I do believe, as technology advances, so will the publics abilities to record and even contact aliens. Technology will arm the UFO researchers with very powerful tools. The one I want the most is a tool that can detect CGI in video to tell me if its real or not. There is an overwhelming amount of fake UFO videos on Youtube and we really need to know the truth, and fakes don't help the cause.

CHICAGO (FOX 32 News): Mark Hammergren knows that the truth is out there. An astronomer for the Adler Planetarium – and a confessed X Files fan – he’s lived a life looking up into the stars. And when it comes to reported sightings of UFOs around the Chicago area, he’s heard a tale or two. Mark often gets phone calls at the Adler, with people claiming to see unexplainable lights and objects in the sky – unexplainable until Mark starts investigating. Modern UFO sightings in the U.S. began nearly 70 years ago. During that time, no definitive proof has ever been uncovered. But that doesn’t mean that the search is over, especially for astronomers. A quick Google search of UFOs in Chicago will yield a seemingly never ending trail of rumors, theories and speculation. And Mark will always be there to follow the trail. Because he’s a man who knows the value of looking into the night sky. He knows, somewhere out there, the truth is waiting.

Deep Space Network JPL News States:
1/27/2015 UPDATE: The Goldstone scientists observing 2004 BL86 are part of a team of astronomers from around the world who have been characterizing the asteroid. Spectroscopic observations of 2004 BL86 made by Vishnu Reddy, a research scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, using the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, indicate the asteroid's spectral signature is similar to that of massive asteroid Vesta. Located in the heart of the solar system's main asteroid belt, asteroid Vesta was the recent destination of NASA's Dawn mission, which is now on its way to the icy world Ceres.

Scientists working with NASA's 230-foot-wide (70-meter) Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, California, have released the first radar images of asteroid 2004 BL86. The images show the asteroid, which made its closest approach today (Jan. 26, 2015) at 8:19 a.m. PST (11:19 a.m. EST) at a distance of about 745,000 miles (1.2 million kilometers, or 3.1 times the distance from Earth to the moon), has its own small moon. The 20 individual images used in the movie were generated from data collected at Goldstone on Jan. 26, 2015. They show the primary body is approximately 1,100 feet (325 meters) across and has a small moon approximately 230 feet (70 meters) across. In the near-Earth population, about 16 percent of asteroids that are about 655 feet (200 meters) or larger are a binary (the primary asteroid with a smaller asteroid moon orbiting it) or even triple systems (two moons). The resolution on the radar images is 13 feet (4 meters) per pixel. The trajectory of asteroid 2004 BL86 is well understood. Monday's flyby was the closest approach the asteroid will make to Earth for at least the next two centuries. It is also the closest a known asteroid this size will come to Earth until asteroid 1999 AN10 flies past our planet in 2027. Asteroid 2004 BL86 was discovered on Jan. 30, 2004, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) survey in White Sands, New Mexico.

Unknown lights filmed over Smyrna, Tennessee

Unknown lights filmed over Smyrna, Tennessee

unknown-lights

Here’s one new video of a bright unidentified flying object hovering in the sky above Smyrna in Tennessee on 21st January 2016.

Witness report: My daughters and I were driving East on I-24 in Tennessee. The lights seemed to be hovering over the trees to the southeast of my location. We were driving, so it was hard to tell. I thought they were possibly helicopters from a nearby Air National Guard base. They seemed to remain stationary as we drove right under them. There were four bright points of white lights shaped in a crescent with a twinkling reddish/white in the center of the four brighter points of light. I have lived in this area most of my life and have never witnessed anything like this before. We continued on to our destination writing it off as what we thought it had to be, helicopters. But, curiosity got the best of me….

“UFO Did Crash In Roswell” Confirmed The Man Who Walked On The Moon. R.I.P Edgar Mitchell

“UFO Did Crash In Roswell” Confirmed The Man Who Walked On The Moon. R.I.P Edgar Mitchell

Former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell who once walked on the Moon, sadly passed away on Thursday 4th February 2016.  He always claimed that he STILL believes a UFO with aliens DID crash in a US desert before the government covered it up and wants the world to know the TRUTH!

Edagr-576996

The former NASA astronaut and man on the moon Edgar Mitchell, has always remained adamant that more than one alien landed at Roswell nearly 70 years ago – and some of them were captured alive and could still be alive somewhere to this day.  He went on to say:

“The truth about it is that it was real. I was there when the Roswell incident took place. I was on my way to college and had just graduated high school. 

“One day, it was in the Roswell Daily Record, which was a newspaper in Roswell, about an alien spacecraft that had crashed, and the next day that it had been denied by the Air Force, saying that it was a weather balloon. 

“I believed that and went off to college. 

“Many years later, after I had been to the moon and came back, I went out to Roswell to give lectures, talk and meet people I knew since I was a kid. 

“Many of the people I knew, along with descendants of the people who had been involved in the Roswell incident, told me their stories.” He said.

Edgar confirmed that the descendants included the son of an undertaker who provided “coffins for the alien bodies” and the son of a sheriff who “kept traffic away from the crash site” and helped keep the area secure from prying eyes!

Mr Mitchell once stated a very wise comment and said that we do not know what beings are in the Universe, because our planet is “like a grain of sand on a huge beach”.

Mr Mitchell was the sixth man to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 14 mission in 1971.

Mr Mitchell also added:

“A family friend who was a major in the United States Air Force told me it was all real. 

“I got the stories from all of these various people into my head when I came back from the moon, and I then went to the Pentagon and told them my story about that and said, give me your opinion. 

“The admiral who I spoke to said, ‘I don’t know anything about it, but I’m going to find out.’ 

“He went out to New Mexico and checked all around, came back and told me, ‘Your stories are quite correct and all real.’”

Edgar was also keen to confirm that the US government found dead and live aliens on board the crashed craft at Roswell!

Apparently, the US Government covered up the Roswell incident because they did not know if the ‘visits’ were hostile and also did not want Soviet Russia discovering about it….and possibly stealing any potential knowledge or technology!

Apparently the UG Government were nervous about a potential hostile situation with Aliens after the Roswell event!

Apparently the US Government were nervous about a potential hostile situation with Aliens after the Roswell event!

Edgar told how governmental agencies in the US did not know at all what to do with the alien crashed saucer and its “superior technology” for fear of it getting into Soviet hands and being used against them one day!

 “The best course of action was to just lie about it, and keep it to themselves. They labeled it ‘above top-secret,’ and that created the long running iron curtain separating a secret group within the government, and the American public.” He said.

Mr Mitchell also made a shocking statement that he had been made aware of “many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA” with each and every one covered up!

Please check out an intriguing video with Edgar below:

 


U.I.P Summary

Edgar Mitchell no matter what, deserves a lot of respect as believe it or not but he did once upon a time walk on the moon, even though a lot of people think that this was faked.  Mr Mitchell is a brave man, not just for his work as an Astronaut for NASA, but also for putting his reputation at stake by declaring his belief in Aliens and the events that happened at Roswell!

Yes Edgar was part of the fiasco that was the Roswell Slides recently, however you get the impression by his sudden non arrival at the event that he smelt a rat about the whole slides thing so perhaps had a change of heart! But when a man who used to work for NASA as an Astronaut declares that Aliens exist, then there is no denying the fact that the world has to LISTEN UP to what he is telling us all….

Sadly Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the Moon, passed away at a hospice in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday 4th January 2016.  He died alongside his loving family.  He was 85 years of age, and spent many of those years seeking the truth about who our ET visitors are – We salute you Sir for your bravery and for helping Humanity discover the truth about what lies beyond.

Thank you Edgar for doing the right thing.

FBI’s Memo Confirms “Aliens DO EXIST”

FBI’s Memo Confirms “Aliens DO EXIST”

A1

A memo has recently been discovered, apparently claiming by the ‘FBI’ that Aliens do exist! This memo was discovered by some leading UFO Researchers it has been confirmed.

The UFO Investigators are based at the Hakui Centre for UFO Research in Tokyo, Japan.  Claiming that they have discovered an important document PROVING that Extra-terrestrial life exists.

The unusual memo supposedly confirms the existence of 3 foot Alien Beings, which piloted flying saucer type crafts.

According to some insiders, the FBI have become VERY anxious about this find and are concerned that if the document is released into the public domain members of the public gaining access to thousands of documents!

Don’t forget guys we have posted about leak FBI Memo’s before, about Aliens crashing at Roswell AND Interdimensional Beings visiting earth!  Perhaps somebody within the FBI is keen for this information to be shared to the public!?

Original FBI evidence

Original FBI evidence

This recent exciting Memo found, apparently confirms the below:

“An investigator for the Air Force states that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico. “They were described as being circular in shape with raised centres, approximately 50 feet in diameter.

“Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture.

“According to Mr (name blanked out), the saucers were found in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very high-powered radar set-up in that area and it is believed the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the saucers.”

The Truth Is Coming??

The Truth Is Coming??

U.I.P SUMMARY – Is it just me, but it really does feel like the FBI, NSA, MI5 and the CIA really do need to be a lot more careful with this ‘top secret’ information!?  It feels like every month we are learning more and more about what is supposedly REALLY going on, by leaked information by Government Agencies.

Like we mentioned above, this is not the first time that the FBI has leaked information about Alien Beings and I am sure it is not that last time either.  The NSA even have on their website an apparent ‘recorded Alien message’ from space, which they must have posted on there very discreetly!?  Even the UK’s government agencies appear to be slipping up recently……!?

Could it be that this is all part of the ‘drip feeding of disclosure’ or just sloppy maintenance by these ‘supposed’ professional government agencies??

This is ALL of our Universe that we live in and we are ALL part of the Universe – So we should all know the truth about our Extra-terrestrial visitors opposed to having to depend on leaked government memos/documents.

Alien Disclosure : A Timeline of Secrecy [FULL VIDEO]

Alien Disclosure : A Timeline of Secrecy [FULL VIDEO]

Documents the efforts by Prime Minister St. Laurent’s government in the early 1950s to investigate flying saucers. This effort included building a flying saucer observatory, studies called Project Magnet and Second Storey, gravity control experiments, and the plan to land an alien at a Top Secret base in Alberta at the same time that high level officials in the USA and UK were meeting with aliens. Grant Cameron will show conclusively that high level officials in Canadian and US government knew the extraterrestrial nature of the phenomena from almost day one.

Officials have also known the nuclear connection and Mr. Cameron will talk about nukes in 1945, 1954, 1975, and 1988. Grant will name the officials since 1948 that have provided Top Secret briefings to the President, how Bill Clinton dealt with the effort by Laurance Rockefeller in 1993 to get disclosure, and Hillary Clinton’s interest in the subject as she runs for President in 2016.'

Les ondes gravitationnelles enfin observées !

Les ondes gravitationnelles enfin observées !

Gravitational-Waves2_360.jpg

Deux trous noirs qui fusionnent émettent des ondes gravitationnelles (simulation). Crédit : MPI

Cent ans exactement après qu'Einstein ait prédit leur existence, les ondes gravitationnelles viennent d'être observées par l'observatoire américain Ligo.

L'analyse des données, réalisée conjointement avec l'équipe européenne de Virgo, montre un signal émis par la fusion de deux trous noirs de 29 et 36 masses solaires.

Voir l'univers gravitationnel

Parmi les physiciens et astrophysiciens qui en ont eu vent - nous ne parlons pas là des rumeurs qui couraient il y a quelques semaines -, cette découverte est qualifiée « d'extraordinairement importante. ».

Bien sûr, les scientifiques sont convaincus depuis des années de l'existence des ondes gravitationnelles — le comportement du pulsar binaire PSR1913+16, découvert par Russel Alan Hulse et Joseph Hooton Taylor, prix Nobel en 1993, ne peut s'expliquer que par l'émission de telles ondes. Mais encore fallait-il les voir !

Désormais, l'Univers n'est plus observé seulement à travers le prisme des ondes électromagnétiques. Les frémissements de la trame de l'espace-temps, ces fameuses ondes gravitationnelles imaginées par Albert Einstein dans un article de 1916, vont permettre de sonder le cosmos à des distances et dans des régions inatteignables jusqu'ici : des confins de l'Univers aux horizons des trous noirs.

« Et il y aura des surprises ! » s'enthousiasme un chercheur qui, n'étant pas impliqué, tient à garder l'anonymat jusqu'à l'annonce officielle prévue le 11 février 2016.

À vrai dire, cette première observation est déjà en soi une surprise : personne ne s'attendait à ce que le premier événement observé par un détecteur d'ondes gravitationnelles au sol soit dû à une fusion de trous noirs. Les spécialistes auraient tous misé sur des événements un peu moins violents, mais plus courants : des fusions d'étoiles à neutrons.

Par ailleurs, les masses mises en jeu sont un peu plus importantes que ce que les astrophysiciens attendaient. Faudra-t-il amender les modèles de physique stellaire sur lesquels reposent les prédictions des chercheurs ? Il est évidemment trop tôt pour le dire.

Tester les idées d'Einstein

Cette observation, qui valide une fois de plus la théorie de la relativité générale d'Einstein, promet aussi de pouvoir la tester dans un régime nouveau, dans lequel la gravité est très intense (en « champ fort »). Les théoriciens ont en effet réalisé des prédictions très précises sur la forme et l'intensité des ondes gravitationnelles obéissant strictement à la théorie d'Einstein.

Seront-elles validées ? Il faudra sans doute attendre le lancement de la mission spatiale européenne Elisa en 2034, chargée de détecter les ondes gravitationnelles depuis l'espace, pour avoir la réponse.

[Note : Vous pouvez lire notre dossier consacré à la relativité générale et les expériences en cours, dont Ligo et Virgo, dans notre numéro 544, « Penser l'univers aujourd'hui ».]

BRITISH CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY HIGHLY INTERESTED IN PILOTS' UFO SIGHTINGS

BRITISH CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY HIGHLY INTERESTED IN PILOTS' UFO SIGHTINGS

UFO Ufo Reports Sightings

Despite the fact the UK's Ministry of Defense officially ended its UFO investigations in 2009, it appears that the British Civil Aviation Authority decided -- unbeknownst to the public -- to continue collecting reports that involved UFOs with possible flight safety issues.

"They were only interested in sightings that definitely had a bearing on aircraft or flight safety, and were no longer interested in reports from the public, who'd seen things in the sky and reported them to the Civil Aviation Authority," said David Clarke, the official UK National Archives consultant and a journalism lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University.

Clarke, seen at right, told the Huffington Post that the Civil Aviation Authority -- a different government department from the MoD -- kept separate records of UFO cases, "not only by the aircrew, themselves, but also anything unusual that was seen by air traffic controllers on the ground at airports."

RELATED ARTICLES

Through the filing of Freedom of Information requests, Clarke found that the Royal Air Force specifically requested any UFO reports submitted to the Department of Transport would no longer be forwarded to the MoD.

The RAF specifically states that "members of the public who make such reports are not encouraged to believe an investigation will take place."

It's now known that British air traffic controllers have been receiving UFO reports on almost a regular basis.

Speaking on the BBC Radio's "Today" programme, on Aug. 17, Richard Deakin, the head of the UK's National Air Traffic Control Services, was asked if he or his staff had ever been unable to identify a flying object.

"Well, occasionally, there are objects that are identified that don't conform to normal traffic patterns -- not just from the UK point of view, but from around the world," Deakin responded.

"I have to say it's not something that occupies a huge amount of my time." Deakin added that these sightings occur "typically around one a month."

If that's true, then Clarke's calculations of how many actual UFO sightings were written up as Mandatory Occurrence Reports, or MORS, was substantially higher.

"As far as MOR reports that I got from using the Freedom of Information, from December 2004 to October 2010, their actual database listed 10 instances of UFOs or unidentified aircraft," said Clarke. "Now [Deakin] is saying they get a report every month," he added.

"If that was the case, I'd expect it to be 80 in that six-year period, not 10. So, my question is: Where did all the others go?"

This comes on the heels of the Ministry of Defense's ruling that all UFO investigations in the UK have come to an end.

According to the MoD's website: The MoD has no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extra-terrestrial life.

However, In over fifty years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom.

The MoD has no specific capability for identifying the nature of such sightings.

There is no defence benefit in such investigation. Furthermore, responding to reported UFO sightings diverts MoD resources from tasks that are relevant to defence.

UK pilots have reported a number of chilling near-misses with UFOs.

One incident involved David Hastings, a British pilot pictured below, who, along with his co-pilot, David Paterson, was flying a Cessna Skymaster plane over the Mojave Desert in America on Sept. 9, 1985.

"We were sitting there enjoying the sunshine when we both suddenly saw this speck out on the horizon at our 12 o'clock position," Hastings told HuffPost.

"This speck suddenly grew extremely quickly until we saw this huge shadow go over the top of us," he recounted. "But the most amazing thing about it was there was no noise and absolutely no movement or turbulence at all. We looked at each other, saying, 'What the hell was that?'"

At that point, both pilots felt that something was in the air off the port (left) side of their plane, but they couldn't see anything there. They agreed that they were able to sense something moving outside.

Hastings walked to the back of the plane, grabbed his camera and returned to the cockpit where he snapped two pictures out the window. All he was able to see in the camera viewfinder was the left wing of the plane and the ground below.

It was only after they returned to San Francisco and got the pictures developed that they knew they'd encountered something extraordinary.

"One picture showed what we expected to see -- the aircraft wing and the ground," said Hastings. "But in the second one, there was this [cigar-shaped] thing. We were both convinced that it was not a manmade object.

"Several pilots have seen UFOs in England, so it didn't surprise me, but I was surprised that we actually got a picture of it."

Hastings recalls that, although he wasn't frightened by the object, he was mostly concerned about the initial encounter with it and the possibility of a mid-air collision. No hoax was ever determined in this case, which remains unexplained to this day.

Why do aviation officials avoid talking about UFOs? In the UK, Clarke suggests it's something that could result in bad publicity ( via huffingtonpost.com ).

Einsteins zwaartekrachtgolven zouden zijn gespot DS.be

Einsteins zwaartekrachtgolven zouden zijn gespot - DS.be

Einsteins zwaartekrachtgolven zouden zijn gespotAlbert Einstein. Foto: AP

Volgens aanzwellende geruchten zouden Amerikaanse en Europese fysici zich opmaken om aan te kondigen dat ze zwaartekrachtgolven hebben waargenomen. Donderdag is er een gezamenlijke persconferentie van het Amerikaanse Ligo-observatorium, het Europese deeltjeslab Cern en de Italiaanse Virgo-detector.

Geruchten over de ontdekking doen al weken de ronde. Als ze kloppen, dan is dit voor de natuurkunde wat de ontdekking van het Higgsboson in 2012 was: héél groot nieuws, en kunnen de betrokken onderzoekers zich verlustigen in een zekere Nobelprijs.

Einstein

Het bestaan van zwaartekrachtgolven werd honderd jaar geleden door Einstein in zijn relativiteitstheorie voorspeld, maar niemand heeft ze sindsdien ooit waargenomen. De golven zijn ‘rimpels’ in de tijdruimte, zo volgt uit de formules van de theorie. Ze ontstaan bij gewelddadige gebeurtenissen in de ruimte waarbij grote massa’s betrokken zijn. Explosies van sterren bijvoorbeeld, of botsingen van zwarte gaten, of melkwegstelsels die in elkaar schuiven. Die gebeurtenissen brengen de tijdruimte aan het trillen en genereren daarbij zwaartekrachtgolven.

Dat zwaartekrachtgolven bestaan, daaraan twijfelt geen astronoom meer. Maar niemand heeft ze ooit al waargenomen, omdat ze uiterst zwak zijn. Vandaar dat enkel uiterst precieze meetinstrumenten ze op de staart kunnen trappen. Op aarde staan er zo meerdere opgesteld, waaronder die van Ligo en Virgo, maar die hadden tot nog toe nooit beet gehad.

Zwarte gaten

Volgens Alexander Sevrin, hoogleraar fysica aan de VUB, zouden de geobserveerde zwaartekrachtgolven zijn veroorzaakt door de fusie van twee zwarte gaten ‘met een totale massa van enkele tientallen malen die van onze zon’. Dat zou blijken uit indiscreties bij het Europese deeltjeslab Cern. De onderzoekers zouden de kans op minder dan één op drie miljoen schatten dat hun waarnemingen zijn te wijten aan toevallige fluctuaties van de achtergrondruis.

Ook de Leuvense fysicus Thomas Hertog, Belgisch verantwoordelijke bij het geplande ruimte-observatorium voor zwaartekrachtgolven van de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie Esa heeft signalen opgevangen dat de geruchten over de eerste waarnemingen van gravitatiegolven zouden kloppen. ‘Als het waar is, dan is de ontdekking qua impact vergelijkbaar met die van het Higgsdeeltje in 2012.’

Spanning

In de natuurkundige wereld stijgt de spanning, maar pas donderdag weten we of er nu wel of niet zwaartekrachtgolven zijn gezien en wat die heeft veroorzaakt. Wat er precies verteld zal worden op de persconferentie, blijft voorlopig een goed bewaard geheim.

Russia and Europe Join Forces Toward Building a Permanent Base on the Dark Side of the Moon

Russia and Europe Join Forces Toward Building a Permanent Base on the Dark Side of the Moon

Space projects have started to intensify this century, and the plans and expectations of space agencies are big and daring like never before.
 
While Russia plans to build a permanent lunar base, as well as an orbiting outpost by 2030, the European Space Agency (ESA) decided that it will be a good idea to join forces with them, in order to diminish their efforts and also start a ripe collaboration between the two space agencies.
 
The ESA announced that it will offer key tech for a planned exploration mission scheduled for 2020, and also provide important resources for the future plan to construct a permanent outpost.
 
Lead scientist on the project, Igor Mitrofanov, from Russia’s space agency Roscosmos, told the BBC that:
 
" We have to go to the Moon. The 21st Century will be the century when it will be the permanent outpost of human civilization. Our country has to participate in this process, and we have to do it together with our international colleagues."
 
 
The two space agencies will send Luna 27, a robotic lander that will reach the South Pole-Aitken basin, a colossal crater located on the dark side of the Moon, in order to prospect resources that will be used by astronauts for the development of the future Moon outpost.
 
"It will be for astronomical observation, for the utilization of minerals and other lunar resources and to create an outpost that can be visited by cosmonauts working together as a test bed for their future flight to Mars. – Mitrofanov declared"
 
However, ESA’s lead scientist, James Carpenter revealed an interesting fact about this future space mission. The location where Luna 27 will set up camp is covered under a veil of mystery. He claimed that this so far unexplored part of the Moon will provide essential conditions for future space missions due to its “completely different environment”.
 
"The south pole of the Moon is unlike anywhere we have been before. The environment is completely different, and due to the extreme cold there you could find large amounts of water-ice and other chemistry which is on the surface, and which we could access and use as rocket fuel or in life-support systems to support future human missions we think will go to these locations."
 
 
While they assume that a Luna 27 base can work using the resources provided by the environment to create rocket fuel and other complex designed materials, it is more likely that the two space agencies will use an already existent base in order to achieve their goals, well hidden in the far south side of the Moon.
 
Considering that astronauts will reach the distant Red Planet starting with 2020, this Lunar Project seems rather insignificant, unless it holds other meaningful secrets. – Is it possible that this particular project is evolving around an already existent base of extraterrestrial origins?
 
The chances might seem small, but reading through the lines of another curious statement belonging to ESA’s lead engineer on Luna 27, Richard Fisackerly, the hypothesis of an existing alien base on the south pole of the Moon furtherly takes shape.
 
"This whole series of missions feels like the beginning of the return to the Moon but it is also starting something new in terms of overall exploration of the Solar System."
 
 
If this is indeed an ambitious plan for humans trying to systematically explore and conquer space or if it’s rather a sophisticated staging attempt of an already existing ET base that is gathering precious resources using advanced alien tech, we can only presume, but because truth is always found half way when official announcements are made, there is plenty of room left for speculations.

What to Do If You See A UFO

What to Do If You See A UFO

new york skies

Columnist Cheryl Costa discusses what you need to do to report your UFO sighting.

So you are out for a walk with your significant other and low and behold, the two of you see some strange and amazing bright object in the sky. What do you do?

My advice: watch it and enjoy the experience.

If you have the presence of mind to note what direction it came from and traveled to, it would be helpful for researchers — especially should you care to report the sighting later. The two of you should come to a consensus about the shape of what you saw, as well as make a note of where you were and what time it was that you saw the UFO.

OK, regarding reporting: This is where it gets a bit complicated. First off, don’t call the Air Force, as they haven’t collected UFO sighting information since 1969. In fact, since 1969, no United States government agency publicly collects UFO data.

Don’t call your local newspaper. Most news editors I’ve met tend to blow off the topic of UFOs. Many I have known think that people who report such sightings are either nuts or hoaxers, so don’t bother with them.

While I don’t want to paint all journalists and news directors with the same brush, I’d also advise against calling your local television or radio station. Experience has shown they aren’t any more receptive than the newspaper folks are.

What about law enforcement? My advice is if the UFO has landed or is a clear and present danger to property or public safety, then by all means call law enforcement. Many of the best UFO sighting reports over the years have been filed by law enforcement and public safety officers. But if you just want to tell somebody about your amazing sighting, don’t bother law enforcement. They have enough to do.

If you really want to register your UFO sighting someplace where it will do some good, I recommend either theNational UFO Reporting Center NUFORC.org or to the Mutual UFO Network MUFON.com and file a report.

If you file a report, it’s important to just get it down concisely to the facts and only the facts. You wouldn’t believe how many sighting reports that I’ve read that rambled on about whose back yard barbecue it was at and how amazing the sighting was. But nowhere do they tell us size, shape, color, direction of motion and sound, if any.

Likewise, it’s important to fill in the blank of what city, town or village you were in, and the correct state. An accurate date and time of the sighting is also critical, especially if other people report the sighting. All of this helps UFO investigators correlate mass sightings.

Be sure to share your identification and contact information. The NUFORC and MUFON folks are honest people, but if you really want to remain anonymous that’s ok too.

Finally, you really only need to file the report with one of the two UFO reporting services. Most the researchers monitor both databases.

Spring is coming and with it comes the season for UFO sightings. Enjoy the experience if you see one!

LET’S LOOK AT SOME RECENT UFO SIGHTINGS IN NEW YORK SKIES:

Jan. 17, 2016: At 4:15 a.m., a resident of Accord witnessed three bright golden lights flying in a tight formation. The lights were moving slowly above the tree line.

Jan. 17, 2016: At 8:30 p.m., a resident of Manhattan observed a white cloud-like object that was rotating.

Jan. 22, 2016: At 6 a.m., a resident of Middle Village witnessed a bright object fly across the sky in a high arc.

Jan. 24, 2016: At 11:45 p.m. a resident of Whitestone watched a bright light streak across the sky.

If you are interested in joining a monthly UFO discussion group in the Onondaga County area, drop Cheryl an email NYSkies@DragonLadyMedia.com. If you have a UFO sighting to report, you can use either one of the two national database services: nuforc.org or mufon.com. Both services respect confidentiality.

Cheryl Costa would love to hear the when, where and what of your New York sighting. Email it to NYSkies@DragonLadyMedia.com. The names of witnesses will be omitted to protect their privacy.

5 of the most chilling British UFO sightings in history revealed

5 of the most chilling British UFO sightings in history revealed

UFO
The UK has seen some chilling reports of UFO sightings over the years Getty

TALES of unidentified flying objects have always shaken up conspiracy theorists and, in the spirit of the X-Files, we’ve rounded up the top five British sightings which sent shivers down our spine.

1) Not the whole picture... Photos plundered

In 1990, two hikers in the Scottish Highlands were startled when a huge diamond-shaped object appeared in the air, where it hovered for 10 minutes before shooting off into the sky.

Whilst most UFO ‘sightings’ lack convincing photo evidence, these savvy spotters managed to snap the mysterious craft.

A series of 6 colour photos showed the 25-metre metallic craft with an RAF jet in pursuit, and the pictures were said to be the best ever evidence of UFO activity.

Of course, these snaps ended up in the hands of government officials, but Nick Pope, an MoD employee charged with logging UFO sightings, said a blown-up image was removed suspiciously from his office.

He said: “It was the best UFO photo we ever received... intelligence personnel came to the conclusion that these photographs are real – it’s a solid craft and no-one has the faintest idea what it is.”

He claims this was part of an internal cover-up, but he was told by officials there was no record of the original photos when he pressed them.

2) Was a UK UFO sighting ‘covered up’?

In December 1980, two members of a US security patrol at an Air Force base in Suffolk went to investigate a suspicious light in nearby Rendlesham Forest.

One of the men, Jim Penniston, claimed he saw a strange craft in the woods.

“I estimated it to be about three metres tall and about three metres wide at the base,” he said. “I walked right up to it. I noticed the fabric of the shell was more like a smooth, opaque, black glass.”

The object then apparently vanished, but other staff at the base noticed some strange sights over the next few days.

Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt described a hovering object and “a beam coming down to the ground”, whilst other guards investigating another supposed UFO landing in the forest were warned away by shadowy military personnel.

Whilst the official investigation said the sightings were due to a lighthouse, Halt, now, 75, claims he obtained reports saying local radio operators did log a mystery craft.

He believes he was part of a serious UFO cover-up.

3) Copper nicked by aliens

Former British cop Alan Godfrey believes he was the victim of an alien abduction when he was on a night patrol in November 1980.

The respected policeman was suddenly startled by a brightly lit craft on the road in front of him, which he claimed was “the size of a bus.”

The UFO was 14ft tall, rotating and hovering five feet above the ground, but when the creeped-out cop tried to radio for help, Pc Godfrey found his device was dead.

The next thing remembered was driving along the road again 30 yards beyond the point where he was stopped.

He found he couldn’t remember the 15-minute period after spotting the craft, and filed an official report when other officers and a lorry driver saw similarly strange lights in the same area as his encounter.

Under hypnosis, the policeman later recalled seeing small beings on the UFO, as well as a figure who conducted medical tests on him. Pc Godfrey said: “This was a solid craft, not a trick of the mind.

“I would swear on the Bible it was from somewhere else."

4) The mysterious ‘Dudley Dorito’

A black triangular UFO spotted several times over the Midlands has been dubbed the ‘Dudley Dorito.’

In 2008, the craft was snapped over Dudley, with a report following in 2010 that a triangular craft “four or five time bigger than a plane” had been spotted in the region.

And, mere weeks later, 21-year-old quality inspector Minuesh Mistry saw a similar craft hovering above his home in Tipton.

He said: “Me and my closest friend saw an amazing fast-moving and silent craft in the shape of a triangle made up of what appeared to be three lights fly across the sky at a mind-boggling speed.”

Officials dismissed the reports as likely to be caused by “supernormal atmospheric plasma phenomenon”.

5) A plane crazy sighting

A shocked jumbo jet pilot was left fearing for his life after a near-miss with a UFO in July 2013.

His aircraft was flying over Berkshire at 34,000ft when the cabin crew spotted a strange object hurtling towards his port side window.

In the last moment, the “bright silver rugby ball-shaped” craft allegedly vanished into thin air as quickly as it appeared.

The panicked pilot radioed air traffic control, but radar came up blank – as did military scanners when an official report into the sighting was launched.

The investigation concluded it was “not possible to trace the object or determine the likely cause of the sighting.”

Supernatural Staffordshire: Stuart, Nanook and the Cannock Chase UFO

Supernatural Staffordshire: Stuart, Nanook and the Cannock Chase UFO

By The Sentinel  

Stuart saw light emanating through the tall trees...

PARANORMAL investigator Damon Simms has explored some of Staffordshire's spookiest locations. This week he interviews a man who encountered something inexplicable in the woods...

The paranormal world is something I find absolutely fascinating but if there is one subject that really stirs my imagination it is the prospect of life on other planets and the thought that it has visited us here on Earth.

UFOs and aliens to some people would seem fantastical. However, for others they are all too real... as Stuart found out in July of 2013.

Stuart works for the fire and rescue service locally and, in his spare time, enjoys walking his dog at Cannock Chase.

RELATED CONTENT

His dog is a three-year-old husky called Nanook - named after the dog from the classic 80s horror movie The Lost Boys.

Day or night, come rain or shine, he would always take time out to enjoy a long stroll with his dog.

It was late July and the sun was setting over the Chase. Stuart hasn't seen another soul for almost an hour.

As man and dog ventured further into the dense and vast woodland area, Stuart and Nanook were both enjoying the fresh evening air.

Stuart described an almost intoxicating and revitalising smell of natural pine which became stronger the further they walked into the towering trees.

Normally around this time on their walks, Nanook would become excitable and run off - only to return with a random sticks and cones for his owner.

However, for some reason on this occasion Stuart noticed that Nanook seemed hesitant to leave his side.

In the distance Stuart thought that he kept getting glimpses of light emanating through the tall trees.

He remembers Nanook kept glancing towards the light as if he could hear or sense something.

Stuart stopped walking so that he could pay attention to the strange situation.

At that moment, Stuart claims he could not only sense but smell what he describes as a static or electrical atmosphere envelope them.

He says Nanook became agitated and began to growl in a protective and aggressive manner in the direction was where the light was coming from.

Stuart said that he felt as if he was rooted to the ground and became paralysed with fear.

The more intense the atmosphere became the more terrified he felt and the more agitated his dog became.

The lights flashed again. This made Nanook even more agitated.

By now his fur was standing up all over his back, his head was bowed low and his teeth were bared as he snarled at whatever the perceived threat was.

Then something even stranger happened.

The lights that seemed to be just off the forest floor began to rise - 10 feet, then 15 feet, then 20 feet into the air.

Still the lights continue to rise until it seemed to Stuart they had risen above the top of the trees.

Looking up, Stuart stared with his mouth wide open.

Finally, he could make out where the lights had been coming from and as he looked above the treetops he could now clearly see what looked like a large, metallic disc-shaped object 'the size of the centre circle on a football pitch'.

Struggling to take in what he was actually witnessing, he attempted to calm his dog but he says the words wouldn't come out. By this point Nanook was uncontrollable.

The object stopped rising into the air and suddenly changed direction. Slowly but steadily it moved towards Stuart and his canine guardian.

Stuart managed to shake himself out of an almost trance-like state and began to stumble away - dragging Nanook with him.

Stuart told me that he even tried to hide behind a number of trees - hoping to shake off the strange UFO but the object seemed to just know where they were.

For a moment Stewart and his dog lost sight of the object.

Then suddenly it rose to approximately 50 feet in the air and hung there motionless for about a minute before thundering into the sky at what Stuart described as an unbelievable speed.

Then it was gone.

Shaking, yet feeling exhilarated from his experience, Stuart returned home with Nanook.

He informed me that he has told a few close friends and family and that most didn't believe his story.

However, I have no doubt - having spent quite some time interviewing him - that Stuart himself believes that he encountered something inexplicable that night at Cannock Chase...

Moonwalker, Outspoken UFO Enthusiast Ed Mitchell Dead At 85

Moonwalker, Outspoken UFO Enthusiast Ed Mitchell Dead At 85

In the news yesterday, not much was made of the passing of Edgar Mitchell, who walked on the moon in 1971. According to his family, Mitchell, 85, died in a Lake Worth, FL, hospice after a brief illness Feb. 4, the day before the 45-year anniversary of his lunar landing. Of the dozen humans who have walked on the moon, that leaves just seven still alive.

Two thoughts immediately come to mind about the relative lack of media interest. First, in a culture obsessed with fame and faux celebrity, perhaps Mitchell did not rise to the glib mediocrity of say, a Donald Trump, the Kardashians or a past Super Bowl ad. Then again maybe it was the fact that Mitchell, in addition to his stellar astronaut credentials, was outspoken about the controversial subject of UFOs. Ask any pilot or credible witness who has seen something – it is a no-no to report it.

In 1952 Mitchell earned a B.S. Then, while on active military duty he completed his M.S. at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and earned a Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from MIT. In 1970, the former Korean War fighter pilot was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and, in 1997, inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame.

A few years back I had the privilege of chatting with Mitchell. To give a sense of what the man was about, following are selected edited excerpts. I found him thoughtful, modest and smart as a whip. He was brave, too – not only in his commitment to space exploration, but in a willingness to share his controversial views with the world.

Jim Clash: Was there much emotion when you became the sixth man on the moon?

Edgar Mitchell: Sure it was wonderful, we were pleased to do it and it was enjoyable to be among the first, but it was just part of a checklist we had practiced week after week at Cape Kennedy. We would go through the whole routine, modify it, rewrite it, modify it again until we were comfortable with the order. And, of course, our mission was to be the first to do science on the moon, so we had to be very careful about getting everything in during the allotted time. Apollo 11 and 12 were just to prove physically we could get [astronauts] down, and then back safely. Apollo 14 was to start doing science.

JC: You had a famous spiritual “moment” on your return to Earth.

EM: All I had to do then was monitor the spacecraft systems, which were functioning perfectly. I could lie back in weightlessness and watch the slow progress of the heavens. Suddenly I felt tuned into something much larger than myself, larger than the planet in the window – something incomprehensibly big. Even today, the perception baffles me. It wasn’t religious or otherworldly, nor was it new scientific understanding which I had suddenly become aware of. It was a pointer showing the direction toward greater understanding.

JC: What’s your knowledge of the famous 1947 Roswell incident?

EM: After my space flight, I was contacted by some descendants of the original Roswell observers, including the person who delivered the child-sized coffins to the Air Force to contain the alien bodies. Another was one of the children of the deputy sheriff who was patrolling traffic around the site back then. There was also a military officer who was a friend of the families not involved in that particular operation but who did share office space there. They all seemed credible with their stories that the bodies were alien.

JC: If that’s the case, why do you believe it has been covered up?

EM: Initially, there was justification in that leadership officials thought the people weren’t ready to handle it. But I think we are well past that now. Frankly, and this is just a personal opinion, remember what [President Dwight D.] Eisenhower in his final speech said: “Beware the military industrial complex.” I suspect that’s what we’re talking about. But it’s not just the military. It’s a cabal of money and military organizations primarily for the profit motive. We invented aircraft at the beginning of the 20th century. Twenty years later, we had an airline industry. Think of what that could mean in terms of space travel with control of that [UFO] machinery, that technology. There’s a lot of money involved.

JC: Is it separate efforts within countries like the U.S, Russia, China, etc., or is it a worldwide cabal?

EM: I think it’s worldwide, but I have no way of proving that. It’s just speculation on my part.

What Neurologist Discovered With Alien Abductions Victims

What Neurologist Discovered With Alien Abductions Victims

eople claiming to have been abducted by aliens are considered mentally delusional. However, as stories of alien abduction become more and more mainstream, it is hard to dismiss the credibility of these alien abduction witnesses. The idea of aliens has been discussed for many years now by different persons. There are many researchers exploring the existence of ancient aliens and whether they have already visited our planet or not.

Dr. Michael Russo

When asked about the possible delusion, Neurologist Dr. Michael B. Russo claimed he didn’t know what to say to his patients who shared their abduction stories. He said that the majority of the doctors of his current patients sent them because the latter complained of primary headaches or some neurological problems. But their physicians didn’t have any idea about their abduction stories not until Dr. Russo asked them about the duration of the problem. As part of his examination, Dr. Russo used his dense array electroencephalography, or DEEG, a machine worth $200,000. The machine maps the electrical activity in the brains of his patients. Russo wondered if there are similarities to patients complaining about being abducted with regards to brain wave activity.

According to his examination, those patients claiming to have been abducted by aliens have shown abnormalities in their parietal lobe brain wave activity. The electrical brain wave activities of abductee patients are similar to patients who experienced traumatic brain injury. He tries to look at the experiences as different based from his patients’ point of view and works with them to alleviate their problem.

When performing DEEG tests, patients often ask the possibility of interpreting or reading transmitter. Russo confirmed that he couldn’t see the wire, but he can see the brain signals. Russo has experienced success using pharmacological therapies in alleviating the headache pains. Russo will share his findings, which co-authored with Shane Endicott, Ryan Nillo, Melba C. Stetz, and Judith Profant on their upcoming meeting at the Hawaii Convention Center.

One of The Most Compelling Alien Abduction Cases In History

allahash-abduction

The following documentary is about one of the most mysterious and compelling UFO, and potential extraterrestrial/alien abduction cases from the witnesses’ perspective themselves.

Twin brothers Jim and Jack Weiner, together with their two friends Charles Foltz and Charles Rack, went on a trip for canoeing and camping to the Allagash in Maine in August 1976. One night they experienced a UFO encounter.

Years after that alien encounter, the brothers suffered nightmares and underwent regression hypnosis. Regressed separately, they shared similar recollections of what took place on the night of their UFO sighting.

Secret sur la fabuleuse cité perdue du Grand Canyon en Arizona.

Secret sur la fabuleuse cité perdue du Grand Canyon en Arizona.

Une ancienne civilisation aurait vécue dans des grottes sous le Grand Canyon ?
Peut-être que la suppression (secret) la plus étonnante de toutes est l’excavation d’une tombe égyptienne par le Smithsonian lui-même dans l’Arizona. Une longue 1ère page historique.

de la Gazette de Phoenix du 5 Avril 1909 a présenté un rapport très détaillé de la découverte et de l’excavation d’une voûte taillée dans la roche par une expédition menée par un professeur SA Jordan de la Smithsonian.

Le Smithsonian, cependant, prétend n’avoir absolument aucune connaissance de la découverte ou de ses découvreurs…

Secrets archéologiques … par David Hatcher Childress

grandcanyonews
Le World Explorers Club a décidé de vérifier cette histoire en appelant le Smithsonian à Washington, DC , mais nous avons senti qu’il y avait peu de chance d’obtenir quelconque information réelle. Après avoir parlé brièvement à un opérateur, nous avons été transférés à un archéologue du personnel du Smithsonian, et la voix d’une femme est venue au téléphone et s’est identifiée.
Je lui ai dit que je faisais des recherches sur l’histoire de Phoenix et les articles de journaux de 1909 au sujet de l’Institut Smithsonien qui disent avoir fouillé des voûtes taillées dans la roche dans le Grand Canyon où des artefacts égyptiens avaient été découverts, et si l’Institut Smithsonian pourrait me donner plus d’information sur le sujet .
Elle dit : « La première chose que je peux vous dire, avant d’aller plus loin, c’est qu’aucun artefact égyptien de toute nature n’a déjà été trouvé dans le nord ou l’Amérique du Sud. Par conséquent, je peux vous dire que l’Institut Smithsonian n’a jamais été impliqué dans de telles fouilles. « 
Elle était très serviable et polie, mais, à la fin, ne savait rien. Ni elle, ni personne d’autre avec qui j’ai parlé ne pouvait trouver aucune trace de la découverte ou que ce soit GE Kinkaid et le professeur S.A. Jordan. S’il ne peut être écarté que toute l’histoire soit un canular de journal, le fait qu’elle était sur la première page, a nommé le prestigieux Institut Smithsonian, et a donné un récit très détaillé qui a duré plusieurs pages, prête beaucoup à sa crédibilité.
Il est difficile de croire qu’une telle histoire aurait pu venir de nulle part. Si cette histoire est vraie, cela changerait radicalement la vue actuelle qu’il n’y a eu aucun contact transocéanique à l’époque précolombienne, et que tous les Indiens d’Amérique, sur les deux continents, descendent des explorateurs de l’Age de Glace qui ont traversé le détroit de Béring .
C’est l’idée que des Egyptiens venus dans la région de l’Arizona dans le passé antique est si répréhensible et absurde qu’elle doit être cachée ? Peut-être que l’Institut Smithsonien est plus intéressé à maintenir le statu quo que de faire des vagues avec une étonnante nouvelle de découvertes qui bouleversent les enseignements académiques précédemment acceptés .
L’historien et linguiste Carl Hart, éditeur de Word Explorer, a pu obtenir une carte pour les randonneurs du Grand Canyon, à partir d’une librairie de Chicago.
Penchés sur la carte, nous avons été surpris de voir que beaucoup de la région sur le côté nord du canyon avait des noms égyptiens. La zone autour de Ninety-four Mile Creek et de Trinity Creek avait des zones (des formations rocheuses, apparemment) avec des noms comme Tour de Set, Tour de Ra , Temple d’Horus, Temple d’Osiris et Temple d’Isis.

Dans la zone du Canyon Haunted il y a des noms tels que la pyramide de Khéops, le Cloître de Bouddha, le
Temple du Bouddha, Manu Temple et Temple de Shiva. Il y a-t-il une relation entre ces lieux et les prétendues découvertes égyptiennes dans le Grand Canyon ?
Nous avons appelé un archéologue de l’Etat au Grand Canyon, et il a dit que les premiers explorateurs devaient aimer les noms égyptiens et hindous, mais il est vrai que cette zone était interdite aux randonneurs ou d’autres visiteurs, en raison des cavernes dangereuses.
En effet, toute cette zone avec les noms de lieux égyptiens et hindous dans le Grand Canyon est une zone interdite – nul n’est autorisé dans cette grande surface. Nous ne pouvions qu’en conclure que c’était l’endroit où se trouvaient les voûtes. Pourtant, aujourd’hui encore, cette région est curieusement hors-limites de tous les randonneurs et même, en grande partie, du personnel du parc.

Je crois que le lecteur averti verra que si seulement une petite partie de la preuve « Smithsoniangate » est vraie, alors notre institut archéologique le plus sacré a été activement impliqué dans la suppression de preuves sur des cultures américaines avancées, des preuves de voyages antiques de diverses cultures vers le Nord Amérique, la preuve de géants et d’autres objets excentriques, et la preuve qui tend à infirmer le dogme officiel qui est maintenant l’histoire de l’Amérique du Nord.
Le conseil des gouverneurs de l’Institut Smithsonien refuse toujours d’ouvrir ses réunions aux médias ou au public. Si les Américains n’ont jamais été autorisés à l’intérieur du « grenier de la nation », comme le Smithsonian a été appelé, quels squelettes pourraient-ils y trouver ?
Rapport de G. E. Kinkaid
GE Kinkaid croyait être la première personne de race blanche née dans l’Idaho. Il a été un explorateur et un chasseur toute sa vie, 30 années de travail à l’Institut Smithsonien. Voici des extraits de son journal de ses aventures présumées dans la grotte.
 » Je voyageais sur le fleuve Colorado dans un bateau, seul, à la recherche de minéraux. A quelque 42 miles (67 km) en haut de la rivière du El Tovar Crystal Canyon, j’ai remarqué, sur le mur est, des taches dans la formation sédimentaire à environ 2.000 pieds (610 mètres) au-dessus du lit de la rivière. Il n’y avait pas de piste à ce moment, mais j’ai pu finalement l’atteindre avec grande difficulté. « 
Cette falaise est censé être l’emplacement de l’entrée de la grotte à la mystérieuse citadelle souterraine.
 » L’entrée est à 1,486 pieds (453 m) au-delà du mur du canyon. Au-dessus d’une avancée qui le cachait à la vue de la rivière, se trouvait l’entrée de la grotte. Il y a des escaliers menant à cette entrée à une trentaine de mètres de ce qui était à l’époque le niveau de la rivière.
Quand j’ai vu les coups de ciseau sur la paroi interne de l’entrée, je m’y suis intéressé. J’ai armé mon fusil, je suis entré.
J’ai rassemblé un certain nombre de reliques, que je transportais par la Colorado jusqu’à Yuma, d’où je les ai expédiées à Washington avec les détails de la découverte. Par la suite, d’autres explorations ont été menées. Assez intéressés sont devenus les scientifiques, au point que des préparatifs sont en cours pour équiper notre camp pour des études approfondies, le nombre d’archéologues est en augmentation de 30 à 40. «

 » Du long passage principal, une autre chambre de mammouth (géante) a été découverte à partir de laquelle rayonne des marques de passages, comme les rayons d’une roue.
Plusieurs centaines de pièces ont été découvertes, atteintes par des passages allant du passage principal, l’un d’entre eux ayant été exploré sur 854 pieds (260 m) et un autre sur 634 pieds (193 m). Les découvertes récentes incluent des artefacts qui n’ont jamais été connus comme originaires de ce pays, et sans doute qu’ils avaient leur origine en Orient. Des armes de guerre, des instruments de cuivre, acérés et durs comme l’acier, indiquent l’état de civilisation atteint par ces personnes.
Le passage principal est d’environ 12 pieds (3,70 m) de large, se rétrécissant à neuf pieds (2,70 m) vers la fin plus loin. Environ à 57 mètres de l’entrée, la première branche secondaire passe à droite et à gauche, le long de laquelle, des deux côtés, un certain nombre de pièces de la taille de pièces de vie ordinaires d’aujourd’hui, même si certaines sont de 30 par 40 pieds carrés (9 par 12 mètres carrés). Elles sont ouvertes par des portes de forme ovale et sont aérées par des trous d’air ronds à travers les murs dans les passages. Les murs sont d’environ trois pieds six pouces d’épaisseur (1,07 m).
Les passages sont ciselés ou taillés aussi droits que pourraient l’être aménagés par un ingénieur. Les plafonds de la plupart des chambres convergent vers un centre. Les passages secondaires partant près de l’entrée prennent à un angle aigu par rapport à la salle principale, mais vers l’arrière ils l’atteignent progressivement par un bon angle dans la direction. « 
 » A plus d’une centaine mètres de l’entrée est le Hall en Croix, de plusieurs centaines de mètres de long, dans lequel on trouve l’idole, ou l’image, du dieu du peuple, assis les jambes croisées, avec une fleur de lotus ou de nénuphar dans chaque main. La forme du visage est oriental. L’idole ressemble presque à Bouddha, bien que les scientifiques ne sont pas certains du culte religieux qu’il représente. Prenant en considération tout ce qu’on a trouvé à ce jour, il est possible que ce culte ressemble le plus à l’ancien peuple du Tibet.
grandcanyonshrine
Autour de cette idole se trouvent de petites figurines, dont certaines très belles dans leurs formes, d’autres avec des formes tordues et déformées, symboliques, probablement, du bien et du mal. Il y a deux grands cactus, les bras en saillie, un de chaque côté de l’estrade sur laquelle repose le Dieu. Tout cela est gravé dans le marbre ressemblant à du rocher dur.
Dans le coin opposé de ce Hall en Croix a été trouvé des outils de toutes sortes, en cuivre. Ces gens connaissaient sans doute l’art perdu de durcir ce métal, qui a été tenté par des produits chimiques pendant des siècles sans résultats.
Sur un banc qui court autour de la salle de travail était un peu de charbon et d’autres matières probablement utilisées dans le processus. Il y a également des scories et des trucs similaires à du métal, montrant que ces anciens ont fondu des minerais, mais jusqu’ici, aucune trace d’où ni comment cela a été fait n’a été découverte, ni sur l’origine du minerai.
Parmi les autres découvertes sont des vases ou des urnes et des tasses de cuivre et d’or, très artistiques dans leur conception. Le travail sur la poterie comprend de la céramique émaillée et des récipients vitrifiés.
Un autre passage mène aux greniers comme on en trouve dans les temples orientaux. Ils contiennent des graines de toutes sortes. Un très grand entrepôt n’a pas encore été fouillé, comme il est de douze pieds de haut (3 m 70) et ne peut être atteint que par le haut.
Deux crochets de cuivre dépassent du bord, ce qui indique qu’une sorte d’échelle avait été fixée . Ces greniers sont arrondis, comme les matériaux dont ils sont construits, que je pense être un ciment très dur. Un métal gris se trouve également dans cette caverne, qui choque les scientifiques, son identité n’a pas été établie. Il ressemble à du platine. Parsemé pêle-mêle sur le sol partout se trouvent ce que les gens appellent des « yeux de chat », une pierre jaune sans grande valeur. Chacune est gravée avec une tête du type malais. « 
Sculptés sur toutes les urnes, au-dessus des portes et des tablettes de pierre, se trouvent de mystérieux hiéroglyphes, la clé que l’Institut Smithsonien espérait découvrir.
Les gravures sur les tablettes ont probablement quelque chose à voir avec la religion du peuple. Des Hiéroglyphes similaires ont été trouvés dans le sud de l’Arizona.
Parmi les œuvres picturales, seuls deux animaux se trouvent – l’un d’eux ressemble à un animal préhistorique.

 » Le tombeau ou crypte dans laquelle les momies ont été trouvées est l’une des plus importantes des chambres, avec les murs inclinés en arrière à un angle d’environ 35 degrés. Sur des niveaux il y a des momies, chacune occupant une tablette taillée séparée.
A la tête de chacune est un petit banc, sur lequel on trouve des tasses de cuivre et des pièces d’épées brisées. Certaines de ces momies sont recouvertes d’argile et toutes sont enveloppées dans un manteau

grandcanyonlegends
Les urnes ou les découpes aux niveaux inférieurs sont grossières, tandis que quand les niveaux élevés sont atteints, les urnes sont plus fines dans leur conception, montrant un stade ultérieur de la civilisation. Il est intéressant de noter que toutes les momies examinées jusqu’ici se sont révélés être des hommes, pas d’enfants ou de femmes étant enterrés ici. Cela conduit à la conviction que cette section extérieure était la caserne des guerriers.
Parmi les découvertes, aucun os d’animaux n’ont été trouvés, aucune peau, pas de vêtements, pas de literie. La plupart des chambres sont nues mais pour des récipients d’eau.
Une chambre, d’environ 40 (12 m) par 700 pieds (213 m), était probablement la salle à manger principale, puisque des ustensiles de cuisine sont disponibles ici. Que ces gens vivaient ici est un problème, si on suppose qu’ils sont venus du sud en hiver et faisaient de l’élevage dans les vallées, et en allant vers le nord en été.
Au moins 50.000 personnes ont pu vivre dans ces cavernes confortablement. Une théorie est que les actuelles tribus indiennes trouvées en Arizona sont les descendants des serfs ou des esclaves des gens qui ont habité la grotte.
Sans doute un bon plusieurs milliers d’années avant l’ère chrétienne, un peuple vivait ici, qui a atteint un haut degré de civilisation. La chronologie de l’histoire humaine est pleine de lacunes.
Une chose dont je n’ai pas parlé, ayant peut-être un intérêt. Il y a une chambre de passage qui n’est pas ventilée, et quand nous l’avons approchée, une mauvaise odeur de mort nous a frappé.
Notre lumière ne pouvait pas pénétrer dans la salle, et jusqu’à ce que de plus fortes soient disponibles, nous ne saurons pas ce que la chambre contient. Certains disent qu’il y a des serpents, mais d’autres pensent qu’elle peut contenir un gaz ou des produits chimiques utilisés par les anciens. On n’entend aucun son, mais ça sent mauvais tout de même.
L’ensemble de l’installation souterraine donne des nerfs fragiles ou la chair de poule. Le sentiment sombre d’avoir comme un poids sur ses épaules, et nos lampes de poche et nos bougies font seulement rendre moins noire l’obscurité. L’imagination peut se vautrer dans des conjectures et rêveries impies à travers les âges qui se sont écoulés, jusqu’à ce que les circuits de votre esprit vous mènent vertigineusement dans l’espace. «

Une Légende Indienne…
Dans le cadre de cette histoire, il est à noter que parmi les Indiens Hopi, la tradition raconte que leurs ancêtres ont vécu dans un monde souterrain dans le Grand Canyon, jusqu’à dissension s’éleva entre le bon et le mauvais, les gens d’un seul cœur et les habitants de deux cœurs.
Machetto, qui était leur chef, leur conseilla de quitter le monde souterrain, mais il n’y avait pas d’issue. Le chef a ensuite provoqué la croissance d’un arbre et a percé le toit de la grotte, et puis les gens avec un seul cœur sont sortis. Ils passèrent par Paisisvai (Red River), qui est le Colorado, et ont semé le grain et le maïs.
Ils ont envoyé un messager au Temple du Soleil, demandant la bénédiction de la paix, de bonne volonté et de la pluie pour les personnes d’un seul cœur. Ce messager ne revint jamais, mais aujourd’hui, dans les villages Hopi, au coucher du soleil peut être vu les vieillards de la tribu sur les toits, regardant fixement vers le soleil, à la recherche du messager. Quand il reviendra, leurs terres et ancien lieu d’habitation seront restitués. C’est la tradition.
Parmi les gravures d’animaux de la grotte est considérée l’image d’un cœur au-dessus de l’endroit où il se trouvait. La légende a été apprise par W.E. Rollins, l’artiste, au cours d’une année passée avec les Indiens Hopi.

Il y a deux théories sur l’origine des Egyptiens. La première est qu’ils venaient d’Asie ; l’autre que le berceau de la race était dans la région du Haut-Nil. Heeren, un égyptologue, croyait à l’origine indienne des Egyptiens. Les découvertes dans le Grand Canyon peuvent jeter un nouvel éclairage sur l’évolution humaine et de la préhistoire…
Possible localisation de la cité troglodyte perdue :
Marble Canyon a obtenu son nom du Major John Wesley Powell, qui, en Août 1869, écrit dans son journal sur des « falaises de marbre », qui contenaient « un grand nombre de grottes ». Il est important de noter ici que Powell a déclaré que Marble Canyon contenait « un grand nombre de grottes ». La «citadelle» dont Kincaid parle dans son histoire est dans une « grotte ».
Depuis ces temps, de nombreuses grottes de Powell ont été notées ou découvertes dans la région de Marble Canyon, y compris la grotte de Stanton, une grande grotte dans la formation de Redwall au kilomètre (mile) 31,7 et un important site archéologique.

« L’Arizona, le Nouveau Mexique et la région des “Quatre Coins” où se rejoignent les états de l’Arizona, de l’Utah, du Colorado et du Nouveau Mexique, sont les plus importantes régions de la Terre quant aux bases souterraines reptiliennes. Mais des mondes et des villes souterrains, anciens et modernes abondent de par la planète. »
« Denver est apparemment prévue pour loger les quartiers généraux de la section ouest des Etats-Unis sous l’état fasciste global appelé Le nouvel ordre mondial et qui est planifié au-delà de l’année 2000. On dit qu’Atlanta serait le centre pour la section de l’est et je me souviens avoir pensé il y a quelques années combien la similarité du modèle des aéroports de Denver et d’Atlanta est frappante; maintenant, j’en connais la raison.
Le Colorado est un des endroits de prédilection pour le Nouvel ordre mondial. La reine d’Angleterre, sous un nom d’emprunt, a acheté des terres dans cette région. »
« Un des principaux contacts d’Alex Christopher était un individu appelé Phil Schneider, le fils d’un commandant d’un destroyer allemand durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, qui a été commissionné à construire de profondes bases souterraines aux États-Unis.
J’ai vu certaines de ses conférences enregistrées sur vidéo où il commençait à dévoiler publiquement l’existence d’un réseau souterrain constitué de bases, de villes et de tunnels dispersés à travers les États-Unis. Il est mort plus tard dans des circonstances suspectes qui devaient laisser croire à un “suicide”.
Schneider disait que l’aéroport de Denver était relié à une profonde base souterraine d’au moins huit niveaux. Elle comprenait une ville souterraine de 4,5 milles carrés (11,65 km2) et une vaste base, a-t-il dit.
D’autres contacts, qui sont allés sous terre à l’aéroport de Denver, prétendent qu’il y a beaucoup d’esclaves humains, dont beaucoup d’enfants qui travaillent là sous le contrôle des reptiliens. Deux des bases que Phil Schneider prétend avoir aidé à construire sont l’infâme Zone 51 au Nevada et Dulce au Nouveau Mexique qui est reliée par un réseau de tunnels au laboratoire national de Los Alamos. »

« Il y a au moins sept niveaux souterrains à Dulce, probablement plus, et Bishop a compilé des récits d’ouvriers qui ont décrit ce qu’ils ont vu là. Leurs comptes-rendus reflètent les descriptions concernant les Annunaki des textes sumériens, dans lesquels ils effectuent des croisements d’espèces pour produire des hybrides monstrueux de genres diversifiés. Voici ce que les ouvriers ont dit de Dulce :
“ Le niveau numéro six est secrètement appelé, le “hall du cauchemar” qui sert aux laboratoires génétiques. Les rapports d’ouvriers qui ont vu des expériences bizarres, se lisent ainsi : “ J’ai vu des “humains” à plusieurs jambes qui ressemblaient à des êtres mi-humains, mi-pieuvres. J’ai aussi vu des reptiliens-humains et des créatures velues aux mains humaines qui pleuraient comme des bébés en imitant des mots humains… Il y avait aussi une énorme quantité d’hybrides humains-lézards dans des cages ”.
Il y a des poissons, des phoques, des oiseaux et des souris qui pourraient difficilement êtres considérés comme des spécimens de leurs espèces. Il y a aussi plusieurs cages (et des fosses) d’humanoïdes ailés, de créatures grotesques ressemblant à des chauves-souris… mais de trois pieds et demi à sept pieds de haut (1.06 à 2.13 m).
Et aussi des êtres ressemblant à des gargouilles et à des dragons-reptiliens.
“ Le niveau numéro sept est pire : rangée après rangée, des milliers d’humains et d’hybrides humains dans un entrepôt frigorifié. Ici aussi, il y a des cuves d’entreposage d’embryons humanoïdes à des stades de développement divers. (Un ouvrier a dit) “…J
j’ai fréquemment rencontré des humains en cage, généralement hébétés ou drogués, mais quelquefois ils pleuraient et nous suppliaient de les aider. On nous a dit qu’ils étaient des fous incurables et qu’ils étaient sujets à des tests de drogues à haut risque pour guérir la folie. On nous a dit de ne jamais essayer de leur parler. Au début, nous avons cru cette histoire. Finalement, en 1978, un petit groupe d’ouvriers a découvert la vérité ”.

Cette découverte a apparemment mené à la “guerre de Dulce”, une bataille entre les humains et les extraterrestres en 1979, au cours de laquelle beaucoup de scientifiques et de militaires ont été tués.

Phil Scheider affirme avoir participé à une fusillade contre les aliénigènes à Dulce dans laquelle il a été touché par un fusil laser qui lui a déchiré la poitrine. Il avait certainement une incroyable cicatrice comme il l’a dévoilée publiquement. Résultant de ce conflit, la base a été fermée pendant un certain temps mais réouverte depuis. »

« Une autre base souterraine reptilienne se trouve sous le canyon Boynton à Sedona, en Arizona. On croit que le centre de la base est situé dans ce qui est appelé bien à propos, le canyon secret. »

« Rhodes ajoute : “ À partir de leurs bases souterraines, les militaires reptiliens extraterrestres… établissent un réseau de croisements humano-reptiliens qui s’infiltre ensuite à différents niveaux de la culture de surface, dans les complexes militaro-industriels, les corps gouvernementaux, les groupes ovni/paranormaux, les ordres religieux et fraternels, etc.
Ces “fruits” de croisements génétiques, dont certains sont ignorants de la présence des instructions de leur code de “contrôle mental” génétique reptilien, actualisent leurs rôles subversifs en tant “qu’agents reptiliens”, mettant ainsi en place le scénario adéquat pour une invasion par des ET, sous la conduite des reptiliens ”.
Je n’ai été mis en contact avec l’oeuvre de John Rhodes que quelques jours avant la complétion de ce livre et tel que vous le verrez dans le texte détaillé, j’en étais venu exactement aux mêmes conclusions.
Rhodes déclare qu’après l’invasion d’une planète par les reptiliens à partir de l’espace et de leurs bases souterraines, la population en surface capitule rapidement devant la supériorité de l’armement. Alors, les reptiliens défolient la planète de ses ressources telles que l’eau, les minéraux et l’information concernant l’ADN. L’infiltration du tissu humain via les sociétés secrètes est une méthode clef du contrôle reptilien comme je le préciserai. »

Do civilizations of advanced human beings exist scattered in the Galaxy?

A group of researchers working at the Human Genome Project indicate that they made an astonishing scientific discovery: They believe so-called 97% non-coding sequences in human DNA is no less than genetic code of extraterrestrial life forms.

The non-coding sequences are common to all living organisms on Earth, from moulds to fish to humans. In human DNA, they constitute larger part of the total genome, says Prof. Sam Chang, the group leader. Non-coding sequences, originally known as “junk DNA”, were discovered years ago, and their function remained a mystery. The overwhelming majority of Human DNA is “Off-world” in origin. The apparent “extraterrestrial junk genes” merely “enjoy the ride” with hard working active genes, passed from generation to generation.

After comprehensive analysis with the assistance of other scientists, computer programmers, mathematicians, and other learned scholars, Professor Chang had wondered if the apparently “junk Human DNA” was created by some kind of “extraterrestrial programmer”. The alien chunks within Human DNA, Professor Chang further observes, “have its own veins, arteries, and its own immune system that vigorously resists all our anti-cancer drugs.”

Professor Chang further stipulates that “Our hypothesis is that a higher extraterrestrial life form was engaged in creating new life and planting it on various planets. Earth is just one of them. Perhaps, after programming, our creators grow us the same way we grow bacteria in Petri dishes. We can’t know their motives – whether it was a scientific experiment, or a way of preparing new planets for colonization, or is it long time ongoing business of seedling life in the universe.”

Professor Chang further indicates that “If we think about it in our human terms, the apparent “extraterrestrial programmers” were most probably working on “one big code” consisting of several projects, and the projects should have produced various life forms for various planets. They have been also trying various solutions. They wrote “the big code”, executed it, did not like some function, changed them or added new one, executed again, made more improvements, tried again and again.”

Professor Chang’s team of researchers furthermore concludes that, “The apparent “extraterrestrial programmers” may have been ordered to cut all their idealistic plans for the future when they concentrated on the “Earth project” to meet the pressing deadline. Very likely in an apparent rush, the “extraterrestrial programmers” may have cut down drastically on big code and delivered basic program intended for Earth.”

Professor Chang is only one of many scientists and other researchers who have discovered extraterrestrial origins to Humanity.

Human Genome Project Coordinators

Human Genome Project Coordinators find absolute proof of Extraterrestrial contact with ‘Earth humans’ via DNA evidence.

Professor Chang and his research colleagues show that apparent “extraterrestrial programming” gaps in DNA sequencing precipitated by a hypothesized rush to create human life on Earth presented humankind with illogical growth of mass of cells we know as cancer.”

Professor Chang further indicates that “What we see in our DNA is a program consisting of two versions, a big code and basic code.” Mr. Chang then affirms that the “First fact is, the complete ‘program’ was positively not written on Earth; that is now a verified fact. The second fact is, that genes by themselves are not enough to explain evolution; there must be something more in ‘the game’.”

“Soon or later”, Professor Chang says “we have to come to grips with the unbelievable notion that every life on Earth carries genetic code for his extraterrestrial cousin and that evolution is not what we think it is.”

Human Genome Project Discovery Implications associated with “Human-looking Extraterrestrials”

The implications of these scientific finds would reinforce claims by other scientists and observers of having contact with ‘off-world’ human looking extraterrestrials.

The ‘off-world’ human looking extraterrestrial have been claimed to have provided some of the genetic material for human evolution, and that many of these extraterrestrials have allowed some of their personnel to incarnate as ‘starseeds’ on Earth in human families. These “star seeds”, “star children” or “star people” are described by Brad and Francie Steiger as individuals whose ‘souls’ were formerly incarnated on the worlds of other star systems and then traveled to Earth and decided to incarnate here in order to “boost” the spiritual evolutionary development of humanity. Most of humanity would consider this group of extraterrestrials to be ‘benevolent’ as described by ‘contactees’ such as George Adamski, Orfeo Angelucci, George Van Tassell, Howard Menger, Paul Villa, Billy Meier and Alex Collier who each explain the nature of their voluntary interactions with these human looking extraterrestrials. These “contactees” often provide physical evidence in the form of photographs, film and/or witnesses of their contacts with extraterrestrial races. The most extensively documented and researched contactee is Eduard ‘Billy’ Meier who provided much physical evidence for investigators.

Representations concerning ‘Ancient astronauts’

Indeed, ‘ancient astronaut’ writers believe that a race of intelligent extraterrestrial beings visited and/or colonised Earth in the remote past, whereupon they upgraded the primitive hominid Homo erectus by means of genetic engineering to create the human race as we know it: Homo sapiens.

Evidence for this idea is found (a) in the improbability of Homo sapiens emerging so suddenly, according to the principles of orthodox Darwinism; and (b) in the myths of ancient civilisations which describe human-like gods coming down from the heavens and creating mankind ‘in their own image’.Homo sapiens is thus regarded as a hybrid being, incorporating a mix of terrestrial genes from Homo erectus and extraterrestrial genes from an ascribed “race of the gods”.

Prior to the modern age of space travel and genetics, this theory for the origins of humankind could not have been conceived. And even now, in the 21st century, there are many people who would regard it as science fiction. However, in the light of the problems with the orthodox theory of human evolution, the idea of a genetic intervention by an intelligent human-like species (who themselves evolved on another planet over a more credible time frame) does require to be taken seriously as a potential solution to the mystery.

The most famous exponents of the ancient astronaut intervention are the Swiss writer Erich von Daniken and the American writer Zecharia Sitchin. The latter, in particular, has argued the case in great detail.

Representation by academics from “Exopolitics” groups

Dr. Micheal E. Salla is one of the founders of an Exopolitics movement which seeks an open and informed dialogue on, and with, Extraterrestrials, toward the affirmation of “global democracy” and the quality-of-living of humankind as socially responsible beings in the Universe. Dr. Salla indicates that “There are an extensive number of extraterrestrial races known [by various research institutions and agencies] to be currently interacting with Earth and the human population.

Dr. Salla, is also the author of Exopolitics: Political Implications of the Extraterrestrial Presence (Dandelion Books, 2004). He has held full time academic appointments at the Australian National University, and American University, Washington DC. He has a Ph.D. in Government from the University of Queensland, Australia. During his professional academic career, he was best known for organizing a series of citizen diplomacy initiatives for the East Timor conflict funded by U.S. Institute of Peace and the Ford Foundation. He is also the Founder of the Exopolitics Institute ; and Chief Editor of the ‘Exopolitics Journal’ and Convener of the “Extraterrestrial Civilizations and World Peace Conference.”

In a 1998 interview, Clifford Stone, a retired U.S. army Sergeant who served in the U.S. Army for 22 years and allegedly participated in operations to retrieve crashed extraterrestrial ships and extraterrestrial biological entities (EBE’s), revealed there were a variety of extraterrestrial races known [by various institutions and agencies]”. Dr. Salla further elaborates that “The most compelling testimonies on the different extraterrestrial races comes from ‘whistleblowers’ such as Sergeant Stone; and also ‘contactees’ who have had direct physical contact with extraterrestrials and communicated with them.”

Dr. Salla further notes that Master Sergeant Bob Dean had a twenty seven year distinguished career in very senior areas of the military indicates that among the know extraterrestrials one group “looked so much like us they could sit next to you on a plane or in a restaurant and you’d never know the difference.”

Apparently “Human extraterrestrial races can easily integrate with human society in the manner described by Dean and others where they can be indistinguishable from the rest of humanity.” Dr. Salla corroborates.

According to Alex Collier who claims to be a “contactee”, “a variety of extraterrestrial races have provided genetic material for the ‘human experiment’. ” Alex Collier indicates that “Earth humans” are “a product of extraterrestrial genetic manipulation, and are possessors of a vast gene pool consisting of many different racial memory banks, also consisting of at least 22 different races.”

Alleged Human ET efforts to promote the unity of humanity through religious spirituality

Alex Collier further claims that constituents of “Human ETs” seek to “ensure that global humanity evolves in a responsible way without endangering both itself and the greater galactic community of which it is part. ” Exopolitics groups and independent contactees also indicate that constituents of “Human ETs” seek to “uplift human consciousness and to promote the unity of religion.”

Alex Colliers alleged contact with ETs suggest that fundamentalist messages in from Christianity to Judaism to Islam, and other institutionalized religions, as well as outright apparent ‘cult’ groups, have been specifically placed by “hostile elements” to manipulate and control humankind.

Jesus, who many groups allege was a “Human ET” sought to inspire the social consciousness of humankind toward unity, and not to create a “Christian religion”, with its sexually repressive as well as homophobic undertones, which also have been used for the execution of racism, and to legitimate atrocities like the ‘slave trade’.

ETs who allegedly contacted Alex Collier, also further allegedly stipulate that Jesus did in fact live; and lived out the rest of his life in Massada; and that Jesus was only crucified through the religious doctrine, and myth-making associated with ‘the palms’.

As far as the “saviour scenario” is concerned, for example, Alex Collier was allegedly told by ETs that it has been put into our belief systems to “disempower us.” The saviour scenario within the dogma of institutionalized religions legitimate the creation of an elite-driven oppressive power structure who appoint themselves as “judgers of morality”. These religious elites have historically used their self-appointed roles to execute a comprehensive system of social controls that complement their joint pursuit of greed-oriented self-aggrandizement with other elites from government to business enterprises.

The alleged efforts of socially progressive Human ETs to inspire the affirmation of the quality-of-living of ‘Earth Humans’ through spiritual and other “emissaries”, have been undermined by the efforts of “capitalists” to exploit such alleged initiatives in the pursuit of an oppressive agenda of greed and fascistic power.

Constituents of Human ETs allegedly seek to “help humanity find freedom from oppressive structures through education and consciousness raising.”

Allegations of “Human ET” encounters on Earth

In Dr. Salla’s article “Extraterrestrials Among Us” published in October 2006, he alleges that, “There is startling evidence from a number of independent sources that ‘human looking’ extraterrestrial visitors have integrated with and lived in major population centres up until recently, and this is known by a select number of institutions.

Aside from whistleblower testimonies, like Sergeant Major Robert Dean, a number of private individuals claim to have encountered extraterrestrials posing as ordinary citizens in major cities around the planet.

George Adamski was the first to write about extraterrestrials secretly living among the human population. In his second non-fiction book describing his extraterrestrial contact experiences, “Inside the Flying Saucers”, Adamski discussed how human looking extraterrestrials had established a presence among the human population. “They apparently looked so much like us”, Dr. Salla notes “that they could get jobs, lived in neighbourhoods, drove cars, and could blend in easily with the human population.”

Dr. Salla further notes that “Adamski wrote about how they contacted him to set up meetings that led to his famous flights aboard extraterrestrial vehicles.” But as Dr. Salla explains “While controversy over Adamski’s contact experiences and his credibility continues, Adamski’s UFO sightings and contacts with extraterrestrials were supported by an impressive collection of witnesses, photographs and films that a number of independent investigators concluded were not hoaxes.”

Dr. Salla additionally stipulates that “Adamski’s testimony offers important insights into how extraterrestrials may be living incognito among the human population. After discussing the Adamski case and the strongest evidence supporting it, Dr. Salla in that article further discusses other contactees similarly claiming to have encountered extraterrestrials acting like ordinary citizens. Finally, Dr. Salla in “Extraterrestrials Among Us” examines the official testimony of a number of whistleblowers concerning knowledge that extraterrestrials live among ordinary Earth-bound individuals.

Contact Testimonies of ‘Extraterrestrials Among Us’

Adamski’s famous “Desert Center” meeting with an extraterrestrial emerging from a ‘scout ship’ on November 20, 1952 was apparently seen by six witnesses who signed affidavits confirming Adamski’s version of events in his subsequent book, The Flying Saucers have Landed (1953). In fact, four of the witnesses immediately reported what had happened to a nearby newspaper, the Phoenix Gazette,that published a story on November 24 featuring photos and sketches. The Desert Center encounter was among those of Adamski’s claims regarding extraterrestrial contact that, according to UFO researcher Timothy Good, were “accurately reported,” and “sensible and verifiable”, as footnotes by Dr. Salla. Given the clear supporting evidence supporting Adamski’s first meeting with an extraterrestrial traveling in a scout craft, it is worth examining closely his alleged subsequent meetings with extraterrestrials living on Earth.

In the first chapter of Inside the Flying Saucers, Dr. Salla re-visits Adamski’s testimony of his meeting with two extraterrestrials while he was sitting in the lobby of a Los Angeles Hotel on February 18, 1953.

“I looked at my wrist watch and saw that it said ten-thirty. The lateness of the hour, with still nothing of extraordinary significance having taken place, sent a wave of disappointment through me. And just at this moment of depression, two men approached, one of whom addressed me by name. Both were complete strangers, but there was no hesitancy in their manner as they came forward, and nothing in their appearance to indicate that they were other than average young businessmen. I noted that both men were well proportioned. One was slightly over six feet and looked to be in his early thirties. His complexion was ruddy, his eyes dark brown, with the kind of sparkle that suggests great enjoyment of life. His gaze was extraordinarily penetrating. His black hair waved and was cut according to our style. He wore a dark brown business suit but no hat. The shorter man looked younger and I judged his height to be about five feet, nine inches. He had a round boyish face, a fair complexion and eyes of grayish blue. His hair, also wavy and worn in our style, was sandy in color. He was dressed in a gray suit and was also hatless. He smiled as he addressed me by name. As I acknowledged the greeting, the speaker extended his hand and when it touched mine a great joy filled me. The signal was the same as had been given by the man I had met on the desert on that memorable November 20, 1952. (Described in the bookFlying Saucers Have Landed).”

Significant in Adamski’s description is how the two extraterrestrials could pass off as businessmen. Aside from a penetrating stare, nothing struck him as unusual in their appearance. Adamski goes on to explain how he went with them in their car to travel to a remote desert location:

“Together we left the lobby, I walking between them. About a block north of the hotel, they turned into a parking lot where they had a car waiting. They had not spoken during this short time, yet inwardly I knew that these men were true friends. I felt no urge to ask where they proposed to take me, nor did it seem odd that they had volunteered no information. An attendant brought the car around, and the younger man slid into the driver’s seat, motioning me to get in beside him. Our other companion also sat with us on the front seat. The car was a four-door black Pontiac sedan. The man who had taken the wheel seemed to know exactly where he was going and drove skillfully. I am not familiar with all the new highways leading out of Los Angeles, so I had no idea in which direction we were headed. We rode in silence and I remained entirely content to wait for my companions to identify themselves and explain the reason for our meeting.”

“What’s significant here is that the two extraterrestrials possessed a car and knew how to navigate on the newly completed Los Angeles highway system. This is no mean feat and suggests that the extraterrestrials had taken the time to learn the road traffic rules and how to navigate through Los Angeles.”

Dr. Salla indicates in “Extraterrestrials Among Us”, that Adamski further reveals:

“Lights and dwellings thinned as we left the outskirts of the city. The taller man spoke for the first time. His voice was soft and pleasant and his English perfect. I had noticed that the younger man also spoke softly, although his voice was pitched higher. I found myself wondering how and where they had learned to speak our language so well.”

“.We are what you on Earth might call ‘Contact men.’ We live and work here, because, as you know, it is necessary on Earth to earn money with which to buy clothing, food, and the many things that people must have. We have lived on your planet now for several years. At first we did have a slight accent. But that has been overcome and, as you can see, we are unrecognized as other than Earth men. “At our work and in our leisure time we mingle with people here on Earth, never betraying the secret that we are inhabitants of other worlds. That would be dangerous, as you well know. We understand you people better than most of you know yourselves and can plainly see the reasons for many of the unhappy conditions that surround you.”

Dr. Salla indicates also that, “This passage [previous] is significant since it describes how the extraterrestrials have spent years living on Earth, learning the language, getting jobs and mixing with the human population. Furthermore, it appears as though extraterrestrials living among the human population may work in pairs, a kind of buddy system that would make sense in terms of ensuring safety and communications with the home world if an emergency ever occurred. If Adamski is accurate in his recollections and the extraterrestrials are telling the truth, then it would appear that there could be a significant number of extraterrestrials who are living incognito among the normal population in many if not most major cities on the planet. Upon examining other contactee cases and the testimonies of whistleblowers, it does appear as though this is indeed the case.”

Exopolitics groups furthermore provide additional representation that Adamski was not the only one of the contactees making representation that extraterrestrials were blending in with the human population. Howard Menger, for example. also claimed to have been contacted by extraterrestrials posing as ordinary human citizens. In one case, the extraterrestrial was posing as a real estate salesperson and asked Menger to accompany him in one of the extraterrestrial vehicle.

In addition to seeking to learn about human values and civilization, it appears that “Human ET” visitors were conducting a low key education effort to promote awareness of their presence to a limited number of individual ‘contactees’.

These “Human extraterrestrial visitors” have been represented has often having as very attractive physical characteristics, with “Human extraterrestrial females” being described as among the most beautiful women that male observers have witnessed.

The “Human extraterrestrials visitors” furthermore have been represented as going to great trouble in learning the indigenous language of the culture they are immersed in, learning how to drive and navigate on highways systems, and taking innocuous jobs over several years.

Extraterrestrials living among us appear to be operating in a manner similar to a “celestial peace corps” where they try to blend in. They presumably wish to learn about Earth culture and behaviour; and to, perhaps, assist in passing on information to selected individuals.

Representation on Earth Humans relative to “non-Earthbound” humans:

Advanced Human ETs as viewing Earth Humans as barbarians and savages which are a threat to themselves

Alex Collier alleges that ET’s revealed to his that there are over 135 other billion human beings in the 8 galaxies closest to ours.

Alex Collier alleges that “The first time I walked on to one of their ships [Human ETs] , a bunch of their children started to run away from me. They knew that I was from Earth.”

“We have a very bad reputation,” Alex Collier indicates, “because we are the only human race in the galaxy that kills itself, that turns on itself. We are the only race [human] that allows itself to live in poverty. We are the only ones who allow members of our race to starve. We are the only ones that allow members of the race to be homeless. We are the only race that would sell itself into slavery. I don’t like the reflection they give me of us. It’s not that they are judging. They just don’t understand why we do it. If anyone’s got an answer for it, I’m open. Yes, we’ve been manipulated by belief systems, but why do we believe these belief systems?”

According to testimony by Alex Collier in associated with alleged ET contacts, Earth Humans “are the only race of human beings which oppresses and kills itself.”

If Human ETs do exist, as scholarly and other representation suggests, the saving of Humanity from its current apparent course of self-destruction, including on-going catastrophic Global Warming, may very well vitally rely on human governance systems placing its greed-driven bigotries aside, toward a constructive dialogue.

JFK wrote to the CIA demanding access to their files about UFOs

JFK wrote to the CIA demanding access to their files about UFOs

Before being killed, John F. Kennedy demanded from the CIA and NASA intel on UFO’s

1917, brookline, massachusetts, john f. kennedy

JOHN F. KENNEDY

Declassified documents have generated suspicions about the motives that led to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As new documents have emerged, some researchers suggest that President Kennedy was killed because he was “too close” to Aliens.

Just ten days before being killed, former President of the United States John F. Kennedy asked the CIA for classified documents about UFO’s, according to the Freedom of Information Act.

Letter from JFK to CIA director asking for access to UFO files, which has been released to an author under the Freedom of Information Act

Letter from JFK to CIA director asking for access to UFO files, which has been released to an author under the Freedom of Information Act

We are talking about two letters written by the former President of the United States.
One of the letters was sent to the director of the CIA while the other one was sent to NASA. In the letters, former President John F. Kennedy asked for the establishment of a “Space cooperation” with the Soviet Union. These letter surfaced thanks to the work of writer William Lester, as he was gathering information for a book about the life of John F. Kennedy.

‘One of his concerns was that a lot of these UFOs were being seen over the Soviet Union and he was very concerned that the Soviets might misinterpret these UFOs as U.S. aggression, believing that it was some of our technology,’ Mr Lester told AOL News.
‘I think this is one of the reasons why he wanted to get his hands on this information and get it away from the jurisdiction of NASA so he could say to the Soviets, “Look, that’s not us, we’re not doing it, we’re not being provocative. “.’

A second memo written by JFK on November 12 1963, 10 days before his assassination, which has been released by the CIA

A second memo written by JFK on November 12 1963, 10 days before his assassination, which has been released by the CIA

The information provided here puts back on the table sensitive documents regarding the CIA. The documents that were saved from being destroyed, are one of the most interesting files ufologists have got their hand on.

In the ‘burned memo’ the CIA director allegedly wrote: ‘Lancer [JFK] has made some inquiries regarding our activities, which we cannot allow’

The current owner of the ‘burned memo’, who bought it from Timothy Cooper in 2001 told AOL News that it shows that when JFK asked questions about UFOs that the CIA ‘bumped him off’.
Robert Wood, former director of one of the largest aircraft contractors of the US government, claims to have had access to this memo in the past, saying that it would have been part of the Majestic-12 documents.

The Majestic 12 (or MJ-12) is the code name of an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed in 1947 by an executive order by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to facilitate recovery and investigation of alien spacecraft. According to the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations, no such committee had ever been authorized or formed, and that the documents were “bogus.” The FBI subsequently declared the MJ-12 documents to be “completely bogus

UFO investigator Robert Wood tested the paper on which the memo was printed on, the ink age, watermarks, font types and other markings.

SETI scientist claims: If Aliens did visit us, they’d take control over everything

SETI scientist claims: If Aliens did visit us, they’d take control over everything

One thing is sure… if aliens came to Earth, we surely wouldn’t have the upper hand say scientists, who agree that an Alien species with such advanced technology could prove to be difficult to contain.


Are we ready for contact?

Are we ready for contact?


But are we ready to greet our cosmic neighbors? Not as different nations but as ONE species from planet Earth?

Many people believe that intelligent extraterrestrial beings are out there somewhere, and many firmly state that, the time when we actually meet them, we might be in for a surprise as it might not end up like in the famous movie E.T.

Jill Tarter, astronomer, and co-founder of the SETI Institute said that if aliens visit our planet, they could take control of everything thanks to their clearly superior technology. However, Tarter added that aliens capable of finding Earth may be co-operative…

“If they showed up on our doorstep, that means they have technologies that are considerably advanced with respect to ours.” “And because of that, they’re going to be the ones that set the rules,” Tarter said in an article published by TechCrunch.

However, she adds that an Alien civilizations capable of developing such sophisticated technology, which enables them to overcome the obstacle of vast interstellar distances. Would probably make them more benevolent than hostile, since by then they would have learned to behave peacefully in order to prevent their own annihilation.

This neutral-benevolent attitude of extraterrestrial visitors has already been proposed by scientists in different countries based on thorough analysis of extensive historical and modern documents.

SETI’s project ‘search for extraterrestrial intelligence’, currently continues its search for radio waves and optical signals in the universe that can indicate the presence of other civilizations. In this regard, in an exercise of sincerity, Dr. Tarter admitted: “Perhaps we have not yet invented the correct way to do this.”

Or perhaps we have to continue searching. Talking about Alien life and why we haven’t found it yet, Tarter explained: „if you set the search space equal to the size of the Earth’s oceans, we’ve only examined one glass of water from those oceans for intelligent life. We’ve only looked at one small part of a very large picture.“

Along the same lines, Dr. Nathalie Cabrol, a colleague of Tarter, said in September last year that an alien civilization might be trying to contact us, but humans could be “too primitive to see those signs.”


And as the great Carl Sagan once said… “The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” ― Carl Sagan in Contact


But many other scientists have spoken out about the possible presence of Alien beings in the cosmos and their benevolent or hostile reactions when arriving at Earth.

One of the most famous quotes in modern times in regards to Alien visitations to Earth comes from the Great Professor Stephen Hawking who said that when Aliens arrive at earth, the outcome could be very similar to when Christopher Columbus et foot in the New World.

“If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.” – Stephen Hawking

An interesting statement was made last year when Astronaut John Grunsfeld spoke out about aliens suggesting that if extraterrestrial beings are out there, they already know we exist.

‘We put atmospheric signatures that guarantee someone with a large telescope 20 light years away could detect us,’ said Grunsfeld at the Astrobiology Science Conference in Chicago.

‘If there is life out there, intelligent life, they’ll know we’re here.’

5 Ancient Civilizations that vanished under mysterious circumstances

5 Ancient Civilizations that vanished under mysterious circumstances

The definition of ‘civilization’ on planet Earth is a very relative term today. Looking back as far as we can go in recorded history, we will understand that before our advanced society, many others existed on Earth.


Traces of these lost civilizations can be found in ancient texts, legends, and myths while others have left behind great monuments and temples, that speak out to the world ‘we were once here’.

But just why did great civilizations abandon their mighty cities? Where trade, agriculture, and society were very well defined? Regrettably these are just some of the questions that history cannot offer an answer to.

Here we have our list of great ancient civilizations whose mysterious disappearance remains a profound mystery.

1. The Indus Valley Civilization

Indus Valley Civilization

One of the greatest ancient civilizations to disappear is without a doubt the Indus Valley Civilization or the Harappan civilizations. In the distant past, this great civilization had a total population over 5 million people, spreading across a region encompassed by today’s India, Pakistan Afghanistan and Iran.  The Great Indus Valley civilizations were without a doubt, one of the most sophisticated on Earth with elaborate roadside drainage, massive multistory houses, and incredible monuments that speak of the might of this great ancient civilization that mysteriously vanished from the face of our planet. Many researchers believe that drastic changes in weather caused this ancient civilization to break apart until eventually their cities were abandoned due to lack of food and supplies.

 2. The Easter Island Civilization

Another great example of an ancient ‘lost’ civilizations is that of the people of Easter Island. Well-known for their enormous stone statues of human heads referred to today as the Moai statues, these giant figures are lined up along the island coastline, standing tall and proud, watching over the horizon. Just like many other ancient civilizations, the people of Easter Island were extremely skilled builders, but for an unknown reason, they do disappeared from Earth. After centuries of monument building and social development, researchers believe that the people of Easter Island moved to another place after using up all of the Islands resources.

3. The Ancient Maya

The Ancient Maya civilization was without a doubt one of the best-known ancient civilizations to inhabit our planet.

The most widely accepted theory, as of 2010, is that the first Maya settlements were established around 1800 BCE in the Soconusco region of the Pacific Coast; corresponding to the Early Preclassic period. According to scholars, the most distinctive Maya achievements were in abstract mathematics and astronomy. Interestingly, the ancient Maya were one of the earliest ancient civilization to use the number ZERO.

There are two theories regarding the origin of the Maya that have been developed in the archeological community: Either the Maya came into existence and developed independently, or they developed directly from an older “mother culture” known as the Olmec culture.

The reason why the ancient Maya collapsed is still debatable, several theories have been proposed but scholars worldwide have a difficult time defining what exactly caused this great civilization to collapse. Most scholars seem to agree that a drought was the main reason the ancient Maya civilization collapsed, but deforestation, famine, and warfare are also possibilities that cannot be overruled at present.

4. Göbekli Tepe

Gobekli tepe2

Göbekli Tepe is a Neolithic sanctuary located 2500 feet above sea level at the top of a mountain ridge in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, some 15 kilometers (9 mi) northeast of the town of Şanlıurfa. The megalithic stone circles are believed to be the oldest temple ever created on our planet and predate Stonehenge in England by several thousand years. Researchers believe that t these ancient megalithic ruins were created by  hunter-gatherer society, something that is being ruled out by more archeologists lately. The mysterious temple, which consists of three huge stone circles was deliberately buried for an unknown reason in the distant past. However, Göbekli Tepe raises more questions than answers. What or who did the ancient builders worship at Göbekli Tepe? What was their true origin? And what was their true age? Today, Göbekli Tepe remains as one of the most mysterious sites on Earth, and we have no idea why this incredible, sophisticated temple was abandoned, and why it was buried…

5. Ancient Olmec civilization

olmecas-cabeza-31

The Olmecs were a very advanced civilization that predates the Ancient Maya and Aztec empires. Their knowledge of geology allowed this mysterious ancient civilization to literally “terraform” certain regions. The San Lorenzo plateau is one of those examples. It is considered one of the most important architectural projects in ancient times.

The great Olmec civilization is mainly noted for their giant heads, which have become a giant mystery ever since their discovery. To date, researchers have not been able to understand how the ancient Olmecs managed to create these giant heads and what was their exact use.

Just like the Aztecs and the Maya, among other freat ancient civilizations, the ancient Olmecs disappeared into the mists of history. At the beginning of the Christian era and for no apparent reason, it is believed that the Olmecs gradually abandoned their sites. The people who settled into the Olmec sites acted in a vengeful spirit, tearing down the Olmec sculptures.

NASA’s Curiosity rover takes image of Alien sphere on Mars

NASA’s Curiosity rover takes image of Alien sphere on Mars

Is is possible that this time, NASA’s very own “Alien” rovers captured on image a sphere, belonging to another civilization? According to the latest images beamed back to Earth it is quite possible.

The object in question is a sphere which seems to be “levitating” off the Martian ground according to ufologists.

According to NASA the image was taken on April 10, 2015 by the rover’s Mast Camera (Mastcam), during the 952nd Martian day, or sol. NASA altered the image, according to NASA’s website, “The color has been approximately white-balanced to resemble how the scene would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth.”

This image where the “mysterious Alien sphere” is visible, was taken near mount Sharp.

So what is this mysterious object? Is it possible that this isnt a sphere at all? Is it possible that what we are seeing here is a game of lights, making us believe that this sphere-shaped object is levitating above the ground? Experts in image editing suggest just that. They believe we are seeing a game of shadows created on the red planet. Experts believe that we are seeing two different rocks in the image. The position of these two rocks makes it look as if one “spherical” object is floating while it’s not. That’s the view for experts. Ufologists on the other hand, suggest that we are actually seeing a levitating object in the image. Experts in the field of ufology state that It is not the first time that a discovery like this has been made on the Red Planet. We have seen dozens if not hundreds of images where mysterious unexplained things are seen. Some of these objects defy logic, they cannot be explained rationally as much as skeptics want to debunk them.

Image of the surrounding scenery and the object in question visible at the center of the image

But just how likely is it that there are Alien “spheres” on the red planet? We have seen several images where mysterious objects are seen in the Martian sky, and while experts and scientists suggest that these objects, seen in the red planet’s sky are just image deformations and dead pixels, Ufologists suggest that these are alien crafts observing our rovers and spacecraft on Mars. If these UFO’s and Spheres do exist on the Red planet… what is their purpose? Where did they originate from? And is it possible that somehow, there is life on the red planet, life that has been present on Mars all the time, right under our nose.

Many researchers believe that there is life on the Red Planet and they stress that we have to look underground, and not on the surface.

So which theory is more likely to be true? What are your thoughts about yet another mysterious image beamed back to Earth by NASA’s Curiosity rover. Is this truly an alien sphere or have we been fooled by lights and shadows on Mars?

For all of those interested, here is the link to the RAW image by NASA.

Elon Musk: Private Space Entrepreneur

Elon Musk: Private Space Entrepreneur

Elon Musk is an entrepreneur best known in space circles for Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), which became the first private company to ship cargo to the International Space Station in 2012.

A long-time advocate of Mars exploration, Musk has publicly talked about ventures such as building a greenhouse on the Red Planet and more ambitiously, establishing a Mars colony. He also is rethinking transportation concepts through ideas such as the Hyperloop, a proposed high-speed system that would run between major cities.

The South African-born businessman describes himself as "an engineer and entrepreneur who builds and operates companies to solve environmental, social and economic challenges."

Besides his work at SpaceX, Musk is the founder of electric car company Tesla Motors, and is the chair of a solar energy designer/installer called SolarCity.

Musk grew up in South Africa and earned degrees in physics and business from the University of Pennsylvania. His first venture after school was Zip2 Corp., an Internet company that provided software and services for businesses.

"Things were pretty tough in the early going. I didn't have any money — in fact I had negative money [because] I had huge student debts," Musk recalled in a 2003 Stanford lecture.

He showered at a local YMCA and lived in his office, managing to keep expenses very low despite his low revenue stream. "So when we went to VCs [venture capitalists], we could say we had positive cash flow," he said.

After Compaq bought Zip2 for more than $300 million in 1999, Musk turned his attention to online bill payments. That company, later known as PayPal, sold to eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002.

Musk now had a small fortune in hand, and at the tender age of 30 was looking to put his energies into something new. He began SpaceX in 2002 with ambitious plans to launch a viable, privately funded space company. In the face of naysayers, he doubled down and worked on a business plan.

Musk has repeatedly said that humans must be an interplanetary species to combat the threat of asteroids, and potential human catastrophes such as nuclear war or engineered viruses.

What is blocking us from doing that, Musk wrote in a 2008 Esquire piece, is "the ridiculously recalcitrant problem of big, reusable reliable rockets."

"Somehow we have to ... reduce the cost of human spaceflight by a factor of 100," he added. "That's why I started SpaceX. By no means did I think victory was certain. On the contrary, I thought the chances of success were tiny, but that the goal was important enough to try anyway."

This problem has been one of the themes of Musk's work since starting SpaceX. The first successful rocket the company flew, the Falcon 1, took four tries to get off the ground before a successful test flight in September 2008. 

Musk funded SpaceX through his own money at first, and then gained enough experience to attract millions of dollars for NASA to develop his rockets and spacecraft, and to bring cargo to the ISS. He has also received launch contracts from entities such as the U.S. Air Force. [Infographic: How SpaceX's Dragon Space Capsule Works]

The company's track record was a factor in NASA awarding it money to develop the Dragon spacecraft for cargo runs to the International Space Station. Dragon won multiple rounds of funding under NASA's Commercial Crew program and made a world-first docking with the International Space Station in 2012. It is now sending regular shipments of cargo to the station.

SpaceX is now developing a human-rated version of Dragon that is expected to bring astronauts to the orbiting complex around 2018. Like its cargo counterpart, the human-rated Dragon spacecraft received money from NASA for development and is now one of two spacecraft types (along with Boeing's CST-100) in the final stages of funding for human certification.

Dragon is hefted using a heavier rocket called the Falcon 9. Since 2014, SpaceX has attempted to re-use the first stage of the rocket by landing it in various situations. To date, SpaceX has successfully achieved ocean and land-based soft landings of the Falcon 9's first stage. It is also trying to do a pinpoint landing on an automated ocean barge. All attempts so far have been unsuccessful, but the company says it's close; a landing in January 2016 failed because a landing leg strut didn't deploy.

Musk has often said that around 2002, he looked up the schedule for when NASA was supposed to send astronauts there, and was shocked to see there was no timeline. (Today, NASA says it hopes to land astronauts there in the 2030s). That's when, he told Wired, he came up with an idea to do a simple Mars mission "to spur the national will."

"The idea was to send a small greenhouse to the surface of Mars, packed with dehydrated nutrient gel that could be hydrated on landing. You’d wind up with this great photograph of green plants and red background — the first life on Mars, as far as we know, and the farthest that life’s ever traveled," he said.

"It would be a great money shot, plus you’d get a lot of engineering data about what it takes to maintain a little greenhouse and keep plants alive on Mars."

He eventually turned aside from the idea due to financial concerns, but in 2012 he sketched out plans to establish a Mars colony, along with other entities, with 80,000 people living on the Red Planet. (Musk later tweeted he meant to say 80,000 making the journey per year.)

The settlers would live off the land as much as possible, using equipment to generate methane, fertilizer and oxygen from Mars' atmosphere and subsurface water ice. They would arrive using a fully reusable rocket that will be a next generation to the Falcon 9 booster.

Still, the cost for such an ambitious plan would be around $36 billion, Musk told Space.com in 2012.

"Some money has to be spent on establishing a base on Mars. It’s about getting the basic fundamentals in place," Musk said.

"That was true of the English colonies [in the Americas]; it took a significant expense to get things started. But once there are regular Mars flights, you can get the cost down to half a million dollars for someone to move to Mars. Then I think there are enough people who would buy that to have it be a reasonable business case.

Des choux-fleurs sur Mars

Des choux-fleurs sur Mars

Des structures en silice en forme de choux-fleurs observées par le rover Spirit en 2008 et en 2009 autour du site Home Plate, où il demeure bloqué, pourraient avoir été formées par des microbes, ont suggéré deux chercheurs dans leurs travaux présentés en janvier à l’AGU. La ressemblance avec des « expressions nodulaires » trouvées dans le désert de l’Atacama, où les conditions climatiques et géologiques présentent des traits communs avec Mars, est troublante. Toutefois, pour les scientifiques, la prudence s’impose.

Les 4 et 25 janvier dernier, la Nasa fêtait respectivement le douzième anniversaire de l’atterrissage de Spirit et Opportunity, dont la mission initiale (Mars Exploration Rover) devait durer trois mois. Aujourd’hui, le second est en bonne forme et roule toujours, explorant actuellement la vallée de Marathon qui incise le cratère Endeavour alors que le premier, à plusieurs milliers de kilomètres de là, s’est hélas immobilisé en mars 2010, après plus de six ans d’enquête, au pied du site Home plate, nommé ainsi en référence au marbre dans le baseball (voir sa position ici).

Début janvier, à l’occasion des rencontres de l’AGU, l’Union de géophysique américaine, Steven Ruff et son collègue Jack Farmer de l’université d’Arizona, ont présenté leurs recherches et réflexions portant sur des petites structures de silices en forme de choux-fleurs, approchées par Spirit en 2008 et en 2009, au sein du milieu où il séjourne. Selon eux, elles pourraient avoir été façonnées par une activité microbienne à l’image de ce qui est observé dans certains endroits surTerre.

Champ de choux-fleurs dans le désert d’Atacama

Le cratère Gusev (environ 166 kilomètres de diamètre) où a débarqué l’astromobile en 2004 fut sélectionné pour les signes tangibles, détectés par l’orbiteur MGS (Mars Global Surveyor), que de l’eau y fut présente dans un passé lointain (un probable ancien lac). Sur place, le rover a par la suite témoigné par ses relevés et analyses que l’environnement autour d’Home Plate et la structure elle-même, sont le produit d’une ancienne activité hydrothermale d’origine volcanique, « c’est même l’unique exemple attesté sur Mars », soulignent les auteurs de ces recherches, interrogés par Smithsonian.com.

Pour expliquer la formation de ces « expressions nodulaires » et de leurs minuscules «protrusions digitées », ensemble qui évoque des choux-fleurs, les hypothèses géochimiques proposées dans un premier temps n’ont pas convaincu Ruff et Farmer. Frappés par les ressemblances avec des structures qu’ils ont étudiées sur Terre, dans des milieux inhospitaliers, les deux planétologues avancent l’idée que ceux de Mars ont pu naître par les mêmes procédés.

« […] De nouvelles observations de dépôts de silice produits par de petits canaux d’évacuation de sources chaudes et de geysers dans un champ géothermique en haute altitude connu sous le nom d’El Tatio, dans le désert de l’Atacama au nord du Chili, révèlent des caractéristiques remarquablement similaires, y compris la signature spectrale infrarouge, et que nous décrivons ici comme structures de silice micro-digitées ». Pour eux, ces structures, également remarquées dans des sources chaudes du parc national de Yellowstone, la région volcanique de Taupo en Nouvelle-Zélande et l’Islande, « apparaissent via une médiation microbienne de la précipitation de la silice, des sortes de microstomatolites qui fournissent un environnement favorable pour la capture et la conservation de biosignatures microbiennes ».

Il faut retourner voir sur place

Avec des températures qui peuvent descendre jusqu’à -25 °C (et grimper jusqu’à +45 °C), une humidité très basse (il pleut moins de 100 millimètres par an) et où, à environ 4.000 mètres d’altitude, l’atmosphère laisse passer davantage d’ultraviolets, le désert de l’Atacama apparaît aux yeux des scientifiques comme l’un des milieux terrestres les plus ressemblants avec la Planète rouge, qui aujourd’hui arbore des conditions hostiles à la vie. Il y a plus de 80 geysers dans la région d’El Tatio et, comme l’indiquent les chercheurs, il n’y a peut-être pas beaucoup d’animaux « mais la vie microbienne y prospère ». Aussi, puisque cela est possible dans ces conditions, on peut légitimement se demander si cela n’a pas été le cas sur la Planète rouge.

La prudence s’impose bien sûr. Des processus non biologiques peuvent en effet être impliqués dans la formation de structures complexes qui s’en approchent. Pour en savoir plus et avant de clamer que des traces de vie anciennes ont été découvertes sur Mars, le mieux serait bien sûr d’y retourner et de rapporter des échantillons dans les laboratoires terrestres.

Cela pourrait devenir possible avec la future mission Mars 2020 Rover, dédiée à la recherche de la vie – la première depuis Viking 1 et 2 –, car le cratère Gusev figure justement sur la liste des sites sélectionnés par la Nasa pour son débarquement.

À découvrir en vidéo autour de ce sujet :


Prévu pour 2016, le premier lancement du programme ExoMars approche. Cette mission, parmi les plus ambitieuses jamais entreprises sur la planète aura pour but de rechercher des traces de vies passées ou présentes sur Mars. L'Esa nous offre en vidéo un avant-goût de cette mission qui s’avère passionnante.

THESE EXCERPTS FROM NASA'S APOLLO MISSION TRANSCRIPTS POINT TO EVIDENCE OF ALIEN LIFE

THESE EXCERPTS FROM NASA'S APOLLO MISSION TRANSCRIPTS POINT TO EVIDENCE OF ALIEN LIFE

When Americans first landed on the moon back in 1969 (if they did at all), it inspired a wave of excitement about space travel. 
 
Many believed that this excitement would lead to settlements on the moon, which would make mankind an interplanetary species. 
 
Sadly, that never happened. 
 
Could that be because the first men on the moon weren't alone up there? 
 
It sounds like an outlandish claim, but judging by these NASA transcripts from the Apollo missions, there might be some truth to it. 
 
 
Here's an excerpt from that mission: 
 
03 16 44 39 LMP: There’s a strange light down there. 
 
03 16 h4 45 CDR: Is it a bonfire? 
 
03 16 24 47 LMP: It might be campfires. 
 
03 16 h5 03 C5: How does it look? 
 
 
This one is especially scary. 
 
03 08 20 18 IRP: That’s a spectacular crater. 
 
03 08 20 23 CDR: Did you shoot some pictures while you were over there? 
 
03 08 20 25 CMP: No, it’s just going by. We’d better get it later. There will be better times.
 
 03 08 20 42 CMP: Boy, there must be nothing more desolate than to be inside some of these craters, these conical ones.
 
 03 08 20 50 CDR: People that live in there probably never get out.
 
 
Some weird stuff was happening on the Apollo 10 mission. 
 
04 06 13 02 LMP: That music even sounds outer-spacy, doesn’t it? You hear that? That whistling sound? 
 
04 06 13 06 CDR: Yes. 
 
04 06 13 12 CMP: Did you hear that whistling sound, too? 
 
04 06 13 14 LMP: Yes. Sounds like – you know, outer-space-type music. 
 
04 06 13 18 CMP: I wonder what it is. 
 
04 12 09 16 CDR: What the hell was that gurgling noise? 
 
04 12 09 25 LMP: I don’t know. But I’ll tell you, that eerie music is what’s bothering me. 
 
04 12 09 28 CMP: God damn, I heard it, too. 
 
04 12 09 29 LMP: You know that was funny. That’s just like something from outer space, really. Who’s going to believe it? 
 
04 12 09 34 CMP: Nobody. Shall we tell them about it? 
 
04 12 09 39 LMP: I don’t know. We ought to think about it some. 
 
04 12 09 41 CMP: Did you hear it, Tom? 
 
04 12 09 42 LMF: Yes, he heard it.
 
 04 12 09 43 CDR: Yes. 
 
04 12 09 47 LMP: Hell, I just want to get out of this suit. 
 
 
And what they said during this conversation is more than a little bit freaky.
 
 03 12 22 39 I2_P: Really an interesting one, huh? Got a rugged one right out here with the central peaks. 
 
03 12 23 05: Sure does. Really got a very complex central structure.
 
 03 12 23 08 CR: It’s got one of the biggest central peaks. It’s a very unusual crater. But there are some dark areas in it and Farouk has gone on record saying that they are dikes. 
 
03 12 23 37 CMl: That’s one right down there. Just shows how it dominates the whole photograph. Just an extremely bright crater. Sun angle just isn’t high enough for you to see it here …. Yes, they’re mining it, I think.

A loud blast was heard near a water tank shortly after midnight on the Bharathidasan Engineering College premises in K.Bandarappalli village. Kamaraj, a college employee, who had gone to drink water suffered serious injuries and was declared dead when taken to the Vaniyambadi Government Hospital. Three others suffered minor injuries. a top police official told The Hindu.

After a similar blast was reported in a paddy field at Alangayam in the same district on January 26, a senior Astrophysicist of the National Physical Laboratory, Ahmedabad, came to the district for a study. In the earlier incident, local people remember having seen an object falling from the sky in the field,” the official said.

Pluto heeft 'drijvende heuvels' - HLN.be

Pluto heeft 'drijvende heuvels' - HLN.be

Ruimtevaartorganisatie heeft donderdag een foto gepubliceerd van wat volgens hen de "drijvende heuvels" van Pluto zijn. De foto werden genomen door het New Horizons ruimtetuig tijdens zijn vlucht in 2015.

De heuvels liggen in een omvangrijke ijsvlakte. NASA gaat ervan uit dat die ijsformaties kilometerslang zijn. De wetenschappers vermoeden dat de mysterieuze drijvende heuvels bestaan uit waterijs en vergelijkbaar zijn met reusachtige gletsjers. 

Aangezien waterijs lichter is dan stikstofijs, drijven de heuvels boven een zee van stikstof. De beweging van de gigantische klompen waterijs is vergelijkbaar met ijsbergen die drijven in onze Arctische Oceaan. Mogelijk zijn de heuvels afgebroken van de ruige hooglanden en schuiven ze richting het Sputnik Planum. 

Vorige maand maakte NASA al bekend dat de dwergplaneet bedekt is met meer water dan ijs dan het Amerikaanse ruimteagentschap aanvankelijk verwachtte. 

Pluto heeft een bijzonder fascinerende geografie: de planeet herbergt niet alleen drijvende ijsheuvels, maar mogelijk ook ijsvulkanen.

Experts: “Video van mysterieuze lichten die in formatie over Rusland vliegen is authentiek”

Experts: "Video van mysterieuze lichten die in formatie over Rusland vliegen is authentiek"

Experts: “Video van mysterieuze lichten die in formatie over Rusland vliegen is authentiek”

Beelden van een groepje UFO’s die in formatie over Moskou vliegen, zijn door experts authentiek verklaard. Dat meldt nieuwssite News.com.au.

In het filmpje, dat eind vorige maand is gemaakt in de Russische hoofdstad, zijn vier ongeïdentificeerde lichten te zien die door de lucht bewegen. De objecten lijken zich met hoge snelheid voort te bewegen en blijven dan in formatie in de lucht hangen.

De beelden zijn inmiddels bekeken door vele duizenden mensen. De man die het gebeuren heeft vastgelegd, ene Timur, legde uit: “Er waren vier lichtbollen. Een rode aan de linkerkant, twee witte in het midden en een minder felle aan de rechterkant.”

Ruitvormige formatie

Hij voegde toe: “Soms verdween de rechter een tijdje, om daarna weer tevoorschijn te komen. Ze vlogen in een ruitvormige formatie.”

Volgens critici gaat het mogelijk om reflecties van lichten op de grond. Timur is het niet met hen eens: “Ik woon hier al twee jaar en heb nog nooit zoiets gezien.”

Authentiek

De Russische UFO-expert Vadim Tsjernobrov heeft nu bevestigd dat de beelden authentiek zijn, meldt de site. “De lichten kunnen niet worden verklaard als atmosferisch of kosmisch fenomeen,” legde hij uit. “Het is ook onmogelijk dat het een soort luchtspiegeling is, vanwege de geometrische vorm die de objecten aannemen.”

Tsjernobrov voegde toe: “Sommigen hebben gezegd dat ze op Thaise ballonnen lijken, maar gezien de bewegingen en snelheid van de objecten wil ik die mogelijkheid ook uitsluiten.”

Date of sighting: Feb 2016
Location of sighting: Earths Orbit

This object is clearly made by intelligent beings. The big question is, is it ours or theirs? Meaning is it a top secret project? Its possible this is the ancient satellite called Dark Knight that has orbited Earth for thousands of years. We really have to wait till Feb 20 to see the results of the radar images. If it belongs to the US, then it makes sense that NASA gave the space station away to Russia to control.

BPEarthWatch States:

These images were taken by the 230-foot (70-meter) Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, Calif. Each of the 72 frames required 320 seconds of data collection by the Goldstone radar. The observations were made as the object was moving away from Earth. The object's distance from the radar dish increased from 74,000 miles (120,000 kilometers) to 195,000 miles (314,000 kilometers). The resolution is 13 feet (four meters) per pixel. The images span close to eight hours and clearly show an elongated object undergoing roughly one full rotation. The images suggest that the object has a long axis of about 130 feet (40 meters). The radar observations were led by scientists Lance Benner and Marina Brozovic of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Additional Goldstone radar observations are scheduled on February 18, 19 and 20.

Location of sighting: Kemerovo, Russia
News source: 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3431430/UFO-slow-meteorite-spotted-sky-Kemerovo-Russia.html

As you can see in the video below, this UFO is to slow to be  a meteor. It looks like a falling jet on fire, but no reports of lost aircraft were made. If this is not a UFO, then it has to be space junk, probably a spy satellite that governments want to hide from other governments, because it loaded with secrets.

News states:

A video shot in Russia has got UFO watchers excited after some claimed it was an alien vehicle plunging into the earth. The video was shot by Russian man Mikhail Litvinov who said he spotted the device leaving a huge plume of gas behind it as it plunged to earth on the outskirts of the central Russian city of Kemerovo. It quickly attracted thousands of views as people debated what it could be, with many pointing out it was too slow to be a meteorite, but producing too much of a gas trail to be an aeroplane. The gas is off-white in colour at the tail end but becomes blacker closer to the object. Speaking to Russian news site Komsomolskaya, Linvinov said: 'From my side I hope it was a shooting star.' Journalists from Russian news site Bloknot contacted Russian airborne forces who said that there were no registered incidents in the skies over Kemerovo at the time involving either crashed craft or meteorites. One online commentator said: 'It was going down so fast I reckon it was a Russian Rouble.' While another observed: 'It is certainly too slow to be a meteorite implying it is mechanical in origin.' One supposed expert pointed out that it was a 'cigar' UFO due to its long thin shape. These are apparently less widely known than 'saucers'. The first well-known UFO sighting occurred in 1947, when businessman Kenneth Arnold claimed to see a group of nine high-speed objects near Mount Rainier in Washington while flying his small plane. Arnold estimated the speed of the crescent-shaped objects as several thousand miles per hour and said they moved 'like saucers skipping on water.' This is how the term flying saucer was coined as, in the newspaper report that followed, it was mistakenly stated that the objects were saucer-shaped.

The Dreamy Draw Dam UFO Crash Incident

The Dreamy Draw Dam UFO Crash Incident

ufo-crash


PHOENIX (KSAZ) – In 1947, the valley had become controversial with the reports of a UFO crash at the base of Piestewa Peak, called Squaw Peak Mountain at that time. Many have concluded that the government had undertaken all the necessary measures to hide all evidence of the crash.

One version of the story is outlined in Frank Scully’s book “Behind the Flying Saucers,” (Amazon link) written in 1950. Scully wrote in the book that an alien space saucer crashed in the valley in October 1947. It allegedly bounced, skipped, and landed several miles away in Cave Creek or Paradise Valley.

Another story of the incident was that remains of aliens were recovered, and the U.S. government hauled them away. Dreamy Draw Dam was then apparently constructed over the site to cover the truth of an alien crash.

Open Minds Radio host, Alejandro Rojas, said that he tried to investigate the incident at Dreamy Draw, and all he could find were rumors about the UFO crash. He was able to find one witness who claimed to have spotted something strange either in Dreamy Draw, Paradise Valley, or Cave Creek. Unfortunately, the witness died before Rojas was able to talk to the witness directly.

Rojas, a UFO researcher and journalist, acknowledges that there are several holes in the Dreamy Draw Dam UFO story. The witness apparently has morally offensive character with little credibility. Moreover, Rojas points out that the UFO crash event happened in 1947 while the dam, which was apparently built to hide the crash site, was constructed in 1973 for flood control purposes.

On July 7, 1947, few months before the incident, William Rhodes of Phoenix had taken a UFO picture that was considered as one of the first and one of the best UFO photos ever taken. Rhodes claimed that government agents visited him after the photo was published in the Arizona paper.

According to Rhodes, the agents borrowed the negative and promised to bring it back to him after they made a copy of it. However, the borrowers allegedly had never returned the negatives to him.

Are the two claims a coincidence or stories of real extraterrestrial visitations? Rojas says that when rumors and stories continue to exist for many years, there’s likely a shred of truth on them and finding the truth is likely to persist as well.

Chemitrail-wolken vallen vallen op de grond ( UPDATE + VIDEO )

Chemitrail-wolken vallen vallen op de grond ( UPDATE + VIDEO )

ctw.jpg

Het zijn vreemde tijden, maar wat een aantal mensen in Marokko enkele dagen geleden meemaakten, grenst aan het ongelofelijke. 

Complete, onnatuurlijke wolken die uit de lucht op de grond vallen. 


Update vandaag 07 februari:

Al snel volgden mogelijke verklaringen van lezers (dank!) op onderstaande artikel van vandaag. Het fenomeen dat men zeeschuim noemt, zou kunnen zijn wat we hier in Marokko zien:

Dit lijkt erg veel op Zeeschuim.

Waar komt dit schuim vandaan? In de zee leven microscopische kleine plantjes(algen). Een moeilijke naam voor deze plantjes is fytoplankton. Phuthon betekent 'plant' in het Grieks en plankton komt van het Griekse 'plagktos' wat 'dwalend' betekent. Fytoplankton is dus het geheel van microscopische kleine plantjes die in de zee drijven. Eén van de vele algenfamilies is Phaeocystis of schuimalg. In het late voorjaar is er al veel zonlicht, voldoende voedsel en heeft het water al een zachte temperatuur. Dit zijn ideale omstandigheden voor deze plantjes om zich razendsnel te vermenigvuldigen. Het water kleurt dan letterlijk groen, rood of bruin afhankelijk van de algensoort. We zeggen dan: 'De bloei zit in het water.' Deze microscopische kleine plantjes vormen kolonies. Dit zijn grote hoeveelheden die bij elkaar samenklitten. Ze hechten zich in een laag gelatine. Wanneer deze kolonies afsterven, wordt de gelatine door de golven tot schuim opgeklopt. De wind en de stroming voeren dat schuim naar het strand.


Origineel artikel vandaag:

De volgende bizarre gebeurtenis vond plaats in de Marokkaanse regio Doukkala. 

Ook wij zien bij ons wel eens wolken aan de grond vormen. Dit komt dan soms bijvoorbeeld voor in de vorm van ochtendmist die laag op de grond hangt en die dan vervolgens optrekt wanneer de zon voldoende kracht heeft.

Wat is een wolk eigenlijk:

"Een wolk is een zichtbare verzameling wolkenelementen – al dan niet onderkoelde waterdruppeltjes of ijskristalletjes – in de atmosfeer op enige hoogte van het aardoppervlak.

Waterwolken ontstaan doordat waterdamp in verzadigde lucht condenseert rondcondensatiekernen. Waterdamp kan ook verrijpen tot ijskristalletjes om zo ijswolken te vormen. In gemengde wolken komen zowel waterdruppeltjes als ijskristallen voor."

Maar, dat alles is niet van toepassing op wat er in Marokko te zien was. 

Wat hier uit de lucht valt, zijn allesbehalve natuurlijke wolken, maar een soort chemische pakketten, een soort badbubbels, die waarschijnlijk te zwaar zijn geworden om in de lucht te kunnen blijven hangen. 

Ongetwijfeld zullen meteorologen wel weer met een verhaal komen over wat voor soort wolken dit precies zijn (cumulusavon oftewel zeepstapelwolk?), maar voor ons is het duidelijk dat we hier te maken hebben met chemische substanties zoals die dagelijks boven onze hoofden worden uitgestrooid. 

Waar het op lijkt is een heterdaad waarbij je nog maar eens duidelijk bewijs ziet dat chemtrails met ongezonde stoffenerin absoluut geen fabeltje zijn.

The Cash-Landrum Incident: Was a Nuclear Aircraft Involved?

The Cash-Landrum Incident: Was a Nuclear Aircraft Involved?

Of all the best-known and often reviewed UFO cases of the last few decades, many would contend that one of the most puzzling had been the Cash-Landrum incident, which occurred near Dayton, Texas on 29 December, 1980.

The story, well known in UFO circles, involved two women: Betty Cash and Vicky Landrum, as well as Vicky’s grandson Colby, all of whom purportedly observed an unusual, very bright source of illumination over a country road on the night in question. After seemingly hovering above the highway for several minutes, the strange object was surrounded by a group of helicopters in tight formation, and removed from the area, according to the witnesses.

Among those seeking to understand the incident, and what the evidence (little though we have) actually entails, researcher Curt Collins has examined the witness testimony in-depth, covering everything from the later developments and health problems reported by the witnesses, to the earliest statements they gave about the object’s shape and appearance, depicted in the image at the outset of this article (the image is an original work produced by Christian P. Lambright, X Desk Publishing, copyright 2013, as featured in Curt Collins’ original article at his site Blue Blurry Lines, which can be viewed here. Also, Curt’s article details a number of other renderings of the object, and I recommend folks visit his site for further background on this case).

Over the years, some have presented this case as one of the best UFO reports of the modern era, rife with details and credible testimony that points strongly toward a physical object seen on the night in question. On the skeptical side of things, it has been argued that this case is yet another crude hoax, and that perhaps the witnesses had gone to great lengths to create the appearance of poor health following the encounter, with hopes of obtaining money in recompense from the U.S. Air Force or some other agency. 

Much like Collins has worked to try and do, looking at the case very carefully, I feel that there may still be things we can surmise about this incident, even decades after it occurred, as I recently outlined in an article on the subject. Following its publication online, one reader wrote to me addressing the long-held theory that the object or craft may have been utilizing an experimental propulsion system, perhaps one involving a nuclear engine:

“I’m a bit surprised you didn’t go into NEPA (Nuclear Engine Propulsion Aircraft) at all Micah. Especially when considering the witnesses suffered from radiation exposure combined with their reports of a rocket type exhaust. As I recall, they reported the craft appeared to be having difficulties, which would help to explain the Chinooks.”

Stanton Friedman - nuclear physicist

Stanton Friedman – nuclear physicist

As a rather interesting aside, a number of years ago I had actually considered what my reader proposes, which had prompted me to ask researcher Stanton Friedman about his feelings regarding this particular case. As a nuclear physicist who had worked on various projects that explored whether a nuclear engine propulsion craft might be feasible for air or space travel, it had been Friedman’s view that no such manmade technology would likely have existed at the time of the Cash-Landrum incident (that was his opinion, at least). Hence, Friedman felt that the object, whatever it was, “hadn’t been one of ours”, if the object had indeed exhibited any kind of a nuclear power source.

One of the first problems with the NEPA argument is actually an obvious one: despite the long-held assertions about radiation poisoning, there was never any real evidence that nuclear radiation had been found at the site (and further, it should be noted that the precise location of the observation could not be found either). Betty Cash’s vehicle similarly failed to display any convincing evidence of nuclear radiation, despite the likelihood that the vehicle had been the same distance from whatever source might have caused the witnesses to become ill afterward. This was confirmed by researcher John Schuessler, who had examined Cash’s vehicle with a geiger counter during his investigation of the incident.

While the witnesses certainly displayed symptoms similar to radiation sickness, it had been the problems with finding evidence of nuclear radiation on the vehicle that led researcher Brad Sparks to consider whether the health problems had been the result of something else; he suggested a chemical component, perhaps an aerosol, that may have been present in the environment instead.

However, I find that the ailments that the witnesses described (especially Betty Cash) were also consistent with health problems associated with exposure to a high dose of some variety of ionizing (or perhaps non-ionizing) radiation; since the object was described as extremely bright, infrared or ultraviolet might be possibilities here. Thus, the effects described might somewhat resemble conditions like sun poisoning, resulting in photochemical damage that seems more plausible than chemical reactions or nuclear radiation… especially since no convincing evidence for either of these had been found.

In my original article on the subject, I also presented information on a specific patent for an infra-heat emitter, designed for purpose of the quick inflation of balloons, and perhaps allowing infrared detection for military applications (night training missions, etc). The patent predates the Cash-Landrum incident by several years, and if we were to consider some similar device had been behind the illumination the witnesses observed, it might also account for a source of radiation–perhaps in the infrared or ultraviolet portions of the spectrum–where photochemical effects (i.e. damage to the skin, etc) certainly can occur.

Finally, we should note that a fairly high-energy ionizing source of radiation would have been able to cause effects such as damage to the skin, without resulting in radioactivity being induced in objects nearby. This seems consistent with the lack of radiation noted by Schuessler during his investigation.

In conclusion, perhaps some of the problems we face in understanding what really happened on the night of December 29, 1980 have more to do with inaccuracies and assumptions that are often made about the case, rather than hard facts. In order to make a proper assessment of the events related by Betty Cash and the Landrums, a careful review of the facts is paramount; and even after more than three decades, it may also help us come to new, better-informed conclusions about the case and its implications.

What Ever Happened to the “Flying Saucer” Shaped UFOs?

flying-saucer

What Ever Happened to the “Flying Saucer” Shaped UFOs?

Beginning in early 1951, Edward J. Ruppelt, a young, witty, and overall promising US Air Force officer, began his service as chief of the USAF’s famous Project Blue Book. Housed within the Air Technical Intelligence Center, Ruppelt and a handful of staff would begin fielding the most credible reports of aerial phenomena which, at the time, were considered a legitimate potential threat to national security: these were, of course, the famous “flying saucers” that had been reported since the summer of 1947.

“UFO,” Ruppelt would later affirm, “is the official term that I created to replace the words ‘flying saucers’.” The reason for this had been rather obvious: in the foreword written by Drunvalo Melchizedek, it was noted that there a handful of “types” of UFO that the USAF documented during the Blue Book years under Ruppelt’s oversight; these were the, Triangular craft, Cigars, Balls of Light, Balls of Flame, and of course, the famous “Flying Saucer”. “The Air Force’s conclusion,” Melchizedek notes, “after about four years of dramatic study was that this phenomenon was not the work of the Russians, not the United States — not anyone from this planet.”

Whether or not the non-terrestrial nature of the alleged craft can indeed be affirmed, it is clear that there had been far more occurring throughout the 1950s—and throughout the decades that would follow, just as well—than most conventional surveys of aviation history would indicate. In equal measure, it can hardly be argued that a number of the sorts of “saucers” and other UFOs that were being reported as humankind coasted along into the Atomic Age were, in fact, of terrestrial origin. Just within the last few years, the release of previously classified documents pertaining to aircraft test flights like the Oxcart program, the CIA’s codename for its project for development of the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft, have shed new light on strange “saucers” seen at high altitudes above the American Southwest… saucers which, obvious though it seems to us today, bore more resemblance then to the advanced jet aircraft most of us are used to seeing today.

But that’s not to say that there haven’t been some legitimate reports of UFOs that aren’t so easily ID’d in retrospect, particularly those bearing the now-famous “saucer” shape. Consider the following account, once again sourced from Ruppelt’s own book on the subject:

“Just before noon on March 16, Chief Petty Officer Charles Lewis saw a disk shaped UFO come streaking across the sky and buzz a high flying B-36. Lewis first saw the UFO coming in from the north, lower than the B-36; then he saw it pull up to the big bomber as it got closer. It hovered under the B-36 for an instant, then it went speeding off and disappeared. When the press inquired about the incident, Captain M. A. Nation, commander of the air station, vouched for his chief and added that the base tower operators had seen and reported a UFO to him about ten days before.”

Similar non-air force reports have yielded fruit on occasion in the years that would follow. In my own personal research into UFOs over the last several years, a number of witnesses have described such seemingly-impossible aircraft to me; witnesses that I have come to know quite well in many instances, and whose judgement and credibility have earned my sincerest confidence.

One such report was related to me in the summer of 2013 by an individual named “Betty”. Having formerly worked as a statistician in various branches of the U.S. government throughout the 1980s and 90s, Betty confided to me that she had never been particularly interested in UFOs, and considered herself to be a “skeptic”. This, however, hadn’t caused her to dismiss her own observation of a classic, saucer-shaped aircraft in the early 1970s.

As Betty describes:

I must have been about 12, my brother Billy (11 months older) was there as well.  We lived in Venice, California at the time, about a mile from the beach.  Anyway, one night, Billy and I were outside playing around.  Suddenly we stopped at a loud engine sound and looked up to see the Goodyear Blimp flying low about a block away, heading west.  We were able to clearly see the advertisement on the side of the blimp.  Later, we stopped again to see the Goodyear Blimp slowly flying by to the east.  Every child in Los Angeles knows the Goodyear Blimp.

Billy and I had resumed our playing when suddenly I heard a vibrating sound coming from the right corner of the house.  I looked up and hovering close to the house was some sort of craft.  Because it was so close to the house I could only see about a 3rd of it’s size (an estimation).  I saw the lights that appeared to go around the craft.  I remember red and white lights, too much time has gone by to remember for sure if there were other colors as well.  As I focused in on the rest of the exposed craft, I could see what appeared to be a “classic” flying saucer of the 1960s.  There were no apparent lights on the upper portion of the craft, it was grayed in its own lighting and from my house and street lamps.  I glanced at Billy who was staring with his mouth open. I looked back at the craft and saw it slightly tilt downward toward us.  I was so excited!   Just then my brother yelled “go get mom!”  I ran inside the living room and yelled at my mother “There’s a UFO!” as she stared at me from the dining room with my oldest brother.  I pivoted there and ran back outside.  By the time I returned to my spot, my mom and older brother were already there. 

“Where’d it go!”  I demanded from Billy.  Looking like he was shaken, he said that as soon as I turned to go into the house, the UFO shot out of there in a flash.  It was extremely fast and shot out toward the Venice Pier.  I looked out that way but could only see small orbs of light, much like airplanes from the airport (there are no stars in Los Angeles). 

Billy and I were scoffed at and we were left to ponder over what we saw.

The next day my mother told me that in the paper, there were reports of an unusual light seen out over the Venice pier.”

Betty’s encounter is like many that have crossed my desk over the years, supplied by clear-minded, sober individuals that, if anything, have maintained very little interest in the UFO subject. And yet, in such instances, the famed, if not archetypal “flying saucer” shape has remained, though perhaps not prevalently.

saucers

It is indeed funny, in retrospect, the way that so many things that once scared us become relegated to the lunatic fringe; like the drive-in horror movies from decades ago that scared the daylights out of us which, today, we laugh at, and point at the dangling bits of wiggling rubber that make up the monstrosities that once caused us to cower.

Maybe the UFOs are no different, in a sense: the only thing that could have actually been as scary as bug-eyed aliens in saucers from someplace else would have been the once-inevitable conclusion that the USAF had thought they might eventually determine: that the “saucers” had been something of our own making, and belonging to the boys across the pond, who were now waving the bigger stick. That ended up not being the case, of course… but if not Russian, then whose were they? 

Even today, the odd disc shaped aircraft are still reported. They appear only sparingly–almost as if just to assert themselves from time to time–or maybe to be taken as some archaic reminder of the kind of weirdness that UFOs “used to be”. Or at least, a reminder of how things were back in the good ol’ days, when the flying saucer craze that swept the nation in the earliest years of the Cold War was still something new, refreshing, enticing, and yes, even scary.

Mulder, Scully, Fact & Fiction, Pt.3

Molecular Thoughts

Mulder, Scully, Fact & Fiction, Pt.3

The opening paragraph of part-1 of this three-part article began with the following: “Now that the new series of The X-Files is already halfway through its brief return to television, I figured it would be a good time to address an issue that often crops up in conversation. And particularly when I’m lecturing on the “government files” angle of the UFO controversy. Namely, does the real FBI have its very own X-Files department? Well, the short answer is ‘No. It does not.’ That’s not to say, however, that the FBI hasn’t played a significant role in the investigation of the kinds of mysteries that would have Mulder drooling at the mouth and Scully rolling her eyes and shaking her head.”

So far, we’ve addressed the FBI’s files on UFOs in 1947, an alleged UFO crash in 1948, and the Contactee/”Space Brother” controversy that began in the early 1950s. Now, it’s time to move on. Covering the period from 1957 to 1960, we have the FBI’s files on Extra-Sensory Perception, ESP. Of this very interesting document collection, the FBI says: “ESP is considered a perception of information about events beyond what may be discerned through the five physical senses or deduced from past experience or knowledge. This release consists of cross references to ESP found in FBI files from 1957 to 1960. Several of the documents concern William Foos, a proponent of ESP. Others concern claims that ESP could be used in espionage investigations. The FBI found no scientific support for this or other claims and did not pursue the matters raised in these references.”

Predating the more well-known “Remote Viewing” programs of the early 1970s onward, the ESP file shows how, for a while, officialdom got quite excited by the idea of potentially employing psychic 007’s to spy on the likes of the Reds.

Without doubt, the weirdest mystery that the FBI found itself involved in during the 1970s was that concerning so-called “cattle mutilations.” The FBI’s file is titled “Animal Mutilation.” The FBI says of this particular dossier: “In the mid-1970s, reports of scattered animal mutilations in western and mid-western states concerned many people. The FBI was asked to investigate, but was unable to do so because of a lack of jurisdiction (except when such mutilations were found on Indian lands). These files consist mainly of press clippings and correspondence concerning the issues between 1974 and 1978.”

Indeed, it’s the correspondence that is particularly notable. The file is filled with New Mexico State Police reports of case after case of very odd – even macabre – cattle mutilations. Many of the incidents occurred in and around the New Mexico town of Dulce – a place with a notorious tie to Ufology. The files tell of animals found dead with their legs broken, as if they had been dropped from significant heights. There are reports of black helicopters skulking around. Aliens, secret bio-warfare operations, satanic cults, and predators all come under the scrutiny of law enforcement officials. To call the reports real-life X-Files would not be wide of the mark. It would be right on it. Now, let’s head on to the 1980s.

It’s time to turn our attentions to Jack the Ripper. What on Earth does the world’s most infamous serial-killer have to do with the Bureau? The answer comes from the FBI: “In 1888, a series of unsolved homicides in London, England were attributed to a serial killer called ‘Jack the Ripper.’ In 1988, Supervisory Special Agent John Douglas of the FBI’s National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime performed an analysis of the case for the Cosgrove-Meurer Production Company. This release consists of his analysis.”

Also in 1988, the FBI found itself embroiled in the controversy surrounding the notorious “MJ12 documents.” “Leaked” to certain figures within the UFO research community a handful of years earlier, the supposedly Top Secret documents tell of a UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947, and of a highly-classified group tasked with overseeing the matter: Majestic 12. Or, MJ12. Of this file, the FBI tells us: “In 1988, two FBI offices received similar versions of a memo titled ‘Operation Majestic-12…’claiming to be highly classified government document. The memo appeared to be a briefing for newly-elected President Eisenhower on a secret committee created to exploit a recovery of an extra-terrestrial aircraft and cover-up this work from public examination. An Air Force investigation determined the document to be a fake.”

Indeed, a meeting occurred in Washington, D.C. on November 30, 1988 between agents of the FBI and agents of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, in which the FBI was told that the MJ12 documents were a “fabricated hoax.”

And there we have it: probably the closest thing to the fictional X-Files of a certain TV show now making a comeback. You may be interested to know I could have made this article a 4- or even 5-part one, such is the extent of the “weird files” held by the FBI. Those I didn’t touch on include files on sci-fi author Philip K. Dick; Spontaneous Human Combustion; Nicola Tesla; Wilhelm “Orgone” Reich; and rocket-pioneer and Aleister Crowley disciple, Jack Parsons. And, indeed, there may be others, still awaiting declassification.

Mysterious People Who Appeared from Nowhere

Mysterious People Who Appeared from Nowhere

History is rife with strange tales of people who have mysteriously vanished from the face of the earth without a trace, but one area that seems to get decidedly less coverage is the various accounts of those who did just the opposite, appearing out of nowhere cloaked in mystery and emanating questions and puzzles around them that have never been satisfactorily answered. Here we have strangers who have stepped out of thin air from another place, perhaps even another time or plane of existence, and have gone on to leave impenetrable mysteries in their wake to this day. Stepping out of blue and into our imagination, these baffling appearances represent a phenomena every bit as perplexing as strange disappearances. Let us journey into the bizarre world of mysterious individuals who seemingly appeared from nowhere.
 
One of the earliest, most well-known, and indeed bizarre cases of people appearing out of nowhere occurred in the mid-12th century, when two children mysteriously appeared in the sleepy village of Woolpit, in the English county of Suffolk, and went on to become an enduring mystery known as the Green Children of Woolpit. Allegedly one day, two young children, a boy and a girl, suddenly and inexplicably emerged from a deep pit used for trapping the wolves that terrorized the region in those days. If this wasn’t already odd enough, it immediately became apparent that these were no ordinary children, as they both reportedly had skin that was tinted green, and were dressed in strange, unfamiliar clothing made from an unusual fabric that no one recognized. The children seemed to be more or less healthy but somewhat dazed and confused, and when villagers tried to speak to them they spoke a strange, unintelligible language that no one had ever heard before. Not knowing what to do with these enigmatic children, the locals presented them to a wealthy landowner by the name of Sir Richard de Calne, who took them into his care. Things would only get stranger from there.
 
 
The children immediately started crying uncontrollably when they arrived at their new caretaker’s house, chattering with each other in their alien tongue but no one could understand a word of what they were saying. When presented with food, the green-skinned children would not eat anything, even though they made it clear that they were quite hungry. Bread, meat, fruit and vegetables were all offered, but everything was refused by the children until they were presented with beans still in their pods, which they ravenously devoured. For several months this was the only food the children would eat, until they gradually began to consume other things such as bread. Tragically, the boy purportedly became increasingly morose and sullen in this new environment, eventually becoming very ill and wasting away until he died. The girl, on the other hand, seemed to adapt reasonably well to the new world she had found herself in, her green pallor gradually dissipated, and she even started picking up the English language. That’s where things got even weirder still.
 
When she was able to somewhat express herself in English, the girl began to try and explain where they had come from. She claimed that the boy had been her brother and that they had come from a faraway land located deep underground, where the sun never shone, where it was always dark, and where all of the people had green skin; a fantastical place she called St. Martin. When asked how they had arrived at Woolpit, the girl told the mesmerized villagers that she had been out herding cattle with her brother and had followed the animals into a large cavern. As they plunged deeper into the cavern the girl claimed that they had heard a strange sound like bells, which they followed into the uncharted blackness, becoming more and more disoriented until there was a sudden bright shaft of light that had pierced through the gloom and hurt their eyes. When the children had followed the light they exited the cavern, only instead of their homeland before their eyes it had been the bottom of the wolf trap pit they had been found in. It was a bizarre tale to be sure, and nobody was quite sure what to make of it, although there was all manner of speculation. The girl would subsequently go on to live a relatively normal life in the village, adjusting comfortably to her new home, integrating into society well, and even being baptized and eventually getting married.
 
The story of the Green Children of Woolpit went on to become a popular tale of curiosity and is still much discussed to this day. It is difficult to know what to make of this story, and hard to ascertain just how many elements actually took place and which are mere myths, exaggeration, folktale, fancy, and fairy tale. There have been a wide range of theories proposed for the Green Children’s origins, ranging from the somewhat plausible to the more far-fetched. The enigmatic children have been alternately theorized as being from a parallel dimension, aliens, inhabitants of some hidden subterranean civilization, feral children raised by animals, orphans with arsenic poisoning or malnutrition which made their skin green, or Flemish immigrant refugees fleeing persecution and a battle that had killed their parents. In the end, no one really knows who they were, where they came from, or indeed how much of the story is even based in reality, and so the story of the Green Children of Woolpit has become an enduring mystery that will perhaps never be solved.
 
 
Plaza Mayor, Mexico
 
Another story similarly rendered muddy and murky by the passage of time and retellings is a strange appearance in Mexico City on October 26, 1593, of a Spanish soldier who seems to have appeared out of thin air after being teleported over vast distances. On the day in question, guards at Mexico City’s Plaza Mayor noticed a dazed looking man walking about in a trance and wearing the uniform of a Philippine soldier. In addition to him being very far from the Philippines, no one could figure out how the intruder could have possibly slipped past the high security of the premises, and the suspicious guards immediately detained him. When the stranger was questioned, he had quite the fantastic story to tell. He claimed that his name was Gil Perez, a soldier and guard at the Governor General in Manila, Philippines, and that on October 23, 1593 had been at his post on high alert following the shocking assassination of governor Don Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas. Exhausted, Perez had allegedly leaned on a wall and closed his eyes for a moment, but when he opened them again he was in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by new sights and smells. Disoriented, Perez nevertheless had dutifully gone back to his guard detail until he realized that his uniform was not the same as the guards around him, which was around when he had been apprehended. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the skeptical Mexican guards did not believe a word of this spectacular tale, and Perez was promptly thrown into prison and accused of being a “servant of the devil.”
 
Perez languished in prison for months until a ship arrived from the Philippines along with news of the Manilla governor’s assassination, which had until that point been unknown in Mexico. Further corroborating Perez’s story was the testimony of someone on the ship who claimed to know Perez and to have actually seen him on duty on October 23, although it was not known that he had gone to Mexico. Considering that he had been detained since the 26rd of October and that he could not possibly have known of the assassination, since the news had taken months to travel across the ocean by ship, as well as the claims by those on the ship who apparently knew him, the Mexican authorities had no real choice but to grudgingly believe Perez. In light of this information, the Mexican authorities then reportedly released him and allowed him to go home, this time the long way by ship. It is not known if Perez was really who he claimed to be, and indeed it is uncertain just how much of this story is true, if any, or what parts may have been exaggerated or fabricated over retellings, but theories by those who put stock in it include the ideas that he was simply a lying imposter or a deserter, to spontaneous teleportation, interdimensional portals, or even alien abduction.
 
 
Similarly bizarre is the tale of a man who allegedly teleported not over space, but seemingly through time itself. The story goes that one evening in June of 1950 a man wearing 19th century clothing was suddenly observed wandering aimlessly about in the middle of a busy intersection in New York City. As the dazed man walked around in aimless circles he was then allegedly hit by a taxi and killed. When the body was examined things became bizarre fairly quickly. The man, estimated as being about 30 years old, was dressed in immaculate clothing and shoes, but they were around a century out of date, right down to shoes that were fastened with old fashioned oversized buckles. The man was also found to have been carrying some rather odd items, including very old banknotes with dates preceding the 1870s, a 5-cent copper token for beer at a saloon no one had ever heard of, a bill for the care of a horse and washing of a carriage from a livery stable that turned out not to exist anywhere, and a letter from Philadelphia dated June 1876. There was also a business card emblazoned with an address and the name Rudolph Fentz.
 
Armed with a name and address, a Captain Hubert V. Rihm with the NYPD Missing Persons Department then allegedly went about trying to track down the identity of the puzzling stranger and was quickly met with frustration. The address written on the card led to people who had never seen or heard of the man, the name Rudolph Fentz was not listed in the phone book nor were any next of kin, he did not turn up any fingerprint records, and no one by that name had been reported missing. He seemed to not exist. It was almost by chance that the baffled investigator came across a listing for a Rudolf Fenz Jr. in a telephone directory dated 1939. This led Rihm to an elderly lady who claimed to be the widow of Rudolf Fenz Jr., and it was this lady who would tell a story that would make everything even more bizarre.
 
 
However, as incredible as this story sounds, there is unfortunately evidence that it is at least partly a fictional account, if not entirely fabricated. Although there have been many articles and books citing the account as a genuine, factual report, it was later found that the first such mention of the Fentz story, which appeared in the 1972 May/June issue of the Journal of Borderland Research, was originally sourced as being from a 1953 book called A Voice from the Gallery, by Ralph M. Holland. It seems that Holland had gotten this particular account from a magazine called Collier’s, in a short story entitled I’m Scared, which was by a science fiction author named Jack Finney. Considering that the story is almost exactly the same as the account so often classified as a real event, it is very likely that the case of Rudolph Fentz is based on pure fiction. It is still an interesting case nevertheless, and illustrates just how muddied the waters can get when trying to determine how credible a particular account is or how closely intertwined with reality it is.
 
Another case from history which has gained quite a lot of recognition is that of a mysterious young man named Kaspar Hauser. The setting of this account is Nuremberg, Germany, where on 26 May 1828 a young man in his teens who no one recognized suddenly appeared wandering the streets. The seemingly bewildered, confused boy was found to be carrying a letter addressed to a Captain von Wessenig, who was the captain of the 4th squadron of the 6th cavalry regiment. The unknown author of the letter stated that the boy was attained as an infant, taken in, educated at home, and had never left the confines of the house. The letter ended with the statement that the boy wished to be a cavalryman, that his father had been a cavalryman, and Wessenig was given the ultimatum to either “take him in or to hang him.” Another short letter was found that seemed to be from the mother, who called the boy Kaspar and claimed that his true father had been a cavalryman who had died for reasons unspecified. Oddly, both letters seemed to be written in the exact same handwriting.
 
The lady claimed that a 31-year-old Rudolph Fentz Sr. had mysteriously disappeared while out for his daily walk in 1876, when her husband had been only a child.  At the time, authorities had apparently launched a massive investigation into the disappearance and had turned up no trace of the missing man. He had vanished without a trace. Intrigued by this new information, Rihm then supposedly checked missing person reports from 1876 and found to his astonishment that indeed a Rudolph Fentz had disappeared that year during an early evening walk and was never found, just as the lady had told him. Eerily, the description for Fentz on the day he vanished matched the mystery man’s exactly, right down to the clothes he had been wearing, and the photo included was a dead ringer for the man. Fearing that no one would ever possibly believe him, Rihm was then said to have dropped the odd findings from the official investigation. Over the years the mysterious story of Rudolph Fentz has inspired speculation that he may have been somehow sucked up in some sort of vortex and inadvertently time travelled, and the tale has made the rounds sparking debate for years.
 
Kaspar Hauser
 
Questions posed to the boy and indeed all attempts to communicate with him proved to be frustratingly futile, as the only thing he would say was “I want to be a cavalryman, as my father was” or “Horse!” repeated over and over again. When pressed on anything, he would simply say “Don’t know.” He refused to eat or drink anything except bread and water. He also showed only the most remedial awareness of common everyday rituals such as using money or basic grooming and social skills, and he was only able to read to a very limited degree. The only useful information he seemed to be able to provide was his full name in a childish scrawl on a piece of paper; Kaspar Hauser. Other than that, no one had any idea of who he really was or where he had come from. He was a total enigma.
 
The first theory as to Kaspar’s origins was that he was some sort of feral child raised among animals out in the wilderness, which would explain his lack of social awareness and limited communication skills. However, as Kaspar began to gain the ability to more fully express himself more light began to be shed upon his mysterious background. He described how he had essentially been raised in a dungeon; a tiny darkened cell not even large enough to stand in, in which he had lived totally alone and slept on a straw bed. His meals were claimed to have been bread and water left for him each morning. He claimed that not once in all of his years growing up did he ever meet his mysterious caretaker, or even another human being for that matter. The boy had never learned to talk or even walk, and had lived his whole life hunched over in that cramped, dank cell with only a few small wooden toys to keep him company. It was not until right before he was released that he had met another person for the first time, who he claimed was a man who did not show his face and had taught him to write his name, stand, and walk. The enigmatic stranger also had apparently taught Kaspar his first words by phonetic repetition and rote memory, “I want to be a cavalryman, as my father was,” the actual meaning of which he could not comprehend at the time.
 
Such a strange yet undeniably intriguing story soon circulated among the media, and before long Kaspar Hauser was big news all over the world, with people everywhere wondering just who he was. At the time, theories were already swirling, claiming that he was everything from royalty to a flat out liar. In the meantime, Kaspar was taken into the care of a schoolmaster and philosopher by the name of Friedrich Daumer, who further educated him in a wide variety of subjects. Over time, Kaspar adjusted to his new life, but no one was any closer to understanding his murky origins. Indeed, a series of bizarre occurrences would only serve to deepen the mystery surrounding him.
 
Kaspar Hauser
 
On 17 October 1829, Kaspar was found in the cellar with a cut on his forehead after he had failed to show up for his usual lunch. The visibly shaken boy claimed that he had been attacked by a man in a hood, who had sounded exactly like the man who had brought him to Nuremburg and who had threatened him before cutting him with a knife and fleeing. Kaspar then claimed that he had escaped down into the cellar to hide, leaving a trail of blood along the floor as he did so. In the wake of the mysterious attack, Kaspar was moved into the care of a municipal authority by the name of Johann Biberbach for his own safety. It was never found out for certain just who had attacked him, or indeed whether he had merely inflicted the wound on himself. The move would not stop the strange string of events unfolding. After Kapsar had settled into Biberbach’s house, yet another odd incident would occur, when on 3 April 1830 there was a sudden gunshot that rang out from his room. Kaspar was found to be bleeding from a gash on the side of his head, and when pressed on what had happened he claimed that he had been climbing up on a chair to reach some books and had accidentally knocked down a gun hanging on the wall, which had then gone off. Oddly, the cut on his head did not seem have been consistent with a gunshot wound. Kaspar was moved yet again, this time to the house of his next patron, a landowner named Baron von Tucher.
 
During this time, there were beginning weird rumors that Kaspar was a rather unpleasant, abrasive person to be around. In fact, both Biberbach and von Tucher openly complained that the boy was disagreeable, a habitual liar, and extremely vain, with an exasperated Biberbach once stating that Kaspar was skilled in the “art of dissimulation” and “full of vanity and spite.” Claims such as these started to eat away at the boy’s credibility, and there was increasing speculation that he had faked the knife attack and gunshot perhaps in order to manipulate others into feeling sorry for him. Further evidence of deception would come when a British nobleman named Lord Stanhope took him into custody and spent immense resources trying to investigate Kaspar’s past based on his accounts, but had come up completely empty-handed, leading him to doubt that the boy was telling the whole truth. Yet another caretaker of Kaspar’s named Johann Georg Meyer quickly parted ways with the boy after a strained relationship full of arguments and lies, and he would later proclaim “I had been deceived.” Yet another caretaker by the name of Anselm von Feuerbach would later say of Kaspar “Caspar Hauser is a smart scheming codger, a rogue, a good-for-nothing that ought to be killed.” Not exactly words of praise.
 
 
With doubt cast on the veracity of his story, and his credibility unravelling even as speculation boiled on where he had come from or even who he was Kaspar would meet an end that was every bit as mysterious as his life had been. On 14 December 1833, Hauser came home with a deep wound in his chest, and claimed that he had been attacked by a knife-wielding man in Ansbach Court Garden. An investigation would turn up a purse lying in the garden which contained a cryptic note scrawled on a piece of paper which was written in mirror writing in German and rife with grammatical mistakes. The mysterious note read:
 
"Hauser will be able to tell you quite precisely how I look and from where I am. To save Hauser the effort, I want to tell you myself from where I come _ _ . I come from from _ _ _the Bavarian border _ _On the river _ _ _ _ _I will even tell you the name: M. L. Ö."
 
It has never been conclusively determined what the message means, who wrote the note, or what role they had to play in Kasper’s fate, if any. Kaspar Hauser would die of the grievous knife wound on 17 December 1833; his death as every bit as weird and mysterious as his life had been, leaving behind the strange note and far more questions than he had ever been able to answer. The headstone of his grave, located in the city cemetery of Ansbach, is testament to his enigmatic origins and life, reading “Here lies Kaspar Hauser, riddle of his time. His birth was unknown, his death mysterious. 1833.” Indeed, the mystery and speculation surrounding the life and death of Kaspar Hauser has shown little sign of waning in the subsequent years, and he has spawned numerous theories about who he could have been and who was responsible for his death.
 
One popular theory at the time was that Kaspar was in fact the hereditary prince of Baden, and the prince had been switched with another baby before mysteriously appearing 16 years later in Nuremburg as Kaspar Hauser. In this scenario, Kaspar was imprisoned by the Countess of Hochberg so that her sons could be successors to the title in the absence of any surviving male progeny of Charles, Grand Duke of Baden, and indeed it was for this reason that he was surmised to have been ultimately murdered. While this theory has often been thrown about, there is very little evidence to show that this was the case and it has largely been dismissed by historians.

In light of many of the inconsistencies and oddities of Kaspar’s story, there are others who believe that the whole thing was more or less a big scam carried out by Kaspar himself, or that it was merely a tall tale woven by a possibly mentally impaired teenager. There are several issues that cast doubt on Kaspar’s own version of events. One is that when he was found he did not seem to exhibit any of the health issues that one would expect of someone who had lived their whole life in a cramped, subterranean dungeon as claimed. For instance, such a long, uninterrupted period of time in absolute darkness should have most certainly resulted in rickets, yet the records show that Kaspar had no such condition, and in fact he was described as being rather healthy looking with a vibrant complexion. He was also in good physical condition for someone who claimed that they had been unable to stand their whole life and had just learned to walk, and Kaspar was able to run or climb stairs with no particular difficulty. It seems that anyone who had lived under such harsh conditions for their entire life would likely have been paler, sicklier, less physically fit, and indeed far more mentally impaired than Kaspar seemed to be. It has also been pointed out that the letters he had been carrying when he was originally found bore handwriting that was uncannily similar to his own. For these reasons, it is thought that the whole account of his previous life had been a fanciful fiction, that Kaspar was a pathological liar, and that the attacks he had suffered were also lies, with the wounds self-inflicted.
 
Indeed, in this theory the very knife wound that killed him may have been from Kaspar himself, and he had simply cut himself more deeply than he had intended. Other clues surrounding his death point to this possibility as well. For instance, the handwriting and grammatical mistakes of the note found in the garden from the alleged attacker were similar to Kaspar’s, and the letter had been folded in the same characteristic way that he folded other letters he had written. However, for all of the speculation and theories, to this day no one really knows for sure who Kaspar Hauser was, where he came from, how much of his story was true, or who really killed him and the case continues to be a baffling enigma that puzzles to this day.
 
Equally baffling is yet another strange account which allegedly took place in 1954 at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan. In July of that year, a Caucasian looking man dressed in a suit stepped off a plane that had originated in Europe and causally made his way to customs. When customs asked him the purpose of his visit, he told them that he was there on business, and had indeed been to Japan several times before for the same reason. In fact, the man was conversant in Japanese, as well as French and Spanish. Indeed, his wallet contained currencies from a few European countries. At this point, he seemed to be just an intelligent, well-travelled business man, and there was no reason to be suspicious. Yet then they asked him where he was from and things got strange.
 
 
When asked his country of origin, the man matter-of-factly stated he was from Taured, as if it was the most natural answer in the world. The problem is, there is no such country, and when the suspicious customs officer informed him of this the man looked baffled, presenting his passport and insisting that this was indeed where he was from and that it was a country lying between France and Spain. The official-looking passport was indeed issued from a country called Taured, and held customs stamps from several European countries, as well as three previous stamps from Japan, just as the man had said. The man even had a valid-looking driver’s license from Taured. At this point the enigmatic stranger was starting to arouse suspicion, and he was ushered away for further questioning. He was shown a map of Europe and asked to point out where Taured was, yet he seemed genuinely bewildered when he could not locate it there where he claimed it should have been. The only country that was in the location he indicated was the tiny nation of Andorra, and the frustrated man claimed that it was Andorra was the made-up country and that in its place should be Tuared; a country he claimed had existed for over 1,000 years. The skeptical customs officials asked him where he was headed for work, and when they tried the number that the man provided the company on the other end of the line stated that they had never heard of him. A call to the hotel where he claimed to be staying likewise turned up no evidence that he had ever booked a room there, and furthermore the bank information he gave turned out to be from a bank that no one had ever heard of and which could not be contacted. Baffled authorities decided to book him into a hotel under observation as they tried to figure out what to make of his story, yet the following day the man was nowhere to be found in his room, despite the fact that authorities had been outside the whole night. He had simply vanished. Later, when police went to the airport to retrieve the man’s passport and driver’s license for an investigation, they were found to be mysteriously gone without a trace as well.
 
It is hard to know what to make of this account. Although it has appeared in many Internet articles, as well as mentioned as a factual account in several books, such as The Directory of Possibilities and Strange But True: Mysterious and Bizarre People, there seems to be a lack of any solid original source to verify it, giving it more the distinct air of an urban legend. Nevertheless, there have been numerous theories posed for who the mysterious stranger could have been, ranging from a time traveler to a visitor from some parallel dimension who had somehow pushed through the veil that separates our realities. Unfortunately, there is little we can do to prove or disprove this amazing story, and it remains a mystery.
 
Curiously, this would not have been the first case of such a puzzling stranger appearing from a phantom country no one had ever heard of. In an eerily similar case, in 1851 a man calling himself Joseph Vorin was found wandering about a village in the rural German district of Lebas, near the town of Frankfort-on-the-Oder. Thinking he was a vagrant drifter, authorities approached the stranger and asked him where he had come from. The stranger, who appeared to be Caucasian, answered in broken German that he was from a faraway country called Laxaria, which he claimed could be found out over the seas in a region he identified as Sakria, neither of which were real places that anyone had ever heard of. When he was detained and brought to Frankfurt for further questioning, things got more bizarre still. Vorin was found to be unfamiliar with any other European language except German, of which he had only a rudimentary grasp, but he claimed to be a native speaker of two unintelligible languages which he said were called Laxarian and Abramian, with one being the written language of the “Clerical Order of Laxaria” and the other the common language of his people. The stranger was apparently very persuasive, explaining the geography of his country and even his religion, which he called Ispatian, in great detail. Vorin further claimed that he had been searching for his missing brother, but that he had become shipwrecked on his journey and had ended up in Germany. It seems that in the end, the baffled authorities came to the conclusion that he was telling the truth and released him.
 
 
In 1905 in Paris, France, another such stranger was apprehended when he tried unsuccessfully to pilfer a loaf of bread from a marketplace. When questioned by police, the man claimed in imperfect French that he was from a country called Lizbia. It was at first thought that he was trying to say “Lisbon,” and a Portuguese translator was brought in to help police further question him in more detail. However, the stranger did not speak a word of Portuguese, and indeed did not seem to even be able to locate the country on a map. The man humored authorities by speaking in what he claimed to be his native language, and although it seemed to follow basic rules of syntax and have its own vocabulary, no one had ever heard of it before and indeed no linguist was able to place it. Unfortunately, the authorities could not do much to keep him, and when he had been sternly warned about attempted theft he was released. This is another case for which it is hard to ascertain the parts which could be true or fabricated, and which will probably always remain a curious puzzle.
 
So what are we to make of all of this? In these disparate stories of mysterious strangers who have appeared from seemingly nowhere do we have in some instances cases of such oddities as time travel, interdimensional portals and spontaneous teleportation? Is there truly something at work here that goes beyond what we know of our universe, with these people somehow walking the line on the limits of reality, transcending the horizons of what we think we understand of space and time? In other cases, such as that of Kaspar Hauser, do we have a true tale of intrigue or merely the ramblings of a swindling degenerate liar? Is any of this possibly real or is this all just urban legends, tall tales, and exaggeration over time, with some of these people having never really even existed at all? Who were these inscrutable strangers, where did they come from, and what did they want? There is a plentitude of questions raised in cases like these to which we are likely doomed to never know the answers to, with the clues fading into legend and obscurity, vanishing just as surely as these mysterious people allegedly appeared.

The Military is Creating “Cyborg” Soldiers…

The Military is Creating “Cyborg” Soldiers…

The US military is looking at how it can turn “average” soldiers into super cyborgs by building an “implantable neural interface” that will allow direct communication between the human brain and a super computer. This will culminate in a killing machine.
 
The research is part of the Obama administations BRAIN Initiative (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies), which itself is a very dodgy program to begin with, since it entails studying the manipulation of the human brain.
 
The concept is being developed together with DARPA, a government at the forefront of military technology and warfare. The new interface will be a small sized bio-compatible unit that will enable the user to communicate with a computer using up to a million neurons at a time, which is about one thousand times faster than any current system in existence.
 
Although this is sure to excite those who have a rather childish Hollywood view and outlook of military and warfare, this concept is extremely dangerous for multiple reasons. Not only does it trivialize the concept of warfare by degrading it to a type of virtual reality game, which will ultimately be waged at the expense of the poor in resource rich countries who cannot defend themselves, but by allowing government affiliated scientists to connect their technology onto the brains of soldiers automatically runs the risk of them manipulating the human brain. Scientists affiliated with secret government projects have a history of engaging in unethical behaviors, as can be found in multiple experiments such as the tests of MKULTRA or the Tuskegee experiment, among others.
 
Yes, it is true that the BRAIN initiative can be used for good, but these applications will most certainly be used for warfare and selfish government agendas that are not in the public’s best interest, but rather their own.

WASHINGTON STATE HOTBED FOR UFO ACTIVITY

APRIL 22, 1998  TO  MAY 11, 1998

1. Snohomish County, WA:  A 16-yr. old male and his mother, located approximately 15-20 miles north of Seattle, witnessed a blue-green object suddenly descend from the sky, hover, and then accelerate to the south-southwest and disappear in that direction at approximately 2120 hrs. (PDT).

2. Poulsbo, WA:  Larry Swanson, a former federal employee and computer specialist, who resides approximately ¼ mile from the northeast corner of the Bangor Submarine Base, allegedly witnessed a brightly lighted, disc-shaped object glide silently over the center of that military facility at approximately 2122 hrs..  The object tilted somewhat, so the witness was able to see the ventral side of the object quite clearly, he reports.  A computer-generated graphic, provided by the witness, is shown above.

3. Auburn, WA:  A man out walking his dog witnessed a perfectly circular, blue-green ball of light descend from north to south in the western sky at 2120 hrs. at a very high velocity.

4. Puyallup, WA:  A man driving to work witnessed a striking blue-green ball of light descending at a 30-35 degree angle from north to south in the western sky at a very high velocity.

5. Shelton, WA:  A young father witnessed a blue-green ball of light streak across the sky to the west of his location.

6. Oakville, WA:  A mother and her two sons, driving west on State Route 12, located to the west of Interstate 5, witnessed a “disc shaped” object, imbedded in a cloud of blue-green light, streak from north to south in the western sky.  The object appeared to “follow the contour” of the horizon, dipping down suddenly, and then rising up again during its rapid flight to the south.  The object was reported to generate a peculiar “tail,” which streamed off the aft end of the object for a fleeting instant.  All three witnesses believed they observed three lights on the top of the disc, and three lights on its ventral side, as well.

7. Steilacoom, WA:  A woman witnessed a blue-green ball of light streak from north to south in the western sky at 2123 hrs.

8. Vancouver, WA:  A husband and wife witnessed a blue-green ball of light move slowly from north to south in the western sky.  Very peculiar appearance to the object, they reported, with a peculiar looking “mist” surrounding the object.

9. Portland, OR:  A young musician witnessed a blue-green ball of light move from west to east in the northern sky from his vantage point in the city of Portland, OR.

10. Vancouver, WA:  A male Ph.D. in computer science, driving north on Interstate 5 witnessed a blue-green ball of light, that seemed to him to descend vertically ahead of his automobile and hover momentarily above the highway.  The witness added that he had experienced some very unusual emotional reactions to the event.

11. Yakima, WA:  A law enforcement officer witnessed a blue-green ball of light moving at a very high velocity from south to north for approximately 2 seconds.  During his sighting, the object suddenly changed its color from green to red. The sighting occurred at 2130 hrs., the witness thought.

Scientists Successfully Decode Thoughts, Reading Individuals’ Minds in Real-Time

Scientists Successfully Decode Thoughts, Reading Individuals’ Minds in Real-Time

 
Subjects viewed a random sequence of images of faces and houses and were asked to look for an inverted house like the one at bottom left. "That was a distractor," Jeff Ojemann said. "We were interested in what the brain was doing at the other times."
PLOS
IN BRIEF

Using electrodes implanted in epilepsy patients, scientists have decoded brain signals at nearly the speed of perception with better than 95 percent accuracy.

GETTING INSIDE YOUR HEAD

Mind-reading is often dismissed as nothing more than a charlatan trick, but scientists and researchers are trying to change this ‘decoding of the brain’ from quack-science to hard science.

Indeed, significant advancements have been made in this area already. And now, University of Washington scientists have developed technology that allows a device to effectively read your mind.

With a combination of brain implants and sophisticated software, the team was able to interpret their subjects’ thoughts and extrapolate what their subjects were seeing. Thanks to this study, scientists were able to gain insight into how people are able to translate sensory information from an image into something our minds can comprehend.

In their work, which was published in PLOS Computational Biology, the researchers implanted electrodes for a week in seven epilepsy patients. The electrodes were initially implanted to determine where the seizures were originating, but the scientists saw an opportunity to use them to gather data for research (with patients’ permission, of course).

“We were trying to understand, first, how the human brain perceives objects in the temporal lobe, and second, how one could use a computer to extract and predict what someone is seeing in real time?” explained Rajesh Rao, one of the lead authors, in their press release.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR THOUGHTS
Source: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004660

Source: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004660

With electrodes in their brains, patients were shown a random sequence of images varying from human faces, houses, and empty gray screens in brief 400 millisecond intervals. The patients were instructed to look out for an image of an upside-down house.

Data was gathered during this time period from the electrodes. This data reflected what is called
“event related potentials,” the massive inflow of neurons lighting up after seeing the image, and “broadband spectral changes,” lingering signals after the image was seen.

A computer sampled and digitized the incoming data at a rate of 1,000 times per second, which enabled it to figure out the correlation between the images seen by the patients and the electrode location. Using this data, it was able to distinguish which location is more sensitive to an image of a face and that of a house. This data was used to train the software.

Another set of images, both containing houses and faces, that weren’t shown in the earlier sequences was then shown to the patients. The computer was able to interpret the incoming brain signals in the data and determine what image the subject was then viewing with a 96 percent accuracy—despite a lack of prior exposure to these new picture.

It accomplished all that within 20 milliseconds from the arrival of the data, or almost at the speed of perception itself.

What is more interesting is that the software was only able to accomplish this when it analyzed the signals using both event-related potentials and broadband spectral changes, suggesting that impulses across the region (and not only from the neurons in question) is important to how a person perceives an object.

This research is significant, as scientists are currently trying to map our brains. In the end, brain mapping could identify how various neurons, and their locations, relate to how we process our information and ultimately improve our understanding of how neurological diseases affect us.

The Mystery of Pluto’s “Floating Hills” Solved: They’re Icebergs!

The Mystery of Pluto’s “Floating Hills” Solved: They’re Icebergs!

 
nh-pluto_crop.jpg.png
IN BRIEF

A new image from NASA’s New Horizons mission shows the existence of “icebergs” on Pluto, hills of water ice floating in glaciers of denser nitrogen ice. It is but another of many fascinating discoveries returned by this fruitful mission.

WATER ICE AND NITROGEN ICE

NASA’s New Horizons mission keeps astonishing us with new images and new revelations about the mysterious, demoted dwarf planet, Pluto.

The most recent discovery is this little gem: Pluto has hills and small mountains that literally float across its surface.  It’s weird and unearthly, but we’re dealing, after all, with a very alien world on the outskirts of the Solar System.

And things are bound to get even weirder.

The newly discovered hills are mostly small, typically a few kilometers across, and were discovered in the immense frozen ocean of the so-called “Sputnik Planum,” which represents the western lobe of the famous heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio, the most prominent feature on Pluto.

It seems these hills are composed of familiar water ice (so they really are icebergs, just like their terrestrial counterparts); since water ice is less dense than nitrogen ice, these hills are literally bobbing in a vast glacier or frozen ocean of nitrogen.

The ice-hills themselves appear to be fragments of the water-ice uplands that ring the smooth Sputnik Planum, and they have apparently broken off and been swept away by the nitrogen glaciers, just like any iceberg in Earth’s Arctic or Antarctic oceans.

THE CELLULAR TERRAIN

Once afloat in the midst of Sputnik Planum, the ice-hills fall under the sway of the strange forces at work in the vast nitrogen ice glacier.  The so-called “cellular terrain” in the central regions of the glacier result from the slow, aeon-spanning convective forces of the nitrogen ice; the ice-hills are caught up in these convective cells, and pushed to their edges, forming small clusters or chains in some cases up to 20 kilometers (12 miles) long.

An unusually large concentration of these “icebergs” was found in a feature called Challenger Colles (“the Challenger hills,” named after the ill-fated Space Shuttle).  The feature (seen at the top of the image), with dimensions of 60 by 35 kilometers (37 by 22 miles), seems to represent a kind of “reef” or shallows where a large number of the ice-hills accumulated and “ran aground.”

The discovery of icebergs on Pluto seems to provide a familiar reference-point and link to the geology, hydrology, and other forces at work on Earth; but, once we look into things a little more closely, we understand just how truly alien this distant member of our Solar System really is.

So far, we’ve found Pluto to have nitrogen ice glaciers, ice volcanoes, floating mountains, and a layered atmosphere full of strange hydrocarbon molecules.  Now if we could just find evidence of a strange, thoroughly non-terrestrial life…

A Distant Supermassive Black Hole Emits Giant “Death Rays” Larger Than Our Galaxy

A Distant Supermassive Black Hole Emits Giant “Death Rays” Larger Than Our Galaxy

 
Blackhole_Still01.jpg
IN BRIEF

Astronomers have released a new X-ray/radio composite image of the distant galaxy Pictor A, showing a huge jet of high-energy particles produced by a supermassive black hole.  They were also able to determine how this jet, over three times the size of the Milky Way galaxy, produces such powerful X-ray emissions.  

JET AND COUNTERJET

In the 2014 film Interstellar, Matthew McConaughey and friends were shown exploring a series of planets orbiting a supermassive (but relatively benign) black hole in a distant galaxy.  The black hole, called “Gargantua,” was supposed to have an event horizon—that is, a point of no return—about as large as the Earth’s orbit; nevertheless, Gargantua was depicted as fairly quiescent and neighborly.

But the reality of these colossal cosmic nightmares, as a recent image from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory shows, is something very different.

The newly released picture shows the terrifying power of an actual supermassive black hole located in the galaxy Pictor A, some 500 million light years distant.  This black hole is about 40 million times the mass of the Sun (that’s about 10 times larger than the black hole at the center of our own galaxy), and if it were to replace the Sun within our Solar System, its event horizon would swallow the orbits of both Mercury and Venus.

So it’s pretty big.

Unlike Gargantua, however, the Pictor A black hole is an energetic and ferocious beast, lashing out at the universe with all the considerable power at its disposal.  The new image shows how the material being consumed by the black hole—stars, planets, interstellar gas, unwary astronauts (kidding)—releases a tremendous surplus of energy as it swirls around the event horizon in a massive accretion disk.

All of this unbridled energy is channeled into two immense jets of particles that pierce the intergalactic medium at nearly the speed of light.  In fact, these particle beams are so powerful that the observed jet—which is pointed roughly in the direction of the Earth—maintains its integrity for a distance of nearly 300,000 light years.

That’s over three times the length of our own Milky Way galaxy!

Which just serves to underscore the unfathomable energies involved.  The new image—which was compiled over 15 years from Chandra data, and is combined with radio imagery from theAustralia Telescope Compact Array—also betrays a fainter “counterjet.”  Because it is on the opposite side of the Pictor A galaxy, moving away from Earth, this counterjet is far less visible.

The radio data, which is red in the image (blue represents the Chandra data), also show two huge “radio lobes,” each many times larger than the Milky Way, caused by the jet interacting with intergalactic gas, and a blue X-ray “hotspot” on the far right, the result of shock waves produced by the jet.

SYNCHROTRON EMISSIONS

The researchers who studied the new data were able to determine that the X-rays generated by the jets of the Pictor A supermassive black hole are most likely caused by what is called “synchrotron emission.”  In this mechanism, X-rays are emitted by electrons caught up and spiraling around in powerful magnetic fields.

The process is not well understood, but it is believed that supermassive black holes also possess enormous magnetic fields, along which subatomic particles are accelerated to fantastic speeds, producing the polar jets so often observed emanating from quasars, radio galaxies, and other forms of active galactic nuclei.

They were also able to rule out a competing theory: the notion that electrons flung at near light-speed from the central black hole collide with photons from the cosmic microwave background (CMB).  Theoretically, such a collision should boost the CMB photons into the X-ray part of the spectrum.  But the X-ray signatures did not match this scenario, effectively eliminating it from contention.

Whatever the case, it’s safe to assume there aren’t any inhabitable planets circling the supermassive black hole of Pictor A, and that even Matthew McConaughey would think twice before exploring the environment of this monster.

From the Earth to the Moon:

Rockets, Satellites and Other (UFO) Spacecraft

by Franz W. Nentwich

 ***************************************** 

 Abstract

Major satellite launches have often been followed by UFO sightings soon afterwards, for example, after Sputnik I and II in 1957.   In Ottawa, Canada, UFOs were seen on March 3, 1969 after the Apollo 9 launch, on June, 5, 1969 after a suborbital (failed launch) to the moon by the Soviet Union, and in July, 1969, as Apollo 11 orbited the Moon. These correlations, among others, suggest that major rocket launches, especially those extending out of near-Earth orbits, tend to stimulate UFO activity.

Introduction

Major rocket launches have often been followed by UFO activity, possibly coordinated from outposts on the Moon (Lorenzen, 1966, pp. 266, 267).

By 1969, however, there were so many rocket launches and UFO sightings that any attempt to establish correlations between them would be difficult.  A decade earlier, there were fewer objects in orbit, though many suborbital flights were still taking place in the late 1940s.  To establish the proper sequence of events in this article, Universal Time (designated Z for Zulu) will be given, as well as some local (24 hour time) equivalents (in parentheses). 

Following the launch of Sputnik 1 from Baikonur, which the Encyclopedia Astronomica (1957) recorded as onOctober 4, 1957 at 19:28 Z (Oct. 5, 0:28 local time), Lorenzen (1966, p. 65) reported that a 23 year-old farmer inBrazil, Antonio Villas-Boas, observed a nearby area “...lighted as if by a giant searchlight” at about 11 p.m. local time (Oct. 6, 02:00 Z).

This observation was therefore made 30 hours, 32 minutes after the Sputnik I launch.  Subsequently, while plowing a field on October 14, the same farmer saw a cartwheel-shaped UFO about 122 meters (400 feet) off the ground, an observation suggesting a UFO for the earlier Oct. 5 source of light.

UFO activity spiked after the launches of Sputnik I and II, as numerous reports in the NICAP 1957 Sighting Wave Chronology (2014) reveal.  Only 1.5 to 4 hours after the Sputnik II launch on Nov. 3, 1957 at 2:30 Z, for instance, a glowing egg-shaped object landed on roads and stalled car engines near Levelland, Texas; on Nov. 4, a UFO was tracked for 20 minutes on radar and was seen by two people at Kirtland Airforce Base (Hynek, 1972; Encyclopedia Astronomica, 1957).

Also on Nov. 4, 1957 at 05:03 Z a large disc-shaped UFO with an orange glow descended at an army garrison atItaipu, near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and produced a wave of heat that struck two soldiers, causing first- and second degree burns to 10 percent of their bodies (Lorenzen, 1966).

In some UFO cases, the time lag between a rocket launch and a UFO sighting has been relatively short.  

For example, a UFO tracked a Polaris missile during test firing on January 10, 1961; similarly in 1964 soon after another launch, a UFO intercepted an Atlas rocket (Dolan, 2000; Fox & Coleman, 2007).  Most surprisingly, perhaps, only four minutes after launch of a rocket carrying China’s first female astronaut on June 16, 2012, an infrared video camera recorded two glowing UFOs nearby (Good, 2013).  If it is assumed that UFO responses are coordinated from a Moon base, then launches made from the side of the Earth hidden from UFOs on the Moon would not be as rapid (and the launch site would be obscured), as if they were made from the side of the Earth facing the Moon.  These relationships could explain different time lags between rocket launches and UFO sightings, though this would assume that the UFOs were all stationed on the Moon at launch times.

Apollo 9 Test of Lunar Module Docking Maneuvers in Earth Orbit

 ****************************************** 

March 4, 1969, Ottawa, Canada

Less than 34 hours after launch of Apollo 9 on March 3, 1969 at 15:00 Z , a round UFO was observed onParliament Hill by seven (7) RCMP officers between 0:45 and 2:34 Z.  Twenty-six minutes later another RCMPofficer reported two red flashing lights in the sky above Sussex Drive without any associated engine noise(Bondarchuck, 1979).

June 4 to 6, 1969 Rocket Launches

In addition to the three rocket launches on June 5 described by Nentwich (2008), there was a fourth launch, namely aSoviet Luna mission to the Moon, which failed to achieve orbit

.http://www.ispyspace.com/1967_to_1974.html

Although this launch was excluded from Clark’s (1977) list of Luna launch failures, Greg Kennedy, compiler of the online “Chronology of Human Space Exploration Part 5: 1967-1974”  informed me in an email on Oct. 17, 2008that the ‘Mission Planner’s Manual Proton Commercial Launch Vehicle’ document, printed in 1989 by the Space Commerce Corporation in Houston listed the launch on June 5th, with the note that the second stage failed, while the 1996 TRW Space Log listed the same launch as June 4th, also pointing out that it failed to orbit.

http://www.ispyspace.com/1967_to_1974.html

The ideal time for this launch, as given in a “1969 June 1 – Soviet lunar plans”, would have been June 3, 1969 at 23:18 Z, and because Soviet lunar launches were usually within an hour of the ideal time, as noted by Clark (1977), an early June 4th launch seems to be the most likely. In fact, Sokolov (2001) confirmed the Luna launch on June 4 or earlier, stating that because of an electrical problem (p. 461) “...the upper stage could not fire. The complex fell into the Pacific Ocean.”

In addition, he pointed out that another rocket was launched after Luna on June 4, 1969 which reached a height of only 100 metres, at which point it exploded with a power of about ten (10) kilotons!  

Editor's note: The Hiroshima A-Bomb blast equaled approximately 20 kilotons

June 5, 1969 UFOs in South and North America

A resident of Uba, Brazil was driving in a car with six passengers when at 09:00 Z their car was “...pursued by a bright orange-colored object which flew around in circles above them, producing interference with the car radio and stopping the engine for a few moments” (Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, 1971, p. 16; UFOCAT, 2005).  In addition, several witnesses also observed a UFO after 20:00 Z at a lake 60 km west of Quebec City, Canada,

http://thecid.com/ufo/uf09/uf9/099250.htm

Between 22:50 and 23:00 Z, more than 50 witnesses reported UFOs in Iowa (Southern Illinoisan, June 6, 1969; Muscatine Journal, June 6, 1969).  

Dr. J. Allen Hynek “stated he understood the phenomenon was flashing silver, orange and copper colored, with chunks flying off of it”, while other reports told of two or three objects with bluish-green wakes (Southern Illinoisan, June 6, 1969, p. 14).

Dr. Hynek suggested that the objects could have been parts of a re-entering Russian satellite, although an official with the Space Defence Center stated that “…it was highly unlikely that the objects were from a satellite because one is rarely placed in an east-west orbit.” (Daily Capital News, June 7, 1969, p. 1)

The IOWA Fireball of June 76th, 1969

Iowa Fireball seen in above link- June 2014

 ******************************************

An FAA official stated that sightings at Riverside and Iowa City, were “...variously described as a bright ball of fire, flash[ing] and cigar-shaped objects” with “Colors…from silver to blue and blue-green” (Cedar Rapids Gazette, June 6, 1969, p. 4).  The azimuth of the ground path of the “Iowa Fireball” on the map of plate 4 in Klass (1975) was about 272º, equivalent to an inclination of 178º, and therefore larger than the maximum reported inclination of any satellite launched up to that time.

Here it should be noted that the ground path of a satellite is determined by the inclination of its orbit, which is the angle between the Earth’s equatorial plane and a spacecraft’s orbital plane (major axis).  Of the thousands of launch-related items in the NORAD Catalog (2012) prior to June 7, 1969, with the exception of 13 which did not re-enter the atmosphere in the June 4 to 6 time interval, the maximum inclinations were all less than 121º, corresponding to azimuths larger than 329º but less than 90º.

Three (3) satellites were expected to re-enter June 5 or 6 but would not cross the sky from east to west (Southern Illinoisan, Friday, June 6, 1969, p. 14).

A Soviet rocket body (NORAD ID 3223) with an inclination of 64.8º (25.2º azimuth) re-entered the atmosphere onJune 5, as listed in the NORAD Catalog (2012), but obviously did not have the east to west ground path of the “Iowa fireball”.

Cosmos 284 had an inclination of 62.3º (azimuth 27.7º), re-entering the atmosphere on June 6 at 5:46 Z, making a soft landing in the Soviet Union (Fairbanks Daily News, June 6, 1969, p. 1; NORAD Catalog, 2012)

www.zarya.info/Diaries/1969.php  

For all of these reasons, Cosmos 284 was not responsible for the “Iowa fireball” and, in o summary, neither a rocket launch nor a re-entering satellite explains the “Iowa fireball”.

This leaves us with the only other possibilities:

Meteors or UFOs

 ****************************************

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory concluded that the “Iowa fireball” had been a meteor, and members of its Meteorite Recovery Project proposed a landing site in southern Iowa (Blue Book files, 1969; Cedar Rapids Gazette, June 7, 1969).  However, the following descriptions from several witnesses should be considered before drawing such a conclusion. For instance, a pilot, a teenager and a woman described the object “…as blue and circular, with no wings or indication of a propulsion system…flying east to west above the runway at an altitude of less than 1,000 feet” and with a speed between 483 and 644 km/hr (300 and 400 mph) (Cedar Rapids Gazette, June 6, 1969, p. 3).

A witness north in St. Louis, Missouri reported three objects in a line heading WNW for 60 to 80 seconds, with shapes resembling elongate badminton shuttlecocks (Blue Book files, 1969, p. 14 - 21). A student in East St. Louis, Illinois saw three bright self-luminous, lime-green oval objects beside each other about 805 meters (half a mile) away, decreasing in altitude from 518 to 457 meters (1,700 to 1,500 feet), whereas another witness saw four objects in a line heading west, one of which was oval-shaped with a blue-silver tail (Blue Book Files, 1969, p. 24 – 42).

Several other witnesses saw one of the objects speeding up relative to the other two, while a civilian 53 km (33 miles) northwest of downtown Chicago saw a single tear-drop shaped object (silvery-aqua color), with a tail 10 times as long as the diameter of the head, and with a piece falling upwards from the object as it traveled silently straight and level (Blue Book Files, 1969).

The most easterly sighting was made by a pilot and two other persons in an airplane near Greenfield, Indiana, who, for about 30 seconds saw a single object with an almost metallic “face” south of Greenfield heading west (Blue Book files, 1969, pp. 47-50).   Its trajectory was south of the one shown in plate 4 of Klass (1975), such that different objects were travelling along separate parallel paths.

To summarize, the object(s) had the following characteristics, some of which were not meteor-like: a silvery metallic appearance; flying without being heard; one “piece” moving upwards; one object speeding up relative to the other two; a change in relative positions of the objects from one after another to one beside the other; visibility in flight for over a minute; apparent shapes resembling either a tear-drop, oval, cone, bullet or badminton shuttlecock.

The most compelling evidence for a UFO interpretation, however, was described in a UFO Investigator (1972) article, based on a sighting by an FAA controller and several pilots, who were flying east near St. Louis, Missouri on June 5.  Interestingly, a drawing of a side view of the object in that article resembles the side view of the Roswell UFOillustrated in Randle and Schmitt (1994).  The UFO was described in this 1972 article as hydroplane-shaped, 18 to 20 feet long, 7 to 8 feet thick and 12 to 14 feet across at the back end. Viewed from the side, such an object could have had an elongate teardrop shape, but seen at different angles from a distance, it would have had different shapes.

June 6, 1969 in the West End of Ottawa, Canada

On June 6, 1969 between 2:00 and 2:45 Z, and most likely at about 2:30 Z (June 5, 22:30), a UFO about 60 m long (Fig. 1) was observed in the west end of Ottawa (Nentwich, 2008).  Its surface was not uniformly reflecting light, but was partly covered with a black film.

At about the same time in Ottawa, UFOs appeared over Parliament Hill, after which they travelled to Uplands Airport (Bondarchuk 1979).

July 18, 1969 about 321,861 km into the flight of Apollo 11

Buzz Aldrin wrote that with the help of an on-board telescope, a UFO was seen pacing their spacecraft; the UFO resembled “a series of ellipses, but when you made it real sharp it was sort of L-shaped”

July 20, 1969, in Ottawa, Canada

An employee of the National Research Council, as well as some of her neighbors and a police officer, reported a UFOin Hull (now Gatineau just north of Ottawa) between 11:00 and 1:00 Z.  The NRC employee stated that it was “A single object, shaped like a watermelon, glowing brightly with an orange hue”... that “Passed slowly overhead and then travelled at great speed across the Ottawa River to the Parliament Bldgs”, over which it hovered (NRC File N69-128, 1969).  This sighting was on the same day as the Apollo 11 Moon landing.

Apollo Flights and UFO Sightings

Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA communications systems, quoted in Good (1988, p. 385), stated that “...all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin....Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who ordered absolute silence.”  Further evidence supporting this claim includes an analysis of Apollo 16 film by Nakamura (2003, p. 409),who described an enormous domed disc travelling 20 to 40 km/second and wobbling like a leaf falling from a tree.

In addition, indirect evidence presented by Good (2013) suggests that after landing the lunar module on the Moon, theApollo 11 astronauts observed large UFOs nearby.  A summary of tentative evidence concerning life on the Moon, including UFO activity there, has been considered by Proud (2013, pp. 279-356), based on many sources in the literature.

Conclusions

UFOs appearing after major rocket launches at or near the launch site or even following the rockets leaves little doubt that such launches stimulate UFO activity.  In some cases, however, UFOs have appeared large distances from the launch sites, as in the Texas UFO sightings after the Sputnik 2 launch.  These cases are less convincing though the appearance of a UFO shortly after a launch when there were only a few objects in orbit is still significant.  The reports of UFOs in Ottawa after the Apollo 9 and Luna launches, and on the day of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, considered together, do not seem entirely coincidental, especially if one includes the Apollo 11 sightings on the way to the Moon.

It may be that UFO reports correlate more strongly with artificial satellites sent by humans beyond near Earth orbits than they do with orbital or suborbital flights.  On the other hand, UFOs were also reported on dates when there were no Apollo flights.  For instance, a UFO on April 22, 1969 about 25 miles east of Ottawa was seen flying along a power line while another was seen on May 11, 1969 on Allumette Island west of Ottawa (Bray, 1979; Rutkowski, 2006).

Throwing a tight spiral to a receiver downfield isn't so different from trying to get a rocket to fly smoothly through the atmosphere.

Or at least these tasks are similar when viewed from an aerodynamic perspective: Both present questions about how air flows over the surface of an object as the object is hurtled from one point to another through the atmosphere.

So perhaps it's not a coincidence that Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California — where Super Bowl 50 will take place this Sunday (Feb. 7) — isn't the only place in California where people are studying the best way to throw a football. Only a few miles away is the NASA Ames Research Center, where engineers can use wind tunnels, water channels and other tools to study the aerodynamics of rockets, airplanes — and even footballs. [Our 5 Favorite Super Bowl Commercials with a Space Twist]

In Ames' Experimental Aero-Physics Branch lab, scientists use a fluid dynamics chamber to recreate the conditions of an object flying through the air. The chamber has the bonuses of keeping the object in one place, and showing engineers the normally invisible motion of the air around the object. For example, using lasers and smoke, it is possible for scientists to see how the air curls and swirls as it flows off the back of a football, just as it might when the football leaves the quarterback's hand and heads toward the receiver.

"What we are looking for in the smoke patterns is, at what speed the smoke patterns suddenly change," Rabi Mehta, chief of the Experimental Aero-Physics Branch at Ames, said in a statement.

One of the major factors in determining how well an object flies through the air is the so-called "boundary layer" — a thin layer of air around the object that can act like a buffer, letting the air slide over the object and thus making it more aerodynamic, according to NASA. If the boundary layer is torn off the object, friction can slow down the object or cause it to wobble.

"It is the state and behavior of that layer that is critical to the performance of the ball," Mehta said. "The materials used, the ball's surface roughness and its [weight] distribution determine its aerodynamics."

A golf ball, for example, is dimpled for a very important aerodynamic reason: The dimples make the boundary layer more turbulent, which keeps it wrapped around the ball longer. A smooth golf ball loses its boundary layer faster, and only travels about half the distance as a dimpled ball, the statement said.

A football isn't dimpled, but it is "shaped like a wing and more aerodynamic than a round ball, so the flow [of air] is very different," Mehta said.

"When a quarterback throws the football, he ideally wants to throw a tight spiral with high rotation rate to help stabilize the ball as it flies through the air," he said. "This produces lower drag than a wobbling ball, so it will get there faster."

These types of studies can also provide insight into why a baseball curves, or why a football punter should try to kick the ball so that it rotates around a horizontal axis.

Mehta has spoken to athletes about the aerodynamics of the balls used in their respective sports, and says the athletes often seem to understand exactly what he's talking about. Even though they haven't studied aerodynamics in a lab, their experience on the field has taught them lessons about how a ball moves through the air. Talking to nonscientists about the aerodynamics of footballs and other sports equipment can also be a way to get them interested in science.

"Sports provide a great opportunity to introduce the next generation of researchers to our field of aerodynamics by showing them something they can relate to," Mehta said.

Time-Traveling TV: LG Super Bowl Ad Features 'Man from the Future'

The Super Bowl commercial for LG's new ultra-thin TV has a decidedly sci-fi bent.

The minute-long ad, which will air Sunday (Feb. 7) during Super Bowl 50 between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos, stars Irish actor Liam Neeson as "The Man from the Future," who travels back in time to tell a younger version of himself (played by Neeson's son, Micheal) about the coming revolution in viewing technology.

That revolution, according to the commercial, is the G6 OLED TV, a soon-to-be-launched product that LG representatives say is as thin as four credit cards stacked on top of one another. 

The ad's executive producer is Ridley Scott, the director of such prominent sci-fi films as "Alien" (1979), "Blade Runner" (1982), "Prometheus" (2012) and 2015's "The Martian," which was recently nominated for six Academy Awards. Scott's son Jake directed the new "Man from the Future" LG ad.

You can watch the commercial on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzLfPx-8OuM. LG has also released a 4.5-minute-long "behind the scenes" video about the new ad, which is available on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Ss-KZcYoU
