The U.S. Intelligence Community Monitors UFO Researchers’ Activities: First Implemented by the CIA in 1953, the Practice Continues Today

     In 1973, when I began interviewing former/retired U.S. military personnel regarding their UFO experiences at nuclear weapons facilities, I didn’t give much thought to the possibility that the intelligence community would take an interest in my activities.

At that point, the CIA’s “Robertson Panel” Report—which recommended surveillance of American UFO-research advocacy groups—was still classified. Indeed, as far as the public knew, the only component of the U.S. government responsible for UFO-related matters was the Air Force.

However, that myth slowly faded away as classified documents began to be pried loose for public inspection via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). By the early-1980s, the involvement of the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA in the collection of UFO-related data had been firmly established.

My own naiveté regarding what I considered to be the remote possibility of covert surveillance of my own activities was shattered in early 1982, shortly after I first went out on the American college lecture circuit to report my findings. Those public programs resulted in media coverage by numerous newspapers, including the New York Times, as well as the Associated Press and United Press International.

Apparently, FBI also took notice.

 

In 2012, veteran UFO researcher and Freedom of Information requestor Larry W. Bryant sent me a letter he had received from the FBI—in response to an FOIA request on my behalf—in which the bureau acknowledged that their records indicated the existence of files on my UFO-related activities. However, according the letter, a search for those files was unsuccessful because they were supposedly “missing”. Neither Bryant nor I believe that to be the case.

The first indication I had that someone was monitoring my research activities came within months of my first national publicity. It was/is my practice to tape record my interviews with the military veterans—who have described observing UFOs maneuvering near or hovering over ICBM sites, nuclear weapons storage areas, or similar locations. Beginning in February 1982, after each and every telephone conversation with one of those individuals, recorded with their permission, it became clear that someone was tapping my phone.

After each interview, only moments after hanging-up, I received a mysterious call from someone who said nothing, even though I could hear background noises, who then hung-up after 30 seconds or so. I stress that this odd pattern only occurred after I had spoken with this or that veteran, who was divulging dramatic information about one nukes-related UFO incident or another. It never happened after one of my calls to my family or friends, or at any other time. The pattern continued for several months.

Obviously, someone was attempting to intimidate me or, at the very least, was just letting me know that they were aware of who I was talking to. As I have repeatedly said over the years, I guess I was too stupid to be scared because I continued with my efforts to learn what the U.S. government was hiding from the public, relating to UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites.

I now have more than 140 U.S. military veterans on-the-record—I just spoke with a new source earlier today, a former Minuteman missile Electro-Mechanical Technician who sighted a UFO at Minot AFB in 1968—and I am happy to report that the FBI has never contacted any of those guys. In other words, regardless of who was tapping my phone, there were no repercussions for the persons who had agreed to speak with me. And, to date, no one has ever shown up at my door either.

That said, in one recent case, someone did learn about my telephone and email communications with a retired Air Force missile targeting technician who had made a few inquiries on my behalf, relating to a widely-publicized missile communications-disruption incident at F.E. Warren AFB, in Wyoming, on October 23, 2010.

That individual was in touch with a few of the active duty missile maintenance personnel who had responded to the problem, during which 50 ICBMs became temporarily unavailable because the base could not communicate with the launch officers who controlled them. Officially, the disruption had lasted 59 minutes and was caused by an improperly-replaced computer card in a weapons-control processor.

However, what my retired Air Force contact learned about the incident, from the missile maintenance techs who had responded to it, was much different: The event involved an intermittent communications disruption that actually lasted more than a day, not a mere 59 minutes, as the Air Force claims.

More importantly, several independent maintenance teams returned to the base reporting their sighting of a huge, cigar-shaped object in the sky above the missile field. My contact was told that the entire missile maintenance squadron had been unexpectedly assembled and admonished by its commander not to speak about “the things they may or may not have seen” in the sky. Clearly, the aerial object was not a blimp.

Unfortunately, I was later informed by my contact that two of those missile technicians, upon retiring in June 2011, were informed by their superiors that a “flag” had been placed in their Air Force service records, relating to their unauthorized disclosures about the incident.

Obviously, someone had been monitoring their emailed conversations with my go-between, who later forwarded their comments to me. This development meant that the two men would have difficulty finding work in the aerospace field after leaving the service.

I of course felt very badly about this development, even though my contact has said that the two individuals had been fully informed that he was passing information on to me about an apparent UFO maneuvering above F.E. Warren’s nuclear missiles during the communications-disruption incident.

In this type of situation—where active duty Air Force personnel leak information about UFOs near nuclear weapons sites to outsiders—the Pentagon becomes trapped by its own deceptive policy of claiming that UFOs pose no threat to U.S. national security. (It was this official stance—UFOs, even if they exist, are not a threat—that was used to justify the closure of the Air Force’s UFO study, Project Blue Book, in 1969.)

The two individuals who reported multiple sightings of the huge cigar-shaped craft by missile maintenance teams at F.E. Warren AFB in October 2010—at a time when 50 ICBMs were effectively offline—cannot be prosecuted for divulging classified information because, among other repercussions, the Air Force higher-ups would have to openly admit that they took the UFO reports seriously and went so far as to admonish an entire missile squadron not to talk about the incident.

In short, any open prosecution of the two men would risk turning a media spotlight on the whole affair, thereby raising public awareness about the true nature of the event—something the Pentagon definitely does not want to happen.

And so the game goes on. The Air Force continues to claim that UFOs pose no risk to U.S. national security. Meanwhile, veterans slowly but surely come forward to report UFOs at various nuclear missile bases—as far back as 1962 and as recently as 2010—which often appeared just as some of America’s nuclear missiles mysteriously malfunctioned. Maybe, someday, the public will be let in on the truth.

Last week, Larry Bryant sent me a letter he had composed on my behalf, directed to the National Security Agency (NSA), asking that any and all NSA files containing information regarding my UFO-related activities to be released to me, pursuant to requirements stipulated in the federal law known as the Privacy Act. That missive has been inserted below:

- click on image to enlarge -

I suspect that, after a lengthy runaround, I will be told by NSA that no such files exist. Or, perhaps, those files will be discovered to be “missing” just like the FBI files on my research activities. Regardless, the agency certainly will not be candid with me, no matter what the facts are.

 "La fusion thermonucléaire : difficultés budgétaires... et scientifiques"

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/energy/2013/07/130726-fusion-national-ignition-facility-budget/?source=hp_dl1_news_fusion_national_ignition_facility_20130731

"[La fusion thermonucléaire, l'énergie totale d'une étoile, c'est le but que s'est fixé] la National Ignition Facility (NIF) [du Laboratoire National Livermore,] (1) grâce à 192 lasers géants formant une structure grande comme 3 terrains de football (américain). Tirés simultanément, les faisceaux laser frappent une cible d'hydrogène solide de la taille d'un grain de poivre en suspension dans une chambre de 10 m de diamètre. La puissance des faisceaux atteint 500 TW (500.000 milliards de Watts) -- l'équivalent de 1000 fois la quantité d'énergie utilisée par tous les États-Unis pendant la même période de quelques trillionièmes de seconde. (...) L'hydrogène, contracté à moins d'un millième de son volume original, atteint une densité 100 fois supérieure à celle du plomb et la température du centre d'une étoile ; ainsi les noyaux fusionnent avec libération d'énergie.
D'après les simulations informatiques du NIF, la fusion de l'hydrogène devrait générer plus d'énergie que les lasers eux-mêmes -- un processus appelé "allumage". Malheureusement la Nature a obstinément refusé de coopérer : l'allumage n'a pas eu lieu."

Les travaux continuent. Personnellement je fais confiance au NIF. Ils finiront par y arriver. Ce qui, normalement, devrait nous faire sauter l'étape du Type I de Kardashev pour passer directement au Type II : une civilisation capable d'utiliser l'énergie totale de son étoile, soit 10^26 W. Vous en connaissez, vous, dans l'environnement galactique immédiat, capables de faire ça ? C'est à voir.

Fusion Energy Quest Faces Boundaries of Budget, Science

For National Geographic

Published July 26, 2013

Part of our weekly "In Focus" series—stepping back, looking closer.

A large banner hangs from the front of the stadium-size building that houses the world's most powerful array of lasers: "Bringing Star Power To Earth."

For the past four years, physicists at the National Ignition Facility, or NIF, in Livermore, California, have been trying to harness nuclear fusion, the same reaction that powers the sun and the stars. Supporters of the $3.5 billion facility believe that a successful outcome to the experiments could help usher in an era of nearly limitless energy. But the ambitious fusion research program at NIF now faces an uncertain future, both politically and scientifically.

On the political side, President Obama's proposed budget for fiscal year 2014 would reduce funding for fusion experiments at NIF by more than $60 million, putting it nearly 14 percent below the 2013 level. Key committees in both the House and Senate favor restoring part of NIF's funding, and a compromise will eventually emerge, but budget constraints aren't the only challenge facing NIF. Physicists working on the project expected to have succeeded in their quest for fusion energy by now. They're currently struggling to figure out what went wrong.

Tiny Stars, Big Lasers

There's an old joke about fusion: It's the energy source of the future, and always will be. Physicists have been pursuing the dream of controlling fusion energy for some 60 years now. Unlike nuclear fission, which releases energy when the nucleus of a heavy atom like uranium splits into two lighter nuclei, fusion generates energy when two separate light nuclei smash together to form a single, heavier nucleus. In fission, the energy comes from breaking the bonds of force that held the original heavy atom together; with fusion, the energy source is more esoteric—some of the mass from each of the two light nuclei is converted directly into energy when they fuse, in accordance with Einstein's iconic law, E=mc2.

Both fission and fusion release tremendous amounts of energy. One pound of enriched uranium used in a conventional nuclear power plant contains about as much energy as a million gallons of gasoline. Fusion yields even more energy—about three to four times as much as fission reactions. And while fission reactions generate waste that remains radioactive for millennia, fusion's byproducts become harmless within decades. Moreover, the world possesses a nearly infinite source of fusion fuel—the hydrogen atoms found in water.

Unfortunately for the world's energy needs, fusion presents far greater technical challenges than fission, which physicists mastered in the 1940s. It takes relatively little energy to split a nucleus—fission can even happen spontaneously. But for fusion to occur—that is, to force two nuclei to join—physicists must replicate the hellish temperatures and pressures found inside stars.

 

Scientists access the NIF target chamber using a service system lift. "I've dedicated my life to this," says Ed Moses, principal associate director. "I'm committed to understanding it."

NIF seeks to do that with 192 giant lasers, which occupy a space as large as three football fields. Fired simultaneously, the laser beams blast a peppercorn-size speck of frozen hydrogen suspended in a 30-foot-wide target chamber with about 500 trillion watts of power—about 1,000 times the amount of energy used by the entire United States during that same few trillionths of a second. (Because the lasers fire so briefly, NIF uses only about $20 of electricity for each burst.) Crushed to less than a thousandth of its original volume, the hydrogen becomes 100 times denser than lead and hotter than the center of a star; the nuclei fuse and release bursts of energy.

According to NIF's computer simulations, the fused hydrogen should generate more energy than the lasers put in—a process called ignition. Nature, unfortunately, has stubbornly refused to cooperate. There has been no ignition at the National Ignition Facility.

When physicists first turned on all the lasers at NIF in February 2009, they set a goal of reaching ignition by October 1, 2012. NIF's lasers routinely cause fusion, but the energy pumped in by the lasers still exceeds the energy created by the fusing hydrogen. The failure to meet that ignition deadline is the main reason the President, with the support of at least some in Congress, decided to cut NIF's budget.

"From a back-of-the-envelope calculation, the lasers do deposit enough energy onto the hydrogen pellet to do the job," said Robert Rosner, a physicist at the University of Chicago and the former director of Argonne National Laboratory. "The $64,000 question—actually a lot more than $64,000—is, why is the actual energy captured by the pellet in its implosion so much lower than that, by close to a factor of ten?"

Like a Leaky Piston

Ed Moses, the photon science principal associate director at NIF, says the researchers there are focusing on solving two critical problems. For ignition to occur, the hydrogen pellet must remain perfectly spherical as the lasers compress it. Using X-ray cameras to track the imploding hydrogen, physicists have found that the pellet deforms just as fusion starts. It assumes a lumpy, clover shape, a sign that the hydrogen is losing heat and pressure during its compression. "It's like a leaky piston, and the pressure doesn't keep going up," says Moses. The other problem concerns the thin plastic shell that encases the hydrogen fuel. Bits of it might be mixing with the hot imploding hydrogen, cooling it and squashing ignition.

"We have shown our ability to compress the diameter of the fuel to where it would ignite if it were round, which is something people would have found unbelievable a few years ago," says Moses. "What we haven't shown yet is that we can get the shape we need as we go in, and that we can prevent mixing."

A recent report by the National Research Council recommended that NIF be given three more years to solve its problems and determine whether the facility is even capable of achieving ignition. Some critics argue that NIF needs to adopt a fundamentally different research strategy, a critique endorsed by the report. David Hammer, a physicist at Cornell University, says the NIF team treated their fusion experiments like an engineering project, and assumed that they could achieve ignition if they tweaked the lasers just right from one "shot" to the next.

"It was misplaced confidence," said Hammer. "They would not accept that the different stages of the experiments were not well understood, and they went on to the next step anyway." The NIF researchers should have been more systematic, he said, starting at lower energies to make sure the computer predictions matched reality. "If they didn't get it right at some low level, then figure out what's wrong, because it's a lot easier to figure things out when you're not driving an experiment to its limits. And once you've understood it at say, half-energy, then you gradually build up and see how the experiment moves away from predictions of the computer code. I think if they had started a more science-oriented program in 2009, when the lasers were finished, they'd be a lot closer to ignition now."

 

NIF isn't the only fusion project competing for federal dollars. The United States is also investing in an international collaboration that plans to harness fusion using a completely different strategy from NIF's. Now under construction in France, ITER, short for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, will use powerful magnetic fields to compress a plasma—essentially hydrogen gas heated to such high temperatures that the electrons and protons in the hydrogen fly apart—until the protons fuse. The $20 billion project, which is scheduled to begin its first experiments in November 2020, aims to produce ten times the amount of energy needed to run it. But that 2020 deadline is likely to recede, given that President Obama's budget would cap future United States contributions to ITER at $225 million. The budget would also cut funds for a fusion laboratory at MIT, one of the three American projects conducting experiments related to ITER.

A final decision on NIF's funding is months away, as budget wrangling continues on Capitol Hill.

"Right now we're in the era of incremental government," said Representative Eric Swalwell, a Democrat, whose district includes the facility at Livermore. "We govern by crisis these days, which is really unfortunate, because while science is very unpredictable, when it comes to funding, scientists need certainty."

Nuclear Weapons and Getting to the World Series

Even with the proposed budget cuts, NIF will continue to operate for decades. Achieving ignition is only one aspect of the lab's mission. Its primary purpose—one that will most likely overshadow fusion research in the years ahead—is to enable the United States to maintain its stockpile of nuclear weapons. The country has observed a ban on explosive testing since 1992, and classified work at NIF tests components of nuclear weapons without the need to blow anything up. That aspect of NIF's research has broad bipartisan support, and the President's budget for 2014 would increase funding for the lab's weapons-testing program.

But ignition is the game-changing research that inspires most of the physicists who work at NIF.

"I've dedicated my life to this," said Moses. "I'm committed to understanding it. I think it's likely we'll work through all these issues. We have this three-year time line we've agreed to. If we're funded and can do our experiments, we think we can explore this phenomenon pretty completely in that time period. In sports, over a long season, some things go well, sometimes you boot the ball. The question is, how do you get to the World Series? And that's what we're trying to do."

Ovni : «Il est peu probable de croiser des extraterrestres»

Ovni

A Toulouse comme ailleurs des milliers de personnes scrutent les mystères du ciel./Photo DDM, Thierry Bordas

 

 

La queue de baleine lumineuse observée début juin, dans le ciel toulousain ? «Nous n’avons pas pu recouper le témoignage. Il n’y a que l’observateur qui l’a vue», regrette Jacques Patenet. Cet ancien directeur du très sérieux Geipan, le groupe d’études et d’informations sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés, dépendant du Cnes, le centre national des études spatiales de Toulouse, n’a pas lâché sa passion depuis qu’il est parti à la retraite. Au mois de mars, il est devenu le responsable national de Mufon France, un réseau mutualisé de collectes de données, très influent aux États-Unis, qui compte des dizaines de milliers de membres dans le monde. Les yeux tournés vers le ciel, ces enquêteurs de l’étrange traquent tout ce qui sort de l’ordinaire au-dessus de nos têtes.

«Nous leur proposons une méthodologie, via des grilles d’interprétation des phénomènes observés. Nous les guidons dans leur recherche».

Car Jacques Patenet est d’abord un scientifique rationaliste. Pas question de délirer sur les petits hommes verts. «Qu’il y ait des formes de vies extraterrestres dans l’univers, c’est probable. Mais que des civilisations identiques à la nôtre, même à quelques milliers d’années près, se croisent, c’est plus compliqué».

Alors comment interpréter les anomalies et les phénomènes non identifiés aperçus dans le ciel ?

«Ces observations restent mystérieuses jusqu’au jour où on peut les expliquer, tempère Jacques Patenet. Pendant longtemps, des pilotes d’avions ont décrit des grandes traînées lumineuses intenses. Des sprites. Il a fallu prendre de la hauteur avec les astronautes pour comprendre qu’il s’agissait d’orages à très hautes altitudes»… La science finirait donc par tout expliquer ? «Attention, je ne dis pas qu’il ne peut pas se produire des choses étranges. Je n’exclus rien», souligne le directeur de Mufon France. Il remarque quand même que les histoires les plus extraordinaires sont aussi les plus anciennes. Quand on connaissait moins bien notre environnement. Comme à Cussac, en Ardèche, en 1954, où des enfants ont vu des «Martiens» débarquer d’une soucoupe volante… Il n’y a pas eu de suite à cette prise de contact. «Peut-être qu’un jour, on tombera sur un truc incroyable», veut croire Jacques Patenet. Seule certitude, depuis le début de l’année, les ufologues de la région n’ont rien eu à se mettre sous la dent. Ce qui n’est pas une raison pour arrêter de scruter le ciel. Et ses mystères.

Deux sites internet incontournables avec celui du Geipan : mufon-france.fr et les-rencontres-ufologiques.com

Ancien directeur du Geipan, le groupe d’études et d’informations sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés, Jacques Patenet consacre sa retraite aux mystères du ciel.

More unsettling military UFO encounters by Doc Vega. There are many interconnecting testimonies and documented incidents that tend to corroborate claims that an actual deep underground military base (DUMB) is located near Dulce, New Mexico. Aside for the decades long saga of cattle mutilations that forced ranchers like the Gomez family to leave the business due to excessive losses of cattle, the purported underground firefight between humans and alien entities reported by Phil Schneider, a government geological expert, and numerous sightings made by Native Americans living in the immediate area, more evidence continues to pour in. More... Also read: More unsettling events at Dulce Part II

Déjà vu, Reality Glitches, What Are the Possibilities? by Diane Tessman. We’ve all had deju vu moments, a term which means “re-seeing” or “already seen.” This experience is an anomaly in reality itself, and yet we just stop for a second and say to ourselves, “Huh?” and then go on about our daily lives. In fact, an enormous event has happened, an “ad lib” moment in quantum reality of which Schrodinger and his cat, would be proud.More...

The Curse of the Vampire; Or the Truth about Christian Fundamentalist Inspired Genocide by Pat Regan . Most of us are familiar with the dark and sinister figure of the vampire made popular by Bram Stoker and actors like Christopher Lee. We all know that the ‘undead’ are deterred by garlic and the sign of the holy crucifix. This latter point is quite interesting, yet its symbolism is really nothing to do with any sacred conflict between good and evil. More...

White Orb/UFO flies over Hamilton, Ontario by Dirk Vander Ploeg. A Hamilton, Ontario witness reported the following sighting at 9:36 PM on 12 July 2012 to the MUFON database. I was driving down Main and had just made a left onto Spadina Avenue. As I was pulling up to the first set of stop signs at the first intersection on Spadina and Dunsmure Road, there was a car going to park in his/her driveway and another one coming through the intersection.

Book Review of The Kendall Stone by AJ. Due to the nature of my own research, one of the aspects of The Kendall Stone this reviewer found most interesting is; nearly everything about the story contained within its pages has been documented as having already occurred, is happening at the present moment, or is forecast – by different people across our World – to occur; and most likely, in our own lifetimes. We can therefore categorize this book not as a simple novel, but as faction: a cross between fiction and nonfiction. More...

Alien propulsion details revealed by Warren Aston. Learning how ET travels to Earth from the stars has always been one of Ufology’s biggest mysteries. And since extra-terrestrial craft began crashing - at least by the 1930’s - discovering these secrets has been a prime motive behind the military-industrial recovery of crashed craft and attempts to back-engineer them. Most UFO researchers are convinced that substantial progress has been made covertly in replicating these craft, as famously indicated by Lockheed scientist Ben Rich’s 1993 comments to the effect that the US now has the means to “take ET home.” More...

Hunt for alien spacecraft begins, as planet-spotting scientist Geoff Marcy gets funding

In the field of planet hunting, Geoff Marcy is a star. After all, the astronomer at the University of California at Berkeley found nearly three-quarters of the first 100 planets discovered outside our solar system. But with the hobbled planet-hunting Kepler telescope having just about reached the end of its useful life and reams of data from the mission still left uninvestigated, Marcy began looking in June for more than just new planets. He's sifting through the data to find alien spacecraft passing in front of distant stars.

He's not kidding - and now he has the funding to do it.

If intelligent life is common in the galaxy, "where is everybody?" 

Last fall, the Templeton Foundation, a philanthropic organisation dedicated to investigating what it calls the "big questions" - which, unsurprisingly, include "Are we alone?" - awarded Marcy $US200,000 to pursue his search for alien civilisations.

What astronomer Geoff Marcy doesn't hope to find: A Death Star Photo: Wookieepedia

As far as Marcy, an official NASA researcher for the Kepler mission, is concerned, that question has a clear answer: "The universe is simply too large for there not to be another intelligent civilisation out there. Really, the proper question is: 'How far away is our nearest intelligent neighbour?' They could be 10 light-years, 100 light-years, a million light-years or more. We have no idea."

Advertisement

To answer that question Marcy has begun to sift through the Kepler data and to search the heavens for a galactic laser Internet that might be in use somewhere out there. (More on that in a bit.)

Launched in 2009, Kepler was designed as a four-year mission to detect planets - habitable or otherwise - around distant stars by measuring the dimming of those stars as orbiting bodies pass in front of them. In May, a component of the spacecraft designed to keep it pointing precisely failed, dealing a crushing blow to Marcy and his colleagues who last year convinced NASA to extend funding for the mission into 2016, which Marcy says would have allowed researchers to further refine the number of known Earthlike planets in our galactic neighbourhood.

"It's a heartbreaker," he says. "People are reacting a little bit as if a close family member died. There's this combination of severe depression and confusion, coupled with denial."

Successful so far

Kepler has been wildly successful in its four years. To date, it has found 132 exoplanets - that is, planets outside our solar system - and possibly 3216 more that await confirmation. Researchers have extrapolated from Kepler data that our Milky Way galaxy alone contains at least 100 billion exoplanets, as many planets as there are stars. Still, with the telescope - which is 40 million miles from Earth - having collected data on 150,000 star systems, researchers are only beginning to pick through all the information.

Marcy hopes that hiding within it will be hints about intelligent life abroad. What if, say, the dimming of a star that Kepler observes is caused by something even more fanciful than the passage of extrasolar planets? Something synthetic, perhaps? Marcy admits that even he's not certain what he's looking for.

"I do know that if I saw a star that winked out, then at some point it winked back on again, then winked out for a long, long time and then blinked on again, that that would be so weird," he says. "Obviously that wouldn't constitute the detection of an advanced civilisation yet, but it would at least alert us that follow-up observations are warranted."

Such an irregular pattern might signal the leisurely and unpredictable passage of massive spacecraft in front of the star. But, perhaps more likely, it might indicate the presence of a Dyson sphere, a mainstay of science fiction first proposed by physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960.

The concept is simple. The energy needs of a civilisation a thousand or a million years more advanced than our own would probably be vastly greater than those of even the most profligate earthlings. The greatest source of energy in a solar system is its star, and that energy could be captured by building a massive structure tiled with solar panels enveloping the star - the ultimate green jobs initiative.

Under the second law of thermodynamics, the structure would produce incredible amounts of waste heat in the form of infrared radiation. In September, a Penn State team led by astrophysics professor Jason Wright began searching the sky for just that by combing through data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. The Penn State work is also being funded by Templeton.

If Dyson spheres pop up in the data, Marcy thinks they would more likely appear as a patchwork of solar panels rather than a solid sphere. Perhaps the dimming of a star would be erratic or quasi-periodic, unlike the regular transit of planets.

To detect such aberrant dimming patterns, Marcy's Templeton grant is funding the salary of a Berkeley student to write software that will chew through the Kepler data."Writing the computer code is not easy," Marcy says. "There's no prescription in any computer science book about how to search for aliens."

Galactic laser internet

The rest of the $200,000 grant is buying Marcy time on the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the largest telescope in the world, to search for - what else? - a galactic laser internet.

While the movie Contact, based on Carl Sagan's book of the same name, popularised the idea of aliens dozens of light-years away picking up an old telecast of the 1936 Berlin Olympics that was unintentionally transmitted into space, our civilisation has become quieter to any outside observers in recent decades. As our civilisation makes the jump from analog to digital, communication is increasingly carried by fibre-optic cables and relatively weak mobile phone repeaters rather than powerful broadcast transmitters. Rather than spilling out messy radio transmissions, Marcy posits that alien civilisations would use something much more precise and efficient than radio waves to stay connected, and lasers fit the bill. At the Keck Observatory, he hopes to spy an errant beam flashing from a distant star system, an observation that would be strikingly obvious on a spectrum.

This shift to new ways for finding E.T. is in part due to the failure of traditional SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to pick up radio signals from deep space. Federal funding for SETI projects ended in 1995, but private benefactors have stepped up to support the search for alien radio transmissions, including Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who has sunk more than $US30 million into a giant radio telescope array now under construction northeast of San Francisco.

Nevertheless, the silence underscores the question once posed by Nobel prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi: If intelligent life is common in the galaxy, "where is everybody?"

Marcy admits that this so-called "Fermi paradox" poses a powerful counterargument to the prospect of success for any search for extraterrestrial intelligence. But what if, even if the chances are vanishingly remote, he is successful? More disturbingly, what if (as some respected physicists fear) he finds a Death Star?

"The first thing we do is transmit a message to them that says, 'We taste bad.' "

MessageToEagle.com - What if someone told you your own thoughts possess the immense power to change your reality?

Is it really possible to alter the present and the future with certain techniques that allow you to re-program your thinking?

There are some scientists, like Dr. Joe Dispenza, D.C who claim that your mind can actually change your reality.

The brain is not static, rigid and fixed. Brain cells are constantly and continually remolded and reorganized by our thoughts and experiences.

Is it really possible to alter the present and the future with certain techniques that allow you to re-program your thinking?

There are some scientists, like Dr. Joe Dispenza, D.C who claim that your mind can actually change your reality.

The brain is not static, rigid and fixed. Brain cells are constantly and continually remolded and reorganized by our thoughts and experiences.

"Recent studies in neuroscience have shown we can change our brain just by thinking. The question lies here: What exactly do "you" spend most of your time mentally rehearsing, thinking about and finally demonstrating? Be it the conscious or unconscious fabrication of your thoughts and actions, you are always affirming and reaffirming your neurological self as "you". According to neuroscience, bear in mind that whatever you mentally attend to, without any doubt it is what you are and what you will become," Dr. Joe Dispenza says.

 

In his book, Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind, Dr. Joe Dispenza, D.C connects the subjects of thought and consciousness with the brain, the mind, and the body.

The book explores "the biology of change." That is, when we truly change our mind, there is a physical evidence of change in the brain.

Ever wonder why you repeat the same negative thoughts in your head? Why you keep coming back for more from hurtful familie members, friends, or significant others? Why you keep falling into the same detrimental habits or limiting attitudes—even when you know that they are going to make you feel bad?
Dr. Joe Dispenza has spent decades studying the human mind—how it works, how it stores information, and why it perpetuates the same behavioral patterns over and over. In the acclaimed film What the Bleep Do We Know!? he began to explain how the brain evolves—by learning new skills, developing the ability to concentrate in the midst of chaos, and even healing the body and the psyche.

"What if just by thinking, we cause our internal chemistry to be bumped out of normal range so often that the body's self-regulation system eventually redefines these abnormal states as regular states?" asks Dispenza in his book, Evolve Your Brain, The Science of Changing Your Mind. "It's a subtle process, but maybe we just never gave it that much attention until now."

During his research into spontaneous remissions, Dr. Dispenza has found, and continually sees, similarities in people who have experienced so-called miraculous healings - showing that they have actually changed their mind, which then changed their health. In other words, what you think can affect your health.

In his newly released and second bestselling book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One, Dr Dispenza explains that you are not doomed by your genes and hardwired to be a certain way for the rest of your life. A new science is emerging that empowers all human beings to create the reality they choose, he says.

 

You are not doomed by your genes and hardwired to be a certain way for the rest of your life. A new science is emerging that empowers all human beings to create the reality they choose.

Dr. Dispenza noticed that humans possess an unconscious addiction to certain emotions, that are either negative or positive. Through his research he learned that emotions condemn a person to repetitive behavior, developing an "addiction" to the combination of specific chemical substances for each emotion that flood the brain with a certain frequency.

"As human beings, we have the natural ability to place our awareness on anything. Where we place our attention, what we place our attention on and for how long, ultimately defines us on a neurological level. If our awareness is so mobile, then why is it so hard to keep our attention on thoughts that might serve us?

 

Can our thoughts change reality?

Right now, as you continue to concentrate and read this page, you might have forgotten about the pain in your back, the disagreement you had with your boss earlier today, and even what gender you are. It is where we place our attention and what we place our attention on that maps the course of our very state of being.

For example, we can in any given moment, think about a past bitter memory that really is only tattooed in our intimidate folds of our gray matter and like magic, it comes to life. We also have the privilege of attending to future anxieties and worries that do not readily exist except conjured up by our wit but to us, they are real. Our attention brings everything to life and makes real what was essentially unnoticed or unreal," Dr. Dispenza explains.

Faster Than the Speed of Light?

Michael Stravato for The New York Times

Harold G. White, a NASA physicist, is working on the concept of warp drive, like on "Star Trek." Some of the original series' ideas fit into the new warp field theories, like the round shape of the engines in the rendering.

Harold G. White, a physicist and advanced propulsion engineer at NASA, beckoned toward a table full of equipment there on a recent afternoon: a laser, a camera, some small mirrors, a ring made of ceramic capacitors and a few other objects.

He and other NASA engineers have been designing and redesigning these instruments, with the goal of using them to slightly warp the trajectory of a photon, changing the distance it travels in a certain area, and then observing the change with a device called an interferometer. So sensitive is their measuring equipment that it was picking up myriad earthly vibrations, including people walking nearby. So they recently moved into this lab, which floats atop a system of underground pneumatic piers, freeing it from seismic disturbances.

The team is trying to determine whether faster-than-light travel — warp drive — might someday be possible.

Warp drive. Like on “Star Trek.”

“Space has been expanding since the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago,” said Dr. White, 43, who runs the research project. “And we know that when you look at some of the cosmology models, there were early periods of the universe where there was explosive inflation, where two points would’ve went receding away from each other at very rapid speeds.”

“Nature can do it,” he said. “So the question is, can we do it?”

Einstein famously postulated that, as Dr. White put it, “thou shalt not exceed the speed of light,” essentially setting a galactic speed limit. But in 1994, a Mexican physicist, Miguel Alcubierre, theorized that faster-than-light speeds were possible in a way that did not contradict Einstein, though Dr. Alcubierre did not suggest anyone could actually construct the engine that could accomplish that.

His theory involved harnessing the expansion and contraction of space itself. Under Dr. Alcubierre’s hypothesis, a ship still couldn’t exceed light speed in a local region of space. But a theoretical propulsion system he sketched out manipulated space-time by generating a so-called “warp bubble” that would expand space on one side of a spacecraft and contract it on another.

“In this way, the spaceship will be pushed away from the Earth and pulled towards a distant star by space-time itself,” Dr. Alcubierre wrote. Dr. White has likened it to stepping onto a moving walkway at an airport.

But Dr. Alcubierre’s paper was purely theoretical, and suggested insurmountable hurdles. Among other things, it depended on large amounts of a little understood or observed type of “exotic matter” that violates typical physical laws.

Dr. White believes that advances he and others have made render warp speed less implausible. Among other things, he has redesigned the theoretical warp-traveling spacecraft — and in particular a ring around it that is key to its propulsion system — in a way that he believes will greatly reduce the energy requirements.

He is quick to offer up his own caveats, however, saying his warp research is akin to a university science project that is just trying to prove that a microscopic warp bubble can be detected in a lab. ”We’re not bolting this to a spacecraft,” he said of the warp technology.

Dr. White was an engineer with a background in the aerospace industry when he came to NASA in 2000, starting his career at the agency by operating the arms of space shuttles. He got his doctorate in physics from Rice University in 2008, and now works on a range of projects aimed at taking NASA beyond the fiery rockets that have long characterized space travel.

For NASA, Dr. White’s warp speed experiments represent a rounding error in its budget, with about $50,000 spent on equipment in an agency that spends nearly $18 billion annually. The agency is far more focused on more achievable projects — building the next generation Orion series spacecraft, working on the International Space Station and preparing for a planned future mission to capture an asteroid.

But it has made internal resources available for the project and freed up other engineers to assist Dr. White. It has also restored the pneumatic system in the laboratory Dr. White is using, to allow it to float. The lab was once used to test equipment for Apollo missions and has control panels underneath it that look like they belong in a fallout shelter that time forgot.

Steve Stich, the deputy director of engineering at the Johnson Space Center, said, “You always have to be looking towards the future.” He held up his iPhone.

“Forty years ago, this was ‘Star Trek,’ Captain Kirk talking on a communicator whenever he wanted to,” he said. “But today it exists because people made the battery technology that allows this device to exist, worked on the software technology, worked on the computational technology, the touch screen.”.

Michael Stravato for The New York Times

Theoretically, a warp drive could cut the travel time between stars from tens of thousands of years to weeks or months. But we should probably not book reservations anytime soon.

“My personal opinion is that the idea is crazy for now,” said Edwin F. Taylor, a former editor of The American Journal of Physics and senior research scientist at M.I.T. “Check with me in a hundred years.”

But Richard Obousy, a physicist who is president of Icarus Interstellar, a nonprofit group composed of volunteers collaborating on starship design, said “it is not airy-fairy, pie in the sky.”

“We tend to overestimate what we can do on short time scales, but I think we massively underestimate what we can do on longer time scales,” he said of the work of Dr. White, who is a friend and Icarus collaborator.

Dr. White likened his experiments to the early stages of the Manhattan Project, which were aimed at creating a very small nuclear reaction merely as proof that it could be done.

“They tried to go through and demonstrate a nuclear reactor and generate half a watt,” he said. “That’s not something you’re going to market. Nobody’s going to buy that. It’s just making sure they understood the physics and science.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson, the well-known astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History, said some leap beyond our current technology would be needed to make interstellar travel feasible.

“Routine travel among the stars is impossible without new discoveries regarding the fabric of space and time, or capability to manipulate it for our needs,” he said, adding, “By my read, the idea of a functioning warp drive remains far-fetched, but the real take-away is that people are thinking about it — reminding us all that the urge to explore continues to run deep in our species.”

Still, one of the most dubious is Dr. Alcubierre himself. He listed a number of concerns, starting with the vast amounts of exotic matter that would be needed.

“The warp drive on this ground alone is impossible,” he said.

And he posed a more fundamental question: How would you turn it on?

“At speeds larger than the speed of light, the front of the warp bubble cannot be reached by any signal from within the ship,” he said. “This does not just mean we can’t turn it off; it is much worse. It means we can’t even turn it on in the first place.”

Dr. White, who has never spoken to Dr. Alcubierre, said “I appreciate his thoughts. I don’t know whether I agree with all of his observations, based on some work I’ve done.”

“He and I could certainly debate for a very long time,” he added.

“UFO AGENDA: So You Want to Know the Truth?” by Diane Tessman. The following interview with Diane Tessman, author of the brand new book UFO AGENDA, was conducted by the editor of QUANTUM SHAMAN website and periodical. Question from QUANTUM SHAMAN editor: Diane, what is your main goal in writing this book? Diane’s Answer: I have been a UFO researcher, writer, and experiencer, for over thirty years, having had several childhood encounters with UFO occupants. I have written five books over the years, several of which are very popular, but I wanted this time to put it all together and by doing so, reveal something new and astounding – the answers! I have concluded with certainty that there is not just one answer, but many answers to this ancient and enormous mystery. More... Also read: Are Aliens Part of God’s Domain?

UFO Sightings intensify just prior to Roswell in 1947 by Doc Vega. Many people by now are well aware that 1947 was a pivotal year in the history of mankind in as much as proof of extraterrestrial contact was made. As a result of that contact an inflexion in human events occurred as an entire security state emerged with the government being forced to conceal and mitigate a forbidden truth that could have caused conventional institutions in our society to collapse. The preservation of basic human beliefs was at stake as far as authorities were concerned. More...

The Filer Research Institute (FRI) feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The Institute now provides advanced research and consultation on a wide range of subjects and help for CEO’s to successfully run their companies.  Our initiative is dedicated to educating people about what we feel are the most significant issues facing humanity. We are dedicated to solving solutions to the most difficult problems based on advanced technology. Thank God it’s FRIday

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research.

Special Reports

New Blue Planet

NASA‘s Hubble space telescope has identified the true color of a planet 63 light years away from Earth, a distant blue marble that, unlike our own planet, has torrential rainstorms of glass. HD 189733b, orbiting star HD 189733, would be seen by human eyes as a striking cobalt blue, the Hubble team says, ostensibly similar to Earth when viewed from space. However, in actual fact the exoplanet is one of a bizarre collection of “hot Jupiter’s” where temperatures can reach almost 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (over 1,000 degrees Celsius).

It’s that extreme temperature – caused by the planet’s very close orbit to the star – that gives HD 189733b what’s perhaps its most unusual feature: its storms of glass. The atmosphere is filled with silicate particles, NASA explains, and when they condense in the tremendously furious heat, they could rain down as tiny droplets of glass. It’s the silicate that gives the planet its distinctive color, with the droplets scattering more blue light than red in the visible spectrum. http://www.slashgear.com

A New View of the Dumbbell Nebula

The one minute astronomer writes, “Here’s an astonishing new view of M27, the famous Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. This image is the result of an international collaboration between Andre van der Hoeven, Fred Herrmann, and Terry Hancock who combined the light from three telescopes and three cameras into one image.”

A new image of the planetary nebula M27 which combines light from ionized hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. This image uses nearly 40 hours of data collected with three different telescopes and CCD cameras in Michigan, Alabama and Holland. The images were later combined into one final image. The outer hydrogen and oxygen shell of M27 are not normally visible in amateur images, along with emission from ionized sulfur. These elements are present in the outer layers of the central star of this nebula, a star which is blowing off its atmosphere and leaving the hot stellar core behind. - See more at http://www.oneminuteastronomer.com/8822/m27-image/

CIA Director UFOs Are Real

Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, was the third Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from 1947 to 1950, and the first Director of the CIA, which was established in September 1947.

Hillenkoetter was one of the first intelligence chiefs to make public his conviction that UFO's were real." On August 22, 1960, he stated,

"I am aware that hundreds of military and airline pilots, airport personnel, astronomers, missile trackers and other competent observers have reported sightings . . . These UFOs are interplanetary devices systematically observing the earth, either manned or under remote control, or both."

“It is time for the truth to be brought out... Behind the scenes high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. I urge immediate Congressional action to reduce the dangers from secrecy about unidentified flying objects. Former CIA Director Vice Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, in a signed statement to Congress, August 22, 1960.  

Russian UFO Movie

Frank Chilli writes, “This is an excellent video with much info disclosed for the first time by the Russian Government, Military and Researches as well as some remarkable

UFO footage. You should view in full screen to best read the English translation.”

The crashed UFO was a gift from advanced civilizations.

A Russian UFO movie makes some interesting comments from researchers. Nikolai Antoshkin test pilot and Hero of the USSR, states,

“It appears a much more advanced civilization is controlling us. Apparently the aliens are controlling that we don’t do anything bad on Earth. We conclude this by their appearance on areas where our nuclear and chemical bases are located and large hydro technical facilities and regions where the situation is unstable.

What might have happened on other planets they want to prevent happening here.”

  http://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/ufosinterdimensionalultraterrestrials/men-in-black---full-russian-documentary-with-english-subtitles

Note: Apparently, Earth is one of the finest planets in this part of the universe and the aliens are already here or plan on coming here, and wish to preserve the planet. They may also be from the future and desire to prevent us from destroying Earth.

Catherine Austin Fitt’s Claims Extraterrestrials Exist

Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), released a document supporting her claims that the US Navy initiated a plan in 1998 to adjust its operations for a future where extraterrestrials exist and live among us.

She claims the plan was commissioned by the Undersecretary of the US Navy and was undertaken by the Arlington Institute, an NGO located near the Pentagon with many military clients, where Fitts served on the Board of Directors. She was asked to assist with the plan and claims she was given an opportunity to meet a live alien, but declined. Two members of the Board of Directors have repudiated Fitt’s claims.

With the publication of Galactic Diplomacy, the contradiction of her version of events by other Arlington Institute Board members was now part of the public record. Consequently, Fitts felt free to release documentation supporting her version of events – Minutes of the March 26, 1999 Board of Directors meeting. The Minutes of the meeting below is the significant statement.

The document confirms key elements in her version of events, especially that Arlington Institute was actively discussing Pickford and Lindeman’s study of life outside earth and plans for how to best prepare the general public for disclosing the existence of ET.
http://www.examiner.com/article/us-navy-plan-to-disclose-extraterrestrial-contact-secretly-developed-1998?CID=examiner_alerts_article

Joe Firmage who is a Board Member of the Arlington Institute is also Chairman of The International Space Sciences Organization (ISSO), an, advanced science research and education institute that was launched in July 1999, to provide a platform for research and education in view of breakthroughs likely in 21st Century physics. http://rense.com/politics4/isso.htm. So it is quite likely some type of discussion occurred has Catherine Fitt’s observed.

The Pickford and Lindemann study mentioned in the minutes involve eight alien contact scenarios they developed for a workshop on extraterrestrial contact as recalled by one of the participants: Called the second “Contact Planning” meeting and held in Denver, Colorado, this workshop was sponsored by Joe Firmage’s International Space Sciences Organization and organized by Kyle Pickford and Michael Lindemann. The meeting was divided into five groups: business, religion, science, government, and media/public. Each group role-played its behavior for each of eight scenarios. The meeting apparently showed contact behavior by each of the people in each of these categories. How can people prepare. A large number of these ideas clearly fit into two clusters that I find very encouraging: (a) tell the general public the truth right away and (b) prepare to communicate and negotiate with ET in a friendly and cooperative manner, even if its behavior seems unfriendly.

The minutes of the meeting confirm that the Arlington Institute was discussing the subject of life outside earth. According to Ms Fitt’s, one of these clients was the US Navy.

Editor’s Note: I have heard similar claims that the Navy wishes to release data on alien visitation. Lt. Col. Corso claimed he provided industry with advanced ET products that were distributed to industry. These products such as alien clothing, and advanced technology were rapidly copied and brought into production that may include UFOs themselves.

Three factors support the assumption that other civilizations in our galaxy are probably much older than our own human civilization. First, the vast majority of stars in our galaxy are much millions of years older than our Sun. It follows, then, that any civilizations on planets revolving around those stars likely arose much earlier than our own civilization did. Second, it seems quite possible that some civilizations survive for a million years or even longer. Our civilization is ten thousand years old, where others in our galaxy range in age from a few thousand years up to a million years old. We are one of the youngest. Third, we are observing alien craft that most likely come here from these other civilizations.

Moon Base

In 1994, the US Navy sent a satellite called Clementine to the moon to image it for two months. During that time, the satellite took 1.8 million images. Out of those images, 170,000 images were made available to the public. The rest were classified, Yes, classified moon craters and straight lines like this?

My friend the late Ingo Swann remote viewed key locations on the Moon and found about ten different locations that indicated an unearthly extraterrestrial presence. “Swann 'saw' with his mind's eye craters in darkness, and trails of tractor-tread marks. Confusion set in until Swann realized that he was 'seeing' intelligent activity and structures on the moon.

“In the depths of a crater he viewed a green, dusty haze lit by banks of artificial lights mounted on very large, tall towers. He was apparently observing extraterrestrials building a base on the moon. Ingo sensed that he had been psychically 'spotted' by two of the humanoid-looking inhabitants of the moon base. The aliens appeared to be conducting mining operations on the Moon.”

Vide Vatican Official Declares On National Television: Extraterrestrial Contact Is Real

 John Jaeger, Director PUFOIN writes, “Videos on April 29, 2013, show some things simply cannot be debunked as much as people would like to do it, no matter how hard the debunkers try sometimes the truth just keeps coming to the surface and this is one of those times. The late Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a theologian member of the Vatican Curia, the governing body, and highly placed Vatican official who is close to the Pope has been on Italian Television, no less than five times stating that extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomena. Balducci provided an analysis of extraterrestrials that he feels is consistent with the Catholic Church‘s understanding of theology.”

Monsignor Balducci emphasizes that extraterrestrial encounters “are not demonic, they are not due to psychological impairment, they are not a case of entity attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied carefully.”

Since Monsignor Balducci is a demonology expert and consultant to the Vatican , and since the Catholic Church has historically demonized many new phenomena that were poorly understood, his stating that the Church does not censure these encounters is all the more remarkable. The bottom line is that the Vatican has moved quickly on the extremely difficult issue of extraterrestrials and religion. They allegedly attended secret meeting at the UN on this subject and obtain numerous reports from their clergy spread around the world.. The question becomes, are we paying attention or are we asleep at the switch! We are all in for a Galileo Moment and those only come along every 200-300 years. Are you ready?

Scaler Technology Letter

Todd writes, “ I wouldn't worry about a failed anti-missile defense system. It's a joke actually. No nuke would be allowed to go off in the first place and we have scaler technology now. Nukes are obsolete and can 100% eliminated with the new technologies. The primitive devices are just for show and for someone to make money developing that which is no longer needed. This reminds me of the Mars mission. We've been there for many years now and they pretend we are still working to achieve a Mars landing.” LOL

The following seems like science fiction, but scalar beam weapons were invented in 1904 by a American immigrant genius called Nicola Tesla (1856 or 57 -1943) from Yugoslavia. Since he died in 1943, many nations have secretly developed his beam weapons which now further refined are so powerful that just by satellite one can: make a nuclear like destruction; earthquake; hurricane; tidal wave; cause instant freezing - killing every living thing instantly over many miles. It can cause intense heat like a burning fireball over a wide area; induce hypnotic mind control over a whole population; or even read anyone on the planet's mind by remote.

It can paralyze and or/kill everyone instantaneously in a 50 mile radius and lastly remove something right out of its place in time and space faster than the speed of light, without any detectable warning by crossing two or more beams with each other and any target can be aimed at even right through to the opposite side of the earth.

If either of the major scalar weapon armed countries e.g. U.S. or Russia were to fire a nuclear missile to attack each other this may possibly not even reach the target, because the missile could be destroyed with scalar technology. The knowledge via radio waves that it was about to be fired could be eavesdropped and the target could be destroyed in the bunker, fired at from space by satellite.

Very neat things can be done if one "nests" several Tesla shields— say three or four—concentrically, one inside the other. In that case even the nuclear radiation (such as gamma rays) from a defense-suppressive high altitude nuclear burst can be handled.
For example, suppose three such concentric shields are placed over a large vital area. Further, suppose a high altitude nuclear burst is placed above the outer shield. Gamma radiation almost instantly strikes the plasma in the outer shell, where it is absorbed, scattered, and re-radiated at a lower temperature. (That after all is what plasmas do.) Inside the first shell, the scattered radiation is now in the x-ray and ultra violet region.  Let us track the most lethal component, the x-rays.

 The scattered x-rays then strike the second plasma shell, and are absorbed scattered and re-radiated at a lower temperature. Inside the second shell the scattered radiation is now in the visible and infrared region, with a little ultraviolet. 

 This optical radiation in turn strikes the third plasma shell, and is absorbed scattered and re-radiated at still lower temperature. Inside the third shell, most of the energy is now in the form of radio frequency (RF) energy, with a little IR and visible band spectral energy content. 

At this point, ordinary electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding of electronic equipment on the ground inside the third shield can take care of any RF interference resulting from the emergent RF noise protecting the city. Thanks to Todd.

First-Ever Carrier Landing with Unmanned Autonomous Aircraft

The Northrop Grumman-built X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System demonstrator aircraft on Wednesday completed its first carrier-based arrested landing on the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) off the coast of Virginia, announced the Navy. This marked "the first time a tailless, unmanned autonomous aircraft landed on a modern aircraft carrier," states the sea service's July 10 release.

"Naval aviators have always been at the forefront of operational and tactical innovation, and today was no exception," said Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. The X-47B completed a 35-minute transit from NAS Patuxent River, Md., to the carrier that was under way and then executed the landing, states the release. Sailors then launched the X-47B using the carrier's catapult. "Today's historic carrier landing and our operations aboard USS George H.W. Bush show, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that tailless unmanned aircraft can integrate seamlessly and operate safely from an aircraft carrier at sea," said Capt. Jaime Engdahl, the Navy's UCAS program manager. (See also Northrop Grumman release.)

The Trickster

 George P. Hansen, author of The Trickster and the Paranormal, was employed in parapsychology laboratories for eight years-three at the Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina, and five at Psychophysical Research Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey. His research included remote viewing, ESP, psychokinesis on electronic random number generators, séance phenomena, and ghosts. His papers in professional journals also cover mathematical statistics, deception, skepticism, conjurors in parapsychology, and methodological criticisms. presented two lectures that are now on YouTube. 

The first lecture, "History of Parapsychology," discusses the rise of psychical research from 1882 to the laboratory research of the 1980s.  Some ganzfeld telepathy experiments are presented.

 The second lecture, "The Decline of Parapsychology," focuses on 1989 to the present day.  The decline is discussed in the context of history, sociology of religion, and secularization theory.  Briefly, two thousand years ago cultural elites displayed strong antagonism to the paranormal, and they continue to do so today.  The implications for the scientific acceptance of the field are considered.  Although parapsychology is doing poorly, Hansen indicates promising areas for growth.

Sightings of UFOs in the United States

FIREBALL” PHENOMENON

NUFORC has posted approximately 780 new, and amended, reports, as of Friday, July 5th. Peter Davenport has received a large number of reports of red and orange “orbs” or “fireballs” in his reports. Peter states, “Our strong impression is that most of the reports submitted for that date this year are not the result of firework displays.” Since June 2012, NUFORC has been inundated with reports of clusters of red, orange, or yellow “fireballs,” for absence of a better term.  We are very interested in this continuing phenomenon, even though we have absolutely no idea what the objects are. We recognize that in some cases, the luminous objects may be so-called “Chinese lanterns.” However, some characteristics of the objects strongly militate against that explanation” 

One of the telephoned reports of orange “fireballs” we have received for July 4th was submitted by a former U. S. astronaut and Space Shuttle crew member. We are awaiting follow-up written reports from the three members of his family who observed the object(s), and we will post those reports as quickly as we can. The witness has stated that he is prepared to be identified publicly, and he probably will appear as a guest on a radio program, to describe his sighting. 

Editor’s Note: We strongly suspect these fireballs represent a new presence in our skies. MUFON and UFOs Northwest have also received large numbers of similar reports.

California Lights

 San Leandro -- While sitting in my kitchen at 11:30 pm, I saw a bright light hovering over the Half Moon Bay Mountains for about 30 minutes +

on July 12, 2013. Then as I watched I noticed it was coming closer so I pulled out my camera and started to tape it. I zoomed in on it and tell me what you think a large rectangle shaped vessel with orbs floating through, it looks like small space ships. Then it pulled back and changed shape and started traveling SE till out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

SAN BRUNO -- I was at home when I first noticed the object. It was a dim light in the sky and as I watched it on February 2, 2013. It started to glow brighter then dim out off and on. At first I thought it was a plane until it started brightening and dimming. After a while it started slowly moving to the left after hovering for about 30 minutes. So we jumped in the car and drove towards it. As we got closer we were able to get a better shot of it and were shocked at what we saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Orb

 Palm Bay -- I was at my friend’s house in Palm Bay watching the fireworks on July 4^th, 2013. We were talking about UFOs, aliens, and life on other planets. All of the sudden I look over to see a yellowish/reddish orange orb! I first noticed the object because of its unusual size, glow, and the way it moved across the sky. I quickly busted out my Droid Razr phone, and took a video of the orb as it moved to the NW, low and slow.

The object slowly seemed to hover/move silently. After about 30-40 seconds of viewing, the orb began to radiate a specific BLUE color. It wasn’t like anything I’d ever seen from common aircraft like planes, helicopters, or whatever else is up there. I walked away from this experience believing I had witnessed, and video recorded a possible UFO or a real UFO of an extraterrestrial nature. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Orbs

Belleville -- I saw four consecutive red lights in the sky near the border of Freeburg, IL. They were in an Orion’s Belt kind of formation. It was about 9:09 PM, on July 4, 2013. Two of the most northern lights moved with incredible speed went from their frozen state in the sky to the west about two miles and came back to the same spot.

I was in my truck at the time heading down Mascoutah Roa d and I know that it wasn’t fireworks, because the fireworks dimmed away. These stayed in place for minutes, moved around and then vanished. The two glowing dots in the photo on the bottom and middle of the photo are part of the formation of the UFO. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Indiana Lights

 South Bend -- I live about four miles north of downtown and at 10:15 pm on July 13 2013, I looked out of my living room window to the south and saw a red/orange object going to west. It was twice the size of the brightest star.  I saw two of them and filmed them until they went behind my neighbors trees. I saw that there were three more coming into view and I filmed them as well. When I zoomed into the last one it changed colors rapidly. They were all traveling at the same speed in a minute to a minute and a half. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Clinton -- The evening of July 3, 2013, at 10:30 pm, I took the following photos. I was able to follow the UFO, observe it, and take these photos all at the same time. I first saw the UFO while I was in the parking lot at Wal-Mart which is six miles east of Blanford where I live. The object moved east and changed color from white to orange. The sky had grown darker that might account for the color change. The thing kept going east until out of sight. The last three photos are blurry from being enlarged. Take care. Richard.

Missouri Arch-

 St. Louis – On July 4, 2013, I was watching the fireworks at the Arch Grounds and took two pictures of the Arch. The first picture was normal, but the second had a grey line in the middle. I zoomed in a noticed it looked like a UFO.

Note: The time of the photo seems a little early to be watching fireworks as it was daylight. The witness has been contacted to verify the time of the photo. Updates will be posted. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

New Jersey15 Bright Orbs

moorestown -- I was traveling with my fiancé down Westfield Road when we spotted a police officer make a sharp turn and park down a street and observing a bunch of glowing red orbs in the sky. At first we thought it could have been a flyover for the last day of fireworks, but as time went on this scenario seemed less likely to be. They were all traveling in close proximity to one another. There must have been over 15 of them.

The red lights were flashing sequentially bright then dull bright then dull. The objects didn’t flutter or change direction suddenly. There were over 500 lights moving fast, and helicopters in the air but not close to them, but you can tell the difference. There were also planes flying above to. I’m curious as to what the cop saw or why there were over six cars pulled to the side of the road. Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Cylinder

MEBANE --Sitting out back on the deck I was looking up when I noticed a bright white cylinder travelling very fast SE on July 7, 2013. We heard nothing and it had no contrail in the clear blue sky. My daughter and I remarked that it seemed to be going way faster than commercial aircraft. It also was not on normal flight path that the commercial jets take. It was just a bright white light. If it was a military jet it was flying faster than sound, but we heard nothing. It crossed the sky in about three seconds.. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Orbs

 MOUNT ORAB -- I was outside doing yard work on July 12, 2013, when a helicopter approached from the south at 1 pm-. It was a military Blackhawk with no observable markings, traveling at high elevation and speed. Despite the altitude, the engine noise was very loud, which led me to believe it was at full throttle and traveling behind it were three dark objects. I first thought they were birds due to their small size and erratic movements but it became apparent they were at similar elevation and speed.

The objects were tiny, almost invisible unless silhouetted against a cloud. They were some kind of plate shape (wide and thin) and spent most of the observed time banking, leaving only the slim profile to observe. They were black, and very small. As far as I could tell, they changed elevation easily. In the first 60 seconds of my observation, they trailed behind the helicopter, flying in a loose triangle formation. The three individual objects were banking in and out of formation. In the last 60 seconds, they broke formation and gained altitude and one got ahead of the helicopter twisting in an S maneuver out of my line of sight. The other two climbed above the clouds only visible briefly in breaks of the cloud. The helicopter never deviated course as the objects flew above it at all times. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Oregon Ball

 SEASIDE --I saw a big orange ball floating up then stopping and heading east on July 4, 2013, at 11 PM. My friend got a very up close and personal video.

The video I have is from Salem Oregon! The ball moved very slow at first on its way up, then started east slowly for about 30 seconds and then flew across the sky at tremendous speed! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Orbs

Leander – I was visiting my son’s grave and took a photo of white and black objects in the sky over the Bagdad Cemetery.

I was focusing on the interesting cloud formation and don’t recall seeing these objects. I took more pictures through the car window a few days later, but the white object did not appear in these pictures. Someone suggested that my windshield could have been dirty

Note: The white area is a rain shaft. The dark objects “could be” windblown debris ahead of the thunderstorm. A review of weather conditions near the sighting showed that winds were gusting to 25 MPH. It is doubtful that the objects are due to spots on the car window because the objects only appear in one photo.

Worldwide Sightings

Australia Airline Disc and Light

 Brisbane -- I'm a very keen aviation photographer and on 1st of July 2007, I went out to Airport to take photos of aircraft from 10 am till 6 pm. I would usually take my Canon EOS 350D with 70-200 mm lens. Somewhere around 4 pm, a Qantas 767 aircraft departed for Melbourne flying about 450 feet altitude when I shot this climbing jet and a possible UFO at the bottom right of the photo.

Looking at the image the plane is climbing out over runway 19 south, and I was looking east towards Fisherman Island. I was firing a whole series of photo's, usually at birds but was not aware of this. I reviewed all my photo's and saw that spot. I just thought I'd share with you and see what your opinion maybe. Cheers, Norbert Vari. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Darley, Victoria – A weird light was seen in the sky on June 29, 2013, at 7 pm. It
was pulsating and changing color and the object had NO sound. There were no other lights near it.

The video footage has been circulated via internet, you tube, and Facebook, but as of yet there has been no explanation for this object, so it remains unidentified. It also set the dogs in the neighborhood off, barking, and my German Shepherds clearly did not want me outside. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Canada Orbs

 Dartmouth, Nova Scotia – On June5, 2013, I was taking pictures of a bird and noticed first orb like glow but while going through the rest of the photos I noticed something different color and shape than what I had seen. I am now submitting both photos together and zoomed in so you can decide what they are. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Notre-Dame-du-Nord -- My friend took and sent me that digital photo of the moon from Quebec and we can see an object near the moon. We would like to know what you think of it, because in her area and also in mine lots of thing happening in the sky. She noticed after she took the photo on June 26, 2013, and she kept watching it after for a while. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Egypt Disc

Cairo – I was at my vacation at the Giza Pyramids on May 20, 2013. I was on the camel heading away from the pyramids, when doing this; I was taking lots of photos with my galaxy S3, with the frontal camera.

I did not realize the UFO until I got home, when I started to look at the photos. I thought immediately that it is a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Sicilia, Italy Triangle

Villaggio Mosè -- The flying object had a strange movement on June 24, 2013. It would accelerate, then stop, start immediately and shooting away. The lights were astern chasing each other and constantly changing color. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Light

 Camacha – A super bright light crossed the sky at medium speed and slowly rose up until it disappeared in the night sky on June 25, 2013, at 11:25 PM.  A super bright light crossed the sky from west to east over the island of Madeira, Portugal. No light strobes where seen or sounds where heard. The light crossed the sky at medium speed and slowly rose up until it disappeared in the night sky in 90 seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Spain UFO

A Coruña -- We are walking on the beach when a UFO appears in one of the photos on June 14, 2013. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Taiwan Disk

East, 〠-- My sister drove home next to the bridge on June 24, 1013, and saw a beautiful sunrise and took pictures. The first image was strange so immediately pressed the second shutter. I checked the photos and found the first photo was of a disc that turned out to be a very clear UFO. I immediately checked the second photo which does not have any UFO. The whole family is shocked in disbelief.  I have twice in the same place seen flying objects that I suspect are UFOs as well as points of light hovering in the vicinity. I hope to keep this place quiet. We are willing to provide photos to our users agree, but we will retain the photo's copyright. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Tunisia Light

Sayada -- When I was taking photographs of the super moon on June 23, 2013, I saw in the sky a light moving very fast. It wasn't a plane I am sure. The light disappeared after about 40 seconds! Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Orange Orb

"Philip Mantle is probably one of the major unsung heroes of the British UFO scene, having been eclipsed by the likes of Timothy Good and Nick Pope. In this, his first fiction book, he tackles the thorny subject of the "abduction" and "Close Encounter" scenario. Although the book is a work of fiction, it draws from many well documented cases from the never-ending enigma that is the UFO subject. This book will provide a thought provoking read, if you are skeptic or believer in the phenomenon." Kevin Goodman, author of "UFO Warminster: Cradle of contact", UK. "A not to be missed fiction from one of the leading authorities on UFO's. Has to be worth a read!"  Philip Gardiner, Author/filmmaker, UK. "Philip Mantle is extremely knowledgeable about the abduction phenomenon, and it shows. In this graphic novel his real-life expertise translates dramatically into the lives of the characters. Once Upon a Missing Time should not be missed". "Scrupulously well thought-out, Once Upon a Missing Time provides a gripping insight into one of the greatest enigmas of our era. Although a work of fiction, it carries a disturbing aura of reality on every page". "They say time is a great healer - and it is, until it goes missing.

"Philip Mantle has put the trauma of the alien abduction into perspective for all of us in his story that sucks us in on the first page. It is a tale, not of aliens, but of the results of those who have been abducted and what they experience as a result of something that is beyond their control. Mantle has provided a story that draws to in and keeps you entertained from the first page to the last. It is a story that causes you to keep turning the pages." Kevin Randle, UFO author, lecturer and broadcaster, USA.  “In a classic example of poacher turned gamekeeper, Philip Mantle has dug deep into his long established background as a world renowned investigator of the UFO phenomenon to produce a first class novel based on his years of experience in the field and a damn fine job he makes of it too. This book bears all the hallmarks of a homage to a well loved and understood subject and it is told in a surprisingly matter of fact manner that belies the central premise of alien abduction and how it can badly affect those involved.”  Brian Allan:  Author, speaker and researcher specialising in paranormal phenomena.

A chat with Nick Pope, XCOM’s real-life UFO investigator (interview)

Sebastian Haley/GamesBeat

Nick Pope was an UFO investigator for the British for 21 years. He now serves as a consultant for all kinds of alien-related entertainment projects, including the new The Bureau: XCOM Declassified game.

July 17, 2013 10:00 AM

Depending on your disposition to the idea of a real-life X-Files program, the name Nick Pope may have one of a variety of effects on you. Pope has long been a staple of the ufology scene thanks to his role as a UFO investigator during the 21 years he worked for the the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense. Naturally, he’s now involved in the new XCOM game.

GamesBeat met with Pope at a private The Bureau: XCOM Declassified event held by developer 2K Marin and publisher 2K Games. You can read our thoughts on the game itself, along with developer interviews, in our hands-on preview.

GamesBeat: Can you start off with the general overview of your responsibilities as a UFO investigator?

Nick Pope: I had to basically investigate UFO sightings and see if they were any potential threat or, more generally, if they were of any defense interest. We didn’t take a view on what they might or might not be. We just said, “Look, people have seen things.” Particularly, as it’s often alleged, these were solid-structured things in our airspace. That made it a defense issue. That made it a national security issue.

But like I say, we didn’t take a view on whether we were dealing with aliens or whether we were dealing, as was the original thinking, with maybe the next generation of Soviet spy planes or drones, something like that. That was basically the job. Through that, anything else weird or wonderful that there wasn’t a place for in government kind of came our way by default, particularly if it was perceived that there was a link with UFOs. Alien abductions, crop circles. We found ourselves getting all the weird stuff, like people who had seen ghosts at military bases. That’s why it has been called the real-life X-Files.

GamesBeat: What do you do now?

Pope: Basically, I work as a freelance writer and broadcaster. I’ve written a couple of sci-fi books. I do a lot of TV work on shows like Ancient Aliens. I’ve worked with some of the Hollywood film companies on some of the PR for movie launches, if there’s an alien theme. I guess people come to me and say, “Well, we’re doing this as fiction, but there’s very often an interesting tie-in. Is any of this actually true?”

The alien threat from The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.

GamesBeat: Some of your findings over the past couple of decades have been declassified recently, is that correct?

Pope: Yeah, almost literally just two weeks ago, three weeks ago. The British government finished what had been a five-year program to declassify and release the entire archive. That was round about 52,000 pages of documents. A lot of it was just fire lanterns and weather balloons and things like that. But there were some more interesting cases in there too.

GamesBeat: Can you share some of the highlights?

Pope: Sure. The most famous case in there – and I think it’s a better case than Roswell – is something called the Rendelsham Forest incident.

This was December 1980. A UFO was actually seen to land in a forest between two military bases. This was in the U.K., but they were American Air Force bases. This small triangular craft of some sort came down in a small clearing, and a patrol of security police, who had originally thought a plane had crashed, went out and encountered this weird thing. They saw strange symbols on the side of it that looked a bit like Egyptian hieroglyphs. Then it rose up above the ground very slowly, cleared the treetops, and shot away to the horizon in an instant. Two days later it came back. It didn’t land that time, but it was flying around in the area.

The witnesses included the deputy base commander. They went back to the clearing where this thing had landed on the first night and they found indentations, showing that something heavy had been there. They took a Geiger counter out there and found that the radiation levels seemed to be significantly higher than background. It’s a phenomenal story. Some of the guys now have health issues. There’s talk of a federal lawsuit.

There’s a whole bunch of former congresspeople that just wrote, at the beginning of May, a letter to the secretary of the Veteran’s Affairs department and to the president saying, “The two guys who got close to this can’t get their medical records out of the system. Please help them.” It’s a really good case, because it’s not just anecdotal. Like you said in your question, there is a declassified and released audit trail of government documents to show that this happened.

GamesBeat: It’s interesting that you worked on not only your own fiction but also Hollywood and now games. Do you feel like the surplus of fiction surrounding this topic colors people’s opinion as to whether something like this could ever be real?

Pope: There’s a whole bunch of conspiracy theories about this. Science fiction and the whole idea of aliens, in movies and computer games, is so embedded now in the public consciousness that it’s difficult to separate the fact and the fiction. Some people think that Hollywood movies and computer games are one of the ways in which governments slowly acclimatize people to this. There used to be this old theory that you couldn’t say this was real, because there would be panic in the streets.

But what if you slipped it out generally, slowly, over the years, in all these movies, so that people were so used to the idea? I think the opinion polls now show that round about 50 percent of people think there’s visitation by aliens. A much higher percentage believes that there’s life out there in the universe, but around 50 percent, I think, think they’re coming here. A sizable number of those people think that governments know more about it than they’re letting on. I don’t know. It’s odd, because if that was the case, it’s a slightly mixed message. You get good aliens like E.T. and then you get the whole Independence Day, War of the Worlds, XCOM thing, which is more about full-on violence and invasion.

I suppose it’s a point about films more generally, that it’s more likely that movies and computer games will show aliens hostile, because it gives you that whole dynamic of a struggle to deal with. With a movie like E.T., it’s just getting home, and that’s it.

GamesBeat: And feed him Reese’s Pieces. So what has been your contribution to the XCOM project?

Pope: It’s basically just helping, maybe, to start a conversation with the people that play the game, to ask the sort of questions that we’re getting to. “Could any of this be based in reality?” “Did something like Roswell, for example, really happen?” And if it did, questions like, “Would the government keep it secret?” and “Could you keep a thing like this a secret?” Which I think are two different questions. I think, on the first answer, it’s probably, “Yes, you would keep it secret.”

I think technology acquisition gets to the heart of it. Hopefully this is the sort of thing that I can contribute to a conversation about this. The country – or corporation, maybe – that first gets its hands on alien technology, if such a thing exists, is going to have such a huge advantage that the stakes are high enough to justify secrecy. You’d want it for yourself. So, going back in time, if Roswell really happened, you could understand that some overenthusiastic base PR person said, “Oh, we’ve got one of these flying disks,” and then high command stepped in and said, “No, it’s a weather balloon” and took it away to hangar and worked on that.

You wouldn’t want to share that with the Soviets, particularly with the Cold War just starting.

What’s your alien apocalypse survival plan?

GamesBeat: What do you think of the game so far?

Pope: Oh, I love it. I’m not just saying that. I mean—I guess I was brought up, maybe, in an era where games were just a few pixels moving clumsily across the screen. I can’t even remember what they were called. What was that one where you just bounced it around?

GamesBeat: Pong?

Pope: Pong! I’m probably showing my age there. But you look at something like The Bureau, and it’s just, “My God.” The other thing is, I love that whole style of the ’60s, whether it’s the cars or the shops, the signs. It’s got a nice feel to it as well. Like I say, I don’t play these games, so I can’t, I’m afraid, give any sort of technical-insight clever answer to that. But I’ve obviously sat in on some meetings; I’ve looked at it, and I’ve thought, “Wow, that’s impressive.”

GamesBeat: In all your decades of work that you’ve done and your hypothesizing and discussion and so on, if you turned on the news and saw that aliens were arriving – lights in the sky and that kind of stuff – would you be excited, or would you be worried?

Pope: Both. I’d see it as almost a validation or a culmination of a quest that I guess I’ve been on. But also—I guess, self-evidently, if aliens get here, given that we can only just about slowly send a few space probes out to the edge of our solar system, if somebody has cracked viable interstellar travel, they’ve got technology orders of magnitude above and beyond anything we’ve got. So I couldn’t help but be worried.

I think Stephen Hawking said this – it would be like the European explorers meeting the Native Americans, only we’re the Native Americans. We’d have to hope that alien visitors are explorers, ambassadors, adventurers, and not the sort of cynical exploiters that, sadly, in human history we’ve tended to be when we encounter new territories. So we’re going to have to hope that they’re friendly and altruistic, because if they’re not, we’re in trouble.

GamesBeat: We can hope that it doesn’t come back on us, all the terrible things that we’ve done to other civilizations.

Pope: Yes. It would be a kind of cosmic karma, I suppose, if it did. Our only hope would be that great staple of sci-fi, to use the aliens’ own technology against them.

GamesBeat: Or water and air, in the case of Signs and War of the Worlds.

Pope: [Laughs] Yeah, or Independence Day: Just plug your laptop in and take down the entire alien defense system.

GamesBeat: I think the secret is just to have Randy Quaid on speed dial and to keep his crop-duster fueled.

US Navy plan to prepare for extraterrestrials among us secretly developed in 1998

Written by Dr Michael Salla on July 10, 2013. Posted in exopolitics research

In honor of US Independence Day, Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), released a document supporting her claims that the US Navy initiated a plan in 1998 to adjust its operations for a future where extraterrestrials exist and live among us. She claims the plan was commissioned by the Undersecretary of the US Navy and was undertaken by the Arlington Institute, an NGO located near the Pentagon with many military clients, where Fitts served on the Board of Directors. She was asked to assist with the plan and claims she was given an opportunity to meet a live alien, but declined. When I contacted the Arlington Institute in 2008, two members of the Board of Directors repudiated Fitts claims. The document released on her website is the official minutes of a Board of Directors meeting held at the Arlington Institute in 2000. The document confirms key elements in her version of events, especially that Arlington Institute was actively discussing plans for how to best prepare the general public for disclosing the existence of, and contact with, extraterrestrial life.

Catherine Fitts claims that in 1998 the Undersecretary of the U.S. Navy had commissioned a “high level strategic plan” to prepare the American public for an official announcement that extraterrestrials exist and live among us. She wrote:

In 1998, I was approached by John Peterson, head of the Arlington Institute, a small high quality military think tank in Washington, DC. I had gotten to know John through Global Business Network and had been impressed by his intelligence, effectiveness and compassion. John asked me to help him with a high level strategic plan Arlington was planning to undertake for the Undersecretary of the Navy. At the time I was the target of an intense smear campaign that would lead the normal person to assume that I would be in jail shortly or worse. John explained that the Navy understood that it was all politics —- they did not care. I met with a group of high level people in the military in the process — including the Undersecretary. According to John, the purpose of the plan — discussed in front of several military or retired military officers and former government officials— was to help the Navy adjust their operations for a world in which it was commonly known that aliens exist and live among us. When John explained this purpose to me, I explained that I did not know that aliens existed and lived among us. John asked me if I would like to meet some aliens. For the only time in my life, I declined an opportunity to learn about something important.

In March 2008 I was planning to write an article about Ms Fitts claims, and began my investigation by first contacting her to elaborate or clarify her earlier recollection. Fitts said she had nothing to add to what had already been released to the public. I then contacted John Petersen, President of the Arlington Institute. He flatly denied Ms Fitts claims and offered to put me in communication with other members of the Board of Directors to get independent confirmation. In subsequent email communications with Joe Firmage, another Board member, he also denied Ms Fitts version of events, and did not recall any meetings where she was also present where the issue of extraterrestrial life was discussed. I was unsuccessful in reaching Jerry MacArthur Hultin, who served as Undersecretary of the Navy during the period mentioned by Fitts.

To varying degrees, Petersen and Firmage both claimed there was no substance to Fitts story. Petersen was especially insistent that Fitts had contrived the entire scenario. Given that two members of the Arlington Institute Board of Directors directly contradicted her version of events, and I was not able to find any other witnesses to support her claims, I decided to postpone writing an article on the incident until independent confirmation could be found.

Almost five years later, in my recently published book, Galactic Diplomacy: Getting to Yes with ET, I included the incident described by Catherine Fitts along with the denial by John Petersen and Joe Firmage. I wrote:

I have been able to confirm that Fitts served on the Board of Directors of the Arlington Institute during the period in question, and that extraterrestrial life was discussed at some of its closed door meetings as a hypothetical “wildcard event.” However, Fitts’ specific claim of there being a strategic plan sponsored by the U.S. Navy to prepare the public for disclosure of extraterrestrial life, or of a possible meeting an extraterrestrial, was not supported by other Board members.⁴¹⁴

In the footnote 414, I gave some details of my communications with Petersen and Firmage. On July 4, 2013 I received a short email by Ms Fitts with a subject header referencing footnote 414 in my Galactic Diplomacy book where I elaborated on the repudiation of her claims by Arlington Institute Board members. The content of her email directed me to a new page on her Solari website which was just uploaded.  She wrote:

In the spirit of Independence Day, I am publishing the minutes of the board meeting of the Arlington Institute on April 10th, 2000. I have repeatedly stated that I would do so if my description of this meeting was contradicted by any of the members.

With the publication of Galactic Diplomacy, the contradiction of her version of events by other Arlington Institute Board members was now part of the public record. Consequently, Fitts felt free to release documentation supporting her version of events – Minutes of the March 26, 1999 Board of Directors meeting. The Minutes of the meeting state:

Mr. Petersen then reported that the Institute had been approached to determine if it was interested in publishing a study by Pickford and Lindemann on the subject of life outside of the earth. After discussion, there was general agreement that publication of the study would be a good idea and would be consistent with the work otherwise being done by the Institute with respect to wild cards.

While the study mentioned by Pickford and Lindemann is not identified, here is an online account of eight alien contact scenarios they developed for a workshop on extraterrestrial contact as recalled by one of the participants:

Called the second “Contact Planning” meeting and held in Denver, Colorado, this workshop was sponsored by the International Space Sciences Organization and organized by Kyle Pickford and Michael Lindemann…. We spent one afternoon in five groups: business, religion, science, government, and media/public. Each group role-played its behavior for each of eight scenarios. Although I have read lots of literature on post-contact behavior, this was the first time that I deeply grasped just how people in each of those categories may actually behave right after contact…. What can we do now to prepare? We spent the last few hours of the meeting generating and clustering various strategic planning possibilities. A large number of these ideas clearly fit into two clusters that I find very encouraging: (a) tell the general public the truth right away and (b) prepare to communicate and negotiate with ETI in a friendly and cooperative manner, even if its behavior seems unfriendly.

The minutes of the meeting confirm that the Arlington Institute was discussing extraterrestrial contact scenarios in at least one Board of Directors meeting as Fitts claimed. Importantly, the minutes confirm that the Arlington Institute was doing work for clients that involved extraterrestrial contact as a wild card issue. According to Ms Fitts, one of these clients was the US Navy.

In private email communications, Petersen confirmed that Fitts did participate in a Navy Project conducted by the Arlington Institute, and that the extraterrestrial contact issue did come up as a “wild card” future scenario event. However, he pointed out that there was no strategic plan commissioned by the US Navy to prepare the public for extraterrestrial contact as claimed by Fitts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlOCMwSb6Ec&feature=player_embedded

There remains substantial differences between Catherine Fitts and John Petersen over the extent to which the US Navy interest in extraterrestrial contact issues was part of a strategic study as Fitts claims, or simply part of ad hoc discussions as Petersen contends. Nevertheless, the official Board minutes released by Fitts does lend support to her main claim that the US Navy commissioned a project with the Arlington Institute for its expertise on wild card future scenarios involving extraterrestrial contact. It can therefore be concluded with some confidence that official efforts began in 1998 by the US Navy to prepare for a world where extraterrestrials exist and are living among the human population.
