UFOs

[Aaron]

UFO discussion - what about flying saucers or other craft from extra terrestrial origins? I'm sure some governments of the world have the capability for anti-gravity flight and other transportation methods but I wouldn't be surprised if we are visited by outsiders from our place and/or time.

I have witnessed about a dozen flying objects that violate the so-called laws of physics. I have seen a large something fly over my house when I was in 5th or 6th grade. It was up about 10 stories high and was moving from North to South. It was about the size of several 747 airplanes and was moving very, very slow like 10-15 miles per hour. I was mesmerized by this as I looked out my window. I was awakened by a low vibration hum. The next night at the local airport, there were many sightings of smaller "ufo's" and even made it to the paper.

Almost all the others have been metallic looking spheres. Perfectlly round and just floating in the sky not even moving. Then suddenly, just blinked out and disappeared.

I've seen other but I have never forgot about seeing these.

Here is a fairly new movie about UFO's:

I think there were a lot of TRV-ing done on this topic and ofcourse the crop circles. Crop cirlces are a way to comunicate between different alien races and some kind of guiding system. Tibetan monks said alien race will save Earth and they are interacting with us on regular basis. You can check Psi Tech - Matrix website for more info.

I havent seen any UFOs, I guess Slovenia is just not interesting to them.

Neural Network FAQ, part 1 of 7: Introduction
Subject: What is a neural network (NN)?

First of all, when we are talking about a neural network, we should more properly say "artificial neural network" (ANN), because that is what we mean most of the time in comp.ai.neural-nets. Biological neural networks are much more complicated than the mathematical models we use for ANNs. But it is customary to be lazy and drop the "A" or the "artificial".

There is no universally accepted definition of an NN. But perhaps most people in the field would agree that an NN is a network of many simple processors ("units"), each possibly having a small amount of local memory. The units are connected by communication channels ("connections") which usually carry numeric (as opposed to symbolic) data, encoded by any of various means. The units operate only on their local data and on the inputs they receive via the connections. The restriction to local operations is often relaxed during training.


Some NNs are models of biological neural networks and some are not, but historically, much of the inspiration for the field of NNs came from the desire to produce artificial systems capable of sophisticated, perhaps "intelligent", computations similar to those that the human brain routinely performs, and thereby possibly to enhance our understanding of the human brain.


Most NNs have some sort of "training" rule whereby the weights of connections are adjusted on the basis of data. In other words, NNs "learn" from examples (as children learn to recognize dogs from examples of dogs) and exhibit some capability for generalization beyond the training data.


NNs normally have great potential for parallelism, since the computations of the components are largely independent of each other. Some people regard massive parallelism and high connectivity to be defining characteristics of NNs, but such requirements rule out various simple models, such as simple linear regression (a minimal feedforward net with only two units plus bias), which are usefully regarded as special cases of NNs.


Here is a sampling of definitions from the books on the FAQ maintainer's shelf. None will please everyone. Perhaps for that reason many NN textbooks do not explicitly define neural networks.


According to the DARPA Neural Network Study (1988, AFCEA International Press, p. 60):

... a neural network is a system composed of many simple processing elements operating in parallel whose function is determined by network structure, connection strengths, and the processing performed at computing elements or nodes.

According to Haykin, S. (1994), Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Foundation, NY: Macmillan, p. 2:

A neural network is a massively parallel distributed processor that has a natural propensity for storing experiential knowledge and making it available for use. It resembles the brain in two respects:

1. Knowledge is acquired by the network through a learning process.
2. Interneuron connection strengths known as synaptic weights are used to store the knowledge.

According to Nigrin, A. (1993), Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition, Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, p. 11:

A neural network is a circuit composed of a very large number of simple processing elements that are neurally based. Each element operates only on local information. Furthermore each element operates asynchronously; thus there is no overall system clock.

According to Zurada, J.M. (1992), Introduction To Artificial Neural Systems, Boston: PWS Publishing Company, p. xv:

Artificial neural systems, or neural networks, are physical cellular systems which can acquire, store, and utilize experiential knowledge.

UFO movie

Aaron,

Thanks for posting the link to that movie. It was very fascinating. At times I felt it was a bit conspiracy theory-esque. Especially when the interviewees kept referring to "them" - as in the people controlling things, without any reference to who "them" is. I wonder if the interviewees believe "them" are the people controlling oil and gas and our current energy supply?

I did find the geographical shapes found on Mars REALLY cool! I have wondered if that sort of thing was present, especially since they released data of dna being found on Mars.

And another thing I'd never thought about - they are right! We haven't been back to the moon!!!! Why on earth not go back????? Hmmmmm....

The Disclosure Project

The Disclosure Project is a nonprofit research project working to fully disclose the facts about UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence, and classified advanced energy and propulsion systems. We have over 400 government, military, and intelligence community witnesses testifying to their direct, personal, first hand experience with UFOs, ETs, ET technology, and the cover-up that keeps this information secret.

Secret NASA Transmissions: Smoking Gun

Martin (Martyn) Stubbs is a former cable TV station manager from Vancouver in Canada who, over a period of five years, used his stations satellite array to record 2,500 hours of space shuttle transmissions via NASAs downlink. Since March 11th, 2000, when some of Martins footage was released on video there has been considerable debate as to the origin and makeup of anomalous objects seen within the footage. In his first-ever public appearance, Martyn reveals how he came to make this shocking discovery and presents startling new facts and images that support the claim of those who maintain we are not alone.

My Father's Unusual Story

I was having a chat to my father tonight about UFO's & he told me this story.

Several years ago my father was taking lessons to get his private pilot's license & his flight instructor told him about a UFO experience that he had had when he was a flight trainer for the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force).

His role was to train new pilots at the RAAF base at Sale (in country Victoria). Apparently there was a known corridor where UFO activity occurred between Melbourne & Sale, although this fact & the following incident was kept under wraps.

All the trainee pilots were instructed not "to interfere" with anything in this area.On one occasion however, a RAAF plane did venture into this area & either went too close to or tried to attack a sighted UFO (my father can't remember the exact scenario). This plane did not return intact but wreckage was located & identified which was viewed by the instructor. The instructor told my father that what was really amazing was that all the debris collected from the plane was formed into round circular shapes like dinner plates.

Russian UFO Crash 1969 "Russian Roswell"

RUSSIAN UFO CRASH IN 1969 ? THIS FOOTAGE SURFACED JUST RECENTLY:

1969 March - Sverdlovsky, USSR (formerly Yekatrinburg)
Something enormous and fiery crashed, resulting in considerable Soviet government cover-up. Films have been obtained and verified by experts revealing the possible crash of a flying saucer and the finding of a badly mutilated alien body, also filmed during autopsy. This incredible information was featured 9-13-98 on TNT (Turner Network Television) program "The Secret UFO Files of the KGB".





More information can be found at this URL:


http://tnt.turner.com/kgb/frame_index.html"


which has an excellent overview of the stories, film and experts involved in this startling case. Below are images from the program showing the Russian soldiers from the 1969 footage examining the remains of the disc that crashed. Speculation is that the disc crashed in the nearby field and this portion flipped and bounced into its position in the wooded area.Soldiers are seen throughout the film, along with KGB officials examining and guarding the site. Experts on the TNT program say the Russian autopsy of the alien torso and arm was very authentic and accurate procedure for 1969 in Russia.


UPDATE:


UFO- Researcher Kal Korff Receives Metal Fragments for Analysis from Alleged Russian 'UFO' Crash in TNT Special


September 27, 1998


SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- TotalResearch announced today, that their President and CEO, critically-acclaimed investigative journalist and author, Kal K. Korff, has received for analysis five purported fragments from an alleged UFO 'crash' near Berezovsky, Russia, in 1969.
"After careful research and investigation, I am pleased to announce that I have received for analysis, five fragments from an alleged UFO crash that we are told took place in 1969 in Russia. This case first came to international prominence recently when the TNT network aired just a few weeks ago, a 90-minute, made for television, primetime special claiming that this event took place, the source of which purportedly comes from previously-classified Soviet KGB intelligence files on the subject of UFOs." Korff said in a short statement while visiting one of his offices in San Jose, California.


"Before I send these fragments in for analysis, I intend to follow up first on the background and provenance of these samples, and then it is my intention to have them analyzed both at a private university laboratory and at a U.S. government laboratory. I believe in using both civilian and government facilities as controls, and that this is the proper and responsible way to handle having these samples analyzed."


While Kal Korff has already investigated and exposed several of the claims in the TNT KGB-UFO television special as being "inaccurate, and outright erroneous," he remains intrigued by the samples.


"The metal samples are of interest to me, because they are tangibles that can be tested, measured, quantified and analyzed. We should be able to tell exactly what these pieces of metal represent, and most importantly, whether or not they were manufactured on this Earth by human technology. I look forward to learning the results of the analyses, whatever they reveal."


When Korff was asked whether he thought the fragments were from a 'real' UFO, he declined to speculate, saying, "How would I know? Right now, I have no opinion one way or another. I remain, for now, neutral in this matter and will make sure these samples get analyzed properly. That's the best I can do, and this is the responsible thing to do."


"As soon as the lab results are in, I shall immediately make them public, and then it is my intention to contact the producers of the KGB-UFO TNT special and have a conversation with them about this whole affair."
"That conversation should prove interesting." Korff said with a smile.


Kal Korff will be discussing his receipt of the fragments over the next few weeks via postings on Glen Campbell's UFOMind web site, and on his regular, syndicated bi-weekly radio show, "Counterpoint," which broadcasts out of radio station CKTB in Ontario, Canada. But since we have good and regular contact with Kal, you will find any new revelations on the A.U.R.A. Website as well.

Edo-period UFO

Edo-period UFO


The Iwase Bunko Library has in its possession a document entitled Hyouryuukishuu (”Tales of Castaways”), which was printed during the late Edo period (1603-1868).




The document recounts the stories of Japanese sailors who find themselves in foreign lands after becoming lost at sea, as well as castaway foreigners washed ashore on the beaches of Japan. To the Japanese people, who at the time had been living in a prolonged period of national isolation, these exotic tales must have seemed very fantastic.


Among these stories is the account of a wrecked ship with a very mysterious appearance.



According to the document, this vessel washed ashore at Harashagahama in Hitachi-no-kuni (present-day Ibaraki prefecture). The body of the ship, described as 3.3 meters tall and 5.4 meters wide, had been built from red sandalwood and iron and was fitted with windows of glass or crystal. The mysterious characters of an unknown alphabet were found inscribed inside the vessel.



Aboard the drifting vessel was a finely dressed young woman with a pale face and red eyebrows and hair. She was estimated to be between 18 and 20 years old. Because she spoke an unfamiliar tongue, those that encountered her were unable to determine from whence she came. In her arms she clutched a plain wooden box that appeared to be of great value to her, as she would allow nobody to approach it.


The document shows a portion of the text found inside the ship (see left).


Other Edo-period documents describe variations of this mysterious encounter. Toen Shousetsu (1825), a book by Kyokutei Bakin (who is most famous for his 106-volume samurai epic Nansou Satomi Hakkenden) tells the story of the same encounter, referring to the strange vessel as the utsuro-fune (”hollow ship”). Another variation of this tale appears in Ume no Chiri (1844), penned by a relatively unknown author named Nagahashi Matajirou. A thorough analysis of these two variations of the story can be found in a translated article by Kazuo Tanaka titled “Did a Close Encounter of the Third Kind Occur on a Japanese Beach in 1803?”

Contemporary fans of the paranormal know this ship as the Edo-period UFO.

Contact has begun

Flying saucers, according to some, have been coming to Trout Lake, Wash., for years James Gilliland, of Trout Lake, Wash., stands in a field at Sattva Sanctuary on Saturday, where people gather nearly every day to watch what they call flying saucers. Russ Miller photo

for The Goldendale Sentinel

GOLDENDALE, Washington (STPNS) -- It’s an exciting time at James Gilliland’s ranch outside of Trout Lake – not because there’s nearly daily sightings of flying saucers, that’s been happening for years – but because a documentary about the sightings has just been released.

The movie is called “Contact Has Begun,” and Gilliland said last Saturday that it is expected to be showing in select theaters across the country. It’s also available on DVD.

Interesting link someone sent by. Familiar with B.M. for a long time but don't really know what to think. At least the vid will be of entertainment value if anything real, I don't know but could be.
