News Briefs 17-12-2008

This is my last gig for 2008, I hope you’ve enjoyed the mind-expanding ride. Don’t get off just yet, I hereby make a new year’s resolution to bring you more book reviews and interviews in 2009. Until then, have a hopeful Christmas and a brave new year.

Thanks Kat, Ross, and the elves.

The ecomony is f***ed.

  1. Linda Moulton-Howe presents evidence the U.S. shot down an ETV
    So the Roswell saucer was brought down by the Military with anti-aircraft artillery, huh?

    That resembles a lot the plot of 1996’s TV series Dark Skies.

    Howe received Kissner’s manuscript in 1994, the same year it was published. I wonder if it was read by the NBC writers.

    It of course makes some sense to the reluctance of the US Government in accepting that what crashed in 1947 was something other than a weather or a target balloon. To publicly accept there was a policy to shoot down ET at the risk of interplanetary war? That wouldn’t fly well with the public or other nations.

    But it also complicates other things. If there was this policy of shooting the discs on sight, then why weren’t the men in the Roswell AFB aware of this? Why did they wait until they were contacted by the Chavez County Sheriff that Mac Brazel had found some weird stuff on the ranch he tended to?

    Also, how do we explain the event now called ‘The Battle of Los Angeles’? They fired many rounds of anti-aircraft shells to that UFO, and according to the witnesses the object was unaffected. So some saucers are weaker than others?

    This ‘shoot-them-down’ policy may be disinformation; or maybe there was such order, but the idea that discs were effectively brought down by the Military might have been included to confuse investigators. In any case, how do we prove it?

    1. UFOs
      Why is it that Unidentified Flying Objects are quickly assumed to be extraterrestial, while Unidentified Floating Objects are not? Or Unidenfied Submerged Objects (there are lots of those), or even Unidentified Driving Objects (lots of those too) ?

      It is not how fast you go
      it is when you get there.

      1. Hmmm
        Well, many UFOs are not flying per se, some are floating in a leaf-like manner, others appear static, and others are called UFOs even if they are landed on the ground —should we add ULO to the mix? 😉

        But yes, the first priority of UFOlogists should be to make clear to the public, that when you’re talking about these things nobody knows what they are or where they come from, and the ET hypothesis is just one of many possibilities.

  2. robots and DARPA
    As far as I know DARPA does not do any research, they just pay for it. Apparently the Register believes differently.
