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

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

    In a few days it will be the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001. How well has the US government's official account of the event held up over the decade?

    Not very well. The chairman, vice chairman, and senior legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission wrote books partially disassociating themselves from the commission's report. They said that the Bush administration put obstacles in their path, that information was withheld from them, that President Bush agreed to testify only if he was chaperoned by Vice President Cheney and neither were put under oath, that Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for investigation for obstruction of justice.

    In their book, the chairman and vice chairman, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, wrote that the 9/11 Commission was "set up to fail." Senior counsel John Farmer, Jr., wrote that the US government made "a decision not to tell the truth about what happened," and that the NORAD "tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public." Kean said, "We to this day don't know why NORAD told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth."

    Most of the questions from the 9/11 families were not answered. Important witnesses were not called. The commission only heard from those who supported the government's account. The commission was a controlled political operation, not an investigation of events and evidence. Its membership consisted of former politicians. No knowledgeable experts were appointed to the commission.

    One member of the 9/11 Commission, former Senator Max Cleland, responded to the constraints placed on the commission by the White House: "If this decision stands, I, as a member of the commission, cannot look any American in the eye, especially family members of victims, and say the commission had full access. This investigation is now compromised." Cleland resigned rather than have his integrity compromised.

    To be clear, neither Cleland nor members of the commission suggested that 9/11 was an inside job to advance a war agenda. Nevertheless, neither Congress nor the media wondered, at least not out loud, why President Bush was unwilling to appear before the commission under oath or without Cheney; why Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission or, if the officials did not lie, why the commission believed they lied, or why the White House resisted for so long any kind of commission being formed, even one under its control.

    One would think that if a handful of Arabs managed to outwit not merely the CIA and FBI but all 16 US intelligence agencies, all intelligence agencies of our allies including Mossad, the National Security Council, the State Department, NORAD, airport security four times on one morning, air traffic control, etc., the President, Congress, and the media would be demanding to know how such an improbable event could occur. Instead, the White House put up a wall of resistance to finding out, and Congress and the media showed little interest.

    During the decade that has passed, numerous 9/11 Truth organizations have formed. There are Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Remember Building 7.org, and a New York group which includes 9/11 families. These groups call for a real investigation.

    David Ray Griffen has written 10 carefully researched books documenting problems in the government's account. Scientists have pointed out that the government has no explanation for the molten steel. NIST has been forced to admit that WTC 7 was in free fall for part of its descent, and a scientific team led by a professor of nano-chemistry at the University of Copenhagen has reported finding nano-thermite in the dust from the buildings.

    Larry Silverstein, who had the lease on the World Trade Center buildings, said in a PBS broadcast that the decision was made "to pull" Building 7 late in the afternoon of 9/11. Chief fire marshals have said that no forensic investigation was made of the buildings' destruction and that the absence of investigation was a violation of law.

    Some efforts have been made to explain away some of the evidence that is contrary to the official account, but most of the contrary evidence is simply ignored. The fact remains that the skepticism of a large number of knowledgeable experts has had no effect on the government's position other than a member of the Obama administration suggesting that the government infiltrate the 9/11 truth organizations in order to discredit them.

    The practice has been to brand experts not convinced by the government's case "conspiracy theorists." But of course the government's own theory is a conspiracy theory, an even less likely one once a person realizes its full implication of intelligence and operational failures. The implied failures are extraordinarily large; yet, no one was ever held accountable.

    Moreover, what do 1,500 architects and engineers have to gain from being ridiculed as conspiracy theorists? They certainly will never receive another government contract, and many surely lost business as a result of their "anti-American" stance. Their competitors must have made hay out of their "unpatriotic doubts." Indeed, my reward for reporting on how matters stand a decade after the event will be mail telling me that as I hate America so much I should move to Cuba.

    Scientists have even less incentive to express any doubts, which probably explains why there are not 1,500 Physicists for 9/11 Truth. Few physicists have careers independent of government grants or contracts. It was a high school physics teacher who forced NIST to abandon its account of Building 7's demise. Physicist Stephen Jones, who first reported finding evidence of explosives, had his tenure bought out by BYU, which no doubt found itself under government pressure.

    We can explain away contrary evidence as coincidences and mistakes and conclude that only the government got it all correct, the same government that got everything else wrong.

    In fact, the government has not explained anything. The NIST report is merely a simulation of what might have caused the towers to fail if NIST's assumptions programed into the computer model are correct. But NIST supplies no evidence that its assumptions are correct.

    Building 7 was not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report, and many Americans are still unaware that three buildings came down on 9/11.

    Let me be clear about my point. I am not saying that some black op group in the neoconservative Bush administration blew up the buildings in order to advance the neoconservative agenda of war in the Middle East. If there is evidence of a coverup, it could be the government covering up its incompetence and not its complicity in the event. Even if there were definite proof of government complicity, it is uncertain that Americans could accept it. Architects, engineers, and scientists live in a fact-based community, but for most people facts are no match for emotions.

    My point is how un-inquisitive the executive branch, including the security agencies, Congress, the media, and much of the population are about the defining event of our time.

    There is no doubt that 9/11 is the determinant event. It has led to a decade of ever expanding wars, to the shredding of the Constitution, and to a police state. On August 22 Justin Raimondo reported that he and his website, Antiwar.com, are being monitored by the FBI's Electronic Communication Analysis Unit to determine if Antiwar.com is "a threat to National Security" working "on behalf of a foreign power."

    Francis A. Boyle, an internationally known professor and attorney of international law, has reported that when he refused a joint FBI-CIA request to violate the attorney/client privilege and become an informant on his Arab-American clients, he was placed on the US government's terrorist watch list.

    Boyle has been critical of the US government's approach to the Muslim world, but Raimondo has never raised, nor permitted any contributor to raise, any suspicion about US government complicity in 9/11. Raimondo merely opposes war, and that is enough for the FBI to conclude that he needs watching as a possible threat to national security.

    The US government's account of 9/11 is the foundation of the open-ended wars that are exhausting America's resources and destroying its reputation, and it is the foundation of the domestic police state that ultimately will shut down all opposition to the wars. Americans are bound to the story of the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attack, because it is what justifies the slaughter of civilian populations in several Muslim countries, and it justifies a domestic police state as the only means of securing safety from terrorists, who already have morphed into "domestic extremists" such as environmentalists, animal rights groups, and antiwar activists.

    Today Americans are unsafe, not because of terrorists and domestic extremists, but because they have lost their civil liberties and have no protection from unaccountable government power. One would think that how this came about would be worthy of public debate and congressional hearings.

    CIA Archives: Defense Against the Spy - Espionage Devices (1967)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgE-UmcmjzU

    Cold War espionage describes the intelligence gathering activities during the Cold War between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Because each side was preparing to fight the other, intelligence on the opposing side's intentions, military, and technology was of paramount importance. To gather this information, the two relied on a wide variety of military and civilian agencies. While several such as the CIA and KGB became synonymous with Cold War espionage, many other organizations played key roles in the collection and analysis of a wide host of intelligence disciplines.

    During World War II the various allied nations held a tenuous relationship with the Soviet Union, but cooperation persisted due to a common enemy. Never quite trustful of each other, this resulted in espionage of tactics and technology between the Western bloc and Soviet bloc. After World War II ended, the two sides became increasingly confrontational, culminating in the Cold War.

    Active Measures (Russian: Активные мероприятия) were a form of political warfare conducted by the Soviet security services (Cheka, OGPU, NKVD, KGB) to influence the course of world events, "in addition to collecting intelligence and producing politically correct assessment of it." Active measures ranged "from media manipulations to special actions involving various degree of violence". They were used both abroad and domestically. They included disinformation, propaganda, counterfeiting official documents, assassinations, and political repression, such as penetration of churches, and persecution of political dissidents.

    Active measures included the establishment and support of international front organizations (e.g. the World Peace Council); foreign communist, socialist and opposition parties; wars of national liberation in the Third World; and underground, revolutionary, insurgency, criminal, and terrorist groups. The intelligence agencies of Eastern Bloc and other communist states also contributed in the past to the program, providing operatives and intelligence for assassinations and other types of covert operations.

    Retired KGB Maj. Gen. Oleg Kalugin described active measures as "the heart and soul of Soviet intelligence": "Not intelligence collection, but subversion: active measures to weaken the West, to drive wedges in the Western community alliances of all sorts, particularly NATO, to sow discord among allies, to weaken the United States in the eyes of the people of Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and thus to prepare ground in case the war really occurs."

    Active measures was a system of special courses taught in the Andropov Institute of KGB situated at SVR headquarters in Yasenevo, near Moscow. The head of "active measures department" was Yuri Modin, former controller of the Cambridge Five spy ring.

    In Special Reports, this week's files cover: Lord Hill Norton Tireless UFO Advocate at the House of Lords, Russian Supply Ship Heading for the ISS Explodes, Moon Dome, Spaceport America, Hollywood Has Caught Alien Fever, Driving Tips in the Rain.

    Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

    Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Belgium, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Wales 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.

    Lord Hill Norton, Chief of Defense Staff, Ministry of Defense, Great Britain, 1973; Chairman, Military Committee of NATO, 1974-77; quoted from his foreword to "Above Top Secret" by Timothy Good, Morrow & Co's Quill Books, 1988.

    " The evidence that there are objects which have been seen in our atmosphere, and even on terra firma, that cannot be accounted for either as man-made objects or as any physical force or effect known to our scientists, seems to me to be overwhelming... A very large number of sightings have been vouched for by persons whose credentials seem to me unimpeachable. It is striking that so many have been trained observers, such as police officers and airline or military pilots. Their observations have in many instances... been supported either by technical means such as radar or, even more convincingly, by... interference with electrical apparatus of one sort or another...."

    Goodnight Irene

    Hurricane Irene passed through New Jersey knocking down numerous limbs and thousands of sticks, but no real damage to my home despite eight inches of rain and high winds. Many states reported seeing UFOs indicating our observers had interest in the phenomena. More and stronger hurricanes are likely this year and UFO sightings are likely to continue to rise. The History and Discovery Channels and movies are creating a strong belief in the phenomena. It's time for the government to realize the people are ready to acknowledge the situation. I email these files to over 8,000 people a week. MUFON and National Reporting Center sightings have doubled in the last several years, with both having around 600 sightings a month with a total over a thousand.

    Russian Supply Ship Heading for the ISS Explodes

    MOSCOW -- An unmanned Russian supply ship bound for the International Space Station failed to reach its planned orbit Wednesday, and pieces of it fell in Siberia amid a thunderous explosion, officials said. A brief statement from Roscosmos, Russia's space agency , did not specify whether the Progress supply ship that was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan had been lost. But the state news agency RIA Novosti quoted Alexander Borisov, head of a the Choisky region in Russia's Altai province, as saying pieces of the craft fell in his area some 1,500 kilometers (900 miles) northeast of the launch site.

    "The explosion was so strong that for 100 kilometers (60 miles) glass almost flew out of the windows," he was quoted as saying. Borisov said there were no immediate reports of casualties. The ITAR-Tass news agency quoted Choisky's Interior Ministry as saying the space ship crashed in a vast Siberian forest.

    The ship was carrying more than 2.5 tons of supplies, including oxygen, food and fuel. Since the ending of the U.S. space shuttle program this summer, Russian spaceships are a main supply link to the space station.

    NASA is now forced to rely on Russian spacecraft to operate the International Space Station since the shuttle program has been cancelled. A continuing problem with Russia's fleet may force NASA to abandon the station as soon as late November.

    There are six astronauts now aboard the ISS with plenty of supplies at the moment. If Russian Soyuz rockets remain grounded beyond mid-November, there may be no way to launch new crews before the current residents are supposed to leave. It is possible military or civilian rockets may be able to accomplish the resupply mission. Thanks to Fox News

    Moon Dome

    Scott Waring writes, "Supposedly this is where NASA found the abandoned alien base that was still in working order and then they stationed US Marines on it, or so the story goes from the info that computer hacker Gary McKinnon has stated in interviews. If this is true and this dome over the crater is the base, then these photos I am posting today may be the first ever photos of the city of Luna as its been called in the past. The dome is located at: 5 deg South, 134.1 deg East. NASA Photo Archives, Lunar surface. The NASA photo was taken back in December of 1972 and discovered the legendary glass dome over a moon crater. Photo is AS17-P-1923

    Hollywood Has Caught Alien Fever

    In the past few months, a slew of big-budget alien movies has hit theaters, from kiddie flicks ("Mars Needs Moms") to comedies ("Paul") to high-octane action films ("Battle: Los Angeles," "Green Lantern" and the just-released "Cowboys & Aliens," among others). And many more such movies are on the way, both this year and next.

    This glut of alien sci-fi films comes at a time when scientific discoveries are making the existence of life beyond Earth seem more and more plausible. And that might not be a coincidence, some experts say.

    "It's a long-term interest, but the science now is making it that much more realistic," said Emory University physics professor Sidney Perkowitz, author of "Hollywood Science: Movies, Science, and the End of the World" (Columbia University Press, 2007). "I think Hollywood and science will feed into each other on this." Just 20 years ago, scientists had yet to find a single planet beyond our own solar system. Now the count of confirmed extrasolar planets tops 1300, with many more about to be added to the list.

    In short, the prospect that life exists beyond Earth -- and perhaps even beyond our solar system -- is becoming more and more likely. This is big news that affects the way many people view our species and its place in the universe. And now more than ever, Hollywood may be tapping into that growing well of interest.

    "My suspicion is, even if Hollywood weren't pushing it, people would be interested," Perkowitz told SPACE.com. "I think the straight science turns them on, but there's no doubt that Hollywood knows how to enhance it, and how to use it in really effective ways."

    Of course, it's not as if Hollywood has just discovered that aliens can be box-office gold. Alien films have been around -- and have been raking in big bucks -- for decades. "There's money in aliens," said Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in Mountain View, Calif. -- He does, however, sense an overall increase in alien movies in the last two decades. But this trend may have more to do with geopolitical developments than scientific ones, he said. "I think that they became popular after the collapse, in 1991, of the Soviet Union," Shostak told SPACE.com. "You still needed bad guys in movies, and all of a sudden your favorite bad guys -- who came from behind the Iron Curtain -- they weren't available anymore."

    Aliens were a natural choice to wrest this role from the Russians. First of all, aliens won't complain about being caricatured or typecast. "There's no anti-defamation league, if you will, for the aliens," Shostak said. "And they have another advantage: They don't ask for residuals. They're cheap. You have to computer-animate them, that's true, but that's a lot cheaper than hiring a big-time Hollywood star."Thanks to space.com

    UFO Sightings in the United States

    Arizona Lights

    Globe/Miami -- My husband and I were in our backyard spa saw two military jets with white and red lights chasing four very fast, erratic in movement white-yellow lights at 7:35 PM, on August 20, 2011. Within a five minute span we heard several passes of the familiar sound of military jets (I was born in Globe-Miami area and have lived here 47 years). We both talked how unusual it was to hear so many military jet passes. My husband was facing the EAST sky and told me to look. I saw 2 white-yellow circular lights and 2 objects (white with red lights) in the sky. The white-yellow circular lights were faster than the other 2 objects in the sky. It looked like the 2 objects were chasing the circular lights but could not keep up because the circular lights were making erratic moves and were much faster.

    One of the circular lights would go right, then make an extreme northern change in direction while the other circular light would go left and disappear and then re-appear. Then a 3rd and 4th circular light would appear. Once in a while they would be headed in the same direction and then split off and circle in other directions while the 2 objects (white with red lights) would try and follow them. At one point, there were 4 white-yellow circular lights and 2 (white objects with red lights). We continued to occasionally here the military jets (white objects with red lights) over the next 10 minutes and then they disappeared. The next hour we continued to watch 1 to 4 white-yellow circular lights dancing in the sky. They made impossible erratic movements. A few times the lights would stay in one place, and then suddenly race across the sky. The lights would sometimes get larger (as big as a star) with the naked eye, and then change directions and get smaller (1/2 the size of a star). The UFO's would occasionally circle instead of making sharp turns. There was a five minute increment that we did not see UFO's, and then they appeared again for another 20 minutes. By then we were using binoculars and the white-yellow lights appeared more spherical than circular. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

    California Sightings

    SAN FRANCISCO BAY -- Thos picture was taken on May 10, 2004 during a charter fishing trip. No one recalls seeing the UFOs but they appear clearly and in an extremely realistic fashion in two photos. One appearing was a tiered shaped craft with distorted "field" around it with another "ball-like" object nearby. Second photograph shows a curved like object that is clearly defined and extremely odd shaped, almost like a boomerang. Another "ball-like" object can be seen above the individuals head. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    GUALALA -- I was heading north on Highway 1 just after sunset in southern Mendocino County on Monday August 22, 2011 at 8:25 pm. I spotted a contrail way up above the clouds to the right of the sun over the ocean. At first, I thought it was a missile so I pulled over but lost track of the contrail. I scanned the sky again and found two contrails close together. The object rose at a steady rate up into the sky higher and higher until it vanished into the blue sky. The event lasted no more than five minutes and might be a rocket sent into space, but from where would it have been launched? Thanks to MUFON CMS

    BRENTWOOD -- Riding bikes through neighborhood down Breakwater Way to Minnesota Avenue/Carmel Parkway intersection at 8:35 - 8:37 pm on August 21, 2011. In glancing up to the North/East, two unusual objects were clearly visible resting in the night sky. Each object was about a half a hand outstretched and a hand apart. The formation on the left had two large white lights - which looked almost like a car headlights to an invisible car.

    The object to the right looked something like the Pleiades but upon standing stationary and staring, there were white dots of lights grouped in a boomerang shape. Both objects seemed to have a shape blending with the dark night sky to which the lights were attached. The two-light object on the left had brighter lights than the one on the right. The lights were white or whitish blue. The lights did not blink. The objects made no detectible sound. Both objects appeared to be still but upon closer observation were moving in tandem off to the north/east. While trying to follow the trajectory of the objects on bike and upon crossing the intersection, the objects were suddenly no longer visible. If the objects were aircraft they would have still been quite visible from a farther distance but it appears as though they vanished from the night sky. There was a lot of air traffic during this evening but these objects looked absolutely nothing like air traffic and appeared quite large. No air traffic appeared to be nearby these objects. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    CAtoyShaped top27Aug11.jpgDana Ruth, age 57, Genara Krug, age 42 and myself, age 58 were out in my spa enjoying the evening at 8 PM. Genara pointed up and to the saying "Look". I initially observed three objects that were about five miles south of us traveling NNE. After several moments I shook off the amazement and called for my camera and binoculars. I am a multi-engine private pilot with thirty years of experience around most types of aircraft, military and the most qualified observer otherwise. I watched the lead object stop illuminating, while the others were lit up and stretched out in a varied line with no sound. The objects all had the same illuminated sphere shape 50 to 90 feet in diameter with a solid bar of light that resembled a flattened out letter "W". They changed color from bright orange on a couple of them to yellowish on others. During their approach the last three trailing objects swept wide to the west before turning to the east. There were no red, green, white, or strobes for navigational lighting. I took several pictures and two short videos with a Kodak digital camera but the images are poor. The objects speed was very slow and two objects hovered before continuing to the east.

    I switched over to a set of Nikon Monarch 10 X 56 6 degree binoculars with lens optimum for low light conditions. I tracked the last three of the objects that stopped. I could see the bottom 4/7ths of a sphere with a slightly conical structure on top. This structure was centered on top and fell short of reaching either edge by 1/5th of the top distance of the shape. They flew east until they became obscured by my neighbor's roof line.

    Colorado Luminescent Metallic Orb

    Colorado Springs -- Paul writes, "I read about the sighting in Mt Evans, CO on August 23rd and I was on vacation visiting my friend on a 16 mile hike near Pikes Peak. Towards the highest point of our hike, we took a rest, and looked at a luminescent metallic orb/ellipse make hair point turns behind the clouds. What was fascinating was that everything was completely silent. I was transfixed as this thing turned and headed towards Pike's Peak. The fact that there was other activity in the state on that day is fascinating. Respectfully, Paul Gaspari, Ph.D.

    Delaware Lights

    BETHANY BEACH -- A little after midnight on August 12, 2011, I went out to the beach with a relative to watch the Perseid meteor shower. I looked up and saw a yellowish bright star moving silently over the ocean. A light was darting around within the same general space and then I noticed alternating red, green, and other pale colors attached to a single craft darting around like a hummingbird. My relative saw it too and spotted another one over the water, behaving almost identically.

    I silently asked that, if it could hear me, to indicate so by moving up and down. It did as I asked. Then I asked for it to just move down, and it also complied. The third time I asked it to move side to side, and it started to do so before I could even finish the question in my head and my whole skull felt warm. A few minutes later I started asking, "Give me proof that you can hear me?" But it stopped responding. We stayed on the beach for about forty-five minutes, and both craft remained for the entire time.

    Florida Lights

    I kept seeing a star like entity in the Gulf of Mexico on August 24, 2011, which flashed in the colors of the rainbow. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    SARASOTA -- On August 20, 2011 three of my friends and I went for a walk on our college campus down to the bay on the gulf coast about 10 pm, when I saw a bright light from north. I actually jokingly said, "It's a UFO. Once everybody was focusing on the object, we became confused about what it could be. It wasn't too far from us, moving very slowly, and began to make a zigzag pattern over the water, at times heading right towards us. It was definitely less than a mile away, silent flying toward us. There were no other lights on the craft other than the main brightest white one, and the object appeared to be triangular in shape. We were standing next to a copse of trees which separated the campus from a nearby neighborhood and the UFO descended just beyond the trees and landed, very slowly and silently. We didn't go into the trees to investigate because we were unsure of what the object could be. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Illinois Triangle

    CHICAGO -- On August 27, 2011, I snapped a photo of the Michigan Avenue Bridge looking north. At the time I didn't notice anything but when I got home and uploaded the photos I noticed something in the sky on the photo. Not sure if it was some weird reflection from the city lights or what but I am uploading the photo with this so I will let you be the judge. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Minnesota Cylinder

    Willmar -- My girlfriend and I were loading my vehicle at the Willmar Wal-Mart at 3:30 PM, on Wednesday, August 24, 2011. She spotted the object first and asked me, "What is that? We observed a shiny chrome cigar shaped craft cruising slowly west in a straight line. We could see there were no wings or other structures on the craft. There were two black colored circles on the bottom middle of the craft. I was awestruck at how a craft that big with no wings could cruise that slowly. Then, as we were watching it, it just simply vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    New Mexico Cell phone Photo

    DULCE -- Resident C. Vigil took this photo near the high school football field not too far from Dulce Rock on March 1, 2011. This is part of the Archuleta Mesa.

    Sightings of UFOs are common in the area. Photo courtesy of Norio Hayakawa and http://unitedkingdomufogroup.yolasite.com

    New York 25 Objects

    Canandaigua -- The witness spotted the first object followed by 20 to 25 objects on August 28, 2011. They were not in a distinct formation but slowed, hovered, up, and then moved along fairly quickly in a loose formation flying west. The event lasted about ten minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    North Dakota Civil Air Patrol Spots UFO

    JAMESTOWN -- The weekly meeting of the local Civil Air Patrol squadron, ND 031, had just ended, and several cadets were being driven home in the squadron van, which was heading west on I-94 just west of Jamestown. The object was seen by 4 of the 5 Civil Air Patrol members in the van just east of exit 248, a bright glowing object with bright "vapor trail". Both the object and the trail were bright blue green in color. The object's apparent size was that of a softball, with an apparent velocity roughly equal to or slightly greater than the vehicle, which was moving at freeway speed (75 mph). The flight path was roughly 10 degrees descending, i.e., not quite horizontal, and appeared parallel with the interstate, east to west. After being observed for 20-30 seconds, the object disappeared with a flash, reportedly making a couple of "popping" sounds which were audible in the vehicle while driving.

    The intensity of the light was such that the inside of the van was lit, described as similar to the light of an arc welder. This is not a first-person account; I am compiling this account from the descriptions given by the people in the van. I am the squadron commander, but was not at the meeting; my wife, the deputy commander for cadets, was driving. Based on the descriptions, I asked if this object could have been a meteor, but most felt that it looked more like a man-made object, burning with the color of magnesium on fire. We have speculated on the possibility of a satellite reentry, but the flight angle is not conducive to that conclusion. Also, the trail apparently did not contain debris as would be expected. Reports have been made to the local sheriff's office. Thank You, John Nyberg Captain CAP

    Ohio Ball Shaped Fireball

    Fremont -- My girlfriend and I were coming back to town on August 20, 2011, at 10:15 PM, and saw a ball shaped fireball moving in the sky. We pulled into a parking lot and got out and watched as it traveled away, then returned and stopped above us. My girlfriend took this picture before it disappeared shortly after. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

    Oregon Alien Image

    OregonAlienNov10.jpgTillamook -- I actually did not see this creature until later when I took the memory stick out of my camera and put it on my computer. An old school chum noticed it on the photo on my Facebook page. It looks like a gargoyle to me. It is facing a fire we had built between our families two trailers and is not the flames. This thing was right next to me, but I did not see it.

    When we arrived at the Sand Lake Dunes in Tillamook there was an odd noise that startled everyone that we thought was a cat. It was the weirdest experience as all my family and friends have really been unsettled by this photo. I have photos taken in daylight with nothing there. There is also a blue orb in the photo. This evening my boyfriend did some photo shop playing with the lights of the photo and it appears to be solid as the light reflects off of it. There is some sort of insignia on the metallic part of the garment. It appears to be a genuine otherworldly creature. I thought I should share this October 2010 image. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Pennsylvania News Camera Image

    Allentown -- Take a look at this at 27 seconds of video taken on August 24, 2011, at 4:30 PM, from the top of the local Allentown PPL building!

    Response to Investigator Questions: I live in the Allentown area and someone else from my local area posted the video on facebook. it. I figured you might be able to look at it. The one thing about it that gets me is that the traffic is going so slow compared to the object crossing the screen. Thank you for your help!

    Note: I am unsure of the identity of the object in the video. It is flying quite low and fast. No distinctive features are visible that would suggest that the object was a regular aircraft. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.ufosnw.com

    Tennessee Ball of Fire and Flying Objects

    Fairlight -- I would like to report a sighting on August 20, 2011, at 11:25 PM, near Hastings, in clear skies. My wife and I saw what looked like a ball of fire high in the sky which moved faster than a plane and took 30 seconds to go across the sky and out of view. We live in a rural setting with no light pollution and there was no noise. It was too big and far too fast for a Chinese lantern and it wasn't a plane. Thanks to Nick

    Knoxville -- About 8:45 PM, on August 27, 2011, I was working on my deck when I saw these objects appear so I got my camera and took these pictures. The silent objects would go straight up, fly north, reverse, travel east and disappear. It could have been man- made, but who knows? What do you think? There were three and less.

    Note: Given the movements described by the witness I don't have an explanation for this sighting. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.ufosnw.com

    Westmoreland -- On August 26, 2011, I was out side with my wife who said, "Look at that nice bright star. I told her, "That wasn't there last night. Looking at the light I noticed that it was moving up and down and grabbed the camera and took pictures. Watching it for two hours the lights suddenly went out. The next night we tried to find it but there was no light in this location. I took a picture in the same location and the object lit up and moved about 8 miles, stopped, and stayed there for about two hours and then disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Texas Disc Shaped Object

    San Antonio -- I'm a police detective and have been an officer for over 17 years so I guess you could consider me a 'trained observer'. I'm also a backyard astronomer and was in the process of setting up my telescope when I happened to notice high in the east sky a disc shaped object moving very slowly north on August 27, 2011. The object brightened significantly brighter than Venus before completely disappearing. When the object dimmed with a lingering fade out, I could clearly see that it had a physical shape of a circle or edge-on disc.

    The object was about the apparent size of maybe a small pea held at arm's length. A few seconds later the object repeated the brightening and fading one more time. I called my wife who is also a police detective and she came out and we both saw the object again brighten, dimmer than the first two times I saw it. The object was significantly larger than a visible satellite or even the ISS/shuttle passes. This object was large enough to actually resolve a circular edge-on disc shape and it appeared to be extremely high in altitude. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Virginia Cigar and Disks

    Martinsville -- South bound in my 18 wheeler on August 18, 2011, I saw a cigar shaped craft fly over the highway just above tree tops. It was a fast flying 20 feet long and six feet tall disk or cigar. I saw it for a few seconds and quickly it was gone. It flew silently. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Roanoke -- I was stopped at a stoplight at 11PM, on August 11, 2011, when I spotted what at first seemed to be a spider web in my passenger window. All I could see were three reflections of light that were bobbing up and down seemingly connected like a spider web. I swatted at it with my hand but soon realized they were alien ships. They had a disk shape and emanated light from above and below their vessel. Three disk shaped ships were moving in formation, one was white and two were red with a strange aura around them. It was truly a spectacular sight. The whole encounter lasted no more than 30 seconds as the light turned green and the lights left. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

    Washington Lights

    Arlington -- Our sighting was July 4, 2011 around 9 PM. We thought it was meteorites. I have a video from my digital camera, but it's just a Nikon so it was hard to pick up anything. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

    Wisconsin Bulb Shaped

    Lake Superior -- I was fishing on shore behind McDonalds' on August 29, 2011, when I noticed the object over Lake Superior. It was kind of light bulb or saucer shaped, but its profile changed as it sat there and appeared to be spinning? The light bulb was flatter on one side than the other and moved up and down perpendicular to the water, not hovering like a usual saucer. It just sat there for about 18 minutes so I tried taking pictures but it was just too small to see. I looked away for a brief moment, and it was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Worldwide UFO Sightings

    Belgium Bright Image

    BelgiumBrussels8Aug11.jpg Brussels -- I shot six pictures of a nice sunset with an interval of 45 seconds between pictures during my trip during August. When I looked at them a few days later, I saw this weird spot on the bottom left of one of the pictures. I don't think this is a cloud because of the orientation, shape and it is a little brighter than the rest of the clouds around. I didn't see a plane, birds or any kind of activity in the sky at the moment I was taking the pictures. This weird thing appears only on the third picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Canada Bright Light

    Ottawa -- We were driving north on the Highway 416 towards Ottawa before the Rideau river. My husband was driving and my son was in the back seat and yelled, "Look at that light! About 500 feet up in the cloudy sky was a very bright light. I realized it was way too low to be a star or plane, and it wasn't moving. It was not on a huge pole, like a light tower. We have gone down that highway many times. Before I could even finish my thoughts, it disappeared right before our eyes. Thanks to UFOINFO.com

    Japan Flashing Lights

    We were at home on August 24, 2011, and the window was open and I noticed red, blue, green, and white flashing lights hovering at first and then making some small circular movements. I called my family when I first noticed it and we agree it wasn't a plane or helicopter as we see these frequently around here. We had no fear and felt the lights were interesting. It finally descended slowly in the northern direction. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Mexico Disc

    Tulum -- In going through some photos of my trip to Mexico I saw a couple of strange things in a few of the pictures taken on August 8, 2011 at 12:40 PM. In picture 73, look just left of center. You will have to magnify it quite a bit. Note: Three photos were taken several minutes apart and all three show the same object. In one photo the object is close to the ocean and the other two it is high in the sky. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.ufosnw.com


    New Zealand Orb

    When I first noticed it, it was a streak of light above a cloud bank. I yelled out to my partner who took photos of it as it gradually began to resemble star. We took eleven photos as the object seemed to change shape, opacity, orientation and position. In the last photos we took the object was spherical in shape and had a shadow underneath, and had a disturbance around it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Russia UFOs in River

    Viyatka River -- Mike Newark writes, "It twists and turns west of the Ural Mountains where I dowsed any number of submerged alien craft in the river there. The craft were there for up to three days and I lost count of the alien hits. It's very isolated and a wonderful place to hide where people don't often visit and easy to come and go at will for the aliens. The river is cut into the mountains having steep sides where access is not very easy. It's thought the aliens use this river as a sort of car park, to save the journey back and forth to the Mother Ship/Moon. I never saw so many alien hits in one small area as the river is two/three hundred yards wide, but I get a hit every half mile! Why are there so many alien craft together, and is something about to happen? "Thanks to Mike Newark http://youtu.be/cVTWcJf16Pk

    UK Sightings

    Brecons, Wales -- I attach a strange image I took in Wales from August 18 to 25, 2011. We were attending my stepson's wedding and stayed for dog sitting duty while they took a short honeymoon to the Isle of Jersey. While in Wales we took a picnic to the Brecons and spent the whole afternoon there taking photographs of the sky and caught this strange pardon the word "Thingy" in not one but several photos. This almost living "whip" like entity is in pursuit of what looks like a sky squid. I have always wondered about life forms in the upper atmosphere and after seeing this I think there could be some truth to all the theories.

    Note: If anyone else has captured anything like this on camera please let me know. You can reach me at: capteasycheese@gmail.com Best to you from Essex, England.

    Thomas Finley USAF Ret.

    Warwickshire, ENGLAND -- I was sitting in my garden as usual around 10 PM, on August 23, 2011, and taking photographs of cloud formations. I saw a bright white light about 25 feet above a neighbor's house moving slowly towards my garden at 500 feet. I picked up my camera (NOKIA P100) and tried to take photos and video, but the camera isn't brilliant at night. The object slowly and silently flew above my garden rooftop and hovered so I managed to get a few stable photos.

    After a while the object disappeared. I had seen a UFO in the late 70's and I have always watched the skies for others since then. The second object appeared roughly the same place as the first around 10:15 PM, on the same night, but at first this one was orange. I took two photos and a video which lasts about 70 seconds. The photos are shaky as is the video, but you can get a rough idea of what the object looks like. To me it seemed as though it was pulsating bright orange and later it seemed to flash from orange to green and orange again. Eventually it got too distant to see it any more. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Cheshire -- Traveling in daylight on A51 towards Chester on August 8, 2011, my partner noticed a very bright ball of white light hovering in the sky. The light was too bright to be a plane. The ball hovered stationary in the sky for 50 seconds and then traveled directly towards Chester at phenomenal speed being lost from sight in a second. I had seen reports the day before of sightings on M11 and I asked him to describe exactly what he saw. The description he gave exactly matched what was filmed yesterday on the M11 He had seen an identical orb.

    We reported the sighting to the local police and doubt it was a Chinese lantern due to its high speed. I only wish I had had my glasses with me. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

     Mes commentaires au sujet de COBEPS (Patrick Ferryn) FYI

    Hi André,
    Thanks for your informed opinion. May I share it with other interested parties?
    You're welcome. Sure, feel free to share it.
    By the way, I saw you on the History Channel a few hours ago. A funny coincidence, isn't it? ;)
    I watched it yersterday; it's a pity he authors didn't use an excellent sequence where Prof. Meessen explained in a very clear and concise manner what happened in the Eupen area on Nov. 29th 1989 placing emphazis on what was so peculiar regarding the sightings. Considering what's happening now with the Petit-Rechain hoax viewers will certainly conclude that the whole Belgian wave will be reduce to the F16 radar case and a fake photograph. Too bad.  
    Sincerely,
    Patrick Ferryn

    Greetings,

    Please forgive the delay, we are very busy for now

    Hi:

    Please your informed opinion in connection with Patrick's admission that he faked his famous Petit-Rechain photograph 21 years ago. Did you have any doubts about its authenticity when Patrick presented it to you?
    Doubs... yes, of course. As well as all the specialists we went to see in order to understand what was on the picture. Unfortunatelly it's in French but you can check what was written about this in 1994 ( "Vague d'Ovni sur la Belgique", Vol. II). See some excerpts here annexed.
    And when exactly did he contact your organization?
    He did not. A TV journalist at RTL came to see us with a print of the photo that was given to her by the professional photographer who purchased the rights from the "witness". That's how SOBEPS discovered the case. At first glance I suspected a fake. But that was not sufficient. We interviewed the supposed witness and his girlfriend on August 3, 1990, on location. As it was hard to prouve the fake we decided to consult several experts in digital analysis. Their conclusions (published in our books) was that they did not succeed to prove the fake, which did not mean there was no fake at all.
    Did that happen well after the rash of credible sighting reports of triangular-shaped objects?
    The so-called Belgian UFO wave officially started on November 29, 1989 while the Petit-Rechain case occured some months after, allegedly early April 1990.
    Has Major-General Wilfried De Brouwer already reacted?
    Sure. We are in close contact with him.
    If so, how did he respond?
    We share the very same opinion. If the story told by the author of the photo is true, then it's case-closed.
    But this picture is only one element of a huge file and does not, in any case, challenge countless sightings reported between 1989 and 1991, particularely the 150 sightings recorded on November 29, 1990, still unexplained at the present day.

    Cheers,

    The Susskind Syndrome: Susskind and everyone else would acknowledge that, if aliens were visiting Earth, and the government was covering it up, it would be a big and important story. But because he and other bright but clueless intellectuals such as Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. Isaac Asimov take great pride in knowing about the important stories, and haven't known anything about flying saucers, then they must not be real. Anyone who thinks they are must not be very bright, and doesn't understand that such secrets couldn't possibly be kept from such smart people as Susskind, et al.

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

    Planet Earth for Earth Day 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 NASA Planetary Science Division, entitled "Would Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefit or 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 Hollywood blockbuster, a "standard fight-to-win conflict: a war of the worlds." But another might resonate more with fans of Al Gore's documentary film "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."

    But before we brace ourselves for alien annihilation, the report suggests things could turn in humanity's favor.

    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.

    Bud Hopkins dies at 80

    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

    MoonMineralMap.jpgThis 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."

    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 of NASA

    Mars Cavern What 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 Arizona. Thanks to John Schuessler

    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.

    Libya Gadhafi's Compound Captured

    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.

    North Carolina Moving Objects

    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 CMS

    Pennsylvania Flying Saucer

    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. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    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

    Worldwide UFO Sightings

    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.

    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

    Canada Highway of Tears: Vanishing Women in British Columbia

    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. [...]

    Northern Ireland Maneuvering Star

    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.

    Air Force Suspends “Christian Just War Theory” Class for Missile Officers
    | Print |
    Written by Dave Bohon
    Tuesday, 16 August 2011 16:13
    2
    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 they’re 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 John’s 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 group’s protest wasn’t about “attacking someone’s faith. What it’s about is remembering that in this country … we separate church and state. They don’t 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, “it’s 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 Weinstein’s 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 “wasn’t 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", premieres Thursday, Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. EDT.

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

    ·         Veronderstellingen

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

                - Zonder uitzondering tonen onze interviews aan dat de Battelle ingenieurs

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

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

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

    Daarvoor was het project een afleiding van hun voornaamste bezigheden;

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

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

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

    van zijn tijd besteedde aan het onderzoek.

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

    Battelle studie  en het UFO-onderzoek betrokken raakten.

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

                - Waarom zouden de schrijvers van het rapport  deze omstotelijke

    bevindingen genegeerd hebben ? De BATTELLE-staf waren ingenieurs en

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

    statische verwantschappen of verhoudingen te zoeken in data, die van

    mensen kwamen en niet van wetenschappelijke instrumenten.  Bijvoorbeeld

    het Battelle-team nam 12 van de meest betrouwbare ongeïdentificeerde

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    “er is weinig waarschijnlijkheid dat enige ONBEKENDEN waarnemingen

    een soort “vliegende schotel  vertegenwoordigenl”.

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

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

    wetenschappelijke “mindst”, het exclusief gebruik van statistische gegevens

    om te besluiten dat een gestructureerd tuig waargenomen was, essentieel

    onvoorstelbaar was voor hen.

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

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

    is het echte leven voorbeeld van hoe vooronderstellingen invloed hebben op

    het werk en het resultaat van wetenschappelijke projecten...

     

    ·        U2- UFO – Top Secret...

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

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

    Haines schreef:

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

    weerkaatsten de zonnestralen, vooral bij zonsopgang en zonsondergang. Zij

    verschenen vaak als vurige objecten voor de waarnemers beneden. De

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

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

    natuurlijk verschijnsel, zoals ijskristallen of temperatuurinversies. Door UFO-

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

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

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

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

    waarneming van het publiek.

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

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

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

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

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

    bedriegelijke verklaringen aflegde over de gerapporteerde waarnemingen

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

    aandacht en vooral om het buitengewoon gevoelig nationaal

    veiligheidsproject te beschermen.

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

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

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

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

    4. De MODERNE UFOLOGIE vanaf 1973...

    4.1. De UFO-flap van 1973.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    dienen van een systematische, nauwkeurige studie.

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

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

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

    worden, ook door de wetenschap.

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

    een methodische aanpak vergen en het opstellen van een uniforme

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

    UFO-gevallen.

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

    nutteloze inspanningen omdat ze één van de hierboven vermelde

    vaststellingen of alle puntenn verwerpen.

    5°. Verdere research zonder vastgestelde ideologie of vooringenomenheid de

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    1. Inleiding tot de Belgische Driehoeken

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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