The CE4 CornerJuly/August, 2003, A Stadium full of mystery(c) 2013 by Craig R. Lang, MS CHtwww.explorewithhypnosismn.com

This afternoon (on Sunday 6/30/2013 as I write this), while in the stands at a Twins game at Target field, I thought a bit about the number of people there. At any given game, there are probably on the order of about 30 thousand people in the stadium. Later, as we were waiting to get out of the parking ramp, the long line of cars again caused me to again consider some of those numbers. With a Twin Cities metro area of three million people this is about one percent of the metro population.

The number one percent rings a very loud bell to anyone who follows the close encounter phenomenon very closely. This is about the percentage of the population that seems to be affected by the close encounter phenomenon. Thus, the number of people in Target field on a typical Twins game is about the same as the number of experiencers in the Twin Cities metro area.

The immediate question to ask - Is the one percent figure accurate? This number is loosely based on the answers to several polls, including the Roper Poll of unusual experiences [http://www.viewzone.com/abduct.html] . Estimates by different researchers range from 1/10th of a percent to as high as 10 percent. Many researchers suggest that it is about two percent, yet my own gut feel is that this number is a bit high. To me, the one percent figure rings true.

At least one poll done since the Roper polls seem to corroborate Roper's results [http://crab.rutgers.edu/~goertzel/UFO.htm], even though the numbers vary to some degree depending upon how one asks the questions. Yet the estimates remain about the same, roughly one to two percent of the population meet the criteria of being close encounter experiencers.

The numbers are staggering to think about. The population of abductees in the Twin Cities area would nearly fill a stadium the size of Target Field. Or put another way, imagine the entire attendance of the afternoon's baseball game being experiencers.

I recently finished reading the book, Children of the Grays, by Bret Oldham. In the book, Oldham describes in great detail what it is like to be an abductee. He describes the emotional ordeals and the physical challenges abductees go through. Most of all, he describes the isolation from his peers and family due to his burden of knowledge - the awareness of contact with beings from elsewhere.

His accounts offer us something else - they allow us to estimate how often he might have been abducted. From his descriptions, it appears it occurred something like once per week during some periods of his life. At other times, his interaction tapers off to zero, but if his experiences are typical, it would seem (a very arm-wavy estimate) to average out to 10 to 20 times per year during the reproductive years, lets say ages 13 to 45. this is about one third to one half of a person's life. So if a person is abducted about 20 times per year over half their life, we can average it out to 10 per year overall.

30 thousand people times 10 events per year yields 300 thousand events per year in the Twin Cities metro area, or about one thousand events per 24 hour period. One thousand abductions - that's one whopping huge amount of alien abduction activity. My own bet is that Bret Oldham's experiences were/are probably more frequent than the norm. From my own work with experiencers, it would appear that the average rate is more like once per year (1/10th the number described above), clustered in intense bursts of activity at "times of interest" in the experiencer's life. So if we divide the numbers above by 10, we get about 100 abductions per 24 hour period, still a lot of alien activity. While these numbers involve a lot of guesswork, the bottom line is inescapable. The Grays are really busy little aliens.

In a number of cases, he describes seeing humans - some times a lot of them - in the alien realm. This is quite similar to what a number of abductees have told me. On a number of occasions, experiencers have described being taken to a learning hall, or to a large assembly area, in which a large number of people were present. It often seems that the majority of them are in a comatose level of trance, or otherwise oblivious to what is going on. They seem like some large group population experiment or manipulation.

Oldham also describes seeing human(oid) beings in the alien realm, apparently working with the visitors. Are these beings human or some humanoid life form? If they are indeed human, are they from Earth? Are they some of us, humans drafted by the aliens to help in the process of - well, whatever they are doing? Are these part of the abductee population? Do they figure into the one percent? More mysteries...

If there are one hundred to one thousand people being abducted per night, where are all these people being taken? Do they all meet each other, or does

the abduction phenomenon focus on each person individually, in isolation? Many abductees describe seeing other abductees in the alien realm. Thus, at least to some extent, different peoples' encounters seem to occur in a common location.

Researchers often focus on the question of whether the phenomenon really is physical. Does it occupy physical space, occur during physical time and involve actual material beings that carry humans away into the night? Or is there another explanation?

Graham Hancock, John Mack, Jacques Vallee and many others have suggested that at least in part, there is a non-physical element to the UFO/close encounter phenomenon. Perhaps they exist primarily in a psychic (non-physical) reality, as Carl Jung suggested [Jung, Flying Saucers], manifesting in our reality only when needed.

But as a result of a number of investigations [see NW WI Experiencer case], we can conclude that at least some close encounters are real and leave physical traces. In addition, we know that to the experiencer, close encounters are very real, indeed. I think we can conclude that at some point, the phenomenon must enter the physical world. Perhaps as many as 100 to 1000 times per night, strange beings enter our physical reality and interact with humans.

The number of people involved could indeed fill Target field, and with each experiencer, each encounter brings us a myriad of questions. And in the end, we are left with an endless puzzle. It is the equivalent of a thirty-thousand person stadium full of mystery.

British UFO Document Release Designed to Deflect Public and Media Interest

Says Former Ministry of Defence UFO Specialist

Robert Hastings, Jun 26, 2013 http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/26/uk-ufo-documents-idUSnPNDC38491+1e0+PRN20130626

WASHINGTON, June 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A claim by the British Ministry of Defence that UFOs have no defense significance is "designed solely to keep Parliament, the media and the public off our backs," according to former MoD UFO Desk administrator Nick Pope.

Pope's startling statement was in response to the MoD's release last week of what it says is its final

2

batch of UFO documents. Official MoD spokesmen and one self-styled UFO expert, David Clarke, claim that the MoD found no evidence of a UFO threat to the UK and, therefore, closed its UFO Desk. The subsequent, widely-publicized declassification of its UFO documents—the implication being that nothing remained hidden—was intended to demonstrate the MoD's public transparency on the UFO issue.

In reality, Pope says, "the UK's Freedom of Information Act contains wide-ranging exemptions covering areas such as defense, security and intelligence" and the newly-available documents had already been "judged to be unclassified" before their release.

Regarding David Clarke, Pope says, "Some people would probably use the term 'useful idiot' to describe his parroting the MoD 'no defense significance' sound bite."

These and other provocative comments by Pope have just been published in an article by UFOs and Nukes researcher Robert Hastings, who discovered a credible UFO involvement in the famous Rendlesham Forest/RAF Bentwaters case, which occurred in Suffolk, England.

Hastings interviewed the two U.S. Air Force air traffic controllers on duty at Bentwaters during a week of UFO activity there, and the nearby forest, in December 1980, who say they tracked a bona fide UFO on radar and saw the object hover—it appeared as an orange-colored sphere—before it raced away.

Hastings says that the UFO later hovered near the USAF's Weapons Storage Area (WSA), containing tactical nuclear bombs, and directed laser-like beams down into the facility. Bentwaters' former deputy base commander, now-retired Col. Charles Halt, first acknowledged the dramatic incident in 1991, saying that he had heard frantic radio chatter from Security Policemen at the WSA, describing the UFO and the beams, while he was investigating reports of strange lights in nearby Rendlesham Forest.

Hastings says, "If the incident at the WSA actually occurred, and it appears that it did, then UFOs do indeed pose a defense threat to the UK."

UFOs Vikings and Bigfoots Part IIIBy Doc Vega - July 2, 2013

http://www.ufodigest.com/article/ufos-vikings-bigfoots-part-iii-0702

In 928 A.D. Ibn Fadian, an Arab and Muslim follower was on a mission ordered as an ambassadorial emissary by the Caliph of Bagdad to make contact with the King of Bulgars. As fate would have it, he never completed his mission. Ibn was captured by a war party of Vikings. Although he was in their custody he was treated with tolerant respect by his mighty hosts who would take him on an incredible journey and even enlist him as a comrade in their exploits. Although he was often ridiculed for his belief in one God “Allah” and was the butt of their jokes for his squeamishness at the sight of blood and atrocity, Ibn became respected and accepted by his Viking captors as an equal as time went by.

Not only is the Ibn Fadian manuscript revered for its depiction of early of Viking society, but it may be the first and only civilized and documented account of one of the last surviving pockets of organized Neanderthal existence. That testimony is evident in his accounts of doing battle with the Wendol, a name given to these man beasts by the mighty Vikings who feared them even though they fought them with incredible valor.

Who could they be?

Lloyd Pye, who I have written about in previous articles, has somewhat revolutionized the theory of just who and what Sasquatch or Bigfoot really is. In his estimation, the frequent and varied sightings of Big Foot in just about all climate realms in which man exists and then in even higher altitudes in remote parts of the world such as the Himalayas of Tibet and the Urals of Russia. Lloyd Pye is joined in his findings by the findings of Jeff Meldrum, Professor of Anthropology Idaho State University and the late Grover Krantz, Professor of Physical Anthropology Washington State University. Whereas Meldrum and Krantz consider Big Foot to be related to Gigantopithecus, a giant Gorilla of Asia who could have migrated along the Aleutian Island Chain to North America, Lloyd Pye’s theory

3

is that Sasquatch is actually the modern surviving species of Neanderthal man, who is still thriving in limited numbers.

Professor Grover Krantz postulated that Big Foot existed in large numbers in the millions of square miles of the Pacific Northwest. He felt that a population of 1200 would not have been impossible. Meldrum is well known for his rigorous analysis of the Patterson Film which depicts a controversial upright walking man ape creature retreating into the timber of northern California. Another expert, Jimmy Chilcutt, who specializes in finger prints and for 18 years assisted police in forensic investigations, says that Big Foot prints show real dermal ridges that are only characteristic of the species. No other species of ape or man leaves these types dermal ridges in either tracks or finger print impressions. Meldrum has used Chilcutt’s work to buttress his case for the existence of Big Foot.

Ibn Fadian’s manuscript is considered possible documented or corroborating evidence of Neanderthal society still managing to co-exist in the age of Homo sapiens. Of course modern science will challenge the accuracy of Ibn Fadian’s observations, but skepticism has always existed in the prelude to great discoveries. The Wendol, as the Vikings referred to them, are a chilling chapter in the hidden history that eludes the reticence of modern science that has often scoffed at later to be proven evidence. The crypto zoological field has produced many successful findings that conventional science has chosen to ignore.

The feared confrontation begins

On the first night that Buliwyf and his war party arrived at the Kingdom of Rothgar to the apprehension of Ibn Fadian who thought his Viking comrades to be unprepared to do battle, they feasted, drank, and finally slept. However, Ibn was unable to attain slumber. He lay awake worrying and after barely drifting off, heard animal-like grunts and groans along with footsteps. In the darkest hour of the night with sudden ferocity the gigantic doors to the King’s hall of Rothgar were crashed open. The sleeping Vikings sprang to their feet and began to do battle with the monsters as they savagely attacked from a cloak of mist that had hung over the Kingdom that night.

A gruesome trophy

A vicious fight ensued as the marauding Wendol tried to slaughter all there. Ibn himself was picked up and thrown across the room, landing against a wall, and falling to the floor. Herger ran to his side to see if Ibn was all right as the incredible battle raged on. Finally after what seemed like hours, the Wendol withdrew as quickly as they had sprang upon the Vikings. Like phantoms they left with hardly a trace, but there was evidence of their presence there. One Viking warrior had the severed arm of a Wendol which he proudly raised above his head as they others cheered. They examined the arm cut off by a Viking sword. It was muscular and very hairy yet shorter in length than a human arm.

Lloyd Pye attested to the robust structure of Neanderthals. Their dense bone structure that was tougher than human bone indicates also the denser muscles of Neanderthal. As Lloyd puts it, the Neanderthal could pop a human’s head and was probably so strong that it could even take on the predatory cats of their time. Remember that Ibn talks of being picked up and thrown across a room. The Neanderthals were also known to have observed an afterlife as evidence was clearly abundant in archeological ruins that they buried their dead. This is why when the Wendol withdrew from combat they took their dead with them. This also lent credence to their phantom-like reputation among humans who had seen the aftermath of their atrocities and feared them.

Lloyd Pye’s findings shed light on a mystery

Keep in mind if what Lloyd Pye attributes to Neanderthal was true, then it was only the superior swordsmanship and weaponry of the mighty Vikings that overcame their more powerful assailants (the Wendol) along with their sheer courage. This might also account for how the inventiveness of Homo sapiens ensured the downfall of the more robust Neanderthal unable to cope with a well-organized and technically advanced species of competing hominids (modern man).

Ibn Fadian evaluated their victory over the “Mist Monsters” as they were called, who had terrorized Rothgar. They had beaten back the Wendol, but there had been a price to pay. One of the Vikings had been wounded badly. The women fixed him a broth of onion and garlic. When it was drank if there was a sword injury that pierced the abdomen or stomach the women could smell the onions and

4

garlic through the punctured flesh and muscle. This usually meant that it was a mortal wound, but the healing powers of the Vikings were legendary as well.

Even though the warrior was perhaps fatally wounded, he laughed and joked with the others and continued to eat and drink as if nothing had happened. This was the nature of the Vikings that often amazed and appalled Ibn Fadian as he accompanied them on their quests and battles. Even in victory Buliwyf was not satisfied of the outcome. They had repelled the Wendol but he and the people of Rothgar knew that this would only lead to another more vicious attack than the first. The next day the Vikings conducted strenuous construction of fortifications regardless of the sleep they had lost. As Ibn walked around exhausted and barely able to stay awake he marveled at the Vikings who worked digging motes, assembling wooden barriers, and fashioning weapons. Ibn was amazed at their tenacity. Soon the night came. The defenses were not finished, but Buliwyf left them as they were and once again as night fell, the Vikings did not feast as the inhabitants of Rothgar agonized over the near future. Neither did they drink mead once again and pass out from intoxication. On this night the Wendol would not come. As the sunset turned to night it was observed that the mist from the highlands was not forming upon the elevated grounds and slopes. This meant that the Wendol, who always attacked beneath the veil of a mist, would not attack without it.

No celebration after the initial victory

As was the tradition of the Vikings, the nobleman of Rothgar who had been killed by the Wendol while fighting them, that their bodies were erected at the top of the kingdom’s roof for the prescribed 10 days prior to being sent out to for an ocean burial in fiery vessels. The mood among the Vikings was somber in expectation of the next battle. Ibn still could not figure out the Vikings who seemed to do everything in contradiction to what he would anticipate. According to Ibn Fadian the “Northmen” as he called them (Vikings) who would drink day and night did not do so prior to battle. The severed arm of the Wendol was not strung up on a ceiling beam of the great hall of Rothgar.

So, rather than rejoicing over their victory over the Mist Monsters (Wendol) there was no drinking or merriment. You might recall that there were only two things that Ibn had said the Northmen feared-sea serpents and the Mist Monsters! It is clear that

as being perhaps the most formidable warriors in human history, fighting the powerful Wendol who are suspected as being Neanderthals who were massively strong, was no small feat, and little to look forward to. To their credit, the Northmen, as Ibn called them had managed at using their superior skills to defeat a strong and feared enemy.

Taking on a Neanderthal

Consider that Chimpanzees are 4 times as strong as a normal man. According to Lloyd Pye who made a joking comparison about Chimp and human strength, said that even Heavy Weight Champion, Mike Tyson, would have no chance against a Chimpanzee if it were a fight to the death and the Chimp knew it, even if the little primate came away from the fight losing a piece of his ear. There is no telling just what kind of power the Vikings were up against and had to overcome with only better weapons and tactics, but they had to have been very brave in order to do so. Lloyd Pye references the description of most Big Foot as being huge, tall, massively powerful, and weighing 800 lbs. or more. Lloyd Pye says that Big Foot are nocturnal which would tend to corroborate the attacks from the Mist Monsters at night. Witnesses say that they have seen Sasquatch run through dense brush that would stop a person, with the swiftness of a deer.

This manuscript is so lengthy that it will take a Part IV to wrap up the exciting end to a climactic story that tells us the outcome of a do or die conflict with the Mist Monsters who must be finally defeated lest the Kingdom of Rothgar remain within their menacing grasp. What will the fate of the small band of Viking warriors be? You will find out in Part IV.

UNLIMITED ENERGYBy William I. McNeff

If we could just utilize the unlimited source of energy that the extraterrestrials use in their craft, our energy shortage would be over. We, the whole world, would become very prosperous, because we would have unlimited energy to run tractors to cultivate crops, manufacture goods, build housing and transportation systems, etc. A golden age could ensue for all of mankind. That is one of the reasons I am investigating and writing about UFOs. There is a lot of evidence that the military and the government recovered a number of crashed alien craft starting as early as 1941. There is good documentation for at least a dozen crashes. Einstein wrote to Pres. Roosevelt about these

5

“celestrial (sic) gifts.” (I will not criticize Einstein’s English spelling, which I am sure was a lot better than my German spelling.)

By now, the government through some of the “think tanks” like Battelle Institute has done their best to back-engineer them. So far, by some accounts, this back-engineering has yielded the transistor, the integrated circuit, bullet proof vests, “memory metal”, and per some shadowy stories, “anti-gravity”, better called “artificial gravity”. This latter is being used for, guess what, military aircraft. If true, it could be put to much better uses also. No doubt, these craft will probably be sent over foreign countries, will crash and fall into the hands of other governments, and eventually this technology will become well known and finally put to good uses.

As Roger Kvande wrote in “Extraterrestrial Odyssey”, describing the power source of the craft which abducted him on several occasions, “Within a torus containing a hard vacuum, is a universe-sized source of energy. Using this natural source of energy, the craft can travel through time and space. In the central chamber, what looks like a sculptured support pole is a focal point and an accumulator for gravitational waves coming from mini-black holes bubbling up and back from the Planck level (releasing gravitational waves). The toroid is just below the floor of the central circular chamber. Gravitational forces are distorted into a local field that can interact with gravitational forces in our universe. The craft can grab hold of gravitational forces.” Below is shown the “Gravity Drive”:

This energy technology needs to be released to benefit humanity. Of course, any technology that could be used to produce a new super-weapon should be carefully controlled. That’s why we have governments and government secrets.

Of course, if there are really no visiting alien craft, this all becomes moot. But based on what about a

dozen of my friends and family and I have seen, and what thousands of people have reported, I believe that the mountain of data on UFOs and ETs is very good evidence for their existence.

‘Deathbed testimony’ about UFOs given by former CIA official (VIDEO)

Posted by: Jason McClellan May 3, 2013http://www.openminds.tv/deathbed-testimony-about-ufos-

given-by-former-cia-official-video-1002/

Video testimony by an anonymous alleged former CIA official was shown at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on Friday, May 3: http://vimeo.com/jeremycorbell/witness

UFO author and historian Richard Dolan interviewed “Anonymous” on March 5, 2013. Facing impending kidney failure, this individual felt compelled to disclose secret information he feels is too important to keep secret. In the video, he claims to have served in the U.S. Army, worked for the CIA, and worked on the U.S. Air Force’s Project Blue Book–one of the USAF’s official studies of UFOs. And he refers to the project as “partially a fraud.” Asking for clarification, Dolan states, “You’re saying some of the Blue Book cases were completely fictitious?” The anonymous man responds, “Yes.”

“Anonymous” alleges that, after an invasion threat from President Dwight Eisenhower, he and his superior at the CIA were allowed inside the secretive Area 51 in Nevada to gather intel and report back to the president. There, “Anonymous” describes seeing several alien spacecraft, including the craft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Then, he and his superior were taken to the S-4 facility southwest of Area 51 where they observed live extraterrestrials.

Author and UFO researcher Peter Robbins, who served as a witness at the Citizen Hearing, saw the video testimony as it was presented. He posted his reaction on his Facebook account: “In my opinion, if it can be confirmed by any relevant supporting documentation, this moving and fascinating account does qualify as an authentic ‘death bed’ testimony from an individual who convincingly claims to have been a CIA officer deeply involved in the matter or crashed and/or recovered craft, and at one time a liaison between the Agency and the President (Truman).”

This testimony will be included in an upcoming documentary titled Truth Embargo.

What is The Truth About UFOs?By Richard B. Muhammad -Editor

May 7, 2013http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/printer_9740.shtml

Week-long hearings on government secrecy, so-called UFOs yield powerful testimony and a simple question: Why hide info about things that don’t exist?

WASHINGTON (National Press Club) - Having the prestigious home for Americas media in the Nation’s Capitol host its conference, complete with former lawmakers, was a clear attempt by the host Paradigm Research Group and conference organizer Stephen Bassett to curb ridicule and keep focus on government secrecy and its belief that so-called UFOs are known—despite government lies and skeptics.

The Citizen Hearing On Disclosure, held here April 29 to May 3, included a former Canadian defense minister, a former astronaut, the former top Federal Aviation Administration official, a onetime Ministry of Defense official in the United Kingdom, Air Force veterans, other U.S. servicemen, and domestic and foreign pilots, scientists, researchers, authors, writers, filmmakers, and witnesses from America, England, China, Russia, Canada, Brazil, Chile and South American countries spoke.

Modeled after congressional hearings, witnesses delivered 30 hours of testimony covering a wide range of thought and concern about so-called UFOs and whether the crafts were of this world or from elsewhere. Opinions were strong on all ends—some simply wanted an explanation or investigation of things unexplained—others spoke of animal mutilations, alien crash landings and creatures from other planets under U.S. government control.

The point of agreement was the U.S. government and other governments need to share what is known about sightings and crafts and the U.S. Congress should hold hearings on a subject of interest to millions of Americans—whether their concerns are the origin of the crafts or an ever-increasing tendency to classify and deny public access to information.

“I believe, unfortunately, that the military industrial complex is the reason—from Truman and Roosevelt, Reagan, Clinton, and Carter presidential level—that has brought us to this place, which I believe is detrimental to the universe and detrimental to our people,” said former Detroit

7

congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick, who was among former lawmakers that conducted the hearings for the Paradigm Research Group.

“There is something else out there, I’m convinced. I wasn’t before I came because I didn’t know much about it. I’ve been reading, listening, scientifically intelligent information has been presented,” said the 18 year-member of Congress in an exclusive interview. Twelve countries were represented in testimony with another 12 nations on board to explore this issue and United States officials need to take part in the conversation, she argued.

“I don’t know what they (U.S. officials) know, it’s over my intelligence but I believe if they know something, and I believe they do, they need to share it,” former Rep. Kilpatrick continued. “I don’t know if it’s about power, or that someone else may have a better technology, or that we’re not going to tell the people because we want to stay in charge—all of which are asinine in the 21st century. It’s time to confront the issue.”

Federal defense and transportation were her areas of expertise but the UFO issue never came up in congressional discussions, she said. Defense spending and appropriations was her specialty. Five other ex-lawmakers—Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska; U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif.; U.S. Rep Darlene Hooley, D-Ore.; U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md.; and U.S. Rep. Merrill Cook, R-Utah—agreed the people had a right to know more. Among suggestions was having an international conference tied to the United Nations and endorsed by the General Assembly as opposed to the U.S.-dominated Security Council.

The onetime federal legislators admitted former colleagues were unlikely to have a formal hearing, but encouraged continued efforts to lobby and educate current legislators. Problems with a congressional hearing range from short presentation times to a few select witnesses, finding the proper committee to host such a hearing and the arrogance of Capitol Hill legislators, said Rep. Hooley candidly.

Congressmen aren’t happy looking like they don’t know something and to be told something world-shaking was going on for decades without their knowledge wouldn’t sit well, she said.

Also no sitting lawmaker wants to be the first representative to call for hearings and see their call replayed in opposition political ads with antenna

coming out of their heads, added Ms. Woolsey. Potential ridicule and political fallout is enough to keep members of Congress away, she said.

Congressman Mike Gravel, in a strong argument, warned against relying on Congress. Congress and the U.S. political system are broken and people are too afraid to challenge authority, said the former senator.

The American people need to be motivated to get involved, he said, complaining of a sheep-like mentality inside the United States where anyone who challenges popular political thought has his patriotism questioned. True patriotism is standing up and demanding that the government serve and inform its citizens, he said.

The last time Congress held a hearing on UFO matters was in 1968 before the House Committee on Science and Astronautics.

Throughout the Press Club hearing, pilots and experts shared experiences with the crafts, some tried to chase or attack the objects without success. In other incidents, witnesses saw strange lights and shared how the appearance of these crafts or lights knocked out weapons systems in nuclear silos. All described virtually noiseless, usually seamless crafts with few or no outer markings, ships that could make sudden stops and turns impossible for modern aircraft. The force of such angled maneuvers would kill a human being, they said. The crafts hover in mid-air at heights no helicopter could endure, witnesses said. Some described how smaller craft travel and dock on a huge Mother Ship.

“It’s indisputable that UFOs exist and it’s indisputable that while most of them turn out to be misidentifications or hoaxes, some of them, even those of us in government couldn’t explain,” said Nick Pope, who spent four years investigating UFOs and possible national security implications for the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense. The UK has since moved to declassify and release its UFO documents, he said.

“It’s not in contention that there are things in our air space and we don’t know what they are,” said Mr. Pope. The British government sometimes tracked sightings on radar or visual sightings by pilots, but it was a mystery, and while extraterrestrials weren’t ruled found, they were not ruled out, he said.

Dick Gregory, longtime analyst and satirist, attended the hearings. He felt it should have included representatives of the indigenous peoples who have spoken of such visits for centuries. He had his own experience in San Francisco. He sees major implications if the truth about UFOs come out.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan accompanied by his sons Joshua Farrakhan and Nation of Islam Student Supreme Captain Mustapha Farrakhan and Abdul Akbar Muhammad, international representative of the Nation of Islam, sat in for a brief time the first day of the hearing.

The Minister has spoken publicly about his encounter with the crafts in a “vision-like”” experience in 1985 and said the crafts are fulfillment of the prophecy of Ezekiel’s Wheel in the Bible and are the destructive Mother Plane and baby planes created to destroy this civilization as taught by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The writings about these planes are found in the monumental book Message to the Black Man by Mr. Muhammad.

During an international press conference at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. on October 24, 1989, Min. Farrakhan shared his vision and warned the U.S. government of the dreadful power of these crafts and how plotting against the Black man and woman, him and the Nation of Islam would led to the unleashing of their destructive force.

“So it is not wise for you to plan against Allah’s (God’s) servants; for by so doing you are actually planning against yourselves. This warning is for the president, the government and the wise to reflect upon so that the unwary citizens of America may not be harmed by the consequences of the wicked machinations of the United States government,” said Min. Farrakhan at the press conference.

“You may come against me, which you are free to do, since we have no power to stop you, but I warn you, that I am backed by the power of Allah (God) and His Christ and the power of that Wheel in which I received this Announcement. The moment you attempt or lay your hands on me the fullness of Allah’s (God’s) wrath will descend upon you and upon America,” the Minister warned.

What about the 3 percent?

Among UFO researchers, or “ufologists,” there is agreement that 95 percent of reported incidents can be explained, said Gary Heseltine, who created a database tracking UFO-related incidents reported by police officers in the United Kingdom, and edits UFO Truth magazine.

When the remaining 5 percent are investigated, perhaps 2 percent will be tossed out leaving a highly credible 3 percent that is unexplained, argued the retired British police detective.

“The skeptics can argue all they like but they never talk about these 3 percent of cases,” said Mr. Heseltine.

That 3 percent of cases would include major incidents inside and outside the United States. One incident occurred in 1986 as a Japanese airline pilot flying over Anchorage, Alaska spotted a huge ship the size of two aircraft carriers and reported the sighting to the FAA. John Callahan was then division chief of the Accidents and Investigations for the Federal Aviation Administration. He testified May 3 that Japanese Airlines 747 flight was followed by a UFO for 31 minutes. The UFO also followed a United Airlines flight.The unknown craft’s presence was confirmed visually—as the pilot drew a walnut shaped object to share what he saw—and there was radar confirmation. The then-FAA Administrator held a briefing the day after the incident with the FBI, CIA, President Reagan’s Scientific Study Team and others present, said Mr. Callahan.

The air traffic conversations, videotaped radar evidence and reports were presented but confiscated, the former federal official said. The CIA officer said the craft was a UFO and the scientific group couldn’t wait to get it hands on the information, Mr. Callahan recalled. The CIA person also told everyone present they were sworn to secrecy and “this meeting never happened,” said the plain-spoken Mr. Callahan, who was certainly not a New Age ET Come Home cheerleader.

He doubted that the craft was made by the U.S. or any other government, though when he first heard about the incident he suspected it might be a Defense Dept. project like the once super-secret Stealth bomber. Mr. Callahan kept some of the FAA evidence.

George Flier, a retired Air Force intelligence officer, testified that there are about 1,000 UFO-related

9

sightings a month and he deals with 17,000 e-mails related to incidents monthly.

Like many witnesses, Mr. Flier had his own encounter with a UFO while aboard an aircraft tanker over the UK. While serving in the Air Force, Flier was on board an aircraft tanker over the UK ordered to investigate a UFO which flew away at great speed. He is now a regional director for the Mutual UFO Network.

Reasons most often given for hiding info about UFOs are national security, power, potential unknown energy sources and shaking the established world view of reality and science. One witness suggested while the speed of light is recognized as the highest speed known to mankind, the unknown crafts may travel at the speed of thought and use a different propulsion system than the most advanced system used today.

And, observed Mr. Callahan, where do these crafts stop for food, fuel and what technology do they have? Companies and corporations have an interest in denying the world cheaper, better medical care and a “toaster that can power New York City,” he said.

While the UFO phenomenon is worldwide with sightings in places like Iran, the United Kingdom, Turkey, China, and Japan along with others nations and regions in between, the U.S. has a special interest in these occurrences and special ridicule, the witnesses stressed.

Mr. Bassett complained of misinformation spread by the government and CIA-creation of the National Enquirer. The tabloid spreads silly stories and undermines legitimate dialogue, he said.

In South America, the subject is approached from a more respectful and scientific basis, said Antonio Huneeus, a writer and investigative reporter from Chile. There is some mockery but the societies and governments are generally more willing to discuss the phenomena in a more serious way, he added.

When other nations have an incident, the U.S. quickly intervenes and often departs with valuable evidence and information, said witnesses.

Its global influence as a superpower is the reason most often given for U.S. obsession with the subject, witnesses argued. But, they noted, at the same time the U.S. government insists the craft do not exist.

Would the U.S. be the sole superpower if someone else possessed more advanced technology? asked Nick Pope, a UK Ministry of Defense UFO investigator between 1991 and 1994. In 2008 the UK began a five-year process of declassifying and releasing its entire archives of UFO files. So far over 50,000 pages of documents have been released, he noted.

The most significant UFO incident in the UK happened in 1980 involving a UFO incident in Rendlesham Forest and involved military personnel at the United States Air Force bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge, he said.

A craft appeared near the bases over 3 nights, soldiers were sent out to investigate and the top U.S. Air Force official in Germany quickly came to find out what happened, collected evidence and left, said Mr. Pope. The Air Force official wrote a memo about the incident, but the U.S. says it has no interest in investigating UFOs, added Mr. Pope, who worked for the Ministry of Defense for 21 years.

Then U.S.-servicemen John Burroughs and Jim Penniston were there that night and testified at the hearing. Not only were the men told to keep quiet about the incident, but both have health problems and have been told their personal medical records are classified. They fear exposure to some kind of radiation.

Between 1953 through 2009, when the division was dropped because of defense cuts, over 12,000 incidents were investigated, said Mr. Pope. The Rendlesham Forest incident multiple witnesses, included burn marks on trees and increased radiation at the event site, he explained. The plight of the servicemen is a open government and human rights issue, whether there is a belief in UFOs or not, these men cannot get information needed to help deal with health problems, said Mr. Pope.

He believes government secrecy, which many say began in 1947, is tied to a desire to capture the technology of these unknown crafts. Whether crafts investigated by the UK were “Russian or Martian,” their technology is better than what is currently known, Mr. Pope said.

There was UK interest in propulsion systems, fuel source and possible weaponisation, he continued.“There is as it were a race for that technology. So basically, if any of this turns out to be true, the nation that first acquires this technology will be the

10

dominant political, military, technological, economic force on this planet for the foreseeable future,” he said.

Rubber Alien Hoax Gets Chinese Man 'Mr. Li' Arrested (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post, By David Moye Posted: 06/12/2013

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/12/rubber-alien-hoax_n_3430786.html?utm_hp_ref=ufo

A Chinese farmer who claimed he had electrocuted an extraterrestrial and put it in his freezer for safe-keeping is now in the cooler himself.

The farmer, whose name is only being given as "Mr. Li," posted photos online of the alleged alien discovery, but was quickly arrested by police in the Shandong province for "fabrications" that "disturbed the public order," the Telegraph reported.

Li previously claimed that he ran into five aliens on the banks of the Yellow River three months ago and one of them was supposedly killed by a high-voltage electric fence Li had laid to catch wild rabbits, he said.

However, after the authorities visited him, Li confessed that he made the fake E.T. out of rubber, chicken wire and glue in order to mislead his countrymen about the existence of aliens, SCMP.com reported.

The police also felt compelled to point out that the body of Li's fake alien was "made up of high quality rubber," Fox News reported.

Although Li admitted the alien was a hoax, some UFO conspiracy theorists are convinced it is real and are trying to connect it with another alleged UFO sighting around the Hubei Province, Yahoo Australia reported. [Go to orig. article website for photo slideshow.]

Author Claims Ancient Atlantis Map Found at Stonehenge

19 June 2013http://www.badwitch.co.uk/2013/06/author-claims-ancient-atlantis-

map.html

Here's another press release I have just received, entitled "Six thousand year old map of Atlantis found at Stonehenge" and promoting the second edition of a book called The Stonehenge Engima. Here is what it said, make of it what you will:

The second edition of The Stonehenge Enigma, which is the first volume of Robert John Langdon’s epic trilogy Prehistoric Britain, is published today, revealing for the first time details of a six thousand year old map that lay partially buried in the ground that depicts the legendary island of Atlantis.

The Slaughter Stone at Stonehenge is well known to archaeologists throughout the world. But what these experts have failed to appreciate is that this stone was deliberately placed in the ground by the builders of Stonehenge to represent a world that was flooded some 6,000 years ago by the rising sea waters. The book concludes that the entire Stonehenge monument was built in reverence to the lost souls of Atlantis, which lay not in the Mediterranean or between America and Africa as most historians believe, but under the North Sea in place archaeologists now call Doggerland.

Robert John Langdon shows in his new book that two stones within the Stonehenge complex have been identified by geologists as ‘special’, because they are of a particular stone (Mica Sandstone)

11

unlike all the other large sandstones on the site. Moreover, the stones are in a direct alignment to Doggerland/Atlantis, which is now known to have been inhabited some 10,000 years ago by an unknown civilization whose tools have been found by oyster dredgers scraping the shallow bottom of the North Sea for the last one hundred years.

Finally, the book also proves that the Atlanteans built Stonehenge as a monument to their lost island and dead (hence the term ‘slaughter stone’ we still use today), which was not a stone circle facing the Summer Solstice as portrayed by the Druids today. But as a ‘crescent moon’ facing the opposite direction and the midwinter sunset, as our ancient beliefs have always associated stone, the moon and night-time with the afterlife.

A complete description and illustrations can be found on Robert John Langdon’s blog site at: www.the-stonehenge-enigma.info which has published the complete final chapter of this remarkable book including maps of Atlantis and the original diagrams of the Stonehenge temple to the Atlantean dead or by visiting his shop: Ology, 12-14 High St, Rottingdean, Brighton BN2 7HR were is housed a permanent exhibition of his books, models and illustrations.http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1907979042/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=abawisbl-21&camp=2902&creative=19466&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=1907979042&adid=0VGCN23J9MDJJ0YV9N61&&ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.badwitch.co.uk%2F2013%2F06%2Fauthor-claims-ancient-atlantis-map.html

Upcoming MUFON MN Meeting Agendas

July 13 - We're going to try to fit in two videos from the 2013 International UFO Congress because the information is very up-to-date and relevant. For the first half of the meeting: Dr. Roger Leir and Steve Colbern: "Alien Implants - The Tip of the Iceberg." Dr. Leir has been removing implants from abductees for several years, and has recently been joined by Mr. Colbern, a chemist and materials scientist. Together they present case histories and their latest results. After the break Richard Dolan's video presentation from the 2013 International UFO Congress will be shown. "UFOs for the New Century" addresses the question "Are UFOs and UFO researchers relevant in our present day society?" Mr. Dolan also discusses where UFO research should be going in the 21st Century. Both of these videos are excellent and come highly recommended by Dean DeHarpporte and Mike Knox who attended the International UFO Congress in Feb.

Aug. 10 - Bill McNeff will have the agenda for the MUFON MN meeting.

Sept. 14 - MUFON MN - Chad Lewis will give a presentation based on his latest book "The Van Meter Visitor." Chad says it has UFOs, aliens, and strange creatures all involved in the same case! Chad will be bringing books along to the meeting. http://www.thevanmetervisitor.com
