Georgia Guidestones Explosion Caught On Video
Georgia Guidestones Explosion Caught On Video
This is an update to my previous article, which you can see here. This video was released by The State of Georgia’s Bureau of Investigation.
Onbekenden blazen "Amerikaanse Stonehenge" op met explosieven, monument in Georgia is afgebroken
Onbekenden blazen "Amerikaanse Stonehenge" op met explosieven, monument in Georgia is afgebroken
In de Amerikaanse staat Georgia zijn de Georgia Guidestones, ook wel "het Amerikaanse Stonehenge" genoemd", door onbekenden ernstig beschadigd met explosieven. Uit veiligheidsoverwegingen is het mysterieuze monument daarna volledig afgebroken.
Ellen Maerevoet
De Georgia Guidestones, die soms ook wel eens "het Amerikaanse Stonehenge" genoemd worden, is een bouwwerk dat in 1980 opgetrokken is. Het is nooit duidelijk geworden wie de opdracht gegeven heeft voor het "monument" en wat de exacte bedoeling ervan was.
De zes monumentale granieten platen, die in totaal 119 ton wegen, waren een opvallende landmark langs de kant van de weg in Elbert County en lokten veel bezoekers.
Op de -bijna zes meter hoge- zuilen stonden in twaalf talen (waaronder klassiek Grieks, Hebreeuws, Engels, Russisch Swahili en Spaans) boodschappen "aan toekomstige generaties".
Enkele fragmenten: "Breng persoonlijke rechten en sociale plichten met elkaar in evenwicht", "prijs waarheid, schoonheid en liefde", "laat ruimte voor de natuur". Een van de theorieën was dat het boodschappen zouden zijn voor overlevenden na een mogelijke apocalyps (een periode waarin de wereld ten onder lijkt te gaan).
Gisterochtend (lokale tijd) is het monument door onbekenden beschadigd met explosieven. Het Georgia Bureau of Investigation heeft filmpjes verspreid die gemaakt zijn met een bewakingscamera op het terrein. Daarop zijn beelden van de explosie te zien en van een auto die wegrijdt.

Bij de explosie raakte niemand gewond. Uit veiligheidsoverwegingen is de constructie na de explosie uiteindelijk volledig afgebroken omdat ze te ernstig beschadigd was, meldt het Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

De site van Georgia Guidestones na de explosie:
De geheimzinnigheid rond de Georgia Guidestones heeft altijd geleid tot complottheorieën en speculaties over de aanleg en vernietiging van het bouwwerk. Een lokale priester noemde het meteen na de onthulling bijvoorbeeld een altaar voor de duivel. Ook wordt het in verband gebracht met een geheim genootschap dat een nieuwe wereldorde wil.
Op de website ExploreGeorgia.org wordt het monument onder meer omschreven als een astronomische kalender, "waar elke middag de zon door een spleet in de constructie schijnt en zo de datum van die dag oplicht".

De constructie heeft altijd veel vragen opgeroepen:
Mysterious Georgia Guidestones significantly damaged by an explosion
Mysterious Georgia Guidestones significantly damaged by an explosion
State and local enforcement and emergency agencies are on the scenes at the Georgia Guidestones, which were significantly damaged by an explosion early Wensday morning (July 6, 2022) writes 105.3 WSGC Radio on their Facebook page(including images).
According to Wyff4 an investigation is underway at the mysterious Georgia Guidestones site after a PICTURE shows what appears to be rubble at the site and residents reported hearing a "boom."
The question is who is responsible for the destruction of the stones and what do they want to achieve with it?
The mysterious Georgia Guidestones is a granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia, in the United States. A message clearly conveying a set of ten guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient language scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The stated purpose of the stones is to be “Guidestones to an Age of Reason,” but many believe they are actually a guide to Illuminati genocide.
The ten “commandments” on the stone appear to sketch out a framework for reconstructing society after a nuclear holocaust or similar apocalypse.
In 2014 this illuminati monument got a new stone added. Somebody has officially updated it with an engraved cube marking the year 2014 inserted into the English/Spanish slab of the 'new 10 commandments' just above the population reduction prophecy.
The removal of the coded cube on September 25, 2014 has allowed all 6 sides of the granite block, to be observed and noted. The markings from all 6 sides are as follows: MM, JAM, 8-14-16-20
The origin of a strange monument, the Georgia Guidestones, is shrouded in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who commissioned its construction.
The Message Of The Georgia Guidestones:
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.
Unite humanity with a living new language.
Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
Balance personal rights with social duties.
Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.
Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.

Did Nikola Tesla really give this Amazing Interview in the Play called: ‘Tesla: Or Adaptation of an Angel? Also known as: Everything is the Light.
The Lost Interview with Nikola Tesla.
A mind-boggling article had surfaced a little while back, of a lost or intentionally hidden interview, with the master of electricity himself, Nikola Tesla. Rumor’s suggest that the “Interview” is a fake, but how do we prove it? Impossible! We now know that the interview comes from the theater play, ‘Tesla: Or Adaptation of an Angel.’ Meaning: “Adaptation of Tesla,” by Stevan Pešić, a Serbian playwright, but the real question remains, did Nikola Tesla really conduct such an interview?
We are all hungry for more of Nikola Tesla’s wisdom on spirituality and we get a beautiful glimpse of that in this interview. Even if this interview was a fake, it still holds loads of thought-provoking wisdom. The play started as a radio drama in Serbia. It became very popular and was made into a theatre play, and was first performed in Belgrade in 1995.
The play was made into a film twice—In 2001 and in 2014.
Apparently, as an inspiration to Stevan Pešić to write this play, he used a true interview given by scientist Nikola Tesla, for the magazine “Immortality” in his laboratory in Colorado Springs.
So, without further ado, please enjoy this wonderful interview with the master of Electricity, Nikola Tesla.
The interview is conducted by journalist John Smith.

Deep-Sea Camera Captures What No One Was Supposed to See
Life on earth is entirely dependent on water, every single living organism requires water for survival. More than 60% of the human body is composed of water. We are dependent on water in different ways including for drinking, for taking showers, cooking food, and for swimming. Agriculture and industry both run on water. Well, 71% of the earth’s surface is covered with water and oceans constitute about 96.5% of this water. It means, we have tremendous opportunities to explore but exploring the abyss of the ocean is a difficult proposition and maybe quite scary. Scientists have been trying to reach the darkest corners of the unchartered oceans and they have come across some terrifying things.
Kinross UFO: An Unidentified Craft, A Hidden Transcript & A Missing Air Force Jet
Kinross UFO: An Unidentified Craft, A Hidden Transcript & A Missing Air Force Jet
In 1953, Air Defence Radar over Lake Superior, Michigan, detected a UFO travelling at rapid speeds. An F-89C interceptor jet was dispatched to investigate, the plane and its pilots were never seen again.
In 1953, over Lake Superior, a jet as well as its crew disappeared after being scrambled to track a UFO
On the evening of November 23, 1953, Air Defence Command radar detected the presence of an unidentified object moving at 500 mph over Lake Superior. An F-89C all-weather interceptor, piloted by Lieutenant Felix Moncia Jr., with radar observer Lieutenant R. R. Wilson in the rear cockpit, was dispatched from Kinross Air Force Base, near the Soo Locks in northern Michigan. Under radar guidance, the jet headed toward the target.
At 8000 feet, 70 miles off Keweenaw Point, and 160 miles northwest of the Soo Locks, the blip of the F-89 and that of the UFO merged, then faded from the screen. Nothing more was heard from the interceptor, and no trace of it was ever found, despite an extensive search.
A brief statement, prepared by the Public Information Office at Wisconson's Truax Air Force Base (which handled such duties for bases in the area), was given to the press. By the next day, however, an Air Force spokesman at the Pentagon claimed that the unidentified object was a Royal Canadian Air Force C-47 and that the F-89, far from colliding with it as the radar reading indicated, had never been any closer than miles from it. The fate of the F-89 after that was unclear, the Air Force contended: it had crashed for unknown reasons.
The Canadian government denied on several occasions that any incident involving one of its aircraft and a USAF interceptor had occurred on the date in question. In any case, the official Air Force version implied an implausible incompetence on the parts of radar operators at such a sensitive installation. The official version has it that Moncla may have suffered from vertigo and lost control of his aircraft, though records indicate he was flying on instruments. No transcript of Moncla's radio conversation with the controllers has ever been released.
The Air Force gave conflicting accounts to Moncla's widow. First, she was told that the F-89 had flown too low in its effort to identify the Canadian plane and crashed into the water. Subsequently, another officer asserted that the interceptor had exploded at a high altitude.
Disappearing Aircraft.
For years rumours have circulated that the Air Force is covering up other cases in which UFOs apparently snatched military aircraft. The most interesting of these stories comes from the testimony of Master Sergeant O. D. Hill of Project Blue Book - or so Cleveland ufologist Tom Comella would assert in a nationally published magazine article that has never been challenged.
According to his account, on February 4, 1956, Comella and three other civilian UFO investigators met with Air Technical Intelligence Centre (ATIC) representatives at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where Blue Book was headquartered. Their purpose was to discuss two cases in which low-flying objects had passed over residential areas. The ATIC personnel promised to get back to them. But they heard nothing until June 28, when Edgar Smith, a member of the civilian group, received a visit from M. Sgt. Hill, though Hill had not participated in the original meeting. After initially reciting the standard anti-UFO Blue Book line, Hill told Smith that the project existed to "prevent another Pearl Harbour." He said that "our planes have been and still are disappearing from the sky." Then asking not to be quoted, he related two cases.
The first of these sounds in every way except one like the Kinross episode. The sole discordant detail is Hill's reference to a "thorough search of the land area"; the Kinross case took place, of course, over a body of water. Perhaps Hill's recall was imperfect. Smiths notes have Hill saying this of the second case:
"A transport plane with 26 persons aboard was rapidly approaching its air base some 10 miles away from shore. Back on land at the radar station the operator was carefully tracking the transport plane and was in constant radar communication with the plane. Suddenly the radar operator spied a second blip on his radarscope. He immediately radioed the transport and advised the pilot to beware of the alien object." The UFO was travelling at a high rate of speed, about 2500 mph. It jumped about on the radarscope like a tennis ball. All of a sudden the mysterious blip headed straight for the transport plane, and before the radar operator could warn it, the two objects had united into one on the radar screen. The one remaining blip sped straight up at a terrific rate of speed. A surface search of the water in the vicinity revealed no oil slick, although a general's briefcase was found floating. The plane has completely disappeared."
Hill told Smith that such incidents had officials worried. Two hundred scientists were at work on the UFO problem for the U.S. government.
As soon as Hill left his house, Smith called Comella to summarize the sergeant's account and tell him Hill was on his way. Hill repeated the stories to Comella and added that many top officials believed UFOs to be of extraterrestrial origin. A month later Smith and Comella saw Hill at ATIC headquarters, then met separately with the new Blue Book head, Captain George T. Gregory. When asked about the disappearance cases, Gregory attributed them to "bugs or small birds that get into the radar pattern." When Comella asked if birds were responsible for the aircraft's disappearance, too, Gregory said, "Well, we just cannot talk about those cases."
Hill never disputed Comella's version of events. There seems no reason to doubt that Comella's account of their interaction is correct. To date, no independent confirmation of the second disappearance case (if we assume the first to refer to the Kinross event) has surfaced.
The world was not ready when the Apollo 15 Astronaut Al Wordensaid in a live interview that humans are the ancient aliens who came down to Earth and started civilization here. He referenced Ancient Sumerian texts for it. More interestingly, according to Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, there have been some kind of intergalactic space battle involving super-advancedextraterrestrials that took place in our solar system millions of years ago.
The author of the book “The Cosmic War,” Dr. Joseph P. Farrell says there is ample evidence across our solar system of cataclysmic and catastrophic destruction events. He suggests that two cosmic wars took place, one 65 million years ago, and another 3.2 million years ago.
The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics, and Ancient Texts: A Study in Non-Catastrophist Interpretations of Ancient Legends by Joseph P. Farrell
Note:Joseph Farrell is an Oxford educated historian who specializes in alternative history, World War II, and secret technologies. After a lifelong interest in alternative history, science, and a fascination for ancient texts, Joseph started writing on these subjects in 2001.
Rejecting the naturalist and materialist assumptions of catastrophism forwarded by other researchers, Dr. Farrell says that it is time to take the ancient myths of a Cosmic War in the heavens seriously. Incorporating extraterrestrial artifacts, cutting-edge ideas in contemporary physics, and the texts of ancient myths into his argument, he maintains that ancient interplanetary war was fought in our own solar system with weapons of extraordinary power and sophistication.
Many ancient history scholars and authors have mentioned the so-called “Technology of the gods,” which includes not only the mystical flying machine “Vimana,” but also powerful weapons of the gods, for example, “Vajra,” an artifact of the Anunnaki gods which shoots lightning.
Sumerian god Ninurta wielding a “thunderbolt”
In the book, Dr. Farrell mentions the ancient Sumerian god Ninurta wielding a “thunderbolt” that is a dead-solid ringer for an electrical discharge produced in a modern lab that experiments with plasma physics.
Dr. Farrell asserted that the echoes of this cosmic war are reflected in the ancient texts of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Biblical texts, Vedic tradition, and also New World mythology, from the Maya and Aztecs to the myths of some native North American tribes.
But think about it: the oldest texts from the ancient Mideast are perhaps 4,000 to 5,000 years old. Vedic texts may go back as far as 5,000 or 6,000 years. Besides, purely oral traditions might possibly push the information back a few thousand more years. That’s a long time, but it’s nothing compared to 3.2 million years. It is ridiculous beyond belief to consider a connection between a 6,000-year-old ancient manuscript with events that happened 65 million years ago!
It sounds unacceptable that all of the civilizations, high and low such as the Egyptians, the Mongols, the various Chinese dynasties, the Roman Empire, the Inca, and the Aztecs have come and gone in just the past few thousand years. The Soviets’ period was only 75 years.
It is true that the traces of traditions and mythology have survived thousands of years. British psychologist and author Stan Gooch, who is probably best known as the proponent of a “hybrid-origin theory” of human evolution, makes a ra ther compelling case that much of our fundamental culture today is underpinned and actually derived from the extinct Neanderthal race, that last of which died out about 20,000 to 30,000 years ago.
Gooch said the modern man is unaware of and/or has forgotten the origins of its primary, fundamental cultural attributes (such as the development of the Zodiac and various god/theological concepts) and so much more.

But it does not help Dr. Farrell. As for him, even 20,000 to 30,000 years is nothing. The Neanderthals had an approximately 250,000 run as a successful species. But it’s nothing for Dr. Farrell.
According to mainstream scientists, the origin of Homo sapiens is about 200,000 years. Yet Dr. Farrell is making the case that legends were handed down by one civilization or another for 3.2 million years.
Though there are alternative archaeology proponents like Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson, who says the human species is actually billions of years old. Unfortunately, such statements are certainly on the fringe, to say the least.
But Dr. Farrell’s cosmic war scenario gets a tremendous shot in the arm from the work of physicist Dr. John Brandenburg (He is a brilliant and accomplished plasma physicist who earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Davis in 1981).
Dr. John Brandenburg published two controversial books — “Death on Mars” and “Life and Death on Mars” — in which he makes a highly scientific and rigorously technical case that Mars was destroyed by nuclear weapons millions of years ago as part of some sort of interstellar cosmic conflict.
Brandenburg said Mars was wiped out when some advanced extraterrestrial race dropped two one-million-megaton bombs that exploded in strategic locations about 20 miles above the Martian surface.
If he is correct, that would be a benefit for Dr. Farrell’s theory about an ancient cosmic war, but there is a major problem.
According to Dr. Brandenburg, Mars was nuked 251 million years ago. That does not go along with Dr. Farrell’s timelines of 3.2 million and 65 million years ago. However, Dr. Farrell might be onto something in his book, “The Cosmic War.”
According to late Dr. Tom Van Flandern, an American Astronomer specializing in celestial mechanics for the U.S. Naval Observatory, a planet in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter was exploded around 65 million years ago or as early as 3.2 million years ago. He finds some way to frame his cosmic war scenario within a time scenario of, say, 10,000 to 15,000 years.

“I suggest that Van Flandern’s Exploded Planet Hypothesis makes sense only if one is willing to entertain a nonnatural explanation. Of course, this is heretical on several levels, as the explanation must somehow encompass the presence of potential artifacts on Mars as well as a presumed high-tech culture on Mars’ erstwhile parent. “Strangely, the revelatory climax from Eando Binder’s Puzzle of the Space Pyramids comes to mind. In Binder’s novel, the asteroid belt was formed by a focused gravity assault that harnessed the energy of the entire solar system. The pyramids of the title were essentially gravity generators used to manipulate space-time,” Dr. Farrell wrote.
It is the least to say about Dr. Farrell’s Cosmic War. But in doing so, he offers a solution to an enigma that has long mystified researchers, disclosing the cause of that ancient war, the means by which it was waged, and the real nature of the secret technology behind the ancient “Tablets of Destinies.”

Romania’s Enigmatic Trovants: Living Rocks That Grow and Move!
Roughly six million years ago, paleo-earthquakes created a type of geological phenomenon called trovants. They are also known as the stones of Costesti, after their most famous location in Romania, or the “living stones.” Romania’s rare trovants were formed under highly complex circumstances involving seismic shifts, sand sediment in rivers and rain, and lots of time. And the locals of Costesti, Romania consider them to be alive! Having witnessed them grow, expand, and move over generations the Romanians have turned the trovants into local legends and myths. For geologists, trovants have long been a captivating mystery.
What are Trovants?
Trovants are made up of a hard stone center surrounded by sandstone and vary in size from extremely small and pebble-like trovants to stones weighing several tons. Although most trovants are made from sandstone originally, geologists have also found some made from gravel or gritstone. Trovants are an incredibly exciting and unique type of rock formation found within specific areas of Romania.
How are Trovants Formed?
The name trovant is a synonym from the German word “ Sandsteinkonkretionen” meaning “cemented sand,” which explains how these rocks are made. Trovants can only be formed when sand accrues with sandstone deposits around a hard stone core and is cemented by water that has a high concentration of calcium carbonate . This mixture melds together to make these truly fascinating rocks known by locals as the “growing stones.”
What makes them so exciting is that the locals have witnessed them grow and multiply over the years. Due to the elements it takes for these rocks to be formed, they go through an unusual process that makes the rocks appear to grow and move.
These trovants or living and moving geological formations are located near Ulmet in the Buzăului Mountains of Romania.
Do These Strange Geological Formations Really Grow?
The answer is yes, for all intents and purpose they do grow, but trovants grow in a very specific, unique way.
When there is unusually heavy rainfall in the areas trovants are found, they tend to absorb minerals in the rain. Along with the formation of the sand and sandstone deposits already present as the shell of the rock, a chemical reaction begins putting immense pressure on the inside of the trovant.
This pressure from a chemical reaction expands the trovant outwards from its core towards its outer crust, making the rock itself grow. On the surface of the rocks, small deposits are pushed outwards adding to the rockface, leading to their name “the growing stones.”
Overall, trovant growth is a rather slow process and the rate of growth is only around 4-5 centimeters (1.6-2 inches) in 1,000 years.
But over the millions of years the rocks have been “growing” some truly beautiful and particularly interesting formations have been created.
Bubbles or Boulders: What do Trovants Look Like?
Trovants tend to be spherical due to the seismic activity they have experienced and rather smooth individually, not unlike rocks that are shaped by erosion. However, trovants are different because the opposite process is what gives the rocks their unique appearance. The trovants look like bubbles some of them with platforms that look like they are growing from a root system. These trovants tend to be fixed in place.
Over the years geologists have cut open numerous trovants to see what they are made of and found that not unlike tree rings, these geological formations also have multiple ringed, elliptical layers inside. This is because the rocks effectively grow through bubbling outwards when rained on. And under those conditions they pick up further deposits of sand from their area and continue to “grow” slowly over years. This explains the layers the geologists noticed within the trovants they cut open.
Trovants on the move in Romania’s Trovants Museum Natural Reserve?
One other interesting thing about trovants is that they move. I’m sure you have heard of the moving rocks of Death Valley. No? Well, you should look into it if you like mysterious rocks.
Trovants also move, albeit super slowly, but they do travel to some extent. Because these rocks are picking up surrounding sand when it rains, they are effectively changing the landscape and creating a path for themselves that allows them to dislodge and move small distances over significant periods of time.
Tourism and protection
Due to the fascinating nature of trovants they have become a tourist attraction within Romania. To give protection to these rocks “The Trovants Museum Natural Reserve” was created in 2004.
The rocks are so unique that they have come under the protection of UNESCO and have a foundation to protect them from the issues tourism can cause to public archaeological and geological sites. In the past, the locals often sold the smaller trovants to tourists, which in the long term could cause a problem to the trovant landscape.
Although found in over 20 places in Romania some trovants have only been discovered after the sand has been taken from the area for building tombs and making souvenirs.
Conclusion
So trovants aren’t technically alive, this isn’t some horror movie waiting to happen. However, these rocks do change over exceptionally long periods of time.
Although not strictly alive, trovants have some characteristics of something that is living. Although not sentient, these rocks do grow and move.
It is not surprising that they have become the stuff of myth to the locals over the centuries. They are the closest thing to living we can consider rock to be and have been around much longer than any human on the planet, thus having encountered more “life” than all of us!

Awesome talk. William, Son of Cars, is such an interesting guy. His genuine enthusiasm and intelligence is really endearing, and his endless energy even gives Rex a run for his money. I gotta see this documentary. One thing confused me though – if it’s been seen to make course corrections on multiple occasions, implying it’s still functioning, then why is it sending signals to where Epsilon Bootes used to be 13000 years ago? Wouldn’t it be updating that star’s location? Or… maybe we’re wrong about our calculations? Richard Wilson

What's Killing The Cattle In The USA? Three Theories And One Stands Out!!
What's Killing The Cattle In The USA? Three Theories And One Stands Out!!
What’s Killing The Cattle In The USA?
1. It is suggested heat is the cause of this, but if so, why hasn’t it happened like this before? Seems highly unlikely and unreasonable.
2. Zetatalk suggests these are methane deaths.
What would cause such a thing like this?? Maybe the cause was something like release of methane but I checked the last 9 days in that area. It hasn’t been any major earthquake around the zone. Would the zetas care to comment on this subject? [and from another] What’s killing the cattle in the USA? [and from another]
This week, temperatures reached up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit with little cooling factor from wind.
The clues as to what killed mass numbers of cows in Kansas is their behavior just before death. If overheated, they would not group together as this prevents cooling by wind. Grouping together is something the cows would do in the dead of Winter if trying to get warm. Why would a herd mass by the fence, as though trying to get away from something offensive? Methane deaths in sheep and antelope and especially fish and birds are of record during the 7 of 10 Plate Movements, and the entire Mainland of the US is being shifted westward at this time. These were methane deaths. https://zetatalk.com/ning/30ju2022.htm IITM: Now the methane theory seems more plausible, but it also FALSE! The reason being, is that the methane would have affected other animals, insects, birds etc… NO MASSIVE BIRD DIE-OFF, WHICH WOULD HAVE LIKELY HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. IF THE METHANE WAS LOW LEVEL, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN OTHER ANIMALS DEAD TOO. 3. What is the next theory to consider? Well… there are a few clues… i) the animals died near the fence. ii) only one species died iii) no humans died iv) there are several assaults against the food supply v) the elite want humans to eat bugs So the next reasonable theory is that this is a manmade cause of death. The military already have into use, microwave weapons, which they use to get crowds to disperse… but what if they can also use that same technology to CORRAL humans or cows into a gathered space? This event can have a two-fold purpose:
As a practice test for future events to now target cattle, as part of the food scarcity plan.
As a practice test for future events, to cattle humans into contained areas for mass disposal.
They call it ‘non-lethal’… do you believe they can’t turn up the juice?

Crashed Extraterrestrial Vehicle Retrieval Manual in Governmental The Majestic Documents: Origins and Impact Today
Dr. Robert Wood and Ryan Wood have been investigating leaked Majestic Documents since 1994 when the former was given a leaked copy of an apparent official document used by military personnel for retrieval operations of crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft. Dr. Wood had only a year earlier retired from a 43 year career with McDonnell Douglas/Douglas Aircraft company as an aerospace scientist on projects such as the Project Nike anti-missile defense system. He was helped in his document investigation by his son Ryan – who currently runs an alternative energy company. After a rigorous forensic investigation they concluded the SOM document was authentic. Over the subsequent years the Woods team have investigated many official documents that have security classifications such as MAJIC, MJ-12, MAJESTIC, JEHOVAH, and UMBRA.

He cited many Majestic Documents in his groundbreaking 2005 book, Majic Eyes Only, where he examined 74 crash retrieval cases.
In their first joint interview with Dr. Michael Salla, the Woods discuss how they got involved in researching the Majestic Documents, the contents of key documents for understanding UFO history. Especially significant was their research into the Burned Memo document which they concluded is linked to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy for his efforts to declassify the UFO topic.

Military bases, with their secretive natures and security clearances, often seeming to operate in the dark beyond the public eye, have always drawn to them tales of conspiracies. It sometimes seems that there is not a single military base that doesn't have at least some dark rumors swirling about it involving strange experiments, UFOs, and aliens. For the most part these just remain lore and more or less urban legends, but they become more interesting when actual people who were supposedly there step forward to talk about the outlandish things they've seen at such places. One such very odd case comes from a witness who claims to have had several surreal encounters with aliens in secret underground facilities beneath two U.S. military bases.
The report in question was released by the radio station KPFA-FM, in Berkeley, California, during a 4-hour show on UFO phenomena. The station itself is part of the Pacifica Foundation, which was founded in 1947 and is a non-profit organization that owns several non-commercial, largely non-censored, alternative listener-supported radio stations. These stations are known for being rather off the grid and the last bastion for free speech and activism, as well as pioneers of First Amendment rights, so it makes sense that they might be more inclined to open up about their more fringe experiences on such a station. According to UFO researcher Elaine Douglass, in this case, KPFA-FM had acquired tapes of an interview taken in April of 1981 with a man who claimed to be a Vietnam veteran, former Green Beret, military medal-holder, and construction contractor who had done work at military facilities such as Nellis, Scott, Edwards, and Andrews Air Force Bases, and had quite the tale to tell. According to him, he had had two separate encounters with alien beings there, the first being at Edwards Air Force Base, in the Antelope Valley of Southern California.
Edwards Air Force Base
Edwards Air Force Base is the home of the Air Force Test Center, Air Force Test Pilot School, and NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center, and is involved in all manner of research and development of flight technology, as well as testing and evaluating aerospace systems from concept to combat. Many experimental aircraft are tested here, with some historic occasions such Chuck Yeager's flight that broke the sound barrier carried out at the base. According to this witness, it also has an expansive underground network of tunnels and labs that are up to top-secret research involving crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft and aliens.
On the tape, the witness claims that the underground facilities he had seen during his contract work were “definitely not normal military structures,” and that they featured very thick concrete walls, unorthodox oval door ways with doors that electronically slid open and shut, and arrays of bizarre equipment the likes of which he had never seen. He describes various laboratories and high-security areas he was not allowed to access, the whole place giving off a sinister vibe and feeling very much like a place he didn’t feel welcome in. The size of the facility itself he could not say, but he estimated, judging by the time it took them to get from the top of the elevator to the bottom, that it went at least 30 stories down. It was as he walked the halls with his colleague that they wandered into an area they felt they were perhaps not supposed to be in, and that was when they had their bizarre encounter with an alien. The witness says:
We were walking down a hall, and these doors opened and there was a very particular person or things that caught my eye for an instant. This man was over seven feet tall. I’d say between 8 and 9 to 10 feet, wearing a lab jacket and talking to two human engineers. This man’s arms were almost down to his knees! It threw me into shock. It was definitely not human. He had big slanted eyes. A big head. Fingers were extremely long. Greenish skin. I saw him for just a few seconds. Three-quarters of its face is what I saw and I said, this guy would make a hell of a basketball player! And then the doors closed. Security saw us and told us to get out of there. The next day I walked off the job. After that I said, ain’t nobody pulling the blanket over my head anymore. l know what’s going on now. l know what I saw at Edwards is real. Somebody’s playing games with us.
The witness’s second encounter allegedly happened at the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station, located in the Western Mojave Desert region of California, approximately 150 miles north of Los Angeles. The base was originally called the Naval Ordnance Test Station, and is involved in a variety of research, testing and evaluation programs for the U.S. Navy. The sprawling site covers a massive 1,100,000 acres, an area larger than the state of Rhode Island, has 19,600 square miles of restricted and controlled airspace, and according to the witness it also has a vast secret underground facility holding aliens and alien tech. It was as he was doing work there with some colleagues that he purportedly saw aliens for the second time in his life, and he explained of what happened:
They security thought we had left–me and two other guys. But we decided to stay over and finish this job. We walked past a hangar and we could see through a window,” the witness said. One of the guys I was with, Paul, he saw them first. He said, ‘Come here! Hurry up! I want to show you something!‘ And we looked in the window and there are these four little grey guys about 3 feet tall. Right then, security saw us and they told us, ‘We thought you guys left.’ And they escorted us and said, ‘You’re not allowed around this hangar. This hangar is off- limits to everybody. You’ll get yourself shot.‘ And it messed with Paul’s mind so much that every chance he got he snuck over there. He finally got caught and was kicked off the base. About three months later they found him mysteriously dead in Orange County. This kind of put a scare in me. I know why not to mess with something.
The witness insists that his story is true, and apparently throughout the interview seems very sober and sincere. When the segment was originally aired on the KPFA-FM UFO program it generated so much interest that were planning on broadcasting it again, but shortly before they were to do this they allegedly got a message from the KPFA-FM program producer Ralph Steiner, somberly stating, “Do not re-broadcast the tape. Persons whose testimony is on the tape have been threatened and their lives are in danger.” Was the radio station silenced, and if so by who? There is very little to verify any of this, and it could all very well be someone playing a hoax and having a laugh at everyone's expense, but it does certainly add to the already rich lore of secret, ominous military bases and their supposed bizarre dealings with extraterrestrials.
The UFO subject can, at times, be a strange one. On other occasions it can be sinister. But, what about downright fatal? In other words, mysterious deaths and getting too close to the truth of the UFO phenomenon. That's the theme of today's article. We'll begin with a man named Danny Casolaro. It was the summer of 1991 – specifically August 1 of that year – when the body of a middle-aged man was discovered in a hotel room in the Martinsburg, West Virginia Sheraton Inn. His body was lying in the shower. It was a grim sight for the maid that made the discovery. The man, it seemed, had committed suicide: his wrists were cut deep, something which effectively meant that without anyone to help him, the man was doomed. And, he was. It didn’t take more than a few moments for hotel staff to figure out who, exactly, the man was. He was identified by the person on the front-desk as Danny Casolaro. For around a year and a half leading up to the point of his reported suicide, Casolaro had been looking into a powerful group of people who sound very much like candidates for a New World Order. Casolaro termed this group, “The Octopus.” Appropriately, but unfortunately and tragically, the Octopus soon got its tentacles into Casolaro and dragged him down to an untimely death.
On the Area 51 angle, things got even more controversial. Casolaro was told that a secret group, known as Majestic 12, oversaw at Area 51 the wreckage and alien bodies said to have been found in New Mexico in the summer of 1947 – the legendary Roswell affair, of course. For the record, the Majestic 12 issue has been an integral one to the field of Ufology for decades. For some UFO investigators, Majestic 12 is the real deal. For others, though, it’s nothing but government disinformation designed to confuse the Roswell incident even further. Unfortunately, Casolaro did not live to see the truth of the Octopus unveiled – by himself, he hoped. The matter of his death in August 1991 ensured that. While Casolaro’s death could have been due to suicide – certainly, that’s what it looked like – there were solid and valid reasons to suggest that his death was due to something very different. At the time of his passing, Casolaro was certainly not in a state of woe or depression. It was the exact opposite: he was energized by new leads, and new revelations, in his quest to find the truth of the Octopus, its activities, and its motivations. The mystery remains exactly that: a mystery.

Now, let's jump back to the 1960s and a journalist named Dorothy Kilgallen, who had an interest in the UFO subject. For Kilgallen, it was when she started to dig into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy - at Dallas’ Grassy Knoll - that things began to get dicey for her. She was particularly interested in the connections between JFK’s alleged murderer, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Dallas strip-club-owner, Jack Ruby; a man who knew all the influential, powerful, and murderous characters – including the Mob - who called Dallas their home. When Oswald was shot and killed by Ruby on November 24, 1963, Kilgallen really sat up, suspecting that Oswald had been killed to prevent him from revealing what he knew of the complexities surrounding the president’s death.
Things got even more intriguing when Kilgallen got her hands on an advance copy of the controversy-filled Warren Report that investigated the death of JFK. How she got a hold of that is still a much-debated issue for those who haven’t given up on the matter of who was behind the president’s killing. Kilgallen even managed to secure an interview with Ruby, himself. Kilgallen was no fool: she knew that, by that time, her life was in a fair degree of danger. Kilgallen’s hairdresser, Marc Sinclaire, made no bones about it: “Her life had been threatened.” The threats became more and more. Then, on November 8, 1965, Kilgallen was found stone cold dead. As well as looking deep into the JFK assassination, Kilgallen was also tied to the UFO mystery. There’s little doubt at all Dorothy Kilgallen had an interest in the UFO phenomenon; in 1954, she said, in a press article, that: “Flying Saucers are regarded as of such vital importance that they will be the subject of a special hush-hush meeting of the world military heads next summer.” If such a thing went ahead, it was carefully hidden to the media and the public.
(Nick Redfern) Marilyn Monroe murdered for what she knew about UFOs?)
Sadly, Kilgallen died at a young age and under suspicious circumstances. Was it an accidental case of Kilgallen being fatally fueled by too much booze and too many pills? A suicide? Or, a skillful murder made to look like one of the two scenarios above? Just like Marilyn Monroe’s death, the questions – even now, decades later - are many, but the answers are sorely lacking. The mystery remains. As does Kilgallen’s involvement in controversies of the UFO kind. And, talking about Marilyn, what about her link to the UFO phenomenon? Murders made to look like suicides and accidents. Classified government documents fallen into the wrong hands. Stolen diaries; some of them burned and shredded for fear of what, one day, they might reveal. Powerful people with dangerous agendas. Famous faces. The Feds prowling around. Hollywood conspiracies. CIA agents keeping watch. Frightened people with secrets to hide. Wild sex. Drugs. Crazy parties and flowing booze. And, an incredible story of UFOs, aliens, Roswell, Area 51, Flying Saucers, and the death of a beautiful, but tragically scarred, icon. They all appear in the final years of Marilyn's life.
In 1955, one of the most controversial of all the many and varied UFO books published in the fifties was released – and, for the UFO field, to a distinct fanfare. Its title was The Case for the UFO. The author was Morris K. Jessup. His book was a detailed study of the theoretical power-sources for UFOs: what was it that made them fly? How could they perform such incredible, aerial feats, such as coming to a complete stop in the skies, hovering at incredible heights? Jessup believed that the vitally important answers lay in the domain of gravity. Or, as he saw it: anti-gravity. Jessup may well have been onto something, as it wasn’t long at all before the world of officialdom was on Jessup’s back – specifically senior figures in the U.S., Navy. And it was one particularly intriguing office of the Navy that was watching Jessup – a “special weapons” division. Clearly, someone in officialdom was interested in, and perhaps even concerned by, Jessup’s findings and theories.
In the early evening of April 20, 1959, the lifeless body of Morris Jessup was found in his car, which was parked in the Matheson Hammock Park in Miami, Florida. The car’s engine was still running and a hosepipe, affixed to the exhaust, had been fed through the driver’s side window. Jessup was dead from the effects of carbon-monoxide. Jessup’s body was found by a man named John Goode, who worked at the park. Shocked at the sight before him, Goode quickly called the police, who arrived in no time at all. While it certainly looked as if Jessup had killed himself, not everyone was quite so sure that things were as clear cut as that. The window through which the hose was stuffed with a couple of towels, to prevent air from getting in and carbon-monoxide from getting out. Curiously, Mrs. Jessup - Rubeye – confirmed that the towels were not theirs.
Why, if Jessup took his own life, did he not take towels from the family home? What would have been the point of buying new towels? And, if he did buy such towels, where was the receipt from the store they were purchased from? It certainly wasn’t in the car, or in any of Jessup’s pockets. Equally suspicious is the fact that on the very night before his death, Jessup was in a very upbeat, fired-up mood: he spent more than an hour chatting on the phone with a good friend, Dr. Manson Valentine, expressing his enthusiasm for his latest work and plans for further investigations. Jessup even told Valentine that they should have lunch together the next day, as Jessup had something incredible to reveal. Valentine never got to see what it was that Jessup had uncovered – and he never saw Jessup again, either. Suicide or murder? The jury still can’t make its mind up, decades later.
May 22, 1949 was the date on which the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, died. Specifically at 1:50 a.m. As will quickly become apparent, the circumstances surrounding Forrestal’s final hours are swamped in controversy. All that we know with absolute certainty is that in the early hours of the 22nd, Forrestal’s body was found on a third-floor canopy of the Bethesda Naval Hospital, Maryland. Did he take a fatal leap out of the window of the 13th floor of the hospital, his mind in turmoil and suicide on his mind? Was it an accident? Or, was Forrestal assassinated? For years, there have been rumors to the effect that Forrestal lost his life to an assassin - and because of what he knew of UFOs. And what he might have been on the verge of revealing what he knew. Ufology: sometimes it just might be deadly. Consider that when you do your next investigation into the subject of aliens and UFOs.

Zo werden er ook nadat zijn hart gestopt was nog hersengolven gemeten en zou het zomaar kunnen dat stervende mensen de hoogtepunten uit hun leven echt aan zich voorbij zien schieten.
Wanneer neurochirurg Ajmal Zemmar de elektroden op het hoofd van zijn 87-jarige patiënt met epilepsie laat plaatsen, kan hij onmogelijk weten dat deze patiënt postuum een hoofdrol zal gaan spelen in zijn volgende onderzoeksartikel dat zal handelen over de hersenactiviteit in een stervend brein. De hoogbejaarde epilepsiepatiënt in kwestie is na een val in het ziekenhuis opgenomen en Zemmar en zijn team stellen alles in het werk om hem te helpen. Met behulp van de elektroden wordt zijn hersenactiviteit continu gemeten en kunnen epileptische aanvallen gedetecteerd en behandeld worden. Maar ondanks de goede zorgen van de artsen gaat de man zienderogen achteruit om vervolgens – toch nog onverwacht en met de elektroden nog op de schedel – aan een hartaanval te overlijden.
Uniek Het is een tragische gebeurtenis, onder unieke omstandigheden. Want terwijl deze man sterft, wordt zijn hersenactiviteit continu gemeten. En daarmee stelt de onverwachte tragedie de artsen in staat om te bestuderen wat er in een stervend brein gebeurt. Hun bevindingen zijn deze week in het blad Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience verschenen en in meerdere opzichten opmerkelijk.
Het onderzoek In de studie focussen de artsen en onderzoekers zich op de hersenactiviteit die in de laatste 30 seconden voor het stilvallen van het hart en de 30 seconden daarna is gemeten. “Net voor het hart stopte met werken zagen we veranderingen optreden in hersengolven met een specifieke frequentie, de zogenoemde gammagolven,” zo legt hoofdauteur Zemmar aan Scientias.nl uit. “Dit zijn hersengolven met een hoge frequentie die in het dagelijks leven in verband worden gebracht met de hogere cognitieve functies, zoals het ophalen van herinneringen, mediteren en concentreren. Wanneer we met dat soort dingen bezig zijn, zien we de gammagolven toenemen.” En opmerkelijk genoeg zagen de onderzoekers een vergelijkbare toename in gammagolven kort voor het hart van de 87-jarige patiënt stopte met kloppen. “En niet alleen van gammagolven,” benadrukt Zemmar. “Ook van hersengolven met een andere frequentie, zoals delta-, theta-, alpha- en betagolven. Maar de toename van gammagolven sprong wel het meest in het oog.”
Hoewel enige terughoudendheid in de interpretatie van de veranderingen in hersenactiviteit op zijn plaats is, durven Zemmar en collega’s wel enigszins te speculeren over waar het brein zo kort voor het intreden van de dood mee bezig was. “Wat we zien, is dat de gammagolven kort voor- en nadat het hart gestopt is, hetzelfde patroon volgen als in gezonde mensen die herinneringen ophalen of dromen. En hoewel we niet met zekerheid kunnen zeggen wat het brein van de stervende patiënt aan het doen was, lijkt het – als we alle data naast elkaar leggen – zeker niet ondenkbaar dat de hersenen de belangrijke en fijne herinneringen nog eens afspeelden en de patiënt zijn leven dus aan zich voorbij zag schieten.”
Toename hersenactiviteit na de dood Wat minstens zo interessant is, is dat de elektroden ook nadat het hart van de patiënt stil was gevallen nog hersengolven detecteerden. “Dat is heel verrassend,” stelt Zemmar. “Want je zou denken dat wanneer het hart stopt met het rondpompen van bloed, ook het brein dood is. Het feit dat er na het stilvallen van het hart nog hersengolven werden gedetecteerd, suggereert voorzichtig dat de hersenactiviteit nadat het hart stopt met kloppen mogelijk nog doorgaat,” aldus Zemmar. Maar het is nog veel te vroeg om op basis van deze observaties conclusies te trekken over waar het brein na het stilvallen van het hart nog toe in staat is. “De data zijn slechts afkomstig van één casus en het is op dit moment niet mogelijk om met zekerheid te zeggen dat de waargenomen hersenactiviteit ook echt bewijst dat het brein nog functioneel actief is, in die zin dat de patiënt nog steeds droomt of flashbacks heeft,” onderstreept Zemmar.
Eén casus Hoewel de observaties bijzonder fascinerend zijn, wil Zemmar graag benadrukken dat de interpretaties ervan vooralsnog echt speculatief zijn. “Daarbij is het belangrijk om nogmaals te vermelden dat het allemaal gebaseerd is op slechts één casus: het brein van één patiënt. En die patiënt had hersenbeschadigingen: bloedingen en zwelling. Die kunnen de hersenactiviteit beïnvloed hebben en dat maakt het interpreteren ervan misschien nog wel lastiger.”
Eerdere dierproeven Met deze ene, bijzondere casus zijn de data als het om de activiteit in stervende menselijke hersenen gaat, dus dun gezaaid. Maar dat er rond het sterven weleens iets bijzonders kan gebeuren in het brein, is eerder ook al gesuggereerd op basis van dierproeven. “In 2013 is er in de VS een experiment uitgevoerd waarbij wetenschappers ervoor zorgden dat gezonde ratten – terwijl de hersenactiviteit van de dieren gemonitord werd – een hartaanval kregen en overleden,” vertelt Zemmar. En opvallend genoeg zagen de wetenschappers in de hersenen van die ratten kort voor het stoppen van het hart dezelfde veranderingen in gammagolven optreden als nu in het brein van de 87-jarige man zijn waargenomen. “Dat is toch wel verrassend,” vindt Zemmar. “Want ratten en mensen staan evolutionair gezien nogal ver van elkaar vandaan.” Het interpreteren van deze opmerkelijke overeenkomst tussen stervende ratten en mensen is opnieuw lastig. “Maar misschien hebben we hier wel te maken met een oude, biologische respons die door de evolutie van soorten heen geconserveerd is.” In dat scenario zou je denken dat de hersenactiviteit op het moment van sterven een belangrijke functie heeft. Maar ook daar kunnen we enkel naar gissen. “Misschien is de biologische respons er wel op gericht om ons – middels het ophalen van fijne herinneringen – te kalmeren voor we sterven,” speculeert Zemmar. “En misschien is het wel gewoon een mechanisme dat in gang wordt gebracht als we gaan sterven en waarvan we de consequenties op dit moment niet begrijpen.”
Vervolgonderzoek Voor nu lijkt de ene casus meer vragen op te roepen dan te beantwoorden. Toch voelden Zemmar en collega’s sterk de behoefte om hun observaties met de wereld te delen. “Allereerst omdat de observaties vragen oproepen die niet alleen interessant zijn vanuit wetenschappelijk oogpunt, maar ook van belang zijn voor de samenleving,” vertelt Zemmar. Hij denkt dan bijvoorbeeld aan de observatie dat de hersenactiviteit enige tijd nadat het hart al is gestopt met kloppen, nog doorgang vindt. “Dat zet je als arts aan het denken: want wat is nu het moment waarop je iemand dood kunt verklaren en bijvoorbeeld orgaandonatie in gang kunt zetten?” Daarnaast hoopt Zemmar dat de publicatie ertoe leidt dat meer van deze (toevallig verzamelde) EEG-scans komen bovendrijven. “Wij presenteren de allereerste observaties van een stervend mensenbrein. Pas als we meer van dit soort observaties hebben, kunnen we bepalen of wat wij hebben zien gebeuren een universeel fenomeen is.”
Dat ook die laatste momenten van het leven het verdienen om nader onderzocht te worden, staat voor Zemmar vast. Dergelijke studies kunnen namelijk belangrijke implicaties hebben voor de omgang met en zorg voor stervende mensen én hun geliefden. “Als neurochirurg heb ik regelmatig met overlijdens te maken. En ik weet hoe moeilijk het is voor familieleden om te zien dat hun familielid, waarmee ze soms niet meer kunnen communiceren, stervende is. Als dokter sta je er dan bij en wens je vurig dat je meer zou kunnen doen. Wat zou het fijn zijn als we de familieleden op zo’n moment meer inzicht kunnen geven in wat er in het brein van hun geliefde gebeurt en hen – op basis van nader wetenschappelijk onderzoek – kunnen vertellen dat hun geliefde op dat moment kalm is, omdat zijn of haar brein de mooiste herinneringen die hij of zij bij leven heeft opgedaan nog eens afspeelt.”
