Alleged Vatican Official Says Extraterrestrials Are Real

"Vatican Officials" say a lot of things. This man who is said to be an expert in demonology also claims to be an expert on the phenomenon of intelligent extraterrestrial life. We say they are supernatural in origin and the appearance of strange and foreboding lights in the sky are unfavorable signs.

Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a theologian member of the Vatican Curia (governing body), and an insider close to the Pope, has gone on Italiannational television five times, including recent months, to proclaim that extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomenon. Balducci provided an analysis of extraterrestrials that he feels is consistent with the Catholic Church's understanding of theology. Monsignor Balducci emphasizes that extraterrestrial encounters "are NOT demonic, they are NOT due topsychological impairment, they are NOT a case of entity attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied carefully." Since Monsignor Balducci is a demonology expert and consultant to the Vatican , and since the Catholic Church has historically demonized many new phenomena that were poorly understood, [Like the historical propensity for the press to be leftist deceivers who herald new phenomena like Communism as saviours of mankind.] his stating that the Church does not censure these encounters is all the more remarkable.

Balducci revealed to a visiting American professional that the Vatican is closely following this phenomenon quietly. My informant originally surmised that the Vatican is receiving much information about extraterrestrials and their contacts with humans from its Nunciatures (embassies) in various countries.

What's also ironic is that you somehow managed to mention someone named Phil Collins on a thread like this.

Do you think Obama is a grey, and that's why they won't show his long form birth certificate? (One 'black' parent + one 'white' = 1 'grey' offspring, eh?)

Any FReepers up for a photoshop / cartoon saying "Obama is a grey" ?

Cheers!

What is Science?

Put most simply, science is a way of dealing with the world around us. It is a way of baffling the uninitiated with incomprehensible jargon. It is a way of obtaining fat government grants. It is a way of achieving mastery over the physical world by threatening it with destruction.
Science represents mankind's deepest aspirations - aspirations to power, to wealth, to the satisfaction of sheer animal lusts.
The cornerstone of modern science is the scientific method. Scientists first formulate hypotheses, or predictions, about nature. Then they perform experiments to test their hypotheses.
There are two forms of scientific method, the inductive and the deductive.


Science for Everyone

Sound simple? It is.
Once, when the secrets of science were the jealously guarded property of a small priesthood, the common man had no hope of mastering their arcane complexities. Years of study in musty classrooms were prerequisite to obtaining even a dim, incoherent knowledge of science.
Today, all that has changed: a dim, incoherent knowledge of science is available to anyone. Popular science books, magazines and computer programs - with their simple, fatuous and misleading prose, their garish illustrations, their flimsy modern production values - have brought science within the reach of anyone who can afford their inflated prices or who can mooch off someone else.
Indeed, today a myriad of sources are available to explain science facts that science itself has never dreamed of.
This web site is one of them.

from Tom Weller's Science Made Stupid, 1986 Hugo Award Winner.

Cheers!

some more . . .

FROM:

http://aboutfacts.net/AirSpaceCraft28.htm

. . .

Lets get to the X22A. Supposedly the plane or disc or saucer, whatever you want to call it, can shield itself from detection. It is supposed to be the stealthiest of crafts. It is said to be attached to a new military division known as the US Space Warfare Headquarters. A fleet of these crafts is supposed to be housed in Utah. Some even go so far as to state that they are beneath King's Peak of the Wasatch Mountains. This is important because saucers are always being sighted in this area and this could be the reason why. While this would be a disappointment to the ufo folks, it would be an incredible addition to the defensive forces of our country. It is possible that if these discs exist than the pilots may be able to avoid the normal G forces of acceleration due to the nature of antigravity but this is not known. Being able to leave the Earth's atmosphere makes them impervious to missile attacks while out there. It is also said that they are capable of here to fore unknown speeds for Earth based craft.

. . .

There are reports that we actually used these craft in the Operation Desert Storm. It is claimed that some soldiers saw disks swoop down and destroy Iraqi defensive positions with a beam that left nothing in its wake. The story goes on to say that all cameras were confiscated and that the particle beam that was fired broke down objects at the molecular level. That is a scary thought. A secret source stated that these craft were only one type that the astronauts from the US Space Warfare division used. This leads me think again that the Aurora is in use. There is a X-22 which is a unmanned drone but those that brought this story to light claim that it is a cover for the X-22A. The X-22 is code named Dark Star the same as the X-22A. There is a story that a man penetrated Area 51's no trespass zone and observed a test flight of the X-22A in 1992 but this I find hard to believe knowing the amount of surveillance and sensors in that area, but it might be true. . . .

Rendelsham Forest incident

Probably one of the top 5 recent cases that the debunkers and naysayers run for the "Tall Grass" on ;^)
Hadn't heard until now that an airman had been taken aboard. Probably the only part of the incident that I may have doubts about.

First I’d heard of it, too.

However, I don’t really doubt it. That sort of thing was usually managed very easily by the critters etc.

Throw in their time distortion effects . . . who knows.

Here's another sobering prophecy . . . another evidently about the New Madrid fault system expanding into a new arm of the Gulf Of Mexico with the Great Lake Michigan emptying out down the new Valley into that new arm of the Gulf of Mexico.

Topic: America - Continental Divide - Continental Decision 10-10-10

There are some substantial changes coming to America, an explosion of land causing great division such as the Cumberland Gap so that no man may easily pass and the construction of bridges in this area will be futile!

This is not to cause division but to bring unity and awareness that I mean business with America to repent and follow me wholeheartedly - a new "Continental Divide" - for not even a river will make this passable and no bridge span its width or girth.

Now in this shaking miracles shall occur bringing my chosen ones together as one for I shall not despise the day of small beginnings for miracles shall increase and now literally my children "shall speak to a mountain and it shall move" so to the obedient the supernatural shall become as common as the day for I shall not turn My back on them "No" on the contrary they shall be sought after for their words of knowledge wrapped in my wisdom and understanding yet they shall only speak My words and even in this still many shall fall away and doubt for I am an all consuming fire, therefore strange fire shall have no part of Me.

Now again in all this shaking America shall discover not only their true friends but also those that would plot their demise for in your weakness I shall reveal many things and your true colors shall also be revealed.

So choose life My children for I am your Savior Anointed for your salvation and now My children shall do My Will as never before.

Selah

This word is sealed

8-11-10; 4:44 am

Isaiah 49:11

I will turn all my mountains into roads,
and my highways will be raised up.

LOL.

The Hopi’s have had a lot of prophetic things to say the last 100+ years. A number of them have come true, interestingly. I think Frank Waters book decades ago outlined some of them.

And yet you have reservations about people asking deceased saints to pray for them? How then do you justify placing reliance (="trust") in the spiritual writings of pagan animists?

Measured and respectful answers only, please.

I have collected a vast array of puzzle pieces from all over and most types of sources.

I look for commonalities . . .

Some things I watch to see what the enemy is saying.

Some things I watch to see what God is saying.

Some things I watch to see what Christians assert/think God is saying.

Sometimes it seems like God Himself may be allowing/using every available channel to warn folks of very serious stuff.

Have you ever read

ETERNITY IN THEIR HEARTS?

Excellent documentation of God’s Gospel injected into tribal peoples—in many cases before there was a written language . . .

In one case, the Shammen asserted for 100’s of years that one day a white man would come riding on a donkey bearing the WORD OF GOD in their language. This was many centuries before they ever even imagined having a written language. It was a most curious prophecy.

Eventually in our era, it happend precisely as the Shammen had predicted. I think the whole tribe was won to Jesus and His Salvation.

Here's an interesting case in FR's backyard . . .

http://www.theufochronicles.com/2010/08/reported-tr-3b-triangle-crash-sighting.html

By Anthony F. Sanchez
www.UFOHighway.com
8-23-10
     A Central Valley California Family driving home late Saturday Evening (August 21st, 2010) called the 24 hour hotline of Jeffrey Gonzalez (MUFON State Section Director) to report seeing a “Triangle Shaped Craft” make a hard landing onto the side of a nearby mountain just north of Fresno CA.

While talking to a male witness by phone, the investigator reported over hearing two female witnesses speak in the background describing the lights of the craft. He over heard them saying, “It’s trying to take off, it’s trying to lift!”

He also stated, “When I arrived to the area where the family was, I looked up on the mountain and there were three distinct glowing white lights coming from the area where the family reported seeing the craft; these could be seen on the side of the mountain. What puzzled me was that there are no homes or buildings on the side of that mountain. There is only a small shack used by military utility teams from the nearby base, which is visible during the day.”

The investigator also stated that upon his arrival he immediately began to videotape the event, at the time of this writing it is not known if still photos were taken.

He reported that 15-20 minutes after his arrival multiple unknown vehicles began to congregate on the mountain surrounding the crash site. And within minutes of their arrival he began to see through his camera viewfinder what was definitely a bright bluish-white light quite reminiscent of the output of an arc welder. His immediate thoughts were that the craft was being repaired to resume flight, or disassembled for removal from the area.

The UFO Investigator decided to stay the evening recording all the events. The next morning at 6:00 AM he could see two long scorch marks on the side of the mountain leading up to the shack. And in front of the small shack was a large craft reminiscent of a stingray.

He commented, “At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. But it’s exactly as how I describe it; it looked like a stingray shaped air craft .”

Jeffrey Gonzalez reported that the area on the Mountain is private and inaccessible to the public. He and a fellow UFO investigator made several attempts later that morning to get to the site but could not find an access point from any public areas. When they returned to the public vantage point to record the area once again, the craft was gone.

Currently Jeffrey Gonzalez says they are processing the video of the event to make it available for everyone to see at their website.

It should be noted that this event occurred in proximity near the "ANGB/Fresno “Deep Underground Military Base” located at the Fresno Yosemite International Airport, formerly Fresno Air Field. The facility is run by The 144th Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard Base (ANGB), of Fresno California. Interestingly, the 144th Fighter Wing is under the direct oversight of the North American Aerospace Defense Command “NORAD”, which itself is located 2,000 feet deep inside of Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.

This event comes as a complete surprise as it coincides with Mr. Gonzalez and me (Anthony Sanchez) jointly participating in an Investigative Report on Underground Bases in CA. We’ll be together on location within the week to perform additional research in to the crash and any relation to ANGB/Fresno “Deep Underground Military Base”.

. . . MORE TO FOLLOW.
