Another MUFON State Director retired from the Air Force after 22 years as a Lt. Colonel. We were discussing the stories of UFO encounter witnesses that were most credible for us. He said, It's when someone you know and have known comes to you with a story that is believable becuase it's anomalous and the credibility of the person has already been established by 100% of the other things they have told you over the course of a long relationship. For example, he said, I knew a non-commissioned officer who came to me one day scared shitless. He wanted to talk because he was afraid and didn't know where else to go. He had been to Groom Lake on assignment and encountered a 7-foot-tall alien there, working with the government. Addendum: I was interviewing a witness recalling an incident of many years ago north of Manitowac Wisconsin when he was a teenager (1960s or 70s - I'd have to look it up.) He and a teen friend were being driven by his father past the Cleveland swamp when they saw a luminous UFO land in the swamp. They went on to their destination (the next town) and when returning by the same road an hour or so later, saw a "7-foot-tall alien by the side of the road right near where we saw the UFO go into the swamp." We wanted to stop, he said, but my dad was too scared and stepped on it instead. Richard Thieme rthieme@lifeworks.com Fri, Aug 18, 1995 9:23 PM PDT

IS THE MOON THE CREATION OF INTELLIGENCE?
FROM THE EMINENT SOVIET JOURNAL: 'SPUTNIK'
IS THE MOON THE CREATION OF INTELLIGENCE?
by Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, scientists
Although people long ago began to wonder whether the "canals" on Mars were the creation of cosmic engineers, for some odd reason it has not occurred to look with the same eyes upon the peculiarities of the lunar landscape much closer at hand. And all the arguments about the possibilities of intelligent life existing on other celestial bodies have been confined to the idea that other civilisations must necessarily live on the surface of a planet, and that the interior as a habitat is out of the question.
Abandoning the traditional paths of "common sense", we have plunged into what may at first sight seem to be unbridled and irresponsible fantasy. But the more minutely we go into all the information gathered by man about the Moon, the more we are convinced that there is not a single fact to rule out our supposition. Not only that, but many things so far considered to be lunar enigmas are explainable in the light of this new hypothesis.
AN ARTIFICIAL SPUTNIK OF THE EARTH?
The origin of the Moon is one of the most complicated problems of cosmogony. So far there have been basically three hypotheses under discussion.
HYPOTHESIS I. The Moon was once a part of the Earth and broke away from it.
This has now been refuted by the evidence.
HYPOTHESIS II. The Moon was formed independently from the same cloud of dust and gas as the Earth, and immediately became the Earth's natural satellite.
But then why is there such a big difference between the specific gravity of the Moon (3.33 grammes per cubic centimetre) and that of the Earth (5.5 gr.)? Furthermore, according to the latest information (analysis of samples brought back by the U.S. Apollo astronauts) lunar rock is not of the same composition as the Earth's.
HYPOTHESIS III. The Moon came into being separately, and, moreover, far from the Earth (perhaps even outside the Solar system).
This would mean that the moon would not have to be fashioned from the same "clay" as our own planet. Sailing through the Universe, the Moon came into Earth's proximity, and by a complex interplay of forces of gravity was brought within a geocentric orbit, very close to circular. But a catch of this kind is virtually impossible.
In fact, scientists studying the origin of the Universe today have no acceptable theory to explain how the Earth-Moon system came into being.
OUR HYPOTHESIS: The Moon is an artificial Earth satellite put into orbit around the Earth by some intelligent beings unknown to ourselves.
We refuse to engage in speculation about who exactly staged this unique experiment, which only a highly developed civilisation was capable of.
A NOAH'S ARK?
If you are going to launch an artificial sputnik, then it is advisable to make it hollow. At the same time it would be naive to imagine that anyone capable of such a tremendous space project would be satisfied simply with some kind of giant empty trunk hurled into a near-Earth trajectory.
It is more likely that what we have here is a very ancient spaceship, the interior of which was filled with fuel for the engines, materials and appliances for repair work, navigation, instruments, observation equipment and all manner of machinery... in other words, everything necessary to enable this "caravelle of the Universe" to serve as a kind of Noah's Ark of intelligence, perhaps even as the home of a whole civilisation envisaging a prolonged (thousands of millions of years) existence and long wanderings through space (thousands of millions of miles).
Naturally, the hull of such a spaceship must be super-tough in order to stand up to the blows of meteorites and sharp fluctuations between extreme heat and extreme cold. Probably the shell is a double-layered affair--the basis a dense armouring of about 20 miles in thickness, and outside it some kind of more loosely packed covering (a thinner layer--averaging about three miles). In certain areas--where the lunar "seas" and "craters" are, the upper layer is quite thin, in some cases, non-existent.
Since the Moon's diameter is 2,162 miles, then looked at from our point of view it is a thin-walled sphere. And, understandably, not an empty one. There could be all kinds of materials and equipment on its inner surface. But the greatest proportion of the lunar mass is concentrated in the central part of the sphere, in its core, which has a diameter of 2,062 miles.
Thus the distance between the kernel and the shell of this nut is in the region of 30 miles. This space was doubtless filled with gases required for breathing, and for technological and other purposes.
With such an internal structure the Moon could have an average specific gravity if 3.3 grammes per cubic centimetre, which differs considerably from that of Earth (5.5 grammes per cubic centimetre).
A BATTLESHIP THEY COULDN'T TORPEDO?
The most numerous and interesting of the formations on the lunar surface are the craters. In diameter they vary considerably. Some are less that a yard across, while others are more than 120 miles (the biggest has a diameter of 148 miles). How does the Moon come to be so pockmarked?
There are two hypothesis--volcanic and meteoric. Most scientists vote for the latter.
Kirill Stanyukovich, a Soviet physicist, has written a whole series of works since 1937 in which he expounds the idea that the craters are the result of bombardment of the Moon for millions of years. And he really means bombardment, for even the smallest celestial body, when it is involved in one of those fastest head-on collisions so common in the cosmos behaves itself like a warhead charged with dynamite, or even an atomic warhead at times. Instant combustion takes place on impact, turning it into a dense cloud of incandescent gas, into plasma, and there is a very definite explosion.
According to Professor Stanykovich, a "missile" of a sizable character (say 6 miles in diameter) must, on collision with the Moon, penetrate to a depth equal to 4 or 5 times its own diameter (24-30 miles).
The surprising thing is that however big the meteorites may have been which have fallen on the Moon (some have been more than 60 miles in diameter), and however fast they must have been travelling (in some cases the combined speed was as much as 38 miles per second), the craters they have left behind are for some odd reason all about the same depth, 1.2-2 miles, although they vary tremendously in diameter.
Take that 148-mile diameter crater. In area it outdoes Hiroshima hundreds of times over. What a powerful explosion it must have been to send millions of tons of lunar rock fountaining over tens of miles! On the face of it, one would expect to find a very deep crater here, but nothing of the sort: there is three miles at the most between top and bottom levels, and one third of that is accounted for by the wall of rock thrown up around the crater like a toothed crown.
For such a big hole, it is too shallow. Furthermore, the bottom of the crater is convex, following the curve of the lunar surface. If you were to stand in the middle of the crater you would not even be able to see the soaring edge-- it would be beyond the horizon. A hollow that is more like a hill is a rather strange affair, perhaps.
Not really, if one assumes that when the meteorite strikes the outer covering of the moon, this plays the role of a buffer and the foreign body finds itself up against an impenetrable spherical barrier. Only slightly denting the 20-mile layer of armour plating, the explosion flings bits of its "coating" far and wide.
Bearing in mind that the Moon's defence coating is, according to our calculations, 2.5 miles thick, one sees that this is approximately the maximum depth of the craters.
A SPACESHIP COME TO GRIEF?
Now let us consider the chemical peculiarities of the lunar rock. Upon analysis, American scientists have found chromium, titanium and zirconium in it. These are all metals with refractory, mechanically strong and anti-corrosive properties. A combination of them all would have envitable resistance to heat and the ability to stand up to means of aggression, and could be used on Earth for linings for electrical furnaces.
If a material had to be devised to protect a giant artificial satellite from the unfavourable effects of temperature, from cosmic radiation and meteorite bombardment, the experts would probably have hit on precisely these metals. In that case it is not clear why lunar rock is such an extraordinarily poor heat conductor--a factor which so amazed the astronauts? Wasn't that what the designers of the super-sputnik of the Earth were after?
From the engineers point of view, this spaceship of ages long past which we call the Moon is superbly constructed. There may be a good reason for its extreme longevity. It is even possible that it predates our own planet. At any rate, some pieces of lunar rock have proved older than the oldest on Earth, although it is true, this applies to the age of the materials and not of the structure for which they were used. And from the number of craters on its surface, the Moon itself is no chicken.
It is, of course, difficult to say when it began to shine in the sky above the Earth, but on the basis of some preliminary estimates one might hazard a guess that it was around two thousand million years ago.
We do not, of course, imagine that the moon is still inhabited, and probably many of its automatic devices have stopped working, too. The stabilisers have ceased functioning and the poles have shifted. Even though the moon keeps that same side turned towards us, for some time it has been unsteady on its own axis, on occasion showing us part of its reverse side which were once invisible to observers on the Earth--for example, the Selenites themselves if they made expeditions here.
Time has taken its toll. Both body and rigging have disintegrated to some extent; some seams on the inner shell evidently diverged. We assume that the long (up to 940 miles) chains of small craters formerly ascribed to volcanic activity were brought about by eruptions of gas through cracks appearing in the armour plating as a result of accidents.
No doubt one of the most splendid features of the lunarscape--a straight "wall" nearly 500 yards high and over 60 miles long--formed as a result of one of the armour plates bending under the impact of celestial torpedoes and raising one of its straight, even edges.
The Moon's population presumeably took the necessary steps to remedy the effects of meteorite bombardment, for example, patching up rents in the outer shield covering the inner shell. For such purposes a substance from the lunar core was probably used, a kind a cement being made from it. After processing this would be piped to the surface sites where it was required.
Not long ago astronomers discovered variations in the gravitational fields near the large "seas". We believe the reason to be this: the Moon's dry seas are in fact areas from which the protective coating was torn from the armour cladding. To make good the damage to these vast tracts, the installation producing the repair substance would have had to be brought immediately beneath the site so that it could flood the area with is "cement". The resulting flat stretches are what look like seas to the terrestrial observer.
The stocks of materials and machinery for doing this are no doubt still where they were, and are sufficiently massive to give rise to these gravitational anomalies.
What is the Moon today? Is it a colossal necropolis, a "city of the dead," where some form of life became extinct? Is it a kind cosmic Flying Dutchman? A craft abandoned by its crew and controlled automatically? We do not know and we shall not try to guess.
WAITING FOR THE EVIDENCE
We have put forward in this article only a few of the reasons--unfortunately the evidence is so far only circumstantial--for our hypothesis, which at first glance may appear to be crazy.
A similar "crazy" idea was put forward in 1959 by Professor Iosif Shklovsky, an eminent scientist, in relation to the "moons" circling around Mars. After carefully weighing up the evidence he concludes that they are both hollow and therefore artificial satellites.
We feel that the questions we have raised in connection with our Moon provide sufficient food for serious thought on the matter; the result may be the illumination of our many lunar riddles.
Now, of course, we have to wait for direct evidence to support our idea. Or refute it.
Probably there will not be long to wait.

Tesla's electric car on the ether
The 1960s, aeronautical engineer named Derek Ahlers met Peter Sava and developed a long friendship with him. During their ten-year acquaintance, Savo Ahleru is often talked about his famous "uncle" by Nikola Tesla and his achievements in the 1930s. (Savo was the younger cousin of Nikola Tesla, and although he was not the real nephew usually called him "uncle").
1930th Nikola Tesla was asked his "nephew" Savu Petra to come to New York. Savo (born 1899, and thus 43 years younger than the Tesla) is served in the Austrian army and was a trained pilot, and gladly took the opportunity to leave Yugoslavia. He immigrated to America and settled in New York. In a series of interviews in 1967, Savo told about his interest in the story of Tesla's electric car.
During the summer of 1931, Tesla is called Sava River in Buffalo, New York, to publish and test a new type of car that Tesla has developed its own funds. Westinghouse Electric Company's and the Pierce Arrow Motor Car have developed the experimental electric car under the leadership of Tesla. Pierce-Arrow company was then owned and operated financial cap Studebaker Corporation, and used this stronger financial base for the introduction of many innovations. Between the 1928th and 1933, the company has come out with a new eight-cylinder models in the series and V-12 engine, the futuristic cars parlor Silver Arrow, the new styling and technical improvements. Consumers have responded to it, and selling cars Pierce-Arrow was further increased the company's share of all the narrower market of luxury cars 1930th With such a rush of confidence, "unrealistic" Projects like the Tesla electric cars were within a conceptual sphere. With the company's traditional blend of arrogance and naivete, everything seemed possible.
Thus, the test elected Pierce-Arrow Eight of 1931. with factory test polygon in Buffalo. Removed his internal combustion engine, a clutch, gearbox and transmission to the rear wheels were left intact. He stayed, and 12-volt battery, but it is connected to the transmission of electric motor of 80 horsepower snaga.Električni automobiles have traditionally had the engine on the DC, since it is the only current that the battery can be released. Could it be used for DC / AC converter, but the equipment at that time was too large to fit in the car.
Twilight of electric cars has been long overdue, but the Pierce-Arrow was not equipped with a simple DC motor. It was an electric AC motor designed for 1800 rpm. The engine was 102 cm long and had a diameter of 76 cm, was brushless air-cooled with the front fan and had a double cable, which was conducted under the dashboard, but it was not connected. Tesla would not reveal who manufactured an electric motor, but it is believed that it could be some of the departments of Westinghouse. At the rear of the car is built in 1.83-m long antenna.
Mr. Savo has fulfilled the request of his older cousin joined him. In New York they boarded the train to the northern part of New York. During the trip, the inventor did not want to talk in detail about the nature of the experiment. Upon arriving in Buffalo, went into a small car repair shop where they found a new Pierce-Arrow. Tesla opened the hood and adjust some things on an electric AC motor under it. Then they started to prepare Tesla equipment. In a nearby hotel room electrical genius has created a device. He brought 12 special vacuum tubes in a suitcase-like box. Savo said the tubes were "unusual shape", though they have been at least three identified as a rectifier tube 70L7-GT. They were connected to the device that was located in a housing measuring 61 x 30.5 x 15 cm. It was not anything more than short-wave radio station. It was in an electronic circuit with 12 vacuum tubes, wires and various resistors. Two rods of diameter 6 mm and length 7.6 cm clearly served as connectors for the motor cables.
When they came back to test the car, put the box on the already prepared a place under the dashboard on the passenger seat. Tesla has pushed the two contact rods and looked at the voltmeter. "Now we have power," was published, giving the keys to the ignition to his nephew. On the dashboard dials were additionally showed that the values that Tesla is not explained.
At the request of his uncle, Savo included motor. "The engine is now on the move," confirmed the Tesla. Savo did not hear any sound. Despite this, put it in gear, pressed the accelerator and took the car from the garage. Mr. Savo that day long driving this car without fuel, 80 kilometers at Buffalo and the nature around him. The speedometer calibrated to 192 km / h, Pierce-Arrow has achieved a top speed of 145 km / h, with the same quietness of the engine. While driving environment of the city, Tesla has become more relaxed and confident in the success of his invention. He began to open his nephew about his secrets. The device was able to supply vehicle power forever, but, moreover, was also able to satisfy the energy needs of a house - and with more than enough energy.
Although, according to Savini said, initially refrained from explaining the principle, Tesla was finally told that his only condition set for the "mysterious radiation which comes from the airwaves," and that "available in unlimited quantities." He added that "mankind should be very thankful for his existence." Over the next eight days, and Savo Tesla tested the Pierce-Arrow in the city and its surroundings, the snail speed to 145 km / h. Performance were the same as any of the then powerful car with more cylinders, including a 6-liter Pierceovu "Eight" of 125 horsepower.
Tesla said River to the receiver of energy will soon be used to run trains, ships, planes and cars. The inventor and his assistant finally drove the car a secret, predetermined location - at the end of an old barn farm house 32 kilometers from Buffalo. There they left the car, Tesla took the ignition key and a receiving device with you.
Enigmatic aspect of the story did not end there. Mr. Savo heard a rumor that the secretary spoke openly about the secret testing and was discharged because of indiscretions. This may explain the distorted stories about the tests that have appeared in some newspapers. Tesla was asked where it comes from energy, when it is obvious that the car has no battery. "The airwaves are everywhere around us," he replied hesitantly. Some people suggested that Tesla was mad and that is somehow associated with evil, occult powers. Such treatment in the media he was angry, so he finally picked up his mysterious box and returned to his laboratory in New York. Thus ended the short-term relationship with Tesla's inventions using the launch vehicle. "
Thus, the great genius had a solution but again the interests of capitalists and "market-able", gutted his invention
at the root, as many times before.
1930th Nikola Tesla was asked his "nephew" Savu Petra to come to New York. Savo (born 1899, and thus 43 years younger than the Tesla) is served in the Austrian army and was a trained pilot, and gladly took the opportunity to leave Yugoslavia. He immigrated to America and settled in New York. In a series of interviews in 1967, Savo told about his interest in the story of Tesla's electric car.
During the summer of 1931, Tesla is called Sava River in Buffalo, New York, to publish and test a new type of car that Tesla has developed its own funds. Westinghouse Electric Company's and the Pierce Arrow Motor Car have developed the experimental electric car under the leadership of Tesla. Pierce-Arrow company was then owned and operated financial cap Studebaker Corporation, and used this stronger financial base for the introduction of many innovations. Between the 1928th and 1933, the company has come out with a new eight-cylinder models in the series and V-12 engine, the futuristic cars parlor Silver Arrow, the new styling and technical improvements. Consumers have responded to it, and selling cars Pierce-Arrow was further increased the company's share of all the narrower market of luxury cars 1930th With such a rush of confidence, "unrealistic" Projects like the Tesla electric cars were within a conceptual sphere. With the company's traditional blend of arrogance and naivete, everything seemed possible.
Thus, the test elected Pierce-Arrow Eight of 1931. with factory test polygon in Buffalo. Removed his internal combustion engine, a clutch, gearbox and transmission to the rear wheels were left intact. He stayed, and 12-volt battery, but it is connected to the transmission of electric motor of 80 horsepower snaga.Električni automobiles have traditionally had the engine on the DC, since it is the only current that the battery can be released. Could it be used for DC / AC converter, but the equipment at that time was too large to fit in the car.
Twilight of electric cars has been long overdue, but the Pierce-Arrow was not equipped with a simple DC motor. It was an electric AC motor designed for 1800 rpm. The engine was 102 cm long and had a diameter of 76 cm, was brushless air-cooled with the front fan and had a double cable, which was conducted under the dashboard, but it was not connected. Tesla would not reveal who manufactured an electric motor, but it is believed that it could be some of the departments of Westinghouse. At the rear of the car is built in 1.83-m long antenna.
Mr. Savo has fulfilled the request of his older cousin joined him. In New York they boarded the train to the northern part of New York. During the trip, the inventor did not want to talk in detail about the nature of the experiment. Upon arriving in Buffalo, went into a small car repair shop where they found a new Pierce-Arrow. Tesla opened the hood and adjust some things on an electric AC motor under it. Then they started to prepare Tesla equipment. In a nearby hotel room electrical genius has created a device. He brought 12 special vacuum tubes in a suitcase-like box. Savo said the tubes were "unusual shape", though they have been at least three identified as a rectifier tube 70L7-GT. They were connected to the device that was located in a housing measuring 61 x 30.5 x 15 cm. It was not anything more than short-wave radio station. It was in an electronic circuit with 12 vacuum tubes, wires and various resistors. Two rods of diameter 6 mm and length 7.6 cm clearly served as connectors for the motor cables.
When they came back to test the car, put the box on the already prepared a place under the dashboard on the passenger seat. Tesla has pushed the two contact rods and looked at the voltmeter. "Now we have power," was published, giving the keys to the ignition to his nephew. On the dashboard dials were additionally showed that the values that Tesla is not explained.
At the request of his uncle, Savo included motor. "The engine is now on the move," confirmed the Tesla. Savo did not hear any sound. Despite this, put it in gear, pressed the accelerator and took the car from the garage. Mr. Savo that day long driving this car without fuel, 80 kilometers at Buffalo and the nature around him. The speedometer calibrated to 192 km / h, Pierce-Arrow has achieved a top speed of 145 km / h, with the same quietness of the engine. While driving environment of the city, Tesla has become more relaxed and confident in the success of his invention. He began to open his nephew about his secrets. The device was able to supply vehicle power forever, but, moreover, was also able to satisfy the energy needs of a house - and with more than enough energy.
Although, according to Savini said, initially refrained from explaining the principle, Tesla was finally told that his only condition set for the "mysterious radiation which comes from the airwaves," and that "available in unlimited quantities." He added that "mankind should be very thankful for his existence." Over the next eight days, and Savo Tesla tested the Pierce-Arrow in the city and its surroundings, the snail speed to 145 km / h. Performance were the same as any of the then powerful car with more cylinders, including a 6-liter Pierceovu "Eight" of 125 horsepower.
Tesla said River to the receiver of energy will soon be used to run trains, ships, planes and cars. The inventor and his assistant finally drove the car a secret, predetermined location - at the end of an old barn farm house 32 kilometers from Buffalo. There they left the car, Tesla took the ignition key and a receiving device with you.
Enigmatic aspect of the story did not end there. Mr. Savo heard a rumor that the secretary spoke openly about the secret testing and was discharged because of indiscretions. This may explain the distorted stories about the tests that have appeared in some newspapers. Tesla was asked where it comes from energy, when it is obvious that the car has no battery. "The airwaves are everywhere around us," he replied hesitantly. Some people suggested that Tesla was mad and that is somehow associated with evil, occult powers. Such treatment in the media he was angry, so he finally picked up his mysterious box and returned to his laboratory in New York. Thus ended the short-term relationship with Tesla's inventions using the launch vehicle. "
Thus, the great genius had a solution but again the interests of capitalists and "market-able", gutted his invention
at the root, as many times before.
