Ancient Giants' Migration and Origins

(Before It's News)

 

I mean to prove that giants were not an aberration, but a vital part of our own evolution as homo sapiens. They have a part in our history and it is up to us to demand they get the credit for what they began and what we continue because of their influence and early migration out of Africa. 

Let's begin this post of my proposal of the origins and migration of ancient giants by looking at one location of ancient giants – Catalina Islands, California: 

Self-proclaimed archaeologist, Ralph Glidden, did not become famous or revered in his field of study, yet he managed to dig up and pilfer an amazing site of ancient human finds on Catalina Island in California in the early 1900s, where he sold off bone finds and created an oddities showcase museum.

Source: Little is known of Glidden’s early life.  In 1896, at the age of 16, he moved to Avalon with his parents from Lowell, Massachusetts.  He worked as a carpenter, but in 1915 he began to excavate Native American sites on San Nicolas and San Miguel Islands.  He quickly amassed an impressive collection that the Los Angeles Times suggested “would make any curator in this nation envious.”  In 1918, just three years after initiating his first dig, he sold his entire collection to the prestigious Heye Foundation of the Museum of the American Indian in New York.

In the fantastically comprehensive book The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons and the Great Smithsonian Cover-Up by Richard Dewhurst (I highly recommend), he writes a chapter about the island find stating that in the early 1900s, a huge burial complex with 6000 years of continuous burials and over 4000 skeletons existed there, some of the skeletons being 9 feet tall, and revealing what appeared to be kings and queens over time.

There are varying stories about Glidden, but they all add up to – this guy was an opportunist.  Many in the field of research dismiss him because he had no degree and because he was making money off selling finds as if they were trinkets for tourists and yet they were the very bones of people who were native to that land. Whether they were Native American or giant finds is the other debate.

There are pictures of the digs, but there are also reports of white skin, red hair, blond hair, tall height, and double rows of teeth. These particular features are rather unique and a theme repeated from Peru to Michigan.

Other California channel islands:   The island of Santa Rosa in California was the site of a dig in 1959 where they discovered giant skeletons covered in red ochre with skulls of the “primitive” otamid type.  “Native Races” by Bancroft “Mr Taylor from San Beneventura in 1861 stayed at Santa Rosa Island and he often came across entire skeletons of indians in caves with their ancient tools and double rows of teeth.

There is a running theme in these finds; often in caves, burial areas, with their tools, 7 feet or so tall, double rows of teeth, covered in red ochre, “primitive” type head. These finds are corrupted by the very fact that those digging them up had no archaeological comparison but Neanderthal. They believed them to be Native American since they were on American soil and “primitive.” What we knew at the time about ancient America was fed to us by the Christopher Columbus Patrons and those concepts included Neanderthal being the “loser” in the evolutionary competition and of a “primitive type.”

It has been reported that the Catalina Island finds were probably the longest running most vast dynasty of the red-haired/blond-haired giants.

What we know of ancient giants that is consistent -

Height was anywhere from 6'6″ to reportedly 12 feet.
They had Otamid-head shapes – elongated, sloping brow, powerful jaw (referred to as “primitive” because they were the shape of Neanderthal and he was a more primitive man, though that is assuming that he did not evolve and stay on the earth longer than thought).
Many are reported with double rows of teeth, 6 fingers, 6 toes.
They were buried with red ochre on their skin and found in caves or graves positioned just so.
They were found along waterways from Vancouver to Catalina Islands, Baja, Nevada Lake Lohantan, Great Lakes, Mississippi, Texas coastal area, tip of Argentina, South Pacific, Australia, Solomon Islands, Indonesia, New Guinea, Canary Islands, but there are also a good deal of them found in locations like Georgia and France.
They were reported with red and blond hair most often.
They mined copper and coveted seashells.

Continuing on with my theory that these are Denisovan/Neanderthal hybrids, the Neanderthal coloring and head shape are a perfect fit.  The had larger than homo sapiens' brains and much earlier exit from Africa that had them spreading through the globe with their other companion, the Denisovans. If they were both the offshoot of Heidelbergensis, then imagine with Heidelbergensis' reported height often around 7 feet, what their offshoot descendents would produce when mated together and what of the oddities like the teeth and toes – they could be a reflection of an early people having mated between themselves and setting up genetic propensity in their offspring or a trait that is more dominant when mating these two distantly related peoples together.

What I see is a pattern that these people were the “first people” who spread out of Africa (over 100,000 years before what would become modern man) all around the globe, practiced seafaring early on, and had culture and tools that we early homo sapiens leaving the African continent borrowed, stole, or learned from these earlier evolved people. This may be threatening as a concept to some, but it also could support Biblical legends about a bad race of people and wiping it clean. It accounts for the skeletons found with advanced technology as compared to what ancestors of “Natives” reported having, and also accounts for worldwide legends of dealing with cannibalistic giants.

We have a group of people who left Africa long before Mitochondrial Eve (who unites all of us “modern humans”). This group of people had the right coloring and head shape to become characteristic of ancient giants, and was from a lineage of overly tall people (Heidelbergensis), but to make a consistently taller race, they would have to mate with another group that has the same propensity from their predecessor (Heidelbergensis) to create offspring who were impressively taller!

They would have had to have had a jump on homo sapiens time wise and traveling wise around the world to develop advanced tools and concepts and habituate all the locations where their bones were eventually found.  In fact, they would be considered the true first settlers of earth in the genus of homo.

Neanderthal was a northern adapted fellow with the right head shape and cranial size, and strength and hair coloring, who was in the right location – around Siberia/Georgia/France (and still attached UK) and Canary Islands off the coast of Africa where red-haired giants of the Gaunche tribe were found, to leave their offspring giants there.  Finds in Europe are often more “primitive” in how they were buried and what they were buried with and this makes sense as this was the continent of their first migration into Asia.

As well, theses giants launched by boat from Asia towards the South Pacific and America around 60,000  to 45,000 years ago (around the time of Mungo Man of Australia who had no DNA relationship to the aborigines who were of Mitochondrial Eve).  This is the “second migration” for them (originally Africa to Europe and Asia in very primitive period).  Finds in this region of the South Pacific include some crude technology, seafaring abilities, and use of red ochre.  At this point, if these giants existed today, time-wise and evolutionary-wise, they would look pretty much identical now to this second migration period.

The final migration for the ancient giants was to Americas which I believe they entered by Peru or somewhere along the tip of South America. Here they created civilizations and were less nomadic. They showed more spirituality and technology including building and lining drink wells with a tar-like substance.

As they came up South America and hit Baja/Channel Islands of California to start a large civilization and head on to Lake Pohantan/Death Valley lakes where there was copper to mine,  and Texas Coast, up the Mississippi to Great Lakes and that copper region, they settled in to make dynasties that could trade with incoming paleo-indians (Karankawas admitted their people had traded for metal from the ones in the north) who were making their way to the Americas and coveting what the tall ones had and fearing their cannibalistic tendencies.

We see that giants' technology improved as they headed north in the Americas and their civilizations were greater until the “death” of the giants, according to American Indian legends, at the hands of their ancestors who drove them off and killed them.

Daily 2 Cents: Ghosts of Gallipoli — Pills With Powdered Human Baby Flesh — Apparition Runs Through Stadium Crowd

(Before It's News)

Ghosts of Gallipoli

Dusk had settled and night was closing in on Beach Cemetery at Hell Spit, on the old Anzac battlefields of Gallipoli, when Fairfax photographer Joe Armao opened the shutter on his last series of pictures for the day – and captured something inexplicable.

Only three people were at the cemetery, or anywhere, so far as we were aware, within kilometres: Armao, guide and local author Celal Boz, and me.

Celal was standing among the silent graves, the only person – no more than a silhouette in the gloom – in the camera’s field of vision.

By the time the shutter closed, what appeared to be another ghostly figure had been captured by the camera.

The shadowy silhouette of a figure in a wide-brimmed hat appeared in the frame.

The spectral figure appears in only one of a series of three near-identical frames shot by Armao over 40 seconds. The camera angle had changed no more than 15 centimetres over the series of pictures, and the shutter had been set for a 2.5-second exposure because of the gathering dark.

Armao saw the unexplained apparition when he checked the frames a few seconds later.

He could offer no explanation, but he said the hair stood up on the back of his neck. When he showed Celal and me, we packed up and left the empty cemetery.

Armao, a Walkley-award-winning photographer of 25 years’ experience, said he had never seen anything remotely like the picture that appeared on his screen.

Hours of close and sceptical inspection of the frame, including extreme digital enlargement, comparison with other frames and lively discussion of a number of theories about shadows from the flower, tricks of the light and movement of the camera during the 2.5-second exposure offered no conclusive explanation.

It was simply a moment in a darkening graveyard, 99 years since Anzac soldiers stormed ashore at nearby Anzac Cove, captured by a closing shutter.

We offer it for your judgment. – SMH

South Korean customs finds  thousands of pills with powdered human baby flesh

Thousands of pills filled with powdered human flesh have been discovered by customs officials in South Korea, it was revealed today.

The capsules are in demand because they are viewed as being a medicinal ‘cure-all’.

The grim trade is being run from China where corrupt medical staff are said to be tipping off medical companies when babies are aborted or delivered still-born.

The tiny corpses are then bought, stored in household refrigerators in homes of those involved in the trade before they are removed and taken to clinics where they are placed in medical drying microwaves.

Once the skin is tinder dry, it is pummelled into powder and then processed into capsules along with herbs to disguise the true ingredients from health investigators and customs officers. Read more at Human Baby Flesh Pills

Apparition runs through stadium crowd

A video showing a strange shadow running through crowds of spectators at a stadium has gone viral.

The dark ‘figure’ can be seen moving from left to right across the stands, seemingly passing straight through several spectators who appear oblivious to anything being there.

The incident was recorded during Fox Sports coverage of a live football match between Bolivia’s “The Strongest” and Uruguay’s “Defensor Sporting”. Some observers claim to have also witnessed a second shadow towards the northern end of the stadium.

Bizarre collection for sale

Waddington’s, accustomed to selling antique furniture and fine art, will next week auction off quite a different collection:  hundreds of bizarre and troubling objects formerly belonging to the late local collector Billy Jamieson, including Polynesian war clubs, an electric chair, and an almost-life-size (and disturbingly realistic) 20th-century model of a human posterior for proctologists to practise on.

“It’s one of the most interesting and coherent collections to come through Toronto,” said Duncan McLean, president of Waddington’s and a good friend of Mr. Jamieson’s. “And there’ll never be another [like it].”

The sale could fetch as much as $230,000 in total, and is divided into two parts: a live auction, which takes place at the company’s King Street headquarters on Tuesday night, and an online auction running from Monday through Thursday.

Mr. Jamieson died three years ago, on his 57th birthday, at home in his 6,000-square-foot loft on Wellington Street West, surrounded by innumerable tribal objects and oddities. Visitors to the home-slash-showroom had included visiting celebrities, including Steven Tyler and Tim Burton, he said. When he died Mr. Jamieson was working on History Television’s Treasure Trader.

The series aired as a form of tribute after his death.

Asked by the Post in 2007 why he collected tangible remnants of war, torture and exploitation — including human body parts — he said: “They tell an interesting story about our species. Some folks collect cards or porcelain dolls. I’m fascinated by the macabre. And my search for oddities and curiosities takes me to the ends of the Earth.”

Jessica Phillips, the collector’s surviving fiancée, said Mr. Jamieson understood that collections get broken up and scattered across the Earth one day, and was not necessarily sentimental about each artefact.

The collection is a sort of biography of him, she said, noting, “You have to understand that you’re going to die if you’re going to live well. He lived more in his years than 20 people could in a thousand years.”

After drying some tears, she added: “I’m excited about the butt in the box. I want to see what it goes for.”

Because laws about selling human remains can be unclear, the auction does not include Mr. Jamieson’s signature shrunken heads and most other body parts. (Teeth are an exception for some reason, Mr. McLean shrugged.) And buyers should consult legal advice before taking any purchases out of Canada if they contain certain animal parts, such as ivory.

Waddington’s has received a number of inquiries from abroad from interested potential bidders, as well as collectors closer to home.
“People want a piece of Billy,” Mr. McLean said. “They want a souvenir of him.”

The auction takes place Tuesday, April 29 at 7 p.m., 275 King St. E., on the second floor. Previews open to public Saturday through Monday. – NationalPost

Building A Stable Wormhole With The Help Of Dark Aliens

(Before It's News)

Dark energy just opened a can of wormholes. An extension of Einstein's gravity may explain this strange force and give us stable wormholes to navigate quickly through the cosmos – but there is a catch.

Building one of these cosmic shortcuts would require talking with aliens made of exotic matter, who can only send us messages via space-time ripples called gravitational waves.

The universe is expanding at ever-increasing speeds, and the prevailing theory is that a mysterious force called dark energy is driving it. But Manuel Hohmann at the University of Tartu in Estonia has been working on an alternative called multimetric gravity, which involves copies of the standard model of particle physics that each have slightly different properties.

Particle menagerie

Particles within a copy interact with each other as usual to build matter. But those from different copies would only interact via gravity, rather like dark matter, the invisible substance thought to make up about 80 per cent of all matter in the universe. The difference is that two particles made of different kinds of multimetric matter would repel rather than attract each other.

Galaxies made from dark multimetric matter could exist in the huge cosmic voids between regular galaxies, says Hohmann. Such structures would repel our galaxies and so could be contributing to what we perceive as dark energy.

The theory could also generate wormholes, says Hohmann. Most schemes to make stable wormholes require matter with negative energy – something we have never seen. But if a wormhole is built with equal amounts of regular and repulsive matter, that would hold it open.

To build such a wormhole, civilisations made from each type of matter would need to cooperate, and they could only talk via gravitational waves.

Galactic smudge

"Each civilisation would have to be able to manipulate a whole solar system to generate these waves, then they would need a working wave detector to hear this communication," says Hohmann. In other words, don't expect construction to start any time soon.

"From the purely mathematical point of view, it is clever and quite elegant," says Aurélien Barrau at the University of Grenoble-Alpes in France. "But it is far from being convincing from the physical viewpoint." The theory of multimetric gravity is a highly speculative extension of general relativity, says Barrau. And even if the theory is correct, actually constructing a wormhole would require what he describes as a miraculous situation.

Hohmann accepts this scenario has its difficulties. But if dark galaxies are out there, he thinks we can find them. Normal, massive galaxies warp space-time in a way that can focus light and enhance objects behind them, rather like a magnifying lens. A dark galaxy would defocus light due to its repulsive gravity, creating a faint smudge in the void we see where these galaxies might exist. Future telescopes may be able to spot such a smudge.

Filer’s Files #17 – 2014 – Cylinder UFOs - PART I

George A. Filer III New Jersey State Director MUFON Eastern Region Director www.nationalUFOcenter.com April 23, 2014 In special reports, this week’s files cover: Cylinder UFOs, Netherlands Disc, The Brazilian Air Force Directive for UFO Reporting, Is the Sun causing Headaches, Mysterious Ancient Sites, US, NATO Allies Cutting Back on Arms, and Ignored Waffle Rock. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington. Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and England in the United Kingdom.

The Filer Research Institute 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 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 and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Cylinders

There are reports of large cylinder-shaped objects all over the world. There are no wings or propellers for lift that indicates some type of propulsion that overcomes gravity. Many cylinder sightings were reported in the 1400-1500s in Germany and France in particular, with the theory that there was a war amongst alien cylinders and orbs.

At sunrise on the 14th April 1561, the citizens of Nuremberg beheld "A very frightful spectacle." The sky appeared to fill with cylindrical objects from which red, black, orange and blue white disks and globes emerged. Crosses and tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared whereupon the objects promptly "began to fight one another." This event is depicted in a famous 16th century woodcut by Hans Glaser.

“Tube” indicates that these objects are hollow or at least have space inside for humanoid beings whereas a “cylinder” could be fairly solid, perhaps the outer casing houses one big machine inside? Thanks to www.ufoevidence.org. On occasion a cylinder might be a misidentified aircraft but multiple witnesses claim they have viewed them close enough to discard this explanation, Perhaps they belong to one kind of UFO occupant while the huge orb, saucer, or triangle craft are the motherships of UFO occupants from other places or sources? Or at least these might be “interim ships” which are not as small as scout craft but not as large as motherships. Usually cylinder sightings report no windows and a 100 foot length similar to large aircraft. Presbyterian Minister Barry H. Downing writes, “I suggest UFOs have played an important role in the history of the world.  

Reverend Barry Downing in his book "The Bible and Flying Saucers" declares the messengers are here and that the Pillar of Fire and of Cloud are ancient descriptions of UFOs. He and other experts feel that when the Hebrew Scriptures are translated correctly, they describe cylinder or saucer shaped craft with a dome, that carry God's messengers, angels, or the Lord. The word most often used in the Old Testament for cloud is 'anan,' a word that describes anything that flies except birds and insects. The clouds or 'anan' are described as having attributes not normally associated with fluffy clouds such as flying towards the observer and landing, glowing at night, and carrying passengers.

Reverend Downing states, "During the exit of Israelites from Egypt they are guarded by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.' (Exodus 14:24). Sometimes the pillar of cloud is referred to as the "Lord" (Exodus 13:21; 14:24); other references seem to be "the angel of God" (Exodus 14:20), "the glory and brightness of the Lord appeared in the cloud" (Exodus 16:10), "I am coming to you in a thick cloud" (Exodus 19-9), "Mt Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in a fire" (Exodus 19:18). Obviously, normal clouds cannot carry passengers, so we can assume the Bible is referring to some type of flying craft that hovers in one spot for months. The descriptions often describes coming in the clouds. The power of the Lord met Moses and parted the Red Sea allowing the Israelites to escape from the Egyptian chariots. Later on the top of Mount Sinai God gave them the Laws of God, known as the Ten Commandments. They begin, because "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage," "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:2,3). These commandments provide a standard of behavior brought in a UFO by the Lord who came from Heaven, so that Earth can fulfill God's plan. God’s angels crush Pharaoh, making sport of Pharaoh’s chariots in the Red Sea. Not surprisingly, modern UFOs have made sport of our technology, and our advanced jet fighters. Why won’t American military leaders just announce that modern UFOs fly circles around our fighters? God is making sport of all the powers. Writing from a scientific perspective, Foster Morrison has said, “The only identifiable thing the UFO phenomenon is doing is discrediting the scientific and political establishments. UFOs are an attack on the scientific atheism of our culture. The God of the Bible is alive and well. UFOs are also an attack on blind religious faith. Religious leaders are in for a shock. Not only are the angels of God alive and well, but they are scientifically very advanced. Thanks to Minister Barry H. Downing.

UFOs are often spotted southeast of Tacoma, Washington on the Yakama Indian Reservation. There is intense UFO activity within Toppenish Ridge area that is 40 miles wide and 70 miles long. It is an area of canyons and heavily forested regions. The valley is essentially closed to the public and special permits are required to enter. Forestry personnel have seen UFOs and have heard unusual sounds for years coming from deep underground. Within the dark, restricted canyons, 'glows' have been seen. Washington has the second highest number of UFO reports only following California. This area is not accessible by foot or vehicle. Located in southwestern Washington State reservation is 1,130,000 acres that is home to the Yakama Indian Nation. The reservation was granted to the Yakama in a treaty signed in 1855 by Governor Isaac Stevens of the Washington Territory and representatives of the Indian tribes.

Although the treaty called for a period of two years to allow the various tribes to migrate to and resettle on their new reservations, Gov. Stevens declared Indian lands open for white settlers a mere twelve days after the treaty was signed. A Yakama chief, Kamiakin called upon the tribes that had been duped to forcefully oppose this declaration. Things moved quickly and a series of raids, counter raids and reciprocal atrocities began. This uprising became known as the Yakama War that continued until 1859. The Yakama accepted their reservation and still dwell there today.

The Yakama Nation covering almost a third of Washington is about 6,300 strong with a flag that shows their sacred Mount Adams, and an eagle with its wings spread. Above the eagle is the "morning star."

Low-flying silver cigar-shaped craft have been seen to disappear into the deep canyon known as the Middle Fork of Toppenish Creek. The Indians and others report lights and UFOs of both cylinder and disc shape.

Northfield -- On April 20, 2014, two witnesses spotted a cigar shaped UFO flying south to north not far from the Atlantic Ocean. The craft was at around 5000 feet altitude flying at about 100 mph. There were no wings, windows or appendages of the craft that had blunt ends similar to a cigarette. The witness is a pilot with 30 years aviation experience. Thanks to Bill. Photo was sent by Nancy Talbot.

Netherlands Disc

 Rijnmond -- TV News in the Netherlands is reporting on an interesting UFO video captured by a man in the town of Maassluis. The object appears to be a large lens-shaped blue object and has no apparent means of propulsion. Maassluis is a few miles south of The Hague, in an area surrounding Rotterdam called the Rijnmond. The UFO video was captured by Maassluis resident Dick Smits at 3 PM, on April 11, 2014. According to Rijnmond TV video clip at http://youtu.be/SvIMowIalsQ a UFO was captured. Because the clip is in Dutch Nancy Talbot asked Robbert van den Broeke (http://www.robbertvandenbroeke.nl/home) if he would translate what Mr. Smits was saying. Essentially, Mr. Smits (whose brother is sitting with him during the interview) is telling a local reporter that he was in his apartment videotaping a boat in the canal below around 3 PM, when he noticed something in the sky which he thought was strange—a blue object which hung motionless in the sky for about 15 minutes, and then disappeared. When the reporter asks Mr. Smits if he thinks the object could be a UFO, Smits replies that he "doesn’t know what the object is," but thinks it is possible that it is a UFO: “yes, when you realize how many other planets there are in the universe, there must be life elsewhere.” Thanks to Nancy Talbott BLT Research Team Inc. http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert.php The Brazilian Air Force Directive for UFO Reporting Wouldn't it be nice if the US and other governments would adopt a policy on UFOs similar to that just initiated by the military in Brazil? Actually, the Brazilian Air Force is the agency with new regulations on UFOs. There is now a definitive procedure for air force pilots to follow when they see an unidentified flying object.

They must post a report in the Aviation Command books, which shall in turn, register the report with the National Archives. Although there are currently no "official" UFO reports in Brazil, there have been a number of excellent cases logged and maintained by private UFO groups. These groups will have full access to the National Archive UFO reports. This is great news, but there is still one question that needs to be answered. Even though the reporting avenue is wide open, will the pilots use it? How much is involved for them to make a UFO report? And how will they treated when they do? I often think about the scene in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," in which an airport radar tower is depicted. A pilot reports that he is seeing a UFO. Soon, the UFO zooms very close to the plane in question. The relieved pilot is asked by the radio control tower employee, "Do you want to report a UFO?" The pilot replies, "No, I don't want to report one of those." Why not? Well, for one thing there is the old stigma that if you report a UFO, you're a nut, even if you are a pilot you may be fired or lose a promotion. And then there are the warnings. Let's hope that if any of the Brazilian pilots see a UFO that they don't have to go through what an American pilot would, and are able to easily get their report on record.

Is the Sun causing Headaches

Over the last several weeks, have you felt tired, fatigued, or headache or body-ache? Have you experienced bouts of mild or severe depression, anxiety, or mood swings? A period of intense solar activity is expected, and coincides with the presence of an unusually large hole in Earth’s geomagnetic shield. Mitch Battros says he took special interest in the nature of charged particles from the sun and its affect on humans. My research evolved into uncovering substantial documentation of magnetic flux application to the human brain. A recent study published in the science journal 'Nature', indicates a direct connection between the acceleration of charged particles and its affect on humans. Charged particles come in many forms such as solar flares, CMEs (coronal mass), coronal holes, filament, gamma ray burst, and galactic cosmic rays. During times of an active cycle, large amounts of radiation race at the speed of light hitting the Earth's magnetic field. Usually, the magnetic field deflects the vast majority of particles keeping the Earth and its inhabitants safe. But what happens when the magnetic field weakens ? Scientific research tells us many animals can sense the Earth's magnetic field. Animals and humans have a magnetic field which surrounds them - very similar to the magnetic field which surrounds the Earth as its protector. Relates to humans (and various animals) charged particles from the Sun and our Milky Way.

A recent study published in the science journal 'Nature', indicates a direct connection between the acceleration of charged particles and its affect on humans. Charged particles come in many forms such as solar flares, CMEs (coronal mass), coronal holes, filament, gamma ray burst, and galactic cosmic rays. University of Massachusetts Medical School suggests humans may be genetically pre-disposed to the influence of geomagnetic flux as it relates to the Earth's magnetic field and charged particles. For migratory birds and sea turtles, the ability to sense the Earth's magnetic field is crucial to navigating the long-distance voyages during migration. Research published in Nature Communications this week by the Medical School shows that a protein expressed in the human retina can sense magnetic fields, reopening an area of sensory biology in humans for further exploration. Scientific evidence indicates geomagnetic fields have an influence on the light sensitivity of the human visual system. Dirty electricity and EMF could be making you sick. Electro smog may be causing your headache?

Mysterious Ancient Sites

Gary Evans discussed the evidence for unusual properties, such as transformative acoustical effects, and stargates. Our pineal gland, which regulates melatonin production and the circadian 24-hour rhythm, is sensitive to magnetic fields. The independent researcher and leader of tours to locations of ancient mysteries and civilizations claims they can cause confusion or emotional disturbances.

At a megalithic site not far from Stonehenge called the Devil's Den (see related photos), which is composed of sandstone blocks, there's a head-shaped hole at the capstone. When you place your head in the enclosure and begin to chat or intone, it vibrates the huge crystalline stone, which can induce positive mental or spiritual effects, as well as potent insight.

A related site in Peru called the Doorway of Amaru Muru is one of the most powerful places he's visited, said Evans, who meditated at the location. Special acoustic tones are said to activate the Doorway and turn it into a stargate, he noted. Based on his own personal experiences inside the chambers of the Great Pyramid at Giza, and other pyramids, he's found they also have acoustic properties that produce spiritually enhancing qualities. Evans suggests that in ancient times, the pyramids may have generated a huge resonating field, or something connected with water.

Last week I had dinner with Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D. shared updates on pyramids, geomagnetic effects, and his latest travels in Indonesia, where he visited the megalithic site

of Gunung Padang (above). He believes the step pyramid-like site dates back to the last Ice Age-- 12,000 years ago, and its builders, an advanced civilization, could have inhabited the area as far back as 20,000 years. They built the structure out of basaltic stone blocks, which have electrical/acoustical properties. Schoch has concluded there were major cataclysms at the end of the last Ice Age, and that some of the megalithic structures may have been built to serve some type of protective function. Pyramids appear designed as fortresses to protect from attack from flying missiles or meteorites. Note: I told Robert some rocks seem to have piezoelectric properties with high gauss readings indicating they have magnetic properties that may relate to UFO propulsion.

US, NATO Allies Cutting Back on Arms

The US and Europe were the only regions to cut defense spending last year, while several adversary nations topped the world charts, according to the most recent

Stockholm International Peace Research Institute fact sheet. "China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia—all made substantial increases, with Saudi Arabia leapfrogging the United Kingdom, Japan, and France to become the world's fourth largest military spender," Those three countries "have more than doubled their military expenditure since 2004," states the release. US defense spending, on the other hand, dropped by 7.8 percent in real terms in 2013, due to the drawdown in Iraq and Afghanistan. Russia is undertaking a massive military recapitalization with the goal of replacing "70 percent of equipment with 'modern' weapons by 2020," outspending the US as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product for the first time since 2003, states SIPRI. The Pentagon announced 70 legacy RSAF F-15s are undergoing refurbishment in the US, and Boeing is building an additional 84 upgraded F-15SA fighters for the Saudis.

The US military's technology advantage is slipping fast in many areas, and forecast research and development budgets hold little hope of restoring it, Pentagon acquisition, technology, and logistics chief Frank Kendall said last week. Speaking at a Center for New American Security event in Washington, DC, Kendall said, “DOD has "big problems" with R&D due to sequester cuts.”

R&D spending will be down in Fiscal 2014 and the Fiscal 2015 budget "is much worse than '14," he noted. Modernization and R&D are getting hit "disproportionately." because force structure and personnel can't be cut fast enough to meet mandated spending targets, he said. Having a technology lead is "not assured" unless the Pentagon pays to keep its edge, Kendall warned, and the longer budgets are held down, the more competitors will catch up. The US is only "several years ahead" of China and Russia's fifth-generation fighter projects, but he sees parity in ballistic and cruise missiles, where competitors are "doing quite well compared to us." Kendall said electronic warfare, "I think, is a close race right now," and while the US has a clear lead in submarines, "our space systems are vulnerable." Thanks to AFA.

Ignored Waffle Rock Still Baffles Onlookers

Brett Allen writes, “Even when out of place artifacts show up in our back yard, academia in the US seems bewilderingly stubborn to admit them for what they are…. Forbidden Archaeology.” In Mineral County, West Virginia, sits one such example. Despite the impressions of anyone who looks at this stunning piece of history,

the Waffle Rock Monolith is said by American science to be formed through a complex, but not so astounding, naturally occurring, waffle-like compression event rather than a carving. From interplanetary visitors, ancient civilizations, native cultures or just a plain damn hoax, it is obvious to anyone who sees this incredible example of mistaken science, that this is certainly no naturally occurring rock. Offered as an attraction for the public to pass, it seems somewhat insignificant and sadly overlooked, but stubborn science still sticks to its guns. However poorly loaded they may be. Critics ask, what geology only forms such a pattern on the rock’s surface, and not protruding or extruded anywhere else throughout the entire rock? The Waffle Rock boulder continues to draw local attention by amazed tourists, sunbathers and beach goers. Sadly, it and another piece are all that exists of the original Waffle Rock complex. Flooded by the Army Core of Engineers in 1930, when Jennings Randolph Lake was created by dam, it was not without a fight, It was said that some in the tiny town of Shaw, now buried beneath the lake’s waves, were far more worried about the loss of the Indian Rock formation, than the loss of their homes. Now vanished beneath the waves, the part of the original site that was lost was far more complex.

With its complex honeycomb-like pattern, an example of incredibly complicated geometry, still casts astounding implications on the abilities of the society that created it. But what’s left of the formation has been on display since 1985 and is able to be seen seven days a week at the West Virginia Overlook on Jennings Randolph Lake. Said to be discovered by Betty Webster Bishop, luckily a picture of the original rock as it once sat, does remain. It was determined after careful examination by the Army Corps of Engineers geologists, and other agencies, that the rock was a mere natural geological formation. As proof, it was noted that similarly patterned boulders were found on the east side of Tea Creek Mountain in Pocahontas County, West Virginia; which to this author say yeah, so?

I’m a proponent of ignored, and forbidden out of place artifacts, this fact in no way challenges the idea that that there were previously unknown civilizations once existing in North America. In fact, I believe it only strengthens that position, far better than some natural process creating such an intricate pattern. Obviously, this artifact hailed from a wide spread and well developed culture. Many other archaeological artifacts and sites have been discovered and most likely ignored. In response to her December 1984 letter to the editor on the importance of the artifact, a response appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, dated April 1985. A Col. Martin W. Walsh Jr. Corps of Engineers, Commander, Baltimore MD, responded that the process which formed the pattern was indeed natural, suggesting that sand deposited by ancient streams consolidated into sandstone layers with rock above and below, and was compressed into the large folds that now make up the pattern 250 to 300 million years ago, during the formation of the Appalachian mountain chain.

Aside from those usual scientific denials, a few scholars do suggest the pattern could be primitive script or Neolithic art by pre-Columbian peoples, although this does not conform to excepted archaeological theories of migration and culture, and thus no one has put their credentials and reputation on the line, despite the extraordinary implications. That in mind, few in the geological community have any interest in even examining the artifact. They instead choose to go instead with the ridiculous same idea that the same mechanisms that formed the rock, formed the Klerksdorp Spheres; another undeniable ancient artifact ignored by science; and instead cite a process like a perfect storm which resulted in the rare, but not unique, forms we see in the Waffle Rock patterning.

However, right in front of the eyes of those who refuse to examine it further, another piece of the Waffle Rock does sit at the entrance to the US Geological Survey Headquarters in Reston, Virginia! But their excuse to ignore it lies in the fact that there are similar formations in Oklahoma. To which I say yeah, So? It’s becoming more obvious that our ancient world was far more interconnected than science has ever admitted. Any examples that challenge accepted norms of science have had a very strange way of disappearing into obscurity. Thanks to Brett Allen

Filer’s Files #17 – 2014 – Cylinder UFOs - PART II

UFO Reports in the United States

Arizona Lights

Phoenix -- On Tuesday morning April 22nd 2014, I went into my backyard which faces north east to try and view the Lynids Meteor Shower at 1:24 AM. I was only out for a few minutes when some movement of very dim, orange lights in a triangle pattern drew my eye It seemed to flow smoothly through the sky. At first it looked like it had a solid black triangle base with 7 lights that was almost transparent, but there was definitely mass between the lights. Some lights started to disappear 10 seconds later and it was no longer a perfect triangle. It seemed to only be a few thousand feet high and moved very fast and disappeared Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Lights and Object

Belmon -- I was driving in San Carlos when a strange light was observed on January 19, 2013. It hovered in one spot. then it flew slowly and stopped. It went down in a diagonal and disappeared and popped up in another area then zipped off. I took pictures with my cell phone and I blew up pictures and I was amazed at what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Llano – Above the ridgeline in the background an object shows up in my photo on April 19, 2014, at 4 PM. I didn’t notice until looking at the photo. There was no sound. Note: The photo was taken at low resolution so enlargement doesn’t reveal much detail. The object could be a bird. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Florida Winter Garden

Winter Garden -- I was walking from my car to my front door but before i went inside i stop took a couple of pictures of the sun. It was like a cloud or corona around it Maybe it was a rainbow. After looking at the pictures, there was a light that looked that it didn’t belong there. The light moves around in different shots, but may be lens flare. Thanks to MUFON CMS

–

Port St. Lucie – On April 15, 2014, I saw a light moving at a very high frequency. I did video the light as I was awaiting the coming of the Eclipse Blood Moon. After the object stopped moving I begin to snap pictures all from my camera phone. I was surprised to see faces in the pictures and to see a UFO! Please see on YouTube. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Illinois Orb

Crystal Lake -- On March 9, 2014, I was trying out my GoPro Hero2 camera as a dash-cam while returning home from a friend’s house. The camera was placed unsecured on the center of the dashboard of my Ford Fusion. I filmed until the camera stopped by itself two minutes after the object appeared. I first noticed the object upon viewing the video. It was a very large object moving very fast at a very high altitude. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mississippi Lights

Tupelo -- My boyfriend and I were on the trampoline in my back yard enjoying the nice weather and looking at the stars on April 20, 2014. I noticed something moving that was very dim and was a gray circle with three dimly lit greenish lights, I asked my boyfriend if he saw it but he did not. There were two others a distance away with one light out. They were perfectly lined up with one another flying same speed. It was moving at a steady pace and the trees blocked my vision. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nevada Greenish Blue Light

Las Vegas – The witness at 8:22 PM who lives on the extreme west side of Las Vegas saw what he thought was a low flying airplane with very bright lights over Centennial Hills in North Las Vegas on April 16, 2014. It reversed directions instantly and flew all over the northwestern sky, up, down, maneuvering, blinking a greenish blue and red but mostly the greenish blue. The witness shot a video with his Galaxy S4 phone. This all appeared to occur over and near Nellis Air Force Base which is about 20 miles from my home but once I posted the video on YouTube someone else commented that they observed the object much closer. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Orb

Bricktown -- We observed an amber orb flying over Ocean County on April 16, 2014. The object dropped two small amber orbs that disappeared within two seconds. I filmed with my iPhone after safely pulling over.

Earlier in evening a large triangle shaped craft was seen over Ocean Grove 15 miles north that made a U turn. Thanks to MUFON CMS Newark --This was taken at Newark Airport between the United hangars earlier this year. It was forwarded to me. I can't tell what these strange V shaped lights are. The mechanic who took the photograph and sent it was amazed by it. Thanks to Steve C.

North Carolina thirty years experience in the Cross

West End – I was home visiting my parents on April 16, 2014, and they told me to come upstairs to view this weird object. I looked out the window and saw a bright object at 5:30 AM. Using my binoculars I saw a cross shaped object that had a central light with three lights in each direction to form a cross. My parents said it shows up around 5:30 and goes away around day break. I saw this object again this morning and wanted to report it. This object headed towards Fort Bragg. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Orb

On April 20, 2014, I was outside looking at the sky watching an aircraft making chem- trails. There was a huge cross along with other chemtrails. The aircraft was making a second pass over one chemtrail that was part of the cross. I took some pictures to make sure I was getting the aircraft and chemtrails. When I looked at my photos I saw what I consider a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Lights

Fairless Hills -- I am a truck driver and while driving on Highway 76 eastbound I noticed a bright white light on April 23, 2012. It appeared to be stationary so I grabbed my phone and took these pictures. I lost sight because I had to keep my eyes on the road. When I checked my photos I couldn't believe I caught what looks like UFOs exiting a portal. The picture is 100 percent real and was taken with my Cricket Android phone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Orbs

Odessa -- I was driving south on Highway 385 from Odessa toward Crane when I noticed a funny looking cloud or vapor trail so I took a picture with my phone. Months later I was looking at pictures and zoomed in to see two shiny metallic objects with a black dot on each craft. I did not see the crafts at the time I took the photo.

Kileen -- I had just gotten off work at 4 PM and 10 minutes later I arrived home and looked at the pretty clouds and took a few pictures. Later my wife pointed out a glowing object in three pictures. I sent them to a local news station and talked to Stanton Friedman who suggested I send them to you. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Blue

Melbourne City -- These pictures were taken when my 11 year old son and I were on the 84th floor of the Eureka Sky Deck on July 12, 2013.

In the 1st picture a strange blue disc shaped object appeared and looked to be flying at great speed toward the city. It appeared to stall then shot up thru the clouds in less than a second. Its speed at many thousands of km per hour as it streaked up thru the cloud cover.

There were multiple witnesses and we saw unbelievable aerial maneuvering capabilities. It then shot up at massive speed instantly. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Grey Ship

Victoria, British Columbia -- I was driving along Craig flower Road towards Langford where I saw this big grey ship in the sky above a golf course at 9:30 AM on March 28th 2014. When I drove around towards it the huge craft was gone, it was about the size of a Boeing 747. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Campbell River -- My girlfriend and I were sitting in my car by the ocean watching the lunar eclipse and we noticed two bright objects above the moon slowly moving on April 14, 2014. The moon was a red orb object above the larger yellowish one. They appeared to be moving toward the moon in unison. I said out loud, "What are those?" and my girlfriend said, "I don't know....weird." The objects "drifted" closer to the moon, the largest one was now parallel with the moon. They began to descend below the moon and then I switched the camera to video and they vanished. The larger "object" appears to be pulsating or spinning. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ireland Lights

Dublin -- I was standing outside my home having a cigarette when I saw an object like a huge star moving erratically towards me then changing trajectory and heading of north before disappearing on April 12, 2014. I had my phone and took a video and it takes 5-10 seconds until the object is visible. Orbs of various colors blink on and off. There was no noise, but I watched later, you can hear noises like the object is interfering with my cell phone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Zealand Sightings

Richard L Pinfold writes, “Hi from South Pacific Research (SPR) we have been seeing UFOs here and groups or “Points of lights" that are usually very slow moving and Star-Like". These range in color from orange/red, to silver/white. We at SPR, monitor everything optically and electronically in our "AREA “within a radius of 500 nautical miles around our location, roughly from the middle of our country. Of course, the greater the altitude of the target, the greater the range of "Capture" detected. We have within the last year, detected very high "Over flights" of high speed craft that maybe advanced Drones, from Australia. We monitor their ADSB & TCAS signature transmissions. They’re on missions to somewhere but that is not our business...On the subject of the groups of "Lights" first-mentioned:

Last year, Mr. Google launched high altitude balloons here and worldwide masses of them!...We have recently learned by our own discovery, that these can be seen in the sky, usually presenting with varying colors, according to the time of day, from sunset or sunrise. They are experimenting with internet direct balloon-based transmission.SPR simultaneously this week. We established a sighting here, with an ADSB/radio sonde-type ID fix, "Painting" with Speed (2.4 knots) at an altitude of 110,000 feet. They still have maintained their "Grouping". So folks, we may be able to eliminate a few "Unknowns". Regards to all from Richard L Pinfold, South Pacific Research (SPR), Otaki, Kapiti Coast, North Island, New Zealand. Thanks to Carole Hunter

Puerto Rico

Cabo Rojo Old Town -- The stationary object that I observed seemed to consist of four extraordinarily bright, white lights that seemed to fit together as part of a larger whole at 10:45 PM, on April 19, 2014. These component lights, in perfect geometric array, looked like four Tic-Tac candy pellets lined up side by side, thus making for an overall flat, rectangular unit like a window shade with a few flat slats or louvers. Unlike candy pellets, these four components did not project tubular volume; they appeared as very flat sources of bright light. The shorter sides of the rectangular array oriented east to west.

This object was visible as an intensely bright flash. It was a clean, pulse-like emission of light that did not scatter, as does starlight. The four lights flashed simultaneously only once, followed by a sharp, brief, pulse of neon blue. The geometric components and behavior of this object seemed to be mechanical or engineered. I am a professionally-trained observer with teaching credentials in Visual Perception. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Slovakia Sphere

Bratislava -- I was walking with my family and friends in the centre of Bratislava on April 21, 2014. I was looking at the sky, when I saw a sphere-shaped object at 3:00 PM and its shape was perfect. It certainly couldn't have been a star since it was about 800 meters above the ground! The object hovered and started moving and doing strange movements in the air. I was frightened and shocked because I had never seen something like that before. I was also curious because I continued watching it until it disappeared in the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

South Africa Half Moon

Northriding -- My friend and I were watching the Orion stars and we both noticed this object moving across the sky at a rapid speed on April 15, 2014 at 7:00 PM. The object’s shape was a half moon and was huge. Its wing span was from the top star of Orion’s belt to the bottom star at 30,000 feet altitude. This object moved from one end of the sky to the other in a matter of 20 seconds.

The object seemed to camouflage itself in the night sky and we could see through it, but it had some sort of structure to it. This object was really moving fast and was weird, like seeing something from a Star Trek cloaking devices. It was bigger than ten 747 planes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

United Kingdom/England/Octahedron

Whitstable, Kent -- I was walking along the seafront and noticed hovering over the Swale between Sheppey and Seasalter, four large bright orange fireball octahedron shaped UFO vehicles on April 6th 2014. These four objects seemed to be hovering 400 feet above ground level from 19.47 to 20.15 hours. As I watched the four UFO vehicles, the two nearest Seasalter began flying in unison towards the shoreline.

The other two UFO vehicles remained hovering over the Swale and flashed purple beams of laser light towards the other UFO vehicle. As this happened, both objects grew immensely bright in radiance and began flying in the direction of the Kentish Flats offshore wind farm that is located on the Thames Estuary. As they flew over the Thames Estuary, sparks of light seemed to stream behind them. These types of UFO vehicles are commonly seen in this geographic region of East Kent.

Dawlish Devon – I took this Photograph at Dawlish Devon, Lands End UK on Sunday 13 April 2014. I am astonished at the amount of UFO activity in Devon, UK.

IT HAPPENED OUTSIDE OF SOCORRO, NEW MEXICO: THE LONNIE ZAMORA INCIDENT by Norio Hayakawa .

This is definitely one case that still *fascinates* me, even after all these years. (exactly 50 years ago!!) It is not an exaggeration to say that this case is exactly what attracted to me to *New Mexico*and actually made me *come* to *New Mexico*. More...

PROVOCATIVE ISSUES OF THE UFO MYSTERY by Doc Vega.

In the late 1920’s German scientists were theorizing revolutionary developments in propulsion. Having originated RAM jet, Scram jet, and Pulse Jet engines, one such scientist named a space plane he envisioned that could briefly climb into orbit, accelerate to hyper-sonic velocity, and then re-enter the earth’s atmosphere to arrive in record time anywhere in the world, his “Silver Bird”. NASA has only recently engineered a space plane capable of such performance that is just now in the experimental stage. The question is who or what inspired these incredible technological advancements at such an early time in aviation history? More... Also read: EASTER - A TRULY PARANORMAL DATE IN HISTORY

A NEW HYPOTHESIS OF ETS AND THE AFTERLIFE by Alfred Lambremont Webre.

In an exclusive video interview published to YouTube on April 9, 2014, Yale Law School graduate Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd, discussed replicable prima facie evidence that led him to formulate what he describes as a new scientific hypothesis. Today marks the official launch date of his new book “The Dimensional Ecology of the Omniverse,” in which the former director of the proposed 1977 Carter White House extraterrestrial communication study at Stanford Research Institute highlights milestones from five years of research exploring exopolitics, parapsychology, reincarnation, extraterrestrial contact, the nature of the soul and more.

UFO SCEPTIC PHOTOGRAPHS UNUSAL CRAFT OVER CALOUNDRA AUSTRALIA by Dirk Vander Ploeg.

A COMMERCIAL pilot with more than 30 years' experience has been left scratching his head over mysterious lights he saw over Caloundra on Good Friday. The pilot, who does not want to be identified, said he had never seen anything through the cockpit window that compared to the experience. It has the self-confessed "world's greatest sceptic" questioning everything he believes about UFOs. More... Also read: BRITISH UFO RESEARCH ASSOCIATION INVESTIGATES UK SIGHTING

Michigan has its fair share of UFO sightings, but Ohio takes the cake

If you are a baby-boomer who grew up in Michigan, chances are good you remember a particular point in time when you were out in your backyard, peering into the night sky, searching for UFOs.

For one week in March of 1966, Michigan was awash with reports of UFO sightings. Scores of people called police to report suspicious items in the sky. Ultimately, the Air Force dismissed these sightings as nothing more than "swamp gas," causing then-Congressman Gerald Ford to fire off an indignant statement, declaring that people deserved a better explanation than something as laughable as "swamp gas."

Rudi Lindner is a professor of History and Astronomy at the University of Michigan. He teaches a class called "Discovery of the Universe" that includes the history of UFOs.

“Michigan, I would say is about average [in the number of UFO sightings],” said Lindner. “One of the difficulties is Michigan is the second cloudiest state in the union, so therefore there’s a selection effect.”

According to Lindner, Ohio is the leader in UFO reports, and even has the first report of a death related to alien action.

“For anybody who is associated with the University of Michigan, it is of course a little bit easier to accept the notion that aliens might have some special relationship to the state of Ohio and its people,” he said.

The problem with UFOs is that there are no observatories that search for them. The people who see them are not trained observers.

“One of the great difficulties you have is in figuring out the speed or the size of the object when you have no good way of measuring its distance, and that has always been the bane of reports of UFOs,” said Lindner.

University of Michigan graduate Morris Jessup has played a large part in UFO awareness. He wrote a book in the 1950s called “the Case for the UFO,” which sold well. He went on to write two more books, as well as appear on TV.

Jessup died in 1959 under mysterious circumstances. A question arose as to whether he died of natural causes, committed suicide, or was killed by government agencies. Looking for answers, a man named Gray Barker held séances to contact him.

“In a number of these séances, Jessup appeared, announced that he was not dead, he had been abducted by aliens, he was now living on the planet Venus, was very happy, and really didn’t want to say a lot more,” said Lindner.

“As a Michigan graduate, we not only have hundreds of thousands of Michigan graduates, members of the alumni association . . . but we also have an alumnus doing rather well on the planet Venus. So I say, take that, Harvard!”

According to John Mack’s research done at the Harvard Medical School, about one in 3,000 Americans claims to have been abducted by aliens. Put into perspective, the Michigan stadium seats about 109,000 people, so at the next big game there will be 33 abductees in attendance.

Recently, there have not been many UFO sightings in Michigan. Lindner believes that there is an ebb and flow to these reports. Until the reports increase, Lindner will continue to teach his class. And if given the opportunity, Lindner said he would board an alien spacecraft as long as they had cable.

UPDATE-   Het materiaal dat is aangespoeld op het meest zuidwestelijke puntje van Australië is niet van de verdwenen Boeing 777 van Malaysia Airlines. Dat hebben de Australische autoriteiten gezegd.

Martin Dolan van de Australische verkeersveiligheidsdienst vertelde ABC Radio dat gedetailleerde foto's van het puin, genomen door de politie, aantonen dat het niet om wrakstukken van de vermiste Boeing gaat.

De spullen waren aangespoeld in de buurt van de plaats Augusta, ongeveer 300 kilometer ten zuiden van Perth, in het zuidwesten van Australië. Het gaat om een stuk met metaal met klinknagels.

Met schepen en vliegtuigen is op zee gezocht naar sporen van de Boeing die op 8 maart verdween. Aan boord waren 239 mensen, onder wie een Nederlandse vrouw. Er is tot nu toe nog niks gevonden.

Woman Has Alien Encounter…Alien Turns Out To Be Her Deceased Brother!

(Before It's News)

For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com

Location: Near Kirovo-Chepetsk, Kirov region, Russia
Date: October 1982 Time: afternoonµ

A 58-year old woman was gather…ing mushrooms in a wooded clearing when she spotted a man wearing a hood that appeared to be also collecting mushrooms. She stood and stared at the figure as it suddenly stood up, threw back his hood and stared at the woman as she froze in horror, as she realized that she was staring at her ‘late brother’. However she was able to compose herself and spoke to her late ‘brother’, a conversation that lasted three or four minutes. Suddenly the figure of her brother told her, “I must go, do not look back”. However she looked back anyway and now a small cloud hung where until recently her something in the guise of her brother had stood. The cloud was poorly illuminated but suddenly it emitted a beam of pink light, as this happened she instinctively closed her eyes, the beam apparently struck her on the face. After the incident she suffered two days of headaches and was unable to sleep due to seeing flashes of light in front of her eyes. However after two days everything returned to normal.
   

Ancient Tunnel System Under The Giza Plateau Of Egypt

Entrance to the shaft at the back of the Sphinx

Many people have speculated that there are rooms or chambers under the Sphinx in Egypt, more specifically somewhere under the front paws. On our recent trip in April 2014 with the Khemit School we had the Sphinx enclosure area to ourselves, as in group of about 14, and this arrangement was made by the Khemit School at quite a high cost.

Stone covering the shaft entrance

As you can see in the photo taken during our recent trip, the stone covering the back entrance is larger and lighter coloured than that of the other stones…and is removable…

As the above concept drawing shows, there may in fact be a system of ancient pre-Dynastic shafts and tunnels under the Sphinx…

Rather than the shafts and possible chambers under the Spinx being “halls of records” or places where “golden tablets” are or were kept, it is far more likely that these were constructed, in the bedrock, by the ancient KMT culture that preceded the Pharaohs and had Lost Ancient High technology, and used to carry water.

Above is another entrance, one of many on the Giza Plateau which provides entrance to the ancient system of shafts and tunnels. And, according to author Stephen Mehler, the tunnel system is much more vast than simply being in the Giza area, but exists, to this day, from at least Abu Sir in the north, to Dashur (where the “Bent Pyramid” is to the south.)

The above photo, for example, shows a group of us travelling through a part of the tunnel system under the area of Saqqara recently. A video of this adventure is HERE.

We are very pleased that 3 experts from the Khemit School, as in author and guide Stephen Mehler, guide and stone carver Yousef Awyan, and metaphysical expert Patricia Awyan will be with us in Peru and Bolivia from September 15 to October 2 to look at the enigmatic stone sites of Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Puma Punku and much more. You can join us HERE

Or should you wish to come to Peru and Bolivia in late October 2014, we also have a major tour then; details HERE

Does the Lineage Of Giants Still Exist?

(Before It's News)

In the rainforests of the San Juan Province of Peru, giants are upon occasion viewed who are exceedingly tall, hunchbacked, red-haired, speaking an unknown dialect and carrying clubs.  People in a remote village report them from time to time with fear and reverence.

We could probably dismiss extraordinary stories, unless they align with legends and physical proof – then we have what I like to call the “Holy Trinity Of Cryptid Research” – prior legends, present-day reports, physical evidence.

We know Peruvian giants to be part of their legends, including a legend of them reaching the shores in ancient times in reed boats, raping the women, eating the men, and settling in to build water wells and claim the territory, only to be supposedly stricken by God with lightning bolts and thunder for sodomy and barbaric actions. These would all be local legends if giants with red hair weren't dug up in Peru with elongated skulls.

When added up together, you have a skeletal source for giants, legends to explain their presence in that same location, and even present-day accounts of seeing them in hidden recesses of rainforests in the area.

If you were a tribe of people that supposedly went “extinct” wouldn't you go into the woods and hide when the locals had attacked and tried to kill you off for your barbaric ways? Might some locals in remote areas upon occasion come across these clans?

The concept of giants being present today is an absolutely valid one and I would find it hard to NOT have giants today. We still are spitting out tribes in the Amazon we didn't know where there and large apes in the Congo that only locals had been talking about as eating jaguars and Max Planck Institute recently revealed to the world.

If you take a very sentient human being and place them in the woods for thousands of years, imagine their mastery.

Mt. Tattiva in Guadalcanal is said to have an entrance to this underground cavernous structure.  Gigantic footprints are still being found and in areas where locals have tried to build roadways and structures, heavy equipment has been moved. In fact, government officials were at a site and their truck got stuck in the mud. They left, came back and the truck was back on the road and footprints were estimated to be that of a 15-foot tall person!  Even a prime minister as a child was taken by his father to a burial cave where there was a 15-foot skeleton.

ARGENTINA

For decades the beast known as the “Ucumar” has been reported in the  forested areas to the south of the province, particularly in Rosario de  la Frontera, where numerous eyewitness accounts have been collected.

A rancher apparently killed a “cub” one, not knowing what it was. It had large green eyes, huge fang teeth, and finger, toes, and short black hair all over except its face.

For you enjoyment, MST3000 did a fantastic spoof of the most sexy and campy 1960s film “Village of the Giants”

Asteroidal Itch: Dumb Luck Or Divine Intervention?

(Before It's News)

A week ago, Christian televangelist John Hagee showed up on Fox News to tell us all about the blood red moon tetrad and how in no certain terms spelled our doom here on earth. Four blood red moons on the feasts of the Jews can get all sorts of Christians looking for signs and wonders indicating that the second coming is near and that the tribulation is about to begin.

So far, the blood red moon’s influence will carry into the end of April as the Cardinal Cross has formed; this is also an indicator of apocalyptic uproar, triggering natural disasters and other catastrophes on Earth.

Not to be outdone, televangelist and failed presidential candidate Pat Robertson spun a bit of doom of his own by stating that an asteroid – or has he puts it in his “folksy” prose, “a big ol’ hunk of space rock” – could be heading our way sometime next week.

“I don’t see anything else that fulfills the prophetic words of Jesus Christ other than an asteroid strike,” said Robertson on The 700 Club television broadcast last Monday. “There isn’t anything else that will cause the seas to roil, the skies to darken.”

Of course, in the same breath Robertson was plugging his book ‘The End of the Age,’ which asserts a meteor will destroy the Earth.

So far Robertson has not blamed that asteroid on the homosexual agenda or on the scores of people that worship Satan; however, I am told to give him time.

The sad thing about what Robertson is saying or predicting is that he may be on to something because of recent data that suggests a dangerous space event may occur.

While Robertson says that it may happen next week, astronauts, scientists and even the Council on Foreign relations are saying that there is a potential for the reality to transpire.

However, they are not saying next week or next year, in fact, they can’t say or predict anything and even claim that we have been pretty lucky that a devastating space event hasn’t happened due to new data that has been released.

A week prior to Earth Day, there was an announcement by the B612 Foundation that briefly had a number of blogs buzzing about possible nuclear tests that were happening all over the globe. There seemed to be a number of mysterious explosions that were being detected in various areas and they were being detected by the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization. This organization monitors the planet round the clock listening for the infrasound signature of nuclear detonations.

There were also small Earth tremors associated with these explosions and there was plenty of speculation that all of these explosions indicated that various countries were secretly testing nuclear bombs around the world.

According to a press briefing provided by the B612 Foundation, between the years of 2000 to 2013 the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization detected dozens of massive explosions in our atmosphere. Not a single one of those explosions detected were attributed to a nuclear detonation.

They were surprised when they found out that causes of the explosions were asteroid impacts.

Between the years 2000 and 2013 there were 26 reported asteroid impacts on Earth. Once again, these were direct hits to the planet and many of these impacts took place in remote areas of the earth, mostly in the oceans.

The impacts had the power that ranged anywhere from 1 to 600 kiloton explosions.

For comparison, the atomic bomb that exploded and destroyed Hiroshima in 1945 was only 15 kilotons.

Many of the other asteroids that were detected had exploded too high in the atmosphere to damage things too much on the ground. Those that made it through exploded in the ocean.

The atmospheric explosions that were detected were very powerful and caused the sky to hum or even ring in some areas. It is now becoming less rare for these events to happen now and, while any asteroid taking out a major city is still considered an event that happens once a century, the odds are increasing that a space rock could impact earth and cause damage and or death.

We don’t know when or where an asteroid will hit the planet and so according the strategy for predicting and preventing a massive mega-death event is purely “blind luck“.

As Wired writes: “The asteroid that exploded over Chelyabinsk in February 2013 exploded with an energy of around 500 kilotons. Despite having a mass of around 13,000 metric tonnes and measuring 20 metres in diameter, it entered the Earth’s atmosphere undetected.” When it exploded, it caused property damage and injured 1,200 people.

Now, just four days ago near the Arctic Circle, Russians detected another huge meteor that entered into the atmosphere and exploded near the region of Murmansk.

As Newsweek reports, “Footage from a dashboard camera in a car on a snow-lined road in the Murmansk region, north of the Arctic Circle, showed a bright ball streaking diagonally toward Earth, pulsating twice and disappearing behind a building. The time was 2:14 a.m. on Sunday (2214 GMT on Saturday).”

Meanwhile, the frequency of large fireball sightings has increased everywhere across this planet. Many of these fireballs have illuminated the night sky and, in some cases, have created a sort of ‘daylight effect’ because of the brightness.

The meteor that appeared over Chelyabinsk Russia last year was “30 times brighter than the sun“.

A 2013 scientific research paper called, ‘Chelyabinsk Airburst, Damage Assessment, Meteorite Recovery, and Characterization‘, reports:

“Out of the total 1,674 collected internet queries, 374 mention 452 body injuries or inconveniences…

Of those, 5.3% reported sunburn, 48% eyes hurt, and 2.9% felt retinal burns. Because of the shock wave, 6.4% reported a concussion or mental confusion, upset, or exhaustion as a result of excessive stress…

People found it painful to look at the bright fireball, but glancing away prevented lasting eye damage.”

Of 1,113 respondents to an internet survey who were outside at the time, 25 were sunburned (2.2%), 315 felt hot (28%) and 415 (37%) warm…

Mild sunburns were reported through out the survey area…”

After the Russian meteor was seen on February 14, 2013, a quick report was given and said that we would be seeing these types of events twice a decade. Now the new findings confirm that we will be seeing a lot more damaging space rocks entering our atmosphere including those that flash and explode in the atmosphere.

As we have realized by what happened with the Russian incident, there are as of yet space rocks that go unchecked that could do significant damage if they impact or explode above the Earth’s surface near populated areas.

It is a fact that over 300 objects intersect Earth’s orbital trajectory each year. They range in size from a soccer ball to the size of Manhattan. It is only a matter of time before we arrive at the wrong place at the wrong time.

After glancing at the Sentry Risk Table, maintained by the NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program. There are only a few potentially hazardous space rocks that rank on the Torino Scale of level 1 or higher. They are not scheduled or planned to get anywhere near us on a dangerous level until the 2030’s or even the 2040’s.

However, it doesn’t take a very large rock to ruin your day as the tables indicate that objects ranging from 5-10 meters wide impact Earth about once per year and deliver as much energy as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. They usually go unnoticed because most of Earth’s surface is uninhabited, and the energy is usually released high in Earth’s atmosphere.

Many of these so-called “space dangers” has raised concerns with groups like the Council on Foreign Relations. They’ve issued a report, seemingly in tandem with that Earth Day announcement, saying that it is critical to act now against the threat of extra-terrestrial dangers that could trigger wars or international crisis.

According to the CFR website, there needs to be an emergency meeting to discuss the space capabilities of many nations of the world and their ability to help in deterring a potentially dangerous space event.

According to the CFR’s ‘Dangerous Space Incidents: Contingency Planning Memorandum No. 21‘, “tactical warning indicators would suggest that a dangerous space event is forthcoming.”

However, there is no date suggested for the event, only that such a space event would trigger a worldwide crisis including a resource war.

Dangerous or potentially dangerous space events also include EMP or electromagnetic pulse detonations brought on by nuclear blasts in the atmosphere in the event of a war or attack.

According to the report issued by the Council on Foreign Relations:

“Tactical warning indicators tend to be more overt. They include significant changes in the alert status or operational readiness of military units associated with China, North Korea, or Iran’s missile or space programs; the unexpected announcement of the closure of airspace to civilian aircraft over the territory of previous space launches; or preparations for missile tests from satellite launching stations which are usually detectable days, if not weeks, in advance. Space launches from road-mobile missile units, although closely monitored, would likely occur with less warning, if any. Additional indicators include specific space-related warnings or rhetoric, or the declaration of an anti-satellite or ballistic missile defense test, although no warning would be issued. The 2007 Chinese ASAT test that destroyed an LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite was not preceded by any specific warnings.”

Furthermore, Contingency Planning Memorandum No. 21 also states:

“The United States has three primary national interests in preventing or mitigating the dangerous space contingencies detailed above, which would threaten U.S. or allied space assets and produce mass space debris, imperiling assured access to space.

Strategic warning indicators include statements of intention to interfere with or develop the capability to interfere with space operations of other powers during a crisis or wartime; evidence of such intent, including research and development or budget indicators, organizational changes, or intelligence collection; noticeably increased efforts to disrupt space communications using lasers or jammers against satellites or ground-based transmitters; or the sudden and unexplained launch of additional satellites into LEO, accompanied by an increase in aggressive or potentially hostile maneuvers.

Certain indicators are suggestive of potential military escalation or onset of conflict. These include a heightened diplomatic crisis involving the United States and China, North Korea, or Iran that could result in terrestrial military escalation and trigger a crisis-related interference in space; militarized tensions or direct conflict between one of the three countries and the United States, a U.S. treaty ally, or a non-U.S. ally with known space capabilities, such as India or Russia; or an internal power struggle among governing elites in China, North Korea, or Iran, prompting space activities intended to consolidate domestic power or stoke nationalism.”

The Council on Foreign Relations is now urging the United States China, North Korea, and Iran to mitigate or prevent dangerous space incidents and limit the multiplication of space debris that threaten space assets of all countries involved.

It is interesting to note that back when Ground Zero was investigating the possibility that space debris or perhaps an asteroid was responsible for downing Malaysian Flight MH370, a potentially dangerous fireball shower was seen all over eastern Asia at the time. There was also a study that was released and it indicated that more than 38 large debris objects have re-entered the atmosphere since the beginning of 2012.

In 2013, the Cayman Compass reported in their article, ‘Aircraft Face Hazard From Space Debris‘:

“Washington’s Federal Aviation Administration, the Office of Commercial Space Transportation and the US Department of Defence have developed aircraft vulnerability models, concluding that a fragment as small as 300 grams would prove “catastrophic” to aircraft, particularly if penetrating the fuselage or fuel tank.“

It seems that the attitude about the rarity of such events is changing and, while astronauts are giving us chilling findings about potentially hazardous near-earth objects, the CFR is confirming that the United States needs to leverage its influence to develop a foolproof contingency plan to prevent a space danger from occurring in the very near future.

The question is: Are we going to continue to rely on ‘blind luck’ to keep us safe?

Or are we looking towards divine intervention to prevent the extra-terrestrial threats that will soon present themselves?

Either one seems to be a worthless endeavor.

Fossil Researcher Baffled by Prehistoric Footprints

(Before It's News)

A fossil researcher says he knew the identity and location of almost all the dinosaur tracks in China, until he studied new prehistoric footprints in Panzhihua City of China’s southwestern Sichuan Province last month.

Xing Lida from the China University of Geosciences told Sichuan-based Huaxi Metropolitan Daily that the tracks do not appear to be dinosaur tracks, and he believes the reptilian track maker could be related to a prehistoric archosaur called the “hand beast.” 

He explained that these footprints reveal similar morphology to the hind prints of the hand beast, so named because of its five-fingered footprint, which resembles a human hand.

Xing is one of many researchers and scientists recently studying the footprints, which were discovered last year by Li Xuezhi, chair of the Panzhihua Photographic Association. 

The 210 million year-old footprints, located on a hill in Sichuan Province, were found in a gray-purple siltstone in a 100 square foot eroded area. The track site consists of more than 10 successive tracks, with the track size being approximately 18 inches long.

Li also did not believe the tracks were made by a dinosaur.

“The tracks look very different in shape from those shown in some dinosaur books. These strange fossils have a four-toe shape while dinosaurs frequently show a three-toe pattern—occasionally a five-toe shape,” he told the paper.

Hand Beast Comparison

The newly found footprints bear different toe impressions than the hand beast, which according to Xing was dominated by a nearly symmetrical toe arrangement from the second to the fourth toes, with the third longest and the fifth (outermost toe) stuck out the side.

The hand beast is generally attributed to a clade of archosaurs that first appeared in the Late Permian period (260 to 251 million years ago) and became known as the dominant animals on earth in the Triassic period (250 to 200 million years ago). 

Given the large size of the imprints, Xing said the hand beast could have reached a total length of more than five meters and most likely fed on modest-sized dinosaurs. 

Hand beast tracks were found at two locations in the Guanling Formation of Southwest China’s Guizhou Province in the early 1960s but were not correctly identified and adequately described until 40 years later. 

Xing cautions that it is still too early yet to conclusively attribute these recent tracks to a Triassic archosaur, as it is still just a hypothesis. 

“There are so many differences between the Sichuan tracks and the Guizhou tracks, that they have to be placed in two different groups of hand-beast-like vertebrates evolved from archosaurs,” Xing said.

He said it still remains uncertain whether this new reptile was actually hunting the smaller dinosaurs, which leaves even more puzzles unsolved. 

“That’s just what’s so fascinating about these footprints,” Xing said.
