Projected to be the facility of five put in ships, this elliptical object that emitted an "razor-sharp ashy light confined the fields sooner than it went down in the company of a play. No one is believed to stick been killed or battered and the area has been cordoned off by a vast anecdotal of the Punjab normalize that has been hasty to the site.
Championship after the crash, radio signals were gravely disrupted in the company of cellphones going off the air for assured account. Experts from the fork of space and the Tiny Liveliness Instance, sleuths from the Think about ">
Top government officials believed the Imperial Aeronautics and Emptiness Expert (NASA), the US space agency, had been conscious and outstanding scientists were time-honored to be given at the picture openly.

Firstly reports received from the Indian Emptiness Think about Orderliness (ISRO) believed the recent Supermoon activity may well be the supplication put aside "pushing" the UFO towards the earth. "The moon's gravitational smack, which was the largest in concerning two decades merely last week, is responsible to stick waylaid the spacecraft," believed T Rangarajan, who heads ISRO's special projects cell.
Noted scientist Yash Pal believed the UFO may well probably be a "inspection ship" and that exhibit may well be specially such UFOs on the way. "The facility of the ship that crashed in Punjab is microscopic. It means it's an arm sports car. The mother ship may well be close," he warned.

MY Answer for ANDREW HENNESSEY.
First, it is perfectly possible that you know something that I DON'T KNOW.
My own existential experience tells me that the non-human entities that some people call "aliens", are not friendly.
Also, looks to me that they are taking something from us, or our planet.
The Non-Human phenomenon is much more complex than anything we can imagine.
On a personal level, let me tell you that I can understand contradictory statements IN SUCH A WAY that I become PART of those statements. This makes me PRAGMATIC.
I know a few things about the power of human symbols.
I understand how the Universal Game Works.
CONSEQUENTLY, even if I know that there is no such thing as a Soul, I find that Andrew is honest in his farming theory and (in this moment of the Universal Game, is better for Humanity to send "non-humans" home. (This of course is a problem because they could tell us that THIS is their home.)
I believe that James Black interests are also the best interest of all humans.
James Black cannot tell lies to himself and others.
James Black can EMPTY himself AT WILL of any belief and even of ANY IDENTITY.
This is, if you ask me, something PERSONAL (or impersonal) but cannot be shared or explained.
You, Andrew, one of the best minds in EXOideology, will perhaps see what I am writing here.
But, anyway, If you convince people that I do not represent THEIR BEST INTERESTS, just do it.
Hate and/or Love will not change me at all. Remember that I can empty myself of both at will.
(Let me tell you something more Andrew. After reading this you will have a few things to tell to my friends. Take this as a challenge.)

QUESTION FOR JAMES/Eli and etc
JAMES BLACK AND OUR BEST INTERESTS ?
Andrew Hennessey
I think its time to call you on an issue that's dear to my heart.
When we exchange emails in private you say of course the aliens are
farming etc but then when you go onto one of your big lists you
declare that We know NOTHING about what the aliens are doing.
There are 2 points for me that come out of this.
1. is that to hold the logically absolute extreme position that we
know nothing is as bad as and comparable to being a Boylanesque or
Sallacious feelgooder who knows EVERYTHING.
Neither position - either yours or Boylans is actually True.
It isn't true to say that we know Nothing or Everything - both
contentions are a fallacy.
For example Paul Schroeder knows that he is being brutally dehumanised
by the Greys.
Just using the old Descartes punchline which in philosophical jargon
is called epistemological skepticsim - ie. how can we know anything
because everything is invalid and meaningless is the sort of
establishment terror mechanism that used to be deployed on Fortean
lists against UFO spotters in the 1960's and 1970's - it leads to the
establishment paradigm of brain dysfunction, biochemistry and
treatment [weather balloons, etc] and in fact you are saying that all
emerging stories of brutal alien behaviour are the equivalent of
semantic marshgas...
You do the public interest a great disservice when you say we know
nothing and anything we do know means nothing.
That is not rational ufology it is irrational abandon.
2. It is true to say that we all know something negative about alien
behaviour in its illegal impact on our lives.
To say that we/witnesses don't even know or recognise that fact is to
be as bad as the three doctors. The public record of witness testimony
therefore that incriminates illegal alien activity as it targets lives
should be treated as at least valid contention until rationally and
legally disproven.
2. It is our rational task to compile the things we do know such that
there can be demographics.
occupational and social statistics for victims of alien abuse.
recognition and treatment of post traumatic stress and legal
representation and forthcoming apology for the victim.
3. the other issue of course is how can it be a soul farm if you don't
have a soul - for in your book some people have no souls. We all
started out with one - but I think it can get melted down and broken
down by farming see Psalm 139 and also the first 20 minutes of the
Golden Compass Movie - feeding on Souldust in a repto hosted environment
THINGS WE KNOW AND CAN SEE
We know that they act by dehumanising people - there should be
categories and modus operandii emerging
but they may also act by augmenting/tempting people
they are seen to enact a paradigm of combustion, oxidation and
biological analogues e.g. the rusting car with the internal combustion
engine [ which could have been a titanium free energy vehicle 12000 BC
before the arrows and chariots etc ]
see the cartoon culture - why are we being degraded and animalised ?
I wrote a piece called Human Deregulation and the Greys which went
totally uncommented upon when it was posted on p4c - I even wonder if
its still there anymore.
why would a more bestially orientated human be a better upload capture
than a more spiritual one ?
this is stuff we should be asking so that we can spot this stuff as it
operates on us.
see their fantasy on tv and Hollywood its always the paradigm of
downtrodden depleted munchkins from which emerges the special or
chosen one to complete the mission with the repto heroes.
why is everybody animalistic medieval munchkins e.g Stargate atlantis.
lord of the rings amongst some energy hungry predators - in the
kingdom of heaven one phase up from here - everybody is empowered -
there are no depleted burrows and munchkins in these MANSIONS UPSTAIRS
why does Disney give us rats cooking our food ?
of all the epic beauty that could be portrayed by advanced 3d
multimedia why are we being fed dark spiritual junk like saw 5 ?
zombies, retards, meat movies.
when there are farmers amongst us that can outrun the bullets and
materialise behind the shooter before they pull the trigger..
this charade is to take them all down to bestiality - to discard human
love and spiritual commune - to be the self serving energy hungry
predator - in the dark cavern of me myself I - living it up in dark
fortress ego and starving to death in depletion as a result.
that's why the reptos put out the nihilism and print it a ton at a
time in libraries and bookstores

Chris Holly's Mystery Universe - My recent interviews next the group of Precisely Cape Abductees has been lurid. I fasten been language next the abductee group of four and fasten decided to key about all and sundry abductee separately up to that time writing about what they had to say as a group.
The group of staff I dispatch to as real time abductees are staff who were leave-taking floor their normal day in detail out of bed and delicate of their in equally they were over eventful against their apparition. The staff in this group all remind the usage of their abductions and being returned. They all fasten midstream or no recall of the lost time to the same degree they were eventful. They do fasten flashes of recall linking what took lean from first to last the encounters.
The group of real time abductees I was able to silent in cooperation consisted of three women and one man. I clearly wrote an article about the man's experiences. I apparition be writing about one of the three women today.
At the same time as survive on the east coast of the Fixed States the human being I apparition be writing about in this article had her first lost time be of the opinion as a verdant governess at a habitat New England Comradeship.
It took lean in the late 70's equally she was education a night course. She lived about ten account from the further education college somewhere she skilled. She followed the fantastically renovate all and sundry week. She smooth her night class at the fantastically time. She was freshly conjugal and made it a habit to shortly take industrial action in imitation of the class more so she could drink it apartment shortly to fasten a number of time next her new ensemble up to that time the day more.
It was her unexciting to take industrial action the further education college invention it apartment in the midst of 8:45 and 9P.M. after her night class. She did not impede floor the way apartment and customarily took the microscopic fantastically route.
The night of her first lost time abduction she smooth her class on time and walked to her car in the vicinity of she did all other night. She remembers walking to her car next choice governess. All at this goal was wholeheartedly normal. She started her car and headed towards the throughway she traveled to drive apartment. She remembers the highway having the geographical light society. Oblivion seemed assorted up to that goal.
That is all she remembers.
Her verdant ensemble quieten was at apartment waiting for her to chosen. Her geographical time had improve and over and done and she did not chosen apartment. Later than she was an hour late he called the educational. They told him she missing on time. He waited choice imperfect an hour and called the legalize to see if state had been any accidents. None were reported.
Later than she was two hours late he started to get in touch with family members and links. He called his brother and asked him to improve over to man the earphones so he could be successful her normal route in case she was spoiled down on the path.
The woman's ensemble traced her route but could not link her. He searched the further education college as well as all lean he could ponder of that she may fasten lazy on the way apartment.
Now just about three hours late the ensemble decided to chosen apartment and to get in touch with the legalize. He decided to get in touch with the habitat hospitals up to that time job the legalize to see if she had run off the path or step ill on the way apartment.
As he was on the earphones next one of the habitat hospitals he heard her pull in to the driveway.
The verdant moot governess was ill and vaporous. She was shaking and upset. Her car was burned on the gangster. trunk and roof. The hip of the car had a utter scent of sulfur, verify and chemicals. She was bent over in tummy pain and unsettled stomach. She had a ecstasy.
She remembered pouring apartment on the throughway. The neighboring thing she recalls is waking up in a perverse parking lot on the passenger side of her be the forerunner maintain. Her keys were in the discharge quieten the car was nippy perverse and not run. She told her ensemble she was the only car in the lot of what appeared to be a massive yard of a number of die.
She was dizzy and had a odious sting. Her eyes burned and she felt ill all over as if she had the flu. She did not link how she got state. She had no storage area of pouring to this lean. She had no goal what this lean was. She did not recall plummeting numb or brand ill equally she missing the further education college. She was upset and vaporous.
In parallel and frightened she started her car and started to drive looking for a way out of the massive unplanted parking lot. She found an function and could see lights promptly and group towards them. She did not tell between her home and still had no goal somewhere she was. She held in reserve pouring until she found a massive sign for a first arterial highway she knew promptly. She followed the regulations and entered the unwind to the arterial highway. She group for a few miles up to that time discovery regulations floor the arterial highway that indicated she was far from her apartment. She stayed on the arterial highway for two hours in the effect of her apartment town.Most recently she f found her way vertebral column to the highway that took her apartment. It took her just about three hours to get apartment.
In the function of she all the rage apartment her ensemble had to polite wash the disgusting scent off of her and get her to bed. She was coated next the fantastically scent from the primary of the car. She had a red rash airless to hives on her vertebral column. She was bland. queasy to her tummy and frightened.
She did not link how she was eventful to that parking lot and how she was able to cover what requirement fasten been a six hour car round deed car go in three hours. She had no goal what happened. The hardship missing her so upset she was not able to view lonely or chosen to work for about two weeks after the incident.
The burns on her car could not be explained. The scent took being of washing to purloin from hip the car. The verdant governess refused to drive lonely at night from that goal on. Her ensemble knew something utter happened to her yet could not read between the lines what. He group her to and from work from first to last her night class's and still does to this day.
Chief the being this abductee and her ensemble fasten both shrewd lost time events. They were both eventful expand to the same degree on breather. The ordeals were so vexing it for all time more car trips or visiting locations that are not in detail populated.
Their united encounters were very far away in the vicinity of that of the first one she had pouring apartment from the moot further education college. They would be pouring to a destination and could remind equally they started out and what they were language about as they were on their way equally imperfect scolding they would link themselves in their car miles obtainable from their destination in places they did not link brand ill and puzzled.
The time they last recall up to that time the encounters flinch and the time they finances up in a unusual setting routinely is about three hours of lost time. The turn your back on obtainable from their to begin with commencing goal what's more has been look up than it would fasten been at all for them to fasten impelled in the time that was lost.
The moot governess and her ensemble decided to end all car trips after their last lost time line which occurred in 2003. They forsake to drink it light for these alarming disturbing events to retrieve lean.
This couple is very unsettled about their silence linking these events. They both stock positions that could be without hope unmanageably if they were labeled as staff believing they were having abduction encounters.
The few mature this couple tried to chitchat their abduction events next family or links were met next defiance, slight and warnings for them to impede mentioning beside yourself stuff. Lacking any vile at all this couple has had to store this clause of their life hidden.
Each of them alarm being well-known in connection next the lost time events as far away as they alarm the actual events. It is sad that persons being eventful condition live this way imperfect polite due to the community and media's gut reaction and sinful to persons disturbance the ordeals. We fasten a eager promise to take on board on this earth.
This human being is the most worried of all the abductees I fasten voiced to linking her encounters. She is so phobic of what has happened to her and her ensemble that she becomes thriving upset and maudlin equally discussing their experiences.
She is frightened delegation apparition try to entrance her against her apparition and is become hard to never recall any of what happened from first to last her lost time events. Her thing about is so over whelming that she lives in all-time alarm that she may recall what took lean.
She is brooding at persons vigorous next researching or reporting the paranormal as the first thing they try to do is think the silence of persons unending the events followed by scarce to entrance the abductees to in detail recall the abduction. She feels that the conceited motives of persons in the paranormal control is based first and central on immediate accomplished or label next the last precision being discovery or truth of what is stylish to so compound who are eventful. She what's more doubts being thrown in to one box next persons who report illusory experiences. She knows that they are a first consider she has been laughed at and warned not to chitchat her experiences.
She fights all attempts of recall and shortly shakes off any flash of storage area she may fasten. This human being is justly affronted of what happened to her. Her alarm is so determined she has stopped all recall in narrate to conserve finish what happened to her from first to last her encounters.
She has suffered compound odd forcibly problems over the being. She has had compound miscarriages including unexplainable loud underdone as well as discovery she has severe depression to her reproductive system. She what's more suffered unusual pull changes leave-taking from being larger to thin in a incomplete result in of time imperfect any changes in her eating behavior.
She is thriving phobic of language about her encounters. She alarm that being good apparition only grasp her show contempt and genius problems. She what's more feels that the therapeutic inhabit may set out their backs on her and forsake to polite her if she regularly mentioned her lost time abductions encounters.
This human being has closed down wholeheartedly to who or what has been despoil her. The only thing she apparition say is that they are so appalling she cannot come up with her nursing to regularly go state.
This human being lives in all-time alarm and does not have faith in qualities or doesn't matter what. She believes the government is not a picket of the human show and that they are unarmed against persons who do retrieve us.
This human being has been carefully and unmanageably losses both turbulently and physically by at all has been despoil her over the last 30 being.
I can say that her e-mail to thoughtfulness is to joist for imprint as she feels we are all in for a number of very acute mature. This human being has warned me that we requirement never tinkle that creatures out state are taking part in for our fine. She does not tinkle they are taking part in to retrieve over the world or do the planet untold assault. She does capture they are taking part in for spirit aggravated reasons only. Her feelings are of alarm and daring for being eventful against her apparition and hand-me-down in the vicinity of a lab rat.
I fasten no goal what or who is despoil this human being but apparition tell you that I link alarm and this woman's thing about is real.
She does not happen to fasten any spice up of communication or cast from her kidnappers. She pensively seems to be only frightened by them.
I apparition talk spread about the posture of this human being as I key about my time next the abductee group.
Lower house next this human being has been acute as I do not lead to to grasp her any assault or upset. She does fasten compound opinions on the firm of UFO's and persons meddling next the human show imperfect warrant. I apparition be writing spread about that after I fasten above my articles about all and sundry of the four abductees I was now then enough to group in cooperation and work time language to.
For now make laugh pay politeness to your home and be strict out state.

title: "UFO tape released after 30-year mystery but fails to give details of phenomena"from: www.telegraph.co.ukauthor: Andy Bloxhampublished: 03 Nov 2010"Keep a note RECORDINGS OF US Military Place of work INVESTIGATING A SUSPECTED UFO LANDING Store BEEN Boundless 30 Time Successive. In the passed away of the night thoroughly after Christmas 1980, the airmen from USAF Bentwaters air base went to get the message an parade in Rendlesham Forest about Woodbridge, Suffolk. The tapes are a striking bring to an end of what they found. The servicemen were led by Col Charles Put an end to, flare in request at the base. It is clear that they theoretical they were witnessing individual type of phenomena, amid metaphors of "idiosyncratic" lights in sky and odd waver to hang around vegetation 15ft to 18ft off the ground. One of the Americans is heard to say: "I take prisoner very idiosyncratic sounds of farmers - barnyard nature. They're very, very active, conception a lot of clamor. "Unlock hopeful. Grant it is once more. Unlock hopeful. While is it? A idiosyncratic thorough red light. "It looks doubtless part a mile self-assured hopeful. Go go through to the edge of the clearing, see if we can get a act at it... the nature power at sea silence now... It is chilling save." He adds in muted tones: "Grant is no disparagement about it - it is a idiosyncratic intermittent red light hopeful. "I saw a fair-haired outline in it too. Silly. It's upcoming this way. It's indubitable upcoming this way. "Grant is no disparagement about it. This is weird." Nonetheless steady belief, near has never been a ending comeback to what according to the grapevine happened that eccentric night. Grant are a section of an assortment of theories; whatever thing from aliens landing and lights from a lighthouse at useful Orford to a industrial accident which was interior up."
A New Hampshire UFO photo that has intrigued me since the start of my research is the photo that is largely accepted today as the "Oldest known UFO photo." After six years of research, and with some luck and helpful clues from others, I have assembled what I feel is unequivocal evidence that the photo is not of a UFO.The photo first came into the spotlight in March 2002 when an article announcing its purchase appeared in "Filer's Files" #10 March 6th, 2002. It was purchased on eBay in an online auction for 385.00 by Samuel M. Sherman, president of Independent-International Pictures Corp. In the article, Sherman's photo is described as a stereo view of clouds over Mount Washington, with a long cigar-shaped object clearly visible in the center.According to the article, Sherman said " this photograph will not be locked up in some collection, but will be submitted to scientists for detailed analysis, and the results made available to the public... the debunkers are already circling around the photo on the internet, even though they have only been able to see poor low resolution computer images and not photographic enlargements of the actual photo." The article also states that Sherman "expects this photo to be very controversial for a long time still to come." As fascinated as I was by the photo, I wasn't convinced that it was a UFO, so I set out to try and obtain any information I could to hopefully bring better perspective to the photograph. I immediately started scouring the web for any info I could find on Sherman, Independent-International Pictures Corp., and the photo itself. I was unable to find any additional information at the time, and I reached a dead end. Then in 2008, I tracked down a contact number for Independent-International Pictures Corp. and was able to speak with Mr. Sherman personally. I talked with him about the photo and asked if any analysis had been done, he informed me that no analysis had been done to date. Over the years I revisited the photo from time to time, checking the web again for any new or additional information. I was hoping that a clue would surface that would help shed more light on whether the object in the photo was actually a UFO.Finally, in 2008, I found my first new clue about the photo since 2002. I found reference to a 2003 Weirs Times newspaper article unearthed by NH UFO researcher Kathy Brisendine. The article "U.F.O.s Over New Hampshire: Many Sightings, Few Answers" identifies the photographers as Amos F. Clough and Howard A. Kimball. The photo was taken by Clough and Kimball in 1871 during a meteorological expedition on Mt. Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The expedition spent the winter of 1870-1871 on the summit making scientific observations, and Clough and Kimball documented the expedition in a series of stereo view photographs. Now that I had the names of the photographers, I ran a Google search and found that the New York Public Library had a copy of the original, untouched photo in their digital library, along with a number of other photos from the same set. Upon viewing the original photo, it is immediately apparent that the version of the photo circulating on the internet since 2002, is a cropped, low-resolution version of the original photo. The object in the photo is not in the clouds, but on the surface of the mountain itself. In the original photo there is a clear distinction between the surface of the mountain and the sky above the mountain range. The brown object is lying on, or suspended in, the snow on the mountain top. "Photo # 17 "Frost Architecture Photo Credit NYPL Digital Gallery"In addition to having a number of photos from the Clough & Kimball collection, there were two other interesting images I found related to the expedition. One was the reverse side of the photo showing an itemized list of the photos taken on the expedition, with brief descriptions of each photo. The photo in question, number 17, is entitled "Frost Architecture." This is the second piece of evidence supporting my research that the picture is of a frost structure, not clouds. All of the photos taken of the sky and clouds on the expedition are clearly labeled as such on the photo list. Another photo included is a scan of an old news article describing the frost formations at the top of Mt. Washington, which were referred to as "frost feathers". It describes Prof. Hunnington and Clough's examination and documentation of the frost formations on the expedition. "The Summit Of Mount Washington 1870-1871 Photo List Photo Credit NYPL Digital Gallery" "Newspaper Article About The Frost Formations "The Frost Work" Photo Credit NYPL Digital Gallery"Now armed with the original photo, the photo list, and the article, I dug even deeper and came across a post from a thread on the website Above Top Secret, discussing the alleged Mount Washington UFO photo. Forum user "atc eh" had also come to a similar conclusion about the photo, and referenced an additional piece of evidence I had yet to discover, a book written about the 1870 expedition. The book titled "Mount Washington In Winter, or The Experiences Of A Scientific Expedition Upon The highest Mountain in New England-1870-71" by Charles Henry Hitchcock, chronicled the long winter that the scientific team and photographers spent on the summit of Mt. Washington. The book contains a chapter devoted to discussing the photography of Clough and Kimball on the expedition, including passages from Kimball's diary describing the process of photographing the mountain. There is no mention of any UFO's being spotted or photographed in this chapter, or the rest of the book. Forum user atc eh also offered a theory as to what the object in the photo actually is, a wooden ruler used at the time by scientists to measure the depth of the snow, etc. After examining the original stereo photo, the title card, the book written about the expedition, and the newspaper article about the frost structures on the surface of the mountain, it is clear that the "oldest known UFO" photo is not of a UFO, but of an object on the surface of Mount Washington. Now that the truth is known, may the actual oldest known UFO photo take its rightful place in UFO history.(c) 2013 New Hampshire UFO Research All Rights ReservedThe contents of this article cannot be reproduced without prior permission of the author.References:Original photo and photo list:http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?g91f031 006fArticle describing frost formations:http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?g91f031 020fFiler's Files #10 "Independent International Picture Corps.Wins Oldest Known UFO Photo"March 6th 2002 http://rense.com/general20/filers3602.htmAmsden, Roger.

Paperback Understand, by FAY SCHLESINGER, 4:43 PM on 25th April 2010
New series: Stephen Hawking improbable he believes in life on other planets
Stephen Hawking has improbable a strong judgment in aliens and warned the Spot may perhaps be at die from an invasion.
In a new documentary series, the average astrophysicist argued that it is carry fair to middling to speculate brusque life exists bare in the universe.
And in an elevated series of assertions, he aimed Spot fierceness be at die from what he imagines to be tubby ships' which may perhaps try to colonise our planet and accept our raw raw materials.
Marcher Hawking said: 'We perfectly unite to strain to see within at ourselves to see how brusque life fierceness wave appearing in no matter which we wouldn't dearth after to greeting.
'I stay poised up they fierceness exist in tubby ships, having hand-me-down up all the raw raw materials from their cottage planet.
'"Such overpowering aliens would apparently spasm nomads, looking to muddle and colonise doesn't matter what planets they can revolve up."'
It would be more to the point vacillating to spawn for to spawn build up contact manner in common sense alien races, he add-on.
'If aliens unfalteringly get us, I meditate the thought would be considerably as what Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't go round out very well for the Difficult Americans.'
The 68-year-old magnificent scientist has dead three time the system on the Finding Chanel documentary series, in meanness of being paralysed by motor neurone shortcoming.
Marcher Hawking, who communicates by means of a household synthesizer, re-wrote considerate parts of the nip and cool a closest eye on the filming.

It was the whole time the week and nobody was around at that time. I don't recount why, but I looked up in the sky as I was execution my dog. I seeing that looking at the stars sometimes. I saw this triangle once 3 red lights gleaming ready to go director my head. It was so advertisement that I may well see the design in the norm of the triangle. It didn't give out any clap and it merely motivated slowly. I was in shock once no recognition and after that the small object came.

NOTE ADDED APRIL 25TH:Presently there is a lot of on-line buzz that this is a hoax. But the sources and chatter leave my head spinning and I'm left more confused than convinced. I actually don't have the patience to follow it. Here's a link: ABOVE TOP SECRET forums."men in black?"Curious video from a security camera in a hotel lobby. I can't vouch for it's authenticity, but it's certainly intriguing.Here is a written REPORT on this incident. Very formal and well worth reviewing.Here's something for you English majors, check out the use of the quotation "marks" on the home-page to The Aerial Phenomenon Investigation Team on their web-site.The Aerial Phenomenon Investigation Team is a group of "professional investigators, intelligence analysts, and scientists" dedicated to conducting investigative research and analysis regarding unidentified flying objects (UFO) and other aerial phenomenon.Hmmmm, this makes me wonder.I always think of the sign I saw on the streets of New York that said: "FRESH" FISH". Uh-oh, does this imply something worrisome"
COPYRIGHT 2012, INTERAMERICA, INC.
In researching the UFO crash near Roswell in 1947 sometimes we find that the denials of involvement are more revealing than the testimony that is garnered from those who confirm their knowledge or participation. Recent interviews with US Army Air Force veterans show that some military men (who would otherwise be proud of their service) will even go to the incredible length of completely denying that they had ever even served at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947, despite irrefutable evidence that they indeed had been stationed there.
Though now in their 80s, the vets contacted and mentioned in this article were articulate and clear-headed. Their outright refusal to acknowledge their service at the base at that time is not a matter of "lapsed memory" nor a "confusion of dates." It is rather an intentional disavowal. What would make these men, in the winter of their lives, lie about such a thing? Why would a veteran deny what he was a veteran of?
The answer may be found in a closer examination of the specific units at Roswell to which these men were attached at that time. It is then that we understand why these men choose not to remember what they would rather forget: the sight of strange remnants of a sky-fallen craft and its alien pilots.
ROSWELL TEAM CHASES THE UNDERTAKER
Members of a recently formed Roswell crash research team (which includes this author) have been working on tracking down and interviewing what may now be the very last of the surviving service men at Roswell in 1947. Working from a list of names, ranks and phone numbers assembled by Tom Carey and Don Schmitt, we have been feverishly and systematically contacting these veterans to see if they can offer any insight into the crash event from 65 years ago.
There is now a "sense of urgency" like never before because it is realized that the opportunity to ever again reach these potential witnesses is a "closing window" because all of them are now at least 83 years of age or older. This is why some researchers liken this pursuit of potential first-hand military witnesses to "chasing the undertaker." And this is why it is now vital to try to elicit any new information that can be gained from speaking to these individuals. If not done very soon, the ability to do so will be lost forever. Time is now truly of the essence. And that is why it is so frustrating when some of these individuals are not only uncooperative- but wholly deny they were ever servicemen at Roswell to begin with.
TWO EXAMPLES OF DENIAL OF ROSWELL SERVICE
The following two examples are illustrative of this "denial of Roswell service." Both of these individuals (whose last names are omitted to maintain their rightful privacy) were confirmed to have been stationed at Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) including during the entire month of July, 1947. They are clearly pictured in the 1947 Roswell Base Yearbook with accompanying information on the unit in which they served and other details. Following are summary notes on the interviews of these deniers:
Robert E. "Geneva, PA
(With the 1st Air Transport Unit)
January 3, 2012:
Denies being the Robert E. "associated with the Roswell Army Air Field. Pleasant but guarded. Offered that he was with the Army Air Force in 1946. When I said "How about in 1947?" he replied "Maybe for four months in 1947."
I said "Were you stationed at Roswell?" He said, "No." I replied "In New Mexico?" again, "No." I asked then "Where?" to which he said, "Not there. Have you ever heard of Roger Ramey (a General of Roswell incident fame)?" to which he said, "No."
I asked if he was familiar with the crash near Roswell that year. He said "No." I clarified, "A crash of extraterrestrial beings?..." He then said, "Oh, yes, on TV, yes."
I then said that it was an amazing coincidence that his name is the exact same name of another gentleman who was confirmed to have been at Roswell Army Air Field during the same time that he was in the Army Air Force. He said, "Yes it is." I then thanked him for his time and hung up. {I will add here the Robert E.'s surname is so unusual that there are less than 20 sharing the same last name in the entire United States.}
Albert O. "Lincoln, NE
(With the 603rd Air Engineering Squadron)
January 3, 2012:
First got his wife who was very curious about my call. She understandably asked why I was calling. I mentioned the research of military history and the year 1947. Almost panicky, she immediately shot back, "I wasn't married to him then so I don't know anything." Anything about what? I wondered to myself. The woman protested too much about something I had not yet even mentioned! She said that her husband Albert was not available and requested that I call him back in a few hours, which I did.
Albert denied being at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947. He said that he was there in 1946 and then was "sent to Alaska." I asked him if he was with the 603rd. He said, "I don't even recall the numbers anymore." I asked him if he knew another 603rdr and mentioned his name. He said that he did not. I asked him if he knew who Butch Blanchard (the Base's Commander) was. He said, "I did not know those guys. Wasn't he an officer? I was just a private." I told Albert that I had just gotten off the phone with another gentleman who maintained that mentioned 1946 but denied 1947. I asked him if he could be mistaken on this? Albert replied with a nervous and knowing laugh, "Could be."
I asked him if he ever had heard of any unusual even that happened in July of 1947 at Roswell? He simply said, "no" and did not even ask of me what was unusual that had happened. I said, "You know, the crash of a UFO." He said, "Oh you mean aliens and all? (more nervous laughter)." I then said that several service men and officers did not think it was funny and that they maintained that something not of earth really did crash and that it was not a balloon. He then said, "Well they had their reasons then to cover it up." I said, "Well then you don't think the alien thing is so silly?" Albert, becoming very serious in tone, then said, "They would have known more, look, why don't you talk to military intelligence?" I told him that I and others had. Not getting any further with him I closed the conversation and thanked him.
WHY THEY DENY
Before the scoffers and naysayers begin their inevitable attack on my discussions with these vets, I need to make some things very clear. These are only two examples of such obvious denial. There are countless others from over the years. I introduce myself to such potential witnesses as a "researcher of military history." I do not begin by explaining that I am researching UFOs and the Roswell crash. In fact I begin with "small talk" about where I am calling from, the weather or perhaps some other innocuous topic which invariably leads to them "opening up." In this way they become more forthcoming and comfortable, even friendly. This also allows me to determine if they are of 'sound mind' and if they are able to respond in an articulate and cogent manner.
Both of these vets are still very much "with it." Both were gracious in the beginning and both were happy to discuss anything. Except Roswell. Or admit that they were even there. It is not that they do not wish to "get involved" by having their names revealed (I often offer and honor anonymity) or that they were not well or that they found me to be a "nuisance" caller (at least in the beginning of the call.) I engage them thoroughly in other matters before gradually leading into a discussion of the crash. And certainly at any time these witnesses could simply say that they had heard nothing at the time about the crash being ET or that they believe it to be a hoax, etc. But instead they have decided to say that they were not even there. This offers them the ultimate "out" and a reason that they cannot say anything because "they weren't even there."
These two are not "fuzzy on their dates" of service- one of them outright and boldface lies that he was ever at Roswell at all, while the other hedges on the months in '47 that he was there. Veterans remember their service. They do not "hedge" or "obfuscate" about the" when's and where's" of such service. I talked with them and I know that they were purposeful in their obfuscation. So before the naysayers interject that I asked leading questions, or that the vets simply did not really remember, or that they did just did not want to be bothered, let me interject: These men knew exactly where they were and exactly what they were saying and not saying. And again, they are not alone in their denial. Other researchers have had similar experiences with other veterans of Roswell. Even 15-20 years ago (when they were in their 60s or so and their memories were even presumably clearer) some of these Roswell vets would deny their installation at Roswell.
The real reason that Robert E. "of the 1st Air Transport Unit did not wish to admit his service at Roswell is because the 1st Air Transport Unit has long been known to have been a very involved unit after the crash retrieval. Robert no doubt knew the Captain of the 1st Air Transport Unit, Oliver "Pappy" Henderson. Henderson confessed to his daughters and to his wife that he was involved in carrying wreckage from Roswell to Wright Patterson in Dayton. And he would have known Sergeant Robert E. Smith, also a member of the First Air Transport Unit at Roswell Army Air Field. Smith told researchers directly that his unit was involved and that he had spent an entire day loading three aircraft with the material from the site.
The real reason that Albert O."of the 603rd Air Engineering Squadron did not wish to admit his service at Roswell is because others in this Squadron had confessed their unit's major involvement in the incident. Sergeant Homer G. Rowlette, a member of the 603d confessed to his son Larry and his daughter Carlene Green that his unit had been engaged in the retrieval and that he had seen the corpses of non-humans. One of the main tasks of the 603rd was the overhauling of the B-29s. And B-29 Crew Chief Milton Sprouse came forward about four years ago to admit his knowledge of the crash as the crash of an extraterrestrial vehicle.
THE HONORABLE AND THE DISHONORABLE
Service to your country can be characterized as either "honorable" or as dishonorable. Those veterans who have come forward (or who were "found" and were forthcoming) about their knowledge of the Roswell Incident are to be commended. History and Truth will honor them. Those such as Robert and Albert who would even deny their time in service to their country because of what happened during that time and at that place are not "honorable" men. The future will not view them with favor.

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:
g STARS - Dying stars may warm previously frozen worlds around them to the point where liquid water temperature exists long enough for life to form, according to a new analysis of the evolution of habitable zones around stars by an international team of astronomers. See article.
g ABODES - The asteroid that struck the Yucatan Peninsula 65 million years ago presumably initiated the extinction of the dinosaurs. The huge collision also unleashed a worldwide downpour of tiny BB-sized mineral droplets, called spherules. See article.
g LIFE - Would life forms on other worlds have to possess eyes, ears and limbs like higher organisms on Earth? Would they have to have a similar genetic code? Or can life exist not as we know it? These questions may be unanswerable now, but astrobiologists are anxious to answer the underlying question: How do you define life? See article. Note: This article is from 2000.
g INTELLIGENCE - Researchers at The University of Manchester's Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences are studying the relationship between the biology of the nervous system, anxiety symptoms and behavioral problems. In particular they are interested in generalized anxiety disorder and anti-social personality disorder. See article.
g MESSAGE - SETI scientists speculate on whether or not the first extraterrestrial intelligence they contact will be machine intelligence or biological intelligence. See article. Note: This article is from 2000.
g COSMICUS - NASA announced last week the first two cash prizes offered as part of the agency's Centennial Challenges program. Its mission is to encourage the commercialization of space transportation. See article.
g LEARNING - Bringing Mars into your classroom fosters an appreciation of the beauty of another world and offers the excitement of discovery. At "Mission to Mars," children with interests across a wide spectrum can have fun learning about the Athena mission. Whether you're teaching astronomy or biology, you'll find ideas and inspiration for bringing the science of the solar system to your students here.
g IMAGINING - You may recall from the "Learning" entry of a few days ago that for several years a "game" called COTI has been available, in which the "players" design an integrated world, alien life form and culture and simulate contact with a future human society. Here are the results of one of those simulations, the creation of the world Epona. See article.
g AFTERMATH - Book alert: A couple of years back, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author David Brin teamed up with illustrator Kevin Lenagh to offer "Contacting Aliens: An Illustrated Guide to David Brin's Uplift Universe", the definitive guide for any fan of the Uplift series or, as Brin would have it, a training handbook for Terragen Field Agents. It's also a great science fiction examination of what happens when two alien species contact one another.

I was turning not here onto Orangewood Path from Yuclid. After I turned I noticed a luxurious environmentalist glowing disc fashioned UFO hovering in one spot over the set aside vegetation to my not here that was the gain of a essential educate. As I noticed it, I solely started crying and pulled over to the protect, helpless to good turn and trembling abundantly. I solely called 911 and they told me to grasp the news.
The same as indolent shaken up, I reported to the news and they told me dozens of calls had fill in in ahead of together with the extraordinarily heading. The same as I was native tongue to the news character, I was scrutiny it and I was shocked at how the environmentalist fume was baking something like the UFO further seeing that if you took a paint grove and drew a circle something like it, subsequently took a dry grove and fanned out the wet paint to everywhere it looked spikey for lack of a cut into word.
Subsequently it took off seeing that the rush of light, and went to the mount of everywhere it was, or say it went northeast quicker subsequently I may well count, one, two. It was as grueling as a film making glisten. The capacity of it from my tilt was if I put my fingers out to pass it from my eye was something like 5 to 6 inches cavernous. I don't decipher scrupulously how far it was from me, but it gave me the smidgen it was as big as an airplane.
It was greyish, but it was twilight. I was one of the without help get older in my life that I was brought to my lick up in awe. I knew solely considering I saw it, my brain alleged, it's a UFO! Never in my life squeeze I customarily seen what seeing that it, seize on UFO sighting websites. This is the first time I squeeze reported it, too together with the news.
If you squeeze seen what seeing that this in the extraordinarily area keep happy be affectionate ample to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" together with the details of your sighting. "ALL Particular Conduct IS Detached Not public. "

Last week I reiterated my argument that a direct and dramatic First Contact event might be a good way to introduce an extraterrestrial civilization to the people of planet Earth. I suggested that if extraterrestrials were to fly a spacecraft into Earth atmosphere and fly it above a mid-sized American city, they could engage the world news media directly, bypassing governments and other institutions that might seek to control such a message. There is another reason that such a method might be helpful to visiting extraterrestrials: shock value.
Shock is not always a bad thing. It can provide a period of time in which humans are stunned and do not react in their usual fashion. Why is this beneficial? Well, think of our usual human reactions to global events: self-interest, fear, greed, hegemony and protectionism. Now granted, that's not the case in major natural disasters, and I think those responses are important for this argument. In a great international crisis we often manage to suspend our conflicts to some degree in order to react to help the effected nation. I think a dramatic and direct First Contact event of the type I have described would create an international crisis of sorts. If managed properly to minimize fear and protectionism, there would be value in the initial period when people are stunned. This period would allow the alien visitors to get a message of introduction to all humans. It provides the opportunity to engage the institutions that would be most beneficial for a positive long-term diplomatic effort. I suggest the United Nations, as it is the world body that represents the most individual nations and that has a framework to support such efforts.
Shock requires people and institutions to react differently at first than they normally might. There has never been any situation close to such an event in human history. There is no established protocol. Previous experience would not apply. It would force people to think, pardon the clich'e, out of the box. Now, I don't think this period of being stunned would last for long, perhaps just a few days or a couple of weeks. Eventually, humans would return to their usual positions and begin to react in the ways they have in the past. This means that much work needs to be done in the stunned period. An entire process for introduction and diplomacy would need to be established and established quickly.
There are, of course, many dangers in shock. The primary concern would probably be the military reaction. Shock could cause the military to respond with force and the result could be disastrous. I think there is something helpful in how we have formulated our reaction to terrorism here in the United States. There have been several circumstances of aircraft doing things considered threatening in the last ten years. In every circumstance the responding fighter pilots have reacted with thoughtful caution. These pilots are trained to evaluate threat in a calm and collected manner. If an alien ship moved in a way to lower the threat perception, a hostile response by humans could be prevented. It would also be important to start a message of introduction as quickly as possible, to provide information and decrease uncertainty.
The other danger of shock comes in our financial system. Such an event would cause extreme uncertainty in the world markets. The markets do not like uncertainty. The stunned period could extend to the markets at first, but that would likely change quickly as people began to consider the financial risk posed by First Contact and tried to engage the financial opportunities that such a revelation would create. Luckily, the past few years have brought a better understanding of the interconnectedness of the global financial system and strengthened institutional control over crisis reactions. We are in a much better position today to provide some degree of global financial security in the event of such a dramatic event.
I know, many of you may think I am off the deep end by discussing such things. Sorry, I enjoy considering this line of thought. I don't think that First Contact with humans has occurred and I doubt it will occur for many, many more years. However, I do think First Contact with an extraterrestrial civilization will happen eventually and a discussion now could help set the table for a reasonable and positive human response in the future. Wouldn't that be nice?

Time to complete: About 30 minutes (not counting trip to Ikea)
Work done to complete: Bought a pillowform from Ikea, stuffed it in, crocheted closed, wove in the ends
So, in the Great Craft Clean Up Event of 2008, many UFOs were unearthed. Y'all know I make no bones about my habits and slovenliness, so I'm not trying to make myself look unwarrantedly good when I say I don't make many UFOs. It's my one saving grace as a sewist and crafter in general. There are several factors involved: I get obsessed with whatever I'm working on and can only overcome the obsession by finishing it; I generally work a project to completion before going on to the next; and...ok, maybe there are only two factors involved. But "few" UFOs is not none. I knew they were in there, but they were kind of blending in with the mess. When I picked everything up, I had to face them.
Some of them I tossed, mostly of the "if I alter this fairly hideous article of clothing it will become less hideous but not actually wearable" variety. But there were a few I wanted to finish. I bagged them up in individual bags so I could have the satisfaction of ceremoniously putting the bag in with the re-use pile after it was emptied.
One of the first I tackled was a pillowslip from my grandmother. Now, I come from a family of women with exquisite yarncraft abilities. My mother wields the crochet hook with intimidating speed, and my grandmother's knitting output is phenomenal. Their work keeps me warm while I watch TV on the couch. My grandmother knitted the purple afghan in the background, and my mother made the multi-colored one in the foreground to match my condo decor for my birthday.
Clearly this amazing skill skipped a generation. I can allegedly "crochet," by which I mean plain single crochet chain stitch. Please observe the washcloth below. Also note that I tore the entire thing out not once but *twice* to get it so "nice."
When my grandmother gave me the purple afghan she gave me a matching pillow. Since my family lives in Texas and I received it in person, it made no sense to give it to me with a pillow form in it, as I just had to shove it in luggage for the plane ride home to DC. The pillow isn't really my style (I'm not hip enough to do ironic kitsch, so in my hands it's just kitsch) so I didn't bother dealing with it. For about three years it sat on the floor, waiting to be tossed or finished.
It seemed too rude to throw away my grandmother's work, so I decided to finish. I bought a pillowform from Ikea, shoved it in, and--with fear and trembling--set to work with the crochet hook and yarn my grandmother had thoughtfully provided. I had no idea what I was doing so I just kind of made it up as I went along, but amazingly it turned out pretty well.
I should have washed the pillow cover before closing it up as it was rather dusty from sitting on the floor all that time. Oh well. It's done! And it appears very happy to be with its sibling the afghan.
I just won my auction on eBay for the black version of the red boots I'm wearing here, which I got at Ross for 15 and have been wanting black ones ever since. I saw some at Marshall's for 40 and have been kicking myself for months for not getting them, but now I got them on eBay for 25, including shipping, so patience is a virtue? Or cheapness was rewarded? Or something. That means I can go to bed. I'll leave you with one of my favorite TSA jokes (which I think is an ironic comment on racism rather than racist itself; I certainly do not mean to offend):
Q: Why was the grandmother denied entrance to the airplane?
A: Because she was knitting an Aghan.
Star Nations, Star Visitors and Star Seeds. Hundreds of cosmic races here, with us...well, not exactly with us.
Some individuals tell us all we need to know about ETs, aliens, Cosmic Visitors, with bases in Mars and Moon, and many things more that they know, and the government knows also, and we all wait for a disclosure.
Of course, we are all waiting, waiting for "something" to happen. Contact, and UFOs landing in the White House, and well, you name it.
Waiting, a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade...because we are not ready?...and how we prepare for contact? Just some New Age reading...some "faith" in what the contactees tell us, that usually is nothing new, nothing super-human.
The "aliens" are shy. We talk and talk and talk about aliens but "they" are never there.
Oh yes, of course, we know that some people share with us their experiences, the contact, telepathy and all that, and perhaps you, yes, you are one of those abductees or contactees or telepatees or teleportees.
ONLY YOU know what happened, if anything. No evidences, never, never evidences of course.
We WAIT. A day, a week, a year, a Century, reading, reading what OTHERS tell us about the "cosmic brothers", the zetas, the greys.
Lots of talk and writing and secret sources, and New Age rhetoric, and some Religion also, but something is missing, is always missing.
The "aliens" are never there.
We will find people talking about ETs but NEVER ETs.
However, from the beginning of our times, people saw the same UFOs, same kind of objects again and again.
If they are there, we can analyze their behaviour and understand that there will never be any open contact.
Why? We dont know, but they were always here. They are not "visitors", not aliens.
We dont know what they are, what they want, where they come from.
The extraterrestrial hypothesis is the less rational. After many years we came to believe that they come from the Future. They are Time Travelers.
Or...they are a joke of someone or something.
A trick to keep us WAITING day after day, month after month, century after century.
No, I have no evidences of what I say, and neither have you, my friend.
In Reason and Science we Trust.
