			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.meetstheweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Earthrise_cutout.jpg" alt="Earthrise_cutout.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 144px; width: 645px; float:center; margin-bottom:5px;" />We&#8217;ve all seen the posts in forums, twitter, and on blogs proclaiming that government is about to announce the existence of extraterrestrial life. I usually glance through them, take a moment to think about how cool it would be and move on. I just have never thought that the government would ever risk the fallout from such a world changing announcement. Lately though, I have <a href="http://www.getxnews.com/2009/10/official-disclosure-of-extraterrestrial-life-is-imminent/" target="_Blank">heard more</a> <a href="http://www.ufo-blogger.com/2009/06/world-wide-disclosure-movement-will-be.html" target="_Blank">and more talk</a> <a href="http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2009/01/ufo-disclosure-predicted-during-obamas.html" target="_Blank">about disclosure happening</a> sooner rather than later. In fact there is talk that the government might finally be ready to tell us the truth <em>this year</em> and I am starting to think that it may be a strong possibility.</p>
<p><span id="more-164"></span><img src="http://www.meetstheweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/DownGraph.png" alt="DownGraph.png" style="border: 0px; height: 160px; width: 160px; float: right;margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom:5px;" />With the world&#8217;s economy in shambles, the economic risks involved with announcing the existence of extraterrestrial life are practically nonexistent. I personally think that the injection of alien technology into the world marketplace would help the economy more than any panic caused by the announcement could hurt it. Earth could even become a tourist destination for extraterrestrials, reinvigorating the travel and hospitality industry. Economically it makes perfect sense to open up about alien visitation.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.meetstheweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/newMoon.jpg" alt="newMoon.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 184px; width: 250px; float:left; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom:5px;" />The sudden availability of extraterrestrial technology would easily explain  NASA&#8217;s decision to <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/08/11/nasa.orion/index.html" target="_Blank">mothball the space shuttle program</a> without publicly having a replacement at the ready. If the US government announces the existence of alien life either this year or the beginning of 2010, NASA would be in the perfect position to retire the space shuttle as planed and begin using and learning from alien craft while we develop our own version of the technology. Additionally, <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1265.html"  target="_Blank">we have seen the new vehicles being developed by NASA for use on other planets</a>, but we still haven&#8217;t been shown in near as much detail on how they plan on getting that equipment to the moon and beyond. Could this be because the real plan is to use technology supplied by our new alien allies?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.meetstheweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/obama_portrait_146px.jpg" alt="obama_portrait_146px.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 199px; width: 146px; float: right;margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom:5px;" />Finally, and most importantly, the Obama administration is not reliant on the support of any fundamentalist religious groups that might try the use their influence to prevent any scientific advancements that would threaten their world view (as they have in the not to distant past). Unlike the Bush administration that was catapulted to power partly by the unquestioning support of the religious right, Obama rose through the support from a group that stretched across socioeconomic and religious borders. This means that even if certain groups oppose the idea of extraterrestrial life, the current administration will still have the support it needs to govern effectively.</p>
<p>It would seem that we are facing a perfect storm that makes disclosure not only possible, but virtually necessary. An injection of alien technology and funds could have a lasting positive effect on the economy, reversing a downturn that for which no real solutions exist. NASA&#8217;s plan to end the space shuttle program before a replacement is available seems ludicrous, unless the actual plan is to use an extraterrestrially sourced replacement. The US even has an administration that could survive the fall out of turning the religious world on its head. I think we are on the cusp of a very exciting time in human history, what do you think?</p>

photo by <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/flippism/">Professor Batty</a></span>The other night I noticed a cat sitting watching me from across the street as I left a friends house. This seemingly innocuous event got me thinking. If I wanted to closely observe humanity unnoticed, but remain mobile how would I disguise my cameras/probes (or possibly myself)? The answer to that questions was staring me in the face, swishing its tail side to side. Feral cats are everywhere and almost no one notices them, making them the perfect disguise for a research probe.</p>
<p>First, from a physical standpoint cats are an ideal base to build an observation platform around. Their near supernatural agility means that the probe can be given the speed and maneuverability needed to evade capture without looking suspicious. A cat&#8217;s size would also allow ample room for the equipment needed on a remote probe (especially if using advanced alien technology). The probe&#8217;s power system could even be based on or supplemented by a bacteria based biologic power generation system that lets the probe &#8220;feed&#8221; on pet food left out for outdoor animals. In addition cats are omnipresent and largely look the same regardless of where in the world you go, meaning one probe could be used virtually anywhere on Earth without drawing any attention to itself.</p>
<p><span id="more-39"></span><br />
Which leads me to what is largely the most important reason why cats would make the perfect camouflage for a a probe. Feral cat&#8217;s are (unfortunately) largely ignored by the population at large. Just try to think of the last time you looked at a stray cat with anything more than a passing glance. This apathetic acceptance of the feral cat population means an alien probe could move unnoticed through humanity, quietly observing us from incredibly close range. By being disguised as a cat, the probe could even travel well beyond the outer perimeter of even the most vigilantly guarded facility. Animal lovers on the facilities staff may even make the cat-probe an unofficial mascot, feeding and providing shelter for it. Unknowingly giving the remote observer unprecedented access with out raising a single red flag.</p>
<p>While this is all theory and conjecture with no evidence to prove the existence of extraterrestrial cat-probes, it does seem logical that a visitor with the technology to travel vast distances though space and a desire to remain undetected would make use of camouflaged remote probes to study our planet. Although in a much more primitive manor, it is what we do when we want to find game trails or check that the babysitter is taking good care of our children. Just as the hunter would select a game camera that would blend into the woods or a concerned parent would pick a hidden camera that looked at home in their child&#8217;s room, an extraterrestrial observer would use a probe that blends in nearly every inhabited area of the planet. Agile, omnipresent and virtually invisible, the a stray cat fits this bill perfectly. I know the next time I see a stray, I will wonder if I am being watched by a simple Earth cat or something a little more out of this world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.meetstheweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/skycapwot.jpg" alt="skycapwot.jpg" style="margin: 3px; float: left" />As much as the US Military would like us to think that <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/01/14/ufo.sightings.ap/">what the town of Stephenville saw</a> was nothing more than a military training mission with common everyday fighter jets, there is no denying that there was something out of the ordinary in the sky that night. Today I came across an article in the <a href="http://www.empiretribune.com/articles/2008/02/03/news/news02.txt">Stephenville Empire-Tribune</a> that got me thinking that whatever was over Stephenville is from a little closer to home than many people may be considering.</p>
<p>The article is about Stephenville resident Ricky Sorrells, who was allegedly threatened by the US Military if he didn&#8217;t stop talking about what he saw. While Sorrells&#8217;s story of government intimidation is week on verifiable details (though the thought of being harassed by the government is scary enough that I wish him the best of luck), there is one little pearl hidden in the article that is definitely worth exploring (and I think many people are overlooking). Sorrells claims to have seen the craft that flew over Stephenville on 4 different occasions and he describes the craft as being 3 to 4 football fields in length. While not incredibly descriptive in the least, it did get me thinking about a potential terrestrial source of the craft that if true would be straight out of science fiction. In the movie &#8220;Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow&#8221; (coincidentally a very good movie if you haven&#8217;t seen it), the heros land on massive aircraft that serves as an aircraft carrier/air base. I wondered, could the Air Force be developing a similar platform?</p>
<p><span id="more-19"></span><br />
<img src="http://www.meetstheweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/h43901.jpg" alt="h43901.jpg" style="margin: 3px; float: right" />This could be an excellent explanation for what the residents of Stephenville saw. In-fact, the concept of a flying aircraft carrier is <a href="http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2006/october18/macon-101806.html">not a new idea to the US Military</a>. In the 1930&#8242;s the US Navy commissioned Goodyear to build two 785 feet long zeppelins, the USS Macon and USS Akron, that would carry 5 single seat Sparrowhawk biplanes that it would launch and retrieve using a trapeze-like system. The program was abandoned after both airships were lost to bad weather. This would not be the first time that the US military has secretly revisited a previously abandoned project. The B-2 Spirit bomber is a direct descendant of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_wing">Northrop YB-49 flying wing</a> which was abandoned in the 1950&#8242;s because of problems controlling the aircraft (modern computers make the B-2s flight a reality). This theory even explains the presence of the F-16s reported by witnesses (and initially denied by the military). I would imagine that a flying aircraft carrier would be escorted by quite a few fighter jets, just as a sea-going aircraft carrier is accompanied by a flotilla of support ships and fighter escort.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, if the US Military is re-developing flying aircraft carriers, I doubt that we will find out for sure for many years. It does seem to fit though. The government has already brought projects out of mothballs once the technology catches up to their designers vision. Military aircraft are often reported as UFOs (a 1982 incident in Dayton, Ohio a reported UFO is believed by many to actually have been the newly developed Harrier Jump Jet &#8211; a plane that moves like no plane anyone had seen before). All we know for sure, is that there was something over Stephenville and the government doesn&#8217;t want us to know about it (at least for now &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait to go to an air show that has one of these babies).</p>
