This Site Is Dedicated To The Countless Witnesses Of UFOs.

My family and I have been witness to multiple ufo sightings. I am not here to debate this issue. I am here to help get the information out there that these things are very real.
I urge people to do some research on this.

The relentless efforts of UFO researchers to expose the truth regarding UFOs and Extraterrestrials is about to bare fruit. We should keep the pressure on the government to release top-secret UFO files in order to explain the abductions and extraterrestrial activities on Earth:


I have been reading up on everything I can get my hands on lately, trying to figure all of this out. Although I am only posting articles and links I feel are honest, I can't possibly be 100% positive. One of the sites I visited, had me almost convinced it was truth, when in fact it was a joke and they weren't even trying to be serious. This taught me a lesson. The author of the site gave me some simple but good advice and I hope everyone is careful when reading any and all of the articles out there, including on my site. Here is what I was told, "You really have to look at all this stuff with a discerning eye. There is so much just plain garbage out there, and stuff that's outright hoaxes." So, keeping this in mind, enjoy.

I would love to hear all your comments.

Please vote on the polls I sometimes have on the side panel. Thanks.

Please report broken Links to hottin_roof@hotmail.com Thank you.

Note: Most of my info comes from very talented bloggers and Youtubers (note: many Youtube videos are unfortunately being removed by Google), one of my sources is the author of Alien Casebook - Alien, UFO, Paranormal (A TRUE ORIGINAL), who was kind enough to create the header for my blog.

As Far As I Am Concerned This Is By Far Some Of The Best Evidence

Missile-Like UFO Reported By Residents of Harbour Mille, N.L. Canada.





Residents of Harbour Mille, N.L., reported seeing three missile-like UFOs fly near their community on the night of Jan. 25, 2010, including this one photographed. (Courtesy of Darlene Stewart)


The unidentified flying objects spotted in January off Newfoundland remain a mystery to the government, despite extensive scrutiny, according to Department of National Defence (DND) documents obtained by CBC News.

The documents contain grainy images of a rocket with a long, fiery tail soaring skyward. The reports rule out missiles and model rockets, but don't suggest what the images might show.

Military experts discredit the possibility of ballistic and cruise missiles. DND's Directorate of Scientific and Technical Intelligence (DSTI) assessed the images and reported: "The object is not a ballistic missile, not a cruise missile in boost phase nor a cruise missile in-flight phase. It is also not a licensed model rocket launcher."

The Jan. 25 sighting happened on the southern coast of Newfoundland near Harbour Mille. Several residents reported seeing the objects, including a woman who was able to photograph one of them. She reported to the RCMP that she had seen three missiles soaring over the ocean and it looked as if they had come up out of the water.

The DSTI says in the documents that the only missiles that can be launched from a submarine are ballistic or cruise missiles, but the country's top arms experts say the object photographed doesn't fit that profile.

"There are no distinguishing features on the object to use for identification … the shape of the flame is atypical of a missile launch," and "the length of the flame is greater than that of the rocket body. This eliminates the possibility that it is a cruise missile jet engine exhaust," said DSTI.

Undetected by Norad
The documents also note that it is the responsibility of the North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad) to "provide aerospace warning and defence for North America," and that neither that agency, nor Canada Command, had any information on the rockets.

"NORAD and [Canada Command] have no evidence to support this sighting" reads the report.

The RCMP conducted an investigation, but according to the Jan. 28 report, the police didn't have an answer either.

"The RCMP … is calling the event an unexplained sighting."

The documents also say there were no navy ships involved, and no Canadian Forces missile exercises at the time.

The government has blocked nine pages and a several paragraphs of the UFO documents from public release.

One of the lines leading into a blocked-out portion reads, "Media reporting has linked the sightings to …"

At the time there was speculation the rockets may have come from a French submarine near St-Pierre-Miquelon, since a few days later the French government announced test-fires of its new M51 ballistic missiles were successful.

In a phone call Friday, however, the Directorate General of Armament for France said that the ballistic test-fires took place on Jan. 27, and not on Jan. 25, the day of the sightings off Newfoundland.

It is not clear if new information was uncovered about the UFO sighting since Feb. 1, as that date marked the closing time frame for the Access to Information request.

CBC News is awaiting the Department of Public Safety's response to the question of whether or not the UFO was eventually identified.

If you have more information on this story, or other investigative tips to pass on, please email investigations@CBC.ca

Stephen Hawkings UFO Blunder?



I haven't been adding to my Blog for so long, and I apologize for that. I was reading one of my favorite sites today, Alien UFO & The Paranormal Times, and I came across what I considered an interesting entry from another excellent site UFO Media Matters by Joe Capp
UFO Media Matters
Non-Commercial blog .




The comments below the entry make it even more interesting.

Here it is below:

Stephen Hawking has made a major blunder when it comes to addressing the alien possibility. Maybe he has been watching too many “Independents Day” reruns. Dr. Hawking warns the populace of the world not to make ourselves known out there in the Universe or we may be very sorry. Steven goes on to imagine a planet of marauders attacking other planets to replace their own depleted resources. Because, of course, it was Stephen Hawking who made the statement, the whole counter scientific argument of “it’s too far to get here from there” is forgotten by the media, at least for a time. So it was all over the media who of course sensationalized it.
But does this argument hold any validity?
Does a species far advanced of us have to attack a world to get what they need? If you were in need of minerals and other materials why would you have to go to a world with complex life and destroy it? Why not just mine the moons. There are eight or nine planets around our sun and many moons around those planets. Not only is there an abundance of minerals on those bodies, but also ,it seems, water. Attacking a planet with 8 billion souls may be harder than it appears. When America went into Baghdad we had all our guns blasting. Our air superiority was second to none of this planet. But once we planted boots on the ground to mop up, we had the same problems we had in any war like this, a long drawn out struggle.
There is no doubt any Extra Terrestrial who managed star travel could destroy us in many ways…but would they have to? Using Mr. Hawking concept wouldn’t it be better to secretly use our world as a launching pad to excavate the moons and planets of our solar system. This could easily be done without undue suspicion from the locals, especially if they still lived a constant species centric existence. Any arguments that ETs couldn’t get away with this are laid to rest by credible reports of UFO craft over a mile in diameter hovering silently over various parts of our planet, never to be challenged. They are not challenged because they give no reason to be challenged. What we know now, from government released classified documents, is that when UFOs were challenged it was always a no- win situation for our pilots. There seems to be a common sense policy in place for all the governments: The governments know they only have a finite number of times they can chase UFOs they cannot catch. That is where we seem to be right now. Unless a UFO makes a nuisance of itself it is left alone.

Could an alien presence go undetected by our top scientists? When the smartest minds on our planet say it’s close to impossible for UFOs to be spacecraft, it becomes a rule in science. Even a monstrous evil ET could spot this and could use it very effectively without the need for violence. When you start to think about any ETs destroying whole planets of intelligent species from star to star you find an unstoppable message that is delivered which precludes any species from doing just that.
Of course the planet that you destroy gets the message but so does other intelligent species in the neighborhood who have star travel. How stupid would these other ETS have to be to ignore the potential wolves at their virtual doorstep?

Stephen Hawking could be accused of other short sightedness when he makes these proclamations. He assumes the materials we consider most important will be what they consider most important ten thousand years from now. I am sorry but the ET reports indicate they may feel the important material to gather is not outside our bodies but inside it. In this case, if you were gathering biological gold destroying a civilization would be crazy. In fact eventual contact may be necessary as the world progresses to discover you.
Think about that. Even now corporations are copyrighting biological material. How important will this material be in a hundred years, a thousand years or even a million? The report from the abductees seems to indicate exactly what ETs are doing here; collecting the very essence of us.
Are there other worlds that will buy these biological products or is the product an absolute necessity for survival and has to be gathered? Life is rarer than minerals and water and if they are here I would bet it’s about life.

It seems Stephen hasn’t really thought this through. Humans are not the template to judge other species actions in the Universe; especially if you are considering an advanced ET. I think we can all admit being hoodwinked by someone much smarter than you is not a disgrace.

Total destruction of a planet is so over the top now as to be ridiculous, and if you think about it, the reported ETs do not, in any way, reflect this idea. What we find seems a much more intelligent and complex being. We find them gathering material from us. We find them at times conditioning us to a presence. We find they are quick to run away and not fight. We find very little evidence of the great weapons we envisioned in our star war science fiction. We find a humbler ET not going out of their way to control us. We find ETs which are not here to save the world either. What is so striking about all this is that when you get into the detail s of reported ET actions and abductions they are not like anything we had imagine., maybe that is because they are real

Stephen Hawking is the one of the best minds our world has ever produced, however there seems to be brighter and wiser minds out there… who prevailed.

One of the markers of a truly advanced species, culture or consortium is efficiency (i.e. economy).

Predation is not an efficient means of sustenance, as it introduces significant risk factors to the dominant entity... and another marker of advanced intelligence is effective risk management.

Hawking blew it, and I hope he takes a [metaphorical] beating for capitulating to his fear, and, worse, for endeavoring to reproduce his phobia on a mass scale.

Dear Anonymous thanks,
I guess my wife is right I am a weirdo and a crank. The interesting part about this is when any UFO case is reported in the news you always have the debunker explaining to everyone how it is impossible to get here from another star system. But good old Steven he can get away with it. I think you are dead on when it comes to Hawking and UFOs. I would like Edgar Mitchell to drop him a note and let Mr. Hawking call him crank or a wierdo.
Thanks

Dear Arvin,
Good point. I would hope that any advanced species would have solved many of the problem perplexing us, otherwise I don't think they would make it. Destroying worlds is a messy business. There may have been, in the past, some cases of Alien nastiness on earth but hardly on an worldwide scale.

Thanks

Ahem..ahem...pardon me..but.....

UFOs, be they aliens or not, have been fucking around with humanity for decades, if not centuries or longer.

They operate in secrecy, conduct a cover-up, and deeply and often traumatically impact people's lives.

Now, I have no idea for sure if UFOs, any of them, represent 'extraterrestrials' however, all evidence gathered to date shows that we have every reason to be deeply suspicious of them.

Just what species do you belong to after all?

We may even be 'ants' relative to these UFO occupants but at least I intend to be on the 'ants' side of the equation.

Blogger: UFO Media Matters - Post a Comment

It's like the 1968 NSA document called UFO Hypothesis and Survival Questions" says, "Up until this time, the leisurely scientific approach has too often taken precedence in dealing with UFO questions. If you are walking along a forest path and someone yells 'rattler' your reaction would be immediate and defensive. You would not take time to speculate before you act. You would have to treat the alarm as if it were a real and immediate threat to your survival. Investigation would become an intensive emergency action to isolate the threat and to determine its precise nature. It would be geared to developing adequate defensive measures in a minimum amount of time. It would seem a little more of this survival attitude is called for in dealing with the UFO problem."

Hawkings is wise to suggest caution. To assume anything about what an alien civilization would do or is doing without real evidence is asking for trouble. You assume a threat until proven otherwise ...unless survival is a secondary goal. Just because a society employs high technology doesn't mean it is advanced socially in such a way that would mesh with human society. And as the document says elsewhere there are certain seeming inescapable sociological and physiological ramifications of contact with a significantly more advanced civilization that would not benefit us in the least.

I think the main thing is "who knows?" and when you don't know it pays to be careful. I think we need to seriously prepare as global community (the U.N.?)for meeting threats coming from off-planet. This includes asteroids, solar flares, and roving bands of alien marauders hell bent on stealing all of our shiny things and wimmings.

Dear Trained Observer,
Could that be the reason SETI hasn't heard anything?
However Stevens' red flag is a false flag. Any sufficiently advanced civilization with star travel would have found easier ways to spot planets like ours. I still believe warlike ET entities would have been taken care of by other advanced species long ago. Of course they could be the top of the stellar food chain in this part of the neighborhood. If that's the case it's probably too late now anyway.
Thanks

They don't have to be warlike at all, just sufficiently "different" or "advanced" to have unintentional adverse effects on human society. There things as bad or worse than "war-like". They might see us as the Christian missionaries saw the natives of the North American continent, savages who need conversion and their brand of "civilization."

We shouldn't assume anything one way or the other, we just need make sure we hope for the best but plan for the worst. Making contact with "ET" (whatever they are, where ever they come from) is going to have its consequences and we need to be prepared for them. Someone knocking on the door and asking for a cup of Dysprosium isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Dear Train Observer,
I fully agree and I don't see us sending messages out to space anymore. I just think at this point in the age of the Universe what ever could have happened would have happened already.
Now, as the probability of life in the universe continues to go up, I think we can say with some certainty that a Alien Napoleon will not show up. Famous last words right?
Thanks again

...Minute 5: "I am discounting reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?"

That's a devastating quote... and not for us cranks and weirdos.

Thanks for sharing it, Anon.

* * * * * * * *

"They operate in secrecy, conduct a cover-up, and deeply and often traumatically impact people's lives."

That sounds familiar. Patriot Act familiar. Death squad familiar. Pat Tillman familiar. All kinds of familiar.

UFO encounters can be quite profound. The extent to which they rise to the level of traumatic, I believe, very often corresponds to our individual and collective response to the phenomenon - and those responses, regardless of their nature, are cultivated in the darkness of societal ignorance: some of it willful; much of it, not (i.e. State cultivation of ignorance through propaganda).

The official and unofficial response: Declaring witnesses psychological aberrations, and/or other sanctions intended to make life extremely uncomfortable for people with the earth-shattering temerity to describe events which contradict the official line/lie.

Now *that* is a veritable fountain of trauma - manufactured, deliberate, systemic, punitive trauma - and it represents a greater immediate threat to me - by far - than any cosmic/transdimensional intelligence I've thus far encountered.

Now, I have no idea for sure if UFOs, any of them, represent 'extraterrestrials' however, all evidence gathered to date shows that we have every reason to be deeply suspicious of them.

Perhaps the evidence validators are cherry-pickers much like the scientists, politicians and bureaucrats they accuse, with ample reason, of intellectual dishonesty.

My life, which I was quite happy with before peeling this onion, has been vastly enriched by my experiences, and I know for a fact I'm not the only one. Far from it.

In fact, one of the things that surprises me is the degree to which people with positive contact experience are frequently perceived as Manchurian Candidates by the same people who keep the tissue box stocked for abductees with horror stories. If it bleeds, it leads.

"Just what species do you belong to after all?"

One that thinks extremely highly of itself, considering the rank exploitation of its poorest, most vulnerable members.

When governments and the governing class invoke concerns about threats, the top of the priority list is reserved for defending the global economic order - the system from which, according to the rule makers, all good things flow. To them.

Over and over, the people and institutions making the rules on the trigger-end of the gun demonstrate that their interests are not mine, and, in fact, are antithetical to interests of the vast majority of human beings and other life forms on this planet.

When adopting a defensive posture, it pays to be cognizant of what one is defending and why.

far worse than Hawkings unwittingly rabble rousing conjecture is the way he refuses to even glance at the vast amount of evidence to suggest that we have always been visited and always will be. It's sad to see Hawking trying to elude the risk of peer discrediting by ignoring all the evidence and hard work of people just a little left of the 'fringe' line.

As for the way the sleepy media's ears perked up at the word 'threat' and have rolled with it like an avalanche no one needed or asked for, well who can blame them? Our media is fear-centric. But this is how people way in the mainstream begin to change beliefs from 'are they out there' to 'how much time do we have to dig a root cellar to hide the kids in before the lasers start falling?" And in a way, that's good, if full disclosure is what you're after.

But I fear full disclosure will be a little like lifting up your blanket after a long night's sleep to find a giant mantis gnawing on your leg, and to realize he's been there the whole time, long before our strain of humanity even began, and we're basically snack food... unless of course we can evolve into a state of energy light and expanded enough to get through their nets and back into the light of pure being. We will cease to have a history as we've ever understood it. The wool is over our eyes for a purpose, and if you wonder why, just watch the news' treatment of 'the alien threat!' Klaatu Barada Niktu, baby!

Dear Erich,
Thank you, I think the other statement he made about UFOs just showing themselves to "cranks" and "weirdos" shows without doubt that I know more about UFOs and who sees them than he does.
Unless you want to put Astronaut Gorden Cooper the hundreds of pilots, scientist, radar operators, State Governors, police and even Presidents into a cranks and weirdos baskets.
The man should read more on subjects he pontificates about.

Most scientists think they have the right to insult other people on their beliefs & ufo sightings and get away with it just becuase they are scientists. They think they have the power because they have a title and I really hate their attitude toward everything else that don't fit their own belief system.

Theoretical physicists and cosmologists talk so much crap and change their mind whenever they want. I usually believe very little of everything they say.

I think Hawking has been watching a lot of "V" episodes lately.

Steven Hawkins,
I could ask Stephen Hawking about the ten top Project Bluebook unknowns and he wouldn't have the faintest idea of what I was talking about. He is an expert at what he does and what he does has nothing to do with UFOs.
This is, and has been, the major problem with scientist. They sound so full of themselves there is no room left for pure science.

"...It's sad to see Hawking trying to elude the risk of peer discrediting by ignoring all the evidence and hard work of people just a little left of the 'fringe' line."

I don't know, it sounds like an intelligent thing to do to me. What "evidence" and "hard work" are you referring to specifically? In other words what evidence are you aware of that would fit the criteria for risking your credibility were you in Hawkings position?

"And in a way, that's good, if full disclosure is what you're after. "

When people talk about Disclosure I have to wonder just where this disclosure of information is supposed to come from. The government? We trust the government to tell us the truth do we? That is assuming they know the truth which seems highly unlikely in any scenario you care to run. You want to hear the government say "aliens are here" or something like that? How do we know they are "aliens from another world" ... because they told us? We should believe them?

Are we hoping for Disclosure from whatever is behind the phenomena? Well, since the phenomena has always been in control of the secrecy and disinformation surrounding it it seems logical to expect any "real" disclosure of information about it to originate there. However, given its track record, it would appear the whatever is behind the phenomena has no interest in "disclosing" anything truthful about itself to us. It hasn't for as long as it has been here (thousands of years?, if so are they really from another planet then?) so why should it change its mind now? If it follows the trend indicated by its history ...it won't.

"...unless of course we can evolve into a state of energy light and expanded enough to get through their nets and back into the light of pure being."

And I wonder what the chances of that happening are? No, really. I would put right up there with Disclosure ...somewhere between slim and none.

It seems to me that the most likely scenario for "Disclosure" is one that involves open war breaking out between Earth's military/security forces and the phenomena or whatever is behind it. This seems pretty remote as well though.

Dear Trained Observer,
Disclosure was movement created by Dr. Steven Greer. Getting the witnesses together and trying to use them effectively could have been a smart move. Then Greer made it impossible to succeed it what they could have really done; release of all classified UFO documents. Instead Greer decided to tell the government publicly what secrets they were keeping. After that the serious journalist said what? Their first press conference was the first and last media attended press conference.
Disclosure hangs on as a word in the UFO community but it means many things to many different people insuring that what ever may be Disclosed in the future we will find some group within our midst saying their lying.
As for Sir Stephen, many of them don't believe in God but sometimes they pontificate just like one.

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



by Bill Cain
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.
