Phoenix Lights Anniversary

Today is March 13 - the anniversary of the Phoenix Lights.  When tens of thousands of people saw something….

Today at work, one of my esteemed team members trotted out what he felt was a small piece of wisdom but did not realize was a tired old chestnut.  He asked the `standard questions’…..

WHY ISN’T THERE ANY EVIDENCE?

Depends on what you call evidence.  Do pictures, video, radar traces, audio recordings, witness testimony, and newspaper clippings count?

Ted Phillips, of the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), has been documenting trace evidence of UFOs for thirty years or so.  He has hundreds and hundreds of cases that have been researched scientifically.  Testing has been done on all evidence.

That’s a lot of evidence.

WHY DON’T THEY LAND ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN?

In 1952, for two weekends in a row, something buzzed the White House.
Lots of lights were quite visible to anyone who looked.  Look it up… it got plenty of newspaper coverage.

In 1949 there was an event referred to as the Battle of Los Angeles.  Something was flying over the area.  The military had troops all over the place, spotlights pointed skyward, and were firing projectiles like mad at whatever it was.  The people were terrified, thinking Japan was invading.  There was one death from falling debris.  The military succeeded in missing whatever they were shooting at.  This also got wide newspaper coverage.

Twice in the past few years, Stephenville, Texas has been home to aerial sightings.  Thousands of people saw the ubiquitous something flying around.  Hundreds gave statements.

In November 2007, a ufo was spotted above Chicago O’Hare Airport, one of the busiest airports in the country.  The object was above terminal C, the United terminal.  It hovered for a while in plain sight, then took off straight up, leaving a hole in the clouds.  The airport knew the object was there; tapes reveal them routing traffic around it.  The United ground crew saw it too.

NASA KNOWS SOMETHING:

Astronaut Gordon Cooper filmed a ufo on the moon and stated this publicly.  Astronaut Edgar Mitchell says they exist and they’re not ours.

The Space Station and Shuttle are amazing inventions, allowing us to see things we’ve never seen before.  All transmissions were in the clear until a radio amateur (ham) recorded a segment of a transmission describing a ufo.  As of the next mission, there was a scrambled frequency for this type of thing.

NASA has also hoisted itself on its own petard by releasing video.  Go to YouTube and search for Space Shuttle or NASA.  You’ll see all sorts of `interesting’ footage that NASA tries to explain away as `space debris’, the modern equivalent of swamp gas.

THERE ARE NO RELIABLE WITNESSES - ONLY YOKELS:

Would you refer to any number of astronauts as yokels?
How about police? 
Airplane pilots - do you suppose their eyes aren’t well-trained? 
The military? 
Air traffic controllers?  At O’Hare Airport?
The man whose story brought us the term `flying saucer’ observed them while flying his own plane.   Kenneth Arnold was a pretty qualified observer, I’d say.

MEANWHILE BACK IN PHOENIX:

Tens of thousands of people spotted an object larger than a football field moving very slowly across the Phoenix area.  At times it appeared to hover.  It made no sound at all… if you didn’t look up, you wouldn’t know it was there.

Some people only saw the boomerang shape made by the lights.  Others noticed that the lights were part of something.  This particular something was so massive it blacked out the sky.

Naturally the Air Force had nothing in the area and knew nothing about the object.  Only later did they reverse themselves and claim it was a flare drop.  They really need to get their prevaricating straight.  Even the Unquestioning (most of America) are smart enough to know that flares dropping do not move as one unit, do not hover, do not move horizontally, and do not black out the sky by blocking the stars.

ENTER THE GOV:

A local politican named Frances Barwood got somewhere in the neighborhood of eight hundred calls after the sighting and began investigating.  She inquired at the governor’s office also.

Governor Fife Symington held a press conference, stating that he had the answer to the lights.  Out walks an assistant dressed up in an alien costume.  Symington has since `recanted’ and admitted that he saw it too.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like the math here.  The press conference was an act of monumental stupidity, unprecedented in the annals of governmental press conferences.  When was the last time you saw a governor call a press conference to make a bad joke (aside from the economy)?

I suspect that Gov Symington was pulling the classic tactic of discrediting and ridiculing.  This is a widespread tool in the disinformation toolbox (look up `cointelpro’).  If you can’t dispute the message, discredit the messenger.  Draw attention away from the message.

In spite of Symington’s recent `coming clean’ effort, I don’t trust him for obvious reasons.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

To my coworker, and thus to all of you, I ask what more do you want?  The evidence is there.  Start studying.  Research some of the well known cases. 

I am by no means telling you what is flying around up there.  In some cases, it really is Venus.  In other cases, the objects are ours.  But in the remainder, something unidentified is flying around.  To the best of anybody’s knowledge, we don’t have machines that can make those moves.

PARTING THOUGHT:

On the matter of ufo secrecy, it occurs to me that all is not as it seems.  Our government, and to a lesser extent the rest of the world, has gone to extremes to actively deny that there are any such thing as ufo’s. 

One must ask the question WHY they spend that kind of money and put forth that much effort to prove something doesn’t exist.  Again, the math is funny here.  You don’t put out those kinds of resources unless you’re really invested in the outcome.  Would a child hire an armored division to guard his allowance on its way to a (failing) bank?

What could be so big that most of the world’s governments are actively involved in denying its existence?  <— that’s the trillion dollar question.

I don’t know about you but I’m a big boy.  I can take the truth - just tell me what it is.  I don’t want to be babysat and fed television: respect me enough to be straight with me.

Think.
