Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

    British scientist 'solves' mystery of Himalayan yetis
    17 October 2013 Last updated at 10:29 GMT

    Professor Bryan Sykes: "Yeti hairs genetically identical to polar bear"

    Research by a British scientist has concluded that the legendary Himalayan yeti may in fact be a sub-species of brown bear.

    DNA tests on hair samples carried out by Oxford University genetics professor Bryan Sykes found that they matched those from an ancient polar bear.

    He subjected the hairs to the most advanced tests available.

    He says the most likely explanation for the myth is that the animal is a hybrid of polar bears and brown bears.

    Prof Sykes told the BBC that there may be a real biological animal behind the yeti myth.

    "I think this bear, which nobody has seen alive,... may still be there and may have quite a lot of polar bear in it," he said.

    "It may be some sort of hybrid and if its behaviour is different from normal bears, which is what eyewitnesses report, then I think that may well be the source of the mystery and the source of the legend."

    Prof Sykes conducted the DNA tests on hairs from two unidentified animals, one from Ladakh - in northern India on the west of the Himalayas - and the other from Bhutan, 1,285km (800 miles) further east.

    The results were then compared with the genomes of other animals that are stored on a database of all published DNA sequences.

    Suspected yeti footprints in Nepal Suspected yeti footprints - such as these in Nepal - are regularly photographed

    Prof Sykes found that he had a 100% match with a sample from an ancient polar bear jawbone found in Svalbard, Norway, that dates back to between 40,000 and 120,000 years ago - a time when the polar bear and closely related brown bear were separating as different species.

    The species are closely related and are known to interbreed where their territories overlap.

    The sample from Ladakh came from the mummified remains of a creature shot by a hunter around 40 years ago, while the second sample was in the form of a single hair, found in a bamboo forest by an expedition of filmmakers around 10 years ago.

    Prof Sykes said that his results were "completely unexpected" and that more work needed to be done interpreting them.

    He said that while they did not mean that "ancient polar bears are wandering around the Himalayas", there could be a sub-species of brown bear in the High Himalayas descended from an ancestor of the polar bear.

    "Or it could mean there has been more recent hybridisation between the brown bear and the descendant of the ancient polar bear," he said.

    In 2008 scientists in the US examined hairs given to the BBC which some had claimed were from a yeti.

    The scientists concluded that in fact the hairs - obtained from the north-east Indian state of Meghalaya - belonged to a species of Himalayan goat known as a Himalayan Goral.

    Alien abduction 1973: Calvin Parker Jr. speaks about encounter

    PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - Charles Hickson never regretted the notoriety that came his way after he told authorities he encountered an unidentified flying object and its occupants 40 years ago on the banks of the Pascagoula River. Until his death in 2011, Hickson told his story to anyone who would listen.

    Calvin Parker Jr. says he was part of one of the most high-profile UFO cases in American history. AP Photo.

    But Calvin Parker Jr., the other man present for one of the most high-profile UFO cases in American history, has never come to terms with what he still says was a visit with gray, crab-clawed creatures from somewhere else. He says the encounter on Oct. 11, 1973, turned his life upside down.

    "This is something I really didn't want to happen," Parker told The Associated Press as the 40th anniversary of the encounter approached.

    Parker was unnerved by initial crush of unwelcome attention, with newsmen and UFO enthusiasts overrunning Walker Shipyard, where he and Hickson worked. He tried to dodge the spotlight for decades, moving frequently before returning to Mississippi's Gulf Coast in recent years.

    The incident made headlines, sparked a wave of UFO sightings nationwide and became one of the most widely examined cases on record. Skeptics ranged from the deputies who first interviewed the men to an author who sought to poke holes in the story, and Parker himself has had conflicting thoughts about whether he was visited by aliens or demons.

    Parker, now 58, was 18 when he went fishing with Hickson on a tranquil Thursday night after work.

    As they dangled their lines without much luck, the two said a UFO with blue lights swooped down. They told of a zipping noise made by the object.

    Hickson, then 42, said three creatures with leathery gray skin and crab-like claws - he thought they were robots - took them by the forearms and levitated them aboard the craft. He said something that looked like a large floating eye appeared to examine him.

    Parker says he was conscious but paralyzed.

    "They gave a thorough, I mean a thorough, examination to me just like any doctor would," he said.

    And then they were back on the shore, where it all began. The UFO was gone and Parker said they tried to collect themselves. Hickson needed three shots of liquor from a bottle in his car to calm his nerves before deciding to report what happened.

    At the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, deputies initially suspected both men were drunk. Then-Capt. Glenn Ryder, who still works for the sheriff's office, said he laughed at the report, but met with the men. Parker and Hickson stuck to their story.

    After the formal interview, deputies left Hickson and Parker together in a room with a hidden tape recorder, hoping to catch them in a lie.

    "Me and the other investigator got up and left to let them talk, to see if they were going to say, 'Well, we got them fooled,' but they didn't," Ryder said. "They were really concerned."

    On the tape, Hickson tells Parker, "It scared me to death too, son. You can't get over it in a lifetime. Jesus Christ have mercy."

    "I don't know what happened to them," Ryder said. "I wasn't there with them, but I know you don't fake fear, and they were fearful. They were fearful."

    The next afternoon, the story was splashed across the front pages of newspapers in Pascagoula and Gulfport. Overnight, Pascagoula became a magnet for news reporters and UFO investigators.

    Widespread interest in UFOs began in the 1940s with an incident at Roswell N.M., in which UFO enthusiasts believe the government got its hands on a crashed UFO and alien bodies. The government spent decades denying it.

    In the 1960s, interest flared anew with a series of reports, including the purported alien abduction of New Hampshire couple Betty and Barney Hill in 1961. The widespread attention to the Pascagoula encounter set off a new round of reports.

    In south Mississippi, hundreds of reports overwhelmed authorities in the two weeks after the Hickson-Parker encounter.

    There were hoaxes and humor too. A Long Beach, Miss., taxi driver told police a being with pincers tapped on his window, a story he admitted days later was fake.

    A Mobile, Ala., television station said it would record a UFO appearance predicted by a psychic between Mobile and nearby Pascagoula. Roughly 1,000 cars converged on the spot, where nothing happened.

    An Ocean Springs alderman proposed an ordinance making it illegal to operate a UFO at more than twice the speed of light on U.S. 90, the coast's main drag. Mayor Tom Stennis voted against the ordinance, joking he didn't want to discourage tourism.

    UFO skeptic Philip Klass believed Hickson and Parker's report was a hoax. In his book "UFOs Explained," he noted Hickson changed some details of his story and claimed a polygraph operator whose test Hickson passed wasn't up to the task. Parker later passed a lie detector test himself.

    Hickson would go on to appear on talk shows, give lectures and interviews, and self-publish a book in 1983 titled "UFO Contact at Pascagoula." He reported three more encounters in 1974, and said the aliens communicated to him that they were peaceful.

    "The only thing he wanted to do was let everybody know we were not alone," said Eddie Hickson, his son. "He didn't care if you believed him or not. If you wanted to listen, by gum, he'd tell you."

    "He could never understand why he was chosen," the younger Hickson added. "But he never once told me that he wished it had never happened. Never."

    Parker said the intrusions by curiosity seekers have become less frequent over the years, but have never really let up. "You don't never have no privacy," he said.

    Parker married later in 1973 and eventually took oil industry and out-of-state construction jobs to escape the attention.

    "By the time you get somewhere and they figure out who you were, I'd just go," he said. "I'd just go find another job somewhere."

    Parker attended some UFO conventions, and was once hypnotized by Budd Hopkins, a noted UFO investigator. He briefly tried to capitalize on his story in 1993 by starting a Louisiana company called UFO Investigations where he and partners would produce television segments on the subject.

    Parker moved to Moss Point in 2006 and in 2010 suffered a stroke that limited him physically. He's on disability aid now, but sometimes boats by the site of the encounter when he goes fishing. He said that just recently he met a woman at a gas station who already knew who he was.

    "I'm always recognized," he said.

    There's no historical marker on the river bank noting the encounter, and stores don't sell UFO souvenirs. But local people remember - though often with skepticism and jokes.

    For his part, Parker said he's had conflicting thoughts over the years about that night in 1973. At one point, he wasn't even sure the creatures were aliens. They might have been demons, he said.

    "I'm a firm believer in God and where there's good, there's bad," Parker said.

    Associated Press writer Stacey Plaisance in Pascagoula, Miss., contributed to this story. Jeff Amy reported from Jackson, Miss.

    The UFO Masquerade - Dr Karla Turner's latest research & finding on UFO

    The UFO Masquerade: Dr. Karla Turner discusses her latest findings relating to her research of covert abductions of human beings by alien beings and human military personnel.

    Dr. Karla Turner died of cancer on January 10, 1996, just a few short months after speaking at this UFO conference and being threatened for her work. She was just 48. Since then, several other people involved in UFO investigation have also experienced threats followed by highly unusual cancers. Several of her cases studies are now dead. Like so many things in life, that could just be a coincidence of course.

    Dr. Turner's books are all out of print; in addition,"Taken" and "Masquerade" are both very expensive to obtain on the used market. They also happen to be two of the most important books ever written on the UFO abduction phenomenon.

    100 UFO FLY-OVERS REPORTED IN BOLIVA FOR PAST TWO YEARS by Scott Corrales. Pablo Santa Cruz claims the greatest number of sightings took place in Quillacollo and Tiquipaya (Cochabamba) and especially in the Altiplano o areas with remnants of ancient civilizations. The studies of a Bolivian ufologist who is most involved in the subject – Pablo Santa Cruz – account for nearly 100 unknown objects reported in B More...

    ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE AND THE HOLY GRAIL by Sol Aris. The Scottish writer Arthur Conan Doyle is most familiar to us today as the creator of the detective Sherlock Holmes. A lesser known fact about him is that he was also a Scottish Rite Freemason. Doyle was inarguably a highly intelligent and well-read man, who later in his life turned to mysticism and was the head of a Spiritualist movement, which lobbied to change England's old law against witchcraft. He was a champion of the occult, and relished the writings of Crowley and Madame Blavatsky. Doyle may also have been a user of cocaine (due to his favorable references to it in his earlier works.) This drug was legal and socially acceptable then, and has been described as causing one to make strange mental leaps. More... Also read: ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE AND THE HOLY GRAIL - Part II

    DO ADVANCED BEINGS OR ALIENS LIVE UNDERGROUND? by J.S. Thompson. After reading your article…. It sounds as if you are typically saying that these supposedly smart people live under ground because they are nerds that are going to define or create our future for us, but yet they are afraid of us because they are the worlds smartest, but half human half mortal beings living underground because they are afraid of us? Why are they afraid of us? We aren’t going to steal their brains to replace with ours, we aren’t going to kill them because they are nerds. Only reason I think of why they are afraid of us is because if we know they are somewhat involved in underground activity, possibly alien connected or any related connection, we will simply force any kind of information out of them forcing their lives into danger, point blank?

    PRIVATE PILOT SPOTS UNIDENTIFIED AIRCRAFT FROM MOTORCYCLE by Jodie Richardson. This was pre-internet days. I'm a private pilot, I've held a full licence for eight years and currently fly out of Tatenhill. I've always been aviation mad, even as a child and always found pride in being able to discern aircraft types at long range before my family did. I've always been an airshow attendee and used to seeing rare aircraft types displayed in unusual flight altitudes. I live near Junction 10 M6 under the base leg of Birmingham International South facing runway so I am used to seeing all types of heavy commercial traffic. I mention this only to tell you that I've always been used to looking at the skies for the first sign of aerial activity and figuring out what type of aircraft I'm looking at. More...

    MYSTERIOUS REVOLVING LIGHT FILMED IN THE SKY ABOVE THE LAKE DISTRICT AREA OF KESWICK by Pat Regan. Once again, Cumbria is in the UK headlines with further UFO activity. David Hemming, a reporter for the Cumbrian News and Star/The Cumberland News, contacted me on 8th October 2013 asking for my opinion, with regards to a bizarre UFO sighting in the English Lake District. The UFO was apparently recorded by one Richard Smith through his telescope. More...

    FLY SAFELY HOME, SCOTT CARPENTER! by Diane Tessman. Scott Carpenter passed on October 10th, 2013. He was the second American to orbit the Earth in 1962, but his flight into space was riddled with technical problems; the nation waited anxiously to see if he had survived a landing far away from the target site. He died at age 88 and was one of the last two surviving astronauts of America’s original space program, Project Mercury. Only John Glenn is still alive and is in his 90s; Glenn flew the first orbital mission on February 20, 1962. More...

    AN ALTERNATIVE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE by Paul Schroeder. I never worked overtime, or sought spare time jobs to make more money, seeking blue skies above to doing work, indoors, and I relished my poor beer pockets without ever really developing a rich champagne taste. Those ambitious lads of my childhood who entered finance, medicine or law, worked 24-7 towards a salaried lifestyle that flew them first class, to luncheon meetings and purchased them mansions in the sky towers of Manhattan. More...

    BRAD STEIGER AND SHERRY HANSON STEIGER APPEAR ON OFFPLANET RADIO WITH RANDY MAUGANS AND CHRIS HOLLY by Chris Holly. Newcomers to the world of paranormal research writing (and there are now many, due to the growth of internet and satellite networks where the material has become a staple), would do well to pay special attention to the latest offering by authors, Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger. “Real Encounters, Different Dimensions, and Otherworldly Beings” cuts a wide path into the supernatural/paranormal realms, focusing on the highly strange encounters reported by witnesses and experiencers with various types of entities; astral beings, extraterrestrials, spirit guides, underwater inhabitants; as well as a healthy dose of various disembodied types like poltergeist and monsters. More...

    WHAT IS THE TRUE NATURE OF UFOS BEYOND MERE UFO SIGHTINGS? by John Foster. There are few things in our world that have challenged our scientists and theologians more than the phenomenon of UFOs, which recently have been considered a part of our history. This includes ancient history and Legendre. In an attempt to define more clearly the true nature of the phenomenon, I have written my second book which is entitled To Earth From Heaven. More...

    WHAT DECLINING MOOSE POPULATION IN US? by Tony Elliott. We seem to have another attempt from the climate change fanatics at convincing us of the reality of a warming world. The latest comes in an announcement of a massive die-off of the moose population in N. America in general, and the United States in particular. More...

    ARRIVAL OF UFO SHOCKS BAINSVILLE, ONTARIO FAMILY by Dirk Vander Ploeg. In this report, the witness tells us that she, her husband, and 3 of her children returned home after an outing. She also tells us that they were in a kind of family crisis as she and her 16 year old got into a horrible argument. The witness further tells us how she and her family members sighted the alien entity, when she was about to leave. The witness also tells us that the alien entity looked like a cloud at first although the sky was clear. More...

    DEALING WITH UFO FEAR FACTOR - HAVE THE 'SPACE BROTHERS' GONE AWRY? by Sean Casteel. What does the word “Wicked” really mean? One must allow for the fact that the term is really relative, subject to individual interpretations and beliefs. The word conjures up images of a red, horned Devil, or a medieval witch casting spells to make a young woman miscarry or a struggling farmer’s cows go dry. The mind drifts toward thoughts of Adolph Hitler or Judas Iscariot or the Whore of Babylon from the Book of Revelation.

    AREA 51 SHUTDOWN! by Norio Hayakawa. I am sure that you are aware that Area 51 has practically been shut down due to government shutdown. This is quite important and this is why I recommend you to post this item on your UFO Digest: October 04, 2013 - According to an investigative reporter, flights to Area 51 are suspended due to the government shutdown.

    OVNIs : Historique minimal

    ufo001.jpg

    Cet article porte le titre de "Historique Minimal" car cet extrait pris sur le site Astrosurf " Le Défi des OVNI " © LOMBRY, 2000 est un résumé assez objectif et à connaître sur l'historique réel de l'existence du phénomène (que beaucoup de contemporains tentent de réserver à leur seule époque ou générations) sur la durée, et en tout cas bien plus tôt que ce qu'on entend encore et toujours par erreur (non, ce n'est pas en 1947 que la 1ère soucoupe volante a été vue et non, ce n'est même pas la bonne date du terme soucoupe volante...c'est le 25 janvier 1878 : voir ci-dessous). Minimal car c'est le minimal que devrait en dire au moins tous les spécialistes honnêtes ou connaissant le sujet, ou tentant de le connaître. Comme tous les sujets liés aux services spéciaux, aux armées et aux gouvernements, aux consortium de hautes-technologies et fabriquants associés, c'est un sujet compliqué et où il faut tenter en permanence de voir les diverses possibilités (multiples selon les cas) et implications, exactement comme si vous deviez suivre un détective habitué aux méandres de la surveillance et du renseignement et du contre-renseignement, voir les diversions pour les cas trop explicites, les vrais-faux affichés et le secret absolu cernés par le mensonge mêlé de vérité.

    Sinon, voici un historique beaucoup plus détaillé pour les 16 et 17ème siècles, qui ne correspond pas à un résumé plus facile à retenir donc mais à un développement : http://www.sciences-fictions-histoires.com/blog/ovni-ufo/ovnis-dans-l-histoire-les-16-et-17ieme-siecles.html

    ufo000.jpg" Historique 6

    " Les OVNI font partie du décor de l'humanité depuis la préhistoire et l'apparition de l'art pariétal. Mais suffit-il d'interpréter une peinture rupestre ou une statue en fonction de ses émotions pour affirmer qu'il s'agit de la représentation d'êtres extraterrestres ? Bien sûr que non. Et pourtant. Les ufologues idéalistes voient par exemple dans les fameuses peintures des grottes du Sahara ou de Valcamonica en Italie du nord, des figures humaines portant des casques hermétiques hérissés d'antennes. Pour le paléoethnologue Jean-Loïc Lequellec 7 il s'agirait plutôt de la symbolisation d'un masque "calebasse". Ailleurs, dans les grottes d'Altamira ou en Ardèche les hommes préhistoriques ont dessiné des objets possédant une sorte de "train d'atterrissage". Lequellec ou Anati y voit des symboles initiatiques.

    Scientifiquement parlant, de nombreux témoignages ont été recueillis depuis l'Antiquité mais ils ne reposent sur aucune donnée fiable. Les comptes-rendus sont allégoriques, fragmentaires et manquent souvent de crédibilité. Tous les auteurs citent toutefois l'observation d'objets brillants en vol ou sur le sol. Citons les "chars volants" et les "dragons de feu" de la Chine impériale, les "buissons ardents" du Proche-Orient ou le projectile "flamboyant, brûlant d'un feu sans fumée" dans le Drona Parva indien. Plus récemment, nous pouvons lire les descriptions de "chérubins s'élevant de terre, accompagnés de roues" chez le prophète Ezéchiel8 (-593 ACN) ou la poursuite de l'armée d'Alexandre le Grand (-329 ACN) par deux objets volants. Tite-Live, Pline l'Ancien ou Cicéron rapportent des manifestations d'OVNI tout aussi énigmatiques. D'autres soi-disant preuves sont reproduites sur des fresques médiévales ou de la Renaissance. On y voit des objets dans le ciel, renfermant quelquefois une silhouette. Enfin de nombreux "experts" ont reconnus des "extraterrestres" dans des statuettes japonaises, de l'île de Pâques, du Pérou, d'Egypte ou d'Australie. Tous ces indices n'ont encore une fois qu'une valeur anecdotique et chacun sait qu'une oeuvre d'art, comme un texte sacré, peuvent être interprétés par chacun de plusieurs façons.

    Nous reviendrons sur ces thèmes et leurs interprétations en temps utile, mais il déjà aisé de comprendre que beaucoup de ces phénomènes s'expliquent aujourd'hui de façon naturelle. Nous pouvons toutefois citer quelques événements historiques qui ont marqué la mémoire des hommes, au point de figurer dans les comptes-rendus scientifiques.

    En 1561 par exemple les habitants de Nuremberg observèrent des objets cylindriques et des sphères en évolution au-dessus de leur ville tandis que le même événement se reproduisit à Bâle en 1566.
    Le 20 mai 1646 au-dessus de Londres “d’étranges signes sont apparus dans le ciel et des sons indésirables”. L’événement fut remarqué par “divers civils honnêtes, sobres et de bon crédit”
    écrivit T.Forcet cette année là. Les témoins ont vu des hommes dans le ciel faisant des efforts, s’acharnant et tirant ensembles, l’un d’eux tenant un glaive. Plus tard “entre Newmarket et Thetford ont vit un pilier de nuages descendre sur la terre, la garde d’épée dirigée vers le bas”. Le phénomène dura environ une heure et demi.
    De 1762 à 1870 de nombreuses observations ont été consignées. Quelques unes décrivent des lumières mystérieuses dans le ciel ou des objets arrondis observés de jour. Il est important de relater ces observations car à cette époque il n’existait pas de télégraphe, ni de téléphone ou de radio pour rapidement propager ces nouvelles.
    De 1870 au tournant du siècle, une série de notifications font état de la présence d’objets en vol. En Angleterre, le Times rapporta l’observation d’une forme elliptique suivie d’une sorte de
    queue qui s’étendait sur quelque 30” d’arc et qui traversa le limbe de la Lune. La même année l'astronome français Trouvelot de l'Observatoire de Paris observa dans le ciel des objets qui ressemblaient à ceux de Bâle et de Nuremberg et qui "se déplaçaient comme un disque tombant dans l'eau". Le 1er août 1871, un grand objet circulaire fut observé au-dessus de Marcinelles, en France. Il se déplaçait lentement dans le ciel, apparemment à haute altitude et fut visible environ 15 minutes.
    C’est le 25 janvier 1878 que pour la première fois on compara un OVNI avec une soucoupe volante. John Martin, fermier habitant près de Denison, Texas, rapporta dans le Daily News avoir observé le mardi matin un objet sombre dans le ciel qui se rapprochait de lui : “ Sa forme particulière et sa vitesse d’approche ont attiré mon attention. L’objet est passé presque au-dessus de moi à une altitude respectable et avait la dimension d’une grande soucoupe. Il ressemblait à un ballon. Il est ensuite parti si rapidement que je l’ai vite perdu de vue dans le ciel”.
    Le 22 mars 1880, plusieurs objets brillamment lumineux furent observés à Kattenau en Allemagne. Observé juste avant le lever du Soleil, ils ont été décrits comme venant de l’horizon et se déplaçant d’est en ouest. Cette observation a été publiée dans la magazine Nature 9.
    En 1885 le magazine français L’Astronomie publia la première photographie d’un OVNI. Elle avait été prise le 12 août 1883 à l’Observatoire de Zacatecas au Mexique par Jose Bonnila. Alors qu’il observait la surface solaire au télescope, il vit plus de 300 objets traverser le disque du Soleil. Equipé de plaques photographiques humides il prit plusieurs photographies du phénomène au 1/100e de seconde. Malgré les bruits les plus divers, il semblerait toutefois que Bonnila ait observé une formation d’oies sauvages. La même année, M.Mavrogordato observa en Turquie de curieux objets évoluant à basse altitude. L'un d'eux ressemblait à un disque dont la taille apparente valait 4 à 5 fois celle de la Lune.
    En 1893, des roues et des disques diurnes furent observés en mer du Japon. Le 26 août 1894, un amiral anglais rapporte l’observation d’un grand disque muni d’une sorte de queue.
    L’année suivante 1895, anglais et écossais relatèrent l’observation d’objets de forme triangulaire, similaires à ceux observés dans les Indes Hollandaises. Etant donné qu’aucun avion ou dirigeable ne ressemblait à ces objets, plusieurs astronomes ont supposé que ces mystérieux objets pouvaient provenir de l’espace.
    Les Etats-Unis connaîtront leur première vague d'OVNI en novembre 1896 lorsque plusieurs centaines d'habitants de la région de San Francisco aperçurent un grand objet sombre "en forme
    de cigare, avec des ailes tronquées". L'objet sera aperçu dans les heures qui suivirent par des milliers d'autres personnes au nord de la Californie. Quelques mois plus tard, en avril 1897, le New York Herald Tribune 10 rapporta cette observation : "Pendant plusieurs jours, des milliers de personnes ont signalé un mystérieux aéronef en forme de torpille, qui volait au-dessus des Etats-Unis : Kansas City, Chicago, Benton, etc. La nuit, des lumières rouges et vertes scintillaient sur ses côtés. De puissants faisceaux lumineux partaient de l'appareil, explorant le paysage en-dessous de lui". Selon les astronomes qui l’observèrent à l’oculaire d’un télescope, de petites ailes se
    projetaient sur les côtés de l’objet. L’OVNI fut observé dans le Mid West mais également au Sud de St Louis et dans le Colorado.
    Le 16 avril l’objet disparu du Mid West pour réapparaître - ou un objet similaire - le 19 avril à SisterVille en Virginie occidentale. Ce matin là la ville fut réveillée par les sifflements d’une scierie. Les personnes qui sortirent de leur maison firent une étrange observation. Un objet en forme de torpille se trouvait au-dessus d’eux, projetant une lumière aveuglante vers le sol, en balayant la région. L’OVNI semblait mesurer 60m de long et 10m de diamètre. Il disposait de bouts d’ailes et de lumières rouge et verte sur les côtés. Durant près de 10 minutes l’objet survola la ville puis tourna vers l’est et disparu.
    Ces deux étranges ballets aériens méritent d'être relatés parce qu'ils impliquèrent des milliers de personnes. Le raisonnement qu'on applique d'ordinaire à l'observation isolée, en la rejetant bien souvent par manque de données ou comme étant le produit de coïncidences ou d'une méprise, s'applique difficilement lorsqu'il se produit en présence d'une masse de témoins. La probabilité qu'il s'agit d'une coïncidence est extrêmement... improbable, car le risque d'avoir mal interprété un phénomène connu n'existe pratiquement plus (on peut toujours quantifier une probabilité négative).
    Du reste, il est possible que certains observateurs aient conservé en mémoire le vol expérimental du “vaisseau de Pennington” qui s’envola du Mont Carmel en Illinois en 1891, et relaté à l’époque dans Scientific American. Construit à l’image des vaisseaux de Jules Verne, ce dirigeable en forme de torpille disposait d’une immense hélice à l’avant, d’une grande crête dorsale et d’un empennage de belle taille. En-dessous de la torpille, dans laquelle était disposée deux hélices verticales, se trouvait une longue nacelle équipée de 13 hublots. Illustrant l’un des nombreux projets de l’époque, ce vaisseau a pu servir de modèle à la vague de 1896.
    M’adressant aux détracteurs du phénomène OVNI, les objets observés durant la vague américaine sont également intéressants car ils décrivent des "airships" dont les performances et les caractéristiques ne pouvaient pas être égalées par les aéronefs de l'époque. Le Zeppelin ne sera inventé que trois ans plus tard, en Allemagne, et ne disposait pas de projecteurs. Quant au premier avion, il est français. En 1897 Clément Ader effectuera un vol de 300m sur l'Eole III.
    Il n’empêche qu’à cette époque là déjà, l’ufologie avait ses détracteurs et ses canulars 11. Ainsi en 1824, l’astronome allemand Franz von Paula Gruithuisen raconta comment il avait découvert les traces d’une forteresse sur la Lune. D’autres soi-disant découvertes seront publiées dans les années qui suivirent, tant en Europe qu’aux Etats-Unis. En 1835 par exemple, le journaliste newyorkais Richard Adams Locke du nouveau journal, le Sun 12 publia un article rapportant que l’éminent astronome John Herschel, alors en Afrique du Sud, avait découvert un humanoïde portant une toison de la plus belle teinte cuivrée et doté d’ailes de chauve-souris... Locke vendit la mêche l’année suivante lorsque l’astronome Camille Flammarion réfuta la découverte d’Herschel devant l’Académie des Sciences à Paris. Cela avait été pour Locke “une façon de se moquer de certains astronomes avocats de l’existence d’une vie intelligente sur la Lune”. Cette fois-ci le fondateur du Sun, Benjamin Day, avait été complice de cette supercherie pour accroître les ventes de son journal. Enfin, en 1896 le colonel H.G.Shaw 13 dit avoir rencontré des humanoïdes près à l’enlever à bord d’un “airship” à destination de Mars et un journal de Virginie 14 relata le débarquement de sept
    géants martiens au crâne disproportionné en 1897. On peut donc considéré que le concept de l’enlèvement extraterrestre tel que nous le connaissons aujourd’hui remontent à cette époque là, bien qu’il existe des textes antérieurs à cette époque.
    Parmi les récits a priori dignes de foi, l’observation la plus étonnante fut réalisée le 2 juillet 1907, près de Burlington, Vermont, lorsque plusieurs témoins ont observé un objet en forme de cigare survoler la ville. Peu après l’avoir vu, un objet rond lumineux descendit du ciel en clignotant, puis explosa 15.
    Le 8 avril 1914, des témoins ont observé à Fort Worth, Texas, une étrange ombre sous les nuages bas. Elle semblait provoquée par un énorme objet planant au-dessus des nuages. Malgré le fait que la couche nuageuse se déplaçait, l’ombre demeurait immobile. Elle diminua ensuite de taille et disparu rapidement, comme si elle s’élevait verticalement 16.
    En 1934, Nicholas Roerich 17, chef d’une expédition au Tibet et ses équipiers observèrent très haut dans le ciel national un objet se déplaçant à grande vitesse du nord au sud. Muni de jumelle, Roerich nota que l’objet avait une forme ovale, visiblement de grande taille et reflétait les rayons du Soleil comme s’il s’agissait d’un matériau brillant poli. Alors qu’il le suivait du regard, l’objet a soudainement changé de direction pour se diriger vers le sud-ouest. Il disparu en quelques instants.
    A cette époque les dirigeables était bien connus de la plupart des gens. Certains pensaient qu’il s’agissait de vaisseaux américains. Mais une vérification ultérieure prouva qu’aucune nation ne possédait de tels vaisseaux.
    Ce fut la dernière observation faite avant la seconde guerre mondiale. Durant l’été de 1946, après que les Russes aient pris Pennemunde, la base de missile Nazi, des “fusées fantômes” furent observées au-dessus de la Suède. Pratiquement toutes les observations furent faites de nuit et personne ne put les décrire comme des soucoupes volantes ou similaires aux objets diurnes “habituels”. Les témoins dirent avoir observé des lumières rouge, verte, bleue et orange souvent floues ou vaporeuses suite à leur grande vitesse de déplacement.
    Vers janvier 1947, la vague de “fusées fantômes” s’évanouit progressivement en Europe. Au même moment, le phénomène OVNI resurgit aux Etats-Unis. Mais il est plus étonnant encore que des lumières et quelques fois des soucoupes volantes soient simultanément notifiées au-dessus de la Turquie, de la Grèce, de l’Espagne, du Portugal et même du Maroc.
    Sans dire qu’il y eut des milliers d’autres témoins, parfois groupés en un même lieu, on peut raisonnablement conclure que des OVNI sont apparus dans le ciel à la fin du XVIIIe et au XIXe siècle. Si ces objets proviennent véritablement de l’extérieur du Système solaire, il y la matière à penser, sujet sur lequel nous reviendrons car il pose plus de questions qu’il n’en résout.
    Même si les détails de ces observations sont perdus, la question est de savoir ce que ces témoins ont observé. Considérant que les témoins ont relaté une expérience authentique, leur profession - militaires, astronomes, chefs d’entreprises, responsables publics - me poussent à penser que leur désir de discrétion fut contré par une situation extraordinaire qui dépassa leur entendement. Sinon, autant le dire brutalement : tous les témoins sont des mythomanes !

    De nos jours les scientifiques restent très prudents quand ils se prononcent sur le sujet. La plupart des astrophysiciens questionnés considèrent que nous connaissons encore fort mal les phénomènes atmosphériques et géophysiques en général, sous-entendant que les OVNI ne seraient que des manifestations bien naturelles ou des interprétations erronées de phénomènes connus. S’ils n’en sont pas, ces OVNI tombent alors dans le domaine du mythe et des comportements socio-psychologiques... Les rares scientifiques ayant tenté leur chance dans la voie d’une explication en relation avec les “extraterrestres” ont encore beaucoup de travail à abattre pour persuader leurs confrères 18.
    C’est ainsi que feu le Dr.Donald H. Menzel, astrophysicien et ancien directeur du Harvard College Observatory et membre du Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory était un farouche adversaire de la thèse extraterrestre. Il voyait dans tous ces événements des effets optiques ou des hallucinations collectives.
    Mais la répétition et la cohérence des témoignages nous poussent à considérer que tous les narrateurs ne sont pas des mythomanes. Si les événements qu'ils ont relatés ont dépassé leur sens commun, on peut valablement imaginer qu'ils ont observé quelque chose d'inhabituel dans le ciel ou sur le sol à cette époque là. Quant à savoir s'ils avaient toutes les données en main, probablement pas, mais personne ne peut l'affirmer. Dans ces conditions il serait contraire à la démarche scientifique de ne voir dans toutes ces manifestations que des phénomènes naturels ou des créations de l'esprit. Nous sommes toutefois contraints de les classer dans la rubrique des anecdotes par manque de preuves, d'évidences comme diraient les avocats de la défense.

    C'est ce manque de rigueur qui enferme toute la problématique OVNI dans un débat oiseux et stérile où les réactions sont souvent épidermiques. Si nous voulons discuter sérieusement de ce problème, poser aujourd'hui les jalons d'une future discipline à part entière, nous devons donc nous tourner vers des sources contemporaines19, pour lesquelles tout l'arsenal de la science peut-être mis en oeuvre.

    THE UFO “WHY?” QUESTIONS

    ABSTRACT

    I have been fortunate enough to lecture (usually “Flying Saucers ARE Real”) over 700 times in 18 countries. My audiences, mostly college and professional groups, seem to have no problem accepting the detailed factual data that I present leading to my conclusions that SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft and that the subject of flying saucers represents a kind of Cosmic Watergate. But what seems to be of most concern, judging by the Question and Answer sessions, are the “WHY?” questions. Why would saucers crash? Why would aliens visit Earth? Why doesn’t the government tell us what it knows? Why would aliens not land on the White House lawn or at the United Nations? Why would people fake MJ-12 documents? Why do you say SETI stands for Silly Effort To Investigate? Why have you kept at it for 39 years? Why hasn’t the government taken you out? Perhaps my answers will help the reader answer his “WHY?” questions, or lead to more such questions.


    THE UFO “WHY?” QUESTIONS 

    1. WHY have you concluded that the evidence is overwhelming that Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled Extraterrestrial Spacecraft?

    The simplest answer is that it is the only conclusion merited by the enormous amount of evidence. In my lectures I review 5 large scale scientific studies and ask after each one how many have read it. Typically fewer than 2% have read any. I note the 5000-plus physical trace cases that Ted Phillips has collected from over 70 countries. In these people see a craft land and then take off leaving behind various markings on the soil such as burn circles, landing gear marks, small footprints, dried out rings of soil, etc. These are not crop circles where normally no saucer is seen. About 1/6 of these cases involve reports of small beings. I refer to the more than 1000 abduction cases that have been investigated by Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, John Mack, and Raymond Fowler and the Betty and Barney Hill case as recorded by John G. Fuller. I review the outstanding work by Marjorie Fish clearly indicating that Betty’s star map makes sense and provides information not previously known to us. Furthermore, I have spent time at 20 archives, had a security clearance for 14 years, and find it perfectly obvious that crucial data has been withheld and many government people have lied with regard to UFOs. Saying some UFOs are of ET origin, of course, doesn’t answer other questions such as WHY are aliens coming here, WHY haven’t I seen one, where are they from, etc., etc.

    2. WHY don’t the aliens, if they are real, just land on the White House lawn and say “Take me to your leader.”?

    Obviously I don’t speak for any aliens. However, let us note three facts:

    A. The White House is in a forbidden flying zone. Our response to intruders in such zones is to take immediate action to escort the intruders away or shoot them down. As far back as the summer of 1952 when, in July, UFOs did fly over the White House, orders were given to military interceptors to shoot down UFOs if they don’t land when instructed to do so. This is described in detail in Frank Feschino Jr.’s new book Shoot Them Down. Major General Roger Ramey proclaimed that interceptors had been scrambled hundreds of times without any luck. As an indication of the zeal of pilots, I have heard of at least 7 specific cases in which the UFOs zapped attacking earthling aircraft. Tim Good in his new book Need to Know recounts similar cases. I am working on a claim by a pilot that UFOs took out 20 of our planes in Europe in the early 1950s.

    B. It may come as a surprise to many Americans, but the President of the USA doesn’t speak for Planet Earth. After all who elected him World President? Certainly not the billion people from India or the 1.3 billion people in China. Obviously the UN also does not speak for Planet Earth, either.

    C. Normally, negotiations only take place between roughly equal parties. Surely it is not difficult to see that aliens have technology far in advance of earthling technology. Their vehicles are clearly faster, more maneuverable, and have access to huge space carriers (mother ships) with lord-knows-what capability. They have no reason to negotiate when they can already do what they please.

    3. WHY in the world would aliens want to come here if, as you have claimed, we are a primitive society whose major activity is clearly tribal warfare?

    Answers to this question depend very much on one’s picture of the local galactic neighborhood and of the situation on our planet. The SETI cultists seem to think we are the Crown of Creation and that there may be “as many” as 50,000 civilizations in our Milky Way Galaxy, which has a few hundred billion stars. It is almost 100,000 light years across which, according to Frank Drake, means there may be another civilization “only” 1000 light years away. This would, of course, make us very special as one of the elite civilizations. I think that there are probably many advanced civilizations within our local neighborhood on planets around some of the 2300 stars within 54 light years, especially the 46 that are very similar to the sun. The driving fact here is that we have only had fancy technology for perhaps 100 years. But the earth is about 4.5 billion years old and has been suitable for life for well over a billion years.

    Just down the street, 39.4 light years away, we find a pair of sun-like stars, Zeta 1 and Zeta 2 Reticuli. These are only an 1/8 of a light year apart from each other, but are a billion years older than the sun. In other words, there has been a great deal of time for other civilizations to establish themselves. Having an easily observable neighbor nearby would provide
    far more incentive for the development of interstellar travel than we have out here in the boondocks. My view is, per a fine analogy from physicist Beatriz Gabo Rivera, that we are like the gorillas in a nature preserve in Africa who know nothing about what is going on outside the preserve. I think aliens have been traipsing around the neighborhood for a very long time indeed. I think it is hilarious that Dr. Seth Shostak, one of the noisier SETI guys, says there is nobody at ZR 1 or ZR 2, because they were listened to by a Southern Radio Observatory 10 years ago. One would think he knows what equipment and frequency alien communicators way ahead of us would use, and that they are trying to attract our attention, which is totally absurd.

    Answers also depend greatly on how difficult it is to travel within the neighborhood. If one is a SETI cultist noting (as on the terrible Peter Jennings, Feb. 24, 2005, TV mockumentary) that our fastest spacecraft is the Voyager probe and that it would take 70,000 years to get to the nearest star, trips would be very uncommon indeed. A much more realistic approach is to note that Voyager hasn’t had a propulsion system on it since it left Earth. It is coasting, helped by some cosmic freeloading. Can we estimate the time it takes to cross the ocean by throwing a bottle in? Can we tell how long it would take to fly from New York to Los Angeles by putting a feather in the air? It took Charles Lindberg 33 hours to cross the Atlantic. The Concorde did it in just a few hours. The space station goes around the entire earth in 90 minutes. Electromagnetic signals take 1/7 of a second to circumscribe the earth.

    Remember, we have just started on our technological kick. Think back to 1900. Note no TV or radio or microwaves or nuclear power plants or satellites or DNA testing or lasers or computers or airplanes or rockets or nuclear weapons or transplanted organs. I am convinced that, unless we stupidly destroy ourselves, there will be a time when star travel is not considered any more far out than crossing the Atlantic on a 747 is today. I recently flew nonstop from Newark, New Jersey, to Hong Kong, China, in less than 17 hours. Nuclear submarines circumnavigate the globe without surfacing. Obviously there are those who think star travel is impossible. If that were true, which it isn’t, obviously nobody could be coming here from the stars.
    Think of all the people going through O’Hare Airport in a year and the huge variety of reasons for travel. To get the ball rolling, here are some reasons for coming here. I am sure the reader can think of more:
    A. Graduate students doing their thesis work on the development of a primitive society, on a planet where, amazingly, there is no planetary government, and where there are many different languages; on various strange biological specimens, or on genetic variations of the intelligent beings.

    B. Broadcasters with weekly shows such as “Idiocy in the Boondocks.”

    C. Mining engineers similar to those who went to California and the Klondike and Australia for gold, or to Texas and the Middle East for oil. As it happens, the earth is the densest planet in the solar system, so would be expected to have more of the rare but very important very heavy metals such as gold, uranium, rhenium, platinum, tungsten, osmium, etc. These are all much denser than lead. We know from studying star spectra that they are rare. They also have very special properties.

    Phobos
    Phobos NASA
    D. Mining engineers extracting more common metals from the nodules on the bottom of the ocean and from the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter. We have been talking about doing this. Obviously war is much more important than ocean mining to us, so we build nuclear submarines to stay in the depths of the ocean carrying their multitude of nuclear tipped missiles. There are also abundant supplies of so-called rare earths, many used in the electronics and nuclear industries. It should not be forgotten that a century ago the primary use for uranium was to prepare yellow glazes for pottery. Zirconium and titanium were essentially worthless. Now nuclear navies use zirconium based alloys because of their splendid nuclear and anticorrosion properties. Titanium is used in aircraft like the SR-71 because of its high strength and low density.

    E. Operators of refueling and rest and relaxation centers on the back side of the moon or in the depths of the ocean or in the asteroid belt.

    F. Visitors checking on old colonies established by their ancestors. Perhaps there were many different ones which might explain why we have black, brown, red, yellow and white races.

    G. Jailers. This may be a penal colony on which aliens dropped off their bad boys and girls and that is why we are so nasty to each other. Georgia and Australia were first settled by convicts. Letting the convicts go bother other civilizations who, unlike us, have learned to live peacefully, may be a no-no in the galactic rule book.

    H. Vacationers. This may be a recreation center. Notice how many people visit Hawaii and Las Vegas and Orlando. If the travel wasn’t easy, how many would venture forth to see Mickey Mouse or gaming tables or surfing beaches?

    I. Specimen gathererers for ET zoos and aquariums. We are still finding new specimens.

    J. Local galactic horticultural societies collecting specimens for their displays and genetic cross breeding.

    K. Medical researchers. They may have to evaluate the genetic material of loads of specimens to find genetic defects or super-special genes. There are a number of conditions whose frequency in the population is quite small (for example, only one person in 14,000 has hemophilia) so many specimens must be checked.

    L. Honymooners. Perhaps this is the honeymoon capital for this corner of the neighborhood. Special rates for a week on Earth… side trips to the moon and Mars…

    M. Cartographers. Local neighborhood maps may describe, for example, the equivalent of English coaling stations in the 19th century.

    N. Sports enthusiasts. There may be special excursions to observe various such events. Don’t forget that a World Championship Chess match was held in Iceland.

    O. Scouts seeking the best site for a new amusement park in the solar system.

    P. Weapons inspectors. If we make the eminently reasonable assumption that every advanced civilization is concerned about its own survival and security, than we would expect that our development of Weapons of Mass Destruction and the means for delivering them in the local neighborhood would be of great concern. Clearly after World War II it should take less than a century for us to master fission and fusion and other new technologies to allow us to take our brand of friendship/hostility… out there. Thus, a logical reason to visit is to quarantine us until we develop a technique for learning to live at peace with each other. No galactic federation new-member committee would allow us to join. Too primitive.I suspect that the SETI cultists think they would be welcome guests. Not very likely.

    Q. Producers. Having worked on a lot of motion picture documentaries at many locations, I would suggest perhaps some visitors are planning epic fiction and factual movies for film companies at home… shooting on location hither and yon.

    4. WHY is the government not telling what it knows?

    Are they afraid of War of the Worlds panic? I hardly think so. After all, New Jersey was being destroyed by Martians. What could we do against them? Panic was not inappropriate. First we have to recognize there is a Cosmic Watergate and a long history of government lies about UFOs such as I described in Ref. 1, which lists lies from the FBI, CIA, USAF, NSA, etc. Some want to insist that (A) governments can’t keep secrets, and (B) the real secret is that they don’t know what is going on and can’t admit that either.

    I disagree with both. A few examples of secret-keeping that have leaked out: The Manhattan Engineering District employed 130,000 people to develop the atomic bomb at a cost of several billion dollars in total secrecy during World War II. The Allies broke the German code during World War II and had 12,000 people working at Bletchley Park in the UK intercepting, decoding and translating German military communications. If the secret had come out, the Germans would have changed their codes. There was really nothing in public until 25 years later despite the obviously great improvements in technology. We also had broken the Japanese military codes — again in secret. With regard to B, note that the military agencies have monitoring systems that provide far more information than we civilians can obtain — and in secret.

    The Naval Research Laboratory finally admitted in 1995 that it had launched a
    bunch of Corona electromagnetic intelligence satellites to monitor Soviet radar and communications systems starting in 1960, after 12 secret failures. The first one that worked provided more data than all the previous secret U-2 flights that preceded it. The Soviets knew about the U-2, but dared not admit that they couldn’t do anything about it. The American people had not been informed. Similarly the Soviets had shot down a number of military reconnaissance aircraft probing Russia, North Korea, and China causing the loss of 166 crew members. Their families were lied to: unfortunate accident, crashed at sea, etc. It was not until 2001 that the USA had a meeting with families of the crew members that they were told what happened, even though most of the losses occurred in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. Medals were distributed. William Burrows tells the story in his book By Any Means Necessary (Ref. 2).

    The National Reconnaissance Office first admitted in 2005 that it had launched 7 Poppy satellites between 1962 and 1971. Their function was to conduct very sophisticated monitoring of electronic and radar installations on Soviet ships. Thousands of people were involved.

    So yes, indeed, secrets can be kept. The annual US Black Budget is estimated at 30-40 billion dollars. That is a lot of secrecy.

    So WHY keep UFOs secret?
    A. All major countries and many terrorist groups would very much like to duplicate the flight technology of the saucers. They can literally fly circles around our vehicles, move at very high speed, make right angle turns, move straight up and down — typically with little noise, no visible engines, no exhaust. They would make wonderful weapons delivery and defensive systems. Since we have recovered wreckage at least as early as 1947 (see Crash at Corona, Ref. 3) we would have set up a highly classified project (call it Operation Majestic 12 as described in my book TOP SECRET/MAJIC (Ref. 4)) to try both to evaluate the wreckage and to obtain measurements of flight characteristics using airborne and spaceborne and earth-based radar sets, cameras, electromagnetic sensors, and other instrumentation. Surely governments have very much more sophisticated instruments and observation platforms than do private individuals. The key rule here is that one can’t tell one’s friends without telling one’s enemies. It appears that there have been many UFO crashes including ones overseas (Varginha, Brazil, for example). There is a long history of countries gathering and evaluating crashed vehicles of their enemies. This does not require a conspiracy; everybody has the same self interest concerns.

    B. Each country worries about its enemies determining the secrets of saucer technology before they do and must be concerned about how to defend against new vehicles and also how to learn what the other guy has already learned. Soviet spies at Los Alamos apparently shortened the time it took the Soviets to test their first A-bomb (1949) by at least a year.

    C. What if an announcement were made, by highly trusted individuals around the world, such as the Queen and the Pope, saying that indeed SOME UFOs are ET spacecraft? Here are some things I believe would happen:

    (1) Church attendance would increase.

    (2) Mental hospital admissions would increase.

    (3) The stock market would go down; uncertainty is always the enemy.

    (4) Based on my more than 600 college lectures, the younger generation, which, unlike me, was never alive when there wasn’t a space program, would push for a new view of ourselves as EARTHLINGS instead of as Americans, Canadians, Greeks, Peruvians, etc. Many would think that would be great. But I know of no government on Earth that wants its citizens to owe their primary allegiance to the planet (where it belongs) instead of to individual national governments. Nationalism is the only game in town. I believe that alien visitors — they may be our landlords, for all we know — think of us as earthlings even though, because of our military traffic, they would be well aware of different ruling groups in different places.

    D. A small group of religious fundamentalists (Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson come to mind) have already loudly proclaimed that UFOs are the work of the devil and there is no other intelligent life outside Earth. What an insult to the notion of an all powerful GOD! They would be up the creek without a religious paddle if an announcement were to be made. They have had a great deal of political clout.

    E. Making an announcement would require that governments admit they have been lying through their teeth for decades. I don’t know of any government that wants to do that.

    F. If an announcement were carefully made without the scare mongering of “War of the Worlds”, a lot of people would think that surely, aliens, who can come here, must be far more advanced technologically than are we, since we can’t go out there. This would strongly suggest that soon there would be new methods of energy production, air and ground transport, computers and communication systems, i.e. economic chaos. We are not very good at large scale economic changes in a hurry. Think of the Soviet Union which, at our strong demands, had democracy, elections, freedom, capitalism. On the average, except for the high price of oil, are Russians better off today than they were 17 years ago??

    G. Because I am convinced that military pilots in many countries have been disintegrated or “disappeared” by UFOs, I think governments would all be very resistant to telling their citizens that we tried to attack UFOs and they returned the favor — only they succeeded. The head of the American Rocket Society in 1952 took President Truman to task for the attack orders. Frank Feschino Jr. (Shoot Them Down) has gathered hundreds of reports of supposed airplane crashes in the USA and overseas in the early 1950s. Three military pilots, each of whom flew over 100 missions in Korea where they had to deal with marauding MIGs, crashed when they came back home. That seems very suspicious to me.

    5. WHY would saucers crash?

    Usually this is accompanied by a comment that it makes no sense that a sophisticated vehicle coming from many light years away could possibly crash. Please note that the vehicle could have come from a base on the back side of the moon, in the asteroid belt, on Mars or some alien “coaling station” in the local neighborhood. I once did 25 college lectures in 35 days in 15 states. I was gone all the time from when I left home until I returned rather than going back and forth to home after each lecture.

    A. In the first place, there are many indications that what crashed at Roswell and in the Plains of San Agustin in New Mexico in early July, 1947, were small Earth excursion modules rather than the interstellar, very large vehicles (space carriers? mother ships?) which would have brought them to Earth just as our large aircraft carriers carry 75 or so small airplanes whose mode of propulsion is distinctly different from that of the carrier.

    B. Secondly, when we examine major efforts by the Transportation Safety Board to determine the cause of aircraft crashes, we often find, after much effort, that it was simple unexpected things ranging from loose bolts, to ingested birds, to faulty wiring, to pilot error, to ice in the wrong place. It could have been very high atmospheric electricity levels because of storms or the great dryness of the desert air. Or unexpected high altitude hail. We know a radar set was on over at White Sands because of an impending rocket launch and the fact that it used vacuum tubes. This was a tracking radar pointed North. Crossing the beam might have led to a small hiccup in the control system for a magnetoaerodynamic propulsion system leading to a collision and subsequent collision of the lead saucer and its wingman’s saucer. Perhaps a US military rocket launched in the neighborhood might have inadvertently homed in on a saucer. Perhaps there was a momentary loss of attention when the Trinity highly radioactive site, at which the first atomic bomb was tested, was noted. We certainly have no reason to believe that aliens never make mistakes, or never run into the unexpected. Some day perhaps the government will release the report that was undoubtedly written as to the causes of the crashes. Just because we don’t have that report, it doesn’t mean the event didn’t take place.

    6. WHY haven’t you seen a flying saucer?

    I have no idea, though I have mostly lived in cities and am watching for traffic rather than looking to the skies. I check my audiences after my lectures and find that typically 10% have seen one, which covers many decades. Only 10% of those were reported. I have never seen Tokyo either or had polio or HIV. I know people who have seen Tokyo, had polio, or HIV. I spent many years chasing neutrons and gamma rays. Never saw one of them either. They are also real.

    7. WHY do you say SETI stands for Silly Effort to Investigate?

    Frankly I find that there is very little science behind the SETI effort. It is assumed that there are civilizations using communication technologies similar to ones we have developed to try to attract our attention. It assumes there is no colonization and no migration and that nobody is coming here. They assume that because it takes less energy to send signals than to travel, that nobody is traveling. Of course nobody flies from Newark to Hong Kong because the Internet and telephone is cheaper! Hah. It is all fancily dressed hogwash. They could easily be thousands or millions of years ahead of us. An AM radio doesn’t pick up FM signals. A German General just before the start of World War II in Europe noted (see Ref. 2) that the Brits were building a whole array of tall (more than 200') towers with cross pieces which he figured had to be part of a radar net. The Graf Zeppelin slowly moved parallel to the array and listened and found no signals. The frequency being used was 10 times higher than what the Germans were using and they fortunately were never aware of how well their planes were being tracked.

    If civilizations, with a great deal of common heritage and similar background and access to similar science, can’t correctly predict the technique to be used by similar people a few hundred miles away, why assume we can second-guess aliens? They persistently say there is no evidence for UFOs, but always avoid dealing with the large scale scientific studies. Check their references. Look carefully at the Drake Equation, their Holy Grail. We have no way to determine the lifetime of a civilization, or the fraction of planets that have intelligent life or that develop technology. We have data on one “civilization” on one planet in one solar system. Real scientists don’t extrapolate or interpolate from one data point. The SETI people omit colonization and migration which could greatly lengthen the life span of a civilization. That is pseudoscience, no matter how many degreed professionals are involved. Admittedly, their job security is dependent on nobody coming here…

    8. WHY hasn’t the government taken out Stan Friedman, if what he is saying about a Cosmic Watergate and overwhelming evidence that we have visitors is true?

    Obviously I don’t speak for the government. I am careful in what I say, and I don’t break the law in seeking classified data from people with clearances. I may be doing exactly what they want, that is, preparing the public for the date when the great secret is released. I have never had an unlisted telephone number. It is in my books and on my website. All those lonely drives to Roswell would provide plenty of opportunity. My answering service is instructed to give out my travel information to callers. Frankly, I can’t live my life looking over my shoulder. Some have suggested I was too well known and that a sudden death would be suspicious…

    9. WHY would people fake a bunch of MJ-12 documents?

    I am not a psychiatrist, but I would suggest to enhance status;
    to think “Gotcha”; or to disinform the public so that the fake documents would be an excuse for labeling such genuine documents as the Eisenhower Briefing Document, the Truman-Forrestal Memo, and the Cutler-Twining Memo as frauds. Or, perhaps, might it be to be able to claim that the proponents are stupid or are disinformation specialists? The same old tired false anti-MJ-12 arguments keep being put forth despite the fact that I have demonstrated that they are nonsense. The Majestic 12 article in Wikipedia is loaded with false and misleading claims. For example, in the 5000-word afterword in TOP SECRET/MAJIC 2nd Edition (2005), in “Update on Operation Majestic 12” (see www.stantonfriedman.com), in “Roswell and the MJ-12 Documents in the New Millennium” (Ref.5), and in my “Review of Case MJ-12” also on my website I demolish the anti’s and show that other MJ-12 documents are fraudulent. Remember, one of the key rules for debunkers is “Don’t bother me with the facts, my mind is made up.” Another is “Do your research by proclamation, investigation is too much trouble and the public won’t know the difference.” I distinctly showed that at least seven of the supposed MJ-12 documents provided to Timothy Cooper are emulations of real documents published in books and generally available. They were retyped, much handwritten material was Xeroxed or scanned, and the two were combined. And there were often factual misstatements. Deuterium is not light hydrogen. Sandia is in New Mexico, while General Spaatz was not in New Mexico on July 7, 1947 (I found his flight log and a newspaper article and desk calendar indicating he was in Port Aransas, Texas, fishing).

    Some of the statements from the phony emulations were repeated in other documents which means the latter ones were also phony. I have been told that when good information is leaked, bad is put out so as to confuse things and imply the real ones are phony: guilt by association. It is interesting that Colonel Richard Weaver, author of the grossly misleading USAF Book The Roswell Report: Truth vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert (see Ref. 5) had as his military specialty “Disinformation.” He provided the fiction.

    10. WHY have you kept at it since reading Ruppelt’s book in 1958 and giving your first lecture in 1967?

    I enjoy being on the stage and the very enthusiastic response I get from my audiences, especially from the technical societies. I am pleased when people tell me that they decided to teach a course about UFOs, after hearing me talk. I can think of no subject more important to the future for my children and grandson than the notion of an earthling orientation in the hope of helping stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. What is more exciting than alien visitations and government cover-ups? I believe I bring a unique background to my presentations:

    A. So far as I know I have worked on more cancelled high technology classified programs than anybody and so can deal with those silly “It would violate the laws of Physics” arguments. Not many have worked on nuclear airplanes, or in general on fission and fusion propulsion systems.

    B. Because I worked on many classified programs and have visited 20 archives, I am in a better position than most to deal with the silly “Secrets can’t be kept” notions.

    C. Because I have probably had to answer about 40,000 questions at lectures and on talk shows and in classes, I have been forced to think about the questions such as the “WHY?” questions, more than most.

    D. I was very fortunate to be able to find that my memory was good and reliable (at least until recently) and I could give acceptable answers in a hurry. Being on debate teams in high school probably helped a lot. I have been very lucky, first to have worked on so many leading edge classified programs, and second to be able to provide so many presentations to attentive audiences.

    Klik op de afbeelding om de link te volgen DEBUNKERS AT IT AGAIN


    I hated wasting the money to buy the January/February 2009 issue of the Skeptical Inquirer (Vol. 33, Issue 1) which has for years been trying to debunk all sorts of so-called paranormal phenomena. But the cover said: Special Issue “The New UFO Interest: Scientific Appraisals.” This is an excellent example of false advertising since the appraisals are anything but scientific. SI is published by what is now labeled “The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry” (CSI Lite??). In actuality, the active writers and “investigators” aren’t skeptics. They are Debunkers doing their best to pull the wool over the eyes of a curious public. They know the answers, and so don’t really need to investigate. Proclamation is more their style. Deception is the name of the game. For example, inside the front cover is a very impressive list of about 75 scientists, writers, philosophers, etc., including three Nobel Prize winners. Also included on the list is Bill Nye, “The Science Guy,” whose purpose is to Deny… judging by his Larry King appearances. Unfortunately, most of the highly credentialed people aren’t the ones who write the articles or “investigate.” The dirty work in the trenches is normally done by the debunkers in residence. The primary tools are those of the propagandists such as very selective choice of data, positive and negative name calling, and misrepresentation.

    Listed under Investigative Files is an article “Return to Roswell” by Dr. Joseph Nickell. Joe’s three degrees are in English and he spent a lot of time as a magician. Not much science there. Of course the stock-in-trade of magicians is intentional deception with another sterling example being the Amazing Randi. Joe’s been attacking Roswell for over a decade. At the 50th Anniversary celebration in Roswell, I was being interviewed there, and he was in California. We couldn’t see each other, but could hear. He explained Roswell by saying the press release was put out by the PR person from the base to attract attention to himself! Joe didn’t even know Walter Haut’s name. I pointed out that I had known Walter from almost twenty years and that the notion that the PR person for the most elite military organization in the world, the 509th Bomb Group, would put out such a press release without his boss’s blessing was completely absurd. Of course in SI Joe never mentions the 509th or that it had dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and set off two more at Operation Crossroads in the Pacific in 1946. It is of some interest that Walter Haut was chosen to drop the instrument package during one of those tests, that he had flown over twenty bombing missions as a bombardier over Japan during WW2 and was quite close to Colonel Blanchard, 509th Commander. Some inexperience!

    Col. William Blanchard
    Col. William Blanchard U.S. Air Force
    Apparently Joe had learned nothing from our exchange and stated “On July 8, 1947, an unauthorized press release from an eager but relatively inexperienced public information officer at New Mexico’s Roswell Army Air Field propelled the Roswell Incident into history.” It has been known for thirty years that Blanchard ordered (authorized) Walter to put out the release. Walter after years in the far east during WW2 was hardly just wet behind the ears. Joe even goes on to claim Kenneth Arnold’s sighting two weeks earlier may well have been nothing more than mirage effects caused by a temperature inversion. That is as sensible as saying the moon may be made of green cheese. This crazy notion was thoroughly destroyed by Dr. Bruce Maccabee, a physicist. But why let the facts get in the way?

    Nickell goes on to say the young officer was reprimanded. He provides no evidence. I and others have asked both Walter and his wife and both denied there was any reprimand. Why would there have been, since Blanchard had ordered the release? Nickell then moves right over to the baseless Project Mogul explanation which has been thoroughly destroyed by Brad Sparks and Dr. David Rudiak and Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr. (Ref.1) despite the assertions of Dr. Charles Moore who worked on the program.

    Nickell describes in some detail tests run by Engineer Robert Galganski with the Discovery TV Channel crew and Nickell in attendance. They put up a half size Mogul Balloon Train carrying some radar reflectors and then shot down the balloons showing that the area covered by the debris was much smaller than described by Major Jesse Marcel. Joe was there and doesn’t really buy the test because he notes that Jesse’s estimate, 3/4 of a mile long by hundreds of feet wide, was much greater than described by Rancher Mack Brazel in the July 9 Roswell Daily Record article. He quotes that article at length, but somehow never mentions that Brazel was sure what he had found wasn’t balloons. He also fails to mention that testimony from Brazel’s son Bill, neighbor Loretta Proctor, and others all saying that Brazel was brought back into town on July 9 and given a new story to tell the press. Also not noted is that if all there had been was the “bundle about three feet long and 7 or 8 inches thick and the another rubber bundle 18-20 inches long and 8 inches thick with a total weight of maybe 5 pounds,” it would easily have fit in Brazel’s small truck and there would have been no reason for Marcel and Counter Intelligence Corps Captain Sheridan Cavitt to follow Brazel the long way back to the ranch on July 6 as they did. Joe, of course, never mentions that the July 8 article, carried all over in Evening papers from Chicago West, said the wreckage was found “last week.” The phony July 9 explanation says “found June 14” — hardly last week from July 8.

    Joe also notes that though the news story died almost immediately, “but the event continued as the subject of folklore and fakelore [much provided by Roswell Debunkers]… there emerged amateurishly forged government conspiracy documents.” He has a note saying “The ‘MJ-12 Documents’ fooled arch Roswell-conspiracy writer Stanton T. Friedman who has continued to tout the bogus documents (Friedman 1996).” WRONG, Joe. I have done far more detailed investigation (not Nickell-style proclamations) to show that the great majority of the MJ-12 documents are indeed fakes — but that the four major ones are solid. As I recall Joe claimed the “Eisenhower Briefing Document” was an obvious fraud because of the comma in the date “18 November, 1952.” As it happens that was one of many date formats in use at the time. I found seven original documents which were used as a basis for phony emulations and was able to dispose of the other objections to the four good ones in Ref. 2, 2005, and a number of papers — none noted by Nickell, of course. Ref. 3 by myself and Don Berliner is also not noted.

    Robert Sheaffer also contributed a “historical” overview: “Ufology 2009: A Six Decade Perspective.” Sheaffer clearly shows his disdain for UFO abductions and the rest of the UFO scene, and for the facts as well. Speaking of Betty and Barney Hill: “Under hypnosis, they each told a UFO Abduction story that largely matched Betty’s nightmares (which Barney had heard her repeat many times).” The comment is nonsense. Barney read Betty’s dreams once, and the notes were put in a drawer. There was no repetition and the comparative analysis of what they said under hypnosis and what was in the dreams is detailed by Betty’s niece Kathleen Marden, in our book Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experiences (Ref. 4) — also not referenced. Sheaffer theorizes a “New Age” vs. “Science Fiction” ufology. Both are junk science and consistently ignore Occam’s razor (all things being equal, the simplest solution is the best).” By far the simplest solution to the UFO problem is that the best cases (Multiple witness radar visual, landings etc.) involve alien spacecraft. Debunking ufology of the SI variety ignores science all together. He also claims “The FBI investigated the documents [MJ-12] and quickly concluded that the documents were “completely bogus.”

    Not so. The FBI on its website carries the USAF Colonel Weaver’s set with his hand written comment “BOGUS.” They accepted his word. Sheaffer also claims one document was typed on a typewriter that was not manufactured until “fifteen years after the date on the document.” This, too, is nonsense as noted in Ref. 2 on page 227 which quotes forensic document examiner James Black that the typeface preceded the document date by seven years.

    Dr. David Morrison, a NASA senior scientist, chimes in in SI with “UFOS and Aliens in Space.” He says “If UFOs are alien spacecraft visiting Earth, then it seems reasonable that evidence of alien civilizations might be seen by astronomers or the radio signals
    from alien spacecraft might be picked up by the sensitive receivers we use to communicate with our own spacecraft.” Frankly this is absurd. Astronomers (some of whom have indeed seen UFOs) aren’t looking for signals from alien spacecraft which are very likely using techniques about which we are ignorant. Maybe secret NSA listening devices pick up alien signals, but then the NSA doesn’t release info about what signals it receives. They did release 156 pages of UFO related intercepts. All but one or two sentences per page are redacted (whited out). Another astronomer, Andrew Fraknoi, has a brief piece bemoaning the lack of sightings by even amateur astronomers. There is no mention, of course, of Stanford astrophysicist Dr. Peter Sturrock’s discussion of astronomer UFO sightings as noted in Ref. 5.

    Retired air force major and pilot, James McGaha, also an avid astronomer, with his own observatory, lists fourteen areas of astronomical knowledge needed to be a good UFO observer. He, too, has appeared on Larry King attacking “unqualified observers.” One hardly needs to be very astronomically knowledgeable to describe the silent slow flight at low altitude of the huge “Phoenix lights” taking four minutes to fly right overhead blotting out the stars as it did so. I can enjoy and benefit from eating various foods without being an expert on the digestion process. He and I tangled in a spirited formal university debate as can be seen in Ref. 6.

    Another SI anti-Roswell article is “Roswell Update: Fading Star?” by Dave Thomas, a scientist in New Mexico and President of “New Mexicans for Science and Reason.” Dave has certainly demonstrated his lack of knowledge of both the Roswell and Aztec UFO crash retrieval cases. I am looking forward to a soon-to-be-published book by Scott and Suzanne Ramsey about the Aztec case. Unlike Thomas, they did an enormous amount of serious research.

    There are a few other articles as well. Suffice to say that the Skeptical Inquirer provides many examples of the intellectual bankruptcy of the pseudoscience of anti-ufology.

    SCIENCE WAS WRONG: STARTLING TRUTHS ABOUT CURES, THEORIES, AND INVENTIONS “THEY” DECLARED IMPOSSIBLE

    Book Cover   

    Readers may be interested in a very recent review of Science Was Wrong: Startling Truths about Cures, Theories, and Inventions ‘They’ Declared Impossible. Kathleen Marden and I each wrote seven chapters. The review by John Harney can be seen at The Magonia Blog. Harney isn’t bothered by the chapters on aviation, space, cold fusion, climate change, communications, Jupiter and man, various medical situations, etc. He is bothered by the ones dealing with frontier and paranormal phenomena, the Abduction conundrum, and of course, UFOs.

    Harney says “Friedman launches his familiar attacks on the ‘debunkers’; though he devotes too much space to those who know little about the subject and have never carried out serous investigations and whose opinions are thus hardly worth commenting on.” I wonder who he means sounds like the debunkers…. I focused on the research of Dr. James E. McDonald, associate director of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (most UFOs are indeed seen in the atmosphere) and a full professor of Physics at the University of Arizona. Jim interviewed over 500 witnesses, lectured to many professional groups and provided a 71-page paper concerning 41 cases he had examined to Congressional Hearings in 1968 (see books, etc.). Another focus was Dr. J. Allen Hynek, head of the astronomy department at Northwestern University and for more than 20 years consultant to the Air Force Project Blue Book. He investigated many sightings as reported, for example, in his book The UFO Experience. I also noted the outstanding work of Ted Phillips, who has collected literally thousands of physical trace cases from more than 80 countries and visited many hundreds of sites. Perhaps Harney is referring to Dr. Carl Sagan whom I did criticize and who has indeed never done any serious investigations? Harney falsely claims that I said “The reason why we don’t have definitive proof of UFO reality is government secrecy.” He fails to address the obvious question which is “How can governments keep secret for over 60 years something over which they have no control?” Harney should obviously realize that governments don’t need to control the aliens. They definitely do control the sophisticated devices for monitoring and tracking UFOs and examining UFO wreckage from events such as Roswell, and the dissemination of that data, which is born classified. These include ground, air, and space radar systems, radar and cameras on board aircraft chasing UFOs, and on board ships at sea. During WW2 governments made sure that no word was spread about Japanese Fugo Balloon bombs which they also didn’t control.


    My co-author, Kathleen Marden, has commented about Harney’s uninformed views about her chapters.

    Response to “The Magonia Blog’s” book review of Science Was Wrong by Stanton T. Friedman, M.Sc. and Kathleen Marden (Kathleen Marden’s reply)

    I was somewhat dismayed but not surprised by “The Magonia Blog’s” review of our new book, Science Was Wrong: Startling Truths About Cures, Theories, and Inventions “They” Declared Impossible. Magonia’s reviewer, John Harney, delivered a fairly accurate assessment of our book’s subject matter “how scientific and technological progress has been retarded by authoritative persons who have declared innovations and inventions be either wrong or of no practical use.” He then mentions some of our more controversial chapters — global warming, parapsychology and UFOs. The scientific evidence for the latter are discussed in a section titled “Frontiers of Science.” He should have mentioned that our book is divided into five sections: Aerospace, Technology, Medicine, Politics, and the Frontiers of Science.

    He claims that “The authors favour the genuineness of psychic phenomena, as one would expect.” as if the information presented were based upon emotionality rather than statistical evidence. But he fails to inform the reader of my (Kathleen’s) extensive research of tightly controlled experimental studies, designed by parapsychologists and skeptics working together, that indicate there is reproducible scientific evidence in support of psi phenomena in thousands of telepathy experiments. He also avoids mentioning the failure of academia to accept the results due to personal bias and the National Research Council of the National Academy of Science’s call for “a fairer hearing across a broader spectrum of the scientific community so that emotionality does not impede the object assessment of experimental results.” This came after a Harvard University professor was asked by the committee to withhold information favorable to psi.

    Harney fails to mention that my chapter (Kathleen’s) on alien abduction discusses the infamous “Trick Memo” written at the project’s inception in 1966 by Robert Low, the Condon Committee’s project coordinator , that clearly voices the biased opinion that “In order to undertake such a project, one would have to approach it objectively. That is, one has to admit the possibility that such things as UFOs exist. It is not respectable to give serious consideration to such a possibility… The very act of admitting these possibilities just as possibilities put us beyond the pale… I can quite easily imagine, however, that psychologists, sociologists and psychiatrists might well generate scholarly publications as a result of their investigations of saucer observers.” Nor does he mention the fact that Section 7 of the National Academy of Science’s review report recommended that “UFO reports should be of interest to social scientists.”

    He does claim however, that I “attack the work of psychologists who attribute such (abduction) reports to the effects of sleep paralysis.” Attack is an extremely strong word to describe my discussion of the characteristics of sleep paralysis and hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations. There is no “attack” on psychologists who favor the sleep paralysis hypothesis. In fact, I don’t even mention names — only the statement that some experiencers do not have the classic symptoms of sleep paralysis (waking up paralyzed and able to move only one’s eyes). Instead, they cry out, attempt to flee, or throw things at their captors prior to the onset of paralysis. I also stated that some wake up locked out of their homes, on their roofs, in someone else’s home or in their vehicles. On page 205 I wrote, “A full 30 percent of abductees recall the entire experience without hypnosis, and do not fit nicely into the sleep anomaly or fantasy-prone personality group.” Does this presentation of research findings sound like an attack? Certainly debunkers must shutter when they hear this information. He further alleges that my “dismissive attitude is hardly scientific.” Actually, my attitude is not dismissive. I clearly state that some individuals believe they have been abducted by aliens, for a variety of psychological reasons, when they have not. I also present evidence that some psychological hypotheses don’t hold water and some psychological studies appear to be biased. Harney’s problem is that I don’t dismiss all UFO abductions.

    My chapter actually focuses upon the results of academic psychology studies of suspected or self identified abductees that might explain alien abduction and the surprising results of studies conducted in the US and Canada. I then present the evidence that some alien abductions are real.

    Harney lambasts me for my paragraph on the work of Derrel Sims and Roger Leir on alleged alien implants. I suppose he is distressed that I wrote about the medical finding that tissue surrounding the implants exhibits no signs of inflammatory response, and a large number of specialized nerve cells within the tissue samples had no anatomical reason to be there. Horrors! Even worse, I mentioned Leir’s report that one suspected implant emitted a radio frequency that would broadcast in a deep-space frequency, and that one of Leir’s specimens showed trace element patterns and isotopic ratios consistent with meteoric origin (see my footnotes). Harney summarily dismisses these scientific findings with the statement that “they have never presented any evidence that there is anything exotic about any of these.” You decide.

    It is clear that Harney objected to my overview of the research findings on both sides of the debate and would have preferred a narrow discussion in support of psychological hypotheses. However, the chapter’s title is “The Conundrum of Alien Abduction.” The American Heritage Dictionary defines conundrum as “a problem admitting of no satisfactory solution; A difficult and complicated problem.” Both sides of the issue deserve discussion.
