www.youtube.com British ufologist and cryptozoologist Nick Redfern talked about his new book Science Fiction Secrets which probes the intertwining connections between works of fiction, and governmental secrecy & experiments, conspiracies, and the paranormal. Among the items he covered: * Pres. Ronald Reagan, upon viewing Steven Spielberg’s movie ET at the White House in 1982, was said to have whispered to the director that a handful of people in the room know how true this movie really was. * Soviet leader Josef Stalin may have been inspired by reading the HG Wells’ science-fiction novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau, when he created a project that attempted (unsuccessfully) to breed humans with apes, in order to create an invincible soldier. * Another Wells novel, The Invisible Man, may have influenced the US military’s secretive attempts to perfect invisibility for its warships in WWII, in what became known as the Philadelphia Experiment. * Government documents at Fort Dietrich mention lethal alien viruses and plans of action, which are similar to the scenarios written about by Michael Crichton in his book The Andromeda Strain. * The pilot episode of The X-Files spin-off, The Lone Gunmen, featured a plot line similar to the 9-11 attacks, though the program aired seven months before the event (video clip). * The FBI secretly spied on a number of science-fiction authors, including Philip K. Dick, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell. The US Air Force spied on 1950s filmmaker Mike …

With all the negative press that CERN has been given, not to mention the nasty accidents and weird phenomena that has caused setback after setback with their “experiment”, you have to wonder why all this buildup? Maybe they already know it won’t work and have decided instead to use it as a means to bring in Bluebeam or introduce the existance of UFO’s. This way they can manipulate the truth and lead us to believe they just found out now .. or it just happened now!! You be the judge … read the redundant media coverage to date! macedoniaonline.eu A top scientist at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) says that the titanic machine may possibly create or discover previously unimagined scientific phenomena, or “unknown unknowns” – for instance “an extra dimension”. “Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it,” said Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, briefing reporters including the Reg at CERN HQ earlier this week. and another … www.newscientist.com AS DAMP squibs go, it was quite a spectacular one. Amid great pomp and ceremony – not to mention dark offstage rumblings that the end of the world was nigh – the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s mightiest particle smasher, fired up in September last year. Nine days later a short circuit and a catastrophic leak of liquid helium ignominiously shut the machine down. Now for take two. Any day now, if all goes to plan, proton beams will start racing …

An intro to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, situated in the northwest suburbs of Geneva on the Franco-Swiss border, established in 1954.

Russian scientists plan to carry out a simulation of a mission to Mars. The experiment will be conducted by The Russian Federation State Scientific Centre – Institute for Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IBMP). But what does such an experiment entail? Well be talking about it with Dr Viktor Baranov, the leader of the Mars 500 experiment.

ITV News Volcano erupts in south Iceland. Man takes pictures from space on digital camera. A man in West Yorkshire has managed to snap some stunning photos of the Earth from space using a compact Canon digital camera and a hot air balloon kit that cost him just £500. Robert Harrison, of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, constructed his space photography kit using off-the-shelf components that cost him around £500. He mounted a standard, four mega pixel Canon digital camera to a hot air balloon. The camera was hooked up to a small, Linux-based computer that was set to wake up the camera at set intervals and snap a picture. A GPS unit allowed Harrison to recover his camera when the balloon eventually came back to Earth. The resulting photos are so stunning, that NASA has apparently been in touch with Harrison to learn how he managed to capture such high quality images so cheaply. Several galleries of photos can be seen at Harrisons Flickr page, while his blog contains details of his various launches and the hardware used to construct his clever hot air balloon rig.

The Large Hadron Collider – a 27-kilometre tunnel used for smashing elementary particles together in experiments – has broken a new record. High-energy proton collisions were achieved at speeds three times the rate accomplished before. The breakthrough comes after initial attempts earlier in the day were unsuccessful. It’s hoped the experiments in the tunnel housed under the Swiss French border will lead to a better understanding of the ‘Big Bang’ and how our universe came to exist.

Near space photographic weather balloon. In conjunction with Mr. Clapper’s Honors Chem class, and Mr. mccauley, we expanded on a recent MIT experiment and send a weather balloon into near space equipped with a camera (that the electronics students hacked into to take time laps photos), and real time gps tracking. We were able to take photos of near space and the curvature of the earth *End story for the space balloon- After about 58 minutes of flight time the balloon landed in Hickory, about an hour and a half away by car. We were able to track the landing using the gps on the cheap track phone and used Google Map to se photos of the yard where the balloon had landed. We drove out to find the owner of the property not home and the balloon 75 ft up in a tree in his back yard. We fashioned a long pole (12 ft?) out of pool cues, meter sticks, and duct tape we had in the car and I climbed up the tree with the pole. We were unable to retrieve it on the first attempt and had to drive out to a hardware store to buy a hook to tape to the end of the pole. We retrieved the balloon without the resident ever knowing we were there or that many Christ School students had been looking at his back yard via Google Earth.
