Animal Mutilations: Whodunit?

For the better part of going on towards five decades worth, there's been a ongoing and gruesome phenomena seemingly clustered around the American mid-western regions (though Charles Fort collected similar cases from England in the 19th and early 20th Centuries) that involves what has been described as the mutilation of large herbivore wildlife such as bison, but more usually domesticated livestock like cattle, sheep and horses. Mutilation is not usually a word associated with natural processes like predation, rather deliberate acts for purposes other than taking down an animal as a natural food source. We'll return to that unnatural bit later on down the track.

These unfortunate victims usually have selected and nearly consistent bits and pieces of their body removed with near surgical precision. Most of the carcass is left behind, though the body is usually devoid of blood.

Firstly, from the outset, there's no denying the reality of the phenomena - ghosts and UFOs come and go like will-o'-the-wisps, but animal mutilations, like crop circles, stick around and are available for ongoing scrutiny and analysis, and both have some other common threads like clustering in geographical areas (crop circles tend to be associated with and clustered in SW England. Both are ongoing and both now number in the hundreds to thousands of individual cases. Further, there have been several (two) independent Federal inquiries into the phenomena, one by the FBI (1979), the other by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (AFT). Both studies produced conclusions that anomalies existed in some mutilation cases and that further studies were warranted. There have also been various State-level investigations as well as Senate hearings.

The most obvious answer to the mutilation mystery is that all can be attributed to natural predators doing their thing. In fact professional veterinarians usually associated with university schools of veterinary medicine or science proclaim from their ivory towers that these are indeed the results of natural predation by known carnivores, all by studying the photographic evidence - god forbid they'd actually do any on-site fieldwork. However, they do admit that not all of the hundreds to thousands of mutilation cases fall into such neat little piles. All agree by now that all cases cannot be easily explained by wild cats like mountain lions and bobcats or those from the canine side of things like wolves and coyotes, and similar predators such as foxes and wild dogs.

An obvious problem with the natural predation theory is the appearance of the phenomena in the mid-1960s (apart from still relatively recent England noted above). Prey and predators existed way before that as well as humans to report the cases.

In contrast, the man-on-the-land, the farmers, rangers, hunters, wildlife field biologists and vets who work for government departments and other outdoors types who are quite familiar with viewing and inspecting your run of the mill animal predation tend to take a more opposite view - there's nothing natural about these sorts of animal predations and the state the remains of the carcass are found in. This might appear to be a typical academic skeptic vs. eyewitness (I know what I saw) disagreements were it not for a few other unusual features.

Firstly, you'd expect to see signs of a predator-prey struggle - the ground should have been scuffed up a bit; the vegetation slightly disturbed. That's not what you find. You'd expect in many cases to observe the tracks of the predatory animal(s). You don't tend to find tracks. Often there are not even tracks of the victim in the immediate vicinity as if the animal were dumped from above at the spot. Thirdly, if natural, you wouldn't expect the ground/soil and surrounding vegetation in the immediate area of the kill to show any long-term lasting effects. Often the kill site can be identified way down the track by unusual changes in the condition of the soil and vegetation, usually for the worse.

Further, natural predators tend to avoid or shy away from the mutilated carcass even though it's an apparently easy meal. Ditto other livestock avoid the area as well. It's like a no-go zone. Some post-mortem biochemical studies suggest that the victim in question was tranquilized prior to the mutilation. One of the anomalies often reported via laboratory studies of the carcass are unusual alterations in the amounts of vitamins, minerals and other associated biochemical compounds. The findings of tranquilizers and/or anomalies in the standard biochemistry of the victim, points more to a human or an otherworldly culprit. What about the human animal?

Because the nature of the wounds often having the nature or hallmarks suggestive of surgery; well there's another predator that needs to be considered, the human predator. Well that doesn't really appear to wash either - again, no human footprints in the area prior to discovery; no tire tracks (and most of the kill sites are off the beaten track - a long walk to get to them). Further, to the best of my knowledge, no human(s) have ever been observed in the act, far less caught, tried and convicted. Further, no human(s) or cults (Satanic or otherwise) have claimed responsibility. In gun-toting America, especially rural America where rifles and shotguns probably outnumber their human owners, any other humans with animal mutilation on their depraved minds are really risking their hides - farmers seeing their livestock (and livelihoods) butchered are liable to shoot first and ask questions later!

Further still, the nature of the incisions hasn't been duplicated in the laboratory by lasers (an obvious human tool if humans were responsible) since there's no signs of heat or cooking on the carcass incisions. Laboratory tests show that the time and effort to do the high precision cutting job using sharp steel implements is quite considerable. Hides are tough, unlike human skin. Further, no evidence beyond reasonable doubt (say by the FBI or the AFT) of any human or cultist activity was ever uncovered by any official investigation

Of course there have been claims that the American government is actually responsible via clandestine or covert research into possible cattle-human transmitted diseases like 'mad cow disease' and scrapie, research via the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) with covering support from the armed forces via 'black helicopters'. However, on balance, you'd think such work in the public interest wouldn't have to be done undercover! Surely the American powers-that-be can buy livestock at random for testing; ditto hunt other wildlife for routine and ongoing testing in the open. Some conspiracy scenarios make sense - this one doesn't.

You can't really pin this on some sort of unknown, undiscovered predator like the Chupacabra - an animal that would be in the providence of cryptozoologists since there have been no sightings of such potential critters in the area with the necessary 'tools' (teeth and jaws), and anyway no tracks, known animal or unknown animal.

Since the phenomena exists and requires explanation and resolution, perhaps that leaves the otherworldly. Are aliens in UFOs responsible? While there have, on occasion been reports of unusual aerial objects in the relevant vicinity prior to mutilations, it would seem on the surface to be relatively absurd. Why would aliens want bits and pieces and the blood of large herbivores?

Alien beings will, by definition, have alien minds, an alien psychology and alien motives - alien relative to us of course.

There is however an obvious parallel with alien UFO abductions. Humans who claim to have been abducted by the 'Greys' also claim to have had tissue samples taken from them - biopsies - and often have the unexplained scares to 'prove' it, though to the skeptics that hardly constitutes real evidence, far less proof. Still, it's another dot point suggesting that aliens, for whatever reason, just take tissue samples to monitor - what? Well, who knows? At least the humans aren't sacrificed on the alien's altar.

Needless to say humans (biologists, vets, nurses, medical doctors & researchers) do tissue sample work all the time and sometimes it's necessary to kill the subject under the knife first.

Ultimately, to date, the only reasonable conclusion that can be reached is that there is no 'smoking gun' proof yet to identify beyond question whodunit, if indeed there is just a single whodunit.

The Emergence of a New Reality

We are on a mission on Earth.

That is what the Pleiadians and some other aliens of gods of ancient times have told us over years.  We humans, as multi dimensional beings, decided to come to earth to learn and develop and to bring about change that injects a new way of living in our consumerist culture  and is somehow  related to 2012. New patterns of thought are being created, every thought and action counts to creating the global community. New ways of consciousness, recognizing a bigger inner self that is multidimensional,able to expand over many dimensions and universes.

Is this really happening? Is the global consciousness changing to a new beginning without frontiers? Are we becoming a global community without boundaries? The financial  collapses, the bankruptcy of  the big automanufacturers, the loss of homes and jobs; it is all "designed" to bring us together through the commonalities of suffering so that we can feel like the "other ones". We were not able to feel the sensation of being one with all there from within so it is brought to our reality form the outside. Earth is taking matters into her hands.

We see people going from riches to rags in weeks, people taking their lives because they cannot cope with the implications, desperate people without a job hit the streets and live in homeless communities. Together, sharing what they have. Something is changing and changing big.

Our home is changing and we are at risk of losing it and be thrown into extinction. Earth is protesting like a boy that has been bullied for too long and cannot take it any longer. She shrugs and we have to listen. Global warming, glaciers melting, species leaving. It is change from every place, cornering us face to face to each other forcing us to find solutions together.

One of the things that is to "commune" with each other and will continue to do so is the alien presence. We have already seen how people have united to ask and request alien disclosure from their governments. Several governments have started to produce declassified documents about UFOs.  People from all ranks and social stature have come forward in the last 10 or more  years with their stories of alien contact, abductions and sightings. Even presidential candidates and ex-presidents have said they have seen a UFO. Some high ranking members of foreign countries and our own astronauts have acknowledged  the alien presence. 

What is this movement? We are expanding our contract of reality to be inclusive of  other forms of life that we would not have accepted in the past. There is a new culture emerging and those that do not  see the new reality will be let in the periphery, will not be part of the new world.

Talking to abductees and lost time encounter people you find similar threads that seem to run along the stories.We know that abductions and lost time events tend to occur in family lines. You will often find that several members of one family have experienced unknown events, from children to elders.  Generations of us have been subjected to alien contact who sometimes are experienced as strange phenomena and weird dreams depicting "beings"  from outer space.  A family I know has had experiences with the paranormal or many years. They trace the paranormal events to their grandfather and his immediate family and who knows how far that goes. Prior family history may have been lost by ceasing to tell the stories because many would not believe them.

What are they looking for? This family trend probably indicates a physical connection that could  be traced in an interest in our DNA and how it has been developing. We could ask ourselves if they have been inoculating new factors and/or eliminating some into our DNA for some reason.  We can see how much this mimics what we do with animals to study health problems  and genetic diseases.

Let us see what these reasons could be.

- Intercepting band genes

- replacing those genes with better ones

- eliminating some diseases

- introducing new diseases

- introducing genetic changes to make us either resilient to conditions or more sensible to them. As our climate changes, we need new body qualities.

- purifying the family DNA, in that way,they take the best from each generation and  transfer that to their people

- investigate the causes of some unknown disease in the future (assuming they are here to avoid our extinction)

- provoke that extinction (we are too many)  so they can inherit earth. A case of induced mass destruction without conventional weapons

- create new humans or hybrids to populate other planet(s) if we become extinct.

These are a few questions of a new reality that has been surfacing for the last sixty years. If we are here to learn, what is the major them of this learning?  As the aliens  become more visible, they expand our ideas  about us, the universe, or fellow humans.  Concepts like "god" , "family", "friends", "home" , "beauty" are all changing at this very moment  to expand our vocabulary  commensurate with our sense of identity in an expanded world.

Do Extraterrestrials Really Fly Our Skies

Please note that this article is not a blog entry or a blogpost or journal entry that does not contain informative content beyond a personal story or experience and it is not correspondence to a blog comment or email that I have received.

I think that when we see headlines saying "Abducted by Aliens" and regular stories telling of all sorts of reputable people having seen UFO's in the sky, we really begin to wonder about the sanity of some of them. However, not to be completely put off by what many may consider to be the ramblings of attention seekers, I certainly have my own opinions on the subject but there was this one guy I spent some time with recently, and I was quick to find out that even with his PhD and a couple of other degrees, he was anything but a geek or for that matter a cynic. Over one or two pints of cool Rickard's Red, he told me that he had been studying the so called phenomenon of UFO's for many years. With me being neither a believer nor disbeliever, he went on to tell me that his research was now providing him with factual evidence that these aptly named UFO's do in fact exist, but they were not extraterrestrial in nature! Well, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and I certainly have my own here.

Initially, once he realized he had caught my interest, he started telling me some of the many stories of people claiming how Aliens had abducted them and why, in his opinion they had actually been abducted and taken into a strange craft. He emphasized that in his opinion it was most certainly not by Aliens. He went on to tell me of one particular abduction case he had follow up in detail with the claimant, and even to his surprise, his findings were not only astonishing but almost conclusive in their results. To be truthful, I was beginning to wonder slightly. He did seem genuine and authentic to me, but I have heard so many stories on the subject of UFO's that I had already formed an opinion that it was all comic book material. However, from this story he continued with yet another. This one was about a young Woman who also claimed to have been abducted for almost a full week. Again, he had studied the case at close hand and had interviewed the woman over five visits, with carefully planned and detailed questions. He confirmed to me that the answers he recorded only served to convince him more of what was really happening with regard to many UFO sightings and why he was now so close to publishing factual proof of their non-extraterrestrial existence. I thought that his factual proof might not necessarily be representative of fact to myself.

Obviously by the end of my second pint, and this continual and highly detailed one-sided conversation pounding me endlessly, I was beginning to wonder if perhaps I was the one about to be abducted by a potential madman. I decided to buy one last round for us and hear the rest of his story and now you my dear reader, will know that my writing of this article is the proof that I stayed there much longer than initially planned, and that I did hear the rest of his amazing story and more. By now I had reached an opinion that this guy was really serious about what he was telling me and he obviously had strong beliefs in the evidence he had researched too. I watched him with his eyebrows slightly raised and a penetrating look back across the table at me, the guy continued to tell me how he could now prove in at least two alleged abduction cases, the people abducted had actually been taken into a strange craft, and then flown at seemingly very high speed into the darkness of space and back again. However, the story became even more interesting when I was informed that the craft they were taken in, actually originated here on Earth and was being flown by humans and not Aliens.

This is where things became complicated for me. He then tells me that these strange craft do come from Earth, but not from Earth, as we know it. More confusing explanation was thrown in amidst my interjected questions and then the surprise came. He now started speaking slowly and distinctly as he explained that his evidence pointed towards the year 2140 and to the North American continent in particular. The results gained from all his interviews had shown him that people living in the year 2140, in particular people from what he called the Federated Government, had managed to create a form of what we would call time travel, but only time travel to the past he was quick to add. He explained that similar to our present day University system, the Federated Government in the year 2140 were taking what we would call Students back in time to our present day, I suppose on a field trip of sorts. They were coming back in time to study human life in different time periods, and this is why the strange 'UFO's' have been seen in skies all over our World throughout history and even back in biblical times. Details were given of how they could simply abduct people, take them away for days on end and then return them to what seemed like maybe one hour after they had been abducted. He also explained how the UFO's appeared to move so strangely in the sky, shifting their positions dramatically and appearing to travel across the whole sky in a matter of seconds. Rest assured, now I was really listening intently.

Amidst much of the proof he was detailing to me, he told me how these two particular people interviewed in depth by him had provided very specific details of where they had been taken in the craft. Also how his studies had provided him with proof that these geographic locations were real and did actually exist, here on Earth today. The buildings described were totally different but the topography and landscapes described gave sufficient detail to make them locatable today. He had visited both of the described locations personally, taking measurements and photographs to provide comparison to what his interviewees had described. Now wondering if the Rickard's Red had taken over my head, I questioned him about how people had described their supposed Alien abductors as having long thin arms and large black almond shaped eyes. To which I was quickly interrupted and told that these "Visitors" as he preferred to call them, all dress in a type of uniform highly reflective all in one suit, complete with facial and head cover with black visor eye shapes. This is why they look like Aliens to people who have been slightly disorientated by the application of a nasal sprayed drug. He even explained that these visitors appeared to have long arms because in the years up towards 2140, natural evolution had in fact made people shorter in height with slightly longer arms and as there was no obesity in the future, everyone would naturally look thin. Boy, this guy was sure convincing and certainly highly intelligent too. He went on to give more examples of the mysterious UFO's and the sightings that had been catalogued in previous years.

His descriptions and explanations were both vivid and intriguing, making me wonder just how much of his personal time this guy was spending on these studies. The explained why the visitors could only travel back in time and the relevance of matter and anti matter. How their technology depended on the bending of light and how it used Earth's natural gravity and the magnetic field as an endless resource in part of the propulsion system. Captain James T Kirk had nothing on these guys, who regularly seemed to appear in our skies without any advanced warning from our Earth bound radar scanners. In summary of our lengthy and detailed discussion on the aspects of UFO sightings, I can say that convincing he was. Convinced I was not. In reality, if what this guy was telling me turned out to be true, then it would certainly give a wholesome one off explanation to cover and satisfy almost ever sighting and encounter ever recorded on file.

The proof? Well, I suppose it's out there somewhere or maybe it's already here. Perhaps known only to certain government officials. It could even be that the infamous Area 51 really does have something to do with it all as it is a popular location for UFO sightings. The conversation that evening certainly inspired me in some ways and as such, I am now writing a book, which I have based on the subject. I am calling it 'The Clouds Of Time'. As for us Earth bound people of the present day, my opinion is that the real truth is certainly out there somewhere, and for us to discover it with conclusive proof, it looks like it will be just a matter of time! From the lengthy and detailed conversation that evening, I have to admit that my personal opinions of the subject of extraterrestrials tended to vary somewhat from their original status. I have since researched numerous sightings and even abductions on the internet and after endless note taking, making comparisons and drawing conclusions, I really am no further forward. Suffice to say, if my anonymous friend turns out to be correct is his assumptions, then it is likely to be years before anyone can provide conclusive proof. One thing's for sure; People still continue to report seeing strange things flying in our sky's at night and sometimes, even during the day. Are they flown by extraterrestrials? Who really knows for sure, expect perhaps the ones flying them? Until conclusive proof is established, we shall all have to continue to wait and wonder, or be lucky enough to be on of the future abductions and find out first hand.

In Case of Contact

It is accepted almost as a corollary that several persons of the same family experience visitations; it is rarely just one person in the house. In the case of my nephew's encounter, suppose the target were both him and his smaller brother. All data point to the fact that they start visiting people while we they are very young, the problem been, most of them do not recall these visits and abductions.

Of the many things contactees can do, the least has been reacting in a more orderly manner to these sightings. Specially if they are floating, are small and fluoresce! There should be a protocol to make first contact. Please someone, write it! I propose that such protocol be written by people with experience like real UFO and alien abduction investigators and a pool of abductees with interest in a non controversial contact. A smoother process should be in place. A method of communication that we want to use and which is not alarming to them and preserves human safety -- in case of danger and as much as we can control it from our side-- should be devised.

On the personal level, I propose people start first imagining been in close proximity of the animal or thing that could be the most threatening to them and reacting without fear. If in Florida, that could be an alligator; If in California, that would be a mountain lion or a bear. We all know that advisories have been issued for these probable events by authorities and animal experts in order to preserve human safety. We should be prepared for an alien encounter as well. Apply that imagined experience to an alien contact, imagine it. Who knows when we will need it?

If I were an alien, given their experience with us, I would expect humans to scream, run, attack and finally flee the area. That is their safety comfort zone, the expectancy that we will fear them. If we are not armed, they know by now that we fear them. Fear is our enemy and in my opinion we should stay put. Abrupt movements should be minimized. They apparently communicate by telepathy. Why not try sending messages "telepathically"?

Of course, we don't communicate at that level; but on the other hand, since they communicate telepathically with abductees, they must be able to receive our broadcasts with clarity although we don't hear our own. Not knowing our language does not poses a problem to them since they have communicated with people of all countries in the world. Contactees hear a voice in their minds, or receive images that convey a message. Not long ago I read about an abduction case where the person was sent several images of world destruction. That IS their language, forget asking vocally. They communicate with images and telepathic waves.

With this personal family experience shows us is that we are not save in our homes, so we better attempt to learn to navigate through such situation in a more rational manner, or at least with a plan. The worst we can do is have no plan. The second happens when the plan does not work., but I haven't thought about that yet. I am working on it.

They can activate our telepathic abilities at will since many abductees report a "conversation" with them. So, it is possible that we can send and receive images and thoughts when in their presence. That is a good start. Our brain is capable of transmitting thoughts that can be heard by them; isn't this a great discovery? Why is it that we are not trying to develop this capability consciously in laboratories, home based trainings, etc... if we know it works? The consistent rejection of the fact that we do communicate with aliens in this way is throwing us back in technology hat could be in use right now.

I envision a time when this type of communication can be achieved through technology instead of developing our brain if that feels like to slow or impossible at this time, given the general reluctance to look into what is considered paranormal as "unknown normals". It is in our best interest that we learn this, money should be put in this kind of research. It remains for us to try to develop telepathic power -either naturally or though electromagnetic devices. I don't know this can be done and when but this is imperative. We know we do, we just don't know how to activate it and control it. I wish I could say telepathically to my boyfriend; "Hey, take your feet out of the table! In the case of aliens, I would say: "Please leave the premises; I command you."

I don't think we should be afraid. All my research indicates that they fear something from or about us. We are definitely physically more sturdily built than them, so the fear most be physical,because they are obviously mentally more powerful. Note that they paralyze people for abductions or drug them unconscious to do their physical probing thing. They avoid daylight, they run away from our crafts and some of theirs have crashed-leaving some alien victims. They must fear our prominent physique among other things and our guns -and the effects of gravity can definitely hurt them. We are not faster than them with our planes, but when in close contact I think we have the advantage.

This is a proposal in process, an attempt to step into the future for the moment we don't want to accept now when we will be in front of alien, completely at his mercy, unable to move and communicate.

The Vision of First Contact Vs The Fear of Alien Invasion

Have extraterrestrials contacted us yet? Have only certain people been contacted, and are these secret contacts?

Obviously they have not contacted the general public yet, or else we'd be hearing all about it on TV and radio, or seeing huge saucers hovering all over our skies.

Is it possible they have contacted certain governments in various nations across the world, that is, a secret contact? Or are these just crazy rumors that we read about in the tabloids, or hear from conspiracy theorists with over-active imaginations? We have heard and read that there have been numerous alien abductions, countless UFO sightings, even extraterrestrial telepathic communications with individuals, or even aliens visiting certain individuals physically, and other such rumors. But these are separate contacts that cannot be proven as to their authenticity.

What has been deemed as "First Contact," as suggested in science-fiction novels, movies, and TV shows, is indeed a glorious and grand idea. But will it ever take place upon our world the way we may imagine it? Or instead, will the tragedy of alien invasion actually take place? Ever since H. G. Wells' devastating science-fiction novel, The War of the Worlds, our world-view has changed in regards to alien life, because we must ask whether or not it may be benign or malignant. In 1938, Orson Welles reproduced this devastating story in a horrifying radio broadcast that wreaked havoc to millions of listeners. For a short while radio listeners actually believed the Earth was being invaded by aliens from Mars. It demonstrates just how gullible people can be. This is one of the reasons our government is trying to keep the lid on the UFO phenomenon; they think we're not ready, that we'll go nuts if aliens revealed themselves. But after several decades of exposure via various and sundry ways, I think we've become desensitized and prepared enough. After many years of the public hearing about sightings and abductions, including all the books and magazines and movies and talk shows and so forth regarding ETs, it has become a normal topic in today's society.

Perhaps the notion of alien invasion is more fascinating and captivating in science fiction than a peaceful, benevolent manner of first contact. But in the real world, I know we would prefer the latter. I wonder if the first movie version of The War of the Worlds in 1953 continued our extraterrestrial paranoia, and any other alien invasion movies, especially the two remakes that came out just a few short years ago, and let's not forget Independence Day. That's all we need -- more fear and paranoia. Perhaps the real ETs are simply observing us, yes, we the insane savage humans that live here, too dangerous to confront, who seem to be on an inevitable path of self- annihilation, whether it be through thermonuclear warfare, poisoning our atmosphere and oceans with countless toxins, biochemical methods, the creation and spread of new viruses, and so forth. I doubt these intelligent aliens really want to greet us with open arms. I doubt if they feel we're anywhere close to being ready to join the Galactic Community of Extraterrestrial Worlds (if it exists). I'm sure they're just watching us from afar, because if they get too close, we could infect them with some horrible virus, or we might capture one of them, or start a war with them.

They may even abandon their Galactic Watch program with Earth soon, and perhaps return in several centuries, to see if we've grown up yet.

Or are the ETs here to help us? Can they save us form ourselves? But if they have a Prime Directive (as suggested in the Star Trek TV shows) then they can't tamper with our backwards culture; they can only observe us, whether we advance further and develop global unity and peace, or completely destroy ourselves first.

On the other hand, perhaps they have orders from the Mother ship to blow this hopeless planet to smithereens before we stumble upon warp-drive capability so we can spread our insanity to other worlds.

But give us a few centuries, see if we can get our collective act together first.

Now, if we applied our imagination, what would actual first contact be like? Will they land on the White House lawn, ask some random passerby to "Take us to your leader," and then shake hands with the President? Perhaps they'll ignore the arrogant, greedy politicians and meet the scientists first, the astrophysicists, the astronomers, the biologists, some metaphysicians, etc. Or they might feel drawn to botanists, gardeners, environmentalists, zoologists, oceanographers, or people who are in touch with the Earth. Perhaps they will offer to cure all diseases, create peace between all humans, and deliver us out of a Dark Age we didn't realize we were in. Or, they may perceive dolphins as the superior intelligent life on Earth and contact them instead of us! Who knows!

We don't really know, but we can dream, or write silly science fiction stories about it. But if they open their arms to the welcoming public in friendship, will we return the favor, or will paranoid war-mongers spoil it and attack them for intruding our airspace? Will the paranoid savage humans cause a war with our could-have-been new friends?

For this reason, which they can easily foresee, they may remain hidden.

No, I don't think we're ready yet. I think we have some serious growing up to do.

Alien Invasions From Secret Space

I lived a somewhat isolated life through the many years of research on the ancient astronaut of the sixth century, pretty much wholly unaware of what was going on in the outside world with respect to UFOs, alien abductions, and the like. I had deceived myself into thinking that my ancient astronaut theory was unique and well-substantiated, and that it would quickly find some recognition from among the world's intellectuals.

Recently, a couple of Secret Space DVDs enlightened me on the reality of aliens in our contemporary world. The two DVDs came to us via regular mail from a British film director, as payment for granted permissions to make free use of the material on this website for a future project or projects. From those DVDs, I learned that aliens are nothing special, that human history is saturated with alien invasions, hundreds of them, and that such invasions have occurred on every continent and in every epoch of world history. The alien invasions continue to this day. It seems that NASA and the US intelligence agencies are supplying this film director, possibly on a daily basis, with film of alien spaceships invading our planet, and the director quickly turns to display that footage to us.

Beyond the UFO films, it looks like the US government also provided this film director with wide-ranging top-secret reports, detailed reports from the US military on how they used laser beam weapons to shoot down several alien spacecraft, reports from US scientists on how they back-engineered the technology found in the remnants of the downed alien spacecraft, reports from US astronauts in space about spotting alien UFOs all over the place, and a report, evidently dating from the early 1970s, from US astronauts on the Moon about having seen a row of alien spaceships parked along the edge of a crater. It was unclear if the US government also provided the director with the faked pictures of the lunar landing in 1969 or if he got them from another source. In any case, I see nothing wrong with NASA trying to commercialize the historic event by selling fake pictures to cover aspects of the event not filmed directly.

The Secret Space DVDs revealed to me one underlying and undeniable truth: no branch of the US government, its military or intelligence agencies, has ever had any contact with aliens whatsoever, and no branch of the US government is covering up anything. When the US government initiated the alien disinformation campaign decades ago, it was widely believed that contact with aliens was forthcoming and that this could prove harmful. Contact with aliens is no longer believed to be imminent; nonetheless, the US government rigorously continues the disinformation campaign just as a precaution. Of course, contact with civilized aliens could still prove harmful. For example, it could harm the US government's plans to continue the slaughter in Iraq, and it could harm the US government's plans to put nuclear weapons into orbit. Indeed, with the need to come to grips with extraterrestrial life, people are likely to become far less tolerate of human beings killing each other, and we might also witness a surge in war protests from around the world.

I congratulate the US government on their brilliant alien disinformation campaign. Likely, they hired some of the world's top-ranked psychologists to help them on that one. Fifty years of fabricated UFO sightings, false alien abductions, faked cover-ups, and so forth, have discredited the aliens in the public mind, to the point that a real alien, when and if one should ever appear, may be wholly ignored. In fact, this brainwashing of the masses campaign was so successful that if a real alien spacecraft were to come to Earth and then hover directly on top of the White House, they could probably succeed in explaining it away as just a secret experiment for presidential security.

In past times, people were burned at the stake for merely believing in the existence of extraterrestrial life. There seems to be less burning at the stake these days, but other than that, nothing has changed. Then, as now, extraterrestrial intelligence remains the most terrifying obstacle for war-minded humans. Naturally, the US government has taken measures to protect its military activities from all harm.

With alien spaceships now fully discredited, the only real danger for the US government is that an astronomer somewhere or another will pick up a clear, unmistakable signal from aliens in deep space. As a precaution against this devastating possibility, the US government, a long time ago, pressured the world community into agreements whereby, in the event any astronomer picks up an alien signal, that signal would have to undergo prolonged scrutiny by the US intelligence agencies before it could be announced to the world by the United Nations. SETI astronomers be forewarned. The US government does not take kindly to anyone or anything that could upset their war plans, and there can be no guarantee that the United Nations will ever announce your discovery.

Life on Other Worlds Vs Only Life on Earth

Does life abundantly exist on other worlds, or does this precious commodity called life only reside on Earth?

The whole universe is so enormous no human being can actually wrap his tiny mind around the concept. If you can conceive of any measurement of uncountable gazillions of light-years across the expanse of this whole universe, or even infinity for that matter, then you must be a god, or at least a pretty smart person.

So, if life - that vibrant sentient slimy thing that oozes about - only thrives on this insignificant third stone from the bright gaseous ball we see in the sky every day, then all of existence is a very sad place. But there are actually people that believe this. Not just atheists, who claim life is a fluke of evolution, but there are certain fundamentalist Christians who think the existence of aliens would put a hole in the plan of salvation by Jesus Christ. This is a greater controversial subject than most people think. Because some people just don't think at all, but those that do think, or think things through, will either decide to be in one camp or the other. There's the No Life Out There At All Camp, then there's the Life Everywhere Camp. It's kind of like Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice. Should we let the aliens throughout the universe live, or should we abort them all?

If we let them all live, then they can continue to secretly visit us, to spy on us, or eavesdrop on our business so they can report back to the mother ship, explaining that we brainless humans are on a nonsensical path of self-annihilation. To which they'll shrug their shoulders and move on. But if we abort the lot of them, then we'll be all alone in the whole universe.

John Michael Greer is a distinguished authority on UFO activities and research. In his book The UFO Phenomenon, he makes a clear case for life on other worlds. Let's see what he has to say about the matter at hand: "The idea that intelligent beings might inhabit other worlds, in fact, has been in circulation in the Western world for more than two-thousand years. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Democritus of Abdera (c.460-370 BCE) and Epicurus (341-270 BCE) argued that inhabited worlds existed all through an infinite cosmos." He says a little later, "and Etienne Templer, Bishop of Paris, ruled in 1277 that it counted as an article of Christian faith that God could make as many inhabited worlds as he wanted to."

So the possibility of alien life beyond Earth is not a new idea at all. Sadly, just because we believe something is so, doesn't make it so, contrary to the popular belief of certain churches that have millions of followers that might believe certain things, such as life only existing on Earth. They all believe it because their whole church believes it; therefore, it must be true. Even though certain members of the scientific community adhere to their own belief that aliens do exit on other worlds. Will we ever know who is right?

John Michael Greer goes on to say, "It became something close to an article of faith among educated people that so immense a universe could not have been created for the benefit of human beings alone. Though some writers, notably William Whewell (1794-1866), argued against the existence of extraterrestrial life on religious grounds, the consensus of the times stood against them."

Unfortunately, just because this group or that group or certain individuals proclaim a certain stand, doesn't make it true. It's merely an opinion. So we have to look to those who have actually sighted UFOs, or experienced abduction by aliens, or witnessed aliens in one way or the other. Sadly, the government gives such cases no credibility, and even Air Force pilots who have witnesses UFOs are silenced. But these instances give more credence then mere opinions. Although many UFO cases haven't been thoroughly reliable or credible, it's still obvious something extraordinary has been occurring on and around the Earth - or to be specific, something extraterrestrial.

It's true, we have had countless eyewitnesses, but likewise there have been mistaken and misidentified cases, fabricated cases, planted misinformation, hoaxes, tall tales, and essentially numerous undetermined cases. And the government is still endeavoring to keep us in the dark about the truth. The percentage of unreliable and uncertain cases is larger, this is true. The smaller percentage of reliable cases is still there, but the government still declares them as unreliable. But this percentage is still enough to suggest the UFO phenomenon is real.

Stanton Friedman, author of Flying Saucers and Science, puts it this way: "The evidence that planet Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft is overwhelming. In other words, some UFOs are ET spacecraft. Most are not -- I don't care about them."

The UFO debunkers depend on the higher percentages against UFOs, and they presume that the smaller percentage means that there's nothing going on. When we're looking for one single needle in a whole haystack, it only took that one needle to get us looking, not a million of them. Fortunately, there have been several thousands of needles in the haystack, even though millions of them have been false alarms. Not to mention the debunkers are looking in all the wrong places, because they don't want to know the truth. They would rather fabricate evidence and create disinformation for the public, only to confuse everyone and plant doubt in their minds.

We haven't solidly proven that UFOs or ETs exist - not to the whole public, at any rate. The numerous eyewitnesses scattered about the world know the truth, but they're given no credibility by the authorities. They're accused of being frauds in most cases. What we do have is millions of miscellaneous puzzle pieces, and many of them are missing, because they're being suppressed. So the puzzle can't be complete without all the pieces. But they're slowly coming together, and I believe that someday the truth will be obvious and will be shoved in our collective faces. I believe the truth is that life does thrive on countless other worlds besides Earth. The universe would be a very lonely place if this weren't so.
