A new space-based tool is launching in five years that will search for extraterrestrial life.

A new study suggests that white dwarf stars can support habitable planets. RedOrbit explains that researchers demonstrated that “it should be possible to detect biomarkers surrounding these habitable planets – including methane and oxygen – that indicate the presence of life using advanced technology that will become available in the next decade.”

This advanced technology will be aboard NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that is scheduled to launch in 2018.  According to the Daily Galaxy, Professor Avi Loeb, director of Harvard University’s Institute for Theory and Computation, who led the recent study, explains, “In the quest for extraterrestrial biological signatures, the first stars we study should be white dwarfs.” Professor Dan Maoz of Tel Aviv University, who was part of the research team, agrees with Loeb. He states that, by using the JWST to examine planets orbiting white dwarf stars, if “all the conditions are right, we’ll be able to detect signs of life.”

RedOrbit explains:

JWST is designed to look into the infrared region of the light spectrum where such biomarkers are prominent, making it an ideal instrument for hunting out signs of life on exoplanets. JWST will also be able to analyze the atmosphere of Earth-like planets without weeding out the similar signatures of Earth’s own atmosphere because it will be space-based and not ground-based.

The team’s study was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Video: Former Peruvian Air Force Researcher Confirms Extraterrestrial Existence

Former researcher at the Air Force in Peru confirmed that extraterrestrials are no joke and that they are just hovering somewhere on Earth. Dr. Anthony Choy believes that aliens and UFOs are real and that there are strong proofs showing their existence on the planet.

Dr. Choy, also an attorney, spearheaded the investigation of “The Chulucanas Incident,” in which luminous red-orange ships were reportedly flying over the city of Chulucanas in northern Peru for approximately two and half hours on October 13, 2001. These ships, which were claimed as ufos, were said to be making strange geometric formations in the sky. Starting that day, lights of unknown origin were noticed for 2 days and many have witnessed the events to the point that they used video recordings to document what they saw. Dr. Choy was one of the first who took video of the strange sightings.

The appearance of luminous lights continued on October 25th which was observed over the city’s countryside and in the woods. But on November 15th on that same year marked the sudden panic of population when one of the so called ufos appeared in the city sky.

The investigation into the incident reached its climax when the Peruvian Air Force decided to collaborate with Univision, a popular television channel in the United States of America, to record a distant strange object moving at a tremendous speed in the sky.

Dr. Choy was one of the founders of Ufo Office of the Peruvian Air Force (OIFAA) and the author of the study called “Project 33,” which is all about UFO phenomenon in the country.

Will nuclear-powered spaceships take us to the stars?

(Before It's News)

Osnet Daily

In the 1950s, rocket scientists dreamed of atomic-powered spaceships. Now these far-fetched designs might help a new generation explore the cosmos.

Project Orion has to be the most audacious, dangerous and downright absurd space programme ever funded by the US taxpayer. This 1950s design involved exploding nuclear bombs behind a spacecraft the size of the Empire State Building to propel it through space. The Orion’s engine would generate enormous amounts of energy – and with it lethal doses of radiation.

Plans suggested the spacecraft could take off from Earth and travel to Mars and back in just three months. The quickest flight using conventional rockets and the right planetary alignment is 18 months.

There were obvious challenges – from irradiating the crew and the launch site, to the disruption caused by the electromagnetic pulse, plus the dangers of a catastrophic nuclear accident taking out a sizable portion of the US. But the plan was, nevertheless, given serious consideration. Project Orion was conceived when atmospheric nuclear tests were commonplace and the power of the atom promised us all a bright new tomorrow. Or oblivion. Life was simpler then.

In the early 1960s, common sense prevailed and the project was abandoned, but the idea of nuclear-powered spaceships has never gone away. In fact there are several in the cold depths of space right now.

Nasa’s Nerva project also investigated the use of nuclear engines in space (Adrian Mann) 

The Voyager space probes, currently heading beyond the bounds of the Solar System, and the Cassini spacecraft in orbit around Saturn are fitted with nuclear power plants. These Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) rely on the natural decay of plutonium to generate heat, which is then converted into electricity.

With no moving parts, RTGs are not nuclear reactors and can only generate a few hundred watts of power (the equivalent of a bright lightbulb). But as ambitions for missions deeper into our solar system grow, much larger spaceships propelled by more powerful nuclear generators are back on the agenda.

“Orion was a visionary project,” says Kelvin Long, physicist, engineer and head of the Initiative for Interstellar Studies. “People who are excited about this stuff don’t live in the present, we live in the future.”

Long’s immediate future involves helping to design a starship – a robotic craft that could travel at high speed beyond our Solar System to other nearby stars. A starship travelling at thousands of kilometres per second could reach Mars in weeks, the outer solar system in months and other star systems in years. Long is not alone. There are several other programmes underway, including the 100 Year Starship project backed by the US military research agency, Darpa.

To achieve this goal, the ships will need much more powerful propulsion systems than conventional chemical rockets or solar-powered probes. “It’s all about generating enormous amounts of energy,” says Long. “You can get much more efficient power generation from nuclear systems, such as fission or fusion.”

In the 1970s, the Daedalus project combined a nuclear fusion engine with helium fuel cells (Adrian Mann) 

Fission involves splitting atomic nuclei in a controlled chain reaction to produce energy. Conventional nuclear power stations and the generating plants on nuclear submarines and ships use the technique to make electricity. It is a well established, but not incident-free, science. In the fusion process, on the other hand, the nuclei of atoms are forced together to release energy. It is what powers the Sun, and the hydrogen bomb.

“Fusion produces much more energy, in terms of bang for your buck, compared to fission-based systems,” says Long, explaining why his group’s starship designers favour fusion propulsion. “We know it’s a very efficient process. If you can do it you can produce a power generation system which will move you outside the Solar System and you don’t have to come back for more rocket fuel.”

Power challenge

However, as anyone who has followed the field knows, despite the multi-billion-dollar global effort that has gone into fusion research over the past half century, no one has yet built a fusion reactor that produces more energy then you put in. There is an in-joke among fusion engineers (and their journalist followers) that a viable fusion power plant is always 30 years away.

Undeterred, various concepts for fusion engines have been proposed. One, funded by Nasa, involves a contained atomic reaction that generates a focused beam of charged particles to push the starship along. Apart from the enormous thrust such a system could generate – well in excess of conventional rockets – as you travel around the cosmos you could tap into a ready supply of suitable fuel, such as helium 3.

“There’s helium 3 in the gas giants like Jupiter, absolutely loads of it,” says Long. “You could mine it with huge balloons that you drop into the atmosphere, separate out the helium, load it into your starship and away you go.” It seems that no problem is too big for those who live in the future.

In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Discovery’s design kept the nuclear engines far away from living quarters (MGM) 

 

Most 21st-Century starship designs owe a great deal to the Daedalus interstellar craft, conceived by members of the British Interplanetary Society in the 1970s. Assembled in orbit, like the International Space Station (ISS), and a similar size to Orion, the concept starship was powered by a fusion engine surrounded by bulbous tanks of helium fuel.

But even assuming all this is doable, there remains one particularly sticky problem. It’s the same issue that faced the designers of Project Orion back in the 1950s. You can build and power-up your fusion engine in space to avoid nuclear fallout, but how do you protect your astronauts from dying of radiation sickness?

The Orion solution was to put thick metal or liquid shielding between crew and nuclear material. The latest concepts suggest a better idea might be to build long thin ships, where the engine is several hundred metres away from the habitation modules. Not unlike the spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

If a viable fusion reactor can be developed, Long reckons we could we see a nuclear-powered ship heading out of our immediate cosmic neighbourhood to the stars and planets beyond within the next century. “We would like to see humanity moving outwards and following the pioneers and dreams of the past,” he says. “We feel we’re working towards a future that’s good for humanity.”

Project Orion may have been ill-conceived, foolhardy and environmentally irresponsible, but nuclear power could yet be a tool to take humans to the stars.

Witness: ‘Vanishing’ Men In Black

(Before It's News)

I received the following narrative from a reader:

In 1979 (Rockford, Illinois USA) I was 19 years old, living at home, and I would hang out with a girl pal (met at a then ‘Christian coffee house – the Jesus hippie movement type thing at that time – in 1976). Her and I were experiencing ufo sightings, in September, and in the then UFO Report Magazine, November issue, was the write up of a sightings flapwave in that region in ’79. So my friend and I saw ufos due to that ufo flapwave, most likely.

In the midst of that, this happened:

One day around noon, on a weekend day, I was at her house, where she lived with her widowed elderly father. We were standing in the living room, trying to think of something interesting to go do/see. We were gazing out the large window which faced the front yard, sidewalk, and street. It was a sidestreet, not main thoroughfare, into a quiet old residential neighborhood. Then a spectacle shows up. 2 men. (Not the ‘traditional’ 3). They looked alike. And dressed all in black. I vaguely recollect they were both wearing trenchcoats. Black. Also, black suit, trousers, shoes, tie. White shirt. They seemed to me, average height for an average man, and both thin and pale. Caucasian and pale. Their heads were so very odd. It’s like they had long heads, or had some odd thing sitting atop their heads, that was hair or a hat. Or some kind of hat on hair. All black. Giving the craniums a long appearance.

Well they walked close together shoulder to shoulder down the sidewalk, looking at the window we were behind, appearing to look right at us. My friend and I made the decision to fling open the front door and go out there, and get a closer look at the two men. And discovered,…..NO one there! Like they “vanished into thin air”.

Luckily for me, many years later, actor Dan Ackroyd, disclosed about his own vanishing MIB experience. I also find it fascinating and confirming, that one recent World Bank whistleblower, Karen Hudes, (see YouTube) states that it is a fact, alternate ‘humans’ attend high level “meetings” and have long craniums.

If you go to Facebook, just put my Facebook username Simone Charisse Mendez in the search bar, then you can view my photos.  Click on ‘Albums’, and view the one I call ‘The X Files’. I made drawings, but with my MIB illustration, I did not make the “hair” look long/high -enough-. Should have worked on it more. They are next to another drawing I made, of a tall blonde guy who was intimidating, but I cannot say how extraordinary-or-mundane, that particular incident was. I felt it to be unusual.

The ufo sightings friend and I had, relevant to my above story, are in an illustration by me, there as well. A couple years back, I decided to submit the recounting to Peter Davenport’s National Ufo Reporting Center, where the sighting is in the database for September of 1979 for my state. I’ve had a lot of tricksterish otherworldly and conspiracy type incidents, the MIBs is one of them.

Thanks, Simone.

UFOs photographed cruising over the desert

(Before It's News)

An Open Minds reader sent us a few pictures her mother took of UFOs seemingly cruising over the desert somewhere between Oklahoma and Arizona.

Shemika Brown sent us these images, and says they were captured by her mother. Brown’s mother was traveling from Oklahoma to visit Brown in Arizona. After previewing the pictures she took of the mountains from her car, Brown’s mother spotted these odd objects. She thought they were planes. However, Brown took a closer look and saw they looked more circular.

Here is what she wrote us:

I have three pictures and in these pictures I believe there are three UFOs in them. My mother was driving to Arizona from Oklahoma to visit me. When she  arrived that night she showed me all the pictures she had taken while in the mountains. That’s when she discovered the three objects in the picture. My mother thought that it might have been planes. So I began to look at the pictures and it was clear to me that these were in fact not airplanes! Airplane don’t fly together like that! I proceeded to further investigate the picture. I zoomed in on the photo and wow! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Each object was circular like a disk, and had lights on the front. I’m sending you these pictures. To help us understand what the objects are. Thank you!

Brown sent the pictures to us to help her figure out what might be in the pictures. In a couple of the images there is glare from inside the vehicle reflecting on the window. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case in the first picture.

Daily 2 Cents: Ridley Scott Directing HBO Ancient Aliens Drama — Unexplained Occurrences — ET Abduction Support Group

(Before It's News)

Ridley Scott to direct ancient aliens show for HBO

It was announced on Thursday, April 24 that director Ridley Scott is developing an alien-themed drama titled Pharaoh for HBO.

Scott has signed on to serve as the executive producer and director for this project, which was created and sold to the premium cable channel by David Schulner. The Hollywood Reporter explains:

The drama explores an alternate explanation for the foundation and ascent of the ancient Egyptian empire — one in which greatness was bestowed upon us by beings from another world, calling into question what it means to be a “god.” The project was co-created by Giannina Facio and Colet Abedi, who will exec produce alongside Scott and David Zucker for Scott Free.

Although this plot outline sounds familiar to that of the Stargate franchise that began with the 1994 film and followed with the SyFy television series Stargate SG-1, it sounds like the premise of Pharaoh is different enough. Blastr states, “Obviously, fans of Stargate are pretty familiar with the concept, and it sounds like Scott could be putting a spin on the old premise (minus the ‘gates, apparently).” And Wired UK speculates the series will be “something along the lines of Rome with an Ancient Astronauts twist, rather than a Stargate redux.”

Of course, Scott is familiar with the extraterrestrial genre. He is well-known for his 1979 blockbuster hit Alien, and, more recently, the 2012 film Prometheus. Scott also directed the successful period film Gladiator in 2000. With Pharaoh blending extraterrestrial and historical elements, Scott seems to be a good fit for the project. And Scott himself is a proponent of ancient alien theories. His film Prometheus was partially inspired by the writings of Swiss author Erich von Daniken who is known for his books like Chariots of the Gods? and Gods From Outer Space. Von Daniken is also a regular talking head on History Channel’s Ancient Aliens.

Scott is currently directing a seemingly related film titled Exodus: Gods and Kings, scheduled to be released in December 2014. – Open Minds

Unexplained occurrences in my old home

I apologize for how long this is, but I have a bunch of stories and have always wanted to find explanations. I grew up in the same home just outside of Boston until I was about 21 and moved out on my own. A little background on the house; it was part of a condominium complex that was originally an estate belonging to a wealthy family. I believe that the actual house we were in was an addition and although it was on the physical property of the estate it was not built until much later. At some point the estate was sold to the Church and was a Monastery. I had heard that during the time as a Monastery my house was a dormitory but I’m not sure if that is true. It was then turned into condominiums.

In addition to the history of the place my parents always thought my Grandfather was present. He passed away before I was born but I’ve been told he was very controlling, not in a bad way, but just in the way that my family felt even if he passed he would want to be around.

These occurrences happened over 10+ years but I’ve never been able to truly explain any of them:

I always felt like I was being watched, especially on the bottom floor of my house where my room was and where the den was where we spent a lot of time watching TV. It was always a very uncomfortable feeling and typically it felt like someone was right behind me. This was especially true when I was alone in the house or when I went to bed. I’m not sure if some of this was my own imagination, but it was really most noticeable when I was alone.

There was a fire alarm hard wired into the ceiling that fell down and hung by a wire almost every day for years. I want to emphasize that this happened 5-7 times per week for years and nobody ever saw it actually fall. It seemed to happen when we were all out of the house at school or work. My father was the only one tall enough to reattach it at the time. To reattach the alarm you had to really push and twist it hard. One day he put it back up and said “Stop it Eddie (my grandfather)! We know you’re here and this is annoying!” It never fell down again. I swear this is completely true. The strange thing is I never felt scared when the fire alarm was down, it was somewhat comforting.

On more than one occasion a brand new penny would fall several feet away from anyone.

I was a normal messy teenager and my mom would always get on me about leaving dirty clothes under my bed. One night she asked if there was anything under my bed that should be in the hamper. I told her no, but there were socks under my bed. I woke up in the morning with the socks on the pillow right in front of me. My parents have sworn up and down they’d never sneak into my room while I was sleeping because I’d probably have woken up anyways and because they knew how much it would scare me.

Anyways, I hope this is at least an interesting read for some of you. I understand this is the internet and people are skeptical but this is all genuine. I felt compelled to write about this now because of a recent death in my family that has really bothered me and I was hoping sharing these stories would be comforting. – Reddit.com

Huge black rectangle UFO – Multiple witnesses – Donora, PA

On Monday April 21, 2014 at approx 3:15pm I was finishing up my jog at the local park here in Donora, PA. Called Palmer Park. I noticed slightly to the left of my position above the treetops on the hill was a HUGE black rectangle object moving slowly over the treetops. Moving right to left. It had a very “boxy” look to it, sharp defined edges. This thing was very far away, about 1-2 miles. The park I was at is way up on a hill so that’s how I was able to see it so far away. This object did not reflect the daytime sun. I saw no lights on it or windows. It was far away so all I can say is what I saw from the distance of where I was. The object did appear to change shape, going from a large solid rectangle to a thinner but just as long rectangle. It was just cruising along very very slowly above the treetops and even hovered a few times. It was 2-3 times the size of the goodyear blimp I’d say for as big as it appeared for as far away as I knew it was. It was really close, touching the treetops practically. I did not have my phone to take a photo. I was still a ways form my car where my phone was so i tried to jog to my car as fast as I could being already out of breath. There were some other people there at the park. I knew I needed to get other people to confirm this sighting. There were two women sitting watching their kids play on the playground. I was still some walking distance from them so I kept my eye on this object while I made my way over to them. At this point the object has crossed over a gap between the large hillsides to continue its course over the next hillside and treetops. This object i swear changed shape a few times. Getting thinner then real big again. Always maintaining the rectangle shape and dull black color. Also it appeared to move sideways, backing up away from my position, then back towards me again. – MUFON CMS

Abducted by ET? There is now a support group for you

The group aims to provide help to those who believe that they have been abducted by extraterrestrials.

Known as “The Anomalous Mind Management, Abductee, Contactee Helpline”, or “Ammach” for short, the group is run by Joanne Summerscales who aims to give people a platform of support from which they can relay their experiences without fear of ridicule.

Despite the unusual nature of such claims there are still a surprising number of people who believe that they have, at some stage in their lives, encountered beings from another world. The traditional abduction experience usually involves a person being taken from their bed at night, subjected to medical experiments and then returned with their memories of the encounter distorted or erased.

“We aim to provide a safe platform for them to tell their stories without ridicule and fear,” said Summerscales who has to date been contacted by more than 1,500 people with abduction experiences. “I do not believe everything I hear but if something strange happened to us we would want to have the ability to tell someone about it without fear.” Read more at Telegraph

UFO Attacked by U.S Army in L,A. – The City Was Blacked Out For Hours

 Battle of L.A

With the city blacked out hundreds of thousands of people, were able to see the eerie visitor with spectacular clarity.

The U.S. Army anti-aircraft searchlights by this time had the object completely covered. They sent fighter planes up in groups approach it and then turn away. There were shooting at it but it didn’t seem to matter

The planes were apparently called off after several minutes and then the ground cannon opened up. “It was like the Fourth of July but much louder. They were firing like crazy but they couldn’t touch it.

 The attack on the object lasted over half an hour before the visitor eventually disappeared from sight. Many eyewitnesses talked of numerous “direct hits” on the big craft but no damage was seen done to it.

UFO moves like rocket, then stops over Oakville, Ontario

 A witness has reported sighting UFO that moved like a rocket, and stopped over Oakville, Ontario on 10 April, 2014 at 9:30 AM. This report has been obtained from a testimony included in the database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), published on 10 April, 2014.

The witness begins the report by telling us that a light in the sky caught his attention. He goes on to describe the shape and intensity of the object.

“It was round in shape; appeared to have various intensity.”

The witness describes the speed and movement of the object.

“Moved very slow almost like floating. Stopped, hovered for a few seconds then shot up rapidly then stopped and hovered again for a few seconds.”

He then talks about the direction in which it ‘float away’.

“It then started to float away in the same direction it was previously moving it.”

The witness describes his initial reaction to the sighting.

“Oddest and eeriest thing I’ve ever seen. Thought process moved from plane, to shooting star, to meteor then realized that it was just moving way to slow.”

He further describes how the object behaved like a rocket.

“I wouldn’t be normally reading too much into this but it stopped and hovered, shot up like a rocket then stopped and hovered again.”

The witness finally tells us that he could only record the object for 30 seconds, before it disappeared.

“By the time I reached for my cell to take video I was only able to film about 30 seconds of it floating away”

UFO shocks British Columbia Firefighters

Firefighters in Maple Ridge, British Columbia were shocked when they observed some UFO orbs in the sky, in March 2014, as reported by UFO Sightings Daily. The website, UFO Sightings Daily, is coordinated by Scott C. Waring. He had been affiliated with the United States Air Force at SAC base (USAF flight line). He currently owns an ESL School in Taiwan.

In this report, Scott Waring has published images of the UFO.

Mr. Waring tells us how the Maple ridge fire department has been freaking out believing that these orbs may be Chinese lanterns.

“Maple ridge fire department is freaking out believing these orbs may be Chinese lantern.”

He then tells us that these glowing UFOs have been observed all over the world.

“These glowing UFOs have been seen around the world and performing some extraordinary madder at speeds many times faster than any military jet.”

Quoting an eyewitness, he describes the colour and speed of the object.

“They were bright red and slightly moving.”

He further quotes the eyewitness explaining how these orbs could not have been Chinese lanterns.

“I don’t think they were candle lanterns, as they were so bright.” It is unlikely that these orbs are lanterns since BC law prohibits their sale and use.”

Finally, Mr. Waring says that it’s always best to stick with the eyewitnesses’ testimony over those who did not see the UFOs.

New York’s UFO capital welcomes visitors from out of this world

By Reed Tucker

The truth is out there — in fact, it might be just up the New York State Thruway.

Here are a couple of things you probably didn’t know: New York has its own Roswell — an unofficial UFO sighting capital. And that capital is the small town of Pine Bush, about an hour and a half north of Manhattan on the west side of the Hudson.

Some out-of-town “customers” hang out at a Pine Bush Realtor’s on Main Street.

Legend has it residents have been witnessing strange events, including floating balls of light in the forest, going back to the early 1900s. In the 1950s through the 1990s, reports of unidentified airborne objects exploded. Hundreds of converts claimed to have seen a boomerang-shaped object darting through the sky. Others have videotaped triangular lights or cigar-shaped crafts. Still others have reported seeing strange objects in the sky headed for LaGuardia Airport.

Pine Bush has long embraced its connection to the beyond, viewing it as a potential way to nab tourist dollars. On Saturday, the town hosts its annual UFO Fair. (The rain date is Sunday.)

The daylong event, now in its fourth year, includes live music, lectures from UFO authors, games, face painting and an alien-themed parade down Main Street with decorated cars and humans in costumes.

“It’s probably one of the biggest days we have here,” says Phil Barnao, owner of Fort Lox Bagel, Cafe & Deli, which will host an audience-participation radio broadcast of “The War of the Worlds” at 7 p.m. “They make it a family-oriented type of deal.”

Locals dress the part for their annual parade.

For the record, Barnao has never seen a UFO himself.

“People who have, they must be doing a lot of medical marijuana. I don’t know,” he says.

Last year’s festival drew some 7,000 believers. “We’ve started to get people from the city,” says Domanie Ragni, community services director for the town of Crawford, of which Pine Bush is a part. “People come from out of state. We had somebody come from another country.”

Those hoping to snap a photo of a spacecraft might be out of luck. Sightings have dropped since the 1990s when, perhaps not coincidentally, the cow fields in which skywatchers used to gather were turned into strip malls or condos.

This alien gets a touch-up.

We’re a long way from the days in 1993 when a local man told the Poughkeepsie Journal that he’d been abducted by little green men and immobilized in order to have “a sperm sample” taken. That wasn’t an alien, sir, it was Madonna.

Another article described the sighting of a strange cat that “had a piece of cardboard where its head should be.”

No one’s quite sure why little Pine Bush has been honored with so much mysterious activity. One of the few explanations was put forth by a geologist named Bruce Cornet, who theorized in the 1990s that the Hudson Valley was home to underground alien bases that were beaming signals to spaceships in orbit.

Cornet claimed that the geography of Pine Bush was similar to that of the area on Mars where early photos seemed to reveal the outline of a giant face (later shown to be a trick of the shadows) and pyramid-like structures. (You guessed it — it was later shown to be a trick of the shadows.)

The window at Butch’s haircutters has space for an otherworldly barbershop quartet sign.

Ah, well. Should you be heading to Pine Bush for the UFO Fair, please let the ETs know that they’re wise to keep building their bases a few hours north of New York. Rents here are murder.

An aerial drone was used to capture the historic launch of this revolutionary rocket. We’re used to seeing rockets launch and disappear into the sky, but things are a little different at Elon Musk’s SpaceX facility in Texas. On Friday, the company launched its first test flight of a Falcon 9 Reusable (F9R) rocket, which reached over 800 feet in altitude and then made a controlled landing.

Location: Galdar Canary Islands Spain
Date: June 22 1976 Time: 2230

Dr. Francisco Julio Padron, a physician, was being driven to Galdar, on Grand Canary Island, when he and his chauffeur saw a spherical object “about the size of a 3-story building” 60 yards off the road. It was of grayish blue color, but transparent—we could see the stars through it.” Near the center of the sphere were 2 figures well over 6 ft tall, who were either red in color or dressed in bright red; they had human faces with large eyes, and their heads gave off a glow. They wore cloth like helmets hiding their ears. On the ends of their arms they had “wing-like appendages that they moved slowly, like hands.” The car’s radio went out, and the witnesses felt an intense cold. Then the object began to rise, apparently growing larger as it did so. Many other witnesses, including 3 astronomers at the observatory, saw the object take off; it approached the observatory, then made a sharp 90-degree turn and took off “like a streak of light.” Onions in the field over which the UFO hovered were found later to have been “cooked” as if by burning.

50 year anniversary of Socorro UFO landing

(Before It's News)

There are not many instances in which U.S. Air Force UFO investigators admitted to being baffled, but the case of a police officer seeing a UFO near the ground outside of Socorro, New Mexico in 1964, left them scratching their heads.

50 years ago today, on April 24, 1964 at approximately 5:45 pm, Socorro police officer Lonnie Zamora began pursuing a speeding vehicle just south of town. He then says he heard a “roar,” and he broke off his pursuit to investigate. He knew of a nearby dynamite shack and decided to go take look to see if it was the source of the noise.

He also noticed a flame in the sky. He said it was a bluish orange and appeared to be descending. He says he could not focus on it because he was paying attention to the road. A part of the dirt road was very steep and he had trouble getting over it.

When he did crest the hill he noticed a white object on the ground out in the desert and two people in coveralls near it. He said the object looked oval and white. It also seemed to be on two legs. He thought it might be a car wreck, so he raced down the road to help. He called dispatch to let them know he would be assisting in a car wreck.

When he got closer to the object he pulled his car around, stopped to radio in that he was leaving his car, and then got out. He fumbled with the radio handset, and just as he turned around, he heard a loud “roar (was not exactly a blast).” He said the object began to rise and it had a blue flame under it. He said the bottom of the flame looked orange.

At this point he also noticed the object was smooth with no windows and it had an insignia on the side. He was afraid the thing was going to explode, so he ran. As he ran around his patrol car his leg hit the fender and he fell down. He glanced back and saw the object was still rising, and the roar kept getting louder.

Zamora got up and kept running from the object, finally jumping over a hill for cover. He said the sound stopped. He had planned on continuing to run, but he noticed the object was now moving away. It was only about 10 to 15 feet from the ground. It flew over the dynamite shack, just clearing it by a few feet. It flew off following the contour of the ground, never higher than 20 feet or so, until Zamora lost sight of it.

Zamora went back to his car and asked the radio operator to look out of the window to see if he could see the object. The dispatcher didn’t see anything. Then New Mexico state police officer Sergeant Chavez arrived on the scene.

Chavez asked what was wrong. He noticed Zamora looked out of breath and pale. Zamora told him the story, and they went to look at the area the object had landed. When they got there they noticed a burnt bush and impressions in the ground left by what appeared to be landing gear.

Zamora’s sighting made it into local newspapers and caught the attention of the U.S. Air Force’s Project Blue Book, their official investigation into UFOs. Investigators were impressed with Zamora’s credibility. They were also impressed with the physical evidence. A burnt branch from the bush and the soil at the site of the impressions were analyzed. However, nothing unusual was found. They also tested for radiation, but levels were normal.

There was burnt cardboard found on the site, but Blue Book’s scientific advisor, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, said it was old. He felt it was probably blown by the wind under the bush that got burnt, and was not sturdy enough to be part of a hoax. He noted many bushes in the area had paper or cardboard brought in by the wind stuck under them.

Investigators also noted that there were no tracks from vehicles going into the area. This supported the idea that it was not a hoax. In the end, Blue Book investigators didn’t know what Zamora saw. However, they were certain it was not extraterrestrial.

They noted that the object did not seem to demonstrate technology beyond that of our own space program. In fact, since the White Sands Missile Range was so near, they thought it could have been an experimental craft from there. They even suggested it could be a Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), like those used in the Apollo program. However, their investigation into these possibilities did not produce a definite answer.

Blue Book director Hector Quintanilla said, “[Zamora] is puzzled by what he saw and frankly, so are we. This is the best-documented case on record, and still we have been unable, in spite of thorough investigation, to find the vehicle or other stimulus that scared Zamora to the point of panic.”

This case has continued to be important in UFO research, and occasionally finds itself back in the news. In 2009, a professor and former students from New Mexico Tech said they thought they might know who hoaxed it. They thought it was an elaborate tricked played on Zamora. However, they did not produce anything definitive.

In 2012, Zamora’s UFO sighting was memorialized by a mural in the town of Socorro. It is several hundred yards from the actual landing site.

The Socorro case has had a lasting effect on locals and those interested in the UFO phenomenon. 50 years later, Zamora’s experience still makes us wonder. I have a feeling that 50 years from now there will still be interest, along with new articles by people in the future still wondering what the heck Lonnie saw out there in the lonely desert.

UFO sighting over Phoenix on 19th April 2014

UFO sightings – New amazing video footage of a bright UFO sighting recorded in the night sky above Phoenix on 19th April 2014.

Witness said:
It was moving around much more before I got my video camera. The 2 lights were on the tall TV or radio towers located in the area of 32nd st and Southern here in Phoenix. Our location was 41st Way and Fremont st. It would move so fast, stop, and would turn so fast it could not be any type of aircraft we have here? Your guess is a good as mine.

Amazing UFO sighting over Las Vegas, Nevada on 16th April 2014

Witness said:
I took this video at about 8:20 PM to 8:24 PM on April 16th, 2014 from my backyard. I was looking to the northeast or towards North Las Vegas and Nellis Air Force Base.

At about 8:20 PM on April 16th, 2014 I went out onto my patio to have a cigarette. At about 8:22 PM I saw what I thought was a low flying airplane over Las Vegas until it reversed directions instantly. I got up and went to a spot in my yard where I could see it better. It was moving all over the northwestern sky, blinking a greenish blue and red. The colors were very bright. I immediately reached into my pocket and grabbed my Galaxy S4 so that I could try and shoot a video of what I was seeing. It’s only the second time I have filmed a video on this phone so it was a bit shaky and I was pretty jacked up because you could clearly see this was a UFO and not a conventional aircraft. This all appeared to occur over and near Nellis Air Force Base however another witness said it was in the Centennial Hills area of Las Vegas so it was probably between 13 and 21 miles away when I videotaped it. My home is on the extreme west side of Las Vegas near the Red Rocks and the Pine Mountains. The video is shaky but other parts clearly show this object moving at incredibly fast speeds and in a manner no other air worth craft could do. Nellis Air Force Base is 21 miles from my home so if it was over the base it must have been pretty large in size and it must have been moving very fast at times. It also seemed to go very low at times, seeming to almost land right in the populated area of North Las Vegas.

I used the YouTube Video Editor in order to lighten up the black sky so it’s easier to see that this UFO was making some crazy turns. Keep in mind that the UFO is probably anywhere from 10 to 20 miles away during the video.

TWO MILITARY MEN OBSERVE A HUGH TRIANGLE OVER GEORGIA

(Before It's News)

NOVEMBER 19, 2013   …….     ADEL GEORGIA

A large triangular shaped object was observed by two well qualified witnesses. One was an aircraft technician in the Army with a military intelligence background and the other was an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force. They both had 38 years experience.  On November 19th 2013 at 6:20 pm they both observed a huge triangular flying object that flew about 500 ft above them moving roughly from North to South. It was past dusk and was a fairly clear night.  They both said that the object had a wing span larger than a C-5A cargo plane. The object flew slowly at 10 – 15 knots (12-17 mph) and silently with no noise. The rear of the object displayed a row of white pulsing lights. As it moved away a very small drone like object was noticed flying alongside on the left.  When the object got further out it banked to the Southeast allowing them to see clearly the triangular shape of the object.  The slow speed allowed the witnesses to examine the object closely. The words of one of the witnesses best describes what they saw: “I could almost make out what appeared to be seams in the material, but it was not shiny; more dull and like carbon fiber. The leading edge was rounded and there was no tail to say, (in today’s aircraft everything has a vertical stabilizer with a stabilizer or ailerons. Sort of like a big T. You know what I mean and the anti-collision lights go on top bottom and left and right.)”  “I walked under it trying to make out markings, but it was just blending in with the sky so good the only way to tell the outline was that it was blocking out the stars and what few clouds where there. The ends had a reddish/pink glow but not strobes or rotating beacons.  “I could not make out a cockpit. It turned to the south east towards Moody Air Force Base as if it was in a pattern but way too low. As it did this I could see the back of it. This is why I say it looked like a big wing. The light on the back were from left to right, and white, not strobes, but pulsing.  “Dave said that’s a tight formation; then as it banked he said John that’s one single object. I said yeah I know but damned if I know what.  NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

“Something Is Monitoring The Planet, And They Are Monitoring it Very Cautiously” – Mike Gravel

For more CE articles and information on the UFO/Extraterrestrial phenomenon please click HERE.

The UFO topic seems to increase in intensity year after year. With a tremendous amount of credible information now available in the public domain, well known individuals are not afraid to share their voice with the world. It seems that a number of people would like to see this information surface, at the same time there seems to be so much secrecy behind the subject that a number of people would like to see it remain hidden.

Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), and 2008 presidential candidate says that there is “an extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet. Something is monitoring the planet and they are monitoring it very cautiously.” He’s not the only one making these claims. A number of Astronauts, Professors, high ranking military and political personnel have been doing the same over the years. Official documentation released from three letter agencies, governments, and the freedom of information act are available to the public domain and back up what is being said by these people.

These comments come from Mr. Gravel after the recent “citizens hearing on disclosure.”  You can find out more about that here and here.

The greatest form of ignorance is when someone rejects something they know nothing about – Wayne Dyer

Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance – Albert Einstein.

The UFO “issue” is a complex one that branches into different areas like science, history, politics, consciousness and many more . It is without a doubt one of the most important topics the human civilization has come across, ever.

No doubt that human beings have been programmed with fear when it comes to this topic, and there is a good possibility that that has been done purposely. It’s time to let go of that, there is a whole galactic community out there teeming with life.

Our planet and the beings on it are currently going through a shift. We are beginning to see through the curtain that blinds the masses in all aspects of life. Our health, food, energy and financial institutions are much more transparent, and the people of Earth are calling for change. We are recognizing that we are what needs to change, we are the ones that do not resonate with this current system and we are the ones that have the tremendous potential to create something new. Maybe some groups of extraterrestrials are watching to see if we can do it? And maybe some aren’t.

“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.” - Dr Brian O’leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor (source)

“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time” Apollo 14 Astronaut (source # 1) (source # 2)

“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” -

Habitable Exoplanets Are Bad News For Humanity

April 24, 2014 - Last week, scientists announced the discovery of Kepler-186f, a planet 492 light years away in the Cygnus constellation. Kepler-186f is special because it marks the first planet almost exactly the same size as Earth orbiting in the “habitable zone,” the distance from a star in which we might expect liquid water—and perhaps life.

What did not make the news, however, is that this discovery also slightly increases how much credence we give to the possibility of our own near-term extinction. This is because of a concept known as the Great Filter.

The Great Filter is an argument that attempts to resolve the Fermi Paradox: why have we not found aliens (or why have they not found us), despite the existence of hundreds of billions of exosolar systems in our galactic neighborhood in which life might evolve? As the namesake physicist Enrico Fermi noted, it seems rather extraordinary that not a single extraterrestrial signal or engineering project has been detected (UFO conspiracy theorists notwithstanding).

This apparent absence of thriving extraterrestrial civilizations suggests that at least one of the steps from humble planet to interstellar civilization is exceedingly unlikely. The absence could be because intelligent life is extremely rare, or because intelligent life has a tendency to go extinct. This bottleneck for the emergence of alien civilizations from any one of those billions of planets is referred to as the Great Filter.

Are we alone?

What exactly is causing this bottleneck has been the subject of debate for more than 50 years. Explanations could include a paucity of Earth-like planets or self-replicating molecules. Other possibilities could be an improbable jump from simple prokaryotic life (cells without specialized parts) to more complex eukaryotic life—after all, this transition took well over a billion years on Earth.

Proponents of this “Rare Earth” hypothesis also argue that the evolution of complex life requires an exceedingly large number of perfect conditions. In addition to Earth being in the habitable zone of the Sun, our star must be far enough away from the galactic center to avoid destructive radiation, our gas giants must be massive enough to sweep asteroids from Earth’s trajectory, and our unusually large Moon stabilizes the axial tilt that gives us different seasons.

These are just a few prerequisites for complex life. The emergence of symbolic language, tools and intelligence could require other such “perfect conditions” as well.

Or is the filter ahead of us?

While the emergence of intelligent life could be rare, the silence could also be the result of intelligent life emerging frequently but subsequently failing to survive for long. Might every sufficiently advanced civilization stumble across a suicidal technology or settle into an unsustainable trajectory? We know that a Great Filter prevents the emergence of prosperous interstellar civilizations, but we don’t know whether or not we already cleared it in humanity’s past or if it awaits us in the future.

For 200,000 years, humanity has survived supervolcanoes, asteroid impacts, and naturally occurring pandemics. But our track record of survival is limited to just a few decades in the presence of nuclear weaponry. And we have no track record at all of surviving many of the radically novel technologies that are likely to arrive this century.

Esteemed scientists such as Astronomer Royal Martin Rees at the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk point to advances in biotechnology as being potentially catastrophic. Others, such as Stephen Hawking, Max Tegmark, and Stuart Russell, also with the Cambridge Centre, have expressed serious concern about the exotic but understudied possibility of machine superintelligence.

Let’s hope Kepler-186f is barren

When the Fermi Paradox was initially proposed, it was thought that planets themselves were rare. Since then, however, the tools of astronomy have revealed the existence of hundreds of exoplanets. That seems to be just the tip of the iceberg.

But each new discovery of an Earth-like planet in the habitable zone, such as Kepler-186f, makes it less plausible that there are simply no planets aside from Earth that might support life. The Great Filter is thus more likely to be lurking in the path between habitable planet and flourishing civilization.

If Kepler-186f is teeming with intelligent life, then that would be really bad news for humanity because it would push back the Great Filter’s position further into the technological stages of a civilization’s development. This would imply that catastrophe awaits both us and our extraterrestrial companions.

In the case of Kepler-186f, we still have many reasons to think intelligent life might not emerge. The atmosphere might be too thin to prevent freezing or the planet might be tidally locked, causing a relatively static environment. Discovery of these hostile conditions should be cause for celebration. As philosopher Nick Bostrom once said:

The silence of the night sky is golden… in the search for extraterrestrial life, no news is good news. It promises a potentially great future for humanity.

The Armada

(Before It's News)

Not only is the Farmington / Four Corners region of New Mexico known for large hominids and shapeshifting Skinwalkers…but it is also the location of a mass UFO sighting in March 17, 1950, Some people have referred to the incident as ‘the most spectacular UFO sighting in U.S. history’:

HUGE ‘SAUCER’ ARMADA JOLTS FARMINGTON

Crafts Seen By Hundreds – Speed Estimated at 1000 MPH, Altitude 20,000 feet

For the third consecutive day flying saucers have been reported over Farmington. And on each of the three days their arrival here was reported between 11 and noon.

Three persons called the Daily Times office to report seeing strange objects in the air just before noon.

Persons along Main Street once again could be seen looking skyward and pointing.

High winds and a dust storm prevented clear vision.

Fully half of this town’s population still is certain today that it saw space ships or some strange aircraft — hundreds of them zooming through the skies yesterday. Estimates of the number ranged from & quotes several to more that 500. Whatever they were, they caused a major sensation in this community, which lies only 110 air miles northwest of the huge Los Alamos Atomic installation.

The objects appeared to play tag high in the air. At times they streaked away at almost unbelievable speeds. One witness did a triangulation sighting on one of the objects and estimated its speed at about 1,000 miles an hour, and estimated its size as approximately twice that of a B-29.

Farmington citizens stood in the streets yesterday watching the first reported mass “flying saucer” flight ever sighted. Traffic was slowed to avoid hitting sky gazers. The office of the Farmington Daily Times was deluged with calls from persons who saw the objects.

A Red Leader

Scores described the objects as silvery discs. A number agreed they saw one that was red in color — bigger and faster, and apparently the leader.

Clayton J. Boddy, 32, business manager of Farmington Times and a former Army Engineers captain in Italy, was one of those who saw the startling objects.

Boddy was on roadway when all of a sudden I noticed a few moving objects high in the sky.

“Moments later there appeared what seemed to be about 500 of them,” Boddy continued. He could not estimate their size or speed, but said they appeared to be about 15,000 feet high.

Boddy’s account was confirmed by Joseph C. and Francis C. Kelloff, retail grocers from Antonito, Colo., who were in Farmington to inspect the site of a proposed new store, and by Bob Foutz and John Burrell of Farmington. The Kelloffs said the objects appeared to be flying in formation.

One of the most impressive accounts came from Harold F. Thatcher, head of the Farmington unit of the Soil Conservation service. Thatcher made a triangulation on one of a number of flying craft, He said if it had been a B-29 it would have been 2,000 feet high and traveling more than 1000 miles per hour.

Knows Engineering

“I’m not a professional engineer,” Thatcher said, “but I have engineers working under me and I know how to work out rough triangulation on an object.”

Thatcher emphatically denied an earlier report that the objects could have been small pieces of cotton fuzz floating in the atmosphere.

“It was not cotton,” he said, “I saw several pieces of cotton fuzz floating around in the air at the time, but I was not sighting on any cotton.”

The “cotton” report was started by State Patrolman Andy Andrews, who quoted several Farmington Residents as asserting it was cotton they saw. The residents denied Andrew’s report.

The first reports of flying saucers were noted a few minutes before 11 a.m. yesterday. For a full hour thereafter people deluged the Times with reports of the objects.

A second large scale sighting occurred at 3 p.m. At that time, Mrs. Wilson Jones, 27, and Mr. Roy Hicks, 33, housewives reported seeing objects to the north of Farmington, flying in perfect formation. Others reported the same sight.

Johnny Eaton, 29, a real estate and insurance salesman, and Edward Brooks, 24, an employee of the Perry Smoak garage, were the first to report the red-colored sky object.

Not Airplanes

Brooks, a B-29 tail gunner during the war, said he was positive the objects sighted were not airplanes. “The very maneuvering of the things couldn’t be that of modern aircraft,” he said.

John Bloomfield, another employee of Smoak’s garage, said the objects he saw traveled at a speed that appeared to him to be about 10 times faster than that of jet planes. In addition, he said the objects frequently made right-angle turns.

“They appeared to be coming at each other head-on,” he related. “At the last second, one would veer at right angles upward, the other at right angles downward. One saucer would pass another and immediately the one to the rear would zoom into the lead.”

Marlow Webb, another garage employee, said the objects to the naked eye appeared to be about eight inches in diameter as seen from the ground. He described them as about the size of a dinner plate.” “They flew sideways, on edge and at every conceivable angle,” he said. “This is what made it easy to determine that they were saucer-shaped.” None of the scores of reports told of any vapor trail or engine noise. Nor did anyone report any windows or other markings on the craft.

In general Farmington accepted the phenomenon calmly, although it was reported some women employees of a laundry became somewhat panicky. – Farmington Daily Times, March 18, 1950

NOTE: The Aztec UFO Crash Recovery occurred in 1948, not too far northeast of Farmington. Farmington and Aztec, New Mexico are approximately 100 air miles northwest of the Los Alamos National Laboratory where the atomic bomb was secretly developed in the 1940s. Espanola, the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation, Chama, Tierra Amarilla and Dulce are all areas where many unusual bloodless, trackless animal mutilations have also been reported since the 1960s…Lon

Ancient Giants' Migration and Origins

(Before It's News)

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What we know of ancient giants that is consistent -

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Before It's News)

Ghosts of Gallipoli

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We offer it for your judgment. – SMH

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

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

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

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

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

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

Apparition runs through stadium crowd

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

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

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

Bizarre collection for sale

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Building A Stable Wormhole With The Help Of Dark Aliens

(Before It's News)

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

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

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

Particle menagerie

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

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

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

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

Galactic smudge

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

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

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

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

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

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Cylinders

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Netherlands Disc

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

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

Is the Sun causing Headaches

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

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

Mysterious Ancient Sites

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

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

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

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

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

US, NATO Allies Cutting Back on Arms

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

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

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

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

Ignored Waffle Rock Still Baffles Onlookers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

UFO Reports in the United States

Arizona Lights

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

California Lights and Object

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

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

Florida Winter Garden

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

–

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

Illinois Orb

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

Mississippi Lights

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

Nevada Greenish Blue Light

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

New Jersey Orb

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

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

North Carolina thirty years experience in the Cross

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

Ohio Orb

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

Pennsylvania Lights

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

Texas Orbs

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

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

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Blue

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

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

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

Canada Grey Ship

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

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

Ireland Lights

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

New Zealand Sightings

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

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

Puerto Rico

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

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

Slovakia Sphere

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

South Africa Half Moon

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

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

United Kingdom/England/Octahedron

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

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

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

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

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

PROVOCATIVE ISSUES OF THE UFO MYSTERY by Doc Vega.

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

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

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

New Alien Signal From Habitable Star Discovered! 4/2013 Seti & Disclosure

SETI has discovered a new type of alien signal coming from space. Unlike the original 1977 “WOW!” signal captured by SETI researchers at Ohio State, this new signal captured in 2010 and again in 2012, comes from an actual star some 100 light years away.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Before It's News)

For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com

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

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

Ancient Tunnel System Under The Giza Plateau Of Egypt

Entrance to the shaft at the back of the Sphinx

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

Stone covering the shaft entrance

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Does the Lineage Of Giants Still Exist?

(Before It's News)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ARGENTINA

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

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

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

Asteroidal Itch: Dumb Luck Or Divine Intervention?

(Before It's News)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mild sunburns were reported through out the survey area…”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Furthermore, Contingency Planning Memorandum No. 21 also states:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Either one seems to be a worthless endeavor.

Fossil Researcher Baffled by Prehistoric Footprints

(Before It's News)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hand Beast Comparison

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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