UFOs Are Definitely Here, But Why?

Article by Donald Burleson                         March 30, 2020                                (rdrnews.com)

• UFOs have long been seen in our skies. With reliable eyewitness accounts, radar tracks and valid photographs, the evidence for their presence is clearly overwhelming. If we assume that these are alien visitors from other star systems, why are they here? Why do they visit us?

• In sci-fi movies, Hollywood’s typical answer is something like: “We’re from a planet that’s dying, and we have come to take over Earth.” But these anomalous UFOs are obviously of advanced technology and they have been visiting our planet for so long — quite possibly for centuries — that if their intention was to take possession of Earth, they could long since have done so. This reasoning of course assumes that one can infer things about an aliens’ thought process. It seems improbable though, that an alien race in need of a new home would wait for centuries before securing it, when they could so easily prevail.

• It may not be coincidental that a spate of UFO events followed so soon after the atomic detonations at Trinity and Hiroshima. Possibly, alien UFO crews thought: “What are these miscreants up to now? Maybe we ought to keep an eye on them.” If they’ve lingered nearby for years, closely watching the antics of humankind, one could scarcely blame them for having some concerns about our mental stability as a species.

• Perhaps some UFO crews are time travelers from the distant future of our own planet, coming back to visit us, their ancestors. Seeing as they have mutilated cattle and abducted humans, are they collecting DNA to prevent animal extinction or for some future use of human DNA? The first step in the process of answering questions is to ask them.

 

Unidentified flying objects have long been seen in our skies. In terms of reliable eyewitness accounts, radar tracks and valid photographs, the evidence for their presence is clearly overwhelming, but we’ll probably always have more questions about them than we have answers. One haunting question: Why are they here? Why do they visit us?

Let’s entertain this question first under the assumption that at least some UFOs are indeed alien visitors from other star systems. Hollywood offers a reason for their presence, almost surely not the right reason. In dozens of sci-fi movies, aliens have told their human contacts something like: “We’re from a planet that’s dying, and we have come to take over Earth.” In reality, such plans of conquest are exceedingly unlikely, for one compelling reason. The anomalous airborne objects we have observed are so obviously of advanced technology, and have been visiting our planet for so long — quite possibly for centuries — that if their intention was to take possession of Earth, they could long since have done so.

This reasoning of course assumes that one can infer things about aliens’ thought processes from their observed behavior. Arguably this is a dubious assumption, since their minds may be as different from ours as ours are different from the brain of a housefly or an ant. It seems improbable though, that an alien race in need of a new home would wait for centuries before securing it, when they could so easily prevail.

Letter to the Editor: Are We Alone?

by Allen J. Novosad                 February 16, 2019                 (victoriaadvocate.com)

• In a letter to the editor at the Victoria Advocate, Allen J. Novosad of Edna, Texas writes, ‘So why are nations refusing to admit the existence of UFOs? The answer may be fear of a worldwide panic, effect on religious beliefs and to maintain secrets regarding reverse engineering of alien technology.’

• ‘There is ancient architectural evidence of alien civilizations that are thousands of years ahead of us in technological development and are capable of space travel to the earth. There are many ancient written accounts of visual sightings of UFOs. In recent history there have been hundreds of thousands of UFO sightings by many individuals/groups including astronauts, engineers, pilots, military, etc., sometimes witnessing and removing all evidence of UFO crash material.’

• ‘Earth is an ecological paradise, which supports an endless variety of life forms. Perhaps aliens may have even contributed to the evolution of mankind and may have even manipulated animal and human DNA in this process. If aliens are still observing and exploring earth, we must ascertain their motives/reasons for such action and prepare accordingly.’

• ‘Lastly, if aliens’ existence is confirmed, religious beliefs in a supreme being (God) will most likely remain. After all, aliens face the same dilemma regarding how their life began and where the DNA came from to start their evolution process.’

 

Considering the vastness of the universe with its billions of stars and planets, most Americans believe there are other planets where intelligent life exists.

Also, it is highly likely that some alien civilizations may be thousands of years ahead of us in technological development and are capable of space travel and exploration of planets, including Earth. There is architectural evidence going back thousands of years including many written accounts of visual sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), which indicate the likelihood that earth has been visited by aliens. Even during recent history up to the present, there have been hundreds of thousands of UFO sightings by many individuals/groups including astronauts, engineers, pilots, military, etc. Many of these sightings remain unexplained, and there are events where an unknown flying object crashed followed by a military team from the nation involved arriving at the site and removing all evidence of crash material.

No nation has ever officially admitted an alien UFO was involved, but rather many different type explanations have been given to explain such crashes, usually which did not match eyewitnesses accounts. So why are nations refusing to admit the existence of UFOs? The answer may be fear of a worldwide panic, effect on religious beliefs and to maintain secrets regarding reverse engineering of alien technology.

If aliens have entered our solar system in the past, it is obvious the Earth and our moon would have been their primary targets for exploration. Earth is a water planet with slightly more than 70 percent of its surface being water, and has been called a “blue planet” as viewed by our astronauts. Additionally, earth is an ecological paradise, which supports an endless variety of life forms. Perhaps aliens may have even contributed to the evolution of mankind and may have even manipulated animal and human DNA in this process. If aliens are still observing and exploring earth, we must ascertain their motives/reasons for such action and prepare accordingly. Lastly, if aliens’ existence is confirmed, religious beliefs in a supreme being (God) will most likely remain. After all, aliens faced the same dilemma regarding how their life began and where the DNA came from to start their evolution process. Assuming alien contact will be achieved, perhaps the first question should be, do they believe in a supreme spiritual being and life after death?

Respectfully submitted,
Allen J. Novosad, Edna

Valuable Thing in a Trade Deal With Aliens

by Mirjam Guesgen               Jun 13, 2018              (motherboard.vice.com)

• Daniel Helman, professor of Labor Relations and Trade Unions at Ton Duc Thang University in Vietnam thinks that one way to avoid an intergalactic war with extraterrestrials is to trade with them in commerce. And what do we have that they want? DNA.

• Helman proposed the idea of trading plant, animal and human DNA with ETs at the International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles in May. He says that trading tools, weapons, or technology wouldn’t appeal to a highly advanced ET civilization. But they might share their advanced technology with us if we offered them something they don’t already have – our planet’s DNA.

• Helman envisions a DNA marketing package with the DNA sample (spit, blood, hair…), the genetic code, and breakdown of the organism’s history with images, maps, evolutionary chart and environmental needs.

• Trading DNA will also serve to preserve our planet’s genetic information in case of a species’ extinction or a global catastrophe.

• Dr Nikola Schmidt, a political scientist from Charles University in Prague, thinks it’s hardly strange to be contemplating life on other planets, or our potential interactions with them. Schmidt works in planetary defense, ie: the field of research tasked with figuring out how to protect Earth from outside influences – from asteroid to ETs. Schmidt’s concern is what some ET beings might do with the genetic information we give them. “They might, for example, make diseases targeted to us,” says Schmidt.

• Daniel Ross, a PhD candidate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, thinks that the way to approach our interaction with alien civilizations should be to first understand their language, seek common ground, and find fair and equal ways to co-exist without one culture being suppressed by another.

• Helman’s theories are part of a group effort by ethicists, planetary scientists, linguists, and other scientific and arts scholars to prepare for extraterrestrial contact. Helman sees an international, non-profit, scientific advisory group as a way to take discussions, and potential plans, further. There’s no group like this discussing intergalactic trade yet. “Humanity is at a wonderful time right now for available technology and scientific advances,” said Helman, “It makes sense to look at the options …for various futures.”

• [Editor’s Note] By coincidence, Corey Goode and Emery Smith discuss “genetic trading” with other species that is already being conducted in the secret space programs on the June 12th “Cosmic Disclosure”, S11-E3 (GaiaTV). Corey has said that the Interplanetary Corporate Conglomerate Space Program is already trading commodities with over 900 ET civilizations, including mass-produced technological devices and human slaves.

 

While we haven’t seen any signs of extraterrestrial beings on the galactic horizon just yet, some scientists have mounted a serious effort to prepare for their arrival. One of the biggest conundrums post-encounter, and one that a raft of sci-fi movies seem to fail miserably at solving, is how to avoid a Mars Attacks-style bloodbath and the potential end of our civilization.

One solution might be: Instead of engaging in warfare, why not try trading with aliens instead? That’s the idea put forth by Daniel Helman, professor of Labor Relations and Trade Unions at Ton Duc Thang University in Vietnam. We’ve even got a commodity here on Earth worthy of an intergalactic trade agreement, Helman says: DNA—from animals, plants… even us.

Helman proposed the idea at the International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles in May. When I talked to him on the phone afterward, he explained why the usual Earthling trading goods—tools, weapons, or technology—just wouldn’t cut it with extraterrestrials. Any alien civilization that makes contact with Earth is probably way more advanced than us, and wouldn’t be interested in our technological relics, he said. They might, however, be interested in sharing some of their cutting-edge technologies or scientific insights in exchange for something they couldn’t get at home.

Helman said what makes genetic information so unique is that it is the result of millions of years of evolution and interaction with Earth’s particular environment. Essentially, it’s a record of everything that’s happened on Earth up to this point, from mass extinctions to the industrial revolution. “Our environment is unique, hence the genetics of all the organisms here and in the solar system are unique,” explained Helman.

Here’s how a trade deal with aliens might go down, explained Helman. First, you would need to collect DNA from the wildlife in question—blood, spit, hair… anything that contains the building blocks of life as we know it. Then, all the genetic information of a particular organism would need to be decoded by scientists (such as the Human Genome Project, which concluded in 2003). That genetic information would be parcelled up with the organism’s life history: pictures of it, maps of where it lives, charts of its evolution, and details of how the environment affects the expression of those genes (epigenetics). What you would get is a neat little package of pretty much everything that constitutes a living being, aside from the actual being itself.

Trading DNA comes with the added benefit of preserving genetic information elsewhere, said Helman. It’s like a conservation insurance policy for Earth, in case we wipe out life all by ourselves through nuclear war or climate change. The possibility of a civilizational insurance policy might also drive people to try harder to conserve creatures now, reasoned Helman.

Astronaut Returns to Earth With Different DNA

by Sequoyah Kennedy              March 10, 2018                (mysteriousuniverse.org)

• After astronaut Scott Kelly’s year-long stay on the International Space Station, NASA compared Scott Kelly’s physiology with his identical twin brother, Mark Kelly (pictured above). They discovered that while most of the changes to Scott’s physiology returned to normal soon after returning to Earth, 7% of Scott Kelly’s DNA has been permanently altered. NASA has speculated on the existence of a “space gene,” which might be activated by conditions in space, causing changes in DNA.

• Identical twins have almost identical DNA, which makes them ideal candidates for studying the mental and physical health effects of space. It was Scott Kelly himself who suggested NASA use him and his brother Mark as test subjects. NASA says the changes to Scott’s DNA “related to his immune system, DNA repair, bone formation networks, hypoxia, and hypercapnia.”

• Telomeres are components of chromosomes that shorten with age. NASA expected the radiation of space to accelerate that shortening. They found, however, that Scott’s telomeres actually lengthened during his stay on the ISS. They returned to normal within two hours of his return to Earth, squashing any hope of finding the space-fountain of youth.

• While on the ISS, Scott’s gut bacteria also changed dramatically but returned to normal once back on solid ground. NASA scientists do not know whether it was due to differences in the food he ate or environmental factors, such as gravity and radiation. Being in space had no effect on Scott’s cognition, yet after returning to Earth his mental speed and accuracy began showing slight decreases.

• The full results of the NASA study will be released later in 2018.
Either space is weirder than we thought, or NASA ripped off The Fantastic Four. According to a study published by the space agency, space travel can permanently alter your DNA. Identical twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly were observed over the course of a year after Scott touched down on Earth after a yearlong stay on the International Space Station. The Twins Study is part of an ongoing NASA effort called the Human Research Project which studies the effects of space on the human body in preparation for eventual manned missions to Mars and other prolonged trips through the void.

 

Identical twins have almost identical DNA, which makes them ideal candidates for studying the mental and physical health effects of space: any changes in the space-faring twin’s physical health would have to be caused by an outside force and not due to natural variation. Identical twins are rare, and astronauts even rarer; luckily NASA has plenty of the latter and two of the former. It was Scott Kelly himself who suggested NASA use him and his brother Mark as test subjects.

What they found is quite strange. While many of the changes to Scott’s physiology returned to normal soon after returning to Earth, they found permanent changes as well. It seems that 7% of Scott Kelly’s DNA has been altered permanently. NASA has speculated on the existence of a “space gene,” which might be activated by conditions in space, causing changes in DNA. NASA says the changes to Scott’s DNA “related to his immune system, DNA repair, bone formation networks, hypoxia, and hypercapnia.” Whether these changes were seen as positive or negative were not said. We may have an answer if the retired astronaut suddenly begins a career as a vigilante superhero, or if it turns out he’s the mothman.

Predictions for the Twins Study were also proven wrong. Telomeres are components of chromosomes that shorten with age, and NASA expected the radiation of space to accelerate that shortening. They found, however, that Scott’s telomeres actually lengthened during his stay on the ISS. They returned to normal within two hours of his return to Earth, however, squashing any hope there might have been for finding the space-fountain of youth.

DNA Tests Reveal Where ‘Elongated Heads Came From’

by Jon Austin          February 13, 2018              (express.co.uk)

• In 1928, archaeologist Julio Tello discovered more than 300 odd skeletal remains in a complex grave system on the desert peninsula of Paracas, on the southern coast of Peru. The skulls were unusually elongated. These became known as the “Paracas skulls”.

• The Paracas History Museum, in conjunction with the Peruvian Government, recently conducted DNA tests on these Paracas skulls. They scientists have now concluded that these skeletons are from another human sub-species that first emerged from the area of the Caucasus Mountains between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, where other similar skulls have been found, 3,000 years ago. The museum’s director, Brian Foerster, has accepted that they are human in origin, and they somehow migrated to Peru.(see 6:05 minute YouTube video below)

• Foerster goes on to say that the Paracas skulls are “… structurally different and only have one parietal plate as opposed to the two normally found in human skulls. …You could say, in some ways… they were a mix or… hybrid of different people.” But it is certain that the skulls’ elongation is due to genetics and not by intentional cranial deformation by intentional binding, because the cranial volume of the Homo-Sapiens-Sapiens-Paracas is 25 per cent larger and 60 per cent heavier than that of a conventional human skull.

• [Editor’s Note] It sounds like these mainstream scientists concluded that this had to be a new human sub-species indigenous to the Earth according to the generally accepted scientific principle that there’s no such thing as extraterrestrials. Nothing in the given evidence contradicts the theory that they could be remnants of an Anunnaki species that was stranded on the Earth after the pole shift in 12,000 BC that shifted Atlantis to the South Pole to become Antarctica. This makes more sense than a wildly deformed human sub-species that migrated 15,000 miles from the Caucuses eastward to Peru at the beginning of the Iron Age.

 

Researcher Brian Foerster initially thought the discovery would not fit into the “known evolutionary tree”.

The Paracas skulls were discovered on the desert peninsula of Paracas, on the southern coast of Peru, by native archaeologist Julio Tello in 1928.

In 2015, discussing earlier DNA tests on the remains, he said: “The mitochondrial DNA (from the mother) presented mutations unknown to any man, primate or any other animal and the mutations suggested we are dealing with a completely new human-like being, very distant from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals or Denisovans.

“I am not sure it will even fit into the known evolutionary tree.”

Research by skeptics later uncovered that those involved had a history of involvement and belief in research into paranormal subjects such as the Yeti and so-called alien hybrids, an alleged cross breed between humans and aliens.

Skeptics argue the skulls are just another example of intentional cranial deformation, as seen among many ancient South American tribes.

Now Mr Foerster, who is director of the Paracas History Museum, has released details of DNA tests he said were carried out in conjunction with the Peruvian Government and he appears to now accept they were probably human in origin.

In two video updates about the DNA, Mr Foerster made no mention of extraterrestrials.
He described how the Paracas skulls appeared to share DNA links with other elongated skulls found between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

Mr Foerster believes the elongation is not just caused by artificial cranial deformation, but rather by genetics with some of the elongated skulls cranial volume being up to 25 per cent larger and 60 per cent heavier than conventional human skulls.

He says this means that they could not have been intentionally deformed through head binding or flattening, as cranial deformation can change the shape but does not alter the volume or weight of a skull.
Speaking at the Elongated Skulls Symposium in Los Angeles, Mr Foerster said: “What it does show for sure is that the Paracas elongated skull people were not 100 per cent Native American.

“They were a mix or even you could say, in some ways, a hybrid of different people.

“Their blood types are very complicated as well, they should be blood type O if they’re 100 percent Native American and that’s not the case.

“We are likely looking at a sub-species of humanity as regards to the Paracas. It seems to be a lot of DNA evidence from extreme eastern Europe and extreme western Asia.

“More specifically I’m talking about the area in between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea where ancient elongated skull people lived I think about 3,000 years ago.

“So I think we are looking at a migration pattern starting in the Caspian Black Sea area and then entering through the Persian Gulf and then moving eastwards eventually winding up on the coast of Peru.”

He added: “It appears that the largest elongated skulls on the planet have been found, A in Paracas, Peru and B in the Caucasus area in between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

“So my theory is that there was a sub-species of human which we are going to be eventually calling Homo-Sapiens-Sapiens-Paracas, and they were living in the area in between the Caspian and Black Sea.
“They were invaded by somebody and so they were forced to flee.”

Archaelogist Mr Tello found more than 300 of the odd skeletal remains in a complex grave system in 1928.

Scientists say it was the most extreme example of skull elongation, a deformation practice carried out by several ancient cultures by binding infants heads through pieces of wood, ever found.

Many conspiracy theorists remain convinced they must have been the skulls of visiting aliens.
