UFOs
Note: You may wish to check out the left NavBar, for webpages on "UFO Mystery" and "Roswell
Incident".
"The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true
science.
He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.
It was the experience of mystery — even if mixed with fear — that engendered
religion."
SPECIAL WEB ARTICLE
If you believe that the Cold War is over, that the KGB is no longer active,
that Russian or Soviet Communism is dead, that Siberian incarceration is over,
etc., etc., etc. ... think again!
And if you think that the UFO phenomenon is just for the fringe crowd, the
kooks, the 'need to get a life' layabouts, and the pseudoscientists, etc.,
etc., etc. ... think again!
The videos are a bit longish than perhaps necessary ... and there are some
boring parts, here and there, especially for the 'fast crowd' with byte-sized
attention spans ... but nevertheless the 9-part YouTube video is an eye-opener
of a documentary produced and aired during the last years of the 20th century
(specifically, in 1998).
UFOs are serious stuff to the Russians ... so don't take things too lightly!
Especially in this new 21st Century ...
If the Russians think UFOs are real, and if they think they can
reverse-engineer UFO-Alien technology to their political, economic, military
and security (PEMS) advantage ... well, the 21st Century might just become a
Russian century, and we might
all just be sipping illegal Volka in underground resistance-movement hideaways
(much like the French Resistance folks back during the Second World War)!
Now ... do things begin to take on a new light?
UFOs, Aliens, Ancient Astronauts, Roswell, Alien Autopsies, ...
(Articles - Page 02 of 03)
Here are collations of interesting stuff about the more sensational Mysteries
involving UFOs and Aliens, including such topics as "The Secret KGB UFO Files",
the mysterious explosion in Siberia in 1908 that came to be called the Tunguska
Event or Phenomenon, the Alien Abduction Phenomenon, the Nazca Lines in Peru,
the ideas of famous UFOlogy authors such as Erich von Däniken, theories of
Ancient Astronauts, various famous UFO Sightings (including Kenneth Arnold's
1947 UFO Sighting that started it all ... and the flap has so far not ended),
as well as numerous stuff on Aliens, Alien Autopsy, Roswell, and the like ...
(This could have been an ELE - extinction-level event - if it had occurred a
few hours earlier or later, over a heavily-populated region other than remote
Siberia)
(an introduction to the topic of alien abductions, with notes and YouTube
videos)
Alien Abduction - from the Penn & Teller 'BULLSHIT!' TV presentation show
(warning! lots of use of words like "bullshit" and "f___", otherwise a healthy
and comedic and definitely skeptical viewpoint from these magicians who
uncovered frauds ... and BULLSHIT!!!)
(features various ufology authors, including Ronald Story, author and editor of The Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters and The Encyclopedia of UFOs, as well as British writer Graham Hancock of Fingerprints of the Gods fame, and nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, self-styled "The Flying Saucer
Physicist")
(1st video is based on Erich von Däniken's book, Chariots of the Gods?; and 2nd video is a History — or Discovery? — Channel documentary
on Ancient Astronauts)
(the blurb says: This is an extremely rare TV re-edit of Harald Reinl's "Chariots of the Gods",
based on the book by Erich Von Däniken ... and narrated by the one and only Rod
Serling ... [of Twilight Zone fame])
(three YouTube video clips: UFO's with Jesus - Yugoslavia Monastery Painting;
plus "Real Alien Sighting? or Act of God? (Parts 1 & 2)", a 2-part documentary
about microscopic ET lifeforms descending on Kerala, South India as "red rain")
Please do not assume or conclude that, just because I present many views (in
the form of textual notes and video clips) on this website, it means that I am
in agreement with or that I believe in the views offered-proferred ... That
would be displaying such a parochial and provincial attitude, towards this
website and towards me as well!
As an ex-military officer, I assure you that I am in the habit of reading,
viewing and digesting lots of stuff that I don't necessarily believe in ... We
call all the stuff we read, view and digest, 'military intelligence' ... The
same applies with 'business intelligence' in the business world, of course.
Our aim, as usual, is to find out what others (including our friends, enemies,
competitors, suppliers, strategic partners, business partners, etc.) believe in
... In order to do that effectively, we have to 'get out of the way', so to
speak ... we have to remove our humongous ego! ... else we will never ever
really have gotten started in our journey of exploration and discovery of the
Mysteries of the World
.
Here is a sentiment that I am wholeheartedly in agreement with ...
As I sit down to redo this book for an American audience, what rises before me
is last night's dream: I'm in a broad and beautiful land among many trees. It's
night. I look up at a huge old tree that's dark against the starry sky in its
detail of twig and branch. There is room enough here for all of us, I realize,
here in this big, intricately textured park. But I see that some want to cut
down the trees and level it out, so huge throngs of people can gather to gaze
up at the sun's glare. I watch dark twigs fingering the remote, untouchable
stars. A voice speaks: "Don't turn this into a Copernican Garden."
Waking up, I remember that I went to sleep wondering how to put this book
together. And I take "Copernican Garden" to mean a parking lot vista where
masses gather to honor the bright sun of traditional science with its old rules
as the center of the universe.
So I will not cut down the trees and level this book out. It is between you and
me [or you and I], a conversation as we stroll along in a moonlit fractal
garden past webby connections of thought that merge to patterned insight. Here
hidden delights nestle in scaling patterns of self-similar but never quite
repeating beauty. Here the tree of life hold stars in its branches. No matter
how huge, this garden stays human-sized because we have a place in it, you and
I. No need to cut down the connective forest and level things out for that
bright Sol [sun] of left-brain logic whose daytime dazzle — so
close and glaring — can blind us to the myriad constellations
beyond.

Merging East and West
(1994, 1996)
Here is an observation (adapted) made in the Acknowledgement page of a book ...
It takes many minds to produce a book [including an e-book, of course].
Although most authors [especially of non-fiction books and articles] would
prefer not to admit this fact, fundamentally they are merely 'synthesisers' of
accumulated knowledge.
The process of synthesising may unveil a new reality map, or paradigm, which,
in due course, will be used by future pioneers to unveil further paradigms.
This principle was summed up by Sir Isaac Newton when he remarked: "If I have
seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants".

As stated in our
Mysteries Blog
, the 'Mysteries of the World' Website does NOT aim to sensationalize any
particular 'Mystery', although we will examine and explore all possible
viewpoints pertaining to each 'Mystery' — including the fringe
AND the mainstream.
We will, of course, come to a conclusion (eventually!) about each 'Mystery' ...
even if that conclusion may eventually turn out to be 'as yet unresolved' or
'unexplained to our satisfaction'.
