Auto verdwijnt in parallel universum

Dat auto's van het ene op het andere moment verdwijnen in sinkholes dat is intussen bekend. Ook dat ze vedwijnen om te sterven als ze niet worden verkocht, naar giga begraafplaatsen.

Een auto die gewoon op straat rijdt en ineens spontaan verdwijnt in een andere dimensie, dát zien we zéker niet iedere dag.

Toch is dit wat er volgens veel mensen gebeurde enkele dagen geleden in het kleine plaatsje Cavalier in de Amerikaanse staat Noord Dakota.

Gedurende de nacht wordt het weinige verkeer in de hoofdstraat van het dorp gefilmd door een CCTV camera.

Zo ook deze avond en op een zeker moment zie je een auto die rustig komt aanrijden en dan van het ene op het andere moment verdwijnt in een soort verblindende lichtstraal. Het lijkt alsof de auto er compleet in verdwijnt.

De onderstaande video is op dit moment het onderwerp van een wereldwijde discussie over de vraag of de video echt is of niet. Zoals gewoonlijk zijn de meningen weer erg verdeeld.

De ene helft denkt dat er met de beelden is geknoeid en de andere is ervan overtuigd dat het echt is.

Van die laatste groep denkt een deel weer dat de auto als het ware wordt opgezogen door een UFO en een ander deel denkt dat we hier te maken hebben met een voertuig dat in een andere dimensie verdwijnt.

Ervan uitgaande dat de beelden echt zijn dan is dat laatste een aannemelijke theorie. We zien de laatste tijd diverse voorbeelden van hoe dimensies steeds dichter bijelkaar komen.

Het zou natuurlijk ook nog een geval van teleportatie kunnen zijn, maar omdat de auto tot op heden niet op een andere plaats is opgedoken lijkt dit niet waarschijnlijk.

Zo zal iedereen een eigen mening hebben. Wat deze beelden in ieder geval doen is een discussie losmaken over andere mogelijkheden dan wat we normaal gesproken gewend zijn in onze 3D wereld.

Ook daarmee is het mysterie natuurlijk niet opgelost.

1947 "Smoking Gun" Evidence?

http://www.wtop.com/?nid=41&sid=3741410&pid=0&page=1

UFO experts say 'we are not alone'

WASHINGTON -- UFOs were the topic of a panel discussion Wednesday night at American University, and one of the speakers used the occasion to reveal evidence he called a "smoking gun."

"We have come into possession of a couple of Kodachrome color slides of an alien being lying in a glass case," author and researcher Thomas Carey told the near-capacity crowd in Abramson Recital Hall. 

He's been researching the 1947 Roswell incident since 1991. 

"What's interesting is, the film is dated 1947.  We took it to the official historian of Kodak up in Rochester, New York, and he did his due diligence on it, and he said yes, this filmstrip, the slides are from 1947. It's 1947 stock. And from the emulsions on the image, it's not something that's been Photoshopped like today. It's original 1947 images, and it shows an alien who's been partially dissected lying in a case."

Carey says the being looked like what he thought an alien from the famous Roswell incident would look like. 

"3 and a half to 4 feet tall, the head is almost insect-like. The head has been severed, and there's been a partial autopsy; the innards have been removed, and we believe the cadaver has been embalmed, at least at the time this picture was taken. The owners of the slide -- it's an amazing story. The woman was a high-powered Midland, Texas, lawyer with a pilot's license.  We think she was involved in intelligence in World War II, and her husband was a field geologist for an oil company."

Carey says he plans to reveal the images early next year. 

Another panelist, Dr. Richard Haines, is a retired NASA scientist and co-founder of NARCAP (National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena), which provides pilots with an anonymous way to report sightings they can't explain.  

"We're pretty ignorant yet about what we're dealing with. And that's the birth of a science. That's how most sciences begin," he said. 

Haines says NARCAP has collected hundreds and hundreds of UFO cases. 

"Our government is not taking the subject seriously. My role, or mission, if you will, is to bring this to the attention of our aviation world, at the union level, at the airline level and at the government level. I'm finding hardly any difficulty doing that in foreign countries.  I'm having a great deal of difficulty in America, and I don't know why."

Leslie Kean is an investigative journalist, co-founder of the Coalition for Freedom of Information and author of the New York Times bestseller "UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record."  

She wrote her first story about UFOs in 2000. 

"My whole life was changed at that point. I was so compelled and so interested and so curious about this UFO phenomenon, because the more I studied it, the more I realized that you couldn't write it off. … It's not like you learn ways of explaining it. You learn more and more about the mystery of it, and the incredible documentation that's out there," she said. 

During her presentation, she detailed several interesting UFO cases, and showed some photographs, including one of a shiny, circular object.

"This is an incredible photograph that was taken over Costa Rica in 1971 by a government plane, a mapping plane, that had a camera strapped underneath the aircraft.  And every 17 seconds it took a photograph of the ground. The dark area is a lake, and ... the lighter area is the land, and over that lake there's a disc-shaped object."

Kean says Chile and France have full-time government staffers who do nothing but seriously investigate UFO cases, and she thinks the same is needed in the U.S.

"I'm trying to make the point that our scientists need to get more involved. In order for that to happen, we need a government agency here that will open the doors to allowing our scientists to engage with this topic."  

The most riveting presentation of the night came from retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Charles Halt, one of the witnesses of a famous series of UFO sightings in England in 1980 known as the Rendlesham Forest incident.  

Halt says he went into the forest to check out a report that a UFO had landed there. He saw three indentations in the ground that were spaced evenly, and a Geiger counter showed abnormally high levels of radiation in the area.

During this investigation, Halt says, he and several other military members saw a flying, oval-shaped object that glowed bright orange and red, and seemed to be dripping like molten metal. 

"We're standing there in awe. I said, 'There's got to be an explanation. Ball lightning, or who knows what.'  It starts to move. It moves towards us.  It comes into the forest.  It's moving through the trees horizontally, bobbing up and down as necessary to miss the trees.  I'm thinking, ‘Oh boy. I wish I hadn't come out here. This is really getting beyond me.'" 

He says they watched it for a few minutes, until something happened. 

"Suddenly and silently, it explodes into five white objects like fireworks, and it's gone." 

Halt closed out his presentation this way:

"If I could leave you with one thing, I'd say keep an open mind, and we are not alone. I can assure you."

NOTED SKEPTIC, PROFESSOR BELIEVED ABDUCTED BY ALIENS  by Michael Horn.

James McGaha (pronounced McGayHay), an astronomer from the Grasslands Observatory in Southeastern Arizona, was recently quoted as saying, "You know the whole UFO phenomenon is nothing but myth, magic and superstition, wrapped up in this idea that somehow aliens are coming here either to save us or destroy us." While not entirely incorrect, McGaha also stated that evidence in one UFO-related case was actually due to spider webs, which in fact can be the cause of such sightings, according to information from Billy Meier. More...

ENOCHIAN MAGICK AND CONVERSING WITH ANGELS by Sean Casteel. 

The following are some excerpts from Sean Casteel’s contribution to the new Global Communications book “Angel Spells – The Enochian Occult Workbook of Charms, Seals, Talismans and Ciphers.” The other contributors are Tim Beckley, William Oribello and Maria D’Andrea.

BRET LUEDER'S A UFO HUNTER'S GUIDE: A BOOK REVIEW by Edward Crabtree.

Doing UFOs once seemed a breeze. A Mrs L R Wentworth in Suffolk would be tending to her roses. She would look and see a floating disk -`like a big upside down cake`. This might then zoom away at `supersonic` speed in a `northeasterly direction`. Writing up the account, a gentleman in sensible rain wear and a background in drainage inspection called Nigel, would speculate: `The only explanation I can find for this is that it was an emissary from another star system`.  More.

THE MONTE GRANDE CONSPIRACY CONTINUES  by Scott Corrales.

Three years removed from the terrible explosion that caused one death and the total destruction of two dwellings, there are still too many issues regarding the causes behind the mysterious explosion whose magnitude overwhelmed all mathematical calculations. Official inquiries ascribed it to a gas leak in a domestic oven. However, many consider that the whole truth has not been told about what happened on 26 September 2011 in the 9 de Abril district of Monte Grande (Esteban Echeverría prospect). More...

INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION HAS ALIEN CRAFT ATTACHED TO IT  by F Carlton McLean Jr.

After a yellowish looking elongated object (UFO) had attached itself onto the International Space Station (and was not fully explained)! Bill Clinton came out to announce that he thought that we humans would be seeing aliens not too far off in the future. Bill Clinton placed himself onto the UFO hero list by making this statement.

MIKE WOOLEY DISCUSSES BIGFOOT: AGGRESSIVE AND DANGEROUS by Chris Holly. 

I have been watching as the Bigfoot mystery continues to spread across the world with more sightings, more TV shows, and more people searching to find this elusive large hairy creature. I became friends with Mike Wooley when I interviewed him concerning a terrifying Bigfoot experience he had while deer hunting a few years ago. Mike survived a face to face encounter with two large angry Bigfoot creatures. Mike was lucky to live through that day. I wrote his story about that frightening incident and will include it with this article. More..

Radicals hunting more power rely primarily on general public ignorance and fear. They are frequently rewarded well with excellent dividends for such established dependence on social unawareness.  More...

IMPS, GODDESSES AND LEGENDS OF ENTITIES FROM THE SPIRITUAL REALMS OF EARTH  by Deanna Jaxine Stinson.

Everything about our world is magical because it still retains some form of mystery. The stories that we ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge in the Christian bible may have opened our eyes but it didn't reveal everything. There is a mystical realm attached to ours. It is the realm you played in as a child; where you saw trolls, fairies and ghosts. I have kept my psychic abilities by meditating, writing down my dreams and researching endlessly this realm of magic. I have studied many different religions and spiritual practice like yoga and ceremonies of light from all religions I am drawn to this world. More....

YOU AND YOU ALONE  by Louis Hart.

There is a lot of moaning and groaning about the state of the world, the ineptness of the government, the crappy attitude of their employees, the unjust tax rates, police brutality, and maybe even the unreasonable price of candy bars. And on and on and on. Oh, and let’s not leave out global warming. That’s a big one and will be until the global freeze hits and catches the experts with their collective pants down. More...

WE NEED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES  by Ron Murdock.

The Lottery, written by Shirley Jackson, was a short story that involved a yearly ritual stoning that was to guarantee a good crop would be harvested later that summer. Like such a lottery really would make a difference one way or another. The main point of The Lottery is how people can be swayed so easily to be part of the herd mentality. Participants in this story did so willingly though it could be termed morally offensive and repugnant. People join in events, like the above lottery, as it could be termed essential to public order and/or as a form of community bonding. The event could be prolonged to increase the drama and group satisfaction.  More...

UFO mania: Zhitkur Underground Base, Russia’s Area 51

Kapustin Yar was the former Soviet Union’s most sensitive air base, even exceeding America’s Area 51 for the levels of secrecy that shrouded it. UFO Filesclaimed that it was to present never-before-seen footage of the base, reconnaissance photos and even a virtual tour of its hidden depths.

In 1948, less than a year after the famed Roswell Incident, the base’s radar operators picked up an unidentified object. At the same time, a fighter pilot flying close to the base had a visual sighting of a silver, cigar-shaped object. Reporting that he was being blinded by rays from the UFO, the pilot was ordered to engage with it and, after a three minute dogfight, a missile successfully brought down the object. It seems that the UFO fired some sort of energy weapon at the MiG and both craft crashed to the ground.

William J Birnes, publisher of the American UFO Magazine, believed that the alien craft fired a particle beam weapon at the Soviet fighter, but a lucky shot with the missile disrupted the UFO’s anti-gravity field, causing it to fall from the sky. Soviet recovery teams quickly gathered up all the wreckage and transported it to the underground facility at Kapustin Yar, which was ironically named Zhitkur, after the former town not far from the base.

On 15th August, 1663, a great fiery disc came down from the sky and began shooting beams of light into the Robozero Lake near Belozersk, about 250 miles east of St. Petersburg.

Most researchers outside of Russia, including Stanton Friedman, were convinced that this was a natural event and nothing to do with aliens or UFOs, but Russian ufologists, such as Nikolai Subbotin of the Russian UFO Research Station, were not so sure. Subbotin explained how the object apparently changed course twice before exploding, something a natural object such as a meteorite or comet cannot do. Then there were unexplained radiation levels in the region and the fact that plant life appears to have been altered because of this radiation.

Getting back on track, we were told that research is still ongoing at Kapustin Yar, with UFO wreckage being brought to Zhitkur quite regularly and as recently as 1997, when a craft was said to have come down in Poland.

NASA confirms ‘fireball’ lights up Texas sky

(Before It's News)

Scientists at NASA have confirmed that a ball of light seen streaking across the Texas skies Saturday was a meteor and one so bright they call it a “fireball.”Hundreds reported seeing the bright green ball of light crossing the night sky above San Antonio, the event was even captured on video by a Hewitt policedashboard camera.The meteor is clearly visible in that and in another video posted by a YouTube user after the sighting just before 9 p.m. Saturday.“This was definitely what we call a fireball, which by definition is a meteor brighter than the planet Venus,” Dr. Bill Cooke, head of NASA’s meteoroid environment office, told a news conference Sunday.“This event was so bright that it was picked up on a NASA meteor camera in the mountains of New Mexico over 500 miles away, which makes it extremely unusual,” he said, according to CNN reports of the news conference. “This was a very bright event.”The meteor appears for several seconds, one enormous ball of light followed by the streak of a tail.It prompted hundreds of calls to local authorities including the National Weather Service.“All of them received reports of seeing a meteor,” said Trevor Boucher, meteorologist with the NWS. Officials at the weather service also shared a video of the event on their social media pages.

NASA officials studying the sighting have estimated the metoer was at least 4 feet wide and weighed more than 4,000 pounds, according to CNN. It burned five times brighter than a full moon.Cooke told reporters it is possible that parts of the fireball hit the ground. Maverick County Sheriff’s Department reported that NWS had confirmed the ground shook at around 8:45 p.m. Saturday.“It could have been a sonic boom,” Boucher said. “We won’t know for sure if there was an impact on Mexico’s side.”

NASA is now investigating where the meteor came from. Cooke said it may be fallout from the North Taurid meteor shower, which is apparently going on right now. Other ideas suggest it was part of a piece from the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, CNN said.

“A city dweller in the U.S. might expect to see events this bright once or twice per year,” Cooke said in the news conference. “This one was around 8:40, so there were a lot of people outside and those events get a lot of notice, there would have been far fewer reports if it happens around 3 a.m.”

Ultra Top Secret + UFOs And Army Affair Revealing Documentary  (Video)

(Before It's News)

(N.Morgan) In the secret and classified world of government agencies, the military branches are the ones who know the most damning and dangerous secrets, perhaps. This latest documentary reveals some of the shocking secrets kept about UFOs and alien life forms,kept ultra classified, until now. Some researchers found that in the U.S. Army’s cache of declassified documents released via FOIA in 1994, you will find a 339 page collection of documents available on the U.S. Army website.The bulk of those documents consisted of the U.S. Army’s investigation into the origins of “flying saucer” research in Germany, originating with the research of the “Horten Brothers” – Walter and Reimar Horton who developed advanced “flying wings” for Germany during the 1940s. The interesting fact about those investigations was that the timeline has a direct link to that of the Roswell crash in July of 1947.

On July 8, 1947, the public information office of the Roswell Air Field made the now-famous announcement that they’d recovered a “flying disc”. This announcement was, just as famously, recanted. Everything that followed is shrouded in mystery, allegations of cover-up, and fabrications, lies and baseless conclusions on the part of both skeptics and believers. However, the Army CIC documents provide some interesting clues as to what was really going on inside the military immediately following the event. The reality is that the UFO sightings throughout 1947 and 1948 triggered a massive investigation into the work of German scientists during WWII on secret flying saucers.

NASA’s Edgar Mitchell: Aliens Exist & Government Cover Up is Real, Fox News

(Before It's News)

Who would have guessed that Fox News, the conservative station founded by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whom of which has been under fire recently, had NASA’s Edgar Mitchell explained to Americans that Aliens exist and that there is a real Government Cover Up.

Of course towards the end the anchors started to make fun of “small green men” living on Mars and drinking water, however, Mitchell doesn’t seem at all fazed by it.

What gets me how do people make fun of an astronaut that says Aliens are real? I mean how much more proof do you need. This isn’t some armchair scientist who is looking through a hand-me-down telescope seeing weird things in the sky, this guy has a Master of Science degree in aeronautical engineering from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and a Doctor of Science degree in aeronautics and astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

How many people in America even know what aeronautical engineering even is? How can we not take all of these astronauts seriously?

Buzz Aldrin and Gordon Cooper, have both said that they have seen UFOs but that Buzz wouldn’t comment on “little green men,  however, he did say that  we are diffidently not alone in the universe.

UFO mania: ESA Confirms That Comet 67P Does Transmit A Radio Signal Song. Hear it on video

Date of announcement: Nov 2014
Comet name: Comet 67P
Announcement made by ESA
Source 1: http://www.examiner.com/article/mystery-signal-from-rosetta-comet-confirmed-by-european-space-agency
Source 2: http://new.livestream.com/ESA/cometlanding

This is an exciting announcement folks. The ESA has announced this week that Comet 67P has been sending radio signals. In my opinion this is not a code. It is how a species of aliens communicate to one another without speaking. A form of telepathy put into primitive radio signals. Its the only way this species can communicate to us. This is their thoughts. They don't talk. They look like the 1 meter tall greys, but with a skin that has a tint of brown. Yeah, I have heard this sound before. Listen to the video below to hear the signal...the song as they call it. A repeated message.

Because this signal was put into radio transmissions, a very primitive technology to send messages with...the signal had to have been made for humanity. Getting a copy of the full message and then translating it should be of utter importance. Is it a message of greetings? Or is it a warning of whats to come? We the people of the world need to find out.

The Examiner.com states:
The European Space Agency (ESA) today confirmed that it was receiving a mysterious signal from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. In a post on its live streaming website, it described the signal as a “mystery song” and uploaded a recording with the caption: “Hear our comet sing.” The confirmation follows months of rumors that the Rosetta mission was originally sent to explore a radio signal from the comet first detected 20 years ago. The November 12 landing of the Rosetta mission’s Philae probe will be live streamed to the world. The ESA’s surprise announcement hints that the significance of the landing may go well beyond the historic first of humanity landing a probe on a comet. (Read much more at source).

Area 51 Is The Yin To Roswell’s Yang

Desert Companion - Out there

Story by George Knapp

Twenty-five years ago this month, the author opened the door on Area 51. The story could hardly have been stranger had he found the aliens

A buzz was building inside the Kulturhuset, a community center built on Islands Brygge, the historic property on the waterfront of Copenhagen’s harbor. Inside the hall, an audience of more than 120 Danes, Norwegians, Germans and Brits were waiting to hear about a mystery that first surfaced on Las Vegas television 25 years ago. What’s the latest about Area 51, they wanted me to tell them — and whatever happened to that flying-saucer guy Bob Lazar?

Few people know better than I do how outlandish the Lazar story sounded when his tale of a secret Nevada base housing UFOs exploded onto the scene back in November 1989. To this day, it is still a bit befuddling to me that educated professionals, artists, musicians and retirees from all around Europe would gather to hear the latest scuttlebutt about the flying saucers supposedly housed in a secretive facility in the Nevada desert.

The Exopolitics Denmark conference, a two-day gathering in October, wasn’t the first to focus on the subject, and it won’t be the last. Area 51 is known around the world. Every day I receive letters, emails or phone calls from curious people in Ecuador, Iceland, Hong Kong, Russia or other far-flung places asking about Area 51 or the bookish whistleblower who put it on the map.

And that’s exactly what Lazar did. Today, Area 51 is an oxymoron of the highest order — the world’s best-known secret base. It has been mentioned in such blockbusters as The Da Vinci Code, National Treasure, an Indiana Jones sequel and Independence Day, in which Earthlings used the base to fight off an alien invasion. It’s been featured in “X-Files” episodes, inspired dozens of books, hundreds of magazine articles, songs, cartoons, poems and business enterprises.

Earlier this year, former President Clinton talked about his interest in aliens and Area 51 on the Jimmy Kimmel show. President Obama became the first sitting president to mention the name of the base — during a ceremony honoring Shirley MacLaine.

Heck, even the Kardashians visited the outskirts of the base for their reality show.

There are several businesses named after Area 51 — a rock ’n’ roll band, a couple of bars, a video game, a fireworks company, jerky stores, inflatable love dolls, a dance troupe, art exhibits and the Las Vegas triple A-baseball team. After my first televised interview with Lazar, the most prominent business in Rachel, Nev., wisely changed its name from the Rachel Bar and Grill to the Little A’Le’Inn, selling T-shirts, posters, Groom Lake wine and Bob Lazar Christmas tree ornaments, along with “Beam Me Up, Scotty” drinks at the bar and Alien Burgers in the kitchen.

The story as told by Lazar has not only persisted but has blossomed, despite overtly hostile treatment by major media outlets and some of the best-known honchos of Ufology. Many of my journalism colleagues have worked their ink-stained panties into pretzel-thick bunches by fretting about the story. Nonetheless, since the saucer stuff burst into the public consciousness, every major media organization, program and paper in the world has, sometimes reluctantly, beaten a path to Area 51’s once-obscure door. The attention has irritated some of my fellow reporters to the breaking point.

The nonexistent military base

"Sometimes I really do regret it.” On the media screen inside the Denmark hall, attendees are intently watching an edited clip of an interview with Lazar. “I almost feel like apologizing to them, saying, ‘I’m sorry. Can I have my job back?’”

It’s far too late for that — assuming he ever had a job out there in the first place. Whatever anonymity Area 51 enjoyed evaporated forever the moment Lazar spoke into a TV camera.

That first interview was broadcast in May 1989. Lazar’s face was hidden and he used a pseudonym, Dennis. He claimed he worked intermittently at a location called S-4, south of Groom Lake, the main facility of Area 51. He said nine aircraft hangars had been built into the side of a mountain, adjacent to Papoose dry lake, disguised to look like the desert floor. Inside were nine flying saucers of alien origin. “Dennis” said the program was controlled by the U.S. Navy and that he and other scientists were taking the saucers apart to figure out how they worked — “reverse engineering,” he called it.

Eight months later, on Nov. 10, KLAS-TV identified Lazar by name and showed his face as part of a series called “UFOs: The Best Evidence.” To this day, it ranks as the highest rated, most-watched local news program ever produced here. Within days, Lazar’s claims had spread to Europe and Japan. TV crews and tabloid outfits flocked to Nevada. Tour buses filled with UFO enthusiasts staked out the deserts of the Tikaboo Valley. The guards, nicknamed “camo dudes,” who patrol the perimeter of Area 51 were overwhelmed by all the attention, and ticked off, too.

Before that first broadcast, the only people familiar with the name of the base were folks who worked there or at the Nevada Test Site, or who lived in one of the remote communities of central Nevada. A few journalists had written bits and pieces about the base in the ’60s and ’70s. Aviation magazines speculated about spy planes that might be flying out of Groom Lake: the sleek SR-71 Blackbird, the gangly and magnificent U-2 and a strange craft rumored to be nearly invisible to radar. Among the handful of Nevada journalists with an interest in the base were two Las Vegas muckrakers, Bob Stoldal and Ned Day, who years later would become my bosses.

Acting on a tip from a former CIA pilot and Area 51 watcher named John Lear, Day and Stoldal broke a big story about the existence of the stealth fighter, which, they reported, had been developed and tested at Area 51. Federal lawmen hauled Day in for questioning about the source of his information. Stoldal was nabbed by military security on the outskirts of the base. In the early ’80s, when they hired me to work at KLAS-TV, they told me intriguing stories about the ominous military base known by many names — The Ranch, The Box, The Watertown Strip and, best of all, Dreamland. By then the base had vanished from maps of the Test Site. The government began to pretend it didn’t exist, even though it had been acknowledged by the military as early as 1955 and had been photographed by Russian satellites. It became readily apparent that intelligence agencies and the military were flat out lying to the public, and, as lies go, it wasn’t very convincing.

'There is no delusion'

In Copenhagen, I told the audience that it no longer matters to me whether anyone believes Lazar’s wild tale. (That’s almost true.) For years after the story broke, it was a burning priority for me to try to convince the public — and my skeptical colleagues — that the story was legitimate and true. Not anymore.

These days, I focus on explaining why we took the story seriously in the first place, why we put our credibility on the line and how the tale subsequently took on a life that no one could have imagined. Like it or not, the Lazar meme is alive and well.

“Look, I’m not out there giving UFO lectures or producing tapes. I’m not in the UFO business,” Lazar told me in an interview recorded this year at my home. “I’m trying to run a scientific business, and if I’m The UFO Guy it makes it really difficult for me. It is to my benefit that people don’t believe the story. So when somebody says that they don’t believe my story, I say, ‘Great. Pass it around. I don’t want you to believe it because it makes life difficult for me.’”

These days, he owns a scientific supply company in Michigan. He doesn’t grant interviews and has done his best to put the whole episode behind him. He makes an occasional exception for me, mostly because of the strange road we have traveled together and the wars that have been fought in the odd little universe of Ufology.

“Look, I know what happened is true,” Lazar says. “There is no doubt. Period. There is no delusion.”

“Bob wouldn’t go to the trouble to make up a story to lie to people and then perpetuate that lie,” adds his close friend Gene Huff, a Las Vegas real-estate appraiser. “I mean, he lives in his own world and doesn’t care what people think. Bob has no idea who won the Super Bowl last year, or the World Series. He’s busy doing scientific stuff in Bob Lazar World and would not waste his time perpetuating a lie about UFOs.”

When KLAS decided to pursue Lazar’s claims, we spent eight months looking into his background and the larger story about UFOs at Area 51. On the surface, Lazar seemed an unlikely person to bring into such a sensitive program, assuming such a program exists. He likes machine guns and hookers, builds jet-powered cars, operated an outlaw fireworks spectacular and flies a skull-and-crossbones flag over his house. Hardly the profile of a stuffy government scientist. What’s more, the claims he made about places he worked and the school he attended could not be verified.

But instead of scaring us away from the story, the lack of records is what hooked us. Lazar said that prior to S-4, he had worked as a physicist on classified projects at Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico. The lab told me it had no record whatsoever of Lazar. After I found a lab phone book listing his name, and a front-page Los Alamos newspaper article that named him as a lab physicist, Los Alamos still denied having any records. A headhunting company confirmed to me that it had hired Lazar to work at the lab and would send me copies of his records — but then clammed up, refusing to return phone calls or respond to letters, later denying it ever told me that it had the records.

I interviewed four people who had personal knowledge of Lazar working at Los Alamos on classified projects, and I even took a tour of the lab with Lazar as my guide. Something was clearly wrong with this picture. Later, after Lazar got into legal hot water, I asked Nevada Rep. Jim Bilbray for help tracking down Lazar’s employment records. The congressman’s office said it was stonewalled by several agencies and had never seen anything like it.

The second thing that hooked us was Lazar’s knowledge of how things worked at Groom Lake. He says he spent very little time at Groom itself, but he knew, for instance, that a company called EG&G handled hiring. (Lazar claimed he had been sent to EG&G on a recommendation from physicist Edward Teller, whom he had met at Los Alamos.) Lazar knew that employees were flown to the base in unmarked planes or driven to Groom on buses with blacked-out windows — all true. He told us he had been interviewed by a guy who might have worked for the FBI as part of a background check for his security clearance. The agent’s name was Mike Thigpen. As it turned out, Thigpen was a real person, but he worked for something called the Office of Federal Investigation, which conducts background checks on people hired to work at the former Test Site. That part of Lazar’s story turned out to be true.

We also confirmed the existence of a location called S-4 on the Nellis range. There had been no references anywhere to such a place, but the public affairs office at Nellis confirmed to me that S-4 was a location at which the Air Force “tested certain equipment.” (If you ask them today, they will tell you they are “unable to find any such designation on any maps” of the range.) How did Lazar know it existed?

The most important information Lazar had was the location and time of test flights of the saucerlike craft. Three weeks in a row, he escorted a group of people out to the desert east of the Papoose range, and they witnessed a glowing saucer-shaped object rise above the mountains and perform dramatic maneuvers. One of the sightings was captured on videotape. I interviewed each of the people who went along, and they told me the same story. Again, how did Lazar know? There had been no reports of aerial activity at Papoose. To this day, the official story is that the government has never had a facility at that location (even though satellite maps show a road leading from Groom Lake to the spot where Lazar says the hangars were located). As an aside, earlier this year, a UFO researcher found images on Google Earth that appear to show the outline of what could be nine hangar doors on the side of Papoose dry lake.

After an inconclusive result on one polygraph test — the examiner thought Lazar was too frightened — he easily passed a second test, administered an ex-cop named Terry Tavernetti, who quizzed him about his core claims. No attempt at deception was detected. Not long after we reported Tavernetti’s findings, his office was burglarized and the charts from Lazar’s test were stolen.

Yet another reason we gave Lazar the benefit of the doubt is that we found witnesses to back up at least parts of his story. I’ve interviewed more than two dozen people who worked at Groom Lake at various times from the 1950s through the ’80s who have told me they saw saucerlike craft being tested or stored or taken apart in the vicinity of Area 51.

Most telling of all are those witnesses who were subsequently visited and threatened by various Men In Black types. Six people who offered to tell me their stories say they were visited immediately afterward and ordered to keep their mouths shut. If it had happened only once, I wouldn’t think much about it. But these six people were solid citizens, not UFO nuts. One woman says she her life was threatened. Another man says he was warned about imprisonment if he talked. What this told me was that someone was listening to my phone calls. In the days before Edward Snowden’s revelations, before we took for granted that the government is listening to every call and reading every email, this knowledge really pissed us off. Years after the story broke, I spoke to two former spooks who admitted that their job was to follow me, Lazar, Lear and Huff to see who we met or spoke to, at our workplaces, homes or bars. If Lazar’s tale was baloney, why were we being followed?

Nonetheless, my approach to the Lazar material changed in the mid-’90s, for a couple of reasons. One is that I was concerned that I had crossed into advocacy instead of merely reporting on it. The fact is, it became personal. So many weird things happened during those first few years, things that are hard to explain if you weren’t there.

  Second, I reluctantly came to realize that I would never be able to prove Lazar’s claims, no matter how many witnesses came forward to verify parts of his story. The folks who run Area 51 are simply better at this stuff than I am, and were always able to deflect stories about what goes on there. So I changed my focus to merely explaining how the story played out and why I remained interested over the years.

Amazing and ridiculous

In the years since the stories broke, I’ve read the most amazing and ridiculous things about Area 51 and the saucer stories in local and national publications. Quite a few articles have poked fun at the story or at me. I’ve been the subject of at least three terrifically funny editorial cartoons in the Review Journal — all three now hang on my bathroom wall. The RJ media critic speculated that people were “rushing home at night to see my UFO reports” because they wanted to see the moment when I finally went “bull-goose loony on the air.” One columnist bestowed on me the title of “grand mullah in the church of cosmic proctology.”

  Some of this stuff was pretty funny, but it bothered me that so many journalists had made up their minds about the Area 51 stories without ever doing a bit of work on it or without interviewing any witnesses. They seemed to know ahead of time, perhaps through psychic visions, that the story was bunk. To my mind, that isn’t how journalism is supposed to work.

The most troubling failures by my colleagues has been their willingness to accept whatever stories are promulgated by the Air Force or CIA, as long as the end result is to poke fun at crazy UFO buffs.

In the years since the Lazar story broke, I’ve met scores of men who worked at Groom Lake on classified projects who have told me they never saw any saucers, and I believe them. But those same men have told me they would see co-workers in the chow line every day and never know what they were working on because they couldn’t talk about it. They were reportedly ordered to lie about their work to their own spouses.

The other explanation that has been swallowed by those who don’t want the story to be true is that maybe the tale told by Lazar is part of a disinformation plot, devised by the CIA or Air Force, as a way to distract attention away from something else flying around out there.

If that was the plan, it was a miserable failure.

As a result of the saucer tales, tens of thousands of people have made the trek out into the desert to watch the skies. Media crews are out there every week. Congressional investigators have asked tough questions. No one at Groom Lake ever wanted this much attention, regardless of what they are doing these days.

Critics of the story, or of Lazar, are welcome to laugh at it all they want. But the fact is, the debate is effectively over. Area 51 is now permanently carved into the public consciousness. Area 51 is now the yin to Roswell’s yang, and the UFO stories are never going to be divorced from the base itself.

The UFO crazies won the battle. Long live Area 51.

Ondergrondse bases en gedachtemanipulatie in Engeland

Men kan zich afvragen waarom Barry King, die in de video hieronder aan het woord komt, niet als bedreigende klokkenluider wordt beschouwd door de instantie die hem ‘bestuurt’ door middel van ‘mentale inductie’ -een vorm van gedachtemanipulatie.
In de openbaarheid treden is echter de beste zelfbescherming. Indien hem nu iets zou overkomen, zou dat veel geloofwaardigheid aan zijn beweringen verschaffen. Door hem met rust te laten, wordt het waarheidsgehalte van zijn relaas gedecimeerd.
Via andere bronnen is komen vast te staan dat er in de UK behoorlijk veel geheime ondergrondse militaire basissen bestaan.
Ook zijn er getuigenissen die aantonen dat in het Verenigd Koninkrijk daadwerkelijk meerdere projecten bestaan die verscheidene methodes toepassen om de hersenfuncties en gemoedstoestanden van geselecteerde proefpersonen (Barry King noemt ze ‘guinea pigs’) te manipuleren. Dit doet weer denken aan het MK-Ultra project van de CIA. De CIA heeft destijds verklaard dat de organisatie is gestopt met MK-Ultra. Maar oud CIA-agent Victor Marchetti spreekt dit in verschillende interviews tegen. Volgens hem is het onderzoek naar gedachtemanipulatie gewoon doorgegaan en is het bericht dat de CIA ermee gestopt zou zijn een ‘coverstory’, een verhaal om de waarheid te verhullen.
Indien we Barry King mogen geloven, wordt in Engeland in ieder geval actief gedachtemanipulatie toegepast, en dit op een zeer technologisch geavanceerde manier.

In volgende posts zal ik dit onderwerp verder uitdiepen.

Welsh UFO sightings intensify!

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 5^th 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 4^th 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

More news as we have it. Keep watching the skies.

THE UFO “WHY?” QUESTIONS

The star 55 Cancri has the most confirmed planets so far of any other (excluding the sun). NASA Art

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.

Aircraft Carriers In The Sky

The Pentagon wants an airborne aircraft carrier to launch drones

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency released this artist’s rendering to show its vision for a future aircraft carrier in the sky, capable of launching and recovering numerous drone aircraft while in flight. (DARPA image)

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.
