In Special Reports, this week's files cover: NASA Frets Aliens Could
Attack Earth to End Global Warming, India's Moon Mineral Mapper Finds Water,
Mars Endeavor Crater, Mars Cavern What Lies Beneath, Hacker Uncovered US
Off-Planet Space Navy, Aviation Week's Space planes and Blackstar, Black Budget

UnidentifiedAerial Phenomena sightings were
reported over Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. Sightings of
UFOs were also reported in Brazil, Canada, China, Northern Ireland and
England in the United Kingdom.
The purpose of these files is to
report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis
around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial
intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand
UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft
conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when
London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US
Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more
than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of
the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in
ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports
NASA Frets Aliens Could Attack Earth to End Global Warming
UNIVERSITY PARK, Penn. --
News Core reports, "A team of American researchers have produced a range of
scenarios in which aliens could attack the earth, and curiously, one revolves
around climate change.
They speculate that extraterrestrial
environmentalists could be so appalled by our planet-polluting ways that they
view us as a threat to the intergalactic ecosystem and decide to destroy
us.
The thought-provoking scenario is one of many
envisaged in a joint study by Penn State and the NASAPlanetary
ScienceDivision, entitled "Would
Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefitor Harm Humanity? A Scenario Analysis."
It divides projected close encounters into
"neutral," those that cause mankind "unintentional harm" and, more worryingly,
those in which aliens do us "intentional harm."
Extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) "could attack
and kill us, enslave us, or potentially even eat us. ETI could attack us out of
selfishness or out of a more altruistic desire to protect the galaxy from us. We
might be a threat to the galaxy just as we are a threat to our home planet," it
warns.
One such scenario is the stuff of many a Hollywoodblockbuster, a "standard fight-to-win conflict: a war
of the worlds." But another might resonate more with fans of Al Gore's documentaryfilm "An Inconvenient truth."It
speculates that aliens, worried we might inflict the damage done to our own
planet on others, might "seek to preemptively destroy our civilization in order
to protect other civilizations from us."
"Humanity may just now be entering the period in
which its rapid civilizational expansion could be detected by an ETI because our
expansion is changing the composition of Earth's atmosphere which therefore
changes the spectral signature of Earth," the study says.
"While it is difficult to estimate the likelihood
of this scenario, it should at a minimum give us pause as we evaluate our
expansive tendencies."
Orb flap over multiple regions of US/world this
week
Orbs have been captured with film and video over many regions of the US this
week and reported on by local mainstream news media as "serious" news. Could it
be that mainstream news media is finally getting past the "snicker factor" when
it comes to UFO activity? Let's hope so.
I'm sad to report that Budd Hopkins, the internationally
renowned abduction researcher and artist, passed away. UFOlogy lost a giant in
the abduction field. He died Sunday, August 21, at 1:35 p.m. Budd died from a
combination of liver cancer and pneumonia.
I had been to his home several times and he always treated me with respect
and friendliness. He showed me hundreds of letters from abductees. He was an
extraordinary man, who researched a difficult field. He will be greatly
missed.
India's Moon Mineral Mapper
This image of the moon is from NASA's Moon Mineralogy
Mapper on the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 mission. It is
a three-color composite of reflected near-infrared radiation from the sun, and
illustrates the extent to which different materials are mapped across the side
of the moon that faces Earth.
Small amounts of water and hydroxyl (blue)
were detected on the surface of the moon at high latitudes toward the poles.
Blue shows the signature of water and hydroxyl molecules as seen by a highly
diagnostic absorption of infrared light with a wavelength of three micrometers.
Green shows the brightness of the surface as measured by reflected infrared
radiation from the sun with a wavelength of 2.4 micrometers and red shows an
iron-bearing mineral called pyroxene, detected by absorption of 2.0-micrometer
infrared light. "Scientists claimed the moon was dry but three papers now
challenge that notion: Infrared spectroscopic measurements of the lunar surface
from spacecraft provide unambiguous evidence for the presence of hydroxyl (OH)
or water." Thanks to NASA/JPL Moon Mineralogy Mapper in Science
Magazine.
Mars Endeavor Crater
It took Mars Exploration
Rover Opportunity three years to get there, but it recently made it to the edge
of Endeavor Crater, a 14-mile wide crater that has shown evidence of holding
life-sustaining water in the past.
The 13-mile journey was a painstaking process
for the rover, which first landed on the Red Planet back in 2004 and has been
gathering data about the makeup of the land and its topography in the time since
its arrival. The decision to send the rover to Endeavor was made after the Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter detected clay minerals in the vicinity of the crater an
indication that the area was once a much warmer, wetter environment that
would've been more able to sustain life.
"Our arrival at this destination is
a reminder that these rovers have continued far beyond the original three-month
mission, said John Callas, Mars Exploration Rover project manager
at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.Photo of Endeavor Crater courtesy ofNASA
Mars CavernWhat Lies Beneath
Mars
Earlier this year a crater was spotted by the
HiRise camera with a dark spot at its center. When the team took a closer look
with the high-resolution camera they saw that the spot is actually a 35-meter
(115-foot) -wide skylight that opens into an underground cavern. The cavern is
most likely a section of an empty lava tube, leftovers from ancient Martian
volcanic activity.
Based on the shadows it's estimated that the pit
is about 20 meters (65 feet) deep. Image credit: NASA / JPL / University of

Hacker Uncovered US Off-Planet Space Navy
Gary McKinnon, the English hacker facing 70 years in U.S.
prison for searching Pentagon sites for UFO evidence, says the weirdest thing he
found was a list of "Non-Terrestrial Officers" and fleet transfers
between ships that don't exist in the U.S. Navy. -
In the House of Commons debates July 13, 2011 David Burrowes
(Enfield, Conservative) asks, "Can I raise with the Prime Minister a
different case of hacking--the computer hacker Gary McKinnon? While I recognize
that the Home Secretary has a legal process to follow, does the Prime Minister
share the concern for my constituent's nine-year nightmare? He feels that his
life is literally hanging by a thread that is waiting to be cut by
extradition.
Prime Minister David Cameron
replies, "I do recognize the seriousness of this case, and the
Deputy Prime Minister and I actually raised it with President Obama when he
visited. I think the point is that it is not so much about the alleged offence,
which everyone knows is a very serious offense, and we can understand why the
Americans feel so strongly about it. The case is now in front of my right hon.
Friend the Home Secretary, who has to consider reports about Gary McKinnon's
health and well-being. It is right that she does that in a proper and
effectively--I am sorry to use the word again today--quasi-judicial
way.
Note - If Mr. McKinnon's data is correct, it validates the assumption the US
Navy may well be operating off-planet via back-engineered ET technology. His
data indicates the Navy and probably the Air Force operate a fleet of space
craft and officers to either man them or otherwise control them. Gary McKinnon
states, "I found a list of fleet-to-fleet transfers, and a list of
ship names. I looked them up. They weren't U.S. Navy ships. What I saw made me
believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet The US Navy
Clementine mission project mapped the entire
Moon.
In his interview with the BBC, Gary claimed, "The Disclosure
Project" had some very credible people all saying there is UFO technology,
there's anti-gravity, there's free energy, and it's extraterrestrial in origin
and they've captured spacecraft and reverse engineered it." He
said, he investigated a NASA photographic expert's claim that at the Johnson
Space Center's Building 8, images were regularly cleaned of evidence of UFO
craft, and confirmed this, comparing the raw originals with the "processed"
images.
He claimed to have viewed a detailed image of "something not
man-made and cigar shaped floating above the northern hemisphere.
McKinnon stated the image was approximately 256 megabytes in size, yet that the
craft's details were still distinct in 4-bit color and low resolution on his
mere 56k modem connection http://www.sploid.com/news/2005/07/hacker_uncovere.php
Aviation Week's Space planes
Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine has
investigated myriad sightings of a two-stage-to-orbit system that could place a
small military space plane in orbit during the 1990s. After the shuttle
Challenger disaster in January 1986, and a subsequent string of
expendable-booster failures, the military needed a quick method to get
satellites into space to keep tabs on its Cold War adversaries.
It appears the "Blackstar" system may have replaced the shelved U.S. SR-71
reconnaissance aircraft. It was composed of a large "Mothership," closely
resembling the Air Force's historic XB-70 supersonic bomber (shown above) with
the orbital component under its fuselage, accelerating to supersonic speeds at
high altitude before dropping the space plane. The orbiter's engines fire and
boost the vehicle into space.
The National Aero-Space Plane was under development during the Carter
Administration that could reach orbit but was allegedly cancelled but might have
been updated to replace the Shuttle. Small maneuverable space craft could be
launched from a Mothership and conduct key reconnaissance.
The space plane could deliver microsatellites to low Earth orbit or, perhaps,
be fitted with no-warhead hypervelocity weapons--what military visionaries have
called "rods from god." Launched from the fringes of
space, these high-Mach weapons could destroy deeply buried bunkers and weapons
facilities.
"In 1986, Boeing filed a U.S. patent application for an
advanced two-stage space transportation system. Patent No. 4,802,639, was
awarded on Feb. 7, 1989, details how a small orbiter could be air-dropped from
the belly of a large delta-winged carrier at Mach 3.3 and 103,800-ft. altitude.
Tons of material--including long-lead structural items--for a third XB-70
Valkyrie had been stored in California warehouses years before, and a wealth of
data from the X-20 DynaSoar military space plane program (shown) was readily
available for application to a modern orbiter. "The DynaSoar program
in November 1959 was the first effort to use a manned boost-glider to fly in
near-orbital space and return. The B-70 was to carry the 10,000-lb. DynaSoar
glider and a 40,000-lb. liquid rocket booster to 70,000 feet and release them
while traveling at Mach 3. With this lofty start, the booster could then push
the glider into its final 300-mile orbit."
On October 4, 1998, an XB-70-like carrier aircraft
was spotted flying over Salt Lake City at about 2:35 PM, by James Petty, the
president of JP Rocket Engine Co. He saw a small highly swept-winged vehicle
nestled under the belly of the XB-70-like aircraft climbing slowly on a
west-southwest heading. The sky was clear enough to see both vehicles' leading
edges, which Petty described as a dark gray or black. Thanks to Aviation
Week.
Blackstar Is a Secret Military Piloted Space plane
Does, or did, a secret piloted military space plane,
called the Blackstar, fly into suborbital and orbital space since the early
1990s? That's the highly intriguing and provocative big question raised in an
amazing cover feature article in the prestigious "Aviation Week & Space
Technology."
It is quite likely the U.S. Space Command operates a
military space plane for orbital missions with an elite corps of astronauts. The
significant, ground-breaking investigative news report, with 18 years of
Aviation Week research to back it up, strongly suggests that the "black budget
project" program was developed on the "fast-track" in the 1980s after the
catastrophic loss of the space shuttle Challenger in January 1986 to give the
military regular operational piloted reconnaissance access into suborbital and
orbital space. The orbital spacecraft, shown is an artistic rendering of a
likely Blackstar follow on craft. The space plane, first known as the XOV
(experimental orbital vehicle) was apparently flight tested and likely became
covertly operational in the early 1990s. This two-vehicle "Blackstar"
carrier/orbiter system was allegedly cancelled in 2006, and an advanced Shuttle
follow on like craft is now in orbit.
Once a Blackstar orbiter reenters the atmosphere, it can land horizontally at
almost any location having a sufficiently long runway. So far, observed space
plane landings have been reported at Hurlburt AFB, Fla.; Kadena AB, Okinawa; and
Holloman AFB, N.M.
These craft are often reported as UFOs. Boeing Aerospace and Lockheed were
the apparent contractors in 1990-91, and helped make the space plane operational
under the U.S. Space Command in Colorado. A former program manager of a major
aerospace company once declared, 'There is no question. Lockheed is
flying a two-stage space vehicle.'" Ben Rich the director of the
famous Lockheed Skunkworks, claimed we are thirty years in advance of science
and can fly to the stars.
This specific stealth space program has been
suspected, as noted, since 1992 when MUFON witnesses noted unusual high altitude
aircraft speeding supersonically across the skies with large puffs of
donut-shaped smoke over the southwestern U.S. The news media also picked up the
reports and called them, "Aurora."
Black Budget $50 Billion in
2010
The Fiscal Year 2010 budget is gigantic. Spending on classified programs and
activities is listed by a category such as 0207248F Special Evaluation Program.
These long-running budget lines, with their ever-changing names, have
disappeared. In the R-1
(research and development), P-1
(procurement) and O-1
(operations) budgets for 2010, just over $50 billion is listed for classified
programs, the largest-ever sum. The Pentagon's "black" operations, including the
intelligence budgets nested inside it, are roughly equal in magnitude to the
entire defense budgets of the UK, France or Japan.
Highlights include the US Air Force's classified research
and development budget. Earlier estimates suggested that secret projects
accounted for 36 per cent of USAF Rand D spending, but the FY2010 budget shows
that even this startling number is on the low side. The USAF plans to spend
almost $12 billion on secret programs in 2010 - more than three Joint Strike
Fighter F-35 development efforts - or just about 43 per cent of its R&D.
Black-world other procurement section just above $16 billion, that's 240 per
cent more than it was ten years ago. On the operations side, secret spending has
risen 8 per cent over last year, to just over $15 billion - equivalent to more
than a third of Air Force operating costs. What does it all go for? If Gary
McKinnon is right, US space planes are still in orbit despite the shuttle being
cancelled.
New Crop circle near Stonehenge
On July 14,
2011, a new 200 foot crop circle few hundred yards from Stonehenge built in the
shape of a typical disc.
Lucy Pringle reports "A crop circle near Stonehenge in 2009 was especially
important for several reasons. A pilot flying a light aircraft from Exeter to
Thruxton flew over the field opposite Stonehenge at on the afternoon of Sunday 7
July 2009, with a passenger taking photographs, at which time the field opposite
on the A303 was unmarked. The pilot disembarked at Thruxton, completed the
necessary landing and flight forms, refueled and then got back into the same
plane to fly back to Exeter. Imagine his surprise on when flying over the same
field opposite Stonehenge some 40 - 50 minutes later, at 6:15 PM, he observed an
enormous formation measuring 915.2 X 508 feet imprinted in the wheat below.
A gamekeeper and a guard at Stonehenge both confirmed that
it had not been there that morning. The formation was named the `Julia Set` as
it represented a complex computer generated fractal image to the mathematicians;
to musicians, a base clef, and to marine biologists the cross section of a
nautilus. "This report has remained one of the most important in the history of
the crop circle phenomenon as rarely do crop circles appear during day light
hours." http://www.lucypringle.co.uk/news/stonehenge-julia-set-eyewitness.shtml
Palestinian Islamic Refugees Coming to the
US
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of
$20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and
"conflict victims" in Gaza. The "presidential determination" which allows
hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the
United States, was signed and appears in the Federal Register.
The order provides a free ticket replete with housing, transportation and
food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to
the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January
2006.
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) - Hundreds of Libyan rebels blasted through the gates of
Moammar Gadhafi's compound in Tripoli Tuesday after five hours of intense
fighting around it. They killed some of those who defended it, fired celebratory
shots in the air and hauled off crates of weapons and trucks with guns mounted
on the back.
The storming of the sprawling compound in the capital, long
the key of Gadhafi's power marked the effective collapse of his 42-year-old
regime, even though pockets of resistance are likely to persist around the
country for some time. Gadhafi has disappeared and is likely in hiding.
East Coast Hit by 5.8 Earthquake
An earthquake centered in Mineral, Virginia shook the whole East Coast as far
west as Chicago on August 23, 2011. My house shook and I held on to the TV
hoping it would not fall off the table.

UFO Sightings in the United
States
Arizona Multiple Lights
Chandler -- The witness sent video footage of lights in a
strange pattern that were disappearing and reappearing on August 13, 2011, from
8:30 to 8:45 PM. Ten lights were present at one point and then gradually
diminished as the video progressed.
Note: It is doubtful these are Chinese Lanterns because the
lights appeared to blink on and off and revealed different patterns. This is
strange behavior. Also a similar sighting occurred in Aloha, Oregon at about the
same time travelling south to north. The moon was visible in the footage. The
moon was located to the southeast at the time of the footage. There were some
scattered clouds at 10,000 feet. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs
Northwest http://ufosnw.com
California Triangles
DISCOVERY BAY -- On August 20, 2011, Two
sets of 3 triangle lights of a halogen blue-white color that trailed each other
turning in an arcing motion then separated, one disappeared then the other
disappeared. They were at about the height at which a large airplane flies.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Bear Mountain -- I saw a bright pulsating yellow/white
object hovering over Bear Mountain from Palm Springs at 5:00 am on August 22,
2011.this morning. It slowly descended from the top of the mountain, and I
observed it descent from 10,500 feet to about 4000 ft in less then 10 seconds. I
kept wanting to rationalize this thinking that this was some sort of plane crash
- but there was no explosion. I did not see anything on the news about this. I
cannot be the only person who saw this. Thanks to MUFON CMS and Randal
Ollinger
Colorado Red Light
ARVADA -- This picture is the second sighting of a UFO on
July 21, 2011 , at 2 AM. My son alerted us to the object first, which
four of us in the family saw quite close. The house guest said, "The
thing sounded like a high pitched ring. This picture was taken a
week later with my son's DROID phone at 2 AM. The first sighting was at 11:40 PM
on July 14, 2011. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com
Florida Light
CAPE CANAVERAL -- While waiting in line to
enter the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral with my family, I decided to
take photos. I saw the astronaut atop the entrance and decided that it would
make a great shot at 11:30 AM, on July 2, 2011. It was several days before I
downloaded the photos to my computer and saw the glowing dot. I have never seen
an airplane that high glow with such brilliance. I have no idea if I took
something interesting. Thanks to MUFON CMS Note: It may be a star.
Georgia Lights in Flight
Atlanta -- Flying on the plane on August
18, 2011, I started seeing three to four red lights showing than disappearing in
the clouds, yet we are 38-40 thousand feet in the air. I take out my camera and
start shooting and the lights go up and down and a bunch of red lights turned
white trailing the plane. Not shown in previous or later shots. I actually
didn't see the big pink one, but its hovering over the plane, saw it when i
looked at my pictures. My flight left from LaGuardia at 5:59 pm and flew to
Atlanta, and landed at 8:07 pm. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Maneuvering Orb
MARIAN -- I was on the back deck at my
home with my fianc, we were just outside smoking a cigarette. I looked past the
tree line and said that it looked like someone lit a balloon on fire. As it got
closer I couldn't identify it so I went ahead and used my smart phone to film
it. We watched it over and over until we decided to see what others thought.
Surprisingly within 24 hours it had been spread all over the internet. I
contacted WSIL Channel 3 that night. They called the next morning wanting to see
the video, so I sent it to them. I haven't heard back from them. All the video
of those Chinese lanterns that I have researched all seem to go straight up...
this is steady and slow. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Maneuvering Orb
St. Charles County -- On August 17, 2011, the UFO in the
video does something spectacular on the third day of watching. It divides itself
into two orbs, and at one point three. Forward to the 9:30 mark on the video if
you do not want to watch the full video of the orb Thanks to MUFON CMS
Massachusetts Cigar
Acton -- I was traveling west bound on
Route 2 at the Acton Littleton line about 2 PM, on July 31, 2011. As I came
around the curve, I saw a reflective black tube shaped object traveling east. I
believe it was about 30 feet long and 6 feet in diameter and tumbling end over
end. As I drove under the 250 feet high descending object I remembered I had my
35 mm Pentax k1000 with 35-80 zoom at infinity focus. The object was now at an
altitude of 1200 feet traveling east. I realized the object was traveling too
fast to catch up to on the highway so I continued to my destination and mailed
the film for development. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Missouri Lights
On August 18, 2011, I was driving back from McDonalds on Old Highway 94 and I
noticed some lights just above Walgreens. There were many other cars, but none
noticed or just didn't care. They were a yellow-orange in color and they did not
pulse or flash. The reason I recorded, or tried to, was because I could not see
any shape and they all moved freely from each other. I followed them for a
minute (approx.) and pulled over at the street near the post office. By the time
I pulled over it appeared that they went straight up (not abruptly) and
disappeared. I then went to the KFC parking lot and called a couple of friends
and reviewed my video. It's a really bad video!
Montana Lights
Anaconda -- The witness was star gazing and noticed a very large light
in the sky about the size of a pencil eraser held at arm's length on August 17,
2011, between 9:30 and 9:45 PM. The light then began to slowly move, sped up and
streaked away to the northeast. Skies were clear at the time of the sighting.
The witness's husband also saw the light. Listen
to Clip of Interview With One of Witnesses(MP3)
Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs northwest http://ufosnw.com
New Jersey Hovering Triangles
South Orange -- I saw a hovering triangle on August 20, 2011, at 1:20 AM,
that appeared to be an aircraft but did not resemble a commercial airplane. It
was hovering 100 feet above a house while we drove by, and emitted a beam of
light from the engine and had red and blue lights on the wings. When we pulled
onto a side street to photograph it, it had vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Montclair -- I talked to Mike Finneran who spent a
thirty-year career working for Air traffic control and 47 years as pilot in the
New York area. Mike says, "My wife and I were driving home about
1:30 AM, four miles east of Montclair in the late summer of 1997, and saw a huge
triangle directly above us hovering at about 3500 feet.I stopped the car and both of us got out and watched this huge craft
hovering ten miles from New York City between the standard ILS approaches to
Newark and Teterboro Airport. The position the craft was sitting is the only
location that was safe for the heavy commercial traffic flying into these
airports. We could also see three aircraft about three
miles in trail of each other on final approach for Runway 22 at Newark Airport
not far from the huge black triangle. The pilots must have seen this enormous
triangular shaped craft pointed toward New York City. The object was completely
without noise. I never saw anything like it but no one at work acknowledged I,
but I know what we saw. Thanks to Mike Finneran
New York Triangular Craft Spotted
Owego -- My wife and I spotted a triangle hovering
over the Lockheed Martin site on Route 17c on August 2, 2011, at 9:25 PM. The
whole bottom lit up as the craft hovered and then took off. Funny part is it
didn't show up on cell phone camera when I tried to take a picture of it. It had
three white lights with one on each corner, and a solid red light in center of
bottom.
After hovering silently it moved slowly toward Hickory Park in Owego, and
then took off very fast moving south with the entire bottom lit up in white
light. It was flying high up, and I could see it was triangle shape due to the
light pattern that gave dimension, with 500 foot between the lights. It was much
closer than the 747's that fly in the area, and I could see more detail on it
than the planes that fly around here. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director

THOMASVILLE -- I have many parrots that I take outside throughout the day and
so my eyes are always on the sky looking for predators in efforts to keep my
parrots safe. On August 17, 2011, I saw a bright star move toward the center of
the sky that blended with the stars. It gained speed and left the atmosphere;
and faded off into the distance, though the distance was the center of the sky
and the light got dimmer. I videoed the first sighting and the camera only
recorded blackness. I called my mother to tell her, as I did I saw a second one
of same height in a separate part of the sky and it did the same thing in a
completely different part of the sky at different angle. I'm reporting this
being that I'm thinking that UFO's are real now, after this the 3rd sighting. I
do have video of the first one I saw in High Point. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oklahoma Huge Triangle
Slaughterville -- I was driving southbound on 84th Street when I
observed to the west one large white spotlight with a blue light circling it and
two smaller white objects off to either side. Above the white light was a red
light that pulsated. When this red light pulsated it lit up the top of the craft
and I could see that it was a gun metal gray triangular shaped craft. I could
tell that the white light, the blue light and the red light above were located
in the center of the craft. The two smaller white lights were at the corners of
the craft. I stopped a short distance down the road where there was an opening
in the trees. It appeared that the craft was hovering over a farm house. While
stopped I was able to take one photograph of the object. Thanks to MUFON

PITTSBURG -- I was putting my motorcycle away last night at
9:45 PM, on August 19, 2011, when I saw a bright green light overhead that was
on the bottom of a disc. It 40 feet in diameter and about 500 feet up moving
silently northeast against the prevailing wind. The whole incident lasted only
about 20 seconds. This is not the only time that this has happened to me. I
witnessed the same light several years ago with my wife in this same location.

Texas Rectangular Metallic Shape
I stepped outside of work at 2 PM, on August 17, 2011, and looked towards the
horizon and saw a rectangular metallic shape rotating end over end in the
eastern sky. I watched it move from the horizon line up into the sky. I went
inside and called my co-workers and bosses to come see it. When we went
outside it had moved farther into the sky, but you could still make out the
shape and that it was rotating. Six people, including myself, watched it move
farther away towards the upper atmosphere in a northwardly direction for eight
minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Orb
KENT -- On August 17, 2011, on 12:34 AM, I saw a white airborne light
floating around in a similar way a sperm cell does under a microscope. The
pictures made it look diamond like and blue.
I suspect it may be a disc. It is frequently seen
in our skies and often zips around. Something strange is going on and I want
answers. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Brazil Large UFO
SAO PAULO -- Residents reported seeing an UFO from
Saturday July 23 to 24, 2011, Sunday morning in Embu "The witness said,
"I saw a disc-shaped object with several lights flashing, revolving
around its axis. With lights through yellow and a blue light flashing in the
center very strongly," said Cringer Prota on Sunday by telephone
to the G1.
"I do not know what it was, but it was not a balloon.
According to witnesses, he and 30 other people saw the alleged UFO
near a cemetery in the Santa Teresa neighborhood in Embu."I filmed,
and other people filmed. It was quite large, the size of a Boeing plane. What
struck me is that it was static." Thanks to www.ufocasebook.com

Canada Multiple Ufo's Near Mount Klista
PORT ALBERNI, ALBERTA -- I went to meet my friend at his
house about noon on a Sunday, August 14, 2011 and noticed what I thought was a
flock of birds over the water but realized they were too far away to be birds.
They didn't look like planes or make any sound. There were about 15 objects
that were over the canal in front of the snow caps on the green mountains. They
flew out of my site travelling north towards Mt Klitsa. I've attached a photo of
what I saw looking against the snow Cap Mountains. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Missing and murdered along an 837-mile stretch of Highway
16 are at least eleven woman. The highway cuts through the Rocky Mountains in
British Columbia through Prince George and Prince Rupert has gained infamy as
the scene of possibly dozens of disappearances over the past three decades. Now
known as the "Highway of Tears, this area of Canadian wilderness has raised many
questions, and very few answers. The area is also known for sightings of
Sasquatch and UFOs which may have some connection. More likely this is the work

Beijing
-- Air traffic at an airport in China was restricted for an hour after a UFO was
spotted over on August 18, 2011. The UFO was seen over the runway at Chongquig
Municipality's Jiangbei International Airport, following which flights were
disrupted.
Shanghai Daily reported air traffic was restricted for about an hour
from 12:30 PM, and was lifted after UFO left. Authorities have not offered an
explanation however airport officials thought it could be a sky lantern.
Last night around 12:15 AM, I was looking at the stars in my garden and I saw
a star moving in the sky. I called my boyfriend and all of the sudden it speeded
up and made an L shape turn without slowing down. Then it slowed down and
started making a zigzag maneuver, it stopped for a couple of seconds, and then
in a matter of seconds it started to grow smaller and disappeared. I don't know
of any flying objects that can behave this way if you have any clues please let
me know. Sent from my BlackBerry. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK Mystery UFOs Filmed Flying over
Motorway
south shields -- On about July 29, 2006, at 12:15 am, my
partner and I saw a sphere shaped ufo on the sea front that was nearly
translucent in the clear night sky. It looked like one of those deep smoky blue
jellyfish with a white dot/ball in the middle. We decided to have a walk along
the beach and watched planes coming in on their final right above us while
banking left for runway lineup in Newcastle. A 737 flew over and started to bank
when this sphere looked as if it had just come off the right wing. As the plane
turned left the sphere carried on straight ahead out to sea slowly then picked
up speed till it disappeared. My partner was crying all the way home. She never
believed till then. Thanks to Dean
BRIERLEY HILLS, WEST MIDLANDS -- On July
20, 2011, at 12:46 PM, my friend Scott passed on this photo to me. He was doing
a BBQ with friends and there was a loud roar in the sky and instinctively people
looked up. I noticed there was a plane overhead flanked by at least two strange,
elongated objects. The UFOs closed in on the plane, and then retreated a couple
of miles back in a matter of seconds! Scott grabbed his camera and took photos
as did others! Scott is 57 years of age and this incident has swayed him to
thinking there just may be something else out there. His camera is a FUJIFILM
AV150 14 Mega pixel.
Essex -- A UFO has been filmed speeding
across the sky over M11 motorway on July 29, 2011, close to where a BBC reporter
spotted another mystery object just days later on August 20, 2011. The clear
footage shows a white ball of light darting through the air over the road which
is close to Stansted Airport, in Essex.
The video was posted online. UFO expert Nick Pope told the Sun:
'It's a really interesting video; it's one of the most bizarre
pieces of UFO footage I've seen in a long time.'
BBC reporter Mr Sewell, 41, said, 'I was probably about 15 or 20
miles from Stansted at 4.15 in the morning and there was this big bright light
in the sky descending towards the road,''It was not
the shape of a normal aircraft it was a big disc, round-shaped craft and it
didn't leave. he told Radio 5.
I was sitting at my desk, pondering how I could get people
interested in getting my work of the last thirteen years. I have put together a
DVD of Filer's Files with hundreds of great photographs and UFO sightings.
Additionally, I have decided to include my book within the DVD
that includes George Ritter's exciting abduction story by Linda Moulton Howe.

The U.S. Air Force has cancelled a course entitled
Christian Just War Theory that was required for all nuclear missile launch
officers, reported the Associated
Press. The
course, which has been taught for the past 20 years by military chaplains at
Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, is being revised following complaints
by some participants that Scripture was used by teachers to show that war can be
a moral endeavor, explained David Smith, a spokesman for the Air Force Air Education and Training
Command.
While the Air Force once felt the Bible-based training was necessary because of
the nature of the job missile officers might be called upon to do, Smith said,
it is now considered inappropriate in a society that has become increasingly
pluralistic.
According to
CNN, the Air Force suspended the
ethics class after 31 missile launch officers reported the religious nature of
the briefing to the Military Religious Freedom
Foundation, a secular watchdog group that
targets faith in the armed forces. Mikey Weinstein, a spokesman for the
organization, said that there were several things the missile officers found
disgusting. The first was the fact that there is actually a slide that makes it
clear that theyre trying to teach that, under fundamentalist Christian
doctrine, war is a good thing.
The 43-slide Power Point
presentation begins by posing the question,
Can a person of faith fight in a war? and includes photos of such American
military leaders as General George Washington, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, and
General Thomas Stonewall Jackson as affirmation that a Christian may fight. It
cites such Old Testament examples as Abraham, who organized an army to rescue
Lot (Genesis 14), and Hebrew judges Samson and Deborah, who were motivated by
God to fight and deliver Israel from foreign oppressors. The presentation also
notes New Testament references to the military, such as the apostle Johns
reference to Jesus as a warrior judge (Revelation 19:11).
In addition, the
presentation quotes Wernher von Braun, a noted German rocket
scientist during World War II, who recalled that he and his colleagues made a
moral decision to surrender their technology to the United States after the
war. We felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided
by the Bible could such an assurance to the world be best secured, von Braun
was quoted in one slide as saying.
Weinstein said his group was
literally blown away by what we saw on the slide presentation, adding that
one of the first things I did was to contact some of the most senior leadership
for the Air Force in the Pentagon and made it very clear that this has to stop
immediately.
Smith said Air Force officials were not aware of the
religious nature of the class until they were contacted by TruthOut.org, the online magazine that
originally broke the story. That is when we became aware of concerns about the
course and our commander here reviewed the course and decided immediately that
it was not appropriate for what we want to do and suspended using that
briefing, said Smith.
Smith said that the Air Force is reviewing its
training to determine whether or not to proceed with a similar class that does
not include a religious context. Ethics discussions are an important part of
professional military development and it is especially important for our airmen
who are training to work with nuclear weapons because they have to make hard
decisions, he explained. We are looking to see if we need a briefing like this
... but it will not be a religion based briefing.
Weinstein insisted
that his groups protest wasnt about attacking someones faith. What its
about is remembering that in this country we separate church and state. They
dont do that in other countries. We do that here.
But Matthew Staver of
Liberty Council, a conservative legal
advocacy group, argued that allowing chaplains to include Christian values and
themes in ethics presentations does not violate the establishment clause that
portion of the First Amendment that foes of religious freedom have used in an
effort sanitize society of faith in God.
In reality, Staver said, its a
violation of freedom of religion when the Air Force seeks to suspend this ethics
course solely because it has some Christian themes that are being taught by
chaplains.
Similarly, David French of the American Center for Law and
Justice
said it was ludicrous to charge that the class somehow violated the First
Amendment.. Just-War theory has been a vital part of American military history
for the last several hundred years, French told FOX News, calling Weinsteins attack
another attempt to cleanse American history of its religious realities. He
charged that the campaign was about cleansing religion from the public square
and building a completely secular society and military.
Commander Daniel
McKay, a retired U.S. Navy chaplain, told Fox News that the decision by the Air
Force to bow to pressure from secularists was deeply troubling. Why is it
inappropriate to give our people guidelines that have withstood the test of time
to give us moral guidance, McKay wondered. I think there are certain
segments within our society who are making concerted efforts to take us away
from our Judeo-Christian values, principles, and morals.
Jay Tower of Christian
Echoes
noted that the 20-year-old optional course wasnt controversial until a tiny
minority made it so, adding that groups such as the Military Religious Freedom
Foundation know that Christians can be counted on to be intimidated. Christian
Americans are generally complacent, tend to turn the other cheek and have been
conditioned to giving up their rights whenever a small but vocal minority begins
shouting that they are offended.
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",

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 studieen 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 rapportdeze 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 UFOs 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 schotelvertegenwoordigenl.
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-2s 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
snachts 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 UFOs 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
regelmatigvan 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...

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 dezeongeloofwaardigheden, 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 Im sorry-smoesje na te trekken, kon
elke cynicus vaststellen dat de feiten de werkelijke achtergrond van de UFOs
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 UFOs 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 UFOs gehord of gelezen hadden. Dit onderzoek vroeghet publiek eveneens hun oordeel over de
origine van UFOs. 46% van de ondervraagden verklaarden dat UFOs 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 dateen 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 UFOs
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 toegevoegdewetenschappelijke 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
plasmas,
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
voornaamsteparticuliere
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 gegevensin 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 nieuwetheoriën 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 UFOs. 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 debekomen 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 gegevensen diverse
discussies over specifieke onderwerpen of problemen zeer snel en grenzenloos
kunnen plaatsvinden.
Het was ook in de 70jaren 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
slaagdende 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 Hyneks Center or
UFO-Studies enkele van zijn beste bewijzen en gegenvens over UFOs. Hyneks
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 enfilm meer
en meer in op een dankbaar onderwerp als UFOs. Boeken over UFOs, 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
KINDvan 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 UFOs en E.T.-themas. 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 Warchaupactlandenkenden een
intense, ufologische activiteit. Ze werd toegelaten in eerste instantie
toegelaten door de autoriteiten, maar niet publiek gericht. Later zou de
Sovjetautoriteitzelfs 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 werdin 1977 een officiële organisatie GROUPEMENTdETUDE 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 dEXPERTISE 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 UFOs 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 UFOs 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 UFOs heropend onder de naam G.E.I.P.A.N
(Groupe dEtude et dInformation sur les Phénomènes Aérospatiaux non
Identifiés) en zal geleid worden door Yves SILLARD.
Eerderverscheen 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 dAUHOURDHUI. 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 verrichtis, 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 probleemthans 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
UFOs onder de naam PROJET MAGNET onder leiding van de ingenieurJames WiberBROCKHOUSE 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 actueelniet 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 JAA UFO-ONDERZOEK NOG STEEDS ANGST OM DE WAARHEID...
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-onderzoekersdachten nog steeds dat
de ontvoeringsgevallen net zo eenvoudigals 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 dezegevallen 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 UFOs. 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 datdeze 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 collegas, 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 dokumentente 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 UFOs
1947-1987 van Hilary EVANS en SPENCER schetsten een goed
beeld van het Europese UFO-onderzoek. Ook Vlaamse UFO-onderzoeker Wim vanUTRECHT 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 collegas 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 F16s om de gemelde Ufos 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 UFOs 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 UFOs 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 UFOs) 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-16s 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-16s 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. DeBritse
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. Wildehij
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:snachtsin 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, zon 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 zon 15
meter lang te zijn en 5 meter hoog met een spanwijdte van zon 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
UFOs.
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 UFOs 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...
As
Stanton informed me in 1998 there was a law forbidding contact with
extraterrestrial life since it could be fatal... germs etc. That is why the
astronauts were kept in isolation when they returned from the moon.
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. Author: Pier Giorgio Caria, Director: Luca Trovellesi

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:
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:
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.
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.
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.

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

UnidentifiedAerial Phenomena sightings were
reported over California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, New Jersey, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington. Sightings of UFOs were also
reported in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Mexico, South Africa,
and the United Kingdom.
The purpose of these files is to
report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis
around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial
intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand
UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft
conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when
London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US
Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more
than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of
the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in
ever-increasing numbers.
You can read the highlights

August 2011.
BBC reports newly released government files on UFOs show a lack of will
an d resources to study thousands of reported sightings. The Ministry of
Defence files released by the National Archives cover reported sightings of UFOs
from 1985 to 2007. In one, a military officer predicts embarrassment if the
public discovered a "lack of funds and higher
priorities" were stopping UFO investigations....
The files also shed new light
on the famous RAF Lakenheath incident in 1956
in which Venom fighter planes were scrambled to intercept an unidentified flying
object tracked on radar. Retired RAF Fighter Controller Freddie Wimbledon's
memories of the night are included in the new release, while retired MoD
official Ralph Noyes recalls being shown gun camera footage of the UFO at a
special screening in 1970.
The files contain a wide range of UFO-related documents, drawings, letters
and parliamentary questions covering the years 1985-2007. Read eyewitness
accounts of UFO sightings, see the picture of a 'flying saucer' which was sent
for analysis by defence experts and discover the bizarre story of 'Mork and

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

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

DARPA Hale D High Altitude Airship
AnomalyCauses Crash
Akron, Ohio-- Lockheed Martin said the airship or blimp was launched from
Akron, Ohio, at 5:47 a.m. and reached 32,000 feet before "an anomaly" stopped it from climbing to its target of 60,000 feet.
"At that time, a decision was made to bring the airship back down,
and that's what we did. We brought it down into a remote, lightly populated
area," said Jim Gring, of Lockheed Martin.
The airship crashed near New Freeport, Pennsylvania andis a crumpled in a heap atop some trees. The High
Altitude Long Endurance-Demonstrator (HALE-D) -- is an un-tethered, unmanned
lighter-than-air vehicle that will operate above the jet stream in a
geostationary position to deliver persistent station keeping as a surveillance
platform, telecommunications relay, or a weather observer. The HAA also provides
the Warfighter affordable, ever-present Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance and rapid communications connectivity over the entire battle
space. The anomaly that caused the airship to be
brought down has not been explained. Thanks to Bruce Maccabee who noticed the
story.
Hitler's Stealth Bomber
Paul S. Laskodi writes, " Keep in mind, this aircraft was built in the 1940's. It
resembles our Stealth bombers of today. Had Hitler got these into production
sooner, the world wouldn't be what it is today.
With its smooth and elegant lines, this could be a
prototype for some future successor to the stealth bomber. But this flying wing
was actually designed by the Nazis 30 years before the Americans successfully
developed radar-invisible technology. Now an engineering team has reconstructed
the Horten Ho 2-29 from blueprints, with startling results. Blast from the past:
The full-scale replica of the Ho 2-29 bomber was made with materials available
in the '40s.
Futuristic: The stealth plane
design was years ahead of its time. It was faster and more efficient than any
other plane of the period and its stealth powers did work against radar. Experts
are now convinced that given a little bit more time, the mass deployment of this
aircraft could have changed the course of the war.
First built and tested in the air in March 1944, it was
designed with a greater range and speed than any plane previously built and was
the first aircraft to use the stealth technology now deployed by the U.S. in its
B-2 bombers. Thankfully Hitler's engineers only made three prototypes, tested by
being dragged behind a glider, and were not able to build them on an industrial
scale before the Allied forces invaded.
In 1943 Luftwaffe chief Hermann
Goering demanded that designers come up with a bomber that would meet his
requirements, one that could carry 1,000 kg over 1,000km flying at 1,000km/h.
A
wing section of the stealth bomber at right shows the jet intakes were years
ahead of their time. Two pilot brothers Reimar and Walter Horten, suggested a
flying wing design they had been working on for years.. They were convinced that
with its low drag such a plane would meet Goering's requirements.
Construction on a prototype was
begun in Goettingen in Germany in 1944.
The centre pod was made from a welded steel tube,
and was designed to be powered by a BMW 003 engine. The most important
innovation was Reimar Horten's idea to coat it in a mix of charcoal dust and
wood glue.
The 142-foot wingspan bomber was submitted for approval in
1944, and it would have been able to fly from Berlin to New York and back
without refueling, thanks to the same blended wing design and six BMW 003A
turbojets. They thought the electromagnetic waves of radar would be absorbed,
and in conjunction with the aircraft's sculpted surfaces the craft would be
rendered almost invisible to radar detectors. The plane was covered in radar
absorbent paint with a high graphite content, which has a similar chemical
make-up to charcoal. This was the same method eventually used by the U.S. in its
first stealth aircraft in the early 1980s, the F-117A Nighthawk.
After the war the
Americans captured the prototype Gotha Go 229s along with the blueprints and
used some of their technological advances to aid their own designs. Now using
the blueprints and the only remaining prototype craft, Northrop-Grumman (the
defense firm behind the B-2) built a full-size replica of a Horten Ho
2-29.
Luckily for Britain , the Horten
flying wing fighter-bomber never got much further than the blueprint stage
above.
The plane could have been in London eight minutes after the radar
system detected it. It took them 2,500 man-hours and $250,000 to construct, and
although their replica cannot fly, it was radar-tested by placing it on a 50 ft
articulating pole and exposing it to electromagnetic waves. Although the
aircraft is not completely invisible to the type of radar used in the war, it
would have been stealthy enough and fast enough to ensure that it could reach
London before Spitfires could be scrambled to intercept it. The research was
filmed for a National Geographic documentary. Thanks to Paul S. Laskodi

California Lights
On August 5, 2011, while working in my garage I stopped to
go out front looked up and about a mile in front of me is this light. I keep
looking at it thinking it was a plane then it changed courses abruptly so I went
to get my wife. She looked and got scared so I pulled my cell phone out to take
a picture and then my phone went dead, so I went in the house to get my video
camera and it went dead. I found an old Sony camera that still worked and was
able to take several pictures and some video. I observed the object for about 8
minutes then it took off. Thanks to MUFON CMS
SANTA BARABARA -- Paulette Sfetku writes, "I was
lying in a lounge chair around noon in in Carpinteria in mid June and the sun
was barely blue, being filled with misty, gray chemtrails. There
was an opening in the sky that seemed fairly circular; and I saw the UFO fly
straight through the middle of it in less than 1 minute. It was moving parallel
to the ground like an airplane but there was no sound. The rounded nose of the
ship slowly moved into view from the east and the outline, of the ship became
visible; and seemingly materialized through the chemtrail mist.
When the nose crossed into the middle of the opening, the body of the ship
was visible, but only its only an outline showed as it entered the clouds. So,
the part of the ship that was moving through the center of the opening was fully
visiblebecause that is where the strongest rays of sunlight struck it.
It was huge, long, fat, shiny, silver, cigar-shaped and had one set of very
short, fat lateral wings on each side. It was astonishing how low in the sky it
was flying. The chemtrails was the ship's shroud of invisibility. Thanks to
Paulette.
ANAHEIM --W hile we were fishing on a local private lake my husband
noticed an odd dimly lighted triangle shaped object traveling southwest at 11:06
PM, on July 23, 2011. He told me to look at it to make sure we both believed it
was a UFO. It was traveling steady at about 75 miles per hour at about 2000 feet
up. The triangle shape blocked our view of stars. It had large white glowing
lights similar to a florescent bulb that were casting a glow showing the
triangle shape. It was flying straight and made no sound. After it passed by we
got a very good view of the back of the craft that was a flat dark surface about
15 to 20 feet high. We continued to watch it until it was out of sight. I do not
think the craft could be secret military craft and did not look aerodynamic.

MT. EVANS WILDERNESS AREA -- My wife took some panoramic
photos on August 13, 2011, while we were hiking the Abyss Lake Trail. The area
we were hiking in is located 9 miles north of Grant, CO off of Guanella Pass
Road. We have a before and after photo, in which we cannot ascertain the
identity of the object in one of our photos. My wife who is a serious skeptic of
these cases has really come to question her beliefs in these matters. Thanks to

KEY LARGO -- The witness and his
son were fishing from a dock at the Seafarer Hotel with two other adults and two
children when they saw a boomerang-shaped object moving quickly across the night
sky on August 8, 2011, with five or six non-blinking lights. He
states,
"Suddenly from the west southwest I
saw a large quick moving object shaped like a chevron, making absolutely no
sound, fly right across my direct vision, blocking the star light as it passed,
and having what I think were maybe 5 or 6 white lights that were not blinking
and ran along the bottom of the object.It moved quickly, steadily, and completely
soundless, and it was out of my view in probably 5 to 7 seconds -- but it was as
real as anything I have ever seen. I was in total amazement."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
Mexico Bright Light Photographed
Jalisco -- I was visiting my family and sites on July 27,
2011, in Mexico and took many photographs. When I came home and uploaded this

Cape Town -- IB Staff reporter reports, "A mystifying
unidentified flying object (UFO) has been captured in a photo (July 26, 2011) in
Cape Town, South Africa.
Beside the disc at right a cylinder UFO, perhaps a mothership hovers high
above to the left.
BANBURY -- I used to cycle back home from work on my cycle
through dark unlit country roads in October of 1999. I was heading west along
Welsh Road when I saw an object about the size of a UK water tower. The light
that appeared to circle around the object gave it a disc like appearance. There
were vertical deep red lights that reminded me of a florescent bulb orbiting the
object. I phoned my father to see if he'd come and see it, but he was not
willing to drive down. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kingston upon Hull -- My friend and I were sitting in my
back yard on August 8, 2011, at 12:22 AM, when I noticed an object like a star
moving around very erratically that seemed to be out of control. Then in one
split second it had a huge burst of speed and disappeared. Two minutes later
another object identical to the previous was spotted further on and was moving
erratically as before and disappeared after a huge burst of speed.
This
happened two more times in similar ways. We went back into the house because my
friend was very tired, but I was stunned at what I saw. All of the objects
looked like stars but there behavior was too much like an aircraft that wasn't
human and they where white with a silvery haze round them. Thanks to Peter

Cryptomundo » Bob Girard of Arcturus Books Has Died
Cryptomundo » Bob Girard of Arcturus Books Has Died
The incredible bookseller, founder and owner of Arcturus Books, Robert Girard
died on Friday, August 12, 2011, in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. He had been at
the helm of Arcturus since 1980.
For years, anyone who received the printed catalogues and then the emailings
from bookseller Bob Girard has experienced some of the most in-depth,
opinionated, cutting, humorous reviews and insights about books on
cryptozoology, ancient mysteries, Forteana, ufology, parapsychology, and more
available.
Bob was a friend. I had known him for over thirty years. I helped him get his
mailing list together, I ordered books from him routinely, and hed sell books
of mine direct from the publishers. He wasnt always kind about what he saw in
my books, but I liked him for his honest critiques.
A couple weeks ago, Bob told me he was dying and bills were a problem, as
always, due to the decline of the book business. He sent this notice out
publicly to his catalogue readers:
This will serve as a short update regarding my health issues as they relate
to Arcturus Books. I am badly hobbled by blood clots in both legs, though the
one in my left leg has left me immobile, just barely able to move on two legs.
Blood clots are an indicator of cancer, and I have just now started the journey
I never wanted to makethe one seeking out cancer (prostate) and its extent,
could be migrating to the bones, which is late in the game. Between the lack of
mobility and inability to do physical work, I have backed up a number of recent
orders and back orders. I need to somehow get on top of the clot situation but
there just doesnt seem to be any realistic answer to it. The left leg has to be
watched closely for worsening, while improvement just doesnt seem possible
because of the lack of circulation. Meantime it hurts like hell.
So there are orders piling up hereand I urgently need MORE orders of all
kinds. I have books enough to do a new catalog but medical appointments are
wiping out what working time I can arrange, and life will be like this for some
months ahead. It is ironic indeed that a moment long dreaded by both me and,
presumably, my customers has arrived for us at the same time. This is where you
will likely soon lose your book source for good. It is where I may lose mine,
too, and maybe even my life. Both sidesbuyers and sellerfailed to take care
of business in our respective ways over the years, foolishly taking for granted
that the future would automatically continue the past. Got Brains? Youd better
get every dollar you can in here right now, and gorge your library with whatever
isnt nailed down here. You already know youre never getting MY booksbut there
are still plenty around here that you can have. Meantime Ill try to get on my
feet more reliably, and get late shipments out, and will try to get more books
in with which to continue.
My plan is to go until Im stopped. Arcturus Books July 21,
2011
I asked him if I could post another notice on Cryptomundo to help sales of
his used books. He really didnt want me to, for, he said, he might get too many
orders to ever complete.
It turns out I did not realize how little time he had left.
Bob wrote me on July 27th:
Dear Loren,
Youve always struck me as being one of the most generous and selfless souls
in all of paranormal research, and your kind offer here does nothing to sour my
opinion. It looks as though Im terminal with prostate cancer. I dont know how
much normal time I might have left, but because this condition has been
undoubtedly discovered late, my time is probably measured in a few months. I
cant imagine having much more. I dont know what approach to take except to
play out the hand as best I can, do what I can manage to do, and leave the rest
in as capable hands as I can. It seems to me better to take it day by day, for
any one of the coming days may turn disastrous, leaving whatever efforts YOU
might have made on Arcturuss behalf in a shambles. It seems so precarious to me
that its all probably better if just left to us and to fate. I dont intend to
make any major investments in Arcturus from here on. Ill just try to strip it
as much as I can, and close it when I feel I cant run it gainfully any longer.
Subject to whatever minor or major adjustments seem warranted. I do wish to
thank you for all of your previous help to Arcturus over the years, and I wish
you the best in both your personal and professional life.
Best wishes always Bob
Thats the last I heard from Bob.
The greatest national bookseller of used books ranging from cryptozoology to
Forteana, from ufology to parapsychology has passed away.
I am sad to convey this news that is making the rounds of the book world. I
send out my deepest condolences to Bobs family, and especially to Monica who
was Bobs and Arcturus partner for the last 24 years.

I'm sad to report that Budd Hopkins, the internationally
renowned abduction researcher and artist, passed away. UFOlogy lost a giant in
the abduction field. He died Sunday, August 21, at 1:35 p.m. Budd died from a
combination of liver cancer and pneumonia. 
This image of the moon is from NASA's Moon Mineralogy
Mapper on the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 mission. It is
a three-color composite of reflected near-infrared radiation from the sun, and
illustrates the extent to which different materials are mapped across the side
of the moon that faces Earth. 
Gary McKinnon, the English hacker facing 70 years in U.S.
prison for searching Pentagon sites for UFO evidence, says the weirdest thing he
found was a list of "Non-Terrestrial Officers" and fleet transfers
between ships that don't exist in the U.S. Navy. - 
Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine has
investigated myriad sightings of a two-stage-to-orbit system that could place a
small military space plane in orbit during the 1990s. After the shuttle
Challenger disaster in January 1986, and a subsequent string of
expendable-booster failures, the military needed a quick method to get
satellites into space to keep tabs on its Cold War adversaries. 
"In 1986, Boeing filed a U.S. patent application for an
advanced two-stage space transportation system. Patent No. 4,802,639, was
awarded on Feb. 7, 1989, details how a small orbiter could be air-dropped from
the belly of a large delta-winged carrier at Mach 3.3 and 103,800-ft. altitude.
Tons of material--including long-lead structural items--for a third XB-70
Valkyrie had been stored in California warehouses years before, and a wealth of
data from the X-20 DynaSoar military space plane program (shown) was readily
available for application to a modern orbiter. "The DynaSoar program
in November 1959 was the first effort to use a manned boost-glider to fly in
near-orbital space and return. The B-70 was to carry the 10,000-lb. DynaSoar
glider and a 40,000-lb. liquid rocket booster to 70,000 feet and release them
while traveling at Mach 3. With this lofty start, the booster could then push
the glider into its final 300-mile orbit." 
Does, or did, a secret piloted military space plane,
called the Blackstar, fly into suborbital and orbital space since the early
1990s? That's the highly intriguing and provocative big question raised in an
amazing cover feature article in the prestigious "Aviation Week & Space
Technology." 
Highlights include the US Air Force's classified research
and development budget. Earlier estimates suggested that secret projects
accounted for 36 per cent of USAF Rand D spending, but the FY2010 budget shows
that even this startling number is on the low side. The USAF plans to spend
almost $12 billion on secret programs in 2010 - more than three Joint Strike
Fighter F-35 development efforts - or just about 43 per cent of its R&D.
A gamekeeper and a guard at Stonehenge both confirmed that
it had not been there that morning. The formation was named the `Julia Set` as
it represented a complex computer generated fractal image to the mathematicians;
to musicians, a base clef, and to marine biologists the cross section of a
nautilus. "This report has remained one of the most important in the history of
the crop circle phenomenon as rarely do crop circles appear during day light
hours." 
DISCOVERY BAY -- On August 20, 2011, Two
sets of 3 triangle lights of a halogen blue-white color that trailed each other
turning in an arcing motion then separated, one disappeared then the other
disappeared. They were at about the height at which a large airplane flies.

ARVADA -- This picture is the second sighting of a UFO on
CAPE CANAVERAL -- While waiting in line to
enter the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral with my family, I decided to
take photos. I saw the astronaut atop the entrance and decided that it would
make a great shot at 11:30 AM, on July 2, 2011. It was several days before I
downloaded the photos to my computer and saw the glowing dot. I have never seen
an airplane that high glow with such brilliance. I have no idea if I took
something interesting. Thanks to MUFON CMS Note: It may be a star.
Atlanta -- Flying on the plane on August
18, 2011, I started seeing three to four red lights showing than disappearing in
the clouds, yet we are 38-40 thousand feet in the air. I take out my camera and
start shooting and the lights go up and down and a bunch of red lights turned
white trailing the plane. Not shown in previous or later shots. I actually
didn't see the big pink one, but its hovering over the plane, saw it when i
looked at my pictures. My flight left from LaGuardia at 5:59 pm and flew to
Atlanta, and landed at 8:07 pm. Thanks to MUFON CMS
MARIAN -- I was on the back deck at my
home with my fianc, we were just outside smoking a cigarette. I looked past the
tree line and said that it looked like someone lit a balloon on fire. As it got
closer I couldn't identify it so I went ahead and used my smart phone to film
it. We watched it over and over until we decided to see what others thought.
Surprisingly within 24 hours it had been spread all over the internet. I
contacted WSIL Channel 3 that night. They called the next morning wanting to see
the video, so I sent it to them. I haven't heard back from them. All the video
of those Chinese lanterns that I have researched all seem to go straight up...
this is steady and slow. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Acton -- I was traveling west bound on
Route 2 at the Acton Littleton line about 2 PM, on July 31, 2011. As I came
around the curve, I saw a reflective black tube shaped object traveling east. I
believe it was about 30 feet long and 6 feet in diameter and tumbling end over
end. As I drove under the 250 feet high descending object I remembered I had my
35 mm Pentax k1000 with 35-80 zoom at infinity focus. The object was now at an
altitude of 1200 feet traveling east. I realized the object was traveling too
fast to catch up to on the highway so I continued to my destination and mailed
the film for development. Thanks to MUFON CMS
KENT -- On 
SAO PAULO -- Residents reported seeing an UFO from
Saturday July 23 to 24, 2011, Sunday morning in Embu "The witness said,
"I saw a disc-shaped object with several lights flashing, revolving
around its axis. With lights through yellow and a blue light flashing in the
center very strongly," said Cringer Prota on Sunday by telephone
to the G1.
Missing and murdered along an 837-mile stretch of Highway
16 are at least eleven woman. The highway cuts through the Rocky Mountains in
British Columbia through Prince George and Prince Rupert has gained infamy as
the scene of possibly dozens of disappearances over the past three decades. Now
known as the "Highway of Tears, this area of Canadian wilderness has raised many
questions, and very few answers. The area is also known for sightings of
Sasquatch and UFOs which may have some connection. More likely this is the work
of murderer. [...]
BRIERLEY HILLS, WEST MIDLANDS -- On July
20, 2011, at 12:46 PM, my friend Scott passed on this photo to me. He was doing
a BBQ with friends and there was a loud roar in the sky and instinctively people
looked up. I noticed there was a plane overhead flanked by at least two strange,
elongated objects. The UFOs closed in on the plane, and then retreated a couple
of miles back in a matter of seconds! Scott grabbed his camera and took photos
as did others! Scott is 57 years of age and this incident has swayed him to
thinking there just may be something else out there. His camera is a FUJIFILM
AV150 14 Mega pixel. 
The U.S. Air Force has cancelled a course entitled
Christian Just War Theory that was required for all nuclear missile launch
officers, reported the 
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.
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
ANAHEIM --W 
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
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. 
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

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
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
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
