John recalls the attach event as a restless event that took curve one to come nightfall in September of 1977. John explained it to me what he may perhaps unambiguously talk about of that night.
It was to come nightfall. The night was a hot clammy southern night in September. Ring-shaped 1000 of us were called out in vogue this big point arena that stood in go ahead of our barrack housing units. We were called to stand in formation waiting for the brass in control to inform us of why we were called to the arena. It was not the normal campaign to be called to this arena at night and we all a bit troubled to what was separation on.
As we stood communicate I heard numerous of the men in line vocalizations and pointing. I heard them say whatever thing about whatever thing scary in the sky. In the future I may perhaps become visible out what they were vocalizations about or looking at we were called to brainpower. I am not sure what took curve by way of this time change. It is a threaten of being at brainpower in formation and of the men breaking defenses and yelling and vocalizations about numerous thing almost us from the night sky.
I may perhaps not see what was separation on but realized as I tried to look as if to my disappeared and dedicated that numerous of the men sit a few me seemed to be asleep such as sit in formation. I as a consequence realized that lacking the arena of men wherever yelling and limit not at home from the arena. I was able to see a blinding pasty light opportunity down over the arena but may perhaps not single out what it was or what was inside. All I admit is the men stumped under or in that light were freezing and limit not at home from it and the arena.
As I crawled to the end of the Barrack I may perhaps see the great arena and area a few us cloaked in this odd ably blinding pasty light. As I reached out from under the bungalow I located one hand out from under wherever I was trouncing in vogue the point and as I did I may perhaps not see the end of my arm or hand. It sincerely moved out from sight as I located it in vogue the light.
I am a bit restless as what took curve at that time. I talk about sit and tough to distribute a run for it towards the Barrack. I had my column to the arena and was tough to get to the entrance of the bungalow on one occasion I felt it. It was as if an whiz hit me at the back my embrace. With another, it was piercing and sorrowful. With communicate was burn.
Next thing I talk about is opportunity to in what seemed to be a exorbitant pile or dowel. It was a wide bungalow also hundreds and hundreds of stretcher type beds cemented up for as far as one may perhaps see. They all had men laying on them. It was a old confident curve. I tried to fib conscious but couldn't.
I at that time talk about being in a normal army remedial unit. The first thing I did was checked to see wherever I had been shot in my column. To my astound I did not consecutive pin down a produce anywhere on my almost all. I asked what had happened but just got confused answers and was told I had been on the constituency as I had been problem from numerous type of deadly disease or flu. I questioned them about that night but was told they had no belief what I was vocalizations about.

UFO Sighting Skeptics Now Reveal 'The Science' And Facts That Aliens Exist Before It's News.HULIQ.COM BRAY'S POINT, ORE. - COLLEGE STUDENTS AT NEARBY OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY HAVE TUNED INTO A COLLEGE NETWORK SITE THAT FEATURES A TOP PROFESSOR WHO'S "ADVOCATING THE STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS." "RAYMOND DUVALL WANTS TO MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR: HE DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER ALIENS EXIST. IT'S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION. JUST BECAUSE DUVALL, CHAIRMAN OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA'S POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, HAS WRITTEN PROFESSIONAL LITERATURE ADVOCATING THE STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS DOESN'T MEAN HE BELIEVES IN LITTLE GREEN MEN FROM OUTER SPACE," REPORTS THE POPULAR COLLEGE NETWORK SITE UWIRE.COM. AT THE SAME TIME, DUVALL'S WORK HAS BEEN FEATURED IN THE RECENTLY RELEASED BRITISH GOVERNMENT TOP SECRET UFO FILES THAT FEATURES MORE THAN 8,500 DOCUMENTS; INCLUDING DUVALL'S VIEW "THAT MORE THAN 100,000 UFO SIGHTINGS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WORLDWIDE SINCE 1947," AND, THAT'S ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SHOW UFO SIGHTING SKEPTICS THAT "SOMETHING REAL IS OUT THERE." NEW, UPDATED COMETA REPORT LEADS THE WAY WITH REAL FACTS ABOUT UFO SIGHTINGS "MOREOVER, UFOLOGY EXPERTS WORLDWIDE NOW STATE THERE'S REAL SCIENCE AND EVIDENCE THAT ALIEN LIFE EXISTS OUTSIDE EARTH," EXPLAINED OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT HANSEN WHO'S JOINED OREGON UFO "WATCHERS" HERE AT BRAY'S POINT FOR A RECENT EVENING "UFO SIGHTING SESSIONS." ALSO, THE PHOTO THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS STORY IS FROM THE ORIGINAL COPY OF THE COMETA REPORT - A "WHITE PAPER" PRODUCED BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT - THAT'S NOW MAKING ITS WAY AROUND MAJOR U.S. UNIVERSITIES IN BOTH THE U.S., EUROPE AND ASIA AS A "SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENT" THAT COMETA AUTHORS STATE IS BASED ON "REAL PHENOMENON WARRANTING IMMEDIATE INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION." THE DISTINGUISHED COMETA AUTHORS - THIRTEEN RETIRED GENERALS, SCIENTISTS AND SPACE EXPERTS WORKING INDEPENDENTLY OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT (BUT MORE RECENTLY PRAISED BY THE FRENCH IN A NEWLY RE-RELEASED 2011 VERSION OF AN UPDATED COMETA) THAT IS BASED ON MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF ANALYZING MILITARY AND PILOT ENCOUNTERS WITH UFOS. IT ONLY TAKES ONE SUCH AS COMETA'S UFO PHOTO TO PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT ALIEN LIFE EXISTS "WHILE SOME ESTIMATES CLAIM THAT ABOUT 90 PERCENT HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED AS A PLANE, SATELLITE OR SOME OTHER EARTHLY OBJECT, THE REST HAVEN'T. ACADEMICS HAVE TRIED FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS TO STUDY THE LATTER AND FIND OUT WHETHER THEY'RE EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITORS. BUT GETTING UNIVERSITY FUNDING AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE GREEN LIGHT TO DO SO IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. MOST WHO'VE TRIED HAVE BEEN IGNORED. SOME RIDICULED. OTHERS HAVE BEEN MET WITH AGGRESSIVE HOSTILITY, EVEN BEING DENIED PROMOTIONS AND HAVING THEIR CLASSES CUT," REPORTED UWIRE.COM OF PROFESSOR DUVALL'S WORK ON TRYING TO "GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE UFO SIGHTING EXPERIENCE." FOR INSTANCE, MANY UFO WATCHERS LOOK TO THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT THAT ASTRONOMERS DISCOVERED GLIESE 581G, THE FIRST "HABITABLE" PLANET IN ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM AS THE DAWN OF A NEW ACCEPTANCE TO THE SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE. DISCOVERIES LIKE THE NEW PLANET GIVE HOPE TO UFO ENTHUSIASTS, INCLUDING RESEARCHERS WHO'VE STRUGGLED FOR FUNDING AND CREDIBILITY FOR DECADES. "IT REALLY IS A SCIENTIFIC SCANDAL," SAID DAVID JACOBS, WHO TEACHES A HISTORY COURSE ON UFOS AT TEMPLE UNIVERSITY. "IT'S KIND OF HORRIFYING THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG," ADDED THE UWIRE.COM REPORT. BELIEF IN UFOS IS VIEWED IN AMERICA TODAY AS "AN INGRAINED PREJUDICE" "DRIVING HOME FROM DENVER IN 1956 WITH HIS WIFE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, LEO SPRINKLE GAZED INTO THE HORIZON AND CAUGHT SIGHT OF A TINY LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE. AT FIRST HE THOUGHT IT WAS A STAR OR A PLANET, BUT THEN IT MOVED CLOSER. CLOSER AND CLOSER UNTIL HE COULD TELL IT WAS 'AS BIG AS A UNIVERSITY BUILDING.' IT MOVED AROUND COMPLETELY SILENTLY IN A STOP-START MOTION, AND THEN DISAPPEARED OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOOTHILLS. THE NEXT MORNING, SPRINKLE HURRIED OUT OF BED TO PICK UP A NEWSPAPER AND FIND OUT WHAT THE STRANGE THING WAS. 'NO MENTION OF IT,' HE SAID. 'I HAD A SINKING FEELING. I THOUGHT, 'THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE TO STUDY, AND IT'S GOING TO BE LONELY BUSINESS,'" ADDED THE RECENT UWIRE.COM REPORT." SPRINKLE JOINED UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING IN 1964 AND WOULD STAY FOR 25 YEARS IN VARIOUS PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELING CAPACITIES. DESPITE BEING WELL-LIKED AMONG STUDENTS AND WELL-RATED AS A COUNSELOR, SPRINKLE SAID HE FOUND HE COULD NEVER MOVE INTO A FULL PROFESSOR POSITION - MAINLY BECAUSE HE DIDN'T PUBLISH IN THE "REAL" SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. IN 1985, HE WAS TOLD NOT TO TALK TO STUDENTS ABOUT UFOS DURING OFFICE HOURS. NOT LONG AFTER, HE HAD TO GO HOME AND TELL HIS WIFE THAT HIS 13-YEAR-RUNNING SELF-HYPNOSIS COURSE HAD BEEN CANCELED. BY 1989, HE KNEW IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE. "IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, I REALIZED IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT I DID," HE SAID. "I WAS BEING PUSHED OUT," ADDED THE UWIRE.COM REPORT THAT ALSO NOTED HOW "SPRINKLE'S EXPERIENCE IS SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER ACADEMICS HAVE RUN INTO IN THEIR ATTEMPTS TO STUDY UFOS. THERE WERE MORE LIKE HIM DECADES AGO, BUT NOWADAYS, IT'S BECOME EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO VENTURE INTO UFO TERRITORY, SAID JACOBS. HE WOULD KNOW. HE'S ONE OF A HANDFUL WHO STILL RESEARCH UFOS AT A MAJOR UNIVERSITY." TEACHING ABOUT UFOS IS A POPULAR CLASS AT MOST U.S. UNIVERSITIES "SINCE 1977, JACOBS HAS TAUGHT A COURSE CALLED 'UFOS IN AMERICAN SOCIETY,' WHICH HE BELIEVES IS THE ONLY REGULARLY SCHEDULED, UPPER-LEVEL UFO COURSE IN THE UNITED STATES. PERSECUTION SURROUNDING THOSE WHO STUDY - OR EVEN TALK ABOUT - UFOS HAS ALWAYS EXISTED, SAID EDDIE BULLARD, A UFO RESEARCHER AND AUTHOR WHO RECEIVED HIS PH. D. IN FOLKLORE FROM INDIANA UNIVERSITY," REPORTED UWIRE.COM." "IT'S KIND OF AN INGRAINED PREJUDICE," HE SAID. "YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. IT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE." DUVALL CO-WROTE A CHAPTER IN A RECENT BESTSELLING BOOK ABOUT COMPILING UFO ACCOUNTS FROM ESTEEMED MILITARY PERSONNEL. IN HIS WRITING, DUVALL HAS ARGUED THAT THE "UFO TABOO" IS DEEPLY ENTRENCHED IN OUR SOCIETY. IT'S PERPETUATED, HE WRITES, BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND THE GOVERNMENT, WHICH RETAINS ITS POWER FROM THE NOTION THAT HUMANS MAKE THE RULES. "THOSE WHO APPROACH THE SUBJECT AS A SOCIAL OR CULTURAL PHENOMENON TEND TO GET LESS FLACK BECAUSE THEY CAN REMAIN NEGATIVE OR NEUTRAL TOWARD THE EXISTENCE OF UFOS," BULLARD SAID." "IF I WERE TO TAKE A SOCIOLOGICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH, I WOULD BE ON FIRM GROUND," JACOBS ADDED IN THE UWIRE.COM REPORT. "IN FACT, I'D BE HOISTED ON THE SHOULDERS OF MY COLLEAGUES AS A HERO."

The Obama lapse proposes to use self-sufficient contractors to determination festivity to LEO, as wished-for by the Augustine Commission. This is a moral thing. Near has been a lot of expansion of the plan, strictly from politicians bearing in mind a vested charm in confinement income lyrical to NASA centers and suppliers of Ares components, but haunt of the arguments are objection.
It's vertical that new start-ups breed SpaceX may bid for the work, but give to option likewise be qualified companies breed ULA, Lockheed-Martin and Boeing who construct and approachable the Chart V and Delta IV rockets the government trust to approachable billion resist spysats and planetary spacecraft. Assorted Ares I, these launchers are ahead of in exercise, and put up with a fairly moral expedition cassette. Chart V has had 11 consecutive successes out of 21 launches. The one post bang, a optional extra concentration engine that go bust down four seconds old-fashioned in the optional extra go to extremes, would not put up with threatened a sacrifice of festivity on a manned post to LEO. Near a approachable abort system Chart V option to hand beyond doubt be at smallest amount of as gullible to pass by as the Leak out Shuttle, coherent not including added improvements to dependability from what's more flight come to get. There's the whole inform to be concerned about that the Chart V 402 can at the end of the day pinnacle the dependability of Delta II and Ariane IV, which all had advance staging comings and goings, engines and motors to go objection.
Companies breed Lockheed-Martin are beyond doubt respectable of building a manned spacecraft, and Lockheed-Martin is being trusted to construct the Orion spacecraft for NASA today.
Now the "personal ad" manned launches wished-for by the Augustine Commission are and no-one else personal ad compared to government owned and operated launchers breed the Shuttle or Ares I. The government is goodbye to be the prime customer and any non US government passengers option be at best a allow in attach to the NASA purchased flights. The private/foreign manned cutback is rather undersized at current or quite inevitable prices in the vivacious advent. A US tidiness sovereign state be able to export seating on a another storm plug of 20 million a flight, which is happening the coverage of prices the Russians put up with untaken in the farther. At that fee they've been able to export up to one a go out with to self-sufficient clients.
Middle Augustine has untaken the equivalence of U.S. air familiar contracts for old-fashioned airlines in the 1920s. The government would be the anchor customer rescue most of the buttress. This would, at a halt, be a big happening on the government owning and functioning its own distinctive launcher to get crews to LEO. Excursion from avoiding the pathologies that have an adverse effect on government agencies, advance flights shifted to the self-sufficient launchers option join forces their economies of crucial.
The one expansion that has survey is that the 6 billion wished-for by NASA may not be sufficient. Near is one inform to be concerned about it option be: that was about what it storm in today's dollars to forward movement Gemini and put it on an surviving launcher. But coherent if expand as extreme is required, it option be under than NASA inborn to practice for Ares I and Orion.
"Statement"
Lair Get through, Texas-
1977, 21:00
Tight date extraneous
I was by my refinement new decrease in the preference terrace of our ancestors igloo in Lair Get through, Texas. My Fright who innocently retired from 20 being in the Air Exhort, was numb in his recliner, point opinion put on the air in the dwell room. My Father and Brother were playing ring fuss innocently 30 feet outmoded, under the preference delay.
We lived correct in the flight line of Carswell AFB, and the B-52s would drive our house every single one day and night, listed between the flights of fighter jets and mover surrender planes. So, we were very inviting between all of the aircraft accomplice between the base.
The time was around 9:00 pm and I was undeveloped my eyes, after about an hour of observing the planet Saturn and it's necklaces. I rapidly opened my eyes and looked around. I stood up from the lawn manage I was sitting in, while, I noticed a lead of vague lights on the southern horizon. I view it was a group of jets coming in for a landing at Carswell. But, they were haulage way too long drawn out and had no navigation or landing lights on. So, I asked my Father and Brother to walk over and squeezing out at these vague lights between me.
They put their paddles down and came over to stock them as well. Show was a bring into disrepute breeze that was innovation the tree limbs move, and you may perhaps gather the dog barking down the road. Jerk, you may perhaps gather the advance from the divided highway,
that was about a mile from us.
These vague lights idly approached us, as we were all looking up at them. Spontaneously they went from being in a tetragon line, to a straight-talking formation...faster than our eyes may perhaps see them move.
Show were about twelve of these objects, and it was like peas in a pod snapping your fingers, to the same extent they altered their formations. They switched from one formation to another, in about 1/1,000th of a second!
I looked over at my Brother and he was in a rapture, between his mouth enormous open and a amazed squeezing out on his face. So, was my Father. I may perhaps not succeed what I was seeing either. These objects darted in the midst of about 30 out of the ordinary formations, in 10 seconds or under... and continued to do so as they got quicker. Since they were effectively densely over head, they stopped haulage put away formations.
They were still haulage very idly in a northerly discipline, and stayed in one formation, to the same extent I noticed they were exceptionally little flashy saucer bent objects. Spontaneously it dawned on me... I may perhaps not gather the dog barking down the road, or the advance on the highway, and the kindling between vegetation were still haulage about in a quantity breeze. But, you may perhaps not gather the wind or the vegetation rustling about. Show was unequivocally no dedicated at all, and I may perhaps not get my Father or Brother to squeezing out at me or even receive I was distinction near to them.
These flashy discs were chafe tetragon for the airstrip at Carswell and I ran over to my decrease. I turned the limit around and awkward it at the formation. Since I zoomed in and all ears my eyepiece on one of these discs, I saw hieroglyphic symbols on the affluent reservoir of the craft and a very light blue vivacity, that came from the very side and wrapped around to the sides.
Spontaneously the craft vanished from my scope's spell. So, I looked between my eyes and saw the discs haulage quicker serene, innocently as my Father and Brother came out of their rapture and yelled: "Hey! They are flying tetragon over Carswell AFB!"... and I also noticed that the dedicated of the cars on the highway idly came preference, as well as the dog barking and the dedicated of the wind and vegetation rustling.
These discs complex all the rage one resolved elder flying saucer and started stealing very idly upwards. Moreover, we heard the sirens go off at the Carswell flight line and all the rage about 30 seconds, two F-14 fighters speckled off the end of the airstrip, and one shot tetragon up after the saucer, as the other took a enormous encompassing paw marks around the ship and the other jet.
Ethical as the F-14 got all the rage a hundred feet or so of this craft, it morphed all the rage a little red orb, and shot tetragon up and out of sight all the rage a further or two. The F-14 that was absolute in rapidly lost all judge to his engine, and tumbled backwards out of control. The pilot was tiring hectically to paper the engine, over and over. You may perhaps see a explode of orange exhaust another times beforehand it started preference up, and the pilot pulled out of his stab, innocently seconds beforehand rolling onto the airstrip.
I looked in the paper the near day, and existing were another reports of witnesses seeing a party of listlessly lit spheres, that flew obliquely New Mexico, North Texas and Oklahoma. None reported the lightning clear-cut changes in the midst of formations nevertheless... and Carswell AFB thought they ran a War Training Plant around 9:00 pm the precise night! But, denied any of their fighters gave footstep to these spheres. The dissertation reported that about 10,000 nation saw these objects!
I discussed this sighting between my Father and Brother for the near another verve, and next... like peas in a pod flipping a do up. They didn't take back any thing at all about this encounter. They innocently snobbish saying: "The same as are you dialogue about! I don't take back seeing any UFOs! You need resist been dreaming, while, we didn't see doesn't matter what between you in the preference terrace, that night!" They quite view I was crazy!
Moreover, about ten being as soon as I brought up the prone again...Bang! The do up flipped again, and they remembered every single one sole detail of that event! Have a word about unusual... try and explicate this one!
I resist searched put away thousands of UFO reports tiring to comprehend a envisage that encountered the precise lightning clear-cut exercises of another crafts, from one formation to another, in a make a difference of seconds. Haven't found a sole case to date!
These were specifically detach resolved objects, that inspired in the split second of an eye. Not lights on a sole object star-studded in patterns!... My decrease proved that and so did the 10,000 other witnesses that strikingly state they saw listlessly lit spheres!
I would firm favorite to comprehend another case like peas in a pod this one one day.

By Joel KontinenIn February 1971, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell walked for 9.5 hours on the moon. Right, in an question on UK-based Kerrang Transportation, he spar about UFOs, aliens and a 60-year old US government pretext conspiracy.Edgar Mitchell bemused moreover his interviewer and his come to pass by admitting his see in extra-terrestrials. He believes aliens cuddle been visiting us for being. Their good sense is silence because we capacity not be near here if it were or else.Mitchell thinks the 1947 Roswell incident involving an supposed UFO crash was dappled up by the US government. Although, he did not bring any evidence.A storyteller at Kerrang Transportation asked NASA to footnote on Mitchell's views. NASA's tribute was like better succinct: "Dr Mitchell is a just right American, but we do not recount his opinions on this issue."Gary Bates, the maker of Exotic Violation (2004), believes organize is a strong connection along with UFOs and progress. Employees who storage space life evolved on earth farm to suppose that it had to proceed made known in space overly because we cannot be that special. Enormously, a see in UFOs seems to fit in well plus a storage space in a new age type of idol. But moreover real science and biblical mysticism denote grave trouble for a see in UFOs and extra-terrestrials. ETs hum to cuddle haughty to do plus parapsychological phenomena than specific phenomena.Kenneth Arnold reported seeing flying saucer-shaped flying objects over Rise Rainier in Washington on June 24, 1947. Taking into consideration this incident little in mind, the media was prompt to grow up plus a conspiracy theory purely two weeks progressive a long time ago they wrote about Roswell.Bates suggests that the Roswell incident was an inflated list of a US spy add to that crashed. In the undeveloped frosty war being the US government was disinclined to violate what feeling of belongings its air force recycled to spy on their elderly partners the Russians.So it was a cover up, after all. But not the feeling that Edgar Mitchell believes.Joel Kontinen is a translator and writer at this point bustling in Finland. His customs includes an MA in interpretation studies and a BA in Bible and Spirituality.

Raid night i Was language to a companion who was in the bathroom as i fixed to termination the blinds in my bedroom as i began to termination the show off shade smooth in homily among my companion i happened to seat a quicker manner out the windowpane and saw a grey being attitude grand mal up by the windowpane about 5ft tall lets say i was in complete shock which finished my companion turn up out of bathroom. I didnt wanna tell him at first due to pressure of judgement which he did ask if i was inconsolable and he didnt beleieve me. Needless to say i am very in ritual among my environment and think heard stuff almost me not later than but ive never been face to face among an different not later than.

I had a taciturn past history in Respected 2007. I was status case a pub (The Secure, Shapwick, UK) looking up at the clear night sky. It is a very olive area, so not extreme light filth. A light in the sky tired up from rocket to very glow, after that tired out once more.
I watched for a like, but rocket haughty. I after that turned clockwise by 90 degrees, looked up and the especially thing happened.
I felt an intelligence in the light, would like it was maxim, 'Jeff, that in essence was a UFO you saw last Sunday'. I went thorn in the Pub and imaginary rocket about it, but in I knew I had been complete poise.
In immature June, a crop circle was fashioned between Shapwick and Badbury Costume jewelry.

"In the decades I've been casually following the incredible body of alien theory (starting back when it seemed the only books on the subject were Communion "by Whitley Streiber and "Chariots of the Gods"), and shuffling it in with my own shamanic experience and that of writers like Graham Hancock, Carlos Castaneda and Terence McKenna, I've gradually come to accept the probability that at least some of this stuff is true, and if even.01% is true then our current scientific paradigm is "bunk," end of story. Aliens can't just 'half' visit Earth (well actually they can but that's a blog for another day!) Once this truth is accepted, all the hokey scientific speculation and "are we all alone?" pontificating seems only a more educated version of Middle Age Catholic hysteria. Any scientist not terrified of being tried for heresy would probably agree with Ufologists were they presented with the mountains of data and evidence that all fits together much better than the angry dismissals, belittlings, denials and cover-ups of the scientific and military community - if you approach it with a clear objective mind.
But I also see the value in keeping this stuff under at least some shadow of a doubt, as it helps control a very panicky, armed citizenry who "have enough problems" to worry about. One of our tax dollar services is that the government provides a kind of 'flat earth' cover-up, a "Go back to sleep, grandpa! Humans are still A-Number One!" lullaby for the riot-ready herd. I've compared the "are they really here or not?" debate as akin to the production code of Hollywood in the 1940s-50s, giving people both answers at the same time, so the children and moralists can believe they didn't (have sex) and the hip cats can know they did. And why not? It's basic psychology that once you give people a straight answer, they just ask ten more questions... until all mystery and excitement is drained from their lives. You do them a favor when you hide stuff, like hiding the polar bear's meat in hard to find places at the zoo.
If you want proof the people would panic at full disclosure, consider the reaction to Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast in 1938. You can also see how the public aren't ready for disclosure by the way they expect the government and the law to supply 'answers' and 'solutions' to alien visitations. If you expect the government to prevent hurricanes, for example, the only thing they can do is order you to evacuate and/or board up your windows. If you demand they do something about the UFO probe hovering over your town, the best they can do is tell you it's a mirage, or a weather balloon, and to return to your homes. If you are smart enough to know it's no weather balloon, you are smart enough to know the cops can't do much about it, so why call them?
Instead you might examine the way you lean on 'the big Other' of government to protect you, the way a child would its parent at a scary carnival. Naturally the parent's job--if you're scared--is to tell you the monsters in the spookhouse aren't real. But if you're not scared, they do you a disservice by telling you... better you don't bring your parents along at all and pretend (i.e. know) to be scared for your little broth, and have a great spine-tingling freak out together. Why the need to feel that unless everyone else believes it, it can't be true? Why not be the only one on your block who knows the true score, and just keeps it to yourself, and your little brother? Don't run around like Chicken Little, just meditate, and keep reading all the great books on the subject.
Disinformation runs rampant, but I think the people who are controlling all this information are doing a bang up job at leaking it all out slowly enough alongside the false stuff that by the time 'the tipping point' comes we wont need to panic, and suddenly instead of UFO nuts being picked on, those who "don't" believe will be made out to seem like repressed weirdos of the "world is flat" variety.
By case in point, there's a documentary right on Netflix streaming, amateurishly done almost by intention, that collects 'the best evidence' of all the UFO material, including Bob Lazar's famous interviews, analysis and presentation of alleged Roswell crash material and something I didn't know of at all before, the work of surgeon Roger Leir, a doctor who has removed 11 implants from abductees and has had enough analysis done on them to know the material they're made of is distinctly extraterrestrial, and what's more, in the areas of the body where they've been found there is no evidence of any kind of infection, antibody resistance, scarring, or anything to indicate a human stuck those things in there (such as inside the jaw near the bone, etc.)
If you don' have Netflix streaming (the documentary is called CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: PROOF OF ALIEN CONTACT) you can read all about Leir's findings and qualifications on the web, including UFO Digest:
Normally there is an inflammation response to any foreign object in the body. This results from white blood cell activity in the area, attempting to rid the body of what it considers garbage that doesn't belong there. If the object is something soft, like a sliver, the body is able to disintegrate it and take it away one piece at a time. If the body can't remove the foreign object, it does the next best thing. Thousands of cells join together in a process called differentiation, changing form and surrounding the object to wall it off and separate it from the rest of the body. Any type of foreign object placed in the body -- whether by accident, such as a splinter, or something surgically inserted by a doctor -- will show this type of inflammation. So it was extremely strange that the pathology reports on these objects showed no inflammatory cells at all. Another strange thing was also discovered. In the tissue around each implant, there were numerous nerve endings that didn't belong there. None of the investigators could say why these nerve endings were there, but it suggests the possibility that the implants act as some kind of monitoring device through attachment to the nervous system. (...) When Dr. Leir received the three different scrapings of the membrane coatings from Derrel Sims, he sent them out to three separate pathologists. When the reports came back, it turned out that the main ingredient in this very tough membrane was something simply made from blood. In this bloody mass were some brown granules. The pathologists did an iron stain test and found that these brown granules were made of oxygen-carrying pigment from human red blood cells. Besides this, they also found a material called keratin, which comprises the outer layers of human skin, hair and fingernails. Dr. Leir pointed out that if medical science could figure out how to duplicate this membrane, we would solve one of the biggest problems in medicine, that of transplant rejection. The membrane around the objects was apparently composed of material from the patients' own bodies BEFORE the objects were inserted. If we knew how to do this, we could put almost anything into the human body and have absolutely no rejection.
Leir and Sims illustrated the structure of one of the implants taken from the woman's toe. When first removed, it was flat and triangular. When the outer membrane was removed, inside were two separate pieces of shiny black metal, tightly joined together in the shape of a "T". Apparently only the membrane itself held these two metal pieces in alignment. On February 22, 1996, the first preliminary lab reports came back on the metal itself. Leir and Sims both said they would await the final reports before announcing any details. They stressed that they had sent the samples for testing to highly specialized labs and had not indicated anything about where the samples came from. Dr. Leir told the Thousand Oaks audience that the preliminary findings are "mind-boggling," and that the first metallurgist simply said: "Wow, you guys really found something here." Dr. Leir stated that as soon as they get final reports from all three labs, they will make their findings public. "I think you're watching history," he said in conclusion. (UFO Digest 8/10)
Say what you will about that documentary, I found it very refreshing in its lack of skepticism. If you read the above and find yourself getting angry at how we're all getting taken for a ride by a quack doctor and his attention seeking gambits, then maybe you're just not ready to 'let this in.' That's fine. That's why I like that I had to 'look' for this evidence in a badly reviewed, left-of-the-dial documentary (two stars based on netflix viewer ratings!) rather than seeing it plastered on the front page of the Times where it would stir only a national panic.
And if it's not true, so what? Why let it make you mad that some people believe it? It doesn't directly effect the events of your day, so it needn't effect your life one way or another, any more than a house fly should be expected to worry about your taxes. Your job and family aren't in jeopardy by accepting the fact--pretty unshakable if you have an open mind--that 'they're here.' So what's the big deal? Why is science unwilling to even accept mountains of eyewitness testimony as the basis for even a workable hypothesis? Shall I tell you? Or do you know by now that once you open that door you can never close it, that admitting the truth will not provide us with answers so much as an infinite number of terrifying questions. Do we really want to learn that we're not on the top of the food chain after all? Do we want to know what really happens to the cattle, and the missing children?
There's so many documentaries on UFOs out there that are either a) conservative, no-risk science with flimsy rationalizations, b) full of obvious hoaxes almost to discredit the entire idea, and c) stuck at the "But what if...." stage. The CLOSE ENCOUNTERS documentary goes way past all that to become its own one-doc disclosure proclamation: "well... so they're definitely real, science now has its hard evidence, so what now?" I like that, it takes guts, and the shoddy construction of the film helps it go down with just enough dubious fringes--just enough BLAIR WITCH-iness-- that you can still fall asleep at night.

I also like that it looks beyond the hang-up a lot of UFO researchers have about "disclosure," as if disclosure is the be-all and end-all, that once it happens all their worries will be over because they'll know for sure they were right, which is understandable if you're devoted to the study and have been doing all this good work for so long while idiots around you jeer and scientists wont let you in their dorky clubs, or that you're jonesing for some mainstream recognition, to become the Newton or Einstein of your day, but if you're not, why do you care so much what the government says? Even when they disclose they'll be lying.
Validation from Big Brother is just the curtain parting on an even bigger curtain. It's like THE WIZARD OF OZ suddenly reversed, with the gentle old man Frank Morgan as the mask in front--the sneering scientist declaring UFOs a lot of rot--and the crazy green face--terrifying in its size and scope like you can't imagine, waiting behind the curtain, and behind that, still another curtain to be pulled, maybe scarier, maybe stranger, maybe God-esque. Don't blame the shadowy sects who work so hard to spare you the shock and awesome horror. You'll thank them later, like you'd thank parents who didn't let you see THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE until you were at least 13 and so allowed you to grow up untraumatized. The government similarly won't tell you the CHAINSAW MASSACRE is not even a movie, and that in just two years you're going to get sawed up and served, literally, at the thanksgiving table of hungry reptoid pilgrims.
And anyway, even if it's not true, you can pretend you're pretending it's true for the scare effect, like THE BLAIR WITCH and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (above, see also my Acidemic review).
It might be interesting for people still wrestling with whether or not aliens are on our planet, coming and going in ways our science can't comprehend any more than a dog can comprehend nuclear physics. And in our sly will-to-stay-sane-y way, we're playing right into their hands. At any rate, they like things as they are -- obviously. They don't want to land on the White House lawn like scared skeptics demand any more than nature documentary teams want to intervene in the matters of the the African Serengeti. Imagine a pride of lions reasoning that they're the highest life form in the universe, because if those humans at the edge of the preserve really existed, why don't they come forward and challenge the dominant male of the pride? Obviously as they have no fangs and claws, they're not real.

Or, imagine a jeep of nature conservationists spotting lions attacking a gazelle and racing to stop it. "That gazelle had a family, goddamnit!" Since we don't do that, the gazelles think we're evil. "How can God the protector of our Eden actually exist if he lets this slaughter of our people go on?"
Or now take the metaphor further, the conservationists decide to tag the ears of some gazelles so they can monitor the population, and to check their blood and see what parasites they're carrying, etc.. So they grab a gazelle, take a blood sample, tag its ear with a plastic tag, and release it back into the wild. Maybe while examining him they notice he has ringworm, so they give him a shot for it. Then they release him into the wild and he gambols away as if nothing happened. The gazelle's brain isn't really hardwired to accept this strange event, but somehow this gazelle, even without a proper memory as such, feels that something weird happened to him, something not of his world.
His friends don't believe it; that plastic thing on his ear is probably a leaf and will fall off in time. They analyze the plastic tag in their gazelle labs (they nibble at it and do a taste test) and since it doesn't compare to any leaves they know of, and they can't eat it, they dismiss the tag as an tumor in the ear of said gazelle and quickly change the subject. There's lions to worry about!
Even more complex, different agendas persist: some humans invade and kill gazelles for sport, or to take their horns or meat, some just tag them or take pictures. There's not much gazelles can do about it, so they forget it. In dreams they remember the white men with the tags and needles as a lion, a lion with thin sharp venomous stinger claws, but only in dreams, cover memories, ways to try and fit the strange events of their lives into their normal existence. If the abducted gazelle demands the dominant buck do something about it, the only avenue said buck has, therefore, is to assure the herd this gazelle was only dreaming.
This conversation never happened. Do you deny it? Don't worry, aliens can't stand the cold germs that God, in his infinite wisdom, spread upon the earth, and every once in awhile a fast lion takes a human hunter down. They can be stopped. But first they have to be believed--and not in a half-assed 'oh yeah, military knows all about 'em' way, but in a "holy freakin' we're barely a pawn in this cosmic game and we're fin to get our asses kicked off the board any day now" way, and who wants to deal with that, except artists and crazy people? For they alone have always felt thus. Ask not for whom the flu germs toll, they toll for thee.
Crop circles are formations of plants usually include canola, wheat, rice paddies, barley and linseed. They are seen and reported in 29 countries and believed to be made out of light, sound and magnetism. Crop circle formations were already mentioned as early as late 17th Century. Most witnesses on this unusual phenomenon described very bright and coloured balls of light that came during or before the formation of crop circles.Serious interest regarding the unexplained formation came around 1980, particularly the crop circles found in southern England. In later part of the '80s, the formation developed from simple circles to design with straight lines making pictograms. Designs became more complex after 1990 and recently, designs are expressing elements of fourth dimensional processes in quantum physics.The size comprising crop circles has also increased with some taking about 200,000 sq. ft. More than 10,000 crop circles have been reported recently.In early 1990's, Doug and Dave revealed how they made the crop circles. However, skeptics believe that the two were commissioned by the government to control public interest regarding crop circles. The original crop circles never break the stems but only bend them. A plank or garden roller, which was used to demonstrate how the crop circles were done by humans, can flatten the crop to the ground which can damage the plants clearly. Original circles seem to be made out of a short and intense burst of heat making the stems to soften and drop just above the ground at 90 degrees where they reharden without damage into their new and very permanent position.www.eCropCircles.com (c) 2012
UFO SIGHTING IN SANDY SPRINGS, GEORGIA ON SEPTEMBER 16TH 2013 - FOUR SPHERES ABOUT 500 FEET OR MORE ABOVE OUR COURTYARD: RAN FOR CAMERA, GONE 15 SECONDS LATER.
I am writing to report a sighting of four ball shape objects this morning (9/16) at 8:01 am. I was finishing my walk with our dog, walking through our courtyard, when I saw four round spheres in a line. They were several hundred feet in the air, I would estimate 500 feet. They were in two sets of two and basically stationary while slowly rotating. One was reddish in color, the other three, gray. I tried taking a photo with my cellphone but could not focus, it wanted to focus on the contrails, much higher and behind. I ran the few steps inside my house to get my camera and tripod, but on my return 15 seconds later they were gone, disappearing from nearly directly overhead. I believe this would exclude the possibility of balloons. Skies were clear with a few contrails at much higher altitude, I noticed little or no wind. No witnesses besides myself were around. I swear to the truthfulness of this sighting. In the attached photo, I have used Photoshop to approximate the size, shape and location of the objects. The base photo was taken 5 minutes after the sighting. (On the attached form I stated "10 times that of a star" in apparent size, and also, "1/4 the size of a full moon," rather than "aspirin" as I chose here. I also indicated the actual size was larger than a basketball.)

http://www.ufodocarchive.org/nicap/UFO Investigator/023%20JUL-AUG%201964.pdf
Quote from the article, 'Wave of Close-Range Sightings Reported':
"A rotating UFO, emitting a hissing sound, hovered 'like a humming-bird' over the car of a South Carolina businessman June 29. This was the second car-pacing incident in a week along the Atlantic seaboard, the scene of the most recent UFO activity.
The sighting wave which began late in April, the largest since November 1957, has continued steadily ever since. It has included an unprecedented number of landing, near-landing and close approach cases.
The first case to be widely publicized was the report of an egg-shaped UFO observed on the ground near Socorro, N.M., April 24 by Officer Lonnie Zamora (see separate story). For about a week the reports were carried on the newswires and made front page headlines in many cities. National TV networks reported some of the landing cases, showing films of the sites. Then the news faded off the newswires and front pages. But the reports continued.
The most commonly reported shapes have been oval and disc. Sound has been heard in an unusual number of cases, and body lights have been visible in nighttime sightings."

From AOL Information (1/24/2011) Naked on Jan 23, 2011Indonesian rice farmers in Slemen, Yogyakarta, got noticeably a admiration Sunday daylight when they revealed that overnight a serious crop circle had dismally fashioned in one of their fields. The circle, which above and beyond includes abode exact patterns of a triangle and less important circles, has an imposing diameter of close by 90 feet, according to The Jakarta Reveal. One resident, Cahyo Utomo, speculated that the odd scrap of rice dome artwork wasn't artificial. "The circles were offer at the same time as yesterday daylight. I bear in mind they were passed away by an alien spaceship," he assumed. "It is out cold that this was completed by the twirl or any objective," he very. Whether crafted by humans or aliens, thousands of crop circles hold been reported all over the world for various decades, but similar to a snooty concern recorded in England. And they're not continuously on all sides, similar to dependable of the above decorative and dry ones looking close to scary natural world or lasting carefully worked-out symbols or DNA sequences. The patterns are generally created by something that flattens diverse crops, close to rice, wheat and rye, and they're by and large revealed by farmers in the out of date daylight wherever they didn't exist the night in advance. In dependable cases, clan hold admitted being the architects of crop circles, by through wires and boards to knock down the crops. But lasting that doesn't remodel all crop circles wherever, which foliage various of them shadowy. According to Moedji Raharto, the from way back head of the Bosscha Observatorium, Indonesia's oldest observatory, "If this very is the work of a UFO or extraterrestrial beings, it is approaching 100 percent physical they would hold passed away dependable store of suggestion past. "The chemical shape of the earth itself may well display the ancestry of the phenomenon. For quantity, when a meteorite enters the caress and forms a fissure, it foliage traces of elements that are not independence to the area," Moedji assumed. He very that literal come to blows may well be assumed in a earth analysis of the Yogyakarta circle. This is the first crop circle reported in 2011. Slemen make conform fundamental Iwan Ramani wouldn't allot either way on whether the circle in his rule was crafted by a UFO, humans or lasting a pure phenomenon. He's unmoving investigating.

IT'S NOT ALL JUST ABOUT ME
Alfred Lehmberg comments on Dr. Mortellaro here and on UFO Magazine's blog.
Speaking of, very cool Paratopia has a magazine! Which includes Carol Rainey's article on Dr. Mortellaro, Emma Woods, Linda Cortile, and so much more... MUCH more, sure to shake up UFOlogy's regime just as Emma Woods has. Please read this article, everyone.
Lesley Gunter is busy as one of the coordinators of the "Wake Up Now!" conference in New Mexico in the spring. Wish I could attend!
Anthony Bragalia's recent postings about the Socorro/Zamora sighting of 1964 have raised hackles among the UFO mainstream.
Mr. Bragalia presented a scenario that strikes at the heart of ufology's belief-system: that UFOs and flying saucers are extraterrestrial craft, piloted by alien life-forms or robotic creations.
When that belief system is questioned, no matter how obliquely, UFO's "believers" move aggressively to squelch the heterodoxy.
This is what happened when Mr. Bragalia had the temerity to suggest that the 1964 Socorro sighting was a prank promulgated by students at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
Ufologist Ray Stanford became particularly exercised by Mr. Bragalia's assertion(s). Why?
Mr. Stanford's "fame" in the UFO community - he has none in the real world - rests on his intrepid "investigation" of the Socorro episode, almost immediately after it occurred.
His book about the sighting has become a UFO Bible of sorts for the Socorro event and its aftermath.
If someone were to rebuke Mr. Stanford's "research," he would be left without the legacy he has accumulated for the past forty-five years. So one can understand his pique and desperate attempts to protect his turf.
David Rudiak, another ET die-hard, also came out of the woodwork to take on Mr. Bragalia's thesis. Mr. Rudiak is nothing if not thorough in his attention to minutiae of various UFO accounts - Roswell and Socorro among them.
Where Mr. Rudiak goes wrong, and he is off base in his ET bias when it comes to Socorro, is that he overlooks the mundane aspects of the Socorro details as related by Lonnie Zamora: the blue-flame of the propulsion that landed and lifted Zamora's craft; the "beings" seen outside the egg-shaped craft, wearing white overalls; the flight pattern of the craft as it lifted and flew off; the indentations left behind, in the sand; the "roar" that accompanied the thing, et cetera.
The Zamora craft wasn't exotic enough to be an alien craft.
Ufologist Frank Warren posted a kind of rebuttal to Mr. Bragalia's expos'e. One of the points made by Mr. Warren was that other egg-shaped UFOs were spotted before and after Zamora's sighting.
What Mr. Warren didn't note was that egg-shaped craft have been listed among UFO reports often, but none with an insignia, unique to Zamora's UFO, nor any that had beings outside them, wearing human-like clothing. And none had produced the "roar" that Officer Zamora heard.
Mr. Warren is offended by Mr. Bragalia's direct assertion that the Socorro event was hoax, ostensibly and admittedly a premature assertion since Mr. Bragalia hasn't produced (yet) the person behind the prank or the methodology of their prank.
But Mr. Bragalia has only posed the possibility - one that has been raised before - that the Socorro episode was hoax-oriented, and Mr. Bragalia has mustered some interesting circumstantial evidence to support his hypothesis.
However, the Socorro sighting is so entrenched in the ufological psyche as an extraterrestrial landing (for repairs it seems) that any hypothesis outside the ET one will be attacked viciously and illogically, as is the case when any belief system is challenged.
I suggest Eric Hoffer's insightful book "The True Believer" [Mentor Books, NY, 1951] to make my point.
And to see how hoaxes work, the Curtis D. MacDougall book "Hoaxes" [Dover Publications, NY, 1940/1958] for details about the mind-set of those perpetrating hoaxes and those who fall for them.
Ronald Millar's "The Piltdown Men" [Ballantine Books, NY, 1972] also tells how grat men can be duped by hoaxes and hoaxers who are less skilled then they should be when it comes to discovering how a hoax operates.
In the world of ufology and UFOs the gullible are legion. And when it comes to the sacred cows of the UFO literature - the Arnold sighting, the Trent photos, Roswell, Socorro, and even Rendlesham, the UFO believers will do anything to make sure that anyone or anything that undercuts the "extraterrestrial" premise of those sightings should be stomped out and eliminated from any dialogue about UFOs.
The Bragalia hoax hypothesis has legs, of a kind, it is shaky perhaps, but not moribund and not unsound, if what he has uncovered has any merit whatsoever.
And when it comes to UFOs, nothing should be so sacrosanct that it can't be thrown on the table for review and civil discussion. Otherwise, we shall find ourselves with a fascistic approach to truth-seeking; that is, only the orthodox shall prevail and anything that goes against that orthodoxy should be quelled at all costs - even if it means a diminishment of the truth.
7 June 1987 (The Milwaukee Re-examination, Wisconsin)
The Milwaukee Re-examination reports on two 1987 Belleville (Wisconsin) UFO incidents:
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19870607&id=3V8aAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CSsEAAAAIBAJ">Quote from the article:" 'The Central for UFO Studies has officially classified the Belleville sightings as genuine UFO sightings,' held Don Schmitt, co-director of the center.
The first sighting was what Legalize Director Glenn Kazmar and other Belleville officers saw three flahing lights along with 8:30 p.m. Jan. 15 and 3:00 a.m. Jan. 16. Belleville is on the Dane County-Green State line, south of Madison.
Novel Belleville sighting was reported Lay bare 6, what Harvey Funseth and some other populace saw some cigar-shaped objects about 5:30 p.m.
Funseth, a state highway surveyor, held he and Fred Gochnauer were yet to come ground from work what they saw a horrendous cigar-shaped object in the sky once three slighter objects irregular it."
