UFO Sighting in Paw Paw, West Virginia on November 2nd 2013 - First noticed it hovering in place, then there was a flash and it flew away..

Walking home, then something caught my eye. What made me notice the object was the sudden urge to look up. At first I thought it was a star or something but, then after a few seconds realized it wasn't. The object was just hovering in the sky, then there was a flash of light and it disappeared. After it went away I waited a few seconds then ran away.

Is There a Place Called Other-Earth Composed of Dark Matter and Dark Plasma? (Part One)

 We are composed of bio-plasma, a form of visible matter.

Physicists have discovered dark plasma, a form of dark matter which is abundant throughout the universe. In fact, there is approximately 6 times more dark matter than visible matter.

We know there is bio-plasma but is there also dark bio-plasma? Are there dark matter life-forms? Are there dark matter bio-spheres parallel to ours?

Is there Intelligence visiting us from Dark Earth? Has Visible Earth (our Earth), always been gravitationally linked to Dark Earth? :

In this article, I prefer the term “Other-Earth” to Dark Earth.

“Dark Earth” inaccurately implies evil or negative; in fact it is called Dark Earth, sister to our Visible Earth, only because it is composed of invisible dark matter. There is no “evil” connection to dark matter. To me, it is one of the regrettable tendencies of UFOlogy to paint “ultra-terrestrial” life as inherently evil and threating to us. Why must we humans always fear the imaginary boogey man?

A bit of background information on dark matter: Today physicists around the world are delving into the reality of dark matter and dark plasma which is one form of dark matter; in doing so, they are radically changing our knowledge of the universe. Discovering the locations of dark matter is based on its gravitational effects on surrounding matter.

Dark matter seems to be the source of “extra gravity.” Astronomers have discovered that the gravitational effects observed in our universe don’t match the amount of matter perceived. To account for these differences, it appears that the universe contains a mysterious form of matter that we can’t see. Throughout the universe, there is approximately six times as much dark matter as visible matter.

In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky first observed that some galaxies were spinning so fast that the stars in them should fly away from each other. Unfortunately, Zwicky had personality clashes with many in the astronomy community, so his views weren’t taken very seriously.

In 1962, astronomer Vera Rubin made the same discoveries and had nearly the same outcome. Her work was mostly disregarded because she was a woman. Rubin bravely continued her work and by 1978, she had studied 11 spiral galaxies, all of which (including our own Milky Way), were spinning so fast that the laws of physics ordained they should fly apart. Together with work from others, this was enough to convince the astronomy community that something strange was happening.

We are now certain there is far more dark matter than visible matter which is called baryonic matter. This is what we’re used to, the matter that comprises us and everything we know and perceive - visible matter.

Gravitons are particles which mediate the gravitational force of our visible matter. Today, physicists are working to find whether there is a super-symmetrical partner to the graviton called - the gravitino - the mediating force of invisible dark matter. Indeed, physicists are seeking to prove that the entire universe is super-symmetrical. Gravitons and gravitinos, if these exist, are mirror images of each other.

There are growing alarm bells and/or utter wonderment in theoretical physics that dark matter could have nurtured and evolved life, just as visible matter on Earth has done. No one knows at this point if beings of Other-Earth might be able to perceive us. Have they always been aware of us visible folk? Do they even have eyes? I am getting ahead of myself.

I wish to state that in writing this article, I am relying heavily on the research and writings of Jay Alfred. His website is http://www.dapla.org/

New Dawn magazine has published three fascinating articles by Jay Alfred as well:

“Dark Plasma & Origin of Angels, Aliens, Deities, and Ghosts” New Dawn Special Issue 7

“Aliens from Dark Earth” New Dawn magazine, May-June 2009

“Plasma Aliens from a Parallel of Earth” New Dawn Special Issue 12

New Dawn magazine is available through their ad on the right hand side of UFO Digest.

While referring to much of Jay Alfred’s work, I also hope to add my own insights on dark plasma which might explain some UFOs, ghosts, fairies, jinns, orbs, and even life-after-death experiences.

I recently wrote http://www.ufodigest.com/article/are-ufo-occupants-composed-plasma-their-life-force-residing-electric-energy for UFO Digest; Jay Alfred feels advanced Other-Earth beings might have the ability to convert their dark plasma into our “normal” plasma for a period of time, and thus Other-Earth might be the origin of bright plasma-UFOs and UAPs (more on this later). We do have to ask, if some UFOs are plasma, or manned by plasma-beings, where is this plasma world of theirs? In researching a possible answer, I became engrossed (or enveloped), by dark plasma possibilities.

Dark matter has been found to gather around visible cosmic bodies, like Earth. Any cosmic body with sufficient mass to possess gravity has apparently also attracted dark matter, which creates “extra gravity.”  In fact, researchers believe that in the early universe, dark matter was spread out in a web of filaments, some of which still exist.

Illustration: Dark filament web – a bridge between galaxies

It is possible that gravity corridors which offer inter-galactic travel in relatively short traveling time, would depend on these invisible dark filaments as much as corridors of the gravity we know, generated by visible cosmic bodies. http://www.ufodigest.com/article/gravity-corridors-alien-moons-and-creatures-below

Dark Matter Earth, which I prefer to call Other-Earth, was probably created at the same time as Visible Earth about 4.6 billion years ago. The Solar System was just being formed and dark matter filaments and other components were many times more abundant in the universe than visible matter. Therefore, since its birth, Earth has always had a dark halo composed of dark  particles originally from the Milky Way’s galactic dark halo and webbing network. Over billions of years, this “dark halo” of visible Earth’s was added to by countless events, including the Moon crashing into Earth (the Moon having its own dark halo). An ocean of dark plasma formed around Visible Earth.

Dark plasma has very low density but tends to form in clumps. There are dark matter and dark plasma clumps all over the universe and sometimes they form into dark particle clouds or “oceans.”  These plasma oceans are still less dense than matter on Visible Earth. Visible particles of which we are composed, are very densely packed together!

Could these clumps of dark plasma over billions of years, evolve bio-plasma? Could a form of consciousness have emerged? Could life itself have emerged?

Some researchers feel evolution would advance more quickly in a less dense bio-sphere; being dense and thus visible means a constant struggle against other objects and against gravity itself. There is logic in the possibility that beings from Other Earth would be more advanced than we are.

It is very possible that Visible Earth and Other-Earth both originated and developed life-forms in their own unique ways, as they danced together over the millennia in perfect super-symmetry.  

Our fellow sister-dancer is much larger in area than we are. The relative dimensions of Other-Earth to Visible Earth seem to be similar to the giant gas envelope of Planet Jupiter to the actual size of rocky-surface Jupiter, which is about the size of Earth.

Other-Earth is as large as giant gas-Jupiter and 1,000 Visible Earths can fit inside. Other-Earth is all around and possibly is super-imposed over us and our world.

Our dark sister is indeed much larger than we are but she is in fact – Earth. Her life-forms might be alien to us but they are still from Whole Earth. No doubt actual space aliens gaze at Earth from space and their technology helps them perceive the large dark Other-Earth halo and the tiny solid, dense, visible Earth as one planet.

At this point, we have to ask, what is a life-form? Perhaps “an intelligence” is a better term because Other Earth natives would not be solid and dense like we are. Composed of dark bio-plasma, they would have a lower molecular density, thus could float through walls or zoom in mind-boggling ways in the atmosphere when they visit us. Sound familiar?

Does this account for UFOs, ghosts and more?  They likely would “swim” through our atmosphere; we sink because we are so dense. Gravity really has a hold on us.

Other Earth is imagined to be a dark plasma ocean; this is their bio-sphere, their reality, their Planet Earth. It seems they would develop telepathy for communication because fingers and tongues would not exist; they would likely be a blob of Intelligence, swimming in the dark ocean. Might they also be able to shape-shift their forms into shapes we understand? Are these the shape-shifters of Celtic myth as well as the folklore of other human civilizations?

What is life? Is it always a solid, visible life-form, preferably with two or four legs, a head and eyes? Is our own life-force defined by our density, our visibility, by our 2 legs and our head?

Or is our life-force somehow defined by our mind and spirit? Does life itself dwell in our mind and spirit? Do we believe that our “being-ness” goes on, even after the death of our dense physical body?

As quantum research delves deeper, we are realizing that life dwells in consciousness, not in the components of solid visible bodies.

Therefore, we must assume that the life-force of Other-Earth beings lies in their consciousness as well. Consciousness can and probably does exist in Sister Earth’s plasma ocean which has been evolving for as long we have; Other-Earth has been with us from the beginning.

In fact, Jay Alfred tells us that it is likely that beings of Other-Earth are as diverse as all of Visible Earth’s life-forms, thus they vary as much as our microbes do from our whales, as much as mosquitoes from tigers, as much as giraffes from crocodiles, and as much as human beings vary from ants. Other-Earth beings probably vary in awareness to these extreme degrees; there may well be highly aware and evolved beings, equal or beyond our present stage of evolution.

Of course quantum physics also states that there are countless “Earths” because there are endless alternate dimensions; there must be countless Dark Earths, therefore. And, do the dark halos of other planets contain conscious beings? How all this fits together is beyond me, but it was also beyond Einstein, so I shouldn’t feel bad. Strangely enough, the super-symmetric theory of the universe can’t be proved until physicists manage to unify the field – that which stumped Einstein. So we should not feel bad if we are confused!

However, the revelation that Earth has a dark sister and has always had this giant dark Significant Other, a world which is also Earth – is astounding!

I want to add here that this is not the anti-matter universe; that is apparently an entirely different subject.

In Part Two of “Is There a Place Composed of Dark Matter and Dark Plasma Called Other Earth?” we’ll look into:

Might parallel Dark Earth be the world of the after-life?

Do dark plasma beings form symbiotic, even spiritual relationships with counterpart humans? Might they guide the consciousness of a human after death? Might they be our elusive angels?

Are some Other-Earth beings evil or at least cold scientists who might abduct and capture a “dense being” for an hour?

Is this the source of Jinns? These illusive life-forms have always been thought to be from “ultra-terrestrial Earth.”  Jinns and ghosts are thought to pass through walls, being less-dense molecularly than we are. UFOs blink out of existence; do they return simply to Other-Earth? Are these the shape-shifters of legend?

Is Other-Earth the source of space and atmospheric critters and bright colored orbs which sometimes have a translucent quality?

If dark plasma “over-lays” visible matter, does an individual become dizzy and disoriented as in UFO encounters? It is thought that concentrated dark plasma would have this effect on us.

What is the source of plasma-like UFOs?  All we can guess is, “They come from a plasma dimension.” Other-Earth is a plasma dimension. 

Picture: Our Lady of Fatima was first a ball of light

How many times has an apparition or angel first appeared as a ball or disk of light, only to become the form of an angel or ghost when it gets near to a human?

Do our dark cousins read our thought vibrations as they come closer, and thus become what we can understand? In other words, do they “arrive” as a ball of plasma and become an angel, ghost, or UFO for our perception and benefit?

In an article on future human time travelers, I mentioned they would have an interest in the welfare of Earth whereas actual aliens would not. UFO occupants have manipulated nuclear missile codes and otherwise illustrated an interest in the welfare of the planet itself. The same argument can be made regarding Other-Earth beings who would also have a vested interest in rocky Visible Earth's welfare - the core of their dark halo domain.

Part Two will be published soon.

SETI: Between A Rock And A Hard Place

SETI, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, is in the main the scanning of the heavens by radio telescopes for artificial radio signals emitted either deliberately or via leakage from technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. The search has been on again, off again, but mainly on again for over 50 years, without, to date, any positive resolution (you can't prove a negative, so the hunt continues, in case). Unfortunately, despite their ongoing failure to detect ETI, they rubbish those involved in other types of SETI - like UFOs and 'ancient astronauts'.

Now some SETI scientists have spend a goodly proportion of their careers, maybe even their entire careers doing their search thing. What that tells me is that way down deep inside, at a scientific gut-feeling even philosophical level, they are convinced that one or more (probably more) advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, our equals or better (probably better) exist. That's really great!

However, those same SETI scientists, when asked if that advanced extraterrestrial civilization(s) might have not only radio technology, but subluminal interstellar spaceflight abilities, well the eyebrows start heading north. To further ask them whether those advanced ET civilizations might have been, and might currently be now, on-site (i.e. - here around Planet Earth), well the eyebrows head up to the North Pole!

So, ET radio transmissions good; but ET visitations bad!

The nasty bit is that subluminal interstellar spaceflight violates no laws of physics; no laws of engineering. The time it takes to boldly go, seek out and explore, even colonize the galaxy our solar system is home to, is but a fraction of the age of our home galaxy. So, if radio ET exists, as SETI scientists must have faith in regarding that premise, then ET interstellar travel, exploration and colonization is equally plausible. SETI scientists can not logically dismiss that plausibility, especially if there's a reasonable few advanced ET civilizations out there, and keeping in mind it only takes one such bolding going ET civilization to saturate our galaxy with their presence.

Now it needs to be pointed out and re-enforced again, and again, that a visitation to Planet Earth has bugger-all, zip, zilch to do with humans beings currently residing here or ET responding to our own radio leakage. You see that's the SETI scientist's argument why ET's UFOs cannot be here. The signature of our existence here travels into the cosmos via EM radiation at light speed. Translated, our only plausible detectable EM signature is our radio/radar waves, which have only been outward bound for a century of so. So, the maximum radius our ET has to be, in order to know about us is 100 or so light years. But they then have to hop in their UFOs and travel through interstellar space to visit us, so the practical radius shrinks. The two constraints mean that ET would have to be close by, something probably against all the cosmic odds. But that argument is so flawed as to be laughable. This is an egocentric trip personified! ET can only be here because humans are here! Crap!

Humans here are irrelevant to ET being here. The reason Planet Earth gets a visit is that ET was roaming around the stellar neighbourhood doing their Captain Cook or Captain Kirk sticky-beak exploring thing, and our star, our Sun, Sol is one of the better candidates as a bio-friendly mainstream star and one having a home to a planetary system, ably detected by ET before-the-fact in the same manner as we in turn detect extra-solar planetary systems today. So Mr. Spock says to Captain ET, "Sir, Sol isn't very far out of our way to take a look at the planetary regime, especially as how I've spectroscopically detected potential biological signatures of oxygen and methane in the atmosphere of one of the planets." And so ET's starship zeros in for a closer look, and our Mr. Spock exclaims, "Sir, hey wow, that third rock from Sol has a biosphere. Fascinating! Let's catalogue that!"

Okay, so that conversation took place 300 million years ago. That interesting data point now pointed the way and reason for numerous follow-up visits, visits that might be continuing right through to the present day. The critical thing (apart from humans having nothing to do with ET's initial visit) is that once that data-point was noted and logged it could in turn be communicated to other advanced ET's out there. By now, over 300 million years or so, maybe more, maybe less, since first visit (hardly first contact) the whole bloody galaxy knows about Sol, her third rock outwards, and that biosphere!

Okay, having dismissed the improbable humans-are-responsible for ET being here non-argument, one need ask, without human influences, how often can we expect, on average, Captain ET and crew to show up?

The physicist Edward U. Condon, in his very own summary to the report of the team of investigators who looked into the UFO issue under a government (USAF) contract, never ruled out the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors, only that 10,000 years between visits was a minimum figure. That's in the report that he gave the thumbs down to regarding the UFO ETH (extraterrestrial hypothesis). UFOs today - no; visits by ETI every 10,000 years was okay, enough time for them to get from there to here. On the other hand, noted astronomer and exobiologist (now termed an astrobiologist) Carl Sagan thought 100,000 years between visitations was a reasonable ballpark figure.

Now, depending on who's calculations you accept, whether you're an optimist or a pessimist, an interstellar boldly going ET civilization should have come across Planet Earth, on average, every 10,000 according to Condon [2], which is an order of magnitude more frequent that the 100,000 years given by Sagan [1]. It has been pointed out, and it's certainly true, that given the age of our Planet Earth, it would be Royal Flush times 1000 odds if a first visit just happened to have, well happened, in our lifetime. But, and here's where the SETI scientist's position becomes untenable, our planet, at 4.5 billions years of age (far younger than the age of our galaxy) should have received somewhere between 45,000 (Sagan) visits overall and 450,000 (Condon) visits overall by ET. Our SETI scientist would say that our "now" falls between the visitations -those gaps when ET is doing his interstellar boldly going thing somewhere else.

What the SETI scientist fails to come to terms with, fails to grasp, doesn't quite have the smarts to understand and accept, is the once Planet Earth has been found, the first of those 45,000 or 450,000 expected visits, while certainly isn't going to be in our "now", the second, third, fourth, etc. visit will no longer reflect 'on average', something hinted at earlier.

I would have to assume, that ET, from the first visit, all those years ago (thousands, millions, even billions of years ago) wouldn't have tagged Planet Earth as just another hunk of planetary debris, unworthy of any ongoing interest. From the get-go, Planet Earth would have showed unusual traits - an atmosphere, not so much; a lithosphere, not so much; a hydrosphere, yes indeed, very much; but especially a biosphere, very, very, very much.

If ET has any scientific curiosity worthy of the name, same as our SETI scientists are curious about ET, then Planet Earth would not only be routinely tagged and entered into the alien's database, but uniquely tagged as an abode worthy of an advanced rate of follow-up visitations. We would be monitored, maybe not 24/7, but more frequently than once every 450,000 to 45,000 years.

But even if that interval had been maintained, well that puts visitations well within the range of the time when modern humans were already established as the future if not already the dominant lords and masters of Planet Earth. By Jove our ET neighbours would be certainly stepping up surveillance of this development. They'd obviously want to keep tabs on whether or not our intelligence might ever prove to be a threat to their intelligence, for just as Planet Earth can not hide from the scrutiny and surveillance of ET, so to ET can not hide from ours, once we start to boldly go.

So, ET radio transmissions good; but ET visitations bad! I don't think so, and any SETI scientist who suspects otherwise is akin to the proverbial ostrich's head surveying that sand dune.

Translated, any ET with smarts who knows about us from visitations millennia ago; millions of years ago, would be here now keeping a watchful eye on us. Sorry SETI scientists, UFOs are a logical outcome of this scenario, and if you fail to se this, well, you're in a Catch-22 situation; you're between a rock and a hard place!

SETI is in a Catch-22 because on the one hand SETI scientists cannot reject ETI here at the same time searching for and accepting the presence of ETI out there when both possibilities are equally plausible. SETI scientists cannot search for ETI out there, yet refuse to search for ETI locally when the evidence for both is technically the same. SETI scientists say there's no evidence (or poor evidence) for ETI here - yet there's (to date) no evidence (or poor evidence) for ETI out there, yet they stake their professional careers on ETI out there and rubbish ETI here. How so the rubbishing?

Of course the SETI scientists counter that each of the threads of ETI having been then or now on Earth are weak-in-the-knees when it comes to solid evidence. Roswell is weak; UFO abduction cases are weak; the UFO conspiracy or cover-up case is weak; UFO photographs and videos are weak; UFO radar cases are weak; the case for von Daniken's ancient astronauts is weak; the ghost rocket sightings (1946) are weak; contactee claims are especially weak; UFO eye-witness reports are unreliable, etc. But, put them (and much more besides) all together and like all good detective stories combine/integrate all the clues into one composite whole (after separating out the wheat from the chaff and eliminating the red herrings) then the whole is more than the sum of the parts. You get a consistent pattern that emerges; not the radio signal patter-of-little-dots-and-dashes the SETI scientist wants but a nuts-and-bolts and a here-and-now pattern.

Now admittedly any one of a hundred different and independent threads might in itself be not all that convincing, but then all 100 are woven together - that's a different duck of another colour. It's like if it looks like a duck - it may not be a duck. If it walks like a duck - it may not be a duck. If it swims like a duck - it may not be a duck. If it quacks like a duck - it may not be a duck. But if it looks, walks, swims and quacks like a duck - then it's a duck!

But there's another quirk on the part of SETI scientists; the ultimate Catch-22: As already noted, SETI scientists in general are on record as stating that there's "poor" or "crummy" evidence overall for the rival UFO ETH or 'ancient astronauts' and as such, are topics not worthy of a SETI scientist's time and presumably that of any physical scientist or indeed any scientist full stop. Yet the evidence collected for ETI out there in the depths of interstellar space in traditional SETI-land, 50 years plus on, is equally as poor whether there is one SETI "WOW" signal (as usually highlighted in SETI books) or a 1000 SETI mini-wow signals of unknown origin, but strongly suspected to have ultimate terrestrial origins. SETI scientists have come no closer to providing the ETI 'smoking gun' as has Erich Von Daniken ('ancient astronauts') or Stanton Friedman (UFO ETH).

At best that's an attitude or a philosophy that is inconsistent at best and perhaps a contradiction at worst within the SETI community. In fact, it's a downright double standard. If I were a young scientist just starting out, would I consider SETI? Probably not because there's so little evidence of such poor quality that's emerged over five long decades that I'd think I'd probably be wasting my time and throwing my career away. So, whether it's SETI or UFOs or 'ancient astronauts' it's all equally piss-poor evidence, but at least it's a level, playing field. It's still quite plausible that an amateur UFO buff or an archaeologist may yet scoop SETI to the ETI punch.

My ultimate conclusion and recommendation to those between the irresistible force and the immoveable object is to not put all your SETI eggs in the EM basket.
