Hangar 1: The UFO Files – Far Side of the Moon S02E04
Hangar 1: The UFO Files – Far Side of the Moon History Channel, Season 2 Episode 4 1st May 2015
Hangar 1 files reveal top-secret evidence that indicates the government has been operating bases on the Moon and Mars. Some of this evidence dates back to the 1950’s and suggests that NASA may be behind a long existing, secret mission to establish off-planet outposts. If these bases do exist, what is their purpose and why are they being kept a secret?
To truly grasp what we’re doing to the planet, you need to understand this gigantic measurement

There’s been a lot of news lately about the losses of ice from the planet’s two gigantic ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica. And not surprisingly, some people have found it very stunning — simply because the volumes of ice involved sound so huge.
For instance, after I wrote about a new study showing a disturbing increase in ice loss from one relatively small part of the Antarctic ice sheet, I saw the following tweet from Moby — yes, that Moby:
following tweet from Moby — yes, that Moby:
moby XⓋX
✔@thelittleidiot
Antarctic currently losing 56,000,000,000 tons of ice every year. goodbye, humanity. http://wpo.st/k4XI0
Actually, that’s just the losses for one region of Antarctica, the Southern Antarctic Peninsula. Total losses are much larger. But the tweet — and the general magnitude of the kinds of changes that we’re seeing — got me thinking. It can be hard to comprehend the scale of these events, so it would be helpful to break it down into more comprehensible pieces.
Scientists often measure the loss of ice from the planet’s two gigantic ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, in a particular unit called a “gigaton,” which is sometimes also spelled “gigatonne.” Either way, it’s not something you encounter in your ordinary life, because it’s incredibly “giga-ntic” — the kind of unit that planets depend on.
In the International System of Units, the prefix “giga” means 109, or one billion (1,000,000,000). Hence terms like “gigawatt”or “gigahertz.” Thus, a gigaton is equivalent to a billion metric tons.
A male African elephant might weigh, at most, 6.8 metric tons, according to the San Diego Zoo. So a gigaton is well over a hundred million African elephants. As for sea life, the blue whale can weigh as much as 146 metric tons, according to NOAA. So a gigaton is more than 6 million blue whales.
Or for another analogy, consider how Meredith Nettles of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University recently described a gigaton-sized piece of ice to me:
“If you took the whole National Mall, and covered it up with ice, to a height about four times as high as the [Washington] monument,” says Nettles, you’d have about a gigaton of ice. “All the way down from the Capitol steps to the Lincoln Memorial.”
With this in mind, let’s now look at how much ice Antarctica is losing, before moving on to the other sources of major ice loss, like Greenland.
A recent scientific paper estimated the total annual loss for Antarctica at 159 gigatons (plus or minus 48 gigatons, since these measurements are subject to considerable uncertainty). Other scientific estimates vary — Jonathan Bamber, an Antarctic expert at the University of Bristol, recently gave me a lower estimate — 130 gigatons per year. Yet another, even lower recent estimate is 92 gigatons per year. Whatever the exact number, Antarctica is clearly losing billions of African elephants worth of ice each year.
Climate change doubters, faced with such numbers, sometimes like to point out that East Antarctica is gaining some ice — but there is still a net loss of ice to the ocean because of massive losses in West Antarctica, the most vulnerable part of the Antarctic continent. And it’s not as if we should be exactly content about the status of East Antarctica, either. The gigantic Totten Glacier of East Antarctica is losing 70 gigatons of ice per year, “enough to fill Sydney Harbour every two and a half days,” as one scientist with the Australian Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Center puts it.
“It is common to see broad stroke comparisons between East and West Antarctica for the sake of convenience, however, doing so risks diminishing the fact that there is net mass loss occurring in a large area of East Antarctica, as well,” Jamin Greenbaum, lead author of a recent study of Totten Glacier, told me by email. “It is well established that the region encompassing the Aurora Subglacial Basin and Totten Glacier is losing mass and contributing to sea level at a rate that is large compared to variability in snowfall indicating that the losses are due to processes beyond snowfall (e.g. enhanced ocean melting).”
Moreover, the rate of ice loss from Antarctica has been increasing, and scientists keep finding new sources.
So what does it all mean? It takes 360 gigatons of ice to raise the global sea level 1 millimeter, Bamber told me. So right now, Antarctica is doing that about once every three years. Globally, though, sea level is going up at an increasing rate of 2.6 to 2.9 millimeters per year, according to the latest research, because Antarctica isn’t the only contributor.
The gigantic Greenland ice sheet, which is facing rapidly rising Arctic temperatures, is also contributing, and at least for now, appears to be throwing off much more ice than Antarctica. A recent study put the loss at 378 gigatons per year for the years between 2009 and 2012. That’s a millimeter per year right there. Indeed, recent research suggests that some glacial iceberg calvings — from, say, Greenland’s Helheim Glacier — can be as large as a gigaton at a single time.
Glaciers around the world are also contributing — and at the scale of many gigatons. Indeed, recent research suggests that the glaciers of Alaska alone are now contributing 75 gigatons per year, which is very large number, considering that they only constitute about 11 percent of the world’s glaciers.
Warm ocean water also expands, so in addition to ice loss, the oceans are also growing in volume due to their temperature. And for those who don’t think 2 or 3 millimeters per year of ocean rise is a big deal — the real concern, with both Greenland and Antarctica (and also Alaska), is that these rates are increasing.
And why might that be happening?
It’s because of the 34 gigatons annually of carbon dioxide that humanity is currently putting in the atmosphere. In 2013, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that to have a good chance of keeping global warming under 2 degrees Celsisus above pre-industrial times — a widely embraced international goal — humanity had, as of the year 2011, only about 1000 gigatons of CO2 left that it could emit. Divide 1000 by 34 and you get maybe 3 decades more of emissions at current levels. And that assumes that emissions merely stay constant, rather than rising along with rising economic growth.
When it comes to our gigatons of carbon dioxide emitted each year, NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory has done some fascinating math (which starts with a relatively simple conversion of gigatons of carbon dioxide into gigatons of carbon):
In 2010 about 9 Giga-tons of Carbon (GtC) were emitted from burning fossil fuels as 33 Giga-tons of CO2 gas.
How much is 9 Giga-ton? 9 billion tons or 9,000,000,000,000,000 grams, or 19,800,000,000,000 pounds.
Can you imagine…9 Giga-tons is the weight of about 132 billion people. The amount of carbon we are putting into the atmosphere each year is equal to 20 times the weight of the current world population.
All of which further underscores that the gigaton is the unit that really explains to you how we’re altering the planet — changing its atmosphere, and changing its oceans, at a scale that’s hard for humans to conceive of. Net gigatons of CO2 are going into the atmosphere and net gigatons of H2O are going into the ocean. And if you wanted to reshape a planet, it’s hard to think of a better recipe than that.
Trying to convince the skeptics and the doubters that the UFO phenomenon is one of all-too-real proportions is never an easy task. Most of the time I don’t even bother. After all, it’s their loss, not mine, if they choose to remain ignorant. That’s to say, ignorant in terms of being uniformed, and ignorant as in being jerks for refusing to acknowledge the value of the data.
On those occasions when I can be bothered to debate the skeptics on the matter of UFOs, I often make use of government, intelligence, and military files to make my point. The reason why is simple: many official records on unidentified flying objects – and particularly those from the 1940s and 1950s – are of excellent caliber.
A perfect example, is a collection of U.S. Air Force documents that detail an astonishing wave of UFO activity that occurred in early 1958. They are files declassified under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, but which have not generally received the positive commentary they deserve.
The mystery began on the night of March 9, 1958. The location: a now-closed U.S. Army installation on the Panama Canal Zone called Fort Clayton. It was around 8:00 p.m. when a UFO was tracked, by anti-aircraft personnel, in the Canal Zone area. Further blips soon appeared on the screen. Clearly something unusual was afoot.
It turns out that Fort Clayton was not the only base monitoring unusual aerial activity. Radar staff at Fort Amador, Flamenco Island were also tracking something airborne and unknown. In fact, they were tracking two UFOs – both of which maintained a circular pattern above a nearby installation, Fort Kobbe. Their heights, however, fluctuated between 2,000 and 10,000 feet. It was at this time that staff at Taboga Island’s Track Radar Unit confirmed they were keeping a careful watch on certain unknowns, too.
Shortly before midnight, personnel at Fort Amador chose to take a new and novel approach to try and identify the UFOs: they bathed them with powerful, ground-based searchlights. The response was incredible: in no more than a handful of seconds the UFOs headed skywards from 2,000 to 10,000 feet.
Official records on this particularly eye-opening development state: “…this was such a rapid movement that the Track Radar, which was locked on target, broke the Track Lock and was unable to keep up with ascent of the objects. As Track Radar can only be locked on a solid object, which was done in the case of the two unidentified flying objects, it was assumed that the objects were solid.”
This strange and bizarre activity continued into the early hours of March 10 – something which saw UFOs hovering and accelerating to speeds around 1,000 miles per hour, and unknown objects tracked on radar. Later that same day, UFOs were monitored clearly reacting to the presence of aircraft dispatched to intercept them. The files also talk of a UFO report from the captain of a Pan American Airlines DC-6 aircraft that was described as being bigger than the plane and which was headed in a southerly direction.
Of course, none of this gives us any real indication of what the UFOs were. However, the reference to objects hovering high in the sky, definitive unknowns accelerating to speeds of around 1,000 m.p.h, and of radar systems that were “unable to keep up with ascent of the objects,” which were “assumed” to be “solid,” collectively suggest vehicles of highly advanced natures were in evidence in the Canal Zone in March 1958. And, of course, let’s not forget that the UFOs responded, in amazing fashion, to being lit up by searchlights.
And that was just the tip of the iceberg. You can read the original, complete document online, at this link, by scrolling down to page 15 (and onwards).
So, the next time a smug skeptic tells you UFOs don’t exist, direct them to the many and varied files that have surfaced under Freedom of Information legislation. It’s an ideal way to shut them up.

ALIEN ABDUCTION ~ FACT OR FICTION? - PART I
ALIEN ABDUCTION ~ FACT OR FICTION? - PART I
If the figures are to be believed, up to 4 million people have been abducted by aliens in the US, with many millions more captured world wide. Although the existence of human hungry aliens might be impossible to disprove per se, it is unlikely that extra-terrestrials could manage such mass kidnappings without being commonly noticed. This suggests that there are many people who falsely believe they have been seized by creatures from outer-space, perhaps after experiencing unusual and bizarre phenomena. The purpose of this article is to communicate some of the recent research in psychology and neuroscience that gives us some clues as to how and why these experiences and beliefs occur.
Some of the many thousands of people who claim to have been abducted are likely to be fortune seekers, bar-room braggers, publicity hounds and maybe even some genuine abductees. Yet with the high numbers of people reporting abductions, many of the people who believe they have been captured will likely have been mistaken.
The History of Abductions
Yes there are signs of crafts being seen in the sky and alien contact in ancient text, but without knowledge as to what these hieroglyphs, paintings etc actually symbolize or mean we will stay away from ancient astronaut theories and look at recorded history. The First reported Sighting to make Print!
In the November 27, 1896 edition of the Stockton, California Daily Mail, Colonel H. G. Shaw claimed he and a friend were harassed by three tall, slender humanoids whose bodies were covered with a fine, downy hair who tried to kidnap the pair.
Colonel H. G. Shaw, along with his friend Camille Spooner, had a close encounter with previously unknown entities.
Shaw was in charge of putting together an exhibition to be displayed at a Fair in Fresno.
Shaw and friend were traveling by horse and carriage in route to Stockton, when their horse froze with fright.
To the two men’s shock, they saw the cause of the horse’s actions; three tall alien looking beings with small delicate hands at the end of their spindly arms stood by the road. They had no hair on their heads, yet a soft, light fuzz over their bodies. Large eyes made their small mouths and ears appear even smaller.
The two eyewitnesses would later tell authorities that the beings had a “strange” type of beauty to them.
All of the beings carried with them a bag of some kind with a hose which they often stuck in their mouths, obviously to breath with. Although there was still some daytime left, the beings also carried with them egg-shaped lamps which glowed. This glow would later illuminate a waiting spaceship.
As the men watched the aliens, the beings were communicating with each other by a type of chant, as no English words were heard by Shaw and Spooner. The men would tell authorities that the aliens made an attempt to abduct them, but that the large difference in mass between the human and alien body thwarted the effort.
Soon, the three alien beings made a move toward a nearby bridge. Using their other worldly lamps, the aliens lighted up the bridge, showing a nearby craft. The UFO was of a cigar shape, and it hovered quietly over the water.
The beings seemed to be almost lighter than air as they moved toward their craft. It seemed that the aliens would almost leave the ground as they walked on the earth.
The beings entered the hovering cigar UFO in a most unconventional way also. They sprung up from the ground and above their craft, and then floated down into the craft through an unseen entry. Soon, the object flew away.
Then in the 1940s and ’50s.
The Space Age was upon us, and sci-fi literature was soaring in popularity with human-alien encounters a recurring theme. In July 1946, “Planet Comics” ran a strip in which aliens used a luminous tractor beam to kidnap a voluptuous female earthling, whom they called Specimen 9. They tell her the abduction is part of “Project Survival,” and as they steer their spaceship toward what looks like Saturn, the leader remarks, “Now home. And if you find our methods ruthless, Specimen 9, it is because our needs are desperate.”
Likewise, in 1954, a comic strip appearing in the British tabloid The Daily Express detailed the alien abduction of a Royal Air Force pilot. Dozens of other abduction stories graced the pages of sci-fi novels and comic books.
June 24, 1947 The Kenneth Arnold Incident
Kenneth Arnold, a businessman, was flying his private plane near Mount Rainier in Washington State when he saw nine shining discs moving against the background of the mountain. He estimated their speed as about 1,000 mph. He said that they swerved in and out of the peaks of the Cascade Mountains with “flipping, erratic movements.” He later told a reporter that the objects moved as a saucer would “if you skipped it across the water.” The next day the story appeared in newspapers all over the nation, calling the strange objects “flying saucers.” Hundreds of people soon began reporting sightings of flying saucers, and a US Air Force investigation was initiated; on 4 July, ten days after the sighting, the US Air Force announced confidently that Arnold had been “hallucinating.”
1953 Hunrath and Wilkinson Disappearance
The 1950s was a time of major UFO activity but it was also a time in UFO history known by a group of persons known as “UFO contactees”. These individuals claimed to have made contact with the alien occupants of the flying saucers. For some these contacts were face to face, for others the communications were telepathic. Some claimed to have been given rides on alien spacecraft. Most of the mainstream UFO organizations of the time gave little credence to the contactees, and believed most to be hoaxers or people suffering from delusions. One of the most famous contactees was George Adamski.
George Adamski was born in Poland and immigrated to the US at a young age. By the 1930s, he was living in California as a sort of guru practicing “Universal Progressive Christianity”. He set up a small observatory at a restaurant “Palomar Gardens” below the famous Mount Palomar Observatory. By the early 1950s, Adamski was taking photographs of flying saucers with his telescope and writing science fiction and articles about the occult. On November 20, 1952, Adamski reportedly met an angelic looking man named Orthon who emerged from a landed flying saucer, claiming to be from Venus. During this encounter at the base of the Coxcomb Mountains, not far from Desert Center, California, Adamski was accompanied by six people who were told by Adamski to stay behind while he made the contact with Orthon.
After this encounter, Adamski attracted a small group of followers. One of these was Karl Hunrath, a electrical engineer, who had invented “Bosco” a device which was intended to bring down flying saucers. After a dispute with Adamski, Hunrath moved away from Palomar Gardens and rented an apartment in Los Angeles with Jerrold Baker, a handyman at Palomar Gardens who had also had a falling out with Adamski.
Karl Hunrath was soon working as a radio technician. In June 1953, a old friend of Hunrath’s from Racine, Wisconsin, Wilbur J. Wilkinson, arrived in Los Angeles with his wife and three children. Wilkinson, a co-inventor of Bosco, had left his job as a foreman at an electrical appliance plant, to join Hunrath in his efforts to see a flying saucer and meet an alien.
The two men developed an interest in channeling aliens, meeting other contactees and using psychic techniques and mechanical contractions to communicate with the “Maserians”, beings who allegedly lived on the moon.
On or about November 10, 1953, Karl Hunrath made phone calls to several associates telling them that some people had left Earth for other planets and that no one should be surprised if this might happen to him. On November 11, 1953, Hunrath and Wilkinson rented a small plane at Gardina County Airport near Los Angeles. With three hours of fuel, one hour paid rental, and no filed flight plan, Hunrath flew off with his passenger Wilkinson with the likely intent to meet a grounded saucer which they apparently presumed would take them to Maser, Venus or some other off-Earth populated celestial body.
Apparently to this day, no trace of the aircraft or the two men has been found. Most people presume that Hunrath, an inexperienced pilot, probably crashed somewhere in the mountainous terrain east of Los Angeles. If this is so, the aircraft wreckage may be out there still.
Wilbur J Wilkinson, provided this script, claiming it was from a race using the moon as a way-station for its people from the planet Maser.
NOTE:Adamski was quoted as saying “I made enough wine for all of Southern California…I was making a fortune!” However, the end of Prohibition also marked the decline of his profitable wine-making business, and Adamski later told two friends that’s when he “had to get into this [flying] saucer crap.
Antonio Villas Boas Abduction Case
In 1957, a Brazilian writer named João Martins penned the first installment of a series titled “Flying Saucers’ Terrible Mission” for the magazine O Cruzeiro. “There he describes cases of people in isolated places attacked by small alien beings”.
Martins also asked his readers to write him with their own experiences. Among hundreds of responses, he selected one of a young farmer from Minas Gerais with whom he exchanged several letters.
The next year, Martins paid for the 23-year-old farmer to come to Rio de Janeiro, where he was examined by Dr. Olavo Fontes. The farmer’s name was Antonio Villas Boas, and he claimed to have been abducted by aliens one day after reading Martin’s article?
The story got out. Walter Buhler of the Brazilian ufology group SBEDV, and a follower of the self-described alien contactee George Adamski, learned about Vilas Boas’ story, and in 1962, Buhler visited the young farmer in his hometown. The SBEDV subsequently published a report on the Villas Boas case in English, and the account aligned with Adamski’s earlier descriptions of aliens and their spaceships. In January 1965, an international journal called the Flying Saucer Review reproduced Buhler’s report worldwide.
Villas Boas was working the fields at night to avoid the scorching temperatures of the day, when he saw the red light of a spaceship; it slowly approached him and landed nearby in a field. Villas Boas tried to escape but was captured by small humanoid creatures, which dragged him into their craft.
The aliens conducted a series of experiments on their captive, including taking samples of his body tissue, exposing him to a gas that made him violently ill, and compelling him to have sexual intercourse with a female alien, who was, Villas Boas said, very attractive, with blonde hair and blue, cat-like eyes.
A few details hint that the story was fabricated or imagined. “If you read Villas Boas’ account you may notice the advanced aliens nonetheless used rope ladders. Moreover, “Villas Boas’ original sketch of the alien spaceship, with three legs, looks remarkably like the drawings of Sputnik-1, often depicted with three of its four antennas showing. The Sputnik surely was the talk of the time in 1957 when Villas Boas was supposedly abducted — or imagined his story.”

ALIEN ABDUCTION ~ FACT OR FICTION? - PART I I
ALIEN ABDUCTION ~ FACT OR FICTION? - PART I I
The Betty and Barney Hill Case
Widespread publicity was generated by the Betty and Barney Hill abduction case of 1961, culminating in a made-for-television film broadcast in 1975 (starring James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons) dramatizing the events. The Hill incident was probably the prototypical abduction case and was perhaps the first in which the claimant described beings that later became widely known as the Greys and in which the beings were said to explicitly identify an extraterrestrial origin.
The Hills were an interracial couple in the 1960s, and the exhibit discusses Barney Hill’s civil rights activism. However, the couple is best known for giving the first reported incident of an alleged alien abduction in America.
Today, due to television shows and films, the scenario is familiar: UFOs chase down terrified witnesses on a desolate road and take them onto the spaceship to ask them questions or probe them in awkward places.
It began one night when Barney and Betty Hill claimed they were pursued by a glowing UFO through parts of New Hampshire. Betty soon had vivid nightmares (which she interpreted as fragmented memories) about the incident, and the couple came to believe that they had been abducted by the UFO’s occupants, who then erased their memories. The couple sought the help of a psychiatrist, and under hypnosis both Hills soon reported full-blown, detailed “repressed memories” of their abduction.
The Barney and Betty Hill story was celebrated as the most important UFO-related event in the 1960s, and spun into a media sensation. Their experiences became fodder for many magazine articles, books, and a made-for-TV film called “The UFO Incident.” Betty became a UFO celebrity, giving media appearances and writing a book about her story.
As the years passed, however, the story lost its gloss and most realize it to be a hoax.
No other witnesses could support their account, parts of it were implausible, and the validity of “repressed memories” was called into question. Betty Hill’s own reported experiences cast doubt on her credibility. In the decades since her original 1961 experience with her husband Barney, Betty claimed not a few, nor dozens, but hundreds of UFO sightings.
Though UFO investigators desperately wanted to believe her, that became more difficult. One UFO researcher who worked with Betty noted that she was “unable to distinguish between a landed UFO and a streetlight.” In other words, she saw UFOs where none existed. “ Even many UFO believers reluctantly admit that much of Betty Hill’s experiences and stories cannot be true and instead are likely imaginative fantasies of a sincere but confused woman. With little or no corroborating evidence and no eyewitnesses to support their remarkable story, the Barney and Betty Hill abduction case is, as often happens, inconclusive at best and a complete fabrication at worst.
If the Witnesses are not hoaxers or scammers then what else explains these experiences?
Sleep paralysis Awareness during sleep paralysis is a common explanation for this confusion, most probably as abduction experiences and conscious sleep paralysis attacks often share many of the same features, such as waking whilst unable to move, feelings of fear, dread or unease and a feeling of pressure on the body. Normal sleep paralysis happens when the body enters the REM stage of the sleep cycle. The brain stem blocks movement signals that would normally travel from the brain to the muscles, probably to stop us carrying out the movements we dream about doing. The frightening aspect of this occurs when a sleeper awakens, becomes conscious, but who’s movement control is not reinstated by the brain. This state can also be accompanied by what are known as ‘hypnopompic’ hallucinations which occur naturally to many people whilst awakening. These hallucinations can take the form of voices, lights, figures or any number of strange bodily sensations. It is little wonder that when combined with fearful paralysis such uncanny experiences might be interpreted as alien in origin.
Temporal lobe disturbance Another commonly cited source of internal spookiness are the temporal lobes of the brain. Electrical stimulation of the surface of the temporal lobes (usually done on an awake patient when they are undergoing brain surgery) can produce unusual auditory sensations. Similarly, Michael Persinger, a Canadian scientist, has produced strange sensations in his research participants by using magnets to influence temporal lobe function from outside the skull. Such sensations have included feelings of a ‘presence’, disorientation and fear. It would seem unlikely that a possible abductee would fail to notice if someone placed large magnets near his or her head (or even that they were subject to brain surgery !) before the ‘abduction’ experience. However, similar effects can be caused by epileptic or similar seizures in the temporal lobes. Many epilepsy sufferers who have temporal lobe seizures report mystical experiences, missing time, out of body feelings or even strange smells or ‘atmospheres’ prior to, during or after a seizure. It must be remembered that not all forms of epilepsy cause dramatic shaking of the body, and many simply result in brief lapses of consciousness or experiences such as those noted above. This leads us to wonder whether disturbances in the temporal lobes may also contribute to experiences which some people may interpret as an alien abduction.
Mental illness Surprisingly, overt mental illness may be one of the least likely explanations for abduction experiences. Research has previously suggested that alien contactees are no more likely to show signs of mental illness than the general population, a finding which has been backed up by several other studies. However, many features once thought present only in mental illness have now been discovered to be held by much of the population. If we look at the healthy population as a whole, these features seem to exist on a continuum with some people reporting anomalous thoughts and feelings or having certain traits more than others. In this vein, it seems people who report themselves as abductees are more likely to endorse unusual experiences, be creative and imaginative, have depressive ideas, be suspicious, have dissociative tendencies and to have suffered childhood trauma. So whilst it seems unlikely that the bizarre experiences reported by most ‘abductees’ stem from severe mental illness (which can produce equally bizarre and seemingly real experiences) it is certainly the case that this group has characteristics that differentiate them from the general population. It is possible that these dispositions may increase the tendency for them to explain an anomalous experience in terms of alien contact.
Memory distortion Our memories are often infuriatingly fallible, leading us to forget information we want to remember, remember information we’d rather forget, or often confidently recall something that later turns out to be inaccurate. A recent study has investigated memory distortions in people claiming to have been subject to alien capture. Participants in the study were read several lists of similarly themed words then given tests of recall and recognition. The results of the study indicated that ‘abductees’ were able to remember words from the original list as well as ‘non-abductees’, but tended to show a higher rate of recall and recognition for words that were never actually read out in the first place. This suggests that the ‘abductees’ are more likely to misidentify the source of memories, perhaps suggesting that some elements of their abduction experience may have been culled from other sources such as the media or their own imagination.
This effect may also work retrospectively, allowing people to co-opt previous memories to support an abduction account. An early memory study conducted by Frederic Bartlett demonstrated that we reconstruct memories as they are recalled to create a coherent story. This reconstruction takes place using cultural references that give us a frame on which to hang the various remembered experiences. The alien abduction experience is well known to almost everyone, due to the popularity of shows such as the X-Files, and famous cases which have hit the headlines. This may give some people a cultural framework on which they can hang memories from a bizarre, unusual or traumatic experience. Unfortunately it is even the case that naïve or even unscrupulous therapists may push alien abduction as a explanation for a bizarre experience that a client may have undergone. Many examples of therapists willing to use hypnotic regression, a technique noted for its tendency to cause false recall, to recover abduction experiences can be found on the internet. Perhaps giving an off-the-shelf explanation for strange experiences that the brain is quite capable of generating, without the need for extra-terrestrial intervention.
Conclusion It would certainly be foolish to discount the possibility of anything unlikely, simply because of its improbability. Yet we must also remember that we can often find explanations for anomalous experience within ourselves. As the old doctor’s adage goes ‘When you hear hoof beats, start by thinking horses not zebras’. This would seem to work as well for zebras as it does for visitors from outer-space.

UFO sighting: Video shows mysterious white dot pulsating in skies over Hertfordshire
UFO sighting: Video shows mysterious white dot pulsating in skies over Hertfordshire
The pulsating white dot was captured in shaky footage hovering over a house in Hoddesdon near Potters Bar
Is it a bird, is it a plane?
No it's undeniable proof of an alien invasion over Hertfordshire - or so UFO enthusiasts would like to believe.
The pulsating white dot was captured in shaky footage hovering over a house in Hoddesdon near Potters Bar.
The unidentified flying object seemingly moves in one direction and then the other, dismissing the chances of it being an aeroplane.
The video, credited to Jason Thomas, was filmed in May.
It was later posted to the FindingUFO YouTube channel.
Yesterday, July 2, alien watchers marked ‘World UFO Day’, the 68th anniversary of the alleged UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, USA, in 1947.
The stated goal of the July 2 celebration is to raise awareness of “the undoubted existence of UFOs” and to encourage governments to declassify their files on UFO sightings.

Stephen Bassett says, “Disclosure is very close;” perhaps this summer
Stephen Bassett says, “Disclosure is very close;” perhaps this summer
Stephen Bassett, executive director of PRG, is a leading advocate of UFO/alien Disclosure.
Disclosure Nation
On the heels of World UFO Day on July 2, 2015, Stephen Bassett, Executive Director of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG) said, “Based on a number of politically related developments, PRG believes Disclosure is very close.”
In a press release issued on July 3 he added, “A window has opened that could see the truth embargo ended this year, if not this summer, and a strategy is in place to seize that opportunity.”
This is exciting news for not just those who have spent years studying the UFO and alien phenomenon but also for the millions of people around the world, including thousands of abductees who have waited nearly 70 years for the United States government and military to finally tell the truth. To put the stamp of approval on what most people already know – that extraterrestrials and their crafts are a reality rather than a figment of over active imaginations.
Since 1997 Bassett has sent out monthly PRG updates related to the “truth advocacy work” that has been occurring on this issue.
“On November 5, 2014 Paradigm Research Group (PRG) began shipping the 30-hour video record of the 2013 Citizen Hearing on Disclosure (CHD) to all congressional offices,” he noted.
The DVDs included a letter signed by the many former military members, political figures and others, who came forward to share their stories on the UFO and ET presence. Afterward more than a million people sent messages via email to members of Congress to announce the upcoming Congressional Hearing Initiative. They were also given copies of the DVD set.
“Meetings with congressional staff are now underway,” Bassett affirmed. “A new round of media coverage will begin soon.”
Over the course of 2014 and into 2015, Disclosure Petitions were posted on the White House website. The final Disclosure Petition VII garnered 13,897 signatures, more than enough to let the White House know the seriousness of this issue. After this occurred, Bassett said requests were issued to meet with various members of Congress, including those on “two Select Committees on Intelligence, two Science/Space committees and the Senate Homeland Security Committee.”
But he did not intend to go it alone.
“Scores of military/agency/political witnesses of rank and station” were prepared to “testify under oath” before the various committees, he said. They were ready to share their experiences and evidence. Various UFO researchers were also prepared to present their evidence. All witnesses were ready to inform the sitting members on everything from the tampering of nuclear weapons, the Rockefeller Initiative, thousands of pilot sightings, the truth embargo that is still in place and more.
Now Bassett revealed, “Meetings with congressional staff are underway on both the House and Senate side.”
Over the past few months, the Congressional Hearing Initiative has garnered the interest of such notable media as the Washington Times, MSNBC, and others. Bassett also gave “four dozen media interviews.”
With this newest as yet unknown window of opportunity and “politically related developments,” Bassett has now decided that as of July 4, he would begin “posting video updates on the first and third Saturday of each month.” The updates will keep people informed about “the ongoing progress toward Disclosure” and to “share thoughts about the post-Disclosure world.” He added that all of the updates would be archived, so those who miss one of them can still hear them at any time.
Bassett has been making the rounds of internet radio shows over the past few months to share information with the public. Some of his upcoming interviews include:
* July 12 – WABC Radio with Emmy Award winner, Rita Cosby from 6 to 7 am.
ROSWELL >> To believe or not to believe: That was the question for many who attended the 20th annual Roswell UFO Festival on Friday.
At first glance, it appeared to be an everyday, small-town summer festival. Vendors of fried foods of all varieties lined up on Main Street along with purveyors of T-shirts, jewelry, pottery and knickknacks, very little of which was dedicated to UFOs and the extraterrestrial.
Nearer to the International UFO Museum, the vibe turned decidedly more out-of-this-world.
Albuquerque native Carey Fessler came all the way from Melbourne, Australia, to promote his new children's book, "Foiled," inspired by a photo of a flying disc at the museum. Fessler himself doesn't give much credence to the Roswell incident.
"As an author, you always ask, 'What if?' You don't really judge whether it's true or not," he said, "It's mostly to spark their imagination."
At a neighboring booth, brothers Eddie and Steve Stafford were debuting their UFO-inspired graphic T-shirts. Each tee is inspired by a different UFO story. The illustration on the front is accompanied by a brief story of what happened, like a 1948 dogfight between a National Guard pilot and an unidentified flying object.
"To me, if it was really something that easy to disprove, you wouldn't hear anything about it," Eddie Stafford said of the Roswell Incident. "I just don't know what to think."
For many of the festival attendees, whether the event happened or not didn't really matter.
Maria Garcia and her children, Sylvia Olivas and Joe and Yesmin Garcia of Roswell, come to the festival every year for good fun and family time.
"I just bring them out to get them out of the house," Maria Garcia said.
Although her children don't believe that aliens were on a ranch outside of Roswell nearly 70 years ago, they are well aware of the story.
"They crashed on a farm," Sylvia, 9, said.
At the museum, there are panels and presentations by UFO experts and enthusiasts, among others. Scheduled programs included "Roswell Deathbed Confessions," "What Aliens May Actually Look Like," "Sensual Encounters with Aliens" and a panel of abductees.
Denice Marcel is the granddaughter of Jesse Marcel Sr., an Army officer who picked up debris at the crash site and brought it home to show her grandmother and father, a young boy at the time. Marcel has recently taken on the role of state section director of the Mutual UFO Network. She is presenting "Beyond Roswell" at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Marcel said that the number of skeptics has decreased in recent years, with res
{earch on the universe making the possibility of alien life seem less and less absurd.
"I haven't run into anyone here who doesn't believe that it happened. I think in this day and age people are more open to the idea that, 'Hey, we're not the only ones here,' " Marcel said, "As my dad used to say, 'If we're the only ones out there, then there's a lot of wasted space.' "

Scientist Hail This Photo Of UFO Taken By Young Schoolboy As "Best Ever"
Scientist Hail This Photo Of UFO Taken By Young Schoolboy As "Best Ever"
Are we alone in the universe? A schoolboy In India may have just found the answer.
A schoolboy from India has snapped one of the most convincing shots of a UFO whilst playing with his new smartphone.
Abhijit Gupta, from Kanpur in India was thrilled after receiving his brand new phone with a high megapixel camera. Young Abhijit reportedly wants to grow up and be a photographer. Specializing in nature, specifically snapping never before seen plantlife.
Forget Plant Life!
After a few hours of fun-loving snappery outside the family home, Abhijit took his new toy back inside. It wasn't until he took his phone back inside to look through his photos that he noticed the strange craft.
"I like nature photography and when I saw various shapes of clouds in the sky I started clicking pictures on my phone. While I was going through the clicked pictures in the photo gallery, I saw a round object in the photographs and when I zoomed to take a closer look at it, I noticed it was a UFO." - Abhijit
Following on from the recent discovery of potentially alien pyramids on Mars, this image is the latest UFO photograph to go viral. Conspiracy theorists and UFO believers from all four corners of the globe are hailing this as 'final proof that aliens and UFOs exist'.
"Come on, this is irrefutable proof aliens are visiting us. It is not blurry, there is a clear sharp image of the craft, what do the non believers say about this!!- A poster on a UFO sightings website
Others however have not quite embraced the theory that we are not alone quite so willingly. Some have stated that this effect can be achieved using various apps found online.
But of course we will let you decide whether this is just the latest in a long line of fakes.

Titan's Northern Lakes: Salt Flats?
Titan's Northern Lakes: Salt Flats?
Titan's Northern Lakes: Salt Flats? Date: 23 Oct 2013
This false-color mosaic, made from infrared data collected by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, reveals the differences in the composition of surface materials around hydrocarbon lakes at Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Titan is the only other place in the solar system that we know has stable liquid on its surface, though its lakes are made of liquid ethane and methane rather than liquid water. While there is one large lake and a few smaller ones near Titan's south pole, almost all of Titan's lakes appear near the moon's north pole.
Scientists mapped near-infrared colors onto the visible color spectrum. Red in this image was assigned a wavelength of 5 microns (10 times longer than visible light); green, 2.0 microns (four times longer than visible light); and blue, 1.3 microns (2.6 times longer than visible light).
The orange areas are thought to be evaporite -- the Titan equivalent of salt flats on Earth. The evaporated material is thought to be organic chemicals originally from Titan's haze particles that once dissolved in liquid methane. They appear orange in this image against the greenish backdrop of Titan's typical bedrock of water ice.
In this mosaic, Kraken Mare, which is Titan's largest sea and covers about the same area as Earth's Caspian Sea and Lake Superior combined, can be seen spreading out with many tendrils on the upper right,. The big dark zone up and left of Kraken is Ligeia Mare, the second largest sea. Below Ligeia, shaped similar to a sports fan's foam finger that points just up from left, is Punga Mare, the third largest Titan sea. Numerous other smaller lakes dot the area. Titan's north pole is located in the geographic location just above the end of the "finger" of Punga Mare.

Here Are 9 Crazy UFO Sightings That Were Caught On Tape In Pennsylvania
Here Are 9 Crazy UFO Sightings That Were Caught On Tape In Pennsylvania
Whether or not you believe in extraterrestrial life, it’s undeniable that some of the things that have been spotted flying around in the sky are a little… bizarre. Sometimes you can easily write them off as an airplane, or maybe something more unusual like a helicopter or hot air balloon. Or what if it’s secret government drones?! Or your ex-husband spying on you with his own secret aircraft?! Or BATMAN?!
Well, you don’t have to go all the way out to Area 51 to spot some of these UFO’s, appropriately named unidentified flying objects. Here are some of the weirdest and clearest and most widely reported UFO sightings in Pennsylvania in recent years.
I fell down quite a YouTube rabbit hole while finding these, and am now a verifiable expert on Area 51, the Illuminati, and the Reptilian race… so I hope you enjoy.
1. This UFO in Harrisburg gained police attention and made it onto Good Morning America. Oh, to be a talk show host.
2. This sighting in Erie apparently came in the midst of a bunch of other sightings. Possibly a family reunion was happening on Venus, or something.
3. They’re flying in formation. A triangle! What does it mean!
4. This one is not a UFO sighting, but rather an unidentified sound, heard in Albrightsville. Apparently these sounds are popping up more and more frequently around the world.
5. Listening to this couple bicker is almost as much fun as watching all these UFOs move in a cluster across the sky in Delaware, PA.
6. This UFO that hovers near Pittsburgh just seems to… stare at you.
7. The maker of this video wants you to know that this is in no way an airplane.
8. Are these mysterious orbs extraterrestrials?
9. In case you can’t tell from looking at this video, don’t worry— the guy filming it will let you know what he spotted in the sky in Monongahela.
There you have it. Have you ever seen a UFO? Do you believe in aliens? Share in the comments below.

Wetenschappers zijn het eens: Big Rip is het einde van het universum
Wetenschappers zijn het eens: Big Rip is het einde van het universum
De Big Bang zorgde voor het begin van de wereld, en volgens nieuw onderzoek betekent de Big Rip het einde van ons universum.
Ooit komt er een einde aan het heelal, zoveel staat vast. Maar hoe we aan ons einde komen, blijft een raadsel. Al lijken enkele wetenschappers het antwoord te weten. Zo vonden enkele onderzoekers van de Vanderbilt University in Nashville nieuw bewijs voor de Big Rip theorie. In dit scenario dijt de ruimte tussen en binnen sterrenstelses zo snel uit dat de zwaartekracht de boel niet langer bij elkaar kan houden. Hierdoor worden sterrenstelsels, planeten en sterren uit elkaar getrokken. “Uiteindelijk zullen alle atomen verscheurd en verbrijzeld worden”, zegt professor Marcelo Disconzini onheilspellend in The Guardian. “Het zou een dramatisch einde betekenen.”
Deze theorie kwam voor het eerst ter sprake in 2003. Andere theorieën over het einde van het universum zijn de Big Crunch, waarbij sterrenstelsels naar elkaar toebewegen en de kosmos kleiner wordt, totdat alle zwarte gaten het heelal opslurpen. Volgens de Big Freeze zullen de melkwegstelses dan weer steeds verder van elkaar komen te liggen. Omdat het zo koud is, is leven niet meer mogelijk, zullen sterren uitdoven en zullen nieuwe sterren niet meer ontstaan.
Klinkt angstaanjagend allemaal, maar toch is er nog geen reden tot paniek. De kosmische doomsday is immers nogmiljarden jaren verwijderd.
Evolutionary biologist Simon Conway Morris has shared his belief that aliens are real and that they look just like us, noting how interesting it is that we have yet to find or come in contact with human-like beings, given the number of Earth-like planets we have discovered so far.
Professor Conway Morris is best known for his study on the Cambrian explosion, which saw a sudden evolutionary burst of complex animal life occur around 542 million years ago. Morris, a man of both religion and science, has also been challenging popular scientific theories with an open mind for quite some time. He feels that many theories, when pulled together, can help explain how we all got here, but on their own paint only an incomplete picture.[1]
Given his history, it’s not much of a surprise that Morris also delves into the ET realm. He feels that because many of the planets we have discovered are similar to our own, harbouring the distinct possibility for life, it is likely life has already emerged.
Morris has stated: “I would argue that in any habitable zone that doesn’t boil or freeze, intelligent life is going to emerge, because intelligence is convergent.”
“One can say with reasonable confidence that the likelihood of something analogous to a human evolving is really pretty high.”
“And given the number of potential planets that we now have good reason to think exist, even if the dice only come up the right way every one in 100 throws, that still leads to a very large number of intelligences scattered around, that are likely to be similar to us.”
Professor Conway Morris continues to say: “Fermi’s paradox seems to be coming rather sharply into focus. If I’m on the right track then the likelihood of intelligence is evolving and actively engaging in some sort of transgalatic expeditions doesn’t seem to be completely beyond the realm of possibility.”
“What Fermi didn’t know when he asked that famous question was that the number of Earth-like planets is absolutely gigantic now. More problematic is that many of these solar systems far, far pre-date our solar system. They would have, in principle, a major head start of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of years.”
“The problem is exceedingly acute: we shouldn’t be alone but, famous last words, all the evidence suggests we are. Maybe [aliens] are hiding, the Arthur C Clarke idea, or as Stephen Baxter mischievously suggested we live in a virtual world. I don’t honestly know. My suspicion is we have only begun to scratch at the surface of reality, for want of a better word.”
But are they hiding? It almost seems like there’s been so much evidence of “someone else” that the statement “maybe they’re hiding” seems misplaced.
Valid Theories?
Are his theories something to be taken seriously or is he off in left field? Given the amount of research that has gone into this subject over the years, enough evidence, case studies, and experiences have been documented to suggest it’s not at all unreasonable to believe that aliens not only exist, but that they could be among us already. Even Harvard professor John Mack states when it comes to alien abductions: “Yes, it’s both. It’s both literally, physically happening to a degree; and it’s also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension.”
Canada’s former defense minister Paul Hellyer not only believes ETs exist, but states that “at least 4 known alien species have been visiting earth for thousands of years.” In an interview we did with Hellyer at Toronto City Hall I asked him outright about the existence of different species, and he told me that at some levels of military and government it’s such a known fact that it’s not even surprising to them anymore.
Exciting Time For Disclosure
In the end this topic is so widely discussed now that it’s only a matter of time before big answers will come. Some believe the answers are already there while others are waiting for more tangible proof, and they are of course entitled to wait. I do believe though that instead of being rash, angry, or condescending about the probability of alien life, we could be more curious, excited, and open. It’s a very real and practical possibility, and the days of thinking it’s crazy talk should be long gone.
I wanted to test my skills on Google Earth at finding ancient ships. Many people have tried to tell me that what I report on mars is not real, its just in my head. The term is called “pareidolia.” I have a masters degree in counseling education. I know all about that and much more and what those morons are doing is embedding…that means they learn one technique word and they apply it to everything they see. Its a sign of an amateur…which clearly they are. This is a ship and it took me about 5-7 minutes to find. I also found about 6 others near by that may be ships, but may not be. I only wanted to report the sure thing, to erase all doubt about my skills. I found a 41 meter ship, what you do with this knowledge is up to you. Trust me when I report Mars structures. I have a good head on my shoulders.
This is the longest-period binary system containing a radio pulsar. A pulsar, known as J2032. When astronomers started watching it, they had no idea how dynamic was. They still don’t know what it’s capable of. This pulsar has been accelerating for the last ten years, and it’s still speeding up.
When it passes through the companion star’s disk, we’re gonna see some serious gamma-ray emission. The pulsar, known as J2032 is the crushed core of a massive star that exploded as a supernova.
It is a magnetized ball about 12 miles across, or about the size of Washington, weighing almost twice the sun’s mass and spinning seven times a second.
The massive star tugging on the pulsar is named MT91 213. Classified as a Be star, the companion is 15 times the mass of the sun and shines 10,000 times brighter. Be stars drive strong outflows, called stellar winds, and are embedded in large disks of gas and dust.
Astronomers are expecting high-energy explosions when pulsar J2032 swings around its massive companion star in early 2018. The pulsar will plunge through a disk of gas and dust surrounding the star, triggering cosmic fireworks.
Astronomers think the supernova explosion that created the pulsar also kicked it into its eccentric orbit, nearly tearing the binary apart in the process.
A study of the system led by Lyne and including Ray and Stappers was published June 16 in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
GREAT PHOTO OF AN ALIEN CRAFT OVER CHARNHAM PARKAPRIL 29, 2015 …… CHARNHAM PARK UNITED KINGDOM
Newbury Weekly News reader Vanessa Cloete snapped this image, and many more like it, of an unidentified aerial phenomenon above her home in the Charnham Park vicinity. And it wasn’t a one-off. Ms Cloete, who works night shifts, first saw the object several weeks ago and was amazed when it returned – not once, but several times. On the last occasion, she said: “I was so fascinated I went and knocked for my neighbours. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing and got their camera to take stills and video images.
“The strange thing is that it seems to change shape and sometimes is surrounded by green lights and, sometimes, blue. I first saw it out of my bedroom window.” Ms Cloete is adamant that the object is not the planet Venus because it moves rapidly around the night sky. She said: “Whatever it is, it’s round and sometimes flashes. It stays in the sky for up to an hour before suddenly vanishing. I think I’ve seen it more than most because of the shifts I work.”
The object was last seen on Friday, April 29. Since the story was published in the Hungedrford edition of this week’s Newbury Weekly News, more residents have come forward to say they had seen the mystery object too. One reader sent their own photograph of the mysterious phenomenon. But none could offer an explanation for what they had seen.
The story presented needs a premise: There is little information on the network and there is only a documentary broadcast exclusively by the US television network Sci-Fi i in 1998, called ”The Secret KGB Abduction Files” (The secrets. abdubción files of the KGB) is really difficult to find objective evidence that could confirm the veracity of the report.
The only authoritative opinion was provided by the same US television at the time of transmission, according to which the team of experts assessing the film confirmed its authenticity.
The US network has issued the film once, and no other copy of the video available except those that are available thanks to those who took the time to record the broadcast.
The film would show a KGB secret expedition to Egypt as part of “Isis Project”, in which Soviet intelligence discovered the existence of what appears to be an alien mummy. Before the broadcast, the film was never shown outside the structures of the KGB secret.
Is an elaborate hoax, and expensive, or the “Tomb Visitor” could be the discovery that will revolutionize the understanding of the beginnings of human civilization?
It began with the revelations of Viktor Ivanovich, a neurologist and Russian astrophysicist hired by the Kremlin as a scientific advisor for the development of advanced propulsion systems.
As he tells Sci-Fi, Ivanovich had access to some secret archives of the KGB in which he spoke of an expedition in 1961 as part of ”Isis Project”, which aimed to discover traces of knowledge and technology Ancient Egypt that could be used for military applications.
The mission team consists of Egyptologists of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, a certain Herman Alekseen such as the Hermitage Museum Egyptologist, military experts specialized in chemical and radioactivity, some astronomers, including Vladimir Yuri, and Sami Sharaf , Secretary of Gamel Abdel Nasser, the second president of the Republic of Egypt.
If we consider the historical period in which the shipment would take place, it’s no wonder the political axis between Egypt and the Soviet Union. Since the conflict in 1956, when Israel invaded Egyptian territory, as a result of Canal crisis, the Soviet Union sided with Egypt. It is estimated that when the Isis project began, the Soviet military present in Egypt reached 20 000 units.
The expedition was organized after the chance discovery of a mysterious tomb by two Bedouins Magbarat Alzoar in one of the pyramids of Giza. The two victims, after entering the tomb, they were taken ill and hospitalized. When questioned by agents of the KGB and Egyptian intelligence, he repeated that the Bedouin had found the “Visitor God.”
Since then, the ”Isis Project” became the highest priority and every effort will be organized to find and analyze the tomb discovered by the two Bedouins. The expedition was organized jointly by the two countries in secret, for fear that the CIA, the US intelligence services, might become aware of the discovery.
According to the report document held by Ivanovich, the Soviets found the tomb full of artifacts. Thus we read in a note addressed to a senior officer of the KGB:
“My agents have secured notes of scientists working at the Tomb of visitor discovered”
This is followed by the following list of information:
Findspot: undisclosed; 15 boxes of artifacts; 1 partially mummified body; one stone sarcophagus, 8 samples of hieroglyphics.
In the report prepared by one of the first scientists to enter the tomb reads:
“During the inspection of the walls we have noticed a strange repulsive force coming out of the walls. We could not find any scientific explanation.”
Finally, the report prepared by one of the cryptographers, who participated in the partial decoding engraved on the walls of the tomb message, read a prophecy involving the “return of the winged”.
But the most surprising discovery relates to the mummy. The mummy seems to have a height of more than 2 meters high, much higher than the average height of the inhabitants of ancient Egypt.
Carbon-14 analysis conducted by molecular biologist Boris Timoyev revealed that the body goes back about 12,000 years ago, thousands of years before the Egyptian dynastic period. Who could be the mummified body content in the sarcophagus?
According to Egyptian mythology, a family of gods descended from the stars in Egypt. They taught them the knowledge and wisdom. Later, when his work was over, they left the earth to return to heaven, with the exception of Osiris, who was left with the task of protecting and maintaining the dice ancestral knowledge.
The god Osiris. According to Egyptian mythology, he came down from heaven in a ‘flying boat’. Was it a UFO?
Osiris brought civilization to men, taught them to cultivate the land and produce wine, and was loved by the people. After his death was mummified and buried in a secret location.
Based on this ancient myth, shortly after the discovery of the tomb of the visitor, a group of scientists, computer programmers, doctors and other academics gathered to discuss the scope of the event. The group was convinced that the body in the coffin was the mummy of Osiris, the alien king! The group adopted the name of “followers”, a movement of almost religious boundaries, dedicated to the worship of the “visitor from the stars.”
The Kremlin took the matter under a more pragmatic profile. At the time of the Cold War, it would have been helpful to have some kind of invincible alien technology. Moreover, Soviet scientists began to wonder seriously what the real function of the pyramids and if they had been designed for a particular purpose. Some of them were the hypothesis that they are powerful machines able to channel some energy of the cosmos or some kind of interstellar transmitter.
The KGB and the meeting with the former astronaut
What piqued the interest of the Sci-Fi in the subject was a film that seems to have obtained US broadcaster of the Russian mafia through an intermediary.
The film obtained from the archives of the KGB and high security images show the discovery of the sarcophagus inside the tomb Guest. The Sci-Fi experts guarantee the authenticity of the film.
The black and white video shows a number of soldiers and officers entering what appears to be an Egyptian burial chamber without gas masks. At the opening of the sarcophagus, you can see a cloud of toxic gas invading the environment and the reaction of the soldiers affected by the breath and fear as they watch the mummy in the coffin that contained it.
Later, the place seems to have been organized for further scientific analysis. Now the soldiers are wearing special protective suits.
What value can be given to this film? Is it a joke made on the basis of the revelations of Ivanovich? There is no doubt that the video shows concordance with the data contained in documents Ivanovich. This, according to some, would be further evidence to support the authenticity of the film.
Furthermore, it appears that the private screening organized by the team of Sci-Fi, issued before the documentary aired, this daughter of one of those who formed the ”followers” who, recognizing his father in the images of the film, she begins to mourn.
“There is no doubt that a small group of Russian scientists with military experts have discovered a tomb in Egypt in 1961,” says Ivanovich. “But in the documents it has never been revealed exactly what was found inside the sarcophagus. Only through the sources of the highest ranks of the KGB know that we have found the remains of an alien creature died in Egypt 10,000 years before Christ “.
If the information disclosed by Dr. Ivanocih are true, we need to reconsider all the cultural evolution of human civilization. Constantly, there is news that reveal the past of the Earth much more sophisticated and enigmatic than previously thought.
Moreover, whatever people may say, knowledge of Egyptian civilization and the construction of the great pyramids of Giza remains a mystery. “The fundamental question about ancient Egypt is to understand how such an advanced civilization, at the height of its development around 2500 BC, has appeared on the world stage,” says McNaughton Roselyn Institute of Egyptology.
“All the other ancient civilizations have experienced a progressive historical development in the design of its technology in hundreds or even thousands of years. This has not happened in ancient Egypt. A fully formed society suddenly came out of the desert”.
If We Shoot Down a UFO We’ll Trigger an Interstellar War – Former Canadian Minister of Defense
Former Canadian minister of Defense Paul Hellyer warns against the reckless idea of shooting down an unidentified flying object.
His position as minister of Defense (1963-1968) allowed him access to information pertaining to the UFO phenomenon. Since he retired, Hellyer has made some unexpected statements that resounded within the community.
He believes that we are not alone in the universe and aliens have been visiting our planet for thousands of years. The former minister is certain they still walk among us. As a matter of fact, Hellyer claims, their crafts are as real as airplanes flying over our heads.
In an interview with RT, he recalled an event that took place in 1961, during the Cold War:
“[…]there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying south from Russia across Europe, and Supreme Allied Command was very concerned and about ready to push the ‘Panic’ button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole.”
“They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for 3 years and they decided that, with absolute certainty, four species – at least – had been visiting our planet for thousands of years.”
Hellyer is convinced the increase of UFO activity over the past few decades can be blamed on the invention of the atomic bomb. The first detonations of nuclear weapons during WWII attracted the attention of extraterrestrial civilizations because these weapons of mass destruction disrupt the unity of the Cosmos, affecting us and aliens alike.
“They are very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again, and this would be very bad for us and for them as well.”
The former minister thinks our recent advancements in technology have had an unexpected side-effect. They served as a cosmic beacon for as many as 80 different alien species.
“There are about 80 different species and some of them look just like us and they could walk down the street and you wouldn’t know if you walked past one. They are what we call ‘Nordic blondes’ and also the Tall Whites who were actually working with the US Air Force in Nevada.”
“Then there’s the Short Greys as they are called, and they are the ones you see in most of the cartoons, they have very-very slim arms and legs, they are very short, just a little over 5 feet, and they have a great big head and great big brown eyes.”
It would be difficult to ascertain the intentions of the various alien species on Earth. Their agendas are as diverse as those of the different human nations populating our planet.
“I would say that nearly all are benign and benevolent and they do want to help us, there may be one or two species which do not. That’s one of the things I’m investigating at the moment, to see who they are, what they are up to and what their agendas really are.”
Until such information becomes available, we should definitely exercise caution. Our inferior technology would be no match for that of the extraterrestrials; they are far ahead of us and in the event of war, we wouldn’t stand a chance. In this case, should we be expecting an invasion?
“I think it’s a possibility,” says Hellyer. “But it’s a possibility especially if we shoot down every UFO that comes into our airspace without asking who they are and what they want. Right from the beginning we started scrambling planes, trying to shoot them down, but their technology was superior enough that we weren’t able to get away with it, certainly not for a long while.”
“During that period of time they could have taken us over without any trouble if they wanted to, so I think, rather than developing our own Star Wars to protect ourselves against them, we should work with the benign species that are of a vast majority and work together, and rely largely on them, of course, and cooperate, so that we would be contributing something at the same time; I don’t think there’s any point in us developing a galactic force that would tempt us to ride on our own and get into mischief, which is one of the things that some of them are concerned about.”
While some of the ETs originated in distant places in the universe, such as the Pleiades or Zeta Reticuli star systems, others inhabit planets in our own solar system, such as Venus, Mars or the moons of Saturn. Regardless of their provenance, these alien species have recognized the need to form alliances:
“[…]they may be interacting between themselves – I suspect that they are because there is what is called a ‘Federation’ of these people and they have rules. For example, one of the rules is that they don’t interfere with our affairs unless they are invited to – and that’s one of the reasons, probably, that we haven’t seem more of them until very recently…”
Despite keeping their diplomatic distance, the aliens of the Federation are deeply concerned about the future of humanity and Planet Earth. They acknowledge the fact that Earth is our home but they cannot dismiss the fact that we are bad keepers:
“They don’t want to tell us how to run our affairs, they have accepted the fact that this is our planet, and that we have the right to run it, but they are very concerned: they don’t think we are good stewards of our planet, we’re clear cutting our forests, we’re polluting our rivers and our lakes, and we’re dumping sewage in the oceans, and we’re doing all sorts of things which are not what good stewards of their homes should be doing.”
And we are still being given a chance. Despite our global selfishness, the Federation avoids using its superior technology to punish us. Hellyer believes it all boils down to free will:
“The Cosmos is based on free choice. We’re given the option of making mistakes, of making wrong choices, and I guess, what bothers some of us, is that we’ve made too many wrong choices, and not enough right choices.”
“So we’re going to have to start switching our priorities and stop spending so much time and effort on weapons to kill each other, or to dominate each other, and spend a lot more time on how to help each other to have a better life and a more just society, and life which is healthier.”
Paul Hellyer is an advocate of disclosure. Only by knowing the full magnitude of the situation could we begin to change.
“Our future as a species, and here I mean all of the species in the world, is potentially at risk if we don’t figure what’s going on and work together and try and make life more amenable for all of us, and to work with our neighbors from other planets as well.”
Miljoenen jaren oude stukken gereedschap gevonden in Frankrijk?
Miljoenen jaren oude stukken gereedschap gevonden in Frankrijk?
In een steengroeve in de buurt van de Franse stad Aix-en-Provence deden werklieden eind 18e eeuw een vondst die tot op de dag van vandaag een mysterie blijft. Ze groeven door vele lagen kalksteen en troffen tussen de 11e en 12e laag door mensen gemaakte voorwerpen aan die in strijd leken te zijn met de tijdlijn van de mensheid.
De vondst is in 1820 door T.D. Porter beschreven in het American Journal of Sciences and Arts toen hij bezig was het werk van mineraloog Jacques Louis de Bournon te vertalen. Hoewel Porter de voorwerpen niet heeft gedateerd, schreef Roy Bainton in zijn boek ‘The Mammoth Book of Unexplained Phenomena’ dat het omringende kalksteen 300 miljoen jaar oud was.
Porter citeerde De Bournon: “Ze vonden munten, handvatten van hamers en andere stukken gereedschap in hout. De aandacht ging vooral uit naar een plank die ongeveer 2,5 centimeter dik en tussen de 2 tot 2,4 meter lang was. De plank had dezelfde vorm als de planken die werden gebruikt door de werklieden. Het leek erop dat mensen al in de groeve werkzaam waren nog voordat er überhaupt mensen op aarde zouden moeten zijn, laat staan dat ze gereedschap konden gebruiken.”
De houten stukken gereedschap waren inmiddels veranderd in agaat. Porter ging verder: “Op 15 meter diepte, onder 11 lagen kalksteen, zijn sporen gevonden van menselijke activiteit. Alles lijkt erop te wijzen dat het werk is uitgevoerd op de plek waar de sporen zijn gevonden. De mens moet dan ouder zijn dan dit gesteente.”
Lange tijd werd gedacht dat het miljoenen jaren duurt voordat hout versteent, maar recentelijk is aangetoond dat hout onder speciale omstandigheden (door bijvoorbeeld te worden blootgesteld aan mineraalrijk water) in enkele jaren of decennia kan verstenen.
Kalksteen zou zich relatief snel kunnen vormen rond voorwerpen. Er zijn gevallen bekend waarbij versteend hout is gevormd rond voorwerpen uit de 20e eeuw. Is het kalksteen rond de gereedschappen die in Frankrijk zijn gevonden gevormd in het recente verleden of zijn ze heel erg oud?
Waren de omstandigheden dusdanig dat de houten gereedschappen in korte tijd zijn versteend of gingen er miljoenen jaren overheen? De steengroeve bij Aix-en-Provence is zonder meer ongewoon. Leefde er misschien een verloren beschaving?
Ongetwijfeld zullen buitenaardsen net als mensen nieuwsgierig zijn.
Als ze dus een groot openlucht concert zien in het Londense Hyde Park dan moeten ze toch echt even een kijkje komen nemen.
Het is zomer en weer de tijd voor festivals en openluchtconcerten.
Zo vond er op 20 juni 2015 een open lucht concert plaats van de Engelse rockband Blur in Hyde Park in Londen.
Wat natuurlijk veel fans proberen is een korte video opname maken met behulp van een mobiele telefoon.
Dat was ook wat Diarmuid Nagle in gedachten had toen hij onderstaande video-opname maakte van de band en ook nog iets anders.
Op de beelden zie je twee vreemde objecten langs schieten, rechts van het podium, net op het moment dat de band begint met het refrein van hun hit Parklife.
Zoals dikwijls het geval worden de vreemde objecten door het overgrote deel van het publiek niet opgemerkt. Op zich is dat niet zo vreemd natuurlijk omdat iedereen gebiologeerd naar de band kijkt en ook omdat de lichten maar even zichtbaar zijn.
