Wake Up Call

Here's a first draft excerpt I wrote this morning from my Novel in progress 'Freeman's Ocean' which is pertinent for today and contains a little future history as well: A few generations back Stephen Hawking had staunchly ranted about how the species of man faced extinction if we didn't get off this rickety blue planet soon and start colonizing the solar system. Recognized as being a pretty smart guy, his conjecture was believed by some and ignored by all. That was until we were given a little extra incentive of the jump up and take notice kind. Our water planet had managed to absorb most of the small and not so small space rocks that found their way here. Then in 2034 a statistical anomaly occurred with the arrival of an M-type metallic asteroid dubbed 2034 AT7 (later named Ceresta) that chose to ignore the bell curve and slammed at a 47 degree angle into the city of Portsmouth, Virginia killing half of its 120,000 population and, just as an afterthought, took out most of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Forty three seconds later a splintered off chunk hit the Elizabeth River on which Portsmouth sits damming the river up and diverting it over to the city of Norfolk where a good share of the population there drowned in their sleep. Funny thing. Over the next seven years the NASA-ESA budget tripled in size and commercial space faring and experimental rocket research really took off, funded in part by NASA-ESA's swollen coffers. Solar system exploration exploded as well with countless satellites, rovers, and probes of all persuasions sent to the planets and their respective moons. If it had even a remote chance of being populated by us, we headed over there with a vengeance to check things out. The respective governments groaned under the economic repercussions of printing vast amounts of currency but, as they backlashed and began to tighten up the money spigot, the commercial end of exploration showed that they weren't just interested in moving a few of us off planet. They were much more enthused about extraterrestrial resource development which really means finding stuff out there you could sell. The commercial end of things realized at the get go that if you're going to ship people off planet you have to find a way to pay for it. That's why the infrastructure for a space mining industry was built much sooner than anyone had anticipated and the governments breathed a sigh of relief as they found a new mother load source of tax revenue. First on the list were the top five bets for extraterrestrial life - Enceladus, Europa, Mars, Io, and Titan. That last destination may sound a little foolhardy since Titan's temperature would freeze us into popsicles in a heartbeat but the organic compounds and energy resources we could live off of there were ridiculously abundant. So we decided to go anyway. Enceladus and Europa were the top bets with Enceladus being the most likely life bearing body. We didn't forget about Mars and eventually established colonies there. It's just that Enceladus and Europa because of their small size would be the quickest to start populating, particularly with the Higgs mass generators available to make for a smoother adjustment to these small moon's meager gravity wells. Just because Enceladus had life, and possibly self aware life at that, was no deterrent. We'd do what we always did - populate and build relentlessly until we used up all of the bodies resources and then move on. Unless, of course, the resident life found a way to stop us which, from our past experience on Earth, we thought very unlikely. "Now here's the dialog equivalent of the above narrative: Eric said, "You remember reading about how Stephen Hawking used to rant continually about getting our butts off Earth? Sooner or later we'd all get wiped out." "Sure that's history 101. All he got for his troubles was a yawn and a yeah maybe while they looked the other way," Joan said. "Everybody pretty much ignored him, kept their heads down and relied on luck to get them through. Then that asteroid. What was it called, Ceresta I think, hit in 2034 and wiped out Portsmouth in the middle of the night along with a good chunk of Norfolk on the opposite side of the river." "Now that was one hell of a wake up call. The only good thing to come out of that was funding tripled at NASA-ESA and they took off like a rocket," Eric said. "No pun intended. "No pun taken," she said. He looked puzzled for a moment and then laughed. "Must be a cultural thing." She continued on. "The commercial side of space humored NASA-ESA for awhile but they were much more interested in finding ways to move space rocks to sell to people just like themselves. Colonization was just a by product." "That was probably a good thing," Eric said. "It paid back a lot in the long haul, and stopped us all from going broke from all the funny money that was printed to finance the big push." "Good point Eric. Turning over space to private enterprise is the real reason we'll be taking a stroll on Enceladus in a just few minutes." "The dialog version cut out a lot of hot air from the narrative and followed the rule of show don't tell (kind of). But to tell you the truth I liked the narrative version better. Well they always say rules were meant to be broken. I'll probably end up combining the two.

Virginia 1967 The Men And A Ufo

May 2, 2011 - Game in 1967, South Mount, Virgina had a peculiar encounter including an Secret Above ground object. To be added expert, a man named Mountain Crowder had a peculiar encounter including a UFO. His associates Gilbert Tolbert (the Normalize Firstly of South Mount at the time), Billy Murphy (one of the patrolmen), and Robert Harris Sr. (a photographer) were correspondingly attentively on the go including the incident, then again they did not pick up it. Finally Gilbert, Murphy, and Harris reunited to bear in mind about the past.

South Mount standardize officers consider the UFO cue

Crowder had unerringly vanished the office after leave-taking over the books at Battery-operated Chemical Company's plant in South Mount, and was in his car on his way household some time ago he saw the UFO. He described it as a metal convene cistern, twenty feet tall and fifteen feet grown-up, shining as if it wherever prepared of aluminum or whatever thing careful, and as having three legs that propped it up off of the ground. In his recitation of the undergo, he says it stayed in outlook, in presupposition of his car, for at most five seconds. Then huge silver flames shot out from base it, shining and silver intend flashiness bulbs, and it jettisoned demure developing fashionable the sky.

Normalize Firstly Tolbert recalls that he got to the consider at about nine in the dusk, took a turn of phrase to encourage sure no one was take advantage of, and critical to come up a real investigation the neighboring commencement. For instance he came converse the neighboring, a Saturday, it seemed that every person in town knew about the UFO. Communication press came flocking in, and stage Tolbert alleged that he couldn't tell them what had happened a minute ago, he correspondingly alleged that if Crowder alleged he saw whatever thing, he saw whatever thing. Of course, the reduce to ashes identify on the ground added dependability to the fact that whatever thing had happened.

A man named Dr. J Allen Hynek, the best analyst for the Air Force in regards to UFOs, got on the go, and stage he regrettend not being able to enter himself, he sent William T. Powers, an Air Force Chivalrous Investigator, to attitude a turn of phrase at things. Powers took samples and promised to proof investigating.

Harris correspondingly adds that, stage whatever thing actually happened, he suspicions that it on the go Immoderation Terrestrials and was added prone a cheat pulled on Crowder. www.Latest-UFO-Sightings.net (c) 2011

Launch Publishing Garpan

The Garpan opens the year by launching the "Garpan editions" ! After several publications 2014 -- working in parallel to d others most captivating works -- we opted for this avenue to freely distribute our work. Our readers already know that our books are distinguished by the abundance of visual and d color images, which often put off publishers. We know that the public interested in the literature in ufology is marginal, mais heureusement de nos jours le march'e s'en trouve 'elargi par le web et l'achat en ligne.

For the occasion, we have set up a e-shop, which, combined with our site, offre maintenant une des plateformes virtuelles francophones les plus professionnelles sur la sc`ene de l'ufologie civile internationale.

This reorganization will allow us Garpan especially to resume our research and d investigation with renewed calm, gr^ace auquel nous augmenterons la rigueur scientifique de notre d'emarche et la port'ee de nos d'emonstrations bas'ees sur la pr'esentation claire et distincte de faits v'erifi'es.

A home d specialized editions ufology

As home d specialized editions ufology, although we will promote the safe general ufology, and we encourage authors to submit manuscripts ufology if they want to take advantage of our platforms and recognition of the quality of books published in Garpan editions.

Les nouveaut'es de 2015

We announce at least three books for 2015, of which the first is now available (the shipping 19 January) :

1- "THE NEW SCIENCE", THE WILBUR SMITH (trad. Yann Vadnais)

Traduction in'edite de l'"opus magnum" the Wilbur Smith, the pioneer ufology in Canada. In this little-known work (even specialists in ufology), we find the central ideas that have animated Smith during searches of "Project Magnet", this famous project government UFO study conducted on behalf of the Canadian Department of Transport, of 1950 `a 1954.

It will mainly present the results he achieved this by combining scientific knowledge with the data obtained, firstly, UFO sightings by witnesses and the evidence associated (signature radar, ground traces, photos), and, other, contacted by six groups, avec lesquels il avait r'ealis'e une 'etude sp'ecifique.

This book is distinguished by its conceptual approach and scientific reflection on realities within the vector geometry and mathematics, the physics of particles and atoms, electric and magnetic fields, Finally, quantum physics. Strangely, Wilbert Smith talks to spell topics that he announces : for example by heading the third section of his "treaty" : "The principles and technology of other species (Advanced) >>. Without naming them explicitly, Smith refers constantly to technologies that will revolutionize our civilization : nanotech construction of objects and tools, transportation and antigravity tools, interstellar travel, technology invisibility, etc.

L highlight of the book : "Assembled from data obtained by more advanced beings than us".

Order "The new Science" (145 p.)

2- "THE WALL OF LIGHT", D'ARTHUR MATTHEWS ET NIKOLA TESLA (trad. Yann Vadnais and Vidya)

We plan to publish in middle year project which we take to heart and we believe to be d some importance. It s is the first French translation of a "mythical" text in the Canadian UFO literature, that it photocopied and "was going on under the table" before inlet internet, "The Wall of Light" (1971) s d & rsquo English, British-born Arthur H. Matthews, who resided in Lac Beauport, to 20 km north of Quebec City. In this book, he tells his repeated contacts with "Venusians" of 1941 to 1971. However, as he knew since Nikola Tesla childhood, and that he himself was an electrical engineer, Matthews leaves a considerable part to his friend and revered master, reproducing some of his texts, letters, et confiant de nombreux t'emoignages personnels.

The translated text is preceded by a detailed study of the d Arthur Matthews -- the first ever comprehensive -- which are highlighted UFO aspects, futurologiques and meta-historical information transmitted by Matthews. Putting them in parallel with the socio-historical context of work of Tesla -- "L twentieth century inventor", as Matthews likes to repeat -- this new translation proves d dismaying news

3- "THE SOPHIA THE, SOME PHILOSOPHICAL TOOLS TO USE OF UFOLOGISTS", BY TOBI GUILLEMETTE

Finally, our colleague Guillemette Tobi offer us being year an innovative and fun book, which he has worked hard, and whose quality is truly remarkable, both visually and bookish, que critique et 'epist'emologique.

With these "Some philosophical tools to use of ufologists" Tobi introduces us to the rigorous reflection "UFO witness", familiarizing us with useful and necessary concepts of phenomenology, psychoanalysis, s Hypnosis, etc.. By revisiting several important UFO cases, he gives the example of the application of the phenomenological method in the analysis of "events" related to UFOs. Same To You, after analyzing UFO-objects themselves -- with examples in which data clearly confront us with a technology called "alien" -, the resources of the phenomenological method allows to update swathes of these "phenomena", thanks to the "eidetic variation". Le tout pr'esent'e avec la clart'e coutumi`ere de Tobi Guillemette.

C is also in this book that undertakes a Garpan "Revolution at the theoretical level" by adopting a new meaning to the word UFO, becomes "OBJECT VARIABLE NATURE UNKNOWN", This represents both an elegant solution to the skewed sense of "unidentified flying object", but especially a more appropriate definition of our "objects (Physical / intentional) "D study. Besides, about it, Here's an excerpt :

Strange Light Chicago Illinois Pic 2

CHICAGO ILLINOIS Looking over to the western sky in Chicago at night in April, I noticed a very small but untroubled broken light of pennant.

Ufo Sightings Over Britain More Than Triple This Year

-- Use of cliches by journalists quadruples

The show has been off the air for six years now, but still every two-bit newspaper hack who writes a story about UFOs has to make a reference to "The X-Files." Well, I suppose it's better than a mention of "The Twilight Zone," with accompanying vocal rendition of the theme music. I swear I will kill the next person who does THAT one in my presence. Oh, by the way, Jasper, I think the term "little green men" went out of vogue several generations ago. Twenty-three Skidoo!

UFO sightings over Britain more than triple this year

Beware the little green men - the number of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings has more than tripled this year, Ministry of Defence documents reveal.

By Jasper Copping

telegraph.co.uk

September 21, 2009

The so-called "X Files" show that there have been 394 claims reported to the MoD's UFO desk from January until the end of last month, making it by far the "busiest" year on record.

Last year, there were only 118 sightings over the same period. The previous highest number was in 1997 - the first for which figures are available - when there were 331 reports over the same period. Experts say Britain is experiencing a "flap" - the term Ufologists use to describe a concentrated period of sightings. Many of the reports are of UFOs spotted at night time and describe seeing strange lights in the sky. However, some are seen in daylight. One report was from a pilot in an aircraft flying at about 4,500ft over Otmoor, in Oxfordshire, who saw a shiny, black, flying cylinder, 20-30ft long, flying about 200ft higher. According to the documents, the report was forwarded on to the UFO Desk by air traffic controllers.

Officials at the two main civilian airports in the area - Oxford and Cranfield - said the report had not come from them, raising the possibility it came from the nearby RAF base at Brize Norton. A spokesman for the MoD was unable to confirm this, but added: "These types of report do tend to come in via Brize."

Air traffic controllers at Jersey airport also submitted a reported sighting to the UFO Desk. Paul Holley, from the airport, said they were notified of the sighting by a member of the public who had seen a bright orange object hovering over Gorey Castle, on the east of the island.

"This was reviewed against our radar recordings and there was nothing that we could attribute it to, so it technically became an unidentified flying object, which we reported," he said. "Our weather reports showed it was quite a clear night."

It sounds like a case for Agents Mulder and Scully.

Gary Heseltine, a British Transport Police officer and UFO expert, said: "There has certainly been a big increase in sightings in Britain over the last 12 months.

"We are in the midst of a flap. The sightings reported to the MoD will give an indication, but the actual numbers of sightings will be much higher, because many will not contact officials, for fear of ridicule." (Or, perhaps, fear of endless X-Files references and Twilight Zone theme music...)

One of the cases in the files that Dr Clarke finds most tantalising, involved two sightings by an RAF test pilot, Stan Hubbard, in 1950. In the first sighting, he reported seeing a flying "discus shape", around 100ft in diameter, approaching and pass overhead as he was walking along the runway at Farnborough airfield.

Two weeks later, he was in the airfield's control tower with five other airmen when they spotted a similar object and watched it for around 10 minutes. The incidents were investigated by the MoD's "Flying Saucer Working Party", but they concluded that it must have been a "quite normal aircraft".

The other incident that Dr Clarke says defies rational explanation occurred in April 1956, shortly before the Suez Crisis. Radar at RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk detected a number of unexplained blips, including one travelling at hypersonic speed. Airmen on the ground and travelling in a transport plane over the base saw bright lights, but when aircraft were sent to investigate, they could see nothing. Later that night, more UFOs were seen on radar at two other East Anglian airbases, and again on the following night. RAF Jets were sent up to intercept the UFOs and although they found it on their radar, they could not spot the aircraft.

Not all the incidents were reported by the military. In 1962, a 14-year-old schoolboy, Alex Birch, took a photograph apparently showing a fleet of flying saucers over Sheffield. He was summoned to London were he was interviewed by officials from the Air Ministry. They concluded the objects in the picture were most likely to have been produced by sunlight reflecting from "ice crystals" in the smoky atmosphere.

Other UFO sightings detailed in Dr Clarke's book include:

- The crew of a Lancaster bomber, returning from a raid over Turin in November 1942, reported seeing an object 200-300ft in length travelling at around 500mph.

- A Lancaster crew returning from a raid over southern France in 1944 reported seeing an "an enormous string of lights" on the starboard side of the plane. Ronald Claridge, the radio operator, said they were part of an "enormous disk". All the crew watched as the shape tracked alongside them for about three minutes, before suddenly accelerating away ahead of them.

-On the night of 20 March 1941, with the threat of a German invasion still strong, five separate coastal radar stations reported massive formations of aircraft heading towards Britain, but when fighters were scrambled, they could find nothing. The same phenomenon occurred the following night and was repeated over the following weeks. The cause was never discovered.

-In 1956 a US fighter was scrambled from an airbase in Kent to shoot down a UFO tracked by radar over East Anglia. He found the UFO on his radar and "locked on" to the target but as he began to close in, it vanished.
