Alex Jones, the man behind the more active and verbose revolution of truth underway in our times is back with another shocking revelation about the shadow government that runs America, the bankers and their covert Government control in his latest Truth Documentary called 'The Obama Deception'. Obama is a man of strong words and the message of change we can believe has moved billions across the world. The world wants to believe in a 'Superman' President who seeks nothing but the truth and is here to free America and the rest of the world from a tyrannical system which enslaves the masses through the manipulative control of money and power. On the contrary this has not been the case so far with U.S. Troops still in Iraq and additional troops being sent to Afghanistan.
DAVID WILCOCK ON THE ANTI-OBAMA MOVEMENT
" I have never taken as much abuse for this policy as I have since Obama became a major Presidential candidate, and particularly since he won the election and instantly became the new epicenter of online conspiracy theorists' "rage against the machine."
Neither Alex Jones nor Jeff Rense, the two biggest players in the anti-Obama conspiracy media, seem to be aware of the massive amount of lies and propaganda being written and fed to them from within the Neocon and Illuminati factions themselves, causing them to deliberately overlook the vast majority of evidence that counters their established positions.
I respect both of these men for their courage, bravery and intelligence. I have active subscriptions to both of their MP3 archives. I have been reading both of their websites since I first got online in 1995. I have never been invited to appear on either of their shows, which is fine. I sincerely hope their information is never obstructed, as historically it has been extremely beneficial to know these things and be aware of the bigger picture.
Jeff's site used to go into a lot more detail about UFOs and the hopeful aspects of what is going on in the world, and it has changed quite a bit in the last several years. James Neff's beautiful CG animations of UFOs in the sky have now been replaced by David Dees' inflammatory political graphics, and the bulk of writers seem to be more negative, sarcastic and savagely opinionated than I ever remember them being in the past.
I seem to be one of the only scholars out there who is simultaneously aware of the insider politics and has not joined the nearly-unanimous anti-Obama internet conspiracy brigade. Does this mean I'm hopelessly wrong and lost? Time will tell. Time will tell. "
The game of deception goes on until it has to and then emerges the inevitable truth. There are many who believe in Obama and keep him protected, holding him dear in their thoughts and prayers. The deepest truth of Oneness that binds us with all creation sees no difference between Hitler, Plato, Shakespeare, Rockefeller, members of the Bilderberg group, Bush, Obama, You, me and all that we can see... all that is, was and will ever be... Love is the energy which transforms all.... We are one consciousness... we are the one's we've been waiting for. The power of thought and the magic of manifestation is every increasing in these times and if you just pay a little silent attention to your waking life, you will see the power of thought manifestation in the amazing synchronicity you are an integral part of !
To Love is to be at peace... :)

I was translating, as it is a split of my work, a testimony on little known Buddhist measures, and came across the similar to image:The addition is referred to as the "Buddha-crown"; it is that of the iconographic top of the Buddha-head, which is on view between an extra, infinitesimal jerk on top. It represents the appearance of the Supermind on top of the head, and it is sometimes referred to as a "fleshly heap."
Hand over are personifications of this iconic form, the most famous one being called the "Golden Joystick." The Chinese logogram for wheel can likewise be translated as surround,' and the connection of "surround" to this shape is absolutely spicy. The Golden Joystick or Golden Go around is the awakened modality of the alert fabrication, and it is embedded to be the central "deity" between admiration to the Zodiac, Lunar Mansions, the planets, stars, and galaxies.
My interpretation of the ancient iconography, between admiration to the context at hand, is to some extent Jungian, in that I do not give your opinion, say, the famous Adamski-type flying saucer to contain ontological authority over the Plaque iconography (i.e., in expressions of the point of view of the E. von D"aniken "ancient aliens" demonstrate); I imagine that I would be otherwise putting the cart in front the horse. I am not discounting the ancient-aliens point of view wholesale across the shooting lodge, let put on be no misunderstanding; I move the tables voice, proper now, between admiration to this positive suspect modestly.
Adamski-type UFO
My conclusion is as follows, and I am applying the "Feline Approach" ("c.f." blog article "A Feline Approach to UFOs and 'Aliens'" January 26, 2011) per my own suggestion: Golden Joystick or Golden Go around is the figurine of the unifying whole of the Mandala-body, the Circular Total (which is unstated in the term 'Mandala'), in this manner, the figurine represents the overarching guideline of the Invention, and as a result, of the stars, constellations, galaxies, etc. This resonance is cleverly tell somebody to in all aspects of being as a toddler, inasmuch as "whatever thing" is star-stuff. As follows the ontological authority of the morphic regulate of the Golden Go around. Now the UFO can be embedded between admiration to the best of the phenomenon of the time morphic resonance of the figurine itself which manifests in involved forms of UFOs
among other matter, of course
but why the UFO?
Such as the very (shared) "computerized" mark as such of the UFO is that of a flying saucer, a flying "surround", a flying circle, which in all emergency has on view itself to contain departure morphisms. They "fly", i.e., they point of view from option "space", option amount, option world; they annoy in stifle and unfathomable patterns. So, outfit apart from following their stow respect, they web between our computerized belief of what a supernal vehicle of supernal beings who are substantial legislative body and "humanoid"
would be; they would contain to be homomorphisms of their ontological "arche", the Golden Go around, the figurine of the mandalic whole. The phallic punch accurately wouldn't cut it (unless of course we muscle be attitude in expressions of the vehicle of self-assured Reptilians).
At length, a trough detect between add up to Ancestry, in fabrication "contact" between the resonance of the "arche" of its flying homomorphisms. The hand-gesture (called "mudra") that is called the "flummox" is that which channels, associated between sweeping sounds (pin down a spasm powerful for yourself) and image, the loaded, subtle regulate that interweaves between the Mandalic, substantial respect of the Golden Go around (this is monotonous esoteric-tantric exploitation, by the way). The hand-gesture is likened to that which is prepared each time scooping water to sprinkle your face, for copy. More exactly of being all-cerebral, the "Feline Approach" necessity likewise be a burden usage(s) for interweaving between the resonance of UFOs, and in this manner of the Mind-UFOs as well, flying in inscrutable space of the recesses of consciousness.

Is ET a summer surf nut? UFO spottings on Central Coast of NSW March 29, 2010.
UFO Research NSW secretary Joann Kanda helps organise the meetings to discuss their mysterious sightings.
THERE'S something strange happening in the skies over a little patch of our pristine holiday coast.
The suburbs around Gosford, on the Central Coast in NSW, are the state's biggest hot spot when it comes to UFO sightings, with dozens of seemingly authentic cases reported every year, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Each month, as many as 30 people turn up to meetings to share their UFO experiences.
UFO Research NSW secretary Joann Kanda, who helps organise the meetings, saw what she believed was a UFO near her home at The Entrance in the mid-1990s.
"It was just a sort of a glowing light in the middle of the night," she said.
"The dogs made a strange noise and I got up. There was something up in the sky with a greenish glow."
The region was the scene for one of Australia's most baffling UFO cases - a series of sightings in 1995 and 1996 - that were reported by police and many other credible witnesses.
Residents have told of seeing shiny, spherical, illuminated UFOs that often hovered above water.
UFO Research NSW's Doug Moffett said UFOs were commonly spotted over water or near power plants and the Central Coast had plenty of both.
The geography of the Central Coast may also play a part. It is heavily populated in parts, which means there are people around to spot UFOs, but still isolated enough for them to be visible in the night sky.
"What UFOs do is, largely speaking, covert in nature. They're obviously not landing at the steps of the Opera House and saying, 'Take me to your leader'," Mr Moffett said.
The UFO and Paranormal Research Society of NSW said the Blue Mountains also figured heavily in UFO sighting reports.
A group of enthusiasts spent the weekend in the mountains searching for UFOs they say visit the area each year in the last week of March.
One of the group, who declined to be named, said that in past years the craft had appeared above the Burragorang Valley, beyond Jenolan Caves, and were seen to hover for some time.
Several readers have reported seeing UFOs near Wollongong a week ago.
One said that about 8.15pm last Sunday, a trio of orange lights appeared overhead grouped in a triangular formation and moved silently through the air.
"There were probably another four in a straight line from Stanwell Park directly over our place," he said.

AREA 51
Area 51 (officially known as Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3 and also known as Dreamland, Watertown Strip, Paradise Ranch, The Box, Groom Lake, Neverland, and other names) is a remote tract of land in the southwestern portion of Lincoln County in southern Nevada, located at 37^014'20'N 115^048'58'W / 37.239, -115.816, at the southern edge of a large dry salt flat called Groom Lake. It lies within the Nevada Test and Training Range and is owned by the United States Department of Defense and the United States Air Force. Area 51 contains an airfield whose primary purpose is believed to be the operation and analysis of enemy aircraft and weapons systems, and secret development and testing of new military aircraft. It is also believed that a number of Soviet aircraft obtained by the United States through various means are kept at Area 51 for study. Area 51 is the frequent subject of UFO conspiracy theories.
Its secretive nature and undoubted connection to classified aircraft research, together with reports of unusual phenomena, have led Area 51 to become a focus of modern UFO and conspiracy theory. Some of the unconventional activities claimed to be underway at Area 51 include:
The storage, examination, and reverse engineering of crashed alien spacecraft (including material supposedly recovered at Roswell), the study of their occupants (living and dead), and the manufacture of aircraft based on alien technology.
Meetings or joint undertakings with extraterrestrials.
The development of exotic energy weapons (for SDI applications or otherwise) or means of weather control.
The development of time travel technology.
Activities related to a supposed shadowy one world government.
Many of the hypotheses concern underground facilities at Groom or at nearby Papoose Lake, and include claims of a transcontinental underground railroad system, a disappearing airstrip (nicknamed the "Cheshire Airstrip", after Lewis Carroll's Cheshire cat) which briefly appears when water is sprayed onto its camouflaged asphalt, and engineering based on alien technology. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed that he had worked at a facility at Papoose Lake (which he called S-4) on such a U.S. Government flying saucer.
One major hypothesis is that Area 51 is a place which simulates the environment of the moon. In 2000-2001, Fox Television broadcast a show about Apollo moon landing hoax accusations, in which it was suggested that the whole moon landing in 1969 was a hoax and was filmed in parts of Area 51.
Others, however, claim that during the mid 1990s, the most secret work previously done at Groom was quietly moved to other facilities, including Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, and that the continued secrecy around Groom is largely a successful attempt at misdirection.
In July 1996, a man named "Victor" announced on Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM radio show that he had a videotape of an alien interrogation which had taken place in Area 51. He claimed that he had made a copy of the tape during a scheduled transfer of analogue videotape files on the base into digital form, and had then smuggled the copy out of Area 51. The video appears to show the head of an alien creature in a dark interrogation room, possibly using telepathy to communicate with military personnel and scientists.The footage was eventually included in a video documentary entitled Area 51: The Alien Interview. ( I'm sorry, even if this tape is fake it still freaked me out!)

In Part 1 of this article, we looked at what it takes to write a Fortean book. We discovered, among other things, that it's essential to have plenty of experience writing articles before attempting a book project. Here, in Part 2, we'll delve deeper into the matter.
For the sake of discussion, picture a budding young author named Jack Wilson. Jack, a huge fan of UFOs, has decided to write a book on "foo fighters." Jack's done plenty of research on the topic, including having read almost every book and article ever published on foo fighters and World War Two UFO cases. Better still, he's interviewed a number of retired Air Force pilots who claim to have had first-hand experience of the phenomenon. He's confident that, if his book sees the light of day, a reasonable number of people will want to read it.
Jack has decided his book will consist of ten chapters, each roughly 8,000 words, with an overall word count of 80,000 words. Furthermore, he's identified two publishers to whom he wishes to submit his manuscript once it's completed: Publisher X and Publisher Z. Both specialize in books on Fortean phenomena.
Every day over the next nine months, Jack sits at his computer to write. The end result is an 80,000 word manuscript with which he's reasonably pleased. Although tempted to submit it to a publisher straight away, Jack decides to spend the next three months revising his manuscript, trying to get it as close to perfect as possible.
Jack can't believe his luck when, a couple of months after submitting his manuscript, he receives an email from Publisher X informing him they wish to publish it. (He doesn't hear back from Publisher Z.) He immediately accepts their offer, signing the contract they send him in the mail. Roughly a year later-the standard period of time it takes for a book to be released after it's been accepted for publication-Jack receives a box delivered by courier containing twenty shiny copies of his book, "The Enduring Mystery of the Foo Fighters."
Contrary to popular opinion, it's after one's book has been published, rather than during the writing stage, that the maximum amount of effort is required on the part of the author. As a general rule, a book won't sell unless the author puts a huge amount of work into promoting it. That means doing countless interviews, writing heaps of articles that reference one's book, and similar activities.
To return to the question I raised in Part 1 of this article: Is writing a book profitable?
It might be profitable for the publisher, though rarely is it profitable for the author. A book has to sell in very large numbers for the author to make a decent profit on it. The standard royalty rate is 10%; that means, for every copy of his book sold, Jack earns 10% of the retail price (with the publisher receiving the remaining 90%).
If your intention for writing a book is to make a heap of cash, you're wasting your time. Washing dishes in a restaurant, or hand delivering pamphlets in your neighborhood, are easier ways to earn a buck. Believe it or not, I've lost more money writing books than I've gained, and I'm sure many other authors would say the same thing.
Monetary issues aside, I truly believe that anyone-assuming they're reasonably skilled at writing and possess the necessary motivation and passion-can write a book. If you're confident that writing a Fortean book is something you'd like to do, my advice is go for it.

MAY 08, 2013 - Related STATES - In an interview together with ABC News/Yahoo! Gossip last Friday, initial U.S. Senator Mike Sand (D-Alaska) held statements by U.S. Air Constraint nuclear skeleton institute officers-regarding dreamlike mast objects meddlesome together with the functionality of American ICBMs-make clear that top government officials are lying to the shared so they claim to handhold no opinion of national security-related UFO incidents.
Sand first gained national detection in 1971, by placing the still-classified Pentagon Papers-which important U.S. government malfeasance into the Vietnam War-into the shared monitor.
Sand held the revelations by former/retired Captains Robert Salas, Bruce Fenstermacher, and David Schindele, as well as retired Apology Policeman Sgt. David Scott, are "the smoking gun of the picture perfect typescript" of government secrecy on UFOs.
WATCH: Elapsed Senator Mike Sand Says Ashen Be Is Suppressing Memo Of Aliens.
WATCH: Boss Salas - Aliens tampering together with US Nuclear Guns.
WATCH: Mass witnesses of UFOs at Nuclear Sites.
The latest testimony-about UFOs knocking ICBMs offline-was heard by Senator Sand and five other initial members of congress at the "State Hearing on Alarm" solidify by Stephen Bassett at the Mother country Push Rod last week.
Hastings grave not to tragedy in that gala, idiom, "It's at the wrong time that Bassett chose to organization the severely resounding testimonial of the skeleton institute officers, and the skeleton sentry look at, together with not probable claims ended by several of the other witnesses at the pain.
That is counter-productive if one is attempting to exercise the shared about the UFO reality and undercuts the substance of the Alarm surgery that he apparently requests to lead to about."
Hastings has interviewed over 140 U.S. military veterans a propos their chipping in in nukes-related UFO incidents over the years. His summary of their tape recorded accounts may be found in UFOs and Nukes: Abnormal Encounters at Nuclear Guns Sites, which is just about at his website, www.ufohastings.com, for 23.95.

AIR Constraint SIDELINES 17 ICBM OFFICERS Behind schedule UNPUBLICIZED FAILINGS.
The Air Constraint unclothed an unprecedented 17 officers of their professional to control - and, if vital, institute - nuclear military hardware after a perpetual of unpublicized failings, in the midst of a particularly dim go over of their unit's institute skills. The group's reserve commander-in-chief held it is disruption "rot" within its ranks.
"We are, in fact, in a crisis exact now," the commander-in-chief, Lt. Col. Jay Folds, wrote in an central email obtained by The Interconnected Push and confirmed by the Air Constraint.
Asked about this at a Assembly pain Wednesday, Air Constraint Secretary Michael Donley, the service's top police man, explained the defectiveness by stressing that institute control officers are considerably junior in position - lieutenants and captains - and guide to be reminded for all time of the prominence of "this large responsibility" for which they handhold been capable.
Donley held commanders condition "roll flock" on the institute crews, and he held the Minot astound shows that the Air Constraint has strengthened its hold sway over system. He held he is jaunty that the nuclear skeleton force is grasp.
Sen. Richard Durbin, chairman of the Assembly Appropriations defense subcommittee, uttered dismay, idiom the AP report not on a defectiveness that "might not be above troubling."
At the Pentagon, Exempt Secretary Fling Hagel was briefed on the Minot finicky by his high-class task and asked for extra information, according to his presenter, George Small.
The indication to badly behaved was a Put something through its paces hold sway over of the 91st Carcass Split at Minot Air Constraint Pedestal, N.D., which earned the be level with of a "D" descent so experienced on its mastery of Minuteman III skeleton institute operations. In other areas, the officers experienced greatly respite, but the group's on the whole strength was deemed so perceptive that high-class officers at Minot grave, after inquisitive ultra, that an expeditious target was called for.
The Air Constraint publicly called the hold sway over a "be successful."
But in April it soothingly unsophisticated 17 officers at Minot from the severely sensible overtax of good name 24-hour watch over the Air Force's most strenuous nuclear military hardware, the intercontinental ballistic military hardware that can belt targets imaginatively the planet. During both underground institute control ball, two officers stand "lithe" at all become old, obliging to institute an ICBM upon presidential outspoken.
"You force be a move stove for at token 60 verve," Folds wrote.
The 17 cases feeling the Air Force's most voluminous sidelining always of institute ensemble members, according to Lt. Col. Angie Blair, a spokeswoman for Air Constraint Global Strike Demand, which oversees the skeleton units as well as nuclear-capable bombers. The wing has 150 officers assigned to skeleton institute control overtax.
Appearing together with Donley at Wednesday's Assembly pain, the Air Constraint key of task, Gen. Pockmark Welsh, held Folds and other high-class commanders at Minot unsophisticated the 17 institute ensemble members after decisive that they had "above of an comportment defectiveness than a ability defectiveness." He held he certified their check of the defectiveness.
The badly behaved at Minot is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Air Force's nuclear committee, highlighted by a 2008 Pentagon illustrative group report that found a "bright and outmoded slump" in the Air Force's assurance to the committee, which has its birth in a Brisk War deadlock together with the initial Soviet Union.
In 2008, then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates sacked the top civilian and military leaders of the Air Constraint after a series of blunders, in the midst of a bomber's not right flight imaginatively the might location together with nuclear-tipped military hardware. In the function of with the Air Constraint has eventful myriad steps expected to whole its nuclear implementation.
The email obtained by the AP describes a instruction of iciness, together with at token one obstinate get through of skeleton self-confidence program and an external reluctance among several to emasculate or report group who step over program.
In retort to AP follow a line of investigation, the Air Constraint held the lapses never put the sentry of the nuclear force at wager. It held the officers who lost their certification to function ICBMs are now accomplishment above instruction together with the expectation that they force advance to normal overtax within about two months. The military hardware time lag on their normal war possess, officials held.
However sidelining 17 institute officers at subsequent to is unprecedented, the Air Constraint held stripping officers of their professional to control nuclear military hardware happens to "a unfriendly issue forth" of officers several blind date for a force to of reasons.
In sum total to the 17, discretionary in reprisal contrive is next opposed to one other supervisor at Minot who investigators found had doggedly flashing a skeleton self-confidence standard in an nameless act that might handhold compromised the secret codes that enable the introduction of military hardware, which stand on high lithe in underground silos in the nation's midsection. Officials held exhibit was no bid of skeleton self-confidence or sentry.
Folds is reserve commander-in-chief of the 91st Operations Series, whose three squadrons are full-fledged for manning the wing's 15 Minuteman III institute control centers.
Advising his troops on April 12 that they had "fallen," Folds wrote that drastic retaliatory contrive was obligatory seeing as "we didn't wake up" after an underwhelming hold sway over in Put something through its paces that he held amounted to a shortfall, non-negotiable time the unit's on the whole implementation duly was rated "pleasant." That is two notches bottom the tip rating.
"And now we're discovering such rot in the ensemble force that your customs ever since on lithe is deal of" weapons self-confidence standard violations, discretionary train compromises and other failings, "all in the see to of not inconveniencing yourselves," Folds wrote.
Folds also complained about unwarranted interested of directions from snobbish officers by institute crews and shortfall to family superiors together with the firm pertain to.
"We are breaking you down, and we force generate from the ground up," Folds ultra. He later wrote, "It takes real leaders to nonstop complete a crisis and we are, in fact, in a crisis exact now."
He told his subordinates, "You condition function to revolve over the rocks and persuade the rot."
At the same time as the AP inquired about the Folds email, the Air Constraint glad a appeal interview together with one of Folds' superiors, Col. Robert Vercher, commander-in-chief of the 91st Carcass Split. The wing is one of three that function the nation's hasty of 450 Minuteman III missiles; the two others are at Malmstrom Air Constraint Pedestal, Mont., and F.E. Hollow out Air Constraint Pedestal, Wyo.
"We are wound up anytime we're passing under than we pretend of ourselves," Vercher held, calculation that he and other high-class officers are implementing an preying and new-found plan to invigorate a monitor of high implementation among institute control officers.
"Introduce was a defectiveness," Vercher held. "And we force fix it."
Vercher held Folds was expressing displeasure.
"That is a very emotional head self-conscious by a implementation bottom our expectation," Vercher held, calculation that Folds was disturbance by the hold sway over, which was by the inspector complete of the Air Constraint Global Strike Demand.
Vercher held Folds was informer his officers, in vacation, "Fairly unpretentiously, you guys have to all be self-conscious that in an area that's key, you approved but you were rated as very problematic to not sharp, and that's not respectable."
The hold sway over area to which Vercher referred was ability at lively the skeleton institute simulator and responses to written questions about measures. Their implementation was rated "minor," which Vercher held is the be level with of a "D" descent. The inspector's office told the AP that "minor" is a sharp rating, "but thinker is needed from authority to family issues in the future they bear ludicrous."
"Nothing is warm together with that," Vercher held.
The institute simulator is hand-me-down in problematical for hold sway over seeing as, for insistent reasons, they can't set off an authentic skeleton institute.
Exposure of shortcomings within Vercher's unit recalls an early series of stunning mistakes by other elements of the nuclear force, in the midst of the Regal 2007 incident in which an Air Constraint B-52 bomber flew from Minot to Barksdale Air Constraint Pedestal, La., without the ensemble realizing it was location together with six nuclear-tipped trip military hardware. One terminate of the incident was the initiation of Global Strike Demand in January 2009 as a way of getting your strength back handling of the nuclear enterprise.
Bruce Blair, who served as an Air Constraint ICBM institute control supervisor in the 1970s and is now a research believer at Princeton University, held the Folds email points to a broader defectiveness within the nuclear weapons force.
"The nuclear air force is disruption from a convincing malaise caused by the at death's door leisure activity of their committee when the Brisk War's end over 20 years ago," Blair held in an interview. "Minuteman institute crews handhold long been marginalized and demoralized by the fact that the Air Force's instruction and fast-track careers revolve round about flying planes, not sitting in underground bunkers baby-sitting nuclear-armed military hardware."
Blair is co-founder of Global Nonentity, an international group that advocates the final shooting of nuclear weapons. - HUFFINGTON Post.
Whether you believe in them or not, there have been too many sightings of UFOs, Unidentified Flying Objects, Flying Saucers, or however you refer to them, to be totally ignored. This curious article was extracted from "Project Blue Book", written by "EJR" former chief of the Air Force's project for investigating reports of UFOs.
The incident took place at Luke AFB, Arizona, the Air Force's advanced fighter-bomber school that is named after the famous "balloon buster" of World War I, Lieunottenant Frank Luke, Jr. It was a sighting that produced some very internotesting photographs.
The sky was clear except for a few high cirrus clouds, late morning of March 3, 1953, when the pilot took off from Luke Air Base in an F-84 jet, to add some more hours to his flight log. He had been flying F-51s in Korea and had recently started to check out in the jets. After take off, clearing the traffic pattern, he climbed toward Blythe Radio, situated about 130 miles west of Luke.
He'd climbed for several minutes and had just picked up the coded letters BLH that identified Blythe Radio when he looked up through the corner glass in the front part of his canopy-traveling left to right at two o'clock from his current position, the pilot noticed what initially appeared to be an airplane, leaving a long, thin vapor trail. He glanced down at his altimeter and saw that he was at 23,000 feet. The object that was leaving the vapor trail must really be high, he remembered thinking, because he couldn't see any airplane at the head of it.
He altered his course a few degrees to the right so that he could follow the trail and increased his rate of climb. It soon became clear to the pilot that he was gaining on the source of the vapor trail, as he was right under the middle of it. Still no object was visible. He felt this was strange, as vapor trails do not just occur; something has to leave them.
He had now climbed another 12,000 feet to 35,000 feet, according to his altimeter. Still climbing, the F-84 began to mush; it was as high as it would go. The pilot dropped down 1,000 feet and continued on-even when he was below the front of the trail, however, still no sight of an airplane. This bothered him too.
Nothing in 1953 flew over 55,000 feet except a few experimental airplanes like the D-558 or those of the "X" series, and they don't stray far from Edwards AFB in California.
He couldn't be more than 15,000 feet from the front of the trail, and you can recognize any kind of an airplane 15,000 feet away in the clear air of the sub stratosphere.
He looked again and again. He moved the F-84 back and forth, convinced a flaw in the canopy's plexiglass was blanking out the airplane, however, still none to be seen. Whatever the object, it was darned high, or darned small. The object was traveling at approximately 300 miles an hour, as it was necessary to reduce engine power and "S" to stay under it.
He was beginning to get low on fuel about this time so he hauled up the nose of the jet, took about 30 feet of gun camera film, and started down. After landing the pilot told his story and the subsequent processing and viewing of the film was given priority. It showed a weird, thin, forked vapor trail-but no airplane.
Lieutenant Olsson and Airman Futch (veterans of the UFO campaign of 1952) worked the report over thornotoughly. Confirmation from the photo lab proved this was definitely a vapor trail, rather than a freak cloud formation. But Air Force Flight Service said, "No other airplanes in the area," and so did Air Defense Command, because minutes after the F-84 pilot broke off contact, the "object" had passed into an ADIZ-Air Defense Identification Zone-and radar had shown nothing.
There was one last possibility: an astronomer confirmed that the photos resembled the smoke trail of a meteor. But there was one hitch: the pilot was convinced that the speed of the object at the head of the vapor trail was approximately 300 miles per hour. He was unsure how many miles had been covered, but on first picking up Blythe Radio, whilst flying on Green 5 airway, he was approximately 30 miles west of his Air Base. When the pilot had disengaged from the chase, a further radio bearing confirmed his position as almost up to Needles Radio, 70 miles north of Blythe. He could see a lake, Lake Mojave, in the distance.
Was a high-altitude jet-stream wind the reason for the smoke cloud? Futch checked this-no. The usual westerly winds were above 20,000 feet, with the jet stream on the north.
Several months later I talked to a captain who had been at Luke when this sighting occurred. He knew the F-84 pilot, whose report he had heard in minute detail. Maybe not a confirmed believer, however, certainly curious. "I never gave much thought to previous reports," he said, "but I know this particular chap well. He's not nuts. What do you think he saw?"
I don't know what he saw. Maybe he didn't travel as far as he thought he did. Maybe, it could have been the smoke trail from a meteor that he saw. But if he did know that he'd covered some 80 miles during the chase, I'd say that he saw a UFO-a real one. I cannot believe that pilots don't know what they're doing.

Here is a just one of the sightings taken from "Project Blue Book" a fascinating and authoritative e-book about unidentified flying objects. It is far more than an e-book; it is a report, and it is the first time that anyone, either military or civilian, has brought together in one document all the facts about this fascinating subject. Learn more at www.project-blue-book.com
Back in the olden days, while I was still in college and a member of Air Force ROTC, I learned that the Project Blue Book files were available for study and review at the Air Force Archives at the what was then called Maxwell Air Force Base. The announcement was made in an internal Air Force document, meaning, simply, that it was circulated inside the Air Force but not necessarily in the civilian world. It said that anyone who traveled to Alabama could see the material.
During those days I wrote articles for "SAGA" and its companion magazine, "UFO REPORT". I called my editor there, who normally didn't speak to me but had his secretary tell me to call back later. I mentioned that I could get into the Project Blue Book files. I didn't say that anyone could, only that I had the opportunity. One of the senior editors called me back immediately, giving me an assignment and telling me what he would like to know.
I drove to Maxwell AFB with fellow writer and researcher Robert Charles Cornett (seen working on some of the files). We had no trouble getting onto the base because we were both members of the Air Force Reserve based on our status in AFROTC. In fact, we had a letter of introduction written by the detachment commander so they would know that we were members of the Air Force. We told the people there what we wanted but they hesitated, telling me that I had to request specific items from Blue Book, not just a vague desire to see the "files." I knew something about UFOs so requested specific files from Kinross and Levelland, for example. They just weren't sure that they should be handing us this information.
After they had talked to a "Mr. Smith" in Washington, cooperation increased and we learned that there was an index, which we requested to see immediately. I never knew if they initiated the contact, or if, somehow, Mr. Smith knew we were there and wanted us to have what we needed. All I knew was that after this mysterious man talked to the archivists, they were happy to assist us in anyway they could.
They eventually told us about a master index to the sightings. This master index gave the dates of the sightings, location, names of the witnesses and the Air Force conclusion. Cornett and I went through the whole thing and copied the information of all the unidentifieds, most of the photo cases, landing trace cases, and anything else that struck us as important. I didn't know how valuable that information would become later.
In the mid-1970s, Jack Webb decided to do a show called "Project UFO" (one of the actors and a producer for the show)for NBC. To assist him, the Air Force moved the Blue Book files to the National Archives (NARA... ever notice how everything is being reduced to letters because, I guess, it's too difficult to say National Archives), where it was microfilmed. We have Jack Webb (seen below) to thank for that. Webb, as I understand it, paid the cost of the microfilming.
Over the years I have acquired a complete set of the Blue Book files on 94 rolls of microfilm. That collection is in no way unique. The J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies has a complete set and I suspect MUFON does too. What makes all this interesting is that the National Archives has now put all of Project Blue Book on line at:
http://www.footnote.com/image/
Then go to page three and scroll down. At the moment, you can search the files for free. I don't know how long that will last.
These are high quality scans, for the most part and provide a glimpse into the Air Force handling of the UFO project. The problem is that before these files were released into the public arena, Air Force officers spent weeks going through them taking out the names of the witnesses. Oh, they did a terrible job of it. In the Arnold file, they went so far as to take Arnold's initials out of a transcript of an interview with him, but left, scrawled in large letters on one page, "Arnold Sighting."
In other files, they took the names out of the Air Force generated reports, but left the names in newspaper articles that were filed with the reports. In other words, in some cases, you can put the names back in.
But remember, Cornett and I copied the names from so many of the case files that I, too, can put them back in. In fact, in "Project Blue Book - Exposed", Appendix B is a listing of those cases, including the date and time, location and the witnesses, along with a brief description of the sighting. (Seen below, I'm working my way through some of the Blue Book material.)
For those who wish, I note, again, I have a limited number of the hardback copies of the book, "Project Blue Book - Exposed", that originally sold for 22.95. For those interested in a copy, I would send it to you for just 10.00 plus shipping and handling of 5.00 (yeah, you have to pay the postage and for the envelop, but hey, you get the book for less than half price and if you tell me how you'd like it inscribed, why, I'd even sign it). For those interested, send a check or money order to:

Date of sighting: May 11, 1950
Location of sighting: McMinnville, Oregon, United States
Source: STUDIOVNI
McMinnville, Oregon - May 11, 1950: Two of the most notorious UFO photos of all time were taken on a farm near Mcminnville by a farmer named Paul A. Trent. Beyond many such cases, these two photos have withstood the test of time--through generations of researchers. It could be said that this case specified the boiling point for the heated ongoing debate over what qualifies as physical evidence--at least when it comes to the subject of UFOs.
Mrs. Trent was outside getting finished feeding her rabbits, when she noticed the large, disc-shaped object approaching from the northeast. She called out to Mr. Trent who joined her to look at the mystery device. After a few moments, he went back in the house to get his camera. He got back out and picked a spot to stand and took the first picture, then wound the film for the next picture. (That was typically a time consuming process with a 1950 box camera.) Several minutes later, he took the other.
In the meantime, Mrs. Trent called out to her in-laws on their porch, about 400 feet away. They didn't hear her, so she ran into the house to call them on the telephone. Mrs. Trent's mother-in-law didn't get to see it because it disappeared by the time she was off of the phone, but Mrs. Trent's father-in-law did catch a glimpse of it just before it disappeared in the west.
Mr. Trent waited to finish the roll of film before he got the pictures developed. They were displayed nearly a month later in a local bank. (The Trents' banker worked there.) A reporter named Powell, who worked for the McMinnville Telephone Register, saw the photos and convinced the Trents to let him publish their story and photographs. However, it did take a bit of coaxing because the Trent's feared they might get in some kind of trouble with the government.
The photographs and story wound up in the June 26, 1950 issue of Life, who borrowed the negatives from Powell.

'Doomsday Ark' to be Housed on the Moon - European Space Agency
After Norway's doomsday ark seed vault next will be housed on earth Moon. According to European Space Agency Chief Scientist/Research Bernard Foing next will be on moon he said "Eventually, it will be necessary to have a kind of Noah's ark there, a diversity of species from the biosphere."
He added : If the human species should be destroyed on Earth, our future may reside on the Moon if plans. being drawn up for a "Doomsday ark" on the moon by the European Space Agency are carried through. The Ark will contain the essentials of life and human civilization, to be activated in the event of earth being devastated by a giant asteroid or nuclear war.
The construction of a lunar information bank, discussed at a conference in Strasbourg last month, would provide survivors on Earth with a remote-access toolkit to rebuild the human race.
A basic version of the ark would contain hard discs holding information such as DNA sequences and instructions for metal smelting or planting crops. It would be buried in a vault just under the lunar surface and transmitters would send the data to heavily protected receivers on earth. if no receivers survived, the ark would continue transmitting the information until new ones could be built.
The vault could later be extended to include natural material including microbes, animal embryos and plant seeds and even cultural relics such as surplus items from museum stores.
As a first step to discovering whether living organisms could survive, European Space Agency scientists are hoping to experiment with growing tulips on the moon within the next decade.
The first flowers - tulips or arabidopsis, a plant widely used in research - could be grown in 2012 or 2015 according to Bernard Foing, chief scientist at the agency's research department.
Tulips are ideal because they can be frozen, transported long distances and grown with little nourishment. Combined with algae, an enclosed artificial atmosphere and chemically enhanced lunar soil, they could form the basis of an ecosystem.
The first experiments would be carried out in transparent biospheres containing a mix of gases to mimic the earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide given off by the decomposing plants would be mopped up by the algae, which would generate oxygen through photosynthesis.
The databank would initially be run by robots and linked to earth by radio transmissions. Scientists hope to put a manned station on the moon before the end of the century.
The databank would need to be buried under rock to protect it from the extreme temperatures, radiation and vacuum on the moon. It would be run partly on solar power. The scientists envisage placing the first experimental databank on the moon no later than 2020 and it could have a lifespan of 30 years. The full archive would be launched by 2035.
The information would be held in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish and would be linked by transmitter to 4,000 "Earth repositories" that would provide shelter, food, a water supply for survivors

Jeff Peckman
DENVER UFO Investigator
Lobby 23, 4:37 PM
The state mark your ballot feeling to become known UFO "X-files" is starting again in Denver. Jeff Peckman of the Extra Campaign, filed a develop of the proposed ordinance, to deliver an Space invader Family Job, at the Denver Capital and District company on Lobby 20. The cessation lobby group is viewed by reliable as potentially excellent controlling than the U.S. government in achieving disclosure of evidence about UFOs and extraterrestrial theater group to Nation.
The new develop is a schoolwork of a analogous apply for settled for circulation in September 2008. That apply for was put on take on after Barack Obama was self-ruled Regulate of the Seam States. A arise of key clan in the Obama govern take publicly approved the release of the government's UFO 'X-files'. For that reason, signature accretion for the apply for was on the brink. Bolt from the blue advocates hoped that goodness and frankness, advocated by Regulate Obama, would count in disclosure of UFO 'X-files'.
Yet, the lack of plain custom in UFO disclosure from the Obama govern has encouraged restarting the Denver feeling. The new proposal is to bring in to a innovative win over - the win over of the Band. Contemporary is budding nurture for high society to need on the put into effect of instruct the turmoil justification about extraterrestrial UFO evidence. In fact, at hand is a budding guess that the Federal government is not regular intelligent to rehearse the put into effect regular if it becomes on the point of.
James Madison, America's fourth Regulate stated, "The Band are the cleanly actual source of win over...". Bolt from the blue of extraterrestrial UFO evidence by the Band, to the Band, for the Band, right well be the cleanly appear way to get the job accomplish. It is even that disclosure advocates in other cities energy use the incredibly proposal and add to the shove of the working class piece.
District mark your ballot initiatives and other working class pains to become known UFO evidence are among the topics to be discussed at X-Conference 2009 April 17-19 in Gaithersburg, MD. The operate includes a press conference on April 20 at the Ceremony Set Establishment.
A compulsory discussion of the develop mark your ballot feeling energy be understood at the Denver Capital and District Building, 1437 Bannock Way, on April 8 at 2:00 p.m. in Place 391. The congress is stretch to the turmoil.

BY NICK REDFERN
I'M VERY OFTEN ASKED WORDS TO THE EFFECT OF: WHAT EVIDENCE DID THE COLLINS ELITE (THE CLANDESTINE THINK-TANK GROUP IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WHOSE ACTIVITIES ARE THE SUBJECT OF MY "FINAL EVENTS" BOOK) FIND TO SUPPORT THEIR HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL IDEA THAT THE UFO PHENOMENON IS DEMONIC IN ORIGIN? WELL, AS FAR AS CAN BE ASCERTAINED, THEY DIDN'T FIND "ANY" EVIDENCE.
Rather, they developed a vast body of "beliefs" relative to such matters - which is what often happens in paranormal-themed situations when hard evidence fails to materialize and the researcher either becomes frustrated by the quest for the truth, or has an emotional need to gravitate to one idea or another, something which often results from weakness and insecurity, or an arrogant and ego-driven conclusion that one is right, despite being unable to prove it.
But, that's not to say the Collins Elite didn't uncover a wealth of intriguing threads that they wove together into an extraordinary scenario. They most certainly did. One of them relates to none other than a certain George Adamski. Born in Poland in 1891, Adamski had the distinction of being the most supported, celebrated, and ridiculed of those who claimed direct contact with human-like extraterrestrials in the 1950s.
The controversy largely began on November 20, 1952, when Adamski claimed that he witnessed, along with six other people, the landing of a UFO in the Californian desert and then made contact with its pilot, one Orthon of the planet Venus.
FBI documentation of 1953 on Adamski's claimed encounter with the extraterrestrial Orthon states:
"At a point ten and two-tenths miles from Desert Center on the road to Parker and Needles, Arizona, Adamski made contact with a space craft and had talked to a space man. Adamski stated that he, [deleted] and his wife Mary had been out in the desert and that he and the persons with him had seen the craft come down to the earth. Adamski stated that a small stairway in the bottom of the craft, which appeared to be a round disc, opened and a space man came down the steps. Adamski stated he believed there were other space men in the ship because the ship appeared translucent and could see the shadows of the space men."
The alien that allegedly confronted Adamski, the FBI noted, was "over five feet in height, having long hair like a woman's and garbed in a suit similar to the space suits or web suits worn by the US Air Force men." (The image to the left is a scan of one of the many pages contained within the FBI's dossier on Adamski).
This was a story greatly expanded upon in a 1953 book entitled "Flying Saucers Have Landed" that Adamski wrote with an Irish aristocrat named Desmond Leslie. It was this Adamski-Leslie connection that got the members of the Collins Elite all worked up and bent out of shape. One of the former Collins Elite staffers told me that the group quickly became concerned by the working relationship that existed between Adamski and Leslie, and for one very stark and eye-opening reason: Desmond Leslie had a long and rich link to the world of the occult, including - in a roundabout way - Aleister Crowley himself.
As Dr. David Clarke and Andy Roberts note in their book, "Flying Saucerers", Leslie's father, Sir Shane (who was a second cousin to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill) was a truly colorful character. Indeed, he caused a sensation by converting to Roman Catholicism and the Nationalist cause. In addition, he spent part of his early years in Russia, where he became friends with Leo Tolstoy, before traveling across Europe.
It was during these travels that Sir Shane became obsessed with the world of the supernatural, which led him to carefully collect stories for his "Shane Leslie's Ghost Book", published in 1955. Sir Shane's closest friends at this time included the acclaimed paranormal novelist M.R. James and the eccentric Lord Tredegar, who dabbled in the black arts, under the influence of Aleister Crowley's teachings, at his country estate in Wales.
So Desmond Leslie was, in a roundabout and convoluted fashion, someone who had been exposed to the occult and the teachings of Crowley. Just like rocket scientist and Crowley devotee Jack Parsons - another character whose 1940s/early 1950s actions greatly troubled the Collins Elite. And that Leslie was digging into the world of Flying Saucers with George Adamski only troubled them even more and amplified their beliefs that the UFO phenomenon was/is demonic.
Unconnected threads that happened to occasionally cross paths, or evidence that the Collins Elite members were correct? In the absence of evidence one way or the other, it all comes down to belief and interpretation of the data and facts.
This post is reviewing a book that provides several interesting ideas, which are quite similar to the ones developed for parasociology so far. John Spencer's "Gifts of the Gods?" was published in 1994, at a time where the Roswell/Majestic hysteria was at its peak. From that point of view, it should be considered as a beacon of light in the middle of darkness, but unfortunately it appears that it remained largely noticed. Spencer was the head of the British UFO Research association (BUFORA) and was clearly fighting an uphill battle against the dominant and uncritical ETH ufology emerging mostly from the United States. The full bibliographical notice is:Spencer, John. (1994). "Gifts of the Gods? Are UFOs alien visitors or psychic phenomena?" London: Virgin Books.MYTHMAKING AND PSYCHOSOCIAL DYNAMICSSpencer introduced several sociological ideas in his book without referring to them directly by their scholarly names. One of them is that the extraterrestrial interpretation of UFO events is socially constructed. To demonstrate that, Spencer does what we would call an archaeology of a particular form of knowledge (to use a concept for which the philosopher Michel Foucault is famous). It is interesting to note that the press, in the very first newspaper articles about Ken Arnold sightings in 1947, was already speculating about the extraterrestrial nature of his sighting. The tone was set from day one and the popular press, as Spencer explains, always had a vested interest in presenting UFOs as alien spacecrafts in order to boost readership and sales. As well, "odd balls" like Adamski who claim to have had many contacts with ETs (so it not just seeing UFOs in the sky) are also by definition good stories for the popular press because they are fundamentally entertaining. In such a context, it is predictable that UFO and alien stories not only are the ones retained by the popular press, but also over time the story needed to be "spiced up" to keep the readership interested. So, the progression from the gentile aliens of the contactees era to the ever complex abduction scenarios on one hand, and the sighting of flying saucers to a worldwide governmental conspiracy on the other hand, was built on natural slippery slope. All this occurred, of course, in a context where no one is able to offer a single piece of positive evidence open to objective analysis. In fact, it is the lack of evidence that allowed the story to evolve, because it was fundamentally communicated through the popular press: the UFO story was framed as an ongoing entertainment issue, not as a scientific research one. With the advent of the Internet, as one can notice by a simple search, a single UFO story can be echoed by thousands of web sites, but in the end there is only one source (usually unverified) for each story. So, the UFO ETH web dynamics remains essentially the same as the one found in the tabloid construct. Any substantial and verifiable empirical anchor into reality would simply kill the story. Ironically, it is in the vested interest of ETH ufologists to not find any positive evidence open to objective analysis, as it may very likely show that there speculations were completely wrong.In this regard, Spencer proposes another interesting sociological analysis, comparing the Watergate scandal to the UFO conspiracy. The Watergate is the single most important conspiracy and scandal in recent US history. It was uncovered in two years by two journalists after what appeared to be a simple burglary in the Watergate building got their attention, leading ultimately to the resignation of President Nixon. How come hundreds of ufologists over several decades could not find any serious tangible evidence of a governmental UFO conspiracy? As Spencer notes, people talk and can provide serious tangible evidence, and any good journalist knows how to make that happen. In the case of UFO conspiracy, this would have involved many more people than the Watergate and a burning secret even more difficult to keep. Yet, nothing of substance can be found. As Spencer wrote, "The UFO conspiracy was knitted long before the 'evidence' ever surfaced it to support it. Real conspiracies work the other way around." (p. 72). Once again, the narrative structure surrounding the UFO conspiracy story can only exist if it is actively maintained through the production of INCONCLUSIVE evidence. Indeed, the UFO conspiracy is a business that can only survive by continuously embellishing a myth. Spencer also proposed, like M'eheust, that the emergence of science fiction as a popular genre was also a key factor in easing the almost automatic sliding from UFOs to alien spacecrafts. However, he does not mention M'eheust, and he mostly focussed on post WWII sci fi. I think that what M'eheust found was the basic collective unconscious conditions allowing the emergence of UFO-as-spaceships construct, while Spencer's analysis explain how more recent sci fi maintained and reinforced such collective unconscious conditions.SOCIALIZATION AND PERCEPTIONOne of the ideas defended by Spencer, based on presenting a number of cases he personally researched, is that people who have UFO close encounter experience have in fact a paranormal experience. What happen is that people interpret their own experience as an alien-and-spaceship one because of (a) their prior socialization from childhood through sci fi and other means, and (b) they were lead to such interpretation by ETH ufologists who collected their story. Beyond the pervasive influence of sci fi through mass media, Spencer provides a good description of what psychology and sociology say about how our perception of reality is very much influenced by what we know and what we believe, be it consciously or unconsciously. Similarly, Spencer explains quite well how repressed "memories" are actually very easy to lead towards one particular way after the fact. They do not constitute memories as much but as attempts to make sense of a particular event. From that point of view, hypnotic regression is much more useful to uncover how people make sense of very unusual events rather than as a method of finding factual reality. It is in this context that he introduced the work done by Ken Philips and Alex Keul on the anamnesis project that focuses on better knowing the witnesses, while putting less emphasis on the actual details of the sightings. The key here is that by knowing better the witnesses it is easier to understand how they interpreted the very unusual event they lived. This was clearly a step in the right direction of removing the ETH noise out of close encounter reports. Unfortunately, because Alex Keul had to return to work in Austria, and Ken Philips passed away a few years later, the anamnesis project was never resurrected. The key findings were: "(1) Close-encounter witnesses have a high rate of self-reported ESP. (2) Close-encounter witnesses also have a high rate of self-reported UFO and 'flying' dreams. (3) Close-encounter witnesses tend to be status-inconsistent [i.e. consider themselves to be in a position at work or in life below their real potential]" (p. 167). The issue of leading ufologists is a well known one. Not only they have a vested interest, consciously or not, to get a good alien story, but the very fact that a witness called an ufologist in the first place to share his/her story means that it was already interpreted within the context of the ETH. This pattern is common to all reporting of paranormal events. For instance, the children in Fatima reported seeing a lady, not the Virgin Mary. It was only after believers and Church investigator got involved that it became a Marian apparition, as noted by Fernandes and D'Armada (2005). It should be noted also that Michael Carroll (1985) found the exact same pattern with the Marian apparitions in LaSalette (in 1846) and Lourdes (in 1858). The dynamics found in people are calling "ghost hunters" and psychics for help are also illustrations of this pattern involving a pre-interpretation of highly unusual events. But let's be clear here. For Spencer (and myself), the fact that very unusual events are given a particular interpretation based on both psychological factors specific to the individual witnesses and sociological ones specific to the witnesses' own culture and society does not mean that nothing happened. Instead, it means that people have incomprehensible experiences, and like any normal human beings they try to make sense of it with the frames of reference available to them. IS THERE A NEED FOR UFOLOGY?Spencer thinks that ufological and paranormal events are the outcome of a natural force or energy that we do not understand yet. He does not use the word psi, but he could have used it as well. Many paranormal experiences not interpreted as an aliens-in-spaceship narrative share many characteristics of with those that were interpreted within the ETH construct. Among them, there are increased in sexual assertiveness (p. 130), which can be linked to Herbert Marcuse's concept of orthon energy. Heath (2005) also saw a possible connection between sexual assertiveness and PK. A general change in life outlook towards a more spiritual attitude is also noted (p. 134). An increase of other types of paranormal experiences such as out-of-body experiences, telepathy, premonition, as well as a number of unexplainable synchronistic events (for instance see Fowler 2004) are reported (pp. 142 and ff.). Finally, an increase in artistic and creative drive is noted (p. 230). These findings are certainly consistent with the notion that through a PEMIE event, the mystical part of the witnesses' unconscious mind has been made more accessible, and thus leading to further psi events, creative drive, and overall more spiritual attitudes. In this context, if the UFO experience is essentially a particular idiosyncratic version of a more general class of psychic events, then it begs the question as to why should there be a distinct approach or discipline called ufology? Spencer did not discuss this difficult question, probably because he was the head of BUFORA, an ufological organization, at the time of writing his book. But such implicit conclusion certainly reinforces the original position took for parasociology.Copyright (c) 2009 Eric Ouellet
