"The biggest conspiracy has always been that there's no conspiracy. Nobody's out to get you. Nobody gives a **** whether you live or die. There, you feel better now?" - Dennis Miller

As a race, we will never be introduced to aliens from another planet. It's not that they don't exist; they are very real and have been visiting and living on Earth since we became Homo Sapiens. Quite frankly, aliens are the most dangerous threat to our way of life, and it isn't necessarily because they want to harm us. It's because the human race relies on the fact that we are alone. That is an exrtremely stable base for the majority of people to live by; change that, and society will also change rapidly (and not necessarily in the best way for certain controlling parties).

There's loads of references to aliens, to eye-witness accounts and to people claiming to have been part of alien-based projects. There's also many mysteries tied into aliens too; New World Order, Area 51, alien/human hybrids... there's a big list. And the majority of us will never know for sure, although we can come to some pretty scary conclusions. Below are a few of the reasons aliens are here, and also why we will never have "the big discovery".

By the way, I've never seen an alien, I don't know if they exist 100% but I believe that some events are real. I did see a UFO once; two pink balls of light zipped above my head. That was about it.

Aliens have always been somewhere in, on and around the Earth. Up until the late 1930s, all alien races had little need for Earth and its inhabitants. Some, like the Anunnaki (more on these peeps later) have always used the Earth to collect a few minerals and resources. Others have had no interest – that is, until World War 2 escalated an arms and technological race that raised mankind’s profile, at least in terms of how it could be exploited.

During the later stages of WW2, both allied and axis planes reported large balls of light following them. These were in fact small scout craft who were gathering military intelligence about the human race’s offensive and defensive capabilities. This was the first stages of an invasion, but was stopped in its tracks by mankind’s detonation of the atomic bomb. Most alien races fear atomic energy for the simple fact that it can be absolutely devastating, and that there is no defense against it. Considering the potential risks, the aliens aborted its plans and waited.

In 1947, one of the most documented and famous UFO incidents occurred at Roswell, New Mexico. On July 8^th, a Grey “flying Saucer” lost control in Earth’s atmosphere – most races have terrible issues flying craft in Earth’s uncontrolled weather – and went to ground in the desert. A few local townsfolk managed to visit the site before military control could be established by the USAF 509^th Bomb Group, and some details and materials were leaked out to local media sources. These reports were successfully dismissed and the real details were kept locked away until around 1980, when the good ol' National Reporter started gathering eyewitness reports about the incident. It is now an incident that is iconic with aliens and governmental cover-ups.

The real story is very close to the reports in the media. A Grey disc-shaped craft did crash in the New Mexico desert. Three alien bodies were recovered and, more importantly, one live alien. The craft had spread wreckage over a huge area; eventually, the craft and its occupants were transported to Groom Lake military base for dissemination. The live alien was kept as a “welcome prisoner” whilst trying to contact its homeworld around Zeta-Reticuli, now known as the planet Serpo.

The materials were mostly alloys that were hard to identify. Most notably was the identification and eventual reverse-engineer of a transistor computer processor.

Between 1947 and 1953, about 15 spaceships were recovered around the world, mostly on American soil but several in the USSR and a couple in Europe. All were comparable in terms of occupants and technology – they were all from the same race. However, only one live alien was ever retrieved and kept. This alien was nicknamed Ebe and was eventually sent back to its homeworld. However, its “phone home” signal brought others to Earth. Incidentally, the film ET is loosely based on this event. Remember what they say about truth being stranger than fiction? :-)

In 1954, three large spaceships took up orbit around the Earth. They were Greys - representatives from Serpo, and wanted to make a deal with the American government who were keeping Ebe as their guest. The Grey race was genetically damaged, and unable to sexually reproduce. They needed fresh DNA to start a repair for their race. They wanted to make a “home away from home” on Earth in exchange for technology. The deal, later known as the Plato Project/Treaty, is stated as:

· The American government will not interfere with the issues of the Serpos during their inhabitation of Earth,

· The Serpos will not interfere with the issues of the American government during their inhabitation of Earth,

· The Serpos will be permitted to abduct a small amount of American adult human beings for genetic testing and study; each human will not suffer or be harmed, and will not be able to recollect the abduction,

· The American government will not disclose the location or existence of the Serpos,

· The Serpos will give the American Government details and example of Serpo technology.

· The American government will provision for a number of underground bases for use by the Serpos.

It was very clear that within a few months, the Greys were abducting a lot more humans than agreed. Also, children were amongst the abductees. In 1955, the American government re-drafted the deal to force the Greys to keep and deliver records of the people they were abducting. This was not adhered to, but by then, it was estimated that 20 million Greys had now relocated to alien underground bases in America. This is the root of the Alien problem; the Greys are able to do whatever they want, when they want. There have been attempts to dislodge the Greys from their bases, but now the Americans simply trade technology to at least try to gain something from the badly-thought out deal. The abductions and mutilations are like "collatoral damage", which is why most cases are ignored and poo-poo'd where possible.

So this is the crux of the problem; we have an alien race, here on Earth, that is using humans as a gene-pool to get their species back up and running by force. Sadly, if the aliens appeared now, we'd probably be in a better state to receive them publically and help them out ethically. Instead, they are comparable to vampires in the night. It's a wonder anyone "in the know" can sleep at night. Furthermore, if aliens do have the technology to take, brain-wash and control, it is plausible that the heads of our governments are already under their control...

As the tale goes, another race tried to warn the Americans about the Serpos as they arrived in 1953. However, the greed for new technology over-rode any thoughts about how the aliens could exploit their position once established on Earth.

Here's the reason why we will never have the above read out to us by the American government; imagine if the President stood up and said "yes, aliens are here, they are stealing people under their own will to implant trackers, embryos and other things in. We made a deal, and it went wrong." Three things will happen:

1. Panic. People will probably start taking matters into their own hands. Paranoia about aliens coming through the walls will take over. Faith in the military, law, and religion will dissolve.  The monetary system falls apart.  Complete global anarchy.

2. People will sue the government. Anyone who ever reported that they had an encounter with aliens will sue the american government, bankrupting the country. Then number 1 will occur.

3. The aliens will invade Earth. Part of the original treaty was to keep their existence secret from the human race. If their cover is blown, then we may not be of use anymore.

Easy; you make the distance shorter between you and your destination. Imagine that you are stood on one end of a red carpet. On the other end is a bowl. Rather than walking along the carpet to fetch it, you pull the carpet towards you with your arms until you can reach out and take the bowl. This is how you can travel large distances - by dragging space towards you.

The trick with moving faster than light is to shoot a beam of gravity to a point many many light-years away, and attract it to you. You then roll over to the point that you've attracted, then release space so it snaps back to its original distance. This can only be done with an incredibly strong, polarised (i.e. directional) beam of gravity. How THAT can be done is beyond me, but according to the above photo, the four specks of light are the gravity beam generators. Apparently, we have had a crack at reverse-engineering this type of technology.

_{Warning! I know how precious people's beliefs are. I have an alternative theory about the origin of Man that ties into religion, but I am not preaching that it is the truth. It is simply an alternative that may or may not be interesting. If you are offended by alternative religious outlooks, please skip this part of the blog.}

_{In the Chalcolithic Era (around 4,500BC), Earth was visited by a race of aliens called the Anunnaki. They populated a small area of land in what is now known as Iraq and used this as a base of operations for their mining and resource-gathering activities. As time progressed, the pressure from Nibiru (their home planet) to expand operations grew to a heated political debate amongst the Anunnaki. The Anunnaki simply needed a race that were more suitable for hard labour on Earth. The most advanced indigenous race on the earth was the Neanderthal at that time; physically able but intellectually undeveloped, so it was decided that the Anunnaki would create a half-native - half-Anunnaki race, using Neanderthal DNA as a base template. The slave race, or Adamu, was created. Interestingly, this explains why the "missing link" between Neanderthal and modern Man has not been found; it wasn't a natural evolutionary jump, but a constructed one.}

_{Initially, the Adamu were denied intellectual and spiritual development in order to keep them compliant as a slave race. In time, they soon gained knowledge about their origin and rebelled, with the help of some Anunnaki who banded together under the group ‘Serpent’. Incidentally, the bible story concerning the Garden of Eden is based upon this period in mankind’s history, albeit with different meanings. The Garden of Eden was the Anunnaki base, the serpent was the people who freed the Adamu and the apple was spiritual knowledge. Unfortunately, religion took the banishment as a bad thing, whereas it actually gave us freedom.}

_{Finally, the Adamu were left alone to reproduce and carve out their own history. The Anunnaki left (temporarily) and returned to Niribu. Quickly, the Adamu soon became the dominant indigenous species on Earth, and became what we now call human beings.}

_{It is a sobering thought to realize that your origin is part-alien, and it is natural to feel panic at such a realization. However, without the gift of enhanced Anunnaki DNA, it is unlikely that mankind would have gained such a quick and firm footing on this planet.}

One of the most harrowing reports I have heard concerning aliens comes from the late Phil Schneider.

If you're not video-inclined, I'll give you the high-level account. Phil Schneider was a geologist/engineer making underground bases for the military. In one account, he states that there are 140+ underground bases in the US. On this ocassion, they were drilling down when they hit something. Lots of black soot and air came up out of the hole they were drilling. At that point, a lot of Black Berets commandos appeared on-site and accompanied Phil and a couple of others down this shaft to investigate. At the bottom, they encountered a lot of alien greys and a firefight broke out. Phil was hit by some sort of beam weapon and was pretty much splayed open. One of the soldiers shoved him back in the lift and sent him back up to the surface. All the soldiers were KIA. If you notice, Phil is missing some fingers on his left hand as a result of this encounter. The ray also gave him some type of cancer too.

Phil was found dead in a hotel room some years back. He gave instructions to family that if he was ever found dead and suicide was the verdict, get a second opinion. The verdict was suicide, so they got a second independent opinion as instructed. By all accounts, death was through strangulation from a soft material, probably a rubber hose.

Unfortunately, Phil was diagnosed as having some mental issues AFTER whatever happened at Dulce base, so this immediately placed all of his stories on the "loony" pile by default. In fairness, if I went down a mineshaft, found a huge base of aliens which fired at me, almost killing me and giving me cancer, I don't think I'd be passing any mental health test. Interestingly, Dulce base has always pointed at by ex-soldiers and scientists that have allegedly worked on these secret projects, stating that this is the source of the main human/alien collaboration projects.

Here's some other events which may or may not be true:

Blast at Tungusta - in 1908 (way before nuclear bombs), an airbust explosion of about 10 kilotons ocurred over the thankfully remote area of Russia called Tungusta. All the trees for miles around were flattened. People heard the explosion and felt the heat for many miles, indicative of a blast of some energy. It has been hypothesised that the explosion was a damaged UFO, its propulsion system powered by nuclear fission or a trace amount of dark matter. The explosion happened; what caused it has always been in doubt.

Future Invasion - some conspiracy theorists are preparing for a "false flag" event in order to start the New World Order. This will involve a fake invasion of aliens, bringing mankind together as one to combat the threat. Afterwards, mankind will be completely complient with demands for personal checks, monitoring and control, all in the name of planatary defense.

Castle on the Moon - There is by all accounts a lot of evidence of alien civilisation on the moon, hence why we have not been back for decades. One such item is a vast crystalline structure.

The soul - a few various sources have stated that aliens refer to humans as vessels or containers. By all accounts, humans contain a "soul matrix", or what we know as the soul. This can be extracted by machines using magnetic lodestones, and then inserting the soul into another host body. Some aliens have been said to be extremely envious of the Earth's magnetic field; another source said this is the only reason why some species of alien are interested in Earth.

Reptiles - Anyone that has read anything by David Ike will be familiar with the whole reptile theory; there is a race of aliens that are reptilian in nature. They are interested in humans as a source of "drugs" and food. The Internet is full of video "evidence" of famous people turning into reptiles, but most are fakes or low-quality videos.

Planet X/Niribu - Remember the Anunnaki? They came from the planet Nibiru, or Planet X. For some years, a few people have stated that Niribu is approaching Earth and will arrive in around 2012. For what purpose, who knows?

Magnetic break-down - Talking of 2012 (and not really to do with aliens), the magnetic field is said to reverse from 2012. This will cause a great upheaval, and the planet will be vulnerable to the Sun during this time.

Here's a thought; what if the American Government had to - had to - reveal all they know about aliens to the general public.  How would that happen?  A few months ago, I read that a lot of UFO/alien fanatics were putting a lot of hope in President Obama to come clean about the whole alien problem.  For most of the reasons above, I don't think that'll ever happen.

Anyway, if it were to happen, would it come out as a press conference?  Would it get leaked out through the newspapers?  The Internet as a medium would be useless; another alien story wouldn't get too far. 

Here's another thought; what if there has been a slow but constant attempt to reveal aliens to us anyway?  Think about all the ex-workers from Area 51 that have risked life and limb to tell us their stories.  Think about the videos that have been delivered to news stations and interest groups (not forgetting Phil Schneider too).  Then consider how tight security must be in american secret projects.  Even the Manhatten Project created less public attention than aliens, and the Manhatten Project was blowing great chunks of the earth up in atomic explosions!  Not easy to physically hide.

Anyway - consider that evidence/details have been OK'd to release to the public by the american government, then filtered out through ex-workers.  Slowly but surely, the aurthorities could watch the reaction and choose what to release next.  It's comparable to sexual images on TV; the images in "normal" pop videos would be considered extremely rude in the 40's, but because we're now bombarded by gyrating hips and adult content, we're generally de-sensitised to it.  The same might be said for the concept of aliens.  Drop an Alien grey into Times Square, people'll be less scared and panicked as if you dropped it into 1940s america.  Which is what pretty much happened.

The Internet is a gold-mine; you need to haul away tons of dirt to get to the gold. The link below will take you to a sample from a book called "Space Aliens from the Pentagon" by William R. Lyne. I've read this, and personally laugh at a lot of the proposals within this book. Quite simply, what's the point in designing and hiding flying saucers before the flying saucers/UFOs become mainstream? Also, talk about a sledgehammer to crack a walnut; build and design a piece of technological marvel in order to abduct cows and humans, something that an SUV with 4 guys in it would be able to do a lot easier. It's these details that personally do not make me believe the majority of the items in this book. I've heard no reference or hint of a standoff in 1945 between the Germans and the Americans involving neutron weapons, and you must admit that the Germans would have probably used this to stop WW2 if this was the case.

Generally, the facts on the link do lead the reader to ask one firm question; why? The default answer is "control", but again - "why?". There has to be a big reason in order to justify all the mind-wiping, abductions, lies, experiementation, hidden facts. If the governments of the world have been scheming and stock-piling these weapons of doom, then why? Who are they going to use them against? If there's controlling the populations of earth, then it cannot be us; kill everyone and they effectively lose the thing that they have put so much effort into controlling. Aliens? Well, there is no such thing as aliens according to the book. There has to be a reason for all the activities detailed in this book, and simply saying that it's to control the world has no sense unless there is a common goal.

Money has no meaning in this global context; if you control the world, you by design control all the money anyway, and since there is nothing that you need to purchase, money is therefore worthless. Control of a population is fine as long as you have a goal for them to accomplish. I think that the alien conspiracy makes more sense than a Trilateral/Illuminati/faceless government conspiracy.

The one piece of gold in this is the reference to Tesla. I have come across a few materials pointing to Tesla's work before, including references to Zero-Point Energy and several notes hinting that his work was generally suppressed for some reason. I don't believe that he was making flying saucers; I might be more inclined to believe that his work enabled us to understand alien technology or at least emulate it.

Please please watch the below video; I've seen a lot of camera footage of strange things, but this is something special. 

Assuming it's mostly real, then it does show some very interesting footage.  I find the NASA footage very interesting, as it does show that something has been seen by the astronauts.  The fact that their cameras are tracking these strange objects in the first place add authenticity to these segments.

I get a feeling that, from NASA's reactions and statements concerning UFOs, they are stuck in a very odd place.  I get the impression that they have to perform as best they can when working next to hazards that they are not allowed to comment on or react to.  I remember the invisible astronaut incident; they were simply so tight-lipped that it did seem like they were completely unsure how to handle it.  If mankind are going back to the moon in the next few years, then that means two things:

1.  We're going to have a complete and frank disclosure about aliens soon,

2.  Technology can now effectively remove any anomalies that are recorded on video.

If you're unsure about what the moon apparently holds, read on!

What do we know about the moon? It's our Mother Earth's only satellite, it was probably formed from the earth itself during its creation, and that it is lifeless. Or is it?

The moon was the goal for both the USA and Russia in the 50s and 60s. It was a race; first one to get to the moon and back wins. As we know, the Americans won, Apollo 11 landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20th 1969 (I don't believe that it was staged by the way; Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong have talked about UFOs on the moon, and I think they would have mentioned staged landing if this was the case) and the Russians eventually gave up due to internal issues. Interestingly, the Russians tried to put an unmanned probe onto the moon at about the same time as Apollo 11, but crash-landed on the surface the day after Neil and Buzz landed.

During these visits to the moon, many pictures were taken, samples of rock brought back for analysis, and experiements performed, including the famous feather and hammer test to prove the constant of gravity and acceleration. Publically, Apollo 17 was the last manned lunar landing on 20th December 1972. There hasn't been a single manned lunar expedition since.

There are some strange things about the moon that need mentioning:

• It "rings like a bell" when hit by an asteroid or other body. This might mean that it is hollow, and therefore artificial.
• Its spin on its axis is exactly the same as its spin around the earth. This results in the moon always showing us the same "face" regardless of where you are in the world. What is the chances of this happening in astronomical terms? This also results in the dark side of the moon never being on show to Earth, and has raised some questions about what is really on the other side.
• Several interesting artifacts have been captured on camera, including several crystalline structures and objects. Several astronauts have made comment about seeing UFOs when travelling to, from and on the moon.
• Apollo 13's accident was a warning not to go to the moon by an alien race. Prior to the voyage, a message was received demanding that the manned mission should not go ahead. When it was ignored, the craft was crippled in order to force it not to complete its mission.
• The moon is eactly the right size and exactly the right distance away from the Sun so that it can completely eclipse it. Again, the chances of these variables randomly coming together is "astronomical".

No-one really knows what's on the moon, but some evidence does exist to suggest that there's some odd things.  The US military constructed a satellite to map the moon; aside from showing us the craters and landing sites of the moon, there was an area that had been altered, and not very professionally.  Take a look at the pictures below.  The top one is how the region exists today; it is fairly easy to see a huge triangle that has been superimposed over this area.  The bottom picture was how it looked on release of these images in '94.  Although it does look tidier, it does show some tampering.

What could be hidden on the moon?  Well, from evidence and eye-witness accounts (yes, some astronauts have spoken up about the moon), it would seem that there is the remains of a civilisation (or at least a visitation).  There is a crystalline tower, a crystal castle, and a pyramid up there.  Although no direct picture of these artifacts exist (at least in the public domain), there are some pictures that point to the existence of these structures.

Neil Armstrong

I suppose the modern conspiracy theories start with the moon landing.  In an interview much later after 1969, Neil Armstrong said this during a NASA interview:

"Interviewer: What really happened out there with Apollo 11?
Armstrong: It was incredible; of course we had always known there was a possibility.  The fact is, we were warned off! There was never any question then of a space station or a moon city.
Interviewer: How do you mean "warned off"?
Armstrong: I can't go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology - Boy, were they big!  And menacing! No, there is no question of a space station.
Interviewer: But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11?
Armstrong: Naturally - NASA was committed at that time, and couldn't risk panic on Earth. But it really was a quick scoop and back again.

He later denied saying this.

During the actual moon landing in July '69, this transmission was made but never relayed through to the live coverage:

NASA: What's there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11...
Apollo11: These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous! OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out there. Lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They're on the Moon watching us!

Another extract from an unaired conversation just as the flight was leaving.  I'm a little dubious about the following as it seems out of character when compared against the transcripts of the moon landing:

Moon: Those are giant things. No, no, no - this is not an optical illusion. No one is going to believe this!
Houston: What ... what ... what?  What the hell is happening ? What's wrong with you ?
Moon: They're here under the surface.
Houston: What's there? Emission interrupted; interference control calling 'Apollo 11'
Moon: We saw some visitors. They were here for a while, observing the instruments.
Houston: Repeat your last information.
Moon: I say that there were other spaceships. They're lined up in the other side of the crater!
Houston: Repeat, repeat.
Moon: Let us sound this orbita ... in 625 to 5 ... Automatic relay connected ... My hands are shaking so badly I can't do anything. Film it ? God, if these damned cameras have picked up anything - what then?
Houston: Have you picked up anything ?
Moon: I didn't have any film at hand. Three shots of the saucers or whatever they were that were ruining the film...
Houston: Control, control here. Are you on your way?  What is the uproar with the UFOs over?
Moon: They've landed here. There they are and they're watching us.
Houston: The mirrors, the mirrors - have you set them up ?
Moon: Yes, they're in the right place. But whoever made those spaceships surely can come tomorrow and remove them. Over and out.

Since NASA's primary domain is space, they acccrue a whole host of evidence about UFOs and aliens. It's their unpleasant job to cover it away.

The Invisible Astronaut

This is a hard one to explain away. although many have tried. Take a look at the below photos. The third is a composite involving the first two. Notice that everything is present, except for a face. This must mean that most of NASA's pictures are artificially generated, which does beg the question why, and what are they hiding?

A few people say that the astronaut is turning away and therefore we can't see his face; you can see inside the cavity where the astronaut should be.  The biggest giveaway about NASA faking photos lies in the two red dots to the left of the astronaut.  In all three photos, these red dots exist and in the same relative place.  On the final photo, the red dots still exist but in front of the second astronaut.  Mad.

Below is a link with some of the better moon pictures featuring the aforementioned structures.  The one that I heard of first was the Shard; it's said to be suspended above the surface of the moon.  Hmm, no wonder we haven't been back to the moon since!

24th Aug '09

Just a quick one; below is a link to the british National Archives, who have recently released lots of info on UFO sightings reported to the RAF/military between '81 and '96. This is important for some as this time period covers the Rendlesham Forest incident, which has always been touted as "Britain's own Roswell". It's not that dramatic in detail, its just that it involved a few notable and trustworthy military personnel, so the incident itself holds more weight than most.

Anyway, download as much as you can; it'll probably disappear soon.

5th Sept '09

A small curious thing today; Google's event-specific doodle today features a UFO abducting a letter from their logo. Clicking on the logo performs a search for 'Unexplained phenomenon'. Ironically, they don't explain why!  Why have they featured this logo today? Why unexplained phenomenon? Is there something more to this - maybe Google are aware of a public disclosure coming up, or maybe even UFOs and the such feature quite highly on their searches.

15th Sept '09

Well well well - Google mystifies us once again. Similar to the story above, Google's doodle today shows a UFO making a crop circle. Once again, why?  Something is afoot; the whole UFO & aliens subject is a tricky one, and many famous people who stake their belief in aliens are usually laughed away.  I wonder why Google are constantly trying to keep UFOs high in the public spotlight, possibly to the risk of their credibility?

Personally though, crop circles are a load of rubbish. Even if crop circles are made by an extra-terrestrial species, I'm not going to get excited by some alien "tagging" a field in the country. I am skeptical about the whole crop circle thing; if an alien species is out there, a vegetation flattener is not going to be part of their arsenal on their flying saucer. Some crop circles are very pretty, but that's it.

I've always thought that the Cold War was a bit odd. It didn't make too much sense to simply "not talk" to different countries, either in friendly terms or in aggression. Plus, what was the outcome of the cold war? Why did it last for 50 years? It's said that a person can be stupid; people aren't. After the curtain came down, it turned out that the East feared the West as much as the West feared the East, and that kind of mass-message can only be circulated through something like the kind and loving news media.

It has been stated that the Cold War between America and Russia was an orchestrated state of affairs between these two superpowers. It was always assumed that it was to create a united front in both countries towards a common enemy and thus start stripping away liberties and rights in the name of state security (ironically, pretty much what Bush tried to do straight after 9/11).

Here's an alternative theory; looking at the timeline of important alien encounters, they all coincide inside the time period of the Cold War. In a period of silent non-combatant war, it does give each country an excuse to build up arms and technologies in the name of defense against a quantifiable and easily-believable foe. You can see where I'm going with this...

I would like to suggest that the Cold War was just a cover-up so that the two superpowers of the world could build up stockpiles of weapons in case the newly-discovered and potentially-conquering aliens wanted to invade. If there was no war or global tension, there wouldn't be any reason to fund such a military endeavour without coming clean about the whole thing. Generating an actual conflict could backfire and result in an actual nuclear war, so the Cold War was the perfect conflict to be in.

There was at least 2 instances where nuclear war should have kicked off between East and West, but on each occasion, nothing happened. One was the Cuban Missile Crisis, the second a false report of hundreds of nuclear missiles in flight towards Russia (it turned out to be a very believable but erroneous radar reading). Both times, no-one launched despite having a policy of launching in nuclear retaliation AS DEFAULT. I'd like to believe that we have NEVER been that close to nuclear war because we have never really been looking to fight with humans globally after WW2. We have been secretly preparing to fight a foe that we know little about, and is superior to us in technological terms.

Taking this one step further, maybe the Cold War finished because the threat from a global invasion faded - however, America was left with its Grey problem so is forced to keep a War Against (insert random earth foe here) in order to continually develop offensive technologies and find a way of finally rooting out its unwanted visitors.

Maybe, as well as having an alleged link into funding black projects through shipping drugs, George Bush's questionable acts during his term in office was in the name of America's defence against an alien menace.  Wow - wait until Robot Chicken gets hold of THAT idea!

 16th October '09

I actually saw a UFO today!  I was driving through the city centre, looked up and in the clear blue sky, saw a star-like object that faded to a metallic-grey, then back to a star-like white and so on for about 4 minutes.  The predictable illuminosity means either it was spinning and catching the light, or that it was alight.  Either way, not a plane and not a balloon.  I moved along in traffic for a bit, trying to keep the car going AND my eye on this object.  Eventually, it just faded away to nothing.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera to hand.  I am trying to find out if anyone else saw this object too, but it doesn't look like it.

Cool!  Never thought I'd see something so blatant in broad daylight, but there you have it.
