- === UFO Projects & Theories & Controversies
- --------------------------------------------
-
- 6.00: Aurora Project or "deep black" projects
- ----------------------------------------------
- The "Black Projects" are governmental projects that are considered
- technological secrets. These can range from laser and particle beams to
- top secret aircraft. The "Aurora Project" is the name given to one of
- these types of projects by the industry experts involving two new types
- of reported aircraft. These aircraft where observed in the south west US
- and are said to have been developed at highly classified government
- facilities in the Nevada desert. There are two types of advanced aircraft
- reported.
-
- One is nick named the "Pulser" aircraft. There have been many sights of
- this aircraft by several different witnesses. When sighted it has
- repetitively been described as "A high-speed aircraft characterized by a
- very loud, deep, rumbling engine noise (1-2 Hz pulse rate) reminiscent of
- heavy-lift rockets." The smoke trail of the aircraft is described as
- being segmented and in a linked sausage shape. (Or another good example
- would be to look at one side of your coat zipper, un-zipped, with the
- teeth facing you) It is also described as a high-altitude aircraft that
- crossed the sky at extremely high speeds. Both ground based and airborne
- observers have reported it to be seen flying at altitudes above 50,000
- ft. observers have reported see the aircraft as a single bright light
- that seldom changed direction, however speed changes where observed. One
- observer estimated that it covered 350 miles in 6 minutes. (3500
- miles/hr)
-
-
- This this aircraft may indeed exist. There has been research in to what
- are called Pulsed Detonation Engines (PED's) also refereed to as Pulsed
- Detonation Wave Engines. These are different type of engine than the
- pulse jet engines, which is already publicly know, and has been tested in
- aircraft. The PED's are said to be in laboratory and computer analysis
- level of development (reported oct of 91) The PED's exhaust emission
- produces smoke trails that closely match the pulser aircraft. Simulations
- of theses engines are said to be able to propel large aircraft in the
- "Mach 0.2-3.0 flight regime"
-
- How PED's work: PED's use shock waves created in a detonation to compress
- the fuel-oxidizer mixture prior to combustion. A cylinder chamber
- designed to support the detonation is constructed with a flat forward end
- which makes up the thrust wall. Air along with fuel is fed into the
- engine from behind the thrust-wall. The detonation wave created travels
- forward to the thrust wall at about Mach 4 and compresses the fuel-air
- mixture, promotes supersonic combustion and causes a pressure rise in the
- engine. The wave then strikes the thrust wall and rebounds accelerating
- the combustion products towards the nozzle. Some of the products are
- ejected by the wave to the outside air-stream through the air inlet
- openings creating a toroidal vortex out side the engine. Then the cycle
- repeats.
-
- The said advantages of this type of engine are:
- * Theoretically a higher fuel efficiency than a "constant pressure engine"
- * Engines can be produced in many sizes and thrust outputs from a few
- inches in diameter at a thrust of several pounds to larger one that can
- output in the thousands of pounds range.
- * They have high thrust to weight ratio (ie.lighter engine, more thrust)
- * They are mechanically simple, and have few moving parts.
- * They could operate in or out of the atmosphere using fuel oxidizers.
-
-
- There is very little information on the other reported aircraft. It is
- reported as "A triangular-shaped, quiet aircraft". This craft has been
- seen by many observers and flying with several F-117 stealth aircraft.

- 6.02: NASA Footage September 10th
- ---------------------------------
- Space Ice or an alien craft dodging a missile. That's the big debate on
- the footage taken by an unmanned camera on the space shuttle. One side
- says that it is space Ice accelerated by the space shuttles thrusters.
- The other side says the excelleration of some the objects don't follow
- the correct paths don't match physics. They speculate its a alien craft
- dodging a Starwars missile.

-
- 6.03: Planetoid (Wormwood)
- --------------------------
- Beyond Pluto astronomers believe there is a ring of ice chunks circling
- the solar system 37 to 59 A.U. from the sun. They have called the ice
- belt the Kuiper belt. Beyond that astronomers say there is a similarly
- composed Oort cloud which forms a sphere around our planetary system that
- stretches two light years in distance. A tiny red spot of light was
- recorded in hawaii in October of 92, which is thought to be the first
- component of the Kuiper belt ever observed. The object was named 1992 QB1.
- It is about 200 km across and 5.1 billion km away from the sun (41.2
- a.u.). The object is fairly red, suggesting a surface rich in organics.
- The current position is, for 0h UT on September 15, 1992: 0h 00.09+0d
- 01'.7 (2000.0). It is moving retrograde at only 3" per hour. David Jewitt
- and Jane Luu discovered it using the University of Hawaii's 2.2-meter
- telescope on Mauna Kea. They have been searching for such an object for
- the last five years. The first images were secured August 30, but just as
- with the discovery of Pluto in 1930 the discovery was kept "under wraps"
- for awhile to allow a better assessment. Jewitt believes it to be one of
- the larger members of the Kuiper belt. Jewitt says that it will take two
- months to confirm the object.
-
- Another theory involving the planetoid comes to us from channelers. It is
- a hollowed out body that was moved here by the Reptoids, in order to
- transport an army of Grays or Reptoids. [sorry, I'm not sure which, I
- haven't had a chance to research this in-depth] It is now parked outside
- the orbit of Pluto. It is currently being used as a base by the
- Reptoids.
-
- Then there is also the theory that the planetoid may be the star that is
- mentioned in the Bible as "Wormwood" (also translated as "bitterness");
- which when the "third angel" in the book of Revelation blew his trumpet,
- fell to the earth and poisoned one third of the earths waters. Another
- interesting fact is that "chernobyl" (as in the Nuclear power plant in
- "Russia" that had a meltdown) in Ukranian also means Wormwood.

- 6.04: Project Blue Book
- -----------------------
- On Sep 30 ,1947 Lt General Twining of ACM expressed his opinion that there
- was sufficient substance in reports to warrant a study on UFOs. On Dec.
- 23,1947 Project Sign was established to collect, collate, evaluate, and
- disseminate all information concerning UFO sightings and phenomena.
- Project sign completed it evaluations in Feb of 1949 and concluded "No
- definite and conclusive evidence is yet available that would prove or
- disprove the existence of these UFOs as real aircraft of unknown and
- unconventional configuration." Project Sign was changed to Project Grudge
- on Dec.16, 1948. Project Grudge recommended that the investigation and
- study of UFO reports be reduce in scope. In early 1950 UFO reports by the
- public increased. This prompted Project Grudge to be changed to Project
- Blue Book in march of 1952.
-
- Project Blue Book goals were to find out:
- 1: To find an explanation for all the reported sighting of UFO's.
- 2: To determine if the UFO posed any security threat to the United States.
- 3: To determine if UFO's exhibit any advanced technology which the U.S.
- could Utilize.
-
- When the project ended the Air Force concluded:
- 1: There is no evidence that any UFOs are "extraterrestrial vehicles"
- 2: No UFO has ever given any indication of a threat to the national
- security.
- 3: There is no evidence that UFO's represent technological developments
- or principals beyond present-day scientific knowledge.
-
- You can get the project Blue Book papers from Any Federal Repository which
- has copies of National Archives material (there are various scattered
- around the country). Or, you can go to the National Archives in
- Washington, DC. They're on microfilm, like the Census records that
- genealogists use.
-
- [I will finish researching this later, I had to return the book before I
- was done. :-(]

- 6.05: Roswell Crash Incident
- ----------------------------
- The Roswell Incident started with sightings of UFOs on June 24, 1947. In
- July 2, of the sane year Mac Brazel heard a loud crash. The next day he
- went out Horseback riding with a neighbor and came upon a field with
- debris scattered about.
-
- The debris field was 3/4 of a mile long and 300 feet wide. It was
- oriented in a northwest to southeast direction. There was a gouge in the
- northwest side of the debris field that was 500 feet long and 10 feet
- wide. The debris on the field mostly consisted of I-beams and parchment
- like, paper thin pieces of metal material. The material was very light in
- weight, a dull gray in color, and most pieces were 6 to 7 inches in
- length. Some pieces that were even thinner that paper could not be
- broken in half, cut or burned.
- Mac Brazel collected several pieces of the debris and went back to his
- ranch. On July 6, Brazel went into Roswell to report what he had seen
- and to show a piece of the debris to sheriff Wilcox. The sheriff decided
- to call the local air base. During this time Frank Joyce called in from
- the local radio station to see if anything newsworthy was happening
- around town. Brazel gave him the information about what he had found.
- Major Jesse A. Marcel and a few other military personal arrived from
- the base only a few minutes after the sheriff had finished talking to
- the people at the base. Brazel and the military personal left and went
- back to the Ranch. The next morning (July 7) they went to the crash
- sight. The military retrieved some of the debris and returned to Roswell.
- On July 8, the military came back and sealed off the area, They took
- Brazel into custody. That same day they found a second crash sight two
- and 1/2 miles southeast of the first. Barney Barnett and 4
- archaeologists had stumbled onto the new sight a few minutes before the
- military had gotten there. At the sight was found a "pretty good sized
- metallic dull gray object" and 4 small alien bodies. They were 4 to 5
- feet tall, with large pair shaped heads, small bodies and skinny arms
- and legs. They had two large eyes, no ears and no hair. Their skin was
- pinkish grey and leathery. They were wearing a one piece grey suits. The
- civilians were escorted out of the area when the military arrived.
-
- On July 9th the military escorted Brazel to the radio station , there
- he told Frank Joyce that he saw a weather balloon. He left again with the
- military and didn't get back to his ranch until around July 15. Later
- when asked about what had happened Brazel said he had given a oath and
- could not talk about it.
- The Incident remained closed and the public and UFO research
- organizations at large accepted the weather balloon story until 1970 when
- Jesse A. Marcel broke the silence and told his part in the story.

- - A program that originates from Pennsylvania, it has a pre-recorded
- and a live section. The person who runs it sells packets of books by
- mail-order. He likes to think that he is presenting irrefutable proof not
- only of the existence of UFOs but also of the Government's Conspiracy to
- keep them secret and frequently features people like Randall Terry.

- ----------------------
- - a late 1970's half-hour show, currently in syndication
- (on A&E, right now), hosted by Leonard Nimoy. Each show took on a
- different unusual phenomenon, and gave a thumbnail sketch of the story of
- it. The show's format was decidedly non-sceptical, with lines like "could
- it be that <'believer' side>?" and "some believe that <believer side>".
- UFO-related shows include "UFO", "UFO Australia", "UFO Captives", "Earth
- Visitors", and several others, along with various non-UFO things -- Loch
- Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Killer Bees, Atlantis, Reincarnation, DB Cooper,
- Shroud of Turin, and some fairly mundane things - Tornados, Volcanos, and
- Earthquakes. The Fox network show "Sightings" is very similar in theme,
- but often devotes significantly less time to a given subject.

- 8.15: Revelations of Awareness
- ------------------------------
- "Revelations of Awareness" published by Cosmic Awareness Communications
- (CAC).
-
- Revelations of Awareness is a Newsletter that covers UFO as they relate
- to channeling and the New Age movement. All the information given in the
- newsletter is information recorded from channeling sessions. The format
- of of the news letter begins with a question asked of the Cosmic
- Awareness, then replies are given by the Awareness through the rest of
- the news letter starting out with the phrase "This Awareness indicates..."
-
- The following Statement appears at the top of every Issue:
-
- Cosmic Awareness is the force that expressed Itself through Jesus of
- Nazareth, the Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, Edgar Cayce and other great
- avatars who served as 'Channels' for the 'Heavenly Father' and who speaks
- again today as the world begins to enter the 'New Age' of spiritual
- consciousness and awareness. Since 1963 Cosmic Awareness has been
- communicating through carefully trained channels. This information is for
- those who desire to help in bringing in the new age. Throughout the
- thousands of 'Readings' given through these various channels, Cosmic
- Awareness tells us not to believe anything, but to question, explore,
- doubt, and discover for yourself, through your own channel what is the
- truth. Cosmic Awareness will only 'indicate' and 'suggest'. Neither C.A.C
- or any of the Interpreters is responsible for anything Cosmic Awareness
- states in any of these readings, nor does C.A.C. or the Interpreters
- necessarily agree with the statements of Cosmic Awareness. The
- interpreters interpret the energies as they see them in trance levels and
- are not personally responsible for what is said. This is entirely the
- responsibility of the editor. Members of C.A.C. are invited to send in
- questions of general interest to ask Awareness for possible publication
- in this newsletter.

- NASA Pics Sites

- NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous;

-
- telnet nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov
- login as "NODIS"
- no password
-
- Anonymous ftp sites (five):
-
- nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov [128.183.10.4]
-
- This is a VAX/VMS box, so you must ftp-login as "anonymous". To get
- a dir listing into a file on your system:
-
- ftp> dir [...] file_on_your_system
-
- vab02.larc.nasa.gov
-
- lots of stuff, including Aliens of all colors, and UFO pix (though
- this
- seems to mirror a lot of what's at phoenix.oulu.fi and has some
- additional material).
-
- ames.arc.nasa.gov
-
- online copies of what appears to be all NASA's CD-ROMs, and lots of
- GIFs, *.img and *.jpg from most (all?) space missions since Apollo.
