The NASA Study on Extraterrestrial Contacts

Instead of investigating the claims of extraterrestrial contact, there is a pattern of unwarranted character assassination. Throw in the hoaxes, and the public has a hard time distinguishing fact from fiction. And when it comes to extraterrestrial contact, there are the intelligence agencies who would like to tell us all about their side of the story:



And somebody had the sense of humor to make this statement carved into the wall of the building of the CIA:

As this is a controversial subject, and due to some sensitive information I have recently uncovered, I want to back up a bit and discuss the bigger picture.  Because from a particular instance of an extraterrestrial contact, we should not make any generalizations, especially when much about them is unknown.

At first I was just looking at NASA photos and videos to see if any other planets in our solar system were inhabited by advanced extraterrestrial races, to see if the claims made by Emanuel Swedenborg in the 18th century was correct. Not only is there evidence of unusual activity - crafts controlled by intelligent beings - there is incontrovertible evidence that NASA brushes up and tampers with the photos in order to hide it before releasing it to the public, which I discussed earlier in this blog. So, I thought that was the end of the matter, until I discovered evidence of a government extraterrestrial contact through a radio signal in an NSA document, which can be possibly dated to the year 1953. The surprise here is that it contains scientific information that was ahead of its time. If we look at the period of 1952-54, there was a flurry of UFO activity at that time, with rumors of a direct extraterrestrial contact with the government, perhaps initiated by the Roswell crash of 1947. And not just with one group of extraterrestrials. At least two groups. Each with a different agenda or motive. This is the exact time when the CIA and NSA were formed, as well as the rumored MJ-12 special studies group. So UFO studies is not just a pure scientific matter. It is also an intelligence matter. And a very weird one at that, needless to say.

THE BROOKINGS STUDY ON EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT

Let us assume some direct contact was made with the U.S. Government some time in 1953 or 1954. Although I say the U.S. Government here, contact with other nations may have followed - specifically those with nuclear weapons. Those who research this will know that all major nations of the world are aware of them, typically the intelligence agencies rather than the elected officials. If contact was made, then soon after there would have been studies or study groups on how to deal with the matter. So, after 1953, were there any public government studies on extraterrestrial contact? Yes. Reading these reports closely reveals the "inside thinking" of government experts on the subject, and why they would not disclose it to the public.

The first government study on contact with extraterrestrials, was done in 1960 by the Brookings Institute for NASA entitled, Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs. The report warned that the American public should be prepared for the psychological impact of such a revelation. And if you think there is no psychological impact, there is. You do not know until you face it. It is like saying to yourself you are prepared and ready for the death of a close family member. Most are not - as most think death is the end of all existence. You think you are ready, but when it happens, you are not. The same goes with extraterrestrial contact: at first it is theory, a sighting here and there...but when faced with an actual contact, there is the shock factor. Because we have all been taught that among the billions of stars and galaxies we are alone. Not only that, we have all been told that contact has not been made and that we are still searching. This is false. Contact has been made, and it is slowly getting released to the public. So lets take a look at this government study - it does not discuss any contact, but it reveals the government thinking at the time. One concern of the Brookings Institute was nothing less than the complete collapse of civilization, if not a drastic change in culture:

"Anthropological files contain many examples of societies, sure of their place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they have had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different ideas and different life ways; others have survived such an experience did so by paying the price of changes in values and attitudes and behavior."

Think of the Aztec civilization that were wiped out by the Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century. Or the push against Indian tribes when North America was settled, until they had to retreat into small pockets. Or, instead of pure conquest, think of assimilation. In many cases, the weaker culture was assimilated into the stronger culture, until the weaker culture disappeared or was forever changed. If it survived, it was marginalized. In pop culture, this is described by the Borg collective in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Here is a clip, where the Borg seeks to assimilate the biology and technology of one culture into their collective. A collective where there is no individuality:



The following summary of the the Brookings report is provided by NICAP:

"Even though the UFO problem was not indicated as a reason for the study, it undoubtedly was an important factor. Fear of public reaction to an admission of UFO reality was cited as the main reason for secrecy in the early years of the AF investigation. (Confirmed to NICAP's present director in 1952-3, when the AF was planning to release important UFO reports, also the famous Utah motion-pictures of a UFO formation.)
Radio communication probably would be the first proof of other intelligent life, says the NASA report. It adds: "Evidences of its existence might also be found in artifacts left on the moon or other planets."
This report gives weight to previous thinking by scholars who have suggested that the earth already may be under close scrutiny by advanced space races. In 1958, Prof. Harold D. Lasswell of the Yale Law School stated:
"The implications of the UFOs may be that we are already viewed with suspicion by more advanced civilizations and that our attempts to gain a foothold elsewhere may be rebuffed as a threat to other systems of public order." (UFO Investigator, Dec. 1958.)
The NASA warning of a possible shock to the public, from the revelation of more advanced civilizations, support's NICAP's previous arguments against AF secrecy about UFOs. All available information about UFOs should be given to the public now, so that we will be prepared for any eventuality."

The NICAP quote above is not entirely accurate, here is a direct quote from the Brookings report:

"Recent publicity given to efforts to detect extraterrestrial messages via radio telescopes has popularized - and legitimized - speculations about the impact of such a discovery on human values. ...many cosmologists and astronomers think it very likely that there is intelligent life in many other solar systems. While face-to-face meetings with it will not occur within the next twenty years (unless its technology is more advanced than ours, qualifying it to visit earth), artifacts left at some point in time by these life forms might possibly be discovered through our space activities on the Moon, Mars, or Venus. If there is any contact to be made during the next twenty years it would most likely be radio - which would indicate that these beings had at least equaled our own technological level."

I take special note of the following statement: radio communication probably would be the first proof of other intelligent life. This is in perfect alignment with the theory that the NSA extraterrestrial radio signal dates to 1953, which I discussed previously. The other significant statement is that "evidence of its existence might also be found in artifacts left on the moon or other planets." Why mention this? As discussed previously, NASA and intelligence agencies may have found evidence of artifacts on the Moon in the 1960s, and there is video evidence of this as well as witness testimony. As this was published in 1960, they may have been aware of it even before that. And that may have been the secret agenda of John F. Kennedy: race to the Moon, and be the first to make contact. There is evidence that the astronauts encountered something but were not allowed to speak about it to the public. Because since landing on the Moon, we have not gone back. WHY? How is it we are talking about colonizing Mars, and not setting up something more permanent on the Moon? Inside sources have said that were warned off from the Moon: and even before that, in 1958 a Yale professor said "our attempts to gain a foothold elsewhere may be rebuffed as a threat to other systems of public order." There is this conspiracy going around that the landing on the Moon was faked and we never went there. Main evidence is that a replica of the Moon was made in Langley Virginia and simulation video was taken there. Here is one video, and one can hear from the dialogue that the "astronauts"  who participated in it were quite upset:



My theory on that is that simulation video would only be used in case actual contact was made: that way the public could have a video where nothing happened. I don't question we went there, I question which pictures and videos released to the public are real, which ones are tampered, and which ones are from the simulation. It is this story which perhaps inspired the script for the movie Capricorn One.

I have seen possible bootlegged video from the landing showing structures on the Moon that were never released to the public. As I have blogged before, NASA has continued its behavior of tampering or censoring photos and videos before releasing them to the public to the present day.

The Brooking report for NASA discusses the possible reaction of the public to an extraterrestrial contact:

"An individual's reactions to such a radio contact would in part depend on his cultural, religious, and social background, as well as on the actions of those he considered authorities and leaders and their behavior, in turn would in part depend on their cultural, social, and religious environment."

In terms of religious viewpoint, the New Church - originating from the theology revealed to Emanuel Swedenborg - not only expects that there is other extraterrestrial life, but also that they will be human or humanoid in form, they will tend to be telepathic, may regard us with some disdain, live in some form on other planets in our solar system and other solar systems as well. In his visions at least one of them had a tendency to travel between solar systems to gather knowledge.

The Brookings report mentions a very positive impact to knowledge of extraterrestrial life: a greater unity between the governments of this world. Nations will tend to stop fighting each other:

"The knowledge that life existed in other parts of the universe might lead to a greater unity of men on earth, based on the oneness of man or on the age-old assumption that any stranger is threatening."

Conversely, if an extraterrestrial race has ulterior hostile motives, it would NOT want its presence to be known. Because a united world would be more capable of addressing any specific threat from space. Disunited, fighting against each other, makes it easy for them to infiltrate, divide, and conquer should that be their motive. So despite this positive benefit from such a disclosure, the Brookings report recommended "continuing studies" on how the public would react to such a disclosure. But should an extraterrestrial race be discovered to be hostile, we cannot afford to keep up this secrecy: it is a risk.

THE RECENT NASA REPORT ON EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT

The Brookings report is not only over 50 years old, it covered a wide variety of issues for space exploration, and extraterrestrial contact was mentioned only briefly. I discovered that in the year 2011 NASA did another study devoted specifically to extraterrestrial contact, entitled Would contact with extraterrestrials benefit or harm humanity? A scenario analysis.  It discusses the Fermi Paradox, which states that more intelligent life should have already been detected by now. The overriding assumption of this report, as well as the Brookings report, is that should the government detect or make contact with a more advanced extraterrestrial civilization it would tell us. There are scenarios where the governments (or intelligence agencies) would NOT tell the public. Those studies, which would discuss why not to reveal it to the public, would be classified. But I found one explanation as to why they have not been detected as quite revealing:

"The ETI [Extraterrestrial Intelligence] could be intentionally invisible. The intentional form of this solution is sometimes known as the Zoo Hypothesis because it implies that ETI are treating Earth like a wildlife preserve to be observed but not fully incorporated into the Galactic Club. This idea has been popularized through the Star Trek series as the "prime directive" for non-interference with a primitive culture. The Zoo Hypothesis thus implies that ETI could make contact with humans at any time. Perhaps such stealthy ETI will reveal themselves once Earth civilization has reached certain milestones. They may be waiting until we have reached a sufficient level of sophistication as a society such as the start of a METI  [Messaging to Extraterrestrial Intelligence] program or the discovery of light speed travel, or they could be applying a societal benchmark such as sustainable development or international unity. The possibility that the Zoo Hypothesis explains the Fermi paradox has several important implications for contact scenarios."

This "Zoo Hypothesis" I consider very plausible: because in the majority of UFO sightings they tend to be stealthy and try to remain invisible. But if the Zoo Hypothesis is true, if we are like animals in a zoo being observed unknown to us, then I would argue we have already reached a milestone: the invention and use of nuclear weapons. Because with nuclear weapons, we now have the capability of not only destroying ourselves but our planet, which they may consider to be their "zoo." And in many alleged extraterrestrial contact, this was the main reason for contact and intervention: the threat of nuclear weapons. I believe this contact has been made, but the reason that we still have the Fermi Paradox now is different: the government is hiding it.

Whereas the Brookings report concentrated on the beneficial aspects, this report divides extraterrestrial contact scenarios into three categories:

1. Beneficial
2. Neutral
3. Harmful

For the harmful category, the report divides that into "intentionally harmful" or "unintentionally harmful." It acknowledges that this is a bit simplistic, but it is useful for analysis. And then there is this statement:

"Although we cannot know the level of technological sophistication achieved by ETI, we do have a compelling reason to believe that ETI would be significantly stronger than us and therefore highly capable of causing our total destruction."

The reason for this is that our technological development and science is still quite young. So the NASA study admits an extraterrestrial race would be more advanced. So there is another conclusion that is very obvious which the paper does not mention: if they are more technologically advanced, and scientists obtained this technology, would the military disclose their presence to the public? Of course not. Not only would they not disclose it, they will make every effort to hide it. And that is the EXACT behavior I keep seeing in the way the various intelligence and military agencies respond to the public concerning UFO events. Technological superiority is essential in warfare. But the Brookings report stated that one outcome of disclosure is that it will remove the need of much unnecessary warfare, as it can help unite the planet and bring about a long lasting peace. Even so, there have been neo-conservatives in the past who would have considered this outcome detrimental, as wars are often initiated to achieve certain political and economic objectives.

The paper next discusses ETI ethics, which it then divides into "selfish" or "universalist." The paper then says:

"It is worth noting that the analysis in this paper is in a sense selfish in that it focuses on benefits and harms to humanity. Throughout this paper, we do not consider how contact with humanity could benefit or harm either the ETI or any other entities affected, including other entities on Earth and elsewhere in the galaxy."

And that is the major limitation of the paper: without considering possible motives or the agenda of the ETI, it is not going to come to a complete analysis of a possible contact scenario. Another point the paper brings up: an ETI can be homogenous or heterogenous. Humans are heterogenous, with different cultures and motives. For a heterogenous ETI, this means the motive of one group may not determine the motives for an entire group. If it is determined that an ETI race is homogenous, with no individuality but part of a collective similar to the "Borg" of Star Trek, then their general motives can be determined.

The NASA paper considers various scenarios of ETI contact, which is summarized in the following chart:

In the above chart, I would guess that the neutral ones which are always intentionally hiding are the most common. In terms of motive, I would call them the "tourists" or "observers." As I started to survey certain alleged contactees, with evidence that they are not a mere hoax, I discovered a few that I would consider the "cooperative extraterrestrial" type. These are quite interesting. However they are hard to verify: these for the most part human in appearance who can blend into the population, and in the few cases where I have seen direct evidence provided, the intelligence agencies come in and cover it up or discredit the witness. This I am still researching at the moment. But what has taken me quite by surprise is there is another type of ETI, or an ETI behavior pattern, which is definitely one we would consider hostile. As to their motive, the above chart does not list it, and they are very clever about hiding it. I could never figure out their motive until I discovered that sometimes the beneficial cooperative type of ETIs revealed their motives to certain contactees. As the military and intelligence communities are so intent on protecting the knowledge of extraterrestrial technology, many may be completely blind as to their motive. I suspect not all are so blind.

Returning to the NASA extraterrestrial study, unlike the Brookings report it states that the outcome of a disclosure is not quite certain:

"If ETI do exist within the galaxy, then confirmation of their presence would have profound implications for human science, philosophy, religion, and society. ...Some people might consider mere detection to be harmful to humanity. These people include those with religious perspectives and other worldviews that depend on the idea of humanity (and Earth-life more generally) playing a unique and privileged role in the universe. The detection of ETI could challenge these worldviews and therefore be perceived as harmful by those who hold such beliefs. However, this perception of harm depends on a philosophical mistake. The existence of ETI in the universe is independent of whether or not they have been detected by humanity. It is the existence of ETI that challenges such worldviews and not the act of detection."

Again, religion - probably a reference to the Christian religion - is brought up as a reason a known ETI presence would cause harm to humanity. Again, this has no effect on the New Church or New Christianity as revealed in the visions to Emanuel Swedenborg. The theology of the New Church is universal, whether one knows of the true identity of Jesus Christ or not. The theology explains why He had to be born of a virgin. It explains how other societies - including extraterrestrial ones - can be spiritual and reach heaven without a knowledge of the specific revelation of Christianity. Not only that, the extraterrestrial presence in our solar system is expected in the theology of the New Church. As it has corrected the errors that have crept into the Christian church over the centuries, there is no change in theology needed. Moreover, the angels told Swedenborg that without the coming of Jesus, the human race would have already been wiped out by the 18th century. Not just condemned to hell, unable to progress spiritually - completely wiped out. As to how that is so, He completely subdued evil temptation in His human body to the point where He subdued the influence of hell in the spiritual world. The influence of His spirit not only interacts with all of humanity, but the angelic realms, and other societies whether they are aware of Him or not. There are spiritual realms beyond this material one, and this NASA paper speaks of some beings in other dimensions which is mentioned below. The way I see it, the human race has an important role to play in the bigger extraterrestrial community. Our loss would have been their loss.

Another point of the above paragraph is revealing: it says mere detection is harmful. Not their presence, mere detection. What are they saying? What this shows is that there are some who believe that the mere revelation of an ETI detection is harmful, and consider themselves justified in hiding it. It perhaps shows that the authors are aware that certain agencies are currently hiding their presence. But the NASA paper gives another reason why detection should be hidden:

"More troubling is the possibility that detection could initiate or exacerbate conflicts in our society. The conflict could be over how to interpret or reply to such a discovery. There are already disagreements over how to message to ETI, whether or not we should, and who should speak for humanity; such disagreements would become much fiercer if ETI were detected."

In other words, if a nation which has made contact with extraterrestrials should disclose it, they would have to share their knowledge with other nations who don't have it. Sort of like a bunch of kids waiting in line to speak to Santa Claus: they all want to be first to tell Santa what they want. And if one kid is first, he would rather sit on Santa's lap and have everyone wait in line. And then he would pull on Santa's beard and show all the other kids that Santa Claus is a fake and does not exist. For the children: yes, Santa Claus exists, but he also keeps his presence hidden for reasons as of yet unknown. In fact, Santa Claus has been present here on earth since ancient times, there is a wall carving that proves it:

Rumor has it that Santa Claus came to planet earth after his planet Pluto was no longer habitable:

Even astronauts encountered "Santa Claus" when they went to the Moon:

BENEFICIAL EXTRATERRESTRIALS

For communication with "cooperative extraterrestrials" who are "sufficiently interested in humanity" I was very surprised when I found this statement in the NASA report:

"It is reasonable to assume that the general principles of physics and chemistry apply everywhere in the galaxy, even if mathematical descriptions of these physical phenomenon differ among intelligent civilizations. This type of dialog with ETI may require that we first develop a common mathematical language using physical observables that are known by both civilizations (such as properties of neutral hydrogen)."

Well what do you know. This NASA paper, published in 2011, is recommending the EXACT mode of communication of the NSA extraterrestrial radio signal. The exact same signal that the NSA put up on its web site in the same year - 2011. This method of communication was mathematical, and used the periodic table of the elements as the "physical observable." And the paper even suggests starting with neutral hydrogen - an element of the periodic table! THIS IS NOT NEW. IT WAS PUBLISHED IN A CLASSIFIED NSA DOCUMENT AS EARLY AS 1969. IT WAS FIRST PROPOSED AS EARLY AS 1953. Moreover, it says that the mathematical descriptions may differ. Again, that describes the NSA extraterrestrial radio signal: whereas we use base 10 in our mathematics, analysis indicates they used base 8. And they numbered the groups of the periodic table of the elements differently (actually, better than we do). See the following blog posts where I have been discussing this NSA extraterrestrial signal:

NSA Discloses We have made Extraterrestrial Contact
A Decoded NSA Extraterrestrial Radio Signal from Outer Space
The Origin of the NSA Extraterrestrial Radio Signal

What this reveals is a planned release of information...information that is 50-60 years older than what they already know. One wonders, WHAT ELSE do they already know which is discussed in a "theoretical" manner in this paper? It then says this:

"An advanced ETI may be capable of solving a great many of humanity's problems, such as world hunger, poverty, or disease. Benevolent ETI may even design their first message to contain information on how to avoid technological catastrophe in order to help less developed civilizations succeed. From humanity's perspective, this is the best-case scenario for ETI contact. However, while we suspect that the basic principles of physics and chemistry apply across the universe, it is somewhat less likely that ETI knowledge would be useful in addressing social issues on Earth."

According to Colonel Corso in The Day After Roswell, technological benefits reverse engineered from crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft has been secretly "seeded" into private corporations, without revealing the true source. I would not be surprised if it included advances in medical knowledge. This paper is "theoretically" describing what has possibly already happened. Moreover, it may be revealing what came next in an extraterrestrial radio signal after the periodic table was described...something probably still classified. It also describes a road block in the relationship with beneficial ETIs: the human race can be violent and selfish. They may not be willing to share information if it is used as a means for war. So the technological gap is not the problem. The problem is our spiritual and moral gap. It is the lack of spiritual ethics and way of living which will stop a beneficial ETI from making contact or giving too much information. And it may be forbidden for a beneficial ETI to influence our civilization in matters of religion: thus they cannot help with "societal issues." That is what this paper seems to be saying. What else? It says this:

"We do not know if ETI would be cooperative, but we have several reasons to suspect that they would be. ...a long-lived civilization that explores the galaxy may have transcended any aggressive patterns out of the need to maintain long-term survival. It is also possible that intelligent civilizations may inevitably develop cooperative tendencies as part of their evolutionary process."

The paper describes that these beneficial ETI races follow a sustainable mode of development, where they have no need to constantly expand. Is this "theoretically" describing a race we are already in contact with? Not sure...but there are some indications here and there.

It next describes the "uncooperative extraterrestrial" which may be harmful to humanity. It mentions a particular scenario from The War of the Worlds - a superior race is unable to defeat the planet because it succumbed to a deadly infection from ordinary microbes that are harmless to us. This is an important point. Suppose such an "uncooperative extraterrestrial" race existed, but it still seeks to expand into our environment. It knows it is vulnerable to the microbes in our environment. But the paper does not go into an obvious outcome of that scenario. What would happen if the ETI wanted to overcome the obstacle of the microbes and bacteria in our environment? This ETI race may start to engage in activities of medical testing and genetic engineering. Other scenarios are described: a direct confrontation between us and harmful extraterrestrials, as described in Independence Day. It then describes an alternate scenario should a conflict arise:

"A final scenario involves a second ETI learning of our situation and coming to our rescue, again leaving us better off than we were to begin with. Scenarios such as these might make for quality entertainment, but they also appear rather unlikely. Still, such contact scenarios are possible and thus worth including in this analysis."

This scenario is interesting. Because I have seen it described in certain contactee reports. However it is more like, "we will help you to help yourselves." The validity of this would be very hard to verify. It is strange territory: you have to weed out the hoaxes, depend on a witness, and there will be agencies always trying to discredit the witness. And then there are contactees, who let the situation get to their head and they go over the deep end. So I prefer going with this "theoretical" NASA report for now.

NEUTRAL EXTRATERRESTRIALS

For the neutral ETI, the NASA report says this:

"ETI could have the capability of hiding from us given the likelihood of their superior technology, and there are many ways that ETI could remain undetected by us if it chooses to do so."

The paper then mentions hiding out in the asteroids, as well as "eliminating all electromagnetic signals to hide any signatures of its presence." There is actually evidence of advanced cloaking technology: people have taken pictures of empty sky only to see a UFO after the picture was developed. Some UFOs have the ability to morph and change their appearance. For this I will mention something personal: there were three or more bobbing white UFOs, somewhat spherical, which were once hovering above a powerline tower in the park near our house. My sister and friend saw them. Probably detecting the observation, they then morphed into flying eagles. This was many years ago, and I did not believe it suspecting it was a joke. But they both insisted on it rather vehemently. Many years later, I again asked, "Was that a joke?" No, indeed it happened. There would be no reason to play a joke any more. I have recently seen videos of UFOs attracted to lightning storms, so I wonder if they were just sucking up the electricity from the power grid. The military is currently working on technology to bend light around an object so that it is invisible. I wonder where they got that idea from? Check out this video where they are now discussing experiments for cloaking technology:



Next the NASA paper mentions something odd:

"...ETI with even greater technological prowess could engineer a virtual planetarium surrounding Earth so that we are forced to observe an empty universe."

That is funny - if anyone is keeping us inside a bubble, it is NASA with the way they tamper or censor photographs before releasing them to the public. It is no wonder that the Vatican decided to purchase their own telescopes: they do not trust NASA. But in the far, far future, once science has advanced maybe a thousand years, technologies such as terraforming and altering the atmosphere to hide the surface of the planet may be possible. The paper does contain a reference to "environmental ethics in the context of terraforming Mars." And the focus of space exploration for NASA does now seem to be concentrating on Mars.

For ETIs that are unintentionally invisible to us, the paper suggests alternate life forms:

"Although it is common to assume that extraterrestrial life will most likely be carbon-based and require liquid water, there are a number of suggestions for more exotic configurations of life. These include alternative biochemistries based on alcohol solvents or silicon, a shadow biosphere that invisibly coexists with the life we know, pure energy beings that lack physical form, and even residents between multiple universes. In the same way, we may fail to notice ETI messages that are transmitted at a different wavelength range than we typically listen to."

The above seems to be straight out of science fiction. But here is another interesting point: it mentions a type of ETI that is spiritually minded, that is content with its life, and does not spend much effort in exploring other planets:

"It is also plausible that nearby ETI simply have no desire to communicate with us. Non-expansive ETI that pursue a sustainable development pattern may also find all the contentment and meaning they need on their own planet so that they have no desire for interstellar communication. They may have taken up transcendental spiritual practices that focus their efforts inward rather than outward, or they might limit their space exploration to passive interstellar probes."

The above passage is interesting, because I have seen a contactee claim which describes that exact kind of society. Spiritual societies will tend to follow a sustainable life pattern. Greedy societies will tend to follow an expansive life pattern - our modern society falls into this pattern. The ones that explore and make contact will tend to be more scientifically minded, rather than spiritual. Providing spiritual teachings may be forbidden, as that can be regarded as interference with a culture. I like the idea of "passive interstellar probes." As it is harder to sustain biological life forms in space, that may be the more common way of exploration for ETI races. Even we have started to resort to robotics for exploration. I may talk about evidence for these ETI probes later. They have been caught on video.

For ETI that are present but invisible to us, the NASA study does not mention one particular scenario: ETI that dwell underground, rather than on the surface. In planet hunting, our scientists are always looking for planets like earth in the "Goldilocks zone." The assumption here is that life is present only on environments such as ours. The other assumption is that life will be found on the surface. What may be missing here is that advanced ETI races may colonize other planets by establishing underground bases. They would not be noticeable. We have to acknowledge the scenario that such underground or underwater bases may be present on earth, and we would have no way of detecting them.

What about the gas giants of our solar system: such as Jupiter and Saturn? Science currently assumes there is no life there. The paper makes this interesting point:

"Remote observation of an ETI planet may also reveal strikingly different chemical compositions between their world and ours. ETI that originate from a gas giant planet, for example, may have followed a completely different evolutionary trajectory that leaves little room for biological similarity between us and them. Communication with such ETI may provide little useful information for humans."

For example? Is this just theoretical? As indicated by Sergeant Clifford Stone, certain government agencies do know the composition of other life forms which require a breathing apparatus in our atmosphere. And the only way to discuss them in public right now is in "theoretical" papers such as these. So far all I have been able to dig up are Cassini videos showing UFOs travelling back and forth from Saturn. See The Cylindrical UFOs of Saturn, and Emanuel Swedenborg. For Jupiter, U.C. Berkeley professor Burkhard Militzer as well as others are now predicting that Jupiter has a larger rocky core than we once thought - see Jupiter's rocky core bigger and icier, model predicts. Possibly as a result of this prediction, NASA has launched the Juno probe which will orbit Jupiter in the year 2016. Its goal is to map the planet's deep structure underneath the cloud layers. Right now science predicts that Jupiter and Saturn lack a solid surface. If scientists were wrong about water on Mars, how much other wrong information is being taught in our text books?

HOSTILE EXTRATERRESTRIALS

The paper mentions that the hostile extraterrestrial scenario has been the one that has been presented the most in science fiction. The most common scenario presented is the one where there is "intentional harm" and they simply want to take over the planet in direct military confrontation. The other "intentional harm" scenario is that they wish to eliminate us due to their ethical standards. They may consider us barbaric and primitive, and consider saving the planet more important than human life. The paper then quotes geographer Jared Diamond, who says that astronomers may be too optimistic about an extraterrestrial contact:

"The astronomers and others hope that the extraterrestrials, delighted to discover fellow intelligent beings, will sit down for a friendly chat. Perhaps the astronomers are right; that's the best case scenario. A less present prospect is that the extraterrestrials might behave the way we intelligent beings have behaved whenever we have discovered other previously unknown intelligent beings on earth, like unfamiliar humans or chimpanzees and gorillas. Just as we did to those beings, the extraterrestrials might proceed to kill, infect, dissect, conquer displace or enslave us, stuff us as specimens for their museums or pickle our skulls and use us for medical research. My own view is that those astronomers now preparing again to beam radio signals out to hoped-for extraterrestrials are naive, even dangerous."

Not all astronomers are naive, a few have expressed reservations. The risk is that any that we make contact with are likely to be far more advanced than we are. We have no idea about their agenda or motive. Stephen Hawking - likely to have been consulted on other subjects related to this matter - even expressed his concern about extraterrestrial contact. From Stephen Hawking: alien life is out there, scientist warns:

Hawking says that in a universe with 100 billion galaxies, each containing hundreds of millions of stars, it is unlikely that earth is the only place where life has evolved.

"To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational," he said, according to The Sunday Times.

"The real challenge is working out what aliens might actually be like."

Hawking says that they could be microbes – basic animals such as worms which have been on Earth for millions of years, but suggests that extraterrestrial life could develop much further.

"We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet," Hawking said.

"I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach."

For the hostile ETI, the paper says that an ETI is unlikely to travel interstellar distances just to come and eat us, as "they should have already solved these problems through some combination of machine labor, artificial synthesis, and conservation." But other selfish motives may exist. There could be some human trait that they find useful for themselves. It then quotes Shklovskii and Sagan:

"Or perhaps human beings have some relatively uncommon talent, of which they are themselves entirely unaware. J. B. S. Haldane once pointed out to me that sea lions and seals have a remarkable ability to balance a rubber ball on their noses, which is part of the reason we maintain them in captivity."

And then it makes this statement, a scenario which I consider more plausible:

"Similarly an ETI may simply be interested in using us as a means for growth of their economy. On an individual level they may not be interested in killing us, but may be interested in incorporating us into their civilization so they can sell us their products, keep us as pets, or have us mine raw materials for them. Such a scenario could be harmful or beneficial to us, depending on the methods they use to bring us into their society."

Harmful or beneficial? An initial contact may seem to our military to be extremely beneficial. But is it beneficial in the long term? That depends on the goals and the intentions of the ETI. What is their long range plan? While sustainable ETI are likely to be beneficial, an expansive ETI are likely to be hostile. Then there is another possibility:

"...it remains entirely possible for an ETI to be both sustainable and harmful. Such an ETI could be expanding as fast as happens to be sustainably possible, along a colonization wavefront as in the simulations of Newman and Sagan. Unlike the sustainable civilization described above, this maximally expansive civilization would be sustainable but still eager to consume all the resources of Earth and destroy humanity if we got in its way."

Next discussed is the universalist ETI race, which holds to a universal set of ethics of peace and harmony, but regard us as violent and barbaric and would see a need to interfere should we cause irreparable harm to their ethical values. Again the paper does not discuss the obvious: the invention and explosion of nuclear weaponry which could destroy the planet and many biological life forms. Would our biological diversity be valuable to them? Yes, I believe so. Our planet is very unique in its biological resources.

In terms of unintentional harm, the paper brings up the physical hazard that contact with an ETI could bring about a transmission of a disease to humanity that our immune system would find hard to resist.

"Introducing diseases have been extremely potent because the population receiving the disease has no prior exposure to it and thus no build-up of immunity. Indeed, disease introductions are blamed for loss of human life so widespread as to have altered the broadest contours of human history. If ETI could introduce disease to humanity, then the impacts could be - but wouldn't necessarily be - devastating."

There are a lot of scenarios for introducing diseases and the affects it would have on us. But the paper does not consider the obvious corollary scenario: an ETI race introducing a biological disease on the human race for intentional harm. If this was the goal of the ETI race, how would it proceed about introducing the biological agent? Medical testing and genetic engineering. Perhaps such an ETI would regard the human race as a pest that is destroying the earth they have been using as a resource for centuries. Or that the human race is having unchecked population growth - a population growth that our planet will not be able to sustain in the future. This indeed is a threat, so the paper discusses counter-measures, one is protecting the Earth's biosphere from the ETI biosphere. And then it mentions this:

"If prevention fails and ETI disease is contacted, then treatment may be aided by information about the biology of ETI and other organisms in their biosphere. Perhaps such information could be used to develop vaccines or other countermeasures. However, our experience with novel diseases on Earth, such as novel influenza strains, suggests that it takes much less time for a disease to spread than for us to find a cure."

Interesting. Research into extraterrestrial life forms and their biosphere. Reminds me of...Michael Wolf perhaps? But why is this NASA paper picking out influenza as a particular example for a possible extraterrestrial disease scenario? The influenza epidemic struck worldwide in the year 1918. This appeared suddenly across the world, had no single point of origin, and killed millions of people worldwide. More Americans died of influenza that all the wars of the 20th century combined: 600,000 people dead. Across the world: 50-100 million people dead, or 3-5% of the world population. It was the first appearance of the H1N1 influenza virus, which targeted the immune system of young healthy adults. And then I discovered this: there is research studying the possibility that the influenza virus has an extraterrestrial origin: see Influenza 1918, A Venus Connection? It states that a recently released standard for American history includes no mention of this flu pandemic:

"The recently released "National Standards for United States History" published by the National Center for History in the Schools does not include any mention of the 1918 flu epidemic."
"For the survivors we spoke to," says producer Robert Kenner, "the memory is one of horror and fear--which may explain why many Americans were willing to let those few terrible months fade into obscurity. Schoolchildren know more about the Black Plague from centuries ago than they do about this episode in our recent history."

Venus has no magnetic field, so during an inferior conjunction the Solar Wind could blow off its atmosphere and it could head right to earth, as shown in this diagram:

There is astronomical evidence from a British observatory which indicates this. Perhaps the position of Venus was coincidental. It quotes a NASA article, All the World's a Stage ... for Dust. If this is true, then perhaps our first extraterrestrial contact is from 1918...a virus. And perhaps the upper atmosphere of Venus bears microbial life forms. This idea comes from a Time article on 21 Feb. 1944 entitled Flu from Venus?, mentioning the research of Professor Louis Backman of Uppsala. Is this why this NASA article is talking about protecting the Earth's biosphere from an ETI biosphere? The "biosphere" of Venus perhaps? There is a NASA study that indicates that the upper atmosphere of Venus is quite earth-like, in the future we may be able to colonize it using floating cities. What a bizarre theory - Venus has life in its atmosphere? There was another flu pandemic in 2009, and recent estimates indicate that as many as 579,000 people died from it worldwide.

Next the NASA paper discusses a possible "Information hazard" from extraterrestrial contact. A harmful ETI may release false information to the public. The paper does not delve into this in detail, but the danger here is that the human population, not knowing what is true or false, would likely believe the ETI messages over the government. Such as...they created us.  Such as...they implanted a human born of a virgin here 2000 years ago. I don't know, I am just guessing.  Conversely, the governments may send out false information about a discovered ETI that is beneficial or neutral and tell the world that they are hostile. Also, due to compartmentalized information in top secret projects, one group of the government may regard an ETI as beneficial, and a completely separate group of the government would regard them as harmful due to lack of information sharing. How are we to know? There would be no information available due to the secrecy over the past 60 years. The NASA paper does acknowledge that the analysis is very limited, due to our very limited knowledge concerning ETI races. It also acknowledges that impacts on non-humans should be an area of future research.

CONCLUSION

The NASA paper has two recommendations. One is, our attempts to contact extraterrestrials should be cautious until their intentions are known. The Arecibo message included information concerning our human biology. It then says this:

"...details about our biology, though seemingly harmless, may actually help certain ETI to cause us harm. A malicious ETI listener may use a message about human biology to design a potent biological weapon for use against Earth. Since these messages will ultimately be sent toward unknown ETI, we cannot know whether or not they might be received by such a malicious ETI. Therefore, caution is warranted."

This may be alarmist. We also need to consider other reasons why they would be interested in human genetic material. Medical and genetic testing does not automatically mean that ETIs are hostile. They could have other interests. These would include:

1. Using our human genetic material as "star seeds" to colonize other planets.
2. Cloning humans to operate in our environment. See An Extraterrestrial Prophecy.

The second recommendation is that humanity should stop "giving off the appearance" of being a rapidly expansive civilization. I don't know why it is saying that: we are a rapidly expansive civilization. The paper does not address this, but to correct this, we need to change our values. There needs to be a shift away from materialism to a stronger spiritual form of ethics. It is spirituality which provides the answer, not technology: technology can be used for both good or evil. It depends on who has it. It is not just about increasing the economic output each year - we have need to have regard for the planetary eco-system. A capitalist economy is expansive by definition. We need to switch to sustainable economies. The paper states:

"If an ETI perceives humanity as such, then it may be inclined to attempt a preemptive strike against us so as to prevent us from growing into a threat to the ETI or others in the galaxy. Similarly, ecosystem-valuing universalist ETI may observe humanity's ecological destructive tendencies and wipe humanity out in order to preserve the Earth system as a whole."

So, the matter of extraterrestrial contact is very complicated. There are many reasons why certain things cannot be revealed (directly) to the public. The reason why I am bringing this up is I have uncovered evidence of the hostile kind of ETI, or a hostile kind of ETI behavior. But I want to make it clear that this kind of behavior should not be taken as an example of all contacts - there could be many ETI races observing us now. That the U.S. Government may regard a certain ETI as a threat, I discussed earlier in The Secret UFO War.

One last point, the paper ends with this statement:

"Two anonymous reviewers provided helpful feedback on an earlier version of this article. Any remaining errors are our own."

Anonymous??? Why so, anonymous?

Clairvoyant Telepathic Dreams, and Dolphins

Occasionally we all have dreams that are precognitive or clairvoyant in nature.  The spiritual side of us allows us to know things that go beyond our senses.  Many do not experience this due to their selfish or material desires, or their conscience blocks it if they are living a sinful life.  Sins block this, but love opens this up.  A read a book on a professed psychic named Paul Solomon - although Christian, some of his teachings involve reincarnation and there are many spiritual New Age teachings that promote this. There is evidence that in certain hypnotic states memory of past lives can be retrieved, which is commonly used as evidence for reincarnation. Thus many ancient religions, as well as eastern religions, have this belief. But this is not the case. For the origin of these memories of past lives, see The Origin of the Soul, Reincarnation, and the Collective Unconscience, as well as Life After Death, and Reincarnation. Swedenborg is the only one I have seen to give a definite rational answer on this topic - it involves a communication that is constantly occurring between the spiritual world and our mind - but most who have these brief experiences cannot discern the origin of them, and thus develop teachings based on that which are not entirely true. Such is the case with Paul Solomon. I read a book on him in which the CIA came to him and were interesting in studying psychics for espionage purposes. When asked who do they want to spy on, they responded that they would like to spy on the KGB. Paul Solomon responded, if you want to spy on the KGB, you must learn how to love them. They definitely did not like that answer: love your enemy? They were trained to always work against the KGB. This was an answer they could not accept, and left. Rumor has it they did eventually develop a Remote Viewing program that was highly successful. So maybe they listened after all.

"UNBLOCKING" THE GUILT IN ONE'S CONSCIENCE

So why did Paul Solomon say that love was the key to telepathy or clairvoyance to the CIA?  Is there any validity to that - if you show love or an interest in another person, will you begin to pick up on their thoughts? The answer is yes, if you mind is sufficiently unblocked. That is, what you call your "conscience" - which is in reality a higher level of the mind - has no guilt. The way to unblock that is to change those matters in your life which you know is wrong. Since many ignore their conscience, or are locked in their own self interest, they will not experience these kinds of dreams, but will instead experience thoughts which are mere reflections on their own life. In the spiritual world, Swedenborg encountered a set of spirits of both sexes, who sought all their life to gain power over others all their lives, or considered themselves "better" or "superior" than others and only sought to use them. They wondered why God would not hear their prayers:

They reasoned with me about the Lord, and said that it was strange that He did not hear their prayers when they prayed, and thus did not render them aid when they supplicated. But it was given to answer them that they could not be heard, because they had for their end such things as are contrary to the welfare of the human race, and because they pray for themselves against all others, and that when they pray in this manner heaven is closed; for they who are in heaven attend only to the ends of those who pray. These things they would not indeed acknowledge, but still they could answer nothing. (Heavenly Arcana, n. 4227).

So those who think about themselves all the time, are not going to see anything, and will think that clairvoyant dreams are figments of one's imagination. Some even get to the point where they deny any such a thing as "conscience." So what is Emanuel Swedenborg's definition of human "conscience" - that part of you that tells you what you have done is wrong? One's conscience is formed based on religious and parental teachings in one's childhood, and one's reception of those teachings. Conscience is not just comprehending the truth: it is willing and doing it. The more one acts, the more one's conscience is strengthened. Moreover, there are two levels of conscience: one for the sake of love towards others, and a higher one for the sake of love towards God:

The conscience which is with those who are in charity toward the neighbor is the conscience of truth because it is formed by faith in truth; but with those who are in love to the Lord, it is the conscience of good because it is formed by love of truth. The conscience of the latter is a higher conscience, and is called the perception of truth from good. They who have the conscience of truth are of the Lord's spiritual kingdom; but they who have the higher conscience, which is called perception, are of the Lord's celestial kingdom.
Let examples, however, illustrate what conscience is. If one has in his possession the goods of another without the owner's knowledge, and can thus keep them without fear of the law, or of the loss of honor and reputation, if he still restores them to the other because they are not his own, he has conscience; for he does good for the sake of good, and what is just for the sake of justice. Or one who is able to attain an office, but knows that another, who is also seeking it, would be more useful to his country, if he gives place to the other for the sake of his country's good, he has a good conscience; and so in other cases.
From these things it may be concluded of what sort are those who have not conscience. They are known from the opposite. For example, they who for any gain whatever make injustice to appear as justice, and evil to appear as good, and the reverse, these have no conscience. Neither do they know what conscience is; and if they are instructed what it is, they do not believe it, and some are not willing to know. Such are they who do everything for the sake of themselves and the world. (New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrines, n. 135-137)

You cannot just do good for sake of appearance: it is one's internal intention which determines if an act is good or not. Spiritual life, and one's life after death, is determined by one's conscience: for it is your own conscience which will judge your deeds and determine where you go. But why am I talking about conscience and not clairvoyance and telepathy? Here is the reason: spiritual life and thought flows into every human being through their conscience:

The influx of angels is especially into the conscience of man, where is the plane into which they operate. This plane is in the interiors of man. Conscience is twofold, interior and exterior. Interior conscience is of spiritual good and truth; exterior conscience is of justice and equity. This latter conscience is given at this day with many, but the interior with few. Notwithstanding, they who enjoy exterior conscience are saved in the other life; for they are such that, if they act contrary to what is good and true, or contrary to what is just and equitable, they are inwardly distressed and tormented — not because they suffer loss of honor, or gain, or reputation thereby, but because they had acted contrary to good and truth, or to justice and equity. (Heavenly Arcana, n. 6207).

It is important to develop a life according to one's conscience, formed by the truths that they know, in this life. After death, it is too late:

They who have not received conscience in the world cannot receive conscience in the other life. Thus they cannot be saved, because they have no plane into which heaven may flow and by which it may operate, that is, the Lord through heaven, and lead them to Himself. For conscience is the plane and receptacle of the influx of heaven. Wherefore such in the other life are consociated with those who love themselves and the world above all things, who are in hell. (Heavenly Arcana, n. 9122).

BEYOND CONSCIENCE, THERE IS SPIRITUAL "PERCEPTION"

Within the human psychology of the soul there are several planes of spiritual development, which are described in detail by Swedenborg in Heavenly Arcana. Conscience is one plane that most people are familiar with. Many are not - those who try to act for selfish ends will tend to deny conscience altogether - not only deny it, but will tend to hate and destroy it in others. But there is a plane beyond conscience, on a higher level, which is called spiritual perception. You might say that intuition, empathy as well as telepathy and clairvoyance dwell at this level. When you empathize with a person, in these states you can stand in their place and experience what they experience, and pick up their emotions and thoughts. This empathizing can take place in dreams, where you stand in the place of another. Whereas those who have conscience have an affection for truth, those who have perception have an affection for love itself. And this is why love is the key - that is why Paul Solomon told the CIA you must learn to love the KGB. In these kinds of states. Not only that, you have to suspend somewhat the rational or analytical side of your brain. Which is why I though it was significant that in Remote Viewing techniques, there  is a "viewer", a "guide" and someone who may take notes. The "viewer" must always suspend any analytical thought: once you analyze the thoughts that are coming in, the flow immediately stops. Thus when Swedenborg speaks of spiritual peception, it is an inward kind of perception, where one immediately knows that something is true. There is no rationalization or debate about what is true or false: such a debate or even questioning will terminate the perception. Females often have this kind of inward perception since they pay more attention to it, and that leads to frustration with their partner who may say it must be based on "facts" not "feelings". What many do not realize is that there are ways of knowing that are not derived from our five senses; this is called perception. Thoughts are revealed especially when one has empathy for another person.

TELEPATHIC THOUGHT IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

There is a hidden influx from the spiritual world into all living things, in humans there is a spiritual soul that survives after death. In the spiritual state, all communication is by thought, this also takes place through perception:

The second kind of perception, as was said, is what is common to all, in the highest perfection to angels, and to spirits according to their quality. It consists in knowing what another is as soon as he comes near, even if he says nothing. He manifests himself forthwith by a certain wonderful influx. It is known of a good spirit, not only of what goodness he is, but also of what faith; and when he speaks, this is known from every word. Of an evil spirit it is known of what evil he is and of what unbelief; and when he speaks, this is known from every word, and so manifestly that there can be no mistake. ...This communicative perception has its beginning in this, that the Lord wills that all things good may be communicable and that all may be affected by mutual love and so be happy. Hence such perception reigns universally also among spirits.
Souls that have come into the other life have wondered that there is such communication of another's thoughts, and that they knew immediately not only of what disposition another was, but of what faith. But they were told that the spirit receives much more excellent faculties when it has been separated from the body. In the life of the body the objects of the senses flow in, and also fantasies from those things which thence inhere in the memory; besides anxieties for the future, various lusts excited by external things, cares for food, clothing, place of abode, children, and other things, of which they take no thought in the other life; wherefore on the removal of these obstacles and hindrances, together with the corporeal parts that are of gross sensation, they cannot but be in a more perfect state. The same faculties remain, but much more perfect, clearer, and more free; especially with those who have lived in charity and faith in the Lord, and in innocence. Their faculties are immensely elevated above those which they had in the body, at last even to the angelic faculties of the third heaven.
Nor is there a communication of another's affections and thoughts only, but also of his knowledge, to such an extent that one spirit thinks he has known what another knows, although he had no knowledge of such things before. Thus there is a communication of all the other's knowledge. Some spirits retain what is thus communicated, and some do not.
Communications are made both by conversation with one another, and by ideas together with representations; for the ideas of the thought of spirits are representative at the same time, and by this means all things are set forth in great fullness. They can represent more by a single idea than they can express by a thousand words. But the angels perceive what is within, in the idea, what the affection is, what the origin of the affection, what its end; besides other things that are interior. (Heavenly Arcana, n. 1388-91)

This kind of telepathic thought, which is universal in the spiritual world, is possible while we are living if the spiritual mind is opened. It is based on love - but why so? The spiritual world lies beyond space and time:

All going from place to place in the spiritual world is effected by change of state of the interiors, so that change of place is nothing else than change of state. In this way also I have been conducted by the Lord into the heavens, and likewise to the earths in the universe, and this as to my spirit, while the body remained in the same place. In this way all the movements of angels take place; hence they have no distances, and if not distances, neither have they spaces, but instead of them states and their changes.
As changes of place are made in this way, it is evident that approximations are similarities as to state of interiors, and that removals are dissimilarities. From this it follows that those are near to each other who are in similar state, and those at a distance who are in dissimilar state; and that spaces in heaven are nothing else than external states corresponding to internal. It is from this cause that the heavens are distinct from each other, and also the societies of each heaven, and the individuals in each society. From this likewise it is, that the hells are entirely separated from the heavens; for they are in a contrary state.
From the same cause also, in the spiritual world one appears in presence to another, if only he intensely desires his presence; for thus he sees him in thought, and presents himself in his state; and conversely, one is removed from another so far as he is averse to him. And because all aversion is from contrariety of affections and from disagreement of thoughts, it comes to pass in that world, that several who are in one place are seen by one another so long as they agree, but as soon as they disagree they disappear. (Heaven and Hell, n. 192-194).

"Space" is thus determined by similarity of affection and thought: the closer two souls are together, the closer they will appear. Representations of space and places in the spiritual realm is determined by one's internal state. Birds of a feather flock together - as souls congregate, they form their own realm of light - and these are what are known in scripture as the stars of heaven. The physical stars of heaven are a symbolic representation of this spiritual reality, for all things that are physical is a symbolic representation of what is spiritual. This is the spiritual explanation for telepathy and clairvoyant dreams - for this spiritual world existed before the physical one, and there is a constant influx of this spiritual world into all living things.

A CLAIRVOYANT DREAM ABOUT DOLPHINS

Whenever I have or hear about a clairvoyant or precognitive dream I sometimes will blog about it if I think it is interesting or significant for others. I know a particular person who is quite sensitive in these matters, who can often pick up my thoughts in their own dream before we meet. The dreams on other matters are quite accurate, and probably this person could be a psychic to give answers if the focus was applied - I can vouch that the accuracy of the precognitive or clairvoyant dreams have taken place hundreds of times. In the first dream which took place a couple of days ago, it was a dream concerning a family with three children. The father decided to leave his wife. There was extreme anger and pain, of course, on the part of the wife. One of the three children was a girl, and the breakup between the father and mother had the most effect on her. I was asked if this had anything to do with me? No, it had nothing to do with me, I knew of no family with three children that was experiencing a divorce. It was that day I decided to do more research on Michael Wolf - of questionable credibility or background - which I had discussed earlier in The Extraterrestrial Science of Dr.(?) Michael Wolf. I discovered some information concerning him which was stated in a court document concerning the divorce of his parents. They had three children...one was a daughter. It was then I realized that this dream was describing details about Michael Wolf's family - BEFORE I knew about it. Although I did not know about the divorce, where both parents eventually remarried, other people who read about the blog entry did at the time of the dream. I won't go into this dream in its particular details.

That is one thing, but the second dream was another. In this dream, I was up further north, sleeping in a small place near the coast. This area was close to Canada. The land did not have much vegetation, and very little land could be seen - most of what was seen in this dream was water. And in this water, there were a lot of dolphins, swimming and jumping in the air. There was also a lot of fish. I was told to wake up, pay attention to the dolphins. This other persons was interested in the dolphins, and thought I was not interested in the dolphins. I was asked again, does THIS dream have anything to do with you? I could not believe what I was hearing - this person who had this dream had NO IDEA I recently started to do research concerning dolphins. So why did I start researching dolphins? Michael Wolf said in his interview that the extraterrestial beings commonly known as the "grays" are related to dolphins in an evolutionary or genetic sense. I told this person I indeed started to research the intelligence of dolphins, but did not explain the extraterrestrial aspect of it (which, needless to say, typically does not come up in everyday conversations over a cup of coffee). This kind of thing has happened many times, but it always continues to surprise me.

It does not confirm what Michael Wolf is saying (more on his other "theories" later in this blog), all it demonstrates is that with dreams you can pick up other people's thoughts. I would recommend everyone to try and start remembering their dreams, write them down, and analyze them. Sometimes you will be surprised at the amount of information which comes through. For those who have not unblocked their conscience, it offers a good method for self-analysis as one works through the symbolism. So for example, if you see a person sleeping in a dream, it means that person is unaware of something, there is more to be known, there is more that can be done if you get up and take action.

Here is the soundtrack from The Day of the Dolphin again, which I had posted before that person had the dream:

An Extraterrestrial Prophecy

An earlier post, The Extraterrestrial Science of Dr. Michael Wolf, was perhaps over the top.  A bit too unbelievable...  a genetic engineer who claims to have cloned a human, long before scientists cloned Dolly the sheep. Working with alien greys in underground bases, confirming other accounts of certain abductees and abductee researchers. I will be honest, I have trouble believing everything he is saying. So lets do this, lets check up on some facts. He talks about autistic children and children with down syndrome being healed, or improved, in the presence of dolphins. I have never heard of that. Well that treatment happens to exist: it is called Dolphin Assisted Therapy. Whether it is valid or not I have no idea. But perhaps we should think about that before we decide to do an abortion on a human fetus that is known to have down syndrome. For a miraculous healing of a young mentally ill woman who was taken off of life support, see The Light of an Angel caught on Video Tape.

What about genetic engineering? Exactly how far has science gone in genetically engineering our food, our animals...and perhaps even humans?  Science has become very advanced in this area. Genetically engineered foods are already here.  And what is the warning Dr. Michael Wolf say? He warns about the drop in human fertility rates, and the growth of fertility clinics. And he does not say in the interviews why he gives this warning. Well check out this following clip: the government (the FDA) has already extensively approved of genetic engineering, without the people's consent. And what do studies show? Studies show that animals who eat genetically modified foods show a drop in fertility rates, and become infertile. We have already heard of genetically modified vegetables. Check out the following clip, showing just how far science has gone in altering the genetic code of biological living things on this planet. The threat is very real, and it is already here:



And a gene has been discovered - the Epicyte gene, owned by Dupont and Monsanto: all you have to do is eat it, and it will render humans infertile:


So ignore the extraterrestrial phenomenon for now. Genetic engineering is here. Science has the know how to clone animals and modify them. Genetics will be the expanding science of the 21st century, and the government is pushing it. And the threat to our children, our future generations, is very real. It is no wonder the profits for Dr. Michael Wolf's book go to a children's foundation. Check the labels on your foods, if you can't go organic, avoid the ones that add the growth hormones. Really, FDA, get your act together. Imagine the health care cost savings if we clean up our food supply. If you travel to other countries outside the U.S., notice the difference in the taste of food: without the added hormones, the food size is smaller, and the taste is no longer watered down. It is those added hormones which cause children to reach puberty at a younger age, and have other health side effects.

AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL PROPHECY

I would like to note to everyone that I had no plans for this blog to take this side route into UFOs and extraterrestrials. I was planning on just covering dreams, spirituality and prophecy. However Emanuel Swedenborg, to his surprise, encountered them in his visions, and unless people acknowledge the fact that we are undergoing extraterrestrial visitation, people will tend to ignore all of Swedenborg's spiritual insights just for this reason (and still, hardly anyone knows about him). Studies show that the more educated people are about the matter, the more likely they are to acknowledge that not only do they exist but have already found us. And it is not recent, it has gone on for millenia. There has been an escalation of activity since the explosion of the atomic bomb. Perhaps 90% of sightings can be explained away. But there is always that 10% that cannot be explained by our own scientific knowledge or technology. But that has been endlessly discussed for over 50 years. I want to move beyond that. Why are they here? And do they have any messages for us? Tell me, if any government made contact with an extraterrestrial race, whose technology was 10,000 years ahead of ours, would they make it public? Of course not. We are too busy fighting against each other.

Let's return to Dr. Michael Wolf. In his book, he makes an interesting claim. From The Revelation of Dr. Michael Wolf on the UFO Cover Up and ET Reality:

During one afternoon in 1990 an ET craft, escorted by F-16 fighters, landed on Puerto Rico, in a busy tourist area. The ETs stepped out and walked amongst the populace. Dr Wolf said, "It was an exercise to test the public reaction." The Mayor of this island wrote a letter to Bush stating, 'At first we were amused by all of the sightings but then people became distressed. What do I tell them?' The President passed this communication onto Dr Wolf. "It was stamped all over with the words T52-EXEMPT (E) which means this letter can never be declassified."

Verification of secret projects in underground bases is impossible. But verification of a UFO sighting among the general populace should be easy. Either this happened, or it did not. You cannot hide something that was witnessed by the general populace. So did this happen? Yes it did. Not in 1990, but on the morning of May 14, 1988. But I believe the following interview was conducted in 1991, when perhaps more people became aware of it:



So why does Dr. Michael Wolf get the date wrong?  In a work of fiction, you can only reveal classified matters by altering the names, places and/or dates. Amaury Rivera (sometimes spelled differently) managed to photograph a disk followed and circled by three jet fighters. Normally UFOs pull away from jet fighters. This one was being escorted. Here are the photographs:

So how can the U.S. government not know? Of course they know. They know a lot more than what they say to the public. Or even to the U.S. President for that matter.

Not only that, Riviera claims to have had contact with the occupants of the UFO. Some of them were the typical alien greys (or alien grays), but one was human who spoke in perfect Spanish who said he was from a another planet. He then showed Rivera some holographic projections showing his planet and the future. Two main things were shown for the future of our planet earth:

1. A meteor or asteroid will strike the earth in the near future causing havoc across the world. It is going to fall near the Caribbean, Puerto Rico and other small islands. (Scientists now know this has happened in our distant past - one fell in the Yucatan Peninsula, perhaps wiping out the dinosaurs.)
2. There will eventually be one world government over all of planet earth. It will be centered on some artificial island, floating in the middle of a "dark, black, dirty sea."

So, are they any other prophecies that declare that this will happen in the future?  Yes.  For the asteroid striking earth, that was predicted long ago by Hildegard von Bingen in the 12th century A.D. I lend more credence to her account because she predicted the advent of the Protestant Reformation, and stated the reason why it occurred for the Catholic Church. Here is some of what she says concerning the future:

"The time is coming when princes and people will renounce the authority of the Pope. Individual countries will prefer their own Church rulers to the Pope. The German Empire will be divided. Church property will be secularized. Priests will be persecuted. After the birth of Antichrist heretic will preach their false doctrines undisturbed, resulting in Christians having doubts about their holy Catholic faith."

"Toward the end of the world, mankind will be purified through sufferings. This will be true especially of the clergy, who will be robbed of all property. When the clergy has adopted a simple manner of living, conditions will improve.

"A powerful wind will rise in the North carrying heavy fog and the densest dust by divine command and it will fill their throats and eyes so they will cease their savagery and be stricken with great fear. After that there will be so few men left that seven women will fight for one man, that they will say to the man: "Marry me to take the disgrace from me." For in those days it will be a disgrace for a woman to be without child, as it was by the Jews in the Old Testament.

"Before the Comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scoured with want and famine. The great nation in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent by an earthquake, storm and tidal waves will be devastated. It will be divided, and in great part submerged. That nation will also have many misfortunes at sea, and lose its colonies in the east through a Tiger and a Lion. The Comet by its tremendous pressure, will force much out of the ocean and flood many countries, causing much want and many plagues. All sea coast cities will be fearful and many of them will be destroyed by tidal waves, and most living creatures will be killed and even those who escape will die from a horrible disease. For in none of these cities does a person live according to the laws of God.

"Peace will return to Europe when the white flower again takes possession of the throne of France. During this time of peace the people will be forbidden to carry weapons and iron will be used solely for making agricultural implements and tools. Also during this period the soil will be very productive and many Jews, heathens and heretics will join the Church.

I took this from Prophecies of the World.  It is obvious that the United States of America is "the great nation in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes."  The U.S. is lawless in the fact that it is turning away from religion and becoming increasingly secular, where people live according to how they please, and not according to any spirituality. An asteroid hitting the Atlantic will create giant tsunami that will effect the eastern seaboard of the United States. A portion of it will become submerged - perhaps this is why the extraterrestrial prophecy shows a one world government on an island. It will be after these events an Antichrist leader will come, concerning whom Nostradamus makes the most number of prophecies. When looking at supposed prophecies, always check the prophet's track record. Nostradamus has an excellent track record - this is documented in my book, The Decoded Prophecies of Nostradamus, which discussed fulfilled prophecies from the 16th century to the French Revolution. I have not published the second half of it yet which deals with the future, but I would like to discuss one of them now concerning that "island" on which is established a one world government. There is something similar in some of the quatrains of Nostradamus:

The great round mountain of seven stades,

After peace, war, hunger, inundation,

It will roll far engulfing great countries,

Even ancient ones and of great foundation. (I-69)

The trembling of land at Mortara,

Tin islands of Saint George half sunk to the bottom,

Drowsy peace will awaken to war,

In the temple at Easter abysses ripped open. (IX-31)

The tin islands of Saint George is the United Kingdom. What about an island with a one world government? See this one:

The aimless army will depart from Europe,

Joining near the submerged isle:

The fleet of “Arton” will fold the phalanx,

Navel of the world substituted by a greater voice. (II-22)

The above describes the disbanding of NATO, and a reorganized military government "near the submerged isle." How do you like that. It is a very gloomy future presented here. Again, nothing in the future is predetermined, prophecies can be abrogated or mitigated through changes in our spiritual free will: they are warnings. How prophecy can be changed through changes in our free will, by acknowledging our own faults and changing our ways is presented in the book of Jonah. I recommend using the following wall paper for your computer background to encourage more positive thinking:

Returning to the Puerto Rico sighting of 1988. In the above interview investigative journalist Jorge Martin is interviewed, who talked to several other witnesses. He mentions a "Morris" case ( he is talking about Maury apparently) who was also abducted, who saw a human and the alien greys. The alien greys explained to him that the human extraterrestrial was a genetically engineered being to do chores for them so they do not have to risk themselves in our environment. [Correction: The human explained that the alien greys were genetically engineered beings that do chores for them in foreign environments so they don't take any risk in our environment. See comment below -DW] It is no wonder that Dr. Michael Wolf is pointing this out. That's the purpose of abductions: it is a hybrid interbreeding program making use of our genetic DNA. I have not discussed the phenomenon of alien abductions, but there is plenty of information and research out there. I even discovered there are abduction support groups. Because they have no one to talk to. It is just an unbelievable story. At 5:05 in the video, it is explained that the jet fighters escorting the UFO were U.S. F-14 Tomcats. The same UFOlogist was able to gather independent witnesses who also had contact with the aliens and had no knowledge of Amaury Rivera. This same alien contacted many people across south-west Puerto Rico, and independantly verified some other information that Maury Rivera did not reveal in his interview.

I found this blog AMAURY RIVERA TORO'S ABDUCTION of someone who claimed to have met Amaury Rivera at a UFO convention in Las Vegas in 2005. He was still very frightened to speak. She comments:

What makes these photos so unique is the afct that they show an F-14 Tomcat in pursuit of the craft. There are no other photographs in the public domain that show an alien spacecraft and a military aircraft in the same single exposure of film.

Given this, it is no wonder that Mr. Rivera Tora has been harassed and had his home searched from top to bottom by Government agents looking for the negatives and photographs of this spectacular event. What they didn't know, after ransacking the home, was that Amaury had pasted the pictures inside the dog house under the roof. The feds never found them.

OTHER SIGHTINGS IN PUERTO RICO

Puerto Rico is apparently a hotbed for UFO activity. It is an island that is not independent, but is a U.S. territory. Here is an article from the San Juan from the year 2007:

Puerto Rico hosts the Arecibo radio telescope which sent out a message to extraterrestrials via radio signal, and is involved in the SETI project. Now, in addition to the May 1988 sighting of Amaury Rivera, there was another sighting by the same journalist in December of 1988, this time involving a triangular craft - which split into two separate craft (also described by Dr. Michael Wolf). There were a 100 witnesses to this event.  See the following video (the interview of Jorge Martinez starts at 1:03):



For other evidence concerning UFOs watch the whole video, but I don't want to repeat all of that here. I found a witness to the event - his name is Alan Caviness, who worked for the U.S. Navy, who confirms that the U.S. Navy did lose two F-14 Tomcats. See Military Encounter with a UFO. Jorge Martin, the investigative journalist, published a more detailed account of the incident of December 1988, who describes the account of a contactee who states that there may be an underground UFO base in Puerto Rico. See A UFO BASE BENEATH THE SIERRA BERMEJA RANGE IN S.W. PUERTO RICO?.  I include this one because it does not seem to have been covered up with memory loss and no hypnosis was required to recover it. They explained they have been there a long time, and do not want to leave. So it is no wonder contact increased - underground nuclear explosions may affect them. According to the witness, one of the taller greys said this:

“He said that what they want is to be able to sort of inter-relate with us totally, at the social level, mingle with us, but that our Authorities don’t want that. He insisted that I should tell the people outside all this, that they don’t want to conquer us or do us any harm.

This may explain the attempt at public disclosure of their presence earlier in 1988. I am still not sure about their intentions. 

Here is another video interview of investigators on these sightings in Puerto Rico. One of them says the U.S. Military became very worried as they are able to penetrate our air defenses at will, and at one time they visited every single site that has a nuclear missile:



Sightings of UFOs in Puerto Rico continue, even up to this very year.  I can easily include 10 more videos of sightings, but the one from 1988 is the most significant as it involved direct contact.

UPDATE (3/29/14): THE PREDICTIONS OF DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN

In 1974 Dr. Carol Rosin came into contact with Dr. Wernher Von Braun (1912-1977), a famous German rocket scientist for the U.S. space program. He developed the Saturn V booster rocket to get men on the moon in 1969. Wernher von Braun was very concerned over the weaponization of space. In order to weaponize space, Wernher von Braun told her that enemies would be invented in order to accomplish this goal. The enemies that would be created would be:

1. The Russians, the enemies at that time
2. Next, third world countries, rogue "terrorist" nations
3. Next, there would be an asteroid threat,
4. And finally, an invented threat against extraterrestrials

This ties in with this post as an asteroid collision is indeed predicted by several sources. Note how Wernher von Braun's prediction came true: after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we went to war againt Iraq and started the "war on terror." This plan has stalled in Syria, but the final target in this plan is Iran. And now, note the recent NASA programs for intercepting an asteroid, deflecting an asteroid, and even private companies have expressed an interest in "mining" of asteroids. And when this is done, the U.S. will finally reveal the presence of extraterrestrials, but only to invent yet another cause for war and the development of space weapons. For when there is war, we pour more money into the military for the next generation of weapons. Even more remarkable, Dr. Wernher von Braun said back then that we had non polluting energy technologies, meaning that these wars for oil are completely unnecessary.
