Tomorrow, a Spacecraft Will Try to Land on a Comet for the First Time Ever
Tomorrow, a Spacecraft Will Try to Land on a Comet for the First Time Ever
Tomorrow morning, a 10-year, 4-billion-mile journey will end when a spacecraft attempts to land on a comet for the first time.
The ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft arrived at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on August 6, settling in an orbit around the roughly 20-trillion-pound space rock, which, if you squint, kind of looks like a rubber duck. For the last couple months, Rosetta has been studying the comet, surveying its surface and measuring the dust particles and gases around it. Scientists are finding that 67P, which stretches for about 2.5 miles at its widest, is expelling methane, ethanol, and sulfur, which might give it a rotten-egg-like stench.
Tonight, at 11:35 p.m. PST, Rosetta will release its 220-pound lander craft, dubbed Philae, which will slowly descend from a height of about 13 miles onto the landing site named Agilkia, a relatively flat spot on the duck’s head. You can follow along here (above) as the landing unfolds on live webcast from the ESA’s mission control starting at 11:00 a.m. PST/2:00 p.m. EST today. NASA TV is also providing live coverage starting at 6:00 a.m. PST/9:00 a.m. EST tomorrow.

Scientists didn’t know what the comet’s surface would be like until Rosetta got close, so they couldn’t choose a landing site ahead of time. Once the spacecraft arrived, it scoured the comet for potential places to touch down—the first time a spacecraft had to look for its own landing site. In previous missions to Mars, for instance, data from orbiting spacecraft gave scientists the luxury to spend months and years pondering their options. But Rosetta had to find a location in just six weeks.
Rosetta discovered that the comet was more dusty than it was icy. To maximize the chances of a successful landing, scientists modeled how Philae would land on different kinds of soil—some harder, some softer. Still, there’s a lot of uncertainty. The comet is a rugged place, covered with jagged edges and huge boulders. Philae can’t steer, so if there’s a rock in the way, there isn’t much anyone can do. “That’s the part that worries me most,” said Andrea Accomazzo, flight director of the European Space Operations Centre, in an online media briefing last week.
Once Philae is released, it will float freely toward the comet for seven hours before gently dropping onto the surface. If all goes well, mission controllers will receive confirmation of a successful landing at 8:02 a.m. PST/11:02 a.m. EST.

Once Philae lands on its three spindly legs, it will fire a harpoon straight into the surface, anchoring itself to the comet to prevent it from floating away. Small thrusters will also blast upward from the lander to help it stay grounded. It will then begin its preprogrammed sequence of snapping pictures and taking data. The lander is equipped with 10 instruments, including cameras and a drill, to analyze the comet’s surface and chemical composition. Rosetta will also send radio signals through the comet to probe 67P’s interior structure; Philae will relay those signals back to Rosetta.
The initial automated phase will last about 65 hours, but the lander is expected to continue doing science until March, when the comet gets so close to the sun that the scorching temperatures will damage Philae’s electronics. Dust may also accumulate on its solar panels over time, choking off its power source.
Meanwhile, Rosetta will remain in orbit as the comet swings by the sun, whose solar wind blows the gases and dust that surround the comet into its characteristic tail. No one’s sure how long Rosetta will last in the sun’s heat and the harsh environment of space, but the spacecraft’s designed to continue studying 67P for 17 more months—and likely several months more. Even though Philae’s landing is certainly important, 80 percent of the scientific data from the mission will be from Rosetta, simply because it will spend more time studying the comet, says Fred Jansen, the Rosetta mission manager.

Needless to say, landing on a comet is hard. Both Rosetta and 67P are hurtling through space at about 40,000 miles per hour, 300 million miles away.
Spacecraft previously have landed only on seven other places in the universe: the moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn’s moon Titan, and two asteroids. Although not quite a landing, NASA’s Deep Impact mission purposefully smashed an impactor into comet Tempel 1 in 2005 to study the resulting cloud of debris. The plan for Philae, of course, is to land in one piece and explore the comet intact.

Welsh UFO sightings intensify!
Welsh UFO sightings intensify!
What exactly is happening in the skies above Wales?
It was a strange summer in the skies over Wales
Wales has seen much UFO activity in 2014
It is a massive concern that the skies above us are teeming with Ariel activity of unknown origin. Just what is happening up there?
Since the Paranormal Chronicles UFO report was picked up and covered by the U.K national and local press, German news and many online Sources, we have been inundated by reports of objects over our skies.
Wales in Particular has been the focus of many sightings of which were seen around the time the Pembrokeshire UFO was sighted on Wednesday 5th June. Thanks to the support from local papers such as the Carmarthen Journal we are now able to publish some of these Welsh reports.
We appeal to anybody out there that has had a sighting to please contact us. We protect all our sources and your anonymity is guaranteed. If you have any photographic or video footage then please contact us and we shall give your evidence our fullest attention.
Please read below and feel free to contact us with your views and opinions. Each report correlates to the number on the map to give you an idea on the area’s where the objects were spotted.
(1) TALGARTH UFO
I’ve come across the articles about your sighting. That very same day (Thursday 5th June) in the afternoon I went for a walk in Talgarth, Mid Wales. I go to my usual spot looking out onto the Black Mountains. I was in awe of the gliders and planes going out and coming back in, as I saw them come into land, during the same hour, to the left of the mountain was a bright circular object rising diagonally up into the sky. It wasn’t a glider and it wasn’t the RAF jet which went over moments later. I just sat there wondering what it was. The RAF jet was darker in colour and to my eye I could see the shape of the gliders coming into land, the same distance away as this unknown object; circular and bright and I tried to keep my eye on it as it went out of my sight over a tree, but I lost it, so where did it go? Maybe the gliders out that day saw something around 4.30pm-5:15. Maybe they saw something as they came into land? Is it a coincidence I see a UFO and an RAF jet moments later? I just sat there thinking, it’s a busy sky today! I am wondering what it was I actually saw?
(2)PRESTATYN OBJECT
I saw a bright red and white light moving northwest over Prestatyn, north Wales on Thursday 5th June between 8pm and 10pm.It was bright almost as if it was fire from an after burner of a plane but it had this on the whole time it was in the sky. If that was a military plane it would have used a big chunk of fuel and it had a trail behind it. It was in our atmosphere and was quiet, not like others planes I’ve seen. The light from exhaust was illuminating vapour trails and then it went over the sea, In a Northwest direction.
(3) GLAMORGAN SIGHTINGS
Having just come across an article on Yahoo regarding your recent post on a UFO sighting over Wales I thought I’d send you this message, now unfortunately I do not have any video nor photographic evidence as every time I tried either taking a video or a picture of what both myself and my father saw on several occasions over Pontarddulais, Swansea the videos and pictures were all blurred.
It started not long after I moved to Pontarddulais that my father started seeing strange glowing objects in the sky passing at a low altitude. This object or UFO had an orange glow and was moving too fast to have been a Chinese lantern anyway, it couldn’t have been any prop nor jet craft as there wasn’t any sound either.
About a year or so later whilst out with friends around mid-late October I spotted several of the same orbs passing over Llanelli. Since, whatever these orbs or UFO’s are haven’t been passing by often ad seems to be somewhere from September time until the end of December.
My most recent sighting was whilst on my way to work with a mate of mine. Had just left Penllergaer services and was going through the lights, when I spotted something in the distance which was toward Morriston/LLamsamlet area. I saw a large white object that was not in any way a cloud nor any form of aircraft, to try and see if I could get a clearer image of what it was. I got my phone out and tried zooming in with the camera though by the time I did that it was gone.
(4) The Original Pembrokeshire UFO Report from Wednesday 4th June 2014
Reports are coming in of a bright star moving west across Pembrokeshire. At Approx. 11.05 pm a large bright star was seen moving over Haverfordwest and heading east. Witness accounts have also seen the Object travelling over Narberth, Whitland and also Swansea. Smaller star like lights have been seen to approach the larger one and make circular flight patterns around it and then fly off at speed.
The Paranormal Chronicles have checked the ISS (International space station) Tracker and the space station has passed over Pembrokeshire tonight and we are trying to confirm the exact time the station passed over the region. Reports suggest it was too bright and large to be a Chinese lantern and the object made “drastic” course changes. No sound was heard coming from the object. The smaller lights “Buzzing” it have not been identified as of yet.
We ask that people east from Pembrokeshire, Wales to please look outside to see if you can capture any images of the object.
If you have any information or able to get film or photographic documentation then please contact the Paranormal Chronicles at : Paranormalchronicles@aol.com
Hate to keep working a plowed field, but today we need to revisit the seminal “Sovereignty and the UFO” essay in the journal of Political Theory. That's because of what's happening tomorrow in Washington, D.C.
The "Sovereignty" piece, penned by political scientists Alexander Wendt and Raymond Duvall in 2008, laid out a theory for why America’s higher-learning institutions were incapable of entertaining serious debates on The Great Taboo. The disconnect was more political than scientific, and the result, they argued, was intellectual poverty on a broad scale.
"Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" -- Mister Spock/CREDIT: www.fanpop.com
“If academics’ first responsibility is to tell the truth,” they declared, “then the truth is that after sixty years of modern UFOs, human beings still have no idea what they are, and are not even trying to find out. That should surprise and disturb us all, and cast doubt on the structure of rule that requires and sustains it.”
At American University, international relations professor Patrick Jackson, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education at the School of International Service, is not only familiar with the Wendt/Duvall piece, he sympathizes with major portions of it. “Science is the excitement of not knowing. I’d like to think we want our students to think more broadly than to simply reproduce in some form or fashion the same old idea they’ve heard all their lives,” says Jackson. “I mean, what is tenure if not to explore what Nietzche called untimely thoughts?”
Accordingly, on Wednesday, Jackson has volunteered to sub for PBS science reporter Miles O’Brien (scheduling conflict) and moderate AU’s three-hour panel discussion “UFOs: Encounters by Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials.” This is a free public event extending from an honors colloquium taught by cinema professor John Weiskopf. The lineup includes USAF veteran Charles Halt (the Bentwaters incident), retired NASA scientist Richard Haines (National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena founder), Roswell investigator Thomas Carey, and New York Times bestselling author Leslie Kean (UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record).
This is a big deal. Although increasing numbers of institutions are warming to the idea of sponsoring discussions about extraterrestrial intelligence, the SETI model — ETs are just like us, playing around with radio signals while conveniently stranded on some cosmic island far, far away — is about as far as they’ll typically extend their necks. Wednesday’s roundtable is different.
“How often does an honors class take a serious look at UFOs? John Weiskopf is to be commended for making this happen,” states Kean. “American University is breaking ground here which could help encourage other universities to do the same. Many people and departments at AU are rallying around this event and they all take the subject seriously. I hope this will pave the way for the academic community to become more objective and rational about this subject.”
To be sure, cautions Jackson, the classroom bridge into this exotic realm is built on the foundation of science fiction in popular culture. But it’s also a novel way of introducing students to AU’s School of International Service, one of the top-ranked foreign studies programs in the country.
“What are international relations about if not an encounter with ‘the other’ in some way? In this case, it would the alien,” says Jackson, who has yet to be convinced the evidence supports the ET premise. “If you look at Star Trek, whether it’s Klingons they’re dealing with or the Federation, it’s all international politics. What we want to do is stimulate intellectual creativity and promote robust discussion, not to shut it down by saying it’s prima facie absurd.”
Could a successful AU symposium signal to other universities that it’s OK to hold UFO forums without getting the cooties? “I could imagine a pathway,” Jackson says. “But let’s hold this forum and see what happens.

4th Annual UFO Crash Retrieval Conference Las Vegas, NV November 10-12, 2006 by Stanton T. Friedman
ABSTRACT
have been fortunate enough to lecture (usually “Flying Saucers ARE Real”) over 700 times in 18 countries. My audiences, mostly college and professional groups, seem to have no problem accepting the detailed factual data that I present leading to my conclusions that SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft and that the subject of flying saucers represents a kind of Cosmic Watergate. But what seems to be of most concern, judging by the Question and Answer sessions, are the “WHY?” questions. Why would saucers crash? Why would aliens visit Earth? Why doesn’t the government tell us what it knows? Why would aliens not land on the White House lawn or at the United Nations? Why would people fake MJ-12 documents? Why do you say SETI stands for Silly Effort To Investigate? Why have you kept at it for 39 years? Why hasn’t the government taken you out? Perhaps my answers will help the reader answer his “WHY?” questions, or lead to more such questions. THE UFO “WHY?” QUESTIONS
1. WHY have you concluded that the evidence is overwhelming that Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled Extraterrestrial Spacecraft?
The simplest answer is that it is the only conclusion merited by the enormous amount of evidence. In my lectures I review 5 large scale scientific studies and ask after each one how many have read it. Typically fewer than 2% have read any. I note the 5000-plus physical trace cases that Ted Phillips has collected from over 70 countries. In these people see a craft land and then take off leaving behind various markings on the soil such as burn circles, landing gear marks, small footprints, dried out rings of soil, etc. These are not crop circles where normally no saucer is seen. About 1/6 of these cases involve reports of small beings. I refer to the more than 1000 abduction cases that have been investigated by Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, John Mack, and Raymond Fowler and the Betty and Barney Hill case as recorded by John G. Fuller. I review the outstanding work by Marjorie Fish clearly indicating that Betty’s star map makes sense and provides information not previously known to us. Furthermore, I have spent time at 20 archives, had a security clearance for 14 years, and find it perfectly obvious that crucial data has been withheld and many government people have lied with regard to UFOs. Saying some UFOs are of ET origin, of course, doesn’t answer other questions such as WHY are aliens coming here, WHY haven’t I seen one, where are they from, etc., etc.
2. WHY don’t the aliens, if they are real, just land on the White House lawn and say “Take me to your leader.”?
Obviously I don’t speak for any aliens. However, let us note three facts:
A. The White House is in a forbidden flying zone. Our response to intruders in such zones is to take immediate action to escort the intruders away or shoot them down. As far back as the summer of 1952 when, in July, UFOs did fly over the White House, orders were given to military interceptors to shoot down UFOs if they don’t land when instructed to do so. This is described in detail in Frank Feschino Jr.’s new book Shoot Them Down. Major General Roger Ramey proclaimed that interceptors had been scrambled hundreds of times without any luck. As an indication of the zeal of pilots, I have heard of at least 7 specific cases in which the UFOs zapped attacking earthling aircraft. Tim Good in his new book Need to Know recounts similar cases. I am working on a claim by a pilot that UFOs took out 20 of our planes in Europe in the early 1950s.
B. It may come as a surprise to many Americans, but the President of the USA doesn’t speak for Planet Earth. After all who elected him World President? Certainly not the billion people from India or the 1.3 billion people in China. Obviously the UN also does not speak for Planet Earth, either.
C. Normally, negotiations only take place between roughly equal parties. Surely it is not difficult to see that aliens have technology far in advance of earthling technology. Their vehicles are clearly faster, more maneuverable, and have access to huge space carriers (mother ships) with lord-knows-what capability. They have no reason to negotiate when they can already do what they please.
3. WHY in the world would aliens want to come here if, as you have claimed, we are a primitive society whose major activity is clearly tribal warfare?
Answers to this question depend very much on one’s picture of the local galactic neighborhood and of the situation on our planet. The SETI cultists seem to think we are the Crown of Creation and that there may be “as many” as 50,000 civilizations in our Milky Way Galaxy, which has a few hundred billion stars. It is almost 100,000 light years across which, according to Frank Drake, means there may be another civilization “only” 1000 light years away. This would, of course, make us very special as one of the elite civilizations. I think that there are probably many advanced civilizations within our local neighborhood on planets around some of the 2300 stars within 54 light years, especially the 46 that are very similar to the sun. The driving fact here is that we have only had fancy technology for perhaps 100 years. But the earth is about 4.5 billion years old and has been suitable for life for well over a billion years.
Just down the street, 39.4 light years away, we find a pair of sun-like stars, Zeta 1 and Zeta 2 Reticuli. These are only an 1/8 of a light year apart from each other, but are a billion years older than the sun. In other words, there has been a great deal of time for other civilizations to establish themselves. Having an easily observable neighbor nearby would provide far more incentive for the development of interstellar travel than we have out here in the boondocks. My view is, per a fine analogy from physicist Beatriz Gabo Rivera, that we are like the gorillas in a nature preserve in Africa who know nothing about what is going on outside the preserve. I think aliens have been traipsing around the neighborhood for a very long time indeed. I think it is hilarious that Dr. Seth Shostak, one of the noisier SETI guys, says there is nobody at ZR 1 or ZR 2, because they were listened to by a Southern Radio Observatory 10 years ago. One would think he knows what equipment and frequency alien communicators way ahead of us would use, and that they are trying to attract our attention, which is totally absurd.
Answers also depend greatly on how difficult it is to travel within the neighborhood. If one is a SETI cultist noting (as on the terrible Peter Jennings, Feb. 24, 2005, TV mockumentary) that our fastest spacecraft is the Voyager probe and that it would take 70,000 years to get to the nearest star, trips would be very uncommon indeed. A much more realistic approach is to note that Voyager hasn’t had a propulsion system on it since it left Earth. It is coasting, helped by some cosmic freeloading. Can we estimate the time it takes to cross the ocean by throwing a bottle in? Can we tell how long it would take to fly from New York to Los Angeles by putting a feather in the air? It took Charles Lindberg 33 hours to cross the Atlantic. The Concorde did it in just a few hours. The space station goes around the entire earth in 90 minutes. Electromagnetic signals take 1/7 of a second to circumscribe the earth.
Remember, we have just started on our technological kick. Think back to 1900. Note no TV or radio or microwaves or nuclear power plants or satellites or DNA testing or lasers or computers or airplanes or rockets or nuclear weapons or transplanted organs. I am convinced that, unless we stupidly destroy ourselves, there will be a time when star travel is not considered any more far out than crossing the Atlantic on a 747 is today. I recently flew nonstop from Newark, New Jersey, to Hong Kong, China, in less than 17 hours. Nuclear submarines circumnavigate the globe without surfacing. Obviously there are those who think star travel is impossible. If that were true, which it isn’t, obviously nobody could be coming here from the stars.
Think of all the people going through O’Hare Airport in a year and the huge variety of reasons for travel. To get the ball rolling, here are some reasons for coming here. I am sure the reader can think of more:
A. Graduate students doing their thesis work on the development of a primitive society, on a planet where, amazingly, there is no planetary government, and where there are many different languages; on various strange biological specimens, or on genetic variations of the intelligent beings.
B. Broadcasters with weekly shows such as “Idiocy in the Boondocks.”
C. Mining engineers similar to those who went to California and the Klondike and Australia for gold, or to Texas and the Middle East for oil. As it happens, the earth is the densest planet in the solar system, so would be expected to have more of the rare but very important very heavy metals such as gold, uranium, rhenium, platinum, tungsten, osmium, etc. These are all much denser than lead. We know from studying star spectra that they are rare. They also have very special properties.
D. Mining engineers extracting more common metals from the nodules on the bottom of the ocean and from the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter. We have been talking about doing this. Obviously war is much more important than ocean mining to us, so we build nuclear submarines to stay in the depths of the ocean carrying their multitude of nuclear tipped missiles. There are also abundant supplies of so-called rare earths, many used in the electronics and nuclear industries. It should not be forgotten that a century ago the primary use for uranium was to prepare yellow glazes for pottery. Zirconium and titanium were essentially worthless. Now nuclear navies use zirconium based alloys because of their splendid nuclear and anticorrosion properties. Titanium is used in aircraft like the SR-71 because of its high strength and low density.
E. Operators of refueling and rest and relaxation centers on the back side of the moon or in the depths of the ocean or in the asteroid belt.
F. Visitors checking on old colonies established by their ancestors. Perhaps there were many different ones which might explain why we have black, brown, red, yellow and white races.
G. Jailers. This may be a penal colony on which aliens dropped off their bad boys and girls and that is why we are so nasty to each other. Georgia and Australia were first settled by convicts. Letting the convicts go bother other civilizations who, unlike us, have learned to live peacefully, may be a no-no in the galactic rule book.
H. Vacationers. This may be a recreation center. Notice how many people visit Hawaii and Las Vegas and Orlando. If the travel wasn’t easy, how many would venture forth to see Mickey Mouse or gaming tables or surfing beaches?
I. Specimen gathererers for ET zoos and aquariums. We are still finding new specimens.
J. Local galactic horticultural societies collecting specimens for their displays and genetic cross breeding.
K. Medical researchers. They may have to evaluate the genetic material of loads of specimens to find genetic defects or super-special genes. There are a number of conditions whose frequency in the population is quite small (for example, only one person in 14,000 has hemophilia) so many specimens must be checked.
L. Honymooners. Perhaps this is the honeymoon capital for this corner of the neighborhood. Special rates for a week on Earth… side trips to the moon and Mars…
M. Cartographers. Local neighborhood maps may describe, for example, the equivalent of English coaling stations in the 19th century.
N. Sports enthusiasts. There may be special excursions to observe various such events. Don’t forget that a World Championship Chess match was held in Iceland.
O. Scouts seeking the best site for a new amusement park in the solar system.
P. Weapons inspectors. If we make the eminently reasonable assumption that every advanced civilization is concerned about its own survival and security, than we would expect that our development of Weapons of Mass Destruction and the means for delivering them in the local neighborhood would be of great concern. Clearly after World War II it should take less than a century for us to master fission and fusion and other new technologies to allow us to take our brand of friendship/hostility… out there. Thus, a logical reason to visit is to quarantine us until we develop a technique for learning to live at peace with each other. No galactic federation new-member committee would allow us to join. Too primitive.I suspect that the SETI cultists think they would be welcome guests. Not very likely.
Q. Producers. Having worked on a lot of motion picture documentaries at many locations, I would suggest perhaps some visitors are planning epic fiction and factual movies for film companies at home… shooting on location hither and yon.
4. WHY is the government not telling what it knows?
Are they afraid of War of the Worlds panic? I hardly think so. After all, New Jersey was being destroyed by Martians. What could we do against them? Panic was not inappropriate. First we have to recognize there is a Cosmic Watergate and a long history of government lies about UFOs such as I described in Ref. 1, which lists lies from the FBI, CIA, USAF, NSA, etc. Some want to insist that (A) governments can’t keep secrets, and (B) the real secret is that they don’t know what is going on and can’t admit that either.
I disagree with both. A few examples of secret-keeping that have leaked out: The Manhattan Engineering District employed 130,000 people to develop the atomic bomb at a cost of several billion dollars in total secrecy during World War II. The Allies broke the German code during World War II and had 12,000 people working at Bletchley Park in the UK intercepting, decoding and translating German military communications. If the secret had come out, the Germans would have changed their codes. There was really nothing in public until 25 years later despite the obviously great improvements in technology. We also had broken the Japanese military codes — again in secret. With regard to B, note that the military agencies have monitoring systems that provide far more information than we civilians can obtain — and in secret.
The Naval Research Laboratory finally admitted in 1995 that it had launched a bunch of Corona electromagnetic intelligence satellites to monitor Soviet radar and communications systems starting in 1960, after 12 secret failures. The first one that worked provided more data than all the previous secret U-2 flights that preceded it. The Soviets knew about the U-2, but dared not admit that they couldn’t do anything about it. The American people had not been informed. Similarly the Soviets had shot down a number of military reconnaissance aircraft probing Russia, North Korea, and China causing the loss of 166 crew members. Their families were lied to: unfortunate accident, crashed at sea, etc. It was not until 2001 that the USA had a meeting with families of the crew members that they were told what happened, even though most of the losses occurred in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. Medals were distributed. William Burrows tells the story in his book By Any Means Necessary (Ref. 2).
The National Reconnaissance Office first admitted in 2005 that it had launched 7 Poppy satellites between 1962 and 1971. Their function was to conduct very sophisticated monitoring of electronic and radar installations on Soviet ships. Thousands of people were involved.
So yes, indeed, secrets can be kept. The annual US Black Budget is estimated at 30-40 billion dollars. That is a lot of secrecy.
So WHY keep UFOs secret?
A. All major countries and many terrorist groups would very much like to duplicate the flight technology of the saucers. They can literally fly circles around our vehicles, move at very high speed, make right angle turns, move straight up and down — typically with little noise, no visible engines, no exhaust. They would make wonderful weapons delivery and defensive systems. Since we have recovered wreckage at least as early as 1947 (see Crash at Corona, Ref. 3) we would have set up a highly classified project (call it Operation Majestic 12 as described in my book TOP SECRET/MAJIC (Ref. 4)) to try both to evaluate the wreckage and to obtain measurements of flight characteristics using airborne and spaceborne and earth-based radar sets, cameras, electromagnetic sensors, and other instrumentation. Surely governments have very much more sophisticated instruments and observation platforms than do private individuals. The key rule here is that one can’t tell one’s friends without telling one’s enemies. It appears that there have been many UFO crashes including ones overseas (Varginha, Brazil, for example). There is a long history of countries gathering and evaluating crashed vehicles of their enemies. This does not require a conspiracy; everybody has the same self interest concerns.
B. Each country worries about its enemies determining the secrets of saucer technology before they do and must be concerned about how to defend against new vehicles and also how to learn what the other guy has already learned. Soviet spies at Los Alamos apparently shortened the time it took the Soviets to test their first A-bomb (1949) by at least a year.
C. What if an announcement were made, by highly trusted individuals around the world, such as the Queen and the Pope, saying that indeed SOME UFOs are ET spacecraft? Here are some things I believe would happen:
(1) Church attendance would increase.
(2) Mental hospital admissions would increase.
(3) The stock market would go down; uncertainty is always the enemy.
(4) Based on my more than 600 college lectures, the younger generation, which, unlike me, was never alive when there wasn’t a space program, would push for a new view of ourselves as EARTHLINGS instead of as Americans, Canadians, Greeks, Peruvians, etc. Many would think that would be great. But I know of no government on Earth that wants its citizens to owe their primary allegiance to the planet (where it belongs) instead of to individual national governments. Nationalism is the only game in town. I believe that alien visitors — they may be our landlords, for all we know — think of us as earthlings even though, because of our military traffic, they would be well aware of different ruling groups in different places.
D. A small group of religious fundamentalists (Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson come to mind) have already loudly proclaimed that UFOs are the work of the devil and there is no other intelligent life outside Earth. What an insult to the notion of an all powerful GOD! They would be up the creek without a religious paddle if an announcement were to be made. They have had a great deal of political clout.
E. Making an announcement would require that governments admit they have been lying through their teeth for decades. I don’t know of any government that wants to do that.
F. If an announcement were carefully made without the scare mongering of “War of the Worlds”, a lot of people would think that surely, aliens, who can come here, must be far more advanced technologically than are we, since we can’t go out there. This would strongly suggest that soon there would be new methods of energy production, air and ground transport, computers and communication systems, i.e. economic chaos. We are not very good at large scale economic changes in a hurry. Think of the Soviet Union which, at our strong demands, had democracy, elections, freedom, capitalism. On the average, except for the high price of oil, are Russians better off today than they were 17 years ago??
G. Because I am convinced that military pilots in many countries have been disintegrated or “disappeared” by UFOs, I think governments would all be very resistant to telling their citizens that we tried to attack UFOs and they returned the favor — only they succeeded. The head of the American Rocket Society in 1952 took President Truman to task for the attack orders. Frank Feschino Jr. (Shoot Them Down) has gathered hundreds of reports of supposed airplane crashes in the USA and overseas in the early 1950s. Three military pilots, each of whom flew over 100 missions in Korea where they had to deal with marauding MIGs, crashed when they came back home. That seems very suspicious to me.
5. WHY would saucers crash?
Usually this is accompanied by a comment that it makes no sense that a sophisticated vehicle coming from many light years away could possibly crash. Please note that the vehicle could have come from a base on the back side of the moon, in the asteroid belt, on Mars or some alien “coaling station” in the local neighborhood. I once did 25 college lectures in 35 days in 15 states. I was gone all the time from when I left home until I returned rather than going back and forth to home after each lecture.
A. In the first place, there are many indications that what crashed at Roswell and in the Plains of San Agustin in New Mexico in early July, 1947, were small Earth excursion modules rather than the interstellar, very large vehicles (space carriers? mother ships?) which would have brought them to Earth just as our large aircraft carriers carry 75 or so small airplanes whose mode of propulsion is distinctly different from that of the carrier.
B. Secondly, when we examine major efforts by the Transportation Safety Board to determine the cause of aircraft crashes, we often find, after much effort, that it was simple unexpected things ranging from loose bolts, to ingested birds, to faulty wiring, to pilot error, to ice in the wrong place. It could have been very high atmospheric electricity levels because of storms or the great dryness of the desert air. Or unexpected high altitude hail. We know a radar set was on over at White Sands because of an impending rocket launch and the fact that it used vacuum tubes. This was a tracking radar pointed North. Crossing the beam might have led to a small hiccup in the control system for a magnetoaerodynamic propulsion system leading to a collision and subsequent collision of the lead saucer and its wingman’s saucer. Perhaps a US military rocket launched in the neighborhood might have inadvertently homed in on a saucer. Perhaps there was a momentary loss of attention when the Trinity highly radioactive site, at which the first atomic bomb was tested, was noted. We certainly have no reason to believe that aliens never make mistakes, or never run into the unexpected. Some day perhaps the government will release the report that was undoubtedly written as to the causes of the crashes. Just because we don’t have that report, it doesn’t mean the event didn’t take place.
6. WHY haven’t you seen a flying saucer?
I have no idea, though I have mostly lived in cities and am watching for traffic rather than looking to the skies. I check my audiences after my lectures and find that typically 10% have seen one, which covers many decades. Only 10% of those were reported. I have never seen Tokyo either or had polio or HIV. I know people who have seen Tokyo, had polio, or HIV. I spent many years chasing neutrons and gamma rays. Never saw one of them either. They are also real.
7. WHY do you say SETI stands for Silly Effort to Investigate?
Frankly I find that there is very little science behind the SETI effort. It is assumed that there are civilizations using communication technologies similar to ones we have developed to try to attract our attention. It assumes there is no colonization and no migration and that nobody is coming here. They assume that because it takes less energy to send signals than to travel, that nobody is traveling. Of course nobody flies from Newark to Hong Kong because the Internet and telephone is cheaper! Hah. It is all fancily dressed hogwash. They could easily be thousands or millions of years ahead of us. An AM radio doesn’t pick up FM signals. A German General just before the start of World War II in Europe noted (see Ref. 2) that the Brits were building a whole array of tall (more than 200') towers with cross pieces which he figured had to be part of a radar net. The Graf Zeppelin slowly moved parallel to the array and listened and found no signals. The frequency being used was 10 times higher than what the Germans were using and they fortunately were never aware of how well their planes were being tracked.
If civilizations, with a great deal of common heritage and similar background and access to similar science, can’t correctly predict the technique to be used by similar people a few hundred miles away, why assume we can second-guess aliens? They persistently say there is no evidence for UFOs, but always avoid dealing with the large scale scientific studies. Check their references. Look carefully at the Drake Equation, their Holy Grail. We have no way to determine the lifetime of a civilization, or the fraction of planets that have intelligent life or that develop technology. We have data on one “civilization” on one planet in one solar system. Real scientists don’t extrapolate or interpolate from one data point. The SETI people omit colonization and migration which could greatly lengthen the life span of a civilization. That is pseudoscience, no matter how many degreed professionals are involved. Admittedly, their job security is dependent on nobody coming here…
8. WHY hasn’t the government taken out Stan Friedman, if what he is saying about a Cosmic Watergate and overwhelming evidence that we have visitors is true?
Obviously I don’t speak for the government. I am careful in what I say, and I don’t break the law in seeking classified data from people with clearances. I may be doing exactly what they want, that is, preparing the public for the date when the great secret is released. I have never had an unlisted telephone number. It is in my books and on my website. All those lonely drives to Roswell would provide plenty of opportunity. My answering service is instructed to give out my travel information to callers. Frankly, I can’t live my life looking over my shoulder. Some have suggested I was too well known and that a sudden death would be suspicious…
9. WHY would people fake a bunch of MJ-12 documents?
I am not a psychiatrist, but I would suggest to enhance status;
to think “Gotcha”; or to disinform the public so that the fake documents would be an excuse for labeling such genuine documents as the Eisenhower Briefing Document, the Truman-Forrestal Memo, and the Cutler-Twining Memo as frauds. Or, perhaps, might it be to be able to claim that the proponents are stupid or are disinformation specialists? The same old tired false anti-MJ-12 arguments keep being put forth despite the fact that I have demonstrated that they are nonsense. The Majestic 12 article in Wikipedia is loaded with false and misleading claims. For example, in the 5000-word afterword in TOP SECRET/MAJIC 2nd Edition (2005), in “Update on Operation Majestic 12” (see www.stantonfriedman.com), in “Roswell and the MJ-12 Documents in the New Millennium” (Ref.5), and in my “Review of Case MJ-12” also on my website I demolish the anti’s and show that other MJ-12 documents are fraudulent. Remember, one of the key rules for debunkers is “Don’t bother me with the facts, my mind is made up.” Another is “Do your research by proclamation, investigation is too much trouble and the public won’t know the difference.” I distinctly showed that at least seven of the supposed MJ-12 documents provided to Timothy Cooper are emulations of real documents published in books and generally available. They were retyped, much handwritten material was Xeroxed or scanned, and the two were combined. And there were often factual misstatements. Deuterium is not light hydrogen. Sandia is in New Mexico, while General Spaatz was not in New Mexico on July 7, 1947 (I found his flight log and a newspaper article and desk calendar indicating he was in Port Aransas, Texas, fishing).
Some of the statements from the phony emulations were repeated in other documents which means the latter ones were also phony. I have been told that when good information is leaked, bad is put out so as to confuse things and imply the real ones are phony: guilt by association. It is interesting that Colonel Richard Weaver, author of the grossly misleading USAF Book The Roswell Report: Truth vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert (see Ref. 5) had as his military specialty “Disinformation.” He provided the fiction.
10. WHY have you kept at it since reading Ruppelt’s book in 1958 and giving your first lecture in 1967?
I enjoy being on the stage and the very enthusiastic response I get from my audiences, especially from the technical societies. I am pleased when people tell me that they decided to teach a course about UFOs, after hearing me talk. I can think of no subject more important to the future for my children and grandson than the notion of an earthling orientation in the hope of helping stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. What is more exciting than alien visitations and government cover-ups? I believe I bring a unique background to my presentations:
A. So far as I know I have worked on more cancelled high technology classified programs than anybody and so can deal with those silly “It would violate the laws of Physics” arguments. Not many have worked on nuclear airplanes, or in general on fission and fusion propulsion systems.
B. Because I worked on many classified programs and have visited 20 archives, I am in a better position than most to deal with the silly “Secrets can’t be kept” notions.
C. Because I have probably had to answer about 40,000 questions at lectures and on talk shows and in classes, I have been forced to think about the questions such as the “WHY?” questions, more than most.
D. I was very fortunate to be able to find that my memory was good and reliable (at least until recently) and I could give acceptable answers in a hurry. Being on debate teams in high school probably helped a lot. I have been very lucky, first to have worked on so many leading edge classified programs, and second to be able to provide so many presentations to attentive audiences.

The Pentagon wants an airborne aircraft carrier to launch drones

In the 2012 movie “The Avengers,” Captain America, the Hulk, Iron Man and the rest of the gang flew on a massive aircraft carrier that carried dozens of planes through the air and disappeared from plain view with the help of a cloaking device. The idea that the U.S. military could develop something similar is still seen as far-fetched, but this much is true: a Pentagon agency has just launched a new effort to develop an airship sure to draw comparisons.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is exploring whether it would be possible to turn an existing plane into a flying fortress capable of launching and recovering numerous drone aircraft. Doing so would extend the range of drones that gather intelligence and perform other missions while saving money and limiting the risks pilots take, DARPA officials said Sunday.
“We want to find ways to make smaller aircraft more effective, and one promising idea is enabling existing large aircraft, with minimal modification, to become ‘aircraft carriers in the sky,’” said Dan Patt a DARPA program manager. “We envision innovative launch and recovery concepts for new [unmanned aerial system] designs that would couple with recent advances in small payload design and collaborative technologies.”
Unlike the Avengers’ heli-carrier, DARPA’s sky-carrier would likely use a plane like the B-52 Stratofortress bomber, B-1B Lancer bomber or C-130 Hercules cargo plane, according to a request for information released by the agency on Friday. Companies, universities and other organizations interested in participating must submit ideas by Nov. 26 and include “system-level conceptual designs,” including a feasibility analysis.
DARPA also left open the possibility “missile-based approaches” to launching drones in its request for information, and says those interested should provide a sense for how many drones could be launched.
It’s not the first time that the U.S. military has dabbled with sky-carriers. In the 1930s, for example, the U.S. Navy launched Sparrowhawk biplanes from helium-filled rigid dirigibles built by the Goodyear-Zeppelin Company.
The two airships that launched planes, the USS Akron and USS Macon, both experienced catastrophic crashes. The Akron crashed in 1933 off the coast of New Jersey, killing 73 of 76 men on board, according to the Navy Historical Center. The Macon crashed two years later off the coast of California. Most of the service members on board survived, but the dirigible sank “effectively ending the Navy’s controversial, and trouble-plagued, program of rigid airship operations,” Navy officials said.
More recently, the Air Force investigated whether it could use a 747 jet as an aircraft carrier, commissioning a report from Boeing. The defense contractor sketched a concept in which part of the plane would be hollowed out, and “micro-fighters” would be developed to fit inside, according to briefing slides later released by the military.
We hebben de afgelopen dagen te maken gehad met vreemde toevalligheden rondom UFO's en kerncentrales.
Is er misschien ook een verband tussen de UFO's boven Kerkrade en kerncentrales?
Naast de eerdere waarnemingen uit Zuid Limburg aangaande de UFO's die in oostelijke richting naar Duitsland over Kerkrade vlogen, is er nu nog een melding. Dit keer uit Heerlen (dank!):
Het gaat om de Post van Ufo's boven kerkrade , ik heb ook dezelfde avond tegen half 12 precies deze ''lucht-voertuigen'' zien vliegen vanuit mijn kamer op de Akerstraat in Heerlen centrum en vlogen richting Hoensbroek-Brunssum.
Ik zag 2 voertuigen naast elkaar met scherp uitgesneden hoeken en 3 spotlight achtige lampen op elke punt zoals een piramide.
Dat daar die avond UFO's vlogen, daar bestaat zo langzamerhand geen twijfel meer over. Maar, wat deden ze daar?
Misschien is de volgende e-mail die wij ontvingen van een lezer (dank!) een aanwijzing:
Hierbij een berichtje wat mij opviel na het lezen van jullie artikelen over ufo's bij kerncentrales en in Kerkrade.. 20 km is hemelsbreed namelijk niet zo heel ver weg en aangezien toeval niet bestaat.. viel het mij dus op.
Het gaat hierbij om een bericht uit L1 Nieuws uit Limburg, betreffende de niet meer in gebruik zijnde kerncentrale in Jülich, net over de grens met Kerkrade.
Kerncentrale Jülich gevaarlijker dan gedacht
De reactor bij Jülich was van 1967 tot 1988 in bedrijf bij eenonderzoeksinstituut. Volgens het rapport zijn talloze incidenten geweest met de reactor. In 1978 kwam bijvoorbeeld per ongeluk 27.000 liter water in het binnenste deel van de reactor terecht. De reactor werd pas na 6 dagen uitgeschakeld.
De reactor ligt inmiddels stil, maar wie weet welke gevaren daar nog op de loer liggen. Misschien zijn de UFO's niet gerelateerd aan deze kerncentrale, maar gezien een ander bericht dat wij ontvingen uit Luxemburg (dank!) is die gedachte toch niet zo vreemd:
Toeval of niet maar ik woon in Luxemburg, en daar is sinds de begin van de maand een operatie aan de gang waar iedere burger jodium tabletten krijgt. Voor de eventuele ramp met een Franse nucleaire centrale net over de grens..
Waarom worden er nu ineens jodiumtabletten uitgedeeld aan de bevolking in Luxemburg? Waarom nu en niet bijvoorbeeld enkele jaren geleden toen die Franse kerncentrale net zo gevaarlijk was.
En zo is er gelijktijdig ook ineens sprake malware in Amerikaanse computers waarvoor nu door de autoriteiten wordt gewaarschuwd. Die in één klap het totale energienetwerk in Amerika kan platleggen.
Daarbij ook vreemde drones of UFO's die zich ophouden bij Franse kerncentrales, waarvan niemand weet wat ze daar doen en die de Franse overheid nogal in paniek hebben gebracht.
We zien een UFO opduiken bij een kerncentrale in Mexico.
UFO's bij Kerkrade, vlakbij een niet meer gebruikte, maar klaarblijkelijk gevaarlijke kerncentrale.
De bewoners van Luxemburg krijgen plots allemaal jodiumtabletten vanwege de Franse kerncentrale net over de grens.
Toch wel veel toevalligheden om nog toeval te kunnen zijn.
Eerder dit jaar hebben we kunnen zienhoe er een vreemde lichtstraal op de planeet Mars te zien was.
Dat werd door NASA afgedaan als een reflectie van de zon, maar met dit bewegende licht kunnen ze dat niet op dezelfde manier wegwimpelen.
De Mars Curiosity Rover brengt ongewild toch heel wat interessante zaken boven water.
Het maakt foto's, de één na de ander, en daarop staan steeds vaker dingen die NASA behoorlijk in het nauw drijft.
Zoals de beelden hierna waarop duidelijk een bewegend licht/orb/UFO te zien is.
Op de hierna volgende vier foto's kun je zien dat het licht verandert van positie; een teken dat het onder intelligente besturing staat.
De serie opnames waarop dit licht is te zien, bestaat in totaal uit 8 foto's. In de video hieronder kun je die in een animatie achter elkaar zien, waardoor duidelijk wordt dat het object beweegt en onder controle van iets of iemand staat.
"Ik ben 40 keer op Mars geweest en er leven zowel martianen als mensen"
“Ik ben 40 keer op Mars geweest en er leven zowel martianen als mensen”
Op het 17e internationale ufologiecongres in de Argentijnse stad Capilla del Monte werd gesproken over leven op Mars en ‘onzichtbare’ wezens. Tijdens de vierdaagse bijeenkomst, die op zondag werd afgesloten, deelden Argentijnse en buitenlandse UFO-onderzoekers persoonlijke ervaringen en opnames van contact met buitenaardse ruimteschepen met het publiek. Dat meldt persbureau Efe.
De aanwezigen reageerden geschokt op sommige onthullingen, waaronder die van de Amerikanen Andrew Basiago en Laura Eisenhower. Het tweetal zei door de Amerikaanse overheid te zijn geselecteerd voor een geheime Marsmissie. Ze werden naar eigen zeggen naar de rode planeet ‘geteletransporteerd’.
“Ik ben 40 keer op Mars geweest en er leven zowel martianen als mensen,” zei Basiago tijdens een twee uur durende presentatie in een volgepakte zaal. Zijn uitspraken leverden gemengde reacties op. “De rillingen liepen me over de rug, maar ze houden zoveel voor ons verborgen. Ik denk dat het waar kan zijn. Ik heb zelf UFO’s gezien en in mijn ogen vertellen wetenschappers de mensen bijna niets,” vertelde Mabel uit de stad Córdoba aan Efe.
Basiago kreeg bijval van Fernando Correa, een Mexicaanse astronoom en verslaggever voor het tv-programma ‘Tercer Milenio’. “Er is bewijs dat we al op de rode planeet zijn geweest. Op Google Mars is een ruimtebasis te zien,” aldus Correa.
De Mexicaanse wetenschapper ging tijdens zijn eigen lezing dieper in op videobeelden van ‘onzichtbare’ wezens en ‘schaduwen’. “Vandaag de dag moet je de zogenoemde paranormale fenomenen op een wetenschappelijke manier proberen te verklaren, terwijl ze in werkelijkheid normaler zijn dan andere fenomenen,” legde Correa uit aan het persbureau.
Argentijnse onderzoekers gaven ook presentaties tijdens de conferentie. Silvia Simondini, eigenaar van Vision Ovni in de stad Victoria, ging dieper in op analyses van fragmenten van ruimteschepen, lokale verhalen over buitenaardse ruimteschepen en UFO-waarnemingen in Argentinië.
Here is a video I came across of recent crop circles formed over Great Britain that are very detailed and complex with references to Carl Sagan’s discovery of a code that NASA sent out in the mid 70’s.
Two Detailed crop circles that appeared in Great Britain.
Could someone have done this as a huge giant prank? I think that possibility always exists, however, with these new designs of the crop circles and the complexity of it, I am not sure if someone could do it in the middle of the night without using a large light source that would attract attention.
Many people say they experience a strange euphoric feeling when standing in Crop circles and that compasses act crazy. The video does not say anything about how people feel when standing in them, but if they really are created by extraterrestrials, then maybe the euphoric feeling and the strange phenomena are caused by high radiation left over from when the crop circles are created.
Mexico seems to attract many UFO sightings, like back in June 2004, there was a massive fleet of 50-100 UFOs seen over Mexico city seen in this video.
Many Ufologists thought that this event was going to be the day it will be announced to the world that aliens do exist, however, somehow it did not happen. The Mexican government even asked the US government openly to share any information regrading UFO and aliens and/or if it had secret military crafts it was experimenting with. Publicly the US government remained silent. Some big news channels did show the phenomenon, but it was played down and not publicized widely and soon forgoten, replaced with the Bush/Kerry drama. Since 2004, there has been numerous sightings in Mexico.
Here is a very good video of a UFO filmed this past April over Mexico combined with a UFO taken in 2009.
In the video the UFO seems to “give birth” to a few smaller UFOs as they fly around the “mothership” UFO. Also filmed in 2010, is a great detailed video of an UFO that resembles Batman’s “BAT” craft he flies in the new “The Dark Knight Rises” movie, maybe that is where Nolan got the idea?
Here’s a new footage of an unknown lights hovering in the night sky above Phoenix in Arizona. This was recorded on Friday, 7th November 2014.
Witness report: We were driving from Tucson AZ to Phoenix AZ to watch a basketball game. we had just entered city limits when we noticed the strange lights. We pulled over on the freeway to take a better look. We noticed that the lights were forming different shapes and were hovering without movement. We also notice light appear and disappear. we took a small video of what we saw. we had to continue driving, but while on the road about eight lights appeared in a straight line. we did notice many helicopters close to the lights, as if they were trying to get rid of them. we continued driving North and the lights disappeared. This incident lasted about 25 minutes.
UFO mania: There Is Martian And Human Life On Mars : International Ufology Congress
UFO mania: There Is Martian And Human Life On Mars : International Ufology Congress
The four-day gathering, which ended on Sunday, drew Argentina and foreign UFO researchers who discussed progress in their work, personal experiences and audiovisual records of contacts with alien spacecraft with the nearly 200 aficionados who attended the 17th International Ufology Congress.
"We fulfilled the objective of demystifying Mars and showing that we may be closer than we think," congress organizer Luz Mary Lopez told media.
Attendees were shocked by some revelations, including those of Americans Andrew Basiago and Laura Eisenhower. Basiago, who participated in the conference, and Eisenhower, who made her presentation via Skype, said they were chosen by the government to be teletransported on secret missions to Mars.
"I was on Mars 40 times and there is Martian and human life there," Basiago said during a two-hour presentation to an auditorium packed with people who were a mix of the mesmerized, the skeptical and the excited.
"It gave me chills, but they hide so much from us, I believe it could be true. I've seen UFOs and I believe that scientists tell people almost nothing," a woman from Cordoba who identified herself as Mabel told press.
Fernando Correa, a Mexican astronomer and reporter on the "Tercer Milenio" television show, supported Basiago's story.
"There is evidence that we are already on the Red Planet, such as a Google Mars site that shows a human base there," Correa told media persons.
The Mexican scientist hosted one of the closing talks, screening security-camera videos that showed supposed "invisible" beings and "shadows" from around the world.
"Today, you have to try to explain with science the so-called paranormal phenomena that, in reality, are more normal than the rest," Correa said.
Argentine researchers also made presentations at the conference. Silvia Simondini, who runs the Vision Ovni (UFO Vision) center in Victoria, a city located 200 kilometers (124 miles) from Buenos Aires, discussed analyses done of spaceship fragments, local stories about alien spacecraft and collective UFO sightings across Argentina. The curious of all ages from across this South American country attended the congress.

WAAROM ZIE IK NOOIT UFO'S?
WAAROM ZIE IK NOOIT UFO'S?
Waarom kijkt de één iedere dag naar de lucht en ziet nooit wat, anders dan vliegtuigen en vogels?
En zien anderen juist met de regelmaat van de klok vreemde objecten vliegen?
Diegene die zelf “iets” gezien hebben veranderen vaak ineens van mening. Van een kritische scepticus geloven mensen dan plots dat er meer bestaat dan alleen wij aardbewoners.
Het is soms frustrerend voor diegenen die graag ook iets willen zien, maar hoe ze ook hun best doen ze komen niet veel verder dan sterren of vliegtuigen.
Waarschijnlijk moet het verschil in waarnemen worden gezocht in dimensies en frequenties; los van trefkans uiteraard. Het waarnemingsvermogen van de één heeft wellicht een iets breder frequentiespectrum dan de ander en is daardoor in staat beter en sneller “ongewone” dingen in het luchtruim waar te nemen.
Daaruit zou ook volgen dat, omdat het aantal UFO-waarnemingen nu overal snel toeneemt, er steeds meer mensen zijn bij wie het waarnemingsspectrum groter wordt. Een natuurverschijnsel dat ook zou kunnen verklaren waarom we ervaren dat de dimensies dichterbij elkaar komen.
Dat UFO's dimensies overschrijden, is voor ons overtuigend bewezen met de spectaculaire opname uit Mexico van een sigaarvormige UFO die met onvoorstelbare snelheid in een wolk verdwijnt en er niet aan de andere kant weer uitkomt.
Iemand die ook het “geluk” heeft altijd weer vreemde dingen in de lucht waar te nemen is een trouwe lezer uit Gent in België, die zijn waarnemingen publiceert op zijn website Above Our Heads.
We hebben reeds eerder enkele van zijn opnamen gepubliceerd en ook nu is het weer raak in Gent.
Hij stuurde ons de volgende e-mail (dank!).
Verleden vrijdagavond 07-11 zag ik bij het maken van hemelfoto’s (te Gent - Belgïe) bij prachtig maanlicht een oranje balk traag boven een overbuur z’n dak vliegen. Hiervan maakte ik een reeks beelden. Het object maakte geen geluid en van knipperlichten was niets te zien.
Bij het bekijken van de foto’s en mits de helderheid ervan op te trekken vond ik een drievoudig opgedeeld, van oranje bollen voorzien, object. Binnen de volledige reeks zijn lichte vormveranderingen te onderscheiden.
Op twee andere hemelfoto’s waren eveneens andere objecten aanwezig. Van deze beelden maakte ik kleine verduidelijkende montages welke jullie op hun échtheid kunnen natrekken en ik jullie de originele beelden via een externe server laat downloaden (de link zal volgen in een afzonderlijke mail).
Wanneer je naar één van die originele opnames kijkt dan zie je het verlichte dakraam van de buurman met daarboven wat vage stipjes.
Die voor menigeen onopvallende stipjes worden interessant als je de volgende vier opnames ziet.
Ze worden nog interessanter als je wat meer in detail naar de uitvergrotingen kijkt.
If there’s something strange flying in your neighborhood … who ya gonna call? If you’re anywhere in Europe, the only place left to call is the government UFO center in France, the last state-run publicly-funded alien hunters on the continent.
The Study Group and Information on Non-Identified Aerospace Phenomenon, orGeipan for short, is part of France’s National Centre for Space Studies headquartered in Toulouse. While the parent organization has over 1,500 employees, Geipan has a staff of four and a dozen volunteers working diligently for Xavier Passot, who says they receive an average of two UFO reports a day.
For every sighting, Geipan requires an 11-page form to be filled out in order to obtain all pertinent information, especially pictures and videos, while eliminating hoaxes and clear cases of mistaken UFO identity. The data is then posted on their website, which gets 30,000 hits per month.
The Geipan staff will conduct investigations of credible or unusual sightings. They have access to commercial and military aircraft flight paths and contacts with air traffic controllers. They contact local police and occasionally go onsite to interview both the spotters and neighbors who might be shy about admitting they saw a UFO.
After eliminating the usual suspects – balloons, meteors, drones, Chinese lanterns, too much partying, etc. – Geipan still has around 400 cases reported since the 1970s that haven’t been explained.
Is that enough to keep the Study Group and Information on Non-Identified Aerospace Phenomenon open? The UK and Denmark didn’t think so, having been the last two other European countries with UFO offices until closing them. Perhaps the notoriety of being the only UFO office left standing will be enough to convince the proud French to keep theirs open.
Stanford Scientists Observe Man Travel Out of His Body and Into Space – What He Saw Was Remarkable
A fascinating article from collective-evolution.com: NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched into space in 1972. It was the the very first spacecraft to fly directly through the asteroid belt and make observations of the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. It was also able to obtain close up images of the planet, something that scientists had never had access to before. (1)
Prior to the flyby of Jupiter by Pioneer 10, the CIA and NSA in conjunction with Stanford University were involved in what was called “Remote Viewing.” Remote viewing can be defined in multiple ways. It’s the ability of individuals to describe a remote geographical location up to several hundred thousand kilometers away (sometimes even more) from their physical location.(2)(3)(4)
A gentlemen by the name of Ingo Swann was able to successfully describe and view a ring around Jupiter, a ring that scientists had no idea existed. This took place precisely before the first ever flyby of Jupiter by NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft, which confirmed that the ring did actually exist. These results were published in advance of the rings’ discovery. (2)
The successful viewing of the ring by Ingo came after scientists observed him identify physical objects in hidden envelopes that were placed a few hundred kilometers away.
“Successful replication of this type of remote viewing in independent laboratories has yielded considerable scientific evidence for the reality of the [remote viewing] phenomenon. Adding to the strength of these results was the discovery that a growing number of individuals could be found to demonstrate high-quality remote viewing, often to their own surprise. The CIA even participated as remote viewers themselves in order to critique the protocols. CIA personnel generated successful target descriptions of sufficiently high quality to permit blind matching of descriptions to targets by independent judges.”(2) -Harold Puthoff, PhD, Stanford University
“To determine whether it was necessary to have a “beacon” individual at the target site, Swann suggested carrying out an experiment to remote view the planet Jupiter before the upcoming NASA Pioneer 10 flyby. In that case, much to his chagrin (and ours) he found a ring around Jupiter, and wondered if perhaps he had remote viewed Saturn by mistake. Our colleagues in astronomy were quite unimpressed as well, until the flyby revealed that an unanticipated ring did in fact exist.” (2) – Harold Puthoff, PhD, Stanford University
It’s remarkable to think about these extended human capacities, and what we are capable of. At the same time it’s sobering to think about how all of this information isn’t emphasized, and always kept classified and hidden from the human race. It makes you wonder what other information out there remains classified that we don’t know about yet, and what other truths the remote viewing program has uncovered.
The Above Information Was Documented. Here’s What Wasn’t.
Here is a quote from Ingo’s book Penetration, where he goes into detail about phenomenon that was not documented in the literature cited throughout this articles.
“It’s one thing to read about UFOs and stuff in the papers or in books. It is another to hear rumors about the military or government having an interest in such matters, rumors which say they have captured extraterrestrials and downed alien space craft. But it’s quite another matter to find oneself in a situation which confirms everything. I found towers, machinery, lights buildings, humanoids busy at work on something I couldn’t figure out (on the back side of the moon)”
The information now available in the public domain regarding the government experiments with remote viewing were declassified in 1995, but who knows how much of the program’s information remains classified. Ingo had expressed that the program was shut down because it was one of the biggest threats to government secrecy.
It’s quite remarkable that this information was kept secret for over 20 years. Prior to 1995, the public had absolutely no idea that this type of thing was going on, it was a special access program, part of the black budget, which still today deals with projects and information the human race knows nothing about. You can read read more about the black budget HERE.
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” – Nikola Tesla
Science has indeed studied non-physical phenomenon, for a very long time. Unfortunately, much of this science has been locked up within the classified world, and the remote viewing program (one of many) is a great example of that.
Founder Of Skeptic’s Society Rattled After Witnessing A Paranormal Event (Michael Shermer)
Founder Of Skeptic’s Society Rattled After Witnessing A Paranormal Event (Michael Shermer)
Michael Shermer is a well respected man amongst his community. He is the founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine, a monthly columnist for Scientific American, a regular contributor to Time.com, and Presidential Fellow at Chapman University. He is very skeptical and scientific by nature and until now had never had a supernatural or paranormal experience.
“I just witnessed an event so mysterious that it shook my skepticism.” Michael Shermer
A Shift In Perspective
In his 2006 TED talk, we see a very skeptical and almost condescending Shermer. Nonetheless his talk is certainly an interesting one and well worth watching. Although much of the time he pokes fun at “odd” theories, he makes some good points about how we choose to see and hear things and form beliefs as a result.
On an observational level it is still interesting to hear someone, who clearly has a bias towards certain subjects, call out others who have bias’ in an attempt to explain why we believe weird things. For example, he pokes fun at something like UFO’s and aliens stating “it’s very likely they are not real.” He does this in a manner that some skeptics do where they use words to divert from the evidence and call upon the more ridiculous claims in an attempt to debunk the entire phenomenon. Perhaps he hasn’t seen the abundant evidence that exists including declassified government documents on the subject?
Either way the point here is simply that from a standpoint of discovery, sticking true to the scientific method is important in all cases when we’re looking for external validation of an idea. Leaving bias or methodology to prove a point by finding the most obscene examples of a theory out of the equation is the best bet. Being skeptical is OK, but being a skeptic in true form does not mean being closed minded, it simply means being open to questioning and exploring new ideas without simply believing it.
From his talk I can see why so many skeptics are not humble in their beliefs and often feel superior to others who don’t share the same beliefs. It almost seems to be ‘skeptic culture.’ But given his latest experience, perhaps Michael will have an entirely different view towards some of the claims others have made during his career?
His Recent Supernatural Experience
Here’s his story as he wrote in an article entitled Infrequencies. It was also published in Scientific American.
“The event took place on June 25, 2014. On that day I married Jennifer Graf, from Köln, Germany. She had been raised by her mom; her grandfather, Walter, was the closest father figure she had growing up, but he died when she was 16. In shipping her belongings to my home before the wedding, most of the boxes were damaged and several precious heirlooms lost, including her grandfather’s binoculars. His 1978 Philips 070 transistor radio arrived safely, so I set out to bring it back to life after decades of muteness. I put in new batteries and opened it up to see if there were any loose connections to solder. I even tried “percussive maintenance,” said to work on such devices—smacking it sharply against a hard surface. Silence. We gave up and put it at the back of a desk drawer in our bedroom.
Three months later, after affixing the necessary signatures to our marriage license at the Beverly Hills courthouse, we returned home, and in the presence of my family said our vows and exchanged rings. Being 9,000 kilometers from family, friends and home, Jennifer was feeling amiss and lonely. She wished her grandfather were there to give her away. She whispered that she wanted to say something to me alone, so we excused ourselves to the back of the house where we could hear music playing in the bedroom. We don’t have a music system there, so we searched for laptops and iPhones and even opened the back door to check if the neighbors were playing music. We followed the sound to the printer on the desk, wondering—absurdly—if this combined printer/scanner/fax machine also included a radio. Nope.
At that moment Jennifer shot me a look I haven’t seen since the supernatural thriller The Exorcist startled audiences. “That can’t be what I think it is, can it?” she said. She opened the desk drawer and pulled out her grandfather’s transistor radio, out of which a romantic love song wafted. We sat in stunned silence for minutes. “My grandfather is here with us,” Jennifer said, tearfully. “I’m not alone.”
Shortly thereafter we returned to our guests with the radio playing as I recounted the backstory. My daughter, Devin, who came out of her bedroom just before the ceremony began, added, “I heard the music coming from your room just as you were about to start.” The odd thing is that we were there getting ready just minutes before that time, sans music.
Later that night we fell asleep to the sound of classical music emanating from Walter’s radio. Fittingly, it stopped working the next day and has remained silent ever since.”
How We Can Relate To Others
Given Michael can say he now has first hand experience of something supernatural that he cannot explain or simply set aside with some “logical” explanation, it’s quite possible he can now better relate to people who truly deeply and completely believe something unexplainable that they have experienced. Even in his latest 2010 TED talk, Michael still felt that believing in alien abductions was absurd, but what about those who claim to have experienced it? What would they say to that? Is it fair to say all who have claimed it are simply crazy?
It’s sometimes very easy for us to discredit, set aside or be skeptical of experiences we didn’t have yet others had. It’s almost become “cool” and “intelligent” to simply come up with a logical explanation even when it doesn’t truly explain what happened. Nonetheless, it’s OK to be skeptical, we simply need to keep our ego in check at the same time and keep an open mind to the fact that putting a logical explanation on something doesn’t prove it false or incorrect. When we do this we simply close off a lot of possibility vs truly exploring it.
I think it’s powerful that Michael has had this experience and I also feel it’s a timely one. I believe we are in the midst of something huge here on earth. I feel we are experiencing a shift in global consciousness that will transform the way we view many facets of our lives. Although this view has been somewhat perverted and misunderstood by belief systems and mismanaged movements (new-age), I feel it has a lot of validity and this can be seen both scientifically and through direct experience. I talk about this in my TEDx talk.
Interestingly, Shermer ended his piece off with something very important.
“The emotional interpretations of such anomalous events grant them significance regardless of their causal account. And if we are to take seriously the scientific credo to keep an open mind and remain agnostic when the evidence is indecisive or the riddle unsolved, we should not shut the doors of perception when they may be opened to us to marvel in the mysterious.”
Although it didn’t come with some backlash already form a commenter
“Michael,
I was embarrassed to read your concluding paragraph. What are we to keep an open mind about? That Jennifer’s dead grandfather maybe fixed the radio? Did he even know how to fix radios? Wouldn’t there be an easier way for the dead to communicate with the living? It would be mildly interesting to have an electronics expert determine exactly what is wrong with the radio.
Regards,
–Mark”
Embarrassed? Because suddenly one of the biggest skeptics in the world is open to the possibility that there is more to life than just what we can measure?
HUGH TRIANGLE BLOCKS OUT THE STARS IN INDIANA 10-8-14 …… NEWBURGH INDIANA
Shape: Triangle –
Duration: less than 1 minute.
Very large triangle shaped craft over southern Indiana. My wife and I watch for shooting stars several times a week. Tonight we saw an orange light coming quickly from east to west. As it got closer it shifted into three lights. It appeared to be 200-300 feet long and maybe 100 feet wide. It made some sound, but was not loud like a jet. It looked similar to jets flying in formation, but when it was directly overhead we could see it was solid and blocked out stars as it passed in front of them. It was maybe half the altitude that the planes fly above our home. It was maybe half the altitude that the planes fly above our home. When it was roughly 1/2 mile past us it made a 90 degree turn and went northeast quickly. My 14 year old son also saw it. His take was it looked like a star destroyer from Star Wars. The two lights in the rear were rectangular and were taller than they were wide. The light on the front was thin and horizontal.
This all happened with a very bright full moon so we could easily see the shape. Needless to say we are all freaked a little. We got on google to see if anyone else saw anything and found this site.
