Disclosure?



If and When disclosure comes, I would imagine it will be something like this and not governments actually coming out.

Perspective

Note: The following piece is a collection of meandering thoughts: It is not in the least bit analytical.

I was traveling home from a trip to the north of Germany, trying to sleep away some of the insistently boring landscape. As one is apt to do, when confronted by miles and miles of farm land, my mind started to drift and meander. Ideas, thoughts, images began to flow: not all of them coherent. However, one sequence of thoughts / images did escape the trash bin of my mind, to form a fairly coherent narrative.

Follow me if you will -and I will show you the world in a grain of sand. 

One man, sitting on a train with approximately 300 other people.
One train, out of several dozen moving throught out Germany. 
One country, of about 80 million people in Europe. 
One continent*, of about 855 million people. 
One world, of about 7 billion people. 
One planet, of 8* in our solar system.    
One sun, of about 200 billion stars in our galaxy.
One question, are we alone? 

In perspective, in context,  the absurdity of  saying "we're alone" should be self evident. How utterly arrogant is it to say, "we are the sole arbiters of logic, reason and understanding" To proclaim to the heavens above "I think, therefore I am- And I am the only capable of thought and reason" Yes, the inverse would be true too; to proclaim "we're not alone" and I know it because, I can think, reason and deduce.

Dare I say, the only "reasonable" course to take, is one of agnostic skepticism, armed with our clumsy, but trustworthy, sword of scientific method? It seems to be the only solution is just that- after all, it is all we have.

Magnetic Hyperthermia. Strange Technology.

While researching something completely unrelated, I came across this "possibly" new method of treating cancerous cells. In essence, the technique proposed, would inject iron-nano particles into the cancerous tumor, and via magnetic fields, heat up the cells, tumor to (at least) 40 degrees Celsius.  With the extreme heat, the cells would ´be killed (actually, out right destroyed) and thus preventing further growth of the tumor. Intrigued, I decided to dig a little further, and came across this technical paper on the whole procedure (from Rice University 2006)

And, of course this got me thinking. What they are proposing, in essence is a phazer of sorts to "zap" the cancerous cells. Granted, in the procedureas described above, they would add "targeted nano-iron particles" to ensure that only those cells with the extra iron would be destroyed. However, as we all know, the human body already contains a significant amount of iron, In fact according to the American Red Cross, one pint of blood contains about 250 milligrams of iron: which may at first not sound like very much; but for this use may be enough.

Imagine for a moment if you will, what would happen if every iron atom in your body suddenly increased in temperature- basically, causing the boiling of blood within a few moments. And if the heat increase were fast enough, one would think there would not be an explosion per se, rather an instantaneous vaporization; very much like the phazers of sci-fi lore.

-Just something to think about, and how our current technology very much represents (and is) something most strange indeed.

Ministry of Defense UAP statistics. (overview)

In December of 2000, the Defense Intelligence Analysis Staff of the British MOD complied a report on UAP sightings over the United Kingdom. Contained within this report, amongst other insightful tidbits: were the annualized numbers of sightings from 1959 through 1997. Now it occurred to me, that these data provided by the MOD, were bound to be more reliable than data collected by private organizations: primarily based on the fact that the ratio of pranksters, and bored drunken youngsters would be of representative insignificance. That is to say, it is easy for a bored teen to prank a private organizations, as compared to the British Ministry of Defense. Further, the two years which will be discussed presently, are from a time just before "the internet" became widely available to universities, let alone private connections. Lastly, these years also present a time, of a slightly more "conservative" Briton (as compared to contemporary society.) And as such, are probably some of the more reliable numbers to be found in regards to UAP sightings.

The MOD technical report's annualized "event reports" for 1977 and 1978 were chosen for this brief meta-analysis, as they represent one of the more striking contrasts of the whole 36 year period. Ideally, a deeper analysis should be made of the whole period, with the goal of teasing out any predictive qualities which might be contained therein.

1977 - 1978

In the year 1977 there were 425 reported sightings to the MOD. In the year 1978 there were nearly twice as many.(750) The first and most pertinent question to be asked about these data, would be, what was the cause of the seemingly dramatic increase in UAP sightings between those two years? One approach to addressing this question would be to compile all atmospheric data for the corresponding years, and compare any such anomalous events from year on year. By comparing these data from year on year, any corollary between weather phenomenon (as suggested in the MOD report) and Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon could be found. This is something which is being done presently; however, and as always, I am more than open to volunteers and suggestions to this path of investigation.

For this brief analysis however, a social-cultural perspective has been used. Choosing to research any possible correlations between the reported UAP events and that of cultural / social events is in the real of "overview" at best, and at worst could lead down false paths of investigation. Having that said though, there are some interesting cultural events which do seem to have played (at least to some extent) a part in the increase of UAP sightings over the United Kingdom. In the following Headlined sections, some of the more interesting (possible) causes will be highlighted.

Hollywood (as acting agent.)
Star Wars
UK 27 December 1977
Close Encounters.
UK 13 March 1978

Now it would seem, with these two movies alone, the collective consciousness of the UK would be literally buzzing with the idea of UFOs / UAPs. And to some extent I am sure that is correct; however, this would be another area, where looking into later years, and other theatrical releases would be of benefit. Further, to reiterate what was said earlier, these numbers are UAP events reported thttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifo the Ministry of Defense, and not that of the local radio show.

Space Programs.
Soviet satellite Cosmos 954 burns up in Earth's atmosphere.
Soyuz 28 (Aleksei Gubarev, Vladimir Remek) is launched on a rendezvous with Salyut 6
Charon, a satellite of Pluto, is discovered.
The U.S. scientific satellite Seasat is launched.
A massive short circuit in Seasat's electrical system ends the satellite's scientific mission.


The above events too could hold a key to the increase in reported sightings, though again, they alone may not offer a full explanation. Further, as an aside, this year (1978) NASA was pretty much ran over by the Soviet space program: That is to say, during this time, the soviets had several successful launchers, whereas NASA had only one, and if failed after 10 days.


Religion.

August 6 – Pope Paul VI dies in Rome.
August 26 – Pope John Paul I succeeds Pope Paul VI as the 263rd Pope.
September 28 – Pope John Paul I dies after only 33 days of papacy.
October 16 – Pope John Paul II succeeds Pope John Paul I as the 264th pope.

The above almost speaks for itself as for relevance; it is of note however, that Briton, does have a rather mixed history with the Catholic Church.

___________________________________

As stated before, the above is more of a thumbnail sketch, a "meta-analysis" of cultural / social causes to mass UAP / UFO sightings. Any predictive qualities, (unlike the atmospheric proposal) would be difficult, at best to define. Further, evaluating social causes to these sightings is a rather subjective affair; making it harder to concretely say: When popes die, people see UFOs.(or the reverse, when people see UFOs, popes die.) What would be of note, and worthy of further research would be a combination of the two meta-analysis (cultural and atmospheric) combined with a greater data-set (the whole 36 year period). This would provide a fuller picture of the "current" situation, and perhaps allow elements of predictability to emerge.
