Hawking Is Spreading Disinformation Says Former Canadian Minister of Defense

type='html'>A former Canadian Minister of Defense says that the U.S. government has been hiding evidence of extraterrestirals for a very long time, and Stephen Hawking is spreading disinformation about extraterrestrial life.

Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Minister of Defense is an outspoken man who has no doubts UFOs are real alien spaceship.

Over the years he has made a number of public interviews and expressed his concern about a future intergalactic war.

Buried UFO? Big Metal Object Found In Austria

type='html'>Is the metallic object found in a hole by Austrian farmer Franz Knoglinger a buried UFO?

An Austrian farmer looking for his lost cat stumbled upon a hole that he thinks might contain the greatest UFO find of all time.

Franz Knoglinger, 47, found the 25-foot-deep, perfectly round hole in northwestern Austrian field while searching for his misplaced kitty Sunday night. He pulled out every investigative trick in the book to learn what was at the bottom.

Throw a rock down the hole? Check.

"I was looking for our family cat Murlimann when I noticed the hole -- I didn't know how deep it was then so I dropped the stone down there, and heard a metallic clunk," he told the Austrian Times. Read more

The Legend of the Golem of Lauderdale

type='html'>The Golem of Prague is famous in Jewish folklore, but now Miami Paranormal has an account of the Golem of Lauderdale.

Miami Paranormal received this letter from a person who wishes to remain anonymous. While not 100% certain as to what this person saw, it is our opinion that the creature described is a Golem. If that is true then it is very exciting news because this would mean the legend of the golem is true. The Golem is an old Jewish folklore legend that tells of a creature made of clay or mud that is brought to life. Probably the most famous tale is the Golem of Prague.

“I have held off telling anybody about this for some time, at least two months. It was an experience that frightened me, and moreover, I thought I was crazy, and thought everyone would think the same. Well, I don’t have a problem with being crazy, but I don’t want to be THAT kind of crazy. This is often attributed to UFO’s but I have become convinced otherwise, largely by my own intuition and gut feeling. I keep going over this over and over again, but I cannot entertain the possibility that this was a figment of my imagination. I did not dream this during a drowsy spell behind the wheel of my truck.

The 6 Most Famous Alien Abductions

type='html'>Danny Gallagher lists six famous alien abductions, but he leaves out the most famous:  the 1985 alien abduction of Whitley Strieber.

Some say alien abductions are nothing more than fevered, unexplained night visions that make their victims believe they were the guinea pig of an interstellar joyride.

Others believe the stories as cold hard fact, that aliens are using humans to unlock all of the mysteries of the universe, which may or may not have something to do with an ultrasound probe in an uncomfortable place.

Either way, it seems that this strange phenomenon is forever ingrained in our culture. Some of the most infamous cases of UFO abductions have spawned books, films and even serious historical recognition. So since today is “Alien Abduction Day,” we look back at some of those cases that made us scratch our heads as we looked up at the stars. Read more

Was There a Second Roswell?

type='html'>Ray Grasse uncovers a new eyewitness account of a crashed vehicle and dead bodies near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, but it's not the same one as we've all heard about before.

…and we looked down and saw these things and I said to myself — it just didn’t register to me. And then all of the sudden I realized what we had seen and I just couldn’t believe it, you know, like it was not happening. And yet it was happening, like it was a dream.” - Irwin Fortman

It’s probably the most discussed UFO event of our time, and has been a source of ongoing controversy even amongst UFO researchers through the years. But is it possible the now-famous incident at the Roswell Air Force Base in July of 1947, where witnesses claimed to have encountered the wreckage of one or more crashed UFO's in the New Mexico desert, was followed just a few months later by a similar incident? As unlikely as that might seem, I’d simply invite the reader to consider the following facts before making up their mind. Read more

After Almost 40 Years Ex-Military Pilot Reveals Close UFO Encounter

type='html'> After almost 40 years, ex-military pilot Larry Jividen reveals a close UFO encounter he had near Pensacola, Florida.

On the night of Feb. 6, 1975, Marine Reserve Squadron Capt. Larry Jividen was piloting a T-39D Sabreliner (see image above) combat trainer and utility aircraft with five Naval officer pilots on board for a special training flight. He didn't know the evening would evolve into a game of "tag" with an unidentified flying object.

Jividen hasn't spoken about that experience from nearly 40 years ago -- until now.

The nine-year Marine Corps officer -- and later commercial airline pilot -- had taken off at twilight for a two-hour roundtrip that began and ended at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. Read more

Did the Mayans Have Contact with ETs?

type='html'>A documentary film Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond will show evidence of alien contact in ancient Mexico.

The ancient Mayans had contact with alien visitors who left behind evidence of their existence, according to a new Mexican documentary.

Sundance winner Juan Carlos Rulfo's Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond is currently in production for release next year to coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar, reports the Wrap.

Producer Raul Julia-Levy said the documentary-makers were working in cooperation with the Mexican government for what he said was "the good of mankind". He said the order to collaborate had come directly from the country's president, Álvaro Colom Caballeros.

"Mexico will release codices, artefacts and significant documents with evidence of Mayan and extraterrestrial contact, and all of their information will be corroborated by archaeologists," he said. "The Mexican government is not making this statement on their own – everything we say, we're going to back it up." Read more

Israeli Scientists Search for Gateway to Hell

type='html'>Israeli scientists are exploring Twins Cave, which ancient people may have believed was a portal to the underworld.

It's an ancient legend: Located in scattered areas of Earth are openings, doorways, gates, if you will, to some unseen underworld, also variously referred to as hell, Hades and Dante's Inferno.

Researchers exploring the famous Twins Cave outside of Jerusalem have uncovered evidence of some pagan rituals, dating back to the Roman Empire, that suggest people may have believed the cave was a portal to this underworld.

Bar-Ilan University archaeologists found 42 clay lamps -- dating to the late Roman period -- in a 70-foot-long vertical shaft inside the cave. It's speculated that the lamps may have been used in ancient rituals between the 2nd and 4th century C.E., to supposedly guide the Greek goddess Demeter into Hades to search for her missing daughter.

Hunting Bigfoot in Florida

type='html'>Amanda Petrusich describes her Bigfoot hunting expedition in the Florida Panhandle with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.

A Bigfoot's howl is multidimensional: a deep and undulating whoop that starts low and ends in a high, feral squeal or resolves completely, like a siren. The first time I unleashed one, while crouching on a bluff overlooking the eastern bank of the Apalachicola River, Matt Moneymaker — who, moments earlier, had loosed a robust, commanding shriek that echoed cleanly through the valley — responded with a hearty guffaw.

“I have a cold,” I mumbled by way of an excuse. It was nearly 2 a.m., and we were huddled in the dark in Torreya State Park near Bristol, on the Florida Panhandle. My craggy, toadlike holler did not yield a response. Read more

New Jersey Couple Sues over Haunted House

type='html'>A New Jersey couple is suing their landlord alleging that the house he rented them is haunted. I wonder how they plan to prove their claim in court.

This New Jersey couple is suing their landlord alleging that their landlord rented them a house that is very haunted. Michele Callan and Josue Chinchilla are suing over their $2,250. They left the home on March 11, 2012 claiming they were in “in mortal danger” if they returned. The owner of the house Dr. Richard Lopez who is an orthodontist is counter suing claiming that the house is not haunted and that his tenants are just trying to get out of their monthly rental payments and lease.

 “Frankly, there is something else going on,” Lopez’s lawyer David Semanchik told the Asbury Park Press. “She is a single mom, she has this fiance living with her. I think she is in over her head and she can’t afford the rent." Read more

Cat People, Strippers, and Telekinesis: Tales from Alien Abductees

type='html'>New York photographer Steven Hirsch tried to put a human face to alien abductees by meeting, interviewing, and photographing people who claim close contact with extraterrestrials.

Alien abductions make for a good sci-fi plot devices, but it's easy to forget that we walk among people -- in the real world -- who claim to have been visited, beamed up and probed by little gray men.

Is Nessie a Monster or a Ghost?

type='html'>Is the Loch Ness Monster really a monster, or is it a ghost? Maybe a joint investigation by Destination Truth and Ghost Hunters International is needed.

No less than 250 million years ago, massive and violent changes in the Earth’s crust carved a gigantic rift across a specific area of the landscape of Scotland, which has since become known as the Great Glen. Over countless millennia, the huge, basin-like Glen began to fill with water, and eventually transformed much of the country into an area populated by countless lakes – or lochs, as they are known to the Scots.

And, without doubt, the most famous and mysterious of all those many and varied bodies of water is Loch Ness, the dark and mysterious abode of the legendary long-necked monster dubbed Nessie. In excess of twenty miles long, nearly a mile wide, more than seven hundred feet deep and home to the famous Urquhart Castle – the origins of which date back to the 6th Century - Loch Ness is a distinctly eerie and magical place.

Mayan Calendar Re-Calibrated to Beyond 2012

type='html'>I hope you haven't quit your job, sold your house, and run up big debts already. A newly unearthed Mayan calendar re-calibrates the end date to beyond 2012.

Archaeologists have found a stunning array of 1,200-year-old Maya paintings in a room that appears to have been a workshop for calendar scribes and priests, with numerical markings on the wall that denote intervals of time well beyond the controversial cycle that runs out this December.

 For years, prophets of doom have been saying that we're in for an apocalypse on Dec. 21, 2012, because that marks the end of the Maya "Long Count" calendar, which was based on a cycle of 13 intervals known as "baktuns," each lasting 144,000 days. But the researchers behind the latest find, detailed in the journal Science and an upcoming issue of National Geographic, say the writing on the wall runs counter to that bogus belief. Read more

Former Army Colonel: UFO Witnesses Need Amnesty

type='html'>Retired Army Col. John Alexander is seeking amnesty for military personnel who have witnessed UFOs.

If you're in the military and have ever seen what you believe to be a UFO, but were reluctant to mention it for fear of ridicule or, worse, repercussions that might end your career, take heart. Things may change.

A former military insider with top secret clearance who created Advanced Theoretical Physics -- a group of top-level government officials and scientists brought together to study UFO reports -- has just called on three of the highest-ranking military and intelligence officials in the Obama administration.

Retired Army Col. John Alexander has one goal: to ask Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus and National Intelligence Director Gen. James Clapper to offer amnesty to anyone in the military who has been previously sworn to secrecy about UFOs. Read more

Remote Viewing Solves Murder

Real Stories of Men in Black

type='html'>Men in Black was inspired by scary stories of people who've seen UFOs, says Lee Spiegel.

When "Men in Black 3" opens everywhere over Memorial Day weekend, most moviegoers will just be hoping this sequel matches the original for popcorn-munching fun.

But there are many people who say they've been victimized by and live in fear of real MIBs. And those stories, told for decades, are just as terrifying as they are detailed.

Ever since the early 1950s, long before the first "Men in Black" movie hit the silver screen in 1997, men dressed in identical black suits, hats and sunglasses, claiming to be government agents, have reportedly shown up in black cars at the homes or offices of people who reported UFO sightings.

According to those who were paid these unwelcome visits, the MIBs threatened or harassed the eyewitnesses into staying quiet about their UFO encounters. Read more

Are There Aliens on the Moon?

type='html'>Astronomers Paul Davies and Robert Wagner reported seeing five UFOs on the moon in mid-April 2012.

Paul Davies and Robert Wagner report seeing five UFOs on moon in mid April 2012 according to testimony supplied from M24digital.com. These astronomers are affiliated with Arizona State University. M24digital.com released this discovery on 12 May 2012.

Astronomers Paul Davies and Robert Wagner had proposed a search for alien evidence on the surface of the moon in 2011. These astronomers had believed that a detailed study of thousands of photographs taken by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter might reveal such evidence.

“If it costs little to scan data for signs of intelligent manipulation, little is lost in doing so, even though the probability of detecting alien technology at work may be exceedingly low,” they said. Read more

How to Make a Powerful Love Potion

type='html'>

A love potion is a type of potion designed to create feelings of love towards a person. It may refer to something that is consumed by the intended lover, but it can also refer to a scent that is worn by the person seeking a lover. This powerful love potion is intended to be worn as a scent, not consumed. The results are astounding. To make it, you will need:


Pint-size Mason jar
Love-drawing herbs/roots, such as:

• Catnip - Used to captivate your lover with your special ways and to capture his or her heart.
• Damiana - Used to draw a new lover, to intensify sexual passion, or to bring back a straying lover.
• Juniper berries - Used to increase virility in men, enhance sensuality in women, and attract physical love.
• Lovage - Used to attract a lover of the opposite gender for romance and sexual passion.
• Senna leaf - Used to draw love from someone unaware of your interest.

Controlling herb/root, such as:

• Calamus - Used to control situation or to dominate a specific person. 
• Cubeb berries - Used to control a lover and to increase sexual heat. 
• Licorice - Used to gain power over others and control them. 

Florida Water
Red lodestone (optional)
Love/sex oils, such as Attraction, Come to Me, or Love Drawing
Atomizer or spray bottle

Soak two love-drawing herbs or roots and one controlling herb/root that best suit your purpose in a pint-size Mason jar of Florida Water for a month. Use about two tablespoons of each herb. Adding a lodestone to the mixture will make it more potent.

After a month, on a full moon, you will masturbate yourself to climax and capture your semen, vaginal fluids, or menstrual blood in a small container to add to the mixture.

Before you begin masturbating, strain off the liquid in which you have the herbs and lodestone soaking into an atomizer or spray bottle. Next, visualize what you want to happen when you wear the potion. See yourself in the throes of sexual passion, and if love is also the object, visualize and feel the emotions the two of you will have. Then masturbate, building up to the edge of orgasm and backing off several times. When you finally are ready to climax, recall your visualization and bring yourself to orgasm.

Add your sexual fluids and the appropriate love/sex oils (one teaspoon each). To use the potion, simply shake well and mist yourself before dressing. Be sure to hit the hot spots like behind the ears, the neck, breast/chest, behind the knees, and of course down below if you are anticipating oral sex. Naturally since this potion is alcohol based, use sparingly around sensitive areas.

Do you want that special man or woman of your dreams to finally start noticing you? Do you long for the affections and attentions of that particular person? Do you wish he or she would just ask YOU out on a date? Take action now! Red Magick Love Spells has the right spell for you, even if you are not an experienced witch! To find out more, click here!

What Is at the Bottom of the Baltic Sea?

type='html'>A UFO-shaped object has been found at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, covered in soot, with little fireplaces, and lying at the end of a 1,000 foot runway.

Sceptics expected that a deep-water dive would debunk the slew of extra-terrestrial theories surrounding an unidentified object sitting at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

But the Swedish expedition team that took the plunge surfaced with more questions than answers - and certainly no solution to its origins.

The divers found that the object, which some have likened to the Millennium Falcon because of its unusual round outline, was raised about 10 to 13ft above the seabed and curved in at the sides, giving it a mushroom shape. Read more

How Much Does Your Soul Weigh?

type='html'>Does the human soul weight 21 grams? Psychic researcher Jerry Conser is trying to find out.

For at least 100 years, the more oddball branches of science have struggled to answer this metaphysical head-scratcher: How much does the human soul weigh?

In 1907, a Massachusetts doctor named Duncan MacDougall settled on the figure of 21 grams – the average weight loss experienced by six terminal tuberculosis patients he strapped to a scale at the moment of death.

A dozen years ago, an Oregon rancher named Lew Hollander tried to measure the souls of one ram, seven ewes, three lambs and a goat. His findings: The animals actually gained weight as they shook off this mortal coil – anywhere from 18 to 780 grams. Read more

"It was not a damn weather balloon -- it was what it was billed when people first reported it," said Chase Brandon, a 35-year CIA veteran. "It was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet, it crashed and I don't doubt for a second that the use of the word 'remains' and 'cadavers' was exactly what people were talking about."
