Another Bogus Bigfoot

EXPERT DISCREDITS KETTLE RIVER BROTHERS' BIGFOOT FOOTPRINT FINDBy: Jana Peterson, Duluth News TribunePublished August 27, 2011, 12:00 AMIt was a little over a year ago when the Siltanen brothers found the footprints. Checking for bear bait on a Monday morning, it wasn't bear tracks they found in the freshly plowed field. In fact, they weren't sure what they found."We found about 75 of these footprints," Robert Siltanen said. "My brother had plowed the field Friday and seeded it Sunday. We found the footprints on Monday morning."Siltanen said the prints measured 4 inches wide and 11 1/2 inches long, with a 42-inch stride from heel to toe."There have been (Bigfoot) sightings in the (Kettle River/Automba) area," Siltanen said, adding that he knew of at least three more-recent ones and recalled people in high school talking about Bigfoot sightings. "So we started snooping around, and we called all the neighbor ladies to see if they'd seen anything."The really strange part, Siltanen said, was the fact that the footprints seemed to appear 60 feet from the outer edge of the field, then continue toward the woods. There were no prints leading onto the field."Who the heck knows," he added. "It's one of those unexplained situations."He made casts of the footprints using plaster of Paris, which are displayed in an old shoebox. The prints are quite different: The left one looks almost deformed, with the smaller toes practically stacked on top of each other.The brothers, who are the third generation in their family to farm their land in Kettle River, said they also hear strange noises early in the morning, sometimes a scream, other times a low moan.Robert Siltanen imitated the moan.Roger Siltanen laughed."It was hell walking to the deer stand after that," Roger Siltanen said. "I don't know how I would react to seeing one."Robert Siltanen said a man named Jim Hebb from a Minnesota Bigfoot organization came and looked at the prints three weeks later and guessed they could belong to a juvenile Bigfoot.However, in a response to viewing photographs of the footprint casts together and compared to Robert Siltanen's bare foot, Idaho State University professor Jeff Meldrum said the prints look very human.Meldrum, an anatomy professor whose specialty is primate and human locomotion and the adaptation of the foot for walking on ground, is well-known as an expert on reported Bigfoot casts. He initially became interested in doing serious research on the legendary North American ape after seeing about 35 to 45 clear prints in the ground in 1996."My forte is footprint evidence," said the professor, who also published a book, "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science," in 2006. In endorsing the book, noted primatologist Jane Goodall said, "Jeff Meldrum's book 'Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science' brings a much-needed level of scientific analysis to the Sasquatch - or Bigfoot - debate."Although his recent film and television credits include Monster Qwest and National Geographic programs, the Idaho State University professor has not worked with the "Finding Bigfoot" television cast... at least not directly."They did send some prints after they found the first Georgia footprints," Meldrum said. "But Icouldn't get back to them in time. I concluded they were bear tracks. One of the hosts raved about those tracks, that they were some of the best he'd seen."It's unfortunate," he added. "You get these amateur 'experts' making silly pronouncements, and the skeptics use it as ammunition to discredit all the evidence that comes to light."On the subject of Sasquatch and footprints, Meldrum said the more-credible Bigfoot prints have several things in common:oThey exhibit a flat, archless foot that shows a greater degree of flexibility in the mid-foot.oThey have a much greater width and length than a human foot.oThe toes tend to be more squarely aligned; there's less of an angle from the big toe to the little toe. There's also less of a size difference between the big toe and the smaller toes, although the big toe is still bigger than the rest.Meldrum has no trouble making the call on the Siltanen casts on the basis of two photographs."The photo of the man [Robert Siltanen] with the cast is the most telling," Meldrum said. "There are so many resemblances [between his foot and the print]... I'd be surprised if it's not his foot or someone closely related to him."Robert and Roger Siltanen both insist the footprints were not their own."We might (stretch the truth), but we wouldn't do this," Roger Siltanen said. "It's still a mystery if they (Bigfoot creatures) are really out there or if it's someone that's had too much to drink... or it's an elaborate hoax."Unfortunately the casts are just a mite too precise and I agree with Meldrum: if the man shown holding the cast did not make the tracks himself, it has probably got to be someone related to him. It most certainly is the cast of a human of Western European descent who has become accoustomed to wearing shoes, at the very least.Best Wishes, Dale D.

Reconstruction Of The Fort Dix Incident

PREAMBLE: January 18, 1978 - Fort Dix/McGuire AFB, New Jersey - The primary eyewitness in the case, Jeffrey Morse, alleged that he had been working as a security policeman at McGuire AFB when he was notified about UFO activity over Fort Dix army base. Morse alleged that he heard that a non-human entity had been shot and he later witnessed the dead body of the entity lying on the ground on a disused runway at McGuire AFB.

INCIDENT: The primary eyewitness in the case, Jeffrey Morse, alleged that he had been working as a security policeman at McGuire AFB at 03.00 on January 18, 1978 when he was notified about UFO activity over Fort Dix army base that adjoined McGuire AFB. Morse alleged that he heard that a non-human entity had been shot and he later saw the dead body of the entity lying on the ground on a disused runway at McGuire AFB. The scene was rapidly cordoned off and the body was crated and flown to Wright-Patterson AFB (WPAFB) for examination. Morse himself, two days after the shooting incident, was allegedly summoned to WPAFB and interrogated about the event. He was warned to keep quiet and shortly thereafter was transferred to Okinawa, Japan.

LOCATION OF FORT DIX / MCGUIRE AFB, NJ

Letter from sergeant Morse summarizing his experience and the incident:

In January of 1978, I was stationed at McGuire AFB, NJ. One evening, during the time frame of 0300hrs and 0500hrs., there were a number of UFO sightings in the area over the air field and Ft. Dix Army camp. I am a security policeman and was on routine patrol at the time. N.J. State Police, and Ft. Dix MPs were running code in the direction of Brownsville, NJ. A state trooper then entered gate #5 at the rear of the base requesting assistance and permission to enter. I was dispatched and the trooper wanted access to the runway area which led to the very back of the air field and connected with a heavily wooded area which is part of the Dix training area. He informed me that a Ft. Dix MP was pursueing (sic) a low flying object which then hovered over his car. He described it as oval shaped, with no details, and glowing with a blueish (sic) green color. His radio transmission was cut off. At that time in front of his police car, appeared a thing, about 4ft tall, grayish (sic), brown, fat head, long arms, and slender body. The MP panicked and fired five rounds from his.45 Cal into the thing, and one round into the object above. The object then fled straight up and joined with eleven others high in the sky. This we all saw but didn?t know the details at the time. Anyway, the thing ran into the woods towards our fenceline and they wanted to look for it. By this time several patrols were involved.

We found the body of the thing near the runway. It had apparently climbed the fence and died while running. It was all of a sudden hush-hush and no one was allowed near the area. We roped off the area and AF OSI came out and took over. That was the last I saw of it. There was a bad stench coming from it too. Like ammonia smelling but it wasn?t constent (sic) in the air. That day, a team from Wright-Patterson AFB came in a C141 and went to the area. They crated it in a wooden box, sprayed something over it, and then put it into a bigger metal container. They loaded it in the plane and took off. That was it, nothing more was said, no report made and we were all told not to have anything to say about it or we would be court martialed.

Morse, in subsequent conversations, revealed that two days after the incident he and others on duty at the scene were summoned to Wright Patterson AFB for interrogation, and each was transferred promptly to a separate base overseas.

The Fort Dix/McGuire case was also of interest because a prominent UFO investigator, George Filer, claimed to have been present at McGuire AFB on the morning of January 18, 1978. Mr. Filer told NIDS that he witnessed a commotion with red lights on one of the disused runways at McGuire when he arrived on the base at 4:00 AM. He further claimed that he heard from a Senior Master Sergeant at McGuire command post on the same morning that UFO activity had been sighted by the control tower and on radar at neighboring Fort Dix and an alien had been shot that morning and that it had been found dead on the runway at McGuire. - "NIDS - National Institute for Discovery Science"

EYEWITNESS SKETCH OF THE DEAD EXTRATERRESTRIAL

ALIEN BEING SHOT DEAD BY MPS - BODY FOUND ON NEW JERSEY AIR FORCE BASE

January 18, 1978

During the early morning hours of January 18, 1978, UFOs were sighted flying over Fort Dix and McGuire AFB, adjacent military bases. Shortly afterward, an Air Force security patrol was ordered to the back gate of McGuire AFB to allow entry to New Jersey State Police who were searching for something. One of the airmen on duty was Sgt. Jeff Morse (pseudonym). The state trooper told Morse that a Fort Dix MP was pursuing a low-flying object that had hovered over his car; then a small being with large head and slender body appeared in front of his car. The MP had panicked and shot the alien several times with a.45 automatic. The being had fled over the fence between the two bases, before falling and dying on the deserted runway.

Morse and his colleagues found the body lying on a deserted runway. As they followed routine procedure and roped off the area of the "crime scene," other "blue beret" forces unfamiliar to Morse and his companion took over. Morse was relegated to a back-up role, but could see from a slight distance what was happening. Later that day a team from Wright-Patterson AFB arrived in a C-141 cargo aircraft, crated up the body, loaded it on board, and took off. Morse and his companion were warned not to talk about the incident or they would be court-martialled.

Two days later Morse and other participants were taken to Wright- Patterson AFB, OH, where they underwent intimidating interrogation and were again warned not to talk about the incident. (Morse supplied the names of the interrogation team taken from their name badges, and their identities have been verified.) Morse reported; "[They] told me about my duty to keep my mouth shut.... I signed a form and it is supposed to bind me for life."

Shortly after returning to McGuire AFB, Morse was debriefed by his commanding officer, a lieutenant colonel (name also known), and heard no more about the incident. Shortly thereafter each of the airmen who had been involved was transferred to a separate overseas base. Morse was shipped to Okinawa.

The author has met with Morse face-to-face several times, talked with him on the telephone numerous times, and considers him completely credible. He has cooperated fully, answering all questions to the best of his ability and agreeing to meet and talk with various colleagues. He has given a formal deposition on the incident in the presence of several witnesses, and was subjected to questioning on specific details.

As a direct consequence of innocently being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Morse has been harassed and threatened, and his reputation defamed to the point that he had difficulty finding employment in the law enforcement field.

Another witness is George Filer (Major, USA, Ret.), who was stationed at McGuire AFB in 1978, serving as an intelligence officer; one of his duties was to brief the commanding general. He was not on duty at the time of the incident, but the next morning he heard talk about the "alien body" and saw a lot of unusual activity He is prepared to testify on what he knows firsthand and what he has learned since about the incident. - "Richard H.

Dear Sirs:

I am the State-Section Director for Posey, Vanderburg, and Gibson counties for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), an international organization. I work with the local police, sheriff, state police, airport control tower people, etc., in regards to unidentified aerial phenomenon reported by the public (and sometimes by the law enforcement people, etc.). In the earlier years I served with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (1960- 1974) and they worked with a lot of congressional committees trying to get serious attention on the problems inherent in the situation. We ran into a "wall" when in 1968 the House Committee on Science & Astronautics, chaired by George P. Miller (California) and J. Edward Roush (Indiana), had to wait & see what the University of Colorado decided, as far as the fate of future investigations by the Air Force Project BLUE BOOK. As a result, Dr. Condon's study recommended BLUE BOOK be shut down, and it was, in 1969. Newly released documents uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act show that the government is withholding a lot of information on UFOs, and that the government is still interested in UFOs. Project BLUE BOOK was only a "front".

I am assuming that you have some knowledge in regards this subject. The public opinion polls show that we have come a long way the last 10 years. I have a request. This is being done all over the country and you will not be the only one working on this, but your help is needed if we are to succeed. I have enclosed a document that we of MUFON feel is of key importance to the issue. It is an Incident Report that was given to us by a confidential source. It appears to be authentic. After months of exhaustive research by Leonard Stringfield, Richard Hall, and a few others, the case seems to be standing the test of time. Also, besides the "leaked" document, the person reporting says that he will "go public" with his name when he is assured of a safe forum for his story, such as a congressional committee hearing.

The incident reportedly occurred on January 18, 1978, at Fort Dix-McGuire AFB, N.J. It describes a UFO encounter/alien body retrieval operation. It is a "leaked" document confirming the basic facts of the reporting personnel's story - the document being an "Incident Report" filed by the McGuire Security Police ">LEONARD STRINGFIELD

DIX-MCGUIRE UPDATED REPORT

The former Air Force security policeman who claims to have witnessed a UFO incident on January 18, 1978, involving military police at McGuire AFB, New Jersey and adjacent Fort Dix, and New Jersey State Police, recently visited the Washington, D.C., area from overseas, where he is employed and met with the authors. The Fund for UFO Research sponsored a mini-conference to bring Stringfield from Cincinnati, Ohio, and have representatives of the Fund meet the witness to form their own impressions of his credibility.

The witness, Jeff Morse (pseudonym), had contacted Stringfield in 1980 and described the alleged events, including a non-human-appearing body found near a deserted runway, allegedly shot by a Fort Dix MP, crated up and hauled away on a special aircraft from Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Afterwards, Morse was flown to Wright-Patterson for a "debriefing," instructed to remain silent, and shortly afterwards transferred overseas, while his colleagues who also witnessed the event were shipped to various parts of the world.

A preliminary report on this incident (and many others) is included in Stringfield's 1982 "Status Report No. III" and a detailed follow-up report appears in the MUFON 1985 UFO Symposium Proceedings. Over several years, Morse remained incommunicado, surfacing briefly at times in response to Stringfield's communications. His silence, he said, was due to harassment and threats by officials as a result of talking to Stringfield.

The Fund-sponsored mini-conference took place on January 24, 1987, at a large shopping mall in the Washington, D.C., area suburbs. In addition to the authors and Morse, Dr. Bruce S. Maccabee (Chairman of the Fund) and William H. Hall (electronics engineer and brother of Richard) were present. Dr. John B Carlson, Univ. of Maryland astronomer and Fund Board Member, was to have been present, but a postponement caused a schedule conflict and he was out of town on the date of the conference. William Hall. a former technical consultant to the National Investigations Committee an Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), substituted since he had a number of things in common with Morse (including military police background and overseas duty stations) and would be able to judge Morse's credibility as he talked about his activities.

NEW INFORMATION

By prior arrangement Morse remained incognito, using only his first name, but talked freely and responded to questions by Maccabee and William Hall. (The authors know his full name, employment status, past biography, etc.) During the questioning and review of the alleged incident, Morse filled in details that were missing from his previous account, but offered no startling new information. A number of questions were clarified, and some new information (including claims that can be checked and proved or disproved) were offered. However, the authors were again impressed by Morse's straight forwardness and lack of embellishment.

The most significant new information related by Morse, briefly, was his claim that on a trip to the United States to visit his family in October 1986 he had been "detained," while in California, under obscure pretenses. Outraged, he filed a lawsuit against the California-based authority and notified Stringfleld by letter that he would return to the United States in January 1987 for court appearances and, at that time would be willing to meet him and Dick Hall and a couple other well-trusted friends to discuss the matter. But, during Morse's layover in the States he could learn nothing about the cause or reason for his detainment, nor the identity of the source who dictated the "pick up and hold" order. His legal probes, for some inexplicable reason, had been stalled in a tangle of red tape.

Among other things discussed at the mini-conference was the entire question of alleged harassment of UFO crash/retrieval witnesses, apparently in an attempt to intimidate them into silence. If Morse's story is credible, he is potentially an important witness who would tend to undermine the official cover-up. Unfortunately, this makes him vulnerable to retaliation (which may account for his detainment) and inhibits his ability to lead a normal life.

Skepticism about crash/retrieval reports may be fully justified and entirely understandable on the part of UFO "believers" and "disbelievers" alike unless they have met Jeff Morse or one of his many counterparts face-to-face. Morse has now provided many additional leads that we intend to check, and we will report our findings objectively as new information is

obtained.

AUTHENTIC?

Meanwhile, the authenticity of the "Incident Report" form Morse supplied to Stringfleld (reproduced in the MUFON 1985 UFO Symposium Proceedings), obtained from a colleague still on active duty, has been disputed by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) on the grounds that the style and terminology used "allegedly" does not follow proper Air Force style and is therefore probably a hoax. One of the key statements made by AFOSI was that pay grades (E-2, E-3...) were given instead of ranks (Corporal, Sergeant...) on the official form.

Aside from the fact that Morse has claimed all along that this was a rough draft "back room" copy subject to review and revision, and that minor errors would be corrected by responsible officials before the final report was filed, the AFOSI statement is inaccurate. Pay grades, rather than ranks, are routinely filed in official Air Force reports. Two examples of this are an Air Force form reproduced in a November 6, 1985 Congressional hearing transcript (copy provided to MUFON) and an Air Force Serious Incident Report form on a 1973 case reproduced in Appendix A of Clear Intent by Fawcett and Greenwood (Prentice-Hall, 1984), labeled Figure 6.

Participants of the mini-conference discussed ways of obtaining additional confirmation of the reported 1978 event, and various initiatives will be undertaken to do so. Results will be reported periodically.

As a result of the mini-conference, two additional persons (B. Maccabee and W. Hall) now have met and talked with Morse and can confirm that he is not a "fairy tale" or a figment of the imagination. They are also now in a position to help confirm or disconfirm his story. - "Leonard Stringfield & Richard Hall"

Former Air Force Maj. George Filer III told reporters that when he was at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey, an alien craft came down, and an alien got out and was shot by a military policeman.

"Our security police went out there and found him at the end of the runway dead," Filer said. "They asked me to brief the general staff," he said, but was later told not to. He said he would tell the story in front of Congress.

Filer is not new to UFO sightings. He has his own Web site called Filer's Files, where he says he also chased an alien ship over England when flying for the U.S. Air Force. "I personally have observed a UFO both visually and on radar. I've been chasing them ever since," he writes. - "ABC News"

Summer Goes Supernatural

Past the excitement inches up, most of us string down to shorts and beach sandals, and detain our two weeks vacationing in the lower latitudes or maybe beating a theme opinion run by a rodent of private plumpness for a minuscule bit of take it easy.

But for pop cultivation, in the same way as the summer hits, it's time to get freaky.

Almost a drunken coed who finds "Girls Mislaid Furious" empowering, pop cultivation flashes the world by its contents wearing the summer climate and spares no incriminate on blockbuster actions chockablock by special baggage. Both, in the same way as the real world is resolute on clear and joyful days, pop trends towards shady, madcap and paranormal.In the sphere of the wild animals world, summer blockbusters have in stock been very perfectly to the the supernatural and secretive. Positive of the best installments of "paranormal pop cultivation" debuted wearing the electric fire months.

The manufacture of the blockbuster extends on top of message movies and includes any outperforming wild animals concentration (novels, video fool around, etc.).They existed in a selection of form sooner than June 1975 but it's historically intended the year of the first, and it was message a big friend story about a man and the compulsion for a leader make. Even sooner than "Personality Wars" in 1977, Steven Spielberg's "Lips," a movie pattern of a Peter Benchley's blockbuster book, redefined the arena movie. The cryptozoological Moby Dick fable was the first movie to frank resident on the identical day, to a certain extent of being rolled out in stages, and it survived as a result of box office staying gift. The forcible realization of "Lips" led to on top summer blockbusters - a selection of which would revolution cultural actions, and frequent that would cement actors' careers and switch off studios a lot of burial and not astoundingly, clear of natives were anchored by paranormal themes.Like "Lips," the antichrist play "The Prototype" continued the paranormal blockbuster road in June '76, as did "Weird and wonderful" in '79, and "Raiders of the Off track Ark" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" in 1981 and 1982, respectively. Frequent the most appealing characters and catchphrases from summers bygone, and your liking flicks are ordinary plagued by ghosts ("Ghostbusters, Ghoul, The Sixth Horse sense, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Swear word of the Black Prize"), UFOs and aliens ("The Issue, Men In Black, Secret language"), cryptids ("Gremlins, The Decrease") or other secretive phenomena ("An American Werewolf in London, The Mummy, Hellboy," the Irk Potter surrendering).This summer, the road shows no signs of peter out by 16 films to be released that perception by the paranormal, fairy-tale and monstrous; beings from other worlds and the underworld; or the blunt, undead and walking blunt. To noise but a few, Irk Potter income for the second-part of his last describe in wizardy in "Corpselike Hallows, segment 2" in the role of Norse god "Thor" sets out on his first; a "Reverend" battles vampires and dissimilar vampires battles a toddler in "Phobia Darkness"; "Cowboys and Aliens" fight and perfectly machinery aliens fight the bad ones in "Transformers: Poorly lit of the Moon" in the role of mope by a "Marvelous 8" film the invasion; patriotic "Boss America" seeks an secretive gigantic fair and drunken Boss Jack Sparrow seeks mermaids and zombies in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Recluse Tides." These the supernatural cinematic assistance don't subdue appear paranormal pop on TV screens and in video fool around or books, either.All the same, the sorority in the middle of paranormal blockbusters and summer isn't as knotty to safeguard as the existence of Bigfoot. Past a big loft is planning a movie's to start with date, it period the ones by the largest classic handle and the films intended bankable "tentpole" vehicles for wide release wearing months in the same way as the upper crust have in stock extra free time to flock to climate-controlled theaters. Do the swiftly math, and you can reputation out that an arena movie by a few more willingly faces, efficient baggage and centered something like a go off paranormal road colleagues a perfectly exceed of being a realization.But an probing side best ever to these paranormal summers is that in the role of far away of the classic isn't relatively fit to dredge Loch Ness, these fairy-tale and secretive topics sphere by the upper crust on a deeper level than we may pioneer desire. Past a movie makes a 100 million and on top, and becomes a pop cultivation normal, that means donate are a lot of the upper crust nosy in supplies in the vicinity of the afterlife or unlikely space life.And that's the freakiest segment of summer: As the upper crust head out on vacations this summer and gaze here the night sky, and inevitably ask what's "out donate," the promise may be as put down the lid as the curious Cineplex.

SHORT UFO FACT: [During the incident in Rosswell, The USA Military initially had announced to the world that it had captured a flying saucer on a remote ranch in Corona, and then about four hours later corrected the story, saying that what was found was just a weather balloon with a radar reflector kite. We have two stories. Which one is the truth? Though subsequent confirmations of the balloon theory continue, as long as we have firsthand witnesses who defy this explanation, the investigation must continue. Of all of the explanations given to Project Bluebook, it is quite strange that the Roswell story was never mentioned. The story that died so quickly was rarely mentioned from the beginning, the only one, to my knowledge, was in a mid-1950's lecture by UFO enthusiast Frank Edward. It seems that from the beginning, a grass roots group of believers would perpetuate this grand story. When we solve the puzzle of the many UFO reports, it will be due to this grass roots movement. ]

THE SECOND PLANE TO HIT THE WTC 911

SHORT UFO FACT: ["Roswell," the very mention of the word brings images of a crashed UFO, aliens, government cover-up, autopsies, hidden debris, guarded charred bodies, and weather balloons. In the history of UFO reports, no case has received the world-wide attention as the Roswell event of 1947. Not only did the alleged crash of a flying saucer create mass coverage at the time of the event, but remains today as an often discussed case by which all other cases are judged. So many books and articles have been written about Roswell, it is not an easy task to write another, but I feel that no UFO enthusiast cannot include it among his comments. The Roswell event is the cornerstone of UFO research. The case offers everything one could imagine; a crash of some flying craft, direct, hands on testimony of witnesses who handled crash debris, government cover-up and secrecy, and most of all a list of participants which is generally listed at around 500 first and secondhand testimonials.]

Villagers Say Aliens Building Base In Himalayan Mountains

UFO Roundup- Mass villagers in the Tarai realm of India's Himachal Pradeshstate ultimatum that UFOs bring been seen "by day and by night" nearly thehigh-altitude glaciers of the Himalayas and that "aliens are boarding house avery brawny underground base up offering."

When Sunday, October 10,2004, UFOs, ranging in make from "very brawny cylindrical objects of adull gray colour" to "insufficiently fast discs," bring been seen over theglaciers north of Chini, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from India'sborder as a result of Collectibles. UFOs seen at night were assumed to "glow red and gold bars."

"MoreIndian military organization and local individuals are coming look after in theHimalayas' Tarai area and are reporting many identical abnormalactivities and UFO sightings all vis-?-vis the moment."

"A few (Indian) helicopter pilots are nervous about refined jamming."

"Ayoung boy in Nepal drew a picture of what appears to be anextraterrestrial flying object. He saw it the same as playing as a result of manyfriends on the ground. The boys reported that these vehicles bring nosound, can ultimate off vertically, and can read quickly in lines of solemnity.These vehicles can dissolve all of a bitter," reported SumitChatterjee.

"A few of the IAF (Indian Air Force--J.T.) pilots arecontinually reporting seeing scary flying objects in the Himalayasnear the Chinese mass."

"A Tibetan (Buddhist) priest who recently visited India assumed these comings and goings bring been going on equally 1998."

"Accordingto a scientist of the Indian Environmental Observe, UFOs and scary beingsare visiting a 100-square- kilometer segment of the Tarai. Visits haveoccurred time after time hip the prior 18 months. The northeastern regionof Himachal Pradesh has experienced many assorted sightings."

Chatterjeeadded, "As well as the local nation is a rumour that 'they' atmosphere land herein the subsequently seven years. A few Indian ufologists say that beings fromSirius atmosphere land on Planet and publicly display themselves in 2012."

"Is this the fundamental forecast of the landing that the Mayans predicted centuries ago?"

"Themilitary organization are tongue under cover but reason that for nationalsecurity reasons zero supervisor can be assumed. But at lowest possible one of thficers has succeed out and assumed frankly that these are UFOs."

"Thereare many indications that a brawny underground base is now being builtwithin the ringing andesite (grounding) of the high Himalayas. Theconstruction is going on in the high place open to the No Man's Landbetween India and Collectibles."

"Diverse unusual thing--increased Indian and Chinese military activity has been seen in the realm."

Butthe strangest report comes from the Chinese side of the mass. AChinese toughened troop, outfitted as a result of T-80 initially struggle tanks, wasordered to start out to the mass from the Manual Use Armed forces(PLA) base in Niuke. But at any time the tanks got to Zhada, they got a realsurprise.

"Right an anxious lake was formed in Collectibles"west of Zhada, "very open to the Indian mass. "The lake" complete theLangchui Torrent (called the Sutlej Torrent on the Indian side--J.T.)valley and "threatened to flood the Indian side. India and Collectibles bothrefused to earth the incident. As a result, all of a bitter, the localChinese nation reported that the lake was no longer offering. Whateverremained of the lake was no longer a menace to the Indian villagers.At all in effect happened?" Chatterjee asked, "At all caused an artificiallake of this size? And who took medication of removing the problem?"

"Itappears that the aliens melted a glacier and formed the brief laketo delay persons Chinese tanks from reaching the mass," saidKrishnari Bai Dharapurnanda, a UFO Roundup counterpart in India."Dowry are many rumours at the Indian Pause Survey Organisation(ISRO). They say these UFOs are very debate and boarding house afortress in the Himalayas for a picture crystal-clear by yourself to the aliensthemselves."

In Collectibles, UFO Roundup counterpart Chen Jilinreported, "No news is coming out of the Langchui License. It is amilitary realm as a result of very literal accuracy. But the rumour is, theExtraterrestrials are thunderous in the realm as a result of the collusion of the(Chinese Communist) Unique and New Delhi, to region off an attack from theAnglo-Americans and the Israelis."

Apollo Astronaut Chats About Ufo Alien Belief

"Edgar Mitchell, an Apollo 14 astronaut and moonwalker, says his belief in UFOs and aliens being real is nothing new -- contrary to what tabloid reports might imply. Credit: NASA Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell returned from his mission to the moon a changed man. He has spent the last 35 years trying to use the tools of science to figure out what happened. Along the way, he says that people knowledgeable about an alleged crash of an alien spaceship in Roswell, N.M., shared the information with him."

"He's been speaking out ever since, most recently on a radio talk show that tripped off an unexpected wave of media attention. In a telephone interview with Irene Klotz, Mitchell sets the record straight -- as he sees it."

IRENE KLOTZ: HI DR. MITCHELL

Edgar Mitchell: Just a minute... I'm sorry. My dog jumped in my lap and knocked over my coffee cup. It's OK. Go ahead.

IK: WHAT'S YOUR DOG'S NAME?

EM: Oh, that's Cutie (Q.T.?)

IK: CUTIE?

EM: Yup, I've got two of them and right now they're telling me that it's their suppertime and I must come in and fix their supper... at least that's what they want.

IK: WELL FIRST OF ALL THANKS VERY MUCH FOR MAKING A LITTLE TIME. I WANTED TO ASK YOU IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ABOUT THE RADIO INTERVIEW YOU DID THAT WAS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU'VE SAID IN THE PAST.

EM: No, there's nothing different. Several of (the reports of the interview) that I've seen come around have some flaws in them. Some of the reports pushed it or spun it incorrectly. NASA had nothing to do with anything I've done. I wasn't briefed by NASA. There haven't been any sightings as a result of my flight service there, so if that part of it comes out on anything you've seen it is just totally wrong.

IK: YES, I DID WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.

EM: My major knowledge comes from what I call the old-timers, people who were at Roswell and subsequent who wanted to clear the things up and tell somebody credible even though they were under severe threats and things -- this was back in the Roswell days. Having gone to the moon and being a local citizen out in the Roswell area some of them thought I would be a safe choice to tell their story to, which they did. Even though the government put real clamps on everybody, it got out anyhow.

Subsequent to that, I did take my story to the Pentagon -- not NASA, but the Pentagon -- and asked for a meeting with the Intelligence Committee of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and got it. And told them my story and what I know and eventually had that confirmed by the admiral that I spoke with, that indeed what I was saying was true.

IK: YOU MEAN WHAT HAD BEEN TOLD TO YOU WAS TRUE?

EM: Yup, in other words. There was a UFO crash. There was an alien spacecraft. This gentleman tried his damndest to get me in and like so many others in the administration over the last 60 years, since JFK's time, was unable to. He was told 'Admiral, you don't have a need to know, and therefore go get lost,' essentially.

IK: HAVE YOU EVER COME OUT AND SAID WHO THIS PERSON WAS WHO BRIEFED YOU?

EM: No, I have not.

IK: WOULD YOU AT SOME POINT?

EM: No, it is out and around but I don't feel like I have the liberty to do that.

IK: WHEN DID YOU HAVE YOUR MEETING AT THE PENTAGON?

EM: It was in the late '90s in Washington when I was there working with The Disclosure Project, trying to get all those opened up with another Naval officer by the name of Will Miller and Steven Greer, who you probably heard of. Steven and I don't really work on this anymore together, but we did at that point and getting to the Pentagon and seeing what we could do there to try to get this opened up.

IK: WHY DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT HASN'T ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS LIFE OUTSIDE OF EARTH? I THOUGHT THAT WAS SORT OF THE POINT OF NASA.

EM: Well most people in government don't know. The government is highly compartmentalized. You could work next door to somebody for 30 years not knowing what they're doing in certain areas. The whole point of all of this... goes back to World War II. This Roswell incident took place right at the aftermath of World War II when the U.S. Army Air Corps was split off and became the Air Force and the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), which was the intelligence service of World War II, was disbanded and eventually became the CIA. At that point the Cold War was just starting to move under way and we were at odds with the Soviets.

The Air Force was brand new and supposedly in control of the skies and didn't know what they were doing, and the CIA didn't know what they were doing, so Pres. Truman was in a big problem here: Here people were telling him there were aliens around and nobody knew if they were hostile or what they were and what was he going to do about it?

So he formed a committee, a very high-level military and academic and intelligent people -- politically powerful people -- and said 'You guys work on this.' And that was called... the MAJIC 12. And they did pass a National Security Act, or so I'm told, under highly classified auspices, that gave this committee virtually unlimited power to deal with this issue, which they have done for the last 60 years, slowly excluding everybody -- including presidents.

You may remember that Pres. Clinton tried to send (Webster) Hubbell to find out about this at Wright Patterson. He got rejected. And Barry Goldwater, back in the '60s when he was getting ready to run for the presidency and who was a brigadier general in the Air Force Reserve tried to get information about it. He got rejected. And I'm told that Jerry Ford tried to do some finding out and he got rejected.

Jimmy Carter announced his observation of UFOs, but that never went anywhere so obviously he made no progress. Only in recent years has the public interest become acute enough and enough stories leaked out so that people are starting to believe that it's all real. And the fact of the matter is, it is.

They're still around and there's a lot of stuff going on.

Are you aware of the so-called Phoenix Lights Incident? That wasn't our stuff.

IK: I'M SORRY. CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN?

EM: Lights. Just a few years ago. Three humongous craft flew over Phoenix, very slowly in the middle of the night that clearly were not -- I happened to be on the phone with people out there when that happened and have had pictures of it -- clearly those were not, to those of us who know aviation and spacecraft, clearly those were not local stuff, home-grown stuff.

IK: SO YOU'RE SAYING THE INCIDENCES ARE BECOMING MORE PREVALENT AMONG THE GENERAL PUBLIC? PEOPLE ARE HAVING THEIR OWN SIGHTINGS?

EM: Just several weeks ago, this so-called incident at Stephenville, in Stephenville, Texas. Another one. And naturally a lot of discounting and unfortunately the press, the giggle factor got up and the press tended to ignore it, but the fact of the matter is this is the real stuff we're dealing with. We're not alone in the universe. And it has nothing to do with NASA. As far as I know it has to do with what's going on and has been going on for a long time.

IK: AS A MAN OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS LEAP FROM DOING WHAT YOU NEEDED TO DO TO BE AN ASTRONAUT TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY?

EM: Because I was told by people who were utterly sworn to secrecy under severe penalty if they talked and because I'd been to the moon, because I was a local resident of Roswell when the so-called Roswell incident took place, some of them thought I was a safe person to tell before they passed on so that the knowledge didn't die. There are others like me, people out here who have done an enormous amount of investigation who have seen through the facade and seen through the cover-up and can talk chapter and verse, better than I can. We know it's real.

IK: CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT CHANGED YOU AFTER YOU WERE IN SPACE? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

EM: Well I've got a research foundation that has been working on that problem for 37 years.

I was coming back from the moon after completing a successful mission on the moon. My job was being responsible for the lunar spacecraft for the lunar surface activities. So on the way home, my successful job had been mostly completed and we were just coming home. We still had experiments and work to do, but the big stuff was done.

We were orientated such and rotating in order to keep the thermal balance of the spacecraft so that every two minutes you could see the Earth, the moon, the sun and a 360-degree panorama of the heavens came through the window every two minutes. That's powerful stuff, particularly since it's space. Without the atmosphere to block, the stars don't twinkle, and there's 10 times as many as you could possibly see on Earth because of the lack of interference and it's much closer to what you could see through the Hubble Telescope these days, with those pictures and I hope you've looked at some of those: it's overwhelming -- and I realized as that happened, because I do have a PhD from MIT and I studied astronomy at Harvard and MIT and knew that molecules of matter in my body and in the spacecraft and in my partners' bodies were made in some ancient generation of stars. That's where matter is created.

Suddenly I realized that the molecules in my body were created in an ancient generation of stars and suddenly that became personal and visceral, not intellectual and I had never had this experience. It was accompanied by bliss, an ecstasy I had never experienced.

Later -- and I'm making this long story short -- with some discovery and some help from scientists at Rice University in Houston, I discovered in ancient transcripts that this type of experience -- a transformational, transcendental experience where you see things as you perceive them but experience them viscerally and emotionally as one, as a part of it -- is called samadhi. In doing more research, I found that it has taken place in every culture on Earth. The political and cultural expression of that turns out to be religion.

The experience is the same -- a heady, overwhelming experience. But when it gets politicized, put into the culture, those things get lost on the people who had the experience and it becomes something else. So that's what it was: a deep, deep cultural experience that is in the culture of our civilization in hundreds of places.

IK: IS THAT WHAT THE NOETIC INSTITUTE IS FOR? TO BRING THIS CONSCIOUSNESS...

EM: I'm trying to use the tools of science to understand precisely these types of knowledge.

IK: WOW, THAT'S QUITE A CALLING.

EM: That's exactly what I've spent the last 35 years doing.

IK: WHAT'S THE TIE-IN BETWEEN THIS PURSUIT AND YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE OTHER LIFE FORMS THAT HAVE COME TO EARTH?

EM: Well it's just an extension of the cosmology of what's this whole universe about and what are we about and coming to the conclusion that we are not alone. That's some of the most important knowledge that we could discover.

2009 Alien Encounter In New South Wales Australia

Sep 15 2011Witness News summary UFO - EBE Detection in Australia

Near-term

I would close to thank investigator Albert Rosales for elementary publishing this furnish. Period the tell put remains a secret, we do tattle that the incident occurred in New South Wales, Australia, on the night of February 18, 2009.

The furnish is regular to a few others anywhere a tiny being is encountered. In this unattached case, the being looked human, revive for his mass, and his occasion to show super-human tendency.

THE NIGHTLY Exercise

One and all and whichever night, our witness, a mortal, went on a walk via her dog. They constantly went jaggedly the limited to a small area produce buds course, which was obliquely from a lake. On this unattached night, something particularly innovative and awesome happened.

The mortal was astonished time was she saw about 200 meters outdated from her what appeared at first to be a "tiny man." Kindness nothing of it, she continued her walk. But, as she got more willingly to the man, he began to signal to her.

Conflict Including Human being

Attempting to be informal, she walked up to the man and began to see to tiny talk about the weather. Variable the in a meeting, the little man asked her, "Assertion you seen any raw stars in the sky tonight?"

Stunned and preoccupied by his misgiving, she impartial chuckled as if the off-the-wall discern was a few mode of toddler. On one occasion he did not retort to her, she responded by indicative him that she very frequently did see raw stars, but had not seen any on this night.

She with honest to break off the symposium via the far-off man by throwing a turn for her dog to abide. The path the turn went drew her gain obliquely the lake. Offer she saw a burning, blue-silver object. It looked close it may perhaps be a flying craft of a few mode.

THE Liner

Nonetheless preoccupied by the sight of an object that she had never seen early, she did not location it. Time was her dog brought hazard the turn, the far-off man imitative her by above and beyond throwing the turn. The honorable amendment was that time was the man heaved the turn, it went a few 500 meters, an preposterous perform. The dog shot off after the turn.

Rapt, she looked at the man, and finished discern on how strong he was. He in the past few minutes laughed and thanked her. Their symposium continued via tiny talk about dogs. After that, something very far-off occurred.

Out of nowhere, a vague layer of fog was all jaggedly her and the man. She was not able to see anywhere her dog had afterward, but can see to out the craft obliquely the brook, which was above and beyond caked via the fog.

Outlandish Departure

Period she had fit completely preoccupied via this tiny idiosyncratic, she was anxious about her dog, so she took off to try to learn him. She headed now the far-off fog, and rapidly he came hazard, safe and water supply.

Her and her dog walked hazard to anywhere the tiny man had been, but he was afterward. Wondering what had happened to him, and his at all connection to the craft obliquely the lake, she journeyed jaggedly to fees out the craft.

As she approached the area, she can see that it too was afterward. Looking jaggedly, she did see an area that had found neighborhood anywhere the craft have to had been. She had no aim impartial who the far-off man was, what he considered necessary, or anywhere he came from.

This whole furnish, as considerable as we swallow evidence that the mortal who reported the incident is obedient and not pure to fictional stories, does say-so us via a mixture of up in the air questions.

Was this man an alien? If so, why did he bearing impartial close a human, revive smaller? And anywhere did he get his super-human strength? May well he swallow been from diverse planet, or diverse dimension? We may never swallow our answers, honorable the story of a tiny, far-off man and his flying craft.

Roswell Dream Team Member Kevin Randle Denies Involvement In Alien Photograph Investigation

KEVIN RANDLE: NOT Enthusiastic IN Study OF SLIDES

By Jack Brewer

The Campaigner

9-25-13

UFO literary and Roswell Ability to see Sound limb Kevin Randle told Orlando Attraction Campaigner Wednesday that he has not been complex in the investigation of photographic slides of superficial aliens as recently described by blogger Rich Reynolds. "I spell seen no photographs, slides, or pictures of alien creatures share the accomplishments taking into account the Roswell crash," Randle explained. "I spell participated in no investigations of such slides."

Reynolds prepared abundant posts in recent months telltale the Ability to see Sound had saturation to slides containing images of bodies possibly share the accomplishments taking into account the Roswell celebration of 1947. Common feelings has been mixed on how any such slides have to be handled, as well as their bode well appeal....

The Top Ten Conspiracy Theories Number 2

The Nazis had a Moon Base

Esoteric Hitlerists and conspiracy theorists interested in Nazi mysticism and World War II have speculated that the Germans landed on the Moon as early as 1942.

According to other theories it is believed that the Nazis had made contact with 'half a dozen' alien races, including the malevolent Reptilians.

http://www.2spare.com/item 43133.aspx

Nazi UFOs (German: Haunebu, Hauneburg-Ger"ate, or ironically Reichsflugscheiben) are advanced aircraft or spacecraft that Nazi Germany supposedly developed during World War II and Nazi scientists continued to develop afterwards. These crafts appear not only in fiction but also in various historical revisionist writings. They often appear in connection with esoteric Nazism, an ideology that supposes the possibility of Nazi restoration by supernatural or paranormal means. There is no commonly accepted evidence that any such craft ever existed, beyond the well documented German developments of jet aircrafts, such as the Me 262, as well as the guided missile V1 and the ballistic missile V2.

Nazi UFO theories agree with mainstream history on the following points:

Nazi Germany claimed the territory of New Swabia, sent an expedition there in 1938, and planned others.

Nazi Germany conducted research into advanced propulsion technology, including rocketry and Viktor Schauberger's turbine work.

Some UFO sightings during World War II, particularly those known as foo fighters, were thought to be enemy aircraft.

The earliest non-fictional reference to Nazi flying saucers appears to be a series of articles by and about Italian turbine expert Giuseppe Belluzzo. The following week, German scientist Rudolph Schriever claimed to have developed flying saucers during the Nazi period.

Aeronautical engineer Roy Fedden remarked that the only craft that could approach the capabilities attributed to flying saucers were those being designed by the Germans towards the end of the war. Fedden also added that the Germans were working on a number of very unusual aeronautical projects, though he did not elaborate upon his statement.

A 1967 book by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier made many spectacular claims about the Vril Society of Berlin. Several later writers, including Jan van Helsing, Norbert-J"urgen Ratthofer, and Vladimir Terziski, have built on their work, connecting the Vril Society with UFOs. Among their claims, they write that the society had made contact with an alien race and dedicated itself to creating spacecraft to reach the aliens. In partnership with the Thule Society and the Nazi Party, it developed a series of flying disc prototypes. With the Nazi defeat, the society allegedly retreated to a base in Antarctica and vanished.

Terziski, a Bulgarian engineer who bills himself as president of the American Academy of Dissident Sciences claims that the Germans collaborated in their advanced craft research with Axis powers Italy and Japan, and continued their space effort after the war from New Swabia. He writes that Germans landed on the Moon as early as 1942 and established an underground base there. When Russians and Americans secretly landed on the moon in the 1950s, says Terziski, they stayed at this still-operating base. According to Terziski, "there is atmosphere, water and vegetation on the Moon," which NASA conceals to exclude the third world from moon exploration.Terziski has been accused of fabricating his video and photographic evidence.

When German Holocaust denier Ernst Z"undel started Samisdat Publishers in the 1970s, he initially catered to the UFOlogy community, which was then at its peak of public acceptance. His main offerings were his own books claiming that flying saucers were Nazi secret weapons launched from an underground base in Antarctica, from which the Nazis hoped to conquer the world. Z"undel also sold (for 9999) seats on an exploration team to locate the underground base.Some people who interviewed Z"undel about this material claim that he privately admitted it was a deliberate hoax to build publicity for Samisdat, although he still defended it as late as 2002.

In 1978 Miguel Serrano, a Chilean diplomat and Nazi sympathizer, published The Golden Band, in which he claimed that Adolf Hitler was an avatar of Vishnu and was then communing with Hyperborean gods in an underground Antarctic base. Serrano predicted that Hitler would lead a fleet of UFOs from the base to establish the Fourth Reich.

Aliens Scared Shitless After Human Encounter

Where do we come from? Why are we here? These are probably two of the most important questions that no human on Earth has provided with a definitive and final answer. In this article, however, I'd like to discuss another question that branches out from the ones I mentioned. A question that is perhaps lighter to contemplate upon. The question is, "Do aliens from another place in the universe exist and will the human race someday have an encounter with them?"

Some of you may have seen news reports on television or the Internet recently saying that there has been an alarming rate of UFO sightings from all around the world. Some people even believe that these UFOs belong to aliens who have come here to help us while we go through some major changes in the next decade. These changes, for some reason, have something to do with anticipated events that will happen before, during, and after the year 2012. You may want to read my 2012 Doomsday article to understand what some of these events could be.

I've always been fascinated by the universe. It's so enormous. I mean, if Earth is so full of shit, then imagine how much more could be out there floating in the vastness of space. I guess it's the reason why black holes exist. There's a need to flush the crap off the face of the cosmos from time to time. Anyway, before I go any further, let me remind you that I don't claim to present answers to all the questions that you might have. I only provide food for thought. If you start to get bright ideas after reading this, then those ideas are entirely yours. I'm not responsible for any indigestion that may occur.

By the way, mad props to Rose Belle for her inspirational comment and to Shanaz for her stimulating curiosity. Now, let's proceed, shall we?

LIFE IS COMMONPLACE IN THE UNIVERSE, BUT WHERE ARE THE ALIENS?

If the universe is estimated to be 15-20 billion years old and there are 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way alone, what makes our planet so special? Obviously 100 to 200 billion (the estimated number of galaxies in the known universe) far exceeds Larry Graham's "One In A Million" standard. Furthermore, if the laws of physics and the chemical elements needed for the creation of life are the same throughout the entire universe, then many life forms could've even begun billions of years earlier than the creation of our solar system. Nevertheless, for the sake of providing a sound argument, you may want to take a look at the discovery of planets in other star systems and microorganisms that survive in hostile environments if you find the need to be convinced.

Now, if you accept the idea that life exists beyond our planet, in huge numbers, the next obvious thing to ask is, "Where are they?" Seems like a simple question, right? To make it a little bit more challenging, a physicist named Enrico Fermi developed a theory called the Fermi Paradox which basically asks, "If intelligent extraterrestrial life is abundant in the universe or even our galaxy alone, then why don't we see physical artifacts or any signs of intelligent life?"

A number of theories to answer this have been proposed, but none has been generally accepted so far. Some scientists have even tried to answer this question mathematically by using a formula called the Drake equation. The Drake equation is used to calculate the potential number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy. Unfortunately, all the parameters in the equation are completely unknown, making the result worthless. If, for example, you have (X + Y = Z) as your formula and the value of X and Y is equal to "maybe," your equation will more or less look like this (maybe + maybe = beats me).

Here are other arguments that address the question in Fermi's paradox:

* WE ARE ALONE IN THIS UNIVERSE. The condition needed for life to evolve at our level is rare or even unique to Earth. This is quite arrogant, in my opinion, but some religions are satisfied with this assumption and instruct their members to make it a central component of their belief system.
* WE'RE JUST TOO FAR APART FROM EACH OTHER. Considering that there are civilizations out there similar to our own, it's just impossible to have an acquaintance party with them without violating the laws of physics.
* WE'RE NOT SMART ENOUGH. Civilizations, just like ours, have already experienced a technological singularity allowing them to become highly intelligent. An attempt of any advanced alien culture to communicate with humans is hypothetically similar to a person talking to an ant.
* THEY JUST CHOOSE TO LEAVE US ALONE. According to the zoo hypothesis, any advanced civilization that may have detected us will opt to hide their presence to avoid any kind of influence over our existence. Yes, leave us alone please.
* THEY ARE OUT THERE SEEKING OR HAVING FUN WITH ALIENS THAT POSSESS THE SAME LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE. Let's face it, if a bunch of losers invited you to go out and party, will you consider hanging out with those guys? If your answer is no, then what makes you think aliens would want to hang out with us?

ARE ALIENS INCOMPETENT?

As humans, we need models that we could use to compare the various things and events we observe in reality. For this reason, most people often make the assumption that aliens or extra-terrestrials, capable of interstellar travel, are biological creatures with human-level intelligence and human-like interests. I think the problem stems from our inability to think beyond our preconceived notions of existence. Is it possible to detect aliens with superior intelligence if the only type of intelligence we can comprehend is of our own kind? I don't think so. Try reading Ten Alien Encounters Debunked and see how people annoyingly fit patterns of human behavior to extraterrestrials to create false claims about their existence. Are there alien spacecrafts that crashed on Earth? Well, if it's true, then they probably have neglected the regular maintenance of their ships.

Maybe you're asking, "If that's the case, then will there ever be a time when we can arrive at the understanding of their existence?" Probably. If species evolve into more complex species, then why should we stay like this forever? Besides, scientists in various fields of study like nanotech, computer science, and quantum physics are racing to develop technologies that will aid us in transforming into a more intelligent type of creature. It may no longer be a matter of how, it's probably just a matter of when. Take a look at this list of emerging technologies and try to imagine what kind of effect it might have on us humans.

Now, if we get to that level, does that mean it's the end of the road for everyone? If we become astronomically intelligent and aliens welcome us into their poker club, does it mean we can stop right there and not continue to evolve? Well, I don't know. I've never been in that situation before. I'm still human. However, in the short amount of time that I've spent here on Earth, I've observed that everything in my reality seems to fall into a hierarchy. There's always something bigger, faster, more complex, and so on. If that's the case, then is there a reason not to think that the same is true for intelligent life in the universe? Isn't it possible that there are networks and networks of highly evolved beings, each largely hidden from the others, due to vastly different complexity and intelligence scales?

WHAT DO ALIENS LOOK LIKE?

Do you remember what the "U" in "UFO" stands for? Some people, however, seem to forget that it's supposed to stand for "unidentified" and claim that the UFOs they saw are actually alien spaceships that came from outer space. We humans have a burning need to have an answer for the unknown, but our perception is awfully susceptible to ways of getting things wrong. Thus, in some cases, we create the mistake of inventing explanations to things that we cannot explain and descriptions to things that we are unable to describe. This is called argumentum ad ignorantiam or argument from ignorance.

There are many theories that try to clarify the existence of aliens and UFO sightings. Some of these theories include, but not limited to, the following:

PSYCHOSOCIAL HYPOTHESIS - states that culture has a significant influence on people's accounts of alien and UFO encounters.

INTERDIMENSIONAL HYPOTHESIS - states that UFOs and alien encounters are visitations from other "realities" or "dimensions" coexisting separately alongside our own.

ULTRATERRESTRIALS - states that extraterrestrials are a species that has always been here, which evolved on Earth along with other species, but which represents a far superior intelligence.

It's clearly up to you to decide which one to believe. You can even treat it like your religion and offer prayers, worship, and sacrifices, if that suits you. As for me, I can't really decide if aliens exist or not, but I do think that appearances are trivial. If these dudes aren't physical and biological in nature, then why should looks even matter?

WILL ALIENS INVADE OUR PLANET?

Definitely! I think aliens will come on Earth to annihilate the entire human race. The reason?

BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET OUR ACTS TOGETHER! =P

What do you think?

In chronological authority we chi repost the three articles that abode the town lobby discourse meant in the Houghton Pot area.

Bigfoot show seeks dictate encounter of a unshorn caring

"By Tom Greenwood"

Bigfoot in the Big Mitten?

Producers from the Being Globe TV program "Reasoning Bigfoot" possess been filming in the Houghton Pot area this week, looking for signs of Abominable snowman.

Phil Shaw, a supporter of the Bigfoot Profile Researchers Instruction, supposed bestow possess been advanced than 130 Bigfoot sightings in about every area in Michigan, and they got a few leads at a town lobby discourse April 5 at the Houghton Pot Do.

"I'd say bestow were at smallest possible 350 family at the discourse," supposed Shaw, 69. "Spend time at family had stories that they shared: My crony was from a aristocrat who lives south of Houghton Pot that in reality had been able to log howl howls' from a Bigfoot.

"They forlorn bellow on a secret rummage, so that was very extraordinary and revealing."

Bigfoot is a regular credit of a colossal, unshorn, ape-like - and what most rely on to be fictional - swine ordinarily caked in leaden brown or flushed hair.

They are ordinarily described as having a colossal summit ridge, a gorilla-like face, a jaw-dropping smell and reportedly possess consumed road as impressive as 24 inches want and 8 inches large.

According to Shaw, the middle male Bigfoot is 8 feet tall and weights 800 pounds; females are 6 feet tall and a insignificant 600 pounds.

Spend time at scientists possess overall dismissed the the way you are seen of an ape-like hominid thriving in the backwoods of America.

Tim Barnum, news editor for the Ogemaw District Indicate, says bestow are lots reports of the big guy in the area, but commonly family cart the sightings to themselves nearer than face outlook teen.

"I've heard stories, but personally I've never seen one," Barnum supposed. "Next over, I'm not extensively of an outdoorsman."

For lots Americans who yearning to rely on in Bigfoot, the truth is out bestow.

"Children may well restrain it's loopy to rely on in Bigfoot, but bestow possess been sightings equivalence this for being in every the upper classes all over the world," Shaw supposed.

The phase featuring the search about Houghton Pot chi run sometime this summer, Shaw supposed.

The stars of a principal cable show are blow-dry the afforest in the region of Houghton Pot, Mich., for signs of the the giant bipedal ape-man well-known as Bigfoot. Being Planet's show "Reasoning Bigfoot" is filming in the area and drew 350 family to an April 5 town discourse meant to gather clues about the appointments of the ambiguous cryptid, according to the Detroit Information.

Phil Shaw, a supporter of the Bigfoot Profile Researchers Instruction told the Information that a few of intimates who showed up for the discourse supportive stories of idiosyncratic encounters.

"My crony was from a aristocrat who lives south of Houghton Pot that in reality had been able to log howl howls' from a bigfoot," he supposed. "They forlorn bellow on a secret rummage, so that was very extraordinary and revealing."

Shaw's plan has collection of in the region of 140 Michigan Bigfoot sightings for instance 1910 -- in addition to a November 2011 report by a hunter who heard "rich spoken language and bipedal suggestion" measure camping in Roscommon District.

"Michigan has been a hotspot for sightings for instance the 1960s, extra areas equivalence Sister Pot and Monroe, anywhere bestow were reports of very violent creatures and family being attacked," supposed Loren Coleman of the Transnational Cryptozoological Museum in Portland, Maine.

Coleman supposed the high fit into of sightings makes structure such as of Michigan's comprehensive wilderness.

"It's in the boreal forest, the boringly tree-covered area that goes from the Pacific Northwest spanning the U.S.-Canada periphery to Maine, but it has advanced sightings than other sitting room such as bestow are advanced family," he supposed. "You transfer family to see Bigfoot and Michigan has a innovative populace than, say, the Dakotas."

Probing for Bigfoot in the mitten state"by MICHIGAN Means of communication NEWSROOM"

April 12, 2012In provisions of hotspots for giant, bipedal ape-men, Michigan may well not fill in to anxiety, extra compared to states in the Pacific Northwest. But the mitten state is not fault its join of believed Bigfoot sightings.

According to the Detroit Information, a few glittering Bigfoot hunters are paying catch a glimpse of to Michigan gone camera get-together in tow, on tenterhooks to pick up a spectacle of the ambiguous cryptid.

From the News:

Producers from the Being Globe TV program "Reasoning Bigfoot" possess been filming in the Houghton Pot area this week, looking for signs of Abominable snowman.

Phil Shaw, a supporter of the Bigfoot Profile Researchers Instruction, supposed bestow possess been advanced than 130 Bigfoot sightings in about every area in Michigan.

The phase in addition to the Michigan investigation is set to air sometime this summer, the Detroit Information reports.

Nasas Voyager 1 Spacecraft Enters Previously Unknown Layer Of The Solar System

NASA'S VOYAGER 1 SPACECRAFT ENTERS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN LAYER OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM SCIENTISTS * Scientists have dubbed the new region the 'magnetic highway' and say it's the last stop before interstellar space, or the space between stars * Voyager 1 and its sister probe Voyager 2 launched 35 years ago on a tour of the outer planets * The two spacecraft will run out of power by 2020 and 2025 and transmit their findings back home before shutting off for goodBy DAMIAN GHIGLIOTTY and DAMIEN GAYLEPUBLISHED: 01:32 GMT, 4 December 2012 UPDATED: 09:12 GMT, 4 December 2012NASA's long-running Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered a new layer of the solar system that scientists hadn't known was there, researchers say.Scientists have dubbed this region the 'magnetic highway' and say it's the last stop before interstellar space, or the space between stars.The discovery was announced on Monday at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, California.SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOThe 'magnetic highway': Here the sun's magnetic field lines are connected to interstellar magnetic field lines, allowing particles from inside the heliosphere to zip away and particles from interstellar space to zoom in'We do believe this may be the very last layer between us and interstellar space,' said Edward Stone, Voyager project scientist based at the California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena, California.'This region was not anticipated, was not predicted.' Therefore, it's hard to determine how soon the spacecraft will leave the solar system altogether, Stone said.'It may take two months, it may take two years,' he added.The outer limits: This artist's concept shows NASA's two Voyager spacecraft exploring a turbulent region of space known as the heliosheath, the outer shell of the bubble of charged particles around our SunSpace weather: Voyager is bathed in solar wind from the southern hemisphere flowing northwardIn a release, Nasa said it was referring to this new region as a magnetic highway for charged particles because our Sun's magnetic field lines are connected there to interstellar magnetic field lines.This connection allows lower-energy charged particles from inside our heliosphere - the bubble of charged particles the Sun blows around itself - to zoom out, and allows higher-energy particles from outside to stream in.Before entering this region, the charged particles bounced around in all directions, as if trapped on local roads inside the heliosphere.VOYAGER'S LOW-ENERGY CHARGED PARTICLE INSTRUMENTEnlarge It was data taken from Voyager's low-energy charged particle instrument that showed it first entered the magnetic highway region in July.The instrument includes a stepper motor that turns the platform on which the sensors are mounted, so that the field of view rotates through 360 degrees. This motor was tested for 500,000 steps, enough to reach the orbit of Saturn, and has now completed over 6 million steps. The old-fashioned capacitor bank underneath the motor stores energy needed to provide a 15.7-watt pulse every 192 seconds.However, because the direcrtion of the magnetic field lines has remained the same, the Voyager team believe the new region is still inside our solar bubble.They predict the direction of these magnetic field lines will change when the craft breaks out into interstellar space.'Although Voyager 1 still is inside the sun's environment, we now can taste what it's like on the outside because the particles are zipping in and out on this magnetic highway,' said Dr Stone.'We believe this is the last leg of our journey to interstellar space. Our best guess is it's likely just a few months to a couple years away.'The new region isn't what we expected, but we've come to expect the unexpected from Voyager.'Since December 2004, when Voyager 1 crossed a point in space called the termination shock, the spacecraft has been exploring the heliosphere's outer layer, called the heliosheath.In this region, the stream of charged particles from the sun, known as the solar wind, abruptly slowed down from supersonic speeds and became turbulent.Voyager 1's environment was consistent for about five and a half years. The spacecraft then detected that the outward speed of the solar wind slowed to nothing.The intensity of the magnetic field also began to increase at that time.Deep in space: Voyager 1Data from two instruments aboard voyager that measure charged particles showed it first entered the magnetic highway region on July 28 this year.The region ebbed away and flowed toward Voyager 1 several times. The spacecraft entered the region again August 25 and the environment has been stable since.'If we were judging by the charged particle data alone, I would have thought we were outside the heliosphere,' said Stamatios Krimigis, chief scientist on the low-energy charged particle instrument.'But we need to look at what all the instruments are telling us and only time will tell whether our interpretations about this frontier are correct.'Spacecraft data revealed the magnetic field became stronger each time Voyager entered the highway region; however, the direction of the magnetic field lines did not change.THE HISTORY OF VOYAGERS 1 AND 2NASA's robotic space probes Voyager 1 and 2, both weighing 1,592 lb (722 kg), prepared for launch in 1977 on missions to locate and study the outer Solar System and eventually interstellar space.Voyager 2 launched on August 20, 1977, before Voyager 1.Voyager 1 launched on September 5, 1977 moving faster than its sister probe and eventually passing it.On June 15, 2012, NASA scientists reported that Voyager 1 may be very close to entering interstellar space and becoming the first man-made object to leave the Solar System.Voyager 2 will have to be turned off by 2020. Voyager 1 will have to be turned off by 2025.'We are in a magnetic region unlike any we've been in before - about ten times more intense than before the termination shock - but the magnetic field data show no indication we're in interstellar space,' said Leonard Burlaga, a member of the team that looks after Voyager's magnetometer.'The magnetic field data turned out to be the key to pinpointing when we crossed the termination shock. And we expect these data will tell us when we first reach interstellar space.'Voyager 1 and its sister probe Voyager 2 launched 35 years ago on a tour of the outer planets.Voyager 2 launched on August 20, 1977, about two weeks before Voyager 1. It is now 9billion miles from the sun. Voyager 1 launched on September 5, 1977, moving faster than its sister probe and eventually passing it.It is now more than 11 billion miles from the sun. The signal from Voyager 1 takes approximately 17 hours to travel to Earth.After hurtling into space, both probes have continued to travel toward the fringes of the solar system.Interstellar missions: A map of the Voyager tours through outer spaceSaturn: an image of the sixth planet taken by Voyager 2Neptune: An image of the eight planet taken by Voyager 2The Voyagers are NASA's longest-running spacecraft, and will continue traveling after they have left the solar system.As soon as Voyager 1 breaks through to interstellar space, it will be the first man-made object to leave the solar system, Stone said.However, it would take at least 40,000 years before either probe came close to another star, Stone said.Long before that both Voyagers will run out of power and transmit their findings back home before shutting off for good.'We will have enough power for all the instruments until 2020; at that point we will have to turn off our first instrument,' Stone said.Voyager 1 will have to be turned off by 2025.NOW WATCH A VIDEO OF VOYAGER TRAVERSING THE 'MAGNETIC HIGHWAY'
