Me too.
Though I’m not a “wrestling” fan, I love Roddy Piper just because he’s such a trip.

If you haven’t seen it already, try to get hold of a copy of “Hell Comes To Frogtown”.

He’s hysterical in it.....:))

Skin too stiff?

Yeah, stiff skin is totally unheard of vis a vis mummies in the high Andes desert air. Totally unheard of. Probably

ONLY

precisely 100%

of such mummies have stiff skin.

I wonder if Cleopatra—the Queen of De Nile has been consulted?

Pentagon report investigated lasers that put voices in your head

Pentagon report investigated lasers that put voices in your head
by Lisa Zyga

A recently unclassified report from the Pentagon from 1998 has revealed an investigation into using laser beams for a few intriguing potential methods of non-lethal torture. Some of the applications the report investigated include putting voices in people’s heads, using lasers to trigger uncontrolled neuron firing, and slowly heating the human body to a point of feverish confusion - all from hundreds of meters away.

A US citizen requested access to the document, entitled “Bioeffects of Selected Non-Lethal Weapons,” under the Freedom of Information Act a little over a year ago. There is no evidence that any of the technologies mentioned in the 10-year-old report have been developed since the time it was written.

Free White Paper

Free Information Technology white papers, downloads and podcasts
The report explained several types of non-lethal laser applications, including microwave hearing, disrupted neural control, and microwave heating. For the first type, short pulses of RF energy (2450 MHz) can generate a pressure wave in solids and liquids. When exposed to pulsed RF energy, humans experience the immediate sensation of “microwave hearing” - sounds that may include buzzing, ticking, hissing, or knocking that originate within the head.

Studies with guinea pigs and cats suggest that the mechanism responsible for the phenomenon is thermoelastic expansion. Exposure to the RF pulses doesn´t cause any permanent effects, as all effects cease almost immediately after exposure ceases. As the report explains, tuning microwave hearing could enable communicating with individuals from a distance of up to several hundred meters.

“The phenomenon is tunable in that the characteristic sounds and intensities of those sounds depend on the characteristics of the RF energy as delivered,” the report explains. “Because the frequency of the sound heard is dependent on the pulse characteristics of the RF energy, it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except that it could only be heard within a person´s head. In one experiment, communication of the words from one to ten using ´speech modulated´ microwave energy was successfully demonstrated. Microphones next to the person experiencing the voice could not pick up these sounds. Additional development of this would open up a wide range of possibilities.”

The report predicts that communicating at longer distances would be possible with larger equipment, while shorter range signals could be generated with portable equipment. Putting voices in people´s heads could cause what the report calls “psychologically devastating” effects. The technology might even allow for communicating with an individual hostage surrounded by captors, although this would require “extreme directional specificity.”

With another weapon, electromagnetic pulses could be used to disrupt the brain´s functioning, although this technology was still in the theoretical stages at the time.

Under normal conditions, all brain structures function with specific rhythmic activity depending on incoming sensory information. Sometimes, the brain synchronizes neuronal activity in order to focus on a specific task, but the degree of neuronal synchronization is highly controlled. However, under certain conditions (such as physical stress or heat stroke), more areas of the brain can fire in a highly synchronized manner, and may begin firing uncontrollably.

The report describes a method for replicating this highly synchronized neuron firing across distances of several hundred meters. High-voltage (100 kV/m) electromagnetic pulses lasting for one nanosecond could trigger neurons to fire, disrupting the body´s controlled firing activity. Short-term effects may include loss of consciousness, muscle spasms, muscle weakness, and seizures lasting for a couple minutes. These high-voltage pulsed sources, which would require an estimated frequency of 15 Hz, exist today.

Another form of non-lethal torture described in the report is microwave heating. By raising the temperature of the body to 41°C (105.8°F), humans can experience sensations such as memory loss and disorientation, and exhibit reduced aggression. According to the report, humans can survive temperatures up to 42°C (107.6°F), at which time prolonged exposure can result in permanent brain damage or death.

The microwave heating technique was tested on a Rhesus monkey, where a 225 MHz beam caused an increase in the animal´s body temperature. Depending on the dosage level, the temperature increase occurred within a time of 15 to 30 minutes. After the beam was removed, the animal´s body temperature decreased back to normal. The report suggests the technique could be useful for controlling crowds or in negotiations.

While the investigations reveal intriguing techniques for non-lethal torture, the report does not mention plans for carrying out specific experiments or studies in the future.

Thanks for the link - mystery solved. I saw it last summer - trying to explain it - I said it was shaped like a blimp, huge, very quiet, slow moving and low to the ground. It was going in the direction of our local airport.

BRITISH PERSPECTIVE ON STEPHENVILLE ETC.

STEPHENVILLELIGHTS.COM has a facelift:

And an updated 22 Feb article by the original reporter at:

http://www.stephenvillelights.com/news.html

excerpted in small part below:

Erath County officer witnesses UFO
Filed 2-22-2008
By ANGELIA JOINER - Stephenville Lights ­ Reporter
ajoiner@stephenvillelights.com

Another law enforcement officer has come forward in the strange and mysterious UFO sightings in Erath County.

Sgt. Jim Clifton of the Erath County Sheriff’s Department was with Erath County Constable Lee Roy Gaitan in the early morning hours of Feb. 2 on U.S. Hwy. 377 when both saw something extraordinary in the black sky.

“It was a clear night, no clouds, no moon, and a dark night,” Clifton said. “I’ve never seen anything like that before in my career. I’ve never seen any aircraft like that. The lights did not appear to be military. I was very amazed at what we saw.”

Clifton said he received a call to check out an alarm at Woody’s restaurant and when he got to the eatery, Gaitan had heard the call also and was already there. The two took care of business and then Gaitan told Clifton there was something in the sky.

“He heard the alarm and got there before I did,” Clifton said. “I got in the car with him and observed this with him. It looked like it was over the Highland area to the west and it was a large object.”

Clifton said they observed the unidentified flying object through the “dash cam” in the car and could see it quite clearly with the zoom feature. He said the camera is in a permanent mount, which is stationary. So, in his eyes, the video is more than credible because shaking the camera could not be a concern.

“To your naked eye it looked like a bright light and I couldn’t really tell if it was moving, but I don’t think it was,” Clifton said. “What it looked like is difficult to describe because there is nothing to compare it to.”

Clifton said the object had a transparent or perhaps translucent appearance and it had “ a fog or vapor or cloud around it.”

Clifton said he saw colors of white, blue, and red.

“I wasn’t frightened - I was just trying to think of what it might be,” Clifton said. “I don’t have a clue. I wish I had an explanation but I can’t think of any explanation. The thing that impressed me was how big it was. It stuck in my mind.”

Clifton said he is looking at the sky more now to try and see it again. He said most people he knows are doing the same.

Clifton said he has seen a video from Canada in what he thinks was the year 2007 that is most similar to what he and Gaitan saw.

Both men said the sighting was reported to the Erath County Sheriff’s office at the time.

New facts unfold in Texas UFO sightings: Police videotape, foreign-owned Texas newspapers
Steve Hammons

Steve Hammons

February 13, 2008

Continuing developments in the Texas UFO sightings incidents are raising eyebrows.

Several of these new elements are of interest for people curious about UFOs as well as Americans and journalism professionals concerned about the integrity of the news media in the United States.

A case about an unusual and unconventional occurrence such as a cluster of UFO sightings is becoming intertwined with more conventional analysis of U.S. news media ownership and ethics.

Interestingly, the Stephenville case may shed more light on both of these areas.

In addition, other aspects of some surrounding circumstances include foreign ownership of American media outlets, financial interests and media influence, and how these affect media coverage of a wide range of news issues.

PEACE OFFICER’S VIDEOTAPE

First, updates in the actual UFO case are continuing.

According to published and radio reports, several local peace officers have not only observed unidentified and highly unusual objects in the sky, but one amazing and transforming object was caught on a police car’s video camera.

The videotape has been reviewed by Erath County Constable Lee Roy Gaitan, an elected law enforcement and public safety official, and he has described the details to Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe.

Howe reported this news on her Web site, Earthfiles.com, and on the well-known author Whitley Strieber’s “Dreamland” online radio show (UnknownCountry.com).

Officers have drawn sketches of what they saw and described behavior of the objects they observed. The officers are reported to be reluctant about speaking publicly due to the sensitive nature of their observations and are concerned about pressures and about losing their jobs.

Also, local residents are reportedly continuing to see very unusual objects in the sky, according to sources living in the region. Many citizens have purchased cameras in case an opportunity to take photos and video occurs.

A new Web site, StephenvilleLights.com, has been launched by local residents as a clearinghouse for new reports, background and other information related to past, recent and ongoing developments.

MEDIA COVERAGE AND OWNERSHIP

Meanwhile, reporting on elements of the sightings at one of the local newspapers, the Stephenville Empire-Tribune, has resulted in both praise and concern.

Initial reporting in the newspaper on the statements by local citizens, follow-up interviews with witnesses and local officials along with well-written news articles helped identify important and interesting aspects of the sightings.

When the national and international news media then continued responsible and fairly thorough research and reporting, Americans and people around the world were able to get a good picture of the situation in the Erath County sightings.

Then, when a reporter at the newspaper left employment there as the story was getting even more serious, with alleged threats of bodily harm or death against a local witness, ethics and professionalism at the newspaper became an area of concern.

Researchers and interested people noted that the parent company of the Empire-Tribune was listed on the newspaper’s Web site as “Erath Publishers, Inc., a Consolidated Southwest Media company which is owned by American Consolidated Media.”

It was also noted on the Web site that, “The Empire-Tribune is a member of the Associated Press, Texas Press Association, West Texas Press Association and the Inland Press Association.”

Now, it has been learned that American Consolidated Media is actually owned by a huge foreign conglomerate involved in banking, investments, toll-road construction and a wide range of other financial activities.

Australia-based Macquarie Media Group, the owner of the Empire-Tribune and other Texas community newspapers, is a component of the organization that includes Macquarie Bank and multiple other entities, including Macquarie Infrastructure Group which is planning a controversial and potentially very profitable toll-road construction project in Texas.

The controversy in Texas about various aspects of the toll road itself has also spread to Macquarie’s acquisition of local media outlets, such as the Stephenville Empire-Tribune and other Texas newspapers.

Some opponents of the Texas toll road project have even alleged that Macquarie is buying newspapers to manage media coverage and opposition to the road project.

Upon acquiring American Consolidated Media, the Macquarie organization simply stated that they considered the purchase a good investment, according to published reports.

Macquarie is known for hiring former politicians in Australia as highly-paid executives.

Macquarie also purchased the investment firm formerly owned by a recent candidate for the U.S. presidency.

According to Wikipedia.org, “An unusual feature of Macquarie Bank, as a financial institution, is the very strong political connections that it maintains through the appointment of former politicians and senior political staffers to senior and highly paid positions.”

Texans and others might wonder how foreign ownership of local, regional and national media outlets might affect news coverage of current events that range from UFO sightings to toll road projects.

With concerns by some people about plans for a “superhighway” running through the U.S., Mexico and Canada as part of a “North American Union” (a legal and economic union of the three nations), aspects of the role of media and foreign corporations and their relationships with regional and national officials reportedly is of interest to many Americans.

DISCLOSURE ON MANY FRONTS

The term “disclosure” in the UFO research field is often used to describe efforts by researchers and the public to learn more, and even to describe possible processes by officials to gradually and safely, and often indirectly, release more information about the situation.

In more conventional terms, such as behind-the-scenes activities involving politicians, government officials and financial interests, we rely on a vigorous, responsible and professional news media to inform us about irregularities and areas for concern.

When our news media comes under scrutiny itself, getting accurate information and comprehensive insight can be even more challenging.

Getting a complete picture seems to be an important factor in the Stephenville and Erath County UFO sightings.

And, some Texans might say the same about the controversial toll road project and the acquisition of regional news outlets.

Specifically regarding UFO sightings, in addition to the roles of citizens, local public safety officials and the media, we also must realize that our military and intelligence professionals are in the position in which they must consider how best to handle ongoing sensitive activities in ways that benefit our people and our nation.

These can be very complex matters which require a sense of many elements involved including “need to know” communication and legitimate security concerns, rights of Americans for reasonable understanding about various situations as well as liaison and rapport with responsible media professionals and organizations.

And our nation also benefits from a measure of open and accurate media coverage on a wide range of current events, from UFOs to foreign media ownership to toll roads and the North American Union superhighway.

Texans and Americans have faced many challenges in the past and are doing so now. The future will also present opportunities to learn more about unconventional developments, more down-to-Earth controversies ... and about ourselves.

“If each of these stars only had 1 planet orbiting them, there would be aprox. 40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets. If anyone thinks we are the only intelligent life out of all these planets, well let’s just say their egotistical rating is way off the scale or they have the IQ of an ameba.”

Well, if billions of years of evolution is required to produce intelligent life; and if evolution can stall, go sideways, or go backwards (or even be wiped out) in those billions of years; it might take 40 x 10 planets to finally end up with just one where life finally ended up as humans.
