The most interesting case of the sightings of an exotic UFO by four officials happened in 1986 on Fehmarn, Germanys third biggest island in the Baltic Sea which was a frontier island during that time when post-WW-2-Germany was still divided into West and East. About this event the BND-UFO-Files reveal the following: In the early morning of August 26, 1986, in the time between 03.00 and 03.30 am, three public officers of the Border Guard office at Puttgarden, who were serving the night-shift, out of their office’s window observed a flying object that travelled in slow speed towards the ferry-station at Puttgarden.
At the same time this flying object was observed by a Puttgarden customs officer too, from the so-called “car-park” of the ferry-station which was positioned about 900ft away from the three border guards officers. After an extensive interview and questioning by the signer of the report, the following circumstances were confirmed: The unidentified flying object approached the ferry-station Puttgarden at the mentioned time in a comparative slow speed (in no way it was a conventional plane) coming from the West. The object was flying at a height of about 150-180ft. As it arrived over the ferry-station Puttgarden, it again reduced its speed even more and came to a nearly complete halt just above the mole-enclosures.
At this time of the observation, the border guard officers heard a sound that they described – in agreement with the customs officer – as a “comparative silently humming sound”, that could possibly be compared with the sound of that of a turbine. All officers were unable to give any description about size, shape and colour of the flying object. This was due top the following reasons: The night was pitch dark. The object emitted such a radial blinding illumination/light, that the above mentioned observations were impossible to make out. One officer even speculated that the this illumination could have been switched on with the intention to avoid an identification, as the used light was neither that of navigation lights nor flood lights, as no directed cones of light went downwards.
After the nearly half of the object just in front of the ferry-station Puttgarden, the object continued its hovering flight in the same altitude eastwards passing above the Navy Coast station Marienleuchte on Fehmarn 1800ft away. Attempts of the signer to get more insights about the observations through other personnel and offices failed. Inquiries were made to the Navy-Coast-Guard stations Westermarkelsdorf, Marienleuchte and Stabernuk (all on Fehmarn island), as well as with the flying squadron of the Border Guard command ‘Coast’ (Helicopters), the operating surveillance of the ferry-station Puttgarden, with the German ferryboats ‘Deutschland’ and ‘Karl Carstens’ and the Danish Police at Rodby. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
I am convinced that the alien intelligence behind the UFO phenomenon is in the process of preparing for something very big. In all myths, and in all religions, it says the gods promise to return. I cannot help but believe that this is exactly what we are facing. It may not occur in my lifetime, but it is possible that it will occur very soon after.
We should be prepared for this event, because whatever occurs, should concern us all. All of us. That means we will share a global or even universal event – and we still know very little about what is going to occur. At the very least, it is time for everyone to consider the possibilities that await us.
Since the beginning of history, people have been taken into the hands of gods and devils, of fairies and elves and goblins. Today, it is extraterrestrial beings. Sometimes, the witnesses only hear a thunder or see something like a bright flash of light. Sometimes they see airships in the clouds above them and believe the ships are from Magonia or some other mysterious place. Sometimes they observe bizarre air ships hanging in the sky, or they may come in contact with spaceships from Zeta Reticuli. These material manifestations only have a secondary meaning. They are dependent on the time in which the person lives. They are dependent upon the subject's beliefs, knowledge, and their hopes and fears.
The basic model of contact between these elusive intelligence's and us has been the same for millennia. We can choose to deny the reality of this model. We can believe that the abductees were only drunk or had visions, or that they dreamed, hallucinated, or made up fairy tales. We would also have to believe that these people – from all over the World – have attempted to make fools of us and they have attempted to do this for many centuries! If you wish to believe this you may. It is your decision as to how you will deal with this information.
No matter how you decide to deny their existence, it will not hinder “The Other Ones.” They will continue to appear among us with their array of masks and deceptive camouflage. They will continue to abduct humans and they will continue on their own mysterious path.
In all the millennia of human history no one has been able to analyze these beings. We are the first ones who have begun to suspect something and who have questioned their behavior. And – what if it is our own questioning and our own suspicion that brought them to us in the first place? Could their actions only be a mirror of our actions; our interaction with nature? Could this intelligence be a frightening reflection of ourselves – reflected back to us in the UFO phenomenon?
Although we are asking the questions and seeking the truth about “The Other Ones” we are still, ladies and gentlemen, light-years away from the answer.
Dr. Johannes Fiebag is the author of several books about the UFO phenomenon and the abduction phenomenon. His last two books about the UFO phenomenon are titled Sternentore [Stargates] and Das UFO-Symdrom [The UFO Syndrome]. Both books were published in German, in 1996.
Johannes Fiebag studied Geology, Paleontology, Physics and Geophysics at the University of Wurzburg, earning a Ph.D. in 1988, with his thesis in a special branch of Planetology. He has written many scientific papers in his field, and currently is a freelance science writer, as well as being the author of several books, not only alone, but with his brother, Peter. His latest book, written with Torsten Sasse, is Mars – Planet de Lebens. Dr. Fiebag was one of the most well-known researchers in the field of contacts with extraterrestrial intelligences in the German-speaking countries of Europe. He was also the Chief Editor of the German-Swiss-Austrian editions of Ancient Skies and Scientific Ancient Skies.
Dr. Fiebag first published his conclusion – what he terms “The Mimicry Hypothesis” – in 1990, in Ancient Skies, a magazine of The Ancient Astronaut Society.
“Oz Factor” is a term invented by Randles in 1983 to describe the strange, seemingly altered state of consciousness commonly claimed by some witnesses of unidentified flying objects and other similar paranormal events. Randles has noted the strange calmness and lack of panic described by the witnesses, relative to the bizarre circumstances that they described and says that they described and defined the Oz factor as “the sensation of being isolated, or transported from the real world into a different environmental framework…where reality is but slightly different, [as in] the fairy tale land of Oz.” She has further noted that “the Oz factor certainly points to consciousness as the focal point of the UFO encounter.”
An unusual discovery made by a local historian at the site of what could be a wizard’s grave in Watten may be the evidence needed to prove the story behind his death.
The village is believed to be the only known location outside of the Scottish Borders which is home to such a mystical burial place.
It is believed Murdo Rivach was beheaded by locals and buried in the village in the 14th century. London-based historian and television presenter Ashley Cowie, who is originally from Wick, discovered a carved stone head at the east end of Loch Watten which is likely to be a stele, CORRECT a stone used to ward off or sometimes attract evil spirits.
He said the stone was the closest link to ever proving the wizard was buried in a circular grave in the village.
“The stele is an extremely rare find,” he said. “Very often in Victorian times, witches were found coming to these sites and performed rituals where they would leave these carved stones.
“I have analysed the stone with the help of an engineer and have discovered it has two faces which was a very common practice in witchcraft.
“Each face signified the polar opposites such as the good and the bad and these stones were used in rituals to either protect from evil or summon up a curse to bring upon evil.
“The significance of this find is that nothing has ever been recovered from that field like this.”
There are a number of accounts about how Rivach came to his end in around 1360.
But the one theory which has proved most popular among historians is that Rivach was sent to Caithness by Hugh Ross, of Sutherland, to collect rent from those who lived on his land.
But locals did not take kindly to the presence of the wizard and reacted to Rivach’s demands by slicing off his head and dumping his body in a circular grave.
There are only eight other recorded wizard burial sites in Scotland and they are all located in the Scottish Borders, which makes the Rivach story even more intriguing to historians.
Mr Cowie is planning to make his discovery known to the archaeological community and said when it was made public, there would be a massive amount of interest in the area.
“If we discover a grave under the site, it would be a magic flag for Caithness,” he said.
“Whether it’s a wizard’s grave, a neolithic grave or a Viking grave, it will be an unusual find.
Mr Cowie is planning to visit the grave site in August and is inviting people to meet him there and find out more about the story. – johnogroat-journal
A strange cluster of bright objects flying in formation has been caught on video over Milan.
The Italian skies were the scene of an unusual spectacle earlier this month when a resident recorded a peculiar series of twinkling lights hovering high above the houses.
The footage lasts around nine minutes and shows the lights slowly moving and switching positions while glowing angelically in the air. The formation appears to change frequently throughout the sighting and nobody present at the time seemed to have any idea what it was that they had just witnessed.
The National Park Service has called new developments proposed for the Grand Canyon the “most serious threat the park has faced in its 95-year history.”
A mesa visible from the South Rim, which belongs to the Navajo Indian Reservation, could soon become a construction site as restaurants, hotels, and shops are erected in an attempt to spur local tourism, according to the Los Angeles Times. The same developers are also planning to install a gondola that will transport visitors from the rim to the canyon floor, currently only accessible by foot or mule.
R. Lamar Whitmer, one of the developers, justified the plans by saying that the NPS offers most visitors only a “drive-by wilderness experience.” He claims that the Grand Canyon Escalade gondola would give less-mobile individuals a chance to see more of this 2 billion-year-old geological wonder. “The average person can’t ride a mule to the bottom of the canyon,” Whitmer said. “We want them to feel the canyon from the bottom.”
The developers are also planning to add 2,200 homes and 3 million square feet of commercial space just south of the canyon. NPS worries those new developments will jeopardize some of the park’s most iconic vistas and push already-strained resources to the brink.
“They are serious threats to the future of the park,” said park superintendent Dave Uberuaga. “When you have that size and scope of potential development that close to the park, it will impact our visitor experience.” -Outside Online
I-Team: Crossing the line into Area 51 gets caught on camera
by George Knapp – A tour bus carrying visitors to the edge of the top secret Area 51 military base has done something that many people have only fantasized about doing. It crossed the line and entered the base.
The driver and his four passengers learned a quick lesson about how serious Area 51 is about its boundary and its security. And the entire incident was captured on video.
In the 25 years since I-Team reports first put the once unknown base on the map, tens of thousands of curious people have trekked out to take a peek.
A few strayed over the line, on purpose, and were quickly scooped up. As far as we know, this is the first intrusion caught entirely on video and it nearly caused the tours to be shut down. Go to I-Team: Crossing the line into Area 51 gets caught on camera for more information and video
Returning to my argument, you can see how most people associated facts without even planning to do so in most cases, which to my understanding could be more or less explained as follows:
Cases defined as cattle mutilations (worldwide) – 60%
(other predatory species, carrion animals, natural death, etc. 40%)
Cases involving mutilations/strange lights – 80%
(Luminous phenomena, ET stories, etc. – 20%)
All of these cases are produced by herds of Megatherium and/or adult specimens, which could even be estimated by the varying amount of prey in disparate areas and conditions. In one place we find 2 chickens and 150 in another; 1 cow in a given situation and 30 in another. The explanation is still pending until the species is known and identified, and let us say that for the moment, they are forced or wandering in their own “modus operandi”. This species, which has managed to adapt and display extreme survival skills, is confirmed by the paleontological background information on territorial expansion, to which we would have to add an evident evolution of evasive and predatory intelligence beyond what we know of omnivorous mammals that exist in our classifications, as well as the explanation of the astonishing attack method directly related to the fluid they release – a highly toxic one that stuns/immobilizes their prey, with an odor often described as a mixture of ammonia and sulfur, leaving phosphate traces that endure for many days over the mutilated carcasses, hindering the action of other carrion animals. It is also possible that another member [of the same species] may return to feed from it.
With a height of 2.30 meters (7.5 feet) in an upright position and an estimated weight of 500 kilograms in an adult specimen, accompanied by a deafening howl, it is understandable – when faced with such intimidation – to think in wolfmen, lobizones, or similar things, unsuitable for the faint of heart. Moreover, if the sighting involves juveniles in a quadrupedal position, they may be associated with ape-dogs, pig-dogs or other legends, as I have described in my 2009 book, available for download on PDF from my website (www.luisjorgesalinas.blogspot.com).
The wrongheaded search for a carnivorous predator to blame, the lack of scientific knowledge due to a policy against “open-mindedness”, lack of interpretation of the various eyewitness ccounts, the various journalistic headlines and names that seemingly describe different species, myths, mythmakers, skeptics on the subject and a host of other reasons have caused most people to disbelieve everything and everyone. I will hold true to my word to my dying day, and I believe in the hundreds of eyewitness reports, and will endeavor to obtain evidence that defies the “extinction theory of American Megafauna.”

- Intricate design is the first one of the year and has emerged in a field near Blandford Forum in Dorset
- The number of crop circles appearing in Britain is declining: 2012 produced 50 while 2013 produced just 15
- Some believe this is because of a recent crackdown by farmers as trespass and destruction of crops is illegal
- Sceptics believe crop circles are entirely man-made, while others believe they are the creation of aliens
A large crop circle in a South West field has been named as the “first of the year”.
The vast and complex pattern, made up of geometric lines and circles appeared overnight in a wheat field near Blandford Forum, Dorset.
While many believe crop circles are created by local pranksters, some think the shapes are evidence of alien intervention, because all the steps are broken at an equal height.
First at the scene was amateur pilot and crop circle enthusiast Matthew Williams, 43.
Matthew, from Avebury, Wiltshire, said: “Last summer we didn’t get many circles, but this beauty certainly makes up for that.
“The first circle of the season really does mark the start of great British summer.
“I know farmers hate them, but you really do have to appreciate the amount of effort that went in to making a 400ft pattern in a field of crops.” – North Devon Journal
THE GREATER COMMUNITY IS THE ENVIRONMENT in which you live. It includes your world and all the worlds in its vicinity. It is a vast region of space where intelligent life is interacting with each other, representing a great network of relationships between societies and between individuals in societies, a greater cosmology and a greater universe. For this, it is necessary to have a greater perspective, a greater understanding and a greater religion.
It is difficult for those who only see their own personal culture and immediate environment to realize the importance and significance of Greater Community Spirituality. The significance isn’t merely in the scope of its teaching, its perspective and its understanding, but in the tremendous practical advantages that it gives you in daily life in your own world and in the very small affairs with which you are normally preoccupied.
The Greater Community here serves as a context—a context for seeing, for understanding and for knowing. It provides an opportunity to see beyond the limits of human thinking, human preoccupations and human beliefs and assumptions. This gives you a tremendous advantage. Thus, the emphasis here is not on what is beyond your realm, but on how to understand your realm within a larger context. What is occurring in other worlds and between other worlds is not your concern. Only very little of what is going on in the Greater Community will have any direct impact on humanity. However, the impact that is being exerted on your world from Greater Community forces is quite sufficient to create the need to learn a Greater Community Spirituality and a Greater Community Way of Knowledge.
Gaining a more universal understanding and perception is the emphasis when we speak of the Greater Community.In the Greater Community, there are many forms of intelligent life and great diversity in cultural ethics, preoccupations, concerns and activities.Yet what is common to all life everywhere that has evolved into the stage of intelligence is the presence and purpose of Knowledge.
Knowledge in the Greater Community is Greater Community Knowledge. The ability to receive Knowledge, to accept it and to apply it represents Wisdom, not only worldly Wisdom, but Wisdom in the Greater Community. As you were taught to see yourself in a very small way, we take you beyond yourself into a larger universe. Then, as you look back upon yourself, you will see what you could have never seen before. And you will recognize your environment more clearly than you ever could have previously.
The Greater Community is made up of a great diversity of life representing many different kinds of physical environments and many stages of individual, cultural, political and spiritual development. The range of this diversity is not your concern. However, the fact that it exists and that you will encounter its reality is profound indeed and gives rise to the great need that we are fulfilling in our presentation to you.
In the Greater Community, there are many worlds where intelligent life has evolved. And there are even more worlds and locations that Greater Community forces have colonized for resource acquisition or to seek new and more safeguarded environments. Worlds such as yours are quite rare and are therefore highly prized and regarded by those in the Greater Community who are aware of them. Indeed, your world has been used as a biological storehouse and resource for millennia by several different races.
You might ask, “Why hasn’t a Greater Community force come to colonize the world and taken it over?” There are several important reasons for this. The first is that the great biological diversity that you enjoy and that represents such splendor in your world poses a great dilemma for advanced races, many of whom have evolved in more sterile environments. Living here is difficult because of the biological diversity itself.
Another disadvantage to your world is that human beings live above ground, which is not preferred by most advanced races.Underground settlements have proven to be far more effective and accommodating, especially when you are actively engaged with other Greater Community powers. This gives you greater security and a greater opportunity to protect your physical resources and your population at large. However, living underground isolates you from biological elements in the outer environment, thus making you more susceptible to illness and attack by other kinds of organisms. This presents an interesting truth in the Greater Community: The more safe and secure you become, the more vulnerable you are.
Therefore, while your world is splendid in its diversity and in its abundance of plants and animals, it also poses a great difficulty for Greater Community visitors to dwell and to abide here with any degree of freedom and mobility. Yes, they can visit you and travel about. Yes, they can do marvelous things. However, they cannot live on the surface very effectively. That is why there is a great attempt now to interbreed with humanity in order to gain this adaptive biological advantage. Mix Greater Community social cohesion and intelligence with human physical endurance and you have a race that, indeed, can abide within the world.
These ideas might seem startling, but from a Greater Community perspective they are quite obvious and apparent. Because you have not functioned within this larger context consciously, these things may seem frightening or difficult to comprehend. However, you must now accept that you are not alone and that you are certainly not at the pinnacle of development in the Greater Community. This is both humbling and refreshingly honest. This gives you the advantage and the motivation to learn, to progress, to overstep your former limitations and boundaries and to gain new abilities and understanding, which your visitors will give you, either intentionally or inadvertently. The conditions of the world require this. This is the world that you have come from your Ancient Home to serve. And these are the things that you must now learn and apply.
The Greater Community offers humanity redemption, but not in the way that you might think. It offers redemption because it poses a greater set of problems and occasions to which you must rise and to which you must now dedicate yourself. This provides escape from the terrible dilemmas and limitations that bind humanity and keep it in a desperate state of survival and self-preoccupation.
Solving greater problems gives you the opportunity to gain greater intelligence, greater ability and greater Wisdom. Only greater problems can do this because their resolution is necessary and because they require greater things from you. It is rare when a human being can develop these qualities without tremendous external demands. The external demands now are here. And though the risks are great and the problems are tremendous, the opportunities are unparalleled.
To meet these greater problems, you will need the Greater Power which the Creator has given you. You cannot rely on conventional wisdom; you cannot even rely upon your intuition. You must seek the Greater Power that is within you that can help you accelerate your development and meet a new set of requirements for adaptation, survival and accomplishment. In this, the Greater Community offers you redemption by requiring greater things of you and by calling upon a Greater Power within you. This is how humanity will advance. This is how all races in the Greater Community advance. And this is the evidence of the Creator’s work, for the Creator does what works, even if it is incomprehensible to those who are destined to be its beneficiaries.
Therefore, do not seek understanding first. Seek involvement and experience. Knowledge within you knows exactly what you must do in life, what you must aspire to and what you must accomplish. It cannot be confused or distracted by the pleasures or the terrors of this world. It is not ambivalent. It is not doubtful. It is not beset with painful memories of the past or a dismal view of the future. It is relentless in carrying you towards your fulfillment and your purpose, for they are one. Fulfilling your purpose represents your work in the world and the purpose for your coming here. The Greater Community is the context for understanding this now, for indeed humanity is in the process of emerging into the Greater Community. You have come to participate in this and to support its successful establishment.
Thus, the Greater Community is your context. It represents a greater life, requiring a greater Wisdom from you and the establishment of greater relationships in your life. This is the evidence of God’s work in the world, which is largely beyond human appreciation. You have not advanced far enough to look back and see the overall impact of this. You do not see how important it is for humanity’s survival, how important it is for humanity to meet the great environmental and political challenges that it faces within its world and how important it is for humanity to meet the even greater challenges of successful engagement with races from the Greater Community.
The Greater Community represents a new understanding of Divinity, Divine purpose and human accomplishment in physical life. It is an entirely new threshold through which to pass. In fact, it represents many new thresholds of understanding. For now, the Greater Community must be equated with the physical universe, but in truth it is not limited only to the physical realm of life. It includes the greater and more refined dimensions of intelligent life and intelligent interaction. It is a consummate experience of life and of the presence of life in which you are immersed.
When we bring you to the Greater Community, we bring you to your life as it really is, in all of its fullness, magnificence, diversity and depth. We do not take you from your world and place you somewhere else. We do not put you in alien environments. We do not give you alien viewpoints and alien understandings. Instead, we bring you to your life as it is and as it will be. And we call upon you to meet life as it is and to prepare for life as it will be.
What is theology but the recognition of Divine involvement in physical life? Speculating about what God is, what God looks like, where God lives or how God functions is clearly a pointless endeavor. The answers to these questions exist in the realm of Mystery far beyond human understanding and concepts, far beyond your ability to understand at the level of ideas and intellect. This is the realm of pure experience. It is the realm of affinity and relationship. It is the realm where greater purpose is to be found, experienced and fulfilled. Therefore, we take you beyond your understanding into a greater arena of life in which you already live to encounter the forces which are already there for you to encounter, to give you a greater presence of mind and a greater facility to deal with life’s mundane problems and to enable you to rise to meet the great challenges which you face in your world at this time. As we do this, we encourage humility, open-mindedness, faith, perseverance and clear discernment.
When we speak of the Greater Community, we are not advocating that you leave the world and travel to some distant place. We are not preparing you for space travel. We are not even encouraging space travel. Space travel will occur because that is part of your destiny and evolution, but that is not what is being encouraged here. You do not need to go to another world to realize you live in a Greater Community, for the Greater Community is at your doorstep. It is looking into your windows. It is in your neighborhood. It is here. It represents splendor and terror, wonderment and beauty, grave problems and dilemmas, just like your world but in a larger context and to a larger degree.
Meet these greater challenges and you will be able to solve the problems that are endemic in your own world. A greater set of problems will enable you to solve lesser ones. This is the ability you need to cultivate now. The Greater Community is redemptive because it creates necessity for you. It is not simply a problem that will exist at some distant time in the future. Greater Community forces are in the world now and are determining the direction of world evolution. The Greater Community represents your destiny and your fate, your dilemma and your greater promise. Success and failure here are critical, and that is why we give Greater Community understanding and Greater Community preparation such tremendous emphasis.
In this book, we present the theology of the Greater Community, which represents the will and the work of the Divine in physical life. To sit in the world and to speculate about what God is up to is not the work of theology. To recognize the work of the Divine and to involve yourself with it wisely and appropriately is what theology is all about. Theology is about understanding and action. If the understanding does not lead to action, then real understanding does not exist. This is the great difference between Wisdom and idealism. Wisdom leads to action, and idealism leads nowhere. It has no direction. You cannot act upon it effectively, for it is not going anywhere. Theology is visceral. It is real. It is here. It is the movement of the world and the movement of the Divine within the world and within the Greater Community as a whole.
The Greater Community is redemptive to you for another very important reason. It is your great opportunity to see into the larger arena of life, to see the grandeur of life and the expanse of life. In this, you will gain a greater appreciation for why you have come into the world and for who sent you. The Greater Community context gives you this opportunity and this requirement. You see, God redeems you by giving you something important to do, something greater than your personal preoccupations, fears and concerns. This is how your value is restored to you. This is how your gift is discovered. And this is how your existence in the world is justified and blessed.
You have been given a greater task and a greater understanding to learn. This is a greater mountain to climb that will make all the small hills that frustrated you before seem truly small and insignificant in comparison. Here you will escape your addictions and dilemmas because you are taking on something greater in life. Here you will escape fear and self-protection and all of the miseries that attend them by moving in a certain direction, by working within a larger context to gain a greater understanding and by using this larger context to resolve the little dilemmas that could only frustrate and obstruct you before. For all these reasons you are blessed to live in the Greater Community and to have the need and the opportunity to learn Greater Community Spirituality and all that it means for your well-being, your development and your continuance as a race.
The Greater Community offers you the requirement to unify your race, a requirement that you desperately need in your world, a requirement that is a necessary part of your evolution and that will make great accomplishments possible both now and in the future. Those things that overshadow you and that call you out of your individual preoccupied life call for the very things that the world needs from you and for you. No matter at what level, in what avenue or in what context your contribution is made, it is to serve this greater movement of humanity. The greater your understanding, the greater the gift that can be given.
Therefore, we present to you the Greater Community as it really is, not as you want it to be, not as it is hoped for, not as it is prescribed by the religions of your world, but as it really is—with all of its inherent problems and its magnificent opportunities.
Redemption is based upon accomplishment. This is the appropriate understanding to have. Therefore, when you pray for peace, for healing, for education, for Wisdom or for equanimity, what you are really calling for is a means for you to gain access to Knowledge, the Greater Mind that you possess, which joins you and bonds you to all life everywhere. You are calling for greater requirements to be given to you. Asking for peace or equanimity, Wisdom or Grace means that you are asking to be given those things that make the fulfillment and experience of these things possible. However, if you ask for escape from life or a reprieve from life or the avoidance of life, you are asking for nothing. In this case, should your request for peace and equanimity be granted and an answer given, you will not understand the answer. The opportunity is to be found in resolving the problems of life and in facing the problems of the Greater Community as they have bearing on your world. Accomplish something here and cultivate a greater awareness and understanding, and you will have a reward that could never be obtained otherwise.
The Greater Community is your new home. It is not new, but it is your new home while you are in the world. You do not live in a village any more, a little municipality or even one nation alone anymore. You are a citizen of a whole world. The Greater Community requires you to have this understanding and this identity because from a Greater Community perspective, human beings are all the same. They are all alike. The differences between you are insignificant. No matter where you are born, what language you speak, where you go to church or what kind of food you eat, from a Greater Community perspective you are a member of the human race. You are a human being. You are a citizen of this world.
This perception of yourself is necessary for your development because you are a member of one race and one world. Your race needs to become unified, even with all of its diversity—its idiosyncrasies, its cultural distinctions and its ethnic divisions. You are still a human being, a member of one race, of one world. Gain this awareness and great things can be done through you. The Creator can work through you. Your purpose can be experienced, and its contribution can be given. Only the Greater Community can offer this to you. You cannot gain this if you are bound to your culture, to your race, to your nation, to your family, or to your daily affairs.
As you learn over time to gain a Greater Community perspective and understanding, you will realize what needs your attention and what problems and difficulties you must set aside or avoid. Then your life will become simple, direct, magnificent and demanding—all the things that lead to accomplishment and to true satisfaction. Life asks a lot of you because your prayers for peace have been answered. You live in a demanding situation because your need for Knowledge and self-integration is so pressing. If you regret that the world is the way it is, you will miss its opportunity. If you regret having to consider or accept that your world is emerging into the Greater Community, then you will miss the answer to your prayers. God gives you something to do that takes you out of your misery and requires that you demonstrate a greater Wisdom and intelligence, both for others and for yourself.
This is the way because in these greater activities, greater relationships are fostered and greater abilities are called upon. You are freed from the past and are called into the present to something greater where you are needed, where you are destined to be and where your contribution is required. This is fulfillment. The Greater Community is calling this from you because you live in the Greater Community, because you are part of a race that is emerging into the Greater Community and because forces from the Greater Community are engaging with the world and are encountering people everywhere. Do not try to understand this, for your understanding cannot encompass its full meaning. However, you can experience it and recognize its value and its meaning for you specifically.
If you can accept that you have come from beyond the world to serve the world, then you will realize that the world you have come to serve is offering the conditions that will bring forth that which you came to give. If you can accept this, then you will stop condemning the world and start looking for its opportunities and allow it to call from you that which you came to give. This calling is natural and the response from you will be natural, more natural than anything else that you can think of. If you can accept these things, then you have entered the path of redemption, accomplishment and fulfillment. It is a long path, a path with many challenges and great learning requirements, but it is a path that will set you apart from others to such an extent that you can gain a greater understanding and a greater ability. And others will benefit from your accomplishment and from your education.
Your preparation for the Greater Community represents the greatest and most vital education that can be fostered and extended in the world today. This education is the only thing that will enable you to solve the growing global problems of the world that seem so overwhelming and that your societies seem so incapable of facing and so poorly equipped to resolve. Preparation for the Greater Community is the most essential thing. It involves all aspects of learning. It requires that the student of Knowledge become effective at solving problems on a small scale so that problems on a larger scale can be recognized, attended to and resolved.
What is the Greater Community? It is your answer. It is what you have come to attend to. Working in your own specific way, you will play a part in the world’s evolution and will fulfill your mission here and the mission of those who have sent you. This is the great promise that we offer. This is the great promise that is born of the world’s emergence into the Greater Community. And this is the great promise that Knowledge within you must respond to, for in this it has no choice
In 1967, Robert Richardson of Toledo, Ohio, struck an unknown object with his car. The object immediately vanished but left one small piece of evidence – an anomalous lump of metal. When Richardson sent the metal to APRO (Arial Phenomenon Research Organization), he soon found himself the centre of unwanted attention, though not the kind Halle Berry’s driving earns her. Two MIB agents driving a black Cadillac turned up on his doorstep.
The men did not show him identification and Richardson did not ask to see any – their smart black suits were enough to imply that they were authority figures. It was not until the two men had left that Richardson began to think the meeting suspicious; he had told nobody about his experience other than his wife and the researchers at APRO. Furthermore, the Cadillac, which was a 1953 model but appeared to be in mint condition as if brand new, was marked with unregistered plates.
One week later, two more men in black suits came to his door. This time they asked him to hand over the metal artefact. When Richardson told them that he had sent it to be analysed they said that he had better get it back and threatened to harm his wife if he did not. Richardson never did hand over the metal but his wife was never harmed, a gambit I’m sure went over without incident in their marriage.
The second set of MIB agents to speak to Richardson have been described as foreign, as have many MIB officers. They are quite typically ‘olive skinned’ (or possibly wearing makeup) and having Asian (or perhaps Native American) features. Although this might not seem particularly unusual for government agents today, it certainly would have been odd back in the 1950s, 60s and 70s when the MIB were at their most active.
Perhaps the strangest thing about the Men in Black would seem to be that their intimidation tactics rarely work (although there may be many cases in which people have been effectively silenced that we do not know about). Quite the opposite, in fact; many witnesses of UFO related phenomenon have come forward and shared their stories despite warnings by the MIB and would seem to have been urged by feelings of defiance. What’s more, they are also able to add their MIB encounter to the story, convinced that the government is trying to cover up some dark secret. If they are, this would seem to be an ineffective way of doing so.
Their failure to follow up on their threats is almost universal and they rarely exercise the powers we know the actual U.S government has at their command. This has caused some to claim that the MIB are in fact an anti-government organization and that they use reverse psychology to encourage people to publicize their UFO encounters and further accuse the U.S government of orchestrating a cover-up. Other theories, however, claim that an alien force is behind the MIB, even that MIB agents may be aliens in human form. This would certainly explain a thing or two, the MIB’s poor understanding of human interaction, for example.
Machu Picchu: nieuwe ontdekkingen bevestigen astronomische kennis Inca's
Machu Picchu: nieuwe ontdekkingen bevestigen astronomische kennis Inca’s
Een team van Poolse en Peruaanse archeologen heeft melding gemaakt van enkele nieuwe ontdekkingen in Machu Picchu, de meest beroemde archeologische vindplaats in Peru.
Peruaanse onderzoekers zijn tot de conclusie gekomen dat de Inca’s sterrenwachten in Machu Picchu gebruikten om de beweging van hemellichamen te volgen. De krant El Comercio meldt dat het onderzoeksteam specifiek naar Intimachay heeft gekeken, waar een bouwwerk met twee raamopeningen staat.
De onderzoekers zeggen dat de oude Inca-astronomen een aantal astronomische fenomenen volgden vanuit de observatoria, waaronder de zomer- en winterwendes en de beweging van de maan in cycli van 19 jaar.
Volgens de archeologen was Intimachay hoogstwaarschijnlijk een heilige plek. In een ander deel van Machu Picchu, Inkaraqay geheten, is ook een observatorium gevonden. De sterrenwacht staat op de Huayna Picchu, een berg die gelegen is aan de noordzijde van de verloren stad.
Mariusz Ziolkowski van de Universiteit van Warschau zei dat de voorouders van de Inca’s zeer nauwkeurige instrumenten hebben gebouwd om vanuit deze twee observatoria hemelverschijnselen te observeren. “Deze resultaten laten zien hoeveel kennis de Inca’s hadden op het gebied van astronomie,” zei directeur van het nationaal archeologisch park Machu Picchu Fernando Astete.
Het internationale team wetenschappers maakte gebruik van 3D-scans om de bouwwerken te analyseren en hun vorm en plaats te vergelijken met de positie van de sterren zoals ze door de Inca’s moeten zijn gezien.
Het is voor het eerst dat het bestaan van Inca-astronomie is bevestigd, hoewel de Spaanse kroniekschrijver Sarmiento de Gamboa er in 1572 al over schreef.
De Plejaden was één van de belangrijkste sterrenbeelden voor de Inca’s. Ze noemden dit sterrenbeeld ook wel ‘de Zeven Kinderen’. Zodra dit sterrenbeeld aan de hemel verscheen, werd het nieuwe jaar ingeluid. De Inca’s hebben op veel plaatsen sterrenwachten gebouwd, maar Machu Picchu werd niet vernietigd omdat de verloren stad nooit door de Spanjaarden is ontdekt.
De bergstad werd in 1867 ontdekt en geplunderd door de Duitse goudzoeker en houthandelaar Augusto Berns, met toestemming van de Peruaanse regering. Berns verkocht de historische schatten aan Europese musea.
In 1911 verrichte historicus Hiram Bingham een studie naar de Inca-paden in de omgeving van de stad. Tijdens deze studiereis ontdekte hij Machu Picchu opnieuw. Brede bekendheid kreeg de stad in 1913 toen National Geographic er een compleet nummer aan wijdde.
Tachtig procent van al het licht in het heelal is zoek. Dat blijkt uit recente waarnemingen met de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop. Astronomen staan voor een groot raadsel.
David Weinberg van de Ohio State University merkt in The Astrophysical Journal Letters op dat de waterstofbruggen tussen sterrenstelsels niet oplichten zoals verwacht. “Ze lichten juist te veel op en we kunnen noch het licht, noch de bron waar het licht vandaan komt zien,” zei hij.
Wanneer de waterstofatomen worden geraakt door hoogenergetisch ultraviolet licht, veranderen ze van elektrisch neutrale atomen in geladen ionen. De astronomen waren verrast toen ze veel meer waterstofionen vonden dan op basis van al het aanwezige uv-licht, dat grotendeels afkomstig is van quasars, in het heelal kan worden verklaard. Het gaat om een verschil van maar liefst 400 procent.
Donkere materie
Astrofysici hebben geen idee wat er precies gebeurt of wat de oorzaak is van de effecten op de waterstofbruggen tussen de sterrenstelsels. Ze weten wel dat de ontdekking niet strookt met de huidige opvattingen over de rol van waterstof in het universum en de huidige computermodellen.
Het mysterie wordt nog groter op het moment dat de resultaten in het nabije en het verre heelal met elkaar worden vergeleken:
Het verschil is vreemd genoeg alleen te zien in het nabije heelal. Als telescopen worden gericht op sterrenstelsels die miljarden lichtjaren bij ons vandaan staan, lijkt alles gewoon te kloppen.
Coauteur Benjamin Oppenheimer van de Universiteit van Colorado in Boulder zei niet te weten waar het ontbrekende licht is te vinden. “Als we alle bekende bronnen van fotonen in ultraviolet licht bij elkaar optellen, missen we nog altijd 80 procent van alle ioniserende straling,” zei hij. “De vraag is waar het vandaan komt. De meest fascinerende mogelijkheid is dat een exotische nieuwe bron verantwoordelijk is voor de ontbrekende lichtdeeltjes.”
Het zou bijvoorbeeld kunnen gaan om de mysterieuze donkere materie, die sterrenstelsels bij elkaar houdt, maar nog nooit direct is waargenomen. Het licht is mogelijk een bijproduct van het verval van deze donkere materie.
videoDe vuurbal boven het zuidoosten van Australië donderdagavond was geen UFO of vliegtuigongeluk. Australische media hebben vrijdag deskundigen aan het woord gelaten en hun oordeel luidde vrijwel unaniem: afval van een Russische Sojoezraket.
Een van hen, Jonathan McDowell van het centrum voor astrofysica van de Amerikaanse Harvard Universiteit, identificeerde het brandende object. Het was de derde trap van de Sojoezraket die afgelopen dinsdag in Kazachstan werd gelanceerd om een weersatelliet in de ruimte te brengen.
Het ruimteafval scheerde met een snelheid van bijna 29.000 kilometer per uur door het luchtruim. Het leidde tot verbazing en onrust in de regio. Een aantal mensen belde nooddiensten over een brandend vliegtuig of de komst van een meteoriet.
Over de plaatsen waar restanten zouden zijn neergekomen, heerst onenigheid. De Australische astronoom Brian Schmidt schat dat "restafval" kan zijn neergekomen in een dunbevolkte streek circa 500 kilometer ten noordwesten van Sydney. Collega's denken dat veel zuidelijker in Australië of in de Stille Oceaan restanten van de Sojoezraket zijn neergekomen.
Fotoreeks Het is weinig stervelingen gegund, een blik op de aarde werpen vanuit de ruimte. Dankzij de moderne technologie kunnen u en ik er toch ietwat 'live' van genieten. De Australische nieuwssite news.com.au verzamelde tweets die astronauten van het internationale ruimtestation ISS recent de wereld instuurden. Het resultaat is een reeks prachtige foto's van onze aarde zoals u ze zelden zag. Magische kiekjes die we u niet wilden onthouden...
Over exact een jaar bereikt het ruimtetuig New Horizons, na acht en half jaar reizen, de planeet Pluto. Alan Stern, een planetair wetenschapper en voormalig wetenschappelijk directeur bij NASA, plande niet alleen de datum, maar ook het exacte tijdstip. "En we zijn op schema."
Volgend jaar, op 14 juli 2015, zal het onbemande ruimtevaartuig New Horizons de planeet Pluto bereiken. Al is de term "bereiken" relatief.
"Op het dichtste punt, ligt er nog altijd 9.650 kilometer tussen New Horizons en Pluto", licht Alan Stern toe. "We hebben die afstand zorgvuldig berekend om er zeker van te zijn dat het de scherpste foto's kan maken, zonder in de baan van Pluto getrokken te worden. En 9.650 kilometer is veel dichterbij dan we ooit geweest zijn, het vorig record ligt op enkele miljarden kilometers."
Dwergplaneet Pluto's degradatie van planeet naar dwergplaneet in 2006, hetzelfde jaar als de lancering van New Horizons, kwam voor velen als een donderslag bij heldere hemel. Sindsdien is er veel discussie over het feit of Pluto al dan niet een echte planeet is, al geeft Stern te kennen dat Pluto voor hem altijd een planeet zal zijn.
Al bij al weten wetenschappers eigenlijk helemaal niet wat ze op de dwergplaneet zullen aantreffen. En dat maakt de missie net zo interessant. "Tijdens de eerste missies naar Jupiter had bijvoorbeeld niemand verwacht om manen met actieve vulkanen te vinden."
Onbegrensd reizen Voor gegevens en de scherpe foto's zullen ruimteliefhebbers wat meer geduld moeten uitoefenen. De wetenschappers hebben op de dag dat Pluto bereikt wordt een radiostilte gepland, zodat het ruimtetuig zoveel mogelijk gegevens kan verzamelen. De eerste foto's zullen dus pas op 15 juli 2015 binnenkomen.
New Horizons is in een perfecte staat en heeft nog genoeg brandstof. Na de ontmoeting met Pluto blijft het gewoon verder reizen, tot de buitenste rand van ons zonnestelsel. Wie op de hoogte wil blijven van de reis kan terecht op de website van New Horizons.
Na ruim een jaar onderzoek is een expertencommissie van de Chileense overheid het er over eens. De beelden van een 'vliegende schotel', die in april 2013 boven een kopermijn werden geschoten, zijn die van een 'echte UFO'.
Het vliegende object, een schijf met een diameter van vijf à tien meter, werd gespot door enkele kompels van de kopermijn in Collahuasi. Zij beschreven het verschijnsel als een "afgeplatte helverlichte schotel". Een mijnwerker fotografeerde het fenomeen met zijn Kenox Samsung S860 en maakte de beelden over aan de overheid.
Een bevoegde commissie oordeelde dat het 'ding' in geen geval een meteoroligsch verschijnsel kon zijn, evenmin als een experimenteel vliegtuig, weerballon of drone. Het Committee for the Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA) vond de beelden bijzonder genoeg voor nader onderzoek en kwalificeerde ze als "ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object". De 'vliegende schotel' voerde "op- en neerwaartse vluchtbewegingen uit op zowat 600 meter boven het aardoppervlak", aldus nog het rapport.
Astronomen hebben de tot nu toe kleinste planeet rond een andere ster dan onze Zon ontdekt, zo bericht een team rond Thomas Barclay van de NASA in het wetenschappelijke vakblad Nature.
Barclay en co stelden met de Kepler-telescoop van de NASA vast dat er rond ster Kepler-37 een mini-planeet en twee compagnons draaien. Het gaat om de tot nog toe kleinste planeet die ooit buiten ons zonnestelsel is ontdekt. De diameter van het ding bedraagt slechts 3.800 km terwijl de diameter van onze Maan 3.800 km bedraagt.
De planeet draait rond Kepler-37 met twee andere planeten waarvan één nog wat kleiner en de andere duidelijk groter is. Vermoedelijk gaat het om een wereld van gesteente, zonder lucht en water, lijkend op "onze" Mercurius maar duidelijk kleiner. Leven is er niet mogelijk.
Diversiteit De astronomen benadrukken dat de vondst nog maar eens bewijst dat verre planetaire systemen duidelijk van het onze kunnen verschillen.
De vraag is echter of het pas ontdekte ding zijn status van planeet zal kunnen behouden. In 2006 legde de Internationale Astronomische Unie (IAU) strenge omschrijvingen voor het begrip 'planeet' vast, waardoor de kleine Pluto tot dwergplaneet werd gedegradeerd. Strikt genomen geldt de normering van de IAU evenwel enkel voor ons eigen zonnestelsel en worden planeten daarbuiten exoplaneten genoemd.
Video footage captured from the live camera stream of the International Space Station (ISS) shows what appears to be a giant cigar shaped UFO hovering nearby. The live footage was captured on July 9th, 2014.
It appears for approximately four minutes before fading away. The footage was taken by one of the ISS external cameras that are normally directed earthwards. The non-stationary nature of the UFO and the way it slowly moves has led some to conclude it is not a lens flare or similar lighting aberration.
This is not the first time that the ISS live camera feed has captured what appears to be a large UFO in the vicinity. The UFO appears to be very similar to the May 13, 2014 sighting from the same camera. The only difference is that the reported half a dozen orange lights are not flashing in a random manner. Back on January 29, NASA live streamingshowed what appeared to be a sleek elliptical UFO docked with the hull of the International Space Station. The object was between the Russian research module and the Soyuz escape capsule. Its size was approximately 10 meters. Some claimed that the UFO was related to an ISS ceremony featuring the Olympic flag. Yet the ISS ceremony was held in November 2013, and the flag was only about a meter in size, far smaller than the estimated 10 meter UFO.
Normally, I would chuckle, but the repeated theme of underground reptilian people (seen in caves around the world supposedly) and a legend of Lenni Lenape that 5000 years ago in the west there was a giant volcano eruption that drove them east, made this story of reptilians digging under ground 5000 years ago to escape the fiery apocalypse rather coincidental. These correlations in separate accounts intrigue me. There are repeated stories of tunneling under the California area and with an ancient giant civilization in that region and the islands off of California, it seems these sorts of stories need to be looked at more closely. The Hopi have a legend of people going underground to avoid a cataclysm. Supposed giant mummies were found with all their belongings archived in Death Valley caves and Grand Canyon by reported stories in the news in the early 1900s. Stories of Lizard people underground are not rare. Phantoms and Monsters (my favorite archive site – see more about them on this afternoon's posting) has stories of people running into such beings in caves in Missouri and Austria. So, is it feasible that these tunnels could be under LA? Well, sometimes when legends line up with other legends, there might be something going on – like waterways under LA (see bottom of post), and a fiery event 5000 years ago driving giants underground (and lizard people?) I plan to pursue this more and perhaps even check out Springerville (below). I'm too curious. From 1934, G. Warren Shufelt reported to the Los Angeles Times that he had discovered a series of caverns under LA that houses Reptoid people in ancient times. Reportedly, 5000 years ago a huge “tongue of fire” obliterated the Southwest and these people were forced to go underground. Reportedly, they had made tunnels in an upper and lower grid. The lower grid allowed sea water to rush through and force clean air into the upper level. There were rooms that were like “high rises” underground where they stored herbage for food.
Supposedly, according to Shufelt, some tunnels ran 20 miles under Santa Monica Bay and were used for ventilation.
For a comprehensive writing about this intriguing story, go here. Here's a short clip from the info there; “The “Lizard People” of Los Angeles survived the meteor shower, but were killed by natural gas leaking into their bunkers. Shufelt believed that they had built 13 such underground facilities in different areas for such a purpose. One was located in the eastern section of Arizona in a small town called Springerville and was only discovered recently.
Another was located under a hill which was surrounded by a curving ridge of mountains like the middle of a horse's hoof. This is exactly the type of terrain seen in downtown L.A. in the area that is now the Board of Education, which is built over the ruins of the old Willis Estate on top of Fort Moore hill. Shufelt and his partner Chief Little Green Leaf were both convinced that the ancient legends and the readings from Shufelt's mystery machine were true.
They decided to obtain a permit to sink a shaft down into the ruins of the subterranean city. They located a vacant lot at 518 North Hill Street, directly above one of the largest rooms. On 21st February 1933, the County Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Rex McCreary, Warren Shufelt and Ray Martin to search for buried treasure there.
The permittees were to bear all expenses, to leave the property in its original condition, and to share 50% of all discoveries and treasure with the city of L.A.
The county originally only allowed them to dig up to depths of 50 feet for fear of cave-ins. On 27th March 1933 they requested additional time and depths on their permit, believing that the labyrinth of tunnels was at least 1,900 feet in length, with rooms containing 9,000 square feet which contained valuable gold treasure in at least 16 places.
On 10th April 1933 the contract was renewed. By the end of November in 1933, the main shaft was at a depth of 200 feet. Shufelt was determined to drill to a depth of 1,000 feet if necessary. On 29th January 1934, the first stories regarding the legend of the “Lost Land of the Lizard People” made the L.A. newspapers. By this time, one of the five shafts was already 250 feet deep.
According to the legend and the radio surveys, the underground city was laid out in the shape of a lizard, with its tail under the Main Library at Fifth and Hope, and the body extending Northeast, with the head being at Lookout and Marda near North Broadway. The key room to the city was located under Second and South Broadway.
The legends state that the key room is the directory to the rest of the city, and to the historical gold record tablets. These gold tablets were slabs of gold, 4 feet long and 14 inches wide.
The tablets were believed to contain the records of the origins of the human race, and the history of modern man in the Americas, including details regarding the history of the mysterious Mayan people. Shufelt's radio-wave machine mapped the rooms and tunnels as subsurface voids, with the gold slabs as dark areas, showing perfect geometric angles.
The rooms, seven of which occurred within an area of six square city blocks, varied in size from 23' x 23' to 34' x 42'. The room below the first shaft was 31' x 42', and the key room was the smallest. Water had seeped into some of the tunnels, and several of the rooms including the largest were flooded. Shufelt was prepared to use divers to explore the submerged areas when they finally broke into the subterranean city.”
NOTE: If you're enjoying this legend – there is another one that there are waterways under California that lead our military to secret bases under the desert floor by submarine. Enjoy the story here.
