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

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

    In België had je vooral BUFON of het Belgisch UFO-Netwerk, dat zich met UFO's bezighoudt. BEZOEK DUS ZEKER VOOR ALLE OBJECTIEVE INFORMATIE , enkel nog beschikbaar via Facebook en deze blog. Verder heb je ook het Belgisch-Ufo-meldpunt en Caelestia, die prachtig, doch ZEER kritisch werk leveren, ja soms zelfs héél sceptisch... Voor Nederland kan je de mooie site www.ufowijzer.nl bezoeken van Paul Harmans. Een mooie site met veel informatie en artikels. MUFON of het Mutual UFO Network Inc is een Amerikaanse UFO-vereniging met afdelingen in alle USA-staten en diverse landen. MUFON's mission is the analytical and scientific investigation of the UFO- Phenomenon for the benefit of humanity... Je kan ook hun site bekijken onder www.mufon.com. Ze geven een maandelijks tijdschrift uit, namelijk The MUFON UFO-Journal. Since 02/01/2020 is Pieter ex-president (=voorzitter) of BUFON, but also ex-National Director MUFON / Flanders and the Netherlands. We work together with the French MUFON Reseau MUFON/EUROP. ER IS EEN NIEUWE GROEPERING DIE ZICH BUFON NOEMT, MAAR DIE HEBBEN NIETS MET ONZE GROEP TE MAKEN. DEZE COLLEGA'S GEBRUIKEN DE NAAM BUFON VOOR HUN SITE... Ik wens hen veel succes met de verdere uitbouw van hun groep. Zij kunnen de naam BUFON wel geregistreerd hebben, maar het rijke verleden van BUFON kunnen ze niet wegnemen...

    History Channel Puts The Strongest UFO Evidence Under The Microscope

    • In 1986, a Japan Airlines pilot saw what he described as an unidentified flying object over Alaska closely tailing his 747. He made an evasive move. His career was thrown into turmoil, but he never recanted what he claimed he saw.

    • In 1987, an Federal Aviation Administration executive says the CIA warned him not to talk about UFOs because the public would panic.

    • In 1997, former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington mocked thousands of people who said they saw mysterious lights over Phoenix, calling out a staffer dressed in a cheesy ET costume at a press conference. Ten years later, he apologized for lying to the media and the public.

    What these events have in common is that they are unveiled on a new two-hour History Channel special, "Secret Access: UFOs On The Record," that features in-depth accounts from people who have been willing to risk their jobs and reputations to speak out about their remarkable experiences with UFOs.

    "The theme of the program is that UFOs exist, but there's a small percentage of sightings that are significant and haven't been explained," said Leslie Kean, author of The New York Times bestseller UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On The Record, which forms the basis of the History Channel special.

    Here's a collection of images that Leslie Kean put together for The Huffington Post on Aug. 23, 2010, to promote the publication of her book:

    Of all UFO sightings reported, most can be explained as ordinary phenomena, and therefore discarded. However, there are some spectacular, well-documented UFO events have been officially investigated by government agencies, witnessed by pilots and confirmed by Air Force generals. No conventional explanations were found despite extensive efforts by experts to do so. These are the cases explored in "UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record" and in the History Channel special, "Secret Access: UFOs On The Record."

    Photo: U.S. Coast Guard, Salem, MA; 1952

    "There is a phenomenon here and there are many high level officials, including pilots and government people, who have been involved with it and who stand behind the existence of UFOs.

    "We make the point that we don't know what they are and that there are a significant number of cases that need to be studied further," Kean told The Huffington Post.

    One compelling case presented in "Secret Access," which has become known as the Rendlesham Forest incident, involved more than 50 military eyewitnesses stationed at the joint U.S. Air Force/NATO bases, Bentwaters and Woodbridge, in Suffolk in 1980.

    As the incident unfolded, numerous UFOs of various shapes and sizes appeared near the bases, according to a voice recording of deputy base commander, Lt. Col. Charles Halt during the event.

    "This was something of intelligent control beyond any technology we know," Halt told this reporter several months ago. "It's my firm belief that it was extraterrestrial or from a different dimension."

    Then there's the remarkable case involving former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington, which began on the night of March 13, 1997, when crowds of citizens reported gigantic, silent craft moving around in the skies around Phoenix and which took off silently at blazing speeds. Witnesses included police officers, pilots, military personnel and -- as was finally revealed 10 years later -- Symington himself.

    The two-term governor was at home, watching television when news came on announcing UFO reports in the nearby area. Symington's security detail had gone for the day, and he decided to get into his car alone and check it out.

    "I was expecting to see something in the distance, but was awestruck when this thing went overhead. It was moving steadily and quietly," he told The Huffington Post.

    Symington's description of the huge boomerang-shaped craft matched many others who also reported it that night.

    WATCH:

    After three months of local media coverage, the Arizona sightings finally hit the national airwaves and were dubbed the "Phoenix Lights." With growing public demand for an explanation, Symington -- still tight-lipped about his own sighting -- held a national press conference that would haunt him for years.

    Claiming to have the culprit responsible for the Phoenix Lights, the governor introduced his chief of staff dressed as an alien and wearing handcuffs. As his staffer was unmasked, Symington told the press,"This just goes to show that you guys are entirely too serious."

    Ten years after his phony alien stunt, Symington finally fessed up about his own dramatic 1997 Phoenix sighting.

    "Well, I was confronted by good citizens who were really upset with me, and I didn't realize the depth of their anger. It just really bothered my conscience, so I felt I really needed to square with the truth and that's what I did."

    Symington admits there's a taboo about elected officials talking about UFOs.

    "I think if you hold a high public office, that the minute you start talking about UFOs or extraterrestrials or anything of that nature, the media immediately tees off and ridicules it. I often refer to the media culture in our country as the culture of ridicule.

    "So, everybody reaches for their ridicule gun first before they seriously address the issue when it comes to the matter of UFOs. If you're an elected official, you really need to be careful about what you say, because the media can just totally destroy your credibility."

    "Secret Access" isn't the first UFO program presented by the History Channel, according to Julian Hobbs, vice president of development and production.

    "History doesn't necessarily believe or disbelieve in UFOs. In this case, what really caught our eye about Leslie's book was this idea that 95 percent of all UFO sightings can be pretty easily dismissed -- it's the 5 percent in which you have literally governors, military officials, pilots -- people normally considered to be level-headed, sane and credible," Hobbs told The Huffington Post.

    "There wouldn't be the film without the book. When I read Leslie's book, on which the film is based, it changed my opinion about the fact that I think it's worth further investigation into these phenomena," Hobbs added.

    Kean, herself, is optimistic about potential contact with extraterrestrials.

    "I would hope that they are benign visitors from other planets -- that they would be something that could in some way benefit our own struggle on this planet," Kean said. "Even if we knew that we were not alone in the universe, somehow that knowledge alone could affect how we perceive ourselves and maybe affect the future of our civilization."

    And Symington is much more outspoken on the subject now than he was while governor of Arizona.

    "I know what I saw. To me, there's no question that we've experienced extraterrestrial visits and civilizations that are far more advanced than we are," he suggested.

    "I don't approach it from a fearful standpoint. I actually like to think that we're not alone in the universe, and I'm not bashful on the subject. I think we're dealing with some fascinating unknowns and someday, the truth will out."

    The History Channel presentation of "Secret Access: UFOs On The Record", premieres Thursday, Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. EDT.

    DEEL 8  - NA MEER DAN 60 JAAR UFO-ONDERZOEK NOG STEEDS ANGST OM DE WAARHEID...

    ·         Veronderstellingen

    In de 90’ jaren interviewde twee vooraanstaande ufologen, verbonden aan J. ALLEN HYNEK CENTER for UFO-STUDIES, Jennie ZEIDMAN en Mark RODEGHIER drie mannen, namelijk Art WASTERMAN, Perry RISPPEE en William REID, die aan de BATTELLE-studie meegewerkt hadden. Zeidman en Rodeghier zouden hetvolgende rapporteren:

                - Zonder uitzondering tonen onze interviews aan dat de Battelle ingenieurs

    weinig intellectuele tevredenheid ontvingen voor hun UFO-werk. Op geen

    enkel ogenblik koesterde de Battelle staf het idee dat het UFO-fenomeen het

    resultaat was van Sovjet technologie, wat hun voornaamste zorg was.

    Daarvoor was het project een afleiding van hun voornaamste bezigheden;

    bijgevolg was hun belangstelling en hun tijd gewijd aan het UFO-onderzoek

    eerder laag. Geen van de drie mannen zei dat ze meer dan 25% van hun tijd

    spendeerden aan UFO-werk. REID dacht zelfs dat hij in het totaal maar 10%

    van zijn tijd besteedde aan het onderzoek.

    De drie mannen drukten verslagenheid uit, zelfs na 40 jaar,  dat ze bij de

    Battelle studie  en het UFO-onderzoek betrokken raakten.

    ZEIDMAN, die zelf eens voor Battelle werkte en Rodeghier begonnen te geloven dat de geest van de ingenieurs van het BATTELLE personeel verantwoordelijk was voor de disconnectie tussen gegevens en besluiten :

                - Waarom zouden de schrijvers van het rapport  deze omstotelijke

    bevindingen genegeerd hebben ? De BATTELLE-staf waren ingenieurs en

    ingenieurs waren in 1953  (of zelfs de dag van vandaag!) niet gewend om

    statische verwantschappen of verhoudingen te zoeken in data, die van

    mensen kwamen en niet van wetenschappelijke instrumenten.  Bijvoorbeeld

    het Battelle-team nam 12 van de meest betrouwbare ongeïdentificeerde

    rapporten en probeerden en werkend model van een UFO te bouwen. Indien

    je als ingenieur, probeert te bepalen dat sommige UFO’s gestructureerde

    tuigen zijn, dan heeft deze oefening zin. Maar wanneer deze inspanning, niet

    veranderlijk, faalde, mag het besluit niet zijn dat het project onmogelijk was

    door de limieten, de begrenzingen van menselijke getuigenis, of dat daar meer

    dan één UFO-model betrokken kan geweest zijn bij de rapporten, of dat enig

    uniek natuurlijk verschijnsel de kernoorzaak was. Neen, het besluit was dat

    “er is weinig waarschijnlijkheid dat enige ONBEKENDEN waarnemingen

    een soort “vliegende schotel  vertegenwoordigenl”.

    Wij veronderstellen daarom dat gezien het BATTELLE team geen UFO-model

    kon bouwen en dit wegens de opleiding, de training van de deelnemers en de

    wetenschappelijke “mindst”, het exclusief gebruik van statistische gegevens

    om te besluiten dat een gestructureerd tuig waargenomen was, essentieel

    onvoorstelbaar was voor hen.

    Het was gemakkelijker en behoudender om de statistische testen te negeren,

    toen ze het rapport schreven. Dit is geen wetenschappelijke oneerlijkheid; het

    is het echte leven voorbeeld van hoe vooronderstellingen invloed hebben op

    het werk en het resultaat van wetenschappelijke projecten...

     

    ·        U2- UFO – Top Secret...

    In 1997 trok een artikel in “STUDIES OF INTELLIGENCE”, een C.I.A.-tijdschrift, grote aandacht. Het was het onderwerp van een artikel in de befaamde krant NEW-YORK TIMES.

    Volgens de historicus van de C.I.A. Gerald K. HAINES werkte de luchtmacht samen met de C.I.A.-agentschappen om de cover-up te dekken van UFO-waarnemingen van geheime spionagevliegtuigen, inbegrepen de U-2 (vluchten startte in augustus 1955) en later de SR-71.

    Haines schreef:

                De eerste U-2’s waren zilverkleurig (later werden ze zwart geschilderd) en

    weerkaatsten de zonnestralen, vooral bij zonsopgang en zonsondergang. Zij

    verschenen vaak als vurige objecten voor de waarnemers beneden. De

    onderzoekers van BLUE BOOK van de luchtmacht waren zich bewust van de

    geheime U-2 vluchten, probeerde dergelijke vluchten uit te leggen als een

    natuurlijk verschijnsel, zoals ijskristallen of temperatuurinversies. Door UFO-

    meldingen te checken met het C.I.A. Agentschap U-2 Project Staf in

    Washington, waren de Blue BOOk onderzoekers in staat om veel UFO-

    waarnemingen aan de U-2 vluchten te linken. Zij gingen, hoedanook; 

    zorgvuldig te werk, om niets te lekken over de waren oorzaak van de UFO-

    waarneming van het publiek.

    Volgens latere schattingen van C.I.A.-officiëlen, die onder het project U-2 en

    de OXCART (SR-71) of het BLACK BIRD-project werkten, konden meer dan

    50% van de gerapporteerde UFO-waarnemingen van de late 50’ jaren en de

    60’ jaren toegewezen worden aan bekende, bemande (vooral U-2) vluchten

    boven de U.S.A.. Dit leidde ertoe dat de luchtmacht misleidende en

    bedriegelijke verklaringen aflegde over de gerapporteerde waarnemingen

    naar het publiek toe. Hun doel was vooral het bedaren van de publieke

    aandacht en vooral om het buitengewoon gevoelig nationaal

    veiligheidsproject te beschermen.

    Deze buitengewone beweringen werden kritiekloos behandeld in de grote media, die nota namen van de langgeleden verdachtmakingen door sommige Ufologen geüit over een officiële cover-up van het UFO-fenomeen. Geen enkel bericht zocht hoedanook een link tussen de U-2 vluchten en specifieke UFO-gevallen (Cf. het Alaska-incident) of de vele vragen die HAINES artikel deed oprijzen en waarop hij het antwoord schuldig moest blijven. Tijdens interviews door Mark RODEGHIER van het J. ALLEN HYNEK CENTER for UFO-STUDIES kenmerkte het hoofd van Blue Book Robert FRIEND deze bewering als “lachwekkend” en ontkende dat ze ooit verplicht waren om U-2 vluchten te verbergen. Bruce MACCABEE, die gedurende lange tijd de officiële UFO-poletiek bestudeerde, noemde het idee “belachelijk”, wijzend op de andere problemen, dat “het grootste deel van de waarnemingen s’nachts gebeurden, op het ogenblik dat de U-2 niet zichtbaar was en de volgende grote fractie is tijdens de dag, wanneer de U-2, op bijna een hoogte van 70.000 voet, werkelijk onzichtbaar zou zijn...”

    Persoonlijk kan ik zeker aanvaarden dat een aantal UFO-meldingen vallen onder de noemer van spionage – en / of testvluchten. Maar het gevaar schuilt hem net in de onverschilligheid om alle UFO-sightings op dergelijke simplistische wijze te verklaren. Er bestaan nog steeds een aantal specifieke UFO-cases, waarvoor nog geen logische, aanvaardbare oplossing gevonden werd. Iemand die met een open geest onderzoek verricht, zal de hypothesen voor deze specifieke gevallen open laten. Een scepticus of non-believer past eerder de procedures toe van de onderzoekers van de diverse projecten van de luchtmacht ( “possible”, “probable” , “insufficient data”,...) en vertrekt vanuit het standpunt dat alle UFO-meldingen op een aardse manier te verklaren zijn. Ik vrees dat het laatste woord hierover nog niet geschreven werd. Het gevaar schuilt in onze oogkleppen en onze gedachten “Heb ik gelijk of heb ik gelijk?”. Objectiviteit, nuchterheid, logisch denken over de onderzoeksprojecten (SIGN, GRUDE, STRORCK, BLUE BOOK,...) tonen volgens mij duidelijk aan dat er een UFO-probleem bestaat; dat de luchtmacht volgens de actuele beschikbare gegevens een dubbele rol speelde. Hun taak bestond er vooral in om een grote paniek reactie bij het publiek te vermijden en een aantal feiten te verdoezelen.

    Indien UFO’s echt niet bestaan, waarvoor was/is al die heisa dan nodig? Kan jij mij hiervoor een correcte en volledige uitleg geven, Dat de luchtmacht het geweer regelmatig  van schouder veranderde, zien we door de veelvuldige verklaringen die ze al aflegden over het ROSWELL-incident in New Mexico. Het kritiekloos aanvaarden van al deze verklaringen en uitvluchten van de officiële instanties over problemen, zoals het UFO-verschijnsel, is zijn ogen sluiten voor een andere realiteit...

    DEEL 9 - NA MEER DAN 60-JAAR UFO-ONDERZOEK NOG STEEDS ANGST OM DE WAARHEID...

    4. De MODERNE UFOLOGIE vanaf 1973...

    4.1. De UFO-flap van 1973.

    De UFO-golf van 1973 was de eerste golf UFO-sightings sinds het afsluiten van Project Blue Book, waarover de luchtmacht geen uitspraak deed van hetgeen de mensen in de lucht zagen. Bij de pers kwam deze UFO-golf eveneens verrassend over, omdat ze door het CONDON-rapport aanvaard hadden dat het UFO-probleem opgelost was. Het zou nu een nostalgisch product van het verleden moeten zijn. Maar de meldingen kwamen net op dezelfde wijze over als bij de andere UFO-flaps met geen enkel referentie tot sociale gebeurtenissen. Het ontplooide het volledig gamma van UFO-aktiviteiten van hoog niveau waarnemingen tot inzittenden. Ontvoeringsgevallen leken toe te nemen sinds de 1973-UFO-golf en zeker in de 70’ jaren in het algemeen. Ufo-onderzoekers besteedden meer aandacht aan deze  ongeloofwaardigheden, soms echte absurde verhalen, nochthans hadden ze het nog steeds moeilijk om de betekenis van de gegevens te vatten. Het werd steeds duidelijker dat de ontvoeringsgevallen integraal deel uitmaakten van UFO-ervaringen en vlug op systematische wijze uitgeschakeld dienden te worden.

    Dr. J. Allen HYNEK, nu volledig overtuigd van de onregelmatige theorie van UFO-meldingen, nam deze gelegenheid te baat om de opening van het CENTER FOR UFO-STUDIES (C.U.F.O.S.) aan te kondigen... welke de eerste wetenschappelijke organisatie zou zijn om het UFO-mysterie te bestuderen. Vooral door het voorafgaand I’m sorry-smoesje na te trekken, kon elke cynicus vaststellen dat de feiten de werkelijke achtergrond van de UFO’s aantoonden en dat e Amerikaanse luchtmacht zelf verbeelding was, zoas de MC NAUGHT-SYNDICATE cartoon van 17 april 1974 toonde. Het geloof van het grote publiek in UFO’s groeide gestadig aan en de massa begon het UFO-fenomeen meer en meer te aanvaarden. Een GALLUP-enquête van 1947 toonde aan dat 90% van de Amerikanen gehoord hadden van de gerapporteerde “vliegende schotel” van Kenneth Arnold... 19 jaar later bewees een andere GaLLUP-enquête dat 96% van de ondervraagden iets van UFO’s gehord of gelezen hadden. Dit onderzoek vroeg  het publiek eveneens hun oordeel over de origine van UFO’s. 46% van de ondervraagden verklaarden dat UFO’s echt bestonden; 29% zeiden dat het allemaal verbeelding was en 25% had geen mening...

    In 1966 beweerden 5% van de ondervraagden dat ze ooit een UFO waargenomen hadden. Indien je dit cijfer extrapoleert op de volledige volwassen Amerikaanse bevolking van die tijd, waren er toen ruim 5 miljoen Amerikanen, die een UFO-achtige ervaringen hadden beleefd. Een nieuwe Gallup-enquête in november 1973 toonde aan dat  een verbazingwekkende 11% van de volwassen Amerikanen of méér dan 15 miljoen Amerikanen beweerden dat ze een UFO hadden gezien, zelfs ex-presidenten Jimmy CARTER en FORD waren UFO-waarnemers. Deze laatste Amerikaanse opiniepeiling toonde ook aan dat ruim 51% van de Amerikanen geloofden dat UFO’s echt bestaan en geen denkbeeldige producten zijn vande menselijke verbeeldingskracht, noch hallucinaties. Tenslotte bewees dit onderzoek dat 46% van alle ondervraagden geloofden in intelligent leven op andere planeten. Onder deze gelovers waren vele wetenschappers, zoals bijvoorbeeld Dr. Carl SAGAN. Dit percentage toonde een terke toename van 10%  aan in het geloven van het bestaan van buitenaards leven sinds 1966 toen dat slechts 34% bedroeg...

    Doordat d komische politiek van Project Blue Book tot het bittere einde gespeeld werd, voelden vele wetenschapslui in de V.S. de noodzaak van een ernstige studie aan. Het CONDON-rapport, dat besloot dat het UFO-onderzoek geen toegevoegde  wetenschappelijke waarde had en dus de moeite van onderzoek niet waard was, vertoonde toch héél veel hiaten. Zo was er het opvallend en tevens verrassend feit dat 25% van alle onderzochte UFO-rapporten “ONVERKLAARBAAR” bleven. De voorgaande studies waren op zichzelf geen voorbeeld van nieuwe wetenschappelijke aanpak van het probleem, maar eerder het samenbrengen en catalogeren van de data in een poging alle meldingen met conventionele verklaringen te identificeren.  Deze vooringenomenheid om alle UFO-meldingen op natuurlijke, conventionele of wetenschappelijke wijze te verklaren was een zeer slechte start.

    De Amerikaanse (ook Europese) amateur-Ufologen stelden immers vast dat:

    1°. Er een reeël UFO-fenomeen bestaat, dat waardig is om als onderwerp te

    dienen van een systematische, nauwkeurige studie.

    2°. Aanvaardbare data wijzen op aspekten uit de natuurlijke wereld, die nog

    niet ontdekt werden door de wetenschap. Voorbeelden zijn de bolbliksem en

    plasma’s, die in de 70’ jaren nog sciencefictionleken en nu actueel aanvaard

    worden, ook door de wetenschap.

    3°. De bruikbare opgeslagen gegevens een goede internationale organisatie,

    een methodische aanpak vergen en het opstellen van een uniforme

    terminologie voor de beschrijving en / of de evaluatie van de onderzochte

    UFO-gevallen.

    4°. PROJECT BLUE BOOK en het CONDON-rapport voorbeelden zijn van

    nutteloze inspanningen omdat ze één van de hierboven vermelde

    vaststellingen of alle puntenn verwerpen.

    5°. Verdere research zonder vastgestelde ideologie of vooringenomenheid de

    volgende stap is tot het oplossen van het UFO-raadsel.

    In de U.S.A. bestonden A.P.R.O. en N.I.C.A.P. al als voornaamste  particuliere UFO-organisaties. Desalniettemin besloot Hynek tot het oprichten van het CENTER for UFO-STUDIES voor de UFO-research met een 24 op 24 uur activiteit en met een team, samengesteld met gemotiveerde wetenschapsmensen. Volgens Dr. HYNEK was het grootste probleem van dergelijke privé-initiatieven de financiële fondsen bijeen te krijgen om dergelijke onderzoeksprojekten op te zetten. Toch zette hij door en trachtte hij het onderwerp op wetenschappelijke wijze te bestuderen en met behulp van de modernste hulpmiddelen, zoals computer, databank,... en aanvaardbare en logische verklaring te vinden voor het UFO-probleem. Niettegenstaande het uitblijven van een positief resultaat voor het UFO-raadsel, zette Hynek en zijn echtgenote hun onderzoek gestadig voort tot zijn dood in april 1986. Hij probeerde een wereldwijde vereniging uit te bouwen, met centralisatie van de gegevens bij het Center for UFO-Studies. Hij wist deze doelstelling te realiseren en actueel draagt deze vereniging ook zijn naam als eerbetoon voor het gedane onderzoek.  Zijn schepping van een klassifikatiesysteem, dat door elke UFOLOOG aanvaard wordt, zijn streven naar uniforme vragenlijsten, zijn inzet en zijn idealisme maken hem in mijn ogen één van de grootste pionniers van het adequaat UFO-onderzoek. Ik denk dat niemand onder ons hem ooit vergeten zal...

    Rond dezelfde periode evolueerde ook het MUTUAL UFO-NETWORK (M.U.F.O.N.) tot één van de leidinggevende organisaties. M.U.F.O.N. en C.U.F.O.S werkten samen om waarnemingsrapporten te verzamelen en te analyseren. Door een reeks van meetings (jaarlijkse symposium)  en gepubliceerde gegevens  in hun “proceedings” slaagden M.U.F.O.N. en andere UFO-organisaties, actief in de 70’ en 80’ jaren, erin de kwaliteit van de UFO-rapporten te verbeteren. De kennis over dit onderwerp nam hierdoor gevoelig toe en ze wisten ook de aandacht van een aantal wetenschappers aan te trekken.

    Ze voerden levendige, intellectuele debatten over de degelijkheid van de buitenaardse beschavingshypothesen. Sommige Ufologen brachten nieuwe  theoriën naar voren, zoals de “ultraterrestre binnenaardse of holle aarde-theorie”. Dit is een poging om de problematiek omtrent tijd, ruimte en soms de onzichtbaarheidsfactor op te lossen... Deze “buitengewone” hypothesen mishaagden de geestelijke en intellectuele activiteite van velen in de UFO-gemeenschap, die vonden dat deze ideeên de geloofwaardigheid van de Ufologie deed wankelen. Zij deden hun uiterste best om een sterke greep te krijgen op de aanhoudende groeiende massa gegevens uit de vele rapporten en de wetenschap meer en meer te betrekken met de studie van UFO’s. Dergelijke “gekke” theoriën stootten vele objectieve onderzoekers af, gewoon uit angst om eveneens als “belachelijk” over te komen bij het grote publiek en de media. Vanzelfsprekend speelden deze “ongeloofwaardige” hypothesen in de kaart van de overheid om het UFO-probleem stelselmatig te ridiculiseren. Misschien hadden ze zelfs een aantal inside- handlangers, die dergelijke ideeën naar voren brachten...

    In dezelfde periode droegen M.U.F.O.N, C.U.F.O.S. en het nieuw opgerichte FUND FOR UFO-RESEARCH bij tot een groeiende drang tot samenwerking tussen UFO-onderzoekers door fondsen te voorzien voor specifieke projecten en afzetgebieden te zoeken voor het verspreiden van de  bekomen informatie. UFO-overeenkomsten (consensussen), in plaats van de “clubachtige” kwaliteit van de jaren 50 en de vroegere jaren 60, namen nu de rol over om een forum te bezorgen voor de uitwisseling van gegevens en opbouwende kritiek van onderzoek en analyse. Een spitsvondige verandering van UFO-onderzoek kwam er, toen de Ufologen toenemend gesofistikeerd werkten met computers en dus meer gespecialiseerd werden. Ze brachten de gegevens met elkaar in verband, vormden hun eigen criteria voor kritiek, analysen en discussie losweg van hulp zoeken of rechtmatigheid van “buiten uit”. Vanzelfsprekend maakte het opslaan van de UFO-gegevens in computerdatabanken het eenvoudiger om statistische vergelijking te trekken. Actueel is het zo dat de meeste van de Ufologen over een PC en een internetverbinding beschikken, waardoor de internationale samenwerking, uitwisseling van gegevens  en diverse discussies over specifieke onderwerpen of problemen zeer snel en grenzenloos kunnen plaatsvinden.

    Het was ook in de 70’jaren dat sommige UFO-organisaties een eensgezinde, wettelijke aanval begonne tegen de Amerikaanse overheid om de Ufo-rapporten vrij te geven, die de luchtmacht en andere officiële instanties nog geheim hielden. Hoewel er al Project Blue Book-registraties vrijgegeven waren en in 1975 naar de nationale Archieven gezonden, koesterden deze groeperingen het idee dat er nog meer interessanter materiaal geheim gehouden werd. Door de FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT slaagden  de UFO-organisaties en particuliere onderzoekers erin om honderden, vroeger onbekende dokumenten vrij ter inzage te krijgen. Deze dokumenten lieten toe om de hiaten over onze kennis over de activiteiten van de V.S. overheid over het UFO-probleem in vroegere decennia op te vullen. Zoals je vroeger al kon lezen, verschaften deze dokumenten ons inzicht op de wijze hoe de luchtmacht in realiteit publiek met UFO-onderzoek omging. Actueel kan je via internet de ganse reeks “PROJECT BLUE BOOK”-files (29 CD-roms) aankopen of +/- 30.000 bladzijden downloaden...

    Tijdens de jaren 70’ publiceerde Hynek’s Center or UFO-Studies enkele van zijn beste bewijzen en gegenvens over UFO’s. Hynek’s naarstige uitstraling van publieke verschijning en zijn verleden als wetenschappelijk raadgever van de luchtmacht verleende redelijkheid en prestige aan het UFO-onderwerp. Ook de proceedings van de M.U.FO.N. van hun jaarlijks symposium groeide in kwaliteit volgens de gekozen items en sprekers. Verder speelden de media, zoals Tv en  film meer en meer in op een dankbaar onderwerp als UFO’s. Boeken over UFO’s, die een bestseller werden, raakten ook zeer snel op het witte doek. Wie van ons kent niet het succes van devolgende bioscoopfilm “CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE THIRD KIND”van de filmregisseur Steven SPIELBERG? Dr. Hynek trad als raadgever op om denodige aanwijzingen te geven voor het verfilmen van dit UFO-scenario. Het succes van deze film toonde ook de fascinatie aan van het groot publiek voor bioscoopfilms over UFO’s en E.T.-thema’s. Een reeks van gelijkaardige films volgden snel, zoals E.T. als vriendelijk buitenaards wezentje uitgebeeld; STAR-WARS, een echte klassieke reeks films; V, een Tv-reeks waar buitenaardse wezens de aarde veroveren... Hoedanook de verzamelde waarnemingsrapporten bleven onaangetast door het vrijkomen van deze sciencefictioninformatie.

    Het UFO-verschijnsel kende geen grenzen. Ook Europa, Azië, Zuid-Afrika en Australië kregen met het UFO-fenomeen af te rekenen. In deze landen was het vooral het particulier intiatief dat zich met het onderzoek van de UFO-meldingen bezighield, vaak op amateuristische basis. Zo ontstonden er ook privé UFO-onderzoeksgroepen in deze landen. Ook de toemalige U.S.S.R. en de andere Warchaupactlanden  kenden een intense, ufologische activiteit. Ze werd toegelaten in eerste instantie toegelaten door de autoriteiten, maar niet publiek gericht. Later zou de Sovjetautoriteit  zelfs overgaan tot het verbieden van dergelijke “kapitalistische” propaganda, die louter tot doel hadden de Sovjettechnologie in de ogen van het volk af te breken. Deze beweringen kan je lezen in de verslagen van Dr. Felix ZIEGLER uit MOSKOU. Het zal pas na de val van de Berlijnse Muur zijn dat er meer informatie over het UFO-onderzoek in de U.S.S.R. doorsijpelt naar het Westen.

    Diverse Russische UFO-onderzoekers publiceren hun onderzoeksresultaten in verzamelwerken van Westerse schrijvers. Actueel kan je op de website van de Russische krant, de Engelstalige versie van de PRAVDA, interessante UFO-artikels terugvinden...

    In Frankrijk werd  in 1977 een officiële organisatie “GROUPEMENTd’ETUDE des PHéNOMèNES AéROSPATION NON IDENTIFIéS (G.E.P.A.N.)” in het leven geroepen om met staatssteun van de C.N.E.S. en met de medewerking van de gendarmerie de Franse UFO-meldingen op te slaan en te analyseren. In 1988 werd G.E.P.A.N. vervangen door SERVICE d’EXPERTISE des PHéNOMèNES des RENTRéES ATMOSPHéRIQUES (S.E.P.R.A.). Onder de verschillende initiatieven van zijn directeur Jean-Jacques VELASCO ten voordele van de buitenaardse theorie werd in 2004 de S.E.P.R.A. in 2004 officieel ontbonden. Er bestaat / bestond in Frankrijk geen geheime officiële UFO-studie omdat de regering zich op geen enkele wijze zorgen maakt over het UFO-probleem. Toegeven, men zou kunnen antwoorden dat het bestaan van S.E.P.R.A. (ex-G.E.P.A.N.) aantoont dat de autoriteiten belangstelling voor UFO’s hadden. Wanneer we weten dat S.E.P.R.A. slechts een uiterst klein subonderdeel met een zeer beperkt budget en uiterst begrensde missies is onder het Nationaal Centrum voor Ruimtestudies (C.N.E.S.), zien we dat de staatsautoriteiten niet bezorgd lijken door het UFO-probleem. Kunnen we, als dat zo is, a contrario concluderen dat het Cometa rapport een verdere indicatie is dat echte UFO’s niet bestaan? In 1999 werd ook dit COMETA-rapport gepubliceerd, maar daar komen we later nog op terug. Eind 2005 heeft de C.N.E.S. een studieprogramma voor UFO’s heropend onder de naam G.E.I.P.A.N (Groupe d’Etude et d’Information sur les Phénomènes Aérospatiaux non Identifiés) en zal geleid worden door Yves SILLARD.

    Eerder  verscheen er op 9 april 1976 (artikel in HET LAATSTE NIEUWS) een Frans eindrapport van G.E.P.A.N. dat besloot “ Bestaan UFOs niet bewezen

    Hun besluit :”Vliegen schotels bestaan misschien, maar dat bestaan is niet wetenschappelijk bewezen!” Dat is een besluit van een verslag in verband met het onderzoek naar het UFO-fenomeen, dat verscheen in het officiële tijdschrift van het Franse Ministerie van Defensie “ARMéE d’AUHOURDHUI”. In 20% van de gemelde UFO-gevallen is geen logische, aanvaardbare verklaring mogelijk en blijft het probleem onopgelost. Een dienst van de Generale staf van het Franse leger is sinds1 1961 belast met het verzamelen van allerlei informatie over het UFO-probleem. Het wetenschappelijk onderzoek, dat op basis daarvan verricht  is, heeft geleid tot de veststelling dat het “ bij de huidige stand van zaken en van onze kennis moeilijk is tot een andere conclusie te komen, dan de onmacht van de wetenschap op dit gebied vast te stellen, waarbij men blijk dient te geven van een grote openheid van geest,” aldus het blad. Men dient zich te hoeden voor overhaaste besluitvormingen en toegeven dat het probleem  thans nog onopgelost is . Dat was de stand van het officiël UFO-onderzoek in Frankrijk in 1976...

    In 1950 opende de Canadese overheid al een studie over UFO’s onder de naam PROJET MAGNET onder leiding van de ingenieur  James Wiber  BROCKHOUSE SMITH, die het project zal leiden tot de ontbinding in 1954. Dit projekt zal bijblijven door de verklaringen van zijn directeur, die insloegen als een bom :” Het lijkt er sterk op dat wij te doen hebben met de mogelijkheid van het bestaan van buitenaardse ruimtetuigen, onhankelijk van onze visie op deze zaken

    De voornaamste Nederlandse groeperingen waren het NEDERLANDS ONDERZOEKSBUREAU voor ONBEKENDE VLIEGENDE OBJECTEN (N.O.B.O.V.O.) en het UFOLOGISCH STUDIECENTRUM MIDDEN ZEELAND (U.S.M.Z) en zijn actueel  niet meer actief. België waren het vooral partikulieren die het initiatief tot studie namen en actueel is dit nog altijd zo. In België bestond in de vroegere jaren SOBEPS aan de Franstalige kant met het tijdschrift INFORESPACE, dat later nog vergfijnd zou worden. UFO/INFO van Jaak BONABOT was een eerder gemengd tijdschrift (Fr/NL). Verenigingen zoals SUFO-INFORMIA en OBOS kenden een korte levensduur. Klassiekers in Vlaanderen waren (zijn) U.R.O.S. (UFOs, Ruimtevaart, Oudheidkunde en Sterrenkunde) van Ghislain STRUYS; S.V.L. (Studiegroep van Vreemde Luchtverschijnselen) van Wim van UTRECHT en UFO-BELGIUM (ex-UFO 21) van Marc BROUX. De meeste groepen bestaan nog maar evolueerde naar de uitgifte van rapporten over specifieke waarnemingen.

    De eerste taak van al deze verenigingen was het opslaan van de binnengekomen UFO-meldingen; het nauwkeurig onderzoeken aan de hand van de ingevulde waarnemingsrapporten en het evalueren van het het geheel na een nauwgezette analyse. Het resultaat van dit onderzoek verscheen (verschijnt!) in hun periodieke tijdschriften, die als voornaamste doelstelling hebben informatie te verstrekken aan het grote publiek. Door de uitgifte van hun tijdschrift pogen ze tevens financiële steun te verwerven voor hun UFO-onderzoek, want koken kost geld... In het decennia van de opkomst van de huiscomputers, zal het papieren tijdschrift meer en meer verdrongen worden door de Websites, waarop UFO-info snel terug te vinden en te downloaden is...

    Dus bij het eind van de jaren 70’ was de studie van hey UFO-verschijnsel verreweg meer gesofistikeerd dan het ooit was. Een grote dosis aan kennis werd verworven over de patronen, de gevolgen, de verschijningen en de restanten. Maar de meeste UFO-onderzoekers voelden zich gefrustreerd bij de schijnbare achteruitgang van de publieke belangstelling voor de UFO-problematiek en de grote moeilijkheid om door te dringen tot het mysteriewapen rond het gerapporteerd UFO-gedrag. Een kolossale hoeveelheid aan informatie over het ganse gamma van UFO-meldingen werd gearchiveerd, ingebrepen de nu doodgewoon geworden C.E. III –rapporten (Nabije Ontmoetingen van de Derde Soort met Ufonauten). Onze kennis over de doeleinden en motivaties van het verschijnsel was nog zeer gelimiteerd, zelfs in de best gedokumenteerde gevallen. En niettegenstaande Dr. Hynek en andere Ufologen sterke inspanningen leverden om de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap te overtuigen van de belangrijkheid van het UFO-onderwerp, waren ze niet in staat om met “harde bewijzen”-sussec naar voren te komen. Hun wetenschappelijke houding was nog erger dan ze vroeger geweest was: intrigrerend, maar “onwettelijk”.

    DEEL 10 - NA MEER DAN 60 JAAR UFO-ONDERZOEK NOG STEEDS ANGST OM DE  WAARHEID...

    4.2. De 80’ en 90’ jaren: het einde of het begin.

    a. de 80’ jaren met de opkomst van de ontvoeringsgevallen.

    De tachtiger jaren begonnen overdrachtelijk met de publikatie van “MISSING TIME” van Budd HOPKINS in 1981. De meeste UFO-onderzoekers  dachten nog steeds dat de ontvoeringsgevallen net zo eenvoudig  als een andere waarnemings-categorie konden gebruikt worden om ze algemeen aanvaard te maken. Vele onderzoekers waren héél voorzichtig in het bestuderen van dergelijke gevallen, omdat ze sterk deden denken aan de “contactee”-gevallen van mensen, zoals de Amerikaan ADAMSKI en de Zwitser BILL MEIER. Deze gelijkenis maakte vanzelfsprekend de kans op een wetenschappelijke aanvaarding van deze  gevallen miniem. HOPKINS nam een deel van de ontvoeringsgevallen , die hij persoonlijk onderzocht had; vergeleek ze en toonde hun patronen (modellen), hun overeenkomsten en convergenties (= gelijkenis van verschillende zaken door gelijke omstandigheden, vb. de uitwendige vorm van zeezoogdieren en vissen is een convergentieverschijnsel!) in een samenhangend geheel. Zijn aanhoudende, volhardende onderzoeken leverden een nieuw inzicht op dit verschijnsel. Dit schiep nieuwe vragen om te beantwoorden en deze antwoorden leverden nog meer nieuwe vragen op en zo voort... Plotseling was de UFO-research ondergedompeld in een onbekend gebied van het fenomeen, dat nog nooit tevoren betreden was. Het van nabij bekijken van het ontvoeringsverschijnsel schonk ons het eerste inzicht in de bedoelingen van de intellligentie achter UFO’s. Het was net alsof een deur op een kleine kier geopend werd en dat we in staat waren een kijk te nemen binnen het verschijnsel zelf.

     

    Het meest overnachtelijke UFO-onderzoek was fundamenteel en onherroepelijk omgevormd tot het bestuderen van waarnemingen naar het bestuderen van ervaringen. Niet alleen was de betekenis van de ontvoering duidelijke geworden, maar het aantal ontvoeringsgevallen groeide voortdurend aan, en is dat heden te dagen nog steeds.

    Rond 1985 waren er zoveel van deze rapporten, dat de Ufologen ze niet allemaal konden onderhouden en onderzoeken. De berg aan gegevens, voortgekomen uit deze ontmoetingservaringen was zo groot in kwantiteit en zo rijk aan details dat zelfs de meest cursorische (: doorlopen zonder onderbreking voor uitleg, vb. lezen) kijk aanduidde, dat we uiteindelijk aan het leren waren over de essentie van het UFO-probleem.

    Nochthans verstonden de meeste onderzoekers de verwikkelingen van deze gegevens niet. Het was zeker dat  deze gevallen zouden moeten onderzocht worden op nieuwe “innerlijke” bewijzen, gebruikmakend van nieuwe technieken en met buitengewone voorzichtigheid.

    De dood van Dr. HYNEK in 1986, één jaar voor de publikatie van het monumentaal belangrijk boek van Budd HOPKINS, namelijk “INTRUDERS: THE INCREDIBLE VISITATIONS AT COPLEY WOODS”, kan gezien worden als het einde van een eerste grote fase van uiterlijk UFO-onderzoek. Het boek toonde voor de eerste maal het publiek de omvang van het UFO-verschijnsel en hoe het binnendringt in het persoonlijk leven van de mensen.

    Dr. Hynek was de spilfiguur in de eerste fase van het uiterlijk UFO-onderzoek. Hij probeerde de uiterlijke, onregelmatige kwaliteit van het verschijnsel op te zetten naar de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap en het grote publiek toe. Hij werkte een realistisch klassifikatiesysteem voor waarnemingsrapporten uit en verzon een terminologie om ons toe te laten in een gemeenschappelijke en bruikbare taal over het UFO-probleem te praten. Hij toonde ons wetenschappelijke en systematische methodes om de waarnemingsrapporten te bestuderen. Hij worstelde met het bewijs dat hij ontdekte en wees ons op de nieuwe richtingen door het verworven materiaal te analyseren. Zijn loopbaan overspande bijna 40 jaar de opkomst en geschiedenis van d UFO-polemiek. Hij vocht tegen zijn afbrekers tot een wapenstilstand bereikt werd. Maar, net zoals de meeste van zijn collega’s, richtte hij zijn aandacht op het verschijnsel , zoals het volgens hem overkwam – bewijs van het bestaan.

    Zijn carrière en deze van anderen van zijn generatie was verbonden met het wettelijk maken ( = erkenning) van de studie van het verschijnsel,zodat zuiver gefundeerde research plaats kon vinden, vrij van alle ridiculisering. Hoewel dr. Hynek ook geconfronteerd werd met ontvoeringsgevallen, weten wij niet waarom hij niet bekwaam was om deze te laten erkennen voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Wij gaan ervan uit dat hij dacht dat dit de kansen tot het aanvaarden van het UFO-verschijnsel sterk zou verkleinen. Zijn dood kwam net op het ogenblik dat hij de belangrijkheid van de ontvoeringsgevallen begreep, zodat bijgevolg een volgende fase van het UFO-onderzoek kon beginnen.

    In 1983 kwam het originele en enige naarboven dat verwijst naar een PROJECT SNOWBIRD, toen het “PROJECT AQUARIUS BRIEFING DOCUMENT” getoond werd aan William L. MOORE. MOORE is co-auteur van het boek “THE ROSWELL INCIDENT”. Een insiderbron bij de inlichtingendienst van de V.S. toonde hem dit dokument. Volgens deze informatie was PROJECT SNOWBIRD opgericht in 1972 om een geborgen Aliën ruimtetuig te onderzoeken en te testvliegen.

    Tot vandaag bleven pogingen om deze verklaringen hard te maken via de “Freedom of Information Act” zonder succes. Het bestaan van een ander Project Snowbird werd hoedanook bevestigd... Het was een gezamelijke U.S.A. leger-luchtmacht, gezamelijke militaire oefening, ingesteld in 1955 om troepen te trainen hoe te vechten in de zuidelijke Arctische regio. 

    In 1985 was het UFO-onderzoek in een situatie van grondige verandering. Ontvoeringsonderzoek schonk ons meer informatie over het UFO-fenomeen zelf dan al de opgestapelde informatie van de laatste 40 jaar. Het “begrijpen” van deze informatie kende voor de eerste maal sinds het verschijnsel begon , een intellectuele doorbraak van ondenkbare en onberekenbare belangrijkheid. Nu begonnen we eindelijk vragen te beantwoorden die begonnen met het woord “WAAROM”. Voor de ontvoeringsdoorbraak waren we onbekwaam dit te doen. Toen verwiepen we teveel de E.T. –hypothese, terwijl met deze doorbraak de enige logische verklaring zou moeten (kunnen) zijn.  In 1987 verscheen een eerste opmerkelijk boek van de Britse schrijver en UFO-onderzoek Timothy GOOD “ABOVE TOP SECRET” en de bijkomende vrijgegeven informatie over de “MAJESTIC 12” - dokumenten, gepubliceerd door JUST CAUSE, die de visie op het bezoek van een buitenaardse intelligentie versterkt en de debunkingspolitiek van de Amerikaanse overheid danig verklaart. Vanzelfsprekend voerden de debunkers en de sceptici een felle strijd om de echtheid van de bovenvermelde dokumenten  te bewijzen. Een strijd waar vele woorden en artikels over geschreven werden, onder andere ook door de kernfysicus Dr. Stanton FRIEDMAN en als scepticus-tegenhanger de recent overleden Philip KLASS. Deze welles-nietes polemiek zal wel eeuwig blijven duren, gezien de harde en fanatieke standpunten van de verschillende partijen...

    Niettegenstaande het feit dat de Ufologie leek te tanen, kreeg het door een aantal belangrijke publikaties een belangrijke impuls. “SKY CRASH” van de Britse schrijfster Jenny RANDLES en “UFO’s 1947-1987” van Hilary EVANS en SPENCER schetsten een goed beeld van het Europese UFO-onderzoek. Ook Vlaamse UFO-onderzoeker Wim van UTRECHT van S.V.L. bekrachtigde met zijn rapport “HOOGTEPUNTEN van het RECENTE UFO-ONDERZOEK” het Belgisch UFO-onderzoek en was een pluim voor de Vlaamse Ufologie.

    Sommige collega’s Ufologen begonnen reeds de UFO-geschiedenis te “herschrijven” en te “heronderzoeken” in de kontekst van een UFO-crash met inzittenden in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico. De aandacht gaat vooral naar het eventueel “weten en ontkennen” van de Amerikaanse overheid van deze informatie; het voortdurend aanpassen van hun verklaringen over het “gecrasht object” in 1947, van weerballon tot een spionage MOGUL-ballon.

    b. De jaren 90’, de Belgische Driehoeken en het zoeken naar implantaten.

    1. Inleiding tot de Belgische Driehoeken

    Na jaren van onderzoek, ook de dag van vandaag, besluiten de officiële instanties dat er een probleem bestaat en dat de huidige wetenschap niet bekwaam is om een plausibele, logische verklaring te geven voor het totale UFO-verschijnsel. Anderzijds is dit verschijnsel volgens de officiële bronnen de moeite (financieel!) niet waard van verder onderzoek, daar ze geen gevaar opleveren voor de nationale veiligheid. 

    Volgens mijn persoonlijke mening heeft de economische recessie van de 80’ jaren een belangrijke rol gespeeld, daar op vele budgetten van onderzoek besnoeid diende te worden. Door economische besparingen door te voeren en onmiddellijke research te nemen, draaiden vele onderzoeken op een lager pitje. Ook de particuliere UFO-verenigingen leden onder de economische recessie en ook door het afnemen aan UFO-meldingen en zagen hun aantal leden sterk slinken.

    Maar december 1989 en het voorjaar van 1990 kregen het Belgisch UFO-onderzoek een forse duw in de rug. De waarnemingen van de Belgische Driehoeken met zelfs het uitsturen van F16’s om de gemelde Ufo’s te onderscheppen kregen grote internationale bekendheid en alle aandacht in de grote media. De bijna uitgebluste UFO-verenigingen konden de massa meldingen met moeite aan. Ik moet zeker niet zeggen dat ook het aantal belangstellenden voor UFO’s en het leden aantal onmiddellijk terug een sterke toename kende. Het was vooral de Waalse vereniging S.O.B.E.P.S. die een uitgebreide studie opzette en er zelfs een aantal boeken aan wijdde. Ook een aantal Vlaamse onderzoekers en groepen, waaronder UROS deden uitgebreid onderzocht naar deze meldingen.

    De meldingen van driehoekvormige UFO’s of objecten waren niet uniek, Belgisch verschijnsel. De Belgische gevallen lijken wel een deel te zijn van een serie waarnemingen die zich uitstrekte van Engeland tot aan Rusland vanaf eind 1989 tot in het begin van 1990. Maar wat gebeurder er juist bij ons? Op 29 november 1989 hing er een donker driehoekig object boven een Belgische politieauto in de streek van Duitstalig België, Eupen. Het object maakte een zoemend geluid en er scheen een sterke lichtstraal op. Veel mensen rapporteerden later dat ze dit object ook gezien hadden in die tijd. Het werd waargenomen gedurende de gehele wintertijd en het meest spectaculaire voorval vond plaats op 30 maart 1990. Die nacht zagen duizenden getuigen een laag vliegende driehoekige UFO (of UFO’s) met heldere lichten die in het centrum van het object knipperden. Het object vloog met een snelheid van 50 kilometer per uur en accelereerde daarna naar ongelooflijke snelheden. Getuigen waren onvermurwbaar en bleven er bij dat geen enkel vliegtuig van welke luchtmacht dan ook dit object had kunnen inhalen. En inderdaad, die nacht stuurde de Belgische luchtmacht twee F-16’s de lucht in om juist dat te doen. De driehoeken werden opgevangen op verscheidene NAVO radarstations, de straaljagerpiloten kregen de objecten ook op hun radar en konden ze soms met het blote oog zien. Maar de F-16’s – één van de top onderscheppers ter wereld – werden compleet overtroffen door de driehoekige objecten. Ze konden niet alleen accelereren naar ongelooflijke snelheden of op volle snelheid in een oogwenk tot absolute stilstand komen, maar ook ogenblikkelijk hun hoogte veranderen. Op een bepaald moment bij voorbeeld registreerden de radarinstallaties en zagen verbaasde getuigen dat de driehoek 1400 meter viel in één seconde. Bovendien bewoog het object op een intelligente manier, tenminste volgens de opinie van de chef operaties van de Belgische luchtmacht, kolonel Wilfried de BROUWER, die vaststelde “er zat een logica in de bewegingen van de UFO.” De Britse onderzoeker Nick POPE die kort na deze gebeurtenissen het UFO-bureau voor het Engelse ministerie van defensie zou bemannen, had contacten binnen de Belgische regering welke de conclusie aan het licht brachten “dat een gestructureerd voertuig die nacht boven België had gevlogen.” De Belgische militaire hadden geen idee zeiden ze wat het object was. Deze verklaring heb ik persoonlijk ook gekregen van een zegsman van de luchtmacht tijdens een CONGRES van UFO-BELGIUM in HASSELT in 1990...

    Net als de andere driehoeken die de mensen hadden gezien waren de Belgische objecten echt genoeg. De juiste vraag is; aan wie behoren ze toe? Ons? Aan de Amerikanen? Of toch de buitenaardsen? Dat het in België en de andere landen echt om artificiële, intelligent bestuurde toestellen gaat, daar ben ik 100 % zeker van. Maar daarom hoeven ze niet persé buitenaards te zijn.  In een hoofdstuk in het boek van Timothy GOOD “The UFO-REPORT 1991” behandelde ik de Belgische driehoeken al veel uitgebreider. Ik heb toen al een verklaring gegeven dat dit volgens mijn persoonlijke mening testvluchten waren van het toen nog experimenteel toestel, de STEALTH 117A van de Amerikanen. Het Europese luchtruim met al zijn moderne radar apparatuur is toch het ideaal terrein om dergelijk experimenteel toestel een laatste maal uitvoerig te testen. Een laatste maal testen op zijn zichtbaarheid vooraleer het effectief in te zetten in de golfoorlog, niet...

    De Belgische UFO-onderzoeker Wim van UTRECHT wist op een realistische wijze de foto van Belgische Driehoek op eenvoudige wijze te kopiëren. Wilde  hij gewoon bewijzen dat de meldingen van de driehoeken fake waren? Ik weet het niet, maar dit bewijst volgens mij niet dat het om valse geruchten, misinterpretaties , hallucinaties of hoaxes ging. Ik blijf ervan overtuigd dat de meeste waarnemers een echt driehoekig object waarnamen. Nog een andere Vlaamse onderzoeker Paul Vanbrabant verklaarde dat de driehoeken gewoon één of andere ballonvorm was van een “excentriek uitvindersfiguur”, namelijk Michael KUZMEK... Volgende verklaring komt van Paul Vanbrabant zelf, oordeel zelf maar over de plausibiliteit van deze stelling:

    “Eind jaren tachtig experimenteerde KUZMEK, een Hongaar die in Brussel woonde, met een door hemzelf ontworpen heliumballonnen, die vanop afstand bestuurd werden. Heel wendbaar en in staat om suprsnel van richting en snelheid te veranderen. Ontwikkeld met commerciële bedoelingen in het achterhoofd, want onderaan de ballonnen (de grootste is 10 m in doorsnede) hing een driehiekig platform, waaraan sterke lampen bevestigd konden worden. Die kon Kuzmek desgewenst naar beneden laten schijnen.

    Sommige modellen hadden onder het platform een rechthoekig scherm hangen waarop men allerlei boodschappen kon projecteren – een beetje zoals de moderne variant van de zeppelins dat kunnen. Interessant voor publicitaire doeleinden.

    Kuzmek had ook een geweldige promotiestunt bedacht voor zzijn vinding:”s’nachts  in de Ardennen een beetje gaan vliegen met die dingen, om aldus de aandacht van de pers te trekken.” Alleen liep alles anders dan gepland.”

    Bij deze beweer ik niet dat ik voor 100% zeker ben dat Paul fout zit met zijn verklaring. Ik stel mij enkel de vraag hoe het komt dat wij sinds dien nooit nog iets van deze KUZMEK ballonnen hoorde? Gezien het om publicitaire doeleinden ging, zouden wij toch allang deze ballonnen in actie moeten gezien hebben, niet...

    Nog veel andere onderzoekers schreven het object net zoals ikzelf ook toe aan een geheim Amerikaans project. Officieel echter is er geen type vliegtuig met een precieze driehoekige vorm. De B-2 stealth bommenwerper is een hoekig en vreemd uitziend geval, maar het is geen driehoek noch kan het presteren wat de driehoeken wel kunnen. Er is echter goede reden te geloven dat de Verenigde Staten een driehoek hebben ontworpen. In augustus 1989 was een voormalig lid van het Royal Observer Corps (Koninklijk Waarnemers Korps) werkzaam op een booreiland in de Noordzee, zo’n 100 kilometer uit de kust van NORFOLK. De man, Chris GIBSON, wordt omschreven als één van ’s werelds beste experts in luchtvoertuigherkenning en was deelnemer aan internationale wedstrijden waarbij een langeafstandsfoto van een vliegtuig slechts voor een fractie van een seconde op een scherm was te zien. Ten tijde van zijn waarneming was hij bezig met het schrijven van een ‘vliegtuig herkennings handboek.’ Wat hij die dag zag was een matzwart vliegtuig gevormd als een perfecte gelijkbenige driehoek met een neushoek van 30 graden en het was betrokken bij een bijtankoperatie met een KC-135 tankvliegtuig. Twee F-111 gevechtsvliegtuigen vergezelden de driehoek welke iets groter van maat was dan de escorterende vliegtuigen.

    Luchtvaart auteur Bill SWEETMAN maakte bekend dat “geen enkel vliegtuig behalve een supersonisch voertuig of een testmodel met deze vorm ooit gebouwd of bestudeerd was.” In het algemeen schreven mensen deze waarneming toe aan de vermaarde AURORA, de beweerde opvolger van ’s werelds snelste ‘officiële’ vliegtuig de SR-71 BLACKBIRD. Natuurlijk bestaat de Aurora officieel niet, maar het geruchtencircuit geeft het de dimensies die overeenkomstig lijken met dat wat Gibson zag.

    Echter, gegeven het feit dat de Aurora (of hetzelfde vliegtuig onder een andere naam) bestaat, is het alsnog onwaarschijnlijk dat dit al het toestel was dat laag over België vloog in 1989 – 1990 en het is nog onwaarschijnlijker dat het verantwoordelijk was voor de waarnemingen in de Hudsonvallei. Volgens bepaalde bronnen is de Aurora supersonisch, dat houdt in dat het sneller is dan Mach 5 en er wordt beweerd dat het met een snelheid van Mach 8 vliegt. Maar blijven zweven? Zijn hoogte ogenblikkelijk veranderen? Er zijn geen verklaringen over de Aurora, tenminste niet van luchtvaartjournalisten, dat het ook maar iets kan presteren wat daar op lijkt.

     

    2. De Black Manta, mogelijke oplossing voor de driehoeken?

    Er is een vliegtuig in het land der legenden dat dichter bij de omschrijving komt van sommige van deze waargenomen driehoeken. Het is de TR-3 BLACK MANTA. Nog een vliegtuig dat zogezegd ‘niet bestaat.’ Alles data die nu we weten, is veelal afkomstig uit het geruchtencircuit. Het gerucht gaat dat het toestel de mogelijkheid tbezit om geluidloos stil te hangen in de lucht. Er wordt gezegd dat er twee zeer verschillende versies zijn, de TR-3A en de TR-3B. De eerste wordt verondersteld zo’n 15 meter lang te zijn en 5 meter hoog met een spanwijdte van zo’n 21 meter. De tweede, zo beweert men, zou overdwars een indrukwekkende 200 meter meten. Houdt in gedachten dat niets van dit alles bevestigd kan worden. De meest gedetailleerde informatie die ik kon vinden over deze vage creatie in de lucht is dat onder hen die geloven dat het bestaat, wordt gezegd dat het een tactisch verkenningstoestel is dat voor het eerst operationeel werd in het begin van de jaren 90. Financiering en gebruik er van is voor rekening van het National Reconnaissance Office (N.R.O.) National Security Agency (N.S.A.) en de C.I.A..

    De buitenste coating van de TR-3B reageert vermoedelijk op elektrische radar stimulatie en kan veranderen van reflectievermogen, radarabsorptievermogen en kleur. Het is daarom exceptioneel “stealthy (bijna niet op te merken voor radar en het menselijk oog)”. Meer dan dit echter wordt er beweerd dat het een onbegrensde stilstandtijd heeft op grote hoogtes (meer dan 4000 meter) en de mogelijkheid om met een snelheid van Mach 9 te vliegen. Op geen enkele wijze ben ik een deskundige wat betreft de technologie die hierbij betrokken is. Diegene die zeggen dat ze die kennis wel hebben, vertellen ons dat de TR-3B (het grote toestel) iets bezit dat men noemt een ‘magnetisch veld verstoorder.’ Het is een ronde ring, onder hoge druk staand en gevuld met op kwik gebaseerd plasma die het bemanningscompartiment omgeeft. Het plasma wordt op extreem hoge snelheid gebracht en het resultaat daarvan – zo wordt gezegd – is een verstoring van de zwaartekracht op de massa van wel 89%. Dit is niet precies antizwaartekracht, welke een tegenwerkende kracht nodig heeft, maar met deze opzet is het de bedoeling dat het toestel extreem licht wordt wat vervolgens invloed heeft op de prestaties inclusief de acceleratie in alle richtingen. Dit zijn tenminste de beweringen op de website van Edgar FOUCHE.

    Ondanks dat de site van Fouche voorziet in een excellent overzicht van de Black Manta, is veel informatie afkomstig van anonieme bronnen. Het is natuurlijk altijd mogelijk dat de details fout zijn, maar het grote plaatje fundamenteel betrouwbaar blijft. Terwijl we in gedachten moeten houden dat elke discussie over de Black Manta zeer speculatief is, komen sommige beweringen dicht bij de prestatiekarakteristieken van de driehoekige UFO’s.

    Bestaat het toestel werkelijk? Ik heb geen idee. Ondanks dat een paar luchtvaart journalisten de mogelijkheid erkennen, kan geen van hen het bevestigen en de meeste van hen hebben hun twijfels. Oké, er zijn er ook die zelfs twijfelen aan het bestaan van een vliegtuig zoals de Aurora.

    Wat mij betreft, ik vind het moeilijk om te ontkennen dat de strijdkrachten van de Verenigde Staten een vliegende driehoek bezitten. Als je bekend bent met de geloofsbrieven van Chris GIBSON en als hij zegt dat hij een matzwarte gelijkbenige driehoek bijgetankt zag worden door een KC-135, dan ben ik bereid hem te geloven. Ik ben zeker bereid te aanvaarden dat er waarschijnlijk andere diep geheime vliegtuigen bestaan. De Amerikaanse regering heeft een reputatie wat betreft het vrijgeven van militaire geheime technologie, dat ze dat pas doen wanneer het hen uitkomt en als ze niet meer kan ontkennen... Tegen de tijd dat de U-2 publiekelijk bekend werd gemaakt, was zijn opvolger de SR-71 Blackbird al bijna in dienst.

    We hoorden bijvoorbeeld voor het eerst van het F-117A Stealth gevechtstoestel in 1988 enkel en alleen omdat toen de beslissing was genomen het productieschema te verhogen en dat geheimhouding hierdoor onmogelijk vol was te houden.

    Van één feit ben ik bijna 100% overtuigd en dat is dat het grootste percentage van de waargenomen driehoeken, spitstechnologische experimentele toestellen zijn van de Amerikanen of een andere grootmacht. Vaststaand feit is dat een groot aantal van deze toestellen tijdens hun testvluchten en missies verantwoordelijk zijn / waren voor een groot aandeel UFO-meldingen, ook voor België. Of dit nu de F117A was of een ander futuristisch, experimenteel toestel was, speelt in realiteit weinig rol. Het was iets van “bij ons”...

    Houdt dit dan in dat ik een eventueel buitenaards bezoek of object totaal uitsluit. Neen, in het geheel niet, maar de kans dat een buitenaardse beschaving ons bezoekt, is realistisch en statitisch gezien veel kleiner dan de duizenden meldingen laten uitschijnen. Door de massa “valse” meldingen lopen wij het risico om de “echte UFO’s” uit het oog te verliezen en niet op te merken. De kunst bestaat er in om het kaf van het koren te scheiden... En dat is geen eenvoudige opdracht, maar met open geest onderzoeken impliceert wel dat je als onderzoeker open staat voor ALLE mogelijkheden...

    The Friendship Case ( Il Caso Amicizia ) Full-Length Part 1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKwE5Te2m3w

    English Version (in 5 parts) of an Italian documentary describing the extraordinary Italian case of alien contact with a group of men. It had been kept secret for half a century, but only just recently came to light after the death of one the men involved (Bruno Sammaciccia had asked for it to be kept secret until after his death).

    In Pescara, during the 50s to 70s, a group of extraterrestrials had contacted a number of unsuspecting people directly. This project was called 'Amicizia.' These men would be brought to their (etheric) 'bases' located on earth and apparently on board the UFOs.

    The people involved were of high social and cultural status, among them was the notable Console Alberto Perego. This is a collection of testimonials from them, which also shows excellent quality footage and photography of the phenomena, as well as apparent 'messages' (of love and goodwill) given to us from these beings.

    Bob Who? Uh Huh!

    The Chesapeake Connection: A Conversation with Bob Oechsler.

    We are proud to announce that former NASA mission specialist, Robotics expert, and maverick UFO investigator Bob Oechsler has kindly consented to a series of interviews with us here at the Open Minds Forum.

    Bob's contributions during the early 1990s were unparalleled in many respects, not the least of which was his infamous recorded telephone conversation with former Director of the NSA and Deputy Director CIA, retired Admiral Bobby Ray Inman. It is our belief that much of the work that Bob did at that time remains equally important today .

    In his first interview for over 15 years Bob talks about his interactions with Admiral Inman, his involvement with the Fund for UFO research (FUFOR) and MUFON, his extensive investigation of the Gulf Breeze sightings, and unusual happenings in and around the Chesapeake bay. He also explains the sociological implications of Extraterrestrial interaction, his pioneering work exposing a covert program of social indoctrination, and much more.

    Download and listen to the complete recording of our first conversation with Bob Oechsler here:

    Bob Oechsler Part 1

    (Duration: 02:25:31 Size: 66 MB)

    This first interview barely 'scratched the surface' of the information that we hope to cover with Bob, so look out for Part two: The Cosmic Journey coming in the very near future. In the meantime we invite our readers to join the discussion at:

    Open Minds Forum: Bob Oechsler Discussion Thread

    We are attempting to acquire a digital copy of the complete recorded conversation with Bob Oechsler and Admiral Inman and will hopefully include this alongside our second interview with Bob. For reference purposes and to act as an accompaniment to this interview, we include a transcript below.

    The complete transcript of Bob Oechsler's conversation with Admiral Inman:

    Oechsler: Yes, Thank you very much for returning my call.

    Inman: You're most welcome.

    Oechsler: Do you remember who I am?

    Inman: Unfortunately I do not, I apologize.

    Oechsler: OK, well we met at the University of Science, University of Maryland Science and Technology ...

    Inman: I do pull out, now, thank you.

    Oechsler: I wanted to, for one thing, on behalf of myself I was looking for some guidance that I hoped you might be able to afford me ...

    Inman: OK.

    Oechsler: ... in giving me some kind of direction in how I can assist in this project. I've been spending a great deal of time researching the phenomenon and technologically I think I might have some very interesting things to offer ...

    Inman: Uh huh.

    Oechsler: ... Probably not nearly as much as it was, what you probably already know. But I certainly would like to get some guidance in a number of different areas. It's probably a situation where I would like to at some point get together with you, and get an overview of what direction I might take in which I might be able to help in. On behalf of Admiral Lord Hill-Norton and Mr. Good, the best I can do there is I have no idea what the level of security crossing countries happens to be. And I really don't want to get too much involved in that end of it, I'll leave that to your discretion.

    Inman: What is Peter Hill-Norton doing now?

    Oechsler: What is he doing right now?

    Inman: Yeah.

    Oechsler: As far as I know he is working in the background of things. He has worked extensively with Timothy Good in a publication he has put out, Above Top Secret, which you may or may not be aware of, out by William Morrow out of New York.

    Inman: I am not, aware of it.

    Oechsler: OK, in any case he is working, they are more or less working together, Timothy Good as a consultant. Admiral Lord Hill-Norton is, as the way he's expressed it to me, quite furious with his inability to gain knowledge on the issues.

    Inman: (Muffled acknowledgement)

    Oechsler: And he in fact sent Timothy Good here on a tour hoping to find out more information. There was a conference in Las Vegas at the end of June (and) the first couple days of July, where he had hoped to pick up some contact information. And I had suggested to him that the only individual I knew that possibly would be able to help him, if it was indeed possible to gain any information across country boundaries would be through you. And I suggested that that contact be made.

    Inman: What is the general area of interest?

    Oechsler: Two things, one, it's my feeling from my research that there is a dichotomy of sorts, one in which there seems to be an indoctrination program to educate the public to the realities that are involved here. The other must be a problem relating to security measures and the need to know level. I have the ability to control the influence and understanding and acceptability of a great, great mass of the public. I have a nation-wide radio broadcast, regular radio broadcast on the

    subject matter. I'm well written amongst all of the publications. I am connected with all the major organizations. I've investigated, I spent 18 months investigating, including field investigations involving the Gulf Breeze situation. I know all the internals on that. And I have focused a great deal on the technological end of the technologies, and I've studied a great deal of the things that have been going wrong along in the Chesapeake Bay, in connection with the Electromagnetic Continuity Analysis Center and with the EMP projects.

    Inman: All of those are areas in which I am vastly out of date. When I made the decision to retire seven years ago, I made a conscious decision to sever ongoing ties with the U.S. Intelligence Community. I have had some exposure on limited occassions, to some areas of activity over the succeeding seven years when I did the Embassy Security Survey as a consultant to the Defense Science Board. But overwhelmingly my efforts in these seven years have been focused on industrial competitiveness ...

    Oechsler: Right.

    Inman: ... on the application of science and technology in the commercial world.

    Oechsler: I am aware of that.

    Inman: So for many of the things, at least as I sort of infer from the conversation of the interest of Mr. Good and Peter Hill-Norton, they are areas where while I had some expertise, it's now, you know, seven years old.

    Oechsler: I see.

    Inman: And the pace at which things move in that field, the odds of my being accurate are increasingly remote, in understanding those things.

    Oechsler: Is it your understanding that there is a cultural dialogue going on, (long pause) today?

    Inman: Well I guess I'd have to ask with whom? Between what parties?

    Oechsler: Well, between any of the parties that presumably are behind the technology in the crafts.

    Inman: I honestly don't know. Have no exposure at all. So I haven't a clue whether there are any ongoing dialogues or not. I'm trying to think who there in the Washington area that is at least much closer to the issues, that might be able to at least give you some guidance.

    Oechsler: That's what I am looking for. I'm not looking to step on any toes. I think I have some things to offer and I would like to participate. And to be frank with you, you are essentially the only one I would feel safe in getting guidance from at this point ...

    Inman: Uh huh.

    Oechsler: ... Based on the more I know, ..."

    Inman: Yeah

    Oechsler:... the more concerned I become with how I should handle what I know.

    Inman: The Deputy Director for Science and Technology at CIA is named Everett Hineman. He is in fact getting ready to retire in the very near future. That may make him somewhatmore willing to have dialogues than he otherwise would have had. When I knew him in the period seven to ten years ago, he was a person of very substantial integrity and just good common sense. So as a place to start he would clearly be high on the list. In the retired community of those who nonetheless were exposed to the intelligence business and stayed reasonably close to it, there is a retired Rear Admiral, a former director of Naval Intelligence, named Sumner Shapiro, who has been a Vice President of BDM. I think he just retired.

    Oechsler: VDM?

    Inman: BDM. It's a corporation there in the McLean area. His level of competence again is very high, his integrity is very high. Whether he has any knowledge in the areas you are working on I don't have a clue, because I don't have any ongoing dialogue with him. But those are at least two thoughts for you that are there in the area where you are located. And who have a prospect of still having some currency. I don't know that they do. In my case I don't have any.

    Oechsler: Do you anticipate that any of the recovered vehicles would ever become available for technological research? Outside of the military circles.

    Inman: Again, I honestly don't know. Ten years ago the answer would have been no. Whether as time has evolved they are beginning to become more open on it there's a possibility. Again, Mr. Hineman probably would be the best person to put that kind of question to.

    Oechsler: OK.

    Inman: Well good luck to you.

    Oechsler: OK, and also Louis Cabot has become quite interested in ...

    Inman: Good.

    Oechsler:... some of my findings, so you may hear from him.

    Inman: OK, he's a good man.

    Oechsler: OK.

    Inman: Thank you.

    Oechsler: Very good, thank you for calling.

    Inman: Bye.

    Oechsler: Bye-bye.

    Stuart Miller dies


    UFO UpDates is reporting that Stuart Miller (noted and sometimes mischievous ufologist) was killed in a motorcycle accident last May.

    Stuart had some fun with me, but did a nice profile in his Alien Worlds magazine a few years ago.

    While he was interviewing me by phone, I told him something, off-the-record, and he went to the trouble of turning off his tape recorder, resuming when my off-the-record remarks we're over.

    I liked Stuart. He left us too soon. He was 58.

    He was already missed, having dropped out of the UFO circuit when his magazine folded.

    Belated condolences to his family.

    May he rest in peace.

    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

    July 13, 2011

    "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 enemy’s 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 Satan’s 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.

    In Special Reports, this week's files cover: DARPA Falcon Hypersonic Aircraft Is Missing, DARPA Hale D High Altitude Airship Anomaly Causes Crash, UK Ministry of Defence files on UFO sightings released, Mars has Water "The Hidden Truth, and Hitler's Stealth Bomber.

    Unidentified Aerial 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.

    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 Mindy's' visit to East Dulwich....

    Mars Water "The Hidden Truth"

    J. P. Skipper writes, "I suspect you'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."

    http://www.marsanomalyresearch.com/general-directories/book-1/ad-doc.htm

    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.

    Thanks to J. P. Skipper

    DARPA Falcon Hypersonic Aircraft Is Missing

    Falcon Hypersonic HTV-2 Gliding

    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 is 900kg, 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 www.examiner.com and Fletcher Gray

    DARPA Hale D High Altitude Airship Anomaly Causes 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 and is 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.

    cid:04B99E4927A849CF90F4B992070C861D@ownerpc

    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.

    cid:7237E1B7E8C341B7AE2094258601C809@ownerpc 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.

    cid:3E046F4A77394922B51A479B578CC12C@ownerpc 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.

    cid:4CF9DD12748C4CBD99E7B5D95E96C26D@ownerpc 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

    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. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

    Colorado Disc

    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

    Florida Boomerang-shaped UFO

    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." Thanks to MUFON CMS

    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

    Indiana 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. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Massachusetts Large 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 to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

    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. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    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 Thanks to MUFON CMS

    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 MUFON CMS

    ColoradoMutilation.jpg 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.

    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 Ken Pfeifer MUFON New Jersey www.worldufophotos.org

    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.

    Tennessee Cylinder and Very Low Object W/ Lights

    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 UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

    Washington Triple Lights

    Kennewick -- At around 8:57 PM, on August 6, 2011, I went outside to water some plants and as I looked to see three bright orange lights in a triangle shape. The lights moved silently towards the Blue Ridge Mountains in a slow motion. They disappeared in a fading type of way like when fire turns off.

    Worldwide Sightings

    Australia Huge Star

    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 Time

    Canada Moon Size Light

    Kannata Valley, SKATCHEWAN -- A yellow/red glowing light like a candle was seen travelling north over the Kannata Valley, at 10:10 PM, on July 31, 2011. It just travelled NNW in a straight line.

    I saw a similar light a few months back, but it was a soft glowing yellow/orange colour about the size of the moon travelling in the same direction. I reported it to Air Traffic Control at the Regina Airport, but got no response. Sighting report via UFOINFO

    Denmark Photo

    Skovshoved -- I am trying to report a phenomena recorded on a picture taken in February 20, 2011. The picture was taken at 15 kilometers north of the center of Copenhagen, over the straight of Oresund, facing Sweden.
    It was taken at 4:24 PM local time. Please note the apparent flash in the sky in the upper right part of the picture. Thanks to Peter Johansen, Copenhagen Denmark

    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

    UK/England Star like object

    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.

    Bob Girard of Arcturus Books Has Died


    Photo Credit.

    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 he’d sell books of mine direct from the publishers. He wasn’t 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 make–the 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 doesn’t seem to be any realistic answer to it. The left leg has to be watched closely for worsening, while improvement just doesn’t seem possible because of the lack of circulation. Meantime it hurts like hell.

    So there are orders piling up here–and 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 sides–buyers and seller–failed 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? You’d better get every dollar you can in here right now, and gorge your library with whatever isn’t nailed down here. You already know you’re never getting MY books–but there are still plenty around here that you can have. Meantime I’ll 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 I’m 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 didn’t 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,

    You’ve 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 I’m terminal with prostate cancer. I don’t 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 can’t imagine having much more. I don’t 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 Arcturus’s behalf in a shambles. It seems so precarious to me that it’s all probably better if just left to us and to fate. I don’t intend to make any major investments in Arcturus from here on. I’ll just try to strip it as much as I can, and close it when I feel I can’t 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

    That’s 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 Bob’s family, and especially to Monica who was Bob’s and Arcturus’ partner for the last 24 years.

    Jacques Vallee UFO interview jinn
    Conspire.com

    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.


    --------------------------------------------------

    PART 2

    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.
