'Aliens' Messed With US, Soviet Nukes - US Airmen
RIA Novosti ^ | May 1, 2013

Posted on 05/02/2013 6:04:40 AM PDT by Fennie

WASHINGTON - In the midst of the Cold War on several occasions, nuclear missiles at US Air Force bases were mysteriously shut down, according to US servicemen who said they witnessed the failure of the heavily guarded missile systems.

But they don't blame America's Cold War enemy, the Soviet Union; they say aliens from space did it.

"This was something Russia could have developed, but it turns out they didn't develop this and we don't have it either - to be able to shut down nuclear weapons with a beam of light," David Scott, a former sergeant in the US Air Force, told RIA Novosti at a conference in Washington on encounters with extraterrestrials.

If you really believe that a jet powered aircraft could go from 2000mph to zero in an instant,
***You have 1947 evidence of this capability? Most of the best sightings in 1947 have the devices going about 1500 MPH. But not from “zero in an instant”.

Why would 1500 MPH be considered extraterrestrial? NAZI rockets flew at 3500 MPH and landed in Britain.

In the 1890’s there were sightings of strange craft that were considered extraterrestrial because they were perceived to fly at the incredible rate of 200 MPH. Would that be considered extraterrestrial today? No.

Do you enjoy having someone attribute to you something which you did not say in the way they misrepresent it? This is standard for posters like kevmo.

Jeepers Kevmo, I didn't call MHGinTN a "psychotic." I don't understand how you drew that conclusion from what I wrote. Let me make this clear: MHGinTN is one of my oldest friends here, and I've been collaborating happily with him for years now. Especially I find his insights regarding time intriguing and valuable.

I am so sorry to see two friends "going at each other" in this way.

Apology gladly and gratefully accepted, dear brother Kevmo!

You correctly quoted me here:

But then such folks as propose such patent nonsense are the sort that will propose ANY theory, just as long as it obviates the need of a Creator God — in their own imagination. They would turn themselves into pretzels if their “theory” needed it. It’s just NUTZ, or — not to put too fine a point on it — psychotic.

The "patent nonsense" I had in mind was panspermia theory.

But somehow we got drawn into a side alley, were questions about the existence or non-existence of space aliens and/or UFOs are paramount. It seems MHGinTN has knowledge of a great deal of witness testimony regarding UFOs. I don't know whether he's personally seen one himself. (I know I haven't.)

And it seems you, dear Kevmo, reject witness testimony as unqualified evidence per se, to be disdained and disregarded. Also I gather you have not seen a space alien/UFO yourself.

Neither have I. But my husband has twice encountered UFOs, the first siting over Lake Cochituate in eastern Massachusetts, and the second off Sagamore Beach, Cape Cod. Both involved unidentifiable flying objects with strange and erratic physical behavior and lotsa lights.

The second siting is by far the more interesting to me; because there was a second observer beside my husband: his dog Bucky, an Alaskan Malamute. The following is from my husband's depiction of what happened that night.

When the object suddenly appeared, hovering about 20 feet above the waters of Cape Cod Bay, Bucky instantly went on alert, barking furiously. The object seemed to have "noticed" the man and dog on the sand flats, homed in, and trained a light beam on them. The next thing they knew, the object was "right there," hovering menacingly only yards away. B was at first paralyzed in astonishment. But Bucky went into full defense mode, getting himself in between the object and his master, still barking furiously, dashing back and forth, making feints at the object.

Then there was a pulse of blinding light. At that point B figured it was definitely time to "get out of town." So he called off Bucky, and the two of them beat a fast retreat, running away as fast as their feet could take them.

The first siting didn't "engage" the observers like the second one did. It was just a brightly-lighted unidentifiable flying object darting hither and yon over the lake, then suddenly shooting up into the heavens at blistering speed. Whereupon it disappeared.

I can't describe the objects my husband saw. He didn't tell me much about their physical descriptions. I note in passing that both sitings occurred in close proximity to military facilities: the first close by Natick Labs (then an Army research facility); the second, Otis Air Force Base. But I don't know whether this is germane or mere happenstance.

Anyhoot, more witness testimony. The presumption is that the objects were intelligently and purposefully designed, and that there may have been intelligent beings on board flying them.

But it's a stretch from there to panspermia theory, which asserts that intelligent beings — space aliens — are the source of Life on Earth; that aeons ago, they "seeded" the planet, and what Christians call the Creation subsequently burst forth. The theory holds the "origin" of Life on earth traces to visitors from remote parts of the galaxy, or even beyond — yet still from within the universe. This would make the universe a closed, self-generating system.

But is the universe really like that? Or is that just the way the metaphysical naturalist or atheist sees it?

For the question remains: What is the source of the space aliens? One assumes they did not come from nothing (nothing ever does): for they are intelligent; and if intelligent, alive like us. Life and intelligence are signs that they share a common source with us. And it seems to me the only possible common source is God — the Uncaused Cause — Who is the source and sustainer of the universe, Who gave it all its forms and its laws according to His Logos.

Finally, I do not have a clue what UFOs are. Besides what people claim them to be, they could be any number of other things. Hologrammatic projections; hallucinations, for instance.

On that observation, I note that the Russian novelist and professional guru, G. I. Gurdieff, a self-proclaimed "jokester," has Satan and his minions running all over the universe in space ships [see: Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson]....

I'm keeping an open mind. I don't have enough evidence to decide this question. But I'm always willing to listen to the evidence, even if it's witness testimony.

Thanks for the ping to your hubby's testimony. I too have seen a UFO ... one of the massive cigar shaped ones.

As to the occupants driving the things? Well, as our missing Quix friend would say, perhaps they are demonic beings. OR, perhaps they are created beings but lack soemthing that God gave to us which is of great interest to the 'visitors'. As to panspermia, well, I cannot accept it yet, but I do believe there is no way panspermia would explain God breathing the spirit into Adam and therefore passed to us eventually. In one of my novels, a character proclaims to his guest that 'Eden is not so removed as millions of years ago.'

Even if panspermia is a reality for the origin of nephesh on earth, that doesn't exclude the fact that nephesh is caused by God creating, nor evidence that neshama exists sans God creating it. If I ever get the chance, I would really like to ask the 'visitors' if they have a spirit.

And one last thing: there is a reason why I asked if the poster understood laminar flow or inertia and inertial mass as differentiated from gravitational mass. i suspect there is an abundance of all hat and no cattle at work. Time is interwoven in the conundrum of inertial mass dampening.

I siimultaneously entertain two alternative theories in my head about the nature of life in the universe. One, that it is ubiquitous, quite common. Or at least the raw physical materials for it are. The second is that it is uniquely only here, that the universe awaits us to spread life to it.

Maybe earth and earthly life is the petrie dish and the filter; those that pass successfully through the filter have the whole universe spread before them.

I haven’t seen enough evidence to settle the matter either way to my satisfaction, and I doubt I will settle it during my earthly existence.

I have to admit, it looks awfully cold and dead out there, lie an enormous debris field, but when you are looking across distances of that many millions of miles, really, what can you expect to see?

Either way, God as Creator is not in question. I suppose the question is if there is more going on than meets the eye, and I am fairly confident that there is. We may be a small phase shift away from a kaleidoscope world of whose existence we remain unaware right until the moment that it pops into focus.

***Not at all the case. Eyewitnesses are seeing something, but it is a secret weapon rather than extraterrestrial stuff.

I note in passing that both sitings occurred in close proximity to military facilities: the first close by Natick Labs (then an Army research facility); the second, Otis Air Force Base. But I don’t know whether this is germane or mere happenstance.
***It is germane, and it is also quite typical of UFO sightings. It adds weight to my hypothesis and reduces weight from the ET hypothesis.

For the question remains: What is the source of the space aliens?
***There are no aliens. It’s a buncha guys in supersecret craft doing their best to generate the impression they’re from somewhere else. When american pilots were testing the first generation of jet planes, sometimes they put on gorilla suits so that when people reported airplanes without propellers, they would be discredited. It’s standard operating procedure.

Finally, I do not have a clue what UFOs are.
***I do. I’ve been studying it for more than 35 years. It’s difficult to wade through all the piles & piles of baloney. So if you are curious and prefer to be efficient about it, read this one standout book that doesn’t constantly throw Ockham’s Razor under the bus:

‘Small phase shift away’ ... indeed, as illustrated inDaniel Chapter Five and the messenger at palace party central. Kaleidoscope world (an ‘other’ where/when) is only an arm’s length away.

I apologize for taking so long to reply. Every time I returned to the thread to gather up the recent insights it seems the direction of the discussion changed.

Worse, Freepers who I respect deeply and hold dear have been offended. This is not good and I didn't want to sow any discord.

These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: ... and he that soweth discord among brethren. - Proverbs 16:16 ... 19

But since my dearest sister in Christ has broached the subject so beautifully and things seem to have calmed, I will go ahead and offer my "two cents."

Panspermia is irrelevant to me - no matter whether it is Crick or Dawkins championing the speculation. It amounts to no more than avoiding the Name of God in academic discussions or worse, denying God the Creator altogether.

We mortals tend to be blinded by persistent sensory inputs to the point that we can easily believe that reality must be somehow limited by our ability to perceive it.

And Dawkins like so many other atheists and metaphysical naturalists is probably the most blind of all - or the most deluded. It is as if he cannot accept any reality in which he is not the captain of his own ship and the master of his own destiny.

As a scientist, he should know better.

For one thing, science cannot say that a field or dimension or type of dimension does not exist if it has no direct or indirect measurable affect.

Limited to his persistent sense of 4 dimensions (3 spatial, 1 temporal) and energy/momentum and blinded to only accept that which he can measure directly or indirectly, a man might believe that no thing could move through space/time faster than the speed of light. After all, such an impediment would severely limit the opportunity for contact over large expanses of space/time should such life actually exist.

But what if the distance between two points could be collapsed as if by folding space/time, i.e. making the two points adjacent? More to the point, 4D limitations would not apply to a 5 dimensional being.

If you were 5 dimensional, for instance, you could remove the contents of a box without opening it.

All of that may sound a bit like science fiction, but in quantum field theory, more specifically quantum entanglement which has been tested up to 10 kilometers, the speed limit of the universe (speed of light) has already been breached, where the quantum states of two or more objects have to be described with reference to one another regardless of the extent to which they may be spatially separated. e.g. one on earth the other on the moon, in another galaxy, etc.

So I am not troubled one way or the other, whether God has created other life forms elsewhere and whether they are 4D, 5D2T or whatever. Indeed, I've often wondered about the following passage, i.e. "kings and priests of what?"

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. - Rev 5:10

One thing I know for sure, no matter what I can imagine, whatever God has planned for us will be much better than that.

For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. - Isa 64:4

God's Name is I AM.

"I have to admit, it looks awfully cold and dead out there, lie an enormous debris field..."

The thought crosses my mind sometimes that maybe all that is out there is simply machinery necessary to keep everything running.Including,obviously,the Earth and everything on it.Maybe the physical running of a planet containing life is way more complicated than we yet realize.I read somewhere that even the fluttering of a butterfly's wings effects the farthest star.

Maybe it's all just cogs and sprockets.

The new creation should be a blast!

5D2T ...? I would write that as 3S2T, meaning three variable space and two variable time. In such a field the inside of a 3D1T box would be available without opening the box in 3D1T spacetime.

I still assert that EVERYTHING that exists IN the Universe of God's creating has some aspect of space and some aspect of time. We don't yet understand how many variable expressions of dimension space or dimension time exist in the Universe of God's creating.

To a photon emitted from Alpha Centauri, dimension space is one variable in size, and the photon crosses the universe of 3D1T always in the present temporal reality of when it was emitted, arriving at Earth carrying data/information of that star as it existed when the photon was emitted. [a 0S2T or 1S2T thing traversing a 3S1T or 3S2T or 3S3T field]

To my mind that means the photon is a little bit of space and a pinch of time, with energy in the package. The trick is to figure out how to express the spatial and temporal variables in a way that integrates with the spacetime the photon traversed and the spacetime of the receptor where the photon gets absorbed.

In the methodology of my where/when expressions, space has four expressions, point, line, plane, and volume, and the same for time: null, past, present, future. Essentially, the emission of a photon is akin to the moment of the creation of light for the unfolding Universe, when a phase shift allowed there to be light. All the variables of all the Dimensions may or may not have all begun at the big bang.

I tend to believe phase shifts occurred which brought more complexity into existence in the greater field which we would call 'the Universe of God's Creation.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

I used the 5D2T expression because that is how an actual theory by P.S. Wesson is expressed by him. An offshoot of his theory is that physical death may merely be a phase change:

We review the idea, due to Einstein, Eddington, Hoyle and Ballard, that time is a subjective label, whose primary purpose is to order events, perhaps in a higher-dimensional universe. In this approach, all moments in time exist simultaneously, but they are ordered to create the illusion of an unfolding experience by some physical mechanism. This, in the language of relativity, may be connected to a hypersurface in a world that extends beyond spacetime. Death in such a scenario may be merely a phase change.

Time as an Illusion

The photon, as you describe, travels a "null path" meaning that for the photon as observer no time elapses. It is indeed a perfect metaphor because God is timeless:

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. - I John 1:5

And it has even greater meaning when contemplating God's Shekinah glory which is represented by the metaphor of light:

Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; - Hebrews 1:3

Any hoot, the photon would be nS0T from its perspective as observer. And as you say nSnT from the perspective of a different observer, e.g. the light arriving today may be from a star which ceased to emit light millions of years ago, from our perspective in space/time.

This, by the way, is the big omission in most crevo debates about the age of the universe. People tend to not finish their sentences. For instance, the universe is approximately 15 billion years old from our space/time coordinates but only a week old from the inception space/time coordinates. (Schroeder et al)

I would also suggest that the 5 dimensional being could be 4S1T and still remove the contents of the box without opening it. To him, my body would appear as if an arm here, a leg there even though from my 4D (3S1T) perspective my own body is whole, i.e. not disconnected.

To sort this all out, lurkers might consider how a "flatlander" - a denizen of a 3D (2S1T) - existing in a plane or membrane - would consider us 4D creatures (3S1T). They would not be able to make sense of our interactions in their sheet-of-paper like worldview.

Likewise we would have difficulty understanding a >4D creature much less God.

Truly, man is not the measure of God.

mitch5501, I wanted to add a quick observation to your insight on the previous post. You said:

The thought crosses my mind sometimes that maybe all that is out there is simply machinery necessary to keep everything running.

That may very well be true. Indeed, from our perspective in space/time - due mostly to gravity - we cannot even sense how fast we are actually moving, i.e. more than 550,000 miles per hour:

A fly in your car is going 5 mph. That is his speed from his perspective as the observer. But your car in speeding down the road at 65 mph. So for the guy watching you from the roadside table, that fly is going 70 mph.

But the road you have taken is on the equator and the circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles and the earth rotates once every 24 hours. So that fly is now going 1,100 mph + 70 mph = 1,170 mph.

Moreover, the orbital length of earth traveling around the sun is 149,600,000 miles, traveled in 365.25 days. That is 67,000 miles per hour. So add that in, and the fly is going 68,170 mph. The sun orbits the Milky Way galaxy at a speed of 486,000 miles per hour. Add that in, and the fly is now going 554,170 miles per hour.

All of this and we haven’t gotten to the accelerating expansion of the universe, i.e. space/time itself.

A galaxy 1 million light years away would seem to be moving away from us at a rate of 60,000 miles per hour. For every 3.26 million light years further out that we look, the galaxies seem to be moving away from us at an additional 162,000 miles per hour In sum, the universe is currently at least 156 billion light years wide.

And that is from the fly’s perspective. If we go in the other direction as "observer" – the quantum – the cumulative velocities are even more mind-boggling.

We cannot physically sense this - or relativistic time or mass - or the proportion of cosmos to quantum. But all this magnitude (which may be utterly irrelevant from a different dimensional perspective) would be required for us to sense the world as we do.

So, yes, I agree that it is no accident.

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous - A. Einstein

To God be the glory, not man, never man.
