UFO In Pursuit by U.S. Airforce

“Have a look at this leaked footage of what looks an airial pursuit of a UFO by a United States Airforce F-18 jet. The UFO in question is a small triangle object that is certainly travelling at a super sonic high rate of speed. Some Ufologists are split in what this footage is stating that it may infact be a new high tech “proto-type” aircraft owned by the U.S. Government. Also possibly created in the Ultra-Secret base Area 51 or another facility with the same credentials. This does raise the question however that something is definately occurring in our skies above. ”

Canada’s UFOs

The Library and Archives Canada collection of government records on UFOs was acquired from the following four federal departments and agencies:

  • Department of National Defence
  • Department of Transport
  • National Research Council
  • Royal Canadian Mounted Police

These documents were accumulated between 1947 and the early 1980s and represent all records filed with the federal government on UFOs. There are approximately 9,500 digitized documents in a variety of formats, including correspondence, reports, memos and procedures. Some are specifically concerned with particular UFO sightings, while others are more generic in nature; these may consist of reporting forms and procedures for recording events.

Although most documents contain a date (pertaining either to a sighting date or the date the document was actually created), some are undated. Similarly, approximately half of the documents refer to a specific UFO sighting location, while the others fail to mention a particular location.

Psychic Warfare from 1981-2008


image

I’m publishing this to clear out 2008. Like my 10 Ways article, this was written for Key 64 although it never got published.  With the ESP Bootcamp coming up, and ambient synchronicity going off the charts, I figured right now is a great time to re-examine the psychic potential of human beings.  This material is also relevant to the work/play I’m doing with Tim Boucher to develop MandalaOS and several other biocomputing systems for Omnivate LLC.  I’ve quietly started up a Brainsturbator Tumblr account—BRNSTRBTR—and my notes on Living Interfaces might be of interest to the curious future mutants among you.

PSYCHIC WARFARE from 1981-2008

“I never liked to get into debates with the skeptics, because if you didn’t believe that remote viewing was real, you hadn’t done your homework.”

–Major General Edmund R Thompson

image

The year I was born, in 1981, the US Government decided magick was real.  Well, the “US Government” is of course an abstraction—specifically, Congressional Research Service was commissioned to do a report on psychic phenomena and offered the following conclusion:

“Recent experiments in remote viewing and other studies in parapsychology suggest that there exists an ‘interconnectiveness’ of the human mind with other minds and with matter. This interconnectiveness would appear to be functional in nature and amplified by intent and emotion.”

That sounds like a pretty accurate description of magick to me.  Score one for the weirdos, right?

Of course, I don’t expect you to believe that. Ignore any claims that wouldn’t get made outside a college-level physics textbook.  There is no need to believe in non-human or “extra-dimensional” intelligence, no need to believe in telekinesis, no need to believe in any of the claims made by the magick community.  They are merely designing rituals to alter their perception and experiencing self-generated hallucinations.

The illusion of moving images is a puzzle that humans have cracked to great success, and by flashing sequential photographs at 24 frames per second or more, we get to watch movies—windows back in time.  Humans have even learned to “fake” three-dimensional objects with holographic technology.

If it can be engineered, it can be reverse engineered. If these people are “merely” altering their own consciousness and then taking their own imagination at face value, these rituals can be modeled, measured and ultimately replicated.  It is obvious, both to skeptics and to practicing magicians, that most of the words, props and staging involved with ritual is a matter of personal preference and probably not integral to the actual effects.

The basic effects we’re discussing here need to be stated precisely.  Human beings, through mental effort and concentration, can work physical effects in the outside world without any visible or measurable force being exerted.  These effects are indeed small and slight, but that’s all humans have ever needed.

Psi is worth studying because with enough data and discussion, we can figure out the mechanism at work behind this.  The second that’s done, humans will be working on replicating, enhancing and amplifying these effects with technology. We’ve figured out how to pull off some amazing magic tricks with elemental forces of nature.  Electricity was once an obscure and controversial phenomenon, too.

image

Rational materialism objects that the human body doesn’t produce enough energy to account for these effects, but this is thinking on the wrong level of scale.  As humans on the surface of a spinning planet being exposed to solar and interstellar radiation, we are constantly swimming in energy fields.  It would be a subtle but powerful biological trick to harness this energy.

Biology does that more or less constantly, on every level of scale. I’m not talking “spiritual” or “ethereal” anything, this is simple as photosynthesis, and amazing as the oceans dancing through space with the moon.

Another explanation for psi phenomena that gets invoked a great deal is quantum physics.  I suspect that the experimental basis of quantum theory is very relevant, but not the proposed explantions.  Even the founding fathers were not satisfied with their own explanations.  What did Erwin Shroedinger think of quantum physics? “I do not like it, and I am sorry I ever had anything to do with it,” he said.

The reason quantum theory is weird, stated nakedly, is that it contradicts almost everything we experience in our daily lives. Sober and eminently rational men of science took a peek into the smallest level of scale that humans can percieve—so far—and what they found baffled them and defied the existing, Euclidian concepts of physics.

The traditional narrative explanation holds that science gradually accepted the fact that at the quantum level, all the rules suddenly change.

Personally, I think that’s not a necessary step: science had it wrong to begin with, and at the quantum level, their measuring equipment is precise enough to prove it.  The results of the classic quantum experiments—results that you yourself can reproduce—are strong evidence for human psi phenomena.  In other words, I am claiming that the results of these experiments are determined and directly affected by the scientists who observe them. This is not the same as claiming “we create the universe,” just pointing out that our interaction with the universe interferes with our measurements.

Everyone who shaped Quantum Physics disagreed with one another, vehemently and often totally, about the meaning of their own work.  Einstien rejected the “spooky” aspects of the entire system, Heisenberg thought that Schrodinger’s work was “disgusting,” and Schrodinger in turn was “repelled” by Heisenberg’s theories.

Not surprisingly, Schrodinger and Heisenberg both proved themselves right.  This, in and of itself, is a very valuable lesson that’s very difficult to learn.  For instance, if you disagree with my version of quantum theory, you’re not wrong…but then again, neither am I.

POINTS FOR RESEARCH.

“Often one hears, ‘I believe in telepathy’ or ‘I don’t believe.’ But what does this really have to do with belief?  That is not a scientific formulation of the question.  We need to research those problems scientifically.”

–Lazar Soukarebsky

imageIn 2008, do we have the technology nescessary to radically alter the perception and thoughts of other human beings, without their knowledge?

We live in a world where many technological advances are supressed, either by military classification, corporate secrecy, or vested interests who would be threatened by change.  However, based on limited knowledge through de-classified and publicly available resources, it looks like the answer is a definite yes.

The two most common methods of forced consciousness change are electromagnetic signals and pharmaceutical drugs, and both methods have long, colorful research histories involving military, religious, and corporate forces.  However, it’s worth considering that the media environment itself provides the most important technology of control, hidden in plain sight.

This is even more signifigant when you consider that the science of memetics is still very much in a pre-paradigm state. There’s no working explanation of how memes actually transfer and replicate themselves, and no functional description of what a “meme” even is.

Most proposed theories are biological metaphors: language as a virus, for instance.  Most of these metaphors hold up beautifully, especially viewing human culture as a stigmergic communication network, such as an ant or bacteria colony.  Stigmergy is the invisible system behind swarm behavior, where critters alter their environment to leave cues for other critters.  There’s no central planning, but the behavior that emerges will appear to be intelligently guided.

There’s a simpler and more disturbing possibility, based on the 1950s research of Herbert Krugman.  He discovered early on that television watching induces a shift towards right brain dominance in human primates.  This phenomenon also triggers the release of endorphins, and seems to indicate that television is literally and physically addictive.  If this is the case, then nearly anything that goes on a TV screen would have powerful mental and physical effects.

A number of eminent scientists have proposed theories of new fields in order to explain psi phenomena.  Rupert Sheldrakehas outlined remarkable research into morphogenetic fields, which enable instantaneous communication over vast distances.  Another quality heretic is Ervin Laszlo, a very respected man who’s probably lived far longer than some would like.  He left the Club of Rome, disgusted with their elitism and technofascist beliefs, and then added injury to insult by publishing “Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything,”which suggests that our Universe shares background information fields of zero point quantum fuzz with every other possible Universe, simultaneously.

image

Perhaps it’s nothing so grandiose.  I’ve recently been re-reading Marvin Minsky’s book“Society of Mind,”which is a collection of single-page essays about the component parts of consciousness.  Minsky was an early AI researcher, who has been guided by the assumption that consciousness is the sum of thousands of small, unremarkable parts: simple biological calculations, energy transfers, and information coding.  Although I don’t buy his argument, I’ve found the book is more compelling when read in reverse: as a working description of how a whole society’s mind would actually work.

The physical principle of entrainment also has implications for a possible psi mechanism.  Recent brain research has generated a lot of publicity for “mirror neurons” as the physical explanation for human empathy, as well as the physical entrainment that happens during human interaction.

Questions of entrainment lead to questions of scale.  If other humans can exert powerful unconscious effects on us, what about the larger environment?  Earth is constantly radiated with energy from the sun, other stars, and ambient galactic space weather.  In the history of parapsychology research, though, experiments indicate that all this energy flow is not enabling psi phenomena.  In fact, most sources agree that exposure to ambient energy fields inhibits psi strength and performance.

“Of particular interest here is the growing literature in parapsychology suggesting that perceptual psi, both in the lab and spontaneously in life, improves as GMF fluctuations decrease.”
–Dean Radin, The Conscious Universe, pg. 177

image

“When you’re inside [a Faraday cage], a psychic, for example, has their performance increased by a thousand fold. A Faraday cage shields you from the electromagnetic radio waves, allowing only extremely low frequency (E.L.F.) magnetic waves to get through. I don’t think there’s a psychic warfare research lab that doesn’t make use of them today.”
–Andrija Puharich, random online interview

image

It should come as no surprise that some people have exceptional psychic skills—the same is true for baseball, music and all other forms of human endeavor.  However, if psychic ability is a basic human potential, then this material should be useful for anyone interested in this phenomena, regardless of “natural talent.”

Mystical traditions are full of conflicting dietary restrictions, and many trance mediums were vegetarians who avoided refined sugars.  In the absence of any biological mechanism for psi, it’s impossible to judge any of this tradition except for personal experimentation.  If psi is related to DNA biophontonic effects,then perhaps the sugar ban is not superstition, as refined sugar has been shown to reduce the biophotonic emission of human DNA considerably.  The health implications and even the cause of DNA emitting biophotons remain unknown.

All of this, of course, is ultimately conjecture in the face of the unknown.  That’s a good thing, too.  Despite billions of dollars, global resources, and classified technology, the monkeys who think they’re in charge aren’t any closer to The Truth than the rest of us weirdos.

This much we do know: don’t bet against human potential.

Perhaps this is all self-delusion.  Of course I want to believe human beings have psychic powers, but that’s just hippie optimism from an overgrown kid who read too much X-Men.  With both neurology and physics in a transition state, I’m selectively cherry-picking anomalous facts to make my fantasy sound more “scientific.”

Still: Most of you reading this have psychic mutant superpowers you’re currently unaware of. Unlocking them is a means of mentally and emotionally enabling yourself, as well as doing the research to understand your abilities and better manipulate them.

There is nobody else to do this research for us.  There are no trustworthy experts—in fact, most of the best writers in the field are con artists and anonymous pseudonyms.  A revival of “scientific illuminism” has never been more important than it is in 2008.  Although there’s a great deal more money in gathering followers, our best tool for meaningful progress is communication among equals.

If you can hook people and make learning sexy, that’s magic at the highest level. When lies become true, most humans call that prophecy, some folks call that public relations, and a few carnival hoodlums recognize a great pitch. Every idea already exists, but few of them have ever been pitched persuasively.

I know what you’re thinking.

Secret UFO Files Released

Secret UFO files released by UK government

LONDON, England (CNN) – Britain’s Ministry of Defense has released files on UFO sightings dating back to the 1970s, including witness accounts and the government’s response.

art.taiwan.gi.jpg

The ministry on Wednesday released the files as part of a four-year project to transfer all of the UFO documents to the National Archives to make them available to curious members of the public.

The documents include hundreds of police reports taken from witnesses who describe seeing lights or strange objects in the sky, from southern England and Wales up to Northern Ireland.

The files released Wednesday cover 1978 to 1987. The rest, dating from the 1950s and covering recent history, will be released over the coming years.

Reported sightings typically describe various shapes and colors of lights, moving in formation or hovering in the sky.

Witnesses reported orange, red, white and green lights that were diamond-shaped, square, or cigar-shaped. They reported them to police, who have a standard 16-question form specifically for UFO sightings.

“The vast majority of them are just ordinary people who’ve seen something unusual and thought that they ought to tell someone about it,” said David Clarke, a professor at Sheffield Hallam University and a UFO expert who worked with the National Archives on the project.

In one sighting in January 1985, a man near Cardiff, Wales, was closing his living room curtains when he saw an object in the sky. He said it moved “up and down like a bouncing ball,” then disappeared behind a mountain.

Two police officers in Woking, south of London, reported seeing a white light in the sky on Christmas morning 1985. The light, they said, moved into the nearby area of Horsell, where author H.G. Wells had placed the Martian landing in his book, “War of the Worlds.”

The person who took the report noted the officers were aware of the connection, writing, “Genuine report. Two competent officers slightly embarrassed (Horsell Common features in H.G. Wells).”

Don’t Miss

Two other police officers in Edgware, north London, reported seeing an object in the sky in June 1984. They viewed it with binoculars for an hour and sketched a picture, showing a white sphere with a ring of blue and red lights.

“The object moved erratically from side to side, up and down and to and fro, not venturing far from its original position,” the officers wrote.

Other reports came from stunned members of the public, pilots, and members of the military.

The Ministry of Defense said it examined the reports and held onto the records solely to determine whether enemy aircraft had infiltrated British airspace. Once it was determined that no enemy aircraft were in the sky, it did not investigate further. Video Watch why the ministry is revealing what it knows about UFOs »

“The Ministry of Defense has no other interest or role regarding UFO matters and does not consider questions regarding the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life-forms,” it said Wednesday.

That leaves many of the incidents simply unexplained, such as an April 1984 report made by a senior air traffic controller at an unidentified airfield.

The controller was bringing in a light aircraft for landing when he noticed a series of lights appearing to come down on another runway. The crew of the incoming plane radioed that they saw the lights, too.

All reported that they saw the lights come down “at speed,” touch down, and disappear.

“They were so concerned about this, they filed an official report,” Clarke said. “But what was the thing that they saw? There’s no evidence from the papers that any further investigations were done and it remains a mystery.”

In 1979, two years after Steven Spielberg’s alien-visitation movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” reports of strange sightings had increased and the House of Lords decided to hold a debate on UFOs.

One of the documents released Wednesday is a detailed briefing prepared by the Ministry of Defense for the debate, and it sheds light on the military’s position on the matter.

“There is nothing to indicate that ufology (the study of UFOs) is anything but claptrap and no evidence at all of ‘alien space craft,’” read the briefing, prepared by the ministry for Lord Strabolgi, then government chief whip.

At least one report in the files has since been explained, however.

A report from August 1985 details the crop circles that two army officers found in a wheat field in Andover, in southern England. They noted one large circle surrounded by four smaller ones, all perfectly round with the wheat pressed down in a clockwise direction.

No tracks led up to the circles, they said.

The farmer called the army officers because he thought the Army Air Corps had created the circles, but the officers said they were stumped.

“None of us could offer any reasonable explanation,” they wrote.

It is now known that the crop circles were some of many created by two hoaxers named Doug Bowers and Dave Chorley, according to Clarke.

“Doug and Dave,” as they were called, came forward in 1990 to say they created the circles with a garden roller and planks of wood, Clarke said.

“We now know that this particular circle near Andover was one of the ones that was created as a hoax by these two men,” he said.

Declassified Government Documents About UFOs

Declassified Government Documents Reveal the Truth About UFOs

As any viewer of Fringe or The X-Files will tell you, the governments of the world know more about UFOs and alien life than they’re letting on. The party line may be that UFO sightings are mere misunderstandings and close encounters a fantasy, but not every government official agrees. We’ve rifled through tons of declassified government documents and turned up papers that prove the truth about UFOs is still out there.

Estimate of the Situation (1948)
Prepared by: The United States Air Force’s Project Sign
Contents: During its single year of existence, Sign investigated reports of UFO phenomena. Estimate of the Situation stated that, while the existence of alien saucers could be neither confirmed or denied, most Sign personnel believed that the extraterrestrial hypothesis was the most likely explanation for the phenomena. Since the technology reported by UFO observers was not currently available on Earth, it was likely of extraterrestrial origin, a possibility many in intelligence circles were willing to accept.
Proof of Alien Life? Critics of the Estimate note that the report does not cite any physical evidence of extraplanetary technology (although some claim that the report of physical evidence was censored). But the Air Force was worried enough about theEstimate that it was long suppressed, with officials denying that such a report ever existed. And when members of Sign continued to stand by their extraterrestrial hypothesis, the project was dissolved and its members assigned to other projects.

The Project Magnet Report (1952)
Prepared by: The Canadian Department of Transportation
Contents: The Department of Transportation set up Project Magnet to determine whether extraterrestrial vehicles could be exploiting the Earth’s magnetic field as a method of propulsion. The 1952 Project Magnet report rejected the idea that UFO sightings could be explained as balloons, conventional aircraft, or optical illusions. Given the apparent size and technological capabilities of the crafts, the report concluded:

It appears then, that we are faced with a substantial probability of the real existence of extra-terrestrial vehicles, regardless of whether or not they fit into our scheme of things. Such vehicles of necessity must use a technology considerably in advance of what we have. It is therefore submitted that the next step in this investigation should be a substantial effort towards the acquisition of this technology, which would without doubt be of great value to us.

Proof of Alien Life? Two days after Project Magnet’s observational facility recorded what it believed to be gravimetric variation consistent with an alien vehicle, the Canadian Department of Transportation abruptly ended the program in light of unwanted publicity. The DOT claimed it was because the research was turning up nothing new, but it could be because its secret project wasn’t so secret anymore.

Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14 (1954)
Prepared by: The US Air Force’s Project Blue Book
Contents: After the dissolution of Project Sign and its UFO-debunking successor Project Grudge, Project Blue Book was tasked with the Air Force’s investigation into UFO phenomena. Special Report No. 14 classified various UFO phenomena and described the characteristics between known phenomena – which Blue Book could explain – and “unknown” phenomena, which it could not. Most significantly, the report explains that the reports in unknown phenomena are, in fact, highly detailed and tend to feature an unusually large number of witnesses who are especially competent to report on such phenomena (such as airline pilots and military personnel), as well as corroborating evidence, such as photographs and radar contact. The report indicated that 22% of the cases were unknown.
Proof of Alien Life? The Air Force tried to downplay the percentage of unknowns, and even claimed the report proved that UFOs were not extraterrestrial in origin. But some critics found the high number of well-reported unknowns alarming. Project Blue Book would continue investigating reports of UFOs until 1969, when the Air Force ended its research into UFO phenomena.

UFO Hypothesis and Survival Questions (1968)
Prepared by: The US National Security Agency
Contents: This document explores and rejects the hypotheses that all UFO sightings can be explained as either hoaxes, hallucinations, natural phenomena, or secret Earth projects. It goes on to discuss the implications of extraterrestrial life forms visiting Earth, noting that if UFOs are extraterrestrial in origin, these close encounters could herald humanity’s eventual conquest. It even goes so far as to list how a technologically inferior species could survive and maintain its identity in the face of an alien conqueror. The bottom line is that not knowing the origin of these phenomena presents a risk to national (and perhaps global) security, and that the US should treat the investigation into UFO phenomena with the same urgency that one would treat a cry of “rattlesnake”:

Investigation would become an intensive emergency action to isolate the threat and to determine it’s precise nature – It would be geared to developing adequate defensive measures in a minimum amount of time. It would seem a little more of this survival attitude is called for in dealing with the UFO problem.

Proof of Alien Life? The NSA has stated that this document should not be taken as evidence of the NSA’s belief in alien life, but it does indicate that it does suggest that at least some at the NSA were open to the possibility and believed were deeply disturbed that these potentially dangerous phenomena were left unexplained.

Tehran Incident Documents (1976-1978)
Prepared by: The US Department of Defense and Captain Henry S. Shields, HQ USAFE/INOMP
Contents: The article provides and account of the 1976 Tehran UFO incident, when two F-4 Phantom jet fighters were sent to investigate reports of a UFO spotted over Tehran. Each F-4 lost instrument and communication capability as it approached the object, only to find them restored once they retreated. One F-4 attempted to fire on the object, but its weapons systems malfunctioned. The object did not appear on any surveillance instruments, although several visual sightings did occur. In a classified article for MIJI Quarterly on the incident, Captain Shields writes:

No additional information or explanation of the strange events has been forthcoming; the story will be filed away and probably forgotten, but it makes interesting, and possibly disturbing, reading.

Proof of Alien Life? One of the pilots certainly thought so. Parviz Jafari of the Imperial Iranian Air Force has publicly demanded a worldwide investigation into UFO phenomena as a result of his encounter. The Iranian Air Force Deputy Commander, Lieutenant General Abdollah Azarbarzin reported the incident to the US Military Assistance Advisory Group in Tehran, stating that the UFO outperformed any known human aircraft. This is just one of many reported encounters that the US government has not been able to explain.

CIA Officials Conducting “Unofficial” Research (1976)
Prepared by: Individuals within the US CIA’s Domestic Collection Division
Contents: In response to a request for information on CIA UFO research, someone within the CIA wrote that some within the agency monitor and investigate UFO phenomena, albeit on an unofficial basis:

It does not seem that the government has any formal program in progress for the identification/solution of the UFO phenomena. Dr [censored] feel that the efforts of independent researchers, [censored], are vital for further progress in this area. At the present time, there are offices and personnel within the Agency who are monitoring the UFO phenomena, but again, this is not currently on an official basis. Dr [censored] feels that the best approach would be to keep in touch with and in fact develop reporting channels in this area to keep the Agency/community informed of any new developments. In particular, any information which might indicate a threat potential would be of interest, as would specific indications of foreign developments or applications of UFO related research.

A second letter confirms that the DCD was, in fact, collecting UFO-related information:

At a recent meeting to evaluate some material from [censored] you mentioned a personal interest in the UFO phenomenon. As you may recall, I mentioned my own interest in the subject as well as the fact that DCD had been receiving UFO related material from many of our S&T sources who are presently conducting related research. These scientists include some who have been associated with the Agency for years and who credentials remove them from the “nut variety.”

Proof of Alien Life? Any information related to UFO phenomena in these documents is censored, but it indicates that many CIA employees and contractors were working to better understand the UFO phenomena, even if their work wasn’t officially on the books.

The CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90 (2002)
Prepared by: Gerald Haines, official CIA historian
Content: In an article for Studies in Intelligence, Haines outlines the CIA’s involvement in UFO research. The CIA admits that it had conducted UFO research independent of the Air Force’s research, that it continued this research after the dissolution of Project Blue Book (which the CIA had a hand in), and that the Agency had deliberately concealed its interest in UFO phenomena from the public.
Proof of Alien Life? The article claims that the Agency maintained only a “low-key interest” in UFOs, which largely waned after the Cold War. It did admit, however, that some individuals within the CIA did take an active interest in the “parapsychology and psychic phenomena associated with UFO sightings.”

Comprehensive Catalog of 1,500 Project Blue Book UFO Unknowns (2003)
Prepared by: Fund for UFO Research (FUROR), based on Blue Book catalog
Content: Although not itself a government document, this document lists the 1,500 declassified UFO reports that Project Blue Book was unable to explain, as well as notes from Blue Book members (it is worth noting that FUROR and Project Blue Book use different criteria, and that Blue Book itself reported only 701 unknowns by its dissolution).
Proof of Alien Life? As with many Blue Book reports, the catalog provides no actual evidence of extraterrestrial life, but only suggests that some incidents require further investigation.
