Ways and ways to hush them up

Updated 29.1.2014 We are living exciting times as UFO Disclosure seems to be getting close. But how is it even possible that the secrecy on UFOs has prevailed year after year, decade after decade?

Simply because there are ways, and there are ways, to hush them up -  the witnesses that is! If the most obvious method doesn't work, then another one is employed. Or a third one. There are many ways to hush anyone up! This article does not even begin to deal with the role of the media, and their part in the ridiculation of the whole UFO issue (although things are improving in that regard), but concentrates only on the silencing at the individual level. This article means in no way to put any blame on the hushed-up individuals, of course not! But only point to the methods enlisted to silence people - which could be anyone in similar circumstances and position. Anything so that the monkeys depicted saying "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" will likewise make us state that "I didn't see anything, I heard nothing, I will not say anything". Luckily, there is a deadline even for this secrecy  - which nevertheless may have resulted in deaths for some - even if nothing can be proven.

First the most obvious - not a threat but rather an - appeal:
You are not to talk about this to anyone for it may damage national security!

If this for some reason doesn't help, various threats can be employed, especially if you are - employed: If you don't agree to secrecy, we will

cut your salary
demote you
put you on leave without pay
ostrasize you
ridicule you
send you to a mental institution
fire you
take away your pension benefits
brainwash you
alter your memories
kill you
kill your loved ones
kill your descendants

And if you are just a regular civilian:
you will get detention (in school)
you will be relegated from school
you will be fired

If these threats - some of them unuttered, yet understood - don't help, damage can be inflicted through various ways:
inflicted disease
declaring mental incompetence
appearant accident or suicide 

No matter what the method of intimidation, it has obviously been effective. To top that, there is the widespread  and highly expected self-censorship. Nevertheless, as more and more witnesses are speaking out, the veil of secrecy is becoming increasingly thinner till it one day might disappear altogether. Until that happens, civilian self-censorship may yet prove to be the hardest thing to break.

PS. The three monkeys above are actually Three wise monkeys whose wisdom may be showing now in finally disclosing the truth about UFOs. Still, the question remains whether it is wise to know it all.

Sightings from Commercial Airplanes

Artist's rendition of the JAL's UFO encounter in 1986
Updated 25.1.2014 This page deals solely with sightings from within commercial airplanes - by the pilots and/or the passengers. There are many such sightings, and with today's mobile phones with good cameras, some good enough videos are taken as well. Pilots with their greater experience are of course the key witnesses, but the passengers on the other hand have seldom any pressure or reason to hide what they have witnessed.

For the sake of clarity place names are given here for the approximate location in the air. Private planes included as well.

1978- Washington D.C. Cosmonaut Pavel Popovich witnesses together with other passengers a very bright, white triangle-shaped UFO while flying home from Washington D.C. in 1978. - Out of the Blue(at45ms25) -  
1978-1021-1912 Bass Strait, Australia  The Valentich Disappearance. 20-year-old Frederick Valentich is flying his Cessna 182 over Bass Strait in Southern Australia when he observes an unknown craft accompanying him.

Science Fiction Movies


Updated 4.2.2014 There are plenty of scifi-movies made to entertain and shock the audience. Good, even brilliant, films, but nevertheless mainly action and thriller. The following chronological list is of scifi-films that deal with space, UFOs, extraterrestrials, crop circles and the like, and which leave you with a sense of wonder and awe, and pondering what might be. The links take you to the IMDb, and the storylines depicted here are IMDb's own.



2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Humanity finds a mysterious, obviously artificial, object buried beneath the Lunar surface and, with the intelligent computer H.A.L. 9000, sets off on a quest.

Fire in the Sky (1993) An Arizona logger mysteriously disappears for five days in an alleged UFO encounter in 1975.

 

 
 
Signs (2002) A family living on a farm finds mysterious crop circles in their fields which suggests something more frightening to come.
Moon (2009) Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.
Prometheus (2012) A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.


Oblivion (2013) A veteran assigned to extract Earth's remaining resources begins to question what he knows about his mission and himself.
Europa report (2013) An international crew of astronauts undertakes a privately funded mission to search for life on Jupiter's fourth largest moon. - Time, spoiler alert -

Extraterrestrial Languages

Updated 18.1.2014 They do talk, don't they? The aliens. Well, perhaps not in the way we understand talk, but since communication is a forte with any intelligent beings, the aliens most likely do communicate. And of course since there is likely to be several races of them, there are probably many different ways to communicate.

Here follows some of the information concerning alien communication. This page does not deal with alien languages in science fiction, but with actual data derived by chance during space flights which seems to indicate alien element, and also with alien speech heard and/or recorded on Earth. This page will most probably be updated countless times!
 

REPETITION IS A PLUS
One would think that even an extraterrestrial language would have some amount of repeating of letters or characters. So that it something to look at if we find written language. Decoders and translaters may have lots of job opportunities in the future!


CROP CIRCLES
Besides being picturegraphs, there is also what seems text in some of the crop circles. Wouldn't it be fascinating to start deciphering all of the crop circles with anything that resembles text?! Much of the info there is of course mathematical.

THE LANGUAGE OF MATHEMATICS
Communication can be verbal, expressive (body and signs) or telepathical. But also mathetical, binary code type of thing. Crop circles exemplify this, and also the Rendelsham Forest Incident which in 2010 took a new turn as James Penniston handed over his notes for a binary code expert.

Rendelsham Forest symbols & binary codes

There were symbols etched on the craft at Rendelsham Forest. As Sergeant Penniston put his hands on the symbols, everything became a brilliant bright white. He could neither see nor hear.  Next, he received patterns of ones and zeros into his mind.  It was as though a movie of flashing ones and zeros was running in his brain or minds eye.  The following day Penniston felt compelled to write them down in a notebook, and once having done that, the image in his mind disappeared.  He put the notebook away, and just forgot about it.
  
But in 2010, during a casual conversation with a researcher, he mentions the codes and displays the notebook.  The researcher immediately recognizes the ones and zeros as binary code and sets out to help Jim decipher it. This is what the symbols on the craft that landed on Rendelsham Forest in December 1980 appear to say, according to Gary Osborn:
 
EXPLORATION OF HUMANITY 666 8100
52.0942532N 13.131269W
CONTINUOUS FOR PLANETARY ADVAN???
FOURTH COODINATE CONTINU OT UQS CbPR BEFORE
 
The coordinates 52.0942532N 13.131269W point to a submerged mythical island of HY-Brasil off the west coast of Ireland. No matter what this all means, it is clear that a language is not just about letters - which is the norm in human languages - but can, and perhaps preferably, consist of strings of numbers instead. It should also be noted that James Penniston, while undergoing regression hypnosis, claimed that the craft he encountered had come from our future, and was occupied by time travellers, not extraterrestrials. 

HOAXES
There are prankters in every field, and of course if you wanted to play mindgames with people, it would be a piece of cake to invent random characters with some sort of hierarchy, and then present them as an 'alien language'. But that sort of thing would better be employed by the movie industry, wouldn't you think?


AUDIO
What would an extraterrestrial language sound like? Would it -  any of them - even be audible to human ear? We might not even understand that we are actually hearing a language! And of course, if communication is done with the use of telepathy, no audio is needed nor heard - or perhaps only as an auxiliary thing like with deaf humans employing sign language, but also uttering some of what is 'said'.  
 
How a language sounds depends of course greatly on the physical characteristics of the speaker. The height and the shape of mouth and respiratory organs among other things. 

There is an interesting YouTube(3m35s) -video uploaded by user jostvandyke2007! Radio signals captured by NASA's Cassini. NASA's quote on the file: "A most intriguing file, we do not know what to make of it."

In the Dionisio Llanca abduction case in Argentina in 1973,  Llanca said that he heard the three Nordic type beings he saw talk among themselves in a strange language that sounded like 'a badly tuned radio with chirps and buzzes".

There is also a case in Italy from 1954, with some minute detail: 40-year old Rosa Lotti witnesses a landed UFO with two 3-feet tall, and friendly, occupants outside the craft in Cennina, Italy. The beings were "vigorous, lively, and talking away as though they were Chinese. They kept saying: 'liu. lai,' 'loi,' 'lau. 'loi,' 'lai,' 'liu,' Their noses were of normal shape, their mouths just like a man's, but their upper lips were slightly curled in the centre, so that even when they were not laughing their teeth were still exposed. They were teeth like ours, broad, strong teeth, but short (as though they had been filed down) and somewhat protruding, like the teeth of rabbits". - UFO Evidence -

Questionnaire # 1

Updated 19.1.2014 This simple questionnaire produced four answers, all of them editorial (testing from different computers). Question was: How often are you here? Alternatives: first time, seldom, once or twice a month, once a twice a week, almost every day.

I guess this readership is not too keen on questionnaires... One day left, any readers out there willing to contribute? Even though I do know that I'm not alone here, we people do thrive on human interaction, don't we? Blogging is sometimes  like writing for clouds that you naturally never could expect to response. They're just there, everchanging. And sometimes somewhere behind or enveloped by  them fly UFOs - that thought keeps this blogger going, humans or not.    

Dear reader! To your right you see a few possible answers that I would like you to take a few moments to tick off - you can choose one. Starting now the first full year with the blog with some five months behind, it would be kind of interesting to know something about you readers. And if you like the blog, please do spread the word!

PS. You can always reach me at kivita@gmail.com. Any correspondence is always confidential.

Giving credit where credit is due

There are a lot of people all around the world who have contributed to the advancement of  knowledge of the extraterrestrial issue. People like Paul Hellyer who a couple days ago was interviewed by Sophie Shevardnadze at RT (formerly Russia Today). He is talking straight - like Stephen Greer, Stanton Friedman, Edgar Mitchell and many many others -  about things that many people just ridicule, calling spade a spade where many would see a club - against all evidence and logic. It is true that the human eye is fallible - just like our other senses. The picture to the right for example fools many of us to think that it isn't straight - when in fact it is - only the card is not. So we may not believe even when we see, hear, smell, taste or sense - because deep down we know that we might be wrong, and we don't want to subject ourselves to doubt and ridicule - so dismissal is a copout and always an easy choice if and when the majority would think so too. That is why we should give credit where credit is due - to the brave men and women - not in space this time but here on Earth - who dare to question, go forward even at a great personal expense, and pave way for the rest of us. Thank you!
       

This blog wishes all its readers
A Very Interesting and Happy New Year !
