MEDIA YOU CAN LOVE: LESLIE KEAN AND JOHN PETERSEN

Leslie Kean is good. I’ve been an admirer of hers for a long time. She’s a first rate journalist.

She has a new book that’s getting attention: “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record.” In it, high level officials from government and the military tell about their UFO experiences.

This is a 6-minute MSNBC clip where Leslie was being grilled with the standard challenges that make light of the subject. Each time Dylan Ratigan raised a dubious eyebrow, I wondered what I might say, and I marveled at how well she did in responding.


John Petersen is another force for the good, via his Arlington Institute, which keeps tabs on future trends. He and I are very simpatico. This is from what he recently sent in his FUTUREdition e-newsletter:

The day the aliens unambiguously show them self to the world is the day everything changes. There are few wild cards events that I’ve thought about that would have the extraordinarily profound (and potentially positive) implications of such an event. Most people would have to rethink who thought they were.
The piece of his is called “UFOs,” and here’s more of it:

Every once in a while an author friend asks me to write a blurb for their upcoming book. That happened again recently. What was unusual about it was that my comments were picked up by the Los Angeles Times and included on their website.

If you visit the link, you’ll immediately see why my opinion got a little ink – the book is Leslie Kean’s, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record. John Podesta wrote the introduction to the book and if I hadn’t mentioned his name, I’m sure I wouldn’t have shown up. In any case, Leslie’s book is really a great piece of journalism around a subject that is seldom treated seriously. I think that’s a mistake.

I can’t remember when I haven’t been interested in the bigger questions about how reality works and why some things – like UFOs – which are commonly experienced and reported by millions of people all over the world are ignored by science and the mainstream press. Having spent a good bit of time seriously looking into the subject, I can tell you that anytime I hear anyone summarily discount the validity, let alone possibility, of the existence of these anomalous aerial phenomena, I know that they’re speaking from ignorance. They haven’t seriously looked into the subject. They are not seriously thinking…

Leslie’s book is timely for a number of reasons. One is that quite a few governments (not the U.S., though) have come clean about their long-time interest in the subject. The Mexican military has released quite impressive film footage of unknown craft tailing their air force aircraft. The Belgium government declassified many of their documents. There are quite a number more.

But, I was impressed when a few days ago the Brazilian Air Force reportedly decided to treat the issue with a great deal of transparency. The report came from A. J. Gevaerd, Editor of Brazilian UFO Magazine. Gevaerd – somewhat breathlessly – reports about this new development below. (In his defense, I suppose I’d be a little breathless if I had given my life to a subject like this and my government decided that they were finally going to spill their secrets.)

The point here is that we are clearly in a time of great change, and a significant element of the change is a growing awareness about who we as humans are in the larger spectrum of intelligent life.

Click through to the link above to read about what’s going on in Brazil. By the by, A.J.Gevaerd is an ally of mine, and the only foreign language my DVD has been translated to, thanks to A.J., is Portuguese, in an edition for Brazil.

UN ‘to appoint space ambassador to greet alien visitors’?

What’s going on? There’s been an escalation of media attention being paid to the fact that we may not be alone. Major news sources, like Reuters and the home page of Yahoo, that were subjects of previous posts, are talking UFOs and crop circles, and Google and Bing recently have used crop circle images as their pictures of the day.

The Reuters piece was about what’s going to happen at a press conference today, when testimony will be given about UFOs shutting down nuclear capacity at weapons sites. On Saturday, there was a story about this on the Front Page of AOL News: “Former Air Force Officers: UFOs Tampered With Nuclear Missiles” 

This story, from the Telegraph, an English paper, is a new startler:

A space ambassador could be appointed by the United Nations to act as the first point of contact for aliens trying to communicate with Earth.

Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, is set to be tasked with co-ordinating humanity’s response if and when extraterrestrials make contact.

Aliens who landed on earth and asked: “Take me to your leader” would be directed to Mrs Othman.

She will set out the details of her proposed new role at a Royal Society conference in Buckinghamshire next week.

The 58-year-old is expected to tell delegates that the proposal has been prompted by the recent discovery of hundreds of planets orbiting other starts, which is thought to make the discovery of extraterrestrial life more probable than ever before.

Mrs Othman is currently head of the UN’s little known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa).

In a recent talk to fellow scientists, she said: “The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities, sustains the hope that some day human kind will received signals from extraterrestrials.

“When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. The UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination.”

I left this comment: Time perhaps for serious attention to the possibility that aliens are visiting us already, leaving crop circles as their calling cards.”
 
 In a mailing yesterday, my ally, Steve Bassett, who is the only registered lobbyist for government disclosure, in announcing the updating of  Paradigm Research Group’s Media Archive, said this:
“PRG created the PRG Media Archive to make mainstream reporters and editors aware the UFO/ET issue is in fact being covered extensively by standard media worldwide. More importantly it is to show the vast majority of this coverage – 95% plus in the modern era – is straight with little or no ridicule.”

 

Reuters Takes UFO Story Seriously

33-67fbb38ac0-detail

2010 Paranormal Symposium and Film Festival: winners of Sir Arthur Awards for Excellence in Paranormal Filmmaking … me and Terje & Truls Toftenes, allies from the croppie world, with Festival director, Paul Davids, the filmmaker of  “Roswell,” a Showtime hit a few years ago.

Stories about UFOs disarming nukes are well known in the UFO community, and press conferences don’t guarantee press coverage, but the fact that Reuters picked this up is encouraging re the public getting how real this is.

The more I get to be around the UFO world, the more I learn about how the government isn’t telling the truth. At the recent 2010 Paranormal Symposium, the Roswell incident was talked about, reminding me how the official government story from just a few years ago, presumably to once and for all put down the interest in Roswell that has maintained to this day, ascribed it to weather balloons and crash dummies that had not been developed before the 1947 Roswell incident. It’s surreal that distortions like this can occur and there is no way to redress them. Where oh where has our media gone?

This email is from English croppie, David Haith:

Subject: UFOs are Tampering with US Nuclear Weapons

Hi Pals

When Reuters publishes this: U.S. Nuclear Weapons Have Been Compromised by Unidentified Aerial Objects

…one can wonder whether – fingers crossed – the UFO breakthrough into the mainstream media may be close.

Author Robert Hastings, who is organising a press conference in Washington on September 28 in which six former U.S. Air Force officers will reveal their own dramatic experiences involving UFOs at nuclear weapons sites, certainly hopes so, although he admits he still has to persuade the media to actually turn up to hear the evidence!

Certainly the Internet has taken this on board. This pulls up nearly 9,000 hits generated just by Robert’s press release.

So PLEASE FORWARD this email to as many people as possible to get this remarkable story out there and discussed around the world…

The American Chronicle
September 19

Retired Military Personnel To Confirm UFO Incursions at American Nuclear Weapons Sites

Excerpts:

“Declassified U.S. government documents and the testimony of more than 120 former or retired military personnel have established, beyond doubt, the reality of ongoing UFO incursions at American nuclear weapons sites. While most of the incidents apparently involved mere surveillance, in a few cases a significant number of nuclear missiles suddenly and simultaneously malfunctioned, just as USAF Security Policemen reported seeing disc-shaped craft hovering nearby…

“On September 27th, during a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. , six former U.S. Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will reveal their own dramatic experiences involving UFOs at nuclear weapons sites…

“At long last, all of these witnesses are coming forward to say that, as unbelievable as it may seem to some, UFOs have long monitored and sometimes tampered with our nukes. If ever there were a front page story, this is it…”
