"Buitenaardsen willen juist contact met ons maken"
In het NOS Radio 1 Journaal zei Coen Vermeeren, wetenschapper en lucht- en ruimtevaartdeskundige aan de TU Delft, dat buitenaardsen onze planeet niet willen overnemen of vernietigen. Ze willen juist contact met ons maken.
Vermeeren gelooft in het bestaan van UFO’s. Mensen die in onderzoeken over UFO’s hun verhaal doen, zijn geen mensen die hun verstand zijn kwijtraakt maar professionals, zegt Vermeeren. Het zijn vaak luchtverkeersleiders, piloten en astronauten; mensen die voor hun vak veel naar de lucht kijken.
Vermeeren pleit ervoor dat we meer met elkaar gaan praten over UFO’s. “Het taboe moet verdwijnen,” zegt hij. “Als meer wetenschappers openstaan voor buitenaards bestaan, dan kunnen we daarvan profiteren. Er is kennelijk technologie op aarde aanwezig op het gebied van transport en energie waarmee we een deel van onze problemen zouden kunnen oplossen.”
De meeste wetenschappers geloven niet dat buitenaardse wezens de aarde bezoeken. Dat komt volgens Vermeeren omdat in de Verenigde Staten ooit een onderzoek van 1000 pagina’s is gepubliceerd waarin wordt geconcludeerd dat UFO’s en buitenaards leven voor de wetenschap niet interessant zijn om te bestuderen.
Vermeeren merkt op dat in dat rapport ook veel verhalen staan van mensen die interessante en geloofwaardige dingen hebben gezien. Dat merk je pas als je je erin verdiept, maar de meeste wetenschappers willen dat niet en geven toch hun mening, zegt Vermeeren. Ook worden we volgens hem collectief bang gemaakt door Hollywood.

Illegal Alien Disease Epidemic – Doctors And Nurses Gagged, Threatened With Arrest if They Talk
Illegal Alien Disease Epidemic – Doctors And Nurses Gagged, Threatened With Arrest if They Talk
The message to doctors and nurses was simple; you talk, you go to jail. That message was delivered by officers of the government security contractors hired to police the Lackland Air Base illegal alien induction facility.
Some have spoken up anyway, because the risks are so great. They say the American taxpayers and citizens have a right to know what disease epidemic risk is being brought into our nation. They were interviewed confidentially by Todd Starnes of Fox News.
The secret nature of the process is itself of concern to the whistleblowers. One psychiatric counselor said, “There were several of us who wanted to talk about the camps, but the agents made it clear we would be arrested. We were under orders not to say anything.”
The security guarding the workers is provided by “Baptist Family & Children’s Services,” a contractor hired by HHS. They are referred to by themselves and others within the facility ominously as the “Brown Shirts.”
The counselor said “It was a very submissive atmosphere, once you stepped onto the grounds, you abided by their laws – the Brown Shirt laws.”
Upon entry to the facility all cell phones and other communication devices are confiscated and anyone caught with a phone is immediately terminated. She said, “Everyone was paranoid, the children had more rights than the workers.”
The infectious diseases that are still being brought in include measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat. Mental health and emotional conditions are also being diagnosed, and may or may not be treated.
The counselor described watching lice crawling down the hair of children she was attending to.
A former nurse calls it a “lice epidemic.” She said, “You could see the bugs crawling through their hair,” and added, “After we would rinse out their hair, the sink would be loaded with black bugs.”
That former nurse said, “We have so many kids coming in that there was no way to control all of the sickness – all this stuff coming into the country. We were very concerned at one point about strep going around the base.”
The counselor and the nurse both said the official position is to conceal the extent of the illnesses from the public.
The nurse describes how, “When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was adamant – ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies.’ But everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very concerned about touching things and picking things up. They asked if they should be concerned, but they were told ‘don’t worry about it.’”
Another problematic condition which concerned the nurse was the fact that the children were transported to Lackland on domestic charter buses and airplanes. Whatever conditions they have may have been left on the seats and other surfaces and could infect others.
The counselor noticed children who she recognized as being suicidal and recommended that they be sent to a psychiatric unit. Rather than treat one boy she pointed out, he was placed with a family in America.
It was at that point that she filed a Child Protective Services report and quit her job, concerned that her license was at risk if the child later committed suicide.
The counselor says she kept a detailed journal about what is going on inside the Lackland facility and remarked, “When people read that journal they are going to be astonished. I don’t think they will believe what is going on in America.”
She reports that she was later contacted by federal agents who demanded that she return to Lackland and surrender her journal to them. She refused to do so and has not returned to Lackland.
It is Cloward-Piven in action. The nurse expressed her belief that, “They’re going to crush the system. We can’t sustain this. They are overwhelming the system and I think it’s a travesty.”

De Bigfoot- of Yeti-legende, nog steeds springlevend in de Verenigde Staten en in de Himalaya, krijgt een nieuwe wetenschappelijke knauw. DNA-onderzoek van haarstalen van vermeende Bigfoot-vindplaatsen hebben enkel maar koeien, paarden, honden, wasberen en een paar uitgestorven beren aan het licht gebracht.
De studie werd vandaag gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijke vakblad Proceedings of The Royal Society B. Wetenschappers vergeleken het DNA dat ze verzamelden op 57 plaatsen over heel de wereld waar een bigfoot-achtig wezen werd gespot. Als dat echt zou bestaan, zouden toch minstens een aantal stalen niet mogen overeenkomen met enig ander bekend wezen op aarde.
Het onderzoek kwam er omdat de believers van de bigfoot altijd konden aanhalen dat 'serieuze' wetenschappers weigerden om zelfs nog maar het bestaan ervan in overweging te nemen. Een uitdaging die Oxford-onderzoeker Bryan Sykes daarom maar al te graag aannam.
Koeien, paarden en wasberen
Maar de resultaten waren - voor de believers alvast - teleurstellend. Geen enkel haarstaal was de onderzoekers onbekend. Ze kwamen zowat allemaal van ofwel koeien, paarden, wasberen, coyotes, een Maleisische tapir, en mensen. Twee stalen, uit Azië, vertoonden wel overeenkomst met een uitgestorven poolbeer uit het Paleolithicum. Dat kan er op wijzen dat in dat gebied een nog onbekende beersoort rondzwerft. Maar een Yeti-achtig dier sluiten de wetenschappers uit.
De Bigfoot (of met de indiaanse naam Sasquatch) is de hard uitroeibare legende van een behaard wezen, een primaat die eruit ziet als half-man, half-dier en rechtop loopt. De primaat zou tot 2,5 meter groot zijn en tot 450 kilogram wegen en nog steeds in de bossen en wouden van de Verenigde Staten en Canada rondlopen. Als de bigfoot nog bestaat, zou hij afstammen van de Gigantopithecus, de gigantische mensaap die ongeveer een miljoen tot honderdduizend jaar geleden geleden in Azië leefde. Vandaar dat ook daar nog steeds Bigfootmeldingen opduiken, zij het dan onder de naam Yeti.

Wanneer u op een vliegtuig stapt, vertrouwt u erop dat de piloot en copiloot vooraan in de cockpit alles nauwlettend in de gaten houden. Maar vliegtuigbouwer Airbus heeft een revolutionair idee: waarom de piloten niet naar de achterzijde van het vliegtuig verplaatsen, of zelfs naar de bagageruimte?

Airbus heeft een Amerikaans patent in de wacht gesleept dat de besturingswijze van vliegtuigen in de toekomst drastisch kan veranderen. De blog Flight Club vergelijkt het concept met het besturen van een drone, al zullen de piloten wel nog in het vliegtuig aanwezig zijn. Niet vooraan, zoals traditioneel het geval is, maar elders in het vliegtuig. Daar krijgen ze een digitaal scherm met live-camerabeelden ter beschikking om de omgeving rond het vliegtuig in de gaten te houden.
Waarom Airbus dat nodig vindt? Het draait voornamelijk om geld. De vliegtuigbouwer wil de aerodynamica verbeteren, want hoe aerodynamischer een vliegtuig is, hoe minder weerstand er is en hoe minder brandstof verbrand wordt. In een ideaal scenario zou de neus van een vliegtuig lancetvormig zijn maar omdat er een cockpit in zit, is de vorm van de neus complex. De cockpit vereist bovendien een groot glazen oppervlak voor een optimaal zicht. Het glas is op zich al zwaar en vraagt bovendien structurele verstevigingen die de massa van het vliegtuig nog vergroten.
Daarnaast beperkt de traditionele locatie van de cockpit de grootte van de cabine en dus het aantal passagiers.
Geruststellend?
Een mogelijke alternatieve locatie volgens Airbus is onder de vloer van de cabine, waar de bagageruimte zich bevindt. Of achteraan, in de verticale stabilisator.
Of luchtvaartmaatschappijen en passagiers hierop zitten te wachten, is volgens Flight Club nog maar de vraag. "Heel geruststellend klinkt het niet dat de piloten volledig afhankelijk zijn van een camera en beelden op een panoramisch scherm", luidt het. "Wat als een vogel of een hagelsteen de camera beschadigt? Zou u op een vliegtuig stappen, wetende dat de piloten achter u zitten?"
Toch zal het zicht van de piloten volgens het patent niet verslechteren, integendeel. In een traditioneel vliegtuig is het zicht beperkt tot de ruimte die zich voor de neus uitstrekt. Deze uitvinding biedt de piloot de keuze tussen meerdere zichten, waaronder ook dat aan de voorzijde van het vliegtuig.
Was It a Yeti? Bigfoot? Hair DNA Reveals Monsters’ True Identity
Was It a Yeti? Bigfoot? Hair DNA Reveals Monsters’ True Identity
NA readings from dozens of hair samples linked to sightings of Bigfoot, Yeti and other legendary monsters show that the hairs came instead from run-of-the-mill animals such as bears and cows — but the researcher behind the project says Bigfoot hunters needn’t give up hope just yet.
“I don’t think this finishes the Bigfoot myth at all,” Oxford geneticist Bryan Sykes told NBC News. “What it does do is show that there is a way for Bigfoot enthusiasts to go back out into the forest and get the real thing.”
Sykes’ findings, published in this week’s issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Academy B, follow up on a yearlong effort to bring in and analyze samples collected by monster-hunters and fringe-science researchers known as cryptozoologists.
One of his key findings was revealed last year, when Sykes reported that two hair samples attributed to the mysterious Himalayan monster known as the Yeti (or “Abominable Snowman”) were a genetic match for a 40,000-year-old jawbone from a polar bear that lived in the Norwegian Arctic.
Sykes is writing a book about that case, titled “The Yeti Enigma,” and he’s organizing an expedition to the Himalayas next year to look for a live specimen of the anomalous bear. “That’s the next logical step,” he said. “We need a live ‘Yeti.’”
More than half of the 30 samples that underwent DNA analysis were linked to sightings of Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch) in the United States, ranging from Texas and Minnesota to Arizona and Washington state.
Sykes and his team focused on a snippet of mitochondrial DNA code that’s passed down from a mother to her progeny. That code was matched to species signatures stored in the GenBank database of DNA sequences.
The Bigfoot samples were matched to black bears, cows, a porcupine, horse, raccoon, sheep, deer, canines (which could have been dogs, coyotes or wolves) and one undetermined human. The Russian samples correlated with bears, horses, cows and a raccoon. Two of the Yeti samples matched up with that long-gone polar bear, and a third was linked to a goatlike animal called a serow. The orang pendek sample was traced to a Malaysian tapir.
21st-Century Monster Hunt
Even though the project provided no evidence for the existence of a legendary monster, Sykes said it proved that scientific methods could be brought to bear on the search for anomalous species. There have been previous claims for the detection of Bigfoot-human hybrid DNA, but those findings were thought to have been the result of contamination and have not been widely accepted.
“It just wasn’t science,” Sykes told NBC News. “A lot of Bigfoot enthusiasts thought that this was how science worked, [but] it was dreadful.”
Oxford geneticist Brian Sykes is planning an expedition to the Himalayas to look for what may be a mysterious breed of bear.
Loren Coleman, director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine, said he wasn’t disappointed that Sykes failed to confirm Bigfoot. In an email to NBC News, Coleman said Sykes’ method was “the correct way to do cryptozoology science.”
“Gone are the Victorian days of stomping about jungles and forests to shoot animals to prove they exist,” Coleman said. “We can do verifications through testing for the DNA in hair, fecal and other physical samples found in conjunction with sightings of and encounters with possible new animals. Follow-ups then can be made in the field to obtain photographic evidence and further blood samples from living animals.”
Norman MacLeod, a paleontologist at London’s Natural History Museum, struck a similar tone in a commentary published by the Proceedings of the Royal Society B — and in an email sent to NBC News.
“Science is not biased against the identification of cryptid species,” MacLeod said. “It simply suspends judgment until unambiguous positive evidence is produced.”
For his part, Sykes said he hoped Coleman and other cryptozoologists would be taken more seriously. “They have been, I think, quite badly treated by scientists over the past 50 years,” he said.
Sykes took it as an honor that he was named Cryptozoologist of the Year as well as Bigfooter of the Year for 2013, thanks to his Yeti report. “The next step is the Nobel Prize,” he joked.
In addition to Sykes, the authors of “Genetic Analysis of Hair Samples Attributed to Yeti, Bigfoot and Other Anomalous Primates” include Rhettman Mullis, Christophe Hagenmuller, Terry Melton and Michel Sartori.

MONSTER SIZE UFO ATTACKS VENEZUELA
MONSTER SIZE UFO ATTACKS VENEZUELA
This is one amazing event – it looks like something out of a movie, yet is seems to be real – as we are seeing more different types of craft in the skies.
Zijn we alleen? Het is vandaag Wereld UFO Dag
Het is vandaag Wereld UFO Dag, een dag waarop er extra aandacht is voor de mogelijkheid dat onze planeet wordt bezocht door buitenaardse wezens. De dag valt ongeveer samen met misschien wel het bekendste UFO-verhaal.
In juli 1947 werden op een ranch in het noordwesten van Roswell in de Amerikaanse staat New Mexico wrakstukken gevonden die volgens sommigen afkomstig waren van een buitenaards ruimteschip. Ooggetuigen beweerden lichamen van buitenaardsen te hebben gezien op de crashplek.
De luchtmacht meldde in eerste instantie dat er een ‘vliegende schotel’ was gecrasht. Later werd het bericht aangepast en werd gezegd dat de wrakstukken afkomstig zouden zijn van een weerballon. Decennia later bracht de luchtmacht een rapport naar buiten waarin stond dat de weerballon waarschijnlijk een experimentele spionageballon was en dat de ‘buitenaardsen’ in feite ‘antropomorfische crash test dummy’s waren.
De luchtmacht deed tussen 1947 en 1969 onderzoek naar UFO’s om vast te stellen of ze een bedreiging vormden voor de nationale veiligheid. Wetenschappers van Project Blue Book concludeerden dat ze geen bedreiging vormden en dat geen van de ongeïdentificeerde objecten buitenaardse voertuigen waren.
Een vooraanstaande expert zegt echter dat de overheid niet de waarheid spreekt over Roswell en buitenaards bezoek. “Het is een kosmisch Watergateschandaal,” zei kerngeleerde Stanton Friedman, die al meer dan 40 jaar onderzoek heeft verricht naar UFO’s. “Dit is het belangrijkste nieuws van het millennium.”
Uit een peiling van National Geographic Channel in 2012 bleek dat 36 procent van de ondervraagden er zeker van is dat UFO’s bestaan en op aarde zijn geland. Het Mutual UFO Network, dat onderzoek doet naar UFO-waarnemingen, krijgt duizenden meldingen per jaar. Dit jaar staat de teller al op 4100.
“Er is alleen geen wetenschappelijk bewijs dat het buitenaardse voertuigen zijn,” zei Joe Nickell van de Committee of Skeptical Inquiry. “Bestaan UFO’s? Zeker, het zijn ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten. Maar je kunt niet zeggen: Ik weet niet wat het is en daarom is het een buitenaards schip.”
De term ‘UFO’ werd in 1952 voor het eerst gebruikt door de Amerikaanse officier Edward Ruppelt. Het woord ‘vliegende schotel’ bestond al sinds 1947. In juni dat jaar zag piloot Kenneth Arnold negen vliegende objecten die als ‘schotels over het water vlogen’. In 1975 gaf Ecuatoriaal-Guinea als eerste land postzegels uit met vliegende schotels. In de Verenigde Staten wonen 40.000 mensen die zijn verzekerd voor buitenaardse ontvoeringen.
“Alien” Anything, Part 2“Alien” Anything, Part 2
Below is a response from a questioner to my seemingly harsh and critical email requesting him to substantiate his claims that “we’re “dealing with beings that are very different from us, etc.” He was offended by my response to him but to his credit, he wrote back, referred to some of my own remarks he found insulting, and I followed up with this:
…………………………………………………………………………………………..................................
First, thanks for writing back. I want to answer your points and do so directly without any intentional insults. I’m also going to address a few points that I too have to live with if the Billy Meier UFO case is to be considered credible, let alone the standard by which all other claims of ET contact are to be measured.
Let’s see if we can agree that the actual, proven existence of ETs would be of mega-enormous significance. Topping that by light years of course would be proof that one man on Earth has been in contact with them…for over 72 years.
Now the problem facing the UFO community/industry (UFOCI) is that they casually take for granted that there are all sorts of “aliens” walking around on Earth, working for the government (would they really be that stupid and desperate?), abducting people, co-procreating hybrid-human babies, etc. Really, that’s the standard fare of the UFOCI. And it’s mostly why the entire UFO field is marginalized, relegated to tabloid status, entertainment, etc., and the truth kept from the public.
This is no accident. Neither is the fact that all of this “alien” bilge can get widespread media coverage but you won’t find a word on the Meier case in the mainstream media. That should start to tell you something about both the “alien” nonsense and the…real deal.
I’ll get back to this – and it’s not directed at you – but also consider that sometimes people would rather die than know and have to deal with the truth. The problem is that they may well die because they deny it.
Now when someone blithely tells you that there are all sorts of these “Greys”, etc., on Earth, messing around with people, etc., beyond my already noted irreverent response to the failed logic behind unsubstantiated claims, let’s go a bit farther and ask just how we came to accept a context in which we are already ascribing and describing and attributing behaviors and motivations to creatures for which there simply is no empirical evidence establishing their existence, let alone interactions with us.
This is supremely important. How, how did we get from anecdotal stories by so-called “experiencers” – a cutesy new designation that would be fitting in a sic-fi discussion but not in one for which real, cold, hard evidence is lacking – to accepting their subjective accounts as equal to real scientifically proven facts?
You’ve taken offense not only to my lack of bedside manner but to my essential demands for actual…evidence. So let me explain just a little bit more about that.
In my 35 years of researching the Meier case, and a couple more decades of overall interest that started in my childhood, I still haven’t come upon any so-called UFO case that meets the standards of evidence and proof that one would deem reasonable to support such claims. I’ll quickly add that I have no trouble accepting the reality of Roswell (and some others like it). I first learned about it in about1958 from a high school friend who told me about a “flying saucer” that had crashed and was hauled off to an air base in Ohio. He learned about it from his father who was…in the US Air Force.
But there is zero remaining and/or verifiable evidence for Roswell (or any other cases, real or otherwise) and none can be forced from a government that probably doesn’t have and/or know about it/them anyway.
Roswell, like every other so-called UFO case, is a complete waste of very, very precious, dwindling time. Please, feel free to challenge that by producing something, anything of actual, relevance to our global situation today.
In representing the Meier case I’ve been “challenged” (and largely attacked) by skeptics but they pale in comparison to the incompetence, vehemence and obstruction of the truth by…UFOCI. The UFOCI is, second only to, or tied with, the intelligence agencies; it’s the worst opponent of the Meier case, the least scientific, least qualified, competent, capable, rational, logical group in just about any field of study that I know of.
The funny thing is that I’ve defeated every skeptical challenge, shut down a challenge from a scientist with a top secret clearance in less than five minutes, did the same thing just last year with a retired judge, simply on the strength of the scientific and legal standard of proof in the case. It doesn’t take a genius. Just someone who’s really done their homework. I’ve offered to debate all of the professional skeptics, at once, at an event of their choosing. No responses now, when once they were so confident.
I don’t have a scientific background. I was basically an artist and singer/songwriter who didn’t get my first “real” job until, at age 32, I had to raise my 10 month-old baby myself as a single father. (Some of my other bio material is here.)
I learned how to research – and think – from delving into the Meier material. I looked into every UFO-related story along the way. There’s simply no there there, anywhere, certainly not even remotely in the same league as the Meier case.
I’ve been to Switzerland 14 times, tried to trick Meier 4 times in 3 years on a strange matter he told me about. But he always immediately gave me the same answer, no hesitation, no tall tales, excuses. Where would I go to “research” anecdotal fables that have been built around “strange experiences”? I’ve been within 20′ of a craft myself and I received information from the Plejaren, through Meier, foretelling a trap I was otherwise going to fall into…verifiably days before the culprit sprang his second best plan because I had retreated based on their information, which Meier himself didn’t know about. I guess I’m not an “experiencer” because I have actual evidence for my claim and I don’t need some bogus “hypnosis” to recall (or have someone with questionable qualifications and motives concoct stories about) it.
Do you know why I do this work on the Meier case (and not on anything else, including my many creative ventures)? It’s because I consider it the most important true story in all of human history and the key to our future survival. My personal mission is to help prove the prophecies (like those here)…wrong.
I have a website jam packed with information, a blog with over 300 entries and a media appearances list a mile long. But the mainstream media access that I’ve tried to get in every way I know how is barred. Why is that? It’s because of several factors pertaining to the reality of the case and all that that implies to the powers that be, the knowledge of who Meier is and the fact that it’s now known that it’s too late to forestall some of the most dreadful stuff that all those suppressive minds have actually helped to create and force to fulfillment.
So, getting back to my earlier comment, there are indeed people for whom the truth is so unmanageable that they would rather die than deal with it…and they have no compunctions about letting the rest of the world go down the drain at the same time.
As for the “Greys”, “aliens”, “experiencers”, etc., if one is sober and self-honest, the magnitude of that entire cynical farce is not only devoid of any credible, verifiable physical evidence but even ONE significant, uniquely valuable piece of information for humanity. It’s not only depressing but raises serious questions as to how one got swept up in that dead-end disinformation at the expense of recognizing truth and reality.
If I notice, while out walking at night, that your house is on fire should I wait until I return home, send you an email, maybe call - but apologize for disturbing you…or should I bang like hell on your door, get you to wake up and let you decide how you’re going to deal with the problem?
I’ve tried, and actually continue to try, every reasonable, rational, polite, humorous approach I know to wake people up…so that they can decide what they want to do once they know their house is on fire. Of course I do pound on their doors too when all else seems to have failed.
Our house, your house is on fire and no amount of pseudoscientific hypnosis with “experiencers” has – or ever will – alert us to it, nor will it contain the remedies that may still remain for us to put the fire out. No imaginary “Greys” started the fire, nor will they be of any help. The so-called “Greys” from Roswell were actually…androids, the robotic surrogates for the actual extraterrestrials in the Zeta Reticulum system who sent them out on scientific information gathering missions. Oh so cleverly, the US intelligence agencies, and others, have demonized real, actual – human – extraterrestrials and substituted all this fearful garbage to control people. And it’s not only been at the expense of the truth but it will cost many lives.
In the past 10,000 years, according to Meier, there’ve been only about 250 years of peace. The imaginary “Greys” weren’t killing off untold millions of human beings. We human beings ourselves were.
So we come around to this dreaded, disinformation perpetuating UFOCI, which, in case you haven’t noticed, hasn’t produced one solid piece of evidence for all its decades and decades of chasing lights in the sky. While the prophecies ceaselessly fulfill, while we pass our own point of no return, we think we still have the luxury of entertainingly scaring ourselves with the contemporary version of ghost stories, the new “demons” are now the imaginary “Greys”, “evil aliens”, etc.
But people like me, specifically me in fact, are a “problem” because I now waste little time confronting people with the truth as I know it, willing as I am though to be proven wrong. But no one, not even you my friend, has yet rebutted or addressed my concerns with opposing facts. Please, cite the best evidence from the most credible “researchers’ you’ve listened to in those hundreds of hours of interviews, etc..
If you can do so I will gladly address them. If not, maybe you’ll see that I’m not the problem for trying to make you substantiate your claims, beliefs, etc. But I may be the one who points out the real “fire in the house” in the form of the epidemic of gullibility, non-critical thinking, illogic and denial of reality that is the product of this abysmal, fraudulent field of UFOlogy and the industry it’s spawned…at the expense of the true truth.

I am not a researcher. I don’t have access to “scientifically verifiable” proof at a level that you would ever be satisfied with. I have a deep interest in this subject and have spent a few years listening to hundreds of hours of interviews from other researchers & experiencers, watched numerous documentaries, read many books, etc. which lead me to suspect that there are many other legitimate cases, including Greys. You have spent 30 years on this one case and so I’ll never be able to debate specific “verifiable” evidence with you since I am not directly involved with any case that I can point to particular evidence. That doesn’t make me “soft and lazy.” Again, that is just insulting and a harsh judgement.
I didn’t come to you to dispute your evidence or significance (so not sure why you keep trying to convince me of it), only to see if you had some evidence that all of the other cases were lies and hoaxes. I understand your point that you have not seen any sufficient evidence and so therefore: no (sufficient) evidence = not real. There is evidence, but not “scientifically verifiable” to you. As you put it, hypnosis to you is not a credible means of ascertaining truth claims and “Anecdotal evidence is…not the basis for any such claims to be accepted as factual” (which includes whistleblower testimony). To me though it is a mistake to throw all this evidence out. Yes, it’s not ideal evidence, but I wouldn’t dismiss it altogether. I weigh it accordingly and compare it with what might corroborate this evidence.
Yes, I do take life seriously (but not too much), but I’d rather spend my time with those that are not condescending and don’t have an “I’m smart and every else is ignorant” attitude. My main point is that–your attitude does not help your cause–it actually makes it worse. You seem frustrated that others don’t accept the validity and significance of this case, but this is why!
Cheers,

While serving in the USN aboard the aircraft carrier USS FDR, Chester Grusinski was below decks when he noticed a number of seamen hurrying up to the flight deck of the carrier. When he got to the flight deck, there were approximately 25 other men present observing an oblong, orange light in the sky. The light approached the carrier in a “wobbling” fashion, blo…cking out the background of stars in the sky and becoming larger. At a distance of probably no more than several hundred feet from the vessel, it stopped and hovered; Grusinski could clearly see a row of square windows, lighted within by a dull orange glow; in two of these windows, to his left, he could see occupants, one in each window. One appeared to be leaning against the glass and looking down at the witnesses, while the other could be seen only from the neck up. Then they both moved away and were no longer visible. At is closer range; Grusinski could feel a wave of warmth coming from the object. After the figures disappeared, the bottom of the object began glowing a red orange; it became brighter as the object began to move off, and they could clearly see then that it was cigar shaped. The faster it moved, the brighter it got. The observation lasted from two to five minutes. The next day, Grusinski, got up early to see if there was any reference to the incident in the “plan of the day.” He found none; when queried about it by others, he denied having seen anything. On the other hand, he was unable to find anyone else who was willing to talk about it.

Three occupants of a 1980 Olds Cutlass, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Vickie’s seven year old grandson, Colby, were on their way home through the southern tip of the east Texas piney woods when they noticed a large light above the trees some distance ahead. The light was briefly lost from view, but they saw it again when after rounding a curve they found themselves on a straight stretch of a two lane road on Highway FM 1485. This time it was approaching them, floating above the road at less than treetop height and belching flames from its bottom. Cash and the Landrums were only about 130 feet from the object. Escape was out of the question because the road was narrow and the shoulders soggy. If Betty Cash, who was driving, tried to turn around, she knew the car would get stuck. There was no other traffic on the desolate highway, so she stepped outside, as did the elder Landrum. But Colby’s frantic screams brought her back into the car.
The object, intensely bright and dull metallic silver in color, was shaped like a huge, upright diamond, with its top and bottom cut off so that they were flat rather than pointed. Small blue lights ringed the center, and periodically over the next five minutes flames shot out of the bottom, flaring outward to create a cone affect. All the while the witnesses felt their faces burning. The car was too hot to touch. At one point Vickie Landrum, leaning out the front window, steadied herself by putting her hands on the dashboard, only to find it molded to the shape of her fingers. A few minutes later, when Cash tried to get back into the car, the door handle burned her fingers. With a final blast of fire and heat, the UFO ascended slowly into the sky. But just as it was clearing the treetops, helicopters flew in from all directions. The helicopters and the UFO then were lost from view.
The three resumed their journey. Five minutes later they arrived at the intersection of FM 1485 and FM 2100 where they saw the UFO and the helicopters again. Cash counted 23 helicopters, all clearly visible because of the light from the diamond-shaped object was reflecting off them. Many of the aircraft were subsequently identified as large, double-rotor Boeing CH-47 Chinooks, used by the Army and Marines. The whole incident lasted a total of 20 minutes. Soon Betty Cash became extremely ill with large knots forming on her neck and scalp that soon became blisters. Her skin reddened and her eyes swelled. She vomited and experienced severe diarrhea. The Landrums suffered similar distress, but not quite as intense. In the morning Cash had lapse into near unconsciousness. She was eventually taken to the hospital in January 3 1981; she could not walk and had lost large patches of skin and clumps of hair. She was released after 12 days, but had to return to the hospital for another 15 days. A doctor who examined the patients reported strong evidence of damage as a result of ionizing radiation with the possibility of infrared or ultraviolet component as well. Betty Cash never fully recovered and suffered for years to come and in an ironic twist of fate she died on the anniversary of the bizarre encounter in December 29 1999, some say as a result of the initial encounter 19 years before.

DID ALIENS INVADE A NEW YOUR FARM IN 1880!
DID ALIENS INVADE A NEW YOUR FARM IN 1880!
Were they Aliens in 1880, when some rural school children saw the Little People?
The Cameron State Forest is located in Steuben Country and is about 15 miles to the southeast of Hornell, NY. The Cameron region was, and still is, the home to many farms and a lot of rattlesnakes. Even in present day, to get there is a drive up and down a lot of hilly terrain.
In the 1880s Cameron was as rural as you could get in upstate New York. There was no such thing as a school bus in those days. So going to school was the proverbial long five mile walk through the country side to a one room school house.
Elizabeth and her sister Eva and some of other children from local farming families made the long trek to their one room school house by walking the long, hilly, and twisting dirt roads on week days.
One day, as the school children were about to cross a familiar bridge over a local stream they stopped upon seeing something very strange. On the other side of the bridge and down on the creek bed the kids observed some strange tiny little people.
Elizabeth and Eva both later told her family that these beings were small, skinny, and oddly colored. They tell us that all the children were frightened by the sight of these little people, even the boys. These strangers didn’t look like anyone or anything thing they’d ever see. Their parents had cautioned them to wary of strangers so when the little people gestured for the children to cross the bridge, they all turned and ran for home.
Elizabeth and Eva later grew up to become a school teachers themselves and their account comes to us from a family oral history passed to their younger brother, who told it to his children who later told it to their children and grandchildren. I thank the family for sharing this story with us.
Let’s look at some sightings from around areas near Cameron, NY: Click here!

Was hovering disc UFO observing train crossing lights over Colorado?
The jury remains out on exactly what intelligence is operating UFOs in our skies, but one Colorado witness at Gunbarrel who was stopped at a train gate crossing reports the disc-shaped object hovered above him under 500 feet and then moved on once the train was gone, according to March 1, 2014, testimony in Case 54385.

Colorado Field Investigators Richard Evans and Deborah Evans investigated and closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
The witness was driving home from a friend’s home in Gunbarrel about midnight on September 8, 2007.
“Got to the train tracks,” the witness stated. “A train was coming and the boom gates came down.”
But then he looked up.
“Looked up while waiting for train to pass as I was sitting in my car. Saw a gray disc object hovering and watched this object for five minutes.”
Once the train passed and the gates rose, the witness continued driving.
“I proceeded to go east on highway 119 to Longmont.”
Looking back, the witness noticed the object was now moving – and going in the opposite direction.
“The possibility that the object was a balloon was carefully discussed, but the close proximity and lack of even the slightest movement rules out a balloon or even tethered balloon,” the field investigators stated in their report.
Michigan man, 78, describes silent ‘saucer-like’ object
A 78-year-old Michigan man recalls a UFO encounter in 1943 “as if it happened yesterday,” according to March 2, 2014, testimony in Case 54412.
The witness was a child outside playing in the dirt behind a cottage about 10 miles outside of Ludington when the object came into view.
“I saw a saucer-like object flying toward me,” the witness stated. “It then stopped over Hamlin Lake and after a second, went back the way it came from the other side of Hamlin Lake and on perhaps in the direction of Lake Michigan.”
The witness described the object.
“It didn’t make any noise and I didn’t see any windows. It just looked like a flying saucer. The speed was relatively slow and it seemed to stop for a moment over about the middle of the lake there and then reverse course going back in the direction it had come as if to say, ‘Oh, I’m going in the wrong direction.’”

Michigan Field Investigator Marie Cisneros investigated and closed the case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
“I spoke to the witness by phone and he stated that when a small child he witnessed an object coming towards him at Hamlin Lake. He was at an area called Sunset Bay which at the time was quite desolate with not many people habiting it. He states he was about six or seven at the time and was playing in the dirt with ants on the dirt dead-end road in back of the cottage about 10 miles outside of Ludington, Michigan. This object stopped at about the middle of the lake. He stated that it seemed to go back towards Lake Michigan – back along the same route. He states he was alone and there were no other witnesses. When asked if he could estimate its size, he stated that if a car was round, the object would be about that size. He stated it didn’t make any noise and he could see no discernible ‘windows.’ He states it ‘looked like a flying saucer.’ He feels the speed was relatively slow and it seemed to stop for a moment over about the middle of the lake and then reversed its course, going back in the direction it had come.”
California witness recalls UFO ‘bigger than mountain it came over’
A California witness recalls an encounter with a UFO “bigger than the mountain it came over” along Boca Reservoir near Truckee, according to March 3, 2014, testimony in Case 54423.
The reporting witness and a friend were about to go to sleep in a vehicle for the night while about 20 parents remained outside partying by a campfire when the object was first noticed on the other side of the river from where they were camping. The events occurred on August 10, 1985.
“There were no trees on that side of river,” the reporting witness stated. “It was a bare hill. This object was enormous! Bigger than the mountain it came over.”

The witness described the object.
“It proceeded very slowly over the mountain and directly over our camp. It had triangular-shaped lights all over the bottom as though there were smaller triangular-shaped ships on the bottom. The lights were red, green, and yellow triangular patterns – with white lights around them.”
The object could also be heard.
“It simply made a humming sound and flew right over us. There were pine trees on our side so right after it went over us; we could not see it anymore.”
California Assistant State Director Devlin Rugne investigated. He was unable to communicate with the witness, but stated in his report, “If we are to take this report at face value, I am closing the case out as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle based on its size and that ‘It had triangular shaped lights all over the bottom.’”
Mississippi couple reports low flying triangle UFO
A Mississippi couple driving southbound along Highway 45 between Saltillo and Tupelo report watching a black, triangle-shaped UFO that moved close to them, according to March 4, 2014, testimony in Case 54442.
The couple first noticed “three bright, white lights” that first appeared to be disc-shaped about 10:15 p.m. on February 7, 2014.

“We slowed down and began to watch it because the lights were so brightly glowing white,” the reporting witness stated. “It was in the distance at this point. It quickly changed direction and altitude.”
Mississippi Field Investigator Timothy Soper closed this case as a hoax. Many pieces of false information were included in the original report.
North Carolina UFO ‘size of storage shed’ moves toward ground
A North Carolina witness driving along Montford Cove Road near Union Mills reported watching a bright object moving toward the ground level that was about the size of “a large sized storage shed” when it reached the tree top level about 8:44 p.m. on March 4, 2014, according to testimony in Case 54460.
The witness was driving home from work and had just passed a church and a convenience store when a light in the sky first appeared to be a star.

“Remembering that it was cloudy, I said to myself, ‘That’s no star,’” the witness stated. “When I first saw it, approximately a mile away, maybe less, it was about the size of a basketball maybe a little larger. As I got closer, it was about the size of like a large sized storage shed.”
The object then appeared to descend behind a nearby hill.
North Carolina Field Investigator Sanford Davis investigated. After repeated attempts, the witness could not be reached. Davis closed the case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.
“It was most likely a helicopter or a light engine plane,” he stated.
Hovering triangle UFO photographed by Florida witness
A Port St. Lucie, FL, witness reported watching and photographing a triangle-shaped UFO that hovered and “moved erratically” in the sky for seven hours, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54490.

The event began about 11 p.m. on March 2, 2014, when the witness was at Jensen Beach and first saw the unidentified object. The report was filed by Florida MUFON State Section Director Mary Margaret Zimmer for the witness.
“Witness saw a dark gray object with bright lights on the bottom,” Zimmer stated. “The object appeared triangular in shape with blue light around the perimeter. A dime (at arm’s length) would cover the object. The object appeared ‘thick’ and about 50 feet long. The object hovered, flashed light and moved erratically.”
The case was investigated by Florida Field Investigators Louise Kizer and Mary Margaret Zimmer. After multiple attempts to reach the witness, the case was closed as Insufficient Evidence.
Florida Dad, kids chase low flying orb UFO
A Florida witness in Miami driving near 8th Street and 42nd Avenue with the kids in the backseat reported chasing and photographing an orb-shaped UFO moving low over commercial buildings, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54488.

The incident occurred just after 7:15 p.m. on February 28, 2014, as the witness noticed a “single light orb floating” nearby and became curious.
“Had the kids so decided to drive to it,” the witness stated. “But traffic began to build. I can see it going from one building top to another – low. When I couldn’t get around traffic I looked to the right and noticed another set across the street. This one was flicking in three set pulses and also low – above homes. This one was in my residence area.”
The witness quickly turned and began to follow the object.
“I managed to get some video at dusk as it flicked low and silently above homes towards the northwest. I had the kids with me, so after videoing it, I called off the tracking.”
The witness provided one image and one video with the MUFON report, which was filed on March 6, 2014. See Image 1 and Video 1.
Florida Field Investigator Thomas Branham closed the case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.
“I feel that there is a distinct possibility of a drone,” he stated. “The speed, flight movement, size, and closeness to the ground could all be consistent with the movement of a drone. A recent video of a drone filmed in New York City verifies that a small, modified, non-military drone can be operated from great distances which the witness was skeptical of. Also the pattern of the blinking light that seemed to come in a series of threes could be preset on the drone.
“Ruling out other possibilities I feel that the most credible possibility of this sighting is a drone.”
North Carolina witness ‘not afraid’ as low flying disc UFO moves away
A North Carolina witness in the Yanceyville-Blanch area reported not being afraid while watching a large, low flying, disc-shaped UFO because it was moving away, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54491.
The witness was outside with the family dog and watching the night sky when the object was first seen about 10:30 p.m. on January 15, 2014.

“It came from the right side of the house as I was facing west,” the witness stated. “It was so large I saw it immediately with peripheral vision and turned slightly to my right to see it track rapidly toward the west.”
The witness described the object’s movement.
“Movement was rapid but slow enough for me to get a good look to see defined edges; that it was oval from my vantage point and that it looked like it had clouds inside. I realized it was probably reflecting ground lights instead. There was no question that it was a disk of some sort. The sky was crystal clear with stars.”
North Carolina Field Investigator Sanford Davis closed this case as an Unknown.
“The witness said the object moved at about 60 mph in a straight line before it disappeared over the treetop,” Davis stated. “The total sighting lasted about 15 seconds. I Checked MUFON’s and NUFORC’s database for that time period and found no other similar sightings. The witness seemed intelligent and articulate. This was not her first sighing.”
California ghost town UFO witnesses give chase
A California witness recalls a late-night encounter at Calico Ghost Town with a silent 300-foot-wide triangle UFO just 300 feet off of the ground that outran his attempts to catch up to it, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54492.
The witness and three friends were sleeping outside at Calico during a September 1973 visit when the object was first seen about 2 a.m. One of the reporting witnesses’ friends pointed the object out.
“I rolled over and saw what I thought was the moon shining through a weather balloon and told Mike, ‘It’s just a weather balloon,’ and rolled back over.”
But his friend answered back, “That isn’t a balloon.”
“When I rolled over onto my back, I could now see a large triangular craft approximately 300 feet across and approximately 300 feet off of the ground slowly moving over the top of us. What I thought was the moon shining through a balloon now looked more like an observation bubble under the nose of the craft, and it was glowing a dull light purple in color.”
The witness described the object.
“As it moved over it made no sound, and I saw no lights, but as it cleared the moon you could see the light reflect off the craft and it gave it the color of gun metal blue, and the edges appeared to be rounded. It continued its slow moving progress away from us following the hills of the desert, and flying just above hill top level.”

The witness and one of his companions decided to give chase on foot.
“We followed running up hills, then down one and up another, but the craft got further away each time, so we stopped and just watched. I saw no sign of an engine and we heard no sounds.”
The witness stated that they were lucky to have seen it due to its stealth appearance and movement.
“Had it not been for the fact it flew right over the top of us, we would never even had known it was there. My feeling was that the craft was running in stealth mode, no lights and at very low levels to avoid detection. What struck me so odd was back then it was supposed to be fast moving, skinny disk-shaped objects, like in ‘Chariots of the Gods.’ I did not see anything like what we saw until I watched a program on TV describing the same thing I saw, except ours did not have any of the lights mentioned.”
California Chief Investigator Cinde Costello investigated and closed this case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.
“From many years of experience with viewing the sky at night, I’d say that there is a very good possibility that this object may have been a cloud crossing the moon,” Costello stated. “The witness was only 13 years old when this occurred, an age when even under normal conditions, many otherwise mundane things tend to take on a spookier quality than they truly are. On top of it all, research has proven that some of our memories aren’t exactly as accurate as we give them credit for.
“As a rule, that location in the summertime experiences monsoonal conditions, and many clouds are usually present in the sky, rain or no rain. His ‘Moon shining through a weather balloon’ description does sound typical for a cloud, and I feel certain that his reported distance of the object was much further away from them than he estimates. Without more to work with here, (she was unable to contact the witness), I’m going to go ahead and class as such: Misidentification. IFO-Natural Phenomenon.”

“As it moved over it made no sound, and I saw no lights, but as it cleared the moon you could see the light reflect off the craft and it gave it the color of gun metal blue, and the edges appeared to be rounded. It continued its slow moving progress away from us following the hills of the desert, and flying just above hill top level.”

The witness and one of his companions decided to give chase on foot.
“We followed running up hills, then down one and up another, but the craft got further away each time, so we stopped and just watched. I saw no sign of an engine and we heard no sounds.”
The witness stated that they were lucky to have seen it due to its stealth appearance and movement.
“Had it not been for the fact it flew right over the top of us, we would never even had known it was there. My feeling was that the craft was running in stealth mode, no lights and at very low levels to avoid detection. What struck me so odd was back then it was supposed to be fast moving, skinny disk-shaped objects, like in ‘Chariots of the Gods.’ I did not see anything like what we saw until I watched a program on TV describing the same thing I saw, except ours did not have any of the lights mentioned.”
California Chief Investigator Cinde Costello investigated and closed this case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.
“From many years of experience with viewing the sky at night, I’d say that there is a very good possibility that this object may have been a cloud crossing the moon,” Costello stated. “The witness was only 13 years old when this occurred, an age when even under normal conditions, many otherwise mundane things tend to take on a spookier quality than they truly are. On top of it all, research has proven that some of our memories aren’t exactly as accurate as we give them credit for.
“As a rule, that location in the summertime experiences monsoonal conditions, and many clouds are usually present in the sky, rain or no rain. His ‘Moon shining through a weather balloon’ description does sound typical for a cloud, and I feel certain that his reported distance of the object was much further away from them than he estimates. Without more to work with here, (she was unable to contact the witness), I’m going to go ahead and class as such: Misidentification. IFO-Natural Phenomenon.”

A Texas witness at Gainesville reported an “entire block filled with people” watched a large, triangle-shaped UFO that moved low over her neighborhood about 11 p.m. on June 26, 2014, according to testimony in Case 57403 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was returning home from work and traveling along Tyler Street in Gainesville when she noticed the entire block filled with people looking up into the sky and talking about a UFO.
“Many took footage on cell phones,” the witness stated. “The lights were lined up horizontally, and then right before it disappeared, the lights instantly lined up vertically as if the object turned on its side and then sped away.”
The witness said the object was very large.
“Looked like a solid object larger than a plane. No feelings other than awe.”
The witness said that a relative took cell phone video. Three images were provided with the MUFON report, which was filed on June 27, 2014 – Image 1, Image 2 and Image 3.

Gainesville is a city in and the county seat of Cooke County, TX, population 16,002.
Texas MUFON is investigating. Texas has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. Texas had 30 UFO reports in May 2014 – the 4th highest reporting state – while California had 102 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
SEXISM, RACISM AND UFOLOGY
SEXISM, RACISM AND UFOLOGY
In a previous UFO Digest column I examined the reasons behind the apparent difficulty that ufology has in attracting young people, and offered a few suggestions. I finished by pointing out that many of the ‘big names’ in the field (the ones most frequently seen on TV and the ones most often invited to speak at conferences) are white men in suits, usually middle-aged, if not considerably older. Ufology is hardly the only field where this is the case, but to see such an unrepresentative group of people may put off young people and deter them from attending conferences or otherwise getting involved in ufology.
If this apparent preponderance of middle-aged (and older) white men in suits puts off young people, does it have the same effect on women and ethnic minorities? And without wanting to downplay the under-representation issue, which is a problem in itself, is there anything else about ufology that is (or might be perceived as being) unwelcoming to women and ethnic minorities?
I shouldn’t overstate the problem in relation to women. There are certainly plenty of high-profile women in ufology, and a number of UFO conferences do have a pretty good male/female mix. That said, I can’t help but think that the “Women in Ufology” website wouldn’t be necessary if there wasn’t a problem here.
Even if there isn’t overt sexism, there are some more subtle situations that are nonetheless worthy of mention. To give an example, there was a time a few years ago when the area of alien abduction research was largely dominated by three charismatic individuals: Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs and John Mack. A disproportionate number of the abductees were female. Nobody is suggesting that Hopkins, Jacobs and Mack were sexist, but inevitably, the situation perpetuated stereotypes of women as victims and men as the powerful and heroic rescuers. Even if this is an oversimplification, the power dynamic was clear.
Let’s not for a moment suggest that this is some sort of ‘believer’ issue. As it happens, the skeptical movement (and the separate but related atheist community) is having huge problems at the moment with various issues related to feminism, including accusations of out-and-out sexism and possible sexual harassment on the part of some of some of the best-known personalities in the field. But saying that a problem is universal should never be an excuse for not trying to do something about it.
Getting back to ufology, and turning now to ethnic minorities, at least one host of a US talk-radio show that majors on UFOs and the paranormal has been accused of anti-Semitism, while a UK-based ufologist who runs a UFO discussion list also runs an anti-Semitic blog. On the specific issue of anti-Semitism, the crossover between the UFO community and the conspiracy theory community is particularly worrying, because while many conspiracy theorists genuinely believe the world is secretly run by a small group of families and a small cabal of international bankers, such phrases are often coded references to Jews. Within the conspiracy theory community, some of those who believe 9/11 was an ‘inside job’ suggest the attack was orchestrated by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, while others persist in believing the lie that Jewish workers in the Twin Towers were warned to stay away work on the day of the attack. In the UFO community, you’ll often hear people talk about media complicity in a UFO cover-up, and at a UFO conference in the UK I once heard this thought segue into “The Jews run Hollywood”. And this brings us full circle, because there’s no getting away from the fact that a number of high-profile ufologists are Jewish.
With regard to other ethnic minorities, I occasionally see disgusting and ignorant posts on UFO discussion forums where someone suggests that white people are descended from Nordic-looking aliens, whereas the other races are descended from apes. Given the nature of the internet, it’s difficult to tell if this sort of thing is the work of an isolated idiot (or a very small number of racists) posting under multiple identities, or whether there’s a more widespread problem here.
With the above point in mind, and at risk of offending a lot of people in the UFO community, I can’t help but wonder whether the whole ‘ancient aliens’ meme has had a part to play here. The idea that our ancient ancestors were incapable of technological achievements such as the pyramids, and that such works were actually undertaken (or at least made possible) by extraterrestrials is, arguably, a borderline racist theory itself.
Issues of sex and race are often complex, and always contentious. It may be that there are other factors that explain why women and – to a greater extent – ethnic minorities aren’t represented as much as one would expect in ufology, and it may be that there are other examples of direct or indirect sexism and racism in the field – this short article is not intended to be definitive. But if we don’t at least ask the question “Is there a problem here?” we can’t begin to look for any solutions. I’m not arguing for any sort of positive discrimination here. Such a move would probably be divisive and counter-productive. But I think that at the very least, the UFO community should ask itself some hard questions here and at least have a discussion about an aspect of the subject that most have chosen to ignore.
NICK POPE
Nick Pope is a former employee of the UK Ministry of Defense. From 1991 to 1994 he ran the British Government's UFO project and has recently been involved in a five-year initiative to declassify and release the entire archive of these UFO files. Nick Pope held a number of other fascinating posts in the course of his 21-year government career, which culminated in his serving as an acting Deputy Director in the Directorate of Defense Security. He now works as a broadcaster and journalist, covering subjects including space, fringe science, defense and intelligence. Nick Pope’s latest book, Encounter in Rendlesham Forest, co-written with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, was published by Thomas Dunne Books on 15th April and is available via Amazon and all good bookstores.

UFO CONFERENCES AND TELEVISION SHOWS OUT OF CONTROL
UFO CONFERENCES AND TELEVISION SHOWS OUT OF CONTROL
Recently I read some discussion on one of the internet lists referring to the type speakers being presented at several conferences, and how the word “paranormal” is many times grouped together to include serious UFO researchers with other types like Bigfoot, ghosts, ESP, faith healing, etc., at the same conference.
I had a personal experience with this a few years ago when I was master of ceremonies at a conference, and was asked to introduce some of the best-known serious researchers in the field of Ufology. I was also asked to introduce the other types mentioned above, and a “tin foil hat contest.” Since then I have refused to attend or be part of such conferences. Personally I have nothing against them, but feel UFO research is of such importance that it should not be combined with many that refer to themselves as paranormal.
When you are researching an incident like the Roswell Incident, where you know people were threatened over a weather balloon (of all things), that to me requires serious research, as do many other UFO cases reported over the years. All too often conference organizers and television documentary networks seem to overlook the seriousness of UFO research. With the networks it’s a matter of profit and ratings for their shows, and reality shows about UFOs have become the norm.
Within the past few years I have had several problems with those types of documentaries. When MTV was here in Roswell filming me, I walked off when the show host started making jokes about the Incident. Stanton Friedman, Don Schmitt and I were filmed for a National Geographic special, and after presenting our years of research for them, the show’s presenter announced at the end of the show that Roswell was “myth.”
One of the few good exceptions I experienced with a network show, was the Brad Meltzer “Decoded” series that aired on the History channel. The three people interviewing me had done some homework, and the show aired as it was filmed, the way it should be aired.
Many times film crews take our presentation on film back to Los Angeles or New York, and some editor puts his own take on it. Unfortunately, after a film crew finishes with us, we have no in-put in the final version that will be aired.
If UFO research is ever to be taken seriously, the media, particularly television networks, the news media, and some conference organizers need to realize tect of UFOs deserves accurate, factual reporting. There is a tremendous interest in the subject, as proven by the many surveys taken over the years, and those people surveyed deserve truthful information, primarily for the benefit of those that have had experiences, or worse, threatened if they talk about their experiences.
Before getting off of my “soap box,” I want to share two other situations that have arisen here in Roswell very recently.
A few weeks ago I received an email form an associate producer with the Vh1 network. He informed me they were doing a “docu-series,” traveling across the country with plans to stop in Roswell. They had read some of my research and knew about the Roswell UFO tours I do here in town, and were impressed with my work as a researcher. They wondered if I would be interested in sharing my experience and knowledge with a couple of “characters” on their show. My experience over the past few years caused me to throw up a red flag when I saw the word “characters.” I wrote back to them, asking when they would be in Roswell, and if the show was a serious take on the Roswell Incident, since they’d used the term characters?
Their response was what I expected: “the new show follows two woman from Atlanta, who are starting a “mobile hair salon,” and are driving the bus from Atlanta to Los Angeles, stopping in various cities along the way.
As might be expected, my response was short and to the point. I respectfully declined, due to its being another reality show. Also as expected, I didn’t hear from them again after my response.
My background consists of 3 years in an Army Engineering Battalion, and 33 years doing civil engineering work with the Texas Department of Highways, plus full time UFO research for the past 18 years. At my age (73), I don’t need to introduce tin foil hat contests; be interviewed by woman starting a hair solon; or mis-represented in the media or television documentaries.
Finally, a group of gentlemen have been working diligently for some time here in Roswell to create a veterans cemetery, so family members don’t have to travel 200 miles to Albuquerque to visit the resting place of their family’s veterans. The veteran’s cemetery is finally becoming a reality after working with the city of Roswell, the state of New Mexico, and a local funeral home.
The cemetery was featured on A&E’s “Shipping Wars” television show earlier this week, but the show wasn’t exactly delivered as promised. One segment of the show featured the delivery of a columbarium to the veteran’s cemetery, which happened a few weeks ago. A dedication was planned for the delivery of the columbarium. When the show aired, the veteran’s cemetery took a backseat to a tombstone dedicated to aliens, also delivered by A&E’s “Shipping Wars” driver. Local officials were assured that the alien would not usurp the Roswell segment. Locals had been told by A&E the alien footage would not be used with the cemetery footage, but rather in a different episode that A&E had planned about Roswell. Locals felt it was disrespectful to the veteran’s cemetery and to veteran’s in general. As a veteran myself, I believe A&E went too far this time.
The above comments are some examples of UFO research not being taken seriously, but packaged as light entertainment. This must change, and when a network makes an agreement as they had with the veteran’s cemetery board, and then breaks that agreement, legal action against that network should be in order.
Perhaps these documentary producers should try adhering to the quote I like to use,
“Always Telling the Truth Means Never Having to Remember Anything.”

VERY CLOSE SAUCER ENCOUNTER IN BALTIMORE VIRGINIA
VERY CLOSE SAUCER ENCOUNTER IN BALTIMORE VIRGINIA
JUNE 2, 2014 ….. NEW BALTIMORE VIRGINIA
Shape: Disk – Duration: 00:01 – I have no explanation about this disc-shaped object I saw before it disappeared. I live in Fauquier County, Virginia. I left my house with a friend around dusk. I was driving down Vint Hill Road due North toward Manassas, VA. My friend looked out the passenger window and made a comment about some cows in a field. I then turned the music up and continued to drive. As we came to an area in the road where you have to slow down for a sharp curve, my friend made a comment about something he saw hovering over in the field out the right window.
1500 ft. away. I immediately slowed to a stop. I put my hazard lights on starring at the object. It was sitting in the air almost motionless just hovering. I then turned the music down and proceeded to tell my friend to record the flying object. For about 15 to 30 seconds it stayed in one spot above the field. As the object slowly moved almost effortlessly in my direction, my friend began recording. It stayed completely level, not moving up or down just in a straight line toward my vehicle. I could make out the details of the saucer-like shape. It had individual bright blue circular lights wrapping around the center of a metallic silver reflective surface.
At this point I was in shock and disbelief of what I was witnessing. So entranced by the gleaming lights and saucer, I was completely oblivious if any cars were going to rear end me. All of a sudden, it just stopped less the 200 yds. away from my vehicle. At this point it started slowly spinning. Now knowing exactly what I was witnessing, I felt it time to leave as quickly as possible. Looking back within seconds of me continuing down the road. I looked back and the object was no longer there. My friend and I immediately scanned the sky around us and it was gone.

National UFO Alert: Seven states report 284 June cases
National UFO Alert: Seven states report 284 June cases
The National UFO Alert Rating System has been updated for July 2014, with California, Texas, Florida, Missouri, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania moving to a UFO Alert 2 or 3 as the highest reporting states during the month of June 2014, filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
California was the leading high-reporting state in June with 107 cases, up from 102 May cases, 80 April cases, 103 March cases, 59 February cases, and 102 January cases – the single state listed as an Alert 2 with 100 or more cases. The other top reporting states had 25 or more cases and are an Alert 3. They are Texas, Florida, Missouri, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Those states in a UFO Alert 4 category with 13 or more reports include: Ohio, Michigan, Colorado, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, South Carolina, Nevada, Oregon, Arizona and Wisconsin.
All other states move to a UFO Alert 5 category with lower numbers of UFO activity. The Watch States – with 10 or more cases – are Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee.
MUFON released June statistics July 1, where the total number of reported UFO sightings is listed by state. The entire country was moved back to the lowest alert level – UFO Alert 5.
California takes the lead with 107 cases; Texas, 38; Florida, 29; Missouri, 29; New York, 28; North Carolina, 27; and Pennsylvania, 26.
Those states with 13 or more reports, the next reporting tier level, are a UFO Alert 4 status: Ohio, 22; Michigan, 22; Colorado, 21; Washington, 18; Illinois, 17; New Jersey, 16; South Carolina, 16; Nevada, 14; Oregon, 14; Arizona, 13; and Wisconsin, 13.
Our Watch States this month are – with 10 reports or more: Alabama, 10; Kentucky, 10; and Tennessee, 10.
The sphere remains the most-reported UFO shape with 156 cases; up from 129 May cases; 150 April cases, 131 March cases, 91 February cases; and 240 January cases. Other shape reports include: Circle, 73; Star-Like, 72; Triangle, 68; Other, 57; Unknown, 56; Disc, 52; Fireball, 34; Oval, 33; Cylinder, 22; Cigar, 19; Boomerang, 17; Diamond, 15; N/A, 13; Teardrop, 7; Flash, 6; Cone, 5; Egg, 5; Bullet/Missile, 5; Blimp, 3; Saturn-like, 2; and Cross, 1.
The object’s distance from the witness includes: Less than 100 feet, 92 cases; 101 to 500 feet, 102 cases; 501 feet to one mile, 166 cases; over one mile, 186 cases; unknown, 246; and no value stated, 21.
In addition, there were “28 landings, hoverings, or takeoffs reported and 2 entities observed.”
The most interesting UFO reports do not necessarily come from high reporting states – but those states with higher numbers do account for some of the most interesting evidence to study. While UFO sightings seem to pop up randomly around the country, this list is meant to offer a small insight into where Americans are filing reports.

Daily 2 Cents: Why Exorcisms Are So Fascinating — Unusual Apparition — Mystical Bees and Possessed Snakes Killing Boko Haram Members
Why Exorcisms Are So Fascinating
Each year, Hollywood releases at least one new film about demonic possession. Nicholas Barber explains why these movies are still so popular.
It’s the same old story. Someone starts gnashing their teeth and scratching the furniture. Someone else declares that they’ve been possessed by a demon. A third party scoffs at the idea, but a priest is soon brandishing a crucifix and shouting something in Latin. And eventually, about an hour later, the teeth-gnasher returns to normal. Horror films about exorcisms haven’t moved on since William Friedkin’s The Exorcist terrified audiences in 1973. Remarkably, the sub-genre may now be more popular than ever.
The latest example is Deliver Us from Evil, starring Eric Bana and Édgar Ramirez. But there has been at least one Hollywood exorcism movie every year for a decade. In 2013, there was The Conjuring and The Last Exorcism: Part 2. In 2012, there was The Devil Inside. In 2011 there was The Rite, and so on back to Exorcist: The Beginning in 2004. “There’s a reason why exorcism is now a staple of cinema,” says Mark Kermode, BBC Radio 5 Live’s film critic, and a long-time champion of The Exorcist. “It’s because it’s so theatrical. The exorcism ritual is basically people in costumes reading out quite florid prose.”
Exorcisms crop up in earlier films, notably Ken Russell’s The Devils – another of Kermode’s favourites – and Mother Joan of the Angels, a Cannes prizewinner from 1961. But it was The Exorcist that defined the sub-genre as it exists today. “Everyone knows that you cannot use the word ‘exorcist’ without thinking of that one film,” says Kermode. “It’s part of horror shorthand. You can’t say ‘chainsaw’ without referring to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you can’t say ‘psycho’ without referring to Psycho, and it’s the same with The Exorcist. It’s become a meme.” Read more at BBC

Ufologist Stanton Friedman recovering
As I reported Sunday, ufologist Stanton Friedman suffered a mild heart attack last Friday night. His friend and co-author Kathleen Marden states:
I spoke with Stan Friedman this morning and am very pleased to report that he is feeling strong and chipper. His heart enzymes have declined, so he has turned the corner. He wants me to make it clear that he will be transported to a larger hospital, only because his local facility doesn’t have the equipment to do a dye test and an echo cardiogram. This will probably occur today or Wednesday, as July 1 is a national holiday in Canada.
Well wishers can send cards to Stan at P.O. Box 958, Houlton, ME 04730. He appreciates everyone’s thoughts and prayers.

Unusual Apparition Caught on Video
From the district of Yopougon, Abidjan, in Ivory Coast. It certainly seems spectacular. This scene, to which we have previously linked, whereby those living in the West African country shout and scream and (with cell phones) record a miracle of the sun reminding one of Fatima, Medjugorje, Betania, and the apparitions of Kibeho in Rwanda on the same continent (which were preceded by similarly tremendous solar happenings and later holy images that thousands witnessed). The sun “miracle” is one thing. But starting at about 44 seconds into video and something seems to begin materializing in the flare just above the trees as the crowd cries and shouts and then goes haywire as a dark but detailed silhouette of the Blessed Mother greatly resembling the Miraculous Medal suddenly appears, disappears, and appears again in a vaguely blue cloak, the onlookers — “thousands”, according to one unconfirmed report — now in a frenzy which seemed spontaneous and unrehearsed and is the most convincing aspect. It does seem to be moving — the “Virgin” waffling and floating above trees and there is no denying the crowd reaction to something. What is It?
NOTE: I seem to remember seeing this video several years ago…though it is a dramatic video. Lon

Boko Haram Members ‘Being Killed by Mystical Bees and Mysterious Snakes Possessed by Ghosts’
Members of terror group Boko Haram have allegedly been arrested in Nigeria after fleeing a forest to escape deadly bites from “mystical bees” and “mysterious snakes”.
According to Nigerian newspaper Vanguard, the captured insurgents claimed the creatures — possessed by ghosts — had killed many Boko Haram members.
“We were told that the aggrieved people who had suffered from our deadly mission — including the ghosts of some of those we killed — are the ones turning into the snake and bees,” one militant told Vanguard. “Our leaders fled, too.”
Boko Haram made headlines worldwide for the kidnappings of 220 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State, last April.
The girls are being allegedly smuggled to Cameroon and Chad and sold as brides to militants for 2,000 naira (£7). Others are being forced to marry their abductors.
Some Boko Haram members believe the insects and reptiles are hunting the insurgents to punish them for the mass abduction.
“We decided to flee when almost all our comrades are leaving the Sambisa [Forest] because of constant attacks by snakes and bees, which we were told was as a result of Chibok abducted schoolgirls,” one insurgent said.
Boko Haram, which fights against the Westernisation of Nigeria and wants to establish an Islamic state, abducted 60 more women and girls and 31 boys in Kummabza village, Borno State, in June.
Toddlers are believed to be among the latest kidnap victims.
The militants, currently led by Abubakar Shekau, carry out deadly attacks in public places including schools, churches and police stations.
Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2002 and 2013. – Yahoo

WikiLeaks Documents Discuss Extraterrestrials, UFOs
WikiLeaks Documents Discuss Extraterrestrials, UFOs
The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In “Beyond Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.
Here’s a look at some of the mentions of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and extraterrestrials in the U.S. government cables released by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Albinas Januska (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
1. Prominent Lithuanian Politician Says UFOs Directed by Russians to Exert Influence
A 2006 cable from the American Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania, recounts a cryptic comment by the Prime Minister’s adviser Albinas Januska. The cable states: “Reflecting his self-image as a patriot fighting off Russian influence, he [Januska] also warned of the existence of ‘a group of people, who are directed from the East, a group of UFOs, who are making influence from the Cosmos,’ adding elliptically that, ‘there also exists a decreasing group of persons, who are trying to rationally analyze the situation and to objectively evaluate what is happening.’”
UFOs can refer to unidentified foreign organizations as well as to unidentified flying objects; aside from his reference to the cosmos, it could seem Januska meant the former. Januska held much power in the country, as is noted in the cable: “Albinas Januska’s continuing influence in Lithuanian politics cannot be overstated. In addition to being a cunning strategist, he is extraordinarily well-connected among Lithuania’s political class.”
2. Tajik Mayor Says There’s Life on Other Planets, Peace and Unity on Earth Necessary
Tajikstan is a Central Asian country bordered by Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and China. The mayor of the Tajik city of Dushanbe, Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloev, met with U.S. Ambassador Ken Gross in 2010. Gross summarized his meeting with Ubaidulloev in a classified document later released by Wikileaks.
The talk mostly concerned opening an American corner in the city, upcoming elections, the losses suffered by Tajiks and Americans in Afghanistan, and a dam project. But the topic of extraterrestrials also entered the conversation.
Gross wrote: “[Ubaidulloev] asserted the existence of life on other planets, caveating this by noting that we should focus on solving our problems on Earth.” Gross quoted Ubaidulloev: “We know there is life on other planets, but we must make peace here first.”
The chat was not a pleasant one for Gross, who summed it up as “a right painful 90 minutes.” Gross characterized Ubaidulloev as “difficult, unpredictable, and sometimes hostile.” During their meeting, the mayor obviously lied about free elections, voluntary contributions to the dam project, and free media, according to Gross.
Rael, leader of the Raelian movement.
3. UFO Religion in Canada Allegedly Tries to Clone Humans
A couple of unclassified documents, one listed as coming from the American Embassy in Ottawa and the other from the American Consulate in Montreal, express some concern over the Raelian religion in Canada.
The Raelians believe humanity was created by extraterrestrials as a lab experiment, according to the documents. They had targeted high schools in the province of Quebec to persuade Roman Catholics to renounce their faith. The Raelians even had a plan to give students crosses to burn, according to the cables.
One of the documents cites local news analysis in stating that: “The ultimate goal of Raelians is to create life in a laboratory which would make human beings immortal and enable them to create another civilization on another planet. In the meantime … [they] want to build an embassy in Israel to welcome the Elohim when they come back in 2035. The group has also been criticized for advocating the use of genetics for eugenic attempts at improving the human race.”
At the time the cable was written, the group had claimed to have successfully cloned a human.
Other references to extraterrestrials and UFOs in the WikiLeaks documents include the following:

Belarussian Minister of Defense Yuriy Zhadobin said in an unclassified cable that the ministry no longer investigates paranormal phenomena as it did in Soviet times due to lack of funds. Another unclassified cable mentioned that Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Machimura believes extraterrestrials have flown spaceships near Earth and he was not happy about his government’s first official dismissal of all UFO reports. Another discussed the tsunami predictions made by French author Eric Julien who has said he was abducted by aliens. The cable states that Julien “claimed he had received information psychically,” learning that “a comet fragment would crash into the Atlantic Ocean on May 25, 2006, and cause a giant tsunami.” The prediction did not come to pass.

Our genes have an intelligently designed “manufacturer’s stamp” inside them, written aeons ago elsewhere in our galaxy? Such a “designer label” would be an indelible stamp of a master extraterrestrial civilization that preceded us by many millions or billions of years. As their ultimate legacy, they recast the Milky Way in their own biological image.
What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world.

Farmer wants reparations from aliens for crop circle damage
Farmer wants reparations from aliens for crop circle damage
A crop circle appeared in the Czech Republic town of Boskovice on Saturday, June 28.

This large pattern reportedly appeared overnight, occupying nearly 65,000 square feet of Jan Karlik’s corn field. And he is understandably furious. The crop circle has attracted lots of attention from curious individuals who come into the field, causing additional crop damage to the already approximately $1,000 worth of damage caused by the design. Karlik wants reparations from whoever created the crop circle. He states, “I don’t care where they were from, even if they are aliens, they need to be made to pay.”
The Croatian Times describes this design as “a 4-pointed star, framed by a circle with mysterious Stonehenge-shaped blocks set in a smaller circle.” A local government spokesperson explains, “The corn is not broken, it’s just bent to the ground. But it is beginning to attract a lot of attention and the farmer wants his land protected from curious visitors who are likely to make the matter worse if they start walking over the ground as well.”

Farmers in England whose fields become targets of crop circles are all too familiar with the frustration of crop circle enthusiasts trampling their fields to observe the formations. That is why a crop circle access pass program was launched last year. This pass program works by granting purchasers of the pass access to participating fields, requiring the pass holders to agree to a set of rules that ensure the respectful use of the farmers’ crops. Participating farmers split the proceeds from the access pass sales.
Unfortunately for Karlik, no such program exists in the Czech Republic. The Croatian Times reports that local police are “keeping an open mind.” And a police spokesperson states, “Extraterrestrial civilisations and the influence of air vortices are not excluded, but we are currently concentrating on looking for human culprits.”

Trailer Park Encounter
Trailer Park Encounter
A friend in Canada told me about a large orange orb that recently passed over his house…similar to an object he encountered, but much closer, several years ago. I started digging into the archives and found another orb sighting that progressed into a startling event for the witnesses:
Springboro, PA – 7/1/2000: Hello, It’s 5/24/10 – I’m 26 year’s old with two little girls…
I don’t really know who to tell my story to.
I’ve had these strange sorts of events happening to me throughout my life. They were coupled with different feelings… confusion, fear, disbelief.
None of it really made sense until I saw in detail what I’m about to tell you. I knew that everything I had questioned before was no longer questionable. It was undisputed in my mind. It has been going on my entire life and now there is finally an event that proves (to me) that this is real.
I’ll start by telling you that my cousin Bud was with me when this happened… He has been in the navy now for about 8 years. He is a trustworthy person and his word means a lot to everyone that knows him. Not only is it me telling the story, but he can verify that what I’m telling you is true.
My cousin and myself were sitting on the back porch of my house (which was also my bedroom). It was my bedroom at the time because it was a room enclosed with glass walls. Some of the sections of the glass had been removed and either had screens remaining or nothing left in them at all. Since it was summer, this wasn’t really a problem. I actually loved being in a room that allowed me to look outside at nature and even the stars.
We had a couch-bed in the room that was unfolded at the time. It was unfolded for most of the summer so that my cousin could sleep over and “hang out” with me. The backside of the couch-bed was placed against the glass, so the unfolded bed occupied the space in the room facing the house.
We were laying in bed trying to sleep but we spent most of our time talking instead. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a red glowing orb that came into view from behind the house and was slowly moving across the sky.
I got Bud’s attention and we both watched the orb move across the treeline that was north of the trailer park. It seemed to not be as far away as a plane should be. It look to be about the size of a basketball approximately 50 yards away. I then realized that it was getting closer and that it clearly was not a plane.
As it moved across the sky, we watched as this incredible UFO was slowly moving toward a treeline where we assumed it would disappear out of our lives forever.
But instead of disappearing into the sky… I could still see it through the trees moving towards the ground. I could clearly see it flickering through the trees and I would estimate it to be approximately 10 feet off of the ground as it entered the field on the left. It had clearly made a 90 degree turn. At this point in time I realized that it was probably in the field that was on the other side of the treeline. (Treeline: small patch of woods separating the trailer park and a field.)
It traveled the length of the field before I could not see it through the trees anymore. I would estimate the length of the field to be about 200 yards.
My cousin and myself sat in awe even after we could not see the UFO anymore. He turned to me and said “let’s go check it out!” I sternly answered with, “hell no! are you f**king crazy??” I was not sure what I had just seen but I had a gut feeling that I did not want to find out. So, we waited… waited… two young boys waiting to see something else as amazing as what they had just witnessed.
Then it happened…
A flash, as if someone had taken a picture from a camera, appeared at my friend Serena’s trailer. It was on the other side of her trailer, preventing me from seeing the source of the flash.
Approximately two minutes later, another flash… this time, from the side of her trailer. I still couldn’t clearly see the source of the flash.
At this point, my cousin and I were starting to think something strange was happening.
A few moments later, another flash. This time, I could clearly see the source of the flash… nothing. It appeared as if the flash was angled towards Serena’s house, although there was no source of the flash. There was absolutely nothing visible to the naked eye that created this OBVIOUS flash. Bud and myself both KNEW that flashes that are that distinct do NOT come from NOTHING.
We waited about five more minutes still staring out into the trailer court through my glass room. We were now more worried about what was in the court than what we had seen earlier. Without speaking to each other for what seemed like five or ten minutes, another flash happened.
This time it was at my friend “T”‘s house – directly in front of my house. The flash was on the other side of the trailer and appeared to be aimed at his mothers bedroom. Again we waited… wondering what the flashes were.
Another couple minutes had gone by. Another flash.
This time, it was clearly pointed at “T”‘s window and there was NOTHING at the source of the flash. In my mind I could pinpoint, to the INCH, where the flash had started, yet there was nothing there. Bud looked to me and said “what the hell are those flashes?” I had no reply. I wanted to remain silent and hidden from whatever had been making the flashes.
Again we waited.
About another five minutes passed when there was a flash on the other side of Mr. Wilson’s house. (That wasn’t his real name, but we knew him as Mr. Wilson in the trailer park.)
So, we waited what seemed like forever. In reality, it was probably 15 to 20 minutes with no sign of flashes or anything similar to them.
Quite suddenly, Bud looked at me and said “well, I’m getting tired. wake me if anything happens.” He then put his head right down on his hands where he was sitting (propped up on his knees on the backside of the couch bed).
I said, “okay” but wondered how anybody in their right mind could just fall asleep that fast after witnessing what we had witnessed. In my mind, I would not go to sleep until the sun was up and people were awake.
I started to get the strange feeling that the happening wasn’t over. Then… I started piecing things together that were quite simple and obvious.
1. Serena lives with her mother and father. There were 3 flashes at her trailer. (aimed at their bedrooms…)
2. “T” lives with his mother. There were 2 flashes at his trailer. (aimed at their bedrooms, also…)
3. Mr. Wilson lives alone. There was one flash.I figured that if they had gone through flashing every individual, as they went around from left to right in the court, since Wilson was last they had to turn around and come up the other line of trailers… starting with mine.
I almost panicked as I came to the realization of what I believed was true.
I turned my head in the direction of where I believed the thing causing the flash to be. As I turned my head I could clearly see out my window (one that did not have glass or screen in it – open – nothing obstructing my view) an alien. I had turned quick enough to spot him before I saw a flash come from, what seemed like, his forehead……….
When the flash hit me, he disappeared and I realized I was completely paralyzed. As I tried to move my limbs, I looked around to realize that I was no longer on the same part of my bed that I had been during the flash. I was, in fact, at the foot of my bed on my knees staring at the open window as if nothing had happened. Instantly, the numbness was gone.
I grabbed the back of Bud’s leg (because he was in the same position that he had been in when he laid his head down…)
It appeared that he had not moved at all. But somehow I was at least 4 feet away from where I was when I had seen the flash…? When I grabbed his leg I screamed extremely loud “BUD! wake up!” His head came off of his hands with his eyes wide as if he knew something wasn’t right.
We didn’t have to say anything to each other as we both jumped up and ran into the kitchen. We each armed ourselves with butcher knives, not knowing how much time had gone by or if the threat was still around. He asked me what had happened. The only way I could really describe it to him was “I was flashed..” Bud KNEW what I meant by that, which told me that I wasn’t just seeing things and that I wasn’t alone.
After about two minutes of silence.. waiting for something else to happen.. we finally laughed at the fact that we were standing armed in the kitchen with knives… waiting for aliens to come.
It seemed ridiculous to us.. Although it had clearly just happened, we couldn’t really wrap our minds around it. So, we laughed it off and this time we went to bed INSIDE of the house, instead of the room surrounded with glass windows.

‘Hammer of Thor’ unearthed: Runes on 1,000-year-old amulet solve mystery of why Viking charms were worn for protection
‘Hammer of Thor’ unearthed: Runes on 1,000-year-old amulet solve mystery of why Viking charms were worn for protection
In Norse mythology, Thor’s hammer helped prevent giants from destroying Asgard, the celestial home of the gods.
Thousands of tiny intricate amulets, similar to this weapon, have been found all over the Viking world since the first millennium CE.
But for years, researchers have been unsure whether the amulets, known as ‘torshammere’, were a representation of Thor’s hammer or something else entirely.
Researchers have been unsure whether the amulets, known as torshammere, were a representation of Thor’s hammer or something else entirely. Now archaeologists have unearthed a 10th century torshammere (pictured) on a Danish island that could finally end the debate
Now, archaeologists have unearthed a 10th century torshammere in Købelev, on the Danish island of Lolland, that could finally end the debate on how Thor’s legend influenced Viking jewellery.
The latest find is unusual as it has runes inscribed that reads ‘Hmar x is’ meaning ‘This is a Hammer’.
‘It was the amulet’s protective power that counted, and often we see torshammere and Christian crosses appearing together, providing double protection’, said Peter Pentz, an archaeologist at the National Museum of Denmark.
Both sides of the amulet are shown here with runes seen on the left image. The latest find is unusual as it has runes inscribed that reads ‘Hmar x is’ (This is a Hammer’)
In Norse mythology, Thor’s hammer helped prevent the giants from destroying Asgard, the home of the gods. Pictured is actor Chris Hemsworth in the 2011 film ‘Thor’
In Norse mythology, Mjölnir (pronounced roughly ‘miol-neer’) is the name given to the hammer of Thor, a major Norse god associated with thunder.
The hammer is described in Norse mythology as one of the most powerful weapons, capable of levelling mountains.
It was used by Thor to guard Asgard, the celestial stronghold of the Aesir, the main tribe of gods and goddesses in Norse mythology.
As well as being a weapon, legend has it that Thor’s hammer also occupied a key role in religous rituals of cleansing.
It was used in formal ceremonies to bless marriages, births, and possibly funerals. In one tale, Thor once killed and ate his goats, then brought them back to life by hallowing their bones with his hammer.
This object is cast in bronze and has traces of silver or tin and gold plating, according to a report in Past Horizons.
Mr Pentz said he grateful to the unknown rune writer who has confirmed that these amulets do depict Thor’s hammer – a lasting symbol of Viking culture.
The fact that the person who made the hammer was literate is a source of fascination for archaeologists.
They claim the amulet could indicate that literacy was widespread among craftspeople.
The runes range in height from 3 to 7mm, so it required precision to inscribe them onto the amulet.
As well as the torshammere, the archaeologists recovered fragments of silver needles and a mould for making brooches.
These suggest that there may have been a workshop producing jewellery nearby.
Museum Lolland-Falster, who reported the discovery, has no plans to excavate the Viking site at Købelev, but said it will continue metal detector surveys.

Mysterieuze Toengoeska-explosie tot wel 1000 keer krachtiger dan atoombom
Gisteren was het precies 106 jaar geleden dat Siberië werd opgeschrikt door een enorme explosie waar tot op de dag van vandaag nog geen definitieve verklaring voor is gevonden. De explosie vond plaats in Toengoeska, in een afgelegen bosrijk gebied.
De ontploffing had een kracht van 15 megaton TNT en was daarmee tot wel 1000 keer krachtiger dan de atoombom op Hiroshima in Japan. De dreun werd tot op vele duizenden kilometers gehoord.
De lokale bevolking dacht dat de explosie was veroorzaakt door een god, die het volk wilde straffen. Wetenschappers waren van mening dat een meteoor verantwoordelijk was geweest voor de knal.
Pas na 20 jaar reisden de eerste Russische wetenschappers af naar het gebied om de rampplek te onderzoeken. Als het een meteoor was geweest, zouden ze een krater en fragmenten moeten vinden. Er was geen krater te zien. Er werden ook nooit fragmenten gevonden.
Rond het epicentrum van de explosie, een klein perceel met onaangetaste bomen, waren bomen in een gebied van bijna 1300 vierkante kilometer aan de basis van de stam afgebroken. De explosie deed denken aan een atoombom. Pas 20 jaar na het incident, in de jaren dertig, werd echter voor het eerst gewerkt aan de ontwikkeling van kernwapens.
Twee theorieën
Wetenschappers vermoeden dat een brok ijs van een komeet ter grootte van een voetbalveld de atmosfeer van de aarde is binnengedrongen. Op enkele kilometers boven het bos zou het zijn geëxplodeerd. Omdat het uit ijs bestond, werden verder geen sporen achtergelaten.
Anderen menen dat de explosie is veroorzaakt door een kernaangedreven buitenaards ruimteschip dat op aarde is neergestort. Meer dan 100 jaar na het incident hebben beide kampen nog geen overeenstemming kunnen bereiken.
Art Cashin van UBS schrijft op nieuwssite Business Insider dat hij zich niet kan vinden in de wetenschappelijke theorie: “In die tijd waren er veel astronomen en telescopen. Ze zochten naar nieuwe planeten als Pluto. Of ze brachten de baan van kometen in kaart. Als ze zo slim waren, hoe konden deze slimme astronomen dan zoiets groots over het hoofd hebben gezien?”
Vooralsnog blijft dit mysterie onopgelost, aldus de site.
NASA Tests Flying Saucer Craft For Future Manned Mission To Mars

NASA tests flying saucer craft for future manned mission to Mars
(CNN) — If you think you saw a flying saucer Saturday over Hawaii, you might not be crazy — except what you saw didn’t come from outer space, though that may be its ultimate destination.
After several weather-related delays this month, NASA’s new spacecraft lifted off from the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Missile Range facility in Kauai, Hawaii, on Saturday morning.
The space agency said its Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator, or LDSD, went up at 8:45 a.m. (2:45 p.m. ET), carried aloft by a giant balloon on a mission to test landing technologies for a future human mission to Mars.
Shortly after 11 a.m., the test vehicle dropped from the balloon and the “powered flight,” as NASA described it, began. At this point, the disc-like LDSD was about 120,000 feet, or more than 20 miles, above Earth.
NASA said their current information indicates the spacecraft’s rocket fired just as they hoped, with the expectation that it would rise up to about 180,000 feet, reaching the stratosphere.
Eventually, a donut-shaped tube inflated — which makes the whole thing look like a flying saucer — thus beginning the deceleration process. The next thing that was supposed to slow the vehicle’s descent was a giant parachute, though NASA acknowledged it “did not deploy as expected.”
The whole process ended with the vehicle’s splashdown in the Pacific about 11:35 a.m., or 30 minutes after it was released from the balloon.
“From what we know, the test was successful,” said Shannon Ridinger, a NASA spokeswoman.
Ridinger noted that noted NASA officials are still going through the data to assess everything what happened, noting that the only flaw known right now was that the parachute the space agency was testing had “an issue.”
Project managers are expected to give a more thorough rundown of how things went on Sunday morning.
Current technology for decelerating from high speeds during re-entry into the atmosphere to the final stages of landing on Mars dates back to NASA’s Viking Program, which put two landers on the Martian surface in 1976.
The basic Viking parachute design has been used ever since. It was successfully used again in 2012 to deliver the rover Curiosity to Mars.
Curiosity, by the way, just celebrated the anniversary of its first Martian year on the Red Planet.
NASA will need new and improved landing technologies to handle the larger spaceships of tomorrow and land them on rocky surfaces.

Karen Hudes – World Bank “Whistleblower” Who Believes World Bank Controlled By Second Species (Video)
Karen Hudes – World Bank “Whistleblower” Who Believes World Bank Controlled By Second Species (Video)
Reporters love nothing more than a source with important inside information about the secret operations of a powerful institution. For the public, the word “whistleblower” evokes the individual citizen putting themselves at risk to stop wrongdoing by an employer. It’s a powerful idea – one justifiably lauded both in fiction and fact, and protected and encouraged by a set of federal laws set up precisely to encourage such heroic behavior. But not all whistleblowers are created equal. In fact, there is a business model based entirely on former employees couching in the terminology of whistleblowing falsehoods motivated either by self-interest or paranoid delusion.
Meet Karen Hudes, whose bio says she worked as an attorney at the World Bank from 1986-2007, during which time, she says, she revealed conspiracies such as one she says involved a crony of then president of the Philippines illegally taking control of a bank in that country. Hudes says that these revelations eventually led to her firing. She now makes her career as an anti-bank activist billing herself as the “World Bank Whistleblower”. Using that as her brand, Hudes has been able to build a small but devoted following among consumers of the so-called alternative media. (Her name occasionally makes its way into more mainstream forums, such as in a recent speech by actor Edward James Olmos.)
For a news organization that is looking for ammunition in the war against banks but is not particularly concerned about accuracy, Karen Hudes presents the intriguing possibility of unfettered access to information about the unimaginable evils banks do behind closed doors. But this lack of concern about accuracy comes with a very obvious risk. What if the purported whistleblower making charges against their former employers also makes other statements which reveal that the “whistleblower” (to put it politely) is very obviously unreliable?
Hudes says that she was fired by the World Bank after her 21 years of work there because she spoke out about issues related to “massive, massive, massive corruption” which the World Bank wants kept quiet. Just how massive is this corruption? Hudes says that the US gold reserves have been stolen by the Jesuits under the direction of a person she calls “the Black Pope” and that the US gold now resides in the Vatican. Oh, and she says that the “Black Pope” is not a human, but is of what she calls “a second species”. As she recently explained on a podcast:
“There’s a second species on this planet. They’re not extraterrestrials. They’re very much with us. They made maps in the previous ice age. The remnants of their civilizations are all over the place – a lot of times along the coast. It’s submerged because the sea level has gone up by 400 meters. This group has large brains. They’re very distinct from homo sapiens. Their DNA is so different, that if the two species mated, their offspring would be infertile, and we know this because their DNA was just tested. They have skulls all over the place because they have been on earth with us. But after the ice age, there weren’t that many of them, so they’ve been hiding, and one of the places that’s they’ve been hiding is in the Vatican. That’s why the Vatican are wearing those miters. It turns out that that’s what the high priest wore in the early beginnings of Judaism. Moses was actually Akhenaten, who was a pharaoh. They know this because the papyra that was taken from one of the pyramids talks about this. The people who are doing archeology in Israel know this. And the reason is, not only is homo capensis (?) trying to keep human beings under control by divide and conquer using our money system, they’ve also been doing this with our religions – organized religions – trying to get human beings to hate people of different religious faiths so that they will kill each other off, so that the people who are manipulating human beings could … use us like cattle. That’s what’s been going on through our history.”
Hudes goes on in the interview to explain that she learned of the existence of this world-controlling, large-brained, non-human species from “a retired neurologist named Edward Spencer,” and that his views were confirmed to her by an unnamed email correspondent in Portugal who, she says, attended a meeting of large-headed hominids with inhuman blue eyes. Hudes also claims to be part of a network of whistleblowers from various financial institutions who have taken their concerns to the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions. Hudes and Spencer have also sent emails about this conspiracy to a long list of US military and government officials. (Another Hudes podcast interview on this subject is available here. More details about Hudes’ and Spencers’ beliefs are available here.)
Hudes has appeared several times on RT, where she’s billed as “the World Bank Whisteblower”, discussing everything from Obamacare to the government shutdown to the NSA. In those appearances, she fails to mention the “Black Pope” or large-brained hominids. Instead, she gives RT audiences what they expect: conspiracy theories involving bankers controlling the US and dire predictions of the economic collapse of the West.
In June 2013, Hudes was interviewed by Abby Martin in a segment of her RT program Breaking the Set. Although Martin’s introduction promised shocking revelations of World Bank corruption involving money laundering, no such revelations were forthcoming, only a series of unsupported charges.
In the interview, Hudes first claims that she knew of a scheme involving the theft of $180 billion dollars from the World Bank, that she reported this to her superiors there, and that she was fired for pursuing the matter in spite of intervention by several US senators on her behalf. Oddly, Hudes fails to take advantage of the opportunity to reveal details of this theft, which would surely be one of the biggest news stories of all time. Instead, Hudes starts down another path, claiming that 188 ministers of finance and the US Congress were involved in covering up the theft of $900 million dollars of funds designated for fighting poverty in the Philippines. She says that she’s part of an international network of World Bank whistleblowers who are trying to reveal a massive conspiracy of international bankers and prevent what she describes as “a currency war” ending in the collapse of the world financial system.
Martin then asks Hudes why “the corporate media” has failed to report on these “facts,” to which Hudes replies that it’s because the media is owned by a single conglomerate with an interest in maintaining the cover-up.
“They’re part of this scheme to rip off everyone, every single citizen on this planet. That’s what I’m talking about.” Hudes goes on to claim that her allegations have been confirmed by a study conducted by the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, although the findings she recounts don’t relate in any way to her charges. Instead, as she describes it, the study found that a small group of elite business leaders control 40% of the world’s assets. Based on this fact, Hudes says (in what charitably could be described as a non sequitur) paper money now has no value, and that “pretty soon, in a matter of weeks probably, the whole system is going to come to a screeching halt with something called ‘gold backwardization’.”
Rapidly changing the subject, Martin asks Hudes about banks controlling the US political system. Hudes says this is proved by the fact that former World Bank president Robert Zoellick worked for the 2012 Mitt Romney campaign and that, she says, the media failed to report this. She also says cryptically that she asked CBS to report on international corruption “and they said the public didn’t need to know.” The host wraps up the interview by asking Hudes why her “revelations” haven’t “incurred the wrath of the government” as have those of Edward Snowden. Hudes answers that she doesn’t know, but thinks that the government may be “using Eric Snowden (sic) to stir up the public.”
Subsequent to that bizarre interview, which lasted only 8 minutes, RT had Hudes back in October for a 24 minute in-depth interview on Sophie Shevardnadze’s program, giving Hudes an opportunity to flesh out her theories. (Video and transcript available here.) Unfortunately for everyone involved, this interview is notable for largely being so incoherent as to be virtually impossible to summarize.
SS: So, the government shutdown. Is the move on the part of the Republicans justified? Is fighting off Obamacare worth all this mess?
KH: I think there is something more going on behind the scenes. A lot more, actually.
SS: What do you mean?
KH: Well, there is terrible currency problem. We’re on the verge of the currency war. The Federal Reserve is printing dollars like there is no tomorrow, and if they keep going, the rest of the world is not going to accept them. As it is, the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – have decided that they are going to finance the trade among these countries with assets and pay for the difference in gold. And this is the right move for them…
SS: But how is that connected with a shutdown though?
KH: The US Congress has been fighting with the presidency, because the presidency (sic) have been in total contempt, and the highest legal officer of the United States government has also been in contempt of Congress in fighting this international corruption that is ruining the dollar as an international reserve currency.
And on it goes… Hudes explains her theory of “gold backwardization.” It turns out that it refers to a two-step conspiracy theory falsely charging that 1) gold reserves no longer exist (or, in Hudes’ case, that the gold has been stolen by the “Black Pope” hominid and hidden in the Vatican), and 2) that banks are short-selling this purportedly non-existent gold to deflate the gold market. The assumptions behind this conspiracy theory are false, of course, but it doesn’t really matter. Central banks exist to manage the money supply in order to stabilize currencies and encourage steady economic growth. Conspiracy theorists and promoters of schemes involving speculation in precious metals have a different view of these things though. From their point of view, those actions are intrinsically part of a plan to drive down the price of gold, since, when currencies are stable and the stock market sound, gold speculation is less attractive. This is how gold standard true believers like Hudes and other RT economics experts come to believe that the normal pursuit of a good economy is part of an anti-gold conspiracy.
Hudes goes on:
Considering that the views she expresses elsewhere are so idiosyncratic, Hudes’ RT persona is mostly indistinguishable from what they usually broadcast. I’ll leave it to readers to reach their own conclusions about what that means. I say “mostly” because, inevitably, the mask sometimes slips. In response to an oddly-framed question on Obamacare and fears of the collapse of the US economy, Hudes shares this:
SS: You know, I’ve also heard Obama supporters argue that the American Capitalism is on the verge of death in its present form, the way it is existing now, and the social injections, meaning the medical care and Obamacare, are needed as the only way to reform it or save it. Do you agree or disagree with that?
KH: The problem is not with the American citizens, they are a wonderful group, their values are good. It’s just that they are not given the tools that they need to have a just society. They are not given the basic information about what is really going on and who is benefiting from the economies that they are being told… they are being told that they have no money, they have taken an entire city, Detroit, and declared it bankrupt. When what’s actually happening is their tax dollars are not even staying in the society, their tax dollars are going by treaty to the United Kingdom, and then they are being transferred to the Vatican, to the bank of the Vatican. This is not a society that is going to be sustainable on any basis, for any reason.
Later, in response to a question about China, Hudes explains to her interviewer that China is controlled by the Jesuits. No large-brained hominids or Black Pope mentioned there, but some intriguing intimations of insanity on which the RT host somehow fails to follow up. Just another day at RT. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Met de regelmaat van de klok worden nieuwe planeten en sterren ontdekt, maar wat astronomen van de universiteit van New South Wales recent aantroffen, was nog ongezien. Gliese 832c is een super-Aarde die amper 16 lichtjaren van ons verwijderd is - een steenworp in kosmische termen.
Volgens de nieuwssite The Verge wentelt de planeet rond een rode dwerg, een koele ster die weinig licht uitstraalt, met een massa en omvang die de helft bedraagt van die van onze zon. Gliese 832c heeft een omlooptijd van ongeveer 35 dagen en een massa vijf keer zo groot als die van de Aarde. Belangrijker is dat de planeet in de 'bewoonbare' zone van de rode dwerg cirkelt en dezelfde energie krijgt als onze Aarde van de zon.
Leven zou er in principe dus mogelijk zijn. De grote massa van Gliese 832 wijst er wel op dat de planeet een veel dichtere atmosfeer heeft dan de Aarde, wat het weer er heet en de seizoenen vluchtig maakt. De astronomen zijn er niet uit of de planeet nu een super-Aarde of eerder een super-Venus is.
Top-3
"Als de atmosfeer op de planeet gelijkaardig is aan die van de Aarde, is het misschien mogelijk dat er leven kan zijn", zegt professor Chris Tinney van de universiteit van South Wales aan Sci-News.com. "Maar de seizoenswissels zouden er extreem zijn."
Toch is Gliese 832c een van de meest Aarde-achtige planeten ooit ontdekt. "Wat massa en relatie met de ster betreft, zit de planeet in de top-3", schrijft Abel Mendez Torres van Planetary Habitability Lab's Blog. "Bovendien bevindt deze planeet zich van die drie het dichtstbij."

Bid to talk to aliens could doom us all: How the quest to find ET could be 'insanely risky'
Bid to talk to aliens could doom us all: How the quest to find ET could be 'insanely risky'
By Christopher Hart
A recent newspaper story about the discovery of a huge Earth-like planet 560 light-years away was headlined: ‘New planet brings hope of life in space.’
A few years ago, that sort of claim would just have been laughed off. But this has changed in recent times: indeed, only a few days ago, a leading astronomer made a quite staggering claim.
We liked him but he went home: What if real aliens are not as cuddly as ET?
‘It is not hyperbolic to suggest that scientists could very well discover extra-terrestrial intelligence within two decades’ time or less.’
And this was no deluded alien bug-hunter.
This was Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in California, addressing the U.S. Congress.
SETI stands for the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. It was co-founded by astronomer and author Carl Sagan, and two Nobel prize-winners have worked there.
Dr Shostak was able to make such a prediction thanks to the immense power of the dazzling new weapons in SETI’s armoury, such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the Kepler Space Observatory.
Nasa’s Kepler telescope has discovered 962 exoplanets (planets outside our solar system, which don’t necessarily resemble Earth) in 72 star systems.
They include Kepler-10c, 17 times the weight of Earth, which made those headlines this month.
The Kepler telescope has a further 2,900 possible detections, as yet unconfirmed. And it’s only been operating since 2009.
This implies there is an astounding number of Earth-type planets (with properties scientists deem necessary for life, such as proximity to an energy source) out there.
Kepler’s discoveries mean there may be 40 billion other ‘Earths’ in our galaxy alone. Given such numbers, the probability of alien life has increased enormously.
Much extra-terrestrial life might not seem that exciting. For vast aeons of Earth prehistory, ‘life’ meant bacteria, amoeba and algae. So it would probably be with most of those exoplanets.
But just supposing one or two of them had given rise to more complex life forms, capable of intelligence, of innovation. With 40 billion planets out there, the odds are that this will have happened.
Hence the chosen name of SETI. They are not searching just for alien life, but for alien intelligence — life forms that could communicate with us.
SETI not only looks for planets that could be Earthlike and habitable, it listens out for things like radio waves, produced only by advanced technological civilisations. Like ours.
Aye, there’s the rub. It’s one thing to listen out for signals from the cosmos that might tell us They’re Out There.
But we are also sending out radio signals of our own, and have been for the past 100 years. One of the first public radio broadcasts was from the Metropolitan Opera House in 1910: Cavalleria Rusticana.
Such broadcasts weren’t necessarily received only by the handful who owned a wireless set. They also started to travel outwards from the Earth, like ripples from a stone thrown into a pond — but moving at the speed of light.
They are now more than 100 light years away — one light year is approximately 5,878,499,810,000 miles — and SETI reckons the nearest inhabited planet is just 12 light years away.
And they will go on travelling through the vast reaches of space for ever.
The BBC’s first broadcast was in 1922, and we have been inadvertently shouting out at the cosmos since, advertising our presence.
Radio and television broadcasts, mobile phone calls, radar systems, their chatter and babble streaming away at the speed of light, and all saying one simple thing to any listeners with the technology to hear: HELLO!
With blithe and sunny optimism, many scientists from projects like SETI seem to believe any ETs out there who pick up our signals and come to visit will be something like the cuddly chap in the Steven Spielberg film.
The optimists have even begun another programme called Active SETI, or METI — Messaging to Extra-terrestrial Intelligences.
This means not just listening, but deliberately shouting out at top volume, explaining who we are and where in the galaxy we live.
Not all scientists are sanguine about this, however. One has even called it ‘insanely risky, given the dearth of information we have about the nature of Extra-terrestrial Intelligence’.
John Billingham, a senior figure at SETI and Nasa, even called for a global moratorium on such programmes because of the potential risk to humanity’s future.
Is this paranoia? Hardly, if you remember the lessons of our history.
For when an advanced people meet a less technologically sophisticated people, the results for the latter are generally catastrophic.
Look at the American Indians, or even worse, the Tasmanian aborigines, who were obliterated after the arrival of European settlers in the early 1800s.
The worst-case scenario of an alien attack on Earth is a staple of science fiction from H.G. Wells’s War Of The Worlds to Tom Cruise’s latest blockbuster, Edge Of Tomorrow.
We have no idea how super-intelligent aliens might regard us, but what if they see us as we do cows: a useful source of protein?
Or as mosquitoes: pests infesting a lovely and habitable planet, and best got rid of?
These might sound fanciful, but science fiction writers spend their lives engaged in imagining the future, and often turn out to be startlingly prescient.
The word ‘cyberspace’ was coined by sci-fi writers.
And Arthur C. Clarke, the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, predicted in 1974 that in 30 years’ time we would sit at home on personal computers, doing our shopping and buying our theatre tickets.
Even more frightening than the thought of space invaders is the risk of importing a devastating computer virus in an incoming signal from some advanced civilisation.
A leading Serbian astro-physicist, Professor Milan Cirkovic, has described how such viruses could ‘download’ themselves to Earth, and then damage our computer networks.
It is, he said: ‘A very frightening thought.’ So perhaps we should be keeping very, very quiet — instead of reaching out to seek for alien civilisations.
And if super-intelligent aliens don’t get us, another extra-terrestrial will — a giant asteroid smashing into the Earth.
‘The chances of this happening,’ says Bill McGuire, professor of geophysical and climate hazards at University College, London, ‘are 100 per cent.’
s just a question of when.

Are UFO's A State Of Mind? Nigel Watson Looks At UFO's Past To Present
Strange objects in the sky have baffled humanity since the dawn of time. In the past, unusual lights in the sky were regarded as chariots of fire, angels, will o’ the wisps, demonic processions, dragons, witches riding to their Sabbath rituals, dancing fairies, spirits and many other types of threatening supernatural or religious visitations.
From the 1850s to the 1920s strange lights or things in the sky were regarded as ‘phantom airships’, then there were ‘mystery aircraft’ followed by ‘foo fighters’ in the Second World War, then ‘ghost rockets’ before we got to ‘flying saucers’ in 1947.
Sightings were of things of a fantastic, supernatural or religious nature, and then with the phantom airship sightings, they were seen as secular, man-made, mechanical constructions.
These frames of reference are conditioned by many different social, political and cultural factors. For example, the phantom airships seen in the USA in 1896-7, and worldwide during the early years of the twentieth century can be compared with the airships described in the fiction of the period. The fiction and sightings also reflected the growing interest in all things aeronautical. The world became increasingly airminded, a concept which historian Scott Palmer describes as a:
The phantom airships and balloons, and mystery fliers represented a part of this airminded obsession, but not far away were new frontiers to conquer. The Space Age would soon dawn and in anticipation pulp science fiction novels, magazines and film serials gripped our imaginations.
These new horizons also represented new real and imagined threats to humanity. The worst case scenario was played out in the War of the Worlds radio broadcast, masterminded by Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre of the Air. The programme mixed fiction with alleged on-the-spot factual reports of an alien invasion. The accepted view is that it caused a mass panic when it was broadcast on Halloween’s Eve, 30 October 1938.
More sober analysis indicates that it mainly caused its 1.2 million listeners mild fear and/or excitement. Nonetheless the overall reaction to the broadcast was a media sensation that led the shocked and surprised Orson Welles to apologise before news reel cameras the following day.
Strange things in the sky now morphed into foo fighters and ghost rockets as we passed through the horrors of the Second World War and entered the Space Age. The big breakthrough came with Kenneth Arnold’s sighting of ‘flying saucers’ in June 1947. No one knew if they were the product of Cold War psychosis, secret US or USSR aircraft or invaders from outer space. As the mystery deepened the United States Air Force dubbed them Unidentified Flying Objects, which became the perfect umbrella term for anything unusual seen in the sky.
Hollywood movies of the 1950s quickly cashed-in on the craze for flying saucers, and in process created some of the most stupid, inspiring, spectacular and thoughtful films of all time. It became a ufominded age that partied with the dominant Space Age ethos.
UFOs and flying saucers simply became shorthand for alien visitors, yet even ufologists accept that the majority are misidentifications of anything from kites, clouds and satellites to the Moon and Venus. The contactees of the 1950s and the abductees of the 1960s onwards made physical and mental contact with the occupants of these craft. Their testimony certainly ruled out misidentifications of Venus, but the sceptics filled this void with speculation about False Memory Syndromes and Sleep Paralysis.
The disclosure movement tries to get confirmation that our governments know all about these alien visitations, and the Roswell and Rendlesham incidents taunt us with the possibility that they are real craft. The elusive nature of this evidence has led some ufologists to explore the possibility that UFOs come from other dimensions or are time travellers, others regard them as enigmatic intelligences that are intimately linked with humanity and are engaged in manipulating our thoughts and evolution.
Hardline sceptics try to explain all UFO sightings as caused by ‘mundane’ non-exotic phenomena, and then there are the psychosociologists who aren’t particularly bothered if UFOs are physically real or not, it is enough that our ufo minded culture causes real psychological and sociological responses.
Like UFOs themselves, the theories surrounding them reflect our perception of the world and our place in it.

Alien In A Pennsylvania Shopping Mall Encounter
Alien In A Pennsylvania Shopping Mall Encounter
The alien in the mall
For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com
Location: Near West Mifflin, Pennsylvania
Date: June 2008
Time: evening
The main witness, Barbara, and her husband decided to go shopping at the Century III Mall near West Mifflin. Barbara’s husband wasn’t big on shopping, so he opted to sit on a bench and wait while she went into a department store. Barbara made her way to the men’s department and was a bit amused to see a mother hustle past her. The woman was hurrying and huddling her children together…. The little boy was dragging his feet. “I want to see!” he cried as his mother dragged him along. “No, we need to leave now!” his mother admonished him. Barbara wondered what the dispute had been about.
She made the turn around some clothing racks and stopped dead. Standing before her was a male figure wearing blue pants and a plaid shirt. The being was not human, though. It was bald and wrinkled. The figure had bumps all over his gray skin, and his eyes were very dark and almond-shaped. Barbara did a double take and in that brief second the figure moved much closer to her. He faced her now and gave her a gentle smile. Barbara struggled not to stare, thinking that maybe this was a man with some terrible condition. She quickly shifted her eyes away, then right back again. In that brief span, the figure disappeared. Barbara hurried to the cashier. She was agitated and asked if a security guard could be called. She explained that she was looking for a man who had been in the men’s department. The security guard allowed her to view the tape with him but there was no one to be seen in the area after she entered it.
Barbara’s husband rejoined her and insisted that they had to go. By now Barbara was rattled and frightened. Barbara and her husband had been planning to view a movie at the theater in the mall, and so they continued on with their plans. When she tried to explain what had happened to her husband, she insisted that they had to hurry not to miss the movie. He would listen to her story later. Barbara spent the rest of her time in the mall scanning faces for the little, gray, wrinkle-skinned being, but she never saw him again. Later investigators were able to find out that at the same time of her encounter, someone else had reported seeing a UFO in the area of the mall.

Time: 2000
A young man walking near a field suddenly saw the area illuminated by a bright light and could no longer see his surroundings. Up on a nearby hill he saw an oval shaped object resting on the ground. A human like figure with two antennae like protrusions on his head, stood by the object. Frightened he ran away but fell as four humanoids approached apparently in bizarre bounding like movements. The witness fainted and when he woke up he saw four five-foot tall entities wearing buttoned jackets, a backpack and helmets with antennae. Their hands appeared pincer-like. He fainted again, woke up later and everything had vanished.

UFO And Its Occupants Seen From Aircraft Carrier
UFO And Its Occupants Seen From Aircraft Carrier
UFO and its occupants seen from Aircraft Carrier, 1959
For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com
Location: At sea in the Florida Straits
Date: 1959
Time: 2200
While serving in the USN aboard the aircraft carrier USS FDR, Chester Grusinski was below decks when he noticed a number of seamen hurrying up to the flight deck of the carrier. When he got to the flight deck, there were approximately 25 other men present observing an oblong, orange light in the sky. The light approached the carrier in a “wobbling” fashion, blo…cking out the background of stars in the sky and becoming larger. At a distance of probably no more than several hundred feet from the vessel, it stopped and hovered; Grusinski could clearly see a row of square windows, lighted within by a dull orange glow; in two of these windows, to his left, he could see occupants, one in each window. One appeared to be leaning against the glass and looking down at the witnesses, while the other could be seen only from the neck up. Then they both moved away and were no longer visible. At is closer range; Grusinski could feel a wave of warmth coming from the object. After the figures disappeared, the bottom of the object began glowing a red orange; it became brighter as the object began to move off, and they could clearly see then that it was cigar shaped. The faster it moved, the brighter it got. The observation lasted from two to five minutes. The next day, Grusinski, got up early to see if there was any reference to the incident in the “plan of the day.” He found none; when queried about it by others, he denied having seen anything. On the other hand, he was unable to find anyone else who was willing to talk about it.

Scientists Speechless At What They Find Beneath Egypt! One of the Most Controversial Mysteries Ever–Solved! (On-Site Video Footage and Photos)
Scientists Speechless At What They Find Beneath Egypt! One of the Most Controversial Mysteries Ever–Solved! (On-Site Video Footage and Photos)
For many generations, it has been questioned and debated. Many long hours and much time has been spent pouring over the evidence, yet with no clear answers and no hard proof.
However, today, more evidence keeps piling up that proves the ancients did have technology far beyond what we can even begin to imagine.
Brien Foerester takes you down dark tunnels, beneath pyramids, and inside places you have only seen in your imagination.
But now he goes even further and takes you beneath Egypt, where mysterious 100 ton stone boxes were discovered. Some people believe they were used for burial purposes, but Brien clearly shows us how they were used for ancient ‘high’ technology.
Is it possible that the technology of the ancients was so advanced, it goes above and beyond ours today?
The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
Where we believe we have gone forward and advanced throughout history, is it possible we are actually far behind, and that someone else a long time ago knew all the secrets we have yet to uncover?
I can honestly say yes. The fallen angels had the knowledge handed down to them by God, and they taught their children, the nephilim, and all of humanity the secrets of technology they had acquired.
Time and again, mankind has been stunned by the ancient megaliths, wondering how they could possibly have been erected by the humans of that time. But the nephilim and raphaim were extremely intelligent, insanely strong, and quite frightful to look upon. They were also giants! This is exactly how it was that ancient megalithic structures were built.
Ancient technology is indeed a reality, and Brien shows you in the videos I have included below just how it could have happened.
Brien writes:
Inside a tunnel system carved out of the solid limestone bedrock in the desert of Egypt, more than 20 granite boxes made of precision shaped Aswan granite are a true enigma. Said by some to have been the burial places of prized bulls, their real function is far more intriguing. And they are clear examples of Lost Ancient High Technology created before the time of the Dynastic Egyptians.

………………………………………………………………………………………...................................
Hi XXXX,
And thanks for writing, I’m glad to converse with you about this.
I think if we’re going to be a bit scientific about it, the question would be reversed, i.e. where is the evidence that all the stuff about the Grays is true?
For there to be any consideration of so-called “alien abductions”, wouldn’t we agree that we first have to establish the existence of so-called…”aliens”? It’s hardly an established fact, certainly as far as science is concerned. So far as I am aware, outside of the Meier case we have no existing tangible evidence whatsoever of so-called aliens, though I’m sure that many of us accept the likelihood of their existence based on many things.
“Alien” is itself a term that’s a product of the disinformation and entertainment industries that have, in many cases, merged into one. (One blatant example would be OpenMinds.) So let’s get away from the very contaminated term itself and use the word extraterrestrials for our purposes. Now I think it’s pretty easy to come to the conclusion that Billy Meier has been meeting with extraterrestrials, a term I prefer, for a long time (over 72 years). But that’s not the focus of your question.
Let’s definitely agree that there is ample artistic evidence, going back to pre-history, that seems to portray beings and craft that sure appear to match the descriptions and images of UFOs and even of various knds of presumed extraterrestrials, etc. We’re not in disagreement about the high likelihood of extraterrestrial visitors to our planet dating back millennia.
In fact, all one has to do is to start reading Contact 251, and all of the information in the Meier case connected to such topics as the Giza Intelligences, etc. But I still have to refer to that information as speculative, since I don’t have any hard science to back it up and prove it.
And so far, despite all the huffing and puffing in the UFOCI, there isn’t one piece of indisputable evidence that all these people who think they’re being “abducted by aliens” really are. Now it doesn’t mean that some very few people haven’t indeed been taken aboard a UFO and “examined”. If we maintain and apply the same standards about speculative information in the Meier case to so-called abductions we still have to call them speculative too.
Then of course we have already referred to information from the Meier case that paints an even bigger picture regarding the nature, origins, etc., of UFOs, so-called abductions, etc., which indicates that in cases where people really are abducted the absolute majority of them are by secret military groups and not extraterrestrials. Meier and the Plejaren make it clear that there indeed have been an extremely small number of so-called “contact examinations” by non-malevolent extraterrestrials for scientific purposes.
But the virtual epidemic of reported cases are easily explained as sleep paralysis, mass hysteria, hypnosis, self-hypnosis, self-induced fantasies, escapism, etc. If we use logic alone to consider the hypothesis that extraterrestrials are abducting people, we have a number of things to consider concerning the purported reasons for such claims:
1. They want and/or need our genetics: Well sure, an advanced space traveling race which, by necessity, evolution and definition must already have much longer life spans than ours, greater intelligence and are also most probably unified as a people on their planet (far more than we are) needs our genetics? Why, so they can attain…shorter lifespans, degenerative diseases, hereditary physical and mental illnesses and our insane propensity for killing everything and everyone with or without the least provocation? Do they simply miss the good old days when they were primitive, stupid, short-lived, violent and, well…just like us?
2. They need to regain emotions like ours: All the crazy stuff we do is usully accompanied by equally over the top, mindless fear, anger, aggression, etc. What race wouldn’t jump at the chance to be at the whim of unpredictable, uncontrolled, irrational outbursts instead of spending its time traversing the cosmos, studying and experiencing awe at the magnificence and mystery of the universe?
3. They’re dying out and need to create an “alien-human hybrid race”: Right, that sure would be a match made in some sort of heaven…part advanced, peaceful, long-lived, highly intelligent and part knuckle-dragging, barbaric, genocidal maniacs. The sheer excitement of not knowing which part was dominant from moment to moment would make such an experiment irresistible and make going extinct seem like a really good idea.
4. We may as well also include those people who claim to be contactees. Please notice that none of them are being harassed, hounded, threatened, vilified, attacked – like with real guns, knives, etc. – and they all seem to have something else in common. None of them were important enough to be “contacted” and mentored by the president, vice-president, a congressperson, senator, Supreme Court judge, governor, mayor, city clerk, dog catcher, etc. In other words, none of them have demonstrated any significant abilities or accomplishments that would suddenly catapult them to galactic levels of importance and hence to be qualified to speak to, or on behalf of, much more evolved intelligences.
Naturally the question would arise as to what makes Billy Meier so “special” as to qualify for such a thankless job as a real contactee, let alone prophet, etc.? Let that hang for a minute and let’s look at it from the other end.
If Meier was a fraud and hoaxer, as so many uninformed and envious people have claimed, possessing such undeniably masterful, amazing abilities in a multitude of diverse disciplines, wouldn’t he be the most likely candidate to be a contactee? I mean the guy supposedly fabricated…everything - with one hand yet – and did it all without any proven financial, technical or collaborative resources, long before home computers and the internet, while raising a family with three kids, working as a nightwatchman and renovating a farm house that didn’t have electricity or running water, etc., etc. Wow, he could do anything, let’s talk to…him.
It may be hard in this day and age of online armchair experts who think that searching google’s in any way’s equivalent to actually personally gathering, weighing, evaluating and thinking through decades of several varieties of still irreproducible evidence, including reconciling it with Meier’s non-promotional, almost hermetic personal life.
Let’s pause for a moment and wonder how all this stuff got going. Weren’t we just going to talk about…”alien abductions” by those big-eyed Grays? Perhaps we can see now why I say that the Billy Meier UFO contact case is what the UFO cover-up is really all about.
Doesn’t the simplistic, cartoonish, hysterical “alien” anything topic – and chasing lights in the sky – pale in comparison to the rich, real-life personal history of a modest man who, for over 72 years, has steadfastly put forward this immense body of documented, authenticated, corroborated evidence and information while weathering the abusive storms not from some “alien” race…but from his fellow human beings?
NOTE: Much of the information below may be very challenging, especially for people who don’t really know the depth and breadth of the Meier case and how much more there is to it than simply the best UFO evidence ever presented. (Some of the links in the articles below may no longer be active.):

Thanks for sharing. In this (and I’ve heard you mention it many times) you state:
Central to all this, one must understand that the whole “alien” thing, with the bug-eyed Grays, etc., is part of the disinformation campaign that keeps people focused on utter nonsense…and away from the Meier case.
Can you point to any evidence that this is the case? I’m sure some of it likely is, but it’s hard to imagine given all of the reported cases, many with what I would say are credible witnesses, that ALL of these are just disinformation. And that is just current cases. There is also rock art from pre-history times from all over the world that bear a likeness to the Greys (likely more than one species).

Amazing triangle UFO over Sherman Oaks, California on 29th June 2014
Amazing triangle UFO over Sherman Oaks, California on 29th June 2014
New interesting video footage of an amazing triangle – shaped UFO sighting recorded in the sky above Sherman Oaks, California on 29th ofJune.
Witness said:
A daylight sighting of a twisting and tubling set of bright orbs appeared in the skies over Sherman Oaks, California which resembles the exact same objects as reported by us this week over the UK. These objects look inter connected as they do not expand outwards while twisting around each other rapidly, there has been a video from Mexico also with a mothership ejecting orbs that behaved in the same way. He has no clue to what they are 1st guessing balloons then re guessing as they were too high in the sky. What is your thoughts on this great sighting?

What a wild roller coaster ride of alien abduction and self-exploration. This is as true an account as one could possibly give of such extraordinary experiences. Sherry describes what she endured being repeatedly abducted by ETs but there is an extremely positive outcome. Decades after the first abductions Sherry’s perception of her experience shifts. No longer seeing herself as a victim, she focuses on the positive aspects of what she was taught during her interactions with the ETs. Once she looked beyond the distortion created by her visceral fear, she was aware of the depth of knowledge that was being imparted to her. This knowledge, like the ETs, originated from higher vibrational realms. It was being given to her for the benefit of humanity. Sherry explains the “3 Important Things to Know”, which are concepts about which volumes of spiritual texts have been written.

The Middle East has been quite a volatile area and when we hear of the wars and rumors of wars we only can catch a glimpse of what the Middle East is all about. However there is no question that when we thing of the Middle east we think of the cradle of civilization. That cradle of civilization extends beyond the confines of the Middle East. It moves into South Asia as well. While India borders Pakistan and Afghanistan it is considered a South Asian country and a country that can boast some the most compelling ancient history.
It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. The people there speak hundreds of different languages and practice many different religions.
India is considered one of the oldest civilizations in fact much of the ancient history allegedly can be called antediluvian meaning that there are allegedly texts and histories that date back before the biblical Adam and the times before Noah.
The Torah speaks of 974 generations existing before the Creation of Adam by God, these are the peoples that the children of Adam and Eve married. According to Scripture, Adam and Eve had three children, Cain, Able and Seth, who married and had children. Biblical scholars have questioned who did they marry and what families existed simultaneously during the creation story.
Some claim that the 974 generations that existed prior to the Torah may have populated India and that there have been texts that not only talk about their remarkable history, but the ancient scrolls also have revealed a connection with the Gods that they describe as powerful, and that used ancient technologies in order to fly through the heavens. It is also interesting to note that these technologies also included very powerful weapons that were capable of causing the entire sky to burn up and that would scorch the earth.
These accounts allegedly date back some 11,000 years. Ancient Sanskrit texts dating back as far as 6000 B.C. describe in detail technologies and flying chariots of the gods called Vimanas.
Many modern “ancient alien” enthusiasts believe that the Vimanas are basically ancient space ships or flying machines that all accounts say frightened elephants and would push warm air from its underside.
Many of these accounts come from a document known as the VYMANNIKA-SHAASTRA where there seem to be diagrams of power sources and schematics of all kinds of vortex engines and gyroscope technology.
It is also written in these texts that many of these so called space craft were piloted mentally.
The VYMANNIKA-SHAASTRA claims that Vimanas were powered by several gyroscopes placed inside a sealed liquid mercury vortex.
While modern science will say that this type of engine may not have been the best engine, it does not discount that something was of advanced nature being spoken of in the Vedas and is the Sanskrit writings. There is also a curious thing known and a Brahmastra which is literally a weapon that was created by Brahma.
It was considered the deadliest weapon. It was said that when the Brahmastra was discharged, there was neither a counterattack nor a defense that could stop it, except by Brahmadanda, a stick also created by Brahma. The Brahmastra never missed its mark and had to be used with very specific intent against an individual enemy or army, as the target would face complete annihilation. It was believed to be obtained by meditating on the Lord Brahma; it could only be used once in a day. The user would have to display immense amounts of mental concentration.
According to ancient Sanskrit writings, the Brahmastra is invoked by a key phrase or invocation that is bestowed upon the user when given this weapon. Through this invocation the user can call upon the weapon and use it via a medium against his adversary.
The weapon was also believed to cause severe environmental damage. The land where the weapon was used became barren and all life in and around that area ceased to exist, as both men and women became infertile. There was also a severe decrease in rainfall with the land developing cracks, like in a drought. The Brahmastra is mentioned in the epics and Vedas as a weapon of last resort and was never to be used in combat.
Dr. Robert Oppenheimer the architect of modern atomic bomb who was in charge of the Manhattan project was asked by a student after the Manhattan explosion, “How do you feel after having exploded the first atomic bomb on earth”. Oppenheimer’s reply for the question was, “not first atomic bomb, but first atomic bomb in modern times”. He strongly believed that nukes were used in ancient India. What made Oppenheimer believe that it was a nuclear war was the accurate descriptions of the weapons used in the Mahabharata war in the epic which match with that of modern nuclear weapons?
There are many people that believe that the Lonar crater is evidence of something huge hitting the earth in India. Science of course say that a huge meteor impacted the earth their while others speculate that a huge weapon was used and that fused glass much like Trinitite can be forum in the region.
Trinitite is the glassy residue that was left on the desert floor after the plutonium-based Trinity nuclear bomb test on July 16, 1945.
This presents a compelling question were the secrets of India first exploited by German scientists and were most of these Vimana blueprints, and possible weapons of mass destruction channeled and translated by German mystics at the turn of the 20th century?
Most of what we know of the Vril society and the Thule societies is that they channeled the designs of most of the Wonder weapons for Hitler’s Luftwaffe. They allegedly received this information from the Vril-ya a super race of subterranean beings spoken of by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, in his 1871 novel called The Coming Race.
Hitler and his Nazi scientists were exceptionally interested in ancient India and Tibet and sent expeditions to both these places yearly, starting in the 30′s, in order to gather esoteric evidence. This esoteric knowledge had to have included the ancient flying machines and the weapon of mass destruction known as the Brahmastra.
Italian scientist, Dr. Roberto Pinotti, who has made an exhaustive study of the history of Indian astronautics, has explained that his investigations into the Vimanas have shown that these ancient flying machines were well equipped with stealth technology and shields to protect the pilot from what sounds like Laser tech weaponry. Quoting from ‘Vymanika Shastra’ he said the ancient flying devices of India were made from special heat absorbing metals.
He said the text also discussed the seven kinds of mirror and lenses installed aboard for defensive and offensive uses. The so-called ‘Pinjula Mirror’ offered a sort of ‘visual shield’ preventing the pilots from being blinded by ‘evil rays’ and the weapon ‘Marika’ used to shoot enemy aircraft ‘does not seem too different from laser technology.
Apart from what is known about the ancient flying Machines of India, there is also the account of toys that were found in Egypt that represented modern flying machines we see today.
In 1898, a peculiar six-inch wooden object was found in a tomb at Saqquara, Egypt that dated back to about 200 BCE. The object had a body or fuselage, seven-inch wings that curved downward slightly, a fixed rudder and a tail. It looked very much like the Space shuttle. However what was it doing in ancient Egypt and how did the design and toy show up in 1898? It wound up in a Cairo museum and was called a child’s toy that was alleged to be a bird.
If the ancients had this technology where did it go and why haven’t we found evidence of it?
Throughout the Vedic histories are the speculations that Vimanas and the Gods had a subterranean fortress and that there have been bases under the earth for millions of years.
An “inner world” is also referred to in the Puranas an ancient city called Shamballa is located inside the Earth. This city is also referred to in Tibetan Buddhism. The theory of Earth having a hollow interior has remained a popular concept ever since and has lived on throughout the ages.
In fact, South American mythology, Native American mythology, Russian legend, Mexican folklore, certain tribes of India and Celtic mythology all seem to refer to a subterranean world inside the hollow interior of the Earth. Some of them even refer to strange creatures and human looking beings that live in underground bases and have ancient technology, perhaps even the Vimana.
Once again the Nazis may have gotten their hands on these ancient texts and translated them and used the tech for a secret Luftwaffe project. The Foo Fighters used by the Nazi’s were powered by the use of mercury. Some argue that the Germans may have combined mercury with gasoline in order to propel these so called “modern” Vimanas.
In case you have forgotten the Nazi’s were responsible for creating the first practical pulse-jet engine, but was it made from reverse engineering the designs provided in the ancient Sanskrit texts?
In February 1947 Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd was in charge of a massive operation in the Arctic that was called Operation High jump. Operation High jump has become a topic among UFO conspiracy theorists, who claim it was a covert US military operation to conquer alleged secret underground Nazi facilities in Antarctica and capture the German Vril flying discs, or Thule mercury-powered spaceship prototypes.
Hollow earth theorists and Vimana theorists may have something more to think about as a new study out of Harvard suggests that there may be an ancient earth buried underneath the earth we know today.
A team of Harvard scientists believe the remnants of an ancient Earth, dating to the time another planet collided with ours to produce the moon, may still be lodged deep within the Earth’s mantle.
Could this be an explanation for all of the possible hollow earth theories we have been hearing about?
The team believes that a previously unexplained isotopic ratio from deep within the Earth might be a signal from material from before the Earth collided with another planet-sized body, which led to the creation of the Moon. This might be an echo of an ancient Earth that existed 4.5 billion years ago, prior to the proposed collision.
The current favored theory says that the Moon was formed 4.5 billion years ago when the Earth collided with a mass the size of Mars, dubbed “Theia.” This theory states that the heat generated by the collision would have melted the whole planet before some of the debris spun off to create the Moon.
The findings of the team at Harvard coincide with a German team’s findings supporting the theory that the Moon was formed 4.5 billion years ago after a catastrophic collision with a planet-sized mass.
All of these new revelations make all of the so called ancient histories less of a myth and more truth. The tales of hollow earth and flying machines can also be found in Chinese writings as well. Of course the Chinese are credited with inventing rocketry, however the symbolism and ancient texts that followed have laid out the possibility that much of what we call modern space craft, weaponry and even so called underground bases can be found in the ancient texts dating thousands of years before the alleged Genesis written in the bible.

Aliens Claim They Are Us A Million Years From Now ~ Bo’s Incredible Abduction Encounter
Aliens Claim They Are Us A Million Years From Now ~ Bo’s Incredible Abduction Encounter
At this time I realized that I had no control of myself all I could move were my eyes. The next thing I remember was I was walking to this wooded bike trail area near my home. As I crossed a little bridge I knelt down on one knee. With two hands on my bent knee I peeked threw some trees and bushes and saw a craft of some type. It was ball shaped no lights and landed under these huge power lines. I never saw the craft from the outside fly. As I looked at the craft an opening opened up and two smaller than me being came out of the craft.
The next thing I remember was that I was boarding the craft. As I walked onto the craft the two beings followed me in the craft. The craft was kind of cramped and dark. It was dark but you could see like a neon kind of darkness. I then bent down and asked the being where we are going. They answered me and said they are taking me behind the moon. I then asked why?
They said they couldn’t be detected on earth’s radar from there. I said OK then we took off. I looked out of some kind of window type thing and saw us leaving the earth. We passed the moon then made a u-turn type of turn back. This took less than 10 seconds. For some reason I wasn’t scared at all. I actually acted like I knew them. The next thing I recall was the only time I was really scared. I woke up again, this time naked in a funnel shaped pool filled with a greenish black gel type liquid. The pool had to be 20 yards wide all around. And pretty deep. The pool was made of some kind of shiny metal. With the gel it made the surface very slippery and you would slip under the gel if you tried to get out. I then realized something very odd at that time. I wasn’t alone.
There were at least 15 other humans with me. All of them screaming and panicking. This is what scared me. I didn’t know what they were screaming about. I thought they knew something I didn’t, so I got scared. Some were under the gel moving around I could see. Most were trying to escape. One man kept climbing half way out. The closer he got to the top he would get hit by some sort of beam then he’d slid back into the pool. I thought this guy was insane, if he did get out where would he go? (I thought) I didn’t see who was telling me but they where telling me not to be scared. They told me I would be fine and that I could breath the gel. They said I could eat it and digest it. I couldn’t drown in it. We could live in the gel. It also recycled human waste back into the gel.
I believed some of the humans were in the pool for years by the way they were acting. I figured a way to be under the gel and still breath air. That way they wouldn’t hit me with the beam and make me slide under. I blacked out after that. The next things I remember are some pretty vivid memories. I must let you know that I am deathly frightened of frogs. I know it sounds crazy but it’s my one phobia. It’s their skin. Back to the story. I was rudely awaken by a being armpit high holding my hand taking me somewhere. I remember the touch of their hands it’s woke me up from what ever I was under. I tugged away and started to threaten them. I clinched my fist like I was going to fight. I said get away from me and if they touched me again I was going to hit them. He told me if I would do that I would change the world, as we know it. I knew if I hit them in the head my fist would go right threw them.
I didn’t like the feel of their skin and I thought I sure wouldn’t want its brains all over me. So I was kind of stuck in defending myself or making a huge nasty mess all over me. That’s when I realized that I was communicating to them with out my mouth. I knew what they were thinking and they knew what I was thinking. It made things difficult for me at first.
That’s when the smaller beings brought over this taller being, a little taller than me. As the taller being approached me he told the smaller being that this is a (the) prophet. I looked at his face for maybe half a second. His face grossed me out so I never looked at him again. If I looked at him again then he’d know how I felt about his appearance. I didn’t want to offend him because I like this one he made me feel comfortable.
He explained that they wanted to do some medical examinations on me and if I would cooperated. I made a deal with him if they didn’t touch me, hurt me or scare me then I would do it. He promised then I aloud them to do what they wanted. He also said he would answer all my questions that asked. He walked me around as we talked. I looked at the ground the entire time so not to look at him. The next thing I remember was the Medical Examination.
First thing that I remember was coming out of a black out lying on a table. I was not scared what so ever. I trusted them. And by being able to read their minds I know they weren’t lying to me. As I remember they took some skin from my right arm. It was like the thinnest layer possible. Unviable to my eyes, but all they needed.
Next they took semen from me. I didn’t understand this. Again I wont go into to much details simply because this story would be about nine-hundred pages long. I asked about this procedure later. The last thing they did to me was the strangest of all. They took my right eye out of my head. I actually saw the back of my eyeball and a cord or veins connected to it. I instantly ask about this. Next they put a babe like metal ball in my eye socket. About the size of a broken piece of rice. I asked, “What’s that for?” They said so they can monitor me from space. I thought it was so they could see everything that I can see, like a video camera or something. Then they put my eye back in then that was that? My next memories were the taller being talking and I. This was the best part. Because he answered my questions and showed me things in my head.
I don’t know the exact order of my questions but I did ask away. I must inform you that they communicated to me like an adult would talk to a five-year-old child. With simple words. Stuff like that. I thought it was funny. Anyway. The first question was about my semen. Why? He told me so they can make baby humans in space. I simply said, “ooh”. But then as I asked him questions he put visions in my head and showed me in an instant how they do it. As we were walking and talking about the humans in space he walked into this doorway that you can’t even see until you look in it. Just as we were talking about humans in space these two kids about thirteen to fifteen years old one male one female turned to look at us. Both human. Full blooded perfect human beings.
They were both sitting down facing away from us. They turned around looked in my eyes. He sort of introduced us I guess. Then they turned around and continued to do what they were doing. Believe it or not they were either controlling, driving or operating the craft or building were in. They were in control of operating something. I was tripping of this because they knew what they were doing and just little kids. They totally trusted them. Crazy stuff. And being that you can read minds in this situation I knew the kids won’t scared or uncomfortable. They were programmed to master their job. There is much more to this topic also but that will scratch the surface of it. As we left I noticed he was taking me somewhere else. This was kind of confusing to me also. This time it’s like the room just appeared. We were just instantly in it. I think it’s there doorways. They are unexplainable.
Next thing I see is a dead cow hanging I believe head up butt down. Nothing to my eyes was holding it up. I was baffled. I know cows can weigh tons but it was just hanging. Next thing they did was dip it into some kind of gel in a box shaped pool just big enough for the cow to fit in. Strangely enough the gel didn’t overflow when they put the cow in. The pool was filled up. Next they lifted the cow out and it was cut, dead and I was starting to get scared. I thought I was next. But then he showed me why they do this. It all related to the humans in space. He said what do humans eat as a child or infant. I said milk. He said exactly. What do adult humans eat? I said hamburgers stakes and food.
Again he said exactly. Then he put a vision again in my head and explained it all. They can’t just take earth cows in space. They do just like they told me; he said we make our own cows in space. Germ free no fleas no illnesses pure cows. Just like the space humans perfect specimens. Like I said I have much more information on that topic also. Then I asked about monitoring me behind my eye. They said humans do it all the time. He explained like this. How does a tiger explain to itself when it hears a helicopter coming out of the skies in the jungle? A big metal load scary object.
Then all of a sudden they feel a pain in there hip and lose all control of everything except there eyes. Then creatures come out of the object and start doing things to it. Like tagging it’s ear. Like even taking teeth. They even take semen to preserve the species from extinction some times. Basically scaring the crap out of the tiger for it’s own good in a way. He said so why is it cruel for them to do it but not for humans? After reading this amazing story I conducted this interview.
I will refer to myself as Mike and the person telling the story as Bo.
Mike: I have heard a lot of abduction stories in the past. I was under the understanding they some how erased your memory. Why can you remember so much?
Bo: In the beginning I did not remember a lot. In fact very little. I had some medical issues and had to have surgery. They gave me Anesthesia. After the surgery I became more aware. I started remembering things in vivid detail about my abduction. It is almost like it turned part of my mind back on.
Mike: When did this event occur?
Bo: In 1988 I awoke to dogs barking. When I opened my eyes I was outside my house being escorted by 3 smaller beings to a round ball shaped craft sitting under a heavy power line.
Mike Can you describe this craft in more detail?
Bo I saw it was round some type of Orb It had no lights on it what so ever. When the door opened and I was led into the craft I had to duck. I am only 5’4 I saw no windows. I estimate there was enough room for 13-15 people in there.
Mike: What did these beings look like?
Bo They were very short. I am 5’4 and they came to about the height of my arm pit. I noticed big eyes small mouth.
Mike: How did they communicate with you?
Bo: At first it was talking normal. It then turned to some how mental. I would be thinking of things and then they would answer me by putting visions and answers in my head.
Mike: Were these little guys what people call gray’s?
Bo I am not really sure. I found them very appalling so I keep looking down so I would not have to look directly at them.
Mike: How overall did they treat you?
Bo: The little ones were very rude and I would even say obnoxious things. I did not like them at all.
Mike What happened when you entered the craft?
Bo I was asking where are you taking me? Am I ever coming back. Telepathically they told me to relax. We were going to what I knew as the moon. I would be allowed to come home.
Mike: Did you in fact go to the moon? Can you remember anything about the flight?
Bo: Yes, the orb I was in did something. When it took off I was pulled forward. This was really weird to me. Anything I have been in that left fast, Launched me backwards. This orb I was pulled forward. 15 seconds after I felt this I was told we were on the moon.
Mike Then what happened?
Bo: The next thing I remember I came to, I was naked in a pool filled with a greenish gel and 14 or 15 other humans. Some where moving under the gel, a woman was screaming and crying for help. Another man was trying to crawl out of the pool. It was very slippery. He would get about ½ way out and a bluish colored beem came out and kept knocking him back into the pool.
Mike: Can you describe this pool to me?
Bo: Yes ,Can you imagine the shape of a drill head? You drill into something just to get the hole started so the edges are rounded.
Mike: Yes
Bo That is the shape. Like it was built with a giant drill.
Mike: Can you explain the gel you were in? There purpose for putting you in there?
Bo: I was thinking to myself why am I here what are they going to do to me trying not to freak out.
They put into my mind the gel was harmless. I was told If I went under I could breath the gel and even eat it. If I had to defecate in the gel after eating it it was ok. It would come out as it went in. Seeing people moving around under the gel I believed them.
Mike: Did you go under and breath the gel
Bo No, I refused to go under. To your last question, I believe the gel was a way to decontaminate us.
Mike Then what happened?
Bo: Three of the smaller ones who took me to the orb came in to escort me to a room. I did not like these guys at all. They kept touching me and I could not stand there touch.
Mike: What did it feel like when they would touch you?
Bo: It wasn’t warm like a human touch but it was not cold. It was like touching a fish with little prick lies on it. They kept touching me walking me thru this hall. I was starting to have thoughts of hitting one of them.
Mike: Couldn’t they read those thoughts?
Bo: Yes, I am sure they did because they must have called this really big guy who walked up to us. He asked me to relax and said he would help me thru this and answer my questions. He then walked me into a room.
Mike: Can you explain the layout of the place you where in? Perhaps how it was lit?
Bo: No it was dark. I knew it must be large. There were lights. But nothing like I have ever seen. They were like black lights. But nothing glowed like it does in a black light.
Mike: What did the tall guy look like?
Bo: He looked very human but hatefully ugly. I did not want to offend him so I continued to look at the ground when we spoke. I did not want to offend him. I had a very strong feeling he was trying to help me and he was not pushy or rude like the little guys.
Mike: So what was in the room they took you into?
Bo: It looked from what I could see to be doctor’s room. The big guy said to me; they wanted to put something into me for tracking reasons. He asked if I would cooperate? I said; as long as you don’t hurt me. He said; I will be with you, they will not harm you in anyway. I trusted him. He led me to a chair and had me sit down in it.
Mike: Please continue.
Bo: Well the little guys look at me and asked me to turn my head to the right just a little bit. I do not know how they did it, but with my right eye I could see my other eyeball. I watched them put a very small shiny object. About the size of a half grain of rice into the back of my eyeball. Within less than a minute, they were done and my full vision was restored.
Mike Wow this is amazing.
Bo: Why do you think I don’t like to publicize this stuff. People will think I am full of it. But Mike, as sure as I sit here I am telling you the gods honest truth.
Mike: Before we continue would you answer a question for me?
Bo: Yes
Mike: If your name is not released would you be willing to take a polygraph or any other truth agent to verify what you are telling us.
Bo: ABSOLUTELY without hesitation.
Mike: Thank you. So what happened next?
Bo: The big Alien who I may add was human. But god awful ugly. Walked me into some type of control room. What I found amazing was the people running this room turned out to be 13-15 year old humans. I know because they looked right at me and smiled.
They were perfect. I was thinking what do these guys eat? How do they live up here? As I was leaving the room with my escort. We came to a room and went in. I saw a cow hanging head up. I could not see anything holding it in place. He showed me in my head, How they actually make the cows as they need them. I asked him why. He replied; What do Babies eat? Milk of course. What do adults eat? Meat?
Correct. He said by them cloning the food needed for humans it was pure. No diseases or imperfections.
Mike: So what happened next.
Bo: We stood around and he showed me thing of what was and what was in our near future. They have been around longer than we have. Helping us all along the way. Including the Egyptians. He explained they cannot live on Earth because they age differently here than we do.
Mike: Did they help the Mayans? As well?
Bo: No, they did get help. But not from them. But they showed me Atlantis. It was awesome. They had everything. They abused the technology given to them. Thus it was there own doing they erased there selfs. The Egyptians, they helped. There are traces of them left behind in the runes of Egypt.
I asked the big guy why the back of the moon. He said to me thru my mind. It is the only place in our solar system that they cannot be detected by humans. We fly by and swing into the back. He assured me by the rate we are doing things. By the year 2015 the whole world will have no doubt they are here. We will first come across them on the Moon. Then soon after, we will look up into the sky and it will be full of there ships. Thousands of them. Leaving no doubt that they are real.
The world will clean its self again by eliminating all life on her. They are to repopulate us after this happens. Like they have done so many times before. They will save the human race. Remember, they are us a million years from now.
After this I found myself back in my house with 5 minutes to get to work.

THE CLASSIC UFO PILOT DILEMMA
THE CLASSIC UFO PILOT DILEMMA
In the recent decades that have documented the classic struggle of defending US air space and gauging the UFO threat, a complex set of issues emerge. Even the first generations of US astronauts were seasoned fighter pilots who had served at military bases and had even been scrambled in pursuit of their enigmatic aerial opponents. In that daunting task of intercepting the unknown we have the mentality of our men at the controls of their formidable aircraft to consider when encountering a phenomenon that officially does not exist, but has to be confronted when the orders come in, and a violation of guarded air space is detected.
Fixated
When Captain Thomas Mantell came up against a glowing metallic object huge in proportions as described by himself to Godman Tower air traffic controllers, little did anyone know it would be his last transmission. Was it target fixation, a well-known state of mind known to combat pilots in pursuit of their aerial foes during “dogfights” that caused the veteran fighter pilot to push his F-51 Mustang beyond its envelope as he supposedly suffered anoxia when he exceeded his unpressurized limit of 20 thousand feet? Many would argue that it was much more than that which caused the first loss of an American pilot in pursuit of a UFO, but Mantell’s fatal chase demonstrates the mentality of a trained combat pilot to the point of no return.
Incident at Groom Lake
When Gordon Cooper, a decorated Colonel, and one of the first Mercury program astronauts at NASA experienced his first brush with the unknown in the skies of world it was while stationed in Germany in the mid-1950’s. Scrambled along with his squadron to intercept unidentified high flying objects Cooper described bogeys that quickly outclassed the F-86 Fighters that his unit flew in order to identify who or what had violated United Nations defended air space over West Germany. His early experiences would only be a harbinger of things to come as he would come to find out years later while on assignment at Area 51.
Gordon Cooper later detailed an encounter with an unconventional craft that landed near his ground unit command. Tasked with photography and surveillance, he and his men were surprised when the landing occurred. He reported that men ran toward the unknown object but it lifted off while spraying some type of aerosol substance upon them as they approached. The footage that Cooper’s men were able to capture of this bizarre event was immediately expedited to HQ in Washington DC under orders he was given. As has been the case with many such instances, Cooper’s inquiries into the disposition of the photos and investigation by the Air Force went unanswered.
The X-15 project
Test pilot extraordinaire, Joe Walker, who had flown the X-15 manned rocket plane reported the presence of unknown airborne objects pacing his high performance aircraft as he flew at the very fringe of the upper atmosphere and space. Despite the calculated discouragement by higher command to publicly announce such an encounter, Walker did anyway. Brigadier General, Chuck Yeager, who first broke the sound barrier in his Bell X-1 rocket plane in 1947, characterized test pilot, Joe Walker, as arrogant and unwilling to accept advice from others. Walker was killed while flight testing the Valkyrie XB-70.
When aggressiveness does not pay
Chuck Yeager also commented on Captain Ira Bong, leading Fighter Ace of US World War II fighter pilots with 40 kills. In his self-assuredness, Captain Bong died while standing upright in the cockpit of his F-80 draped in his parachute when his aircraft crashed while leaving the runway. Yeager, who emphasized thoroughly reading the operating manual of any plane he was to fly, noted that Captain Bong had switched off the oil pump while in-flight. The manual specifically stated not to do so. Once again Chuck Yeager characterized the mentality of many fighter jocks in the way they tackled their job, sometimes leading to their tragic demise. It seems that these types of aviators are risk takers willing to sacrifice themselves and the hardware they fly.
Ominous rewards of piloting skills
In his book “Majestic” Whitley Strieber quoted the general opinion within the ranks of the armed services during the 1940’s and 50’s as brave pilots pursued UFO’s and what their fate might end up being. Only a very skilled and determined pilot could ever maintain pursuit of a flying saucer, and if he did, it often led to his disappearance or crash. So, it would seem that the aggressive mentality of the well trained fighter pilot often resulted in unfortunate consequences for the aviator himself, his aircraft, and the authorities trying to ascertain just who or what he has been chasing. It would seem in the final analysis, that target fixation played a large part in the disappearance and crashes of many brave interceptor pilots tasked the defense of US air space.
SAC Command weighs in
One need only refer to the statement of General Benjamin Chidlaw of Strategic Air Command, who admitted that out of some 3000 attempted intercepts of UFO’s over the continental United States many men and aircraft had been lost. This admission was made in 1965. One can only imagine what has transpired since then, and how shocking those incidents might be. Yet, in the face of these types of disconcerting realities, the constant denial of the federal government and US military leadership has falsely misled the American public into an illusion of relative security.
>In Part II we will further explore the bizarre world of the UFO when in the presence of our men and women ordered to defend our air space when the unknown intrudes upon us.
