Nasa Bombs the Moon with no Visible Flash

Video Source: JoetheElectrician

A pair of NASA spacecraft smashed into the moon at twice the speed of a bullet, as part of a mission aimed at blasting up signs of water ice.
Pictures of the impact zone were beamed back live to Earth, but the video imagery did not show any signs of a flash.
"It's hard to tell what we saw there," said Michael Bicay, director of science at NASA's Ames Research Center in California.
The first crash took place at 7:31 a.m. ET. That’s when an empty rocket that weighed 2.2 tons hit the crater Cabeus. It was expected to create a crater about 66 feet (20 meters) wide, which is half the length of an Olympic pool. The blast should have kicked up a plume of lunar debris about six miles (10 kilometers) high.
Scientists hoped an analysis of the debris would confirm the theory that water — a key resource if people are going to go back to the moon — is hidden below the barren moonscape.
Trailing behind the rocket was the lunar probe LCROSS, short for Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite and pronounced L-Cross. For four minutes, the LCROSS shepherding spacecraft sent Earth live pictures of the rocket stage's expected impact zone in multiple wavelengths — and then plunged into the crater itself.
Telescopes focus on crash siteTelescopes around the world — including the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope — aimed their cameras at the moon to capture views of the dust-up.
At least one telescope team, at the MMT Observatory in Arizona, reported spotting a bright debris plume. The visible-light images sent back by LCROSS itself showed no sign of such a plume, although Bicay noted that evidence of a crash did turn up in thermal imagery.
LCROSS project manager Dan Andrews said it was possible that the lighting was bad for the spacecraft's images, and that those images needed to be tweaked to make the debris plume easier to see. The raw images could have been essentially “gray against black,” he said.
“What matters for us is: What is the nature of the stuff that was kicked up going in?” Andrews said. “All nine instruments were working fine and we received good data.”
The data will be analyzed for weeks to come. If the analysis shows no signs of water, that would run counter to recent findings suggesting that lunar soil, also known as regolith, contains more water ice than previously thought.
However, Bicay said there could be other explanations for the absence of a water signal. For example, it may be that the water is unevenly distributed — even within the permanently shadowed polar craters that are thought to be the best prospects for ice mining. Bicay said LCROSS' scientists may have come across a situation familiar to Texas oil wildcatters.
"We may have hit a dry hole rather than a wet hole," he said.
Mission ends after mere monthsLaunched in LCROSS and its bigger rocket stage launched together last June and only separated Thursday night, the last major milestone before the big crash.
The lunar demolition derby was broadcast live on NASA Television and on the Internet. NASA reported that as many as 391,000 Internet users were watching the webcast concurrently. That made it the space agency's third biggest Web video event, behind the space shuttle Discovery's launch and landing in 2005.

Museums and observatories across the country hosted early-morning LCROSS gatherings, but in most cases, the events didn't live up to advance expectations. At Los Angeles' Griffith Observatory, people who got up early to look for the crash threw confused looks at each other instead.
Telescope demonstrator Jim Mahon called the celestial show "anticlimactic.”
“I was hoping we’d see a flash or a flare,” he said.
The LCROSS probe cost $79 million and was an add-on to a bigger NASA satellite, known as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which is now circling the moon.

How to Watch NASA's Probe Smack the Moon

By Joe RaoSPACE.com Skywatching Columnistposted: 06 October 200903:16 pm ET

Get ready for a unique cosmic collision! Early this coming Friday morning (Oct. 9), NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) will end its mission with a bang — literally.

Currently carrying with it the upper stage of the rocket that launched it on its way to the moon on June 18, the game plan is to send that spent rocket motor on a course to smash into the lunar surface. But just not anywhere on the lunar surface, but to a thoroughly scrutinized crater called Cabeus that lies near the moon's south pole and is enveloped in perpetual darkness. The hoped-for resultant effects will be to find hidden water ice frozen inside the crater.

And for seasoned skywatchers here on Earth, it should also produce a visible cloud of ejected material. However, only knowledgeable amateur astronomers with the right equipment will be a able to detect the event. Others can watch the event live on NASA TV.

Smackdown!

The general belief among astronomers is that over the last few billion years, the moon has been bombarded by countless numbers of comets. The water from most of these comets completely sublimated away but if any settled at the bottom of a crater near the moon's poles, these permanently shadowed regions can keep the water from disappearing, remaining as ice for a very long time.

Cabeus is a relatively flat crater about 60 miles in diameter on the moon's south pole that scientists believe may be one of those special cases that might hold water ice in its perpetually shadowed top soil. NASA initially selected a different target for LCROSS, the nearby crater of Cabeus A, but switched to the larger Cabeus because data suggested it had a higher likelihood of containing hidden water ice.

The impact is scheduled to occur this Friday, Oct. 9 at 11:30 UT. That's 7:30 a.m. EDT; 4:30 a.m. PDT. To convert Universal Time to your local time, go here.

Impact will happen less than 10 hours after the spent LCROSS Centaur rocket motor is released and its Shepherding Spacecraft maneuvers into position to trail the Centaur en route to the lunar surface. The 5,000-pound Centaur, is expected to slam into Cabeus at a sharp angle at a speed of 5,600 mph (9,010 kph).

If all goes according to schedule, the Shepherding vehicle, carrying nine science payloads, will follow the Centaur's plunge into the moon, beaming back data live to the Earth. Like a bullet hitting sand, the Centaur's explosive collision is expected to create a crater roughly 60 or 70 feet wide and perhaps as much as 16 feet deep, in the process dredging up approximately 385 tons of lunar dust and soil — enough to fill nearly 18 school buses. In addition to recording the collision, the Shepherding Satellite will fly through the regolith plume thrown up by the collision, just before it too slams into the lunar surface some four minutes later, kicking up its own smaller plume of debris.

But before it's sacrificed in the cause of science, the 1,500-pound Shepherding Spacecraft will utilize its specialized sensors and will look for water's telltale chemical signature within the larger debris plume created by the Centaur, possibly in the form of ice, hydrocarbons or hydrated materials.

How to watch

NASA wants the amateur astronomer community to join in a "citizen scientist" program. Jennifer Heldmann heads the LCROSS observing campaign. "We would like to have as many eyes and instruments watching the impact as possible because this is the way we'll get the most data and the most information as possible."

Those who live to the west of Mississippi River will have the best opportunity because the sky will still be dark. Those living east of the Mississippi will still have the moon in the sky, but either dawn twilight or — in the case of those living along the Atlantic Seaboard — sunrise will have occurred, making for a much brighter sky background. A dark backdrop will be an important prerequisite, since it's estimated that when the debris plume forms on it will be no brighter than a sixth-magnitude star (the threshold of naked-eye visibility), and quite likely even fainter.

If you want to attempt to see the impact yourself, here are some important points to be aware of:

First, you're going to need a moderately large telescope, somewhere on the order of at least 10 to 12 inches of aperture. Smaller telescopes will probably not be able to do the job and you will definitely not see anything using binoculars. You'll likely need to use magnifications in the 250 to 500-power range to have a legitimate chance of getting a glimpse of the dim impact plume.

Keep in mind that high power dilutes the brightness of an image, as well as aggravates any unsteadiness of detail. As a general rule of thumb that the maximum amount of magnification for any telescope is 50-power per inch of aperture.

"But wait a minute," you may protest, "my telescope comes with a special Barlow lens, that the manufacturer promises will double or even triple the magnification of my eyepiece."

True enough. In fact, that aforementioned 500-power is likely achieved by pushing the scope's highest power eyepiece with that very same Barlow lens, which ultimately will result in a dim, impossibly fuzzy image. If you're a beginner, you need to understand that that using a Barlow lens is similar to enlarging a photograph. The negative — like a telescope's image — contains only so much detail, which can be blown up only so far before all you can see is fuzz! So, if you have a 3-inch department store telescope — even if it is blessed with perfect optics — the claim of 500-power is more than three times the limit of the most practical magnification that it can provide.

The impact will take place at the lunar south pole, or on the lower limb of the moon along the dark portion immediately adjacent to the terminator (the line that separates the illuminated day side and the dark night side of the Moon). Try to keep the very bright sunlit portion of the moon out of the field of view as much as possible.

The plume is expected to be in the shape of a "V" but it will be exceedingly small in size relative to the moon itself. According to NASA's Brian H. Day, the dusty material is only expected to rise about 6 miles (10 km) above the lunar surface. From Earth, that would be equal to about one-quarter of 1 percent of the moon's apparent size or about 5.2 arc seconds.

To try and get an idea of just how large this is, point your telescope toward Jupiter which conveniently shines in the southern part of our current evening sky. Jupiter's disk currently measures 45-arc seconds in diameter; so the dust plume from LCROSS would appear only about 1/9 as large as that!

And the plume — if and when it's visible — will not last very long. The best guesstimates are that it will last no more than 2 minutes.

You can get more detailed viewing tips from NASA here.

Observatories expected to participate in the study include the newly refurbished Hubble Space Telescope, Hawaii's Keck and Gemini telescopes, the Magdelena Ridge and Apache Ridge observatories in New Mexico, the MMT Observatory in Arizona and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) now circling the moon.

Lastly, you can watch the event live here on NASA TV, beginning at 6:30 a.m. EDT/3:30 a.m. PDT.

BRAZIL RELEASED UFO FILES

Two notes here. Today I'll rummage through the many PDFs and pull pictures and post them later on and, right click those PDFs below or you'll find yourself having to find me again since PDFs do not link out to new window without right clicking them open. As of May 04th, Brazilian Government has disclosed over 600 new pages of previously classified documents, covering UFO reports and military investigations from 1970 to 1979, including photos and films, for the first time.The content of this material has now been examined and proved to be very interesting and revelatory of Brazilian official strategy to cover UFO cases, often openly regarded as "from external sources" in these new documents, meaning from outside Earth. The cases covered and the methods used to investigate them by the military are also very significant.On my opinion, the most important material contained in this new declassification are 195 new pages of documents resulted from the Operation Saucer, conducted in the Amazon by the Brazilian Air Force from September to December 1977, that is certainly the biggest *known* official initiative to military investigate UFOs in the world.As I also reported, so far, over 1,400 pages of Brazilian previously classified UFO documents have been released thanks to the efforts of the Brazilian UFO Researchers Committee (CBU), through the campaign UFOs: Freedom of Information Now, started in 2004 and articulated by the Brazilian UFO Magazine. This last one has been the biggest disclosure ever in Brazil.

UFO SIGHTING APRIL 22 08 2AM HERMOSA BEACH CA part 1

Behind The Scenes News Video Re: O'hare International Airport Ufo Sighting

video source: google video

O'Hare International Airport for several minutes before bolting through thick clouds with such intense energy that it left an eerie hole in overcast skies, said some United Airlines employees who observed the phenomenon. Was it an alien spaceship? A weather balloon lost in the airspace over the world's second-busiest airport? A top-secret military craft? Or simply a reflection from lights that played a trick on the eyes? Officials at United professed no knowledge of the Nov. 7 event--which was reported to the airline by as many as a dozen of its own workers--when the Tribune started asking questions recently. But the Federal Aviation Administration said its air traffic control tower at O'Hare did receive a call from a United supervisor asking if controllers had spotted a mysterious elliptical-shaped craft sitting motionless over Concourse C of the United terminal.
No controllers saw the object, and a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said.
The FAA is not conducting a further investigation, Cory said. The theory is the sighting was caused by a "weather phenomenon," she said.The UFO report has sparked some chuckles among controllers in O'Hare tower."To fly 7 million light years to O'Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable," said O'Hare controller and union official Craig Burzych.Some of the witnesses, interviewed by the Tribune, said they are upset that neither the government nor the airline is probing the incident.Whatever the object was, it could have interfered with O'Hare's radar and other equipment, and even created a collision risk, they said.The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (the term that extraterrestrial-watchers nowadays prefer over Unidentified Flying Object) was first seen by a United ramp worker who was directing back a United plane at Gate C17, according to an account the worker provided to the National UFO Reporting Center.The sighting occurred during daylight, about 4:30 p.m., just before sunset.All the witnesses said the object was dark gray and well defined in the overcast skies. They said the craft, estimated by different accounts to be 6 feet to 24 feet in diameter, did not display any lights.Some said it looked like a rotating Frisbee, while others said it did not appear to be spinning. All agreed the object made no noise and it was at a fixed position in the sky, just below the 1,900-foot cloud deck, until shooting off into the clouds.Witnesses shaken by sighting"I tend to be scientific by nature, and I don't understand why aliens would hover over a busy airport," said a United mechanic who was in the cockpit of a Boeing 777 that he was taxiing to a maintenance hangar when he observed the metallic-looking object above Gate C17."But I know that what I saw and what a lot of other people saw stood out very clearly, and it definitely was not an [Earth] aircraft," the mechanic said.One United employee appeared emotionally shaken by the sighting and "experienced some religious issues" over it, one co-worker said.A United manager said he ran outside his office in Concourse B after hearing the report about the sighting on an internal airline radio frequency."I stood outside in the gate area not knowing what to think, just trying to figure out what it was," he said. "I knew no one would make a false call like that. But if somebody was bouncing a weather balloon or something else over O'Hare, we had to stop it because it was in very close proximity to our flight operations."Some joke, others research
The databases of various UFO-watching groups are full of accounts filed by pilots about sightings of unknown aircraft and anomalies that affected navigational equipment onboard planes.Whether any of the UFO incidents are real or merely the result of individual perceptions, some experts say the events pose a potential safety risk to pilots and their passengers."There have been documented cases where safety appears to have been implicated, and more and more we are coming to the point of view that we are dealing with an intelligent phenomenon," said Richard Haines, science director at the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena, a private agency."We must be proactive before an aircraft goes down," said Haines, a former chief of the Space Human Factors Office at NASA's Ames Research Center.
Haines is investigating the O'Hare incident. He said he has determined that no weather balloons were launched in the vicinity of O'Hare on Nov. 7."It's absurd that the military would be conducting aerial test flights" near the airport, Haines said.All the witnesses to the O'Hare event, who included at least several pilots, said they are certain based on the disc's appearance and flight characteristics that it was not an airplane, helicopter, weather balloon or any other craft known to man. United denies UFO report. They're not sure what was hanging out for several minutes in the restricted airspace, but they are upset that no one in power has taken the matter seriously.A United spokeswoman said there is no record of the UFO report. She said United officials do not recall discussion of any such incident."There's nothing in the duty manager log, which is used to report unusual incidents," said United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy. "I checked around. There's no record of anything."The pilots of the United plane being directed back from Gate C17 also were notified by United personnel of the sighting, and one of the pilots reportedly opened a windscreen in the cockpit to get a better view of the object estimated to be hovering 1,500 feet above the ground.The object was seen to suddenly accelerate straight up through the solid overcast skies, which the FAA reported had 1,900-foot cloud ceilings at the time."It was like somebody punched a hole in the sky," said one United employee. Witnesses said they had a hard time visually tracking the object as it streaked through the dense clouds.It left behind an open hole of clear air in the cloud layer, the witnesses said, adding that the hole disappeared within a few minutes.The United employees interviewed by the Tribune spoke on condition of anonymity.Some said they were interviewed by United officials and instructed to write reports and draw pictures of what they observed, and that they were advised by United officials to refrain from speaking about what they saw.Federal agency backtracksLike United, the FAA originally told the Tribune that it had no information on the alleged UFO sighting. But the federal agency quickly reversed its position after the newspaper filed a Freedom of Information Act request.An internal FAA review of air-traffic communications tapes, a step toward complying with the Tribune request, turned up the call by the United supervisor to an FAA manager in the airport tower, Cory said.Cory said the weather might have factored into what the witnesses thought they saw."Our theory on this is that it was a weather phenomenon," she said. "That night was a perfect atmospheric condition in terms of low [cloud] ceiling and a lot of airport lights. When the lights shine up into the clouds, sometimes you can see funny things. That's our take on it."

Disclosure and Obama

Let’s get the easy part out of the way first. UFO’s, some of which are of extraterrestrial origin, exist, and have been engaging earth for decades, if not millennia. Anyone who doubts that statement is either seriously uninformed about the mountain of UFO/ET evidence that keeps surfacing daily, or is in deep denial.
Anyone who immerses themselves in this topic, and thinks about it critically on their own, can only come to one informed conclusion. Those of us who have taken the time to do this are way beyond the debate of whether UFO’s, in the popular vernacular, are real or not. We understand, first and foremost, that these things are neither unidentified by those in the know, nor do they “fly” in the traditional sense of the word.
But why, some may ask, even if the phenomenon is real, is it considered such a big deal? So what, they may argue, if aliens are buzzing around our skies and compromising sovereign air space over countries in every part of the world? They aren’t causing any damage; aren’t threatening us in any perceivable way, don’t appear to want to get involved in earthly affairs, and generally stay at arms length minding their own business. Let’s get on with more important things, right? WRONG. Dead wrong.
“The evidence regarding this phenomenon is clear and overwhelming: It has not been difficult to make a compelling case for the reality of UFO’s per se. What is a greater challenge is elucidating the architecture of secrecy related to UFO’s. But the greatest challenge is explaining the ‘why’. Why all the secrecy? Why a ‘black’ or unacknowledged government within the government? Why hide the UFO/ET subject from public view?”
- Dr. Steven Greer, the world's foremost UFO authority, from his position paper "Understanding UFO Secrecy http://www.disclosureproject.org/ufosecrecy.htm
Unknown to many people who DO understand UFO reality is the connection of this phenomenon to the geo-political power structure of the world, particularly as it applies to the energy situation, and that how acknowledging this reality stands to disrupt the status quo, the 5 trillion dollar per year fossil fuels industry and decades of control by the power elite. The above article is mandatory reading for anyone who wants to connect the dots about the nature of the cover-up, its history and the implications of continued UFO secrecy.
UFO’s have crashed on terra firma. This is also well documented. Their wreckage, as well as their humanoid occupants in a few cases, have been scooped up, taken to secret locations, studied extensively, and back engineered - meaning that their energy generating technology as well as their anti-gravity technology were figured out a long time ago. But instead of sharing this wondrous knowledge, which would free humanity from its dependence on fossil fuels and the misery that accompanies it, with the rest of the world for peaceful purposes, it was militarized behind 17 layers of secrecy, and seen as a way for those in the rising military industrial complex in the 50’s and 60’s to further their growing globalization aspirations.
This, in a nut shell, is what drives UFO secrecy - Fear – but not in the sense of whether or not the world population at large can “handle the truth” about UFO reality, but rather as it applies to the age-old quest for control and the desire for world domination.
Every time a new president takes the oath of office, there is a flurry of anticipation and hope among those in the UFO awareness community that this finally will be the “disclosure president” – the one who will understand the phenomenon enough to end the decades-long truth embargo that has hijacked human evolution, and caused untold indirect suffering to millions of people worldwide. And every four or eight years hopes are dashed when it becomes clear that the new president, just like those before him, is out of the loop, and doesn’t have the “need to know” authority to penetrate the black world of UFO secrecy.
As important as 9-11 Truth is, UFO Disclosure is even more so. For while both of these important hidden truths would expose the ruling elite for who, and what they are, and lead to the end of evil control by these monsters going back hundreds of years to powerful European families, UFO Disclosure would take things a few steps further.
Peaceful cooperation and exchange among our space visitors, and full acknowledgement of their technologies, which are estimated to be millions, and in some cases billions, of years more advanced than our own, would be possible. Some contactees have already reported that these beings, from as many as several hundred different civilizations throughout the cosmos, are here to assist us through the self-destructive adolescent stage of our evolutionary development. Though these contactees maintain that extra-terrestrials regard this world as our responsibility, and that they are not here to interfere or to save us from ourselves, the answers to some of our most pressing problems like ending war and disease, and saving the biosphere from pollution, would most likely emerge from full and open engagement with the space visitors.
Additionally, honest UFO Disclosure would short circuit the elites’ plan for their own form of Disclosure – one wrapped in xenophobia for the purpose of furthering their own sick agenda of global control. According to Dr. Greer, there is also ample evidence gathered for his Disclosure Project http://www.disclosureproject.org/ of a planned false flag alien attack from outer space to be rolled out at just the right time when the people of earth need to be rallied behind those ready to protect them and thwart such an attack. If 9-11 worked so well in providing a pretext for a phony “war on terror”, think of what could happen with a phony “war on the aliens”.
The Obama administration, though already perceived by some to be controlled by the same anti-Disclosure forces that have existed since the time of Truman, has shown a reason for a glimmer of hope. His Jan 21, 2009 memorandum clearly supports the Freedom of Information Act, with more transparency and less secrecy in government, which some see as an indication he could force this issue. John Podesta, who has already played a role in the Obama administration’s selection of key people, was an outspoken advocate for UFO Disclosure under Clinton, and is on public record for saying as much.

UFO researcher holds key to Troodos mystery

A British UFO researcher may hold a vital clue that could help prove a flying saucer crashed into the Troodos mountains 35 years ago. Gary Heseltine, the editor of the popular UFO Monthly magazine, has taken possession of several items of unidentified debris collected by a former British soldier who claims to have witnessed a UFO fall to earth in 1973. In his detailed account, Corporal Tom Clarke, who was part of a six man British Army unit on a late night patrol recalled what happened when spotted strange lights in the sky. “We were all awoken at about 2am by a brilliant bluish dazzling bright light in the sky, what happened next is hard to explain. There was not an explosion, but we were all hit by a shockwave and fell flat to the ground. The light just disappeared or went out,” Clarke recalled. The team of dazed soldiers quickly found the crash site which was located some 200 metres down the mountain and additional military personal were called in to investigate. The soldiers were ordered to collect debris and place it into black plastic bags; Corporal Clarke managed to conceal some small pieces of golden tinted foil from amongst the wreckage – which is now in the hands of UFO Magazine. “After what seemed like hours a halt was called and we were all lined up and told that under no circumstances were we to talk about what we had been doing and that we were forbidden to take anything from the site under threat of Court Martial. “We were then all taken from the area by helicopter and flown to Alexander Barracks in Dhekelia where we were interviewed separately.I was asked to describe exactly what I had seen and was warned again not to discuss with anyone the events that had occurred.” Soon afterwards all six men who witnessed the crash were posted to different foreign locations and nothing more was heard about events of that night in 1973-- until now. Gary Heseltine is convinced that Clarke has given a credible and genuine account of the mysterious events of 1973.

Bad Astronomy and Ufos

From: A Different Perspective Blog
Here’s something that I find incredibly amusing. An expert in one subject being asked an opinion in an related subject and then answering the question with misinformation. You would think that a scientist would want to know the facts before he made a claim that is so easily refuted.
I’m thinking here of Phil Plait and his Bad Astronomy column in which he talked about UFOs just a couple of days ago. He was suggesting that when he lectured, he was often asked if he believed in aliens and flying saucers. His answer was, "Yes and no."
He meant, quite clearly, and he did explain it, that he believed there was life on other planets, mainly those outside the Solar System and that he didn’t believe we were being visited. His reasoning? He wrote:
Amateur astronomers, of course. They are dedicated observers, out every night peering at the sky. If The Truth Is Out There, then amateur astronomers would be reporting far and away the vast majority of UFOs.
But they don’t. Why not? Because they understand the sky! [Emphasis in original] They know when a twinkling light is Venus, or a satellite, or a military flare, or a hot air balloon, and so they don’t report it.
That, to me, is the killer argument that aliens aren’t visiting us. If they were, the amateur astronomers would spot them.
The problem here is that astronomers, both professional and amateur have reported UFOs, and if we add in atmospheric scientists, we increase the pool of those who understand the sky and who have reported UFOs.
Examples you say?
Certainly. The one that springs immediately to mind is Clyde Tombaugh who was credited with discovering the now dwarf planet, Pluto. In 1949, at 10:45, Tombaugh, his wife and his mother-in-law saw something strange in the night sky. The full report is now housed at the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies in Chicago, and I have held the original report in my hands (and I wonder what that document would bring on eBay?).
Tombaugh wrote, "I happened to be looking at the zenith... when suddenly I spied a geometrical group of faint bluish-green rectangles of light... As the group moved south-southeasterly, the individual rectangles became foreshortened, their space of formation smaller... and their intensity duller, fading from view at about 35 degrees above the horizon... My wife thought she saw a faint connecting glow across the structure."
I’m sure that we’re about to hear that Dr. Donald Menzel, the UFO debunker and critic of anyone who suggested that any UFOs are anything other than misidentifications or hoaxes, was able to solve the sighting. He suggested that "a low, thin layer of haze or smoke reflected the lights of a distant house or some other multiple source."
Tombaugh, who saw the objects replied to Menzel, who didn’t see them, writing, "I doubt that the phenomenon was any terrestrial reflection, because in that case some similarity to it should have appeared many times... nothing of the kind has ever appeared before or since."
Well, a UFO sighting by one astronomer does not make the complete case, so let’s take a look at that paragon of scientific investigation, the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects now almost universally called the Condon Committee. They, of course, didn’t bother with their own research, but quoted from Project Blue Book Report No. 8 dated 31 December 1952.
The Blue Book astronomical consultant (which they don’t name but everyone today knows it was Dr. J. Allen Hynek, seen here) interviewed 44 astronomers about their attitudes about UFOs and found, not surprisingly, that most were completely indifferent to UFOs, or at best, mildly interested. Only eight said they were very interested.
The important point here is that five of them, according to Hynek, "made sightings of one sort or another. This is a higher percentage than among the populace at large. Perhaps this is to be expected since astronomers do, after all, watch the skies."
Hynek said that when he told these astronomers that there were some cases that were highly interesting and in which there was no easy solution, their interest was "almost immediately aroused."
This, of course, goes back to the original comment that amateur astronomers don’t see flying saucers and if they don’t, then there simply can’t be anything to them. But here we’re talking about the professionals, who confided in Hynek because he was a colleague. Hynek, because of his position with Project Blue Book had some inside knowledge about UFOs and he was taking the whole thing seriously.
Hynek, in his report added another comment that explains part of this perception that astronomers don’t see UFOs. Hynek noted, "And certainly another contributing factor to their desire not to talk about these things is their overwhelming fear of publicity. One headline in the nation’s papers to the effect that ‘Astronomer Sees Flying Saucer’ would be enough to brand the astronomer as questionable among his colleagues."
So now we learn that astronomers do see UFOs and they do not report them for fear of professional ridicule. I heard one professional astronomer, in the 1970s, when asked what he thought of Hynek’s work reply, "Allen always wanted to discover a new constellation."
What that tells us is that Hynek’s interviews of two decades earlier were still true in the 1970s, and we know that it is true today. We still have the professional scientists making pronouncements on the topic without benefit of personal knowledge. They are all too willing to dismiss the topic without bothering to learn the facts because, to do so, they would have to wade through oceans of ill-informed skeptical comment, such as Menzel’s dismissal of Tombaugh’s sighting.
But let’s ask one other question. When does anecdotal testimony become scientific observation? When does the training of the person making those observations suggest some sort of expertise? Does a pilot, military or commercial, with tens of thousands of hours in the cockpit, who is familiar with what is in the sky, make anecdotal statements or refined scientific commentary?
What about the use of instrumentation? Charles Moore (seen here), the man who claims to have launched the balloon array that explains the Roswell UFO crash has his own, unexplained UFO sighting. On April 24, 1949 Moore and four Navy technicians in New Mexico were tracking a weather balloon using a theodolite that consisted of a 25-power telescope equipped to provide readings on vertical and horizontal bearings. Given his observations as it passed in front of a mountain range, he estimated the UFO was traveling at 18,000 mph, before it disappeared in a sharp climb.
Here was a man who was familiar with the sky, who watched the object through a theodolite so that he could make educated estimates of the object’s ability, and who reported this to Project Blue Book. The sighting is labeled as "unidentified."
Menzel, of course, knew that this couldn’t be anything extraordinary. According to him he could identify the object. In a conversation with Moore, Menzel said that it was no object at all but a mirage, an atmospheric reflection of the true balloon, making it appear as if there were two objects in the sky instead of one. He was so sure of this that he told Moore about the solution.
Moore, however, describes himself as an atmospheric physicist and considers himself as qualified as Menzel to discuss the dynamics of the atmosphere. And, according to Moore in an interview I conducted on El Paso radio station KTSM, the weather conditions were not right for the creation of mirages that day. Since Moore was on the scene, and since his training qualified him to make judgements about the conditions of the atmosphere, his conclusions are more important than Menzel’s wild speculations.
Moore is no fan of the extraterrestrial, as evidenced by some of his statements about the Roswell case and UFOs to various writers, including me. But, his sighting stands as one that should be counted as a scientific observation rather than as mere anecdotal testimony.
I could go on, but what’s the point. I have refuted the original idea that astronomers do not see UFOs. I have provided the documentation for this claim, and for those interested in Moore’s sighting, it is housed in the Project Blue Book files. Only the names have been removed, but we can, in most cases, put those names back in. In my Project Blue Book - Exposed, I have a listing of all the Blue Book unidentified cases.
So, now that we know that astronomers do see UFOs and some even report them, where do we go? These scientists are familiar with the sky, they understand what is in the sky, but sometimes they see things that are extraordinary and that do not fit into the nice little categories we have created for them. Sometimes, you could say, they see flying saucers.

Are Ufos, Aliens and Ghosts Becoming More Popular In Belief Than God?

Believers in UFOs, aliens and ghosts outnumber those who follow mainstream religions, a survey has found.

By Urmee Khan



While 54 per cent of people believe in God, 58 per cent believe in the supernatural.
Researchers found women were more likely to believe in the supernatural than men, and were more likely to visit a medium.
Nearly a quarter of the 3,000 questioned by researchers claimed they had an encounter with the paranormal.
Some 37 per cent said aliens and ghosts were the basis of their belief system.
The study, to mark the DVD release of X Files: I Want to Believe, conflicts with another report that showed 68.5 per cent of the general UK population described themselves as believers .
Files released in October revealed cases of passenger jets nearly colliding with UFOs and reports of alien abduction which have been logged by the Ministry of Defence.
The 19 files, disclosed by the National Archives which date from 1986 to 1992, show the extensive records of strange sightings by members of the public and unexplained radar images from air traffic control.
In the files, the military admitted the sighting in April 1991 could not be explained, having ruled out a British or American missile.
It concluded: "In the absence of any clear evidence which could be used to identify the object, it is our intention to treat this sighting like that of any other Unidentified Flying Object."

Who Prevents Disclosure

Glenn Gould November 13 2008

Motivations
In determining the motivations for the continuing secrecy about their extraterrestrial associations, it is easy for us to assign human governmental and corporate participants that of greed and power lust. But how should we interpret the silence of our visitors themselves? What particular insight do we have into extraterrestrial behavior that might give us some idea of their ulterior motives for associating with our planet through such a continuous, clandestine and covert manner?
While the obvious duplicity and deceitfulness of our own governments and corporations does not surprise us, the fact that our visitors choose to associate with us only through them may be an indication of either their perceptive abilities in general or their ulterior motives.
We Have Never Been Alone
Researchers and students of alien intervention in human history have developed evidence that the visitors are not strangers to this planet. It may be that these alien visitors are our ancestors or progenitors [1]. The Vatican's chief astronomer, Father Jose Gabriel Funes [2], has suggested that the visitors are simply our brothers. Regardless of our familiar relationship, we must assume that the visitors know more about human behavior than their seemingly innocent and naive choice of diplomatic liaison may suggest.
Are we to assume that an advanced civilization has stumbled upon earth, and has, as part of its normal scientific protocols, revealed itself to the ruling classes of this variegated planet, and has passed revolutionary scientific and technological materiel to the reigning super-powers? Has the same advanced species that guided our evolution from Neolithic times decided to ally itself with the military industrial complex in an act of good faith and honesty? Was it simply bested by our political shenanigans? Are we to believe that now this alien benefactor is having difficulty extricating itself from these relationships and agreements, and only wishes to make itself known to the good people of earth? Is all that is standing in its way merely the entrenched and violent human leaders of this planet?
Perhaps we should rather assume that this secrecy is, by implication, attributable to the visitors themselves, and that their true motives and designs for this planet may be at least as unpalatable as those of their local tetrarchs to date in this truth embargo. For even an imbecilic marketing major could, with appropriate technology, inundate our planet, through its ubiquitous communication channels and resources, with the simple truth that they are here and are our friends [3]. Our visitor's silence may rather be indicative of the true nature of their advances.
We are relatively certain that there are a number of species of non-ordinary sentient life form visiting, or showing up, on earth today. These people are technologically superior to ordinary humans. We perceive that they have been involved with the human condition as far back as we can see, and we find that some of these species have had a hand in our creation [4]. We can also perceive the hand of these people in the development of our social norms, governments, value systems, science and ethics. Acknowledging the persistent presence of these people clarifies a number of mysteries on our planet and in our history.
These people, or similar types, were involved with the ancients and were most likely responsible for the very early and advanced cultures of Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and possibly Egypt [5]. It was their presence on earth that gave us legends of Mu, Atlantis, Lemuria and Shangri-La - the utopian dreams. Societal divisions and religious development of seven millennia are traceable to these people and thus the entire path of human evolution and cultural divergence are in no small part the long work and practice of these people.
Seeing that we have cooperatively made such a mess of this beautiful place already, that their life's work seems to have actually been to change and modify our species into the life forms which do precisely what we do here today, what can be said of the motivations of these people's continuous presence on our planet and their history of relationship with the powers that be?
Reducing the level of confusion and contradiction as much as possible, let us look at a few things in a simplistic manner, taking a very straight forward look at the possible motivations which present themselves in consideration of our guests (or, hosts).
The EBEs which have been prominent in the last three generations are either associated with the more ancient types or they are not. They are either the same ones or descendants of the ones here long ago or they are a group or groups who are not associated with our past. In the latter case, these dozen or more alien species may have simply stumbled upon our wonderful planet, and set to work as they each saw fit upon their several agendas. However, in the former case, current events may be seen as a planned continuation of their purposes from time immemorial.
The preponderance of testimony is that contemporary visitors are an extension of the early missions to earth, and thus, their actions, and perhaps motivations, are relatively easy to assess. Determining the motivation of visitors who are relative new comers may be more complicated, or we may find them to be antithetical to the regime of the previous groups. In fact, Billy Meier's visitors indicated that, indeed, some visitors are now resisting other visitors and that this relationship is actually quite precarious [6]. In any event we may construe continuity between ancient and contemporary visitations and that therefore some cohesion of mission parameters most probably exists, even if some added agency is now involved which complicates the original intention.
By implication, this means that the overall course and direction of human history and its development has been and is being monitored, if not controlled, by our visitors. The litany of tragedy is not some accidental series of unfortunate events, but is a well orchestrated and choreographed performance here on earth. In light of what has happened over the course of human history, perhaps the motives of the visitors can be discerned from a review of the topology of our past.
Modern Man - Homo Technicus
First consider our unique human position on the earth. We do not fit neatly into any organic ecological system, nor do we act within the natural biological balance. We seem to be the only animal that has evolved so far beyond the ability of the environment to withstand that we threaten the entire planet. We seem to be bent on erasing this natural environment and covering the planet's surface with structures or wastelands.
We are highly technological and depend on this technology to sustain us in a naturally hostile environment. We have the technology to destroy our world. Most of the technological advances we have made are related to our ability and propensity for war, or are the result of our innate belligerence. It is this technological bias that has driven us to evolve into the species we are today. We serve as our own natural selection mechanism.
Second, civilizations mysteriously appeared at the onset of recorded history. We continued to build and maintain elaborate civilizations based on hierarchies that have been relatively consistent throughout our history. We, as do many mammals, waive our right to be self-directing, in favor of giving power to some king or leader, following this person or group wherever they choose to take us. These individuals, groups and movements divide us along cultural, national and religious boundaries.
Symbolism and written language seem to have been attendant at the birth of civilization. Our ability to think abstractly gives us our inexplicable predisposition toward faith. This feature underlies and enables all our civilizations and financial systems. It is even quite possible that this is a genetic feature of humanity [7].
Third, we have established faith based monetary and financial systems that depend solely on our ability to conceptualize and use symbolism to place value on abstract concepts or inanimate objects. We believe that there will always be the rich and the poor, those that have and those that have not. There will always be those who seek to gather everything they can, and those who seek to gather anything they can. Our civilizations depend on those that have little forever being servant to those who have more.
We humans are clearly a non sequitur species on this planet. The condition we find ourselves in is not one that follows the natural evolutionary processes [8].
Keeping Secrets
When considering the keepers of the secrets of extraterrestrial involvement on earth, it is easy to be caught in the bow wave of anger directed against the United States and its military industrial complex. It should however be noted that there is at least one other significant party to the deception and obfuscation: the EBEs themselves.
It is relatively easy to understand why governments wish to keep this truth embargo in place. With it, the powers that be, as they are known in some circles, retain their grasp. Or on the other hand, those in control may feel that they are actually preserving our way of life, or our lives in general from the horrors of the actual ET agenda.
Whichever may be the case, it is clear that the ETs are cooperating more with the political diplomats maintaining the embargo than with the exopolitical diplomats working for a full disclosure. And since that estimate is based on empirical evidence, one must wonder why the visitors support the continued establishment controlled cover-up.
Assuming that the ETs are technologically powerful, and able to not only monitor but also edit or create media information on our planet, one might wonder why they have not broken the embargo and sent the world a message. The actions of the visitors are anything but invisible.
Communications with individuals abound in the literature. There seems to be no limit to the information which is passed to individuals on what seems to be a random basis. With some exceptions, there is a great deal of similarity in the testimonies of these people who claim to have had contact with EBEs. After the poking and prodding sessions conclude, there is an overwhelming level of concern for the environment of the planet and the condition of the spiritual awareness of the individual conveyed by the visitors. Both these topics are undoubtedly of fundamental priority and inestimably important, but there seems to be some disconnect between this message and the fact that these witnesses are usually kidnapped and exposed to traumatic levels of personal violation at the time of the briefings. Further testimony by others, including Werner Von Braun, indicate that the EBEs had some significant contact with the Nazis, or had at least some technology transfer at the time, whether intentional or 'accidental'. Could there be some contradiction here, or is our concept of 'spiritual condition' at odds with the EBE's version?
Alleged UN and governmental meetings - between Eisenhower and others, particularly in association with the MJ12 participants - are particularly significant. Such high level meetings, conducted in secret, not publicized at the time and classified above top secret, which effect every person on the planet, seem to have been handled improperly in so far as the EBE anxiety for the general population's spiritual awareness is concerned. In dealing with the leadership of earth, EBEs seem to be missing a fundamental point - humans want to be in charge of earth. How could EBEs make such an obvious mistake in opening up to the powers that be? Did they think for an instant that those in control would find this reality comforting and pass it on to the people of earth?
In fact, there is a continuity here that is perhaps unnoticed at times. For the entire history of modern human civilization, there has always been the sacred and the profane, the open and the secret things, that have been part of religions on earth for many millennia. Priests and prophets on the knowing side, and the people on the other. Secret societies and fraternal orders.
Knowledge is power and keeping the power is of prime importance. So perhaps the 'spiritual awareness' inculcated by the EBEs is a continuation of the awareness of the few practiced on earth since the beginning, and forms a basis for elite dominion in general.
While the EBEs may be closed mouthed about things, it is impossible to hide their actions, both in the past and today. There have been many overt and overwhelmingly noteworthy sightings of UFOs over the years. In July of 1952 a small group of vehicles swarmed the nation's capital in Washington [9]. In recent times, the Phoenix Lights, Chicago O'Hare Airport and the Stephenville Texas sightings garnered worldwide attention. None of these supposed sightings ended in any significant revelation, but only inspired more secrecy and confusion. There has been no "Take Me To Your Leader" event, simply because that meeting has already occurred. Our governments and those in power have no question as to the message of the EBEs.
Messages to the common human through the media infrastructure are present, if confused. These messages hint at the agenda, or agendas, of our visitors. Again an environmental and spiritual emphasis is found in those communications. Claims have been made that EBEs have seeded the thoughts of mankind for years through the entertainment mediums. Many have subscribe to the notion [10] that through fiction and entertainment, the masses can be exposed to otherwise frightening concepts and through gradual release can be made ready to accept the bigger messages which must come only when the civilization is ready to accept it without a high level of fear and denial. While our visitors claim using this method of indoctrination, our government [11] calls it "camouflage through limited disclosure".
Crop circles are taken as communication from the EBEs and, it is believed, offer some kind of message, if these cereoglyphs have meaning. A recent Barbury Castle [12], England circle actually described Pi to the tenth decimal place, but this is a message we have already received some time ago. In general, crop circles have been awarded the dubious distinction of being a form of communication which can be fabricated by both human and non-human entities.
In light of the controlling nature of the current political environment, perhaps communication is restricted from the EBEs due to our own propensity for fabrication and duplicity. False flag operations are a staple in the geopolitical landscape and have been for many generations.
Modern operations in major world cities dwarf previous ploys in their depth of depravity, justifying these deeds by the noble and needful end results achieved. In fascist and militaristic cultures, and in 'free' societies, these activities are essential for large-scale paradigm adjustment. Obfuscation and camouflage are classic counterintelligence operations.
Apparently both our governments, the human and the ET's, seem to feel that secrecy and obfuscation are essential to this relationship. Philip Corso indicated that the first response by Truman's Working Group on the events surrounding ET presence was to build a government within a government [13]. It was felt that the only way to keep the information secret regarding the Roswell event and the subsequent work of the defense department on reverse engineering the technology found there was to keep it secret even from ourselves. Over time, the original working group fell apart due to "a power struggle", according to Corso, and the compartmentalized groups doing the work on particular projects operated "as if some super intelligence group was still in command." [14] The individual agencies were operating "on blind faith that they were being managed by higher-ups." But if indeed the working group ceased to function as the managing agency of the information flow and the enforcer of the continuing cover-up, how did this condition continue without program guidance? The answer was in the creation of a government within a government: a coterie of individuals who were not answerable to any president or elected government agency. It was in essence, the Invisible Government, and our then elected president and his officers knowingly created it.
Essentially, hands we do not see govern us.
Determining Motive at the Scene of a Crime
Television has given most people an insight into the operations of crime scene investigators and how they solve crimes, based on forensic evidence. For example, a body is found on the street, shot. Perhaps the signs of a brief and futile struggle are evident. Looking for identification on the body proves to be futile, since no wallet or purse is found near the area. Searching the area, looking in trashcans nearby, a wallet is found, devoid of money and credit cards, but containing the driver's license of Mr. John Doe, and the photo appears to match the features of the victim. In all probability, the deceased is Mr. Doe and he was most probably mugged, killed for money. The motive, discerned by the evidence at the scene of the crime, appears to have been money. Looking at AI (Alien Intervention) as if it were a crime, an investigator might arrive at some idea of a possible motive for the action. With a long history of association, it is determined that the victims (us) are quite familiar with the perpetrators (aliens). There are traces of this relationship in every culture on earth, from the oldest recorded histories of every race, or ethnic clade.
It appears that the suspects had a central hand in the origination of most civilizations, at least, and perhaps are even responsible for the perverted evolution of the entire species. This seems to be similar in scope to many child kidnappings, where the aggrieved parent has no qualms in kidnapping the child from the awful 'other parent' or custodian.
There is also an offer of some kind made to the victims, and this offer is usually either some kind of technology which appears to give advantage to the victim, or some kind of spiritual enlightenment, offered specially to the victims, upon their acceptance of a continued relationship in both cases. The crime begins to take on the aura of a confidence scam, or a bait and switch, Three-Card-Monty scam. As is normal for these confidence scams, obfuscation and diversion is key in keeping the deceit going to its fruition.
There are a host of bodies, and missing persons associated with the crimes. In fact, whole civilizations seem to have vanished from the face of the earth. There are stories of global annihilations that pervade all the literature of the ancients. This confidence scam with a kidnapping has turned into a homicide.
As details emerge, the investigation turns up accomplices. A conspiracy is revealed that is classic in most high crimes. But as in most high crimes, not all the perpetrators can keep secrets. Our shadow government seems to have been accessory to the crimes of the aliens, at least for the last three generations. Under interrogation, the story emerges only with great difficulty, and it seems to change from one session to the next.
The perpetrator is armed and dangerous. Government insiders, members of the military in high places, feel that the visitors are hostile and have taken actions to counter the assault they feel is imminent upon humanity. What remains of our visible government is valiantly trying to protect us, as they promised they would.
The perpetrators have actually taken over territory in our area and appear to be sustaining a long-term occupation. Under the sea and the land and on nearby bodies in space, evidence of their presence is monitored. Billions, if not trillions, have been spent on our security from this hostile visitor.
Most aggravating of all is the perpetrator's ability to flee and evade capture at will. Only isolated conspirators are captured, their dark associates in the cabal taking custody of them. Most of those captured suffer, as did Lee Harvey Oswald.
It seems in fact that the perpetrators themselves are influencing the entire investigation. Investigators and agents operate under an unknown authority that seems bent on keeping the crime from the general public, attempting to demean details and witnesses. And since the criminals are in charge of the investigation, there will be no further investigation - case closed.
We have difficulty in establishing motives for known high crimes and misdemeanors. We see these convoluted and serpentine crimes in the news and have wondered about them since the assignation of JFK. How could our own government do such things? What fox is watching this henhouse, anyway? Exacerbated, we attribute their motives to control, power.
If the EBEs are indeed our progenitors, could we not assume some familiar relationship in motive on their part as well? Could there be some similarity in our mutual behavior, some inherited propensity? Are we not acting exactly as designed?
Summary
The Paradigm Research Group is organizing a Million Fax on Washington which is designed to put pressure on the president elect to make substantive efforts for disclosing all the pertinent information the government has on the subject of ETI. On the day following the determination of the next president of the US, the goal is to have one million faxes and letters delivered in mass to the person appointed. Just how effective this might be remains to be seen, but the probability is that the person, whoever it may be, will be as unable to open the floodgates of disclosure as anyone else has been in the last three generations. The keepers of the information will allow it when they are ready.
Looking at the history of alien intervention on this planet, and taking many stories and angles on the data into account, it is easy to see that a powerful and persistent hand has been manipulating the situation for a very long time. While it is true that humans have assisted this covert operation, we are but short-lived humans, and the operation continues to this day. The only party that remains consistent, in the effort to keep secret the intervention in human affairs, is the alien interlopers themselves.
With their technological advantage and the proliferation of communication mediums on this planet, our alien friends could easily announce their presence to us and never expose themselves to the hostility that currently pervades our government's relationship with them. With their undeniable tactical advantage, they could land in mass at the UN and reveal themselves to all the nations of the earth, keeping the armed forces at bay with the fully licensed versions of the hardware we use against them today.
By appearing in some peaceful manner, by not returning evil for evil, by a non-destructive resistance to our sure to be violent reaction to their appearance, the alien delegation would prove their peaceful intent, their altruistic mission, to the general public.
Claiming some kind of non-interference ethic is a red herring, since interference is a given condition on this planet. Visual sightings, abductions, implants, missing persons, crop circles and cattle mutilations - the list is almost endless. There is no reason to wear the mask any longer, unless of course taking off the mask would reveal more than we would care to know.
Participate with the Million Fax on Washington - hope for the best. But nothing prohibits the Interlopers from acknowledging their persistent presence on earth today, regardless of the results of the presidential appointment to come.

Unfolding extraterrestrial reality

The Shocking Truth

post from Nexus of Science/Spirituality/Politics on 19 November 2008 04:30:00 AM. © Nexus of Science/Spirituality/Politics
(Article 3 of a unique serie)(Previous articles: 1 and 2)A shocking truthThey are here, I have no doubts about it now. But what I didn't expect is the way the manifest themselves. High strangeness is the only way we can describe it.

Over the periods of 2 years, I had the privilege to share precious moments with the CSETI team and close to 120 participants from all walks of life. I met NASA scientist, Pilots, house wives, astronomers, computer experts, engineers and many more professionals during the week long trainings. And they were just like me, completely in awe at what was unfolding around us.

From what we have been told, and the way media and movies depict the extraterrestrials, you would think that if things goes as planned, we would see a giant spaceship, just like the one we see on TV, coming above the group. Well, things just don't happen like that, but in various other wonderful ways. Again, you have to think outside the box and realize that there is more to reality then our own little 3 dimensional world.

Extraterrestrial physical manifestations

Now, what I would like to describe first is the way they show themselves and how they interact with the group. I'll be mixing all the experiences together, including the work I have done around Ottawa with colleagues, the CSETI Trainings in Mt. Shasta and near Montreal. The manifestation will be presented as they come to mind, in no particular order. I'll try to add graphics to each description.


The very first day in Mt. Shasta, in the fall 2006, we had whitish-greenish lights answering to our signaling. This lasted about 3-4 minutes. We could see the shape of that light-object with binoculars. There is no way someone would have been able to stand on the side of the mountain to do that. The side been too steep for that feat. A similar object also flew above the mountain, following the contours the previous year, according to Harold Berndt.

In Mt. Shasta, during a break, I was discussing Stanley Meyers technology with Steven Greer and Harold Berndt, when a red ball popped in view, facing me. I quickly pointed to it, but Steven already had his head turned to see the manifestation. The orb appeared between 2 tall trees at about 40 feet altitude and started descending. It was about the size of my thumb at arm's length. Mid course, it split it 2 identical balls vertically and moved apart slightly. They both disappeared behind the bushes. I looked at Steven and Harold in awe. Never seen something like this.

In fall 2007, Mt. Shasta, we had many uncharted objects flying above us and one way we can see if they are of extraterrestrial nature, we can verbally or mentally gently ask for a direction change. Well, that is one thing I usually do each time I see an object in the sky, anywhere I am.To my great surprise, the first object turned 20-30 degrees... At that point, I was making audible request and my friend could hear them too. We were both astonished to see the object change course. This happened 3 times during the evening. Twice on my request and once on a request from another participants.

Ursa major, or commonly called the Big Dipper is a very easy constellation to spot. I was facing it that night when a notice a blink, about the size of a big start. I notified the group, with elevation and orientation. It then blinked again a bit north of it's previous blink location and the entire group noticed it. Then for a longer period it was quiet before blinking at us one last time.
In 2007, I had brought an MP3 player and portable speakers. I was playing the beeping tones while everyone was setting up for the night. Just as Steven and his colleagues were sitting down, I saw a basketball size silver orb pop just beside the moon. I thought It was a quick reaction to our beeping tones, which they usually do each time. I notified the group and the same orb was also seen later during the night by other people.

Now to end this series of manifestations, I will describe what could be the most bizarre and life changing experience I had in my life.One night where we were standing and enjoying the star filled sky, the energy was high, we felt good. The weather was cool, but we felt great. We had our usual circular setup so everyone could watch a part of the sky. The moon was high and bright.I then noticed something shinny in front of me, but nothing solid. I dispatched it for just reflection on the ground until Steven started moving around and outlining shapes. I was puzzled, then I moved my head sideways, left and right to see if I could get more details of the shape in front of me. It was very subtle energy, but I could clearly see the top of a small humanoid head and 2 shoulders. It was see-through...semi-transparent.We where all very quiet and enjoy this most extraordinary presence. I was really astonished to see Steven come beside me and begin to outline the shape I had in front of me. Wow! I told myself, he sees what I see...He started at the top of the head with both his hands joined and went around it, then the shoulders, and going down the sides of this quiet creatures. I couldn't believe it... Such a peaceful night and such peaceful and wonderful location.To this day, this is the most difficult experience to share with anyone I talk to.There I've done it. Feels good. :)

This gives you an idea on how things turn out, and the beautiful thing about all this, you can do this at home with your friends and family. Just show honest and sincere desire to contact and amazing things will happen.

This is how things happened for me, but there have been some major ET craft demonstration in the early CSETI days. One of them was a 300 feet disk that came out of the clouds in England, during a CSETI expedition.

Anything can happen, be open and enjoy every moment of this beautiful unfolding reality.

Aliens Use Fresh Water As Fuel

The president of the Academy for Applied Ufology, Academician Vladimir Azhazha, is considered to be the founding father of the Russian ufology. He shared his knowledge of aliens with Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, who subsequently confirmed his status as the nation’s chief scientist in ufology. The academician has recently marked his 80th birthday and is currently working on an extensive collection of books (ten volumes) devoted to UFOs.
It goes without saying that the traditional science does not treat ufology seriously. Vladimir Putin once said that he never believed in extraterrestrial beings.
"Putin is a secret service man. Mikhail Gorbachev was the first and the last national leader who acknowledged the issue of unidentified flying objects in Russia. We established the public ufological center during his rule under my supervision. Thousands of ufologists were working for me from 1990 to 1995. We collected tons of information to prove the existence of UFOs. There are other civilizations in the universe, no matter if we want it or not," the scientist said.
"The term ‘extraterrestrial’ is not quite correct. There is no evidence to prove that aliens come from other planets. No one knows where they come from. It is not ruled out that they come from a civilization of parallel worlds, or from the ocean. Modern science knows very little about what’s happening at ocean’s depths," Vladimir Azhazha believes.
"There were incidents when scientists saw unidentified objects in the Mariana Trench. I am a submariner myself, although I have never seen something like that. We once encountered an unusual animal in the ocean, although we failed to determine and classify the being. It was a lyre - shaped creature .
"US satellites took several infrared photographs of Mexico, Chile and Bolivia in 1993. The pictures showed large objects up to 450 kilometers in diameter – the flying cities. This is where they all come from.
"You probably realize that I do not feel like fantasizing at my age. My facts show that aliens use fresh water as fuel for their aircraft. They decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen. In Australia, a UFO was once spotted landing on a tank holding 38 tons of water. When it took off, there was no water found in the tank. There was a smell of ozone in the air, which made it clear that they decomposed water into oxygen and hydrogen and compressed the latter under the pressure of several hundreds of atmospheres. We won’t be able to carry a bucket of mercury, because it will weigh 130 kilograms. If we compress hydrogen, a truck won’t be able to move a spoonful of it.

Letter To President Elect - Obama

President Elect Obama: Are UFOs Real?
Several weeks ago, I posted an article about the Million Fax on Washington campaign which calls for the government to disclose what it knows about UFOs and extraterrestrials. I am still working on my own letter. In the meantime, I saw this open letter to the President Elect written by Robert Stanley. It’s a very interesting letter by a man who has been involved in the issue for some time. I’ve included one photo at the end, but there are a number of others that accompany the original article. - Tom Z

Open Letter to President Elect Obama
by Robert Stanley
Mr. Obama,
Your campaign was based on a simple, but profound promise — change. There is one important aspect of the current bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., that desperately needs to change — UFO secrecy.
As president elect you have most likely been briefed on the more than 240 alien incursions of the restricted/prohibited airspace over Washington, D.C., that have transpired since 1948. Pentagon intelligence officers may have also briefed you on the failed military intercepts that occurred in this same period. Some of these hostile intercepts proved fatal to our veteran, combat pilots — a tragic waste of life. However, the attempted military intercepts in 1948, 1952, 2002, etc. are what directly led to the current political stance on this subject — total silence.
Despite the fact that hundreds of people have seen and or photographed non-terrestrial, exotic aerospace craft passing over sensitive areas of Washington, D.C., we are told that officially nothing unusual is going on. This situation has got to change. However, I am certain that your transition team leaders, specifically John Podesta, will urge you not to address this issue publicly.
You see, in 2005, soon after I broke the story internationally of UFOs being photographed over the Capitol, I spoke at length with Mr. Podesta’s public relations firm in D.C. because they had issued press releases regarding their desire to end UFO secrecy. Therefore, it seemed like a good idea to contact them because I was looking for a public official to address the UFO situation in D.C. on the record. However, I was told by Podesta’s people that despite the fact that most of these alien incursions were witnessed by credible citizens of D.C. and or seen or radar scopes, and or photographed, no one holding political or public office would be willing to address the fact that UFOs have been repeatedly violating our sovereign airspace.
The reason for the official silence was actually quite simple. No one really knew what to do about it. More importantly, if an elected official were to officially admit anything publicly regarding these alien incursions… that individual (and perhaps their Federal agency) would be held personally responsible by the public to deal with the problem.
During your campaign, you stated your willingness to have a dialogue with all world leaders regardless of their political views. Are you willing to engage in an open, diplomatic dialogue with the occupants of the unidentified aerospace craft visiting Washington, D.C.? If not, why not?
As reported in my book "Close Encounters on Capitol Hill," according to NATO’s classified assessment in the 1960s, many of the occupants of these exotic space craft are in fact human. More importantly, NATO concluded that these people did not pose a direct threat to our security. If that is true, then why should we continue to deny their existence and refuse to engage them in open debate? In closing, I would like to make it crystal clear that this is an ongoing situation that will not go away simply by ignoring or denying it exists.
These exotic craft have been sighted and or photographed all over the world. But, they are also very interested in Washington, D.C. To illustrate my point, below are some of the most recent eyewitness accounts and photographs from our nation’s capital.
Respectfully,

AddendumThe following alien incursion took place in Washington, D.C., at approximately 9:00 p.m., on September 23, 2008. According to one of the witnesses,
"My family and I were driving down Constitution Street when we first saw three unidentified lights moving very smoothly and rather slowly behind the Freedom statue that stands on top of the Capitol building’s rotunda.
When we got to Union Station, we had a better view of the Capitol and the UFOs were still in sight, but now they were going in a different direction. On our way back home, we got the best view yet of these UFOs. We could see the light on these craft were circular, but since it was night we couldn’t actually see the actual structure of the spacecraft. We went back to Capitol Hill later that night with binoculars, but we didn’t see anything. However when we were there, a security helicopter was flying around the Capitol with a search light."
Another alien incursion occurred in Washington, D.C., at 10:06 p.m., on August 17, 2008. According to the photographer/witness,
"While standing on a roof top on 13th and N streets NW, I captured a high-resolution image of a spherical UFO that left a trail of energy as it accelerated into the night sky. I was using a Nikon D700 which is the most advanced digital camera currently available on the market. My sample shows a bright, white, egg-shaped anomaly with blue and red lights that is leaving a trail of residual energy at a 45 degree angle. No noise was heard? The image I obtained is extraordinary!"
Another alien incursion occurred in Washington, D.C., at approximately 8:00 p.m., on August 13, 2008. According to one of the witnesses,
"My friends and were on a trip to D.C. That evening, we were walking west on the National Mall towards the Smithsonian Metro Station when I noticed a strange object in the sky. It appeared to be cylindrical in shape and dark, gray maybe or a dull metallic color; it was relatively well offset by the colors of the evening sky so it was plainly visible to the naked eye. It seemed to be fairly large and distant and was totally stationary for some time.
After I first noticed it I didn’t point it out until I realized that it had not moved at all for close to thirty seconds. I then pointed the UFO out to my four friends who all saw it, but we could not decide what it was. The general consensus seemed to be that it might be a kite of some sort, but to me it seemed too high in the sky and too large to be a kite. Also, the area of the sky [which is restricted/prohibited airspace] it was in did not see like a place where anyone would fly a kite of any sort. I pulled out my cell phone to take a picture of the UFO.
The clouds behind the object could be seen clearly on the screen, but the UFO did not appear in my camera despite that fact that as I mentioned before it was plainly visible to the naked eye, a fact that I pointed out to my friends who all saw it. If I recall correctly, I also heard someone in another group that we passed that night mention that they witnessed the UFO.
The strange object remained stationary for several minutes before moving slightly down and to the right and away from our view. The object was perhaps 30 to 40 degrees in the sky to the WNW, generally in the area of the sky between the Washington monument and the White House, but probably more distant. It particularly struck me as odd because this is not a residential area, and as far as I know restricted air space, also this is the area of the sky were aircraft approach Reagan National airport."
Another alien incursion occurred in Washington, D.C., at 8:09 p.m. on August 4, 2007. An anonymous photographer was taking pictures while standing at the Washington Monument which is the center of P51 (prohibited/restricted) airspace of the nation’s capital. The photographer did not see the triangular UFO while taking the picture. Photographic analysis shows the UFO was emitting an exotic energy field propulsion as it moved through the sky — see image below

President Obama and UFOs

President Elect Obama appears to have very little interest in UFOs or outer space, but that may change quickly after he is sworn in.
::::::::
President Elect Obama appears to have very little interest in UFOs or outer space. During a news flap over statements made by Shirley MacLaine last year about a UFO sighting that former Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich had, a number of other Democratic Candidates were asked how they felt about UFOs. Barack Obama told the late Tim Russert of NBC News that he was more concerned about improving the quality of people’s lives here on Earth, than space aliens.
Obviously preferring to focus his attention on solving the terrestrial economic problems of U.S. Citizens, Barack Obama has also sent strong signals to NASA that he has little interest in spending billions of tax dollars on space exploration. He stood with Florida Senator and former Astronaut Bill Nelson at the Kennedy Space Center this past summer to declare that although he would support continued “basic research and development” at NASA over the long term, he would need to find ways to pay for it that would not take money away from programs that help people here on Earth in the short term.
Obama and many other democrats believe that promises made by President Bush regarding future NASA programs involving the Moon and Mars have always been strong on rhetoric and short on funding. Unlike the funded mandate outlined in his famous “We shall go to the Moon…” speech that the late President John F. Kennedy delivered to NASA’s doorstep, the most that Bush and the various incarnations of the U.S. Congress that have existed during his Administration have done is sent the space agency a few dollars to develop vehicles needed to get to those places.
Apart from the fact that big money for space programs has been a hard sell even during the best of economic times in recent years, it’s doubtful that President Elect Obama will be motivated to do much more than just keep the lights on at NASA and allow current plans for the International Space Station to go forward as long as they don’t require too much funding. The real question is what will happen after he is sworn in as the forty-forth President of the United States.
I don’t imagine that there were too many Champaign corks popping at the Pentagon after Obama won the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. President Elect Obama is known to prefer diplomacy to military solutions. Whether he will go as far as former President Jimmy Carter did by trying to dismantle the CIA and cut military spending by billions when he got into office remains to be seen. What does seem to be certain is that not all U.S. Presidents receive the real E.T. briefing. Carter tried to get it from former CIA Director George H. Bush before he replaced Bush with a new director, but was turned down.
Times have changed and it’s entirely possible that Obama will receive a briefing about UFOs and Aliens whether anyone in the military or intelligence gathering community wants him to have it or not. Given the number of UFOs seen worldwide over the past few years and the obvious military responses in the form of jet and helicopter chases, Obama may have to simply join a show already in progress. If that happens, look for the tell-tale changes in Obama’s attitude towards UFOs, Aliens or Space Programs. A sudden and unexpected dependency on the military, a lack of interest in cutting their budget and overall adjustment of his political views may be one sign, but probably not the biggest.
I would expect a world-minded politician like Barack Obama to support UFO disclosure given the diplomatic and international relations possibilities such a move would offer our nation. Especially if he was convinced that extraterrestrials were really visiting our planet and impacting worldwide economies and technologies. Knowing that he could not affect change overnight, Obama might consider supporting disclosure with the hope that he could force the ultimate unveiling of alternative energy sources and new energy efficient technologies that have may have been developed as a result of captured or bartered UFO technology.
Several staff members working for movers and shakers in the Democratic Party have already claimed that some sort of ‘summit’ took place shortly after the Dennis Kucinich UFO affair last year to discuss how the Party faithful would react to UFO incidents in the future. However, most of these Party players probably do not have the clout needed to find out what’s really happening with ET’s and our government. Their responses would merely offer preplanned, politically correct lip service to the subject and Obama doesn’t seem to be interested in that.
As President, Barack Obama’s disinterest in UFOs may serve him better than Bill Clinton’s interest in the subject. Bill and Hilary went out of their way to dig up information about extraterrestrials and the government during their time in the White House. The result was lackluster at best. Military members sent them serve serving reports and briefing statements indicating that there was nothing to the Roswell UFO incident and political cronies were stonewalled at every turn as their tried to unravel the UFO mystery from inside the Oval Office.
I think it’s possible that some UFO insiders in the government may look at President Elect Obama as a sort of ‘clean slate’ type of politician given his statements about change. At best, they will trust him with the UFO secret and look for him to promote disclosure and provide positive leadership in that direction. At worst, they’ll tell him their own version of the E.T. story and use his ability to sway public opinion to maintain control over all things extraterrestrial.

UFO's and Extraterrestrials: Part I
by Rich Anders
Researching the material for my book Terror from the Heavens, I found ample evidence that approximately 5800 years ago this planet was invaded by regressive aliens who called themselves the gods. The evidence also shows that they vanished about 3500 years ago. The case is argued in this book.
For the purpose of this web site general considerations will be presented because reports of encounters with extraterrestrials all over the world indicate that there are several alien parties visiting this planet. If one is to seriously believe in the possibility of extraterrestrials visiting this planet then it has to be established whether this is possible at all and if so how it is done.
As great as the advances of human engineering are, our present technology would not be able to provide the means for conquering not only space but an entire planet with enough manpower to uphold the occupation. Clearly, the alien invaders of ancient times were not only technologically far ahead of human achievements. To master space travel one needs to be able to cope with formidable technological challenges.
Let’s address them one by one.
Propulsion systems based on fuel consumption are totally inadequate for space travel even over cosmically small distances. Space travel at any reasonable scale is only possible with an energy source that is inexhaustible. Such energy source can only be a form of energy, which is present throughout the universe like electromagnetism or the quantum vacuum.
Reports of so-called UFOs wonder about the erratic course they follow. – In ancient times important spiritual buildings like temples and sanctuaries were erected at carefully chosen sites. In the Aegean Sea and in Greece there are a many such structures. When connecting them it becomes apparent that there is a grid like pattern to their locations.
In England a phenomenon called the "ley" lines is known. These are lines of a kind of energy human science has not dealt with so far. At the crossing points of these ley lines there frequently are religious structures of present and earlier times, which is an indication that this energy was known not only in the Mediterranean cultures but also in England.
There are numerous reports that tell of UFOs travelling along these lines in an erratic course. Considering that ley lines are a form of energy emanating from the ground one has to conclude that the erratic course of the ley lines can be linked to deposits of metals in the Earth’s crust which cause irregularities in the course of these lines.
It is obvious that UFOs are using the energy emanating from these energy lines for their propulsion system. One has to assume that such energy sources are available between planets and at a much greater scale between star systems. This type of energy meets the requirement of being universally available and inexhaustible.
Reports of UFOs also tell of tight, even right angle turns at very high speeds. Acceleration, deceleration and gravity can be equated. How come the crew of a UFO making such abrupt changes of direction in high-speed flight is not crushed?
The solution to this problem can only be a mechanism, which shields off the forces of gravity. What kind of mechanism can do that I do not know. But I do know that maintaining one’s dimension is a foremost necessity in space travel. - This requires an explanation. A material dimension is determined by the speed a body travels through space and there is no difference whether it is spacecraft or a planet. There is something called the energy constant of the Universe. This constant is the energy available for motion and oscillation between the states of energy and matter. The more energy is used for motion meaning the faster a body travels through space the less frequent are the oscillations between the stages of energy and matter; a body gets longer and slower times passes. -- Einstein's Theory of Relativity confirms this.
On the reverse side, the more slowly a body moves, the more frequent are the oscillations between the stages of energy and matter; a body get shorter and time passes faster. The fact that there are no invasions by extraterrestrials in historic times indicates that biological life forms cannot live in a material dimension other than their own. Changes in the frequency of the oscillation, which means a different dimension, cannot be tolerated. Changes of dimensions are a complex and difficult topic. It cannot be explained in the context of this article but you can find detailed information in my book "God's Ultimate Task".
This was obviously the problem of the gods who landed here 5,800 years ago. The dimension of this planet was not quite right for them. Therefore, they established themselves primarily on the highest mountains. This is why these mountain regions to this day are called the seats of the gods. These mountains were declared sacred and to this day mankind remembers them as such. The areas on top of the highest mountains are called a death zone for humans. It is not the altitude that makes humans sick in these altitudes; it is the difference in the oscillation of matter at sea level and in high attitudes no matter how slight.
Another problem was the excessive drain on the spiritual energies of the gods caused by a material dimension that was not quite right for them. The gods compensated for this by implementing ritual human sacrifices designed to provide them with spiritual energies used to the material dimension of this planet; the gods' energy metabolisms absorbed the energies released by the suffering and pain of their victims. Even after the gods had vanished this practice of human sacrifice in favour of the gods continued well into the recent past.

Crop Circles - What Are They?

The Earth we live in is full of secrets which have puzzled mankind since time immemorial. Attempts have been made over the years by our ancestors and modern-day scientists to unravel the mysteries of our planet - at least some of those we have so far identified; many more still lie hidden to us.Today we thought of inviting you to join us on an expedition of discovery...You can then be familiar with some of the signs and wonders of our Planet Earth and also enhance your knowledge with what has been unravelled by scientists so far.Among the numerous mysteries of our planet is something known as the ‘crop circles’, which are most clearly visible from the skies.These amazing sights that have cropped up in various parts of the world continue to baffle (confuse) scientists.No one has yet been able to explain as to how such intricately designed crop circles could have ‘cropped up’ overnight. Now, isn’t that amazing? So, let’s check out exactly what these mysterious designs on Earth are...What are crop circles?Large, flattened areas, mostly in cornfields, which come up overnight are identified as ‘crop circles’ by scientists. Even though a majority of them are circular in shape, these flattened land areas come in all shapes and sizes. Apart from the circles, there are some in the shape of keys, weird insects, claws and even the stars. Many farmers claim that they had been created overnight by unknown forces.Who created these weird patterns on the ground?Could humans have done something like this during the night without anyone noticing or hearing anything? The scientists have no real explanation, but many theories have been put forward.One of them is; they are the results of the weather - may be mini whirlwinds. Some scientists are of the view that winds charged with electricity flowing over the hills could have triggered mini-whirlwinds which eventually created crop circles. Well, perhaps this would explain why some people claim they saw lights and heard humming around the places where crop circles appeared. That’s just one possibility.There is also a view that these crop circles may have been done as a joke by a group of people after much planning. Now, what do you think? Is such a thing possible, especially when one takes into consideration the intricate designs some of these crop circles have.They really have to be viewed from the skies to make one wonder and think deeply about them. Perhaps we will never be able to understand the wonder that surrounds them unless we visit some of the places having crop circles.Another explanation for these mysterious signs on Earth is - yes, you guessed it - aliens! If you believe in their existence, then this possibility becomes stronger.Where on Earth are they?Even though these strange, weird shapes in crops have been puzzling mankind for hundreds of years they have not been studied in detail until about three decades (30 years) ago. With the advancement of technology more and more attention is being paid to these odd, fascinating and intricate designs appearing on Earth.Some of the countries where these strange designs have cropped up are Australia, Canada, Israel, South Africa, Japan, the United Kingdom and USA. Scientists claim that there have been reports of crop circles from about 40 more countries.They further state that there are ‘hot spots’ for crop circles such as Wiltshire in England where they appear more often than in other areas in a year. Thousands of crop circles are said to have appeared in Wiltshire in the last 50 years.Are corn fields the only places they appear in?They occur a lot in corn fields which are in fact huge extents of land. But, these fields are not the only places on Earth where these strange designs have been spotted. Crop circles have also occurred in wheat, barley, rapeseed (also called canola) rye, linseed and soy fields. They also appear on sand, soil, snow, ice and even on grassfields. Sometimes they have also been observed in leaves on trees.Hundreds of giant forest circles have appeared in the north of Canada. They can only be seen from the air and are said to be two kilometres (1.25 miles) in size.When were they first spotted?The earliest crop circle on record may be the one spotted in Assen in Holland way back in 1590. In Australia people began to notice them in the 1960s and that too in the swamps near Tully in Queensland.An image resembling a crop circle is reported to have appeared in a 17th century English wood cut. It had been called the Mowing Devil. In ufology(study of UFOs) literature, plenty of reports of crop circles are given.However the crop circle phenomena was reported initially in the early 1970s in modern times. Since then more than 12,000 reports have been filed in from all over the world. These circles are totally at odds with modern science. More than 90 per cent of the reported crop circles are from England.Until 1990 not much attention was paid to these crop circles being made by people as a hoax (an act intended to make somebody believe something that’s not true). Scientists and researchers have identified about 30 per cent of these crop circles as hoax. However, as some of the mysterious designs have appeared in some brittle plants that would snap if human hands or a machine tried to flatten them, explanations are yet to be found as to how they were flattened without any signs of damage. Some of the crops also show signs of them being subjected to severe heat in these crop circles.Do humans make crop circles?Yes... There are many reports of man-made crop circles often appearing in remote places mostly done as a hoax. Some are done as a form of crop-art. In 1978 a man named Doug Bower and his friends started a craze in England - to make crop circles. Having heard of stories spread by the people in Australia about crop circles made by aliens, he decided to make some in England to fool the people into believing that some alien spacecraft had landed. So he and his friends created crop circles and managed to fool the people for twelve long years. There still may be many such pranksters out there creating such crop circles with intricate designs.Do these designs mean something?Many wonder what exactly the intricate designs mean, especially if they are the work of aliens, as some believe.There are various possibilities that have been put forward and some of them are; they are landing sites for aliens, they are messages - may be a form of saying hello or even a warning or maps and signs made by them for their use - to find their way or to get in touch with other aliens.The designs on many of these circles are said to be amazing. They are not only different from one to another, but also very complex, making it hard for us to believe they could have been caused by natural forces. Some of you may have seen the patterns made in the desert sand by the wind. But the crop circles or the mysterious designs made in other areas are very different.They have specific designs that simply cannot be made by the wind alone.This is why many believe they may be the work of human hands or aliens and not just natural forces... For instance, experts in this subject were unable to explain how the strange design containing 400 circles and nearly 300 metres across in extent, was made on Milk Hill, in Wiltshire, England. It was discovered just seven years ago (in 2001). Was it the work of aliens or some pranksters? If they are done by some extra-terrestrial forces, then what do the specific designs mean? These are some of the areas the experts are researching into.Why do people attribute them to aliens?Most think that aliens are responsible because such crop circles have often appeared in UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) hot spots. Even though there is no proof of this, people claim they have seen UFOs hovering over the places where these circles have appeared. In fact, experts have studied some of the bent stalks and soil inside certain crop circles and discovered higher magnetic readings in such spots. But it is still hard to prove whether they are man-made or the work of some other force.In 1996 a farmer in Utah had reported that his tractor broke down and then he saw a strange shape cut into his field. He had claimed that there were no signs of anyone having walked over the field as no wheat was broken or stepped in. He had even claimed to see lights around the circle at night. So, what or who was responsible for creating such a circle in his wheat field? No one knows.There are many farmers who say that these could be the work of aliens because generally farm animals are known to become noisy and nervous when crop circles are being made nearby. Even tractors, mobiles and cameras are said to stop working during such time.

So, if aliens (if they do exist) are responsible for these strange designs, why are they doing it and what are they trying to convey?No matter what they denote or who is responsible for them, these strange designs are continuing to send scientists in circles as they struggle to find answers for their existence.We have always been aware of the amazing forces of our Planet Earth which includes radiation, electrical energy and magnetic fields. Perhaps any one of these forces or even those we have still not even discovered are responsible for these awesome designs like the strange bird formation which appeared in a field in Wiltshire England.

October 14th - The Night Before

WE ARE WRITING THIS THE NIGHT BEFORE
I started working on this post on Monday, October 13th, the day BEFORE the latest in an ongoing chain of date-specific channeled prophecies comes and goes without incident. It’s now 4:44 am, ironically, as I publish it. For those who were really looking forward to this happening, I’m sorry to say that the news is not going to change today. There will be no mass UFO sighting.
I’ve taken some time away from Part Five of my 2012 Politics series to address this particular issue, in response to all the emails I would otherwise get asking me why nothing happened.
In the decade I’ve been online, I’ve probably never had as much of an issue on my hands as I’ve had with the October 14th emails. A typical day’s load has included five to ten October 14th emails, per day, for at least the last month now.
The last time a specific date attracted this much attention was May 15, 2003, when many Internet channelers rose to support Nancy Lieder’s initial prophecy that "Planet X" would swing past the Earth and cause a pole shift, destroying the majority of all life here in the process. Many people wrote me and were absolutely convinced this was going to happen, and got very upset that I did not support the prophecy and / or was not doing more to tell the world.
Tonight’s post is partly my celebration of the fact that once the 14th has passed, such emails will almost completely stop coming in, except for those asking me why the big event failed to materialize. If you sent me such an email, I have directed you to this link so I can give you a fuller explanation of this issue without having to repeat myself.
It has been draining to answer so many letters asking me exactly the same thing, even though I’ve now given my opinion in at least two different audio blogs as well as Part IV of my crop circle piece. I am very relieved that this situation is finally about to end, and I am sincerely sorry for all those people who will feel let down or disappointed when nothing happens.
The October 14th prophecy upset does not in any way discredit the seriousness or the validity of the UFO phenomenon. The sad fact is that the vast majority of people studying UFOs are unaware of the laws by which the ETs govern themselves — laws that make it impossible for such an event to occur at this stage in our planetary game.
These laws are written into the primordial essence of the Universe itself, and therefore cannot be contravened. As you awaken to your true identity as the One Infinite Creator, you discover that free will is the most important principle that governs our Universe. It is a principle that the entire Universe is set up to insure will not be violated beyond the level to which it is invited.
IT WOULD BE A TRAGEDY
Such a mass visitation, at this stage in our planetary game, would be an absolute tragedy — an irreversibly vast insult to the free will of the overwhelming majority of people on Earth who would see it as a horrific and terrifying event, based on their Hollywood movie conditioning. It would also be a disaster for the person who brought the prophecy through, on several different levels, with many unintended consequences.
One major problem is that if the purported UFO appeared and revealed itself in some way as a positive influence, and was welcomed by even a small percentage of humanity, then the "Federation of Light" responsible for this visitation would have effectively anointed the Earth with a new Messiah.
The person who generated this prophecy would be instantly elevated to Godlike status, ushering in the most important and influential spiritual event on Earth since the Hegira of Mohammed at the "Wailing Wall", or even the Ascension of Jesus in Jerusalem.
However, in either of these cases humanity did not see a wide-scale manifestation of the spiritual forces behind these great teachers — only paranormal events associated with the individuals themselves.
THE GREAT PYRAMID
Allegedly the most significant historical incident of such a massive human-ET contact, leading to a physical manifestation, was 11,000 years ago. According to the Law of One series, at this time the ET group known as Ra built the Great Pyramid in Egypt.
The Edgar Cayce Readings covered this event as well — and these readings clearly established that channeling is real, and in the ideal circumstances it can be replicated over and over again. There are over 14,000 documented Cayce Readings, demonstrating an above-90-percent accuracy rating, including many shocking examples of prophecy proving that Cayce’s source was able to peer through time and see the truth.
The Cayce Readings said Edgar’s most important past life was as the "priest" Ra-Ta, who allegedly led survivors from the sinking continent of Atlantis into Egypt, and ultimately helped construct the Great Pyramid.
Although the archeological evidence for such an advanced ancient civilization is now irrefutable on many, many different levels, and Cayce’s prophecies continue to gain credibility as books, documentaries and films are made about him, most people would still laugh out loud at the idea of "Atlantis" being real. This is simply due to a lack of information, and / or the lack of a sufficiently open mind.
They would be even less receptive to the idea of a channel such as Edgar Cayce assigning himself a pivotal spiritual role in the immediate aftermath of this great cataclysm, as this appears to be very self-serving.

THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF OCTOBER 14TH
I watched “Blossom Goodchild” in her video describing her prophecy and have no doubt that she is a wonderful lady with a great personality and a lot to offer. I can also say that 10 years of ever-increasing publicity as a spiritual teacher shows me that she obviously hasn’t thought through what would actually happen to her if this prophecy came true.
As one example, she would be in extreme risk of assassination from millions of religious fundamentalists who would see this ship as a manifestation of Satan, and therefore see her as the long-awaited Antichrist. However, it would be the “believers” that would bother her even more. She couldn’t appear in public without literally being torn apart by people grabbing at her clothes as she tries to press through.
Ra-Ta was elevated to the status of a god among his people. Although he was only the liaison for Ra, people came to see him as the embodiment of Ra in human form. The Illuminati tradition is still affected by this historic misunderstanding, since they adopted much of the distorted Egyptian mystery-school teachings.
This unique status led to great conspiracies plotted against Ra-Ta, according to the Cayce Readings. Long before we’d ever heard of the Clinton scandal, the Cayce Readings described how Ra-Ta was set up to sleep with another woman, the gorgeous temple dancer Isris, by his opponents. Once he went through with it, they attacked him, Swift Boat style, for going against his own spiritual principles.
These long-lost cousins of the Republican Party were able to get Ra-Ta banished from Egypt. He eventually returned, and was invited back to his former position because ignorance and lawlessness had returned to the people.
Ra-Ta increasingly traveled ‘abroad’ — not just on Earth — and when he came back from these trips he found that his temples had been turned into ‘sexual playgrounds’. He himself eventually succumbed to the forces of ego, pride and vanity, and enjoyed a variety of different female partners.
According to both the Cayce Readings and the Law of One series, this indiscretion caused Ra-Ta to become karmically entrapped on Earth and stay here until the end of the cycle. Further mistakes caused him to endure a series of lifetimes “without the distortions towards power”.
So, being the head of the “ground crew” in the midst of a major UFO contact with humanity is not all it’s cracked up to be. You can easily accrue karma, get stuck for 11,000 years, and end up inadvertently fathering a nasty cult like the Illuminati. Been there, done that.
So let’s be glad the ETs are smart enough not to show up on call like this and further disrupt our free will, and the stability of future timelines.
My own work to expose the Illuminati is part of the atonement I do for having this vibrational similarity to the key historical figure that inadvertently created the problem in the first place. By revealing myself as the anonymous author of The Changing of the Guard, I now feel I’ve done my part.

Earth's Citizens Demand Disclosure

by Stephane Wuttunee

To the future President of the United States of America: Sir, you'd better stock up on supplies and strap on your boots: a storm cometh your way.
On November 5th, 2008 and for a period lasting seventy-seven days, Washington D.C. will become Ground Zero in what is slated to become the largest civilian driven mailing blitz in recent history. The payload: over one million letters, faxes, and e-mails from people around the globe - all demanding that the newly elected U.S. President take forceful and decisive action in ending the UFO/Extraterrestrial truth embargo.
Though massive in both breadth and scope, the effort is not entirely without precedent: in 1977, over 10,000 letters made their way to the White House - the catalyst being Jimmy Carter's campaign promise to the general public that if elected, steps would be taken to make the military-industrial complex come clean on the reality and presence of UFOs/ETs within Earth's atmosphere. Such effort on the part of U.S. citizens created such a commotion on the nation's capital that it prompted the administration to sign off on two Extraterrestrial studies. Unfortunately, these were scuttled without much protest by various agencies and the Department of Defense.
Thirty-one years later, Paradigm Research Group founder and Executive Director Stephen Bassett is convinced that a repeated and more concentrated endeavor involving all peoples everywhere will have a far greater impact and end result within the nation's infrastructures of power - especially with today's ultrasensitive political environment. According to him, official Disclosure is not only close at hand - it is imminent. And though several elected representatives strongly desire to play a part in the process, they are hindered by the fact that they essentially feel alone in the front lines. They reason that only a strong and uninterrupted supply line of public interest and support will help see them through. With elections just over a month away, Bassett says that 'timing is crucial'.

Here is what you need to know:

1) Visit the official http://www.faxonwashington.org/ website to acquire the information you need to make this happen. Place it into your list of bookmarks and refer to it often. Get your letter, fax, or e-mail written up in October and ready to send on Nov. 5th to the President Elect.
2) Typed letters with standard sized envelopes are best. Why? Because unlike E-Mails and faxes, written letters always get opened and read. Letters also place a physical, tangible product within the recipient's hand, one they can store in a pocket and show to others. In this high stakes game, these two elements alone are winning factors.
3) Do not send any correspondence to the White House. Instead, your targets are the Senatorial Office and the transition office for the President Elect (see mailing addresses below).
4) Be conspicuous and in the open. Date and sign your letter if possible, along with providing your physical address. Anonymous correspondence is rarely given credibility or treated with respect.
5) Be concise and brief. The best way to lose someone's attention when reading a letter is to force them to read a second page. In fact, half a page of clear and well-written information makes for a much more hard-hitting package.
6) Make a copy of your letter/correspondence and forward this to Paradigm Research Group. This will provide Mr. Bassett with additional leverage and material for his many upcoming media appearances on this endeavor. At present, two-dozen such interviews/appearances are scheduled, with another eighty or so more foreseen to come down the Pike. If the masses do this right and a tsunami of printed material arrives on Mr. Bassett's doorstep, he will have all that is required to make a concise and powerful case to the mainstream media.

Sasquatch Sightings Continue Throughout Northwest British Columbia, Canada

Published: October 01, 2008 5:00 AM Updated: October 07, 2008 2:18 PM
Bigfoot appears to be on the move through the wilds of Northern B.C.
A rash of three sightings between late July and August have brought about speculation from paranormal specialists as to what the creature might be up to.
In addition to Houston sightings, Larry Sommerfield, a self-proclaimed sasquatch hunter from Terrace has a cast in his possession that he says is a sasquatch print.
Though he wouldn’t tell The Terrace Standard how he came into possession of the cast, it is 16 inches long, 10.5 inches wide and has four toes.
“I don’t know why there is so much activity but I have a researcher friend in Saskatchewan, who thinks it may have something to do with increased bear sightings” Brian Vike, director of Houston British Columbia Canada (HBCC) UFO Research said. “There seems to be a lot more bear sightings nearing hibernation and as the animals move down from the mountains, maybe something else large and hairy is moving too.”
A second hand report received by Vike, about a sighting in the Morgan subdivision, indicates that another Houston resident saw the enigmatic creature in late July, around the same time as Delores Harrie.
“I haven’t been able to connect with the other lady yet, but she is a very credible witness,” Vike said.
Harrie reported a Sasquatch sighting at her home on Buck Flats Road on July 28 to Vike. She made the report 29 days after the sighting simply because she didn’t not know who she should tell.
“It was my neighbour who said Brian was the person to talk to,” Harrie said.
Since her incident, one of the woman’s friends reported a sighting on Telkwa High Road in Moricetown on Aug. 27 and over the summer there have been sightings in Campbell River on Aug. 31.
At the time of the sighting, Harrie heard something crashing outside near her house and her dogs were anxious to get outside.
“I am becoming much more aware of being out here,” Harrie said, adding her home is surrounded by trees and bluffs. “I mean it could have been a moose or something, but you never know.”
At 5:45 a.m. that morning of July 28, Harrie heard her dogs barking at the door. When she went down to investigate she saw that someone or something was rattling the door handle.
She eventually opened the door and the dogs were out like a shot, sniffing out something on he east side of her property.
When she looked out at the side of her house, she saw a creature that was walking on two legs.
“It was huge and it had long hair, not fur — kind of like the kind you see on an ox and a reddish brown, the colour of the trees that are killed by the pine beetle,” said the woman. “And it moved so fast, by the time I opened my door it had run from the porch to the other side of the house.”
Once outside, the dogs pursued the creature it continued along a dried-up ravine and disappeared into a forested area. Her oldest dog didn’t return for three hours.
“I was worried but what do you do, tell people your dog is chasing bigfoot?” she asked. “I drove up and down the road, looking for him and eventually he came back.”
When she went out later that day, she found the area had markings where something very heavy had laid down the grass along the path.
“She was very obviously upset and there was a sighting on Buck Flats near Silverthorne Lake three years ago,” said Vike. “And another one in a different area near the lake.”
When Vike investigated the property, he stood in the same area on the east side of the house where the women had seen the creature in attempt to gauge it’s height.
“I am just over six feet and when I stood there she said she could only see the top of my head,” said Vike. “Whatever the heck she saw that morning, she was able to see from the head to the chest, making it at least seven or eight feet.”
Brian also found that the treed area she indicated the creature disappeared into had disturbances on the path where the grass had been laid down, as if something very heavy had slipped and possibly fallen.
“The creek there is dried up but the ground is still very swampy so I figured I would be able to find some impressions,” said Vike. “I also found what could have been a track with maybe a couple of toes visible but I just can’t be sure.”
Vike didn’t find any other evidence such as hair but he did say that there have been other sighting this summer.
Harrie doesn’t know why the creature would choose to go onto her property, but the experience has left her a little shaky.
“I used to only lock my door once in a while, now I lock it all the time,” she said.

Sasquatch Sighted In The Nass Valley, British Columbia

Date: Approx:2006 ?

Time: Around Midnight.

I never knew you were looking into the Sasquatch too, two years ago we (my husband, our two sons, and I) were driving home from the Nass Valley. It was approximately midnight when I seen something along a hillside. I was driving, but tried to watch this thing, when my oldest son leaned forward from the backseat and yelled "look, a Sasquatch" and than my 2nd oldest son said "holy smokes". Our car lights hit the creature when we rounded the corner and it looked right at us and than bent down (because it was on two feet) and just like, laid down and disappeared.

Japan Teams Up To Hunt For Alien Life

Japan"s biggest astronomical observatories are teaming up for an unprecedented quest to find out whether there is life in outer space. The project, led by Japanese astronomers, will bring together a dozen or more observatories from all over the country to study one star that researchers see as a potential home to an extraterrestrial civilization. "Everyone wonders at least once in their lifetime whether space is infinite and whether aliens really do exist," said Shinya Narusawa, chief researcher at Nishi-HarimaAstronomical Observatory in western Japan. The search for aliens and UFOs is not new to Japan. Last year, unidentified flying objects grabbed the headlines after a lawmaker submitted a question to the cabinet on whether the country had confirmed any cases of their existence. The government"s answer: no. In the scientific world, Japanese researchers have used antennas to catch radio signals from outer space and analyzed the prisms of celestial lights to see if any laser emissions from space can be found, Narusawa said. Their searches have not been too fruitful so far. The new project will involve multiple astronomers filming onestar over several nights some time next year, along with the usual light analysis and recording of radio signals. "When there are some suspicious signals, sometimes it"s hard to tell whether they are artificial ones coming from the earth, for example from machines, or whether they are coming from the stars in the natural world," Narusawa said.

Ufo Appearance May Cost Bookies $$$

Bookies are facing a million pound plus payout if a psychic's prediction that massive UFO will appear in our skies proves to be true.Australian 'channeler' Blossom Goodchild says a huge intergalactic spaceship from the alien Federation Of Light will appear on Tuesday, 14 October.Bookies William Hill have taken a £1,000 bet from Lawrence Trout, of Wiltshire, which will win him £1million if Ms Goodchild is correct.And they have also taken bets from Ms Goodchild's UK relatives. Her Surrey based niece Rebecca Simpson bet £100 and her step daughter Kelly Mosedale wagered £50.The wording of the bet is that either George Bush or Gordon Brown will confirm the existence of intelligent alien life within the next year. Hills have cut the price from 1000/1 to 100/1."We are slightly nervous but hopeful that Blossom is proved incorrect. We will be keeping our eyes on the skies over the next twenty four hours," said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams."We have always been apprehensive of space based bets ever since we paid out the equivalent of millions when Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon in 1969."UFO websites are buzzing with predictions that the vessel from the alien Federation Of Light will be visible in our skies for three days.
