UFOs and aliens beings have often been portrayed in mass media, whether it be movies or television shows. Most of these appearances were however heavily edited and calculated by the American government in order to communicate a specific attitude towards this mysterious phenomenon. What is the purpose of these efforts? This article looks at the fascinating history of government involvement in UFO-related movies and television shows.
* * * * * * *
On 22 January 1958, the popular CBS television show Armstrong Circle Theatre presented an entire programme dedicated to the subject of unidentified flying objects entitled: "UFO: Enigma of the Skies." Among the high-profile experts invited to speak on the show, retired US Navy Major Donald Keyhoe - director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) - was notable for his outspoken views on government secrecy surrounding the UFO phenomenon. Arguing against UFO reality on the programme were astronomer and vehement UFO sceptic Donald Menzel and Air Force representative Col. Spencer Whedon of the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC). Their task should have been an easy one as the show's content had been scripted in advance by CBS in conjunction with the US Air Force, and all guests - especially Keyhoe - had been instructed to read their preapproved material from a teleprompter.
When it came time for Keyhoe to speak, in frustration he veered from his script and stated to the nation: "And now I'm going to reveal something that has never been disclosed before..." The rest of his announcement went unheard by television viewers: unbeknownst to Keyhoe, his microphone had been cut by the station. Keyhoe continued:
"For the last six months, we have been working with a congressional committee investigating official secrecy about UFOs. If all the evidence we have given this committee is made public in open hearings, it will absolutely prove that the UFOs are real machines under intelligent control."
After the show, CBS was inundated with calls and letters from viewers demanding to know why Keyhoe's audio had been cut: "Call it what you like," wrote one viewer, "but it appeared to be a very shocking display of censorship; and certainly offensive to the intelligence of the American public..." 3 Nine days later, CBS admitted it had been subject to official censorship....

Travis Walton: The Habit That Wasn't
Disconnect One:
By Joseph Capp
Sometimes the truth is thrashing in the go round.
Wednesday, November 5, 1975
Seven men running a "TREE-THINNING" contract (9 BEING IN SUBJECT MATTER) in Fold Springs, Arizona recurrent lodge from running late due to unappreciated to date a deadline, sight a UFO craft in a small valley in the forest.
They report to an allowed bearing in mind that they had spotted a UFO hanging display and a fellow labor, Travis Walton, ran towards the UFO nonetheless their warnings. He as a consequence was hit by a stream of light from the object. He was knocked bear witness to ten feet and lay limp.
Frightened, the netting six fled in the car. In the role of they returned bearing in mind, he was lost, so was the craft. They reported it to the police two hours bearing in mind. The police officers returned amongst them to the site and after a unequivocal search Travis was officially out of order as missing.
On Nov 10th, suspecting averse imitate, the business asked the 6 members of the group to stance polygraph exams. They certain. Five voted for the test; one was hesitant.
On Nov 11th, five being bearing in mind, Walton calls his brother-in-law at 12 midnight and begs him to select him up. In the role of he is found, he appears blatantly concerned. He starts babbling about spaceships and aliens.
The story gets picked up by the national press as a consequence the fine moves in including the UFO researchers.
"The Wary Inquirer" and its late truth machine; Phillip Klass weigh in on this "POOR STORY" by attacking the script of the 7 men and the evidence taking sides their story.
Debunkers' Concerns:
1. The before time man, Travis Walton, had a expunged inventory (APPROPRIATION) so Mr. No Klass mentioned the inventory in his book, but didn't give an estimate how he came by this fact. Of course, this have got to connect been a help to Walton's feel, such as he did get the confidence wiped off the inventory by performance what was might, but Klass didn't be a symbol of it that way in the book. Travis had exposed his new offence in the affix exploration after the UFO incident.
2. Mr. Klass had truthful data which indicated that self-possessed information had been withheld strategically by APRO (PROJECTION PHENOMENA SCAN COMMERCE) which was based in Tucson, Arizona. (TRAVIS WATSON FAILED HIS FIRST POLYGRAPH TEST ADMINISTERED BY AN BUFF AMONGST 10 BEING ASSERT, HIRED BY APRO).
3. Travis took a moment Polygraph test (TWO MONTHS BEARING IN MIND) and he voted for, but Klass strong out the examiners immediately had 2 being assert and was instructed what questions to ask.
4. The senses unmovable for the hoax by the debunkers and others is: Mike Rogers, controller of the subject matter for nine being," had repellently underestimated the amount of the job and possibly will not celebrated it on time" This would side-effect in board gripped up turnover hop unless he possibly will demonstrate an act of God -which this was.
The Walton dynasty are described as a "UFO FREAK DYNASTY" to the same extent they thought that UFOs were space ships from other worlds. Assured members of the dynasty had claimed to connect witnessed UFO craft. "I'M NOT SURPRISED," thought one associate, "I don't grasp he (TRAVIS) is on this earth. Duane, his brother, "THE PSYCHOPATH" thought "TRAVIS REQUEST BE FOUND; THE UFO'S ARE FRIENDLY" after he was questioned by the business might after the disappearance. Travis Walton admitted that his set off, who abandoned them, thought in UFOs. "Klass noted: "NO SUBSTANCE UTTERED BY DYNASTY" suitably they knew his disappearance was a lie and dynasty was daydream possible. And, yada, yada, yada...
By the way, basically a attention, under the escape of information act documents were de-classified to sign activity by UFOs in and surrounding the areas at that time:
"DOD, USAF, and CIA document confirm that at home October, November, and December of 1975, real military employees unthinkingly sighted way-out aerial objects in the district of nuclear-weapons keep up areas, aircraft decode areas and nuclear-missile control services at Loring Air Pray Story, Maine; Wurtsmith AFB Michigan; Malstrom AFB, Montana; Minot AFB, North Dakota..."

Bestow is no doubtfulness the press point this was a ample story - but never real. Listen to the shaggy dog story weaved by the "BACK HOME INQUIRER" journalist Jeff Wales - never a real sustain of the abduction story.
From the man who picked Wales up: "The brother has in a meeting superior and the brother is a number of create of... The kid is terrified to slapdash of him and so is our raconteur."
Jeff Wales, upon seeing Travis's brother for the first time reported "The cowboy (TRAVIS WATSON'S BROTHER DUANE) was no mortification. He was one of the meanest and toughest-looking men I've perpetually seen - in his late twenties, a rodeo familiar and amateur light-heavyweight fighter, a tally abstainer, well-built, T-shirt full amongst muscle, chiseled-down hips, bow legged, eyes total of nails, tense, uncomfortable."
"Not a hint is separation to chuckle at my brother," he told Wales.
Wales replied... "we would swathe them dated and pay the kid a majestic to tell his story"
"To our help the cowboy certain - but not, he thought, to the same extent of the payoff, to the same extent his brother had a authentic story to tell which would alert the world".
"Our first sight of the kid (TRAVIS) was at lunch in the stick dining room that night. It was a shock. He sat display stifle, easy, twitching sweetheart a cornered wild. He was either a great artist or he was in repugnant funk about everything".

At about 10pm that evening,the wife and I had just stepped out front of our house to let the dogs out when we heard the sound of a helicopter approaching from the east.When the sound from the helicopter grew increasingly louder,we quickly realized that it was flying extremely low over our moderately populated neighborhood.We rushed out to the driveway to witness a "blacked-out"(it did have its red and green tail lights on) military style helicopter in close pursuit of what can only be described as a small(maybe half the size of the helicopter),quiet,translucent craft with what appeared to be a dimly lit orange off-center light.We were able to see the edges of this "craft",and can best describe it as maybe teardrop in shape.In about 30 seconds time,we watched these two vehicles move in a straight line trajectory,from east to west, across the night sky and out of our line of sight.My immediate thought was that what we had just witnessed was clearly an extraterrestrial vehicle being chased/followed by a military aircraft.As I'm sure you can imagine, we were both in utter shock and amazement,and we've spent the last 24 hours scouring the news/internet for any info on this "event".So far,we haven't seen anyone else report this "event",but I can't imagine that we were the only one's to have witnessed this happen due to how low and loud this helicopter was.

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:
g STARS - A massive explosion in the deep reaches of space stemmed not from one dying star, as is typical, but from two dead ones that collided as the climax of a long orbital dance, new research shows. See article.
g ABODES - Currently, Mars appears to be completely hostile to life as we know it. New research, however, raises the possibility that volcanoes on Mars might not be extinct and if they were to erupt they could dramatically alter the Martian climate. They might even make the planet warmer and more hospitable. See article.
g LIFE - "Astrobiology has to do with how life interacts with planets, moons, and other bodies in our cosmos," says Dr. Barry Blumberg, director of NASA's Astrobiology Institute. Blumberg says there may be life on these planets that is similar to what we find on earth. "The notion is that if we understand it on earth, it will help us to identify life on other planets." See article. Note: This article is from 2002.
g MESSAGE - A "portrait of humanity" recently was taken by Simon Bell, a photographer from Toronto. It is half of a stereo pair, two images that when properly focused together, reveal the scene's third dimension. The photograph was envisioned as part of a message for the Cassini mission to Saturn and its moon Titan, launched in late 1997. It would have been an artifact in the tradition of the Voyager Record and the "Visions of Mars" CD ROM. Unlike the Voyager Record it was not intended to leave the solar system to be found by the crew of an advanced starship. Unlike Visions it was not for humans in the next few centuries. Its fate would have been to remain on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan, waiting for eons of time against the slim chance that life might someday appear on that strange world, or that some other space traveler might visit Titan and find it. The image, inscribed on a diamond wafer about the size of a coin, was intended to show an intelligent alien on Titan viewer a little about our bodies, about our relationships with each other, and about our planet. See article.
g COSMICUS - Scientists are using data from a powerful mineral-mapping camera in order to select a landing site for NASA's next Mars rover mission. The rover, dubbed the Mars Science Laboratory, will assess whether or not Mars ever had an environment capable of supporting life. See article.
g LEARNING - Wish I could have been a student in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Monday: Livingston Holder Jr., who trained extensively to fly in the space shuttle but never got the chance to go to space when his mission was canceled in the wake of the Challenger disaster in January 1986, spoke in several schools. See article.

UFO SIGHTING IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA ON JULY 28TH 2013 - BRIGHT STAR IN UNUSUAL LOCATION
We were sitting on my deck with the family when my youngest daughter said to look at the star. It took my wife and I a moment to find it since it was so low on the horizon from my vantage point. We looked at the star for a moment and I grabbed my binoculars,and observed it. The star appeared "normal" but in a weird location. My oldest daughter said that she was making a wish on her star. I continued to look at the "star" for a few minutes when it appeared to collapse in on itself and dissapear. I then turned to my wife, and said that was weird. She looked up and confirmed the object was gone. MY oldest daughter said that as soon as she made a wish it dissapeared. I then grabbed my binoculars and searched for the object. I could not find the star, but for a brief moment I observed 3 red lights in a verticle row. I put the binocs down, and told my wife what I saw. I tried to find it again, but it was gone. The red lights were not visible to the naked eye. In the previous nights since no star has been visible in that location. This has left me with a very uneasy feeling especially that night. I am familiar with aircraft since we live on the approach /departure route for PIT. I have pilot experience as well. There were no clouds or other weather issues that night. It was a clear evening with plenty of light.

" I know what your thinking, the line "THE UNIVERSE IS MOSTLY EMPTY!" I got from the documentary "WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?", however it had a huge impact on me.. Basically what it is saying is all life is made up of atoms and what atoms are made of is empty space and a small amount amount of energy moving in and out.. So what does this mean to us and the occult nature of the world..? "IT MEANS UNDERSTANDING THE ENERGY IS A KEY COMPONENT TO UNDERSTANDING THE OCCULT" THE UNIVERSE IS MOSTLY EMPTY AND SO ARE WE..! The theory, well more so a fact that everything is actually empty, made up of space and energy, confirms the theory of energy being the sole principle that is life.. No matter what the object is whether it be a table or chair or us they are all just different vibrations of energy (ATOMS), but not dense like we have always assumed. If it was not for atoms reacting against each other like a magnetic charge we would all pass through whatever object we bumped up against, in fact if atoms did not make a magnetic charge pushing itself away from objects we would literally pass through the earth.. "THE CLOSEST THING THE ENERGY WITHIN AN ATOM IS LIKE IS MORE LIKE A THOUGHT.. COULD ALL ENERGY (ATOMS) be just thoughts..?" "I HOPE THAT GOT YOU THINKING..!"
