New Ufo Sightings Investigated In Erath County
By MATT FRAZIERmfrazier@star-telegram.com

That's not the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Texas' UFOs are back - just in time for Halloween.

Reports of UFOs sighted over North Central Texas last week are the latest in an apparent sequel to the Stephenville sightings in January, which made headlines nationwide.

Dozens of residents in and around Erath County reported seeing strange lights in the sky the evening of Oct. 23, according to the "Stephenville Empire-Tribune, "which also reported that the military has confirmed the presence of F-16s in the area at that time.

"I think more people are willing to come forward now that more people are talking about this," said Whitney White-Ashley, a reporter for the paper.

CNN reported last week's sightings, interviewing Dublin resident Andy Monroe, who caught a 30-second video of a line of red lights he says encircled an oval shape floating in the sky.

Most of the descriptions are of an oval shape with lights around the outside, said Alejandro Rojas with the Mutual UFO Network, a nationwide organization created in 1969 to scientifically study UFO sightings. A MUFON investigator is interviewing witnesses, and the group has already sent requests for radar data from the F-16s.

"These are descriptions that were sent into our Web site the night of the sighting, so they could not have been something just copied from media coverage," Rojas said.

JANUARY SIGHTINGS


In or around Jan. 8, dozens of people around Dublin and Stephenville - about 70 miles southwest of Fort Worth - reported seeing something that did not move like conventional aircraft.

Descriptions varied. Some told of objects up to a mile long and hundreds of yards high. Others reported seeing two to eight lights that flew in formation, changed color and shone with intensity greater than a welding flame. Some witnesses said the objects were accompanied or followed by military jets.

LATEST TEXAS SIGHTINGS

According to MUFON'S Web site:


Near Dublin. A couple said that at about 7:20 p.m. Tuesday they were headed west on U.S. 377 when they saw a flying object sporting three sets of three lights in a semicircle.

Dallas. A man said he was walking his dog at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday when he saw a triangle-shaped object with orange lights flying silently almost due south over downtown.

Fairfield. Residents reported seeing from their porch an oval object glowing red while hovering at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in the southwest. "Occasionally it would throw a whitish blue light. We could see other air traffic way high above it [planes fly along Interstate 45 as a normal route]. This looked nothing like what else was in the sky."

Florida Witness Describes Hovering Boomerang Shaped Ufo
A Florida witness at Palm Harbor reported watching a hovering, boomerang-shaped UFO with three bright white lights, according to testimony in Case 63122 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his wife as a passenger were driving northbound along East Lake Road and approaching a stop light when the object was first seen on February 5, 2015.

"I looked up at approximately 70 degrees and noticed a series of three bright, white lights," the witness stated. "There were no red aircraft lights."

There was a 10-second gap when the object was obscured by trees - but during the second sighting it again appeared to be hovering. Pictured: Palm Harbor, FL. (Credit: Google)

As the witness vehicle moved toward the object, trees obstructed their view. But another 40 yards later, they saw the object again.

"The object reappeared approximately at the same location where it was first sighted, indicating it had not moved from the point where it was first sighted 10 seconds before."

The object again seemed to be hovering in a stationary position in the sky under 500 feet and less than 500 feet from the witness.

"There were no flashing or colored lights. There was no fuselage, only a boomerang-shaped wing with a white light at the apex and one on each wing tip."

The witness moved when the light changed and they circled back in about three minutes only to see that the object was gone.

"I probably could have subtended the object with my extended hand. This is not a familiar flight path. It was dark except for street lights and a full moon which did not interfere with the sighting, however, it may have served to back light the object and make the silhouette of the wing easy to see. The lights were large in proportion to the actual wing they appeared affixed to, making the proportions different than a passing aircraft. It was over in about 10 seconds or less, but it was really cool."

The entire sighting lasted approximately 10 seconds. Pictured: Palm Harbor, FL. (Credit: Google)

Palm Harbor is a community in Pinellas County, Florida, population 57,439.

Florida is currently a UFO Alert Level 5 - with 1.92 sightings per million population based on MUFON January 2015 statistics. Florida received a total of 37 UFO reports in January.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels - 1 through 5 - where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 - 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 - 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 - 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.

Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

May 1992 To 2010 Cannock Chase Ufo Sightings And Missing Time

Birmingham UFO Group Report

GLOWING UFOS


Helen and Barry moved to their current address, a quiet cul-de-sac in Huntington on the edge of Cannock Chase in July 1990 when they were both 43 years old. They have a good view from their lounge to the North of both open fields and dense forest.

"Aerial map of Huntington:"

One night in May 1992 the couple were sitting outside when they noticed a bright white light to the North over the Chase. As they watched, the object moved up and down, side to side, and periodically shone down a bright beam of light to the ground. Due to these movements they initially assumed it was nothing more than a helicopter. However suddenly the object vanished, leaving nothing but a red trail across the sky for several seconds! The couple were amazed by what they had just witnessed.

The following evening the same object was back in the sky again, roughly the same place it had been previously. Helen and Barry began watching it intently. To Helen the object appeared more long than round in shape, it reminded her of a dragonfly. After a short while a red glowing orb of light appeared below and to the left of the main object. Soon after this a second red orb appeared below and to the right. The two red orbs moved closer together until they were directly under the main object. Then all three unidentified lights vanished at once.

Astoundingly this same thing began happening every night for the rest of the week. It always happened at the same time in the same location. Helen and Barry informed their teenage children and their next door neighbour of the objects, and on numerous evenings they too saw them. After about a week the lights no longer appeared in the sky.

However this wasn't the last time they were seen. They appeared on several other weeks between June and August. Each time they would reappear for numerous days in a row.

In July one of their neighbours was having a leaving party for a Scandinavian exchange student who had been visiting for the week. During the evening, the unusual glowing object was once again seen in the sky, this time very low down. Their neighbour found some binoculars and some of those present managed to get a closer look at the object. Like usual, the two red orbs appeared underneath and then the lights appeared to fly away in a North Westerly direction extremely fast. The exchange student was astounded by what she had seen.

The UFOs appeared so regularly during those months that it became quite common to observe them. Barry would just say to Helen "You friend's in the sky again tonight!" The couple were unsure if anyone else also noticed the lights in the area; if they did they kept quiet about it. Helen used to regularly check the newspapers to see if anything was reported but the lights were never mentioned.

MISSING TIME


At the end of August for the bank holiday weekend, the family decided to go on holiday to Tywyn in Wales where they own a caravan. Their eldest son travelled with his sister in his own car. Barry and Helen travelled in their car with their 5 year old son. They set off in the early hours of the morning at about 2.30am to avoid the traffic. About 10 minutes into the journey Barry realised that the car was not driving fast. They advised their son to split up from them and take the M54 motorway from Featherstone. They assumed that the reduced speed was due to some unclean petrol. Barry decided that the best course of action would be to travel back home, siphon off some of the petrol, then they could top it up at a 24 hour petrol station, before travelling on the A5 to Telford.

When they arrived home they found that the car was responding a bit better, so decided to continue their journey through Penkridge to the A5 without bothering to stop to siphon off any petrol. As they left the house Barry noticed the glowing light in the sky again in the usual position. He pointed it out to Helen.

They continued on their journey. It was a very clear night with no rain. The road was very quiet with hardly any other traffic. They travelled at a slower speed than normal, about 45 mph. The distance to the caravan at Tywyn was 106 miles.

As they left Welshpool on the A458 and began driving up a long hill, Barry said to Helen "Your friend must be keeping an eye on us!" Helen looked out of the left passenger window and noticed a bright white light in the sky, which looked very similar to the glowing light they had seen over the Chase on many occasions. It was higher in the sky than they had normally seen the UFO at. As they were travelling West at that point not North, Helen thought that the light must be a bright star or planet rather than the UFO.

"Photograph showing the long hill just west of Welshpool where the light was first spotted:"

They continued driving and the light remained to the left of them in the sky. As they approached a deep valley which leads to Mallwyd, Helen noticed that the light seemed to be getting nearer to them. She pointed this fact out to Barry. He continued to drive, keeping one eye on the road and the other on the light. They neared an area which they have nicknamed "the wilderness" due to the fact that the fields on one side of the road are always brown and scorched, while the other side is always green. There is a line of pine trees growing in this area. The light now got brighter and seemed to be hovering low down over these trees. It was now quite close to the road and clearly an object rather than just a bright star.

"Photograph of the approach to the valley which leads to Mallwyd:"

Helen was now very frightened due to the proximity of the object. She stared up at it through the passenger side window. The object was long and cigar-shaped, and had small illuminated square windows along it. It was at least the size of an aeroplane, and seemed to be completely silent. It appeared to follow alongside them for a short distance, during which it briefly shone down some searchlight-like beams towards them. They then turned a sharp bend at the start of the valley. Helen now saw the familiar red orbs arrive. One came in from the left, and the other from the right.

At this moment all the objects flew off together extremely fast down the valley and out towards the sea. Barry and Helen did not say much to each other after it had gone. They were quite shocked at what had taken place. By the time they reached the caravan, it was beginning to get light. They both felt exhausted. Their 5 year old son had been asleep in the back of the car for the entire time.

When they arrived their children looked extremely happy to see them. They soon found out that the time was now 7 o'clock in the morning! The journey had taken far longer than it should have. They had set off at 2.30 am. By the time they had returned home after the car started going slow it was around 2.50 am. The journey from their home to the caravan was 106 miles and they were driving approximately 45 mph. Therefore they should not have arrived any later than 5.10 am. There was nearly 2 hours of time they could not account for. Both Barry and Helen were very confused by what had happened, as they had no recollection of stopping at any point to observe the UFO.

"Aerial map showing the entire journey indicating Huntington (A), Welshpool (B), Mallwyd (C) and Tywyn (D):"

The couple told their son and daughter all about what had happened, but have not spoken to many others about it. In Helen's own words "Unless something like this has happened to you, it is difficult to expect people to understand. It is beyond reasoning. There are no explanations".

FURTHER SIGHTINGS


After the missing time experience, the UFO was not seen again over Cannock Chase until the following year. In the summer of 1993 they only saw the object on several occasions, but it was still enough to know that they were still in the area for whatever purpose. On one of these occasions they had gone to pick up Helen's father from Bloxwich to bring him back to theirs for a visit. Prior to this experience her father had been sceptical about what had been observed, but now he too had become a witness, and from this point onward kept an eye on the night sky.

The UFO would not be seen again for many years after this. However in 2010 Helen and Barry once again spotted it in the sky over the Chase. They observed it for around an hour. As had been seen on previous occasions it was shooting beams of light down into the forest. During this incident they attempted to take photographs. Unfortunately the light from the object was too bright and the photos didn't come out correctly. Since then the object has not returned to the area, but due to the amount of repeated times it has been seen it is likely that the witnesses have not seen the last of it.

ANALYSIS OF EVENTS


It seems incredible that a UFO would return to the same area again and again. In most cases a UFO will be seen only once at a specific location, or only a few times within a particular area. However due to the aspects of what has been observed, it is very hard to provide a suitable mundane explanation for what has been seen.

The obvious explanation for the lights seen at a distance would be a helicopter over the Chase, military or otherwise, performing a regular operation for whatever purpose. However there are several reasons why this could not have been the case. First of all, if the helicopter did switch its lights off suddenly this could give the appearance that it had vanished, but not leave a glowing red trail in the air. It was clear that the objects had not just switched off but had left the area at an extreme speed. This was observed on many occasions, so an optical illusion seems very unlikely. While the colours of the lights seen - white and red - were correct for helicopter navigation lights, the white light had an elongated shape, it was not simply a glowing light. Also the red lights did not appear alongside the white one, they would appear separated and then move towards each other shortly before all the lights would vanish. Again if the lights had only been seen once, you could perhaps assume this was just an illusion caused by a change in angle of view. However the lights were seen time and time again performing this same pattern. If it was just due to viewing angle surely the red lights would sometimes have been visible immediately? The lights were also seen by the whole family, their neighbours and other individuals. Surely this many people could not mistake helicopter lights for something far more unusual?

Then we must take into account the fact that the lights were seen much closer up during the couple's journey to Wales. It was clear that these were the same objects that had been seen over the Chase, and to separate them as entirely different objects is unrealistic. It was also clear that the white light was a cigar-shaped self illuminated object, which even had a row of visible windows along it. The red orbs of light were definitely separate objects and not connected in any way to the main glowing object.

The missing time aspect of the close encounter with the UFOs is fascinating, and does suggest that something else occurred. There are many cases of abductions taking place while people have been out driving in their car. These incidents usually begin with a UFO approaching the vehicle, which is often followed by a period of missing time which cannot be accounted for. This is because the memories of the experience are often blocked out, probably to reduce the trauma involved. Barry and Helen were aware of the time they had set off from home, the speed they were driving at, and the distances involved to reach their destination. It was clear that the journey had taken nearly 2 hours longer than it should have. This fact was concurred by their son and daughter who were extremely worried by the time Barry and Helen did arrive at the caravan.

I recommended a hypnotic regression to attempt to discover what may have happened during the period of missing time. However at present the couple do not wish to proceed with this as they are worried by what might be unearthed. If they change their minds then this report may later be updated with additional details that come to light. It may also be updated if the family have any further sightings of the UFO over Cannock Chase. I have suggested that they get hold of a decent infra red camera to attempt to capture the UFO on film if it should reappear.

The Problematic Carl Sagan

The Problematic Carl Sagan
The other night I had dinner with a bunch of writer, filmmaker, actor and otherwise creative friends, and I was talking about my J. Allen Hynek book project with Cxxx, a documentary filmmaker. I mentioned that I was trying to track down a video copy of the November 8, 1973 episode of "The Dick Cavett Show", but wasn't having any luck so far...

The episode of this classic American TV talk show is important to my book research because it brought together Dr. Hynek, Dr. Carl Sagan, best-selling author and creator of the PBS TV series "Cosmos," recent UFO abductee Charles Hickson, recent UFO witness and helicopter pilot Army Capt. Lawrence Coyne and UFO witness and NASA astronaut James McDivitt to talk about the "flap" of UFO sightings that had been sweeping the nation for months. The program is perhaps most notable for bringing Hynek and Sagan together, as Hynek had become known as a proponent of serious UFO research and Sagan had become known as a proponent of serious UFO skepticism.

Sagan had been systematically picking holes in Capt. Coyne's account of how a UFO had pulled his Army helicopter up nearly 2,000 feet in altitude during his encounter, and Dr. Hynek came to Coyne's defense, saying "Altimeters don't hallucinate. To which Dr. Sagan replied, "I don't mean to attack Captain Coyne, but people who "read "altimeters hallucinate."

Ouch... That had to have left a mark.

So at dinner, my friend Cxxx asked what TV network the show had appeared on. Turns out that in his work making documentary films, he frequently requests archival footage from TV networks, and they happily oblige. So he's offered to approach ABC and request access to this episode of "The Dick Cavett Show"... which is just amazing. Thank you, Cxxx!

My best idea up to that point had been to write to Dr. Sagan's widow and ask if she had a copy of the show that she could give me access to, but that was a tricky letter. How could I explain that I wanted to see the video so I could write in my book what a knob her husband had been to everyone on the show? Clearly that wasn't going to work, so I just wrote her a very bland, generic letter. I think Cxxx's approach is better.

"

Why is Carl Sagan smiling? Maybe because he thinks he knows exactly "when extraterrestrial civilizations have visited the earth.

So, yeah, I'm conflicted. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for both Dr. Hynek and Dr. Sagan, and I hate to see them fight. But here's why Sagan's disdain for the UFO experience is so problematic. He believed that life almost certainly must exist elsewhere in the universe. And he believed that at least some life on other planets must be technologically advanced and capable of interstellar travel. And he believed that some of those civilizations could very well have visited earth in the distant past. But he ridiculed people who believed that they were still visiting the earth in 1973...

His logic was that the time and distance between our world and theirs must be so great that they would only visit us every couple hundred thousand years or so. But it seems to me that he was making some very big assumptions there, and engaging in what Dr. Hynek was fond of describing as "temporal provincialism," or the belief that an alien race would have to be locked into the same developmental timeline as we are.

I love you Carl, but I think you blew it on this one. I don't mean to attack you, but people who accuse people of reading altimeters of hallucinating hallucinate.


A Tale Of Two Figels Robert Hastings And Robert Salas Hard Problem

A Tale Of Two Figels Robert Hastings And Robert Salas Hard Problem
David Chalmers, philosopher of the mind, states that the issue of deciphering the mystery of qualia is the "hard problem" concerning the understanding of consciousness. So it is with Salas and Hastings, both conjoined together, having their own version of "the hard problem", that being phenomena-wise, either as co-existing together, or as separate entities. Can the one exist without the other, or does Salas' claims survive solely on an "incident" involving Echo Flight?

Robert Hastings recently posted an article on The UFO Chronicles web site, "UK UFO Debunker Strikes Again: Will Dr. David Clarke Ever Get Anything Right?" In the midst of the article, Hastings makes the following statement:

"As for James Carlson's completely discredited claim about there being no UFO involvement in a full-flight missile shutdown at Malmstrom, on March 16, 1967, one may "hear what actually happened" from the lips of Carlson's father's deputy missile commander, retired Col. Walter Figel, by listening to the tape recorded conversations Salas and I had with Figel years ago, before he began nervously changing his story after the public spotlight fell on him. Unfortunately for the timid, now-waffling Figel, his earlier admissions are a matter of record..."Hastings now believes that Figel is "timid and now-waffling", yet his "earlier admissions are a matter of record, ergo" the truth. So was he telling the truth back in 1996 and 2008, but now he is lying in 2010? Perhaps James Carlson is not so "discredited " after all when the main witness is now being treated as a hostile witness. Hastings and Salas have been using Figel's statements for years in an attempt to shore up their UFO claims, yet when you read both interviews they are filled with contradictions. Both versions of the Echo incident can't be reconciled with one or the other. One version may be fabricated based upon the confabulations of the interviewee and the wishful thinking of authors leaving the other as the "correct" version. But, which one is which? Figel's statements are fundamentally different when each interview is viewed separately. With this revelation, one begs to ask the question...Who is the real Figel in any of the versions of the story? Contradictions abound and one has to wonder if both Hastings and Salas were totally oblivious to the differences in Figel's statements or were both willing to "throw caution to the wind " with the hopes that no one would notice the discrepancies. If both authors knew of the contradictions in Figel's interviews then one is led to believe that this was an attempt at deception, but who is deceiving who? The answer lies in Figel's statements made separately to Hastings and Salas, twelve years spaced between the two interviews.

"WALTER FIGEL'S VERSION ACCORDING TO SALAS

In 1996, Salas interviewed Walter Figel, presumably, for the purpose of providing information on Echo Flight that would soon go into the book, Faded Giant. In this setting, Salas needs the Echo incident, UFOs and all, to form the foundation of an initial erroneous November flight shutdown and eventually the final settlement of an Oscar flight shutdown. Figel tells Salas that on 16 March 1967, all ten of Echo's sorties dropped off of alert. Figel tells Salas that two of his ten LFs had maintenance teams on site performing maintenance on the "cans" (slang for missile guidance system). One of the LFs, site not specified, dropped off alert and Figel contacts the security team via VHF radio. Figel has the security guard authenticate and asks for one of the maintenance team members. The security guard tells Figel that there is a UFO hovering over the site. Figel dispatches the SAT strike teams to both manned LFs. By then, the remaining LFs would have already dropped off of alert status. The strike teams report back to Figel that they were able to observe that each manned LF had a maintenance team and security guards on site. (Figel does not mention any observations of a UFO at this point in the interview.) Figel states that after the incident he made a special trip to Offutt AFB for the purpose of briefing CINCSAC:

WF: I remember I got a trip to Omaha to discuss [the Echo Flight shutdown] with CINCSAC (the office of the Commander-in-Chief, Strategic Air Command, Offutt AFB, Omaha, Nebraska ).

RS: Oh, you did?!

WF: Oh yeah. Someplace, if I look deep enough, I could probably find the TDY (Temporary Duty) orders to do that.

Towards the end of the interview, Figel alludes to the strike teams actually observing a UFO over one of the sites, but is unable to provide a specific LF, manned or not, nor is he able to recall names of the individuals involved:

WF:...having a dozen [sic] missiles go down in one flight is significant. [Laughs] Let's face it, the [average] failure rate was nowheres near-was miniscule compared to that.

RS: That's right, and then UFO sightings at the same time.

WF: Well, I [reportedly] had them hovering over the sites, you know, and I said, "Right, I'm not a believer in that crap!" And that was reported over the secure line, and I told those guys to make no transmissions and, when the Strike Team got out there-they were on VHF back to me-and they had no idea in the world what I even told them to look for, and they reported them [too].

WALTER FIGEL'S VERSION ACCORDING TO HASTINGS


Per Robert Hastings", "On October 20, 2008, I called Col. Figel and asked him to elaborate on his earlier statements to Bob Salas."

In Walter Figel's statements to Hastings, Echo had three to four sites with maintenance teams performing routine maintenance. When pressed by Hastings, Figel narrows in on four LFs being manned. At least two of the sites were running on diesel generators. Figel was unable to recall what type of maintenance was actually being performed but reiterated that it was "routine." Figel then tells of the incident:

WF: [When] the missiles dropped off alert, I started calling the maintenance people out there on the radio to talk to them. I had the security guard authenticate so I know I'm talking to a security guard and, you know, [I asked] "What's going on? Is maintenance trying to get into the silo?" [The guard said,] "No, they're still in the camper." [So, I said,] "Get 'em up, I want to talk to them." Then I tried to tell them what I had was a Channel 9 No-Go.

WF: Uh, we did that with the sites that were there, that [had maintenance teams and their guards on site] and I sent Strike Teams to two other sites. There's no sense sending them where I [already] have a guard and a gun and an authenticate.

RH: So far in this narrative, you haven't mentioned UFOs.

WF: [Laughs] That's correct. Um, somewhere along the way, um, one of the maintenance people-cause he didn't know what was going on any place else either, they have no capability of talking to each other [at different launch sites], in other words, they can talk to the [launch] capsule but they can't talk to each other-

RH: Right

WF: -unless they were on the radio and no one was using the radio except the security police. And the guy says, "We got a Channel 9 No-Go. It must be a UFO hovering over the site. I think I see one here." [I said,] "Yeah, right, whatever. What were you drinking?" And he tried to convince me of something and I said, well, I basically, you know, didn't believe him. [Laughs] I said, you know, we have to get somebody to look at this [No-Go]. [A short time later] one of the Strike Teams that went out, one of the two, claimed that they saw something over the site.

Based upon the above narrative, Figel tells Hastings that it was the maintenance team that reports the UFO and the strike teams are sent out only to two unmanned sites. Most importantly, the maintenance team that makes the UFO claim is completely underground in the LF/silo reporting to Figel on the SIN line (Secure Intersite Network) and as discussed in a previous article, the top side security guards do not make any reports via radio that they have seen anything unusual. One of the strike teams report that they see an object over one of the sites, but no site location is specified as to whether it is one of the two manned LFs or one of the remaining eight unmanned LFs. ("Tim Hebert's "Off Alert, Echo...Parts 1 and 2.)"

CONTRADICTIONS, DECEPTIONS, OR LIES

As can be seen, we now have two versions of the same incident for consideration. Both are filled with contradictions and cannot be reconciled with one another:

1. The number of manned LFs and the actual maintenance that was being performed. Was it two LFs or three to four LFs? Were the maintenance teams working on the Missile Guidance Systems, the "cans", or were they doing normal routine work?

2. Who made the first report of a UFO over one of the sites...the maintenance team or the topside security guard?

3. The manner in which the SAT strike teams were dispatched...to two unmanned LFs or to the manned LFs.

4. Figel states to Salas that he made a TDY trip to Offutt to brief CINSAC, but this information is omitted in Hastings' interview. Eric Carlson, the Echo crew commander, states that he did receive a call from a general officer from SAC HQ, presumably from the SAC Command Post, asking about the launch capabilities of Echo ten missile sorties. He makes no mentioning of having to personally go to Offutt AFB to brief anyone.

Only one of the two versions can be considered "correct" with the other being either a fabrication or the confabulations of the interviewee. Both cannot exist together. Hastings and Salas have spent a decade researching the Echo incident and both have relied heavily on Walter Figel's statements. Both authors were in contact with each other and would have compared notes. It seems illogical that both could not have seen the remarkable differences in content and context with both interviews. Perhaps Figel only told them what they wanted to hear and both ran with the story regardless of the facts. Figel always believed the UFO report to be a joke and maybe led both interviewers on a "wild goose chase" as a continuation of the original joke. But one issue stands out, both versions contradict each other, either Hastings and Salas were blinded by their "quest", or they and/or Figel deceptively misled the public, or they foolishly and unknowingly propagated the continuation of a confabulation. There lies Hastings' and Salas' "hard problem."

Area 51 Is Officially Acknowledged But Not Ufos

Area 51 Is Officially Acknowledged But Not Ufos
A report by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has disclosed that over 50 percent of the unidentified flying objects (UFOs) usually witnessed above the ground in the late 1950s and 1960s were US spy planes.

According to a report published by Dayton Daily News, the U-2 and SR-71 spy planes were thought as UFOs over half of the time during Project Blue Book.

David MacDonald, executive director of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), said that for sure a lot of the sightings are terrestrial aircraft, classified military projects or whatever terrestrial objects.

The CIA report also officially acknowledged the existence of Area 51, a US airbase known to house extra-terrestrial technology and alien beings.

Area 51 is located in central Nevada, just 90 miles north of Las Vegas. According to the CIA report, the site was used for testing U-2 spy plane. It was chosen to be the site for the testing after the CIA and Air Force staff did a survey.

After World War II people were more concerned of the flying objects they saw in Area 51 because they did not have an idea of what they were.

Historian at National Museum of the US Air Force, Jeffrey Underwood, said that other UFO sightings turned out to be surveillance balloons in the atmosphere of the Earth.

The U-2 often spotted high above airliners in the 1950s because it can fly more than 70,000 feet. The same with SR-71 Blackbird which can fly more than 80,000 feet, according to the recently released CIA report.

Astrorobonaut Can R 2 Assume Iss Command

Astrorobonaut Can R 2 Assume Iss Command
The humanoid Robonaut-2 (R-2) was powered-up by inside the International Space Station (ISS) on Sept. 1, 2011 but the astronauts and NASA's Mission Control team noted the need to make sensor adjustments prior to "first motion" by mid-month.

AVIATION WEEK notes, "Project engineers plan a continuing series of workouts that in the near term place R2 before a task board in Destiny to assess the machine's effectiveness with a collection of tools. Next, he may take on maintenance duties in the lab, cleaning air flow filters and sanitizing handrails."

The 330-pound humanoid robot is set to begin its life as an astronaut's assistant or, come November is it to become the acting-commander aboard the International Space Station if each of the six humans depart due to lack of human space transports?

R-2 ground controllers say the robot may be able to take on a few mundane chores - like taking air velocity measurements inside the space station - early next year. Plans now call for R-2 to gain space legs in 2013 for subsequent ISS spacewalks.

But can Robonaut-2 deal with a rapid promotion from astronaut-assistant to ISS command? Can NASA programmers speed the development to tend the space station should humans be required to depart in November? Exactly what R-2 is possibily capable to do if there are no humans around? Are NASA and GM considering such a plan? Where are the "failure is not an option" robot engineers?

Lake Tiorati Ufo Sighting In 1966
A week before Christmas in 1966, then 23-year old Vincent and two buddies went to a winter fishing when they spotted something unusual in the sky. In a temperate winter weather in December, they were enjoying fishing in the area along the Hudson River, estimated to be 40 miles north of New York City.

In their eastern side was the Indian Point Nuclear Power Station, and Harriman State Park in their western position. While enjoying their fishing, they noticed something unusual in the sky near Lake Tiorati and Harriman forests.

Vincent describes the aerial object as bronze in color and moving without noise. He adds that the size was around 6 meters in diameter.

Vincent managed to take four pictures of the STRANGE FLYING OBJECT that night. Later, the Project Blue Book representatives from U.S. Air Force investigated the UFO sighting report and quickly considered the sighting photos as part of a hoax.

The National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) also conducted a study about the sighting by examining the photos and interviewing the three witnesses. Investigators from NICAP found no trace of any hoax.

Aztec Prepares For 60Th Anniversary Of Ufo Symposium Friday

Aztec Prepares For 60Th Anniversary Of Ufo Symposium Friday

By Debra Mayeux

The Daily Times

3-25-08


AZTEC - The tall tale has it that 60 years ago this month, a UFO crashed in Hart Canyon, north of Aztec. Supposedly there were charred alien bodies aboard the craft, which was knocked out of the sky by a radar beam.

The Aztec Library began telling this story 11 years ago to raise money for a new building. With the story came national attention and the start of an annual UFO symposium.

The Aztec UFO Symposium opens Friday with a speakers meet-and-greet dinner. It will continue Saturday with internationally known speakers and vendors at the Aztec Masonic Lodge, 1020 N. Aztec Blvd.

The symposium began humbly with the work of Leanne Hathcock, librarian, and Scott Ramsey, a UFO investigator from North Carolina. Ramsey became a patron and assisted in finding reputable speakers.

"We've always been blessed with really good speakers, but this year is really exceptional," Ramsey said.

Since first reading about the March 1948 crash in a book, Ramsey has requested sealed documents, interviewed witnesses and worked on his own manuscript with the help of his wife, Suzanne Ninos, formerly of Farmington. The couple will present recent findings on the crash at the symposium.

"I always come to give new updates on Aztec," he said.

One of those updates includes interviews with friends and relatives of the late Rev. Autrey Brown, of the Mancos Baptist Church. Ramsey recently was contacted by a couple who knew Brown and his story of contact with military personnel after the reported crash of a saucer in Aztec.

"He called his closest friends together and talked about the commotion on Hart Canyon Road. He said he saw the craft, the bodies, and he was there when the military swore them to secrecy," Ramsey said.

Ramsey receives e-mails each week and follows up on the leads.

He recently received 268 documents from the FBI. Those were papers he previously was told did not exist. "They withheld 123 documents in the interest of national security," Ramsey said.

Other speakers include internationally known ufologist Stanton Friedman; Jesse Marcel Jr., whose father was one of the military officers at the purported Roswell crash; Timothy Good, of England, speaking on military intelligence and UFOs; Ted Phillips, a top investigator of physical trace evidence around UFOs; James Carrion, director of the International Mutual UFO Network; Duane Tudahl, producer of the History Channel's "UFO Files"; and Ken Storch, a law enforcement officer.

"The reason (the symposium remains successful) is we stick to our guns and bring in qualified scientific speakers," Ramsey said.

Friedman is a member of the scientific community, a nuclear physicist by profession. He believes interstellar travel is possible at the speed of light and that it doesn't take as long as some scientists say. He argues that the scientific community allows the government to hide the truth about space flight, flying saucers and extraterrestrials.

This will be the topic of his lecture and new book, "Flying Saucers and Science," published by New Page Books.

"The book is sort of my magnum opus," Friedman said. "I take off on the SETI movement. I call it Silly Effort to Investigate.'"

He will talk about press coverage of UFO sightings and opinion polls surrounding UFOs and life on other planets, which Friedman insists exists. In classrooms and at lectures, Friedman said "typically 10 percent of people think they saw a UFO, but very few report them."

Friedman said he is not a "closet ufologist," and most people do take him seriously.

"I've had 11 hecklers in 700 lectures," he said.

The meet-and-greet dinner Friday is 15 a person. Entrance to the two-day symposium is 30 per person or 20 for students and seniors. The police, military, firefighters and EMTs receive free admission.

Alien Abduction At Buff Ledge Camp In Vermont

Alien Abduction At Buff Ledge Camp In Vermont

8-7-1968

Buff Ledge Camp in Vermont would be the site of a visitation by four UFOs which would appear, make revolutionary aerial maneuvers, and alter the lives of at least two young people. Buff Ledge was a girls camp located north of Burlington on Lake Champlain. During their tenure as summer camp employees, Michael Lapp, a sixteen year old maintenance man, and 19 year old water ski instructor Janet Cornell were relaxing at a boat dock on a slack day. On this particular August afternoon, the swim team had a made a trip to Burlington to compete in a meet, and the camp was virtually deserted. Late in the afternoon, the two friends were enjoying the view of the sun setting over the water, when a bright light appeared in the darkening sky.

At first, Michael thought they were being treated to a beautiful, close up view of the planet Venus. All of a sudden, the glowing light began to move downward, and ever closer to Michael and Janet. The object, at first a round glow, now began to flatten out as it came even closer. Michael shouted, "Wow! Venus is falling." As the two steadfastly watched the light, three smaller lights seemed to drop from the larger one, which quickly moved up and disappeared from sight. The three smaller objects began to move over the lake. They were obviously under intelligent control. The objects put on a show for Michael and Janet, doing zigzag maneuvers, loops, and then descended like falling leaves. The three objects now moved even closer to the two baffled teenagers. After forming a triangle, two of the objects pulled back. Michael would later recall a sound "like a thousand tuning forks" when the two left the third craft alone. The one remaining UFO passed over Michael and Janet, then shot upward and momentarily disappeared. It very soon reappeared, tilted to one side, and dropped into the lake. A couple of minutes seemed to pass before the object reemerged from the water, and began gliding straight toward them! The object was now close enough to see a transparent dome occupied by two childlike creatures. Michael would describe the beings as having elongated necks, big heads, and no hair. Their eyes were also large, and extended around the side of their heads. Michael began to sense a kind of mental communication with the two beings. Watching them intently, Michael slapped his knee, and to his surprise, one of the occupants mimicked his movement.

The craft now moved directly overhead, and shot a beam at Michael and Janet. Grabbing Janet's shoulder, Michael pulled both of them on their backs on the dock. Suddenly, Michael was overcome with the fear of being kidnapped. He remembers screaming, "We don't want to go!" The light from the beam was so bright that Michael recalls being able to see the bones in his hand, like an X-ray. The two teenagers both later related that the beam had a "liquid" feeling to it, and gave them the sense of free floating. Their next conscious thoughts would be that of staring at the object again from the dock. The sky was now totally black, and Michael wondered how long he had been in this one spot. Looking at Janet, he could see that she was in a trancelike state; drowsy and disoriented. They now heard the welcome sounds of the swim team returning from their meet in Burlington. The UFO now moved upward into the black sky, flashed its light beam repeatedly, and then vanished from sight. NOTE: The above image is a rendering

Flying Ray Shaped Cryptid Richmond Indiana

Flying Ray Shaped Cryptid Richmond Indiana
ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE RECEIVED AN EYEWITNESS SIGHTING REPORT OF A FLYING RAY-SHAPED CRYPTID. ARE THESE FLESH AND BLOOD CREATURES...OR SOME TYPE OF BIO-ENGINEERED UFO? THIS IS STILL A VERY BIZARRE PHENOMENON:

This is very hard for me to publicly write about. It was so, so strange and I have only told a few people because they just think you are crazy - when you tell them you 'saw a sting ray fly over the street from one bunch of trees to another.' I mean we are in Indiana - nowhere near the ocean for one thing but even if we lived by the ocean, why would a sting ray fly into trees?

Anyway, this is what I saw on my way to work one early fall morning around 6:30am - still not all the way light out but light enough, plus there are street lights up and down the way I drive to work. I am coming up to a 4 way stop, no cars around so I go. I am looking downhill kind of, following the street and seeing no cars. I kind of glance up a bit and see this huge sting ray looking thing fly from one side of the street, kind of like out of a group of trees and going over the street into another group of tree tops! I was astonished is the only word I can think of to described it - never had much of a reason to use that word but that sums it up! I was like OMG! OMG! Well I started praying Lord what was that? It was so weird. I felt like I wanted to cry. I was kind of afraid, many emotions ran through me after the initial astonishment. I kept asking myself did I really see what I just saw, over and over all the way to work. I kept thinking 'ok - did that just happen?!?!'

Well for days I could not stop thinking about it so I told a couple of people and they don't believe me - I know. Well I started to look at pictures on the internet to see what I might compare it to and I come across this huge Manta Ray picture and underneath it says "Devil Ray!' SO then I look up on the internet some things about demonic creatures slash sting rays and I come up with this whole bunch of stuff about water spirits so that is what I really think it was. For one brief moment I saw a demonic water spirit that has the form of a sting ray. Our town has been known to give people the feeling of a demonic hold or something and now I believe it. This town has all kinds of problems and if you look up these water spirits you can see what they bring. Anyway - that's what I saw and now I am seeing you have others that have seen the same thing. This makes me so happy that I am not CRAZY! Have you seen the strange creature in the tsunami video? I think that is the same thing! Thank you for posting these sightings. TS

I contacted the witness and received more information:


The location was in Richmond, IN between S 16th & E Streets and S 12th & E Streets overhead. I was driving west on E Street.

It was grayish (shark-like) gray on top and whiter on the bottom, but it looked just like a giant sting ray gliding over the street. We lived in Florida for years and there are a lot of petting places that have star fish, sharks, turtles and sting rays so I have seen these things up close. It is hard to explain but you know how the edges of a sting ray like wave as it glides through water, well the edges of it were doing the same thing but through the air. I barely saw the long tail thing from the back as I was watching the edges of it wave and glide.

There is a river (East Fork - Whitewater River) - if you continue down E street west you would run in to it. Which would be S 1st Street. I go over the bridge to my work

NOTE: THE AREA OF THE SIGHTING IS A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES ON A TWO-LANE ROAD. THE WITNESS' DESCRIPTION MIRRORED THAT OF AN ACTUAL MANTA RAY...WITH VERY LITTLE DEVIATION. IT'S UNUSUAL FOR ONE OF THESE CRYPTIDS TO BE SEEN IN POPULATED LOCATION...BUT I TRULY FEEL THE WITNESS OBSERVED WHAT SHE DESCRIBED. LON

Earth Twin Planet Will Be Found By The End Of The Year Leading Astronomer Says

The first Earth-like planet outside the solar system will have been discovered by the end of the year, one of the world's leading astronomers said yesterday.

Professor Michel Mayor, the scientist in charge of the team who detected the first extrasolar planet in 1995, claimed that the chance of finding a planet that is habitable for humans is now imminent.

The astronomer, of Geneva University, said that recent technological progress that allows the observation of planets outside the solar system now makes the prospect of locating a planet of a similar make-up to Earth extremely likely.

Twin Earth: Professor Michel Mayor said yesterday that the chance of finding a planet outside the solar system that is habitable for humans is now imminent

Professor Mayor said that Nasa's Kepler spacecraft is likely to be the first to locate the ideal planet to sustain human life because it is carrying the largest telescope to ever have been sent beyond the Earth's orbit.

The telescope, which is in orbit around the Sun, is monitoring more than 100,000 stars every half hour and is focused on a star field in the Orion spiral arm of the Milky Way.

Professor Mayor said that Nasa's Kepler spacecraft is likely to be the first to locate the ideal planet to sustain human life because it is carrying the largest telescope to ever have been sent beyond the Earth's orbit

More than 400 extrasolar planets - or exoplanets - that orbit stars similar to the Sun have been discovered in the last 15 years, Professor Mayor told the conference.

Phoenix Lightsthe Massive Ufo Flyover Of Arizona March 13 1997 12Th Years Of Retrospect

By Mike Fortson

(c) 2-4-09

As we near the 12 anniversary of what is commonly and erroneously labeled the Phoenix Lights, in retrospect it's difficult to believe so much time has passed; it seems as if it were only a couple of years ago that my wife and I witnessed the "Massive V-Shaped Craft" from our then home in Chandler Arizona; for almost 4400 days that image has been seared into my mind's eye. I still vividly remember the entire sighting, which occurred at 8:30 pm MST. I've been told on many occasions that over time, thoughts and memories fade and total recall starts to diminish. Well, not this one!

I still give thanks almost daily for being allowed the opportunity to view with my own eyes one of the greatest UFO sightings in history. We (my wife and I) were at the perfect angle at the right time and place to have the opportunity of a lifetime. Being able to witness a mile-long "alien craft," from which I believe comes from another dimension, has been by far the greatest visual experience of my 55 years of life on earth.

I'm not writing this to sway public opinion or change anyone's mind. I am writing this to express gratitude for what I was a part of and to publicly say, "Thank you Lord" for allowing me to see this for myself; something that we have been told all of our lives "does not exist!"

I first came forward on Saturday morning March 15, 1997, in a phone call to Mr. Walter Andress of MUFON in Sequin, Texas; from that point on I haven't stopped talking about this life-changing experience. I have met and shared our encounter with hundreds of other "eight o'clock witnesses" and the database is overwhelming as to the scope and magnitude of the event throughout the great state of Arizona. What was once thought of as a mere set of lights beginning near Kingman, is now known to be much larger in scale with multiple mile long V shaped objects, a massive 2 mile-wide triangle and a mile wide disc (and that's not all).

Not just one set of lights by a long shot!

It's a fact that the listening and viewing public have been lied to from the very beginning! Without a doubt the real story has never been told. This is what motivated me to write, The Non-Investigation of the Phoenix Lights. I have known from my very first interviews that the media (producers) do not care if the truth is ever told. They wish to sanitize the story so it is more believable (accepted) by the public. In other words; they change or don't report all the facts; thus, they lie to you. Because they feel that sometimes the truth is much too strong for the sheeple and the truth needs to be altered so we can sleep tonight without worrying about something we have no control of. Sickening, isn't it?

Concerning the Phoenix Lights case: "they" changed the facts and continually show the 10 PM flare videos (there are 6 of them) while interviewing the eight o'clock witnesses. This deception is a huge slap in the face to the witnesses of the "actual craft," and a total lie to any who read or watched the events and testimonies of The Massive UFO Flyover of Arizona, March 13, 1997. All one has to do is ask a non-witness about the Phoenix Lights sightings on March 13, 1997, and most will say, "Oh, yeah they were flares!" The eight o'clock witnesses just shake their heads left to right in frustration. The diversion has succeeded and the truth will probably never be told as minds have already been made up.

So, I ask myself, "What can I do?" Does anyone other than the witnesses really care? Does anyone know about or care about the MSTI-3 satellite that was disabled early on March 13th 1997? Does anyone care about the witnesses who watched in awe at 5:30 pm near Crown King, AZ., as 3 massive V shaped craft in daylight pancaked on top of each other"; then turned into a white ball of light and vanished as 2 fighter jets approached from the south? Does anyone care that the 8:16 pm MST witnesses in Paulden, AZ., included retired US Army Major named Lyle Vann, not a retired police officer as was written in summaries and books? Does anyone care about being "historically correct" as much as we possibly can? I do!

Does anyone care that drivers on I-17, I-10, US60 and many other highways and roads throughout the state pulled over and got out of their vehicles to watch in disbelief what was passing in their field of vision? Does anyone care if a little league game came to a halt as a massive craft silently passed overhead? And does anyone care if a police search and rescue team practicing in the north valley witnessed the same thing and the helicopter pilot absolutely refused to go up and check it out? What about the airborne flight instructor from Embry-Riddle? As he looked down he assumed there was a power outage, only to become aware of the massive V shaped craft passing under him; in his own words he stated, "I thought he was going to die!" Does anyone care? Does anyone care about the retired airline captain who claimed he could land his 737 on the wing of the massive V shaped craft? Again, does anyone really care?

I mean, after all it was just flares, right?

Throughout the past twelve years, I've looked back and realized just how lucky I've been. I mean I've done 2 episodes of Strange Universe, 2 documentaries for stations in Tokyo, Japan; I've also been privileged to do dozens of television interviews and at least 60 radio interviews. I was invited to do the Leeza Gibbons show, as well. How often does one get to fly to Los Angeles, get a limo ride to Paramount Studios, have your name on your door, a catered private lunch and get to meet Leeza! Wow! Well, I did. It was very cool indeed and one of the best times I've had.

I have for the most part always been open to share my experience-again without requiring compensation. There have been a few witnesses and or investigators who've penned books and or produced DVDs etc; however, making a buck hasn't been a precedence for me.

I did an interview with Dr Lynne Kitei for her book and DVD. Actually, I'm a large part of the video she sells and my 8:30 sighting is told in great detail. I do appreciate her for allowing me to do that. She asked me dozens of questions and allowed my views of March 13, 1997 to be told in my own words. I do not agree with her on her 10 PM video as UFO; rather I pretty much agree that those 10 pm videos are more than likely flares, intentionally ignited at high altitude (17,000') to create a diversion to take away attention from the earlier events of the massive crafts.

The strangest part of my association with Dr Lynne took place at a MUFON meeting in Mesa, AZ a couple months ago; she approached me and said, "I'm also an eight o'clock witness to the massive V shaped craft! I just never came forward because I didn't take any pictures!" What? So, for the last 11.5 years why have you been focused on the 10 pm video you shot, trying to divorce it from the other flare footage and claming it was of an authentic UFO? Most agree that the 10 pm videos are in fact flares, so now you claim to be an eight o'clock witness as well? Are you kidding me? And for the past 11.5 years with all your interviews, television and radio shows-you never made this claim! Now you are a witness to the large craft?

Does anyone else find this peculiar? Very early on, the majority of eight o'clock hour witnesses became cognizant of the disparity between the "large craft" cruising "low and slow," opposed to the distant lights up and beyond the Estrellas; to say that people were adamant about their "craft sighting," in contrast to flares would be an understatement! Dr. Lynne has fought tooth and nail for her "10:00 video" to be disassociated with flares-never during this time has she given any inkling that she observed the "craft" in the eight o'clock hour! I find this new revelation very curious to be polite.

One part of the March 13th massive statewide sightings that never really gets examined is the official statements made by the USAF and government pertaining to the events; they did not claim that the dropping of flares were responsible for the "earlier events" (eight o'clock hour). Instead what was said was this, "at no point in time was there a threat to the security of the United States". Thus, my interpretation would be that since there was no threat, then it (the UFOs) would be considered a friendly. The FOIA from Luke AFB did not call the earlier events as planes, flares, blimps, balloons, or any other man made objects. Instead the FOIA reports the USAF as calling the "objects" as unusual aerial sightings. They also report that no Luke AFB craft were involved in the "phenomena" reported on the night of 13 Mar 97.

Since our sighting nearly twelve years ago, my wife and I have become very good sky watchers. We have spent many hundreds of hours watching the skies for a return visit, hoping this time to get "it" (or them) on film. I really feel that what we got to see that night might be considered a "once in a lifetime" sighting and we have accepted that as a possibility. However, whenever outside no matter what the length of time might be, I am always aware of my surroundings and I still take a moment to scan the skies.

So, in closing I wish to say something from my heart, "I do not believe in UFOs or aliens-I know "they exist!"

This astonishing UFO Sighting Report comes from Wetumpka (USA). This Encounter happened 03.06.2013.

"Went to the local store at 9:43 p.m. and returned home at 9:59 p.m. I pulled in my driveway which put me facing West when a "pop" of light caught my attention just coming into view over our residence. At first I didnt pay it much attention and went inside and settled my things, taking about 15 minutes I guess. For some reason it was nagging at me to go back outside and just look up. Odd considering the temperature was around 37 degrees! As I walked out onto our porch facing East, there it was. Kind of pulsating/strobing just above the treetops across from us. I watched it for a minute or so and knew I needed to get the Sony HandyCam ASAP! After acquiring the Camcorder I began filming the object just kind of waver around the screen. The object had become an "Orb" looking shape now. I filmed this for around 20-25 minutes observing that the sky was FULL of twinkling stars and NO clouds but, on my LCD screen of the recorder all I could observe was the object in question which made me believe that it was pretty close. Upon realizing this I adjusted my recorder to 800X Digital Zoom and began reshooting the object. I also noticed that now there were more than just the one in the sky. 3 to my knowledge but it was more difficult to get them on film. I briefly had one other zoomed in screen but it quickly moved off to avoid me it seemed. The footage I captured is astounding. Ive seen many videos taken over the years of Unidentified Flying Objects but, nothing to this effect. It should also be stated that many times while filming my hearing was affected with a high pitched ringing tone and throughout the encounter I felt very safe and curiously enough very loved."

Why Ufo Secrecy And A High Level Of Security Classification
I was confused for a extended time, regarding UFO secrecy, I mean why is it classified to be Above Top Secret, with a amount of category high then atomic bomb tips. I can see why a few of the secrecy exists, with regards to developing new military aircraft plus additional these craft, because is required for nationwide safety factors.

But because I became more plus more aware which the UFO - Alien enigma, was actually a satanic plus demonic program, it became obvious why the amount of secrecy was thus significant. The key objective of the UFO - plus Alien planners which are inside the 'Know' of the program, learn which this really is a battle for the souls of all mankind.

There are 2 primary kinds of military personnel or groups which are associated with all the UFO Phenomena, 1 group is those which are inside the thus called 'Know', these are the best brass which are correspondence 1 about 1 with all the fallen angels, themselves plus understand what the true UFO plus Alien schedule is about. These men, or girls, are guaranteed plus provided earthly desires like military powers, cash, plus many different gratuity for their service to these demonic forces. These guys or ladies might very possibly be murdered or have their families kidnapped or worse when they revealed the true UFO schedule to the public. The fallen angels plus demons masquerading because aliens, recognize which this schedule is a main element of the 'Great Deception' against Christians plus Jesus Christ, plus they might do anything they will to create their plans come about.

What is sad to me, is this really is another cause I believe Jesus states inside the Holy Bible, inside Mark 8:36 - 'For what shall it profit a guy, when he shall gain the entire globe, plus lose his own soul?', I ask anybody whom is within the 'Know' regarding the UFO plus Alien Agenda, to read which small passage over plus over, plus consider it.

The time all of us wear this Earth is quite brief, is a several years of earthly fun, value an eternity inside Hell. Why serve built beings, whenever you are able to serve the glorious Creator, plus be found on the winning side, remember Satan plus his forces have absolutely lost, their fate is sealed, don't create yours the same fate.

Another group is those which believe they are functioning together with real aliens from other world, plus they can keep quiet considering they are provided development, for their element of the service. This high ranking classified kind of function, additionally gets energy, revenue, etc. To revel this so-called alien development to the public, might cause a dishonorable discharge within the military, losing ones pension or retirement funds, plus very potentially lengthy prison sentences, or worse.

I believe the leading source or program for the UFO - Alien secrecy category originates from Satan plus his fallen angels, as well as the demons, then it filters right down to the best leaders, plus military commanders, plus then those associated inside the hidden, or black-operations because they are called. The government controls the media, thus it's not difficult to matter a disinformation campaign against those which report ufo accounts, incredibly whenever the government will pull or cancel a tv stations license.

The veil of silence, secrecy, disinformation plus ridicule is gradually being removed, because more plus more UFO's are appearing all over the world. This really is considering the planet is gradually becoming brainwashed into thinking which UFO's plus Aliens are real, because you are being visited by real extraterrestrial beings from another world. When the mainstream of human awareness becomes attuned to the alien (demonic) schedule, there is a worldwide UFO event or unveiling, that I believe is the 'Great Deception; which Jesus talked about inside the Holy Bible.

There is a website which has info about angels, fallen angels, ufos, secret groups, aliens, alien abductions, NWO, 1 globe government, and more, the website is called: The Great Deception, plus is found at this url: http://www.great-deception.com
