The UFO phenomenon is real, but no one can prove who or what is causing it. This blog explores the research done over many decades, showing that the UFO phenomenon is of profound existential and scientific significance.
"Linda Moulton Howe - Guest George Knapp." Published on Earthfiles' YouTube channel 13th October, 2018. Duration: 1:59:37.
PHENOMENON Radio with co-hosts Linda Moulton Howe, Reporter and Editor of Earthfiles.com, and retired USAF Tech Sgt. John Burroughs.
Our guest is Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist George Knapp, head of the I-Team at KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the spring of 2018, George received documents from the Department of Defense through unidentified sources.
The interview with George Knapp starts at 7:00 minutes. Knapp is being asked by Linda and John about the history of AAWSAP and AATIP, the link between Senator Harry Reid and Robert "Bob" Bigelow, the DIA's role in the Skinwalker Ranch research, and other information.
Very informative to listen to George Knapp talk about how government works and the political battle inside the Pentagon about the study of the UFO phenomena and AAWSAP in particular. And his information, which many times comes from the horse's mouth, in part backs up some things I raise in this post.
Other interesting revelations in this interview are:
At least two foreign nations attempted to penetrate the AATIP.
How the visit from the DIA at the Skinwalker Ranch acted as the spark that ignited AAWSAP and AATIP.
The strange events at Skinwalker Ranch may have caused some government officials to dislike AAWSAP, leading to its end.
"UFO Invasion of 1952. Richard Dolan, UFOs the Big Picture." Streamed live on 29th of September, 2018, on Richard Dolan's YouTube channel. Duration: 29:30 minutes.
Richard Dolan on the 1952 UFO Invasion - This presentation involves one of the most forgotten but major years in the history of UFOs, at least as far as we've been keeping track of it, and that year is 1952. It is the great forgotten year in the United States. The number of good UFO sightings reached their highest total ever, at least in the pre-internet era.
Why so many UFO sightings in the USA in 1952? Was it just in the USA? What were the consequences in the form of U.S. Air Force and Navy policy regarding reporting UFO sightings and encounters? In other words, why is the year 1952 so significant in the history of UFOs and how does it help us understand the complex issue of disclosure of the UFO phenomena?
You may not get the answers to all the questions above in Richard Dolan's overview of the major year of 1952. So, I recommend the reader do some inquiries on their own. Doing your own research into the year of 1952 is well worth your time and effort if you want - or need - some evidence of the military and intelligence agencies' serious interest in and concern over mysterious and advanced flying objects.
Your own research will also give you a deeper and broader understanding of the complex issue of disclosure and that the national "security apparatus" never has been a monolithic entity.
The complexity of disclosure is perhaps not so much about the UFO phenomena itself, but more about human vanity, ignorance, greed, pride, and power dynamics between individuals in different branches and factions in the military and intelligence agencies. There have always been individuals and groups of individuals within the national security apparatus that have been for or against a disclosure of the UFO issue.
As I have said before, I believe - I do not know it to be a fact - something in the dynamics in the power structure of the national security apparatus has changed, and this change has likely been going on for some time before the confirmation of the reality of the UFO phenomena by the Pentagon and the Department of Defence in December, 2017 (the New York Times AATIP-articles).
We've also learned about a different Pentagon program, AAWSAP, that has researched paranormal and UFO events at Skinwalker Ranch.
The study of UFO history - the human side of it - is crucial to understanding what is going on with the UFO issue today.
"Leonard Susskind on The World as A Hologram." Published on tvochannel on the 4th of November, 2011. Duration: 55:26 minutes.
Leonard Susskind of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics discusses the indestructibility of information and the nature of black holes in a lecture entitled The World As Hologram.
In one of my previous posts, I wrote about why a faction of the national security state apparatus has lied about the UFO issue for seven decades. I also wrote about the complexity of the UFO issue, and that thecomplexity as such can be one reason we live in an era of a careful and selective disclosure-process, rather than in an era of full disclosure of the UFO phenomena.
Before I move on, I should point out that Professor Leonard Susskind is not in any way associated with the UFO phenomena or subject. Why a lecture by Prof. Susskind on a blog about the UFO phenomena?
Well, Susskind and others might explain some of the more bizarre aspects of UFOs and "high strangeness" with their work on the hypothesis of the universe as a hologram.
I will not pretend that I have a deep understanding of what Prof. Susskind is lecturing about, or what kind of general inferences it is correct or not to make from the hologram-hypothesis. It is more on an intuitive-level that I sense that the hologram-hypothesis fits with some events, displays, and behaviours of UFOs, frequently reported in sightings, and especially among experiencers.
Maybe the holographic principle can offer a tentative explanation of how some of the UFOs travel to, or manifest in, what we perceive and call our reality.
Leonard Susskind's lecture centres on "information" and the ability to work with it, such as encoding and decoding. The holographic principle says, according to Susskind in the lecture: The maximum amount of information in a region of space is proportional to the area of the region.
According to Susskind in the lecture, we know that the part of the universe that is beyond our horizon to observe is at least 1000 times larger in volume than the observable horizon of the universe. We also know that the universe is expanding at an increased rate of acceleration.
Is our cosmic horizon (the visible universe) a two-dimensional hologram of all that lies beyond it? That is, what we think of as reality, life on Earth and the entire universe may be a two-dimensional mathematical representation of a three-dimensional mathematical representation that is 1000 times larger in volume and which we cannot directly observe. Our reality and universe may be a holographic representation of... something else, for lack of a better word.
Is this some kind of likeness of the ideas of Pythagoras and Socrates (or Plato, depending on how you look at it)?
Anyhow, what does the holographic universe got to do with the UFO phenomena? Perhaps everything?! Or nothing. Or perhaps to some extent?
I do not know; it is more of a hunch. I hope readers of this blog, more knowledgeable in science than I, can discern the relevance of Susskind's lecture to the UFO phenomena, if any.
In the lecture, Prof. Susskind begins by talking about the horizon of black holes acting as holographs. At the 48 minutes mark of the lecture, he then takes a cosmological perspective and generalises the concepts and laws from the black hole part of the lecture to being "true" for the entire universe.
I can't help but think we can study and investigate the stranger aspects of the Skinwalker Ranch phenomenon using the theoretical framework of the universe as a hologram. The phenomenon at Skinwalker Ranch obviously knows how to manipulate our three dimensions + time.
