Astronaut says aliens are among us

Sunday July 27, 2008

Categories: Varia

What do you make of the former US astronaut who says that the government knows aliens have been visiting earth for over 60 years, but won't own up to it in part because they don't want to panic people?

I've blogged before about a family I grew up with that had a terrifying encounter with a UFO. I don't know what to think about the possibility of alien life. I suppose it could be true, but I don't feel compelled to come to a conclusion one way or another. Anybody here ever had a close encounter with a UFO?

Report of UFO sighting have been made by aircraft pilots from several countries.Typically they experienced disturbance ranging from interferences to total failures in their navigational system such as transponder,radar contact,gyro-compass,automatic direction finders and the functioning of the aircraft when those UFO are near by. Some reports suggests that those UFO are able to neutralize weapons system aboard military aircraft as well as earth based weapon systems. Some believes that those E.T. have advanced technology and are able to manipulate time and space.
Currently,anyone who claims to have seen an Extra Terrestrial being or an UFO is taxed as crazy.
In 1977 the Premier Minister of Grenada,West Indies, Sir. Eric Gary asked the United Nations to set up an agency to investigate the phenomenon.Gary was the only government official that publicly acknowledges the existence of UFO.Rumors have it that In 1988 the U.S. President Ronald Reagan and the President of the Soviet Union Mikhal Gorbachev discussed in private, a military alliance against an hypothetical E.T. attack. In May 2008 Father Funes reported in the Vatican paper, L'osservatore Romano,that Extra terrestrial life cannot be disproved and does not contradict the Catholic faith.Monsignor Balducci from the Vatican beleive that E.T. might exist.
So,If E.T. don't exist why on July 16,1969 the US Government passed the "Extra Terrestrial Exposure" law. Title 14,Section 1211 of the code of the Federal Regulations states that it is illegal for the public to come into contact with extra terrestrials or their vehicles.Anyone found guilty could face up one year imprisonment as well as a fine of $ 5000 and could be quarantined under armed guard by NASA Administrator without a hearing.
I feels that the world network of satellites and surveillance cameras might be able to show their pictures sometime in the future.Meanwhile, scientists continue to work with the Drake equation and the Fermi paradox in quest of an answer.

Title 14,Section 1211 of the code of the Federal Regulations states that it is illegal for the public to come into contact with extra terrestrials or their vehicles.Anyone found guilty could face up one year imprisonment as well as a fine of $ 5000 and could be quarantined under armed guard by NASA Administrator without a hearing.
That is, in fact, completely wrong. Title 14 exclusively concerns itself with the Coast Guard, and does not go up to section 1211.


What the law you're talking about, the one I can't find at the moment, states is that people coming in contact with spacecraft or space debris can be quarantined for medical reasons. Just like people can be quarantined if a pandemic breaks out.


Despite the paranoia, and the fascist implications of imprisonment without any sort of trial, the fact is that a medical quarantine is almost never used under any circumstances whatsoever (for humans, at least), and it requires a doctor's determination to do so. And as it is not prison, and you still have all your rights except for freedom of movement, you could trivially still tell your story to the media.


And people who tamper with spacecraft can indeed be fined, although that actually only applies to US spacecraft.

My husband and I saw something strange just once. We were both university students then and sitting up on a hill in the evening. We were lying on our backs on the grass looking at the stars when we saw a small light, like a star, move slowly from north to south. It was far too high to be a plane but we thought it may have been a satellite. Then it stopped almost directly above us, a little to the right. We didn't know if satellites did that so were weren't surprised by it. Then, suddenly, it shot back across the sky from south to north at a simply amazing speed. It didn't fade out like a meteorite and it's acceleration was barely perceptible - it just shot across the sky instantly. It was very peculiar.

lol, why doesn't the government step up already? Every one knows the truth except the harden sceptics the will never believe anything until the peers tell them to. They are not protecting us from keeping this information, it is only kept for reasons of power and greed, releasing this information and technology will create millions of jobs well saving the planet. They are literally suppression our natural evolution. And at the same time creating more and more distrust of governments every day.

Give up the information already, geesh.
