Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    Is This a Huge Million-Year-Old, Man-Made Underground Complex?

    In Beyond Science, Epoch Times explores research and accounts related to phenomena and theories that challenge our current knowledge. We delve into ideas that stimulate the imagination and open up new possibilities. Share your thoughts with us on these sometimes controversial topics in the comments section below.

    Most archaeologists and historians agree that human civilization only emerged some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Yet many researchers have drawn attention to artifacts and various other evidence of advanced civilizations long before this, even millions of years earlier.

    Among them is Dr. Alexander Koltypin, a geologist and director of the Natural Science Research Center at Moscow’s International Independent University of Ecology and Politology.

    Koltypin has analyzed ancient underground structures across the Mediterranean and identified similarities that lead him to believe the sites were once connected. Furthermore, the weathering of the structures, their material composition, and the geological features and historic changes in the region, lead him to believe they were built by an advanced civilization hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago.

    Archaeologists working in the region usually date the sites by looking at the settlements located on them or nearby. But these settlements were simply built upon existing prehistoric structures, Koltypin said.

    “When we examined the constructions … none of us never for a moment had a doubt that they are much older than the ruins of the Canaanite, Philistine, Hebraic, Roman, Byzantine, and other cities and settlements that are placed on it and around,” he wrote on his website.

    He climbed a hill about 1,300 feet high near the Hurvat Burgin ruins in Adullam Grove Nature Reserve, central Israel. As he looked over the site, he recalled a similar feeling from when he had climbed to the top of the rock city Cavusin in Turkey.

    “I was personally convinced once again … that all these rectangular indentations, man-made underground structures, and scattered debris of megaliths were one underground-terrestrial megalithic complex which was opened by erosion to a depth of several hundred meters.”

    Erosion and Mountain-Formation

    Not all parts of the purported complex are still underground. Some have come far above ground with geological shifts throughout history—the ancient rocky towns of Cappadocia in Turkey, for example, which Koltypin includes in the complex.

    Some parts may also be found under the Mediterranean Sea, as is indicated by structures along the coast.

    In central and northern Israel and central Turkey, Koltypin estimates the sites were exposed after an erosive cut into the Earth of several hundred meters (more than 1,000 feet).

    “According to my estimates, such depth of erosion … hardly could be formed in less time than 500,000 to 1 million years,” he wrote.

    He hypothesizes that part of the complex was brought to the surface as a result of alpine orogeny (mountain-formation).

    The composition of building materials at a site in Antalya, Turkey, which Koltypin calls the “Jernokleev site,” are also some 500,000 to 1 million years old by his estimate.

    Archaeologists usually date the man-made structures at Jernokleev to the Middle Ages. But, Koltypin says the materials indicate a much older age.

    Such depth of erosion … hardly could be formed in less time than 500,000 to 1 million years.
    Dr. Alexander Koltypin, International Independent University of Ecology and Politology

    What he identifies as a pink “cement” includes in it man-made ceramic fragments and basalts of volcanic origin among other materials. The last time an active volcano would have been present in the region to provide the basalts would have been some 500,000 to 1 million years ago.

    Underwater

    As a result of the Earth’s crust moving over distant ages, parts of the underground complex have been plunged under sea level, Koltypin said.

    Practically in all the studied underground constructions of Israel and in the majority of underground constructions of Turkey, sediments of lithified (hard) and calcareous clay deposits are widely developed on their floor,” he wrote. The nature of the deposits suggest the complex was underwater for a long time.

    Similar Megaliths and Underground Entrances

    The similar megalithic ruins at the various sites are part of what led Koltypin to surmise a connection between the sites, united in a giant prehistoric complex.

    Megalithic blocks weighing tens of tons seem to have at some point likely been attached directly to the underground constructions, he said. “This circumstance gave me a reason to call the underground structures and geographically related ruins of cyclopean walls and buildings as a single underground-terrestrial megalithic complex.”

    The megalithic constructions seem to surpass the technological capabilities of the civilizations conventionally thought to have built them, Koltypin said. For example, it remains a mystery how the 800-ton megaliths in Baalbek, Lebanon, were transported from a quarry to their present location.

    The stones fit together perfectly in some parts without cement, and the ceilings, columns, arches, gates, and other elements seem beyond the work of men with chisels, Koltypin said. The chisel marks usually said to show they were built in more recent times occur only in some parts of the structures and seem to have been etched there long after the original structures were built, he said.

    He noted that structures built on or near the sites by the Romans or other civilizations are comparatively primitive.

    It is within a context of other findings suggesting advanced prehistoric civilizations that Koltypin puts forth his hypothesis.

    For example, he has studied ancient ruts that crisscross the Phrygian Valley of Turkey and inferred that they are tracks of “unknown antediluvian all-terrain vehicles” petrified in the stone from millions of years ago. 

    Traditional legends often dismissed as myth also tell of prehistoric civilizations in the region.

    Is dit door mensen gemaakte ondergrondse complex een miljoen jaar oud?

    Is dit door mensen gemaakte ondergrondse complex een miljoen jaar oud?

    De meeste archeologen en historici zijn het erover eens dat de menselijke beschaving zo’n 10.000 tot 12.000 jaar geleden is ontstaan. Toch zijn er ook veel onderzoekers die bewijs menen te hebben gevonden van hoogontwikkelde beschavingen die mogelijk miljoenen jaren oud zijn.

    Eén van hen is dr. Alexander Koltypin, een geoloog van de Internationale Onafhankelijke Ecologisch-Politicologische Universiteit in Moskou. Hij heeft ondergrondse structuren in het Middellandse Zeegebied bestudeerd en is tot de conclusie gekomen dat de vindplaatsen ooit met elkaar verbonden waren en een reusachtig megalithisch complex vormden.

    Hij is van mening dat de bouwwerken honderdduizenden of zelfs miljoenen jaren geleden zijn gemaakt door een hoogontwikkelde beschaving. Koltypin legt uit dat de nederzettingen die hij heeft bestudeerd gebouwd zijn op bestaande prehistorische structuren.

    Vulkaan

    Het ondergrondse complex bestaat volgens hem onder meer uit de nederzettingen rond Cappadocië in Turkije, terwijl andere delen in de Middellandse Zee verborgen liggen. In Israël zijn een aantal van de vindplaatsen blootgelegd als gevolg van erosie, aldus Koltypin.

    Hij heeft bouwmaterialen die in Israël en het Turkse Antalya zijn gevonden gedateerd op 500.000 tot één miljoen jaar oud. Hij trof onder meer roze ‘cement’ aan, dat keramiek en basalt, een vulkanisch stollingsgesteente, bevat. De laatste keer dat een vulkaan actief was in het gebied, was tussen de 500.000 en één miljoen jaar geleden.

    Legendes

    Het is volgens Koltypin vrijwel onmogelijk dat de megalithische bouwwerken zijn gebouwd door de beschavingen die in de middeleeuwen leefden. Het is bijvoorbeeld onduidelijk hoe de 800 ton zware megalieten in het Libanese Baalbek van de steengroeve naar hun huidige locatie zijn getransporteerd.

    De reusachtige stenen passen perfect in elkaar en lijken niet te zijn neergezet door mannen met beitels, aldus Koltypin. Legendes die vaak worden afgedaan als mythes, spreken ook van prehistorische hoogontwikkelde beschavingen in het gebied.

    Colorful amusement ride

    UFOs and Halfhearted Media Coverage

    A few nights ago I was interviewed on Richard Hoagland’s radio show and we spent a lot of time discussing one of my recent articles here at Mysterious Universe. It was the one on UFO Disclosure, the complete and utter naivety of those who support it, and my “seen it all before” comments. It was this article that led us into another, somewhat related, topic. Namely, how come the media – given its attention to breaking and/or understanding Watergate, Iran-Contra, the WMD situation, and the Edward Snowden affair – has never been able to blow the lid off the UFO secrecy and secure the disclosure so many seek and hope for?

    The skeptics and debunkers would say – and they have said – that this glaring issue of the world’s leading journalists not having cracked something like Roswell, is because nothing of an extraordinary nature occurred back in the summer of 1947. That’s not true. And the outrageous thing is that those same skeptics and debunkers know exactlywhy the mainstream, influential press has not solved Roswell. They prefer, however, to spin and weave as they see fit.

    2-roswell-alien-detlev-van-ravenswaay

    The answer as to why the media hasn’t resolved something like Roswell is extremely simple and has nothing to do with a lack of potential data to be found. To put it bluntly, the media has never solved Roswell because it has never gone after Roswell (or any other major case of a UFO nature) in the same way, and on the same scale, that it has with the “Big Four” above: Snowden, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and the Weapons of Mass Destruction.

    Yes, there’s no doubt that the media – of numerous nations – has extensively covered the UFO controversy, and has done so since 1947. The number of articles written by the press, since the 1940s, must surely be well into the thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. But, the typical type of UFO story that the media generally provides its readers/viewers with is not on a par with what one would expect to see on the four above. Some might say the subject is not worthy of such similar coverage. I would suggest otherwise.

    President Richard M. Nixon

    President Richard M. Nixon

    There may be those reading this article who take the view that when it comes to UFOs, “the government is silencing the journalists.” Really? Well, “the government” didn’t stop the press from breaking one of the biggest stories of the 20th century: the Watergate affair, which led to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon. Nor was the press stopped from revealing the fact that there is a massive NSA-controlled data-collection program focused on the online activity and phone calls of US citizens. The persistence of the press meant that the facts came out – even if there were those who wished it didn’t.

    The very same might happen for Roswell – in theory. An aggressive, lengthy, and wide-reaching study of Roswell by one of the world’s leading news outlets could well do for Ufology what it did for the “Big Four.” That’s to say, extract the genie from the bottle. And regardless of whether the genie wants out or not. But the media hasn’t done that with UFOs and Roswell. And it won’t. Here’s why.

    As I pointed out on the Hoagland show, being able to show people you are the person who broke something like the Watergate story, or the Snowden case (etc., etc.) is something that many journalists would give their right arm to achieve. Developing a reputation for being the journalist who chases after little green men has far less appeal for those who want to climb the journalistic ladder. But, if they would only develop a pair of balls, care less about reputations, and actually spend major time (and I do meanmajor time) on Roswell, they might just find – to their amazement – that there really is something there.

When, in the late 1980s, Lazar came forward with his claim to have briefly worked at a Nevada-based facility called S-4 (at which, he also claimed, recovered alien spacecraft were stored), it made many heads turn within Ufology. It also made George Knapp’s head turn. Knapp, to his lasting credit, and as a respected journalist, dug deeply into the Lazar controversy. But he was one of barely a handful.

    If Lazar’s story is nothing but a hoax, then it’s of no consequence and we should move on. And, yes, some have done that. On the other hand, if the story is true, then Lazar is a whistle-blower on the scale of Edward Snowden. Maybe even a bigger scale. Can you imagine what the outcome might have been had the world’s media gone after Lazar in the late-1980s in the fashion they did with Snowden? Okay, maybe Lazar’s claims would have been shown to have no merit. On the other hand, it could have resulted in the startling revelation that Uncle Sam has a fine collection of shiny UFOs and a motley collection of dead, pickled aliens. No surprises: it didn’t happen.

    Certainly, the media commented on Lazar’s claims on more than a few occasions. But, a new Woodward and Bernstein, with major media backing and funding, to pursue the Lazar story as far as it could conceivably go, and for months or even years? Nope, no such new team was anywhere in sight. It still isn’t. But it is/was when it comes to the likes of Watergate, Snowden and so on.

    On the matter of UFOs, the mainstream media is very good about entertaining us, vaguely intriguing us, making slightly fun-poking comments about Ufology (granted, some of which are deserved; even I have to admit that much), and preparing a couple of columns of text to be placed at the foot of page five. On the other hand, however, that same media is downright hopeless, impotent, and lacking in vision when it comes to getting behind the UFO subject and to a degree that history just might be made in the process.

    Ufo in dark sky

    “Close Encounters in Afghanistan

    Long before Afghanistan became associated with the “War on Terror,” strange and mysterious things were going on in the skies of the country. And, to the extent that the U.S. Department of State got interested in the matter. We’re talking about UFOs. We’re also talking about files on the matter which have been declassified under Freedom of Information legislation. On February 4, 1981, a Mr. Archard – reporting to the American Embassy in Aslamabad, Pakistan – prepared a document titled “Close Encounters in Afghanistan.” It’s a document that has a distinct UFO theme to it, but which also addresses the matter of the “UFOs” being secret devices/technologies of the former Soviet Union. Whatever the truth, it all began in 1980 and continued to concern U.S. authorities into 1981.

    Archard wrote: “I am convinced that there is substance in the many travelers’ reports from Afghanistan that the Red Army is using a type of very powerful, high intensity light there. The light may be used in connection with perimeter defense and/or road security. We have heard and reported accounts of this phenomenon since September, primarily from journalists and adventurers. These have described strange lights illuminating large portions – typically as much as or more than one quarter – of the Afghan sky. The locations of the sightings reported to us have been Ghazni (August 1980), Nuristan (Sept. 1980) and Khost (Jan., 1981).”

    The Department of State documentation continues with the following: “Accounts have in common the brightness of the lights, the distances from which they are discernible, and the size of the areas they appear to illuminate (more – perhaps much more – than 5 miles in diameter). Accounts differ in that some speak of narrow beams which are compared with laser or search lights, as a part of the phenomenon. Most, though, speak of more diffused illumination. Accounts differ as to whether lights slowly wax and wane, or reach maximum intensity and turn off instantly.”

    Archard took keen notice of this strange state of affairs: “I had been skeptical about the stories, which have a UFO cast, until NBC producer Joe DeCola returned from Paktia last month. I have gotten to know DeCola well and consider him an accurate, careful observer. While he was passing near Khost (Matun) about Jan. 1, DeCola and his crew ‘saw the light.’ At the time, they were about 12 miles south of the Khost Garrison. When they became aware of it, the light seemed to be at full intensity.”

    Archard added that the first impression of both DeCola and his team was that “…it was borne by a helicopter which was searching for them. It did not move, however, nor was any aircraft (or other) motor noise discernible. They left the area as quickly as possible but were sure that the light remained visible and stationary for at least 20 minutes. DeCola’s impression was that the light was generated from an airborne source at an altitude of some hundreds of feet. Because it did not move, and there was no motor noise, he thinks it may have been suspended from a balloon. Like other witnesses, he reports being unnerved by the intensity and magnitude of the lights and wonders if it is intended primarily to frighten potential attackers.”

    Archard asked DeCola if he – DeCola – thought it possible that the light could have come from “…something like the hand-held magnesium flares such as are used by the U.S. Army. He was quite sure not, as there was no movement and the duration was much too long. As for mortar-launched flares, there was no explosion and again no drift.”

    UFO

    Moving on from the sighting of Joe DeCola, Archard had the following to say from early February 1981: “Another more specific story came Feb. 3 from Frenchman Dominique Vargas based on a sighting near Asadabad, Kunar, in September. Vargas, a professional photographer who seems to have some science as well as military background, claims the light he saw was ‘colder and whiter’ than that from a tungsten source ‘which would burn at 3,500 degrees Kelvin.’ At first sighting, the light illuminated a minimum diameter of 5 to 10 kilometers, in what he described as a perfect and clearly outlined hemispherical shape. The period of illumination was about 15 minutes, with the period of greatest intensity beginning instantly and lasting for two or three minutes. Subsequently, the size of the illuminated hemisphere expanded dramatically, while the intensity of the light within it diminished gradually to nothing. Vargas thought the light source was not airborne, as this would have produced a more than hemispherical shape. As with DeCola, Vargas heard no noises associated with the light.”

    Archard signed off with the following: “Interestingly, a night light phenomenon overIslamabad’s Margala Hills was seen by diplomats and others a few months ago and reported in the press. We think this was probably of the moving light, classic UFO school, and not related to the Afghan sightings.”

    Genuine UFOs? Some kind of secret weapon or device of the Soviets? Whatever the answer, it’s not to be found in the files of the Department of State. The entire matter remained unexplained.

    Eyes Only: How the CIA Kept Tabs on a Civilian UFO Research Group

    As most of us know by now, the CIA has indeed kept tabs on the UFO problem in the past, particularly during the 1950s and 60s. This is common knowledge for most these days, particularly thanks to the PR staff at the CIA, and what might be viewed as a “cooperative promotional effort” on their part in advance of the recent X-Files reboot. Namely, the CIA featured a number of their previously declassified UFO files on a page at their website, leading many media outlets to proclaim that the the CIA had “just released its UFO files.”

    Not so fast. The files in question had actually been released back in 1978, as their website states. “The CIA declassified hundreds of documents in 1978 detailing the Agency’s investigations into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs),” the statement reads. “The documents date primarily from the late 1940s and 1950s.” That, of course, didn’t keep the press from jumping and running with a host of cheerfully misleading headlines about the sudden release of the CIA’s “real X-Files”.

    Many historians would actually assert that the closest thing to “real” X-Files would actually have been the US Air Force’s Project Blue Book, which oversaw the official collection of UFO reports by government until 1968. Despite being a “legitimate” government UFO study, Blue Book left a lot to be desired, resulting in dissatisfaction from many involved, including the project’s former science advisor, J. Allen Hynek. In fact, Hynek’s dissatisfaction with Blue Book’s handling of UFO reports led him to believe that some other organization may have been receiving and studying a number of UFO reports, altogether bypassing the Air Force and its operations. There were many times during my twenty years as a scientific consultant to Blue Book,” Hynek wrote in 1977, “that I also wondered whether the very best reports were being kept from Blue Book.

    In likelihood, there were a number of different agencies that were keeping tabs on the UFO subject, and as we have already established, the CIA had indeed been one. More specifically, the CIA’s Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) and its Office of Current Intelligence (OCI) became the departments that oversaw the CIA’s secret UFO inquiry. At the urging of Weapons and Equipment Division head Edward Tauss, the CIA’s UFO study group was advised to keep its interest in UFOs under wraps, “in view of [the public’s] probable alarmist tendencies.” In other words, it was believed that the CIA’s role in UFO research, if made public, might result in legitimization of the phenomenon, and thus actually encourage belief in it.

    Former CIA Chief Historian Gerald K. Haines covered this period in his essay, “CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90: A Die-Hard Issue” (the article can be read at the CIA’s website). Haines noted that the CIA’s initial report on UFOs prompted Robert Amory, Jr, then Deputy Director for Intelligence, to appoint further UFO studies to the OSI’s Physics and Electronics Division, with A. Ray Gordon in charge during this period. Among the aims and objectives of the CIA’s UFO studies during this time, it was hoped that the relevant OSI divisions could, “coordinate the intelligence effort required to solve the problem.” Haines further notes that, “[Walter B.] Smith also wanted to know what use could be made of the UFO phenomenon in connection with US psychological warfare efforts.”

    This is a particularly interesting statement. Rather than suggesting an indirect relationship between world affairs and UFO sightings, employing wording along the lines of “what role the UFO phenomenon may have played in connection with US psychological warfare efforts” (or something to that effect), Haines’ historical overview of the CIA’s internal UFO studies suggests it might have hoped to exploit UFOs. One might consider that a funny thing for an agency to want to do, amidst taking such great care not to appear to be too interested in the subject in question!

    YouFoes

    Haines goes on to summarize the cooperative effort between the CIA and the USAF, and how the CIA’s concealment of their operations would later help fuel accusations of a coverup:

    [T]he CIA Study Group met with Air Force officials at Wright-Patterson and reviewed their data and findings. The Air Force claimed that 90 percent of the reported sightings were easily accounted for. The other 10 percent were characterized as “a number of incredible reports from credible observers.” The Air Force rejected the theories that the sightings involved US or Soviet secret weapons development or that they involved “men from Mars”; there was no evidence to support these concepts. The Air Force briefers sought to explain these UFO reports as the misinterpretation of known objects or little understood natural phenomena. Air Force and CIA officials agreed that outside knowledge of Agency interest in UFOs would make the problem more serious. This concealment of CIA interest contributed greatly to later charges of a CIA conspiracy and coverup.

    Returning to J. Allen Hynek, the former Blue Book advisor had written about his suspicions of involvement by parties outside the USAF in 1977 — one year prior to the first batch of UFO files being released by the CIA. While they may not have been theonly other group involved (Stanton Friedman has, for instance, frequently referred to the UFO files kept by the NSA), it is clear that the CIA very well may have been behind some of these operations, of which Hynek had maintained such suspicions.

    Hynek wasn’t alone, however. Jim and Coral Lorenzen, founders of the Wisconsin-based Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), had long suspected control from a party outside the Air Force, and had even gone so far as to specify their feeling that this agency was the CIA. In their book UFOs Over the Americas, the Lorenzens devoted an entire chapter to possible CIA involvement in UFO studies, in which they wrote the following:

    In Flying Saucer Occupants  we presented the dual hypothesis the CIA is conducting an undercover intelligence gathering program relating to UFO phenomenon, and that, for intelligent reasons, it has been for sixteen-odd years the architect of Project Blue Book (the Air Force investigation project on UFOs) and the general Air Force public information policy–the latter being a “cover” program designed to hide the fact that the former exists.

    Lorenzen

    The Lorenzens offered nine points, as featured in their aforementioned previous publication Flying Saucer Occupants, which gave their rational for why the CIA had likely been involved in UFO research at that time (something that, to reiterate, wouldn’t become public knowledge for a number of years). Later in the chapter, they also share a rather telling story about how one of the early members of their fledgling organization had seemingly been spying on them, possibly in conjunction with the kind of CIA surveillance they had suspected.

    This individual, a man who had purportedly worked hard to steer the Lorenzens toward metaphysical interpretations of the UFO phenomenon early on, had sent a letter to them dated February 22, 1953, which Coral read, and “flipped it into a file basket on her desk.” Doing so allowed the light to hit the paper in just such a way that faint depressions from the typing of an earlier document (which had been typed on a separate sheet of paper, using this one as a platen) were revealed; in particular, Coral had seen her own name illuminated on the document! Rubbing lightly over the impressions with a soft lead pencil revealed the beginning of “an abbreviated intelligence report”, and after confronting this individual about the apparent memo he had written about Coral, he claimed it was merely something he did “to formalize his feelings about people he met and to define his impressions and that it was strictly a report for his own files.”

    Needless to say, this wouldn’t be the best of ways to gain the confidence of others, whether then, or now. The Lorenzens went on to note the possible (or likely?) connection this man had to the CIA, further noting how the CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel later in 1953 would go on to name the APRO specifically among organizations that should be watched “because of their potentially great influence on mass thinking if widespread sightings should occur.”

    As we have examined throughout this article, the CIA’s past involvement with UFO research is well established by now. UFO researchers like J. Allen Hynek suspected the involvement of parties outside the USAF early on, and the Lorenzens and APRO managed to take their assessments so far as to specifically name the CIA amidst their similar suspicions. Whether or not they had been the “architects” behind the USAF’s Project Blue Book, we certainly know that the CIA’s study group was meeting with Air Force officials at Wright Patterson AFB, hence proving that the two groups were in communication on the subject of UFOs.

    “Certainly APRO has been watched,” the Lorenzens would conclude. “And, probably, other UFO groups as well.” The words of Joseph Heller come to mind here, where he famously quipped, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.” A true statement indeed, and the APRO affair is no doubt only one of many instances where the CIA — and probably other groups as well — have kept tabs on civilian UFO groups for various reasons.

    VIDEO: Drone filmt ‘buitenaardse opslag’ Area 51

    Han Faulkner wilde graag weten welke geheimen er verborgen liggen in Area 51 en besloot met een drone over de geheimzinnige vliegbasis in Nevada te vliegen die al lange tijd wordt geassocieerd met geruchten over buitenaardse activiteit.

    Het is ook de plek waar het Amerikaanse leger stealthtechnologieën en het spionagevliegtuig U2 ontwikkelde. Het bestaan van de basis werd in 2013 officieel erkend door de CIA.

    ‘Hangar met buitenaardse ruimteschepen’

    Vanaf het moment dat natuurkundige Bob Knapp in de jaren tachtig claimde dat in een hangar van Area 51 buitenaardse ruimteschepen worden bewaard, wordt de basis in verband gebracht met buitenaardse activiteit.

    UFO-enthousiastelingen van over de hele wereld reizen af naar het gebied, hoewel het voor het publiek niet mogelijk is om in de buurt van de basis te komen.

    Speciale eenheid

    Faulkner maakte de dronebeelden vanaf Tikaboo Peak. Hij beweerde te zijn gevolgd door ‘witte voertuigen’, wat koren op de molen is van samenzweringstheoretici.

    Afgelopen december beloofde presidentskandidaat Hillary Clinton een speciale eenheid naar Area 51 te sturen om te achterhalen of er UFO’s worden bewaard, als ze wordt gekozen tot de nieuwe president van Amerika.

    VOGELS WORDEN BANG VAN VREEMDE GELUIDEN ( VIDEO )

    Niet alleen mensen horen de vreemde geluiden in de lucht, maar ook de dieren. 

    Wanneer zij, voordat wij iets ervaren, onrustig worden of angstig dan is de klok erop gelijk te zetten dat er iets aan de hand is. 



    Waar voor ons eigenlijk wel vaststaat is dat al de vreemde geluiden die overal in de lucht worden gehoord verband houden met de nadering van het mini-zonnestelsel Nibiru en het overgrote deel van de mensheid nog steeds in verwarring is. 

    Iedere dag opnieuw en werkelijk in alle delen van de wereld worden de vreemde geluiden gehoord en helemaal niemand die er écht een verklaring voor heeft. 

    Een interessante manier om naar dingen te kijken, is om te zien hoe dieren reageren op bepaalde gebeurtenissen. Doen zij of er niets aan de hand is dan kun je het meestal wel naast je neerleggen als iets dat niet zo belangrijk is, maar wanneer zij wel reageren dan weet je dat er echt iets speelt. 

    De afgelopen weken zijn er veel van de bizarre geluiden gehoord in Canada en iemand in Vancouver heeft op video vastgelegd hoe vogels reageren op het vreemde geluid in de lucht. 

    Ze worden heel onrustig, alsof er ergens iets in hun genen zit wat hen vertelt dat dit eerder is gebeurd en dat het toen geen goed nieuws was. 

     

    Iets dat ook opvalt, is dat er steeds meer mainstream berichtgeving is over vreemde dingen in ons zonnestelsel en ook zaken zoals UFO’s en buitenaards leven komen aan bod. 

    Neem een mainstream blad zoals de Engelse Sun. Jarenlang zette dit medium alles alles wat met UFO’s en/of buitenaardse zaken te maken had in een soort lacherige context. Iets dat de meeste mainstream publicaties deden. 

    Nu opeens komen ze met een bloedserieus verhaal over twee Londense politieagenten die ’s morgens vroeg onafhankelijk van elkaar een onbekend object boven de stad waarnemen.


    ufo boven londen

    Hetzelfde geldt een beetje voor de Engelse Express. Ook daar nu een bloedserieus verhaal over een klokkenluider van de Amerikaanse marine die bevestigt dat zowel UFO’s als buitenaards leven bestaan. 

    De 49-jarige die als marineman duizenden officiële documenten onder ogen heeft gehad, bevestigd in een exclusief interview met de Express dat er in die documenten foto’s voorkomen niet alleen van UFO’s maar ook van de buitenaardse inzittenden. 

    Dan NASA die enkele dagen achter elkaar “vergeet” dat de camera’s op het ISS ruimtestation zodanig staan opgesteld dat het mini-zonnestelsel Nibiru heel duidelijk zichtbaar is. 

     

    Kortom, het lijkt er nu toch echt op dat het publiek wordt voorbereid op de dingen die gaan komen. 

    Dat zal ook wel moeten want in dit tempo zal het niet al te lang duren voordat al die planeten, steeds frequenter, ook met het blote oog zichtbaar zijn.

    Date of discovery: unknown
    Location of discovery: Romania
    Google coordinates: 45°42'12.11"N 21°18'8.88"E

    This UFO has been seen many times over the years, but no one has made a video with the views over it from 2003 to 2016, including a 3D view of it which is proof its not a water tower, it is sitting flat on the ground. There are no doorways and there are no roads or paved walkways. It is hiding under the trees, with a line of trees blocking it from all sides. This looks very suspicious to me. Even though the house and are looks old and desolate, the buildings near the UFO were not even there in 2003, but look old, probably made to look old on purpose to keep people away.

    ALIEN ORB CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN ATHENS VERMONT
    NOVEMBER 17, 2014   ………  ATHENS VERMONT
    I was reading in bed and I had just finished so I turned the light out. I had been in the dark for no more than a minute when I saw a green light illuminating my room and the room outside my door. I sat up and looked out the window and witnessed a green orb decending from above the housd to the second floor window adjacent to me. I could hear what sounded like large gears rotating even though the window and wall. The orb then entered through the window affecting nothing physically. The sound of rotating gears was quite loud at this point and I had been watching it move from behind what served as a temporary door.
    The orb moved half way into the room before I got up to approach it and had been no more than 10 feet from where I was standing. I slowly and quietly began to approach the door because I had wanted to see it up close and personal, touch it if possible. Yet when I got to the door and tried to go out the orb moved at incredible speed back through the window as if it were not even there and accended rapidly into the sky and out of sight. This event was not ball lightning yet I do not particularly expect anyone to believe me. This orb however expressed awareness and inteligence and when it knew I had been aware of it. It flew away. This is not my first experience and I am sure it will not be my last.

    Guam's skies have a history of UFOs

    On New Year’s Day, 1957, a white light appeared from the west and flew beneath 1st Lt. Ted Brunson’s aircraft while he was flying over open ocean near Guam.

    Brunson, a member of the 41st Fighter-Inteceptor Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base, gave chase.

    “He pursued the light; he went after it,” said Ty Brunson, the pilot’s son, in a recent interview.

    During the pursuit, Ty Brunson said, his father inverted the aircraft to ensure the light was real and not just a reflection off the plane’s canopy.

    “That was a negative; it was definitely an object out there,” said the younger Brunson.

    Despite his efforts, Ted Brunson couldn’t catch the mysterious object. He put his plane, an F-86D Sabre, into afterburner, giving the plane some extra thrust. Even then, it wasn’t enough.

    “As he thought he was closing in on it, he said the light began to run circles around him,” Ty Brunson said.

    Ted Brunson continued to maneuver his plane in an effort to catch the mystery craft, to no avail.

    That was surprising, his son said, given that the F-86D Sabre “was about the fastest thing in the sky that the Air Force or anybody had at the time.”

    “So whatever this was, he said, was extremely fast. Way beyond our technology,” said his son.

    Ty Brunson said his father told him there weren’t any other aircraft that he knew of in the sky at the time, certainly not anything that could perform with the speed and agility of the light.

    “He said it would do circles around him and then go over and above and below and circle him the opposite way, just kind of toying with him,” said Ty Brunson.

    Eventually, the pilot started running low on fuel and a call made to base for backup was denied. Ted Brunson broke off and returned to the base.

    There’s little reason to doubt the pilot made up the story. The Air Force called Ted Brunson “very reliable” in a report submitted to Project Blue Book, which collected 12,618 reports of UFO sightings from 1947 to 1969.

    For each sighting, the Air Force created a file and each file ended with a specific conclusion about what the witness likely saw, be it a meteor, aircraft or, in some cases, birds.

    Only 701 cases — just over 5 percent — were classified as “unidentified,” according to a report by the Air Force Times.

    Ted Brunson’s was one of them.

    “I think it was pretty cool,” said Ty Brunson. “My father was an extremely honest person. I mean very, very, very honest.”

    Not unheard of

    Though strange, reports of UFO sightings in Guam aren’t entirely unheard of.

    At The Black Vault website, UFO enthusiast John Greenewald has posted a treasure trove of files related to unidentified flying object reports, collected through decades of Freedom of Information Act requests filed with federal authorities, the Air Force Times reported.

    Among the site’s 1,600 pages received from the FBI are two pages referring to a 1947 sighting in Guam.

    The report, “Reports of flying discs” was sent to the FBI director from the special agent in charge at the agency’s office in San Francisco.

    “Enclosed for your information are copies of two letters from Lt. Col. (redacted) … with attachments reporting the sighting of ‘flying discs’ on Guam,” the report said.

    The attachment reports “unidentified flying objects,” seen by three enlisted men of the 147th Airways and Air Communications Service Squadron at Harmon Field.

    “The men report that at (10:40 a.m.) on Aug. 14, 1947, the two objects, which they describe as small, crescent shaped and traveling at a speed twice that of a fighter plane, passed over them on a zig-zag course in a westerly direction and approximate altitude of 1,200 feet,” the report states.

    The report went on to state that the objects disappeared into some clouds and, a few seconds later, re-emerged before proceeding west.

    Making headlines

    Reports of UFO sightings aren’t limited to cryptic government documents either. From at least 1979 to 1990, sightings made newspaper headlines in Guam.

    “Police hunt UFO,” read one Pacific Daily News headline from 1980.

    In that case, the newspaper reported officers being assigned to observe a UFO seen over Mt. Santa Rosa in Yigo for several days. Two days later, the end of the quest for answers was reported with what some might consider a less-than-satisfactory headline: “UFO a star.”

    Ten years later, a “mysterious blue light” was “reported by dozens,” another article stated.

    Two days later, an Air Force spokesman said the light was a missile from California. The next day, though, a second spokesman from the same base said such a missile would only appear as a “tiny speck,” not a streak across the sky.

    One year after that, in 1991, a “sky light” appeared above the eastern horizon one night before it “just, like, blew up,” according to one witness.

    A NASA official in Hawaii theorized the light was a large meteor breaking up as it entered the atmosphere.

    Cigar-shaped light

    Finally, there was the case of Sgt. Andrew Anderson, a police officer on patrol in Dededo on Feb 15, 1988.

    While driving alone near the War Dog Cemetery entrance on Route 1, something caught his eye in the distance, hovering over the vicinity of the Guam International Airport. It was a light, bluish-white in color, roughly five to six miles away and about 500 feet in the air.

    “And I saw that light,” he said in a recent interview. “A cigar-shaped, blue light.”

    Anderson said he was used to seeing planes taking off and landing, but this was different. This light, he said, simply hovered there, stationary. It was strange enough for Anderson to call the radio dispatcher and ask whether any “unusual activity” had been reported above the airport.

    The airport, he said, told him there was nothing according to their radar.

    Meanwhile, the light was drifting side to side.

    “It sort of moved a little left, a little right. And that already goes against the natural course of an airplane,” Anderson said. “It just hovered. And I don’t know what it was, I can’t say what it was.”

    Anderson kept his eyes on the light as it continued hovering for 20 to 30 seconds.

    “And then just ‘poof!’” he said. “Did I just see that that thing just take off?”

    “It just went out,” he added, his hand darting upward, “shot up.”

    Career at risk

    When Anderson returned to the precinct, the duty lieutenant had heard about the sighting and asked the sergeant if what he reported was true.

    “I said ‘Of course!’” Anderson said. “I’m not gonna make things up. We report exactly what we see and we don’t lie about anything.”

    Making up a police report, he said, would mean termination and possible prosecution.

    “It’s not a joke,” he said.

    That’s similar to how Ted Brunson felt, according to his son, who said even mentioning UFOs can put a pilot’s career at risk.

    “In a sense, you were kind of risking your career making mention of something like that,” he said.

    Anderson added that he was wide awake at the time he had his encounter.

    “In fact, it made me even wider awake,” he said, laughing. “And I wish somebody was with me. They would’ve seen the same thing and they would’ve reported the same thing.”

    As to why he made a police report out of it, Anderson said it was his job.

    “It was something that was very unusual,” he said. “It would be just like unusual if a store was closed and you see a light pass through the window. You don’t ignore it. That’s what I do as an investigator. You document things you see and note it.”

    No speculation

    For that same reason, he said, he didn’t speculate or make any opinions about what the light might have been.

    “That’s not what I do,” he said. “I leave it up to the professionals to do their investigation. I can’t speculate on what it was.”

    That’s a trait he shares with Ted Brunson, who, his son said, took a very matter-of-fact approach to recounting his experience.

    “I would ask him all the time, just kinda jokingly ‘Was it a flying saucer? Were there like Martians in it or something like that?’ Just kinda teasing around with him about it and he would get pretty serious,” Ty Brunson said.

    “When I asked him what it was he would just say ‘It was a UFO. It was a UFO,’ that’s all he would say. He never said that it was a flying saucer or that there was any kind of life-form on the inside,” Ty Brunson said. “He just stated that it seemed to be intelligent and it was a UFO.”

    Ty Brunson also said he doesn’t speculate about what the light was.

    “As far as I know, it was just a flashing light,” he said. “I believe it was what he said it was: a flashing light.”

    Lingering mysteries

    The strange lights reported in Guam over the years might forever remain a mystery.

    Andersen Air Force Base, when contacted, said they “don’t have a subject matter expert” about UFOs in Guam. They did, however, provide an extract from the 3d (CQ not 3rd) Air Division History — 36th Wing Archives.

    The excerpt refers to a notice received in Nov. 18, 1959, of an unidentified flying object sighted by “numerous personnel at Andersen Air Force Base, and other sections of Guam,” according to the report.

    It came from the northwest traveling southeast about 35,000 feet in the air before disappearing from view. Witnesses described the object as “circular or spherical and tapered off at the trailing edge.”

    It made no sound, but appeared blue-green in color, changing to orange-yellow. The report ends the same as many others seem to end.

    “The true nature of the object was not determined.”

    3 Lessons 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' Can Teach Us About Life

    According to Wikipedia, the Epic of Gilgamesh is described as:

    The Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem from Mesopotamia, is considered the world’s first truly great work of literature. The literary history of Gilgamesh begins with five Sumerian poems about ‘Bilgamesh’ (Sumerian for ‘Gilgamesh’), king of Uruk. These independent stories were used as source material for a combined epic. The first surviving version of this combined epic, known as the “Old Babylonian” version, dates to the 18th century BC and is titled after its incipitShūtur eli sharrī (“Surpassing All Other Kings”). Only a few tablets of it have survived. The later “Standard” version dates from the 13th to the 10th centuries BC and bears the incipit Sha naqba īmuru (“He who Saw the Deep”, in modern terms: “He who Sees the Unknown”). Approximately two thirds of this longer, twelve-tablet version have been recovered. Some of the best copies were discovered in the library ruins of the 7th-century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.

    The first half of the story discusses Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, and Enkidu, a wild man created by the gods to stop him oppressing the people of Uruk. After an initial fight, Gilgamesh and Enkidu become close friends. Together, they journey to the Cedar Mountain and defeat Humbaba, its monstrous guardian. Later they kill the Bull of Heaven, which the goddess Ishtar sends to punish Gilgamesh for spurning her advances. As a punishment for these actions, the gods sentence Enkidu to death.

    In the second half of the epic, Gilgamesh’s distress at Enkidu’s death causes him to undertake a long and perilous journey to discover the secret of eternal life. He eventually learns that “Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands”.[1][2] However, because of his great building projects, his account of Siduri‘s advice, and what the immortal man Utnapishtim told him about the Great Flood, Gilgamesh’s fame survived his death. His story has been translated into many languages, and in recent years has featured in works of popular fiction.

    Some of you may be familiar with the text because it was required reading in high school (and certain colleges), and while at the time of study it may have had a different significance, if approached with an alchemical understanding, we can learn a lot about life, death, reincarnation and the destiny of man’s evolution. The three specific passages below, in particular, are worth revisiting with a new understanding.

    1. “Oh, father Utnapishtim, you who have entered the assembly of the gods, I wish to question you concerning the living and the dead, how shall I find the life for which I am searching?” Utnapishtim said, “there is no permanence. Do we build a house to stand forever, do we seal a contract to hold for all time? Do brothers divide an inheritance to keep forever, does the flood-time of rivers endure? It is only the nymph of the dragon-fly who sheds her larva and sees the sun in his glory. From the days of old there is no permanence. The sleeping and the dead, how alike they are, they are like a painted death. What is there between the master and the servant when both have fulfilled their doom? When the Annunaki, the judges, come together, and Mammetun, the mother of destinies, together they decree the fates of men. Life and death they allot but the day of death they do not disclose.”


    2. Facing the reality of his own death, he begins a desperate search for immortality. He travels to the end of the Earth, where he encounters Siduri, a female tavern keeper, who advises him: “Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man.”

    3.  “Utnapishtim, son of Ubartutu, abandon your house, abandon what you possess. Abandon your house and build a boat instead. Seek life instead of riches, save yourself. Take with you, on the boat you build, an instance of each thing living so that they may be safe from obliteration in the flood. Perform the construction of the boat with care. Let the length of the boat and the width of the boat be equal. Roof over the boat as the abyss is roofed.”

    The past shaped our present, but also shapes our future. Grasping the knowledge of the ancients is key in our guided ascension.

    To learn even more, look to the work of Joseph Campbell to unlock an even higher level of gnosis.

    MIT researchers used Wi-Fi to recognize people through walls

    It can also distinguish you from other people

    Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have developed software that uses variations in Wi-Fi signals to recognize human silhouettes through walls. The researchers built a device, called RF-Capture, that transmits wireless signals and then analyzes the reflections of those signals to piece together a human form, according to a study published this morning.

    IT CAN DETERMINE BREATHING PATTERNS AND HEART RATE

    The technology is an extension of something the MIT team has been working on for a few years. In 2013, they used similar radio frequency technology to detect motion on the other side of a wall or obstruction, Gizmodo reports. Now, the RF-Capture is sophisticated enough to determine subtle differences in body shapes, and, with 90 percent accuracy, distinguish between 15 different people through a wall. It can even determine a person's breathing patterns and heart rate.

    Here's how it works: The RF-Capture is placed in a room, and a person walks in a neighboring room on the other side of the wall. The device emits wireless signals, which travel through the wall, and reflect off different parts of the human body as it moves. As various part of the body are reflected in the wireless signal, the RF-Capture takes snapshots. Then, using an algorithm to identify body parts, it stitches the images together to create a silhouette of the moving figure. In some experiments, when the researchers focused the device on specific movement patterns they were able to trace a person's handwriting as he wrote in the air, Gizmodo reports.

    While there's no real-world application for the RF-Capture yet, the MIT researchers say there are many possibilities. According to Gizmodo, the RF-Capture could be used to track the movements of an elderly person living alone, and be able to determine if they had fallen down. The technology could also potentially be used in smart homes, if certain gestures detected by the device were used to control appliances. The researchers expect the technology to get more accurate over time.

    If this seems like an excellent way to spy on someone, you're not wrong. But the researchers told Gizmodo that in addition to necessary regulation that would need to be implemented, they're currently designing blockers that would only allow a person to be tracked by her own device.

    Air Force reveals B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber…..February 26, 2016

    160226-F-YZ123-004

    from Mike Martin, Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs:

    WASHINGTON (AFNS) — Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James revealed the first rendering of the Long Range Strike Bomber, designated the B-21, at the Air Force Association’s Air Warfare Symposium Feb. 26 in Orlando, Fla., and announced the Air Force will be taking suggestions from Airmen to help decide the name of the bomber.

    “This aircraft represents the future for our Airmen, and (their) voice is important to this process,” James said. “The Airman who submits the selected name will help me announce it at the (Air Force Association) conference this fall.”

    While there are no existing prototypes of the aircraft, the artist rendering is based on the initial design concept. The designation B-21 recognizes the LRS-B as the first bomber of the 21st century.

    The reveal comes just weeks after both James and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III delivered the fiscal year 2017 posture statement before the Senate Appropriations Committee, making it clear modernization is a top priority for the Air Force.

    “The platforms and systems that made us great over the last 50 years will not make us great over the next 50,” Welsh said during his testimony on Capitol Hill Feb. 10.  “There are many other systems we need to either upgrade or recapitalize to ensure viability against current and emerging threats… the only way to do that is to divest old capability to build the new.”

    James said the B-21 will allow the Air Force to operate in tomorrow’s high end threat environment, and give the Air Force the flexibility and the capability to launch from the continental United States and deliver airstrikes on any location in the world.

    James also explained why the B-21 shares some resemblance to the B-2.

    “The B-21 has been designed from the beginning based on a set of requirements that allows the use of existing and mature technology,” James said.

    The program recently entered into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase and the Air Force plans to field the initial capability of the aircraft in mid-2020s.

    Airmen — Active, Guard, Reserve and civilian — should stay tuned to AF.mil and Air Force social media accounts for more information on how to submit their ideas.

    Update:  B-21 (Northrop Grumman) literally a “B-3:

    b-21-lrsb

    The following is from Jamie Hunter “America’s New Bomber” – – Combat Aircraft Monthly – – January 2016:

    (QUOTE):

    In recent months, photos of something in the air over Texas and Kansas have been put forward, giving every appearance of depicting  heretofore unknown unconventional aircraft, perhaps two distinct types, flying in broad daylight. Said aircraft appear to be of flying wing configuration, but possibly not B-2s, the only other large flying wing known to be in existence. The Kansas aircraft in particular appears to resemble somewhat the long-cancelled A-12 Avenger II, with a straight trailing edge. While the photos could be of B-2s at such an angle that their distinctive batwing silhouette is distorted (indeed, that is apparently now the official USAF explanation) the sightings come at a time when many believe the US has at least one or more large secret aircraft either close to flying, or already under test.

    Mystery Aircraft drawing
    A quick sketch showing a strictly hypothetical configuration for an possible “black” aircraft seen recently

    So, What are the Candidates?

    RQ-180: as yet unacknowledged by officialdom, yet widely believed to exist, the RQ-180 is the designation thought to be associated with a large, low-observable UAV, probably built by Northrop Grumman. The logic behind such a program seems straightforward – the RQ-4 Global Hawk has provided high altitude surveillance capability since the start of the century, but as planning shifts away from fighting counter-insurgency wars such as Iraq and Afghanistan, the Global Hawk has begun to look unsurvivable when faced with first-world air defense threats. The USAF has tried over recent years to get out of the RQ-4 business, which might indicate that a more capable system is nearing readiness. The Lockheed Martin RQ-170 was probably a stopgap measure, built in limited numbers to penetrate the airspace of countries such as Iran, Pakistan, and North Korea, where advanced but perhaps not state of the art high altitude air defenses could be expected.

    If its does exist, the RQ-180 may be optionally manned in some variants, and will probably have the capability to conduct offensive electronic warfare missions, as well as a “hard kill” ability using precision ordnance.

    If the RQ-180 is a Northrop Grumman product, it stands to reason that the company would have used its experience with the X-47 series, and thus, such a vehicle might have a similar “Cranked Kite” planform, something that the Kansas aircraft did notappear to have. But again, clearer photos are needed.

    LRS-B/B-3: For around a decade now, the USAF has had a seemingly on-again/off-again preliminary effort to develop a new penetrating bomber, variously known as the Next Generation Bomber, “The 2018 Bomber”, “B-3”, “2038 Bomber”, and currently, “Long Range Strike-B”. Such a capability is forecast to be needed by the 2020s-2030s, when the limited number of B-2s while be nearing their 40th birthdays and possibly becoming vulnerable to Chinese defenses; by that time the B-52H and B-1B fleets will be even older and more vulnerable.

    If a LRS-B demonstrator aircraft or prototype would exist [note: it has been stated that in fact no LRS-B demonstrators were built. Take that for what it’s worth], it would probably resemble at least conceptually a B-2 follow-on – a stealthy flying wing, using existing engines and systems to cut down on development costs – another B-2 program where the resulting aircraft were too expensive for anything but a token force would definitely be out.

    Update: B-21

    The LRS-B program, following a 2014 RFP, was awarded to the team led by Northrop Grumman in the fall of 2015.  From the artist’s depiction released in February 2016, the aircraft strongly resembles the B-2, as predicted. The B-21 is from the start intended to be a more “networked” aircraft, able to interface more seamlessly with other platforms.  Dimensions, although unreleased, are likely to be smaller than those of the Spirit, but even an aircraft with half the B-2’s payload would be a formidable strike asset.

    B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber drawing
    Provisional overhead drawing of the winning Northrop Grumman LRS-B contender, confirmed by the USAF to be designated as the B-21.


    Whatever the mystery aircraft were, assuming they were not mis-identified B-2s, it can be asked: “Why now? Why fly such secret aircraft in unsecured airspace, where anyone with a reasonably good camera might be able to get a good look at them?”

    Well, “black” aircraft do tend to go off-range at a certain point in their development, even before they’re disclosed. Base commanders back in the U-2 days were briefed about what to do if a “Dragon Lady” with trouble showed up unexpectedly, and F-117pilots reportedly carried letters from the TAC commander to facilitate hiding their “Black Jets” if they had to land somewhere else than TTR or Groom Lake. Whatever’s flying around out west, it may be far enough along that it has to “go on the road”. And it may well be politically advantageous to disclose such an aircraft’s existence, or at least hint at it.

    But basically all we know right now is that there might well be something out there. There’s a big new hangar at Groom Lake that was built for something. So keep looking up!

    'Last Man on the Moon' Documentary Brings Space Exploration Home

    On Dec. 14, 1972, Apollo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan became the last person (to date) to set foot on the lunar surface. The story of Cernan's NASA career, and the way it has shaped the rest of his life, is the subject of "Last Man on the Moon," a documentary directed by Mark Craig that opens in select theatres today (Feb. 26).

    The story of NASA's Apollo program has been told many, many times in various movies and an almost uncountable number of books. The focus of these narratives tends to fall somewhere between delivering historic information about the program, and attempting to emotionally connect an audience to the people involved. 

    "Last Man on the Moon" steps away from that typical binary, and instead focuses on bringing the story of the Apollo program into the present day. For many people not old enough to personally remember Apollo and the moon landings, the events that transpired therein, however inspiring, are so distant that they often feel like fiction. It can be difficult to forge an emotional connection to the people who appear in the grainy NASA footage shot in the 1960s and 70s. "Last Man on the Moon" uses Cernan, now in his 80s, as a conduit between then and now. It focuses as much on his late-life reflections as it does on the events themselves. And by digging deep into this man's personal experiences and motivations, it succeeds at telling a very universal — and more importantly, very modern — story.

    Eugene Cernan, the last Apollo astronaut to walk on the moon, is the focus of the documentary

    The opening scenes of "Last Man on the Moon" feature shots of Cernan, in the present day, wandering around a crowded rodeo in Texas, perusing cattle and watching the bull riders hang on for dear life. This is interspersed with historical footage of the Apollo 17 lunar module, in which Cernan was a passenger, touching down on the completely bare lunar surface. Thanks to some cinematic music and suspenseful pacing, the scene is exhilarating. This sequence emphasizes the wonder of the moon landing by reminding the audience that there were real people in that lander — including a man who now walks around on Earth, just like the rest of us.

    There are many other sequences in the film that play out in this same fashion. We see Cernan vsit the neighborhood subdivision where he and his wife lived, along with most of the other Apollo astronauts and their families. We see him visit the graves of his friends who died in the Apollo 1 fire (the interview with Martha Horn Chaffee, whose husband Roger died in that fire, is absolutely gut wrenching). Sometimes other people see us better than we see ourselves, and some of the deepest insights in the movie come from Cernan's ex-wife, who at one point says, "If you think it's hard going to the moon, try staying behind." At a Q&A following a screening of the film in New York, Cernan said that until a few years ago, he hadn't comprehended how deeply his spaceflights affected her.

    Another example of this type of then-and-now storytelling comes later in the film, following footage of multiple Apollo launches, including scenes from mission control at Johnson Space Center in Houston, and the launch facilities at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The audience once again sees Cernan in the present day, walking around the pad where the Apollo capsules were launched into space aboard Saturn V rockets. The facilities have been unused for years. The equipment is covered with rust, the ground is overrun by weeds, and Cernan's disappointment is deep. He says he wishes he hadn't come, that he doesn't want to remember it like this.

    The story of Cernan's astronaut career would provide a perfectly interesting narrative by itself, one full of triumphs and tragedies. But the film doesn't lose its momentum once it passes through that time in Cernan's life (once again making a departure from many documentaries of this kind). The filmmakers place equal emphasis placed on what Cernan chose to do after that spaceflight heyday — how he came back to Earth. He makes late-life reflections about being a poor father and husband during his astronaut career (a sentiment echoed by some of the other former astronauts interviewed for the film). But the viewers also get to see how he tries to atone for those choices and be a better family man, while still leading a life that is intimately tied to his career as an astronaut. 

    The film is based on Cernan's book of the same name, and during the Q&A in New York, Cernan said he initially turned down the filmmakers' request to turn the story into a movie. He was persuaded when it became clear that the film was meant to tell the larger story of the Apollo program, particularly to young people who may not be familiar with it. For decades now, Cernan has worked as a public figure and advocate for space science and human space exploration. The film ends with him delivering an endorsement of NASA's Orion and SLS programs, and the agency's plan for a human mission to Mars.

    Even if Cernan didn't want a movie made "about him," he is the reason this particular space documentary works so well. "Last Man on the Moon" works hard to link the young, fearless U.S. Air Force pilot who walked on the moon, to the old man who raises cattle in Texas; in doing so, it links the accomplishments and motivations of the Apollo program with current and future human spaceflight goals. The personal becomes universal, and one man's journey to the moon can be connected to the much larger story of humanity's desire to explore the cosmos.

    Un texte de Philippe Solal.

    OVNIS ET CONSCIENCE

    Ayant eu à rédiger la synthèse de l’ouvrage Ovnis et conscience en décembre 2014, je me suis demandé récemment si, avec le recul, j’aurais aujourd’hui rédigé le même texte final. La réponse est oui. Avec ce recul, je me rends compte combien la contribution de Jean-Jacques Jaillat était essentielle. Son texte est court mais dense et il met très vite le doigt sur ce qui dans la problématique OVNI doit susciter le soupçon, à savoir son extrême proximité avec les arcanes de notre propre psyché :

    « Non, le phénomène me paraît beaucoup plus proche de nous, humain, très humain… Mais devrais-je dire plutôt : trop humain ? Trop humain… pour être honnête… Trop humain pour l’être entièrement. Dirions-nous : participant à l’humain ? « Ils » nous connaissent trop bien pour nous être banalement extérieurs ».

    Très vite, Jean-Jacques Jaillat fit le lien avec ce que nous connaissons du fonctionnement de l’inconscient, et par « fonctionnement » il faut d’abord entendre son mode d’expression spécifique :
    « Le phénomène ne manque pas non plus d’humour et de malice, comme, étrangement ( ?), notre inconscient, qu’il soit observé par Freud ou par Jung. Tout observateur attentionné du psychisme (y compris onirique) en est assuré. Jung ne nommait-il pas l’inconscient : « le filou »… ! »

    L’inconscient, pour les psychanalystes, c’est effectivement « le filou », « le trompeur », le « sphinx aux énigmes », dirait Aimé Michel. Mais loin de se laisser emporter par un psycho-réductionnisme intenable, c’est avec une audace incroyable (qui avait suscité en moi admiration et enthousiasme), que Jean-Jacques avait opté pour l’idée d’un univers psychique symbiotiquement lié au nôtre, un monde conscientiel jumeau du nôtre et communiquant avec le monde humain par le canal de la conscience. Pour moi, aujourd’hui, cette vision des choses est juste à ceci près que cet univers-jumeau, ce « symbiote » est constitué par la partie non incarnée et transcendante de nous-mêmes. Cette solution avait été préparée par la contribution de Daniel Robin qui avait bien pris soin de distinguer les deux axes de la problématique : 
    a) l’axe horizontal de notre monde conscientiel : notre univers phénoménal, son mécanisme apparent, ses lois, ses contraintes matérielles
    b) l’axe vertical des niveaux de conscience qui met en évidence le fait que l’axe horizontal (notre univers matériel) n’est qu’un certain plan de réalité défini par sa densité d’information, mais qu’il existe d’autres niveaux conscientiels.

    C’est la contribution de Philippe Guillemant qui est alors décisive car elle nous décrit les étages du Réel dans une page qui restera pour moi la plus importante de toute l’histoire de l’ufologie, celle où partant de l’anima, il distingue le moi conscient puis le Soi supérieur, le tout chapeauté par l’Esprit.
    La contribution de Romuald Leterrier, en évoquant les expériences de transes chamaniques, nous a montré, quant à lui, que ces étages ne sont pas étanches et que les états modifiés de conscience permettent d’y accéder.
    Si l’on ajoute la contribution remarquable d’Eric Zurcher, qui pointe du doigt les problèmes épistémologiques posés par toute cette problématique, on comprendra maintenant avec le recul combien presque miraculeusement chaque contribution s’articule parfaitement aux autres. Avec ce recul, précisément, je dirais que seule manquait une contribution faisant le lien entre les visons rapportées par les experiencers de NDE et la phénoménologie OVNI, texte qu’un Jocelin Morrison aurait pu brillamment rédiger.
    Sans connaître la plupart d’entre nous, Fabrice Bonvin, qui est à l’origine du projet, avait donc constitué (à mon sens) un panel très équilibré et très complémentaire de chercheurs.

    J’étais loin, au moment de rédiger la synthèse finale, d’avoir fait le lien entre le phénomène OVNI et notre propre transcendance, et pourtant je ne changerais pas un mot aujourd’hui à la conclusion de tout l’ouvrage :

    « J’aurais mille fois préféré, en tant qu’amoureux sincère du travail de la science, que les OVNIS soient des vaisseaux interplanétaires provenant d’autres systèmes stellaires ou d’autres galaxies, que nos moyens de détections matériels aient pu finir par déceler et identifier. Mais ce n’est pas vers cette solution que nous pousse l’investigation portant sur ce phénomène. Sa nature est plus complexe et nous conduit à déduire l’existence d’une « noosphère » ou d’une Conscience globale aux multiples densités, connectée avec nous, dont nous ne représentons qu’un certain étage ».

     Science and Philosophy in Ufology: Micah Hanks, UFO MODPOD, and Why the Hell is This Getting All Cerebral?

    Picture
    In the latest episode of Rogueplanet's "UFO MODPOD" podcast, Micah Hanks was interviewed by hosts Jason McClellan, Maureen Elsberry and Ryan Sprague. As usual, it was a terrific and entertaining episode, and Hanks raised a few interesting questions regarding science and philosophy. Citing a quote that claims the "death of philosophy" made by the famous scientist, Stephen Hawking, Hanks ponders whether science can progress without philosophy.

    While Hanks raised a few interesting questions, one question came to my mind the next day that was touched on but never truly addressed in the episode.

    Which discipline benefits the study of UFOs more; science or philosophy?
    It's an interesting question when we really examine the reality of studying the UFO phenomenon.

    We begin and end where Ufology lives; with the investigation of a sighting or close encounter. Is there really anything more? We can argue over hypothetical flying saucer engines, alien biology and trans-dimensional travel all we want- science and philosophy, like any other academic discipline here, is impotent. These concepts, ideas and mechanics are all speculation better left to authors of science fiction than to the scientists and philosophers of today. What do we truly KNOW in regards to the study of UFOs? People see strange things in the sky that they cannot explain in a given moment; in other words, the investigation sightings and close encounters.

    In a previous post, I claimed that photographic and/or video evidence is generally (and the stress here is on "generally" as exceptions may exist, see the post) moot in dealing with UFO sightings/close encounters. The reasoning for this claim is that since any photo or video can be reproduced, they can be debunked as being "man-made." Evidence for UFO sightings and/or close encounters must now dwell in other realms that are unable to be reproduced by debunkers. Since, let's be honest, trace evidence or other types of physical evidence remain scarce and are only present in a very few cases, the vast majority of sightings (probably 99%) come down to witness testimony. From a scientific perspective, witness testimony is not exactly objective. While credibility of a witness can be extremely high, scientific method requires more than "someone's word." 

    The "truth" of witness testimony really exists in two places. First, it exists in the mind of the witness. They claim they saw something, whether they believe it or not, what they saw lives within their own consciousness. Secondly, it exists within the mind of the person receiving the testimony. In the case of Ufology, it is typically an investigator "hearing the story". The investigator must then make a decision, to believe the witness or not. Science is useless here.

    Can philosophy help? Yes, and no. Philosophy is able to provide a better understanding of the cultural, linguistic and sociological world our witness exists in. In other words, philosophy may be better able to establish the social biases and cultural zeitgeist the witness dwells in based upon the cultural reality they were born into and live. Will this establish "Truth?" That depends on who you ask.

    Ask a scientist, they'd say "No." According to science, "truth" is not relative to a given time or place. "Truth" is true beyond cultural constructs, zeitgeist or other relativistic ideologies. Ask a philosopher, and you'll get two answers. One philosopher might agree with the scientist that "truth" extends beyond culture and society- that "truth" is true in "all possible worlds", that is, it is universal. Ask another philosopher and they'd say to the scientist and the previous philosopher, "prove it." How can one prove that "truth" is true outside of cultural or social context since every single thinking being exists within culture and society? How can we argue for an objective reality when all our realities are governed by our current relativistic zeitgeist? Can we escape the cultural consciousness we've existed in for our entire lives? How can one establish "universal truth" when our thoughts, identities and minds exist within a subjective reality (language being one, for example)?


    Science, while lovely, is useless in establishing the validity of UFO sightings and close encounters as the vast majority rest upon the testimony of a witness. Philosophy, while able to potentially understand where "the witness is coming from," is also unable to "prove" that a witness's testimony is true. 

    What is the future of Ufology? I have no idea. What I do know, however, is that a degree in Chemistry, Physics, or Engineering is no more useful than a degree in Philosophy, Critical Theory or Cultural Studies when it comes to the study of UFOs. 

    Hanks and the UFO MODPOD team really opened  a can of worms here. The real question doesn't balance upon whether science and philosophy can coexist; the actual question is whether Ufology can exist within the balance? If science and philosophy are useless in the current study of UFOs, then what the hell are we doing?  
    Shit.

    Aliens Aren’t Coming! They Are Among Us And Most Of Them Are Either Dentists Or Lawyers…

    The video shows that the Alens aren’t coming, they are already hear. They are among us and most of them are dentist, lawyer or other jobs.
     
    There are some one hundred sixty (160) or more known types of Aliens visiting our world (Earth) at the present time, these are the most commonly seen types: Greys, type one – The Rigelians from the Rigel Star system and are approximately four feet tall, with a large head containing large slanted eyes, who worship technology and DON’T CARE ABOUT US. The type popularized in the “Communion” book by Strieber. They need vital secretions for their survival, which they are getting from us (earthlings).
     
    Greys, type two – Come from the Zeta Reticulae 1 & 2 solar systems. Same general appearance as a type one, although they have a different finger arrangement and a slightly different face. These Greys are more sophisticated then the type ones. They possess a degree of common sense and are somewhat passive. They don’t require the secretions that the type ones due.
     
    Greys, type three – Simple cloning form of types one and two above. Their lips are thinner (or no lips). They are subservient to the type one and two Greys above.
     
    This clip posted on YouTube and was viewed more than 132.000 times. One user said: “I can tell u aliens arent still traveling to earth there already here.”
     
    Other added: “Millions of people say they saw something, They can’t all be lying, its statistically impossible. Something is going on.”
     
    But others don’t believe that. One user wrote: “I don’t believe in this but I’m sure we’re not alone”. And other added: “they are not here and they are not coming anytime soon….get over it.”
     
    Here’s the video:

    Energy Orb Caught On Security Cam In Colorado, Feb 26, 2016, UFO Sightings Daily


    Date of sighting: February 26, 2016
    Location of sighting: Longmont, Colorado, USA
    News source: MUFON #74805

    This energy orb was caught on a infrared cam. Infrared catches spectrums of light that the human eye cannot see. Its often used by paranormal ghost hunters. This object isn't really long, but is just moving so fast that it appears stretched out. Its probably orb or oval shaped. Colorado is famous for its white glowing UFOs, some as big as a 727, and the eyewitnesses of these orbs number in the thousands just in the first 2 months of 2016.

    Eyewitness states: 

    Found this on one on my surveillance camera. I have no idea... winter, no birds, insects or bats. My house faces north and south... field behind me. The light went from west to east.

    CIA Files Reveal Hidden UFO Sightings That Could Be Bigger Than Roswell

    oskar-linke

    CIA files, which appear to be a top secret from the 1950s, reportedly expose an explosive truth about alien UFOs visiting Earth.

    The documents have details of encounters with flying saucers and aliens. Stunned witnesses describe unusual craft moving fast through the skies. Others mention meetings with shadowy figures or noises in space.

    If proven true, the accounts are as incredible as, or even more amazing than the alleged alien crash at Roswell.

    The 1952 file includes Oskar Linke’s sworn testimony. Linke was the mayor of Gleimershausen in Germany. He claimed to have spotted two entities in shiny metallic clothing, and one of the two had a glowing lamp on his body.

    Next to the two was a massive object that resembled a huge frying pan, which the two climbed when Oskar’s daughter called out to him.

    He said the object ascended in a horizontal position, turned toward a neighbouring town, and then vanished above the heights and forests.

    He went to the place where the object had been when he saw it. He was surprised to discover a circular opening in the ground that seemed to be freshly dug.

    The file indicates that many other residents in the same area later claimed they saw a comet-like object at the time.

    Another file from the same year depicts two fiery disks lurking above a uranium mine, which was then the Belgian Congo.

    The two mysterious things glided in elegant curves, the witness described. It then made a stop in mid-air and took off in a zig-zag manner.

    Commander Pierre flew after the disks from an airfield in Elisabethville, now known as Lubumbashi. Pierre, who was known to be a dependable airman, estimated their speed to be around 900mph. He also provided a sketch of the two UFOs.

    One more report from that year is from May, which involved a bizarre object that emitted flashes of light over Barcelona. Valentin Garcia, the journalist witness, said his office was flooded with many phone calls from people who claimed to see the same object.

    Several different witnesses reported similar sightings above Casblanca in Morocco, Algiers in Tunisia, Meknes, and Taorirt.
