Jim Oberg's "99 FAQs About Space UFO Videos"

[JimO]

Sorry to interrupt the wishful momentum and I know you want to move forward but I think it needs to be stated that some parts of the STS-48 video still remain unexplained.....

Agreed.

[JimO]

Can't we forget the tether and get to the UFO's?
Or did I miss that bit?

No, we can't, because the nature of the illumination field is crucial to the nature of the dots as well.

And I think we are coming to the agreement that the tether is glowing when it was in sunlight, with a disputed portion of the glow due to sun light and plasma glow, which I'm willing to leave at the under-discussion point.

So the DOTS are possibly sunlit objects as well.

Interesting video addresses the issue of the notch-clocking on the images, how they are dependent on where in the field of view the dot is. See if you agree with that assertion: 

[Sinny]

I think that all this is because the visibility of the tether is related to the visibility of the "UFOs".

But surely the UFO's are large (?)

I was under the impression reflection is only a minor angle regarding this footage. (?)

(Learning, impatiently  )

ETA: Just read Jims post. Light reflecting, or light emitting, what are you stating the UFO's are?

[JimO]

But surely the UFO's are large (?)
....

If the UFOs were as large as they LOOK -- passing behind a 12-mile tether almost a hundred miles away -- four days AFTER the initial break, the fair question is raised -- such objects would be immense in angular size [ full moon size or larger] and extremely bright as seen from Earth's surface.

But there's no apparent record of anyone on the ground anywhere reporting them. How could they have been missed by everyone on the planet?

That's why the time from break to video was important to determine, and the nature of the illumination.

What is the 'large-objects' theory that accounts for the swarm to NOT be visible from Earth itself? Presumably for days and days and days when millions of people around the world were going outside at dawn and dusk per NASA observation schedules to deliberately LOOK for the shuttle passing overhead?    And billions more were glancing at the sky randomly?

And if NOT for a long period -- say, only a very brief one during this video -- WHY then is THAT period the precise same small segment of the shuttle orbit [post sunrise pre terminator crossing] defined in my STS-48 report as the lighting conditions MOST likely to create bogus 'UFOs' from small nearby stuff, as on STS-48, 63, 80, 115, others -- all of whose 'UFOs' occurred in that SPECIAL illumination phase, only.

[Sinny]

Oh, so that's what this is all about.
Quite frankly Jim, UFO's and UAP's have a detailed history of only being mostly visible only via a recording device. How are 'spirit' orbs caught on camera whilst invisible to the human eye?
I'm no photographer either, but a series of logical questions will at least result in a logical explanation.
What does that camera pick up that the eye cannot?
How do we know our human perception isn't deliberately blocked?
Your previous explanation fails to unify all the other unnamed variables.
Therefore I believe you are incorrect it trying to state that you do know what these are, whereas the logical thing for you  to do would be to admit your speculations are inconclusive, in which case, this particular video, does in fact feature a swarm of UFO's. In order to determine further what these UFO's might be, I feel your eye's need to be willing to be opened to a larger historical context of this phenomena.

Presuming you want to explore this phenomena...

But there's no apparent record of anyone on the ground anywhere reporting them. How could they have been missed by everyone on the planet?

Jim says:  "no APPARENT record..."

Trevor James Constable first coined the term "CRITTERS" to describe these objects  And we are NOT talking about Jose Escamilla's rods... let's be glear on that point (Though I suppose Story's "Sanke" could be called a 'rod'

Trevor James Constable is a world-reknowned author and historian, who has produced 10 non-fiction books, many well known to afficionados of famous fighter aces. He also served 31 years at sea, 26 of them as a radio officer in the U.S. Merchant Marines.

His first book, "They Live In The Sky" in 1958, in which he advanced the shocking theory that UFOs were mainly invisible. He held also that our atmosphere was the home of huge, invisible living creatures, and that these were mutually confused with spacecraft when they became visible.


"They Live In The Sky" in 1958, Trevor James Constable

Sky Critters


UFOs are not at all extraterrestrial spacecraft but animals comparable to giant amoeba or "critters" that "are built of matter of the etheric plane" or "plasmatic" and live in the skies of our planets. This was first proposed as a mere possibility by Charles Fort, but Constable went further by claiming that he had photographed these "sky animals" - flying among the "usual" flying saucers - using infrared film, exposed between dawn and sunrise in high, in "dry locales" that "will frequently objectify invisible objects of various kinds living in and passing through the atmosphere."


This particular photo taken by Constable's daughter near a "cloud buster" orgone energy transmitter is an excellent example of the photographed "bioform" - or "sky fish" as Trevor calls them.

So while YOU may try to claim  "no APPARENT record..."  the internet has had the photos and stories since the 50's

Plasma UFO Over Burlington
Trevor James Constable
This UFO ShapeShifts!  Could it be Plasmic in Nature ..or...a 'Space Creature'?

SPACE CREATURE???

Trevor James Constable, noted military historian and engineer wrote a book titled ' Sky Creatures: Living UFOs.'  He claims that some..not all...are  giant aerospace organisms -

Wilhelm Reich, believed UFOs to be bio-energetic in nature.

Constable believed them to be as, "...amoebae like life forms existing in the plasma state. They are not solid, liquid, or gas. Rather. they exist in the fourth state of matter - plasma - as living heat-substance at the upper border of physical nature. They consist of calcium and fluids, the metal and the fluids both being in the plasmatic state.

...Normally hidden from us because they are in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, critters occasionally emerge into the visible portion of the spectrum... At such times they are invariably identified as UFOs - which they are, of course, although they are not constructed craft. They are living creatures. Failure to recognize this, and to distinguish creature from craft... has deeply confused UFO research.

As living organisms, critters appear to be an elemental branch of evolution probably older than most life on earth, dating from the time when the planet was more gaseous and plasmatic than solid. They are part of what occultists term 'elementals.' They live invisibly like fish in the ocean of atmosphere. Like fish, I estimate them to be of low intelligence. They will probably one day be better classified as belonging to the general field of macrobiology or even macrobacteria inhabiting the aerial ocean we call the sky."

Fortean investigators like Ivan T. Sanderson found the theory credible. Among other things, Constable believes these creatures are responsible for cattle mutilations and provides some case histories to support this. Researcher Larry Arnold believes that these plasmamoeboids--whom he dubs in gratitude to Mr. Constable with the scientific name Amoebae constablea-- emit energies that may be a cause of Spontaneous Human Combustion if they are in close proximity to a human being.

They apparently can be photographed even if invisible, through color movie or camera film used in conjunction with a Wratten 18A ultraviolet filter. Visible color photographs result despite the fact that the filter is nearly opaque, due to a "reverse spectrum" process whose explanation still escapes me.

Infrared film can also ferret them out and I must confess that one picture I took at night yielded a faint image of what seemed to be paramecium-like object over my neighborhood! Using this method, detecting critters is usually most successful at dusk and dawn.

A 1980 issue of FATE had a helpful article on this approach. For psychotronic film buffs, the documentary Overlords of the UFO contains footage of them hopping like jumping beans near power cables.

Ron,

You are perfectly welcome.  I don't believe in game playing.  At one point in my UFO "hunting" career I was given some information and asked to protect the individual because that person had worked for Area 51 for several years.  At the time they provided proof, stories matched, and Govt. workers kept appearing at the home to "check" up on the individual making sure he wasn't ready to disclose the wrong information.  I saw that for myself.  These folks just dropped by to chat like old co-workers but had an agenda.  It was obvious these people with badges were not there to have a friendly visit with a retired employee.

<Snipped not relevant portion>

Yes, I do believe at least 50% or greater of these recent sightings (past 15 yrs perhaps) are life forms of some kind.  I wish I could recall the paperwork on a case I had that involved an abduction where the individual never saw an entity such as the "Grays".  He felt the whole works of the craft was a living, breathing entity in itself.  Sightings now include so many balls of light that appear to be glass like on the outside with some sort of swirling living being on the inside.  This "Shape Shifting" going on is perhaps the workings of the plasma or whatever these beings are made up of as they enter our earth.

I have a fascinating photo - original- of a beam of light coming down from the sky to some ranch land.  Within the beam you can see a form that looks like an entity in fetal position waiting to step out of the light.  I am waiting to meet with a photo analyst who can enhance this so we can have a better look at what's going on.  Everyone who has been shown this picture sees the thing immediately.  I will share that with you at some point, if you are interested.  There are so many things going on.

Warm Wishes,  Denise Stoner

Ron: 

You may quote me on the statement regarding my thoughts on the plasma, critters, etc.  These are my thoughts and not those of MUFON.  One of the three questions MUFON asks as criteria to determine whether or not we have a Category 1 (Fly By), Cat. 2 (Landing), Cat. 3 (Entities involved) is: Did the Witness experience poltergeist, ghost or haunting activity, out of body experience or religious transformation.  It must tie in directly with a craft landing.  So, we are mixing these experiences with the angelic forces, plasma-like beings, and so forth.  Along the line someone - and I don't know who - has  discovered there are reasons to believe this is all related to the UFO phenomenon.  Or at the very least, it needs to be explored.

Thanks so much for sharing the info. on the critter birth.  I will take a look.

<Snipped not relevant portion>

Warm Wishes,  Denise Stoner

I can not call the Tether Incident..."case closed"...but am not yet up to speed to get into my "living critters" attracted to the Tether's escaping energy, nor the 'vacuum domain' theory, nor the living plasma..bla, bla..

The Z's STS-80 eg. is a killer alright & The search for MIR seg. is totally strange...& on & on..

So I am here to float some ideas & listen to all as the new guy who is not sure who thinks what & what others think re past discussions.

[zorgon]

And that's the knee-jerk eager-believer eyes-mind-closed-shut avoidance mantra for ANY explanation for Case-1: "Well, it doesn't explain Case-2!!"

No it's not. We all know that 95%ish of UFO reports are usually something explanable... so that leaves us the 5% of those that are NOT explained.  By focusing attention on cases that fall into the 95% range and ignoring those that fall it the 5% range... you are skewing the results

Skeptic tactics have always leaned towards focusing on the cases that they can easily debunk.... hoping no one calls them on the other ones...

Even ArMap is interested in the STS 80 critters

A FEW LEFTOVERS THAT can't BE EXPLAINED.

Come on Jim... it is those unexplained ones that all UFO hunters go after.  Allk we need is ONE to be a UFO

So lets get back to the STS80 storm CRITTERS

[The Matrix Traveller]

The confusion resulting in argument, involving Unidentified Arial Phenomena, being sometimes
of an alien origin or not is because, the technology involving such anomalies being observed,
is nothing at all like that, of human expectations, imagination or based on anything like primitive
human technology.

The human Primate is like a monkey in a zoo, trying to imagine what technology lays behind
the presentation of the experience experienced as though a huge universe.  LOL.



Hell the human species doesn't even know, the location of what he believes to be this universe,
or even where his conscious state is even viewing it from, and yet he is in complete denial
of the realisation, that the human primate is NOT the only Species playing within this little Universe.

The technology in some cases, is billions and billions of years ahead of the human species.

And they are not interested in the human species at all.

The human species suffers from attention disorders...

Hence the so called UFO dilemma, the need for religion, belief and the like etc. LOL.

To argue that the human species is the only intelligent species in the universe, is sheer Insanity.


The human Primate needs to get over itself !

Or more accurately get the human condition in its true context !

The Experience (Universe) is NOT based on, or founded on primitive human technology.

The experience of the off earth environment may be a little different (To be expected) but hell
the human primate doesn't even understand how its earth environment is being presented,
from/within the non dimensional environment Consciousness' is observing from.

Jack has caught some on video and they are available in AVI format. Below are some enhancements using various colors to highlight what he caught

Last night wasn't ideal conditions for viewing the Moon in my area but I captured a couple of dozen of these things in 33 different thirty-second clips. I'm compiling them into short AVI's for best results.Here's the first. I've included a few enhanced blow-ups from 3 different frames.

Some facts on the objects:

Some are captured in the daytime but most at night. They would have to be at a very high altitude to reflect the sunlight at night or be even higher and outside the atmosphere. On a few of the clips, I captured 2 and 3 of them in the same clip going in different directions. Winds are from the NW which is from right to left in the videos. Most are heading into the wind, some across the wind, assuming they are in the atmosphere. Out of all these captured last night, none are traveling with the winds direction. All of them seem to have the same general shape, almost boomerang like. None of these seem to have anything trailing behind them.

A friend was standing next to the scope with binoculars looking at the same time and I would signal him when I saw one on the screen. He never saw anything with or without the binoculars. We wanted to eliminate fluff in the air, pollen spores and any other low altitude flyers that can be seen with and without binoculars. And I can say we did that.

In this video like this first one, I cropped the time out that wasn't necessary and didn't add text or transitions to keep the file size down. And did three repeats of each segment.

THE CASE FOR THE CRITTERS
By Sander of  the Linden 

In the early morning of 25 augusts 1957 two men drew, provide with camera's, the Mohavewoestijn at loose Angelos in. Their aim was UFO's observe and these to film and photographs. One of the men, Trevor Howard Constable, a respected author of aviation books had been confessed and for its biography of Erich Hartmann, wereldberoemde pilot from WO I. Constable had touched interested in the work of scientist will helmet Reich and his discoveries in the field of bioenergy, by Reich 'orgone' energy called. According to Reich this energy is responsible for living on our planet and can with certain equipment be manipulated.

Reich discovered also that during proefnemingen with these equipment in free nature he did not stipulate earlier observed phenomena attracted, which he kept responsible for the ufo perceptions. According to Reich these phenomena life forms earlier not discovered were which lived in the higher layers of our atmosphere. Reich became among other things these statements and researches in the field of the orgone energy as a scientist no longer have been seriously taken. Later he touched in diskrediet and died eventually in the prison. Constable want gladly foto's make of these UFO's and the men stalks their equipment on.

Constable carried out a certain exercise, which aimed at joining energy on one spot the orgone and thereby UFO's to attract. After a couple Constable an enormous entity in the atmosphere perceived minutes above him, which he could however only feel. There was see nothing. To be comrade made rapidly a number of infraroodfoto's. After development of the film proved to be there in ventilates itself above Constable a giant being to be, which seemed most still on an enormous amoeba, completely with nucleï and vacuolen (to see foto's). In the first place were two disappointed because they had thought real flying of photographing dishes. After still what desert sessions appeared however that they were also able these fix dishes, with the traditional klokvorm, on infra-red film. With the naked eye however continued there, outside a vague rimpeling in the atmosphere, observe nothing. Constable thought long and hard after concerning its discoveries and did report of its perceptions in the book 'They live in the sky' (1958).

In this book Constable note that the entities live, biological beings are, which able are their eliminate presence in for our visible the part of the spectrum at discretion to or. Moreover they are able already pulsating with enormous speeds move itself. The fact that she comes be, however, on IR film visible because they radiate heat. Constable call them 'critters', which is to translate rather with 'beestjes'. The traditional dishes (by Constable 'etherships' called) are of another order. These use of a sophisticated propulsion system, which she puts able to accelerate with enormous speed and dealings to carry out. These etherships do not come belong from the universum but, just like the critters to our own planet, however from another dimension, which Constable 'Etheria' calls.

What they exact are not, can also to Constable answer. He states that they exist in their own levensfeer in a separate dimension. This dimension is everywhere present, also for our gone, but for human perception invisibly. Etheria the source and future of people are.

Of course a vast excursion made Constable American scientists, armed with its sharpest foto's and films. But beginning years '60 did not prove be there much basis for onontdekte biological entities in the atmosphere. Everyone had been aroused curiosity to the real flying dishes, such as Kenneth Arnold which had observed in '47 at Mount Reinier. Constable were laughed away, were ignored or were ridiculous made plain. This became a black period in its life. Later he notes down this in 'The Cosmic pulse or Life' (1976) with as subtitel 'The revolutionary biological power behind ufos'. In this book he looks back ietwat disconcerted on this time.

At this moment Trevor Howard Constable active is as a engineer, where he is using the orgone energy able influence it, and rain can let appear on spots where that necessary is (* Internet site).

To the critters. After the discovery of Constable it has been long quiet around these life forms. Much attention went out to UFO's as vehicles for intelligences originating from other planets, such as the Greys van Zeta Reticuli. Abductions, cattle injuries and close Encounters or the Third child have dominated the ufonieuws of the previous decades. Until American Tv-technicus from pure interest the livebeelden which was sent from the Spaceshuttle missions were sent. Using what special satellite dishes are these observe livebeelden for everyone. This technician touched curiously to these pictures because it was not whispered there in space travel rings concerning closer to call perceptions by American, and to what late appeared also Russian crew. Our technician filled tape after tape, and its impatience was shortly rewarded, because after thorough study of the liveopnamen, particularly of space walks, and attempts from the Spaceshuttle repair c.q launch satellites, became clear that there were two phenomena present around the Spaceshuttle, the Russian MIR, and in and around the atmosphere of the ground.

The first phenomenon is to a being that with regard to description strong seems on the critters of Constable. Luminous, pulsative and itself with enormous speed moving phenomena, which appeared moreover able for 'onmogelijke' dealings to carry out, such as haakse turnings and sudden invisibility. On some film pictures seems the space around the Spaceshuttle litteral forgive of swarming, all sides on moving lichtbollen, which gives clear proof of their presence, such as fish curiously descend on diepzeeduiker. Also there are the enormous amoebeachtige beings visible on some scenes, which by the outer edges of the atmosphere 'zwemmen'. The comment of the nasa during the retransmissions is that there 'veel ijsdeeltjes and space detritus (spacedebris)' being to see. Correctly yes. (To see: SECRET nasa TRANSMISSIONS: THE GRANT SMOKING)

The second phenomenon is a sudden, coloured lichtflits, which itself both outside the capsules as well as within the spacecrafts manifests itself. This lichtflits is hardly with the naked eye visible, but was clearly noticed astronauts, who it during the retransmissions nice concerning their 'companion' have. Ergo conclusio: there is much to the hand above our accounts.

To the critters. There are after Constable experiences have been confessed made much ufo perceptions which have in my opinion nothing to do with visitors of other planets, but all belong in the biological category done. In 1961, an Italian photographer made this photograph, on which bizar object with min-of-meer symmetrical projections. Being? Vehicle? See also the next photograph, on which is a flying dragon to see. And then next that a type sees flying jellyfish late, among beautiful cloud parties.

Itself possesses I an unique small film from the years '60, on which are from a plane filmed being to see. It seems still most on an enormous tortoise, with four legs/vinnen. however after a number of seconden there something happens strange: the legs seem join tightly itself to a type membrane, the being turns and within 2 up to 3 video frames from the visibility has totally disappeared. Also on the nasa films is high above the atmosphere flying 'kwallen' to see that appears suddenly and also suddenly disappears, or with inconceivable speed from picture accelerate.

Itself is I, after study of Constable's work (be first book 'They live in the sky' is unfortunately from the trade, 2e hands does copies zo'n € 500, -), the work of will helmet Reich and a large number of films and foto's reached the conclusion that he has it at the straight end. Constable still say themselves concerning its perceptions against ongelovige scientists: 'bind an infra-red camera under a plane and makes prerecordings in ochtenduren'. And 'iedereen is possible waarnemen' them;. In my optiek the work of Constable deserves a thorough realignment, where could open mind contribute livewaarnemingen and enormously to the knowledge of our own planet, its flora and fauna, but above all to the nevertheless this way uncomfortable problem of Ufo-waarnemingen.

THE CASE FOR THE CRITTERS

TRANSLATED FROM

Plasma Life Forms in Space



An international scientific team has discovered that under the right conditions, particles of inorganic dust can become organized into helical structures which can interact with each other in ways that are usually associated with organic life. Using a computer model of molecular dynamics, V N Tsytovich and his colleagues of the Russian Academy of Science showed that particles in plasma can undergo self-organization as electric charges become separated and the plasma becomes polarized in their paper entitled From Plasma Crystals and Helical Structures towards Inorganic Living Matter, published in the New Journal of Physics in August 2007.

Past studies, subject to Earth's gravity, have shown that if enough particles are injected into a low-temperature plasma, they will spontaneously organize into crystal-like structures or "plasma crystals". Tsytovich's computer simulations suggest that in the gravity-free environment of space, the plasma particles will bead together to form string-like filaments which will then twist into helical strands resembling DNA that are electrically charged and are attracted to each other.

The helical structures undergo changes that are normally associated with biological molecules, such as DNA and proteins, say the researchers. They can, for instance, divide to form copies of the original structure; which then interact to induce changes in their neighbors that evolve into other new structures. The less stable structures break down over time leaving behind only the structures that are most adapted to the environment. "These complex, self-organized plasma structures exhibit all the necessary properties to qualify them as candidates for inorganic living matter", says Tsytovich, "they are autonomous, they reproduce and they evolve".

He adds that the ionized conditions needed to form these helical structures are common in outer space. If that is so, then it will mean that plasma life forms are the most common life form in the universe, given that plasma makes up more than 99% of our universe which is almost everywhere ionized. This is in stark contrast to carbon-based life forms, which according to the Rare Earth hypothesis proposed by Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee, would be rare in the universe due to a number of factors – including the need for an acceptable range of temperatures to survive.

Plasma, on the other hand, is associated with high temperatures. Plasma life forms would be much more adapted to environments which would be considered hostile to carbon-based life forms. It is possible that plasma life forms were already present in the gas and materials that formed the Earth 4.6 billion years ago. Carbon-based biomolecular life forms only appeared 1 billion years later. Tsytovich and other scientists (including Lozneanu and Sanduloviciu, discussed below) have proposed that plasma life forms, in fact, spurred development of organic carbon-based life on Earth.

In this connection, Tsytovich pointed out that plasma life forms can develop under more down to Earth conditions such as at the point of a lightning strike. The researchers hint that perhaps a plasma form of life emerged on the primordial Earth which had a highly ionized atmosphere, which then acted as the template for the more familiar organic molecules we know today. A plasma bubble could form at the end of a lightning strike and act as a mould for chemicals to conform with to form a primitive biological cell.
