UFO mania: Alien Base Discovered In NASA Moon Photo on the far side of the moon?

Karl Wolf, an Air Force sergeant who was assigned to the National Security Agency, said that mysterious structures were discovered on the far side of the moon when the United States was mapping its surface before the 1969 lunar landing. Those photos too were culled out of the public record.

Déclaration officieuse sur Roswell

Publié le 25/07/2014

http://ovnis-direct.com/declaration-officieuse-sur-roswell.html#dPUenUuQ

Des  rumeurs au sujet d’un crash d’ovni contenant des corps étrangers ont longtemps été associées au site de l’US Air Force de Wright-Patterson, depuis l'incident de Roswell en 1947.

De nouvelles données ont été ajoutées à ce sujet dans le rapport 58327 du MUFON sur la base de déclarations de témoin et intermédiaire.

Le rapport a été déposé par le petit-fils du témoin féminin qui a reçu l'information de première main au sujet des révélations de 1960 au sujet de Roswell. Ses grands-parents vivaient à Dayton, dans l’Ohio, pendant de nombreuses années, avant 1964.

​

Le témoin a dit en 1960 que les histoires rellatives au supposé crash d'ovni qui s'est écrasé de Roswell étaient vraies. Sur la photo: Wilbur Wright Field et Fairfield Air Depot, c. . 1920 (Crédit: Wikimedia Commons)
 

" Un ami proche a pris sa retraite après avoir servi sur la base de l’US Air Force de Wright Patterson," a déclaré la grand-mère à son petit-fils, comme l’indique le rapport 58327 du MUFON. Il rapporte : " C’était un officier de haut rang. Ma grand-mère, très spirituelle, honnête et franche, lui a demandé s'il était vrai qu’un vaisseau extraterrestre et éventuellement des corps étrangers étaient stockés sur la base. "
 
Le petit-fils indique n’avoir jamais rencontré l’officier en question.

Il raconte que sa grand-mère n’oubliera jamais la manière dont l’homme a répondu à cette question.
 
L’intermédiaire (le petit-fils) précise : "Il a dit à ma grand-mère, « Si le public savait ce qui s’était passé sur la base lors de l'incident de Roswell, il y aurait une panique générale parmi le public. » "
 
La femme n'a pas posé plus de questions.

FO sighting over Swansea, South Wales on 21st July 2014

New interesting UFO sightings photo recorded over Swansea, South Wales on 21st July 2014.

Witness said:
It was very hot in my bedroom so I opened the window and noticed a strange, stationary object hovering above Swansea. The object made no noise and my first notion was perhaps it was an exceptionally large bird of prey however the object remained stationary for at least five minutes. I thought that it was strange and it seemed to have something hanging below it so I grabbed my phone and I took several pictures of it. The whole time the object made no movement and no sound. I must have watched for seven minutes in total.

Grandmother says Wright-Patterson UFO and alien stories are true

(Before It's News)

Tales of crashed UFO parts and alien bodies have been told about Wright-Patterson Air Force Base since the 1949 Roswell incident and now include a secondhand report filed today as Case 58327 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was told in 1960 that the stories of crashed UFO parts from Roswell were true. Pictured: Wilbur Wright Field and Fairfield Air Depot, c. 1920. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

The report was filed by the grandchild of the woman who received the information firsthand in about 1960 who explains that his grandparents lived in Dayton, Ohio, for many years prior to 1964.

“A close friend retired from Wright Patterson Air Force Base,” the reporting witness stated. “He was high ranking. My grandmother, who was the most witty, honest and candid person I’ve ever met asked him if it were true about the alien craft and possibly the alien bodies being stored at the base.”

The witness stated that he will never forget how the man responded as told to him by his grandmother.

“He said, ‘If the public knew what was at the base from the Roswell incident, there would be a general panic amongst the public.’”

The woman did not ask any more questions.

The Sumerian King List Spans for Over 241,000 Years Before a Great Flood

(Before It's News)

Out of the many incredible artefacts that have been recovered from sites in Iraq where flourishing Sumerian cities once stood, few have been more intriguing that the Sumerian King List, an ancient manuscript originally recorded in the Sumerian language, listing kings of Sumer (ancient southern Iraq) from Sumerian and neighbouring dynasties, their supposed reign lengths, and the locations of “official” kingship.  

What makes this artefact so unique is the fact that the list blends apparently mythical pre-dynastic rulers with historical rulers who are known to have existed. The first fragment of this rare and unique text, a 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablet, was found in the early 1900s by German-American scholar Hermann Hilprecht at the site of ancient Nippur and published in 1906.  

Since Hilprecht’s discovery, at least 18 other exemplars of the king’s list have been found, most of them dating from the second half of the Isin dynasty (c. 2017-1794 BCE.). No two of these documents are identical.

The Alien Agenda and Their Underground Bases (+ Video)

(Before It's News)

Deep in north central New Mexico is the sleepy little town of Dulce. Dulce is located on the Archuleta Mesa on the Colorado – New Mexico Border. It is home to about 3000 residents and is the capitol of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. For as small and as insignificant as this remote location may sound, it became the center of controversy in the early 1980′s. Physicist and inventor,

Paul Bennewitz claimed he had discovered an underground base occupied by extraterrestrials near Dulce. His story quickly spread through the UFO community. Allegations that surround the base include human abductions (“alien abductions”) by these extraterrestrial beings. http://humansarefree.com/2014/01/the-alien-agenda-and-their-underground.html

Interview with UFO researcher and author Jacques Vallée

(Before It's News)

Jacques Vallée has held many titles over the years; astronomer, computer scientist, venture capitalist, author, and more. He has researched UFOs for decades and has written several books on the topic. The lead character on the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind was inspired by Vallée. We recently received this interview from Nagib Kary who runs the French UFO website Ovnis-Direct.com. Kary and several associates asked questions of Vallée in February and recently translated the interview into English. Kary has graciously asked Open Minds to re-post their insightful interview.

Questions from Fabrice Bonvin:

Fabrice is a Swiss ufologist, writer, psychologist by training who deals especially with the relation between ufos and ecology and the psychological impact of apparitions on witnesses.

Q1: How do you see ufology and ufological activity in 15-20 years ? What will fundamentally change — or won’t ?

We shouldn’t be surprised if we see an increase in these manifestations as humanity goes on to a new step of systematic exploration of space. But the question should be addressed to the phenomenon itself: It has shown that it was diverse, adaptable and unpredictable. It also showed that it was fundamentally interested in our technological progress and our technical prototypes.

Q2: Who is the thinker, the intellectual or the researcher you admire the most and why?

Maybe you have noticed it while reading Science Interdite: I found a great source of inspiration in Aimé Michel, a remarkable spirit by the strength of his vision and the deep humanity of his intellect. The fact that such a thinker has been ignored and even despised by the intellectual elite in France is not a compliment to our country. However, the limited number of people who have known him have had a great privilege. According to Aimé, Ufos were only a mystery among others. He was a universal thinker.

Q3: What is the current scientific discipline which would be able to benefit ufology and its achievement?

I can think of two disciplines whose application is urgent: computer science of course, with data-mining , and medicine which has never been applied to a  real study of long term effects on witnesses of close encounters. Beyond this, of course, physics must take the subject as an “existence theorem” to understand physical reality in a broader sense.

Aimé Michel

Q4: How are consciousness and Ufos related? What role does consciousness play in Ufo manifestations?

We have seen ufos as classical spaceships for a long time, in accordance with science fiction in the forties and fifties. This interpretation persists, especially in France where recent breakthrough of parapsychology are not well known and where psychic effects reported by witnesses are considered either as evidences of mental weakness or as electromagnetic side effects. Yet, as documentation improves, we find out that the physical aspects of the phenomenon are as negotiable as its psychic effects: it is as if it took control of a given area, including witnesses’ perceptions. It is that aspect that discouraged Aimé Michel.

Q5: Do governments (and especially the USA) hide information about Ufos on the public (according to you and your experience)?

There are two levels to that question: (1) governments (and not only the USA) keep some information they think most sensitive, especially reports which come from the military. It seems that since 1947 this policy has been viewed as legitimate, in the interest of populations and in the hope of discovering technological breakthroughs. (2) The most difficult question is to know if breakthroughs have actually taken place. To my mind, the phenomenon has probably resisted all analysis, classified or not. The issue of opening all the files is going to arise again but it’s not as simple to understand the Ufo phenomenon as to dismantle a MIG or to secretly copy the space shuttle.

Q6: What advice would you give to the ufology community?

I don’t think I have personal advice to give. It is obvious that we won’t make real progress in an environment of petty squabbling. It would be best to avoid accusations that discourage researchers from working together. The phenomenon is accessible at a local level, so the possibility of field study and fast exchange of data is wide open. That would be more useful than speculating on inaccessible, hypothetical secrets in the drawers of governments.

Q7: What are your biggest regrets in your ufological career?

I sometimes wonder whether things would have taken a different course if I had accompanied Allen Hynek to Detroit during the swamp gas case. It was the biggest opportunity to pose the question of the reality of the phenomenon before the American general public and the scientific community. Together with Bill Powers’ advice, we could have presented a realistic and urgent vision of the issue which would have been understood by the media.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge, as the Americans would say. If I look back, it is obvious that professionally speaking, I wasted my time when I came back in France in late 1967. Should I regret it? I wouldn’t have written Passport to Magonia anywhere else than in Paris. Moreover, I wouldn’t have experienced May ’68 on the spot!

Questions about the book Science Interdite, Vol 2 by Ovnis-Direct : P389, answer of the author to Aimé Michel on the origin of Ufos (“Belmont Friday, June 25th 1976”):

Public opinion only has two possible positions toward Ufos: if you manage to take the idea away from people’s mind that there are hallucinations, these same minds are going to draw the conclusion that it is purely and simply about E.T.

Don’t you see that a technology which can create local deformation of space might not be limited to produce Ufos only, but any kinds of other phenomena which would seem miraculous?

Q1: Apart from Ufos, could you tell us what phenomena result from such super technology?

These phenomena are in the literature: reports of poltergeist are documented in the book by captain of gendarmerie Tizané, as well as the famous deformations of metal by psychic means reported by Soviets researchers or by Stanford Research Institute (or, in France, by the material expert Crussard).

Nonlocality allows phenomena described by the French physicist Yves Rocard in his experiments at Ecole Normale Supérieure, as the relativist Olivier Costa de Beauregard had emphasized. It is a pity that this field has been ignored for ideological reasons. Maybe it was marginal in the 70s but it comes back at the center of multiple broad issues.

P406, Aleister Crowley on the Society for psychical research:

All their work brings evidence that there are powers influencing humans. We have always known them: The universe is full of dark and subtle manifestations of energy. But nobody before me has ever managed to prove the outer intelligence to humankind whereas my compilation has. But it is impossible to doubt that there is someone there, someone who is able to organize events the same way Napoléon conceived his battle plans, with an extent of unthinkable powers through which he can control the actions of the people he has chosen to play a role in the implementation of his purposes.

Aleister Crowley

Q2: The publications made by people who belong to the Esoteric Hermetic  Movement like Aleister Crowley, Facius Cardan, John Dee and others you name. Do they influence in any way your research leading to the hypothesis of the control system?

Definitely: before the development of science as we know it, many lonely researchers or members of small groups asked the same questions as we did. Facius Cardan’s father was a great mathematician, John Dee was a scholar who was instrumental to the science of navigation; others were chemists, alchemists or astronomers. They wondered whether there was a general balance of the world that will give meaning to human life and the phenomena which surround us.

Q3: According to you, what were the triggers of the spiritual revolution in the 70s in the USA?

A new generation became aware of the limitations of western culture and they revolted against religious, social, political and artistic prohibitions in the world of their parents, who often emerged mentally exhausted and culturally impoverished from the Second World War. In that environment, it was normal that spiritual exploration went off in all directions and was used by certain sects. I observed this phenomenon in the USA but it existed in France and England as well, although it was less visible but quite powerful: look at the Solar Temple.

Q4: We can see through your last book your reluctance before certain techniques such as meditation through substances. A serious ufologist who went to Amazonia spoke of the efficiency of methods used by shamans (using ayahuasca) to reach other plans of reality. They are even described as “technicians of consciousness.” What do you think about it?

In terms of field of research, all these explorations are useful and valuable: current science asks the question of the nature of  reality both  on a physical basis (quanta, nonlocality etc) and physiological (information processing by the mind, discovery of  hidden mechanisms using « functional » MRI etc.)

When I met Terence McKenna I realized during our conversations that our hypotheses on a possible “control system”  converged. But my own research involves a structured calibration of data with calibration of investigation tools, which is not possible when one is transported by the visions of drugs like ayahuasca or simply LSD.

Living in California since 1969, I have seen many experiments derived from these methods, whether they came from South American jungles or simply from drug companies. I understand their usefulness to force some parts of the brain to reveal their function in the construction of reality, but I haven’t learnt anything new or reliable for my own work.

P427 – The author’s quotation:

• The Ufo phenomenon looks like a kaleidoscope which has three separate levels: a physical and technologic level; a sociologic level; and finally a personal level, subliminal, which plays with subtle shades of human psyche.

The first aspects seem to show evidence of extraterrestrial origins; the second one would be within the competence of human mythology and anthropology, if we refer to the societal dimension only: this is the explanation which meets with the advanced skeptics’ approval, contrary to Menzel and Klass who are content with denying everything outright.

•   The third aspect is the most disconcerting: it suggests clues of a darker manipulation from terrestrial and very material origins.

Q5: Have you achieved new discoveries on the third aspect of the Ufo phenomenon over the last years?

We are faced with this third aspect when we carry on case studies in the field. Everything is happening as if the phenomenon was able to manipulate its environment (including its human environment) in order to hide its real nature. To my mind, the camouflage uses terrestrial elements and it is not simply a bureaucratic “cover-up” as it has naively been believed for a long time.

 Questions from Philippe Solal:

Phillippe is a doctor and associate professor in Philosophy at INSA in Toulouse, teacher of expression-communication, social psychology, philosophy of sciences and author of several books in this field.

Q1: Physics and cosmology of this early 21st century are in crisis and are looking for new patterns to represent the universe: multiverse, multidimensional, folded,  etc. Are you paying attention to this crisis and does it give food for thought about the origin of Ufos?

I have followed these works, first in astrophysics at the University of Texas which was a major cosmological research centers, then at Stanford and SRI. The result was my book Autres Dimensions where I wrote that Ufos give us the opportunity (among others) to ask questions about the structure of the universe. I have recently given a TED lecture on the physics of information  in the framework of a meeting in Brussels about the next 60 years, a period which I think will put these questions at the center of research. The conference is on Youtube.

Q2: I understand that you have investigated an increase of reports on cryptids in the USA over the last months. Would you tell us about it?

It is a subject I had put aside for a long time, first because I don’t have skills in biology or zoology and especially because it seemed to me independent of the main observations I was studying. I have been forced to come back to this position following series of reports of crypto-zoological phenomena that were co-located with well-documented observations of Ufos.

In 2012 and 2013, I traveled several times in Utah with Professor Frank Salisbury, a distinguished biologist who had also worked with NASA on botany in microgravity. We went all over the Uintah mountain range and later across the semi-desert basin which expands from Vernal to Fort Duchesne to meet the witnesses of these events. They were ranchers, industrial workers and policemen (including the tribal police). In general, those reports are not published, which makes the fieldwork essential to find people and listen to them. Those trips taught me that the observation of these creatures were to be taken seriously. As you may know it, similar observations have been reported in France.

 Questions from Daniel Robin:

Daniel is president of the Lyon based association “OVNI Investigation”, field investigator and organizer of  Rencontres des Sciences et de l’Inexpliqué. On the basis of concrete examples, he has drawn up an interference categorization of the phenomenon on human consciousness.

Q1: In your books, you propose the hypothesis that manifestations of the Ufo phenomenon could correlate with a learning program for humanity. This system could be the same type as psychologist Burrhus Frederic Skinner’s training process. Would you explain this hypothesis and show that the manifestations of the Ufo phenomenon follow a program?

This hypothesis comes from data processing compilations made during the 60s and 70s, which lead to a frequency curve of the phenomenon which looks like a learning program (a “schedule of reinforcement” according to Skinner), that is to say, a sequence of stimuli which is pseudo-periodical. According to Skinner, such a program leads to irreversible learning. It is also difficult to detect unless we study a long series of observations.

Let’s notice at the same time that military studies like the US Air Force Blue Book Project, or academic analyses like that of Professor Condon at the University of Colorado have always treated Ufo cases one by one, without any global perspective, which obviously hides such a program if it exists. The often-recycled statement in the declarations of governmental agencies that Ufos are not a threat, has never taken into account the structure of the global evolution of the phenomenon.

To prove or disprove that hypothesis, we should review recent data and update former cases in order to expand the study in a longer period. I have had the opportunity to talk it over with computer scientists from CNES. It is possible that many hypotheses would converge within such an analysis.

Q2: During a conference you hosted in Montreal in Canada, you talked about past work of arts in which possible Ufos representations can be found. You also talked about Michelangelo’s painting which represents a black triangle that the painter would have observed surely. Would you give us the references of Michelangelo’s work?

The reference is the book of Benedictine chronicler Benedetto Lushino entitled, Vulnera Diligentis (second book, chapter XXII). He wrote that Michelangelo saw a “triangular sign” on a calm night. It was bright (and not dark, by the way) with three tails, one silvery, the second red and the third “flaming and bifurcated.” The observation took place in Rome in 1513. Michelangelo was so impressed that he made a painting, which unfortunately hasn’t survived, to my knowledge.

Questions from Jean-Pierre TROADEC:

Jean-Pierre is author of the book  Les Ovnis. Collection Que Sais-Je ?, PUF Publishers, Paris, Auditor at the Institution of Higher National Defense Studies.

Q1: The Cergy-Pontoise case broke in 1979. According to you, what truth does this story hide: abduction, hoax, secret services’ fake information, other hypothesis?  What confidence do you have, and what piece of evidence will you rely on?

I often think again about this case. It affects me personally because, contrary to most investigations that a researcher happens to make, this one brought me back to a very familiar area: like the primary witness Frank Fontaine, I was a student at Parc-aux-Charrettes communal school in Pontoise; like him and his follow students, I know the area of Cergy very well; and Gérard Deforge, who had Fontaine as a student, is a close friend. I met Fontaine with the two other witnesses in Pontoise at the home of Marceau Sicaud, who had followed the whole case.

Today, I still hesitate between the thesis of a hoax and the possibility of a psychological manipulation. The other two witnesses, Prévost and N’Diaye, have explained the events in their own way but Frank’s personality and his doubt about his experience puzzle me:I don’t think that he has lied. On the other hand, we know that sociological experiences are common in the framework of psychological warfare. In Cergy-Pontoise, several obvious ways which could show manipulations have not been followed up by investigators: why ? The Gepanwas probably wise not to get more involved in the question, once the hypothesis of a real “abduction” was ruled out.

Q2: Do abductees like Adamski or Siragusa reveal a real part of ufological reports or do these stories have a link with something else? Some believe it to be pure hoax. What do you think of it?

If we refer to “scientific” reality, it seems clear that what we have here consists of hoaxes (in Adamski’s case) and psychological issues (delusion, fugue, paraphrenia) in many other cases. But the impact of these reports is deeper than a mere hoax, which would be quickly rejected once the truth is known, as was the case with Gulf Breeze’s famous observations  by “Mr Ed” or that of Meier in Switzerland, two cases that ufology has fortunately forgotten.

Dr. Carl Jung didn’t miss the cultural and psychological impact of the 50s “contactee” reports, when he noticed their appeal to powerful archetypes. For instance, contactees were among the first to mention the risk of dangerous pollution of the planet, twenty years before ecologists. This is a point on which their alleged cosmic visitors would often insist….

More recently professor Jeffrey Kripal, who is chairman of the Religious Studies Department at Rice University, has taken up this analysis again in terms of the evolution of religious concepts in the modern world. From this perspective, the fact that new beliefs are based on unverifiable facts or even false ones has no importance: Did Jesus Christ really change water into wine?

Q3: It was said that during the Second World War, German scientists may have developed circular wing machines, flying saucers (Vrils, Haunebus). Are those information be considered as rumors?

These researches are well established, and some of those prototypes were recovered (I have seen one in a laboratory in Texas). From theaeronauticalpoint of view, it was logical to try to develop such machines. At the end of the war, the firms AVRO in Canada and Couzinet in France tried to build a functional flying saucer. Americans took up those researches again, trying to find the Horten brothers. In France the Société Nationale de Construction Aéronautique du Sud-Ouest (SNCASO) hired Thomas Townsend Browne (co-founder of NICAP group) in 1955 for works on electro-gravity. Closer to us, Dr. Moller in California, whom I met in Sacramento when I saw his prototypes, still tries to build a vertical takeoff aircraft for the general public, for which he is looking for financin

With hindsight, we now understand why these aircraft are unsteady (as soon as they go up above “ground effect” like a hovercraft) and especially have difficulty with heavy loads or many passengers: the weight increases with the cube of diameter, and the center of gravity is too close to the center of lift. To my knowledge, the only circular aircraft able to carry one or two people are used by soldiers at low altitude for commando operations, especially in marshy areas. And they don’t spin around as some German prototypes did. I think that there is no longer any mystery on this topic.

Q4: What link do you make between ufology and secret initiation societies?

If they are keepers of a real tradition, initiation societies are open to the idea of non-human consciousness. In Paracelsus, to whom medicine owes some important ideas and practical remedies, we can find a series of descriptions of beings that are supposed to have realities similar to ours. The collections of such esoteric treaties contain precious historical information, apart from speculations that modern science has now validated or exceeded.

Unfortunately, when we look at the recent history of these sects, we also find a more sinister link between their leaders and “services” that use them for political reasons or simply to facilitate political influence. Some well-informed authors have reported on these relations regarding the P2 lodge or Amorc and also Masonic organizations in Africa. In particular, the sect of the Solar Temple had initiation rituals that included a contact with so-called extraterrestrials, produced by conjurers’ methods.

Questions of Nagib KARY who is in charge of  the French ufologic media Ovnis-Direct:

Q1: Do you know if there is a program or a plan to be in contact with the Ufo phenomenon at the moment ?

You can find many such attempts on the Internet, starting with Dr. Steven Greer’s group. His followers state that they are in frequent contact with Ufos through bright signals or psychic exchange. Unfortunately their cameras or videos stop working at the right moment…Other groups have claimed telepathic contacts. The most reliable projects start with the identification of high-frequency observation areas, where researchers hope to be able to establish regular communication. I haven’t seen convincing results so far.

Q2: What is your opinion about current evolutions of quantum physics ? According to you, would we be close to discoveries which can help partly to explain some phenomena related to Ufos?

The question is legitimate, especially as reliable researches about psychic functioning are facing the same problem. From the non-locality principle, we must wonder whether thought is not transmitted immediately (rather than electromagnetic waves, as in Soviet researches from 1930 to 1940 or French and English scientists’ works in the beginning of the last century with the “mental radio” concept). If so, it might be theoretically possible to get into contact with other forms of consciousness, while beings capable of moving in space might influence us at a distance, or even make us perceive imaginary scenes.

However, to tell the truth, it seems to me that in their enthusiasm some researchers use quantum physics a little bit too much: since these mechanisms remain mysterious, they can be stretched to explain a lot of phenomena in an exaggerated way. I am more interested in new ideas on the physics of information, as I said earlier. If space and time are a side effect of our consciousness and a physical illusion, we should face the problem of phenomena related to Ufos in a more fundamental way.

 Q3: Why does the hypothesis of control deal essentially with Ufos and people who are related? Might this manipulation of space and time not materialize current life, in the street, inside houses?

We can imagine a control system that would distort our reality gradually (both physically and socially) to replace it with “something else.” This is what Jorge-Luis Borges described in his masterpiece short story, Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.

Q4: Could you tell us the main author, researchers who are currently in the same school of thought as you ?

First, Jeff Kripal and his students and the participants to his symposia at Esalen over  the last few years (see his book Authors of the Impossible, University of Chicago Press, where he analyzes my work and that of Bertrand Méheust). These ideas converge with Jean Sider’s work in France and several physicists in the US, and researchers like Philippe Guillemant at CNRS. Moreover, there are groups in Silicon Valley that work on retro-causality and who question physical theories. I think that this work must be done before asking the question of Ufo reality and nature on a very scientific basis.

In fact, I could sum up the issue in the following way: “(1) The Ufo phenomenon does exist, and (2) Knowing that, we just have to renegotiate what we mean by reality!”

Q5: So, can you understand the fact that someone like John Keel has been called into question many times ? Did you manage to talk to him about the manifestation of Point Pleasant (1966-67)?

Is that case credible for you? And do you know if there are other types involving a wide range of varied paranormal manifestations?

John was not a scientist and didn’t pretend to be one. He was rightly called into question because his sources were unverified. I think that he was going too fast and got carried away by the impressions of the moment. To his great credit he spent a lot of time in the field, he was the first to state that genuine witnesses make up an invisible majority, and that the military had a systematic interference program with the observations. He also called into question the extraterrestrial hypothesis — in Disneyland of the Gods in particular.

As for Point Pleasant, I can’t comment about it, I didn’t interview witnesses. But I trust John when he describes the destruction of a bridge that was predicted by previous messages, and he concludes that the phenomenon sometimes makes a fool of us at our expense.

Q6: A lot of Internet users on social networks are keen on the lights which were filmed in Phoenix in Arizona in 1997 and Ufos crashes on the ground which would exhibit material debris. Is it possible to link the hypothesis of the system control with the (Phoenix) facts and assumptions (crashes, reverse engineering) said previously?

This raises two very different questions: The Phoenix case shows the limits of our observation system since we have a lot of reports and a video recording, but we still can’t manage to prove the nature of the phenomenon. I don’t have additional elements that could solve the problem, but let’s notice that the Phoenix case is not unique: it coincides with many unexplained observations of large sets of objects (or lights associated with a big object) in the USA and elsewhere as in the unsolved case of 5 November 1990 in France.

Material debris do exist and they don’t necessarily come from a “crash.” I have published an analysis of several samples I was entrusted with after an observation of a low altitude object ejecting a liquid metal : The results are instructive. Of course, the Holy Grail might be a piece of a crashed machine but it is not obvious that our laboratories are equipped to understand it: As someone said, give a garage door opener to Léonardo da Vinci…

Q7: According to your knowledge and statistical data, is it possible that the system control solves these manifestations again by changing radically? Which would mean that Ufos could become more discreet and make way for a new kind of folklore having the same constants.

If we have a look at the history of the phenomenon over centuries, which we can do now thanks to Chris Aubeck’s researches and his group “Magoniax” on Internet, we can find both some constants (in the appearance of the phenomenon, its evolution and its physical effects) and changes of presentation which seem slightly in advance of technological ideas of the time. Americans of the 19th century saw impossible airships some decades before the building of the first airships, for instance. After the Second World War, we heard about flying saucers with silly small aerials as in the imagination of Comics. Is it a characteristic of the control system? Or simply an effect of a society that puts imagination in the framework of a mysterious phenomenon which still remains unexplained? I agree with your last hypothesis: a new kind of folklore with the same constants.

Q8: You prefaced Bob Pratt’s book entitled Ovnis – danger – appel à la vigilance (in English: Ufo Danger Zone: Terror & Death in Brazil). Have you known new disturbing cases over the last few years?

I haven’t returned to Brazil since the 80s. But we keep receiving information which confirms what Bob Pratt described in his book and what witnesses told me at the spot, including Brazilian Air Force Intelligence officers like Colonel Hollanda Lima.

Daily 2 Cents: Grandmother Told the Truth — Vatican Prepares For Aliens — Grandfather’s Funeral

(Before It's News)

Grandmother Told the Truth

My grandparents lived in Dayton, Ohio for years prior to 1964. A close friend retired from Wright Patterson AFB. He was high ranking. My grandmother, who was the most witty, honest, and most candid person I’d ever met asked him if it were true about the alien craft and possibly the alien bodies being store at the base. I’ll never forget her telling me this story and her words regarding his response. He said “(my grandmother’s name), if the public knew what was at the base from the Roswell incident, there would be a general panic amongst the public.” She asked him nothing else and he made no more mention of it. – MUFON CMS

232 teeth extracted from teen’s mouth

In a rare medical case, a team of doctors at state-run JJ hospital extracted as many as 232 tiny teeth from a 17-year-old boy’s mouth in a six-hour long surgery conducted on Monday. Interestingly, doctors claim that the total count of minuscule teeth was far greater than 232, after which they gave up on counting and focussed only on removing them.

Aashiq Gawai, a tenth standard boy from a remote village called Valsavangi in Buldhana district, started developing abnormally fast growing teeth, four months ago. While initially, his parents ignored the peculiar growth, tension grew when his right lower jaw started to swell.

“I did not have much money and we could not understand what was wrong with my son. We first visited a private doctor after which we went to a public hospital in Aurangabad. The doctors in Aurangabad referred us to JJ hospital, stating that it is out of their medical expertise,” said Suresh Gawai, Aashiq’s father.

Gawai, who cultivates cotton in Valsavangi, can hardly speak Hindi.  He still cannot understand the medical anomaly his son developed. With no money in his pockets, he reached Mumbai and admitted Aashiq to JJ hospital on July 1.

Later, he was informed about the Rajiv Gandhi Jeevandayee Arogya Yojana, a scheme that provides free medical treatment to poor patients, and enlisted his son under the scheme.

On July 21, during a six-hour long surgery, a team of doctors removed the abnormal growth of teeth from Aashiq’s lower jaw.

“The abnormal growth was a benign tumour. He had a normal jawline, but one molar tooth in the lower jaw had given birth to hundreds of tiny teeth. There were clusters of tooth buds in his lower jaw,” said Dr Sunanda Dhivare, head of dentistry department at JJ hospital.

The doctors in the hospital themselves admitted to having witnessed such a condition for the first time. ENT surgeon Dr Vandana Thorawade said  during the surgery, they ensured that the patient’s face symmetry did not change.

“The bone around which the tumour was attached had become brittle and thin. That was the only complication. We could not let that bone break and so we slowly removed one tooth after another,”  Thorawade added.

At present, he is on a liquid diet and should be able to eat solid food in a few days. – Indian Express

Vatican Prepares For Aliens

For decades the Vatican has convened some of the brightest minds in the scientific community around the world to ponder the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and to prepare a public disclosure on behalf of the Catholic Church in case the existence of aliens is confirmed.

Many scientists affirm we’re not far from establishing the “First Contact,” given the advances made is astronomy. Because of this, the Vatican wishes to be ready with a statement. It might not be a easy task for the church to interpret holy scripture—if not analyzed properly—if life is found on other planets and man is not the only creature made in the image of God.

This past March the Vatican Observatory and the University of Arizona organized a conference held in Tucson to discuss the advances made in the search for extraterrestrial life. The conference was inspired by the rapid discovery of planets, new findings on the thresholds of extreme conditions at which life on Planet Earth can survive, and new technology designed for the search of life on exoplanets.

Experts on the study of exoplanets, biologists, companies specializing in biosciences and atmospheric science also participated.

About 200 scientists from around the world attended the event “Search for life beyond the solar system.” They’re challenged with facing the possibility of finding alien life using an interdisciplinary approach.

This July another advancement made by Jesuit priest Guy Consolmagno, a doctor in astronomy for the Vatican Observatory, was given the Carl Sagan science medal from the American Astronomical Society (AAS). Counting with scientists such as Brother Consolmagno, the Vatican’s scientific endeavors have gained prestige.

The AAS announced the award for Brother Consolmagno in honor of his “distinguished communications on behalf of a scientist to the general public”.

Brother Consolmagno has appeared in major news outlets, including the BBC, where he has served as an expert on topics of science and religion relating to science. – VOXXI

Fireball Races Across Calgary Sky

Some Albertans who were up early Tuesday were treated to a rare sight when a fireball lit up the night sky.

The Rothney Observatory reports that a fireball — which is larger than a meteor — was seen at 1:24 a.m. Tuesday.

“They’re so bright that if you’re standing, you’ll see your shadow, just like in the daytime,” said Dr. Phil Langill, who directs the University of Calgary observatory.

A meteor is a small rock from outer space that burns up as it enters Earth’s atmosphere. Langill said a fireball is even larger.

“Essentially they’re the same thing; it’s just a matter of scale,” he said.

Scores of people took to Twitter and emailed the Herald about the sudden flash of light.

Jesse Shan was on his south-facing Marda Loop balcony when he saw what appeared to be cloudless lightning just southeast of the city.

“I saw a massive flash to begin with; I was like ‘woah,’ ” said Shan.

He saw a blue-white streak, followed by a burning orange orb that moved slowly, lingering for about five seconds before vanishing.

“It was almost like it entered through out of nowhere and then exited again. It’s just ridiculous,” he said.

Other Calgarians reported a green flash, comparing the sight with falling debris or a large shooting star. Rothney Observatory released a photo of a light-blue teardrop lighting up most of the night sky.

Langill said he guesses the rock was about a metre in diameter. He said that while space rocks vary in density, a grain of sand will produce less than a second of visible flame, while a basketball-sized meteor will net two to three seconds. A couch-sized rock can last up to 10 seconds.

Though it’s impossible to estimate without multiple photos, Langill’s guess is the fireball flamed out over an area between Calgary and Lethbridge. He said it’s possible smaller fragments would have fallen to earth if the rock broke apart.

Sightings were reported some 450 kilometres north of Calgary.

“It was a huge flash of light and we thought: ‘What the heck was that?’ ” said Athabasca resident Michael Borody. He also saw a flash from the southeast, and thought it was a firework. “It was too fast for anyone to get a photo.”

Langill said current technology can’t anticipate metre-wide meteors. While fireball sightings depend on size, cloud cover and population on the ground, he said they’re probably seen about once a year in Calgary.

The fireball wasn’t the only overnight space show for Alberta.

Jason Nishiyama, Calgary head for the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, said watchers reported an iridium flare Monday at 11:30 p.m., just two hours before the fireball.

“Iridium flares are sunlight glinting off panels of the iridium communication satellites. They are quite bright,” Nishiyama told the Herald in an email.

Alan Dyer, an astronomy writer who worked three decades with the Calgary science centre, said iridium flares are typical during summer’s clear nights. Most are predictable based on the positioning of satellites used for GPS systems.

“You see them all the time; they’re really common,” he said.

As for the fireball, even professional skywatchers missed the five-second spectacle. Langill said researchers were working inside the observatory at the time of the fireball, but were glued to their screens.

“They kind of missed out,” he said. – Calgary Herald

Grandfather’s Funeral

It was my grandfather’s funeral today. The service was held in the local crematorium. Some family members said a few words and I read a poem, one called God Lay Dead in Heaven by an American guy named Stephen Crane, as the coffin moved into the furnace. There had been a lot of debate about whether the poem should be read, my mother thought it was inappropriate, that it might upset some of our older friends and relatives, but it had been my grandfather’s wish for me to read this particular poem at his funeral and so I did.

As I finished the last line of the poem, I had heard a few faint mutterings and the uncomfortable shuffling of some people in their seats, but I was too preoccupied to notice. As I walked back to take my seat I knew people were staring at me and I began to grow paranoid that it was because I hadn’t cried. I had tried to cry, I really had, but after what I’d learned the week before, all I could feel was a cold numbness.

My grandfather was the kindest, most generous person I have ever met. He had worked all his life as a steelworker but took early retirement to help out my mum and dad when my little sister, Ellie, was born twelve years ago. I was seven when she was born and every other weekend we would spend time at my grandfather’s house so that my parents could spend some alone time together. When I was little he would buy me big bags of sweets and take me to the video store to rent whatever movie I wanted. As I grew up, I still looked forward to my weekends at his house and my sister and I would come home from school on a Friday before we were due to leave for his house and pack our things ready in excitement.

One weekend, when I was twelve years old and my sister five, our grandfather took us out shopping in town. A new Disney store had been added to the shopping mall and my sister had been bugging us all morning to go and finally my grandfather gave in. I wasn’t really into Disney any more, so the trip was pretty boring for me, but Ellie was fascinated by all the toys and merchandise, disappearing into thick crowds of people more than once as she ran about, almost giving me and my grandfather a heart attack each time. Eventually, she became transfixed on a sky-blue Cinderella dress and begged my grandfather to buy it for her. It took us a good twenty minutes to coax her out of the store, and her tears and sobs brought on by being torn away from the dress only subsided after she was bribed with ice cream and a promise that she could stay up an hour past her bed time that night.

It was two weeks later when we went back to my grandfather’s house and as soon as we walked in Ellie screamed a high-pitched scream. Hanging on the door frame of the living room was the Cinderella dress – my grandfather had bought it for her the day before. After that, Ellie barely took that dress off. She would wear it everywhere, in all weather, and would have slept in it had she been allowed. One day, after a fancy dress party at her school, she came home looking more or less distraught. I asked her what was wrong and she said that another girl at school had been wearing the same dress and it didn’t seem “special” any more. I rolled my eyes when she retold this story to my grandfather that weekend but instead of brushing it off as childish nonsense, he took Ellie out to buy some sequins and fake gems and they spent the afternoon together customizing the dress to make it unique. She had run to show me the dress once it was finished, holding it up with a huge smile on her face. It was covered in red, blue and green sequins and gems, haphazardly stuck with glue in random places. On the label at the neck she had scrawled “Ellie” in black marker pen, to make it clear who it belonged to, she told me.

One month later Ellie was missing.

I don’t remember an awful lot from this time. It was all a blur of policemen, counsellors and my parents crying. Ellie had last been seen playing in the street in her Cinderella dress and then all of a sudden, she was gone. The police had no idea what had happened. They searched everywhere for her and the whole community joined in to help search the fields and wastelands around the village, but to no avail. She had just vanished. There was a short period where the police had thought they had caught the guy that did it but it turned out he wasn’t the one, so they let him go. People weren’t convinced that he was innocent and I think he had to move out of town after a while. Eventually, the case became cold, the police investigation slowed down and our family were left to deal with this new void in our lives.

About two years after Ellie went missing, my dad ran off with another woman. My mother couldn’t take it and suffered a huge breakdown, having to spend a long time in a hospital in order to recover. I was still only a teenager at this time, so I went to stay with my grandfather. Life with him was good, he looked after me and treated me well, doing everything a normal parent should, but it was never the same. There was always a horrible air of sadness lurking around the house and at nights I often heard him crying himself to sleep.

When I reached the age of seventeen, I felt I was old enough to move out and have my own place, but instead I moved back in to my mother’s home. She had been released from the hospital and I thought it would be good to be there to look after her and at least attempt to rebuild what was left of our relationship.

Everything carried on as normal as it could have until two days before my nineteenth birthday, when my grandfather passed away. He had been fighting bowel cancer for almost a year and it was horrible to see him slowly fading away. Part of me felt relief when he finally died, although I hate to admit it. A few days before he died, he had asked my mum to call me into his room at the hospital so he could speak to me alone. He chatted to me about some things from the past and told me he was proud of me. Just before I left he handed me a small white envelope and made me promise that I would only open it after he had passed. I promised and stuffed the envelope in my pocket.

It wasn’t until the day after he passed that I remembered the envelope. I fished it out of my pocket and opened it slowly. Inside was a print off of a map with a tiny area circled, “it’s here” scrawled in red ink above the marker. Also in the envelope was a small key. I immediately set off to find out what it opened.

The area on the map was one familiar to me. It was a field near my old primary school and the circle lead me to an isolated corner where a large tree stood. I didn’t see anything there. I checked the map again and again but I was sure I was in the right spot. Then something inside me told me to dig, so I dropped to my knees and began scraping at the hard ground with a sharp stone I found. After a good hour or so of digging I hit something solid. I spent the next while digging around the object, eventually pulling out a red metal box. It was locked with a small silver padlock.

At the wake, I didn’t talk to anyone. Some people tried to talk to me, but I was in a haze. A couple of my grandfather’s old drinking buddies made a few comments about the poem I read being inappropriate – I guess mum was right. I couldn’t stay there with all those people and so I left early.

I’m at home now and I still can’t cry. As I type this the red box sits in my lap. Inside is a blue Cinderella dress, decorated with red, blue and green sequins and gems, the name “Ellie” still barely legible on the tag at the neck. I don’t know what to feel. – Reddit.com

Is That A UFO Flying Over Lucknow, India?

(Before It's News)

The first sighting of the UFO.

Is it a plane? Is it a bird? No, apparently, it is a UFO which was spotted flying over Lucknow. Even though the astronomers are saying that it could be a UFO, there is no official confirmation as to what it was.

With astronomers from all over the world hinting that there could be other planets with life on them, the appearance of an unidentified flying object (UFO) over Lucknow has become a heated topic of discussion.

These photographs of the UFO were taken by Lucknow resident Amit Tripathi. Tripathi, who lives in Rajajipuram’s E-block, sector 11, was sitting in his balcony and taking photographs of the sunset with his cellphone when he spotted a mysterious shiny object in the sky beside the sun.

Within moments, the shiny flying object began spinning and rising. Tripathi quickly took some photographs of the object with his phone. Tripathi says the object went straight up and within 40 seconds it disappeared.

Earlier too reports had come in of UFOs being spotted on July 11 in Guwahati, on July 12 from Shamli and on July 14 in Tundla.

Take a look at the photos that Amit Tripathi took. What do you think? Is the circled object a UFO?

It started spinning and began rising upwards.

As it rose upwards, it moved back and forth horizontally as well.

The last photo of the purported UFO.

ASTRONAUTS CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH ALIEN CRAFT

(Before It's News)

ASTRONAUTS CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH ALIEN CRAFT

What was the UFO the Apollo 11 astronauts spotted en route to the moon?   Something was there, floating in space outside the window of Apollo 11, “out there close enough to be observed,” as Col. Buzz Aldrin would say years later. The crew of Apollo 11, en route to the moon, encountered an unidentified flying object. That doesn’t necessarily mean it was little green men in a space ship from another planet or the USS Enterprise or Mork soaring in from Ork but something was there. 

By the purest definition of the words “unidentified flying object,” it’s exactly what it was.  Even now, it remains unidentified.With the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission upon us, Aldrin did recent online chat on Reddit’s AMA (Ask Me Anything).  It was a characteristic move for Aldrin, who has always enjoyed the hoopla of public attention and appearances; “Buzz would go to the opening of an envelope,” a friend once said.  “I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us,” he said in the chat.

 ”There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world — it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the four panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft.”  The lunar lander sat between third state of the booster rocket and the capsule in which the astronauts rode. The lander was encased by the four panels, which peeled away as the capsule separated and manuvered for docking with the lander.  “So in the close vicinity, moving away, were four panels,” Aldrin continued. And I feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected off of one of these panels. Which one? I don’t know. So technically, the definition could be ‘unidentified.’”  Aldrin said that “we well understood what it was.”  Imagine the reaction if planet Earth, still a relative newbie when it came to space travel, weaned on sci-fi and still aching with Cold War paranoia, had heard, “Neil, what the hell is that out the window? Is that a flying saucer?”  The astronauts’ debriefing upon return included discussion about the UFO and NASA was either satisfied with the determination it was the panels floating away or it wanted to keep things under wraps. Either way, it wasn’t widespread public knowledge until Aldrin casually mentioned it during a TV interview years later.  NOTE: The above image is real and only one of many alien craft associated with the astronauts .

Is Russia preparing for extraterrestrial disclosure?

Governor IKirsan Ilyumzhinov meeting former President Vladimir Putin

In an extraordinary television interview, the Governor of the Russian Republic of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov who is also President of the World Chess Federation, claimed that in 1997 he was taken from his penthouse apartment on board an extraterrestrial vehicle. Ilyumzhinov claims that the extraterrestrials he met were humanoid and gave him a tour of their ship, and even took him to another world. According to Ilyumzhinov, his experience is backed by three witnesses who searched for him at his home after he had boarded the alien spaceship. Most revealing is that Ilyumzhinov appeared on Russia’s no.1 rated television station, Channel One, which is 51% controlled by the Russian government. The interviewer, Vladimir Pozner, began the segment with questions about Ilyumzhinov’s experience. This reveals that the host and producers knew in advance of what had happened, and wished to discuss it on air. Significantly, there was no censorship of Ilyumzhinov’s experience which was immediately made available on the Channel One website. At the very least, this signifies that the Russian government remains open to public debate on extraterrestrial life sparked by its most prominent television station. More importantly, the airing of Ilyumzhinov’s experience may signal a covert attempt by Russian officials to prepare its citizens for eventual public disclosure of extraterrestrial life.

In the interview, Ilyumzhinov described how he was woken from his sleep and exited his apartment through a balcony onto the waiting ship. He said:

• In the evening I read a book, watched TV, and went to rest. And then, probably, fell asleep, and felt that the balcony opened and someone called. He came up, I looked – a kind of translucent half-pipe. I went into this tube and saw people in yellow spacesuits.

Ilyumzhinov went on to describe how the extraterrestrials took him on a tour of their vehicle. Then they claimed that they needed samples from another planet and took him with them before returning him safely to his apartment. Significantly, three witnesses can confirm Ilyumzhinov’s disappearance from his apartment. In the interview, Ilyumzhinov explained what happened:

• I probably would not have believed in it, if there were not three witnesses - my driver, a minister, and my assistant, who arrived in the morning, and found that I was not there.  Things are in place, the balcony is open (it was the top floor). They looked around, began to call friends.... Then they sat in the kitchen, discussing where to call, where to contact - because the phone, the things are in place, the apartment was closed, but they had their own key. And then they see me coming out of the bedroom, guiding myself to the kitchen.… They say: "Where were you?"  Well, I replied as if normal: "Well, I flew. I was on a saucer.”  They were upset, and said: "We are asking you seriously." And then I sat down, and began to reason logically. So for this time, for about an hour they were here, and I was not in the apartment. One was in the hall, I could not have passed him... Then for a few months they were in shock about this.

The prominent public airing of Ilyumzhinov’s experience led to Andrei Lebedev, a member of the Russian Parliament from the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party, asking President Medvedev to launch an official inquiry into the alleged alien contact. In his letter, Lebedev wrote:

• I ask you to say if the head of Kalmykia has made an official report to the Russian presidency about his contacts with representatives of an alien civilisation. Is there an established procedure of informing about such contacts by high-ranking people who have access to secret information like Ilyumzhinov? And did he in the course of his seemingly innocent conversation disclose secret information?

Both Ilyumzhinov’s testimony and the official request by Lebedev for an official inquiry ensures continued public interest and scrutiny of the 1997 incident.

Ilyumzhinov’s testimony comes at a time of unprecedented public interest in UFOs and extraterrestrial life. British physicist Stephen Hawking on April 25 stated that it’s “perfectly rationall” to discuss intelligent extraterrestrial life and the political motivations of any civilization visiting Earth. In November 2009 and January 2010, both the Vatican and the Royal Society of London sponsored astrobiology conferences where the scientific and social implications of intelligent extraterrestrial life were discussed.

The way Ilyumzhinov was able to publicly share his experience on a Government controlled television station without any censorship suggests the tacit approval of senior Russian officials. His status as both a sitting Governor and President of the prestigious World Chess Federation ensured his testimony would get much public attention both in Russia and beyond. At the very least, Russia is displaying an extraordinary degree of public openness on UFOs and alien life by allowing elected officials to share their experiences. Alternatively, it is very possible that Russia is covertly preparing its citizenry for official disclosure of the existence of advanced extraterrestrial life.

Vatican preparing statement on extraterrestrial life

ExoNewsTV

Pope Francis is reportedly preparing a major world statement about extraterrestrial life and its theological implications. Rosana Ubanell from Voxxi News today reported that due to advances in scientific detection methods for the discovery of extraterrestrial life, Pope Francis wants to be ready with a statement about “First Contact”. Ubanell reports that details have yet to be officially announced but that the Vatican’s interest in extraterrestrial life is well documented through recent astrobiology conferences the Vatican Observatory has sponsored or participated in. Father Guy Consolmagno, a Jesuit astronomer and one of the leading Catholic proponents for preparing for the scientific discovery of extraterrestrial life, on July 18, won the Carl Sagan science medal from the American Astronomical Society.  Pope Francis, a fellow Jesuit, regularly consults with Consolmagno and other leading Vatican astronomers about scientific issues. It is likely that Pope Francis is preparing an “Urbi et Orbi” speech – Latin for “to the city [of Rome] and the world” – about First Contact with extraterrestrial life.

The Vatican’s scientific interest in extraterrestrial life was publicly revealed for the first time in May 2008 when the head of the Vatican Observatory, Fr Gabriel Funes, also a Jesuit, gave an interview to the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano. Funes made a series of startling statements about how extraterrestrial life is likely to be more ethically evolved than humans, and can be welcomed as brothers. In his interview, which was titled "The extraterrestrial is my brother,"  Funes said that intelligent extraterrestrial life may not have experienced a ‘fall’, and may be “free from Original Sin … [remaining] in full friendship with their creator.” This makes it possible to regard them as ‘our brothers’ as Funes explained:

• Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on earth, there can be other beings, even intelligent, created by God. This is not in contrast with our faith because we can't put limits on God's creative freedom… "Why can't we speak of a 'brother extraterrestrial'? It would still be part of creation…

Most importantly, Funes’ statement makes possible the idea that Christianity can be exported to extraterrestrial worlds that have not experienced a ‘fall’ and are free from original sin.

Just over a year after his interview, Funes was the organizer of the first ever Astrobiology Symposium held by Pontifical Academy of Sciences in November 2009. Consolmagno and Funes have ever since played leading roles for the Vatican Observatory in presenting a theological perspective on the discovery of extraterrestrial life. Most importantly, both have been leading advisors to Pope Francis about scientific issues concerning the discovery of extraterrestrial life.

What is likely to be the content of Pope Francis' upcoming statement or possible “Urbi et Orbi” speech about alien life? An important clue is a forthcoming presentation by Fr. Consolmagno at a September 18-19, 2014, astrobiology symposium organized by NASA and the Library of Congress that is titled: “Preparing for Discovery: A Rational Approach to the Implications of Finding Microbial, Complex or Intelligent Life Beyond Earth.”

Consolmagno is a featured presenter and will discuss the theological implications of discovering alien life. His topic, “Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial?” suggests that Pope Francis agrees that extraterrestrials are capable of the higher ethics involved in understanding the Christian message and becoming Christians.

If Pope Francis is indeed preparing a statement about extraterrestrial life, it is likely to emphasize that there is no incompatibility in Christian teachings with a belief in extraterrestrial life as Fr. Funes proposed in May 2008. More importantly, Pope Francis is likely to emphasize themes of extraterrestrials: not sharing in original sin; being more ethically evolved; and being capable of sharing the Christian message, and being our brothers.

Not all will welcome a statement from Pope Francis advocating extraterrestrials as brothers and worthy of being baptized into the Christian faith. According to Chris Putnam and Tom Horn, authors of Exovaticana, Pope Francis I is preparing to lead the Catholic Church to embrace aliens as “brothers in Christ” – reflective of the 1950s and 1960s contactee reports of benevolent “space brothers.” Putnam’s and Horn’s Exovaticana portends a future religious war between those accepting extraterrestrials as “brothers in Christ” and those believing them to be returning demons about to enslave us. Despite the extensive scholarship found in Exovaticana, it unfortunately skews data towards an overly negative assessment of the motivations of extraterrestrial visitors. Thankfully, the Vatican’s evolving public position, as reflected by statements from its leading astronomers, shows a far more enlightened stance on how to consider the discovery of alien life from a theological perspective. A statement or “Urbi et Orbi” speech from Pope Francis expounding on various themes associated with the view that extraterrestrials are potential “brothers in Christ’ is a welcome position to take on a controversial issue with major world significance.
