US military loses contact with hypersonic aircraft

The HTV-2 is designed by engineers to travel at 13,000mph (21,000km/h)

US military scientists lost contact with an unmanned hypersonic experimental aircraft on its second test flight, officials said.

The Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle 2 (HTV-2) successfully separated from its rocket but lost contact shortly into its "glide phase".The plane is designed to travel at Mach 20, or 20 times the speed of sound.

The Falcon project is part of the US defence department's plans to develop a rapid-strike weapons system.

A hypersonic plane could potentially enable the US military to hit targets anywhere in the world in under an hour.

Highly complex

The HTV-2 - shaped like the tip of a spear - took off atop a Minotaur IV rocket from Vanderberg Air Force Base in California early on Thursday.

It was propelled to the edges of space where it then separated from the rocket.

The aim by engineers was that it would glide back to Earth at 13,000mph (21,000km/h) - enduring temperatures in excess of 3,500F (2,000C) - before plunging into the Pacific Ocean.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), which is funding the HTV-2 programme and overseeing the tests, said more than nine minutes of data was collected "before an anomaly caused loss of signal".

"Initial indications are that the aircraft impacted the Pacific Ocean along the planned flight path," Darpa said in a statement on its website.

An HTV-2 plane was first tested last year, and ended with the craft crashing into the Pacific after the military lost contact with the glider nine minutes into the flight.

However, the flight still managed to return 139 seconds of aerodynamic data at a velocity between 17 and 22 times the speed of sound, Darpa said.

"We know how to boost the aircraft to near space," Maj Chris Schulz, the programme manager, was quoted as saying on Darpa's website.

"We know how to insert the aircraft into atmospheric hypersonic flight. We do not yet know how to achieve the desired control during the aerodynamic phase of flight. It's vexing; I'm confident there is a solution. We have to find it."

Maj Shulz said a team of experts would now analyse the flight data and expand "our technical understanding of this incredibly harsh flight regime".

Some analysts say a second uncompleted flight could force Darpa to rethink the entire project, the BBC's Marcus George in Washington reports.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

SIGHTINGS INCREASE WORLDWIDE

National UFO Reporting Center 643 in July 'Freaked out' BBC reporter Mike Sewell tells millions of radio listeners of the moment he faced a UFO

Timothy Good sent this article about a Disc-shaped' aircraft that hovered over village in Hertfordshire dated August 4, 2011.

Radio 5 Live broadcasts journalist's claims to millions. It's a radio station known for irreverent chat, where current affairs and topical discussion reign supreme. But Radio 5 Live took on a more otherworldly tone this morning when one of its own sports reporters claimed he had a close brush with a UFO. 'Freaked out' sports journalist Mike Sewell said he was left gob smacked when he spotted a huge 'disc-shaped' aircraft hovering above the Hertfordshire countryside on his way to work in the early hours of the morning.

BBC Sports journalist Mike Sewell says he saw a disc-shaped craft hovering over a Hertfordshire village.

Mr Sewell was driving from his home in the Midlands to catch an early morning flight from Stansted airport when he saw the UFO in the night sky over the village of Cottered, near Buntingford, he claimed. He called his employers at Radio 5 Live and his interview with presenter Nicky Campbell was broadcast to millions of listeners. He said: 'I was probably about 15 or 20 miles from Stansted at 4.15 AM, there was this big bright light in the sky descending towards the road. 'As it got closer it then banked to the left, and as it banked to the left and went across the countryside I could see underneath it. 'It wasn't an aeroplane, and it wasn't a helicopter. Certainly of a kind of - and I dread saying this - disc shape. It had several lights flashing all around it.

The extraordinary revelations were broadcast on Nicky Campbell's show (pictured left)

Lights, 'Underneath there were at least two large panel lights, soft white and then it just sat or circled a certain area above the field for a few moments. 'I was so gob smacked; I was trying to negotiate the road, which was a small country lane. Eventually I dropped down and lost sight of it but certainly for two or three minutes I saw what, I think, was not a normal aeroplane.'

The well-respected reporter, who was flying to Sweden said, "A van driver in front of him also saw the UFO. He added: 'I'd love the person who was driving in front of me in what looked like a VW silver transporter to contact the police or yourselves [the radio station] because they saw it as well. 'I was wide awake and I'm of sound mind. I was completely freaked out by it. This was a long way from Stanstead airport - and the aircraft was going westerly rather than easterly towards Stansted. 'It was not the shape of a normal aircraft it was a big disc, round-shaped craft and it didn't leave. 'I watched it for two or three minutes before I eventually lost sight of it. I decided to go back again through the village. It's a very quiet area and I've spoken to someone who knows it very well and they said there's no military installations in that area so I would be intrigued to hear if anybody else saw it.'

UFO expert Timothy Good (pictured) said, "Mr Sewell's sighting was 'absolutely fascinating' and was 'clearly not a conventional aircraft of any type'. During the interview on Radio 5 Live, which followed his sports report, he added: 'I'm most impressed, I wish I'd seen it myself. I would assume that a number of other people would have seen this object. 'It might be extra terrestrial; it might well be one of ours. Top secret aircraft and spacecraft have been flown by the U.S. military and by the British military for quite some time now.

'As Ben Rich said, who developed the stealth aircraft back in 1993 in the presence of two friends of mine: "We now have the technology to go to the stars". And that was back in 1993.' When Mr Good was asked to elaborate on where this technology came from, he replied: 'Alien crafts. The studies of alien crafts that have been recovered and by liaising with actual aliens who have helped us develop this technology. 'Thanks to Timothy Good and Daily Mail Reporter.

Mysterious UFO-like Object Spotted on Baltic Sea Floor

Amanda Kooser Crave writes, "Sometimes it's hard to remember just where you parked your UFO. Paging Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, we need you at the Baltic Sea as soon as possible. In what sounds like an opening for the next X-Files movie, an ocean salvage exploration company found an object on the floor of the Baltic Sea that looks an awful lot like a UFO. The sonar images are vague at best, but the object still bears an uncanny resemblance to the outline of the Millennium Falcon.

The images come courtesy of the Ocean Explorer team, an experienced group of Swedish salvagers that already raised an impressive collection of rare and very expensive champagne from the watery depths. Expedition leader Peter Lindberg notes that the mystery object is 60 meters across. Lines in the ocean floor next to it almost look like a skidded landing area. Chances are that the discovery has a much less titillating explanation than coming from another planet. It could be a sunken vessel or a flooded archeological site. There will be no answers until the team goes in for a closer look.

The Ocean Explorer team, an experienced group of Swedish salvagers, plans to revisit the area where the object was discovered.

With so much excitement and donations coming in, the team is planning to revisit the area.

Largest Solar Flare in Four Years

On Tuesday, August 9, 2011 a solar flare larger than earth exploded on the sun. Fortunately, it was not facing toward us. More are expected that could disrupt our satellites. Thanks to NASA

Flowing Water and a Little Face on Mars

A new discovery of potential liquid water on Mars within Newton Crater last week is making waves in the science world. This is more evidence for liquid water, as opposed to ice, and it's on the Martian surface, as opposed to miles underground where it would be difficult to verify its presence. Summer temperatures can reach above 80 degrees at the surface. The research is based on observations by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which observed seasonal changes in slopes carved into the planet's surface that appear most likely to have been formed by flowing water.

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin Apollo 11 Communion Kit

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first men to walk on the Moon in the Apollo 11 space mission. Michael Collins third member of the group was in charge of the Command and Service Module, essential for their return to Earth, which circled the Moon while Armstrong and Aldrin landed. The Moon lander touched down at 3:17 Eastern Standard Time, Sunday, July 20, 1969. Aldrin had brought with him a tiny, given him by his church that had a silver chalice and wine vial about the size of the tip of his finger. During the morning he radioed, "Houston, this is Eagle. This is the LM pilot speaking. I would like to request a few moments of silence. I would like to invite each person listening in, whoever or wherever he may be, to contemplate for a moment the events of the last few hours, and to give thanks in his own individual way."

"In the radio blackout," he wrote later, "I opened the little plastic packages which contained the bread and the wine. I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of the moon, the wine slowly curled and gracefully came up the side of the cup. Then I read the Scripture, 'I am the vine, you are the branches. Whosoever abides in me will bring forth much fruit.' I had intended to read my communion passage back to Earth, but at the last minute Deke Slayton had requested that I not do this. NASA was already embroiled in a legal battle with Madelyn Murray O'Hare, the celebrated opponent of religion, over the Apollo 8 crew reading from Genesis while orbiting the Moon at Christmas. I agreed reluctantly..." "Eagle's metal body creaked. I ate the tiny Host and swallowed the wine. I gave thanks for the intelligence and spirit that had brought two young pilots to the Sea of Tranquility. It was interesting for me to think: the very first liquid ever poured on the Moon, and the very first food eaten there, were the communion elements."

UFO Cults Inspired Adolf Hitler

When Adolf Hitler spread his message of hatred, genocide, and oppression, as having been "inspired by a blond race of superhuman warriors referred to as "Aryans, it is assumed through historical accounts that this was simply the contrived mythology of a "madman. This same account omit representation that Adolf Hitler was a member of demonic UFO cult worshipping cabals, and was an apparent UFO contactee, by the same Extraterrestrial group which Hitler sought to glorify. "The Nazis themselves claimed that an extraterrestrial society was the source of their ideology and the power behind their organization, LINK. Nazi mysticism, indeed, was reportedly a direct product of cult worship to Manipulative Extraterrestrials. The "Nazis referred to their hidden extraterrestrial masters as underground "supermen. Hitler believed in the "supermen and claimed that he had once met one of them, as did other members of the Thule leadership. LINK

Some reports also allege that Adolf Hitler escaped capture by the U.S. and its Allies with the assistance of Manipulative Extraterrestrials. Indeed historical records affirm that Hitler was never found by the Allies. His suicide was originally concocted to quell mass concern that such an individual could have escaped to pursue another World War. Indeed reports suggest that Nazis were preparing for World War III, before the dust hardly settled with their "temporary setback of World War II defeat.

The Nazis said that their "supermen resided beneath the Earth's surface and were the creators of "the Aryan race. Aryans therefore in Adolf Hitler's reasoning, constituted the world's only "pure race and all other people were viewed as "inferior genetic mutations. The Nazis under the reported guidance of Manipulative Extraterrestrials planned to "re-purify humanity by committing genocide against anyone who was not an Aryan. Top Nazi leaders believed that the underground "supermen would return to the surface of the Earth to rule it as soon as the Nazis began their racial purification program and established the Thousand Year Reich.

These Nazi beliefs are very similar to other religions apparently also guided by Manipulative Extraterrestrials that teach people to prepare for the future return of supernatural beings who will reign over a "Utopian Earth. As in other such religions, the coming of the Nazi "supermen would coincide with a great final "divine judgment. Nazi mysticism indeed earned the support of Christian leaders, who shared what Gnostic referred to as influence by demonic consciousness linked to a "false God. Of the "divine judgment, Hitler had declared in court during his early Nazi days: The [Nazi] army we have formed is growing from day to day. I nourish the proud hope that one day the hour will come when these rough companies will grow into battalions, the battalions to regiments, the regiments to divisions, that the old cockade [ribbon or rosette worn on a hat as a badge] will be taken from the mud, that the old flags will wave again, that there will be a reconciliation at the last great divine judgment which we are prepared to face. ref. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/

Critical historical accounts have linked Adolf Hitler, and other high ranking Nazis as having communicated with self-anointed "Nordic gods who were a part constituency of Manipulative Extraterrestrials which to Gnostics disciples of Jesus were identified as "demons. This is where the "National Socialist image of the ideal man/woman and the program of eugenics apparently originated. Adolf Hitler was apparently ordered to infiltrate the National Socialist German Workers Party; in order to counter anti-military sentiments of the defeated working class, into a populist movement which in turn would worship the demonic consciousnesses of Manipulative Extraterrestrials.

Though he lost the war, eventually, Manipulative Extraterrestrials apparently communicated with Nazis that "those chosen by Satan will follow with success in establishing a "Fourth Reich. "Four is the number of Satan/Enki. Hitler saw the ideal human in Satan and his demons that are of the extra-terrestrial race that looked like human beings with very tall statures, light blonde hair and blue eyes.

Nazi technology is also alleged to have been disseminated under guidance by Manipulative Extraterrestrials. "the Nazis had everything before any other country; they had radar in 1933, infra-red sensors, V-2 Rockets, discs, etc. If anyone in the world had access to alien' technology it was the Nazis. ref. http://www.dailygrail.com/node/684

In 1952, Dwight D. Eisenhower said: "We have been unable to unearth one bit of tangible evidence of Hitler's death. Snip. An article in November, 1949, says "The Nazis went underground, May 16, 1943! Michael Bar-Zohar in "The Avengers, p. 99, said in 1943, Admiral Doenitz had declared: "The German U-boat fleet is proud to have made an earthly paradise, an impregnable fortress for the Fuhrer, somewhere in the world. He did not say in what part of the world it existed, but fairly obviously it was in South America.

If one accepts the report that Nazi Germany as having been influenced by Manipulative Extraterrestrials, then it is plausible that indoctrinated followers of Manipulative Extraterrestrials may have been granted similar access to such advanced technologies. Such technological access would help Nazis realize their reportedly sought ambitions to seek to reclaim a global conquest in a sought World War III. Thanks to Canadian National News

Sightings of UFOs in the United States

California Light

San Diego -- My husband, I & some neighbors saw a reddish orange colored light that was roundish on July 27, 2011, at 8:30 PM. It looked like it was going from the south to the north, but it is hard to tell if it was headed upward or not. I took a photo, but it is awful. The photo doesn't look anything like it did seen by the eye. The light was flickering until it disappeared. It didn't look like a flare. The photos are pretty bad, but it is better than nothing. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Florida Three Lights

ST. Petersburg -- On August 4, 2011
2:40 to 3 AM, I was outside of my friend's house and we were talking about the whole aliens and 2012 theories and what we would do and as I looked up I saw 3 blue lights. They were the brightest that I have ever seen. They hovered then took off in a straight path and disappeared. I have never seen anything like it. I felt fear overcome me that I have never felt before. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Florida Orange Light

Daytona Beach -- I was sitting on the shore of the ocean on July 24, 2011, at 3 AM, and got a creepy feeling about sharks and stuff at night. I was with my sister Rachel, her friend Kenley, and Jess when a huge roach ran over Rachel's legs. We were all laughing when I looked out over the ocean and noticed a bright orange light. I thought it was a boat that was coming closer to shore. It slowly moved across the ocean and lined up straight with us. It wasn't bobbing so it would have to have been a massive boat. It seemed to get brighter and started getting bigger and almost looked like the moon. It was crescent shaped and had another piece right above it and something was in front of it. I wasn't picking it up on my camera. It sat in front of us for quite some time before it started to lift in the air very slowly and started shrinking rapidly and ended up the size of a star. Then in the blink of an eye it shot up. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Georgia Triangular Light Followed by Red Ball

Atlanta -- My friend and I were sitting outside stargazing when something captured our eyes at 8:30 PM on July 28, 2011. We saw a bright orange light coming towards us traveling much faster than any jet plane. We knew it was not an aircraft as the object passed right above us and had a triangle shape. We could see a large orange triangle shaped light in the center and three blue lights moving in a circular motion around the triangle light. We felt it was watching us.

This object was the brightest object we had ever seen. The object hovered for a minute or so and disappeared within the blink of an eye. Thirty seconds after this craft disappeared an enormous solid red ball of light passed by on the same path. Both objects were silent and flew 500 feet above us. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois -- Four Orange Circles

Cary -- On July 30, 2011, four orange circles were floating in a straight line making no noise at 9:45 PM. After a minute one of the objects faded away and the other three formed a triangle. These slowly faded away as if they turned. Several cars stopped and viewed the objects. I have a photo taken from my Motorola Droid phone of two of the four objects. Note: A similar sighting and photo was taken in Frankfort, Illinois on the same night. It is not clear from the photo what lights are the "unknown lights." Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Iowa Fast Star

Hiawatha --At 11 PM, on July 30, 2011, I noticed a star-like object moving at a high rate of speed form horizon to horizon. It was smaller than a star but appeared to be traveling ten times faster than a satellite. The object was up very high in space. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Red Light

Louisville -- I was sitting in the car with one of my friends at around 3:45 am on July 27, 2011, and saw a red light coming up from behind the trees in my yard. It was a round light hovering and moving toward us and we watched it as it dropped something little? Then it started moving again and looked like it was shaking, as the lights around it got dim. I got scared and couldn't keep my eyes off of it. As we recorded it would stop, nod, and hover. It partially hid behind a tree and after 15 minutes of watching it maneuver, it turned white and was blinking bigger and brighter as it turned orange and dropped to the ground. It got smaller and was gone. We were scared and want to know what happened. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Light and Orange Flaming Diamond

LOWELL— On July 30, 2011, near midnight, I saw this shaky light in the sky for two hours. It made no sound and just went from left to right and back and changed colors. It put a light on the ground like a helicopter three different times, but this was before I was filming. I am not sure what it is.

Note: The clip shows the "back and forth" movement described by the witness. The light appears as bright red. No sound is heard so a helicopter is an unlikely explanation. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Massachusetts Diamond

Yarmouthport A diamond shaped object was moving slowly and silently over us on July 31, 2011, at 9:45 PM. Two people in a convertible looked up and saw what appeared to be an orange flaming diamond shaped object moving slowly and silently across the sky. It was flying lower than commercial aircraft. We watched for several minutes until it left our view. Then a second one appeared from where the first one came from. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nevada Strange Sightings

Pahrump -- My name is DeAnna Brown and I am interested in UFOs. I live about 40 miles from Area 51 and the test site. I lived here as a child in the fifties when they were setting off nuclear bombs that would rattle our windows and produce an ugly pink and gray mushroom cloud that would drift over our community. I experienced some strange sightings with my family, that my father called "mineral lights". These lights would appear in the evenings, on and over the mountain range that was four miles west of our home. The lights moved up and down back and forth like a scanner. There were no roads on the mountains then and there were no vehicles capable of those maneuvers.

I think my father and grandfather gave us the most reasonable explanation they could for this supposedly natural phenomenon. Minerals reaction to the sun's rays, producing roaming lights in the cooler evenings. I accepted this explanation for several years until I tried to explain it to other adults and no one had ever heard of mineral lights. If it was a natural reaction, why doesn't it happen now? Then I read Chariots of the Gods and books about Roswell and really became curious and had a deep need for answers. I am 70 years old and still have the desire to know all I can about UFOs, lost civilizations, the pyramids and how it all relates and how it has affected our lives and progress. I probably won't live long enough to know all I want to know, but it won't be because I didn't try. Please send your weekly reports. Thanks to DeAnna Brown

New Hampshire Oval

Troy -- On July 30, 2011, we were sitting at a campfire at 9:18 pm, when we saw a silent object moving at a rate similar to the ISS. It had a greenish tint and was heading northward. When it was overhead, it suddenly flared a 100 times brighter in intensity. The flare reminded me of a cat's eye. Then it faded as it continued north and disappeared.

(NUFORC Note: Possible flare from an "Iridium" satellite, although such a flare lasts for only a few seconds, and they are white, not green.) Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

New Jersey Triangle

Lakehurst -- I'm a UH-60 pilot for the New Jersey Army National Guard and on the August 2, 2011, about 10 AM, I saw something streak across the night sky that I cannot explain. There were two pilots flying in the front, one crew chief in the right door gunner position and I was sitting at the left door gunner position. The aircraft was facing east. Our crew chief saw a bright flash of light that dimmed his night vision goggles on the horizon toward the south. At the same time I saw a lighted object pass over from the right to the left side of the aircraft at about 20 to 30 thousand feet level.

The object was rectangle in shape with squared off corners and was fully lit. It streaked across the sky in two seconds. Much slower then shooting star but much faster then a jetliner. It faded off just short of the horizon toward the north due to low cloud coverage that was at five thousand feet. Since I was under night vision goggles I saw no vapor trail. This looked nothing like any shooting start I had ever seen. A shooting star is usually just a single pin point of light, streaks across the sky. This object looked like a paper half gallon milk carton that was completely lit. Thanks to MUFON CMS

ROOSEVELT --I was coming home on June 22, 2011, on Cedarville Road heading for my road and saw a light through the trees in the eastern skies. I thought it was the moon. Then I see a gigantic flying low craft with four lights across in a row about the size of half a football field. The two in the middle were very bright like headlights, but the light was much diffused. The huge craft was moving NW incredibly slower than any plane making a low hum. It was like a cruise liner in the sky with a blinking red light on the bottom. I sped home as I was terrified by this huge craft and felt hot all over. I woke my Mom up; who is a scientist but it was gone. A similar craft was over the turnpike earlier. The above image is a rendering. This case is under investigation by Ken Pfeifer MUFON New Jersey www.worldufophotos.org

New Mexico UFO Landing

BERNALILLO -- My girl friend and I were parked on a mesa looking at the Sandia Mountains on September 10, 1997. We noticed some very strange lights at the base of the mountains that were moving right then left, up, and down. We sat there for a couple of hours just watching. I then decided to drive to the base of the mountains as the sun was coming up. We drove through the streets in that area and noticed that parts of the streets looked like they had been melted and the shrubs on the side of the streets were smashed down in a circler shape.

The green city electrical boxes you see on the side of streets were blown apart but had no sign of a fire or explosion. As we were driving we noticed every 5 or 6 houses people were packing their cars with luggage and seemed to be very worried. So at 2 AM, we drove back and parked at the base of the mountains. Within ten minutes, little orbs of light would blink on and off throughout the fields near us. There was an energy that made me feel alive causing my hair to stick straight up. I visited the mountains every night for several weeks and saw the same thing. Government vans would be parked at the top of my street and the local news stated, "If you see anything weird in the sky the military is testing weather balloons.

NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to MUFON CMS and Ken Pfeifer MUFON New Jersey www.worldufophotos.org

Ohio Triangle

Sidney -- I saw this 21 engine triangle at about 1000 feet altitude with no sound at all. About 11:39 PM, on July 26, 2011, a triangle traveled over my house at about 500 mph, I had 15 seconds of view time, and my son had about eight seconds of view time. We saw the craft so well we could identify a single power source attached to the three cylindrical housings containing seven vents for directional propulsion venting blue flames or blue heat giving the appearance of three lights. It was possibly a plasma engine? However, I have no explanation how something of such mass could maintain current speed, altitude and silence. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Light

BANKS -- I walked outside with my wife to smoke a cigarette and looked up at the stars. I noticed in the SW sky towards the coast range a light similar to a satellite and pointed it out to my wife. It was brighter, faster than a satellite and appeared closer. It traveled NW, appearing to follow the earth's curvature. After it passed the Big Dipper it paused and got brighter, almost as if it pointed its light towards us. Similar to someone pointing a flashlight towards you. The pause was only for a second and then it appeared to fly away. It flew away in the distance straight up, as if it went into space, faded, and then disappeared. Thanks to MU FON CMS

Pennsylvania Blinking Balls and UFO hovers 20 feet off Ground

West Chester -- My fianc and I were outside our apartment on July 30, 2011, and there were hundreds of blinking balls of light under a cloudy sky. One very big and very bright ball of light hovered, so we took pictures and were absolutely fascinated by what we had seen. There's no doubt in my mind it is a UFO! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oaks -- A witness was driving along Route 422 east between Trooper and Oaks on August 5, 2011, and reports observing an object hovering 20 feet off of the ground with three white lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Disc

Corpus Christi -- I was canoeing down the river on July 31, 2011, at 7 PM, and saw something in the sky that I had never seen before. It was a white disk shaped a little bigger than an airplane, like a fat disk, not a thin one. It was moving slowly and not always in a straight line for a few minutes. It was kind of moving all around slowly. I tried to take a picture of it, but it looks smaller in the picture for some reason. It started backing away and flew off so fast I could barely catch it with my eyes. I am very confused as to what this was.

Note: The photo isn't compelling by itself, but combined with the witness report lends some report to the sighting which was quite unusual. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Vermont Cigar

Johnson -- On July 30, 2011, at 8:45 PM, I was on a hill where reindeer lived on and there were no clouds in the sky. I saw a white line that looked like a plane but I couldn't tell. And then i went around the hill and suddenly it was gone. I saw it once before i went around the hill and when i got on the other side it was gone. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Wisconsin Triangle

Suring -- On July 31, 2011, at 8:10 PM, my cousins and I were driving down the road and we noticed something in the distance. At first we thought it was a jet or plane, but it was going straight up like a space shuttle. Then it curved up over us when it got close to the highest clouds. It was giving off an orange glow. Then it started to come straight down towards us. I thought we were getting bombed, but it stopped when it got right over us close and it flew over us.

We tried slowing down but it slowed down with us, and then sped up as we sped up. It kept speed with us and followed the car. It came from the northeast, then flew over head and then disappeared. It was darkish orange in the middle and glowed lighter orange. I can't sleep at night now. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Fort Mcmurray, Alberta -- My boyfriend and I went out for a smoke on the balcony around 12:19 am, on July 27, 2011. My boyfriend was looking up at the night's sky and pointed out this unknown object. At first we thought it was a satellite, but noticed three flashing white lights really close together. A red light was also flashing in the center. We thought it could have been a plane but the movement of the object was strange. It would move slowly diagonally and hover, and then move back before repeating this movement several times.

That's when we decided to go and grab the camera and snap some photos. It was hard to take a picture since half the time it wouldn't appear on the camera. Our roommate came home and he said, "I know it's not a plane because of the positions of the lights and isn't a satellite because of the red flashing light.

Later we zoomed the pictures on the PC and a green light not seen was located above the red light. We went back out to see if it was still there. Luckily, it was and we took a few more pictures zooming in on the green light. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Dominican Republic Strange Green Circles and Horses

San Jose de Ocoa -- On July 15, 2011, about 7:45 PM, I saw a light that seemed like lightning. That is, bottom-up coming back and from above to the earth. I thought it was the effect of my exhaustion and I retired to bed. The next morning I noticed my horses did not come to greet me as usual. I sent a child, then a farm worker to look for my horses, but they were gone. I went out looking for my seven horses, but they were not found. I called the radio station to transmit a message that if someone saw my horses to get in touch with me. It was 12:30 PM, when I alerted the community and the authorities of this region on radio. Half an hour later the horses came out of a hill where there was no opening in the fence. The horses came together at high speed running.

I sent a worker to examine the fence but there were no broken wires or clearance hole in the fence. Where they appeared we noted a big dark green circle on the grass. This circle is about ten meters in diameter formed by a line of dark green grass and grass about two and a half foot wide. It was a well-defined line and an almost perfect circle. The strangest thing is that herbs on the edge of the circle are half dark green leaves and leaving the green circle is a different color. The leaves and branches on one side were one color and a different color on the other side. Even after 15 days the circle is clearly seen. I have informed the authorities of the National Botanical Center. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Norway Flying Saucer on CNN Footage

Oslo -- Please look over the CNN footage of the explosion in Oslo, Norway. At 0:05-0:08 in the upper right corner of video is a disk.

Note: The disc may be a hanging light high up on electrical wires.

Slovenia Ufo Composition Seen

Bivje -- Around 15 objects were flying around Bivje near Koper (Slovenia) on July 23, 2011 at 2 AM. They were moving in all directions, one of them maybe landed on the ground.
After one minute they disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

South Africa Light

Pretoria -- The light was dimming and brightening four times and then disappeared. On Wednesday July 27, 2011, at 5:40 PM, while driving home from work I saw a bright light. At first I thought that it was the sunlight reflecting from an airplane. Then I noticed that the light was slowly dimming and brightening. I asked the passenger to look at the object and tell me what it was, "Her reply was that it did not look or move like any conventional aircraft. We both watched the light dimming and brightening another three times and then it just disappeared. This area also has a high concentration of conventional and commercial aircraft activity, but what we saw was not any of these.
It was difficult to estimate the distance and height as I was driving down a steep downhill road. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

UK/England UFO Sighted

RAF Northolt -- This was witnessed by me and my partner Karen in Ruislip, NW London. On August 1, 2011, at 7:15 pm, we saw a Learjet coming in to Northolt RAF Base and behind it in the same flight path was a very unusual looking object. To me it looked like a diamond shape which was rolling along at great speed and to Karen it was round in shape and metallic. It was quite low and I tried to take pictures. I downloaded the pictures to my PC and it's most likely a diamond. Karen's parents live closer than us to the air base and her Father said, "There had been things going on there all day with sirens going off, helicopters up and about etc.. This sighting report and photo was submitted to World UFO Photos, Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON New Jersey www.worldufophotos.org

NIET ERKEND – Hoe de geheimhouding in stand wordt gehouden

Door: Steven M. Greer, Projectleider van het Amerikaanse ‘Disclosure Project’

Vertaling: Paul Harmans februari 2005

Met toestemming vertaald

1.     Kan de regering een geheim bewaren?

Een echt groot geheim – het grootste aller tijden? Als zelfs het kleinste slippertje van een politicus of regeringsleider het belangrijkste nieuws is, kan de regering dan de meest verbazingwekkende ontdekking ter wereld – het bestaan van buitenaards leven - voor ons verborgen houden?

Welnu, ja en nee.

Ten eerste moet het begrip ‘regering’ opnieuw gedefinieerd worden, omdat er een regering bestaat van ‘ons, het volk’, bestaande uit gekozen en benoemde beambten, volksvertegenwoordigers, bewindslieden, de wettelijke en juridische macht, enz, enz. Geheel in overeenstemming met de standaardles maatschappijleer op school. Maar dan is er ook nog de ‘niet erkende regering’: de ‘verborgen regering’, van verborgen zwarte projecten, contractuele tussenpersonen en bedrijven en vage functionarissen die op een tussenniveau opereren en wier taak het is te garanderen dat de regering van ‘ons, het volk’, heel weinig of niets weet van de ‘verborgen regering’. De rechterhand weet niet – en wil vaak niet weten - wat de linkerhand doet… Maar we lopen nu een beetje op de zaken vooruit. Eerst maar eens wat achtergrondinformatie. Gedurende zo’n elf jaar heb ik onopvallend bestudeerd hoe de echte geheimhouding in stand wordt gehouden en dan vooral die in de laatste helft van de 20e eeuw. Wat ik heb gevonden is verbazingwekkend en ronduit ongelooflijk. Wat u nu gaat lezen is de waarheid, maar ik moet toegeven dat ik het ook niet geloofd zou hebben als iemand het mij tien jaar geleden verteld had. U mag de rest van dit artikel lezen alsof het een gefingeerd verhaal is, misschien voelt u zich iets gemakkelijker om er vanaf een afstandje naar te kijken. Maar laat een deel van u weten dat dit de waarheid is.

Dit deel (van het boek) gaat niet over het wel of niet bestaan van UFO’s/ET’s of dat zij de aarde bezoeken. Laten we dat voor eerst en altijd uit de weg ruimen, omdat dat het meest eenvoudige deel van het verhaal is: UFO’s bestaan, zij zijn van buitenaardse herkomst, zij zijn hier al tientallen jaren (zoniet eeuwen), er is geen bewijs dat zij vijandig zijn, er is waarschijnlijk meer dan één levensvorm die ons bezoekt en verscheiden facetten van de ‘regering’ hebben daar op zijn minst gedurende 50 jaar wetenschap van. Het meer complexe deel van dit onderwerp is om tot je verstand te laten doordringen dat iets van dit buitengewone echt is en tot nu toe, op de een of andere manier heel onwerkelijk, verborgen, geheim en raadselachtig blijft. Dat de officiële regering – en de officiële hoeders der waarheid in de media en wetenschap – al deze tijd zijn misleid is een eerbetoon aan de geperfectioneerde, diepgaande, uitgestrekte en alomtegenwoordige geheime agenda, ongeëvenaard in de geschiedenis.

Inderdaad, het verhaal over het ‘hoe en waarom deze misleiding’ overtreft het buitenaardse fenomeen in al haar bizarheid, mysterieuze voorkomen en ongelovigheid. In feite lijkt het erop dat de effectiviteit van de geheimhouding is gerelateerd aan de verbluffende ongelooflijkheid van de aard van de geheimhouding. Anders gezegd, het waarom, het hoe en de redenen van deze geheime projecten zijn zo bizar en ongelooflijk dat zij de beste bedekking voor zichzelf verschaffen, niemand zal het geloven zelfs niet als men erop zou stuiten. Het is absoluut te gek om waar te zijn.

Om eerlijk te zijn, mijn eerste reactie op wat u nu gaat lezen was: “Ja, ja…” Maar de ene na de andere bevestiging en onafhankelijke bekrachtiging ervan overtuigde mij. Toen zei ik: “O, mijn God”. De ruimte hier staat mij toe om slechts de hoogtepunten van intens en achter de schermen onderzoek van de laatste zes jaar met u te delen. Ik hoop dat er een dag komt waarop het complete verhaal verteld kan worden, met naam en toenaam, maar voor nu moet u mij toestaan dat ik slechts een algemeen plaatje belicht en slechts enkele details. Deze informatie komt uit persoonlijke, intens gevoelige privé-besprekingen en lange discussies met zeer hoge en betekenisvolle informanten afkomstig uit het leger, de inlichtingendiensten, de politiek en private bedrijven.

2.     De oorsprong van de geheimhouding

De zoektocht naar de waarheid wat betreft deze geheime projecten bracht mij bij staatshoofden, leden van koninklijke huizen, ambtenaren van de CIA, agenten van de NSA, Amerikaanse en buitenlandse militaire leiders, politieke leiders en aannemers van private, high-tech ondernemingen. Het proces was uitputtend, meedogenloos en verwarrend. Veiligheid en tact vereisen dat ik vooralsnog namen erbuiten houd, tegen de tijd dat u dit artikel gelezen hebt, zullen de redenen daarvan duidelijk zijn.

We beginnen bij de tijd van de tweede wereldoorlog, we hebben ontdekt dat bepaalde functionarissen binnen de Amerikaanse regering wisten dat we niet alleen waren, dat er vooruitstrevende toestellen rondvlogen in bepaalde gebieden waar de oorlog woedde en dat die niet van ons en hen (de vijand) waren. Een medisch collega en vriend van mij, vertelde me dat een familielid van hem een onderscheiden piloot uit tweede wereldoorlog was, die door de president naar Europa werd gezonden om uit te zoeken wat deze ‘foo fighters’ waren. Hij bracht rapport uit aan de president waarbij hij duidelijk maakte dat het buitenaardse ruimteschepen waren.

Vanaf daar wordt het vreemder en vreemder. Een gepensioneerde generaal, die later de rechterhand werd van een directeur van de CIA, vertelde mij dat hij in 1946 als militaire officier verantwoordelijk was voor het schrijven van ontkennende brieven betreffende een serie waarnemingen bij daglicht boven Idaho. Hij vertelde dat mensen wisten dat UFO’s echt waren, maar zodra de Koude oorlog een feit was en later zelfs een paar echte oorlogen, was iedereen meer bezorgd over een wereldwijde atoomoorlog en had niemand nog tijd om zich zorgen te maken over deze enigmatische maar ongevaarlijke ET’s. En dat is zeker waar.

Vele nieuwe, onafhankelijk bekrachtigende getuigen, vertelden ons van de crash in 1947 en het bergen van een buitenaards ruimtevaartuig in New Mexico en in 1948 in Kingman, Arizona. Welnu, DIT moest natuurlijk wel iemands aandacht trekken en de naam van het spelletje was van nu af aan: ‘Vergevorderde Buitenaardse Technologie’. Hoe werkte het, waar kon het voor gebruikt worden, hoe zouden zij het gebruiken; voor het geval de Russen eerder uitvonden hoe het werkte, wat als het uitlekte en sommige nieuwe Hitlers het gingen gebruiken om de wereld te domineren, wat als het volk in paniek raakte als zij ervan hoorden, wat… En nog een miljoen andere vragen die in die tijd allemaal onbeantwoord bleven.

Zodoende was het geheimste project van het millennium geboren. Uiteindelijk werkten we in die tijd aan de ontwikkeling van de waterstofbom en onze aartsvijand Rusland zat ons op de hielen. Wat kon er nog destabiliserender werken in een alreeds zwakke wereldorde dan de introductie van een technologisch interstellair voortstuwingssysteem aan een wereld van elektronenbuizen en verbrandingsmotoren? Het is bepaald geen overdrijving te constateren dat zoiets een kwantumsprong in technologische capaciteiten zou betekenen. En we wilden het natuurlijk veiligheidshalve voor onszelf houden.

Dus, de ‘Nationale Veiligheid’ vereiste dat deze hele materie, ten koste van alles, stil werd gehouden en er werden dus ook geen kosten gespaard om dat te bewerkstelligen. Maar er was één ‘grote’ kleinigheid die het geheel bedierf: de buitenaardsen vlogen in het rond, soms in formatie, met duizenden getuigen, in het luchtruim van Amerika en de rest van de wereld. Hoe ga je dat verbergen?

3.     De tactiek om het geheim, geheim te houden

De geest kan dat verbergen. Als in een Orwelliaanse twist werd ontdekt - uit psychologische verrichtingen tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog - dat als je een leugen maar genoeg vertelt, en speciaal als dat gedaan wordt door gerespecteerde, autoritaire figuren, de mensen het zullen geloven. Het bleek dat één van de hoofden van de psychologische oorlogsvoering gedurende de tweede wereldoorlog, in de late veertiger jaren de leiding over dit alles kreeg. Generaal Walter Bedell Smith coördineerde de psychologische oorlogsvoeringbestanddelen voor dit probleem en hielp met het lanceren van de grote leugen: UFO’s, ook al zijn ze door miljoenen gezien, bestaan niet.

Voor elke waarneming die doordrong tot het publieke bewustzijn zou er een officiële ontkenning zijn en, erger nog, een belachelijk maken van de gebeurtenis en de waarnemers. Harvard astronoom Donald Menzel werd haastig opgeroepen om de wereld te vertellen dat het allemaal hysterie was, dat UFO’s niet bestonden en het allemaal larie was.

Zodoende wist tot in de jaren vijftig slechts een relatief kleine groep mensen de waarheid en die hielden zij voor zichzelf. Als er een gebeurtenis was die de aandacht van de media trok, ontkenden autoritaire figuren het en maakten het belachelijk. Omdat mensen over het algemeen instabiele, sociale wezens zijn en meer op lemmingen lijken dan we willen toegeven, werd het al snel duidelijk dat als je niet in verlegenheid gebracht wilde worden, belachelijk gemaakt en in een sociaal isolement geraken, je je mond hield over UFO’s, zelfs als je er persoonlijk één van zeer dichtbij had gezien. Als je hieraan de aanmoediging van het vertellen van mesjoche verhalen en excentrieke, overdreven praatjes binnen de burgerlijke UFO-subcultuur toevoegt, bijgestaan door het van nature voorkomende niveau van gekte en geschiftheid in de samenleving, wel, dan heb je het hele plaatje.

Elk zichzelf respecterend persoon – en in het bijzonder de respectabele leiders in de media, de politiek en de wetenschap – zal dit zien als een ‘thema non grata’ wat je uit de weg moet gaan. (En gezien mijn ervaringen in de laatste elf jaar, kan ik ze geen ongelijk geven…)

Maar dit is allemaal nog vrij gebruikelijk spul, niet waar. De bizarre verdraaiingen kwamen in de jaren vijftig, toen zich een nieuw model voor verborgen projecten ontwikkelde; er werd een Frankenstein gecreëerd, maar nu had deze een eigen wil, was van de tafel gekomen en verbrak alle banden en beweegt zich nu onder ons.

4.     De overheid buiten spel

Aan het eind van 1993 en in 1994, 1995 en 1996, toen ik van ontmoeting naar ontmoeting reisde, openbaarde zich een schokkende waarheid. Ergens in de jaren negentig gebeurde er iets schrikwekkends: de hele zaak was grotendeels geprivatiseerd, zat tien niveaus diep in de zwarte projecten en opereerde buiten de constitutionele keten van controle van de Verenigde Staten of welke andere regering. Ik weet wat u denkt, ik dacht in eerste instantie hetzelfde, maar laat mij verder gaan.

Binnen een paar maanden na de eerste ontmoeting in 1993, hadden ik en/of leden van ons team ontmoetingen met zeer, zeer hoge functionarissen van de CIA, het huis van afgevaardigden, de regering Clinton, de Verenigde Naties, de verenigde chefs van staven, het Engelse leger en dat van andere landen. Onze eerste redenering was om aan deze mensen duidelijk te maken dat, sinds de Koude Oorlog over was, er uitzicht was op een mogelijkheid voor een complete openbaring wat betreft deze zaak. De tijd was gekomen om deze zaak terug te geven aan de internationale gemeenschap. Juist? Mis! Praktisch zonder uitzondering waren de militaire leiders, de mensen van de inlichtingendiensten, de Nationale Veiligheid en politici het ermee eens dat de tijd gekomen was om de waarheid te vertellen. Het probleem was alleen, dat zij geen toegang meer hadden tot deze waarheid, of de gegevens, of de gevallen, of de technologie, of de overschotten van buitenaardsen die opgeslagen waren (ja, we weten waar die zijn, maar het is niet meer op de Wright Patterson luchtmachtbasis).

Degenen waarvan ik dacht dat zij in het circuit zaten, lagen eruit en zij die nu het programma draaiende hielden bestonden uit een vreemde combinatie van geheime uitvoerders en belangen van private ondernemingen. Vanaf daar was alles tegengesteld aan elkaar. Mijn voorouders vochten in de Amerikaanse revolutie in North Carolina. Zij vochten voor het vestigen van een constitutionele, representatieve regeringsvorm en nu vroeg ik mij af wat er met de grondwet was gebeurd. Zoals in een nare droom bleef ik hopen dat ik bij het wakker worden een andere waarheid zou aantreffen. Hoe kon ik dit met anderen delen? Het is al erg genoeg voor een dokter in North Carolina om vol te houden dat wij worden bezocht door een vergevorderde buitenaardse levensvorm, maar dit?

Ik vroeg een vriend, die lid was van de staf van de Nationale Veiligheidsraad van de regering Reagan, hoe dat allemaal kon. Hoe was het mogelijk dat enkelen van de meest machtige mensen ter wereld – in de regering, in het leger, de hoge mensen binnen de inlichtingendiensten en de Nationale Veiligheid – niet alleen ervan op de hoogte waren, maar ook nog eens GEEN TOEGANG hadden tot deze informatie? Ik vroeg hem of we de president moesten laten weten wie er exact op de hoogte was van dit alles en dat hij hen naar de Oval Office zou roepen en zou zeggen: “Ik ben de president van de Verenigde Staten en ik wil dat jullie mij alles vertellen wat jullie weten over deze zaak”, wat zouden zij dan doen? Hij lachte en zei: “Steve, als zij het de president niet willen laten weten, dan zullen zij simpelweg tegen hem liegen en zeggen dat dergelijke dingen niet bestaan. Dat gebeurt aldoor…” Ik stond perplex door het cynisme van dit alles en vanwege de duidelijke breuk in het staatsrecht.

De truc van ‘aannemelijke ontkenning’ om hogere regeringsfunctionarissen te ‘beschermen’ wordt kennelijk toegepast bij gevoelige onderwerpen en de UFO-zaak is de meest gevoelige van alle. Tijdens een bespreking met een zeer hoog kopstuk van de inlichtingengemeenschap, wiens positie iedereen van het volk zou doen aannemen dat hij elk stukje van deze belangrijke geheime informatie zou weten, ontdekte ik dat ondanks dat deze man wist dat deze zaak waar was (dat UFO’s bestaan) hij noch tot de vroegere, noch tot de huidige informatie toegang had of tot projecten die te maken hebben met het UFO-onderwerp. En weer was ik sprakeloos.

Hetzelfde geldt voor zeer hoge opsporingsambtenaren van de senaat met de mogelijkheid van een dagvaarding en top geheime bevoegdheid. Ook geldt dit voor mensen bij de verenigde chefs van staven, hoge ambtenaren bij de VN, ambtenaren bij het ministerie van defensie in Engeland en bij staatshoofden. En zo gaat dat maar door en door. Het was geen valse voorstelling van zaken, deze besprekingen werden geregeld door persoonlijke, onderhandse contacten en vrienden. Ironisch genoeg kwamen deze kopstukken zelf naar ons toe en vroegen om informatie, analyses en zelfs om actie om deze geheime rotzooi op te ruimen. Ondanks dat ik hen erop wees dat ik slechts een plattelandsdokter was uit North Carolina, met een vrouw, vier kinderen, een minibus en een golden retriever, veranderde dit niet. Dus, in mijn vrije tijd deed ik wat ik kon doen.

NIET ERKENDE SPECIALE TOEGANGSPROJECTEN (UNACKNOWLEDGED SPECIAL ACCESS PROJECTS. USAP’s.) Deze term nam wat tijd om te blijven hangen. Noem mij naïef, maar ik geloof in democratie en in de constitutie, de functie van de president, het belang van de regering enzovoorts. Maar dergelijke eigenaardige concepten hadden op de een of andere manier een tijdje nodig om door mijn geest begrepen te worden en het duurde dus even voordat ik mij met deze nieuwe realiteit kon verzoenen: dat de president en de regering en de rechterlijke macht en de VN en al die andere wereldleiders wel bestaan en zich zorgen maken over belastingen, geld en programma’s enzovoorts. Maar dat zij worden buitengesloten van de werkelijk grote zaken. Uiteindelijk komen en gaan al deze mensen elke 2 of 4 jaar. Wat zij niet weten deert hen niet, trouwens, wij doen hen een plezier om hen in het ongewisse te laten over dergelijke geheime projecten. In ieder geval zijn deze projecten NIET ERKEND en zij bestaan dus helemaal niet echt…

5.     Wat is een USAP?

Het is een topgeheim, onderverdeeld project wat speciale toegang vereist, zelfs voor hen met een top geheime clearance, EN, het is niet erkend. Dat betekent dat als iemand, om het even wie, inclusief uw superieuren, inclusief de commandant en de chef, of de president u erom vraagt, u antwoordt dat een dergelijk project niet bestaat, U liegt. Mensen binnen de USAP’s zijn dodelijk serieus in het geheim houden van hun project en zullen nagenoeg alles doen het verhaal verborgen te houden en daarbij zowel andere beambten als het publiek opzettelijk verkeerde informatie verstrekken.

De grootvader aller USAP’s is de UFO/ET-zaak. Herinner u dat een topgeheim Canadees document, geschreven in 1950 door Wilbur Smith, verklaart dat hij had uitgevonden dat een geheime Amerikaanse groepering werkte aan de UFO-zaak, inclusief de technologie achter de UFO’s en dat dit de meest geheime onderneming van de Amerikaanse regering was, dat zelfs de geheimhouding van de ontwikkeling van de H-bom te boven ging.

Denkt u zich eens in hoe dit project er 50 jaar later uitziet. Er is inmiddels een hele tijd voorbij gegaan. Er zijn vijftig jaar en ontelbare miljarden gespendeerd aan verschillende aspecten van dit project: het terug ontwikkelen van buitenaardse technologie om uit te zoeken hoe het werkt, experimenten met niet-lineaire voortstuwings- en communicatiesystemen, grootschalige publiekelijke desinformatie en misleiding van grondwettelijk gekozen en benoemde beambten en rechtspersonen en nog veel meer.

Voeg aan deze actieve desinformatie de namaak en de gesimuleerde, valse ET-gebeurtenissen toe om het publiek te misleiden en te dienen als lokaas om zodoende de aandacht van de mensen weg te leiden van de werkelijke actie. Ontvoeringen. Dierverminkingen. Hybride baby’s drijvend in de ruimte en ondergrondse bases. Geheime verdragen tussen een wereldregering en de sinistere buitenaardsen enzovoorts, tot vervelens toe. Het is tragisch dat de roddelmedia, uitgevers van boeken, de UFO-subcultuur/industrie en het algemene publiek deze troep verslinden.

Niet alleen dient deze nonsens als een effectief lokmiddel voor de ongefundeerde en niet-professionele burgerlijke UFO-subcultuur, het creëert tevens het laagje waanzin en smakeloosheid dat nodig is om respectabele wetenschappers, de voornaamste media en publieke beambten stil te houden. Het houdt de hele zaak veilig uit hun blikveld.

(Veel van wat Greer beweert over het UFO-fenomeen is zonder twijfel waar, maar persoonlijk vind ik hem echter wat te gemakkelijk de uitkomsten negeren van zowel de gedegen onderzoeken naar de dierverminkingen van Linda Moulton Howe als de wetenschappelijk onderbouwde conclusies betreffende het ontvoeringsfenomeen van onderzoekers als John Mack en David Jacobs. Vert.)

Vanaf het midden van de veertiger jaren tot de late jaren vijftig was deze geheime groepering in zekere mate conventioneel. Een aantal ambtenaren in de Truman en Eisenhower-regering wisten van het bestaan en waren erbij betrokken. Het werd oprecht gezien als noodzakelijk voor de nationale veiligheid dat het voor een tijdje geheim werd gehouden. En ik geloof dat zij in goed vertrouwen handelden en binnen de grenzen van onze constitutionele democratie.

Maar ogenschijnlijk ontwikkelde zich tijdens de jaren van de Eisenhower-regering een patroon waarbij zij die in het circuit zaten, eruit werden gewerkt. We hebben meer dan één bron die bevestigt dat dat het geval was in de laatste jaren van de Eisenhower-regering en in de jaren tijdens de Kennedy-regering. Eerstehands getuigen hebben ons verteld dat Eisenhouwer furieus was dat hij in het ongewisse werd gelaten betreffende een aantal belangrijke aspecten aan het UFO/ET-fenomeen. Hij had de buitenaardse ruimtevaartuigen en lichamen gezien en toen ontdekte hij dat er buitengewone projecten werden opgezet en dat hij daar buiten bleef.

Het is daarom ook geen wonder dat hij, niettegenstaande het feit dat hij een vijfsterren generaal was en een conservatieve republikein, als president in zijn laatste rede aan de natie waarschuwde voor het ‘militair-industriële complex’. Mensen zijn vergeten dat het een vijfsterren generaal was - en niet Abbey Hoffman – die de term ‘militair-industriële complex’ lanceerde en ons de eerste waarschuwing gaf voor de gevaren van haar buitensporigheid. Waarom? Omdat hij deze buitensporigheid van dichtbij en persoonlijk had meegemaakt.

Nu gaan we snel voorwaarts naar juni 1963. Kennedy vliegt naar Berlijn om daar zijn beroemde toespraak te presenteren en te verkondigen: “I am a Berliner”. Aan boord van de Airforce One is een militaire man die het volgende vertelt: Kennedy begon tijdens de lange vlucht op een bepaald moment met hem het Ufofenomeen te bespreken. Hij gaf toe dat hij wist dat UFO’s bestonden, het bewijs had gezien, maar vervolgens aan deze stomverbaasde militair verklaarde dat: “De hele zaak mij uit handen is genomen en ik weet niet waarom…” Kennedy zei dat hij de waarheid naar buiten wilde brengen, maar dat hij daartoe niet in staat was. En dat was nu de president van de Verenigde Staten, de opperbevelhebber van de gewapende troepen, verklaren dat de zaak hem uit handen is genomen en dat hij niet weet waarom. Ik vraag mij af of hij er nog achter is gekomen voordat hij later in dat jaar werd vermoord.

Eisenhower, Kennedy, mensen van de Clinton-regering, militaire machthebbers, mensen van de inlichtingendiensten, buitenlandse leiders. Allemaal staan ze buiten spel. Maar ze weten allemaal dat het echt bestaat. Wat is er aan de hand? USAP’s zijn maar een deel van het verhaal, het kleinste deel. Herinner u Eisenhower die waarschuwde voor het ‘militair-industriële complex’. Voornaamste woord: industriële, dus privaat, geprivatiseerd. Tijdens een bespreking van dit onderwerp in juli 1995 met een voormalig hoofd van het ministerie van defensie van Groot-Brittannië, ontdekte ik dat hij op een gelijksoortige wijze buiten spel was gezet. We ontdekten voor de zoveelste maal dat het werkelijk geheime materiaal zelfs verborgen werd gehouden voor het hoofd van MI5 en het ministerie van defensie. Het antwoord ligt binnen de USAP’s, maar meer nog bij private contracteenheden.

De regering van de Verenigde Staten heeft nagenoeg niets gebouwd (goddank!) De B2 Stealth bommenwerper is niet gebouwd door de Amerikaanse regering, maar VOOR de Amerikaanse regering door private ondernemingen. En private ondernemingen kunnen geheimen beter bewaren dan USAP’s. Wat dit heel goed illustreert is het feit dat na al die jaren, niemand de formule kent voor Coca Cola. Zelfs de president van de Verenigde Staten kan die niet verkrijgen. Deze formule is geheim en privaat.

Welnu, combineer de macht van particuliere geheimhouders met die van USAP’s, dan heb je een geheim bolwerk gebouwd dat praktisch ontoegankelijk is. Omdat als je het probeert binnen te dringen, het beveiligd is vanwege het private eigendomsrecht. En als je probeert binnen te komen via de publieke sector – de regering – dan is het verborgen in USAP’s en die ‘regering’ waaraan wij doorgaans denken, is daarbij machteloos.

Vanuit persoonlijke ervaring kan ik zeggen dat als je de leiders informeert over dit alles, zij hun hoofd in hun handen nemen en, net als ik eens zei, zeggen: “O, mijn God…”

Dus, wat is het wezenlijke belang van deze verborgen operatie? Beschrijving: Het is een quasi-regerings groepering, aan USAP’s verbonden, tezamen met quasi-privé-bedrijven die internationaal opereren. De meerderheid der bezigheden concentreert zich in private industriële ‘werk voor anderen’ contractuele projecten die gerelateerd zijn aan het begrijpen en toepassen van vergevorderde buitenaardse technologieën. Verwante, onderverdeelde eenheden, welke dus ook USAP’s zijn, zijn betrokken bij desinformatie, publieke misleiding, actieve desinformatie zoals ontvoeringen en verminkingen, verkenning en het volgen van UFO’s, op de ruimte gebaseerde wapensystemen en gespecialiseerde contactpersonen (bijvoorbeeld voor de media, politieke leiders, de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap, de maatschappij, etc.). Denk aan deze eenheid als een kruising tussen een regering, USAP en de private industrie.

Deze groepering bestaat hoofdzakelijk uit functionarissen afkomstig uit het middenkader van de aan USAP’s gerelateerde militaire- en inlichtingendiensten, uit USAP’s of zwarte afdelingen binnen zekere samenwerkende hightech contracteenheden, uit zorgvuldig uitgekozen samenwerkenden binnen de internationale politiek, uit verschillende religieuze groeperingen, uit de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap en de media en uit andere organisaties. De identiteit van enkelen van deze functionarissen is ons bekend, maar die van de meesten blijft onbekend.

Ongeveer een derde tot de helft van hen die de beslissingen nemen zijn nu voorstander van een publieke openbaring van enkele facetten van deze zaak, dit zijn in hoofdzaak de jongere leden die minder medeplichtigheid hebben aan buitensporigheden in het verleden. De overblijvende leden zijn er tegen of hebben tegenstrijdige gedachten betreffende een aanstaande openbaring.

Het huidige beleid en de besluitvorming lijken voorlopig een pauze te hebben ingelast binnen de private, burgerlijke afdeling in tegenstelling tot de aan de militaire- en inlichtingendiensten gerelateerde USAP’s, maar ondanks dat, duidt enige informatie erop dat er een duidelijke relatieve zelfstandigheid bestaat op enkele gebieden binnen de operaties. Volgens onze inschatting is er een toename in discussies over bepaalde geheime operaties en de wenselijkheid van een openbaring.

Veel onderverdeelde operaties binnen de ‘zwarte’ of USAP projecten zijn zo gestructureerd dat zij die aan een taak werken vaak onwetend zijn van het feit dat die gerelateerd is aan de UFO/ET-zaak. Bijvoorbeeld, sommige aspecten van het zogenoemde ‘Star Wars’ project, of het SDI programma, zijn bedoeld om zich te richten op buitenaardse ruimtevaartuigen die in de nabijheid van de aarde komen, maar de grote meerderheid van de wetenschappers die aan het SDI programma werkt, is daar niet van op de hoogte.

Wij hebben van drie afzonderlijke, bevestigende bronnen vernomen dat sinds het begin van de jaren negentig, er op zijn minst al twee buitenaardse ruimtevaartuigen door op de ruimte gebaseerde wapensystemen onder vuur zijn genomen en zijn vernietigd. De grote meerderheid van politieke leiders, inclusief beambten van het Witte Huis, militaire leiders, regeringsleiders, leiders van de VN en andere wereldleiders zijn niet volgens de vaste regels over deze zaak ingelicht. Wanneer en als er een onderzoek wordt ingesteld, wordt hen niets verteld over deze operaties, noch wordt het bestaan van een dergelijk project bevestigd. In het algemeen is de aard van een dergelijk verborgen project voldoende om ervoor te zorgen dat dergelijke leiders zelfs niet eens weten waar zij hun onderzoek moeten beginnen.

Internationale samenwerking bestaat op ruime schaal, desondanks hebben enkele getuigen verklaard dat enkele landen, en in het bijzonder China, strijdlustig jacht maakte op enigszins onafhankelijke punten.

De voornaamste bases voor de operaties zijn, afgezien van de grote verscheidenheid aan private gebieden, de Edwards luchtmachtbasis in Californië, de Nellis luchtmachtbasis in Nevada en in het bijzonder S4 en de nabijgelegen faciliteiten, Los Alamos in New Mexico, Fort Huachuca in Arizona (hoofdkwartier van de militaire inlichtingendienst), het Redstone Arsenal in Alabama en een relatief nieuwe, zich nog uitbreidende ondergrondse faciliteit die slechts bereikbaar is door de lucht en ligt in een afgelegen gebied van Utah, omgeven door andere faciliteiten. Bijkomende faciliteiten en operationele gebieden bestaan in een aantal andere landen, inclusief het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Australië en Rusland. Talloze agentschappen hebben diep geheime, zwarte aan USAP’s gerelateerde eenheden die zijn betrokken bij deze operaties, inclusief de National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), de National Security Agency (NSA), de CIA, de Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), de Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), Naval Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Air Force Intelligence, de FBI en een groepering bekend als MAJI control.

Er is zelfs een nog uitgebreidere lijst van private, burgerlijke en samenwerkende eenheden die een veelzeggende betrokkenheid hebben. De meeste wetenschappelijke, technische en vergevorderde technologische projecten zijn ondergebracht in de burgerlijke industrie en onderzoeksfirma’s. Veelzeggend – en fataal - is dat de beveiliging daarvan wordt verzorgd door private contractors.

De meerderheid van het personeel alsook het leiderschap van de meeste, zoniet alle, agentschappen en private groeperingen zijn niet betrokken bij en onwetend van deze onderverdeelde, niet erkende operaties. Om deze reden zijn serieuze beschuldigingen aan het adres van elk van deze agentschappen of private eenheden ongegrond. ‘Geloofwaardige ontkenning’ bestaat op vele niveaus. Bovendien vergt specialisatie en onderverdeling het bestaan van een aantal activiteiten waarvan de medewerkers niet weten dat hun taak heeft te maken met het UFO/ET-onderwerp.

Zowel de positieve stimulansen om gewillig mee te werken als de straffen voor het schenden van geheimhouding zijn opmerkelijk. Een hoge militaire bron heeft ons verklaard dat er op zijn minst 10.000 mensen gedurende een paar decennia, 1 miljoen dollar heeft gekregen om hun medewerking zeker te stellen. Wat betreft de straffen, we weten uit meerdere betrouwbare gevallen dat de familie van individuen werd bedreigd voor het geval die de regels van geheimhouding zou overtreden en we hebben kennis van twee recente, zogenaamde zelfmoorden, bij een private industriële firma met een contract, welke voorvielen toen de slachtoffers zich niet hielden aan de geheimhoudingsplicht bij een reverse-engineering project, gerelateerd aan buitenaardse technologie.

6.     Fondsgelden

Een hoge regeringsonderzoeker heeft ons in vertrouwen verteld dat zwarte budgetten ogenschijnlijk worden gebruikt voor deze en gelijksoortige projecten die in feite USAP’s zijn. Dit zwarte budget wordt geschat op een 10 miljard dollar, maar gaat wellicht zelfs de 80 miljard dollar per jaar te boven. Het bedrag dat gaat naar de UFO/ET-operaties is op dit moment onbekend. Hierbij opgeteld komen ook nog de fondsen die van overzee komen, van privé- en institutionele bronnen. De hoogte van die bedragen is ook niet bekend bij ons.

Dit is het gedeelte waarvan we nu weet hebben. Het is duidelijk dat er op dit gebied meer vragen dan antwoorden bestaan en wat nog onbekend is, is veel meer dan wat we nu weten. Niettemin hebben we, zo geloof ik, significante en historische vorderingen gemaakt in het begrijpen hoe deze eenheden opereren.

Ik heb deze algemene vaststelling gepresenteerd aan een aantal belangrijke militaire, politieke en ambtelijke personen en ik was verbaasd dat het werd ontvangen als absoluut accuraat en in overeenstemming met onafhankelijke bevindingen die zij afzonderlijk hadden ontvangen.

Maar de grote vraag is waarom? Zoals over het algemeen in het leven, het wat, wie en hoe is altijd makkelijker te beantwoorden dan het waarom. Waarom de voortdurende geheimhouding en misleiding? Ik aarzel om verder te gaan, omdat we hier vragen krijgen die gerelateerd zijn aan een fundamenteel motief en doel, wat altijd een beetje een vaag gebied is, slecht gedefinieerd in het beste geval. En dit is geen normaal geval, de emoties, motieven en doelen achter dergelijke buitengewone bezigheden waarbij veel op het spel staat zijn aanmerkelijk complexer en meer afwijkend. En inderdaad zullen de motieven een allegaartje zijn, variërend van in eerste instantie nobel en met goede bedoelingen tot aan verderfelijkheid.

Senator Barry Goldwater vertelde mij in 1994 dat de geheimhouding rond het buitenaardse onderwerp “toentertijd een verdomde vergissing was en ook nu een verdomde vergissing is…” Ik ben geneigd dat met hem eens te zijn, maar de drang voor geheimhouding was en is niet helemaal gelegen in dwaasheid. Ik zie de aanleiding daarvoor eerder in angst en het gebrek aan vertrouwen.

7.     Wat waren de beweegredenen voor geheimhouding?

Ondanks dat ik in het algemeen een afkeer heb van psychotherapeutisch jargon, geloof ik dat de psychologie in dit alles van groot belang is. Ik geloof dat geheimhouding en speciaal extreme geheimhouding van deze graad, altijd een symptoom van een kwaal is. Als je geheimen in je familie hebt, is dat een ziekte, geboren uit angst, onzekerheid en wantrouwen. Naar mijn gevoel kan dat doorgetrokken worden naar gemeenschappen, bedrijven en samenlevingen. Uiteindelijk is de aanleiding voor geheimhouding een symptoom van een diepgelegen gevoel van onbehagen dat is voortgekomen uit een fundamenteel gebrek aan vertrouwen en een overvloed aan angst en onzekerheid.

In het geval van UFO’s/ET’s, in de vroegere tijd van de veertiger en vijftiger jaren, heerste er naar mijn gevoel een angst die grensde aan paniek. We waren net een wereldoorlog te boven gekomen en hadden de ketenen van de gruwelijke atoomwapens geworpen. De USSR breidde haar imperium uit en bewapende zich tot de tanden met nog groter en dodelijker atoomwapens. En zij versloegen ons in de race naar de ruimte.

Dat alles ging vergezeld met buitenaardse ruimteschepen waarvan er een geborgen was tezamen met een dode (en één levende) levensvorm. Paniek, angst, verwarring. Er rezen een ontelbaar aantal vragen, allemaal doortrokken van angst. Waarom zijn zij hier? Hoe zal het volk reageren? Hoe kunnen we hun technologie veilig stellen en het uit handen van onze doodsvijanden houden? Hoe moeten we het volk vertellen dat de meest machtige luchtmacht ter wereld niet in staat is haar eigen luchtruim veilig te stellen? Wat zal er met de religies gebeuren? Met de economie? De politieke evenwichtigheid? De industrie die bouwt aan de huidige technologie? De…

Naar mijn idee was in eerste instantie geheimhouding voorspelbaar, zelfs begrijpelijk en mogelijk zelfs te rechtvaardigen. Maar als de decennia voorbijgaan en zeker aan het eind van de Koude Oorlog, kan angst alleen de geheimhouding niet meer verklaren. Tenslotte is 1994 niet 1946, we zijn in de ruimte geweest, we zijn geland op de maan, we hebben planeten in andere zonnestelsels ontdekt, we hebben de bouwstenen van leven gevonden in de verre ruimte en ongeveer 50% van de wereldbevolking gelooft dat UFO’s echt zijn. En het Sovjetregime is ineen geklapt.

Ik denk dat er bij de geheimhouding van nu twee andere factoren van grote betekenis spelen: hebzucht en macht en de logheid van een decennia lange geheimhouding. Hebzucht en macht zijn gemakkelijk te begrijpen: denkt u zich maar eens in dat u betrokken bent bij een project dat buitenaardse techniek probeert te ontrafelen om het daarna toe te passen. De macht en het schokeffect van een dergelijke technologie op de huidige economie, overstijgt de gezamenlijke draagwijdte van de verbrandingsmotor, elektriciteit, de computerchip en alle vormen van telecommunicatie.

We spreken over een techniek van het volgende millennium. U denkt dat het tijdperk van de computer/informatietechniek een grote revolutie is? Fasten your seat belts, de toekomst – vroeger of later – zal ‘niet-lineair’ zijn, een nulpunt technologische revolutie, gebaseerd op vergevorderde buitenaardse technologieën. Geen wonder dat de gezamenlijke interesse en geheimhouding van de contractors en die van het militaire complex, zelfs uitstijgen boven de aan de regering gerelateerde USAP’s. De formule voor Coca Cola betekent hiermee vergeleken helemaal niets.

De bureaucratische logheid van langdurige geheimhoudingsoperaties is echter wat anders. Na decennialang dergelijke activiteiten te hebben uitgevoerd, zoals het verspreiden van leugens, het misleiden van het volk en zelfs erger, hoe dan moet zo’n groepering het web ontrafelen dat zij geweven heeft? Er bestaat voor een bepaald type mens een zekere verslavende charme aan geheime macht, zij raken opgewonden bij het hebben en weten van geheimen. En dan is er nog het schrikbeeld van een kosmisch Watergate, waarbij allerlei mensen koppen willen zien rollen. Het is dus makkelijker de toestand onveranderd voort te laten gaan, iets waarin alle bureaucratieën bedreven zijn.

En zelfs nu is er nog angst. Niet slechts de angst om betrokken te raken in een soort Watergate, maar een eerder xenofobische angst (vreemdelingenangst) en een primitieve angst voor het onbekende. Wie zijn deze mensachtigen, waarom zijn ze hier, hoe durven zij zonder eerst toestemming te vragen ons luchtruim binnen te dringen! De mensheid heeft een lange traditie van angst en haat aan alles wat verschillend, onbekend en van elders komt. Kijk maar eens naar de uitwassen die het mensdom teisteren zoals het racisme, de etnische zuiveringen, het fundamentalisme en de nationalistische vooroordelen en vijandschap. Er bestaat een nagenoeg ingewortelde xenofobische respons op het onbekende en dat wat anders is. En het is zeker dat de buitenaardsen meer van ons verschillen dan bijvoorbeeld de protestanten ten opzichte van de katholieken in Ierland.

Ik vroeg eens aan een natuurkundige die betrokken was bij verrichtingen van militaire- en inlichtingendiensten die gerelateerd waren aan UFO’s, waarom wij pogingen doen om deze ruimteschepen met vergevorderde ruimtewapens te vernietigen. Hij reageerde meteen geërgerd en zei: “Deze cowboys die dergelijke wapens bedienen zijn zo arrogant, zo onbeheersbaar, dat zij elke binnenkomst van een UFO in ons luchtruim zien als een aanval die het waard is om vijandig op te reageren. Als we niet zorgvuldiger te werk gaan, dan zorgen zij er nog eens voor dat wij betrokken raken bij een interplanetair conflict…”

En zo gaat dat in zijn werk. Angst. Angst voor het onbekende. Hebzucht en macht. Institutionele traagheid. Dit zijn enkele van de huidige drijvende krachten achter de voortdurende geheimhouding.

8.     Wat kunnen wij eraan doen?

Maar hoe dan verder? Hoe kunnen we een dergelijke situatie transformeren van extreme geheimhouding naar openbaring? Extreme geheimhouding, en speciaal op zoiets verstrekkends en belangrijks, ondermijnt de democratie, ontwricht de constitutie, concentreert een enorme hoeveelheid technologische macht in de handen van een paar niet-gekozenen en berokkent schade aan de gehele planeet. Daar moet een einde aan komen.

Ik stel voor dat de regering in samenwerking met het huis van afgevaardigden, de verantwoordelijkheid op zich neemt voor openbare verhoren, waarbij deze getuigen, waarvan we er nu bijna 500 hebben, openlijk kunnen verklaren wat zij weten over de UFO/ET-zaak. Dat zal een definitieve openbaring in werking stellen, dat kan ik u verzekeren.

In verband hiermee kunt u ons op twee manieren helpen:

1) Schrijf de president en vraag of hij een uitvoeringsbesluit wil uitvaardigen dat deze getuigen toestaat veilig naar voren te komen en schrijf tegelijkertijd naar uw senator en man in de regering en vraag hen deze openbare hoorzittingen te steunen.

2) Neem zo snel mogelijk contact met mij op als u (of iemand die u kent) een getuige zou kunnen zijn afkomstig uit de huidige of vorige regering, het leger of van private bedrijven. Wij hebben beschermende maatregelen getroffen en hoe meer getuigen we hebben des te sterker we staan en hoe groter de veiligheid wordt voor hen die meedoen. Help ons alstublieft als u kunt.

De internationale gemeenschap en de Verenigde Naties zouden wat deze zaak aangaat gelijksoortige hoorzittingen moeten houden. Wij hebben getuigen afkomstig vanuit de gehele wereld en het zou ideaal zijn als internationale openbaring en het vergaren van bewijs meteen van start zouden gaan. De wereldgemeenschap moet niet passief blijven en de verantwoordelijkheid betreffende geheime operaties van zich afschuiven. CSETI is sinds vijf jaar betrokken bij burgerlijke diplomatische inspanning en bereikt waardevolle doorbraken in het ontwikkelen van protocollen hoe in contact te treden met deze buitenaardse bezoekers. In tegenstelling tot passief af te wachten en het te zien als een ver weg gelegen ‘fenomeen’ zouden we moeten proberen de communicatie met deze levensvormen tot stand te brengen en vanaf het begin een open interplanetaire verhouding met hen te hebben. Als u geïnteresseerd bent en wilt weten hoe u betrokken kunt raken bij dergelijk onderzoek en diplomatieke inspanningen, neem dan contact met ons op.

9.     Vergevingsgezindheid

Tot slot. We moeten bereid zijn te vergeven. Er valt geen voordeel te behalen bij het vragen van zware straffen voor hen die zowel bij de huidige geheimhouding als die van het verleden betrokken waren. Velen hadden het gevoel dat ze op dat tijdstip het enig juiste deden en velen hebben dat nog. We hebben geen kosmische Watergate nodig en we zouden daar collectief vanaf moeten zien. We zouden positief naar het nu en de toekomst moeten kijken en het verleden vergeven.

Er is een eerdere situatie geweest die enigszins op deze lijkt. In de begintijd van de Clinton-regering waren er verstrekkende openbaringen betreffende vroegere buitensporigheden en waanzinnige experimenten binnen het ministerie van energie en de voormalige atoomenergiecommissie. We hoorden dat er plutonium werd gestopt in de havermoutpap van kinderen in weeshuizen en dat er weloverwogen straling werd vrijgelaten in bewoonde gebieden om ‘te zien wat er zou gebeuren’ en meer van dat soort zaken. De waarheid kwam boven tafel en het was niet het einde van de wereld. Niemand ging de gevangenis in. De regering kwam niet ten val en de hemel viel niet op ons neer. Dus laat ons voorwaarts gaan met wat echte barmhartigheid en vergevingsgezindheid en laten we deze nieuwe eeuw anders beginnen.

Uiteindelijk is het zo dat als het volk de leiding neemt, de leiders zullen volgen. Moed, visie en volharding zijn nodig om deze situatie van gedaante te doen veranderen en een tijd van openheid en vertrouwen te creëren en de fundatie te leggen voor zowel wereldwijde als interplanetaire vrede. Als onze leiders op dit moment die moed en visie ontbreekt, dan moeten wij ze dat duidelijk maken. Er staat teveel op het spel om de andere kant op te kijken, er wordt ons de toekomst afgenomen. De toekomst van ons leven op aarde en onze plaats in de kosmos lopen gevaar. Samen moeten we eraan werken om die toekomùst zeker te stellen, voor onze kinderen en hun kinderen.

UFO files: sketches and reports of sightings in Britain

This doughnut-shaped phenomenon was photographed by a retired RAF officer and sent to his old bosses tasked with investigating UFOs. The photographer wrote to his former colleagues at RAF Fylingdales in North Yorkshire saying: "You must admit they are unusual." The man, whose name was blanked out in the newly released documents, said: "I noticed a partial aura in the sky, a minute or so later there was a clap of thunder, then a short while later a ring like a doughnut appeared - the ring was orange in colour with a white/cream finger pushed through, the head of the column glowed an orange colour, behind the doughnut was a second cloud of colour , and a further ring of orange..."

A Different Perspective

While in Roswell I had a chance, brief though it was, to talk to Stan Friedman. He had come up to me as I ate breakfast and suggested that I was probably correct about Robert Willingham which is surprising. Oh, not about Willingham because it’s pretty clear that he never served as an Air Force officer or a fighter pilot, but because of what it suggests about the MJ-12 documents. If Willingham’s tale is discredited, then MJ-12 is discredited because it mentions the Willingham story and there is no other source of information on Del Rio (or the El Indio – Guerrero UFO crash as it was disguised there).

When I said to Stan that there was no evidence of a Del Rio crash, he trotted out his propaganda argument that “Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence.”

My immediate reply was, “It is when due diligence has been preformed,” which, of course I had done (and which, of course, sort of attaches a legal term to the argument).

But this whole thing got me to thinking about this “Absence of evidence” line and what it really means. It is the last ditch effort to support a concept, idea, theory, or story that has nothing else to support it. Stan didn’t suggest other sources of evidence for the Del Rio crash, he didn’t offer additional witness testimony, he didn’t produce newspaper articles that talked of some kind of UFO event in the area in the right time frame (which according to Willingham’s various tales was 1948, 1950 or sometime in the mid-1950s). No, he just quoted his line as if that ends the argument.

With that sort of an argument, no rational conclusion can be drawn. It doesn’t matter how much time, effort, or money has been put into an investigation. If you found nothing to support the story, then the fallback position is always, “Absence of evidence...”

Here is where we are with the Del Rio crash. The only witness to ever mention it has invented his military career and if he wasn’t a fighter pilot, then he was not in a position to see the UFO crash. If he wasn’t an Air Force officer, then he was never an Air Force fighter pilot and his story fails on that point.

Yes, Willingham has named other witnesses or potential witnesses, but then all of them are dead (which, coincidentally is the same problem with MJ-12... all the men named were dead before the document appeared). There has been no way to verify this story. We must accept it as Willingham tells it.

The only other reference to this case is in the MJ-12 documents. There are no other witnesses, no newspaper stories (and before you get wound up on that, remember even Roswell was mentioned in the newspapers, as was Las Vegas, Kecksburg, Shag Harbour, and several other suspected and alleged UFO crashes), and there nothing in the Project Blue Book files.

Nothing.

You must remember that if there was no Del Rio crash, yet it was mentioned in MJ-12, it would be the final, fatal blow to the Eisenhower Briefing document. There is no reason to include a hoax in the document, a hoax that wasn’t created until 1968, which, of course, means the author of the Eisenhower document was clairvoyant or the document was created after 1968. With Willingham’s latest date change, the crash didn’t happen until after the 1952 date appended to the Eisenhower Briefing Document, and is just one more suggestion the document is fraudulent.

So, let’s look at this “Absence of evidence” idea. In science, sometimes, the absence of evidence is evidence of absence.”

Take The Dinosaur Heresies by Robert T. Bakker and published by Zebra Non-fiction in 1986. On page 116, Bakker wrote, “A careful investigation of the quarry made it clear that something was wrong with the deep–lake theory. As a carcass sleuth looks for clues, he or she must be alert for negative evidence; sometimes what’s missing reveals more than what is present. And negative clues were everywhere in Sheep Creek. No fish bones or crocodile bones and almost no turtle remains (only one fragment of shell) were ever fund in the Sheep Creek limestone.”

In other words, “Absence of evidence is evidence of absence.”

Here’s where we find ourselves today. Robert Willingham is the only source available for the Del Rio crash and he has changed the location, date, number of UFOs, type of aircraft, and a host of other details three times. There is no other source.

Willingham was interviewed by Todd Zechel who was working with William Moore and the Del Rio case appears in The Roswell Incident. (And no, this isn’t a new source, but one that is traceable back to Willingham). It then appears in the MJ–12 papers because everyone thought that Willingham was a retired, high–ranking officer whose word could be trusted. If there was a Del Rio crash in 1948 or 1950 (depending on which version of Willingham’s story you trusted) and it was not included in MJ–12, well that would be evidence of a MJ-12 hoax. No one thought in terms of the Del Rio crash being faked when the MJ–12 papers appeared in the mid–1980s because, it seems, everyone accepted Willingham as authentic.

What evidence is there that something crashed near Del Rio, Texas, at any point in time? There is none. Nothing. The only conclusion to be drawn is that the Del Rio crash is a hoax (a much nicer word than lie) and if that is true, then the Eisenhower Briefing document is a hoax.

Unless, or until, someone can provide any sort of additional and credible evidence of an event near Del Rio, or the El Indio–Guerrero area, there is nothing more to be said. It is a case where “Absence of evidence is evidence of absence.”

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Washington. Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Australia, Canada, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Africa Giants

Pravda--A team of anthropologists found gigantic creatures buried in the jungle near the city of Kigali Rwanda (Central Africa).

The remains belong to gigantic creatures that bear little resemblance to humans. Head of research group believes that they could be visitors from another planet who died as a result of a catastrophe.

According to the scientists, they were buried at least 500 years ago. At first, researchers thought that they came across the remains of ancient settlements, but no signs of human life have been found nearby.

The 40 communal graves had approximately 200 bodies in them, all perfectly preserved. The creatures were tall - approximately 7 feet. Their heads were disproportionately large and they had no mouth, nose or eyes. The anthropologists believe that the creatures were members of an alien landing, possibly destroyed by some terrestrial virus to which they had no immunity. However, no traces of the landing of the spacecraft or its fragments were discovered.

This is not the first such finding. In the summer of 1937 a group of Chinese scientists led by Professor Chi Putei surveyed the caves of Mount Bayan-Kara-Ula. Inside they found skeletons with excessively large heads and puny bodies. Nearby there were 176 stone plates. In the center of each plate there was a hole from which a spiral groove spread out to the perimeter with some characters on it. In addition, the cave walls were covered with pictures of the rising sun, moon and stars, with many painted dots or small items, slowly approaching the mountains and the earth's surface.

Experts in deciphering ancient written characters have been puzzled over the disclosure of the secret spirals from the cave Bayan-Kara-Ula for two decades. Finally, the professor of Beijing University Zum Umniu deciphered several inscriptions. The grooved letters narrated that approximately 12 thousand years ago some flying objects crashed in these mountains. Chinese archaeologists found a mention of the peoples who lived in the mountainous caves of Bayan-Kara-Ula.

A corpse of another "alien" was found by Turkish cavers. A mummy of the ice age was resting in a sarcophagus made of crystalline material. The height of the humanoid male creature did not exceed 1 meter 20 centimeters, his skin was light green, and he had large transparent wings on his sides.

According to the researchers, in spite of the unusual appearance the creature looked more like a person rather than an animal. His nose, lips, ears, hands, feet, nails, were very similar to human. Only his eyes were very different, three times bigger than those of a human, and colorless, like reptile's eyes.

Not that long ago in one of the ancient Egyptian tombs a mummy of a man 2.5 meters tall was found. It had no nose or ears, and its mouth was very wide and had no tongue. According to archaeologist Gaston de Villars, the age of the Mummy is approximately 4 thousand years. It was buried as an Egyptian nobleman - carefully mummified and surrounded by servants, food and art objects designed for the afterlife. However, as it was discovered, not all objects around the finding belong to the Egyptian or even Earth's culture. For example, among the finds was a round polished metal disk covered with strange characters, a costume made of metal with the remnants of something resembling plastic shoes, and many stone tablets filled with images of stars, planets and strange machines. The Shrine where a strange mummy was found also looks unusual. The burial was made of the material unknown in antiquity. The stone was literally carved from the rock so that the walls were smooth, like polished marble. It looked as if it was cut by a laser. Incidentally, the stone's surface was fused. The tomb was decorated with a substance resembling lead.

However, the "alien" theory is not the only one. According to some researchers, the "giants" and "dwarfs" could be a mere side branch of humanity that once lived on Earth, but for some reason became extinct. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

Mars Smoke Venting

Famed NASA Astronaut confirms Extraterrestrials Exist

Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, U.S. Space Shuttle Fleet writes,

"Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-80 took a crew of five astronauts into a 17 day, 15 hour and 54 minute mission around the earth, the longest flight in the history of this vehicle. During this lengthy flight a very strange event occurred that even had crewman Dr. Story Musgrave unable to explain what he observed from the shuttle windows.

A large disc shaped object appeared below the Columbia. The shuttle was approximately, 190 Nautical miles high.

The disc was first observed to miraculously appear from out of nowhere, flying through the clouds below and progressing from right to left as the astronauts stared in utter amazement. The outer rim of the craft appeared to be rotating counter-clockwise. It was very large (compared to common space junk and breakaway ice), approximately 50 to 150 feet in diameter.

Astronaut Dr. Story Musgrave, a Payload Specialist on the STS-80 Mission, was interviewed following the flight. As he viewed a videotape of the incident which showed lightning flashes in the atmosphere, the city lights of Denver, Colorado and other earthbound sights, he stated: "I don't know what it is. Whether it's a washer, debris, ice particles, I don't know. But it's characteristic of the thousands of things which I've seen. What is not so characteristic is it appears to come from no where. You would think that if it's facing the dark side or facing a side towards you which is not reflecting the sun, you would think that you would see something there. It's really impressive."

During an earlier interview, Dr. Musgrave stated he attempted to communicate with ET life forms during each of his six missions. Now that's an astronaut with a lot of courage. Dr. Musgrave retired after this flight from NASA. Since then he's been spreading his considered opinion that alien life exists. When Musgrave speaks of this, it's no great leap for one to assume he's admitting knowledge of alien life. As the final slide of a "Grey" ET was shown during a recent astronomy presentation by Dr. Musgrave, he made this surprising comment: "These guys are real... I guarantee it!" Dr. Musgrave does know the truth. This author guarantees it!

About the author:

Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, KSC, Florida 1958 to 1992. Former Director, NICAP Unit-3 at Cape Canaveral and KSC, former MUFON Assistant Florida State Director, and former Director, Kennedy Space Center MUFON Unit, KSC. stargate-chronicles.com

At the MUFON conference I spoke with Story and he indicated that when flying in space on the shuttle it is very difficult to tell the distance to an object. "Many so called UFOs are actually much closer to the shuttle than they appear and are relatively mundane objects such as ice or small washers. He gave a great speech and received a standing applause.

All the speakers were great at the MUFON Conference and the new MUFON CMS System is coming on line.

MUFON Monthly Meeting: My Name is Jim and 'I Was Abducted

A well-dressed Jim Moroney stood at a podium at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Studio City one recent evening and said: "I was abducted by an alien. I mean, how do you tell someone you're dating that you were abducted by aliens?" Read full story here

Researcher Claims UFOs Were at F.E. Warren Missile Sites

At the MUFON Conference I had a nice talk with Captain Silas who was one of six former Air Force officers and a former enlisted man stepped forward in Washington last September to say that they'd seen or had been directly involved with UFO sightings at nuclear missile sites. These sightings began at the dawn of the Cold War and continued through the 1970s. At this press conference, organized by UFO researcher Robert Hastings, these men told the media that they were encouraged not to speak of these sightings by their superiors, and in some cases, were required to sign secrecy oaths. Robert Silas who I talked with on Sunday, told me, " He was able to obtain formally classified data about the sighting and cold now tell what happened on March 16, 1967, he was 60 feet below ground working a 24-hour shift monitoring a launch-control center outfitted with 10 nuclear Minuteman missiles. "I got a call from the topside guard, telling me they were watching some strange lights flying around in the sky, making odd maneuvers. They didn't think they were airplanes because they were going very fast, turning on a dime and not making a bit of noise." Salas, co-author of " Faded Giant" (BookSurge Publishing), was a first lieutenant in 1967, serving as a missile-launch officer while stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.

Farewell to a Researcher: Jorge Anfruns (1944-2011)

Our friend and colleague Quique Mario (CEUFO) has alerted us to the passing of one of Chile's great UFO researchers, Jorge Anfruns. A publicist, commentator, writer and speaker, Anfruns was better known in the U.S. for his role as the founder and director of MUFON-Chile. His approach to research included not only current reports, but his country's history, stating that the Chilean natives were aware of interdimensional leaps in time " what we have come to know as the Special Theory of Relativity " and which survive as myths and legends handed down to our times....

State of New Hampshire Erects Historical Marker for Betty and Barney Hill

Many states might shy away from immortalizing its UFO history. But the State of New Hampshire is known for its fiercely independent people and its "live free or die" motto. On July 20, 2011, it erected a historical marker to commemorate the September 19-20, 1961 close encounter and "lost" time of Portsmouth residents Betty and Barney Hill. The marker is located next to the highway in front of Cabin # 20 at the Indian Head Resort in North Lincoln and across the street from the granite stone face called Indian Head....

I spoke with Kathleen Marden at the UFO Conference in Irvine, California last weekend and she has been successful in immortalizing or Aunt Betty Hill. She writes, "Many states might shy away from immortalizing its UFO history. But the State of New Hampshire is known for its fiercely independent people and its "live free or die motto. On July 20, 2011, it erected a historical marker to commemorate the September 19-20, 1961 close encounter and "lost time of Portsmouth residents Betty and Barney Hill.

I, as the Hills' niece and trustee of Betty's estate, then worked with the state over the next 3-4 years to complete the process. Employees at the Department of Cultural Resources called upon me to suggest appropriate text for the marker—a challenge in and of itself. Every statement had to be footnoted and supported by ample evidence that it was true and accurate. In all, the wording for the 12 line plaque had 20 footnotes and 28 sources listed in its bibliography.

The final wording approved by the state agency reads as follows:

On the night of September 19-20, 1961, Portsmouth, NH couple Betty and Barney Hill experienced a close encounter with an unidentified flying object and two hours of "lost time while driving south on Rte 3 near Lincoln. They filed an official Air Force Project Blue Book report of a brightly-lit cigar-shaped craft the next day, but were not public with their story until it was leaked in the Boston Traveler in 1965. This was the first widely-reported UFO abduction report in the United States. www.kathleen-marden.com Thanks to The UFO Chronicles

Spain 's Cryptozoology Dragons

Spain isn't often associated with dragons " beyond the dragons of heraldry on the shields of Castilian nobles " but Catalonia also has a tradition of dragons that forms part of not only its own folklore, but the Christian tradition as a whole: who hasn't heard of St. Jordi (St. George) and his dragon? George of Cappadocia, a Roman soldier in the retinue of the Diocletian, was invoked on numerous occasions by the royalty of Aragon to tilt the balance of battle. He bestowed his help upon the King Pedro of Aragon during the siege of Huesca, and during the conquest of Valencia by James the Conqueror, St. George appeared "with many knights of paradise who turned the tide of battle, in which not one Christian was slain."

Sightings in the United States

California Metallic Oval

WESTLAKE VILLAGE -- I was driving to work, stuck in traffic. I was traveling north on the 101 freeway, and something in the sky caught my eye. I thought it might be a small white plane, but then the sun shined on it, as it must have tilted a bit, and it had a silver metallic surface. It was oval shaped, and i kept my eye on it as it traveled from south to north for about 3 to 5 seconds, then it just vanished into thin air! I kept looking and looking for it, but it was gone! This is my second sighting in three weeks, and i am stunned!

MOUNT SHASTA -- I was at a park in Mt. Shasta, California. My boyfriend and I all went to the park so that we could see the volcano up close and take some good pictures. I was unaware of the UFOs at the time of the park visit and had no sighting of them while I was physically at the park in the town of Mt. Shasta.
I first noticed the UFO objects in my pictures a week or so after the actual park trip when I was zooming into them using my computer. I noticed that many (mostly all) of the pictures that I took directly of Mt. Shasta contained little dots that were somewhat hard to notice at first glance when the pictures were not zoomed-in upon. The dots in the pictures are not in consistent spots and seem as if they were moving as I was taking the pictures. I took the pictures over a span of about 5 to 10 minutes and was on my way without knowing that I had even taken photos of the said UFOs.

I immediately thought that the pictures contained UFOs when I began to realize how they were present in almost every picture I had taken while in Mt. Shasta. I have to admit that I did have the thought to "look for UFOs" within the pictures on 7/9/2011 and that thought was what even prompted me to look at the pictures on that day in the first place-- so it is quite ironic that I was able to find what I was looking for.

Colorado Metallic Triangle

PUEBLO -- Two witnesses watched a UFO shoot "straight up into the air" after following it at high speeds along Highway 96 according to June 11, 2011, testimony. The object was reported as being silent and having red and purple flashing lights. The witness stated, "The craft was about 900 to 1000 feet in the air at a speed of 150 plus mile per hour and the red and purple lights were flashing on and off at a fast rate which my friend and I thought were very odd. This craft didn't act nor did it look like an airplane or helicopter." I drove 120 mph chasing the craft, and 110 mph to stay with this craft. My friend asked me to catch up to this object so that he could take a clear photo of it, so I sped up to 120 mph and yet I still couldn't catch up with it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Connecticut Lights

Waterbury -- After watching the fireworks at Municipal Stadium on July 4, 2011, which ended about 10 pm, I and my husband had stayed outside to listen to the neighbor's fireworks and make sure nothing came at our home. At about 11 PM, he came inside and said you have to see what is in the sky. I went with him outside and we watched four things in the sky above. They were moving very slowly in a formation. One in front, two on the outside and one in back. They were yellow/orange color. I went inside to get our camera and my husband hollered - three disappeared just like that and as I got outside the last one was almost gone. We have never seen anything like this before.

Florida Five Discs

Little Gasparilla Island " We saw five bright orange disc/orbs moving north along coastline into the clouds. Hundreds were sitting on beach watching fireworks about 9 pm. There were four in back and one in the front. They came at a steady pace. We thought they might be some sort of fireworks, but they came up the shoreline and didn't weave. The light in the objects was a steady self contained bright orange. Everyone watched them until they disappeared behind a cloud. We did get a few on a cell phone camera. When you zoom into the thing it is a bright orange with red along the edges that were very strange. There was a man videoing the fireworks with a large camera, it should be on his. It was just bizarre how many there were and how they moved up the coastline at a steady pace. The wind was very low and the firework smoke was hanging in. In our group were many professionals and we all just sat and watched the orbs come up to the fireworks and disappear. They were pretty high up in the sky.

Delaware Discs

NEW CASTLE -- My wife and I and daughter watched fireworks from a shopping plaza on July 16, 2011. We noticed fireworks in the distance, and made a guess they were being launched from Hagley Museum, a notable DuPont family estate.

Upon greater inspection, we both noticed lights - disc shaped - bright and discernible - moving in formation - at least four of them hovering a great distance above the fireworks. After the show, the illuminated objects stayed and moved around in the evening sky for a significant period of time. At this point, other people exiting the restaurants in the shopping plaza began looking up and pointing to the sky.

We discussed that they may have been "lanterns" however, they moved in a synchronized fashion - almost military - and were way above the fireworks. In addition, we reside in an extremely busy airport traffic area just south of the Philadelphia International Airport. This was something different in the night sky.

Florida Green Light

West Palm Beach -- I was on the Southern Blvd. Bridge fishing on July 27, 2011, at 11 PM when I saw a glare of light. I saw a really bright green light right above me. The light was still for about 4 to 5 seconds. It was as green and perfect as a traffic light 50 feet in front of you. It was nerve wrecking and I had enough time to say what the heck is that? Then it just took off so fast. I stayed in shock and couldn't talk. It was so amazing and so close to me and it was so fast. I have never seen an object in the sky move so fast ever and I know it wasn't a shooting star or any man-made object. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Illinois Orange Lights

CHICAGO " I was driving west on Devon Avenue and, noticed a orange star that was moving told my wife to pull over looked at it fly erratically for 5 minuets ]i thought it was a bag with a candle in it to make it fly up but when it went in the clouds i new it wasn't to high and it was flying to fast i tries to take a picture but my camera was full this just happen it was flying west not plain no was helicopter no way it flew sort of zigzag from the north coming south and then west Thanks to MUFON CMS

Frankfort -- It was Saturday July 30, 20117-30-2011 about 10:30 PM. I saw about 20-50 Orange Lights (Orange like Fire to the Eye) moving From South to North. The lights moved fast with no sound. The lights appeared to be at real high altitude. Basically all were flying in a single file formation. The sighting lasted for about 1/2 hour.

Massachusetts Disc and Triangle

Lawrence -- I started sky watching at around 2 AM on July 27, 2011, and after only five minutes I caught sight of a triangle formation traveling at a good clip. When one of the corners separated while leaving the other two stationary after doing a couple of large arcs it left the area. I couldn't figure out the shapes of the crafts, but I had a good feeling it was going to be a good morning. My wife who thinks I am crazy never goes out viewing finally gave in and decided to spend some time with me. She got the surprise of her life when two craft approached us at about 40 MPH and a height of only 500 feet. Two beautiful saucers decided to park almost directly overhead. One was 70 feet and the other about 30 feet across and they stayed till around 6 AM. This was witnessed by my 23 year old and 14 year old and some of my early rising neighbors. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan Lights

Williamston -- I saw this white lightning like display on July 23, 2011, that stayed in one location seen from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM. I heard loud firecracker like sounds for several minutes, before seeing lights flashed from the ground up in a ball. The dogs were excited and nervous. I would like to know what is going on out here.

Note: It is not clear if the photo sent by the witness is of the "lightening-like" phenomenon or from a photo taken of orange orbs on the previous day. Questions have been posed to the witness. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

New York Star Like Object

BELLROSE, QUEENS -- I was driving home, after dropping my girlfriend home. We had just come from a night out in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I was driving on the Grand Central Parkway heading east at 3:45 AM on June 19, 2011. When I noticed this bright star like object in the sky to my right. It looked like it was moving, but I'm not sure if it was to me being in motion or not. So I kept monitoring this bright lit thing in the sky. I was trying to distinguish if it was a star or a plane. When I merged onto the Cross Island Parkway south bound, I decided to pull over on the side of the parkway at the Union Turnpike exit ramp besides the parkway. I could see this bright lit thing to my left that I observed for about three minutes before driving off. It was not moving so I knew it wasn't a plane. Another thing, I took notice of, was that it wasn't pulsating like a star.

It just seemed to stand out, because there was no other stars, or clouds in the sky. It also seemed bigger then a usual star, and maybe not as far away as a star. I decided to take a picture at 3:49 AM and to my surprise when I got home minutes later and looked at the picture, it had a shape to it. I've never had a sighting before, but I don't look up as often as some people do. Thanks to MUFON CMS system.

Ohio Rectangle

Toledo " I was driving and my friend was in the passenger seat when she asked, "What's the bright light in the sky? I said, "Probably a light on top of a building. But I realized it wasn't a plane and it lights didn't resemble any kind of landing lights. It goes over us and she freaks out and tells me to look out my window. I look and know this is not a plane because it was way too quiet and had an upper deck with a light and a horizontal row of 4 or 5 super bright lights on the front. It had a red blinking light on the bottom or back. She said, "It had three lights, one on each corner and loose S shaped arms going from the center with those lights on each end. In the center there was a circle of lights and she said it was so low to the ground she could see the lights moving across the ground towards us, and at one point the center lit up as it flew off.

Cincinnati -- It was about 12:50 AM, on July 1, 2011. I and three of my cousins went outside to talk on my cell phone. We were playing around for about five minutes when one of my cousins told me to look at the red star. (I told her that the red ones were planets.) We looked at it and it was standing still, which made it seem like a star.

All of the sudden she screamed and told us all to look at it. The object was moving very slowly to the south. First, it was just one reddish orange dot moving. All of the sudden we saw four dots arranged like they were at the corners of a square.

Then we saw four lights in a row blinking. We watched it until we couldn't see it anymore. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Oregon Triangles

Northern Oregon -- These are photographs taken by my wife's friend on May 5, 2011, who is not a big believer in Ufology but I am. When I saw the photographs I asked if I could have them. To me it looks like a fleet flying in formation and are cloaked in clouds. I want to know if there have been other reports such as this, and if it is a known technology possessed by the ETI's (ability to create and mimic movement of clouds as a disguise) or if this is more commonly known to be used by the ARV's? Or is this just a phenomenon recorded and understood as a cloud formation in our atmosphere to date? Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Silver Spheres

GRESHAM -- I was standing in my backyard showing my dad where I had actually seen a UFO over the Easter weekend a few months ago. I pointed up to the sky to show him where I'd seen it, and as soon as I pointed up we saw coming from north to south on July 10, 2011.It looked like a commercial jet flanked by three grey/silver looking balls. There were two on one side and one on the other. They were flying in a very deliberate formation around the jet and keeping pace with it perfectly.

As it got closer we saw three more grey/silver balls simply appear out of thin air and completed the formation around the jet. It was a very symmetrical formation with two on either side cropped in close to the plane, and one on each side farther out wide and behind the jet. They were in a very distinct "V" shape. They all just flew over my house and then there were out of sight. That is the 3rd time in several months that I have witnessed some kind of UFO from just my own backyard. I do live close to an Air Force base. It's just north of me over the river in Vancouver, Washington. Maybe that has something to do with it? Note: The above image is a rendering.

Trout Lake -- This is James Gilliland with ECETI. We saw the same ships as the Marysville, Washington sighting on July 23, 2011, at 11 PM .They flew in from the South in a triangle pattern with one trailing. They stopped, lined up and hovered over Trout Lake, WA for over ten minutes. There were 15+ witnesses. They just blinked out and disappeared. It was around 11:00 PM PST many townsfolk saw them as well. They hovered right over the Baptist church and Jonah Ministries. Of course few are talking.

Note: The photo is very similar to the one light photographed on July 23 in Marysville, WA. Also we received another report from Trout Lake on the same date. Click here to view Washington sightings

Wisconsin Cigar

WAUPUN -- We came out of a program at church at 8:09 pm, on July 26, 2011, when my 9-year-old daughter spotted a bright object in the sky. We watched as we walked to our car it flew towards us, going due east, at a steady speed. The object came into view as a metallic elongated shape, like a cigar or a rectangle. It was slender seemed to sail across the sky glinting in the setting sun, and then we watched it disappear into the east towards Lake Michigan. I was able to discern what looked like two wings out either side, like a double-wing or bi-plane aircraft. But this was bigger than any double-wing aircraft I had ever seen, and higher in sky than they would normally fly.

My 7-year-old son also saw a cross-type object, and then said, "But there was another part on top of it that I didn't know how to draw, like another wing." My 9-year-old saw it as a whitish-yellowish rectangular-type object, or rather two ends to the object, with a space in the center. One object held together by something in the center. My 16-year-old saw a rectangular object, two objects flying front to back, with a space in the center where the wings would be if it were an aircraft (only she didn't see wings), and she said both sections were lit up like incandescent lights. My 7-year-old son and I both saw this cross-type object, rectangular, with the two pieces, but we could see faint "wings" on it, like a bi-wing plane. It was segmented. Others who came out of the building at the same time were also looking at this object as it moved.

A commercial jet appeared to our southeast, and banked away as it got close larger slender object. I was surprised it was so close to the ground, much closer than they usually get. The jet had suddenly appeared almost overhead, making noise, and then it was gone. We lost sight of the object about 8:13 PM, as it continued its steady path east-southeast. It definitely was no plane. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Wyoming Four Objects

EVANSTON -- My wife and I were camping just after Sunset I was killing time by looking for familiar constellations and stars. The North Star was clearly visible and the Big Dipper was setting while Cassiopeia was rising. About 10 pm we were located in an area of trees. After talking about the possibility of UFOs for a while we were greeted by a flying star. A few minutes later we both saw something very unusual. Four faint objects moving in a straight line appeared. We both agreed that there were four faint objects - very much like faint stars flying in formation from East to West. The formation was a line where three were exactly spaced while the forth was some distance away as if it was the fifth and the forth not visible (*space*space*space space*).

The formation appeared as I was scanning the sky - that is to say I did not see it move from the East but my eyes just noticed the movement about due north as I was scanning. My wife saw the same objects at the same time - we both watched them move from East to West for several seconds - we lost sight of the objects the same way we found them. The speed of the objects was much faster than the satellite I saw earlier in the evening - maybe three or four time as fast. The speed and direction was very deliberate, consistent and did not waiver. I did not notice any deviation of the background star field as the objects flew thought the night sky. I heard no sonic booms or any other sound that could be attributed to the objects. I could not calculate the size of any object or if they were connected. But, I can say, they fly formation better than anything else I have ever seen! They were headed somewhere for reason. That night I expected dreams of UFOs and aliens but I did no have any. I felt no concern about the objects at any time. I have a degree in astronomy and a former military pilot with extensive night experience. I would have dismissed this occurrence as 'day dreaming' if I was the only one to see the objects. But, my wife saw the exact same objects at the exact same time. The objects that my wife and I saw have no corresponding relevance to anything we have ever seen - either man, bird or beast. Thanks to MUFON CMS

The Air Force Remains Consistent about Roswell after 64 years

By Dennis Balthaser
www.truthseekeratroswell.com
8-1-11

I recently obtained a copy of the June 2011, Air Force Magazine, published monthly by the Air Force Association in Arlington Virginia. The magazine is also available on the Internet at www.airforce-magazine.com

I was unaware that such a publication existed, however what created my interest was an article on pages 68-72 written by John T. Correll, who was the editor of the Air Force Magazine for 18 years, and is now a contributing editor. The title of his article is USAF and the UFOs. His lead sentence states, “The Air Force, to its lasting regret, got in on the ground floor of the UFO phenomenon.” From that first sentence on, the 4-page article is a repeat of what the Air Force has stated in July 1947, in their voluminous report of 1994, and their Case Closed report in 1997. As a long time researcher of the 1947 Roswell Incident, am I surprised---NO!!!

The article begins by talking about the Kenneth Arnold sighting June 24, 1947 in Washington State. Arnold estimated the speed of the nine disk-shaped objects he saw at 1,700 mph. Mr. Correll pointed out that although Arnold was credited with coining the term “flying saucers”, after an article appeared in the spring 1948 Fate magazine, the term had been used previously on July 8, 1947 in the Roswell Daily Record, and most afternoon newspapers west of Chicago to describe the wreckage of the Roswell Incident. The scientific consensus of Arnold’s sighting was that it was an inversion of refracted light-commonly known as a mirage.

The interest in flying saucers faded quickly according to the article, when the Air Force announced that the Roswell debris was from a high-altitude weather balloon experiment, and not mentioned again for 30 years.


Since no other government agency came forward to assume the investigation of flying saucers, the Air Force began to collect and evaluate the data with Project Sign in 1947, which evolved into Project Grudge and Project Twinkle, and finally Project Blue Book in 1952. Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the first director of Project Blue Book is given credit in the article for being the first to use the term “Unidentified Flying Object”. In 1952 there were 1,225 sightings to investigate.

A very brief account of the 1961 Betty and Barney Hill abduction case is mentioned in the article, only referring to it as being the result of a later hypnotic regression. Stating no one had seen an actual alien until 1964, when police officer Lonnie Zamora, “chased a flame in the sky to a mesa south of town where an egg-shaped craft landed and two strange figures got out.” Stating among others who investigated the case, only Philip J. Klass is mentioned. (Ed. Note: why list serious researchers when a debunker like Klass suffices.)

Two cases that Mr. Correll mentions that involved former Presidents of the United States were Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. In Ford’s case, 87 students at a college in Michigan saw UFOs in flight from their dormitory in 1966. When Ford requested a “full-blown” investigation by the House Armed Services Committee, the meeting lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes. The report that then Governor of Georgia Jimmy Carter made to NICAP in 1969 was determined to be the planet Venus.

In an effort to end the UFO controversy the Air Force was involved in, they engaged the University of Colorado to conduct an independent investigation led by physicist Edward U. Condon. The Condon report was issued in 1968, endorsed by the National Academy of Sciences, with the conclusion, “that nothing has come from the study of UFOs in the past 21 years that has added to scientific knowledge.”
In 1969 the Air Force announced the end of Project Blue Book. Of the 12, 618 sightings reported, 701 were categorized as unidentified, mostly due to insufficient information. Correll states the records of Blue Book were shipped off and archived.


The Air Force continued to be pressured however, being accused of keeping 2 saucers and 12 alien bodies from a crashed saucer in New Mexico at Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio. According to the article, “there is no hangar 18 at the base.” Then Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona also complained that the Air Force had denied him access to a “blue room” at Wright-Patterson where UFO artifacts were supposedly stored.

Much of the article from here on deals with the 1947 Roswell Incident, accurately stating accounts of, and briefly mentioning rancher Mack Brazel, Sheriff Wilcox, Intelligence Officer Major Jesse Marcel, and Public Relations Officer Walter Haut.

Stanton Friedman’s original interview with retired Major Marcel in 1978 is mentioned, where Marcel stated, “that in 1947, he had been ordered not to talk about the true nature of the debris, which he described as nothing from this earth.”
In 1978, the National Enquirer tabloid ran an article about Marcel, and in 1980 Berlitz and Moore published their book, “The Roswell Incident.” With one exception the witnesses are accused of repeating accounts they had heard from others.

The author mentions the “Majestic 12” documents, and the fact that many Ufologist believed that Majestic 12 member, Secretary of Defense James Forrestals’ suicide in 1949 was a cover story and, “the reason for his murder was that he was no longer trusted by those within the security services who had control over the captured saucer.” Correll claims the Majestic 12 story has several flaws, including being typed on a typewriter not in use until 1962, formats and date styles were wrong for the period. The National Archives acknowledged a document was in its files but did not know how it got there.

A great deal of space is devoted to Ballard Funeral Home Mortician Glenn Dennis’ account of his experience. Stanton Friedman interviewed Glenn Dennis in 1989. Dennis referred to the redheaded Captain, (or Colonel), who had him ejected from the base hospital, after he encountered a nurse friend who was visibly upset. The nurse disappeared from Roswell within a day, and Glenn Dennis was unable to get in touch with her despite attempts to help by the chief nurse Captain “Slatts.

When the Air Force heard about the General Accounting Office investigation into the Roswell Incident, requested by the then New Mexico Representative Steven Schiff in 1993, they decided to move on their own, supposedly pulling out all the stops, digging into records, hunting down people, (long retired), who had taken part in the events many years ago. This became the 1994 and 1997 Air Force reports I mentioned at the beginning of this editorial. (Ed. Note: All one has to do is read the GAO report or the Air Force reports of 1994 and 1997 to know the above statements are far from the truth.)


This article about the “Air Force and UFOs” mentions the balloon theory, which has been pretty well disproven over the years, not mentioning the fact that the Soviet Union didn’t do any nuclear testing until 1949 which is what the Mogul balloon was supposed to detect. Nor does it mention the fact that the anthromorphic crash test dummies could not have been the bodies witnesses described, since they were not used until 1953 (6 years after the Roswell Incident.)

There are other references in the article I could refer to, but due to a lack of space here, I’ll close with Mr. Correll’s final comment in his article, “Perhaps, in the context of the world today, there are more disturbing and important things to worry about than UFOs”.

Mr. Correll, I hope when the truth is finally revealed and UFOs are determined to be a factual occurrence, you are still around to write another article about the Air Force and UFOs, because there will be a lot of explaining needed about the past 64 years, and the way the Air Force has handled this topic.

Roswell’s Memory Metal: The Air Force Comments; NASA Gets Involved & New Clues Are Found

By Anthony Bragalia
The Bragalia Files
7-31-11

The “memory metal” debris found at the UFO crash site at Roswell in 1947 was both the conceptual and the technical impetus for today’s “Shape Memory Alloys” or “Morphing Metals” such as Nitinol. The Roswell debris was analyzed by Battelle Memorial Institute in the late 1940’s under a Wright-Patterson Air Force contract. These historical truths were established in a years-long (and continuing) investigation which has been detailed in the second edition of the book Witness to Roswell and which has been updated, expanded upon and defended in the following articles:

Roswell Debris Confirmed as Extraterrestrial: Lab Located, Scientists Named

Roswell Metal Scientist: The Curious Dr. Cross

The Final Secrets of Roswell’s Memory Metal Revealed

Scientist Admits to Study of Roswell Crash Debris

Roswell, Battelle & Memory Metal: The New Revelations

Now this author reveals for the first time:

• - NASA’s extraordinary and telling interest in morphing metals research and why this is so

• The US Air Force’s opinion on the Roswell-Nitinol Connection

• The reason that the memory metal is the vital clue to the solution to both the Roswell crash and the entire UFO mystery

• Further insight into the astounding history, significance and “meaning” of the memory metal

This line of investigation continues to bring forth additional documents, witnesses and circumstantial evidence which supports the fact that an unknown craft of unknown origin -and comprised of previously unknown materials- crashed to Earth over six decades ago. It also confirms that the overriding concern was to find out what the craft was made of.

NASA and The Memory Metal

The official “co-inventor” of Nitinol shape memory alloy at the US Naval Labs (along with Fred Wang) was William Buehler. In an authorized Oral History, Buehler complained that after his “discovery” that is was the space agency NASA that “independently retained Battelle” to “conduct further characterization studies” on Nitinol.

And this makes complete sense. The memory metal was inspired by the materials of construction from a spacecraft found at Roswell. This means that the material must have application in aerospace. And indeed it does. Today, NASA itself plans to apply the material in its most revolutionary and technologically advanced craft ever developed. And even more incredibly, the memory metal itself may hold the clue to “Free Energy” and interstellar propulsion using Nitinol Heat Engines! Recent research confirms that Roswell’s memory metal is going back into space, the Outer Space from which it originated.

NASA’s Langley Research Center in VA is key to this endeavor. Its Center for Excellence in Materials is working feverishly on Shape Changing aircraft. The following video demonstrates this fact- and that they want to transfer this technology to industry:

Dr. Anna McGowan is NASA’s Program Director for Morphing Materials. She is a champion of such materials because they “allow change from one configuration to another.” In a recent interview (that did not mention potential Roswell-impetus) McGowan expanded on these themes.

She states that this “change” can have real-world applications in the development of advanced spacecraft. By having shape-changing craft, one can control drag reduction, load reduction, noise reduction and the control of sensors and actuators using such material. Most importantly, such material may one day be used as the basis for a “self-healing spacecraft skin” which can repair itself. Such morphing allows the craft to “remember” prior configurations or “remember” itself for future function. When the material can morph, the shape of the craft can be changed to best suit the environment in which it traverses. And such a material can “self-disguise” aircraft and spacecraft- allowing it to “confuse” onlookers.

McGowan participated in a workshop in France in 2007 entitled “Aerospace Workshop on Adaptive Aerospace Structures and Materials” She explains that emphasis should be placed on the range of potential Shape Memory materials such as alloys, polymers and composite constructions. Of course the debris at Roswell was described as “like both metal and plastic (polymer)” by several witnesses. And incredibly, General George Schulgen (in a Secret Memo composed just months after the Roswell crash) wrote to select staff on the potential “Items of Construction” of UFOs that they were likely of “composite construction.”

McGowan then goes on to say that specific attention must be applied to the extreme challenges of “processing and fabrication” of such materials. In this same Secret Memo from General Schulgen in 1947 he speaks specifically of UFO material being made “by unusual fabrication methods.” General Arthur Exon, Base Commander of Wright Patterson in the 1960s (who was Roswell-aware) commented to author Kevin Randle of the debris that he had learned that “the processing of the material was somehow different.”

Sixty four years after the Roswell crash, the US government is still grappling with the challenges of Nitinol and Shape Memory. Although engineers and scientists have conducted countless studies, have composed numerous white papers and have diagrammed and micro-photographed such material for decades, the precise mechanisms behind “material that remembers itself” has yet to be fully understood.

NASA has a long history of conducting materials science and engineering experiments in space. Many of these studies remain classified. This author has reason to believe that NASA took Nitinol into space for secret experimentation. Emerging information indicates that it was placed in specialized testing chambers during the Space Shuttle and Space Station missions in the 1990s. The weightlessness and gravity-free environment of Outer Space may have revealed clues to the “strange fabrication and processing” as well as insight into just how and why material can “morph.” More on this will be reported in a future article.

Finally, Nitinol -or morphing memory metals- may hold the clue to cosmic propulsion and potentially infinite energy. NASA (and other government entities including the US Naval Labs in MD where Nitinol was “invented”) have been quietly working on “Nitinol Heat Engines.” Work on such engines as to date been largely theoretical. In the video below, the basic principles of such a Nitinol Heat Engine are showed in model-scale:

By using dual hot water/cold water chambers and a unique pulley system, the Nitinol wire’s precise cycle of continuous shrinkage and expansion makes the “water wheel” spin perpetually in motion.

However this author has learned that NASA has been working on Nitinol Engines for space propulsion for over 20 years! A December 1, 1988 document (declassified and entitled “Direct Conversion Technology”) features a chapter beginning on Page 29, “Thermoelastic Convertors-Nitinol Engines.” Though the report is generated by the US Department of Energy (interestingly authored by a scientist from EG&G, a company recently Roswell-implicated) the report is not a DOE report. Buried within the document we learn that this work was done “through an agreement with NASA” and that “the work herein was performed by NASA.”

The US Air force Responds to The Roswell-Nitinol Claims

This author has heard from a former US Air Force official about the Roswell-Memory Metal scenario. Colonel Richard Weaver is the author of the official Air Force’s 1994 debunking report “The Roswell Report: Case Closed.” He contacted me on April 27th, 2011 in reply to my email to him. Weaver held several high-level roles in intelligence (and in disinformation operations) with the USAF and he now heads a corporate security consulting firm. He commented at some length on my Roswell memory metal “angle” :

“Very interesting material, Mr. Bragalia. And you have obviously done a great deal of research on this particular topic, to which I must confess that I am almost totally ignorant.” Weaver continues by explaining to me that he never thought to thoroughly investigate the reports of memory metal found at Roswell: “Until actually looking up those terms (Nitinol, shape memory) in Google/Wikipedia, I had no previous knowledge of them… I was though aware of various claims made by Jesse Marcel, Jr. and others about and amazing material that sprung back to its original shape after having been wadded up.”

I asked Weaver if he had ever examined any of the National Laboratories (like Sandia) or its contract-operators (like Battelle Memorial Institute) for “clues” during his Roswell investigation. If there was material recovered from the site, it makes absolute sense that such material would be analyzed by such labs. Weaver admits the government’s failure to do so:

“We had no charter or authority to examine any records stored or maintained by any of the National Laboratories- that would have been up to the GAO.” Weaver excuses their neglect in doing so by saying: “Their purpose was to search for existing records …and not conduct an investigation of every claim that has been made concerning the event.”

This author is convinced that had the GAO and USAF Roswell investigations were more genuinely “investigative” – to include examining the records and talking to the former employees of our National Laboratories- that the Roswell mystery would have been long-solved. I asked Weaver if he knew then what he does now about this Roswell avenue of investigation what he would think about Nitinol. He responded:

“Based upon the descriptions that I have found for the material ‘Nitinol’, I would say that the foil-like material used in the Rawin targets (of Project Mogul), while flexible, did not meet the description of the characteristics for the alloy Nitinol.”

Weaver still believes that the Roswell crash was resultant from an errant Project Mogul balloon. But he clearly finds this information fascinating and that it was “reasonable research upon which reasonable men can disagree.”

Other Historical Mentions of "UFO Memory Metal"

There are in fact other (though very rare) mentions of such memory metal in the historical UFO literature that this author has uncovered:

Researcher Leonard Stringfield wrote in a book in 1978 called “Situation Red” of such a report. He recounts the story of MD in Argentina who said that he had encountered a landed UFO in 1950. Stringfield writes, “He was also amazed at the skin of the saucer, which was metallic in appearance, but had a ‘rubbery’ feel to it.” Researcher Coral Lorenzon tells of the same incident in his 1966 “Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence” and says that the Doctor “said that the disk appeared metallic but had the resilience of rubber.” Of course the skin of the alien spacecraft sounds suspiciously like what was reported at Roswell, having the power to return to its original form or position after being bent, compressed or stressed.

Although a more “esoteric” story, in 1957 Cynthia Appleton of Birmingham, UK reported an encounter that she had with an alien presence. This report is recounted online and in the UFO literature. Cynthia asked the “presence” why there were visiting our Earth. She got the reply that “We have to visit your world to obtain something of which we are running out.” When she later attempted to recall the name of the material they wanted to recover, she thought that they might have said “Titium” (tite-ee-um). When she told her husband this, who knew his way around metals, he replied “You mean Titanium.” Of course “Titanium” is one of the two essential elements need to create the memory metal Nitinol. And when researcher Kevin Randle asked General Arthur Exon of Wright Patterson what metal/s were used in the Roswell debris, Exon specifically referred to Titanium.

Former engineer Ralph Ring claims in an online video interview that consciousness and morphing metal have a great deal to do with interstellar travel. Ring was associated with the very controversial inventor Otis T. Carr in the late 1950s. Carr was, in this author’s opinion, a self-taught scientist who was onto great discoveries but who was also an “over-claimer,” greedy and alcoholic. Carr made attempts at the development of an interstellar spacecraft utilizing electro-magnetic and electro-gravity propulsion concepts. He even constructed several prototypes. Engineer Ring states that when they powered up the craft, Carr counseled them to achieve a certain pre-arranged “mental state.” As the power wound up and they achieved they desired “state” Ring said, “The metal turned to rubber and it was resilient to the touch.” He says that it was like “rubber metal.” There is an amazing parallel to this story, one that is verified: In the early 1970s the US Navy Labs’ Fred Wang (co-inventor of Nitinol) tested a psychic’s ability to bend or morph Nitinol using mental energy.

Memory Metal's "Meaning" To UFOs

What material could be better for an interstellar vehicle that one that could provide its own energy source, disguise itself at will, work in all environments and be able to heal itself when compromised? Perhaps there is “Intelligent Material” of which the UFO is made that is so “malleable” that it may be able to change state, allowing for interstellar travel. Morphing is key to cosmic transport. The craft’s material must be eminently adaptable, changing and restructuring itself at the crystalline and molecular levels- and likely even at the interdimensional level. It may be both physical and paraphysical. Though the craft are comprised of elements and are comprised of ‘material’ - they are also ‘amorphous’ and in some way must manipulate time and space. So the material must be able to “change up” instantly and at will. It must morph. Here we see in the video below an example of a morphing UFO. This is a stabilized version of the video. Though some believe it to be of balloons, I do not think so- and there are countless (and increasing) examples of such craft in our skies beyond this video, whatever one may think of it:

Why The Very "Idea" of Memory Metal Helps Prove Roswell

The Roswell memory metal revelations have been met with the gamut of responses from far and wide. But it is one, simple, small post that was made on an online discussion group related to unexplained mysteries that gave me pause. This individual made an extraordinarily perceptive comment on that site and it has stuck with me. Its beauty is in its simplicity:

“When you have a number of people from different locations of the country identifying the exact same exotic properties of the materials recovered from New Mexico, then there is no room left for claims of ‘active imaginations’ because these folks were all singing to the same tune of the exotic nature of the materials, which were not known at the time, and were alien to mankind.”

In other words, they described a material with such unusual properties years before such material became known to the general public (or would even have been invented!) The very fact that many credible first-hand witnesses recounted a remarkable metal that would “remember itself” is in and of itself remarkable. Not only was such a material never even speculated on (even in cartoons) in 1947- most people today in 2011 would have no idea what you were talking about! Remember that even Colonel Richard Weaver of the USAF himself told me that he had never even heard of Nitinol or Shape Memory alloys in his life before my articles! Well then how would 80+ year old Roswell witnesses know about Nitinol? Even if they were recounting it in 1980? What would even possess such elderly and rural people in the first place to conceive of such an idea as “morphing metal”? What would even make them think of such a thing unless it did not actually happen? What would instill such a novel idea as “moving metal” into so many different people –separated now by time, years and distance- had they not seen it? It simply makes no sense whatsoever. In fact, I strongly suspect that if one were to conduct a national poll of US adults, far less than a half-percent would have ever heard of Nitinol- or be able to in any way define “shape recovery.”

Material is Not Immutable

There is of course a far “deeper” meaning to the memory metal. It is found within the illusive intricacies of the “morph” itself- the one that scientists toil today to understand. Such material represents the potential for change and the need for intelligent adaptation. Without it, life ceases.

And more concretely, we live in an ever-changing Universe. In order to traverse it, the material we use to do so must be able to “change” as well. If galactic flight exists, matter must not be immutable. It must be able to change state- and then “remember” its original form. It must morph. Our linear thinking makes it difficult to conceive of such “malleable matter” - which is why our very mind’s relationship with matter must change if we are to ever enter the Interstellar Age.

HET BELGISCHE UFO WAARNEMINGSONDERZOEK

 
HET BELGISCHE UFO WAARNEMINGSONDERZOEK

nitiële UFO meldingen worden door menig UFO onderzoeker in de rapporteringfase louter beschouwd als meldingen van vreemde, ongewone, onbekende of ongeïdentificeerde hemelverschijnselen. Deze waarnemingsgroep van nog ongeëvalueerde waarnemingen wordt intern aangeduid als: ‘UAP waarnemingen’. UAP staat hierbij voor: ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ (Ongeïdentificeerde Luchtfenomenen). Het is pas na een analyse door bekwame onderzoekers, dat de waarnemingen worden onderverdeeld in twee hoofdcategorieën die worden aangeduid als IFO’s en UFO’s.

De IFO’s: ‘Identified Flying Objects’ (Geïdentificeerde Vliegende Objecten) vertegenwoordigen ontegensprekelijk de grootste groep, en worden voornamelijk gekenmerkt door misinterpretaties van bestaande, bekende of minder gekende hemelverschijnselen. Deze hemelverschijnselen zijn zonder uitzondering steeds terug te brengen tot verschijnselen van ofwel natuurlijke, artificiële of zinbegoochelende aard en oorsprong. Moeilijker is het gesteld met de kleinste waarnemingsgroep, de zogenaamde UFO’s: ‘Unidentified Flying Objects’ (Ongeïdentificeerde Vliegende Objecten) deze waarnemingsgroep verleent zich niet tot eenvoudige verklaringen binnenin het vertrouwde paradigma omdat het de indruk wekt daar los van te staan, en niet aldus danig wordt beschreven door de betrokken waarnemers. Hoewel er veel onenigheid bestaat over het te hanteren percentage van deze intrigerende en controversiële waarnemingsgroep, is het duidelijk dat dit sterk schommelt naargelang de plaats en periode in kwestie, en de hoeveelheid aandacht, dat er al dan niet aan werd gegeven in de media. Feit is echter wel dat de belangrijkste (officiële) studie naar UFO’s¹ 21,5 % aanduidde als ‘onbekend’, terwijl er los daarvan respectievelijk 9,3 % onthouden werd wegens gebrek aan voldoende gegevens.

De hedendaagse meldingen die bij ons binnenkomen, worden op dezelfde manier gescreend als ten tijde van het officiële onderzoek dat destijds door de Amerikaanse luchtmacht werd uitgevoerd. Zoals bij de officiële studie, zijn de meeste waarnemingen (eveneens) te identificeren aan de hand van vertrouwde oorzaken (IFO’s). Onze interesse naar deze relatief eenvoudig verklaarbare waarnemingen is nagenoeg louter statistisch van aard. Het voornaamste hulpmiddel bij het afhandelen van ongeïdentificeerde waarnemingen (UFO’s) is het gebruik van een standaard vragenlijst of ‘UFO waarnemingsverslag’. Deze wordt door de waarnemer(-s) of - onderzoeker ter plaatse - ingevuld. Wanneer een dergelijk verslag interessant genoeg blijkt, wordt het door ons uitgetypt onder de vorm van een ‘UFO waarnemingsrapport’, dat mits de onthouding van namen en adressen, beschikbaar wordt gesteld voor andere onderzoekers of geïnteresseerden. Deze rapporten hebben louter de bedoeling te fungeren als neutrale reconstructies van de waargenomen verschijnselen zoals gerapporteerd door de getuigen. Sommige waarnemingsrapporten zijn dermate gedetailleerd, complex of vreemd, dat ze uitnodigen tot verder (eventueel plaatselijk) onderzoek, in een dergelijk geval wordt er een bijkomend gedetailleerd ‘UFO onderzoeksrapport’ opgesteld, dat in tegenstelling tot de waarnemingsrapporten, zich wel kan uitlaten over de geloofwaardigheid of eigenheid van een waargenomen verschijnsel.

Grotendeels of uitsluitend dankzij de steeds luidst klinkende ‘anti UFO lobby’ en de gevestigde ‘relativerings- en ridiculiseringpolemiek’ gaat het hedendaagse UFO onderzoek gebukt onder vele moeilijkheden, zo zijn er slechts nog een handjevol waarnemers bereid te vinden om hun waarnemingen te rapporteren, laat staan om ons bij te staan in een gedetailleerder onderzoek. Daarenboven zijn alle UFO onderzoekers in ons land onbemiddeld voor de opoffering van hun vrije tijd, en dienen zij bovendien zelf in te staan voor alle onderzoekskosten die hieraan verbonden zijn. Vanzelfsprekend gaat er bovendien zeer veel tijd op in het verzamelen, sorteren, digitaliseren en analyseren van andere rapporten en publicaties, alsook onderlinge communicatie, studie, het weerleggen of ontkrachten van valse beweringen, het geven van interviews, en het schrijven van toelichtingen, bepalingen en artikels. Dit alles maakt dat meldingen en diens administratieve afhandeling soms erg lang op zich laten wachten. Heeft het Belgische UFO onderzoek dan eigenlijk nog zin? Absoluut, hoewel ons land beduidend kleiner is dan de meeste landen, scoren we verhoudingsgewijs qua meldingen per km² absoluut niet slecht. Bovendien beschikken we wegens het ontbreken van al te grote afstanden, eerder over de mogelijkheid om zowel waarnemers als observatielocaties persoonlijk te bezoeken, om aldus tot betrouwbaardere indrukken en analyses te komen. Verder resulteert een geringer aantal meldingen in een grotere zorgs- en tijdsbesteding per rapport. Zo moeten we vaststellen dat bepaalde Amerikaanse websites weliswaar een enorme meldingsstroom van vaak duizenden UFO meldingen kunnen voorleggen, maar jammer genoeg gaat het dan in de meeste gevallen om tekeningloze vluchtige impressies, zoals deze door de waarnemers zelf werden verwoord en gerapporteerd, zonder dat er verder onderzoek naar werd verricht. Wegens het ontbreken van diverse overeenkomstige essentiële parameters, hebben deze waarnemingsrapporten (behalve dan dat het er veel zijn) dan ook weinig indicatieve waarde. Voortgaand op dergelijke gebrekkige gegevens is het zelfs niet mogelijk om betrouwbare gelijkenissen, naar bijvoorbeeld uitzicht toe, te detecteren (wat toch wel een minimum vereiste zou moeten zijn).

Vragen over de hoedanigheid, oorzaken of herkomst van UFO’s zouden irrelevant moeten zijn aan de neutrale optekening van het indicatieve feitenmateriaal zoals gepresenteerd door de allesbepalende en hoofdrolspelende waarnemers. Staat de integriteit van alle UFO waarnemers en hun perceptievermogen trouwens nog steeds in vraag? Of worden we verondersteld te geloven dat UFO waarnemers enkel goed zijn in het beschrijven van VERKLAARBARE oorzaken?
