Getting to Earth the Hard Way: Extraterrestrials in Suspended Animationby Diane Tessman. We tend to embrace the concepts of warp drive or wormhole shortcuts to explain how interstellar travelers journey to Earth; however, what if some extraterrestrials are not that advanced technologically? Then these intrepid alien astronauts probably hibernate in cryogenic stasis within the womb of their mothership for decades or even centuries before finally setting orbit around Planet Earth. When awakened, they head out in smaller scout ships to survey and explore Earth. More...
Citizen Hearing on Disclosure - Reviewby Nick Pope. In my previous column I wrote about the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, a five-day event held at the National Press Club in Washington DC from April 29 - May 3, the format of which mirrored the Congressional hearings on UFOs that many in the UFO community want to see and believe might be a precursor to Disclosure. The event has now taken place and in this column Im going to offer some thoughts on how it went. More...

REMOTE VIEWING: A Primerby Albert Venczel. Some time in the 1970s, a group of American psi researchers at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) had a breakthrough. This breakthrough was the discovery that human beings could connect their minds to the Matrix, which contains all knowledge, and that they could download it as a pattern of information and render it using a paper and pencil by using strict protocols. This Matrix exists outside of time and space. A connection to it can be made via the signal line that emerges from the top of the head once the Remote Viewer succeeds in silencing the mid-brain, and sending the frontal lobes into alpha wave hyper-drive. One way to describe this function is as Non local awareness. However, during the session the viewer has laser-like focus. More...

Sirius documentary producer wants profits for crowdfunders and truth for the massesby Jon Kelly. In an exclusive live interview broadcast over YouTube on Wednesday, May 29, 2013, Sirius producer J.D. Seraphine responded to critics who argue that the documentary film (cited as the result of one of the most successful crowdfunding initiatives in internet history) should be available to the public at no charge. Of course we considered putting it out on YouTube for free, the son of the hit band Chicagos founding drummer Danny Seraphine explained. A lot of documentaries in this subject have been done that way. But we said to ourselves, Whos going to see the movie then? More...

Can UFOs Advance Science? A New Look at the Evidencefrom SBWIRE. SUNRISE Information Services will attempt to do what the scientific community considers impossible: to solve the UFO mystery and advance science from the study of UFOs. However, it needs public assistance to make it a reality. SUNRISE is seeking public financial support to fund a new book titled Can UFOs Advance Science? to be printed and released by August 2013. This is the first stage in what could possibly be a momentous discovery if found to be true. More...
Do Meteors and asteroids originate from Earth?by Babu G. Ranganathan. Recently, the headlines are filled with news about finding organic compounds and, perhaps, life itself in asteroids and meteors. There's a good reason for that possibility. In the Earth's past there was powerful volcanic activity which could have easily spewed dirt and rock containing microbes into outer space which not only could have eventually reached Mars but also ended up traveling in orbit through space that we now know as comets, asteroids, and meteors. A Newsweek article of September 21, 1998, p.12 mentions exactly this possibility. "We think there's about 7 million tons of earth soil sitting on Mars", says NASA scientist Kenneth Nealson. "You have to consider the possibility that if we f ind life on Mars, it could have come from the Earth" [Weingarten, T., Newsweek, September 21, 1998, p.12]. More...
Definition of Metabolism, UFOs and Aliens in 2013by MAKANDAL. This might stretch us to long philosophical discussion so let us supposed alien life is a self replicant, able to evolve and self-sustainable chemical process (what is called metabolism).

Stanton T. Friedman received BSc and MSc degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas on such advanced, classified, eventually cancelled, projects as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and nuclear powerplants for space.
Since 1967 he has lectured on the topic "Flying Saucers ARE Real!" at more than 600 colleges and over 100 professional groups in 50 states, 9 provinces, 13 other countries. He has published more than 80 UFO papers and appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident and co-authored "Crash at Corona: The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident." TOP SECRET/MAJIC, his explosive book about the Majestic 12 group established in 1947 to deal with crashed saucers, was published in 1996 and is in its 6th printing. Stan was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Leeds, England, in September, 2002, by UFO Magazine of the UK. A documentary "Stanton T. Friedman IS Real" was broadcast in Canada in 2002.
He has provided written testimony to Congressional Hearings, appeared twice at the UN, and been a pioneer in many aspects of Ufology including Roswell, Majestic 12, the Betty Hill-Marjorie Fish star map work; analysis of the Delphos, Kansas, physical trace case; crashed saucers, flying saucer technology and challenges to the S.E.T.I. (Silly Effort to Investigate) cultists.
Stanton Friedman takes a clear-cut unambiguous stand that SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft, that the subject of flying saucers represents a Cosmic Watergate, that none of the anti-UFO arguments made by a variety of noisy negativists stand up to careful scrutiny, and that we are dealing with the biggest story of the past millennium: visits to Planet Earth by alien spacecraft and the successful coverup by governments of the best data: alien wreckage and bodies recovered in New Mexico, for 56 years. He has spent many weeks at a total of 20 document archives. Stan has successfully taken on many critics of flying saucers, Roswell, Majestic 12, including winning a debate at Oxford University.
Crash at Ground Zero: Re-Examining the 1945 San Antonio UFO Crash
Presentation Abstract]Born on the edge of Ground Zero, living in the shadow of Area 51, two little Hispanic children experienced an extraordinary event. Jose Padilla, age 9 and Reme Baca, age 7 witnessed a saucer crash near the town of San Antonio, New Mexico. They were witnesses to one of the most spectacular events in UFO history.
Their book, Born on the Edge of Ground Zero, Living in the Shadow of Area 51, is Jose Padillas and Reme Bacas detailed account of what happened in their childhood. They explain what they saw; the actual crash, the ETs appearances, the pieces of the crash wreckage they took, the military clean up, and an in-depth analysis of the significance of this case.
First printed in The Mountain Mail, Soccorro, New Mexico on November 2, 2003 byjournalist Ben Moffet, the case was passed to me, journalist/researcher, Paola Harris in May 4, 2009. The desire to finally disclose the details and the kind invitation of Reme Baca, led me to fly to Gig Harbor in Washington State in the Northern part of the United States to interview Reme Baca and his wife, Virginia in July 2010. Consequently because he now lives in California, I interviewed Jose Padilla by telephone from the Baca house. During my two-day stay, I was able to see and photograph the piece that Jose extracted from the craft and study the detailed analysis of its composition which was done by labs in Europe. All of which will be revealed in my talk at the 2013 MUFON Symposium.
It is one of the most astounding cases I have ever covered in my research career and helps complete the puzzle of why there have been so many crash retrievals in New Mexico. As journalist Ben Moffet, who so beautifully describes the cover-up we can begin to see where it fits into UFO history.
It was in this crucible of suspicion and disinterest bred by familiarity that a small contingent of the U.S. Army passed almost unnoticed through San Antonio in mid-to-late August, 1945 on a secret assignment.
Little or nothing has been printed about the mission, shrouded in the hush-hush atmosphere of the time. But the military detail apparently came from White Sands Proving Grounds to the east where the atomic bomb was first exploded. It was a recovery operation destined for the mesquite and greasewood desert west of Old US-85, at what is now Milepost 139, the San Antonio exit of Interstate 25.
Over the course of several days, soldiers in Army fatigues loaded the shattered remains of a flying apparatus onto a huge flatbed truck and hauled it away. That such an operation took place between about Aug. 20 and Aug. 25, 1945, there is no doubt, insist two former San Antonioans, Remigio Baca and Jose Padilla, eyewitnesses to the event. Padilla, then age 9, and Baca, 7, secretly watched much of the soldiers recovery work from a nearby ridge.
Thanks to the work of Ben Moffet, and now thanks to the witnesses themselves, currently in their 70s, the world will now see that there was certain extraterrestrial interest in our discovery of the atomic bomb. It opened up a Pandoras box in human history that cannot easily be closed. It put humanity and possibly other dimensional visitors in danger of total destruction. San Antonio was more than a crash, a sighting an event. It was a warning that the military today is not heeding, whether it is in the US, or abroad. If we add the courageous testimony Air Force panel led by Robert Hastings and seven retired USAF officers at the Washington Press club on September 27th of 2010, then we realize the time has come to speak. If these visitors have the capacity of UFOs to either disable or shoot down our nuclear missiles, then we can see 70 years later, that they are taking action.
Ultimately, the 1945 San Antonio case presents a peaceful message, and a powerful warning to our planet.
Webre is highly unreliable, to say the least, so this may or may not be true. Regardless, one would expect some response from Greer sooner rather than later. ufohastings@aol.com
Upon reading this, and other articles by Webre, it becomes clear that credible persons will have to come forward to cooroborate his allegations involving Greer before anyone takes that story seriously.
About Me: Ive been making documentaries for twenty years now, on all sorts of subjects from the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, to Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle and the secret Bloodline of Jesus. You may have seen some of them on television or in the cinema. I spent many years working in Los Angeles and now Im based in London. Go to my website www.bruce-burgess.com and check some of them out.
The Idea:
One of the first television documentaries that I made was on a man called Bob Lazar & a top secret military facility out in the Nevada desert called Area 51. Thats what I now want to turn into a scripted feature film called DREAMLAND. Will it be a documentary? No, but it will have documentary look. Think District 9 and Michael Winterbottoms Guantanamo Bay'. Will it get made? Yes. Ive made dozens of successful documentary films and programmes for major TV networks over the years. Its what I do. Why make this film? Because whats gone before has never done this subject justice. I want to make one that deals with the facts we know, based on the evidence thats available.
The Story:
Most people have heard of Area 51, but not many know the true facts. In 1989 a 30 year old scientist called Bob Lazar walked into a Las Vegas television station in and claimed that he had worked out in the desert at Area 51, in a underground facility called S4. He said that he worked as a contractor for the Department of Naval Intelligence, through a defense subsidiary called EG&G, and that his job was to reverse engineer the propulsion system of a recovered alien spacecraft. He produced a wage slip from the Department of Naval Intelligence as proof. He claims that he received detailed, top secret, briefings on a number of recoveries that had been made by the US government of crashed space vehicles as well as EBEs extra-terrestrial biological entities. According to this man, the US Government had been reverse engineering these recovered craft for over fifty years, resulting in a number of exotic new products, such as Kevlar, fiber optics and the stealth coverings for aircraft, which were then developed and sold to large multi-national corporations. He also claims to have witnessed test flights of man-made flying craft which were utilizing this alien technology. He claimed his life was in danger and that was why he was going public. But was any of it true? Or just a cleverly created fantasy? From my perspective, I have met Bob several times over the years, and he has never varied or tried to embellish his story to me in any way. George Knapp, the Las Vegas TV reporter who Lazar broke his story to has spent over 20 years investigating his claims, and after verifying much of his background and talking to other people who claimed to have worked out at Area 51, Knapp believes that most of his story is, in fact, true.I believe this could be a great film, and I need your help to make it.
The Plan: The plan is to make an independently funded feature film that can be released Online and on DVD. We will probably have some private cinema screenings to launch it too. Once we have raised these initial funds on Indiegogo we will start pre-production; casting, location scouting, scheduling and planning. and once we have all the matching funds in place we hope to be shooting before the end of the year, on location in Los Angeles & Nevada. Everything we raise will be used for pre production, shooting & editing. We plan to be in post-production early in 2014 and looking to release the film next year. I have built up a great team of editors, cameramen, GFX creators and other professionals around me over the years, and I already have a list as long as my arm of industry pros who want to make this film happen.
Come on board:
So how can I tempt you to invest? And why should you part with your hard-earned money to back me in this? Well firstly because I think this is brilliant Indie film project, a story I have had a long term passion for, and a subject that I want to people to know about, talk about and share. So whether you give me $5 or $100 or just share this link with your friends, I really, truly appreciate you taking the time to read this.
On April 24, 1964, an American Police officer named Lonnie Zamora spotted a strange object streak through the sky over a highway outside of Socorro, New Mexico. The object was between a half a mile to a mile away, shooting off towards the southwest. It left a trail of bluish orange flames, and made a roaring noise as it passed overhead. Curious as to what it was, officer Zamora followed the object over a steep hill, catching up with it as it lay rested on the summit. What Zamora saw then has never been adequately explained.
In 1968, physicist and UFO researcher James E. McDonald located Mary G. Mayes, who asserted that when she was a University of Arizona doctoral student in radiation biology, she had been asked "to analyze plant material from the Socorro site. Afterwards, she was to turn in all records and samples, and heard no more about it." (Druffel, 218)
When interviewed by McDonald, Mayes reported that she and two others had worked on studying physical evidence from the Socorro site, but she could not remember the names of the others. According to Mayes, she had examined the site the day after the event, and had gathered plant samples for analysis. Mayes later determined that the plants which had allegedly been burnt by the UFO's flames were, unusually, "completely dried out". (Druffel, 219) Mayes also found no evidence of radiation, but found "two organic substances" she was unable to identify. (Druffel, 219)
Mayes also reported to McDonald an area of apparently "fused sand", where the sand had taken on a glassy appearance, near where the object had allegedly landed and then departed. The area of glassy sand was roughly triangular, measuring about 25 to 30 inches (760 mm) at its widest, though it gradually tapered down to about 1 inch wide; it seemed about a quarter of an inch thick. Mayes thought the glassy areas looked as if a "hot jet hit it." (Druffel, 219)
Mayes said she would investigate to determine the other people who investigated the site, but McDonald's files give no indication she ever contacted him about the subject. (Druffel, 219)
I thought, given the tenor of the conversation, that I would attempt to establish some common ground. I believe there are some facts on which we all can agree, and I believe there is some analysis that we can make which would provide a jumping off point.
I believe that we can all agree that Lonnie Zamora saw something in the desert on April 24, 1964. We can agree that he described, as accurately as he could, what he had seen at that time. Im not going to talk about apparent changes, additions, deletions from his testimony over time because human memory, being what it is, allows for these adjustments that are neither right nor wrong, but often just different.
We all seem to agree that it was more or less egg-shaped, with a red symbol on it. We all agree that he saw two figures near it, that he described as humanoid, that were dressed in white, and that they disappeared behind the object, whatever it might have been. This object lifted off in short order and disappeared, flying into the strong wind. There were no other reliable or identified witnesses to the sighting (and yes, I know about Opal Grinders tourist and the two men from Dubuque, Iowa who reported they had seen the craft).
There are a limited number of possible explanations for the case. It was a hallucination. It was a illusion. It was a misidentification. It was an experimental craft from White Sands (or somewhere else that is terrestrially based). It was a hoax. It was a craft from another world.
I have tried to think of any other alternatives, but havent come up with anything. By saying this, I hope to draw out someone who might have thought of something different.
Lets look at the solutions. I discount hallucination because of the physical evidence left behind. I see no reason for Opal Grinder to have invented a tourist and am disappointed that this witness, who surely heard about the case, has refused to ever come forward. The two men from Dubuque, if they accurately reported what they had seen also argue against hallucination. Their reliability is another question.
The problem with illusion is that there is no real good source for the illusion. Some, or maybe one, thought, given the time and location, a bright star near the horizon, seen though the dry air, might have given the impression that it was on, or near the ground. There are many factors that argue against it including the markings left on the ground, and given the history since the sighting, it has little viability.
There is a possibility that it was a misidentification and this is the explanation favored by some such as Charles Moore. Arguing against it is the nearly fifty year history since the sighting. Even a topsecret vehicle would now be known and the records for White Sands, easily available now, have been accessed to no avail. If it was a vehicle from another installation, the same applies. The records would now be in a public arena and someone would have found them by now because there have been a number of people looking for that sort of thing. This seems to have little viability.
There was also a discussion that what he saw was a lunar lander being transported under a helicopter in some sort of test. Of course, Zamora never mentioned the noise that would be generated by the helicopter, the clouds of dust that would have been thrown up by the rotor wash, or that what he saw was lifted under something else. Of course the records dont support this explanation. There seems to be little reason to accept this as an answer either.
I should point out here that some have suggested the misidentification of a dust devil, which is a whirling cloud of dust blow up by the wind... or stirred up by the rotors of a helicopter. The same reasoning applies here as it does to the lunar lander and I mention it only because someone suggested it.
There was a suggestion, briefly, that Zamora had seen a hot air balloon. This would have explained the blue flame and the roaring sound, but doesnt explain how the balloon envelop, which would have had to be larger to lift two people, even small ones, could have fooled him or how the balloon would have lifted off into a strong wind. Hot air balloons do not do well in any windy conditions anyway. While the idea is somewhat interesting, given the reported wind conditions, it doesnt seem plausible.
Of all the solutions, only hoax and extraterrestrial seem to have any real viability, and frankly, and offending my pro-extraterrestrial friends, hoax would seem to be more likely. It is a question of logistics more than anything else. You have to come a very long way to reach Earth from another world, so it is easier for it to be hoax than a question of interstellar travel.
Yes, there are many arguments in favor of this explanation and I wont go into them all here. Tony Bragalia and his colleagues have already done that, and they have offered some evidence in support of it. They have latched onto the claim that this was done as revenge against Zamora for his alleged harassment of New Mexico Tech students and that the charred cardboard found on the site is proof.
Well, it is evidence, but Im not sure that it is relevant, given the statements by the man who picked it up, but it is out there. Each person is going to have to decide what significance he or she attaches to this particular and rather isolated evidence.
And then the extraterrestrial... this too, has viability. Arguing against it are the vast distances in space and the complex technical problems that must be solved to travel interstellar distances. Then there is likelihood they would land on the outskirts of a small city in New Mexico only then take off when approached by a local resident.
To me, this boils down to either a hoax or an alien visitation. I cant see any other explanation, given what we know and the evidence that is available in a variety of sources. The arguments seem to fall into one of those two categories as well. Some believing it to be a hoax and some believing that it was alien visitation.
What is left for us to do is a dispassionate examination of the evidence and that is what has been lacking... not the examination, but the dispassion. It is quite clear to me that those involved in the debate are very passionate about their positions, and there is nothing inherently wrong with that. The problem arises when one side or the other refuses to look at all the evidence or begin to call one another names...
That is what we need here, an examination of all the evidence and I have seen both sides picking the evidence that suits them and forgetting some of the rest. I will note that Ockhams razor states that the simplest solution that accounts for the facts is probably the correct answer. But note, it must account for the majority of the facts, not just those that point in one direction or the other.
Now, nearly fifty years later, we have yet to arrive at a point where we can all agree. And yes, I know that well never get to that point because no matter what evidence is provided, there will always be some on the other side who refuse to accept the truth when they see it. We can point to examples throughout history where people have refused to believe the truth even when confronted by it with their own eyes. I have no hope that this will turn out any different. But by looking at this, somewhat dispassionately, we now know why this case was labeled as unidentified. There simply isnt the evidence necessary to make the proper call. Sometimes, that is the only solution that we can find and it is not a satisfactory one. It leaves us guessing and in a vacuum.
Join Timothy Good and Nick Pope on a journey into the world of Aliens and UFO's, as they explore the latest evidence for extraterrestrial contact. As Timothy Good states, "Contact has been established" and in this film we discover the truth that "they" don't want you to know. Black technology developed from crashed alien craft. On-going hybridization of the human race. How President Kennedy insisted on seeing the Roswell alien bodies. The release of classified top secret UK documents. Who is keeping the secret files? When will full disclosure come? The evidence is REAL and mounting!
L'ufologue britannique Desmond Leslie fut le co-auteur, avec Adamski, du livre célèbre où le contact avec un Vénusien dans le Desert Center avait été raconté. Il apparaît aujourd'hui que Leslie savait que les clichés d'Adamski étaient truqués. Sans doute parce qu'il était un grand plaisantin lui-même, il entretint les mensonges d'Adamski durant la plus grande partie de sa vie, se riant des gens qui pouvaient y croire. La chose est si extraordinaire qu'on peut se demander si, à la manière de Charles Fort, il n'écrivit pas au sujet des ovnis sans y avoir jamais cru...
Vous pourrez lire ces nouveaux développements du "cas Adamski" sur mon site internet :
Over the years I have enjoyed having the opportunity to share my UFO research with the public through various venues, such as being involved with many film documentary productions, various TV and radio interviews, writing editorials and doing lectures.
Doing lectures, writing editorials and live radio interviews rank as some of my favorites, because the information being presented can be presented in a manner that doesnt require editing in most cases, since its what I like to call off the cuff and live. Radio interviews in particular fall in to this category. Agreed there may be some lively discussion from those that dont agree with my comments during a live radio broadcast but the results of those discussions can usually be quickly resolved. Editorials sometimes initiate responses in both agreement and disagreement, but usually are also resolvable through communication and correspondence. The best part about doing lectures for me has always been the question and answer session following the lecture, wherein I can judge my lecture by the questions that are asked and the dialog that takes place between the audience and myself. Television interviews particularly if for a news service, can go either way. If its a live television broadcast, editing will not be needed and the information as presented is out there subject to review later if desired.
Television documentaries being filmed for airing at a later date do not fall into the above categories and have become a real problem over the years due to the editing that takes place after the filming is complete, with no in-put for the final version from those that have been interviewed. This is happening much too frequently. I guess one could assume that any coverage is good, but that is not the case in many documentaries Ive been involved with. Perhaps I dont know enough about TV show ratings and bottom line profits to fully understand why this is happening all too often. There appears to be an agenda and motive to deliberately produce shows that are biased, on the edge of propaganda and misinformation, for a reason other than disclosing the truth or at least showing respect for those of us that have dedicated our lives and financial resources to finding that truth. Debunkers and critics are an essential part of this research to help us all find the answers, unfortunately the debunkers very seldom come up with new information and many times are given credit in these documentaries for having all the answers. The people responsible for editing documentaries as well as the film crews themselves, many times have no knowledge of the information their preparing for consumption by the general public. They havent done their homework and lead you to believe that theyre after the facts and the truth only to find out the story line and conclusion when a show is aired is far from either. The multi-million dollar networks want our years of research for free, consuming many hours of our time to misrepresent us in their final product. That has to stop. I can honestly say that of the several hundred interviews I have done over the years, only a handful were factual and presented the information in a balanced way that the public deserves.
The ABC-TV special with Peter Jennings in 2005 was a good example. The show was heavily promoted as being the truth, which it was for the first few minutes and then went south like many other shows and documentaries have, with assumptions and claims that were totally false, allowing too much air time for the debunkers which didnt permit the information to be shown in a fair and balanced manner.
Sometimes you expect these type results from certain national media networks, because you know their track record from previous documentaries they produced. There are other networks that you expect a more balanced view from, and those can disappoint you also as the National Geographic channel did recently in a show about The Real Roswell, which first aired in January 2007.
Last summer I filmed with them here in Roswell for about 6 hours and not once during that time was I told by the film crew that the National Geographic special would obviously have an agenda that would be extremely biased by the time the one hour show ended after the editing was completed. I was also contacted several times by email and telephone requesting additional factual information about the Roswell Incident while the documentary was being prepared. I had a lot of airtime on the show and those that responded to me after viewing the show indicated that I came across honestly and sincerely in my comments that were used. I was thankful for that, but very disappointed with the overall show and factual information unfairly presented.
As examples, at one point in the show they referred to General Roger Ramey, the head of 8th Air Force in Ft Worth as the base commander at Roswell Army Airfield in 1947, when in fact the base commander was Col Blanchard. The Mogul balloon theory, particularly Flight 4, which researcher David Rudiak has proven could not have possibly landed on the ranch was the final word for the documentary, totally ignoring the fact that Russia did no nuclear testing until 1949 (2 years after the Roswell Incident), which was what the Mogul balloon was supposed to detect from high altitude. Major Jesse Marcels recollection of the event was linked to Sci-Fi books and movies, not based on his work as the top Intelligence Officer in the military in 1947. Finally most of the witnesses testimony shown was taken completely out of context.
The National Geographic channel in the preparation of this documentary did obviously very little homework. Some of the witnesses like Walter Haut, Frank Joyce, George Newling, Major Marcel and his son Jesse Marcel Jr., deserved better than National Geographic afforded them. The same is true for researchers Stanton Friedman, Don Schmitt and myself who gave freely and openly to what we thought would be a non-biased documentary about Roswell, only to be disappointed again.
The debunkers on the show added nothing new and in fact in the case of Michael Shermer, his responses are now predictable, since its always the same ---that its all a myth. Perhaps hes the myth with help from the National Geographic channel and other UFO documentary producers. The narrator in fact ended the show with the statement that, Science now sees Roswell as little more than myth making.
Of course no Roswell documentary would be complete without the comments from Dr. Seth Shostak of SETI, who continues to live in the stone age hoping to get a radio signal from out there, and B.D Glidenberg, both of whom I would question as to their credentials on actually doing research on the subject of UFOs.
I suggest in the future, documentary film producers omit the words like the Real Roswell or the Truth about Roswell, unless they intend to present it as real or true.
National Geographic---your credibility is at stake and you have a lot of room for improvement. You owe it to your audience to be fair and unbiased.
Congressman Ridicules 'UFO Related' National Security Concerns of Six Former Air Force Officers
Congressman Peter King (R) NY
The Face of Ridicule
By Robert Salas The UFO Chronicles 5-31-13
When I spoke at the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure on April 30, 2013, I intentionally revealed the fact that I, and others, had been in contact with the office of Congressman Peter King regarding my UFO incident that occurred while serving in the U.S. Air Force as a nuclear missile launch officer. On May 2, the New York Daily News published an article by Daniel Friedman, quoting Kings response; I have no idea what the guy is talking about. We are always getting crazy stuff in the mail by people whose brain has been taken over by aliens or something.
In fact, King should have had an idea of what I was talking about because we have been sending him documents and inquiries on this matter for over two years! We have the records to prove these documents were sent, received and seen by King, according to responses we received from his staff.
It appears that Congressman King simply used this opportunity to ridicule the whole idea of UFOs. In those two sentences, King summarized the method by which our government has maintained secrecy on this phenomenon. First, the idea that extraterrestrial craft have been visiting earth is the belief of crazy people and second, that this is a subject worthy only of ridicule. These are the usual ways uncomfortable truths are avoided.
For the record, the documents that were sent to Kings office while he was Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security were the signed and notarized affidavits of six ex-USAF military officers and an ex-Navy non-commissioned officer. The incidents described in the affidavits were directly related to interference with the operational readiness of our nuclear weapons. They were, by any standard, related to our national security interests and they have continued to re-occur. Another important aspect of these incidents is government excess in secrecy that has prolonged hiding the truth of this phenomenon. Obviously, these incidents have enormous implications worldwide and specifically to the government of the U.S. and public access to vital information.
I concede that this subject is phenomenal. The performance characteristics of these objects, as described by many witnesses defies (current) scientific explanation. However, there is a massive amount of evidence, over decades, in the form of documents and testimony from very credible sources that this phenomenon deserves serious recognition.
The evidence provided to King is direct testimony from multiple ex-USAF witnesses who experienced encounters with these unidentified objects, resulting in interference with our nuclear weapons capability. The fact this information was rudely dismissed so glibly by King is symptomatic of the current lack of responsiveness from our elected officials.
Currently, the U.S. Congress has rightly earned a very low public approval rating. We live in a world where there is little confidence that our governmental institutions will protect or respond to the interests of its people. We all need a change in direction. In order to work toward the ideals of government for and by the people, we must continue to press our elected officials to listen and act on this matter of vital importance to us all.
In my letter of July 22, 2012 to Congressman King, I reminded him of his oath to the U.S. Constitution. Our Constitution establishes a republic with representative government. King is one of those representatives responsible for listening to the grievances of the people. By his failure to consider the evidence on a matter of our national security, he is guilty of dereliction of duty and does not deserve to hold office.

La méduse Turritopsis nutricula, découverte pour la première fois par des chercheurs en biologie de l'université de Lecce, serait originaire de la mer des Caraïbes et se répandrait à présent dans toutes les mers du globe.
D'après des recherches scientifiques, elle serait le seul être vivant immortel. Ainsi, cette méduse serait capable de remonter le temps, passant d'une phase de vie avancée à une phase de vie plus jeune, par des mécanismes d'apoptose bloqués et de trans-différenciation, reconfigurant ainsi ses cellules défaillantes en cellules neuves et parfaites.
Pareidolia: Why we see faces in hills, the Moon and toasties
31 May 2013Last updated at 09:59 GMT
Faces in the landscape of eastern Russia's Magadan Oblast region
People have long seen faces in the Moon, in oddly-shaped vegetables and even burnt toast, but a Berlin-based group is scouring the planet via satellite imagery for human-like features. What's behind our desire to see faces in our surroundings, asks Lauren Everitt.
Most people have never heard of pareidolia. But nearly everyone has experienced it.
Anyone who has looked at the Moon and spotted two eyes, a nose and a mouth has felt the pull of pareidolia.
It's "the imagined perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist", according to the World English Dictionary. It's picking a face out of a knotted tree trunk or finding zoo animals in the clouds.
German design studio Onformative is undertaking perhaps the world's largest and most systematic search for pareidolia. Their Google Faces programme will spend the next few months sniffing out face-like shapes in Google Maps.

Google Faces will scan the entire globe several times over from different angles. So far the programme has pinpointed an eerie profile in Russia's remote Magadan Oblast region, a fellow with hairy nostrils next to Priory Road in Ashford, Kent, and a mangy creature in the mountains of Alaska, among others.
It's certainly not the first to uncover faces where they don't actually exist.
A decade earlier, some 20,000 Christians travelled to Bangalore to pay homage to a chapatti with the image of Christ burnt on it. Some visitors even offered prayers to the glass-encased flatbread.
In 2011 a Tumblr site that specialises in finding things that look like Hitler posted a photo of a modest terraced house in Swansea. Its angled roof resembles a comb-over, and the moulding over the house's door is said to evoke the dictator's trademark moustache.
In 2009 the Allen family of Ystrad, Rhondda, spotted the face of Jesus on the underside of a Marmite lid. Instead of the usual mundane brown smears, they found a "comforting" image and saved the top after finishing off the jar.
And American Diana Duyser took a bite out of a cheese toastie in 1994 only to find herself face-to-face with what looked to her like the Virgin Mary. She noticed the Madonna's burnt image on the bread after the first bite and saved the rest of the sandwich for over a decade.

Duyser put it up for auction on eBay where it drew 1.7 million hits and eventually sold for about $28,000 (£18,500).
Google Faces designers Cedric Kiefer and Julia Laub were also inspired by pareidolia.
After seeing the famous "Face in Mars" snapped by the Viking 1 Orbiter in 1976 and playing around with facial recognition technology, they became curious about "how the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia could be generated by a machine", Kiefer says.

They didn't expect their project to be a big deal, but soon their photos of faces in the Russian tundra and rural Britain were spreading across the web.
"It seems like there is something fascinating about pareidolia," Kiefer says.
While some countenances resemble cartoon characters and abstract art, other images appear almost "too real to believe it's just coincidence", he adds.
But why do people see faces in what is quite literally nothing more than a stain, a splotch or a strange rock formation?
Some of that is our evolutionary heritage, says Dr Nouchine Hadjikhani of Harvard University. Humans are "prewired" to detect faces from birth, she says.
"If you take a baby just after a few minutes of life, he will direct his attention toward something that has the general features of a face versus something that has the same elements but in a random order," she says.

And the tendency to pick out familiar figures goes back to the first humans, says Christopher French of the British Psychological Society.
"We've evolved brains that think in these quick, dirty ways that are usually right, but at times can lead us to systematically be biased," he explains.
"A classic example is the Stone Age guy standing there, scratching his beard, wondering whether that rustling in the bushes really is a sabre-toothed tiger. You're much more likely to survive if you assume it's a sabre-toothed tiger and get the hell out of there - otherwise you may end up as lunch."
Other experts say pareidolia is a consequence of the brain's information processing systems. The brain is constantly sifting through random lines, shapes, surfaces and colours, says Joel Voss, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University.
It makes sense of these images by assigning meaning to them - usually by matching them to something stored in long-term knowledge. But sometimes things that are slightly "ambiguous" get matched up with things we can name more easily - resulting in pareidolia, he says.
Guadalupe Rodriguez saw the Virgin on a cafeteria baking tray in Texas
Pareidolia can also be a product of people's expectations, says neuroscientist Sophie Scott, of University College London.
"Being able to see Jesus's face in toast is telling you more about what's happening with your expectations, and how you're interpreting the world based on your expectations, rather than anything that's necessarily in the toast," she says.
And once the Virgin's face or George Washington's profile are spotted, it's virtually impossible to unsee them, says Bruce Hood, author of The Self Illusion: How the Social Brain Creates Identity.
"That's one of the things about illusions, they have this remarkable tendency to formulate in your mind, and it's very difficult to unthink them," he says.
But simply spotting a face in a morsel of food or a fence doesn't explain why some people spend thousands of pounds to buy it or make a pilgrimage to see it.
Pareidolia can be extremely evocative - especially if a person believes in miracles, Scott says.
"It's an incredibly strong demonstration of how powerful these perceptual effects are. We really want to see things like faces, we really want to hear things like voices, and our perceptual system will set out to do that," she adds.
For some, pareidolia stands as evidence of the supernatural, Hood says. "People will seek out these sorts of things for some sort of intervention."
The object itself can also take on special significance, says French. People assume that if it has been divinely produced, then it has been "touched by God" and "will bring good fortune", he says.
But you don't have to be particularly religious to appreciate pareidolia.
"I don't for one minute think there's any kind of religious significance or anything else in them," French says. "But hey, they're pretty neat, aren't they?"
