Einstein, teleportatie en het raadselachtige 'Philadelphia Experiment'
Einstein, teleportatie en het raadselachtige 'Philadelphia Experiment'
Einstein, teleportatie en het raadselachtige 'Philadelphia Experiment' Geloof je in buitenaards leven? Denk je dat tijdreizen een mogelijkheid is? Als jouw antwoorden op beide vragen 'nee' is, lees dan verder over deze vermeende gebeurtenis in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het is huiveringwekkend!
Vragen zonder antwoorden Het universum verbergt veel mysteries. Een daarvan is of er intelligent leven aanwezig. Het volgende verhaal suggereert dat dit inderdaad het geval is en onthult daarnaast dingen die nog angstaanjagender zijn.
Experiment Volgens het boek 'The Expanding Case for the UFO' van Morris K. Jessup (een aan de University of Michigan opgeleide astronoom) heeft de Amerikaanse marine een experiment uitgevoerd dat bekend zou worden als het 'Philadelphia Experiment'.
Hoe gebeurde het? Verondersteld wordt dat het schip, gemeerd in de stad Philadelphia, in een flits licht, met haar bemanning en al, aan boord spoorloos verdween.
Getuigen Vermeend getuige van het incident was marinier Carl Allen. Hij beweerde eveneens te hebben gezien dat enkele bemanningsleden dood waren, versmolten met de scheepsromp.
EInstein's onderzoek Volgens het History Channel, ontwikkelde Albert Einstein een project van voor het Amerikaanse leger dat het fenomeen zou kunnen verklaren.
Einstein's onderzoek Volgens zijn unificatietheorie ('theorie van alles'), zou een elektromagnetisch apparaat hiervoor verantwoordelijk kunnen zijn. De VS wilde oceaan kunnen oversteken zonder dat het door de vijandelijke schepen waargenomen zou worden.
Onzichtbaar Volgens het History Channel, zou Einstein een experiment hebben ontwikkeld waarbij een sterk elektromagnetisch veld werd geïnstalleerd op het schip dat het 'onzichtbaar' zou maken voor radars en mijnen. Maar beweerd wordt dat het experiment een heel ander effect had.
Film De film 'The Philadelphia Experiment' is gebaseerd op het verhaal en werd uitgebracht in 1984. Jaren later zou de film opnieuw voor controverse zorgen.
Getuigenis Alfred Bielek kwam met nieuwe getuigenverklaringen en claimde dat de film hem zijn ervaringen tijdens het experiment opnieuw deed beleven. Volgens hem werden ze niet alleen naar een andere plek geteleporteerd, maar hebben ze ook door de tijd gereisd.
Buitenaards leven Door de ophoping van zoveel energie zou er volgens Bielek een doorgangsportaal in de ruimte zijn ontstaan door welke UFO's naar onze planeet zouden kunnen komen.
Bewijs? Alfred Bielek ging zelfs verder en zei dat de Amerikaanse marine hier niet alleen weet van had, maar dat het eveneens een buitenaards wezen gevangen had weten te nemen.
Verre van voorbij Zij die niet in deze samenzweringstheorie geloven wijzen op objectieve feiten die het weerspreken. Voor hen die er wel in geloven, zijn de antwoorden op het marineschip zelf te vinden.
Verslagen Volgens de verslagen is er geen buitengewone activiteit waargenomen en er is ook geen document dat kan bevestigen dat het schip in Norfolk is aangemeerd.
Onzichtbaarheid Er zijn gevorderde wetenschappelijke onderzoeken gedaan naar onzichtbaarheid die geen directe relatie hebben tot de theorie van Einstein.
FAA imposes flight restrictions around US Air Force Plant 42, home to classified aerospace development projects.
Reports of UFO sightings prompt concerns over espionage and drone interference in military installations.
Drones have become an increasing threat to aviation safety in recent years.
A series of unidentified flying object (UFO) reports around a highly classified US Air Force base in California have coincided with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposing temporary flight restrictions in the area. United States Air Force Plant 42 - home to advanced military aerospace development projects - has experienced a surge in suspected drone incursions within the past few months.
FAA flight restrictions around Plant 42
Residents of Palmdale, California have reported seeing several unidentified objects in the skies over the past few days, prompting action by the FAA. However, the larger story is that Plant 42 - an offshoot of Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) housing top-secret defense projects from the likes of Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrup Grumman - has reportedly seen an uptick in "uncrewed aerial systems" (UAS) activities in recent months.

As detailed in a report by The War Zone, Mary Kozaitis, Chief of Media Operations for the 412th Test Wing at Edwards Air Force Base, said the FAA restrictions were put in place "because of the increase in UAS activity." Other US bases have experienced suspected drone activity too, including a notable situation at Langley AFB in December, raising concerns over espionage.
According to Kozaitis,
"We have observed multiple UAS [uncrewed aerial systems] activities over Plant 42 during the last few months. The number of UASs fluctuated and they ranged in size and configuration."
The facility is home to Lockheed Martin's 'Skunk Works', or Advanced Development Programs (ADP) division, as well as other highly advanced aerospace projects, including the B-21 Raider stealth bomber program.
The sixth-generation bomber could be operational within four years.
Videos of alleged UFO sightings in Palmdale began showing up on social media on August 17th, although some clips have since been revealed as hoaxes. Nonetheless, the number of unexplained drone incidents that have been occurring around US military installations is a cause for concern.
US Navy ships have also reportedly experienced drone swarms, raising the likelihood that all of this is state espionage activity. The government has generally sought to downplay any incidents and has remained predictably quiet about the recent Palmdale sightings.
Drone challenges
Drones have become something of a nuisance for airports since affordable commercial drones hit the market. There have been several instances of drone interference at major global airports, including a notable situation over the 2018 Christmas holidays at London Gatwick (LGW) that forced hundreds of flight cancelations. Dublin Airport has also suffered from repeated drone incursions, eventually looking to specialist anti-drone technology as a solution.

Wayward drones pose a threat to aircraft as they are landing or attempting to take-off, and there have been many near misses over the years. In one particularly close call, an Emirates Airbus A380 suffered damage to its right wing after striking a suspected drone while landing in Nice.
The United States Air Force (USAF) and Lockheed Martin have announced the successful completion of tests involving their future intercontinental ballistic missile reentry vehicle, the Mk21A.
The planned test flight of the Mk21A vehicle took place over the Pacific Ocean on June 17, demonstrating a significant step forward in the development of future intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) technology.
The unarmed reentry vehicle was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, aboard a Minotaur I rocket at 11:01 p.m. Pacific Time.
In a press release, the American aerospace company said the test allowed engineering teams to evaluate several of the Mk21A’s technological capabilities and primary design components. The development of the Mk21A is part of a broader initiative that forms a critical component of the U.S. Air Force’s strategy to modernize its ICBM weapon systems.
“Test launches like these are crucial for protecting our nation’s defense,” said Col. Mark Shoemaker, Commander of Space Launch Delta 30, in a statement following Monday’s launch.
Presently, the Mk21A reentry vehicle represents the cutting-edge ICBM weapon technologies of the future, providing the basis for technologies that are already becoming integral to the U.S.’s deterrent posture.
Jay Watson, vice president of Strategic Reentry at Lockheed Martin, said his company’s more than six decades of involvement in the development of aerospace systems has “demonstrated exceptional performance in reentry technologies and a pioneering digital engineering approach on this program from its beginning.”
“We remain focused on delivering this capability for the warfighter as a trusted partner to the U.S. Air Force for ICBM reentry systems and modernization of the deterrent triad,” Watson said.
Monday’s test was part of an Engineering and Manufacturing Development contract the aerospace company presently has with the Air Force Nuclear Systems Center, based at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico.
The company says that the data it collected during the test flight will provide potentially crucial information that it will use in the ongoing development and future testing of the Mk21A.
Presently, the reentry vehicle’s development remains on schedule, with assistance from modelling and simulation and the implementation of advanced digital engineering capabilities that have helped Lockheed Martin maintain an economical approach to the system’s development.
The Mk21A’s unique design includes the arming and fuzing subsystem and support elements, which contribute to ensuring the vehicle’s operational performance and overall effectiveness.
“As global threats evolve, it’s essential to support these launches and maintain access to space to safeguard our nation,” Col. Shoemaker said following Monday’s launch.
Paranormal lore is replete with reports from witnesses who claim to have been visited by mysterious figures claiming to be with the government or the military and delivering threatening messages. Generically known as the Men In Black (or less commonly, Women in Black), they typically seek out witnesses to UFO sightings or other incidents that the government would prefer to keep hidden from the public. They seek to confiscate evidence and intimidate witnesses to prevent them from speaking about what they saw, warning that bad things might happen if they do and that loose lips can sometimes lead to far worse things than sinking ships. But is this something that really happens or could it all be misunderstandings on the part of the witnesses, or perhaps even hallucinations?
Rock-solid evidence is difficult to come by, but it does exist if you dig deeply enough. One example of a visit by the Men in Black can be found in the United States Government's own archival files. The encounter in question that started the entire affair took place on July 7, 1947, but it's not the one you are probably thinking of based on that famous (in ufology) date. In the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona, there lived a young man named William A. Rhodes, a professional musician, amateur photographer, and electronics hobbyist. Late in the afternoon of the day in question, Rhodes was headed out to the workshop he had constructed in his backyard when he heard a strange sound coming from the skies. Looking to the northeast, he observed what he described as a flat, elliptical, gray object 20 to 30 feet across descending from a great height in a spiraling flight path. Amazed, he rushed into his shed and retrieved his Kodak Brownie 120 box camera. He returned outside and took two photographs of the object, one as it reached its lowest, closest point of approach and a second as it zoomed upward and away at a 45-degree angle.
Rhodes quickly contacted the Arizona Republic newspaper, sending them his photographs and giving them an interview. These remain some of the best photos of a UFO from the period, at least in my opinion. (You can view the photos here.) The report briefly generated some excitement locally in the press and among the public. The reason many of us may never have heard of Rhodes' encounter, however, was that it took place only two weeks after Kenneth Arnold's famous "flying saucer" sighting and on the same day that the infamous Roswell, New Mexico incident hit the national news and absorbed the media's attention. What William Rhodes didn't know at the time was that United States military and government officials were paying very close attention to his story. He would find out about that soon enough.
The Rhodes sighting and photographic evidence would go on to be recorded in the Project Grudge Archives under the humble name of "Incident 40." (You can read the full government record at the link.) The government's investigation into Mr. Rhodes would stretch on for more than five years and lead to multiple lawsuits. But the portion of interest for this discussion unfolded quickly. Air Materiel Command at Wright Patterson Air Force Base had been contacting the newspapers that had spoken to the witness and collecting all of the publicly available information about the sighting. Barely a month after the sighting, Wright Patterson assigned Special Agent George Fugate Jr. from the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) to arrange an interview with Rhodes at this home. CIC wanted some backup from the FBI to assist with the interview and a man identified as Special Agent Brower (no first name given) was detailed to travel with Fugate and help him. The interview was scheduled for August 29, 1947.
This is where the story takes an interesting twist. On their way to Rhodes' home, Fugate instructed Special Agent Brower to not reveal his name or produce his badge or any ID for the witness. He was only introduced as "a representative of the United States Government.” Brower complied, though when he was later debriefed he recounted that he found the request to conceal his identity to be “a peculiar procedure." But he also concluded that it was "none of his business," so he accomplished the mission and returned to his regular assignment. The agents informed Rhodes that he would need to turn over any copies of the photos he had in his possession as well as the negatives. Rhodes turned over the photographs but informed the agents that the negatives were not in his home. He would retrieve them and they could return the next day to collect them, which they did. That would be the last time that William Rhodes would ever see the photos or the negatives.
Rhodes pursued various legal methods to have his property returned to no avail. The government insisted that they could not find the evidence, at one point suggesting that they were unsure if the witness had ever turned them over in the first place. The government was obviously lying because the linked archival records contained multiple material transfer receipts showing the negatives being delivered to various offices, with the results of various technical tests done upon them being recorded. They also recorded investigations into William Rhodes' "character," including checks of his credit rating and background investigations revealing that his mother was a Russian immigrant, calling his loyalty to the nation into question. They seemed to be preparing a case against the witness more than anything else. But there was no question that they were very much interested in the sighting. One expert who was very impressed with the evidence was J. Allen Hynek, who wrote in his report that "Incident 40" was “one of the most crucial in the history of these objects.” That was because the photographs Rhodes provided so closely matched the actual description of the objects seen by Kenneth Arnold, which were later incorrectly described as "flying saucers."
Returning to our original subject of inquiry, that's most of what we know about Incident 40, William Rhodes, and his mysterious visitors in August of 1947. This leaves us with an obvious, glaring question. Was the enlistment of Agent Brower to help extract what the government wanted from the witness a one-off, random strategy that Special Agent Fugate cooked up on the spur of the moment, or was this a technique that they were already employing and Brower was unwittingly called in to play that role when they were short-handed? Keep in mind that all of this was unfolding very early in what is now considered the "modern era" of ufology. No matter which answer is the truth, it probably doesn't matter. If this was the only time the government ever did this, that would make the incident a unicorn, and those are deemed impossibly rare for a reason. Few things only happen once in our universe, with the possible exception of the Big Bang, and even that has been called into question recently.
The technique worked, and if it worked once, why wouldn't you try it again? Having spent time working in both military and government operations myself, I can assure you that this would be a very typical military mindset. You don't abandon your game plan when you're in the process of running up your score. The archived files of Project Blue Book are filled with stories of the American government diving deeply into reports of UFOs and associated phenomena while working strenuously to assure the media and the public at large that there was "nothing to see here" and it was all swamp gas, balloons, or ball lighting (which doesn't even exist according to my own research). The major stumbling blocks in their efforts were the eyewitnesses, particularly those who may have captured compelling photographic or video evidence. Finding a way to shut them up and prevent the spread of potential "public hysteria" would have been high on their priority list.
It's not as if the American government (and most other governments, for that matter) don't have long-established track records of keeping secrets when they felt it was in their best interest. In the United States, consider what happened during the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. That went on for decades and hundreds of unwitting Black Americans died as a result, believing that they were "helping the government" find a cure. Plenty of people knew it was going on but they remained silent and hid it from the public and the press. The United States Army conducted tests of hallucinogenic drugs on its own soldiers starting in the 1950s for years without informing them. Again, this was all known and records exist confirming it to this day, but nobody was told. Should we honestly believe that these same power brokers wouldn't engage in some "Men in Black" tactics to conceal what they really knew about potential extraterrestrial life if they believed it would benefit their long-term goals?
It's not as if we don't have plenty of other highly credible accounts of people who have described run-ins with these shadowy military or government entities under similar circumstances, even if their own accounts didn't wind up in the national archives. These reports come to us from the earliest days of the modern UFO era to the present. Back in the 1950s, Albert Bender reported encounters with extraterrestrials and being subsequently visited by Men in Black who may or may not have even been human. He went on to write a book about it and became the subject of numerous documentaries. He said that he was visited by three men dressed in black suits who warned him to stop his UFO research. His claims were quickly dismissed by skeptics because he later described them as "floating about a foot off the floor," suggesting that they may have been aliens themselves, but who is to say that this point?
In 1947, around the same time that William Rhodes was having his own experiences, Harold Dahl reported seeing mysterious flying objects near Maury Island, Washington. He later claimed he was visited by a man in a black suit who threatened him and his family if he spoke about the incident. In 1968, UFO researchers Jack and Mary Robinson reported Men in Black searching their apartment while they were out after being warned to avoid the topic. A friend of theirs even captured a picture of a stereotypical MIB sitting in a car outside their home.
Much more recently, in 2008, residents of Stephenville, Texas, called in to local media and the police reporting strange lights in the sky. Some of those same witnesses later told reporters that they had been "visited by men in black suits who instructed them not to discuss what they had seen." In another event in 2014, a man going by the pseudonym "Jack Smith" reported that the MIB had accosted him in New Orleans, threatening his life unless he stopped investigating the topic. So what is the logical explanation for all of this? If you wish to argue that some of these people were simply confused or they were making up stories to attract attention or sell books, that's fine. That's part of human nature and it happens. But all of them after so many years? We've already documented here that the American government has done this at least once. The idea that they wouldn't have kept doing it is even less plausible than the proposal that every UAP ever reported was nothing more than an errant weather balloon or the planet Venus. My wife and I have seen five UFOs and I can assure you that they were neither of those things. At this point, I'm literally waiting to hear a knock on our door.
On July 2, 1997, Will Smithand Tommy Lee Jones teamed up as Agents Jay and Kay, respectively, to quietly control the large alien population living in New York City. The comic book-adapted buddy comedy spawned three sequels, which as a franchise went on to gross more than $1.9 billion. The original film in the series—which was released nearly 25 years ago—was the second-highest-grossing film of 1997, only overshadowed by Titanic’s immense success. Here are some intergalactic facts about the series.
1. Will Smith used to be known as “The King of the 4th."
Smith had back-to-back number one Fourth of July weekend hits in the mid-1990s: In 1996, Independence Day dominated the box office, and the next year Men in Black opened in first place. Though 1999’s Wild Wild West was one of Smith’s lowest openings, bringing in just $27,687,484 during its opening weekend, it was a strong enough total to top the box office charts. In 2002 and 2008, Men in Black II and Hancock, respectively, solidified Smith’s moniker.
2. Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld got his start as a cinematographer for the Coen brothers.
Sonnenfeld cut his teeth as a director of photography on the Coen brothers’Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, and Miller’s Crossing; he also worked with Penny Marshall on Big and Rob Reiner on When Harry Met Sally… and Miserybefore segueing into directing the Addams Family films and Get Shorty. Besides all three Men in Black films, Sonnenfeld also directed Smith in 1999’s Wild Wild West.

Before Sonnenfeld signed on to direct Men in Black, a director by the name of Les Mayfield was originally hired. Tommy Lee Jones joined the cast in the beginning, back when Chris O’Donnell was being considered for what eventually became Will Smith’s role. Much to Sonnenfeld’s surprise, he loved working with Jones.“I saw Tommy do a TV interview a few years ago, and he was so mean I remember thinking, ‘Thank god I never have to work with this jerk,”’ Sonnenfeld recalled to Entertainment Weekly. “But I ended up loving every minute of it. He can be difficult if you don’t have clear opinions, but we got along extraordinarily well.”
4. Some people think the Men in Black really exist.
Going back to Ufology in the 1940s and ’50s, several people wrote accounts and books about these so-called "men in black." The Mothman Prophecies author John Keel was the first person credited with using the "MIB" abbreviation in his writings. Albert K. Benderclaimed“he was visited by three men in dark suits who threatened him with imprisonment if he continued his inquiries into UFOs,” and Gray Barker wrote several nonfiction books featuring the men in black, including 1956's They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers and 1984's MIB: The Secret Terror Among Us.Barker’s sister, Blanch, recalled how he once told her why he wrote the books: “There’s good money in it.”
5. The Men in Black comic book writer also thinks they’re real.
In the early ’90s, Lowell Cunningham penned the Men in Black comic book series, which was based on his own ideas of the men in black agents. “I was taken with the whole idea of these powerful men who show up and keep the peace,” Cunningham told The New York Times in 1997. “I shaped the men in black to be active agents, out there responding to threats, cleaning them up if they’ve already occurred. They describe themselves as the thin black line between reality and chaos.” He goes on to say one day he saw a black car drive by him and thought, “That’s the kind of car the men in black would drive.”
6. Frank the pug got the diva treatment.
In real life, Frank was a pug named Mushu, who appeared briefly in the first film but had a more expanded role in the sequel. “I had to find a pug for the original Men in Black," Mushu’s owner, Cheryl Shawver, told The National Enquirer in 2002. "I saw an ad in the paper and bought Mushu for just a few hundred dollars. He travels by crate in business class with Cristie [the trainer]. He goes under the seat. He stays in the hotel room with her, sleeps on her bed. She orders his meals from room service: steak, chicken. He drinks only bottled water when he’s on the road. He’s a VIP!”
7. A Men in Black /21 Jump Street mash-up was discussed.

In the wake of the 2014 Sony hack, reports surfaced that among the leaked documents was an e-mail from former Sony studio head Amy Pascal stating that the studio was planning on mashing up the 21 Jump Street and Men in Black franchises for one star-studded movie. The premise would entail Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum playing cops, but it’s unclear if Jones and/or Smith would reprise their roles. In an e-mail to Pascal, Hill said: “Jump Street merging with MIB—I think that’s clean and rad and powerful.”
Back in 2013, it was reported a Men in Black 4was in the works, with 22 Jump Street scribe Oren Uziel writing the script. Though a fourth installment led by Smith and Jones hasn't materialized yet, 2019 did see the release of Men in Black: International with Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson as the leads.
8. BadAstronomy.com laid out the film’s scientific accuracies and inaccuracies.
The scientific website BadAstronomy.com broke down all of the astronomical incidents in the first Men in Black film and discussed what was good (a.k.a. accurate) about the movie and what wasn’t. For instance, Agent Kay says,“You want to stay away from that guy. He’s, uh, he’s grouchy. A three-hour delay in customs after a trip for 17 trillion miles is gonna make anybody cranky,” but BadAstronomy corrects the error: “The nearest known star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, which is roughly 25 trillion miles away. So 17 trillion still falls a bit short. Still, I give them some credit.”
9.Men in Black is still the highest-grossing action buddy comedy of all time.
Rush Hour 2 almost dethroned Men in Black from the top spot in 2001, but with a gross of $250 million, Men in Blackheld onto its position. 22 Jump Street comes in third, and Men in Black II and Men in Black 3 rank fourth and fifth on the list, respectively.
10. Basketball braces inspired Vincent D'Onofrio’s bug walk.
The actor, who played a bug-like alien named Edgar, talked about how he came up with his distinct walk in the movie. While watching bug documentaries helped, there was another ingredient that put it over the top.
“I was walking by a sporting goods store one day, and I saw these braces that the basketball players wear,” he said. “I went in and I tried one on and I realized you could lock it off, you could tape the hinges so that you can’t bend either way. So I bought two of them and I took them home and I put them on. So, I slightly bent my leg and locked off the braces so I couldn’t move either way, but it was slightly bent and I taped off both my feet and I tried to walk and it created this restrained, physical odd thing.”
11. Will Smith came up with the plot for Men In Black 3 while filming Men in Black II.
One night while on the set of Men in Black II, Smith told Sonnenfeld his idea for a third film.“At the beginning, something has happened and Agent Kay is missing and I have to go back to the past to go try to save young Agent Kay,” Sonnenfeld recalled to CNN. “In doing so, myself and the audience find out all sorts of secrets about the world that we didn’t even know were out there.” All Sonnenfeld could muster was, “Can we just finish this one?” Over a decade later, the plot to Men in Black 3 did revolve around time travel and saving a young Agent Kay, played by Josh Brolin.
12. The Men in Black theme song was Will Smith’s first solo hit.
Smith previously experienced success with his rap-duo group DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, but co-writing and singing the Men in Black theme song was his first taste of solo success. The song was featured on both the film’s soundtrack (which sold more than 3 million copies) and Smith’s debut solo album, Big Willie Style, which was released a few months after the film came out. The theme song won Smith a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance, and cemented Smith as a triple threat: a bona fide television and movie star, and a rapper.
13. Men in Black makeup artist Rick Baker announced his retirement in 2015.
Rick Baker won seven Oscars for his makeup effects during his career, including one for his Edgar the Bug work on Men in Black. In 2015, Baker announced his retirement.
“I said the time is right, I am 64 years old, and the business is crazy right now,” Baker told 89.3 KPCC about why he was getting out of the biz. “I like to do things right, and they wanted cheap and fast. That is not what I want to do, so I just decided it is basically time to get out.”
14. Will Smith and Rip Torn reprised their roles for an amusement park ride.
In 2000, Men in Black Alien Attack replacedBack to the Future Part III Locomotive Display when it opened at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando. Smith and Torn filmed a short video and supplied their voices, which play as the riders use laser guns to shoot animatronic aliens. At 70,000 square feet, it was the largest dark ride built for a Universal park at the time.
15.The Ray-Ban glasses worn in the movie almost didn’t get a shoutout.

The sunglasses Smith and Jones sport in the film are Ray-Ban Predator II glasses. According to a 1997 article in Promo magazine, a special coating was applied to the glasses to limit reflection, which meant removing the logo. Without the logo, nobody would know what type of glasses they were (Sonnenfeld edited out a previous line in the movie where Jones says “that’s why they call them Ray-Bans”).
Ray-Ban tried to convince the studio to reinstate the logo, but they refused. After some coercing, Smith compromised and name-dropped the company in the “Men in Black” song: “Black tie with the black attitude / New style, black Ray-Bans, I’m stunnin’, man.”The popularity of the movieand the song’s music video gave the $100 Predators a four- to five-fold increase in sales, and a boost to Ray-Ban’s entire catalog of shades.

Dr. Stuckelberger is a scientist and expert in international health. She holds a PhD and teaches at the University of Geneva and Lausanne. With over 20 years of experience, she’s a leading Swiss researcher who has worked with the WHO, UN, and EU on various health programs. That’s what her LinkedIn profile says. She has done numerous interviews which add credibility to her profile.
Two years ago, Dr. Stuckelberger interviewed Maria Zeee on Zeee Media. This interview was published on Rumble where she discussed many strange things, one of which was about CERN’s terrifying experiments. (Source)
Dr. Stuckelberger claimed that CERN is dealing with “Radio Nuclear research” and there are lots of Physicists, who are doing very strange experimentation. She said Physicists from the CERN who her “There are beings from portals, coming in and out.”
She said, “Yes. And they were saying, I mean, I met them at a dinner and there were two of them. And both said that, yes. They have, you know, secondhand proof that the people who, you know, they’re dealing with the boson of Higgs and the subatomic. So they have apparently in the bottom of the CERN, this portal, this door, where they are dealing with all the subatomic dimensions.”
Dr. Stuckelberger further said,
“They [Physicists] say there are 17 different dimensions of reality. That’s what those physicists and some others say.
There are more dimensions. We know the time-space, the tri-dimensional x, y, and z in a graphic. But then you have more dimensions, and they are playing with that. They’re using that. And they were a group, and they had a being.
They did not tell me more about who came that doesn’t resemble a human. And then they had another one. And they have proof because they left a scarf.
And now when you look at what is going on in the CERN, there is a fight from some of the military agencies, intel. They say that there is a fight on time. They’re trying to change time. I’m just saying that because as a scientist, you can not say something so important, because if you can deal with the little, the smallest energies on earth, you can imagine that you can go through other realms of dimensions.”
Dr. Stuckelberger’s claims are bizarre, and we have no proof to accept or deny them. The stories of interdimensional portals are primarily discussed in fiction, but some concepts in science touch on similar ideas.
Scientists discuss wormholes, theoretical structures in space-time that could, according to some interpretations of general relativity and string theory, potentially connect distant points in the universe or even different dimensions through a tunnel-like passage.
Perhaps there are different life forms on the other side… Who knows, but… Michio Kaku explains the concept of the Multiverse: There are invisible creatures among us (Perhaps a portal can make a way for them)
Regarding Dr. Stuckelberger’s claims, I found a strangely similar story posted on Reddit by a user claiming to be a top scientist at CERN around five years ago. I do not want you to take it seriously, but it does align with what Dr. Stuckelberger said.
This story was published in r/nosleep with 18 Million Subscribers. The synopsis of this user post says: A serious mistake may have endangered humanity. The scientist’s team worked with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to study particles.
On March 22, 2019, a small error in the LHC’s startup code led to an unusual yellow light filling the facility. The team noticed a dark, otherworldly orb that quickly vanished. Subsequent experiments with similar orbs led to dangerous results. A metal pen tested in one of the voids showed extremely high radiation, killing ten researchers. Drones sent into the void lost connection instantly.
In a recent test, instead of the expected light, a large black figure emerged from the void and communicated telepathically. It threatened to destroy humanity by invading their world.
This incident happened a week ago. The situation is dire, and there is concern for the safety of many.
“A black figure started to emerge from the large void. Although very humanoid this “thing” was anything but human. It was featureless, It gave off strong vibrations and was so massive it had to duck to exit the void. Many researchers broke down at the sight of this thing, and then it spoke. We all heard it clear as day in our heads, we all heard the blistering static sound as words began to play inside our minds.
“You creatures have no place peering into our world, your destruction was set in stone the moment you opened up the doorway into our dimension, we will exterminate your kind as your knowledge of our existence threatens us, this is not a warning, but a promise.”
In 2022 Vice published this article in….”CERN Causing Collective Mass Delusion by Creating Portals to Alternate Dimensions?”
The theory states that in 2012, CERN scientists were attempting to study the Higgs Boson particle when something went wrong. According to the theory, their experiments caused a rift in the space-time continuum, destroying our universe and moving us into a parallel universe. This new universe is an experimental one, belonging to some unknown entity. It is believed that this is the cause of the so-called “Mandela Effect” and other paranormal activities. The theory further states that CERN used quantum entanglement to bridge the gap between the two universes and move us into this new one.
The theory concludes that the current universe we inhabit is not our own, but rather an experimental universe belonging to some unknown entity. This entity, it is believed, is manipulating the universe to study the effects of their experiments. This is the cause of the Mandela Effect and other paranormal activities.
Clara Nellist, a particle physicist who works on CERN’s ATLAS explained this phenomenon and said she understands where people are coming from.
“I completely get the curiosity and trying to understand the Mandela Effects—people have a strong memory of what they think something was, and then to see a contrast with that memory can be quite jarring … I think we should [to some extent] be honored and happy that we’re capturing the imagination of people because we’re at the forefront of science. People are interested in what we’re doing.”
“In my opinion, some of the things being misremembered make more sense as what they should have been,” she said. “I can see how more people remember the spelling of something in a certain way because it’s more intuitive.” This is a popular theory for why people remember “Berenstein Bears” vs “Berenstain Bears”—it just makes more sense as “Berenstein,” because Berenstein is a somewhat common name.
Nellist said that, while the science CERN is doing at the LHC is groundbreaking, they are simply recreating “collisions that happen in our atmosphere all the time” in a controlled environment. “For billions of years this has been happening in our universe,” she said.
The questions that theoretical physicists are trying to answer are in some ways related to the questions that conspiracy theorists and hobby researchers are trying to answer, though they are going about it in wildly different ways. Legitimate scientists, quantum physicists, and theoretical physicists have hypothesized multiple universes, wormholes, teleportation, the idea that reality is a simulation, additional dimensions, and so on. Learning more about basic physics to fill in gaps in knowledge and understand how some of these phenomena may work is part of CERN’s mission, but that doesn’t mean CERN is causing these things to happen.
A few days before his mysterious death, the 35th US president John F. Kennedy demanded that the CIA provide him with a UFO dossier. From another archival note by John Kennedy, it became known that he wanted to offer the USSR a joint program for space exploration. Almost half a century after the death of John F. Kennedy, sensational details were revealed regarding his latest orders. It turned out that just 10 days before his death, the 35th president of the United States requested top-secret information about flying ships from special services.
According to the Daily Mail, Kennedy sent two requests: one to the CIA, the other one to NASA. The circulars had been useless in the archives of these departments for many years, but in the end, on the request made by author William Lester under the Freedom of Information Act, the CIA had to release the documents to him.
Author William Lester said the CIA released the documents to him under the Freedom of Information Act after he requested while researching for his new book ‘A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier.’
While working on a new book ‘A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier,’ the writer got the opportunity to familiarize himself with the contents of archival materials. Studying those documents, the author came across two sensations at once.
In a letter dated November 12, 1963, to the Director of the CIA, John F. Kennedy demanded a detailed report on the secret materials of the department devoted to UFOs and other paranormal phenomena. In another one, that was addressed to the administration of the National Space Agency (NASA), the president expressed a desire to cooperate with the Soviet Union in the field of space research and even join forces in space exploration.
Of course, there could be no talk of any opening of the Iron Curtain: after the Caribbean crisis, relations between the two nuclear powers became extremely heated. However, according to Lester, the coincidence of the two documents in time is far from accidental. The fact is that flying ships had repeatedly been seen over the territory of the Soviet Union. Kennedy rightly feared that the USSR might regard the appearance of unidentified objects in the sky above its territory as military aggression.
“I think this is one of the reasons why he wanted to get his hands on this information and get it away from the jurisdiction of NASA so he could say to the Soviets,” said Lester.
”The government regularly declassifies documents after a certain amount of time goes by, and then you have to file a request for those documents,” Lester told Life’s Little Mysteries, a sister site of Space.com. “When I was in the process of filing, those letters had just become declassified and released to the public.” This happened in 2006 or 2007, Lester said. “At the time, I think other people were getting them too.”
The top secret memo hasn’t turned up anywhere else besides Lester’s book, however, and some archivists question its authenticity. A research technician at the JFK Library in Boston, who asked not to be named, was unable to find a carbon copy of it in its presidential archive, which holds copies of all of JFK’s letters.
“We did some research into the presidential papers to try to find any evidence of the Nov. 12, 1963, letter to the director of the CIA, John McCone,” the technician told Life’s Little Mysteries. Despite the fact that JFK kept carbon copies of all his letters, even the classified ones, “in searching through the president’s office files — CIA, NASA and National Security files — we could find no evidence of this memo or anything like it.”
“Something is a little odd about it,” the technician said. “It is sanitized in very odd places: the director’s name, the top heading of the document (which usually distinguishes which agency is generating it) and then the tiny “top secret” print at the top of letter. Top secret items are usually stamped in large dark ink on the letter.“
The publicized documents once again convinced ufologists that the president was killed because of his interest in UFOs. According to paranormal researchers, behind the tragic death of Kennedy were people who were not interested in the head of state who was wildly popular among ordinary Americans, to learn the truth about UFOs.
Supporters of the conspiracy theory in connection with newly discovered circumstances recall other documents: the sensational “burned memo.” In 1999, ufologist Timothy Cooper was given a certain document with charred fields. The papers contained internal correspondence of senior CIA officers. In particular, the director of intelligence services drew the addressee’s attention to the fact that ‘Lancer’(Kennedy’s Secret Service code name) was too actively making inquiries, and his curiosity needed to be stopped.
It was reported that this top-secret file, subject to destruction, was saved from the fire by a CIA officer who served in the department from 1960 to 1974. The authenticity of the document was repeatedly questioned, and its last owner even turned to forensic experts for a professional opinion. However, the examination results have not yet been made public.
UFO investigator Robert Wood said he has tested the paper it was printed on, the ink age, watermarks, font types and other markings. He said: ‘I hired a forensics company to check the age of the ink and check several other things that you can date, using the same techniques you’d use in a court of law.’
There's some interesting paintings inside the Vatican ... and it's worth taking a closer look at what's being depicted in the sky.
TMZ Studios has a new series, "Strange & Suspicious," now airing on a dozen FOX stations, where we explore unexplained and downright weird stories, and now we're combing over the artwork inside the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church.
In several paintings that are centuries old, there are some mysterious shapes in the heavens above ... sparking comparisons to flying saucers.
The potential references to extraterrestrial craft are hidden in plain sight ... some are subtle, and some are seemingly obvious ... like the objects appearing to shoot beams down from the sky.
Of course, there were no flying objects of any kind way back when painters were creating these works ... making this phenomenon even more interesting.
Some inside the Vatican are open to the possibility of alien life ... making these mysterious paintings worth another look.
We try to answer all these UFO questions and more on "Strange & Suspicious" ... plus bizarre phenomena and true crime.
A group of scientists have been trying to understand what is causing a radar blip in the middle of Utah wilderness that is a notorious 'UFOhotbed'.
In a series of experiments that see the group using both ground-penetrating radar and rockets, they try to determine what may also be causing the electromagnetic disturbance from above.
The experiments were set at the 512-acre Skinwalker Ranch in northeastern Utah in the Uinta Basin.
The area is notorious for UFO sightings and other paranormal-related mysteries.

In a series of experiments that see the group using both ground penetrating radar and rockets, they try to determine what may also be causing the electromagnetic disturbance from above
The scientists used radar in order to detect what may be behind a specific anomaly they're repeatedly experienced at a specific area of the ranch called The Triangle.
The ground penetrating radar (GPR) they used sends radio signals into the ground, but some are also sent up into the sky, enabling the detection of objects that might be lingering above.
The team noted how in the past, when they were scanning the area using GPS, there were times when all data would suddenly be lost, and the GPS signal would give readings that were below the surface of the ranch.
So far, the team have been unable to identify what is behind the sudden blocking of the GPS signal.
The history of Skinwalker Ranch is steeped in mystery. It's been called a supernatural place while others say it's 'cursed'
The team used ground penetrating radar to analyze both above and below the ground
Rockets were fired into the sky in an attempt to detect any objects overhead

Rockets were fired into the sky only for the same GPS dead spots to appear as in previous experiments
In a curious result, the rocket appeared to head directly into the mesa despite being fired upwards
In this latest episode of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, the scientists attempt to uncover more of the mysteries of the area.
Rockets were fired into the sky only for the same GPS dead spots to appear as in previous experiments.
While a second team conducted GPR surveys, a similar phenomena was uncovered with major blips picked up at the exact same time as the rocket launch, some 40ft in the air.
Although the team had been attempting to uncover an underground tunnel that may lie below, the scientists were perplexed when the data they received appeared to have been altered by an unknown force.
The scientists used all manner of equipment including rockets, cameras and radars
Despite the rockets being fired directly upwards, the readings showed it being fired into the mesa
The readings surprised scientists who were analyzing the results in real time
A radar blip appeared to occur at a spot that had been pinpointed previously, 40ft in the air
There appeared to be a disturbance in the radar and GPS readings for no obvious reason
The point where the rocket appeared to go inside the mesa is where a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) was seen entering and exiting the area on a previous occasion
Only seconds after launch the data produced some unusual readings appearing to show that the rocket had gone directly into the mesa, despite them witnessing from the ground that the rocket had fired straight up, to a height of around 2000ft.
However, the point where the rocket appeared to go inside the mesa is where a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) was seen both entering and exiting the area on a previous occasion.
The team at first believe they may have uncovered some sort of electromagnetic disturbance, but others in the group say an object was discovered that appears and disappears if only for a few seconds.
Earlier this month, the team believed they had exposed a possible 'portal' on the haunted ranch, where the team has witnessed a mutilated cow who died under mysterious circumstances.
The discovery adds to the mystique surrounding Skinwalker Ranch, where past events have included encounters with mutilated cattle and other unexplained phenomena.

Rancher Terry Sherman, who bought the property in the 90's became so spooked that he sold the property and moved his family of four away.
Sherman found several heads of his cattle mutilated after purchasing the land in 1996.
Additionally, Sherman witnessed unexplainable encounters, one in which Sherman saw a wolf-like creature three times the size of a normal wolf.
Another researcher saw an bizarre creature with piercing yellow eyes surveilling him from a tree, among other mysterious instances.
The ranch later became the focus of Pentagon investigations into UFOs through programs like the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).
In 2020, a bombshell report in Popular Mechanics describes the Pentagon's UFO program on 'Skinwalker Ranch.'
Using black-budget money under the auspices of the Defense Intelligence Agency, in 2008 AATIP contracted private space technology company Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) to provide the government with technical reports and research into UFOs, according to the magazine.

BAASS controlled 'Skinwalker Ranch' in Utah - which the company proposed as a 'possible laboratory for studying other intelligences and possible interdimensional phenomena.'
Two previously unreleased technical reports submitted through the contract were published in full or in part by Popular Mechanics, revealing research into the medical effects of contact with anomalous flying objects and the frequency of unexplained phenomenon near nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile silos.
In 2008, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) awarded a $10 million contract to BAASS under a contracting program known as the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP).
A lifelong enthusiast of space travel and the paranormal, Bigelow purchases the Skinwalker Ranch, after various strange and paranormal events were reported there.
Bigelow proposed to use the ranch to study paranormal phenomenon, and a visit to the ranch by a DIA scientist in 2007 may have inspired the creation of the AATIP, according to Popular Mechanics.
Former AAWSAP contractor and astrophysicist Eric Davis shared what colleagues had told him of the DIA scientist's experience in an interview with researcher Joe Murgia.

'In the living room of the former NIDS double wide observation trailer/staff quarters. A 3D object appeared in mid-air in front of him and changed shape like a changing topological figure. It went from pretzel-shaped to Möbius strip shaped. It was 3D and multi-colored. Then it disappeared,' he said.
According to former Senator Harry Reid, whatever happened at Skinwalker was enough to convince the DIA to seriously investigate paranormal and UFO phenomena.
'Something should be done about this. Somebody should study it.' I was convinced he was right,' Reid told New York Magazine.
A 2009 BAASS report commissioned by the Pentagon mentions Skinwalker Ranch in Utah as a 'possible laboratory for studying other intelligences and possible interdimensional phenomena.'
In 2016, Bigelow sold Skinwalker Ranch for $4.5 million to 'Adamantium Holdings', a shell corporation whose true owners have never been traced.
After this sale, all roads leading to the ranch were blocked, the perimeter was secured with cameras and barbed wire, and signs went up warning strangers not to approach.
Anyone who approached the ranch after reported being immediately confronted by guards and ordered to leave.
Over the years, much has been published about the strange things that happen on the dark side of the moon.
The far side of the moon has been a mystery since the dawn of the space age. But is it just a barren, crater-filled wasteland?
Shocking claims from astronauts, whistleblowers, and classified documents suggest there's more to the story. Eerie sounds, inexplicable sightings, and covert missions point to something astounding hidden from public view.
Before delving into the evidence, which ranges from Apollo-era transcripts to insights from modern military insiders, it's worth noting an intriguing paper recently released by Harvard. Titled "The Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis. This paper proposes among other themes that UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) might be the result of activities by intelligent beings hidden here on Earth eventually underground or in nearby areas such as the moon. (Notion: The dark of the side of the moon could be an excellent place to hide.)
But the Harvard paper has suddenly disappeared... though we saved you a copy: https://bit.ly/4b1xk11
The implications are staggering, hinting at a secret history beyond our world.
77 Years after the Roswell Incident, What Have We Learned?

77 Years after the Roswell Incident, What Have We Learned?
For many Americans today, the name “Roswell” will inevitably conjure up images of flying saucers crash landing in the remote New Mexico desert; bald, diminutive aliens with gigantic eyes; and bizarre theories about government conspiracies and cover-ups. The events of 75 years ago have spawned books, movies, and TV shows, and the so-called “Roswell Incident” has attained the status of an American myth. To celebrate the 75th anniversary, here is a brief look at some of the many government publications available in Sycamore Library and on the Internet that provide insight into this intriguing story.
THE ROSWELL INCIDENT
In 1947, beginning in the spring and continuing into the fall, a rash of sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were being reported across the United States, with the maximum number of these sightings occurring during the period from mid-June to early July.
On July 7, 1947, while interest in UFOs was at its height, W.W. “Mac” Brazel appeared at the office of sheriff George Wilcox in Roswell, New Mexico and described the wreckage of a metal disk and some other materials, including tinfoil, broken wood beams, strips of rubber, and thick paper, which he had discovered a few days earlier on the Foster Ranch where he worked, about 75 miles northwest of Roswell. Brazel had heard stories about UFO sightings on the radio recently and wondered if the debris he found might be part of one of those “flying saucers” everyone was talking about.
Sheriff Wilcox contacted Major Jesse A. Marcel, an officer in the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) intelligence office, about Brazel’s discovery. Marcel drove to the sheriff’s office to inspect the wreckage, then went out to the ranch with Brazel to collect as much of the debris as they could.
The next day, July 8, the Public Information Office issued a press release, prematurely announcing that the Army Air Force had recovered a “flying disk.” The news media went wild, for this was perhaps the first time the government had ever taken reports of alien aircraft seriously.
Meanwhile, military police were sent to the sheriff’s office to collect the wreckage, which was flown to Eighth Air Force headquarters in Fort Worth (later known as Carswell Air Force Base) for inspection. Officers and staff in Texas determined that the objects were remnants of a weather balloon and its attached metallic radar target.
A few hours after the previous announcement, the RAAF issued a correction, announcing that the debris found at Foster Ranch was from a weather balloon, not a flying saucer. Immediately suspicion was aroused that the government was covering something up.
Years later it turned out there had indeed been a cover-up, but it had nothing to do with aliens or flying saucers from outer space.
FBI REPORT ON ROSWELL
On July 8, 1947, the Dallas Office of the FBI issued a one-page teletype summarizing the Roswell incident. This document relays information from the U.S. Air Force that a hexagonal object appearing to be a “flying disk” had been recovered in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico. The object was described as being attached by cable to a balloon about 20 feet in diameter, resembling a weather balloon. Because of the interest generated by the recent UFO sightings, the disk and balloon were transported to Wright Field in Ohio for examination.
This document is available on the FBI website in their FOIA library known as The Vault. Several more FBI investigations of UFOs conducted from 1947 to 1954 are also included in The Vault.
PROJECT BLUE BOOK
From 1947 to 1969, a total of 12,618 sightings of UFOs were collected and investigated by the U.S. Air Force. The project, known as Project BLUE BOOK, was headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
As a result of several private and governmental investigations and studies conducted during this time period, the members of the Air Force running Project BLUE BOOK reached the following conclusions:
No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force had ever given any indication of threat to our national security.
There has been no evidence that sightings categorized as “unidentified” represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present-day scientific knowledge.
There has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as “unidentified” are extraterrestrial vehicles.
On December 17, 1969, the Secretary of the Air Force announced the termination of Project BLUE BOOK. The documentation collected is now in the possession of the U.S. National Archives, and anyone with any further testimony regarding UFOs is referred to one of the many private agencies and individuals that are currently researching such phenomena.
The following blog posts provide more information about records in the National Archives pertaining to UFOs:
In early 1987, British UFOlogist Timothy Good claimed to have been given a highly classified government document indicating that a secret committee of senior U.S. officials called the “Majestic 12” had investigated, and then covered up, the 1947 discovery of a crashed flying saucer containing the bodies of four humanoid aliens.
After this sensational story had been publicized through various news outlets, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations referred the Majestic 12 document to the Dallas FBI to determine whether it was still classified. The Office of Special Investigations announced on November 30, 1988 that the document was “bogus,” and FBI Headquarters instructed Dallas to close the investigation.
GAO REPORT
In February 1994, the General Accounting Office (GAO), acting on the request of Steven H. Schiff, a New Mexico Congressman, initiated an audit to attempt to locate any government records connected with the Roswell incident, and to determine if those records had been properly handled according to established procedures for reporting air accidents.
An extensive search ensued for government records related to the crash near Roswell, and a wide range of classified and unclassified documents dating from July 1947 through the 1950s were examined. These records came from numerous organizations in New Mexico and elsewhere throughout the Department of Defense, as well as from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the National Security Council.
In 1947, Army regulations required that air accident reports be maintained permanently, and although none of the military services filed a report on the Roswell incident, there was no requirement in 1947 to prepare a report on the weather balloon crash.
Although some of the records concerning Roswell activities had been destroyed, there was no information available regarding when or under what authority the records were destroyed.
Only two government records originating in 1947 have been recovered regarding the Roswell incident:
A 1947 Federal Bureau of Investigations record revealed that the military had reported that an object resembling a high-altitude weather balloon with a radar reflector had been recovered near Roswell.
A 1947 Air Force report noted the recovery of a flying disk that was later determined by military officials to be a radar-tracking balloon.
PROJECT MOGUL: THE REAL COVER-UP
In July 1994, the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force concluded an exhaustive search for records in response to the General Accounting Office (GAO) inquiry about the “Roswell Incident.” After reviewing its records, the Air Force concluded that the debris recovered from the ranch on July 7, 1947, was a weather balloon, but it was not being used strictly for weather purposes. In early 1995 the results of this inquiry were published in a document nearly 1000 pages long, entitled The Roswell Report: Fact vs Fiction in the New Mexico Desert.
An examination of now declassified technical and progress reports revealed that the Air Force had been conducting an experimental, top secret balloon project, called by the code name Project MOGUL, at the nearby Alamogordo Army Airfield (now Holloman AFB) during the summer of 1947. The Air Force admitted in the 1990s that they had been using this project to develop and test a surveillance device designed to fly over nuclear research sites in the Soviet Union and spy on them.
Project MOGUL was a then-sensitive, classified project, whose purpose was to determine the state of Soviet nuclear weapons research. This was the early Cold War period, and the U.S. government was concerned about the possibility that the Soviets were secretly developing an atomic weapon behind their closed borders. As early as 1945, Dr. Maurice Ewing of Columbia University had proposed to General Carl “Tooey” Spaatz (supervisor of the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima) that a connected string of high-altitude balloons equipped with microphones could be sent floating over the Soviet Union to pick up sound waves and monitor any attempts by the Soviet government to test their own atomic weapon.
The weather-balloon story put out in 1947 had actually been a cover for this top secret spy operation, but only after the documents had been declassified in the post-Cold War era could the true cover-up finally be revealed.
CASE CLOSED
The 1995 Roswell Report dealt only with the material recovered from the first reported incident near Roswell, which had occurred in 1947.
In the decades after the Roswell Incident there were many more reports of UFOs, including two more that occurred near Roswell. Some of these new reports mentioned alien bodies that had been discovered among the crash debris. These bodies were not a part of the original reports of 1947, so they were not discussed beyond a brief mention in the Air Force’s report, but at some point dim memories and inaccurate retellings had caused the various reports to become mixed up and conflated, so that the original 1947 incident was associated not just with the idea of a flying saucer landing in the desert, but also with rumors of dead aliens and more government cover-ups. In 1995 there was even a film released of an alleged “alien autopsy” that took place in connection with the 1947 crash.
In order to respond to these later allegations, the Air Force published a 1997 update to their 1995 report. The update was confidently titled The Roswell Incident: Case Closed. Together, these two reports provide the definitive U.S. Army statement on what really happened during the Roswell incident.
In the final report, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, Air Force researchers investigated reports of alien bodies, and concluded that in every case there was a logical explanation much more mundane than treating them as evidence of the misadventures of extraterrestrial visitors. In almost every case, the fantastic stories collected by UFO theorists and enthusiasts proved to be misinterpretations—intentional or inadvertent—of actual operations and tests carried out by the U.S. Air Force in the 1950s. In some cases, the “alien” bodies were in reality anthropometric test dummies, sometimes damaged, used in scientific experiments involving high altitude balloons. In other cases, there were real bodies, but they were human Air Force personnel who had been injured or killed in the line of duty, not creatures from outer space.
In the public eye and in the popular media, UFOs have come to be associated primarily with “flying saucers” and other visits from extraterrestrial beings. For the armed forces and other government agencies, an unidentified flying object (now more likely to be referred to as “unidentified aerial phenomenon,” or UAP) is thought of as a matter of national security, and is more likely to be an airplane, drone, or other espionage device controlled by a member of an enemy government on Earth. This may not be as sensational as a visit from outer space, but it may be closer to the truth.

For more than half a century, incredible information about Nikola Tesla has been kept secret, and only recently the FBI declassified document revealed this data, which indicates that a cult scientist was once brought to Earth from Venus. Tesla’s mind was almost too great for the limitations of his time’s technology.
These things make it clear that Tesla was a remarkably intelligent man who was far ahead of his time. In fact, it has been said by many that his inventions were between 300 and 1,000 years ahead of time. If it were not for Tesla’s inventions, the world as we know it would be nearly half a century behind where we are today in terms of technological advancement. This has, understandably, led many to wonder about Tesla’s origins. Was he even from this planet?
According to information from the FBI documents, Nikola Tesla was an alien. In the archives of the FBI’s official website, there is a very mysterious document that contains a very unusual statement regarding Nikola Tesla. In addition, the declassified FBI dossier contained information about a certain George Washington Van Tassel, who was engaged in ufology and also worked on the Douglas, Hughes, and Lockheed planes in the 30s and 40s.

This declassified FBI document known as the “Interplanetary Sessions Newsletter“, written on June 14, 1957, seems to suggest that these notions may not be as unbelievable as they sound. In fact, this document seems to suggest that Tesla was originally from the planet Venus. It read in part:
“The Space People have visited the Tesla engineers many times, and have told us that Tesla was a Venusian, brought to this planet as a baby, in 1856, and left with Mr. and Mrs. Tesla in a remote mountain province in what is now Yugoslavia.”
Margaret Storm had been assigned to certain work with the Space People, as follows: She wrote a book – Return of the Dove – a story of the life of Nikola Tesla, a scientist, and the part his inventions played in the New Age. Much of the data for this book has been supplied to Mrs. Storm through transcripts received on the Tesla set, a radio-type machine invented by Tesla in 1938 for Interplanetary Communication.
Tesla died in 1943 and his engineers did not build the Tesla set until after his death. It was placed in operation in 1950 and since that time the Tesla engineers have been in close touch with space ships. The Space People have visited the Tesla engineers many times, and have told us that Tesla was a Venusian, brought to this planet as a baby, in 1856, and left with Mr. and Mrs. Tesla in a remote mountain province in what is now Yugoslavia.”

Additionally, Margaret Storm, a woman who was tasked with writing a book on Tesla’s remarkable life, was reportedly given information through a device that the scientist created in 1938 that was said to allow for “interplanetary communication”. Allegedly, Storm even had contact with these so-called “Space People”. In an interview in May of 1959, Storm reported that Tesla was a Venusian saying:
“Tesla was born onboard a spacecraft and brought to this planet… and placed in the care of Mr. & Mrs. Tesla.”
Storm claimed that Tesla was frequently in contact with his fellow Venusians, even visiting him from time to time. In the interview, she states that Tesla had many visitors who arrived in spaceships and that “most of them have come from Venus”.
According to the “Interplanetary Sessions Newsletter”, Margaret Storm had been “assigned to certain work with the Space People as follows: She is writing a book- Return of the Dove- a story of the life of Nikola Tesla, scientist, and the part his inventions will play in the new age”. Further, much of the information that Storm used to complete her book was given to her through communication with the Space People. The now-declassified FBI document goes on to say:
“Much of the data for this book has been supplied to Mrs. Storm through transcripts received on the Tesla set, a radio-type machine invented by Tesla in 1943 and his engineers did not build the Tesla set until after his death. It was placed in operation in 1950 and since that time the Tesla engineers have been in close touch with space ships.”
It’s tough to know why Margaret Storm wrote her book and said Tesla was from Venus. But by checking the FBI document that’s not secret anymore, we might get a hint about the smart people behind all this.
“Mrs. Storm will present the material to certain small groups in the New York area within the next few weeks, and probably Space Groups in other sections will also co-operate by offering it to their members. Our world situation is not hopeless by any means, although the Space People bluntly inform us that as a race we are too “lazy”; spiritually we must become more potent if we are to hold this planet together against the efforts of the dark forces to blow it to bits”.

Geheimzinnig Chinees ruimtevliegtuig brengt onbekend object in baan rond de aarde
Floris Poort
Het Space Shuttle-achtige ruimtevliegtuig van China heeft tijdens zijn derde missie een onbekend object in een baan rond de aarde gebracht.
China troefde de VS eind vorig jaar af met de derde lancering van zijn herbruikbare ruimtevliegtuig. Inmiddels is het al ruim 165 dagen in een baan rond de aarde, en sindsdien stoot het voertuig allerlei signalen uit, en worden objecten losgelaten. Astronoom Jonathan McDowell van het Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics denkt meer te weten.
Onbekend object
"Een nieuw object (59884/2023-195G) is gecatalogiseerd in verhouding met het met het Chinese CSSHQ-ruimtevliegtuig", aldus McDowell. "Het lijkt rond 1900 UTC 24 mei te zijn uitgeworpen", schrijft de astronoom over het onbekende object. Het zou volgens de wetenschapper een satelliet, of 'een ander stuk hardware' kunnen zijn. Mogelijk wordt er al hardware afgestoten voordat de landing wordt ingezet, of wordt met het object geoefend voor bepaalde manoeuvres of het terughalen van satellieten.
"Dat gebeurde bij de eerste vlucht ook", schrijft McDowell over een dergelijke test. Het ruimtevliegtuig werd in 2020 voor het eerst getest, toen voor twee dagen. In 2022 steeg 'ie nogmaals op, en bleef het vaartuig 276 dagen in een baan om de aarde.
Gebaseerd op Amerikaans ontwerp
Het Chinese ruimtevliegtuig lijkt volgens experts op de Boeing X-37B die door de VS wordt ontwikkeld. Dat 'vliegtuig' lijkt op een miniatuur-Space Shuttle en heeft sinds 2010 al zes missies achter de rug. Tijdens zijn laatste missie, die in november 2022 ten einde kwam, verbleef het 908 dagen lang in een baan rond de aarde. Experts denken dat het ontwerp van het Chinese vliegtuig gebaseerd is op de X-37B.
Throughout human history, some people possessed an immense amount of knowledge in various fields. A Russian man named Genrikh Mavrikiyevich Ludvig had a vast knowledge of ancient culture. He was an outstanding architect, engineer, and researcher in ancient languages. Ludvig was even compared to Leonardo da Vinci. He is apparently known for getting access to secret Vatican archivesand purportedly found information on ancient aliens.
Professor Ludvig’s story was first revealed by a very popular Russian newspaper “Sovershenno Sekretno” in 2011 in an article titled “Worlds of Professor Ludvig [English translation]” by Vladimir Kucharyants. The author described Ludvig as overweight, bald with a huge forehead and a Scandinavian beard. His blue bulging eyes looked very intent under thick gray eyebrows. He used to get in trouble with the Stalin regime many times, and the Soviet federal agency (NKVD) declared him as an agent of the VaticanVatican counterintelligence, sending him to concentration camps in 1938.
Professor Ludwig
Kucharyants recalled Professor Ludvig’s first lecture in the 1960s that sounded interesting at first and then confusing for everyone by mixing linguistics, ancient and medieval history and architecture, plant symbolism, types of labyrinths, phenomena from the history of science. Though the author was Ludvig’s student and researched a lot about him, he is still unaware who Genrikh Ludvig really was: a phenomenal encyclopedist or a mystic. He wrote that after meeting with the professor his life changed, which allowed him to see the world from a different perspective.
Ludvig’s bizarre claims came from reading Vatican secret archives (now known as Vatican Apostolic Archive). It is fifty-three miles of shelving that holds 35,000 volumes of catalog and 12 centuries’ documents. The Archives are the stuff of historical legend. Documents at the repository are only released once they are at least 75 years old.
During the 1920s, Professor Ludvig somehow granted access to the VaticanVatican library where he was able to read some bizarre ancient manuscripts that probably could change the course of humanity. He claimed to have come across numerous texts on ancient codes, alchemy, and strange things about UFOs and extraterrestrials who visited Earth in the ancient past.
According to him, he read texts which discussed the influence of aliens on the various ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, the Mayans, and the Mesopotamians. Subsequently, he began his research on the Maya civilization. Ludvig translated their symbols that turned out to be spaceships and spacesuits. He also found historical records of the use of nuclear weapons in ancient times and showed his photographs of the fortress walls of Babylon, melted by a monstrous temperature up to a height of one and a half meters.
Professor Ludvig was very interested in the Sumerian civilization and had great knowledge about it. It is not known from where Sumerians came to Mesopotamia but in the middle of the 4th millennium BC, a sudden and incredible transformation happened to them. They suddenly learned how to build cities and enclose them with strong walls, lay irrigation canals and create the world’s first complex irrigation systems. They invented the wheel and the writing system. At first, Sumerian writing was pictographic, that is, individual objects were depicted in the form of drawings. The oldest texts inscribed with such a letter date back to about 3200 BC.
He also discussed the esoteric meaning of pyramids in Egypt that, under certain ritual manipulations, generate an energy-informational exchange with the cosmic mind. He studied the Etruscan civilization and in particular, believed that images of angels in Christianity come from Etruscan culture.

Professor Ludvig was no ordinary man. During World War II, he worked as an architect, design engineer, and inventor while being an inmate of the GULAG. From 1941 to 1943, he had 17 military inventions on his name. He is very well known among UFO researchers and ancient alien theorists. In 2016, Wikileaks revealed thousands of emails that were allegedly linked to Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta. The emails unfolded secret information shared with Podesta about UFOs and ETs. In 2015, Podesta received emails from Astronaut Edgar Mitchell that expressed his concern about the weaponization of space and its impact on the ETI (extraterrestrial intelligence). According to this set of leaks, the VaticanVatican, one of the highest religious authorities in the world, knows about aliens.
Mitchell wrote: “My Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield will be there too, to bring us up to date on the VaticanVatican’s awareness of ETI. Another colleague is working on a new Space Treaty, citing involvement with Russia and China. However, with Russia’s extreme interference in Ukraine, I believe we must pursue another route for peace in space and ZPE on Earth.”
Still, due to less corroborating information available about Professor Ludvig, there has been some skepticism of his claims. Did he really gain access to the secret Vatican archives and find all this amazing information?
What the Vatican knows about aliens and why UFO 'cover-up' won't go away for Pope
What the Vatican knows about aliens and why UFO 'cover-up' won't go away for Pope
The Vatican has long been thought to be hiding something very telling when it comes to it - and The Pope's - involvement with alien cover-ups, with continued silence seemingly not helping
Does The Pope now about alleged cover-ups by his predecessors?(Image: Getty Images)
For decades, the truth about the Vatican's relationship with aliens has been kept hidden from the public – with officials refusing to comment on it.
Speculation has been running riot about what lies beneath the Vatican's walls, with rumours of aliencover-ups and evidence being kept inside its vaults ramping up in recent years. But the pressure on the Vatican to front up to the claims ramped up last year thanks to a whistleblower.
David Grusch is a US Air Force veteran and has often made claims about the US Government's involvement in covering up the truth about aliens and UFOs. However, last year he brought the Vatican into the fold by claiming that it knows about aliens and was involved in a cover-up as far back as 1933.
What lies beneath the Vatican's walls inside the vault? Aliens, obviously

He said: “1933 was the first recovery in Europe, in Magenta, Italy. They recovered a partially intact vehicle, and the Italian government moved it to a secure airbase in Italy until around 1944-1945
“The Pope back-channelled that, and told the American's what the Italians had and we ended up scooping it.”
He was then asked by NewsNation to clarify whether or not the Catholic Church was aware of “non-human” existence on Earth, to which he replied: “Certainly.” And when asked why he should be believed, he said: “I have the credentials, and I was an intelligence officer.”
The rumours stem from an alleged 1933 cover-up(Image: Getty Images)
But when probed about the claims, the Vatican refused to respond – and has yet to do so to this very day.
Journalist Ross Coulthart suggested: "It's a very difficult situation for the Vatican because if Mr Grusch is telling the truth, it's a difficult thing for the Vatican to admit without the US concurring. I'm told the Vatican does have a very efficient intelligence service and it's long collaborated with intelligence services like the CIA providing useful intelligence, and especially in the wake of the Second World War."
We're unlikely to ever found out the truth(Image: Getty Images)
Coulthart claims to be in touch with people with access to the Vatican’s archives, which consists of 53-mile-long shelves full of documents. Answers to Grusch’s claims may lie there, he added.
It has often been claimed that if the Vatican were to open its vault doors and be honest about what it knows, it could do irreparable damage to itself.
But for now, the truth remains . . . more hidden than “out there”.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded a $1 million grant to fund the development of a military-grade prototype quantum laser that leverages the unique properties of quantum physics to overcome diffusion and data loss problems experienced by other state-of-the-art laser technologies.
The team from Washington University in St Louis receiving the DARPA grant says their goal is to use an aspect of quantum mechanics known as quantum entanglement to help communication lasers and lasers used for surveillance to operate in extreme temperatures, dense fog, or over extremely long distances.
“Quantum entanglement is a correlation between photons,” explained Associate Professor Jung-Tsung Shen from the university’s McKelvey School of Engineering and the leader of the team who received the grant. “We are trying to exploit the property of entanglement to do something innovative.”
To create their prototype quantum laser, Shen’s team will develop and test methods for what they are calling a “quantum photonic-dimer laser.” According to the press release announcing the project, this two-color photonic technology, “in which carefully controlled pairs of light particles or photonic dimers” are entangled, results in a coherent beam of laser beam made up of two different light wavelengths that contain the same information due to their state of entanglement. This two-colored laser loses significantly less information when passing through the atmosphere, even when experiencing adverse environmental conditions or traversing long distances.
“Photons encode information when they travel, but the travel through the atmosphere is very damaging to them,” Shen said. “When two photons are bound together, they still suffer the effects of the atmosphere, but they can protect each other so that some phase information can still be preserved.”
Along with graduate student Qihang Liu and colleagues from Texas A&M University’s Institute for Quantum Science & Engineering, Shen believes he can create a quantum photonic-dimer laser method so powerful they will entangle two-color photonic pairs at the rate of one million per second. That’s a rate the researchers say has “never been seen before.” The team will also be required to generate advanced algorithms for the efficient detection of entangled photonic pairs.

Aside from potential military applications, the research team believes their prototype system and its methods could be used in civilian applications that employ lasers in more extreme environments. These include advanced communications systems, quantum computing, and quantum imaging.
“The unique thing about this project is its dual focus on generating these novel strongly correlated quantum photonic states and developing the theoretical framework and advanced algorithms for their efficient detection, potentially revolutionizing quantum imaging and communication,” Shen said.
While this is only a two-year project, the team also believes their work is only a first step. In fact, according to Shen, science is just now beginning to explore the benefits of quantum entanglement to create any number of breakthrough technologies beyond their quantum laser.
“The entanglement can do many things that we can only dream of — this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Shen said.

Area 51 has ultra-secure 'base within a base' where dazzling secret aircraft are tested, says expert whose home was raided over website revealing 'truth' of Nevada UFO base
Area 51 has ultra-secure 'base within a base' where dazzling secret aircraft are tested, says expert whose home was raided over website revealing 'truth' of Nevada UFO base
Joerg Arnu has been digging into the mystery surrounding Area 51 since 1999
He believes the Air Force is testing spy planes and drone-jamming technology
The owner of a website compiling information about Area 51 believes the military is testing new technology at a covert 'base within a base' in the Nevada desert.
Joerg Arnu has been running dreamlandresort.com since the early days of the Internet. The site was launched in 1999, complete with a forum for equally enthusiastic fans to trade theories about happenings at the Air Force facility.
Some of those who post on the site are former Area 51 staffers - and Arnu's home was recently raided by the Feds, convincing him that at least one user had shared the truth about what happens there.
Area 51 has long been seen as a site where recovered alien technology is tested, with at least one former worker, Bob Lazar, saying they'd seen extraterrestrial aircraft on display.
Skeptics say those incredible claims provide a useful distraction from the very real but extremely-secretive military aircraft that are definitely developed and tested there.
Arnu, a self-branded 'Area 51 research veteran,' is one of roughly 50 people living in Rachel, Nevada, right on the outskirts of the military base.
And with 25 years of research under his belt, Arnu believes the real secrets are now being hidden in a new part of Area 51, which sits north of the existing runways and base buildings.
'They have years and years and decades of experience hiding things,' Arnu told 8 News Now.
Joerg Arnu, the owner of dreamlandresort.com, believes the U.S. military is testing cutting-edge technology out in the Nevada desert
Joerg has been documenting the happenings around Area 51 since 1999 from his home in Rachel, located just on the outskirts of the base
The Air Force facility, located 120 miles outside Las Vegas, has been shrouded in a veil of mystery since its founding nearly seven decades ago
This bizarre-looking early stealth plane, named Tacit Blue, was developed in total secrecy in Area 51 in the early 1980s and only revealed in 1996, years after it had been decommissioned. It serves as a useful example of just how tightly Area 51 bosses keep their secrets to their chests
The United States' new B-21 Stealth Raider was also likely developed at Area 51, and remained completely secret until its unveiling in 2021
'Look at some of the exotic planes, like the Tacit Blue that was developed in total secrecy, was flown in secrecy, then all of a sudden, they put it in a museum and said, "yeah, we had this for a while".'
Arnu was referring to a bizarre duck-bill shaped Northrup jet that was an early stealth prototype, first tested at Area 51 in 1982, decommissioned in 1985 and finally unveiled 11 years later, in 1996.
He said the fact that such a bizarre-looking plane could remain secret for so long gives a hint as to what else is kept far away from the public's eyes at Area 51's ultra-secret enclave.
Area 51, located 120 miles outside Las Vegas, has been shrouded in a veil of secrecy since its founding in 1955, when it was established as part of the Nevada Test and Training Range complex.
Reports of 'unidentified flying objects' soon began to crop up. Those appeared to stem from testing of the U-2 aircraft, which could fly up to 50,000 feet higher than normal airliners at the time.
Since then, Area 51 has continued to serve as the testing ground for other stealth aircrafts like the F-117A, A-12 and Tacit Blue. The military's stunning new B-21 Stealth Raider was also likely developed and tested at Area 51.
The military only acknowledged the base's existence in 2013, when a formerly classified document about the U-2 was obtained by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.
There were efforts to share more information about the facility before then. In the early 2000s, an Area 51 watchdog named Chuck Clark revealed that the military had placed sensors miles outside the base's boundaries, leading to a raid on his home.
He was in bed at his home in Rachel when around two dozen agents burst through the door, handcuffed him and led him outside for questioning.
But all the prying came at a price, as Arnu and his girlfriend, Linda Hellow, were targeted in an FBI raid in November 2022
According to a search warrant, Arnu was suspected to be in violation of Title 18 of the United States Code, accused of 'conspiracy' and 'photographing defense installations'
The webmaster believes cutting-edge military technology like drones and unmanned warplanes are being tested at Area 51
'The FBI wants to shut us down with unjustified raids and false accusations. Help us fight for our First Amendment Right!' reads a banner on the website
Over 100 miles away in Las Vegas, girlfriend Linda Hellow was similarly awoken by FBI agents who ordered her to come downstairs at gunpoint.
The agents seized four of Arnu’s computers, several hard drives, phones, cameras and a drone. They also swiped photos of his late parents and records containing personal information.
Arnu was handed a search warrant reviewed by DailyMail.com, which starts on page 40. The document indicates that Arnu violated Title 18 of the United States Code, accusing him of 'conspiracy' and 'photographing defense installations'.
He later learned that the raid was carried out by a joint team from the FBI and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, a counter intelligence wing that investigates terrorist groups targeting the Air Force.
Nearly two years later, Arnu is unsure whether he will face jail time. However, the government's case against him - whatever it may be - hasn't stopped him from continuing his mission.
The webmaster said he suspects military technology like drones and unmanned warplanes are being tested at Area 51.
'They are flying drones, obviously,' Arnu said. 'The Russians and Chinese work on stuff to jam our drones, we work on stuff to jam their drones. The next step is how do we make drone communications more secure.'
However, the tests are being conducted under even greater secrecy, at a 'base within a base' that is only visible to those with their own satellite.
Arnu is unsure whether he will face jail time, but the raid did not deter him from continuing to dig into the mystery surrounding Area 51
The 'Area 51 research veteran' suspects drone-jamming technology is being tested out in the desert
He says the experiments are being conducted at a highly secure 'base within in a base' north of Groom Lake that is only visible to those with their own satellite
'They have a whole empty valley just north of Groom Lake, and they have the mountain range where they can pretty much play with anything they want,' Arnu explained.
All this information and more can be found at dreamlandresort.com, which has been running ad-free since March 2019.
A flashy banner on the site encourages people to donate to a GoFundMe, reading, 'Freedom of Speech under attack: The FBI wants to shut us down with unjustified raids and false accusations. Help us fight for our First Amendment Right!'
Arnu doesn't intend to abandon his mission soon, and doesn't believe the shadowy agents testing military tech in the desert plan to stop either.
'It’s booming out there,' Arnu said. 'Area 51 is not going anywhere.'
Area 51 sits within a huge exclusion zone near Rachel. Sensors have been planted in the ground to warn security of any unauthorized visitors and anyone who crosses the perimeter - which sits many miles from the base itself - faces felony charges.
A few days before his mysterious death, the 35th US president John F. Kennedy demanded that the CIA provide him with a UFO dossier. From another archival note by John Kennedy, it became known that he wanted to offer the USSR a joint program for space exploration. Almost half a century after the death of John F. Kennedy, sensational details were revealed regarding his latest orders. It turned out that just 10 days before his death, the 35th president of the United States requested top-secret information about flying ships from special services.
According to the Daily Mail, Kennedy sent two requests: one to the CIA, the other one to NASA. The circulars had been useless in the archives of these departments for many years, but in the end, on the request made by author William Lester under the Freedom of Information Act, the CIA had to release the documents to him.
Author William Lester said the CIA released the documents to him under the Freedom of Information Act after he requested while researching for his new book ‘A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier.’
While working on a new book ‘A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier,’ the writer got the opportunity to familiarize himself with the contents of archival materials. Studying those documents, the author came across two sensations at once.
In a letter dated November 12, 1963, to the Director of the CIA, John F. Kennedy demanded a detailed report on the secret materials of the department devoted to UFOs and other paranormal phenomena. In another one, that was addressed to the administration of the National Space Agency (NASA), the president expressed a desire to cooperate with the Soviet Union in the field of space research and even join forces in space exploration.
Of course, there could be no talk of any opening of the Iron Curtain: after the Caribbean crisis, relations between the two nuclear powers became extremely heated. However, according to Lester, the coincidence of the two documents in time is far from accidental. The fact is that flying ships had repeatedly been seen over the territory of the Soviet Union. Kennedy rightly feared that the USSR might regard the appearance of unidentified objects in the sky above its territory as military aggression.
“I think this is one of the reasons why he wanted to get his hands on this information and get it away from the jurisdiction of NASA so he could say to the Soviets,” said Lester.
”The government regularly declassifies documents after a certain amount of time goes by, and then you have to file a request for those documents,” Lester told Life’s Little Mysteries, a sister site of Space.com. “When I was in the process of filing, those letters had just become declassified and released to the public.” This happened in 2006 or 2007, Lester said. “At the time, I think other people were getting them too.”
The top secret memo hasn’t turned up anywhere else besides Lester’s book, however, and some archivists question its authenticity. A research technician at the JFK Library in Boston, who asked not to be named, was unable to find a carbon copy of it in its presidential archive, which holds copies of all of JFK’s letters.
“We did some research into the presidential papers to try to find any evidence of the Nov. 12, 1963, letter to the director of the CIA, John McCone,” the technician told Life’s Little Mysteries. Despite the fact that JFK kept carbon copies of all his letters, even the classified ones, “in searching through the president’s office files — CIA, NASA and National Security files — we could find no evidence of this memo or anything like it.”
“Something is a little odd about it,” the technician said. “It is sanitized in very odd places: the director’s name, the top heading of the document (which usually distinguishes which agency is generating it) and then the tiny “top secret” print at the top of letter. Top secret items are usually stamped in large dark ink on the letter.“
The publicized documents once again convinced ufologists that the president was killed because of his interest in UFOs. According to paranormal researchers, behind the tragic death of Kennedy were people who were not interested in the head of state who was wildly popular among ordinary Americans, to learn the truth about UFOs.
Supporters of the conspiracy theory in connection with newly discovered circumstances recall other documents: the sensational “burned memo.” In 1999, ufologist Timothy Cooper was given a certain document with charred fields. The papers contained internal correspondence of senior CIA officers. In particular, the director of intelligence services drew the addressee’s attention to the fact that ‘Lancer’(Kennedy’s Secret Service code name) was too actively making inquiries, and his curiosity needed to be stopped.
It was reported that this top-secret file, subject to destruction, was saved from the fire by a CIA officer who served in the department from 1960 to 1974. The authenticity of the document was repeatedly questioned, and its last owner even turned to forensic experts for a professional opinion. However, the examination results have not yet been made public.
UFO investigator Robert Wood said he has tested the paper it was printed on, the ink age, watermarks, font types and other markings. He said: ‘I hired a forensics company to check the age of the ink and check several other things that you can date, using the same techniques you’d use in a court of law.’
I found a few structures on Mars on the online google map last night. One is a dark dome that is over 25 miles across! It's dark because the grey aliens don't like bright light or light from the sun. Grey's have dark eyelids that cover their real eyes, like sunglasses but built in to protect them from bright light. Also there was a rectangle structure with devil horns on its roof which was about 1.5 miles across and another crater near it had a statue of an alien standing and it stood over 3 miles high. Thats a low estimate since the crater floor is between 2.5-5 miles deep, but this could be as much as 5 miles high! Just wanted to share that with you. It's only visible on the infrared map, so when you click the map link, then hit the IR button. You will then see the dome.
Wat de natuurkunde zegt over tijdreizen Het concept van tijdreizen boeit lezers en bioscoopbezoekers al tientallen jaren. Maar hoewel mensen gefascineerd zijn door het idee, is niemand erin geslaagd om het tijdreizen meer tot realiteit te maken dan voorheen. Het lijkt een droom die net iets te ver buiten bereik ligt. Maar in een tijdperk waarin de wetenschap de grenzen van het mogelijke blijft verleggen, weten we eigenlijk wel - in theorie - wat de fysica van tijdreizen zou kunnen inhouden?
Nieuwsgierig? LEES HIERONDER VERDER om te ontdekken wat we tot nu toe weten over het vooruitzicht van reizen door de tijd.
Hoe tijd werkt Het zal je misschien verbazen dat natuurkundigen nog steeds niet precies weten hoe tijd werkt. Voorlopig lijkt reizen naar de toekomst mogelijk (aangezien we er elke dag naartoe razen).
Hoe tijd werkt Maar als het aankomt op het mogelijk ontmoeten van onze over-over-overgrootouders door naar het verleden te reizen, ziet het er extreem moeilijk, of bijna volledig onmogelijk uit.
Albert Einstein Albert Einstein heeft bijgedragen aan ons huidige begrip van tijdreizen. Zijn relativiteitstheorie beschrijft ruimte, tijd, massa en zwaartekracht.
Relativiteitstheorie Tijd was relatief voor Einstein. Een belangrijk resultaat van relativiteit is dat de tijdstroom niet constant is. Tijd kan versnellen of vertragen, afhankelijk van de omstandigheden.
Tijd is relatief Het feit dat het kan versnellen of vertragen is waar het concept van tijdreizen zijn intrede doet als mogelijkheid, met gevolgen in de echte wereld.
GPS-satellieten Voor ons zijn de relativistische effecten van tijd te subtiel om op te merken. Maar ze hebben wel degelijk invloed op de satellieten die worden gebruikt voor het Global Positioning System (GPS).
Klok aanpassen De klokken in de lucht tikken sneller dan de klokken op aarde. Daarom moeten de klokken in de lucht constant worden bijgesteld om de nauwkeurigheid te garanderen. Als dat niet gebeurt, kan je navigatie-app ongeveer 10 km per dag onnauwkeurig zijn!
Reizen in de toekomst Relativiteit betekent dat het mogelijk is om naar de toekomst te reizen. Of je nou reist met de lichtsnelheid of tijd doorbrengt in een intens zwaartekrachtsveld, je ervaart een relatief korte hoeveelheid aan subjectieve tijd.
Reizen in de toekomst In de rest van het universum zouden daarentegen tientallen jaren of eeuwen voorbijgaan. Dus wanneer je terugkeert, zou je verder in de toekomst zijn dan de tijd die je hebt ervaren.
Terug in de tijd Relativiteit opent wel enkele deuren voor terug in de tijd reizen, maar op dit moment zijn deze nog niet verder dan het theoretische stadium.
De theorie van de gesloten tijdachtige kromme Een studie uit 1949, gepubliceerd door Kurt Gödel, stelde voor dat een gesloten tijdachtige kromme, een pad waar ruimte en tijd in zichzelf teruglopen, tijdreizen naar het verleden mogelijk zou kunnen maken.
De theorie van de gesloten tijdachtige kromme Een groot probleem met deze theorie is echter dat er nergens in het universum zo'n gesloten lus bestaat. Het is pure theorie.
De theorie van de gesloten tijdachtige kromme Zonder bewijs voor het bestaan van een gesloten tijdachtige kromme, is er geen manier om deze te reconstrueren. Emily Adlam, filosoof aan de Chapman Universiteit in Californië, zegt: "Zelfs als we veel grotere technologische krachten hadden dan we nu hebben, lijkt het onwaarschijnlijk dat we in staat zouden zijn om doelbewust gesloten tijdachtige krommen te creëren."
Kosmische snaren In 1991 kwam de natuurkundige Richard Gott met de theorie dat zo'n gesloten cirkel mogelijk zou zijn als er twee "kosmische snaren" waren die in tegengestelde richting langs elkaar heen bewogen.
Kosmische snaren Wat geweldig zou zijn... als kosmische snaren bestonden! Deze snaren zijn nog steeds hypothetisch en volgens sommige theorieën zouden ze het hele vroege universum hebben gevormd.
Wormgaten Een ander fenomeen dat volgens de relativiteit mogelijk is, zijn wormgaten. Theoretisch is het mogelijk dat ruimtetijd wordt gevouwen als een stuk papier, waardoor een tunnel kan worden geperforeerd om een kortere weg te creëren tussen twee ver van elkaar verwijderde punten, oftewel een wormgat.
Wormgaten Het probleem met wormgaten is weer dat hoewel in theorie is aangetoond dat ze zouden kunnen bestaan, als een wiskundige mogelijkheid, het fysieke bestaan van wormgaten iets heel anders is.
Intens zwaartekrachtsveld Als wormgaten zouden bestaan, zouden ze niet erg lang bestaan. Sterker nog, als het twee zwarte gaten zijn die zich hebben samengevoegd, zoals wordt getheoretiseerd, dan zou hun intense zwaartekrachtsveld instorten onder hun eigen zwaartekracht.
Problemen met omvang Er is nog meer slecht nieuws voor toekomstige tijdreizigers: deze wormgaten zouden microscopisch klein zijn, te klein voor een bacterie, laat staan voor een mens om er doorheen te gaan.
Negatieve energie Om het omvang- en zwaartekrachtprobleem op te lossen zou er een grote hoeveelheid negatieve energie in het atoom nodig zijn. De energie van het atoomveld moet over het algemeen echter meer positieve energie bevatten, dus zelfs als er kleine zakjes negatieve energie in het atoomveld zouden ontstaan, is het geen erg realistisch beeld.
Kwantummechanica Terwijl relativiteit het gedrag beschrijft van grote objecten zoals mensen en sterrenstelsels, verklaart kwantummechanica het hele kleine: kleiner dan atomen, zoals elektronen en fotonen.
Non-lokaliteit Uit de kwantummechanica zijn vreemde waarnemingen naar voren gekomen, met name non-lokaliteit. Dit is waar een verandering in de toestand van een deeltje op één locatie onmiddellijk een ander "verstrikt" deeltje ergens anders kan beïnvloeden.
Non-lokaliteit Einstein noemde dit "spookachtige actie op afstand". Het is vele malen experimenteel aangetoond, maar veel natuurkundigen zijn ongelukkig met de mogelijkheid van niet-lokaliteit.
Non-lokaliteit Om het effect onmiddellijk te laten zijn, zou de informatie namelijk sneller moeten gaan dan de lichtsnelheid. Dit wordt als onmogelijk beschouwd.
Retrocausaliteit Als reactie hierop zijn sommige natuurkundigen met een alternatieve manier gekomen om de experimenten te interpreteren. Sommigen suggereren dat wanneer iets er direct lijkt te zijn, het eigenlijk naar de toekomst is gereisd en weer terug. Dit introduceert retrocausaliteit, oftewel gebeurtenissen die in de toekomst plaatsvinden hebben een effect op het verleden.
Retrocausaliteit Als dit het geval is, is ons lineaire concept van tijd niet noodzakelijk correct. Het betekent in feite dat informatie uit de toekomst altijd terugkeert om het verleden te beïnvloeden. Het is goed om in gedachten te houden dat deze theorie ook niet door iedereen wordt geaccepteerd. Sommigen vinden deze theorie nog ongehoorder dan non-lokaliteit.
Conclusie Kortom, we hebben geen volledig antwoord. Relativiteit en kwantumfysica zijn niet met elkaar te combineren, maar ze werken wel om bepaalde aspecten van ons universum te verklaren. Misschien is er een overkoepelende, verenigende theorie die ze met elkaar verbindt, maar die is nog niet ontdekt. Voorlopig blijft tijdreizen buiten bereik - net als de meer mysterieuze aspecten van het universum.
