Missed Connections in the Archean.

Image
Greetings. Alien visitation. The possibility is fascinating to ponder, challenging to consider, and easily considered from a biased, homocentric point of view.  The Archean Eon is the second of the four geologic eons of Earth's long and storied history, preceded by the Hadean Eon and followed by the Proterozoic. The Archean represents the time period from approximately 4,031 to 2,500 million years ago. The Late Heavy Bombardment is hypothesized to have overlapped with the earliest stages of the Archean. The Huronian glaciation occurred at the very end of the Archean Eon.  The Earth during the Archean was mostly a water world, the planet possessing a continental crust, but with the majority submerged underneath a global ocean substantially deeper than today's oceans. Except for some rare relict crystals, today's oldest continental crust dates back to the Archean, however, much of the geological detail of the Archean has been destroyed by subsequent tectonic and environmental...

Chiles-Whitted: The Stimulus for the Estimate.

Greetings. Chiles-Whitted.  The Chiles-Whitted UFO sighting occurred on July 24, 1948 at approximately 2:45am in the skies in the vicinity of Montgomery, Alabama. Clarence S. Chiles and John B. Whitted, both commercial pilots, claimed to have observed a "glowing object" pass by their aircraft before it appeared to pull up into a cloud and travel out of visual sight.  According Edward J. Ruppelt, the former head of Project Blue Book, the Chiles-Whitted sighting was one of the three classic UFO incidents in 1948 that convinced the personnel of Project Sign, the predecessor of Projects Grudge and Blue Book, that the UFO problem was a reality, along with the Mantell UFO incident and the Gorman dogfight. Subsequent studies by Air Force and civilian UFO researchers have revealed that Chiles and Whitted likely witnessed a large meteor, possibly a bolide, with Project Blue Book in 1959 formally declaring that a meteor was the explanation of the incident. In the early morning hours of...

Abducting Aliens or a Good Ole Kentucky Abberation?

Greetings. Kentucky, January of 1976.  Mona Stafford's 36th birthday was January 6th, and in celebration, she and her friends Louise Smith and Elaine Thomas decided to drive thirty-five miles from their home in Liberty, Kentucky, to have dinner at the Redwoods Restaurant, between Stanford and Lancaster, Kentucky. Louise Smith was driving her 1967 Chevy Nova. The three women had an enjoyable dinner together, and none of the ladies drank any alcoholic beverages with their dinner. At about 11:15pm, the trio headed back home, expecting to be home by around midnight. At Stanford, Kentucky, nine miles from Lancaster, they turned off Highway 27 and onto Highway 78 towards Hustonville. Just beyond Stanford, unexplained events began to transpire. The ladies spotted a bright object in the night sky, which Mona Stafford initially thought was an airplane in distress, possibly on fire, due to its reddish glow. As the object descended from the right side of the road to a point ahead of them, the...
