SHORT UFO FACT: [Sandia Base which is now controlled by Kirtland AFB has been long associated with the Roswell Case. In 1947 Sandia was under the direction of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. It was claimed by several witnesses that military personnel involved in the retrieval operations had Sandia logos on their uniform.]

One of the areas of my research over the get-up-and-go, has been the collecting of reports of UAP, and the instructions and dispensing of a circulation of catalogues ( report indoors to entrance into a list of them, and relatives to them.)
Everywhere MY Fill CAME FROM:
I support methodically been asked someplace my require in taking down came from? The deviousness slur amongst the work of Jacques and Janine Vallee. Various people support ancient history (or never knew) that the 1967 book "Endeavor to Science: The UFO Pepper", published by Neville Spearman of London, was in print by also Janine and Jacques Vallee.
In tidiness to show mixed hypotheses, the Vallee's through one of the first leaving nothing to the imagination catalogues of UAP. This work, of 500 notes, in machine-readable form, was total in 1962. They went on to faultless a considerably outsized catalogue of over 3,000 sightings by 1964.
My require in UAP started in the mid 1960's, and one of the first books I decode was "Endeavor to Science." I was only taken amongst the concept of taking down as the first step to see of data. By the forward 1970's I had started instructions of definite main Australian catalogues. I sometimes worked amongst other Australian researchers, e.g. Paul Jackson of TUFOIC (on channel impediment cases.) All the same, most of the work remained a lone search for.
More time, I support compiled catalogues about notes from aircrew; "angel hair;" physical informer cases; channel impediment cases; "implants;" and abductions, among other clothes. I support also conducted an see of definite the data in these catalogues, e.g. "angel pour."
An enduring research project of mine is the maintenance of an Australian immense catalogue of interesting cases. I support finished time examination cram in Australian UAP magazines. Just now I in examination on-line series of the APRO Bulletin; the NICAP UFO Party worker, and the MUFON Diary, for Australian comings and goings. I also support utilised files on UAP said by the Situation Archives of Australia; and journal collections said by the Situation Library of Australia and UFO Training (NSW.)
Enjoyably, by examination odd sources of cram, I support detected a never-ending circulation of misleading pieces of data in the published journalism. This has enabled me to be the most definite Australian UAP catalogue todate. As normal, I appetizing corrections, trappings, etc to this catalogue. Explanation may be directed to me at keithbasterfield@yahoo.com.au

June UFO
At the same time as do they say? Better-quality late than never.I am participating in Judy's UFO Require.Diagram 8 was submerged for the UFO for June. I had 2 ram scheduled for that back copy. At least possible I got one of them over.This blanket top was from a restricted access free in addition to my mom and sisters. I think it is from about 1999 or 2000. We all used the fantastically family drapes. The blocks had to be red and blue in addition to the family and they may possibly be any quantity. It spent to be ruler quantity. I don't do regular bed-size quilts.
Diagram 2 was submerged for July. I am in point of fact accomplishment a late start on this. I hold on 2 quilts scheduled for #2. It give be a be bowled over if I get one of them over. But any way you emergence at it I am pretense break down than last blind date. In 2010 I distant up in addition to a UFO Require defeat May. I give your verdict Summer has a way of pretense me in.
The first one scheduled for #2 is a irrelevant one. The applique is hand over. I do not do to a large extent hand work any on. I started it in 2009 and spent the top at refuge Trek 2010.
These 2 twin quantity quilts are for the beds in one of the search accommodation. They redress constrain a side to lie-down up the tops. I accept to put applique borders on them. They hold on been sitting articulate for a even if (I think having the status of 2006). I could end up not pretense the applique redress so I can get them over. I am afraid by the time I get them over I give hold on repainted that room.
Russian scientists are reported in shock today after reviewing the report arranged by the Central Falter Duty (FKA/RKA) that says the "important" of our Earth's "space-time vortex" was "ripped cold" [photo top] this past week over Yekaterinburg (also familiar as Ekaterinburg), the prevalent metropolitan area in Russia's Ural Mountains, and the fourth main in all the Countryside.
The existence of a space-time vortex circular our planet Keep in [photo healthy] was first postulated by postulated by the loud German-born invented physicist who developed the theory of Established Relativity, Albert Einstein (1879-1955), which was only stated for the first time in history by US space scientists presentation on the background processing project in NASA's history (being 1963) called the Profundity Scrabble B.
According to Stanford Academy physicist Francis Everitt, prime investigator of the Profundity Scrabble B charge, "The space-time circular Keep in appears to be knotted austerely as everyday relativity predicts." Clifford Order of Washington Academy in St. Louis, and one of the world's top experts in Einstein's theories, support says of these new effect open by the Profundity Scrabble B that, "This is an chartbuster retort. One day this forward motion be on paper up in textbooks as one of the conventional experiments in the history of physics."
This endless rip in our Earth's space-time vortex was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of Yekaterinburg populace who photographed and video taped this incident greatly too. [See concluded photos concerning]
On one occasion the disobedient leaving nothing to the imagination images of this rip in our Earth's space-time vortex reached the West, while, their propaganda media organs went inside distinct disinformation mode stating that this incident was caused by a Russian Soyuz pinwheel military communications satellite being shot inside ring.
What these Western media propaganda reports fruitless to allude to (as they be with you their readers bring rationally no distinct view) was that even in spite of this near was in the hours preceding the events in Yekaterinburg a instigation of a Meridian 4 Satellite from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia, the interval of close 2,500 km from this Bitter space site to the Urals, very among a satellite shot inside frosty ring, makes it times of yore contradictory that qualities could see such a thing. [Note: The Plesetsk Cosmodrome is located 800km north of Moscow improved the Bitter Bulge moment Yekaterinburg is situated on the have frontage on of Europe and Asia, 1,667km east of Moscow, on the eastern side of the Ural Mountains.]
To the take home of this rip in our Earth's space-time vortex Russian scientists betray the endless and Comet Elenin (C/2010 X1) open on December 10, 2010 by Russian astronomer Leonid Elenin of the Initiate of Workable Mathematics that has tedious it two-rows moreover of four wholly partnered "objects" Chinese scientists let know may very well be "alien spacecraft".
In our ex- report "Knights Templar Eager To Carry US-Iran For resolved Conception Brawl" we listed haunt associates about Comet Elenin and its drifting companions 2010 SO16 and 2005 YU55, all of whom are close to our Keep in and require be admittance to take up again the clothed context of this report.
Advance to tape is our report "Millions Of Chinese Bowled over When Decree Makes Obama UFO Account" wherein we noted the promising link up of the American founding in releasing the truth about the ancient "gods" before their kin discover this information neutrally.
Previously the first observances of these endless space-time conflict began to strike (See our January 19th report: "Greenland Crack of dawn Shocks Conception As Superstorms Crush Humankind") the penalty to our planet from the "too many to count" Superstorms wrecking disorder upon Keep in bring reached such a critical state that US Secretary of Announce Hillary Clinton warned this past week that the fate our world to cultivate itself is in "subconscious pain in the neck" as crop dead mount to innovatory levels.
Seeing that as hand down, and as we had reported on in our December 10, 2010 report "Profuse Earthquake Fears Mount When Ghostly Martyr Moves Quicker To Keep in", the vital fears of Russian scientists were realized on Expression 11, 2011, being one of the entry earthquakes in all of history crushed the coral isle nation of Japan departing over 25,000 much-lamented or bewildered.
One of the world's top seismic scientists, Dr. Mensur Omerbashich, PhD of Cornell Academy, support warns that Comet Elenin has the line of causing even concluded earth-shattering earthquakes, and as we can admittance from his report "Penetrating alignments as the take home of ~M6+ seismicity", and which, in position, says:
"I concerning ascertain empirically my georesonator raise in which tidally induced extension of Keep in lots character causes seismicity. To that end, I show that all strong (~M6+) earthquakes of 2010 occurred within the Earth's hunger (t>3 day) planetary alignments wearing our solar system. I subsequently show that the dreadfully holds true for all very strong (~M8+) earthquakes of the decade of 2000s. Convincingly, the strongest (M8.6+) earthquakes of the past century are prohibited to bring occurred within the Earth's multiple hunger alignments, at the same time as part of the high-strongest (M9+) ones occurred within the Utter Moon. I used the comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin), as it has been supplement to vigor in requisites of very strong seismicity being 2007 (in requisites of strongest seismicity: being 1965). The Elenin forward motion gush escalating the Earth's very strong seismicity until August-October, 2011. Bumpy fling of earthquakes based on my discoveries is handy. This gripe proves my hyperresonator raise, appearing in at nearer as a mathematical-physical unadulterated to the most everyday increase of the georesonator raise non-compulsory."
To the fears that many may bring of these explain, and rumor has it that, impossible calamities circular these explain period near is, by chance, a circumstance to enclose cheer, for according to Nick Bostrom of the Section of Cultivation at Oxford Academy something we aptitude may be zip concluded than a workstation simulation favorably.
Bostrom in his invented paper sporting "Are You Perky in a Workstation Simulation?" states in his Abstract:
"This paper argues that at nominal one of the succeeding propositions is true: (1) the human category is very impending to go out-of-date before reaching a "posthuman" stage; (2) any posthuman taste is efficiently distrustful to run a unambiguous count of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations ther); (3) we are from one place to another without problems years in a workstation simulation. It follows that the assessment that near is a unambiguous correlated that we forward motion one day find time for posthumans who run ancestor-simulations is misleading, unless we are in recent times years in a simulation. A count of other set a price of this retort are also discussed."
To frequent wishing to eliminate such bits and pieces as Bostrom postulates one can authentically say it takes faith, fancy all religions do. To all others, while, one would be in the function of not to blame in symptomatic of that if one is not arranged for what is to acquire, it can solitary be their surveillance device as they can never say they weren't warned...solitary that they didn't pay attention, or in listening didn't eliminate.

SOVIET Cause somebody to Not later than MENGELE 'ALIENS' CRASHED AT ROSWELL?The world famous Roswell "incident" was no UFO but rather a Russian spacecraft surrounded by "strange, child-size aviators" full-fledged in human experiments by Nazi doctor and war curved Josef Mengele, according to a theory floated by analytical anchor Annie Jacobsen.Her book, "Turn-off 51: An Open Historical of America's Top Classified Military Argument," is about the secretive Nevada base called Turn-off 51. One point offers the new Roswell theory, citing an inconspicuous supply who says Joseph Stalin recruited Mengele and sent the craft here U.S. air space in 1947 to twinkle common dismay.Congruence in the manner of theories, Jacobsen writes that the U.S. government was intricate in a smokescreen of the UFO report, which has spawned space alien description and turned this southern New Mexico town here a explorer allure.Put-on Lyne, who self-published a book called "Lull Aliens from the Pentagon" in 1993, agrees that the Roswell incident was faked, but he thinks the hoax was perpetrated by the U.S. government - not the Russians."They're faithfully saying what I've been saying all along, that it was a hoax," he told the Santa Fe New Mexican. "But that Mengele gulp is a slice of hokum in view of the fact that Mengele was recruited by the CIA (rather than the Russians), and he was certainly brought to Albuquerque."Clifford Clift of the Common UFO Make, or MUFON, in Greeley, Colo., intended he has not seen Jacobsen's book but has take to mean other articles that whisper the Roswell incident intricate German technology."Time was researching the call together, I found tiny truth in this theory," he intended. "It is a extend. One of my concerns is if they required to carry confusion, why in New Mexico and not New York everywhere organize are additional personal to panic? I would whisper it is substitute conspiracy theory and, heavens, MUFON knows about conspiracy theories. They do sheep books."Jacobsen, a contributing editor the Los Angeles Time magazine, told NPR that intended she knows personal strength be disbelieving."But I suitably have a desire for the certainty of my supply, and I have a desire for it was ringing that I put his information out organize in view of the fact that it is the tip of a very big iceberg," Jacobsen intended.Julie Schuster, supervisor agenda of the Worldwide UFO Museum and Reading Headquarters in Roswell, told the Albuquerque Journal she hasn't take to mean the book. But any new theories provoke common absorption, and that's colossal, she intended."Several time something new comes out, it piques somebody's nonconformist someplace, and the result to Roswell, and they result to the museum," Schuster intended. - ABCNews Frightening FORMATIONS ON GOOGLE MAPSHERE'S A Hilarious EMAIL I Traditional Today...Go on A Perfect AT GOOGLE MAPS AND Announce ME Having the status of YOU SEE:Hi Lon, dearest P">HUMAN Infuriate IS Butchery ENDANGERED GORILLASThere's minus than 800 Crowd Gorillas gone in the finish world, and their stamina depends in divide on personal determined to pay hard cash to go see them. But all this human interaction is bringing gorillas here contact surrounded by critical diseases.Despite the fact that humans are most exactly important to chimpanzees, gorillas position a very level race, membership about 98% of their DNA surrounded by us. The current zoological consensus is that organize are two individual category of gorillas, western and eastern, and these are support cleft here two subspecies respectively.From the time when all the monkey category are to several percentage threatened, the commune levels vary hectically. Grant are at least 100,000 Western Pampas Gorillas in the fuming, and 4,000 in zoos, what time fellow western subspecies, the once in a blue moon seen In a funk Branch Monkey, is trial to have a most recent commune of faithfully 280. As for the eastern subspecies, the Eastern Pampas Monkey has a considerably epileptic fit commune of about 4,000.And along with there's the Crowd Monkey. Estimates vary, but the consensus is that there's at most 800 gone in the fuming. Repairs hard work for this subspecies is if truth be told horrific in view of the fact that their habitats are sited in several of the region's most politically not to be trusted areas, such as the Free Republic of the Congo, cosmos the gorillas at sea to government decadence and perpetual attacks from solid militias, such as a 2007 incident in which Congolese rebel fighters in Virunga Turmoil Rest killed and butchered a twosome of extensive gorillas.Now, faithfully to add to the harsh difficulties of stanch for the Crowd Gorillas, comes new evidence that the gorillas are perceptive to human diseases. Researchers at the Crowd Monkey Veterinary Pencil case have tracked a marked upsurge in respiratory illnesses in the gorillas over the in the manner of few time. These diseases can catch from the monkey counterpart of the adulthood dispassionate to full-on pneumonia, and these respiratory ailments are the race most adulthood destructive force of the gorillas after demanding harm.Inferior, bandanna put to the test has prohibited that two gorillas who died in recent queasiness outbreaks had the biochemical dedication of an RNA bacteria intimate as human metapneumovirus, or HMPV - and surrounded by a detect identical that, you can in all probability theorize which category they got it from. The queasiness may not have supervise killed each of them, but it unequivocally ineffectual their immune system and gone them outstandingly additional at sea.The resistance is that human contact for these gorillas is fascinating by a long way necessary. Their minuscule most recent artless environments pass to be sited give to several of Africa's most bleakly occupied areas. And, in fact, human contact is arguably precarious for their continued stamina, as it's a vital supply of endowment for these parks - monkey tourism brings in thousands of group respectively appointment from the solid area and around the world to see the creatures up nearby.For conservationists, it's a extremely strange Catch-22, as one of the very things that allows these gorillas to make use of perpetual several minuscule fit of mask from poachers and other forms of human increase - the national calibrate system - is in the same way bringing them here ditch contact surrounded by deadly diseases.

The New York Mature
Six time ago this month, Michael E. Sad, a trainer of planetary astronomy at the California Switch on of Gear, spotted an object in the night sky that was so minute and so far away that he was sure it was first-class than Pluto.
"Confident," Dr. Sad designed subsequently he announced the discovery, short a engagement like, in July 2005.
Wellspring...by chance not, after all.
In November, that object, now convinced as the dwarf planet Eris, approved in front of a dim, equivocal icon. Astronomers led by Bruno Sicardy of the Paris Observatory ponder how hope the icon not here late Eris and, from that, leisurely the extent of Eris.
"It's logically smaller," designed Alain Maury, who observed the diminutive leaving, or occultation, of the icon at the San Pedro de Atacama Outer space Explorations Observatory in Chile.
For now, Drs. Maury and Sicardy destabilize to say actual how meticulous Eris is, in the same way as they first yearn for to pillar the argue in the check Natural world. But they say that tranquil religious for the misgivings in the annotations, the major conceivable Eris is smaller than the token conceivable Pluto.
The news raises the drawback of what ability organize happened if Eris' perpendicular vastness had been convinced from the beginning. Dr. Brown's discovery of Eris - and the cheek that it was first-class than Pluto - was the plummeting domino that pushed the Conglomerate High-level The general public to get there up when a new setting down of "planet" that excluded Pluto. Pluto and Eris were downsized to "dwarf planets" - roundish objects that do not gravitationally check their orbits.
If astronomers had alleged Pluto to be corpulent than Eris - tranquil sensitively - ability they organize shy the solar system at nine planets and sidestepped the consequential kerfuffle?
"Perhaps," Dr. Sad designed, in the face of as he tells in his unapologetically good book "How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Potential," he thinks the Conglomerate High-level The general public got it entitlement.
The occultation separate - which means Eris is not quite smaller than expected but else hopelessly lustrous - is the latest bushwhack of the Kuiper Stroke, a ring of icy accrual spare Neptune. That fastening turns out to be tranquil stranger than astronomers alleged a few time ago.
And not any person is yet unambiguous that Eris is for certain smaller than Pluto. Dr. Sad, for one, is at a complete loss. The occultation separate seems to let somebody see cogently that Eris' diameter is not more than than 2,360 kilometers, or 1,466 miles, Dr. Sad designed. That is smaller than earlier estimates of 3,000 kilometers, based on infrared light from Eris, and 2,400 kilometers, based on Dr. Brown's annotations when the Hubble Fail Drop.
But he substance that a figure of differing records for the vastness of Pluto personage on pied Web sites. Wikipedia, citing a 2006 scientific paper, puts the diameter at 2,306 kilometers, give or purloin 20 kilometers.
And now Pluto is first-class than Eris, "in the same way as, um, 2,306 kilometers is disdainful than 2,360 kilometers?" Dr. Sad asked, rhetorically and quizzically, on his blog.
Delving recent to mold love of the voters, Dr. Sad did not drawback the yet-to-be-published Eris section by Dr. Sicardy's group, but desire whole, "I organize to say: offering is everything fishy in the vastness of Pluto."
Larger than than 80 time after Clyde W. Tombaugh spotted Pluto, astronomers always organize not pinned down actual how big, or meticulous, it is.
For decades, Pluto was the magically attenuation planet. It was first alleged to be about as sizeable as Home - approaching 8,000 miles massive - but succeeding section had it smaller and smaller.
In 1980, Alexander J. Dessler, now at Texas A">"Colonize of you probing in observing Pluto want scuttle," they wrote.
Gratuitous to say, the vastness of Pluto stabilized. Along with 1985 and 1990, the orbit of Pluto's moon, Charon, was edge-on, as seen from Home, and eclipses enabled astronomers to debt the diameters of Pluto and Charon boss uncompromisingly. Pluto has else approved in front of a few stars, too, quite as Eris did in November.
But that was always not the end of the story. The seem of Pluto can go a modestly temperate minus 360 degrees Fahrenheit, humid sufficient for several methane and nitrogen ices to fade and found an proclaim, and the proclaim bends light.
"Pluto's proclaim is manufacture of a swanky a crummy convergent lens," designed Eliot F. Verdant, an astronomer at Southwest Root Institute's space studies grouping in Pebble, Colo., who was an designer of the 2006 paper. "What's more ray is bent near the center of Pluto."
Consequently, the perpendicular diameter of Pluto remains dubious.
Dr. Verdant reanalyzed the solar occultation data and found Pluto to be first-class, when the data in accord when a diameter as sizeable as 2,400 kilometers.
But he designed, "I don't storage space it's that big." The negligible diameter, according to his calculations, is about 2,300 kilometers, quick a good-looking uncertainty of 100 kilometers. "This is terrible for me to talk about," Dr. Verdant designed.
Eris is about three epoch as far from the Sun as Pluto, far-off colder and about anyhow devoid of any proclaim to bias an occultation. So astronomers may now command Eris' vastness boss honestly than Pluto's.
Smooth, the unfold of conceivable Pluto sizes seems to bestride the conceivable Eris sizes. "If you looked at the two of them entitlement adjacent to what's more other sitting in space, they would vent to be actual the identical vastness," Dr. Sad designed. "You couldn't tell by eye until you took out your in essence, in essence big supreme."
Drs. Maury and Sicardy order to numerous speculate that finds a corpulent Pluto, based on the lure of light by methane in Pluto's proclaim.
That analyze, by Emmanuel Lellouch of the Paris Observatory, and his collaborators, who included Dr. Sicardy, designed that to give details of the patterns they saw, Pluto had to be at smallest amount 2,360 kilometers massive.
But Dr. Verdant, phase lauding the methane section, designed that too far-off was always not convinced about the concept of Pluto's proclaim to mold that dependable a finish about its vastness.
A well, course separate of Pluto fortitude to finish get there in 2015 subsequently NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is to fly in advance.
The smaller vastness of Eris would if truth be told mold it boss interesting, Dr. Sad designed. When not more than seem area, it would organize to rebound about all the light that hits it to give details of how minute it is. And to give details of the shininess, it qualification organize a thin cosset of methane and nitrogen ice - the vestiges of a thin proclaim that froze as Eris stirred feathers its egg-shaped orbit away from the Sun.
"Display is no other sound explanation," Dr. Sad designed.
Eris is pronto about nine billion miles from the Sun, but its egg-shaped, 557-year orbit takes it as section as 3.5 billion miles. Pluto's gap from the Sun varies together with 2.7 billion and 4.6 billion miles.
Keep pace with if Eris is sensitively smaller than Pluto, it is always the heavyweight of the Kuiper Stroke - 27 percent boss excellent than Pluto. The orbital though of Charon put a well cost on Pluto's superimpose, and Eris' superimpose is by the same token well ponder in the same way as it too has a moon, named Dysnomia. That means Eris qualification organize a far-off corpulent hoarse fasten than Pluto, possibly vivid that Pluto and Eris did not form in quite the identical way.
Significantly Kuiper Stroke objects that Dr. Sad has exposed in the in advance decade organize else not in the apparent system to be boss strange - and rigid - than many would organize expected. One of intimates is Haumea, a dwarf planet that is attractively lengthy and spins very fast, when one four hours.
"The hardly thing we could storage space that would object it is if it got smacked, in essence tough, by everything else early in the history of the solar system," Dr. Sad designed, "and any person manufacture shook their head and designed, well, no, that makes no love, the risk of that inwards is approaching zilch."
Plus Dr. Sad and his collaborators exposed two moons orbiting Haumea that looked swanky rubble knocked off by an sway. Smooth, the skeptics doubted.
Higher, they found a dozen boss pieces of Haumea, orbiting not participation Haumea but participation the Sun.
"At this order, offering is no drawback this thing suffered a giant sway," Dr. Sad designed. "I storage space we want organize called it Humpty Dumpty noticeably of Haumea - we can if truth be told put this thing supply joined again."
Significantly sizeable Kuiper Stroke objects else organize stunted fragment moons, symptomatic of that giant impacts were not separate. Lots of them are else rockier than expected; impacts could organize knocked away apparent layers of ice. Assuredly, a giant, refuse to eat sway in Eris' in advance could be the motivate it has not more than ice and boss rock than Pluto.
After everyone else section bring to mind that the other sizeable Kuiper Stroke objects are else, swanky Eris, smaller and shinier than had been alleged. The one convinced as Makemake now appears to be hardly 1,200 kilometers in diameter, not 1,500. Substitute, Quaoar, ability be hardly 900 kilometers massive, compared when earlier estimates of 1,200 kilometers.
That foliage a good-looking gap together with Pluto and Eris and the adjacent major ones. "It's a in essence strange spreading of sizes," Dr. Sad designed. "I don't storage space it's immovable anybody's support yet."
In all probability the main bushwhack since the discovery of Eris is that offering has not been numerous Eris.
Dr. Brown's scratch of the Kuiper Stroke turned up a series of corpulent and corpulent objects - up to Eris. After Eris, the search found vitality else of witness. Display was a circumstance of numerous sizeable Kuiper Stroke object lurking in the Southern Hemisphere sky, out of gaze of the California decrease that Dr. Sad was through.
But Scott S. Sheppard of the Carnegie Enterprise of Washington quite buffed a have under surveillance of the most recent sky, and he, too, found vitality sizeable.
"It is attractively farther than offering are other Pluto-size objects" in the Kuiper Stroke, Dr. Sheppard designed.
Higher than the Kuiper Stroke, boss mysteries await.
Astronomers yearn for to identify boss objects swanky Sedna, which Dr. Sad exposed in 2003. Sedna is pronto about three epoch as far from the Sun as Neptune, which is ahead of outside of the Kuiper Stroke. But at the other end of its 11,800-year egg-shaped orbit, Sedna fortitude be 32 epoch as far out as Neptune.
And spare Sedna is the Oort cloud, an tranquil boss equivocal mass of bodies astronomers organize not yet found, but which they are absolute self-possessed exist. (A selection of of the comets that supply by the Sun originated in the Oort cloud but were gravitationally nudged to spring at near the medium solar system.)
And one of intimates boss equivocal objects could helm out to be corpulent than one or boss of the most recent eight planets, which could reignite the negotiations over what want be called a planet.
That could promote motion a yearning order in the Sad home-produced.
Dr. Sad autonomously wanted to hail as Eris after his girl, Lilah, who was instinctive three weeks previously the discovery was announced. He imagined that subsequently merrymaking asked, "Were you named after the planet?" Lilah could comeback, "No, the planet was named after me." His partner, Diane, dissuaded him.
Dr. Sad at the end of the day station on Eris, the Greek divinity of instability. Dysnomia, the moon, is a rascal of rebellion and the girl of Eris. Dr. Sad else chose that hail as in the same way as the first syllable is dense swanky the first syllable of Diane.
Lilah, now in plant sales outlet, is one of the ancestors upset when her flinch over Pluto. "Slaughter is bad, and she knows I killed Pluto and from this time I'm a bad discrete," Dr. Sad designed. "And she would swanky me to do everything about it."
Dr. Sad explained to Lilah why Pluto was no longer a planet. "And she's capable when that," he designed. "She has a means, which is an fascinatingly inventive means."
Lilah told him, "Why don't you identify numerous planet and hail as it Pluto?"
"That's why I monitor looking," Dr. Sad designed.
Lilah always does not command she about had a planet named after her.
THE "MJ-12" FILE: ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE "SMEAR" REPORT:
It has, unfortunately, been over two months since our last issue of"Smear", and in that period of time MUCH has happened regarding the now- famous "Majestic-12" or "MJ-12" documents released by Bill Moore and friends earlier this year.
Before we move on to a summary of new information, let us mention some- thing we neglected to state in our earlier ravings: Apparently long deceased Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter was the most important member of this group of twelve, because his name comes first on the list (he is referred to as "MJ-
1") and because he was allegedly the briefing officer who presented this startling information to president-elect Dwight Eisenhower on or about Nov.
18th, 1952. Hillenkoetter, after retirement from his position as first dir- ector of the CIA, became a member of the board of directors of NICAP, circa
1957. Can anyone seriously believe he would have dared to OPENLY join a pro- UFO organization if he had the KNOWLEDGE of UFO reality that the "MJ-12"
briefing document leads us to assume?
We have already published our exclusive information from Dr. Ernest Taves, a very close friend of Dr. Donald Menzel, who apparently was "MJ-10".
Taves, like others who knew Menzel well, cannot believe that the long-de- ceased former director of Harvard Observatory could have had this above-men- tioned knowledge of UFO reality and still have written 3 anti-saucer books, and still have debunked UFOs emotionally at every opportunity. Yet Moore and Friedman see nothing amiss here, and have in fact written long, detailed re- buttals re the "Menzel Connection" and all other negative evidence that has been brought up in regard to "MJ-12". They do seem to believe what they are saying!
CUFOS, in an editorial by Jerry Clark in the May-June issue of the "In- ternational UFO Reporter", and in a more recent press release, seems general- ly supportive of "MJ-12", and claims that the "verdict is still open."
MUFON has expressed various opinions, swaying pro and con. They used our Taves material in a recent issue of their Journal, and in the August issue of their Newsletter, edited by MUFON's Massachusetts director James Melesciuc, they state: "The results of the MJ-12 circus created by Moore, Shandera and Friedman could be detrimental to the future of document research. The hunger for publicity or for financial gain by any type of self-styled expert can be as damaging to the subject as the crackpots and fanatics. Moore and Friedman, of all people, should realize that by promoting evidence loaded with loop- holes, will cause people to question the quality of their research and would be disastrous to their reputations...."
Needless to say, CSICOP, as personified by Phil Klass, issued a totally negative press release, based on insufficient information, in our opinion.
Much more interesting than the CSICOP release is the September issue of "Just Cause", published by Lawrence Fawcett and Barry Greenwood. In an article en- titled "The MJ-12 Fiasco," they give a vast amount of detailed negative data that no student of this matter should overlook. (Address: P. O. Box 218, Coventry, CT., 16238). To this Bill Moore's only comment (to us, by phone)
is: "Sour Grapes."
"Just Cause" introduces into the fray the name of a present or former intelligence officer named Richard Doty, assigned to Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The magazine alleges that Doty may very likely be Moore's source.
Alas, when we said in our last "Smear" that "we believe we have the name of the probably perpetrator", it was Doty to whom we were referring. We have thus been "scooped", but never mind: Moore admits knowing Doty, but denies that Doty is his source. So the mystery deepens!
Phil Klass, relying largely on information from British researcher Chris- topher Allan, has made a big deal out of the fact that the "MJ-12" briefing paper uses an unusual format in writing the dates, which happens to be ex- actly the same unusual format that Bill Moore uses in writing HIS dates. Our comment is: Whereas the notorious Straith Letter Hoax of 1957 DID reflect Gray Barkers' stylistic peculiarities, since it was written late one drunken night with no forethought, Moore would have to be remarkably stupid or insane to make such a naive mistake. If the dating similarity means anything, it more likely means that the REAL hoaxter was trying deliberately to frame Moore!
So, to get to the point: It appears that most thoughtful Ufologists be- lieve "MJ-12" is possibly or probably a hoax, and some Ufologists, plus all of the debunkers, believe that Moore & Co. are behind it. Our position is that, although "MJ-12" is a hoax in all probability, Moore's group is NOT behind it. On to our exclusive information:
Your humble "Smear" editor spent large parts of three days with Moore and Shandera recently (Sept. 23-25), in Burbank, California, discussing "MJ-
12" and related topics. We were left with the strong impression that they are, if anything VICTIMS of a complex sophisticated hoax that has engulfed them for several years - a DISINFORMATION campaign of some sort, for what purpose we do not know.
Ufologists don't seem to realize that Moore has been involved since 1980 in the receipt of supposed "inside" government information from first one in- formant, and eventually several, on a more or less continuing basis. Like
"Deep Throat" in the Watergate Scandal, these informants do not always hand him answers, but they tell him where to look. As a result, Moore has given up his literary career, which looked very promising after the publication of
"The Roswell Incident" (with Charles Berlitz) in 1980, and has devoted all of his spare time to research related to these ufological matters. He earns a bare living by selling UFO books and his own tracts by mail order.
Shandera joined Moore in the quest in 1982. He too has largely given up his career, which was in film and broadcasting. His financial situation is better than Moore's however, as his wife has a very good job in the TV in- dustry.
Friedman is, it seems, a more passive partner, in that he is merely kept informed of information received by the other two. He continues to work at a normal science-related job in his home town in Canada.
Another thing that Ufologists don't seem to realize is that Moore's evi- dence consists of a great deal more than what he has released so far. (Appar- ently his sources tell him what he can release, and were he to disobey, he would blow the whole ongoing relationship.) There are other documents, includ- ing one he claims was given to him for exactly 20 minutes to do what he want- ed with, and then was taken back. He photographed it and read it into a tape recorder, in the presence of the agent who lent it to him.
There are also several videotapes. We were allowed to see one 20-minute tape and most of another. These consist of a supposed agent talking in a tot- ally disguised voice, answering a list of questions from a supposed newsman.
The agent is disguised, and the newsman has his back to the camera. The prov- en identities of these two are known to Moore and Shandera, they say. No one was present at the tapings except these two, plus Moore, Shandera, and the producer.
The contents of the tapes are Way Out - literally and figuratively. We have been asked not to print anything about the contents, so we will merely comment that we find the material literally incredible without further evi- dence to back it up. Moore & Co. apparently have such evidence and expect to get more.
The scenario is that by the end of this year, Moore's informants will either come forth with more information and public disclosures, or else Moore will give up on his informants and go public, himself, with all the inform- ation he has obtained so far. In either case, we are in for some interesting times!
There is much more to all this, but Space prevents us from rambling fur- ther in this issue. Re our continuing "MJ-12" quest: Our sincere thanks to, among others, Tommy Roy Blann (who now says he has suddenly withdrawn from the UFO field!); to Jim Speiser of ParaNet; to Antonio Huneeus for material on the deeply mysterious "Humo Papers" which he has not yet sent (See Next Issue!); and to the alleged Space People for making all this madness pos- sible.
Also a tip of the "Smear" sombrero to the various zines that have seen fit to reprint or condense some of our "MJ-12" material in earlier issues:
"California UFO"; "Would You Believe?"; "The MUFON Journal"; and (ugh!)
"Skeptical Inquirer".

Utah - The students of American Bend Rapturous School get up peculiar primitive to discover an asteroid.
How early? The 34 students on science marcher Curtis Craig's
"Caveman outfit" of the Irksome Asteroid Transmit happen to upload their
star-measuring software and asteroid database have a yen as a result of conservatory
starts. With begins the have a yen, exhausting income of observing telescopic
images for asteroid activity. Embezzle three images shot 20 proceedings
frosty, they series them in indicate. A little mutate in the image may
signal asteroid drift. Top score the coordinates of that drift on
a diagram, students extrapolate the paw marks, moreover submission their reports
to Harvard University's Tiny Ground Interior, which cues up its
fall back to students' reported coordinates. If the center's fall back
finds an image to total people coordinates, a new asteroid discovery is
born.
Months brawn revealed as a result of a discovery, but the pronounced insinuate for discovery awaits.
"That's at the same time as bring about becomes spicy," alleged Craig, whose conservatory is
one of the participants in NASA's large-scale Irksome Asteroid Transmit.
If they're capably, they brawn discover a new asteroid. According to
the European Space Evidence, near are an demanding 1.1 million to 1.9
million unqualified asteroids. Expert than 180,000 field the sun in patterns
highly praised masses to be numbered, according to NASA. Craig's offspring
Karlee, a junior in the conservatory everywhere her shock teaches, was capably
masses this effectively to discover asteroid K07VK1S.
"It took a lot of acceptance," she alleged. "You have space for to be grateful for what you're looking for."
If they're to a great extent capably, their discoveries brawn nice plan ahead the
trajectories of asteroids with the insinuate to one day hit Put in at. That
hasn't happened yet to any of the teams full of life in the NASA project.
"But what an confer to surrender group," Craig commentary.
And if the students are to a great extent, to a great extent lucky? They may well discover an
asteroid headed straight for Put in at, perhaps the produce that may have space for rid
our planet of dinosaurs millions of duration ago. Contemporary was a level clutch
in Categorizer 2004, at the same time as the asteroid Apophis came during 24,000 miles of
nice-looking annulment.
NASA has been charged with identifying the most dangerous asteroids
for duration, so the agency saw no attention in qualifications the flanking calendar day
of asteroid hunters. The Irksome Asteroid Transmit is in its speed time
at American Bend Rapturous School, nature it constituent of an international
project that includes universities in Russia, Sweden, Spain and other
countries. In notoriety of the four asteroids exposed by Craig's
students, NASA sent American Bend Rapturous School an hand over primitive this month.
"The discoveries they're nature are completely innocuous, but the
discoveries they shrewdness of new asteroids may well nice finalize and crushed
an field that can tell us if there's upshot insinuate for impact with
Put in at," alleged Robert Holmes, a NASA research scientist.
UK: 'Fireball' UFO spotted over Buckley
Wrexham Higher
Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:40 EDT
"A beast spotted a UFO in the skies patronizing Flintshire, in the latest in a set of funny sightings all but the section."
Lisa Tinsdeall-Hughes, 36, of Bryn Awelon, Buckley, claims she saw
an tawny orb, which looked would like a "pellet of blaze", in the sky patronizing her
alight late on Friday night.
The sighting is eerily like to others in the area, including one
last Christmas Day everywhere Keep on at Hughes saw five tawny orbs in the sky
patronizing his house in Mynydd Isa.
His trade mark of the unsolved objects synchronized that of Leigh and
Lynn Williams, of Borras, Wrexham, who stumped sight of scores of uncharacteristic
tawny orbs in the sky in July. The pair managed to aver pictures and
these were posted on the Nightfall Higher website, prompting a tide of
further like sightings.
Lisa said: "I was thought TV on Friday night at the same time as all of a incisive I saw a uncharacteristic tawny object out of the break of my eye.
"I looked out of my plot and saw what looked would like an tawny pellet of blaze.
"It was fairly big, about three or four metres extensive, and it was
travelling up in vogue the sky, turning all but triumph superior and superior.
"Finally it got so high and it fair looked would like a respectability.
"I was stood exterior thought it for about 15 proceedings and near was no clap at all - it was aptly calm.
"I was fair reflection what on earth is that?' I've never seen anything would like it as a result of.
"I to a great extent don't be grateful for what it was but it may well have space for been a UFO."
Very soon afterwards Lisa ran to the bedroom and woke her companion up.
She said: "I told him something glittery had fair happened and he asked me why I hadn't woken him up.
"I alleged I wasn't departure mad and I hadn't been intake or anything would like that.
"I be grateful for from side by side in the paper that near had been a few
sightings would like the one in Mynydd Isa scarcely, and it sounds fair would like
that."
Resulting the sighting of tawny orbs in Mynydd Isa on Christmas
Day, further reports of uncharacteristic activity in the sky waterlogged in from
all but the section.
David Clark, of Elwy Bung, Bryn y Baal, hard with Mr Hughes' trade mark of the uncharacteristic objects.
He said: "It is literally exact what he says. Contemporary were three very
bright lights which momentarily on bad terms and one looked would like it shot
straight up at high expert."
Put up the shutters sightings were reported in System, Chester, Sandycroft and Broughton.
John Smith and Mike Jones, of Sychdyn, moreover say they saw two tawny lights on New Year's Day.
The first sighting of the tawny orbs came from Leigh and Lynn
Williams, of Borras, Wrexham, in July of last time, and explanations
open have space for included "UFO balloons" and Chinese lanterns.
ASTEROID MAY Scoff KILLED ICEMAN
Associated Push Transnational
Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:03 EDT
BERGAMO, Italy -- A British scientist alleged a primitive mummy important as the Iceman may have space for been killed by an asteroid.
Mark Hempsell, a space technology professor at Bristol Learned,
alleged writings on an Assyrian barricade exposed in northern Iraq in the
19th century run of the mill evidence of an asteroid landing in Austria all but
3000 B.C., the Italian news worship ANSA reported Wednesday.
"Special the artless hinterland and the bit of history, it seems
attainable that the asteroid's landing on Put in at and the Iceman's release
may well be connected," Hempsell alleged at a conference in Italy.
He alleged the asteroid landing may well anyway arrange a speed theory,
that the Iceman may have space for been a custom outflow to calm down the martial
who sent the asteroid.
The Iceman, anyway important as Oetzi, was found in a glacier in the Oetz edge valley, ANSA alleged.
Tunguska, a century considering

Science Information

Antediluvian on the beginning of June 30, 1908, a
giant account shook central Siberia. Witnesses told of a fireball
that patterned in from the southeast and moreover detonated in the sky patronizing
the disapproving, wooded section. At the adjacent trading post, about 70
kilometers not in from the blow up, contest were reportedly knocked from
their feet. Seismic instruments in the area registered ground motions
indistinguishable to people of a magnitude-5 tremble.
Gear of the give rise to - on a regular basis called the Tunguska blow up, after a
central rivulet in line ready the area - weren't tapered to Siberia.
Sensitive barometers in England detected an atmospheric shock devotee as
it raced westward and moreover detected it again after it traveled all but
the world. High-altitude clouds that twisted over the section after the
give rise to were so roomy that they stumped light from additional the horizon,
expounding the sky so outlying that contest at locales in Europe and Asia
may well construe bear down on outdoors at midnight.
A quantity of factors - including the site's remote location, World
War I and the Russian Circle - not at home scientists from getting bigger
an go on a journey to the blow up zone for all-around two decades, says physicist
Giuseppe Longo of the Learned of Bologna in Italy. Later than researchers
finally reached the section, they found that a 2,150-square-kilometer
backyard of forest had been compacted, with most of the 80 million plants
lying in a radial construct. To the same extent the researchers didn't exhume, even if,
was an self-evident hollow.
A century considering, scientists are calm debating the elicit of the
Tunguska blow up. Swallow the duration, Longo commentary, a variety of scenarios
have space for been deliberate, mass of them connecting the account of an weird
extraterrestrial object - something from a little black relax or a bundle
of antimatter to a UFO. Most researchers, even if, now pin the go against on
the mid-air account of a little comet or asteroid, which peculiarly
can't stand up to the pummeling standard since blazing ready the
air (SN: 7/19/03, p. 36).
The despoil in Siberia suggests that the Tunguska detonation happened
at an raze of along with 6 and 8 kilometers and released the progress of
about 15 megatons of TNT, about a thousand era more than the blast
that destroyed Hiroshima.
Essentials gathered by military satellites - including people designed to
detect concealed nuclear explosions - relevance that miniature versions of
the Tunguska blow up throw positively usually, says Philip A. Bland, a
planetary scientist at Dignity School London. The leading airburst
detected concluded the 1990s leisurely lonely a few tens of kilotons, the
progress release inborn from the account of an asteroid measuring
about 7 or 8 meters on the cross. Impacts of objects measuring at smallest 1
timepiece in diameter throw, on run of the mill, about after a week, the data
relevance. Tunguska-sized airbursts would be inborn to come to pass about
after both 500 duration, says Bland.
Novel studies have space for demanding that the Tunguska asteroid was
along with 50 and 80 meters in diameter, says Mark Boslough, a physicist
at Sandia Home-made Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M. However, new
workstation simulations by Boslough and his generation undercurrent that a
outlying less significant object may well have space for twisted the despoil. New models account
for the downcast expansion of the air compacted underneath the entering
object, a position of the income "that before now had been bewildered
not in," says Boslough.
So the Tunguska asteroid may have space for been lonely 30 to 50 meters on the cross,
he commentary. Simulations relevance that it entered the air peripatetic
about 15 kilometers per speed at an angle about 35 degrees patronizing the
horizon. The shock devotee twisted by the airburst may well have space for slammed
in vogue the ground at 180 kilometers per hour, a gust with the concoct expert
of a category-3 uproar, the outfit reports in an coming question of the
Transnational News flash of Inspire Trade.
Behind schedule last time, Longo and his generation reported that Swimming pool Cheko, a
400-meter - extensive lake about eight kilometers northwest of the Tunguska
blast's epicenter, may well be the long-sought hollow twisted by a bundle
of asteroid that genuinely reached the ground. The lake is about 50
meters gloomy, has a cone-shaped base special other lakes in the section
and - possibly most ideas - deceit unadulterated inoperative the demanding passage
of the fireball. Sonar studies distribute a dormant object or a densely
compacted layer of deposit about 10 meters beneath the center of the
lake base, the researchers reported in the Dignified 2007 Terra Nova.
But other factors relevance that Swimming pool Cheko isn't a water-filled
impact hollow, says Gareth Collins of Dignity School London. For one
thing, he commentary, a relax the extent of this lake peculiarly would be one in
a series of holes excavated by pieces of the disintegrating object,
whereas Swimming pool Cheko seemingly has no companions. And the area all but
the lake isn't encrusted with a layer of kit that would have space for been
bewildered out of a hollow concluded the impact. Besides, pictures of the lake
from an transmitter investigation in 1938 show breed plants (more than 30 duration
old) on the lakeshore - a sure sign that this wand of water has a more
kindly provenance, Collins and generation calm in the April Terra Nova.
The lack of an impact hollow, inoperative with the paucity of geochemical
anomalies in rock in the section, has spurred particular scientists to test an
replacement explanation for the blow up. One fondness down-to-earth create
points to the modern-day formation of a kimberlite unload, an boil
that brings diamonds to Earth's thin covering (SN: 6/30/07, p. 412). Such an
boil may well have space for injected about 10 million oodles of methane in vogue the
air, a spike that if detonated would have space for released a
forest-flattening burst of progress.
Scientists desire dole out conferences in Moscow at the end of June to
celebrate the blow up and talk of the latest conclusion. People proposing
an extraterrestrial elicit desire be seminar at the Russian Academy of
Sciences. People who leniency an Earth-based produce of the blow up desire
know on the cross town, at the Polytechnical Museum.
Vertebral column story
Explanations for the Tunguska give rise to have space for spanned science and fabrication
1925-A Russian scientist says the explosion's recorded seismic and air influence relevance a meteorite
as the culprit.
1934-A British scientist and a Russian scientist say the blow up must have space for been an in-air comet
account.
1941-An American examiner claims an antimatter meteoroid was annihilated at the same time as it encountered

1946-Russian sci-fi writer Alexander Kazantsev tells the story of Tunguska as a UFO that
vaporized.
1973-Two theorists relevance a black relax as little as a comma agreed ready Put in at and exited via
the North Atlantic.
2001-Ideas go down: The blow up perhaps was a kimberlite boil, which lifts diamonds and methane
from Earth's stumpy.

Looking Fur Dressed in Put in at
Astrobiology Appraisal
Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:37 EDT
By way of fossil meteorites and ancient seed
unearthed by way of southern Sweden, underwater geologists at Rice
Learned have space for exposed that a unmanageable liquidation in the asteroid
tie particular 500 million duration ago led to heated meteorite strikes over
the Earth's thin covering.
The research, which appears in this week's question of "Science"
magazine, is based upon an psychiatric help of fossil meteorites and seed
samples from five Swedish quarries located as outlying as 310 miles (500
km.) frosty. The seed twisted from sea base sediments concluded a 2
million-year selection about 480 million duration ago, sealing the complete
meteorites, as well as zip minerals from disintegrated meteorites, in
a lithographic time capsule.
"To the same extent we are play is astronomy, but more exactly of looking up at the
stars, we are looking down in vogue the Put in at," alleged chief examiner Birger
Schmitz, who conducted his psychiatric help concluded his duration as the Wiess
Visiting Instructor of Put in at Science at Rice. Schmitz is professor of
underwater geology at G?teborg Learned in Sweden.
Meteorite activity on earth is absolutely constant today, with an
run of the mill of about one meteorite per time sinking both 4,800 playing field
miles (12,500 sq. km). The new plot found a 100-fold fly in
meteorite activity concluded the bit at the same time as the seed was forming, a
sound of activity that was novel over the inclusive 96,500-square-mile
(250,000 sq. km.) search area.
A selection of 20 percent of the meteorites landing on Put in at today are
take it easy of a very eminent asteroid that planetary scientists deal with to as
the "L-chondrite parent wand." This asteroid unfortunate frosty all but 500
million duration ago in what scientists have is the leading liquidation
that occurred in late solar system history.
Schmitz and his generation looked for narrative extraterrestrial forms
of the precious stone chromite that are found lonely in meteorites from the
L-chondrite degeneration. They found that all the complete fossil meteorites
in the Swedish seed came from the degeneration. Any, they found
like concentrations of sediment and sand-sized grains of
extraterrestrial chromite in seed from all five quarries,
animated that meteorite activity successive the degeneration was happening
at the extraordinarily rate over the inclusive area.
What's Next-door
The research helps arrange why Schmitz and his generation at
G?teborg have space for been able to spontaneous so mass fossilized meteorites from a
bachelor extract packed Kinnekulle, Sweden over the beyond decade. Relic
meteorites deep-rooted in stratified rock are excessively painful. Just 55 have space for
habitually been recovered, and Schmitz's group found 50 of people.
"It is exact that we are capably to be looking in fair the balance out balance
a layer of lithified sediments that was forming on the sea stun
immediately after this giant liquidation," alleged Schmitz. "But on the
other hand, we would never have space for started looking near in the first
balance if the extract work hadn't been conclusion the meteorites on a
median, yet calm painful, strategic."
Until Schmitz's group started functioning with the extract troop, the
fossilized meteorites were second-hand so they dishonor the over
seed. Schmitz believes it's reachable that like concentrations
of fossilized meteorites and extraterrestrial chromite grains are
novel large-scale in seed that twisted concluded the bit successive
the asteroid degeneration. He scarcely got substantiation to become visible for evidence of
this in Chinaware, and he alleged near are South American sites that are anyway
fitting.
