Why are so many UFOs being reported near nuclear facilities—and why isn’t there more urgency on the part of the government to assess their potential national-security threat?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Those are questions being asked by a team of high-ranking former U.S. defense and intelligence officials, aerospace-industry veterans, academics and others associated with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://dpo.tothestarsacademy.com/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;To the Stars Academy of Arts &amp;amp; Science&lt;/a&gt;. The team has been investigating a wide range of these sightings—and advocating more serious government attention.&lt;/div&gt;

Their investigations are the subject of HISTORY’s limited series “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/shows/unidentified-inside-americas-ufo-investigation&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;Unidentified&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;

Throughout history, unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs) have shocked, frightened and fascinated sky watchers. And in the last century, more than a few have been reported in military contexts. In late World War II, U.S. airmen called them “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/news/wwii-ufos-allied-airmen-orange-lights-foo-fighters&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;foo fighters&lt;/a&gt;”: strange orange flying lights by the French-German border. During the Korean War, some soldiers claimed a blue-green light emitting “pulsing rays”&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/news/korean-war-us-army-ufo-attack-illness&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;made their whole battalion sick&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with what, to some, resembled radiation poisoning.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Less known: In the last 75 years, high-ranking U.S. military and intelligence personnel have also reported UAPs near sites associated with nuclear power, weaponry and technology—from the early atomic-bomb development and test sites to active nuclear naval fleets.&lt;/div&gt;

“All of the nuclear facilities—Los Alamos, Livermore, Sandia, Savannah River—all had dramatic incidents where these unknown craft appeared over the facilities and nobody knew where they were from or what they were doing there,” says investigative journalist George Knapp, who has studied the UAP-nuclear connection for more than 30 years. Knapp has gathered documentation by filing Freedom of Information Act requests to the departments of defense and energy.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“There seems to be a lot of correlation there,” says Lue Elizondo, who from 2007 to 2012 served as director of a covert team of UAP researchers operating inside the Department of Defense. The program, called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP),&amp;nbsp;received $22 million of the Pentagon’s $600 billion budget in 2012,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;The New York Times&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;reported. Elizondo now helps lead To the Stars’ investigations.&lt;/div&gt;

Nuclear-adjacent sightings go back decades, says Robert Hastings, a UFO researcher and author of the book&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites&lt;/em&gt;. Hastings says he’s interviewed more than 160 veterans who have witnessed strange things in the skies around nuclear sites.&lt;/div&gt;

“You have objects being tracked on radar performing at speeds that no object on earth can perform,” Hastings says. “You have eyewitness [military] personnel. You have jet pilots.” Witnesses to these incidents are often highly trained personnel with top security clearances. In recent years, their reports are being corroborated by sophisticated technology.&lt;/div&gt;

In the 1960s and ’70s, repeated UFO sightings emerged at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, a storage site for nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). At one such alleged sighting in 1967, former Air Force Capt. Robert Salas says several of those missiles became inoperative at the same time base security reported seeing a glowing red object, about 30 feet in diameter, hovering over the facility.

Observers can only speculate about the origin of these unexplained phenomena. But the repeated proximity to sensitive defense sites connected to our nation’s most powerful weapons has raised the question of whether they might originate from adversaries—known or unknown.&lt;/div&gt;

In late December 1980, air-traffic controllers encountered something alarming near Royal Air Force Bentwaters in England. Used by the U.S. Air Force as a European foothold during the Cold War, Bentwaters housed a secret stash of nuclear weapons in 25 fortified underground bunkers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“We looked up on the radar scope and saw something…not like anything I’d seen before,” Ivan Barker, a U.S. Air Force air-traffic controller working that night, told HISTORY.com.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Barker, a master sergeant who was second in charge at the facility, says he was an 18-year veteran at that point and knew “about every aircraft in the U.S.,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/formation-of-nato-and-warsaw-pact&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;NATO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/topics/russia/history-of-the-soviet-union&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;Soviet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;bloc.” This object, he says, shocked him and his two colleagues that night with its remarkable speed and maneuverability. On radar, it covered 120 miles in a matter of seconds, he said: “It had to be moving Mach 5, 6, 7 or 8—faster than anything other than possibly a missile.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
As he looked up from the radar to view it directly, the craft moved into close range, slowed and then stopped over the base’s water tower: “Like a helicopter hovering, except with a helicopter you get movement up and down. This was stationary. It was between about 1,500 and 2,000 feet high. The thing was…at least a city block…in diameter.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Barker says it was shaped like a giant basketball, with portholes around the center, from which lights were emanating outward. “I was shocked… There was nothing aerodynamic about it. Basketballs don’t fly.”&lt;/div&gt;

It stopped over the water tower for only a few seconds, he said, before reversing course and speeding back the way it came in: “It was like—swish!—it’s gone.”&lt;/div&gt;

Barker didn’t report the sighting to his superiors. “You don’t understand what the Air Force did to people who reported UFOs,” he says.&lt;/div&gt;

Halt led a patrol that night to investigate strange colorful lights seen descending into nearby Rendlesham Forest. Halt described to Elizondo what he saw from inside the forest: a red light moving horizontally though the trees, &quot;obviously under some kind of intelligent control.” A laser-like beam, he said, “landed 10-15 feet away from us. I was literally in shock.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Then the beam’s source quickly left, flying north toward the base, says Halt, who&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charleshalt.com/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;audiotaped&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the incident at the time. “We could hear chatter on the radios that the beams went down into the weapons storage area.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Later, his commander played the audio for a general, who dismissed the need for further investigation. They were loath to get involved, says Halt.&lt;/div&gt;

“Wherever we were, they were there,” says Ryan Graves, an active-duty F-18 fighter pilot from the USS Roosevelt, who holds a degree in aerospace engineering.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The objects appeared in three shapes, Graves says—some were discs, others looked like a cube inside a sphere, while smaller round objects flew together in formation. All lacked visible engines or exhaust systems. Some tilted, mid-flight, like spinning tops, as seen on an infrared&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/playlists/ufo-fighter-pilots-video-playlist&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;released by the U.S. Department of Defense in 2017.

One UAP, Grave says, almost caused a terrifying collision by zipping dangerously between two planes. An aviation flight-safety report was filed, he says, but never investigated.&lt;/div&gt;

“It’s hard to find a prosaic explanation for a carrier battle group being shadowed by unidentified aircraft all the way across the Atlantic, to an area of operations overseas in the Middle East,” says Chris Mellon, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, who now serves as an integral part of the To The Stars team. “It makes an extremely compelling case for the existence of technologies we didn’t think were possible.”&lt;/div&gt;

Still, the Roosevelt reports echo those made by Navy pilots undergoing training exercises on the other side of the country. In November 2004 pilots and radar operators from the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/news/uss-nimitz-2004-tic-tac-ufo-encounter&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;USS Nimitz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;carrier fleet saw a 40-foot long tic-tac shaped object flying just above the ocean while flying 100 miles off the coast of California near San Diego. When F-18 fighter jets were scrambled to approach the object, it accelerated, easily outrunning the supersonic Navy craft.&lt;/div&gt;

Whereas earlier reports were career-killers for military personnel, there is an increasing openness in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill to taking these sightings seriously as potential threats. In April 2019, the U.S. Navy announced that it was&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/news/us-navy-ufo-sighting-guidelines&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;updating its guidelines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;for how pilots and personnel should report unexplained aerial phenomena—making it easier for military members to report sightings to superiors without facing professional stigma and backlash.

George Knapp says that’s more activity than he has seen in three decades. He, and many others, think it’s overdue.&lt;/div&gt;

“At the facilities where we were first designing and building nuclear weapons…at the places where we were processing the fuel…at the facilities where we were testing the weapons…at the bases where we deployed those weapons, on the ships…the nuclear submarines… All those places, all the people working there have seen these things,” Knapp says.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“Are they all crazy?” he continued. “Because if they are, they shouldn&#39;t have their hands on nuclear weapons.”&lt;/div&gt;

Nuclear-adjacent sightings go back decades, says Robert Hastings, a UFO researcher and author of the book&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites&lt;/em&gt;. Hastings says he’s interviewed more than 160 veterans who have witnessed strange things in the skies around nuclear sites.&lt;/div&gt;

“You have objects being tracked on radar performing at speeds that no object on earth can perform,” Hastings says. “You have eyewitness [military] personnel. You have jet pilots.” Witnesses to these incidents are often highly trained personnel with top security clearances. In recent years, their reports are being corroborated by sophisticated technology.&lt;/div&gt;

In the 1960s and ’70s, repeated UFO sightings emerged at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, a storage site for nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). At one such alleged sighting in 1967, former Air Force Capt. Robert Salas says several of those missiles became inoperative at the same time base security reported seeing a glowing red object, about 30 feet in diameter, hovering over the facility. Salas, who commanded ICBMs as a launch officer and later worked in the aerospace industry and at the Federal Aviation Administration,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/27/ufos-showed-interest-in-nukes-ex-air-force-personnel-say/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;told CNN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the “missiles began going into what&#39;s called a ‘no-go condition,’ or unlaunchable.”&lt;/div&gt;

Observers can only speculate about the origin of these unexplained phenomena. But the repeated proximity to sensitive defense sites connected to our nation’s most powerful weapons has raised the question of whether they might originate from adversaries—known or unknown.&lt;/div&gt;

In late December 1980, air-traffic controllers encountered something alarming near Royal Air Force Bentwaters in England. Used by the U.S. Air Force as a European foothold during the Cold War, Bentwaters housed a secret stash of nuclear weapons in 25 fortified underground bunkers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“We looked up on the radar scope and saw something…not like anything I’d seen before,” Ivan Barker, a U.S. Air Force air-traffic controller working that night, told HISTORY.com.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Barker, a master sergeant who was second in charge at the facility, says he was an 18-year veteran at that point and knew “about every aircraft in the U.S.,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/formation-of-nato-and-warsaw-pact&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;NATO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/topics/russia/history-of-the-soviet-union&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;Soviet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;bloc.” This object, he says, shocked him and his two colleagues that night with its remarkable speed and maneuverability. On radar, it covered 120 miles in a matter of seconds, he said: “It had to be moving Mach 5, 6, 7 or 8—faster than anything other than possibly a missile.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
As he looked up from the radar to view it directly, the craft moved into close range, slowed and then stopped over the base’s water tower: “Like a helicopter hovering, except with a helicopter you get movement up and down. This was stationary. It was between about 1,500 and 2,000 feet high. The thing was…at least a city block…in diameter.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Barker says it was shaped like a giant basketball, with portholes around the center, from which lights were emanating outward. “I was shocked… There was nothing aerodynamic about it. Basketballs don’t fly.”&lt;/div&gt;

It stopped over the water tower for only a few seconds, he said, before reversing course and speeding back the way it came in: “It was like—swish!—it’s gone.”&lt;/div&gt;

Barker didn’t report the sighting to his superiors. “You don’t understand what the Air Force did to people who reported UFOs,” he says.&lt;/div&gt;

Barker’s story dovetails with that of Col.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1107800169234262&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Charles Halt&lt;/a&gt;, Bentwaters’ deputy commander at the time. Halt led a patrol that night to investigate strange colorful lights seen descending into nearby Rendlesham Forest. Halt described to Elizondo what he saw from inside the forest: a red light moving horizontally though the trees, &quot;obviously under some kind of intelligent control.” A laser-like beam, he said, “landed 10-15 feet away from us. I was literally in shock.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Then the beam’s source quickly left, flying north toward the base, says Halt, who&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charleshalt.com/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;audiotaped&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the incident at the time. “We could hear chatter on the radios that the beams went down into the weapons storage area.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Later, his commander played the audio for a general, who dismissed the need for further investigation. They were loath to get involved, says Halt.&lt;/div&gt;

“Wherever we were, they were there,” says Ryan Graves, an active-duty F-18 fighter pilot from the USS Roosevelt, who holds a degree in aerospace engineering.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The objects appeared in three shapes, Graves says—some were discs, others looked like a cube inside a sphere, while smaller round objects flew together in formation. All lacked visible engines or exhaust systems. Some tilted, mid-flight, like spinning tops, as seen on an infrared&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/playlists/ufo-fighter-pilots-video-playlist&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;released by the U.S. Department of Defense in 2017.

“It’s hard to find a prosaic explanation for a carrier battle group being shadowed by unidentified aircraft all the way across the Atlantic, to an area of operations overseas in the Middle East,” says Chris Mellon, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, who now serves as an integral part of the To The Stars team. “It makes an extremely compelling case for the existence of technologies we didn’t think were possible.”&lt;/div&gt;

They include “bugs in the [radar’s] code for the imaging and display systems, atmospheric effects and reflections [and] neurological overload from multiple inputs during high-speed flight.”&lt;/div&gt;

Still, the Roosevelt reports echo those made by Navy pilots undergoing training exercises on the other side of the country. In November 2004 pilots and radar operators from the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/news/uss-nimitz-2004-tic-tac-ufo-encounter&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;USS Nimitz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;carrier fleet saw a 40-foot long tic-tac shaped object flying just above the ocean while flying 100 miles off the coast of California near San Diego. When F-18 fighter jets were scrambled to approach the object, it accelerated, easily outrunning the supersonic Navy craft.&lt;/div&gt;

Whereas earlier reports were career-killers for military personnel, there is an increasing openness in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill to taking these sightings seriously as potential threats. In April 2019, the U.S. Navy announced that it was&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/news/us-navy-ufo-sighting-guidelines&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;updating its guidelines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;for how pilots and personnel should report unexplained aerial phenomena—making it easier for military members to report sightings to superiors without facing professional stigma and backlash.

“At the facilities where we were first designing and building nuclear weapons…at the places where we were processing the fuel…at the facilities where we were testing the weapons…at the bases where we deployed those weapons, on the ships…the nuclear submarines… All those places, all the people working there have seen these things,” Knapp says.&lt;/div&gt;

Last month, &lt;a href=&quot;https://walker.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/walker-discusses-reports-uap-encounters-sends-letter-navy-secretary&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Republican representative Mark Walker of North Carolina&lt;/a&gt; wrote a letter expressing concern over the recent surge in UFO-related events affecting American military forces.&lt;br /&gt;
 Walker’s concerns stem from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;December 2017 article in the &lt;i&gt; New York Times&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; about the now defunded secret Pentagon UFO program called AATIP and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/26/us/politics/ufo-sightings-navy-pilots.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;revelations that several Navy pilots in 2004 and 2015 engaged in bizarre encounters with anomalous aerial objects off the coast of California and Florida&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/23/us-navy-guidelines-reporting-ufos-1375290&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The news that the Navy is now changing its protocols for personnel to report UFO sightings&lt;/a&gt; has spurred a renewed interest in the potential safety and security risks these unknown objects pose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;ad-unit__container__container&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;article-iac__wrapper&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&quot;The reports mention the existence of these encounters both domestically and abroad during various missions and trainings,&quot; Walker wrote. &quot;Based on pilot accounts, encounters with these UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena) often involved complex flight patterns and advanced maneuvering, which demand extreme advances in quantum mechanics, nuclear science, electromagnetics, and thermodynamics.” &lt;br /&gt;
What&#39;s most notable is that what Walker is asking for closely aligns with what Blink 182 singer Tom Delonge&#39;s To the Stars Academy (TTSA) has been uncovering and publishing over the last few years. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/xwnezk/tom-delonges-ufo-organization-says-its-obtained-exotic-metals-unknown-to-science&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;While TTSA has made some odd claims&lt;/a&gt;, the sheer amount of attention the media is giving the UFO topic in the last two years has undoubtedly increased.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What we see here with Mark Walker’s letter to the Secretary of the Navy is the undiscussed, but most successful component of TTSA—a political lobby,&quot; Tim McMillan, a law enforcement consultant and intelligence analyst interested in UFOs, said in an interview. &quot;It’s abundantly clear by the language of his letter, Rep. Walker is acting on information brought out by TTSA or their proxies.”&lt;br /&gt;
“The Navy’s response to Rep. Walker will be the most interesting aspect of all this,” McMillan added. “Will Rep. Walker make the Navy’s response public? If he feels the Navy’s response is inadequate, will Rep. Walker push the issue further?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Noting the various reports made by pilots expressing their amazement at how the objects in question seemed to easily outmaneuver their fighter planes, Walker states, &quot;If the accounts are true, the unidentified crafts could pose a serious security risk to our military personnel and defense apparatus.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 Walker concludes the letter by asking two key questions on everyone’s mind; does the Department of Defense “continue to dedicate resources to tracking and investigating these claims” of unidentified objects and has the DoD found “physical evidence or otherwise that substantiates these claims?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;ad-unit__container__container&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;article-iac__wrapper&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
This letter seems to suggest that the study of UFOs is becoming serious political business and has many within the UFO community stating that this is a pivotal moment in the study of the phenomenon. Perhaps Walker just likes UFOs. Whatever the case, politicians and high-ranking officials have been addicted to UFOs for decades and Walker’s letter is just another example in a long history of politicians trying to get answers. (No, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/pa7e7n/if-elected-president-bernie-sanders-promises-to-tell-us-about-aliens&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bernie Sanders doesn&#39;t count&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the most unique, and politically shrewd, UFO discussions occurred on the floor of the Canadian House of Commons in 1967 and 1968 when Ed Schreyer and Barry Mather, two Ministers of Parliament from British Columbia, demanded more information concerning UFOs from the Department of National Defence. They made a public motion that all relevant government departments be forced by the House to “issue a copy of all letters, reports, studies or other data” with respect to unidentified flying objects be made public. &lt;br /&gt;
 Author and researcher Chris Rutkowski, an expert in Canadian UFO history, told Motherboard that this type of public and open dialogue on the House floor is unheard of. Rutkowski stated that it led to a formal motion to have all related UFO documents released. But ultimately, the Canadian government didn&#39;t release the files mentioned. However, “it shows that politicians have demanded action on UFOs for decades,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;ad-unit__container__container&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;article-iac__wrapper&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Former presidential candidate and Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater tried, on multiple occasions in the late 1960’s and 70’s, to gain access to certain areas of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base but was denied access where, he alleged, the Air Force was hiding evidence regarding flying saucers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think the government does know [about UFOs],&quot; Goldwater said in a 1994 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPFBg1NNUBU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;radio interview.&lt;/a&gt; &quot;I can’t back that up, but I think that at Wright-Patterson field, if you could get into a certain place, you’d find out what the Air Force and the government knows about UFOs.” &lt;br /&gt;
 “I called Curtis LeMay [Goldwater&#39;s running mate and former Air Force General] and I said, ‘General, I know we have a room at Wright-Patterson where you put all this secret stuff. Could I go in there?’ I’ve never heard him get mad, but he got madder than hell at me, cussed me out, and said, ‘Don’t ever ask me that question again!’”&lt;br /&gt;
In 1993, New Mexico Congressman Steven Schiff made several inquiries to the DoD regarding the infamous Roswell UFO crash of 1947. While his letters were shuffled around between several bureaucrats and offices for two years, it was finally investigated by the General Accounting Office (Government Accountability Office today). The GAO launched an investigation into the Roswell crash. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nsa.gov/Portals/70/documents/news-features/declassified-documents/ufo/general_accounting_office_s_schiff.pdf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Its findings came out in July of 1995&lt;/a&gt;, which established the Roswell crash to be nothing more than a balloon from a military project called &lt;a href=&quot;https://muller.lbl.gov/teaching/physics10/Roswell/USMogulReport.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MOGUL&lt;/a&gt;. Indeed, Schiff’s letters and the GAO response was big UFO news in the mid-90’s, yet did not provide any answers or hard evidence to sate the UFO community.&lt;br /&gt;

Ilyumzhinov says that, on an evening in September 1997, ETs wearing yellow spacesuits spirited him out of his Moscow home and took him to their spaceship. Here’s part of an interview he gave in 2007 for an Al Jazeera news report, “Meet the President — Kirsan Ilyumzhinov”:&lt;/div&gt;

I was taken [from] my apartment in Moscow to this spaceship, and we went to some star and after that, I asked them, ‘Please bring me back.’ They are like people, like us. They have the same mind and the same vision. I talked with them and I understand that we are not alone in this whole world — we are not unique.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I’m not a crazy man, but after I gave the first interview to Radio Freedom in Russia ... thousands — not hundreds — thousands of people wrote me letters and called on the phone, saying, ‘Oh, Kirsan, you are a politician and you are not afraid to talk about it?’&lt;/div&gt;

Following a 2010 television interview in which Ilyumzhinov freely spoke of his alleged meeting with aliens on a spaceship, a member of the Russian Parliament — Andre Lebedev — voiced several concerns to President Dmitry Medvedev, according to &lt;a data-rapid-parsed=&quot;slk&quot; data-rapid_p=&quot;9&quot; data-v9y=&quot;1&quot; data-ylk=&quot;subsec:paragraph;cpos:8;elm:context_link;itc:0&quot; href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8662822.stm&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(13, 190, 152) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: black; text-decoration-line: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;BBC News&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

Lebedev wanted to know if Ilyumzhinov was “fit to govern.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

“He is also concerned that, if [Ilyumzhinov] was abducted, he may have revealed details about his job and state secrets. ... Assuming the whole thing was not just a bad joke, it was an historic event and should have been reported to the Kremlin,” the BBC quoted Lebedev.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

“[Lebedev] also asks if there are official guidelines for what government officials should do if contacted by aliens, especially if those officials have access to state secrets.”&lt;/div&gt;

Considering his alleged otherworldly encounter and his long-term association with FIDE, it’s not surprising to hear Ilyumzhinov make an out-of-this-world connection between aliens and the game of chess.&lt;/div&gt;

“My theory is that chess comes from space. Because it’s the same rules — 64 squares, black and white, and the same rules in Japan, in China, in Qatar, in Mongolia, in Africa — the rules are the same. Why? I think maybe it is from space.”&lt;/div&gt;

It was not in our Russian space vehicles, but with aliens. They came in a flying saucer, picked me up, and I spent a whole day in outer space.&lt;/div&gt;

It was from my apartment. They flew in and picked me up. They were wearing yellow spacesuits. I remember this moment exactly. We went off to their interplanetary ship, and I started to feel a lack of air, a lack of oxygen. They gave me a spacesuit as well.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.75rem; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
One of the aliens pointed to his chest and indicated that the oxygen supply could be regulated by turning a dial. So this is what I did.&lt;/div&gt;

It’s probably a good reminder moment that this is a man who was president of a Russian republic for 17 years, has been the president of the global chess organization for the past two decades, may seek the presidency of FIFA and has had numerous high-powered political connections, including the above pictured Putin.&lt;/div&gt;

The ship was absolutely enormous. One of its chambers was the size of a large football pitch. We landed on one of the planets and picked up some piece of equipment. They told me everything in detail.&lt;/div&gt;

I asked them to take me back to Earth as quickly as possible, because in two days I had to conduct Youth Government Week. And then they brought me back and everything was normal again.&lt;/div&gt;

A few days later I was walking along thinking: ‘Why did they take me?’ And I was cursing myself for not asking them any questions. But it is possible that it is still not the time for us to meet these extraterrestrial civilizations.&lt;/div&gt;

That question of “Why did they take me?” has most likely been echoed by the countless people who have claimed over several decades to have experiences quite similar to what Ilyumzhinov insists happened to him.&lt;/div&gt;

In fact, these so-called international UFO abductees form the basis of a growing sub-culture of the UFO community — they call themselves “experiencers.” For more than a quarter of a century, &lt;a data-rapid-parsed=&quot;slk&quot; data-rapid_p=&quot;11&quot; data-v9y=&quot;1&quot; data-ylk=&quot;subsec:paragraph;cpos:20;elm:context_link;itc:0&quot; href=&quot;http://experiencer.co/&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(13, 190, 152) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: black; text-decoration-line: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;groups of like-minded individuals&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;have found solace by sharing their experiences with each other.&lt;/div&gt;

Is the alien abduction phenomenon truly alien-related? According to a 2009 ABC News report, “Psychologists say the &lt;a data-rapid-parsed=&quot;slk&quot; data-rapid_p=&quot;12&quot; data-v9y=&quot;1&quot; data-ylk=&quot;subsec:paragraph;cpos:21;elm:context_link;itc:0&quot; href=&quot;http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=8330290&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(13, 190, 152) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: black; text-decoration-line: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;media-generated images of alien kidnappings&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;can become easily engrained in our subconscious and then vividly re-enacted in our dreams.”&lt;/div&gt;

One reason why many people in Russia and America may appear to have cut Ilyumzhinov some slack about his claims is because they believe they’ve shared a similar experience.&lt;/div&gt;

Perhaps the Russian population sees him as someone bending the rules when he talks about having had an experience with a UFO and its alien crew,”&amp;nbsp;said Jan Harzan, executive director of the &lt;a data-rapid-parsed=&quot;slk&quot; data-rapid_p=&quot;13&quot; data-v9y=&quot;1&quot; data-ylk=&quot;subsec:paragraph;cpos:23;elm:context_link;itc:0&quot; href=&quot;http://www.mufon.com/&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(13, 190, 152) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: black; text-decoration-line: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mutual UFO Network&lt;/a&gt;, the largest civilian-based UFO investigating organization in the world.&lt;/div&gt;

“Whether he’s outspoken about UFOs from experience or just for publicity and attention, we don’t know,” Harzan told The Huffington Post in an email. “But it is rather unusual when you compare him to American politicians. Here in the U.S., it is still political disaster for a politician to discuss UFOs from a personal point of view.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

FIFA will choose its new president next February. If Ilyumzhinov decides to enter the race of international football president contenders, maybe he’s due for another ET visit — one that might convince him that perhaps “they” invented football, too.&lt;/div&gt;

Heb je al gehoord van die gekke bollen die af en toe gevonden worden? Ze komen uit de lucht vallen, ergens op een plek op onze planeet, veroorzaakten wel eens brand ook, zijn hol vanbinnen, en vertonen raar gedrag als je ze mee neemt naar huis ( onzin?). Zie deze video op Youtube:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Het is ruimte-afval.... van onze eigen ruimteraketten.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deze bol met &quot;tepel&quot; is de brandstoftank van een raket, lees hier :&lt;br /&gt;

Sen. Barry Goldwater (R) revealed that he had previously attempted to find out what was in the building at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, where UFO information was allegedly stored. His request was denied because it was classified above top secret. In a 1988 interview with Larry King, Goldwater said he believed secret government UFO investigations were going on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

2010 -- New Hampshire state Rep. Henry W. McElroy (R) recorded a video on which he claimed to have seen a briefing document from the 1950s that described how benevolent aliens were present in the U.S. and that a meeting could be arranged between them and former President Eisenhower (seen here).&lt;br /&gt;

1974 -- President Richard Nixon (R) became part of UFO folklore when he allegedly took comedian Jackie Gleason to Homestead Air Force Base in Florida in 1974 and showed him wreckage of a flying saucer as well as the remains of several extraterrestrials. The story was made public by two people: Gleason&#39;s wife, Beverly, told Esquire magazine that her husband had related this tale to her. And Gleason, who was known to have a strong interest in UFOs, reportedly told the story to author Larry Warren, who had been involved in real UFO encounters experienced by many American military personnel at the RAF Bentwaters base in the U.K. in 1980.&lt;/div&gt;

Op 9 december 1965 werd door duizenden inwoners boven zes staten van Amerika een gigantische vuurbal opgemerkt en kwamen verscheidene metalen brokstukken neer boven Michigan en het noorden van de staat Ohio. Volgens de eerste geruchten zou het gegaan hebben om een meteoor maar inwoners van het kleine stadje Kecksburg, dat gelegen is op ongeveer 45 kilometer van Pennsylvania, beweerden dat een object zou neergekomen zijn in een dichtbij gelegen bos.&lt;/div&gt;

Leger zet gebied af&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem;&quot;&gt;
Volgens een klein jongetje uit de stad Keckburg zou een onbekend voorwerp&amp;nbsp;geland zijn&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;een nabij gelegen&amp;nbsp;bos. Toen zijn moeder een blauwe wolk zag opstijgen uit het bos verwittigde ze onmiddellijk de lokale politie. Volgens verklaringen van de plaatselijke vrijwillige brandweerlieden werd een object gevonden in het bos dat de vorm had van een klok en ongeveer even groot was&amp;nbsp;als een Volkwagen Beatle&amp;nbsp;met daarop&amp;nbsp;rare tekens die veel weg hadden van Egyptische hiërogliefen. Volgens andere ooggetuigen begon het Amerikaanse leger het bos af te zetten en werd een voorwerp door een vrachtwagen uit het bos gereden naar een onbekende plaats. Er bevond zich ook heel snel een journalist van de plaatselijke krant op het terrein en de krantenkop van de volgende dag luidde: &#39;Unidentified Flying Object Falls near Kecksburg&amp;nbsp;- Army Ropes off Area&#39;.&lt;/div&gt;

Schokgolven&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem;&quot;&gt;
Het incident werd meermaals besproken in verschillende wetenschappelijke magazines doorheen de geschiedenis en zo werd in de februari editie van Sky and Telescope 1966 geschreven dat de vuurbal, die duizenden mensen hadden waargenomen, eveneens door 23 piloten werd gezien vanuit hun cockpit omstreeks 4u44 plaatselijke tijd. Een seismograaf die zich op&amp;nbsp;veertig kilometer van de stad Detroit bevond, rapporteerde enkele schokgolven in de aarde toen de vuurbal doorheen de lucht zoefde.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.75rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Zachte landing&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem;&quot;&gt;
In 2003 werd een wetenschappelijke studie gesponsord door het Sci Fi Channel dat vooral onderzoek verrichte naar de plaats waar het object was neergekomen en dit in samenwerking met de &#39;Coalition for Freedom of Information&#39;. Hun belangrijkste ondervinding was dat verschillende bomen, die zich in het bos nabij Kecksbug bevonden, grote schade hadden opgelopen. Dit was dan ook het eerste grote fysische bewijs dat er weldegelijk een object moet zijn neergekomen in deze regio. Volgens het Amerikaanse leger, dat het terrein had onderzocht, werd er niets gevonden in het bos en had het leger helemaal niets weggehaald uit de regio. Een ander bewijs dat het wetenschappelijke onderzoek opleverde, was dat de grond in het bos geen schade vertoonde wat er op kon wijzen dat een object een zachte landing moet hebben gemaakt. Hierdoor werd er uitgesloten dat er een meteoriet zou zijn neergekomen aangezien deze grote schade zou veroorzaakt hebben.&amp;nbsp;Op 1 november 2003 werd door de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA een document vrijgegeven van veertig&amp;nbsp;pagina’s dik over het incident. Hierin stond echter niets nieuws. Er werden&amp;nbsp;uiteindelijk ook nog&amp;nbsp;documenten vrijgegeven door de Amerikaanse luchtmacht waarin&amp;nbsp;een verslag terug te vinden was van drie militairen die het terrein hadden onderzocht maar deze hadden eveneens niets gevonden.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.75rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Russische satelliet&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem;&quot;&gt;
Bijna&amp;nbsp;veertig jaar na de crash in Kecksburg, in december 2005, maakte een NASA woordvoerder bekend dat het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap weldegelijk metalen brokstukken zou hebben onderzocht die afkomstig waren uit het bos van Kecksburg. Volgens NASA zou het gaan om delen van een Russische satelliet. Volgens de woordvoerder werden alle onderdelen zorgvuldig onderzocht door NASA-experts maar gingen de documenten over dit onderzoek in de jaren &#39;90 verloren. Deze nieuwe verklaring van NASA staat volledig in tegenstelling met de verklaring van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht die in 1965 beweerde niets te hedden gevonden op dit terrein.&lt;/div&gt;

Cosmos 96&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem;&quot;&gt;
Nu NASA voor een nieuwe versie van het verhaal had gezorgd, gingen journalisten uitpluizen of het verhaal van de Russische satelliet klopte of niet. Volgens een verklaring van Nicholas Johnson, die hoofdonderzoeker was voor NASA naar brokstukken die afkomstig waren uit de ruimte, was het onmogelijk dat het brokstuk, dat werd waargenomen door inwoners uit Kecksburg, een onderdeel zou geweest zijn van een Russische Venus satelliet die de naam Cosmos 96 kreeg. Indien het toch zou gegaan hebben om&amp;nbsp;het Russische ruimtetuig was het volgens Johnson onmogelijk dat dit voorwerp dergelijke grote vuurbal zou kunnen hebben veroorzaakt die door duizenden mensen werd gezien. Opnieuw rees de vraag over welk Russisch voorwerp het uiteindelijk wel zou gaan en welke brokstukken NASA&amp;nbsp;dan wel had&amp;nbsp;onderzocht. Volgens velen is het ook onmogelijk dat de&amp;nbsp;Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie&amp;nbsp;deze belangrijke documenten van dit onderzoek kwijtraakte. In december 2005 werd opnieuw een proces aangespannen tegen NASA om de documenten vrij te geven of deze beter te zoeken.&lt;/div&gt;

Doofpotoperatie&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem;&quot;&gt;
Net als het stadje Roswell in New Mexico is Kecksburg voor vele UFO aanhangers één van de vele doofpotoperaties van de Amerikaanse overheid en is dit verhaal het ultieme bewijs dat de Aarde bezocht werd door buitenaards leven. Voor anderen is Kecksburg een bewijs dat de Koude Oorlog nog steeds zijn geheimen niet prijsgeeft en we wellicht nooit zullen weten welke testen zowel&amp;nbsp;de Verenigde Staten&amp;nbsp;alsook de toenmalige Sovjet-Unie ondernomen hebben in&amp;nbsp;de ruimte of&amp;nbsp;welke ruimtetuigen beide landen allemaal hebben gelanceerd. Een andere mogelijke verklaring zou zijn herkomst hebben in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Zo gaan sommigen ervan uit dat het voorwerp dat neergekomen is nabij Kecksburg gelijkenissen vertoont met een geheim wapen van de nazi&#39;s dat gekend&amp;nbsp;was onder de naam &#39;Die Glocke&#39; (de bel). Indien het echter zou gaan om een ongevaarlijke, gekende satelliet zou er nooit een dergelijke grote geheimhouding zijn geweest rond dit incident.&lt;/div&gt;

Ik herinner mij ook een relaas van een werknemer die ergens gaan neuzen was bij NASA waar hij niet mocht komen en die die klok met zijn eigen ogen gezien heeft (deze, of iets gelijkaardigs) dus al die leugens van &quot;er is daar niks gevonden&quot; ...&lt;/div&gt;

One close encounter, in 1968, involved the crew of an American patrol boat that reported two glowing circular craft following them in the demilitarized zone that separated North and South Vietnam (see depiction below).&lt;/div&gt;

The crew aboard a second patrol boat later reported seeing the UFOs over the first boat and a flash of light, followed by an explosion that completely destroyed the boat. These Vietnam reports included close observation of the unknown aerial craft which appeared to house pilots (see recreation image at the top of this story).&lt;/div&gt;

“The military was interested in [UFOs] because they had capabilities far above anything that we had, and they wanted to find out what the technology was and, frankly, who they belonged to,” according to former Air Force intelligence officer, Capt. George Filer.&lt;/div&gt;

While in Vietnam, Filer — who had a top secret clearance — gave daily briefings to Gen. George S. Brown, deputy commander for air operations in Vietnam.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

“Frequently, the Vietcong or North Vietnamese would be attacking an outpost and I would explain that, and we would have ground-air support, particularly at night where we’d go in there with these gun ships, and I would give briefings on all of that,” Filer told The Huffington Post. “Some of the time, there would be unidentified craft over the DMZ.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Filer described a typical report that he’d receive and which he included in his briefings to Brown:&lt;/div&gt;

“You’d have an aircraft flying along, doing around 500 knots and a UFO comes alongside and does some barrel rolls around the aircraft and then flies off at three times the speed of one of the fastest jets we have in the Air Force. So, obviously, it has a technology far in advance of anything we have.&lt;/div&gt;

“I would be told this unofficially. People tell you a lot of things that they don’t put in writing or sign their name to. There was always this part of UFOs that, if you got too interested, it could mess up your career.

I don’t know whether this story has ever been told or not. They weren’t called UFOs. The were called enemy helicopters. And they were only seen at night and they were only seen in certain places. They were seen up around the DMZ in the early summer of ‘68. And this resulted in quite a little battle.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;strong style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit;&quot;&gt;And in the course of this, an Australian destroyer took a hit and we never found any enemy, we only found ourselves when this had all been sorted out. And this caused some shooting there, and there was no enemy at all involved, but we always reacted.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

One early account of UFO warfare was supposedly seen by the citizens of Nuremberg, Germany, in 1561. On a morning in April, the Nuremberg Gazette reportedly described &lt;a data-rapid-parsed=&quot;slk&quot; data-rapid_p=&quot;6&quot; data-v9y=&quot;0&quot; data-ylk=&quot;subsec:paragraph;cpos:18;elm:context_link;itc:0&quot; href=&quot;http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case486.htm&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(13, 190, 152) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: black; text-decoration-line: none;&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;an aerial battle&lt;/a&gt; between large “cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about... All these elements started to fight one against the other.” An artist, Hans Glaser, created a woodcut of the spectacle, seen below:&lt;/div&gt;

During World War II, also in Germany, Allied aircraft pilots often reported mysterious glowing, fast-moving, circular lights, which were dubbed Foo Fighters. &lt;a data-rapid-parsed=&quot;slk&quot; data-rapid_p=&quot;7&quot; data-v9y=&quot;0&quot; data-ylk=&quot;subsec:paragraph;cpos:20;elm:context_link;itc:0&quot; href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/1996/09/12/garden/alien-beings-abduct-pop-culture.html&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(13, 190, 152) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: black; text-decoration-line: none;&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;The New York Times&lt;/a&gt; reported it as “military slang for flying saucers.”&lt;/div&gt;

Filer — who documents his sightings and other UFO news at the &lt;a data-rapid-parsed=&quot;slk&quot; data-rapid_p=&quot;8&quot; data-v9y=&quot;0&quot; data-ylk=&quot;subsec:paragraph;cpos:21;elm:context_link;itc:0&quot; href=&quot;http://nationalufocenter.com/category/filers-files/&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(13, 190, 152) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: black; text-decoration-line: none;&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;National UFO Center site&lt;/a&gt; — was one of several military eyewitnesses to something extraordinary in the sky over England. It was 1962, and he was the navigator on a refueling tanker.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

“We were out over the North Sea when London Control called and asked if we would be willing to intercept an unidentified that was over Oxford and the Stonehenge area. We had just finished up our refueling mission, so we said sure, and they cleared all the traffic around us and gave us top priority as we descended towards the UFO. All they really had was a very large radar return, but it was much bigger than a normal aircraft.”&lt;/div&gt;

Filer (pictured at right) recalled how his radar scope indicated the UFO was as big as the huge Firth of Forth Bridge in Scotland that he and his crew often used as a regular navigation point.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

“The ‘thing’ was at 1,000 feet and we were descending from 32,000 feet. We picked up this huge radar return while we were still about 30 miles out. It was dark out and when we got much closer to the object, we saw lights around it, outlining the shape of a cylinder, like a cruise ship. It then just quickly rose and went up into space. &lt;/div&gt;

Filer also told HuffPost that he has heard from air traffic controllers who claimed they were told to “always divert aircraft away from UFOs and deny that it existed. I think they want this whole situation to go away, and I think [the policy] is coming from the National Security Council — they’re at the highest level. It sounds funny, but presidents don’t always know what their National Security Council is doing.”&lt;/div&gt;

One of those (hold onto your hats) is a man who claims he was in the Marines (wait for it...) and that he was stationed on Mars for several years. That’s right: the red planet Mars. He’ll describe being part of an off-planet military force. Let’s not pass judgment...yet.&lt;/div&gt;

In case you were wondering, Hangar 1 is an actual hangar where MUFON, for a long time, stored all of its archives. At one point, all of the organization’s files were housed in this airport hangar somewhere in the middle of the country. The images of Hangar 1 that appear in the series are of the real hangar.&lt;/div&gt;

UFOS—our U.S. Navy pilots just keep seeing them! There was one instance in 2004, first written about in 2017, which made news briefly and then dropped off everyone’s collective radar, and now a New York Times report says that there was another interception in 2014-2015. Here’s what we know about the mystery aircraft.&lt;/div&gt;

The encounters with the utterly unidentified flying objects left highly trained and skilled sailors manning radars and flying some of the world’s most sophisticated fighter jets as at a loss as anyone else in describing what they had seen.&lt;/div&gt;

Over the past two years, the articles have built up a picture of the UFOs sighted in the encounters. Lets assume, for a minute, that we are talking about real aircraft. Here’s what we can deduce from what’s public.&lt;/div&gt;

Lt. Ryan Graves, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot, says the objects he saw in 2014-15 that looked like a “sphere encasing a cube.” Commander David Fravor, in his 2004 sighting, said that the object he observed was “around 40 feet long and oval in shape.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
These could be the same craft viewed from different perspectives.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
In addition to the aerial craft, Fravor reportedly saw a third, larger craft:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left: 5px solid rgb(62, 121, 177); border-radius: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #595959; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin: 2rem auto; max-width: 636px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.125rem;&quot;&gt;

Commander Fravor looked down to the sea. It was calm that day, but the waves were breaking over something that was just below the surface. Whatever it was, it was big enough to cause the sea to churn.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
In other reports Fravor says the object was the “size of a Boeing 737,”a commercial jetliner 100 feet long with a 93-foot-long wingspan”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left: 5px solid rgb(62, 121, 177); border-radius: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #595959; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin: 2rem auto; max-width: 636px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.125rem;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; word-break: break-word;&quot;&gt;
Hovering 50 feet above the churn was an aircraft of some kind — whitish — that was around 40 feet long and oval in shape. The craft was jumping around erratically, staying over the wave disturbance but not moving in any specific direction, Commander Fravor said. The disturbance looked like frothy waves and foam, as if the water were boiling.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The smaller UFO rose up to meet Fravor, and the Navy pilot diverted his attention to the ascending craft—possibly what the object intended. Fravor does not report seeing the larger underwater object again.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: black; font-family: proximanovacond, sans-serif; font-size: 1.75rem; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px auto 1rem; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;Whoever Is Controlling These Things Just Might Have Access to Navy Communications. And Speaks English.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
One last detail, a “tell” on the part of the UFOs, is in Fravor’s story. Fravor reports that an operations officer on the USS&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;&quot;&gt;Princeton&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;directed him to fly to a Combat Air Patrol, or cap, point 60 miles away. Within moments, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;&quot;&gt;Princeton&lt;/em&gt;reported to Fravor that the UFOs were at his cap point. What are the odds that the craft would pick the cap point, of all places, as a destination?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
But on the other hand, why would the objects want to be around a U.S. Navy fighter jet?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: black; font-family: proximanovacond, sans-serif; font-size: 1.562rem; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px auto 1rem; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The Objects Do Not Use Conventional Forms Of Propulsion&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The flying UFO in 2004 would appear at 80,000 feet, suddenly drop to 20,000 feet and hover, and repeatedly shoot straight up and down over and over again,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fighterpilotpodcast.com/episodes/035-ufos/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(153, 187, 219) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.1s ease-out 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;according to Fravor&lt;/a&gt;. Fravor also reported the craft was “jumping around erratically.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Technologies known to the public do not currently enable such maneuvers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The craft sighted in 2014-2015 also reportedly performed aerial acrobatics that known aircraft are unable to perform—and that would turn a human pilot into a red goo due to the tremendous g-forces involved. The craft moved at “hypersonic” speeds—hypersonic defined as being at speeds of Mach 5 (3,836 miles an hour) or greater. Graves in particular says the objects were observed flying energy-intensive maneuvers for 12 hours a day when they should have only been able to fly for an hour.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: black; font-family: proximanovacond, sans-serif; font-size: 1.562rem; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px auto 1rem; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
They Are Difficult But Not Impossible To Detect&lt;/h3&gt;

In his 2004 encounter, Cdr Fravor was unable to pick up the objects on the radar of his F/A-18 Super Hornet. Lieutenant Graves, on the other hand, was able to pick up the objects on the radar of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;&quot;&gt;his&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;Super Hornet. What accounts for the discrepancy? Fravor’s early production Super Hornet was equipped with an older radar, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.radartutorial.eu/19.kartei/08.airborne/karte013.en.html&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(153, 187, 219) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.1s ease-out 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;AN/APG-73&lt;/a&gt;. The AN/APG-73 is an X-band, multi-mode radar used by Super Hornet pilots in air-to-air and air-to-ground roles.&lt;/div&gt;

Ten years later, Graves and the pilots of Strike Fighter Squadron 11 (VFA-11) reported a different experience:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left: 5px solid rgb(62, 121, 177); border-radius: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #595959; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin: 2rem auto; max-width: 636px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.125rem;&quot;&gt;

The pilots began noticing the objects after their 1980s-era radar was upgraded to a more advanced system. As one fighter jet after another got the new radar, pilots began picking up the objects, but ignoring what they thought were false radar tracks.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The radar upgrade in question was the installation of the new&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.radartutorial.eu/19.kartei/08.airborne/karte014.en.html&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(153, 187, 219) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.1s ease-out 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;APG-79 active electronically scanned array radar&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to replace Fravor’s AN/APG-73 in older Super Hornets, a fleet-wide upgrade that began in the early 2010s. Both radar systems operate in the X-band, but the APG-79 has increased sensitivity and greater processing power than the older radar.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The craft were also noted by sea-based radars. It was the USS&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;&quot;&gt;Princeton&lt;/em&gt;, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;&quot;&gt;Ticonderoga&lt;/em&gt;-class guided missile cruiser, that first alerted Fravor to the presence of the UFOs in 2004. Designed to detect, track, and intercept aerial threats at long range, Princeton is equipped with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.radartutorial.eu/19.kartei/07.naval/karte003.en.html&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(153, 187, 219) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.1s ease-out 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;SPY-1 radar system&lt;/a&gt;. The SPY-1 operates in the E/F bands and, having access to greater amounts of electrical power, can generally detect objects at longer ranges than aircraft radars.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The odd thing about the radar sightings is that they happened at all. If these craft did belong to some arm of the U.S. government and had a military purpose one would assume that they would be stealthy. Perhaps they were stealthy to some extent but recent advances in radar technology have caught up with them.&lt;/div&gt;

The objects are detectable in infrared, though they don’t particularly stand out. Lieutenant Danny Accoin, another VFA-11 pilot who had encounters during the 2014-2015 timeframe, reports that the heat seeker on a training missile and the infrared camera on his aircraft picked up the UFO. In a third incident&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://coi.tothestarsacademy.com/gimbal/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(153, 187, 219) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.1s ease-out 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;published by the UFO investigative group To The Stars...Academy of Arts and Science&lt;/a&gt;, craft sighted by Navy jets were visible to the Super Hornet’s Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pod.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
In the 2014-2015 incidents Graves reports that the aircraft did not have any exhaust plumes detected on infrared sensors,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;which is definitely unlike anything we currently know.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All conventional aircraft using internal combustion engines produce copious amounts of heat that not only warm certain parts of the aircraft—such as the exhaust nozzles but also the air trailing the aircraft.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;Stealth aircraft, like the B-2 Spirit bomber, often have ways of minimizing the heat signature from the engines, but not eliminating it entirely.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The UFOs did nothing of the sort, meaning they either use an alternate means of propulsion that does not generate heat, or it uses extensive means to cool their exhaust before it exits the rear of the plane.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Finally, the objects can be difficult to pick up by the naked eye. Fravor seems to have had no problem seeing them in 2004, but Lt. Accoin reported that his helmet camera, likely part of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/systems/jhmcs.htm&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(153, 187, 219) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.1s ease-out 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System&lt;/a&gt;, was unable to see the craft. We don’t know if Fravor had JHMCS, a helmet designed to make targeting adversaries easier, but if he did not, perhaps there was something about the system that prevented—for one reason or another—detection.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: black; font-family: proximanovacond, sans-serif; font-size: 1.562rem; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px auto 1rem; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Both Sightings Took Place Near the Continental United States&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
LCdr Graves notes that the craft were sighted by pilots while the USS&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;&quot;&gt;Theodore Roosevelt&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;was operating off the eastern seaboard of the U.S., but tapered off once the ship left on an operational patrol. In Fravor’s case, the UFOs were sighted over the Pacific Ocean, approximately 100 miles off the coast of San Diego. As far as we know, these are the only locations Navy pilots have sighted the strange craft, and together those two sets of sightings make an America sandwich.&lt;/div&gt;

Whoever Controls the UFOs Has Several of Them&lt;/h2&gt;

During the video embedded in the New York Times article, two Super Hornet aircrew—implying the video was taken by a two seat F/A-18F Super Hornet—says “there’s a whole fleet of them,” and encourages his co-pilot to “look at the ASA.” That seems to be a reference to the APG-79 radar’s “search while track” feature, which&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=2498&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;box-shadow: rgb(153, 187, 219) 0px -2px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.1s ease-out 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the Navy says&lt;/a&gt;, “significantly improves track quality of multiple targets with little or no degradation of the search capability of the radar.” How many of the objects were flying at the time is unknown.&lt;/div&gt;

But We Still Can’t Definitively Say Who They Belong To&lt;/h3&gt;

Thanks to the United States Navy, we know a few things about these craft. But here is where we run into the brick wall facing all UFO investigations: without knowing who is piloting the craft, why they are piloting the craft, and what their intentions are, we have no idea what any of this means. Are they aliens? Are they an arm of the U.S. government? We can only speculate and wait for new sightings that could introduce more information.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: elizabethserif, georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 29px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 636px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Like blind men studying the different parts of an elephant reporting three different animals based on what they feel, a lack of information could lead us to a completely wrong conclusion. Whoever is in control of these objects is in control of the experience, and we won’t learn anything new until they choose to reveal it. Is this party—whoever it is—sophisticated enough to build such super-craft and yet incompetent enough to bumble their way through Navy training exercises filled with trained observers and some of the most sophisticated sensors in the world?&lt;/div&gt;

Why are so many UFOs being reported near nuclear facilities—and why isn’t there more urgency on the part of the government to assess their potential national-security threat?&lt;/div&gt;

Those are questions being asked by a team of high-ranking former U.S. defense and intelligence officials, aerospace-industry veterans, academics and others associated with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://dpo.tothestarsacademy.com/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;To the Stars Academy of Arts &amp;amp; Science&lt;/a&gt;. The team has been investigating a wide range of these sightings—and advocating more serious government attention.&lt;/div&gt;

Their investigations are the subject of HISTORY’s limited series “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/shows/unidentified-inside-americas-ufo-investigation&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;Unidentified&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;

Throughout history, unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs) have shocked, frightened and fascinated sky watchers. And in the last century, more than a few have been reported in military contexts. In late World War II, U.S. airmen called them “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/news/wwii-ufos-allied-airmen-orange-lights-foo-fighters&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;foo fighters&lt;/a&gt;”: strange orange flying lights by the French-German border. During the Korean War, some soldiers claimed a blue-green light emitting “pulsing rays”&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/news/korean-war-us-army-ufo-attack-illness&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;made their whole battalion sick&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with what, to some, resembled radiation poisoning.&lt;/div&gt;

Less known: In the last 75 years, high-ranking U.S. military and intelligence personnel have also reported UAPs near sites associated with nuclear power, weaponry and technology—from the early atomic-bomb development and test sites to active nuclear naval fleets.&lt;/div&gt;

“All of the nuclear facilities—Los Alamos, Livermore, Sandia, Savannah River—all had dramatic incidents where these unknown craft appeared over the facilities and nobody knew where they were from or what they were doing there,” says investigative journalist George Knapp, who has studied the UAP-nuclear connection for more than 30 years. Knapp has gathered documentation by filing Freedom of Information Act requests to the departments of defense and energy.&lt;/div&gt;

“There seems to be a lot of correlation there,” says Lue Elizondo, who from 2007 to 2012 served as director of a covert team of UAP researchers operating inside the Department of Defense. The program, called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP),&amp;nbsp;received $22 million of the Pentagon’s $600 billion budget in 2012,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;The New York Times&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;reported. Elizondo now helps lead To the Stars’ investigations.&lt;/div&gt;

Nuclear-adjacent sightings go back decades, says Robert Hastings, a UFO researcher and author of the book&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites&lt;/em&gt;. Hastings says he’s interviewed more than 160 veterans who have witnessed strange things in the skies around nuclear sites.&lt;/div&gt;

“You have objects being tracked on radar performing at speeds that no object on earth can perform,” Hastings says. “You have eyewitness [military] personnel. You have jet pilots.” Witnesses to these incidents are often highly trained personnel with top security clearances. In recent years, their reports are being corroborated by sophisticated technology.&lt;/div&gt;

In the 1960s and ’70s, repeated UFO sightings emerged at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, a storage site for nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). At one such alleged sighting in 1967, former Air Force Capt. Robert Salas says several of those missiles became inoperative at the same time base security reported seeing a glowing red object, about 30 feet in diameter, hovering over the facility. Salas, who commanded ICBMs as a launch officer and later worked in the aerospace industry and at the Federal Aviation Administration,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/27/ufos-showed-interest-in-nukes-ex-air-force-personnel-say/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;told CNN&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;the “missiles began going into what&#39;s called a ‘no-go condition,’ or unlaunchable.”&lt;/div&gt;

Observers can only speculate about the origin of these unexplained phenomena. But the repeated proximity to sensitive defense sites connected to our nation’s most powerful weapons has raised the question of whether they might originate from adversaries—known or unknown.&lt;/div&gt;

In late December 1980, air-traffic controllers encountered something alarming near Royal Air Force Bentwaters in England. Used by the U.S. Air Force as a European foothold during the Cold War, Bentwaters housed a secret stash of nuclear weapons in 25 fortified underground bunkers.&lt;/div&gt;

“We looked up on the radar scope and saw something…not like anything I’d seen before,” Ivan Barker, a U.S. Air Force air-traffic controller working that night, told HISTORY.com.&lt;/div&gt;

Barker, a master sergeant who was second in charge at the facility, says he was an 18-year veteran at that point and knew “about every aircraft in the U.S.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/formation-of-nato-and-warsaw-pact&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;NATO&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.history.com/topics/russia/history-of-the-soviet-union&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot;&gt;Soviet&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;bloc.” This object, he says, shocked him and his two colleagues that night with its remarkable speed and maneuverability. On radar, it covered 120 miles in a matter of seconds, he said: “It had to be moving Mach 5, 6, 7 or 8—faster than anything other than possibly a missile.”&lt;/div&gt;

As he looked up from the radar to view it directly, the craft moved into close range, slowed and then stopped over the base’s water tower: “Like a helicopter hovering, except with a helicopter you get movement up and down. This was stationary. It was between about 1,500 and 2,000 feet high. The thing was…at least a city block…in diameter.”&lt;/div&gt;

Barker says it was shaped like a giant basketball, with portholes around the center, from which lights were emanating outward. “I was shocked… There was nothing aerodynamic about it. Basketballs don’t fly.”&lt;/div&gt;

It stopped over the water tower for only a few seconds, he said, before reversing course and speeding back the way it came in: “It was like—swish!—it’s gone.”&lt;/div&gt;

Barker didn’t report the sighting to his superiors. “You don’t understand what the Air Force did to people who reported UFOs,” he says.&lt;/div&gt;

Barker’s story dovetails with that of Col.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1107800169234262&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Charles Halt&lt;/a&gt;, Bentwaters’ deputy commander at the time. Halt led a patrol that night to investigate strange colorful lights seen descending into nearby Rendlesham Forest. Halt described to Elizondo what he saw from inside the forest: a red light moving horizontally though the trees, &quot;obviously under some kind of intelligent control.” A laser-like beam, he said, “landed 10-15 feet away from us. I was literally in shock.”&lt;/div&gt;

Then the beam’s source quickly left, flying north toward the base, says Halt, who&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charleshalt.com/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e80c30; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.25s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;audiotaped&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;the incident at the time. “We could hear chatter on the radios that the beams went down into the weapons storage area.”&lt;/div&gt;

Later, his commander played the audio for a general, who dismissed the need for further investigation. They were loath to get involved, says Halt.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The incident unfolded as the Nimitz carrier group was conducting training exercises off the coast of southern California and Mexico ahead of a deployment to the Arabian Sea.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Beginning around November 10, the USS Princeton, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, made multiple radar contacts with what the report calls an Anomalous Aerial Vehicle (AAV).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The senior chief fire controlman on the Princeton, which was equipped with ultra-advanced AN/SPY-1 multifunctional phased-array radar, reported that the AAV appeared from above 60,000 feet - the radar&#39;s scan ceiling - and descended &quot;very rapidly&quot; to about 50 feet above the surface of the ocean.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
They would hover for a short time and then depart at high velocities and turn rates demonstrating advanced capabilities, the senior chief said.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The senior chief, who had 17 years of experience in fire control on cruisers, said he never obtained an accurate track on the AAV, because they exhibited speed consistent with a ballistic missile, but the radar was set to air intercept mode rather than ballistic missile tracking mode.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Then on November 14, the Princeton again detected an AAV around 11am and called it in two F/A-18 Hornets that happened to be returning to the USS Nimitz from a training exercise.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
An E-2C Hawkeye surveillance plane was also operating in the area and attempted a radar contact on the AAV, but made only intermittent contact as was unable to gain a track.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The skies were clear and blue with unlimited visibility that day, and the sea was calm, according to the report.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;border-bottom-airy&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The first fighter jet to investigate, a USMC single-seat F/A-18C, flew within five to 10 nautical miles of the AAV&#39;s location, but could not see it. Instead, he reported seeing a circular disturbance in the water about 50 to 100 meters in diameter. It reminded the pilot of something rapidly submerging in the ocean, like a submarine.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The report hypothesizes that &#39;it is possible that the disturbance was being caused by an AAV but that the AAV was &quot;cloaked&quot; or invisible to the human eye.&#39;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The Marine pilot was called off after the controller asked a plane carrying ordnance to respond, which he was not. When he returned to the USS Nimitz, his intelligence officer asked him if he&#39;d seen the &#39;supersonic Tic Tac&#39;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The next jet to respond was a Navy F/A-18F piloted by Cmdr. David Fravor and Lt. Cmdr. Jim Slaight, who made visual contact with the AAV that they have since publicly discussed, corroborating the report.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Fravor also spotted a disturbance in the water, almost as if it were boiling. But this time, hovering above the disturbance was a strange object.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The object was shaped like an elongated egg or a &quot;Tic Tac&quot;, according to Fravor, and was &quot;holding like a Harrier&quot;, the jump jet that can take off vertically.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;element element-image &quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; padding: 10px 0px; position: relative; width: 620px;&quot;&gt;

Photo / Getty Images&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Slaight, whose name is redacted from the report, described it as &quot;solid white, smooth, with no edges. It was uniformly colored with no nacelles, pylons or wings&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
He described the exterior of the object as &quot;like it had a white candy-coated shell, almost like a white board&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
When Fravor attempted to make a close pass of the object to attempt visual recognition, the object appeared to react, realigning its axis to point at the approaching plane. The AAV then ascended quickly and departed at supersonic speed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
When Fravor and Slaight returned to the Nimitz, the sailors in the intelligence center donned tin-foil hats to greet them, asking eagerly about their &#39;UFO flight&#39;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Later in the day, another plane made the video that has since been released, according to the report.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Around 3pm, another Navy F/A-18F tracked a remarkable object on FLIR, which Fravor&#39;s plane had not been equipped with.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The pilot said he couldn&#39;t confirm whether he had tracked the same object seen by Fravor and Slaight, because he never made visual contact, only tracked it through FLIR.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The report notes that the USS Louisville nuclear fast-attack submarine was operating in the area, and detected no unusual undersea activity over the duration of the incidents.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The incident was filed in a regular training mission report and it is unclear if it was reported up the chain of command, the report finds.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
The aircrews involved made and kept a copy of the FLIR recording, but were subjected to a &quot;high level of ridicule&quot; over the incident, the report found.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Whatever the AAV was, the report stresses that it was &#39;no known aircraft or air vehicle currently in the inventory of the United States or any foreign nation.&#39;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Former Senator Reid, now recovering following cancer surgery, and others have urged Congress to create a new Pentagon programme to study similar incidents as a matter of national security.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
Another highly classified version of the leaked report was also written, but it is unlikely to ever be released.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
Before I go any further, the following does not come from a conspiracy Web site. It&#39;s from an article last October in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-ga-track=&quot;ExternalLink:http://www.combataircraft.net/&quot; href=&quot;http://www.combataircraft.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #003891; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Combat Aircraft Monthly&lt;/a&gt;, a military aviation magazine that features some well-respected writers. The article on Iranian F-14 Tomcat fighters by Babak Taghvaee, who has written extensively on the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-ga-track=&quot;ExternalLink:http://www.amazon.com/IRIAF-2010-Modern-Iranian-Force/dp/0982553935&quot; href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/IRIAF-2010-Modern-Iranian-Force/dp/0982553935&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #003891; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Iranian Air Force&lt;/a&gt;, also recounts how Iran attempted to intercept what it believed to be U.S. spy drones overflying its nuclear facilities.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
What&#39;s interesting in Taghvaee&#39;s piece is how Iran describes the intruders, which the Iranians called &quot;luminous objects&quot; in the belief that they were emitting light to enable night photography:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.6rem 0px; padding-left: 1.75em; position: relative;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
According to Iranian sources, the CIA’s intelligence drones displayed astonishing flight characteristics, including an ability to fly outside the atmosphere, attain a maximum cruise speed of Mach 10, and a minimum speed of zero, with the ability to hover over the target. Finally, these drones used powerful ECM that could jam enemy radars using very high levels of magnetic energy, disrupting navigation systems.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
In one intercept over the Arak nuclear facility in November 2004, an Iranian F-14 Tomcat tried to lock its radar on to a luminous object, only to have the radar beam disrupted. &quot;The pilot described the object as being spherical, with something like a green afterburner creating a considerable amount of turbulence behind it,&quot; according to the article. The intruder then increased its speed and &quot;disappeared like a meteor.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
The tale took a deadly turn in January 2012, when an F-14 was scrambled to intercept an intruder flying towards the Bushehr nuclear power plant. Seconds after take-off, the F-14 exploded, killing both crewmen. No cause for the tragedy was determined.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
This is not the first time that Iranian fighters tangled with alleged UFOs: In 1976, during the reign of the Shah before the fundamentalists took over,&lt;a data-ga-track=&quot;ExternalLink:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Tehran_UFO_incident&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Tehran_UFO_incident&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #003891; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Iranian F-4 Phantoms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;unsuccessfully attempted to intercept fast, bright objects, only to have some unknown force knock out their instruments. Yet note that nowhere in Taghvaee&#39;s article do Iranian authorities describe the luminous objects in 2004 and 2012 as UFOs (indeed, the only time the word &quot;UFO&quot; is used at all is in a single sub-headline). It is possible that jamming could have disrupted the dated 1970s radar of Iran&#39;s F-14s in the 2004 incident, while an aging aircraft kept flying by parts smuggled past a Western embargo may have exploded in 2012 for reasons other than extraterrestrial action.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
In that case, the question becomes, what kind of aircraft flies at Mach 10? That&#39;s 10 times the speed of sound, or 7,612 miles per hour (the legendary SR-71 Blackbird spy aircraft flew at around Mach 3, or 2,283 miles per hour). An obvious candidate is a hypersonic aircraft like NASA&#39;s experimental&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-ga-track=&quot;ExternalLink:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_X-43&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_X-43&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #003891; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;X-43&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; hypersonic aircraft, which flew at Mach 9.68 in 2004. That program was terminated, and briefly resurrected as the Air Force&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-ga-track=&quot;ExternalLink:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-51&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-51&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #003891; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;X-51&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Waverider, which flew at Mach 5 for nearly four minutes last May before plunging into the Pacific.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
But these projects are more like experimental missiles that one day might become manned or unmanned aircraft. If the &quot;luminous objects&quot; described by Iran really did fly at Mach 10, jam radars and zoom away from jet interceptors, then this suggests a hypersonic aircraft mature and reliable enough to be trusted with sensitive reconnaissance missions. Perhaps the semi-mythical&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-ga-track=&quot;ExternalLink:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_%28aircraft%29&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_%28aircraft%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #003891; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Aurora&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
Without a lot more evidence, such as a crashed spacecraft of an alien pilot, I am not inclined to believe that UFOs felt a need to peek at Iran&#39;s nuclear sites. It&#39;s more likely that the Iranian military - perhaps through an honest mistake - exaggerated the performance of the intruders. But if they didn&#39;t, and the U.S. was able to deploy Mach 10 reconnaissance aircraft a decade ago, then here&#39;s the biggest mystery:&amp;nbsp; Why is America spending a trillion dollars to develop a troubled F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that can&#39;t even fly Mach 2?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px;&quot;&gt;
Maybe the aliens could explain that one.&lt;/div&gt;

Vertaling uit het Engels door mij.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;De onthulling is er al. Dat is geen plots iets, dat is een proces,&quot; zei LUIS ELIZONDO, vorig hoofd van de tot dan toe onbekende overheidsinstelling met de naam AATIP, &quot;Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program&quot;. &quot;Het is mijn persoonlijke overtuiging dat er heel dwingend bewijs bestaat dat wij niet alleen zijn.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aan de Noordelijke rand van Las Vegas, waar de stad aan de woestijn grenst, bevindt zich een grote loods van 50 hectare (50 acre) waarin het bedrijf BIGELOW AEROSPACE gehuisvest is. Dit bedrijf plant om zijn eigen ruimtestations te lanceren en verkopen en zelfs een ruimtehotel en een maanbasis te bouwen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De perimeter is met prikkeldraad beveiligd en met betonnen omheining, en het enige personeel dat je daar ziet van buitenaf zijn bewapende beveiligingsagenten. Wat ze daar bewaken zou naar verluid de overblijfselen zijn van een neergestort buitenaards object, van een UFO dus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bewoners van de nabije buurt zeggen dat de beveiliging verscherpt is sinds vorig jaar toen er in de New York Times en de Washington Post een artikel verscheen dat het bedrijf betaald werd door het Pentagon om onderdelen te bewaren van een neergestort &quot;ongeïdentificeerd luchtfenomeen&quot;&amp;nbsp; -militair vakjargon - meerbepaald exotisch metaal waarvan men zegt dat het&amp;nbsp; legeringen betreft die de wetenschappelijke kennis te boven gaan en die fysieke effecten heeft op wie er mee in contact komt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maar tot nu is er geen terugkoppeling geweest naar dit bericht van de Pentagon UFO intrige. Bij verder onderzoek naar de zaak werd men zowel bij het Pentagon als bij&amp;nbsp; Bigelow Aerospace met een kluitje in het riet gestuurd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het vreemde verhaal van de gerecupereede UFO&#39;s begon met het plotse ontslag in de herfst van een oudere Pentagon-beambte, zo schrijft Nick Rufford in The Times of London. LUIS ELIZONDO die leiding gaf aan de AATIP, een team van 12 mensen, op de vijfde verdieping van het Pentagon in de zogenoemde c-ring, besloot actie te ondernemen.&lt;br /&gt;
In een brief aan Jim Mattis, de secretaris van Defensie in de VS, kloeg Elizondo dat de regering de ervaringen met UFO&#39;s van Amerikaanse piloten in oorlogszones niet ernstig genoeg nam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Waarom hangen we niet meer tijd en geld aan dit onderzoek?&amp;nbsp; Er is een vitale noodzaak om de bedoelingen en de vermogendheid van deze fenomenen te achterhalen voor het welzijn van het leger en de natie&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
De gelekte brief van Elizondo openbaarde het bestaan van de geheime UFO-onderzoeksafdeling van de regering, waar de top van het Pentagon razend over was. Het Pentagon gaf wel toe dat de afdeling bestond, maar sprak niet over UFO&#39;s, het was om op lange termijn vreemde geavanceerde bedreigingen voor de US vanuit de ruimte te onderzoeken. Er werd verklaard dat de afdeling in 2012 was opgeheven om plaats te maken voor dringender zaken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daarna bleef Elizondo stil. Maar toen The Sunday Times een interview met hem deed, zei hij dat die afdeling nooit opgeboekt was en dat die verder UFO waarnemingen bleven onderzoeken tot recent in oktober toen hij daar wegging. Citaat van Elizondo : &quot;De onthulling is er al. Dat is geen plots iets, dat is een proces.&quot; .&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Wat belangrijk is om weten is dat de intitiële geldstroom van het Congress in 2012 gestopt is,&quot; vertelde hij Rufford. &quot;Maar er kwam een andere financiering op gang in 2013. In het Ministerie van Defensie heeft men daar een oud gezegde voor: een goede soldaat bewaakt zijn post tot hij van zijn taak ontslagen wordt. Wel, wij werden nooit ontslagen, tenminste nooit formeel. Ik ben blijven rapporten sturen over UFO-waarnemingen naar mijn oversten tot de week dat ik ontslag nam.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elizondo was dus de officiële directeur voor het&amp;nbsp; nationale programma, en legt uit dat zijn rol eruit bestond bestanden bij te houden van alle ongeïdentificeerde luchtverschijnselen, meerbepaald alles wat in het luchtruim gezien werd door militaire luchtbemanningen en wat niet identificeerbaar was. Volgens Elizondo hield dat in, radarbeeldmateriaal, of beelden van lock-on camera&#39;s van vliegende projectielen die niet leken op wat voor bekend vliegend tuig dan ook, van onszelf of van de vijand&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De meeste waarnemingen konden wel verklaard worden, zei hij, maar sommige niet. &quot;Soms konden we vrij snel uitsluiten dat het om iets buitenaards ging, maar er zijn absoluut gevallen waarbij we niet konden zeggen dat het een vliegtuig was, of een drone, of een raket, omdat de parameters van de vluchtgegevens zo onvoorstelbaar waren dat het je verstand te boven ging. &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eigenlijk zette Elizondo zijn normale taak verder want al sinds 1940 was hij in het leger bezig met onverklaarde luchtwaarnemingen bij te houden. Wat AATIP echter bijzonder maakte was dat er een privé-onderneming ingeschakeld was om het top-secret werk te ondersteunen. Gedurende 4 jaren, van 2007 tot 2011, kreeg BIGELOW AEROSPACE 22 dollar per minuut van het Ministerie van Defensie. De oprichter hiervan is rijke ondernemer Robert Bigelow, in de zeventig en een zelfverklaard ufoloog.&lt;br /&gt;
Het Pentagon wil niet zeggen waaraan dat bedrag besteed werd, en Elizondo zwijgt ook uit eer voor zijn beroepsgeheim. Maar volgens de New York Times : &quot;Onder de leiding van Bigelow werd het bestaande gebouw in Las Vegas aangepast voor het opslaan van metaallegeringen en ander materiaal van UFO&#39;s dat Elizondo en andere betrokkenen verzameld hadden. Onderzoekers kregen ook mensen te zien die zeiden dat ze fysieke effecten hadden geleden van de ontmoetingen met de UFO&#39;s en zij onderzochten dan de aanwezige fysiologische veranderingen. &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nu zegt Elizondo dat Rufford zich een beetje verkeerd uitgedrukt heeft toen hij&amp;nbsp; over &quot;legeringen&quot; schreef. In feite, zo beweert Elizondo, waren het &quot;metamaterialen&quot; : synthetische materialen met composiet-structuren die eigenschappen hebben die op aarde niet voorkomen, en die onze wetenschappers bij de analyse ervan voor raadsels deden staan. &quot;Om zulke materialen samen te stellen, met zulke extreme mate van precisie, is iets waarvan wij tot nu toe niet geloven dat we zoiets kunnen reproduceren.&quot; Bij de vraag waar die materialen precies vandaan komen, antwoordt Elizondo &quot;Dat weet ik niet&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het project verzamelde video- en audio-opnames van gerapporteerde UFO-incidenten, inbegrepen videomateriaal van een Luchtmacht F/A-18 Super Hornet waarop een UFO te zien is met een soort&amp;nbsp; lichtgevend aura eromheen, die met hoge snelheid vliegt en rond zijn as roteert. De luchtmachtpiloten kun je horen praten terwijl ze proberen te begrijpen wat ze zien. Je hoort eentje verbaasd zeggen &quot; Die zijn met een hele vloot!&quot;. De luchtmacht weigert voorlopig echter de precieze locatie en datum van dit incident mee te delen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bigelow, die eerst een fortuin verzamelde als makelaar in Nevada, richtte in 1999 Bigelow Aerospace op met het doel ruimtereizen commercieel te exploiteren. Maar hij had ook een bijkomende agenda voor zijn bedrijf : buitenaards leven zoeken. Toen hij klein was hadden zijn grootouders hem verteld over een angstaanjagende ontmoeting met een UFO op een snelweg buiten de stad, zo schrijft Rufford. &quot;Het ding versnelde enorm en kwam recht voor hun neus vliegen, het was zo groot dat de hele voorruit&amp;nbsp; gevuld was met het zicht op die UFO &quot;, zei hij . &quot;En het vertrok in een rechte hoek en schoot gewoon weg in de verte.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tegen 2007 had hij genoeg bewijs verzameld om drie leden van de Commissie van Defensie te overtuigen : Ted Stevens, een republikein uit Alaska, Daniel Inouye, een democraat uit Hawai, en Harry Reid, de toenmalige leider van de Democraten in de senaat. Die laatste toonde in het paranormale veel interesse en vond dat de regering meer inspanning moest doen voor onderzoek in dat domein. Tenslotte kon je dit rechtvaardigen door te stellen dat UFO&#39;s een potentiële bedreiging voor de nationale veiligheid vormen. Het committee stemde ermee in om geld te gebruiken van het federaal budget voor de afdeling AATIP, die opzettelijk een&amp;nbsp; dubbelzinnige naamgeving kreeg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HARRY REID heeft hierover gezegd aan de New York times : dit was de zogezegde zwart-geld-pot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hij zei dat TED STEVENS hierover gezegd had dat hij hier al op wachtte sinds hij bij de Luchtmacht kwam. Deze senator van Alaska was in zijn jonge jaren piloot van de luchtmacht geweest die boven China transporten moest doen tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog. Het was toen dat hij een buitengewoon vreemde ervaring gehad had met een UfO die aan de staart van zijn vliegtuig bleef vliegen en hem mijlenlang achtervolgd had.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Dus ik ben op geen enkele manier beschaamd over wat ik hier begin, integendeel, ik beschouw het als één van mijn beste daden sinds ik mijn post bij het congres kreeg.&quot; beweerde REID tijdens een interview in Nevada.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Ik heb eenaantal jaren geleden met John Glenn gesproken&quot;, zei Reid, verwijzend naar de astronaut en vorige senator in Ohio, die in 2016 stierf. Glenn was het eens met hem dat de federale regering serieus met UFO&#39;s moest bezig zijn, en vond dat militairen, vooral piloten dan, serieus moesten .genomen worden als zij bericht deden van onverklaarbare waarnemingen.&lt;br /&gt;
Reid zei dat hij geen idee had van de origine van de UFo&#39;s. Hij zei dat niemand dat wist. Maar dat we wel moesten proberen het uit te vinden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heel dit verhaal bleef in de doofpot, tot het moment dat Elizondo ontslag gaf. De nog steeds onopgeloste vragen : waarvoor kreeg Bigelow dat geld precies? Wat bevindt er zich nu allemaal precies in die loodsen?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Het is toch wel intrigerend nietwaar?&quot; zegt JOHN GREENEWALD, die sinds jaar en dag een scepticus is als het op de overheid aankomt, en die &quot;The Black Vault&quot; beheert, een online databank van publiek domein geworden oude documenten die aanvankelijk topgeheim waren. Hij heeft het Pentagon bestookt met vragen over AATIP, en over wat er gestockeerd is geworden van gecrashte UFo&#39;s.. &quot;Zoiets moet toch wel van buitenaardse afkomst zijn, toch? Dit is toch even groot nieuws als Roswell destijds?&quot;. zegt hij opgewonden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Volgens de website Abovetopsecret.com zou Bigelow in 2008 een zakelijk voorstel gedaan hebben aan MUFON, hij wilde deze beroemde organisatie van&amp;nbsp; ufologen zijn database van waarnemingen verkopen, inclusief bewijsmateriaal , waaronder mogelijk buitenaardse artifacts. Het prijskaartje was 672 000 dollar; Hiervan zou MUFON al een bedrag betaald hebben van 334 000 dollar in november 2009. Alles duidt erop dat Bigelow in 2008 objecten in bezit gekregen heeft die hem overtuigd hebben van buitenaards bezoek. Hj heeft hiervan ook getuigd in een interview:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Er was en is nog steeds een aanwezigheid van buitenaardse wezen op onze planeet&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
We weten niet of Bigelow nog altijd materiaal van buitenaardse oorsprong in bezit heeft, maar we weten wel dat zijn bedrijf in 2010 uitgebreid is met een strengbewaakte afdeling, voor onbekende redenen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nick Rufford besluit zijn artikel met de redenering dat doofpotoperaties nooit het eeuwige leven beschoren zijn, hij gelooft dat de waarheid al zou uitgekomen zijn....als het waar was.&lt;br /&gt;
Maar ELizondo en Bigelow blijken iets anders te geloven. Het blijft voor ons een mysterie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk7b3_Wsc65Cr5xYe3gA7RIIraWTwyDT7hf9vs8N16auEoYVxBa04QR_ZzB8gqLUQmx5VhNpzqXpSTaDGoVYE89qod3APlfgOK1tHERpWnxYAeyjoaBTlWBatOxL8XElST4SehQStZwOWm/s1600/Howard+et+Connie+Menger.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;256&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk7b3_Wsc65Cr5xYe3gA7RIIraWTwyDT7hf9vs8N16auEoYVxBa04QR_ZzB8gqLUQmx5VhNpzqXpSTaDGoVYE89qod3APlfgOK1tHERpWnxYAeyjoaBTlWBatOxL8XElST4SehQStZwOWm/s320/Howard+et+Connie+Menger.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connie&amp;nbsp;Menger, echtgenote van de in 2009 overleden Howard Menger,&amp;nbsp;is erg kwaad op sceptici die zeggen dat zij en haar man het buitenaardse verhaal uit hun duim zogen en&amp;nbsp;hun boek &quot;The High Bridge Incident&quot;&amp;nbsp;schreven om geld te kunnen verdienen. Ze zegt dat zij en haar man Howard grote verliezen geleden hebben door alles naar buiten te brengen, ze zegt :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Wij hebben een enorm verlies geleden doordat we deze boodschap naar buiten wilden brengen. Mijn man verloor uiteindelijk zijn eerste huis en toen we gehuwd waren verloren we onze boerderij, we zijn uiteindelijk helemaal opnieuw moeten beginnen, hebben echt hard moeten werken. Dus ik word echt kwaad van die sceptici die zeggen dat wij ons boek uitbrachten omwille van het geld, wij hebben verdorie ons huis gehypothekeerd om dit boek te kunnen publiceren. Wij wilden niet dat iemand wijzigingen aan het boek aanbracht en we wilden ook niet dat onze foto&#39;s zoek zouden raken, zoals al eerder gebeurd was. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dus geld was niet onze drijfveer, liefde was onze drijfveer om zo&#39;n groot werk te verrichten dat 35-40 jaar van ons leven in beslag genomen heeft. &lt;br /&gt;
Toendertijd was ik ervan overtuigd dat mijn man het om dezelfde reden deed, hij was echt triestige materiële verliezen aan het lijden, maar iets deed hem echt doorzetten tot het eind, en ik ben echt blij dat later dan de regering contact met hem zocht en hem steunde om&amp;nbsp;sommige dingen te doen die hij moest doen, spijtig genoegd duurde dat niet lang. &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Howard Menger vertelt hoe hij zelf experimenten&amp;nbsp;begon te doen&amp;nbsp;met elektro-magnetisme (de Ufo&#39;s zijn elektrisch aangedreven en de energie die ze gebruiken is gratis aanwezig in onze atmosfeer) en toen zijn op afstand bestuurde UFO die hij zelf gemaakt had neergestort was, kreeg de regering het in handen en wist hem als maker ervan op te sporen. Aan&amp;nbsp;Howard werd toen gevraagd om mee te werken aan het ontwikkelen van geheime vliegtuigen met een nieuw voortstuwingssysteem, hetgeen hij een tijd lang deed,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;en waarover hij zijn mond moest houden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik vertaal hieronder terug de woorden van zijn vrouw, Connie Menger, terwijl ze over haar man praat :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Het gaat hier&amp;nbsp;over een mens die echt een buitengewone ervaring gehad heeft, en die uit zijn voegen barst van de kennis, en die alles wat hij geleerd heeft wil vertellen maar die dat soms niet kan.... En door de jaren heen lekt het eruit, door telkens opnieuw vragen te stellen, door de gebeurtenissen heel zorgvuldig te overlopen telkens weer, door de -wat ik zo noem- &#39;parabels&#39; terug te proberen herinneren die de niet-aardsen hem vertelden, wij probeerden er zelf achter te komen wat die betekenden, wat de kennis was, wij beseften dat wij het zelf waren die er moesten achterkomen wat het allemaal te betekenen had, .... We zouden geen handleiding&amp;nbsp;&#39;hoe met&amp;nbsp;buitenaardse kennis omgaan- in handen krijgen, we moesten het zelf uitzoeken allemaal, en toen ons dat uiteindelijk lukte, beseften we dat die kennis eigenlijk al heel de tijd in ons zelf zat, omdat wij gezaaid zijn door onze niet-aardse voorouders, dus het was er al die tijd al, het moest alleen getest worden... &lt;br /&gt;
Hetgeen &amp;nbsp;betekent dat wij geen gewoon ordinair leven meer leidden (wel we deden dat wel, om ons gezin te kunnen onderhouden), maar onze geest was altijd aan het&amp;nbsp;uittesten en altijd geneigd om weer volledig bezig te zijn met dat&amp;nbsp;opwindende&amp;nbsp; niet-aardse materiaal, en wat het allemaal te betekenen had voor de mensheid als soort op deze planeet, want er is meer over ons mensen te zeggen dan je voor mogelijk houdt!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nu ga ik Howard weer vertalen, hij heeft namelijk net een zeer&amp;nbsp;relevante vraag aan zijn aliens gesteld, zijnde:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&quot;Waarom zijn jullie hier? Gaan jullie de president ontmoeten?&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Howard vertelt dat de alien hierop antwoordde:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Neen. Het is ons bij universele wet verboden om ons te bemoeien met gelijk welke beschaving. Wij zijn jullie voorvaders en het interesseert ons om te zien hoe het met jullie gaat, dat is wat wij van tijd tot tijd komen bekijken. Het is nu 1958, wij zijn hier maar kort , maar we &amp;nbsp;komen terug in 2012. Kijk naar jullie oudste geschriften, de wetten die daarin staan dat zijn onze wetten. Ja, de 10 Geboden uit de Bijbel bijvoorbeeld, die komen van ons!&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zijn vrouw Connie legt verder uit dat de niet-aardsen vooral ook hier komen om ons te onderwijzen,&amp;nbsp; ons stap voor stap terug bekend maken met ons geboorterecht. Zij noemt dit buitenaards onderwijsproject het &quot;buitenaardse ontvankelijkheidsprogramma&#39;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik vertaal haar woorden :&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Het buitenaards ontvankelijkheidsprogramma is bedoeld om ons stapsgewijze bewust te maken van onze afkomst. Maar dit moet echt heel traag gebeuren. Je moet weten, de herinnering waar wij vandaan komen zit in ons opgesloten, in onze &quot;methology&quot; - vertaling?- , in onze oude geschriften, in onze oudste boeken,&amp;nbsp;dit is informatie&amp;nbsp;overal op de hele wereld verspreid.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Maar die kennis, waar wij vandaan komen, zijn wij dus kwijtgeraakt -&amp;nbsp;&quot;has been obliterated from most of humankind&quot; - vertaling?- en het zou best wel eens kunnen zijn, dat wij op een planeet in quarantaine leven al gedurende een ontzaglijke periode,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;die nu terug onder monitoring van zijn voorouders gekomen is, en sommige van die hersencellen die zij ons zo gracieus gegeven hebben beginnen nu te ontwikkelen, en sommigen van ons beginnen nu te beseffen dat wij tot een kosmische familie behoren. Nu, wat is ons doel... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ons doel is zoveel mogelijk mensen te informeren, en ook een wetenschappelijke achtergrond te geven voor die kennis, dat er een mogelijkheid is dat we niet alleen zijn en dat we een heel andere afstamming hebben dan van de apensoort - a very different heritage other than anthropoid&quot; - vertaling?- in werkelijkheid zijn we sterrenkinderen die een evolutionair proces ondergaan hebben, want dat is hoe de natuur werkt, de natuur past de levensvormen aan zodat de levensexpressie zich kan verderzetten in nieuwe vormen -&#39;that&#39;s natures way to seek better forms for better life expressions&#39;). Dus de niet-aardsen laten informatie&amp;nbsp;doorsijpelen&amp;nbsp;hetzij via gevallen van direct contact met een geïsoleerde persoon,&amp;nbsp;hetzij via holografische beelden om de boodschap langzaam te laten doordringen zodat onze geest&amp;nbsp;de tijd heeft om eraan te wennen. Het menselijk ras moet aangepast worden, eerst op een kleine schaal, en dan als alles&amp;nbsp;in versnelling zit op grote schaal, wereldwijd. En dat is&amp;nbsp;een hele bewustzijnsverruiming&amp;nbsp;... Dat de mensheid beseft dat ze niet alleen is, en dat die anderen echt enorm op ons lijken,&amp;nbsp;- want dat is de reden waarom ze juist die soorten naar ons sturen die zo goed op ons lijken en die gedeeltelijk&amp;nbsp; biologische zeer dicht bij ons staan omdat ze dus&amp;nbsp;familie zijn .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Er is ook nog een andere reden&amp;nbsp;waarom die bewustzijnsverruiming heel traag moet gaan : omdat een&amp;nbsp;hogere cultuur altijd een lagere zal vernietigen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;(Noot van de redactie : ik moet meteen denken aan de woorden van Stephen Hawking, die onlangs zei : Er is leven daarbuiten, oh ja, &amp;nbsp;maar het is best dat we het niet tegenkomen, want we zouden dik de sigaar zijn!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik laat Connie het verder uitleggen :&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Wij hebben al die infrastructuren, in onze industrieën, in onze regeringen, in onze religies, die zich enorm hevig zouden verzetten tegen dit concept, ....tegen andere intelligenties die hier binnenkomen..., logisch want tenslotte zijn het deze instituten allemaal die de controle hebben over onze planeet en de controle over onze rijkdommen. Zij willen niet met zoiets in contact moeten komen op een vijandig niveau. ... Dus daarom moet het allemaal heel traag verlopen en is het eerst het psychologische niveau dat moet aangepakt worden. &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Snap je het nu waarom ze niet landen voor het Witte Huis? Want dat is toch altijd één van de eerste vragen die een UFO-skepticus stelt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik wil hier ook nog&amp;nbsp;enige woorden van Howard zelf plaatsen&amp;nbsp;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Eén van de hoofredenen waarom dit contact met buitenaardsen&amp;nbsp;plaatsheeft, is spiritueel : om ons spiritueel meer te ontwikkelen. Het is namelijk zo dat onze technologische ontwikkeling een hoge vlucht genomen heeft, maar onze spirituele ontwikkeling is achtergebleven. Die onbalans is zeer gevaarlijk. &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En ik wil dit artikel afsluiten met de heel wijze woorden van een vriend van Howard, die de boodschap van&amp;nbsp;Howards&#39; aliens zo samenvat:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Wij moeten meer respect krijgen,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;meer respect voor het leven,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;meer respect&amp;nbsp;vooral&amp;nbsp;voor onze planeet,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;op een intelligentere manier met elkaar leren omgaan,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;meer zorg leren dragen, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;meer verantwoordelijkheid pakken voor alles wat we doen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;En als we dat niveau bereikt hebben, dan pas zullen wij -als&amp;nbsp;mensheid -ontvankelijk zijn voor contacten met onze ruimtebroeders, niet eerder.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Iemand die gelooft in aliens,&amp;nbsp;heeft tenminste een faire kans om zijn&amp;nbsp;gelijk te bewijzen, iemand die er niet in gelooft, trekt op voorhand aan het kortste eind. Niemand kan bewijzen dat aliens niet bestaan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Onlangs zat ik naar een speech van Mary Rodwell te luisteren. Een Australische die een hulp- en contactlijn opgericht heeft voor mensen die met aliens te maken krijgen. Zij wees op het feit dat de nieuwste generatie kinderen een extreme positieve sprong op gebied van niet-verbale intelligentie gemaakt had :&amp;nbsp;zij sprak over IQ-&amp;nbsp;uitschieters van 184, een getal dat de haren op&amp;nbsp;mijn armen deed rechtstaan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik vroeg aan een hoogbegaafde man van Mensa, of zoiets bij hem bekend was, of er bij die 400 volwassen leden van de Belgische hoogbegaafdenclub wel eens iemand geweest was met een IQ van 184. De man reageerde skeptisch, bijna verontwaardigd. &amp;nbsp;Hij vertelde in alle bescheidenheid dat hij zelf 34 jaar oud was en een IQ van 142 had, waarmee hij een score in de Bell-curve behaalde van 99,99%, met andere woorden : geniaal,&amp;nbsp; slechts 1 op &amp;nbsp;1000 mensen scoort hoger!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maar onze tijd verandert blijkbaar razendsnel! Voor iemand die&amp;nbsp;nu in zijn dertiger jaren is, is een&amp;nbsp;intelligentiequotiënt van 142 geniaal, maar voor iemand die nu 12 jaar is, is dit niet langer geniaal, die behoort op dezelfde test een score te behalen van 184! Dat vermoed ik tenminste, na kennis gemaakt te hebben met &quot;het Flynn-effect&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het Flynn-effect is genoemd naar James R. Flynn, die in de jaren 80 ontdekte dat de gemiddelde scores op een IQ-test aanzienlijk verhoogd waren in de loop der tijd, waardoor de testen herijkt moesten worden, dus moeilijker gemaakt moesten worden. &amp;nbsp;Als jij bv. als Belg geboren bent eind jaren 40, begin jaren 50&amp;nbsp;is jouw IQ gemiddeld&amp;nbsp;20 punten lager dan iemand die geboren is in 2001 (17 punten&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;het wereldwijde gemiddelde). Jouw ouders scoorden&amp;nbsp;ook al&amp;nbsp;beter op IQ-tests dan hun ouders, en de jonge kinderen van nu gebruiken hun hersenen zowat 20 procent effectiever en zijn 20 keer sneller van begrip dan iemand die 30 jaar ouder is. Deze IQ-stijging gaat ook steeds sneller : de kinderen geboren in/na 1991 pakken 0,36 punten IQ-voorsprong per jaar, de kinderen vanaf 2001 pakken elk jaar ongeveer 0,50 IQ-punt voorsprong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dit &quot;verslimmingseffect&quot; is vastgesteld in 14 welvarende en minder welvarende&amp;nbsp;landen verspreid over de&amp;nbsp;wereld,&amp;nbsp;inclusief België en Nederland. Belangrijk om weten is&amp;nbsp; dat het effect het duidelijkst is bij tests die het abstracte, non-verbale denken meten. Het verbale IQ is slechts lichtjes gestegen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je kunt heel ingewikkeld doen over wat intelligentie is, maar je kunt ook simpelweg stellen dat intelligentie het vermogen is om gemakkelijk en snel te leren, en abstract denken, het zien van verbanden en patronen vormt hierbij een belangrijke vaardigheid. Het is modieus om te spreken over emotionele intelligentie, maar voor het overleven van een individu is abstracte, non-verbale intelligentie veel belangrijker. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waarom? Omdat een individu dat goed abstract kan denken in nieuwe situaties makkelijker een inschatting kan maken van de mogelijkheden en hierop zijn gedrag kan afstemmen,&amp;nbsp;een complex&amp;nbsp;probleem kan hij analyseren, een verzameling elementen kan hij schiften tot de relevante elementen overblijven,&amp;nbsp;en hopelijk bezit de abstract denker dan ook genoeg creatief talent om mogelijke oplossingen in&amp;nbsp;zijn scherpe geest te ontwaren. Tja, zo gesteld is intelligentie dan toch niet zo simpel, en een combinatie van meerdere soorten vaardigheden. Genialiteit zit hem dan vooral in de snelheid waarmee je dit alles kunt.&lt;br /&gt;
Het Flynn-effect is verbijsterend. Maar waaraan wordt het toegeschreven? Geloof het of niet, het wordt 100 procent aan omgevingsfactoren toegeschreven : welvaart, vrede, goede voeding, kleinere gezinnen,&amp;nbsp;goede opvoeding, betere scholing, en zeker ook de technologische stimulatie door TV, videospelletjes, gameboy, internet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deze positieve omgevingsfactoren zorgen voor slimmere kinderen die slimmere hersenen ontwikkelen... waardoor ze met hun slimmere DNA weer zo slim zijn om&amp;nbsp;uitdagende omgevingen op te zoeken die hen opnieuw slimmer maken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maar ho-ho-ho!&amp;nbsp;Ik heb altijd gedacht dat intelligentie erfelijk was! Dat ik slim was, omdat mijn moeder het ook was!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Waar is het genetische luik ineens naartoe? Studies naar intelligentie bij tweelingen hadden toch duidelijk aangetoond dat intelligentie erfelijk is. Er is iets dat niet echt klopt. &lt;br /&gt;
En dat heeft James FLynn ook in de gaten, dat de genetische factor nu ineens een grote onbekende is in de hele&amp;nbsp;vergelijking. Nature en nurture beïnvloeden elkaar ook, en het is nog onbekend hoeveel genen een rol spelen in de intelligentie, honderden misschien wel. Het is dus maar best dat de nieuwe kinderen heel slim zijn, want we hebben nog vele antwoorden nodig hier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laat ik eens pogen om zelf een&amp;nbsp;hypothese voor te stellen die licht werpt op de onbekende genetische factor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flynn zegt dat het heel heel heel&amp;nbsp;onwaarschijnlijk is dat onze nieuwe kinderen slimmer geworden zijn door eugenetische voortplanting. Eugenetica is rasverbetering door seksuele teeltkeus, hetgeen Hitler op het oog had met zijn Arische ras. Kies een mooie moeder, doe haar paren met een intelligente vader, en je hebt kans dat er een intelligent en mooi kind geboren wordt. Dit heet heterosis, hybridekracht :&amp;nbsp;hoe meer verschillende genen de ouders hebben hoe beter het is voor het nageslacht. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Welnu, zegt Flynn, hybridekracht is zo goed als uitgesloten als factor in mijn&amp;nbsp; effect, (zijnde een enorme IQ-verhoging tussen 1947 - 2002)&amp;nbsp;omdat dat zou betekenen dat de kinderen van 1947&amp;nbsp;een inteelt-coëfficiënt van 35 procent hebben, wat betekent dat de OUDERS 70 % VAN HUN GENEN GEMEENSCHAPPELIJK ZOUDEN HEBBEN.&amp;nbsp; Zoiets zou geven dat 3 op 5 van de kinderen incestkinderen zijn en 2 op 5 zou van de kruising van eeneiige tweelingen komen, en dat is moeilijk voorstelbaar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maar zoals mijn nonkel zaliger zei toen ik 15 was en een stommiteit uitgestoken had: &quot;Meisje, jij beseft niet half in wat voor wrede vreemde wereld wij leven, de realiteit overtreft de fictie!&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wat als de hybridekracht wel degelijk een grote maar zeer verborgen rol speelt in dit effect? Misschien, heel misschien, is deze enorme IQ-sprong het succesvolle resultaat van eugenetica. Misschien klopt het dat de ouders van de nieuwe kinderen 70 procent van hun genen met elkaar delen, omdat het DNA van al die kinderen kunstmatig gemanipuleerd is. &amp;nbsp;Het is&amp;nbsp;een heftige hypothese,&amp;nbsp;ik weet het. Het is iets waar je niet wilt aan denken. Het is iets om met één zwaai van tafel te vegen als zijnde totaal uit de lucht gegrepen, onmogelijk. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extreme beweringen hebben extreem bewijs nodig, maar dat kan ik niet aandragen.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik zal dus enkel argumenten aanhalen.&lt;br /&gt;
De eerst &lt;strong&gt;gerapporteerde&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;ontvoering van Betty en Barney Hill in de U.S. vond plaats in 1961. Ontvoeringen door aliens is een nieuw fenomeen, een fenomeen dat samenvalt met ons industriële tijdperk, vanaf de jaren 50. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het Flynn effect is eveneens een fenomeen dat samenvalt met &amp;nbsp;het industriële tijdperk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het Flynn effect treedt - net als&amp;nbsp;de ontvoeringen&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;op in Canada, USA, Europa, Azïe, Brazilië, Turkije, Kenya, maar vreemd genoeg niet in Saoudi-Arabië en niet in oorlogsland&amp;nbsp;Sudan. &lt;br /&gt;
Het is dus mijn zaak om te onderzoeken of ontvoeringen door aliens in Saoudi-Arabië al dan niet voorkomt. Als de&amp;nbsp;oliesjeiks net zo goed ontvoerd worden, dan is er geen vuiltje aan de lucht.... Tja dat&amp;nbsp;klinkt als een vieze woordspeling&amp;nbsp;zeg. Als het alien&amp;nbsp;experience fenomeen onbestaande is in Saudi-Arabië, dan denk ik dat het hoog tijd voor de wereld om wakker te worden. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toen ik thuiskwam na het fietsen, en een kopje espresso klaarmaakte, viel mij het volgende te binnen : Wij mensen, alle mensenrassen&amp;nbsp;op deze planeet, wij &amp;nbsp;leven in het stadium van &quot;de zot&quot;, het 0-stadium, het stadium waarin wij onbezorgd en vrolijk ons&amp;nbsp; gangetje gaan, dapper&amp;nbsp;levend in de illusie dat alles is zoals het er uitziet en dat er ons niks kan overkomen.&amp;nbsp;Wij gaan nu over naar het 1-tijdperk van &quot;de magiër&quot;, waarin we gaan&amp;nbsp;moeten slikken&amp;nbsp;dat we niet alleen zijn en &amp;nbsp;dat we niet de hoogste intelligentie zijn. Het is een enorme psychologisch-spirituele uitdaging, die een hoge mate van zelfvertrouwen en vertrouwen in de kosmos vereist. Zullen de nieuwe kinderen het aankunnen? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;ANTWOORD :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Onze kennis van het universum en andere dimensies is beperkt. Het onmogelijke van vandaag is de wetenschap van de toekomst... Onze wetenschap is de laatste honderd jaar wel in een stroomversnelling gekomen, maar we hebben nog een lange weg te gaan en die weg is mogelijk oneindig.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reality is that intelligence has nothing to do with believing in &quot;weird things.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Klopt. Het is een geloof omdat het MATERIEEL bewijs aan de schaarse kant is. Onze beschaving is zeer op het materiële gericht en is spiritueel onderontwikkeld.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A recent National Geographic Society poll reported that 36 percent of Americans -- about 80 million people -- believe UFOs exist, only 17 percent do not, and the rest of the people are undecided. The survey did not specifically equate UFOs with flying saucers or little green men, however.&lt;br /&gt;
(If there are any Martians, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/space/mars-identified-flying-object-120808.html&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;pyrotechnics show&lt;/a&gt; of the Mars Science Lab&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/space/live-mars-rover-curiosity-landing-120802.html&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;descent and landing earlier&lt;/a&gt; this week has made them all UFO believers overnight.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ik ben verrast dat het cijfer van UFO-gelovers zo hoog ligt in Amerika, denk dat dit lager is in Europa, maar &#39;k weet het niet.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The percentage of UFO followers agrees with other surveys taken over the years. A 2001 Gallup Poll showed that belief in haunted houses, ghosts, and demonic possession slightly exceeded belief in UFOs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ik geloof ook in dat soort dingen, maar het interesseert me niet echt. Geesten en demonen hebben niks te bieden, het zijn loosers die ons alleen maar wat lastigvallen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s pretty unlikely a ghost will make a grand appearance on CNN, or we&#39;ll see an exorcism release the devil. But the discovery of aliens via a &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/space/alien-signal-response-120627.html&quot;&gt;SETI signal&lt;/a&gt; might conceivably happen someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;SETI is verspild geld want er zijn - zo blijkt- maar weinig&amp;nbsp;aliens die radiogolven gebruiken als communicatiemiddel.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately, we&#39;ll be prepared because the NGS survey shows that 77 percent of Americans believe there are signs that aliens have already visited Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ja wat wil je, in America is er zoiets als &quot;mass abductions&quot;, iedereen kent daar wel iemand die ontvoerd is, al is het dan van horen zeggen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No doubt this is anchored in mystical themes that benevolent aliens came by and helped out early civilization on huge public works projects, such as the building of the Egyptian pyramids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&lt;strong&gt;k betwijfel dat het daar iets mee te maken heeft.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 13 percent of 1,114 respondents said they would be afraid of aliens harming them. Apparently sci-fi films such as &quot;Independence Day&quot; and &quot;Signs&quot; haven&#39;t made much of an impact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ik ben ook niet bang van aliens die mij komen pakken hoor. Ik ben te oud voor reproductie, wat zouden ze met mij moeten doen... En die science-fiction-films met alieninvasies &amp;nbsp;zitten te ver van de realiteit af om een impact te kunnen hebben.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Nor has astrophysicist Stephen Hawking&#39;s warnings of &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/space/do-aliens-exist-will-they-kill-us.html&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;ray-gun wielding aliens.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/space/could-terrorist-aliens-cyberattack-us-120705.html&quot;&gt;ANALYSIS: Could Terrorist Aliens Cyberattack Us?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Met alle respect voor&amp;nbsp;Stephen Hawking, maar ik&amp;nbsp;zeg één ding : schoenmaker, blijf bij uw leest. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ga toch niet zo fantaseren als je een wetenschapper bent! Een briljant wetenschapper kan beter andere dingen doen dan over gevaarlijke aliens te fantaseren, laat dat laatste maar aan mij over, ik noem mijzelf een ufoloog.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A public relations challenge for NASA and the U.S. military is that 80 percent in the NGS survey feel that the government is hiding information about UFOs. This percentage of government distrust is consistent with a 2009 CBS News poll that found that 77 percent of the population believes that the government covered-up the truth behind the 1963 John F. Kennedy assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Tja, hoe zou dat komen.... Misschien omdat hun doofpotoperaties niet altijd succesvol zijn? Soms beledigen ze met hun bij -het-haar-getrokken- verklaringen echt de intelligentie van het publiek. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the flip side, belief that the &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/space/faked-moon-landings-and-kubricks-the-shining.html&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Apollo moon landings&lt;/a&gt; were a government hoax dropped from 11 percent to 6 percent over the past decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ach ja, er is ook nog altijd een percentage mensen dat gelooft dat de zon rond de aarde draait.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Als je lang genoeg zoekt, zul je er ook nog wel vinden die niet op zee durven varen omdat ze&amp;nbsp;geloven dat de aarde plat is. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;It&#39;s Fun to Believe in Weird Things&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Oh, daar ga ik niet op protesteren! Klopt als een bus!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to conventional wisdom, people of all levels of education like to believe in &quot;weird things,&quot; says Michael Shermer of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.csicop.org/si/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Skeptical Inquirer&lt;/a&gt;. Shermer wrote that people tend to seek or interpret evidence favorable to existing beliefs and ignore or misinterpret evidence unfavorable to those beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Mja, iedereen heeft wel de neiging om dingen die niet in zijn theorie passen terzijde te schuiven.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Dat geldt zowel voor&amp;nbsp;de skeptische als voor de gelovige.&amp;nbsp;Zelfs wetenschappers maken zich daar schuldig aan!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is no more obvious than in the writings of &quot;creationist scientists&quot; who either reject or grossly misinterpret geological, biological and astronomical data to support their biblical-based belief in an 8,000 year-old universe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Klopt. Maar aan de andere kant, wetenschappers laten anomalieën ook links liggen. Er duiken zoveel dingen op die niet in de geschiedenisboeken passen&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This &quot;confirmation bias&quot; is in real science as well. The classic example is the 1903 discovery of &quot;N-rays&quot; a completely new form of radiation announced by Prosper-René Blondlot. At the time, dozens of other scientists confirmed the existence of N-rays in their own laboratories. But further tests showed that N-rays don&#39;t exist at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Voila!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
How could so many scientists be wrong? They deceived themselves into thinking they were seeing something with their instruments that in fact was not there. This came on the heels of Wilhelm Rontgen&#39;s discovery of X-rays and Paul Ulrich Villard’s discovery of gamma rays in the early 1900s. Apparently there was a predisposition to expecting that other invisible forms of radiation must permeate the universe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Hebben die wetenschappers dan een massa-hallucinatie gehad? Of waren het fakers, de ene die de andere naar de mond praatte? Ik denk van niet ! Vergeet niet dat er sinds het dubbele-spleet-experiment ook onder wetenschappers een besef bestaat dat de observeerder mede verantwoordelijk is voor het geobserveerde. Mij lijkt dit een goed voorbeeld hiervan. Hun gezamenlijk geloof heeft de N-ray tijdelijk gecreëerd. Paranormaal en dus niet voor herhaling op commando&amp;nbsp;vatbaar. Slik het!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, any two people can see a blob of light in the sky, one thinking it is the planet Venus and the other person predisposed to interpreting it as a space vehicle under alien control. Yes, airline pilots, and law enforcement office seen strange things in the heavens too. But this is outside of their sphere of expertise -- especially when it comes to astronomical phenomena seen under unusual conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jij weet echt niet wat voor getuigenissen sommige piloten hebben! UFO&#39;s die jou gedurende 10 minuten achtervolgen en vliegtuigen lastigvallen, een keer links vliegen, een keer rechts, een spelletje kat en muis..is dat een misinterpretatie van Venus?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Kan Venus een object zijn dat vertrekt met een snelheid van 29000 km per uur, op radar?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collectively, UFO stories are a sci-fi inspired projection of how we &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; space visitors would look and behave. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Volledig fout! In feite is er tot op heden geen enkele sci-fi-film die aliens portretteert zoals ik ze ken uit getuigenissen van mensen. Geen enkele!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Despite over 60 years of &quot;sightings,&quot; the purported scientific evidence is largely anecdotal and uncorroborated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Weer totaal fout! Het bewijs - zijnde getuigenissen grotendeels- is aan hevige verandering toe, de kennis van de ufologen over de&amp;nbsp;doelen van de aliens neemt&amp;nbsp;echt toe met de jaren, en het plaatje is spijtig genoeg van langs om minder rooskleurig. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mars Science Lab landing left more &lt;a href=&quot;http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/images/?ImageID=4296&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;physical evidence&lt;/a&gt; strewn on the Red Planet than thousands of alleged flying saucers reported over the decades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Graancirkels. Landingssporen. Gecrasht tuig. Verminkt vee. Ontvoeringen met litttekens en implantaten. Vreemde artifacts. Wie er geen interesse voor heeft zal het niet kennen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/space/photos-mars-rover-curiosity-hirise-edl-120807.html&quot;&gt;PHOTOS: Mars Curiosity &#39;Litter Bug&#39; Spied from Orbit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;d say that UFO beliefs are fueled by a &quot;secular theology&quot; where people look for greater meaning to the universe and our relationship with it. The theme is that the aliens flying the UFOs pay attention to us, worry about our misdeeds (as evident in alleged sighting of UFOs hanging around nuclear power plants) and want to help raise us to a higher level of existence. &lt;br /&gt;
This is simply a post-industrial age version of ages old stores of visitation by angels, demons, and other imaginary spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ik haat het als&amp;nbsp;mensen met zo&#39;n tammme uitleg komen! In dit post-industriële tijdperk zijn er nog altijd even veel mensen die, apart van UFO-gelovers, in engelen geloven, in demonen,&amp;nbsp; in geesten, of in astrale uittredingen. UFO&#39;s hebben inderdaad wel een paranormale kant, maar zijn een verschijnsel dat volledig apart staat van demonen en engelen!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few of my colleagues dismiss the SETI searches as an unscientific experiment that border on theology. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ik kan uw collega&#39;s geen ongelijk geven! De aliens uit de vele getuigenissen communiceren niet met radiogolven en ook niet met computers!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We imagine aliens that are intellectually made in our image: they are as curious as we are,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;KLopt, nieuwsgierig zijn ze!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;they build lasers or radio telescopes like we do, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ze gebruiken geen radiogolven (meer) , en hun kennis van wat je met elektromagnetische golven allemaal kunt doen is ver boven onze kennis.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and they are similarly motivated to devote time and resources simply to letting us know that they exist among the stars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Fout. Hun inzet is hun DNA kruisen met het onze.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is hypothesis on top of hypothesis.&lt;br /&gt;
Also, people simply love to believe in weird things just because it&#39;s &lt;em&gt;fun.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Geen tegenspraak hier! Volledig akkoord. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
(As an example, simply listen to the audio track of the UFO sighting posted on the YouTube video shown above.) The staid, rational world described in physics, astronomy or biology 101 classes is a bore to most undergraduates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ik vind gewone fysica, quantumfysica, psychologie en hersenonderzoek ook wel boeiend, genoeg mysterie in de wetenschap om mijn mond te laten openvallen!&amp;nbsp;Bovendien ben ik een &quot;undergraduate&quot;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is exacerbated by the fact that students traditionally are taught &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; to think but not &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; to think, concludes Richard Walker and colleagues in a 2001 survey of 211 college students. One of the true/false questions was, &quot;The government is hiding evidence of alien visitors at Area 51.&quot; Walker&#39;s conclusion: science knowledge is not an inoculation against accepting pseudoscientific gobbledygook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Richard Walker zal zeker de &quot;Bijbel der Waarheid en Kennis over Alles Wat Is-Was-zal zijn&amp;nbsp;en Niet Is-nietWas-niet zal zijn&quot; gelezen hebben. Wat weet die knul nu over Area 51?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What&#39;s more, fun ideas sell. Simply go to you neighborhood bookstore. Pseudoscience topics from astrology to parapsychology fill a &lt;em&gt;lot&lt;/em&gt; more shelves than hard-core science books.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Klopt, maar toch dze opmerking : boeken over koken vullen nu zowat half de winkel.... de mensen zijn vooral met praktische zaken bezig en hebben veel te weinig interesse voor niet-praktische zaken zoals (grens)wetenschap.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thankfully, today&#39;s science renaissance of traveling to other planets and tearing apart subatomic matter is demonstrating achievements once dismissed as impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ja, zoals ik al zei : wat vandaag nog onmogelijk is, is morgen een uitvinding die ieders mond doet openvallen, en zo hebben we er al vele gehad!.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Er zijn echt veel verschillende aliens die onze aarde&amp;nbsp;bezoeken, maar ik ga mij beperken tot de aliens die zich met ons bemoeien.&amp;nbsp;De meest geziene zijn de &quot;Greys&quot;, de kleine van 1m20 of zoiets, met grote zwarte ogen, een hoofd in peervorm op een dun nekje in het midden eronder, een tenger lijf met lange armen en&amp;nbsp;een witachtige huid. Zij hebben geen geslachtsorganen, geen oorschelpen, geen lippen en geen maag, en ze zijn lelijk!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Ze praten via telepathie. Hun job is de geplande ontvoeringen uitvoeren volgens schema. Ze zijn niet erg slim, ze weten alleen wat ze moeten weten. Ze staan onderaan de hiërarchie. Zij doen ook de routine medische en gynaecologische onderzoeken van ontvoerden. Het zijn werkers, geen praters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je hebt ook grote Greys, dat zijn dokters-psychiaters, zij zijn autoritair,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;met&amp;nbsp;ongelooflijke&amp;nbsp;hersenmanipulatie-vermogens, ze scannen de geest van de ontvoerde met hun starende dominerende&amp;nbsp;ogen, ze&amp;nbsp;roepen seksuele gevoelens op tegen de wil van de persoon in. Mensen vinden de procedures van grote Greys meestal zeer onaangenaam. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Boven hen staan de Mantis, de Bidsprinkhanen. Deze zijn groenig van kleur en dragen wijde mantels. Hun hoofd is driehoekig net zoals een bidsprinkhaan. Ze zijn even groot als mensen denk ik. Zij doen zelf ook ontvoeringen en hebben&amp;nbsp;een coördinerende &amp;nbsp;rol in de hybrideproductie. Ze zijn veel slimmer dan de kleine Greys en communicatiever. Zij tonen vaak&amp;nbsp;emotie. Ze zijn zeer goed in het vermommen van zichzelf en in breinmanipulatie. Ze zijn eerder vredelievend en oprecht. Ze hebben een verlangen om geaccepteerd te worden door mensen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Boven hen staan de bizarre&amp;nbsp;Reptielachtige wezens, Reptoids. Zij lijken meer op mensen dan alle voorgaande soorten, door hun gespierde lichaamsbouw en hun seksueel en machtshongerig, agressief karakter. Daarom spreken ze tot de verbeelding. Zij zijn zeer intelligent, hebben inlevingsvermogen en&amp;nbsp;vinden familiebanden belangrijk. Zij hebben schubbenhuid, een schildpaddenhoofd, zwemvliezen tussen hun vingers, en soms&amp;nbsp;kleine vleugels. Zij zijn goed in leiding geven en zullen eerder aanvallen dan vluchten. Zij hebben ook&amp;nbsp;het STERKE verlangen&amp;nbsp;hun DNA succesvol te kruisen met menselijk&amp;nbsp;DNA, maar niet via genetische manipulatie&amp;nbsp;... via seks !&amp;nbsp;Hun honger naar seks gaat gepaard met een eigenaardige minachting voor vrouwelijke wezens, en vrouwelijke reptielachtigen ...bestaan die eigenlijk wel?&lt;br /&gt;
Gezien op youtube : een 42-jarige Italiaanse die getuigt van haar jarenlange ontvoeringen, met paarse fluorescerende sporen op haar lichaam, implantaten, en als klap op de vuurpijl&amp;nbsp;:een abortus&amp;nbsp;die een reptielachtige menselijke foetus toont!-als zulke dingen&amp;nbsp;vals zijn -waarom doen mensen dat toch? zo liegen om in de belangstelling te staan, ziekelijk! in ufoland is het kaf van het koren scheiden moeilijk&amp;nbsp;... wat heeft die vrouw te winnen met zo&#39;n getuigenis???? ofwel spreekt ze de waarheid ofwel is ze krankzinnig, er zijn geen tussenwegen)&amp;nbsp;... Als de vrouw oprecht is dan&lt;br /&gt;
bewijst&amp;nbsp;het dat&amp;nbsp;de Reptielachtige wezens op één of andere manier sterk verwant moeten zijn aan de mens, onthoud dat! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De UFO-oorlog in de Pacific, waarover ik een artikel schreef, is in werkelijkheid &amp;nbsp;een oorlog van mensen tegen Reptilians, getuige de schildpadbeeldjes van verarmd uranium (een beeld waarover ik gepiekerd heb). De tentakelachtige&amp;nbsp;blobs zijn hun soldaten,&amp;nbsp;maar de Reptilians&amp;nbsp;geven de&amp;nbsp;bevelen.&amp;nbsp;Mijn intuïtie zegt me dat reptielachtigen en octopusachtigen iets gemeen hebben met elkaar waardoor zij zich&amp;nbsp;verwant &amp;nbsp;voelen.&amp;nbsp;Je zou gaan denken dat het hier om aardse wezens gaat en niet om buitenaardse, .... De diepe troggen in de oceanen zijn voor mensen onbekend vreemdsoortig terrein. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dan heb je de Nordics : grote, blonde mannen en vrouwen, uiterlijk net zoals mensen, maar mooier, symmetrischer, perfecter, ...doet denken aan het Arische superieure ras waar Hitler aan werkte.&amp;nbsp; Had Hitler UFO-ervaringen&amp;nbsp;? Ik zou denken van wel! &lt;br /&gt;
Nordics zijn aliens, geen twijfel aan! Hun bewegingen zijn echt anders, hun technologie is superieur, en zo voelen ze zich ook.&amp;nbsp;Nordics hebben inlevingsvermogen en gevoel voor humor, ze doen mij denken aan menselijke tijdreizigers.&amp;nbsp;De Nordic vrouwen hebben&amp;nbsp;een schoonheid die een verpletterende indruk maakt op mannelijke ontvoerden! &amp;nbsp;Ze zijn gesignaleerd bij graancirkels in Wiltshire,&amp;nbsp;United Kingdom. &lt;br /&gt;
Een Nordic demonstreerde eens aan een mens hoe hij de lichtstraal van een zaklamp afboog in een hoek. Alsof hij met zijn geesteskracht een elektromagnetisch&amp;nbsp;schild kon genereren die een lichtbundel kon afbuigen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, er bestaan echt nog vele andere bezoekende aliens op deze wereldbol, we zijn een prachtig toeristisch plekje in het heelal!!!!&lt;br /&gt;
Maar die toeristen houden mij niet wakker. Iets anders wel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nadenken over die buitenaardsen... het vervult mij met&amp;nbsp;verwondering, gemengd met angst en respect. Ik kijk graag naar de sterrenhemel... zo mooi.... zo oneindig....&amp;nbsp;en weet dat daartussen verborgen&amp;nbsp;werelden zijn die&amp;nbsp;je voorstellingsvermogen te boven gaan...ik verlang naar het contact&amp;nbsp;.... ik&amp;nbsp;verlang naar&amp;nbsp;de kennis...Maar het concept, de notie, het concept dat zij mij kennen en ik hun niet.... dat is.... (ik schud mijn hoofd van nee-neen-neen)...verontrustend, shockerend, vreselijk zelfs! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het doet mij inferieur voelen, alsof ik van slechte kwaliteit ben, alsof ik een mug ben.&amp;nbsp;Ik wil geen mug zijn!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dat gevoel delen we, die angst om totaal hulpeloos zijn. Wat is het ergste dat ons kan gebeuren? Een beroemd filosoof antwoordde : &quot;Het ergste dat jou kan gebeuren? Ach, vergeet het, je HEBT het al meegemaakt!&quot;. Ik geef niks om filosofen, maar die woorden bleven hangen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Als we wisten wie we waren, als we niet hier&amp;nbsp;zo gegooid waren, zonder uitleg, zonder kennis wie we zijn en waar we vandaan komen en waar we heen gaan, als we dat wisten, dan zouden we zelfvertrouwen hebben en niet zo kwetsbaar zijn.... maar onze geschiedenisboeken, pffff...: hiaten &amp;amp; gaten, en&amp;nbsp;onze bijbel ????? pffff... Eva&amp;nbsp;uit een rib van Adam, primitief!&amp;nbsp;...&amp;nbsp;en dan ... de kosmos, het universum, het oneindige...&amp;nbsp;dromen over het oneindige sinds&amp;nbsp;je 5 was...&amp;nbsp;je hebt nooit zwarte zwanen gezien.... noch witte raven... maar je gelooft erin omdat mensen er jou over vertelden... en je gelooft mensen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ook al zijn ze het soms niet waard.&lt;br /&gt;

= het feit dat de machtigen op aarde toegang hebben tot de meest belangrijke&amp;nbsp;UFO-informatie en niet willen dat u en ik, de massa,&amp;nbsp;daar ook toegang tot hebben.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Waarom willen zij ons onwetend houden? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het antwoord heeft te maken met energie, milieu en het macro-enomisch systeem van de wereld. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Energie. De mens is afhankelijk van olie en de meest machtigen op aarde zijn daar&amp;nbsp;gigantisch rijk van geworden. De massa klaagt over de hoge olieprijs en de meest machtigen lachen in hun vuistje want zij zijn het die ervoor zorgen dat de prijs telkens&amp;nbsp;stijgt en die ervoor zorgen dat de massa geen andere uitweg heeft dan die steeds stijgende prijzen&amp;nbsp;te betalen. De wereld wordt kunstmatig in de greep van de olie gehouden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Milieu. Het gebruik van olie is een foute, vervuilende&amp;nbsp;energiekeuze die het geo-fysisch systeem van de planeet sterk verandert (opwarming van de aarde), ons wereldklimaat drastisch en snel ontregelt en de grote oorzaak is van huidige en toekomstige oorlogen.&lt;br /&gt;
De kennis over duurzame energie uit zon en wind en hoe die kan toegepast worden is al heel lang aanwezig, auto&#39;s hoeven niet op olie te rijden.&amp;nbsp;De verspreiding en toepassing van die kennis&amp;nbsp;wordt geboycot door de machtigen die er alle belang bij hebben om een status-quo te behouden wat betreft energievoorziening op aarde. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mondiaal kapitalisme. Het duizelingwekkende kapitaal van grote investeringsbanken en multinationals pendelt binnen enkele uren, minuten, ja zelfs seconden heen en weer tussen verschillende machtige economieën in een bijna virtuele wereld. Wat niet belet dat ondertussen wereldwijd&amp;nbsp; de armoede toeneemt, vooral extreme armoede op de zuidelijke wereldhelft waar de gevolgen van de planeetopwarming de meeste doden veroorzaken. De machtigen negeren deze arme landen die in hun ogen kapitalistisch waardeloos zijn en willen&amp;nbsp;geen cent aan hen geven.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Pogingen tot broodnodige klimaatverdragen mislukken door het kapitalistische egoïsme van de machtigen. Opvallend is hierbij dat de meest schuldigen het minst willen doen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UFO&#39;s. De machtigen verhinderen&amp;nbsp;de toegang tot kennis over UFO&#39;s omdat UFO&#39;s capabel zijn de wereld te bevrijden&amp;nbsp;uit de kunstmatige greep van de olie.&amp;nbsp;Een deel van de&amp;nbsp;gevorderde technologie&amp;nbsp;van UFO&#39;s is bestudeerd en welbekend.&amp;nbsp;Deze kennis werd en wordt gebruikt voor defensie maar niet om de wereld een betere plek&amp;nbsp;te maken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Buitenaardse intelligenties. Zij&amp;nbsp;waarschuwen de&amp;nbsp;mens voor de gevaarlijke neerwaartse spiraal waarin&amp;nbsp;hij gevangen zit door olie, kernenergie, kernwapens en geofysische wapens zoals H.A.A.R.P. Deze hogere intelligenties&amp;nbsp;waarschuwen dat wij&amp;nbsp;in deze eeuw&amp;nbsp;de planeet heftige schade toebrengen en&amp;nbsp;onze eigen ondergang bewerkstelligen. De machtigen van de aarde&amp;nbsp;zijn zich hiervan bewust van&amp;nbsp;en laten wetenschappers onderzoeken hoe zij op Mars zouden kunnen wonen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bovenvermelde&amp;nbsp;onrechtvaardigheid zou tot de kennis van alleman kunnen behoren als iemand erin slaagde om hiervan een&amp;nbsp;succesvolle Hollywoodfilm&amp;nbsp;te maken die&amp;nbsp;wereldwijd de bioscopen haalde. Tot op vandaag is dit niet kunnen gebeuren.&amp;nbsp; Spielberg is in het primitieve stadium blijven steken van films over goede en slechte buitenaardsen, maar waagt het niet de werkelijke buitenaardse intelligenties&amp;nbsp;te tonen die een stuk complexer zijn. Het ontbreken van zo&#39;n film, die een logische stap&amp;nbsp;zou zijn&amp;nbsp;in de carrière van grote filmmakers zoals bijvoorbeeld Spielberg,&amp;nbsp;bewijst dat mijn&amp;nbsp;stellingen hier&amp;nbsp;met betrekking tot&amp;nbsp;de machtigen der aarde en UFO&#39;s&amp;nbsp;niet op verzinsels gebaseerd is. </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/feeds/7704872276805535920/comments/default' title='Reacties posten'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/2012/12/ufo-geheimhouding-en-olie.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4721288764676000656/posts/default/7704872276805535920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4721288764676000656/posts/default/7704872276805535920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/2012/12/ufo-geheimhouding-en-olie.html' title='UFO-geheimhouding en olie'/><author><name>Ingrid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01496316748852568674</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGPJOq9jGHiXtOuazszFZUH1qeq-iKkgYpid80EecxFA6AlmvzYOP0DqTGD9gyIkKiB20fw0krmKjAncZ-0NwMGkKQ8CyMg813XvV54oX6uOxfmGsUHbCCbkLcPAhridE/s220/IMG_6458.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721288764676000656.post-8853377672785818347</id><published>2012-12-09T21:47:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2012-12-09T21:47:36.550+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Waarom ontvoeren buitenaardsen mensen?</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;
Er zijn&amp;nbsp;er genoeg&amp;nbsp;onder ons die ooit een UFO zagen en een deel daarvan menen ontvoerd te zijn. Wie ontvoerd is,&amp;nbsp;worstelt&amp;nbsp;met de vraag : waarom. Meestal beseffen&amp;nbsp;mensen niet dat zij ontvoerd zijn, omdat buitenaardsen technieken hebben om de ervaring en het geheugen van een mens te manipuleren. Maar toch verandert de ervaring hun persoonlijkheid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De mensen die wel herinneringen hebben aan de ontvoering, of die&amp;nbsp;bewuste contacten onderhouden met&amp;nbsp;buitenaardsen, vertellen fundamenteel hetzelfde verhaal : de aliens gebruiken sperma/eitjes/weefsel van de ontvoerden voor genetische&amp;nbsp;manipulatie. Hiermee kweken zij op grote schaal een hybrideras,&amp;nbsp; een bastaardras dat kinderen geeft die half alien en half mens zijn.&lt;br /&gt;
Er zijn aanwijzingen dat dit project al in de 2de generatie zit, waarbij het nieuwe ras meer menselijk oogt dan buitenaards, iets wat voor ontvoerde moeders erg traumatisch is omdat zij deze baby&#39;s wel even mogen zien en liefde geven,&amp;nbsp;maar nooit meekrijgen. De baby&#39;s worden al gestolen bij de moeders tijdens de tweede foetusmaand en in glazen containers verder gekweekt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dat aliens hybrides kweken en zeer druk experimenteren met ons DNA is iets waar ik geloof aan hecht. Ik heb vele slachtoffers hun verhaal horen vertellen. Die mensen&amp;nbsp;zijn niet gek, zij leven in een gezin, zij gaan werken,&amp;nbsp;zij functioneren normaal. Hun verhalen zijn voor mij overtuigend,&amp;nbsp; hun emoties bij het vertellen&amp;nbsp;zijn diep en&amp;nbsp;echt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dus dan komen we nu bij de grote vraag : waarom doen aliens dat? Wat zijn ze van plan met dit hybrideras? Denk daar eens over na. Je zult vast wel zelf&amp;nbsp;kunnen bedenken&amp;nbsp;wat ze zouden kunnen van plan zijn. Hoewel het geen leuke gedachte is, moet je erover nadenken:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Aliens willen de aarde koloniseren op een moment dat de de bevolking op aarde sterk uitgedund is&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Er zijn &quot;contactmensen&quot; die deze agenda kennen, en wiens medewerking hiertoe gevraagd is door de aliens. Er zijn contactmensen die effectief meewerken aan deze agenda. Aliens slagen er namelijk vaak in om de sympathie van hun ontvoerden te krijgen, zodat zij die kunnen inzetten in hun grootse project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dit roept de vraag op : maar als aliens de aarde willen koloniseren, waarom hebben ze dat niet al lang gedaan? Het is &lt;em&gt;nu&lt;/em&gt; immers niet de beste tijd om ons te komen koloniseren! De mens beschikt nu immers over machtige centrale regeringen die machtige wapens hebben! Een paar eeuwen geleden hadden wij al die structuur en wapens nog niet, en dan zou het veel gemakkelijker geweest zijn om ons hier te koloniseren. Dus waarom nu?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het antwoord hierop dringt ook tot je door als je luistert naar contactmensen, hiermee bedoel ik slachtoffers die bewuste herinneringen hebben aan de ontvoeringen. Zij berichten keer op keer over 3D-projecties waarop zij de aarde zagen vergaan, iets wat hen angst aanjoeg en droef maakte. Hoe die aarde vergaat, verschilt van verhaal tot verhaal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aliens en UFO&#39;s zijn er vermoedelijk al erg lang&amp;nbsp;in onze aardse geschiedenis. De piramides in Egypte bijvoorbeeld doen&amp;nbsp;iedereen sterk aan vergevorderde technologie en dito&amp;nbsp;kennis denken. &lt;br /&gt;
Die aliens, die ons al duizenden jaren kennen,&amp;nbsp;zijn wetenschappelijk een heel eind verder in hun&amp;nbsp; kennis, laat daar geen twijfel over bestaan. Maar de&amp;nbsp;frequentie waarop zij de laatste 50 jaar ons luchtruim schenden en ontvoeringen doen, dat is &lt;em&gt;nieuw:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Frequente ontvoeringen zijn een fenomeen van de laatste 60 jaar!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hoe ik daar zo zeker van ben? Wel, een ontvoering is traumatisch. Wie dat meemaakt, is daar niet goed van, die wil dat delen, die schrijft dat op omdat die weet dat het buitengewoon is. Wij zouden documenten of schilderijen&amp;nbsp;uit vorige&amp;nbsp;eeuwen hebben die daar over zouden vertellen. Wel, die documenten, die schilderijen : die zijn er niet! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het fenomeen ontvoeringen is begonnen &amp;nbsp;na de tweede wereldoorlog. En weet je wat er ook begonnen is omstreeks 1950? De uitvinding van de waterstofbom, de neutronenbom, je weet wel, die bom waar we allemaal echt bang voor werden in de jaren 80. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1950 is echter nog een belangrijk keerpunt geweest in onze aardse geschiedenis. Het was het kritieke punt waarop beslissingen hadden moeten vallen om het broeikaseffect te stoppen. Wetenschappers wisten toen al dat het fout zat, maar&amp;nbsp;de alarmerende feiten&amp;nbsp;werden door&amp;nbsp;&quot;debunkers&quot; ontkracht en de massa&amp;nbsp;wilde de debunkers geloven.&amp;nbsp;Zelfs een eerbiedwaardig programma als &quot;Panorama&quot;&amp;nbsp;beweerde in de jaren&amp;nbsp;90&amp;nbsp;dat het allemaal nonsens was, die zotte broeikastheorie! Ik herinner mij mijn verontwaardiging over dat programma,&amp;nbsp;ik vond het schaamtelijk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waarom ? De&amp;nbsp;samenleving vindt economie veel en veel&amp;nbsp;gewichtiger dan ecologie,&amp;nbsp; de overheid denkt op korte termijn, en we hebben gekozen om blind te blijven&amp;nbsp;voor de gevolgen van onze daden...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het broeikaseffect is werkelijk, en het is geëscaleerd tot een point of no return. In de metro van Keulen hangt er ergens een grafiek die deze escalatie in beeld brengt. Elke 10 jaar stijgt de gemiddelde wereldtemperatuur door de CO2 in de lucht met 1,2 graden, dit is zeer onnatuurlijk. De gevolgen zijn onder andere : meer en ergere droogtes, koude periodes worden minder frequent, hete periodes worden frequent,&amp;nbsp;de zee warmt op, de gletsjers smelten, de minder sterke dieren sterven uit aan een alarmerend tempo, en als het punt of no return bereikt is...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dan is de vicieuze cirkel rond, dan is het onze beurt : menselijke uitroeiing.&lt;br /&gt;
Niet de aliens doen dat, wij doen dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De planeet aarde zal blijven leven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hoewel de biodiversiteit enorm zal teruggelopen zijn, zullen er nog dieren zijn.&lt;br /&gt;
Er zullen zelfs nog mensen overblijven. Maar het zal een ander mensenras zijn. Een slimmer mensenras!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dus als je nog eens hoort spreken over &quot;de nieuwe wereldorde&quot;,&amp;nbsp;besef dan&amp;nbsp;dat&amp;nbsp;de nieuwe wereldorde veel meer inhoudt dan bewustzijnsverrruiming, of ontdekking van nieuwe dimensies. De nieuwe wereldorde is de herkolonisatie van een zwaar toegetakelde planeet Aarde.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Dat zit veilig achter driedubbel gesloten militaire deuren, beschermd zoals goudstaven.&amp;nbsp;In UFO-incidenten&amp;nbsp;betrokken mensen hebben altijd zwijgplicht kregen. Als zij praten krijgen ze last, veel last. Maar mensen zijn mensen : een geheim dat bewaar je wel, maar liefst toch niet te lang.&amp;nbsp;De UFOloog&amp;nbsp;moet vaak jaren geduld oefenen, voor&amp;nbsp;de waarheid komt bovendrijven. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De waarheid : verwacht die vooral niet van officiële instanties.&amp;nbsp;Als je denkt veel info te vinden in de door de overheid vrijgegeven UFO-files (vrijgegeven n.a.v. het Freedom of INformatieon Pact)&amp;nbsp;kom je bedrogen uit. De waarheid komt uit de kindermond, zegt de volkswijsheid, en in UFOland is dat niet anders : de waarheid komt meestal uit onofficiële monden. &lt;br /&gt;
In de UFOlogie mag je ook geen heil verwachten van de wetenschap. Dat is jammer, erg jammer,&amp;nbsp;want dat&amp;nbsp;is ook de reden waarom het fenomeen marginaal nieuws blijft, stiefmoederlijk behandeld in de media. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maar ja, het is nu eenmaal zo,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;onze goede wetenschappers kunnen&amp;nbsp;weinig zinnigs&amp;nbsp;ontfutselen aan het UFO-mysterie , want het fenomeen lijkt&amp;nbsp;zich niks&amp;nbsp;aan te trekken van onze fysica-regels, en dat is behoorlijk degoutant voor een wetenschapper. Die buitenaardsen hebben echt lol als zij het verbijsterde gezicht van een wetenschapper mogen aanschouwen.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik bedoel : een luchtschip dat ineens versnelt naar de snelheid van 29000 km per uur (snelheid van een ruimteraket) zonder een enorme knal te geven, nee, dat kan niet. Een luchtschip&amp;nbsp;dat de ene seconde er nog is, en de volgende seconde zomaar weg, floeps : dat kan niet! Zijn het luchtspiegelingen, of geprojecteerde driedimensionele beelden? Nee, want een luchtspiegeling of hologram geeft geen radardetectie en ook geen landingssporen. Iets is heel erg&amp;nbsp;spookachtig in UFO-land, en je grijze cellen gaan ervan koken in hun membranen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is er eigenlijk al echt wetenschappelijk onderzoek gedaan naar UFO&#39;s? Wel, ik herinner mij Project Blue Book, een Amerikaans onderzoek in opdracht van de luchtmacht, dat afgesloten werd met het Condon-rapport in 1968 met het besluit, dat UFO&#39;s geen bedreiging vormen voor de nationale veiligheid. Zoiets leest men graag natuurlijk. Maar denk jij dat dat waar is?&lt;br /&gt;
De NASA en de CIA zouden allebei opgericht geweest zijn nadat er indrukwekkende UFO-vloten in het Amerikaanse luchtruim gezien waren.&amp;nbsp;Deze diensten hebben de informatie waar elke UFOloog alleen van dromen kan. Maar de absolute toptrip voor een UFOloog&amp;nbsp;zou een geleide toer door Area51 zijn, een vermaarde topgeheime militaire basis in de Nevada-woestijn, waar op gecrashte UFO&#39;s &quot;omgekeerde technologie&quot; toegepast wordt. &amp;nbsp;De mensen die daar werken worden per helicopter gebracht. In Area 51 is &quot;zin voor discretie&quot; de&amp;nbsp;prioritaire aanwervingsvoorwaarde, en dat is nog eufemistisch uitgedrukt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dus jij denkt nog altijd dat UFO&#39;s geen bedreiging zijn voor de nationale veiligheid? Wat denk je dan van volgend bericht:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/09/17/ufo-war-chinese-and-us-navy-off-san-francisco/&quot;&gt;http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/09/17/ufo-war-chinese-and-us-navy-off-san-francisco/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;De oppositie is buitenaards, vijandig en extreem aggressief&quot;.... Klinkt niet geruststellend meer. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&quot;Pogingen om bevestigingen te krijgen of op een directe manier deze operaties op te volgen zullen fataal aflopen&quot; Dat klinkt niet erg aardig! Wij mogen nu nooit eens iets weten!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Helaas voor de overheid, maar er is een informatielek geweest en het heeft zich gericht aan John Kettler. Spits uw oren, wat ik nu ga vertellen is ongelooflijk en ik heb er geen enkel bewijs voor dat het waar is, maar jij hebt ook geen enkel bewijs dat het niet waar is. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dus er gingen 3 oorlogsschepen naar een plek waar vijandige UFO&#39;s moesten beschoten worden, die foto zie je in bovenvermeld artikel.&amp;nbsp;Ineens zien ze een &quot;onbekend drijvend onderwaterschip&quot; dat de lucht ingaat en een witte straal op 1 schip richt die alles wit doet gloeien. Een beetje later krijgen ze een groene straal op hen en alles gloeit even groen, waarna het schip met heel zijn 200-koppige bemanning gewoon in het niets verdwenen is, ik zeg u : compleet&amp;nbsp;verdampt! Een ander schip een beetje verder in zee krijgt een lading kleine metalen projectieltjes over zich heen. De bemanning vreest het ergste, denkt dat het zal exploderen, er gebeurt niks. Na een tijd&amp;nbsp;verzamelen ze de projectieltjes: het zijn kleine&amp;nbsp;schildpadbeeldjes gegoten uit verarmd uranium, meer dan 1000 hiervan&amp;nbsp;zijn aan boord. Voor mensen die in alles wat ze doen en laten zingeving willen vinden, is zoiets gewoon absurd. Wat is het doel? Een cadeautje om vergiffenis te vragen? Nee, dat heeft niet gewerkt! Tijd voor wraak !Versterking gevraagd! Er komen armado&#39;s bij uit China, Taiwan, Japan, Zuid-Korea en de US. Er wordt duchtig geschoten op de UFO&#39;s, zowel met traditionele wapens als met satellietgestuurde energiewapens. Phalanx CIWS worden ingezet met success : 4 schotelvormige UFO&#39;s en 2 cilindervormige worden vernield. Op één schip gebeurt er iets gruwelijks . Een aantal officieren worden opgegeten, het&amp;nbsp;gebeurt zo snel dat ze nauwelijks kunnen zien hebben wat het precies was, maar het laat slijm achter. &lt;br /&gt;
Er worden&amp;nbsp;3 nog levende wezens uit het water gehaald.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Vergeet de greys, vergeet de Retoids, dit zijn griezels van de ergste soort! Stel u een bobbel voor, met 400à 500&amp;nbsp;steeds bewegende tentakels, dat hydrochloorzuur uit zijn zalmroze-fuchsia vel wasemt. En nu het wereldnieuws dat niemand kent : er is een kernwapen van 150 Kiloton gebruikt om met succes&amp;nbsp;één onderwaterbasiste vernietigen. Deze bom gaf 2 knallen, de tweede luider dan de eerste, en een beetje later kwam een grote gas-waterwolk naar boven.De explosie gebeurde op 30000 voet onder zeeniveau, 300 nautische mijlen ten oosten van Indonesië. Sindsdien hebben ze geen UFO meer gezien daar. &lt;br /&gt;
De 3 gevangen demon&amp;nbsp;aliens werden naar Area 51&amp;nbsp;gebracht. Het zeewater van hun kooien hadden ze veranderd in chloorgas. Hun uitademingen deden al het ijzer in Area 51 roesten. Hun UFO&#39;s zijn niet van metaal, maar van een&amp;nbsp;magnetisch erts met hoog berylliumgehalte.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wat een verhaal! Zoiets kun je toch niet geloven? Een verdampt schip! En de naam van dat schip : onbekend, dat vind ik wel verdacht. Maar de naam van de gebruikte bommen hebben ze wel meegedeeld. Ik weet niet wat ik van dit verhaal moet denken, ik begin te lachen als ik aan die opgegeten officieren denk. Het is een scenario voor een spannende SF-film, dat wel. Bekogeld worden met schildpadbeeldjes van verarmd uranium, tjonge tjonge, hoe kom je op het idee! Ik&amp;nbsp;zou nooit gedacht hebben&amp;nbsp;dat aliens van kunst hielden. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dus ja, er is duidelijk iets veranderd sinds 1968, Ufo&#39;s zijn niet langer &quot;no threat to national security&quot;... en de beroemde uitspraak van ROnald Reagan is blijkbaar ook snel waarheid geworden : als agressieve aliens ons bestoken, dan verenigen concurrerende volkeren zich tot 1 grote strijdmacht, want de aarde... tja, enkel wij aardlingen hebben het recht om die te exploiteren. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S. Het klopt wel dat UFO&#39;s en aliens van de zee en van diepe wateren houden. Toen ik een keer op internet een&amp;nbsp;overzichtskaart&amp;nbsp;te zien kreeg die rode stippen had op&amp;nbsp;alle plekken op de wereld waar ontvoeringen door aliens&amp;nbsp;gemeld werden, toen werd het mij eensklaps overduidelijk : al die plekken lagen aan kusten!!!&amp;nbsp;Als U dus een slachtoffer van de aliens bent, geef ik u de raad: verhuis naar het binnenland, zo ver mogelijk van diepe wateren! &lt;br /&gt;
En nu graag een pluimpje voor Charlotte, de ufoloog!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PS. Hier nog een verslag over vijandige aliens :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Another place where people often report UFO encounters is Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water.&lt;br /&gt;
In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal spotted a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the seven men died, while four others were severely injured.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/feeds/1173653096422578003/comments/default' title='Reacties posten'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/2012/12/ufo-oorlog-in-de-pacific.html#comment-form' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4721288764676000656/posts/default/1173653096422578003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4721288764676000656/posts/default/1173653096422578003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/2012/12/ufo-oorlog-in-de-pacific.html' title='UFO-oorlog in de Pacific'/><author><name>Ingrid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01496316748852568674</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGPJOq9jGHiXtOuazszFZUH1qeq-iKkgYpid80EecxFA6AlmvzYOP0DqTGD9gyIkKiB20fw0krmKjAncZ-0NwMGkKQ8CyMg813XvV54oX6uOxfmGsUHbCCbkLcPAhridE/s220/IMG_6458.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721288764676000656.post-8960004814973657135</id><published>2012-11-22T21:56:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-11-22T21:56:10.956+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Brief aan Simon Parkes, contactee.</title><content type='html'>De 4 video&#39;s van Simon hebben mij erg gefascineerd, maar ook verontrust. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik geloof hem! Hij vertelt echte ervaringen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simon Parkes heeft mij&amp;nbsp;enige antwoorden gegeven op mijn vragen over de Greys. Simon zegt dat de Greys ondergeschikt zijn, van lage rang&amp;nbsp;en&amp;nbsp;geprogrammeerd om&amp;nbsp;de taken uitvoeren waarvoor ze gemaakt zijn. Dat klopt met alles wat ik al wist over Greys. Greys zijn niet echt intelligent en&amp;nbsp;ze weten niet veel. Er is op youtube een video van een interview met een echte Grey (&quot;interview with a REAL alien&quot;) en als de interviewer vraagt&amp;nbsp; of wij mensen misschien een product zijn van technologische makelij, kan de&amp;nbsp;grey geen antwoord geven. Maar&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;ook de interviewer is stom, hij weet&amp;nbsp;niet echt wie hij voor zich heeft, en hij heeft een tolk nodig om met de alien te praten. Deze video is dan ook erg oud, ondertussen&amp;nbsp;weten we wel&amp;nbsp;meer. &lt;br /&gt;
Wat verontrustend is, is hoeveel sympathie&amp;nbsp;Simon voor zijn Mantis aliens voelt. Ze hebben hem altijd goed behandeld, zegt hij.&amp;nbsp;Ze zijn aardiger dan mensen zegt hij. ... Hallo!!!????&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Is dat wel waar Simon? Tijdens video 4 heb ik tekeningen&amp;nbsp;van jou gezien waarop die aliens jou vasthouden op manieren die niet erg aardig lijken,&amp;nbsp;echt geen manieren! En&amp;nbsp;op die tekeningen&amp;nbsp;lijkt het mij dat&amp;nbsp;ze jou ook erg bang gemaakt hebben, en jij bent niet vlug bang!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Iemand expres bang maken is niet aardig Simon! En heb je er wel eens bij stilgestaan dat de vreselijke wezens waarneer &quot;die&amp;nbsp;rode man&amp;nbsp;met de vingers in piramidesymbool&quot; jou leidden, &amp;nbsp;iets zouden kunnen zijn uit je recente ervaringen en niet uit&amp;nbsp;een vorig leven? Zou het niet kunnen dat&amp;nbsp;de aliens&amp;nbsp;jou door middel van een angstaanjagend ritueel proberen laten doen hebben wat zij willen dat jij doet? Want wat zij wilden Simon, is dat jij&amp;nbsp;een leidinggevende&amp;nbsp;werd in die &#39;hybridefabriek&#39; van hen. Daarom heb jij weet van de problemen in die fabriek. Héél veel mensen weten van de fabriek, maar&amp;nbsp;jij bent de enige die weet heeft van wat er met die hybrides aan de hand is. Waarom zouden ze jou dat laten zien hebben Simon? Je bent er door getraumatiseerd en je hebt het verdrongen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En waarom laten ze jou die andere &#39;fabriek&#39; niet zien?&amp;nbsp;Dat slachthuis waarin ze dieren doden en verminken?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Dat laten ze niet zien aan jou, want jij bent een dierenliefhebber. Maar het is gruwelijk Simon, wat ze de dieren aandoen! Laat dat goed tot je doordringen : het is afschuwelijk, en het bewijst dat ze geen hart hebben. Kijk naar jouw zwarte kat, Simon. De liefde die jij voor dat beest voelt, daar hebben zij nog geen duizendste van in hun lijf. Dat is de hoofdreden dat ze met ons willen kruisen.&amp;nbsp;Wij hebben de intensiteit,&amp;nbsp;de liefde en natuurlijk ook de Aarde waar zij jaloers op zijn. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vertel me, lieve mooie Simon, waarom is je boek nog niet af? Is het omdat je bang bent voor de reacties van de mensen? Dan heb je gelijk, want&amp;nbsp;de goegemeente zal niet&amp;nbsp;mild voor je zijn. Dat verjaardagskaartje, tja, ik vind het stom,&amp;nbsp;je&amp;nbsp;moet ze een proces aan hun been doen want zoiets is tegen de wet, maar weet je Simon, dat&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;wel een voorproefje van de hoon die je te beurt zal vallen. Je zult gemene stiekeme pesterijen moeten verduren. Dan pas zul je ervaren hoe gemeen de mensen kunnen zijn! &lt;br /&gt;
Ik weet dat je&amp;nbsp;dat &#39;uit de kast komen&#39; en het schrijven van dat boek doet voor het goede doel&amp;nbsp; namelijk de waarheid onthullen. En echt, Simon, ik ben jou dankbaar dat je dat doet, want ik ben ook zo, de waarheid heeft prioriteit! En je hebt vragen van mij beantwoord, vragen waar ik al lang mee zat. Je helpt hiermee mensen, je helpt de wereld, dus dat is goed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maar waarom ik jou deze brief schrijf, Simon, is omdat ik misschien wel vragen van jou kan beantwoorden. Ik vind dat je eens diep in je hart moet kijken en jezelf de vraag stellen : kan ik de aliens echt vertrouwen? &lt;br /&gt;
Ik weet dat je van je Mantis-moeder houd, en ik vind dat zelfs ontroerend, Maar eigenlijk heeft je Mantismoeder jou om de tuin geleid en diep in je hart weet je dat...Je bent net als een baby-eendje gemanipuleerd! Je weet toch dat baby-eendjes de eerste die ze zien na hun geboorte volgen? Dus als dat een mens is die doet alsof&amp;nbsp;hij een lieve grote&amp;nbsp;eend is, dan geloven die baby-eendjes dat dit hun moeder is. Ja, die baby-eendjes zijn totaal hulpeloos en onwetend, elk wezen kan daar eigenlijk mee doen wat het wil. En jij, Simon, jij doet mij denken aan zo&#39;n eendje.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Maar allez-ja, ik moet toegeven dat die tekening mij ontroerde, die tekening waarop jouw Manta-mama jou in de lucht gooit en zegt &quot;You are truely loved!&quot;. Ik denk ook dat jouw Manta-moeder goed is, dat ze je bemint.&amp;nbsp;De&amp;nbsp;buitenaardsen&amp;nbsp;geven echt wel veel aandacht en bescherming aan jou, jij bent speciaal voor hen, dat is duidelijk voor mij . Jij hebt geen angst meer voor hen, dat maakt jou erg bijzonder.&lt;br /&gt;
Maar wat mij verheugt Simon, is dat je, als puntje bij paaltje kwam,&amp;nbsp;toch lekker menselijk gebleven bent. Je koos ONZE kant. &lt;br /&gt;
Dat je &quot;nee&quot; zei tegen de alien die je wilde doen geloven dat hij jouw vader en schepper was, dat vind ik tof! Dat je &quot;nee&quot; zei toen de Great One jou&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;aanbood om&amp;nbsp;een groot veldkrijger te zijn die planeet na planeet veroverde. en ras na ras aan zich onderwierp...&amp;nbsp;Ach Simon, je hebt geen vechtersbloed in jou, en dat vond die gevleugelde Reptielachtige wel jammer. &lt;br /&gt;
Je moet de aliens niet vertrouwen Simon.&amp;nbsp;Dat wist je al als 6-jarige. Kijk naar hun hoofddoel : de aarde herbevolken op een moment dat de mensen haast uitgestorven zijn. Ze hebben jou beloofd dat jij altijd water en voedsel zou hebben. ... Ja, tot zolang ze jou nuttig kunnen gebruiken wel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Want weet je wat hun verborgen agenda is? Ze laten jou als kop van Jut dienen. Zodra de mensheid beseft wat er echt gaande is, en dat gaat nog een tijdje duren, dan gaat&amp;nbsp;de mensheid als één geheel&amp;nbsp;vechten voor zijn&amp;nbsp;vrijheid en voor zijn aarde, dat weten de aliens. En vechten, dat kunnen we! &amp;nbsp;De aliens&amp;nbsp;hebben er dus alle belang bij om in het verborgene te blijven .&amp;nbsp;En jouw boek, sorry, maar dat is een obstakel in hun verborgen agenda vrees ik. En dat weet jij ook en daarom heb jij hen horen zeggen &quot;the doors are closing&quot; dat was op jou bedoeld Simon&amp;nbsp;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En als de mensen gaan vechten voor hun vrijheid en hun aarde, wel, alle menselijke aggressies zullen gericht worden op degenen die ze dingen zien doen of zien doen hebben, niet op de echte schuldigen. De aliens zullen in het verborgene afwachten tot de kust vrij is. Dus daarom hebben ze menselijke handlangers nodig die helpen met de ontvoeringen en de hybridefabrieken. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simon, ik wil dat je het goed begrijpt : jouw aliens zijn Lilith. Lees de legende over Lilith, lees alles over Lilith, en vertel mij dan of je begrijpt wat ik bedoel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simon,&amp;nbsp;de aliens&amp;nbsp;hebben jou verleid met jouw behoefte&amp;nbsp;aan universele&amp;nbsp;kennis en jouw behoefte aan een vader en jouw behoefte om speciaal te zijn. &amp;nbsp;Maar zij, verdomme, zij willen heersen, zij&amp;nbsp;zullen zich nooit onderwerpen en ook nooit mensen als gelijke beschouwen! &amp;nbsp;Jouw uitroep als 6-jarige heeft mij verbaasd, toen jij tegen de alien die jouw zwakke plek leek te kennen,&amp;nbsp; zijnde jouw nood aan een vaderfiguur, uitriep : &quot;Nee! Jij bent mijn vader niet! Jij wil ons tot slaven in kooien maken!&quot;. Je had toen net van de appel der wijsheid gegeten, van de appel die ons goed van kwaad laat onderscheiden.&amp;nbsp;Ja die wijsheid van jou als 6-jarige, ik weet wel waarvan die komt.&amp;nbsp;En jij weet het ook. Uit onze bijbel, van onze Jezus Christus. De zoon van onze schepper, die voor onze zonden stierf. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simon, probeer Jezus, of Maria, of God, of de Heilige Geest&amp;nbsp;in jouw hart te houden. De legende van Lilith zegt&amp;nbsp;dat&amp;nbsp;de aanbidding van (bepaalde) engelen kan beschermen tegen het gevaar dat zij brengt. Ik weet dat je christelijk bent opgevoed. En als je &#39;t mij vraagt,&amp;nbsp;jouw christelijke opvoeding&amp;nbsp;heeft jou als 6-jarige beschermd, het was een schild tegen wat zij met jou van plan waren. Maar speel hierin geen open kaart met de aliens! Zodra zij weten dat je in God gelooft, zullen zij dat zeker misbruiken! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Als je in je Manta-moeder gelooft, als je haar vertrouwt, en dat doe je, vraag haar dan eens&amp;nbsp;die heel gevoelige vraag. Stel haar de meest gevoelige vraag, de vraag die&amp;nbsp;jij uitgesteld hebt, en doe het pardoes, zomaar plots, zomaar uit het niets. Ze zal schrikken, ze zal proberen ontwijken, maar dwing haar te antwoorden... Speel de kapotte plaat&amp;nbsp;bent die blijft hangen. Doe haar antwoord geven, zodat jij kunt oordelen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weet je, Simon, onlangs zag ik een film met&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Tom Cruise in de hoofdrol, wel, jij bent net in dezelfde ellende geraakt als Tom speelt&amp;nbsp;in die film! Tom wordt hier zonder het te beseffen advocaat van&amp;nbsp;een&amp;nbsp;maffiabende, en tegen de tijd dat hij beseft dat hij een marionet is die bespied is door verschillende spelers, lijkt zijn lot al bezegeld. Maar het is de dapperheid en de alertheid&amp;nbsp; van Tom die zijn lot doet keren. Ik denk aan jou Simon als Tom. Ik hoop en geloof dat je de dapperheid en alertheid van Tom hebt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blijf werken met Joanne, ik denk dat dit een goede piste is. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Veel liefs Simon! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In de tweede video vertelt volwassen Simon&amp;nbsp;weer een heleboel belevenissen uit zijn alien jeugd tot in detail, hij heeft geen last van geheugenverlies noch van&amp;nbsp;schaamte of andere diepe emoties, merkwaardig. De emotieloosheid van Simon doet je wel eens afvragen of hij zelf niet alien is, of zoals die andere onderzoeker zei tegen Simon : &quot;Jij hebt de persoonlijkheid van jouw aliens!&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Echter, ik denk dat Simon gewend is om zijn belevenissen te rationaliseren. Dat blijkt wel uit de vierde video, waarin een gehypnotiseerde Simon heel wat meer emotie laat zien. Blijkbaar heeft Simon&amp;nbsp;enige traumatische ervaringen verdrongen, en dat maakt hem voor mij onmiddellijk 100 procent menselijk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Op een bepaald moment moet kleine Simon bij de &quot;Great One&quot; komen. Een spannend moment! Die lelijkaard zit op een troon en heeft bodyguards, enfin een&amp;nbsp;tamelijk hoge piet&amp;nbsp;waarmee zelfs zijn Manta-moeder nog nooit gesproken heeft. Kleine Simon (6 jaar) krijgt van de Great One een alien vrouwtje die op zijn schoot gaat zitten. &quot;Weet je wat je daar moet mee doen?&quot; zegt de leider. &quot;Nee! &quot; zegt kleine Simon. Dus de Great One toont hem hoe hij moet paren. Na het paren vraagt de Great One &quot;Heb je geen zin om haar op te eten nu?&quot; &quot;Nee!&quot; zegt de kleine Simon. De Great One dringt aan en zegt: &quot;Als jij haar opeet, dan word jij mijn zoon en ik jouw vader, en zal ik jou altijd zo behandelen. Maar je kunt me niet opvolgen op de troon&quot;. Dus gehoorzaamt Simon en samen&amp;nbsp;smullen ze hun paringsmaatje op.&amp;nbsp;Het wijfje&amp;nbsp;schreeuwt en krijst als in de hel.&amp;nbsp;Hierna&amp;nbsp;vraagt de&amp;nbsp;Great One : &quot;Zou jij niet graag een koning zijn, een groot krijgsheer die planeet na planeet verovert en ras na ras onderwerpt?&quot;. Simon zegt &quot;Nee!... Nee, sorry&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&quot;Wel, &quot; zegt de leider, &quot;Ik accepteer dat, maar als je van gedacht zou veranderen : het aanbod blijft geldig!&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
Nu, de leider was niet erg gecharmeerd van de kleine Simon, dat kun je wel denken. Simon had talent en kwaliteiten in zijn ogen, maar wat ben je met talent als je totaal geen ambitie hebt. Dus gaf de leider&amp;nbsp;zijn onderdanen opdracht om Simon wat meer&amp;nbsp;te laten proeven van&amp;nbsp;het gevoel van macht. Kleine Simon werd naar een hoog platform gebracht, en vond zichzelf aangestaard door een hele menigte&amp;nbsp;&quot;Greys&quot; onder hem. De mantis zei &quot;Doe je armen allebei omhoog&quot;. Simon stak zijn armen in de lucht.&amp;nbsp;Onmiddellijk reageerde de hele menigte door tegelijk de armen in de lucht te steken. Kleine Simon was verbaasd. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Denk eens even mee met mij!. Simons alien mama is van de Mantis-soort, dat zijn de biddende sprinkhanen, (die aliens zijn zo genoemd omdat ze er&amp;nbsp; uitzien als het bekende insect, alleen véél groter) en kleine Simon is door de Mantisleider opgedragen om&amp;nbsp;zijn Mantisvrouwtje op te eten (het is wel geen echt levend wezen, ze is fictief,&amp;nbsp;door een soort 3D-beeld gemaakt...).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Hier is een duidelijke gelijkenis met wat een Biddende Sprinkhaan op aarde doet : het wijfje eet het mannetje op, soms eet ze zijn kop al helemaal op terwijl ze nog aan het paren zijn! Ze hebben groen bloed. Echt lugubere kannibalen zijn het. In de dierenwereld zijn het altijd de vrouwtjes die de mannetjes opeten, simpelweg omdat de vrouwtjes veel eten nodig hebben om hun nakomelingen groot te krijgen.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Maar bij die seksistische aliens draaien ze de boel doodleuk om : ze laten blijkbaar graag de mannetjes de vrouwtjes opeten, en de Mantisleider legt Simon fijntjes uit dat de vrouwtjes inferieur zijn aan de mannetjes, dat die vrouwtjes er alleen maar zijn voor &quot;de vervanging&quot;. Wij noemen dat reproductie,&amp;nbsp;die gast noemt het &quot;de vervanging&quot;. Enfin!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het wordt nog luguberder. De interviewster stelt dé vraag der vragen, namelijk :&amp;nbsp;&quot;Wat is nu eigenlijk het&amp;nbsp;grote doel van die aliens? Waar zijn die&amp;nbsp;mee bezig zeg?&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
En dan geeft Simon heel koel het antwoord dat elk normaal denkend&amp;nbsp;mens zelf zou kunnen beredeneren, namelijk : &quot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Wel, ze willen de aarde herbevolken met een goed aangepast hybrideras in een periode dat de aarde dunbevolkt is. &quot; ..... Slik....&lt;br /&gt;
Stel het je maar eens voor : onze mooie Aarde in de klauwen van zo&#39;n kannibalistisch gevoelloos sprinkhanenras! En wij mensen&amp;nbsp;in ghetto&#39;s opgesloten en als slaven hun vuile werk moeten doen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Komt er een invasie?&quot; vraagt de interviewster een beetje lacherig.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Nee, tuurlijk niet,&quot; lacht Simon, &quot;als ze ons zo zouden willen overmeesteren, dan zouden ze dat al lang gedaan hebben. Nee, het zal een geleidelijk proces zijn.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;En is dat proces al begonnen?&quot; vraagt de interviewster.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Ja, in zekere mate wel, &quot; zegt Simon, &quot;maar niet op grote schaal. Ze moeten eerst nog uitvinden hoe ze zich in onze fysieke dimensie langdurig kunnen handhaven.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Het doemt meteen voor mijn ogen op : ergens moeten er Sprinkhaanmensen stiekem tussen ons zitten! Hou je ogen dus maar goed open, je buurman zou wel eens niet kunnen zijn wie jij denkt dat hij is. Wist je dat het biddende sprinkhaanras een meester in vermomming is? Ze noemen hem niet voor niets het perfecte roofdier! Het is een geniepigaard tot en met, vermomt zich als een lieflijk orchideetje of als een onschuldig vergaan blaadje, tot jij dicht genoeg bent en dan slaat hij snel en genadeloos toe, klemt jou in zijn&amp;nbsp;weerhaakachtige poten en eet jou levend op met kaken gelijk scheermesjes! Waarna hij zich&amp;nbsp;zorgvuldig wast&amp;nbsp;zoals een kat, want zijn grootste vijand is de schimmel, onthoud dat maar, het kan je nog van pas komen.&lt;br /&gt;
Ook Simon&#39;s Manta-mama is een supergoed vermommer. Ze doet zich voor als een kat, of een clown, of als zijn echte moeder, wat ook maar in haar kraam past op dat moment. Je ziet : die grote&amp;nbsp;alien sprinkhaan en onze aardse kleine sprinkhaan hebben serieus wat gemeen! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Een ander iets dat je moet weten over de Biddende Sprinkhaan : ze heeft heel goede facetogen! Tegen de tijd dat jij dat beestje ontdekt hebt, heeft het jou al eeuwen in de gaten! Spijtig genoeg geldt dat ook voor Simon&#39;s buitenaardse sprinkhaan, dat ie ons al eeuwen in de gaten heeft, maar wij&amp;nbsp;zien hem niet. &lt;br /&gt;
Maar we hebben nog altijd Simon, die ziet &#39;m. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Er is nog iets wat ik verdacht vind aan de kleine Biddende Sprinkhaansoort. Waarom&amp;nbsp;is zijn bijnaam&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#39;het buitenaardse insect&#39;? Men zegt dat dat is omdat hij&amp;nbsp;zo&#39;n rare&amp;nbsp;driehoekige kop heeft. Maar volgens mij zit er meer achter dan dat.&amp;nbsp;Deze insectensoort leeft al 50 miljoen jaar op aarde, en het is in al die tijd geen haar veranderd. De exemplaren in oeroude barnsteen zien er nog net zo uit als nu, veel evolutie kwam er weer niet bij te pas. Dit insect is niet alleen het perfecte roofdier (hij eet slangen en muizen!), maar ook de perfecte overlever! Hoeveel ijstijden, meteorietinslagen&amp;nbsp;en aardse catastrofes heeft dit insect wel niet overleefd? Ik wil het niet weten. Je gaat er te veel respect&amp;nbsp;door krijgen voor dit kannibaaltje. </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/feeds/1277178671519553825/comments/default' title='Reacties posten'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/2012/11/over-simon-vervolg.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4721288764676000656/posts/default/1277178671519553825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4721288764676000656/posts/default/1277178671519553825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/2012/11/over-simon-vervolg.html' title='Over Simon (vervolg)'/><author><name>Ingrid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01496316748852568674</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGPJOq9jGHiXtOuazszFZUH1qeq-iKkgYpid80EecxFA6AlmvzYOP0DqTGD9gyIkKiB20fw0krmKjAncZ-0NwMGkKQ8CyMg813XvV54oX6uOxfmGsUHbCCbkLcPAhridE/s220/IMG_6458.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721288764676000656.post-6516498470561628553</id><published>2012-09-05T00:13:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2013-03-15T16:23:14.046+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Zonnebrandcrème factor 6</title><content type='html'>Kun je zelf zonnebrandcrème maken?

&lt;br /&gt;
Je hebt er een &lt;strong&gt;keukenweegschaal&lt;/strong&gt; en een &lt;strong&gt;kookthermometer &lt;/strong&gt;voor nodig.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik zat er al heel de zomer mee in mijn hoofd, en vanavond was dé avond... &lt;br /&gt;
Slechts 8 ingrediënten heb ik gebruikt en geloof me, het is een mooie crème geworden. Die heb ik in een tube gestopt in plaats van in een pot, zulke lege tubes zijn verkrijgbaar.&lt;br /&gt;
Het zonnecrèmerecept is een door mij zelf bedacht en berekend recept, een&amp;nbsp;nieuw recept dus.&amp;nbsp;Ik heb ingrediënten gekozen die goed zijn voor droge huid.&amp;nbsp; Ik heb als zonnefilter 3,5% Sofitix gebruikt en&amp;nbsp;heb berekend&amp;nbsp;dat deze hoeveelheid mijn crème factor 6&amp;nbsp;à 7 geeft. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik ga deze crème gebruiken deze nazomer en herfst :want ik fiets veel buiten&amp;nbsp;en ik wil geen pigmentvlekken krijgen op de blootgestelde huid.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc; color: #20124d;&quot;&gt;2) Verwarm de lotion tot 70 graden (gedistilleerd water moet gekookt worden en laten koelen tot 70 graden)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sofi Tix is een filter bestaand uit titaandyoxide en zinkoxyde. SoFi Tix beschermt u zowel tegen UVA als UVB licht. Omdat de pigmentdeeltjes extra fijn zijn wordt een crème met dit product niet wit en ook op de huid geeft het een doorschijnend effect.&lt;br /&gt;
Met 5 % SoFi-Tix kunt u een zonbescherming behalen van ca. 10 en met 10 % van 20. Minerale filters (SoFi-Tix ) werken in tegenstelling tot chemische filters gelijk na het opbrengen van het product. Na het zwemmen moet de crème opnieuw opgebracht worden.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Yesterday I told you I needed&amp;nbsp;a &#39;scrub potion&#39; in my shower to remove dead skin cells and other unwanted stuff that is&amp;nbsp;stuck on the skin over time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This evening I&amp;nbsp;made this :&lt;br /&gt;
﻿﻿&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Bodyscrub : sugar, almond, honey&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
﻿&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;RECIPE BODYSCRUB FOR DRY SKIN:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;50 gr. fluid honey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;50 gr.&amp;nbsp;sweet almond oil &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;50 gr. almond powder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;80 gr. cane sugar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
50 gr. is&amp;nbsp;4 soup spoons and 80 gr. is 6 soup spoons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Mix the fluid honey with the oil&amp;nbsp;(at a low microwave temperature):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;goog_1209356150&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;goog_1209356151&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
2) Mix the cane sugar with the almond powder :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mix 1) and 2) together with a spoon&amp;nbsp;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNLgBvbeRV_IMsTC-5qrUGt62neF6Od1ZBi0EhHQFvhoG_C4A8D5yEGLW0GOft3PuOqo00s2igVFPrwWprTarzcBio_aMxKQVRElPkdOw-tKgw_ikb6J9BZkl9yKWkHPczFLDpRbXkh0pT/s1600/scrub+036.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNLgBvbeRV_IMsTC-5qrUGt62neF6Od1ZBi0EhHQFvhoG_C4A8D5yEGLW0GOft3PuOqo00s2igVFPrwWprTarzcBio_aMxKQVRElPkdOw-tKgw_ikb6J9BZkl9yKWkHPczFLDpRbXkh0pT/s320/scrub+036.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
And that&#39;s it! You can add a colour (some drops of food colour) or a smell (some drops of essential oil). Put the scrub in a&amp;nbsp;can, then put it in your shower or bathtub.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;You can use it about&amp;nbsp;6 to 8&amp;nbsp;times. No more than twice a week. Just rub it gently in circles on your moist skin. It will clean your skin thoroughly and make it feel soft as a peach. If someone touches you, they&#39;ll say your skin is so soft.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;nbsp;got this recipe from&amp;nbsp;CYRILLE SAURA ZELLWEGER&lt;br /&gt;
with her&amp;nbsp;fantastic book : &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4HUuC28bigkvhfdls9HFBLff1LI1GExdRWZNvJ3Rrmo_ds6hGWkgToyNWm16_5NKTW71qv5XPyTRvtpEpVKwTCfZwmUfhMOezYUz7yuROE5TJsFjiDUM4D5eBgAlE8D3lOXJ09-DKY6CI/s1600/scrub+004+(800x533).jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
Here you see the ingredients I chose : I used sesame oil instead of sweet almond oil, and for the smell&amp;nbsp;I used the little green botlle : almond aroma (used in food).&amp;nbsp; I tasted the scrub, it tastes like....&lt;br /&gt;
MARZIPAN!!!! Of course!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now all I have to do is take a shower and test my own beauty product. ﻿﻿</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/feeds/5496039115837390733/comments/default' title='Reacties posten'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/2012/09/marzipan-skinscrub.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4721288764676000656/posts/default/5496039115837390733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4721288764676000656/posts/default/5496039115837390733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flesjes-potjes.blogspot.com/2012/09/marzipan-skinscrub.html' title='Marzipan Skinscrub!'/><author><name>Ingrid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01496316748852568674</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGPJOq9jGHiXtOuazszFZUH1qeq-iKkgYpid80EecxFA6AlmvzYOP0DqTGD9gyIkKiB20fw0krmKjAncZ-0NwMGkKQ8CyMg813XvV54oX6uOxfmGsUHbCCbkLcPAhridE/s220/IMG_6458.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-dXSLk86RQHbwwjzQSEB_xf5iaGBggp3vaB0w5eOZMnuzT3D4jEzKK7CvSMiEVsL6b-dXJ13yaBTO5wvcoqGiYPZfHGPiK4QevHVSDRi0Yy7tAjD9WKcETf8JY_ZnCb2NbbJql8BW3mI/s72-c/scrub+038+(533x800).jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721288764676000656.post-6761314339293342791</id><published>2012-08-24T12:03:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2012-08-24T12:03:47.712+02:00</updated><title type='text'>SHEABUTTER</title><content type='html'>Ken je dat : Galamboter?&amp;nbsp;Gekend als&amp;nbsp;sheabutter, of beurre de karité :&lt;br /&gt;

Het is het beste wat deze planeet te bieden heeft aan de droge huid!&lt;br /&gt;
Ik maak &quot;Whipped Shea&quot; en gebruik het als kuurmiddel om mijn huid te normaliseren.&amp;nbsp;Ik hou van die crème! Het is ook zowat de simpelste crème die er bestaat denk ik.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Whipped Shea-crème&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Recept Whipped Shea 30 gram&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;: (35 ml, goed voor een kuur van 2 weken)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;18 gram sheaboter&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;12 gram zoete&amp;nbsp;amandelolie (of een andere koudgeperste plantenolie naar uw keuze)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik parfumeer het met 2 drupjes kokos parfumolie (kan &#39;t niet laten) en 10 drupjes amandelaroma van Vahiné, dit laatste is te vinden&amp;nbsp;bij de bakkersbenodigdheden van de supermarkten. Heerlijk geurtje!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Werkwijze&lt;/strong&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;
Verwarm&amp;nbsp;de sheaboter 40 seconden in de microgolf ( au bain-marie&amp;nbsp;is ook goed) &amp;nbsp;en prak het, klop het tot een romige botercrème. Doe de amandelolie (andere olie gaat ook goed) erbij en mix het met een minimixertje. Of mixen met de hand met&amp;nbsp;een staafje of lepeltje, dat is geen probleem. Dan eventueel de drupjes parfum eronder roeren. In een potje doen en klaar!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Er zijn soms korreltjes in de crème, probeer de shea&amp;nbsp;langzaam te verwarmen, dat schijnt te helpen.&lt;br /&gt;
De crème is vettig,&amp;nbsp;ik gebruik hem voor het slapengaan. Je kunt het overtollige vet op je huid wegdeppen&amp;nbsp;met een blaadje toiletpapier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Over de ingrediënten :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sheaboter bestaat in geraffineerde en ruwe versie. De geraffineerde versie is van geur en kleur ontdaan. Het is wit en bijna&amp;nbsp;geurloos. Spijtig genoeg zijn er dan ook&amp;nbsp;de meeste&amp;nbsp;vitaminen uit, en die wil ik toch wel erin! De ruwe, koudgeperste versie is gelig en heeft een typische geur, die ik steeds lekkerder ben gaan vinden. Die moet je hebben!&amp;nbsp;Ik koop het bij Spinnrad in Gent. Je kunt het&amp;nbsp;op internet&amp;nbsp;kopen (is er iets wat je niet online kunt kopen? ... Ja : liefde! :-)). En Yves Rocher heeft&amp;nbsp;sheaboter verpakt&amp;nbsp;in een mooi potje voor jou! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zoete amandelolie is fijn. Jojoba-olie ook : duur maar lang houdbaar&amp;nbsp;. Druivenpitolie is ook veel gebruikt voor lichaamsverzorging, trekt goed in,&amp;nbsp;die vind je nu goedkoop in de winkelrekken. De olijfolie staat ook goedkoop tegenwoordig. &amp;nbsp;Er bestaan heel veel leuke plantenolieën, ik heb er een collectie van. Ik vind abrikozenpitolie het lekkerste, het heeft een lekker geurtje. En wil je helemaal bio gaan, koop dan bio-sesamolie, dat heeft wel weer een geur waar je moet van houden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
Welkom op &#39;Flesjes&amp;amp;Potjes&#39;,&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
---&amp;nbsp;een beauty-blog over Doe-Het-Zelf-Beauty---&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik ga van start met een&amp;nbsp;verhaal over&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;gezichtsreiniging&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Elke ochtend en avond horen we ons gezicht te reinigen, best wel een klus.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Make-up, zweet, vuil, het moet er af...&amp;nbsp;Sommigen doen dat gewoon met &lt;strong&gt;zeep&lt;/strong&gt;. Maar&amp;nbsp;bij mij werkt dat niet,&amp;nbsp;als ik dat zou doen dan had ik geen gezichtshuid meer, dan was het zeker perkament geworden!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Want ik heb een &lt;strong&gt;gevoelige en droge&lt;/strong&gt; huid. Dus ik moet wel een beetje opletten wat ik erop smeer. Zeep gaat niet, dat is veel te basisch, droogt mijn huid uit. Mijn huid wil&amp;nbsp;liever producten die de pH van 5,5 benaderen, een beetje zure producten dus. Verder wil ik niet te veel chemische rommel op mijn huid, ik ben voorstander van &#39;groene producten&#39;. Je weet wel : zoveel mogelijk natuur en zo weinig mogelijk chemie.&amp;nbsp;Toch zeker wat mijn huidverzorging betreft. &amp;nbsp;Daarom ben ik zelf cosmetica gaan maken. Dat is niet zo moeilijk als je denkt! Als het jou leuk lijkt, of als je het al doet, volg mij dan op deze nieuwe blog, en begin&amp;nbsp;nu lege&lt;strong&gt; flesjes en potjes&lt;/strong&gt; te sparen, vooral als ze van glas zijn!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, ik ben deze zomer in Venetië geweest en in het glasmuseum op Murano heb ik een collectie glazen antieken flesjes gezien die mij helemaal gek maakten, zo mooi, zo schattig!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vandaag ben ik creatief geweest op beauty-gebied. Ik heb 4 gezichtslotions zelf gemaakt. Ja, ik kon er niet genoeg van krijgen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;Hamamelislotion, Kamillelotion, Goudsbloemenlotion en Lavendel-Rozen-lotion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; De kamillelotion rook het&amp;nbsp;lekkerste&amp;nbsp;dus heb ik die meteen uitgetest. Ik was verbaasd over hoe zacht mijn gezichtshuid ervan werd, ik bleef maar voelen aan mijn wangetjes, zo zacht! :-). Het is een tonic, een waterig product&amp;nbsp;dus, te gebruiken na&amp;nbsp;de reinigingsmelk of -olie. Hierbij het exacte recept :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KAMILLELOTION voor gezichtsreiniging, 200 ml&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
250 ml gedestilleerd water&lt;br /&gt;
23 gram verse bloemhoofdjes van echte kamille (Matricaria recutita)&lt;br /&gt;
1 theelepel vodka&lt;br /&gt;
1 theelepel glycerine&lt;br /&gt;
2 theelepels aloe vera-gel&lt;br /&gt;
12 druppen Parabeen-K&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Werkwijze&lt;/u&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;
Maak &lt;strong&gt;thee&lt;/strong&gt; van de verse kamille. Dus kook het gedestilleerd water en giet het over de bloempjes. Laat 15 minuten trekken. Giet door een zeefje in een grote maatbeker. Zitten er nog plantendeeltjes in, giet dan opnieuw door een zakdoek.&amp;nbsp; Laat koelen. &lt;br /&gt;
In een &lt;strong&gt;apart glazen potje&lt;/strong&gt; meng je nu de vodka, de glycerine, de aloe vera-gel en de Parabeen-K. Rustig roeren, je hoeft er geen luchtbellen in te roeren. Voeg dit bij de gekoelde thee. &lt;br /&gt;
Doe alles in een proper flesje en plak er een etiket op met de houdbaarheidsdatum, die is 6 maanden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Over de ingrediënten&lt;/u&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;
De&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;kamille&lt;/strong&gt; kun je vervangen door rozemarijntakjes, of lavendel, viooltjes, goudsbloemen, of hamamelisbladeren. Al die bloemen zijn goed voor&amp;nbsp;de huid. &lt;br /&gt;
De &lt;strong&gt;vodka&lt;/strong&gt; : alcohol is uitdrogend, maar het is wel fris reinigend . In die kleine hoeveelheid vind ik het een goed compromis. Je kunt het weglaten als je het niet vertrouwt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Glycerine&lt;/strong&gt; : moet de alcohol compenseren. Een verzorgend goedje dus. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Aloe vera-gel:&lt;/strong&gt; heb ik op Lanzarote gekocht, er staat op &quot;100 % sap&quot;, maar dat is natuurlijk niet waar, daar zitten bewaarmiddelen in. Ik vind het een goed product omdat het zuur is. &lt;br /&gt;
De &lt;strong&gt;Parabeen-K&lt;/strong&gt; is een bewaarmiddel, zonder dat zou mijn lotion wellicht al na 2 weken beginnen schimmelen. Als je iets tegen parabenen hebt, kun je Heliozimt gebruiken, maar dat ruikt wel sterk.&lt;br /&gt;
