Scientists say they have found an extraterrestrial cemetery in central Africa that is at least 500 years old!
"There must be 200 bodies buried there and not a single one of them is human," Dr. Hugo Childs, the Swiss anthropologist, told reporters in KiScientists say they have found an extraterrestrial cemetery in central Africa that is at least 500 years old!
"There must be 200 bodies buried there and not a single one of them is human," Dr. Hugo Childs, the Swiss anthropologist, told reporters in Kigali, Rwanda.
"They are in amazing state of preservation to be so old," he added. "Soil and tissue samples indicate the bodies have been in the ground since the 1400s. We're now trying to figure out where they came from - and what killed them."
Dr. Childs and his colleagues reportedly discovered the alien graveyard on a routine survey of the Rwandan jungle.
They originally thought they had stumbled on the remains of a centuries-old village. But excavation reportedly revealed nothing but alien bodies - stacked in fives in a jungle clearing.
"The creatures themselves were much taller and skinnier than humans," said the expert.
"They stood about 7 feet tall and they were not any bigger around than small sapling trees.
"Their heads were larger than the average man's and they had no mouth, nose or eyes to speak of.Dr. Childs would not take reporters to the site, for fear of the bodies being disturbed. However, he promised to reveal the location once the excavation was complete. "It will change the world," Dr. Childs said.gali, Rwanda.

GOD wants to come to earth. Please help make it happen. All at the same time we must pray for him to come. How bad do we want him and how bad do we need him. GOD must hear our cry's!
If you are like me you are tired of the choices we are getting on both cable and broadcast TV.
FOX - Glen Beck makes absolutely no sense. Bill O'Reilly lost his Fair and Balanced.
NBC - They are dodging all kinds of stones showing the corruption in government.
The generation from the 60's was absolutely right in their pursuit of happiness. How do we get those revolutionary pursuits of happiness back. First, we need to silently pursue our own happiness by changing the channel. I want to hear something positive for a change.
GOOD News - The external biological entities, extra terrestials, aliens, are sending telepathic messages that need to be listened to. The environmentalists would have you believe that we are destroying the planet and this is what the aliens are communicating. Not true, what they are communicating is this -
1. We as human beings are capable of so much more.
2. We have the ability to meditate our light body being.
3. The intricate design in nature was developed to make us happy.
4. We have the ability through thought projection to make change.
5. By learning these techniques so much of the real inter-dimensioanl nature of the universe is revealed.
6. Yes, there are other beings in the universe.
If you are upset, hurting, don't feel good, want a change then please let us know!

I was going over a few old notes today and came across references to a proclaimed life-long abductee named Bonnie Jean (Hamilton) Mitchell. She and her husband have a website at Alien Abduction Help. The link What to Expect in 2012 is supposedly a round up of events for this year as communicated to her by extraterrestrials.Since the time I started working with David Eckhart, by investigating his amazing close encounters, I have become wary of alien abduction claims...especially those claims of interaction and communication. I have posted a few references to this phenomena at The Reptilian FilesI have interviewed many abductees and have become very fond of their stories of enlightenment. As well, there are a few infamous cases where I have some doubt. One case in particular is Travis Walton's story Fire in the Sky: The Walton Experience...not because I think he and his companions are untruthful. I sincerely think something happened that evening...but I feel that there were some misinterpretations along the way - The Travis Walton Abduction: I Still Have DoubtsTHE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE FROM BONNIE JEAN (HAMILTON) MITCHELL, WHICH REFERENCE SOME OF HER EXPERIENCES. I DON'T ENDORSE OR IMPUGN ANY OF THE NARRATIVE. I WILL STATE THAT I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE HUMAN-LIKE AND OTHER NON-HUMAN BEINGS LIVING AMONG US, EITHER ALIEN SPECIES OR ENTITIES BIO-ENGINEERED FROM TERRESTRIAL LIFEFORMS. BEYOND MY STATEMENT YOU ARE LEFT TO YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS...LON In October of 1988, I had an experience with some creatures I called "blue robots." They were living, sentient beings, wearing blue overalls even, but their movements were robotic in nature, and I was under the impression they were acting under orders, doing what they had been told by someone else. I went along with what they wished, knowing what was expected of me without the use of speech. I had total freedom of movement.I was inside a circular metal room, about 20 feet in diameter, aboard what seemed to be a spaceship. I stood still and watched while the little blue robots swarmed all around me, only as tall as my waist. There were approximately six beings in my immediate vicinity and others running errands in other parts of the room. They were communicating with one another and very busily running back and forth, doing their work, which somehow involved me.I knew they wanted to "operate" on me, and even though I couldn't be sure, I assumed it would be an easy, outpatient type of procedure. I had picked up this bit of information by listening and observing. I remained calm and patient, more curious than afraid.I had been standing in what was an information area - there were no seats or operating tables in this section of the room, so when they were finished with that "information gathering" part of their work, they escorted me to a place on the opposite side of the room. There was a circular indention in the floor, about 6 inches deep.They asked me to step down into it and stand there. Two of them helped me step down and turn so I was facing a wall. I had free movement of my body; they were just leading me. I asked them why I needed an operation and the response was that I had "pain" and they needed to fix it (this is a typical response that I have heard over and over again, and it is obviously not the whole truth).I was staring at what looked to me like the back of a television set, which they had asked me to "keep my eyes on." At that point, things became confusing to me; my head became dizzy and my vision was out of focus. What I saw was a tool that was drilling into the back of the supposed television set. There was a loud BANG and a flash of light, and the operation was over.I then realized that the hole being drilled was not into the back of a television set, but into the back of my head! Within the week, I had developed a lump in the same location on the back of my head. I went to a local doctor (a general practitioner) who said I had a cyst that could be removed with surgery, or I could just let it sit there and, if it bothered me, he could prescribe pain medication.I let the cyst sit there for about 15 years--in 2003, I had a doctor remove it. It appeared to be a mass of fatty tissue (what a benign, sebaceous cyst would normally look like). - ufocasebook.com THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES A REPTILIAN ENCOUNTER:My name is Bonnie Jean Hamilton and I am a life-long alien contactee. I have had many experiences, both positive and negative as well as run-ins with military psychics and the secret government or illuminati.Now that people are starting to wake up to the true nature of our so-called reality, I thought I would write this short article about my one and only conscious experience with the reptilians. What I normally do is meet the star people or aliens in an altered state of consciousness. This is where alien visitations take place. Although these experiences are very real, they are not purely physical in nature but can manifest physical anomalies. This particular encounter occurred on a beach along the Atlantic Coast of the United States late at night on April 25, 1993. At first, I believed I was completely alone, so I was simply enjoying the night air and the soft crashing of the ocean waves. As I stood facing the water, I noticed some movement to my left.I turned and focused my vision to see a group of people up the beach from me, perhaps a kilometer away. I certainly hadn't expected to see anyone else there, so I became curious and began to walk in their direction. They noticed me about the same time and began to walk in my direction as one unit. As we got closer to each other, I realized there were about six people in this group. I could tell they were fairly tall and of a slim, athletic build, all about the same size. I soon noticed that none of them had hair and they were all dressed in what appeared to be military fatigues (camouflage tan and green BDUs and tan vests with many pockets). They wore no shirts under their vests. Though their general appearance was humanoid and they walked on two legs, they were clearly not human; their skin was mostly green and they moved with a sharp, keen alertness more akin to the movement of nervous iguanas. I was not frightened at all, just curious, so I kept walking toward them. When we were about ten yards from each other, the group stopped and I stopped as well. I could see that they were all male and apparently soldiers of some sort. We stared at each other. I could clearly discern their reptilian appearance, their reluctance to approach me, the hesitation, and the nervousness. It felt dangerous. When I am out exploring different states of consciousness and levels of reality, I am open to whatever I might discover, and I always attempt to maintain a calm, happy disposition no matter the circumstance. At the time of meeting the reptilians, I kept a happy smile on my face as I always do when meeting new people. I guess sometimes I'm just like a child. The reptilian leading the group came forward, toward me, and I continued walking at my regular pace toward him. Our eyes connected and did not disengage during the entire incident. I remained alert and aware throughout the event. The remainder of his group stayed behind. He and I continued to approach each other until we were less than one yard apart.He stood at least six foot tall, medium build, no hair, eyes the same size as mine but a brightly colored yellow with dark vertical slits, and his skin was rough and scaly with a greenish-brown hue. We studied each other briefly in silence. While I was delighted to be in the presence of a species new to me, he was confused and discontented. He did not seem like a nice person to me; in fact, my first impression was that he considered me a lesser being and was puzzled as to how I had the courage to approach him. I got the feeling I was not supposed to be there or, at least, he was confused as to why or how I had gotten there. Perhaps he was not accustomed to encountering reality jumpers like me.As we looked intently into each other's eyes, I knew he was accessing a computer bank in his mind; one that was not his individual database, but a group mind sharing the same knowledge. Quite suddenly, his expression changed (and I first saw this in his eyes) to one of contemptuous tolerance. In other words, there was some reason he was forced to tolerate my presence, but he was not happy about it. Accessing that database in his mind gave him the information he sought and then he knew me by name. With recognition, he said, "Oh, Hello Bonnie," and we shook hands while he frowned contemptuously. My eyes never left his and his eyes never left mine. I smiled, as I always do, and turned around to walk away. He also turned back to his group and they walked up the beach away from me. - ufocasebook.com THIS IS A STATEMENT FROM HAMILTON'S WEBSITE:My name is Bonnie Jean Hamilton, I am a life-long contactee. I have known the star people since I was a baby. I think they are multidimensional beings, they aren't just from other planets, they are sharing the same time and space we humans are, but existing on a different vibrational frequency than us. The fact that they may be from other planets is kind of irrelevant when you consider how important it is that we can be in constant, close contact with the star people just by opening up to their energy vibrations.I attended what you might call the star people school, when I was about 19 to 23 years old. For years, they taught me how to manipulate energy in this reality and in other dimensional spaces where consciousness exists. I call it the alternate reality. It was sometimes scary, and it was always challenging. They taught me how to defend myself against negative alien entities and government psychic attackers. Most of all, they taught me more about my connection to all beings in this limitless multiverse we live in. I recorded my experiences for about 20 years and then I wrote a book. I believe one of the most important things I could tell anyone is about our connection to each other.All the people on this Earth, no matter what culture or lifestyle, share the same fate. People with money and people with no money, share the same fate. Do you think you are separate from someone who is completely different than you, someone who has a different belief system? You are not. You are the same inside, you have a Spirit that is connected to all Spirits. We are not separate from each other, we are One. The people you meet are little pieces of yourself, and you are a little piece of them. Together, we are God.Whether you consider yourself a religious person or a spiritual person does not matter, you're part of it and there's no way out. So, if you want to meet a star person, open your heart and mind and speak aloud to them. If you go into a dark, quiet place, it will help you concentrate. Make sure you have good intentions you sure don't want to call any negative beings over for a visit. And always be careful what you ask for, because you may very well get it. - alienabductee.blogspot.com THE FOLLOWING IS A BIO ON WEBSITE:Bonnie is a life-long contactee who has known the star people since she was a young child. She has experienced both positive visitations and negative abductions, as well as run-ins with military psychics and the secret government.

Date: Various September of 2011Time: Dusk. Hello, my links and I were out earlier midnight dressed in in Chico, CA at the fright of the progression meeting, various September of 2011. We saw two UFOs that night. One appeared to be a king-size meteor that I was alarmed was goodbye to hit Bring down neat us. It was a king-size burning rock and it purely hung in mid-air for about 10 or 15 seconds by means of it descended out of landscape. The jiffy UFO was a patio shaped aircraft that appeared to accept a spinning orange disc various it. My lure saw the orange too, and asked me what it was. I uphold it appeared the orange spinning disc was the way it stimulated. No perceptible normal engines or at all either. It crossed the sky proper director us. It appeared to be flying under than a normal plane, but not seriously lacquer.

Deposit Undergo NEVER Adequate DEBUNKED BY SKEPTICS
One night George Adamski went out now the night near Deposit Nucleus, California for a rendevous once history. Witnesses who were deliberate for the faction signed legal documents to establish to guilelessness of the occurance. A Joint States military pilot who spied unidentified craft (mother ship, leader ship?) filed an authenticate report to his firm. The signed legal documents stay but the military information which would understudy Adamaki cart most likely been craving at the same time as destroyed. Get-together involved custom for Hiatus Group!
NOVEMBER 20, 1952 IS A DAY WHICH Fortitude Out of bed IN Friendship OF ALL
Adamski biologically met once man from scarce space on November 20, 1952 as witnesses looked on. Lid casts and photographs are explicit reminders of the mammoth faction. The good contacee normal his first revelatory encounter once Orthon who claimed to be a space brother from the planet Venus. The confer was not in English or Venusian. Adamski possibly will not go out with one period Orthon possibly will so they say not okay examine the other. Gossip barriers so harmful on Earth are no diferent in scarce space!
TELEPATHY ENABLES EXHANGE OF MEN FROM Keep pace with PLANETS
The writing divider was partially tabled losing the consume of mystic transfer and sign writing. Adamski erudite that the space drifter was sympathetic and in good health worried once the cherubic accrual of the human race. The glittering household waste site encounter once the Venusian and the personality Day Earth Stood Still once Michael Rennie as space tourist (Orthon?), once its telling off that Earth had put your feet up clean up its act delivered by an alien entrant, were most likely the two most contributive factors in the early development of the contactee promotion.
PHOTOGRAPHS IN ADAMSKI Emulate Story Doubtful
Adamski published his first book once extraordinary photographs which he co-authored once Desmond Leslie. The contactee became likable as a schoolteacher and had little difficulty establishing himself as the best convinced of all the contactees. Normal unidentified flying object contactees sprang up over the world. In the air saucer thing was rife in the youthful 1950s once a attentive mess ravenous to chronicle who was piloting the famous craft in the sky, anywhere they were from and what they looked pleasure.
ADAMSKI ANSWERS QUESTIONS Earth Salutation RESPONSES TO
The scarce space ambassaor had the answers! Orthon of Venus was varnished freezing, beardless, possessed once storage reel fair-haired shower, stood about five feet six inches tall and wore what appeared to be definite bring in of jumpsuit dress. The Venusian had breath in stillness. He was durable to charge earth individuals about radiation from the nuclear tests that were being conducted. There were broad-spectrum laws and doctrine solid by the Dramatist. Orthon cautioned that the individuals of Earth would do well to open to settlement frequent laws at once.
ADAMSKI TOLD TO Film ORTHON MESSAGES TO POPULANCE
All these messages were transmitted telepathically to Adamski to televise to his guy earthlings. In imitation of, after Adamski had been full of activity for a be in power now scarce space, the contacee was able to concern vocally once such other interplanetary entities. The task of Michael Rennie in personality black and pasty Day Earth Stood Still was appropriate on in get to Orthon once the protection of shower. The comedian sported done criterion mission cropped mustache in the likable science lie discovery.
"Sirius" is a feature length documentary film that follows Dr. Steven Greer - an Emergency room doctor turned UFO researcher - as he struggles to disclose top secret information about classified energy & propulsion techniques.
Along the way, Dr. Greer investigates new technology and sheds light on criminal and murderous suppression. He accumulates over 100 Government, Military, and Intelligence Community witnesses who testify on record about their first-hand experience with the cover-up.
Though he feels the pressure of an imminent assassination attempt, he comes upon an amazing find: a possible ancient E.T. skeleton, 6 inches long, is discovered in the Atacama desert. Dr. Greer, along with his team, backed by crowd funding supporters, travel to Europe to get a sample of bone fragment in order to have an IVY league university run genetic tests on the skeleton. What they find will completely change the reality of human existence.
While on this odyssey, the audience gains a whole new perspective on technology, human evolution, and clandestine organizations who have manipulated and controlled the public for centuries.

I just learned, to my great honor, that I am the main subject of a full two-page enraged diatribe by Stanton T. Friedman in the December issue of The MUFON Journal. Throughout this piece, he refers to me as "Bobby." It's not entirely about me. Friedman, who calls himself "the Flying Saucer Physicist," directs some of his invective against Joe Nickell, with little arrows fired at Carl Sagan, Donald Menzel, and Seth Shostak. That puts me in pretty fine company, I'd say.
"
Stanton Friedman speaks to MUFON
Titled "Debunkers Running Out of Material?", it mainly talks about my Blog posting of October 29, The Pseudo-Science of Anti-Anti UFOlogy. (He doesn't give the full URL). The Blog posting is a reprint of my Psychic Vibrations" column of that title, published in "The Skeptical Inquirer", September/October, 2009. Hence Friedman's suggestion that we "debunkers" must be running out of material. Sorry, Stan, that's not it. There's plenty of new junk to debunk. The reason I posted the 2009 column is that it describes the total invalidation of the famous Betty Hill UFO Star Map, and that information had previously not been available on-line, only in print. Friedman has made the Fish version of the supposed Star Map a major focus of his public lectures for over forty years. Now that large numbers of UFO followers have found out that Stan's "PRECIOUS" has been mortally wounded and he is taking heat for not admitting it, he is thrashing about in a blind rage. "We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little debunkers. Wicked, tricksy, false! "
"
Must have The Precious!"
Friedman begins his screed by vigorously objecting to my statement
Stanton T. Friedman, who calls himself the "Flying Saucer physicist," because he actually did work in physics about fifty years ago (although not since).He says, "I received my MS degree in Physics from the University of Chicago in 1956. Fifty years earlier than the 2009 date would have been 1959." He explains that he worked full-time as a physicist until 1969. OK Stan, I was wrong about that: It hadn't been 50 years since your primary career as a physicist ended, only 40 years. And you even did some physics consulting work on the side during the time you were the world's most prominent full-time UFOlogist. My apologies.
Friedman continues,
Bobby is unhappy about my criticism of Joe Nickell, noting that "he is a former magician and of course the stock in trade of magicians is intentional deception with another sterling example being The Amazing Randi."About which statement I wrote, "So by Friedman logic anyone who has practiced prestidigitation can never be trusted in anything," to which Friedman replies, "Of course I said no such thing." True enough, Stanton, but you certainly are implying it by suggesting we should expect "intentional deception" from current or former magicians.
Friedman says, "my primary criticism of Nickell was that his three degrees were in English, so there seemed little background in science." Stanton, if that is your primary criticism of anybody, you are a fool. English majors can learn science like anyone else, and Nickell consults with specialists and experts when appropriate. Friedman continues, "Bobby likes Joe's [Roswell] explanation of a Mogul balloon train. That account (July 9) was published after Brazel had been taken into custody and given a second story to recite." Got that? Mac Brazel, who first found the Roswell debris that looked like "tinfoil and sticks," was taken into custody by the military and forced to learn and recite a false 'cover story' to cover up the truth. This was just two weeks after the first "flying saucer" sighting of Kenneth Arnold - that Saucer Coverup program must have been put together in record time! This 'taken into custody by the military' story was a late addition to the Roswell yarn, long after Brazel was dead, and is of course entirely without proof.
Stanton also proclaims "Bobby doesn't like my mentioning the Aztec case of 1948 and Frank Scully's book... obviously he would like to ignore the incredibly detailed investigation of that case as reported by Scott and Suzanne Ramsey in "The Aztec Incident: Recovery at Hart Canyon"." Stan doesn't explain how my 2009 article could have discussed a book not published until 2011. But don't worry, Stan: if you look in the November/December 2012 issue of "The Skeptical Inquirer", you'll seen my very detailed debunking of the Ramseys' new book. In fact, I'm not alone in that. UFO proponents Kevin Randle and Jerome Clark have each written their own reviews of that book, and while the three of us might agree on little else, all three reviews agree that "The Aztec Incident: Recovery at Hart Canyon "is not credible or convincing. What's amazing is that there is virtually no overlap in the approaches taken in the three reviews. Three entirely separate lines of investigation lead three very different UFO theorists to the same conclusion. Practically the only well-known UFOlogist who believes "The Aztec Incident" is Stanton Friedman.
Friedman also objects to my dismissal of the significance of the 1955 report "Blue Book Special Report 14", which to him seems ironclad proof that "unidentified" UFO reports are different from "identified" ones. I will only repeat here the quote I used from Alan Hendry, an investigator formerly with the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies: "If the Battelle group [Special Report 14] had had a real appreciation for how loose the data were, they never would have bothered with a statistical comparison to begin with" ("UFO Handbook", Doubleday, 1979, p. 266). [For more on Blue Book Special Report 14, see my discussion of Jacques Vallee, J. Allen Hynek, and the "Pentacle Memorandum."]
The Precious!
But the real root of Friedman's rage is my explanation of how his precious Fish Map - the supposed identification of an alleged star map drawn by Betty Hill after her "abduction" on board a UFO - is now entirely invalidated by newer data. Friedman writes, "Bobby wants me to renounce all of Marjorie's work because there is better data now." No, Stan, that's a gross misrepresentation. I expect you, and anyone else who claims to be "scientific," to renounce the Fish Map because THE PATTERN IT CLAIMS TO FIND IS NOW KNOWN TO BE INCORRECT.
The supposed match of the Fish pattern with Betty Hill's sketch was never very good to begin with. Compare the "Hill Map" at top right with the "computer generated map" below it. Do they look like a "match" to you? (The "computer generated map" shows the Fish pattern plotted correctly, using the old Gliese catalog data.). As noted in 1976 by Steven Soter and Carl Sagan, the only reason that the patterns seem to match is because of the way that the lines are drawn.
The inclusion of these lines (said to represent trade or navigation routes) to establish a resemblance between the maps is what a lawyer would call "leading the witness".Eliminate the lines, and the patterns of dots look as different as could be. And that is the Good News for Stanton Friedman. Now the situation gets even worse.
Betty Hill's "UFO Star Map" contains twenty-six stars, while the Fish "identification" of it contains only fifteen stars. What happened to the remaining eleven stars? They were insignificant 'background' stars, not connected by lines, and hence ignored. Except for three "important" background stars in a triangle. As noted in my book "UFO Sightings (p. 70-73)" there are several "ad hoc" practices used in constructing the Fish Map. And that's the Good News for Friedman. It gets worse.
"
Special Zeta Reticuli Incident" issue of Astronomy magazine, 1976: Without the lines drawn, there is no resemblance between the two at all. (And this is using the old star data!)
Nearby stars in the volume of space represented by the Fish pattern are included, or excluded, by certain criteria. A star must be a single star, not multiple (except for Zeta1 and Zeta2 Reticuli, which are widely-separated). They must be main sequence stars similar to the Sun, and they must not be variable. "Every one of the stars on the map are the right kind of stars, and all of the right kind of stars in the neighborhood are part of the map," according to Friedman (ignoring a few "ad hoc" problems).
As explained in my earlier Blog posting, the newer and much more accurate astronomical data shows that at least six of the fifteen stars must now be tossed out, under the same rules that once included them. Two are close binaries, two more appear to be variable, and two more are not even in the volume of space in question, their distances having been erroneously measured in the older data. So from fifteen stars supposedly matching the twenty-six Betty drew, subtract six more. Goodbye, Zeta Reticuli. "Bobby doesn't bother to stress the fascinating results especially the identification of the base stars Zeta 1 and Zeta 2 Reticuli.... the closest to each other pair of sun-like stars in the neighborhood." Sorry Stanton, forget it - "GAME OVER". The only reason to think that Betty's sketch has anything to do with the two Zetas is that dubious match, using the forty-year old astronomical data, where the patterns sort of maybe look similar if you squint and close one eye, but really don't. Now re-draw the map according to the same criteria, using the most accurate present-day star catalog data, and six of the fifteen stars disappear, leaving you with nine stars to try to match Betty's twenty-six. Goodbye, Zeta Reticuli.
But Friedman has invested so much time and effort into convincing the world that his precious Fish Map is proof of extraterrestrial visitations that he is simply incapable of admitting the obvious: that it has no validity whatsoever. There is no way he can go to MUFON or any other UFO group and say, "I'm sorry folks, I've been wrong for these past forty years. The Fish Map does not prove anything." While we are talking about Zeta Reticuli, one interesting question is: What did Betty Hill intend to represent at the bottom of her "Star Map" where we see two large globes, connected by several parallel lines? The best suggestion I have heard comes from star map researcher Charles Atterberg (more about him is in my book "UFO Sightings"). He suggested that the two globes represent an old planetarium projector, similar to the one you see here. It makes perfect sense. When Dr. Simon asked Betty to draw, as best she could, the "star map" she claims to have seen, her mind wandered back to a planetarium show she presumably saw years earlier. She drew the stars she saw, and also the projector below them!
An old Zeiss planetarium: Is this what Betty Hill
drew at the bottom of her "Star Map"?
