  Any day now... Expected Blaze Star in Northern skies
Posted by: Maxmars - 05-21-2024, 06:58 PM - Forum: Space - Replies (1)

Something to look up for..., 

It has been determined that at some point between May and September this year we should see a new star... or rather suddenly see a star that was mostly too dim to ever see in the night sky... in the Northern Crown constellation...

You see there are two closely orbiting stars one relatively huge and hulking, the other relatively puny and dim.  The star system is called T. Coronae Borealis, (a.k.a. the Blaze Star.) (But it's actually two stars, a red giant, and a white dwarf.)

Every 80 years or so the white dwarf gets 'fed up' (pun intended) with all the matter ejected by the Red Giant - which subsequently became 'captured' by the white dwarf.  After enough of this accumulates the little companion "puffs it off" in a blast so powerful that the star becomes 10,000 times brighter for a short while.

From ArsTechnica.com: Nova explosion visible to the naked eye expected any day now
Subtitled: Sometime between May and September, a white dwarf is expected to go thermonuclear.
 


 “The material from the red giant will accumulate on the white dwarf’s surface until it forms a layer that’s actually not that thick. Just a few meters—the depth of a deep swimming pool,” Van Belle explained. Most of the material coming off the red giant is hydrogen. And since the red dwarf is still hot, there will eventually be a spark that triggers a runaway nuclear fusion reaction. “That is what causes the explosion,” Van Belle said.

The explosion is a nova, which means it doesn’t kill either the white dwarf or the red giant as a supernova would. “Only about 5 percent of the hydrogen layer fuses into heavier elements like helium, and the rest just gets ejected into space. Then the process starts all over again because the explosion isn’t large enough to disrupt the red giant, the donor of all this hydrogen, so it just keeps doing its thing,” Van Belle told Ars. This is why we can predict this event with such precision.

...

We can estimate this window because we know what the events leading up to the T. Coronae Borealis explosion looked like the last time it went off in 1946. “The brightness of this object in the sky got a little bit dimmer, a little fingerprint in the light curve. Then it popped off. We have seen the same process with this object recently during the last year or year-and-a-half or so. So that’s why we expect that it is getting to that point,” Van Belle explained.

Accordingly, many high-precision instruments at Lowell and other observatories will be zeroed in on T. Coronae Borealis in the coming months to measure the geometry of the expanding fireball to infer the exact physics of the explosion. “But it’s also kind of neat that you don’t need anything if you fancy to go out and see this thing. Last time, in 1946, it hit magnitude 3, and prior to that, in 1866, it was magnitude 2. Magnitude 2 is about as bright as the Northern Star,” Van Belle said.

  Government Documents UFO/OVNI/UAP Statements.
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-21-2024, 01:22 PM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - Replies (6)

If anyone's not tired of reading them (and following on from pilots, police, military and scientists) then there are some other interesting UFO/OVNI/UAP statements below taken from government documents.

Insane how many links (and sites) have now been deleted regarding the UFO subject but there still are plenty of good ones out there and here are some dealing with documentation.




Quote:• Government UFO Document Links:


CUFON / Ufologie / NICAP / Blackvault / Project 1947 / PDFs / Archive




As mentioned on another thread would truly recommend this book as it deals solely with gov doc content and 'the seriousness with which the military and intelligence communities approached the UFO problem internally'.

It's an older presentation but also reckon this one by BlackVault's John Greenewald Junior is a winner.






Quote:For nearly 9 years, John Greenewald, Jr. has been exploring the archives of the U.S. Government for undeniable proof of the UFO Phenomenon. In those nine years, he has created the largest online archive anywhere in the world. Join John as he sifts through the mounds of Government documents and see the most fascinating results... undeniable proof the Government is actively involved in UFO research. See the documents, the correspondence and the blatant lies that were presented by the U.S. Government.




Anyway more and more government agencies like the CIA, DIA, NSA etc. are claiming to have lost (or destroyed) their UFO files so suppose we should be thankful for what we've got.

We've also got the CIA and USAF running around trying to bamboozle everyone by 'Disguising Re-review of Open Files and Misleading Researchers on Reasons for Withdrawing Previously Open Records' so that doesn't sound too helpful either.

I was not sure I would be interested in this Why Files however everything from the successful attack by Iraq into Saudi Arabia to destroy a mind control transmitter to a little history on Subliminal advertising that has been with us since the 50s.

From advertising, Mind Control, to the overthrow of legitimate elected governments. Worth a listen IMO

  Scientists UFO/OVNI/UAP Statements.
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-21-2024, 12:40 AM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - Replies (8)

Following on from pilots, police and military there are also statements below regarding the reality of Unidentified Flying Objects from scientists.

Realize they're a bit of a long read but for folks interested there's some rather revealing content being discussed and many of the statements have been substantiated in official reports, books, interviews, letters, scientific reviews, open congressional hearings etc.

Regarding the largest scientific UFO study ever conducted by the U.S. Government thought Stanton Friedman raised some excellent points here about their findings (and how they attempted to mislead the public on numbers).

Atmospherical physicist Dr James E. McDonald also raises some important points in this old clip.

“From the Ends of the earth and across any sea I will track him and destroy everything he has ever held dear,” was his sworn “oath” to himself as he gazed upon the carnage of men, women, and kids who had been shot where they stood, or as they knelt upon their knees.

As time passed and many of his leads ended up being wrong turns in a maze of subterfuge, the only thing that kept him going was his deep felt rage at a corrupt system that had destroyed so much and given back so very little.

Casualties of war and the collateral damage of any operation, was always a toss up between the goals of the mission, the welfare of the troops, and any local assets that might be involved. Locals unfortunately were always less than a secondary mission parameter unless they were politically important . Even then, use them and lose them, if they got in the way or could not be bought.

The trail he sought had gone cold for over a year; and then it happened. A casual business proposition at a nondescript Chinese restaurant with one of the local girls had once again given him hope.

She really was a facially pretty little little thing but no doubt her best days would soon pass with the selling of her body to support her drug addition. No one can live that way without sowing rot in their soul and destroying their body; yet, there were those who, always seemed to try.

She, in a bold and reckless way, had offered him a very special favor in the restaurant’s rest room for way to much money.

After he refused several of her price quotes, she finally came down to just the price of a meal .

“Are you really hungry or just wanting to buy something else besides food”?

“I promise you it is for food and you can watch me eat it”!

“Then sit down and place your order and we will have a meal together; if that is alright with you”?

“You mean I can sit here with you and eat? I am filthy and stink”?

“As long as you behave yourself and chew with you mouth closed, I think I can tolerate your company”.

She ordered a cheap dish of fried rice with chicken and would have been done with it but I told the waitress to, “Come back in a moment for we were still deciding”..

By telling her, “I was hungry too” and letting her know we could share a few food dishes together (at least her hands and nails were clean) she was so surprised and shocked that she finally decided to just let me do the ordering. I did ask her if she could read and she said she could with an answer that seemed rather perturbed at the question by crossing here eyes and saying, ”Duh, I have a university education and graduated one year early”.

I did not say anything, for I figured this table talk, would be all the right answers, and all lies.

According to her, it was because many of the dishes on the menu were priced at such an expensive rate she did not want to take advantage of my kindness (a likely verbal hook.... as in a fishing story).

'OR'?

“What do you want me to do for you after we are finished eating”?

“Nothing, just eat and enjoy; talk to me like I am your friend”.

“That may be hard to do; I don't think I have any real friends I can trust left”.

“Few people do so let's start with your name”.

“My name is Sofia but I just tell everyone to call me Sofi”.

The business side of her was still looking for an angle but she evidently was so hungry she would have sold her soul to the devil for a meal.

Street urchins like her were a dime a dozen in any war torn country. The lucky ones who had nothing but themselves and passable good looks could usually find a meal if they were of what some might call low morals and even slightly creative in their thinking at getting a meal or a dollar. Survival is a universal trait in our species;. especially in women.

“So Sofia, how did you end up in a place like this offering bathroom favors”?

She Looked at me and it was as if something snapped behind her eyes for the tears started to form.

“Do you know where Table Top is”?

“You mean on the south side of the city where all the big houses and reported police on the take live”?

“Yes, I used to live there until a couple of weeks ago”.

“You have got be be kidding me,” was all I could say as I reevaluated my dinner guest. She was clothed in a big sweat shirt that was at least 4 times to big for her and the baggie jeans she wore had the pants legs rolled up several times to keep from dragging the floor and probably tripping her as she walked. She had tied two pieces of string around each side of the pants at the waist to make the waist smaller so the pants wouldn't fall down around her knees ! All of this had been taken in at first sight of her. Not a very flattering image even for a hippie or a broke back packer thief as you can imagine.

“My parents had a house there at 2341 Butterfly lane. After my parents were killed, I stayed at one of the smaller houses that faced the cliff on the west side of the development. I was at that small blue trimmed house for maybe a month before I was able to escape”.

“They were going to sell me to someplace or someone because I am still a virgin”.

I had to clear my throat and swallow unless I might spit water.

Part of me thought I had enough of her B.S. and lies but I tempered my reply with, “Sofia friends do not start out with lying to each other, it is bad manners”.

“I am not lying ! After we eat you can take me to the hospital and have them check me out; if you pay for it and make them let me take a bath”!

“Sofia excuse me, if you are telling me the truth. I had you figured for a druggie trying to pay for her habit and willing to do anything for money. This town is full of them”.

“That is understandable for the places I have been these last 5 days have not exactly shown me the best the city has to offer; so I can understand your thinking, even if you are wrong”!

So I thought, O.K. I will play.

“So how did you end up for sale or on the auction block”?

“My parents owned a small shop that sold motorcycles on the south west side of town. Every month some of Rico's tough guys would come by wanting their....they called it, 'Tea money'..
We had always paid, and there were never any problems, until the economy crashed and people quit buying bikes..With the drug war and killings every day and night, those with money, who could run from the triad and cartels, left last year”.

“We could not leave for everything we had was tied up in the Motorcycle shop, our house, and some land we own.

Dad had tried to get me to go live with my Aunt and Uncle in America but our visa application was not approved before Rico's thugs came and stole our limited supply of bikes. The cops were there and everything.... yet they shot mom and dad in the back of the head …... I was on my knees with my hands held behind my back as a pistol was placed on the back of my head. Then one of the thugs called Troy said he thought Rico would want to check this one out, so I was spared”.

“They took me to one of Rico's hide out bungalows where a doctor checked me from head to toe”. “Once they found out I was a virgin, instead of being shot or raped an sent to work in one of their whore houses, they put me up for sale, I guess; for no one laid a hand on me”.

“After a week of terrible boredom in that house, I asked for some paper and a pencil to draw with. They surprised me with actually giving me a sketch pad and several pencils; my drawings had been all over the motorcycle shop so they all knew I could sketch. I spent many an hour drawing their faces as they sat and just stared at me”.

She paused for a moment and her eyes got a far away look in them.

“They kept me in the house without any clothes and just a bare cot to sleep on. I think is was partly because the guys wanted something to look at and fantasize about”.

“I would like to call all of them animals but that would be an insult to animals everywhere”!

She paused for a moment and then continued.

“One evening, everyone was gone, but this one guy, they called Sam, who they had left behind to guard me. I was sketching and refining some of the drawings of people I had seen since being taken when he entered my room. I had my knees up with my sketch pad resting on my legs so he got an eye full.

Being without clothes for a month around a bunch of sick guys while knowing they can not lay a hand on you does have some advantages”.

“He came to my cot and bent down to see what I was drawing. He started touching my breast and I acted like I liked it. He then started kissing my breast and he finally closed his eyes (he was to close to see anything anyway) so I took the number two pencil I was drawing with and with all my strength I rammed it into his ear. He screamed and jumped back clutching at his ear but I was able to ram another pencil into his left eye as he danced around with his ear pain. He hit me so hard in the chest I almost got killed right then and there. He stumbled out of the door screaming and moaning the whole time before he tripped and fell on the two steps leading out of my room. I knew the pencil in his ear had gone in maybe 4 inches and the one to the eye had been a solid strike for I could feel the ocular bone shatter at the end of my sharpened pencil”.

“I followed him out of the room to find Sam in the floor screaming, shaking and maybe convulsing so I picked up a metal desk lamp that was just outside my door and with all my strength I hit him hard in the head with it's base. His screaming only paused for a moment but it did not stop ! The pencil which had been in his ear was laying on the floor so I picked it up and since his undamaged ear was sticking up, I rammed it in that ear and tapped it half way in with the metal lamp. After the first tap he quit screaming”.

Our food and and a bottle of water arrived.

Sofia's hands we shaking so badly she was having trouble opening the plastic seal cap of the water bottle, so I volunteered my services. Once opened I poured her a glass of water, which she drank without pause; so I poured her another glass and she drank half of it before she started on the food.

Sofia was so hungry she unknowingly made little cooing sounds in her throat as she took each bite and mouthful. The sounds reminded me of some starving cat who had found a meal. Some cats make the same type sound of pure joy as they eat.

This was a Chinese restaurant and I had ordered General Tso's chicken, Mandarin beef, and two bowls of Swan La Ton or more commonly know in English as hot and sour soup which also came with spring rolls. The Soup was the best in town for I had tried other places and none were this good.

About halfway through our food dishes she continued her story.

“I could not find my clothes but I did find these baggy jeans and this pullover. These Tennis shoes are several sizes to large but I needed to get out of there before the rest of Rico's guys returned. I did manage to pull Sam's body to the back porch and push him off to fall to the bottom of the cliff where the river runs. So I left with just these clothes and my sketch pad”.

“Why did you approach me Sofia”?

“Look around this part of town. You are the first person I have seen that does not look like a local cop and is dressed like someone who can afford to buy a girl a meal”.

“Also, now that you know my life story may I ask what is your name”?

“My name is Ray Striker,” as I reached across the table to shake her hand.

“How old are you Ray”?

“I will be 33 in December, and you”?

“I just turned 22”.

“And still a virgin. Miracles do happen after all.”

“I was either working at the shop or was at the catholic school for girls and then Saint Ann's university all my life. Not much of an opportunity to date or mess around. Besides, since I like to sketch, I was born with a good eye, which I suppose, also makes me rather picky with the looks of any guys I meet”.

“There is much more to see about someone than just looks Sofi”

“That is true...... but most of the guys just want to hop in the bed with you, like wham bam and if you are lucky you might get a thank you before they run and tell all their friends. Maybe being raised Catholic made me want to give myself to the right guy. Either way, I am what I am”.

We had almost finished our meal when Sofia jumped up and went to the little table at the entrance of the restaurant. When she returned she was carrying what looked like her sketch pad.

“This is all I have left of my former life. I have been to afraid to go back to my house for clothes or anything. You want to have a look”?

She handed me her pad and as I thumbed through her drawings, I had to confess, she was better than any street artist I have ever seen no matter what part of the world I traveled. She could have been an illustrator for any outfit I could think of, to include my own agency.

About ten pages in her sketch book I came across a face I could never forget. The shock must have been displayed on my face for she asked me, “What”?

“Sofi who is this guy”?

“That is Rico's second in command. He is in charge of security and collections for this part of the world; if not other places too? He came to my room several times checking on me and I think he was the one who told the guys to get me the pencils and pad. He is hansom in a rugged sort of way... but his eyes are very hard Ray; he seemed to look right inside you, creepy”.

“Did you ever hear his name”?

“He said his name was Ray, also”!

“If your drawing is accurate, and I have no doubt it is, his name is Jason Strong”.

“Ray you are now scaring me. How do you know him”?

“He used to be a golden boy for a government agency we worked for. Jason went rogue..... many people were killed..... to include some friends of mine. I have been looking for him for almost three years.... so I could cut his throat, after few other, not very nice things”.

“Not taking anything away from you Ray, but, he is always with some of Rico's guys..... They are very proud of the rifles and pistols they were carrying every time he came to visit me. These guys are killers without remorse or conscience from what I have personally seen”.

“Sofi are you safe here for a couple of hours”?

“I don't think I am safe anyplace ! This town is crawling with cops who are on Rico's payroll. Between Rico and this guy you say is really named Jason, they have people just about everyplace. I have been waiting on this block, across the street in that boarded up shop, for 2 days before I saw you enter here. I thought I would risk coming, for I was about ready to faint from hunger”.

The sketch pad did it for me and I made a snap decision I hoped I would not regret.

“Sofia I have a car in the back parking lot. It is a Black Yukon with dark tented windows”.

I paused and looked outside through the small window above the restaurant’s door. “It is already dark outside; do you think you can make it to the car as I stand by the corner of the building to provide you some cover and protection.... just in case someone you don't want to see shows up”?

She waited for the blink of an eye, smiled, and then said,” Miracles do happen even for me, when do we leave”?

I paid for the meal and as we rounded the corner of the building I used the Yukon's FOB and clicked the unlock button for the doors. The damn lights flashed along with a chirp so Sofia darn sure had no problem finding the Yukon's position. I had told her to shuffle walk like a normal Bum to the car and if assaulted try and keep the bad guy's back to me. I had not thought through exactly what I would do if there were more than one assailant but in my mood I planned on winning either way...... this show was on the road.

Sofi made it to the car unmolested and by the way she was dressed there was no problem looking like a shuffling Bum. Once she was inside the car, I waited a few moments to clear the area and then, I too headed for the Yukon. Once inside we headed outside of town to my safe house, which was not much, but it was isolated without neighbors. Enroute I got Sofi to write down her shoe, jean, and dress sizes...She really did smell like something mildewed and unpleasant so even with the air conditioning I keep both of the back windows cracked open to hopefully help in exhausting the smell.

We arrived at the house in about 25 minutes and after showing Sofi around I offered her a 5906 9mm S&W which had a 15 shot magazine. She had never shot a pistol before but had watched several movies so she thought she was already a good shot ! Those kind of people scare me so I gave her a 10 minute safety briefing to include dry firing practice. I really tried to make sure she would at least not shoot her foot off while I went to buy her some clothes.

It was already 20:30 hours and most of the malls and stores would be closed by 22:00 so I road the Yukon harder than usual to the closest Mall which was thankfully on the East side of town.

Luckily, the store I was in had fully dressed manikins which helped me pick and chose a few outfits for Sofi to wear. She had a 23” waist, 33” butt and needed a 34 “C” cup bra; she was 5'7” .

I purchased 3 pair of Jeans of different fit and design to go along with four pullover tops, 3 Bras, and 4 different type underwear.. I did see a really cute dress so I went ahead and got that too. One pair of walking shoes and another shoe type (high heals) for the dress which were all given to the girl who worked there and was helping me pick out clothes. While looking at some of the young girls around Sofia's age walking in the Mall I spied a few wearing some rather classy colored tennis shoes so I bought her some white socks and a size 6.5 in those shoes too. I finished my shopping by purchasing her a tooth brush and some body lotion.

Nice clothes for women are expensive, especially in a Mall, but at this stage I could not be picky.

I returned to the safe house and upon entry I was met by my 9mm an a scrubbed and hair washed Sofia wrapped in a towel. Amazing what a little soap and water can do for a girl ! The 9mm actually made me feel like she was more than just a pretty face; a rather smart girl who could take directions and listen.....I liked that especially after I got the gun back !

Her eyes lit up like a lantern when she saw the packages I was carrying, so she helped me carry some of the packages to the room that I had told her would be her bedroom.

I found the blow dryer for her hair and for the next 10 minutes her bedroom door was closed as I flicked through the television channels.

When she came out of her temporary bed room she was wearing the dress and heels I had purchased (just in case I could get her out on a flight).

I almost dropped the T.V. Controller from the shock of seeing her in a clean well fitted dress. I know she saw my surprised and positive reaction for she smiled and did the whole front to back model routine while asking me if I liked it.

After uttering my choked, restricted breath of approval, she was off to her room again. When she came back she was wearing one of the new tops and a pair of Jeans. To say she looked good no matter what she wore would have been the understatement of the day if not the year.

She really was a beautiful young woman when she was cleaned up.

I had a moment of thought and flash back, that before, if someone were down wind they could have smelled her previous clothes from a block away.. What a change!

I was just happy that everything fit her and she seemed to be pleased with my selections.

We both drank some bottled water as we did idle chit chat. I could tell she had let most of her guard down for she seemed to have lost the animal fear and hunger in her eyes that I had previously mistaken for some drugged-out state of mind.

It was getting close to 23:00 so I suggested we get some sleep.

She thanked me again for the ten thousandth time for saving her, the clothes, being nice, and how she would never forget it as along as she lived etc etc.

Off we went to our separate rooms.

The next morning I awoke to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and as I entered the kitchen Sofi was busy scrambling eggs.

After all the 'good mornings', and declarations of a good and much needed sleep we got busy on eating our eggs, bacon, and toast.

As we sat there I was amazed on how good Sofia looked in the morning with her beautiful clear unblemished skin; no make-up, just the beauty of a young girls zest for life. Her features were Eurasian for her father had been French and her mother had been 3rd generation emigrant Chinese.

Sofi spoke French, Mandarin Chinese, and a little bit of the 21 different dialects of Cantonese, plus she spoke very good English and Spanish. Not really all that surprising considering the population make-up of the city she had grown up in. It might have been funny to anyone listening to a conversation together for at times we spoke English with a few Spanish and Chinese words thrown in when convenient or because they were easier to use for a better word picture.. We both had some good laughs from each others sentence structure and creative use of the languages.

After the meal and words of appreciation I retrieved my Sat phone and made a call that I had been dreaming about for the last three years.

“Mark here”.

“Greetings Mark. The road job I have been working on looks like it is finished; could you send me a sweeper team”.

“Sure old buddy how many people do you need”?

“Well after finishing the road it is much bigger than was planned so it would be nice to get the hundred and worst airborne..... but since that might create a slight international incident...... could you send me 2 or three teams with some serious dust pans”?

“Well armed with light arms or do you want APCs and tanks too”? He wasn't joking.

I laughed and just said, “ No, but a few RPGs or M-79s and that sort of man portable stuff would really be nice. I will send you a secure report once I write it up and this time...... I even have pictures”.

“Wow aren't you special! I will get busy on this end and will wait your report... Oh, congratulations, this really has been a long road; Mark out”.

The conversation between Mark and myself was just our version of a cloak and dagger game. The Sat phone encryption was secure except for the most determined efforts of the NSA but we always found it amusing to act like we were America's version of some James Bond character.

Mark and I had graduated together from the academy and had become close friends after several overseas operations together. He was 34 and had a degree in law with a minor in psychology.. Unlike most Psych majors Mark was not weird. He had gone that route to use as a tool instead of trying to heal himself from some perceived faults or a childhood injustice.

Regardless I trusted and liked Mark.

I copied Sofia's sketch pad pictures and took three digital pictures (suitable for a passport) of Sofia to send along with the report.

Sofia had disappeared into the kitchen as I was working on the report only to reappear shortly afterward with a nice hot cup of coffee for me..

Saving someones life with a cheap meal does have its' perks !

Mark sent a secure reply that 3 teams would arrive in two days at the safe house. We should expect them them around 20:00hrs.

I showed Sofia the reply and her first thought was, “Where are we going to put everyone” ?

Chapter 2

I spent the next day staking out some of Rico's safe houses with the limited information Sofia had been able to supply. I had picked up the trail of the collectors the first day at the small house Sofi had been imprisoned before her escape; so it was a simple thing to follow Rico's boys in this once bustling city. My only real precaution had been that I rented another car for the first day's tracking activities. I planned on doing the same thing for the second day.

The first day I came dragging back into the house a little after 22:00 and Sofia met me at the door with 9mm in hand. She looked like she could light a room with her flashing eyes !

“About time you got back”.....Her glare would have frozen a lessor man..... “I thought one of Rico's goons had got you! I was........ worried Ray.... and then I started to think what could I do if you were gone....... I hope you like cold food for it has been ready for 4 hours already”!

With that greeting she spun around and headed for the kitchen, 9mm in hand!

I entered my 'once' safe house, and headed for a much needed shower. Five minutes later as I came out of the bathroom as Sofia was calling me to come eat.

The cold meal she had complained about had been warmed to a very satisfactory temperature and the french dish she had prepared was darn good.. Some kind of Chicken in a yellow sauce with potatoes, onion, and tomatoes.. I was very impressed with the spices and flavor .

I just looked at her as she hovered around me waiting for a response. She made a face and headed back to the kitchen only to return with a glass of wine for the both of us.

I smiled and looked at her and said, “Wow you really know how to cook”!

“You like it ? There is allot of food in the fridge so I figured we had better eat it before it goes bad”.

“Sofia thank you for thinking about me today. I really am sorry I did not think to buy you a cell phone while I was out'n about. I will get you a prepaid tomorrow”.

“Ray I was scared something had happened to you”.

“If something does happen to me, take the Yukon and get out of here. There is $3000 U.S. dollars in the spare tire compartment under the right side of the spare tire. It is not much but it will get you down the road and far enough from here to buy you some time”.

I reached into my billfold and handed one of Mark's business cards with his direct number on it to her.

“If we get separated call Mark; he will know what to do”.

The card was simple, for all it said was, Mark Phillips, United Marketing International, and his toll free phone number.

“If you let me go with you we would not have to worry about getting separated”.

“Maybe so, but you can not sit in a car all day and not need to go to the restroom.. Someone might see you and then we will have problems.... that we don't need.... and might not be able to handle”.

“I could pee in a cup... I don't like worrying about you all day... Understand Ray.. It really bothered me today..... even more than being stuck in that room without clothes and waiting to be sold”.

With that she came across the table and sat in my lap like a daughter would and just snuggled and held me.. I thought it weird but she needed comforting, so there we were..

I rubbed her back and told her, “Just one or two more days and then things will get interesting and a whole lot different for Rico's bunch..... and us too”.

“I will get you out of this mess so you can live a normal life; I promise I will do that for you.. if something happens to me, Mark or one of the guys that works with us will get you to your Aunt and Uncle in the states. It has already been requested in my initial report”.

I was only wearing a bathrobe and I really needed her to get up before something I did not think she needed would enter the picture.

To late.. she pulled back from my fatherly embrace and said, “Wow feels like you really missed me too”!

She jumped up and ran to her bedroom laughing all the way.

I cleared the dishes and washed them in the sink, turned off the light, and with several mixed emotions went to my bedroom.

It is not easy being a guy, especially around her perfectly stunning beauty and womanly ways.

The next morning the house smelled of fresh brewed coffee as I exited my bedroom. Sofi was not a bed slug which I was quite pleased to see. She had also made a ham, bacon, and cheese omelet with onion and a few slices of tomato which she had already placed on the breakfast table as I entered.

She looked resigned to another day alone and kinda had the sad puppy dog look about her... but it was not going to work, for my resolve was strong on this subject.

I told her as much and she smiled and said, “ I bet I spent 10 minutes in front of the mirror this morning perfecting this look and now you tell me it is not working? What can I do to change your mind”?

“Nothing I can think of at the moment young lady. You know as well as I do I am right and you are wrong”.

“Well since you put it that way.... can you get me a phone the first thing today and bring it back here to me? Then I want you to call me every hour and let me know you are O.K.”!

“If today is like yesterday Rico's boys will take a long lunch break, so I should be able to get a phone to you around noon if not sooner. If not, then don't worry, it just means they are doing something different and I need to hang around”.

“Ray can I ask you something”?

I knew better but said “Sure” out of politeness.

“All those guys are doing... they... are making collections from all the businesses. When they came to our shop the little guy with the glasses carried a book where he wrote down the shops name and the amount they collected. His name is Rodriguez. They would turn over the weeks collections to Ray, sorry I mean Jason every Friday at the little house they kept me in. I know because I heard Jason chewing them out when they let someone slide with only a portion of the Tea money they were supposed to collect. So.... instead of you following them while they make the rounds why not just wait until Friday and you and the guys, who are suppose to be here tonight, can do whatever you are going to do”?

“You are sure every Friday Jason came to the house to collect”?

“He always came at 5pm sharp because he likes to eat at six. It would take him 15 minutes to collect the money while going over the numbers in the book with Rodriguez; unless he was pissed about something.... or wanted to see me..... he was out of there by 5:30 with the weeks collections”.

“You really know how to screw up my well planned day Sofi. What would we do all day”?

The puppy dog look totally vanished with a big smile and a sparkle of diamonds in her eyes.

“I will make us a picnic basket of sandwiches and we can go to a very special place by a lake about an hour from here. It is very private and is a place mom and dad liked to go, to get out of the city. They were going to build our house there one day”.

“Do we have to drive through the city to get there”?

“No , it is further east of here and we do not even have to take the highway to get there. Come on, I promise you will like it”.

“Sofi I do not want anything to happen to you or miss a chance of getting Jason. You think about it and be sure there is no danger or chance of us being spotted; this is very important”.

She rolled her eyes up and blinked twice and then said, “Lets leave at ten and in the meantime you go get me a phone”!

“Yes Ma’am I am out of here”.

I got her a prepaid phone and was back at the house by 09:15. We left a bit early around 09:45 and headed for her secret place in the Yukon.

As we drove she talked about her schooling and some of the teachers she had known growing up. How her dream had always been to be a famous artist and sell her painting for zillions of dollars. To live in a place where she did not always have to fear being shot or raped in the dead of night. She just wanted a normal life now, and would be quite happy with a little house on a hill, out of this country, and far far away from the Cartels and the Triad.

We arrived at a beautiful clear small lake that I guessed was formed when the roof of a cavern caved in. There was a small waterfall and everything. I did ask her to please stay inside the Yukon while I did a quick walk about, which she did. No tracks of vehicles or foot prints anyplace to be seen so I returned to her big smile and bubbly personality saying, “all was clear”.

We unpacked the car and set a blanket out with all our stuff. It was a warm day but with all the trees there was plenty of shade where we could make our little nest.

I had gone back to the Yukon to get a couple of bottles of water and our last bottle of wine that remained in our cooler when out of the corner of my eye I saw she had removed her jeans and top as she walked the short distance to the lake. The next moment she had dove into the crystal clear water and was slowing swimming to the lake's center. There was one large bolder that stuck up from the center of the lake so I surmised that would be where she was headed.

I dropped off the wine and water cooler and walked to the edge of the lake at about the time she climbed out to sit on the rock. She had one of the most perfect bodies I have ever seen and the Bra and T-Back underwear I had purchased her did nothing but compliment her feminine shape..

“You afraid to get wet” she yelled at me from across the lake.

“No I was just waiting for an invite”.

I stripped down to my boxer underwear and slowly entered the water for I did not want to dive in and crack my head on an unseen rock. Once I got in however, I realized that would be something I would not have to worry about for this lake was deep and the water was so clear I bet you could see 20 feet down.

I swam to Sofi's rock and as I got there she extended her hand to help me out. Once I was out we sat on this fairly smooth rock as I tried to not look at her for fear my rudder would start dragging more than it already was.

She had a very amused look on her face because she knew what kind of effect she was having on me.

“Weirdest damn virgin I ever met,” was like a repeating song that kept playing in my head.

She leaned over and laid he head on my leg and stared up at the sky as I leaned back. It was a moment I will never forget. Her body was perfect in every way and all I could think of was get the damn Bra and underwear off off her.

I gently raised her head and got up as I turned my back to her to dive into the water.

I really needed a bit of cooling off.

As I swam away she turned to face me and nestled her head in her small delicate hand; with bent elbow she struck a pose. It was a shame some Playboy photographer could not have snapped her picture for she would have made the centerfold of their magazine, probably for the whole year. Instead, her image burned into my mind which on second thought, was better for me anyway.

She got up and dove into the water an swam to me as I tried to float like a log rudder down. When she got to my side I turned to face her and she put a double leg lock around my waist.

“Sofi, my dear you are killing me and I am afraid I am turning to stone and will sink”!

She just smiled and increased the pressure so that out groins met. I actually looked at the water to see if there was any steam rising... for the moment was so hot if I were going to turn into stone it would be a form of hot lava.

My rudder was not dragging that was for sure (more like a full masted schooner) for it was wanting to take complete command of the entire situation! Rudders are that way, they really are, and they can steer you into some situations where hind sight makes you realize their little brain was doing all the thinking..

We held each other as we sunk below the surface only to come up for air and do it all over again. I finally got us separated and headed back to the rock so we could find a little secure footing.

“Sofi my little virgin what are you doing”?

Her voice was low and almost husky as she said she was tired of being a virgin and wanted me to make her a full woman..

“Sofia you do not need me or anyone else to make you a full woman; for as god is my witness, there is none more beautiful than you are to me. Virgin or not you are already 100% woman”.

“I want you”.

“I am married with 4 wives and 12 kids”!

She drew back in a sudden look of shock, “Please don't tell me you really are married”.

“What would you do if I were”?

“Probably cry at first and then figure out how to steal you away; for no one will ever love and honor you as I will”.

“Whoa there little virgin girl ! Have you ever heard of the Stockholm effect?

“You ever heard of love at first sight”? Was her reply to me and my reference to Mr. Stockholm.

“Sofia you have been in a very stressful situation for the last month or two. I came into your life and took away much of that fear and gave you a sense of..... normal....Christ I even fed and clothed you.. Do not mistake passion for love, it is easy to do. Passion burns red hot but the flame will dim over time and without true love so will a relationship. You have known me... for not even two and a half days. To talk about love is showing me you do not know what love is...... I must admit, I have a really hot passion for you and would like nothing better than to make deep tender love for the rest of the day but, I fear you will wake up from this nightmare shortly and not be happy with a 'spur of the moment' decision”.

After my little speech she stood up and popped her bra off and removed her panties. She stood there in all her womanly glory as she said, “Look at me! I am yours today and forever, if you will have me. I would be dead or a starving HIV whore if you had not saved me. LOOK AT ME”! As the tears started to run down her face, “Look at me” as she crumpled into my arms and sobbed.

Part of me was wondering if I was holding a loose cannon in my arms while another part of me wanted to smother her body in kisses and tell her all would be alright.

I held her for what seemed like a long time and let her cry herself out. I had not realized I had been rocking her back and forth as her tears fell. The rocking felt natural, so I did not stop.

She finally stopped crying and sat up. She then stood up once again and dove into the water. She swam around the rock and then acted like she wanted back out again so I offered her my hand. She tried to pull me back in the water while she laughed, but her 110 pounds was not going to budge my 220. She gave up after a few playful attempts and allowed me to help her out of the water. She once again stood before me as I almost went into shock with her womanly beauty. Everything about her looks was perfect to my eyes.

Before I knew what she was doing, or intended, she was facing me and sitting on my lap. The only thing that stood between us was my underwear and the mighty single minded rudder.

I tried to do what I thought was right but I could not take it anymore. We spent that whole day exploring each other and making truly tender love. She really was a virgin so I just warmed/tuned her up and let her run the show from the top; for I really wanted her to enjoy the whole experience. Not something easy to do for or with a virgin.

She swore on the way back to the safe house that her knees were shaking so badly she might never walk again. So I assumed mission was accomplished for my particular part of today's activities..

These things happened over 50 years ago and of all the things I have ever done, I am thankful I gave into Sofi's desires ..... for she has been my loving, devoted, and fun wife for all these years. She taught me what a woman's true love and devotion could do for someone like me. A someone, who had never really been in love before.. Just total lust and desire in many countries of this world, but never unable to leave, and move to the next bigger better lustful affair down the road.

Mark and the teams showed up that night long ago in 3 recreational vehicles which each slept all 9 team members and also carried their weapons. The next day was Thursday which we used for planning an scouting. When Friday arrived we caught Jason and three of his escorts without a shot being fired. Alpha team then entered the building and killed 4 guys but was able to capture Rodriguez alive along with his collection book; in part thanks to Sofia's sketches and Rodriguez’s cowardice.

Less than one hour later we hit Rico's place and rolled up his entire operation. We found his books, his contacts, his records and pulled 88 million in cash out of one bank (which had to close its' doors later for laundering money) and 7 million in cash at his house. We were able to trace his cash accounts all over the world and even managed to have some of our Hong Kong assets bust 8 Triad members.

Rico's small part of the business was all part of a 630 billion dollar crime syndicate with contacts world wide. They were into everything if the price was right and there were several Rico type characters all over the world.. The Triad was a very old entity and I had little doubt that our efforts were like a pin prick to a dragon's behind. But, it would still piss them off; which was about all we could do.

We were able to have 45 local police either executed or arrested for corruption and murder.

Through our further efforts we were able to give back almost 70 % of the money taken from the local businesses for the last three years. We could not restore the lives lost but at least we made a dent in this horrible international operation.

The sex trafficking business was world wide where girls and boys were sold to the highest bidders. The current bid for Sofia had been $325,000 from a Sheik in the Mid-East. About a month later this particular Sheik and 23 other bidders all over the world started having fatal accidents and heart attacks, which was very easy to arrange.

Jason, while being employed by Rico, was making an average of one hundred and ten thousand a month if figured by a straight percentage of his collections and his other activities for Rico. His bank account had 3.3 million yet even so, he gave up without a fight. He was sent to several rendition facilities for the rest of his natural life. He died (to soon in my opinion) after 8 years of water boarding and the old electric shock treatment that was all the fad the last few years of the man made hell we had prepared for him. Some of the information he and the others provided, continue to this very day, allowing the arrest of many evil corrupt figures all over the world.

Sofia worked for several agencies as a illustrator and profiler as a free lancer. I did get her started with some of my contacts but once anyone saw her work they all agreed none were better than Sofia... The money they paid her 'per job' was wonderfully ridiculous and was very nice for us to have.

After a while, she got into the modern art scene and her original paintings are hung in many of the better art houses of the world or on some rich Dude's display wall. I found out, as she did too, that good money could be made in the reproduction of her art work so we opened our own printing shop and turned out her works by the thousands with just 6 employees . The prints sold very well even in places like Walmart and Macy's.

It was our 5th year together when Sofia declared it was time for children so she popped out our son and daughter over the next 4 years.

Our children were never spoiled for Sofi made them 'tow the line' in everything they did.

Our daughter Sara, is a fine artist in her own right as is our son James. Both have what is called the “Good Eye” for details that most others simply miss. I do believe James will want to work in the movie business and has already been in several small bit parts. He is big into martial arts and has a decent role in the upcoming (in production now) Night of the Ninja. However, the real sleeper is Sara, who actually got first billing in the movie called, “The Black Horse,” which you might have already seen ?

While our lives, though our own efforts, became even more intimately involved, dear old buddy Jason and his boss Rico got the long end of the stick crammed up the butts on a regular basis.

May Rico and Jason, as with all their kind, burn in a real hell for all eternity. I will never forgive them, or any of their kind of sick demented bastards, that try to run the world by causing so much pain and misery; all for the worse type of power and money anyone can imagine.

Post Script:
Sofia was writing a letter to her children and grand kids when her body was found sitting at her sketching desk.

'Time has passed and now I am all alone. The fruits have been eaten and my seed has been sown' was all Ray wanted on his tomb stone. I instead had the inscription made that said, “Look and wait for me my love”. I never told you but Ray was asleep and next to me when during the night the doctors said he had a fatal aneurism. I woke up the next morning thinking he was just sleeping in but as I snuggled next to him I knew he was gone. As you all know he was 87. I really want everyone to understand we had a good life together; maybe the best life anyone could ever ask for. I feel I will be joining him shortly; if it were not for the grand kids, I would already be with him for my life is truly incomplete without his smile and love.

From the first moment I saw Ray walk into a restaurant many years ago I wanted to know him. Some say there is no such thing as love at first sight, which may be true, for it did take me a couple of days to make a total commitment to our relationship, which I never once regretted. He was a good man and I always tried to be a good woman for him; we were happy as two people can be. You, my dear children with wives and husbands of your own; I can only wish such happiness and fulfillment for your lives. We were going to

The note ended there and the doctors said Sofia Striker had passed away, alone, due to a massive heart attack. The grown children and everyone else knew it was due to a truly broken heart.

The kids, Sara and James, had both married and made long successful film careers, however James did end up getting a divorce and several years later remarrying. Sara had two children and James fathered 4 (two with the first wife) which all live with him and his current wife Barbra. Everyone seems happy and at peace knowing that if there is an after life Sofia and Ray are there together hand in hand, forever.

Such is life, and the lucky have few regrets, No?

  CIA Modern Mockingbird Media.

Following on from the CIA's close involvement with the 2019 coronavirus epidemic 'simulation'... and their curious role in RNA vaccine production.. and the fact that they were caught spying on, monitoring and hacking U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee members..

Thought it might be worth revisiting the two older quotes below and examining the CIA's direct role in the direction of corporate mainstream media 'pseudo-narratives' and their use of 'non official cover' and the 'psychological building blocks of deception'.

What with all the 'perception management' and 'influence operations' (performed by 'behaviour change specialists') then sometimes it's hard to keep up but nice to know that, in the US at least, 'propaganda' is now perfectly legal to perform on domestic audiences.

Anyway for folks who haven't seen it then would say this is one of Corbett's most interesting episodes - there are also lots of factual links and documentation to rummage through and also a complimentary exploration of 'modern mockingbird media' here by Richard Dolan.

As always would be interested in folk's opinion on the posted content (unless you're a CoIntelPro web goon lol)

By now, Corbett Reporteers know all about the CIA's infiltration of the news media, from Wisner's Wurlitzer and the CIA's global propaganda network to the Church Committee revelations and the CIA whistleblowers of the 1980s. We were told that the CIA stopped all that (which is a lie, of course). But do you know how the CIA is manipulating the media today? Join James on today's important edition of The Corbett Report podcast as he exposes the incredibly brazen trick behind The CIA and the News Media 2.0.

  Gene Drives And The Gates Foundation.
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-20-2024, 12:19 AM - Forum: Science & Technology - No Replies

Thought there was a pretty disturbing interview below about gene drives where it's discussed how 'mosquitos can be used as carriers for bio-weapons' - also that the U.S. Military is now the major funder (100 million dollars on seven DARPA research groups).

Don't pretend to know much about genetics but there's some pretty revealing content being discussed with Jonathan Latham from Independent Science News about the ramifications of 'gene drives' and how they are also known as 'genetic extinction technology'.

Surprise surprise the Gates Foundation are right at the heart of it and FOIA documents are also included which expose their attempts to manipulate the U.N. (also other connections to Monsanto and DARPA).




•Guess Who's Funding and Promoting Gene Drives..?






Quote:Jonathan Latham of Independent Science News joins us to discuss his 2017 article, “Gates Foundation Hired PR Firm to Manipulate UN Over Gene Drives.” We talk about gene drives, the dangers inherent in this technology, how the UN is involved, and why the Gates Foundation and DARPA are so interested in introducing genetic modifications into various species.

Quote:Gates Foundation Hired PR Firm to Manipulate UN Over Gene Drives


The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation this year paid a PR firm called Emerging Ag $1.6 million to recruit a covert coalition of academics to manipulate a UN decision-making process over gene drives, according to emails obtained through Freedom of Information requests.

Gene drives are a highly controversial new genetic extinction technology. They have been proposed as potentially able to eradicate malarial mosquitoes, agricultural pests, invasive species, as well as having potential military uses.

"There is no transparency about who is influencing decisions on the future of global ecosystems, people’s livelihoods, or our food system,” said Dana Perls of Friends of the Earth, U.S. “Gene drives could have profound ecological, health and socio-economic impacts, and the emails reveal a secretive attempt to game the system by gene drive proponents aiming to minimize regulations and oversight.”

Despite the public perception that conservation and public health are what motivates gene drive research, it is known that, besides the contribution of the Gates Foundation, most gene drive funding comes from the DARPA, the technology foresight arm of the US Dept of Defense.

“Gene drives are a powerful and dangerous new technology and potential biological weapons that could have disastrous impacts on peace, food security and the environment, especially if misused,” said Jim Thomas of ETC Group. “

The fact that gene drive development is now being primarily funded and structured by the US military raises alarming questions about this entire field.”

  Orange UFO Ware Shoals, South Carolina, UNITED STATES 2022 Jan 29 • 01:01 PM EST
Posted by: Waterglass - 05-19-2024, 10:36 AM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - No Replies

The truth is out there. 

Why I have posted this Enigma link is because since 2018 I and other witnesses have seen these pulsating - flashing orange UFO's in South Carolina. We face the Georgia - South Carolina Border and also can see what flies over the Savannah River Nuclear Reservation. All are about 60 miles out from our home. I have never been able to capture the orange UFO's on video with my Samsung Android phone. The phone always malfunctions. The majority of the orange UFO's head to the Hartwell, Georgia region and dissipate as in simply disappear up into space. Hartwell is located 11 miles away from the since destroyed Georgia Guide Stones.  In the 1500's the Cherokee Indians described Hartwell, Georgia  as the Center of the World. I wonder what they saw back then? 

I have attached a link to the video and my enhance screen shot of the object. To me it looks like pure energy as I cant detect a geometric shape.  I used FastStone Image viewer. Zoomed in 900%, reduced noise 100% and sharpened image. I have done this over 300 times. We have seen [4] types of UFO's in South Carolina. I felt that the orange ones were ET. 

My reference on this is a book written by Terry Ray. A former USA fighter pilot.  I own the book and his 1st recorded sighting in the book is in the late 1800's. Heres his link:

  Military Officials UFO/OVNI/UAP Statements.
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-19-2024, 09:59 AM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - Replies (6)

Following on from pilots and police there are also some pretty interesting statements below regarding the reality of unidentified flying objects from Military Officials.

Apologies for the long read but after looking through some of the highly dubious 'official' UFO explanations; the internal reaction to the UFO subject from military and intelligence communities and specific content from official government documentation then would say they're definitely worth a look.

Not his biggest fan but also thought Alejandro Rojas did a great job in the presentation below going through all the many other official international UFO/OVNI/UAP investigative bodies and reckon the average Joe (if there is such a thing) would be genuinely surprised just how many there are.

The presentation also brings up some rather intriguing research into the possible modern day UFO reporting mechanism of 'OPREP-3' and some great work by Paul Dean charting NORAD's involvement.








Quote:What many do not know is that France and several South American countries currently have active official government and/or military UFO research organizations. We will examine these organizations, past and present, and the amazing UFO cases that have prompted their creation.

Posted by: Maxmars - 05-19-2024, 12:51 AM - Forum: Science & Technology - Replies (2)

I had visited an excellent thread topic by Kenzo earlier this year, "The other brain."  When I ran across this article, it seemed a perfect follow-on.

From ScienceNews.org: The heart plays a hidden role in our mental health
Subtitled: The organ sends messages to the brain. How those signals influence it is still unclear

It appears that the heart doesn't simply reserve it's nerve signals for the sole purpose of circulatory concerns.  Scientists have discovered that while the brain does control essential messages to regulate the heart, it also is responding to messages from the heart itself... and those messages have a bearing on our perceptions, emotions, and even thought processes.
 


Powerful signals travel from the heart to the brain, affecting our perceptions, decisions and mental health. And the heart is not alone in talking back. Other organs also send mysterious signals to the brain in ways that scientists are just beginning to tease apart.

A bodywide perspective that seeks to understand our biology and behavior is relatively new, leaving lots of big, basic questions...

 A deeper understanding of how we sense and use signals from inside our bodies — a growing field called interoception — may point to new treatments for disorders such as anxiety.



How our hearts communicate with our brains has shown to have an effect on how well we can see.  The heart can also affect what you can recall, and perhaps even have an effect on intuition and decision-making...
 

Signals from the heart also appear to play a role in memory. In lab experiments, people were shown brief blips of words on a screen. When a word showed up as the heart was contracting, a squeezing phase called systole, people were more likely to forget the word on later memory tests, neuroscientist Sarah Garfinkel and colleagues reported in 2013 in Psychophysiology.

There are hints that the heart can influence intuitions, decision making and emotions. People who were better able to feel their hearts’ rhythms reacted more intensely to emotional images than people who were worse at sensing their heartbeat, for instance.

These results and others suggest the tantalizing possibility that our brains are taking in and using information from the heart — and perhaps other interoceptive awareness — to help us make sense of the world. But findings from people are often correlational. It’s been hard to know whether beating hearts caused the effects or whether they just happened at the same time.



I would offer the idea that perhaps the old saying "Follow your heart" may have meaning beyond the metaphorical... and maybe even an indicator of some ancient knowledge masquerading as wisdom (I know, s-t-r-e-t-c-h.  Rolleyes

"Gut hunches" may soon follow... maybe.

  Three very old stars circling our galaxy... too old.
Posted by: Maxmars - 05-19-2024, 12:16 AM - Forum: Space - Replies (7)

MIT Researchers have reported locating three stars circling our galaxy... buzzing around the galaxy's halo... in the wrong direction. 

Also, these three stars appear to be 12 or 13 billion years old.  Far too old to have been born in our much younger galaxy.

There has been a suggestion that they must have been 'accreted' into orbit when a smaller globular galaxy was 'absorbed' in the distant past.

Details from MIT News: MIT researchers discover the universe’s oldest stars in our own galactic backyard
Subtitled: Three stars circling the Milky Way’s halo formed 12 to 13 billion years ago.

[Image: MIT-Oldest-Stars-01-press.jpg?itok=_-SbY-DR]
 


...
The stars’ low chemical abundance did hint that they originally formed 12 to 13 billion years ago. In fact, their low chemical signatures were similar to what astronomers had previously measured for some ancient, ultrafaint dwarf galaxies. Did the team’s stars originate in similar galaxies? And how did they come to be in the Milky Way?

On a hunch, the scientists checked out the stars’ orbital patterns and how they move across the sky. The three stars are in different locations throughout the Milky Way’s halo and are estimated to be about 30,000 light years from Earth. (For reference, the disk of the Milky Way spans 100,000 light years across.)

As they retraced each star’s motion about the galactic center using observations from the Gaia astrometric satellite, the team noticed a curious thing: Relative to most of the stars in the main disk, which move like cars on a racetrack, all three stars seemed to be going the wrong way. In astronomy, this is known as “retrograde motion” and is a tipoff that an object was once “accreted,” or drawn in from elsewhere.

“The only way you can have stars going the wrong way from the rest of the gang is if you threw them in the wrong way,” Frebel says.



So we have here, in our galactic neighborhood, some stars that were formed at the 'beginning' of our universe.  I hope this might be the beginning of our sifting through the 400 billion or so stars remaining... and figuring out a better picture of just how the observable universe has taken its shape, as it were.

  X-59 passes FRR
Posted by: Zaphod58 - 05-18-2024, 08:33 PM - Forum: Aircraft Projects - Replies (1)

The NASA X-59 Quiet Supersonic aircraft has passed the Flight Readiness Review. The FRR is the first step towards flying.  The review board is made up of members in various areas that review the planned safety guidelines for staff and public during flight and ground testing.  Next up is the Airworthiness and Flight Safety Review. Meanwhile the test team will be completing engine run and ground tests validating the fixes to the issues found last year.
 

Quote: 
NASA has taken the next step toward verifying the airworthiness for its quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft with the completion of a milestone review that will allow it to progress toward flight. 
 

A Flight Readiness Review board composed of independent experts from across NASA has completed a study of the X-59 project team’s approach to safety for the public and staff during ground and flight testing. The review board looked in detail at the project team’s analysis of potential hazards, focusing on safety and risk identification.  
Flight Readiness Review is the first step in the flight approval process. The board’s work will provide the X-59 team with insights and recommendations toward systems checkouts on the ground and first flight.

  Police Officer UFO/OVNI/UAP Statements.
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-18-2024, 01:41 PM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - Replies (1)

Following on from this thread dealing with UFO witness statements from pilots and aviation professionals there's also a bunch below dealing with Unidentified Flying Objects and Police Officers.

Granted Police Officers are just normal folks like the rest of us but I suppose they are highly trained and experienced in reporting what they see and there's a 1975 FBI briefing document below from Project Bluebook's Dr J Allen Hynek which also states 'experience definitely shows that the best reports, those with the greatest information content, come from technically trained, professional people, especially law enforcement personnel.

Anyway there's certainly no shortage of incredibly strange police UFO incidents and would say the Wendy Connors audio archive linked below is well worth a listen on a rainy day.

• "It was soaring across the field and we were actually dumbfounded - it was so low you could see the oval shape of the object with a red light in front and a red light to the rear of it. It appeared to be cigar shaped, maybe the size of an automobile - from red light to red light there appeared to be illuminated white lights the whole length of it. I thought I was going to look in the windows and see something extraordinary because we were that close. It just soared and hovered and was actually unbelievable."

• “I went down and the craft was hovering between Clarenville and Random Island, right on the water. It was only a couple hundred feet off the water. It was there for good two hours before it left. I’m familiar with aircrafts of all shapes and sizes. But the metal on it was not like aircraft metal. It was very dull and not shiny at all. It wasn’t even smooth. It was very coarse looking. The technology was way beyond what we had then and still way beyond what we have now.”

• "What I saw was a dome shaped object approximately 15 feet wide and 3 to 4 feet thick at the centre.. This time the object was so close that I braked and pulled off onto the shoulder of the roadway and stopped. As I sat there watching the object my motor, lights and radio ceased to function.

It was hovering about 20 feet away at 10 feet altitude, I attempted to contact dispatch but my radio would not work. After a few seconds a white light came from the top of the dome and lit up the inside of my patrol unit."

The bottom was surrounded by colored lights like neon lights in blue, red, green and white which blinked in a sequence as if they were rotating, and in the middle there were three spheres or hemispheres. It was a huge thing, about 100 feet in diameter, and it made no noise whatsoever. What fascinated me even more was that the object was enveloped in a kind of halo which made its entire metallic structure glow white. It flew slowly over our heads and seemed to land at a place behind a group of trees. But we couldn 't see or check that out because at that point it was too far away and in the middle of the moor."

The bulk of the object appeared to be dark gray in color with no other distinguishing features. It appeared to be about 200 feet wide and 40-50 feet thick in the middle, tapering off toward both ends. There was no noise or any trail. The bright purple light illuminated the ground directly underneath it and the area in front of it, including the highway and the interior of our patrol car. After arriving at approximately its original position, it went straight up in the air and disappeared at 25-30 degrees above the horizon."

• "I headed towards this object and as I got close to it, I got within about 25 yards of the object, what I saw quite baffled me. I realized this object was actually hovering off the ground.

As I was sat in the police car I could actually see under the object, it was actually hovering about 5 feet off the ground. The span of it was taking most of the road up - it was about 20 feet wide.

It was diamond in shape, it appeared to be in two halves joined together - the bottom half appeared to be rotating, the top half looked to be stationary. I mean I was absolutely flabbergasted."

• "I was still checking property and facing the back of the shops when I heard a high pitched whine, for a moment I couldn’t place the noise as it was most unfamiliar to the normal surroundings. I turned around and saw a greenish, grey glow in the sky about 100 yards from me and about 35 feet up in the air.

I stopped in my tracks and was unable to believe what I could see. However I gathered myself together after a couple of seconds and made the following observations. The object was about the length of a bus and estimated at being 20 feet wide. It was elliptic in shape and emanated a greenish grey glow which I can only describe as an eerie greeny colour. It appeared to be motionless of itself, that is there was no impression of rotation. The object was about 15 feet in height. The object had a flat bottom.

The object remained stationary for about five seconds then without any change in the whine it started moving at a very fast rate in an East-South-East direction. It disappeared from view very quickly. When it started moving it did not appear to rotate but moved off sideways with the 30 foot length to the front and rear."

I thought perhaps at first that it could be an aircraft in trouble, as it appeared to be a landing light from an aircraft. I proceeded about a mile and three tenths or a mile and four tenths when the light intercepted my vehicle causing damage to a headlight, putting a dent in the hood, breaking the windshield and bending antennas on top of the vehicle.

When it got closer, I noticed several larger windows that projected light from inside the craft.. There were three larger red and green lights running vertically along the front edge of the craft. I was trying to pay attention to as many details as I could, and the one thing that stands out in my mind is that the speed was so slow and the muffled jet engine sound did not match and the sound was farther behind the craft.. I also estimated this craft to be around 100 feet long and approximately 200 feet high. It was moving too slowly for its size."

I was freaking out, I was like 'what the hell is this?'. I stopped and wanted to listen to see if I could hear any type of engine noise, I could not hear anything. I tried to look again at the UFO and it had already gone behind these trees.

I put it in reverse to back up for a couple of seconds to see if I could reacquire it again and by the time I had backed up to see it, it had moved at least a mile away if not further. I was astonished, I didn't know what to say, I was speechless."

I tried to get out of the car but I felt a kind of half-paralyzed sensation. I noticed that the car trembled and shook and started to rock a little, back and forth. I spoke to the soldiers and warned them that we were suffering a sort of surprise attack. We were terrified, I was scared because there was no defense against it. I felt helpless. We tried to run away but the engine wouldn't start and the radio system was completely out of order. We couldn't understand what was happening to us..

At this time the UFO moved away again and when we last saw the lights, they were very far away. We noticed that they blinked and at the same time the city's lights blinked. We noticed that the whole district was blacked out, and when the radio was working again we were informed that the power and light company had reported a power failure in the area and had no explanation for it."

• Red Bluff UFO flap, August, 1960:




Quote:• "At this time it was clearly visible to both of us. It was surrounded by a glow making the round or oblong object visible. At each end, or each side of the object, there were definite red lights. At times about five white lights were visible between the red lights. As we watched the object moved again and performed feats that were actually unbelievable.

At this time, we radioed Tehama County Sheriff’s Office requesting they contact local radar base. The Radar Base confirmed the U.F.O. – completely unidentified.

We made several attempts to follow it, or I should say get closer to it, but the object seemed aware of us and we were more successful remaining motionless and allow it to approach us, which it did on several occasions. Each time the object neared us, we experienced radio interference.

We returned to the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office and met Deputy Fry and Deputy Montgomery, who had gone to Los Molinos after contacting the radar base. Both had seen the U. F. O. clearly and described to us what we saw. The night jailer also was able to see the object for a short time, each described the object and its maneuvers exactly as we saw them."

Quote:• "This is the strangest thing that (we) have ever witnessed. We would have not believed this story if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes. These objects could move at fantastic speeds, and make very sharp turns, dive and climb, and hover with great maneuverability. We have no idea what these objects were, or where they could have come from.. It would swing back and forth like a pendulum, then shoot upward at tremendous speed, hover and then come down just as fast..

It looked like an arc. It was round. We turned around and started following it through Dexter for five miles. It was headed west and we stopped. We lost it in the trees. Either the lights went off or it took off with a tremendous burst of speed. It was about 1,500 feet above the ground. It moved along at about 100 mph. We were doing 70 before losing it near Wylie Road."

Washtenaw County Deputy Sheriffs BuFord Bushroe and John Foster.







• "It moved very rapidly in any direction it wanted to go, it could change and go to the right or to the left or go across-ways without hesitating a bit. If they call it a flying saucer then that's what it is."

Police Sergeant Noel Schneider, Sherriff's Office.







• "It suddenly appeared over my patrol car at a height of about 1,000 feet, it had white and red lights on it that at times had a bluish tinge - it hovered over the car before continuing sweeps over the swamp. I watched the object for a few minutes before it was joined by three others that flew in formation, with one set of two flying high above the other two. They then disappeared into the sky."

Patrolman Robert Hunawill, Dexter Village Police Department.







• "Dr. Hynek was sent in from the U.S. government. He came into my office. We went out to the site where supposedly this object came down on the ground. Dr. Hynek in the car said, 'There is something. We just can't put our finger on it. We've been investigating this for quite a while.'

He was on the phone for quite a while, which I found very enlightening, he came out and I said, 'Well, Dr. Hynek. What do you think?' He said, 'It's swamp gas.' He tells me one minute he has no idea what it is. And then he makes one phone call to Washington and comes out and gives a statement that it's swamp gas. Very strange.''

• Ohio UFO flap, October, 1973:




Quote:• "It was 100 feet in diameter and glowed with a bright white light. It had a red area on top of it, as if it was overheated, and made a dull humming sound that increased in frequency as the object increased in speed. There were about 20 people out there looking at it at the time I was, so I know I'm not crazy."

Police Patrolman Mike Conklin.







• "It was white in color with a yellow glow at one end - I never believed in UFOs until tonight, some guy tried to tell me it was a star, but no star I've ever seen made a humming sound or jumped up and down or was so near the ground."

Police Sergeant Hugh Oyer.







• "The officer said it was oblong and covered with lights. It appeared stationary in the sky about tree top level for several minutes until he tried to shine his cruiser spot light on it - it then zoomed toward him and then shot straight up in the air after he turned out his light and disappeared. They would be behind the trees and come up and fly away.. as if you startled it or something - no balloon, helicopter or kite can move that fast or has that many lights attached or can go so quickly in a straight-up direction".

Police Patrolman Joseph Cisco.







• “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”

Police Officer George Dyckman.







• "It was a bright white light. As I said: just like on a locomotive. It was funnel-shaped. It seemed to come out of some object, like a funnel. In other words, it spread out as if it were focused through a telescope. It was narrow at one end in the sky and spread out into a very wide beam as it approached our upper gatehouse at the dam. The strangest part of it was that there was no noise attached to this object. None whatsoever. It was absolutely silent. A silent light."

• "It's about fifty feet across, and I can just make out a dome or something on the top, but that's very dark. The bottom is real bright; it's putting out a beam of light that makes a big spot underneath. It's like it's sitting on the beam. It was overhead a minute ago, and it was as bright as day here: Our headlights didn't make nearly as much light as it did. And this is no helicopter or anything like that; it's perfectly still and it just makes a humming noise."

Police Officer Dale Spaur.







• "The object was the shape of half a football, was very bright and about 25 to 35 feet in diameter.. The object continued to go upward until it got as small as a ballpoint pen. Relative to the moon, the object was quite distant and to the left of the moon. We all four watched the object shoot straight up and disappear."

Police Officer Frank Panzenella.







• "It went PSSSSSHHEW, straight up; and I mean when it went up, friend, it didn't play no games; it went straight up."

  Is The FBI and DOJ setting up a Potential Biden Arrest?
Posted by: Waterglass - 05-18-2024, 12:11 PM - Forum: General Conspiracies - Replies (17)

So grandpa is out there or is he on a controlled substance to make him appear so to provide him the means of plausible deniability? Why I bring this up is because every now and then if someone pushes the right button he snaps to attention and gives some snarky comment just like I am sure his old man did back in the day when he was a used car salesman. 

That being aside I am beginning to wonder whether FBI Chris Wray keeps saying in public that all hell is breaking loose in the USA and he’s connecting the dots to the borders and the 2024 election. Almost warning Biden to do his job as in securing the borders

So in brief I will assume that what he’s saying in public is also being presented to the Biden administration and to Biden himself. That alone action by Wray to me points that Wray isn’t owned by the Chinese a Drug Cartel, Bill Gates or George Soros. So in effect since he continues to speak out and up and if nothing is done at the Executive level can the USDOJ charge President Biden and others with willful neglect to purposely NOT uphold the US Constitution of the USA? Wray recently comments on the attack over in Russia. Said the same could happen here and I am sure Russia doesn’t have wide open borders. 

I am assuming that Biden did swear to uphold the US Constitution when he’s was sworn in? Possibly he didn’t as a result of the January 6, 2021 uprising at the swearing in ceremony. I will have to go back and look. How about his sidekick. Mrs. Giggles? 

So I put this in the conspiracy docket as I sense also that something will go down either before, during or after the election in 2024. USMSM will blame MAGA. It’s so convenient isn’t it.

  NORMS FOR PROCEEDING IN THE DISCERNMENT OF ALLEGED SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA
Posted by: Waterglass - 05-18-2024, 09:41 AM - Forum: Paranormal Studies - Replies (2)

I am a transfer to this site from the old place. I wrote much about my paranormal experiences in the SLED735 Thread on Paranormal experiences. She basically told me that I had Sleep Paralysis via PM in 2018. It began at age 7, and accelerated during Christmas week 2018 and into January 2019 along with visitations of the 7' black hooded thing that I was told in October 2022 that it’s the Guardian of the Threshold.  [Reference: Rudolf Steiner] That thing has visited me almost 1000 times throughout my life as it 1st manifested in a bedroom closet in a brand new built home decades ago. My two brothers also sensed evil such that one brother slept with a light on his entire childhood. None of us were ever molested or abused. 

That being said I had a life changing event in May 2021 such that it caused me to contact several PhD's and the Catholic Church. I had abandoned the church decades ago only attending for funerals and holidays. 

In brief my local Pastor requested that Father Robert Morey from the Catholic Diocese of Charleston be sent to my home in 2021 so as to evaluate me, our home and to the things I have experienced that go beyond my Sleep Paralysis. 

In brief he’s also a Vatican trained Exorcist. He also had a lay team of professionals which includes three psychiatrists to evaluate me for mental illness as required. That never happened as I had a partial explanation of the age 7 Sleep Paralysis as I was told by an older boy that he placed a curse on me after my dad called the police in him.  The older boy tried to get me to perform a sex act as a 7 year old on a girl, I surmise was either4 or 5 years old. I was instructed to put my hotdog into her hamburger bun. I didn’t and took off on my bike.  Did it have a lasting effect on me and my life? Yes it did as I never realized my full potential in life. [Reference: Denzel Washington] I had a good life but it could have been much better. 

Father Morey said that the 7’ thing is a demon and that I have been under spiritual attack since age 7. I took care of most of it in 2018-2019 when I began to pray to God. Then a brilliant white shield began to appear several times. It took me a year of research but it’s the Shield of Faith or Armor of God. The visitations by the 7’ hoodie stopped. It has never returned and it’s now May 2024.

Father Morey instructed me to start going back to church, buy a book titled Manual for Spiritual Warfare, pray to the Rosary, and join a bible study group. Doing so I would be under the spiritual protection of the Catholic Church. 

In summary my last Sleep Paralysis episode was on January 31, 2022. It was a visitation by a 28 to 36 year old beautiful woman. I have no idea as to who she was.

Post 2018-2019 I have only had less than six Sleep Paralysis episodes. I was always on the fence about God and spiritual connections. No longer as I now believe as to just who can explain this from a science perspective. 

As such I will formally request that the above be investigated by the Catholic Church as:

  Pilot UFO/OVNI/UAP Statements.
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-18-2024, 03:59 AM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - Replies (5)

Certainly some extremely freaky pilot UFO encounters over the years and there are some relevant statements below involving aviation professionals and the reality of the UFO/OVNI/UAP subject (whatever the origins of these objects turn out to be).

The reports are global in nature and consistent over time and although the thread might be a long read hopefully it's an intriguing one as some of the objects being described sound incredibly bizarre.

Testimony from ATC/ Radar Operators is also included and many of the statements have been substantiated in official reports, books, interviews, letters, scientific reviews, open congressional hearings etc. - have tried to provide info for further research but lots of links have gone for good these days (lots of saved content on archived threads though).

If you know of any other relevant statements then please post!

NB • Also some other quotes here regarding the mystery of missing Naval Log books

• "I got the fright of my life because there appeared to be, smack in front of the aeroplane, three circular objects. Two of them were on a level keel and one of them was canted at a slight angle..They were circular and appeared to be stationary. But as we continued to climb they did in fact change position and to make sure of that we very carefully checked and these things moved across to the right-hand side somewhere. The higher we got, the more they lost this circular effect which appeared when looking at them from underneath. As they came down to your level they lost the circular effect and took on a 'flat plate' appearance.. I remember being told on landing that I looked fairly shaken, almost as if I had seen a ghost."

• "They had opaque grey fuselages and a sort of windshield, but without rivets and completely smooth.. What I would like to make clear is that my personal and professional reputation is safe thanks to the testimony of air traffic controllers. They had the three objects on their screens, making 270-degree turns in a very tight radius of action."

• "It was like looking at a piece of the sun. It was faster than anything I've ever seen. It may have been one very large object with brilliant center lights and surrounding lights of lesser magnitude, or separate objects. The smaller lights were either part of the mysterious object or this was an example of darn good formation flying."

Captain George Wilson - object(s) reported to hurtle toward his airliner then suddenly make an abrupt right turn and disappear to the south - nine hundred miles northeast of Honolulu, July 11th, 1959.

• "I saw a blue flash shoot past our airplane, more like something the size of the moon or smaller, it caught up with us. We flew at 800, 900 KM per hour but this went two, three times as fast. You could say it was a fighter jet or the exhaust but this object instantly stopped. I cannot say how big it was in reality, distances are hard to estimate in the air. It flew a bit higher than us, but the most bizarre thing is that it rushed by and came to a dead stop. It stood still for a few seconds then moved from the right to the left, stood still again for a few seconds and then it shot off on our left to the back. We were both flabbergasted literally - and speechless. So I decided to talk on the inter-pilot radio frequency and asked 'did anybody see that blue light?', I received an immediate response 'yes, yes I saw that, what was that?'. While I say this I am feeling the shivers because I am reliving it so to speak - I am not crazy and for me it was unexplainable."

• "About a minute into the descent whatever it was moved extremely quickly, I mean within a second and a half, from being three miles off our starboard wing around onto our nose. I turned around away from it and the damn thing followed us, still paralleling us, so it must have accelerated because it was on the outside of the turn."

• "As I drew nearer I could see that the object had no wings nor tail nor any other exterior control surfaces protruding from what appeared to be the fuselage. It seemed to be hovering with a little rocking motion. As it rocked up away from me, I could see that it was a disc shaped object. I would guess the diameter at about 50 to 55 feet, the thickness in the middle at about 8 to 10 feet. It had the appearance of sand-blasted aluminum. I could see no windows or doors or any other openings, nor could I see any landing gear doors, protruding, nor showing.. It rose abruptly about 1000 feet above me as I closed in, giving me an excellent view of the underneath side, which was exactly like the upper side as far as I could tell."

At 10:15, Mountain Standard Time, I sighted two round silvery objects flying abreast over Hermanas, New Mexico. One made a right turn, in front of my F-84. Both objects disappeared at very high speed, then reappeared over El Paso, Texas. I saw one climb straight up, two or three thousand feet. Then the second one came across in front of me and joined the other in close formation. In a few minutes they both vanished. From their maneuvers and their terrific speed, I am certain their flight performance was greater than any aircraft known today."

USAF Colonel Carl Sanderson.

• "I decided to climb at full thrust to get above the object, but it began to ascend almost parallel to my plane, and when I reached 63,000 ft., it stopped. At this point, I came to within about 300 feet of the UFO. It was about 30 feet in diameter. It was an enameled, cream-colored dome, with a wide, circular, metallic base. It had no engines, no exhausts, no windows, no wings or antennae. It lacked all the typical aircraft components, with no visible propulsion system. It was at that moment that I realized this it was not a spying device, but that it was a UFO, something totally unknown."

• "The Meteor, meanwhile, turned towards Dishforth and the object, while continuing its descent, appeared to follow suit. After a further few seconds, the object stopped its pendulous motion and its descent, and began to rotate on its own axis. Suddenly it accelerated at an incredible speed towards the west turning onto a south easterly heading before disappearing. All this occurred in a matter of fifteen to twenty seconds. The acceleration was in excess of that of a shooting star. I have never seen such a phenomenon before. The movements of the object were not identifiable with anything I have seen in the air and the rate of acceleration was unbelievable."

• "All of a sudden I was able to make out the complete form of a saucer shape or round object.. I could see the dome, also very vividly clear, including all the windows, I observed it to be of a very bright metal - it was more of a nickel or highly polished chrome or stainless steel type of metal than aluminum because it had more of a mellow glow than if it was of the type finish on a high finish aluminum."

We were near Bakersfield, California when Governor Reagan and the others called my attention to a big light flying a bit behind my plane. It appeared to be several hundred yards away. It was a fairly steady light until it began to accelerate, then it appeared to elongate. Then the light took off. It went up at a 45-degree angle-at a high rate of speed. Everyone on the plane was surprised. Governor Reagan expressed amazement. I told the others I didn't know what it was.. The UFO went from a normal cruise speed to a fantastic speed instantly - If you give an airplane power it will accelerate, but not like a hot rod, and that's what this was like."

This craft was 50 to 60 feet long with a grey metallic structure. On the front of this craft was a large steady bright red light. I could delineate where the red stopped on the structure of this craft because red was reflecting off the grey structure. The design of this craft was symmetrical in shape with a prominent aft indentation on the undercarriage. From this portion of the undercarriage, a green light, pyramid-shaped, emerged with the light initially in the trail position. This green light then swung 90 degrees, coming directly into the front windshield and lighting up the entire cockpit of the aircraft. All colors inside the cabin of the helicopter were absorbed by this green light. That includes the instrument panel lights on the aircraft. As a result of my experience, I am convinced this object was real and that these types of incidents should require a thorough investigation."

Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence J. Coyne describes UFO witnessed with three other airmen over Mansfield, Ohio, October 18th, 1973.

• "There were bright objects hanging over the sea. The closest object was luminous, round and four to five times larger than a Whirlwind helicopter.
The objects separated. Then one went west of the other, as it manoeuvred it changed shape to become body-shaped with projections like arms and legs."

RAF Flight Lt A.M. Wood, RAF Boulmer, Northumberland - object confirmed on radar and witnessed by two RAF personnel (British MOD document so sensitive that 'an extra three years added to its 25 year release date').

• "A mysterious elliptical luminous object appeared just after I had passed Himeji. I was flying at the time at an altitude of about 2,000 metres. The object followed for a while, and then stopped for about three minutes, and then followed along my left wing across the Inland Sea for a distance of about 90 kilometres until we reached Matsuyama on Shikoku Island. It then disappeared."

Yoshiaka Inaba, TOA Airlines pilot over the Leshima Islands in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan - March, 1965 (Tokyo Japan Times / UPI Agency release originating from Hiroshima).

• "The sighting was definitely of some flying object unlike anything then or even presently known."

Cmdr. M. B. Taylor, USNR (Ret.), former Navy pilot and guided missile expert under Rear Adm. Delmer S. Fahrney - July 3rd, 1949.

• "Just after this exchange, the object began to maneuver. It darted hither and yon, rising and falling in undulating flight, making sharper turns than any known aircraft, sometimes changing direction 90 degrees in an instant. All the while the color remained constant, a brilliant blue-white, and the object did not grow or lessen in size. Macintosh and I sat there completely flabbergasted at this unnerving exhibition. I thought of calling the passengers over the public address system, but the object was dead ahead of us and putting on its performance in an area whose arc was not large enough to enable anybody in the cabin to get a view of it out the side windows. After a half minute or so of this dancing, unorthodox flight the object suddenly became motionless and hovered dead still. We were simply confounded by this."

Capital Airlines Pilot Captain W. J. Hull, object also witnessed by Co-Pilot Macintosh - Alabama, 1956.

• "Off my wing. a little below us, in the direction of Cologne, I saw four or five objects that looked like silvery footballs. They didn't seem to be moving. but they must have been, for they stayed even with us."

• "I noticed an object coming toward us from the direction of Youngstown to the southeast, I swung over to get a closer look when the object headed directly toward our airplane. It stopped and hung motionless in the air momentarily, and as our aircraft came closer, it moved swiftly upward and came back at us from another angle. It appeared metallic and had a light beaming from its underside, it was from six to ten feet in diameter and from 16 to 20 feet tall. It suddenly sped in an easterly direction at amazing speed and was quickly out of sight."

Cessna 172 Skyhawk Pilot Richard Montgomery - Warren, Ohio, July 8th, 1968.

• "Suggestions that the three objects were balloons, stars or satellites, strange clouds or reflections are quite unacceptable to us. As I looked to the west we saw this very bright headlamp in the sky. All the cabin staff saw it too and I told the passengers. Then it was joined by two cigar-shaped objects as big and solid as battleships."

British Airways Captain Dennis Wood, Portugal, July 30th, 1976.

• "I set my course and walked back aft and Dr Mosier was sitting back there and he was a Commander in the Navy at the time and I asked him, 'Doc did you see what we saw?' and he said 'Yes, it was a flying saucer - I didn't look at it because I don't believe in such things'."

Naval Pilot Lieutenant Graham Bethune, object also witnessed by Co-Pilot Lt. Fred W. Kingdon - Flight 125 from Keflavik, February 10th, 1951.

• "It definitely had no wings. It was brown, appeared to be round and had a number of projections, looking rather like some kind of radio antennae, on its surface. I have never seen anything like it before."

• "I approached the object, which was flashing with intense red, green, orange and blue light so bright that I was not able to see its body. The sequence of flashes was extremely fast, like a strobe light. We locked on it with radar; it was at 30° left, at a range of 25 miles. The size on the radar scope was comparable to that of a 707 tanker."

General Parviz Jafari (Ret.), Tehran, Iran, September, 1976.

• "The object was humongous, whatever it was.. I don't know if it was a biblical experience or somebody from a different universe or whatever but it was definitely not from around these parts."

• "Mayday, Mayday, Ercoupe ocho cero, eight zero, zero, Hotel. We can see a strange object in our course, we are lost, Mayday, Mayday. Ah we are going from Santo Domingo to ah San Juan International but we found ah a weird object in our course that made us change course about three different times we got it right in front of us now at one o’clock, our heading is zero seven zero degrees.. our altitude one thousand six hundred a zero seven zero degrees.. our VORs got lost off frequency.. Right now we are supposed to be a about thirty five miles from the coast of Puerto Rico but we have something weird in front of us that make us lose course all the time I changed our course a second (unintelligible) our present heading right now is three hundred we are right again in the same stuff sir.”

• "In concealing the evidence of UFO operations, the Air Force is making a serious mistake."

USAF Lieutenant Colonel James McAshan.







• "Now all pilots today by law in the civil aviation regulation are required to report any observation that may come under the heading of unidentified flying object. It seems strange in some way that the government position frequently appears to be to obtain this information and then through government policy (or whatever motivates the government position) to try and immediately ridicule the experiences of these people."

USAF Lieutenant Colonel J. B. Hartranft, Jr. (Ret.), Pilot and President of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) - Press Conference, March 28th, 1966.

• "There is a publication called JANAP 146E that had a section that says you will not reveal any information regarding the UFO phenomenon under penalty of $10,000 fine and ten years in jail. I never reported anything to FAA or the military. A lot of pilots just did not want to get involved in this because of peer pressure and ridicule. So the secret has been kept."

US Navy Pilot Lieutenant Frederick M. Fox.

• "We've seen something, I've seen something, hundreds of pilots have seen something in the skies - we have dutifully reported these things and we have to have 15 million witnesses before anybody is going to look into the problem seriously? Why this is utterly fantastic, this is more fantastic than flying saucers or people from Venus or anything as far as I'm concerned."

Pilot Kenneth Arnold.

• Pilot statements from NICAP report on 'Air Force Observations':



Quote:• "I was on a mission from Ceylon, bombing Palembang, Sumatra. The date was August 10, 1944.. the right gunner and my co-pilot reported a strange object pacing us about 500 yards off the starboard wing. At that distance it appeared as a spherical object, probably 5 or 6 feet in diameter, of a very bright and intense red or orange in color. It seemed to have a halo effect. My gunner reported it coming in from about five o'clock position at our level. It seemed to throb or vibrate constantly. Assuming it was some kind of radio controlled object sent to pace us, I went into evasive action, changing direction constantly as much as 90 degrees and altitude about 2000 feet. It followed our every maneuver for about 8 minutes, always holding a position of about 500 yards out and about 2 o'clock in relation to the plane. When it left, it made an abrupt 90 degree turn, up and accelerating rapidly; it disappeared in the overcast."

USAF Captain Alvah M. Reida, Airplane Commander on B-26's, B-24's and B-29's.







• "I was making a scheduled flight from Langley Field, Virginia to MacDill Field, Tampa, Florida. At approximately 6 p.m. while flying a C -47 at 4000 feel northeast of Tampa I observed what I thought to be a shooting star to the southeast over the Atlantic Ocean. My copilot, Lt. Henry F. Glass and my engineer both observed this object at the same time. This object continued toward us on a collision course at our exact altitude. At about 1000 yards it veered to cross our path. We observed it to be a long, cylindrical shape approximately twice the size of a B-29, with luminous portholes."

USAF Captain Jack Puckett, Flying Safety Officer, Tactical Air Command, 300th Base Unit, Langley Field, August 1st, 1946.







• "I chased the light up and down and around for about 10 minutes, then as a last resort I made a pass and turned on my landing lights. Just before the object made a final tight turn and headed for the coast I saw that it was a dark gray oval-shaped object, smaller than my T-6."

USAF Lt. Henry G. Combs describes a UFO which took 'violent evasive action' over Andrews AFB on November 18th, 1948.

• Pilot statements from NARCAP's technical report into 'under reporting bias' of the UFO/UAP phenomenon:





Quote:• "We didn't say anything. We figured nobody would believe us."

Charter Pilot.







• "Upon return to my domicile, JFK, I reported our sighting to the proper authorities. I was shortly visited by two federal investigators who evidently thought I was hallucinating for one of them stated he had seen spaceships while fishing in Great South Bay and was quite obviously trying to prove that I was a loony."

Captain, Pan Am (Ret.)







• "It must have been Huge! We were all due back at JFK about the same time two days later so I waited in the crew ready room to talk to them. None of them wanted to talk! They were afraid management would take them off of flying status and have them tested for booze and drugs. The story never came out!"

Flight Engineer, TWA (Ret.)







• "A group of lights in the air appeared at our 12o'clock position. I called departure control and asked them if they had any traffic in that area. When they came back and said NO, what do you see, I said no, just checking. For at that time when a pilot reported seeing a UFO he was in a lot of trouble."

Captain, Ozark Airlines (Ret.)







• "I, and Flight crew saw something (in broad daylight) that did things that no known aircraft could do without killing any living thing inside. I will only give sketchy details to protect the privacy of the rest of the crew. If you are interested, and all information (is) kept anonymous, contact me. I will not present myself for public ridicule."

  How about a prediction that is coming true as we breathe

I would say the following video pretty much covers everything... Why people can not see this and demand a change is sad and destructive for the Republic IMO.. Instead of death by a 1000 cuts it looks like it only takes 25...

I heard someone say the open border crap was the kill shot for America. I would add not just America but many western civilizations with open borders and the great influx of foreign nationals  who come from religious societies that have made their countries into the Sh*t holes they profess they are fleeing from. Yet they try to change the host country into the same totalitarian type religious regime they left behind...many countries today will be unrecognizable in as little as two generations .... there are already no go zones in host countries where the citizens are not welcomed (possibly harmed) by the new arrivals.

Random Thoughts


The thread title itself sums it up pretty well. Any thoughts or incomplete ideas to be quickly jotted down that may not be ripe, ready, or evidently suitable at a glance for any other topic/subtopic.

It's fairly informal, and I've seen users on other forums make moderate use of such threads e.g. based on experience, I've been thinking about posting the pros and cons of buying cheap tires in my automotive thread.

Also, there was a recent proposal rejected a couple years ago that came up again that would prevent the general public from working on their own vehicles, and it was voted down again. I'd be interested to know the reasoning behind these proposals; of course I have ideas.

I have always starred or +1 rated those who replied to a thread of mine or if I agreed with them in a non-authored thread. I have tried to give positive ratings to those who have taken the time to reply to my threads (here) and I get a message that I have reached my limit of giving ratings for today ??

Maybe a glitch ?? Rogue Nation has the same format as this board however we can keep hitting the rate and give more than + one positive for an outstanding thought or thread.

Sorry just wondering ?
