Richard Dolan — Radio Interview on UFOs and the National Security State_Part II

• RICHARD DOLAN at the Project Camelot Awake and Aware Conference, 19 September 2009, talking about his important new book: Volume 2 of UFOs and THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE.
• Richard M. Dolan was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1962. He holds an MA in History from the University of Rochester and a BA in History from Alfred University. He earned a Certificate in Political Theory from Oxford University and was a Rhodes Scholar finalist. Prior to his interest in anomalous phenomena, Dolan studied US Cold War strategy, Soviet history, and international diplomacy.
• UFOs and the National Security State is a historical narrative of the national security dimensions of the UFO phenomenon from 1941 to the present. Included are the records of more than fifty military bases relating to innumerable violations of sensitive airspace by unknown objects, demonstrating that the US military has taken the topic of UFOs seriously indeed.

Russia Is Making Flying Saucers

• Russia’s latest endeavor to produce commercial grade lighter-than-air aircraft seems a little strange. The “aerostatic thermoballasted vehicle” from Locomo Sky looks like something straight out of a 1950s UFO movie. The flying saucer shape isn’t just for show though, it helps the aerostat travel through the air with a minimum loss of energy to air resistance. According to their press release, Locomo Sky has started building a construction facility in the Ulyanovsk region of Russia to create a fleet of the aircraft. These airships, more commonly called Locomoskayners, are already used in geographical surveys. That version of the craft has a 1000kg (2200 lbs) carrying capacity with a crew of 2-8. Locomo Sky is hoping to build a huge version of the Locomoskayner that would have a 600 metric ton capacity or even carry 11,000 people. The company presented this idea recently to President Dmitry Medvedev, reportedly with good results. With millions already invested, it seems possible that Russian skies may be filled with flying saucers hauling cargo very soon. It sounds too wacky to be true, but it is.

two new re-released papers from the great Vallee:

• on the probabiliity of extraterrestrials
• the dynamics of long term growth

Like Joe Stack and Amy Bishop, J.Patrick Bedell’s story goes deep into the weird. After Coleman’s mention of Bedell’s reading habits and interests he goes on to make the very important note of the ridiculous politicizing and right wing co-option of the shootings:

• Wikipedia appears to have already taken down Bedell’s self-authored page; however Bedell’s web footprints are being gathered by some rightwing bloggers who are trying to tie Bedell’s actions to a bizarre brand, in their thoughts, of “liberal” mindset (e.g. here, here, and here).

(via thedaytheytriedtokillme)

• The Ministry of Defence will destroy future reports of UFOs to prevent them from being made public, a memo has revealed.
• The British UFO investigation unit and hotline were closed at the start of December. Since then reports have been kept for 30 days. It means that details of sightings will be exempt from freedom of information laws. The memo said that an increase in reports had diverted staff from “more valuable” defence-related activities. The MoD had 634 reports of sightings last year, the highest total since 1978.

Thanks all for your answers, and certainly feel free to continue answering. To review what has been:

awkwardscott answered: The canopy theory. Although religious and pretty much debunked, it’s a cool explanation for the Biblical flood and prior life

If nothing else, something like canopy theory would tie in well with our friends at Kook Science’s work studying Zermatism.

ledgergermane answered: reptilian alien agenda. there are some interesting ways to look at it, if you read it metaphorically along w/ sagan’s triune brain models.

BSRF has not dealt much in the more modern “reptilian” alien theories (Crabb’s “Flying Saucers on the Moon” may be close)… though TJ Constable did some study of sky creatures and Ashtar Command.

Mystery X answered: We all “died” a long time ago. But our brains are preserved in a jar being fed false random life templates over and over …

Brains in a Jar may have trouble fighting against the Great Alarm, but all hope is not lost …

brenico answered: Primary perception, which is, loosely, presensory biocommunications.

We’ve done work in the past (and wish to continue in the future) with biodynamic communications, which links directly to primary perception. This theory had its hey-day back in the 70s; even Stevie Wonder was in on the action, composing a soundtrack for The Secret Life of Plants.

ikipr answered: Wave-particle duality. All this shit is hackable with frequency and all the terms for subtle energy fail to include bleed between bandwidths.

Liber Tek 2.0 is where it is at, yeah?

lushlight answered: Lushlight plc hopes to be offering this glorious aid to those who wish to join him in the quest to remove colour from our daily lives- live in the tonal glory that is black white and gray. The Stereo Depolychromascope will be available shortly- keep following developments via the Lushlight blog.

We’ll keep our eyes open, but we are also swayed by the Scientific Order of Spectro-Chrome Metrists.

ubu507 answered: hollow earth

And, surely, vril-ya?

indigodreams answered: can’t find same image, but this sure looks like her~http://www.shakespeares-sonnets.com/Reynolds1.htm, referring to our image in the previous post (and also the subject of this one), Lieutenant Joan Harrington (Antonia Ellis), S.H.A.D.O., from the TV series UFO.

Maybe this needs to be a regular feature. Thanks again for all your answers, and see you out there on the Borderland!

“The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to an event that resulted in the deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural mountains on the night of February 2, 1959 … The lack of eyewitnesses and subsequent investigations into the hikers’ deaths have inspired much speculation. Investigators at the time determined that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot in heavy snow. Though the corpses showed no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue.” (Wikipedia; photo via)

Dyatlov Pass Incident is one of the strangest, spookiest unsolved mysteries, ever. Another link: Fortean Times.

Creepy stuff. State secrets and UFO phenomena intertwined again.

Depiction of alleged configuration of Die Glocke

Die Glocke (German for “The Bell”) is the name of a purported top secret Nazi scientific technological device. The only source for this is the books of Polish aerospace defence journalist and military historian Igor Witkowski, which claim it to be a secret weapon, or Wunderwaffe. The topic has been popularized by Nick Cook, Joseph P. Farrell and conspiracy theory websites, associating it with Nazi occultism and antigravity or free energy research…

The device is described as metallic, approximately 9 feet wide and 12 to 15 feet high with a shape similar to a bell. It contained two counter-rotating cylinders filled with a substance similar to Mercury that glowed violet when activated, known only as Xerum 525, it has been speculated to be Red mercury. When active, The Bell would emit strong radiation, which led to the death of several scientists and various plant and animal test subjects…

Farrell states:

The Bell was considered so important to the Nazis that they killed 60 scientists that worked on the project and buried them in a mass grave and the only reason we know about the Bell is that the SS General that was tasked with the murders, Jakob Sporrenberg, was tried after the war by a Polish War Crimes court for murdering his own people on what subsequently became Polish soil. So it’s his Affidavit that gives us the story of the Bell.

What might have happened to The Bell, had it existed, were it to have been evacuated out of Germany is unknown, however there has been some speculation: Witkowski speculated that it ended up in a Nazi-friendly South American country, Cook speculated that it ended up in the United States as part of a deal made with SS General Hans Kammler and Farrell speculated that it did not reach the United States until it was recovered in the Kecksburg UFO incident. (Others have speculated that it ended up in the secret Nazi base in Neu Schwabenland, Antarctica.)

That translucent blob (previous post) looks more like a sky creature / biological UFO than it does an ether ship…

We’ll get back to you after we review this “Quick and Dirty Intro to Sky Creatures and Etheric Critters”.

• Final proof that Mars has bred life will be confirmed this year, leading NASA experts believe. The historic discovery will come not on Mars itself but from chunks of the red planet here on Earth. David McKay, chief of astrobiology at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre in Houston, says powerful new microscopes and other instruments will establish whether features in martian meteorites are alien fossils.
• He says evidence for life in the space rocks could have been claimed by the UK if British scientists had used readily-available electron microscopes. Instead, images of colonies of martian bacteria were collected by American scientists.
• The NASA team is already convinced that colonies of micro-organisms are visible inside three martian rocks that landed on Earth. If so, this would have profound implications for our understanding of life in the universe.
• Two of the meteorites - ALH84001 and Yamato 593 - were found in the Antarctic by American and Japanese scientists after they lay in the icy desert for thousands of years.
• But of special interest is a meteorite that fell in many chunks at Nakhla, Egypt, in 1911. Most of the fragments ended up in London’s Natural History Museum.
• The stones are known to be from Mars because gases trapped inside them match those in rocks examined by probes on the red planet. They were blasted out of its surface by asteroid impacts and then drifted around the solar system for millions of years before falling to earth.

• (CNN) — James Cameron’s completely immersive spectacle “Avatar” may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.
• On the fan forum site “Avatar Forums,” a topic thread entitled “Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible,” has received more than 1,000 posts from people experiencing depression and fans trying to help them cope. The topic became so popular last month that forum administrator Philippe Baghdassarian had to create a second thread so people could continue to post their confused feelings about the movie.
• A user named Mike wrote on the fan Web site “Naviblue” that he contemplated suicide after seeing the movie.
• “Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it,” Mike posted. “I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’ “

(Makes me think of the William Shatner SNL skit at a Star Trek Convention. He addresses the throngs and says “I know many of you have come out miles just to be here and I want to say..GET A LIFE. Will you people? For crying out loud, it’s just a TV show.”)
