The case of the UFO abductee

THERE ARE SOME cases which illustrate why I am not, and never could be, a practitioner of conventional medicine. Such was the case of the “UFO abductee.”

We were introduced by a mutual friend. “Ronnie” was a middle-aged man who, despite having a master’s degree, felt barely capable to hold down a job as a hospital orderly. He was on psychiatric drugs for anxiety, depression and insomnia—one for each. I took a standard intake. When asked what made his anxiety worse, he paused and said, “I suppose it would be OK to mention here. I am a UFO abductee.” He went on at great length to describe how he had been abducted and how terrible an experience it was. “They treat us just like we treat cattle or something. It is completely violational.” He described a typical scenario in which the aliens stole genetic material by making an incision on the scrotum. His girlfriend was similarly accosted and after the aliens returned to show her the cross-bred baby produced with her genes she committed suicide. They were members of an alien abductee survivor’s support group.

If I’d been tactless, my mouth would have been hanging open for several minutes. My apprentice, sitting in on the case, also held her tongue. Rather than asking additional questions about something I knew only by reputation—and so far, it seemed he was telling a fairly typical UFO abductee story—I simply said, “What do you think would help you?"

“I need to be more grounded,” he replied. Well that made sense. It seemed likely that a grounded person would not be lifted off the ground so easily! This also matched the physical symptoms. He tended to hunch over a little bit, as if protecting the emotional centers in the stomach area. That would be the solar plexus, where we feel a “thump on the belly” when the enteric or animal brain, i.e., the autonomic, is stimulated by deep, instinctual, or emotional reactions. (As I was later to learn, the aliens are entirely counter-instinctual.) There was also the fact that a stomach ulcer was his major physiological complaint. The tongue was red, shrunken, and dry, an indication of mental anguish (heat rising to the head) and poor assimilation. We often see the red tongue in psychiatric cases. In traditional Chinese medicine it is said that the heart (which maintains psychological equilibrium) is overheated, the fire rises, and the mind is agitated. Psychiatric drugs tend to exaggerate the redness of the tongue.

My apprentice knew her stuff, so I asked Julie, “What would you give here?” “Wood betony,” she answered without hesitation. That’s the remedy for lack of groundedness, a feeling of disconnection from the world. It is excellent for older people in their declining years. It is also a remedy that strengthens digestion and assimilation, improving food and water uptake, thus indicated when the tongue is dry and shrunken. I decided to add goldenseal in very small doses, because it is such a good remedy for ulcers.

I tried to make conversation, partly out of interest, but after a while our visitor became agitated. His eyes darted back and forth. “I feel like they might be operating in the area,” he remarked.

Within a month the ulcer was gone and he felt much better emotionally. In three months he got a job teaching at a small Midwestern university in his field of choice. I considered that to be a success—he was finally able to pursue his career after hiatus of several years. I can’t remember if he discontinued the psychiatric drugs. I lost track of him after the move to his new job.

I say it would be impossible for me to be a practitioner of conventional therapy, not only because of the unusual cases I take on, but because of what happened next.

Several months later I was having dinner with the mutual friend that had introduced the two of us. I kept on thinking about those aliens. They were so real to the client. In fact, as dinner proceeded, I got rather obsessed about them and finally I had to excuse myself.

On the way home—I was driving down St. Clair Avenue in St. Paul at about dusk—I had a strange experience. All of a sudden, in my inner eye, a hole opened up in the clouds and my consciousness was brought up through the opening. I heard a chorus of angels singing “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty” as my mind passed upwards. I could see the massive feet of God sitting on a throne. I supposed it was the “throne room of the Third Heaven,” or something. In a clear voice in my inner ear God said, “I have made a covenant with the Earth, that the Earth will not be destroyed.” Great, I thought. I wonder why He’s telling me this right now. “And I’m not relying on the human race to help me.” We think we’re going to solve everything but we are making all the problems! “They are a weak reed to lean on,” He added by way of explanation. Since I was not raised on the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible I was little surprised to hear God speaking like that. Not the kind of thing I would have made up.

A question arose in my mind: “but what’ll happen to the human race?” God turned out not to be like some unfortunate person you could corner at a party and bore with you’re questions. He started to fade off and I couldn’t tell whether it was Him or my own hopeful inner voice that added the answer: “They can come along for the ride if they want too.” It didn’t sound very Biblical in tone, so I was left wondering.

Well, the aliens, it turned out, had an answer. About 2:30 in the morning I was awakened by a presence that, again, I saw in my inner eye. It was one of those big-headed, squinty-eyed little aliens about three and a half feet high. He (or she) stuck a probe in the canthus of my left eye and stated in bold, clipped words: “The earth is dead and therefore we are going to launch an evacuation, to save the people, and we would like you to be one of the leaders, so that people wouldn’t feel so terrified by us.” As a matter of fact, the whole time I felt nothing but complete terror. End of transmission, probe removed, terror gone, alien gone.

The only other time I’ve ever felt total terror was also about 2:30 in the morning. I was awakened by a blood-curdling scream coming up from the swamp behind my house. It sounded like a woman screaming, but no woman would have the lung capacity to scream for that long. The dial in my brain was turned to terror for the entire time, which seemed like about two minutes. The next day I suggested to my neighbor that it was a “chupagabra,” a goat-headed, blood-sucking gargoyle from Mexico. It was about three weeks before I read of mountain lion sightings in my neighborhood.

Well, at any rate, I lay in bed for the rest of the night, rather numbly thinking about what the alien said. But didn’t God say the exact opposite? They say the earth is dead and He says it will not be destroyed. In the morning, still rather dazed, I asked several of my closest friends what they thought. None of them thought very highly of the aliens, who, besides having the exact opposite view of the Lord God Almighty, and striking terror in me from start to finish, were also considerably less capable of punctuating their sentences correctly, compared to the Big Voice.

NASA's Dirty Little Secret : Remarkable UFOs Captured On

The following video footage submitted by Oren Swearingen comes from NASA's public satellite broadcasts. NASA cannot possibly black out everything, and Oren has certainly found this to be true. In fact, it appears that during some very routine maneuvers, UFOs are distinctly visible, and in some cases edited out of the "replays" of the day's events once the live feed has taken place.

Oren captured two such attempts at censorship. One successful, and one a bumbling failure.

Unfortunately, the failure footage cannot be translated to video for the web as the object in question is simply too dim to register under normal video compression methods, which is disappointing. Every attempt was made to render a part of the sequence, but the file size for the video would exceed 50 megs and even then comes nowhere near the clarity of the actual video.

The item in question was footage of the Hubble space telescope being released from repairs during STS-109 of March 2, 2002. As the massive telescope separates from the robot arm holding it in bay, a glimmering, flashing UFO enters the picture from the lower left, apparently some distance beyond the floating telescope. The camera operator clearly spots the twinkling UFO and adjusts the camera upward to remove it from the scene. The UFO then moves across the field of view, re-entering the frame! Again, the camera operator attempts to hide the UFO even shifting the framing of the Hubble completely to one side, but to no avail.... the UFO continues to make a mockery of his obfuscation and passes on the opposite side of the Hubble where it cannot be avoided. Suddenly, the transmission goes completely static and the next scene is a silent Houston control center. No comments, of course.

The rest of the footage submitted fared better in compression. And one in particular will absolutely astound you.

We want to thank Oren for taking the time to not only monitor the NASA transmissions, but to analyze endless hours of footage and commit it to videotape.

Secret World War Two nuclear city open to tours

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (Reuters Life!) - Visiting a nuclear city may be an unusual tourist attraction but the U.S. Department of Energy is finding growing interest in a uranium plant once so secretive it had no address and was not on maps.
From June to September visitors can tour parts of the facility at Oak Ridge in eastern Tennessee which was set up in 1943 and ran 24 hours a day separating uranium 235 from natural uranium.
It was part of the Manhattan Project that eventually produced atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in August 1945.
But during World War Two staff recruited to the community that spread over 59,000 acres, frequently had little idea how their jobs fitted into the larger picture.
"I didn't know what I was doing or why I was doing it. I just knew how to do my job," said Gladys Owens, who operated a uranium enrichment machine.
At the time even the word uranium was rarely used and "tuballoy" was a frequent substitute.
"I was recruited straight from college as a junior chemist. I was greeted by a man in a three-piece suit who told us we would be working with uranium and that would be the last time we would hear or speak that word," said Bill Wilcox, 84.
U.S. citizens can now get a look at parts of the original facility. Oak Ridge was the world's first fully operational nuclear reactor.
The 2.5 hour tour for 24 visitors, which runs once a day, is restricted to American citizens. The Department of Energy runs a nuclear and high-tech research establishment at the site and performs national security work.

The tours have proven so popular they are constantly booked and there is a waiting list for seats. Tourists from 46 states have visited the site. Visitors travel across the site to learn about the past and present missions of the facilities.

SHELTERED LAND
The Oak Ridge area was chosen for its sheltered land, plentiful water and power supply and ready workforce, according to Dick Raridon, a retired Oak Ridge scientist and a volunteer at the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge.
The 1,000 residents originally farming there were given up to 30 days to evacuate families, animals and equipment. When building work began, houses sprang up every 30 minutes.
The average age of workers was 27. Marriages were common in the enclosed city that offered dances on tennis courts, a high school with a football team that played only away games and a church that hosted every denomination, Wilcox said.
Employees learned not to ask "what do you do?" and many did not even know there were three plants at the site.
Scientists had to experiment with different techniques to find the most efficient method of separating uranium 235. "Plant K25" used a gaseous process, while in "X10," laborers loaded chunks of natural uranium into a wall with holes leading to processing tubes.
From this plant came the uranium that fueled "Little Boy," the bomb that devastated Hiroshima, according to Judd Brown, exhibits manager at the museum in Oak Ridge.
Asked if he regretted his part in building the first nuclear bomb to have been used Wilcox said there were many bombing deaths on both sides.
"Our success was driving the (Japanese) emperor and his warlords to their knees. We helped end the most terrible war in history," he said.

Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA

Steve Coll's book, "Ghost Wars", is a challenging read, but like any challenge, success brings rewards. In this case, the reader gets a detailed account of the CIA's relationship with Afghanistan, Pakistan, and every other country and organization with links to bin Laden during the twenty years before September 11, 2001. And since the book is essentially a history of recent military, political, and religious events in Afghanistan, it's an interesting background to what we'll witness this year as that country attempts to hold its first democratic election in decades.
The book is fairly dry. It reads more like a military history - dates, names, and terse descriptions of actions - than some other books that have come out on the subject recently. But if you make it through, you'll know all you ever wanted to know about the rise of petro-dollar Islam, our country's on-again-off-again relationship with Pakistan, bin Laden's relationship with the Saudi royal family and Saudi intelligence, the significance of the Unocal pipeline in Afghanistan, why Clinton bombed an aspirin factory in Sudan, the truth about the alleged Sudanese offer to hand over bin Laden to the US, why it's been so difficult, politically and tactically, to capture or assassinate bin Laden, and so much more.
Starting with President Carter's secret war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, Coll presents a comprehensive account of the CIA's relationship with that ill-fated country and its most infamous denizen, Osama bin Laden. Like Saddam Hussein, bin Laden was at first encouraged by the United States as a Cold War client, even to the extent of being allowed to open a jihadist recruiting office in Tucson, Arizona in 1986. The turning point in the relationship came in 1990 when bin Laden offered his veteran Afghanistan fighters to the Saudi government to drive Saddam out of Kuwait. He was rebuffed in favor of the US military.
This is also the account of a small number of CIA and government officials attempting to get the American government's bureaucratic juggernaut to acknowledge terrorism as a serious threat. Other than to pull the US Marines out of Lebanon after the 1983 Beirut bombing (thus handing terrorists their first major victory), Reagan did nothing to combat terrorism, and GHW Bush failed to retaliate for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103. It took the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, less than a month after Clinton took office, before our government started to take the threat seriously.
The book ends with the 9/11 attacks on the United States and the assassination of Ahmed Shah Massoud in Afghanistan, the man who was the sole counter to complete Taliban domination of that country. A plan to eliminate bin Laden languishes, unread, on President Bush's desk as he vacations in Texas, and Hamid Karzai laments, "What an unlucky country." Afghanistan? George W. Bush's USA? Take your pick.

The Top-Secret Warplanes of Area 51

On a trip to las vegas in 2004, observing from my east-facing hotel room in the pyramidal Luxor Hotel at daybreak, I watched a fleet of six unmarked 737s make commuter flights to nowhere. These aircraft depart every weekday morning from a tidy, anonymous terminal on the western side of McCarran International Airport. A long line of cars pours into a 1,600-spot parking lot as the jets pull away from the terminal, taxi to the runways, and head out into the desert sky. At the end of the day, the shuttle flights return and the lot empties. The passengers go home and tell their families nothing about what happened at work that day.

Cut to April 4 this year. San Diego is hit by a rumbling shock that isn’t an earthquake. It is ruled out by the media as a sonic boom after military operators claim it is not one of their aircraft. San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Alex Roth does some digging and comes up with six puzzlingly similar incidents around the country since 2003.

Fast-forward to July, at the Farnborough International Airshow in southeastern England. Frank Cappuccio, the avuncular vice president of Lockheed Martin’s secretive Skunk Works division, opens a press conference by introducing what he calls a promotional video, “something to show the kids and families about what we do.” Two minutes into the show, a gray, cockpit-less airplane that nobody has seen before—it looks like a B-2 bomber’s chick—soars over a backdrop of stony, barren hills and mountains.

All these events are linked. They are the visible signs of an invisible, parallel world within the universe of aerospace and defense: the classified, or “black,” world of secret military programs. Those unmarked 737s were ferrying employees to the flight-test center near Groom Lake, Nevada, known to the public as Area 51. The gray airplane is Polecat, a next-generation stealth unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)—Cappuccio’s video was his sly way of unveiling the program. Those earthquakes? Quite possibly sonic booms from a long-suspected hypersonic attack vehicle, a sleek aircraft that has consumed the imaginations of black-project enthusiasts and military analysts, including me, for two decades. Though seemingly dormant in recent years, the program appears to be on the move again, and with a renewed vigor that has me feeling, somewhat unsettlingly, a bit like the aerospace industry’s own Ahab.

X Files Opened: The National Security Agency's UFO Investigations Unearthed

There is one question that persistently circles the community of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) true-believers: If the government has nothing to hide, UFO fans often ask, then why is it keeping so many UFO records under lock and key?
"Well, it turns out that the government does have something to hide, but it has nothing to do with extraterrestrials," said Steven Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, D.C.
A document has surfaced that had been stamped "Top Secret Umbra"--the codeword for the highest, most sensitive category of communications intelligence.
The once-classified affidavit was originally filed by the National Security Agency (NSA) in a 1980 lawsuit to justify the withholding of records on UFOs. The document is largely declassified--with certain sections cut out, ostensibly to protect employee names, and keep NSA technologies, skills, and foreign connections out of the limelight.
The document--In Camera Affidavit of Eugene F. Yeates: Citizens Against UFO Secrecy v. National Security Agency, October 9, 1980--was released in redacted form on November 3 in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from researcher Michael Ravnitzky and posted on the website of the Federation of American Scientists.

Foreign signals
A read of the document yields insight into how a super-secret agency like the NSA became caught up in the UFO phenomenon.
Created in November 1952, The National Security Agency/Central Security Service is America's cryptologic organization. It coordinates, directs, and performs highly specialized activities to protect U.S. government information systems and churns out foreign signals intelligence information.
Being a high-tech organization, the NSA is a cutting-edge home for communications and data processing. It is also a center for foreign language analysis and research within the government.
The just-released 1980 document explains that a total of 239 documents related to UFOs were located in NSA files, with 79 of those documents originating with other government agencies. One document is an account by an NSA official attending a UFO symposium. A healthy chunk of these reports were produced between 1958 and 1979.

Deceptive data
The titles of NSA-related UFO documents that are noted in the declassified document are intriguing, such as UFO Hypothesis and Survival Questions.

Another title cited is UFO's and the Intelligence Community Blind Spot to Surprise or Deceptive Data. In this seven-page, undated, unofficial draft of a monograph authored by an unnamed NSA employee, the author reportedly points out what he considers to be "a serious shortcoming" in the NSA's communications intelligence (COMINT) interception and reporting procedures. That is, "the inability to respond correctly to surprising information or deliberately deceptive data."
The unidentified author uses the UFO phenomenon to illustrate his belief that the inability of the U.S. intelligence community to process this type of unusual data adversely affects U.S. intelligence gathering capabilities.
Within the pages of the newly-released affidavit--and between sections of excised copy--it shows NSA intercepted in 1971 communications between two aircraft and a ground controller discussing a "phenomena" in the sky, as well as radar screen observations, labeling what was viewed as "unidentifiable" objects.
Other intercepted and decrypted reports of bright lights, luminous objects, and unidentified aircraft--along with an elongated ball of fire--scooting through the skies over non-U.S. countries are noted too.

Intercept operations
The 21-page affidavit makes clear that release of documents for public scrutiny, for a variety of reasons, "would seriously damage the ability of the United States to gather this vital intelligence information."
Furthermore, how the NSA works with a network of foreign sources, organizations, and other governments to secure intelligence data would be adversely affected.
The majority of these records, explained NSA official Eugene F. Yeates in the 1980 affidavit, were communications intelligence reports that "are the product of intercept operations directed against foreign government controlled communications systems within their territorial boundaries."

New insight
According to Aftergood, the newly declassified Yeates affidavit provides new insight into the types of records sought by UFO researchers that have been withheld by NSA.
"Even with all of the deletions, one can get a sense of the enormous scale--and the apparent success--of the worldwide electronic intercept operations conducted by NSA at the height of the Cold War," Aftergood told SPACE.com.
"Unfortunately it is not clear from the affidavit how the withheld documents might have related to UFOs," Aftergood said. "There must have been some connection in order for them to be within the scope of the original FOIA request...but I have no idea what it was."
But for those hungry to show a great government conspiracy is at work and that alien-driven UFOs routinely cruise through our skies, the just brought to light document won't help you.
"The affidavit does not discount the UFO phenomenon...it simply doesn't address it one way or the other," Aftergood concluded.

UFO over Riga By Paul Stonehill

Few rumors about this incident had circulated in the USSR. I was aware of some, but until 1996 did not have the complete story.
In August of 1961, a test flight of the most modernt Soviet fighter-interceptor jet was to take place. The top brass wanted to film everything, so as to demonstrate the might of Soviet Air Force. A film crew, headed by Victor Dudinsh, was commissioned for that purpose. They set up their equipment in the vicinity of the airplane, next to the take-off and landing strip. Over one hundred military officers had been waiting to see the air show. But nothing happened. The jet was fine the day before, but now the pilot could not start the engine. At the same time a sinister sound pierced through the air, and a strange object appeared in the sky.
It appeared from nowhere, and everyone was able to see it at once. They started running in every direction. Fear gripped everyone, and panic ensued. Dudinsh, a real professional, fought this fear to film the occurrence. He aimed the camera at the object in the sky, pushed the start button, and ran to the shelter. The object did not descend, but rather moved in a strange fashion. It would disappear, and reappear, but slightly further from its original position. This went on for a few minutes, and then something else took place. An entity inside the UFO moved around intensively. The object was illuminated by sun, blue sky in the background, i.e., the visibility was fine. Its shape was that of a triangle, its color violet. A few minutes later and the UFO suddenly dimmed. It remained in the sky, but became somewhat invisible. As its brightness disappeared, so did the fear.
The military crawled out from various holes and shelters, and discussed the event. Not one doubted the ET nature of the object. Dudinsh ran back to his camera, and saw that it was working, but the film was already spent. He wanted to take it back to the studio, but the airfield commander confiscated it. The KGB arrived some time later, and took the film away. Dudinsh, however, convinced the airfield commander to take witness statements from the hundreds of eyewitnesses. Most signed it with trepidation. The pilot was the first to sign; he also mentioned that it was probably the UFO that caused the strange behavior of on-board equipment, and the dead engine of his jet. Dudinsh and his colleagues did find out some time later that the UFO was filmed. Those who witnessed the object had been warned to forget everything and keep silent. Somehow the information about this UFO leaked to the West, and letters of inquiry followed. So did offers to buy the film. To diffuse the situation, the Soviet media published a report that the object sighted that night was a meteorological probe. For many long years no further information came from the KGB archives. I tried to get more details, but all my contacts could find out nothing.
S. Boyev pursued this case, too. He published his account in the NLO magazine (Issue# 13, 1996). The perestroika was in the air, and Boyev was able to get permission to see the film. He was preparing materials for his documentary about UFOs over the USSR. The KGB, damaged by glastnost and changes sweeping the USSR, relented and released everything. Famous Soviet proponent of UFO phenomenon, a scientist from the Academy of Sciences, V.S. Troitsky, assisted Boyev. Still, even then the authorities did not recommend them to disseminate the information. The first public showing of the film took place in somewhat strange circumstances. The giant hall of the Institute of High Temperatures was filled by hundreds of UFO debunkers. Exactly at midnight the light was turned off, and the crowd breathlessly watched a UFO over the airfield. The film lasted thirty seconds. The next three minutes the audience sat silently, and then discussions literally exploded, and lasted until the morning. Everyone had a UFO story of his own, and everyone there was tired and disgusted by the silence about UFO phenomenon under the Soviet regime. Experts were questioned, and they confirmed: the UFO has nothing to do with weather balloons, probes, or space junk. The object was classified as a cosmic voyager, a phenomenon of extraterrestrial origin, unknown to science. The psychosis-horrible fear- experienced by eyewitnesses was probably caused by powerful and directed infrasonic radiation. Other measurements based on the film and interviews indicated that the object hovered at an altitude of 20 kilometers, and its "base" was more that 200 meters.
The 1961 Riga UFO left a trace in the history of Soviet UFO phenomena, a trace that the KGB could not hide. But not everyone agrees that the object was a UFO. Well-known Soviet debunker and scientist, Mr. Migulin, described it as a weather balloon. This opinion is shared by a respected Russian ufologist Mikhail Gershtein. Hopefully, we will be able to examine the film closely, and find more eyewitnesses who were in Riga in 1961.

To those of you interested in the current UFO research, remember the names of present-day Russian and Ukrainian ufologists who doggedly pursue the study of the phenomenon, in spite of the great difficulties experienced by their countries. I have nothing but respect for people like Aleksandr Rempel, Yuri Smirnov, Nikolay Subbotin, Gherman Kolchin, Mikhail Gershtein, Vadim Chernobrov, Dr. Rubtsov, and others like them. I hope that I and Philip Mantle will be able to tell you about them and their research in our new book. And if any of you are truly interested in Russian/CIS ufology, let the information I have provided here be your first step on a road of discovery.
