Men Are Far More Likely Than Women to Want a Close Encounter With Aliens, Oxford University Study Finds

• Dr Peter Hatfield of the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford told the audience at the British Science Festival, hosted by the University of Warwick, that an Oxford study shows that 55 per cent of men want to reach out to extraterrestrials, compared to 47 per cent of women.

• A Survation poll revealed that 11% of those polled favored a global referendum on the matter of seeking extraterrestrial contact. But it if there were a planet-wide vote, the majority of the 2,000 people surveyed said they would want to initiate contact.

• Hatfield told the crowd, “No-one knows if or when we will receive a message from extraterrestrials, but astronomers are listening – and it could happen any time.” One scientist who spoke at the event said that there was a 10% chance that contact with aliens could take place in the next 10 years.

• The study also compared Brits who favor ET contact with Brits who favor Brexit. Those who favored Britain staying within the EU – 66% – also favored initiating contact with ETs.

• According to the study, if we do receive a message from outer space, the public seems to have more confidence in scientists having a key role in the decision-making process of potentially replying, than politicians. Dr Hatfield says that scientists give a ten percent chance, on average, that humans will make contact with extraterrestrials within the next 100 years.

• Dr Leah Trueblood, from the Department of Law at the University of Oxford, said that the number of people responding with “I don’t know” suggests that the public is open-minded and open to persuasion. “[B]eing open to persuasion is good news” says Trueblood. “It’s also fascinating that most our responses were in favour of contacting aliens. Those surveyed are clearly much braver than me.” “[T]his is a hugely frightening prospect.”

• There is currently no international law setting out the protocol for making contact with extraterrestrials. In March 1996, the International Academy of Astronautics published a post-detections protocol which stated: “No response to a signal or other evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence should be sent until appropriate international consultations have taken place.”

[Editor’s Note]  Yes, don’t worry all of you frightened, simple-minded civilians; the Deep State scientists – who are trained to deny the obvious extraterrestrial presence – have everything under control… so long as those paychecks keep coming.

 

Men are more enthusiastic about speaking to aliens than women, new research from the University of Oxford has revealed.

Announced at the British Science Festival hosted by the University of Warwick, the data said that 55 per cent of men want to reach out to extraterrestrials, compared to just 47 per cent of women.

  Dr Peter Hatfield

Eleven per cent of those polled by Survation even said they would want a global referendum on the matter.

And, if it was left to a planet-wide vote, the majority of the 2,000 people surveyed said they would want to initiate contact.

Only 14 per cent would not want to initiate contact with aliens, though nine per cent wouldn’t vote and 11 per cent would not know what to do.

                    Dr Leah Trueblood

One scientist, who spoke at the event, even said that there was a 10 per cent chance contact with aliens could take place in the next 10 years.

Perhaps a sign of the public’s distrust in politicians, Brits would also pick scientists over MPs to decide what to do.

Interestingly, positions on Brexit also influenced whether people would want to initiate contact with aliens or not.
They survey also looked at the differences between Brexit voters.

Those who voted to Remain were more likely to vote to initiate contact than those who voted to Leave, at 66 per cent and 54 per cent respectively.

Dr Peter Hatfield, from the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, said: ‘No-one knows if or when we will receive a message from extraterrestrials, but astronomers are listening – and it could happen any time.

US Government ‘Is Silently Monitoring Snake-Like UFOs Seen Across the Country

Article by Simon Green                    September 11, 2019                   (dailystar.co.uk)

• Former police detective-turned UFO hunter, Gary Heseltine says that the US government is aware of the many snake-like UFOs that have been spotted across the country and are monitoring them.

• Over the past several months, people from all parts of the US have claimed to have captured bizarre objects in the skies on camera, which bear similarities to snakes in their movement. There was a snake UFO sighting in June over the Mojave Desert in California. Since then there have also been such sightings over Wyoming and New York. Heseltine says that cigar-shaped UFOs have been seen for decades. But these are ‘snake’ like objects that move like it was “alive”. “These sightings can be rare and have been seen around the world from time to time, particularly in South American countries like Mexico and Peru.”

• Retired after 24 years with the British Transport Police, Heseltine now runs the Police Reporting UFO Sightings database where he claims to have more than 500 reports of UFO sightings from police officers dating back to 1901. He describes himself as the UK’s leading researcher UFO sightings. Heseltine says that he has “met many people who were formerly military pilots” who have had had UFO encounters. “There is no doubt in my mind that a small proportion of UFO reports involve ET visitation.”

• Heseltine claims that the US military and government have “controlled the UFO field worldwide since the 1940s”. “I suspect that we only know 10% of the truth about UFOs and ET contact which means 90% is still in the secret world of military intelligence.” “I certainly believe that the US government and military know much more about ET visitation.”

 

The US government is likely aware of the snake-like UFOs that have been spotted across the country and are monitoring them, a former police detective has revealed.

Over the past several months, people from all parts of the US have claimed to have captured bizarre objects in the skies on camera, which bear similarities to snakes in their movement.

The sightings started in June, when a popular YouTuber was shocked to discover a bright light above the Mojave Desert in California.

Since then, they have supposedly been spotted during a meteor shower in Wyoming as well as over New York moving like it was “alive”.

After the sightings exploded, Daily Star Online asked Detective Constable-turned UFO hunter Gary Heseltine his thoughts on the mysterious “craft”.

“Cigar-shaped UFOs have been seen for decades,” he told this site.

“Occasionally some reports involve ‘snake’ like objects.

Near Miss Investigations Prompt Renowned ‘X Files’ Investigator to Speak Out

Listen to “E105 9-24-19 Near Miss Investigations Prompt Renowned ‘X Files’ Investigator to Speak Out” on Spreaker.
Article by Joanna Morris                       September 9, 2019                    (thenorthernecho.co.uk)

• Included in a list of aviation near-misses reported to the UK Airprox Board is a UFO seen by a pilot cruising above Barnard Castle in February 2017. According to the pilot, the UFO was flying “almost directly overhead (of) the aircraft in the opposite direction” as the plane traveled at an altitude approaching 18,000 ft. The UFO passed at high speed 200 ft above the aircraft, and remained in view for just two seconds.

• The Airprox report reflects a situation in which the distance between an aircraft and the object could have compromised the safety of the aircraft. There were 36 such reports involving unknown objects in UK airspace investigated by the Board between 2017 and 2019, according to analysis by Newsquest’s Data Investigations Unit. The Civil Aviation Authority said it was likely that most reports involved drones, model aircraft or balloons.

• The pilot in the Barnard Castle case initially believed the moving object could have been a military jet or potentially a drone. However, many reports reviewed by the board involved sightings of unknown objects at thousands of feet off the ground, at heights above drone capability.

• Nick Pope, who investigated UFO sightings for the Ministry of Defence (MoD), said there were many incidents that deserved more interrogation. Said Pope, “[M]any reports being attributed to drone activity should more properly be characterized as ‘unknown objects’.” We’re “being too quick to blame drones”.

• Pope continued, “The situation has been under-resourced since the 2009 termination of the MoD’s UFO program, and while I’m aware that the MoD continues to study such matters, more should be done.”

• UFO researcher Glen Richardson said he receives multiple reports a year relating to potential alien activity in the North-East, including claims of abduction. Richardson thinks the UK authorities could be working covertly to investigate such cases, and urged them to be more transparent about their findings.

• Dr David Clarke with the Centre for Contemporary Legend at Sheffield Hallam University said, “Things that are unexplained are likely to be natural phenomenon – not aliens from other planets. That’s not to say those reports are of no interest.”

• A Ministry of Defence spokesman said that with the millions of flights in UK airspace each year, “[t]he low number of these incidents highlight the professionalism of commercial, military and private aviators.”

 

A REAL-LIFE X Files investigator has joined a UFO researcher from the North-East in calling for more to be done to uncover the truth behind mysterious objects spotted in the skies.

A unidentified flying object seen by a pilot cruising above Barnard Castle is included in a list of near-misses reported to the organisation responsible for monitoring close calls that could compromise the safety of aircraft in flight.

In February 2017, the moving object caught the captain’s attention, flying “almost directly overhead the aircraft in the opposite direction” as the plane travelled at an altitude approaching 18,000ft.

According to data from the UK Airprox Board, the angular and fast-moving entity passed at high speed and remained in view for just two seconds, approximately 200ft above the aircraft.

Area 51 Festival Wraps Up in Nevada; Earthlings Head Home

0

Article by Associated Press                   September 22, 2019                    (latimes.com)

• Although more than 2 million Facebook users clicked their interest, and local officials anticipated a crowd of at least 30,000, only about 3,000 people made the trip to the small desert city Rachel, Nevada to “Storm Area 51”. Authorities said no more than 1,000 people visited Area 51 gates near Rachel on Thursday and Friday. No one was arrested there.

• Visitors hailed from France, Russia, Germany, Peru, Sweden, Australia and many U.S. states. A few hundred more camped and attended one night of an abbreviated music festival about 40 miles away in Hiko, Nevada. “It seems like a lot of good people chilling and having a good time,” observed Dave Wells, a 56-year-old stonemason from Cincinnati wearing a Day-Glo green festival T-shirt and taking in the scene Saturday in Rachel.

• Connie West, proprietor of the Little A’Le’Inn at the epicenter of the Alienstock event, said “[W]e found peace and friendship” as campers packed up to leave and volunteers began cleaning up. West wants to do it again next year. “As well as it turned out? Why the heck not?” she said. At a festival clinic in Rachel, one man was treated for dehydration, and one woman was treated for a drug-related issue.

• The “Area 51 Basecamp” at the Alien Research Center souvenir shop in Hiko, didn’t fare as well. Organizers pulled the plug Saturday on a second concert after drawing only about 500 ticket-buyers for a Friday show. Preparations had been made for up to 5,000.

• Sheriff Kerry Lee said he watched about 20 people feign a rush before dawn Saturday toward a base gate outside Rachel, before stopping short. In Lincoln County, six people were arrested for misdemeanors, mostly trespassing beneath the floodlights and cameras of two military base gates and the watchful eyes of sheriff’s deputies.

• Officials had feared unruly crowds would overwhelm water, electricity, food, fuel, internet and telephone service in a county with just 5,200 people covering an area the size of Massachusetts. “I’m going to call it a success from our end. It’s because we got out in front of it,” said Varlin Higbee, a Lincoln County commissioner who signed an emergency declaration to allocate $250,000 in emergency funds. Higbee said they might sue to recoup costs.

• Matty Roberts, a 20-year-old from Bakersfield, Calif., made the Facebook post to Storm Area 51 as a hoax, then promoted it, then broke away from the event just weeks before. Roberts hosted a Thursday evening event at an outdoor venue in downtown Las Vegas, also using the “Alienstock” name. He said he wants to trademark the name and take it on tour to reach people who couldn’t travel to Nevada. “That’s pretty much the plan for me,” Roberts said. “It’s been a ton of fun.”

 

HIKO, Nev. — The festivals are over and Earthlings from around the globe headed home Sunday after a weekend camping and partying in the dusty Nevada desert and trekking to remote gates of Area 51, a formerly top-secret U.S. military base long the focus of UFO and space alien lore.

They left in peace, officials and the host of a free “Alienstock” festival said Sunday.

Visitors hailed from France, Russia, Germany, Peru, Sweden, Australia and many U.S. states — many toting cameras — in answer to an internet post in June suggesting that if enough people rushed a military base to “see them aliens” at 3 a.m. Sept. 20, authorities couldn’t stop everyone.

More than 2 million Facebook users clicked their interest, but in the end only a few thousand made the trip to the tiny Nevada desert city of Rachel, population about 50, more than two hours north of Las Vegas by car.

Campers and festival-goers in Rachel peaked at about 3,000 on Friday, said Eric Holt, the Lincoln County official who headed planning for a feared influx of at least 30,000.

A few hundred more camped and attended one night of an abbreviated festival about 40 miles away in Hiko, population 120.

“It seems like a lot of good people chilling and having a good time,” observed Dave Wells, a 56-year-old stonemason and festivals-seeker from Cincinnati wearing a Day-Glo green festival T-shirt and taking in the scene Saturday in Rachel.

Did anyone find actual extraterrestrials or UFOs? (As if anyone could really tell among the masked and costumed beings posing for photos and cavorting in the desert.)

“We didn’t,” said Little A’Le’Inn owner-turned-“Alienstock” festival host Connie West, proprietor of the 10-room motel and cafe that became the center of the extraterrestrial-seeking universe.

“But we found peace. And friendship,” she said Sunday as campers packed up to leave and volunteers began cleaning up.

Mysterious UFO Above Secret US Military Base Sparks Frenzy

Article by Oli Smith                    September 8, 2019                       (express.co.uk)

• Blake and Brett Cousins of ‘thirdphaseofmoon’ YouTube channel has received multiple photos from multiple witnesses who have seen a strange triangle-shaped craft in the vicinity of the Portland Air National Guard Base (PANG) in Oregon. (see 10:16 minute video below)

• Conspiracy theorists suggest the aircraft could be a super-secret stealth spy airplane, while others point to “reverse-engineering” linked to alien contact. “You can rule out any photoshop because these new, crystal-clear photographs show the sharp edges and the motion involved.” “Could this be proof of reverse engineering?”

• The triangular aircraft have been linked to the infamous TR-3B Black Manta developed for the US Air Force as part of a secret black project. One viewer suggested that it could be a new stealth drone, the XQ-58A. Other viewers remarked, “This is definitely NOT a TR3B!  It looks like an F45.” One viewer commented, “[T]hey want to be seen.” “[I]t’s… how they control disclosure”.

 

Conspiracy theorists believe they have found the clearest evidence yet of alien contact. Alarming photographs and multiple eyewitnesses spotted a bizarre aircraft close to a top-secret US military base. Multiple eyewitnesses spotted the aircraft as it flew above the Portland Air National Guard Base (PANG).

The “triangular ship” near the PANG base in Oregon has raised suspicions of a bizarre US military test.

Conspiracy theories suggest the aircraft could be a super-secret stealth spy airplane, while others point to “reverse-engineering” linked to alien contact.

Blake and Brett Cousins of thirdphaseofmoon, who posted the pictures in a clip this week, cited “multiple accounts” from a number of onlookers in the area.

They said: “We recieved multiple eyewitnesses from residents in the area.”

They continued: “You can rule out any photoshop because these new, crystal-clear photographs show the sharp edges and the motion involved.

“I mean, look at the inner chamber inside this craft. This area has been known as a hotspot for strange sky sightings. Could this be proof of reverse engineering?”
