RUIMTESCHIP, ALIEN EN PIRAMIDE ONTDEKT OP DE MAAN...

Het komt niet iedere dag voor dat er in een week tijd drie bijzondere ontdekkingen worden gedaan op onze maan. 

Dit keer is dat wel het geval en is er nu een opname van een ruimteschip, gemaakt door NASA, die geen enkele twijfel laat bestaan over wat het is. 

Er zijn tijdens de Apollo missies in de jaren zeventig duizenden foto's gemaakt van het maanoppervlak en wanneer daar iets bijzonders op is te zien, wordt dit meestal vakkundig weggepoetst door NASA medewerkers. Er is ook een groep mensen die ervan overtuigd zijn dat de maan een holografische manifestatie is, wat heel goed zou kunnen, en in dat geval zijn deze NASA beelden natuurlijk ook geveinsd. We gaan er voor de leesbaarheid van uit dat de maan een groot ding is aan ons firmament.

Soms ziet NASA dingen over het hoofd en gelukkig voor ons is dat dit keer gebeurd met een foto die is gemaakt tijdens de Apollo 14 missie in 1971. Op die opname zie je het object tussen de Apollo capsule en het maanoppervlak.

Verder uitvergroot en met wat extra contrast, ziet het er als volgt uit:

De originele foto is hier te bekijken. We hebben hier te maken hebben met een object dat niet door NASA weg verklaard kan worden als het inderdaad per ongeluk is vastgelegd. 

Het is een object/schip/module die door intelligente wezens is gebouwd en aangezien dit volgens de officiële kanalen niet door mensen is gemaakt, moet iemand anders dat hebben gedaan. Het hoeft dan natuurlijk niet automatisch buitenaards te zijn, het kan ook een schip zijn dat toebehoort aan de geheime ruimtevloot en welke was meegestuurd om een oogje in het zeil te houden tijdens deze Apollo missie.


Een tweede opname die iets bijzonders laat zien, werd enkele dagen geleden ontdekt en is gemaakt tijdens het Lunar Orbiter programma.

Op één van deze foto's is duidelijk een bijzondere piramide te zien die geen onderdeel vormt van het natuurlijke landschap.

Het is niet alleen een bijzondere piramide; het heeft ook nog eens een bijzonder vorm en wel die van een hexagon, op zijn Nederlands een regelmatige zeshoek genoemd. 

We zijn gewend kraters te zien op de maan, maar dit object steekt duidelijk boven het maanoppervlak uit en gezien de bijzondere geometrische vorm kan het bijna niet anders dan dat dit object door een bepaalde intelligentie is gemaakt.

En tenslotte een alien op de maan, gevonden door de inmiddels bekende Streetcap1 op een foto, gemaakt door één van de Chinese maanlanders. 

Naast een rots ontdekt hij een figuur dat verdacht veel lijkt op een buitenaardse.

Hierna volgen twee video's van Streetcap1. De eerste laat meer beelden zien van de door hem ontdekte alien en in de tweede legt hij uit waarom hij ervan overtuigd is dat we hier niet te maken hebben met een rots, maar daadwerkelijk met een  buitenaards iemand.

Wetenschappers verbaasd: eerste ruimte-object dat ons zonnestelsel bezoekt bevat mogelijk ‘buitenaards ijs’ - HLN.be

Bron: The Independent

Er is nog maar heel weinig geweten over wat Oumuamua juist is, waar het object vandaan komt, en waaruit het bestaat. De korte tijd dat het zichtbaar was voor het naar de andere kant van ons zonnestelsel vloog, liet maar weinig ruimte voor gedetailleerde observaties. De data die toen verzameld zijn, worden nog geanalyseerd.

Toen Oumuamua op 19 oktober voor het eerst gezien werd, realiseerden wetenschappers zich al snel dat het een bezoeker was van buiten ons zonnestelsel. Tot dan hadden wetenschappers verwacht dat dergelijke bezoekers eruit zouden zien als kometen: ijzige gesteenten die een zichtbaar spoor achterlaten terwijl ze voorbij hete sterren vliegen.

Maar toen Oumuamua door ons zonnestelsel zoefde, werd er helemaal geen spoor gezien, hoewel het object dichtbij de zon vloog.

IJs

Verschillende wetenschappers hebben intussen hun voorlopige bevindingen vrijgegeven. Volgens Alan Fitzsimmons van Queens University in Belfast, hoofdauteur van een van twee grote studies, kan niet uitgesloten worden dat het object van nature uit ijs bestaat.
Oumuamua bestaat wellicht uit een ijzig lichaam, zoals verwacht, zegt hij. Maar het lijkt gehuld te zijn in een organische laag die het bevroren water binnenin afschermt voor de zon. 

“We verwachtten dat de meeste objecten die ons zonnestelsel bezoeken uit ijs zouden bestaan”, zegt hij. “Het was dus een raadsel dat het ding eruit zag als een grote rots. We stelden echter vast dat dit object wel degelijk van nature uit ijs kan bestaan. Alleen zagen we geen ijs omdat het honderden miljoenen jaren lang opgewarmd werd door energetische straling tussen de sterren.”

Licht

Het is echter niet zeker dat Oumuamua uit ijs bestaat. De studie concludeert enkel dat dat niet uitgesloten kan worden. 

Het organische omhulsel werd onderzocht door middel van spectroscopie. Daarbij wordt gekeken naar het licht dat gereflecteerd wordt door het oppervlak en dat vervolgens wordt opgedeeld in golflengtes. Op basis van die berekeningen kunnen wetenschappers bepalen waaruit het object zou kunnen bestaan.

Rood

Michele Bannister van dezelfde universiteit paste een andere methode toe voor haar studie: ze observeerde de kleur van Oumuamua. De rots bleek een rode kleur te hebben maar de exacte kleur, die zou kunnen uitwijzen waaruit het hemellichaam bestaat, blijkt te variëren. De eerste observaties toonden een donkere, diepe kleur, terwijl later een meer neutrale kleur werd vastgesteld.

Die neutrale kleuren waren grotendeels in lijn met sommige objecten die we in ons eigen zonnestelsel zien. “Het object komt van ver, maar ziet er heel vertrouwd uit”, zegt Bannister. Maar dat betekent niet dat het resultaat niet verrassend was. “Het was het tegengestelde van wat ik verwachtte te zien.”
Wetenschappers vermoedden al lang dat we soms bezocht worden door dergelijke rotsen die van elders in het heelal ons zonnestelsel komen binnenvallen. We weten immers dat een aanzienlijk aantal kometen en planetoïden uit ons eigen zonnestelsel werden geworpen toen het zich vormde. Het is dus logisch dat hetzelfde gebeurt in andere zonnestelsels.

Maar deze objecten zijn moeilijk te spotten omdat ze zo donker zijn. Het is de eerste keer dat wetenschappers een bezoeker uit een ander zonnestelsel gezien hebben.

Amerikaans leger geeft geheime beelden vrij van UFO die door gevechtspiloten werd gespot - HLN.be

Bron: New York Times, Independent

De gevechtspiloten waren er op uit gestuurd om een onbekend vliegend tuig te gaan onderzoeken terwijl het voor de kust van San Diego hing. De video die het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie vrijgaf is de opname van de reactie van de piloten die het witte ovalen tuig opspoorden. De opnames werden bestudeerd door een geheim team dat tussen 2007 en 2012 meldingen van UFO’s moest onderzoeken. Pas enkele dagen geleden heeft het Pentagon bekend dat het jaarlijks 22 miljoen dollar stak in het Advanced Aviation Threat Identification.

VS betaalden miljoenen voor ufo-onderzoek naar vreemde, vliegende objecten

De beelden die zopas werden vrijgegeven tonen hoe in 2014 een object zo groot als een passagiersvliegtuig werd waargenomen door twee F/A-18 Super Hornets, gevechtsvliegtuigen die vanop het vliegdekschip Nimitz waren opgestegen. 

Commandant David Fravor en luitenant Jim Slaight voerden een routinevlucht uit tijdens een trainingsmissie toen ze de vraag kregen een ‘object’ te gaan onderzoeken. Het object was gespot door het oorlogsschip USS Princeton en vloog op een hoogte van 2.4 km. De Princeton spoorde toen al twee weken mysterieuze vliegende objecten op.

“Kijk eens naar dat ding, maat”, zegt één van de piloten in de clip. “Het is aan het draaien”. Aan The New York Times verklaarde Fravor dat het tuig ongeveer 12 meter lang was, “geen vleugels, rotor of uitlaatpluimen” had en “groot genoeg was om de zee te beroeren toen het 50 meter boven het water hing”.

“Ik heb geen idee wat ik toen heb gezien, ik weet alleen dat het accelereerde als niets wat ik ooit heb gezien”. De piloten kregen vervolgens het bevel naar een zogenaamd ‘cappunt’ te vliegen, ongeveer 100 kilometer verderop. Maar over de radio kregen ze al gauw de melding dat het tuig hen in snelheid had geklopt. “We waren minder dan 60 km verwijderd, maar in minder dan een minuut was dat ding al op ons cappunt”. Het tuig was verdwenen tegen de tijd de piloten daar aankwamen, waarna ze het gebied verlieten. “Het was sneller dan onze F-18′s. Ik wil met zo’n ding vliegen”, zei Fravor.

Mysterie blijft

De oversten van de piloten onderzochten de zaak niet verder en het blijft onduidelijk wat de piloten precies hebben gezien. Volgens experts is er altijd een verklaring voor zogenaamde UFO-waarnemingen, zij waarschuwen dan ook dat het ontbreken van een verklaring nog geen bewijs is van buitenaards leven.

Het Pentagon verklaarde dat het UFO-programma vijf jaar geleden werd geschrapt omdat de overheid andere prioriteiten stelde. Het is echter niet duidelijk of dergelijke UFO-waarnemingen nog onderzocht worden. Volgens betrokkenen bleef het programma in een andere vorm bestaan.

De fondsen voor het UFO-programma van het Pentagon kwamen er aanvankelijk vooral op vraag van de voormalige Democratische senaatsvoorzitter Harry Reid, die bekendstaat om zijn belangstelling voor ruimtefenomenen.

Amerikanen namen “verbluffende” stalen van ufo’s, maar wetenschappers staan voor raadsel -  HLN.be

Bron: The New York Times, MSNBC

Pas recent heeft het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie bekend dat het tussen 2007 en 2012 in het geheim onderzoek deed naar ufo’s. Jaarlijks werd in dat programma 22 miljoen dollar gepompt, volgens insiders loopt het programma in een andere vorm gewoon door. Gisteren gaf het Pentagon dan beelden vrij die twee gevechtspiloten in 2014 maakten van een ufo die voor de kust van San Diego was opgedoken.

Amerikaans leger geeft geheime beelden vrij van UFO die door gevechtspiloten werd gespot

“Ze hebben materiaal verzameld van die onbekende vliegende objecten. Zo hopen ze dat wetenschappers kunnen achterhalen hoe die ufo’s aan hun verbluffende eigenschappen komen”, stelt Ralf Blumenthal, één van de auteurs van het rapport van The New York Times tegenover MSNBC. Blumenthal weet dat het Pentagon nog altijd niet weet uit welk materiaal de stalen zijn samengesteld. “Het is een soort legering die ze niet kennen”, stelt Blumenthal.

Fysieke impact

Wetenschappers hebben ook mensen bestudeerd die beweren dat ze een fysieke impact hebben ervaren bij het waarnemen van onbekende fenomenen in de lucht.

Een voordien geheim gehouden video van het Pentagon toont hoe gevechtspiloten van de zeemacht verbaasd reageren wanneer ze een mysterieus vliegend object observeren. Dat object had het formaat van een passagiersvliegtuig en accelereerde volgens de piloten ongezien hard.

“Voorlopig weet niemand wat het was”, stelt Blumenthal. “Onderzoekers probeerden te achterhalen hoe die tuigen worden aangedreven en poogden hun fenomenale aerodynamica te ontrafelen, maar ze raken er niet uit”.

Buitenaards leven? Hoogstwaarschijnlijk

De man die het Pentagon-onderzoeksprogramma naar UFO’s leidde laat intussen weten dat er hoogstwaarschijnlijk buitenaards leven bestaat.

“Persoonlijk geloof ik dat er heel overtuigend bewijs is dat we wellicht niet alleen zijn in het universum”, zei Luis Elizondo gisteravond op CNN.

Elizondo verklaarde dat hij niet meer voor de Amerikaans overheid werkt. Volgens het defensieministerie werd het programma opgedoekt in 2012, maar The Times haalt bronnen aan die stellen dat het nog altijd loopt.

“Ik kan je onomstotelijk zeggen dat deze toestellen kenmerken hebben die we in de VS en in de rest van de wereld niet begrijpen”, zei Elizondo nog.

Elizondo verklaarde aan The Times dat hij in oktober ontslag nam als hoofd van het onderzoeksprogramma en dat er een opvolger voor hem werd aangesteld.

Unexplained booms have been one of the most prevalent unexplained phenomena of this year. While mysterious explosions in the sky are nothing new, they’ve been occurring with increasing regularity lately. The latest mystery booms happened this week over Tampa, Florida and was strong enough to shake houses across three different counties. Tampa resident Fred Krauer Jr. told the Tampa Bay Times that his home was rattled by the boom which left a disconcerting silence in its wake:

It sounded like a plane had crashed. I felt it in my feet in the shower. It’s a little unnerving, as with anything with the unknown. If we don’t have the answer for something, your mind starts reaching.

Spokespersons for six different government agencies claimed they were not responsible and had no knowledge whatsoever of the cause of the boom. Northern Florida is home to MacDill Air Force Base, Eglin Air Force Base, Tyndall Air Force Base, the 45th Space Wing, and Kennedy Space Center, so initial speculation centered around military activity in the area. However, MacDill AFB spokesperson Terry Montrose said there are “no records of fighters in the area.” An interesting choice of words – stating only that there were no fighters in the area leaves open the possibility that there could have been other type of aircraft overhead.

Tampa is no stranger to military activity overhead.

What’s more, the Tampa Bay Times reports that a Canadian Air Force spokesperson speaking on behalf of NORAD said that two aircraft were cleared to break the sound barrier over the Gulf of Mexico. All signs point to the likelihood that this was a military exercise of some kind, and the silence of officials in the area indicates it was classified or otherwise hush-hush. Given all of the anomalous aircraft sightings and strange activityspotted at known top secret test sites, could these booms be merely a further sign of recent military aircraft testing? Given that mystery booms pre-date the invention of aircraft, however, there could be more anomalous explanations. Is secretive military testing just a convenient scapegoat for something stranger or darker? Is there such a thing?

The recent announcement by the Pentagon that it ran a secretive UAP/UFO program has hit the UFO community like a wave. The news followed a New York Times article which featured a $20 million-dollar program designed to investigate UFO reports and a 30-second video taken by an F-18 Super Hornet’s gun camera, and features the pilot’s audible reactions to an anomalous object they were tracking. While all this new information raises many questions, the biggest one is how will UFO lore and mythology change as a result?

Tom DeLonge’s To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science, has this latest video posted on its website, alongside testimony from fighter pilots regarding another UFO sighting and gun camera video from 2004.

Suffice it to say, most major news outlets have picked up this story, and various UFO circles are in a tizzy. The excitement and the tension is palpable, but like all such events, we must be cautious. The UFO subculture, that nebulous group of individuals who engage with UFO discourse and debate, have been duped before. Furthermore, the ‘truth’ will mix with the fiction, and out of this relationship, more Ufological mythology will be born.

Thirty years ago, the infamous Majestic 12, or MJ-12 documents surfaced. In a series of books and conference lectures between 1987 and 1989, these documents were touted as being real proof of a governmental cover-up, crashed flying saucers, and even aliens hidden in underground bases. Almost immediately after their release to the broader UFO community and the general public, the documents were identified as elaborate hoaxes and potentially disinformation documents created by the intelligence community. While their validity is no longer in question, as they are definitely fraudulent, the mythology that they generated within UFO circles still exists.

If one dares to venture into the depths of the UFO subculture, questions, conversations and debates still rage on concerning hidden underground military bases in New Mexico, crashed flying discs and the recovery of extraterrestrial bodies. Furthermore, digging deeper, one will find significant connections between the major Ufological players involved in releasing these documents, and the intelligence community.

As George P. Hansen points out in his book, The Trickster and the Paranormal,

MJ-12, or a similar group by any other name, became a centrepiece of theorizing by UFOlogists. It established a governing paradigm for many researchers. They gathered snippets of evidence and tried fitting them into this framework.

Only a couple years previously, Paul Bennewitz and his interactions with various intelligence officials with the American government, also focused upon a similar thematic line; secret government bases, alien abductions, cattle mutilations, and a plot to slowly invade the planet via genetic manipulation. These motifs within UFO discourse still exist today, and many buy into them outright. Furthermore, they have become part of the subcultural landscape, taken for granted, mythologized, televised and reprinted ad infinitum as legitimate Ufological theory. Everyone seems to ignore the source of these myths, a government-sponsored campaign cloaked in a noble call to ‘tell the truth’ but used to potentially establish ideology and lore to move the UFO debate and community towards certain realities versus others.

While the MJ-12 and Bennewitz affairs are perhaps the most famous events which highlight known governmental influence upon UFO mythology, there have been other cases of potential meddling.

Michael Swords, in his book, UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry, points to the fact that NICAP, The National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, had a member by the name of Colonel Joseph Bryan III. He eventually became a board member, and shortly thereafter, became the Board chair. He forced Donald Keyhoe, NICAP’s long-standing director and founder, to retire in 1969 and disbanded the organization. Bryan was a respected Air Force officer; however, he also was a CIA operative who was high up in the intelligence agency’s psychological warfare department.

It may be silly to assume that the CIA was involved in the destruction of NICAP. Most UFO organizations tend to suffer from significant infighting and members with inflated egos, so they need little help in destroying themselves, however, it does show that members of the intelligence world at least play the UFO game.

It is too early to begin ranting about some grand conspiracy concerning this recent release of information from the Pentagon, which may have somehow been motivated by To the Stars Academy. This has not stopped some from doing so, however, such as documentarian and researcher Dr Steven Greer, who was considered to be an ‘insider’ for quite some time now, is clearly on the ‘outs.’

Good while it lasted, I suppose.

Is this a Version 2.0 government-sponsored disinformation campaign similar to MJ-12? Is this a social assessment, a psychological ‘proving ground’ to ascertain the public’s propensity for belief, and methods on how to best dupe them for other, potentially nefarious and down to earth, reasons? Do these ‘advanced aerial threats’ reinforce the ‘extraterrestrial hypothesis’ and shut out other potential theories regarding the UFO question? How will this affect all those individuals within the UFO community who do not consider the UFO phenomenon a threat, but rather a positive interaction with another intelligence? What of all those alien abductees who have allegedly come face to face with this benevolent intelligence? Will this announcement further entrench the UFO subculture in the darkness of the social fringe? Or, will it bring the UFO community out into the light, where the academic and scientific communities will finally accept the potential for strange and supernatural aerial events that cannot be attributed to human engineering?

While that last one is a stretch, these questions are all on the tips of the subcultural tongue.

The fundamental questions we must ask, however, are what narratives are being created by the UFO community, and about the UFO community as a result of this ‘UAPgate.’ What ideology will be generated and reinforced during the next several days and weeks? What lore and mythologies are being created in the wake of this new information? Finally, who in the community is being silenced by this loud gong?

No one can predict the direct mythological and ideological outcomes of this story.  That being said, it all hovers around the American government and military, organizations that have not enjoyed the UFO community’s trust over the last several decades. Oddly enough, the direct result of the MJ-12 documents and the Bennewitz affair was basically an open call to cease putting one’s faith in the government, as they were involved in some pretty dubious shenanigans and conspiracies. However, in some strange twist of Ufological irony, many members of the community have total trust in this new information, suddenly putting blind confidence in an archetypal enemy of the UFO subculture.

It is too early to know whether this information is totally open and honest. The UFO community has been tricked before, and as the old saying goes, “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” Will this event shift the entire UFO discourse? Perhaps, for the time being anyway. As one UFO enthusiast put it on Facebook concerning this announcement, “I’m feeling optimistic for a change…”

Perhaps the best approach is with caution, an open-mind, but caution. However, what we can assume is that the cause of this information release, the cast of characters behind this event, all have agendas. They are playing the UFO game, we just don’t know what rules they are playing by. History has taught us that when individuals from the government and the intelligence community play the game, they play to win.

Humans Attack Security Robot in San Francisco

While this story sounds like it might be called “The Empire Strikes Back,” unfortunately the root of this lashing out against robot overlords had little to do with revolution … at least against robot overlords. Over the past month, a security robot hired/rented to protect the puppies and the employees at the San Francisco SPCA has been battered with barbecue sauce, fouled with feces, trapped under a tarp and bumped over by a bully. While the dedicated robot wants to keep working, the SPCA decided to place it on permanent leave. Why did this robot rouse the rowdies in San Francisco?

The program started with good intentions, according to the San Francisco Business Journal. The S.F. SPCA takes up an entire block in the Mission District, an area known for crime, car and building break-ins, drug use and informal encampments for homeless people. Jennifer Scarlett, the S.F. SPCA’s president, thought she had found a way to protect her employees at a low cost. She hired a K5 security robot from Knightscope, changed its name to a more appropriate K9 and put it to work on the SPCA’s perimeter. The K9 had an immediate effect on the grounds:

“We weren’t able to use the sidewalks at all when there’s needles and tents and bikes, so from a walking standpoint I find the robot much easier to navigate than an encampment.”

Is this the future of security?

That comment connecting the security robot to the homeless encampment is the one that started the backlash. As is the case these days, death threats were made towards the robot and it was vandalized and attacked, which is not a smart thing to do since K9/K5 weighed 398-pounds and was equipped with cameras, proximity sensors, wireless signal detectors and alarms. All that for only $6 an hour, which is far less than the $14 minimum wage in San Francisco … inciting more hatred of the robot for taking jobs that those homeless people could do.

Some local residents who encountered the K9 robot took the non-violent route and complained to City Hall about things like the robot blocking sidewalks and scaring dogs. That prompted the Department of Public Works to warn the SPCA that K9 was operating “without a proper approval” and they needed to take it off the sidewalks or face a fine. That worked better than the feces and K9 was laid off.

The robot took it well (another K5 “committed suicide” earlier this year in a fountain in Washington DC) and will probably be reassigned to another security job. Unfortunately for the protesters, even though Scarlett acknowledges the plight of the homeless and unemployed in the Mission District, but will not be hiring a human replacement. In fact, she sees robots coming back eventually.

“In five years we will look back on this and think, ‘We used to take selfies with these because they were so new.’”

Do you agree? Are robots inevitable and on the road to being friendly sidewalk sharers or is this just part of their master takeover plan?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but am I the only one who is not overwhelmed by the new revelations concerning UFOs and the U.S. Government? In fact, I have to say that I’m completely underwhelmed by it all. Now, yes, it is undeniably interesting that there should have been a program, one which was carefully not revealed for years – at least, not to the public and the media. Until now, that is, as a result of the revelations of a few days ago that appeared in the New York Times. See this link.

Yes, all of this demonstrates that there are those within government who have an interest in UFOs, and to the point where they were willing to fund a program to re-address UFOs, decades after the Air Force’s UFO program, Project Blue Book, was shut down (in 1969). But, let’s take a look at what the new revelations really tell us. As we are told, the only reason why the program ever existed in the first place was because Senator Harry Reid (having a deep and personal interest in the UFO phenomenon) pushed and pushed the government to take a new and renewed look at the subject.

As a result of Senator Reid’s actions, yes, the program was created. But, as the New York Times makes it clear to us, the bulk of the money went to, and I quote the newspaper, “an aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s, Robert Bigelow…” So, the government was not planning on readdressing the UFO phenomenon until Senator Reid made an approach. And yes, the government finally decided to do something – and what they did was to provide most of the the funding to the aerospace research company of a friend of Reid. But, when it comes to the matter of the overall, annual U.S. Department of Defense budget, that figure was minuscule. If this really was a top secret UFO program, far more money would have been channeled into it, and we would not be hearing about it at all.

I have had people contact me to say that all of this is evidence of secret UFO programs and (as one person put it to me) “the new inheritors of MJ12.” Well, for a start, the MJ12 saga is bullshit and something which kept Ufology busy for not just years but for decades. And where has it led us? Nowhere, that’s where. Now, I don’t dispute the possibility that there could be top secret UFO programs hidden deep in the heart of the government, the military and/or the intelligence community. In fact, I would be very surprised if such things don’t exist.

But, a project that only existed because a senator kept trying to make it happen – followed by the government finally dishing out the money outside of government – does not sound like a top secret program of highly-classified proportions. And certainly not one which had access to alien bodies and crashed UFOs, as a Facebook friend suggested to me -in all seriousness – just a few hours ago. Let’s keep all of this in perspective: government agencies often throw money at outside enterprises and for all sorts of reasons. And, yes, the existence of the program is usually not spoken about. At least, not until it surfaces into the public domain – as was the case this past weekend.

So, yes, I do find the latest news to be slightly intriguing. But, look at how the group came together, look at how the Government largely handed the work outside, and look at the fact that it was all shut down after half a decade. What we see is the kind of thing that goes on all the time in government. What we’re not seeing is evidence of “the U.S. Government’s Top Secret UFO Project.”

Such a program might exist, but this wasn’t it.

Time Traveler Reveals Map of the United States After Catastrophes

Al Bielek was born in 1927. While working for various military contractors, the people who worked with him began to reveal the truth about the US government’s involvement with extraterrestrials and PSYOPS (Psychological Operations) programs. Strange things started to happen to him soon afterwards.

Recruited into the “Montauk Project,” Bielek said he worked his normal day job in California, and then would take a highly classified underground magnetic levitation subway train from Los Angeles to Montauk.

The Montauk Project is an alleged series of secret United States government projects conducted at Camp Hero or Montauk Air Force Station on Montauk, Long Island, for the purpose of developing psychological warfare techniques and exotic research including time travel.

In the 1980's when the time control programs were operational, Al Bielek's duties were to handle the operations of the Mind Control program as well as he participated in some of the time travel experiments.

Both he and Duncan who was one of the Montauk Boys programmers under Al Bielek traveled to Mars on several occasions.

During a mind control/time travel session he got visions of major catastrophes to our planet especially to the United States. His visions have been worked out on a map which shows that in the future large parts of the U.S. will be under water.

Besides the visions of many other futurists of what the United States will look like in the future, probably the most appealing vision came from the American psychic Edgar Cayce called "The Sleeping Prophet" who received a message which was transmitted while he was in a sleep-like trance that the earth will be broken up in many places whereby many portions of the East Coast and West Coast, as well as the central portion of the United States will be under water.

Al Bielek as well as Edgar Cayce both received the messages/visions at the time they were in an altered state of consciousness. Such a state of awareness opens a gate to visual experiences other than normal waking consciousness.

Alien Hunter Reveals the Most Disturbing Part of the Pentagon's UFO Program

US fighter pilot about a UFO: “It accelerated like nothing I’ve ever seen”

Close encounters of pilots are among the most reliable testimonies about the presence of UFOs in our skies, and some of the most incredible accounts of UFO sightings come from pilots who spent thousands of hours in the air.

This is because pilots are highly trained to differentiate and evaluate what they see in their field of work.

Recently, the prestigious newspaper The New York Times published an interview in which the crew of two fighter-bombers F-18 Hornet of the United States Navy recounted a strange chapter that occurred in 2004, in which they saw what seemed to be an unusual flying craft, they could not identify.

Officers David Fravor and Jim Slaight were on a training mission over the Pacific, about 160 kilometers from the coast when they received a radio message on their F / A-18F Super Hornet fighter-bomber.

A USS Princeton cruise officer asked them if the plane carried weapons on board.

“Two CATM-9s,” Fravor responded, referring to referring to dummy missiles that could not be fired.

Clearly, no one expected that in the middle of November 2004 there would be a threat off the coasts of California.

As noted by the New York Times, and as we can see in the video, Fravor recalled the words of the radio operator that came later:

“Well, we have a vector for you.”

Curiously, the USS Princeton had been following a strange contact for two weeks, consisting of what appeared to be several ‘objects’ that suddenly appeared at high altitude, about 24,000 meters, and then launched into the sea, stopping and hovering about six kilometers from the water.

After that, the contacts disappeared from the radar without a clear explanation.

Fravor and Slaight tried to investigate the contact, so they turned towards finding the Unidentified Flying Object.

When the control informed them that they were already in position, they discovered that there was nothing in sight or within reach of the F-18’s radar.

Then, Fravor relates that below, an oval object appeared leaving a trail behind it. The object measured about 12 meters and seemed to fly up and down erratically, without moving in a particular direction.

It had a whitish appearance reminiscent of foam or boiling water, the pilot recalls.

Cautious, the crew of the fighter-bomber began a gentle descent towards the object. But, suddenly, the “thing” began to ascend towards them, so Fravor decided to start a direct descent towards the UFO.

But then, the object abandoned its trajectory.

“It accelerated like nothing I’ve seen,” says Fravor in the interview. As he remembers, he was “quite overwhelmed.”

After losing contact, the USS Princeton gave them a meeting point, called the cap point, in aviation parlance, almost 100 kilometers away.

While in-route, the Princeton radioed again.

Radar had again picked up the strange aircraft once again.

“Sir, you won’t believe it,” the radio operator said, “but that thing is at your cap point.”

According to Fravor, the object had taken less than a minute to travel 100 kilometers.

This raises the question of what type of ‘aircraft’ can outperform an F18, and travel at such speeds as if the laws of aerodynamics had no influence whatsoever over it?

When they reached the point, there was no sign of the UFO, so Fravor and Slaight returned to the aircraft carrier they had left, the USS Nimitz.

According to the pilots, their superiors did not open an investigation to study what happened, but his fellow pilots soon laughed at him when they learned of the strange encounter.

When a colleague asked Fravor what he had seen that day, he replied:

“I have no idea. It had no feathers, wings or rotors and was much faster than our F-18.”

He added: “I want to fly one.”

Does this video, and statement from the pilots suggest the UFO presence is real? And that we are being visited, contacted and monitored by entities, not from Earth? According to millions of people around the globe, this video, in addition to countless other materials is the ultimate proof that Alien spacecraft have been visiting our planet for decades.

Maybe, after all, UFO disclosure is near.

The Pentagon spent $ 22 million on a Secret Program to study UFOs

According to newly declassified materials, the Pentagon spent at least $22 million dollars researching the UFO phenomena in a secret program that existed for at least three years, reports the NY Times.

So, the logical question here is, if UFO’s aren’t real? Why on Earth would anyone in their right mind spend $22 million dollars investigating something that’s not real?

It is believed that from 2008 through 2011, the Pentagon secretly spent a budget of at least $22 million dollars on a program that specifically investigated unidentified flying objects; The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. This secret program as supposedly shut down in 2012. The secret program was run by a military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring, deep within the building’s maze, reports the NY Times.

This is the first time that the Pentagon has acknowledged the existence of the secret program, and UFO hunters around the world rejoice as they see this as a sign that UFO disclosure is near.

Elizondo resigned his post in October because of his frustration over the lack of funds and the Pentagon’s attention to his efforts, according to the report.

This shows that the Pentagon has had a great interest in UFO’s for many years and that the government has allocated a very large budget in hopes o understanding what UFO’s really are.

The declassified papers also show that the UFO phenomenon is not something new and that the government has been researching it for decades while keeping all information hidden away from the general public.

In the resignation letter that Elizondo sent to Secretary of Defense James Mattis, according to The Time, he stated that the government should take the matter seriously.

“Despite overwhelming evidence at both the classified and unclassified levels, certain individuals in the [Defense] Department remain staunchly opposed to further research on what could be a tactical threat to our pilots, sailors and soldiers, and perhaps even an existential threat to our national security,” Elizondo wrote in a resignation letter to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, the Post reported.

Elizondo added that “there remains a vital need to ascertain capability and intent of these phenomena for the benefit of the armed forces and the nation.”

We must not forget that the Air Force has looked into the UFO phenomena before. As part of the so-called Project Blue Book program, the Air Force investigated UFO’s between 1947 and 1969 guttering thousands of documents on unidentified aerial vehicles.

In 1947, In 1947, the U.S. Air Force launched Project Sign with the goal of the collecting, collating, evaluating and distributing within the government all the information related to UFO sightings, under the premise that UFOs could be real and due to national security concerns”.

The project determined that while UFO’s appeared to represent actual aircraft, there was not enough data to determine their origin.

Space radiation might cause bone loss in astronauts

BY TIBI PUIU 

Astronauts living aboard the International Space Station may experience bone and muscle loss due to the combined effects of microgravity and radiation, scientists report. The findings have important implications for how NASA engineers plan on mitigating the effects of radiation for upcoming deep-space missions such as a manned trip to Mars.

Like muscles, bone is a dynamic tissue which adapts to demand. If there’s frequently increased load, bones will grow bigger to meet this demand. In a weightless environment, however, muscles will atrophy and bones will lose density. What’s more, radiation also seems to play a role in bone density loss but not in muscle atrophy, a recent study funded by NASA informs.

Researchers led by Henry Donahue from Virginia Commonwealth University studied mice whose movements were restricted, thereby simulating microgravity. Another group of mice were left to roam freely while being exposed to radiation of the kind experienced in space.

“Radiation plus microgravity amplifies the negative effect of microgravity on bone, but does not affect muscle loss,” Donahue said in a statement. “It’s as if exposure to radiation itself doesn’t affect bone, but it makes it more sensitive to the negative effects of microgravity.”

Donahue says that loss of bone and muscle experienced by astronauts is similar to what doctors see in aging people. Older people, he said, “fall more, they break their bones more.” In the future, understanding how microgravity impacts human biology might reveal important insight regarding the effects aging has on muscle and bone.

Sadly, this is more bad news for manned space flight. Previously, scientists at the University of California, Irvine, found mice exposed to space radiation experienced cognitive decline, accompanied by changes in the structure and integrity of brain nerve cells and the synapses.

Charles Limoli, a scientist at the University of California, Irvine, previously found similar kinds of brain damage in cancer patients who had received high-dose, photon-based radiation treatments. The oncologist says that astronauts would require months and months worth of exposure to deep space radiation for brain damage to occur. Considering the shortest one-way trip to Mars lasts 260 days, that’s cause for worry.

“Exposure to these particles can lead to a range of potential central nervous system complications that can occur during and persist long after actual space travel – such as various performance decrements, memory deficits, anxiety, depression and impaired decision-making,” said Limoli.

No escaping radiation

Now, we know that radiation will also incur an additional bone loss in astronauts. Deep space radiation is an unsolved problem, as no amount of shielding can block off highly energetic space rays from penetrating a spaceship.

The effects of weightlessness are also problematic. Besides incurring significant muscle and bone loss after only a couple of weeks spent in space, microgravity also impairs vision byliterally deforming the eyeball. Other, more subtle effects, include genes that turn on and off (with unclear consequences at this point) and longer telomeres (which slow down chromosome deterioration).

To counter the bone and muscle loss, since 2008, astronauts aboard the ISS have been using the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED), which allows them to simulate free-weight exercises in normal gravity. Each astronaut has an allocated exercise time of two hours a day in space. But despite exercise, it still takes months of rehabilitation to adjust when returning to Earth after a typical six-month space mission.
