Could Mysterious Engravings of Ancient Egyptians in Australia Rewrite our History?
Steve Strong, New Dawn| Until receiving a phone call from Nina Angelo (OAM), I knew nothing of neither the struggles involved in protecting the land around Kariong (near Gosford) nor that part of this land was now on the market. When on-site I had seen a lot of tagged trees, and a for sale sign somewhere along a main road, but being unfamiliar with the whole region, nothing registered.
The land for sale contains the Gosford Glyphs, located near Kariong, about 60 km north of Sydney. This site features little known carved ‘ancient Egyptian’ hieroglyphs that were brought to light by various researchers in past decades.
We are convinced that close to this site, and never before seen by non-Aboriginals until discovered very recently, is a rock platform covered with a set of sacred engravings of considerable significance. On this large platform we saw a fish, serpent, massive dolphin or whale, circles and a variety of shapes and symbols.
Without doubt, it is an impressive gallery of ancient Aboriginal rock art deserving of protection. There is one life-sized engraving of Durramullan (son of Creation Spirit Biamie) that is so unique, utterly unexpected, and obviously sacred, decisions had to be made as to how it can be publicly described.
There is nothing remotely like it anywhere in Australia. And that’s it. That is all we have agreed to reveal. The photographs taken late in the afternoon on this site, and in particular those of Durramullan, should never be reproduced or published through any form of the media but…
Owing to the real possibility this land, irrespective of the credentials for or against the Gosford Glyphs, could be sold then developed, a different approach is compulsory. It has been our agreed stance to categorise all the sites/relics we are sharing as being ‘found within 2 hours of Sydney’, but that generalised approach doesn’t apply in this location. Those engravings, and other related platforms (one is actually located within this block) are now directly under threat.
The distance between this unique site and that of the Gosford Glyphs is far too close for coincidence or comfort. As to determining the bona fides of this supposed Egyptian site, we have one advantage. According to Dr. Hans-Dieter von Senff, who has produced a draft paper on the site:
These Hieroglyphs are real and have existed for some 4,500 years in Australia. In order to prove that these Proto-Egyptian glyphs are not graffiti, as claimed by various “Experts” and “Egyptologists,” but are the written record left by pre-historic man, written in a coherent and understandable language that makes sense even 4,500 years later. This site is no hoax, but a genuine archaeological discovery; as is proven by the newly discovered second set of glyphs.
The critics who dispute the origin of these engravings numbering over 300 are not sensitive to the bigger picture, and if proven to be engraved by Egyptians, these glyphs form a pivotal and historic epitaph to an Australian history very few suspect. The engravings were first properly translated by Ray Johnson, claimed to be proto-Egyptian and accepted “as correct by the General Director of Cairo Museum, Dr. Dia’ Abou-Ghazi.”1 However, despite the endorsement of the resident expert in Cairo, Australian academics with less impressive credentials are adamant this is an elaborate hoax.
The site includes an engraved Ankh (see image above courtesy of Steve Strong), an essential accompaniment to Thoth, placed alongside an Ibis footprint (Thoth’s recent animal counterpart) and what we believe to be the ‘River of Life’. Two Ibis-men engraved into rock, both in profile with the head of an ibis and body of a human, seem to resonate to the same ancient Egyptian theme. What really surprised us was that not only are the ibis and Thoth synonymous, but originally Thoth was depicted in ape-form. And it is this more ancient representation that is found twice in Australia, extending the horizons considerably. A statue found at Gympie, said to act as one of five sentries guarding the controversial seven-stepped pyramid at Gympie, is a depiction of Thoth in his more primal ape-like form and has been argued over and often ridiculed.
The recent discovery of an engraving of Durramullan, again in profile, is less open to debate. The pronounced long forehead and protruding lips is reminiscent of a baboon or one of the larger apes, and so out of context when carved into a continent lacking ape or monkey. The engraving is ancient, carved by an artist aware of an African animal and Egyptian deity supposedly unknown until the British invasion. In what only adds to the quality and quantity of this cross-cultural partnership, there are two sets of Aboriginal engravings, one containing 31 separate and distinct human characters and the other five figures, of which three have human bodies and what appears to be crocodile heads.
It is for these reasons, and many others, we are in complete agreement with Robert Lawlor, author of the highly regarded Voices of the First Day, when noting the same origin and sequence. “The Egyptian religious practices, zoomorphic pantheon of gods, concepts of death and rebirth, sorcery, magic and medicine all have their origins in the primal culture of the First Day.”2
We see the presence of Egyptians in Australia beginning at around 5,000 years ago, entirely in keeping with a global history that saw, for a variety of reasons too complex to discuss now, the Australian Aboriginal mariners and explorers finally return to Australia at around the same time. We believe the glyphs and other Egyptian remains found ‘within two hours of Sydney’ bear testimony to a spiritual sabbatical to the place where Egyptian religion and culture began.
That the Gosford Glyphs are so close to the sacred Durramullan site suggests an agreement between the first Australians and people from a distant continent. The Durramullan platform is undeniably special, and the Glyphs are an integral part of this arrangement, unique not only in Australia but the world. The Egyptian crypt and engravings, dedicated to the memory of the son of a Pharaoh, was constructed close to the Durramullan rock platform and could only be created with the consent of the local Aboriginals.
Of course, if Australian Aboriginals did sail the globe in ancient times this journey is dependent upon ocean-going boats being constructed in Australia. Up at the Top End there are many engravings and paintings of boats which are mistakenly claimed to be inspired by Maccassan boats fishing for trepan. No such claims can be made for the engraving of an ocean-going boat found in the northern section of the Gosford site. The boat’s design, with a steep prow and stern, has one primary function: to sail through large waves. It would be a waste of time, effort and resources to construct a boat according to the shape and proportions engraved into the rock, if the vessel sailed in stiller waters. More importantly, this engraving goes a long way towards establishing the claims made by Ramindjeri Elders. If indeed, as they insist, their ancestors circumnavigated the globe in a figure eight then this sophisticated design would serve that purpose.
That engraving and the Ramindjeri account provide answers to a series of unresolved questions that mainstream academia are unable to appreciate. The presence of Australian Aboriginal people in America was the focus of Issue 35 of the highly respected science magazine Cosmos. The front cover carried the following caption: “Did Aborigines discover America? Startling new finds suggest Australia’s first people made it all the way to South America more than 11,000 years ago.”3
Of course, America was merely one port-of-call when the First Australians set sail. “Dr. Raghavendra and researchers from the Indian-government backed Anthropological Survey of India project found unique genetic mutations were shared between modern-day Indians and Aborigines.”4 They “identified seven people from central Dravidian and Austro-Asiatic tribes who shared genetic traits only found in Aborigines.”5 These facts, along with newly discovered Australian genetic links to a hominid in Siberia referred to as Denosovan, necessitate the same means of transport: a boat.
However, the plan of a boat is insufficient. Also required are both the tools needed to construct such a vessel and navigational skills before sailing to India, America, Asia, Egypt or any other destination. An axe is an essential prerequisite if building a vessel capable of sailing across oceans. In keeping with all other firsts, it should come as no surprise that the oldest axes yet found are located within Sahul (the greater Australian continent which includes PNG, Tasmania, etc). The oldest axe was found at Huon Terrace (PNG) and is dated at 40,000 years, followed by an axe found in Jawoyn land (N.T.) claimed to be 35,500 years old. Remaining within Australia, an axe was discovered at Sandy Creek (QLD 32,000 years) and another at Malangangerr (N.T. 23,000 years). In what confirms the antiquity of Australian axe technology, and by association boats, Angel John Gallard has in his possession a hand-held chopper (the precursor to the axe) which he believes to be no less than 60,000 years old, with the real possibility it is over 100,000 years old. The oldest axe discovered outside Australia was found at Niah Cave (Sarawak) and is thought to be 15,500 years old.
For such an epic journey to succeed, especially if circumnavigating the world in a figure eight, Aboriginal mariners must have navigated by the stars. Once again it all begins here. As announced by a team of scientists from the CSIRO, the oldest astronomical construction was found at Wurdi Youang (Victoria). “The strange stone arrangement”6 has “two points set in perfect alignment with the setting sun on a midsummer’s day.”7 CSIRO experts are of the opinion the “ancient Aboriginal sundial could be upwards of 10,000 years old.”8 Nor do these rocks stand in isolation – there are two sets of walls recently found in the Snowy Mountains, the first is aligned east-west, marking out the conjunction of planets and contains no less than 10,000 rocks. The second is at least four times bigger and runs down an extremely steep slope.
Within ‘two hours from Sydney’ is a perfectly aligned five-rocked compass and another construction that is far more enigmatic, which for obvious reasons, we call ‘mini-Stonehenge’. It is made up of 46 stones in the inner circle and 18 rocks forming what we feel are clusters of stars. The four directions are marked out by arches with a horizontal stone supported by stone pillars. All four constructions, although separated by hundreds of kilometres, serve the same purpose: charting the heavens.
There is one pattern exhibited by these sites that seems to openly contradict an artistic maxim we assumed held fast throughout Australia. It was our belief that traditional Aboriginal art was region specific. Within this area we have found over 25 styles/techniques, many of which are claimed to be created in one tribal estate. We found evidence of the following Aboriginal artistic styles: Panaramitee; X-Ray; Figurative; Mimi; Lightning Brothers; Wandjina; Papunya; Hand stencils (two types); Representational; Rock engraving; Rock Pecking; Stone Arrangements; Bands across the body; Egyptian symbols; Bird prints; Engraved shield design (found throughout Australia); Profiled spirits; and others we could not identify.
Where does that leave us? Relying on textbooks and academics ‘dazed and confused’… Or there is an alternative route. We are convinced the First Australians are completely separate to the Africans and were the first homo sapien sapiens. It was from Australia, not Africa, the first migration originated, and it is from Australia that religion, gender equality, astronomy, burials, sailing, music, art, democracy and all the nobler pursuits began. And it is in Australia, in particular the area ‘within 2 hours from Sydney’, that proof of this global legacy can still be found.

ALIEN ABDUCTION WITH PHYSICAL MARKS IN OHIO DECEMBER 24, 2014 ……. EASTERN OHIO
Hello Mr. Strickler: I am giving you permission to publish my incident but I do not want any personal information disclosed. To begin, I had an strange incident when I was a child living in south Florida. I could never explain it and I did not want my family to know about it. It involved, what I believe, an abduction by alien beings. I don’t remember the specifics other than I went to bed, got up to go to the bathroom but don’t remember returning to my bed. When I woke in the morning, there was an ache in my neck and a small bump at the base of my skull. The pain went away quickly but the small bump remained. I never told my parents about it and they never noticed it. That incident occurred 54 years ago. I now live in a rural township in eastern Ohio. My husband and I have lived here for over 40 years and are well-known within the community. My husband owns a business and employs several of the area’s residents. We have raised 4 children and are also grandparents. We have been very happy with our life. This past Christmas Eve, I was alone at home during the day. My husband was at work and some of my children and their families were visiting for the holidays. They had all gone out to visit friends and to do some shopping, so I was the only one at home. Around 1:00 PM I decided to sit down in the club room and watch television. I had been busy all day cooking and doing a few other things, so I decided to take a break. I sat on the sofa and turned on the television with the remote control. As I was surfing channels the television suddenly went off. I just figured I had accidentally turned it off with the remote, but I was unable to turn it back on. I got up and starting walking toward the television when everything went black. The next thing I remember is waking up on the sofa. My neck was very sore and I was laying on the sofa completely nude. My clothes were folded neatly and setting on the coffee table. I quickly dressed and noticed that the television was on and that the time was 2:48 PM. I went to rub my sore neck and noticed that the small bump that I had for 54 years was now gone. I went into the bathroom in order to look at the back of my neck with a handheld mirror. There was a 2 inch vertical red scar where the small bump had previously been. Today is Thursday Dec. 27th, 2012. My neck no longer hurts and the scar has healed nicely. It is barely noticeable. I had never told my husband about my incident as a child, but yesterday I explained everything to him. He is very open-minded and believes in UFOs and other strange things. I also told my older son about it and he suggested I contact you. I believe he reads your articles and that you have talked to him in the past. My older son believes that I experienced an abduction. In fact, my husband agrees with him as well. Like I stated earlier, you have my permission to publish if personal details are removed. I have included my contact information below. Thank you for your time. SK NOTE: Last evening, out of the blue, I received an email from SK’s son (RK). I hadn’t remembered the original email from SK though I was sure I had posted it. RK reminded me of the incident…then stated that SK had suddenly passed away in December 2014. I was able to contact him be telephone this morning. RK said that he had kept close tabs on the Todd Sees incident on the blog. He didn’t go into detail about SK’s death but did state that the family believes that his Mother’s experiences contributed to her demise. RK then mentioned that she was constantly worried that she would be abducted and thought her family may also be victims at some point. I asked RK to keep me posted in case other information comes to light. I didn’t want to push him on specific details…I feel if he thinks I should be told more particulars, that he’ll offer the information at some point. Most experiencers I have talked to struggle with continued fear and anxiety. Many are told that they will be monitored and to expect more contact at a later time. There is little doubt that these incidents place undue strain on the body and mind. Is alien science / technology resulting in loss of life? Are experiments (and disposal) conducted on abductees? I believe that there is more of a possibility of these scenarios than ever before. Lon
Lately we have had to focus on the negative aliens of the Draco species as well their negative Grays and Reptilians consorts in order to expose the matrix agenda. There are astral taps that exist as a part of their matrix program and they needed to be identified in order to recognize them more easily. We will now move to a neutral perspective in order to explore the origin, evolution, and qualities of some of the extraterrestrials tied to the planet at this time.
As I have mentioned, there are positive and negative beings within each extraterrestrial race. We exist within a Universe of free will which allows duality to be present; good and bad, right and wrong. I posted an In5d article that has some information from Wes Penre on his viewpoint of identifying good and bad races, called Extraterrestrial Races: The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly.
In a world without the matrix and duality, we could easily imagine seeing ourselves side by side with an array of different beings not unlike the Cantina bar in the movie Star Wars. The future holds this time, and we are rapidly bringing it forward in the now. In order to accept others into our lives, it is helpful to recognize who we really are.
We have had many lives and experiences that we are currently drawing upon. There are many races of extraterrestrials here on, in, and around the planet at this time. When I came across the information I am sharing with you from Amariah on her website, soulsalight.com it was of great interest to me to wonder whether I had lives as Zeta Reticulans, Reptilians, Andromedans, Arcturians, Aliens, Felines, or Pleiadians. Of course there are many other races including Sirians, Lyrans, etc., but they are not mentioned in this particular source of information.
You may have characteristics that stand out more than others that match some of these extra terrestrial races:
Zeta Reticulan Grays
Place of Origin: These beings are a product of this universe. They originally developed in the Zeta Reticuli binary star system, which is about 39 light years from Earth.
Dimensional Perspectives: Exist in 4D and some are evolving into 5D
Appearance: These look like the gray alien image so commonly known today. There are many forms, but they generally all have large heads, big black eyes, spindly bodies, and grayish skin with many color variations. They range in size from 3-6’ in height and can have 3-5 long fingers and some are webbed. They are less physically dense than we are, yet retain use of a body form and can change their physical vessels for different purposes.
Evolution: Zetas are ahead of us by a few million years or so. They started in the Zeta Reticuli system, but have become space travelers and many spend their entire existence in space. The variety of Zeta appearances is because of their extensive travel and settlement in different environment and their adaptation to space and time travel. However, since they became aware long ago that their consciousness is not their physical container, they consciously can move into different bodies. They tend to stick with a form that suits their jobs or roles at any given time. They are highly technologically and scientifically advanced. Various gray species have different histories, and some are known to have over emphasized their focus on technology to the detriment of other qualities. But, most have now evolved to be able to integrate with their technology in a symbiotic relationship and have learned to balance their spirituality with their technological dependency. They understand that their tools also have consciousness and they work with that consciousness. These beings have been involved with the evolution of many 3D species, including humans, because of their advances in genetic engineering and their ability to still work within a 3D environment.
Qualities: Telepathic, telekinetic, high mental function. They appear emotionless, but are experts at reading frequency and do not need physical expression to relay feeling. They are scientific problem solvers, see through time and space and are energy transformers.
Abilities: Zetas can integrate with the consciousness of anything, and they create this way. Their ships and equipment respond to their telepathic communication and are considered live beings. They are time travelers and can shift from 3D to 4D and can move others through these dimensions as well, by shifting their frequency. They operate from heightened emotional states, and thus are not influenced by denser emotions. They can manipulate energy fields, which allows them to heal and create mental projections and alter sensations.
Specialties: Zetas are called upon for upgrading species from 3D to 4D. They do this with genetic methods to which there is an energetic component, and through teaching spiritual principles to help species learn to use their psychic acumen. They are evolutionary helpers and also guardians that watch over species progression. Zetas also assist with modulating star seed energies to integrate with 3D physical bodies for incarnation.
Basic Needs: Connection and understanding. Zetas live for their sense of interconnectedness. If they lose this they feel lost. They also need the understanding that comes with connecting to one another and all beings and hence form collectives that work together to solve problems.
Focus: Advancement and species evolution. Zetas are excited and motivated by evolution and the integration of species and how the soul can evolve by means of experiencing different forms.
Involvement with Earth: The Zetas have been involved with Earth periodically since the first life forms were established here, and with humanity since their earliest evolutionary leaps. They have always been here as guardians and aids in our development and in assisting with DNA upgrades. They have been asked by galactic councils to create an Earth human/Zeta hybrid in order to help humans leap to a new level of consciousness and further the ongoing universal human expression.
The Zetas have obtained a reputation for their much misunderstood abductions and human experiments. It has been surmised by many that they do these abductions to obtain DNA from human beings in order prolong their own species, but nothing could be farther from the truth. They already have the skill to clone their bodies, which are well adapted for space travel, and shift their souls into new bodies. They are far from a dying species. They do not feel fear the way humans do, and thus they appear cold to this emotion. It is seen by many beings that fear is a detriment to human evolution and galactic relations. Hence, this is one of the attributes the Zetas are attempted to diminish in the new hybrids. It is true that these hybrids will not exist on Earth alone, and that Zeta beings will in some cases transfer their consciousness into these hybrids, as will Earth souls. They are meant to be an evolutionary leap of potential expression for many in the universe to experience. If you think this is playing God, please read the pages on Soul Origin and Purpose.
Guides for Humanity: E2s (4D collective of evolutionary teachers), Meleah (Zeta/Hyman Hybrid from the future)
Star seeds: There are millions of Zeta souls incarnate on Earth. There are also Zeta Hybrids that are humans being born with advanced Zeta DNA. They look just like any human being, though sometimes they have striking features like larger heads and eyes. The updated advanced hybrids are born in the 80’s with more Zeta DNA. Later hybrids have even more refined Zeta qualities that can be activated. Many of the Indigo and Crystal children are activating Zeta DNA. Not all the hybrids have a Zeta soul and not all Zeta star seeds are hybrids. Each are playing their roles in spurring the human evolutionary shift. Often the Zeta souls are acting as activators of other’s abilities in some way or another. They are often teachers, guides and can be healers as well. They are usually considered “out there” thinkers as they see beyond physical limits. This can make them seem lazy at times, because they do not get why they can’t just move things with their minds. Communication can be difficult also, because they don’t always compute physical gestures and the limits of verbal language. These starseeds are usually advanced in some way. They think and create using their imagination and by tapping into astral knowledge and surrounding energy fields. These hybrid’s and Zeta souls are teaching and becoming the future potential of humanity of Earth. Incidentally, some of these hybrids visit or communicate with Earth from what you consider the future. These hybrids are an evolutionary success story in the future of this galaxy.
Reptilians
Place of Origin: The Draconian beings originally came from another universe after the universe already created stars and planets and the Avian and Feline races were already developing here billions of years ago. They established themselves in the Draco and Orion constellation regions and then set out to conquer other worlds.
Dimensional Perspectives: Exist from 3D on up to 12D
Appearance: The original Reptilian master race is Draconian, which have the form of Dragons. They are huge winged beings of immense power. There are now many forms of Reptilian beings in the universe. Some are fully reptilian, and some are human reptilian hybrids.
Evolution: The Draconian race came in small numbers after this universe was formed. They found and opened the gateway that is in the Lyran Constellation. They were a renegade group whose motives were to find new lands to conquer and to multiply. They became a menace to many evolving worlds and did not abide by limits of interference set by creator beings and angelic consciousness. The Reptilians developed a disturbing reputation in this universe. But, the Draconian Royal lineage has since evolved to a high stature and they cooperate in guiding creation in the universe. There are many Reptilian races that are still war like and a bit rough. While others have evolved to find the power within their heart centers and are a powerful positive force in creating new civilizations.
Qualities: Strength, stamina, intense, influential, bold and aggressive, refined instincts, builders, honorable, brave, loyal, protective. Beneath the tough skin they have hearts of gold when they activate this from within. Prone to outbursts of sentiment that can be overwhelming to other races.
Abilities: They tend to see advantages in all situations and can strategize ways to effectively complete any goal. Instincts are acute. They sense motives and some say they smell fear and weakness, but also strengths. Many species are only crudely telepathic, if at all, thus they often depend on telepathic translators in their galactic dealings. But, again, their instinctual prowess serves them well. They also can energetically shapeshift into other beings.
Specialties: Reptilians will get the job done no matter what it takes. They are social builders and can see how talents can best be used to accomplish tasks. They establish effective hierarchies and rules to make teams succeed. Higher dimensional Reptilians are called upon to bring order and direction to common pursuits. They bring loyalty and sense of duty to endeavors.
Basic Needs: Respect and Order. Reptilians generally need others to respect their strength and instincts. They have strong desires to bring order out of chaos.
Focus: Bringing spirit of accomplishment, duty, loyalty, courage and order to all situations. Evolving Reptilians seek to reveal the strength within their hearts and to use this power to elevate projects.
Involvement with Earth: The Draconian race created the Dinosaurs on Earth. They were an early experiment in for Gaia consciousness. Then it was agreed by universal councils that there was time for new life to blossom on Earth, but that reptiles would remain in smaller forms. Much later, after humans were evolved in sentience, a 4D Reptilian race became involved in enslaving human beings to do their bidding and there was some genetic mixing that occurred without permission from guardians of Earth. This race and other Reptilian beings are trying to rectify this mistake now. Earth humans still have Reptilian DNA. It is hoped that the positive aspects of this can be strengthened in the race. Much of the overly aggressive and militant behaviors of humans came from these genes that were not planned for. There is also much resentment and negative influence from this early Reptilian influence that exists energetically in the astral field of Earth and human collective consciousness.
Guide for Humanity: Crestonia (12D Draconian Queen)
Star seeds: The Reptilians souls on Earth today are often from 5D evolved races that are here to remedy the negative influences from past reptilian beings. They are heart centered with a profound power to use their loyalty and sense of duty to awaken unconditional love on Earth. Hidden beneath what may appear to be guarded nature, lies a huge capacity to transcend differences and find acceptance for all walks of life. These souls are often leaders in whatever they do. They make wonderful group coordinators and event organizers and will usually finish what they start. They can come across too strong or boisterous, and some may say arrogant. But again, when they let down the guard that covers their heart, they reveal an amazing gift that allows them to see the love and talents of others and lead them to accomplish great things. These souls are often attracted to politics, community groups, the military, corporate structures, building contracting, or anything that makes use of their skills to organize, lead and build something. However, even if they do solitary activities, such as writing a book, they will give it sound structure and will gather everything they need with diligence and internal heart. Note that some can see the Reptilian soul within these humans and will think they are shapeshifting. Since humans have Reptilian DNA it is easy for these souls to incarnate within the human form and their true appearance can be seen by some.
Andromedans
Place of Origin: These are our galactic neighbors, only 2.5 million light years away.
Dimensional Perspectives: Exist from 3D on up to 12D
Appearance: There are many types of Andromedans, just as there are many different beings in our Milky Way Galaxy. Three types of Andromedans have telepathically contacted me. One is from a race of 4-5D humans that have a similar features to us, but I see them as bald. Some may even have elongated cone heads. Another, was from a race of 4D 3-4’ blue skinned humanoids with bald round heads and dark eyes, and the other is of a master race of at least 7-9’ winged humanoids existing in higher dimensions. These may have their origin with the Avian races.
Evolution: Not yet aware of the Andromeda species evolution, but I am sure it is as varied and rich as it is in the Milky Way galaxy.
Qualities: Not privy yet to specifics differentiating Andromedan races. Still learning. However, the beings connecting with thus far are of intense energy and vitality.
Abilities: Unknown, but that can change anytime.
Specialties: Still gathering from these beings. Each has its own specialty.

Involvement with Earth: The winged beings have been involved with Earth since our first life formed and with humans at various stages of our development. It may be that the Sumerian winged beings depicted on their reliefs are Andromedans. They say they have been invited by the Guardian Archangels of Earth to participate in our progression and that they come to our solar system on the wings of the Archangels who are the gatekeepers to Earth. Perhaps the depictions of archangels are actually images of the winged Andromedans coming as they came into our world and were thought to be the angels themselves.
Guide for Humanity: Andon (ambassador of the winged race of Andromedans)
Star seeds: There are less Andromedan souls incarnated here than the beings listed from our Milky Way Galaxy, but there are still more than from other galaxies. Somewhere in the vicinity of 800,000 humans have an Andromedan origin soul. They usually live understated lives and only contain a small bit of their Andromedan energy. The frequency is much different than that of our galaxy and this appears to affect the ease of incarnation and the amount of soul energy that can be maintained in the human form in 3D. These people are often quiet warriors that are in the background and do not call too much attention to themselves. They are often in supportive roles for Earth masters or are in the shadows playing roles that seem mundane. Within this quiet demeanor they have a great potency and can deeply affect others with their presence. They often fear their own power and are unsure what to do with that internal strength. In just being here, these souls opens new galactic energetic pathways between our galaxies.
Arcturians
Place of Origin: A planet of the star Arcturus 36.7 light years from us.
Dimensional Perspectives: Exist from 4D to 6D
Appearance: Arcturians are humanoid, but have different features than us. I see the 6D Arcturians as tall white glowing figures with angled and intense eyes. These Arcturians may be what have been termed Tall Whites. Others who have contact with lower dimensional 4D forms describe them as short with wider faces and denser stature. These could be a different race of Arcturians or simply be their 4th dimension appearance.
Evolution: Not yet aware of Arcturian evolution, other than they evolved to become a highly spiritual species and are considered to be among the most technically advanced in the galaxy. They may actually have come from Andromeda originally.
Abilities: Experts in use of geometry, color and sound vibrations for altering time, space, atmosphere, and states of being. Energetic alchemist, architects, builders and healers. They see beneath the surface of things and use precise methods to create and alter environments including the health of a vessel.
Specialties: Using sacred geometry to move through space and time and shift realities. Their methods of interdimensional travel and communications are used throughout the universe. They are also called upon to create geometrical sound and color forms to alter or transmit to developing worlds. Arcturians are often the master minds behind the crop circle signatures. They create amazing ships of light that can traverse many dimensions and are sought after.
Basic Needs: Appreciation and being needed. Arcturians know they are good at what they do, and like to be admired for it. They enjoy using their abilities for constructive purposes.
Focus: Designing and implementing their brilliant ideas to be of service in the universe. Involvement with Earth: The Arcturians are our neighbors and at one point a group inhabited Earth, long before humans became sentient and before Lemuria and Atlantis. It was decided by galactic councils that there would be other experiments to help local species develop on Earth, so they left. But they still retain an interest in Earth’s progress and today they make contact attempting to open humanity to new thought, especially via their use of sacred geometry. They design crop circle forms to input new evolutionary frequencies into Earth and her inhabitants.
Guide for Humanity: El Ectarus (6D Ambassador to Earth)
Star seeds: There are many million Arcturian souls born on Earth and a good portion are among the younger generation. It is felt that these starseeds can play an important role as ambassadors to the neighboring 4D Arcturians and also elevate humanities capabilities in their areas of expertise. These starseeds will be the planners and builders of a new society through their innovations. They not only see beyond the present structures and systems, they can also add an understanding of the frequencies inherent in form. They can be cutting edge mathematicians, physicists, geometry artists, architects, community planners, system designers, technology wizards, musicians that have a talent for precise use of tones for affect, and energy healers that use geometry and sound to heal specific organs and mental states. These souls like nothing more than to experiment and see their ideas in action.
Avians
Place of Origin: The Avian Extraterrestrials originally came from another universe. Now ET Bird Beings are found throughout this universe in many forms.
Dimensional Perspectives: Exist from 3D on up to 12D
Appearance: Large birds in many varieties and some human bird hybrids
Evolution: There were already highly evolved Avian Species that entered this Universe from another, billions of years ago. They remain as an elite group of 12D beings. However, many Avians in this Universe have evolved from small birds that were seeded by the 12D Avians on 3D planets in various galaxies. They evolved huge diversity of color, size, and adaptations. Eventually many developed an expanded consciousness because of their ability to see a big picture of their world. Their sentience developed from their visionary perspective and ability to move via thought. Some found themselves able to teleport and soar in their minds to other lands and then planets. This expanded their reach and they found themselves inhabiting new worlds. Later avian species were genetically mixed with humans, as this was an experimental trend in this universe. Birds of Earth are a gift from the higher dimensional Avian beings to help regulate our electromagnetic atmosphere.
Qualities: Visionary, precognitive, teleporters, uplifting, way showers, expansive, freedom lovers, keen intelligence and multidimensional sight, industrious, efficient, excellent observers.
Abilities: Bright intelligence that sees from angles that no other can. Can uplift any situation and take it to new levels of thought. Easily raise vibrations. Free thinkers and feelers that are not bound by confines of group consciousness. Have a memory that holds the essence of everything they encounter.
Specialties: Higher dimensional forms are often called upon for their natural higher perspective and to raise the bar in any situation. They can be many places at once and usually send only an energetic form of themselves around the universe for consultations. Less evolved avians remain on their home planet and evolve their abilities in their own unique ways.
Basic Needs: Freedom and Honor. Do not try to confine a sentient avian being. They honor all life and expect to be honored as well.
Focus: Expanding frontiers of thought and creation. Raising frequency and taking situations and ideas to higher levels of knowing.
Involvement with Earth: Seeded bird species on Earth following the end of the Dinosaurs’ reign. Higher dimensional avian beings have dropped in on Earth civilizations to help enlighten to new perspectives, usually through communications with advanced masters or high priests and shamans. Guide for Humanity: Thoth (12D ambassador collective)
Star seeds: There are only in the hundreds of thousands of avian souls incarnate on Earth. These beings do not prefer to work through this confining method. They often feel uncomfortable in human skin and desire to get out of where they are. It is disconcerting for them to be confined in any way. Those avian souls that have braved human incarnation are here to raise the energetic potential of the race and help them to see beyond the astral influences to higher heights. They are cage breakers and will always be looking for ways out of limiting situations by stretching belief systems. They are the Wright Brothers of humanity. Daring to think the impossible dream. They can be found in any field, but often those requiring high intellect and attention to minute details and observations that others miss. They remember things that others forget. Avian souls can be excellent detectives or spies. They are inventors, scientists, professors, poets, and innovators of all kinds. They sometimes pursue their vision at the expense of more mundane things in life, as they can have a mad scientist tendency and be a bit in the clouds.
Felines
Place of Origin: Originally these beings came from another universe. They are prominent in the Sirius Star System, but exist in other star systems as well.
Dimensional Perspectives: Exist from 3D on up to 12D
Appearance: Bipedal cats or human cat hybrids. Features are similar to Earth felines. Species have taken forms similar to Lions and others look more like our domestic cats with variety of coloration. They can be anywhere from 3-8’ tall.
Evolution: Evolved billions of years ago from quadruped cats to bipedal large cats. Developed higher senses and fine tuned psychic sensitivity as sentience rather than use of physical tools. Later feline species were genetically mixed with humans and have half human bodies with cat features such as tails and feline facial characteristics. These were created from a group of feline genetic engineers. Felines of 6D and higher are energy beings no longer requiring what we perceive as physical form, but they can shape themselves to appear as their original feline form.
Qualities: Curious, adventurous, creative, imaginative, organized, focused, planners, tenacious and intense yet capable of profound relaxation and deep meditation. Independent yet capable of forming close bonds to accomplish goals. While serious about their tasks, they can be quite playful, fun loving, and lighthearted.
Abilities: Highly psychic and telepathic, visionary, and advanced creators. Attune to frequencies and can mold energies to change environments with music, art, dance and theater among all other creative means. Able to connect with other forms of consciousness and co-create with ease.
Specialties: Higher dimensional forms are often galactic travelers and are called upon to shift energies in environments and spark creative flow and psychic abilities. They are also commonly galactic performers, sharing their creative energies in many artistic ways.
Basic Needs: Both comfort and stimulation. This is seen on all levels of development. They love exploring new nooks of the universe, but they enjoy doing it in comfort.
Focus: Personal growth and evolving consciousness and creativity. Felines find fulfillment in sharing their gifts to inspire new ideas and move energy in new directions or to establish states of tranquility.
Involvement with Earth: They seeded feline species on Earth in times of mammal evolution. Prominent in Atlantis/Lemuria and later in Ancient Egypt as guides to humans who sought celestial contact and assistance in developing extrasensory abilities and advances in creativity.
Guide for Humanity: Sekmet (9D ambassador collective). Revered as a god in Ancient Egypt.
Star seeds: There are millions of Feline souls incarnate on Earth now. They are here to bring creative spirit to new levels within humanity. Souls have come from 4D to 9D and each bring their quality of Feline energy to the planet. Usually the characteristics listed above will show themselves in the human personality. They will often have a profound respect for cats of Earth. Though much less common, some purposely distance themselves from the animals in order to claim their independence from the Earth species (unconsciously). While you would think humans with feline souls might be graceful and coordinated, they often feel clumsy in a human body and unsure of their footing. They also believe they should be able to create with their agile minds, and feel awkward having to do mundane physical tasks. Creative ventures are so important to them that they may miss out on human connection as they pursue their dreams. But what they do will usually have a deep energetic influence on others as their projects carry the feline spirit of enlightenment. These souls love to check out new things, ideas and places. They have a knack for spotting trends and being there before others. They are often up on anything fringe or cutting edge to the point where it could get them in trouble. They are often world travelers, but they must have a cozy nook to come home to. They thrive on stimulating input, but they also want to feel the comforts of familiar territory. Feline souls also cherish their alone time and need solitude on a regular basis. But they can cuddle too, on their terms.
Mantis
Place of Origin: These beings are from the Sombrero Galaxy or M104 which is 28 million light years from earth. Yes, in a galaxy far far away.
Dimensional Perspectives: Exist from 3D on up to 9D
Appearance: These are insectoid beings that have features similar to the Praying Mantis insects of Earth, but they stand upright and are at least 8-9 feet tall. Higher dimensional forms are energy beings that maintain their Mantis shape with colorful light.
Evolution: These beings evolved hundreds of millions of years ago on a planet of insects. They became the first to develop advanced self awareness. They developed the use of tools but in unison they became highly sensitive to sound and light and its reflection in colors. They used this special heightened awareness and became highly advanced in the connection and use of frequencies to change their environment and to communicate with each other and their surroundings. In their historical past, Mantis were matriarchal. They have strong female figures who dominated their cultures. Higher dimensional beings have created a more balanced arrangement with these energies. However, the feminine force is still regarded highly and one would not want to diminish this power with a Mantis around. And no decision is ever made without the female aspect first being taken in and it has the final say.
Qualities: Sensitive to sound, color, and vibrational nuances, luminous, spiritual, healers, graceful, fluid, artistic, penetrating, influential.
Abilities: The Mantis beings are masters with vibrations of sound and color. They use this mastery to heal and create. They are artists of universal light. They dance through frequencies and alter their surroundings as they do so. Mantis beings create bubble like force fields to travel through time and space. In lower dimensions they create living spherical ships of light. In higher dimensions they can send their light bodies in single bubbles of light across the universe.
Specialties: Mantis beings are called upon to give guidance and direction to assure high quality standards to all kinds of projects. They assure that the frequencies are appropriate and that the atmosphere and players are conducive to the particular outcome that is desired. They are like the mural painters and anthem singers of in the universe. They bring the right elements together.
Basic Needs: Fluidity and Admiration. Mantis beings need the flexibility to do their fluid dance and they truly love their work to be admired and the blessings of it to be received.
Focus: Weaving color and sound to create and enliven the light web of the universe.
Involvement with Earth: The Mantis are assisting, and in many ways overseeing, the Zeta Reticulan hybrid program, and human spiritual advancement project. Like the Zetas, they were asked by Galactic Councils to participate. They are assuring that universal principals are adhered to as well as giving their expertise in frequency alignment. They are the artists in the hybrid process, if you will. They are often seen in the background during abduction experiences. These are usually 4-5D Mantis beings, but they are tuned into guidance from their higher dimensional kin, who play a part in spiritually guiding them. Prior to this recent involvement, Mantis have had little to do with Earth, other than gifting the planet with the Praying Mantis insect that has since evolved into many glorious colors. These little creatures hold special energy of their Mantis parents. It is no wonder that they are revered by many and are often seen as positive omens.
Guide for Humanity: Kizmet (9D Mantis)
Star seeds: There are over 800,000 Mantis souls incarnated here now and only since the recent hybrid program began. This is a new experience for the race and it is not an easy one. Many of these starseeds feel completely out of place on Earth and in a human body, unless they are of the younger generation who also have Zeta DNA. These souls have it easier as there is a lot of Mantis frequency in their chemistry that is aligned with their being. Those born prior to the 90’s, and there are not as many of these, may have had a hard adjustment period in life. They have felt that if anyone really knew what they are like, they would run, so they hide their inner truth in some way. It has been a difficult task for their angels and other guides to get them to open up and share what they came to share. Once they do open up, their intensity, art, and ability to know what needs to be done to create the perfect environment is uncanny. They are usually artistic in some way. They are writers, musicians, poets, designers of space and events. They have a knack for bringing pieces of a puzzle together and making it sing. Their gifts lie in bringing energy, aesthetic appeal, and vitality to whatever they do. They are here to use these gifts to infuse higher frequencies into hearts and environments through form, sound and color. No one can do this like a fluid dancing Mantis soul. Even if they are in the sciences, or some seemingly uncreative profession, they will bring some extra flare to their job. They are also a huge help to the new generation of souls being born with advanced DNA as they help them align with their higher potential.
Pleiadians
Place of Origin: The Pleiades Star Cluster.
Dimensional Perspectives: Exist from 3D to 9D
Appearance: Appear much like particularly beautiful Earth humans, with perfect bodies and pleasingly symmetrical features with a luminosity reflecting their higher dimensional frequency.
Evolution: Evolved millions of years ago as one of the early races of what we would call humankind and look like we do. This form has been modeled throughout the universe. Pleiadian DNA has been used to develop many human beings in this universe, including those of our solar system on Venus, Mars, Maldeck and Earth. There still exists newly developing 3D planets in the Pleiades, but the Pleiadians that communicate with us are usually 6D and 9D. These are dimensions they work well within and from which they contact other worlds. They have light bodies, yet like other higher dimensional ET beings, they can appear in a form that projects what they evolved from. Having a lot more time to evolve than we have, they have refined their natures and are intensely spiritual and giving beings.
Qualities: Intuitive, sensitive, imaginative, radiant, communicative, empathic, soothing, nurturing, mystical, understated creativity, healers, counselors, in tune with natural worlds.
Abilities: Pleiadians are healers on many levels. They can empathize and sooth all pains with their sensitive communication and transfer of light. They communicate by means of light transfer. These beings have a natural radiance that comes from their mystical knowing of how to connect and share Source light.
Specialties: Pleiadians are called upon to seed new worlds with the essence of evolved human form, and to commune with a planet’s consciousness and its existing life in order to introduce new beings and ideas in a nurturing way. They embody the divine feminine and often will show themselves in female form to radiate this refined quality.
Basic Needs: Peace and sharing. Pleiadians thrive in places and states of peace and tranquility. They feel best when they are sharing their refined essence.
Focus: Transferring their gifts of radiance throughout the universe through seeding and communicating their healing vibrations and mystical awareness.
Involvement with Earth: Provided genetic and energetic model for early human development. They are the missing link in our evolution to our current form. They were guides for Atlantis and Lemuria and have been involved in the nurturing of many life forms on Earth that began elsewhere, such as whales and dolphins. They are responsible for infusing awareness into the many methods of energy healing discovered by humans over the years. They are playing an important role in reinvigorating our beliefs in the mystical elements of our knowledge and helping us open to celestial contact in non threatening manners. They radiate light and soothing energy that we are able to feel because of our genetic link.
Guide for Humanity: Katara (of 6D Pleiadian Emissaries of Light collective)
Star seeds: There are many millions of Pleiadian souls incarnate on Earth and have been since Lemuria. These souls are here to remind us of our divinity and our connection to Source consciousness. They come as healers and inspire us to nurture our spirits and that of the planet. These souls are sensitive and usually extremely intuitive. They also light up the room when they walk in and tend to heal without even knowing. They communicate well with others and are good empathetic listeners. Most leave their presence with a new sense of joy and gratitude. These human star souls often have physical beauty and most incarnate as females and exude feminine strength. They can be overpowering for some human male Earth souls, as they radiate such deep feminine mystique. They are often water signs that flow with emotion and passion and connection to the blood of Gaia. Pleiadian souls connect easily to nature. Animals love them and become calm in their presence. These star seeds can also bring the essence of a person’s soul to the surface and can reflect their purpose and encourage their mission. They are often found in professions of spiritual mastery, healing, psychology, communications, child care, and fields related to ecology and care for the Earth. They often volunteer for causes and give a lot of themselves.
The astral traps
There is a trap in the matrix that wants people to realize their extraterrestrial origins and want to leave the planet and go home to those places. By doing so they are giving up their right to a human body in connection with source through the planet. Having a human body connected to source at this time allows us to integrate all those past lives pieces and parts of you that need to be transmuted back to positive energy.
When you do not want to be here, you are not fully present, centered and grounded. When you are outside of your body, you have opened the door to allow others to occupy that space within your body. These are the beings who do not have a body at this time and this do not have a connection to an energy source. As Earth raises her frequency they will not be able to exist on or around her any more, nor will they be able to move through space without any energy.
Another trap of the matrix is the belief that you are only one of these beings. As we have all had many lives we can see that we may feel familiar with a lot of the other characteristics or maybe none of others. But we probably have had more of one lifetime in an incarnation one of these planets associated with these races than another, and we are relying on those experiences and wisdom in out lives right now.
Finally, the third trap is that negative astral beings have the ability to shape shift and have posed as other races such as Pleiadians and Arcturians in order to bring messages of love, light, and complacency with being “high” (out of the body). These beings which may try to steer people on the planet to either wanting to go home and not connecting with earth have introduced the false light matrix scenario which exists in the astral fifth dimension.
The biggest illusion of all is that we are all of these and more because we are a fractal part of infinite source creator having these individual lives right now.
Centering and grounding with the earth will allow you to enter that place of no time to connect with the parts of you (including other extraterrestrials) that need to be integrated and healed. As you heal yourself, you help to heal the planet, solar system, galaxy, and beyond. By grounding and centering, you also create a natural barrier that does not allow any pieces and parts that are not of you to enter your energy field, no matter what implants or contracts you have made in the past.
Yesterday, I wrote an article about a set of genetic tests done on a sample from one of the famous elongated Paracas skulls, which are 3,000 years old and were found in southern Peru. The basic news was this: some genetic tests had found DNA in the skulls that was reportedly previously “unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far.” The implication, helped by the distinctly B-movie “alien” appearance of the skulls, was that the skulls must contain extraterrestrial DNA. Scientists and archaeologists generally believe that the skulls’ strange appearance is the result of intentional deformation practiced by the Paracas culture.
I saw this story floating around in the paranormal blogosphere for a few days before I decided to report on it. I ignored it, frankly, until it was picked up by Yahoo! and the International Business Times, as well as a few smaller news sources around the world. So I wrote a short article, mostly because it was a silly story that was fun to write about after a morning of writing about human trafficking and illegal gold mining.
But I find this story really, really irritating. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the alien part of this story that bothers me. I believe in the possibility of aliens. More than anything, it bothers me that established news sites apparently failed to do even cursory research on the background of the story before publishing it.
Let’s start with a quick talk about aliens. In an infinite universe, it seems foolhardy— even arrogant— to completely dismiss the idea of extraterrestrial life. There are so many galaxies, so many planets, so many suns; across the neverending expanse of space, one suspects that there must be another group of intelligent beings somewhere.
But suspect is the key word there. We have no credible evidence for the existence of alien civilizations. As Carl Sagan said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” And claiming that the Paracas skulls are possibly alien is certainly extraordinary. So let’s look at the evidence— does it measure up?
Well, the short answer is no. First, consider the source: the preliminary results of genetic testing were announced by Brien Foerster, who is the assistant director of the Paracas History Museum.
That’s a pretty impressive title, and I’ll admit that it threw me. That title implies formal archaeological, curatorial, or history credentials, maybe a body of peer-reviewed research projects. That title implies that he has serious academic credibility, and that we should listen to his announcements about his areas of expertise.
None of this is true. Some pretty basic Google research turns up some facts about Foerster that cast his announcement in an entirely different light.
First, his academic credentials: by cobbling information together from the webpage of his company Hidden Inca Tours and his official Facebook page, it appears that he has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada. Foerster doesn’t offer any further information about his educational background, including his exact field of undergraduate study. I was unable to find any evidence of an advanced degree.
Foerster’s company, Hidden Inca Tours, is a travel agency that specializes in taking travelers on paranormal tours around the world, but focuses on Peru and the surrounding region. Foerster has also written a number of books on archaeology, including one called “The Enigma of Cranial Deformation: Elongated Skulls of the Ancients,” which he wrote with David Hatcher Childress. Vanderbilt University archaeologist Charles E. Orser once called Childress “one of the most flagrant violators of basic archaeological reasoning.”
So what about his role as assistant director at the Paracas History Museum? How did a paranormal tour operator get that job?
Well, first, the Paracas History Museum is a private museum. It’s owned by one Juan Navarro, who is also its director. Navarro is also listed on the Hidden Inca Tours webpage as a member of “Our Team of Experts.” I was unable to find any mention of academic credentials earned by Navarro, either.
My preoccupation with academic credentials is not meant to downplay the immense wisdom and experience possessed by many people who do not have undergraduate or post-grad degrees. Being smart does not require a college degree. Heck, it doesn’t require any kind of education at all; it’s an innate quality.
However, scientific expertise is not an innate quality. It is something that is gained through years of study and research, both of which are usually completed in an institution that awards successful students degrees upon graduation.
To be fair, I don’t have any special academic credentials that make me an expert in archaeology or genetics. But I’m not arguing that the data is flawed— we haven’t seen the full data, and I’m not qualified to speak on that— but I am arguing that a number of features of the announcement should warn us not to take Foerster’s announcement at face value.
That brings us to the strange nature of the announcement. Foerster announced the results personally, via internet, rather than through a scientifically reputable source.
There are a number of problems with the way he announced the preliminary results. Speaking to Discovery.com, science promoter and skeptic Sharon Hill said “This is an unconventional way of making ‘groundbreaking’ claims.”
Hill added “It’s not supported by a university, but by private funding. The initial findings were released in this unprofessional way (via Facebook, websites and an Internet radio interview) obviously because Foerster and the other researchers think this is very exciting news.”
Exciting news is one thing, but scientific credibility is another. “[S]cience doesn’t work by social media,” said Hill. “Peer review is a critical part of science and the Paracas skulls proponents have taken a shortcut that completely undermines their credibility. Appealing to the public’s interest in this cultural practice we see as bizarre — skull deformation —instead of publishing the data for peer-review examination is not going to be acceptable to the scientific community.”
There’s also the matter of the testing itself. According to Foerster, the geneticist who discovered the allegedly never-before-seen DNA, wants to remain anonymous. If that’s not a red flag for the credibility of your research, I don’t know what is.
The final nail in this story’s coffin, for me, was the revelation that Foerster had appeared on the popular History Channel program “Ancient Aliens” multiple times. In yesterday’s article, I said that the scientific and archaeological communities generally regard “Ancient Aliens” as inaccurate.
“Inaccurate.” That was an understatement.
Archaeologist Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews has this to say about “Ancient Aliens”:
“I find it incredible and frightening that a worldwide distributed television channel that bills itself as ‘The History Channel’ can broadcast such rubbish as Ancient Aliens. If it were an entertainment programme, I’d have fewer worries (although it would still make me cross); it is the implied authority of the channel (‘The History Channel’, not just any old ‘History Channel’) that makes the broadcast of this series so potentially damaging […] A channel that is making claims for its authoritative status, which offers educational resources, has a responsibility not to mislead its viewers (no doubt its executives think of them as ‘customers’). That responsibility is one that all makers and broadcasters of supposedly factual television have, but one that few of them take seriously: the responsibility to check facts.”
Foerster has not said explicitly that he believes the skulls are alien. In a YouTube interview, he said “My intent simply is to find the truth as to who these people were.”
That’s a noble goal. But if you really want to find out who the people of the Paracas culture were, speak to some archaeologists. Make your research transparent and available to the public. Have your data reviewed for journals with stringent requirements and high standards. Don’t use an historical oddity as a cheap hook for your tour company, or to sell books. If your goal is to help enrich humanity’s knowledge of our ancient past, then share your information with us instead of releasing only selected snippets of admittedly preliminary results. Otherwise, we have no reason to believe you.

An unidentified flying object, often abbreviated UFO or U.F.O., is an unusual apparent anomaly in the sky that is not readily identifiable to the observer as any known object. Originally referred to popularly as “flying saucers” during the late 40’s, the term UFO became more widespread during the 50s at first in professional literature, but later in popular language. UFOs garnered considerable interest during the Cold War, an era associated with a heightened concern for national security.
Various studies, both governmental and civilian, have concluded that the phenomenon does not represent a threat to national security nor does it contain anything worthy of scientific pursuit, although there is disagreement. Culturally, the phenomenon has often been associated with extraterrestrial life or government-related conspiracy theories, and thus has become a popular theme in fiction.

The Ubaid culture succeeded the Halaf at the end of the 6th millenium BCE in southern Iraq, then spread throughout Mesopotamia. Ubaid culture is known for painted pottery; large houses of tripartite plan for extended families; and lizard-headed figurines of both male and female gender. Figurines such as the above examples are typical.The figure on the left holds a baby on her hip and suckles it. The figure on the righth as incised stretch marks on her abdomen. It has been suggested that the brown-painted dots and lines represent tatoos, and the clay pelletsscarring. It is unknown if the shape of the skulls represents actual head-binding.Similar Lizard-headed figurines have been found at Eridu.

Kimberley, Australia
3,000 BC
These are images from Kimberley, Australia (approximately 5,000 years ago). They are Australian Aborigine cave paintings. Aboriginal myths incorporate the idea of “sky-beings”, with the Wandjina being among the most interesting to consider. The Wandjina have been preserved in a fascinating oral tradition and in a large collection of rock paintings scattered throughout the Kimberley region of northern Australia. The paintings have received all manner of interpretations from stylized representations of a pervasive myth system to naive “ancient astronaut” theories. It is however fascinating to see that the indigenous tribes viewed the Wandjina as “the spirit in the cloud.” Indeed, the unique painting style shows a logical sequence from human figures to stylised representations of clouds. This duality of anthropomorphic form and “clouds” is widespread in primitive cultures and finds an interesting parallel in the biblical accounts in “Exodus.”

These petroglyphs were created thousands of years ago by ancient Indians in the American Southwest. According to Indian folklore, two objects collided high in the sky and one crash-landed in the region of Death Valley. Some men arrived (presumably in another ship) and spent some time repairing the damaged Craft and were observed by the local Indians. The two images below may possibly depict the ship (left) used by the men who came to repair the damaged craft. In comparing the two images, the one on the right seems to depict structural damage around the edges and the bottom. Could it be the one that allegedly crashed?
Equador
?
These photos on the left depict figures found in Equador. Notice they appear to be wearing space suits. You can see a comparison photo with an Apollo astronaut.
Egypt
2,600 BC
In Egypt there exists a star clock for the Precession of the Equinoxes and an electric light bulb that dates to 2600 BC. An electric battery was discovered in a rock carbon dated approximately 500,000 years ago.
Jotuo
?
This is an artistic reproduction of a relief found in a labyrinth on the island Jotuo in the Toengt’ing lake. An expedition took place in 1957 (two years before an earthquake in that region). The expedition was led by professor Tsj’i Pen-Lai. They found various reliefs showing “humans” in strange clothes which looked like astronaut suits (hose like objects attached to the clothes). They also found a painting which apparently resembled the solar system. The third and fourth circle (planet) were connected with a line. Also there were ten planets (excluding the sun as planet).
China
1400 A.D.
This is an old Chinese illustration from a fictional book entitled “Illustrated Survey of Weird Countries” (c.1400 A.D.) and had the following original caption: “Ji Gung Land: The people could make flying cars that travelled far with a suitable wind. In Tarng’s day (c.1700 B.C.), Ji Gung people flying a car on a westerley reached Yew Jo. Tarng dismantled their car so it could not be demonstrated to the people … Later an east wind came on which he had them fly the car back to their own country [5,000 km] west of our gateway.”

The image on the left comes from the 10th Century Tibetan translation of the Sanskrit text “Prajnaparamita Sutra”, held at a Japanese museum. In the enlargement you can see two objects that look like hats, but why are they floating in mid air? also one of them appears to have port holes on it. Indian Vedic texts are full of descriptions of Vimanas. The Ramayana describes Vimanas as a double decked, circular or cylindrical aircraft with portholes and a dome. It flew with “the speed of the wind” and gave forth a “melodious sound”.
Greece

The illustration on the left is entitled “The Birth of Christ” from a 12th century Greek manuscript “The Book of the Evangelists”. If you look to the right of the picture there two figures looking up at a semi-circular object with figures inside. The object appears to be shining a beam of light down onto the birth. One of the pair of observers is shielding his eyes, possibly the artist was trying to convey the brightness of the object.

These images of two crusaders date from a 12th century manuscript ” Annales Laurissenses” (volumes/books about historical and religion events)and refer to a UFO sighting in the year 776, during the siege on Sigiburg castle, France. The Saxons besieged and surrounded the French people. They both were fighting when suddenly a group of discs (flaming shields) appeared hovering over the top of the church. It appeared to the Saxons that the French were protected by these objects and the Saxons fled.

Belgium
?
This is a painting on a wood drawer from furniture kept at the Earls D’Oltremond, Belgium. Moses is receiving the tablets and several objects in the sky are seen near by. Date and artist unknown. This supports the claims of many that many biblical events, can be further explained when ufos and aliens are taken into consideration, higher forms of technology could explain some of the events such as writing on stone with fire, parting the red sea, etc… higher forms of technology might explain how some of these feats were performed.
1490
This image is entitled “The Assumption of the Virgin” by ANON. Painted c.1490. Once again notice the discoidal clouds.
Greece
15th century
This is a sketch of an untitled 15th century Italian fresco from Mount Athos, Greece . It depicts the Apostle John dictating the Biblical book of Revelation to a young disciple. In the upper lefthand corner is a segment of a glowing oval object from which a beam of light is aimed at the head of John. In the upper right hand corner is a typical disk-shaped object which is emitting a converging light beam. Maybe someone has an original of this fresco?
Kiev
15th century
This is a 15th century fresco from Kiev. Seems to show Jesus in a rocket type device.
Bruges
1538
This is a tapestry called Summer’s triumph and was created in Bruges in 1538. It now resides at the Bayerisches National Museum. You can clearly see several disc shaped objects in the top of the tapestry. Someone has speculated that they are islands, if so, then these islands are floating in the sky!
1557
The picture on the left is from a book entitled Prodigiorum Ac Ostentorum Chronicon by Conrad Lycosthenes (1518-1561). Basel: Henricpteri, 1557. It depicts a UFO sighting in Arabia in 1479. The book is held at the Australian Museum Research Library.
Nuremburg
15th century
This image is of an actual sighting that occurred in Nuremburg on the 14th April 1561. It appeared in a local broadsheet and was a woodcut by Hans Glasser. The globes, crosses and tubes began to fight one another, and this went on for an hour. Then they all fell to earth, as if on fire, and faded slowly away producing a lot of steam. Afterwards a black spear-like object was seen, and the whole event was taken to be a divine warning. Held at the Wickiana Collection, Zurich Central Library.
Switzerland
1566
This broadsheet picture by Samuel Coccius illustrates a UFO sighting over Basel, Switzerland in 1566. ‘Large black Globes’ appeared in the skies. It is held at the Wickiana Collection, Zurich Central Library.
San Pietro
1600
The painting on the right is by Bonaventura Salimbeni entitled “Glorification of the Eucharist”, painted in 1600. Notice the Sputnik satellite device. It hangs in the church of San Lorenzo in San Pietro. It is considered by some to be a stylised representation of the Earth but I have included it here as it still looks interesting.
Holland
1660
1660. The illustration depicts a sighting by two Dutch ships in the North Sea of an object moving slowly in the sky. It appeared to be made by two disks of different size. The source for this account is one of the books entitled :”Theatrum Orbis Terrarum” by Admiral Blaeu. These books were compilations of articles by different authors and consisted of detailed accounts of long engagements at sea, cartography information etc.
France
16th century
This is a French jeton minted in 1680, a coin-like educational tool that was commonly used to help people count money, or sometimes used as a money substitute for playing games. It is about the size of a U.S. quarter-dollar and similar to thousands of other jetons with different religious and educational designs that were produced and used in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. It appears to commemorate a UFO sighting of a wheel like object. Some researchers feel it represents the Biblical Ezekiel’s wheel. The Latin inscription ‘OPPORTUNUS ADEST’ translates as ‘It is here at an opportune time”.
Germany
1697
More wheels! This picture shows a UFO sighting over Hamburg, Germany 4 November 1697. The objects were described as “two glowing wheels”.
Mtskheta, Georgia

England
1783
The illustration on the left depicts a sighting that occurred at 9.45pm on the evening of 18th August 1783 when four witnesses on the terrace of Windsor Castle observed a luminous object in the skies of the Home Counties of England. The sighting was recorded the following year in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. According to this report, witnesses observed an oblong cloud moving more or less parallel to the horizon. Under this cloud could be seen a luminous object which soon became spherical, brilliantly lit, which came to a halt; This strange sphere seemed at first to be pale blue in colour but then its luminosity increased and soon it set off again towards the east. Then the object changed direction and moved parallel to the horizon before disappearing to the south-east ; the light it gave out was prodigious; it lit us everything on the ground.; The image was captured in this by Thomas Sandby (a founder of the Royal Academy) and his brother Paul, both of whom witnessed the event.
Japan
1803
This is an illustration from a book “Ume No Chiri (Dust of Apricot)” published in 1803. A foreign ship and crew witnessed at Haratonohama (Haratono Seashore) in Hitachi no Kuni (Ibaragi Prefecture), Japan this strange object. According to the explanation in the drawing, the outershell was made of iron and glass, and strange letters shown in this drawing were seen inside the ship.
Australia
1837
These are illustrations from a book by Lt. Grey. “Journals of Two Expeditions of Discovery in North-West and Western Australia 1837, 1838, & 1839″, www.hesperianpress.com. He led an expedition in the 19th century to some caves near the Glenelg River region of Kimberley, Northern Australia. They are considered to be pre-aboriginal.
Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs as they are commonly known, have been witnessed by millions of people all over the world and have been recorded in history books, myths, legends and traditions for thousands of years. However, many accounts that are recorded in ancient texts are dismissed as mere myths and legends, while UFO sightings that have taken place in the last few centuries have been classified as misinterpretations of natural phenomena, illusions, or conspiracy theories.
History has shown us time and again that a plethora of so-called ‘myths’ have their basis in reality. It is possible, and indeed likely, that stories and legends were a way for people to explain real—and perhaps perplexing—events using the knowledge and beliefs of their time. In support of this theory, a number of events described in mythology, which were once considered mere fairy tales, have now been proven through archaeology to have existed. A famous example is the city Troy, which is central to Homer’s ‘The Iliad’. Long considered to be a city of myth, Heinrich Schliemann’s discovery of the actual site in 1868 elevated it to a place in history. Nevertheless, the remainder of The Iliad is still viewed as a myth and fantasy without any serious attempts being made to investigate whether or not there may be more truth behind the tale. The same goes for many accounts of ‘flying machines’, which we find reference to in countless mythologies from numerous different cultures around the world.
Many cultures contain pictorial and written records of ‘flying machines’, yet these are usually dismissed as myth and legend.
It is common to see people selectively decide what is real and what is not and all of this on the unsubstantiated assumption that ancient people were primitive and had little to no knowledge compared to us today. On the contrary, many ancient civilizations, like the Sumerians, Indus Valley, and Egyptians existed with complex social structures, legal systems, art, astronomy, mathematics, and technology, some of which is still not fully understood today. The Antikythera Mechanism, for example, is a 2,200-year-old mechanical device that is still not completely understood despite decades of research by top scientists around the world.
Ancient Astronaut Theory
The topic of flying objects and supernatural beings from out of our world is one in which we find multiple references in mythologies. All of these myths and legends, along with archaeological evidence such as rock art depictions, have created a wave of theories that gave birth to the ‘Ancient Astronaut’ perspective, which links all of these ancient references and depictions to UFOs, and posits that extra-terrestrials visited Earth and made contact with humans in antiquity and prehistory, influencing the development of human cultures, technologies, and religions.
Unfortunately, there are numerous charlatans who have tried to ‘cash in’ on this movement for profit or publicity, or who have diminished it with caricatures of little green men, resulting in the ancient astronaut perspective being widely criticized and attacked for its lack of credibility. Consequently, what is in fact a plausible and possible explanation for what we see in ancient art and texts, is now rarely examined by scholars, who fear being ridiculed or having their professional career seriously undermined.

UFO sightings in recent history
But let’s leave the ancient past for a while and examine just the last 80 years of human history. Millions of people all over the globe have witnessed unidentified flying objects. Many have been recorded in detailed reports witnessed by police, pilots, astronauts, government officials, pilots, military personnel and, of course, ordinary citizens. Some of the more well-known cases were witnessed by thousands of people at one time. Historical records make it evident that UFO appearances magnified during and after World War II, including the example of the famous ‘Foo Fighters’.
While most sightings can be explained either by celestial phenomena, airplanes, planets, weather phenomena, military exercises, or in some cases drug use or mental instability, there still exists a small percentage that cannot be accounted for by any of these explanations. This is what makes the phenomena important and not to be ignored, particularly considering that sightings are frequently reported around military bases and airfields and are therefore, at the very least, a matter of both national security and air safety.
It is an undeniable fact that there are cases of unidentified objects in our skies. It has been acknowledged by the major governments from all over the world simply through the very fact that official research has been conducted on the matter in the US, UK, Russia, Europe, China, South America, and many others. All of this research, in every single case, concluded that there is a percentage of phenomena that cannot be explained.
In the past decade, many countries have declassified their UFO research files, releasing thousands of documents through the Freedom of Information Act and making numerous UFO cases available in the public domain. One recently released document from the UFO files in Britain, revealed how Churchill, concerned about the UFO issue, ordered a shutdown of information for at least 50 years to prevent mass panic and the potential to undermine religious beliefs. The document in question was also published on the BBC news site in 2010.
By doing careful research on the topic, passing over obvious scam and fake stories, it is clear to see that unidentified flying objects do exist. So the question is not whether they exist or not, but rather, what are they? Are they of terrestrial or extra-terrestrial origin? And what is their purpose?
UFOs and the limits of science
Many prominent scientists have already stated that other civilizations must exist in the Universe, and that it would be statistically impossible for this not to be the case. However, with our knowledge of science and technology today, we cannot yet support the means for interstellar travel, and since we have not discovered intelligent life in our solar system, the assumption is made that there must be no way that extra-terrestrials could have travelled to Earth. However, this argument is of course flawed because it is based within the framework of our own understanding of the universe, and does not take into account the capabilities of civilizations that may be millions of years ahead of our own. It also hinges on the following assumptions:
We know everything about physics and reality and therefore there is no way that such distant travel can be achieved. We are using our means to try to contact other civilizations (e.g. SETI’s attempts to pick up radio or communication signals) and since we don’t perceive any signals of OUR type, nothing must exist. We are looking for organic forms of life exactly like us and for planets with the exact same conditions as ours.
It is clear that these arguments show the arrogance of mankind, a mankind that may just be an infant in the Universe. And this is not new. During the history of humanity, in every single period of time, we believed that we knew the truth, only to have it replaced later on by new ‘knowledge’.
There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement, Lord Kelvin, 1901, physicist
Quantum physics, still a relatively new and unexplored field in Science, has shown that reality could be completely different to what we believe it to be. Powerful telescopes have shown distant planets in solar systems that could possibly sustain life. Theories of wormholes and warp drives have shown that at a theoretical level we could achieve interstellar travel. Yes, we would require incredible amounts of energy to even think of trying to achieve something like this, so according to our standards today it is impossible to achieve, but in theory it can be achieved.
“It now seems quite clear that Earth is not the only inhabited planet. There is evidence that the bulk of the stars in the sky have planetary systems. Recent research concerning the origin of life on Earth suggests that the physical and chemical processes leading to the origin of life occur rapidly in the early history of the majority of planets within our Milky Way galaxy–perhaps as many as a million–are inhabited by technical civilizations in advance of our own. Interstellar space flight is far beyond our present technical capabilities, but there seems to be no fundamental physical objections to preclude, from our own vantage point, the possibility of its development by other civilizations.” Carl Sagan, Ph.D. (Late Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences, Cornell University)
Reluctance to engage with the UFO subject
The reason that the scientific community is not dealing seriously with UFOs is because the topic has been extensively ridiculed both by the media and in academic circles, with false information spread everywhere. For similar reasons, military personnel, astronauts, pilots, and other categories of professionals do not want to talk because, either they have been forced to sign confidentiality agreements, or because of fear that their careers would be destroyed. This is why we have seen many examples of ‘death bed confessions’.
One such case was with astronaut Gordon Cooper, who told the world about his experience encountering a UFO during his flight in the Mercury capsule in 1963. Before he died he stated: “for many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us”.
While great efforts have been made to ridicule and disparage anyone who lends support to the existence of UFOs, the fact remains that there are numerous high-profile cases that are supported by solid evidence, and which should not be dismissed.
Recorded UFO sightings with extensive witness support
Below I present a very limited list constituting strong evidence for the existence of unidentified flying objects in the last 60 years.
It all happened in the early hours of February 25 in 1942. An aircraft flew over LA County that sparked an air raid alert (it was in the midst of WWII). Searchlights and guns were locked onto the aircraft for about an hour. The picture below appeared in the LA Times in a story about the Battle of LA It clearly shows a night time defensive response to an air raid. The aircraft was not hostile and obviously was not damaged by the attack. The Government stated that the craft they were shooting at was unidentified.

This incident involved a group of American servicemen stationed at a military base in Suffolk that contained a storage centre with nuclear weapons. There had been three consecutive night of sighting objects in the sky over the base, in some cases shining a light down upon the nuclear weapons storage. On the third night, approximately two dozen servicemen were sent into the forest to investigate one set of mysterious lights. The men reported seeing a spacecraft on the ground in close proximity to them and three extra-terrestrial beings. One serviceman claimed to have touched the craft. The whole incident was filmed and photographed by one of the servicemen, but all photos and videos were removed by the US military. When the British Government released the UFO files, the Rendlesham incident papers were missing – as reported on BBC.
In November, 1986, a Japanese crew of a jumbo freighter aircraft witnessed three enormous unidentified objects while flying over Alaska, USA. This sighting gained international attention when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it was going to officially investigate this sighting because the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Anchorage, Alaska, had reported that the UFO had been detected on radar. The UFOs in this case were tracked on both ground and airborne radar, witnessed by experienced airline pilots, and confirmed by a FAA Division Chief.

The Belgium UFO wave began in November 1989. The events of 29 November would be documented by no less than thirty different groups of witnesses, and three separate groups of police officers. All of the reports related to a large object flying at low altitude. The craft was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath. This giant craft did not make a sound as it slowly moved across the landscape of Belgium. The Belgium UFO wave peaked with events on the night of 30/31 March 1990. On that night, unknown objects were tracked on radar, chased by two Belgian Air Force F16s, photographed, and were sighted by an estimated 13,500 people on the ground – 2,600 of whom filed written statements describing in detail what they had seen. Following the incident, the Belgian air force released a report detailing the events of that night.
The Phoenix Lights (also identified as “Lights over Phoenix”) was a UFO sighting which occurred in Phoenix, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997. Lights of varying descriptions were seen by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, in a space of about 300 miles (480 km), from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson. Witnesses claim to have observed a huge square-shaped UFO, containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines. Fife Symington, the governor at the time, was one witness to this incident; he later called the object “otherworldly.”
On the night of August 30, a cluster of multi-colored lights was seen floating in the sky above Osaka. Several people reported to Twitter that they saw a group of lights forming a triangular shape and flashing green, red and white in the night sky above Izumi city in Osaka Prefecture. The sightings caused a commotion on Twitter after one user wrote: “Everyone in Osaka, go outside! There’s a UFO!” prompting others to grab their cameras and snap up photos of mysterious luminous object.
At approximately 16:15 CST on Tuesday November 7, 2006, federal authorities at Chicago O’Hare International Airport received a report that a group of twelve airport employees were witnessing a metallic, saucer-shaped craft hovering over Gate C-17.
The object was first spotted by a ramp employee who was pushing back United Airlines Flight 446, which was departing Chicago for Charlotte, North Carolina. The employee apprised Flight 446’s crew of the object above their aircraft. It is believed that both the pilot and co-pilot also witnessed the object.
Several independent witnesses outside of the airport also saw the object. According to the Chicago Tribune’s Jon Hilkevitch, “The disc was visible for approximately two minutes and was seen by close to a dozen United Airlines employees, ranging from pilots to supervisors, who heard chatter on the radio and raced out to view it.”
The incident took place on May 2007 at 14.00 local time in Lima Peru. A series of moving lights resembling an armada of flying objects appeared in the skies. The story was reported on the news and was seen by thousands of people.
An unidentified flying object that disrupted air traffic in Hangzhou for an hour on Wednesday, 10th of July 2010. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi. Eighteen flights were affected. A spokesman from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) confirmed to ABC News that the matter is under investigation. He declined to disclose further details. A day after the sighting, however, an anonymous source told China Daily that authorities already discovered the identity of the UFO after an investigation but could not publically disclose the information because “there was a military connection.”

Disclosure
Many would say that the above examples constitute irrefutable proof that extra-terrestrial UFOs exist. So why isn’t the public told about it? Imagine the implications that disclosure would have and what it would mean. Acknowledgment of extra-terrestrial civilizations having visited Earth would mean that many of the myths and legends of the past are in fact based on reality. It would suggests that humanity has been influenced for millennia by other-worldly beings, beings that in the past were considered gods. Disclosure would entirely topple the status quo and the balance of powers in society, and turn upside down what we know about the history of mankind.
The acknowledgement of the UFO phenomena is an event with the power to bring a global revolution in every sector of our lives today – technology and energy supply, communication and environmental concerns, society and religion. Is this what governments and corporations are afraid of – a shift in balance and their loss of their positions of power and control? Or is it that the powers that be are afraid of re-writing our human history?
“When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science, but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum leap.” Dr J. Allen Hynek, Scientific Advisor to the U.S. Air Force
The idea that humanity is not from Earth is as controversial as it is intriguing. Are we really aliens on our own planet? If this is true where is our place of origin in the galaxy? A scientific evaluation of the evidence against man’s evolution on planet Earth has been put forward by a researcher and author. According to Dr Ellis Silver, leading environmentalist and ecologist there are a number of reasons why humans do not come from Earth.
A scientific evaluation of the evidence for and (mostly) against man’s evolution on Planet Earth, by a leading environmentalist and ecologist. Including:
An evaluation of the thirteen leading hypotheses
Seventeen factors which suggest we are not from Earth
How did we get here?
When did we get here?
What is our home planet like?

If the aliens are out there why can’t we detect them?
Are we the aliens?
In this fascinating book Dr Ellis Silver provides answers to all of these questions, based on current evidence and thinking in the scientific community and elsewhere. Read more…
Dr. Silver says our physiology suggests we evolved on a planet with lower gravity.
“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more, “Dr. Silver said in an interview with Yahoo news.
“The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought,” Silver said in an interview with Yahoo news.
“Lizards can sunbathe for as long as they like – and many of them do.
We can just about get away with it for a week or two. But day after day in the sun? Forget it.
You might as well just lie down on the freeway and wait for a bus to hit you.”
We are dazzled by the sun, which is also odd, says Silver – most animals are not.
Dr. Silver claims that some chronic illnesses that plague the human race – such as bad backs – could be a sign we evolved on a world with lower gravity.
Silver points to other unique human traits – such as the fact that babies’ heads are so large that women have trouble giving birth – in earlier eras, this was often fatal for mother, child or both.
“No other truly native species on this planet has this problem,” he says. Dr. Silver also points out to the “extra” 223 genes in human beings, which are not found in any other species, and to the lack of a fossil “missing link”.
Dr. Silver also claims that the human race has defects that mark us out as being possibly “not of this world”.
“We are all chronically ill,” says Dr. Silver. “Indeed, if you can find a single person who is 100% fit and healthy and not suffering from some (perhaps hidden or unstated) condition or disorder (there’s an extensive list in the book) I would be extremely surprised – I have not been able to find anyone.”
Did we evolve on an alien world?
“I believe that many of our problems stem from the simple fact that our internal body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day (this has been proven by sleep researchers), but the Earth’s day is only 24 hours. This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind’s history on Earth.”
Dr. Silver does not suggest one answer – but a possibility that early pre-humans such as homo erectus were crossbred with another species. He also suggests several possible origins, including Alpha Centauri.
“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring (raw) foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more. Plus there’s a prevailing feeling among many people that they don’t belong here or that something “just isn’t right”.
“This suggests (to me at least) that mankind may have evolved on a different planet, and we may have been brought here as a highly developed species. One reason for this, discussed in the book, is that the Earth might be a prison planet – since we seem to be a naturally violent species – and we’re here until we learn to behave ourselves.”
“Humans are not from Earth was published mainly to gauge reaction from readers and to provoke thought, particularly among those who might not have considered such a possibility before.” Dr Ellis says that while his idea is an extreme evolution of that idea, it is intended to be thought-provoking and in his opinion he have had a largely positive response to it.
Now, Dr. Silver hopes that readers will contact him with more evidence for a more extensive follow-up work.
I want to say that I have been really beating down this anti-science pejorative that was first proposed by National Geographic. It tends to paint a very desperate and guilty picture for those scientists who are controlled to keep a lid on unexplainable things, and force a populace into believing their own brand of junk science for lack of a better explanation for all things that seem a bit out of place or paranormal.
Science is imperfect because people are imperfect — it has always been, and so it will always be. Man’s greatest paradox is the attempt by too many to interchange Magic or for the religious “God” and science replacing one with the other — when, in reality, one should lead to the other if the path is kept clear of prejudices.
With an honest pursuit of ultimate knowledge, humanity would not be facing such a cataclysm of moral and ethical problems involving science. But honesty and morality have been cast aside to embrace a substitute for “knowledge.”
We are waking up to the fact that the paranormal, and beliefs in paranormal events is the new normal.
As I have reported before when quoting Robert Anton Wilson, we have created this safety net we call reality and every once in a while we are reminded that a very real existential world exists and that the spooky actions we see are all part of some quantum theory that is not easily explained.
There have been many occasions where we have been told that the universe we live in is a construct, a safe haven that we have developed to hide away from the various demons and bogey man that plague our nightmares.
I am no scientist or theologian, I have dabbled in the occult and studied all of the strangeness and peculiarities of this world and with my Fortean goggles I see the world as a playground of fascinating coincidences.
I want to make this fact clear, a fact that cannot be escaped even if you are an atheist or agnostic or otherwise. There is a shared meme held by billions of people on this planet and that is the world is destined to end in some chaos.
Now you can hold on to beliefs that say that it will be millions of years away and you can die a normal and boring death, or you can think that it will happen in 10 years, or 5 years. You can think it will end next year and there are small groups who await a rapture in the middle of May, it doesn’t matter. What matters is the sympathetic response to this preoccupation from the universe.
That is if you believe in quantum entanglements which somehow spin coincidences and synchronicities that make you wonder if you are only part of the dimensional equation.
I hear all the time that the earth is headed for destruction and that someone or some alien god will come down ad save it. Then we will be at peace. This is programming and it has been part of our collective unconscious for thousands of years because our ancestors have written in bibles, Vedic histories, Muslim writings and elsewhere about shared cataclysms and major changes that we seem to not want to accept as reality, even though it is beginning to show itself in a blatant fashion in our lifetime. How are you able to speak on a how dealing with the occult and the paranormal without trying to address the fact that 4.5 billion believe in an end times scenario that is blue printed and accepted by Abrahamic religions that claim that a Christ, externalized Messiah or Imam, will return to fight a huge satanic dragon.
Similar stories are found in Norse mythology about Thor returning to fight a large dragon and save the world. Mayan traditions say that we are living in a final cycle of creation where animals, birds and fish will die because there will be magnetic shifts, in the form of vortices that appear from out of nowhere and decimate that which is living. They are magnetic wormholes and are describes as powerful electromagnetic pulses that would appear in the final cycles of the Earth’s creation.
These vortices that appear in the quantum soup are actually supposed to lift the veil and show us what is truly behind the illusion of what we see.
Physicist Nick Herbert once declared that the world behind our back, where we are not looking and cannot observe is always an active radically ambiguous and ceaselessly flowing cosmic soup. In the soup are invisible wormholes, magnetic vortices, Rosen bridges and columns that reveal that our whole existence and surroundings have been placed on a huge grid. When the grid is tampered with magnetically we begin to see patterns in the sky. Geometric patterns that can confuse us and actually allow for anomalies to appear in the stars, the sun and the moon.
One billion followers of Hinduism believe in cosmic cycles that spin like a vortex. They believe in the avatar Yuga coming back in a cyclical pattern and the epochs keep repeating infinitely. We spin around revolution by revolution experiencing synchronicity that progressively gets more apparent and it starts to appear before or yes as déjà vu or meaningful coincidence giving us messages to prepare for the culmination of all times and epochs in one central point in time.
Out of all of the belief systems that I have read about and have studied there seems to be a constant; it is what science has attempted to call quantum relationships. It is simply the law of attraction and manifestation through thought or power.
If you visualize events or outcomes that you believe will happen they will most likely happen in ways you couldn’t imagine!
In the office, Tracy Twyman, Bryan Trotter and Wes Skotko have been looking at some fascinating pictures that show what appear to be cities in the sky. Cities that hover above the fog and appear to be like an image from a video game. This has once again started the discussion in the office about the holographic universe.
Coincidentally I received an email from a listener named Kyle that said that on April 18th, 2015 at 9:27 PM he snapped a picture looking West over Lake Michigan towards Chicago, which is 60 miles across the lake. The picture captures the sky at sunset and in the middle of the picture is what appears to be a grid pattern or a pattern that appears to look like a UPC code symbol with bars.
Kyle is 61 years old and says he has never seen anything like his at Silver Beach.
Now that everything paranormal is becoming normal, there is a tendency by some people to deny the existence of the substance of the evolution of the “theory” and that while speculations are useful in trying to find fact, facts then rear their head and people in denial tend to hang on to the idea that they are still speculation.
They look at conspiracy theories and the beliefs surrounding them as comfortable as old sneakers; but there comes a time when the old sneakers need to be thrown out in favor of a new pair that can send you on your way to new journeys and new ideas that need to be presented.
I think it is time to admit that we are now in a moment where we need to not feel so comfortable about our theories or our speculations being taken at face value because there is now a mechanical effort to discredit and to create a highly threatening “thought police” that will try to undermine the spirit of imagination, speculation, and theory for the sake of a well thought out and repetitive agenda that comes complete with a pejorative attack against anyone who questions it.
I am not saying that we should stop with our theories; I am just thinking that perhaps we should focus our passions on what makes a difference in the thought process.
We now see how specious arguments being presented on YouTube, or on Facebook in order to get hits and “likes” and many people are unaware that disinformation lurks on the internet. This disinformation is well organized and is presented as fact, when any conspiracy theorist that is a real theorist understands that this is all theory and is satisfied with it being theory until the facts prove otherwise.
I am sensing that the person who questions is now under attack, and the thought police will find a way to destroy the person who questions rather than encourage a healthy questioning process and the entertaining of curiosity for the sole purpose of understanding.
Quantum physics gives us a new way to look at our world. If we see an object, it is because the object pops into view, if it leaves our view quickly we question if what we see was just an hallucination or if it is real and pops out of sight and out of mind.
Quantum reality gives us the ability to even question if what we saw was out of the ordinary, or plucked from another matrix to occupy this construct.
What is seen in our view is known as the field, some call it the grid. Now we are hearing of people who during twilight hours are able to see the grid in our skies as if we are living in a computer stronghold.
Some claim to have seen pixel clouds, or they have seen a tightly fine web covering the sky in squares like longitude in latitude.
In China and Africa there have been sightings of huge cities in the clouds. None of the cities are recognized, which rules out a hallucination.
Weather specialists call what is seen as a “Fata Morgana” or a superior mirage. However a Fata Morgana cannot explain why thousands of people have now seen what appears to be a computerized grid in the sky above the Earth.
These images contain exact angles or perfect polygonal properties which some claim may include the expansion of lay line images or properties that can be seen by the human eye.
Wide and open as the number of possibilities for the appearances of this so called grid remains, it is likely that, in the broader sense, the summation of the phenomenon we call anomalous sky activity comprised of a combination of all these things.
Much the same, there may be as-yet-unfathomable explanations that would form the basis for a number of strange things observed in our reality. One of these involves the manipulation of our surroundings by intelligence that seems to abide by physical laws vastly different from ours; but what is the possibly that such intelligence might nonetheless be related very closely to us… or even exist as some strange extension of humanity itself?
The idea is already quite popular in books and film that a sort of programmable structure could exist within our reality, or that some kind of virtual reality might be imposed on humanity, manipulated by other intelligences, culminating in what we perceive as the world around us.
The series of Matrix films starring Keanu Reeves explore this possibility, as have, to a certain extent, other sci-fi films and series including Vanilla Sky, The Terminator Trilogy, Inception, The Thirteenth Floor and a number of others, in that what we view and perceive as the “real world” could be the result of a dreamlike state, or even the result of non-temporal intrusion, time travel from the future or perhaps a huge time paradox performed in a supercollider that exists in Geneva.
It can all be uncanny coincidence. It does not dismiss that it is happening and that people are now seeing the hidden grid that has somehow show itself in various glimpses.
Einstein had a word for all of this, he called it spooky actions at a distance. Science is calling it quantum entanglement. This term was used most often with early theories of gravity and electromagnetism to describe how an object could “know” the mass or charge of another distant object. Is it a sympathetic and intuitive response to what might happen or has it happened in another dimension?
Are these unexplained city sightings and grid sightings meant for a future glance and yet they are appearing in the present?
This is the deep and philosophical question and seems to be more and more apparent on the radar of most meaningful events in our lives.
So using entanglement theory we can stretch the idea into considering that human unconscious, pre-consciousness and consciousness are quantum bits can know the same actions in a dimensional or dream state.
These thoughts that are thrust in the ether become strong and meaningful precognitions that unwittingly show up in what we call self fulfilling prophecy or self made tulpas? So we can suppose that consciousness can read the unconscious and vice-versa. Group consciousness can receive a message from the collective unconsciousness and this is how we see these meaningful sightings and coincidences that have connection to major events. This is why some people are able to drum up prophecy and have it come true. Perhaps they are more in tune with the collective unconscious or the zeitgeist. Perhaps it is accidental which makes it even more meaningful and peculiar. The collective consciousness and unconsciousness become quantum entangled and we begin to see it as magical or write it off as just an hallucination or coincidence.
The Escambia County, FL, witness said that the UFO was so large that when she stopped her car to look, it was all she could see out of her windshield and windows. Pictured: Escambia County, FL. (Credit: Google)

A Florida witness in Escambia County reported a “massive, totally quiet triangle-shaped object” that flew over her neighborhood at the tree top level, according to testimony in Case 64835 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside in a vehicle at 7 p.m. on November 13, 2014, when the incident occurred.
“It was so large that when I stopped my car to look, it was all I could see out of my windshield and windows,” the witness stated. “It didn’t make any sound at all, and the trees didn’t sway or make any noise, like they would if something like a helicopter or other craft flew so close to them.”
The witness watched while the object flew overhead.
“It was right over my head, only the distance from the ground to right over the trees.”
The object moved overhead about 7 p.m. on November 13, 2014, at the tree top level. Pictured: Escambia County, FL. (Credit: Google)
The witness watched as the object slowly moved away.
“It moved really slowly over the neighborhood going north west/west and I watched it until it disappeared.”
While the object itself was silent, the witness recalls other normal sounds being silenced as well.
“Again, it made absolutely no noise. When it flew over, it blocked out other sounds…either that, or I was so focused on the craft that I didn’t hear nearby traffic.”
Escambia County is the westernmost county in the U.S. state of Florida, population 297,619.
The witness imagined anything man-made would make a noise flying near the tops of trees, but the object was completely silent. Pictured: Escambia County, FL. (Credit: Google)
Florida is currently a UFO Alert Level 5 – with 1.14 sightings per million population based on MUFON February 2015 statistics. Florida received a total of 22 UFO reports in March.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.
Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
HIGH UFO STRANGENESS IN NORTHUMBERLAND PENNSYLVANIA FEBURARY 22, 2011 ………. NORTHUMBERLAND PENNSYLVANIA
Let me begin by saying that I am very reluctant to file this report. I had an experience a year and a half ago which I did not disclose until 6 days ago when I filed my first report with MUFON. I spoke to an investigator on Monday, and then I had this terrifying experience on Tuesday. I have not seen anything since my first sighting in 2009. Now, one day after talking to your investigator, I have been visited up close and personal. I am not saying that one led to the other, but it is a very eerie coincidence. I was out on my deck Tuesday night and I noticed a few “flashing stars,” not unlike what I had seen in my first report. It was 9 o’clock. These “stars” were then accompanied by these randomly flashing orbs that were descending to rooftop level. Then I saw a bright red flashing object low to the ground. It was not a plane, and it disappeared after a minute or two. After that, the real chaos began. Around 9:30, I noticed a huge streak of blue/white light flash across the sky, and after that, they were everywhere. Little flashes of what looked like laser beams, but they were coming from all directions and not from one source in the sky. There was a bright hovering orb directly in front of my house, and these little flashes of light were surrounding me. One came within 5 feet of me. They were constant. I was quite scared. I ran inside and called my brother to let him know what was happening, when I heard a helicopter fly over my house so low that I was almost shouting to make myself heard on the phone. I was on the phone for about 10 minutes, and in that time I counted 3 more helicopters and 2 planes fly directly over my house. They must have been very low for me to hear them from inside my home while on the telephone. After I hung up, I went back out on to the deck. At this time, there were planes and helicopters everywhere, but the bright orb in the sky was still above me (about a block or two away and the height of the planes flying at it) but hovering, not flying. The flashes of light were still all around. Some were in the distance, some were high in the sky, some were on the street, and some were in the alley directly in front of me. I began to feel strange. Not ill, but my stomach began to feel very odd. It was uncomfortable.. almost an empty feeling as if I hadn’t eaten in days. At this time I was getting really worried, and the helicopters kept coming. The flashing beam phenomenon was practically happening on my deck, so I quickly came back inside out of fear. I called around and found that some of my neighbors were also aware of the heavy air traffic.
One had actually heard all the commotion while in the shower and had gotten dressed and gone outside to see if there was an air raid or something. None had witnessed the lasers or orbs, but these were so low and directly in front of my house… so unless you were in my backyard, they would have been obstructed by other houses and trees. The 10-20 planes in the sky at any given time were visible to everyone though. I am sure that others had to have seen what I witnessed last night. I watched all of this go on for about an hour total. I was home alone, so I was very disturbed, especially since the lights were coming so close to me. I came back inside and continued to hear planes and helicopters go by one after another until about 11:30. Around that time, I went back outside and saw that the bright orb was moving away from my house toward the farms and fields beyond. I watched it move slowly away, still flashing beams of light in the distance. The planes were still flying by. I went back out at 12:30 and the orb was gone. In it’s place there were two sets of three lights in the shape of triangles, with planes flying at them.
By this time, my mind was exhausted, and I just couldn’t comprehend anything else, so I came inside and tried to go to bed. Wednesday morning I found out that my father had also seen strange orbs in the woods by the creek on his property earlier that night, around 8 o’clock. He said they looked like lanterns, but were sporadic and would disappear after a few seconds. I am not sure that they are related, but he lives about 25 minutes from me, and it is very odd that we both saw similar phenomenon on the same night after almost 2 years of not seeing anything else substantial. I am at a loss for words when it comes to describing just how unreal and amazing last night’s events were. There must be someone else out there that witnessed that same thing. It left Northumberland PA and headed toward Danville PA around 11:30-12. Anyone driving Route 11 at that time must have noticed an unusual number of low flying planes if not the orb and flashes themselves.
Russia’s space agency recently released a draft of their Federal Space Program for 2016 to 2025, and it includes their plans to join the European Space Agency (ESA) on the ExoMars Program whose mission is to hunt for signs of extraterrestrial life on Mars.
Russian newspaper RIA Novosti summarized the goals of the Russian Federal Space Agency, aka Roscomos, in a recent article on a draft of the new Russian Federal Space Program, which RIA Novosti was allowed to review. The headline for their story reads, “Search for extraterrestrial life is included in the draft of the new space program of the Russian Federation.”
The alien hunting program Roscomos is participating in is one that was created by the ESA and for a period of time was going to be executed in participation with NASA. It was part of the ESA/NASA Mars Exploration Joint Initiative. However, the ExoMars program was defunded on the U.S. side in 2013 purportedly due to cost overruns of the James Webb Space Telescope.

After NASA pulled out, Roscosmos jumped in, and as they put it, “thereby taking the place left by NASA.”
It is an ambitious project that includes four spacecraft. There will be an orbiter, two landers and a rover. The first part of the mission will include the orbiter and a lander, and is currently scheduled to be launched by a Roscomos Proton rocket in January, 2016.
The orbiter is called the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), and it serves many purposes. It will be used to survey Mars’ surface for landing sites, serve a sa communications relay for the landers and rover, map the distribution of near-surface water, and analyze the climate, including searching for and analyzing methane gas.

The detection of methane is important because one source of methane is microbes. Previously, NASA reported that their Curiosity rover did not detect methane at a high enough level to support the idea that it stems from a biological source. However, scientists did point out that if life existed in the past, most of this methane could have been depleted.
It is hoped that the TGO will be able to further analyze the methane that has been detected on Mars to discover its origins.
The lander that will accompany the TGO in January is called the Schiaparelli Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM) Lander, and, like its name indicates, one of its main goals it to test the ability of a lander to safely descend and land on the Martian surface.
Once there, it will also check the atmosphere and Martian weather. It includes a camera, so there will hopefully be some dramatic footage of its landing if it survives the trip. The lander is expected to arrive in October 2016.
The second ExoMars launch is planned to for May 2018. This package, which includes a lander and a rover, is expected to touch down on Mars in January 2019. The rover will have a drill which will pull Martian samples into an onboard lab for analysis. It will have the ability to look for biomolecules and biosignatures from life that exists, or existed, on Mars in the present or past.

This is yet another project in the hunt for evidence of extraterrestrial life, which is the crux of the majority of the research on Mars, according to Seth Shostak, senior astronomer for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute.
He says the Mars missions are not just about looking at rocks. “That’s the mythology,” says Shostak. “Mars is about life, not geology, as interesting as that is.”
NASA’s chief scientist Ellen Stofan recently said, “I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within twenty to thirty years.”
Perhaps Mars is the place we will find it. Although, what a rub it would be if the ESA and Roscomos find it without the participation of NASA. Then again, there are scientists who feel we have evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars right here on Earth. The race is on.

A woman recently posted a video showing a UFO hovering near Chile’s erupting Calbuco volcano.
The volcano erupted on Wednesday, April 22 for the first time in more than forty two years. Four thousand residents were forced to evacuate the area as ash and smoke filled the sky.
Ana Luisa Cid, a UFO researcher in Mexico City, put together a compilation of volcano eruption videos that show the aerial object seemingly hovering near the Calbuco volcano. And this UFO appears to have two very bright white lights.

Ana Luisa Cid points out that some have suggested the UFO is simply a drone or helicopter gathering aerial footage of the volcano. But she also comments, “What is striking, in my opinion, is that the object remained static, then vanished. Optical illusion?”
At least one helicopter and one plane were in the sky during the volcano’s eruption.
TVN, Chile’s state-owned television network, posted an aerial video of the volcano eruption shot by a helicopter pilot.
And Chile news station T13 posted a video story on April 23 about the “pilot who was mistaken for a UFO.” The media outlet interviewed pilot Vicente Beasley who was reportedly flying a Cessna 206 during the volcano eruption. Beasley also captured video of the volcano’s plume.
UFOs have been seen near volcanos several times in recent years. A video recorded in 2012 even shows what some believe is a UFO flying into the Popocatépetl volcano in Mexico. Some UFO researchers believe UFOs are either attracted to volcanos, or that the pilots of extraterrestrial spacecraft have hidden bases inside volcanos.
But in the case of this most recent UFO near an erupting volcano, pilot Vincente Beasley’s testimony and supporting video footage make it pretty likely that his plane is the UFO seen in the video posted by Ana Luisa Cid and others.
In a recent interview, Dr. Steven Greer stated that, to his knowledge, there are dozens of benevolent Extraterrestrial species who are eager to make contact with us.
“These beings are very eager to find humans who are enlightened, who approach them peacefully, because what our covert, classified, military projects have been doing is try to track these objects and shoot them down.” – Dr. Steve Greer
In Dr. Greer’s opinion, the UFO phenomenon intensified after the development of nuclear weapons, when we became a threat to our own existence, the planet we inhabit and possibly to other intelligent species in the Universe as well.
“I think they [the aliens] have been here, around, for many thousands of years; I surely doubt it’s a recent phenomenon.
“I think that if you look at this and talk to people in the British intelligence and people in the United States Military, the real increase in these events happened around the time we started detonating nuclear weapons and at the same time we started going out in the space.
“You have to understand that any civilization that has reached a point of peaceful coexistence, who would see us evolving out of the time of World War II into this post WWII period, where we began to go into space, but at the same time began to develop hydrogen bombs and nuclear weapons.
“I think this would put a big red flag over this planet and my understanding is that they are quite concerned about what we are doing to this planet and also that we don’t turn loose on the Universe, where we can be a threat to other planets that are existing peacefully and do not even have the concept of warfare and weapon systems.”
Also, Dr. Greer does not believe in alien abductions and mutilations stating that, in his opinion, all of them are staged by the government as a scare tactic, so that we don’t oppose the idea of weaponizing the space.
“The big mythology in the new age world is that there are the good ones and the bad ones and, in reality, most of that is disinformation created by the intelligence community to scare people because, eventually, they would like to have us put all these weapons into space and spend trillions of dollars on Star Wars [technology]. And this is exactly what we’ve done.
“I have folks who worked on these [programs] in the 1960s, where we already had weapon systems that were based in space, that were targeting these extraterrestrial vehicles. This has been going on for 40 years.”
Dr. Greer also stated that, to his knowledge, none of the dozens of ET species that are visiting us are hostile.
In his own words, “some of them [the ETs] are quite worried of our hostility and have done things to try to contain us… like a quarantine.”
You can listen to the entire interview bellow and please enjoy the wonderful CGI footage of benevolent ETs operating in space and around alien worlds:
Numerous examples of making contact with UFOs, by using a powerful laser (night vision footage):
Unfortunately, night vision goggles are not available in all countries, not can they be ordered from countries who prohibit them.
On YouTube, you’ll see videos of people “calling” UFO’s with infrared laser pens (see image to the left). They’ll also use these pens to point out UFO’s to other people who may be UFO watching with them.
Many of the highest quality night vision goggles and monoculars cost several thousand dollars. Most of us can’t afford a “Generation 3″ or “Gen 4″ type of monocular/goggle, but there are alternatives.
I have a Yukon 5×42 Digital Night Vision Ranger monocular and it’s hard to go longer than 10 minutes without seeing a UFO. You can find this particular monocular brand new on Amazon for under $400.
I also have an ATN PVS7 Gen 3 Night vision goggle with an Alpha tube that is simply amazing but these types of goggle will run from $2,200- $4,000+.
If you’re looking for something in night vision goggles that is better than your own two eyes AND affordable, go with the Night Ranger monocular. OR… save up and get a good pair of night vision goggles. Either choice will show you more UFO’s than what you can see with the naked eye!
An uncovered letter written by John F Kennedy to the head of the CIA shows that the president demanded to be shown highly confidential documents about UFOs 10 days before his assassination.
The secret memo is one of two letters written by JFK asking for information about the paranormal on November 12 1963, which have been released by the CIA for the first time.
Author William Lester said the CIA released the documents to him under the Freedom of Information Act after he made a request while researching his new book ‘A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier.’
Assassination: Was JFK shot to stop him discovering the truth about UFOs?
The president’s interest in UFOs shortly before his death is likely to fuel conspiracy theories about his assassination, according to AOL News.
Alien researchers say the latest documents, released to Mr Lester by the CIA, add weight to the suggestion that the president could have been shot to stop him discovering the truth about UFOs.
In one of the secret documents released under the Freedom of Information Act, JFK writes to the director asking for the UFO files.
Released: Letter from JFK to CIA director asking for access to UFO files, which has been released to an author under the Freedom of Information Act
In the second memo, sent to the NASA administrator, the president expresses a desire for cooperation with the former Soviet Union on mutual outer space activities.
The previously classified documents were released under the Freedom of Information Act to teacher William Lester as part of research for a new book about JFK.
He said that JFK’s interest in UFOs could have been fuelled by concerns about relations with the former Soviet Union.
Beam me up: Days before he was killed, JFK wrote to the CIA demanding access to their files about UFOs
Unclassified: A second memo written by JFK on November 12 1963, 10 days before his assassination, which has been released by the CIA
‘One of his concerns was that a lot of these UFOs were being seen over the Soviet Union and he was very concerned that the Soviets might misinterpret these UFOs as U.S. aggression, believing that it was some of our technology,’ Mr Lester told AOL News.
‘I think this is one of the reasons why he wanted to get his hands on this information and get it away from the jurisdiction of NASA so he could say to the Soviets, “Look, that’s not us, we’re not doing it, we’re not being provocative. “.’
But conspiracy theorists said the documents add interest to a disputed file, nicknamed the ‘burned memo’, which a UFO investigator claims he received in the 1990s.
The document, which has scorch marks, is claimed to have been posted to UFO hunter Timothy Cooper in 1999 by an unknown CIA leak, but has never been verified.
Disputed: In the ‘burned memo’ the CIA director allegedly wrote: ‘Lancer [JFK] has made some inquiries regarding our activities, which we cannot allow’
In a note sent with the document, the apparent leaker said he worked for CIA between 1960 and 1974 and pulled the memo from a fire when the agency was burning some of its most sensitive files.
The undated memo contains a reference to ‘Lancer’, which was JFK’s Secret Service code name.
On the first page, the director of Central Intelligence wrote: ‘As you must know, Lancer has made some inquiries regarding our activities, which we cannot allow.
‘Please submit your views no later than October. Your action to this matter is critical to the continuance of the group.’
The current owner of the ‘burned memo’, who bought it from Timothy Cooper in 2001 told AOL News that it shows that when JFK asked questions about UFOs that the CIA ‘bumped him off’.
UFO investigator Robert Wood said he has tested the paper it was printed on, the ink age, watermarks, font types and other markings.
He said: ‘I hired a forensics company to check the age of the ink and check several other things that you can date, using the same techniques you’d use in a court of law.’
‘Britain’s Atlantis’ – a hidden underwater world swallowed by the North Sea – has been discovered by divers working with science teams from the University of St Andrews.
Doggerland, a huge area of dry land that stretched from Scotland to Denmark was slowly submerged by water between 18,000 BC and 5,500 BC.
Divers from oil companies have found remains of a ‘drowned world’ with a population of tens of thousands – which might once have been the ‘real heartland’ of Europe.
A team of climatologists, archaeologists and geophysicists has now mapped the area using new data from oil companies – and revealed the full extent of a ‘lost land’ once roamed by mammoths.
The research suggests that the populations of these drowned lands could have been tens of thousands, living in an area that stretched from Northern Scotland across to Denmark and down the English Channel as far as the Channel Islands.
The area was once the ‘real heartland’ of Europe and was hit by ‘a devastating tsunami’, the researchers claim.
The wave was part of a larger process that submerged the low-lying area over the course of thousands of years.
‘The name was coined for Dogger Bank, but it applies to any of several periods when the North Sea was land,’ says Richard Bates of the University of St Andrews. ‘Around 20,000 years ago, there was a ‘maximum’ – although part of this area would have been covered with ice. When the ice melted, more land was revealed – but the sea level also rose.
‘Through a lot of new data from oil and gas companies, we’re able to give form to the landscape – and make sense of the mammoths found out there, and the reindeer. We’re able to understand the types of people who were there.
‘People seem to think rising sea levels are a new thing – but it’s a cycle of Earth history that has happened many many times.’
Organized by Dr Richard Bates of the Department of Earth Sciences at St Andrews, the Drowned Landscapes exhibit reveals the human story behind Doggerland, a now submerged area of the North Sea that was once larger than many modern European countries.
Dr Bates, a geophysicist, said: ‘Doggerland was the real heartland of Europe until sea levels rose to give us the UK coastline of today.
We have speculated for years on the lost land’s existence from bones dredged by fishermen all over the North Sea, but it’s only since working with oil companies in the last few years that we have been able to re-create what this lost land looked like.
‘When the data was first being processed, I thought it unlikely to give us any useful information, however as more area was covered it revealed a vast and complex landscape.
‘We have now been able to model its flora and fauna, build up a picture of the ancient people that lived there and begin to understand some of the dramatic events that subsequently changed the land, including the sea rising and a devastating tsunami.’
The research project is a collaboration between St Andrews and the Universities of Aberdeen, Birmingham, Dundee and Wales Trinity St David.
Rediscovering the land through pioneering scientific research, the research reveals a story of a dramatic past that featured massive climate change. The public exhibit brings back to life the Mesolithic populations of Doggerland through artifacts discovered deep within the sea bed.
The research, a result of a painstaking 15 years of fieldwork around the murky waters of the UK, is one of the highlights of the London event.
The interactive display examines the lost landscape of Doggerland and includes artifacts from various times represented by the exhibit – from pieces of flint used by humans as tools to the animals that also inhabited these lands.
Using a combination of geophysical modelling of data obtained from oil and gas companies and direct evidence from material recovered from the seafloor, the research team was able to build up a reconstruction of the lost land.
The findings suggest a picture of a land with hills and valleys, large swamps and lakes with major rivers dissecting a convoluted coastline.
As the sea rose the hills would have become an isolated archipelago of low islands. By examining the fossil record – such as pollen grains, microfauna and macrofauna – the researchers can tell what kind of vegetation grew in Doggerland and what animals roamed there.
Using this information, they were able to build up a model of the ‘carrying capacity’ of the land and work out roughly how many humans could have lived there.
The research team is currently investigating more evidence of human behavior, including possible human burial sites, intriguing standing stones and a mass mammoth grave.
Dr Bates added: ‘We haven’t found an ‘x marks the spot’ or ‘Joe created this’, but we have found many artifacts and submerged features that are very difficult to explain by natural causes, such as mounds surrounded by ditches and fossilized tree stumps on the seafloor.
‘There is actually very little evidence left because much of it has eroded underwater; it’s like trying to find just part of a needle within a haystack. What we have found though is a remarkable amount of evidence and we are now able to pinpoint the best places to find preserved signs of life.’
Ancient Paintings depicting Alien Visitors: the Wandjina of Western Australia
The most visually striking of the ancient aboriginal paintings can be found in the Kimberly region of Western Australia. Besides bearing a striking resemblance to modern depictions of aliens, the Wandjina figures also have an interesting story to tell.
Due to its proximity to Southern Asia, it is very likely that the Aboriginal Australians settled in the Kimberly region as early as 70,000 years ago. Their mythology is rich and interesting, both in terms of characters and events and the legends surrounding the Wandjina make for a very interesting topic.
As the story goes, the Wandjina created the world and everything within it during a period the Aborigines call Dreamtime. The legend says they came from beyond the stars, acting as civilizing gods and teaching the locals their way of life.
After completing their work, the Wandjina left. According to some stories, they returned to their home, somewhere in the Milky Way. An alternative scenario has the Wandjina painting their likeness on the surfaces of rock shelters before entering the rocks themselves.
Aborigines hold the paintings in high regard and maintain them with a sense of sacred duty.
These depictions present the Wandjina as majestic and strange creatures, usually painted against white backgrounds. Their faces are encircled in an oval band with outward radiating lines, reminiscent of a space faring humanoid’s helmet. They are always painted with big black eyes, a nose but never with a mouth. In fact, legends say the Wandjina never resorted to speech as they conveyed their will directly inside the mind of their subjects. Telepathic abilities?
The Wandjina paintings of Western Australia aren’t the only ones of their kind. Similar ancient paintings have been found in Indian caves, all over South America and in many regions of Africa.
Sibera Doomed? Huge Landslide and Another Giant Crater hit Novokuznetsk!
Is Siberia doomed? In just three weeks, a town in the Novokuznetsk Region has seen a massive, slow moving landslide and yet another giant crater.
On April 1 (not a joke), a dramatic landslide occurred in a Siberian town, swallowing up roads and a railway, uprooting trees and destroying power lines. Thankfully, the disaster happened at a turtle’s pace and nobody was hurt.
But then, just as the locals were recovering from the effects of the landslip, another strange geological phenomenon hit the area. On April 20, a new giant crater appeared in town. Measuring 65 feet (20 meters) in diameter and with a depth of 100 feet (30 meters), the hole is causing panic amid residents, who fear the next one might swallow their homes.
The craters that have made the news in the past few months are a cause of great concern. But while the previous craters were only found in northern Siberia’s Yamal peninsula, this one is located almost 2,200 miles (3,500 kilometers) to the south.
Alarmingly, the Novokuznetsk crater is the southernmost sinkhole. Is this evidence that there is something brewing beneath Siberia, slowly making its way south?
Probably not. While Russian authorities made no comment on the situation, the locals blame the newly-formed crater on the abandoned coal mines just outside of town.
Emergency Ministry personnel arrived at the site, isolated the sinkhole and filled it with earth. The recent landslide had provided more than plenty…
100,000 Galaxies examined for Signs of Advanced Alien Life, 50 of them show promise!
Our follow-up studies of those galaxies may reveal if the origin of their radiation results from natural astronomical processes, or if it could indicate the presence of a highly advanced civilization.”—Roger Griffith, Penn State College of Science
Using NASA’s WISE satellite, scientists from the Pennsylvania State Universityexamined more than 100,000 galaxies, scouring them for telltale signs of advanced alien civilizations. As expected, they found no obvious evidence but they did manage to isolate 50 galaxies that show promise.
Since its launch in December of 2009, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope has collected data from more than 100 million objects.
A lot of ground to cover
Out of that huge collection, Roger Griffith, the lead researcher of the study, selected 100,000 images of galaxies that he believed were the most interesting. Griffith and his colleagues focused on the heat signature of these galaxies, or how much infrared radiation they emitted.
Jason Wright, assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State explains:
The idea behind our research is that, if an entire galaxy had been colonized by an advanced spacefaring civilization, the energy produced by that civilization’s technologies would be detectable in mid-infrared [MIR] wavelengths — exactly the radiation that the WISE satellite was designed to detect for other astronomical purposes.”
The idea that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations could be spotted through their heat signature is not new. A little history, for those who are interested:
In 1960, theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson hypothesized that such a civilization could be detected by looking at their energy consumption. The more advanced they became, the more energy they would use. Upon passing a certain technological threshold, the aliens would need to look outside their planet for a reliable energy source.
As a result, they would harness the energy of their star (or stars) by surrounding it with a solar energy collector known as a Dyson sphere. If such an energy trap would be constructed around a star, it would show up as an anomaly in an infrared wavelength photo.
Dyson Sphere encompassing a single star
In 1964, Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev took things a little further by establishing a scale for advanced alien civilizations, based on how much energy they used. A Type 1 civilization would use all available resources on its home planet. A Type 2 civilization would have higher energy demands and therefore harness the energy of its star while a Type 3 civilization would use so much energy it would require the total output of their entire galaxy.
Pertaining to the Kardashev scale, humans are expected to reach Type 1 status in 100 to 200 years.
The researchers at Penn State University focused on finding signs of Type 2 – Type 3 alien civilizations, due to the vast number of surveyed galaxies and current technological limitations.
Out of the 100,000 potential candidates, the scientists isolated 50 galaxies that showed “unusually high levels of mid-infrared radiation.” All of them show signs that at least 50% of their starlight is being reprocessed into MIR. Further studies will show whether this discrepancy stems from “natural astronomical processes, or if it could indicate the presence of a highly advanced civilization.”
However exciting this research might sound, we have to address an important question: Would we be able to detect such an advanced civilization, if it even exists? As Arthur C. Clarke once famously said, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Or, as science fiction author Karl Schroader put it, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable fromnature.”
Freeman Dyson himself—now 91 years of age but still interested in the secrets of the deep space—was contacted by Scientific American in order to discuss the study’s findings.
Our imaginings about the way that aliens might make themselves detectable are always like stories of black cats in a dark room,” he said. “If there are any real aliens, they are likely to behave in ways that we never imagined. The WISE result shows that the aliens did not follow one particular path. That is good to know. But it still leaves a huge variety of other paths open. The failure of one guess does not mean that we should stop looking for aliens.”
Well put, Mr. Dyson!
