“‘Tagging’ was when non-humans put little chips into the necks of people -the CIA had many cases. One implant device was supposed to have produced hieroglyphs when passed over a certain kind of scanning device.”

Part 2:  CIA, UFOs and Hollywood

“If you’ve got government agencies working in Hollywood covertly to improve their own images, that’s not only a bad use of funds, it’s also fundamentally anti-Democratic and wrong.”

Mystery of Missing East Coast Acorns

“Once I started paying attention, I couldn't find any acorns anywhere. Not from white oaks, red oaks or black oaks, and this was supposed to be their big year. It's really bizarre!”

- Greg Zell, Long Branch Nature Center, Arlington, Virginia

December 21, 2008  Alexandria, Virginia -  This fall, Greg Zell, a naturalist working at the Long Branch Nature Center in Arlington, Virginia, went to one of the many oak forests that have long grown around Arlington, Alexandria, Virginia, and in Maryland forests. He wanted to gather a lot of oak acorns to feed flying squirrels in a program run by the Long Branch Nature Center. Greg was in for a surprise. “I couldn't find any acorns anywhere. Not from white oaks, red oaks or black oaks, and this was supposed to be their big year. We're talking zero. Not a single acorn. It's really bizarre!”

Carbonate Finally Found On Mars

“We know there’s been water all over the place, but how frequently have the conditions been hospitable for life? We can say pretty confidently that when water was present in the places we looked at, it would have been a happy, pleasant environment for life.”

- John Mustard, Ph.D., Geological Sciences, Brown University

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has finally found carbonate minerals on Mars that show up as green in the above image of a 12-miles-wide region in Nili Fossae on the edge of the Isidis impact basin. Scientists hypothesize the carbonates might have formed at the surface when olivine-rich rocks were exposed and altered by running water. Image courtesy NASA/JPL/JHUAPL/MSSS/Brown University.

December 20, 2008  San Francisco, California -  At the annual American Geophysical Union Fall 2008 meeting held in San Francisco from December 15 to December 19, Brown University graduate student, Bethany Ehlmann, reported finding the mineral carbonate on Mars, increasing the chances that life might have existed on the red planet in the past when there was a less acidic watery surface. Carbonates result from carbon dioxide dissolved in water.

Updated Part 1: Viewer Comments About Aerial Flames and “Symbols” Over Dublin and Stephenville, Texas

February 20, 2008  Albuquerque, New Mexico - The following are some of the Earthfiles viewer comments I have received about the Stephenville and Dublin, Texas, unusual aerial phenomena photographed, videotaped and described by eyewitnesses there since early January 2008. In addition to the large rectangular "frames of white fire" described by pilot and businessman Steve Allen (See 020508Earthfiles), perhaps the most extraordinary aerial event was videotaped on January 19, 2008, between 10:10 p.m. and 10:20 p.m. CST by David Caron near the Stephenville municipal airport. The 12-minute videotape shows a pale-colored, disc-shaped aerial object that suddenly seems to transform into “symbols” that pulse every 15 frames of the videotape, or one every half-second. At Earthfiles, I have shared a clip of the videotape and still frames of the symbols (See 021408 Earthfiles).

Mysterious Multi-Colored Light Patterns in Sky Over Reno, Nevada

“I finally photographed the mysterious light with my digital camera and was surprised to see colored light patterns similar to the ones that were taken in Stephenville, Texas, during the mass sighting events in January 2008.”

– Reno, Nevada, Resident

 

December 19, 2008  Reno, Nevada -  The morning after my December 17, 2008, three hour news broadcast on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, I received the following email from a Reno, Nevada, resident along with several photographs she had taken on December 10, 2008, after 9 PM Pacific over the Washoe Valley south of Reno. Her photographs are very similar to the videotape by David Caron near the Stephenville, Texas, Airport on January 19, 2008. See hot links to other Earthfiles reports in More Information.

Erath County, Texas, Policeman Saw 600-Foot-Diameter Aerial Craft Over Courthouse in Stephenville

“I’m looking directly at this craft and it starts pivoting upward at a 35 to 40 degree angle off the left ‘wingtip.’ It rises there for about three seconds and then it goes completely 90 degrees and starts moving away from me, all without sound!”

- “Greg,” Erath County Police Officer

December 17, 2008  Stephenville, Texas  -  Almost one year ago, at the end of January 2008, I flew to Texas to talk with eyewitnesses and see videotapes, photos and sketches of the many unidentified aerial craft sightings reported that month over Stephenville, Dublin, Selden, Glen Rose and surrounding region. That group of rural towns is southwest of Dallas/Fort Worth. One eyewitness in January was Lee Roy Gaitan, Erath County Constable for Precinct 2, officed in Dublin, a town of about 4,000 people only eight miles southwest of Stephenville. Stephenville is the larger Erath County seat with about 15,000 residents.

Updated – Part 1:  CIA, UFOs and Hollywood

“If  NASA took the time to write me a 20-page letter, then I knew there must be something happening. When they read the [Close Encounters] script, they got very angry and felt that it was a film that would be dangerous.”

– Steven Spielberg, Director, Close Encounters of the Third Kind

 

December 17, 2008  Stafford, Staffordshire, England -  The Day the Earth Stood Still re-make with Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connolly has been released this December 2008 to enthusiastic crowds. Fifty-seven years ago on September 28, 1951, the original movie was first released in black-and-white starring Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal. The story is about a humanoid alien visitor named Klaatu who comes to Earth in a silver disc with his robot, Gort, to issue humankind a warning. The original screenwriter, Edmund H. North, based the script on a short story by Harry Bates entitled “Farewell to the Master,” published in the October 1940 issue of Astounding Science-Fiction.
