=== 6. UFO Projects & Theories & Controversies
There are many theories of UFO origins. These include that UFOs (and
associated aliens) are some form of advanced technology, perhaps
extraterrestrial; that UFOs might be time travellers; that UFOs might
be some form of new natural phenomenon; and the UFOs might be some
form of psychic phenomenon.
In common with other cases where there are more than two theories to
explain an event, nobody really knows what the true explanation is.
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 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:US Government Offical Studies
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 :-
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.
In 1966 the USAF commisioned a report on UFOs from the University of
Colorado. This project was headed by Dr Edward Condon. Condon was a
well respected physicist who gather a panel of experts from a variety
of fields to assist him. They reported in 1969, the report being
referred to as the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects,
also known as the Condon Report. They 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.
As a result the USAF closed down Project Bluebook. Although it has
been suggested on many occasions that some members of the panel had
deceided the conclusions of the study before the work started there is
evidence that at least Condon took the task seriously. He appears to
have joined a number of different civilian UFO research groups,
including the British UFO Research Association, around the world.

6.05: Roswell Crash Incident
On the night of 2nd July 1947, Mac Brazel a rancher from near Corona,
New Mexico heard a loud crash. The next day he went out Horseback
riding with a neighbour 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 than paper
could not be broken in half, cut or burnt.
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 site two
and 1/2 miles southeast of the first. Barney Barnett and 4
archaeologists had stumbled onto the new site a few minutes before
the military had arrived there. At the site they found a "pretty good
sized metallic dull gray object" and 4 small alien bodies. They were 4
to 5 feet tall, with large pear 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.
The case has been extensively researched by Stanton Friedman and
independantly by the team of Kevin Randle and Don Schmitt. Between
them they have discovered around 200 witnesses who claim to have been
involved in the recovery or subsequent handling of the Roswell
material. Researcher John Keel has suggested that the Roswell
material might be the remains of a Japanesse Feugo balloon, a
balloon with a bomb attached launched towards the USA during World War
II. These were still being discovered in remote parts of the USA in
the late 1940s.
In 1994 at the request of US Senator Steven Schiff the General Audit
Office started an enquiry into the incident and subsequent cover-up.
The GAO required the US Air Force to reopen the enquiry. After a nine
month study the Air Force announced that the Roswell object had not
been a weather balloon but a balloon involved in a top secret project
to study Soviet missile launches. Many UFO investigators remain
unconvinced by this explanation.

"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.

10.00: alt.alien.visitors archives (back issues)
Occasionally I have seen requests for information on past articles in
alt.alien.visitors. If you desire something, I have the entire
newsgroup archive back to July 13, 1992. I access it frequently. I
have no way to ftp it to another system for public access but would be
glad to email portions of it upon request. The responses are not
guaranteed to be correct or complete.
You can email me at gvb@acd4.acd.com and I will do my best.

10.01: A UFO Book List
I'd like to take this opportunity to remind people of my UFO
bibliography file, and to solicit contributions and book comments for
it. The file can be ftp'd from paul.rutgers.edu, directory pub/ufo,
file bibliography.Z (compressed format). The file is organized by
author, and also again by date-of-publication, and also includes Keith
Rowell's excellent bibliography file (which is also worked into the
above two parts). Many titles have comments from various people as to
the value of the book; I would like any comments on any of the books
from anyone, and also additional books for inclusion. Check out the
UFO Bibliography that you can ftp at:
paul.rutgers.edu
The file is pub/UFO/bibliography.Z It has books by author, a second
listing by date, and also the names of prominent authors in the
field.

10.08: UFO Related anonymous FTP Sites
[Also See: 10.00: A Complete UFO Book List]
Phoenix UFO Pics
phoenix.oulu.fi (130.231.240.17)
In /pub/ufo_and_space_pics
NASA Pics Sites
NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous;
I'd strongly suggest just getting the CD-ROMs instead of attempting
to transfer scores of gigabytes of pix and other material.
To access the online catalog of NASA material, CD-ROMS, et cetera:
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.
iris1.ucis.dal.ca
dunno; it appears to be down today (Saturday, 18-July-1992).
