The Mysterious Genius Who Patented the UFO

Alexander Weygers, a Renaissance man in the mold of the tech industry’s stated ideal, inspired an art dealer to become an acolyte.
 

Alexander Weygers made numerous detailed drawings of an aircraft called the “Discopter”, a vertical liftoff aircraft that looked very much like what was to be later termed “flying saucer” and other drawings of an American cities specifically flying saucers in San Francisco and as well as a port in Chicago.

He sent these detailed plans to all the branches of the U.S. Military and was eventually told that they were intrigued by the concept and the design of the craft but were not prepared at that time because the war effort superseded its development.

However he did indeed patent the design for the “Discopter” in January 1944 with the U.S. Patent Office and it served as the prototype for other similar aircraft that have been developed up to the present day.

Ashlee Vance visits the dealer whose curiosity about Weygers has evolved into an obsession.

Eerste Russische kosmonauten in 2031 naar de maan - HLN.be

Bron: Belga

Rusland wil ook deelnemen aan het Amerikaanse project voor een ruimtestation, dat rond de maan draait. De constructie ervan zou in 2034 kunnen beginnen, aldus het rapport. Gehoopt wordt dat vanaf daar vluchten diep in de ruimte mogelijk zijn. Voor de bouw van een dergelijk station, ontwikkelt Rusland zware raketten, zei de baas van Roskosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, eind vorig jaar.
Rusland wil met de maanmissie terug aanknopen waar de Sovjetunie tientallen jaren geleden stopte. Na technische ongelukken bevroor Moskou in de jaren zeventig zijn dure plannen voor een maanlanding. Deze keer werken de Russen bij de exploratie van de maan samen met de VS, Europa en China.

Two geologists who were on a field trip to study volcanic rocks in Namibia came upon another huge discovery – Africa once had ice streams. Graham Andrews and Sarah Brown, who are geologists at West Virginia University, were exploring the South African desert country when they noticed an odd land formation.

The land consisted of flat desert along with hundreds of steep, long hills. The landscape was shaped by drumlins which are hills that are commonly found in areas that once had glaciers. Needless to say, glaciers – even ancient ones – are not what one would expect in the desert.

Andrews explained that they knew exactly what they were looking at, “We quickly realized what we were looking at because we both grew up in areas of the world that had been under glaciers, me in Northern Ireland and Sarah in northern Illinois.”

Once Andrews returned home from the trip, he did some research on the drumlins in Namibia but found out that nobody had ever studied them. He said, “The last rocks we were shown on the trip are from a time period when southern Africa was covered by ice,” adding, “People obviously knew that part of the world had been covered in ice at one time, but no one had ever mentioned anything about how the drumlins formed or that they were even there at all.”

That’s when he partnered up with Andy McGrady, who is a geology senior at West Virginia University, and they used morphometrics to measure the shapes of the drumlins to see if they could find any regular patterns from when they were carved by the ice.

Normal glaciers don’t move a lot, but they discovered that there are big grooves in the drumlins that indicate that the ice must have been fast-moving in order to create the grooves. Those large grooves indicate that there was in fact an ice stream in the southern part of Africa around 300 million years ago during the late Paleozoic Age.

“The ice carved big, long grooves in the rock as it moved,” Andrews explained, “It wasn’t just that there was ice there, but there was an ice stream. It was an area where the ice was really moving fast.”

What they discovered shows that the southern part of Africa was over the South Pole during that time period. “These features provide yet another tie between southern Africa and south America to show they were once joined,” Andrews confirmed.

They published their paper in the Public Library of Science’s PLOS One journal which can be read by clicking on the link.

For some unknown reason, UFO reports seem to be on the decline even in the face of recent so-called “disclosures” of government research into unidentified aerial phenomena. What’s behind this mysterious decline? Have we become jaded and over-saturated with UFO reports thanks to the innumerable conspiracy YouTube channels publishing endless streams of shaky, out-of-focus videos of lens flares, or could something else be afoot?

As all things UFOs, it’s hard to say. Whatever the cause is, there seems to have been a sharp decrease in annual UFO sightings reported since 2014. That’s according to Cheryl Costa, a reporter with the Syracuse News Times who tracks NUFORC reports throughout the state of New York. According to her most recently published data, UFO sighting reports peaked in 2012 with 378, only to begin dropping in 2014. In 2018, only 103 sightings were reported in New York.

It’s important to remember that the term ‘UFO’ doesn’t necessarily imply an extraterrestrial craft, merely something unidentified in the skies.

New York’s downward trend is reflective of national data; UFO sighting reports nationwide in the US peaked in 2014 with 13,985 and fell to just 6,933 in 2018, a 50% decline. Despite the decrease, UFO hot spots Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona once again remain at the top of the list of cities with the highest numbers of UFO sightings, with 52 and 40, respectively. What’s behind this decrease in UFO sightings? Is this a sociological phenomenon, or are anomalous objects actually disappearing from our skies?

One would think that UFO sightings would be increasing along with the rise of aerial drones, but the opposite is true. Could it be that drones have created a go-to explanation and have led to fewer anomalous aerial phenomena to be reported? Or are urban light pollution and the digital zombification caused by mobile technology keeping us from gazing up at the skies as much as we used to? Is that all by design? Any guess is as good as any at this point.

Shhh. Quit asking questions and keep your eyes pointed downward at your device. Always at your device.

Are people losing interest in UFOs due to over-saturation, or are these phenomena actually less frequent than they once were? For those of us who track and research anomalous phenomena for a living, either explanation should be worrying.

When the CIA released millions of declassified documents in 2017 and placed them in a searchable online database, it was expected that some seriously spooky stuff would turn up. It’s public knowledge that the CIA has conducted research into all sorts of paranormal or otherwise anomalous phenomena ranging from psychic abilities to UFOs, but a new trove of documents discovered among the millions of files has revealed the US intelligence agency even once went looking for the legendary Yeti in the mountains of Nepal. Was the ever-elusive abominable snow man-ape ever found?

Who knows; after all, the CIA likely released these documents merely to placate the public under the guise of transparency and is withholding the really good stuff in dusty warehouses full of the world’s higher mysteries and secrets. Still, these new documents add to a growing body of evidence showing that the CIA may take paranormal phenomena or entities including the Yeti seriously – or at least purport to in order to cover its tracks.

The documents were unearthed and posted online by Amish Raj Mulmi at the Kathmandu Post. In addition to the Yeti documents, the files show that the CIA took interest in at least seven different sightings of unidentified flying objects above Nepal and Bhutan in 1968. The unidentified objects described in the reports range from a “white light” emitting “blasting sounds” and “white smoke” to fast-moving cigar shape objects reminiscent of many other UFO sightings from the time period. Here are the “Particulars of the Object” from one report from 19 February, 1968:

A fast-moving object, long and thin, emitting red and green bright light, as bright as to cause daylight. Thunder sound heard after few second of sighting object.

Sure sounds an awful lot like a ballistic missile test or high-altitude aircraft breaking the sound barrier (aircraft typically have red and green navigation lights on the left and right wingtips, respectively). That would make sense given the historical and political context surrounding these sightings, which happened at the height of US involvement in the Vietnam War and at a time when the relatively newly-formed People’s Republic of China was ramping up their missile research, nuclear weapons program, and domestic aircraft production.

An early Chinese Shenyang J-8 from the 1960s.

Naturally, then, the CIA would have wanted to document any sightings of anomalous aerial objects in case they might shed light on what the Chinese or Soviets were up to in the skies above the region. One report even mentions that  “huge metallic disc-shaped object with a six-foot base and four feet in height was found in a crater” at the foot of the Himalayas. Could this have been a crashed Soviet or Chinese aircraft or missile, or something stranger?

China and Nepal share a mountainous border with several ports of entry like the “Crisscross road” seen here.

The documents discovered by the Kathmandu Post also contain a cable sent 30 November, 1959 from the American Embassy in Kathmandu to the Department of State in Washington, D.C. The document outlines America’s official “Regulations Governing Mountain Climbing Expeditions in Nepal – Related to Yeti” and describe what American personnel conducting so-called “Mountaineering and Scientific Expeditions in Nepal” should do in the event of contact with the Yeti:

1. Royalty of Rs. 5000/- Indian Currency will have to be paid to His Majesty’s Government of Nepal for a permit to carry out an expedition in search of ‘Yeti.’

2. In case ‘Yeti’ is traced it can be photographed or caught alive but it must not be killed or shot at except in an emergency arising out of self defence. All photographs taken of the animal, the creature itself if captured alive or dead, must be surrendered to the Government of Nepal at the earliest time.

3. News and reports throwing light on the actual existence of the creature must be submitted to the Government of Nepal as soon as they are available and must not in anyway way be given out to the Press or Reporters for publicity without the permission of the Government of Nepal.

While hardcore ‘Squatchers may point to this document as proof of the US government’s knowledge of the legendary Yeti, it very well may be that these cables were actually using the Yeti to hide the true nature of these alleged “Mountaineering and Scientific Expeditions.” In the late 1950s, the CIA and the US government were deeply concerned with the spread of Chinese communist forces throughout the region as the Chinese were actively asserting their presence along the border with Nepal. It could be that the Yeti hunt was actually a cover for spies to keep tabs on the PRC’s activities in the region. It’s known that the CIA and other intelligence agencies often use “scientific expeditions” as a cover to send agents into the field; if you replace every instance of “Yeti” in the document with “Chinese spies or scouts,” these cables begin to make a lot more sense.

It’s long been suspected that intelligence agencies intentionally muddy the waters by using alleged paranormal activity to cover their tracks.

While these documents are far from a smoking gun, they may show how the government study of anomalous phenomena can be used to mask the true purpose of the CIA’s or other agencies’ intelligence gathering activities. Could the CIA actually have been hunting the legendary Yeti and gathering reports of truly unidentified aerial phenomena? It’s possible – but it’s highly more probable that they were keeping tabs on the USA’s favorite frenemy, the PRC. What might these documents suggest about the Pentagon’s modern day study of UFOs?

Dulce Base 2019 - What REALLY Happens Deep Underground is Astounding!

Located almost two miles beneath Archuleta Mesa on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation near Dulce, New Mexico was an installation classified so secret, its existence would be one of the most protected realities in the world.

In the following video we will look at the Secret Space Program: the ships of the Deep Space Fleet; interstellar/interspecies treaty conferences on Earth; non-human species who work with the military; Mark Richards' training with the Raptor Imperial Fleet; and, various missions on-and-off Earth to defend humanity.

In 1979 there was the human-extraterrestrial confrontation that took place at Dulce Base. The most detailed report comes from Phil Schneider, a former military geologist who worked on underground military bases.

Image left: Phil Schneider - Learn more about his experiments at the Dulce Base Here.

Philip Schneider, an explosive engineer who worked for the U.S. government, with high-level security clearance, claimed that in 1979 he participated in the building of a "secret underground base," in Dulce, New Mexico.

It was here that a horrific battle played out leaving 60 humans dead and countless subterranean aliens fighting for their life.

Schneider asserts that he was suspicious of the engineering operation while noticing the presence of Green Berets and Special Forces. His fears were realized when after drilling underground he came face-to-face with a 7-foot tall, stinky, gray alien.

Obviously he freaked out and grabbed a pistol he was carrying and shot and killed two aliens. Another alien shot some laser-plasma ball or whatever at him and blew off some of his fingers.

He was saved by a Green Beret who allegedly gave his life for him. In all, 60 human-people allegedly lost their lives that day at the "Alien-Human Battle of Dulce."

"There's a war under there and it's been going on since that time," he said. He spoke of 1,477 underground bases around the world, 129 of which were located in the United States. Each cost $17 billion or more.

He said the Black Budget, hidden from other U.S. government agencies and from the public, garners 25 percent of the gross national product. Military forces from multiple countries have been engaged in such warfare with aliens, he said.

In the video Jo Ann speaks about her knowledge of operations and secret meetings that these men were involved with. She shares information about numerous alien species, the secret space fleet, and battles with aliens on- and off-world.

Formation Cigar-shaped UFOs traveling through space next to the Orion Nebula

On February 3, 2019 a sky-watcher using a telescope Skywhatcher 8” with camera ZWO-AS1174MM-USB3 captured a formation of three cigar-shaped UFOs traveling through space next to the Orion Nebula (M42)

The footage shows the Orion Nebula and surrounding space when suddenly a white colored large cigar-shaped UFO appears out of knowhere with two cigar-shaped UFOs on each side of the craft. The two UFOs are less visible, maybe they fly at a further distance from the white colored UFO.

Together they fly in a formation where a fourth cigar-shaped UFO follows at some distance behind the three huge alien craft.. Given the distance they cover in a very short time, the speed must be enormous.

With all the other older footage's of UFOs near the Orion Nebula, this footage is again proof that many of these interstellar alien spacecraft are present in the Orion Nebula sector.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion.

M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth.

Disc-shaped UFO that causes condensation?

 by Brian

Disc-shaped UFO that causes condensation is a small but very interesting object in the photo. It shows what I believe is the process of some kind of condensation at the bottom of this craft. The special feature with UFOs and condensation is evident throughout my photos on site. Extraterrestrial vessels cause condensation as terrestrial aircraft´s do, just in a different way.

As you can see in the above picture, the disc-shaped object is very small. But thanks to high-resolution DSLR photography, we can magnify the image more than normal before the object gets screwed in the pixels.

So far so good. The disc-shaped UFO has been magnified to a very satisfying extent, but it´s still very faint in the above picture. Let´s bring it into Adobe Photoshop and use some filters. First filter I use is Auto Contrast with some extra Brightness, see below.

Finally, the disc appears with a metallic finish on top and black in the middle at the bottom. At the absolute bottom of this disc, white material, or a substance, is emitted or is just there stationary. That´s how I see it. You might see something else?

The last picture above was processed with Auto Tone in Photoshop and shows a clear metallic round object.

The pictures here originates from a photo investigation inside a secluded pasture where I had a creature UFO sighting on May 24. And because of that UFO sighting, I decided to visit the site again on May 25. I had my Canon EOS 60D DSLR camera with me and it produced 173 images and this UFO gallery with 43 hi-res UFO photos.

Disc-shaped UFO is a paraglider?

The white material or substance that is beneath the disc-shaped UFO has a strange shape. It is bent downwards away from the craft? One should think that a paraglider just passed below the object. Well, I did not see any paraglider while I was there. I have seen a paraglider in the area before but not with a white parachute. Even if the paraglider was there, the disc above would still be a mystery!

Because of the high-resolution photography, it would have revealed the paraglider him- or her self including the ropes connecting her/him to the parachute. So the thing below the disc-shaped UFO is NOT a paraglider but something else.

Disc-shaped UFO and condensation?

I have a few photos with UFOs that emits what looks like condensation and in different ways. Sometimes it looks like they are using a cloud to hide in and I wonder if they create clouds for that specific purpose? And sometimes it looks like they emit, or cause condensation like an aircraft does, but different.

If the disc-shaped UFO here really causes condensation I cannot know for sure? But something strange is happening beneath the craft and it is not something on the lens. It is ON the object. What could it be? A field? I adhere to that some objects have this cloud-white material on them or it is trailing them. Some kind of additional phenomenon is maybe evident here?

Explore the “Condensation”-TAG to see the other unidentified flying objects related to possible cloud creation and condensation.

Soviet secrets: Are there dead cosmonauts in orbit above Earth?

ALEX HOLLINGS

On April 12^th, 1961, a Russian man named Yuri Gagarin made history aboard a Soviet Vostok 3KA-3 spacecraft. For years, the United States and Soviet Union had been using the barrier between our world and beyond as a benchmark to test each nation’s greatest technological and engineering advances, and on that day, Gagarin achieved an incredible victory for the communist nation: he flew in space.

The space race was about far more than national pride, however, it was truly about global supremacy. Each nation recognized the final frontier as both a tactical advantage for military operations and a public relations necessity – competition put the American people behind spending the money required to go up against the Red giant, and victory would benefit morale nationwide. However, the Soviets did not need the public’s approval for expenditures, opting instead to announce each mission toward the unknown only after its successful completion, leaving their people under the impression that the Soviet program was incapable of failure.

In recent years, however, stories have begun to emerge about failed Soviet space missions and their policy of ensuring the media, the public, and their American competition never learned of their missteps.

Photographs surfaced in the 1970s depicting early Cosmonauts (Soviet Astronauts) at work and on vacation with one another, but because of confusion regarding which photographs had been published, Soviet news managers accidentally released never before seen versions of the images. When previously published images were compared to the images that were released in the seventies, inconsistencies began to surface. Most notable among these issues were missing Cosmonauts; the Soviet government had actually airbrushed entire people out of group photographs, opting to pretend these men were never a part of the program to begin with.

When confronted about these alterations, the Soviet Government made a number of fumbled attempts at explaining why they felt the need to forge the images released to the public. Finally, in the final years of Soviet reign, Gorbachev instructed Soviet journalists and historians to determine what truly happened to these “missing” and omitted men. Their research revealed that most had been expelled from the program for behavior that made them unsuitable to be seen as heroes for the nation or had developed medical conditions that prohibited them from participating in space flight. According to reports, the Soviet government had opted to remove them from records completely rather than explain away their failures in public.

All of this did little to sway American beliefs that the Soviets, even years after America claimed victory in the space race by landing on the moon, had more to hide than they were letting on. While some Americans have gone so far as to travel to Russia to meet with some of these redacted cosmonauts to verify Soviet stories, not all of the men can be accounted for officially.

American author and former NASA mission control scientist, James Oberg, was one of the first to notice the inconsistencies in the Soviet images and, although he has written at length about his beliefs regarding these “lost” cosmonauts in books like “Uncovering Soviet Disasters,” he seems fairly convinced in recent years that the Soviets were telling the truth about these redactions, and that most, if not all, of these missing cosmonauts were simply removed from the space program photographs to protect their flawless reputation.

Possibly the most damning, or at least the most controversial, evidence to suggest that the Soviet space program was not nearly as flawless as they contended at the time, were reports of a pair of Italian brothers that recorded radio transmissions prior to and after Gagarin’s historic flight that seemed to indicate manned orbital missions going awry.

The Judica-Cordiglia brothers were amateur hand radio operators that released a number of recordings in 1963 that they claimed were recorded during the Soviet’s most intense period of attempts to put a cosmonaut in space; attempts which they claim began in 1960, nearly a year prior to Gagarin’s successful mission.

According to the brothers, in May of 1960 they recorded a Morse code message indicating that a manned Soviet spacecraft had drifted dangerously off course. Then, on November 28^th, 1960, another Morse code signal, this time an SOS distress call, was recorded as another spacecraft reportedly left Earth’s orbit. In February of 1961, they recorded a cosmonaut audibly suffocating to death while attempting to contact mission control, then in April, they tracked Gagarin’s vessel as it made three successful orbits around Earth before reentering. The Soviets announced Gagarin’s success three days after the brothers claim to have tracked his flight path.

The recordings did not stop there, however. In May, the brothers claimed to have recorded another craft’s distress call as it slipped out of orbit, then again in October and November. In November of 1963, the brothers said they recorded a female cosmonaut pleading for help as her craft burned up during reentry. A final death, according to these brothers, occurred in April of 1964, again due to failed heat shielding during the return flight.

There are confirmed reports of Soviets dying in their pursuit of space flight, but these reports were often not confirmed until after the fall of the Soviet Union and in the face of overwhelming evidence. Gagarin’s own best friend died in an orbital mission. According to claims, he was aware that his mission was likely to fail due to a number of structural issues on the vessel, but opted to fly anyway to prevent his friend and backup pilot, the Soviet hero Gagarin, from having to take the risk. While it is confirmed that Vladimir Kamarov died during the failed re-entry of his Soyuz 1 capsule, rumors continue to surface about his final minutes, in which many claim he railed against the Soviet regime and faulted them for his impending death.

Twenty-two Americans have died as a result of our own efforts to extend mankind’s reach beyond our tiny blue dot. The task is incredibly dangerous and the men and women of every nation’s space program should be heralded for their bravery, but if claims about Soviet efforts to erase the lives of men and women that were lost in pursuit of victory over America are even partially true, it would add a dark lens to how we perceive all Soviet accomplishments during the era.

Site of alleged 1947 UFO crash changes hands

By Lisa Dunlap

 

The 1947 UFO crash site is under new management.

Bogle Ltd. Co. of Dexter has sold the Lincoln County ranching property about 75 miles northwest of Roswell to Dinwiddie Cattle Co. LLC.

Something crashed in 1947 at what was then the J.B. Foster ranch, with the U.S. Army announcing it had recovered a “flying disc” but later saying the debris was merely the remnants of a high-altitude weather balloon. Speculation about extraterrestrials and government cover-ups has existed ever since, inspiring books, movies and TV shows as well as serious scholarship and research.

A deed filed with the Lincoln County Clerk’s Office shows that the crash-site property was transferred to the Dinwiddie Cattle Co. Nov. 26. The Lincoln County Assessor’s Office indicates the property is a bit larger than 78 acres.

Tommy Dinwiddie said the parcel happens to be part of a much larger land purchase for the cattle company’s ranching operations.

Without a strong personal interest in the UFO connection at this time, Dinwiddie said he can’t say for sure whether the crash-site property will be made available to the public.

“I just don’t know a whole lot about it,” Dinwiddie said. “The guy who is running the ranch over there for me knows quite a bit about it, and after we kind of get our feet on the ground running it, we will do some more talking about it and figuring out what we want to do.”

The Bogle family hosted tours of the site during the most recent UFO Festival in July, marking the first time that the group provided visitor access during its 66 years of ownership of the land. Prior to that, only researchers or documentary makers were given permission to be on the property.

The public’s fascination with the “Roswell Incident” and other UFO and extraterrestrial matters created a new tourism focus for the area, with numerous UFO-related businesses and events created as a result. The Roswell’s International UFO Museum Research Center now attracts more than 200,000 visitors worldwide each year, and the week-long UFO Festival brings in more than 30,000 tourists each summer.

‘The Blair Witch Project’ Creator Returns With ‘Skyman’ – A Found Footage UFO “Docu-Drama”

By Vince Hoover

It’s been 20 years since the release of the groundbreaking “found footage” movie, The Blair Witch Project, scared audiences everywhere, and changed the horror genre forever. Now, one of the men behind the phenomenon, co-writer and director, Daniel Myrick, returns to this unique horror style with a new “documentary” horror film revolving around UFO’s. Called Skyman, the “documentary” follows Carl Merryweather, who swears he was visited by a “Skyman” while camping when he was ten.

Now, thirty years later, something is calling him back to the same spot, for some kind of reunion, and he intends to document the whole thing. Needless to say, things may not go smoothly for Carl.

The first trailer for the film was debuted at the Slamdance Festival (kind of like the more ‘out there’ little brother to Sundance) in Park City, Utah, on January 28^th. A fuller trailer will be coming later this year. The film itself is set to be released towards the end of 2019.

Myrick co-created The Blair Witch Project with Eduardo Sanchez, but even after the incredible success of the film, the two haven’t worked together on a project since, going their separate ways on various projects (none of which came within a fraction of the success of their first project). Now, going back to his roots, Myrick hopes to catch fire once again with this Aline based docu-drama.

The realistic feel of these “found footage” style movies have garnered success after Blair Witch, like Paranormal Activity and the alien based The 4^th Kind, which was critically panned but it actually rather terrifying. As the Father of this style, hopefully Myrick can catch lightning in a bottle a second time and give us a scary alien film that feels all to real.

TRAVIS BARKER AND TOM DELONGE USED TO LOOK FOR UFOS TOGETHER

"Loaded," he adds.

By Philip Trapp

 

[Photo via Spotify]

“Let’s get high and look for UFOS.”

So illustrates Travis Barker of a typical suggestion his one-time blink-182 bandmate Tom Delonge would utter to him on tour. In fact, the once and current blink drummer says that, back in the day, he and DeLonge would partake in various substances to fuel their sleepless UFO searches. All from the comfort of the blink-182 tour bus, of course.

“He used to get loaded and just look out the bus window,” Barker tells comedian Joe Rogan as a recent guest on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. “And I used to do it with him as, I don’t know, kind of a bonding experience.”

Watch the part of the interview, below.

“With Tom, that was his thing,” Barker adds. “Like, fucking let’s get high and look for UFOs. So we would! We’d just sit there and, like, stare out the bus window, look at UFOs. He would even go as far as, when we were on tour, like, ‘Let’s go and fucking look for Bigfoot.’ Whatever it was, you know? He would assemble a crew and they would go do it.”

But does the drummer actually believe in the extraterrestrial beings he once sought with DeLonge? While Barker confirms he never attended one of the Angels & Airwavessinger’s apparent Bigfoot trips, he doesn’t deny that aliens might exist.

“I feel like it could be real,” he tells Rogan. “I believe. But I’m not dedicating my life to search for it, you know? And I give it to him, man. To, like, honestly … to walk away from your fucking very successful band to go do that shit? … I have nothing but respect for his passion. But I couldn’t do that. It really shows, like, he’s very, very passionate about it.”

And what else does DeLonge seem passionate about? Mermen:

Tom DeLonge, I am extremely interested to receive your input about the t.v. documentary, "Mermaid's" which, originally aired on Animal Planet...Many claim it is fake animation and they have done everything to discredit the scientists who were a part of the endeavor. What say u?

Syfy Takes Robert Zemeckis UFO Show ‘Project Blue Book’ for U.K.

By ROBERT MITCHELL

Syfy has acquired A+E Networks’ sci-fi historical drama “Project Blue Book” for the U.K., it was announced Thursday by Syfy’s parent company, NBC Universal International Networks.

Executive produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, “Project Blue Book” is based on a real-life U.S. government operation of the same name and centers on the investigation by the U.S. Air Force into UFO sightings in the 1950s and ’60s. It was created by writer David O’Leary, who also serves as an executive producer.

Aiden Gillen stars as a brilliant yet underappreciated college astrophysics professor who is recruited to head the clandestine operation. Along with his Air Force captain partner (Michael Malarkey), who is assigned to debunk the stories, he is summoned to investigate UFO sightings around the country and uses science to discover what really happened. However, when some encounters cannot be explained and cases remain open, he begins to suspect that he has been duped by the government into a larger conspiracy to cover up the truth.

“This acquisition is uniquely suited for Syfy U.K. and, with top talent both in front [of] and behind the camera, we know viewers will be instantly hooked by these compelling, mysterious case files,” said Lee Raftery, managing director U.K. & emerging markets and chief marketing & content officer, NBC Universal International.

Neal McDonough, Michael Harney, Laura Mennell, and Ksenia Solo co-star. Brad Van Arragon serves as producer with series executive producers also including Sean Jablonski, Jacqueline Levine, Jack Rapke, Arturo Interian, and Barry Josen.

The 10-part series will premiere on Syfy in March. It debuted in the U.S. on the History Channel on Jan. 9.

AAN HET EINDE DER GELIJKE TIJDEN ZUL JE VREEMDE GEZICHTEN ZIEN... ( VIDEO )

Een eeuwenoude voorspelling uit de bijbel zegt dat we tegen het einde der tijden vreemde gezichten zullen zien. 

En wanneer we dan kijken naar wat er om ons heen gebeurt, dan kan je eigenlijk maar één ding concluderen.

Eeuwen geleden is het al in de bijbel voorspeld: “Aan het einde der tijden zult gij vreemde gezichten zien”. Wanneer ik zo eens om me heen kijk en het internet rond speur kan ik niets anders concluderen dan dat wij leven in het einde der tijden. Ook de Maya’s hebben eeuwen geleden al voorspeld dat 2012 het jaar zou zijn van een groot omslagpunt, het einde van een langdurig tijdperk.

Het jaar is 2012 is daar ook goed omschreven, want we weten inmiddels dat dit jaar inderdaad een omslagpunt was, waarbij de aardbevingen letterlijk in een stroomversnelling gingen. We zijn inmiddels alweer jaren verder en de aarde gaat tekeer als nooit tevoren.

Wanneer je regelmatig beelden bekijkt van wat er zoal gebeurt, dan zou je bijna bang worden en iedere keer als je denkt dat het niet veel heftiger kan worden, dan gebeurt dit toch weer en wordt er wederom een of ander record gebroken.

We krijgen van meerdere kanten tekenen dat dit inderdaad wel eens de eindtijd zou kunnen zijn. Zoals bijvoorbeeld tekenen uit de natuur, zoals onlangs ook weer in Japan.

Iets waar men in dat land als de dood voor is, is de riemvis. 

Riemvissen (Regalecidae) vormen een familie uit de orde van de koningsvissen. Riemvissen komen overal voor in het open water van de oceanen. De vissen kunnen zeer lang worden, de ('gewone') riemvis tot 11 meter. De vissen hebben geen aarsvin, wel een zeer lange rugvin die voor op de kop begint. De eerste acht tot tien vinstralen van de rugvin zijn helder rood gekleurd en opvallend lang. De vissen hebben kleine ogen en geen tanden.

Het is niet dat men zozeer bang is voor wat deze vis hen kan aandoen, als wel de boodschap die deze vis brengt. In Japan hebben deze vissen een heel speciale betekenis en het volgende is wat wij hier al eerder over schreven.

In maart 2010 viel Japanse vissers een sterke toename van het aantal riemvissen op die of aanspoelden of werden gesignaleerd. Dat was in dezelfde maand dat er een heel krachtige aardbeving was van 8.8 op de schaal van Richter in Chili. Een die zo heftig was, dat men vermoedt dat de aardas zelfs iets is verschoven. 

Omdat normaal gesproken deze vissen op een diepte van zo’n 1.000 meter leven is het ongewoon als ze naar de oppervlakte komen en volgens de Japanse folklore gebeurt dit als waarschuwing voor een op handen zijnde aardbeving. Volgens sommige wetenschappers kan hier misschien wel waarheid in schuilen, omdat vissen die op de bodem van de zee wonen, gevoeliger zijn voor seismische veranderingen. 

In de maanden voor de zware aardbeving in Japan in maart 2011, werden er meer dan een dozijn aangespoelde riemvissen gesignaleerd die of waren aangespoeld of die verstrikt waren geraakt in de netten van vissers. Dit gebeurde in de districten Ishikawa, Toyama, Kyoto, Shimane en Nagasaki. Allemaal vlak in de buurt van het epicentrum van de aardbeving. 

Nu schijnt het echter weer te beginnen en zijn er aan de Japanse westkust de afgelopen weken drie exemplaren of aangespoeld of gevangen in de netten van vissers.

De lokale sociale media gaan in overdrive en veel Japanners zetten zich schrap voor wellicht een volgende grote aardbeving, al dan niet met tsunami.

Het is slechts één van de vele ongewone dingen die zich voor doen. Ook bij ons hebben we nu te maken met een onverklaarbaar verschijnsel in de natuur:

De afgelopen weken zijn ruim 20.000 zeekoeten doodgegaan. "Dat is veel", zegt onderzoeker Mardik Leopold van de Wageningse universiteit. "Zo'n massale sterfte kennen we alleen uit de jaren 80 en 90." Dagelijks wordt er op elke kilometer strand langs de Nederlandse kust zo'n dode vogel gevonden. En dagelijks worden tientallen zieke, magere en ernstig verzwakte dieren bij de vogelasiels langs de kust binnengebracht. "Er is sprake van een alarmfase." De doodsoorzaak is nog niet duidelijk, al wordt er wel gezocht naar een verklaring.

Natuurlijk komt er een verklaring met een oorzaak. Er komt altijd een verklaring met een oorzaak, ook al hebben ze geen flauw idee wat het heeft veroorzaakt. Een verklaring met oorzaak is nodig om ervoor te zorgen dat de bevolking rustig verder slaapt en geen lastige vragen gaat stellen.

Maar, wat misschien nog wel het meest indringende van alles is, zijn beelden. Neem heel even de tijd en kijk wat er zoal gebeurde aan heftige dingen in de laatste dagen van januari. 



Naast beelden zijn er geluiden. Geluiden die ergens vandaan komen en niemand weet waar. Geluiden die door merg en been gaan en waarvan je instinctief voelt dat ze niet alledaags zijn.

En de mens die bezig is onder de ontzielende leiding van de Saoedische kroonprins Mohammed Bin Salman de bouw van een New World Order stad, genaamd Neom. Dat niet alleen, die stad wordt gebouwd precies bij de Sinaïberg, de plek waar Mozes de tien geboden kreeg. Dit stuk land en de bijbehorende historie wordt verstopt gehouden door de Saoedi's en het is zelfs afgezet en ontoegankelijk gemaakt voor het publiek.

In the paranormal reporting business, there are occasionally stories that make you want to pass because there’s no way they can be true. And yet, with many of them, it’s not the first time an incident like it has happened and there could be more to it. Such is the case of a small report in the Mountain Reporter about an accident on a California highway that the driver insists was caused by extraterrestrials. Does this sound familiar to you?

“The man was not transported for his injuries and his claims of “alien intervention” during the traffic accident are under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.”

That’s the most interesting line of the brief account in theMountain Reporter of a traffic accident on State Route 18, the main highway into the rugged San Bernardino mountains in Southern California. Three California Highway Patrol units arrived at the scene around 1:30 pm to find a white Ford E350 van overturned. (Photo of the van here.) Why were three CHP cars in such a remote area near Rimforest?

“According to CHP transcripts of the original 911 call, the driver adamantly stated that his van was flipped over by aliens.”

A similar white Ford van

No incident report was available and the Mountain Reporter didn’t say if the driver – never named — was tested for impairment … the logical first thought in these types of incidents. However, those who follow UFO reports will know that unidentified flying objects have sometimes been said to stop cars and cause accidents. A series of such incidents occurred in 1965 in England and became known as the ‘Warminster Thing’. Many people reported hearing mysterious booms and seeing an orange flame in the sky emitting hisses and crackles. Among the reports were incidents of moving cars stopping after either the boom was heard or the flash was seen. While investigated for over 50 years, the mystery of the Warminster Thing and its effect on cars has never been solved.

No question what caused this accident … or is there?

Then there’s the “Val Johnson incident.”

This year (2019) marks the 40th anniversary of a police car accident in Marshall County, Minnesota, which the driver, Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson, blamed on a UFO. Johnson never changed his story from his original report of a bright beam of light heading towards his car, then surrounding it and rendering him unconscious. He claimed to be out for 39 minutes, during which time his watch stopped for 14 minutes, his windshield was shattered, lights were damaged and an antenna bent. Johnson had bruises and eye damage which a doctor compared to welder’s burn – a severe irritation caused by staring at a welder’s flame. Johnson refused to take a lie detector test but his testimony was accepted because of his clean record as a sheriff and because examinations of the accident scene and the car (which is on display at the Settler’s Square Historical Museum in Warren, MN) by professionals and UFO investigators could not definitively identify the cause of the accident and damages. Non-believers say either Johnson concocted the story to hide an accident or he was a victim of a prank gone bad.

Will more information come out about the “alien intervention” accident in California? We’ll keep watching. Was it a DUI? Let’s hope not. Will it become a San Bernardino Thing or a Rimforest incident? Let’s hope so … we need some good new UFO stories.

We’ve always known that the wars of the future would be fought with laser weapons and, well, here we are in the future. The militaries of all three of the world’s superpowers – China, Russia, and the US – are busy developing laser weapons presumably capable of zapping a human being into dust in mere seconds. Or at least causing an excruciatingly painful burn. I mean, it’s 2019 after all. If we can’t have flying cars we might as well have giant death ray lasers, right?

Or tiny handheld laser pistols, I’m not picky.

This week, government and technology watchdog site Nextgov spotted a curious document published by the Naval Surface Warfare Center at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The weapons research facility published a solicitation for contractors to bid on destruction services, a fairly common occurrence in top-secret research circles. However, the nature of the materials to be destroyed is somewhat conspicuous: the Navy needs someone to destroy 4,000 pounds of hard disks and other digital media related to its laser weapons research and to do so with the utmost secrecy and security. What does this mean for the US military’s research into directed energy weapons?

It’s hard to say, as all of the materials slated for destruction are classified. The call for bids states that for an incineration facility to be considered for the contract, it must be within ten driving hours of White Sands Missile Range, be capable of destroying the materials down to ash within eight to ten hours, and have “at the minimum, secure entry, 24-hour armed guards and 24/7 camera surveillance with recordable date and time capabilities.” What could be stored in these media that’s so sensitive?

The US Navy has for some time been looking into using “directed energy weapons” like lasers to shoot down drones and missiles.

According to Nextgov, the Navy’s call for bids disappeared within hours. Has someone won the contract to destroy all of this secret weapons research? What does this revelation mean for the Navy’s development of directed energy weapons? Have they perfected a design and no longer need all of the prototypes and test data produced along the way? As with all things related to secret weapons research, we’ll likely never know – until the laser beams start flying.

Invest in welding goggles.
