Out of the Blue in NYC - Restunbehagen wegen UFOs bleibt - It´s The Magic Fly

Zur Tageseinstimmung erst einmal wieder ´Unsolved Mysteries´, heute mit ´Interceptors´ - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WBc... - und ´Missing Time´: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zI5... - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQUZ... - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkN0... .

Dienstag, der 11.März 2008. Out of the Blue-UFOs über New York City: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z1P... . Weitere TV-Nachrichten in Sachen OVNIS in Costa Rica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCG5... .

Ansonsten gibt es Gedrängel im All, wenn es heißt: Weltraum mit Aussicht. Am Montag startete* der europäische Automatik-Raumfrachter ´Jules Verne´ als ATV an der Spitze der Ariane-5 in Französisch-Guayana, um später der ISS als Weltraumfrachter dienlich sein zu können. Der Transporter soll am 3. April an die ISS andocken, die Astronauten mit Nahrungsmitteln, Wasser und Ausrüstung versorgen und sechs Monate lang mit der Raumstation verbunden bleiben. "Jules Verne" wird mit seinen Triebwerken die Raumstation auf eine höhere Umlaufbahn führen, da die ISS ständig etwas an Höhe verliert. Das zehn Meter lange und 20 Tonnen schwere Schiff soll auch als Stauraum und schließlich als "Mülleimer" der ISS dienen. Am Ende wird es in der Atmosphäre verglühen. Die US-Weltraumbehörde Nasa begann unterdessen mit dem Countdown für den nächsten Start einer Raumfähre. Die "Endeavour" ging als Mission STS-123 an diesem Dienstag mit sieben Astronauten bei einem wunderschönen Nachtstart** zur ISS hoch und soll 16 Tage im All bleiben. Die "Endeavour" wird den ersten Teil des japanischen Weltraumlabors "Kibo" und einen kanadischen Roboter zur Raumstation bringen.

Echter Dank allen ´Raumfahrern´, die uns Dank ihrer Privat-Aufnahmen entlang der ´Space Coast´ mal wieder daran teilnehmen ließen und Sequenzen lieferten, die man einfach so im TV nicht zu sehen bekommt! Warum auch immer...

Ich weiß ja nicht, wie es Ihnen so im allgemeinen geht, wenn Sie sich mit dem UFO-Thema beschäftigen. Mir bleibt auf jeden Fall oftmals eine Portion Restunhagen übrig, einfach wegen dem SF-Alien-UFO-Anteil, den wir Menschen reinpumpen, um das Thema überhaupt ´zeitwürdig´ im Rahmen von ´Abenteuer und Phantastisk´ zu halten. Ohne den Ruch um die ´Fliegenden Untertasssen´ wäre die UFO-Geschichte einfach nicht wirklich was Wert. Ohne die von uns Menschen zurechtgedrehte ´Akte X´-Aura wäre das UFO-Thema in der Gegenwart stinklangweilig! Und ohne die Götter-Astronauten wäre die Prä-Astronautik überhaupt nie zum Zug gekommen, weil eben ohne dieses blendende ´Extra´ das Thema auch niemand hinter dem Ofen hervorgelockt hätte.

An diesem Tag meldete sich übrigens ein Redakteuer von BILD in Hamburg, weil jener gerade einer UFO-Meldung vom Samstagabend aus der Nähe von Elmshorn nachging, als da drei orange-rote Lichkugeln durch die Dunkelheit geschwebt waren. Für den Mann war das eine ganz aufregende Geschichte, für mich hingegeben der ´Normalfall´. Er wolle unbedingt die Aufklärung des Geschehens bringen. Der glaubt wohl auch an den Osterhasen...

UFOs in England

Die ´Islington Gazette´ ( http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/c... ) berichtete unter der Headline "MoD inquiry into Archway UFO mystery":

>The Ministry of Defence opened a file on the Archway UFO spottings - but decided against further inquiries as it did not deem the sighting a threat to national security. Just over a year ago Archway ground to a halt as dozens of glowing lights were seen in the sky, causing widespread panic among residents. Now the Gazette can reveal that top level government agencies looked into the phenomenon - which many believe was nothing more than floating Chinese lanterns ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laC_... ). The Gazette sent a Freedom of Information request to the Ministry demanding to see every document relating to the Archway incident, as well as a total cost of the investigation. The MoD did not disclose the cost of its inquiries, but did release what it said was the only document relating to the phenomena they hold on file.

It is from an organisation called Contact International which reports seeing "12 to 15 orange balls of light that moved quickly, stopped, faded away or moved upwards". Names and contact details have been blanked out by the Ministry. In response to our inquiries, a government official wrote: "The Ministry of Defence examines any reports of ´unidentified flying objects´ to establish whether what was seen might have defence significance - namely whether the United Kingdom´s airspace might have been compromised. To date no report has revealed such evidence. We believe that rational explanations such as aircraft lights could be found." James Zafar, 40, a designer from Crouch End, saw the lights when collecting his daughter from Archway. He said: "It was worth them investigating because it was really weird. I know in my gut whatever we saw was not balloons. It just seems crazy they are not looking into it further. It could have been a potential threat from another country or anywhere." And Paul Southcott, of the Islington-based UFO and Supernatural Studies Group, said: "I am not surprised they looked into it - it is their job to investigate these things. They have probably looked into it more deeply but the likes of us will never know. I think it is a load of rubbish that they only have one document on it, there would definitely be more than that." He added: "We come up against brick walls like this the whole time when investigating UFOs - it is very frustrating."

But not all were so convinced. Writer and UFO sceptic Ian Ridpath said: "It seems to me fairly obvious they were balloons. Last summer I saw some of these balloons drift across the sky and I recognised them immediately from all the Archway videos. It is quite remarkable that even though someone admitted they had set them off from a party people who saw it still believe it was something else. They won´t accept it because it would make them feel a bit silly."

"Bad Timing For MoD" war die Headline bei der ´The Sarasota Herald Tribune´ ( http://www.heraldtribune.com/articl... ) und dazu schrieb sie nieder:

>The British Ministry of Defence has just given The History Channel´s UFO Hunters the sort of publicity windfall that money just can´t buy. On Feb. 25, just two days before the network aired an episode on the Rendlesham Forest incident, the MoD announced it was yanking related documents off its Web site. Its press office cited "breach of copyright" laws pertaining to public correspondences bundled into the military data, arguing that "it made little sense" to delete those letters while trying to uphold their context. The MoD reassured inquiring minds that said documents - letters and all - could still be obtained through individual Freedom of Information Act requests. The announcement was disseminated to the rest of the world largely through Nick Pope, an ex-MoD official who worked the Ministry´s UFO desk from 1991-94. Given how long those suddenly withdrawn documents had languished in the public domain - not to mention the banality of the accompanying letters that so recently raised the eyebrows of the UK´s legal eagles - Pope found the sudden move perplexing.

"MOD is its own worst enemy sometimes," Pope stated in an e-mail. "(It has) managed to turn a potential good news story about open government and freedom of information into a bad news story about cover-ups and conspiracies." Indeed, unlike the U.S., which insults common sense by insisting it doesn´t collect UFO data, the Brits at least pay lip service to the notion by logging queries from its citizens who want to report sightings. Certainly, keeping official links open removes the stigma from British pilots like Ray Bowyer who, without fear of negative professional repercussions, felt free to discuss the "mile wide" UFO he and others spotted over the English Channel last April. No such openness exists among active-duty American pilots. The Rendlesham Forest incident occurred in late December 1980, when U.S. military security working the UK´s NATO base outside Woodbridge investigated nightime sightings in the woods nearby. Several Americans reported seeing a UFO on the ground, as well measuring its attendant landing-gear indentations in the soil as well as residual traces of radation.

It´s an old case revisited numerous times, from Unsolved Mysteries to Larry King. But UFO Hunters would be derelict if it didn´t exploit the MoD´s recent maneuver, even if the issue is more about timing than intention. Meanwhile, back in the UK, Pope says readers who might not have otherwise been inclined to review those documents online are still free to do so, thanks to some real crackerjack quality control. "MoD haven´t even blocked access properly anyway," he writes.<
