Alien Invasion/False Rapture Warning, Prophecy
Alien Invasion/False Rapture Warning, Prophecy
While Government and Media
organizations censor the extraordinary increase in UFO activity, many
people are reporting recurring dreams of a massive alien
invasion.
Prophet Linda Newkirk has now received a shocking message of a 'false
rapture/alien invasion take will indeed take place. Jesus warns in this recent
prophecy That a deadly deception will be promoted by many preachers and
televangelists, as the long awaited, 'rapture of the faithful.'
Linda's website is Prophecies Org. Important info. about the
events of Revelation 12 and other events foretold in the Book of Revelation, are
posted there as well.
From The Mountain Prophecies
Book 12, Chapter Seventy-Eight

"The Skies the World Over Will
Erupt With UFOs"
My Blessed Child, I am
your Father Yahweh, yea Jehovah, Most High God. Listen carefully to My words to
you this morning; for you come and you ask Me about an event in the skies the
world over, which shall surely come to pass. Hear Me in
this, My Blessed Child, and write what I say, that My people may be the wiser. I
say to you, oh My people, "All eyes upon Me. All eyes upon Me. All eyes upon
Me!" For, any and all, who take their eyes off Me, for even a moment, in these
most perilous of times, may very well be deceived and carried into the enemys
camp. Do you think to outsmart Satan? Do you not know
that he has been the deceiver, even from the beginning? He is master of
deception and very fine at it; and he has, at his disposal, great resources and
great armies, which you, as a people, are ignorant of. And, his armies are far
greater than you can imagine, even one third of the stars of heaven, who were
cast down with him. Yet, these are not all, but in his army are cleverly
disguised robotic elements, and robotic humans, as well as great numbers of his
own children, who are also human. Then, he also has at
his disposal billions of humans all over the world, who have fallen to his
wicked and deceptive ways, who do his bidding and are not even aware that they
do his bidding. They kill at command. They steal at command. They lie at command
and all under cover of government and official business. His chain of command is
very great and you, oh My people, are grossly ignorant of him and his vast
armies and means to both deceive you, and to destroy you. Yet, many of you think to fight these battles. For, even as some few of
you know and understand, you fight not against flesh, when you fight Satan and
his many non-human hordes, but you fight against powers and principalities of
great darkness, who are not human, and were never human, but fell from the Upper
Realms. They aligned themselves with Satan/Lucifer to fight against the Light,
for they wished to overtake the Light. They rebelled and fell, in pride and
arrogance, and are thereby filled with every evil and perverted thing; and they
wish to destroy all light on this planet and /or to consume it for themselves,
that they might still rise up and overtake you, who bear My light. So, they war
against those of you, who bear My light. None of you true
ones escape their watchful eyes and as I have said to you, these vast armies
have been cast down, but in My mercy and for the love of My Elect, I bound them
in a secret place, until there would come the right time, the time of My own
choosing, to release them. So, billions, many billions of them are bound up in
this secret place, but at the time of My own choosing, I shall release them and
they shall come forth, many, many billions of them; and they shall fill the
skies the world over. They shall come at a terrible time in the earth and at a
time when many feel hopeless and in despair, at a time when many think that they
will escape such terrible times. Through vast mind
control techniques, they will gain control over the minds of many! The curious
and the spiritually weak listen and many of them will obey the commands and they
will willingly go and enter into these ships. And, many, who believe what is
called the "early-out rapture" will believe that these ships are of Me; for
their thinking is twisted and they will fall for the great mind control, which
will come at them from many directions. Many
televangelists will be used, and preachers will be used, as mind controlled
stooges at the hands of Satan and these very evil creatures; and these
preachers, and even certain prophets, will trumpet the arrival of Jesus for His
people. Great lies, storms of lies, will beat down on the
people; and such lies will seduce the weak, as great numbers, even millions upon
millions of people the world over, will agree to enter into these
ships. Oh, the woes! Oh, the great woes! Oh the fright!
Oh, the pain! Oh, the suffering! Oh, the sorrows! For, many of you will be
killed straight away! You will be served up to these evil hoards as one great
feast, and they will feast on upon your flesh and upon your blood. For, they are
not at all human, but you will see many, who are part bird and part reptile; and
these are the Dragos. They will eat you alive, pecking and clawing at you and
delighting in your fear as they gobble your flesh and drink your blood; for it
is your life force that they wish to consume. It is your light, that they wish
to devour. But, some of you, who enter into these ships,
which will fill the skies, will be saved for greater horrors. For, they will
invade your bodies and will take over your bodies and will use your bodies to
further deceive great numbers of people. For, their ways are not your ways. They
were once of high standing in the Upper Realms, but they fell! Nevertheless,
they are not without certain supernatural powers. And, you will not understand
their powers; but when you later see some that you have seen and known to go
into these ships, appear again before your very eyes, you will delight to see
once again your friends and family, only to be consumed and devoured alive, by
the Drago, who has taken the body. Therefore, when you
see those, who go up into these ships, consider them gone and do not trust your
eyes regarding them again. These Dragos will use these
snatched bodies to take over many key positions in government, in armies, in
important trades, and in important services. Therefore,
My warnings to you to come out of the world, will be more important than ever!
For, in your day to day activities, you will encounter them, yet you will most
certainly be deceived by them, that is, all but some very, very few of
you. And, this deception will be to your own undoing; for
I warn you now that this is coming. This is going to happen, an alien
invasion/false rapture; and this will be the reward for so many, who have loved
a lie and who have spread the lie, that I would come for you before you have to
suffer in the earth. Have I not told you that you would be tried in the fires
and tested as gold and silver, yet many of you want the easy way and you will
not hear the truths, but would rather believe the lies. Now, the great liar is among you and he is not at all stupid. He is
crafty, very crafty; and he watches you and analyzes you, when you have no clue
that he is even in your midst. For, Satan, that old Dragon, has been cast down,
even as My servant, Linda Newkirk, has written. There
came a war in Heaven in the late Winter and Spring of 2006, just as my servant,
Linda Newkirk, has told you in the writings of Revelation Twelve, and Satan was
cast down. Along with him were cast down many billions of Dragos, but I
commanded Archangel Michael and others of My archangels to fight and to subdue
them and to round them up and to hide them in a secret place. For, it was not
time for them to come forth and to take their place in Satans army in the
earth. But, I tell you now, that there shall come a time, when I will set free
these vast information of Dragos and few of you will be the
wiser. Hear Me, oh you nations, who sleep and slumber.
Satan is given his time in the earth and his kingdom is in place. By the day,
you can see his great evils, and they escalate in the earth, yet so many of you
prefer deception. You will not see the truths of what is, of what has been, and
of what is to come. The time of the great sifting is at
hand and many souls will be sifted into the fires (of hell). Also, at this time,
many will make the most terrible decision to take the mark of the beast; and
these souls will be destroyed. Yes, indeed, a great sifting is at
hand. Beware, oh you, who sleep in the midst of such
evil; for in your ignorance, you will be carried away. For, you will most certainly now either seek Me with your whole heart and
you will walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, or you will be in the
camp of Satan. For, it is either one, or the other. Make
your way straight, oh My people. Keep your eyes fixed on Me. Consider Me in all
things, lest you be deceived and carried away and end up in the fires! For,
since there was a nation, there have never been times as severe, as what you are
now entering into. Make copies of this message and
distribute far and wide, that the blind may see and understand what is upon the
whole world. My Little One, My words, which you just
heard in the spirit, when translated mean, "Stay away from the Dragon," and I
have allowed you to hear these words, even in My own language, a language that
you do not know; for these words are for all nations, but especially for My
people in China and the Orient. "STAY AWAY FROM THE DRAGON!" And, with these words, I say unto you and unto all of My people. The
light of My Kingdom is in the earth and it shines to every humble and obedient
heart. Receive My light, oh My people and be filled; for this light is My pure
love to you. And, when you see all of these things come to pass, then know that
My finger tip is about to touch you, oh My Faithful Bride. I am your Father Yahweh, yea Jehovah, Most High God. As witnessed, dictated and recorded this 13th day of July,
2011, Linda Newkirk
The
following vision was received in 2007 by a woman in the USA named
Susan. Early in 1990 I began attending a small local
church which taught about the tribulation rapture. Some believed it would be
just prior to the great tribulation period and others believed it would occur
3-1/2 years after the great tribulation started, but everyone there believed in
it with all their hearts, minds and souls. Their hope seemed to be in not having
to occupy their flesh through some part or all of the great tribulation. It
appeared to be the very foundation that their faith and hope in God was based
upon, even though they did also preach Christ dying on the Cross for us all.
I have personally experienced what I believe John
experienced in Rev. 4:1-2 on many occasions, with my spirit being with The LORD
and how my flesh, as well as John's did not leave earth. The following is what I heard and what was seen during my
vision. All television stations, radio news reports and
local churches were telephoning their parishioners, they were trumpeting
locations throughout all major cities instructing the followers of Christ where
to go to be "raptured up to be with The Lord". The TV
showed the drama on every channel with people screaming, "It IS the Rapture,
Praise God! Let us go to where God IS waiting for us so we will not be left
behind in this unbearable tribulation! Quickly now, run! Not only from the media
was this chant being heard, but it was in the air everywhere, near and far.
Thousands upon thousands who previously had not come out of their homes for many
days, due to fear of being outside from the foreign military stationed
everywhere, in a frenzy flocked to the appointed places where circular aircraft
were positioned in the sky between the tallest buildings. The military stood by unusually silent and still as they let the masses
pass pressing onward to their predetermined destinations. It did not seem
unusual to anyone to see such aircraft and people were not in the least
frightened by them being there. Mostly those confessing to be Christian and even
those who did not confess to be a Christian believed it to be the army of The
LORD our God, i.e. The Rapture. I could see myself making
my way quickly to one of the closest locations to warn people, but my screams of
"NO! - Don't Go! It Is NOT The LORD" were lost as people disappeared under the
faint laser type light beamed down from the whirling circular crafts while the
sounds of "Here I am Lord, Save me! permeated above all else. My heart was heavy with an overwhelming sadness and my eyes streamed down
tears as I grievously watched the great deception. As I looked up I could
somehow hear the horrific screams of those that had been deceptively "beamed
up", but no one else appeared to hear them or their muffled cries of, "Forgive
Me, Lord", over the turmoil below. During this vision the
following Scripture came forth into my mind and is now seared forever upon my
mind and heart. "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo,
here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it
were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you
before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go
not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not." Matthew
24:23-26
July 5, 2011 My
daughter almost 7, named Victoria, had a dream she was with the Lord this Sunday
June 26th. She saw millions of alien ships around earth,
circular shaped. Victoria was told in the dream these aliens will lie to get
people in their ships, she was made to understand by the Lord that in no way
should these ships be entered. They the aliens are liars. She was shown the
weapons inside the ships and after humans entered the alien ships these weapons
will be used to kill the humans. She was shown that many people around the world
entered the alien ships and once inside the aliens ate the humans flesh raw and
will even drink their blood. Once people enter the ships
they will find out to late that they just entered the butcher shop and will be
on their menu. Blessings, Raul
Sometime in 2007 I have had several dreams about
aliens filling the skies with different sizes and shapes of crafts. In the first
dream I saw a ufo taking off that had windows around the craft. Looking closer I
saw a number of humans looking out the windows, they had very sad looks on their
faces as though they had realized the big mistake they had made. In the second dream the sky was filled with them again many different
types but mostly circular. In this dream two creatures in hooded robes came
walking up to me and I rebuked them in the name of Jesus. They then turned and
fled. In the third dream the sky again was filled and I
was yelling at people (mostly young people) telling them not to get on the craft
but they would not listen. Mark Brander Ontario Canada

Ministry
of Defence files on UFO sightings released, Mars has Water "The Hidden Truth, and Hitler's Stealth

UnidentifiedAerial Phenomena sightings were
reported over California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, New Jersey, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington. Sightings of UFOs were also
reported in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Mexico, South Africa,
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.
You can read the highlights
guide (PDF) to help you navigate your way through the files released in
August 2011.
BBC reports newly released government files on UFOs show a lack of will
an d resources to study thousands of reported sightings. The Ministry of
Defence files released by the National Archives cover reported sightings of UFOs
from 1985 to 2007. In one, a military officer predicts embarrassment if the
public discovered a "lack of funds and higher
priorities" were stopping UFO investigations....
The files also shed new light
on the famous RAF Lakenheath incident in 1956
in which Venom fighter planes were scrambled to intercept an unidentified flying
object tracked on radar. Retired RAF Fighter Controller Freddie Wimbledon's
memories of the night are included in the new release, while retired MoD
official Ralph Noyes recalls being shown gun camera footage of the UFO at a
special screening in 1970.
The files contain a wide range of UFO-related documents, drawings, letters
and parliamentary questions covering the years 1985-2007. Read eyewitness
accounts of UFO sightings, see the picture of a 'flying saucer' which was sent
for analysis by defence experts and discover the bizarre story of 'Mork and

Mars Water "The Hidden
Truth"
J. P. Skipper writes, "I suspectyou're looking mostly for civilization evidence as that is the most
dramatic, exciting, and entertaining from the public's point of view. However,
in my opinion, this is also where most of the science community resistance is
the hardest with MUFON waging a fight that is just really too much uphill from
the science community's blind living in denial point of view.
In my opinion, the evidence presentations need to concentrate on something
more at a fundamental and basic level. That is one of the reasons why my
presentations concentrate on surface water in a liquid state and biological life
taking advantage of it. In my opinion, this may have a slightly better chance of
being eventually understood and accepted at science and academia community level
because it is viewed as a bit less threatening. The way the mainstream public
behaves, this is necessary because they follow mainstream leaders that they
recognize as such and everyone else is passed off as just a rogue element.
If science and academia community types once begin to grasp that yes there is
surface water on Mars in a liquid state and yes there appears to be basic forest
life taking advantage of it, then the implications begin to sneak up on them and
then it's too late to very successfully back off. Implications like unfrozen
surface means milder temperatures than they've been led to believe as well as an
atmospheric envelope not as concentrated with CO2. Forests around them and flourishing carry the same message.
Once they begin to question this most basic of data at the very root of the
secrecy, the process of questioning anything at all itself begins to gain
momentum that will also eventually lead to recognition of the civilization
evidence. On the other hand, just sticking civilization evidence alone in front
of them doesn't work well enough because it is perceived by them to be
threatening and something to fear creating an emotional reaction. That reaction
just allows them to escape in denial by traditionally and safely dismissing it
all as "conspiracy theory."
At the above link on my page promoting my book and its evidence are several
profound surface water and forest life image. It's just my thinking of course
but I think that you and MUFON pushing this kind of visual evidence and pounding
this theme into the sand heads in addition to the usual civilization evidence
will be more effective in the long run.

DARPA Falcon Hypersonic Aircraft Is
Missing
The Falcon $300 million dollar Hypersonic
Technology Vehicle 2 appears to be lost. On August 11, 2011, the 13,000 mph
aircraft of the future took off for a crucial test flight. Within hours it was
missing and apparently crashed into the Pacific Ocean. It was flying at mach 20
or twenty times the speed of sound when it stopped sending signals.
The Falcon hypersonic HTV-2 is an unmanned, rocket-launched, maneuverable
aircraft that glides through the Earth's atmosphere designed to reach anywhere
on earth in an hour or less. The vehicle is launched within a rocket that sheds
its cocoon upon reaching altitude.
Falcon is part of an advanced weapons program, called Conventional Prompt
Global Strike. It blasted off from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base at
7:45 AM, on board an Air Force Minotaur IV rocket.
Several tests from Vandenberg AFB have been intercepted and destroyed by
UFOs in the past. Air Force Major Chris Schulz, DARPA HTV-2 program manager,
stated, "We know how to boost the aircraft to near space. We know
how to insert the aircraft into atmospheric hypersonic flight."
The Falcon is 1 2 feet long, weight is900kg, and it is made of experimental material that can
withstand up to 3,500f (2000C). Its payload is anything up to 12,000 lbs.
Its first test flight in April 2010, lasted nine minutes and also crashed itself
into the ocean.
MUFON STAR Team Manager and Texas Chief
Investigator Fletcher Gray feels points out DARPA only released the information
on the crash after reports from the MUFON CMS data indicated that this vehicle
may have been launched as early as August 9, 2011, around 10:40 PM.
"News reports did indicate that a launch took
place at Vandenberg AF Base over the Pacific Ocean toward the Kwajalein Islands.
This would place the craft over the Hawaiian Islands. Information from the
witness report leads this Investigator to believe that DARPA didn't conduct a
press release until two days after the event. An eyewitness coming fourth
validates the reporting system of MUFON being a great research tool for Ufology.
"A witness on vacation in the Hawaiian Islands
filed the following statement: (MUFON Case 30796 Witness statement reads in
part) 'On August 9, 2011, around 10:40 p.m. I noticed it because I
was staring right where it seems to appear out of thin air. It was a ball of
light that resembled an egg/oval/missile leaving a pretty large trail that
glowed just as bright behind it. We watched it cross the sky for about 3-5
seconds when it accelerated and the object itself expanded or glowed brighter
and disappeared.'
"Other test projects of this type
called Black Swift and the HTV-3 may have contributed to a lot of the sighting
reports over the years that may have been filed with MUFON. These tests may have
been the earliest long range deployment and stability flights conducted by the
US Air Force. It is not known at this time if the HTV-2 can be put into low
orbit and maneuvered to its striking point. Indications are this test flight
lost control at Mach 20 and splashed down near the Kwajalein Atolls. This
Investigator will follow-up on reports in reference to this type of events as
they come in." Thanks to

DARPA Hale D High Altitude Airship
AnomalyCauses Crash
Akron, Ohio-- Lockheed Martin said the airship or blimp was launched from
Akron, Ohio, at 5:47 a.m. and reached 32,000 feet before "an anomaly" stopped it from climbing to its target of 60,000 feet.
"At that time, a decision was made to bring the airship back down,
and that's what we did. We brought it down into a remote, lightly populated
area," said Jim Gring, of Lockheed Martin.
The airship crashed near New Freeport, Pennsylvania andis a crumpled in a heap atop some trees. The High
Altitude Long Endurance-Demonstrator (HALE-D) -- is an un-tethered, unmanned
lighter-than-air vehicle that will operate above the jet stream in a
geostationary position to deliver persistent station keeping as a surveillance
platform, telecommunications relay, or a weather observer. The HAA also provides
the Warfighter affordable, ever-present Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance and rapid communications connectivity over the entire battle
space. The anomaly that caused the airship to be
brought down has not been explained. Thanks to Bruce Maccabee who noticed the
story.
Hitler's Stealth Bomber
Paul S. Laskodi writes, " Keep in mind, this aircraft was built in the 1940's. It
resembles our Stealth bombers of today. Had Hitler got these into production
sooner, the world wouldn't be what it is today.
With its smooth and elegant lines, this could be a
prototype for some future successor to the stealth bomber. But this flying wing
was actually designed by the Nazis 30 years before the Americans successfully
developed radar-invisible technology. Now an engineering team has reconstructed
the Horten Ho 2-29 from blueprints, with startling results. Blast from the past:
The full-scale replica of the Ho 2-29 bomber was made with materials available
in the '40s.
Futuristic: The stealth plane
design was years ahead of its time. It was faster and more efficient than any
other plane of the period and its stealth powers did work against radar. Experts
are now convinced that given a little bit more time, the mass deployment of this
aircraft could have changed the course of the war.
First built and tested in the air in March 1944, it was
designed with a greater range and speed than any plane previously built and was
the first aircraft to use the stealth technology now deployed by the U.S. in its
B-2 bombers. Thankfully Hitler's engineers only made three prototypes, tested by
being dragged behind a glider, and were not able to build them on an industrial
scale before the Allied forces invaded.
In 1943 Luftwaffe chief Hermann
Goering demanded that designers come up with a bomber that would meet his
requirements, one that could carry 1,000 kg over 1,000km flying at 1,000km/h.
A
wing section of the stealth bomber at right shows the jet intakes were years
ahead of their time. Two pilot brothers Reimar and Walter Horten, suggested a
flying wing design they had been working on for years.. They were convinced that
with its low drag such a plane would meet Goering's requirements.
Construction on a prototype was
begun in Goettingen in Germany in 1944.
The centre pod was made from a welded steel tube,
and was designed to be powered by a BMW 003 engine. The most important
innovation was Reimar Horten's idea to coat it in a mix of charcoal dust and
wood glue.
The 142-foot wingspan bomber was submitted for approval in
1944, and it would have been able to fly from Berlin to New York and back
without refueling, thanks to the same blended wing design and six BMW 003A
turbojets. They thought the electromagnetic waves of radar would be absorbed,
and in conjunction with the aircraft's sculpted surfaces the craft would be
rendered almost invisible to radar detectors. The plane was covered in radar
absorbent paint with a high graphite content, which has a similar chemical
make-up to charcoal. This was the same method eventually used by the U.S. in its
first stealth aircraft in the early 1980s, the F-117A Nighthawk.
After the war the
Americans captured the prototype Gotha Go 229s along with the blueprints and
used some of their technological advances to aid their own designs. Now using
the blueprints and the only remaining prototype craft, Northrop-Grumman (the
defense firm behind the B-2) built a full-size replica of a Horten Ho
2-29.
Luckily for Britain , the Horten
flying wing fighter-bomber never got much further than the blueprint stage
above.
The plane could have been in London eight minutes after the radar
system detected it. It took them 2,500 man-hours and $250,000 to construct, and
although their replica cannot fly, it was radar-tested by placing it on a 50 ft
articulating pole and exposing it to electromagnetic waves. Although the
aircraft is not completely invisible to the type of radar used in the war, it
would have been stealthy enough and fast enough to ensure that it could reach
London before Spitfires could be scrambled to intercept it. The research was
filmed for a National Geographic documentary. Thanks to Paul S. Laskodi
U.S.M.C. Retired
Sightings in the United States
California Lights
On August 5, 2011, while working in my garage I stopped to
go out front looked up and about a mile in front of me is this light. I keep
looking at it thinking it was a plane then it changed courses abruptly so I went
to get my wife. She looked and got scared so I pulled my cell phone out to take
a picture and then my phone went dead, so I went in the house to get my video
camera and it went dead. I found an old Sony camera that still worked and was
able to take several pictures and some video. I observed the object for about 8
minutes then it took off. Thanks to MUFON CMS
SANTA BARABARA -- Paulette Sfetku writes, "I was
lying in a lounge chair around noon in in Carpinteria in mid June and the sun
was barely blue, being filled with misty, gray chemtrails. There
was an opening in the sky that seemed fairly circular; and I saw the UFO fly
straight through the middle of it in less than 1 minute. It was moving parallel
to the ground like an airplane but there was no sound. The rounded nose of the
ship slowly moved into view from the east and the outline, of the ship became
visible; and seemingly materialized through the chemtrail mist.
When the nose crossed into the middle of the opening, the body of the ship
was visible, but only its only an outline showed as it entered the clouds. So,
the part of the ship that was moving through the center of the opening was fully
visiblebecause that is where the strongest rays of sunlight struck it.
It was huge, long, fat, shiny, silver, cigar-shaped and had one set of very
short, fat lateral wings on each side. It was astonishing how low in the sky it
was flying. The chemtrails was the ship's shroud of invisibility. Thanks to
Paulette.
ANAHEIM --W hile we were fishing on a local private lake my husband
noticed an odd dimly lighted triangle shaped object traveling southwest at 11:06
PM, on July 23, 2011. He told me to look at it to make sure we both believed it
was a UFO. It was traveling steady at about 75 miles per hour at about 2000 feet
up. The triangle shape blocked our view of stars. It had large white glowing
lights similar to a florescent bulb that were casting a glow showing the
triangle shape. It was flying straight and made no sound. After it passed by we
got a very good view of the back of the craft that was a flat dark surface about
15 to 20 feet high. We continued to watch it until it was out of sight. I do not
think the craft could be secret military craft and did not look aerodynamic.

MT. EVANS WILDERNESS AREA -- My wife took some panoramic
photos on August 13, 2011, while we were hiking the Abyss Lake Trail. The area
we were hiking in is located 9 miles north of Grant, CO off of Guanella Pass
Road. We have a before and after photo, in which we cannot ascertain the
identity of the object in one of our photos. My wife who is a serious skeptic of
these cases has really come to question her beliefs in these matters. Thanks to
MUFON CMS
KEY LARGO -- The witness and his
son were fishing from a dock at the Seafarer Hotel with two other adults and two
children when they saw a boomerang-shaped object moving quickly across the night
sky on August 8, 2011, with five or six non-blinking lights. He
states,
"Suddenly from the west southwest I
saw a large quick moving object shaped like a chevron, making absolutely no
sound, fly right across my direct vision, blocking the star light as it passed,
and having what I think were maybe 5 or 6 white lights that were not blinking
and ran along the bottom of the object.It moved quickly, steadily, and completely
soundless, and it was out of my view in probably 5 to 7 seconds -- but it was as
real as anything I have ever seen. I was in total amazement."

Illinois
Rudder
O'Hare Airport -- I was on my balcony facing east with my SO
and she saw the object first. "Is that a black bag?" I
looked at it and realized it was not. She agreed it was definitely not a bag
because it didn't float, dip or dive and the shape was wrong. What we saw was
matte-black, moving southeast in a straight line at 9:30 PM on Saturday evening
on August 13, 2011. The object had no lights was and made no sound at all.
It was like a helicopter without blades and wings, but seemed to have a
rudder that was moving in an opposite direction of the body. It was rotating
clockwise and moved quickly and was matte-black with weird edges. We could see
the rudder-like part when the object went past the moon beneath the cloud cover.
I thought the object was smaller than a helicopter and traveling
slightly under the normal altitude for helicopters without lights and no sound.
It was moving faster than a jet. We also saw a jet leaving O'Hare Airport going
southeast far behind the object. It was very eerie. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Orb
Charlestown -- I was at my friend's house off Route 403 on
August 8, 2011, talking with three friends noticing the clouds at 7:18 PM, when
I said, "Whats that, that's not the moon it's too
small?" My friend saw it briefly before it moved behind the
clouds. He thought it was a star, but stars don't move and wasn't burning like a
meteorite. I think it was too big to be a weather balloon. We saw an airplane on
the far left side earlier that was lower and was kind of a point of reference.

MassachusettsLarge Glowing
Sphere
Lawrence -- Last night, August 1, 2011 at 12:45 AM, as I was
pointing out the constellations to a friend's younger brothers, I noticed a very
strange fiery orange/yellow globe appear in the sky to the left of Mars in the
west. The huge object was stationary for a minute or so. When I pointed it out
to the boys they thought it was the moon! It stayed hovering in the sky fixed in
that one spot. After a few moments of staring at the object it suddenly
vanished, then reappeared further away in the same area.
It was smaller and still glowing in the distance. Seconds later it vanished
again and instantly reappeared moving to the right. I was stunned and the boys
were frightened. It then appeared as two lights in what seemed like a strange
bar like object with curved edges still moving to the right. It vanished from
sight as it passed behind the trees in the distance and never returned. Thanks

Michigan Cylinder
Croswell -- On August 15, 2011, at 7 :20
PM, I was sitting with my husband on our porch, and saw a strange cigar or
Ibuprofen shaped object. It was bright white with a dark spot in the middle, at
about airplane height and speed as it seemed to be moving farther away in
straight path. My husband grabbed binoculars and through them we saw were no
wings on the craft and flames coming out of one end, as if it was propelled by
rockets. It looked like a missile or a thruster that falls off a space shuttle
might look like. I have seen orange yellow orbs in the same area. We lost sight
of object when it moved past the tree line. I included a sketch of the object.

Missouri Huge Disc
KANSAS CITY -- I left my office
and was traveling west on 23rd street in Independence on August 7, 2011, , when
I saw a huge disc shaped dull gray metallic object hovering over the north half
of downtown Kansas City. You can see the KC skyline clearly from the high hill I
was driving on. As a UFO investigator, I shouldn't be shocked by anything, but
in this case, I was very surprised by what I saw, especially since I had
received a report earlier in the day from a witness who described a similar very
large craft in South Kansas City. The object did not move and I saw it clearly
for two to three seconds.
It was a disk shape, with flat sides, and a domed top. I could not see any
details or lights. I estimate the size to be five miles wide. I immediately
called several people I knew and other MUFON field investigators to see if they
could see anything from their vantage point. I went outside and started taking
random photos of the sky. Just as I turned the camera off I noticed what looked
like a commercial jet flying at high speed and 5,000 feet or less and almost
completely sideways with both wings clearly visible! It was banking hard to the
left heading southwest. That type of maneuver is usually reserved for smaller
craft, not a commercial airliner. Right after the jet was out of sight, a large
round white object the size of a dinner plate at arm's length with a hole in the
center appeared and disappeared in the exact same location as where I first saw
the jet. I then posted a message at 12:15 PM to the Missouri MUFON chat list
about what was going on. A witness called to report a giant UFO over south
Kansas City from 1:30 - 3:00 PM.
A UFO spotter and photographer in Topeka, Kansas (72 miles from KC)
photographs multiple UFOS in "battle mode." He has been able to capture UFOs on
film using a special method and AB UV sunglasses. At 2 PM - a KC MUFON member
reported a large number of UH-60 helicopters flying very low at treetop level at
125th and State Line in south Kansas City.
At 4:20 PM - I saw the large disc over downtown KC, then the plane, and a
white disc.
Latan -- At 5:20 PM. - a MUFON field investigator saw a
strange cloud with structure from his vantage point across the river in Kansas.
I took six pictures in a row, then analyzed them. In one shot out of the
series there are multiple orbs in my yard, and in subsequent photos there are
tiny red and blue lights that can't be explained.
I then took a nap, which is unusual for me, and was unaware that the power
had gone completely off. I was awakened by a loud static noise with lots of
voices talking at the same time coming from the radio. I sat up and looked at
the radio, but the power was out so it should have been impossible for that to
happen.
Westport -- On Monday, we had a guest speaker from St. Louis
MUFON attend our monthly meeting. After it was over we were standing outside
talking and I saw a bullet-shaped white line, then a white crescent shaped
object appear and disappear very quickly. No one else saw anything. I am
surmising that some of these objects are things that come into view for a short
period of time, and are noticed by clairvoyants like me, but not by others.
I took a picture at my sighting location on 23rd street facing west
9 miles from downtown KC one week after the sighting. I drew in a ufo to show
the size of the object. There have been numerous sightings for over six weeks

New Jersey Lights
WESTFIELD -- I was relaxing on my back
stoop on July 29, 2011, and spotted a ball of light rising in front of me from
the west, and tracking nearly straight up. I live in the traffic lanes of Newark
Liberty Airport, and have seen and photographed many planes. I'm a skeptic, and
had my cell phone nearby, and started videotaping the white ball, about the size
of Jupiter, across the sky and down behind a tree. I later confirmed this to be
a flyover of the ISS, at a very bright magnitude -3.7. I reviewed the footage
and examined the area where the ISS had emerged and noticed at roof level to the
home across the street an oval canted, glowing jellyfish. It was like a bubble
of soap, white top and bottom of the ellipse, with red pulsing light on the
bottom tip that changed colors. I caught a few seconds of video before the
object brightened, then moved out of sight behind the neighbor's roof. I ran to
my front lawn, caught sight of it again, and snapped as many pictures as I could
before it disappeared.
I returned to my porch, and the object reappeared on the
opposite side of the house, in a brief hole between two trees and disappeared. I
have since heard from a second witness who saw the same object at 3 AM, the
following morning. This case is under investigation by Ed Dobson, Thanks To Ken
Pfeifer MUFON New Jersey www.worldufophotos.org
BERNARDSVILLE -- On August 12, 2011, on my way south on
Route 287, just north of Mt. Airy Road, I saw an object float east over the
highway ahead of me. As I caught up to it, it was kind of saucer shaped but had
spikes evenly distributed around the circumference of it. It floated in a
straight line but turned to straight up and down as I was directly underneath
it. I could not see it any more as it was behind me. I don't think there were
any other autos around. It could have been a special kids balloon, but I could
not find one on the web like it anywhere. It looked like Saturn with spikes
instead of a ring around it and was about 400 feet up. The image is a rendering.
This case is under investigation by Ken Pfeifer of MUFON New Jersey. Thanks to

New Mexico Mutilation
Trinidad-- Chuck Zukowski writes, "Monday morning
August 8th, 2011, I was contacted by rancher Miller who informed me that one of
his cows had been mutilated over the past weekend. I
made arrangements to see the cow later
that afternoon. The mutilated animal had incisions on the head, between the
forelegs, near the utter and at the anal area. There were no signs of predator
take-down evidence, no signs of human intervention, and absolutely no signs of
the animal struggling to survive. Complete mutilation investigative notes at :http://www.ufonut.com/wordpress/?p=3375Thanks to Chuck Zukowski
Pennsylvania Disc and Lights
Elizabethtown -- On August 12, 2011, while
letting the dog out at 9 PM, my girlfriend screamed for me and asked me what a
meteor shower looked like? I described it as falling stars. She then said,
"I saw a UFO coming towards me from the west and it turned north
about 200 yards from our house. She described the UFO as a disk
shaped object with a dome on top. At the bottom of the dome there were windows
with white light. She said, "The lower half of the disk was spinning
slowly and had large bright blue, red, and white lights emanating from
it. She stated, "The UFO was traveling slowly and
silently with its lights reflecting off the tops of the trees which are 90 feet
off of the ground. The sun was setting and the moon was almost
full with clear skies. We live on the path for MDT and are used to seeing very
aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS
LEECHBURG -- I was sitting in my car eating on August 9,
2011, when an 400 feet away from me. It moved slowly towards where I was sitting
and was about 1000 feet in the air. It was at least 100 feet in diameter and
after about 30 seconds it disappeared. I have seen at least seven discs,
sphere's, and cigar shaped ufo's in my area over three months. Some were in the
daytime, and some at night. I'm 29 years old and sick of government and military
entities keeping alien life from us. snip
KENS NOTE: There are thousands of witnesses who report their
sightings that feel the same way as this witness. It's frustrating because our
government knows these things are real, but no one has the balls to come forth
and set the record straight. I am very grateful of MUFON because we at least
have a organization where can document and investigate these cases. Thanks to

South Carolina Triangle
Sumter -- While looking into the night skies I
notices a particular star moving on August 7, 2011. As I continued my
observations, the white/bright unknown object began panning left to right,
forward and then backwards at a high rate of speed. No sound could be heard. As
the sun began to rise I requested that my co-worker to meet with me and to show
him what taking place.. He stated, That's a moving star or light and no other
stars were visible. The unknown white/bright object continued to move from left
to right then forward to backward. After the sun had displayed complete daylight
the object colorations changed to a light grayish tone as it appeared to incline
upward. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/
Tennessee Cylinder and Very Low Object W/

TAZEWELL -- It flew directly over the
house on August 8, 2011, at fairly fast speed, heading in a northeasterly
direction. There were very clear skies and plenty of daylight left at 8 PM. The
picture I added are very similar to what we saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Memphis -- At 2 AM, on August 2, 2011, I was watching TV
when I heard what sounded like a helicopter circling the building really low. I
opened the balcony door and saw a dark cylinder with a red and a green light
with one blinking. There was also a spotlight on the front of the object. The
object also looked to have dark circles on the cylinder part that were just part
of the craft itself. I screamed to my girlfriend and heard it coming back and
she also saw it. The cylinder dark part of it was facing slighting downwards,
like it was looking for someone or something. It flew over again. I could tell
it was not man-made as it shifted its spotlight. It pointed the light right over
me and I knew it saw me as it flew right above the antenna no more than 15 feet
above my head. At this angle, it appeared "wider" or "fatter" more like a soda
can. I made sketches of it.
We have been seeing objects for weeks and making reports. The UFOs are
usually silver cigar/cylinder shaped and make no sound and appear to glide
across the sky, seeming to appear out of nowhere. Snip. Thanks to Peter
Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/
Virginia Bright Light High in Sky
Newport News -- I took my dog out to the back yard at 10:15
PM, on August 2, 2011, and was admiring the stars when one star that was moving
got my attention. It was above the normal flight path of the aircraft that fly
over my house. I was watching this "star when it went out, but I could still see
a non-blinking faint red light as the object transited the sky. It was just west
of the Big Dipper moving southwest. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National

Katherine -- A Northern Territory man has
not only seen a mysterious object in the sky "on July 29, 2011. He also took
photos of it according to Annie Hesse. David Schuman was having dinner with his
boss Phil Richardson near Katherine's Strongbala Men's Healing Centre last
Tuesday when an "unusual large star" caught their eyes. "We were
both seated around the dinner table, running through the day's events when all
of a sudden the boss said,'Hey, that's an unusually large star - in fact that's
too big for a star, what is that?," Mr Schuman said.
"We saw a very large brightly lit object and it just stood there
hovering for 20 minutes above the tree line." Mr Schuman said
"I usually carry my camera with me where ever I go - even in the
shower, because you never know," he said. "There was a
real glowing about the object and it was very bright and every picture that I
took was done with a degree of urgency." Mr Schuman said in a
later examination, -- THEY are out there, the guys from upstairs,
are back in our neck of the world. Thanks to Katherine

Italy Triangle
Shortly after returning from work here in Italy, four aircraft mechanics
witnessed a triangle craft or three separate craft fly over our hotel at 12:51
AM. The triangle was transparent as we could see stars from the Big Dipper
through the triangle shape as it passed over the hotel. It then banked to the
left and shot out of sight heading northwest. We observed this triangle for ten
seconds. I was in the Air Force for 15 years, I have never seen anything plane
that could fly like this or resemble this shape. Thanks to MUFON CMS

BANBURY -- I used to cycle back home from work on my cycle
through dark unlit country roads in October of 1999. I was heading west along
Welsh Road when I saw an object about the size of a UK water tower. The light
that appeared to circle around the object gave it a disc like appearance. There
were vertical deep red lights that reminded me of a florescent bulb orbiting the
object. I phoned my father to see if he'd come and see it, but he was not
willing to drive down. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kingston upon Hull -- My friend and I were sitting in my
back yard on August 8, 2011, at 12:22 AM, when I noticed an object like a star
moving around very erratically that seemed to be out of control. Then in one
split second it had a huge burst of speed and disappeared. Two minutes later
another object identical to the previous was spotted further on and was moving
erratically as before and disappeared after a huge burst of speed.
This
happened two more times in similar ways. We went back into the house because my
friend was very tired, but I was stunned at what I saw. All of the objects
looked like stars but there behavior was too much like an aircraft that wasn't
human and they where white with a silvery haze round them. Thanks to Peter

Cryptomundo » Bob Girard of Arcturus Books Has Died
Cryptomundo » Bob Girard of Arcturus Books Has Died
The incredible bookseller, founder and owner of Arcturus Books, Robert Girard
died on Friday, August 12, 2011, in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. He had been at
the helm of Arcturus since 1980.
For years, anyone who received the printed catalogues and then the emailings
from bookseller Bob Girard has experienced some of the most in-depth,
opinionated, cutting, humorous reviews and insights about books on
cryptozoology, ancient mysteries, Forteana, ufology, parapsychology, and more
available.
Bob was a friend. I had known him for over thirty years. I helped him get his
mailing list together, I ordered books from him routinely, and hed sell books
of mine direct from the publishers. He wasnt always kind about what he saw in
my books, but I liked him for his honest critiques.
A couple weeks ago, Bob told me he was dying and bills were a problem, as
always, due to the decline of the book business. He sent this notice out
publicly to his catalogue readers:
This will serve as a short update regarding my health issues as they relate
to Arcturus Books. I am badly hobbled by blood clots in both legs, though the
one in my left leg has left me immobile, just barely able to move on two legs.
Blood clots are an indicator of cancer, and I have just now started the journey
I never wanted to makethe one seeking out cancer (prostate) and its extent,
could be migrating to the bones, which is late in the game. Between the lack of
mobility and inability to do physical work, I have backed up a number of recent
orders and back orders. I need to somehow get on top of the clot situation but
there just doesnt seem to be any realistic answer to it. The left leg has to be
watched closely for worsening, while improvement just doesnt seem possible
because of the lack of circulation. Meantime it hurts like hell.
So there are orders piling up hereand I urgently need MORE orders of all
kinds. I have books enough to do a new catalog but medical appointments are
wiping out what working time I can arrange, and life will be like this for some
months ahead. It is ironic indeed that a moment long dreaded by both me and,
presumably, my customers has arrived for us at the same time. This is where you
will likely soon lose your book source for good. It is where I may lose mine,
too, and maybe even my life. Both sidesbuyers and sellerfailed to take care
of business in our respective ways over the years, foolishly taking for granted
that the future would automatically continue the past. Got Brains? Youd better
get every dollar you can in here right now, and gorge your library with whatever
isnt nailed down here. You already know youre never getting MY booksbut there
are still plenty around here that you can have. Meantime Ill try to get on my
feet more reliably, and get late shipments out, and will try to get more books
in with which to continue.
My plan is to go until Im stopped. Arcturus Books July 21,
2011
I asked him if I could post another notice on Cryptomundo to help sales of
his used books. He really didnt want me to, for, he said, he might get too many
orders to ever complete.
It turns out I did not realize how little time he had left.
Bob wrote me on July 27th:
Dear Loren,
Youve always struck me as being one of the most generous and selfless souls
in all of paranormal research, and your kind offer here does nothing to sour my
opinion. It looks as though Im terminal with prostate cancer. I dont know how
much normal time I might have left, but because this condition has been
undoubtedly discovered late, my time is probably measured in a few months. I
cant imagine having much more. I dont know what approach to take except to
play out the hand as best I can, do what I can manage to do, and leave the rest
in as capable hands as I can. It seems to me better to take it day by day, for
any one of the coming days may turn disastrous, leaving whatever efforts YOU
might have made on Arcturuss behalf in a shambles. It seems so precarious to me
that its all probably better if just left to us and to fate. I dont intend to
make any major investments in Arcturus from here on. Ill just try to strip it
as much as I can, and close it when I feel I cant run it gainfully any longer.
Subject to whatever minor or major adjustments seem warranted. I do wish to
thank you for all of your previous help to Arcturus over the years, and I wish
you the best in both your personal and professional life.
Best wishes always Bob
Thats the last I heard from Bob.
The greatest national bookseller of used books ranging from cryptozoology to
Forteana, from ufology to parapsychology has passed away.
I am sad to convey this news that is making the rounds of the book world. I
send out my deepest condolences to Bobs family, and especially to Monica who
was Bobs and Arcturus partner for the last 24 years.
In-depth interview with leading UFO researcher, Jacques Vallee. PART
1
Jacques Vallee hesitated before agreeing to be interviewed about the
subject for which he's most famous: UFOs. It's not that he's reluctant to
discuss the topic, or tussle with the skeptics. After all, he's written close to
a dozen books on UFOs, several of them best-sellers, analyzing a notoriously
ethereal subject as a hard-headed physical scientist, folklorist, and
sociologist. He believes there is more than enough solid evidence to make a
compelling case for the existence of UFOs, and he doesn't shy away from an
honest debate.
It's the hard-core believers who give Vallee pause.
Anyone who has observed the semi-academic cockpit known as "UFOlogy" knows that
close encounters of the UFO expert kind shed little light and much heat, dogma
and territorial sniping. Vallee's views about UFOs are far more exotic and far
stranger than what he calls the reigning "nuts and bolts" approach to the
subject. Consequently, he's been attacked by believers so often that he jokingly
refers to himself a "heretic among heretics." As Vallee puts it, "I will be
disappointed if UFOs turn out to be nothing more than spaceships."
In
his recent autobiographical book, Forbidden Science, Vallee summed up his views
about the provenance of UFOs, a viewpoint that he's developed through decades of
research: "The UFO Phenomenon exists. It has been with us throughout history. It
is physical in nature and it remains unexplained in terms of contemporary
science. It represents a level of consciousness that we have not yet recognized,
and which is able to manipulate dimensions beyond time and space as we
understand them." So much for anti-gravity-powered starships ferrying Big
Brothers from outer space. Vallee thinks UFOs are likely "windows" to other
dimensions manipulated by intelligent, often mischievous, always enigmatic
beings we have yet to understand. (60 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time covers
Vallee's theories in detail.)
No other UFO researcher has contributed
more to an admittedly controversial field. But Vallee commands a measure of
respect that must leave his colleagues feeling a bit envious. Even Philip Klass,
the avionics expert and the media's favorite UFO-debunker, calls Vallee "one of
the more distinguished members of the pro-UFO community." Vallee, he adds, "is
one of the brighter physical scientists who believes in UFOs."
Vallee
moved to America from his native France in the early 1960s, as young
astronomer-turned-computer scientist. Vallee pioneered the use of computers to
analyze and categorize the UFO phenomenon, and his 1965 book, Anatomy of a
Phenomenon, is still considered one of the most scholarly books on UFOs ever
written. At Northwestern University, Vallee assisted Prof. J. Allen Hynek, the
academic consultant on the Air Force's infamous Project Bluebook, now seen by
most saucer students as either a half-hearted government effort to address the
UFO craze of the 1950s and 1960s or a full-blown coverup. While working with
Hynek, Vallee and his wife, Janine, compiled the first-ever computer database of
UFO sightings.
In 1969, Vallee published another groundbreaking book,
Passport to Magonia, in which he collected a body of folkloric "myths" that read
remarkably like modern UFO encounters, from Celtic tales of fairyland abductions
to Biblical passages and medieval chronicles of "visitors" from beyond. Building
on Carl Jung's thesis that UFOs are a sociological phenomenon, a product of the
collective unconscious, Vallee forever left behind the space-bound E.T.
theorists. But his folklorist's approach to the problem would influence a number
of later researchers and writers who continue to echo his ideas about
other-dimensional forms of consciousness. Best-selling author Whitley Strieber,
Harvard "abductee psychologist" John Mack, and journalist Keith Thompson (author
of Angels and Aliens all owe a debt to Vallee. Stephen Spielberg paid homage to
Vallee in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, basing his French scientist
character (played by Francois Truffaut) on the real French UFO theorist.
We recently had lunch with Vallee in San Francisco at restaurant around
the corner from the offices of his high-technology venture capital firm. Part 1
of that interview covers Vallee's theories about UFOs and his belief that
science can penetrate mystery of flying disks and alien beings. In Part 2, which
we'll publish later this month, Vallee discusses the second sphere of his
researches: The connection between the UFO phenomenon and the religious impulse.
Vallee believes that the intelligence guiding UFOs is a kind of control
mechanism, an invisible hand shaping the development of human consciousness over
a period of eons. In the second installment he also talks about the theory that
from time to time governments have manipulated public opinion through UFO
mythology--in some instances constructing elaborate hoaxes for propagandistic
purposes. -------------------------------------------------
60GCAT: Why are Americans obsessed with the idea that outer space
aliens are the pilots of UFOs?
Vallee: I think Americans, if they
are interested in the subject, are very literal. They want to kick the tires,
which is a good American thing to do. They want to do reverse engineering on the
propulsion system. And when I tell them, "Look, maybe those things don't have a
propulsion system," you get a strange reaction. Just like, if you remember, in
Close Encounters, the Truffaut character keeps going around saying this is a
sociological phenomenon, not just physical. And he has a lot of trouble getting
that idea across.
60GCAT: At one point you subscribed to the theory that
UFOs might be extraterrestrial in origin. . . .
Vallee: When I
met Stephen Spielberg, I argued with him that the subject was even more
interesting if it wasn't extraterrestrials. If it was real, physical, but not
ET. So he said, "You're probably right, but that's not what the public is
expecting--this is Hollywood and I want to give people something that's close to
what they expect." Which is fair.
60GCAT: So what do we know for sure
about the nature of UFOs?
Vallee: There is a phenomenon. We don't
know where it comes from. It's characterized by its physical [traces]. Eighty
percent of all the cases have trivial explanations. But I'm talking about the
core phenomena. It seems to involve a lot of energy in a small space; it seems
to involve pulsed microwaves, among other things. There isn't much that is known
about the effect of pulsed microwaves on the brain, so it's quite possible that
some of the stories that you get from people are essentially induced
hallucinations in sincere witnesses--the witnesses are not lying. They really
have been exposed to something genuine but there is no way to go back to what
that thing was, based on their description, because their brain has been
affected by proximity to that energy.
Having said that, I have plenty of
colleagues in science and technology I respect who tell me this could be a
natural phenomenon--this could be an undiscovered form of energy in the
atmosphere. We don't know much about the effect of electromagnetic fields on the
nervous system. We're going to be discovering that as we go. So, it's quite
possible that there could be a phenomenon like that, a very spontaneous thing.
Or it could be artificial. If it's artificial it could come from another form of
consciousness, which may or may not be extraterrestrial. It's a big universe out
there. Who are we to say where it comes from? We can only speculate on that
point.
60GCAT: How can we use our own comparatively backward technology
to investigate this mystery?
Vallee: Where I think that technology can
be of help is in looking for patterns. And I did as much of that as anybody
else. I built, with my wife, the first computer database of UFO sightings. But
where I think computers could be used much better is in applying artificial
intelligence, reason, and inference to eliminating the reports that have natural
causes. I developed a software prototype of that, which was called OVNIBASE,
which I turned over to the French CNES; presumably they are developing a next
version of it, and running it on their database.
60GCAT: What about
other technologies that can help us analyze evidence better than we could, say,
10 years ago?
Vallee: Digital enhancement of photographs is very
useful. In my book, Confrontations, I mention the photograph that I brought back
from Costa Rica, which was unusual because the object was over a lake [Lago de
Cote], so there was a uniform black background. Everything is known about the
aircraft that took the photo. At the time the picture was taken [in 1971],
nobody on the plane had seen the object. It was only after the film was
developed that the object was discovered. The camera used was exceptional: It
produced a very large negative--ten inches, very detailed. You can see cows in
the field. The time is known; the latitude, longitude and attitude of the
aircraft is known. So we spent a lot of time analyzing that photograph, without
being able to find any obvious natural answer to the object. It seems to be a
very large, solid thing.
I obtained the negative from the government of
Costa Rica--if you don't have the negative, analysis is a waste of time. I also
obtained the negative of the picture taken before and the picture after, all
uncut. I took negatives to a friend of mine in France who works for a firm that
digitally analyzes satellite photographs. They digitized the entire thing, and
then analyzed it to the extent that they could, and could not find an
explanation for the object.
60GCAT: It's hard for Americans to grasp the
idea that UFOs might be a manifestation the other-dimensional. . . .
Vallee: You have to keep an open mind. What I try to do is what
any cop would do: I try to listen to the witnesses instead of printing my own
theories. Theories are a dime a dozen. They don't do any good. It's much more
useful, I think, just to listen to what people are telling you, and I've been
trying to do that not just in the U.S., but also in Europe and other places I've
visited, like Brazil and Argentina, and try to look for patterns.
60GCAT: You're a bit of a controversial figure among UFO researchers,
mainly because you entertain theories more exotic than the
UFOs-are-from-outer-space paradigm.
Vallee: I've antagonized a
number of the believers in UFOs. Number one, because I'm not ready to jump to
any conclusion that it's necessarily extraterrestrial--we're not smart enough to
know what they are at this point. And the research has not been done. I
certainly remember enough of my training in astronomy to tell you that the
universe is big enough to have other forms of life than us; at least we hope
that it does. But so far we cannot prove it. So we cannot see how they would
come here--they probably would be much advanced with respect to our physics, and
they would have found a way to do it. But that does not explain UFOs.
I've also antagonized a lot of people because I think that the way
abductions are being handled is wrong. It's not only wrong scientifically, it's
wrong morally and ethically. I've been telling people, don't let anyone
hypnotize you if you've seen a strange light in the sky. I think a lot of those
people prominent in the press and in the National Enquirer and in the talk shows
and so on are creating abductees under hypnosis. They are hypnotizing everybody
who's ever had a strange experience and telling them they are abductees by
suggestion. And they are doing that in good faith. They don't realize what they
are doing. But to my way of thinking, that's unethical.
60GCAT: What do
you think of John Mack, the Harvard psychologist who believes that alien
abductions are a real phenomenon? Of course, he uses hypnosis on his patients to
liberate "repressed memories" of those abductions.
Vallee: I
respect him for his courage in addressing the issue, but I don't agree with his
methods.
I've taken some witnesses who wanted to be hypnotized, taken
them to specialists in two cases out of maybe 70 cases of abductions that I've
studied. And usually the specialists tell me that hypnosis is not necessarily
the best way of helping these people. Nor is it the best way to recover
memories. It may help in very specific cases. But I've never hypnotized
anybody--I'm not qualified to do it.
60GCAT: How did you first become
interested in UFOs and paranormal phenomena?
Vallee: I started
out wanting to do astronomy and I ruined essentially a perfectly good career in
science by becoming interested in computers. This was in France in the early
days of computing and the earliest days of satellites and space exploration. So
I took some of the earliest computer courses at French universities.
My
first job was at Paris observatory, tracking satellites. And we started tracking
objects that were not satellites, were fairly elusive, and so we decided that we
would pay attention to those objects even though they were not on the schedule
of normal satellites. And one night we got eleven data points on one of these
objects--it was very bright. It was also retrograde. This was at a time when
there was no rocket powerful enough to launch a retrograde satellite, a
satellite that goes around opposite to the rotation of the earth, where you
obviously need to overcome the earth's gravity going the other direction. You
have to reach escape velocity in the direction opposite the rotation of the
earth, which takes a lot more energy than the direct direction. And the man in
charge of the project confiscated the tape and erased it the next morning.
So that's really what got me interested. Because up to then I thought,
Scientists don't seem to be interested in UFOs, astronomers don't report
anything unusual in the sky, so there probably isn't anything to it.
Effectively, I was in the same position that most scientists are in today--you
trust your colleagues, and because you don't see any reports from credible,
technical witnesses, you assume that there is nothing. And there I was with a
technical report--I don't know what it was. It wasn't a flying saucer--it didn't
land close to the observatory. But still, it was a mystery. And instead of
looking at the data and preserving the data, we were destroying it.
60GCAT: Why did he destroy it?
Vallee: Just fear of
ridicule. He thought that the Americans would laugh at us, if we sent it--all of
the data on satellites was being concentrated in the U.S. And we were exchanging
our data with international bodies. And he just didn't want Paris observatory to
look silly by reporting some thing that he could not identify in the sky. [This
was in] 1961. Later I found out that other observatories had made exactly the
same observation, and that in fact American tracking stations had photographed
the same thing and could not identify it either. It was a first magnitude
object: it was as bright as [the star] Sirius. You couldn't miss it. It didn't
reappear in successive weeks. It's just a little anecdote, but to me that fact
that we destroyed it was more important than what we saw. And that reopened the
whole question for me: Are there things that scientists are observing and not
talking about? And then I started extending a small network of scientists, which
is still active, and found that there was a lot of data that was never
published. In fact, the best data has never been published. I think a great deal
of the misunderstanding about UFOs among scientists is that the scientists have
never had access to the best data.
60GCAT: Why has the best data never
been published?
Vallee: I talk to a lot of technical companies
where the executives are aware of my interests, and I've had a lot of reports
under seal of confidentiality from people in science and in business who had
seen things. About a year ago, a vice president at IBM took me aside after a
conference and said, "Are you the same Jacques Vallee who is interested in
UFOs?" And he described a perfectly classic UFO close encounter story that he
and his family had in upstate New York. This is not something that is going to
be in the National Enquirer.
I met a man who is president of a technical
company in Silicon Valley; he wanted to tell me about his experiences. He had
been a very-high ranking naval officer in command of a large ship, and he had
three experiences with UFOs, two of them in the service in very sensitive
positions--and at one time when he was a test pilot. He has never reported any
of the encounters, even when he was a pilot. I said, "Weren't you under
obligation to report it?" And he said, "Maybe I was, but if they have the
slightest doubt about what you are seeing up there, you are [considered to be]
crazy--they won't let you near the cockpit of an experimental plane." And he
said, "If you're a pilot, you want to fly. You don't want to spend the next
month filling out forms for a bunch of psychiatrics." Which is what will happen.
I think any pilot will tell you the same thing, you know, over a beer. So those
are the cases that I'm interested in. The cases that have not been reported in
the press, haven't been distorted in the retelling. When I have time, I follow
up on those cases with my own resources basically out of curiosity, with no
preconceived idea.
60GCAT: But skeptics always argue that even though
there may be anecdotal evidence, there's no hard scientific data. . . .
Vallee: There is plenty of data--and it should be analyzed
further. But I do not think it's going to be a propeller from a flying saucer. I
think it is going to be things that would be interesting if you could find a
pattern to the material. I'm skeptical about stories of crashed saucers; I have
an open mind about it, but I've heard those stories for so many years and they
never really amount to anything tangible. Also, I am skeptical for another
reason: We build technologies now that are extremely reliable where there is the
need. How often does your hard disk crash? I mean, if you keep your computer for
15 years, eventually the hard disk is going to crash. But you don't expect that
to happen. If you were going to build a technology that takes you across
interstellar space, it would have to be extremely reliable.
60GCAT: In
your books, you detail the hard data turned up in European investigations.
Vallee: There is a small unit of the CNES, which is the French
equivalent of NASA, that has permission to investigate any cases of UFOs. They
were set up in the mid-'70s and they've been going ever since. They found a
number of cases that couldn't be explained, and some cases were never published
with all the data. Cases where there were traces on the ground, where there was
evidence of heat, evidence of radiation, including pulsed microwave radiation,
and evidence of plants being affected. Again, that doesn't prove anything. It
just proves that there was something there. It doesn't tell you what it was. But
it certainly is a valid technical issue.
This data doesn't tell you if
the phenomenon is natural or not, because it doesn't tell you enough about the
conditions where that happened. And that's where I think a lot more research
should be done. People have come to me saying, "Look, I was a pilot or in a
radar station in Alaska, and we were tracking UFOs--we recorded the data, and I
was a pilot and followed one of those things and got gun camera footage of it.
When I landed there was a guy waiting for me, in blue jeans and a sweater, who
said, 'You didn't see anything up there.'" Meanwhile, a guy with a screwdriver
is unhooking the camera from the fuselage. Usually witnesses have no idea where
those guys come from. But somebody has a lot of data; and I think that this hard
data should be turned over to science, certainly the stuff from 20 years ago--I
mean, how classified can it be? By now, we should have known if it was an enemy,
so we should turn over the data to the scientific community. Let the skeptics
analyze it from their point of view and let anyone else analyze it from their
point of view. That's the way science should be done.
Vallee refers to this complex system of control--which is shaping human
society over the course of thousands of years--as an "interface of reality with
consciousness." It sounds a lot like Arthur C. Clarke's science fictional theme
in 2001: A Space Odyssey--an alien intelligence subtly directing the course of
human development, toward mysterious ends. Talk about your cosmic conspiracies!
But Vallee also has controversial ideas about human-made UFO
conspiracies. "I was investigating some cases that were physically real," he
says, "but they were hoaxes--yet not hoaxes on the part of the witnesses."
The two most stunning cases of faked UFO events that Vallee has
uncovered occurred rather recently in the history of saucer sightings. In 1980,
a strange object purportedly "crashed" in England's Rendlesham Forest, a few
miles away from an American Air Force Base. Dozens of military personnel were
dispatched into the forest, without weapons, before the supposed crash of a
luminous object. After the incident conflicting stories leaked to the press and
to civilian investigators, some of the leaks apparently originating from the
front office of the military base. Vallee's conclusion--controversial among UFO
believers who insist that aliens touched down in Rendlesham Forest--is that "the
event had all the earmarks of being staged for the benefit of the witnesses,
perhaps so that their psychological reactions could be studied."
Even
more bizarre is the information turned up by French investigators in the wake of
a bizarre 1979 abduction case. An unemployed young man named Franck Fontaine
disappeared outside of his apartment one morning, reportedly after his friends
saw him enveloped in a luminous fog. After a week of frenzied press coverage and
a fruitless search by the authorities, Fontaine turned up in a field outside the
apartment--with no memory of his unusual experience. His friends insisted he had
been abducted by a UFO, and police investigators, though they doubted that
claim, found no other satisfactory explanation.
But as Vallee reports,
investigators from GEPAN, the French government's aerial phenomena study group,
were led to an official in the French Ministry of Defense who willingly
described the so-called UFO abduction as an "Exercise of General Synthesis."
What happened to Fontaine? "We put him to sleep and he was put under an altered
state of high suggestibility," replied the official. When asked if the
"exercise" was intended to test the investigative abilities of local law
enforcement agencies, the official said, "That would be a fair way to describe
it." Then he added, ominously, "If this operation had been completed, the next
phase would have been far worse." As Vallee notes in his best-selling book,
Revelations, "It would be fair to assume that the [Fontaine] operation could
have been a test, perhaps a prelude to an experiment of wider scope."
Vallee says he knows the name of the French official, an Air Force
officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
So what on earth--to pick
an appropriate planet--is going on? Vallee has several theories that might
explain such UFO flimflam. The military may be experimenting with psychological
warfare techniques, as the Germans did in World War I, when they projected
images of the Virgin Mary on banks of smoke in an effort to spook the French
into saying their Rosaries instead of killing Germans. Vallee also thinks that
sham UFO reports might be used as cover for tests of new military stealth
technology.
But the most troubling "deception theory" Vallee poses is
that from time to time, the target of UFO hoaxes might be the general public, or
a segment thereof.
"In some cases," he says, "the community of
ufologists may simply be used in a sociological experiment because they are a
convenient group of people to test, to see how they react to different rumors."
Sounds a bit improbable, but Vallee's research into the growth of UFO
"contactee" cults is suggests that such manipulation occurs. In his book,
Messengers of Deception, Vallee explored the rise of a new kind of religious
movement throughout the world: the UFO Messiah cults, in which believers await
the coming of bubble-headed saviors in saucers. You can find these groups in
Europe and the Americas, in increasing numbers. Want a glimpse of this
otherworldly subculture? Just buzz into any of the alt.alien Usenet groups or
enter the magic word "UFO" into any World Wide Web search engine and see how
fast you're channeled into one of the most heavily trodden alternate dimensions
of online obsession since Big Brother went digital.
Listen to "Seth,"
the channeled alien being from beyond; hear the Venusian commander known as Val
Thor, who parks his spaceship on Lake Mead near Las Vegas as if it were an
extraterrestrial houseboat (when he's not advising the Pentagon); heed the
warnings of the well-heeled "Rael," who speaks through a French contactee and
runs a worldwide organization.
According to Vallee, the French press has
recently reported that the notorious Order of the Solar Temple--in the news last
year after 53 members committed suicide in Switzerland and Canada--told its
followers that the highest levels of initiation involved meetings with
extraterrestrial beings. The cult used holographic projectors purchased in the
United States to fool its members. "As you may recall," says Vallee, "members of
the cult were educated people and professionals--not crazy kids on drugs."
So without further ado, we present Part 2 of the Jacques Vallee
interview:
Liquid Sky
60GCAT: Let's talk about some of the
other forms of hard evidence that scientists can look at when studying the UFO
problem. For instance, chunks of molten metal, the so-called "liquid sky"
samples.
Vallee: On their own, these metal samples are not
compelling evidence. But the existence of this material does show that there is
data that scientists can look at. When we received the Bogota, Columbia, sample
[supposedly the remnants of a plume of liquid slag ejected from a flying disk
over the University of Bogota in the mid-1970s] we sawed off one little corner
for analysis. It turned out to be mostly aluminum. Again, this doesn't prove
anything: you could make a hunk of this stuff in your backyard by pouring molten
metal into a pool of water. Metallurgically, the Bogota sample is not that
unusual--except that it has gone through a violent heating, not just up to a
boiling point, but beyond. My point has always been that it is interesting to
see what patterns emerge from analysis of enough of these samples. If you kept
picking up specimens like that, it might move your research into a particular
direction.
60GCAT: One theory is that this liquid metal is part of the
UFOs' propulsion system.
Vallee: There are [man-made] motors that
use liquid metal--usually mercury--for liquid contact. But the temperatures
necessary for molten aluminum and other metals would have to be quite extreme.
60GCAT: What about liquid sky samples that are of a slightly more exotic
makeup than the aluminum slag?
Vallee: The only one that's unusual is
the one that Prof. Peter Sturrock (a plasma physicist at Stanford University)
has. It comes from Ubatuba, Brazil. In the early 1930s, an object exploded over
a beach in Ubatuba. [In 1957, an alleged fragment from the explosion turned up;
its precise origin is uncertain.] Subsequent analysis at the University and
Colorado and Stanford confirmed that the material was magnesium and magnesium
oxide, with a very minute amount of impurities. If the metal really did
originate in the 1930s, it would be very unusual because given the technology of
the day, someone would have had to go to a lot of trouble to get it that pure.
The Cosmic Database
60GCAT: Let's talk about some of the
implications of your research. If the UFO phenomenon is real, but is not aliens
from outer space, we're talking about new ways of thinking about reality and
cosmology, aren't we?
Vallee: Yes. In that sense, phenomenon is
much more important than visitors from another planet would be. Because it
fundamentally challenges the nature of reality. If UFOs are a physical reality,
they certainly violate everything we think we know about reality. There are
reliable reports of material UFOs that become immaterial and disappear on the
spot.
60GCAT: Your theories about UFOs and other "paranormal" phenomena
involve your metaphor of the "informational universe," where time and space and
whatever other dimensions there might be act as a kind of cosmic computer
database. What do you mean by that?
Vallee: You can get a
consistent representation of reality if you look at the world as a collection of
events, or 'instances' (as the philosophy of Occasionalism did in the eleventh
century), rather than as a collection of material objects moving in
3-dimensional space as time flows. In virtual reality, of course, you can't tell
the difference. In the real world information and energy are actually the same
physical quantity. In a universe viewed as 'informational events' you should
expect coincidences, telepathy, time travel, multiple realities--all those
things that seem impossible in the 4-D energy universe. To me that's why puzzles
like UFOs are interesting. I don't have a personal theory to "explain" them, but
I see them as an opportunity to pose new questions. If it's true that
information resides in the questions we ask, coming up with novel problems may
be more important than having answers, at this stage of our very limited
understanding of the universe.
60GCAT: So reality is like a computer
database in that the right search word or "incantation" might cause a piece of
information--a UFO or ghost or other anomaly--to materialize.
Vallee: If you think of [reality] as the software for the
universe, all it would take is for someone to change a comma in the program and
the chair you are sitting in wouldn't be a chair at all. The major benefit from
this model is that it handles anomalies very well. Coincidences would be a
normal expectation. If you address a database with a request for anything with
the word "pool" you will get ads for sunscreen, lotions, billiard balls and an
investment prospectus or two. In parapsychology gifted subjects may be forcing
similar coincidences between separate locations or separate minds. One way of
testing the theory, by the way, is to create massive informational anomalies and
see what happens when they collapse. You could enhance remote viewing
experiments, for instance, by loading the site with large quantities of data
about highly unlikely events or situations, then quickly erase that data to
collapse the singularity.
60GCAT: Of course, now we're talking about the
intersection of science and mysticism. Do you consider yourself a mystical
person?
Vallee: I have never been comfortable with an arbitrary
separation of the world into the physical universe (which is presumably what
science studies) and the psychological, social and psychic side of life. To me
that arbitrary separation is the major weakness of our intellectual system.
Most scientists who decide to study astronomy at an early age, as I did,
are probably motivated by something akin to a mystical desire to understand the
night sky and to embrace the larger issues. As time goes on, of course, that
desire gets eroded and trivialized. In my case I managed to keep that curiosity
fresh because although I haven't had a "mystical" experience in a religious
sense, I have always suspected that there was another level of consciousness and
that it was accessible to the human mind. I have found similar feelings among
many Net programmers, who were drawn to networking by the impression of
operating outside the normal constraints of time and space, something akin to
what mystics describe, although of course much more mundane.
The
Controllers
60GCAT: You've said that UFOs represent a form of alien
intelligence that is actively manipulating human society. How and toward what
end?
Vallee: A new computer analysis of historical trends,
compiled in the 1970s, led me to plot a striking graph of "waves" of UFO
activity that was anything but periodic. Fred Beckman and Dr. Price Williams of
UCLA pointed out that it resembled a schedule of reinforcement typical of a
learning or training process: the phenomenon was more akin to a control system
than to an exploratory task force of alien travelers. There are many control
systems around us, and some are a part of nature: ecology, climate, etc. Some
are man-made: the process of education, the thermostat in your home. If the UFO
phenomenon represents a control system, can we test it to determine if it is
natural or artificial, open or closed? This is one of the interesting questions
about the phenomenon that has never been answered.
Chariots of the
Frauds
60GCAT: Speaking of control systems, some of your other avenues
of UFO research have led you to suggest that from time to time human
agencies--governments, cults, and other groups interested in manipulating
people's beliefs--have engineered UFO deceptions and hoaxes. Now we're really
getting conspiratorial. . . .
Vallee: I think the place where
ufology--the way it has developed today--meets with my interest in
communications, and my interest in networks is in deception and manipulation. I
think that is an area of which people should be aware. Because I think a lot of
the things that are being discussed today, among people who believe in UFOs, are
either mythical or a part of manipulation of some sort, which could include the
stories of little aliens and the hybrids and abductions and so forth. A lot of
that may be either material that cults have injected into the culture because it
suits their own fantasy about the end of the world or the millennium and all
that.
Or, in a more sinister sense, in some of the cases I've
investigated, the deception hides a mind-control experiment. Anybody who is
aware of technology today should know that we have much more than a stealth
fighter flying around. We have capabilities, theoretical or practical, to make
all types of things. There is a massive development of nonlethal platforms going
on that those platforms have to be tested somewhere, they have to be disguised
as something else from time to time. There has been massive development of
RPVs--remotely piloted vehicles--some of which are disk-shaped. There is massive
development of low observable technologies that are used for reconnaissance and
can be used for all sorts of other things. And in many cases, the UFO stories
are not simply fantasies in the minds of a few witnesses, but may have been
planted as part of a cover for some very terrestrial technologies that we are
developing.
'Messengers of Deception?'
60GCAT: The UMMO cult,
which you discuss at length in your books, Revelations and Messengers of
Deception, has an impressive history of elaborate deception. Tell us about it.
Vallee: I think that the UMMO myth was started by a small group
of people, essentially cultists. What was intriguing about UMMO was all its
pseudo-scientific revelations [supposedly handed down to earthling scientists
like Vallee from UMMO-ites, beings who hail from a planet 14.6 light years away
from our sun]. But these supposed revelations were not within the state of the
art. They didn't come up with proof of Fermat's theorem or something like that,
it was just perfectly good science fiction.
60GCAT: What about the
French theory that UMMO was a psychological experiment?
Vallee:
Yeah, they thought that the cult had been used or was manipulated by the KGB.
Because for one thing, some of their ideas--some of the data that was supposedly
channeled from the UMMO organization in the sky was very advanced cosmology.
Very advanced cosmology about twin universes involving some data that was not
stupid--it came straight out of the notes of Andre Sakarav, including some of
the unpublished notes of Sakarav, some things that Sakarav was known to have
worked on, but had not published. And so some people--and I don't know who's
right--felt that somebody had to have access to those notes, to inspire those
messages, perhaps the KGB. It wasn't just ordinary science fiction; it was
somebody who knew what some of the more advanced cosmologists were thinking.
60GCAT: Why would the KGB or any intelligence agency perpetrate such an
arcane hoax?
Vallee: Well, let me tell you a little story. About
fifteen years ago there was a group that suddenly appeared in San Francisco.
They had a big party downtown. And they invited everybody who was anybody in
parapsychology. And they made a little speech saying, "We have all this money
from somebody who wants to do good and help research, we know that there isn't
much money in parapsychology; we will entertain proposals for research, give us
your best ideas; we will send it to a panel who will review it and we will fund
the best research." After the party, a lot of people rushed home to their
computers and typed in all their best ideas, sent it on--but the organization
never existed, was never heard from again. Somebody was fishing.
So
having a cover as a group sometimes, a completely weird group, can be a
convenient way of getting technical intelligence. It's a good way of doing
technological assessment. So some of those weird groups could be used for that.
Now, that doesn't explain why they would do it for ten years. In the case of
UMMO, why would you go on? I think that UMMO became sort of a goal in itself. It
became self-propagating. because so many people got drawn to it,
psychologically. They started writing things about each other and it became a
self-sustaining myth. They're still sending me stuff. There is an index,
catalogs; for some people it's become their entire life. Increasingly, we're
seeing those kinds of cults appearing in net space, cyberspace.
60GCAT:
Is there something about online communications that helps foster myths and
deceptions?
Vallee: Because we live in a world where with
communications media based on digital networks, a small group of people can have
a tremendous impact on the belief of the masses. And we also live in a world
where the belief of the masses is a strategic weapon. We have H-bombs but we
can't use them. We have neutron bombs, but we can't use them. But if we found a
way of influencing the beliefs of masses of people, that would have great
strategic impact. The big problems in the world are the problems of
fundamentalism and religion--whether it's Islamic or in other forms of religion.
Those are the great destabilizing forces in the world today. Well, belief in
Extraterrestrials coming here to save us can be induced in large masses of
people with the technical means that exist today.
The potential for
contagion of absurd beliefs is a real one. In the hands of people who might
deliberately use the Internet to create an epidemic of irrationalism we might
see the emergence of a whole new class of very dangerous, powerful cults with
all the trappings of high technology.
And I think somebody has to pay
attention to that angle. So I was led to that by finding-- I was investigating
some cases that were physically real, but were hoaxes--but not hoaxes on the
part of the witnesses. And the story about the object had in fact been planted.
The Bentwaters case [in which American servicemen at an Air Force base
in England observed a disk-shaped craft land in the forest] is a classic. At the
landing site, they had a mix of ordinary guards, officers, sentries and so
on--they all had orders to go to the site under a scenario. And that's not what
would of happened if the encounter were real--if a strange object landed on the
base you wouldn't be sending out a hundred people without weapons. The thing has
all the earmarks of being staged for the benefit of the witnesses, so that they
could be studied and the reactions of the different psychological types and of
different ranks could be studied. And when you think about it, it's not that
weird. If you were in charge of a project like that, you'd have to test it in
conditions where nobody is danger and you can get the data you need. In cases
like this one--not many but a few of them--that I investigated, I had to
conclude that these were tests of virtual reality projectors.
Psy-Ops
from 'Beyond'
60GCAT: So there might be military applications for this
technology of deception?
Vallee: Our gods have always come from
the sky. And how would a god come from the sky today? He would come down in some
kind of space ship. He couldn't just appear out of the clouds, I mean, that
won't work. Although in World War I the Germans were using psychological warfare
by projecting photographs, slides, along French lines. And I'm sure the French
were doing the same thing to the Germans. And there are very sophisticated
devices now being used in psychological warfare to create holograms, to create
visions to influence people. It might not work with you and me today if we go
out today and see something in the skies, it might not destabilize us. But if we
were under a lot of stress--if you've been fighting for a month on some little
island, and all of the sudden something like that happens--
I remember
seeing a letter to the U.S. Air Force from a man who was finally reporting
something he had seen during World War II in the Pacific. He said he was on top
of a little island lookout point. They were expecting a Japanese attack. They
had been fighting intensely on and off for several weeks. They were fairly
isolated. They saw an object in the sky that was absolutely physical, that
circled the island, was a disk, no means of propulsion, no noise. It circled the
island and went off. And he said he had never reported it, not even to his wife.
The reason he didn't report it at the time was that his men were under such
stress that he wouldn't want them to think that their commander might be
flipping. So the same kind of psychological means that won't work with ordinary
people and ordinary things might work in exceptional cases.
60GCAT: And
therefore cultists and UFO true believers--who are under a kind of ideological
stress--might be seen as ideal targets for such manipulation.
Vallee: In some cases the UFO community may be simply used in a
sociological experiment because they are a convenient group of people to see how
they would react to different rumors. [Suppose the government loses a nuclear
weapon over a foreign country.] You still have to go and recover that thing. And
you can't tell people what you're doing, so you have to be able to very quickly
plant a story. You might plant a story that this was a flying saucer from Venus.
That would be so ridiculous that scientists wouldn't go check. You might have a
few journalists there, but you can tell them whatever you want, and you can give
them photographs of whatever. And so all you need is to distract everybody for
two or three days, time to bring the equipment, get everything out, recover
whatever was scattered and go away. I think there are cases where exactly that
has happened. And those are sort of the great UFO stories that people still tell
around campfire.
But I think there was no UFO there. I think the UFO
story was invented-- I was saying earlier it's healthy to be skeptical. I
respect people who have a skeptical argument there. Jim Oberg, who is a
specialist in the Russian space program, pointed out to me that some of the
sightings that I published from the Soviet Union--a strange yellowish crescent
seen going through the sky by many people in the Soviet Union--that those were
rocket tests that were illegal under the Salt agreement; and obviously, they
couldn't hide it in the sky. . . so the government planted the story that there
was a flying saucer, and that got into the newspapers.
Again, the UFO
research community is a useful laboratory in which to observe the effects of
propaganda and disinformation, since it is driven in large part by an intent to
expose "the coverup." This creates an opportunity for people to masquerade as
good guys and "reveal" all sorts of unverifiable rumors. They meet with a
receptive audience because the context is one of "independent inquiry of
original, bold, nonconformist ideas. Does that mean we should necessarily
believe the man who claims he was in NATO intelligence and saw a classified
document about the four humanoid races that live on the moon? I don't think so.
As U.K. Releases UFO Files, Former UFO Project Chief Apologizes
For 'Spin And Dirty Tricks' (Exclusive)
As the British National Archives
continues to release UFO-related
documents, the former Ministry of Defense (MoD) UFO Project chief is openly
admitting to being part of what he claims was a U.K. policy of ridiculing UFO
reports and the people who reported them.
The U.K. made public 34 previously-classified files, totaling about 9,000
pages of documents covering the years 1985 to 2007. For three of those years,
1991 to 1994, Nick Pope was in charge of the official MoD
office.
"What's abundantly clear from these files is that, while in public we were
desperately pushing the line that this was of no defense interest," Pope told
The Huffington Post. "We couldn't say 'There's something in our air space;
pilots see them; they're tracked on radar; sometimes we scramble jets to chase
these things, but we can't catch them.' This would be an admission that we'd
lost control of our own air space, and such a position would be untenable."
WATCH:
"Every time we got a report from a pilot, we were checking the radar
tapes. So it was an interesting sleight of hand. We were telling the public
we're not interested, this is all nonsense, but in reality, we were desperately
chasing our tails and following this up in great detail," he added.
One
file reveals how officials were afraid to be embarrassed if the public
learned that UFO research was hindered by a lack of funds and higher
priorities.
Another
case, from 2007, took place in the vicinity of the Channel Islands and
involved a small commercial aircraft.
"The pilot and several of his passengers saw a UFO, which they said was
essentially a mile long," Pope recounted. "And several other pilots saw it, but
said, 'We're not going to report this.' And here's the great little
get-out-of-jail-free-card for the MoD: Just by a matter of maybe a few hundred
meters, it turned out that this was in French air space, so MoD was given this
little get out to say, 'Well, it happened in French air space, so it's not an
issue for us.' Clearly, that was an absolutely outrageous abrogation of
responsibility."
A file
from 1993 (while Pope was chief of the UFO Project) describes how European
Union funds had been wasted on a report that included a theory that aliens had
established a base in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
It turns out that Pope may have been directly involved with this case.
"I'm a little bit apologetic about this because obviously, when I was in MoD,
I had to play this game myself. To really achieve our policy of downplaying the
UFO phenomenon, we would use a combination of 'spin and dirty tricks.'
"We used terms like UFO buffs and UFO spotters -- terms that mean these
people are nut jobs. In other words, we were implying that this is just a very
somewhat quaint hobby that people have as opposed to a serious research
interest."
But Pope said the ridicule policy went much further than that.
"Another trick would be deliberately using phrases like 'little green men.'
We were trying to do two things: either to kill any media story on the subject,
or if a media story ran, insure that it ran in such a way that it would make the
subject seem ridiculous and that it would make people who were interested in
this seem ridiculous."
WATCH:
Pope further admits that he may have been the one who drafted actual MoD
statements that contributed to the ridicule policy.
"If it was my words, then I apologize, I'm very sorry for that. I believe in
open government and freedom of information. I believe that the UFO phenomenon
does raise important defense, national security and air safety issues, and if I
helped kill any initiative on that, I'm deeply sorry."
Some U.K. cases were apparently easier than others in trying to make them
seem non-credible. Like the
file that describes UFOs reported at the June 2003 Glastonbury Music
Festival.
"It was very easy to find an incident where something is seen at an event
like a rock concert," Pope noted. "You don't even need to say a thing without
the public or media perception being that drugs and alcohol might have played a
part. It was all part of the way in which we spun the subject, to try and
discredit it."
Despite the thousands of pages of documents released -- with one final batch
of files yet to come, sometime early next year -- Pope concedes there's still no
written evidence confirming alien visits to Earth.
"Not just yet -- there's no spaceship-in-a-hangar smoking gun. However, there
are plenty of sightings that I think show that we're dealing with more than just
aircraft lights and weather balloons."
The latest 34 U.K. UFO files can be downloaded free of charge for the next
month at the National Archives website.

Police UFO Encounters - The Alan Godfrey Case
Alan Godfrey is a retired police constable who served
with the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police Force. His life and career are
notable for having been entangled in some of Britain's most unusual mysteries,
including the Zigmund Adamski case, allegedly connected with the UFO phenomenon.
His alleged UFO encounter took place during one of the most active waves of UFO
sightings in British history.[1] He is considered by some ufologists to be one
of the first alien abductees in Britain.[2] Ufologist Jenny Randles has claimed
that the Alan Godfrey case cemented the Pennines as the central hot spot of UFO

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.

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

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.

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. Thanks to NASAL/JPL Univ. of Arizona

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."
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

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

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.

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."

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 Lightand 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
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

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

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

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

Canada Lights
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

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

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,

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

going off, helicopters up and about etc.. This sighting report and

Na meer dan 60 jaar Ufo-onderzoek nog steeds angst om de waarheid... - deel 6
Nu volgt deel 6 van het rapport " Na meer dan 60 jaar Ufo-onderzoek nog steeds angst om de waarheid"...
Verbluft door de
spottende en belachelijkmakende reacties in de pers, waaraan Hynek blootgesteld
was in de nasleep van zijn persconferentie in DETROIT, vond hij uiteindelijk de
moed om ook publiek zijn mening te verkondigen, van wat hij al enige tijd in de
privésfeer vertelde:
-De pers
schildert mij af als de marionet van de luchtmacht en vermeldt
dat ik enkel vertel wat de luchtmacht mij
opdraagt te vertellen. Ik zou graag ...
een verklaring voorlezen aan het comité ...
een tekst, die zeker niet door de
luchtmacht ingefluisterd werd...
De aard van de activiteit die de pers in
MICHIGAN rapporteert, is niet
ongewoon. Het gebeurde alleen maar dat de
gebeurtenisisen van DEXTER en
HILLSDALE, nochthans van geringe betekenis,
de nationale media
langstelling haalden.
Nu, soortgelijke incidenten, en sommige
aanzienlijk meer intrigerend dan
deze, gebeuren al vele jaren... Ondanks het
schijnbaar zinloze van het
onderwerp, voel ik dat ik mijn
wetenschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid zou
verwaarlozen tegenover de luchtmacht,
indien ik niet zou verklaren dat het
totale UFO-fenomeen wel aspekten bezit, die
de moeite waard zijn om de
wetenschappelijke aandacht te krijgen... Ik
ben gelukkig dat mijn verschijning
voor het comité mij de gelegenheid geeft om
mijn aanbevelingen door te
geven, te herhalen. Eigenaardig, het is
mijn mening dat de massa opgeslagen
en toegenomen gegevens sinds 1948,
nauwgezet en kritisch onderzoek
verdienen door een burgerlijk panel van
fysische en sociale wetenschappers.
Deze groep zou als uitdrukkelijk doel
moeten krijgen het UFO-probleem
kritisch te onderzoekenof er al dan niet een groot probleem echt
bestaat.
De voorzitter van het comité L. Mendel
RIVERS gaf toe dat een onafhankelijke, burgerlijke studie een goed idee
was. Zo deed de luchtmacht dan, die erkende dat dit de enige manier was om zich
op een degelijke wijze van het UFO-probleem te ontdoen. Luchtmachtsecretaris
Brown wees de verantwoordelijkheid over de uitvoering van de aanbevelingen
van het comité toe aan het OFFICE of SCIENCE RESEARCH (O.S.R.). Een heel
natuurlijke keuze voor deze opdracht, gezien hun gewone opdracht bestond uit
het betrekken van honderden universiteiten in hun basisresearchkontrakten.
g. Het CONDON-rapport en de gevolgen voor BLUE
BOOK
Een interne studie
van het A.F.O.S.R. in opdracht van hun directeur Dr.W.J. PRICE
wees uit dat het beter was de studie van het UFO-verschijnsel uit te besteden
aan één universiteit dan aan meerderen. Dan moest het onderzoeksproject ook
niet opgesplitst worden... De eerstvolgende vraag was natuurlijk welke
universiteit. Informele kontakten met het MASSACHUSETTs INSTITUTE voor
TECHNOGIE, met de HARVARD UNIVERSITEIT liepen op een sisser af. Ze
hadden geen belangstelling om dergelijk controversieel thema te nemen. Het leek
erop dat de wetenschapsmensen van de befaamdste Amerikaanse universiteiten
weigerden om hun aandacht te investeren in de UFO-materie.
Uiteindelijk op 6
oktober 1966 aanvaardde de UNIVERSITEIT van COLORADO om de studie uit te
voeren. De vooraanstaande natuurkundige Dr. E. V. CONDON liet zich
overtuigen de studie te leiden. Officieel was Dr. CONDON directeur van het NATIONAL
STANDARD BUREAU. Het O.S.R. was blij iemand met dergelijke reputatie
gevonden te hebben, vooral iemand die naar buiten toe iemand gezien werd als
een onafhankelijke onderzoeker. Alhoewel de studie begroet en afgeschilderd
werd als een onpartijdige studie zelfs Hynek en de anderen geloofden dit
lange tijd was CONDON een overtuigd skepticus. Hij stond zelfs minachtend
tegenover het onderwerp UFOs... Maar het kontrakt dat de luchtmacht afsloot
ging uiteindelijk over een studie van 18 maanden en een niet te verwaarlozen
kostpijs van 572.146 US$. Vanaf het begin van de studie begrepen Condon en de
luchtmacht dat de eindbesluiten van dit Colorado Universiteit UFO-project
negatief zouden zijn.
Assistent Dean
R.J. LOW van de CV GRADUATE SCHOOL werd deprojectleider; het team bestond uit een
dozijn academici, die een nieuwe, klare kijk op het UFO-bewijs moesten brengen.
Low schreef op 9 augustus 1966 een memo, die door LOOK magazine
afgedrukt werd. Deze nota veroorzaakte bijna het voortijdig einde van het
project, vooraleer het opgestaat was...
LOWs memo
verhaalde de pros en contras van het UFO-onderzoek volgens zijn persoonlijke
visie. De instukken gelezen bulletin luidde als volgt:
- De kunstgreep bestaat erin, zo geloof ik, het project zo
te beschrijven dat
het voor het grote publiek een totale
objectieve studie toont, maar aan de
wetenschappelijke wereld een beeld
vrijgeeft van een groep niet-gelovers, die
hun uiterste best doen om objectief te
zijn, maar een nul-optie koesteren om
een vliegende schotel te vinden.
Onnodig op te
merken dat LOWs verslag niet public-relations gericht was. De
hierbovenvermelde, krasse uitspraak werd als volgt geïnterpreteerd, namelijk
dat de Colorado-universiteit een studie moest maken, gebaseerd op hypocrisie
met een vooraf gekend en doelbewust negatief resultaat. Bijkomend werd het CONDON
COMMITTEE (informele naam) in 1968 bestookt met conflikten en hinderlijke
publiciteit, vooral te maken met het ontslaan van medewerkers, inbegrepen
mede-hoofdonderzoeker David R. SAUNDERS. Het ging vooral om medewerkers
die CONDONS eeuwigdurende, verborgen antipathie voor het UFO-fenomeen niet
deelden. In het meinummer (14/05/1968) van het magazine LOOK verscheen een
artikel over al deze problemen van het Condon Comité onder de titel FLYING
SAUCER FIASCO. De journalistJohn
G. FULLER, die dit artikel schreef, baseerde vanzelfsprekend zijn stellingname
op een kopie van de memo van LOW. Hij was in het bezit gekomen van dit dokument
via twee teleurgestelde stafmedewerkers van het team, die de kopie wegnamen uit
de persoonlijke spullen van LOW. SCIENCE, het tijdschrift voor de AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION for the ADVANCEMENT of SCIENCE, wijdde eveneens een artikel
over de interne twisten en verwarring binnen het project. Het LOOK-artikel
veroorzaakt een overhitting op de Pentagon E-telefoonlijn, kompleet met
nijdige gesprekken tussen secretatis BROWN en CONDON.
Volgens David
SHEAs dissertatie was het resultaat van deze revolte een weerlegging van
de betrokken memo door LOW, verklarend dat de suggestie dat ik mij samen
met Dean ARCHER en MANNING engageerde in een komplot om een negatief resultaat
te bekomen is de meest krenkende, belachelijke en absurde verklaring die ik
ooit hoorde.
LOW verklaarde dat zijn bezorgdheid om deze
memorandum te schrijven, vooral de Colorado-universiteit en haar standing
binnen de universitaire wereld behelste... Hij was bekommerd om de houding die
de wetenschapswereld zou aannemen, indien de universiteit hun researchkontrakt
in het UFO-verschijnsel zou naleven. Tenslotte schreef hij dat de memo
geenszins de uitdrukking was van zijn persoonlijke visie over het vraagstuk.
Als reactie benoemde secretaris BROWN een
controlegroep, voorgezeten door de luchtmacht-generaal Consul John Steadman met
assistentie van majoor-generaal William GARLAND, directeur van de
inlichtingendienst. Deze groep moest een oogje in het zeil houden bij de
uitvoering van het project.
In september 1968
ontving HYNEK tot zijn grote verbazing een brief van kolonel Raymond S.
SLEEPER, de bevelhebber van F.T.D.. Hynek zou een paar jaar later
zelf schrijven, Het was de eerste maal in mijn 20 jaar durende band met
de luchtmacht als wetenschappelijke adviseur, dat ik officieel om kritiek
gevraagd werd en om raad te geven over de wetenschappelijke methodologie en
haar toepassing op het UFO-probleem. In zijn brief haalt Sleeper
Hyneks publieke kritiek terug aan op Project Blue Book voor hun gebrek aan
wetenschappelijke evaluaties en vroeg hem om deze gebieden van
wetenschappelijke zwakheid nader te omschrijvenin een korte nota die binnen de 30 dagen
klaar moest zijn.
Hynek bereidde een
uitgebreide uitleg voor. Op 7 oktober schreef hij Sleeper, Ik zend
alleen jou mijn rapport toe, maar voor alle duidelijkheid, zou de huidige staf
van Blue Book het ook moeten lezen. Elk toekomstig persoonlijk kontakt met hen,
zou dan pijnlijk zijn voor alle betrokken partijen. Daar mijn rapport eerder
lang is, heb ik een beknopter voorwoord geschreven met een samenvatting van de
opeenvolgende, overeenstemmende punten en de gemaakte aanbevelingen.
Deze samenvatting is waarschijnlijk de fijnste, bondigste kritiek ooit over Blue
Book geschreven en luid als volgt:
a. Het
staat vast dat geen van de twee opdrachten van BLUE BOOK (AFR 80-
17)om te bepalen
of UFOs een mogelijk gevaar vormen voor de Verenigde
Statenen om wetenschappelijke en technische gegevens, verworven door de
studie van UFO-rapporten, te gebruiken, wel
voldoende uitgevoerd werden.
b.De Staf van BLUE BOOK, beiden in aantal en wetenschappelijke,
getrainde medewerkers, is algemeen
onbekwaam om de aangehaalde taken
onder AFR 80-17 uit te voeren.
c. BLUE BOOK lijdt aan het feit dat het een
gesloten systeem is dat slachtoffer
werd van een gesloten uitziende type
operatie. Virtueel gezien was er geen
wetenschappelijke dialoog tussen BLUE BOOK
en de wetenschappelijke
buitenwereld. Totaal onbekwaamwerd gebruik gemaakt van de uitgebreide
wetenschappelijke vaardigheden van de
luchtmacht tijdens de uitvoering van
de opdracht van BLUE BOOK. Bijvoorbeeld
werd er zelden of nooit beroep
gedaan op de grootste talenten en de
vaardigheden van de AIR FORCE
CAMBRIDGE RESEARCH LABORATORIES(A.F.C.R.L.) en van A.F.O.S.R.. Het gebrek
aan wetenschappelijke dialoog tussen leden van Blue Book en buitenstaande
wetenschappers is verschrikkelijk.
d. De statistische methoden gebruikt door
BLUE BOOK zijn niets meer dan
een travestie...
e. Er was een gebrek aan interesse voor
betekenisvolle UFO-gevallen, zo
beoordeeld door deze raadgever en anderen,
en teveel tijd en energie gestoken
in routinegevallen, die weinig
informatie-eenheden bevatten en aan
oppervlakkige public-relationstaken.
Geconcentreerd onderzoek zou gericht
moeten worden op 2 of 3 potentiële,
wetenschappelijke en zinvolle gevallen
per maand; eerder dan de actuele BLUE
BOOK-inspanning te spreiden over
40 à 70 rapporten per maand. Teveel
aandacht werd besteed aan één-getuige
- gevallen en aan gevallen waar enkel maar
lichtpunten te zien waren aan de
nachtelijke hemel en veel te weinig tijd
aan gevallen met hoge GRAAD van
VREEMDHEID, gerapporteerd door getuigen met
een ernstige reputatie.
f.De informatie-input naarBLUE BOOK is algemeen onvolledig en
onvolwaardig. Een onmogelijke last werd
gelegd op de schouders van BLUE BOOK door het aldoor logisch falen van de
UFO-officieren van lokale luchtmachtbasissen om onvolwaardige informatie door
te geven aan BLUE BOOK. Veel informatiedetails, die bekomen konden worden door
nauwgezette ondervragingen door de UFO-officier zijn weggelaten; de last
weggoeiend die rust op BLUE BOOK om de ondervragingen beter te doen om
bijkomende informatie te vergaren. Het gaat soms vooral om de meeste
elementaire, maar noodzakelijke gegevens o.a. windrichting, hoekgrootte en
snelheid, details over het trajekt, kwalifikaties en aard van de getuigen,
bijkomende getuigen, enz... De upgrading van de originele gegevens is dringende
noodzaak in BLUE BOOK.
g. De basishouding en benadering binnen
BLUE BOOK is onlogisch en onwetenschappelijk in een aangenomen, werkende
hypothese met kleuren enbepaalt de
onderzoeksmethode. Iemand mag inzetten onder de vorm van een THEOREM:
-
Voor elke gegeven, gerapporteerde UFO-melding, indien enkel op
zichzelf genomen en zonder
respect en zicht op onderlinge
afhankelijkheden
(=correlaties), blijft het altijd mogelijk om een
mogelijke gebeurtenis te
ontwarren, zelfs door een vergezochte
natuurlijke verklaring.
Indien iemand alleen maar op de hypothesen
afgaat dat alle
UFO-rapporten, bij de echte origine van de dingen, het
resultaat moeten zijn van
zuivere, welbekende en aanvaardbare
oorzaken.
De THEOREM heeft een
COROLLARY:
Het is onmogelijk voor Blue
Book om een UFO-rapport te evalueren als
iets anders dan een
misidentifikatie of een natuurlijk object of
verschijnsel, een vervalsing
of een hallucinatie. In deze relatief weinig
gevallen, waar zelfs
hogervermelde procedure moeilijkheden
ondervond, werd het rapport
geëvalueerd als Unidentified maar
zonder enige notie dat de
theorem geweld aangedaan was, zelfs buiten
spel gezet was...
h. Er werd onbekwaam gebruik gemaakt
van de wetenschappelijke raadgever
van het project. Enkel de gevallen, die de
projectleider waardig achtte om aan
de raadgever door te geven voor zijn
oordeel, kwamen bij hem terecht. Zijn
actieradius, inbegrepen directe,
persoonlijke toegang tot beiden,
ongeklassificeerde en geklassificeerde
UFO-rapporten, werd konstant beperkt
en verijdeld. Vaak hoorde hij pas na een
maand of twee na de ontvangst van
een UFO-rapport bij Blue Book van de
interessantste gevallen. Geen enkele
poging is ondernomen om de raadgever in de
actiekring te brengen, behalve
op een heel oppervlakkigewijze.
De kritiek van
HYNEK had geen effekt!De gebeurtenissen
volgde de gewone gang van zaken. Terzelfde tijd waren enkel wetenschappers en
academici tot het besluit gekomen dat UFOs inderdaad de moeite van onderzoek
waard waren. James E. MC. DONALS, Jacques VALLEE, Leo SPRINKLE,
James HARDER en nog anderen
werkten openlijk om het mysterie van het UFO-raadsel te ontsluieren. Het eerste
kredietwaardiglijkend bewijs van ontvoeringsgevallen was het Barney en Betty
HILL-geval, dat nieuw en storend bewijsmateriaal naar voren bracht over de
impact
van het
UFO-verschijnsel, los van alle argumenten over het nu wel of niet bestaan van
UFOs. In weerwil van dit UFO-geval, beschouwden de UFO-onderzoekers de
ontvoeringsmeldingen zo met franje omzoomd en zo verwarrend dat weinig
Ufologern de ontvoeringsgevallen ernstig durfden nemen. En gevallen zoals het
klassieke 1957 Antonio VILLAS BOAS-incident lijken zo vreemd, dat het
moeilijk was om er publiek over te spreken, zelfs de dag van vandaag nog... Zij
vonden het intellektueel en misschien ook emotioneel gemakkelijker het groeiend
aantal spoorgevallen en zelfs gevallen met inzittenden (ufonauten), die de
onderzoeksarchieven aanvulden, te aanvaarden en te onderzoeken. Zo wilden ze
het greintje geloofwaardigheid nog een tijdje veilig stellen.
Vanzelfsprekend
kwamen ook een groep van bestrijders en sceptici in de weer, eerst geleid door Donald
MENZEL van de HARVARD UNIVERSITEIT. Hij schreef zijn eerste
afbrekend, bekritiserend en negatief boek over UFOs al in 1953, snel gevolgd
door de wetenschappelijke schrijver Philip J. KLASS, wiens eerste boek
in 1966 op de markt kwam.
De inspanning, opgezet door de critici en
de afbrekers, tegen UFO-onderzoekers en wetenschappers, die vochten voor de
betekenis en de erkenning van het UFO-fenomeen, werd eveneens weerspiegeld in
het CONDON COMMITTEE. Het onderzoek van het CONDON-comité eindigde op 1
juni 1968. De staf begon te schrijver aan een 1485 bladzijdentellend rapport,
dat vrijgegeven zou worden onder de naam SCIENTIFIC STUDYOF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS. Om in de
schijnheiligheid van onpartijdige politiek te volharden, liet de luchtmacht
haar beslissing over aan de NATIONAL ACADEMY of SCIENCES (N.A.S.). Op 8
januari 1969 bevestigde een panel onder leiding van Gerald M. CLEMENCE
van de YALE UNIVERSITY, haar officiële zegen over het CONDON-rapport.
De luchtmacht vergallopeerde zich door de volgende dag reeds het lijvig rapport
vrij te geven aan het publiek. Condon maakte het de pers heel gemakkelijk. De
belangrijkste inhoud van zijn lijvig rapport was bevat in DEEL I CONCLUSIONS
and RECOMMANDATIONS en in DEEL II SUMMARY of STUDY, alles
samen 69 bladzijden van de 1485... Diegenen, die verder dan deze inleiding
keken, stelden tot hun grote verbazing vast dat ongeveer één derde van de gevallen onverklaarbaar
bleven.
Slechts weinig journalisten lazen meer dan de inleiding. De meeste
wetenschappers en de meeste reporters, die kommentaar gaven op dit rapport,
behandelde het als het einde van het UFO-vraagstuk. NATURE, een bekend
Brits wetenschappelijk tijdschrift, noemde het rapport een voorhamer
voor de UFO-noten...
Wat stond er juist in deze inleiding? Op
het gevaar van een te eenvoudige voorstelling, volgen hier CONDONS voornaamste
besluiten:
- Er is
geen wetenschappelijke of militaire verrechtvaardiging voor verder
onderzoek naar het UFO-verschijnsel.
- Er bestaat geen reden om niet akkoord te
gaan met de officiële
bevindingen dat het geheel van de tot nu
toe onderzochte UFO-rapporten
geen gevaar vormen voor de nationale
veiligheid.
- Er is geen bewijs van bewuste
geheimhouding in verband met het UFO-
onderzoek. Condon baseerde zijn besluit op
de relatie open UFO-
informatie- politiek gedurende de periode
van zijn studie. De vroegere
geheimdoenerij van de luchtmacht, zoals
vroeger beschreven, is een totaal
andere zaak...
- Het voortzetten van PROJECT BLUE BOOK is
van dubbelzinnige waarde.
- Er bestaan aktueel geen direkte bewijzen,
die de hypothesebevestigen dat
enige UFOs buitenaardse ruimtetuigen van
een andere bezoekende
beschaving vertegenwoordigen.
Deze besluiten moesten in naam van de
wetenschap de doodskus geven aan verder UFO-onderzoek. Nochthans elke persoon
die verder zou lezen in het lijvig verslag, zou een blijven raadsel ontdekken: De
CONDON-WERKGROEP was niet in STAAT om een DEGELIJKE UITLEG te VERSTREKKEN voor
MEER dan 25% van de door HEN ONDERZOCHTE GEVALLEN... Hoedanook,
gebaseerd op CONDONS aanbevelingen dat niets meer verder winst kon opleveren in
de studie van UFO-rapporten en dat ze geen potentieel gevaar vormden voor de
nationale veiligheid, sloot de Amerikaanse luchtmacht in december 1969
uiteindelijk PROJECT BLUE BOOK af. Aan hun publiek onderzoek van UFO-meldingen
kwam een einde...
Vanzelfsprekend
kreeg het rapport ook zijn critici en sommige van deze kritieken werden zelfs
in de bestaande wetenschappelijke literatuur gepubliceerd. Maar deze stemmen
werden enkel gehoord door diegenen die wilden luisteren! Uiteindelijk slaagde
het Condon Comité en de luchtmacht erin om de belangstelling voor UFOs
drastisch te verminderen. De populaire bekoring van UFOs viel weg, meegaand
met het dalen van de ledenlijsten van N.I.C.A.P. en andere particulieren
UFO-groepen. UFOs zouden geen voorpaginanieuws meer zijn tot oktober 1973,
toen een nieuwe grote UFO-golf losbarstte in het zuidoosten van de U.S.A.. Een
jaar eerder kreeg HYNEKs boek THE UFO-EXPERIENCE (DE
UFO-UITDAGING), dat zijneerste
gedetailleerde en open kritieken op BLUE BOOK en het CONDON COMMITTEE bevatte,
attente beoordelingen in de wetenschappelijke tijdschriften en de grootste
dagbladen, suggererend dat de talmende gevolgen van de tweedelige
debunking-operatie al in zekere mate aan het verbleken was... Overal in de
wetenschappelije wereld werd de CONDON-studie fel bekritiseerd, zelfs al
vooraleer ze beëindigd was. Condons flip-houding tegenover het
studie-onderwerp, zijn bestuurstijl en zijn interne twisten over de te volgen
werkmethode en bewijs, scheurden zoals vroeger al vermeld het comité uiteen.
Een gevolg was dat dit zijn eindrapport van 1969 bijna zonder betekenis maakte
om het UFO-mysterie op te lossen.
In zijn boek PROJECT
BLUE BOOK merkt Dr. Allen HYNEK op dat het rapport weinig
nieuws aanhaalt dat nog niet gekend was en het was een
onnauwkeurige verzameling van gedeeltelijke, aanverwante onderwerpen; elk door
een verschillende auteur geschreven. Hynek zei dat men het verslag
evengoed kan zien als een degelijk argument voor een studie van het
UFO-verschijnsel, dat op zeer korte tijd gedaan kon worden door een groep
specialisten in hun eigen individuele disciplines, terwijl ze geen totale,
globale kennis hebben over het studieonderwerp. Eén van de strengste
critici van dit rapport was beslist Dr. David SAUNDERS, wiens boek UFOs?
YES! een gehele weerlegging van de besluiten van de Colorado-studie
bevatte, zoals niemand zich dat kan voorstellen. SAUNDERS, een vroeger staflid
van het MANHATTAN PROJECT (= atoombomproject), verdiende zijn
promotiegraad in scheikunde en fysica en HARVARD, gevolgd door een Ph.
Doctoraat in de psychologie aan de Universiteit van ILLENOIS. Zijn nationale
bekende reputatie op het gebied van psychologie leidde tot zijn benoeming als
medeonderzoeker (2° belangrijkste) aan de Condonstudie en hij was Condons
nummer 2-wetenschapper, totdat hij een morgen wakker werd zonder job,
gebrandmerkt door Condon als een nut (=onbekwame)...
De studie was vlot gestart; Saunders
medewerking bestond uit het vergaren van alle waardevolle UFO-data en deze om
te zetten in machinetaalvorm, zodat ze bruikbaar waren in de elektronische
computers om in data-analyseprogrammas verwerkt te worden. Saunders begon met
de computerezering van de bruikbare gegevens en op het ogenblik van zijn
ontslag bij het project, had hij al verschillende duizenden UFO-meldingen op
magnetische schijf staan. Dr. Hynek veronderstelde dat er ongeveer 25.000
verschillende UFO-gevallen in de archieven bij de luchtmacht, de A.P.R.O. en
N.I.C.A.P. bekend waren.
Niemand vroeg zich
de waarde van Saunders werk af en zijn procedures vlotten goed tot dat hij in
strijd kwam met Condon over de te gebruiken hypothesen voor het testen van
computerdata. Saunders verdedigde de ET-hypothese als de meest logische om te
onderzoeken. Condon weerlegde met nadruk dat het volgen van de publieke opinie
in de belangrijke ET-hypothese een onwetenschappelijke benadering was van
het probleem en ontsloeg Saunders. Onnodig te zeggen dat Saunders in zijn boek
over de Coloradostudie keihard terugslaat en de benadering van het probleem
door Condon totaal afbreekt...
Maar zelfs voor een
toevallige waarnemer is het moeilijk om de verreikende titel van het
Condonrapport te aanvaarden, namelijk SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJETS. Verschillende medewerkers van de studie hebben zijn besluiten
aangevochten, die hij in zijn twee hoofdstukken tellende samenvatting alleen
verdedigde. Zou hij toch op voorhand omgekocht zijn door de luchtmacht? Of
was het gewoon het doordrukken van zijn eigen gelijk van een scepticus, zoals
die dat de dag van vandaag ook nog pogen te doen?
Desalnietemin, de
luchtmacht had haar wetenschappelijke studie; het kostte haar wel 500.000 US$.
Voor velen was dit net genoeg waard om de in één zin op bladzijden 2
samengevatte vermelding:Voorzichtige benadering van het verschijnsel, indien het
bruikbaar is voor ons, leidt er toe te besluiten dat verdere, intensieve studie
van UFOs waarschijnlijk niet kan gerechtvaardigd worden in de overtuiging dat
de wetenschap geen voordeel kan halen uit de studie...
De luchtmacht maakte
snel gebruik van deze opportuniteit en had weinig tijd nodig om Blue BOOK af te
sluiten om zo te ontsnappen uit het UFO-moeras. Begin maart 1969 woonde de
vertegenwoordiger van S.A.F.O.I. majoor David J SHEA een meeting bij in
het PENTAGON. Vanaf het ogenblik van de opening van de vergadering, verklaarde
hij Er was geen twijfel mogelijk datProject BLUE BOOK afgesloten was! Al wat
restte was het bespreken van de details, zoals waar de files van de rapporten
opgeslagen zouden worden. Zij zouden eventueel naar de Archieven van de
luchtmacht te MAXWELL, AFB in ALABAMA. Shea
zei dat er ook veel gediscussieerd werd over andere details, zoals het behouden
van een secretaris en de goedkeuring door de stafschef van het besluit. Om het
met Sheas woorden te zeggen De sleutel was een
plaats die toegankelijk was, maar niet te uitnodigend!
Hij verklaarde zijn
bezorgdheid om de reactie van de mensen en hoe ze zouden handelen, indien ze
een UFO zouden waarnemen. De secretaris van de luchtmacht Robert C. SEAMANS,
Jr., kondigde op 17 december 1969 de officiële afsluiting van Blue Book
aan. Hij haalde Condons rapport aan, de bevestiging door de N.A.S. en de
UFO-studies uit het verleden. Hij verklaarde dat de bestendigheid van het
project niet verantwoord kon worden noch op basis van gevaar voor de
nationale veiligheid, noch door de belangstelling door de wetenschap.
Het probleem van
het archief voor de rapporten en aantekeningen over UFOs van meer dan 20 jaar
onderzoek door de luchtmacht, werd dus aan de Maxwell-luchtmachtbasis in
ALABAMA toevertrouwd. Terzelfde tijd met het persbulletin over de
afsluiting van BLUE BOOK in december 1969, raadde S.A.F.O.I. elke bevelhebber
van een luchtmachtbasis aan om iedereen te vertellen dat de luchtmacht niet
langer het UFO-onderzoek verzorgde. Indien de melders van de UFO toch bezorgd
waren om hun veiligheid tengevolge de UFO-waarneming, dienden ze kontakt op te
nemen met een ordehandhavende instelling. Indien ze ervan overtuigd waren dat
de UFO-melding enerlei wetenschappelijke waarde voorstelde, mochten ze kontakt
opnemen met de dichtsbijzijnde universiteit..
Deel 7 - na meer dan 60 jaar Ufo-*onderzoek nog steeds angst om de waarheid..
NU VOLGT DEEL 7 VAN HET RAPPORT " NA MEER DAN 60 JAAR UFO-ONDERZOEK NOG STEEDS ANGST OM DE WAARHEID"...
Alhoewel de
luchtmacht niet langer belangstelling koesterde in burgerlijke UFO-verslagen,
vervolgde ze na 1969 het onderzoeken van meldingen gedaan door militair
personeel rond de wereld. De C.I.A. heeft alzo onderzoeken naar de
internationale UFO-waarnemingen geleid (daar is suggestief bewijs dat studies
van het verschijnsel, los van geval-onderzoeken, eveneens plaatsgevonden
hebben, volgens de fel bekritiseerde enbesproken MJ-12 dokumenten en groep...)
Hoedanook, het CONDON-rapport had ook zijn
nadeel. Vele argeloze lezers besloten dat het rapport het laatste woord over
het onderwerp was en dat het UFO-mysterie voor eens en altijd afgedaan had...
Wetenschappers, die
geen systematische en globale kennis over het onderwerp bezaten, schermden vaak
met het rapport om hun gebrek aan kennis over UFOs te rechtvaardigen. Zelfs
vele UFO-BUFFS-volgers zeiden hun lidmaatschap op bij vele particuliere
organisaties, bewerend dat er geen enkele reden meer bestond om het onderwerp
te onderzoeken. De schade, gedaan door het Condonrapport was groot, maar had
absoluut geen effekt op het UFO-verschijnsel zelf...
3.2.3. Een nadere kijk op PROJECT BLUE BOOK SPECIAL REPORT N°.14.
·algemeen
Op 25 oktober 1955
werd het Project Blue Book Special Report N°.14 (dd. 5 mei 1955) met
heel veel tamtam vrijgegeven. Een perscommuniqué in bijlage stelde voor dat een
particuliere wetenschappelijke groep onder supervisie van het AIR TECHNICAL
INTELLIGENCE CENTER (A.T.I.C.) te DAYTON, OHIO het bestaan van UFOs had
weerlegd. Het ging om de secretaris van de luchtmacht Donald
A. QUARLES:
- Op basis
van deze studie geloven wij dat er geen objecten zoals deze die
publiek beschreven worden als vliegende
schotels het grondgebied van de
Verenigde Staten hebben overgevlogen. Ik
voel me zekerdat zelfs de
onbekende drie percent kunnen verklaard
worden als conventionele
verschijnselen of illusies indien meer
volledige waargenomen gegevens
zouden beschikbaar zijn.
Desalniettemin
wilden anderen deze interpretaties van de bevindingen van de studie aanvechten.
Quarlers opmerkingen zullen de geestdriftige en onkritische bevestiging van de
voornaamste media ontvangen, net alsof ze verlangen dat de luchtmacht de
populaire speculatie over buitenaardse bezoekers moet blijven ontmoedigen. De
wetenschappelijke schrijver Jonathan N. LEONARD van het tijdschrift TIME
begroette de studie, wiens inhoud ook REPORT 14 bevatte als indrukwekkend,
intelligent, nauwgezet en gedetailleerd; een verschrikkelijk succesboek voor
UFO-aanbidders. Maar voor de vroegere leider van project Blue Book,
Edward J. RUPPELT, die het onderzoek vier jaar vroeger hielp opstarten, was dit
geen grote studie. Niettemin schreef de historicus David M.
JACOBS het speciale Report 14 van 1956 werd de hoeksteen van de
positie van de luchtmacht over UFOs... dat de luchtmacht de UFOs
wetenschappelijk bestudeerd had en geen enkel bewijs voor hun bestaan als een
uniek fenomeen vond.
·Achtergrond
Op 26 en 27
december 1951 had de toenmaligedirecteur van PROJECT GRUDGE, RUPPELT en kolonel S. H.
KIRKLAND van A.T.I.C. een ontmoeting met medewerkers van het BATTELLE
MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, een denktank, gevestigd in COLUMBUS, OHIO. Ze
verzochten om hun bijstand te verlenen om het UFO-onderzoek van de luchtmacht
nieuw leven in te blazen. NAAST het leveren van
specialisten op elk vakgebied van de wetenschap,zou RUPPELT later schrijven,zouden zij twee studies maken voor ons: één
studie over wat er van een persoon kan verwacht worden dat hij ziet en zich
weet te herinneren van een UFO-waarneming en één statistische studie over
UFO-rapporten. Het eindrapport van de studie over het waarnemingsvermogen van
een UFO-waarnemer zou een vragenlijst zijn. Op 8 januari 1952
aanvaardde BATTELLE het voorstel om het project aan te nemen, noterend Het is billijk te geloven dat sommige typen van ongewone
objecten of fenomenen echt waargenomen werden, aangezien veel van de
gerapporteerde meldingen van hoog gekwalificeerde bronnen kwamen.
PROJECT STORCK was de geklassificeerde naam voor de BATTELLE-studie,
opgestart begin der 50 jaren. Hun opdracht was vooral het onderzoeken van de
technologische oorlogsvoeringscapaciteiten van de Sovjet-Unie. De UFO-studie
werd geïntegreerd in STORCK. De studie startte officieel op 31 maart onder
leiding van William T. REID. Er bestonden vijf gelijste vereisten: Een
groep raadgevers leveren ... Bijstand verlenen bij het verbeteren van de
bestaande vragenlijsten... Analyseren van bestaande waarnemingsrapporten...
Inschrijven op een krantenknipselsdienst... Maandelijks informeren van de
sponsors van het geleverde werk.
Begin juni hadden
de medewerkers van STORCK een lijst opgesteld van ongeveer 30 karakteristieken
te encoderen op IBM-kaarten. Tevens bereidden ze een experimentele
waarnemingsvragenlijst voor. Die zomer kreeg STORCK af te rekenen met een
toevloed van rapporten, het resultaat van één van de historische, grote
UFO-golven. De waarnemingen namen niet alleen in aantal toe (meer dan het
driedubbele), maar groeiden evenzeer in kwaliteit. Zoals STORCK in zijn 7°
Status Report van 10 november 1952 noteerde, deze rapporten zijn nu meer
gedetailleerd en vaak gaat het om de waarneming van één object door meerdere
getuigen.
STORCK moest zijn
analyse klaar hebben tegen 1 oktover 1953, maar blijkbaar ging hun werk door
tot de late lente van 1955. Storcks bevindingen werden geïntegreerd in het 14°
Status Report van Blue BOOK. Het vorige rapport, dateerde van 30 september
1953, was het twaalfde. Er wordt aangenomen dat het voorgestelde dertiendeReport 14 werd, misschien zoals Herbert J.
STRENZ opperde,wegens een militaire
vorm van bijgeloof
·INHOUD en CONCLUSIE
De
onderzoeksgevallen van STORCK kwamen van militaire bronnen of van volledige versies
van vragenlijsten, die het voor het melden van waarnemingen opgesteld hadden.
Een klein aantal waren in de vorm van rechtstreekse brieven van
onbetwistbare en betrouwbare bronnen. Na het verwijderen van een 800-tal
rapporten, die te pover gedokumenteerd waren om bruikbaar te zijn, hield het
rekening met de resterende 3.201 gevallen. De grote meerderheid van deze
gevallen kwamen van de projecten SIGN, GRUDGE en de BLUE BOOK-dossiers van
waarnemingen van 1 juni 1948 tot 31 december 1952. Deze rapporten werden
onderverdeeld in negen evaluatiecategoriën, namelijk BALLON,
ASTRONOMISCH, LICHTFENOMENEN, VOGELS, WOLKEN en STOF, ONVOLDOENDE GEGEVENS,
PSYCHOLOGISCH en ANDEREN.
De eerste stap in
de evaluatie was om de belangrijkste, gewichtige feiten van de rapporten vast
te stellen. De tweede fase had betrekking op het bepalen van de
geloofwaardigheid van de waarnemer en de logische samenhang van het rapport,
evengoed als de algemene kwaliteit ervan. De derde stap was het onderbrengen
van de melding in één van de negen categoriën of de identifikatie van het
object.
De goedgekeurde
identifikatie werd gedaan door de medewerker, die het rapport op een werkblad
overschreef. Achteraf beoordeelde een lid van het identifikatieteam het
rapport, zonder vooraf te weten wat de conclusies van de andere persoon (en)
waren. Indien de twee personen tot dezelfde identifikatie kwamen, werd deze als
enige eindconclusie aangenomen maar enkel indien de ene of de andere of
beiden het object niet als onbekend verklaarde. Indien zij niet akkoord
gingen over een conventionele uitleg, analyseerde de overige teamleden het
rapport. Indien of de één of de andere voorstelde dat het object onbekend was,
bestudeerde het totale team het rapport. Bruce MACCABEE, een fysicus, die later
een uitgebreid en sterk kritisch overzicht van Rapport 14 maakte, merkt op dat
het klaar moest zijn dat STORCK persoonlijk speciale voorzorgen nam om
zich ervan te verzekeren dat ONBEKENDEN effektief ook onbekend waren.
De onbekenden werden omschreven als die rapporten van waarnemingen,
waarin de beschrijving van het object en zijn bewegingen niet gepast konden
worden in het patroon van enig bekend object of verschijnsel.
·De kritieken
Op het einde van de studie werden slechts
100 exemplaren van Report 14 gedrukt. Deze kopies werden naar de officieren van
de luchtmacht gezonden, die als woordvoeder van de luchtmacht tegenover de
publieke media gekend waren. Op verzoek van het Californisch Congreslid John
E. MOSS, voorzitter van het House Sub-Committee on Government
Information, die de luchtmacht onder druk zette, werden op aanvraag
meer exemplaren beschikbaar gesteld. De reden waarom er slechts 100 exemplaren
gedrukt werden, was volgens de luchtmacht de hoge kostprijs van 10 à 15 US$ per
gedrukt exemplaar. Waarschijnlijk de grootste verspreiding, tenminste tussen
ufologen, kwam tot stand door de inspanningen van Leon DAVIDSON, vroeger
een wetenschapper in het LOS ALAMOS Wetenschappelijk laboratorium en lid van
een informele groep van wetenschappers en ingenieurs. Deze groep bestudeerde de
epidemische golf waarnemingen van groene vuurballen green fireballs in New
Mexico in de late jaren 40 en de begin jaren 50. In 1956 drukte en verkocht
Davidson kopies van Report 14 samen met zijn analysen en kommentaren. Vroeger
al was Davidson ervan overtuigd geraakt dat vliegende schotels geheime
instrumenten waren, ontwikkeld door de Verenigde Staten zelf. Volgens zijn
persoonlijke mening was Report 14 een slimme en ultieme poging om dit feit te
verbergen. Davidson concentreerde het grootste deel van zijn analyse,
hoedanook, op een eigenaardige wanverhouding tussen aan de ene kant het
perscommuniqué van 25 oktober 1955 en de samenvatting van het rapport van de
luchtmacht en aan de andere kant de inhoud van het volledige rapport zelf.
HIJ stelden het
belangrijk en interessant feit vast dat in de studie van STORCK Onbekende waarnemingen 33,3% bedragen van al de waargenomen
objecten, waarvan de betrouwbaarheid van de sighting als EXCELLENT
moest beschouwd worden. De chi-square-test toonde aan dat zelfs de auteurs
van Report 14 moesten erkennen dat het zeer onwaarschijnlijk was dat de
ONBEKENDEN dezelfde waren als de BEKENDEN. Maar zij weigerden pertinent
toe te geven dat dit betekende dat de schotel-vorm een echt type van een
nieuw object konden zijn.
N.I.C.A.P.
(National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) betwistte de uitspraak
van Report 14 dat de afwezigheid van éénvormigheid van de UFOs door de
getuigen, het onmogelijk maakte om een model van een vliegende schotel te
bouwen. N.I.C.A.P. citeerde deze woorden uit een GRUDGE-analyse van 1949: Het
grootste aantal rapporten heeft betrekking op daglicht-waarnemingen van
metaalachtige, zilverkleurige schotelvormige objecten, ruwweg in diameter
tienmaal hun dikte. Het voegde er aan toe: Van deze
officiële beschrijving kan een werkend model van een UFO of een vliegende
schotel zonder de minste twijfel gebouwd worden.
Een latere criticus
, kernfysicus en Ufoloog Stanton T. FRIEDMAN bekloeg zich erover dat de
verklaring van de luchtmacht dat maar drie percent onbekenden waren een vals
cijfer is, in feite:
- verwijst het enkel maar op een kleine groep van 131
waarnemingen onder
druk bekeken om op één of andere wijze het
percentage onbekenden
drastisch te verlagen tijdens de zes
maanden, die de persconferentie
voorafgingen. Als je de kwaliteit van de
verspreiding onderzoekt, dan vind je
dat hoe beter de kwaliteit van de
waarnemingen zijn, dat deze gevallen
waarschijnlijk MEER kans hebben om niet
geïdentificeerd te kunnen worden,
en het minste vermoedelijk dan dat het
allemaalonvoldoende informatie-
waarnemingen waren... Een zorgvuldig
onderzoek van dit dokument leid je
onmiddellijk naar de verklaring dat sommige
gerapporteerde objecten
RUIMTETUIGEN waren, waargenomen door
bekwame waarnemers tijdens
een langere tijdsperiode en onder goede
waarnemingsomstandigheden. De
besluiten en de perscommuniqués hebben
weinig betrekking op de gegevens
in het rapport zelf.
Vervolgens in een
meer uitgebreide kritiek, verklaart FRIEDMAN dat de ONBEKENDEN zelden enige
gelijkenis vertonen in verschijning of gedrag met de GEÏDENTIFICEERDEN. Typisch
de eerstgenoemden werden beschreven als metaalachtige, symmetrische
schotels, of in sommige gevallen, veel grotere sigaarvormige objecten (=
moederschepen), waar de schotels in en uitvlogen met buitengewone
vaststellingskenmerken.
Een andere criticus,
niemand minder dan de vroegere wetenschappelijke adviseur en astronoom van Blue
Book Dr. Allen HYNEK, drukte zijn vrbazing uit op STORCKs bewering dat er geen
duidelijk verschil bestond tussen de bekende en onbekende gevallen. Het
besluit van REPORT 14, schrijft hij, negeert bijna
onbeschaamdvolledig de resultaten van
deze chi-square testen, alsof deze resultaten zelfs niet
bestaan! Volgens zijn
peroonlijke inschatting was het resultaat volslagen ongeloofwaardig.
De grondigste
reëvaluatie van het rapport 14 gebeurde door Bruce MACCABEE, een
optica-fysicus, die belangstelling voor UFOs koesterde. Maccabee vond dat de
gegevens van Report 14 er op wezen dat de beste gekwalificeerde
waarnemers de beste rapporten maken en waarschijnlijk de meeste ONVERKLAARBARE
rapporteren. Terwijl de armzaligste waarnemers de slechtste rapporten maken (de
meeste INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION) en lijken de minste rapporteurs te zijn van
onverklaarbare gevallen. De meeste objecten, die zichtbaar waren in de
onverklaarbare rapporten, waren gedurende een langere tijdsperiode waarneembaar
dan bij de meeste bekende objecten. Volgen Maccabee spreekt deze
vaststelling het algemeen gevoel tegen dat de meeste ONVERKLAARBARE
WAARNEMINGEN het resultaat waren van kortere waarnemingsperioden in tijdsduur.
In een poging om
een specifiek resultaat te regelen, vonden zij blijkbaar intuïtief
onverklaarbaren. De analisten van STORCK konden enkel raden dat de
psychologische make-up van de getuigen in de onbekende gevallen, plus een
enkel erkende bron (ballon, vliegtuig, atmosferische storing of andere
conventionele stimili) voor veel waarnemingen, de resultaten vervalsten, zoals
het scheppen van een kunstmatig verschil tussen verklaarbare en onverklaarbare
rapporten. Maccabee wees het argument van de hand als zwak in het zicht van
de onstemden (= de analisten), dieprobeerden klaarblijkelijk alle gevallen te identificeren.
De analisten
beslisten toen aangezien astronomische verklaringen van toepasing waren bij de
bekende gevallen, dit hetzelfde moest zijn bij de onbekende rapporten,
uitgezonderd dan van de vroegere astronomische waarnemingen, die al uit de
files verwijderd waren. Een evenwicht zoekend verwijderden de analisten de
categorie astronomische gevallen uit de bekenden en vergeleken ze dan met de
onbekenden met weinig effekt. Uiteindelijk verminderden ze de onbekenden toch
door speculatie wat expleciet hun bevindingen trotseerde aangezien deze
rapporten, die naar het onbekenden neigden, ook deze waren waarvoor de meeste
informatie beschikbaar was ze verklaarden doodgewoon dat de onbekenden zulke
rapporten waren wegens de onbeschikbaarheid van aanvullende gegevens,
ofschoon onvoldoende informatie zelf een volledige, aparte categorie was.
Maccabee schreef
dat wanneer de gegevens van REPORT 14 nauwgezet geanalyseerd werden, de
volgende vaststelling gemaakt kon worden dat :
- de
waarschijnlijkheid dat de karakteristieken (in kleur, duur van de
waarneming, aantal, lichthelderheid,
vorm en snelheid) van de
ONBEKENDEN de karakteristieken van de
BEKENDEN evenaarden,
vergelijkbaar is met het product van
alle waarschijnlijkheden voor deze zes
testen, het aantal kleiner zou zijn dan
0,000.000.000.625! Iets conservatiever
zijn, ik denk dat het aanvaardbaar zou
zijn te beweren, dat de mogelijkheid,
de waarschijnlijkheid dat de
verspreiding alles evenaart (oa de
waarschijnlijkheid dat de ONBEKENDEN
gelijk zijn aan de BEKENDEN)
