UFO Coverup: Startling Revelations Concerning the Subject of Aerial Phenomena and UFOs  - PART II

J – and that this would be ‘YOU’ Art Bell – it will you YOU!

A – Yeah! I would think that I was being set up – John!

J – Really!!!

A – Yeah! Big time set up –

J – When we have 10 minutes of clear time – I have written the briefing you are going to get from the government and then after that briefing – that comes with slides and videos and of course you can’t see them, but I’ll talk you through them and then after ou see them – I’ll say – Art –  Yay or Nay!!

A – while laughing – Art says – So you are going to give me a briefing, huh?

J- Yes!

A – Okay! We’ll do that in a few minutes. – uh Apollo 17 – Apollo 17 – or will that – can you give us a brief – I mean – was there some mission with regard – was there something about Apollo 17 that wasn’t fully public?

J – Yes! Apollo 17 landed in the Taurus Litrow area, (see above at the beginning of this interview) which is extremely dangerous – um – there is mountain peaks that go 8 to 10 thousand feet – a round area – but what they were tasked to do on the second day was to go to Nansen and Nansen is a large, obviously constructed opening inside the south masif and they wanted to take a look at it – so essentially its been covered up, but there is a website where you can read the whole thing, see the pictures of Nansen – you get exact – what the astronauts said, which its very, very interesting what they said – uh – what I’ll do at the end of the broadcast – I’ll going to e-mail you about 10 or 15 websites – that we are talking about – that you can pass them on if you want – and maybe you can look at Apollo 17 and Project Redstar and all the rest of them.

A  – All of this – uh – an Apollo mission – our space program in general – How much of this would have to be hidden? Now – of course its worth mentioning – that we have not gone back to the moon … not with men as one would have expected by now … or Mars or anything else … its like … its kind of like … I don’t know – were’ being kept home.

J – Right! We were told to stay away – we were given that edict by the aliens – they said, “You will NOT come back here – and … i’m not sure exactly which particular Apollo series it was and we said, “Look! We’ve got all these Saturn 5’s – it will be hard to keep that from the public,” and they said “Okay! – one or two more and ‘that’s it!” Apollo 17 was the lsat one and the NASA excuse was , “We don’t have any more funding and we can’t do it and they have – still had 3 remaining Saturn 5’s fueled and ready to go and they were 18, 19, and 20.

A – The threat – that stopped us – what was the ‘or else’ part?

J – It was just ‘”or else” and you know – I don’t know exactly what was said, and I didn’t talk to anybody who heard the threat – it was just enough threat – that “Don’t come back here – you’re not welcome.”

A – Yeah!

Newsbreak

A – laughing – I’ve been set up before , but it doesn’t hurt to listen – laughing – you know – its kind of interesting – over the years of doing this program, – so many years now – I’ve often wondered why I’ve been allowed to do it at all (laughs) so let’s say the government chose me – they were going to use me as an outlet to release this information – lets just say they did that and they took me to a briefing …

John Lear’s Disclosure Briefing

As presented on the 11/2/03 show:

Art Bell: Let’s say the government chose me. They were going to use me as an outlet to release this information. Let’s just say they did that and they took me to a briefing. Then what John?

John Lear: They whisk you to Washington, DC, you get limo-ed to this building, beautiful building, you go up into this room. They say, ‘Art, you’re the guy and if you give us the go ahead, we are gonna release everything we know to the public. If you decide to go ahead, all major networks will be provided with information on all aspects of the cover up and no type of information will be withheld. Because of the deal for immunity for all participants of the cover up provides that nothing, no artifacts, no piece of information be withheld.’

So here’s what happened, Art. We’ll use some videos and stills. Our first UFO recoveries were in the late ’30s. We made a couple in the beginning of the ’40s and then came Roswell, which the public found out about. We got 2 live aliens from Roswell. One died shortly there after and one lived till 1956. And we found out so far there are 18 different alien species that we know about monitoring Earth. Some are good and some are hostile, most are indifferent. We found out that we are the experimental product, if you will, of an alien race who we never met and we don’t know who they are. All we know is that the Greys are cybernetic organisms, glorified robots if you will, who work here at the behest of their employers monitoring us through abductions. We were never able to find out what the experiment is all about except that we have been externally corrected about 65 times. And they, the aliens, refer to us as “Containers.” There’s been speculation that the souls our bodies contain is the reason for the experiments. But nothing’s been proven or determined.

Since 1938 we’ve lost over 200 aircraft due to UFO hostilities and thousands of soldiers in all kinds of different actions with aliens. Since that time several hundred thousand civilians have disappeared with no trace. Several thousand of those were eliminated by us because of their chance encounters with the aliens which we could ill afford to have publicized.

A slightly more frightening phenomena known as “human mutilations” have occurred on a regular basis and are similar to “cattle mutilations”. In that the human or humans are taken from the street, so to speak, and returned to the same area about 45 minutes to an hour later with their rectums cored out, their genitals removed, eyes removed from their sockets, and completely drained of blood. In all cases it appeared that the mutilation procedures occurred while the persons were still alive and conscious. One of our scientists speculates that apparently the human specimens had to be alive for the samples to be worth anything. Abductions occur on a daily basis throughout the United States to at least 10% of the population.

When we were first made aware this we protested to the little grey being we had held in captivity at the YY-2 facility in Los Alamos, but a deal was struck that in exchange for advanced technology from the aliens we would allow them to abduct a very small number of persons and we would periodically be given a list of those persons abducted. We got something less than the technology we bargained for and found the abductions exceeded by a million fold than what we had naively agreed to.

In 1954, President Eisenhower met with a representative of another alien species at Muroc Test Center, which is now called Edwards Airforce Base. This alien suggested that they could help us get rid of the Greys but Eisenhower turned down their offer because they offered no technology.

At this point it became apparent to all involved that there was no such thing as a God, at least how the public perceives God. Certainly some form of computer recorder stores information and an occasional miracle is displayed by the aliens to influence a religious event. This so unnerved Eisenhower that he had “In God We Trust” put on paper money and coins and put in the Pledge of Allegiance to reaffirm the public belief in God. Shortly after this it was determined in meetings between the US and the Russians that the situation was serious enough that a cold war should be manufactured as a ruse to divert attention of the public away from UFOs towards some other scary threat like the H-bomb. It was also decided to keep the ruse secret from any elected or appointed officials within both the US and Russian governments as it took so long to vet these officials and the ruse was easier to manage if the top people didn’t know about it.

In the late 1950’s NASA was formed to compartmentalize, containerize, and sanitize information from all space platforms and vehicles. We sold NASA to the public claiming that all information would belong to them but they got very little and even that was highly sanitized.

Our first efforts were to keep the public from learning about Venus. A very similar planet to Earth and it’s population is very similar to us just technologically advanced. We have learned a lot from them starting with the Russian Venera 1 and US Mariner 2, we made Venus look like a lead melting, volcanic surface, spewing sulfuric acid into a pressurized atmosphere 90 times that of Earth. And as often the case we over did it and we wondered why nobody asked how a parachute survived a descent into 800-degree air. We set up operations in Pine Gap, Australia to preclude any prying eyes figuring out what we were up to. We regularly eliminated through extreme prejudice anybody who was part of the operation and made the least little tiny threat about disclosure or dissatisfaction with the operation. Any space mission that included Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Mariner, Voyager, Clementine, and all the rest. All data initially came transmitted to Pine Gap then it was relayed to JPL or wherever after sanitizing. We had a little trouble with amateur radio operators but we figured out how they could intercept these signals but we managed to deal with that.

When the Russian threat began to fade we introduced Vietnam which kept the public occupied for over ten years. The cover up and personnel to run the operation began to get bigger and bigger and required more and more money. We were forced to inflate the defense budget, which soon not enough. Then we got into the drug business which was still not enough. We were the ones that looted the savings and loan industry and Wall Street to boot. It is so out of control now most people want immunity and want out. But there is so much secrecy and so many double and triple blinds in place that it’s unlikely that this thing can ever be dismantled. And even if you give us the go ahead to spill the beans to the public it’s unlikely they will get anything more than “yes, we recovered a flying saucer and yes, there was an occupant” but that’s all we’re gonna tell ya.

So go ahead and roll the tape for Mr. Bell. What you see here are what human mutilations look like. That one was a male about 27 years old. That one is film of dead aliens being pulled from the wreckage of a craft that crashed in Olancha, California in the ’50s. That craft you see over there was over 250ft. in diameter and had to be buried on the spot. That site is in Utah near Dugway Proving Grounds. The object you’re looking at now is the as the Kecksburg Acorn which was brought to Wright Patterson in the middle ’60s. There’s Frank Drake trying to force information out of a being tied down to a stretcher. He was supposedly from Tao Ceti.

These pictures you’re looking at now are structures on the Moon. That’s the tower in Sinus Medii and it’s over seven miles tall. And that thing over there is what we call the Colossus of Oguram(sp) in Mare Crisium. We don’t know what it does but the machine itself is bigger than Brooklyn, New York. Now those are videos of the domes covering the craters. As you can see, some are in a very advanced state of decay.

These are 5 second slides of the 18 different alien species we are looking at. That one there is the most gruesome looking. The guards at one facility are carefully indoctrinated over several months being shown pictures similar to but not exactly like the alien. Only when he’d been acclimatized, so to speak, of the horrible looking beings are they allowed to stand in security positions. Before these acclimatization were done, we had two guards die of a heart attack as the aliens came down the hallway unexpectedly.

And this last clip is of the Kennedy assassination. You’ve heard of the second gunman theory? Well, this is the second camera that recorded exactly what happened and we had 4 gunmen. And the bottom line was that Kennedy had to go. He insisted on releasing what little alien information we had told him about and he was trying to withdraw troops from Vietnam which we were using as a diversion for the public. After Kennedy we never told any President anything. Nixon knew because he was briefed as VP in 1952. That’s how we knew where to take Jackie Gleason to Homestead Air Force Base to see the alien bodies we had in storage there.

And that’s about it. What say you Art Bell? Do we brief the public? Yay or nay?”

A – I guess … my first response would be – having heard even one quarter of that information – if I really heard it from a legitimate government source … that I was about to be killed … I would assume I would be in mortal danger … I mean – its just – uh – any portion of that information would get a person killed if they knew it – much less – I – uh – its just ludicrous John, I would never be put in such a situation. I would never be at such a briefing, because such a briefing is never, never and will never be made – EVER!

J – Well, art! Here’s the deal – … is people want to know – the say, “I can take it – tell me.”  I mean – the public can take it – Well – do you want to release it or not?

A – Now wait a minute – are you saying … Well – well -they can’t – I agree …

J – You have been given this briefing… the government has decided … “Look , We’re tired of covering this thing up…”

A – This assumes that I really believe that they would release it as opposed to killing me! Right?

J – They aren’t going to kill you if they give you this briefing – they would just say – “Here it is.”

A – No! Once I said, “No!”  “Yes or no” – Well I suppose, “No” Once I said it, then I’d have to be killed, wouldn’t I?

J – No! No!

A – Well – other people have been killed because that was part of your briefing. +++

J – Yeah! But – well that was just up to 1972 – up until 1972, there was 572 people eliminated from the program because they disagreed wtih the way it was going, but after 1972, they don’t kill them anymore.  What they do – I don’t know! I have my suspicions – of what they do!

A – Why do you imagine …

J – Don’t bring that into the argument …

A – Why do you imagine they let people like you on radio shows like this and saying these things?

J – The government … the coverup is so firmly in place now that its not a threat to them.

A – It doesn’t matter!

J – uh uh! I mean … how many people are we talking ? It doesn’t matter. People think its interesting and then they go on with their business.

A – All right!

J – My point is, if you knew the whole story, you wouldn’t be pushing for disclosure.

A – No! I wouldn’t – of course I wound not!  I believe that Brookings was accurate – In fact I believe even more than that . I spent all these years – getting e-mails and talking to people in the Bible belt – John! I’ve talked to a lot of them. I know how the fundamentalists feel… and it would turn us UP SIDE DOWN!

J – I agree with you. Last night I talked to the guy who is heading up the Disclosure Project in Washington, D.C. I read him the exact same thing I read to you … and he said, “Yeah! Go for it! Let’s do it! We have a right to know” … and I’m wondering “How can you possibly think like that?”

A – Um! How can he? I’ve asked these same questions.. really I have, and ou get a wonderful speech in return – that also makes sense – you know. You get the patriotic angle – you get the … you know … we’re a part of all that’s happening – about these profound issues – they ‘so’ profound … we really have a right to know and the argument ‘sounds good’ – it really sounds good.  I also know what would happen if this information got out.

J – You’re 100% right. And that’s how I believe. And they bring up the argument, “Well! I’m tired of the government lying to us – and that’s what a government does – they lie to us.  They lie to us continually – but in this particular issue – they are correct!

Researchers discover a 1.7 million year old man-made bridge

It seems that researchers have confirmed that “Adam’s Bridge” is in fact an artificial bridge constructed 1,700,000 years ago. Located in the Palk Strait, in the Indian Ocean there is a particular geographical area, a thin strip of land that connects the south of India with Sri Lanka. It is called “Adam’s Bridge”.

Adam’s Bridge is believed to be the remains of an ancient pre-flood bridge. Possibly, the first ever bridge built on Earth.

Even though historians, archaeologists and researchers believe that the first complex civilizations appeared on Earth some 5000 years ago, today, with all the discoveries that have been made, we know that mankind existed much before on Earth than mainstream scholars tell us. Through the study of discoveries like this, we can understand the complexity of our distant past. This ancient bridge was reportedly passable on foot up to the 15th century until storms deepened the channel: temple records seem to say that Adam’s Bridge was completely above sea level until it broke in a cyclone in AD 1480.

Several researchers do not share the mainstream views of science. Open minded researchers like Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock have proposed that monuments such as those found on the Giza plateau are much older than history is telling us.  Therefore, their theories are labeled as impossible and are not even taken into consideration. This is where science fails miserably. But we know for a fact that there have been dozens of other incredible discoveries which science has labeled as impossible since they do not seem to fit into the strictly selective view of the scientific community.

However, there are many ancient cultures that talk about catastrophic events such as flood; Sumerian, Greek, Chinese, Native American. And many other cultures speek of deeds that today, seem impossible to us and are therefore considered as “myths”. The Chimalpopoca describe conditions during the Great Flood and relate how people tried to escape the disaster:
“The sky drew near to the Earth and in the space of one day all was drowned. The mountains themselves were covered with water. ….a tremendous hurricane that carried away trees, mounds, houses, and the largest edifices, notwithstanding which many men and women escaped, principally in caves and places where the great hurricane could not reach them. All this were in darkness, without seeing the light of the sun, nor the moon, that the wind had brought them.”

It is also believed that evidence of a great flood has been recorded in monuments around the globe. Researchers suggest that ancient sites such as the Giza Plateau, seem to have impressed into their mounts, a chronological reference pointing towards a global catastrophe that occurred over 13,000 years ago.

Dr. Badrinarayanan, the former director of the Geological Survey of India performed a survey of this structure and concluded that it was man-made. Dr. Badrinarayanan and his team drilled 10 bore holes along the alignment of Adam’s Bridge. What he discovered was startling. About 6 meters below the surface he found a consistent layer of calcareous sand stone, corals and boulder like materials. His team was surprised when they discovered a layer of loose sand, some 4-5 meters further down and then hard rock formations below that.

A team of divers went down to physically examine the bridge. The boulders that they observed were not composed of a typical marine formation. They were identified as having come from either side of the causeway. Dr. Badrinarayanan also indicates that there is evidence of ancient quarrying in these areas. His team concluded that materials from either shore were placed upon the sandy bottom of the water to form the causeway.

As technology has advanced, research has become much easier for archaeologists. This has allowed them to discovered a significant number of ancient structures, many of which cannot be explained with the commonly accepted methodology offered by mainstream researchers. Is it possible that this recent discovery is a piece of evidence that is telling us that the flood is more than just a myth?

In recent years numerous discoveries have been made which challenge mainstream history and archaeology. Some of these discoveries have been firmly rejected by researchers since they do not seem to fit into modern-day history.

One of the most incredible discoveries in recent years was made possible thanks to high-definition images of the Earth from space, Google Earth is another great tool in recent years.

According to some researchers, one of the most striking pieces of evidence of a civilization that flourished before the cataclysm, 13,000 years ago, is represented by what is called today as “Adam’s Bridge”, a narrow strip of land 30 km in length connecting southern India with Sri Lanka.
For a long time it was considered that this strip of land was a natural formation. However, the satellite images taken by NASA in early 2003, have sparked intense debate among scientists, since, according to some, the structure appears to be of artificial origin. The photos, in fact, show a curious pattern in the way the Palk Strait looks. According to many, it looks very much like a long-destroyed bridge, now submerged under the ocean.

According to the Hindu tradition, this “strip of land” is a bridge built by Hindu god Rama, as told in the Hindu epic Ramayana. In fact, since ancient times it is known as the “Bridge of Rama” or “Rama Setu”.

Rama is one of the most famous manifestations of the Supreme God and is recognized as the image, the spirit and consciousness of Hinduism, one of the oldest religions in the world.

The stories which are many times interpreted as facts of Rama’s life, are narrated in the Ramayana, an ancient Sanskrit epic, literally translated to “Rama’s Journey,” which speaks of a time when gods aboard ships (Vimanas) and giants walked the earth. Evidence of the Vimana and the giants have been found across the globe, in different countries.

Today there are numerous opinions among researchers and scientists who believe that this “bridge” is of natural origin. Some say it is the result of a process of increasing the earth’s crust, others that was formed after the separation of Sri Lanka from the Indian mainland. Even though both theories might be correct, the third and oldest one might also be the real deal.

Interestingly, researchers who do not agree that this structures is of natural origin point towards large rectangular blocks of limestone in the base of the structure, which suggest it is an artificial construction. According to scholars, these limestone blocks cannot be the manifestation of mother nature and have to be the result of intelligent beings.

Dr. TS Badrinarayanan, former director of the Geological Survey of India, has conducted an analysis of the structure and has concluded that it is of artificial origin. His team concluded that the materials of the two banks were placed on the sandy bottom to form a causeway. This is apparently visible in the images provided by NASA.

According to ancient Indian texts, Rama lived during the Treta Yuga which is the second of the four ages of the evolution of life.

The most interesting part is that “Rama’s Bridge” as it has been called, has caught the attention of mayor construction companies which have already identified its incredible potential. The Indian government appears to be extremely interested as well. Some believe that this “artificial” bridge needs to be “renovated” and once it regains its former function, it can provide many economical and social benefits to the region. The curious thing about the strait between Sri Lanka and India is that, following the line of the bridge some sort of channel could be built, once passable, it would facilitate maritime traffic in the relative difficult waters of the region. The bridge would make it possible to create roads and railroads and could serve as the basis for a gigantic tidal center, taking advantage of the tidal forces that would generate huge amounts of electricity.

So as we can see, this famous bridge, sometimes referred to as Rama’s bridge” has been the topic of discussion since ancient times, and has fueled many legends that might turn out to be actually true. More interestingly, it has the potential of becoming one of the most important constructions of the region, if governments decide to “renovate” it.

Is it possible that Adam’s bridge is in fact a “man-made” construction, guided by the divinity of the gods? Is there enough evidence to support the theory that this, now collapsed bridge” did exist in the distant past? If so, was it built by the aid of the gods? And what was it true purpose in the distant past?

‘I’ve Been to Area 51′ and ‘Aliens Exist’ Says NASA Chief

Such statements would never have surfaced a decade ago. As a consequence, many of us are wondering if NASA is preparing for a disclosure like no other.Whenever ‘alien’ is mentioned, official confirmation is hard to come by. Yet former astronaut and current NASA administrator Charles Bolden has done just that. When asked by a 10-year-old if he believed in aliens, Bolden expressed his views with a certainty that  conspiracy theorists would have loved:

• I do believe that we will someday find other forms of life or a form of life, if not in our solar system then in some of the other solar systems – the billions of solar systems in the universe.”

The recent discoveries of a number of Earth-like planets have given Bolden and his colleagues reason to believe the search for extraterrestrial life forms will soon register its first success.

• Today we know that there are literally thousands, if not millions of other planets, many of which may be very similar to our own earth. So some of us, many of us believe that we’re going to find… evidence that there is life elsewhere in the universe.”

Bolden was also asked about the existence of Area 51, which he immediately admitted. After all, the Central Intelligence Agency have officially recognized the base and its exact location in 2013. However, Bolden was adamant when he said there are no aliens there:

• There is an Area 51. It’s not what many people think. I’ve been to a place called that but it’s a normal research and development place. I never saw any aliens or alien spacecraft or anything when I was there.
• I think because of the secrecy of the aeronautics research that goes on there it’s ripe for people to talk about aliens being there.”

The base was a badly kept secret for decades and it certainly looks like it’s going to generate controversies for years to come. People are going to keep talking. But on the upside, NASA is making some historical admissions.

China’s Atlantis: The Sunken ‘Lion City’ Rediscoved

(Before It's News)

China’s Atlantis: The Sunken ‘Lion City’ Rediscoved

 

Once upon a time, an ancient city in China was named Lion City because Five Lion Mountain loomed large behind it. The city, also known as Shi Cheng, has been buried beneath the water for 53 years. 

Like the lost Incan City of Machu Picchu was ‘rediscovered,’ so was this lost underwater city that had been founded about 1,300 years ago. Lion City is now located about 85 – 131 feet (26-40 meters) beneath the gorgeous Thousand Island Lake (Qiandao Lake). 

This valley was submerged when a dam was constructed and a lake was needed. The lake and thousands of islands were man-made. Shi Cheng ‘defied’ the Chinese norm since 5 gates and 5 towers were built into the city instead of 4. 

Lion City is about the size of 62 football fields. International archaeologists and a film crew recorded the amazing preservation of the lost ‘ruins.’ in surprising detail.
 

More than half a century ago, the Chinese flooded Lion City, also called Shi Cheng. Recently Shi Cheng was explored by archaeologists who dubbed ‘Lion City’ as China’s ‘Atlantis rediscovered.’

“the Dancing Ufo”: -> Filmmaker Dan Drasin Comments On Rhal Zahi's Analysis Of A Billy Meier “beamship Ufo” Film

(Before It's News)

 

“THE DANCING UFO” Filmmaker Dan Drasin Comments on Rhal Zahi's Analysis of A Billy Meier “Beamship UFO” Film

By Rhal Zahi  & Don Drasin

(Copyright 2015, Rhal Zahi & Don Drasin – All Rights Reserved)

 

On July 1st, 2015, the Editor of UFO Digest received a message from Hum Rhal Zahi regarding his latest analysis of the Billy Meier Beamship UFO Film.

Shortly thereafter, I received a message from filmmaker, Don Drasin. giving his analysis of Mr. Zahi's film analysis along with his professional insights on film editing in regard to the “jumps” and splices that are to be seen in the Meier Film

 

As Editor of UFO Digest, I found both messages combined produce a well-balanced and fair analysis of the Meier Beamship UFO Film, as well as providing some contrasting views of the subject of how it was made and its authenticity.

 

We present both views below for readers of UFO Digest to consider.

 

Date: July 1st, 2015

From: Rhal Zahi

To: Robert Morningstar

This is my latest video showing details of my investigation about the Dancing UFO filmed by Billy Meier on 1975.  My conclusion is that it is a big object displaying capabilities that cannot be explained by a current Earth technology. You can make the same tests that I made, or have a different opinion.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKeutVKFbG0

My conclusion about Meier's case is that it is real, and the ETs presented evidence in a way that allowed people that were not ready to accept the idea that Human ETs might be very close to us, could have an easy “exit door” to get out. Today we have freely available tools to re-visit his evidence and find the “hidden clues”.

Please remember that my intention is not to convince you, just to share what I have found.

Regards,

Rhal Zahi

**************************************************************

 

Editor's Note:

 

After viewing “El UFO Danzante” (“The Dancing UFO”), we would like to commend Rhal Zahi and his team on the most detailed and scientific analysis of the Billy Meier “Beamship UFO” that we ever seen at UFO Digest.  We thereby concur with Rhal Zahi's findings that the movement of the Meier “Beamship UFO” as seen in the Meier Film is NOT a small model suspended on a pendulum, orbiting a small fake tree (for the many reason cited in his film by Rhal Zahi and his team.

 

These computer graphic and video demonstrations by Zahi & company of various schemes designed to hoax a “Pendulum-Propelled UFO model” in the Billy Meier film are untenable and impracticable, if not impossible for a 3-man team, let alone for a one-armed photographer.  -  RDM*.

 

******************************************************************

 

Below, we present filmmaker Dan Drasin's incisive comments on Rhal Zahi's analysis of one of Billy Meier's UFO Films:

 

Date: July 1st, 2015

From: Dan Drasin

To: Robert Morningstar
 

The Meier Case has always seemed to me to be a complex, mixed bag.  I don't think “black/white” thinking, or blind belief/disbelief will help us understand it very well.

I think Rhal Zahi should be commended for performing this analysis.  No replication can cover all the bases or rule out all possibilities (for example, that a model may have been gyroscopically stabilized to mimic a larger object), but despite several arguable points that we could take up at another time, this one seems to be a very good start .  

For example, the blurriness issue at 25:49, which isn't as simple as it may seem, and the fact that certain variables (small/large. near/far, etc.) aren't adequately quantified.  Also, see the splicing issue below.

As for Billy's disability: Logic dictates that Billy himself, with only one arm, would be limited in his ability to do certain things on his own. 

Logic also dictates that having one arm does not prevent him from being assisted by others behind the scenes. So I think we need to regard the disability issue as neutral — neither proving nor disproving any particular point. 

As for the “jumps” …

As a veteran film editor I can confidently state the following:

8 mm. film cannot be cement-spliced without revealing an overlap line at the top or bottom of the frame.  Tape splicing (using perforated clear mylar tape, either alone or to reinforce cement splices) bears its own telltale signs.  

 

These “jumps” DO bear ALL the tell-tale signs of splicing tape having been used.

 

In the first jump, especially, you can see the additional dirt-blemishes, the momentary blurring of adjacent frames caused by the extra thickness of the splicing tape, a disturbance on the left edge of the frame. and the vertical scratches typically formed when the soft splicing tape passes repeatedly through a projection gate.  This is especially visible in Zahi's slow-motion analysis at 29:25.

At 29:00, the the original 8mm film (labeled “the real video”) clearly shows a slight displacement of the WHOLE image at the splice point. which would be expected of a physical splice.

At 29:12, the craft “gradually disappears.”  But the discrepancy between the film frame rate (16 or 18 fps) and the frame rate of the video (25 or 30 fps) to which the film was transferred, the inherent nature of the transfer “pulldown” process and multiple generations of copying, DICTATES that there should be this type of image overlap across the film cut.

Finally, “the smoking gun”:

 

At 29:51 we can see evidence of a typical cement splice line at the tops of these frames, which means the previous examples were cropped and that the splicing tape was applied over the cement splices, presumably to reinforce it,  as was common practice in those days.

For unexplained reasons, this presentation makes no distinction between film and digital imaging systems.  Nor does it point out the extreme resolution loss between the original 8mm film and the images that we see here, and it says nothing about the artifacts of film-to-video transfer… all of which are essential to an understanding of why the film looks and behaves as it does. 

On the other hand, the possibility that Meier may have chosen to “enhance” his film by creating his own jumps does not rule out the possibility that the craft could be real.

We all like neat, pat answers.  The Meier Case, I think, demonstrates that the truth may not always be so neat or pat.

Friends Witness Hugh Triangles In The Papapsco River Valley

(Before It's News)

FRIENDS WITNESS HUGH TRIANGLE IN THE PAPAPSCO RIVER VALLEY  

MARCH 22, 1978  ………….   PATAPSCO RIVER VALLEY MARYLAND   

The Patapsco River Valley in central Maryland has seen a lot of history and high strangeness over the centuries. I have included just a few descriptions of known events, as well as links to personal encounters. The general region remains one of the most haunted in the United States, (ex. Ellicott City & Baltimore):

•           On Wednesday, March 22, 1978 at approximately 11:00 p.m. EST, Gary Oickle, 24, his brother David, 22, and two friends, Barry Smith, 22 and Ken Cabot, 25 were around a campfire talking in Patapsco Valley State Park at the Baltimore & Ohio railroad tunnel. Barry and David were about 50 feet away from the others when they noticed a strange object in the southeastern sky which disappeared over a ridge in the distance. They watched the object for about 10 seconds and could see no particular details except a rough shape. Barry described it as a flat looking object.  They then walked back to the fire to tell the other two about what they had seen when another similar object appeared directly over the four of them from behind a ridge to their north.
• The object was described as a huge triangular shaped object with large windows and three white lights at the corners. The size was estimated from “a quarter the size of a football field” to “150-200 feet on each side”. The object moved very slowly, hovering at times, in a southeastern direction following the contour of the ridges just above the trees.  When it appeared above them it was very low, approximately 200-250 feet, and made a sound like a “quiet wind” or “quietly rushing waterfall”.
• The witnesses watched the object for approximately 15 to 20 seconds until it disappeared behind the trees. Three of the witnesses thought they could see the shadow or silhouette of a figure at the windows. Three of the witnesses also reported seeing a bright star-like object in the southern sky immediately after the sighting. Two of them said the star-like object changed colors; blue, green, yellow, red, repeatedly, while the other thought the object may have been a helicopter or something in the distance.  Two of the witnesses thought that the large triangular object had a “metallic” or “bluish-gray” color, but all four agreed that it had three white lights at the corners and a blinking red light on the top.None of the witnesses were frightened by the experience but, quite the contrary, were very curious and even yelled at the object hoping it would land. All had also read something of UFOs previously but none had seen anything like this before. – APRO, April 1978 – By Joe and Doris Graztao  
• NOTE: this is an area very familiar to me since I have lived near there for almost 35 years. The general area has a lot of paranormal history…and approximately 5 miles from where I had my Bigfoot encounter in 1981. There have been sightings of Bigfoot-like creatures since the early 1970’s. One of the most haunted facilities in the world, Henryton Center, was situated nearby. It was demolished recently. There are many ruins within the park including a church, houses, etc…in fact, this is the actual location where the ‘Blair Witch Project’ was filmed. Triangle UFO sightings are not uncommon in this part of Maryland…there have been several reports over the past few years. Lon

NASA ontdekt vier vreemde vlekken op Pluto - HLN.be

Bron: Metro, AD.nl 

Aan de onderkant van Pluto zijn vier even grote vlekken te onderscheiden © NASA.

Het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap NASA heeft de meest gedetailleerde beelden ooit gemaakt van de dwergplaneet Pluto. Daarop ontdekten onderzoekers echter iets merkwaardigs: vier donkere vlekken, die ze niet thuis kunnen brengen. Zo meldt Metro.

© NASA.

De dwergplaneet werd vastgelegd door NASA's ruimtesonde New Horizon met behulp van twee speciale camera's. Naast de planeet en de maan van Pluto, Charon, ontdekten ze de vier donkere vlekken. Deze niet eerder geziene verschijningen zijn gegroepeerd langs de evenaar van Pluto, aan de onderkant van de planeet.

Wetenschappers tasten in het duister over wat de vlekken precies zijn en waarom ze qua grootte en afstand van elkaar zo op elkaar lijken. De gemiddelde temperatuur van de planeet ligt rond de -233 graden, waardoor het bijna onmogelijk is dat er iets leeft. Mogelijk gaat het om kraters of manen.

De ruimtesonde, die reist met een snelheid van bijna 50.000 kilometer per uur, gaat op 14 juli opnieuw foto's maken, maar dan aan de andere kant van Pluto. "Het is echt een puzzel, we hebben geen idee wat de vlekken zijn", zegt hoofdonderzoeker Alan Stern. "We kunnen niet wachten om het mysterie op te lossen."

Filer’s Files #27-2015 Truman UFOs Not from Earth - PART II

Sightings of UFOs in the United States

California Lights

Mission Viejo — On Wednesday, June 18, 2014, I was alerted by a fellow employee of unusual stationary lights in the sky or orbs. They shine brightly, then dim, disappear, and reappear, sometimes in the same location.

We observed a total of 5 lights during the encounter. My fellow employee has worked here for 10 years, and I have been there for 5 years. We have never seen similar lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS

San Jose –I saw a deformed rainbow in a Chemtrail and took a snapshot from a my car on June 19, 2015. Later I looked at the photo and noticed an object along with two birds. I have had other experiences in the past with a possible abduction and implant and captured a disc on the camera. I would like to share the photo with MUFON and see if it’s a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Alien

I was going through my Phone’s Camera Gallery after work and noticed a 17 second video that I had must recorded accidentally. I keep my phone in my back pocket when I’m at work. I checked it out to see what I recorded. The video recorder button had gotten pushed and was recording a small light figure behind me. I paused and re-watched the video about 20 more times. Tell me what you think it could be. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Square UFO

Manalapan — UFOs over the ocean are actually more common than most people know. Even Christopher Columbus recorded in his journals that on October 11, 1492, when he saw a light glimmering at a great distance.

He hurriedly summoned Pedro Gutierrez, a gentleman who also saw the light. After a short time it vanished, only to reappear several times during the night, each time dancing up and down in sudden and passing gleams. The light, first seen four hours before land was sighted, was never explained.” Most alien bases are below water, and since 75% of the earth is covered by water that means 75% of the UFOs are over the water. We just are not there to see them all. Thanks to UFO Sightings Daily

At 5:20 PM, on May 31, 2015, while on the balcony I observed what I thought was a bright star out over water in south Palm Beach. When I viewed it through my camera’s viewfinder using a 300 mm I saw that it was rectangular in shape, very bright and stationary. I took pictures for 40 minutes after which it slowly moved further away. A ship on the horizon appears to have cleaner edges then the UFO. In another picture you can see a drone being flown by someone I assume on the beach. UFOstalker

 Illinois Lights

Edinburgh — When I do watch them. I keep thinking please land in the field, why are you following me? I’ll try flashing different color lights at them tonight. Last evening when my husband and I were coming home from Taylorville Illinois 10 miles from home it was so dark because of storms moving in, lightning and thundering, the one was following me and was with me all the way home. I hope they do communicate with me. They’ve been following me for so long I wish they would do something besides hover in the sky. If you don’t hear from after tonight you know they took me. Take Care, Pam

Indiana Light

Lagrange — On June 23, 2015, at 11:45 PM, I went outside to see if I could see the Aurora Borealis, as it was supposed to be visible. I did not see the Northern Lights but looking west I observed a bright pulsating star that the camera picked up. A few days later I enlarged it, and was amazed to see 7 orbs around a central sphere. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Lights

Eureka — There was a bad storm in the St Louis area on June 28, 2015, and watched the low clouds and I took pictures. I left around 9:45 pm, and saw bright lights. I said to my brother, “What is that, a helicopter?” I drove up to the stop sign and got a good view of the bright lights. They were stationary; one was a longer and very bright one and a smaller one to the right. I took a couple of pictures because I had no idea what they were. The larger object had several square windows. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Montana Lights

UFOs Northwest has received a high percentage of reports that are due to the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus. When people see aerial objects on clear nights for long periods of time they are most likely viewing bright planets.

Our group has received probably two dozen reports in the past month that are due to bright planets. Thanks to William Puckett, Director UFOsnw

New Jersey 1928 Aliens

Bellemead — This story is from my Mom as a child, who lived on a farm when about August 10, 1928, she didn’t even know what a ufo was. Her brothers and sisters were getting ready for bed when it seemed like day time outside.

She said, “The farm animals were crying and running all over with a big flood light shinning down on them that was so bright she could see the hay in the field.”

Her father a Polish immigrant yelled, “Get in the house, not to worry it was an angel that had come to bless their farm. Out of the corner of her eye she could see her dad take his shotgun and sit on the porch.” Mom said, “They held there rosaries and said prayers out loud.”

Other farmers had the same thing happen to them. As I grew up I noticed strange abilities my Mom had like foreseeing things before they happened. She would stare out the window of our house as if she was receiving information. She also had the ability to stop or start machinery. I asked, how could you do these things; her answer was, “God gave her the powers.” Remember at that time we had no electricity at all. Thanks to MUFON

Glendora — My brother thinks that on February 13, 2015, he brought an alien life form home with him from a friend’s house. The aliens can make themselves invisible, but they have let him see them. They are not allowed to talk to him so they communicate by touch. For instance, one touch is for ‘yes’ and two for ‘no’ when he asks questions. At first he says there were over 50, but now there is only one female that has claimed him. She says that, “The males of her race no longer have genitalia so they are here to be impregnated in hopes to have male children to reproduce. It takes them three days to get here from there. I think its name was Mistake and it’s the 3rd star in Orion’s belt. They use Dark matter engines and can reach speeds thousands of times the speed of light. They have been here for many years. There species along with 4 other alien races that she knows of helped to create the pyramids and other things on earth. So far this is all I know”.

He has said that, “She was O.k. with me meeting her, but to tell you the truth, I’m scared.” I am sort of a skeptic about this, but from everything he has told me I think I believe him. He has never been a person to make up stories. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Lights

New York City — I was up on my roof having a smoke and looked at our city’s skyline on June 20, 2015. I live in mid town west so Times Square is near when I noticed 7 objects fluttering falling like birds.

I realized they had lights on them and would change direction and angles. I thought maybe they were drones and shot this with my IPhone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Object

Hempstead — There was a storm moving in and the clouds looked like a tornado on June 24, 2015.

We took 8 pictures all within seconds of each other and in one frame there is clearly a visible object. There was no sound, not even wind. It was very calm.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Lights

New Concord — I was driving home east on Route 40 when I saw what I thought was a plane moving on November 20, 2014. Then I passed under the orange/red ball of light. I got about 400 yards away and pulled off the road and watched. They would vanish into the clouds and then show up above the tree line to the north of Route 40. Following the same flight path as the first they moved southwest. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Texas Craft

This is a report of a “black triangle” observed in the late fall of 1976 with 7 X 50 Nikon binoculars. Two observer’s ages: 28 and 30 years of age at the time, who are 67 and 69 now. The craft was as close as 100 to 125 feet. My wife is a middle school teacher, and I’m an Electrical Designer and draftsman.

We noticed the craft when it directly overflew us at an altitude of 100-125 feet, moving generally north at less than 10 miles per hour. There was a slight sound, like exhaling gently through pursed lips. We immediately jumped in the 4WD pickup, and began to follow the craft across the Brownwood Peninsula subdivision. The craft crossed the shoreline at the south end of Burnet Bay and flew 75 yards offshore and stopped. The craft remained stationary for about ten minutes, slightly bobbling. We had no camera.

We raced north on Thompson Road to get ahead of the craft and saw the craft coming, and stopped directly in its path. The craft overflew us at 100 feet. It was not yet dark, but I turned on my truck spotlight onto the bottom of the craft and we observed center-line bay doors on the bottom of the craft. We observed the craft cross the south shoreline of the Highlands Reservoir, and flew out of sight. We had chased it for 45 minutes.

The craft’s pinkish-orange dim marker lights were one at each corner of the triangular shape, about as bright as 25 watt bulbs. It was an isosceles triangle, about 40 feet wide and 80 feet long. The rear was 40 feet wide and 10 feet high at the middle. This shape tapered to a point at the front end. All edges appeared to be sharp. There was no discernible cockpit with possibly grilled openings at the rear of the craft. We observed no markings, windows, camera ports, antennas, or external attachment points. The craft was flat black, like the SR-71. We saw a US Military stealth intruder craft being tested. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Entity

Vancouver — I was in bed asleep when I heard slightly different noises than my cat, and birds in my room. I raised my head and opened my eyes to see the first entity on June 7, 2015. He was about 4 to 4.5 feet very dark gray with almost a shimmer to his skin. His face was very fat with very large eyes and a beautiful swirling affect to them. He looked at me and said nothing. Next to him was another entity that acknowledged me as well. He was looking at me, and we seemed to be talking, telepathically. He assured me that I was safe, and they were there to do no harm. (I have been really sick for a long time with chronic infection, and in and out of the hospital). He tilted his head and looked at me as he, “understood I did not feel well and sympathetic. I will never forget his face, and how kind I felt he was and confirming my safety watching over me.

I told them all, “I was going back to sleep then.” The closest one looked at me as if to “approve “and I went back to sleep. When I woke, I was afraid to tell my family, I never have had dreams like this, it was so clear, and vivid, and every detail. When I awoke, I found a “silver dollar size ring on my stomach.” I am profoundly affected by this as I do not believe in alien abduction! I have seen many crafts all my life. I never believed that aliens would bother with humans! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Yelm — These ships were sighted city bound and flying southwest and fading upward on June 24, 2015. They were glowing burnt orange, multiple ships close to each other. I took a picture just before they faded. There was a ship that was not in the picture as it was just flying after the others. A few started fading away.

Note: The witness also sent the original photo. I used his edited photo because he interpreted what he saw and photographed. Thanks to William Puckett, Director UFOsnw

Sighting of UFO from Space Station

Earth Orbit

I was watching the space station live cam on June 26, 2015, when I caught an interesting UFO above the clouds. It was glowing and had two wings and a wider front, similar to the shape of its wings. It can be seen better at the end of the video, when I put it into negative format. The object is clearly a solid craft. Thanks to Scott C. Waring

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Alien

Brisbane — At 1:30 AM, on Sunday morning, I received a phone call from two friends who were wondering if I was still up on September 16, 2008, and if I’d like to meet them in the park. I met them in a park about a three minute walk away. We were sitting at a picnic table when we noticed a tall human-like figure walking around the perimeter of the park.

This “person”, although clearly walking rather than running, was somehow covering the distance in about one minute. It passed by three times and we noticed it easily 7 feet tall. We decided to ambush it as it made its next circuit and when it was about thirty metres away we came out of the shadows it somehow passed us, and was twenty metres away. We sprinted after it, up a slight hill and beneath a streetlight it turned, and looked at me. It was very tall and thin wearing a black suit, had no hair, with white skin. The details of its face were blurred, as we kept running as fast as we could. We could not catch it as it continued walking and rounded a corner and was gone. We felt something very strange was happening; my friends. Perhaps it was a man in Black.

It covered an impossible distance in an impossible space of time. Even if it had been running, there’s just no way a person could move that fast.. No craft was seen. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Blue Knob, NSW — I live in the bush behind Nimbin and was admiring the full moon on June 30, 2015, when suddenly a flying fireball came into sight. My first thought was it was a plane on fire, but it steadily made its way silently across the sky with no smoke or distress. Then another followed and then another. They were three yellow and orange fireball flying objects. Google ufo fireball sightings are being reported worldwide. Thanks to UFOINFO Joline

Canada UFO

Strathroy — My husband was taking pictures of his land on June 15, 2015. When we printed the pictures we saw the object, but had not seen or heard it. He thought it was a tower.

Upon closer observation of the picture and blowing it up, we noticed the shape and that it is not in the pictures before or after.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

India Disc

I saw the event in the Kanpur Uttar Pradesh in Shyam Nagar, India a local newspaper on June 25, 2015.

I thought that it might help you out in your research.   Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Mexico Object

Teotihuacan — On a trip to Mexico, I took a photo of the Pyramid of the Sun on May 4, 2015. Later, when I was reviewing my photo, I saw two objects above the pyramid. I didn’t see or hear them at the time. My friend took an almost identical photo 10 seconds after I did and nothing is in her photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Peru Orb

This orb fleet was seen by a sky watcher on June 22, 2015, as they flew in a line of UFOs. One after another they passed by with two lights on them. I do not believe the two lights are two separate UFOs, but rather just one single UFO. There is only sky behind it.

UFO Fleet appear at dawn in Peru, June 22, 2015, UFO Sighting News.

South Africa Jellyfish?

Alberton Stadium — 26°16’40.22”S 28°08’01.45″E — This UFO looks a lot like a jellyfish type of craft on June 3, 2015. The object has a hanging area that gets thinner as it reaches down, much like tentacles do. The object was discovered by YouTube user DanielofDoria02 who added contrast so we could see the UFOs color and shape. Thanks to SCW

Tanzania Disc

Dar es Salaam — I was on a safari tour of Tanzania and we camped by the Indian Ocean and I was talking with a Dutch member of our group about ten at night when we saw a disk shaped craft in the sky on May 28, 2001. It was a glowing orangish-red color and traveling away from the earth. We observed for ten seconds when it vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Lights

Worthing — Clip164: I was outside shining my laser pen into the sky, and in the south a massive UFO brightened it’s lights on June 30, 2015. It turned its lights on brighter than the stars around it using my Panasonic W-850 with Infrared. I could see the surface of the UFO and it was a dull grey color. I also filmed intelligent white flying orbs, which would change their direction and stop in mid air! Another Clip had two UFOs lighten the movie. I spotted a UFO that was much brighter than the stars around it. My neighbors saw it too then abruptly went indoors. Thanks to MUFON CMS

7 'alien sightings' for World UFO Day

Photo: Jayne Clark, USA TODAY)

Are we alone? Not according to those who celebrate World UFO Day.

Each year on July 2 extraterrestrial enthusiasts around the globe celebrate unidentified flying objects and the possibility of life outside planet Earth.

USA TODAY Network looks back at some of the most buzzed-about sightings of unidentified flying objects.

1. Nuremberg, Germany, in April 1561

Witnesses described seeing "globes," "crosses" and "plates" battling it out in the sky. Drawings and woodcuttings from the time depict the unusual sighting.

2. Aurora, Texas, in April 1897

Local lore has it that a cigar-shaped object allegedly hit a windmill, causing it to crash. An alien body was discovered in the wreckage and buried in an unmarked grave, according to legend. The Texas Historical Commission erected a sign that mentions the "legend that a spaceship crashed nearby in 1897 and the pilot, killed in the crash, was buried here."

3. Roswell, N.M., in July 1947

Roswell has become synonymous with UFOs. A rancher discovered debris from a crashed airborne object. Some people said they thought the debris came from a spacecraft and even saw alien bodies.

The Air Force said in a 1994 report that the material came from experimental surveillance balloons and any bodies were dummies in the balloons. But many remain convinced the government covered up an extraterrestrial visit.

4. Washington, D.C., in July 1952

A series of sightings were reported over the nation's capital. Washington National Airport and Andrew Air Force Base detected the objects on their radar, according to The Washington Post.

In 1952, the Air Force launched Project Blue Book to collect and analyze potential threats in the air. Air Force Maj. Gen. John Samford held a press conference at the end of July 1952 to address unidentified sightings, opening with, "I am here to discuss the so-called flying saucers."

The incident has since been attributed to temperature inversion.

"The warm air can create a ceiling that causes radar beams to bounce down. Objects on the ground — moving cars, a row of telephone poles — can appear to be thousands of feet in the air," the Post reported in 2012.

5. Chicago, Ill., in November 2006

An object was spotted hovering over Gate C-17 at O'Hare International Airport. Some witnesses told the Chicago Tribune they were upset that neither the government nor United Airlines, which operates the C terminal, was going to investigate the sighting.

6. Stephenville, Texas, in January 2008

Dozens of people said they saw a large, low-flying object with bright lights. Two nearby Air Force bases said that none of their aircraft were in the area.

7. Jerusalem in January 2011

Witnesses and at least three cameras reportedly spotted a bright light hover above the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem before suddenly shooting upward. The sighting was likely a hoax, said an Israeli TV station.

World UFO Day: ‘I was abducted by aliens – and they put a machine in my body’

Steve Munday’s ‘alien implant’

Steve Munday is married, and manages a shop in Rugby – but 40 years ago, he had a bizarre experience.

He claims he still has the alien implant in his arm as a memento of the day he was abducted while riding a bike to his friend’s house in Northampton in 1974.

Steve says: ‘The journey should have taken me 15 minutes, 20 minutes at the most. Yet, I seemed to blank out sometime during this trip.

‘All I can remember is one minute I was riding along in bright sunshine, then I found myself a mile further down the road wrestling with a wobbling bike, going downhill.

‘Time had obviously moved on, as it was now dark. When I got to my friend’s home it was 2 hours after I first set off, so I ‘lost’ about 1 hour and 45 minutes of time.

‘A few days later I found a small object underneath my skin. There was no sign of a scar or entry point, just a red mark. It’s about 1 centimetre long by 3 or 4 millimetres wide and seems to be independent of my body.

‘When it’s active it upsets the scanners at supermarket check­outs. It will make the till ring ­up the wrong prices. It also affects other electrical gadgets if I go close to them.

‘I don’t know what the object does. If it is genuinely alien, then perhaps they have tagged me so that they can monitor where I am and where I’m going.

‘It might even be used as a means of contacting me when they need to.

‘When I show it to people they can get very squeamish, although my brother says he would like to cut it out to get a really good look at it. I would also like to have it examined but I don’t want it to be removed. We all live rather boring lives so this object separates me from other people, and makes me feel special.

‘My two brothers have also had UFO contacts and paranormal experiences throughout their lives. We all share a rare blood type, so I wonder if through our DNA and genetics we are specially chosen by these forces.’

‘To this day I am intrigued by what did go on during my missing 1 hour and 45 minutes that evening in 1974.’

What to Expect From Aliens When We Make First Contact

Given the vastness of space, it may only be a matter of time before we make contact with intelligent extraterrestrials. But how might an alien civilization react to such a monumental meet-and-greet, and can we possibly know their intentions? Here’s what we might expect.

Alien civilizations will most assuredly be like snowflakes: no two will be the same. Each will differ according to an array of factors, including their mode of existence, age, history, developmental stage, and level of technological development. That said, advanced civilizations may have a lot in common as they adapt to similar challenges; we all share the same Universe, after all.

We’ve obviously never interacted with an alien civilization, so we have virtually no data to go by. Predicting alien intentions is thus a very precarious prospect — but we do have ourselves to consider as a potential model, both in terms of our current situation and where we might be headed as a species in the future. With this in mind, I analyzed three different scenarios in my effort to predict how extraterrestrial intelligences (ETIs) might react to meeting us/

1. Contact with a biological species much like our own
2. Contact with a post-biological species more advanced than ours
3. Contact with a superintelligent machine-based alien intelligence

Clearly, there may be other alien typologies out there, but there’s no sense trying to predict what they might be like, especially in terms of their intentions.

Cut from the Same Cosmological Cloth

There’s virtually no way that an alien species will appear and behave exactly like us, but that doesn’t mean we won’t share certain similarities; in reality, we may be more alike than not — especially if we’re both still at the biological stage of our development.

As evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins pointed out in Climbing Mount Improbable, there’s no long term planning involved in evolution, but species do move towards fitness peaks, i.e. they tend to get better at specialized tasks over time (a classic example is the spider web, which is considered an optimal “design” in nature). What’s more, some species separated by time and space have been known to evolve startlingly similar traits, a phenomenon biologists refer to as convergent evolution. It’s not unreasonable to surmise, therefore, that an alien species with human-like intelligence — and the physical attributes to exert that intelligence on its environment — will share certain things in common with humans, including technologies and inherited behaviors.

In his new book, The Runes of Evolution, evolutionary biologist Conway Morris argues that, while the number of possibilities in evolution is astronomical, the number that actually work is an infinitesimally smaller fraction.

“Convergence is one of the best arguments for Darwinian adaptation, but its sheer ubiquity has not been appreciated,” he noted in a recent University of Cambridge article. “Often, research into convergence is accompanied by exclamations of surprise, describing it as uncanny, remarkable and astonishing. In fact it is everywhere, and that is a remarkable indication that evolution is far from a random process. And if the outcomes of evolution are at least broadly predictable, then what applies on Earth will apply across the Milky Way, and beyond.”

Morris contends that biological aliens will likely resemble humans, including features like limbs, heads, bodies — and intelligence. And if our levels of intelligence are comparable, then our psychologies and emotional responses may be similar as well.

Inherited Behaviors

So which inherited behaviors might we share in common?

As a species descended from primates, we are highly social creatures with definite hierarchical tendencies. As Jared Diamond pointed out in Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fate of Human Societies, we’re also risk takers. Indeed, humans are distinct among primates in that we exhibit migratory proclivities; our ancestors frequently abandoned their “natural” environments in search of better ones, or when following migratory creatures like large game. This risk-taking behavior, along with our insatiable curiosity, language skills, and unparalleled conceptual abilities, has allowed us to innovate and organize over the millennia.

But is it fair to project our primate-like attributes onto aliens? Yes and no. Biological aliens are not likely to be primates, but some might be very primate-like. For terrestrial species, the mode of evolution from a Darwinian to a post-Darwinian phase may follow similar patterns. And from a social constructionist perspective, humans and aliens may also share similarities in the socio-political realm.

That said, if alien species evolved from different biological precursors, like animals similar to fish, insects, dinosaurs, birds, or something we don’t observe here on Earth, their behaviors will likely be markedly different, and thus very difficult — but not necessarily impossible — to predict. But it’s fair to say that an overly belligerent, anti-social species, no matter how intelligent or physically adept, is not likely to advance to a post-industrial, face-fairing stage.

If aliens are biologically and socially like us, therefore, they may share many of our desires and proclivities, including our interest in science, and in meeting and interacting with extraterrestrial life. At the same time, however, they may also share our survival instinct and experience trepidation at meeting “the other,” leading to the prioritization of the in-group.

Should we make first contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI), we’ll have to make sure that we come across as friendly. Hopefully they’ll do the same. But even if we’re happy to meet each other, a major challenge will be in assessing the risks of cultural and technological exchange; just because we get along doesn’t mean that something unintentionally bad could happen. As a historical example, the introduction of Eurasian diseases to the Americas during the colonization era is a potent reminder of what can happen when disparate and formerly isolated civilizations meet.

As Stephen Hawking has said, “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans. We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.”

An ideal encounter (Star Trek: First Contact)

The late Carl Sagan had a different take, arguing that it’s inappropriate to make historical analogies when discussing alien intentions. A contact optimist, he said it was unlikely that we’d face “colonial barbarity” from advanced ETIs. According to Sagan, alien civilizations that lived long enough to colonize a good portion of the galaxy would be the least likely to engage in aggressive imperialism. He also thought that any “quarrelsome” extraterrestrials would be quashed by a more powerful species. What’s more, he didn’t think that technologically advanced ETIs would have anything to fear from us, so we needn’t fear them.

Close Encounters of the Machine Kind

The hunt for radio signals and laser messages may lead us to discover an alien species much like our own. But if an alien spaceship suddenly appeared at our door, it’s highly unlikely that something biological would come out. More likely, some sort of machine would be there to greet us.

Bots from space (Iron Giant)

As NASA’s Chief Historian Steven J. Dick has pointed out, the dominant form of life in the cosmos is probably post-biological. Advanced alien civilizations, either through their own trans-biological evolution or through the rise of their artificially intelligent progeny, are more likely to be machine-based than meat-based. We ourselves may be heading in this direction, as witnessed by current and pending advances in genetics, cybernetics, molecular nanotechnology, cognitive science, and information technology.

As Dick noted in his paper, “The Postbiological Universe”:

• Because of the limits of biology and flesh-and-blood brains...cultural evolution will eventually result in methods for improving intelligence beyond those biological limits. If the strong Artificial Intelligence concept is correct, that is, if it is possible to construct AI with more intelligence than biologicals, postbiological intelligence may take the form of AI. It has been argued that humans themselves may become postbiological in this sense within a few generations.

This line of argumentation led Dick to posit the Intelligence Principle:

• The maintenance, improvement and perpetuation of knowledge and intelligence is the central driving force of cultural evolution, and to the extent intelligence can be improved, it will be improved.

Sounds like a cool mission statement — one common to all civilizations as they evolve and adapt to changing conditions over time. Given similar fitness landscapes — like trying to develop a stable and optimal Type II Kardashev Civilization or living in tandem with artificial superintelligence — ETIs may evolve towards a common mode of existence. However, extreme adaptationist pressures, including and especially the mitigation of existential risks, may constrain post-biological life in very narrow ways. Should this be the case, we may eventually be able to predict the nature of this modality. Such an exercise would serve the dual purpose of modeling our future selves and the potential characteristics and tendencies of extraterrestrial civilizations.

Needless to say, post-biological aliens, like cyborgs or civilizations comprised of uploaded minds, would have a different set of priorities than what we’re accustomed to. These ETIs may be content to build their Dyson Spheres and live virtual lives fueled by massive Matrioshka Brains. If this is the case, they may have no desire to make contact with biological beings like ourselves. It’s difficult to know if they’d be willing to make contact with civilizations similar to their own, though it’s likely they’d want to keep to themselves. A kind of intergalactic xenophobia may explain the Great Silence and the Fermi Paradox; the dearth of colonizing waves of ETIs seems to suggest that everyone prefers to stay at home, away from prying eyes.

At the same time, if machine intelligences do rule the cosmos (either locally or across the vastness of space), then we may run into what’s known as the incommensurability problem. For the time being, the differences between human minds and machine minds is so great that communication is impossible. Simply put, predicting the intentions and behaviors of post-biological intelligence is practically impossible.

Beware the Alien Skynet

As noted by Dick, the cosmos may be peppered with artificial superintelligence (ASI) — machines that either succeeded or supplanted their biological forebears.

Predicting the behaviors and intentions of ASIs is a conundrum currently faced by AI theorists who worry about the prospect of machine minds run amok. But it’s also something that astrobiologists and SETI scientists should be concerned about.

What might a machine-based alien superintelligence do with itself? Frighteningly, it may adopt a set of “instrumental goals” to ensure its ongoing existence. If this is the case, we may want to steer clear of them (and by ‘steer clear’ I mean keep a low cosmic profile). Oxford University philosopher Nick Bostrom explains what’s meant by instrumental goals:

• Several instrumental values can be identified which are convergent in the sense that their attainment would increase the chances of the agent’s goal being realized for a wide range of final goals and a wide range of situations, implying that these instrumental values are likely to be pursued by a broad spectrum of situated intelligent agents.

In other words, while an alien artificial superintelligence may have a set of primary goals, they will, in the words of Bostrom, “pursue similar intermediary goals because they have instrumental reasons to do so.” He calls this the Instrumental Convergence Thesis.

Physicist and AI theorist Steve Omohundro has taken a stab at trying to predict what these sub-goals might be. His list of drives include self-preservation, self-protection, utility function or goal-content integrity (i.e. ensuring that it doesn’t deviate from its predetermined goals or values), self-improvement, and resource acquisition. Consequently, advanced machine-based alien intelligences may be extraordinarily dangerous to outsiders.

On the bright side, however, a super-powerful machine intelligence may have adopted a primary goal, or utility function, that requires it to remove as much suffering from the Galaxy as possible. Or to create as many meaningful individual experiences as possible, i.e. by converting all useable matter into computronium. Think of it as the pan-Galactic application of the utilitarian ethic. If that’s the case, we should certainly hope to meet them some day. Assuming, of course, that we don’t get destroyed in the process.

UFO files will be released by Germany

BERLIN Germany – The Administrative Court of Berlin had ordered the German
parliament to release all its UFO files.

The “Deutsche Bundestag” was ordered to give access to secret official reports compiled by the “Scientific Research Service of the German parliament” on demand of delegates on the question on the government’s knowledge and studies about UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

The German parliament has already appealed the decision – and is trying to block all attempts at releasing the UFO files. But the Berlin court is confident that the files will be released.

“The right of access to official information under the German freedom of information act also applies to studies and reports of the ‘Scientific Research Service of the Bundestag’, the Berlin Administrative Court explained in its decision announcement on December 1st, 2011.

Until the court hearing the Bundestag denied access to the paper by referring to the claim that the work and results of the “Scientific Research Service of the Bundestag” are part of the work of the parliament and the mandatory work of the delegates and therefore should be excluded from demands referring to the freedom of information act.


In it’s press release the Administrative Court explained further, that the judges did not agree with this claim of the parliament and therefore did not followed the complaint upheld by the Bundestag and instead ordered that it must give the claimant insight into the secret report.

Observers speculate that the persistence with which the Bundestag denied and still tries to deny the insight into the UFO-paper, or even it’s publication, is not so much about the treated subject (in this case UFOs and extraterrestrial life), but in general
about questions of dealing with reports and papers by the “Scientific Research Service of the German Bundestag” in the future and in the face of the freedom of
information act in general.

Beside stating, that because so many other NATO members, partners and neighboring countries – such as France, the USA, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Italy (.to name only a few) – did investigate UFOs, it is “more than likely that also official German authorities and Departments dealt with this questions (about the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial life)”, the report does not reveal any secrets about UFOs and alien life, nor a secret knowledge about it by the German government.
