Ufo Alert Police Officer Sees Aliens At Crop Circle

A POLICE OFFICER CONTACTED BRITISH UFO EXPERTS AFTER SEEING THREE ALIENS EXAMINING A FRESHLY MADE CROP CIRCLE NEAR AVEBURY, WILTSHIRE. By Alastair JamiesonPublished: 11:36AM BST 20 Oct 2009 Many crop circles, including this one in May 2009, have appeared near Silbury Hill, Wiltshire Photo: APEX The sergeant, who has not been named, was off-duty when he saw the figures standing in a field near Silbury Hill, and stopped his car to investigate. However, as he approached the 'men' - all over 6ft tall with blond hair - he heard "the sound of static electricity" and the trio ran away 'faster than any man he had ever seen'. The officer returned to his home in Marlborough, Wiltshire, and contacted paranormal experts and told them he had spotted a UFO. Wiltshire Police has refused to comment on the incident, saying it is a 'personal matter' for the officer involved. Crop circle researcher Andrew Russell, who is investigating the bizarre sighting on behalf of the officer, described the moment his sighting was made. He said: 'At first he thought they were forensic officers as they were dressed in white coveralls. He stopped his car and approached the field. 'The figures were all over 6ft and had blond hair. They seemed to be inspecting the crop. When he got to the edge of the field he heard what he believed to be a sound not dissimilar to static electricity. 'This crackling noise seemed to be running through the field and the crop was moving gently, close to where the noise was. 'He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him, not glancing at him. When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running. 'He said; 'They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I'm no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone. 'I then got scared. The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car. For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn't shift.' The bizarre incident occurred on the morning of July 6 this year as the police officer was driving. The officer claims the three figures were examining a crop circle, which had appeared several days earlier, when he stopped his car and began walking towards them. However, the mysterious beings disappeared when he 'looked away for a second' and he contacted UFO experts after witnessing other paranormal activity. A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: 'The police officer was apparently off duty when this happened so we have no comment to make because it is a personal not a police matter.' Crop circle expert Colin Andrews, who investigated the incident alongside Andrew Russell, said he is 'convinced' by the police officer's story. He said: 'I am quite convinced the officer had an experience that day and one that we have not fully explored. 'I think with the unusual movement of the being and the poltergeist experiences there is too much additional information to say that is something in nothing.' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/ufo/6394256/UFO-alert-police-officer-sees-aliens-at-crop-circle.html

Ufo Sighting In South Jordan Utah On February 22Nd 2015 Looked Like Star But Changed Directions Constantly

I was outside and was walking toward my car. I always like to see the stars and I keep an eye out for UFO's just for fun. I was looking at three stars and noticed a fourth to the right of the three. As I was walking I thought it was moving but maybe it only appeared to be moving because I was walking, so I stopped. When I stopped I noticed that it seemed to still be moving, in a straight line though. I thought maybe it was a meteorite because it was so far up. It looked like a star, very close to the size of the three other stars near it. They were all white with a tint of blue. I watched it for a second over the Oquirrh Mountains head west and down toward the horizon. Within a couple seconds after I stopped I noticed that it abruptly changed direction and went up, complete opposite direction. The it changed again but curved to the right and back down toward the horizon. Then it changed again and headed right then curved and went down then curved and went left. Then it changed direction again and headed down then curved to the left and curved and started heading back up. It basically traced a three-leaf clover path as best as I can describe it. Then it started to change directions rapidly but within a small area, maybe the size of a dime if I had held it up to the sky. It was moving slowly and at a constant pace but kept changing directions quite a bit. Once it started doing that I called out to my wife who was just north of me and said "What the
is THAT?!". As soon as she started to look over to where it was, it headed toward the horizon in a straight line and slowly disappeared. But she didn't see it in time anyway. She said that when I had called out to her she saw a flash in the sky to the north and wasn't sure what it was. Soon after the incident, the clouds moved in and covered everything. Didn't see anything else after that. I'd guess the speed of the object was anywhere between mach 2 and 3 or maybe faster, assuming it was out in space or at least really high up in the atmosphere. I've seen jets go mach 1 and they wouldn't be able to keep up with this object. I'm not sure how it changed direction so often. That's the thing that made me come here to report it. Most objects I see in the sky are explainable but this one is one of those that I can't explain away.

I found this on a photo search yesterday and I found it EXTREMELY interesting.

IDENTIFYING THE UNIDENTIFIABLE

July 27, 2012

"THE THREE TYPES OF UNIDENTIFIED SEA CREATURES DESCRIBED BY DR. PAUL LEBLOND. (LINDA GODFREY)"

Ancient myths paint unknown sea creatures as true monsters, or beings that combine characteristics of different species and that may possess supernatural powers. But the modern view of sea"monsters" is usually that they are unknown, natural animals. But what kind of animal are they? Reptile? Amphibian? Mammal? Some researchers have analyzed as many eyewitness accounts as possible and created models that most closely match all these descriptions.

The task itself is monstrous, given the many stories reported over the years by hundreds of people in all types of weather and light conditions, from varied distances and points of view. Creatures that resemble giant whales, squid, or other known ocean dwellers demand separate categories. And those that most closely fit the public's mental image of sea monsters have been described with many combinations of long necks, "humps," flippers, headsranging from turtle-like to horse-like, lengths from 20 to over 100 feet, and skin both scaled and smooth. Yet most classifiers have managed to boil them down into some basic subtypes.

In 1963 French zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans wrote a classic book, In the Wake of the Sea Serpents, that attempted to place sightings from around the world into nine categories: long-necked, merhorse, many humped, super-otters, many-finned, super-eels, marine saurians, yellow- bellies, and fathers-of-all-the-turtles. While it is now alleged that Heuvelmans skewed data to fit his own ideas in some cases, he is still known as the "father of cryptozoology" for his pioneering work on unknown species.

Inspired partly by Heuvelman's work, scientists Dr. Paul H. LeBlond of the University of British Columbia's Institute of Oceanography and Dr. John Sibert looked at reports of large, unknown creatures inhabiting the waters of British Columbia and found three subtypes that sound much like sea monsters reported around the world. These were repeated in a 1980 book by biologist and author Roy P. Mackal, who cautioned that the three categories may not represent separate species and in fact might simply show differences between male and female:1. A creature with large eyes set laterally on a horse- or camel-shaped head mounted at the end of a long neck. This animal is a fast swimmer, has short, dark-brown fur and no mane. It is probably a mammal and may be related to seals.2. An animal similar to the first type but with small eyes, sometimes described with horns or mane. Both types are not only fast, but also smooth swimmers, submerging vertically as if pulled under.3. A long, serpentine animal, showing loops of its body above water and swimming fast, with much thrashing. Its head is described as sheeplike with small eyes, and it has a dorsal fin running along part of its back.

I CAN IDENTIFY EACH OF THESE CREATURES QUITE EASILY BUT THEY DO NOT ORDINARILY COME SO ASSORTED. USUALLY THE MORE NORMAL ANIMAL-SHAPED CREATURES 1 OR 2 ARE ALSO TRAILING A LENTH OF TAIL OR WAKE WHICH GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF NUMBER 3. IN FACT THE SHEEPLIKE HEAD OF NUMBER 3 IS COMPARABLE TO NUMBER 1 OR 2. IN ASSORTING THESE CATEGORIES OUT, 1 AND 2 ARE FAIRLY SMALL ANIMALS ALTHOUGH THEY CAN BE REPORTED AS BEING LARGER (AGAIN, ACCORDING TO HOW LONG OF A "TAIL" THEY ARE TRAILING.) 1 AND 2 ARE OBVIOUSLY THE SAME SORT OF CREATURE AND THEY CAN BE CHARACTERISED AS "PLAIN" #1 AND "FANCY"#2, WITH THE LATTER EMBELLISHED BY MANE OR BEARD, HORNS OR FLOPPY EARS. BUT HERE IS ANOTHER VIEW FOR CLARIFICATION:http://theworldlink.com/news/local/hunting-sea-beasts/article b27b6ae2-bcee-11e1-ab27-0019bb2963f4.html

HUNTING SEA BEASTS

HOW TO SPOT A SEA MONSTER

2012-06-23T07:00:00Z2012-06-26T08:26:41ZHunting sea beastsDaniel Simmons-Ritchie, The WorldThe WorldJune 23, 2012 7:00 am o Daniel Simmons-Ritchie, The World Sighted a sea beast? Contact the British Columbia Cryptozoology Club: www.bcscc.ca/cadborosaurus.htm

Too much silliness? Read a British paleontologist's article debunking the Cadboro-saurus: blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/2012/04/16/the-cadborosaurus-wars/

COOS BAY - My editor called me insane.

"I need money," I said. "I need a boat."

My editor, as a broad rule, does not believe in sea monsters. Even those, like the Cadborosaurus, that have been seen by over 300 seafarers.

If I'm insane, I argued to my editor on a Friday afternoon in The World office, then I must be in good company.

No more than 60 years ago, a fishing crew watched an unknown creature approach their ship off Cape Arago.

If those men were insane, so too perhaps were the fishermen who recorded a humped beast in Alaskan waters in 2009. Footage later appeared on the Discovery Channel.

If we are insane, then our ringleader must be Paul LeBlond, an emeritus professor from the University of British Columbia. For 50 years, LeBlond has collated hundreds of monster sightings.

Commonly described as a "horse-headed megaserpent," the creature has all the hallmarks of the Loch Ness Monster. In the Pacific Northwest, experts know the beast by a different name: The Cadborosaurus.

Skeptical? LeBlond asks doubters to read about the Cadborosaurus before brushing it aside.

"This isn't like UFOs that are a stretch of the imagination," LeBlond said. "This is a zoological possibility. There are still animals being discovered in the ocean."

In the interest of pushing the zoological frontier, I wanted to charter a boat in search of the Cadborosaurus. My dream was to be the first man to lay claim to the brute.

It was the hunt for the leviathan.

EXPEDITION

I set sail from Charleston Marina on the 14th of June with a five-man crew, pressed between 15-knot winds and the allure of the unknown.

The odds were against us. While the Cadborosaurus is sighted from California to Alaska, it has been more than 50 years since one was spied off Cape Arago.

Among experts, British Columbia is known as ground zero for Cadborosaurus sightings. In the 1930s, the beast was named after its frequent sightings in Cadboro Bay, Vancouver Island.

But even in the heart of "Caddie" country, the serpent is elusive. Despite several expeditions, LeBlond has never seen one in real life. In late May, a National Geographic film crew at his side, the Canadian made another unsuccessful search.

LeBlond didn't rate the chances of my own expedition.

"You would basically keep your eyes open and go to sea without a strong expectation of seeing anything, because the creature is rarely seen," he said.

But he offered some advice: Keep your camera ready. Too many photo opportunities have been missed by distracted observers.

"They stand there ogling the creature and forget about their camera," he said. "One good photo is worth a lot of eyewitness observations."

My crew was up for the challenge. Although my editor was absent, I had a World photographer at my side.

I also had Mel Campbell of the Wild Women of Charleston. When Campbell heard of The World's expedition, she insisted on joining.

"I just have this feeling, a good feeling that today is the day. Don't you?" said Campbell, as our boat churned through the brackish water of the Charleston channel.

And, unlike LeBlond, I had the eagle eyes of Margie Whitmer, the owner of Betty Kay Charters.

Fate had brought me to Whitmer, a red-haired woman with a warm, motherly charm. When I first called, she not only agreed to reserve me her 47-foot boat; she also told me, unexpectedly, that her father had sighted a Cadborosaurus off the coast of Washington.

Margie recounted the story: It was 1956. Whitmer's father was salmon fishing with four friends on a foggy day in Neah Bay. A creature appeared, which he described as "long, dark, bigger than a boat."

"He said, 'I'm never going out again in an open boat, a small boat, for salmon,'" Whitmer said. "It scared him that much."

I asked whether her father might have been joking.

Whitmer shook her head.

"He was just very serious, to the point that you know he was rattled," she said. "And he was a big strong man and nothing could disturb him. But that sure did."

SEA

After 30 minutes, we reached open water. We were alone now, two miles from land, a crouton in a teal soup.

Our boat churned toward Cape Arago lighthouse, our eyes probing the horizon.

An hour passed and our hopes began to fray. No necks. No humps. No fins.

Compounding matters, seasickness began to take hold of me. I could barely hold my harpoon.

We charted a course homeward.

RETURN

As our boat pulled into the marina, a sea lion lazed on the pier. In a search built on hearsay and dreams, its flesh, so blubbery and tangible, taunted me.

Be it Cadboro Bay or Loch Ness, few monsters appear to those who search for them. Most witnesses, like Whitmer's father, stumble on the beast by accident.

Sadly, those sightings are never enough for the insatiable appetite of the scientific record.

Jan Hodder, a Charleston-based marine biologist from Oregon State University, says while little is known about many deep sea creatures, those closer to shore are well-documented.

"Just think of how many people are on the ocean all the time," she said.

A British paleontologist, Darren Naish, is less polite. He says Cadborosaurus mavens, like Paul LeBlond, have created a composite creature based on body parts from different sightings.

"Accounts used to support the reality of 'Cadborosaurus' likely represent a hodge-podge of seal and deer sightings, as well as sightings of other animals and phenomena," Naish wrote in his blog for Scientific American.

These comments are fuel to the fire of unbelief. While I remain empty-handed today, I am cheered by a 1933 editorial in the Victoria Daily Times by Archie Willis, an editor more imaginative than my own.

"Any fool can disbelieve in sea serpents," he wrote.

BASICALLY YOU HAVE A SITUATION WITH SIGHTINGS ASSUMED TO BE IN THE SHAPE OF THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE'S SKETCH. CREATURES WITH NECKS 3-6 FEET LONG NEED TO BE SEPARATED OUT FROM THE MORE DEFINITELY LONGNECKED CATEGORY OF CREATURES REPORTED WITH NECKS 6-12 FEET LONG (AND PERHAPS TWICE THAT ACTUALLY.) AND A BODY LENGTH OF 10-20 FEET LONG TO GO WITH THE SHORTER-NECKED CATEGORY BUT 20-40 FEET TO GO ALONG WITH THE LONGER NECKS 12 FEET LONG OR SO. (THAT IS, THE LONGNECKED CREATURES ARE UP TO 30-50 FEET LONG TOTAL, LENGTH OF NECK ASSUMED ABOUT 1/3 TO 1/4 OF TOTAL LENGTH, AND SHOTER-NECKED CREATURES IN THE RANGE OF 10-20 FEET LONG "TOTAL" WITH A HEAD LIKE THAT OF A HORSE OR CAMEL REPORTED ON BOTH CATEGORIES, ONLY A NECK REPORTED AS "HALF AS LONG" IN THE SMALLER CATEGORY. THE LARGER SIZED LONGER NECKED CATEGORY NOW MATCHES WITH TIM DINSDALE'S RECONSTRUCTION OF THE LOCH NESS MONSTER IN ITS BASIC MEASUREMENTS AND PROPORTIONS.)

WE CAN NOW RETURN TO LEBLONDE'S CREATURES LISTED ABOVE.

HIS LONG BODIED CREATURE IS CLEARLY THE SAME AS "THE GREAT SEA SERPENT" OTHERWISE REPORTED WORLD-WIDE IN ALL BODIES OF WATER, FRESHWATER AND SALTWATER, AND DESCRIBED IN SIMILAR TERMS ALL OVER. IT IS ALSO ILLUSTRATED AS THE TAIL SECTION OF THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE'S MONSTER SKETCH

The two kinds of animals identified by LeBlond and pictured at the top of this article are the bull and cow moose, and type 2 is indeed the "Adorned"version with more abundant mane and horns (antlers) but still within the same species, as the original document has stated. a big bull moose can be as much as over 15-16 feet longtip of snout to tip of tail. Those estimates of 20 feet long overall were really quite close

Swimming Cow Moose and Calf

Swimming Bull Moose

Pristichampsus version of Bernard Heuvelmans' MerhorseFrom Deviant art and presuming the "Horns or fins" seen on top of the head along with the maneare actually ears (darkened here) and that the tail is short (Shortened here). The "Beard" corresponds to the "Bell" and overall this is a good match for the proportions of a swimming moose. therer is even the distinct impression that the rear foot has a cloven hoof, but that is probably coincidental. Once again, the lowst sizes of 15-20 feet (often reported as 30 feet long, the "minimum" specified by Heuvelmans but the "maximum" specified by Costello) are also a very good estimate for the actual size of a large moose when seen swimming in the water.

Do Aliens Need Gold For Intergalactic Space Travel And Survival

ALIEN & UFO EXPERTS WILL REMIND PEOPLE THAT THE BEST EVIDENCE FOR THEM COULD BE FOUND HIDDEN IN ANCIENT RUINS ON EARTH, AND AT THE BOTTOM OF OLD RELIGIOUS SITES LIKE GUATAVITA IN COLOMBIA.Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. THE GOLD RITUALS AT THE CIRCULAR MOUNTAIN LAKE GUATAVITA, LOCATED JUST NORTH OF BOGOT'a, INSPIRED THE LEGEND OF EL DORADO AND OTHER MYSTERIOUS CITIES OF GOLD. EVER SINCE SPANISH CONQUISTADORS IN THE 16TH CENTURY WITNESSED AN INDIGENOUS CHIEFTAIN COVERED IN GOLD DUST DUMP PRECIOUS METALS INTO THE LAKE, LEGENDS OF VAST WEALTH CAPTIVATED FUTURE GENERATIONS OF FORTUNE SEEKERS. AND WHILE THE LAKE CONTINUES TO ATTRACT GOLD HUNTERS WHO ARE KEEN ON DREDGING GUATAVITA FOR SUNKEN TREASURE, MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED BY RESEARCHERS WHO BELIEVE THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE ALSO CONTAINS EVIDENCE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE THAT CAME TO EARTH IN SEARCH OF GOLD.SOME HAVE SUGGESTED THAT ALIENS USED GOLD IN THEIR ATMOSPHERE TO REFLECT THE SUN'S RAYS AND PRESERVE THEIR PLANET. BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE SKEPTICAL, AND NEED SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SHOW WHY ALIENS WOULD BE SO INTERESTED IN GOLD, DERRICK PITTS, CHIEF ASTRONOMER AND PLANETARIUM DIRECTOR FOR THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE IN PHILADELPHIA, OFFERS AN EXPLANATION THAT DESCRIBES GOLD AS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT FOR SPACE EXPLORATION AND ASTRONOMY. "GOLD IS AN INERT MATERIAL, IT DOESN'T REACT WITH ANYTHING," HE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW FOR THE POPULAR HISTORY CHANNEL TELEVISION SERIES ANCIENT ALIENS. "IT IS A WONDERFUL CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY... AND... A PERFECT REFLECTOR OF INFRARED ENERGY. YOU CAN USE GOLD BLANKETS TO PROTECT SPACECRAFT AGAINST THE INTENSE HEAT OF A STAR OR ANY SORT OF HEAT SOURCE."OTHERS BELIEVE THAT ALIENS USED ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS TO MINE FOR GOLD, AND ARGUE THAT IF WE EXAMINE OLD LEGENDS AND TEMPLES WE COULD IDENTIFY PATTERNS THAT PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE. FOLLOWING THIS ARGUMENT, INDIGENOUS TEMPLES BUILT OVER 1,000 YEARS AGO TO COMMEMORATE THE VISITATION OF A GOD, AND STRANGE TRIBAL CHANTS AND RITUALS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER WORLDLY BEINGS, COULD BE INTERPRETED AS CULTURAL EVIDENCE OF ALIEN CONTACT.ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS ALIEN VISITATIONS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE OCCURRED IN CUSCO, PERU. THE SUN TEMPLE QURIKANCHA HAD A GIANT GOLDEN DISC THAT SOME ALIEN EXPERTS BELIEVE WAS A SYMBOL OF A GOLD-PLATED UFO THAT HAD LANDED IN FRONT OF THE INCA EMPEROR ATAHUALPA, LEGENDARY FOR HAVING DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE "SKY GODS."OTHER THEORISTS GO EVEN FURTHER, CLAIMING THAT THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA IS AN ANCIENT REACTOR THAT ALIENS USED TO MAKE GOLD. BUT INDEPENDENTLY FROM WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN ALIENS, ANCIENT TEMPLES AND MAUSOLEUMS ARE LIKE GIANT REPOSITORIES FOR OLD SCIENCES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST. AND THESE SCIENCES CAN REMIND US THAT OUR ANCESTORS WERE NOT ONLY CONCERNED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PLANET, BUT ALSO BELIEVED THAT SURVIVAL WAS DEPENDANT ON HAVING A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.http://www.educatinghumanity.com/feeds/posts/default

The Washington National Ufo Sighting Press Conference Part 1

I stand been advised, by a connection, Tim Banse, who seems to bring together these fill, that several of my postings are waaaaaaaay too desire. He suggested that I break them up voguish less significant bites. In maintenance through what I trust to be parsley tinge, popular is the first share of the substantial record, through my string remarks, of the Air Strength of character press conference about the Washington Inland UFO sightings in 1952.This came about after the flicker round of Saturday night radar and lifelike sightings, and after a spring of has-been accost attempts. The Air Strength of character assumed it ultimate to wear a press conference to express the glasses case, at negligible as they saw it. Ed Ruppelt called the conference the prime and documentation that had been protected by the Air Strength of character as the similar of the Add-on World War. Ruppelt likewise suggested that the cards had been stacked once again Peak Current John A. Samford, the Controller of Ingenuity, who was the first-class manager at the conference. In the role of Samford had to "mass" on normal of the answers to questions being the investigations had not been more than, it seemed, to normal of the assembled plead, that the Air Strength of character was attempting to pour the truth.The press conference was protected at the Pentagon, in room 3E-869, to be extract. In addition attending for the Air Strength of character was Peak Current Roger M. Ramey, after that the Controller of Operations for the Air Strength of character and the incredibly Roger Ramey who had been at 8th Air Strength of character Foot in Hole Function during the Roswell UFO crash briefings in July, 1947, as our old connection CDA believed to caution me, as if I didn't appreciate. Others put forward for the Air Strength of character included Colonel Donald L. Bower, of ATIC, Chief Roy L. James, an decent in radar operations and likewise from ATIC, Ed Ruppelt, the supervisor of Court case Boorish Tolerate, and Mr. Buroyne L. Griffing, a resident from ATIC.Remarkable by their paucity were Peak Dewey Fournet, the military correlation manager among the Pentagon and Court case Boorish Tolerate, Al Score, the avow Pentagon spokesperson on UFOs, and Lt. John Holcomb, the Maritime manager who was an decent on radar and electronics. When all three had been at Washington Inland during the flicker set of sightings, their absorption would become visible to be a organic picture. Probably the Air Strength of character had other matter being none were put forward to reaction questions direct conversely all were assigned to the Pentagon in Washington.The press conference began through an introduction by a resident Pentagon press affairs avow who said:Ladies and gentlemen, let me remind the military that, era they are comprise popular, this is a press conference and let's be sure that the press is all seated beforehand the conference begins.This refers to the fact that normal military officers who had no veil in the press conference were in the room to dance to it. They were being told to sit down and quiet up. Let me inspire Current Samford, Air Strength of character Controller of Ingenuity, and Current Ramey, Controller of Operations. Current Samford.Peak Current Samford: I devise the plan is to stand very curt defect interpretation and after that ask for such questions as you may nonexistence to put to us for discussion and reaction. In so far as defect interpretation is [sic] caring, I absolutely nonexistence to state our cause for cooperation about this.The Air Strength of character feels a very sure annoyance to alert and schoolwork fill that fill in in the air that may stand in them consequence to the Shared States and, being of that dent of annoyance and our line of that maneuver, as 1947, we stand an activity that was forward one time as Court case Saucer and now, as share of assorted best quality fixed and integrated apparatus, stand undertaken to schoolwork among a thousand and two thousand reports custom through this area. And out of that medley of reports that we've traditional we've been able to claim fill which were separately unidentified and dispose of them to our gratification in provisos of gathering while we came to the similar that these fill were either manageable aircraft incorrectly alleged or reported, hoaxes, correctly a few of folks, electronic and meteorological phenomena of one multiplicity of assorted, light aberrations, and normal other fill.It is crucial to indication that put forward never was a Court case Saucer in a real reason. Gone the Air Strength of character fashioned its first investigation, mishmash named Indicator, it publicly called the project by the christen of Saucer. Then, after the mishmash christen Indicator was compromised, the Air Strength of character announced that it had ruined its investigation, but, in reality, continued it as Court case Fight. Eventually Fight evolved voguish Court case Boorish Tolerate, but in the manner of native tongue through resident officials and members of the press, the unendorsed christen of Court case Saucer was frequently used.The very well press conference began after that and behest be noted in the therefore make of this redeployment.

An Alien Who Who

The following review by me of "An Alien Who's Who" (edited by Martin S. Kottmeyer, and published by Anomalist Books) has just been published in issue 2 of Stuart Miller's "Alien Worlds" magazine, and is reproduced with Stuart's permission:Depending on your own personal perspective regarding what lies at the heart of the UFO puzzle, "An Alien Who's Who" reveals a great deal about (a) the dizzying variety of extraterrestrials that have visited the Earth for a good many years; (b) the tall-tales of a whole range of fantasists and con-merchants; or (c) the way in which the UFO phenomenon, and those within it, are constantly being manipulated and exploited by a true trickster of a type that would make both John Keel and Jacques Vallee very proud.Or, maybe it's all three theories, or perhaps none of them. Whatever the case, I know only this much for certain: Martin Kottmeyer's book is damned good fun and highly informative - and in equal measures, too.Basically, it's a 263-page, A to Z-style page-turner that lists a truly startling number of names attributed to aliens that are said to have visited the Earth. Of course, reading about the trials, tribulations and exploits of hundreds of alleged aliens that range from Acorc (the denizen of an over-crowded planet 52 million kilometers from Earth) to Zyloo (who supposedly 'followed Apollo 13' and became involved in the 'Sixth Patrol Division', whatever the hell that is or was) could very quickly become tedious.In the hands of Kottmeyer, however, tediousness is the last thing that springs to mind. Certainly, most of the entries are relatively brief; however, they are also tinged with a welcome bit of deadpan humour. For example, Herronoah - who hails from the planet Epicot - tells a startled earthling named 'Edwin W' that human beings wear too many clothes, and goes on to inform Edwin how, on one occasion, 'their ship spooked a naked woman and man in a clump of bushes'. Ahem.Then we get treated to the spectacle of Aura Rhanes, the hot space-babe from a far-off world called Clarion who, according to Truman Bethurum, the man she appeared before, wore 'slacks' that 'appeared almost as if painted on her, so snugly did they fit'. Lucky Truman, that's all I can say. And what are we to make of Motag, who 'once converted a flying saucer into a truck'? Or Nokyle, who intriguingly threatens to reveal details of a certain incident involving what are tantalisingly described only as 'crazy girls'?As you have probably already guessed, many of the entries contained within the packed pages of "An Alien Who's Who" hail from that much-ridiculed era of the so-called Contactee: those seemingly elite souls who claimed face-to-face encounters with long-haired aliens back in the 1950s and whose names were invariably made up of a lot of Q's, Z's and X's.It should be stressed that the ridiculous and often hysterical nature of some of the stories does not undermine Kottmeyer's credibility as an author. Indeed, he points out in his Introduction that he does not believe in 'physically real aliens', from Venus, Mars, Pluto, and so on.Rather, for the most part, Kottmeyer has done something that few authors seldom do: he leaves his own views and beliefs at the door, and instead provides the reader with entertaining - and otherwise very hard to find - summaries on alleged other-worldly entities that have supposedly been manifesting before select members of the Human Race for decades.Kottmeyer relates their bizarre, unverifiable and at times completely false tales, prophecies and warnings. And, in a roundabout way, he amply demonstrates that for all the attempts to legitimise Ufology as a serious science, it is still a subject that is packed with odd and unusual characters with weird names and even weirder motivations - and if you think I'm just talking about the aliens here, well, you're very wrong, my friends.With an entertaining and insightful Foreword from ufologist and Project Beta author Greg Bishop, "An Alien Who's Who" is vital reading for anyone and everyone that wants to learn more about some of the strange, other-worldly beings said to have visited our planet and whose exploits, without Kottmeyer, would otherwise be lost to the fog of time.And, with all that now said, I'm off to meet Solar-Commander Xzzobovaxxx for a spot of dinner, followed by a flight around Venus with the bikini-clad Amazonians of Delta-Zorvog 12. Wish me luck!For more details, see http://www.anomalistbooks.com/

Astronauta Lunare Crede Agli Alieni I Lunacomplottisti Vanno In Loop Infinito

ASTRONAUTA LUNARE: GLI UFO ESISTONO E GLI ALIENI CI HANNO VISITATO

L'articolo `e stato aggiornato dopo la pubblicazione iniziale.

Edgar Mitchell, uno dei due astronauti che camminarono sulla Luna durante la missione Apollo 14, ha dichiarato di essere "stato informato che siamo stati visitati su questo pianeta e che il fenomeno UFO `e reale". Non solo: dice anche che l'incidente di Roswell `e autentico e che da sessant'anni i governi tengono segreta tutta la faccenda delle visite aliene.

La notizia esplode ovunque in Rete: Slashdot, The Inquirer, News.com.au, Telegraph, BoingBoing, giusto per citare alcuni siti. L'origine della storia `e Kerrang, dove trovate l'audio dell'intervista telefonica a Mitchell.

I lunacomplottisti esultano, perch'e naturalmente credono agli UFO e possono dire "Vedi? Esistono, l'ha detto persino un astronauta".

Ma esultano soltanto per un istante. Perch'e poi si accorgono che quell'astronauta `e una delle persone che loro accusano da quarant'anni di essere uno dei bugiardi traditori che hanno falsificato le missioni lunari, per cui assolutamente non gli possono credere. Oops.

Dai, Ed, che scherzo da prete.

Appena smetto di ridere vi racconto tutta la storia di Ed Mitchell.

2008/07/25: LA TRASCRIZIONE DELLE PAROLE DI MITCHELL

Ecco una stesura veloce del testo integrale delle dichiarazioni dell'astronauta Edgar Mitchell. La trascrizione `e stata realizzata con Dragon Naturally Speaking (io ripetevo le parole dette dagli interlocutori) e poi riveduta a mano un paio di volte. Se trovate refusi o decifrate le parole incomprensibili, avvisatemi via mail o nei commenti.

INTERVISTATORE: "Do you believe in life on other planets?"

MITCHELL: Oh yes, there's not much question at all, but there's life throughout the universe. We're not alone in the universe at all.

I: "You're convinced that we're not alone in the universe?"

M: Oh, I... know for sure we're not alone in the universe. Now, have we been able to identify for sure where the other planets are? No, we have not. Certainly not in our solar system. But they've identified quite a number of planets, now, that very likely could be life-bearing planets, and... I happen to be privileged to know... to have... be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomenon is real, although it's been covered up by our governments for quite a long time.

I: "Wow! Hang on a minute. But this is big. So... I'm... Whoa... This is... All of this is quite a shock to me."

M: Well, I'm sorry, you haven't been reading the papers recently, they're starting to open up quite a bit.

I: "So you're telling me... whoa, this is a lot of information to take on board. Hang on a minute. I mean, listen, I've heard like, you know, crazy UFO nuts tell me this kind of thing before. I've never had Dr. Ed Mitchell, you know, the sixth man to walk on the moon, a respected scientist in his own right, uh, announce to me that we've been... visited by... aliens from... other planets and that they... they definitely are out there, there's no debating it."

M: Well, that's "[incomprensibile]" talked to me, I would have told you about it before.

I: "So... So you... you believe in all of... you believe the whole idea..."

M: Well, no, there's more nonsense out there about this that there is real knowledge, but there is... it is a real phenomenon, and there's quite a few of us... it's been well covered up by all of our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it leaks out and some of us are privileged to have been briefed on some of it. I happen to have grown up in the... I don't even know you... whether you know this place, Roswell, New Mexico, where presumably the Roswell incident of 1947 took place, and I'm quite knowledgeable [incomprensibile] there, since I grew up there, but I've also been in military circles and intelligence circles that knows beneath the surface of what has been, uh... public knowledge, that yes, we have been visited.

I: "So... and... and.. you're serious? You're not going to go, "You know, I was just pulling your leg about that, it's not true"?"

M: [incomprensibile]

I: "I'm just... I was wondering if I'm... I've just stumbled upon... astronaut humour, and in a couple of minutes you're going to go, "I was only pulling your leg"."

M: No, I won't... won't do that.

I: "Wow, so... wow! So.. what... so... I mean, so you've been briefed on the fact that there are... we've been visited."

M: Well, I haven't... briefed is one word for it. I have been involved in... in... much of this work. It's not my main work, it's not my main interest. But I have been deeply involved in certain committees and certain research programs with very credible scientists and intelligence people that do know the real inside story, and I'm... I'm not hesitant to talk about it.

I: "What is the real inside story?"

M: Well, I've just been telling you, we have been visited.

I: "Are they... I mean, are we in regular contact, or was it a one-off crash, or...?"

M: Well, no, there's been quite a few... there's quite a bit of contact going on, I can't tell you because I don't know all the extent of it, I don't know all the inside details because that isn't my really main interest, but the fact that we have been visited, the Roswell crash was real and a numbers... number of other contacts have been real and ongoing. Uh, it's pretty well known for... to those of us who have... been briefed and been close to the subject matter.

I: "So why is it being covered up then? Why is it that it's not mainstream?"

M: Well, the reason for that goes back to the main incidents that really started taking place after World War II, when in the United States at least, I can't speak for European governments or the South American governments, all of them have recently started opening their files, and most... I mean, it's been opened, this is starting to open up, and read the Internet or look at... look at some of the press, the international press, you get, start to get stories coming out now. But...

I: "I've... I've... I've had people on the show telling me that we're mount-...that... that governments are mounting up towards disclosure, towards saying that this is the case. Do you think it'll be the case that there will be an actual disclosure on this, maybe this year, that the governments will come out?"

M: I don't know whether it will be this year in the United States, but certainly we 've already had it in the last few years from the Belgian government, the French government, the Brazilian government, the Mexican government, they've opened their files and admitted that they had the files.

I: "Okay, right, let me get my head together. Okay, listen, here's what I now. I've had people on the show talking about the fact that the Catholic Church has said, belief in life on other planets doesn't compromise your Catholicism."

M: Of course, that just happened recently in association with a major release, I believe, of the British government...some of the British government files, they weren't their deepest files, but some files were released.

I: "Yep, what's happening is at the moment, over the next four years, all the UFO files here in the UK are being released. Do you think it's the case we are ramping up towards maybe the UK admitting?"

M: Well, I can't say how fast it's going to happen, but certainly the public awareness of it... uh... is increasing, public acceptance is increasing. The amount of... misinformation... covert and actual attempts to cover up, seem to be decreasing. I think we're headed toward... real disclosure in some very serious organisations, uh, moving in that direction.

I: "What do you... you've had a long time to think about this. What you think the impact will be on the world when it's finally mainstream news that there are alien beings that live outside this planet?"

M: Well, I think at this point it's probably "Ho-hum, so what's new?" I think that certainly in the United States well over 70% of the people now accept this as fact although they may not... they do not know... all the correct story, they do know that there has been, or accept the fact, there has been visitation, UFOs in the skies all the time that are very likely alien craft. Now, not all of them are, I suspect some of them are home-grown. I suspect that in the last 60 years or so, that there has been some, uh, back-engineering and the creation of this type of equipment that is not nearly as sophisticated, yet, as what the apparent visitors have.

I: "So... as part of this... I mean, as part of you knowing about this and also going public with it, are you worried for your own safety with this kind of stuff or are you convinced that" [incomprensibile]"?"

M: Oh, I think that those days are gone. There used to be a concern among the people on the inside, but I don't think they're knocking anybody off for that any more or, uh, doing drastic things to them.

I: "What do you think the intent of the aliens is? Is it hostile or peaceful?"

M: No no no, it's not hostile, it's pretty obvious that if it were hostile, we would've been gone by now.

I: "Really"?

M: We could have been. We had no defense, if that's what their real intent was.

I: "And what... are we talking... What do they look like, are we talking, like, you know, the traditional sort of...?"

M: You've seen some of the pictures, uh... the pictures that I know of, some of them are... uh... are these little.. little people look strange... that look strange to us. As far as I know from my... from my, uh, contacts that have had contact, that looks... is pretty accurate.

I: "Wow! Do you think other people who are involved in the moon landings know about this?"

M: Some of them do. But again, it's like other people, if you're interested enough to dig into it and want to know about it, you can know about it.

I: "Because... uh, listen, I don't want... I know you're a busy guy and I know there's other people..."

M: Yeah, this phone that... is not leaving me alone, this other phone is ringing all the time, and... I'm by myself here at the moment.

I: "I've... This has been... easily one of the most significant conversations in my life. Unbelievable. Uh, Uh... just... I want to thank you for joining us, and, uh, Doctor Ed Mitchell, that's inc... Listen, you're a friend of the show, if you want to accept that friendship and... and wow, what an incredible conversation. Listen man, thanks for joining" [troncato dalla fine della registrazione, presumo "us"]

In sintesi, Mitchell non dice di aver avuto contatti diretti con alieni o veicoli alieni, ma di averne saputo attraverso le parole di altri. La sua accusa ai governi di aver cospirato per tenere segreta la verit`a `e basata soltanto su vaghe dicerie. Quello che colpisce `e che Mitchell annuncia una delle notizie pi`u importanti della storia (il contatto con altre civilt`a) e poi la liquida dicendo che "non `e il mio interesse principale". Come sarebbe a dire? Cos'altro ci pu`o mai essere di pi`u "principale" e di pi`u interessante rispetto a una notizia del genere?

Mitchell non ha prove e non fa nomi di testimoni n'e indica circostanze precise (salvo dire che l'incidente di Roswell del 1947 `e "autentico"). Un po' poco, per un'affermazione cos`i straordinaria.

Le dichiarazioni di Mitchell vanno calate nel contesto. Mitchell, come notano i commenti qui sotto, `e ben conosciuto da tempo per le sue affermazioni riguardanti i poteri paranormali: condusse privatamente degli esperimenti di telepatia durante la sua missione nel 1971. La cosa non deve stupire, perch'e era un periodo nel quale la parapsicologia era in auge. Qui trovate un articolo del 2003 che racconta in dettaglio gli esperimenti e i rapporti di Mitchell con il presunto sensitivo Uri Geller e offre vari esempi delle concezioni mistiche decisamente originali di Mitchell.

Gi`a nel 1973 aveva fondato l'Institute of Noetic Sciences per indagare sui fenomeni paranormali, e afferma (senza prove) di essere stato guarito dal cancro ai reni da un guaritore fra il 2003 e il 2004.

In altre parole: Mitchell `e stato un grande astronauta che ha sempre albergato idee trascendentali piuttosto estreme. E' perfettamente plausibile che un'esperienza intensissima come il viaggio nello spazio per sbarcare sul suolo di un altro corpo celeste abbia stimolato ulteriormente queste idee: chi non sarebbe spinto a pensieri mistici di fronte alla visione di tutto il nostro pianeta tanto lontano da poterlo coprire con il proprio pollice?

Non siamo dunque di fronte a uno scettico che presenta dei fatti concreti, ma a una persona con decenni di inclinazioni mistiche che presenta delle dicerie. Di conseguenza `e d'obbligo molta cautela prima di prendere per buone certe affermazioni.

Quest'episodio, con le reazioni istintive che ha provocato in molti, `e un caso classico della fallacia del cosiddetto "principio d'autorit`a": ci viene naturale fidarci delle persone che hanno ricoperto ruoli importanti e autorevoli, anche quando parlano di cose che stanno al di fuori della loro sfera di competenza. Mitchell `e stato un astronauta quarant'anni fa: ha imparato a fare cose tecniche assolutamente straordinarie, come pilotare il modulo lunare. Ma questo non gli conferisce competenze o autorevolezza in altri settori, come la parapsicologia, verso i quali anzi chi ha una preparazione scientifica `e particolarmente vulnerabile: il caso dei fisici Russell Targ e Harold Puthoff, gabbati dai giochi di prestigio di Uri Geller negli anni Settanta del secolo scorso, fece storia in questo senso.Scritto da Paolo Attivissimo per il blog Il Disinformatico.
