I’m inviting Stuart Robbins - and all the rest of the skeptics and members of the UFOCI – to simply…test this photo:
WCUFO extended cupola
Notice that I even said…please.
Here’s the drill, drop it into PhotoShop, increase the brightness, lower the contrast and let’s see what you come up with.
Since we know that an eight-year old can do this in just a couple of minutes, it’s not going to be beyond anyone’s technical ability to just…test the photo.
And since it’s obviously no ordinary photo but one that speaks to the credibility of the extraordinary claims that the WCUFO is not of this world, all of those invited to test it have the opportunity to:
Explain the results that they themselves will get.
Present some other credible, substantiated explanation for the photo – and the 62 other ones of the same object – as well as for the five-minute video of it.
By now we all know that the photo was taken in 1981, on 35mm film, by Billy Meier, who never drew any attention to it, nor hinted that there was much more to it than meets the eye.
So, will the invitees have the personal and professional integrity to participate in this little test, which only takes a few minutes, and then report their results?
Will we finally have gotten past petty excuses, attempted dismissals, outright avoidance and on to facing the facts, whatever they may be?
This little exercise could actually be a precursor to doing something meaningful together – like helping prevent WW III – more about which I’ll expound upon once we have all of the results in.

Otzi the Iceman: Non-Human DNA Found in Hip Bone of 5,300-Year-Old Mummy
Much of what is known about Otzi the Iceman, who lived thousands of years ago, stems from a tiny bone sample preserved in a glacier in the Otztal Alps, which allowed researchers to decode his genetic makeup.
Now, scientists have further analysed the hip bone and discovered it contains non-human DNA.
Researchers from the European Academy of Bozen/Bolzano (EURAC) and the University of Vienna have found evidence for the presence of Treponema denticola, an opportunistic pathogen involved in the development of periodontal disease.
The findings could support a CT-based diagnosis made last year which indicated that the iceman suffered from periodontitis.
“What is new is that we did not carry out a directed DNA analysis but rather investigated the whole spectrum of DNA to better understand which organisms are in this sample and what is their potential function,” said researcher Frank Maixner, as quoted by Science Daily.
“This ‘non-human’ DNA mostly derives from bacteria normally living on and within our body,” added Thomas Rattei, a professor of bioinformatics at the University of Vienna.
“Only the interplay between certain bacteria or an imbalance within this bacterial community might cause certain diseases,” he explained.
“Therefore it is highly important to reconstruct and understand the bacterial community composition by analysing this DNA mixture.”
Unexpectedly, the researchers detected a sizable presence of the bacteria in the tiny bone sample, which provided information that the pathogen seems to have been distributed via the bloodstream from the mouth to the hip bone.
Furthermore, the investigations indicate that these members of the human commensal oral microflora were old bacteria which did not colonise the body after death.
The EURAC team also detected Clostridia-like bacteria in Otzi’s bone sample which are at present most presumably in a kind of dormant state. Under hermetically sealed, anaerobic conditions, however, these bacteria can re-grow and degrade tissue.
This discovery may well play a significant part in the future conservation of the world-famous mummy.
“This finding indicates that altered conditions for preserving the glacier mummy, for example when changing to a nitrogen-based atmosphere commonly used for objects of cultural value, will require additional micro-biological monitoring,” the researchers said in a statement, as reported by Science 2.0. – Yahoo
I could have thrown a rock at it, it was so close and low. A huge black triangle with white lights on each corner and a couple red blinking lights as well. Then another smaller triangle came across the river.
Hello everyone, I’m 18 years old and I’m your average college student dude. Never have I really thought about paranormal beings, haunting etc. That all changed 2 years ago.
Whenever I sleep I just lie on my stomach so when I wake up I pretty much look at the ground. I woke up in the middle of the night and I saw somebody standing in front of me. Now, I should be scared shitless! The weird thing about the whole thing is that I wasn’t scared at all. I looked up and I saw this little girl standing in front of me. Motionless, she just stared at the window next to me. I just turned around and went back to sleep. I remembered it so clearly when I woke up, I almost cried out of fear.
I’m a heavy gamer so I usually game all night in the weekends. Now, let me get something clear before I continue, my house is VERY old. My room is next to the stairs and it screeches heavily when somebody walks on it. While I was gaming somebody just stormed upstairs and I just looked at the door. I was shocked. Everyone was asleep and I was the ONLY person awake in my house. I stared for about 20 minutes then I decided to go to sleep, still shocked from what just had happened.. I asked my mother the next morning if it was her. She said no…
Yet again, I woke up in the middle of the night. The same girl that I saw months prior to that day was standing in front of me. She just looked at the wall and yet again, I wasn’t scared. It seems that whenever this happens I’m just immune to fear. I just closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
The next day I was watching a movie in the living room and I heard ” Bang bang bang bang bang ” like somebody tumbling off the stairs. Now I have a three year old brother who was sleeping at that time so out of human nature I ran like a madman to the stairs to see if he somehow fell down. There was no one there. I stood there, paralyzed, I didn’t know what to do. Everyone was asleep and I felt like running to my mother but I just couldn’t go upstairs, I was way too scared. I ran to the kitchen, made some coffee and tried to forget about it.
The last encounter which happened like 2 months ago was the scariest of all. Like the last two encounters, I woke up in the middle of the night, immune to fear. There was this creature, I don’t know, it looked like a demon of some sort. It didn’t have any eyelids or lips. It was laying down on the floor while looking at me, smiling with his huge eyes. I looked right in his eyes for about 20 seconds, I didn’t feel any fear, it almost felt like I was drugged, I simply didn’t care. I went back to sleep and woke up remembering everything. My mom walked into my room and she asked me why the shower was turned on. I woke up like 2 hours prior to the encounter and I heard somebody in the shower, I thought that it was my mother because from time to time she takes a shower around 1 AM. The shower was still running in the morning. – Reddit.com
MOSSY GROVE, Tenn. (WATE) – A mysterious figure is capturing the attention of social media. She’s been nicknamed “the woman in black” and she’s been spotted in different parts of east Tennessee and Virginia.
Few people claim to know much about the so called “woman in black” spotted in the Mossy Grove, Tenn. area Friday. Alexandria Schubert was ringing someone up at the convenience store she works at when she saw the woman walk by.
“Nobody knows the story to her. She won’t talk to nobody. It’s like a mysterious story on the internet,” said Alexandria Schubert.
The “woman in black” is sharing some details about herself. The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office told WCYB in the Tri-Cities area that her name is Elizabeth Poles and she’s from Motts, Alabama.
“That is a first and I’m a 42 year old. I have never seen anybody dressed like that or around here like that,” said Mary Hawn of Oakdale, Tenn.
The 56 year old woman claims she’s on a bible mission and it looks like she’s making her way down south.
Last month, she was in Wise, Virginia and was captured on YouTube arguing with a man in a Walmart parking lot about religion. Videos like that and plenty of pictures posted to social media are making people pull over when they see this woman.
“We passed her maybe twice and the third time we stopped to see if she needed anything because my daughter was telling me she’s been on Facebook, everywhere,” said Hawn.
For most who saw her in Tennessee Friday, they can’t believe they saw the woman everyone’s been talking about.
“Where’s she going? What is she doing? Still wondering her story,” said Schubert.
A reporter from WATE in Knoxville tried to ask the “woman in black” some questions, but it seems like she wants to remain a mystery.
The “woman in black” also told investigators she was from an Islamic nation and worked at the Pentagon, but they determined that wasn’t true. – WSPA
Once more we find ourselves with direct information regarding strange presences during the month of May 2014 on the shores of Necochea, Argentina.
It is here that we have found four (4) witnesses who speak of seeing strange lights at night on the Necochea’s very shoreline, its beach, as well as sightings of a strange humanoid-type creature. These events occurred on Sunday, 18 May and Tuesday, 20 May at night.
In both cases, the sightings took place from an apartment on the coast of the swimming resort itself. It should be noted that at the time, these were very cold evenings and with rain/showers during the first incident. The beaches of Necochea are illuminated by very large floodlights, allowing witnesses in these cases to see the strange presences. The names of the protagonists have been changed at their own request, but all information is in my possession. Let us hear now from the protagonists of these events.
Strange Lights over the Beach
The evening of Sunday, 18 May 2014 was a very cold one, with steady rain and rain showers. There was no one on the shoreline, and some wind was prevalent over the area. Two technicians for a major corporation – whom we shall call Ramiro Z. and Christian B., were looking through the window of an apartment located facing the sea, on the 11th floor of an important new building in the village.
Strange New Humanoid Presence on the Beaches of Necochea, Argentina
Ramiro Z. and Cristian B. are professionals in different technical areas. They perform their duties for a well-known company in Necochea and are 48 and 50 years old, respectively. They told us:
“We were looking through the window of the apartment located facing the sea and something caught our attention. We could see some strange lights lighting the very edge of the sea, but given their distance, it wasn’t possible to make them out clearly. Imagine our surprise when moments after seeing these lights, located around Avenida 2 and Calle 81, approximately, but on the shore, at its very edge, we saw a person walking in that direction out of thin air – a person we were unable to see clearly. We call it a person because it was a humanoid figure heading toward the lights. We then called another person, whom we shall call Guadalupe P. to come have a look. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to make out the humanoid figure, but did manage to glimpse the lights at the very edge of the sea, on the beach itself. The figure vanished moments later, as did the strange lights on the shore. The time was approximately 22:15 – 22:20 hours of the evening. It should be noted that it wasn’t a 4×4 truck or any motorcycle that could have been on the beach, since the lights were different and they [cast light] like a spotlight on that part of the shore. Furthermore, it was raining, and no one under such circumstances is going to wander around the shore on a cold and rainy night.”
That was the story of my two eyewitnesses, both of them fully qualified by their studies and the functions they carry out in their jobs.
They believe it was a strange object, while unable to make out its size or shape. What they saw with a humanoid shape could have also been its occupant, who for some reason stopped on the shore before returning and vanishing abruptly. They were unable to make out any clothing or facial features at all.
It should be noted that seeing lights and strange objects on the Necochea shoreline is quite common: over the sea, exiting and/ or entering its depths, hovering over vessels waiting their turn to enter the Port of Quequén-Necochea – in short, the case histories are abundant in these matters and I myself have witnessed some of them.
A Strange Humanoid Presence on the Shore
Two days after these events – more precisely Tuesday, 20 May – Mrs. Guadalupe P. and her daughter Marcela P. noticed the strange presence of a humanoid-type “person” who “floated as it walked” on the shore itself, also at night and without anyone else being there. They were in their apartment facing the shoreline on Avenida 2 of the city of Necochea.
This is the story of both protagonists:
This is the testimony of Guadalupe P., a professional, married with three children, age 52. He holds a senior position in a teaching institution in Necochea:
“On May 20 at approximately 22:15 hours, my 17-year-old daughter summoned me because she had seen something “strange” moving along the seashore from south to north. I should explain that we live facing the sea on the 11th floor. It was a clear but very cold night. An ethereal figure in whitish hues, yet simultaneously transparent, could be made out. It stood 1.60/1.65 meters tall, average. Considering how cold it was that evening, it really caught our attention. It gave the impression of flying in the air (its feet were unsupported). In order to see it better, we turned off the lights of the apartment and looked out the balcony, opening the window. We were able to confirm that the figure was traveling in the air. Facing our seaside apartment there is a wooden platform (used in the summer as a bar and refreshment vending point) and this figure stopped there for a few seconds before moving on. We saw it for a few meters but lost it from sight in front of the sandbanks. It should be noted that the beaches are lit up to that point. We don’t know if it went into the sea or kept walking toward the seawall. All of this happened over a 250 meter stretch.”
This is the statement of her daughter Marcela P., a 17-year-old student:
“20 May 2014 was a very cold night. It would’ve been around 22:15 hours, approximately. I was sitting in an armchair in my apartment on the 11th floor, looking out onto the Necochea seashore. Spotlights lit the beach, there was no one around, but I managed to see a “person”. For this reason, I called my Mom over so she could look, and as she regarded it for a few seconds, realized it wasn’t a person, since it didn’t appear to be wearing clothes, a scarf, hats or shoes (and as I said earlier, it was a very cold night). For that reason we turned off the apartment’s lights, looked out from the balcony and could see it more clearly. The figure stood approximately 1.60 meters, I think, an average height, was very diffuse, its lower body was barely visible. What we could see clearly, though, is that it was moving in the air, as if floating. It kept going for some 100 meters until it reached a platform with wooden pilings that is used in the summer as a refreshment stand. It stopped there, lingered a few seconds, and kept going another 150 meters, although its figure became less noticeable, it became more diffuse, until it finally vanished altogether. This is the first time I’ve seen something like this. I was stunned. For that reason I keep looking through the balcony at night, hoping to see something like it again.”
These are the direct eyewitness reports of the protagonists of this strange sighting. On the full shores of Necochea, on a very cold night with no one around. When I asked about lights near the edge of the sea or elsewhere, both told me that there were no lights in evidence, as in the previous case. They did clearly see this strange humanoid figure, floating as it walked. It was in the air. It seemed to vanish at times, as parts of its body could not be seen. Its size was apparently normal. Could it have been the same creature seen two days earlier by Ramiro Z. and Cristian B.? What was it looking for on the seashore, and wandering along the coastline? Where did it finally go?
Conclusion
Necochea is no stranger to UFO sightings and the presence of its occupants. I have personally looked into dozens of cases with multiple witnesses of varied socio-cultural backgrounds, finding true cases of UFO encounters as well as with the presence of occupants, such as the famous incident I dubbed “The Amelia Case: Contact in Necochea, Argentina” on 14 February 1988, with the sighting of two humanoid beings, and years ago, on 31 August 1978, a sighting of strange amorphous beings – a case I dubbed “The Estancia La Dulce Case – A UFO Encounter with Amorphous Entities”, and more recently the strange photo taken in November 2013 at Necochea Beach, showing the photo of a tall humanoid – an image that went around the world through the news and UFO media. “The Humanoid of Necochea Beach”, was the title I gave it. They have also left their mark in a wealth of landing incidents, such as the Aeroclub Gral. Necochea incident of 9 November 1968, the ground marks found on February 1988 in a house in Miguel Lillo Park, the six circles discovered on Thursday, 11 February 1988 on the premises of the Sociedad Rural de Necochea (“Strange Prints in Necochea”) and finally, another print found on 24 December 2013 near a field in Necochea (“Strange Print Found in a Field Near Necochea”) where a large, perfect circle measuring 11 meters was found in a wheat field. The cases continue and I could keep listing them — UFO chases such as the famous case known as “The Necochea Incident: Analysis of a Contact” in August 1962, micro-flaps in 1978 during the month of August of that year, and may other events that took place in various seasons of the year since 1962 (which I have followed up on and researched many years later, as I wasn’t born at the time) to this date. Multiple sightings over the city, over the sea, over the Quequén River, over the Park, over the adjacent locality of Quequén, photographs, video recordings of these events, and coming across the widest variety of witnesses as the protagonists of these events.
What happened last May on the shores of Argentina can be added to this rich and important case history within world ufology. I personally believe that these events played out exactly as told by the witnesses. A strange humanoid figure traveled along the coast of Necochea – for reasons unknown to us – one night in May 2014.

More than 400 people attended each of the three days of the 2014 MUFON Symposium in Cherry Hill, NJ, this past week – which caused some to report past UFO cases.
The witness in a 1999 Lee County, Alabama, case finally came forward with his account after attending the 2014 MUFON Symposium. Pictured: Lee County, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
The Symposium speakers included:
A Keynote Address by George Knapp focusing on the Area 51 whistleblower 25 years later.
MUFON Director of Communications Roger Marsh speaking on “Covering UFOs.”
Pennsylvania State Director John Ventre on “Anderson Cooper and the Case for UFOs.”
Huffington Post writer Lee Speigel on “UFOs: From Cave Walls to Modern Reports.”
Dr. Lynne Kitei on “Beyond the Phoenix Lights.”
Director James Fox on “UFO Filmmaking.”
Stephen Bassett on “Congressional UFO Disclosure.”
Syfy channel television host Ben Hansen on “Media, Technology and Belief.”
UFO Hunters host Bill Birnes on “UFO Hunters: Season One.”
Linda Moulton Howe on “10,000 B.C. Gobekli Tepe and Other Ancient Stone Structures.”
Hangar 1 Executive Producer Paul Villadolid speaking about the television show.
One of those witnesses who came forward detailed a June 1999 Alabama case after meeting Alabama State Director Rich Hoffman.
“He asked that I report this case, despite it having happened so long ago,” the witness stated.
The witness was eight years old in 1999 when he was a backseat passenger in his mother’s vehicle with an older brother riding in the front seat as they moved through Lee County. His mother stopped by a friend’s home along the way, leaving her two children alone in the car for a few minutes.
The silent object was hovering just 30 to 40 feet above the vehicle in the 1999 report from Lee County, Alabama, recently reported to MUFON. Pictured: Lee County, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
“It was a very rural, wooded neighborhood not far from Phenix City or Crawford. She went inside for a very short time, leaving my older brother in the front seat and myself in the back seat, right side, next to the window, in the car.”
While he was waiting, the witness looked out the side window.
“I saw a lead grey, slightly reflective disk hovering about 30-40 feet over and to the right of our car. It made absolutely no sound and made no action that would have given it away.”
The witness said that had he not looked in that direction, he would not have seen the object because there was no sound.
The witness was so terrified by the events from 1999, that he kept the account to himself and just recently reported the incident to MUFON. Pictured: Lee County, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
“The disk hovered, rotating slightly, while I watched it for about 60 seconds. Then, it shot off into the sky and out of sight, making a slight sound.”
The sound was very odd.
“The sound itself is hard to explain, a bit like the swishing displacement of air and a bit like a humming/pulsing sound. The sight of the saucer terrified me and I never asked my older brother if he saw it too.”
The event caused so much fear in the witness that he kept the sighting to himself.

“So deeply rooted was my fear that I kept it to myself for all of my adolescent life and refused to believe in the reality of the UFO phenomenon. However, my denial couldn’t make me forget. But it was not until my second sighting nine years later that I began to seriously start researching the subject and come to terms with my experience.”
Lee County, Alabama, has a population of 140,247.
Many other witnesses came forward to a variety of MUFON members and speakers detailing their personal UFO experiences. Some of those stories will be told here in the future.
In 1952 shortly after a spectacular series of confrontations between US Air Force Jet interceptors and unidentified radar targets over White House air space, US Army General Samford, head of intelligence fielded questions by the US press corps along with Air Force General Roger Ramey. In a key point made by General Samford he stated that no known project on earth was responsible for the appearance of the UFO phenomenon. He also acknowledged that a certain number of sightings were inexplicable through the course of analysis by military interviewers. You might recall General Roger Ramey who accompanied Samford had previously derailed the Roswell crash by labeling it as a weather balloon.
Conspicuously absent
While conducting the largest military press conference since World War II at the Roger Smith Hotel in Washington DC it is interesting to note that Captain Edward Ruppelt, Director of Project Blue Book was conspicuously absent from that affair. As a matter of fact, Ruppelt according to his book, “The Report On UFO’s” released in 1956 describes his frustration in not being able to get sufficient per diem for travel to the crucial public address over the UFO mystery, and was stuck trying to phone in procedure through base operators to no avail. This has caused many critics to allege that Captain Ruppelt was intentionally precluded from participating in the conference. Perhaps his objective point of view and efforts to that effect by high command has hastened the decision to keep him from making any controversial public statements.
Shocking admission within Washington DC
In 1947 Air Force General Nathan F. Twining after reviewing evidence connected with the Roswell crash and having been placed in that geographic location by forensic investigators based upon analysis of records decades later, issued a shocking intelligence estimate to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon. In his evaluation, flying saucers were real, not illusionary, they our performed the best aircraft fielded by the US military, they were generally elliptical in configuration, did not seem to make propulsion sounds though some roaring noises has been detected in some instances, and seemed to have a polished metallic surface according to many observers. Twining, according to Philip J. Corso, in his book, “The Day After Roswell” notes that General Twining seems to marvel at the technical capability of the flying saucer. Once again in his intelligence estimate corroborated years later by General John Samford, there seems to be no secret project capable of producing this kind of mechanism on earth.
Prevailing opinion in hush hush
So, very early in the annals of military intelligence ranks there seems to be a consistent consensus that the origin of the UFO or Flying Saucer seems to be extraterrestrial. Captain Edward Ruppelt commented more than once during the course of his book, “The Report On UFO’s” that it was an unspoken opinion by many high ranking officers in the armed services aware of the flying saucer mystery that indeed there was no other explanation. They were from somewhere else not here. Though this alone may have sent shockwaves through the channels of command still conventional considerations had to be considered. The Soviets could use the American public’s fascination with UFO’s to concoct a campaign of confusion during a first strike scenario. This consideration was taken into account even though no definite indications of hostile intentions or threats to national security by the phenomenon itself had been detected.
A question of official admission
Let us consider as well in 1952, aside from the Director of the CIA, Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoeter, who would later make a shocking admission to the New York Times newspaper in 1960 that the public had been misled over the reality of UFO’s, General John Samford was the highest ranking expert on military intelligence. His admission that UFO’s in some cases were unexplained and not considered a threat is given weight by his rank and the corroborations of his colleagues, General Twining and others.
Dissemination
It is to be expected that the US military intelligence corps would be working on several levels in order to mitigate the UFO problem. They would want to analyze the technical capabilities. Writer, the late John A. Keel in his book “Operation Trojan Horse” had discovered an early CIA memorandum speculating that flying saucers used some form of electro-magnetic propulsion early on. That UFO’s would have to be dismissed and demystified as hoaxes and misperceptions in the eyes of the US public would be another angle to be covered. Yet, within the internal ranks of the armed services a compartmentalized approach to the flying saucer problem would need to be addressed. Those on a need to know basis, would have to be informed when necessary under strict parameters of internal secrecy.
Majestic 12
These protocols were allegedly addressed by the infamous MJ-12 panel, a carefully selected group of scientific and military command specialists who would preside over the UFO problem and come up with answers over how to manage the release of information or to withhold knowledge from the general public when necessary. An ongoing counter intelligence corps operation would constantly accompany the illusive UFO through-out the decades to come. Yet, in light of this constant disinformation feed came the brilliant work of Philip J. Corso’s superior, General Arthur Trudeau. General Trudeau saw to it that the sequestered Roswell “artifacts” as they were referred to in the military were cunningly handed off to US defense contractors as captured foreign technology that required back engineering. According to Corso, our rapid technological ascent over recent decades has been largely due to the technical revelations gleaned from the Roswell crash debris.
Maintaining the veil of secrecy
In all this, not only did the US military craftily hide the existence of several purported UFO crashes, but in the meantime ridiculed reports in the eyes of the public, sometimes even victimizing their own aviators and witnesses in the process. The case of Bob Lazar is a classic example of counter intelligence corps work. Lazar was quickly marginalized in the eyes of the public after the incredible revelations he divulged form his work as a contractor at Area 51. Lazar alleged that not only had he worked on the project to back engineer alien space craft, but described the procedures, and how he was introduced to the project. Bob Lazar even revealed specific dates and times to friends as he escorted them to vantage points where they would see actual flight testing of these alien ships.
The saga of Bob Lazar
Bob Lazar was quickly removed from the project and marginalized once it was discovered he had violated his clearance level. Once again military intelligence procedures were used to erase Lazar’s employment records, educational background, and proof of connections with the project he had participated in at Area 51 on the S-4 section. A federal judge commented upon presiding over his case against the US government that it was incredible how little of Lazar’s background could be found. Bob did produce a DOD pay stub as evidence though virtually his entire history had been scrubbed for all intents and purposes.
In part II we will delve further into the equally mysterious world of military intelligence used to dismiss the UFO phenomena and those proponents who want to divulge the sacred knowledge to the general public.

“Return to Hangar” Former Megadeath drummer Nick Menza says “I was standing in my front yard with my two boys and this what we saw. not sure what it is but it’s totally awesome!”
Nick Menza is an American drummer best known for his work in Megadeth from 1989 to 1998, appearing on five of the band’s studio albums.
As the son of jazz musician Don Menza, Nick began playing drums at the age of two, at which age he performed at his first public concert when during the intermission someone sat him down on Jack DeJohnette’s drums and he proceeded to play. His influences stem from being nurtured around the tutelage of such notables as Buddy Rich, Steve Gadd, Nick Ceroli, Jeff Porcaro and Louie Bellson.

Beginning his professional musical career at the age of 18 drumming in the band Rhoads featuring singer Kelle Rhoads, brother of the late Randy Rhoads, Nick released his first record with Rhoads called Into The Future in Europe.
Seattle attorney Andrew Basiago has been publicly making the claim since 2004 that between the ages of seven and twelve years old he participated in a secret U.S. government program that worked on teleportation and time travel under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency called Project Pegasus, a precursor to the Montauk Project and the Philadelphia Experiment.
He claims to have traveled to Ford’s Theatre the night of President Lincoln’s assassination five or six times, and was captured in a photograph at Gettysburg in 1863
.
Though Basiago claims to have experienced eight different time travel technologies, most travel involved a teleporter based on technical papers supposedly found in pioneering mechanical engineer Nikola Tesla’s New York City apartment after his death in January 1943. The teleporter “consisted of two gray elliptical booms about eight feet tall, separated by about 10 feet, between which a shimmering curtain of what Tesla called ‘radiant energy’ was broadcast,” Basiago says. “Radiant energy is a form of energy that Tesla discovered that is latent and pervasive in the universe and has among its properties the capacity to bend time-space.”
Basiago said each of his visits to the past was different, “like they were sending us to slightly different alternative realities on adjacent timelines. As these visits began to accumulate, I twice ran into myself during two different visits.”
Being sent back in time to the same place and moment, but from different starting points in the present, allowed two of himselves to be in Ford’s Theatre at the same time in 1865.
“After the first of these two encounters with myself occurred, I was concerned that my cover might be blown,” he recalled. “Unlike the jump to Gettysburg, in which I was clutching a letter to Navy Secretary Gideon Welles to offer me aid and assistance in the event I was arrested, I didn’t have any explanatory materials when I was sent to Ford’s Theatre.”
Basiago’s claims are supported by Alfred Webre, a lawyer specializing in “exopolitics,” or the political implications surrounding an extraterrestrial presence on Earth. Webre says teleportation and time travel have been around for 40 years, but are hoarded by the Defense Department instead of being used to transfer goods and services.
Hopi-mythologie: de komst van de blauwe ster Kachina en 'vliegende schilden'
Hopi-mythologie: de komst van de blauwe ster Kachina en ‘vliegende schilden’
De Hopituh Shi-nu-mu (Hopi) vormen een indianenvolk in het vierstatenpunt in het noordoosten van Arizona. Ze stammen af van de Pueblo-indianen en wonen middenin het reservaat van de Navajo. Er zijn ongeveer 18.000 Hopi verdeeld over 11 autonome dorpen.
Eén van de groepen Pueblo-indianen, de Anasazi, leefde tussen 550 en 1300 in het gebied en verdween op mysterieuze wijze. De Hopi vormen één van de oudste culturen ter wereld. Hun oorspronkelijke naam, Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, betekent het ‘vredige volk’. Hopi betekent ‘goed, vreedzaam en wijs’. Ze leven volgens de wetten van de Schepper, Maasaw. De Hopi geloven dat de goden uit de grond kwamen, in tegenstelling tot andere mythologieën waarbij goden uit de lucht kwamen.
De Hopi geloven in een eeuwige cyclus van schepping en vernietiging. Hierdoor worden er onophoudelijk werelden geschapen en vernietigd. De eerste wereld werd vernietigd door vuur, de tweede door vorst en de derde door een zondvloed. Wij leven in de vierde wereld, deze wereld zou vol met pijn, leed en erg hard zijn.
De Hopi overleefden de vernietiging van de derde wereld door zich ondergronds terug te trekken. Ze deden dat door het teken van Maasaw aan de hemel te volgen. Dit zal nog tweemaal gebeuren, maar alleen zij met een puur hart kunnen deze plek betreden. Toen Maasaw landde maakte hij een petroglief van een vrouw aan boord van een ‘schip zonder vleugels’. Op de dag van de zuivering zouden de ware Hopi aan boord van deze schepen zonder vleugels naar andere planeten vliegen.
Ondergronds leven de miermensen, zij worden beschreven als bleek met grote hoofden en zwarte ogen. Ze hebben kleine lichaampjes, met dunne armen en soms zes vingers. De miermensen tonen verbazend veel overeenkomst met de Greys uit moderne ontvoeringsverhalen, ufologie en de popcultuur.
De Hopi spreken ook over vliegende schilden (patuwvotas), die in staat waren om steden aan te vallen en grote afstanden konden overbruggen. Er zijn veel overeenkomsten tussen deze schilden en moderne stealthvliegtuigen of vliegende schotels.
De blauwe ster Kachina is binnen de Hopi-mythologie een geest die de komst van het begin van de nieuwe wereld markeert. Deze geest zou verschijnen in de vorm van een blauwe ster. Dat is het negende en laatste teken voor de ‘dag van de zuivering’, waarop de oude wereld wordt vernietigd en een nieuwe ontstaat. De negen tekenen zijn in 1958 opgesomd door een Hopi-oudste.

NASA test 'vliegende schotel' voor Marsmissie - HLN
Een voertuig van NASA is na een geslaagde test in de Grote Oceaan bij Hawaï gestort. Wetenschappers die bij het experiment betrokken waren, hopen zowel het voertuig als bijbehorende parachute in de toekomst te gebruiken voor Marsmissies.
Het schotelvormige voertuig, de Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD), bereikte een hoogte van 55 kilometer. Op die hoogte is de atmosfeer vergelijkbaar met de omgeving op Mars. Belangstellenden konden het traject van het object dankzij videocamera's aan boord live volgen.
Drie uur na de lancering landde het testvoertuig intact in de oceaan, dankzij een parachute met een diameter van 33 meter. Dat is twee keer zo groot als de parachute die in 2011 werd gebruikt bij de Marsmissie met de Curiosity.
Het experiment kostte 150 miljoen dollar en was vanwege harde wind al zes keer uitgesteld. NASA is van plan de test nog een aantal keer te herhalen en besluit daarna of het voertuig daadwerkelijk naar Mars zal worden gestuurd.
New Q&A with Nick Redfern on “Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind: Suspicious Deaths, Mysterious Murders, and Bizarre Disappearances in UFO History” due out June 23rd from New Page Books.
1. Can you tell us about the suspicious deaths that surround the Roswell UFO crash of July 1947?
ANSWER: In the book I talk about the suicides and early deaths of a number of people involved in the Roswell case. They were deaths that extended from 1947 to the 1980s, and included one of the sons of rancher Mack Brazel (who found the strange debris in Lincoln County, New Mexico), and a woman named Miriam Bush, who was found dead in a hotel room in 1989. She was the executive secretary at the Roswell base hospital back in 1947 and confided in her family that she saw small, strange bodies brought into the hospital in the summer of 1947.
2. What is the truth behind the deaths of two military personnel involved in the recovery of alleged UFO debris at Maury Island, Washington State in 1947?
ANSWER: The Maury Island case is a very weird one. It focuses on the alleged mid-air explosion of a flying saucer over Maury Island in June 1947. Harold Dahl, the man who recovered some of the debris that rained down, was threatened by a Man in Black. Two military investigators, 1st Lt. Frank Mercer Brown and Capt. William Lee Davidson, were killed when their aircraft – carrying the debris to Wright Field for analysis – crashed. Two local media men died in the wake of the affair too: Ted Morello and Paul Lance. Extensive files on the case have surfaced from the FBI, via the Freedom of Information Act.
3. Were aliens responsible for the death of National Guard Captain Thomas Mantell in 1948?
ANSWER: This is an incident that has very much polarized the UFO research community, in terms of what actually happened, to the point where it still remains unresolved in the minds of many. It’s the strange saga of pilot Capt. Thomas P. Mantell, who lost his life in 1948 while chasing a UFO high in the skies of Kentucky. Or while pursuing a balloon or Venus. Take your pick. The theories are several. The answers, however, are still debated and disputed. But, for many people in Ufology, the Mantell death is perceived as an early example of death by UFO.
4. Will you discuss the theories that the reported suicide of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal in 1949 was actually a case of murder presumably to prevent him revealing the truth about UFOs?
ANSWER: It was at 1.50 a.m. on May 22, 1949 that the life of one of the most significant figures in the history of the U.S. Government came to a crashing end. The battered body of James Forrestal, who had the honor of being the first United States Secretary of Defense, was found lying on a third-floor canopy of the Maryland-based Bethesda Naval Hospital. Forrestal had reportedly flung himself out of a window on the 16th floor. Forrestal’s death, some UFO researchers have said, might have been nothing less than a case of cold-hearted murder, something prompted by fears that the Secretary of Defense was on the verge of revealing to the world what he secretly knew about the UFO phenomenon.
5. Please tell us about the spate of mysterious UFO-connected deaths involving pilots in 1953.
ANSWER: Around 9.30 a.m. on November 10, 1953, Karl Hunrath and Wilbur Wilkinson – both UFO investigators – hired a small airplane and took to the skies of Los Angeles, supposedly to meet with extraterrestrials at a prearranged site. It was the last time either man was seen alive. It was the last time the aircraft was seen, too. Less than two weeks after Hunrath and Wilkinson went missing, two baffling and deadly events occurred in Wisconsin. They both involving military jets, one of which crashed and the other vanished, never to be seen again – and both on the same day. Both events have been linked to the alleged deadly actions of UFOs.
6. Was author/researcher Morris Jessup murdered in 1959 as a result of his UFO investigations?
ANSWER: In 1959, one of the most controversial of all UFO-related deaths occurred: that of flying saucer investigator and author Morris K. Jessup. While the official story is that Jessup’s death was suicide (he was found dead in his car in a Florida park), ufologists have said there are solid grounds for believing that it was far more than that – nothing less than a case of full-blown murder. The reason: to keep Jessup away from certain UFO secrets that powerful players wanted kept hidden.
7. What are the connections between the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the UFO controversy?
ANSWER: Without doubt the most sensational story in the book that suggests a link between a suspicious death and flying saucers is that of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated on November 22, 1963 at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. As incredible as it may sound, the JFK killing is absolutely littered with spies, spooks and secret agents who were deeply linked to the UFO phenomenon, one of them being a man named Fred Crisman, a mysterious character who was also involved in the Maury Island controversy. Was the president shot to prevent him from going public about what he knew of alien visitations? Don’t bet against it, as incredible as such a possibility may admittedly sound.
8. How and why did a British man named Edward Bryant die in 1967 after encountering a UFO and its crew?
ANSWER: In April 1965, Edward Bryant claimed to have encountered a flying saucer hovering, at very low level, over a field near his home in Devon, England. He was reportedly confronted by a trio of humanoid beings, dressed in head-gear and silver outfits somewhat akin to those worn by deep-sea divers, and that were standing around the significantly-sized saucer. There are strong indications that Bryant’s experience was actually the result of a military psy-op, involving microwave technology that led Bryant to develop a brain tumor that ultimately killed him.
9. Is it true that people have been mutilated and killed by aliens in similar fashion to the so-called cattle mutilations?
ANSWER: One of the most graphically nightmarish accounts that falls into the human mutilation category came from the late Leonard Stringfield. Stringfield’s source for the story was a high-ranking military officer who described a shocking event that reportedly occurred in Cambodia during the Vietnam War. It was in April 1972 when a violent and grisly confrontation with a group of extraterrestrials that can best, and accurately, be called cosmic butchers took place. They were confronted loading human body-parts into huge bins. There are many more such reports on file.
10. What really happened to missing Australian pilot Frederick Valentich in 1978?
ANSWER: Eerily paralleling the November 1953 affair of Karl Hunrath and Wilbur Wilkinson, in October 1978 a young Australian pilot named Frederick Valentich disappeared over Australia’s Bass Strait. That Valentich vanished shortly after seeing a UFO at extremely close quarters has given rise to the theory that he was the victim of nothing less than a cosmic kidnapping. A fascinating, official file, now in the public domain, tells the story of this still-unsolved case.
Entity Description: About 1 metre in height, they were wearing a sort of grey overall, all in one piece, including the feet. On their backs they had short cloaks of a grey material, and over the one-piece overall they wore a sort of doublet, fastened, right up to the collar, with little buttons “like shining stars.” Their trousers were tightly-fitting, “like the long underpants that our men wear in the winter.”
Their faces, crowned by helmets, were normal, but small. Both were no taller than a five-year-old infant, but their bodies were in proportion. “It would have taken two of those things to make a man,” she said, “but they were very fine looking, even though rather old.”
Hynek Classification: CE3
Duration:
No. of Object(s): 1
Size of Object(s):
Distance to Object(s):
Shape of Object(s): A sort of double cone, over 2 metres high and about a metre wide in the middle.
Color of Object(s): The outside of it shone as though it was of very polished light metal. On the lower cone there was an open glass door, and inside it could be seen two little seats, little scats like those used by children. In the central part of the spindle, where it was widest, there was a sort of roundish glass, closely following the round shape of the mysterious machine. Rosa Lotti had heard no sound from it.”
Number of Witnesses: Multiple
Special Features/Characteristics: Humanoid/Occupant, Landing, Physical Trace
Source: Sergio Conti, excerpt from FSR (Sept/Oct 1972)
Summary/Description: Rosa Lotti was walking into Cennina, when she perceived a big vertical spindle, “like 2 cones joined at their bases.” From behind this craft emerged two little men 3 ft tall, who approached her with friendly expressions, the older one laughing. They were speaking a language that sounded like Chinese, ‘liu, lai, loi.” Approaching Lotti, they snatched from her the carnations and one of her stockings. Lotti ran away. A deep hole in the ground was later found at the site.
A large crop circle has appeared overnight in the South West England county of Dorset. Although the Daily Mail is reporting it to be the first for the 2014 season, there have actually been dozens of crop circles reported this summer, according to the Crop Circle Connector website. Either way, the crop circle in Dorset is certainly one of the most spectacular.
The formation in Dorset was filmed by amateur pilot and crop circle enthusiast Mathew Williams. He told the Daily Mail, “Whoever, or whatever, created the shape must have been there all night – you have to really admire their handiwork.”

The pattern in Dorset was laid down in a field of wheat, which is the most common crop the formations made in July are found in. This is the month when wheat is harvested. Veteran crop circle maker John Lundberg told the BBC, “[Wheat is] the best crop to work in, that’s when the most spectacular circles appear. Because each stem is upright, you can get pin sharp clarity.”
The Dorset pattern is over 400 feet long, and is made up of a star pattern with circles within circles.
Williams says, “Last summer we didn’t get many circles, but this beauty certainly makes up for that.”
Williams says the decrease in the number of crop circles being made is due to farmers getting more and more frustrated by the loss of crops and the tourist who come to visit the circles. Williams says many of the great crop circle makers are afraid of getting fined, and have thus stopped making the circles.
Thus far, Williams himself is the only crop circle maker to ever get fined. He was fined £100 after being busted for creating a crop circle in 2000. He has since stopped making crop circles, not because of fines, but because he has developed hay fever.
Last year many of the crop circles that did appear were of low quality, garnering the moniker “crap circles.” Perusing the crop circles from this year it seems the crap circles have returned.

Although it is obvious many of the crop circles are created by human beings, awe inspiring formations, like the one in Dorset, cause people to wonder if perhaps some of them are created by extraterrestrials or have some other paranormal origins.
Last year, Williams told the Daily Express that he has had paranormal experiences out in the fields while making crop circles.
Williams said, “I’ve seen small balls of light which have entered the field and chased us out on one occasion. I’ve seen them passing overhead. On two occasions we’ve also seen black, shadowy figures. Not as clear as a person, a little more rounded but a human shape. There are so many things like that. When teams of people go out into the fields and make large talismanic magical symbols, somehow that does actually have some effect on physical reality and strange things happen.”
According to Williams, he is not the only one who experiences paranormal activity out in the field. He says all of the crop circle teams he is aware of have had similar experiences.
We were at work on 6th floor of outside pool deck checking pool operation at 9:30pm. We noticed a large light about 1-2 miles out at sea not moving and looking down at the water. Light was stationary and not moving. Light started to move towards us cause we could tell the light was getting bigger. The object started to turn right cause the light started to turn right. At first we thought it was a coast guard helicopter because the station is at the Brigatine inlet where we work at the Revel casino.
The coast guard are always do minuvers and rescue training. We still did not hear any noise at all. As the object approached the large light went out about 1/4 mile from us. The object passes over head and was like a wedge shape, almost triangle but not. There was a small blue light at each tip on the under side but nothing up front. The object passed over and as it passed buy we heard a slight noise like someone putting their finger to their mouth and telling you to ssshhhhhhh. The width of the object was about the same size as a commercial plane.
If the object kept its same course as it flew over it was headed right towards the atlantic city airport and the air force nafac air base where the F-16 fighter jets are that patrol the east coast. We lost sight of the object because the casino tower where the rooms are blocked our view. We ran over to the side of the building but were still obstructed by the tower. From the first sighting of the light out in the ocean we were very curious because it made no noise and the light on the front of it lit up the ocean like when the moon first rises above the water. After seeing the object we just kept commenting to each other how cool it was and wished we could have seen it again and closer.

This case is under investigation by Chief Investigator Ken Pfeifer of MUFON New Jersey.
Amazing UFO sighting over West Kelowna, Canada on 17th July 2014
Amazing UFO sighting over West Kelowna, Canada on 17th July 2014
New amazing video footage of a bright UFO recorded in the daytime sky above West Kelowna, Canada on 17th July 2014.
Witness said: Shot out from the clouds above the mountain during a forest fire near our neighbourhood. It pulled a wisp of cloud with it as it exited. A forest fire broke out on the mountain behind us and during the attempt to put it out, this event took place. I was watching a video online of the fire from a little earlier in the day and i spotted the UFO 37 seconds into the video. I have no idea whether anyone else has noticed this or not. Most folks would be focused on the fire.
37 seconds into the video the UFO comes shooting out from a cloud right above the mountain and passes through a clear spot back into the next cloud. I was quite startled and surprised when i saw it.
The UFO left a thin trail of cloud vaper as it exited the cloud. This, to me, eliminates any thought that this might be a camera lens artifact or light phenomenon effect. The event lasted only a couple seconds. Judging by the distance i was from the object it had to have been moving very fast. The scene cuts away while the UFO is still visible. I’m left to assume that there must be more footage of it than i saw. I phoned the website’s news department to ask if it would be possible to see the full footage, but was met with disapproval. In retrospect, perhaps i shouldn’t have mentioned the word UFO. (lol)
Les aliens préfèrent se montrer à l’heure où les gens sont un peu éméchés, selon les données du National UFO Reporting Center, organisation qui a répertorié 90 000 apparitions rapportées d’ovnis depuis 1974. Celles-ci sont particulièrement fréquentes dans l’Etat de Washington et dans d’autres Etats proches de la frontière canadienne, où les aurores boréales sont parfois visibles. “Les ovnis ont tendance à éviter les grandes villes, où il y a beaucoup d’autres sources de lumière, et les heures de jour, où les gens pourraient les confondre avec de simples avions”, s’amuse The Economist.
UFO mania: NASA RECEIVES RADIO SIGNALS FROM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH?
UFO mania: NASA RECEIVES RADIO SIGNALS FROM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH?
NASA has received radio signals from the center of the earth. These signals are being picked up by tracking satellites. NASA has decoded them but won't reveal the contents. The source of this information leak states that, "They obviously know more about us than we do about them. For one thing, they have found a way to communicate with us on a regular basis, but we have little or no inkling on how to communicate with them in return."

ALIEN CRAFT SPOTTED ENTERING THE WATER IN LAKE ONTARIO
ALIEN CRAFT SPOTTED ENTERING THE WATER IN LAKE ONTARIO
ALIEN CRAFT SPOTTED ENTERING THE WATER IN LAKE ONTARIO
In late August of 1981, between five and six pm, three men and two women were driving west from a mountain area slightly east of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and south of Lake Ontario. The weather was clear and sunny. At a point, roughly half way through Hamilton, one of the occupants in the car saw a strange craft through the window of the car, and by their exclamation, alerted the others in the car to the sight. The craft was a red-orange, domed saucer shaped object, which appeared solid, with many yellow lights radiating from the base or bottom. In answer to the question of size, she (the witness of this report) answered that the diameter would be roughly 3-4 car lengths, and 3 car heights for the height of craft (also a rough guess). Her closing remark on this was “Not a small craft”. Indeed it wasn’t, as I measured two cars belonging to family members that are of “medium size”. They average out to 15’ 7” in length and 4’ 6” in height. This would put the UFO in the area of 46’ 9” to 62’ 4” in diameter and 13’ 6” in height. Slightly smaller than the B‑25 Mitchell bomber of WW2 … “Not a small craft !!!” Its speed and altitude could only be expressed as that of an aircraft on approach for a landing near an airport. It was on a course roughly parallel to theirs. Due to the curving road it was first sighted to their right (north) and then over them and then to the left. Its course was roughly north-northwest. While driving the radio had been on and, while in the vicinity of the object, was now getting static (EM effects), which the driver turned it off to avoid further distraction. Someone in the car at this point had said, “Follow that UFO”. All being in agreement, they did precisely that. Although the road had many curves, the craft was seen to move in a straight line towards Hamilton Harbour. As it approached the Harbour, it appeared to slow down, and then angle itself downward and gently entered the water. At the point of entry (rough approximation), it can be seen on the nautical chart that the water depth at this point is 7 or more meters (23 feet) and gets deeper in the direction of Lake Ontario, so the UFO had at least 10 feet to spare. Therefore a craft of 13 feet in height could be covered by water. There are many cases of UFOs submerging in shallow waters. The witness reporting this case states that the UFO had passed them and was at a distance away when it entered the Harbour, and does not recall any major disturbance of the water as it went in. After it had entered the water the group lost sight of the area for a period, due to the topography. Overcome with curiosity, the group went to the waterfront to see what they could. From a city map of Hamilton, the distance from the “mountain” area and the waterfront is roughly 12 km or 7.45 Statute miles, and could have been reached quickly. They remained in the area for approximately seven hours, wondering if the UFO would surface, whether any aircraft would attempt a search of the area, and delving into various possibilities of the event. Between 12:20 and 1:00 am, two objects were seen to partially emerge and remained in that position through the point that the group finally left. The question of these two objects being submarines came up and has been done away with, as information from the Canadian Navy states that it does not use the few subs they have in any of the Great Lakes. Another possibility regarding the emerging objects might be the tide going out and revealing some fixed underwater object. This portion of the sighting is the most speculative and should not detract from the sighting of the craft and its actions.
Between 0:35 and 0:39 of this video, watch the man in the black suit and sunglasses, then rewatch the clip but pay particular attention to his reflection.
MH17 conspiracy theories: What happened to downed Malaysia Airlines plane?
Whenever there is a tragedy on such a scale as the downed Malaysia Airlines MH17 plane, there are bound to be conspiracy theories that follow as the world tries to understand and deal with the tragedy.
While there’s no doubt many are based simply on paranoia or speculation, they won’t be able to be dismissed until the black box is recovered and the world gets answers.
Here are six conspiracy theories about MH17, according to the Washington Post.
1. It was an HIV/AIDS cover up
The terrible news that the plane held prominent HIV/AIDS researchers sparked speculation that it was not a random target. One theory proposed that the attack was a cover-up for the so-called “man-made origins” of AIDS – which is another theory in itself. It has been pointed out that 16 years ago, AIDS patient advocate and World Health official Jonathan Mann was also killed in a plane crash that some still find suspicious.
2. It was an attempt to start WWIII
While it’s not yet clear exactly why the missile was fired at the plane, some believe it was an attempt to bring on the next world war.
“We can clearly see an attempted false flag to launch WWIII unfolding,” a commenter said on the website Before Its News. They also pointed to a Russian tweet predicting the deliberate downing of a plane full of people, as an instigation of a NATO invasion.
Translation: “Soon will be shot down over the ruins of the liner packed full of innocent Euro-tourists. It will be the occasion for the official invitation to NATO. So I see.”
Though this theory doesn’t make sense, as killing innocent people is not a very stratigic move for NATO.
3. It was an assasination attempt on Putin
Russia’s Interfax news agency claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was on board his personal jet and flying on the exact same route as MH17 at the same time. His plane was the same size and colour as the Malaysia Airlines flight.
The claim was debunked with the news that Putin’s plane hadn’t flown over the Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict.
4. The jet wasn’t actually shot down
A conspiracy blogger who’s popular on YouTube called DAHB0077 proposed that the plane was actually diverted into the area where it was blown up by explosives from onboard so it could appear to have been shot down. This could then be an excuse for an invasion.
He claims his suspicion was born from footage showing the plane exploding on the ground instead of in the air, but experts say this is actually possible upon the event of a mile-high missile strike.
5. MH17 is MH370
They’re both Boeing 777s, from the same airline, with a commenter from the forum Above Top Secret stating: “It could be the MH370 rigged with explosives” that has only just reappeared after vanishing for months. Why would they do this? To start WWIII.
6. Many were already dead before the plane took off
This bizarre theory comes from a top pro-Russian rebel commander in eastern Ukraine.
The pro-rebel website Russkaya Vesna quoted Igor Girkin as saying he was told by people at the crash site that “a significant number of the bodies weren’t fresh,” adding that he was told they were drained of blood and reeked of decomposition.
Ultimately, these theories wont’ be true, but the hunt for answers about what really happened to flight MH17 will continue. – news.au.com
Thousands of women, accused of sorcery, tortured and executed in Indian witch hunts
If it began like the others, the first sign that Saraswati Devi would be murdered was an accusation delivered to a shaman. Perhaps she had offended someone. Perhaps someone had fallen sick and had wondered why. Perhaps a community well had suddenly dried and someone needed blaming. Perhaps they chose her because Devi was lower caste, because she was a woman, and because they’d probably get away with it.
The killers came for her on Saturday. Two of her sons tried to save her, but couldn’t and were beaten. Their punishment wouldn’t match Devi’s. Before the 14 villagers inflicted injuries so severe they would claim her life, they “forced her to consume human excreta,” police told the Hindustan Times.
Though shocking by nearly any standard, the murder was not unique. It was not even uncommon in pockets of rural India.
In places where superstition and vigilantism overlap and small rumors can turn deadly, nearly 2,100 people accused of witchcraft have been killed between 2000 and 2012, according to crime records gathered by the Indian newspaper Mint. Others placed the number at 2,500; others higher still. “Like the proverbial tip of a very deep iceberg, available data hides much of the reality of a problem that is deeply ingrained in society,” according to New Delhi-based Partners for Law in Development. “It is only the most gruesome cases that are reported — most cases of witch-hunting go unreported and unrecorded.”
Chhutni Mahatani recalls the incidents that led to her being named a witch at her home near Bholadi village in the eastern Indian state of Bihar in June of 2000. In 1995, Mahatani was tortured by her brother-in-law after a child fell ill in her village. (Saurabh Das/AP) It’s an issue that despite its prevalence is rarely covered outside of India, where it’s almost weekly newspaper fodder. Last week in Chandrapur, one man was lynched and his “woman accomplice thrashed by a mob for practicing black magic,” reported the Times of India, which said the man “was caught red-handed by the mob of over 500 villagers.” Another woman accused of witchcraft was grabbed by relatives carrying “traditional weapons” and beaten to death. Late last year, in Jharkhand, a 50-year-old woman and her daughter were hacked to death after they were accused of practicing witchcraft.
The forces driving the killings, which occur predominantly in Indian states with large tribal populations, are as much cultural as they are economic and caste-based, experts said. While the easiest explanation is that angered mobs confuse a sudden illness or crop failure with witchcraft and exact their revenge, it’s rarely that simple. Much more often, it isn’t superstition but gender and class discrimination. Those accused of sorcery often come from similar backgrounds: female, poor and of a low caste.
“Witch-hunting is essentially a legacy of violence against women in our society,” wrote Rakesh Singh of the Indian Social Institute. “For almost invariably, it is [low caste] women, who are branded as witches. By punishing those who are seen as vile and wild, oppressors perhaps want to send a not-so-subtle message to women: docility and domesticity get rewarded; anything else gets punished.”
The veil of superstition, others said, only hides the true motive behind the killings. “Superstition is only an excuse,” Pooja Singhal Purwar, a social welfare official, told The Washington Post’s Rama Lakshmi in 2005. “Often a woman is branded a witch so that you can throw her out of the village and grab her land, or to settle scores, family rivalry, or because powerful men want to punish her for spurning their sexual advances. Sometimes, it is used to punish women who question social norms.”
If there is a state most susceptible to witchcraft killings, it’s the eastern state of Jharkhand, a land pervaded by dense forest and tribes. In 2013, 54 witchcraft-accused women were killed there, reported the News Minute, the highest rate in the country. Despite local legislation to try and clamp down on the murders – no national law exists that addresses witchcraft killings – they have continued if not increased. And patterns there are worth examining to understand how the horror unfolds.
According to Mint, an Indian publication which has written extensively on the subject, a witch is identified through various methods. The person who suspects witchcraft will often consult a witch doctor called an “ojha.” The witch doctor, who uses medicinal herbs, in part learned their skills to counter the darker powers of the witches, called “daayan.”
The ojha then goes about the business of sussing out the witch. This involves incantations, Mint reports, and possibly the branches of a sal tree. The ojha writes the names of all those suspected of witchraft onto the branches of the tree, and the name that’s on the branch that withers is condemned as a witch. Other times, rice is wrapped in cloth emblazoned with names. Then the rice is placed inside a nest of white ants. Whichever bag the ants eat out identifies the witch. Another method: potions. One Indian shaman in 2011 forced 30 women to drink a potion to prove they weren’t witches. The concoction was made out of a poisonous herb, all women fell ill, and the shaman was arrested.
After a witch is chosen, they are either forced to do unspeakable things or tortured. “In many reported cases recently, women who are branded as witches were made to walk naked through the village, were gang-raped, had their breasts cut off, teeth broken or heads tonsured, apart from being ostracized from their village,” reported Live Mint. They “were forced to swallow urine and human feces, to eat human flesh, or drink the blood of a chicken.”
This, too, was the fate of Saraswati Devi, the latest woman, though likely not the last, to be accused of witchcraft, tortured and murdered. – TWP
About 15 years or so ago, my mom and I decided to go for a walk.
A little background–I live in the desert southwest and, at the time, there were few houses in my neighborhood. People were still building and moving in, and it wasn’t uncommon to have streets with very few houses on them.
We went for a walk down the street around dusk. As we were walking and chatting, we notice an old man walking toward us. We nod and say something to the effect of “Good evening” and he does the same. It was a warm, friendly exchange.
He passes us and mom and I kind of give each other a look–This man was shorter than average, in dark shorts with suspenders and a hat with a feather in it. He had buckle shoes and white socks. He looked very out of place. For some reason I turned around, and he was gone. It was an almost empty street with dirt lots. There was nowhere he could have gone.
Mom and I like to joke we saw a leprechaun. Who knows. – Reddit.com
