In special reports, this weeks files cover: Ancient Pre Buddhist Bon ET Teachings, Planet Found in Nearest Star System to Earth, Life on Distant Moons, Enceladus Moon has Geysers of Water, Evolution vs. Panspermia, Carrier Tracked a UFO over Korea, and KGB's 'Blue Folder' Reveals Shootings, Landings in USSR

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.

Ancient Pre-Buddhist Bon ET Teachings

John Myrdhin Reynolds translated Tibetan Bon teachings that claim about 18,000 years ago Tonpa Shenrab or (Buddha Shenrab) came from another planet where he resided already as an enlightened being or Buddha. He descended to the earth in order to teach the spiritual path to liberation and enlightenment. Further, our Earth is only one of an infinite number of planets inhabited by intelligent life forms with civilizations in the universe. The 14th Dalai Lama has said, "Bon is Tibet's oldest spiritual tradition and, as the indigenous source of Tibetan culture, played a significant role in shaping Tibet's unique identity.

Bon teachings are now starting to be accepted by our scientists as shown below.

Planet Found in Nearest Star System to Earth

European astronomers have discovered a planet with about the mass of the Earth orbiting a star in the Alpha Centauri system — the nearest to Earth. The planet was detected using the HARPS instrument on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESOs La Silla Observatory in Chile.

Alpha Centauri is one of the brightest stars in the southern skies and is the nearest stellar system to our Solar System — only 4.3 light-years away. It is actually a triple star — a system consisting of two stars similar to the Sun orbiting close to each other, designated Alpha Centauri A and B, and a more distant and faint red component known as Proxima Centauri. Since the nineteenth century astronomers have speculated about life on planets orbiting stars beyond our Solar System, but searches had revealed nothing; until now.

"Our observations extended over more than four years using the HARPS instrument and have revealed a tiny, but real, signal from a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri B every 3.2 days," says Xavier Dumusque (Geneva Observatory, Switzerland). "Its an extraordinary discovery and it has pushed our technique to the limit!"

Alpha Centauri B is very similar to our Sun but slightly smaller and less bright. The newly discovered planet, with a mass of a little more than that of the Earth, is orbiting about six million kilometers away from the star, much closer than Mercury is to the Sun in our Solar System.

"This is the first planet with a mass similar to Earth ever found around a star like the Sun. Its orbit is very close to its star and it must be much too hot for life as we know it," adds Stphane Udry (Geneva Observatory "This result represents a major step towards the detection of a twin Earth in the immediate vicinity of the Sun. http://astrowatchblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/planet-found-in-nearest-star-system-to.html

Never Mind Life on Distant Planets. What about Distant Moons?

A new study — and a new book — herald a whole new chapter of exoplanet research

There are up to 176 moons in our solar system circling six planets. Some are little more than giant bits of cosmic rubble, but many of them are much more — dynamic, even violent, and a few maybe capable of supporting life. What makes many of these moons special is whats known as tidal heating — a gravitational squeezing that takes place as the moon orbits its parent planet and is periodically tugged on by its sister moons in nearby orbits. On Jupiters Io, this produces explosive volcanoes; on Ios neighbor Europa, it means a water-ice crust with what may have a global ocean underneath.

Russian astrophysicist Boris Rodionov stated that Jupiters moon, "Europa is inhabited by an ancient and technologically advanced civilization."

Boris Rodionov claims to have proof of the existence of "a highly developed extraterrestrial civilization on Europa. A portion of the surface appears to show tubes and structures. Through the use of sophisticated photographic analysis the scientist managed to make out the contours of what he calls pipe lines, tunnels and spherical domes similar to the "Chunnel" that crosses the English Channel. "

Note: The tube or tunnel like structures shown above are thousands of feet wide, some being 40 kilometers wide. The likelihood of warming lakes makes it likely life exists on Europa. The photo clearly shows--according to Rodionov--that the lines formerly considered as mere fissures by the scientific community actually cross over each other like a knot of expressways.

Scientists believe what happens in our solar system may be happening all over the galaxy. A new study by a pair of astrophysicists at Princeton University suggests that as investigators discover more and more exoplanets — worlds orbiting other stars — they might also discover tidally heated exomoons. This represents a big step forward toward the fields ultimate goal: finding worlds like our own — mirror Earths — that just might be home to life.

Planet hunters are racing to find a true twin of Earth. Science writer Michael Lemonick has unique access to these exoplaneteers, as they call themselves, and "Mirror Earth" his new book unveils their passionate quest.

That puzzle finally pushed astronomers to act in a big way, and in 2009, NASA launched the Kepler Space Telescope to look for exoplanets and in three years the spacecraft has identified 77 previously unknown worlds and 2,321 candidates still to be confirmed. But searching for exoplanets is not easy. Theyre almost always too small and too remote to detect visually. Instead, astronomers must infer their presence either by measuring the wobble in distant stars — a sign that something massive is orbiting them — or, as Kepler does, by looking at the slight dimming in light as a planet passes in front of a stars facing side.

In the newly released paper, the investigators — Mary Anne Peters and Edwin Turner — wonder if tidally heated exomoons might serve as a sort of beacon to locate the planets they orbit. A pulsing moon may emit heat exceeding 1,303 F, or 727 C. Thats cold by the standards of the parent star, but hot by comparison to the parent planet. And that may be just enough for the moon to be detected by infrared telescopes.

Exomoons may not even have to be tidally heated to harbor life. Rather, they could absorb plenty of solar heat if they happened to be orbiting a planet that lies in whats called the Goldilocks Zone where liquid water could exist.

Exoplanet research is still in its comparative infancy, with Kepler in service for less than four years. But its not too early to say that the discovery of a mirror Earth is far closer than its ever been. http://science.time.com/2012/10/15/never-mind-life-on-distant-planets-what-about-distant-moons/#ixzz29Wd3QyRz

Saturns Moon Enceladus Geysers of Water Vapor

A bunch of volcano-like jets are sending fantastically high geysers of water vapor up into the sky from Saturns Moon Enceladus, so high that you can see them in this remarkable print by Michael Benson. It turns out this moon, is a snowball containing what may be a sea of liquid water, warmed by the squishes and stretches of Saturn and other moons that pass nearby (plus it may have a hot, rocky core.) All that gravity pushing and pulling on this little ball squeezes the liquid inside so it shoots up through some fissures at the top.

Nobody knew these fountains were there until the Cassini spacecraft flew near enough to Enceladus to find them. Some of that water vapor turns into ice and the crystals fall like snow; but some ice is thrown so high it joins the "E." ring around Saturn.

According to Sascha Kempf of the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg, this moon is "feeding" water crystals into Saturn's ring. Who knew that a moon could spray ice onto a planetary ring? Before these photos were taken, scientists thought teeny meteorites, called micrometeoroids, would slam into Saturn's moons kicking up dust forming the rings. Nobody imagined that the rings would be fed by geysers. It is thought that where water exists life can also be present. http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2012/09/07/160743112/volcano-shoots-geyser-of-water-up-into-space

Evolution vs. Panspermia

Professor Alex Antonites writes, "Darwin's hypothesis on the origin of life invokes a primeval or primordial soup in water." This idea, and the very concept of evolution from the sea to more complex life, moving from sea inland, is not that of Darwin, but was originally formulated by the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras. Darwin's original contribution is the causal principle of natural selection, the main principle which drives evolution. The Darwinian primeval soup is a biochemical mix which led to biological primitive life. This is the idea of abiogenesis or geogenesis, which is of both biological and philosophical importance: life evolved from non-life, lifeless matter. So it is an evolution from biochemistry to biology. This occurred independently from the rest of the universe.

Darwin did not say anything about extraterrestrial life. Jules Verne (1828-1905) was possibly the first author to advance the idea of extraterrestrials.

A new hypothesis (actually quiet old!) arrived on the scene in the 20th Century - panspermia. This literally means that seeds of life exist throughout the universe. It is supposed that the seeds exist mainly in interstellar gas or space - within, and especially outside, our solar system.

Life originated because it was seeded on Earth, other planets or moons, and elsewhere in the universe, by comets or meteors in our solar system as well as others in the universe. Just like evolution, the idea of panspermia was first formulated by Greek philosophy, in this case by Anaxagoras in the 5th Century BC. The idea of seed sperm re-occurred in a somewhat different form in medieval philosophy. Scientists like Hermann von Helmholz in 1878 even suggested a strong program of panspermia: because he could not prove spontaneous generation, he suggested that life always existed during eternity and not matter.

The same view uttered by Russian geochemist V I Vernadskii in the early 20th Century. Later, Svante Arrhenius referred to it again in 1903.

Panspermia has gained importance during the past decade, and is supported by such well known and respected scientists, as SETI League member and astronomer Chandra Wicremasinghe (1939- ). With him another famous astronomer, Sir Fred Hoyle (1915-2001) also supported it. (Shown Here)

My point is that panspermia is no longer merely speculation or fiction; evidence seems to be growing in favor of this hypothesis.

"All planets are like a great meadow, open to whatever spores or seedlings blow by or are actually carried by meteorites have to play in at least getting prebiological materials to planets." Are evolution and panspermia mutually exclusive? I would like state the following: evolution and panspermia are talking in different voices. They are not the same. The one sees the origin of life in abiogenesis, biology from biochemistry. Panspermia connects Earth with the rest of the universe; with external seeding of life from elsewhere in the universe - even very far from Earth. Would this then make them mutually exclusive, inconsistent with each other? I do not think so. Even were panspermia to attain the status of a theory, I do not see them as necessary conflicting. Both can safely be maintained together. Panspermia does not try to falsify abiogenesis. Bringing building blocks of life from the outside gives a jumpstart to life. It accelerates the process already going on. It acts as a catalyst, but also enriches the life forming processes with new things. Amino acids, hydrogen, carbon, methane,the entire organic-chemistry setswirl through star systems and dust planets and moons.

In 2009, NASAs Stardust mission found the amino acid glycine in the comet Wild 2. On August 6, 1996, NASA stunned the world with a midday press conference announcing that a meteorite from Mars, known as ALH84001, contained evidence of what appeared to be fossilized bacteria, although some scientists claim inorganic processes were responsible.

"Its an unbelievable day," said then NASA administrator Daniel Goldin who privately has admitted there is life out in space that visits us.

President Clinton stated, "It took my breath away, "if this discovery is confirmed it will surely be one of the most stunning insights into our universe that science has ever uncovered."

"Over the course of 300 million years, about 3 billion might have struck Earth and many carry the building blocks of life."

If one should push the ultimate question at its furthest, and ask: where does panspermia's common Ancestry for life come from? This far-off, very first life may then have to be explained by evolution - biochemical and biological. Evolution and panspermia tie in to each other. Panspermia does not annihilate evolution; rather, it enlarges it. Thanks to SETI League Regional Coordinator for South Africa

U.S. Aircraft Carrier Tracked a UFO over Korea

On February 2, 1952 radar operators aboard the aircraft carrier Philippine Sea picked up an unidentified high-speed UFO off the east coast of Korea. The object was first detected twenty-five miles away and closed to twenty miles making a wide turn away from the carrier. The Philippine Sea sent a message to the Commander Naval Forces Far East describing two UFO contacts stating: "Measured speed 10 miles per-minute (600 MPH) for first minute, I5 miles per minute (900 MPH) for second minute, 30 miles per minute (1800 MPH) for third minute. They opened as two UFO contacts 5 to 12 miles apart."

Three signal observers on the deck of the Philippine Sea also sighted the UFO and reported they detected three exhaust flames. The observers stated that the trail appeared as aircraft exhaust during the time the object reversed its course. However, no aircraft at that time was capable of the incredible speeds attained by the UFO. The UFO position seventeen miles from the carrier was tracked on radar at 52,000 feet altitude, and faded from the radar at 110 miles. The carrier was 20 miles from Korea and the island of Uflung.

The comment of the Intelligence Officer stated, "A thorough debriefing was made of the radar operator who is very intelligent, efficient, and cooperative. Operator was cognizant of capabilities and limitations of the radar equipment and made careful plots. He determined that it was not a friendly aircraft, and a general alarm was sounded. The three minutes of careful plotting were made after the object had turned and was heading away. Operator was adamant that the speeds shown were approximately correct."

A letter classified SECRET was sent on April 8, I952, by the Commander Naval Operations, Far East, to the Chief of Naval Operations, enclosing a track chart of the UFO and stating in part: "This is probably the first instance of a visual and radar contact on a high-speed aerial target being made simultaneously in the Far East." - J.

KGB's 'Blue Folder' Reveals Shootings, Landings in USSR

Translator an engineer Vadim K. Ilyin obtained Soviet so-called "Blue Folder"-KGB documents on UFOs that were taken off the security list in October 1991. Copies are kept by the Russian Geographical Society's Ufological Committee. The existence of UFOs was frequently confirmed by the Soviet military. UFOs were observed from the ground, sea, air, and on radar.

The "Blue Folder" describes a 1984, UFO encounter in the Turkestan Military District. Anti-aircraft defense systems near Astrakhan "tracked" a UFO flying the Caspian Sea coast at an altitude of 2000 meters. It did not respond to interrogations and its shape resembled a sphere. Two fighters were scrambled and fired at a sphere shaped object as it descended to -300 feet making further firing by the fighters impossible and all attempts to shoot the UFO down failed.

When the UFO approached the town of Krasnovodsk, a helicopter was scrambled to make an attempt to shoot the intruder down, but the UFO quickly climbed and hovered at the altitude that was inaccessible for the helicopter. After the pilots had spent all their ammunition the helicopter descended for landing, the UFO headed toward the open sea and disappeared from radars. English pravda.ru
