Happy Fathers Day – ExoNews TV has arrived! [June 16, 2013 – ExoNews TV] Nearly every day we hear news that we are not alone in this vast universe. Scientists are confirming the existence of exoplanets in the habitable regions of their suns. Scientific opinion has shifted from outright skepticism to curious optimism that extraterrestrial [...]
On Google Earth one can find two large entrances that extend below the Antarctic surface and ice near the coastline. For some observers, they are natural caverns formed over time by the intense Antarctic weather conditions. Not so according to Scott Waring owner of the popular UFO Sightings blog. In a post released yesterday, Waring [...]
Review by Giorgio Piacenza Cabrera This book is a comprehensive source for individuals who think that sufficient evidence merits acceptance of the premise that intelligent extraterrestrials are already interacting with humanity and who are already asking what an appropriate, democratic, political response might be (even if an unsupervised “shadow government” maintains negotiations, exchanges and de facto agreements [...]
Exovaticana is both an informative and dangerous book. Informative insofar as the authors, Chris Putnam and Thomas Horn, provide extensive scholarship into the history of the Catholic Church and its evolving position on extraterrestrial life. They claim that the Catholic Church has begun a global dialogue on extraterrestrial life where Pope Francis I will ultimately [...]
A photo of what looks like a squirrel or rat on Mars first released in September 2012 suddenly became a hot topic after Fox News covered the story on May 29. Fox was quickly followed by Discovery News, International Business Times and other major news outlets. It appears that the mainstream news is interested in [...]

By Giorgio Piacenza What extraterrestrial civilizations would be most convenient to contact as friends and allies of humanity? Should “Apunians” be high on the list of a citizen’s contact initiative? Individuals currently claim they are contacting these helpful ETs. However, I also conducted the following interview in Lima, Peru in 1994 while Vlado Kapetanovic Bulatovic [...]
A photo from the Mars Curiosity Rover reveals what appears to be a small animal or lizard on Mars.

I agree with Dr. Michael Salla. This is the begining of a new phase in Exopolitics. It’s time to become more active in Galactic Diplomacy. At the Citizen’s Hearing on Disclosure (which took place at the National Press Club in Washington, DC with high professionalism, honor, heroism and quality) the former U.S. congressmen and consgresswomen that [...]
This was around 1961 in North Hampton New Hampshire. I was with my cousin walking towards my aunts house (an old schoolhouse across the street from a cemetery.) We were at the edge of the driveway, it was dusk, we looked up and saw a grey lead metallic colored disc shaped object right over our heads. Next thing we were walking into the house and had lost an hour in time. I don't know how I even new this. Years later I saw my cousin (we had lost contact for 30 something years) and reminded her of the event. She remembered it but not me being there with her. She said it happened several times to her but not with me.
I remember reading the Barney and Betty Hill account in Life Magazine in later years that took place in Exeter, NH, A town close to my encounter. I used to stay in at my Aunts when I was young. I used to have nightmares every night and my aunt and uncle would tell me I was screaming. I said it was coming to get me. Not sure what this means.
As a child I used to hear a pulsating noise coming to my window at night and I would hide under the covers until the noise would fade away. If it was real the whole neighborhood would have been up and outside. My brother said he saw a UFO coming in his window in the next bedroom. He doesn't remember any of it today. I still remember it because it happened on occasion in the house I grew up in. I used to get really bad nosebleeds. I've always felt I may have been abducted. My next door neighbor used to tell my mom she saw UFO's in the sky. Anyhow, every so often I think about it and when I see shows on tv it brings me back. I think I've read every book about UFO's and sometimes wish I didn't know anything about them. But the fact remains that I did see that one in New Hampshire close up and will never forget what it looked like or how it affected me. Okay, so I'm rambling. I am watching Alien mysteries and it made me come here and unload some memories.
My brother-in-law,Frank Tobias, who is now deceased about 15 years, told me he saw a flying saucer. The only detail I remember is "it was dripping". I saw the Denise Murter story on TV again and her details of the sparkly stuff falling reminds me of what Frank told me. I have no other details, but I thought you should know about the "dripping".
I was sitting out having a smoke and saw a circle I passed it off as a bird because their wings dont always show up at high altitudes but as soon as I thought that it disappeared like a whomp lol disintigrating. It was coming from the west and heading southwest but disappeared. I thought it was a light trick on a bird so I waited for a while and nothing showed back up. I was feeling wowed and noticed it wasn't like the usual ships I see around here. lol I am feeling tired and its an hour later. I didn't lost sight of the object it just disappeared. How do explain that? Cool stuff! XD I swear I didn't call those ships in! No communications with it either. This photo isn't it but its the closest picture that fits the description.
I was at home and went out to my front porch to smoke after a 1 1/2 hr. nap. The sky was very clear as it had rained earlier and all the stars were out. I'm a stargazer and in Seattle the opportunities to 'gaze' are fewer. I was orienting myself to the 3:00 am sky from how I saw it earlier. I was facing West over the top of my house. I saw several random spark-like flashes in the sky. I have previously seen high flying jets which had intermittent strobe flashes, but there were no jets in this case. I also saw what looked like the whole sky flashing as if there were lightning storms out of sight, but where I was, there were no clouds.
I stared at what I thought was a planet about 10 degrees above my chimney, Jupiter like in size..thinking what planet is that? After 3 or 4 seconds it suddenly took off heading South. I was astonished! As I followed it, it slowed way down, almost stopping, changed direction upward, then became dimmer star-like, and continued South. Watching it change directions gave me a rush of goosebumps. I was able to follow it visually for close to 15 seconds, until I lost sight behind trees, While I was watching it, I became awared of a bright, (again what I thought was a planet, light through holes in the tree foilage in my left peripheral vision. After losing sight of the first object, I trained my attention to this object only to realize that it was also moving, and going toward the one I had just lost sight of. It was travelling East to West, and just like the first one, it was Jupiter-like in size. I ran out into my yard to keep it in view. After 4 or 5 seconds, it went from bright to dim, and continued West, being in view for aprox 12 seconds. I went in to note the time and grab my binoculars.
I stood out in the yard watching. The Big Dipper was low in the NW sky
Suddenly I saw a bright flash South of the Big Dipper and saw an obect travelling North toward the Dipper. I saw another like object coming toward it at an angle very fast, then slowing and matching the first one's speed and direction. When the second one slowed down it emitted a brilliant red-orange flash. They travelled along and then through the stars making up the handle of the Big Dipper. I watched for some 25 seconds with binoculars until they both dimmed out of sight due to distance. I saw a number, maybe 4 o 5 random spark-like flashes in the sky, and called it quits when clouds began to move in. The sky was lightening towards the dawn.
Would rather not write to much more, It has always been my grandfather and I's secret. since his passing, i feel alone with this now. He always said... Don't tell your Grandmother:>) I think she already knows. I am telling my story now because i feel (them) now more than ever. Grandpa and I witnessed this because you were not allowed to smoke in the house. we would stand out back and watch the sky's every night.
West Chester, PA. July 4th, 2013, Approximately 10pm.
I was out in my backyard with my 21 year old son. We were just hanging out enjoying the evening when I saw an odd flicker in the western sky. I got up from the table and watched it get closer. Because of the date and the flickering, I thought it was a rogue firework. As it got closer it appeared to be a delta shaped object in the sky (shape determined by light placement). I said, "What the hell is that?" My son got up and we both saw the object silently move directly above where we were. It was hard to tell how high it was. There were red lights on each corner, and, incredibly, the starboard, aft corner was completely engulfed in flames (so we didn't see a red light there). We watched it as it went from west to east, holding altitude, until it was out of sight behind trees and buildings(about 2 minutes). The fire we saw on the corner was not something small or in the form or shape of a fuel propellant; it was like watching a house on fire.
I checked for reports initially of any aircraft experiencing such an event, but found nothing, and didn't really look into it any further.
We never reported what we saw, until now. I just keep thinking how strange it was, and decided to finally share the event.
I was sitting in my car parked on a small car ferry crossing from mainland (Strawberry Point) across Hale Passage toward Lummi Island, Washington. The night sky was crystal clear, and I was marveling both at how incredibly calm and glassy the Sound was and that I could even see the stars reflections in the water. I'd never seen the water so calm there, especially to be able to see the stars reflecting in it, so i got out of my car and stood at the railing as the ferry slowly left Strawberry Point and chugged toward the island's landing dock (I'd guess it only goes 10mph or so). About one minute out, I saw what I assumed were two lights on a car (one white the other red) across the water rounding a bend on Haxton Way, the road that curves along the southern tip of the Lummi Indian Reservation (across Hale Passage from Lummi Island) approximately 3/4 mile from the ferry. I guessed I was seeing one headlight and one red running light on a car, close together, but they weren't following that curve in the road I was very familiar with. And because I could see those lights' star-like long reflections in the calm waters, I continued tracking them awhile. But when the lights moved beyond the end of that small peninsula, and carried on out into the strait between the mainland and small island just off it across Portage Bay--can't recall name of that island, its the Lummi tribe's sacred island off limits to non-tribe members--I knew they weren't from a car of course. As the ferry got about halfway out on the 6 minute crossing, I began to assume I was seeing the running lights on a Lummi fishing vessel. But even over the sound of the ferry's engine I normally would be able to hear a fishing boat's engine from that distance, approx. 3-500 feet by now. The two lights, a white one with a red one right next to it, continued on--perhaps just a few feet over the water--and so, still unsure of I exactly what I was tracking, I waited for this "boat" to cut across the many long, narrow reflections of house lights on the reservation's shoreline shining across the absolutely flat, still Sound water. I was waiting for those reflections to be interrupted and stirred about, which a boat's wake would do. But when these two lights--which appeared now to be moving faster than any fishing boat could, and I thought I might be seeing some fast harbor patrol boat or such speeding out toward open waters--crossed paths with those house light refections and DID NOT alter them in any way, the hair on my neck stood up. It was impossible. At this moment a man waiting in the car behind mine jumped out to the railing, he was seeing the same thing I was, and we exchanged silent shrugs, hands up in air etc as if to say 'what was that?' I then next saw the red and white lights pair moving so fast, just over the water and curving northwest beyond Strawberry Point and out toward sea and out of sight past the northern tip of Lummi Island, that I let out a loud gasp and 'what the f--k' exclamation. I expected the other guy to reply, but he just shook his head and quickly got back in his car without saying a word. Having seen another unexplained light phenomena on Lummi Island the year prior (I just posted that sighting to MUFON earlier)--and having zero explanation for ANY boat cutting across those house lights reflections without a single ripple in said reflections, its completely impossible--I was absolutely sure I'd just seen a UFO. When the ferry reached the Lummi Island dock, I asked a ferry worker directing traffic off the boat if he'd seen those lights. At first he just gave me a weird look, but then he said 'Lots of odd things happen over here' as he waved me to drive on up the landing's ramp. I was of course stunned by all this, driving my car up the road and pulling off at the first pullout I could find with a clear view of Hale Passage to look for more lights, etc. I must've sat there looking for an hour, trying to digest what had just happened. Will never forget it. It was 9 years ago--I just heard about MUFON on the radio so just now reporting--but, especially writing about it now, it feels all the more vivid in my mind. Thanks for running a place like MUFON...
Having just left a weekly discussion group meeting along Constitution Ave on Lummi Island WA, approximately 1/4 mile from the island's general store and ferry crossing dock, I turned right on Constitution when I saw a red glowing orb-like light, perhaps 3-5 feet in diameter, hovering 5 feet above road level about 75 feet ahead of me. At first it appeared stationary and I thought it might be some odd glow from a house light, but as I accelerated west on Constitution it began moving ahead of me in apparent unison/speed with my car now up to 20 mph. This 2-lane road cuts through thick, tall trees and passes just one house for approximately 1/4 mile before a 90-degree right turn--and its very dark on Lummi Island--so once I'd passed that house (and its one porch light) I knew this red light orb couldn't be attributed to any manmade light or reflection. It continued ahead of me on the road, its red light glowing into the trees it passed, for perhaps 20 seconds when--still about 75 feet ahead of my car--it followed the road's path taking a sharp left turn and disappeared behind the trees at that corner. The red glow of its lights increased there, leaving a short trail in its path and bathing the trees on both sides of the road perhaps halfway or further up those tall Douglas firs. I accelerated to that corner to try and re-establish visual contact, but it was gone by the time I made the turn which is about 50 feet from the entrance to The Tree Frog Farm's entrance gate. Throughout this experience I felt that rush of excitement combined with fear that I might be seeing non-human, at first unsure but then fear rose and goosebumps up my spine when I saw that not only was it moving, but apparently tracking my speed as it kept the same distance from my car down the road. I wondered if it was possibly the light on the back of very fast bicyclist, or single tail light of a car driving with its headlights off--but when it made that sharp left turn and accelerated like no bike or even fast car could around that corner, I knew it was something else. And that stunned me. I stopped my car well past Tree Frog Farm, where the road cuts through a clearing beside a field about 1/4 mile from my cabin, when I realized I'd lost the red glowing orb. My thoughts raced, and I wondered if there could be any connection between this light's appearance and the fact our discussion group had just been talking about the possibility of UFOs on Lummi Island. One member had been describing her experience of living there many years before when the Navy had actually dived to investigate a famous UFO sighting (it had dived into the waters just south of Lummi, I believe back in the 60s or 70s. I will never forget that experience (and another I had on LUmmi a year later, which I'll detail in next submission here). Sorry I'm just now reporting it 10 years later, but I just now heard of MUFON on Coast To Coast recently and thought I should mention it.)
Driving tractor and trailer sounth in PA. Looked up and saw object hovering over mountain top. About that time other Truckers where heard on CB chatting about seeing the same thing. The object was quite a distance away but was still very visible. So actual size was very big. Not sure exact location however it was close to the Allegheny Tunnel.
I was on a low hill at the intersection of Pine and N. Yale. I was delivering newspapers at around 4:00 AM (+/- 20 min) on January 7, 1962 (+/- 7 days, best estimate). Because of a previous sighting from this location appx. 3 weeks previous, I stopped again when I was at this location, to look around just in case I saw another.
I was looking Southward. I noticed what I at first took to be a meteor igniting in the atmosphere at high altitude, perhaps entering the atmosphere at 15,000 or so MPH, or faster. It was glowing bright white when I first saw it, and it quickly began to glow much brighter as it descended from about 25-30 degrees above horizon to only three or four degrees above. It descended at an angle of about 75-80 degrees from east down to west. This was at an approximate distance of 8 miles to the south east: 8 south, 1 east. As the object descended it "gradually" (given the high speed) slowed until coming to a complete stop at an altitude of (at the estimated distance) of 5,000'. It remained therefor perhaps 10-15 seconds, gradually losing brightness until half apparent brightness. It then moved suddenly, going eastward at an apparent speed at that estimated distance of one mile in 2 to 2-1/2 seconds, or perhaps 1500 mph. I lost sight of it as it simply dimmed out of view approximately five miles eastward of where it had stopped after descending.
Billy Meier
In 1958, Billy Meier predicted the Iraq Wars, AIDS and global warming. Is it the biggest hoax or... the most important story in human history?
You'll find the startling answer in this remarkable, true-life story about how a young Swiss boy's meetings with extraterrestrials would eventually lead him later in life through dozens of countries, meeting many famous world leaders -- including Saddam Hussein -- in order to fulfill ancient prophecies.
This one-armed farmer from Switzerland has taken hundreds of the most startling photos in UFO History and has even filmed what he refers to as "Beam Ships" used by sentient beings that hail from a star system near the Pleiades. He has been able to produce photographs, film footage, sound recordings and even metal samples as evidence of his visitations.
You'll be captivated by how in his twenties, "Billy" Eduard Albert Meier was transformed into "The Phantom" (a real life combination of Indiana Jones, Lawrence of Arabia and Han Solo) and by packing a .44 Magnum was able to apprehend serial killers and mass murderers. Meier's life story is an enigmatic journey that ultimately culminates with him becoming the messenger for an advanced race of beings know as the Plejaran.
Their message is clear: earth is in trouble, the people have been asleep, and we must make drastic changes or there will be devastating consequences for all of mankind.
Is this story real or too incredible for us to grasp? You must decide for yourself, but if it's a hoax, why has Meier been the target of 21 assassination attempts? Could it be that the message that humanity so desperately needs to hear is not welcome by many of our world leaders?

Witness Statement: I was setting up my new telescope and was aiming it at a bright star to my east when I noticed another object almost identical to a star but unbelievable bright. It was moving across the sky at an even pace,I aimed my viewfinder at it and saw it clearly as a bright white ball of light.it was moving faster than a plane but had no trail.i saw it pass over a flying plane and it was much higher.i live near a flight path but this definatly wasn’t a plane.i see planes all night.also after this object passed I noticed there were no planes in the area for at least an hour.might be nothing but it seemed very strange.

Witness Statement: I had no real intention of reporting this sighting,until however a spate of similar and remarkable reports being made over the past 10-12 days which i simply can not fail to notice,or ignore for that matter,likewise for the benefit of other like minded people Il’d add my recent account. Glancing across the south western skies,making my turn for home whilst walking the dog,a bright object grabs my attention,30 deg of the horizon with all the characteristics of a star and yet not,to bright a little to large, placement a bit odd,standing still,peering intently waiting for some kind of conclusion,some resolve to set my curiosity at ease,i begin to detect movement slightly to the left at first then seemingly away from me,then all of a sudden,simmultaneously two other lit objects appear much, much smaller like two fireflies in comparison somewhere to the left and below and of a similar distance,within 2-3 seconds both had disappeared, with my mind on auto pilot i tracked one whizzing of to right heading in a northerly direction in a kind of arch fashion course and vanishing with incredible speed then glancing back to my original view i catch a glimpse of the second firefly veering away from me and arching straight up and gone.Now my focus falls back to the bright star like object,which is unmistakabely moving in my direction as the seconds tick by and its approach draws nearer its appearance alters and yet i am unable to pick out shape or form due to its incredible brightness almost dazzling illuminous glare,at this point watching for about 20 seconds it begins to turn to its right slowly and i am able gauge its speed , with a more overhead view its altitude becomes more apparent,the more it turns the more it reveals,what looks like a fusalage then what i can only describe as wings are seen if only momentarily,behaving not unlike an airliner and not dissimilar in size and speed at a height of may be 8-10 thousand FT, possible a little less, the bizzare thing is that at no point was i entirely convinced this was a plane,no noise,no tail section, the whole thing constantly emitting a bright white silvery glow.As the object completed an almost 90 deg turn and headed south it reverted back to its star like appearance and for a further 15 seconds i watched it fade out of view.I hope this may be of some use to read,as for me i am more in the dark than ever i guess i am waiting for the real mind blowing event.

Witness Statement: White light, initially thought it was a satellite until it passed beneath a passenger plane, made a curved motion through the sky until it followed a straight path towards easy. Moved extremely slowly, no flashing lights. I live on the flight path to Manchester and there was no mistaking this definitely was not a plane. First sighting so a little freaked!!

Witness Name: Rob
Witness Statement: I was with my brother watching a movie early hours of this morning, we decided to go into the garden for a cigarette. It was a very clear night I looked up into the sky and I could see what looked like a star moving very quickly travelling to the north at very high speeds. There were no flashing lights on it, it was just one solitary bright white light, I knew it was not a plane because it was travelling much too fast and made no noise. I discusses it with my brother we thought it might be a satellite but do satellites move that fast? I\’m not sure. About 45 mins later we went out to have another cigarette and saw a similar thing only this time the object was heading east a very high speed. I then saw an aeroplane and pointed out to my brother how much slower the plane was going and that you can see the flashing lights on the plane. I\’m wondering if anybody else witnessed this and/or could offer an explanation as to what they might be?

Date of Sighting: July 22nd 1983
Time: 10.13 pm
Witness Name: David M
Witness Statement: I drove home from the Fairford Air Tattoo and parked my car in my house in Swindon. Something caught my eye and I looked up to see two bright orange lights very high in the sky. As I watched another orange light joined the first two to make a triangle of lights. The lights accelerated and disappeared. I thought they were Red Arrows’ jets returning to base. I knew a RAF air traffic controller at nearby Lyneham air base so next morning I rang him and asked if the Red Arrows were being stationed at Lyneham. He said they were not so I asked him if he saw anything while on duty the previous night after the Air Tattoo. (They were in charge of perimeter air traffic control). He told me there was only the normal ASCs on the radar screens that night. I found out ASCs (Alternative Space Craft) is the nickname for fast moving UFOs that they report in the sightings Blue Book. I asked for the cloud ceiling for the night of the sighting and did some basic trigonometry to calculate the speed of the craft which were well above the thin Cirrostratus cloud and took 22 seconds to cross about 18 miles of airspace. The result was 26,000 mph.

Influence of Extraterrestrial UFO’s in the History of Mankind-1
Extraterrestrials, Unidentified flying objects, Aliens and
non-conventional evolution theories have been viewed with distrust over
the centuries. However, multiple proofs exist that there interaction
with the human race over the ages influenced us in one way or another.
The first part of the article discusses the extraterrestrial influence
in ancient texts, carvings as well as Egyptian and Indian culture.
Numerous ancient stone carvings, rock paintings, and mysterious monuments throughout the world hint that extraterrestrials
(E.T.s) may have visited this planet in the distant past. Granite
carvings in Hunan, Asia, for example, show human figures gazing into the
sky at hovering, cylindrical objects on which other people are
standing. These look much like today’s UFO reports. The only problem is,
these carvings are dated around 45,000 BC! Petroglyphs in Toro Muerto, Peru, show figures with large transparent helmets. These rock carvings are dated at about 11,000 BC. On the Tassili plateau in the Sahara Desert
are sculpted rock figures, also with large, round heads, like helmets.
These statues date back to around 6000 BC. Figures carved into rock in
Lomoukai, Nambu Province in Africa depict figures in what appear to be
modern spacesuits.
These carvings are dated to around 4300 BC. Another example comes from
the Australian Aborigines. Numerous ancient rock paintings depict short,
robed figures with large staring eyes and huge helmet-like heads, again
the typical description of an extraterrestrial. These images are known
to be 3,000 years old. More clues come from a wide variety of cultures.
An early Colombian artifact looks almost exactly like the space shuttle.
A clay sculpture from a pre-Japanese culture shows what looks like an astronaut inside a pressurized spacesuit. Both of these artifacts are at least 3,000 years old.
Why do so many different cultures across the world create these strange figures? Could aliens and UFOs
have inspired them? Interestingly, many early cultures have myths and
legends about wise Godlike beings that came from the sky to teach
humanity. Mysterious places like Easter Island, Stonehenge, the Egyptian pyramids,
and countless others have also generated years of debate about how they
came to exist. While some researchers have speculated that
extraterrestrials may have helped to construct these monuments, most
modern researchers believe that humans built them. There are tantalizing
clues, however, that some of these creations may have been inspired by
visiting extraterrestrials. One example that stands out above all the
other places is a mysterious desert plateau in Nazca, Peru. This
500-square-mile volcanic plateau contains artwork by an unknown creator
(or creators). There are hundreds of markings on the plateau - including
animal figures such as monkeys, spiders, whales, and various birds, as well as geometric designs, patterns, and lines - that can only be seen from high up in the air.
These markings are more than 2,000 years old, predating both the Incan
and Mayan empires. Therefore the question remains: Who made these
markings that can only be seen from the air, and why? Could they have
been inspired by extraterrestrials? The Nazca mystery remains unsolved.
UFOs in Ancient Egypt and India
Fortunately, there are more than just pictures and carvings that record early UFO visitations. On an ancient Egyptian
papyrus dated from 1504 BC is one of the earliest known written records
of a UFO encounter. It was written during the reign of Egyptian pharaoh
Thutmose III, and is now at the Egyptian museum at the Vatican.
The hieroglyphics were translated by Egyptologists and tell an amazing
story. One day a group of Egyptian citizens observed "a circle of fire
that was coming from the sky." The people became frightened and threw
themselves to the ground. A few days later, the strange objects
returned. According to the document, "Now after some days had passed,
these things became more numerous in the sky than ever. They shone more
in the sky than the brightness of the sun, and extended to the limits of the four supports of the heavens . . . Powerful was the position of these fire circles."
Texts from Ancient India
also provide suggestions of UFO activity. More than 5,000 years old and
written in ancient Sanskrit, these texts describe flying ships, called vimánas , or sky-boats. Researcher Richard Thompson has studied hundreds of such accounts and writes that the vimánas
have "many features reminiscent of UFOs." Early cultures might have had
trouble understanding the phenomenon of UFOs, but they found the
activity important enough to record. In each case the observers
interpreted UFOs in the context of their own culture.
Biblical UFOs
Even the Bible
mentions possible extraterrestrial encounters. The "Wheels of Ezekiel"
described in the Bible contains many parallels to modern day UFO
reports. The incident took place in 593 BC and appears in the beginning
of the New Testament. Ezekiel was alone when he saw a "a great cloud
with brightness round about it, and fire flashing forth constantly, and
in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming bronze." Ezekiel also
observed strange wheels within wheels and other details that sounded
very much like a machine. Researcher Josef Blumrich wrote a book, The Spaceships of Ezekiel (1974) , theorizing that Ezekiel encountered actual extraterrestrials.
Another example from the Bible is Elijah’s ascension in a "chariot of
fire." Some researchers speculate that the chariot of fire is actually a
UFO. This has also led to speculation that some reports of angels may
actually refer to extraterrestrials.
UFOs in Roman Times
It wasn’t until Roman
times that historians began to keep detailed records of UFO encounters.
Early Roman writer Julius Obsequens was one of the world’s first UFO
investigators. He began recording strange events in the year 222 AD,
when two Roman consuls observed "a great light, like day, at midnight,
when three moons appeared in quarters of the sky distant from each
other." In 216 AD, he wrote of another sighting: "Things like ships were
seen in the sky over Italy ... At Arpi, a round shield was seen in the sky... At Capua, the sky was all on fire, and one saw figures like ships."
Obsequens eventually recorded dozens of accounts, often referring to the
strange objects as shields, ships, or burning torches - all objects
that were familiar to people in Roman society at the time. Another early
researcher was German scholar Lycosthenes, who recorded numerous UFO
sightings over Europe. The following account comes from the year 457 AD:
"Over Brittany, France,
a blazing thing like a globe was seen in the sky. Its size was immense,
and on its beams hung a ball of fire like a dragon out of whose mouth
proceeded two beams, one of which stretched beyond France, the other
reached towards Ireland, and ended in fire, like rays."
In the year 796, "Small globes were seen circling around the sun." And
in the year 919, "A thing like a burning torch was seen in the sky, and
glistening balls like stars moved to and fro in the air over Hungary."
Another sighting that cannot be easily explained occurred in 1168: "A
globe of fire was seen moving to and fro in the air on 20 March." Some
of the early accounts match up perfectly with today’s reports. In the
year 1290, for example, the abbot and monks at Begeland Abbey in England observed a "flat, round, shining, silvery object" that flew over the abbey, causing" utmost terror."
All these sightings influenced the thinking of historian all over the
world and made us to think or rather rethink the ancient belief in Gods and angels. Unknown phenomenon could be easily explained by religion and would pass over the supernatural realm.

Influence of Extraterrestrial UFO’s in the History of Mankind-2
Further later in history than the Egyptian and biblical ages, mankind
witnessed interaction with various unidentified flying objects right
down to the present times. These sightings were recorded into paintings
and eyewitness records. Their interpretation is still incomplete to this
day. Continuation of previous article.
UFO
sightings were unexplainable by science until the invention until
flying machines like airplanes. Zeppelins and hot air balloons were
invented. Till then they were witnessed in awe and something magical
even leading to concepts like angels and demons. However we see briefly
how their appearances were recognized from the middle ages to the times of the world wars.
UFOs in the Middles Ages
As history advanced into the Middle Ages, accounts of UFO sightings
became more detailed. In 1322: "In the first hour of the night of
November 4 there was seen in the sky over Uxbridge, England
a pillar of fire the size of a small boat, pallid and livid in color.
It rose from the south, crossed the sky with slow and grave motions, and
went north. Out of the front of the pillar, a fervent red flame burst
forth with great beams of light. Its speed increased, and it flew
through the air."In 1387, England experienced an increase in the wave of
UFO activities when citizens observed "a fire in the sky, like a
burning and revolving wheel, or round barrel of flame, emitting fire
from above, and others in the shape of a long fiery beam."
On April 14, 1561, numerous residents of Nuremberg, Germany,
saw hundreds of spheres, globes, cylinders, and other strange-shaped
objects flying in darting patterns across the sky, as if fighting each
another. The sighting lasted about an hour and was described by
witnesses as a "very frightful spectacle." An unknown artist recorded
the event in a woodcarving, which shows the odd fleet of flying objects,
including a few actually crashing to the earth. On august 7, 1566,
Samuel Coccius of Basel, England, wrote that at sunrise "many large
black globes were seen in the air, moving before the sun with great
speed and turning against each other as if fighting." Coccius also
memorialized the event in a woodcarving, which shows about 40 objects
filling the sky as stunned observers look on.
Various astronomers
have seen UFOs. The famous English astronomer, Edmund Halley, who
discovered Halley’s comet, also claims to have seen a UFO. In May of
1677, he and various other astronomers observed a "great light in the
sky all over southern England, plenty of miles high." The light moved
"with incredible speed, and was high in luminescence. It seemed to
vanish leaving behind a pale white light. There were no hissing sounds
and no explosion. "Was this a UFO or a meteor?
Even Halley wasn’t sure. On July 9, 1686, Italian astronomer Gottfried
Kirch observed a "burning globe" that was so bright "one could read
without a candle." They used a telescope and estimated that the object
was 30 miles above the surface of the earth. After about a minute, the
light disappeared. Kirch later learned that other people miles away
observed the same object earlier that evening.
Throughout the 1700s, the Gentleman’s Magazine of England recorded
numerous accounts, such as the following incredible sighting: "In March,
1719, and again on 29 August, 1738, there appeared in the sky over
England at 3 P.M. in the northeast a glowing ball like a cone, with a
jet of flame at the rear... It was like a cone of fire, ending in a
sharp point, with a bright ball at the thicker end. The ball seemed to
burst and go away in a jet of flame." On January 2, 1749, three large
spherical-shaped objects "like the moon" appeared over Japan, causing
widespread riots. The government was forced to enact martial law to stop
the panic. During this time, several Renaissance painters
created works of art that contained images of typical flying saucers.
In 2003, researcher Matthew Hurley identified plenty of examples. A
fifteenth-century painting by Italian artist Hirlandaio shows the Virgin
Mary with a disk shaped object hovering in the sky. In the background, a
man points at the object. Another sixteenth-century fresco shows a
figure inside a flying object that is darting across the sky above a
crowd of people.
UFOs in the 1800s
Sightings also continued strongly into the 1800s. In July 1868,
residents of Copiago, Chile, observed an unidentified "aerial
construction" fly overhead. It was described as having shiny scales and
making a noise like a machine. A dramatic account from the summer of
1883 was published in the West German periodical, Der Stern. According
to the report, "All the children and the teacher in the public
elementary school at Segeberg, saw in the sky six fiery balls, the size
of full moons, traveling side by side, not swiftly, from north to south,
on a clear and sunny day."
Despite the numerous numbers of sightings, most people still didn’t view UFOs as aliens from space. More popular explanations included angels, demons, or signs from God or the Devil. At this time, humans had still not learned how to fly, so the idea of space-travel and life on other planets
hadn’t entered the public consciousness. It wasn’t until airplanes and
rockets were invented in the early twentieth century that people began
to seriously consider that UFOs might be creatures from other planets.
Then in 1896, the United States experienced its first UFO wave when
residents across northern New York reported seeing an "airship" in the
sky. The first sighting to gain widespread attention occurred on
November 17, 1896. As reported in the Sacramento Bee: "Last evening
between the hours of five and six o’clock, in the year of our Lord 1896,
a most startling exhibition was seen in the sky in this city of
Sacramento. People standing on the sidewalks at certain points in the
city between the hours stated, saw coming through the sky over the
housetops what appeared to them to be merely an electric arc lamp
propelled by some mysterious force. It came out of the east and sailed
unevenly toward the southwest, dropping now nearer to the earth, and now
suddenly rising into the air." Several witnesses said they also heard
voices. Among the plenty of witnesses was the daughter of the mayor of
Sacramento.
Over the next week, the mysterious airship continued to appear. Four
days later, on November 22, 1896, dozens of passengers on an Oakland
streetcar observed an object that looked like a "wingless cigar." The
object emitted beams of light and traveled slowly overhead. Again, the
account became front-page news. Before long, the wave spread across the
United States, with thousands of people reporting the odd zeppelin-like
objects. In some of the cases, witnesses encountered human-looking
people who were dressed strangely and spoke unknown languages. At first,
people assumed that these airships were coming from foreign countries,
such as Cuba. Again, the idea of aliens visiting Earth from outer space
was still largely unknown. Today, the mysterious airship wave remains
unexplained. Some researchers believe that the sightings may have been
the result of early undercover experiments with dirigibles, zeppelins,
and other airships. And in fact, only six year later, on November 3,
1897, timber merchant David Schwarz of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
invented and successfully flew an airship.
Other researchers have a stranger explanation for the airship mystery.
They say that UFOs are actually putting on different masks for each
culture, and may actually be some sort of Inter dimensional visitors and
not extraterrestrials at all. The best evidence for this theory is the
fact that UFOs seem to appear different in each culture. For example,
the numerous cases of fairies and elves in the medieval times may not
have been actual fairies and elves but actual aliens that people just
thought were fairies or elves, or perhaps another mask worn by the
interdimensional beings. Explanations for these phenomena aren't always
easy.
Foo Fighters during world war II
During the middle of World War II
in 1943 and 1944, numerous fighter pilots began to see what they called
"foo fighters,"or small balls of light that followed their aircraft. At
first, everyone assumed that the balls of light were secret German
weapons. However, it was later discovered that German and Japanese
pilots also encountered the odd balls of light and thought they were
American or English secret weapons. Neither thought that they were
extraterrestrials. Strangely, the foo fighters seldom attacked the
planes, but instead flew behind them or whirled around them in curious
patterns. They appeared alone or in groups. Although the United States
military and the British military both launched investigations, but were
unable to account for the odd sightings and they remain unexplained to
this day.

What are UFOs from the esoteric point of view?
UFO phenomenon interacts with the collective psyche and if the
collective psyche gives a certain shape and form, the phenomenon will
take this attributed shape.
First of all, we must understand how we interact with alternative
realities and this is where "Magic" comes up along with a variety of
ancient traditions that have a lot to teach us. The classic contactee is
usually not aware of this, on the other hand some people started off
with contactism but then related the events to the Magical realm (and we
shall clarify the term Magic later on). They connected the events with a
series of other factors instead of isolating it. Isolating the
experience will never lead to any interesting results or information.
The only concern is that a vampirical, dark and gloomy image of the
phenomenon is being fed through. This trend is created by the so called
topic authorities like Bob Lazar. People that go around with a briefcase
full of evidence, alien implants extracted from abductees (abductees
have often stated to have been implanted devices to keep them under
control). There are also X-rays and physical evidence. But these
characters that make a living out of the conferences they give on this
topic have turned Ufological research into a Business. Of course, each
one is free to do as he or she likes but the real concern is that
turning Ufology into something that is preached could lead to fideism or
even worse: let's not forget that this phenomenon interacts with the
collective psyche and if the collective psyche gives a certain shape and
form, the phenomenon will take this attributed shape. It is a bit like
what some of the after death theories say: the departed will find
themselves in the paradises or hells they have created for themselves.
We should start modifying ourselves the paradigm in order to see how it
interacts with a suddenly different mode of interpretation or point of
view. As is stated in Quantum Physics, some phenomena give different
results according to the condition and changing factors of the observer.
UFOs exist as long as they find a psychic content that gives them a
solid form, shape and nature. From my point of view, it would be too
simplistic to just state that they are in our minds. They are a result
of our conscience just like everything else but then we enter in the
realm of mysticism and spiritual physics. For now let's just say that
they are a shape and form given to a form of energy that doesn't
originate from us but that is part of certain aspects of reality that we
still know nothing about (whether it is interior or exterior doesn't
matter at this point because we would enter into a different type of
discussion where a different type of logic needs to be applied)
In any case, we are talking about an exogenous alien phenomenon that
opens up like a window towards another reality and that should lead us
to enquire how much of that "alienness" is really within us or at least
to question how much of what we perceive as real comes from what we have
told to be our world and reality.
The most appropriate behaviour should be scientific-Gnostic approach:
there is one discipline that has always attempted to teach the balance
between reason and perception and that is "Magic", starting always with
the harmonisation of science and conscience. In my opinion, this is the
behaviour that should be applied on the UFO phenomenon, which inserts it
in a larger topic as merely a component of the whole.
We can say that the first form of esotericism that investigated reality
as holistic and multidimensional, thus unifying Esotericism, Magic,
Esoteric Physics and Ufology was the Thelemic current, founded by
Crowley . He has the merit of understanding the connection and being the
precursor of the great archetypal changes of the Age of Aquarius. Later
on Grant, Bertieaux and various other research movements of
Thelemic-Maatian influence investigated the theories of Chaos, Stellar
Magick, etc.
It is important to point out that even notable researchers like
Castaneda have fallen into the dualistic trap. Towards the end of his
career, Carlos Castaneda started talking about malignant entities that
surrounded mankind and feed upon us like simple food, etc. Wherever
there is a line of thought along these lines, it actually creates a
dualistic scheme of reality which will take on the same expression:
these forces exist, I am not saying they don't they are mentioned even
in my studies and writings but they are entities created by us humans as
a result of thousands of years of ways, behaviours and attitudes. They
are not the historical cause of humanity's sleep and spiritual
involution. The awakening must therefore begin from within us.
It is us who are allowing this predation and we have locked ourselves
into a variety of political, social, religious and cultural schemes that
make sure this continues in this manner. There is now of course en
energetic mechanism that ensures the continuity of this entrapment but
it was created by mankind in the first place. And if we continue to
think in this manner, things will be as we want them to! The entrapment
will continue.
This is a rather historical moment where all that was once an
established fact is thrown back onto the discussion board. The planes
are shifting and mixing in order to reformulate what we are defining as
reality: perhaps we are at the edge of a great mutation, a big change
(someone might have called it apocalypse) and great affluence of energy.
In some of my studies and writings I have gone into more detail on the
topic of parallel worlds and the detachment of planes of existence.
Surely at a global level, we are in the midst of a mixture of paradigms
that need to reformulate in a new manner, according to potential futures
and schematics that could go in very different directions from one
another.
The whole concept is to develop the capacity to access the phenomenon
within the timeframe and modalities established through a form of
harmonic and balanced concurrence of forces. This must be achieved
without any abuse of power or losses of lucidity even during the time
when one remains open and fully available towards something greater.
This is accomplished through the ever more precise use of will power and
the ever widening use of our own senses, as well as mental and
spiritual faculties.
At that precise moment, we can have a glimpse on what could be reality,
with less and less filtration, but also a glimpse on the means and the
purpose of it all. This is what Magic (Magick) is: a communion with the
supernatural without having to submit to an authority that doesn't
exist, because the only true authority is our own conscience, as long as
we have been able sharpen it and make it evolve according to our true
nature.
I prefer to believe in the future of earth and all inhabitants. There is no reason to believe that we will not be here in the future beyond 2013, I prefer to believe in the Ascension Age of Awareness.
We are planning on the Ascension Age which is named for the date to begin on December 26, 2012. We had an age ushered in on December 26, 2004 with a Tsunami after an earthquake that killed thousands. Let us all hope and pray that our positive energy believing in the Omniverse will assure us a place in history with a new beginning on this date which happens to be my birthday.
I have written the previous article in years past. It is on this computer which I have had a few years now probably since 2006. I am not sure when this paper was written but the deed is on file as are a few others dealing with 2012 which will still be a concern until we sleep well on New Years 2013.
What if the truth is to be discovered from our ancient history that involves our future's past and our changes to come in 2012?
One of the best information books to read with information from various websites over time is this one; BEYOND 2012 Catastrophe or Awakening? A complete Guide to End-of-Time Predictions by Geoff Stray. I have glanced over this book but have not read it cover to cover. I came back and added this book on 9-12-2012 because I feel that it has important graphics, photos, dates, and perceptions, as well as opinions in it. I feel that we could all have written this book as fellow paranormal writers but the credit is due to Geoff Stray. Also credit is due to Bear & Company, Rochester, Vermont, www.BearandCompanyBooks.com, for publishing this book for all of us including me. I am delighted to share BEYOND 2012 for I am also on this journey and am the author of Ascension Age Beyond 2012 , Spirituality & Philosophy for Whole Life Living - A Better Future available on Amazon under author, TJ Thurmond Morris. I haven't read this book either although I compiled it from some of my dated material from here on UFO Digest.
I am preparing myself for the book of all times for me called "TAKEN" and have been creating articles and files for books including my Alien UFO Story by TJ and Xeno Politics - Men In Black. I am working on the first editions now to upgrade into works that will be historical in nature in the future. I wanted to show myself and others how our minds and perceptions can change over time, therefore I went ahead and received an ISBN and began my own research and experiments on the titles and some of my past work as a journalist.
My best work, as well as others, is forthcoming for the future for us all. Beyond 2012 is most exciting for me because we will have 2012 behind us and can get on with life without the worries of the whole world changing so quick that we cannot think and ground ourselves to being a part of future projects. The process of enlightenment is a work in progress for us all!
Science and Quantum God Particle may be real enough to become tangible explanation for what we once thought of as angels and aliens. Some of us are concerned about earth.
Will the mega tsunamis be a sign of the times that ancient civilizations recorded in written history and in geological history? Some believe that the underwater pyramids in the earth's oceans may be ancient civilizations that existed in the past. Some of us know that humans with the guidance of extraterrestrials created pyramids. The pyramids originally were constructed as markers, which could be seen from space by our ancient ancestors who are extraterrestrials.
As many layers of our ancient past unknown are thought to be known.
Our ancestors left us messages to be discovered by our kind throughout the ages that we call and refer to as time. Many of the extraterrestrial markings on crashed spacecraft not of earth origin are similar to the ancient writings we refer to as Egyptian writings or markings. Many things that will be coming to be realized as the truth in our future were considered lies in our past.
The ancients built pyramids that were created to all easy location of human being colonies on planet earth. This is logical when thought about the locations. There are some that are now under our oceans that will be found were covered due to the shifting of the tectonic plates. There are eight major plates and several minors that are shifting.
We may be able to share the disappearance of prior civilizations on earth if we decide to reveal the known whereabouts of various crashed alien spacecraft kept by governments. Many past governments were not sharing what they thought were secrets due to past wars and feuds among prior clans, tribes, and cultural differences of human beings. The language barrier was a part of the past stress and strife among warring nations. This will now be dealt with in our future for the entire global community.
The global Internet communication of information that we are now able to share is our most precious commodity. Those who will share in the assimilation of information and containment of information, knowledge and wisdom will be rewarded seven times over than those who will not participate in the sharing of the future education of our species. This is a time for health and prosperity for all intelligent beings. This time is marked in history to turn a page in history. Thus the December 21, 2012 date.
We may geographically feel the earth's upheavals but there are those who are superior to us on earth that can watch and observe as has been done in the past. We do have those who can assist that we call extraterrestrials but only in times that have to do with total annihilation of a known intelligent being species. Otherwise, they choose to not interfere in the total population. This was done before in earth's history and it only made for learning about destruction and misuse of advanced technology.
We are now wondering what else we may not know about our ancient past based on written history as it now compares with geological findings of our earth. How the earth was made is now a major topic on the History channel on television.
The History channel also deals with topics of special interest that are now involving social networks in niche genres such as aliens, angels, extraterrestrials, spiritual and philosophical news is in the new media. We are approaching December 21, 2012 and there are words in the written history, as well as, the geographical historical new findings on earth that are coming together.
We are they who choose to filter our input into our own conscious minds. New Solar System News is changing our critical mass consciousness. We are changing and knowledge, wisdom, and being more aware of our environment and ourselves has never been more obvious than today. We study our ancient history and how it effects our future's past.
This is how we change our critical mass consciousness. We believe in more than tangible and intangible evidence which fires the synapses of our brains into becoming more than the total substance of our belief systems. This new God particle theory of the world in science has a way of dealing with our spirituality and our humanity.
This is good news for the critical mass changes for the state of our economy. We may have watchers from above that can change our overall belief system in our future. What if the truth is to be discovered from our ancient history that involves our future's past and our changes to come in 2012?
We have been taught of beings that walked the earth prior to our arrival. Whether we choose to read and believe these stories are up to each individual. Some stories are based on our cultures and folklore passed down from one generation to the next. What if the reference to We have read in ancient codex’s of our ancestors through time as writing; we will create man in our own image, male and female and these spirits were put into clay vessels. Does this define some ancient way of writing that dealt with ancient cultures that dealt with extraterrestrials in our past that were named angels who we call aliens?
Spirit-Soul-Vessels with exceptional powers are aliens who watched over humans on earth in the past. — Were aliens of ancient civilizations called God and Angels? How will science change the way we think about ourselves spiritually?
Recorded in written word in various stories in various languages by human beings are debated by biblical scholars. Scientific scholars dealing with material facts that can be proven in tangible material that is considered evident by our five senses generally speaking.
What is not proven tangible is considered intangible and angels and aliens still fall into the intangible category based on the spiritual and not the physical until we capture in physical form for all the earth to regard as a physical manifestation. UFOS are spacecraft that are not of earth origin but we describe them as unidentified objects.
The debate of whether UFOS and ANGELS are tangible or intangible is still making news in all the spiritual, philosophical, religious, and scientific communities. In many ways, it is the paranormal topics in today’s communication work and world that has our imaginations in the social networks stirring and interested. Angels was a word for beings that come from the heavens. We understood that there was one leader of the Gods and that there is a recorded history of sons of God.
We are they who choose to filter our input into our own conscious minds.
We have been taught of beings who walked the earth prior to our arrival. Whether we choose to read and believe these stories are up to each individual. Some stories are based on our cultures and folklore passed down from one generation to the next.
There is a story of Satan in the King James version of the Bible in the Old Testament and where Jesus was tempted by Satan in the New testament for 40 days and nights. We choose to believe that this reference to 40 days and nights recorded in written languages for us to discover in our lifetimes was referring to a 24-hour period based on the sun and the moon and the rotation of our planet.
What if the reference to We have read in ancient codex’s of our ancestors through time as writing; we will create man in our own image, male and female and these spirits were put into clay vessels. This defines our spirit that when combined with a vessel of clay or a container defines our soul or at least a reference to our soul while here on earth. The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012,[1][2][3] which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed, but none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship.
A New Age interpretation of this transition posits that during this time Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.[4] Others suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios posited for the end of the world include the Earth's collision with a passing planet (often referred to as "Nibiru") or black hole, or the arrival of the next solar maximum.
Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea that a catastrophe will happen in 2012, stating that predictions of impending doom are not found in any of the existing classic Maya accounts.
We can all work on Wikiepedia and the new SocialParanormal.com/Metapedia.- Here is part of what we are working on now. We hope you will all join us. TJ
MAINSTREAM
Mainstream Mayanist scholars state that the idea that the Long Count calendar "ends" in 2012 misrepresents Maya history.[3][5] The modern Maya, on the whole, have not attached much significance to the date, and the classical sources on the subject are scarce and contradictory, suggesting that there was little if any universal agreement among them about what, if anything, the date might mean.[6]
Most astronomers and other scientists have rejected the apocalyptic forecasts on the grounds that the anticipated events are precluded by astronomical observations or are unsubstantiated by the predictions that have been generated from these findings.[7] NASA has compared fears about 2012 to those about the Y2K bug in the late 1990s, suggesting that an adequate analysis should preclude fears of disaster.[7]
The Milky Way near Cygnusshowing the lane of the Dark Rift, which the Maya called the Xibalba be or "Black Road"
Jenkins suggests that the Maya based their calendar on observations of the Great Rift, a band of dark dust clouds in the Milky Way, which the Maya called the Xibalba be or "Black Road."[49] Jenkins claims that the Maya were aware of where the ecliptic intersected the Black Road and gave this position in the sky a special significance in their cosmology.[50] According to the hypothesis, the Sun precisely aligns with this intersection point at the winter solstice of 2012.[50] Jenkins claimed that the classical Mayans anticipated this conjunction and celebrated it as the harbinger of a profound spiritual transition for mankind.[51] New Age proponents of the galactic alignment hypothesis argue that, just as astrology uses the positions of stars and planets to make claims of future events, the Mayans plotted their calendars with the objective of preparing for significant world events.[52] Jenkins attributes the insights of ancient Maya shamans about the galactic center to their use ofpsilocybin mushrooms, psychoactive toads, and other psychedelics.[53] Jenkins also associates the Xibalba be with a "world tree", drawing on studies of contemporary (not ancient) Maya cosmology.[54]
Astronomers argue that the galactic equator is an entirely arbitrary line, and can never be precisely determined because it is impossible to say exactly where the Milky Way begins or ends. Jenkins claims he drew his conclusions about the location of the galactic equator from observations taken at above 11,000 feet, which is higher than any of the Maya lived.[44] Furthermore, the precessional alignment of the Sun with any single point is not exclusive to a specific year, but takes place over a 36-year period, corresponding to its diameter. Jenkins himself notes that, even given his determined location for the line of the galactic equator, its most precise convergence with the centre of the Sun already occurred in 1998.[55][56]
There is no clear evidence that the classic Maya were aware of precession. Some Maya scholars, such as Barbara MacLeod, Michael Grofe, Eva Hunt, Gordon Brotherston, and Anthony Aveni,[57] have suggested that some Mayan holy dates were timed to precessional cycles, but scholarly opinion on the subject remains divided.[22] There is also little evidence, archaeological or historical, that the Maya placed any importance on solstices or equinoxes.[22][58] It is possible that early Mesoamericans had an emphasis on solstices which was later forgotten,[59] but this is also a disputed issue among Mayanists.[22][58] The start date of the Long Count is not astronomically significant.[60]
A screenshot of the Timewave Zerosoftware
"Timewave zero" is a numerological formula that purports to calculate the ebb and flow of "novelty", defined as increase in the universe's interconnectedness, reorganized, [61] over time. According to Terence McKenna, who conceived the idea over several years in the early-mid 1970s while using psilocybin mushrooms and DMT, the universe has a teleological attractor at the end of time that increases interconnectedness, eventually reaching a singularity of infinite complexity in 2012, at which point anything and everything imaginable will occur simultaneously. [61]
McKenna expressed "novelty" in a computer program, which purportedly produces a waveform known as Timewave zero or the Timewave. Based on McKenna's interpretation of the King Wen sequence of the I Ching, [40] the graph appears to show great periods of novelty corresponding with major shifts in humanity's biological and cultural evolution. He believed the events of any given time are recursively related to the events of other times, and chose the atomic bombing of Hiroshima as the basis for calculating his end date in November 2012. When he later discovered this date's proximity to the end of the 13th b'ak'tun of the Maya calendar, he revised his hypothesis so that the two dates matched. [62]
The first edition of The Invisible Landscape refers to 2012 (as the year, not a specific day) only twice. McKenna originally considered it an incidental observation that his and José Argüelles dates matched, a sign of the end date "being programmed into our unconscious".[citation needed] It was only in 1983, with the publication of Sharer's revised table of date correlations in the 4th edition of Morley's The Ancient Maya, that each became convinced that December 21, 2012 had significant meaning. McKenna subsequently peppered this specific date throughout the second, 1993 edition of The Invisible Landscape.[2]
Popularization In 2006, author Daniel Pinchbeck popularized New Age concepts about this date in his book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, linking it to beliefs about crop circles, alien abduction, and personal revelations based on the use of entheogens and mediumship.[63] Pinchbeck claims to discern a "growing realization that materialism and the rational, empirical worldview that comes with it has reached its expiration date...[we’re on the verge of transitioning to a dispensation of consciousness that's more intuitive, mystical and shamanic."[64] Beginning in 2003, he has promoted these ideas annually in presentations at Burning Man. [63] In April 2010, Pinchbeck and several others released the documentary film 2012: Time for Change.
In India, the guru Kalki Bhagavan has promoted 2012 as a "deadline" for human enlightenment since at least 1998.[65][66] In the United States, the association of December 21, 2012 with a "transformation of consciousness" has also received popular attention in The Lost Symbol (2009), a bestseller work of thriller fiction byDan Brown, in which the date is associated with references to esoteric beliefs of Freemasonry and Noetic theory.[67] David Wilcock, a new age researcher, has gained increasing popularity with viral video-seminars promoting the idea of global ascension, and a golden age, in the year 2012
Planet X/Nibiru
Main article: Nibiru collision
Some proponents of doomsday in 2012 claim that a planet called Planet X or Nibiru will collide with or pass by Earth in that year. This idea, which has appeared in various forms within New Age circles since 1995, initially slated the event for 2003 but abandoned that date after it passed without incident. It originated from claims of channeling of alien beings and has been widely ridiculed.[79][80] Astronomers calculate that such an object so close to Earth would be visible to anyone looking up at the night sky.[81][82]
Black hole alignment
An apocalyptic reading of Jenkins's hypothesis has that, when the galactic alignment occurs, it will somehow create a combined gravitational effect between the Sun and the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy (known as Sagittarius A*), creating havoc on Earth.[83] Apart from the fact noted above that the "galactic alignment" predicted by Jenkins already happened in 1998, the Sun's apparent path through the zodiac as seen from Earth does not take it near the true galactic center, but rather several degrees above it.[84] Even if this were not the case, Sgr A* is 30,000 light years from Earth, and would have to be more than 6 million times closer to cause any gravitational disruption to Earth's Solar System.[85][86]
Some versions of this idea associate the theory of a 2012 "galactic alignment" with that of a very different "galactic alignment" proposed by some scientists to explain a supposed periodicity in mass extinctions in the fossil record. [87] The hypothesis supposes that vertical oscillations made by the Sun as it orbits the galactic center cause it to regularly pass through the galactic plane. When the Sun's orbit takes it outside the galactic plane which bisects the galactic disc, the influence of the galactic tide is weaker; as it re-enters the galactic disc, as it does every 20–25 million years, it comes under the influence of the far stronger "disc tides", which, according to mathematical models, increase the flux of Oort cloud comets into the Solar System by a factor of 4, leading to a massive increase in the likelihood of a devastating comet impact.[88] However, this "alignment" takes place over tens of millions of years, and could never be timed to an exact date.[89] Evidence shows that the Sun passed through the plane bisecting the galactic disc only three million years ago, and is now moving farther above it.[90]
Web Bot project
Main article: Web Bot
The Web Bot project is a series of automated bots that search the Internet for specific keywords, looking for patterns. Its co-creator, George Ure, states that its study of "web chatter" predicted the September 11 attacks in New York, though he also suggests that the project can predict natural disasters, such as earthquakes. He now asserts that the project has predicted that the world will end on December 21, 2012.[91] Critics of these proposals argue that while the collective knowledge of humanity could possibly predict terrorist attacks, stock market crashes or other human-caused events, there is no way it could predict something like an earthquake or the end of the world.[91]
