Daily 2 Cents: Sasquatch at World Taxidermy Championship -- Living With Morgellons Disease -- Michael Jackson's Ghost Making the Rounds
Daily 2 Cents: Sasquatch at World Taxidermy Championship -- Living With Morgellons Disease -- Michael Jackson's Ghost Making the Rounds
Sasquatch Draws Curious Crowds at World Taxidermy Championship
Crowds have been gathering for a curious sight this week at the World Taxidermy and Fish Carving Competition in Springfield, Missouri. Standing over six feet tall and covered in thick fur, the lifelike replica of Sasquatch was created by taxidermist Ken Walker. Walker is a veteran champion of the competition’s Re-Creations category, which is for mounts created using parts that are not from the species being portrayed.
For his female sasquatch, Walker carved the body from hard foam, and then used the hide of a Scottish Highland cow for the skin and fur.
So why did a master taxidermist decide to craft such a controversial creature? In his article, journalist Wes Johnson writes:
A native of Canada, Walker said he saw something strange run across the road deep in the Alberta wilderness some 30 years ago and became fascinated with the legendary beast. Read more at Sasquatch Draws Curious Crowds at World Taxidermy Championship
A couple called 911 on Wednesday morning with a strange report. They had found an old and dusty casket on Pilling Street in Bushwick when they were trying to park their car.
The NYPD's 83rd Precinct searched Evergreen Cemetery, right near where the casket, covered in old, dried mud, had been found, and found no disturbed graves. PIX11 reached out to another cemetery nearby, Trinity, which also said that no graves had been disturbed on the premises. Officers tweeted out a photo of the casket yesterday, saying that "nobody knows" who did it, but they do know that it was definitely "not cool."
Inside the dilapidated coffin, which was determined to be around 25 years old, were a few human bones and some trash. The area where it was found is a popular spot to leave unwanted furniture and trash — categories of refuse that do not include "a coffin that was in use for decades by someone before it was displaced to a street in Brooklyn." - Someone Left a Very Old and Dusty Casket on the Street in Brooklyn
What It's Really Like...to Live with Morgellons Disease
According to a press release from the Charles E. Holman Foundation for Morgellons Disease, Morgellons is a multi-system infectious disease that presents itself in the form of severe fatigue, forgetfulness, memory loss and fibers in the skin that cause lesions.
Famed singer and songwriter Joni Mitchell, who is currently in the hospital, has stated in the past that she has struggled with the disease. "I have this weird, incurable disease that seems like it's from outer space," she told the Los Angeles Times. "Fibers in a variety of colors protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm: They cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable or mineral." The disease has long confused the medical community.
Her health scare has thrust Morgellons disease back into the spotlight. PEOPLE spoke with Cindy Casey-Holman, who's lived with Morgellons for over a decade and currently serves as the executive director of the Charles E. Holman Foundation, about what it’s really like to live with this disease. Here, she describes her own battle.
Michael Jackson fans are fond of saying his spirit lives on, but in some cases this is interpreted on a much deeper level. Although some see paranormal experiences as questionable, Michael Jackson’s own brother is convinced that he has had an experience of an otherworldly nature — and it involved Michael Jackson. Interestingly, this is not the first time Michael Jackson’s ghostly presence has been recorded.
Lately, the world has been enjoying seeing Michael Jackson honored in the form of a Moonwalking protester in Baltimore. However, the big news in England is that Tito Jackson has been in touch with Michael Jackson’s ghost.
In a May 1 interview with the Mirror U.K., they say Tito Jackson told them, “Michael Jackson’s spirit regularly visits his family – especially when they perform.”
Adding to that, Tito also says he looks to the spirit of Michael Jackson in times of trouble and stated, “I have had times when I silently talk to him. I’ll ask him a question. ‘What should I do?'”
Tito Jackson goes on to say about Michael Jackson, “All the time I feel his spirit, especially when I’m performing with the brothers on stage at a live performance. You can feel the spirit all the time, absolutely. It’s a happy feeling because Michael was a warm, happy, loving person. It’s a comforting feeling.”
Tito Jackson’s experience with Michael Jackson’s ghost is not the first time that the spirit of the King of Pop has been felt — or seen. In May 2014, a fan caught an image of Michael Jackson’s ghost above the head of a Michael Jackson impersonator.
The Daily Mail U.K. stated, “Reece Savva, 14, from Bromley, Kent, took three snaps of the Jackson tribute act as he waited in line for a signature. But when he got home and looked at the pictures he noticed what appears – sort of, if you squint – to be the ghost of the late entertainer hovering above his impersonator’s head in one of the frames.”
In 2013, the Cirque de Soleil also stated that they saw Michael Jackson’s ghost. They told the Mirror U.K. that the theater where they performed was haunted by Michael Jackson — and that makes a lot of sense, considering it is the Las Vegas Michael Jackson Theater. The theater show, ONE, was an attempt to bring fans closer to the departed Michael Jackson — and it worked!
The Mirror U.K. states that a director said, “His presence is definitely here.You close your eyes and he’s in the room. Hopefully he will be sitting here saying that is great.”
Another creator of the Michael Jackson ONE show said, “I have sensed from the very beginning at Michael has been with me all along. I am not just the story creator and director, but that I am the co director with Michael.”
The Michael Jackson ONE Director of Creation, Welby Altidor states that you should be careful what you call paranormal examples of Michael and says, “We never refer to Michael as a ghost. We refer to him as a presence.”
As far as personal accounts of Michael Jackson’s ghost go, the one with the most weight involved a lawsuit between AEG Live and the estate of Michael Jackson. During that time, testimony of Brenda Richie, ex-wife of Lionel Richie, was used. Brenda Richie claimed that Michael Jackson has visited her several times after his death.
In 2013, NME reported, “Randy Phillips, CEO of AEG Live, testified about talks had with the ghost of Jackson. Phillips said his friend Brenda Richie spoke to a medium or contacted Michael Jackson’s spirit herself. The ghost of the singer, who died in 2009, apparently said he ‘accidentally killed himself’.”
In other words, if you ever see or feel Michael Jackson’s presence, be careful what you say, because your words could be used in a court of law!
For those interested in seeing if Michael Jackson’s ghost appears around his family, the good news is that many of them perform year-round. Although Sony Records has an official website for Michael Jackson, news about Tito and his other musically-gifted family members can be found at the fansite, Jackson Source. For example, Tito Jackson will be likely be feeling Michael Jackson’s spirit when he releases a solo album on July 17 in London. - Michael Jackson’s Ghost Visits Tito? Not The First Sighting
The Placard of the Roswell Slides: The Final Curtain
The Placard of the Roswell Slides: The Final Curtain
Special Rush report from The Roswell Slides Research Group The Roswell Slides second biggest mystery was the content of the placard on the alleged alien body. Several statements were made about it, some contradictory:
The Roswell Slides and the Truth by Anthony Bragalia
This ‘placard’ is not very evident in the video grab image. However, it has been enlarged by experts and the writing, in red ink, is handwritten, not typed, as would be found in a biological display in a museum.
Tom Carey was interviewed about the Roswell Slides on the March 22, 2015 episode of Jaime Maussan’s Contacto on Tercer Milenio TV. Carey said that experts have been able to read some words on the placard on the case and that, “debunkers will be disappointed.”
Tom Carey and Don Schmitt were interviewed, of the show's expert presentations, Schmitt said:
This will be part of the event, part of the program in May, that all of these analytical reports, all of the analyses, all of the main experts as well as the photographic experts who examined- there’s a placard, very fuzzy, that can not be legibly read by the naked eye, yet we’ve had everyone from Dr. David Rudiak, to Studio MacBeth, even the Photo Interpretation Department of the Pentagon, as well as Adobe have all told us that it’s beyond the pale, that it cannot be read, it is totally up to interpretation.
So, we truly feel we have performed due diligence; we have done everything we can to substantiate and prove what is contained within these slides, whether it is something of a human malady or something truly extraordinary. https://youtu.be/fQyAVrFnTos?t=1h24m2s
During BeWitness, it was announced that despite the work of a number of experts, the placard could absolutely not be read.
The slide with the placard was visible, and the writing was evident, if unclear.
News coverage, claiming the placard could not be read,
"We couldn't make anything clearly out of the placard...several others, who did not have much luck." - Adam Dew
"Nobody could read anything decisively in the placard, unfortunately. I am sure people will make attempts to do this going forward..... " Adam Dew
He was right, and most of the placard has now been read.
A member of The Roswell Slides Research Team used a newly acquired source image of the placard seen in front of the body. By manipulating the commercial software, SmartDeblur, he managed to significantly clear up the blurred text. Other members offered suggestions and helped narrow down the actual words.
There is little doubt that this is the true and correct text.
The other 3 lines of the text are somewhat hard to read, some words more than others.
It seems to say something like:
MUMMIFIED BODY OF TWO YEAR OLD BOY
At the time of burial the body was clothed in a xxx-xxx cotton
shirt. Burial wrappings consisted of these small cotton blankets.
Loaned by the Mr. Xxxxxx, San Francisco, California
The entire effort only took hours, quite a difference from the claimed “years” of research that the Maussan camp claimed. Because the Slide hucksters haven’t released proper high resolution scans of the slides, our work was made more difficult. We could probably get clearer results from better images.
The mystery of the placard is solved, and so is the nature of the body in the case. A boy, from Earth. The question then, becomes, how was this not discovered by the experts examining the case in the years of investigation? More details and proper credits to follow in updates. The placard is just a part of the story. The Roswell Slides Research Group
"Buitenaardse hogepriester verborgen in Mona Lisa"
“Buitenaardse hogepriester verborgen in Mona Lisa”
Een paranormale website claimt de Da Vinci Code te hebben gekraakt. De mensen achter de site stellen ook een buitenaardse hogepriester in de Mona Lisa te hebben gevonden. Dat schrijven Britse media.
In een nieuwe video van de Paranormal Crucible wordt beweerd dat het wezen door de schilder is verborgen in een soort buitenaardse lijkwade van Turijn. “Veel theologen geloven dat Leonardo Da Vinci bewust geheime codes en subliminale boodschappen in zijn werken heeft verborgen,” klinkt het.
“Als dit waar is, kunnen we aannemen dat de Mona Lisa is gemaakt om belangrijke historische en religieuze feiten over de buitenaardse aanwezigheid en diens betrokkenheid bij de Rooms-katholieke Kerk te verbergen,” gaat de site verder.
Je zou onder meer gezichtskenmerken, een hoofdtooi, gewaad en de handen van de ‘hogepriester’ kunnen zien. Er wordt niet gezegd waarom de afbeelding in het schilderij verborgen zou zijn. Om het verborgen beeld zichtbaar te maken werden de kleuren van het kunstwerk op de computer bewerkt.
Sommigen zijn van mening dat Leonardo da Vinci zelf een alien was. Het is niet voor het eerst dat wordt gesuggereerd dat er verborgen codes en afbeeldingen in het schilderij verborgen zitten. In 2010 zeiden kunsthistorici dat ze kleine getallen en letters in de ogen van de geheimzinnige Mona Lisa hadden gevonden die mogelijk een code vormen.
Leden van het Italiaanse Comité voor Cultureel Erfgoed maakten bekend dat er lettertjes en cijfertjes tevoorschijn komen wanneer men hoge-resolutiebeelden van Mona Lisa’s ogen vergroot. “Met het blote oog kun je deze symbolen niet waarnemen, maar met een vergrootglas zijn ze er onmiskenbaar,” zei de voorzitter van het comité.
"Klimaatverandering is complot bedacht door de VN om nieuwe wereldorde te creëren"
“Klimaatverandering is complot bedacht door de VN om nieuwe wereldorde te creëren”
Klimaatverandering is een verzinsel dat door de Verenigde Naties wordt gebruikt om een nieuwe wereldorde te creëren. Het doel van dat complot is tot een ‘concentratie van de politieke macht’ te komen. Dat stelt één van de belangrijkste adviseurs van de Australische premier Tony Abbott.
“De opwarming van de aarde is een illusie,” schrijft Maurice Newman, voorzitter van de economische adviesraad van Abbott, in een opiniestuk dat door de krant The Australian werd gepubliceerd. “Het is een goed bewaard geheim, maar 95 procent van de klimaatmodellen die een verband tussen de CO2-uitstoot en de opwarming van de aarde moeten aantonen blijkt na twee decennia van stabiele temperaturen verkeerd te zijn.”
“Extreme weersomstandigheden werden gelinkt aan de opwarming van de aarde, maar dat houdt geen stand meer, aangezien hun frequentie en intensiteit afneemt,” beweert Newman. Hij beschuldigt de VN ervan het thema klimaatverandering te gebruiken om democratie opzij te schuiven ten voordele van communisme.
“Het gaat niet om feiten of logica, maar om de creatie van een nieuwe wereldorde onder controle van de VN,” luidt het verder in het artikel. “Die verzet zich tegen het kapitalisme en tegen de vrijheid en heeft van milieucatastrofisme een dagelijks onderwerp gemaakt om dat doel te bereiken.”
Newman publiceerde zijn stuk op het moment dat VN-klimaatonderhandelaar Christiana Figueres een bezoek aan Australië brengt. Vanwege de steenkoolindustrie is Australië het land met de grootste CO2-uitstoot ter wereld. De Australische minister van Milieu Greg Hunt heeft zich gedistantieerd van de uitlatingen van Newman.
New Book Claims US Presidents Know The Truth About Extraterrestrials
New Book Claims US Presidents Know The Truth About Extraterrestrials
A new book claims that all presidents since the war, have known about alien visits to Earth. When U.S. President Reagan said he had met extraterrestrials, most Americans assumed he was kidding. President Barack Obama said in March 2012 landing at Roswell, New Mexico that “I come in peace.” The site is famous for the alleged alien spaceship crash landing.
When asked about the recovered extraterrestrial bodies from the wreckage, he said, “If I told you I would have to kill you… we’re going to keep our secrets here.”
A new book “The Presidents and UFOs: A Secret History From FDR to Obama” (Amazon link) claims that US presidents, from Roosevelt to Obama, have known of evidence regarding extraterrestrial visitation on Earth, leaving spaceship debris, alien corpse, and resulting in thousands of UFO sightings.
Recently, a leaked memo written by US Army chief of staff general Gorge C Marshall to President D Roosevelt in March 1942 reveals that “Headquarters has come to the determination that the mystery airplanes are in fact not earthly and according to secret intelligence sources that are in all probability of interplanetary origin.”
In a reply, President Roosevelt urged the “finding of practical uses for the atomic secrets learned from the study of celestial devices.”
In another memo from Roosevelt, he wrote, “coming to grips with the reality that our planet isn’t the only one harboring intelligent life in the universe.” He continued “We’ll take every advantage of such wonders that have come to us.”
The authenticity of the memos has been fiercely debated. These memos are just part of multiple pieces of evidence uncovered by Larry Holcombe in his new book.
Holcombe, 71, stresses that UFOs exist, and alien life has visited Earth. He explained that evidence is enormous that no reasonable person can deny the existence of extraterrestrials.
Actresses Lucille Ball and Shirley MacLaine, who were in a party together with actor Reagan, claimed Reagan told them that a UFO initially blocked his road to the party. An alien eventually came up and told Reagan to leave acting and go into politics.
President Harry S Truman had allegedly formed the Majestic 12 in 1942, a committee of scientists and military who secretly cover up extraterrestrial activities.
Late in the Second World War Dwight D Eisenhower supposedly met with Winston Churchill to discuss a close encounter of RAF reconnaissance aircraft with a UFO near the English coastline.
President John F Kennedy demanded to hand him over the CIA’s secret files. President Bill Clinton has once said that he attempted to get UFO information that was withheld from him. President Richard Nixon reportedly authorized a UFO documentary to use secret video of an alien craft landing but was stopped by intelligence chiefs.
Triangle UFO filmed over El Paso, Texas 2-Apr-2015
Triangle UFO filmed over El Paso, Texas 2-Apr-2015
Here’s one UFO video that was recorded earlier last month. It’s showing a triangular-shaped formation of lights that were hovering in the sky above El Paso in Texas.
Given the controversial events that went down in Mexico just a few days ago, an important question needs to be asked: are we getting any closer to the truth of the Roswell Slides and what they show or don’t show? Well…maybe. Consider the following points, and consider them very carefully. You may think that I’m onto something or you may not. But, at least, be open-minded and check it out.
The Roswell Slides probably originated with Bernerd and Hilda Ray, who lived in Midland, Texas. Hilda was an attorney, while Bernerd was a geologist who had undeniable, provable links to the state of New Mexico (the site of the controversial Roswell affair of July 1947, of course).
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Geologists spend a lot of their time in caves, mines, and caverns. New Mexico is the state in which the famous Carlsbad Caverns National Park is located. Only a handful of miles from the Carlsbad Caverns is White’s City, the origins of which date back to the latter part of the 1920s. Up until a few years ago White’s City, New Mexico, was home to something called the Million Dollar Museum.
Although now closed, the Million Dollar Museum (which “existed early in White’s City’s history”) was the site of numerous oddities, including child-mummies, and various human and animal curios. The Million Dollar Museum even has a story attached to it of nothing less than…a dead alien (which was clearly a child, by the way, and not an E.T.). Check out this link for the story of the alien.
The label on the “non-alien body” reads: “No one is sure exactly when the museum acquired this artifact, but it does not appear to be human.” Like the Roswell Slides, many of the displays at the Million Dollar Museum had small placards that were hand-written. Sounds familiar??? (see this link).
Rather notably, the museum also held a number of preserved animal heads, including the head of the twelfth largest moose ever shot in Wyoming. As you may have seen in my previous article on the Roswell Slides, right behind the alleged alien body in the Roswell Slides is…the hair-covered head of an animal. Maybe not a moose, but I know you get my point.
Now, it’s very important to note that the so-called Roswell Slides do not show the same alleged alien body as that which is discussed in the YouTube link above. But, that scarcely matters, since the museum held dozens of mummies. So, with that in mind, consider what you are about to read as a potential scenario:
Bernerd and Hilda Ray
Decades ago, Bernerd and Hilda Ray visited the Carlsbad Caverns, specifically because of Bernerd’s work as a geologist, a person who spends significant time in caves and caverns. Before they headed home, the pair stopped off at the very nearby Million Dollar Museum in White’s City – where they photographed a few odd-looking items on display, including one of those child-mummies, and which showed one of the preserved animal heads directly behind it.
And, lo and behold, the whole thing – in a weird and strange fashion – has become part and parcel of the Roswell “crashed UFO” affair. Plus, the distance from Midland, Texas (where Bernerd and Hilda Ray lived) to the Million Dollar Museum in White’s City, New Mexico is only 163 miles.
Sure, this is simply a working hypothesis on my part. But the location (New Mexico), the issue of the Carlsbad Caves, Bernerd Ray’s links to the matter of caves, and the fact that just a few, short miles from the Carlsbad Caves stood a museum filled with certain things of a freak-show nature (including child-mummies and the heads of animals, no less – and which had hand-written, descriptive notes attached to them, too), should – at the absolute very least – encourage us to investigate this matter further. In fact, much further.
My recommendation: a deep search for any and all old photographs of the interior of the Million Dollar Museum in its early years. The town of White’s City was founded in the 1920s, by a man named Charlie White. He lectured in the museum, nearly every Friday night, until his death in 1962. Someone, somewhere, may have a few photos taken during those lectures. Just maybe, there is light at the end of the tunnel, finally, on the matter of the Roswell slides.

Harvard Scientists Say That There May Be An Ancient Earth Inside Earth
Harvard Scientists Say That There May Be An Ancient Earth Inside Earth
A team of Harvard scientists may have found an indication that a portion of an ancient Earth exists inside our planet’s mantle.
A study presented at the Goldschmidt conference in Sacramento, California, claims that the previously inexplicable isotope ratio from the depths of the Earth may be an “echo” of the ancient Earth that existed before the collision with another celestial body, which is estimated to have led to the formation of the Moon 4.5 billion years ago.
According to the authors of the study, the ratio may represent a signal from a material that existed prior to the moment of the collision.
Scientists of the Harvard University led by Associate Professor Sujoy Mukhopadhyay believe that only a portion of the Earth melted as a result of the collision, and that in the depths of our planet’s mantle there still exists a part of the ancient Earth.
Scientists have studied the isotope ratio of noble gases from the depths of the Earth’s mantle and compared it to the isotope ratio of the gases found closer to the surface. They found that the ratio of 3He to 22Ne from the surface layers of the mantle is much higher than the one of its deeper layers.
The analysis of the 129-Xenon and 130-Xenon ratio also confirms the hypothesis suggested by the researchers. Material which has been rendered to the surface from the deep mantle has a lower ratio than the one which is typically located near the surface.
Since the 129-Xenon is produced by the radioactive decay of 129-Iodine, these isotopes indicate that the ancient part of mantle was formed during the first 100 million years of the Earth’s evolution.
Scientists believe that this theory explains the differences between the isotope ratios of noble gases in different parts of the Earth.
As Professor Mukhopadhyay said: “The geochemistry indicates that there are differences between the noble gas isotope ratios in different parts of the Earth, and these need to be explained. The idea that a very disruptive collision of the Earth with another planet-sized body, the biggest event in Earth’s geological history, did not completely melt and homogenize the Earth challenges some of our notions on planet formation and the energetics of giant impacts. If the theory is proven correct, then we may be seeing echoes of the ancient Earth, from a time before the collision“.
Astronomers have spotted a dead star polluted with heavy elements, suggesting that the star recently chowed down on a water-laced asteroid.
The destructive process hints at how asteroids probably delivered water to Earth billions of years ago. But it also hints at how asteroids likely deliver water to exoplanets in other planetary systems.
"Our research has found that, rather than being unique, water-rich asteroids similar to those found in our solar system appear to be frequent," lead researcher Roberto Raddi from the University of Warwick, said in a statement. "Accordingly, many planets may have contained a volume of water, comparable to that contained in the Earth."
Astronomers once thought that white dwarfs — the Earth-size remnants of low-mass stars like our sun — were pristine. Their intense gravity should pull the heaviest elements down into their depths relatively quickly (thousands of years at most). "In old white dwarfs (hundreds of millions of years old), like the one we observed, one would not expect any heavy element to stay in their atmospheres for long," Raddi told Space.com in an email.
But when the team observed the white dwarf in question (known as SDSS J1242+5226), they saw that it was smothered in oxygen, magnesium, silicon, iron and other heavy elements. Even hydrogen was far more abundant than expected. These elements match what astronomers expect to see in a water-rich asteroid.
It’s likely that the asteroid passed close to the white dwarf, whose intense gravity shredded it into smaller particles. These particles then formed a disk around the dead star, and slowly rained down over time — polluting the star's surface with its elements. Because those elements are still expected to sink to the center of the star, the destructive event probably happened fairly recently, Raddi said.
The astronomers suspect that the asteroid was initially comparable in size to Ceres, the largest known asteroid in the solar system, Raddi said. And it likely contained enough water to fill 30 percent of the Earth's oceans.
The result sheds light on how asteroids can deliver water to stars and other orbiting bodies. Geologists don't think Earth's water has been here for too long. The moon-forming impact would have melted the Earth's crust and mantle, vaporizing any water. Instead, asteroids likely delivered water to Earth in the young solar system.
And this research shows that this process was not unique to our solar system. It's likely occurring throughout planetary systems in the galaxy, scientists said.
"Our work reinforces previous evidence that water-rich asteroids are commonin other planetary systems," Raddi said. "It also confirms that asteroids can deliver their constituents (rocks and ice) onto the surface of planets in the inner parts of the planetary systems orbiting other stars, likely within what is known as the habitable zone."
The team made their observations on the U.K.-owned William Herschel Telescope in the Canary Islands, Spain. The study was published today (May 7) in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Wherever possible there must be independent confirmation of the “facts.”
Encourage substantive debate on the evidence by knowledgeable proponents of all points of view.
Arguments from authority carry little weight — “authorities” have made mistakes in the past. They will do so again in the future. Perhaps a better way to say it is that in science there are no authorities; at most, there are experts.
Spin more than one hypothesis. If there’s something to be explained, think of all the different ways in which it could be explained. Then think of tests by which you might systematically disprove each of the alternatives. What survives, the hypothesis that resists disproof in this Darwinian selection among “multiple working hypotheses,” has a much better chance of being the right answer than if you had simply run with the first idea that caught your fancy.
Try not to get overly attached to a hypothesis just because it’s yours. It’s only a way station in the pursuit of knowledge. Ask yourself why you like the idea. Compare it fairly with the alternatives. See if you can find reasons for rejecting it. If you don’t, others will.
Quantify. If whatever it is you’re explaining has some measure, some numerical quantity attached to it, you’ll be much better able to discriminate among competing hypotheses. What is vague and qualitative is open to many explanations. Of course there are truths to be sought in the many qualitative issues we are obliged to confront, but finding them is more challenging.
If there’s a chain of argument, every link in the chain must work (including the premise) — not just most of them.
Occam’s Razor. This convenient rule-of-thumb urges us when faced with two hypotheses that explain the data equally well to choose the simpler.
Always ask whether the hypothesis can be, at least in principle, falsified. Propositions that are untestable, unfalsifiable are not worth much. Consider the grand idea that our Universe and everything in it is just an elementary particle — an electron, say — in a much bigger Cosmos. But if we can never acquire information from outside our Universe, is not the idea incapable of disproof? You must be able to check assertions out. Inveterate skeptics must be given the chance to follow your reasoning, to duplicate your experiments and see if they get the same result.

A new video, filmed back in August of 2013 has surfaced. The video shows a bright light descending down behind the mountain. The person who filmed this was standing at lake Øyungen, filming the light south-west.
We got in touch with some contacts we have at Røros Airport, which is close to where these lights are seen. They have seen this video and even though their logbooks do not go back as far as 2013, they said it was highly likely that this was an incoming plane, landing at Røros Airport. What we do know is that this is not a regular airliner, but it could be a small plane from several flight clubs, flight schools and forest fire management flying around in the area. We have tried to contact some of these clubs but so far, no answers. We cannot be 100% sure that it is an incoming airplane, but from the information we have gathered, that's what it looks like at the moment.
But what's interesting is the rapid flashes that was caught on camera during this video. These are often seen in Hessdalen and is very much a part of the mystery.
You can watch the video clip and a documentary made about Hessdalen at www.lysmovie.com

The mysterious "Gate of the Gods" at Hayu Marca, Peru
The mysterious "Gate of the Gods" at Hayu Marca, Peru
An ancient legend speaks of a mysterious door which is located in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca. This door, will open one day and welcome the creator gods of all mankind. These gods will return in their "Solar Ships" and all mankind will be in awe.
Strangely such a door seems to exist according researchers. Located near the mountainous region of Hayu Brand, 35 Km of the city of Puno in Peru, we find the mysterious "Gate of the Gods". Since immemorial time, this region has been revered by local natives who actually consider it as the "city of the gods" Even though a few structures have been discovered, researchers believe that there are numerous monuments hidden beneath the surface.
This "Gate" was discovered by accident when local tour guide Jose Luis Delgado Mamani was hiking in the surrounding area. Curiously Mamani stated that he had long before dreamed about this structure and saw what appeared to be a door covered with pink marble with several figures located to the sides. These visions are closely linked to the legends of the native Indians of the area that tell that this "door" was a "gateway to the land of the Gods". Legends speak that in the distant past, great heroes crossed into the land of the gods, enjoying a prosperous and glorious immortal life.
Another legend says that during the time of the Spanish conquest, an Incan priest called Amaru Muru, from the temple of the seven rays fled from his temple with a sacred golden disk known as "the key to the gods of the seven rays". The priest hid in the mountains of Hayu Brand afraid that the Spanish might take the key from him.
Later the priest arrived at the "Gate of the Gods" at Hayu Marca, where he showed the key to several priests and shamans of the area. After they performed a ritual, the door opened with a blue light emanating from it. The priest, Amaru Muru handed the golden disk to one of the shamans and entered the door, he was never seen again.
Mysteriously, researchers have found a circular depression to the side of the door where a smaller disk-shaped object could have been placed.
Visitors who have traveled to the "Gate of the Gods" at Hayu Marca, and who have placed their hands on the small door state that they feel a great energy that flows through their bodies, they have also described strange visions like stars, columns of fire and music which some described as being "rhythmic, unusual and extraordinary".
The "Gate of the Gods" at Hayu Marca resembles the Puerta del Sol de Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco) and five other archaeological sites in the vicinity. Mysteriously if we draw straight lines between the Gate of the Gods" at Hayu Marca, the Puerta del Sol de Tiwanaku and other archaeological sites, we get a strange cross that joins at the center at the plateau of Lake Titicaca, one of the most sacred places in the region.
The Gateway of the Sun from the Tiwanku civilization in Bolivia
Researchers have even found the remains of an ancient city beneath Lake Titicaca, presumed to have existed thousands of years ago, predating the known cultures of the region.
Is it possible that there are "portals" located on Earth which are connected to other galaxies? planets? dimensions? And that one of those portals is the "Gate of the Gods" at Hayu Marca? Is it possible that these ancient texts are more than just stories of the past? And that there is something true and unique about them? We look forward to finding out more about these mysterious locations and there hidden secrets.
The Great Pyramid of Koba - Another mystery of history
The Great Pyramid of Koba - Another mystery of history
We all know the number of pyramids that have been found worldwide. The Pyramid building phenomena apparently conquered out ancestor in the distant past who created all kinds of pyramids in all corners of the world. Perhaps the most famous of the pyramids around the world are those at the Giza plateau in Egypt. In the shadows of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and half way around the world we find the Great Pyramid of Koba.
This majestic construction is located in the jungle of Coba, Mexico and dates back to 500-900 AD. Since its construction, the pyramid has undergone numerous modifications, that have given the entire archaeological site a degree of mysticism. It is located about 90 kilometers east of Chichen Itza. The city was constructed around two lagoons. Among the numerous “temple pyramids”
Within the representative elements of the Mayan culture present in Coba, we can highlight some beautiful artifacts made of pottery that date back to the year 100 AD when this “ancient” city became the center of power in the north Yucatan.
If you still are unsure about the importance of this archaeological site here is something worth mentioning. First of all, the extension of ancient Coba was gigantic. The city consisted of about 80 square kilometers and had the capacity to accommodate at least 50 000 inhabitants. Curiously, just like other Mayan cities, Coba was lost in time and history just like its adjacent city of Chichen Itza.
Right in the middle of this ancient city you find one of the tallest pyramids built by the first inhabitants of the region, the majestic pyramid temple called Ixmoja. This incredible construction rises 42 into the air, and has 120 steps that lead to the top of the pyramid. With these dimensions, this pyramid is recognized as the highest structure found in the Yucatan Peninsula.
The structures at Coba are relatively well preserved thanks to the fact that this area is more isolated from society, so the structures of this majestic ancient city have less impact by modern day life whites helped in preserving its original, pre-hespanic look.
In its beginning, Coba was considered one of the most important ancient sites in the Yucatan Peninsula, proof of that is its Pyramid, holding the title as the tallest pyramid in the region. Coba declined in the year 1000 AD but re-emerged in the period between 1200 and 1500. The ancient city of Coba was completely uninhabited after the Spanish conquest, and it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that two explorers, named John Lloyd Sstephens and Frederick Catherwood mentioned it in historical books.
A thin line divides the meaning of God and Extraterrestrials: What do Ancient texts say?
A thin line divides the meaning of God and Extraterrestrials: What do Ancient texts say?
What are the definitions of "God" and those of an Alien? No one can say that these two terms cannot be combined or that a similar meaning does not defines them. God certainly is not from Earth, therefore is extraterrestrial: occurring or existing beyond the earth's atmosphere, a being from beyond the earth's atmosphere. It is not intended, since it is evidently not necessary, to spread the possibility that "Gods" have an extraterrestrial origin, and it does not involve in giving up a persons belief or principles. Some researchers even suggest that such possibility points to the contrary.
It is very likely that our civilization originated from another civilization that inhabited Earth much before history tells us. According to texts, "God" is a supernatural entity, creator of the universe with absolute power over it. Aliens can be defined as beings "strangers" to out Planet.
King Pakal; An image that has caused mixed feelings. Some suggest this ancient ruler is depicted i the interior of some sort of spacecraft
Today, we do not have ( or have seen) evidence of the existence of neither of those two aspects. We have ancient texts that mention both god and extraterrestrial beings but in different ways. It is up to the beliefs of each person where these aspects are divided or where they meet. But then again, our beliefs are a matter of faith, not evidence. Almost all religions speak of mysterious beings, messengers, gods, etc... even the Christian religion mentions the existence of creatures with the ability of flight. Usually, these gods or messengers were depicted with wings, although it is never clearly specified how these beings managed to fly.
Ancient Indian texts suggest that theories about flying beings and mysterious objects could actually turn out to be true. Religious theories state that a "God" or several "Gods" are responsible for the creation of life on planet Earth, these theories are reflected in ancient sacred texts such as the Bible, Popol Vuh and the Torah but even before these ancient texts, mysterious beings were described in ancient Egypt, Greece and other ancient civilizations around the globe. All of those stories speak of beings, who descended from the skies, to create mankind and civilization. Mysteriously, researchers have found evidence that these "sky beings" or "sky gods" came fro constellations such as the Pleiades, Orio or Sirius.
Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest that ancient gods mentioned in these sacred texts are in fact extraterrestrial beings with highly advanced technologies who were misinterpreted as "Gods" by ancient mankind.
Imagine if we traveled today to ancient Egypt 2000-3000 years ago, arriving in jet planes, helicopters, with our tablets, smartphones and laser weapons. How would ancient people in Egypt interpret our technology, would they consider us as ordinary humans? It would make us stand out from the rest, giving us a notion of power, simply because, ancient humans back then, would not recognize our technology, they would not understand it, thus, it is very likely that ancient people would categorize us as "Gods" who came in flying birds with wings, producing smoke, fire and extreme noise upon landing... Much like the descriptions of ancient gods in Mesoamerica and Asia, when feathered serpents or Dragons arrived from the stars, creating chaos and havoc upon landing.
Today, as science advances, theology isn't staying behind. The Catholic church for example, has releases a statement where they suggest that their beliefs do not go against astronomy and the possibility that there is life elsewhere in the universe. So we need to ask ourselves is it possible that some ancient texts that speak of gods and messengers from the heavens are actually misinterpretations that need to be re-analyzed and rethought? It might just turn out that we have missed, small details in history that could eventually answer many questions that are being raised both by religion, and science alike.
New images claiming to show the Roswell UFO crash provide 'undeniable' evidence of alien life - at least according to conspiracy theorists.
The images allegedly reveal the remains of an alien found dead in New Mexico, and were taken by Bernard Ray between 1947 and 1949 on a Kodachrome film.
Despite being widely dubbed as fakes, they have reignited theories that aliens have visited Roswell in a secret army hangar dubbed Area 51.

New images claiming to show the Roswell UFO crash provide 'undeniable' evidence of alien life, according to conspiracy theorists. Pictured is one of the images. Pictured is one of the slides claiming to show an alien
The discovery was announced this week to an audience of 10,000 people, following what UFO specialists say was an extensive five-year study to determine the authenticity of the slides.
Along with the announcement was the unveiling of a documentary, but the highly-anticpated slides themselves were still not revealed.
Several UFO researchers noticed that in the documentary trailer researchers are seen looking at one of the slides.
A number of people have zoomed in on this slide, changing its angle and producing a blurred image of a human-looking figure.

The original photos were found inside an attic in Arizona, in a box containing images of Bing Crosby, Clarke Gable and Dwight Eisenhower from before his term as president
The original photos were found inside an attic in Arizona, in a box containing images of Bing Crosby, Clarke Gable and Dwight Eisenhower from before his term as president.
According to Jaime Maussan, a widely recognised Mexican UFO specialist, the images must be real because the sketch of the extra-terrestrial image did not exist at the time the photo was taken.
'(These photos) show the human race, beyond any doubt, that extra-terrestrial visits are a reality,' Maussan said.
'That is why the presentation of two slides, two transparencies, where a being with non-human features can be seen, is very important.
'These photos were dated by experts during a period, where the model of the archetype extraterrestrial we know today did not exist.

Many have compared the images to previous photos of mummies from the Smithsonian. Pictured is a Roman child mummy (bottom) with opening ringed compared to 'Roswell slide' (top)
ROSWELL: CONSPIRACY CAPITAL
Roswell, New Mexico sprang to international fame on July 8, 1947, when the local newspaper reported the capture of a 'flying saucer' by government officials in the town.
Over the decades since the discovery, conspiracy theorists have insisted that the debris came from an alien spacecraft, and that the fact was covered up by the military in their secret hangar, Area 51.
The continuing belief of alien activity in the area led the Air Force to launch an investigation into the crash in 1995.
Officials concluded that the 'UFO' was part of a balloon launched into the atmosphere as part of a secret government surveillance programme aimed at the USSR.
However, many have refused to accept that explanation, alleging a conspiracy to hide the existence of extra-terrestrial life.
Edgar Mitchell, an astronaut who was the sixth person to land on the moon, attended the event and said he believed the images are authentic.
However, many claim the images are a publicity stunt as the unveiling event in Mexico cost $350 for entry.
Others have compared the images to previous photos of mummies from the Smithsonian
'There is already a considerable amount of cynicism and scepticism about these pictures,' Nigel Watson author of the UFO Investigations Manual told DailyMail.com.
It follows footage that emerged in February allegedly showing the body of an alien being handled by American soldiers during the 1940s.
New Zealand-based magazine, Uncensored, did a frame-by-frame analysis and said it proves 'there were aliens in Area 51'.
But Philip Mantle, the UFO expert who was involved with the release of the original Roswell films, said these latest images are nothing but 'utter b*******'.
It has since became apparent that the footage was taken from the film Alien Autopsy starring Ant and Dec, released back in 2006.
'As with the 'Alien Autopsy' hoax, the slides will eventually be proven to be a fraud, long after the distribution rights, licencing and other revenue streams are sold off or exhausted,' said Watson.

After reading a recent story on the Washington Post detailing a mysterious plane flying continuous circles over the Baltimore protests, I decided to check out the website Flight Radar's 'live flight tracker' myself to see if I could find anything 'interesting' and what I found in my research adds another unsolved mystery to internet lore...a strange spy plane is flying continuous passes over very remote West Virginia and Maryland mountains a few hours west of Washington DC. Is this spy plane 'remote sensing' the secret undergound doomsday bases known to be in these West Virginia mountains according to a trusted ANP source? For those who have a background in intelligence, the CIA or military, we'd love to know what your thoughts are.
Leaving BWI Airport in Baltimore at 6:14 pm on May 7th and proceeding to fly west until it arrived over the West Virginia/Maryland mountains, only to fly back and forth over the mountains, a huge power plant and an abandoned highway that reminds of the movie 'Road Warrior' for the next 4+ hours, N212AZ left a rather strange path as seen in the screenshots above and below, only to return to BWI at 11:22 pm after flying at approx. 17,500' over the mountains, power plant and an abandoned highway continuously for hours.
What makes this flight even more strange is that N212AZ, an ATR-42-320 turboprop plane, and its owner have been linked to the CIA and prisoner rendition overseas in the Netherlands back in 2004 according to this linked report and have been determined to be able to carry rather intricate remote sensing equipment and abilities.
Other CIA and private mercenary contractor planes that overflew Denmark (including Greenland) and are suspected of being CIA transports include:
An ATR-42-320 (N212AZ) registered to Kramer Investment Co. of Wilmington, Delaware and seen in Rotterdam on September 1, 2004.
This picture shows N212AZ.
Back in 2011, Airliners.net forum commenters pointed out some very strange flights being taken by ATR-42's, taking off from BWI and being gone for sometimes 6 or more hours, only to return to BWI without landing anywhere. The series of comments by airline forum members below makes us believe that a theory suggested by a trusted ANP source, that remote sensing is being done by these planes, is likely the reason for the strange patterns. What are they 'remote sensing'? The 1st video below tells us about what the elite in DC had hoped would stay a 'secret underground doomsday base' in the West Virginia mountains prior to it being exposed by the news and abandoned. Much more below next screenshot.
I came across this series of flights while tracking an inbound flight full of family. These ATR-42 flights (registered to "Jefferson Financial Co" out of Wilmington, DE) have ranged from 4 minutes to upwards of 6 hours in length and as far as I can see, begin and end at BWI. I know NOAA has been running P-3C flights over I-95 and the 695/495 beltways for a couple of weeks at about FL010 in order to collect pollution data. These appear to be some kind of test/calibration flights; does anyone have any insight? Today's flight track was pretty awesome.
I use to do NAV AID calibration with an ATR42, so maybe they are checking VOR, NBD, PAPI or ILS in that area, If you see looks like they are doing some kind of apps....
Some sort of navigation/calibration programme is going on at BWI. Large white "X"'s are appearing on the ground along some of the approach paths. Two of them are in my local area. I got the info from one of the guys installing the "X"'s, he said they were going to do flyovers at the X locations.
(WHY WOULD THEY BE FLYING FOR 6+ HOURS OVER MARYLAND AND DELAWARE IN THIS PATTERN IN 8/2011?)
This isn't the 1st time that N212AZ has been caught making unexplainable loops for hours upon hours upon hours as shown in the additional screenshots of past flights below over Maryland and Delaware. In the 2nd video below we learn more about the secretive spy planes over the recent Baltimore, Maryland area.
ANP would love to know what theories our readers have as to why these flights are taking place and what is so important about these areas that a very secretive government agency feels the need to constantly monitor what is going on below, especially knowing that 'down below' in these most recent flights over Maryland and West Virginia consists of largely unoccupied mountainous terrain and an abandoned highway construction project that looks like something out of 'Road Warrior' lore.
A story from several months ago told us that West Virginia authorities were on the lookout for ISIS in the poverty stricken state, is this part of that search? Our well-trusted source tells us that they are using remote sensing to scan the area that there are underground bunkers in the vicinity.
The 1st screenshot below is from January 22, 2015. This is over the Maryland/Delaware east coast.
Though much shorter flights, on April 22nd and April 23 N212AZ began scoping out the Maryland/West Virginia mountains.
They've been flying circles of the area May 4th, 6th and 7th with flights nearly 6 hours or more long. What do you think they're doing? What will today bring?
Was this spy plane remote sensor scanning underground bases such as this one in the West Virginia mountains?
Spy planes were over Baltimore keeping tabs on protesters and most likely tracking EVERYBODY there with their Stingray cell phone site simulator technology.
Roscosmos said the craft “ceased to exist” over the Pacific. The final time of reentry is 9:20 p.m. CDT (02:20 UTC), with an accuracy of plus or minus 1 minute.
UPDATE MAY 7, 2015 AT 11:45 P.M. CDT (May 8 at 4:45 UTC): The unpiloted Russian re-supply ship due to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere Thursday evening (according to U.S. clocks) appears to have done so. Roscosmos – the Russian space agency – both tweeted and said in an online update that the Progress 59P, also known as Progress M-27M, mission ended and the craft destroyed during a fiery plunge over the Pacific Ocean late Thursday. It probably looked somewhat like the artist’s visualization above, which was created by Analytical Graphics, Inc.
Earlier Thursday evening, there were reports from S. America of sightings of the descending spacecraft, as it lost altitude above Earth’s surface. For example, Kirovoleg wrote at an online space forum:
I`ve just watched it pass overhead on Buenos Aires, at first it was quite dim but then it got quite bright for a moment, then dim again and bright. I guess it is still tumbling and that is why it changed intensity.
The craft – carrying 6,000 pounds of food, fuel, and supplies for International Space Station – was declared lost when, shortly after its April 28 launch, it began spinning out of control.
Its reentry on May 7-8 was not controlled, which means the exact time and location were unknown in advance. But thanks to spacecraft technologies, computers and global community of space fans on the Internet, the craft was continuously tracked throughout the day Thursday prior to its final fall.
Progress M-27M now has only a few hours left at best, it is in it's last few orbits around the World. 2 to 6 hours from now it's toast.
Because over 70% of the surface of Earth is covered by water, there was always a high probability that the Progress 59 would reenter over an ocean. But the spacecraft’s orbital inclination also caused it to pass over land areas. The European Space Agency (ESA), which said it was “in close contact with Russian and U.S. authorities regarding the Progress M-27M / 59P mission situation,” said on April 30:
]… We cannot exclude the chance that some portion of (Progress 59) structure, for example the heavy docking mechanism or tanks and thrusters, could survive reentry to reach the surface.
The Progress 59 spacecraft was launched from Kazakhstan on April 28 and was heading to the International Space Station (ISS) with food, fuel and supplies. An unexpected incident occurred during the spacecraft separation, and video sent back by the spacecraft showed it was spinning out of control.
Russian officials declared on April 29 that they were unable to regain the spacecraft control. It was clear that the doomed spacecraft would return fall back into Earth’s atmosphere.
Progress is a series of unmanned cargo craft used to resupply the International Space Station.
What observers might have seen when the spacecraft re-entered. The Russian cargo spacecraft was expected to disintegrate around May 8, as soon as it entered the densest part of our atmosphere, about 70 – 75 miles (112-120 km) high.
A disintegrating spacecraft will look like a spectacular meteor, or fiery streak, across Earth’s sky. It might be visible in daytime. One way of identifying it as a possible manmade object, and not a natural meteor, is that reentering manmade objects appear considerably slower upon reentry than natural space rocks. The re-entry might appear slow enough to allow pictures or video, something that usually is very difficult with much faster natural meteors. However, Progress 59’s reentry over the Pacific makes this unlikely.
Also, reentering spacecraft have shown significant fragmentation. It is possible to see chunks – possibly in varying colors – creating bursts of light as they fly off the main meteor.
A reentry trajectory from southwest to northeast – as well as from northwest to southeast – was consistent with the orbit of this type of spacecraft.
Before the Progress vehicle reentered the atmosphere, the spacecraft might have been visible to the unaided eye from some locations as it was still orbiting Earth. Remember that orbiting objects and satellites appear as slowly “moving stars” in our sky. During the last hours of the Progress M-27M / 59P mission, the craft would appear to move somewhat faster than other satellites – faster than the apparent speed of ISS – because observers would be looking at an object that is more than twice as close as other orbiting objects.
While still in orbit, Progress 59 was expected to show show variations of brightness, which would confirm the object was tumbling in space and thus reflecting sunlight intermittently.
If you did see a slow and bright, fragmenting “meteor” as described here, please share your sighting reports and location in the comments below, or visit EarthSky communities on Facebook, Twitter or Google+.
Normally, after delivering its cargo to the ISS, Progress spacecraft would be undocked from the orbital laboratory and then a command is sent to purposely send it to reenter the atmosphere and disintegrate over the South Pacific area, so that any surviving debris would not pose a danger to populated areas.
According to NASA, by the way, the ISS crew is not in danger of running out of food or supplies. SpaceX already had a scheduled launch to bring more supplies to the ISS on June 19.
An unpiloted Russian Progress 50 (50P) resupply ship, seen here shortly after undocking from the International Space Station in July, 2013.
Bottom line: A Progress 59 re-supply craft, launched from Kazakhstan on April 28, quickly lost control. It has now fallen from space, over the Pacific.
