Page 004, MJ-12 briefing paper for American President-Elect Dwight David Eisenhower, Nov. 18, 1952.

January 30, 2015 Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada - A month ago on December 26, 2014, retired nuclear physicist, UFO investigator and author Stanton Friedman wrote a detailed rebuttal to debunkers, who have tried to stick hoax labels on some of the most historic and authentic UFO-related documents. That authentic list includes the September 24, 1947, President Truman memo to James Forrestal, the first U. S. Secretary of Defense; the July 14, 1954 Memorandum for General Nathan Twining from President Eisenhower's Special Assistant Robert Cutler that mentions NSC/MJ-12 Special Studies Project; and the November 18, 1952, Eisenhower Briefing Document, which is reprinted in its entirety below.

A Big Asteroid Comes Close Jan. 26th — and Mysterious “Sand Dunes” and “Goosebumps” On Comet 67P?

–  “At present, we know almost nothing about asteroid 2004 BL86, so there are bound to be surprises.”

- Lance Benner, Ph.D., NASA Radar Astronomer

– “The circular 'goosebumps' (on Comet 67P) look very, very bizarre. To be frank, we don't know how those things were created. We have no clue.”

- Nicholas Thomas, Ph.D., Prof. of Experimental Physics, Switzerland's Univ. of Bern

 

January 26, 2015 Albuquerque, New Mexico - On Monday, January 26, 2015, at 11:19 AM EST, a large asteroid about one-third of a mile wide will zip past Earth some 750,000 miles (1.2 million km) away. The Goldstone Deep Space Network near Barstow, California, will track the asteroid. At that time, the asteroid should be close to the Beehive Cluster and with a powerful pair of binoculars, you might be able to see it. See sky map.

This diagram shows the close passage of 2004 BL86 on January 26, 2015, with closest approach occurring at about 16:19 UTC, or about 11:19 AM EST. The view is nearly edge-on to the Earth's orbit. The Moon's nearly circular orbit is highly foreshortened from this viewpoint. The asteroid moves from the south to the north, from below the Earth's orbit to above. The roughly 500-meter (1500-foot) asteroid approaches to within 1.2 million kilometers (750,000 miles) of Earth, or about 3.1 times the distance of the Moon. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Invisible, Mysterious Force Field Protecting Earth from “Killer Electrons”

“The high-energy particles run into some kind of a barrier
that we were not expecting. That barrier is remarkably stable.”

- Phillip Erickson, Ph.D., MIT Haystack Observatory

Scientists have discovered that high-energy electrons from the sun and cosmic rays are being cutoff around 7,200 miles from Earth, as if the “killer electrons” traveling at 100,000 miles per second are slamming into an invisible brick wall.

December 19, 2014  Westford, Massachusetts- In the November 27, 2014, issue of the science journal, Nature, NASA announced a surprising discovery hidden inside the two Van Allen radiation belts. The huge irony is that the Van Allen belts that range from 600 to 25,000 miles above the Earth, and were discovered in 1958 by physicist James Van Allen, are full of highly energetic particles of solar radiation and cosmic rays. The dangerous “killer electrons” in the Van Allen belts travel faster than 100,000 miles per second and would seriously damage satellites or humans trapped in those belts. And yet at 7,200 miles up, scientists have found an invisible, impenetrable barrier that is keeping the killer electrons from getting to the Earth's surface. And so far, no one understands exactly how the “invisible brick wall” protecting Earth got there.

Could Earth’s Magnetic Poles Flip This Century?

“The last (pole) snap between reversed and normal (today) polarity  happened between two (ancient ash) samples that are only two centimeters apart.  That has to correspond to 100 years or less.”

- Paul Renne, Ph.D., Director, Berkeley Geochronology Center, UC-Berkeley

Above are supercomputer models of Earth's magnetic field. On the left is a normal dipolar magnetic field. On the right is the sort of complicated magnetic field Earth would have leading up to a pole reversal. The Earth's dipole magnetic field, akin to a bar magnet, remains about the same intensity for thousands to millions of years. Then for unknown reasons, it can weaken and reverse polarity. In the first half of 2014, data indicates that the Earth's magnetic field is decreasing 10 times faster than normal. Illustration by NASA.

Earth's magnetic poles are actually pretty far from its geographic poles. In 2005, the North Magnetic Pole (NMP) was about 810 km (503 miles) from the Geographic North Pole (GNP). The NMP was in the Arctic Ocean north of Canada. The South Magnetic Pole (SMP) was about 2,826 km (1,756 miles) from the Geographic South Pole. The SMP was off the coast of Antarctica in the direction of Australia. Approximate 2014 North Magnetic Pole Coordinates: 75.7667° N, 99.7833° W Approximate 2014 South Magnetic Pole Coordinates: 107.79°E, 80.08°S

December 18, 2014  Berkeley, California - 786,000 years ago, iron atoms in Earth's liquid outer core began switching their orientation in opposition to the existing Earth magnetic field. What causes iron atoms to act like tiny magnets that revolt against the planetary magnetic field is not understood. But when it happens in increasing numbers, patches of reverse-aligned iron atoms keep growing until they dominate the rest of the Earth's liquid outer core — and the planet's magnetic field flips. That means what was the north magnetic pole becomes the south magnetic pole and what was the south becomes the north. According to ancient sedimentary rock, volcanic ash and sea floor core research, there have been 184 polarity changes in the last 83 million years. Recent ground research indicates that in the century before the last pole flip, the Earth's magnetic field weakened and strengthened and weakened and strengthened several times before locking into the current north and south magnetic poles.

Ebola, Simpler Than HIV Retrovirus, But Can Kill More Rapidly

“Ebola is only a 7-gene (RNA) ‘infectious particle (filovirus),’ so streamlined it isn’t even a cell, isn’t even alive, can reduce a human body to a puddle, inner barriers dissolving into nothingness, within days. How does Ebola virus, so much simpler than influenza, simpler than HIV retrovirus, do it?”

- Ricki Lewis, Ph.D., Genetics Science Writer

October 30, 2014  Galveston, Texas - The 2014 Ebola outbreak is the biggest since the filovirus's first emergence in 1976 as a devastating infectious disease in Sudan and Zaire, Africa, 38 years ago.

The current good news is that seven Americans treated in U. S. hospitals with blood plasma transfusions from Ebola survivors and a few experimental drugs have recovered. One American doctor, Craig Spencer, remains in “serious but stable” condition at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York after a blood plasma transfusion from Ebola survivor Nancy Writebol. Dr. Spencer returned in mid-October symptom-free to New York City after treating Ebola patients in Guinea, West Africa. But on October 23rd, with a fever, he was admitted to Bellevue.

Part 2: Large Aerial Triangle Reports from 1800s to Present

“Albany, Georgia, 1953 — pilot states as he closed on the light, ‘it alternated white, red, white, red’ and did that two or three times for roughly two to three second intervals. Then, he stated in the Air Force Project Blue Book report, ‘The light then changed into a perfect equilateral triangle’ right before his eyes. ”

- David Marler, Author, Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation

 

Return to Part 1.

September 26, 2014  Albuquerque, New Mexico - One long-time researcher of the mysterious aerial triangles going back as far as the 1800s is David Marler. In 2013, he focused some of his research in a book entitled, Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation.

Earth Life Is Dying In A 6th Mass Extinction As Great As Asteroid Hit 65 Million Years Ago – But This Time the Cause Is Humans.

— “The worst case is the rapid loss of species. But what is really unusual
about this extinction event is that the climate is changing anywhere between 10 and a 100 times faster than even the previous extinction events.”

- Chris Langdon, Ph.D., Marine Biologist, Univ. of Miami

— “The science is sobering—the global temperature in 2012 was among
the hottest since records began in 1880. Make no mistake: without concerted action, the very future of our planet is in peril.”

- Christine Lagarde, Managing Dir., International Monetary Fund

— “There's good reason to believe southern Florida will eventually have to be evacuated.”

- Ben Strauss, COO of Climate Central, Florida

 

August 28, 2014  Miami, Florida - On August 19, 2014, five climate scientists warned Florida Governor Rick Scott that a major threat to Florida's future is the steadily rising ocean as carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases build up in the Earth's atmosphere like a warming blanket. Florida State University Prof. Jeff Chanton told Governor Scott that as the ocean expands with warmer water and polar caps keep melting, southern Florida's barrier islands to Lake Okeechobee are going to go under water. “That's a seriously different world,” Prof. Chanton said. “It's going to be a different planet for our children.”

Part 2: Lunar “Humanoid Shadows” Probably Processing Errors, But Lead to More Mysterious Sites

Close-up of “humanoid shadow” oriented in a “standing” position. There are many such “humanoid shadows” repeating every 22 miles or so in the higher resolution band in Google Earth below. Implication:  imaging processing errors. But in the process of finding many humanoid shadows, other mysterious sites were found below. Above NASA image from “Odd figure on the Moon?” posted July 18, 2014, on YouTube by wowforreeel.

Return to Part 1.

August 19, 2014  - After contributing moon image analysis in Part 1, retired Navy Captain Mark Wood studied the moonscape and started finding repeating “humanoid silhouette shadows” on average every 22 to 24 miles apart along the top of the NASA band of higher resolution. The implication is that the “humanoid shadows” are some kind of processing error. As examples, a few of them are marked by yellow Google pins below. The shadows are not identical, but some seem to repeat such as Silhouette 21 at 18 02 07.48N  40 48 58.82E and MarkSilhouette14 at  21 34 05.02N  29 46 58.20E
