Alien Born From Cow

2009-07-13T13:49:00.000-07:00

This dead alien-like being found in a small town in Thailand was claimed to be born from a cow and seems at first to be a severe case of birth malformation defect. A closer examination however reveal that the alien being resembles too much of a human baby with its front legs looking more like hands than feet.

In the form of a ritual, the local residents pour baby powder onto the dead body and burnt incense in their belief of cleansing the area of evil and hopeful that it will be reincarnated peacefully.

More pics of the alien from a cow in Thailand.

Alien Intercourse

2009-05-22T10:50:00.000-07:00

In June 1994, while working at the Red Flag logging camp

in the northwest portion of Wuchang, Meng Zhaoguo and two

coworkers claimed that they had seen a strange metallic

shine coming from Mount Phoenix. Meng had thought a

helicopter had crashed at the location of the shine. So he

set off towards the site, and as he approached what he

thought was a wreck, he claimed that:

Foom! Something hit me square in the forehead and

knocked me out.

A few nights later, Meng claimed that at his house, he

encountered a female alien with braided fur on her legs:

She was 10 feet (3.0 m) [3.03 metres] tall and had six

fingers, but otherwise she looked completely like a human.

At the time of the encounter, he said he was floating

above his bed and could see his wife and daughter below

him. He said that for 40 minutes, he had sexual

intercourse with the female alien. When they had finished,

the female alien left the room, leaving Meng with a 5 cm

mark on his thigh. A month later, he said he was levitated

through a wall into a spaceship where he encountered some

aliens. He asked if he could see the female alien he had

been with a month earlier. They responded by telling him

that it was not possible. Instead they told him that:

In 60 years, on a distant planet, the son of a Chinese

peasant will be born.

They noted that he would get a chance to see his son.

In September 2003, Meng was checked by a doctor, tested on

a lie detector, and placed under hypnosis in an attempt to

reveal whether or not he had lied about the incident.

Zhang Jingping, who helped initiate the testing, said that

Meng's test results showed that he had told the truth

about his incident. Zhang also said that after a doctor

had checked Meng's scar, they had come to the conclusion

that the scar "could not possibly have been caused by

common injuries or surgery."

A most spectacular sighting

2009-05-10T12:26:00.000-07:00

30 June 1967: Jorge Montoya, officer aboard the ship Argentine "Navier" which sailed in the South Atlantic Ocean 190 km off the coast of Brazil.

The evening was calm and was surprised to see a strange device shaped cigar slip quietly into the water for about fifteen meters behind them.

When Captain Julian Ardanza arrived on deck the mysterious object already sailed alongside the ship following her for 15 minutes.

The object was travelling at a speed estimated at about 30 knots (about 56 km / h), issued a bluish-white light and not let the wake, its length was just over 30 meters.

Without notice pointed toward the merchant and sparkle of light as it accelerated immersed in the vessel rapidly disappearing.

December 2, 1971: Ricardo Espindola and a group of friends to hunt for seals in the Peninsula Valdez in the Gulf of San Matias (Argentina) was taking some photos of the prey captured on the beach, when suddenly the sea began to boil violently and were very large circular object surrounded by a reddish fog silent, without any kind of wake.

The subject pointed toward them and then diverted to the open sea disappearing at unbelievable speed.

Fortunately, the subject was immortalized in a still image taken by Ricardo and represents the first official image of the passage of a USO.

26th July 1980: The tug Caioba Seahorse at sea 100 km from the coast of Brazil near Natal intersection of a strange object floating Gray with a diameter of about ten meters.
At the same time a very intense light was approaching at high speed by flying over the sea.

The chief immediately changed course to avoid collision with the object floating, which began to spread in water several bright hues: yellow, red, green and blue.

When the strong light reached them you saw that it was issued by a body that is oval shining pose a quiet park about 60 meters from the float. The engines of the tug at this point they stopped and the crew of fear and amazement saw the UFO descend slowly sull'Uso pile of water.

Once the contact occurred lights extinguished and the U.S. are the two objects took to rise together.

Having fluctuated for a few minutes, the UFO and its load quickly left the sea. . All of the crew testified to the Brazilian naval dell'avvistamento.

A New Paradigm for a World in Crisis

2009-05-07T15:05:00.000-07:00

EXOPOLÍTICA 2009 European Summit
A New Paradigm for a World in Crisis

The 25th and July 26th 2009 will be an event that will mark a milestone in Spain and set a precedent in Europe. It will be the time that the leaders and push for declassification of the extraterrestrial presence by all governments, whether European, U.S. and the rest of the world, will meet in a historic summit in Barcelona.

We are in a socio-historical moment of a profound social conscience, in which great changes are taking place, and many more are to come. Any significant transformation inevitably entails a deep crisis, and this is undermining the foundations of our civilization. However, we face an unprecedented opportunity to address a new paradigm of development. We and only we, the citizens of this planet are the ones who have the responsibility and the opportunity to help redirect the course of history.

The paradigm of Exopolítica, is the paradigm of the century, in which life does not end in geospatial orbit as has been understood so far, but that life extends beyond it. This profoundly changes the understanding we had of life, transforming the foundations of our civilization. As stated Alfred L. Webre, "may be true that the situation in which our planet is that we are isolated in the midst of a universal inter-planetary, inter-galactic, multi-dimensional evolving in a highly organized". If this is true, and there is enough evidence to support it, has many profound implications for our civilization here on Earth.

Countries like France, England, Canada, Ireland, Denmark, Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Chile and others have been declassified and are declassified its files on unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Statements like those of Nobutaka Machimura, the government spokesman in Japan where it says' Forever 'cree in UFOs (19/12/2007). The Vatican recently (13/05/2008) states that the Christian faith does not believe in aliens, astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell as to assure the press that there has already been contact with extraterrestrials (24/07/2008); personalities like Nick Pope declare before the international press that the Government of United Kingdom since the 80s gave orders to fighter pilots to shoot down UFOs, with no success on their part (26/01/2009). We could continue with numerous reports in the international press to show that is taking place a major change with respect to the question of extraterrestrial life.

We are on the verge of discovering that we are not alone in the universe and that we never have been.

In this prelude, great challenges are taking place worldwide and social paradigm of Exopolítica can provide many tools and aids to address a new paradigm of development. As Albert Einstein said, "we can not solve problems by thinking the same way as when we created." For this reason, the paradigm of Exopolítica involves a leap in consciousness from which we can provide tools and aids that can solve many of the problems we face.

These points and many more that will be presented at the European Summit Exopolítica, which present the strongest evidence of the extraterrestrial presence and discussed the implications and consequences of this reality.

USO VASILY KISELEV

2009-05-04T14:09:00.000-07:00

In August 1965, a crew of the steamship RADUGA, while navigating in the Red Sea, observed an unusual phenomenon. At about two miles away, a fiery sphere dashed out from under the water and hovered over the surface of the sea, illuminating it. The sphere was sixty meters in diameter, and it hovered above the sea at an altitude of 150 meters. A gigantic pillar of water rose as the sphere emerged from the sea and collapsed some moments later.

In December 1977, not far from the Novy Georgy Island, the crew of the fishing trawler VASILY KISELEV also observed something quite extraordinary. Rising vertically from under the water was a doughnut-shaped object. Its diameter was between 300 and 500 meters. It hovered at the altitude of four to five kilometres. The trawler's radar station was immediately rendered inoperative. The object hovered over the area for three hours, and then disappeared instantly.

The testimony of Alexander G. Globa, a seaman from GORI, a Soviet tanker, was published in Zagadki Sfinksa magazine (Issue # 3, 1992) Odessa,. In June 1984, GORI was in the Mediterranean, twenty nautical miles from the Straight of Gibraltar. At 16:00, Globa was on duty. With him was Second-in-Command S. Bolotov.

They were standing watch at the left bridge extension wing when both men observed a strange polychromatic object. When the object was astern, it stopped suddenly. S. Bolotov was agog, shaking his binoculars and shouting: "It is a flying saucer, a real saucer, my God, hurry, hurry, look!" Globa looked through his own binoculars and saw, at a distance over the stern, a flattened out looking object (it did remind him of an upside-down frying pan).

The UFO was gleaming with a greyish metallic shine. The lower portion of the craft had a precise round shape, its diameter no more than twenty meters. Around the lower portion of it Globa also observed "waves" of protuberances on the outside plating.

The base of the object's body consisted of two semi-discs, the smaller being on top; they slowly revolved in opposing directions. At the circumference of the lower disc Globa saw numerous shining, bright, bead-like lights. The seaman's attention was centred on the bottom portion of the UFO. It looked as if it was completely even and smooth, its colour that of a yolk, and in the middle of it Globa discerned a round, nucleus-like stain.

At the edge of the UFOs bottom, which was easily visible, was something that looked like a pipe. It glowed with an unnaturally bright rosy colour, like a neon lamp. The top of the middle disc was crowned by a triangular-shaped something. It seemed that it moved in the same direction as the lower disc, but at a much slower pace.

Suddenly the UFO jumped up several times, as if moved by an invisible wave. Many lights illuminated its bottom portion. The crew of GORI tried to attract the object's attention using a signal projector. By that time Captain Sokolovky was on the desk with his men. He and his Second-in-Command were watching the object intensely.

However, the UFOs attention was distracted by another ship, approaching at the port side. It was an Arab dry cargo ship, on its way to Greece. The Arabs confirmed that the object hovered over their ship. A minute and a half later the object changed its flight's trajectory, listed to the right, gained speed and ascended rapidly.

The Soviet seamen observed that when it rose through the clouds, appearing and disappearing again, it would occasional shine in the sun's rays. The craft then flared up, like a spark, and was gone instantly.

1954 A VERY GOOD YEAR FOR HUMANOIDS

1954 Humanoid Reports. Focus in France. The unprecedented

and until possibly 1973 unduplicated wave of humanoid

reports took place throughout France and some parts of

Italy. Other reports came in from England, US, Germany,

Canada & other European countries but at a much lesser

extent. Towards the end of the year the focus seemed to

shift to Venezuela & Brazil. Whatever the case it was

indeed a memorable year. Following is a list of known

Humanoid reports for the year 1954.

1.
Location. Near Ann Arbor Michigan
Date: 1954
Time: unknown
After contacting supposed extraterrestrials on short wave

radio, Richard Miller was instructed to go to an isolated

location near the city. After 15 minutes a disc shaped

object appeared and landed nearby. A doorway opened in the

base of the vehicle and a staircase descended. He then saw

at the head of the stairway a young man dressed in a brown

one-piece outfit. He beckoned Miller to enter the object,

which he did. He found himself standing in a large

circular hallway, which seemed to encircle the whole

craft. The young man radiated of friendliness, which put

Miller at ease. Miller was then taken to a control room

where he met the "alien" commander, Soltec that greeted

him in perfect English. He was then given a message of

love for the human race & told that we were not ready for

contact.

exited their vehicle and approached the object. The craft

was smooth and silvery and there appeared to be no one

around the object. The witnesses then decided to get even

closer to the object when suddenly a man appeared and

stepped in front of them. He raised his arm and threw what

appeared to be a fireball at them. The fireball passed by

them and struck their vehicle. The witnesses immediately

fled the area, driving to the nearest police station. The

While pushing her son in a baby carriage across the bridge

over the River Save, Mrs Jandot observed a motorcyclist

staring into the sky. Going a few feet further, and seeing

no change in his concentration at something above, she too

looked upwards and, a short way off over a grove of

poplars, just above the river; she saw a motionless,

silent object of oval form and metallic appearance. A

little cone at the rear ejected a white smoke; inside the

object she was able to see two human heads, "heads like

you and me." She thought it was perhaps 4 meters across.

The heads were seen presumably through transparent ports

or windows, although this is not stated. After a short

period of time, the object departed at a vertiginous speed

in the direction of Toulouse. There were two other persons

on or near the bridge who had also stopped to watch, and

whom Mrs Jandot knew. Curiously, not one of the four

witnesses acknowledged to any other having sighted such a

strange spectacle; rather they all continued on their way

as if nothing unusual had just occurred.

An anonymous working man returning home on his scooter was

attracted by a large white light, about 30 meters in width

and about 200 meters away from the witness. He stopped the

scooter and propped it up against a tree and decided to

investigate what the light was. As he approached the light

he noticed that it was a disc shaped craft with a large

dome on the top. Suddenly an opening on the center part of

the dome and a ladder was lowered to the ground. Two

figures then descended to the ground. These were kind of

hard to distinguish since the light from the object was

still very bright. They seemed to be wearing tight fitting

diver suits that covered their bodies except for the head.

They stood around and appeared to converse amongst each

other, soon they noticed the stunned witness and walked

towards him. Paralyzed with fear the witness could not

move and could only stare at the beings. He described them

as about 1.40 meters in height, with large pear shaped

heads, with large slanted eyes and pointed chins. Their

outfits were luminous and very tight fitting, revealing

parts of their anatomy, which was human-like. One of the

beings then spoke in perfect Italian, telling the witness

not to be afraid that they were friendly in nature and

would not do him any harm. He then imparted an anti

nuclear war message and one of peace. Moments later both

figures climbed back inside the object. The witness then

heard a loud whistling sound and the craft became

white-blue and then bright red in color. It rose up

vertically and disappeared at great speed into the sky.

According to the witness at the site where the object had

landed he found a scorched area of about 30 meters in

circumference.

emerged small human figures "which made their way down an

iridescent funnel from the crest of Pt Dume to the ocean."

Going to the cliff edge, he saw that this "conveyor

belt---no more than 24" tall---entered the ship's hold and

emerged carrying bright cylindrical objects," with which

they returned to the ball." There must have bee 5000 of

these grotesque creatures." Then the ball gave a muffled

cylinders. Breaking it open, he found in it 2 lb of

Walking along the coast near Lossiemouth, Cedric Allingham

heard a swishing sound, and looking up, saw through

binoculars a flying saucer only slightly different from

Adamski's. 3 hours later he heard and saw it again, coming

in for a landing 50 yards away. "The whole metallic body,

seemed to glow faintly," but was not translucent; it was

50 ft wide and 20 ft high, resembling polished aluminum. A

6 ft man with a deep tan skin and a high forehead got out.

His garment covered him from neck to toes---he wore no

shoes. In each nostril was a tiny tube. When Allingham

drew planetary orbits, he nodded when Mars was pointed

out, and repeated "Mars." In further exchanges he verified

Allingham's suggestions that the Martian canals consist of

a central string of water surrounded by vegetation.

Allingham touched and photographed the saucer and also

photographed the pilot, from a side rear angle; these

photos are reproduced in his book. A slight humming marked

the take off of the saucer. The interview had lasted ½

hour.

Mrs J and her daughter went outside to investigate a

metallic droning sound, and saw an object passing overhead

at low altitude, at 5 mph or less. It came to a stop, the

noise subsiding, over a tree only 15 ft away. It was

aluminum colored & resembled a rowboat, bout 20 ft long &

10 ft wide; on top was a transparent dome. Inside this

dome 5 seated men were visible facing the witnesses. They

had "rather long faces," dark eyes & hair, and dull olive

complexions, and wore neutral colored uniforms & helmets.

They stared at the witnesses; one in particular gave Mrs J

the impression of "a cold scientific mind dissecting me."

These men looked at them for a full minute, and then leant

back in their seats; the drone began again and the object

moved off toward the NE at about 35 mph.

Monsieur B was walking home when he came upon a brightly

luminous object standing on or hovering over the ground,

only 10 meters away; a discoidal craft 5 meters in

diameter, the upper part more curved, and with a small

dome. Beside it stood a slender man 5"2' tall, wearing a

luminous tight fitting one piece suit including the head.

When he turned toward Mr. B he was seen to have a veil in

front of his face. He spoke some words to a second being,

shorter 4'9" and with a larger head, who wore a similar

garb. On his abdomen this 2nd entity wore a sort of

flashlight, from which a beam of white light was turned on

B, paralyzing him. Then this 2nd entity raised his veil,

revealing a grin on his face that exposed all his teeth.

His forehead was high, the chin & nose pronounced, the

lips very thin, and the complexion dark. The eyes were

white, showing no iris or pupil, and exuded a large brown

tear. The being made beckoning gestures; then both walked

to the craft, got onto it, and vanished into it. B heard a

metallic noise, then lost consciousness. When he came to

himself, the machine was 10 meters above the ground, 50-70

meters away, and was spinning, making a faint noise. Its

shape now differed, showing 2 illuminated portholes on a

bulge. There was an "indefinable" smell. After a bright

flash of light, the object became gold-colored; it rose in

a spiral, the moved off leaving a trail of sparks. The

next day B found flattened greenery at the site.

Several days after Osmo Liene and his brother Esko had

seen a large disc shaped object that flew lover over a

road over them knocking them down and covering them with a

white sandy quartz like substance, Osmo suddenly woke up

after hearing steps and voices talking in an unknown

language approaching the front porch of his house. Osmo

ran to the front door in order to confront the intruders

when the door was suddenly yanked open. Three men then

entered the house. All were described as somewhat shorter

than humans and having oriental eyes. The leader seemed to

be a young man of about 19 years of age, who asked Osmo if

he was the "young boy who built radios." Osmo said yes and

then the stranger marched into his room and explored

Osmo's radios. During the whole episode Osmo's family

remained sleeping. The younger of the men approached

Osmo's father and looked down on him with a benevolent

expression. The second intruder looked to be about 35

years old and was carrying a bag. This man sat on the

table in the living room and told Osmo to sit on the end

of the table. A small TV-set like device was then

produced; it had a monitor and a peg on top. The man

lifted the device to the table in front of him. The third

man appeared to be the eldest, seemed to be about 45-50

years old stood next to the window looking out, apparently

standing guard. Suddenly big drops of sweat began rolling

down his face as if he was feeling ill. Osmo suggested

some water, but was told, "It was the air they were

breathing, that it will soon pass." Osmo tried to turn the

lights on but was forbidden by the strangers. Osmo was

told to sit on the table and an "interview" ensued. The

35-year-old man after each questing would crank the peg on

the TV-like device and an image would appear on it

apparently showing Osmo in apparently future scenes and

situations. He was shown images of his future life all the

way up "to the end." At one point Osmo attempting to touch

the peg himself but was angrily reprimanded. Osmo noticed

that he was able to understand what the men spoke if he

looked directly at them, but if he turned his head he

could only hear a murmur like sound. The men then

conducted an "experiment" on Osmo, which felt like some

type of electric shock and he soon fell into a state of

ecstasy. He was then apparently interviewed in length. The

men eventually left out the front door.

Two weeks later Osmo woke up to a yellow light in his

room. He then saw a very friendly elder man standing next

to the bed waiting for him to get up. Also the previous

visitors were also present. The eldest seemed to be their

leader. Osmo was requested to sit beside the table and to

be interviewed again. One of the men had the same TV-set

like device in his hand. The elder man apparently began

asking the same questions as before. During the interview

the other men began performing other chores around the

house. One carried a bottle-sized cylinder, apparently a

medical device. The elder man apparently instructed the

others in how to use this device. The men apparently

lifted Osmo's still sleeping father up and a strange

headphone device placed on his head, next was Osmo's

brother and then his mother. Osmo was apparently allowed

to use the TV-like device and the cylinder before the men

departed. They all shook hands with Osmo and left.

Rubem Hellwig, a rice planter, was driving home when he

noticed a strange object some 50 meters away. It was about

the size of a Volkswagen and was shaped like a rugby

football. A man of slim build and brownish complexion,

about 5'2" tall, was seated in it, and another outside was

picking capon grass and handling it in to him. This man

came over to Hellwig, carrying a bottle of reddish liquid,

and asked where he could get a small quantity of ammonia

that he needed. This request was made in an unknown

tongue, yet Hellwig understood it. He directed him to the

drugstore in a nearby town. The man thanked him and

returned to the craft. A circle of bluish yellow

luminosity appeared around it, "making it appear round,"

and from each side of the cabin protruded 4 3" tubes; a

yellowish flame shot out through these tubes, and the

vessel vanished instantly.

Emelino Martinez was walking back from his hunting trip in

the hills outside of the city when there was a sudden

movement in the bushes nearby. Martinez stopped,

motionless, shotgun in the ready, when the thrashing noise

sounded again. He waited briefly then resumed his walk

toward his parked automobile. Suddenly he heard a blood

curling guttural noise. Terrified he dropped his day's

catch and ran for his car, parked in a nearby clearing. An

unintelligible shout behind him indicated that whatever

creature it was, it was close to him. He stopped for an

instant to glance back toward his pursuer. He then saw two

bizarre creatures running after him. They were short, and

looked like a half man, half monkey. They were covered

with dark hair. Martinez reached the car fumbling with his

pockets for the keys. He dropped the keys and picked them

up and attempted to open the car. He was then suddenly

grabbed from behind. He fell together with his assailant

into a ditch besides the road. He dropped his shotgun as

two powerful arms closed over his throat. He managed to

bake free and scrambled towards the car. The creature

jumped on top of him, screaming, growling, and biting like

a mad animal. He could not reach his shotgun, so he

grabbed a large rock and repeatedly smashed his attacker

on the head. Screams of pain slashed through the dark

night. Martinez saw his attacker move backward, blood

spurting from his head wounds. He then dashed to his car.

He snapped the door locked as the two creatures lunged

against the car, pounding their hairy fists against the

windows in frustrated rage. He managed to start the car

and drove away at very high speed directly to the police

station. The next day, Martinez and some friends returned

to the site and recovered his shotgun they also found some

blood stained leaves. They questioned locals and were told

that strange disc shaped objects had been seen in the area

and that; cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and two young

farmhands had disappeared on the mountain. The farmers

have also seen black, bristly haired dwarfs that hid in

caves and kidnapped both livestock and humans. Martinez

never returned to the area to hunt again.

Carlos & Anita Jimenez had just returned home from

shopping on a clear sunny Sunday afternoon. Carlos

unlocked the outside door and both carried their groceries

into the kitchen, and while they were stocking the

cupboards, Anita heard a noise upstairs. She went to the

foot of the courtyard stairs to listen again and sounds

resembling soft footsteps. Both, with Carlos in the lead,

went upstairs to check. They examined all three bedrooms

on the floor and there was no sign of any intruders. As

they walked past their own bedroom, Anita had a strong

feeling that someone was in there. She grabbed her

husband's arm and both waited for almost a minute. And

then they heard the soft footsteps inside the bedroom.

Together they rushed through the open doorway. They

stopped short, gaping in astonishment. Standing on the

other side of the bed was a beautiful young woman. She

looked shocked at first, and then her expression was a

blend of frustration and dismay. Anita described the

intruder as about 5-feet six inches tall and slender, with

a honey gold tan and an exuberant mass of curling and wavy

auburn hair. She had golden hoop earrings and sandals to

match. And she wore skimpy attire. Anita described it as

an "avocado green French swimsuit" and a bolero jacket of

the same color with elbow-length sleeves. The intruder had

what looked like a white plastic cast on her left forearm.

Surprise both asked the intruder who she was and what was

she doing in their house. The intruder looked at them for

a long moment, and then relied in halting Spanish, "My

name if Jelu, I am not from here." The she lifted her left

forearm. The Jimenez couple saw twinkling multicolored

lights along its length. The woman began tapping it as if

were a typewriter. Instantly a wall of fine red mist

appeared between them and the intruder. Ignoring the

witnesses shouts of surprise, "Jelu" turned and faced the

stucco wall behind the bed. She began tapping her thick

plastic wrist device again. Carlos rounded the bed in an

attempt to detain her. But as his fingers made contact

with the mist, he let out a scream and tumbled to the

carpet. Anita rushed to her husband's side. White faced

and gasping, Carlos tenderly cradled his stricken hand.

His fingers and thumb were covered with small red

blisters. Suddenly a circle of golden light appeared on

the wall, as it there was a hand held flashlight on the

other side. The light circle swiftly grew until it reached

from the floor to the ceiling. The light was soft and

resembled "oil floating on water." The intruder stepped

into the light and vanished. The red mist disappeared as

well. As Anita pushed open the latticework shutters, she

was surprise to see the intruder meters down the street,

heading north towards La Compania church. In disbelief

Anita realized that the woman had only left 20 seconds

ago, and if not for her towering auburn style hair, she

never would have seen her, for the intruder was now

wearing typical Andean clothes. Both attempted to chase

the strange woman but she was seen to hail a local cab and

disappear from sight. The police was notified of the

incident.

Harold Carpenter, an employee at a local state, over a

period of several weeks had kept hearing a very loud, deep

humming noise, which lasted for about two or three

minutes. The noise always seemed to occur between four and

five o'clock in the morning. One morning, very curious,

Carpenter rose from his bed, quickly got dressed and

quietly stepped outdoors. With the humming noise still

audible, and seeming to emanate from the southwest, Harold

set off to walk to a wooded area known locally as Sunny

Calvert. Determined to track down the source of the

humming noise, and having come this far Harold clambered

down a deep slope to where the sound seemed to be coming

from. Harold peered down and was shocked to see a strange

looking device. It resembled a mushroom without a stem.

The object was gray in color and seemed to be hovering

about eight to ten feet above the ground. Harold came to a

vantage point amongst the trees where he could actually

see the underside of the craft. It was definitely hovering

above the ground. It was about 15 to 20 ft in diameter

across the base, which housed what looked like a lip on

the inside bottom. Even more startling was the sight of up

to five "peculiar looking beings" gathered underneath the

craft on the surface below. The beings were about four to

five feet tall, and carrying what looked like "pound jam

jars" with a handle in one hand and an implement

resembling a pair of tweezers in the other. The beings

used these to pick up bits of twigs and leaves before

placing them in the clear glass looking jars. As the

beings wandered around picking up various samples, all

kept very close to the craft, which hovered silently

above. The humming sound had now stopped. All wore the

same one-piece gray; flexible looking suits that stretched

over their feet. It also covered their heads much like a

Balaclava. Their faces were exposed and Harold could see

that these were human like but totally expressionless,

with normal human like eyes. If they had any ears, the

one-piece suit hid them from view. They had a snout-like

nose, resembling that of a "pig." Their mouths were

similar to humans, and so were their hands, until Harold

noticed they didn't appear to have thumbs. While observing

in fascination, Harold had inch closer and closer, until

he suddenly realized that he was only to within 10 ft of

the craft. At this moment one of the beings suddenly

looked up and with the same expressionless face, stared

directly at him. Without so much as a sound or movement,

it somehow alerted the others to Harold's presence, for

the rest suddenly stopped what they were doing and slowly

began to retreat to the craft, which had descended to

hover barely two feet of the ground. One by one the beings

disappeared underneath the craft by means of its lip. The

craft then began to rise, at which point Harold saw one of

the beings climb through a type of "gate" housed on the

inside of the lip which then closed. The craft slowly

continued to climb, moving slightly to one side towards a

clearing among the trees. It gradually gained altitude and

speed. It suddenly emitted a flash of light and departed

at incredible speed.

her. She approached and climbed four "stairs" which led to

A farmer saw an orange object land in his field.

Approaching, he saw a domed disc so brilliant that it

illuminated the fields for more than 200 yards around. It

was transparent, and a dark shape could be seen

silhouetted inside it. After 10 minutes the luminosity

changed from white to red, and it took off. At the spot

was left a slowly settling luminescent mist. Arriving

home, the witness found his clothes covered with a soft

white substance resembling paraffin, which soon

creature as having a large bulbous head, no neck. It had a

huge and ungainly body supported on ridiculously short

legs. It had webbed feet. It had no hands, its long

fingers jutted from its arms like stalks. Its eyes were

about four inches across, red in color. There was no nose,

just two holes and the mouth was simply a straight slash

across an appallingly lecherous face. Its skin was green

in color and it was possible to see red veins running

through its ungainly form. It was a definitely a male. The

figure moved towards the two witnesses as Doreen stood

transfixed, removing her clothing. At the same time the

humanoid was beaming "very obscene" thoughts into her

brain. Just as it reached her, it suddenly floated

backwards and vanished.

A man named Roelants was bicycling near the St Joseph

dairy when he saw a bright light suddenly descend from the

sky. The light then landed on the concrete road emitting a

loud thumping sound. At this time the light dimmed.

Roelants, who at this time had slowed down found himself

about 50 meters from the landed object. A few moments

later the object rose vertically and flew at high speed

towards Holland. As it rose up the light again became

visible. After the object departed Roelants examined the

area where it had landed with a flashlight. He did not

find any ground traces but reportedly found a small box

containing a parchment covered with an illegible writing.

Later it was determined that the small ivory case

contained a Hebrew extract of the book of Dteuronomy,

giving this incident a curious religious connection.

saw a light by the road ahead. As they approached, they

saw that it came from the interior of an object shaped

like a fat shell. This object was about 6 ft in diameter

and 7.5 ft high, and rested on 3 1-foot legs. It was a

whitish metallic color. A wide opening gaped in it on the

side facing the road; within could be seen thick cables

and a very stout space suited being about 4 ft tall,

apparently about to step out. He was encased in "rolls"

like the "Michelin tire man" and wore boots & a very broad

helmet. His face was not seen. The Mozins passed within 15

came within 300 ft of the object, and came on again 300 ft

wore a sort of gray tight fitting one piece coverall

covering the feet, short gray cloaks, and doublets with

shiny buttons; on their heads were helmets with leather

earflaps. They were speaking a language that sounded like

Chinese, 'liu, lai, loi." Their mouths showed strong,

rather protruding teeth. Approaching Lotti, they snatched

from her the carnations and one of her stockings; wrapping

the flowers in the stocking, they threw them into the

circular object, carrying it in the crook of the arm.

Lotti ran away; she looked back after 100 yards & saw the

M Raymond R, and a 13-year old boy noticed a gray object

on the edge of the woods; they approached through the

woods to within 130 ft of it. It was about 30 ft in

diameter and a total of 16 ft high; it had a 10-foot

cupola in which was a row of portholes. It made a humming

sound like a transformer. A man not more than 5 ft tall

stood near it; he wore a transparent suit, apparently made

of plastic, with black clothing beneath it, and a dark

gray helmet that rested on his shoulders. On his back,

beneath the suit, was something that gave him a humped

appearance; on his chest was a small shiny black box.

Moving heavily, he walked about near the saucer. Raymond R

took 7 photographs, only 4, which came, out well. The man

returned to the UFO through a door at its base; then two

others came out, in the same costume. One of them carried

a sort of pistol with funnel shaped barrel, the other a

white ball as large as 2 fists. They went to the place

where the first man had been, turned their backs, and did

something that produced a blue luminous smoke. At this

point they boy, frightened, ran off through the woods

toward a nearby road. Immediately one of the portholes of

the cupola became green luminous, and a beam swept the

area where he was running. Some 20 seconds later, with a

loud whistling sound, the saucer took off vertically…R

found the boy paralyzed, but this quickly passed off. At

the site where the UFO had been, the grass was burnt and

the earth blackened and strewn with a sort of cinders,

over a radius of 3 meters. Raymond found also a part of

the white ball, which was a cottony substance but as heavy

as lead, and a yellow powder resembling sulfur, which was

also very heavy. Soon after collecting this powder in a

paper, his fingers began to burn, and next day were

blistered and blackened. The powder was later analyzed and

found to consist largely of silver nitrate. At 1505, 9

orange luminous objects crossed the sky, and one of them

landed in exactly the same spot, with a soft whistling

sound. The witnesses were 600 ft away and dared not to go

closer. After 10 minutes the UFO took off again, with a

hutch; he was keeping watch by it at night. Suddenly he

noticed a white discus shaped object floating toward him

at about 5 mph. It had no lights and no markings, and was

only as big as a large plate. As it flew low over him, he

jumped up, trying to touch it, but could not quite reach

it. It flew away. The next day, or perhaps a day later, he

felt almost paralyzed all day, and was in the infirmary.

That night, he was awaked in his bed when he saw a misty

mass, as wide as the bed, form at the foot of the bed; it

passed up the bed toward his head, "freezing" his body

with cold where it passed. Then it stopped, and 3 figures

materialized from the mist at the bed's foot, and then

moved up to him, 2 on one side, 1 on the other, and bent

over him. He felt they were going to help him, to "make me

robes like a monk's habit; he could not see their faces,

and cannot describe their hands. He tried to speak to

them, but they did not answer. He has no memory of their

Farmer Pedro Morais, noticing alarm among the chickens,

perceived an object hovering with an oscillating motion;

its bottom resembled "an enormous polished brass kettle,"

its upper part was "like a jeep." In a nearby field he

then saw 2 small human figures "enveloped in a kind of

yellow sack from head to toe." As he approached, one ran

toward him, the other raised his arm. One knelt down &

plucked a tobacco plant, then both jumped into the craft,

which vanished within a few seconds.

The witness, fishing in a river near his home, saw an

unusual craft land a few hundred feet away. His dog began

to howl. Through the telescopic sight of his gun he could

see a small sphere revolving around a larger one, which

hovered 6 ft above the ground. At the bottom was a 3-ball

landing gear. 3 occupants, human looking but quite small,

emerged & came down to the ground; they were agile, with

rapid movements. One held a luminous basket, the other a

metal tube with a cone shaped end; with those they

collected calcareous material from the river's edge,

sucking it up into the tube & discharging it into the

basket. They then got back into the object, which took off

at high speed. The witness found square holes in the

ground.

18-year old jockey Jose Parra, out on a training run, came

upon 6 very hairy little men loading rocks into a disc

shaped craft which was hovering less than 9 ft from the

violet light, and he found himself paralyzed. The entities

jumped aboard their craft & it took off. At the site were

found footprints "neither animal nor human."

Wong Yi Moi, a young Chinese girl had been tapping rubber

trees near the edge of a large estate not far from the

Trolak River when suddenly she heard a rustle in the grass

behind her---before she could turn, she was seized by

powerful arms, which were covered with dense, black hair.

Struggling, she managed to look over her shoulder and

found herself staring into a face that was straight out of

a nightmare, with two long, blackened fangs jutting out

from between thick lips. In a frenzy of horror, she saw

two more ape-like creatures standing by the edge of the

forest. Their skin appeared to be white beneath its

covering of black hair, and their faces were distorted by

fearsome grins. The two creatures by the trees were over

six feet in height, and wore loincloths. Each carried a

knife slung from the waist. The creature struggling with

Wong Yi appeared to be a female. She wore a yellowish

skirt made of bark and uttered weird, croaking cries.

Finding additional strength the young Chinese girl

succeeded in tearing herself free. As she fled, she

snatched one terrified glance over her shoulder, but the

creatures were moving away back into the forest. Two other

people had also spotted the "fang men" along the banks of

the Trolak River within hours of Wong Yi Moi's experience.

The first was a corporal in the Malaya Police, Abdul

Talib, who had been on patrol with a security detachment.

On seeing the three weird creatures on the opposite bank

of the river, the corporal raised his rifle and all

three-ape creatures dived into the river and swam out of

sight. The second witness was an Indian rubber tapper

named Appiasamy. Hairy arms too had grabbed him from

behind. Breaking free he had run for his life only to fall

headlong down a rocky slope, bruising himself badly.

As they were traveling by car to Mendoza on Route # 143, a

group of seven persons saw brilliance at the side of the

road. It was a luminous object resting in a nearby field,

emitting a bluish light, about 100-200 meters away.

According to the description of Prof Maria Luisa de Amaya,

it had the form of 2 deep dishes placed together edge to

edge. They could not make out any structural details. The

witnesses stopped the car, got out, and walked toward the

object. When they were about 50 meters from it, they noted

that there were 2 human figures next to it, of normal

height, wearing one piece diver's suits of a dark color,

their heads covered with a kind of cowl. One of them was

crouching next to the object. After he got up, the 2

individuals entered the UFO through a sort of rectangular

door, the object began to emit smoke or gas form its

equatorial region, at the same time that it rose up

vertically and then stopped a few meters from the ground,

throwing out 2 flickering red lights. Alarmed, the

witnesses returned to the car and started off at high

speed. The object followed them for 20 minutes, until,

with the first light of dawn, they could no longer see it.

"I must say that if listeners could see for themselves the mass of reports coming in from the airborne gendarmerie, from the mobile gendarmerie, and from the gendarmerie charged with the job of conducting investigations, all of which reports are forwarded by us to the National Centre for Space Studies, then they would see that it is all pretty disturbing."
Robert Galley, French Minister of Defence (1974)

" . . . It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, heard that there is a plan to release some, if not all, of this material in the near future."
Senator Barry Goldwater,
Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (1975)

"As the [Iranian Air Force] F-4 continued pursuit south of Tehran, a second brightly-lit object detached from the original UFO and headed straight for the F-4 at a high rate of speed.

“. . . The classification was, from the outset, above Top Secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials and politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defence, were never in the loop . . . The time has come to lift the veil of secrecy and let the truth emerge so there can be a real and informed debate about the one of the most important problems facing our planet today.”
Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Minister of Defence (2005)

I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam.

Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program.

?It was the darndest thing I?ve ever seen. It was big, it was very bright, it changed colours, and it was about the size of the moon.

Former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter following his sighting along with many others of a UFO at Leary, Georgia in October 1969.

?The phenomenon of UFOs is real. I know that there are scientific organisations which study the problem.?

Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev on 26th April 1990.

?This is the first sighting in Zimbabwe where airborne pilots have tried to intercept a UFO. As far as my Air Staff is concerned, we believe implicitly that the unexplained UFOs are from civilizations beyond our planet.?

Air Commodore David Thorne, Director of General Operations for the Zimbabwe Air Force in 1985.

?The Air Force has arrived at the conclusion that a certain number of anomalous phenomena has been produced in Belgian airspace. The numerous testimonies of ground observations?.reinforced by the reports of the night March 30-31 (1990) have led us to face the hypothesis that a certain number of unauthorised aerial activities have taken place.

The day will undoubtedly come when the phenomenon will be observed with the technological means of detection and collection that won?t leave a single doubt about its origin.

This should lift a part of the veil that has covered the mystery for a long time; a mystery that continues to be present.

But it exists, it is real, and that in itself is an important conclusion."

Colonel Wilfred De Brouwer, Chief of Operations for the Belgian Air Force in 1990 following a spate of sightings over the country witnessed by hundreds of people. Many of the sightings were confirmed on radar.

Here are some great UFO quotes that shed light on the deceptive nature of the "alien" presence.

"But the UFO phenomenon simply does not behave like extraterrestrial visitors. It actually molds itself in order to fit a given culture."
- John Ankerberg, The Facts on UFOs and Other Supernatural Phenomena, p. 10

"Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception."
- Dr. Jacques Vallee, Messengers of Deception, p. 20

"We are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon which is largely indigenous to planet earth."
- Brad Steiger, [cited in] Blue Book Files Released in Canadian UFO Report, Vol. 4, No. 4, 1977, p. 20

"We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us."
-Terrence McKenna [from a lecture]

"One theory which can no longer be taken very seriously is that UFOs are interstellar spaceships."
- Arthur C. Clarke, New York Times Book Review, 07/27/75

"There seems to be no evidence yet that any of these craft or beings originate from outer space."
-Gordon Creighton, Official 1992 Flying Saucer Review Policy Statement

"A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestation and 'possession.' Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena."
- Lynn E. Catoe, UFOs and Related Subjects: USGPO, 1969; prepared under AFOSR Project Order 67-0002 and 68-0003

"UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it... the modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical."
-Dr. Pierre Guerin, FSR Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 13-14

"The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon..."
- John A. Keel, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse, p. 299

"A working knowledge of occult science...is indispensable to UFO investigation."
-Trevor James, FSR Vol. 8, No. 1, p.10

"Studies of flying saucer cults repeatedly show that they are part of a larger occult social world."
-Stupple & McNeece, 1979 MUFON UFO Symposium Proceedings, p. 49

"The 'medical examination' to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscient of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks."
- Dr. Jacques Vallee, Confrontations, p. 13

"The symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is imbedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture...the structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals...the UFO beings of today belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult] entities that were described in centuries past."
-Dr. Jacques Vallee citing the extensive research of Bertrand Meheust [Science-Fiction et Soucoupes Volantes (Paris, 1978); Soucoupes Volantes et Folklore (Paris, 1985)], in Confrontations, p. 146, 159-161

"[The occultist] is brought into intelligent communication with the spirits of the air, and can receive any knowledge which they possess, or any false impression they choose to impart...the demons seem permitted to do various wonders at their request."
- G.H. Pember, Earth's Earliest Ages and Their Connection with Modern Spiritualism and Theosophy (1876), p. 254

"These entities are clever enough to make Strieber think they care about him. Yet his torment by them never ceases. Whatever his relationship to the entities, and he increasingly concludes that their involvement with him is something 'good,' he also remains terrified of them and uncertain as to what they are."
- John Ankerberg, The Facts on UFOs and Other Supernatural Phenomena, p. 21

"I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate... 'Whitley' ceased to exist. What was left was a body and a state of raw fear so great that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis into a condition that seemed close to death...I died and a wild animal appeared in my place."
- Whitley Strieber, Communion, p. 25-26

"Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal. There are worse things than death, I suspected... so far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me...Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons ...At the very least I was going stark, raving mad."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 44-45

"I wondered if I might not be in the grip of demons, if they were not making me suffer for their own purposes, or simply for their enjoyment."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 172

"I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace. It was hell on earth to be there [in the presence of the entities], and yet I couldn't move, couldn't cry out, couldn't get away. I'd lay as still as death, suffering inner agonies. Whatever was there seemed so monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were demons. They had to be. And they were here and I couldn't get away."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 181

"Why were my visitors so secretive, hiding themselves behind my consciousness. I could only conclude that they were using me and did not want me to know why...What if they were dangerous? Then I was terribly dangerous because I was playing a role in acclimatizing people to them."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 96

" . . . we have lost many men and planes trying to intercept them."
Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding General, Air Defense Command (1953)

What If

2009-04-27T16:26:00.000-07:00

What if this project was never shelved

Under the cover of darkness on 07 October 1959, a convoy of military vehicles escorted a flatbed truck through the abandoned streets of Malton, Canada just outside of Toronto. Local police had arranged to clear the route from a top-secret aircraft hangar to Toronto harbor, so the drivers paid little mind to traffic laws as they traversed the city. Upon arrival at the harbor the concealed cargo would be transferred to a US Navy tugboat, where it would make its way to a special NASA research facility in the United States under close guard. The exaggerated security was understandable given the circumstances: The secret stowed beneath the truck's tarps was a real-life flying saucer.

If eyewitness reports are to be believed, the skies over the United States were swarming with unidentified flying objects during the early 1950s. Such sightings were not unheard of previously, but never before had the reports been so frequent and widespread. Some people suspected hoaxes and hysteria, and others speculated about otherworldly origins. While few doubted that there was something strange lingering in America's air, US military leaders were skeptical that the blobs of light were piloted by moon-men or martians. They were quite concerned, however, about the possibility that the blob-occupants were Russian-speaking.

There had long been credible rumors of secret Nazi "flying disk" attack planes being tested during the final few months of the Third Reich, and with the sharp rise in saucer sightings US officials wondered if Soviet scientists might have plundered and perfected the technology. Fortunately, the US wasn't too far behind; by the mid 1950s they had their own flying saucer program well underway.

John C.M. "Jack" Frost John C.M. "Jack" Frost The United States' venture in flying saucer technology began in 1953 during a routine visit to Avro Aircraft, an outfit located in Malton. A gaggle of US defense experts were inspecting the shiny new CF-100 fighter jet when their tour was commandeered by a company engineer named John C. M. Frost– better known as "Jack" Frost. Frost was a highly accomplished aeronautics designer, as well as the head of the company's Special Projects Group. He showered the unsuspecting Americans with enthusiasm and information regarding one of Avro's secret but recently abandoned ideas. Frost's "Project Y" was a flat, wedge-shaped theoretical aircraft intended to lift off vertically like a helicopter while also possessing the speed, agility, and high-altitude capabilities of a jet fighter.

The Americans were understandably intrigued, particularly when Frost shared a series of sketches outlining further advancements. His tantalizing new idea described an extremely maneuverable frisbee-shaped aircraft, capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and able to reach an altitude of 100,000 feet and speeds up to Mach 3.5. The US military eagerly adopted the orphan project, rejuvenating the research with $750,000 in funding and renaming the platform to "Weapons System 606A."

US interest in VTOL aircraft was motivated largely by the lingering threat of nuclear war. Just a few years earlier, Soviet scientists had exploded their first atomic bomb using uranium liberated from the Nazis and plans pilfered from the Americans, an event which prompted some significant changes in defense philosophy. Military strategists were concerned about the fact that conventional jets had to be concentrated around airfields in order to remain practical, making each military airbase a likely target and a liability in the event of a nuclear war. In contrast, a widely dispersed Air Force made up of supersonic VTOL flying saucers would be much more resilient. The military men were tickled at the prospect.

Over the following months the members of the Avro Special Projects Group labored under a veil of secrecy in their secure hangar. Only a handful of employees had access to the building, and armed guards at each door scrutinized all credentials. In the company machine shop, workers fabricated individual parts based on separate schematics, and upon completion all drawings were taken away in special bags to be destroyed. Few had even the vaguest notion what sort of clandestine goings-on were being undertaken in the notorious Experimental Hangar.

Cutaway view of the Avrocar (click for larger image)Cutaway view of the Avrocar (click for larger image)A rudimentary version of Frost's flying saucer slowly materialized over the following months. It employed a unique configuration of his own design, sporting a large central turbine that was driven by the thrust of six inward-facing Viper jet engines. The rapidly spinning turbine would act as a gyroscope to keep the machine balanced, while also sucking air from above the craft and squirting it out through a series of downward-pointing vents around the lip of the saucer. At low altitudes, this would provide a ground effect cushion of air to support the vehicle's weight, and the thrust could then be routed through a network of ducts and flaps to rapidly launch the craft into the sky in any direction. Frost and his team affectionately referred to this unique design as the "pancake engine."

When the aviation experts of the Special Projects Group first began unmanned testing inside a special rig, the prototype proved problematic. The contraption had a tendency to ooze oil, and on several occasions it caught fire as a result. One nearly-fatal incident with a rogue jet engine left workers very wary of the apparatus, and Frost concluded that the best course of action would be to scale the design down into a more manageable prototype.

In 1958 Frost approached his military investors with a revised concept. This new layout was more compact at only eighteen feet in diameter; and it was less complex, with three jet engines rather than six. His crew called their new concept the Avrocar. Air Force officials were delighted that they might see a working prototype sooner than expected, and the US Army expressed interest in using the new pint-sized version as a "flying jeep." Members of Avro's management were similarly excited, envisioning a whole line of Avrocar spinoffs, such as the Avrowagon for the jet-setting family of the future, and the Avroangel for use as an airborne ambulance. Many of the military personnel who were privy to the project suspected that the Avrocar and its cousins would one day render the helicopter obsolete.

Avrocars depicted as flying jeepsAvrocars depicted as flying jeepsIn May of 1959, the first Avrocar prototype was carted out of its top-secret hangar for its initial tethered flight test. The prototype requirements had originally called for a ten-minute hover capability and twenty-five mile range, but Frost calculated that his team's prototype would be capable of reaching 250 miles per hour, 10,000 feet in altitude, and 130 miles in range. But as the unmanned vehicle struggled to hover inside its protective rig, the team of engineers were discouraged to see that its performance was much poorer than anticipated. It was soon discovered that the vehicle was inhaling its own hot jet exhaust, causing a sharp reduction in engine efficiency. A few months' tinkering did little to circumvent the problem, so the Special Projects Group decided to pack it on a flatbed truck and send it to the US tugboat for wind-tunnel testing at NASA. In the meantime, they revised the internals of the second model.

On 29 September 1959, the reworked Avrocar #2 was ready for testing. Test pilot W.D. "Spud" Potocki clambered into the tethered experimental vehicle and strapped himself into the cramped cockpit. The trio of engines roared to life, and Potocki verified that the instrument panel didn't indicate any problems. He gently increased the throttle, and the violently vibrating vehicle responded by ponderously pulling its feet from the earth. He inched the craft into the air as he got a feel for the controls, but at about 3-4 feet up something unexpected happened. The craft tilted sharply to the side, and began to oscillate uncontrollably like a dropped hub cap spinning on its rim. The test pilot immediately cut the engines, and the Avrocar dropped to the ground.

Through the rest of 1959 and the two years that followed, Frost and his team tested a series of modifications which made gradual improvements to the aircraft's abilities. To resolve the "hubcapping" problem, a central stabilizing jet was added by drilling holes in the bottom center of the body, and the team enhanced the vehicle's lift characteristics by installing a reworked flap system. By April 1961, the design was sufficiently improved that "Spud" Potocki was able to hover around the compound with relative ease, at times reportedly reaching speeds over 100 miles per hour. Test pilot "Spud" Potocki in the Avrovcar prototypeTest pilot "Spud" Potocki in the Avrovcar prototypeOn cold days, the Avrocar's wind could suck the frozen water off the tops of the puddles and the glassy sheets of ice would float through the air. But for all of its improvements, the Avrocar was still dangerously unstable while maneuvering, and unable to safely hover much higher than 3-4 feet above the ground. The cockpit was also plagued by an oppressive amount of heat and noise from the three internal jet engines.

As ever, Frost's mind was bristling with potential solutions, but in spite of the incremental improvements the US military had become disenchanted with the flying saucer concept. After spending eight years and $7.5 million, the Air Force officially canceled funding in late 1961, and the Avrocar project collapsed under its own weight. Jack Frost left Canada an embittered man, but he eventually settled down at Air New Zealand where he applied his ingenuity to more ordinary aircraft improvements such as hydraulic tail docks and air-conditioning systems. He found some measure of joy in his new work, but he never really stopped grieving for his unrealized flying saucer ambitions. Many of his discoveries went on to benefit the development of the modern hovercraft, a vehicle which some fittingly described as nothing more than an Avrocar in a short rubber skirt.

Although Jack Frost died in 1979, he was posthumously inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame in 2001 for his novel ideas in the art of aeronautics. Both of Frost's Avrocar prototypes are still somewhat intact today; one is on display at the US Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, Virginia, and the other is collecting dust and rust in a National Air and Space Museum storage building in Silver Hills, Maryland.

The Avrocar in storage at the US Army Transportation Museum The Avrocar in storage at the US Army Transportation Museum Perhaps with a bit more time and few more resources, Jack Frost's ingenuity and tenacity could have eventually brought this revolutionary aircraft to fruition. Had it not been for the shortage of patience and imagination on the part of military officials in the 1960s, we might all be hovering around in our Avrowagons today, bemoaning the price of jet fuel and dodging supersonic soccer moms who are too busy talking on their video cell phones to keep their eyes on the sky. Once again, the future that might have been seems far more impressive than the reality that we must accept.

Area 51

2009-04-27T11:23:00.000-07:00

Area 51, a military facility in the Nevada desert, is supposedly home to captured alien spacecraft. But according to recently declassified information, many of the UFO sightings in the area may be attibutable to the A-12 Oxcart, a futuristic-looking spyplane that was tested at the facility in the 1960s. Or maybe that's just what they want us to believe.

Area 51. It's the most famous military institution in the world that doesn't officially exist. If it did, it would be found about 100 miles outside Las Vegas in Nevada's high desert, tucked between an Air Force base and an abandoned nuclear testing ground. Then again, maybe not— the U.S. government refuses to say. You can't drive anywhere close to it, and until recently, the airspace overhead was restricted—all the way to outer space. Any mention of Area 51 gets redacted from official documents, even those that have been declassified for decades.

It has become the holy grail for conspiracy theorists, with UFOlogists positing that the Pentagon reverse engineers flying saucers and keeps extraterrestrial beings stored in freezers. Urban legend has it that Area 51 is connected by underground tunnels and trains to other secret facilities around the country. In 2001, Katie Couric told Today Show audiences that 7 percent of Americans doubt the moon landing happened—that it was staged in the Nevada desert. Millions of X-Files fans believe the truth may be "out there," but more likely it's concealed inside Area 51's Strangelove-esque hangars—buildings that, though confirmed by Google Earth, the government refuses to acknowledge.

The problem is the myths of Area 51 are hard to dispute if no one can speak on the record about what actually happened there. Well, now, for the first time, someone is ready to talk—in fact, five men are, and their stories rival the most outrageous of rumours. Colonel Hugh "Slip" Slater, 87, was commander of the Area 51 base in the 1960s. Edward Lovick, 90, featured in "What Plane?" in LA's March issue, spent three decades radar testing some of the world's most famous aircraft (including the U-2, the A-12 OXCART and the F-117). Kenneth Collins, 80, a CIA experimental test pilot, was given the silver star. Thornton "T.D." Barnes, 72, was an Area 51 special-projects engineer. And Harry Martin, 77, was one of the men in charge of the base's half-million-gallon monthly supply of spy-plane fuels. Here are a few of their best stories—for the record:

On May 24, 1963, Collins flew out of Area 51's restricted airspace in a top-secret spy plane code-named OXCART, built by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. He was flying over Utah when the aircraft pitched, flipped and headed toward a crash. He ejected into a field of weeds.

Almost 46 years later, in late fall of 2008, sitting in a coffee shop in the San Fernando Valley, Collins remembers that day with the kind of clarity the threat of a national security breach evokes: "Three guys came driving toward me in a pick-up. I saw they had the aircraft canopy in the back. They offered to take me to my plane." Until that moment, no civilian without a top-secret security clearance had ever laid eyes on the airplane Collins was flying. "I told them not to go near the aircraft. I said it had a nuclear weapon on-board." The story fit right into the Cold War backdrop of the day, as many atomic tests took place in Nevada. Spooked, the men drove Collins to the local highway patrol. The CIA disguised the accident as involving a generic Air Force plane, the F-105, which is how the event is still listed in official records.

As for the guys who picked him up, they were tracked down and told to sign national security non-disclosures. As part of Collins' own debriefing, the CIA asked the decorated pilot to take truth serum. "They wanted to see if there was anything I'd for-gotten about the events leading up to the crash." The Sodium Pentothal experience went without a hitch—except for the reaction of his wife, Jane.

"Late Sunday, three CIA agents brought me home. One drove my car; the other two carried me inside and laid me down on the couch. I was loopy from the drugs. They handed Jane the car keys and left without saying a word." The only conclusion she could draw was that her husband had gone out and gotten drunk. "Boy, was she mad," says Collins with a chuckle.

At the time of Collins' accident, CIA pilots had been flying spy planes in and out of Area 51 for eight years, with the express mission of providing the intelligence to prevent nuclear war. Aerial reconnaissance was a major part of the CIA's pre-emptive efforts, while the rest of America built bomb shelters and hoped for the best.

"It wasn't always called Area 51," says Lovick, the physicist who developed stealth technology. His boss, legendary aircraft designer Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson, called the place Paradise Ranch to entice men to leave their families and "rough it" out in the Nevada desert in the name of science and the fight against the evil empire. "Test pilot Tony LeVier found the place by flying over it," says Lovick. "It was a lake bed called Groom Lake, selected for testing because it was flat and far from anything. It was kept secret because the CIA tested U-2s there."

When Frances Gary Powers was shot down over Sverdlovsk, Russia, in 1960, the U-2 program lost its cover. But the CIA already had Lovick and some 200 scientists, engineers and pilots working at Area 51 on the A-12 OXCART, which would outfox Soviet radar using height, stealth and speed.

Col. Slater was in the outfit of six pilots who flew OXCART missions during the Vietnam War. Over a Cuban meat and cheese sandwich at the Bahama Breeze restaurant off the Las Vegas Strip, he says, "I was recruited for the Area after working with the CIA's classified Black Cat Squadron, which flew U-2 missions over denied territory in Mainland China. After that, I was told, 'You should come out to Nevada and work on something interesting we're doing out there.' "

Even though Slater considers himself a fighter pilot at heart—he flew 84 missions in World War II—the opportunity to work at Area 51 was impossible to pass up. "When I learned about this Mach-3 aircraft called OXCART, it was completely intriguing to me—this idea of flying three times the speed of sound! No one knew a thing about the program. I asked my wife, Barbara, if she wanted to move to Las Vegas, and she said yes. And I said, 'You won't see me but on the weekends,' and she said, 'That's fine!' " At this recollection, Slater laughs heartily. Barbara, dining with us, laughs as well. The two, married for 63 years, are rarely apart today.

"We couldn't have told you any of this a year ago," Slater says. "Now we can't tell it to you fast enough." That is because in 2007, the CIA began declassifying the 50-year-old OXCART program. Today, there's a scramble for eyewitnesses to fill in the information gaps. Only a few of the original players are left. Two more of them join me and the Slaters for lunch: Barnes, formerly an Area 51 special-projects engineer, with his wife, Doris; and Martin, one of those overseeing the OXCART's specially mixed jet fuel (regular fuel explodes at extreme height, temperature and speed), with his wife, Mary. Because the men were sworn to secrecy for so many decades, their wives still get a kick out of hearing the secret tales.

Barnes was married at 17 (Doris was 16). To support his wife, he became an electronics wizard, buying broken television sets, fixing them up and reselling them for five times the original price. He went from living in bitter poverty on a Texas Pan handle ranch with no electricity to buying his new bride a dream home before he was old enough to vote. As a soldier in the Korean War, Barnes demonstrated an uncanny aptitude for radar and Nike missile systems, which made him a prime target for recruitment by the CIA—which indeed happened when he was 22. By 30, he was handling nuclear secrets.

"The agency located each guy at the top of a certain field and put us together for the programs at Area 51," says Barnes. As a security precaution, he couldn't reveal his birth name—he went by the moniker Thunder. Co-workers travelled in separate cars, helicopters and air planes. Barnes and his group kept to themselves, even in the mess hall. "Our special-projects group was the most classified team since the Manhattan Project," he says.

Harry Martin's speciality was fuel. Hand picked by the CIA from the Air Force, he underwent rigorous psychological and physical tests to see if he was up for the job. When he passed, the CIA moved his family to Nevada. Because OXCART had to refuel frequently, the CIA kept supplies at secret facilities around the globe. Martin often travelled to these bases for quality-control checks. He tells of preparing for a top-secret mission from Area 51 to Thule, Greenland. "My wife took one look at me in these Arctic boots and this big hooded coat, and she knew not to ask where I was going."

So, what of those urban legends—the UFOs studied in secret, the underground tunnels connecting clandestine facilities? For decades, the men at Area 51 thought they'd take their secrets to the grave. At the height of the Cold War, they cultivated anonymity while pursuing some of the country's most covert projects. Conspiracy theories were left to popular imagination. But in talking with Collins, Lovick, Slater, Barnes and Martin, it is clear that much of the folklore was spun from threads of fact.

As for the myths of reverse engineering of flying saucers, Barnes offers some insight: "We did reverse engineer a lot of foreign technology, including the Soviet MiG fighter jet out at the Area"—even though the MiG wasn't shaped like a flying saucer. As for the underground-tunnel talk, that, too, was born of truth. Barnes worked on a nuclear-rocket program called Project NERVA, inside underground chambers at Jackass Flats, in Area 51's backyard. "Three test-cell facilities were connected by rail road, but everything else was underground," he says.

And the quintessential Area 51 conspiracy—that the Pentagon keeps captured alien spacecraft there, which they fly around in restricted airspace? Turns out that one's pretty easy to debunk. The shape of OXCART was unprecedented, with its wide, disk-like fuselage designed to carry vast quantities of fuel. Commercial pilots cruising over Nevada at dusk would look up and see the bottom of OXCART whiz by at 2,000-plus mph. The aircraft's titanium body, moving as fast as a bullet, would reflect the sun's rays in a way that could make anyone think, UFO.

In all, 2,850 OXCART test flights were flown out of Area 51 while Slater was in charge. "That's a lot of UFO sightings!" Slater adds. Commercial pilots would report them to the FAA, and "when they'd land in California, they'd be met by FBI agents who'd make them sign non-disclosure forms." But not everyone kept quiet, hence the birth of Area 51's UFO lore. The sightings incited uproar in Nevada and the surrounding areas and forced the Air Force to open Project BLUE BOOK to log each claim.

Since only a few Air Force officials were cleared for OXCART (even though it was a joint CIA/USAF project), many UFO sightings raised internal military alarms. Some generals believed the Russians might be sending stealth craft over American skies to incite paranoia and create widespread panic of alien invasion. Today, BLUE BOOK findings are housed in 37 cubic feet of case files at the National Archives—74,000 pages of reports. A keyword search brings up no mention of the top-secret OXCART or Area 51.

Project BLUE BOOK was shut down in 1969—more than a year after OXCART was retired. But what continues at America's most clandestine military facility could take another 40 years to disclose.

The newspaper had published this image under the title: "The strange shapes photographed over London". The story was very convincing: "Derek Burdon was shocked when he found that these forms were in the upper right corner of the image. That morning, Mr Burdon was mounted on the 16th floor to take some views from the roof of the Orion House in Covent Garden.“ He wished to clarify that these forms were invisible when taking the photo."

National Intelligence Examiner: UFO incident: Shut down of nuclear missiles by UFO witnessed by USAF captain, garners media coverage

2009-04-16T09:27:00.001-07:00

Posted using ShareThis

For decades a strict security oath kept captain Robert Salas of the USAF from reporting his experience of UFOs shutting down several nuclear missiles. Salas was in charge during an alarming incident at his Montana base early on the morning of March 24, 1967, when his missiles shut down after a UFO fired a pencil-thin red beam into the silos. Yet in 1995, he decided it was more important to break the secrecy than to honor his security oath.

After his initial revelation, Salas was encouraged that there were no negative repercussions, yet he was also in disbelief at the total lack of media interest in his riveting story. Still, the word spread among those with interest in UFO incidents. To date, at least 115 other ex-USAF witnesses have now come forward with their UFO stories, largely thanks to the courage of captain Salas.

In 2005, Salas took another giant step by co-authoring a book on the incident, Faded Giant: The 1967 UFO/Missile Incidents. Salas says this matter is too important for him to keep quiet. The media have been strangely silent about the stories of Salas and many other military officers who have come forward with testimony of direct involvement in UFO incidents. Yet the courageous captain received some consolation last week when the Herald Tribune of Sarasota, Florida featured him in an excellent article. In it, he describes how ABC initially showed interest in his story around the time his book was published. Here's a quote from that revealing article:

“I had high hopes for the Peter Jennings [UFO] special,” says Salas in reference to the ultimately feckless ABC prime-time “investigation” in 2005. “They seemed really interested. They flew me out to Dallas and got two, three hours on videotape. But a week before the show, they called and said, ‘Sorry, we’ve got to cut you out.’ I don’t know if somebody got to them or what. My own speculation is that these objects were saying we shouldn’t be messing with nuclear weapons because we might destroy ourselves.” But maybe that’s not news.

Salas was one of the key witnesses in the revealing book Disclosure, compiled by former emergency room director Dr. Steven M. Greer of the Disclosure Project. This amazing book is a compilation of the testimony of over 60 respected government and military witnesses to eye-opening UFO incidents. Here's an excerpt from Salas' riveting story in the book.

My security guard says, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate—I’m looking at it right now. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn”.…The nuclear-tipped warheads went into a “no-go” condition, meaning they could not be launched. That morning we lost anywhere from between 16 to 18 ICBMs at the same time UFOs were in the area and were observed by airmen. Bob Kominski headed up the organization to look at all aspects of these shutdowns. He was told by his boss that the Air Force said, “Stop the investigation. Do no more on this, and do not write a final report.” This is very unusual, especially in light of the fact that headquarters was stating that this was of extreme importance. (pp. 168-171. For more, click here.)

For key excerpts of UFO testimony from high-ranking witnesses in this astounding book, visit this link. And here's a nine-minute clip of the testimony of this UFO incident by captain Salas given at Washington, D.C.'s esteemed National Press Club on May 9, 2001, along with 20 other government and military officials.

Salas is one of literally hundreds of former military and government witnesses who have come forward to share their direct experiences with major UFO incidents. Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon has also been outspoken of his knowledge of the UFO phenomenon. And just last week the Los Angeles Times reported on five witnesses who worked at the suspected center of many UFO controversies, Area 51, of which the government continues to deny the existence. These witnesses, one of whom acknowledges he was commander of the base in the 1960s, have come forward declaring not only the reality of Area 51, but of a major underground research complex and reverse engineered aircraft there.

Why is all of this not making media headlines? Why isn't the UFO issue being discussed widely in public forums and by our politicians? The box immediately below provides several ideas on what you can do to make a difference in informing the public and pressuring the media to do its job in reporting on all UFO incidents for which we have highly reliable military and government witnesses. We also invite you to comment below and let us know what you think. Are these military witness heroes or traitors for breaking their security oaths and talking about major UFO incidents?

A strange world exist beneath our feet

2009-04-13T11:08:00.000-07:00

A strange world exist beneath our feet? Strange legends have persisted for centuries about the mysterious cavern world and the equally strange beings who inhabit it.

More Ufologists have considered the possibility that UFOs may be emanating from subterranean bases, that UFO aliens have constructed these bases to carry out various missions involving Earth or humans.

Belief in a subterranean world has been handed down as myth, tale, or rumour down the generations from all over the world. Some of these stories date back to ancient times and tell tales of fantastic flora and fauna that can be found in the caverns of ancient races. Socrates spoke of huge hollows within the Earth which are inhabited by man, and vast caverns which rivers flow.

A legendary large cavern supposedly exists below Kokoweef Peak in south western California. Earl Dorr, a miner and prospector, followed clues given to him by Indians. He entered Crystal Cave in the thirties and followed a passage down into Kokoweef Mountain until he attained a depth of about a mile. There, he entered a large cavern which he proceeded to explore for a distance of eight miles. At the bottom of the cavern, a river flowed, rising and falling with the lunar tides, and depositing black sands rich in placer gold along its banks. One day, crazed by fever, Dorr used dynamite to seal shut the entrance to his fabulous cavern, and started a legend that still lures men to seek the fabled wealth below Kokoweef.

Nowhere is the belief in a subterranean world more prevalent than with the Indians of North America. The Hopis believed they emerged from a world below the earth through a tunnel at the base of the San Francisco peaks near Flagstaff.

There are also legends about mysterious Mount Shasta in northern California. The mountain is said to have housed a race of surviving Lemurians who built a sanctuary in the depths of the earth to escape the catastrophes which befell them. These Lumerians allied themselves with space travellers who built a saucer base inside the mountain.

Whether ancient cities exist in caverns below the earth is anyone's guess, but it's a fact that governments have built underground tunnels and facilities for a variety of reasons. The Chinese, Russians, Vietnamese all built subterranean tunnels and bases. It shouldn't come as a surprise that America has been building its own underground world.

An elusive report in the August 7, 1989 edition of U.S. News and World Report, reveals the secret plan to carry on government in case of a disaster. The plan is called "Continuity of Government" or COG. The article stated that COG is the government's ultimate insurance policy should Armageddon ever arrive, providing the program runs smoothly. In 1982, a new secret agency, the Defence Mobilization Planning Systems Agency was created and reports to the President. In the event of a nuclear attack, special teams equipped with war plans, military codes, and other essential data would accompany each designated presidential successor to secret command posts around the country. Besides the president, another 46 key officials named in the Joint Emergency Evacuation Plan (JEEP) would be evacuated. There are 50 of these underground command post bunkers located in 10 different regions of the country, and each is linked with others via satellite or ground-wave relays.

The U.S. Air Force sponsored research in deep underground construction as early as 1958. The RAND corporation carried out this research, and published proceedings from symposiums held on the subject of construction methods and equipment, utility installation, and the use of nuclear bursts to produce underground cavities.

A great concern to underground construction engineers was the problem of ventilation. They considered it advisable to take into account all types of ventilation contamination, and not just radioactive fallout. Underground works included ingresses, egresses, and accommodations. The first two are generally provided for by shafts or tunnels, while the third requires larger openings, such as halls, chambers, cells, vaults, or other open spaces. Many problems in design and construction are common to all three, but the problems associated with the larger openings in the rock, required for accommodation purposes, are generally more complex and difficult than those for the smaller openings of tunnels or shafts. Operation and maintenance of underground installations can also pose special problems.

Huge boring machines with large-diameter disc-grinders are used in constructing tunnels. Tunnels are needed to link one accommodation area to another, or one facility to another.

The English Chunnel project is the largest engineering project in Europe, and w links France and England through a three-tunnel railway. The eleven boring machines used in the project were so large and so long that they were assembled in underground areas 65 feet high. Six of the machines are dug the submarine tunnel between the Dover Strait and Pas de Calais and five dug the land tunnels leading away from the channel to aboveground terminals. The front of the boring machine contains tungsten-tipped picks that workers guide with the use of laser projections on video screens.

These boring machines are like huge, steel-encased worms. Sealed in each machine are teams of 35 men who line the cavity of the tunnel with concrete and guide the muck down the track. The machines bore the hole, remove the earth, and pave the inside of the tunnel with precast concrete segments. The digging face of the machine is a 95-ton, 28-foot-6-inch diameter disc, divided into cutting blades. The borer is 300-feet long.

The September, 1983 Omni ran a picture story on the "Subterrene," a nuclear tunnel-boring machine developed at Los Alamos. The machine burrows through deep underground rock, heating it to a molten state (magma), which cools after the Subterrene moves on. The result is a tube with a smooth, glazed lining that can be used for the high-speed transport shuttles that link the sub-base complexes.

Interestingly enough, an inventor named Charles Kaempen has invented a composite pipe that has enormous tensile strength. Kaempen has developed an undersea transportation tube that uses his unique system of lock coupling and merely has to be laid on the sea floor, obviating the need for excavating and tunneling. He has made a proposal to Spain to link Spain and Morocco using his new tube technology.

Tunnel boring is undergoing a boom according to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal (Dec. 12, 1990). Susan Nelson, director of the American Underground Space Association is quoted in the article as saying, "There is simply a lot more interest in the world these days in tunneling and use of the underground in general." It says the underground is crowded with government-funded mega-projects and proposed projects. The Spanish want to put a tunnel through the Pryenees and bore a road to Morocco on the African coast. The Norwegians want to burrow under the fiords. The Japanese are toying with tunneling through to South Korea. The Canadians are building a tunnel from New Foundland to Prince Edwards Island. In America, there are 87 public-works projects planned in the next three years alone.

Bear in mind the fact that these are all classified as civil engineering projects. Where civil engineering goes today, military engineering has already gone yesterday. In 1959, the Rand Report carried photos of the giant Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). Large scale military engineering projects may have made extensive use of these machines since the fifties.

Tunneling is getting a boost because of the increasingly crowded global landscape. Planners in Northern Italy are burying stretches of a freeway in a tunnel to avoid cutting a road through historical important forest and farmlands.

Mr. Russell J. Miller of the Colorado School of Mines and director of the Center for Space Mining in Boulder, Colorado, is working on studies to determine the feasibility of putting space bases and cities underground on Mars and on the moon. Of course, someone from somewhere else may have already beaten Mr. Miller to the punch.

Informants have told us that underground facilities utilize transport tubes to shuttle workers to and from work. This is more than a subway. These tube trains use high technology. It isn't surprising, then, to learn that Frank P. Davidson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a plan to unclog the airways by designing electric "wingless airplanes" that hurtle across continents and oceans in sealed tubes or tunnels that are essentially frictionless vacuum chambers. Perhaps he should meet with Dr. Kaempen and consider using his composite pipe as the tube.

Underground diggers have their own society called "Moles," who find talk of tunneling and tunnels spicier than most of us surface dwellers.

It's no secret that governments have built their own secret underground railways and tunnels. China's leaders built secret rail tunnels under Bejing that would enable them to flee in a crisis. According to a Chinese civil servant, the tunnels linked leader's homes, government buildings, the central bank and an army base. That sounds like a well-thought-out-plan. Grab your prized possessions, cash from the bank, armed guards from the base, and run like hell! The network was built up over a period of 40 years as a defense against foreign invaders. We can be sure that what China has done we have done.

Japan, dense and overcrowded, is giving serious thought to living underground. They are planning to build underground sewage plants, underground railroads, and underground cities. According to a recent issue of Omni, The Taisei Corporation is planning to build a subterranean mall called "Alice City." There would be underground stores, offices, hotels, theaters, and sports arenas. Strolling spaces would meander through interior spaces populated with trees, birds, fish tanks, bridges, and waterfalls. The Shimizu Corporation has a blueprint for constructing an underground grid that would span 2,000 square miles underneath Tokyo. This grid would contain a number of commercial centers connected by subway trains that could shuttle workers to and from work.
According to science-writer Isaac Asimov, there are advantages to living underground. For one thing, no one would worry about the weather. The temperature could be held at a fairly constant level, between 55 and 60 degrees F, and a lot of energy used for heating and cooling could be saved. Without the diurnal sun cycle, no one would know day from night. People could be working around the clock or playing around the clock, depending on their penchant. All transportation, communication, and housing could go underground, freeing the surface world from human trampling. The surface of the planet would have a few nice restaurants and recreation centers where people could observe clear blue skies, the returning planet and animal life, and have room for all to roam on a weekend hike. Earthquakes would cause only one-fifth the damage to underground structures that they cause to surface structures.

Alternative 3
In a provocatively speculative book entitled Alternative 3, author Leslie Watkins proposes that scientist have become concerned with the state of the Earth's atmosphere, a scenario that is much easier to accept these days. Secret meetings between scientist produce three alternatives for handling the imminent danger.

"Alternative 1" was a plan to blast holes through the stratosphere to release heat and pollution.

"Alternative 2" was a plan to relocate Earth's population in massive underground caverns drawing fresh, cool air from the soil (Perhaps there is a real Alternative 2 in progress).

"Alternative 3" was to escape the Earth and go to Mars. We will consider Alternative 3 later. Whether any real such alternative plans exist is not being argued here, but the concepts are useful in examining the future directions of secret projects.

The Atomic Energy Commission initiated Project Plowshare in 1957 to develop peaceful uses of nuclear explosives. It has explored the use of nuclear blasts to build harbors, dams, highway cuts, and canals, and to stimulate oil and natural gas production by following up the widely used practice of detonating ordinary chemical explosions in oil- and gas-bearing strata. The first test of this technique, known as Project Gasbuggy, took place 4,240 feet below ground in a desolate area of New Mexico know as the San Juan Basin, on December 10, 1967, where a 26-kiloton nuclear "device" was exploded in a sealed well.

While Gasbuggy was only a single experiment, the A.E.C., in partnership with Austral Oil Company of Houston, subsequently began the first of what promised to be a long series of even larger nuclear explosions, on the order of two 100-kiloton shots each year, for a period of 10 years or more. The first explosion, known as Project Rulison, was a 40-kiloton shot, some 8,400 feet below ground at a site near Rifle, Colorado, on September 10th, 1969.

A method that has been suggested to build bases on the moon may already be in operation on Earth. With the use of controlled nuclear blasts it will be possible to excavate cavities beneath the lunar surface. A missile could be used to drill a hole approximately 50 feet deep, then a second blast would produce a cavity about 45 feet in diameter. An igloo would be constructed over the hole, a plastic bag dropped down the cavity and filled with air. The work area and living quarters would then be constructed.

It may prove more efficient and practical to "house" future moon colonies in artificial or natural caves beneath the lunar surface, than to attempt construction of exposed meteorite domes. Living quarters, spacious parks, lakes, and wooded areas could be constructed underground. A transportation tube would connect various colonists to other ports and distant parts of the moon.

Back on Earth, we have reports of equally suspicious parks. An ex-security officer, who once worked underground in the Groom Lake area of Nevada, said he once saw a baseball diamond and an Olympic-sized swimming pool in one of the caverns a mile below the Nevada desert.

What's going on in the deep underground tunnels below Mercury Base at the Nevada Test Site? After hearing the story of Bob Lazar on KVEG radio, a construction worker called Billy Goodman rang Bob Lazar to say, "We are the construction workers...we put things together and take them apart...of the meeting of seven people, there are two who will come forward to support you." This mysterious caller further said, "There's more than just tunnels down there. There's everything you can imagine down there. I know because we put it up. We installed. We did everything."

Informants have mentioned underground tunnels and facilities in New Mexico at Dulce, Sunspot, Datil, Corona, Taos Pueblo, and Albuquerque; in Arizona in the Santa Catalina Mountains; in Colorado at Delta, Grand Mesa, and Colorado Springs; in California at Needles, Edwards AFB, Tehachapi Mountains, Ft. Irwin, Norton AFB, and Morongo Valley; in Nevada at Blue Diamond, Nellis AFB, Groom Lake, and Papoose Lake areas, Quartzite Mountain, and Tonopah.

I became interested in a possible underground installation in the Techachapi Mountains in the summer of 1988. A young couple, Ray and Nancy, reported that they had gone to a plateau in the mountains after Ray's shift work had completed at the Northrop Plant. Ray was inspector on the B-2 project. The plateau is adjacent to the perimeter of the leased Tejon Ranch where Northrop has built a secret underground facility. It was about one o'clock in the morning when Ray and Nancy spotted a brilliant orb coming out of the ground which flashed light in their direction. They could not account for two-and-half hours of missing time. Ray thought that they had the orb under observation for about an hour, yet the next memory is of sunrise! Under hypnosis, Ray recalls being abducted and taken to an underground base populated by little grey EBEs and Air Force and security personnel. The EBEs were examining Nancy who had been restrained on a metal table. Ray's emotions swelled under hypnotic recall of the incident.

A local man claims he saw a flying saucer emerge and take-off from a silo on the property.

A disgruntled contractor reported that he worked on constructing the tunnels in the underground area and was bothered by the Air Force probes that were often seen hovering in the tunnels. He described these probes as small orbs, and said that this facility was nicknamed "The ANTHILL" because of its resemblance to underground ant colonies. The tunnels have round doorways without doors. Adjacent to the doorways are security panels with red and green lights. There are some kind of cylinders embedded in the doorway jams that project a field of energy of some sort.

Black helicopters have been sighted around Boynton and Secret Canyon near Sedona, Arizona. A man living in Long Canyon has sighted a lot of strange things in the canyon areas, and residents suspect a secret government installation has been established in, of all places, Secret Mountain! One of my investigators hiked to Secret Canyon late one night and was stopped by a voice on a loudspeaker and a laser-targeting light on his chest. He was told he had entered a restricted area and to turn around and leave.

We have now spotted and photographed the small orbs around the "Anthill." These orbs definitely exhibit the peculiar characteristics reported in other UFO sightings.

Since that time, we have located two other secret facilities. One is at a place in the Mojave-Desert called Llano. It is an extremely secure facility, but witnesses have seen an extremely bright light burning atop a pylon inside of a movable behemoth- sized structure. This light does not illuminate the interior of the structure! Orbs have been seen in the vicinity of this facility as well.

We can only conjecture about what secret programs are being conducted away from preying eyes. The underground can and does hold all sorts of secrets. Some of the most amazing revelations about what goes on in the underground projects comes from a mysterious informant named Thomas, and who claims there is, indeed, a deep dark secret harboured underneath the imposing mountainous elevations of Northern New Mexico.

Some of the most amazing revelations about what goes on in the underground projects comes from a mysterious informant named Thomas, and who claims there is, indeed, a deep dark secret harbored underneath the imposing mountainous elevations of Northern New Mexico.

The Deep Dark Secret at Dulce

Dulce is a sleepy little town in northern New Mexico of about 900 population located above 7,000 feet on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. There is only one major motel and a few stores. It's not a resort town and it is not bustling with activity. But, according to a few outsiders, Dulce harbors a deep, dark secret. The secret is harbored deep below the tangled brush of Archuleta Mesa. The secret is said to be a joint government-alien biogenetic laboratory designed to carry out bizarre experiments on humans and animals.

New Mexico State Police Officer Gabe Valdez was drawn into the mysteries of Dulce when called to investigate a mutilated cow in a pasture 13 miles east of Dulce on the Manual Gomez ranch. Gomez had lost four cattle to mutilations between 1976 and June 1978 when a team of investigators which included Tom Adams arrived from Paris, Texas to examine the site of the carcasses.

Curious as to how cattle were being selected by the mysterious mutilators, an interesting experiment was conducted on July 5, 1978 by Valdez, Gomez, and retired scientist Howard Burgess. They pinned up about 120 of the Gomez beef cattle and moved them through a squeeze chute under an ultraviolet light. They found a "glittery substance on the right side of the neck, the right ear, and the right leg." Samples of the affected hides were removed as well as control samples from the same animals. Schoenfeld Clinical Laboratories in Albuquerque analyzed the samples and found significant deposits of potassium and magnesium. The potassium content was 70 times above normal.

Some investigators attribute the mutilations to aliens from UFOs. UFOs have been seen frequently around Dulce. Sightings of strange lights and other aerial phenomena have been reported in many areas where the cows have been found at the time of the reported mutilation.

On April 19, 1988, I arrived in Dulce to visit with Gabe Valdez and inquire about the sightings, the mutes, and the rumors of an underground alien base. Snow was still on the ground. I checked into the Best Western Motel and called Valdez to make an appointment to see me at 9:30 PM. I found Gabe to be a very congenial host, offering to show me around the roads of Dulce that night and point out some various locations where he had found mutilated cows or had seen strange aerial lights. He made the astounding statement that he was still seeing unidentified aircraft at the rate of one every two nights. We took a look at the Gomez Ranch, the road by the Navajo River, and the imposing Archuleta Mesa. Gabe had found landing tracks and crawler marks near the site of the mutes, and was convinced that scientist Paul Bennewitz of Thunder Scientific Labs in Albuquerque, was definitely on the right track in his attempts to locate the underground alien facility in the vicinity of Dulce. No one knew for sure where the facility was located or how humans or aliens gained secret entry to the facility.

I had first heard of Paul Bennewitz in 1980 when my friend Walter called me from Albuquerque and told me he had been working with Paul on electronic instruments. Walter informed me that Paul had not only photographed UFOs, but had established a communication link with their underground base at Dulce. Bennewitz had first come to prominence during the August, 1980, sightings over the Manzano Weapons Storage Area at Kirtland AFB. A Kirtland AFB incident report dated October 28, 1980 mentions that Bennewitz had taken film of the UFOs over Kirtland. Paul, who was president of the Thunder Scientific Labs which was adjacent to Kirtland gave a briefing in Albuquerque detailing how he had seen the aliens on a video screen. At the time, the aliens were transmitting signals to him from a base underneath Archuleta Mesa.

Researcher William Moore claims that the government agents became interested in Bennewitz's activities and were trying to defuse him by pumping as much disinformation through him as he could absorb. Whether Paul's communication with supposed aliens at the Dulce Base was part of this disinformation campaign is unclear. If we believe that Paul is the single source of reports on the Dulce Facility, then discounting Paul's story and discrediting him could be a tactical maneuver. The actual disinformation maneuver would result in making the public believe there was nothing to the Dulce story.
PROJECT BETA
In a report entitled "PROJECT BETA," Paul states that he had spent two years tracking the alien craft; that he had constant reception of video from an alien ship and underground base viewscreen; that he had established constant direct communications with the aliens using a computer and a form of hexadecimal code with graphics and print-out; and claims to have used aerial and ground photography to locate the alien ship's launch ports charged beam weapons. Paul claimed that the aliens were devious, employed deception, and did not adhere to agreements. He and Walter were working on a weapon that would counter the aliens.

Have we crossed over from the land of the real world to the land of science-fiction? But then, bizarre phenomena may have its roots in a bizarre reality. As we continue our studies, the world of science-fiction will become the world of science-fact.

Paul Bennewitz had investigated the case of abductee Myrna Hansen of New Mexico, who reported having been taken to an underground facility in May 1980. Christa Tilton of Oklahoma claims she had an experience of missing time in July, 1987, when she had been abducted by two small grey aliens and transported in their craft to a hillside location where she encountered a man dressed in a red military-type jump suit. She was taken into a tunnel through computerized check-points displaying security cameras. She reports having been taken on a transit vehicle to another area where she stepped on a scale-like device facing a computer screen. After the computer issued her an identification card, she was told by her guide that they had just entered Level One of a seven-level underground facility. Christa goes on relating how she was eventually take down to Level Five, where she reports having seen alien craft and little grey alien entities in some of the areas that she passed through.

In one large room where she saw computerized gauges hooked to large tanks and large arms that extended from some tubing down into the tanks. She noticed a humming sound, smelled formaldehyde, and had the impression that a liquid was being stirred in the tanks. She was not shown the contents of these tanks. Christa has made drawings of much of what she claims to have witnessed during her abduction.

These tanks were also depicted in a set of controversial papers called the "Dulce Papers," which were allegedly stolen from the Dulce underground facility along with over 30 black and white photos and a video tape. The mysterious security officer who took the papers claims to have worked at Dulce until 1979 when he decided that the time had come to part company with his employers.

The rest of this chapter relates how this security officer met with a colleague of mine in order to tell us the truth about the aliens, the U.S. Government, and the Dulce Base. His intention was to come out of hiding and present hard evidence to back his claims.

In late 1979, Thomas C. could no longer cope with the awesome reality he had to confront. As a high level security officer at the joint alien-U.S. Government underground base near Dulce he had learned of and had seen disturbing things. After much inner conflict, he decided to desert the facility and take various items with him.

Using a small camera, he took over 30 photos of areas within the multi-level complex. He collected documents and removed a security video tape from the Control Center which showed various security camera views of the hallways, labs, aliens, and U.S. Government personnel to take with him. Then, by shutting off the alarm and camera system in one of the over 100 exits to the surface, he left the facility with the photos, video, and documents. The "originals" were hidden after five sets of copies were made.

Thomas was ready to go into hiding. But, when he went to pick up his wife and young son, he found a van and government agents waiting. His wife and child had been kidnapped. He had been betrayed by K. Lomas (a fellow worker). The agents wanted what Thomas had taken from the facility in order to get his wife and son back. When it became apparent to him they would be used in biological experiments and were not going to be returned unharmed, he decided to get lost. That was over ten years ago. How did Thomas get involved in all this covert intrigue?

Thomas, now is his 50's was in his mid-twenties, when he received top secret training in photography at an underground facility in West Virginia. For seven years he worked in high security photography in the Air Force. In 1971, he left and went to work for the Rand Corp. in Santa Monica, California. In 1977 he was transferred to the Dulce facility. He bought a home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and worked Monday through Friday. He commuted to work via a deep underground tube-shuttle system.

At this time, a fellow researcher was working security in Santa Fe, N.M. and was privately investigating UFO sightings, animal mutilations, Masonic and Wicca groups in the area. Thomas had a mutual friend who came to Santa Fe in 1979 to visit both the researcher and Thomas. This visitor later viewed the photos, the video tape, and documents taken from the Dulce Base. Drawings were made from what was seen and later circulated in the UFO research community as the "Dulce Papers."

Thomas alleges that there were over 18,000 short "greys" at the Dulce Facility, and that he saw reptilian humanoids. A colleague had come face-to-face with a 6-foot tall Reptoid which had materialized in his house. The Reptoid showed an interest in research maps of New Mexico and Colorado which were on the wall. The maps were full of colored push-pins and markers to indicate sites of animal mutilations, caverns, locations of high UFO activity, repeated flight paths, abduction sites, ancient ruins, and suspected alien underground bases.

The multi-level facility at Dulce is reported to have a central HUB which is controlled by base security. The security level goes up as one descends to lower levels. Thomas had an ULTRA-7 clearance. He knew of seven sub-levels, but there may have been more. Most of the aliens supposedly are on levels 5, 6 and 7 with alien housing on level 5. The only sign in English was over the tube shuttle station hallway which read "to Los Alamos." Connections go from Dulce to the Page, Arizona facility, then onto an underground base below Area 51 in Nevada. Tube shuttles go to and from Dulce to facilities below Taos, N.M.; Datil, N.M.; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Creed, Colorado; Sandia' then on to Carlsbad, New Mexico.

There appears to be a vast network of tube shuttle connections under the U.S. which extends into a global system of tunnels and sub-cities.

At the Dulce Base, most signs on doors and hallways are in the alien symbol language and a universal symbol system understood by humans and aliens. Thomas stated that after the second level, everyone is weighed in the nude, then given a uniform. Visitors are given off-white uniforms; jump suits with a zipper. The weight of the person is put on a computer I.D. card each day. Any change in weight is noted; if over three pounds, a physical exam and X-ray is required.

Scales are located in front of all sensitive areas and are built into the floor near doorways and the door control panels. An individual places his computer I.D. card into the door slot, then enters a numerical code onto a keypad. The person's weight and code must match the card or the door will not open. Any discrepancy will summon security. No one is allowed to carry anything into sensitive areas. All supplies are put on a conveyor belt and X-rayed. The same method is used in leaving sensitive areas.

All elevators are controlled magnetically; there are no elevator cables. The magnetic system is inside the walls of the elevator shaft, there are no normal electrical controls. Everything is controlled by advanced magnetics, including lighting. There are no regular light bulbs and the tunnels are illuminated by phosphorous units with broad structureless emission bands. Some deep tunnels use a form of phosphorous pentoxide to temporarily illuminate areas. The aliens won't go near these areas for reasons unknown.

Level 1 contains the garage for street maintenance. Level 2 contains the garage for trains, shuttles, tunnel-boring machines and disc maintenance. The studies on Level 4 include human-aura research, as well as all aspects of telepathy, hypnosis, and dreams. Thomas says that they know how to separate the bioplasmic body from the physical body to place an "alien entity" life-force-matrix within a human body after removing the "soul" lifeforce-matrix of the human.

Level 6 is privately called "Nightmare Hall." It holds the genetic labs, where experiments are done on fish, seals, birds, and mice that are vastly altered from their original form. There are multi-armed and multi-legged humans and several cages (and vats) of humanoid bat-like creatures as tall as 7-feet. The aliens have taught the humans a lot about genetics; things both useful and dangerous.

The Grey and reptoid species are highly analytical and technologically oriented. They have had ancient conflicts with the Nordic humans from other space societies, and may be staging here for a future conflict. Intensely into computing and bio- engineering sciences, they are led to doing reckless experiments without regard for what we consider to be ethical and empathetic conduct toward other living creatures.

Principal government organizations involved in mapping human genetics, the so-called genome projects, are within the Department of Energy (which has a heavy presence on the Nevada Test Site); the National Institute of Health; the National Science Foundation; the Howard Huges Medical Institute; and, of course, the Dulce Underground Labs which are run by the DOE. Thomas had revealed that the chief of the genetic experiments for Los Alamos and Dulce is Larry Deaven.

According to Thomas, the alien androgynal breeder is capable of parthenogenesis. At Dulce, the common form or reproduction is by polyembryony. Each embryo can, and does divide into 6 to 9 individual "cunne" (pronounced cooney, i.e. siblings). The needed nutriment for the developing cunne is supplied by the "formula," which usually consist of plasma, deoxyhemoglobin, albumin, lysozyme, cation, amniotic fluid and more. The term "genome" is used to describe the totality of the chromosomes unique to a particular organism (or any cell within an organism), as distinct from the genotype, which is the information contained within those chromosomes. The human genes are mapped to specific chromosomal locations. This is an ambitious project that will take years and a lot of computer power to accomplish.

Is the alien and human BIO-TECH being used to nurture and serve us, or is it being used to control and dominate us? Why have UFO abductees been used in genetic experiments? It was when Thomas encountered humans in cages on Level 7 of the Dulce facility that things finally reached a climax for him. Row after row of thousands of humans, human-mixture remains, and embryos of humanoids were kept in cold storage. He says, "I frequently encountered humans in cages, usually dazed or drugged, but sometimes they cried and begged for help. We were told they were hopelessly insane, and involved in high-risk drug tests to cure insanity. We were told to never speak to them at all. At the beginning we believed that story. Finally in 1978 a small group of workers discovered the truth. That began the Dulce wars."

Thomas also says the aliens don't want the land, the gold, the minerals, or water that we posses, nor even the human or animal life. What they do want is magnetic power that surges on and through the Earth. The aliens harvest this magic power in a way unknown to us. Thomas says the aliens recognize this power as more valuable than any other commodity on our globe.

It may be unpalatable to digest or believe Thomas' story. In fact, it seems like part of a living nightmare. There is evidence that something strange does go on at Dulce. Does Thomas have the answer? There may be a terrible truth hidden behind the continuing phenomena of UFO sightings, abductions, and animal mutilations. Our government intelligence agencies have had an ongoing watchful eye on all UFO activities for many decades now. This extraordinary phenomenon must have an extraordinary explanation. We may be only one outpost in a vast interstellar empire.

Recently, researcher John Anderson went to Dulce, N.M., to see if there was any truth to the reported UFO activity. He says as he arrived in town he saw a caravan of cars and a McDonell-Douglas mini-lab in a van going up a rural road near the town. He followed them to a fenced-in compound where he waited to see further developments. Suddenly, six UFOs descended rapidly over the compound, hovered long enough for him to snap a picture, then shot up and out of sight. When later stopping at a store, he told the owner about the UFO photo he had taken, the store owner listened and revealed how he had been a victim rancher of cattle mutes. Their conversation was interrupted by a phone call. The store owner told John to leave at once, then after John went to his car, he saw a mysterious van drive up to the store and a man got out and went inside. John, deciding to leave Dulce, was followed by two men in a car as he left town.

Even more recently a research team has gone up to Archuleta Mesa to take soundings under the ground. Preliminary and tentative computer analysis of these soundings seem to indicate deep cavities under the mesa.

How long will the secret of Dulce, known to insiders as Section D, remain locked up inside the mute New Mexico mountains? Forever?

What if Aliens?

2009-04-11T15:39:00.000-07:00

If aliens visited the Earth, their traces would be unusual, preternatural and having no scientific explanation. There have been plenty of such artefacts.
In 1959 joint Soviet-Chinese palaeontologist expedition led by Dr Chzhou Minchen found a weird footprint in the Gobi desert. This footprint appeared in Gobi millions of years ago when dinosaurs were among the living species. Palaeontologists are unable to give other explanations except for extraterrestrial visitor's version, to this footprint.

In Libyan desert mysterious glassy formations tektites were found. Radioactive isotopes were detected in the tektites. They prove that the tektites came into being as a result of strong radioactive emanation not earlier than one million years ago. The Earth was formed not millions, but billions of years ago, and tektites appeared on the formed planet. There were many attempts to give the explanation to these mysterious formations. There was a version that they appeared after comet collided with the Earth, but no version was able to explain many peculiar features of tektites, such as their concentration on some areas of the surface of the Earth.

Recently during aerial photography in the Andes in Naska plateau weird sings made of light stones has been found. There was a version that it was some solar calendar. Some of its lines were allegedly supposed to sparkle under sun rays in the days of equinox. However, the signs configuration could be could be seen from very big altitude. They looked like indicators for landing. Could they be put for those whose visit Incas were expecting?

Scientists saw unusual phenomena in Odessa catacombs. They found bones of fossilized ostriches, camels and hyenas in the burrow which was a cave in ancient times. The bones were processed one million year ago with some metal tools.

There was no contemporary human being one million years ago, the Stone Age had not even started at that time. What kind of metal tools could it be? There are round and square holes and grooves in the bones, some of the bones are polished.

Steel rectangle 67х67х47 millimetres in size and 785 grams in weight was found in by Austrian physician Mr. Gurlt in the layer of coal the tertiary period. This item was made by human beings.

High in the Andes, in the kingdom of ancient Inks, there is Titicaca lake. There are remains of the seashore around this lake – algae remains, shells and ruins of the sea-port.

How could a bay be raised to the mountains to become a lake?

Geologists have no common opinion on this. Some of them think this happened several hundred thousands years ago. There hardly were creatures capable of constructing sea-port at that time. Interestingly, ruins of giant constructions and well-preserved Sun Gates covered with hieroglyphs were found near the sea-port remains.

Scientists became interested in the hieroglyphs and managed to decode them. They were an astronomic calendar of high precision, however the year in this calendar had 290 days – ten months of 24 days and two months of 25 days. Obviously, there was extraterrestrial calendar on the Sun Gates.

Many mysteries are connected with the legendary state of ancient Incas. Spanish conquerors were amazed with the principles of Incas' society: no private property, contempt to wealth, mandatory work for everybody. Could aliens from some planet plant these features to Incas?

Balls of perfect geometry curved from granite were found in South America. The balls were located at the tops of correct polygons. It is hard to imagine that people knew Geometry several thousand years ago.

NASA ASTRONAUTS VERIFY, UFOs ARE REAL!

UFO Sightings by Astronauts
compiled by UFO Joe, February 17, 1993 Major Gordon
Cooper One of the original Mercury Astronauts and the last American to fly in space alone. On May 15, 1963 he shot into space in
a Mercury capsule for a 22 orbit journey around the world. During the final orbit, Major Gordon Cooper told the tracking station
at Muchea (near Perth Australia) that he could see a glowing, greenish object ahead of him quickly approaching his capsule. The
UFO was real and solid, because it was picked up by Muchea's tracking radar.
Cooper's sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company, which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper
landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting.
Major Cooper was a firm believer in UFOs. Ten years earlier, in 1951 he had sighted a UFO while piloting an F-86 Sabrejet over
Western Germany. They were metallic, saucer-shaped discs at considerable altitude and could out-manoeuvre all American fighter
planes.
Major Cooper also testified before the United Nations:"I believe that these extra-terrestrial
vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets... Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs."
"I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in fighter
formation, generally from east to west over Europe." And according to a taped interview by J. L.Ferrando
Major Cooper said:
"For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every
day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness
reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them public.
Why? Because authority is afraid that people may think of God knows what kind of horrible invaders. So the password still is: We
have to avoid panic by all means."
I was furthermore a witness to an extraordinary phenomenon, here on this planet Earth. It happened a few months ago in Florida.
There I saw with my own eyes a defined area of ground being consumed by flames, with four indentations left by a flying object
which had descended in the middle of a field. Beings had left the craft (there were other traces to prove this). They seemed to
have studied topography, they had collected soil samples and, eventually, they returned to where they had come from, disappearing
at enormous speed...I happen to know that authority did just about everything to keep this incident from the press and TV, in fear
of a panicky reaction from the public.
Ed White and James McDivitt
In June 1965, astronauts Ed White (first American to walk in space) and James McDivitt were passing over Hawaii in a Gemini
spacecraft when they saw a weird-looking metallic object. The UFO had long arms sticking out of it. McDivitt took pictures with
a cine-camera. Those pictures have never been released.
James Lovell and Frank Borman
In December 1965, Gemini astronauts James Lovell and Frank Borman also saw a UFO during their second orbit of their
record-breaking 14 day flight. Borman reported that he saw an unidentified spacecraft some distance from their capsule.
Gemini Control, at Cape Kennedy told him that he was seeing the final stage of their own Titan booster rocket. Borman
confirmed that he could see the booster rocket all right, but that he could also see something completely different.
During James Lovell's flight on Gemini 7:

Lovell: BOGEY AT 10 O'CLOCK HIGH.
This is Houston. Say again 7.
SAID WE HAVE A BOGEY AT 10 O'CLOCK HIGH.
Gemini 7, is that the booster or is that an actual sighting?
Lovell: WE HAVE SEVERAL...ACTUAL SIGHTING.
: ...Estimated distance or size?
Lovell: WE ALSO HAVE THE BOOSTER IN SIGHT...
Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin
According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong, the Aliens have a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon.
According to hitherto un-confirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969.

I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light" in or on a crater during the television transmission, followed by a request from mission control for further information. Nothing more was heard.

According to a former NASA employee Otto Binder, unnamed radio hams with their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA's broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange:
NASA: What's there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11...

Apollo11: These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous! OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out there, Lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They're on the Moon watching us!

A certain professor, who wished to remain anonymous, was engaged in a discussion with Neil Armstrong during a NASA symposium.
Professor: What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?
Armstrong:
It was incredible, of course we had always known there was a possibility, the fact is, we were warned off!(by the Aliens). There was never any question then of a space station or a moon city.
Professor: How do you mean "warned off"?

Armstrong: I can't go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology - Boy, were they big!...and menacing! No, there is no question of a space station.

Professor: But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11?
Armstrong: Naturally - NASA was committed at that time, and couldn't risk panic on Earth. But it really was a quick scoop and back again.NASA ASTRONAUTS VERIFY, UFOs ARE REAL!

A hypothetical story

2009-04-04T16:34:00.000-07:00

Setting the paradigm A hypothetical story.

Imagine a remote undiscovered island whose inhabitants are unusually intelligent but have no
advanced technology. All they have are some ponderous steam engines which they use to pump
water. The islanders have had no contact with the rest of Mankind and they are absolutely
certain that they are the sole intelligent creatures on the planet, which they believe to be covered
by water everywhere except for their island. To entertain themselves the islanders build and fly
kites; their kites are of marvellous shapes and sizes.

We shall call the hero of our story Prometheus: he was a young islander who lived alone but had
reached the age when he was expected to find a wife. One day, Prometheus was at the top of a
coconut tree when he saw an airliner flying over the island. There were no other witnesses
because it was raining furiously and no one was flying kites or looking for coconuts. The reason
why Prometheus was at the top of a coconut tree while everyone else was at home was that he
absolutely loved coconuts! So he climbed up coconut trees even on rainy days. And that is why
when an airliner passed over the island he was the only one to see it.

That day Prometheus did not get any coconuts. He ran back to the village to tell the village
elders what he had seen.
Elder 1: “So you think you saw a strange flying machine of some kind? Hmm…”
Prometheus: “Yes! I did!”
Elder 1: “And did this strange flying machine have wings?”
Prometheus: “It did!”
Elder 1: “So it was not a kite. Did it flap its wings like a bird?”
Prometheus: “No, it didn’t flap them.”
Elder 1: “If it wasn’t a kite and it didn’t flap its wings then how could it fly? Heh heh!”

Elder 2: “Be reasonable, Prometheus. Where could this thing have come from? If, as some
people claim, there is land with people somewhere beyond the sea, can you imagine how far it
would be?”
Prometheus: “Very far indeed. Our fishing boats have sometimes sailed for weeks without
finding anything.”
Elder 2: “Exactly. So how could this supposed flying machine have got here?”
Prometheus: “I really don’t know.”
Elder 2: “Heh, heh!”

Elder 3 (the Village Psychologist): “You say, Prometheus, that this thing was long and hard and
blunt at the front?”
Prometheus: “Yes, but it also had wings!”
Elder 3: “Of course it had wings. And you say it made a loud virile sound?”

Prometheus: “I think so. It was very far away.”
Elder 3: “I understand perfectly. I think you need a wife, Prometheus. Heh heh!”

Prometheus’ chances of finding a wife were now smaller than ever. He had become a figure of
derision, especially so because the village idiots from all the villages on the island had got
together to form a ‘flying machine cult’. These idiots met periodically to chant weird hymns and
loudly talk about Prometheus’ sighting. Some strongly maintained that it was a vision sent by
the gods while others proclaimed, equally loudly, that it was an attempt by the ‘people from
beyond the sea’ to establish contact in order to solve all the islanders’ problems. Meanwhile, the
more sober islanders stopped eating coconuts, blaming them for Prometheus’ apparent dementia.

One day, while wandering dejectedly very far from his village, Prometheus came across The
Hermit. This individual was shunned by the islanders because he was in the habit of asking
questions that subverted their most cherished delusions. The Hermit listened attentively to
Prometheus’ story and became very thoughtful. Prometheus could not wait for the verdict.
“So do you think I’ve gone bananas?” he asked, expecting the dreaded “Heh, heh!” at any
moment.
“It’s more likely you’ve gone coconuts,” replied The Hermit. “Too much coconut milk, you
know. But let’s think carefully about this. You say this thing had wings but didn’t flap them.
You say it made a loud noise.”
“Yes,” said Prometheus weakly.
“Hmmmm…” The Hermit reached into his voluminous pockets and brought out a small
contraption that he had made earlier. “Hmmm… I got the idea for this toy from the seeds of a
tree. Most seeds from trees, as you know, just fall to the ground and wait for the right conditions
to grow. But this species of tree has come up with an idea that helps its seeds scatter better in the
wind. Each seed has two wings of a special shape. The seeds don’t flap their wings, nor do they
rise up in the air. Instead, the special shape of the wings makes the seeds spin as they fall. This
enables them to fall much more slowly than the seeds of other trees, allowing them to scatter
farther from the tree from which they fell.”
“I know that tree,” said Prometheus, “But what does this have to do with…”
The Hermit smiled and said: “Patience, boy! This toy that I hold in my hands has wings shaped
like those of the seeds of that tree, except that the wings are attached not to seeds but to a long
thin shaft. Watch what happens when I hold the shaft vertically between the palms of my hands
and move my hands swiftly in opposite directions as I let go!"
The motion of The Hermit’s hands made the shaft spin very quickly and, to Prometheus’
amazement, the toy flew straight up into the air!
“Wow!” exclaimed Prometheus.
“I call the little wings a propeller,” said The Hermit. “Now imagine if propellers with horizontal
shafts were attached to an engine that was attached to a kite. Not the usual kind of kite, mind
you, but to a kite shaped like the wings of a bird that is flying without flapping its wings. What
do you think would happen?”
“Why, it would fly on its own,” whispered Prometheus, “Without the need for wind!”
“Yes boy, it would fly without the need for wind provided the wings had a special shape. Now
let’s think this problem through.”

The Hermit and Prometheus sat together for many days trying to puzzle out the appearance and
properties of a machine that flew with the aid of propellers. They made scores of drawings, and
the more they thought about it, the more their hypothetical flying machine looked like the object
Prometheus had seen! It was all terribly exciting, and Prometheus almost swooned when they
deduced that the flying machine would need a pair of smaller wings at the rear to give it stability.
He did, in fact, faint from over-excitement when The Hermit added a little swivelling fin above
the rear wings, which he said would be necessary for the flying machine to be steerable. The
Hermit resuscitated him with a bucket of cold water.

“That’s exactly like the thing I saw!” gasped Prometheus after he had dried himself.
“Are you sure?” asked The Hermit.
“I swear it by all the coconuts on the island!”
“So we have explained your sighting!” said The Hermit smugly.
But Prometheus looked downcast. “Well no, Hermit,” he said. “We haven’t. As we all know,
it’s impossible to build a steam engine that can turn a propeller fast enough to lift its own
weight.”
“Don’t forget the role of the wings, boy!” Remember their special shape! Anyway our flying
machine doesn’t have to use a steam engine.”
“What other kinds of engine are there?”
“Who knows? There must be many kinds of engine that we don’t know yet. And we have
explained your sighting.”
“How have we explained my sighting?”
“You see, boy, there are many levels of explanation,” said The Hermit. “We made only one
assumption, namely that it is possible to build an engine that can rotate a propeller fast enough to
lift a machine with specially made wings, right?”
“Yes.”
“The properties of a flying machine we deduced agree pretty well with the more obvious
properties of what you saw, right?”
“Yes.”
“Well,” said The Hermit, “The probability that a single assumption can do this is less than the
probability that you lied or hallucinated. Therefore, weighing probabilities, we do have an
explanation for your sighting, albeit a low-level explanation.”
“What would constitute a high-level explanation?”
“Actually building a flying machine that can fly, and showing that it is similar to the one you
saw.”
“But we cannot build an engine like the one we assumed,” persisted Prometheus. “And as I’ve
already said our steam engines are too slow and heavy!”
“Perhaps someone else has come up with such an engine,” countered The Hermit, “Just because
we can’t build one doesn’t mean it can’t be done.”
“How could they?”
“I don’t know. But because something is beyond our present technology does not mean that it is
impossible, and the fact that a single assumption can explain a set of otherwise unexplainable
observations doesn’t just make your story much more likely to be true, it also lends support to
the assumption!”
“You mean it’s possible to build a flying machine?”
“No,” said The Hermit as he rose and collected all the drawings they had made. “But, weighing
probabilities, it means that it’s worth trying to build one!”
Prometheus’ self-confidence was restored, and he had no problem finding a wife.
