Neill Blomkamp who previously directed Halo and Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame are behind the massively promoted new movie District Nine which opens today nationwide. I’m assuming most readers of this blog are Sci-fi fans who plan on eventually seeing this new film.
What you might not know is that Blomkamp actually created a short film predecessor to District 9 called Alive in Joberg that has been on YouTube for about three years. Here it is in case you missed it:
You can also catch an interview with Blomkamp and D9’s star Copley here and one of the trailers for the movie here.
If you’ve seen the film please let us know what you think in the comments. Thanks.
Britain’s “The Sun” is reporting on some of the most amazing UFO footage recorded to date. From the Sun:
The 42-year-old and a number of residents claim the UFOs were spotted over a four month period between May and September near the compound in Istanbul.
He said: “I don’t know what these things are. We filmed them several times and they are totally unknown to us. I was very excited when I saw them and I want the world to know that UFOs do exist”.
Almost two-and-a-half hours of footage was filmed featuring a variety of objects ranging from incredible flying saucer-type ‘craft’ to clustering orb-like lights hovering in the night sky.
Genuine
The clips were handed to the Sirius UFO Space Science Research Centre in Turkey who interviewed witnesses and painstakingly combed through the footage frame by frame.
International UFO researcher Haktan Akdogan said: “In this amazing video footage, physical forms of UFOs and their metallic structures are clearly noticeable.
“What is more important is that in the close-up of some footage of the objects, entities in them can be distinctly made out.”
He continues: “We have spoken with all of the witnesses and had detailed analysis conducted on all two-and-a-half hours of footage.
“After conducting all of the analysis we came to the conclusion that this video footage is 100 per cent genuine.
“The objects filmed are structured objects and are not the result of misidentification or natural phenomena, aircraft or astronomical objects.
“They are not the results either of any kind of computer animation. Now is it a time for world governments to acknowledge the reality of UFOs.”
From what I can discern from the video, it appears that this craft is what Bob Lazar referred to as a “sport model” only even smaller. In fact to me it looks all the world like a sports car cockpit with a clear bubble over the center space where it appears that there is something controlling the vehicle – pehaps the alien pilot??
I paused the video numerous times during the segments where this clear section is visible and it even appears that you can see some luminous controls on a dashboard. I kid you not.
So, is this real or is it a well executed hoax? So far the experts are proclaiming the footage to be genuine but we will have to see if it withstands future scrutiny. If it is legitimate then it is clear that we are getting closer than ever to disclosure, either because it is the right thing to do or because the extraterrestrials are tired of waiting…
In a post that appeared on his website on the 29th of July of this year, McClelland stated:
“I, Clark C. McClelland, former ScO [Spacecraft Operator], Space Shuttle Fleet, personally observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET on his 27 inch video monitors while on duty in the Kennedy Space Center, Launch Control Center (LCC). The ET was standing upright in the Space Shuttle Payload Bay having a discussion with TWO tethered US NASA Astronauts! I also observed on my monitors, the spacecraft of the ET as it was in a stabilized, safe orbit to the rear of the Space Shuttle main engine pods. I observed this incident for about one minute and seven seconds. Plenty of time to memorize all that I was observing. IT WAS AN ET and Alien Star Ship!”
When added to the statements made just the other day by Dr Edgar Mitchell, the prior remarks by Bob Lazar (which perhaps should be reevaluated given these recent revelations), and the mounting body of evidence that contradicts NASA and our government’s words on the topic it is starting to look more and more likely that what was once thought to be fertile ground for those with only a thin grasp on reality might be more or less the truth of the situation.
In my opinion one of two things is happening; either this is simply a continuation of our Government’s plan of action which requires that the public be gradually desensitized before a full disclose can take place or else these individuals have reached a point where they feel that they are no longer at risk of certain reprisals that the powers that be might inflict upon them for their breach of certain security oaths and their consciences – perhaps due to their advancing age – has compelled them to come clean before it is too late.
There are some things that I am certain about. One is that this trend is only going to continue at an ever increasing pace until all the facts are out on the table and/or two, that an irrefutable extraterrestrial visitation event takes place such that no further denial is possible.
In either case, those of us that have steadfastly believed that we were not alone and have been resolute in that belief in spite of scorn, ridicule and the derision of our peers will ultimately be vindicated by what I think are now becoming more and more obvious facts.
The truth has been a long time coming – one can only hope that when it finally does come all the way out that those that have lied, deceived and taken advantage of their privileged positions for their own personal material benefit will be forced to account for their transgressions and that they will in some way pay for their crimes against the people of this and other planets.
On another note, you might have missed it since they appeared to have tried to minimize what is perhaps the most significant news ever received from a Martian rover lander; Phoenix has confirmed the presence of water ice on the surface of mars. As the mission scientists put it: “We’ve touched and tasted water on Mars”.
It has long been held that were there is water there is usually (in fact so far as we know there is always) life. Don’t be too surprised if the next news coming from the red planet is that they have found living organisims (but not by Phoenix nor any of the current rovers that don’t have the equipment required to make a definitive detection of living material).
This is also part of the desensitization process. First microbes, then plants, then lower life forms and before you know it we’ll be meeting our new nine foot tall overlords in their anti-gravity super-luminal craft.
Actually I agree with Dr Mitchell on this one. If the extraterrestrials we’ve encountered so far were hostile we’d either be gone already or else we’d be in their form of the galley of some Ben Hur ship or chipping away for some sort of ore in huge underground caverns.
No. They are our friends. Or at least we are so insignificant to them that they can’t be bothered to destroy us. Either way is fine by me. Just so long as they’re not like the aliens in “Mars Attacks”. That would be a real disappointment.
Dr. Edgar Mitchell, NASA Astronaut and the 6th Man to Stand on the moon recently made the above statement during a live interview on Kerrang Radio.
He went on to say that the Roswell crash – he actually called it the “Roswell Incident” took place and stated that he was not the only man to have stood on the moon who was in the know on this topic. As you can hear in the YouTube clip of the actual interview (below), the host is shocked nearly speechless at Mitchell’s revelation.
Having listened to the interview as well as having followed this topic with keen interest for most of my life I have to say that this is one of the most credible, high-profile disclosures of extra-terrestrial visitation that has ever been made.
Beyond his stature as an Astronaut, Dr Mitchell is a well-known scientist with a reputation that is beyond reproach. It is difficult – if not impossible – to repudiate his remarks.
As responsible journalists the host of the show as well as his producer attempt to get a response from someone within NASA – this clip is also below. NASA’s response – both that of the public relations officer that fielded the call as well as the written response the show also received were suprising in the first case and predictable in the second.
The telling quote from the PR person:
“I can try to do that for you [get someone to comment]. Let me see who would be willing to dispute what an Astronaut said – if he said it…”
By itself this statement is fairly curious but in the context of his pauses, umms, ahs and weak attempts to refute the possibility that Mitchell did in fact make these statements it would seem to speak volumes in relatively few words.
The written reply they received was not nearly so surprising:
“Dear Alex, NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any cover-up. Dr Mitchell is a great American but we do not share his opinion on this issue. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.”
During the interview the host and Dr Mitchell discuss the timing of an “official disclosure” – by which one would assume they mean a duly authorized government or military official holding a press conference and stating publicly that we have been in contact with entities from outside of our solar system, that they are intelligent, possess vastly advanced technology and are clearly not hostile towards humans.
What we should realize is that this is EXACTLY what happened in the interview. Our government – either willingly, or perhaps as a result of the inexorable pressure being exerted by other countries’ disclosures – is trickling this information to us in ever greater depth and from persons of ever increasing credibility.
While there are probably still people at the highest levels inculcated with the fear the Brookings Report engendered, it would seem that others have realized that the truth of this matter will ultimately be revealed whether they like it or not. Given this fact, the only way they can retain any credibility is to leak this information a little at a time ahead of finally acknowledging the facts while at the same time blaming previous administrations for their cover-up and the decades of lies and denials.
Dr Mitchell is unquestionably patriotic and I find it difficult to believe that he would make these statements so casually. Personally I suspect that his remarks on Kerrang Radio are simply a next phase in the disclosure process that is taking place even as I write this. Similarly, NASA’s statements of denial are also part of the process – they are intended to give those people who NASA believes may find this information difficult to accept a refuge in the form of contradictory statements from an “official source”.
If I am correct in my assessment you can expect more of this type of disclosure/ refuted disclosure over the next couple of months with the source doing the disclosing becoming ever more public, and ever more “official” while the part doing the refuting will likewise diminish in credibility and stature during the same period.
I know some people won’t believe any of this until there’s a press conference complete with UFOs on the Whitehouse lawn but for the rest of us this is a very exciting time. Hopefully there’s much more to come!
In 2002 Dr. Tom van Flandern, a PhD in Astronomy and formerly the Chief of the Celestial Mechanics Branch of the Nautical Almanac Office and the US Naval Observatory, gave a lecture that sent shockwaves through the field of astronomy ripples of controversy created by this lecture continue right up through today. Rarely do people with credentials such as Dr. Van Flandern’s, who come from typically conservative fields such as the science of astronomy, make strong personal statements about their beliefs, especially when those beliefs are diametrically opposed to that held by the majority of such an individual’s contemporaries. Nevertheless, with his statement:
“The odds of the anomalous items imaged in the Cydonia region of Mars being of Natural Origin are one thousand billion, billion to one against this theory. In other words, the possibility that these objects occurred naturally has been ruled out beyond a shadow of a doubt.”
that is exactly what Dr. Van Flandern did.
Here is the three part lecture where Dr Van Flandern makes this statement and brings to our attention many other previously unpublicized features of the Martian surface that may surprise, bewilder, shock or humble even the most skeptical of viewers. Please watch with an open mind. For additional revelations about Mars, please visit my friend J.P. Skippers amazing website Mars Anomaly Research for even more amazing images and insightful analysis of the hidden truth of our second nearest celestial neighbor.
I was browsing videos on disclose TV recently and came across a rather bizarre clip. In the clip, which is being shot by the passenger in a vehicle headed down the highway, everything appears normal when suddenly, something falls from the sky and slams into the car’s windshield. The driver apparently panics and as a result loses control of the vehicle and wrecks the car.
We do not know if the individual’s in the automobile were injured, killed or lucky and remained unharmed. What we do know, thanks to video editing software and the fine features of a Macbook Pro are that the “entity” that fell from the sky was a cat. (as the images below which are frame grabs of the video clearly show. We have no idea, whatsoever, how this particular cat came to be so substantially airborne that it needed a parachute and a better choice of locations for its landing. (I do not believe it fell from the overpass which should have been well behind the car. This leaves it open to several possibilities: high tension wires? Falling from an aircraft? Dropped by a large bird of prey? Released after alien testing? New species of cat that can fly but needs work on coming down? Your guess is as good as mine…
Editor’s Note: The following press release announces the beginning of the Orion Project. This boldly audacious project, founded by Disclosure Project Creator and New Energy proponent Dr. Steven Greer intends to the world out of the dark ages of fossil fuels and into a new level of prosperity, freedom and peace- all while disrupting the hegemony of the 6 trillion per year, or 200 trillion aggregate reserves of the global fossil fuel cartel.
With reserves dwindling and countries already beginning to jockey for control of the last remaining accessible oil reserves, someone has to take the lead and stride fearlessly into an oil-free future. It should be no surprise to those that know him that Dr. Steven Greer – the man that pulled together one of the most remarkable press conferences in modern history – The Disclosure Project - would be at the helm of this new and innovative approach to facilitating a rapid push from concept to completed technology resulting in pollution free devices that have the ability to tap the Zero Point and generate clean, distributed power anywhere in the world. For more details, please see the press release below.
Announcing: The Orion Project
A new non-profit research foundation named The Orion Project (www.TheOrionProject.org) has been created to develop new, out-of-the-box energy solutions.
Based near the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA, The Orion Project has been founded to bring together highly accomplished scientists, researchers, inventors and thinkers who have expertise in advanced energy generation and propulsion technologies. Their goal is to develop bold new energy generation technologies within the next two years that will completely replace the need for oil, gas, coal and nuclear power.
It is known that, since the time of Nicola Tesla in the early 1900s, advances in energy generation and propulsion systems have been developed, only to be ignored, actively suppressed or forgotten. The Orion Project’s Director, Steven M. Greer MD, notes that:
“In the past 18 years, our team has developed a database of scientific advances in new, clean tech energy systems that, if properly funded and supported, have the potential to completely revolutionize how we generate energy. These breakthroughs in physics- so-called Zero Point Energy, electro-gravitic propulsion and other systems- have, up to this point, been developed and hidden in illegally classified projects in the US, UK and elsewhere. The Orion Project has identified the most qualified brain-trust of scientists and inventors who understand this new science, and are ready to come together to help solve the energy and environmental crisis facing humanity today.”
The Orion Project has announced a $3 million capital fund raising campaign so that these promising clean-technology energy researchers can be brought together in one place to build the initial proof of principle prototype to help solve the energy crisis once and for all. This prototype will be designed to meet all the energy needs of a typical home or business while having a zero-carbon footprint using new electromagnetic and related energy breakthroughs.
Dr. Greer states that, “The world needs an immediate Manhattan-style project to find real energy solutions and deliver them to the people. Now the public can support this quest through a tax-deductible donation. If 100,000 people go to www.TheOrionProject.org and contribute $30 each in the next 60 days, we will be able to open this new energy research facility and bring together some of the best minds on the planet to help solve our critical energy needs. Now is the time to act – the Earth has waited long enough for humanity to come together to find a way to live in harmony with her and with abundance and peace for all of her children. This cannot happen with the zero-sum game of fossil fuel. Only these new energy sciences hold the key to unlocking the wonderful future that awaits us.”

You might not believe in UFOs or the possibility that there’s intelligent life from elsewhere in the Universe visiting earth. You might think I’m nuts since I am convinced that this is the case. Regardless of your sentiments, what do you make of this?
I shot the original footage just after Christmas near Jean, Nevada just about 20 miles outside of Las Vegas. The object was exceedingly bright – at least an order of magnitude brighter than anything else in the sky that night and it was absolutely not any regularly occurring astronomical phenomenon.
The footage you’re seeing above is actually taken from the original material. What I’ve done is used a digital editing program to massively magnify the object I had observed and in addition I’ve slowed it down so that it can be viewed frame by frame.
What appears to be rapidly flickering multi-colored lights when viewed in the original un-magnified material has become an amazing morphing complex image that not only exhibits huge changes in color and luminosity, but also absolutely impossible variations in physical conformation morphing from one frame to the next from an object resembling a “Borg” Cube to a saucer to an insect and many other even stranger shapes as well.
My camera films at 30 frames per second and the object is morphing at least as fast as that if not faster.
Here’s the original footage so you can see what the object looked like as it was filmed and to give you an idea how fast it was changing and how much it was moving.Note that the stars which can be seen as solid colored (red, blue and green) dots on the video and in photos are neither blurred nor moving.
This of course means that it was in fact the object – and not the camera – that was moving. If you can show me footage of something that looks largely similar to what I’ve got here but which has been conclusively identified I will be surprised shocked.
I’ve had a fascination with the sky since I was a child and I’ve never before seen anything even remotely like this.
Incidentally, it is worth checking out the original video on YouTube. In addition to the UFO file, there are a number of other videos I’ve uploaded that are equally odd – especially if you’re into creepy crawlies.
StarrTrek is Oliver Starr’s personal weblog. For the most part, this blog is focused on developing technologies in the Mobile, Web2.0 and Green Energy ecosystems however that is not to say that I will limit myself to these topics should the desire strike to delve into politics, UFOlogy, health or conspiracy theories of various kinds.
