Scientists May Have Just Discovered a Parallel Universe Leaking Into Ours

by Heather Peirce

We may have just, for the first time ever, caught a tantalizing glimpse of a parallel universe bumping against our own. Scientists say that signals from the furthest reaches of space suggest that the fabric of our universe is being disrupted by another universe. The discovery could provide proof of the multiverse theory, which says that there are many alternate universes.

We may have just, for the first time ever, caught a momentous glimpse of a parallel universe bumping against our own.

Scientists say that signals from the furthest reaches of space suggest that the fabric of our universe is being disrupted by another universe. The discovery could provide proof of the multiverse theory, which says that there are many alternate universes.

Dr. Ranga-Ram Chary examined the noise and residual signals in the cosmic microwave background left over from the Big Bang and found a number of scattered bright spots which he believes may be signals of another universe bumping into our own billions of years ago

Dr. Ranga-Ram Chary, a researcher at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, examined data from the cosmic microwave background gathered by the European Space Agency’s Planck Space Telescope. Within this glow left over from the moments after the Big Bang, he discovered a number of spots where the microwave light was far brighter than it should be. He claims that theses may be signals caused by the interaction between our universe and another one a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang around 13.8 billion years ago.

The existence of multiple universes – a multiverse – has been considered scientifically plausible. If all these universes emerged from the same Big Bang, then they’re likely sitting together in a row, vibrating. According to the theory, if these universes touch one another, the resulting collision would leave some sort of evidence. According to New Scientist, which first reported the Dr. Chary’s research, this is akin to two bubbles bumping into each other. These so-called “bubble universes”, which are expanding within the multiverse, bumped into each other as they expanded after the Big Bang, leaving an imprint on each other’s outer surface.

Dr. Chary says the signals he has seen suggest the alternate universe may be very different from our own. He says it could have a ratio of subatomic particles called baryons and photons that is about ten times greater than what we see in our own universe. This would mean that the physics in this alternate universe could be quite different from our own.

Dr. Chary explained, “The fine tuning of parameters in the early universe required to reproduce our present day universe suggests that our universe may simply be a region within an eternally inflating super-region. Many other regions beyond our observable universe would exist with each such region governed by a different set of physical parameters than the ones we have measured for our universe.”

Dr. Chary came to his conclusions by using models of the cosmic microwave background and subtracting it from Planck’s pictures of the entire sky. He then removed signals from the stars, gas and dust. With all these removed, all that should have been visible in the images was noise. However, Dr. Chary reports that instead he found scattered patches that were 4,500 times brighter than they should have been. They are thought to come from an era in the universe’s evolution known as recombination, when electrons and protons first combined to create hydrogen. This era has a distinctive spectrum of color due to the limited number of atoms around, and hence has a unique appearance and anomalies can be easily spotted.

Dr. Chary wrote, “The implication is that collision of our Universe with an alternate Universe that has a higher baryon density is responsible for the enhanced recombination line signature.”

Other astronomers are very excited about his findings. Dr. Jens Chluba, an astronomer at the University of Cambridge, told New Scientist, “To explain the signals that Dr. Chary found with the cosmological recombination radiation, one needs a large enhancement in the number of (other particles) relative to photons. In the realm of alternative universes, this is entirely possible.”

The discovery of another universe would be earth-shattering. Excitingly, further study of this possible parallel universe may be possible very soon through NASA’s PIXIE, the Primordial Inflation Explorer whose instruments could more accurately observe and analyze Chary’s light signals and procure more data about cosmic inflation. Scientists at Goddard Space Flight Center are looking for funding for PIXIE, however that funding might not be awarded till the end of 2016.

Mystery bright spots could be first glimpse of another universe

Light given off by hydrogen shortly after the big bang has left some unexplained bright patches in space. Are they evidence of bumping into another universe?

THE curtain at the edge of the universe may be rippling, hinting that there’s more backstage. Data from the European Space Agency’s Planck telescope could be giving us our first glimpse of another universe, with different physics, bumping up against our own.

That’s the tentative conclusion of an analysis by Ranga-Ram Chary, a researcher at Planck’s US data centre in California. Armed with Planck’s painstaking map of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – light lingering from the hot, soupy state of the early universe – Chary revealed an eerie glow that could be due to matter from aneighbouring universe leaking into ours.

This sort of collision should be possible, according to modern cosmological theories that suggest the universe we see is just one bubble among many. Such a multiverse may be a consequence of cosmic inflation, the widely accepted idea that the early universe expanded exponentially in the slimmest fraction of a second after the big bang.

Since it starts, inflation never quite stops, so a multitude of universes becomes nearly inevitable. “I would say most versions of inflation in fact lead to eternal inflation, producing a number of pocket universes,” says Alan Guth of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an architect of the theory.

Energy hidden in empty space drives inflation, and the amount that’s around could vary from place to place, so some regions would eventually settle down and stop expanding at such a manic pace. But the spots where inflation is going gangbusters would spawn inflating universes. And even areas within these new bubbles could balloon into pocket universes themselves.

Like compositions on the same theme, each universe produced this way would be likely to have its own spin on physics. The matter in some bubbles – the boring ones – would fly apart within 10^-40 seconds of their creation. Others would be full of particles and rules similar to ours, or even exactly like ours. In the multiverse of eternal inflation, everything that can happen has happened – and will probably happen again.

That notion could explain why the physical constants of our universe seem to be so exquisitely tuned to allow for galaxies, stars, planets and life (see “Just right for life?“).

Sadly, if they do exist, other bubbles are nigh on impossible to learn about. With the space between them and us always expanding, light is too slow to carry any information between different regions. “They could never even know about each other’s existence,” says Matthew Johnson of York University in Toronto, Canada. “It sounds like a fun idea but it seems like there’s no way to test it.”

Bubble trouble

However, if two bubbles started out close enough that they touched before expanding space pushed them apart forever, they could leave an imprint on each other. “You need to get lucky,” Johnson says.

•               “If two bubbles started out close enough that they touched, they could leave an imprint on each other”

In 2007, Johnson and his PhD adviser proposed that these clashing bubbles might show up as circular bruises on the CMB. They were looking for cosmic dance partners that resembled our own universe, but with more of everything. That would make a collision appear as a bright, hot ring of photons.

By 2011, they were able to search for them in data from NASA’s WMAP probe, the precursor to Planck. But they came up empty-handed.

Now Chary thinks he may have spotted a different signature of a clash with a foreign universe.

“There are two approaches, looking for different classes of pocket universes,” Johnson says. “They’re hunting for lions, and we’re hunting for polar bears.”

Instead of looking at the CMB itself, Chary subtracted a model of the CMB from Planck’s picture of the entire sky. Then he took away everything else, too: the stars, gas and dust.

With our universe scrubbed away, nothing should be left except noise. But in a certain frequency range, scattered patches on the sky look far brighter than they should. If they check out, these anomalous clumps could be caused by cosmic fist-bumps: our universe colliding with another part of the multiverse (arxiv.org/abs/1510.00126).

These patches look like they come from the era a few hundred thousand years after the big bang when electrons and protons first joined forces to create hydrogen, which emits light in a limited range of colours. We can see signs of that era, called recombination, in the light from that early hydrogen. Studying the light from recombination could be a unique signature of the matter in our universe – and potentially distinguish signs from beyond.

“This signal is one of the fingerprints of our own universe,” says Jens Chluba of the University of Cambridge. “Other universes should leave a different mark.”

•        “This signal is one of the fingerprints of our own universe. Others should leave a different mark”

Since this light is normally drowned out by the glow of the cosmic microwave background, recombination should have been tough for even Planck to spot. But Chary’s analysis revealed spots that were 4500 times as bright as theory predicts.

One exciting explanation for this is if a surplus of protons and electrons – or something a lot like them – got dumped in at the point of contact with another universe, making the light from recombination a lot brighter. Chary’s patches require the universe at the other end of the collision to have roughly 1000 times as many such particles as ours.

“To explain the signals that Dr Chary found with the cosmological recombination radiation, one needs a large enhancement in the number of [other particles] relative to photons,” Chluba says. “In the realm of alternative universes, this is entirely possible.”

Of course there are caveats, and recent history provides an important reality check. In 2014, a team using the BICEP2 telescope at the South Pole announced another faint signal with earth-shaking cosmological implications. The spirals of polarised light, spotted in the cosmic background, would have provided more observational evidence for the idea of inflation and helped us understand how inflation occurred. But it turned out that signal came from dust grains within our galaxy.

Princeton University’s David Spergel, who played a major role in debunking the BICEP2 finding, thinks dust may again be clouding our cosmological insights. “I suspect that it would be worth looking into alternative possibilities,” he says. “The dust properties are more complicated than we have been assuming, and I think that this is a more plausible explanation.”

Joseph Silk of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, is even more pessimistic, calling claims of an alternate universe “completely implausible”. While he thinks the paper is a good analysis of anomalies in Planck data, Silk also believes something is getting in the way. “My view is that they are almost certainly due to foregrounds,” he says.

Chary acknowledges that his idea is as tentative as it is exciting. “Unusual claims like evidence for alternate universes require a very high burden of proof,” he writes.

He makes an effort to rule out more prosaic explanations. If it is dust, Chary argues, it would be the coldest dust we’ve ever seen. It’s probably not noise masquerading as a signal. It could be carbon monoxide moving toward us, but we don’t usually see that. It could be faraway carbon, but that emission is too weak.

“I am certain he made every effort to ensure that the analysis is solid,” says Chluba. Even so, foregrounds and poorly understood patterns could still be the source of the signals. “It will be important to carry out an independent analysis and confirm his finding,” Chluba says.

Sensitive solutions

One obstacle to checking is that we’re limited by the data itself. Planck was hyper-sensitive to the cosmic microwave background, but it wasn’t intended to measure the spectral distortions Chary is looking for. Johnson’s team also plans to use Planck to look for their own alternate universes, once the data they need is released to the public – but they estimate that Planck will only make them twice as sensitive to the bubble collisions they’re looking for as they were with WMAP.

An experiment that could help might be on its way. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center plan to submitPIXIE, the Primordial Inflation Explorer, to be considered for funding at the end of 2016.

PIXIE’s spectral resolution could help characterise Chary’s signals if they really are there, Chluba says. But even if they aren’t, reconstructing how inflation happened could still lead us once again back to the multiverse – and tell us what kind of bubble collisions we should look for next (see diagram).

Just right for life?

If our universe is just one of many, that could explain why it seems so exquisitely tuned for our existence.

If dark energy, the repulsive influence hiding in empty space that speeds up the expansion of the universe, were just a little stronger, matter would be flung apart before galaxies could ever form. If it were attractive instead, the universe would collapse. But it is shockingly puny, and that’s weird, unless our universe is one of many in the multiverse.

Compared with what we might expect from quantum theory, dark energy is 120 orders of magnitude too small. So far, no compelling explanation for that discrepancy has emerged. But if the multiverse exists, and dark energy varies from bubble to bubble (see main story), that might not seem so strange.

That’s because our own universe might be an oddball compared to most bubbles. In many, dark energy would be too strong for galaxies, stars and planets to form, but not in all. “Plenty of them would have energies as small as what we observe,” says physicist Alan Guth of MIT.

That still leaves us struggling to explain why our universe is one of the special ones. Our best answer so far, Guth says, is a philosophical headache: our universe has to be special because we are alive in it. In a more average region, where dark energy is stronger, stars, planets, and life would never have evolved.

That could mean life only exists in a sliver of the multiverse, with any conscious beings convinced their own slice of space is special, too.

GERMANY IS ABOUT TO SWITCH ON A NEW FUSION REACTOR THAT COULD CHANGE THE WORLD FOREVER

A team of researchers from Germany has completed the construction of a new experimental fusion reactor, which they hope will surpass all the other models in having the longest sustained reaction, according to Science.

Nuclear fusion reactors aim to replicate the processes that go on inside stars to get electricity, fusing lighter atoms (like hydrogen or helium) together to form heavier elements. Nuclear fusion is still experimental, and it is unlikely we will have commercial power stations before 2050, but it is being pursued (including projects such as ITER) because it produces a lot of energy using a tiny amount of fuel.

It requires having the atoms in an extremely hot plasma (over 100 million kelvins), though, something that can't be done on a large scale at the moment. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany, however, think they may have a solution.

To achieve the scalding plasma, scientists typically use lasers to heat up gas and the plasma is trapped by a magnetic field. Keeping the plasma hot and confined is the main technological challenge when it comes to reactors.

The most common model of nuclear reactors is called a tokamak, a device that confines the plasma in a donut shape. To maintain the plasma in this shape, strong magnets surround the reactor, and an electrical current is induced in the plasma. This current severely limits the tokamak, as it can make the plasma break free of the magnetic confinement and seriously damage the reactor. The current can only be provided in short pulses, limiting the fusion time to only a few minutes.

The other model is called a stellarator. Stellarators were invented by American physicist Lyman Spitzer in 1950, but they fell from favor in the 1970s as the tokamaks were giving much better results. They force the plasma in a weird twisted donut, with no need for an induced electric current inside but requiring a lot more magnets and a more complicated design to keep the plasma confined.

The new machine from the Max Planck Institute, called Wendelstein 7-X (W7X), is a stellarator. It’s the largest in the world at 16 meters (52 feet) in diameter and the team behind it hopes to assess the suitability of its design for commercial fusion reactors.

Shown is the interior of the reactor in 2011.

IPP/Wolfgang Filser. The €1 billion ($1.1 billion/£715 million) German reactor took 19 years to complete; it has 425 metric tons (470 U.S. tons) of superconducting magnets, which need to be cooled down to almost absolute zero, and between those magnets there are 250 ports to supply and remove fuel, to position diagnostic instruments and to be able to heat the plasma inside using microwaves. The construction of such a complex machine could only be done using advanced 3D software. “It can only be done on computer,” Thomas Klinger, leader of the project, told Science. “You can't adapt anything on site.”

W7X should be able to operate with up to 30 minutes of plasma discharge. If the machine ends up doing so, it will become a serious contender to the technology employed in fusion reactors in the future. The current record holder is the French tokamak “Tore Supra” with six minutes and 30 seconds.

The reactor should be turned on by the end of November, and it is currently awaiting approval for the go-ahead from the German nuclear authority ( via iflscience.com ).

OVNI : des milliers de gens en voient le 24-08-1990 à Greifswald, vers la Centrale Nucléaire...

image: http://www.sciences-fictions-histoires.com/medias/images/worgre-2.jpg

Le 24 août 1990, ca. 8.35-9.03 P.M.

Greifswald en Allemagne,

Juste six semaines avant la réunification de l'Allemagne, des milliers de témoins occulaires ont observé une formation de sept objets lumineux, planant pendant presque 30 minutes au-dessus de la mer baltique près de Peenemünde, à l'ancien chantier de construction de fusée nazi V-2, ces OVNI s'approchent de la centrale nucléaire Greifswald.

Parmi les témoins occulaires se trouvaient des physiciens en nucléaire russe travaillant pour cette installation.

Les chercheurs allemands d'OVNI ont pu rassembler cinq videos d'amateur de cet événement, ce qui leur ont permis de reconstruire la position de la formation par triangulation.

Les sceptiques ont rapidement refusé ce cas en disant que pour eux c'étaient de simples fusées de signal mises dans le ciel par la marine russe ou polonaise, mais ils ignorent le fait que la formation, sans aucun doute, planait au-dessus des mers allemandes, à l'ouest de la frontière polonaise.

Et n'importe quelle manoeuvre militaire avant la réunification allemande aurait été considérée comme une agression et aurait causé des protestations diplomatiques importantes.

Mais en fait toutes les deux, la navy russe et polonaise, ont toutes les deux nié cette manoeuvre aérienne alors en question.

Nous présentons ci-dessous deux images tirées des trois meilleurs videos, pris par le Dr. en nucléaire russe physicien Ludmilla Ivanova de Greifswald, Bernhard Gröchel d'Ücheritz-Bansin sur Usedom et Jürgen Luchterhand, à l'est de Greifswald.

Un autre clip de Greifswald en Allemagne de l'Est en 1990, enregistré par le cameraman Valery Vinagradov. Valery déclare qu'il n'était pas le seul témoin de l'événement et déclame que des "centaines de témoins ont assisté à cet événement anormal et de nombreuses photographies ont été prises." Il a décrit les objets comme étant " des boules rougeoyantes qui étaient suspendues en formation dans le ciel. Les sphères qui ont composaient la formation semblaient tourner et planer, mais d'une façon stable et ordonnée." Il a également déclaré " ils agissaient de concert sans aucun mouvements brusques." Plus tard lors de l'observation, une autre sphère apparue et voyagea vers le groupe juste pour disparaître dès qu'elle l'atteignit. C'est pour ces raisons que Valery ne croit pas que ces choses étaient des fusées ou des engins classiques.

Sept photos des objets ont été prises, parmi lesquelles l'une depuis 20 km de là par Rainer-Michael Ladwig de Berlin. Il n'y a aucun doute sur le fait que les quatre vidéos et les sept photos montrent les mêmes objets, il est donc improbable qu'il s'agisse d'un canular. Une analyse informatique des vidéos et photos ont montré que les objets ont manoeuvré a une altitude de 6000 mètres sous les nuages. Ils ont pu être vus depuis une distance de 125 kilomètres.

Le 10 Octobre 1993 à 20:15 le documentaire "Les OVNIS - pourtant ils existent " ("UFOs - und es gibt sie doch") par Heinz Rohde fut diffusé sur ARD, une chaîne allemande publique, avec commentaire et analyses de ces événements et documents.

Voyez encore des photos ci-dessous, et remarquez que la configuration géométrique des points lumineux change, cela explique une chose simple, ces points lumineux ne pouvaient être que plusieurs engins extraterrestres en formation effectuant des figures pour le plus grand spectacle des "Hommes" se trouvant à Greifswald.

Toutes ces photos sont en fait des arrêts sur image provenant de plusieurs films faits par les témoins ce jour-là, pour ceux qui sont des septiques indécrotables, vous êtes au moins obligés de reconnaître que des OVNI existent, et là c'est impossible de répondre autre chose, impossible !

Maintenant libre à vous de croire que ce ne sont que des engins d'origine terrestre genre F-117 en pleine démonstration pour un 14 juillet ou des oies en rut éclairées par des lampions ou des lucioles !...

Au fait voyez à quoi ressemble le F-117 vu de nuit, nous avons justement une photo de lui en bas de page, rien à voir avec ces lumières ! De plus s'il avait volé à la même hauteur qu'elles, cela n'aurait été que juste un point dans le ciel !
Et de plus n'oubliez pas aussi par dessus tout cela qu'aucun bruit ne ressortait de ces lumières !

Rappelons également qu'en 1990, les lanternes asiatiques n'étaient pas encore connues ni trouvables en europe, et surtout pas dans cette région de l'Allemagne de l'Est très protégée, et qu'également, les lanternes asiatiques ne peuvent pas dépasser l'altitude de 500 mètres environs alors que là, nous parlons de 6000 mètres...

NASA confirms that the ‘impossible’ EmDrive thruster really works, after new tests

Isaac Newton should be sweating.

Flying in the face of traditional laws of physics, the EmDrive makes use of a magnetron and microwaves to create a propellant-less propulsion system. By pushing microwaves into a closed, truncated cone and back towards the small end of said cone, the drive creates the momentum and force necessary to propel a craft forward. Because the system is a reaction-less drive, it goes against humankind’s fundamental comprehension of physics, hence its controversial nature.

On the NASA spaceflight forums, March revealed as much as he could about the advancements that have been made with EmDrive and its relative technology. After apologizing for not having the ability to share pictures or the supporting data from a peer-reviewed lab paper, he starts by explaining (as straightforward as rocket science can get) that the Eagleworks lab successfully built and installed a 2nd generation magnetic damper which helps reduce stray magnetic fields in a vacuum chamber. The addition reduced magnetic fields by an order of magnitude inside the chamber, and also decreased Lorentz force interactions.

However, despite ruling out Lorentz forces almost entirely, March still reported a contamination caused by thermal expansion. Unfortunately, this reported contamination proves even worse in a vacuum (i.e. outer space) due in large part to its inherently high level of insulation. To combat this, March acknowledged the team is now developing an advanced analytics tool to assist in the separation of the contamination, as well as an integrated test which aims to alleviate thermally induced errors altogether.

Related: Explaining EmDrive, the ‘physics-defying’ thruster even NASA is puzzled over

While these advancements and additions are no doubt a boon for continued research of the EmDrive, the fact that the machine still produced what March calls “anomalous thrust signals” is by far the test’s single biggest discovery. The reason why this thrust exists still confounds even the brightest rocket scientists in the world, but the recurring phenomenon of direction-based momentum does make the EmDrive appear less a combination of errors and more like a legitimate answer to interstellar travel.

Eagleworks Laboratories’ recent successful testing is the latest in a long line of scientific research allowing EmDrive to slowly shed its “ridiculous” title. Though Shawyer unveiled the device in 2003, it wasn’t until 2009 that a group of Chinese scientists confirmed what he initially asserted to be true — that is, that filling a closed, conical container with resonating microwaves does, in fact, generate a modest amount of thrust towards the wide end of the container. Although extremely cautious about the test, the team in China found the theoretical basis to be correct and that net thrust is plausible.

The thing is, the initial reaction on this theory (especially from the west) was met with polite skepticism. Though the published work showed the calculations to be consistent with theoretical calculations, the test was conducted at such low power that the results were widely deemed to be useless. Luckily, this didn’t stop the good folks over at NASA from giving the EmDrive a spin, resulting in an official study that was conducted in August of 2013. After deliberating on the findings, the space agency officially published its judgment in June of the following year before presenting it at the 50th Joint Propulsion Conference in Cleveland, Ohio.

NASA concluded the RF resonant cavity thruster design does produce thrust “not attributable to any classical electromagnetic phenomenon.” In other words, NASA confirmed Shawyer’s initial prognosis (much like the team of Chinese scientists), but couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation as to why the thing works outside of, “it just does.”

Related: NASA confirms ‘impossible’ thruster actually works, could revolutionize space travel

Moving forward, NASA’s short term objective is to conduct a diverse array of tests on a quantum vacuum plasma thruster (a similar propellantless engine flatter in shape than the EmDrive), in hopes of gaining independent verification and validation of the thruster. Initial IV&V testing will be supported by the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, making use of a stainless steel vacuum chamber which has the capacity to detect force at a single-digit micronewton level, called a low-thrust torsion pendulum.

After that, a similar round of low-thrust torsion pendulum tests will then be conducted at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory before comparing the findings. It’s also reported that the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has contacted the lab about conducting Cavendish Balance-type testing of the IV&V shipset. Ideally, this test would allow Johns Hopkins to measure the amount of gravitational force exerted in propellantless engines.

At this time, it’s unknown when Eagleworks Laboratories intends to officially publish its peer-reviewed paper, but even so, just hearing of the EmDrive’s advancements from one of its top engineers bodes well for the future of this fascinating tech.

Meet the Lobbyist Pressuring the US Gov’t to Disclose Extraterrestrial Activity

Lobbyist and Paradigm Research Group Founder, Stephen Bassett (Wikimedia)

Based in the nation’s capitol, Stephen Bassett is a lobbyist working tirelessly for a single, unusual cause: confronting the US Government on the existence of extraterrestrials and their presence here on Earth.

As a political activist and executive director of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG), Basset aims to end the 68-year embargo of classified information relating to alien activity while pressuring President Obama and the Executive Branch to disclose these findings to the public.

Following the statements made to me by Apollo 14 Astronaut Edgar Mitchell on government cover ups and claims of nuclear weapons tampering by extraterrestrials, I was contacted by an associate of Stephen Bassett who expressed gratitude on his behalf for covering those stories.

Seeing an opportunity to dig deeper into these claims, I decided to interview this unique D.C. lobbyist about his beliefs and mission.

Why did you decide to take up this fight and how did you get started?

I made an intellectual decision to engage the extraterrestrial phenomenon field in the winter of 1995 because I believed I could make a difference. My journey began in January of 1996 as a volunteer for the Program for Extraordinary Experience Research founded by Dr. John E. Mack in Cambridge, Massachusetts. While in Cambridge it became clear to me that the extraterrestrial issue could only be resolved by political means.

The government imposed policy of Truth Embargo had to end. In July of 1996 I relocated to the Washington, D.C., area and registered as a lobbyist on the extraterrestrial topic—the first person to do so.

Why? the presence of extraterrestrials is the most important truth in the world today with the greatest potential to alter the present course of human affairs – a course badly in need of a new destination.

What do you see as the ultimate goal?

The Disclosure advocacy movement has a very clear goal: formal acknowledgement by world governments of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. At this time the focus of the movement is on the United States and President Obama.

Why is it important that the government fully disclose the existence of extraterrestrials?

It would take a book to properly answer this question but here are some talking points: 1) trust in government has collapsed 2) truth is the antidote to fear 3) a vast military/intelligence/industrial complex has been created that threatens the Republic and this complex is partially a result of government’s desire to secretly address the extraterrestrial reality 4) extraterrestrial derived technologies are being withheld under the embargo that are badly needed to address the human condition 5) the executive and legislative branches of government are being weakened by the policy of embargo 6) a number of other heads of state could end the truth embargo at any time, and this would have serious geopolitical consequences for the United States.

How do you think the public will react to full disclosure?

Public response to disclosure will be overwhelmingly positive. For many, such an announcement will be anticlimactic. Over time, as the complex history of the extraterrestrial engagement emerges, some concerns will be raised. The Internet will provide the means for the human race to quickly arrive at consensus regarding these concerns and direct their governments accordingly.

There will be some negative response and perhaps acting out, but that will not be unusual. The idea that disclosure would disrupt economies, religion, governments, etc. is a concept put forward by the managers of the Extraterrestrial Truth Embargo. It is mostly propaganda.

Which branch of government is privy to the information regarding the presence of extraterrestrials?

The extraterrestrial history and engagement is most likely managed by cross-agency committees within the military/intelligence complex and working under the highest of security classifications. Each committee would address a major aspect of the issue and comprised of representatives from the appropriate agencies and services for that issue. In many or all cases the agency represented may not know of this committee. The committee may not know of other committees involved. Compartmentalization.

This approach is likely quite satisfactory for the military/intelligence community. The problem is politics. The executive and legislative branches of government have certain responsibilities regarding national security matters.

Beginning with the Johnson administration, the decision was made to remove these branches of government over time from the equation. By the time Clinton takes office, the president and the appropriate congressional committees no longer had access. They did not have a need to know and were shut out. Efforts to get information were stonewalled. Efforts to get congressional hearings were blocked. This, of course, raises serious constitutional questions.

What is the Rockefeller initiative and how are the Clintons involved?

The Rockefeller Initiative refers to the formal effort by billionaire Laurance Rockefeller to persuade the Clinton administration to release all documents in government files and grant amnesty to government witnesses who might come forward. This effort began on March 29,1996 and ended in October of 1996. Over 1000 pages of documents were obtained in 2000 by researcher Grant Cameron under the Freedom of Information Act confirming the Rockefeller Initiative.

These documents have been posted on the Internet for the past 15 years. President Bill Clinton, Secretary Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, Dr. John Gibbons and Webster Hubbell were directly involved in the Initiative. Others either directly involved or aware of the Initiative include Clinton’s Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, Clinton’s Chief of Staff Mack McLarty, Vice President Al Gore and Clinton’s Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson.

During the 25 years since the beginning of the Rockefeller Initiative none of these individuals has ever spoken publicly about it in service to their personal and political aspirations. No member of the media has ever posed a single question to any of them about it until April of this year. Since then, several queries have been put to John Podesta and Secretary Clinton by reporters. Neither have responded.

The Clinton connection to the extraterrestrial issue via the Rockefeller Initiative will be the trigger that sets the media free to finally engage and investigate the most important news story in history.

If Secretary Clinton is elected president, would that increase the chances of full disclosure?

Yes, but the Disclosure advocacy movement has no intention of waiting for that uncertain outcome. Barack Obama will be the Disclosure president.

You mentioned Nuclear Weapons tampering as the catalyst for a “media storm.” Is there hard evidence of this phenomenon?

Over the past 15 years considerable evidence has been amassed confirming incidents in which extraterrestrial craft have tampered with nuclear weapons in both the United States and the Soviet Union. The bulk of that evidence has been compiled in the book, UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites – by Robert Hastings. At the center of this evidence is first hand testimony by Air Force officers who were present during these incidents. One such officer, Capt. Robert Salas wrote a book about his experience—Faded Giant. More than a dozen such officers are prepared to testify before Congress under oath.

The fact that this evidence has been out in the public domain for fifteen years and no congressional committee has engaged the issue and no media venue has challenged the Air Force, the Pentagon or the White House to respond is both a disgrace and a symptom of major dysfunction.

Why do you think the term “UFO” is unacceptable when discussing full disclosure?

“UFO” is an anachronistic non-sequitur pushed forward early on by the skeptics and the government. It is as ludicrous as stating the focus of atomic physics is “ITPs”—unidentified tiny particles. The primary technique behind the Truth Embargo is the intellectual ghettoization of the phenomenon and the people who address it. “UFO” is part of the language of that ghetto designed to keep the public, the press, academics and political leaders at bay.

What has been some of the major obstacles in your mission?

The principal obstacle for the Disclosure advocacy moment is the Truth Embargo. Beginning with the early 1950s enormous time and money was invested by the government to create and maintain this embargo, which by the end of the Cold War was thoroughly entrenched. Another major obstacle is the lack of funding for advocacy projects, which is a direct result of the Truth Embargo.

Who are your most important allies?

Important allies of this movement include a growing list of intrepid reporters and editors willing to challenge the Truth Embargo, a number of countries that have proactively released tens of thousands of extraterrestrial phenomenon related files to the public domain, and some former member of Congress,  The most important ally is the Internet and the access it provides to the entire world to build awareness and consensus.

Can you describe the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure and why it was so important?

The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure or CHD was an event in which 42 military/agency/political witnesses of rank testified for 30 hours over five days before six former members of Congress regarding events and evidence confirming an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.

It had never been done before and it was filmed in high definition and webcast worldwide. It was a mock congressional hearing held in the main ballroom of the National Press Club two blocks from the White House and a dozen blocks from the Capitol. It was extensively covered by the media.

The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure was the key that could unlock the Truth Embargo. As planned it was the platform upon which to launch PRG’s Congressional Hearing Initiative. So on November 5, 2014, 10-disk DVD sets with the full video record of the CHD were shipped to every congressional office—535. What viewers of the Citizen Hearing Disclosure would see is very much how a real congressional hearing would play out. The kinds of witnesses, the quality of their testimony, how the committee members would react and what questions would be ask. In short, the CHD took most of the political risk out of a decision by a congressional committee to hold hearings. It has made possible all that was to come.

The Dogon Tribe and Their Nordic Alien Gods From Sirius

How did an African tribe come to possess advanced astronomical knowledge about the Sirius star system?

Throughout history, many civilizations were fascinated with Sirius, the Dog Star. This bright celestial object occupies an elevated status in various mythologies but none paint a more intriguing picture than the Dogon Tribe of West Africa.

The rich culture of the Dogon people spans back more than five thousand years and one of their ancient legends tells the story of a race of otherworldly beings called the Nommo. 

According to legend, these advanced individuals visited the Earth eons ago, descending “from the sky in a vessel accompanied by fire and thunder.”

Friendly in nature, they shared some of their wisdom with the ancestors of the Dogon.

At this point we should mention that the Dogon possessed no astronomical instruments with which to study the night sky. But despite this inconvenience, their legends mention that the Nommo came from a planet that orbits one of the two stars in the Sirius star system.

It would have been impossible for them to reach this conclusion just by studying the star with the naked eye. In fact, astronomers only discovered Sirius’ smaller companion star a good 250 years after the telescope was invented.

Every 50 years, the Dogon celebrate the passing of a Sirius cycle, a tradition they keep in honor of the Nommo. That is exactly the time it takes for Sirius B to complete an orbit around its larger, more well-known companion. Coincidence?

The fact that a primitive African tribe possessed advanced knowledge about the universe is a mystery, but one that can be easily explained if we viewed their legends as mirrors of real events.

So, what do the Dogon say about the Nommo?

Their home planet orbits Sirius B and is a largely-aquatic world. All legends describe them as amphibious creatures, very similar to our conception of Merfolk. Their upper half of the body closely resembles the Nordic Alien prototype of blue eyed, blonde-haired tall humanoids.

They landed in a large space ship the Dogon call ‘Pelu Tolo’ or ‘Star of the Tenth Moon.’ This event is one of great importance for the Dogon — their first contact. At the same time the Nommo ship was spiraling towards earth, a new star appeared in the night sky, possibly a mother ship from Sirius.

The tribe describe this star as having a swirling circle of reddish rays around it and also say that it was stationary relative to the other stars in the night sky.

The Dogon revered the Nommo and regarded them as civilizing gods. They are commonly referred to as ‘The Masters of the Waters”, “The Watchers” or “The Saviors.”

When shown photos of the most encountered alien species, Dogon shamans identified them with theNordic alien type, claiming that their tribe had met blue eyed white humanoids long before meeting white men.

As unbelievable as this story sounds, it is paralleled by many others worldwide and they all share one common aspect: advanced alien beings visiting our planet, offering their aid and knowledge and being revered as gods.

It would appear that this rash of visitations occurred around 5,000 years ago, possibly following a great flood or another catastrophe.

The white-skinned gods apparently visited the entire planet, as legends ranging from Australia to the Americas describe similar beings teaching mankind their ways.

Signs of the Return of Nibiru

(Before It's News)

A giant crack in the earth appeared in the last two weeks on a ranch we hunt in the Bighorn Mountains. An engineer from Riverton, WY came out to shed a little light on this giant crack in the earth and said apparently, a wet spring lubricated across a cap rock. Then, a small spring on either side caused the bottom to slide out. He estimated 15 to 20 million yards of movement. By range finder, an estimate is 750 yards long and about 50 yards wide.

When there is a sudden life-size cracks at the edge of one of the potentially most dangerous volcanoes in the world, the Yellowstone super volcano, it becomes clear that there is definitely something going on with our planet and another sign that an external force must be the cause of these giant cracks.

If we take a look at a 3600 year cycle of dramatic earth changes, we see that 3600 ago there was the Santorino eruption in Greece. This eruption is one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history.

The Minoan eruption or Thera eruption which also occurred some 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. This eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of meters deep and may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, 110 km (68 mi) to the south, through a gigantic tsunami.

Wildlife Cam Captured Beam Of Light Accompanied By Large Sphere In Hartsville, South Carolina (Photos)

(Before It's News)

My brother-in-law has a hunting area not far from our home in Hartsville, South Carolina. He has cameras posted in the hunting area to see if any Deer come by the feed pile so he can hunt them.

He always goes out every other day to retrieve the disc from the camera to check the footage and see what, if anything has tripped the camera.

The camera is a color, laser motion activated camera. When he downloaded the images he noticed the strange lights on the disc.
 

He asked me to look at the pictures to see what I can make of it. I told him that they looked like “Orbs”. I replied to him.

Then he asked me to forward this information to MUFON, hoping we can get an answer as to what the strange lights can be.

Since these images were taken, no animals (Deer, Turkeys, Squirrel, Crows, Raccoons) have ever returned to the feed pile.

In the attached photos, shot on October 16, 2015, I am also adding the picture after the light, so you can see the area during day light. Mufon case 71884.

UFO zorgt voor paniek bij ISS-ruimtestation ( VIDEO )

uit de manier waarop NASA reageerde op het plotseling verschijnen van een UFO bij het ISS ruimtestation blijkt dat het hier onverwacht bezoek betrof. 

De camera die filmt vanaf het ruimtestation draait rustig naar links, stopt dan abrupt en er wordt vervolgens ingezoomd op een vreemd gloeiend object. 

We hebben dit keer toch wel een heel bijzondere opname gemaakt door NASA vanaf het ISS ruimtestation. 

Je ziet in de onderstaande video die gemaakt is door ufoloog Scott Waring de camera die bevestigd is aan het ISS langzaam naar links bewegen. 

Tot men op een gegeven moment ontdekt dat er in de verte een vreemd gloeiend object zichtbaar is.

Dan zie je dat de camera stopt en men inzoomt op het mysterieuze gloeiend object in de ruimte. 

Duidelijk is in ieder geval dat men dit object niet had verwacht bij het ISS en hier dan ook van schrok. Vanwege de felheid van het object lukt het niet zo goed om een goed gedetailleerd beeld te krijgen. 

De vraag is natuurlijk welk fel gloeiend object daar hangt, dat zo zulk fel licht uitstraalt dat de peperdure camera’s van NASA er niet in slagen om er een goede opname van te maken? 

In ieder geval blijkt ook hier dat de UFO geen enkele moeite heeft om de snelheid van het ISS bij te benen en met gemak ernaast blijft vliegen. 

De meest aannemelijke verklaring is dan ook dat we hier te maken hebben met wat nieuwsgierige buitenaardsen die dichterbij komen om eens even te kijken wat voor gek primitief ding daar in de ruimte hangt.

UFO spotted at Delhi airport; Indian Air Force on high alert (Watch Video) Oct 29, 2015, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 29, 2015
Location of sighting: Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, India
News source: http://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/ufo-spotted-at-delhi-airport-indian-air-force-on-high-alert-55665.html

On Friday Nov 13, a UFO or unidentified flying object that NASA said is hollow and long like a tube will fall to earth. This UFO sighting a few days ago is not far from the Indian ocean where it will fall. It looks like the object falling is alien, and the UFO sightings in recent days will only increase in that area until their craft lands safely into the ocean. 
Scott C. Waring

News states:
Delhi is immensely popular for sight-seeing but spotting an unidentified flying object over India’s national capital is something unheard of. Security agencies at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport have been put on high alert after multiple reports of UFO sightings. This is not an individual’s figment of imagination though. The fact that a suspicious flying object was reported by two people, at different locations, is enough to order an inquiry into the matter. For now, the Indian Air Force has also been put on alert and have direct orders to shoot down any UFO or suspicious flying entity. On October 29, an Air Vistara pilot from Bhubaneshwar complained that he was distracted by a laser beam at the time of landing. The flight was carrying hundreds of passengers at the time. Another sighting comes straight from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower where an Indian Air Force (IAF) member noticed a flying object at approximately 10:44 AM IST on October 30. He reported seeing two more objects, at 10:50 AM IST and 10:55 AM IST, respectively.

 

Despite claiming to see a UFO/drone, no concrete evidence was discovered to support the claims. Officers of the Intelligence Bureau, Bureau for Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), Delhi Police, and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) met to discuss the event and the IAF has been advised to keep strict vigil. It is interesting to note that the Delhi Police has prohibited the use of any laser beams or similar objects, by an individual or group, in and around the IGI airport. If eye-witness incidents are to be believed, this is a direct violation of the law. But the more important question is about the origins of these flying objects and laser beams. Some mysterious space junk, dubbed a UFO, is about to crash into the Indian Ocean on November 13, 2015. But the sightings at IGI were no ordinary space debris. It will be naive of us to dismiss this as an act of mischief. But to fuel theories regarding UFO sightings will only please the conspiracy camp, and upset the other lot.

Police Officer Talks About His UFO Sighting Back In Aug 1979, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Location of sighting: Warren, Minnesota, USA
News source: http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/11/01/finding-minnesota-deputys-ufo-encounter/

I always find that UFO reports by police, military and government officials to be exceptionally credible. It ridiculous to think otherwise. We have to trust the heroes of our society, or we can't trust anyone.

News states:
WARREN, Minn. (WCCO) — Every now and then, someone calls 911 about mysterious objects in the sky. Most can be explained away as atmospheric conditions or aircraft — or sometimes just too much whiskey. But to this day, a Minnesota UFO sighting from the ‘70s is considered more credible than most, in part because of who called it in. Marshall County sheriff’s deputy Val Johnson was on patrol in the early morning hours of Aug. 27, 1979, when he spotted something strange along a rural highway. The president of the Marshall County Historical Society, Kent Broten, knows the story well. “What (Deputy Johnson) saw was a bright object, maybe like a foot in diameter, about three and a half feet off the ground,” Broten said. “As he explained it in the news reports, what was there all of a sudden was here, so the light just shot at him, engulfed his car in light and blinded him.” Thirty-six years later, the deputy’s damaged squad car is still what brings most people in, to the Marshall County Museum. Herb Maurstad, a fellow deputy at the time, is still at a loss to explain how the car’s antennas became warped at different angles, the windshield was smashed, a headlight broken and the hood dented. The dashboard clock stopped for 14 minutes, as did Deputy Johnson’s watch, before starting up again. Maurstad said an expert from Ford Motor Company inspected the windshield and said the cracks were unusual. He said it’s not the type of shattering you would get if you hit the windshield with a hammer, for example. “You can see that it wasn’t Val Johnson’s head that hit there because it’s in the wrong place,” Maurstad said. “Way too low.” Broten stops short of calling it an alien encounter. “It doesn’t mean it’s from outer space,” he said. “It’s just an unidentified flying object hit it and it just hasn’t been explained, so it’s unidentified.” Johnson was treated for welder-type burns to his eyes.

 

His supervisor at the time was Sheriff Dennis Brekke, who is now retired. “We do believe that our deputy had an encounter with something that we haven’t been able to explain yet on this date,” Brekke said, “and there’s a lot of interest because of that, I guess.” The Internet has brought about new interest over the past several years. Conspiracy theorists are still trying to solve what law enforcement, mechanical inspectors and the Center for UFO Studies could not. “I don’t know what happened,” Brekke said. “I know in my own mind I did the best job we could, me and my department, to investigate and find out what went on. And all we found out is: We don’t know.” Maurstad, who later became Marshall County Sheriff, said he now believes in UFOs. “Yeah, I kind of do,” he said. “There’s got to be something more than us around.” Johnson is now retired and living in western Wisconsin. Reached by phone, Johnson said there’s already so much information out there, he really prefers not to talk about this anymore.

Russia: Giant UFO Causes People To Run Away In Fear

A woman claimed to have seen a glowing object in the sky above the capital of Buryatia, Russia. The photo of the object, which was particularly taken in Ulan-Ude, shows lots of green lights and some red and blue colors.

The photo was first uploaded to Vkontakte – the Russian version of social media site Facebook.

The reporting witness was with her son when the bizarre object vanished and then reappeared. Two passers-by were in the area too, the woman witness said.

According to her, the object stopped right over them, but she could not say a word and noticed two men running to hide in a building.

She described it as a gigantic saucer with glowing green lights in the middle. The witness’ son got scared and grabbed her hand, and they ran away.

The sighting is the latest in the series of sightings above the region.

An Ulan-Ude resident said that bright glowing objects were common in the area. He also personally saw a bright object from a balcony in the night.

Someone else claimed to have spotted red lights in the sky before they disappeared.

Mysterious UFO sightings have been all over the world in 2015.

Giant UFOs or the so-called motherships have been recorded on videos and captured on photos emerging from the clouds, creating fears of an ET invasion.

UFO Dropping 10 Feet Seen By Omaha Witness

Since the dawn of man, UFO sightings have been reported. These sightings were being recorded with Cave patterns and layouts dated back to 8000 B.C.E. It was also the time when the first and actual documented incidents are starting to appear in the 1600s. When the first sighting appeared will forever remain a mystery. For all we know, the first man ever created or evolved, depending on your theory of choice, sighted the first strange object. What was the mysterious object he sighted back in 310,000,000 B.C.? In all honesty, it was probably an insect or bird. After all, UFO stands for an unidentified flying object. The first man would not have been able to identify the winged creature at first glance. However, usually we are not thinking about an insect or bird when discussing UFO sightings.

Practically speaking, UFO sightings today are synonymous with aliens. Thousands of reports have come forward claiming to see extraterrestrial space origins. The general public often greets These people with mass amounts of skepticism and distrust. However, is the Nebraska witness at Omaha an exception to the rule? Omaha is being considered as the largest city in Nebraska. It holds a population of 446,599. It was being reported that there was an appearance of white cloud moving closer revealing a massive and boomerang-shaped object. As the witness stepped on the third-floor deck, the occurrence occurred at 8:20 p.m. on October 4, 2015. As it moved closer, it altered its shape into a V-shaped craft. As it moved to the south, there is no faint sound of the wind, and there were no lights.  When it appeared in front of the witness, it was estimated to be 10 feet above. The image seemed to be a massive object. Though experts denied the claim, they cannot deny that there are still many sightings seen by other people around the world.

Ancient Egyptian Papyrus Describes a Massive UFO Encounter From the Past

02-11-2015 om 23:58 geschreven door peter  

Unidentified Flying Objects – the reality, the cover-up and the truth

Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs as they are commonly known, have been witnessed by millions of people all over the world and have been recorded in history books, myths, legends and traditions for thousands of years. However, many accounts that are recorded in ancient texts are dismissed as mere myths and legends, while UFO sightings that have taken place in the last few centuries have been classified as misinterpretations of natural phenomena, illusions, or conspiracy theories.

History has shown us time and again that a plethora of so-called ‘myths’ have their basis in reality. It is possible, and indeed likely, that stories and legends were a way for people to explain real—and perhaps perplexing—events using the knowledge and beliefs of their time. In support of this theory, a number of events described in mythology, which were once considered mere fairy tales, have now been proven through archaeology to have existed. A famous example is the city Troy, which is central to Homer’s ‘The Iliad’. Long considered to be a city of myth, Heinrich Schliemann’s discovery of the actual site in 1868 elevated it to a place in history. Nevertheless, the remainder of The Iliad is still viewed as a myth and fantasy without any serious attempts being made to investigate whether or not there may be more truth behind the tale.  The same goes for many accounts of ‘flying machines’, which we find reference to in countless mythologies from numerous different cultures around the world.

MANY CULTURES CONTAIN PICTORIAL AND WRITTEN RECORDS OF ‘FLYING MACHINES’, YET THESE ARE USUALLY DISMISSED AS MYTH AND LEGEND. (WIKIMEDIA COMMONS)

It is common to see people selectively decide what is real and what is not and all of this on the unsubstantiated assumption that ancient people were primitive and had little to no knowledge compared to us today. On the contrary, manyancient civilizations, like the Sumerians, Indus Valley, and Egyptians existed with complex social structures, legal systems, art, astronomy, mathematics, and technology, some of which is still not fully understood today. The Antikythera Mechanism, for example, is a 2,200-year-old mechanical device that is still not completely understood despite decades of research by top scientists around the world.

Ancient Astronaut Theory

The topic of flying objects and supernatural beings from out of our world is one in which we find multiple references in mythologies.  All of these myths and legends, along with archaeological evidence such as rock art depictions, have created a wave of theories that gave birth to the ‘Ancient Astronaut’ perspective, which links all of these ancient references and depictions to UFOs, and posits that extra-terrestrials visited Earth and made contact with humans in antiquity and prehistory, influencing the development of human cultures, technologies, and religions.

Unfortunately, there are numerous charlatans who have tried to ‘cash in’ on this movement for profit or publicity, or who have diminished it with caricatures of little green men, resulting in the ancient astronaut perspective being widely criticized and attacked for its lack of credibility. Consequently, what is in fact a plausible and possible explanation for what we see in ancient art and texts, is now rarely examined by scholars, who fear being ridiculed or having their professional career seriously undermined. 

UFOS IN ART: “BATTESIMO DI CRISTO” 1710; FITZWILLIAM MUSEUM, CAMBRIDGE (WIKIMEDIA COMMONS)

UFO sightings in recent history

But let’s leave the ancient past for a while and examine just the last 80 years of human history. Millions of people all over the globe have witnessed unidentified flying objects. Many have been recorded in detailed reports witnessed by police, pilots, astronauts, government officials, pilots, military personnel and, of course, ordinary citizens. Some of the more well-known cases were witnessed by thousands of people at one time. Historical records make it evident that UFO appearances magnified during and after World War II, including the example of the famous ‘Foo Fighters’.

While most sightings can be explained either by celestial phenomena, airplanes, planets, weather phenomena, military exercises, or in some cases drug use or mental instability, there still exists a small percentage that cannot be accounted for by any of these explanations. This is what makes the phenomena important and not to be ignored, particularly considering that sightings are frequently reported around military bases and airfields and are therefore, at the very least, a matter of both national security and air safety.

It is an undeniable fact that there are cases of unidentified objects in our skies. It has been acknowledged by the major governments from all over the world simply through the very fact that official research has been conducted on the matter in the US, UK, Russia, Europe, China, South America, and many others. All of this research, in every single case, concluded that there is a percentage of phenomena that cannot be explained.

In the past decade, many countries have declassified their UFO research files, releasing thousands of documents through the Freedom of Information Act and making numerous UFO cases available in the public domain. One recently released document from the UFO files in Britain, revealed how Churchill, concerned about the UFO issue, ordered a shutdown of information for at least 50 years to prevent mass panic and the potential to undermine religious beliefs. The document in question was also published on the BBC news site in 2010.

By doing careful research on the topic, passing over obvious scam and fake stories, it is clear to see that unidentified flying objects do exist. So the question is not whether they exist or not, but rather, what are they? Are they of terrestrial or extra-terrestrial origin? And what is their purpose?

UFOs and the limits of science

Many prominent scientists have already stated that other civilizations must exist in the Universe, and that it would be statistically impossible for this not to be the case. However, with our knowledge of science and technology today, we cannot yet support the means for  interstellar travel, and since we have not discovered intelligent life in our solar system, the assumption is made that there must be no way that extra-terrestrials could have travelled to Earth. However, this argument is of course flawed because it is based within the framework of our own understanding of the universe, and does not take into account the capabilities of civilizations that may be millions of years ahead of our own.  It also hinges on the following assumptions:

1. We know everything about physics and reality and therefore there is no way that such distant travel can be achieved.
2. We are using our means to try to contact other civilizations (e.g. SETI’s attempts to pick up radio or communication signals) and since we don’t perceive any signals of OUR type, nothing must exist.
3. We are looking for organic forms of life exactly like us and for planets with the exact same conditions as ours.

It is clear that these arguments show the arrogance of mankind, a mankind that may just be an infant in the Universe. And this is not new. During the history of humanity, in every single period of time, we believed that we knew the truth, only to have it replaced later on by new ‘knowledge’.  

• There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement,
  Lord Kelvin, 1901, physicist

Quantum physics, still a relatively new and unexplored field in Science, has shown that reality could be completely different to what we believe it to be. Powerful telescopes have shown distant planets in solar systems that could possibly sustain life. Theories of wormholes and warp drives have shown that at a theoretical level we could achieve interstellar travel. Yes, we would require incredible amounts of energy to even think of trying to achieve something like this, so according to our standards today it is impossible to achieve, but in theory it can be achieved.

• “It now seems quite clear that Earth is not the only inhabited planet. There is evidence that the bulk of the stars in the sky have planetary systems. Recent research concerning the origin of life on Earth suggests that the physical and chemical processes leading to the origin of life occur rapidly in the early history of the majority of planets within our Milky Way galaxy–perhaps as many as a million–are inhabited by technical civilizations in advance of our own. Interstellar space flight is far beyond our present technical capabilities, but there seems to be no fundamental physical objections to preclude, from our own vantage point, the possibility of its development by other civilizations.” Carl Sagan, Ph.D. (Late Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences, Cornell University)

Reluctance to engage with the UFO subject

The reason that the scientific community is not dealing seriously with UFOs is because the topic has been extensively ridiculed both by the media and in academic circles, with false information spread everywhere.  For similar reasons, military personnel, astronauts, pilots, and other categories of professionals do not want to talk because, either they have been forced to sign confidentiality agreements, or because of fear that their careers would be destroyed. This is why we have seen many examples of ‘death bed confessions’.

One such case was with astronaut Gordon Cooper, who told the world about his experience encountering a UFO during his flight in the Mercury capsule in 1963. Before he died he stated: “for many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us”.

While great efforts have been made to ridicule and disparage anyone who lends support to the existence of UFOs, the fact remains that there are numerous high-profile cases that are supported by solid evidence, and which should not be dismissed.

Recorded UFO sightings with extensive witness support

Below I present a very limited list constituting strong evidence for the existence of unidentified flying objects in the last 60 years.

November 1942 – LA Incident, known as the Battle of LosAngeles

It all happened in the early hours of February 25 in 1942. An aircraft flew over LA County that sparked an air raid alert (it was in the midst of WWII). Searchlights and guns were locked onto the aircraft for about an hour. The picture below appeared in the LA Times in a story about the Battle of LA It clearly shows a night time defensive response to an air raid. The aircraft was not hostile and obviously was not damaged by the attack. The Government stated that the craft they were shooting at was unidentified.

December 1980 – Rendlesham Forest Incident, Suffolk UK

This incident involved a group of American servicemen stationed at a military base in Suffolk that contained a storage centre with nuclear weapons.  There had been three consecutive night of sighting objects in the sky over the base, in some cases shining a light down upon the nuclear weapons storage. On the third night, approximately two dozen servicemen were sent into the forest to investigate one set of mysterious lights. The men reported seeing a spacecraft on the ground in close proximity to them and three extra-terrestrial beings. One serviceman claimed to have touched the craft.  The whole incident was filmed and photographed by one of the servicemen, but all photos and videos were removed by the US military. When the British Government released the UFO files, the Rendlesham incident papers were missing – as reported on BBC.

NOVEMBER 1986, JAPAN AIR LINES FLIGHT 1628 OVER ALASKA

In November, 1986, a Japanese crew of a jumbo freighter aircraft witnessed three enormous unidentified objects while flying over Alaska, USA. This sighting gained international attention when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it was going to officially investigate this sighting because the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Anchorage, Alaska, had reported that the UFO had been detected on radar. The UFOs in this case were tracked on both ground and airborne radar, witnessed by experienced airline pilots, and confirmed by a FAA Division Chief.

APRIL 1990 – BELGIUM UFO WAVE, PETIT RECHAIN BELGIUM

The Belgium UFO wave began in November 1989. The events of 29 November would be documented by no less than thirty different groups of witnesses, and three separate groups of police officers. All of the reports related to a large object flying at low altitude. The craft was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath. This giant craft did not make a sound as it slowly moved across the landscape of Belgium. The Belgium UFO wave peaked with events on the night of 30/31 March 1990. On that night, unknown objects were tracked on radar, chased by two Belgian Air Force F16s, photographed, and were sighted by an estimated 13,500 people on the ground – 2,600 of whom filed written statements describing in detail what they had seen. Following the incident, the Belgian air force released a report detailing the events of that night.

MARCH 1997 – PHOENIX LIGHTS, ARIZONA, US

The Phoenix Lights (also identified as “Lights over Phoenix”) was a UFO sighting which occurred in Phoenix, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997. Lights of varying descriptions were seen by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, in a space of about 300 miles (480 km), from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson. Witnesses claim to have observed a huge square-shaped UFO, containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines. Fife Symington, the governor at the time, was one witness to this incident; he later called the object “otherworldly.”

OCTOBER 2004 – OSAKA AIRPORT, JAPAN

On the night of August 30, a cluster of multi-colored lights was seen floating in the sky above Osaka. Several people reported to Twitter that they saw a group of lights forming a triangular shape and flashing green, red and white in the night sky above Izumi city in Osaka Prefecture. The sightings caused a commotion on Twitter after one user wrote: “Everyone in Osaka, go outside! There’s a UFO!” prompting others to grab their cameras and snap up photos of mysterious luminous object.

NOVEMBER 2006, O-HARE AIRPORT, USA

At approximately 16:15 CST on Tuesday November 7, 2006, federal authorities at Chicago O’Hare International Airport received a report that a group of twelve airport employees were witnessing a metallic, saucer-shaped craft hovering over Gate C-17.

The object was first spotted by a ramp employee who was pushing back United Airlines Flight 446, which was departing Chicago for Charlotte, North Carolina. The employee apprised Flight 446’s crew of the object above their aircraft. It is believed that both the pilot and co-pilot also witnessed the object.

Several independent witnesses outside of the airport also saw the object. According to the Chicago Tribune’s Jon Hilkevitch, “The disc was visible for approximately two minutes and was seen by close to a dozen United Airlines employees, ranging from pilots to supervisors, who heard chatter on the radio and raced out to view it.”

MAY 2007, UFO FLEETS, LIMA, PERU

JULY 2010 – XIAOSHAN AIRPORT, CHINA

An unidentified flying object that disrupted air traffic in Hangzhou for an hour on Wednesday, 10^th of July 2010. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi. Eighteen flights were affected. A spokesman from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) confirmed to ABC News that the matter is under investigation. He declined to disclose further details. A day after the sighting, however, an anonymous source told China Daily that authorities already discovered the identity of the UFO after an investigation but could not publically disclose the information because “there was a military connection.”

Disclosure

Many would say that the above examples constitute irrefutable proof that extra-terrestrial UFOs exist. So why isn’t the public told about it?  Imagine the implications that disclosure would have and what it would mean. Acknowledgment of extra-terrestrial civilizations having visited Earth would mean that many of the myths and legends of the past are in fact based on reality. It would suggests that humanity has been influenced for millennia by other-worldly beings, beings that in the past were considered gods. Disclosure would entirely topple the status quo and the balance of powers in society, and turn upside down what we know about the history of mankind.

The acknowledgement of the UFO phenomena is an event with the power to bring a global revolution in every sector of our lives today – technology and energy supply, communication and environmental concerns, society and religion.  Is this what governments and corporations are afraid of – a shift in balance and their loss of their positions of power and control? Or is it that the powers that be are afraid of re-writing our human history?

• “When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science, but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum leap.”  Dr J. Allen Hynek, Scientific Advisor to the U.S. Air Force

Oops, Disclosure Did YOU Miss It?

Disclosure, that word that defines a goal in a truth seekers world. What is this holy grail we speak of?  For some it’s the statements of witnesses with cold hard evidence to back them up.  A true sceptic would not believe it until ET is standing in front giving him the lit finger. All it takes is one sighting to change a sceptic’s point of view. It seems a witness statement will never be enough.  Let’s have a look at a few of the past events in disclosure to lead to our present situation.

EVENTS

2001 Dr Steven Greer presents “the disclosure project” to the American media. 200+ military witnesses support the group doing the presentation. All are going against their security clearances that were deemed null and void by Dr Greer and the groups attorney.

Was that disclosure? Witness statements prepared to speak in front of Congress on Moon bases, crashed craft, reversed engineered  craft, tracked ufo’s and documented alien species are all there. Yet still we wait for the big D.  Or we are still waiting for our universal neighbour’s to land at a public event.  My friends this will never happen and the reason is the threat of violence. Look at our media/entertainment and the violence we broadcast to the universe.

Dr Steven Greers work did not end there and his CE-5 protocols seem to be having great success.

2015

After fourteen years of hammering away more evidence comes to light in some great documentary. The enigma of the Mars moon hits home Not just the monolith there but evidence of a cigar-shaped ufo measuring 25km  long with a 13km  diameter.This was aired on Russian TV. There was also secondary evidence of this craft photographed by  the NASA rover. They also point out how many probes sent to Mars have been destroyed or fail upon arrival. The moon bases are looked at in-depth. This is the part one of an excellent and fresh 2015 disclosure documentary covering this along with the best public footage of an off world craft.

Last of all is UIP’s  great friend Steve Basset who was kind enough to answer our followers questions. Here’s that article. http://www.ufointernationalproject.com//?s=Steve+bassett

UIP summary – OK I’ll say it. Disclosure has been and gone. Now we have the drip feed of information. There can be no doubt now that we are being visited. What we are left with now is secrecy, extortion and people wanting the truth.  Now more than ever people are waking up to the reality of cover ups and the corporate control of media and government. At the center of the dis-creditation of course is military black ops and shadow government.  Military research and development obviously comes at a price. We can have an educated guess at this with Donald Rumsfelt announcement on 10 september 2001 yes the day before 9/11

Disclosure is now becoming the Exposure of those facts that have been locked in black vaults and kept from public scrutiny.  OK call us conspiracy theorists  that’s fine but let me remind you that evolution, relativity and even black holes are all theories.

After all in an infinite universe, comes infinite possibilities…..
