ARE UFOS DEEMED DEMONIC? - PART I
ARE UFOS DEEMED DEMONIC? - PART I
It all began in late 1978 as two Air Force intelligence officer began an in depth study of the Project Blue Book files. The now defunct records of a 23 year investigation by the US Air Force of unknown aerial phenomena yielded some interesting and controversial conclusions by the two airmen. As time went on not just the Christian clergy, who saw UFO's as the Devil's work or debunkers who refused to look at the convincing evidence of UFO existence could comprehend the disturbing findings of many dedicated researchers who had delved into the perplexing reality of the unknown.
An illuminating text
A well known book was written and published in the 1970's by a pastor who well referenced his argument using scripture that corroborated UFO type events within the pages of the Bible. Many were impressed with the content and thoroughness of this book, but it has gone out of publication and is very hard to find. I have talked to many people who read it and marveled at the data within it, but sadly cannot no longer find this rare and ethereal work.
The common disguise
Ask Mark E. Laughlin, an evangelical performer and student of the Bible who invariably agrees that in ancient times as well as today that indeed entities from another world, dimension, or realm have come to earth and have interacted with humans. Under the aegis of fallen angels, demonic entities, beings of light, spiritual guides, Tulpas, fairies, elementals, these bizarre beings possessing incredible powers all seem to have one purpose, and that is to inflict confusion, fear, and false beliefs among those they appear before.
From where?
Even though few of us that have an objective view of science and faith would concede that extraterrestrials do not exist at all we should acknowledge that there is another mysterious force manifesting itself here on earth. That force has been with us since the beginning of time and has sought to mislead us from finding the truth and perhaps even being able to know the will of God as we are plunged into a twilight world of strange beings who misinform us, and use false guidance to lead us anywhere but in the right direction.
John Keel's findings
The late author and journalist John A. Keel determined that UFO's came from the same realm as spirits, ghosts, hauntings, ectoplasmic phenomenon, and other related super natural manifestations that have puzzled researchers for a long time. According to Keele the same old "Broken Record in the Sky" was responsible for misleading many a desperate leader into oblivion. Take for example two well known religious leaders in human history also deceived and led to destruction by a close encounter with a mystical being.
All roads leading to death
Joseph Smith, originator of the Mormon's was visited by an angel of light who when he encountered this entity collapsed, became paralyzed, and had no choice but to listen to a message supposedly delivered by God from the luminous entity. Joseph Smith would recover from his vision and begin an obsessive journey into the transformation of a messiah who would later be killed in a riot in Chicago!
Prophets of doom
Mohamed, who would later form the Muslim religion was illuminated just as Joseph Smith when a blinding entity appeared unto him, rendering him helpless as the being of light directed him to form a new religion that would have an impact on the world in many controversial ways. Mohamed created a religion that has handed mankind a global wave of terrorism implemented by extremists. One must ask why would an extraterrestrial race want to interject this kind of aberration into the psyche of mankind? It does not seem to serve a practical purpose for someone from another world.
From outer space-really?
Yet, here we have a question posed by many scientists who have pondered UFO's, abductions, and the psychological effects suffered by witnesses. It seems there can be no definitive link that proves that UFO's come from anywhere else but here. They are usually not observed by astronomers as entering into our solar system from beyond. They generally manifest themselves on earth or above the us in the atmosphere. They have been reported for thousands of years as opposed to the sudden emergence in the 20th Century. It appears that they have been with us since the beginning!
Unsettling prognostication
Consider long time scientific researchers J. Allen Hynek, astrophysicist and Blue Book advisor for the USAF as well as well known scientific researcher Jacques Vallee. These two men after decades of studying the UFO mystery came to a startling conclusion! They had determined that UFO's were indeed demonic in origin! Both of these dedicated investigators had considered the nuts and bolts aspects of flying machines that out performed the most advanced military aircraft of all nations with incredible maneuvers that would have destroyed the fuselage of the craft or killed the pilot of a UFO undergoing excessive G forces. Making right angle turns at thousands of miles per hour without even causing a sonic boom was not just an example of technical superiority, it pointed ominously to something else!
Odd materializations
When supposed extraterrestrial entities could walk through walls as had been suspected by Paul Bennewitz who later died, driven crazy by the unknown and by the counter intelligence efforts of the US Air Force, when aerial balls of light could plunge to earth and pass through the ground without an explosion, these were not necessarily mechanical or electronic events from another world! What these bizarre manifestations pointed to was super natural. Something penetrating our reality from another dimension or parallel universe, not a high performance piece of hardware manufactured by a foreign civilization, was suspected.
Why not pick up the phone?
It was considered that if these otherworldly entities were so much smarter than us, and possessed technology so much more advanced than anything we had invented, then why hadn't they simply taken the planet from us a long time ago? Italian physicist, Enrico Fermi, one of the leading influences in the invention of the atomic bomb wondered why if ET had been here for so long, hadn't he picked up the phone, so to speak, and contacted us? After all, by the 1940's the first television and radio transmissions were well on their way into space traveling at light speed and capable of being picked by our closest extra solar neighbors.
Uncertainty
Yet, in all this, what we seem to have established for certain without knowing a motive, without a technical explanation of their method of propulsion, without knowing their supposed planets of origin, we do know that they are mysterious, secretive, unwilling to make open diplomatic contact, and have caused many negative psychological and physical effects upon those who have encountered their presence. Hence, we can make the determination that they are indeed hostile. They are not benevolent as some people have theorized. These actions perpetrated on the part of these so called entities usually is disturbing and potentially dangerous, or at the very least, mischievous.
In Part II we will come to some very disturbing conclusions as who or what UFO's are or who is responsible for their appearance in our space time continuum.
In 1974 from the college campus of the University of Texas at Austin students watched in amazement as airborne unidentified objects streaked across the sky at fantastic speeds and made 90 degree right angle turns without slowing down! Such maneuvers would not only have developed G-forces that would have killed the pilots, but most certainly would have demolished the fuselage of any conventional craft as well. Aerodynamicists well versed in the amazing flight characteristics of UFO's considered their capabilities to be a matter of neutralizing gravity around the vessel so as to render such destructive forces as gravity and atmospheric friction to be obviated in flight making such amazing high speed performance possible.
Aircraft industrial giants such as Lear Jet, Boeing, Bell, Rockwell, and Lockheed, all major defense contractors set about the task of pursuing the neutralization of gravity surrounding the hull and immediate proximity of their aerial vehicles. Several of these company's spokesman made outlandish predictions about new speed and incredible performance that would be attainable, but after millions of dollars and several years enthusiasm for such projects begin to fade. It seemed that human technology or the hypothetical approach they had undertaken were flawed in some way. The deaths of several well known test pilots also resulted. It was as though man had approached the mythical “Sound Barrier” obstacle again and could not overcome the requirements to achieve the advancement.
Spellbound
Analyzing the films of UFO's making amazing maneuvers that left our best fighter jets and aviators impotently behind began to yield new insight into what these objects could actually be. Flying at terrific speeds, making drastic turns without destroying the aircraft or its occupant, they reasoned was not necessarily a technical issue of structure, propulsion, or gravitational counteraction. There was something else, perhaps even more disturbing!
Made of what?
Analysts began to speculate that perhaps a new approach needed to be conceptualized. Were these objects actually “nuts and bolts” machines at all? Could they be ethereal? Could they be from another dimension? Could they come from a spiritual realm? Remember that two former USAF officers after reviewing Project Blue Book files pronounced UFO's as being demonic activity! Why? The CIA as early as 1952 suspected that as opposed to conventional propulsion that UFO's could be using an electro magnetic type of system.
Theories
Some investigators thought that UFO's could simply be time travelers who had ventured back into our era and yet were unrecognizable to us. It was clear that while mankind pursued technical innovation as one realm of propulsion and performance there were things that were not adding up, things that did not obey the laws of physics. Perhaps more unconventional thinking would provide an explanation.
Another realm
The late John A. Keel observed that most all UFO characteristics noted shared commonalities with the supernatural, hauntings, angelic visitations, ectoplasmic manifestations, messages passed onto percipients that caused illuminations. From abductions to incredible displays of glowing objects breaking into several different ships and flying away in separate paths, it seemed that a rich history in the human past had already accounted for the present day appearance of UFO's.
Parallels
Fallen angels (demons) well known in the Bible and other religious texts were timeless! The Lord's angels (beings with fantastic powers) seemed to parallel many of the described features noted from witness accounts when observing landings and the rare observation of beings setting foot on the ground after such occurrences. The ability to paralyze humans, the use of magical types of instruments or wands, the transmission of messages from the realm of a wiser more advanced race. These were the often similarly reported manifestations of the demonic realm.
Who are they?
For centuries the reported nocturnal realm of young women being subjected to nocturnal sexual visitations, the infamous incubus! Just as the medically invasive experimentation being reported by modern day abductees seems a throwback to the fears, superstition, and evil spirits of the Middle Ages and beyond! According to Jim Maars, preceding every deadly outbreak of the plague through out Europe, a mysterious robed figure would be observed raising a sword or amulet over its head and solenmly bowing forward toward the ground!
Powers beyond humans
Angels appeared to both Mohammed and John Smith paralyzing both men and then illuminating them with an obsession to create a new religion! One might ask just why when we accept Jesus Christ as our savior who died for our sins is another White Messiah referred to at about the same time frame across the world in the southern hemisphere of the Americas appearing to the Mayans as their spiritual master? it seems that a magical, inexplicable, and even damning mystery perpetuates itself in our history changing its reference to suit the next generation of humans to become more relevant to the technological level of the day.
From the past
John A.Keel pointed at that many bizarre news stories were printed during the pioneer days of the “Old West” that described nocturnal baptisms in rivers suddenly being struck by a powerful beam of light from the night sky! One old news story told of a being who descended to earth in a gondola or bucket that hung from an aerial cigar suspended by a sky rope. This man in a uniform skirted just above the ground frieghtening townspeople as he hung from the airborne vessel that flew above the astonished settlers who could only identify the spectacle as a product of evil or witchcraft!
From evil?
Were Von Daniken's brilliant observations leading to the theory of “Ancient Astronauts” hypothesizes that they are from somewhere else in the universe, but we really have no proof of that according to John A. Keel, but we do have proof that they have been with us a long time seemingly coexisting on the same plane here on earth. If they have always been here were they created the same time as Adam and Eve by God when Satan was cast down from heaven along with his minions? Remember that Lucifer is the great deciever and will untilize any angle in order to distract believers from their faith in God. Using demons in the guise of aliens wouldn't be a stretch for the Prince of Darkness!
Mothman
In his book “Mothman Prophecies” John A. Keel put forth the proposition that entities existing on a different vibrational plane, existing beyond the limited light spectrum that we can see, being imperceptible by the fact that we hear on such a narrow band of frequencies, would we not be like plants who move ever so slowly compared to us, who sense light and darkness without our more sophisticated perception, that to a plant we would seem invisible and mysterious just as Mothman might seem to those who had their brief and chilling enocunters. Was Mothman merely a harbinger of disaster, or simply able to see further into the future than we and thus capable of warning us in its own mysterious way? Indeed,was the Mothman a demon or angel of death?
Of what and from where?
As for the UFO, glowing, elegantly designed, possessing incredible mobility, and yet having unknown origins of which we can only guess, are they simply a dance of light from the spirit realm, the intrusion of one dimension into our own leaving no trace as to their whereabouts, are they really composed of hardware or of a form of God-like mind over matter. Keel spoke of what the Himilayans refer to as Tulpas. When the mind concentrates so effectively that it can create a physical manifestation.
The shadow
During the 1930's and 1940's radio became an important tool of entertainment for the masses who got their news of the world but also incredibly well performed theater shows that left the listener spellbound. “The Shadow” was a very successful running show that ran for many years. It's creator lived in Hollywood and spent many long evenings writing stories for the show. After his death the new owners were horrified to see a shadow across the walls that depicted the same myseterious character that dwelled in the minds of the adoring listening audience that had sat glued to their chairs as the radion show cast its hypnotic spell. It seemed the creator of “The Shadow” had left a paranormal residue even after his death that still dwelled in the premises of his Hollywood home.
A reader's take on the subject
In writing my column for the Plano Star Courier years agao entitled “Unexplained Mysteries” I recieved a letter from one of my regular readers who made an interesting observation. He said that it seemed to him that UFO's only seemed to create confusion, chaos, and fear from an unknown realm. To this day I would have to agree as well as to add to this that we can only speculate without assurance as to where they do come from. This has led many to the conclusion that they may be demonic in nature as opposed to being intruders from outer space.
In Part III will shall explore further on this topic

Transforming UFO captured by Robert Bingham near Sony Studios in Culver City, Los Angeles, CA. The UFO is a captured facade that actually transforms in front of your eyes.
This is a foundational video for those who are stuck with inductive reasoning. Just because it is colored like a duck, quacks like a duck and swims like a duck, doesn’t mean it is not a decoy. This 5:20 second video reveals a transformation beyond belief within 64 seconds of the tape.
Most people would have intuitively reasoned and judged this object within 15 seconds and not wasted their time to view the object any further much less taped it.
Robert Bingham noticed subtle indications of imitation prior to transformation and continued to videotape the object. As the tape progresses, you will find that this object transforms into the same pattern over and over again. Please note that towards the end of the tape, it reveals its interior (black) as it closes up, something you have to see in order to believe.

Amazing footage by the masterful artist of Summoning UFOs, Robert Bingham.
Only partially completed, but showed signs of being over 1200 tons and 137 feet when done. How was this obelisk in Northern Egypt created and how would they have raised or move this? These are just some of the questions baffling everyone. Best guess include the use of hard stones or chisels to split the rock and wooden wedges shoved into it and water added. Wet wood could swell and create pressure.
Here (below) is a perspective of the carving process.
Source: In this photo (below) we can see the ancient conventional technology of using wooden wedges, but how about the “scooping method” in the center? Some theorize that the latter has nothing to do with the Dynastic Egyptians at all, but is the work of an older culture, called the Khemitians who had sonic and or vibrational technology. By setting their tools to a vibration that would make the quartz in the granite unstable, the stone would naturally crumble like a sugar cube with each controlled pass of the device.
A little research into these “Khemitians” and I found this - Source: A race called Khemitian's occupied northern Africa long before Egyptians did. It was know as the land of Osiris. Quite a few experts are beginning to believe that the pyramids, and Sphinx, were built before the Egyptians (as Parker suggest , the water marks,floods, important ancient weather cycles, etc…a great part of very, very ancient Egypt was marsh; lake lands) though built by these Khemitians is not clear. Osiris is one of the main ancient Egyptian God. Some link the word Osiris to the star Sirius, a close neighbor to our solar system. At certain times of the year,with the position of Sirius, the Nile goes through it's yearly flooding, giving renewed life. Khemitian's state that they had contact with Star People to give them knowledge. This and Egyptians belief in a star gate, and star people draw interest, also the highly developed Sumerian civilization carried the same belief structure. Even MesoAmerican, through Peru, held the same ideas. As a general composite, star people tend to be lighter skinned, white or blond hair, beards and tall…and travel in sky boats (aircraft). This theory, and a great flood (maybe more than one), seems to be a link of the many ancient culture from around the world. Also linked is that Star people, built or gave instructions, as how to build temples, pyramids, farming, writing, etc. Who built these obelisks? We have nothing more than the guesses that a people living in the area in that time might have been responsible. How did they learn to do things that did not continue on as advanced knowledge? Why didn't this knowledge get passed down? As we tear up Mother Earth, no doubt we will find more and more examples of things that don't jive with what we thought we knew. That today we baffle at how they did these tasks, says a lot about how extraordinary they were. More info: Construction Baffling questions
A utube video from UFOVNI shows a car driving through a thunderstorm in Alma Nebraska , complete with the lightening flashes, it’s when all the sudden this UFO missile shaped object quickly comes into view, streaming across the sky, there even looks to be a possible exhaust trail of some type?

POLICE OFFICERS UFO ENCOUNTER WITH A TRIANGLE OVER ILLINOIS
JANUARY 5, 2000 …………… ST CLAIR COUNTY ILLINOIS
On Wednesday, January 05, 2000, the National UFO Reporting Center received two telephone messages (at0316 and 0351 hrs. Pacific Standard Time) from Officer Thomas “Ed” Barton, employed by the Lebanon, IL, Police Department. The messages apprised our Center that a UFO sighting had occurred in St. Clair County, Illinois, and in surrounding areas, at approximately 0410 hrs. (Central) earlier that morning. Later the same morning, we were able to talk to Officer Barton, who reported to us the following: At approximately 0410 hrs. (Central) on that morning, he overheard an announcement by the St. Clair (IL) Emergency Dispatch operator that a citizen had entered the Highland, IL, police station, and requested that an officer go outside and view a very peculiar object that was hovering nearby in the sky. The citizen had witnessed the bizarre looking object on his way to work, and he apparently refused to leave the station until a police officer had viewed the object with him. Having heard the announcement about the incident over his radio, Officer Barton looked to the southeast from his location in Lebanon, and noticed two extremely bright white lights suspended in the sky, close to the horizon. The two lights were radiating so much light that the spectacle reminded Officer Barton of the Japanese “Rising Sun” symbol, used on the Japanese battle flag. A very short period of time later, the two large lights appeared to merge into one, and the illumination the object was radiating appeared to increase dramatically. Officer Barton began driving south and east in attempt to approach the object. He turned his overhead flashers on, and at times was driving at 75-80 m.p.h. toward the object, which was still generally to the southeast of his position.
After a short period of time, Officer Barton realized that the object appeared to be traveling toward him. He stopped his vehicle, extinguished his overhead flashers, and rolled down the window on the passenger side of his vehicle. The object approached his location, and passed overhead at an estimated altitude of 1,000 to 1,500 feet, and within an estimated 100 feet lateral distance of his position on the ground. It was headed generally to the west, or northwest, at this time. The object was distinctly triangular in shape, with three white lights on the apices of the triangle, and it exhibited a “galaxy” of peculiar lights on its aft end, including white, hues of red or pink, and perhaps other colors, as well. After passing overhead Officer Barton, the object suddenly turned to its left, without either banking or yawing apparently, it suddenly accelerated quite dramatically, and seemed to “streak” to the west, covering approximately 8 miles, the officer estimated, in approximately 3 seconds.
(Note: Officer Barton, in multiple telephone conversations with our organization, and during at least one radio broadcast, has emphasized how almost unbelievably quickly the object accelerated and moved a considerable distance to the southwest in just a few seconds. Its velocity was almost unimaginable, he reports. This is one aspect of the case that strongly suggest to us that the object almost certainly was not of human manufacture.) He radioed St. Clair County Emergency Dispatch, apprising them that he had the object in sight, and advising them as to the direction it had moved, generally to the southwest. He recommended that dispatch contact units to the south and west of his position, e.g. Shiloh, Millstadt and Dupo, to have the officers there attempt to spot the object from their vantage points. Apparently at least one officer from Shiloh, IL, witnessed the object next, and two other officers, who have not come forward and who apparently do not wish to be identified, witnessed the object while they were standing in the cemetery of their town, as well. An officer from the Millstadt Police Department, Officer Craig Stevens, with whom NUFORC also spoke, overheard the broadcast, and moved his cruiser to a dark part of that town to see if he could spot the object in the night sky. He quickly spotted the object to the west of his location, at approximately 45 degrees above the horizontal plane, and gauged its size as “huge.” He estimated that it was “one or two stories” tall, and perhaps three stories long.” It had several very bright lights on it. St. Clair Dispatch requested that someone, if possible, attempt to get a photograph of the object. In response to that request, Officer Stevens removed polaroid-type camera stored in the trunk of his cruiser and quickly photographed the object. Because the outside temperature was low, approximately 18-20 degrees (F), neither the camera, nor the film functioned well, so the resolution of the photograph is not good. After Officer Stevens had taken the photograph, the object appeared to move further to the west, moving toward Dupo, IL, Cahokia, IL, and St. Louis, MO. A Dupo police officer may have witnessed the object at that time. In the final analysis, the police departments and communities involved in the incident include the following: Highland, Summerfield, Lebanon, Shiloh, Mascoutah, Millstadt, Dupo, and Cahokia, Illinois. The object was observed by officers from at least the following communities (in chronological sequence): Lebanon, Shiloh, Millstadt, Dupo, and Cahokia.
Engelse overheid houdt schokkende UFO-dossiers achter ( Video )
Engelse overheid houdt schokkende UFO-dossiers achter ( Video )
Ufologen in Engeland hebben hun overheid ervan beschuldigd belangrijke UFO dossiers, die allang vrijgegeven hadden moeten worden, achter te houden.
Het gaat om 18 stuks waarover door het Ministerie van Defensie moeilijk wordt gedaan, met waarschijnlijk schokkende informatie.
Eind vorig jaar beloofde het Engelse Ministerie van Defensie om deze 18 dossiers vrij te geven, maar tot nu toe nog steeds niets.
Na vragen uit de politiek bekende het leger dat ze deze bepaalde files nog niet hadden vrijgegeven. De reden die ze daarvoor opgaven was onzinnig, “additional processing requirements”
Wat valt er aan die dossiers te “processen”? Misschien documenten en foto’s zodanig onleesbaar maken dat niemand er wat aan heeft?
Al met al moet dit zo lang gaan duren dat het Ministerie niet verwacht de dossiers voor eind 2015 of zelfs 2016 vrij te zullen geven.
UFO deskundige Nick Pope vermoedt ook een geweldige adder onder het gras: “Het vermoeden bestaat dat er iets schokkends in deze dossiers zal staan en dat het Ministerie niet weet hoe ze daar mee om moeten gaan.
Het vermoeden bestaat eveneens dat een aantal van die dossiers gerelateerd zal zijn aan de gebeurtenissen in Rendlesham Forest, ook wel het Britse Roswell genoemd.
Eén van de Amerikanen die betrokken was bij het incident in Rendlesham Forest, John Burroughs, heeft eindelijk erkenning gekregen en daarmee dat het Amerikaanse leger de kosten van zijn behandelingen gaat betalen. Behandelingen die nodig waren omdat hij na de gebeurtenissen alle klassieke symptomen van stralingsziekte vertoonde, waaronder hartklachten, zoals wij onlangs schreven in een eerder artikel.
De mainstream media doet het feit dat het Ministerie van Defensie in Engeland tijd rekt, af door te zeggen dat er waarschijnlijk niets over UFO’s en buitenaardsen in die dossiers zal staan, maar meer over geheime wapens en dergelijke, waarvan ze niet willen dat deze informatie naar buiten komt.
Hoe dan ook, iedereen zal voorlopig moeten wachten en wanneer er uiteindelijk iets komt dan nog zullen de resultaten waarschijnlijk tegenvallen in het “kader van de nationale veiligheid.”
Hoe de afgelopen decennia is omgegaan met betrouwbare UFO informatie door overheden blijkt uit de gebeurtenissen rondom vlucht 1628 van Japan Airlines.
We hebben hier te maken met de waarneming van een ervaren bemanning, waarvan de captain zelfs meer dan 10.000 vlieguren heeft.
Het vrachtvliegtuig was in november 1986 onderweg van Reykjavik naar Anchorage, toen het boven het oostelijk deel van Alaska een ontmoeting had met enkele UFO’s.
Wat hier vrij uniek was, was dat de UFO's te zien waren op de radarsystemen van de verkeersleiding. Al met al duurde de ontmoeting ongeveer 40 minuten en in die tijd zag de bemanning dat de kleinere UFO’s zich vervoegden bij een moederschip dat het vliegtuig bleef volgen.
Na de landing werd alles wat er gebeurd was gerapporteerd door de bemanning, inclusief tekeningen van de UFO's en het moederschip.
Als beloning voor het rapporteren van deze waarneming werd de gezagvoerder Captain Kenju Terauchi geschorst en mocht de eerstvolgende jaren niet meer vliegen.
Omdat deze waarneming was gedaan door een ervaren vliegtuigbemanning kreeg het veel media aandacht. Ook de Amerikaanse FAA besteedde er een onderzoek aan en kwam na drie maanden tot de conclusie dat wat de verkeersleiding op de radar had gezien een wat zij noemden “split radar image” geweest moest zijn. Dat ze niet twijfelden aan de oprechtheid van de bemanning, maar dat zij te weinig bewijs hadden. Kortom het zal allemaal wel verbeelding geweest zijn.
En zo is het eigenlijk permanent gegaan door de jaren heen. Betrouwbare observaties door deskundigen werden in de doofpot gekieperd. Dossiers gingen achter slot en grendel en als er al een keer iets openbaar gemaakt moet worden dan maar zoveel mogelijk tijdrekken en documenten onleesbaar maken.
En de bevolking? Die slikt het allemaal als zoete koek want UFO’s en buitenaardsen bestaan toch niet.... dat weet iedereen.

The Role of Superior Civilization On The Ancient Stone Head Of Guatemala
The Role of Superior Civilization On The Ancient Stone Head Of Guatemala
A gigantic stone head discovered over 50 years ago quickly attracted attention. Its face with excellent features was directed up at the sky. It has thin lips and large nose with a face demonstrating Caucasian features. Interestingly, the Caucasian features were not consistent with any of the America’s pre-Hispanic races.
The discovery first made into the news when Dr. Oscar Rafael Padilla Lara, received the picture of the head in 1987. The photograph includes a description stating that it was taken in the 1950s by the owner of the land where the head was discovered. The location was said to be somewhere in the jungles of Guatemala.
The story about the photograph was first featured in a small article in the newsletter Ancient Skies. When explorer and author David Hatcher Childress read about it, he then tried to find Dr. Padilla, who reportedly met the Biener family, the owners of the property. The location was about 10 kilometers from a small village in La Democracia in the southern part of Guatemala.
However, Dr. Padilla said that he was sad to know that the head had been destroyed by revolutionaries around ten years ago before he reached the area. He said that they had located the statue too late. The figure was reportedly used as a target practice by anti-government rebels. The face, according to Padilla, was totally disfigured that the nose and mouth had completely gone. Padilla managed to measure its height as between 4 and 6 meters, with the head resting on the neck. Padilla decided not to return to the area because of the danger caused by armed attacks between government and rebel forces.
The story about the giant head was gone along with the head destruction until it was picked up again by filmmakers a few years ago. The group behind “Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond” used the photograph to support the claim that extra-terrestrials have had contact with past civilizations. The producer presented a document allegedly written by Guatemalan archeologist Hector E. Majia. The document stated that Majia certifies that the monument shows no characteristics of any pre-Hispanic civilizations, including the Maya, Nahuatl, and Olmec. Majia reportedly believes that it was created by an extraordinary and superior civilization with advanced knowledge.
Skeptics say that the letter and the rest of the story about the gigantic head were just part of the publicity stunt, and the authenticity of the letter itself has been drawn into question. Nevertheless, no evidence to suggest that the photograph is fabricated or the account of Dr. Padilla was not real.

Lake Baikal in Siberia has been home to a spate of peculiar sightings and strange tales in recent years.
With a depth of 5387ft the lake is so big that it contains 20% of all the surface freshwater in the entire world. How it became such a hotbed for reports of unexplained phenomena however isn't exactly clear, but so many people have seen things there now that it's difficult to deny that something strange has been going on.
One particularly intriguing tale was recounted by Valery Rudentsov who, along with twelve other people, witnessed something extraordinary back in April 1987 at Kurma in the region of Irkutsk.
"At about 12.20am, one of our guys went out into the yard, a few seconds later runs, and calls all of us out," she said. "He stood in the centre of the yard and pointed his finger at the sky."
"Diagonally from his gesture - 150 meters above us hung a huge flying saucer. From the centre of the plate went a phosphorescent purple ray. And at the edges of the plate were yellow portholes, almost like in our rural houses. The diameter of the plate was 70 meters."
According to Rudentsov the object made no sound at all throughout the encounter.
"It was a full moon and the visibility was so clear that no one of us could doubt the reality of what we saw," she said. "And then the plate slid smoothly away, sailed along the shore of the bay and further slipped into the hills of Olkhon."
Another well known case, which was covered extensively on local TV stations at the time, occurred in the Kyakhtinsky district in 1990 when locals reported a peculiar yellow light and the appearance of a disc-shaped object in the sky from which several figures in shining suits emerged.
Nobody knew who they were or what they were doing, but upon noticing that they were being watched the visitors quickly retreated in to their craft and took off, never to be seen again.

5 Facts About UFOs That 'Experts' Won’t Tell You
5 Facts About UFOs That 'Experts' Won’t Tell You
With the economic crisis and other daily obligations that occupy most people’s time and energy, the average person is probably not that concerned about UFOs. However if a little more attention was paid to this topic, the American public may become overwhelmingly intrigued over the relevance this topic has to world affairs, their tax dollars, and their daily lives. In fact, we would be quite amazed to know the truth about UFOs and probably more shocked to uncover the misconceptions that have been intentionally spread about them.
Before you assume this topic is for those eccentric people with tin-foiled helmets living out of their parent’s basement and nothing better to do with their lives, we’ve put together a super-simple list about UFOs that should prompt us ‘everyday folks’ to become more inquisitive about this worldwide phenomena.
1. The wheel-like planes that Minister Farrakhan represents do exist! These are the planes that other entities have labeled as ‘unidentified flying objects’ (UFOs), flying saucers, spheres, and disc-shaped objects. They are intelligently controlled and have technological capabilities that are incomprehensible by this world’s standards. In 2008 the Associated Press Poll reported that 14 percent of the American people have seen UFOs, which indicates that over 40 million U.S. citizens have actually seen these crafts for themselves. A 2012 National Geographic survey reported that 80 million Americans believe in UFOs. With millions of witnesses, thousands of videos, photos, and thousands of annual reports, there is no logical reason not to accept the fact that such planes exist. Several other polls show that nearly half of the American people believe in UFOs. This number has included many of the U.S. Presidents like Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, and others. Even President Obama’s senior advisor John Podesta is publicly calling for full government exposure and scientific analysis of this phenomenon.
Based on these facts, more people have seen these wheels than the number of people who live in the state of Tennessee (less than seven million). To deny that these planes exist would be just as absurd as stating that Tennessee doesn’t exist.
2. A Black Man introduced this reality to the modern world. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (eternal leader of the Nation of Islam) claims to have met the Supreme Being (God in person) who showed him this huge wheel-shaped plane along with its smaller crafts (now labeled UFOs). Since the early 1930s, Elijah Muhammad gave vivid firsthand details about these crafts and their purposes in the world directly from the source of these wheels. Interestingly all official reports, mass sightings, and governmental investigations of UFOs came afterwards. In fact, the terms ‘flying saucer’ and ‘UFO’ did not become a part of the world’s vernacular until the 1940s. The Nation of Islam (NOI) has always known the reality of these wheels and their divine role, which has strangely been ignored by many of those who claim to be experts in this subject.
Even more shocking is that Elijah Muhammad and his chief representative, Louis Farrakhan, have dared the world’s powers to disprove their relationship with these crafts. Surprisingly NONE have contended with them, not even their staunchest critics! This should tell you something.
3. There is a global UFO cover-up! World governments, military powers, and mainstream media work in collusion to prevent the public from knowing the truth about UFOs. Instead of challenging Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan to prove their relationship with these wheels, the media deludes the public with images of fictitious aliens and monsters. Unfortunately, this may explain why many people have been dissuaded from looking deeper into this topic.
After several decades of denial, the U.S. Government has just recently admitted that Area 51 exists. If the Government has lied about whether or not a geographical location exists, it would be highly irrational to believe they are telling the truth about UFOs. After all, the U.S. Government’s agencies initiated an ongoing disinformation campaign against both the NOI and the reality of UFOs.
Even persons who have worked within the government and the military have found tremendous difficulties when attempting to ascertain data concerning UFOs. It is a topic still considered ‘above top secret.’
4. UFOs have nothing to do with aliens—or any monstrous extraterrestrials we’ve seen in the movies. With all of the data that proves that UFOs exist, there is nothing that suggests that they are of alien origin. Largely due to Hollywood’s depictions, many assume they are aliens because they can’t believe that there are certain ‘people’ more intelligent and powerful than the power structures of this current world. Elijah Muhammad spoke of his personal relationship with many of the ‘people’ who control these circular crafts whom he referred to as ‘scientists’ or ‘angels’. That’s right, the angels you’ve read about are realistic people of extraordinary intelligence and power. You wouldn’t know them from the average person because they all have special assignments from the Supreme Being.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his servant, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, have further illustrated that the prophetic visions of the scriptures also show that these planes are not from “outer space.” The earthly origins of these crafts are demonstrated by the Prophet Ezekiel who saw these wheels being “lifted up” from the earth; he did not see them come down from “outer space” (Ezekiel 1:19)—that pretty much debunks the “Ancient Alien Astronaut” theory.
5. They have everything to do with the ‘Chosen People’, and the prophetic time in which we live. Religions have not been able to fully justify the origin and purpose of UFOs with their traditional beliefs, which is why most theological studies ignore the UFO topic altogether. Ironically, all of the scriptures give vivid prophecies about God and his angels operating from an earthly and celestial position. Yet, mainstream religions have had problems reconciling this phenomena with their traditional theologies. This is why the prophecies of the Bible and Holy Qur’an speak of God preparing one who would unlock the deeper meaning of the scriptures. If these planes exist as contemporary data shows, then religious scholars will have to admit that Elijah Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan have been right and exact all along!
The fact remains that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Louis Farrakhan don’t approach this subject as theorists; instead, these men give factual evidence that can be proven (and now seen) beyond doubt. Hence, they are the most authoritative sources on this topic capable of providing answers to this global phenomenon.
Though many religious leaders, academic scholars, politicians, and scientists have treated Minister Farrakhan’s association to these wheels like the proverbial “elephant in the room,” several people in these arenas are increasingly bearing witness to this profound reality. This is largely due to the noble efforts of Minister Farrakhan’s public broadcasts, The Time And What Must Be Done where he has made his position very clear on this issue, which emboldens those who have known the truth of the wheels, but didn’t have the courage to stand up for the truth.
As sightings continue to increase and questions arise, just know that Minister Farrakhan has answers to this worldwide phenomena. The more the public seriously inquires about this intriguing subject, the more they will realize that this reality involves a child of slaves who encountered the Supreme Being who produced these wheel-like objects for the salvation of his people and the destruction of their open enemies. Now it becomes understandable why world powers have deliberately attempted to conceal the truth about these wheels and their representative, Minister Louis Farrakhan.
Ilia Rashad Muhammad is part of the Nation of Islam Research Group (NOIRG) and he is the author of the recently released book UFOs And The Nation Of Islam: The Source, Proof, And Reality Of The Wheels available at nationbrothers.com.

Classic Moments in UFOlogy Ep#7 – Dr. John Mack Interview
Classic Moments in UFOlogy Ep#7 – Dr. John Mack Interview
Gepubliceerd op 3 apr. 2015
The field of Ufology is vast. Vast in the sense that there is so much history to understand before you can truly understand where we are now. The UFO is an enigma. The current state of events is built upon all the people who come before us.
The study of UFOlogy is the study of the strange, weird, and truly bizarre. It is hard for new people to Ufology to know what to believe and where to start. We must not forget history as it is the ashes in which we climb from today.
There are pivotal events that have occurred over the past 70 years of modern Ufology that need to be known. Our video series (Classic Moments In Ufology) strives to preserve and update the existing media for a new generation of Ufologists.
In this our 7th episode you will hear the legendary Dr. John Mack interview with Oprah Winfrey from 1958. The video has been cleaned up by denoizing and stabilizing the original footage. Mack says although he himself has never encountered an alien, the interviews he did for the book convinced him of their existence.
"Ninety people have had these experiences and they were very powerful for them," Mack says "I can't find any explanation for this."
Similar reports of abduction by aliens have come from sane, rational individuals from across the nation who have not had contact with each other, Mack says.
"This occurs in people who do not have psychological illnesses and have nothing to gain by it," Mack says. "It even occurs in kids less than three years old, which rules out a complicated personality theory."
Evidence also includes physical marks on the bodies of experiencers, and the common phenomenon of people who awake upside down in bed.
"Mack's work is extraordinarily legitimate," says Rudy Schields, a friend of Mack's and an astrophysicist at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
"His approach is as accurate as anything in the behavioral sciences. His methods and procedures are as good as anybody's," Schields says.

A 300 Million Year Old Screw? Researchers Baffled
A 300 Million Year Old Screw? Researchers Baffled
April 4, 2015 - There are numerous archaeological discoveries that science cannot understand, we have come across countless findings that have ended up as being just that, findings that have caught the attention of researchers, but have yet to be accurately explained.
In this case we have a screw that according to researchers is 300 million years old, and like many awkward discoveries in the past, it was found in Russia in the 90’s.
Russian scientists found it by chance actually, as they were performing analysis after the fall of a meteorite in the Kaluga region when they came across a mysterious object that resembled a modern-day screw. Scientists were baffled and did not know what to think of it. Did it come from space? Is this screw proof of ancient civilizations that inhabited Earth millions of years ago? What is it?
The fossil surrounding the screw has around 2 cm long. It was discovered in a scientific expedition that was performed by a group called the Kosmopoisk group, which is scientific research group responsible to conduct UFO related research, cryptozoological research and paranormal pseudoscience. Initially they suited up and went to search for the remains of the meteorite that impacted the Kaluga region in Russia. Suddenly, they came across the screw, and incredibly, after paleontological analysis, it turned out that the age of the “stone” was somewhere between 300 and 320 million years. The artifact was analyzed using X-Ray technology, which provided researchers with another shock, it turned out that another screw was present inside it.
Many scientists have tried explaining the origin and details of the “screw”, some have proposed that it could be the remains of a Crinoids (Marine animals that make up the class Crinoidea of the echinoderms) This theory was discarded due to the fact that the screw is much larger than the average size of these animals.
The theories as to what this object is are pillage up. Skeptics are having a field day and they love to debunk discoveries like this one, offering a much simpler answer, suggesting that its nothing, probably the remains of an old factory, vehicle, or anything else that can make you, the reader look elsewhere for answers, without paying much attention to details such as the age, and region where it was found.

Dr. Edgar Mitchell – Aliens Are Real And Are Watching Us
Dr. Edgar Mitchell – Aliens Are Real And Are Watching Us
Are Aliens Real – Edgar Mitchell on the moon!
Edgar is a famous NASA astronaut that has walked on the moon. He says he has proof that the Grey aliens are real and that right now aliens are watching us!
UFO Aliens
Edgar was part of the Apollo 14 space flight January 31, 1971, proceeded by the lunar landing on February 5th. During the two lunar EVAs (Extravehicular Activity), Mitchell along with his Commander Alan Shepard spent about 33 hours on the Moon.
Edgar claims that he believes in Aliens and UFOs – Aliens are Real! Claiming that we have been watched and observed for a long time. He mentions the Roswell alien crash in the summer of 1947. Pointing out the reason for the US government denial was they weren’t sure if the specimen found was hostile. He also says the US didn’t want the soviets to know so a cover up was decided. Edgar claims he is positive that we are being watched right now.
When asked how many Alien Civilizations there are Edgar’s answer was – Billions.
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon, testifies to extraterrestrial visitation and military coverup.
Aliens UFO
Edgar also gives us some insight to the reason our government has kept Aliens and other UFO related information above top-secret. He stated that the Air Force is responsible for protecting our skies, and they and various other governmental agencies did not know what to do with the alien crashed saucer, and its superior technology.
They certainly did not want the Soviets to get their hands on it, and at the same, the best course of action was to just lie about it, and keep it to themselves. They labeled it “above top-secret,” and that created the long running iron curtain separating a secret group within the government, and the American public. It is believed by some UFO researchers that this group was the Majestic-12, which is often referred to as MAJ-12.
Mitchell’s reference to this secret group does not in any way give validation to the so-called Majestic-12 documents, but it does give us proof that a group to protect UFO information did exist, and with ongoing UFO events of importance, it is only reasonable to assume that the group continues today.
UFO Interview
There is no doubt that Dr. Mitchell’s statements will have long reaching consequence in the UFO community, and hopefully, mainstream media will pay a more serious look at reports of UFOs. So now, we who have always believed that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, can know without reservation that this belief is based on fact.
We will continue to look for answers as to why they are here, where they come from, how they get here, and what we will do when and if they decide to make themselves known openly to this curious, tiny, third planet from the Sun we call Earth.
Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.
Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.
Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as ‘little people who look strange to us.’
He said supposedly real-life ET’s were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.
Chillingly, he claimed our technology is ‘not nearly as sophisticated’ as theirs and “had they been hostile”, he warned ‘we would be been gone by now’.
Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes during their 1971 mission.
‘I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real,’ Dr Mitchell said. It’s been covered up by all governments for 60 years.

Astronomers witness a massive star’s birth
Astronomers witness a massive star’s birth
Two images of a very massive star, made 18 years apart, have given astronomers a real-glimpse of how massive stars develop early in their evolution.

At right, the hot wind has been shaped by encountering a dusty, donut-shaped torus around the star, as seen in 2014. Image via Bill Saxton, NRAO/AUI/NSF.
Stars live and die as people do, but their lives are inconceivably long in contrast to a 100-year human lifespan. That’s why astronomers sometimes say that their best studies of the stars give them only snapshots of individual stars in one phase of its evolution or another. As the whole process unfolds, over millions or billions of years, we can’t really watch it happen. An international team of astronomers is excited, though, about a pair of images of a young and very massive star made 18 years apart. They announced this week (April 2, 2015) that the images appear dramatically different and that they provide a real-time glimpse of how massive stars develop in the earliest stages of their evolution.
The star is called called W75N(B)-VLA 2. It’s some 4,200 light-years from Earth. The astronomers studied it using the National Science Foundation’s Very Large Array (VLA), a radio telescope located on the Plains of San Agustin, some 50 miles west of Socorro, New Mexico.
They acquired a VLA image of this star in 1996, and then another in 2014. Carlos Carrasco-Gonzalez of the Center of Radioastronomy and Astrophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, leader of the research team, called the comparison “remarkable.”
The 1996 image shows a compact region of a hot wind ejected from the young star.
The 2014 image shows that ejected wind deformed into a distinctly elongated shape.
Now let’s consider the theory of how such a star should develop. Scientists believe the star is forming in a dense, gaseous environment, surrounded by a doughnut-shaped, dusty torus or wheel-like structure. They believe the star has episodes in which it ejects a hot wind for several years. At first, that wind can expand in all directions, and so forms a spherical shell around the star.
But eventually the wind hits the dusty torus. That slows it down. Wind expanding outward along the poles of the torus, where there is less resistance, moves more quickly, resulting in an elongated shape for the outflow. Carrasco-Gonzalez said:
In the span of only 18 years, we’ve seen exactly what we predicted.
View larger. | Here are the actual VLA images of the star W75N(B)-VLA-2. Top, 1996; bottom, 2014. Image via Carrasco-Gonzalez, et al., NRAO/AUI/NSF
Bottom line: Two radio images – taken with the Very Large Array in New Mexico – show astronomers’ theories about how massive stars evolve to be on target.
NASA is planning to deflect an asteroid in 2022 — to learn how to protect Earth
NASA is planning to deflect an asteroid in 2022 — to learn how to protect Earth
An illustration of the plume and crater left by NASA's dart probe after crashing into an asteroid — a test of technologies intended to help us deflect asteroids in the future.
(ESA–Science Office)
In 2022, NASA plans to send a probe crashing into an asteroid at more than 13,000 miles per hour to deflect it off its course.
This particular asteroid isn't a threat to us. But NASA is trying to figure out how it might defend Earth from asteroids more generally — in case a big one really does head our way in the future.
A probe will crash into the asteroid at more than 13,000 miles per hour
This is all part of a joint mission NASA's planning with the European Space Agency called Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA). It will start with the launch of a European craft in 2020 to study and map the asteroid first. ESA entered the preliminary design phase of that initial reconnaissance mission earlier this week.
The goal is to develop the technology and expertise that might be necessary to nudge an asteroid out of its orbit if we ever discovered one heading for Earth. It might sound far-fetched, but the truth is that asteroids are a potentially serious threat — and foresighted missions like this could theoretically be the difference between a closely averted disaster and catastrophe.
The plan to crash into an asteroid
In 2020, the European Space Agency plans to launch its Asteroid Impact Mission, or AIM probe. It'll travel to an asteroid named Didymos, which is orbited by a relatively small (about 550 feet wide) asteroid called Didymoon.
Over the course of a year or so, AIM will orbit Didymoon, mapping its surface and collecting data on its mass and overall structure. Current plans also call for it to send out a pair of smaller satellites to collect more data, as well as a lander that would touch down on Didymoon itself — becoming just the fourth craft (if Japan's current Hayabusa-2 mission is a success) to make a controlled landing on an asteroid.
AIM would collect data on the DART impact. (ESA)
Then, in 2021, NASA would launch another probe, called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART. When it arrives in late 2022, the 660-pound probe would crash into Didymoon at a speed of more than 13,000 miles per hour, likely creating a crater and slightly changing the path of the asteroid's orbit. AIM would continue to collect data on Didymoon, providing valuable information on the physics of redirecting asteroids in space.
NASA is trying to avoid a chain reaction of asteroids
The Didymos binary system. (ESA–Science Office)
Neither of these asteroids represents any risk to Earth (when they make a relatively close pass to Earth in 2022, they'll still be more than 6.8 million miles away). But scientists chose them for this mission because they're a binary system — a pair of rocks that orbit one another. And that will limit the potential negative side effects.
This means that if DART alters Didymoon's orbit, the orbit of the larger Didymos will largely compensate for it. Though Didymoon itself will travel in a new orbit, the overall system (i.e., the pair) will continue to orbit the Sun much as it did before. So there's little risk of either asteroid's new path causing it to collide with other asteroids, potentially setting off a chain reaction that could endanger Earth.
The whole mission is still in the early planning stages, so as with all government-funded space missions, it's not guaranteed to happen. But both probes are relatively cheap: AIM is projected to cost about $194 million and DART $150 million. The mission survived a recent cull of ESA science projects, and right now, it seems likely to proceed.
This collision could help us avert future disasters
This won't be the first time a spacecraft was intentionally crashed into a rock in orbit: in 2005, NASA's Deep Impact probe collided with a comet, in order to throw up debris to help scientists better understand its interior.
But AIDA would be the first time such a collision was conducted solely to help us figure out how to move asteroids around in space. The wealth of data collected by AIM before and after the collision would allow scientists to build improved models of how asteroids respond to such impacts.
this would be the simplest way to prevent disaster
This could someday be extremely useful, because if we detected a big asteroid headed for Earth, the simplest way to prevent disaster would be to nudge it slightly it out of our way.
"The amount of momentum you'd need to transfer to an asteroid to change its trajectory slightly — to prevent a future impact — is really quite small," physicist and former NASA astronaut Ed Lu, who now heads an organization that seeks to protect Earth from asteroids, told me in a recent interview. "It's a couple of millimeters per second. That means you can run into it with a small spacecraft."
We still need to find all the dangerous asteroids out there

Even if we do develop the technology to deflect asteroids, that's still not sufficient. We'd also need to spot a dangerous asteroid far enough in advance to launch a mission. And right now, there's no certainty we'll always be able do that.
Scientists have located more than 90 percent of the huge kilometer-wide or larger near-Earth asteroids capable of causing a global catastrophe, and none of them, thankfully, are on track to hit us. But midsize asteroids hit Earth much more regularly (once every few centuries or so) and can cause significant damage, and we've still only spotted a small percentage of them. One terrifying example is the Tunguska event: a 30- to 60-meter-wide asteroid that exploded over a remote corner of Siberia in 1908, discharging an amount of energy one thousand times greater than the Hiroshima atomic bomb and knocking down some 80 million trees.
In 2005, Congress assigned NASA the task of locating 90 percent of all near-Earth asteroids larger than 140 meters wide by 2020, but a report last year determined that we've only found about 10 percent. The report blamed a lack of coordination and organizational structure, not funding problems, for the shortcoming.
But there's also a hardware issue: the telescopes currently used to spot asteroids are on Earth, but the best way to see smaller ones is to use telescopes in space, because they don't have to deal with interference from the atmosphere and the sun's glare.

NASA has proposed launching one of these, called NEOCam, and Ed Lu's organization (called the B612 Foundation) is currently raising $450 million for a complementary mission, called Sentinel, that would survey a different area of the sky.
