1950S Norwegian Ufo Mystery Solved

1950S Norwegian Ufo Mystery Solved
Plenty of Norwegians thought aliens had taken a fancy to their country back in the 1950s thanks to a slew of inexplicable UFO sightings. Inexplicable no more: It was the CIA, reports the BBC. Actually, it was the CIA itself that fessed up in this tweet, which reads in part, "Remember reports of unusual activity in the skies in the '50s? That was us." It then provides a government writeup about the sightings, which weren't caused by alien spaceships but by U2 spy planes being tested. The planes flew above 60,000 feet, which wasn't thought possible at the time, so commercial pilots who saw something so far above them couldn't explain it. The effect was more pronounced at different times of the day and night, and if the U2 planes caught the rays of the sun just right, even people on the ground would see silvery glints of light. The explanation was kept classified for decades, notes the BBC, picking up on a report in the foreign-language "Aftenposten".

This Is Taboo For Exo Fantasists

This Is Taboo For Exo Fantasists
1) More than 90% of all sightings of "unidentified flying objects" are sightings of lights in the night sky.2) Trained investigators can easily identify up to 95% of all sighted flying saucers as conventional objects. 3) Where identification is not possible, it is invariably due to LACK OF INFORMATION, NOT TO INFORMATION THAT CANNOT BE "EXPLAINED" CONVENTIONALLY.4) Sources of nocturnal lights which have given rise to such sightings include: planets (especially Mars and Venus) and bright stars (30% of all cases); advertising planes (20% of all cases); commercial and military aircraft (18%); bright meteors, meteor fireballs, and satellite re-entries (10%). Daylight reports of flying saucers are much rarer; they are almost always due to aircraft or weather balloons.5) There have been several official and unofficial scientific studies of flying saucer reports, including a symposium sponsored by the AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE in December 1969. All such studies have come to the same fairly obvious conclusion: THERE IS NOT A SHRED, NOT THE TINIEST FRAGMENT, OF HARD PHYSICAL EVIDENCE THAT THE PLANET EARTH HAS EVER BEEN VISITED BY A VEHICLE OR OTHER SPACECRAFT MANUFACTURED ON ANOTHER WORLD OR PILOTED BY CREATURES FROM ANOTHER WORLD.6) Claims that real evidence does exist, but is kept top secret, cannot be taken seriously. HOW CAN ANYONE SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY AND THE WHOLE SCIENTIFIC ESTABLISHMENT COULD HAVE SUCCESSFULLY KEPT SUCH A SECRET FOR 64 YEARS- THROUGH TWELVE DIFFERENT PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATIONS?Science! vs. Pseudoscience!SCIENCE: The literature is written for scientists. There is peer review, and there are rigorous standards for honesty and accuracy.

PSEUDOSCIENCE: The literature is aimed at the general public. There is no review, no standards, no pre-publication verification, no demand for accuracy and precision.

SCIENCE: Reproducible, reliable results are demanded; experiments must be precisely described so that they can be duplicated exactly or improved upon in sensitivity and volume of cases or events.

PSEUDOSCIENCE: Results cannot be reproduced or verified. Studies, if any, are always so vaguely described that one can't figure out just what was actually done or how it was done.

SCIENCE: Failures are searched for and studied closely, since incorrect theories can often make correct predictions by accident but no correct theory will make incorrect predictions.

PSEUDOSCIENCE: Failures are ignored, excused, hidden, lied about, discounted, explained away, rationalized, forgotten, and avoided at all costs.

SCIENCE: As time goes on, more and more is learned about the physical processes under study.

PSEUDOSCIENCE: No actual physical phenomena or processes are ever found, noticed or studied. No progress is made; nothing concrete is learned.

SCIENCE: Individual defects, idiosyncrasies and blunders of investigators average out- do not affect the real "signal" under study.

PSEUDOSCIENCE: Individual defects, idiosyncrasies and blunders of investigators provide the only "signals" ever seen- the average is zero.

SCIENCE: CONVINCES BY APPEAL TO THE EVIDENCE, BY ARGUMENTS BASED UPON LOGICAL AND/OR MATHEMATICAL REASONING, BY MAKING THE BEST CASE THE DATA PERMIT. WHEN NEW EVIDENCE CONTRADICTS OLD IDEAS, THEY ARE ABANDONED.

PSEUDOSCIENCE: Convinces by appeal to faith and belief. PSEUDOSCIENCE IN ALMOST EVERY CASE HAS A VERY STRONG QUASI-RELIGIOUS ELEMENT: it tries to convert, not to convince. You are to believe in spite of the facts, not because of them. The original idea is never abandoned, whatever the evidence.

SCIENCE: There are no conflicts of interest; the scientist has no personal financial stake in any specific outcome of his studies.

PSEUDOSCIENCE: EVERYTHING IN PSEUDOSCIENCE SEEMS TO GENERATE SOMETHING FOR SALE; look for courses in how to remember past lives, on galactic diplomacy (sic.) Books about extraterrestrials and cover-up, and teaching how to hunt for ghosts, how to become a prophet, how to... you name it, you got it... BUT PAY UP FIRST.

Extrasensible Perception

Extrasensible Perception
BRIAN CLEGG. EXTRA SENSORY: THE SCIENCE AND PSEUDOSCIENCE OF TELEPATHY AND OTHER POWERS OF THE MIND. ST MARTINS PRESS, 2013.

It probably takes some guts for an established science writer to write a book about ESP and the like, and not to immediately write the whole thing off without a moment's thought. Perhaps being an outsider to the academic establishment Clegg is freer in such regard. Clegg provides a critical but not unsympathetic account of the subject. His interest seems to have been stimulated by a teenage incident in which he felt he was in telepathic contact with a friend, and, I suspect, a more cautious approach developed when he had an extraordinary non-precognitive experience, awaking one morning with the absolute certain 'knowledge' that the plane he was going to fly on that day was going to crash. So powerful was this feeling that he persuaded his sympathetic boss to allow him to change flights. The plane did not crash, and nothing bad happened at all. Of course, if the plane had crashed, that would have been excellent evidence for precognition, or would it have just been a coincidence. Clegg points out that feelings like this which don't pan out get forgotten, where those when some coincidence takes place become highly memorable. He begins his exploration of telepathy by examining the possible theories advanced for it, or at least some of them. His main interest, as a (ex)physicist is Brian Josephson's linking telepathy with quantum entanglement, an idea towards which Clegg is not wholly unsympathetic, though this is a controversial idea even among paranormalists with a physics background. There are two reasons for that, one is that it is considered axiomatic that quantum entanglement cannot be used to break special relativity by sending messages, and by the feeling that the brain is a far too complex and messy environment for quantum effects to play much role. He is far more sceptical of other theories, involving electromagnetism or an, as yet unknown, new force. He also points out that dualistic views also have overwhelming problems. Clegg argues that the main problem that scientists face in the field of parapsychology is that of cheating, and that this is especially the case in things like mediumship. I note that he came to the same conclusions as me over the Scole Affair, (he didn't read my review, I checked the references!), pointing out how every attempt to introduce controls led to one evasion and excuse after another. He examines in general some of the evidence for telepathy, precognition and psychokinesis, and points out some of the pitfalls in experiments such as those using the ganzfield, and also looks at the some of the work of Daryl Bem. He argues that in almost all of these studies, it is not clear that what is being studied is what the ordinary person would think of as telepathy etc, it is just statistical anomalies, which might suggest there is something there, but gives no clue as to what it is. He further notes that if PK is a real effect, affecting a moving dice would be a much more difficult feat than moving a very light static target. He takes a detailed look at the original experiments of J. B. Rhine the work of the remote viewers and the tricks of Uri Geller, showing how they each had multiple methodological flaws. Parapsychologists might correctly point out that this really is a selection of weak cases, sceptics might reply that are cases that easily show up the methodological errors that occur more subtly in other cases. I would like to have seen some discussion of the complex debates between Charles Honorton and Ray Hyman here, though I understand that they be just too recondite for a popular readership. Clegg also examines the work of Dean Radin and PEAR (Princton Engineering Anomalies research) and I get the feeling that he really doesn't understand what is being claimed here. Join the club! Clegg is surely right when he argues that the endless debates about statistical anomalies will never get anywhere, what is needed are clear decisive experiments, which replicate real life more. Here's a couple of examples of mine, for telepathy use identical twins in separate buildings, experiments performed by students who not told what the experiment is for, and monitor the brain activity of each. One twin is shown a series of slides of scenes ranging from the positive to the negative, from the arousing to the soporific etc. Experiments like these could be tweaked in a variety of ways. For psychokinesis, try moving a microgram weight in a completely environmentally controlled container (or given the claims that are made for RSPK) transmitting a microgram weight through a micrometre thick partition from one hermetically sealed container to another. To test what lies behind the statistical anomalies use computers doing millions of runs and not people. Clegg suggests that parapsychologists do not look for final definitive experiments, because just going from one vaguely suggestive result to another is a way of keeping the subject going and maintaining their positions. ["Much like ufologists, then - Ed".] Perhaps they suspect that the answer to such a definitive experiment would be negative, and indeed sceptics can point out that there have been any number of real world experiments with negative outcomes, not one case of a completely unambiguous prediction of a truly unexpected event made before the event, no football referee spontaneously combusted. If psychic powers are real they ought to be as an obvious and public as outstanding athletic, musical, artistic or any other ability and to be a quotidian part of our lives not occasional anomalies." - Peter Rogerson"

Welcome Ufo People

Welcome Ufo People
"The Collegian," the newspaper of Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, MI, has a great article today commemorating the 49th anniversary of the "Dexter-Hillsdale" UFO sightings, which is to this day one of the most significant events in UFO history.

Although largely remembered today for introducing the term "swamp gas" into the official lexicon of the UFO phenomenon, the D-H sightings were also noteworthy for causing the American public to lose all confidence in the Air Force's handling of the UFO phenomenon, for triggering the first Congressional hearing on UFOs, and for launching the famous University of Colorado Project, better known as "The Condon Committee, which led to the ultimate dismantling of "Project Blue Book," the Air Force's 20-year investigation of UFO reports, by which the government hoped to drive a wooden stake through the heart of the UFO phenomenon once and for all... Oh, and it also made Dr. J. Allen Hynek's name a household term.

"

Here's something you don't see every day: J. Allen Hynek being welcomed to southern Michigan."

The account in "The Collegian" is well researched and well written, even if it does repeat and reinforce the unfortunate mythology surrounding the event:

"So Dr. Allen J. Hynek, consultant to Project Blue Book and professor at North-western University, came to Hillsdale to inves-tigate. But after inter-viewing many key eyewit-nesses, including Evans, Hess, and Van Horn, he reached a simple conclusion: 87 eyewit-nesses were mistaken, and had seen only 'swamp gas.'"But that's not the conclusion Hynek reached at all. The truth is, Hynek never actually reached a conclusion. Pressured by his boss on Project Blue Book, Major Hector Quintanilla, to hold a hurried press conference and provide a "natural" explanation for the sightings, Hynek "suggested "that the lights that the Hillsdale students saw bobbing up and down in the college arboretum "may have been" swamp gas.

There were a lot of witnesses, and a lot of descriptions -- hell, half of southeast Michigan saw something in the skies that week -- but the descriptions varied so dramatically that Hynek only considered those that had common factors and dispensed with the outliers. Unfortunately for the true believers, the descriptions that had common factors all suggested the possibility of swamp gas (the witnesses were, after all, looking out over a densely-foliated arboretum in early spring shortly after an intense thunderstorm had saturated the ground, leading to somewhat, oh... let's say "swampy conditions) so, with no time to conduct a thorough investigation, that's what Hynek went with.

It wasn't a lie. It wasn't a cover-up. It wasn't a mistake. It wasn't a cowardly cop-out. It was the only logical speculation Hynek could make from the inconsistent testimony and scant evidence with which he was presented, and he presented it as just that: speculation.

What's more, one of the key witnesses, local undertaker and Civil Defense Director Bud Van Horn, told Hynek that when he saw the lights in the college arboretum he immediately thought they were swamp gas... Van Horn -- who went on to become one of Hynek's harshest critics -- was one of a half-dozen people who suggested the swamp gas theory to Hynek in the days leading up to the fateful press conference, yet no one ever assails their credibility or accuses them of taking part in a government cover-up.

One very interesting part of the story in "The Collegian" involves an interview with one of the local policemen who joined Van Horn at the college that night to look for the lights in the arboretum. Trust me when I say I have researched the hell out of this case and have never come across any statement from any local cop describing any "blinding light" coming from the arboretum that night. All the witnesses in the college dorm, Van Horn included, testified that the mystery lights were so dim they could only be seen when all the dorm lights were off; in fact, the lights disappeared completely when the police car drove by the arboretum with its lights on (This blinking out in the presence of other light sources, by the way, is one of the distinct characteristics of swamp gas... just sayin')

So, I'm not sure where this cop is coming from, but I'm damn sure going to find out.

Oh, and that comment about how the arboretum was found to be radioactive after the event? Those "findings" came from the investigation of noted local undertaker and nuclear expert Bud Van Horn. They were never verified by anyone.

Anyway, Happy Anniversary, swamp gas!

SHORT UFO FACT: [In title 14, section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations there is a law wich was added without public debate. It's a law that makes anyone who comes in contact with a UFO or an alien can be fined up to 5000 and be jailed for up to a tear. And a NASA administrator has the right to determine whetever a person needs to be in quarantine for extra-terrestrial exposure and for how long it's necessary. Anyone involved with UFOs and aliens are according to this law criminals.]

Ufo Glossary

4UFOS.COM UFO GLOSSARY:

(Term Followed By Definition)

USAF Flying Saucer

UFO GLOSSARY ON UFO NEWS

This is the UFO Glossary:


UFO DEFINITIONS AND DISCUSSION.

What follows are some of my own definitions for some key terms in Ufology and the study and research of UFOs and the UFO Phenomenon.

UFO


Unidentified Flying Object, currently in the year 2013, "UFO" is frequently used to denote Extraterrestrials or Aliens Visitors to Earth. Ultimately, most UFOs are actually one of a few sets of phenomena: aerial, stellar, terrestrial and perhaps some sort of extraterrestrial.

UFOLOGY IN 2013


Paranormal Genre of Science, some deem a pseudoscience, using the Scientific Method and good experiment methods to gain insight and understanding of actual physical clues of Real UFOs and Aliens. Still considered by many a pseudoscience - or a study that does not meet the criteria to be a legitimate peer-reviewed branch of the Scientific Studies.

EXOBIOLOGY


The study of life that exists outside or away from the Planet Earth. Any and all life that evolved on other worlds and solar systems qualifies to be Exobiological in Nature. Species of Extraterrestrial intelligence would be "sentient exobiological entities". Relative to EXOBIOLOGY, the field of study regarding any debate regarding how much influence mankind should have on the worlds around him, as well as the mostly supposition discussed of our interaction with any intelligent life of the Universe in the past, present or in the future: all-together known as the field of EXOPOLITICS.

UFO SIGHTING


A UFO Sighting is a specific type of paranormal encounter reported all over the world, from mysterious lights to unknown and suspicious and alien aircraft. In Real UFO Sightings popular culture, the most frequent "NEWEST UFO SIGHTINGS OF 2013" references find "Grey Aliens" and Extraterrestrial Entities at a completely different rate than actual UFO Field Investigators, who historically find down-to-Earth causes for up to 95% of all Reported UFO Sightings.

UFO DisclosureA emerging imperative in 2013 is revealing the truth about interactions between Extraterrestrials and the governments of the world.

This is of grave importance, with all of Ufology now hopeful for 2013 UFO disclosure.

Poor Sad UFO Alien. Dry your Tears...

REAL UFOS


Real UFOs in this frame of reference of this Glossary means crafts, whether piloted or unmanned drones, scouts or other unknown aircraft or spacecraft that are not those created by mankind but rather by Alien Intelligence - most often the term goes along with beings of Extraterrestrial Origin, but theories such as Extra-dimensional Aliens alongside the traditional extra-solar Aliens (beings not from our "Solar System". In Short: A REAL UFO is one that is of the more common connotation of UFO: an alien craft of some origin other than we here on Earth might have produced. Also, any biological entity that also causes such

"GREY ALIENS"Grey Aliens, popularly known as THE GREYS are a subspecies of a type of Extraterrestrial that has been reported to have had a significant amount of interaction with humankind over the many years of our existence. While the first mentions of the Grey Aliens is not until the mid 20th Century, there are many Ufologists, Exobiologists and proponents of the Ancient Astronaut Theory who believe that there is proof of Grey involvement on Earth as far back as mankind has existed.

GREY ALIEN ORIGINATORSAND THE ADAMUIN FACT, SOME BELIEVE THE ANCIENT "ADAMU "tales of the "SUMERIANS "were discussing the "Greys "as possible stars in that story: gods who came to Earth for Gold and took whatever mankind was before "Homo Sapiens" and altered us with their own genetic structure in order to have a better working force of slaves. There is no proof of such claims - no direct evidence at least, other than our genetic make-up, so perhaps when we do finally meet the real aliens officially, will they greet us as children or as a mutant bug - needing to be stepped on as fast as possible?2013 (c) Copyright Robert Hughey.

Ufos Spotted On World Ufo Day

Ufos Spotted On World Ufo Day
July 2nd is known to bring a lot of attention to the UFO phenomenon. It isn't strange that the UFO sightings jump up on that day! Here are a collection of reports, about UFOs spotted on World UFO Day, made on July 2nd 2013.

Taking the trash to the street when I noticed a bright red light in the sky. Under path for LAX and thought this was a plane on right base turn to the airport. I stood to observe it and noticed that it didnt move. I kept watching and waiting for some action however, it stayed motionless. There were a few light clouds and it seemed to be shining through them.

I didnt notice any anti-collision lights so I knew it couldnt have been a helicopter and the fact that it wasnt moving convinced me it wasnt the ISS flying over head (which is the brightness I would describe it).

I went and got my binoculars and as I watched it for several seconds more, it slowly began to dim until if finally vanished.

Moments later, some friends of mine several miles away called and asked if there was a supernova in the sky and described it the way I saw it also.

A friend and I were in my driveway talking and stargazing when I saw a very bright white light pulse twice about 1 second apart very high up in the sky, I immediately knew it was not a comet or plane or anything else familiar. I told my friend about it then we both looked in the direction of the sighting and we both saw that it pulsated again after about 15 seconds a few degrees north from the first sighting. I was surprised but I was not shocked as I am very well informed on the subject of extra-terrestrials and this is not my first sighting. It did not reappear after that sighting and there was nothing near that couldve blocked the view of it, later that night, about an hour later we also saw a much smaller and much less intense blue star-like object moving very fast very high up in the sky heading south-west then disappear. Also I should note that a while later a friend on Facebook posted a status stating that he saw the same pulses of light at the same time and area

> ~1104MST Saw two aircraft creating zigzag pattern in the sky with their contrail/exhaust.

When I was observing the crossing flight pattern I drew notice to a rod shaped/aligned light sources/orbs floating against the contrail wake from the two jets.

> ~1114MST Orbs continued in aligned rod shape and drifted towards north along the contrail wake. Orbs had appearance of being 'on-top' of clouds drifting into the distance. Orbs were present on dramatic/brilliant 'blue earth' background for a period of time and images were captured.

> ~1130MSTOrbs continued in aligned rod shape and drifted towards west/southwest for a period of time. Orbs maintained rod shape/alignment and drifted from time to time on top section (1st 2 Orbs) to the left and right of the below two orbs. Orbs quickly aligned back to Rod shape anytime they drifted too far from one another.

> ~1250MST Observed Orbs in WNW sky from 1130MST until ~1250MST when the Orbs faded into way far west distance.

I observed the orbs for a aprox 1 hour 45 minutes. I have lived in/around military bases my entire life and accustomed to normal aviation lighting, etc.. I admit I also felt a strange feeling/presence during the time I was observing the orbs/lights

I was riding in my friends car. We were on SR 165 just north of SR 62 traveling north. I had been looking out my window to the east as we were talking when 2 bright red lights appeared. I watched them for several seconds, they remained in the same place with a bright steady glow. I told my friend to look at these lights. She stopped the car and leaned down to see them. We discussed how they werent moving and just stayed on at a steady glow. We started to drive up the road 1/4 mile to get off the road to watch them more. I told her that one was starting to fade ( the northern one). She was looking and could not see it. I then said the other one just disappeared. She stopped the car and jumped out and looked for several minutes but we could not locate them. It was still and cloudless, we heard nothing. My window was down when I first saw them and still no noise. She was a little shaken and I kept going over what we had just seen, checked the time, and kept checking the sky. I drove back to the same location after 10 minutes and saw nothing. It was bizarre how they appeared then disappeared just as quickly. When I first noticed them, I thought they could be airplanes, but the lights never flashed and they were much brighter then a plane.(function(d, s, id) {

Ufo Pioneer George Fawcett Dead At 83 Ufo News

LINCOLNTON UFO PIONEER DEAD AT 83

By Joe DePriest

www.charlotteobserver.com

1-23-13


LINCOLNTON As a kid in Mount Airy, George Fawcett played basketball with Andy Griffith and got hooked on UFOs.

A 1944 newspaper article describing "mysterious balls of fire" spotted by American pilots over Germany during World War II sparked his imagination.

Fawcett went on to work as a YMCA director, textile employee, weekly newspaper manager and sandwich shop operator. A long-time resident of Lincolnton, he also became known as the UFO man.

His health had declined in recent years, and Fawcett died Saturday at age 83.

During more than 65 years of research, Fawcett wrote numerous articles about unidentified flying objects in such publications as Argosy, True and Flying Saucers Review. He taught a UFO course at Gaston College and investigated more than 1,200 UFO sightings, including 600 across the Carolinas. His 20,000-item Sauceriana Collection is at the International UFO Museum & Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico....

Searching For Habstars Waiting For Another Einstein And Identifying Lunar Outpost Sites

Searching For Habstars Waiting For Another Einstein And Identifying Lunar Outpost Sites
Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:

g STARS - Maggie Turnbull, an astronomer with the Carnegie Institution, has spent many years thinking about what kind of stars could harbor Earth-like planets. Her database of potentially habitable star systems could be used as a target list for NASA's forthcoming Terrestrial Planet Finder mission. Turnbull presented a talk, "Remote Sensing of Life and Habitable Worlds: Habstars, Earthshine and TPF," at a NASA Forum for Astrobiology Research on March 14. This edited transcript of the lecture is part two of a four-part series. See article.

g LIFE - University of Colorado scientists have found bacteria that live in the rocks of a hot, acidic environment in Yellowstone National Park. Such extremophiles - organisms that can tough it out at sub-zero temperatures or with little water - are the cat's meow to astrobiologists, who want to determine the origin of life here on Earth, as well as estimate good spots to look for life elsewhere. See article.

g INTELLIGENCE - Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton. See article.

g MESSAGE - Is it even ethical for us to contact alien life? See article. Note: This article is a few years old.

g COSMICUS - An illuminated part of a lunar crater rim may be very close to the Moon's North pole and is a candidate for a peak of eternal sunlight. Such places could be key locations for future lunar outposts. The European Space Agency's SMART missions - Small Missions for Advanced Research and Technology - are designed to test new spacecraft technology and propulsion while visiting various places in the solar system. See article.

g LEARNING - Here's a neat classroom activity courtesy of NASA: "Mountain Quest." Students divide into five research teams to make recommendations for building a new observatory for NASA. See article.

g IMAGINING - Speculation about aliens has typically been left to science fiction authors, science fiction readers and Hollywood writers and directors. But what if we apply what we have learned about life on Earth to speculate about what alien life forms might be like? Here's a primer.

g AFTERMATH - Here's an intriguing read: the final report of "The Workshop on the Societal Implications of Astrobiology". Note: The workshop was held in 1999.

It was 65 years ago today that the Roswell Daily Record blasted an infamous headline claiming local military officials had captured a flying saucer on a nearby ranch. And now, a former CIA agent says it really happened."IT WAS NOT A DAMN WEATHER BALLOON -- IT WAS WHAT IT WAS BILLED WHEN PEOPLE FIRST REPORTED IT," SAID CHASE BRANDON, A 35-YEAR CIA VETERAN. "IT WAS A CRAFT THAT CLEARLY DID NOT COME FROM THIS PLANET, IT CRASHED AND I DON'T DOUBT FOR A SECOND THAT THE USE OF THE WORD 'REMAINS' AND 'CADAVERS' WAS EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT."Brandon served as an undercover, covert operations officer in the agency's Clandestine Service for 25 years, where he was assigned missions in international terrorism, counterinsurgency, global narcotics trafficking and weapons smuggling. He spent his final 10 years of CIA service on the director's staff as the agency's first official liaison to the entertainment and publication industries. It was during this time, in the mid-1990s, that he walked into a special section of CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., called the Historical Intelligence Collection."It was a vaulted area and not everybody could get in it," Brandon told The Huffington Post. "One day, I was looking around in there and reading some of the titles that were mostly hand-scribbled summations of what was in the boxes. And there was one box that really caught my eye. It had one word on it: Roswell."I took the box down, lifted the lid up, rummaged around inside it, put the box back on the shelf and said, 'My god, it really happened!'"What exactly did the box contain that had such a powerful impact on Brandon?"Some written material and some photographs, and that's all I will ever say to anybody about the contents of that box," he said. "But it absolutely, for me, was the single validating moment that everything I had believed, and knew that so many other people believed had happened, truly was what occurred,"None of this comes as a surprise to Stanton T. Friedman, a nuclear-physicist-turned-UFOlogist, who was the original civilian investigator of the Roswell UFO incident.In the late 1970s, Friedman began to uncover former military eyewitnesses who had been involved with the original events that took place at Roswell in 1947.Despite the fact that the military changed its story overnight, saying on July 8, 1947 that a flying disk had been captured but claiming on July 9 that a weather balloon had been recovered, Friedman's early investigative efforts prompted many Roswell witnesses to come forward and tell their stories. Numerous researchers have dug up more facts in the years since."It's been 65 years since things took place at Roswell," Friedman told HuffPost. "How much more widely known could it be -- everywhere I've spoken in the world, they ask about Roswell.""What we really need now is the Woodward-Bernstein of the UFO world to bring out the disclosure," said Friedman. "Maybe Chase Brandon is a foresight of something going on."It's time for the retirement of the mythical part -- where we don't have all the pieces -- to be replaced by the true story of what happened, all the details, and we certainly don't have them."Watch this video from a 1989 episode of 'Unsolved Mysteries UFO Files: Roswell.'Brandon is currently promoting his book, "The Cryptos Conundrum," a science fiction story about the history of Earth, contact with extraterrestrials and imagined cataclysmic events on our planet.He remains steadfast about the pieces of the Roswell puzzle he's willing to share, and he emphasizes there's no internal CIA policy that prevents him from revealing any details of what he saw in that box at the agency headquarters."Nobody tells any of us that we can't say anything about sources, methods, classified information having to do with working for the Central Intelligence Agency," Brandon said. "We all sign a secrecy agreement that says we understand we are forbidden to do that by law, and that is an inherent part of keeping and safeguarding what we do, how we do it, why we do it, out of national security concerns."I'm not reluctant to talk about it -- I won't talk about it. I'm telling you there was a box that had stuff in there having to do with Roswell, and I looked through it, and it validated everything I believed in, and that's all I have to say about it. I will go to my grave being mindful of the two hats that I wear: My personal one and the one that will forever reside on my head as a former CIA officer."

Perhaps, exhibit is no evidence that can harshly depict the mystery subsequently aliens and extraterrestrials. But the history repeats itself and so do reports on UFO appearances. The boom of the first UFO sighting is accompanied by the growing take-home pay of scientists and researchers in to be expected life higher than earth. The space missions launched on Mars purely indicates how inconsolable humans are in sighting even a report on proof that extraterrestrials are real. While NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) invaded the Martian planet, the impending of reported sightings of odd bits and pieces applicable to aliens in the red planet's skies seemed too very much to bigwig. To add to that, the rewarding landing of rolling stone Scarcity was followed by compound claims that the Gale fissure landing site was delimited by unidentified flying objects. In fact, photos from MSL are seen to have odd formations that were classified as unidentified, but were when all through to be caused by on the breadline camera pixels. Then, the moon landing of Apollo 11 in 1969 was to boot delimited a release of deliberate UFO sightings. Quieten, neither famous Neil Armstrong nor one of the NASA officials seasoned such allegations. Cosmos has been full up as well as invented stories and this has measure certain how humans see energy extraterrestrial existence.

SHORT UFO FACT: [On April 9, 1970, a retired electrician named Max Krauss, aged 65, was walking along a country road towards his home in Langenschemmern. Suddenly he was astonished to see what looked like a torn-off portion of the skeleton of a plant coming whirling along on the right-hand side of the road. After careful consideration, it became clear, what at first glance had looked like the skeleton of a plant was in fact a transparent ball some 40 cms. wide, which had spokes inside it. The central part of the ball changed colour throughout half of its radius, becoming milky, like water just before it boils. Then UFO vanished, so absolutely silently, and at such lightning speed, straight upwards into the sky.]UFO MOON CRAFT N TOWER PEOPLE SHORT UFO FACT: [On Tagish Lake (SOUTH OF WHITEHORSE) in 1970 Jim and his wife while travelling along the edge of the lake, saw seven strange glowing orbs.
