Turns out that Cameron is only the third recipient. The first two were Leslie Keane and Lee Spiegel. Difficult to tell if the level's going up or down.<br /><br />BTW, speaking of Spiegel: is the letter visible at 1 minute into this movie genuine?<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No3Q5f5CwKg<br />It supposedly comes from the Grenada delegation to the UN but refers to the Prime Minister of Grenada as "Sir Gairy". Anyone in the Grenada government or its diplomatic missions would surely know that the correct form of address is "Sir Eric". Only someone unfamiliar with British terminology would write "Sir Gairy". It's the kind of mistake that Americans often make. So who could have written it?

All vehicles need to be maintained, no matter how advanced. We have spy satellites and survey satellites constantly surveying the land; we have submarines constantly traversing the oceans. If there were any alien bases, it seems rather probable that they would have been found by now. There simply is not that much unexplored territory any more. The moon and the other planets and moons have been photographed for years--again, no sign of an alien presence. And, of course, the big hurdle to overcome for any alien species to come here is the limitation of speed to that of light. Speeds can be higher, but then the velocity equation inverts, and we have motion in time, not space--hence warp drive is infeasible. Besides, there is no evidence that space or time can be "warped" anyway. Therefore, the UFO and "Ancient Astronaut" communities haven't even begun to prove their case--they've never supplied any hard evidence of alien bases--not even Area 51--which obviously is a top secret U.S. Air Force base.Transpoewrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12540890121217814370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-33900940730933595772013-07-26T04:19:50.017-07:002013-07-26T04:19:50.017-07:00So, am I to take it that after 22 years, the Inter...So, am I to take it that after 22 years, the International UFO congress is still rehashing stories about MJ-12, Roswell, etc.?

Acceptance ..."UFO Researcher of the Year"<br />Acceptance Speech<br /><br />First, I'd like to thank the UFO community of bestowing this award to me even if I was the only nominee. Before I speak, I need to make an announcement:<br /><br />Would the person or Extraterrestrial that double-parked their UFO please move or fly it to a designated parking space. Thank you.<br /><br />Raise your hand if anyone in the audience has seen an UFO?<br />OK... almost everyone. <br /><br />Raise your hand if anyone in the audience has been abducted?<br />Wow!.... even MORE people.<br /><br />Well that's why the UFO research is so important.<br /><br />People ask me, what makes a great UFO Researcher?<br />And I say you don't have to be great, just average, or below average works just as well. <br /><br />I also like to say to aspiring UFO Researchers out there.<br />Anybody can do this. Just print business cards with a title "UFO Researcher Extraordinaire and other Paranormal Stuff" and you're now an UFO expert.<br /><br />But it takes dedication. <br /><br />I'll be lying to you if I said it wasn't hard work.<br />There are countless hours of viewing YouTube UFO videos and skimming through UFO books. Don't bother reading the books since it takes up too much time.<br /><br />(laughter)<br /><br />And interviewing people is part of the job, too.<br />Remember the UFO Researcher's Golden Rule - their story is far more interesting than the facts. Stick with that and you can't go wrong.<br /><br />And don't fret about inconvenient facts. That's not what UFO research is about. If you're not sure make stuff up! Be creative. Need a UFO photo? Well, that's what PhotoShop is used for.<br /><br />So what is UFO Research really about, you ask? It’s about having fun. I must admit it is fun to introduce yourself has a real life Fox Mulder at cocktail parties. The ladies will be impressed. <br /><br />I'll display this “UFO Researcher of the Year” next to my "World's Greatest Dad" coffee mug.<br />Thank you.<br /><br />(applause)<br /><br />TS4072https://www.blogger.com/profile/14868748913496479906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-79646042300602853482013-07-23T13:52:21.091-07:002013-07-23T13:52:21.091-07:00Hey, I’ve had spam emails from Alexander, and so I...Hey, I’ve had spam emails from Alexander, and so I expect has everyone in his address book.

I didn't re-post all I'd written then (and I left out the backlink - sorry! It's fixed). In that entry I also wrote:<br /><br />"Cameron spoke at length about a well-known but still somewhat mysterious figure in the early history of UFOlogy: Wilbert Smith, a Canadian radio engineer. In 1953 Smith somehow convinced Canadian authorities to allow him to set up a small project to investigate flying saucers, having supposedly determined that the American government considers the subject of the highest priority and secrecy. Smith was among those who supposedly experienced 'contact' with the extraterrestrials."<br /><br />I don't know if I mentioned this before, but it appears that Smith was actually a member of the famous end-of-the-world saucer cult made famous in "When Prophecy Fails." Smith was into not only magnetism, but also mental contact with saucers (as they were then called).<br />Robert Sheafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324537021429419111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-73302635430650556612013-07-23T07:54:39.896-07:002013-07-23T07:54:39.896-07:00I had some correspondence with Grant Cameron years...I had some correspondence with Grant Cameron years ago about Wilbert Smith (yes the guy who in his infamous memo of November 1950 unwittingly launched the whole MJ-12 fiasco). <br /><br />Cameron seemed besotted with Smith who, we should remember, hoped to construct a working flying disc in his lab in the early 1950s.<br /><br />I believe Cameron still intends to produce a book on Wilbert Smith's life, sometime. I am surprised Cameron did not mention in his conference speech that Smith was an early contactee himself and was conversing mentally with extraterrestrials soon after Adamski, though Smith never claimed to have met them face-to-face. <br /><br />cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-15446903417694798342013-07-23T07:05:29.709-07:002013-07-23T07:05:29.709-07:00"The streaks in question are consistent with ..."The streaks in question are consistent with energetic particle (proton) impacts on the CCD, something which is apparent in just about every image," Nathan Rich, of the NRL's solar physics branch, told the website.<br /><br />"These artifacts do not persist from image to image," Rich added...."<br /><br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/26/ufo-near-the-sun-or-a-camera-glitch_n_1456380.htmlzoamchomskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519698426338891542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-65933276030760460172013-07-22T20:30:49.687-07:002013-07-22T20:30:49.687-07:00Hi Robert, this is a little off topic but I was wo...Hi Robert, this is a little off topic but I was wondering if you have ever seen posts from " UFO sightings daily" regarding " giant ufos orbiting the sun"? The web master claims that these ufos have been known to NASA for years and that NASA will not comment on them because it would somehow make the claims/ photos valid? The images from SOHO camera he presents show very strange objects around the sun, but if they are there the earth and some the size of Juipiter? Would we not have massive gravitational effects on our world from such objects? The web fool claims NASA will not comment because they are trying to keep ufo secret. Really? Just wondering if you have an explination for the images so NASA does not have to waste time?Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845549596500134205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-91638708289267187902013-07-22T18:20:04.499-07:002013-07-22T18:20:04.499-07:00Yes---he is the cream of the crop!Yes---he is the cream of the crop!Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17280922104955532058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-15841564018644265592013-07-22T16:38:18.547-07:002013-07-22T16:38:18.547-07:00Maybe UFO researchers should get awards for consis...Maybe UFO researchers should get awards for consistency?
