La "main de Dieu" repérée dans l'espace par un télescope de la NASA

Le télescope spatial NuSTAR a permis à une équipe de la NASA d’observer un nuage de matière spatiale à la forme étonnante qui a poussé les scientifiques à la surnommer "main de Dieu". 

Un nuage de points rouges, des filaments jaunâtres et une sorte de boule de lumière bleue... A première vue, cet ensemble ne rappelle pas grand chose, à moins d'utiliser son imagination. Et c'est précisément ce qu'ont fait les scientifiques de la NASA qui ont étudié cette structure et y ont tout simplement vu la "main de Dieu" ("hand of God") ! Ce nuage de matière a pu être observé grâce au télescope spatial NuSTAR (ou Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) qui en a donné un aperçu inédit.

En effet, grâce à ce télescope, il est possible d'observer les rayons X de haute énergie qui n'avaient jamais pu être captés avant dans ce nuage. Sur l'image, ils apparaissent en bleu. Les autres couleurs, rouge et vert, proviennent de précédentes observations réalisées elles, par l'observatoire Chandra détectant des rayons X de plus faible énergie. Ce nuage de matière est situé à 17.000 années-lumière de la Terre et est ce qu'on appelle un plérion ou en anglais, "pulsar wind nebula", explique la NASA dans un communiqué.

Un nuage qui brille

Il est alimenté par le coeur dense d'une étoile qui a explosé en supernova. Ce dernier appelé PSR B1509-58 (ou B1509) serait l'un des pulsars les plus jeunes de notre Galaxie, avec un âge d'environ 1.500 ans. Il tourne sur lui-même à raison de sept fois par seconde dans la constellation du Compas. Et tout en tournoyant, il libère un vent de particules qui balaie la matière éjectée suite à l'explosion de l'étoile.

Les particules interagissent alors les champs magnétiques présents ce qui a pour effet de chauffer le nuage et de le rendre brillant, par l'intermédiaire de l'émission de rayons X.

"Le résultat est un nuage qui, dans les images précédentes, ressemble à une main ouverte", explique la NASA, justifiant le surnom choisi par les scientifiques. Le pulsar lui-même peut être aperçu dans l'image et est localisé près du point blanc brillant. Toutefois, la structure est loin d'avoir dévoilé tous ses mystères.

Une structure mystérieuse

Par exemple, les astronomes ignorent si les particules émises interagissent avec la matière de façon à former la main ou alors si la matière présente déjà une forme ressemblant à une main. Le nouvel aperçu fourni par le télescope NuSTAR permet d'apporter de nouvelles pièces au puzzle. L'image montre que la "main" parait un peu contractée, la faisant un peu plus ressembler à un poing.

Par ailleurs, la région située au nord, où se trouvent les doigts, est plus repliée que celle située au sud, suggérant que les deux sont physiquement différentes, indique la NASA. Le nuage rouge situé à l'extrémité des doigts, en tout cas, est lui une structure bel et bien différente nommée RCW 89. Les astronomes pensent que le vent libéré par le pulsar réchauffe le nuage, le poussant à émettre de la lumière sous forme de rayons X de plus faible énergie, apparaissant ainsi en rouge sur les observations du télescope Chandra.

UFO sighting over Mexico City on 12th January 2014

New amazing video footage of a UFO recorded in the daytime sky above Mexico City on 12th January 2014.

Witness said:
Object was video taped on Sunday January 12, 2014 in the southern part of Mexico City at 3:14 pm, using a GZ_MG630AU JVC Everio camcorder model. There are 3 different shots.

Mensen kunnen met hun geestkracht fysieke objecten buigen

De Amerikaanse luchtmacht heeft diverse malen onderzoek laten doen naar teleportatie en aanverwante fenomenen.

Teleporteren is de rechtstreekse verplaatsing van objecten van de ene plaats naar de andere, zonder dat het object fysiek de ruimte tussen beide plaatsen hoeft te doorkruisen.

Op de website van de Federation of American Scientists (FAS) is bijvoorbeeld het Teleportation Physics Report (pdf) te vinden. Daarin zegt hoofdonderzoeker Eric Davis dat geestelijke teleportatie, waarbij je door middel van gedachten van de ene locatie naar de andere gaat, echt is en kan worden gestuurd.

Sterrenpoorten

In de studie passeren diverse experimenten de revue. Er wordt gesproken over kwantumteleportatie, een techniek waarbij de eigenschappen – niet de locatie – van subatomaire deeltjes op grote afstand worden veranderd.

Met behulp van wormgaten, of sterrenpoorten zoals Davis ze noemt, kan men daarnaast met behulp van de zwaartekrachtvelden in de buurt van zwarte gaten openingen creëren naar afgelegen gebieden in het heelal.

Het document gaat dieper in op experimenten die zijn gedaan met telekinese, of geestelijke teleportatie, waarbij wordt verwezen naar UFO-waarnemingen, Russische en Chinese studies naar paragnosten en onderzoeken uitgevoerd door het Amerikaanse leger naar het buigen van vorken en lepels. Indiviuen bleken in staat het bestek te buigen zonder daarbij fysieke kracht uit te oefenen.

Verzien

In 1994 werden bovendien stukken vrijgegeven over een project dat was gericht op remote viewing of verzien. Het project, uitgevoerd door de inlichtingendiensten van het Amerikaanse leger, moest antwoord geven op de vraag of de geestkracht van de mens kon worden aangewend om de Sovjet-Unie te bespioneren.

Davis adivseerde de luchtmacht 7,5 miljoen dollar (5,5 miljoen euro) te investeren in experimenten met geestelijke teleportatie.

Alien Abduction Self-Defense and Resistance

                           by Paul Schroeder

Buitenaards contact als voorbode van alomvattende ascentie

Niet alleen de aarde, maar het hele universum ondergaat momenteel het proces van ascentie, waarbij het leven zoals we dat kennen drastisch zal veranderen.

Het fysieke universum ontwikkelt zich dusdanig dat lagere energie-frequenties uiteindelijk gaan verdwijnen.

Dat staat te lezen in het nieuwe boek From Contact to Ascension: Timely Information from members of the Intergalactic Board of Council. In het boek wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen de hogere vijfde, zesde en zevende dimensies en de lagere eerste, tweede en derde dimensies. In de hogere dimensies overheerst eenheidsbewustzijn: het leven is onlosmakelijk verbonden en leeft in harmonie. De lagere dimensies worden gekenmerkt door de dualiteit en mensen worden geconfronteerd met waarden die gebaseerd zijn op goed/slecht.

Type IV

Mensen die ascentie ondergaan blijven in hun lichaam, dat op den duur in perfecte staat van gezondheid is en terugkeert naar de oorspronkelijke blauwdruk. Mensen die geascendeerd zijn zoals dat heet, leren te manifesteren met behulp van hun gedachten waardoor alle technologieën en fysieke structuren die we kennen veranderen. Dit doet denken aan hetgeen Arthur C. Clarke omschrijft in zijn boek Childhood’s End.

Het ascentieproces blijkt niet alleen voorbehouden te zijn aan intelligent leven. Ook planeten en sterren ondergaan dit proces. De schrijfster van het boek krijgt haar informatie naar eigen zeggen van wezens die op basis van het werk van de Russische astronoom Nikolaj Kardasjev (1964) kunnen worden geclassificeerd als type IV buitenaardsen, buitenaardsen die alle beschikbare energie in een supercluster van melkwegstelsels kunnen gebruiken.

De Australische onderzoeker dr. Michael Salla zegt dat geascendeerde wezens de aarde al duizenden jaren helpen in een poging het bewustzijn te verruimen. Het doel is steeds geweest om de mensheid klaar te stomen voor geavanceerde buitenaardse technologieën die in diverse tijdperken beschikbaar zijn gekomen.

Higgs-bosondeeltje

De laatste tijd is er veel aandacht geweest voor de ontdekking van het Higgs-bosondeeltje. De Large Hadron Collider werd in eerste instantie gebouwd om het bestaan van het Higgsveld te bevestigen, het veld dat deeltjes afremt waardoor ze massa krijgen. Dat gebeurde op het moment dat het Higgs-bosondeeltje werd gevonden.

Wetenschappers hebben ontdekt dat het Higgsveld instabiel is. Als dit veld verandert, kan het fysieke universum imploderen. Volgens het boek zal deze zogeheten Big Crunch, de ineenstorting van het heelal als gevolg van de zwaartekracht, over miljarden eonen (de grootste eenheid voor tijd) plaatsvinden.

In From Contact to Ascension staan technologieën omschreven die zijn ontwikkeld om de verbinding tussen het brein en de ziel te verbreken. Met name mobiele telefoons bereiken dit doel omdat ze ervoor zorgen dat mensen makkelijker zijn te manipuleren.

In het boek lezen we verder dat buitenaardsen in de toekomst openlijk verschijnen en interacteren met de mensheid. Daarnaast is er aandacht voor de publieke bekendmaking van buitenaards contact, waarbij onderscheid wordt gemaakt tussen inspanningen van burgers om informatie naar buiten te brengen en de officiële bekendmaking door overheden.

UFO's ontglippen aan Iraanse gevechtsvliegtuigen

Het Amerikaanse tijdschrift Combat Aircraft Monthly maakt melding van onbekende vliegende objecten die in het Iraanse luchtruim zijn waargenomen door piloten van F-14 Tomcat gevechtstoestellen.

De schrijver van het stuk gaat met name in op UFO-waarnemingen rond nucleaire installaties in het land.

In november 2004 probeerde een Iraanse F-14 Tomcat een lichtgevend object boven de kernreactor in Arak te onscheppen, toen plotseling zijn radarstraal werd verstoord. De piloot omschreef het object als bolvormig met een groene naverbrander. Het object accelereerde en ‘verdween als een meteoriet’.

Kerncentrale

In januari 2012 werd een F-14 ingezet om een onbekend object boven de kerncentrale in Bushehr te onderscheppen. Het toestel explodeerde enkele seconden nadat het was opgestegen.

Het is niet voor het eerst dat Iraanse gevechtstoestellen worden geconfronteerd met UFO’s. In 1976 wisten Iraanse F-4 Phantoms er niet in te slagen om lichtgevende objecten boven Teheran te onderscheppen. De instrumenten van de vliegtuigen werden door een onbekende kracht uitgeschakeld.

De objecten haalden naar verluidt Mach 10. Dat is 10 keer de snelheid van geluid. Voor zover bekend bestaat er geen vliegtuig dat zich gedraagt zoals de UFO’s in Iran. De X-43A Scramjet van NASA bereikte in 2004 een topsnelheid van 9,6 Mach, maar kan niet boven een doel blijven hangen.

Soesterberg

In Nederland komt informatie over confrontaties tussen UFO’s en de luchtmacht maar heel mondjesmaat naar buiten. Zo werd in augustus 1977 een schotelvormig object waargenomen boven vliegbasis Soesterberg, waarna een F-4 Phantom van de Amerikaanse 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron werd ingezet om de UFO te onderscheppen.

Het vliegtuig was uitgerust met complete wapenuitrusting, wat wijst op een scramble in plaats van een routinevlucht. De piloot voerde air combat manoeuvring (ACM) uit en crashte uiteindelijk met zijn F-4 in de Noordzee.

In 1979 werd op vliegbasis Soesterberg opnieuw een UFO waargenomen. Volgens de officiële lezing was het een luchtspiegeling, een verzinsel. Maar volgens verschillende Soesterbergers en specialisten ‘hebben buitenaardsen wel degelijk een bezoek gebracht aan de basis’.

Meteor Storms During Feast of Trumpets? Comet Siding Spring – NASA Implementation of a Meteor Detection System

                               (Before It's News)

We all know NASA is blatantly lying to the public about what is going on in the heavens. So we are left to seek the answers ourselves. Comet Siding Spring (C/2013 A1), the newest comet in our skies, is an Oort cloud comet discovered on January 3, 2013 by Robert H. McNaught at Siding Springs Observatory.  In the video below BPEarthwatch dives into the likelihood of meteor storms arriving during the Feast of Trumpets and its effects on Mars and ultimately the possibility of Mars’ disastrous effect on Earth.

Discovery Canada's "Close Encounters": The Worst UFO  'Documentary' Series Yet?

On Friday, January 10, 2014, the Discovery
Canada channel ran the first episide of a new Series, Close
Encounters. The series is expected to run in the U.S. in a few months.
It tells us,

• One Million UFOs are reported each year. [Dubious - MUFON receives less than
  10,000].
• 5% are unexplained
• These are the "Close Encounters"

Well, not really. "Close Encounters" are supposedly those cases where the UFO
comes within a few hundred yards of the observer. The problem is, people are
quite unable to accurately judge how far away a light in the sky is. The UFO
literature is filled with reported "close encounters" with objects whose
distance from the observer turns out to be measured in hundreds of miles, if not in millions.

The re-entry of the rocket booster Cosmos 2335, as depicted by Discovery Canada.

As you can deduce from the above promotional image, the series contains a large amount of re-enactment of supposedly unexplained UFO cases. We saw similar scenes in 2012 in the National Geographic's Chasing UFOs, which ultimately floundered because of the unintentional comedy of its "investigators" stumbling around in the dark with cameras and microphones seemingly hovering over every orifice, and ultimately finding nothing of significance. UFOs are not things that can be chased in real-time. But existing UFO claims can be endlessly re-enacted, and the reenactment can be sexed up to where even the original witnesses would not recognize it. Witnesses do not merely stand and look at a light in the sky. They fall to the ground and writhe while the light in the sky meancingly shines beams at them. As relief from the heavy drama, Close Encounters gives us talking heads who repeat every pro-UFO claim about the case, completely ignoring difficulties, inconsistencies, and - especially - rational explanations.

And what was the first UFO case of the first episode? Believe it or not, they chose the now-embarrassing 1996 "Yukon UFO" whose definitive explanation by Ted Molczan, Harro Zimmer, and James Oberg was published in this Blog nearly two years ago, on April 30, 2012. If you Google "Yukon UFO," that is the first page to come up. This Discovery Canada episode was filmed in March of 2013, so they can't say that they didn't know about the explanation. Before that explanation was published, space journalist and author James Oberg sent a courtesy note to Stanton Friedman, the "Flying Saucer Physicist." Oberg outlined the solution, and asked Friedman whether he wanted to reconsider his earlier strong endorsement of the case. Friedman's reply was clear and succinct: NO WAY JOSE.

Witness PEL2 drew the Yukon UFO passing below the Big Dipper

I won't repeat the details of the case here - you can read it in the linked Blog entry - but the supposed "close encounter UFO" reported by the observers matches up exactly with the flaming re-entry of  the rocket booster that placed the Cosmos 2335 satellite into orbit earlier that day. There is no possible doubt that this identification is correct. Ted Molczan is widely considered to be the top civilian authority on satellite observations and orbits. He is a major contributor to the satellite observing group SEESAT, containing the most serious and exacting satellite observers in the world. Harro Zimmer, another satellite expert, re-computed and refined Molczan's orbital calculations, and reached exactly the same conclusion. One of the observers drew the "UFO" passing under the Big Dipper, from left to right. Molczan's software drew the path of the decaying rocket booster, as seen from that location. It was exactly the same! Case Closed.

Molczan's software-generated plot of the decay of the rocket booster for Cosmos 2335

Discovery's "talking heads" for that case were Martin Jasek of UFO-BC, the original investigator of the case, and Chris Rutkowski, a Canadian UFO researcher who has had (at least until now) a decent reputation for objectivity.
Rutkowski was participating in a Facebook discussion of the case a few days before the episode aired. I entered the thread to ask, "Chris Rutkowski, I'm just wondering if you were totally unaware that the Yukon UFO case was solidly debunked almost two years ago?", and gave a link to my Blog entry. Rutkowski replied, 

Robert: Of course. I am aware it was debunked, but not too solidly. I reviewed the analysis that it could have been a rocket re-entry, and I discussed it with the original investigator, Martin Jasek, who is also interviewed in the episode. We knew that some of the characteristics of the re-entry could have been be observable that night. One sticking point was the set of observations by the two cousins who observed the object simultaneously from two different angles, with one at an acute angle and the other directly underneath. Given the altitude of the re-entry and the small separation of the two witnesses' simultaneous observations, the two are not compatible. In fact, this is what I focussed on when I was interviewed for the episode. I recall that on camera Iexplained that there had been the suggested explanation as a rocket re-entry, but the cousins' testimonies were at odds with it. Whether that is reflected in the aired episode, I suppose we'll see... [it wasn't]

I replied,...we know for certain that the Russian rocket booster body was right where the witnesses said they saw their UFO. The drawing of the UFO passing under the Big Dipper, left to right, matches exactly the calculated path of the flaming booster. If a UFO was also present, then two bright objects should have been reported, not one. Knowing how unreliable eyewitness testimony often is, it makes much more sense to attribute discrepancies to witness fallibility, guided by preconceived ideas about what UFOs are like, than to assume that a "real UFO" miraculously appeared at the same time and place as the flaming rocket body.

James Oberg jumped in with, "Chris, I'm going to elaborate on Robert's point: to suggest as you did that 'some' of the witness reports could be attributed to the simo reentry apparition is to require the 'UFO doppelganger effect' -- a TRUE UFO chose the reentry event opportunity to fly along the same path at a much lower altitude and speed, while also perfectly blocking its witnesses from ALSO observing the ongoing satellite reentry. Gribble expressed this hypothesis in the MUFON Journal about a 1987 reentry which seems to have sparked a vivid CEIII event that he wanted to believe. To call this merely a ''stretch" is to reinvent Spandex. When you seriously study the range of witness misperceptions from other documented reentries -- as Molczan and I have done, see www.spaceobs.org -- you find there is NO witness perception to the Yukon event that does not have precedents in reports from earlier reentries. Of course that does not PROVE that Yukon wasn't different from every earlier reentry witness testimony, but it diminishes the likelihood substantially. In an email discussion, Oberg notes,

We should also point out that Rutkowski's and Jasek's approach to testing the reliability of the eyewitness testimony starts with Step #1: "Assume the testimony is reliable." I can't make this kind of stuff up. As Ted has already pointed out in detail, for example, the 'triangulation' approach to proving the object was nearby relies on implicitly assuming the object was nearby and 'overhead' as described by a witness, despite numerous instances from the case studies I've prepared in which people [who see the apparition high in the sky and think it's nearby] reasonably extend to it the vague description "overhead".
How many times does that have to be shown to be 'the rule' rather than 'the exception' for bright fireball swarms even at lower elevation angles below 30
degrees?

Oberg has prepared the following resources to illustrate other cases in which observers made these same kind of mistakes in describing satellite reentries:

http://satobs.org/seesat_ref/Oberg/990901-US_Pacific_coast.pdf
http://satobs.org/seesat_ref/Oberg/850111-Bahamas_spaceship.pdf

http://www.jamesoberg.com/10-30-1963_kiev.pdf
http://satobs.org/seesat_ref/Oberg/63040B_re-entry.png

The absurdity is compounded by the fact that Molczan is Canadian, and lives right in Toronto, where the episode was filmed. He remarked, "they could have had my input for the cost of cab fare." But of course Discovery Canada had no interest in that. Not a hint of questioning or doubt appears in the episode.
Sensation and ratings are the only goal, and troubling facts are things to be ignored. This is Tabloid TV at its worst. The once-factual Discovery Channel has now joined the purveyors of entertainment masquerading as documentaries.

Russians Make Major UFO Disclosure Statement, Aliens Are Real

                             (Before It's News)

According to this information the Russians have known about alien civilizations for several decades, to many this comes as no surprise, there have been rumors floating around for many years. Well respected military and government scientist have been trying to speak out on this issue for sometime now. In the vast majority of cases the mainstream media either treats this like a non event, or they treat it like the information is coming from very unreliable sources. This information is a big step in disclosure process for mankind. 

In Soviet times, the Ministry of Defense was working on a secret project aimed at creating a superhuman with paranormal abilities. Under this project, a group of scientists managed to get in touch with a foreign(read alien) civilization. The head of this top-secret project shared some details with reporters for the first time.

On a regular winter day in Moscow, in the comfort a room with a fireplace, journalists were given a real sensation. A senior retired official of the Ministry of Defense, lieutenant-general in reserve, PhD, a fellow of the Academy of Natural Sciences Alexey Savin said that in the late 1980′s a group of researchers from the Expert Management Unit of General Staff managed to make a contact with representatives of another civilization. 

Interestingly, none of the journalists were particularly surprised but, rather, relieved with the “confession.

Vasily Yeremenko, a Major General of FIB in reserve, academician of the Academy of Security, Defense and Law Enforcement, was the first to speak to the press. In Soviet times he served in the KGB and supervised the Air Force and development of aviation technology. 

Among his assignments was collection of information by the Air Force of the facts of appearance of unidentified flying objects. According to Vasily Yeremenko, by that time there was an ample amount of such information.

A review of the Pysical Evidence, history, the methods, the technology, and the scientific pioneers in the search for extraterrestrial life.

Alien implants is a term used in Ufology to describe a physical object placed in someone's body after they have been abducted by aliens. Claimed capabilities of the implants range from telepresence to mind control to biotelemetry (the latter akin to humans tagging wild animals for study). As with UFO subjects in general, the idea of "alien implants" has seen very little attention from mainstream scientists.

According to Peter Rogerson writing in Magonia magazine, the concept of alien implants can be traced to a March 1957 Long John Nebel radio show interview with UFOlogist John Robinson where Robinson recounted a neighbor's claim of being kidnapped by aliens in 1938 and kept subdued by "small earphones" placed behind his ears.

Massachusetts resident Betty Andreasson claimed that aliens had implanted a device in her nose during her supposed alien abduction in 1967, first publicized by Raymond Fowler in his book, The Andreasson Affair. A Canadian woman named Dorothy Wallis claimed a similar experience in 1983. In later years, the claims of authors like Whitley Streiber would popularize alien abduction ideas in general, including reports of unusual "implants" associated with abductions. Dr. John E. Mack wrote in his book Abduction: Human Encounters With Aliens that he examined a "1/2- to 3/4-inch thin, wiry object" given to him by a twenty-four-year-old woman client who claimed it came out of her nose following an abduction experience. California podiatrist Roger Leir also claims to have removed alien implants from patients.

Roger K. Leir is a podiatrist and ufologist best known as an investigator of alien implants. Leir has appeared on TV and talk radio programs devoted to ufology.

Leir says he's removed about a dozen implants from people's bodies and claims they are devices that "emit radio signals." Leir alleges that implants have moved by themselves during surgery as if to avoid removal. Leir says that laboratory testing of the implants imply they are of extraterrestrial origin.

THE STRANGE PARANORMAL SAGA OF TIMOTHY GREEN BECKLEY – WHAT A LONG, STRANGE TRIP IT’S BEEN! - PART I

                     By Sean Casteel

He calls himself “Mr. UFO,” and chances are you have one or more of his books in your library. He’s written about 50 works on UFOs, the paranormal and a tome or two on celebrities like John Lennon. In addition, as a publisher of some renown, he has made available a total of approximately 250 titles by other authors, such as T. Lobsang Rampa, Brad Steiger, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and, of course, yours truly, Sean Casteel. They are all available Amazon.com.    

Click here to enlarge top photo.

Timothy Green Beckley, president of Inner Light – Global Communications, has recently released an updated version of “Strange Saga,” an eclectic collection of    his earliest writings that spans a period beginning in the 1960s and running through until the 1980s. Beckley has also included a smattering of the newspaper articles written about him during that same period, mostly in small town local papers that covered his radio and television appearances as he traveled the country spreading his views on UFOs and the Ultra-Terrestrial presence, as he prefers to identify the energies behind the UFO puzzle. An energetic researcher, Beckley often spent weeks “On The Trail Of The Flying Saucers,” which just so happened to be the title of his regular column in a popular newsstand magazine, “Flying Saucers From Other Worlds,” published by one of his mentors, the late Raymond A. Palmer. (Palmer is often credited as having created the flying saucer craze in the late 1940s. He was one of the original editors of “FATE Magazine” and a friend of the original flying saucer observer Kenneth Arnold.) Truth is,  Beckley was pounding the pavement in the era before Budd Hopkins and Whitley Strieber arrived upon the scene to take away some of his thunder. Beckley was even invited by his friend the Earl of Clancarty, Brinsley Le Poer Trench, to speak before a closed session of the House of Lords on the emerging global UFO phenomena.  

The obvious temptation is to call this sort of “shameless self-promotion” extreme vanity, even hubris, but that would be to overlook how interesting, even more, how exquisitely assembled the overall package is. We are given an excellent time capsule, a look back that is admittedly nostalgic and sentimental at times, but which also functions as an historical primer in what the UFO culture was really like back then. Interestingly enough, Beckley sees himself as being highly objective in this field, thus overcoming all the bias that would shape his and others’ views. He managed to befriend the early contactees despite the fact that he was never a full-fledged cheerleader of their often farfetched claims, while at the same time remaining on fairly even terms with the more serious students of the subject. This despite his often awkward friendships with controversial figures like Jim Moseley and Gray Barker, who were often up to no good shenanigans in creating fraudulent scenarios in the guise of disinformation and having a bit of fun at the expense of others. 

Beckley is in his mid-60s and has suffered health problems recently, which are discussed in the new edition’s preface. He writes of how staring down death as he awaited heart surgery made him realize his own mortal impermanence, but also reinforced for him how the UFO phenomenon existed long before he arrived on Earth,  and would live on long after his demise, likely forever. He then pays tribute to his fallen comrades, men like Ray Palmer, Richard Shaver, Donald Keyhoe and Jim Moseley. Like him, they never learned the full truth, but also like him, they went on searching to the end. 

The next section of the book is an introduction I wrote for the first edition of “Strange Saga,” which is an only partially successful attempt to tell Beckley’s complex life story in a mere eleven pages. A great many of you reading this article may have already heard of Beckley, but it is doubtful that most of you know much about his personal history and what he often calls the “long, strange trip” that has been his earthly existence. 

Beckley began to publish material on UFOs at age fourteen, using a mimeograph machine he purchased with money he had made doing odd jobs. His interest in the subject began a few years earlier, when he was ten, and saw two UFOs rotating in the sky over his home in New Jersey. The fact that other neighbors had seen the UFO as well but that the local media completely ignored the sighting made him determined to bring the truth of the phenomenon to an unsuspecting world. 

Famous names in paranormal journalism like Ray Palmer and Gray Barker were sufficiently impressed with Beckley’s early efforts to give him a leg up by publishing his writing. The bulk of the columns Beckley wrote for Palmer’s publications are included in “Strange Saga,” such as Beckley’s account of attending the Third Annual Congress of Scientific UFOlogists conference in Cleveland in 1966. The amiable camaraderie Beckley describes as he greets old friends like Allen Greenfield and others who shared his passion for the subject is a joy to read about and restores one’s faith in the notion of our belonging to a UFO “community,” and not simply an aggregation of competing, ambitious researchers and writers trying to exploit flying saucers to make a fast buck. 

The fact that the UFO subject was also an impoverished element of pop culture was not lost on Beckley, and he often brought a kind of rock-n-roll chic to these public events that is evidenced in his writing as well, making the connections between UFOs and rock music not only more apparent but very entertaining. In the 1970s, he promoted concerts and dances in his adopted New York City and made the acquaintance of rock superstars interested in UFOs, such as David Bowie and John Lennon. 

Before going on to discuss Beckley’s early writing in more detail, I’d like to talk about some of the reporting about Beckley from those aforementioned local newspaper articles. For example, in an article in the “Sunday News,” a newspaper that billed itself as “New York’s Picture Newspaper,” (the “Daily News” at this time had a circulation of over three million copies a day) dated Sunday, August 31, 1969, writer Alex Michelini asks Beckley about his feelings on the Apollo 11 moon landing, which had taken place the previous month. 

“Now that man has stepped foot on the moon,” Michelini begins, “and found no signs of life, can we safely write off all those tales about flying saucers as pure bunk? ‘Not so fast,’ says Timothy Green Beckley. He’s one of the nation’s leading authorities on Unidentified Flying Objects and he insists it’s too early to discount the existence of life on the moon.” 

The writer then quotes Tim as saying, “I don’t really know how we could expect to find any signs of life when such a small portion of the surface of the moon was explored. In fact, there is ample evidence to indicate that the lunar surface is being used as a base by alien beings.” It should be noted that theories such as Lunar and even Martians bases are pretty common among even the “straight” UFOlogists in this supposedly more enlightened era.   

Tim continues by telling Michelini that he has spoken to several contactees who say they have been warned that – if earthlings attempt to colonize the moon – there will be serious repercussions on Earth, like earthquakes, fires and power failures. The space beings’ primary intent is to keep earthlings from using the moon for military purposes, and more specifically to prevent our misuse of nuclear weapons in space. 

Again, it is important to remember that these comments were being made in 1969, but using the moon for military purposes is still being discussed today, and the race to exploit the moon for numerous reasons continues to be a reality. 

A couple of the articles Beckley reprints refer to him as “moon-faced.” A newspaper in Tacoma, Washington, says, “Timothy Beckley is a good-natured, moon-faced man who has written half a dozen books about UFOs,” while a paper in Norfolk, Virginia, says, “A moon-faced man wearing rose-tinted sunglasses and purple tennis sneakers, [Beckley] considers himself the country’s expert on UFOs, space creatures, flying saucers and unexplained things that blink, bump or thump in the night.” I don’t know why exactly, but it struck me as sort of amusing that even the shape of Beckley’s face has a loose outer space connection, as though it were a kind of alien-imposed karma. Like most people in the world, he hasn’t been getting by on his good looks, which of course has no relation to his 50-year body of work, but he continues to employ his characteristic tongue-in-cheek approach to the subject and those associated with it as perceived by the media. The publishing of this sort of “On the Road” collection of newspaper and magazine clips makes him sound like the Jack Kerouac of UFOlogy, which Beckley says he has no problem with because it portrays him as a somewhat sexy, hipster figure in an otherwise straight-laced field of endeavor. 

At this point it is perhaps essential to point out that the title “Strange Saga” has a special meaning and plays a part in the roots of Beckley’s journalistic career. 

In addition to being a freelance stringer for several sensationalistic national tabloids, such as the Enquirer, the Tattler and the Star (now a glossy celebrity weekly sold at most supermarket checkout counters), Beckley also penned articles for many of the multimillion-selling men’s magazines, including the monthly “Saga Magazine,” which published a combination of adventure and UFO articles as well as a heavy dose of girly cheesecake photos  Seeing that the UFO topic was garnering them a new stable of readers they would not have attracted otherwise – and doubling their circulation – the owners of “Saga” decided to publish a spin-off pulp magazine called “UFO Report,” which paid its writers enough to attract a formidable stable of authors like John Keel, Otto Binder and, of course, Tim Beckley. The magazine is generally credited as having published some of the best-researched pieces on the subject of UFOs up until it went out of business in the 1980s. Since Beckley feels the articles he wrote for “Saga’s” brainchild are among his best ever, he decided to pay homage to the publication’s title and incorporate it in the title of the collection we are discussing.  Truth be told, some of that work was, in its time, truly groundbreaking and fascinating and it holds up decades later, as you will see when you peruse such contributions from the best of the “Saga” and “UFO Report” articles as:      

• Apollo 12’s Mysterious Encounter.

• Calvert, Texas: Flying Saucer Way Station.

• Invasion of the Space Giants.

• Warminster UK – The Town Haunted By Flying Saucers.

• Scientists’ Changing Attitude Toward Flying Saucers.

• Flying Saucers Over Our Cities.

• Carl Higdon, Kidnapped By Aliens – The Most Credible UFO Abduction Of All Time!

• UFO Base Just 40 Miles From The White House.

• UFOs Along California Fault Lines.

                                                                                                                                                  In what I consider to be one of the most groundbreaking pieces in the book, Beckley   writes about alien mind manipulation. The article is titled “The New UFO Terror Tactic.” Beckley begins by telling the story of Paul Clark (a pseudonym), who had a UFO encounter as a teenager. In the aftermath, Clark began to gradually fall apart, developing symptoms of mental illness that cost him his wife and his job, and made relationships with his family and coworkers extremely strained and eventually impossible to maintain at all. 

Clark described a later encounter that took place when he was still married. He and his wife were returning from visiting relatives in a nearby town at around 1:30 A.M. A UFO resembling a large, yellowish ball of fire appeared on the road ahead of them, and Clark slammed on the brakes to avoid colliding with it. He felt irresistibly directed to get out of the car and walk toward the UFO, leaving his pleading and frightened wife in the vehicle. 

When he returned, his wife said he looked as though he had been transformed into a monster, his features having changed into something grotesque, like special effects makeup had been used on him. She said she wanted to drive him to a hospital, but he shoved her aside and got into the driver’s seat. He grabbed the steering wheel in a rage and it bent out of shape, as though it was “made of putty.” 

Part II of this article continues tomorrow Tuesday, January 14, 2014!

UFO Case Review – Betty and Barney Hill Abduction, 1961

On the drive back home to Portsmouth, New Hampshire after a trip to Montreal Québec, Betty and Barney Hill caught sight of a UFO. The object followed them down the highway for some before swooping in over top of their car, producing some strange noises, and suddenly disappearing. But when the Hills reflected on the sequence of events that night, they realized that more had happened than they’d remembered. After undergoing hypnotherapy, the couple recovered memories of being taken aboard an extraterrestrial spaceship and subjected to intrusive medical examinations. This was the first widely publicized UFO case in modern history to involve so-called “missing time,” and it brought the subject of alien abduction to a world audience.
