Two Nurses Close Encounter At Their Hospital In Vancouver

(Before It's News)

TWO NURSES CLOSE ENCOUNTER AT THEIR HOSPITAL IN VANCOUVER
 JANUARY 1, 1970    ……..     VANCOUVER ISLAND CANADA
 

It was turning five in the morning on New Year’s Day 1970, when Miss Doreen Kendall, a practical nurse at the Cowichan District Hospital on Vancouver Island, noticed that one of the elderly patients in her ward was restless. Deciding the patient was too warm, she went to a window and parted the drapes to let in a little air.  “Just as I pulled the drapes a brilliant light hit me in the eyes,” she said. “It was still dark outside, but about 60 feet away right above the children’s ward to my left there was this object so big and bright I could see everything clearly.”  “The object was circular and had what I guess you would call a top and bottom. The bottom was silvery, like metal, and was shaped like a bowl. There was a string of bright lights around it like a necklace. The top was a dome made of something like glass. It was lit up from inside and I could see right into it.” 

Continuing her account in question-and-answer form, Miss Kendall told me there were two male-like figures in the craft, one behind the other, facing to her right away from the hospital. The one in front appeared taller, or perhaps was positioned higher, than the other. Their heads were encased in close-fitting dark material.  As she watched with intense curiosity, yet completely unfrightened – “I never felt so peaceful in all my life. I wish I could have talked to them” – she became aware of seeing more of the interior of the craft and realized it was tilting. In a moment she could see to a point just below their knees and noticed they were standing in front of what looked like stools.”They looked like fine, tall, well-built men,” she said. “They were dressed in tight-fitting suits of the same material that covered their heads but their hands were bare and I noticed how human they looked. Their flesh seemed just like ours.” 

Intrigued as she was by the appearance of the two figures, Miss Kendall found her interest centered on what looked like an instrument panel facing the one in front. The man in front was staring at the panel as if something very important was going on, and I wondered if they might have had mechanical trouble. I even thought they might have landed on the roof of the hospital and then had trouble taking off.”  She described the panel as a very large one, taking up almost half the interior of the object and reaching nearly to the top of the dome. The instruments, if that is what they were, seemed to be inset in the chrome-like metal of the panel and there was a variety of sizes.  The total sight was so absorbing that at first Miss Kendall’s thoughts were lost to everything else, and for a moment she forgot Mrs. Frieda Wilson, a registered nurse, was in the same room.   “Then when I did think of it, I guess I hesitated. I felt I mustn’t make a noise or do anything that would break the trend of what was happening.” 

At this point, almost as if her thoughts were being read, she saw the figure in the rear turn slowly and face squarely in her direction.  “He seemed to look right at me but I couldn’t see his face. It was covered by a darkish material that looked softer than the rest of his suit. I’m sure he saw me because then he touched the other man on the back. When he did this, the man in front reached down and took hold of something like a lever beside him. I’ll never forget how deliberately he did it. He pushed it back and forth and the saucer, or whatever you’d call it, started to circle slowly, still close to the building, in an anticlockwise direction.”  The motion seemed to break the spell for Miss Kendall, for then she remembered Mrs. Wilson was there and called her over.  Later I spoke separately to Mrs. Wilson, who said, “I noticed Miss Kendall standing at the window and wondered what she was looking at. In fact, I was just going to see when she beckoned to me, and then I saw this great big light over the patio outside the children’s ward. I’d say it was quite a bit larger than a car. (By the estimate of both witnesses, the object spanned a width of about five windows of the children’s ward. This gave it a diameter of at least 50 feet.) It looked circular in shape and the far side seemed to be higher than the side near us. It was moving around slowly and then it started to move away. I didn’t really see any top or bottom to it. It was all just tremendously bright.”

Wingless Ufo Craft Near Norwegian Airplane

(Before It's News)

WINGLESS UFO CRAFT NEAR NORWEGIAN AIRPLANE

JULY 11, 1995    ……    STEINKJER NORWAY

 
At 16.25 hours on July 11, 1995, a Dash-8 passenger plane from the Wideroe company was on route from Fornebu (Oslo) to Bronnoysund when something very strange happened over Steinkjer about 70 kilmetres north of Trondheim. The co-pilot caught sight of a flying object that moved to the right of the plane. From his left side of the cockpit the captain only saw a part of what happened: 

– First we thought it was another plane but as I bent down to get a better view, I noticed it had neither wings nor tail-fins, says captain Erik P. Risan. It was fine weather and good visibility. His (anonymous) co-pilot, on the right side of the cockpit, got a better view of the object but does not want to elaborate on the incident: 

– I have already told the facts to the radar station in Trondheim. If I had wanted this story in the media I would have said so, he said.  The Wideroe Dash-8 plane was flying on 15.000 feet. Soon the unknown object slowed down and disappeared. In about a minute it was all over. The crew informed the Vaernes tower that something was in the air. Sometimes a weather balloon goes astray, but the captain does not want to speculate if this might be the explanation in this case. The military radar at Grakallen near Trondheim had coverage of the area but caught no returns from an unknown object. There were no military planes in the area. The object was considered unidentified by the military forces.   11 year old Roy Arne Hallem apparently witnessed the incident from the porch of his home at Inndalen. The boy told his parents on Tuesday evening. The incident was published the next day.

– The object was very polished and almost as large as the airplane. I saw it for half-a-minute or a minute before it went straight up at disappeared at great speed, he said. Three hours later the same (or a similar) silvery polished object was spotted by 75 year old Bjarne Lein.

Exoplanets May Have Lost Their Chances To Host Life

Scientists have discovered that planets orbiting near low-mass stars are the most common stars in the universe. These worlds have become the primary targets in the search for alien life. However, a new research led by the University of Washington’s astronomy graduate theorizes that some of these planets may have lost their chances to host life because of too much heat throughout the course of their formative years.

Also called M dwarfs, the low-mass stars are considered habitable because they have enough space that would allow liquid water to the surface of orbiting planet. They are much less luminous and smaller than the sun. The big possibility in the presence of water, giving life a chance in the so-called M dwarfs.

It is much easier for astronomers to find planets near their host stars than their siblings farther out. However, in a paper that will be published in the journal Astrobiology, author Rodrigo Luger and co-author Rory Barnes have opened up the possibility that some planets near to low-mass stars likely had their atmospheres and water burned away when they were still in the process of developing.

Doctoral student Luger said that the collapse of interstellar gas’ giant cloud, which releases light as it shrinks, created all stars. He explained that lower masses of the stars mean lower gravities, and, therefore, M dwarfs take longer to collapse fully.

Planets formed around these stars within ten million years. This could mean that the planets are already around when the stars are still very bright. This scenario is deemed not well for habitability because these planets could get the surface temperatures in excess of a thousand degrees. When all of these things are possible, then oceans boil, and the atmosphere becomes steam.

Another thing that Luger and UW research assistant professor Barnes pointed out is the fact that M dwarf stars emit a lot of ultraviolet light and X-ray, which cause thousands of degrees of heat in the upper atmosphere. Gas would expand very quickly and leave the planet towards space.

According to the authors Luger and Barnes, ultraviolet radiation can split up water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Heavier oxygen atoms would stay in these worlds while the lighter ones would escape the atmosphere very easily. Similar to Earth, some oxygen may be suitable for life, but too much could destroy the origin of life.

Luger said they have chosen “Mirage Earths” as the working title of their paper because exoplanets could look a lot like Earth from a distance, but in reality they are a mirage, no water at all.

British Investigator Digs Deep Into UFO Sighting Report In Northumberland

British space alien investigator is investigating the UFO sighting claims in Northumberland, and he is determined to talk to anyone who saw the same thing in similar place and time.

Mutual UFO Network’s British field investigator Karl Webb is trying to substantiate the claim.

Allegedly passing above the Hadston area going into Amble last month, the object apparently moved at a steady speed.

According to Webb, he’s dealing with a sighting that happened on Saturday, November 22, at around 7pm to 7:30pm.

The primary witness to the sighting reported to Webb’s group and as part of their ongoing investigation, they need to ascertain, or negate the possibility that the sighting is indeed true with substance and that it was witnessed by others.

Based on the details they gathered, such as the size, distance and direction, they think that the subject could well have been seen moving from south to north, passing above the Hadston area going towards on the coast of Amble at a steady speed.

Mr Webb said that he does not mind anybody who takes the nature of his work with cynicism. He claimed that his request for witnesses is serious and not a spoof.

He added that in the current stage of his investigation, he found no such corroboratory evidence so far about any videos or photos.

He said that he can’t reveal his witness of the event due to the obligation of MUFON to protect any witnesses. Webb would hope that his investigation may reveal more sources that may give some corroborations to the sighting.

ALIEN ABDUCTION ~ FACT OR FICTION?

ALIEN ABDUCTION ~ FACT OR FICTION?

If the figures are to be believed, up to 4 million people have been abducted by aliens in the US, with many millions more captured world wide. Although the existence of human hungry aliens might be impossible to disprove per se, it is unlikely that extra-terrestrials could manage such mass kidnappings without being commonly noticed. This suggests that there are many people who falsely believe they have been seized by creatures from outer-space, perhaps after experiencing unusual and bizarre phenomena. The purpose of this article is to communicate some of the recent research in psychology and neuroscience that gives us some clues as to how and why these experiences and beliefs occur.

Some of the many thousands of people who claim to have been abducted are likely to be fortune seekers, bar-room braggers, publicity hounds and maybe even some genuine abductees. Yet with the high numbers of people reporting abductions, many of the people who believe they have been captured will likely have been mistaken.

I. The History of Abductions

Yes there are signs of crafts being seen in the sky and alien contact in ancient text, but without knowledge as to what these hieroglyphs, paintings etc actually symbolize or mean we will stay away from ancient astronaut theories and look at recorded history.

The First reported Sighting to make Print!

In the November 27, 1896 edition of the Stockton, California Daily Mail, Colonel H. G. Shaw claimed he and a friend were harassed by three tall, slender humanoids whose bodies were covered with a fine, downy hair who tried to kidnap the pair.

Colonel H. G. Shaw, along with his friend Camille Spooner, had a close encounter with previously unknown entities.

Shaw was in charge of putting together an exhibition to be displayed at a Fair in Fresno.

Shaw and friend were traveling by horse and carriage in route to Stockton, when their horse froze with fright.

To the two men’s shock, they saw the cause of the horse’s actions; three tall alien looking beings with small delicate hands at the end of their spindly arms stood by the road. They had no hair on their heads, yet a soft, light fuzz over their bodies. Large eyes made their small mouths and ears appear even smaller.

The two eyewitnesses would later tell authorities that the beings had a “strange” type of beauty to them.

All of the beings carried with them a bag of some kind with a hose which they often stuck in their mouths, obviously to breath with. Although there was still some daytime left, the beings also carried with them egg-shaped lamps which glowed. This glow would later illuminate a waiting spaceship.

As the men watched the aliens, the beings were communicating with each other by a type of chant, as no English words were heard by Shaw and Spooner. The men would tell authorities that the aliens made an attempt to abduct them, but that the large difference in mass between the human and alien body thwarted the effort.

Soon, the three alien beings made a move toward a nearby bridge. Using their other worldly lamps, the aliens lighted up the bridge, showing a nearby craft. The UFO was of a cigar shape, and it hovered quietly over the water.

The beings seemed to be almost lighter than air as they moved toward their craft. It seemed that the aliens would almost leave the ground as they walked on the earth.

The beings entered the hovering cigar UFO in a most unconventional way also. They sprung up from the ground and above their craft, and then floated down into the craft through an unseen entry. Soon, the object flew away.

Then in the 1940s and ’50s.

The Space Age was upon us, and sci-fi literature was soaring in popularity with human-alien encounters a recurring theme. In July 1946, “Planet Comics” ran a strip in which aliens used a luminous tractor beam to kidnap a voluptuous female earthling, whom they called Specimen 9. They tell her the abduction is part of “Project Survival,” and as they steer their spaceship toward what looks like Saturn, the leader remarks, “Now home. And if you find our methods ruthless, Specimen 9, it is because our needs are desperate.”

Likewise, in 1954, a comic strip appearing in the British tabloid The Daily Express detailed the alien abduction of a Royal Air Force pilot. Dozens of other abduction stories graced the pages of sci-fi novels and comic books.

June 24, 1947 The Kenneth Arnold Incident

Kenneth Arnold, a businessman, was flying his private plane near Mount Rainier in Washington State when he saw nine shining discs moving against the background of the mountain. He estimated their speed as about 1,000 mph. He said that they swerved in and out of the peaks of the Cascade Mountains with “flipping, erratic movements.” He later told a reporter that the objects moved as a saucer would “if you skipped it across the water.” The next day the story appeared in newspapers all over the nation, calling the strange objects “flying saucers.” Hundreds of people soon began reporting sightings of flying saucers, and a US Air Force investigation was initiated; on 4 July, ten days after the sighting, the US Air Force announced confidently that Arnold had been “hallucinating.”

1953 Hunrath and Wilkinson Disappearance

The 1950s was a time of major UFO activity but it was also a time in UFO history known by a group of persons known as “UFO contactees”. These individuals claimed to have made contact with the alien occupants of the flying saucers. For some these contacts were face to face, for others the communications were telepathic. Some claimed to have been given rides on alien spacecraft. Most of the mainstream UFO organizations of the time gave little credence to the contactees, and believed most to be hoaxers or people suffering from delusions. One of the most famous contactees was George Adamski.

George Adamski was born in Poland and immigrated to the US at a young age. By the 1930s, he was living in California as a sort of guru practicing “Universal Progressive Christianity”. He set up a small observatory at a restaurant “Palomar Gardens” below the famous Mount Palomar Observatory. By the early 1950s, Adamski was taking photographs of flying saucers with his telescope and writing science fiction and articles about the occult. On November 20, 1952, Adamski reportedly met an angelic looking man named Orthon who emerged from a landed flying saucer, claiming to be from Venus. During this encounter at the base of the Coxcomb Mountains, not far from Desert Center, California, Adamski was accompanied by six people who were told by Adamski to stay behind while he made the contact with Orthon.

After this encounter, Adamski attracted a small group of followers. One of these was Karl Hunrath, a electrical engineer, who had invented “Bosco” a device which was intended to bring down flying saucers. After a dispute with Adamski, Hunrath moved away from Palomar Gardens and rented an apartment in Los Angeles with Jerrold Baker, a handyman at Palomar Gardens who had also had a falling out with Adamski.

Karl Hunrath was soon working as a radio technician. In June 1953, a old friend of Hunrath’s from Racine, Wisconsin, Wilbur J. Wilkinson, arrived in Los Angeles with his wife and three children. Wilkinson, a co-inventor of Bosco, had left his job as a foreman at an electrical appliance plant, to join Hunrath in his efforts to see a flying saucer and meet an alien.

The two men developed an interest in channeling aliens, meeting other contactees and using psychic techniques and mechanical contractions to communicate with the “Maserians”, beings who allegedly lived on the moon.

On or about November 10, 1953, Karl Hunrath made phone calls to several associates telling them that some people had left Earth for other planets and that no one should be surprised if this might happen to him. On November 11, 1953, Hunrath and Wilkinson rented a small plane at Gardina County Airport near Los Angeles. With three hours of fuel, one hour paid rental, and no filed flight plan, Hunrath flew off with his passenger Wilkinson with the likely intent to meet a grounded saucer which they apparently presumed would take them to Maser, Venus or some other off-Earth populated celestial body.

Apparently to this day, no trace of the aircraft or the two men has been found. Most people presume that Hunrath, an inexperienced pilot, probably crashed somewhere in the mountainous terrain east of Los Angeles. If this is so, the aircraft wreckage may be out there still.

Wilbur J Wilkinson, provided this script, claiming it was from a race using the moon as a way-station for its people from the planet Maser.

NOTE: Adamski was quoted as saying “I made enough wine for all of Southern California…I was making a fortune!” However, the end of Prohibition also marked the decline of his profitable wine-making business, and Adamski later told two friends that’s when he “had to get into this [flying] saucer crap.

Antonio Villas Boas Abduction Case

In 1957, a Brazilian writer named João Martins penned the first installment of a series titled “Flying Saucers’ Terrible Mission” for the magazine O Cruzeiro. “There he describes cases of people in isolated places attacked by small alien beings”.

Martins also asked his readers to write him with their own experiences. Among hundreds of responses, he selected one of a young farmer from Minas Gerais with whom he exchanged several letters.

The next year, Martins paid for the 23-year-old farmer to come to Rio de Janeiro, where he was examined by Dr. Olavo Fontes. The farmer’s name was Antonio Villas Boas, and he claimed to have been abducted by aliens one day after reading Martin’s article?

The story got out. Walter Buhler of the Brazilian ufology group SBEDV, and a follower of the self-described alien contactee George Adamski, learned about Vilas Boas’ story, and in 1962, Buhler visited the young farmer in his hometown. The SBEDV subsequently published a report on the Villas Boas case in English, and the account aligned with Adamski’s earlier descriptions of aliens and their spaceships. In January 1965, an international journal called the Flying Saucer Review reproduced Buhler’s report worldwide.

Villas Boas was working the fields at night to avoid the scorching temperatures of the day, when he saw the red light of a spaceship; it slowly approached him and landed nearby in a field. Villas Boas tried to escape but was captured by small humanoid creatures, which dragged him into their craft.

The aliens conducted a series of experiments on their captive, including taking samples of his body tissue, exposing him to a gas that made him violently ill, and compelling him to have sexual intercourse with a female alien, who was, Villas Boas said, very attractive, with blonde hair and blue, cat-like eyes.

A few details hint that the story was fabricated or imagined. “If you read Villas Boas’ account you may notice the advanced aliens nonetheless used rope ladders. Moreover, “Villas Boas’ original sketch of the alien spaceship, with three legs, looks remarkably like the drawings of Sputnik-1, often depicted with three of its four antennas showing. The Sputnik surely was the talk of the time in 1957 when Villas Boas was supposedly abducted — or imagined his story.”

The Betty and Barney Hill Case

Widespread publicity was generated by the Betty and Barney Hill abduction case of 1961, culminating in a made-for-television film broadcast in 1975 (starring James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons) dramatizing the events. The Hill incident was probably the prototypical abduction case and was perhaps the first in which the claimant described beings that later became widely known as the Greys and in which the beings were said to explicitly identify an extraterrestrial origin.

The Hills were an interracial couple in the 1960s, and the exhibit discusses Barney Hill’s civil rights activism. However, the couple is best known for giving the first reported incident of an alleged alien abduction in America.

Today, due to television shows and films, the scenario is familiar: UFOs chase down terrified witnesses on a desolate road and take them onto the spaceship to ask them questions or probe them in awkward places.

It began one night when Barney and Betty Hill claimed they were pursued by a glowing UFO through parts of New Hampshire. Betty soon had vivid nightmares (which she interpreted as fragmented memories) about the incident, and the couple came to believe that they had been abducted by the UFO’s occupants, who then erased their memories. The couple sought the help of a psychiatrist, and under hypnosis both Hills soon reported full-blown, detailed “repressed memories” of their abduction.

The Barney and Betty Hill story was celebrated as the most important UFO-related event in the 1960s, and spun into a media sensation. Their experiences became fodder for many magazine articles, books, and a made-for-TV film called “The UFO Incident.” Betty became a UFO celebrity, giving media appearances and writing a book about her story.

As the years passed, however, the story lost its gloss and most realize it to be a hoax.

No other witnesses could support their account, parts of it were implausible, and the validity of “repressed memories” was called into question. Betty Hill’s own reported experiences cast doubt on her credibility. In the decades since her original 1961 experience with her husband Barney, Betty claimed not a few, nor dozens, but hundreds of UFO sightings.

Though UFO investigators desperately wanted to believe her, that became more difficult. One UFO researcher who worked with Betty noted that she was “unable to distinguish between a landed UFO and a streetlight.” In other words, she saw UFOs where none existed.
“
Even many UFO believers reluctantly admit that much of Betty Hill’s experiences and stories cannot be true and instead are likely imaginative fantasies of a sincere but confused woman. With little or no corroborating evidence and no eyewitnesses to support their remarkable story, the Barney and Betty Hill abduction case is, as often happens, inconclusive at best and a complete fabrication at worst.

II.  If the Witnesses are not hoaxers or scammers then what else explains these experiences?

Sleep paralysis
Awareness during sleep paralysis is a common explanation for this confusion, most probably as abduction experiences and conscious sleep paralysis attacks often share many of the same features, such as waking whilst unable to move, feelings of fear, dread or unease and a feeling of pressure on the body. Normal sleep paralysis happens when the body enters the REM stage of the sleep cycle. The brain stem blocks movement signals that would normally travel from the brain to the muscles, probably to stop us carrying out the movements we dream about doing. The frightening aspect of this occurs when a sleeper awakens, becomes conscious, but who’s movement control is not reinstated by the brain. This state can also be accompanied by what are known as ‘hypnopompic’ hallucinations which occur naturally to many people whilst awakening. These hallucinations can take the form of voices, lights, figures or any number of strange bodily sensations. It is little wonder that when combined with fearful paralysis such uncanny experiences might be interpreted as alien in origin.

Temporal lobe disturbance
Another commonly cited source of internal spookiness are the temporal lobes of the brain. Electrical stimulation of the surface of the temporal lobes (usually done on an awake patient when they are undergoing brain surgery) can produce unusual auditory sensations. Similarly, Michael Persinger, a Canadian scientist, has produced strange sensations in his research participants by using magnets to influence temporal lobe function from outside the skull. Such sensations have included feelings of a ‘presence’, disorientation and fear. It would seem unlikely that a possible abductee would fail to notice if someone placed large magnets near his or her head (or even that they were subject to brain surgery !) before the ‘abduction’ experience. However, similar effects can be caused by epileptic or similar seizures in the temporal lobes. Many epilepsy sufferers who have temporal lobe seizures report mystical experiences, missing time, out of body feelings or even strange smells or ‘atmospheres’ prior to, during or after a seizure. It must be remembered that not all forms of epilepsy cause dramatic shaking of the body, and many simply result in brief lapses of consciousness or experiences such as those noted above. This leads us to wonder whether disturbances in the temporal lobes may also contribute to experiences which some people may interpret as an alien abduction.

Mental illness
Surprisingly, overt mental illness may be one of the least likely explanations for abduction experiences. Research has previously suggested that alien contactees are no more likely to show signs of mental illness than the general population, a finding which has been backed up by several other studies. However, many features once thought present only in mental illness have now been discovered to be held by much of the population. If we look at the healthy population as a whole, these features seem to exist on a continuum with some people reporting anomalous thoughts and feelings or having certain traits more than others. In this vein, it seems people who report themselves as abductees are more likely to endorse unusual experiences, be creative and imaginative, have depressive ideas, be suspicious, have dissociative tendencies and to have suffered childhood trauma. So whilst it seems unlikely that the bizarre experiences reported by most ‘abductees’ stem from severe mental illness (which can produce equally bizarre and seemingly real experiences) it is certainly the case that this group has characteristics that differentiate them from the general population. It is possible that these dispositions may increase the tendency for them to explain an anomalous experience in terms of alien contact.

Memory distortion
Our memories are often infuriatingly fallible, leading us to forget information we want to remember, remember information we’d rather forget, or often confidently recall something that later turns out to be inaccurate. A recent study has investigated memory distortions in people claiming to have been subject to alien capture. Participants in the study were read several lists of similarly themed words then given tests of recall and recognition. The results of the study indicated that ‘abductees’ were able to remember words from the original list as well as ‘non-abductees’, but tended to show a higher rate of recall and recognition for words that were never actually read out in the first place. This suggests that the ‘abductees’ are more likely to misidentify the source of memories, perhaps suggesting that some elements of their abduction experience may have been culled from other sources such as the media or their own imagination.

This effect may also work retrospectively, allowing people to co-opt previous memories to support an abduction account. An early memory study conducted by Frederic Bartlett demonstrated that we reconstruct memories as they are recalled to create a coherent story. This reconstruction takes place using cultural references that give us a frame on which to hang the various remembered experiences. The alien abduction experience is well known to almost everyone, due to the popularity of shows such as the X-Files, and famous cases which have hit the headlines. This may give some people a cultural framework on which they can hang memories from a bizarre, unusual or traumatic experience. Unfortunately it is even the case that naïve or even unscrupulous therapists may push alien abduction as a explanation for a bizarre experience that a client may have undergone. Many examples of therapists willing to use hypnotic regression, a technique noted for its tendency to cause false recall, to recover abduction experiences can be found on the internet. Perhaps giving an off-the-shelf explanation for strange experiences that the brain is quite capable of generating, without the need for extra-terrestrial intervention.

Conclusion
It would certainly be foolish to discount the possibility of anything unlikely, simply because of its improbability. Yet we must also remember that we can often find explanations for anomalous experience within ourselves. As the old doctor’s adage goes ‘When you hear hoof beats, start by thinking horses not zebras’. This would seem to work as well for zebras as it does for visitors from outer-space.

ARE ALIEN ABDUCTIONS REAL?

New Evidence for a Mars Water Reservoir

NASA and an international team of planetary scientists have found evidence in meteorites on Earth that indicates Mars has a distinct and global reservoir of water or ice near its surface.

Though controversy still surrounds the origin, abundance and history of water on Mars, this discovery helps resolve the question of where the “missing Martian water” may have gone. Scientists continue to study the planet’s historical record, trying to understand the apparent shift from an early wet and warm climate to today’s dry and cool surface conditions.

This illustration depicts Martian water reservoirs.

Recent research provides evidence for the existence of a third reservoir that is intermediate in isotopic composition between the Red Planet’s mantle and its current atmosphere. These results support the hypothesis that a buried cryosphere accounts for a large part of the initial water budget of Mars. Image Credit: NASA

The reservoir’s existence also may be a key to understanding climate history and the potential for life on Mars. The team’s findings are reported in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.

• “There have been hints of a third planetary water reservoir in previous studies of Martian meteorites, but our new data require the existence of a water or ice reservoir that also appears to have exchanged with a diverse set of Martian samples,” said Tomohiro Usui of Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan, lead author of the paper and a former NASA/Lunar and Planetary Institute postdoctoral fellow. “Until this study there was no direct evidence for this surface reservoir or interaction of it with rocks that have landed on Earth from the surface of Mars.”

Researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington and NASA’s Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Division, located at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, studied three Martian meteorites.

The samples revealed water comprised of hydrogen atoms that have a ratio of isotopes distinct from that found in water in the Red Planet’s mantle and current atmosphere. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with differing numbers of neutrons.

While recent orbiter missions have confirmed the presence of subsurface ice, and melting ground-ice is believed to have formed some geomorphologic features o Mars, this study used meteorites of different ages to show that significant ground water-ice may have existed relatively intact over time.

Researchers emphasize that the distinct hydrogen isotopic signature of the water reservoir must be of sufficient size that it has not reached isotopic equilibrium with the atmosphere.

“The hydrogen isotopic composition of the current atmosphere could be fixed by a quasi-steady-state process that involves rapid loss of hydrogen to space and the sublimation from a widespread ice layer,” said coauthor John Jones, a JSC experimental petrologist and member of NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover team.

Curiosity’s observations in a lakebed, in an area called Mount Sharp, indicate Mars lost its water in a gradual process over a significant period of time.

“In the absence of returned samples from Mars, this study emphasizes the importance of finding more Martian meteorites and continuing to study the ones we have with the ever-improving analytical techniques at our disposal,” said co-author Conel Alexander, a cosmochemist at the Carnegie Institution for Science.

In this investigation, scientists compared water, other volatile element concentrations and hydrogen isotopic compositions of glasses within the meteorites, which may have formed as the rocks erupted to the surface of Mars in ancient volcanic activity or by impact events that hit the Martian surface, knocking them off the planet.

“We examined two possibilities, that the signature for the newly identified hydrogen reservoir either reflects near surface ice interbedded with sediment or that it reflects hydrated rock near the top of the Martian crust,” said coauthor and JSC cosmochemist Justin Simon. “Both are possible, but the fact that the measurements with higher water concentrations appear uncorrelated with the concentrations of some of the other measured volatile elements, in particular chlorine, suggests the hydrogen reservoir likely existed as ice.”

The information being gathered about Mars from studies on Earth, and data being returned from a fleet of robotic spacecraft and rovers on and around the Red Planet, are paving the way for future human missions on a journey to Mars in the 2030s.

Earth's water didn't come from comets

Comets may not have brought water to the Earth as was previously thought. Image Credit: NASA/JPL

Rosetta has discovered that the water on comet 67P is different to the water that we have here on Earth.

The theory that Earth's water was deposited here by comets has hit a setback this week after it was revealed that the water present on comet 67P contains more than three times more deuterium, a heavy form of hydrogen, than the water found here on Earth.

This difference suggests that our water didn't arrive here on comets after all, opening up the possibility that it was instead deposited by water-bearing asteroids during our planet's early history.

"In the earliest period of the solar system, 3.8bn years ago, asteroids are thought to have crashed into Earth regularly in what is called the late heavy bombardment," said Professor Kathrin Altwegg.

"At that time, asteroids could well have had much more water than they have today."

The Secrets of Tesla and Marconi – The UFO-Mars connection

While Nikola Tesla was conducting experiments with his Magnifying Transmitter at Colorado Springs in 1899, he detected coherent signals which he determined had originated on Mars.

Tesla elaborated on the subject of "Talking with the Planets" in Collier's Weekly (March 1901):

Extract:

Tesla: "I can never forget the first sensations I experienced when it dawned upon me that I had observed something possibly of incalculable consequences to mankind.

My first observations positively terrified me, as there was present in them something mysterious, not to say supernatural, and I was alone in my laboratory at night; but at that time the idea of these disturbances being intelligently controlled signal did not yet present itself to me.

The changes I noted were taking place periodically and with such a clear suggestion of number and order that they were not traceable to any cause known to me. I was familiar, of course, with such electrical disturbances as are produced by the sun, Aurora Borealis and earth currents, and I was as sure as I could be of any fact that these variations were due to none of these causes.

The nature of my experiments precluded the possibility of the changes being produced by atmospheric disturbances, as has been rashly asserted by some.

It was sometime afterward when the thought flashed upon my mind that the disturbances I had observed might be due to an intelligent control.

Although I could not decipher their meaning, it was impossible for me to think of them as having been entirely accidental.

The feeling is constantly growing in me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another. A purpose was behind these electrical signals!"

Years later, Arthur Matthews claimed that Tesla had secretly developed a "Teslascope" for the purpose of communicating with Mars. Dr. Andrija Puharich met with Matthews and discussed the matter with him in an interview which was published in the Pyramid Guide.

"The Teslascope is the thing Tesla invented to communicate with beings on other planets. In principle, communication takes in cosmic ray signals.

Guglielmo Marconi

Several years after Tesla announced his reception of signals from Mars, Guglielmo Marconi also claimed to have heard mysterious signals from a radio transmitter, he speculated may have come from Mars, (London Daily Mail, 1920)

A year later, J. H. C. Macbeth, London manager of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, Ltd., said at a Rotary Club luncheon at the McAlpin that Marconi is now convinced that he has intercepted wireless messages from Mars.

Mr. Macbeth added by way of prediction, that should this prove to be so, it will be only a question of time before inventive genius and ingenuity in deciphering unknown codes will evolve a method of communication between the two planets. (Washington Post - September 2, 1921).

Einstein

Now, before we go on with the intriguing discoveries of Tesla and Marconi, we have to mention some remarkable quotes from Einstein, found in the just released first digital edition of Albert Einstein papers which covers Einstein's life up until 1923.

1. An intriguing item from January 1920, a reference to an article in the London Daily Mail, whose correspondent had asked Einstein his opinions about extraterrestrial life, referring to Guglielmo Marconi who had recently told the same paper about mysterious signals he speculated may have come from Mars.

Einstein: “There is every reason to believe that Mars and other planets are inhabited,” answered the professor. “Why should the earth be the only planet supporting human life? It is not singular in any other respect. But if intelligent creatures do exist, as we may assume they do elsewhere in the universe, I should not expect them to try to communicate with the earth by wireless (radio). Light rays, the direction of which can be controlled much more easily, would more probably be the first method attempted.”

2. In Einstein’s digital papers also show another remarkable line from a letter sent in February 1917: Link digital edition, Volume 8 - Page 282

Einstein: “It is a pity that we do not live on Mars and just observe man’s nasty antics by telescope.”

Einstein's statement indicates, besides Tesla and Marconi, also he knew about activities and life on the planet Mars.

Return to Tesla and Marconi:

Like Tesla, Marconi was a mysterious man in his later years, and was known to perform experiments, including anti-gravity experiments, aboard his yacht Electra. Marconi's yacht was a floating super-laboratory, from which he sent signals into space and lit lights in Australia in 1930. He did this with the aid of an Italian physicist named Landini by sending wave train signals through the earth, much as Tesla had done in Colorado Springs.

According to Bibliotecapleyades in June of 1936 Marconi demonstrated to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini a wave gun device that could be used as a defensive weapon. In the 1930's such devices were popularized as "death rays". Marconi demonstrated the ray on a busy highway north of Milan one afternoon.

Mussolini had asked his wife Rachele to also be on the highway at precisely 3:30 in the afternoon. Marconi's device caused the electrical systems in all the cars, including Rachele's, to malfunction for half an hour, while her chauffeur and other motorists checked their fuel pumps and spark plugs. At 3:35 all the cars were able to start again. Rachele Mussolini later published this account in her autobiography.

Mussolini was quite pleased with Marconi's invention, however it is said that Pope Pius XI learned about the invention of the paralyzing rays and took steps to have Mussolini stop Marconi's research.

According to Marconi's followers, Marconi then took his yacht to South America in 1937, after faking his own death.

The Secret City in South America 

A number of European scientists were said to have gone with Marconi, including Landini. In the 1937, the enigmatic Italian physicist and alchemist Fulcanelli warned European physicists of the grave dangers of atomic weapons and then mysteriously vanished a few years later.

He is believed to have joined Marconi's secret group in South America.

Ninety-eight scientists were said to have gone to South America where they built a city in an extinct volcanic crater in the southern jungles of Venezuela. In their secret city, financed by the great wealth they had created during their lives, they continued Marconi's work on solar energy, cosmic energy and antigravity. They worked secretly and apart from the world's nations, building free-energy motors and ultimately discoid aircraft with a form of gyroscopic anti-gravity. The community is said to be dedicated to universal peace and the common good of all mankind.

It is said there is information on this astonishing high-tech city from a number of sources. In the South America the story is a common subject among certain metaphysical groups and also discussed in the book ‘Mysteries of the Andes, (1974, 1977) written by the French writer Robert Charroux, plus the story of a Mexican journalist named Mario Rojas Avendaro who investigated the Ciudad Subterranean de los Andes (Underground City of the Andes) and concluded that it was a true story.

Avendaro was contacted by man named Naciso Genovese, who had been a student of Marconi's and was a physics teacher at a High School in Baja, Mexico.

Genovese was an Italian by origin and claimed to have lived for many years in the Ciudad Subterranea de los Andes. Sometime in the late 1950s he wrote an obscure book entitled "My Trip To Mars - Yo He Estado en Marte."

Though the book was never published in English, it did appear in various Spanish, Portuguese and Italian editions.

Tesla Technology 

By 1946 the city already using a powerful collector of cosmic energy, the essential component of all matter, according to Marconi's theories, many of which he had derived from Tesla.

"In 1952," according to Genovese, "we traveled above all the seas and continents in a craft whose energy supply was continuous and practical inexhaustible. It reached a speed of half a million miles an hour and withstood enormous pressures, near the limit of resistance of the alloys that composed it. The problem was to slow it down at just the right time."

According to Genovese, the city is located at the bottom of a crater, is mostly underground and is entirely self-sufficient. The extinct volcano is covered in thick vegetation, is hundreds of miles from any roads, and is at thirteen thousand feet in the jungle mountains of the Amazon.

Genovese claimed that flights to the Moon and Mars were made in their "flying saucers." He claimed that once the technology had been conquered, it was relatively simple to make the trip to the Moon (a few hours) or Mars (several days).

It is said that Tesla was induced to fake his own death, (Tesla reportedly died in ‘The New Yorker Hotel’ in 1943, but was it really Tesla?) just as Marconi and many of the other scientists had done, and was taken, by special discoid craft, to Marconi's high-tech super-city. Away from the outside world, the military governments, the oil companies, the arms and aircraft manufacturers, Marconi and Tesla, both supposedly dead, continued their experiments, in an atmosphere conducive to scientific achievement.

According to Bibliotecapleyades these four photos are from the U.S. Air Force Blue Book files and show a "French Flying Saucer Device" that is alleged to be one of the craft used by Marconi and built at the secret city in South America. The photos are known to have been taken in 1953.

The next photo shows a craft similar to the type of craft allegedly made at Marconi's secret city. After taken these photos on Plata Beach, Salvador, Brazil on April 24, 1959, the photographer Hello Aguiar lost consciousness.

Tesla and Marconi were contemporaries and they knew one another. They were ten years ahead of the Germans and twenty years ahead of the Americans in their anti-gravity technology. Who knows what they may have achieved?

There have been many reports of UFOs in South America, especially along the edge of the mountainous jungles of the eastern Andes, from Bolivia to Venezuela. Is it possible that some of these UFOs are antigravity craft from the Ciudad Subterranean de los Andes?

UFO mania: Giant Alien Humanoids Evidence Destroyed?

A Supreme Court ruling, has forced the Smithsonian institution to release classified papers dating back to the turn of the century. which could prove the organization was involved in a monstrous historical coverup.

During the court case, new elements were brought to light, as several whistle blowers admitted to the existence of documents, that allegedly proved the destruction of tens of thousands of human skeletons, reaching between 6 feet and 12 feet in height.

UFO mania: Mystery Object Streaks Over Hawaii

 

A possible UFO has been caught by a timelapse camera over the skies of Hawaii.

The object which looks like a tube, appears to be traveling at a tremendous speed as it enters earths atmosphere.

We cannot rule out the possibility that this object is an extraterrestrial craft of some kind, possibly targeted in earths orbit by a military space weapon system, or perhaps the result of a catastrophic equipment failure onboard the craft.

Kreeg de  paus een laatste waar schuwing van de buitenaardsen?

( is dit gewoon een fantasierijke mythe of schuilt er meer achter? Beoordeel zelf even = opmerking peter2011)

Een voorganger van de huidige paus Franciscus, Johannes XXIII, legde de instructies van het Derde geheim van Fatima volkomen naast zich neer.

De gevolgen daarvan zijn desastreus en misschien krijgt Franciscus een laatste waarschuwing om de fout van zijn voormalig collega te herstellen.

Op 15 december werd er een heldere UFO waargenomen boven Rome. Deze werd eerst gesignaleerd boven het Vaticaan en zette vervolgens koers naar de Sint Pieter.

Op de volgende afbeelding zie je de Sint Pieter met rechts daarvan de UFO. De bewegende beelden zijn te zien in de video onderaan dit artikel. 

Achter de schermen speelt er veel meer dan wij denken. Het is niet alleen datgene wat wij waarnemen, maar ook de machtsstrijd tussen buitenaardse rassen waarmee wij te maken hebben. Onze westerse wereld staat onder controle van een bijzonder kwaadaardig buitenaards ras, zoals wij schreven in een eerder artikel:

Is er misschien een verband tussen de kinderen met de pikzwarte ogen en de Gray aliens? Hun boodschap via de graancirkel klinkt vriendelijk genoeg, maar net zoals Israël zijn ook de Grays meesters in deceptie.

Zo weten we dat de Amerikaanse overheid samenwerkt met een bijzonder kwaadaardige versie van dat ras. Die ook bekend staan onder de naam Zeta Reticulians of Reticulians omdat ze afkomstig zijn van een binair zonnenstelsel met de naam Zeta Reticuli.

Naast de Reticulians heeft de Amerikaanse overheid ook contact met de Alpha Draconians (beter bekend als de Reptielen) volgens de website Humansarefree.

De Reticulians zijn verantwoordelijk voor alle ontvoeringen en vee verminkingen, terwijl de Reptilians degenen zijn die onze leiders aansturen en verantwoordelijk zijn voor de slavernij van het mensenras.

De katholieke kerk en de paus hebben duidelijk gemaakt dat ook zij hebben gekozen voor de kwaadwillende buitenaardsen. Dit blijkt onder andere uit het Derde geheim van Fatima en de getuigenissen van een ex Jezuïet, Father Malachi Martin.

Iemand die een groot deel van zijn leven in en rond het Vaticaan heeft doorgebracht was de voormalig Jezuïet Father Malachi Martin. Wat hij te zeggen had over het derde geheim van Fatima was heel interessant in het licht van de gebeurtenissen die nu plaatsvinden. 

Volgens hem had zowel het tweede als het derde geheim betrekking op Rusland. Hij zegt dat het derde geheim inhield dat de toenmalige paus een mandaat kreeg om in 1960 in feite te fuseren met de Russisch orthodoxe kerk. Wanneer de paus hier geen gebruik van zou maken dan zou er een vreselijke oorlog volgen en de katholieke kerk van binnenuit worden vernietigd. 

De toenmalige paus Johannes XXIII legde het geheim van Fatima naast zich neer en besloot iets heel anders te doen.

In plaats van dat ze de waarschuwing en het advies/mandaat van Fatima opvolgden en daarmee een soort eenheid binnen de kerk zouden hebben bewerkstelligd, besloten ze in 1963 wél om iets anders te gaan doen, zoals wij schreven in een artikel over de macht van Lucifer (satan). 

"Malachi Martin, ex-Jezuïet, priester en insider van het Vaticaan, schrijft in zijn boek “Windswept House: a Vatican Novel” dat er in 1963 een satanisch ritueel is geweest in de Sint Pieter basiliek te Rome. Tijdens deze gebeurtenis met de naam “Het op de troon plaatsen van de gevallen aartsengel Lucifer” werd satan formeel op de troon geplaatst in het Vaticaan. 

  Het is ook niet voor niets dat er nu een Jezuïet tot paus is benoemd. Een ogenschijnlijk vriendelijke man, maar wel een die de navolgende eed heeft afgelegd.

Deze eed is verplicht voor álle Jezuïeten: “Ik verklaar dat ik geen opinie of wil van mijzelf heb (...) maar zonder te aarzelen elk commando dat ik ontvang van mijn superieuren in de Militie van de Paus en van Jezus Christus zal gehoorzamen”. 

“Ik beloof verder en verklaar dat ik, wanneer de gelegenheid zich voordoet, meedogenloze oorlog zal voeren, in het geheim of openbaar, tegen alle ketters, Protestanten en liberalen, zoals ik geïnstrueerd ben te doen, om ze uit te roeien en te verdelgen van de gehele aarde; en dat ik geen leeftijd, sekse of stand zal sparen; en dat ik zal ophangen, verbranden, doen wegkwijnen, koken, villen, wurgen en levend begraven deze schandelijke ketters, de magen en baarmoeders van hun vrouwen zal openrijten en de hoofden van hun kinderen tegen de muur zal verpletteren, met het doel hun afschuwelijke ras voor altijd te vernietigen. Wanneer dit niet openlijk gedaan kan worden, zal ik in het geheim de beker met gif gebruiken, het wurgende touw, het staal van de lange dolk of de loden kogel, ongeacht de eer, rang, waardigheid of autoriteit van de persoon of personen (...) zoals ik, wanneer dan ook, geïnstrueerd zal worden door een agent van de paus of superieur van de broederschap van het Heilige Geloof, van de Orde van Jezuïeten” 

Ogenschijnlijk is deze man begaan met het lot van de armen, maar ondertussen is zijn werkelijke agenda de wereldbevolking te sturen naar een wereldwijd soort communistische staatsvorm, in feite het promoten van Agenda 21.

Zo schreef hij enkele weken geleden een document waarin hij het kapitalisme “de nieuwe tirannie” noemde. Daarin roept hij dan ook op tot structurele veranderingen waardoor er volledige gelijkheid onder mensen zal ontstaan en dit uiteraard onder leiding van een centrale wereldregering.

Vlak nadat hij dit document heeft geschreven verschijnt er een UFO. Deze is eerst te zien boven het Vaticaan en begeeft zich vervolgens in de richting van de Sint Pieter.

Is het misschien een UFO die toebehoort aan de “goede” buitenaardsen waarmee Vladimir Poetin een overeenkomst heeft gesloten. Een UFO die de paus komt waarschuwing dat de klok op twee voor twaalf staat en dat hij alsnog de mogelijkheid heeft om de fout van zijn voorganger goed te maken?

Het is te hopen, maar aan de andere kant, eens een Jezuïet, alàtijd een Jezuïet.
