Whether it is from our future, other planets, or other dimensions, we don't know. What should be explored in greater deatail, is why Govt; agencies cover this stuff up. In my opinion, we are such indoctrinated social beings, being told what todo from birth, 1st by our parents, when we are 5 school authorities take over until the age of 17, then workplace, military service, other schooling, etc, until we retire, and have some freedom. When that happens most people feel lost, not knowing what to do with themselves, because of the social conditioning. Admitting the existence of Aliens, could cause serious social dysfunction. Theories could circulate that we we're created by alien civilizations, and are a giant cattle farm, waiting to be harvested, like the Twilight Zone thriller where the woman tells the man getting ready to board an alien spacecraft. 'Don't go, its a cookbook. Other theories about them needing our D.N.A. could circulate, and others of similar nature, which the Government feels could cause mass hysteria, and social disorder. People in the World should be educated on this subject to make it less likely. Being told that alien beings, a million years advanced, must have overcome there agressive tendencies to survive would help. Interviews with Govt officials about this subject would help also.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div> John&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </div><div>P.S.

Udo had an honest reputation and was a&nbsp; former&nbsp; Mormon missionary and had a family. According to UFO researcher&nbsp; Warren P. Aston, Udo reportedly kept written records, told his friends and neighbors about the 1940 sighting, and revisited <br /> the UFO&nbsp; site near Townsend, Montana, with close friends and took photographs.&nbsp; But he reportedly never saw the object again.&nbsp;&nbsp; He passed way in Oregon at the age of 86 in 1989.<br /> <br /> Kenneth Larson <br /> </font></font>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://ufomagazine.squarespace.com/letters/rss-comments-entry-1936319.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Alfred spikes another one over the net!</title><category>UFO Magazine</category><category>Alfred Lehmberg</category><dc:creator>Machine Elf (Lesley)</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jun 2008 23:17:55 +0000</pubDate><link>http://ufomagazine.squarespace.com/letters/2008/6/12/alfred-spikes-another-one-over-the-net.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">223920:2224662:1908662</guid><description><![CDATA[Hooray, Alfred Lehmberg! &nbsp;Your article in UFO magazine's April issue was pure joy to read in it's astute, &quot;laser beam&quot; assessment of the &quot;why's&quot; regarding the collective's ongoing denial of UFO's, and the more than likely (welcome) outcomes of that collective's eventual crossing of its own self generated ocean of egocentricity.<br /><br />That being said, my own sense is that this &quot;collective&quot; represents far fewer people than we may realize. &nbsp;I personally believe that there are more people out there who are wide open to, and would even welcome, the prospect of &quot;outside influence,&quot; but yet lack the courage to poke their heads above the status quo crowd and let their presence be known.<br /><br />Assuming I am right, I would then have to offer that the mechanism that keeps them &quot;low profile&quot; on this subject is the as yet, deeply persuading fear of &quot;not fitting in.&quot; &nbsp;I think there is some primal wiring inside the human being, who is a social creature at heart, that predisposes us toward protecting (at almost all costs), our ability to be accepted (and loved) by our peers. &nbsp;The potential fate of ending up with the status of &quot;social outcast,&quot; to the average human being, may ring just as terrifying a chord in the human heart as death itself. &nbsp;It's why &quot;ridicule&quot; and &quot;shame&quot; have worked so very well as tools for keeping those &quot;in the know,&quot; quiet for so long.<br /><br />Do the arrogant perspectives you speak of regarding our views of ourselves in relationship to the rest of the universe exist? &nbsp;Absolutely! &nbsp;Are we blinkered in our views of macrocosm, due to microcosmic fascinations with those things inane and fear based? &nbsp;Most definitely. &nbsp;But I do have some sense (based on what, I could not say), that lurking within the human heart is an awareness (perhaps yet unconscious), that we are gravely off track as a species, that our &quot;freedoms&quot; in a &quot;free world&quot; are anything but, and that the deep and haunting sense of meaninglessness and emptiness will not be assuaged by another materialistic &quot;fix.&quot;<br />]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://ufomagazine.squarespace.com/letters/rss-comments-entry-1908662.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Objects on Mars</title><category>Mars</category><dc:creator>Machine Elf (Lesley)</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 07 Jun 2008 23:52:24 +0000</pubDate><link>http://ufomagazine.squarespace.com/letters/2008/6/7/objects-on-mars.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">223920:2224662:1894264</guid><description><![CDATA[<font face="arial,helvetica"><font size="2" lang="0" face="Arial"> In his May 29, 2008, NBC TV News anchor broadcast, anchor Brian Williams showed the film taken by an American spacecraft circling the planet Mars.&nbsp; The spacecraft took a photo of two white objects on the surface of Mars.&nbsp; Brian Williams suggested that the first white object was the Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft that landed on Mars on May 25, 2008.&nbsp; The second white object, he thought, might be an intelligent spaceship observing the Phoenix Lander landing on Mars.&nbsp; This might have been a huge UFO observing the Phoenix Lander landing on Mars.&nbsp; NASA&nbsp; said the first white object was the Phoenix Lander and the second white object was a camera lens flare.<br /> <br /> During July 1976, the American spaceship Viking 1 took a photo of the noted and huge&nbsp; &quot;Face on Mars&quot; that faced upwards from the surface of Mars.&nbsp; NASA said at the time that this was caused by mountains on Mars.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps some reader might have a photo of the July 1976 Viking 1 Mars landing of the &quot;face&quot; on Mars or else might have a photo of the Phoenix Lander landing taken by the spacecraft circling Mars on May 25, 2008.<br /> <br /> In our time, one of the most amazing reports and close contact took place near Palmyra, New York, during the early spring of 1820.&nbsp; A&nbsp; 14-year-old farm boy named Joseph Smith said he went out into the woods and pray and unexpectedly saw in the clear blue sky a distant white object that descended and then illuminated the branches of the surrounding trees in the clearing as it landed on the ground.&nbsp; This same report was verified by Joseph's close associate Orson Pratt (THE JOURNALS OF ORSON PRATT).&nbsp;&nbsp; Joseph said that two brilliant personages appeared to him, called him by name, said they were of the Lord and had a spiritual message for him.&nbsp;&nbsp; During each September 21-22 of the years from 1823 to 1827, Joseph said he was visited by a heavenly messenger named Moroni who came down in a tube of white light and left upwards in a tube of white light.&nbsp; Moroni told Joseph that there was book of engraved metal plates buried in nearby Hill Cumorah near Palmry and these records concerned an ancient tribe that had departed from Old Jerusalem in the Old World circa 600 B.C. and migrated over a period of eight yeas to modern-day Arabia and Oman and were guided by a round metal ball that pointed directions to take called the Liahona.&nbsp; The group under Lehi built a ship and sailed across the oceans to western Central America of our day.&nbsp; After a series of battles that lasted to about A.D. 421, the last survivor named Moroni took the engraved metal plates and buried them in a hill.&nbsp; These were the same records recovered by Joseph Smith and his wife Emma on September 21-22, 1827.&nbsp;&nbsp; With the Urim and Thummim optical instrument found with the buried plates in a stone box on Hill Cumorah near Palmyra, New York, Joseph and his scribes translated the &quot;reformed Egyptian&quot; characters into English and published this as THE BOOK OF MORMON in A.D. 1830.&nbsp; With Joseph, there were eleven other witnesses who saw and felt and examined the book of metal gold plates.&nbsp; Also, some 13 million Mormons around the world believe that Joseph Smith and his witness wife Emma experienced the 1820 close contact near Palmyra and&nbsp; experienced the striking events of 1823 to 1827.<br /> <br /> Kenneth Lloyd Larson</font></font>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://ufomagazine.squarespace.com/letters/rss-comments-entry-1894264.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>From Der Voron</title><category>NASA</category><category>The Moon</category><dc:creator>Machine Elf (Lesley)</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 08:11:34 +0000</pubDate><link>http://ufomagazine.squarespace.com/letters/2008/6/5/from-der-voron.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">223920:2224662:1887356</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="thumbnail-image-float-left"><a href="http://ufomagazine.squarespace.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fpicture%2Fmoon.jpg%3FpictureId%3D1228840%26asGalleryImage%3Dtrue&imageTitle=2224070-1228840-thumbnail.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=4636,height=4544,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no');

The timing-- a year later almost to the week and the location and the straight line of the objects seen is most disturbing, but in extreme focus is that the objects trail the same distance away from the mainland usa in their formation... in the link you will see the first form of the doppler moisture is around the shapes of the ufos... the next image shows the clouds resulting from the ufos shape enlarging due to wind currents,,, the ufos of course might have still been there at the time for the images taken minutes later but i do not know this.&nbsp; good luck with presenting this info... i suggest you distribute it before you try  and release it on your website...for purposes of ensuring successful distribution please send email copies to friends etc and be sure to screen the file for viruses first... i have no problems in my system but being safe means you can assure your contacts the email copy you send them is safe to download.

July 4, 1947, Phoenix, Arizona.&nbsp;&nbsp; See book by Kenneth Arnold and Raymond Palmer, THE COMING OF THE SAUCERS, 1952.&nbsp;&nbsp; America celebrates its independence and liberty on July 4 with the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.&nbsp; Our Great Seal has the olive branch, pyramid, E Pluribus Unum, Eagle design,&nbsp; date of July 4, 1776 (see American one-dollar bill).&nbsp; America may be a unique nation and many great kinds of wisdom and knowledge might be coming forth from this great nation and the coming of the UFOs seems to be related to these events and knowledge and revelations, etc. In fact, Brian Williams of NBC TV News said in his broadcast of May 29, 2008, that some kind of intelligent spaceship may have landed on Mars during the May 25, 2008, landing&nbsp; so as to observe the Phoenix Mars Lander landing--and this might have been a huge UFO observing the Phoenix Mars Lander landing that was reported by Williams or two white objects on the surface and filmed by the circling American spacecraft over Mars.<br />  <br />  For some reason, the UFOs have displayed great interest in the United States of America. During May 2008, the world had 357 UFO sightings and 314 of these were in the United States.&nbsp; Indeed, one of the first American sightings and contact came in the early spring of 1820 near Palmyra, New York, when 14-year-old farm boy Joseph Smith said he looked up into the clear blue sky and saw a brilliant white object that descended and then&nbsp; illuminated the branches of the nearby trees in a wooded grove and then landed on the ground.&nbsp; In his recorded writings and journals and the journal of associate Orson Pratt, Joseph Smith said that he saw two brilliant personages that appeared before him who said they were of the Lord and had messages meant for him to receive.&nbsp; Besides his published accounts, Joseph Smith said he was visited again on each September 21-22, of the years from 1823 to 1827, and then recovered with his wife Emma from a burial spot on nearby Hill Cumoah a book of engraved metal gold plates concerning ancient America and its inhabitants.&nbsp; Smith translated the &quot;reformed Egyptian&quot; plates with an optical instrument called the Urim and Thummim and published the ancient records in Engish in A.D. 1830. <br />  <br />  Kenneth Larson<br />  Researcher<br /> </font></font>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://ufomagazine.squarespace.com/letters/rss-comments-entry-1887329.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
