THEORY OF EVOLUTION MINDSHIFT

The foundation for all scientific knowledge concerning life on Earth is the
belief in the Theory of Evolution. I found I could easily convince most
people, that we were being visited by alien life forms if they question that
theory. Those hardest to convince are scientists and engineers whose bedrock
belief system accepts without question the Theory of Evolution. They refused
even to read these files. If we assume for the sake of argument, that this
theory is wrong, our scientific knowledge suddenly embraces the concept that
intelligent life spread from space to Earth. For too long the Theory of
Evolution has been taught as fact and as an undeniable truth. Scientists and
educators have taught with fervor and passion that all life originated on
Earth. Obviously there is some evidence that species change to adapt to the
situation around them. But it is a giant leap of faith to assume we all came
from some primeval ooze and gradually developed into complex life forms. I
have had the luxury of seeing the complexity of just one cell. It is
doubtful that life happened by chance. The logical conclusion is that there
was a Creator. I receive many letters from scientists who claim to be
experts in the field of genetics, who admit they are afraid to speak up.
They are frankly afraid of losing their jobs, if they verbalize their own
findings that the Theory of Evolution is in error.

Recently Oklahoma ordered publishers to include a disclaimer about the theory
in their biology books. The disclaimer about evolution is that it is
"unproven belief that random undirected forces produced a world of living
things." The statement continues by saying, "No one was present when life
first appeared on Earth. Therefore any statement about life's origins should
be considered theory, not fact." Governor Frank Keating as taken a lot of
heat for appointing a Textbook Committee that feels that the theory is
questionable, but 700 teachers have backed him.

Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell in his book, "The Way of the Explorer, discusses
what he calls the Dyadic Model, a way to deal with knowledge, existence, and
our knowledge of our existence. "The previous notion in science was that the
Universe was a giant accident and that it would be too much of an accident
for life to have formed and become intelligent life, in more than one place
at a time. To science, that would be too much of an accident. " It view is
clearly wrong and science has to revise its notion and accept the fact that
whatever process has brought us into being has brought life into being
throughout the Universe. Now that we look back on it, it sounds silly that
throughout our history, until the last two or three decades, we really
believed we were alone in the Universe. Now that we see beyond that, we see
how archaic these types of ideas are."

My point is that once main stream science understands there are serious
problems with the Theory of Evolution they will be able to see the UFOs in
our skies. The mindshift, the awakening is coming soon!

SHUTTLE VIDEOTAPES UFO's

I have been reviewing the videotape of several shuttle missions such as the
Discovery flight of last June. The tape shows a series of Unidentified
Flying Objects moving at tremendous speeds at an estimated ten miles above
the Earth's surface. They apparently fly just above large thunderstorms and
far below the shuttle that is orbiting at 230 miles above the Earth. My
calculations indicate the speed of the faster UFOs are a startling 100,000
miles per hour. One UFO flies from Tallahassee to Pensacola, Florida a
distance of 195 miles in seven seconds. The Discovery Shuttle this summer
was orbiting Earth and heavy storm was over the Atlantic Ocean off the US
East Coast. The thunderstorms seem almost to explode with bursts of heavy
lightning in the night sky far below. I counted four lighted and sometime
blinking objects moving across the screen. The lighted objects move east to
west and north to south fairly quickly until they reach the thunderstorms
where they seem to stop and hover. Its possible these objects are a natural
phenomenon generated by the thunderstorms themselves. However, they appear
to come from north and east of the thunderstorms and move to them where they
seem to take on electrical energy. NASA spokesman often claim these are
simply ice crystals.

Astronaut Joseph P. Allen with Ph.D. from Yale in physics wrote the book,
Entering Space an Astronaut's Odyssey explains the shuttle orbits the Earth
at a speed of 17,500 mph. The orbiting shuttle is maneuvered in space by a
total of forty-four thrusters, or minirockets, located in the orbiter's nose
and tail of the reaction-control system. Six of the thrusters are vernier
jets small thrusters that slowly and quietly move the hundred-ton machine to
new attitudes. The remaining thirty eight thrusters are primary jets, which
are not silent. These are used for more rapid rotations and for translation
maneuvers - - straight-line movements of the orbiter, forward or back, left,
or right, up or down. The orbiter reacts to the primaries' shove by shaking
slightly and by moving very noticeably.

During the videos there is no indication these minirockets are firing.
Further most of the UFOs do not seem to be blown away from the shuttle, but
come into the picture from opposite direction. I spent hours analyzing the
photos and I do not feel the bulk of the unidentified objects can be
explained by the simple explanation that they are floating ice crystals or
parts of shuttle being blown across the screen in various directions. Close
examination of the video indicates the UFOs are entering the video hundreds
of miles away form the shuttle, obviously much too far away to be effected by
the orbiter's rockets. Thanks to Tom Sheets and ISUR for providing the
videos. Editor's note: The UFOs are moving along the 30th degree parallel at
high speed towards Shanghai, China and Cairo, Egypt that also report recent
UFO sightings. At this time my web site does not have the resources to show
these videos to the reader.

MASSACHUSETTS WOMAN SEES A UFO

NEW BEDFORD -- On Thursday, February 3, 2000, at 10:15 p.m., eyewitness
Michele N. glanced through a window of her home in New Bedford, Massachusetts
(population 100,000) and spotted a UFO passing slowly over the neighborhood.
"It was a circular object with a red flashing light," she reported, "I had it
in sight for several minutes." According to the witness, the large
disc-shaped UFO came from the south over Mount Hope Bay. Crossing the
shoreline, it flew northward over Brockton Park and Tramline Hill, moving
roughly parallel to Ashley Boulevard, before it went out of sight. New
Bedford, a prominent whaling port in the early Nineteenth Century, is located
58 miles south of Boston. Thanks to UFO Roundup Vol. 5 #6 2/10/00 Editor:

FLORIDA

WINTER HAVEN -- On February 7, 2000, ISUR received reports from two different
witnesses of an orange circular light stationary in the eastern sky. JB
reports that between 8 and 8:45 PM, two and then three lights would also
appear. These looked similar to rockets being fired from Cape Canaveral at
night, but the location was to the south and inland of the Cape. The witness
contacted NASA, who reported no launches during that time period. The
witness reportedly videotaped the event. Another witness in Jupiter, Florida
and observed a black disc in the sky to the NNE. It appeared to be traveling
at about 200 mph, about 1 or 2 miles away, He estimated the disc to be 50 to
100 feet in diameter and very thin. It traveled 'on edge,' resembling a
dinner plate. It also appeared to be wobbling, and the witness thought it
might have been out of control. The witness reported this event to ISUR
within 3 hours of the sighting. Both cases were referred to Bland Pugh, the
Florida MUFON State Director.

GEORGIA DID YOU HEAR THE BOOM?

COLUMBUS -- Neither City authorities nor Ft. Benning officials could explain
the loud 'boom' that shook the area about 5:20 p.m. February 5, 2000. Many
concerned callers directed their inquiries to Ft. Benning officials and
Columbus 911 searching for answers.
"We don't believe it was anything on Fort Benning," said Captain John
Hollar. "What a lot of people outside are saying is that it was a sonic
boom. But we had no planes in the area." A 911 dispatcher said she had four
calls since arriving to work two hours after the incident." But they got a
lot more earlier." There have been no reports of injuries or explanations of
what may have caused the boom. The boom was also felt and heard in Alabama
and is similar to one heard on August 2, 1999, that included UFO sightings.
The usual suspect, the military have denied it was their aircraft. Seismic
earthquake activity was not detected, so a sonic boom is most likely
responsible. A full investigation was made of the 8/2/99 blast and was
submitted to GEMA Thanks to John Thompson. Editor's Note: I'm beginning to
think these booms may be tied to UFOs under certain circumstances. Those
UFOs passing over at 100,000 mph would not be seen, but they might be heard
as booms.

MINNESOTA MULTICOLORED UFO SEEN

ELK RIVER -- On January 28, at 9:00 PM and again on January 29, 2000, at 5:30
AM, residents spied an unusual object with bright multicolored lights
hovering near their homes. "We first noticed a bright red light in the sky,"
Denise M. reported. "At first I thought it was a jet since we have jets that
pass over making their descent into Minneapolis-St. Paul International
Airport. The UFO approached from the east and hovered. The longer I
watched, I realized it was not moving. I got my binoculars and I could see
it had white lights that ran around the bottom of the object, and blue, green
and red lights were flashing from the top." I watched for 45 minutes before
it moved to the south, then hovered in that position." I called a neighbor
to verify what I was seeing. He looked through the binoculars and agreed he
had never seen anything like it. A few minutes later it disappeared to the
southeast quite slowly." Thanks to UFO Roundup Vol. 5 #5 2/3,/00

COLORADO

ARLINGTON -- Dannyk1 writes in the autumn of 1991, I was driving east on
Highway 36 when I spotted two lights in the sky to my left. I first thought
they were wing lights on a low-flying B-52, but I realized the lights were
hovering on either end of an immense object. I then noticed a bright halogen
light following me down the highway. I decided not to turn toward the large
mystery object because my daughter was sleeping in the back seat and I did
not want to endanger her. I have to admit I was getting a bit panicky. This
continued for several more minutes until the headlights of an oncoming car
suddenly appeared ahead of me at Haswell, some 15 or so miles distant and the
highest point in the county, so high you can glimpse the distant Rocky
Mountains. When the other car suddenly appeared the white light behind
suddenly stopped and seemed to recede in the distance as I continued to speed
eastward. I mentioned my sighting to the county sheriff, who had spent many
nights a decade earlier chasing cattle mutilations. He accepted my comments
at face value, but revealed he was glad I had not turned off toward the
mystery object. He said it might have been associated with a drug drop and
that I likely would have been shot at with sophisticated laser weapons had I
ventured toward it.

CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT?

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE -- Billy Dee's contact reports on February 8, 2000,
that the last three nights have been active with flights of fighters,
helicopters, and transports doing night drops. In addition I was watching a
strange object going in one direction and abruptly reverse course. It's
lighting was randomly changing from flashing to non-flashing red and green
lights, bright white light, and sometimes no lights at all. The object flew
almost directly over the house. Imagine my surprise to hear a small engine!
My wife and I watched as it flew over, still randomly changing it's lighting
pattern. Last night, just after sundown, I saw this same plane take off from
Edwards again and head directly towards me with extremely bright white light,
and two red lights. I called out two family members and we all watched as it
flew overhead. Because it wasn't quite dark yet, I was able to see through
binoculars that it was a small ultralight with an open cockpit, fixed wings,
and the engine behind the cockpit. It had a pole projecting forward with
different colored lights attached. There were also lights on the end of both
wings and the rear. All of these light s could randomly change color, from
red, to green, to bright white, or none at all. We watched for twenty
minutes as constantly changed the configuration of its lighting. It appears
designed to confuse. Thanks to [email protected]. Editors Note: It does
appear they are testing various light configurations possibly in an attempt
to fool enemy antiaircraft gunners. With the advent of stealth aircraft that
are almost invisible to radar, enemy gunners often must rely on visual
recognition of a target. Various lighting patterns can confuse attempts to
down our aircraft.

SAN FRANCISCO -- On the evening of Super Bowl Sunday, January 30, 2000, I was
hauling up a line of crab traps off Farlon Island aboard our 25' boat. My
dog started to bark furiously. I looked up and saw a huge triangular object
hovering above with NO sound. I was hit by a beam of white light and fell
backward. I grabbed my Ruger 10-22 rifle loaded with a 100 round banana
magazine and stared firing as fast as I could until the clip was empty. I
was able to shoot out the light. While grabbing for a second clip, I saw a
hatch open up on the bottom side of the object and two people leaned down to
yell, "STOP SHOOTING AT US YOU IDIOT." The only other noise I heard was a
hissing sound like air escaping from a flat tire. As the object moved off to
the south, I saw a helicopter come out off the top and move in next to my
boat about 20 feet off the water and only feet away. Someone in the side
door held up a camera and the flash shot off a picture of me in the boat
holding the rifle. The helicopter made no noise and had no markings on it.
It was solid flat black as was the huge Triangle. The chopper then took off
toward the Golden Gate Bridge climbing up. The Triangle slowing gained
altitude and was last seen heading south. At first I thought it was an alien
UFO and was genuinely startled by it. However, I now believe it was an
experimental military platform for transporting a small fleet of black
helicopters that leave and enter out of the top of a huge silent floating
triangle the size of a football field. A rigid airship if you will. (NUFORC
noted: This may be the first report we have received that has the occupants
of such a craft using a camera with a flash attachment.) Thanks to Peter
Davenport at www.ufocenter.com.

PETALUMA -- On January 24, 2000, a disk shaped object was first spotted by
two retired merchants and a writer. The three witnesses stopped their car
and watched for two to three minutes from outside their car until 6:11 PM.
The UFO was observed moving from south to north at moderate speed until
it was obscured by buildings near the horizon.
The object was a dull silver metallic color and saucer shaped
about as tall as wide. It was about the size of a pea at arm's length. Its
shape was like two cones, joined at the rims, but with the tips truncated, so
that it appeared somewhat saucer-shaped, but about as tall as it was wide.
Several short, dark rods were seen near the bottom, arranged radially, with
respect to the center of the object. The weather was overcast, the light
level rather low.

NOVA SCOTIA TRIANGLE

GLACE BAY -- Eugene H. Frison Nova Scotia MUFON Provincial Director writes
that Jeff, a 17 year old paperboy began his route at 6:15 AM on January 24,
2000. He cut through a graveyard to save time and realized something wasn't
right as there was a high-pitched whining sound riding the wind. Upon
reaching the center of the graveyard, he became aware of a tall, dark object
coming up behind him and, at first, assumed it was a person walking fast.
However, as it passed him at his side (within about three feet) he realized
that it was much taller than any person. It was instead a black triangular
shaped object with no apparent features. He says it was definitely solid and
as it passed him his scalp became very hot. Once it had moved out in front of
him, it then increased its speed and veered off on an angle, crossing the
entire graveyard in about ten seconds. He says he was surprised at how fast
it could move. Jeff relates he watched the object skim over a tombstone and
realized at that point it was gliding just above the ground, not moving along
it. The object was very tall but not very wide -- just a bit wider than a
large adult across the shoulders at its widest point. It was a definite
triangular shape with rounded edges. At that hour of the morning, it was
still dark but there was enough light coming from a street light located in
the graveyard to be certain of what he had witnessed. Jeff is one month away
from his seventeenth birthday. The incident is still being investigated by
myself at the present time! Thanks to Eugene H. Frison Nova Scotia MUFON

CANADA AND ALASKA GIANT UFO

The MUFON Journal February 2000 carried an article concerning a huge UFO
hovering over Fox Lake in the Yukon Territory, Canada on December 11, 1996.
The circular craft appears something like a walnut in the photos drawn by 22
witnesses. The giant craft was believed to be to be from a half mile to over
a mile in diameter based on triangulation calculations and the testimony of
the witnesses. There are no known flying objects this large on Earth. One
of the sightings that most influenced my own interest in UFOs was that of
Captain Kanji Teach and Japanese airline Flight 1628. The crew spotted a
giant similar shaped UFO on November 17, 1986. The Japanese pilots noticed
some unusual lights accompanying their 747 aircraft that approached very
close. They caught a brief glimpse of the main object's walnut-shaped
silhouette and judged it to be "two times bigger than an aircraft carrier or
2,000 feet long." The pilot was instructed by air traffic control to descend
to 4,000 feet and make turns, but the object continued to follow the plane
for 32 minutes before vanishing.

The FAA admitted the objects were tracked on radar, but had not registered on
the radar tapes. The FAA investigated and found the crews to be normal and
rational. I have flown this Pacific Ocean route on many occasions and you
can often see other flights ahead and behind you. I did some checking and
TWA pilots were flying further south along the Alaskan Coast and also saw the
huge UFO. Whenever there is a verified airborne sighting it is prudent to
attempt to determine what other aircraft are likely to be in the area.
Airline pilots are generally told not to talk to the news media but they will
often reveal sightings to investigators. The FAA will seldom if ever admit
they have a UFO on radar. Even when an aircrew has one in sight, they will
not admit it is on the radar but they will divert you from a midair
collision. It appears the huge walnut UFO apparently has made its appearance
once again. We have aircrews and 22 ground witnesses who seem to be
describing a craft so large that it is unlikely to be from Earth. I
encourage you to get the MUFON Journal and read this entire story by Martin
Jasek a civil engineer and MUFON investigator.

UNITED KINGDOM

EAST KILBRIDE - Three members of the East Kilbride UFO group claim they had a
sighting January 29, 2000, of a bright light which landed. Around this light
15 to 20 figures emerged. They have all this on videotape, one exceptionally
good shot shows part of a 'creature' caught in a car headlight. His members
claim they have forwarded the footage onto UFO Magazine for examination.

WORCHESTER -- "A woman struggling to sleep saw a UFO land 30 miles south west
of Birmingham. Georgina Wells said she saw a glowing object which hovered in
the sky for more than an hour at 2:00 AM Thursday [Feb. 3]. The 20-year-old
said she saw the "extremely bright" egg shape from her third floor bedroom
window at the back of her Bransford Road home. But she said she was amazed
to see the glowing yellow object, which she claims had a helicopter next to
it the whole time, begin to descend. "It got lower and lower then it stopped
glowing," she said. "I'm convinced it landed but I don't know where. But
minutes later it came back into view and was really bright again and shot off
into the sky and vanished. I have never seen anything go that fast before."
Miss Wells, who was awake because of a cold, added she had not taken any
medicine, which could cause her to hallucinate, nor was it a dream. "I was
awake because I could not stop coughing," she said. "I stood up and watched
it. It was not a police helicopter with its spotlight as there was no
light-beam. Worchester Journal of February 7, 2000.

POSSIBLE LINK TO ALIEN PANELS AND ROSWELL

NIEL MORRIS from University of Manchester in England has been studying the
Roswell debris photographs taken by J. Bond Johnson in July of 1947 in
General Ramey's office. This is the only known physical evidence of what
crashed near Roswell. Niel also examined the Alien Autopsy film that
allegedly shows the imprints of a six fingered alien control panel and alien
writing. Many researchers feel this film is a fraud or counterintelligence
scheme.

Niel Morris writes, "During the early stages of the reexamination of the Fort
Worth photographs it became increasingly apparent that the debris contained
markings laid out in a regular fashion. This can be seen even on very
damaged beams, that the "symbols" maintain a regular layout." I tried to
match them with known characters used in both ancient and modern written
languages. Some of the symbols appeared much like those used by the early
Egyptians but many others did not seem to match anything that could be found
on Earth. I also attempted to match these symbols with those witnesses who
had encounters with UFOs, but again no matches were found.

I was well aware of the Alien Autopsy film and symbols seen on beams
displayed in the film that appeared in the UK early in 1995. I examined some
good quality prints of the beams from the Alien Autopsy debris footage.
While I examined one of these images at high magnification, off to one side
of the image, away from the main debris on show in the frame, my eye was
attracted to a regular pattern in the dark background of the photograph. The
regular pattern of an Alien Autopsy "symbol" had seen just a few minutes
earlier was matched the symbols in the Fort Worth debris!
These findings will no doubt prove to be highly contentious but it does not
change the content of the images and their similarity of form and style.
Before being dismissed these points have to be credibly answered. If that
cannot be done then we have to contend with the distinct possibility that (a)
at least a portion of the AA Film, The Debris Footage, could very well be a
historical record of events. (b) The debris seen in the Fort Worth
photographs and that seen in the Alien Autopsy debris footage once shared a
common source.

The linkage hinges on the fact that unknown and only recently discovered
features in BOTH sets of images match, and that as one of these sets of
images (the Fort Worth Photographs) has a proven history dating back to the
day the photographs were taken and developed on the 8th July 1947. They are
a factual historical document. The logic then is that "undiscovered"
features within these images could not be known to post 1947 "hoaxers" for
inclusion in a later "fake." Hence IF matching features, both "undiscovered"
until now, were found in the "test" document there is a very high probability
they too originated from a contemporary 1947 source. Bearing in mind we are
speaking of "unique" symbol features so far untraced elsewhere. To my
knowledge the features I discovered twelve months ago in both sets of images
had never been noted or reported. I assume this is because no one has ever
seen them before. I leave the final judgment to you, I myself find the
evidence compelling. Thanks to Neil Morris. Please visit his website for
