Gravitational Waves: What Their Discovery Means for Science and Humanity
Gravitational Waves: What Their Discovery Means for Science and Humanity

People around the world cheered yesterday morning (Feb. 11) when scientists announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves — ripples in the fabric of space-time whose existence was first proposed by Albert Einstein, in 1916.
The waves came from two black holes circling each other, closer and closer, until they finally collided. The recently upgraded Large Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) captured the signal on Sept. 14, 2015. Not every scientific discovery gets this kind of reception, so what exactly is all the hype about, and what's next for LIGO now that it has spotted these elusive waves?
First of all, detecting two colliding black holes is thrilling by itself — no one knew for sure if black holes actually merged together to create even more-massive black holes, but now there's physical proof. And there's the joy of finally having direct evidence for a phenomenon that was first predicted 100 years ago, using an instrument that was proposed 40 years ago. [Gravitational Waves Detected by LIGO: Complete Coverage]
But what is truly monumental about this detection is that it gives humanity the ability to see the universe in a totally new way, scientists said. The ability to directly detect gravitational waves — which are generated by the acceleration or deceleration of massive objects in space — has been compared to a deaf person suddenly gaining the ability to hear sound. An entirely new realm of information is now available.
"It's like Galileo pointing the telescope for the first time at the sky," LIGO team member Vassiliki (Vicky) Kalogera, a professor of physics and astronomy at Northwestern University in Illinois, told Space.com. "You're opening your eyes — in this case, our ears — to a new set of signals from the universe that our previous technologies did not allow us to receive, study and learn from."
"Up until now, we've been deaf to gravitational waves," LIGO Executive Director David Reitze, of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), said during an announcement ceremony in Washington, D.C. "What's going to come now is we're going to hear more things, and no doubt we'll hear things that we expected to hear … but we will also hear things that we never expected."
With this new sensory view of the universe, here are some of the things scientists hope to discover.
The universe unlocked: gravitational waves detected
LIGO is particularly sensitive to gravitational waves that come from violent cosmic events, such as two massive objects colliding or a star exploding. The observatory has the potential to locate these objects or events before light-based telescopes can do so, and in some cases, gravitational-wave observations could be the only way to find and study such events.
For example, in yesterday's announcement, scientists reported that LIGO had identified two black holes spinning around each other and merging together in a final, energetic collision. As their name suggests, black holes don't radiate light, which means they are invisible to telescopes that collect and study electromagnetic radiation. Some black holes are visible with light-based telescopes, because material in their immediate vicinity radiates, but scientists haven't seen examples of merging black holes with radiating material around them.
In addition, the black holes spotted by LIGO are 29 and 36 times the mass of the sun, respectively. But Reitze said that as LIGO's sensitivity continues to improve, the instrument could be sensitive to black holes that are 100, 200 or even 500 times the mass of the sun that are further away from Earth. "There could be a really nice discovery space that opens up once we get out there," he said.
Scientists already know that studying the sky in different wavelengths of light can reveal new data about the cosmos. For many centuries, astronomers could only work with optical light. But relatively recently, researchers built instruments allowing them to study the universe using X-rays, radio waves, ultraviolet waves and gamma-rays. Each time, scientists got a new view of the universe.
"If we're ever lucky enough to have a supernova in our own galaxy, or maybe in a nearby galaxy, we will be able to look at the actual dynamics of what goes on inside the supernova," said LIGO co-founder Rainer Weiss of MIT, who spoke at the announcement ceremony. While light is often blocked by dust and gas, "gravitational waves come right out [of the supernova], boldly unimpeded," Weiss said. "As a consequence, you really find out what's going on inside of these things."
Other exotic objects scientists hope to study with gravitational waves are neutron stars, which are mind-bogglingly dense, burned-out stellar corpses: A teaspoon of neutron-star material would weigh about a billion tons on Earth. Scientists aren't sure what happens to regular matter under such extreme conditions, but gravitational waves could provide extremely helpful clues, because these waves should carry information about the interior of the neutron star all the way to Earth, LIGO scientists said.
LIGO also has a system set up to alert light-based telescopes when the detector seems to have spotted a gravitational wave. Some of the astronomical events that LIGO will study, such as colliding neutron stars, may produce light in all wavelengths, from gamma-rays to radio waves. With LIGO's alert system in place, it's possible that scientists could observe some astronomical events or objects in various wavelengths of light, plus gravitational waves, which would provide a "very complete picture" of those events, Reitze said.
"When that happens, that'll be, I think, the next big thing in this field," he said.
Relativity
Gravitational waves were first predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which was published in 1916. That famous theory has stood up to all kinds of physical tests, but there are some aspects that scientists haven't been able to study in the real world, because they require very extreme circumstances. The extreme warping of space-time is one example of this.
"Until now, we have only seen warped space-time when it is very calm — as though we had only seen the surface of the ocean on a very calm day, when it's quite glassy," Kip Thorne of Caltech, another founding member of LIGO and an expert on warped space-time, said at yesterday's ceremony. "We had never seen the ocean roiled in a storm, with crashing waves. All that changed on Sept. 14. The colliding black holes that produced these gravitational waves created a violent storm in the fabric of space and time." [The History & Structure of the Universe (Infographic)]
"This observation tests that regime beautifully, very strongly," Thorne continued. "And Einstein comes out with beaming success."
But the study of general relativity via gravitational waves is far from over. Questions remain about the nature of the graviton, the particle believed to carry the gravitational force (just like the photon is the particle that carries the electromagnetic force). And scientists have many questions about the inner workings of black holes, which gravitational waves may help illuminate (so to speak). But all of that, the scientists said, will be revealed slowly, over the course of many years, as LIGO and related instruments collect more data on more events.
Looking toward the next three years, Reitze said the collaboration is focused on increasing LIGO's sensitivity to its full potential. This will make the observatory — which consists of two big detectors, one in Louisiana and the other in Washington state — more sensitive to gravitational waves. But scientists don't know how many events LIGO will see, because they don't know how often many of these events occur in the universe.
LIGO detected the binary black hole merger even before the instrument began its first official observation campaign after its recent upgrade, but it's possible that this was a lucky break. To get the gravitational astronomy train rolling, LIGO simply needs more data.
When asked to comment on LIGO's impact on the world beyond the scientific community, and about how gravitational-wave science might influence people's daily lives, Reitze simply said, "Who knows?"
"When Einstein predicted general relativity, who would have predicted that we'd use it every day when we use our cellphones?" he said. (General relativity provides an understanding how gravity influences the passing of time, and this information is necessary for GPS technology, which uses satellites that orbit further away from the gravitational pull of the Earth than people on the surface).
LIGO is "the most sensitive instrument ever built," said Reitze, and the technological advances that have been made while building the observatory may feed into technologies that will be used in ways people can't yet predict.
Thorne said he sees the larger contribution of LIGO slightly differently.
"When we look back on the era of the Renaissance, and we ask ourselves, 'What did the humans of that era give to us that's important to us today?' I think we would all agree it's great art, great architecture, great music," he said.
"Similarly, when our descendants look back on this era, and they ask themselves, 'What great things came to us?' … I believe there will be an understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe and an understanding of what those laws do in the universe, and an exploration of the universe," Thorne added. "LIGO is a big part of that. The rest of astronomy is a big part of that. And I think that cultural gift to our future generations is really much bigger than any kind of technological spin-off, than the ultimate development of technology of any kind. I think we should be proud of what we give to our descendants culturally."
Bright UFO Discards Another Glowing Object To Ground Level
Bright UFO Discards Another Glowing Object To Ground Level
A man in Spokane Valley in Washington claimed to have witnessed and recorded a glowing sphere on video. The object apparently stopped to hover and seemed to drop something. On January 26, 2014, the witness noticed a bright object in yellow, red, and orange colors from the outside into a back porch around 7 p.m.
He went north of his house and stopped before he changed direction to the east. He alerted his family for them to witness the strange aerial event.
The witness saw the object hovered, flashed brightly many times, and discarded something glowing from the bottom of it. The object then slowly lost its brightness.
Interestingly, it wasn’t the first time he saw the object. He saw the same object doing the same thing in almost the same place, only slightly farther southeast.
A second witness made a report to UFOSNW of a large glowing orange sphere to the east at approximately 1810 hours on the same date. The witness lived around a mile from the first witness who took a video footage.
MUFON investigator James E. Clarkson closed the case as an unknown aerial vehicle (AUV). He considered the case as strange with technical evidence and strong witness credibility.
In 2015 I met ET-human hybrids for the first time—eight of them. Within two months, my reality was expanding so fast that I had to let go of trying to understand it all intellectually. It became clear that this cannot all be understood with the mind. We cannot turn their information on consciousness, love and oneness into personal knowledge without opening our hearts and occasionally letting the mind take a back seat.
That is just one of the key learnings that came out of the research that Barbara Lamb and I undertook for what has become the book Meet the Hybrids – The Lives and Missions of ET Ambassadors on Earth. The hybrids have access to a level of understanding that answers not just the big questions of ufology, but many of the biggest questions that humans have ever thought to ask.
Let that sink in for a moment. Then let the questions flow: how do they know so much? Who are they? What are they? Why are they here?
This brief introduction to hybrids will only scratch the surface of what we uncovered in the research, but it will give the reader a sense of the complexity and multidimensional nature of the subject.
This has major implications for ufology, and indeed the wider enterprise of human inquiry. I will close with some further thoughts on what this suggests for our continuing research in this field.
What is a hybrid?
There are various types of hybrids it seems. For our glossary, the definition we arrived at—with input from the hybrids—was: a being which has been genetically altered to be more than one species.
How are hybrids created?
Another complex question. One of the hybrids was created as part of a military project, combining DNA from her human parents and two ET races. Four of the hybrids understand they had ET genetics introduced while in their mother’s womb. Commonly, they are composed of a number of ET races. Some call these their ET ‘frequencies’.
One of the hybrids described a process called ‘spinning’, in which the various genetics and ‘energetic imprints’ of the ET ‘parents’ are combined, in order to set up the template for the cell mass. This is then made ready for the being to incarnate on Earth to human parents.
Several understand they made an agreement as a soul to incarnate on Earth as a hybrid, and they may recall doing the planning while in that pre-corporeal state.
Another of the hybrids had several theories as to how he was created, including the possibility that, given his Mantis component, he may have created himself. As these particular Mantis beings don’t die in the way we understand, they can choose a new form as required.
How do they know they are hybrids?
Most of them uncovered their identity slowly, putting pieces together over the years as memories of ET visitations came back, visitations increased or messages from ETs came through more clearly.
They all have ‘guides’ or ‘star families’ they interact with in various ways. These guides may be ET, or human or animal spirits. Sometimes these guides offer hints, sometimes they are more direct with their messages. They can also use physical effects to enhance their messages.
It was common that the hybrids had no shock or surprise at receiving confirmation of their nature. Many expressed relief—a reaction far from what a regular human, I imagine, would have at learning such a thing.
Why are hybrids created?
This is the question the hybrids themselves are most concerned with. What is their purpose—their mission? And what are the ETs trying to achieve through this enterprise?
This is, in my view, the most important information to come out of this research for the field of ufology. The answer depends on which ETs one is referring to. There are principally two classes: those in ‘service to self’, and those in ‘service to others’. Most of the ‘negative’ experiences with ETs may occur with the service to self ETs, who reportedly display little compassion for the needs of humans. The ‘service to others’ class are, in general, more like cosmic missionaries, and are here to help humankind evolve—to move through the ‘Ascension’ process.
Ascension is another contested topic. Some hybrids view it as a process of the planet and its inhabitants shifting from the third to the fifth dimension—becoming less physically dense, and some see it as more of a spiritual evolution, in the sense of becoming more enlightened, and living more harmoniously with ourselves, each other and the world in which we live. So both could be thought of as processes of spiritual development, but the term ‘spiritual’—as ever—has varying interpretations.
Both classes are creating hybrids. The activity of the ‘self’ class has been documented across two key books by David Jacobs, and the ‘others’ class by ourselves, and 17 years ago, by CristiAnne Quiros in her PhD dissertation. Many people have explored aspects of these subjects over the last few decades, but I refer here to specific studies of hybrids.
Understanding of the hybrid subject has been previously somewhat skewed towards a darker interpretation, as Jacobs’ work and conclusions have dominated the discourse. His research has pointed to a ‘colonization’ program, wherein certain ETs seek to take over Earth by producing hybrids which look human but can control the minds of other humans through their superior psychic abilities.
The dissertation of Quiros, a psychology graduate, was (to my knowledge) the first major study of the phenomenon which directly involved people identifying as hybrids. The lives and understandings of six—all North American women—were explored for the purposes of equipping the therapeutic community to assist hybrids and their friends and family. Quiros found that the hybrids saw their creation, and the intentions of the ETs responsible, as being a fundamentally benevolent enterprise, which seeks to preserve and enhance human life, principally through the expansion of human consciousness—relating to the concept of Ascension.
Our research explored the subject in a similar way, but went deeper and wider. What became evident is that Jacobs and Quiros may both be correct in their conclusions—they are simply talking about different ETs. The hybrids noted that among the races we hear of regularly, there are often several varieties. For example, the reptilian hybrids in the book made it clear that they are connected to benevolent reptilians, and the male Mantis hybrid said that there are Mantis beings with very different looks and agendas.
Between these two classes of beings there may be a nebulous middle ground, wherein experiencers are being traumatized by ‘service to others’ ETs who may have their own reasons for giving people the experiences they do. One of the hybrids pointed to the work of Lyssa Royal and Keith Priest, who discuss this in detail.
Bringing these two strands of research together to form a synthesis is an important step in comprehending the apparently contradictory information that has been coming forth over the last six decades concerning ET intentions. If we give credence to both sides of the interpretation, we have a much richer, more comprehensible picture of what is happening on this planet, involving the work and agendas of non-human intelligences.
Missions, abilities and services
Linking into the Ascension process are the missions of the hybrids. Some have numerous aspects to their missions. They are equipped with special abilities that help them carry out these missions, which they will often deliver through particular services.
Their missions range from helping the Earth and its people and animals, to helping other hybrids and starseeds, to developing new technologies.
In terms of abilities, most or all of them have some psychic and healing ability. The healing may involve psychic function at the diagnostic level as well as the treatment level.
Hybrids as spiritual teachers
Within a month of commencing the interviews, it was evident that perhaps above all else, this type of hybrid is effectively a spiritual teacher. Their understanding of the journey of the soul, of the evolutionary process we are all undertaking, is often detailed and profound. This is a subject that refuses to get hung up on the material or the intellectual—no matter how much we may want to apply the standards of Western materialist science to it. John Mack concluded the same in his research. We need to be open to other ways of knowing, particularly direct experience. The book offers advice and techniques from the hybrids for pursuing one’s own Ascension, and even for connecting with ETs directly.
Beyond ufology
The hybrids take us right through and beyond ufology, and throw open a mass of questions as to what we may best do with their information, and how we may continue to make progress with this subject. If we accept the word of the hybrids, and work with their information and techniques personally, we find that ufology becomes too small a place for this exploration. The level of conceptual expansion and personal spiritual revelation available to anyone suggests that we revisit the definition of ufology, and ask whether this is still a useful term, or if it has now been outgrown.
The increasing contact between science and spirituality which is developing in the mainstream—as well as the continuing exploration of space—is opening up opportunities for the information that has been produced by ufology to connect with and contribute to these more conventional modes of inquiry. And given the unprecedented democratization of information flows in our culture, I submit that the time has never been better for those of us committed to expanding our understanding of reality to make progress in offering our research to the mainstream.
The hybrids offer the royal road to solving the mysteries of ufology, and so much more. Let us make the best use of this resource. After all, for many of them, helping us is built into their mission.

Being out under the stars on a clear night can be "food for the soul," and it's been known to trigger a lifelong passion for astronomy in more than one impressionable youngster - myself included! But it can also leave you wondering what you're looking at. Is that bright object a star, or a planet, or even a satellite? Where does one constellation end, and the next one begin? And where can I find that comet that everyone’s been talking about? Is it even visible from where I live?
It's not always convenient to consult an astronomy book, or magazine star chart, in the dark, and not everyone has access to these aids. But nearly everyone has a mobile device these days, and there are plenty of apps available for sky watchers of all ages and knowledge levels. In this series of columns, we'll explore astronomy the 21st century way – with astronomy and space-related apps and gadgets.
Here, we'll explain how to navigate the sky and learn some prominent stars and constellations. We'll learn why different stars are visible at different times of the year. We'll cover how the planets move along the ecliptic (the plane of the solar system), and where to find it. We'll study the moon's motion across the sky, and why it occasionally eclipses a star – or the sun! We'll start off by helping you configure the app so you're ready for the next clear night. [Smart Space Apps to Explore the Universe]
For telescope owners, astronomy apps can offer advice on what to observe, and what’s likely to be visible with your equipment, large or small. Many naked eye stars are actually double or multiple systems, often comprised of stars of different colors - and these can be enjoyed in a backyard telescope. Most of these multiple stars were named before the invention of the telescope, so they only bear a single name. Other stars vary in brightness on a repeating schedule that you can track yourself by observing how they vary compared to their neighbors in the eyepiece field of view. Advanced astronomy apps provide background information of the story behind the names, and the interesting science around the stars’ behavior.
Apps have opened up the universe to anyone with a mobile device, anywhere at anytime.
If you're a planet enthusiast, an astronomy app can tell you where the four Galilean moons of Jupiter are, and whether they are eclipsing one another, or casting their little round black shadows on the great planet's face. Jupiter rotates once every 10 hours or so, so your app is a great aid to determine when to look for the Great Red Spot. We'll explain how to configure and use the app to do all of these tasks.
Deep sky objects, nebulas, star clusters, and galaxies populate the night sky year round. While most galaxies are beyond the reach of backyard telescopes, several are easy to see with unaided eyes, if you know where to look. The Great Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, is six full moon diameters across, and the light you're seeing now left there 2.5 million years ago! Messier 31 is one of a list of 110 famous deep sky objects first listed by French astronomer Charles Messier in 1771, many of which can be spotted without a telescope. We'll cover how to generate lists of these objects for your location and observing date, and use your app to find them.
Astronomy and Space VR is coming and we’ll be there to cover it.

Not all apps are created equal. While we won't play favorites, we will identify the simple ones for beginners, and highlight the ones with advanced features that budding astronomers and even teachers can use, indoors or out, to fully learn the science. When new apps are released or old favorites updated, we'll review them and highlight what's new.
From time to time, we'll explain the purpose for many of the features, like the red screen mode for night vision, the meridian and ecliptic reference lines, and the various coordinate grids that can be switched on. Some of the apps allow you to explore the universe by flying from place to place and seeing the sky from another star. Or view our solar system as seen from another planet.
Some of the apps even allow you to connect to a computerized telescope and drive it around the sky. We'll cover that, too.
Mobile devices have given a 21st century technology boost to even the simplest of stargazing aids.

This Mobile Stargazing column will go beyond stargazing. We'll look at the apps for various space telescope and planetary exploration missions, including apps that tell you how to see the International Space Station, or watch spacewalks on your phone. There are even apps to alert you when to head outside and look for auroras, also known as northern lights. We'll also see how stargazers use mobile devices as astronomy aids, from taking smartphone astrophotographs, to leveling your telescope tripod, to catching that perfectly composed photograph by predicting where the moon or other objects will be on a given day and time.
In the next column, we'll highlight how mobile devices and apps represent a fundamental shift, allowing us to make a connection with the sky that we just couldn't before. We'll highlight common features found on most astronomy apps and how to set them up for best results. I'm also interested to hear what you want to know about, so please send questions and ideas for topics to cover in future columns. Until then, keep your eyes on the skies!
Meteorite Hunters: How the Experts Can Tell If Rocks Are from Space
Meteorite Hunters: How the Experts Can Tell If Rocks Are from Space

When news broke that a meteorite may have crash-landed in India last weekend, some experts thought it was odd that no one had seen a fiery space rock blaze across the sky.
That turned out to be the first of many clues suggesting that the unusual incident wasn't caused by a space rock, but likely by a land-based explosion — one that killed one person and injured three others, experts told Live Science.
"Initial assessments, based on photos posted online, are not consistent with something from space," NASA said in a statement emailed to Live Science. "Small meteorites do not start fires or cause explosions when they hit the ground." [See Photos of Meteorites Discovered Around the World]
The intense scrutiny paid to the Indian event isn't out of the ordinary. Typically, researchers rush to find meteorites the moment these extraterrestrial rocks hit Earth, said Geoff Notkin, president of Aerolite Meteorites, the world's largest meteorite company, and former host of the TV show "Meteorite Men," which aired from 2009 to 2012 on the Science Channel.
Notkin has chased Earth-bound meteorites for more than 20 years, and shared his tactics for tracking down the space rocks. But first, it's important to review the terminology: Small chunks of rock in space are called meteoroids. They're called meteors (shooting stars) when they fall through Earth's atmosphere, and they're known as meteorites if they touch down on land or in the water.
About 48.5 tons (44,000 kilograms) of meteoritic material falls on Earth daily, but it's usually the large, rare meteors and meteorites that make headlines (and craters), according to NASA.
Fireball in the sky
Large meteors often look like fireballs as they blast across the sky, much like the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor explosion that rained meteorites across parts of Russia and Kazakhstan, Notkin said. Researchers can use Doppler radar — the same technology that meteorologists use to predict the weather — to follow the meteor and its debris as it breaks apart during its flight.
"If we can get Doppler data on the falling patterns, it can really narrow the search area," Notkin said.

Other than that, researchers rely on eyewitness accounts and video footage (if there is any) to track the meteor. Sometimes, meteorites tumble onto private land, and Notkin will ask landowners if he can look on their property. (If the meteorite is later sold after being studied, Notkin and the landowner will agree on how to split the profits, he said.) In the United States, a meteorite that falls on a landowner's property belongs to the landowner, but if a space rock falls on public land, it belongs to the Smithsonian Institution, Notkin said.
Once researchers find the landing site, they examine objects in the area. Chances are, it's a meteorite if it has "a thin, black rind" on its surface — one that formed when the rock was "superheated" as it raced through Earth's atmosphere, he said.
"When they make it to Earth, they look very much like charcoal briquettes," Notkin said.
Moreover, meteorites are rich in iron, so they stick to magnets, he said. But the longer a meteorite sits on Earth, the more it's exposed to oxygen, water, fertilizers and other contaminating elements.
"There's a real urgency to recover them and get them to the lab as quickly as possible," Notkin said. "These are recently arrived visitors from outer space that have a lot of potential valuable information that they can tell us about their origin." [Crash! 10 Biggest Impact Craters on Earth]
Once a meteorite is in the lab, researchers can analyze its components. For instance, the mineral schreibersite, which contains nickel, iron and phosphorous, is found only in iron meteorites, Notkin said. Another clue is the Widmanstätten pattern, a geometric structure unique to iron meteorites, he said. Some meteorites are packed with gemstones, which form on asteroids that once had a molten core and formed crystals out of the magma.
Recovered meteorites can also yield fascinating geologic discoveries. In 2011, researchers found a new type of mineral on a 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite.
Space rock skeptic
After investigating countless meteorites, Notkin said he was skeptical when he heard about the Indian episode.
"When there's an unexplained event — when there's an explosion or a strange rock appears — it's very common for people who don't have expertise in meteorite science to say, 'Oh, that must be a meteorite. It must be something that fell out of the sky,'" Notkin said.
NASA seemed to echo that skepticism.
"To form a crater the size of what has been posted online would have required a meteorite of at least several kilograms," NASA said in the statement. "While more details may be forthcoming from local scientists, this is unlikely something from space."
In early 2016, Hillary Clinton gave what might be the most significant signal ever telegraphed to the American people about UFOs.
Or she just confirmed that the concussion she suffered three years ago has finally gotten to her.
On Jan. 4, Clinton, in response to a question from a reporter, stated that she intended to get to the bottom of the UFO issue and opined that she thinks we may have been visited, but wasn’t sure. She also stated that her campaign manager, John Podesta, made her personally pledge to get the information out. She suggested a task force might be created to look into the matter.
This is not the first time a person running for the Presidency has expressed an interest in the topic. President Jimmy Carter, during his 1976 campaign, stated that, as president, he would seek to get all the information about UFOs released to the public. It has beenreported that during a top-secret intelligence briefing, one of the first questions the newly elected President Carter asked the then-current CIA director George H.W. Bush was whether he could get access to the government’s information related to UFOs. Bush denied the request, stating that the president-elect had no “need to know” this information.
President George H. W. Bush
In a strange twist, we fast-forward to Oct. 15, 2015, when that very same former CIA director and former-President George H.W. Bush — while campaigning for his son Jeb — was asked whether the government would ever tell the truth about the UFO phenomenon. His response was, “Americans can’t handle the truth.” Naturally, Jeb’s spokesman said the comments didn’t represent the campaign.
Toward the end of the same article, reporting on the President’s comments, the writer suggested that Bush Sr. was likely suffering from some form of senility; however, undercutting that assertion in the very same article were the former president’s 1988 comments on the subject when his senility was not in question. He verified that the issue was classified, and that he knew a good deal about it.
Mainstream media have long-dismissed stories on the subject by making the obligatory comment about little green men. Everyone then chuckles because educated media types all know that humans are the only beings in the universe.
True to form, when Hillary Clinton broached the subject in January, CNN suggested she was joking. But while she may have been somewhat playful in her demeanor, the substance and extent of her comments suggested purpose and planning.
Clinton has been involved in UFO discussions through what the UFO community refers to as the Rockefeller Initiative. She has a good bit of background on the issue. We can either assume she is senile, was just joking, or she has some calculated interest in revealing what would be the most important disclosure in human history.
Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta
The key is John Podesta. He has stated that getting the UFO files released was his greatest failure while in the Obama Administration.

He also encouraged Lena Dunham to ask Hillary about UFOs several months ago.
The campaign neither disavowed Hillary’s comments nor suggested she was joking. Also, keep in mind that her comments were made on the weekend at a small-town newspaper, a prime time and location to test the waters on a new issue.
The main directive of any campaign manager is to stay on point. Promoting the campaign manager’s UFO opinions is not part of that prime directive. I find it hard to believe that the campaign hadn’t rehearsed this and probably a thousand other off-the-wall questions. She could easily have said she had no interest in the topic. If she wanted to be playful, why not joke about Donald Trump’s hair being the vestigial remains of his Sasquatch heritage?
Of course, maybe these were the gratuitous ravings of a politician trying to get the UFO community’s vote. But she didn’t just make one statement: She promised action. These tangible expressions and promises for the government to review the issue are steps that no governmental official, past or present, has been willing to even acknowledge, much less pursue.
In this author’s humble opinion, the evidence for the UFO phenomenon is so overwhelming that only the uninformed will be surprised by the reality of UFOs. (Check out the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure for a comprehensive background). What the phenomenon represents is another matter.
The political repercussions of UFO disclosure
Regardless of your view, the perplexing question remains: What could the Democratic frontrunner for the U.S. presidency gain by interjecting the issue of UFOs into her campaign?
The speculation starts with the assumption that UFOs are a real phenomenon that the government knows exists but is unwilling to admit. If we don’t assume at least that much, then I can’t really see any advantage for Hillary Clinton to mention the subject.
As a candidate who is not adored among her supporters nor trusted among the voters generally, what would be the advantage to mention the topic if she thought it were a dead end? It would seem to have only downsides and no upside; however, what if she felt she needed to swing for the fence with some truly game-changing information that could change the dynamic and the topic of the race?
There is no doubt changing the topic of her campaign would be helpful. Recently, she has faced questions about her health. She is facing an insurgent campaign from Bernie Sanders that has gained momentum. Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades have been forcefully reconstituted in the new book, The Clintons’ War on Women, and are systematicallyseeping into the campaign. Her role in the destruction of the credibility of Bill’s victims is a major part of the book and an awkward issue for the campaign. The never shy Donald Trump has not so gently fanned those flames.
The Clinton Foundation’s fundraising from foreign sources is still ripe for discussion. The Benghazi affair lingers. Finally, and probably most importantly, the classified email problem continues to fester and could result in an indictment, and an indictment in the middle of the campaign would be almost insurmountable.
All these issues undercut the image of Hillary as a champion of women and a competent, trustworthy leader. UFO disclosure is the one issue that could vaporize every one of her political liabilities and render Donald Trump and the seven dwarfs irrelevant.
The effects of a Disclosure President
Hillary would probably not be the Disclosure President; however, for Hillary to get the political benefit of disclosure, she only has to set off the chain reaction and watch as President Barack Obama makes the announcement. In this one stroke, Obama is made relevant and thrust back into a worldwide media storm — not the story of the year, but the story of all recorded human history. While President Obama might bask in the attention, he would have to answer some of the most difficult and delicate questions a president has ever been asked, thus clearing the way for the next president to continue the project of disclosure with very little political risk.
In the meantime, disclosure would suck all of the air out of the election, obliterating her political baggage. She would then become a champion of truth on the most important issue of all time. She would be instantly changed into the good government advocate that brought transparency to that good ol’ boy military-industrial complex, which had been sitting on this truth for its own purposes for at least 70 years. It would give her the power to move forward and control the debate on the issue.
It would also disconnect her from the systematic deception of the government. How would Americans react if the country had been denied the benefits of transformative technologies paid for by the citizens but hidden for decades? What if NASA had been building rockets while the government had space technology capable of traveling easily to planets and maybe the stars? By initiating the start of disclosure, Hillary Clinton would guarantee her role as the first woman president and the greatest whistleblower the world has ever seen.
Presidential candidates Cruz and Trump
One can imagine the confusion and consternation of the two leading Republicans with the change of topic. How could Trump recapture the limelight? His campaign against illegal “aliens” would take on a new meaning. He would no doubt brag that he had long known everything there is to know about UFOs. (In fact, he was trailed by a UFO at a recent campaign stop.) But he would be in the most uncomfortable position of having President Obama and Hillary Clinton leading the discussion with the real inside scoop.
Ted Cruz would have a different problem. Since his base is substantially made up of the evangelical right, the religious implications would pose a serious challenge to this group’s religious world views. Would they take the position that disclosure was an elaborate conspiracy? Not a preposterous idea. Would they express the revelation as demonic interference and mesh this notion into their end-times theology? A person with Cruz’s intellect, political smarts and obvious religious faith would have to very quickly come up with a convincing and unifying reaction.
Many Americans would sigh a bit of relief that the government had finally admitted what was obvious to them. The cultural conditioning that has been going on for the last 70 years would finally make sense to everyone.
If Hillary could pull off disclosure, she would likely guarantee her election; however, if she attempted it and failed, it would probably be the final nail in the coffin of her candidacy.
Either way, it would be the most interesting pre sidential campaign in American history.

Epic Gravitational Wave Detection: How Scientists Did It
Epic Gravitational Wave Detection: How Scientists Did It
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

To spot gravitational waves directly for the first time ever, scientists had to measure a distance change 1,000 times smaller than the width of a proton.
Researchers with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) announced today (Feb. 11) that they had made history's first direct detection of gravitational waves, enigmatic ripples in space-time whose existence was first predicted 100 years ago by Albert Einstein's famous theory of general relativity.
The gravitational waves were generated by the merger of two medium-size black holes about 1.3 billion years ago, researchers said. These waves raced through space at the speed of light and encountered Earth, where they were picked up by LIGO's two huge detectors as a brief signal on Sept. 14, 2015. [Gravitational Waves Detected by LIGO: Complete Coverage]
Supersensitive detectors
The LIGO detectors are in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington. Each one consists of a giant L-shaped structure with arms 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) long. A laser beam shines down each arm from the crux of the "L," and mirrors at the ends of these arms reflect the light back.
If the beams from both arms arrive back at the crux at the same time, they cancel each other out, and no signal is produced in the system's light detector. This is the normal, expected scenario. But if one of the beams arrives a bit late, a signal is produced, which could be evidence of a gravitational wave.
Gravitational waves, after all, distort the fabric of space-time. A wave that passes through a LIGO detector — and "passes through" is a fairly apt description, because gravitational waves do not interact meaningfully with matter — will lengthen space-time ever so slightly along one arm of the "L," and compress it along the other arm.
"Ever so slightly" does not fully capture just how minuscule this distance change is, however. The effect LIGO observed last September works out to a shift of a millionth of a millionth of a millionth of a meter — about one one-thousandth the diameter of a proton, project team members said.
To put this kind of sensitivity into yet more perspective, LIGO technology is theoretically capable of measuring the distance from the sun to the nearest star — Proxima Centauri, which lies about 4.25 light-years away — "to a level of about the width of a human hair," David Reitze of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), executive director of the LIGO Laboratory, said during a news conference today.
"LIGO is the most precise measuring device ever built," Reitze added.
Achieving this level of sensitivity isn't easy. For example, LIGO's laser beams travel down the detectors' arms in a near-perfect vacuum. And the system's light-reflecting mirrors hang from pendulums in a sophisticated quadruple-suspension setup, to isolate them from the everyday jiggling and jostling experienced on Earth's surface, LIGO team members said.
Furthermore, the groundbreaking detection wouldn't have been possible without a significant overhaul of the LIGO detectors, which first hunted for gravitational waves between 2002 and 2010. The project then took a five-year observing hiatus, as team members redesigned and upgraded the system's instruments to get a new "Advanced LIGO" up and running. [Study of Gravitational Waves Could Unravel Many Mysteries (Video)]
Advanced LIGO features a sensitivity 10 times that of the original incarnation, project representatives said. The new version began its first official observing campaign in September 2015 — a few days after the historic detection, which was actually made during an engineering test run.
The fact that Advanced LIGO made a detection so soon after getting to work suggests that the system will spot more gravitational waves in the near future, team members said.
"We ought to see some more over the coming year," said LIGO project co-founder Kip Thorne, also of Caltech.
Prof Stephen Hawking Celebrates Gravitational Wave Discovery
The Sept. 14 signal was spotted by both LIGO detectors, about 7 milliseconds apart. This double detection gave team members confidence that they had captured a real astrophysical event, rather than something produced by local environmental conditions.
But they still took great pains to rule out alternative explanations, scrutinizing a variety of detector data and the output of numerous on-site instruments that measure seismic activity, radio interference and many other possible sources of "noise" that could conceivably mimic a gravitational-wave signal, team members said.
"It took a long time to get this [result] out, and that's part of the reason," said LIGO project co-founder Rainer Weiss, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
The signal also closely matched that predicted by supercomputer models of black-hole mergers, said LIGO Scientific Collaboration spokeswoman Gabriela Gonzalez, a professor of physics and astronomy at Louisiana State University.
Details of the signal allowed the LIGO team to estimate the masses of the two merging black holes — 29 and 36 solar masses, respectively. The single black hole that resulted from this smashup contains just 62 times the mass of the sun.
"That's because there were three solar masses emitted in energy, in gravitational waves. That's a huge amount of energy," Gonzalez said. "And we can tell all of that from this tiny fraction of a second in the waveform."
Further details embedded in the signal revealed that the wave source lies about 1.3 billion light-years from Earth, she added. And the time delay between the signals recorded in Louisiana and Washington provided more information, allowing the LIGO team to triangulate that source's location to a degree.
"We can tell it came from the southern sky, in the rough direction of the Magellanic Cloud," Gonzalez said.
The LIGO collaboration will publish its results in an upcoming issue of the journal Physical Review Letters.
The LIGO project is operated by scientists at Caltech and MIT, and it's funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
Searching for Hollow Earth, Ufologists Find Underwater Skyscraper
Searching for Hollow Earth, Ufologists Find Underwater Skyscraper
Scientists, archaeologists and UFOlogists alike have been using the Google Earth software which proved to be very competent tool when it came to finding relics, unknown geological structures or even signs of extraterrestrial existence.
There have been countless theories and even tens of detailed descriptions of a place called the Hollow Earth, where an advanced civilization discretely makes its living, far away from the savage jungle of our society. The growing interest for this topic made UFOlogists begin an ample search for this legendary place using – you guessed it – Google Earth.
Searching based on symmetry, they divided the globe in 3 zones and zoomed in on a spot located exactly opposite to the great Giza Pyramids. This exact spot held nothing interesting, but widening the search area and zooming in even closer, the UFOlogists discovered a massive structure, measuring approximately one mile in height, on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Most people believe that this tower is not a natural formation, but rather an artificial one, simply because nothing similar has ever been discovered on our planet. For firm believers of the Hollow Earth theory, this was the final proof they needed, not only of its existence, but also the location or pathway. They geologically inspected the tower’s surroundings, and found something looking like a layer, a very large gap streching deeper than the ocean floor.
This so called layer is said to be similar, more or less, to what people who claim to have visited it depict. These people also said that the race inhabiting inner Earth doesn’t really hide there forever, but have chosen to come out very rarely, which probably means they do so in order to study us, and not for the resources (We didn’t believe that Earth was going to run out of resources soon anyway).
Hollow Earth theorists and UFO believers don’t normally agree. This case is a rare exception, and for completely different reasons. UFO researchers don’t really believe in the existence of another, slightly different or more advanced human race, but they have always accepted the possibility of inner Earth.
More than 95% of the world’s seas and oceans are entirely unexplored and most of the globe is covered in water, so mankind only knows very little about the planet it inhabits. What geological structures or life forms lay in the vast unknown areas might be beyond human comprehension. The possibilities are endless.
Also, people normally think of UFOs as pure aircraft or spacecraft. But if aliens could travel through space, then a UFO would have no problem submerging and navigating the oceans just like a submarine. UFOlogists now believe this tower to be part of a global network of such gigantic structures, used by ancient advanced civilizations (human, alien, or both) to transmit and receive large amounts of energy through great distances, or as some would say, from one side of the Earth to another.
Tesla also came up with a similar theory about transmitting the energy through air, proving it possible, but researchers who believe the ancient Egyptians, Mayans or Sumerians also possessed this technology are still not being taken seriously.
No country has yet to make an official statement on this discovery, which seems a bit odd, let alone send an exploration team (at least not officially). So here are the exact coordinates if you want to take a look for yourself. Let us know what you think.

Scientists Prove Einstein Was Right After Detecting Gravitational Waves
Scientists Prove Einstein Was Right After Detecting Gravitational Waves
The discovery may usher in a new era of astronomy and answer big questions about black holes.
ULLSTEIN BILD VIA GETTY IMAGES
Albert Einstein at his desk in Germany in 1929. It was years prior, in 1916, when he predicted the existence of gravitational waves as part of the theory of general relativity.
Albert Einstein was right! He hypothesized a century ago that gravitational waves exist, and rumors have been swirling for months that scientists have detected them. Those rumors were confirmed in a press conference on Thursday.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have detected gravitational waves," Dr. David Reitze, executive director of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), said during the conference. "We did it."
His announcement was followed by a round of applause by scientists and journalists gathered at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., for the "status report" from researchers involved in the long quest to detect the waves.
Gravitational waves have been likened to ripples in space-time that flow outward at the speed of light when black holes or other massive celestial objects collide.
Reitze said that the detected waves were found on Sept. 14 and were produced during the merger of two black holes that became a single, more massive black hole. (Watch the video above, and a computer simulation of the colliding black holes below.)
"Our observation of gravitational waves accomplishes an ambitious goal set out over five decades ago to directly detect this elusive phenomenon and better understand the universe, and, fittingly, fulfills Einstein's legacy on the 100th anniversary of his general theory of relativity," Reitze said in a statement.
Before the discovery was confirmed, Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist and professor at Arizona State University, told The Huffington Post that detecting these waves would be a "huge milestone."
"It opens a new window on the universe," he said. "Gravitational wave astronomy could be the astronomy of the 21st Century. More than that, it may reveal important information on the nature of gravity, black holes, and fundamental physics."
"Every time we have opened a new window in the past, we have been surprised," he continued. "I would be surprised if we weren't surprised again."
CLAUDIO GIOVANNINI VIA GETTY IMAGESA 3-kilometers-long arm part of the Virgo detector at the European Gravitational Observatory used for the study of gravitational waves in collaboration with LIGO.
Clifford Burgess, a theoretical physicist at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, offered a similar assessment ahead of the press conference.
"If this is true, then you have 90 percent odds that it will win the Nobel Prize in Physics this year. It's off-the-scale huge," Burgess told Science magazine last week.
The discovery was a collaboration between the California Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and LIGO, which is a pair of kilometers-long laser devices designed to detect gravitational waves.
The devices -- there is one in Livingston, Louisiana, and one in Hanford, Washington -- have been operating on and off for more than a decade.
Reports of strange things in rover photos never seem to cease, but its always the public that reports them. Here Streetcap1 of Youtube caught an object not to far in the distance that is moving from right to left of the screen. The is a faded trail behind it...a distortion of sorts which tells us the direction it came from. It looks like the spacecraft in the distance is watching the Opportunity rover. Observing it. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
The origins of the Majestic 12 documents has its roots in a complicated set of events that included disinformation, hoaxes, and lies. For this reason, most of this history has been lost or is glossed over. However, the true origins of the documents and how UFO researchers came to know the term Majestic 12, is important when assessing their legitimacy. We have taken months to investigate this story, which has included working with the public relations department of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations. While our investigation is ongoing, in this video we share with you what we have found thus far.
The Hidden Hand is an award winning film that talks about many controversial matters such as alien abduction, the probability of human and alien hybrids, the reverse engineering of alien technology, and the big cover-up that the government is presently doing to seize the truth about UFOs and ETs from coming out which is something that the government has done very well for more than 60 years since the first ever known UFO sighting in the planet.Alien abduction is one of the contentious documentaries that the film talks about. This issue is so delicate that it is the last occasion that anyone would wish to be in as it is the worst thing that can ever happen in an encounter with the unknown.
Medicine as a science requires so many laboratory experiments with animals like pigs and chimps to do medicine test is a very difficult thing to understand. But what if the human explorers will now be the one to be studied upon inside the laboratory? Will that be difficult to understand too?
Humans are the most intelligent life that mostly dominates all the species here on earth but the visitation of a more intelligent alien species from another planet to experiment on our genetics similar to the way we experiment on other species is a very eerie topic.
The Hidden Hand aspires to make the public become aware of what is happening to abducted individuals. How the incident impacted their lives and how they have survived their journey with the unknown entities.
The Secret Program Full Documentary features in-depth discussions of the secret space program, particularly its real identity, people responsible of its formation, and the reasons behind its development. It answers questions that have long been around, such as the truth about the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, their advanced technology, and the people who have knowledge about it. It further explores why the truth has been kept secret from the public.
The documentary also features interviews with the Secret Space Program conference’s attendees in Amsterdam. They share their own stories or experiences about UFO sightings. There are also random street interviews of people in Amsterdam where locals share their thoughts about aliens, alien abductions, and alien contacts.
It is believed that a secret space fleet code known as “Solar Warden” has been in secret operation since around 1980, unknown to the public knowledge. The documentary makes you decide if this subject is nonsense, or conspiracy has been going on, or perhaps it is very sensitive that may cause confusion and commotion across the globe.
UFO Congress EBE Award Winner – Best Documentary & Peoples Choice Award. Now featuring one of the best documentaries ever produced on the question of an Extraterrestrial connection to the Crop Circle phenomena. Recommended viewing from start to finish.
This film explores the history of our modern technological age, advances in science, the question of UFOs, and how our world governments have controlled the flow of information to the public regarding the truth about UFOs. Nikola Tesla, Free Energy and Antigravity are also investigated. Includes a fantastic collection of interviews from top scientists and researchers from around the world and incredible photos and video of UFOs in flight.
Perhaps it was the full moon, or maybe the return of the X-Files to the province has upped B.C.'s sense of the paranormal, but whatever the reason, something spooked the residents of Nanaimo on Wednesday night.
Numerous concerned citizens called the RCMP with reports of strange, bright lights floating in the sky over Dover Road in the city. So many, in fact, the police decided there was reason to investigate.
But alas, our friends from galaxies far, far away had not picked the plucky Vancouver Island city to make contact.
Just as they hadn't in January, nor December, nor countless other instances of apparent extra-terrestrial activity reported in Nanaimo over the past few years.
The truth, sadly, is far more mundane: the lights were connected to a box kite that a local man was flying in the wee hours of the morning.
"Normally this would not be odd behaviour, but at 1.30 in the morning it seemed out of place," Cpl. Jon Stuart said in a statement.
"This kite had been flying extremely high (possibly around 10,000 feet), when the line broke, and he lost the kite."
After pointing out the potential dangers posed to aircraft by a kite flying at altitude, the police do not plan on taking the matter further.
This is not the first time a Nanaimo flying saucer has been proven to be a kite.
Police didn't name Wednesday's perpetrator of mass panic, but in the past, local enthusiast Neil Parman has been found to be at the end of the tether.
Just last year, a group of intrepid ghostbusters headed out to track down the source of an eerie November glow, careening bravely around Nanaimo, recording their efforts and posting them to YouTube.
What they found was Parman.
"This is why I say I'm pretty fly for a white guy," Parman says on the video, laughing.
He also explains that the LED lights are connected to the line, so he can see how much lift he's getting on the kite.
Despite having been interviewed about his nocturnal aeronautical activities on local television two years before, Parman says people still show up in significant numbers to find out what's going on.
"I'm surprised this many people track me down."
He says he's trying to break the world record for flying kites,and he'd eventually like to do that for charity.

Filer’s Fles #7 2016 Astronaut Mitchell Passed ON - PART I
Craft taken over Garbno, Poland by Bogden Geski
Filer’s Fles #7 2016 Astronaut Mitchell Passed ON - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Astronaut Edgar Mitchell Has Died, NASA Apollo 17 Film Shows Triangle, Pilot and Crew Witness Alien Craft over the Atlantic
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Bolivia, Canada, North Korea, Norway, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell Has Passed On
Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who became the sixth man on the moon when he and Alan Shepard flew in Apollo 13, has died. He was 85.
Edgar Dean Mitchell was born Sept. 17, 1930, in Hereford, Texas, and grew up working on his father’s cattle ranch in New Mexico. He joined the Navy and got a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining NASA. Mitchell died February 5, 2016, at a West Palm Beach hospice after a short illness, coinciding with the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 14 mission, which ran from Jan. 31-Feb. 9, 1971.
He joined NASA in 1966 and helped design and tests the lunar modules that first reached the moon in 1969 with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Their mission, the third lunar landing had its share of glitches. Shepard and Mitchell almost didn’t make it to the surface because of problems in the lunar module. They landed in a hilly region while Roosa orbited overhead. Once they started for the surface, several problems occurred with a faulty switch and the landing radar was not working correctly. Shepard and Mitchell took the dangerous and rule-breaking step of landing without radar. Fortunately, the radar started working just prior to landing. They collected about 95 pounds of samples in nine hours walking the lunar surface. They showed that astronauts walked nearly two miles on their second expedition onthe surface.
Their mission was popular because Shepard became the first and only golfer on the moon, while Mitchell watched from the rover Mitchell tossed a metal rod making the only “javelin” throws on the moon. Shepard later wrote that Mitchell remained “Mr. Unflappable” during the landing scare”.
Mitchell conducted a telepathy experiment he claimed a success on the three day ride home that would give Mitchell notoriety. He thought humans weren’t the only intelligent life in the universe. Mitchell wrote in his 1996 autobiography. “It occurred to me that the molecules of my body and the molecules of the spacecraft itself were manufactured long ago in the furnace of one of the ancient stars that burned in the heavens about me.”
He left NASA in 1972 and founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences, which is dedicated to exploring the mysteries of the human mind and the universe. Later he devoted his life to exploring the mind, physics and unexplained phenomena.
During a Television program with the Disclosure Project at the National Press Club, I was introduced by Astronaut Edgar Mitchell who told the audience to listen to what I had to say about UFOs. After the show, we were alone talking and Mitchell told me, “I signed a NASA strict security contract that I had seen no evidence of aliens; therefore I didn’t see any evidence of aliens on the moon, but all my astronaut friends had”. I asked what was the UFO situation all about? He told me, “The answer is in the Dead Sea Scrolls. I suggested the War Scroll of the war between the Son’s of Light and the Son’s of Darkness. He smiled and said, “That’s the one”.
He told me many of those involved in the Roswell UFO crash came to him because lived nearby, and he was one of twelve men who walked on the moon. They all told him the alien crash at Roswell was real. He stated, “I have met with credible professionals within two governments who have testified to their own firsthand experiences with close encounters. They include members of military, intelligence, and government whose official duties involved the extraterrestrial presence. As is expected, they were all bound by strict security oath agreements which prevented them from disclosing any of this.” He claimed the U.S. government covered up evidence that aliens had landed here and even most generals, admirals and even presidents were not privy to the information. Mitchell courageously spoke out for the Disclosure of the truth and I consider it a pleasure to have known him.
He may now learn the secrets of eternal life and the universe. He walked on the moon and now will explore heaven.
If you stopped a few people randomly in the street and asked them about UFOs, you’d probably find that some of them had heard about Roswell (and maybe Rendlesham Forest), but that would probably be the extent of their knowledge. With the public, there’s often a (mis)perception that the UFO mystery is a peculiarly American phenomenon. Within the UFO community there’s a better awareness of the true situation, but despite acknowledgement that there’s a lot of activity in countries such as Mexico and Brazil, there’s still a US-centric (and to a lesser extent a UK-centric) bias. Part of this is attributable to the language problem, but there’s a wider cultural bias issue here too. Which brings us neatly to Piotr Cielebiaś and his thought-provoking book “UFOs over Poland”?
In 2013-14 Polish UFO researchers received numerous reports about unidentified aerial devices in form of triangles and boomerangs. Being silent, often camouflaged and active only at night usually near large military installations. That arise question whether we deal with something of human origin, connected with civil war on Ukraine or the new face of UFO phenomenon.
The book certainly ‘does what it says on the tin’, but it’s the subtitle, “The Land of High Strangeness”, that’s really telling, because high strangeness is exactly what we get. This is a real researcher’s book, and a very honest one: instead of highlighting only those cases that fit the author’s beliefs, Piotr dumps a whole bunch of raw data into the public domain as if to say “Here you go, try to make sense of this lot”. Some cases are clearly ‘pure’ UFO incidents, but others are more paranormal in flavour. This book is a wake-up call, because it eloquently demonstrates that the UFO phenomenon is richer, more complex, more diverse, and much more difficult to define than such narrow-minded thinkers seem to understand.

Piotr’s meticulously-researched, well-written and hugely entertaining book is a timely reminder that the UFO phenomenon is global. However, it’s only due to the diligence of authors such as Piotr and the tenacity of publishers such as Philip Mantle that we get to hear about some of the more fascinating UFO-related material that exists outside of ufology’s mainstream.

Phoenix Lights Cockpit Footage
Phoenix— Classified military footage of the Phoenix Lights UFO phenomenon has recently been leaked by a former U.S Air Force aviator. The footage reportedly captures never-before-seen cockpit footage of Lockheed-Martin F-16 and Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II fighter jets in action the night of the original incident 17 years ago on March 13, 1997. 56th Fighter Wing Public Affairs at Luke has received numerous inquiries and requests, but has remained silent on the footage. The report claims additional footage of multiple civilian casualties has been obtained.
The Phoenix lights incident is one of the largest UFO sightings in North America. Thousands of Arizona residents became alarmed when they noticed a sizable object in the sky above Phoenix 19 years ago. Multiple eyewitnesses reported a diamond-shaped craft hovering above the city for at least a couple of hours. Nineteen years later, questions about the Phoenix Lights are still being asked. Arizona residents still remember the phenomenon and the new footage has stirred more tension around the 19-year-old event. The lights have been the subject of intense scrutiny, government denials and internet documentaries. This never-before-seen video of an engagement during the Phoenix Lights was leaked online this weekend, by KWBTV News Journalist David Collins. The FLIR [night scope] video purportedly depicts military and unknown craft on the night of the mass sighting over Phoenix in 1997. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJWebsite.

Letters from Readers
Bill Sell writes, “Frank Edwards has some remarkable evidence recorded in his book Flying Saucers Serious Business and this book should be a mandatory reading for any true Ufologist. I believe Stanton Friedman and Frank Edwards knew each other quite well back then. The US Government classified this subject two points above the Hydrogen Bomb according to Wilbert Smith”.
According to statement made by former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Great Britain,You have to know the whole story, and never tell the public. There is only one answer here; Fear of a Panic. These craft are 300 years ahead of us in technology; we are I believe playing a game of catch-up at Area 51 and Nellis AFB and this has been going on since 1947. Truman knew and so did MJ-12 with General McArthur.
Brett Allen writes, “I just wanted to say I am aware that you did not go all the way giving away the ending of my book on Hanger 1 TV Show “For some reason they (UFOs) seem to have an affinity where there is loss of life.” If you did this intentionally, I certainly appreciate it… although it was certainly a lot to ask of anyone. I just Googled “top states for UFO sightings” and 8 were the scene of Civil War death, one-the top in population, i.e.: deaths, and the other, Gold. Of course, top countries are in the war-torn Middle East.”
It amazes me so many “researchers” continue to miss the big picture, but then academia ignores the existence of our soul and so, what we are told in our most precious ancient texts, is also ignored. So many today also offer opinions like “the Bible is all nonsense”, not even aware that so much of it has been proven archaeologically. Sad so many of our top researchers do not see the connection between our most precious texts with Ufology…
Even the fact that (Wild Men, i.e.: Sasquatch) were included on Cathedral walls for a good reason… they knew them to be heavenly beings! But little by little, the truth is breaking through. Had you heard of last year’s Bigfoot revelation by top Bigfoot researchers who swore they watched a portal open up just like on the Skinwalker Ranch) during a Sasquatch investigation. They swore they could with a flashlight see another world inside.
Chewbacca of Star Wars movie fame looks a lot like Bigfoot.
The Native Americans have long used the same words to describe Sasquatch as Genesis uses to describe Nephilim – part man, part animal, part spirit – beings made by the “fallen” or descended Angels. They have long recounted these creatures as “spirit beings” even connected with the “noseless ones”, and often accompanied by light anomalies. Your friend Brett Allen
Zimbabwe South African Ancient Ruins
No other structure in the world has raised so many important speculations as the ruins on a granite hill in Zimbabwe. Big walls are mostly 10 meters high and up to 7 meters wide at the base. There are two distinct compounds. One of them is an elliptic structure approximately one hundred meters long; the other compound is an acropolis. To build the structure, around 15,000 tons of granite stones 6 – 15 centimeters thick were needed, which were laid on each other with a great precision without using mortar.
A great mystery is the “conic tower,” a nearly 10 meters high broad- top cone with a based diameter of 5 meters. The performance of the builders and the precision with which the stones were bound are fascinating. The compound in Zimbabwe was built in a period when it was already known that a menhir does not have to be a monolith. The broad-top cone is thus clearly a menhir. The great weight of the walls suggests that they may have been used to accumulate energy. The whole area seems to be an energy compound that was built at a place with a strong concentration of energy. However, this may have changed; water flows, to which the whole compound was oriented, may have changed their basins, and the energy components can be somewhere else. Most likely, the ruins are Phoenician as the walls are similar in design. The nearby gold mines were the ones discussed in the Bible bringing gold to Solomon. 1 Kings 10 8 states, “Hiram’s ships brought gold from Ophir; and from there they brought great cargoes of almugwood and precious stones”. King Hiram was the Phoeneician King whose Navy sailed around Africa.
Menhirs were built in great numbers on four continents. This could not have been a coincidence; so people must have communicated with each other. It is possible ships roamed the world in ancient times.
The epic of Mahabharata, of India the most extensive work of world literature (400 BC) depicts with awe a terrible weapon carried by Vimanas (UFOs) able to kill all warriors who had metal on their bodies. “When they learn well in advance that the weapon is to be used, they tear every metal part from their bodies, jump in the river, and wash thoroughly. Ancient radio or UFOs provided contact between the four continents.
Another archeological mystery is the method how people of megalithic culture extracted, processed, and transported stone monoliths weighing up to 2,000 tons. Many of the structures are circular or cylinder as are most UFOs. The ancient times provide amazing structures that we only guess how they were constructed leaving a lot of questions for us to answer.
Washington Redskins Finally Drop Name
Richard Anderson announces that the Redskins NFL Football Team finally drops name
Daniel Snyder, owner of the NFL Redskins, has announced that the team is dropping “Washington” from the team name, and it will henceforth be simply known as “The Redskins”.
It was reported that he finds the word ‘Washington’ imparts a negative image of poor leadership, mismanagement, corruption, cheating, lying, and graft, and is not a fitting role-model for young fans of football.
