Noah's Ark Is (still) In Turkey by Dan Eden for viewzone
Why is this not a BIG story?
I'm often amazed at our lack of knowledge about history. Ordinary people are hungry for this information, yet the organizations responsible to disseminate these facts seem to have an agenda to keep us in the dark. This is especially true when it comes to our ancient human history.
I won't hold you in suspense with this article: The Ark of Noah has been found. It's real. I'll describe the evidence in some detail and end with the historical and religious implications.
How it was discovered
In 1959, Turkish army captain Llhan Durupinar discovered an unusual shape while examining aerial photographs of his country. The smooth shape, larger than a football field, stood out from the rough and rocky terrain at an altitude of 6,300 feet near the Turkish border with Iran.
Capt. Durupinar was familiar with the biblical accounts of the Ark and its association with Mount Ararat in Turkey, but he was reluctant to jump to any conclusions. The region was very remote, yet it was inhabited with small villages. No previous reports of an object this odd had been made before. So he forwarded the photographic negative to a famous aerial photography expert named Dr. Brandenburger, at Ohio State University.
Brandenburger was responsible for discovering the Cuban missile bases during the Kennedy era from reconnaissance photos, and after carefully studying the photo, he concluded: "I have no doubt at all, that this object is a ship. In my entire career, I have never seen an object like this on a stereo photo."
In 1960 the picture [above] was published in LIFE magazine under the heading of Noahs Ark? That same year a group of Americans accompanied Capt. Durupinar to the site for a day and a half. They were expecting to find artifacts on the surface or something that would be unquestionably related to a ship of some kind. They did some digging in the area but found nothing conclusive and announced to the anxiously waiting world that it appeared to be a natural formation.
Most of the global media turned away from the find and it became a non-story.
In 1977 Ron Wyatt visited the site. Obtaining official permission, Ron and others conducted more thorough research over a period of several years. They used metal detection surveys, subsurface radar scans, and chemical analysis -- real science -- and their findings were startling. The evidence was undeniable. This was the Ark of Noah.
#1 -- the Visual Evidence
The first part of the survey was to examine the object and take its measurements. The shape looked like hull of a ship. One end was pointed as you would expect from bow [below: D] and the opposite end was blunt like a stern. The distance from bow to stern was 515 feet, or exactly 300 Egyptian cubits. The average width was 50 cubits. These were the exact measurements mentioned in the Bible.
On the starboard side (right) near the stern there were four vertical bulges protruding from the mud [B], at regular intervals, that were determined to be the "ribs" of the hull [see below]. Opposite to these, on the port side, a single rib [A] protrudes from the mud. You can see its curved shape very clearly. Surrounding it are more ribs, still largely buried in the mud, but visible upon close examination.
Remember that this object, if it is the Ark, is extremely old. The wood has been petrified. Organic matter has been replaced by minerals from the earth. Only the shapes and traces of the original wood remain. Perhaps this is why the expedition in 1960 was disappointed. They anticipated finding and retrieving chucks of wood, long since eroded.
From the position of the object in the middle of an obvious mudflow, it is obvious that the object slid down more than a mile from its original location. Geologists believe it was originally over 1000 feet higher in the mountain and encased in a shell of hardened mud. They think that an earthquake in 1948 cracked the mud shell and revealed the structure. This is confirmed by stories from the surrounding vallagers who tell of its "sudden appearance" around that time.
Biblical accounts of the Ark describe it as having as many as six levels. The assumed shape of the Ark seems consistent with the bulge [C] in the middle of the object. In fact, as we will soon learn, radar scans of the structure suggest that this bulge is the collapsed debris of these levels.
Although most people think of the Ark as being rectangular, that only applies to the top decks. The sleek shape of the hull is necessary to enable the huge ship to remain stable in the water and survive tremendous waves.
#2 -- Ground Penetrating Radar
The human eye needs to see reflected light to recognize an object. To visualize what remains below the earth, scientists use microwaves which can penetrate the ground and bounce back when they hit something solid. This technique is commonly used to locate oil and other minerals. Called Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), the apparatus us made from an antenna that transmits, then listens to receive the "echo" and prints the result on a piece of paper. The delay and strength of this echo tell the geologists how solid and at what depth the objects are under the earth.
The team of geologists didn't scan the entire object. Instead, they marked out lines that crossed the object with yellow tape. Then they dragged the antenna (about the size of a lawnmower) over the lines and watched the output on the paper recorder. When they got a strong "hit" -- meaning there was something solid underneath -- they would record the position on the tape [above]. Later, when they made a map of the object, the tape and the location of the "hits" they realized that there was indeed a structure underneath the mud.
"This data does not represent natural geology. These are man made structures. These reflections are appearing too periodic... too periodic to be random in that type of natural pace." -- Ron Wyett of SIR Imaging team
The radar cans revealed this structure [above] under the mud. The symmetry and logical placement of these objects shows that this is unmistakably a man made structure, most likely the Ark of Noah.
#3 -- Artifacts retrieved from the Ark
Using the GPR, Ron Wyett discovered an open cavity on the starboard side. He used an improvised drill to make core sample inside this cavity and retrieved several very interesting objects. Below you can see the artifacts which were sent for laboratory analysis. On the left is the bore hole [see below], followed by what turned out to be petrified animal dung, then a petrified antler and lastly a piece of cat hair.
Even more amazing artifacts were found
Perhaps the most significant find from the Ark itself is a piece of petrified wood. When this was first found it appeared to be a large beam. But upon closer examination it is actually three pieces of plank that have been laminated together with some kind of organic glue! This is the same technology used in modern plywood. Lamination makes the total strength of the wood much greater than the combined strength of the pieces. This suggests a knowledge of construction far beyond anything we knew existed in the ancient world.
Tests by Galbraith Labs in Knoxville, Tennessee, showed the sample to contain over 0.7% organic carbon, consistent with fossilized wood. The specimen was once living matter.
Examination reveals the glue oozed from the layers. The outside of the wood appears to have been coated with bitumen.
Even more surprising were laboratory analyses which not only revealed that the petrified wood contained carbon (proving it was once wood) but there were iron nails [above right] embedded in the wood!
In Genesis 6:14, God told Noah to "make yourself an ark of gopher wood."
"Gopher wood" is a misreading and scribal error. "Kopher" wood is correct and means wood (any wood) that is covered with Kopher. Kopher is bitumen. In the Genesis text (6:14), the context is clear. The GPR wood used, (a scribal error) is to be covered in KPR. G and K in Hebrew are so similar that inexperienced Hebrew "scholars," such as those translating the King James Version of the Bible, could have been prone to such errors, indeed, they made many such errors.
Acts 7: 45 & Hebrews 4: 8 are classic examples of such scribal errors.
gpr = "g," as in gopher, k pr = "k,"as in kopher Pictured right is a simple visual comparison of the letters.
We like to imagine that humanity evolved in a neat sequence of eras, each named after the technology that was discovered. We have the Stone Age (where man developed arrows and stone tools), the Bronze Age (where metals were combined and heated to make tools and household items) and lastly the Iron Age (where iron and steel objects were made by heating iron ore and adding other material -- like charcoal -- to strengthen it). The Iron Age is usually placed at 1200-1000 BC, yet we have iron nails being used in this extremely old construction
But wait... there's more!
The most surprising find was discovered with sensitive metal detectors. The team located several strong "hits" that, when dug up, revealed large disc shaped rivets. From simple observation of the metal it was possible to see where the rivet had been hammered after being inserted through a hole [below].
If rivets being used in ancient construction doesn't impress you, this surely will.
An analysis of the metal used to make the rivets revealed that they were a combination of iron (8.38%), aluminum (8.35%) and titanium (1.59%). Remember these trace metals have survived petrification and so do not indicate the exact content in the original material. (see Report from Galbraith Labs)
We know the aluminum was incorporated in the metallic mixture because it does not exist in metallic form in nature. This implies an extremely advanced knowledge of metallurgy and engineering. Characteristics of an iron-aluminum alloy have been investigated in The Russian Chemical Bulletin (2005) and reveal that this alloy forms a thin film of aluminum oxide which protects the material from rust and corrosion. The addition of titanium would provide added strength. This seems to have worked. The rivets have survived from antiquity!
The surrounding area has more surprises
Several miles from the location of the Ark, huge stones were discovered, some standing upright while others lying on the ground. These stones, weighing many tons, have holes carved in them. Scientists have determined that they were anchors and the holes would have been their attachment to a ship with hemp rope.
Often these stones will have crosses carved in them, from centuries ago when pilgrims made the journey to visit the Ark. Yes, the Ark was well known in the Middle Ages and even before. And its location was recorded in many historical documents.
"And the Ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen." -- Genesis 8:4-5
The Gilgamesh Epic (650 BC) gives Mt. Nisir as the landing place of the Ark. The local name for the town where the Ark was found is Nasar.
The annals of Ashurnasurpal II of Assyria (833-859 BC) places it south of the Zab river (correct).
Theophilus of Antioch (115-185 AD) said the Ark could be seen in his day in the Arabian mountains. Later Church Fathers also mention the Ark as late as the mid 7th century.
In the 13th century, Willam, a traveler, stated for the first time that Mt. Masis was the Ark location (present-day Mt. Ararat).
Ptolemy's Geographia (1548) mentions the mountains of Armenia as the place of landing. So does the traveler Nicolas de Nicolay (1558).
Pilgrims to the site would gather bits and pieces of the petrified wood which would be used as charms to ward off evil. When they encountered the anchors, they had no doubt about their association with the Ark. They often carves one big cross to represent Noah and smaller crosses representing his family.
The huge anchors would have been suspended from the keel of the ship. This was a common practice among ancient mariners to stabilze a heavy ship and ensure that the bow is always facing the on-coming waves. A "top heavy" ship, such as the Ark, could easily be capsized by a wave approaching from the side. This is yet further proof that Noah's Ark was a reality and that it has indeed been found in Turkey.
After Noah's Ark landed
When Dr. Brandenburger originally examined and enlarged the photographs of the "strange object" in Turkey, he also saw hundreds of ancient foundations in the region, suggesting to him that this might have been the first town established after the flood, as described in the Bible.
Now their settlement extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east. -- Genesis 10:30
Archaeological teams have found many ruins and ancient graves. Many human ribs have been excavated and sent to laboratories for dating. In the midst of this alleged "first city" of Noah, there is an unusual and prominent structure, about 10 feet in diameter, that many believe to be the altar on which Noah made his first sacrifice.
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.
Again, it surprised me when I research a story like this and find substantial evidence that something extremely important has been found, yet it has been ignored by historians and the media. Perhaps it is because the advanced technology discovered in the Ark suggests that Sumerian legends, the Epic of Gilamesh, and other ancient writing might actually be correct when they speak of an extraterrestrial connection. The plural of god -- Elohim -- is used even in Genesis. Who were these "gods" and how did they walk the Earth and interact with humans of the era...
Or perhaps this discovery should be seen as a good reason to accept the Bible at its word.
We all need to look deeper into our past to learn what sort of beings we really are, where we are coming from and where we are going.
Thomas O. Mills, a frequent contributor to viewzone and an expert on the Hopi culture and history, sent us this very interesting diagram of Stonehenge.
The diagram is explained by Mr. Mills:
"Thought your readers might like to take a look at Stonehenge from a different point of view -- a Hopi point of view. Many of my Hopi friends believe that East hasn't always been in its present location.
My scientific friends believe that for something to be "proof positive" it has to be the only possible solution. When you look at Stonehenge from this perspective [above], it is the only possible solution as the rays of the sun and the stars can not work together as a balance and line up in any other position.
The stones are so arranged that a person standing in the center of the complex at the time of the Equinox could accurately measure the Earths delicate balance using the sun and four stars as a second reference.
They do not line up today and therefore the reason that no one knows the purpose of Stonehenge. The pyramid complex in Egypt, the Aztec Sun Stone, and the newly discovered Adams calendar in Africa all show the same thing. One of the balanced worlds or times the Creator promised the Hopi. I believe each of the four races were given this information in the beginning. This is the same reason that the doorways at Karnak, Luxor, and Dendera had to be relocated.
I welcome your comments, and as always, hope all is well." --Thomas O. Mills
We decided to use google-earth and position the Stonehenge stones so that North was directly vertical, and where Mr. Mills suggested it might be according to the diagram.
As you can see, the new "North" pole aligns to a spot just north of Lake Hudson in Canada. This the exact location, according to Charles Hapgood, where the north pole was about 12,000 years ago.
[Above:] Looking down on the current North Pole, we can identify at least 3 previous positions of the pole according to Hapgood. These are shown roughly by the numbered red dots.
The evidence proving that the poles where in different positions during the Pleistocene era is quite impressive, and this explains why Hapgood's theory was approved by scientists such as Einstein and K.F. Mather. But his theory meets with so many difficulties that it beomes highly controversial.
Position #3: 60 degrees N, 73 degrees W. From the Hudson Bay area at about 17,000 B.P. and moving north to its present location by about 12,000 B.P.
Since all of his celestial alignments appear to be dead on target, this new piece of the Stonehenge puzzle begs for some explanation. We ask you, our readers, to suggest some possible explanations.
"The I-Ching, our DNA, Terence Mckenna, Hermetics, Harmonics, DMT, Sacred Geometry, Spirituality, Gregg Braden, Frequency, the Earth's own frequency rising since 1989, my own realization that history has been stolen and rewritten to keep us in the dark is enough to for me to realize; We're moving in 2012." -blueskies66
This trend is continuing as i type... eventually reaching a point in singularity, when technology can further no more, the evolution of the mind will continue.
As we near 2012 the spiral tightens, more and more people will realize the truth of our nature, becoming aware = enlightenment
Survey the incredibly wide-ranging evidence -- including video -- that certain insider factions are pushing for UFO/ET Disclosure very soon. The Norway Spiral is only the most recent attempt to 'force' the issue -- after the US failed to deliver on November 27th.
[First Four Parts Published 11:59 PM, Christmas Eve 2009!]
By David Wilcock
In Russia there comes the hope of the world --
Not as that sometimes termed of the communistic, or Bolshevik, no; but freedom, freedom!
That each man will live for his fellow man!
The principle has been born.
It will take years for it to be crystallised, but out of Russia comes again the hope of the world.
Guided by what?
That friendship with the nation that hath even set on its present monetary unit, "In God We Trust."
(Cayce Reading 3976-29, June 22, 1944)
PART ONE: INSIDER BATTLE REACHING CRITICAL MASS
TURN, TURN, TURN
To everything, there is a season -- and a time for every purpose under heaven.
A remarkable structure appeared in the skies over northern Norway on December 9, 2009 -- a stunning aerial formation, as you see in the above, unaltered photograph, that was massive in size and hung there rotating in space for ten to fifteen minutes straight.
We now have irrefutable scientific proof that the mainstream media's explanation for the Norway Spiral cannot be correct.
We now have irrefutable scientific proof that the mainstream media's explanation for the Norway Spiral cannot be correct -- as you will soon see. And that raises many more questions.
If the visual sight of this Spiral wasn't interesting enough, the context certainly was -- it showed up the day before Obama was set to receive his Nobel Peace Prize in the very same country.
Also, on that very same day, December 9, 2009, hundreds of eyewitnesses reported -- and two of them filmed -- a gigantic, triangular pyramid-shaped UFO that hovered over the Kremlin in Russia for hours -- from daylight on into darkness.
Coincidence? Once you review all the evidence, you will see how compelling this case really is -- and how these 'islands' really do connect below the surface.
The Norway Spiral is only the most recent indication that an incredible, seemingly-impossible moment in human civilization and consciousness may actually be about to happen -- the open, formal announcement that we are not alone in the Universe.
IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY TO KEEP A SECRET
We will also convincingly argue that perhaps the number-one reason why the truth is about to come out is that the primary group responsible for the UFO cover-up can no longer afford to keep it a secret.
It costs a lot of money to harass, intimidate and discredit the opposition on such a huge issue as this, for such a prolonged period of time -- and the group responsible for the secrecy is now functionally bankrupt, and is being systematically taken down by opposing insider factions who want Disclosure.
Last year's shockingly sudden economic collapse -- and the unmitigated political disaster of the short-term bailouts that were handed out to the usual suspects -- is a strong piece of supporting evidence to suggest that the money simply isn't there anymore to finance the enormous political / military / corporate machine required to keep this enormous secret under wraps.
All empires in recorded history have crumbled from over-extending themselves financially. History repeats itself. This time, the results will be much better than most of us could ever have expected.
No one holding the reins of power would have let something as grotesquely embarrassing as the bailouts occur... potentially leading to the revolutionary overthrow of their own corporate and governmental authority... unless they'd had no other choice.It's the very simple logic of power -- Never Let 'Em See You Sweat. The supporting evidence makes that case very, very clearly.
LAUGH IF YOU WANT TO
You can laugh if you want to, and attack everyone who doesn't think the same way you do as being a loser and a crank, but you may be in for quite a surprise when such a Disclosure is actually made. In fact, the insiders who have kept this secret for the last 60 years are counting on the skeptics, debunkers and religious fundamentalists to freak out and destabilize society once they are finally told the truth -- though I highly doubt that will actually happen.
Instead of absolutely believing you will never hear any "genuine proof" that UFOs exist, or ever see a 'real one' with your own eyes, I invite you to try the intellectual exercise of at least allowing yourself to ask the "What If." Just try. As a Highly Intelligent Skeptic you have to be willing to consider all possibilities, rather than automatically assuming your opinion must be correct.
As a Highly Intelligent Skeptic you have to be willing to consider all possibilities, rather than automatically assuming your opinion must be correct.
What if the government actually did tell you UFOs were real? What if we are surrounded by intelligent life throughout the Universe? What if humans like us have evolved on other planets besides the Earth? What if there are technologies out there that are vastly superior to our own -- and our cherished 'laws' of physics need to be completely rewritten?
What if our own technology was dramatically assisted by this "celestial endowment?" What if the extraterrestrial presence was considered the highest secret of all, due to its potential to eliminate the oil-based economy, and has been carefully kept under wraps -- with deadly force -- for six decades now, but is finally falling apart?
I mean, think about it -- after all this talk of UFOs for so many years; after all the movies, documentaries, books, TV shows and the like; after all the evidence you have been exposed to throughout your life, do you honestly believe the whole, entire thing is completely and totally BS?
Can you sincerely be confident that every single sighting ever reported in human history must be a lie or a hoax, and every single whistleblower is similarly concocting fairytales -- despite the career destruction, poverty and ridicule they endure, notwithstanding the tired old lies you may have heard about them "selling their stories" and becoming 'rich' from them?
(I know many of these UFO whistleblowers personally. Very few, if any, are lucky enough to function above a subsistence level.)
I'm serious. This is your life. You do with it what you want. But can you absolutely be sure you are right? What happens if you're not? Who will you owe your sincerest apologies to then?
In light of the tremendous, irrefutable body of evidence that is available, who really is the naive one? You, the Highly Intelligent Skeptic, or all the people you so cavalierly insult as being stupid, ignorant savages for looking at this vast body of compelling data... and concluding that it might actually be true?
You may not have to wait much longer to find the answers to these questions. We are on the threshold of what may well be the most exciting moment in human history. Or, shall we say, Earth-born human history.
BIG AND CRAZY THINGS ACTUALLY DO HAPPEN
Despite how surreal it was to watch two of the world's tallest buildings crumble to ashes after two planes crashed into them in 2001, 9/11 actually did happen. It was 100-percent real. No one disputes that fact. The 'bully', so to speak, sure terrorized the whole schoolyard with that one.
9/11 was an incredible, world-changing event that forever altered society as we know it. In many ways, a formal announcement that "We Are Not Alone" would have a similarly vast game-changing effect -- quite a bit more than 9/11 . And I am confident that Disclosure will have a far more positive effect than 9/11 ever did, regardless of whatever plans might be underway to manipulate it for political gain.
We may very well be about to discover, as a planet, that the UFO phenomenon is not a hoax, not a fantasy, nor a delusion -- but a very real situation that has been ongoing since well before human beings ever walked the face of the Earth.
Since this entire game is still being played behind the scenes, it can be easy to overlook the stunning clues that have emerged, particularly in more recent times -- but that's precisely why we wrote this paper. Once we have a greater understanding of what we're looking at -- in events that may at first seem completely mysterious, random and inexplicable -- the case becomes extremely compelling.
Some of the key factions involved in this grand football game are tired of waiting. They're playing for keeps. No more treating us like children. This is it. Game over. Childhood's End. We need to know the truth -- and we need it now.
THE 'BAT SIGNAL'
Considering the evidence we will reveal, the Norway Spiral might be likened to Batman's signal -- calling in the end of the bully's nefarious reign over the schoolyard, with the arrival of not just one, but a whole group of more powerful opponents who can actually defeat him. They've been working on this for a long time -- some two centuries now.
And I'm not talking about ETs coming in for a landing here... I'm talking about other factions of the world's leadership structures that are sick and tired of the lies, treachery, deceit and secrecy. The UFO cover-up sprung out of a toxic system that was already well in place by the 1940s, as we shall discuss.
THE FALL OF THE BULLY
Before we plunge fully into this epic discussion, we can nicely summarize the 'hologram' of our current situation on Earth with the following analogy:
The bully didn't want any of the kids in 'his' schoolyard to play with the other kids -- the ones who lived all throughout the neighborhood.
He guarded the gates. He liked being the Big Fish in a Small Pond. He told elaborate stories of how evil, treacherous and deceptive the other kids were.
He wanted everyone to respect him and pay him for protection, while fearing anyone and everyone else around them -- including him most of all.
If the kids found out they had all these other friends in the neighborhood who could have helped them, they might have quickly forgotten about the bully... and laughed at his once-fearsome authority.
Over the years, the bully grew weak and tired. He couldn't beat people up anymore, so he started paying his friends to do it.
Now he has run out of money to pay all his friends. They, too, became tired of all his lies and backstabbing games -- so as soon as his money ran out, they ditched him.
It took a while for all the kids on the schoolyard to realize the bully could not hurt them anymore. His power was so feared, so legendary, that the stories of his beatings continued to awe and inspire them for some time.
But there were cracks in the armor. A series of signs -- irrefutable and undeniable -- started happening that gradually made the kids realize the bully's power to hurt them had evaporated.
Now all the people he shamed, humiliated and attacked over the years are finally standing up -- and they're going to tell us the truth.
They're going to tell their story... of what it was like to live in fear of this bully for so many years, and never be able to share the secret truth of the horrors he was putting them through.
Once the bully is gone, the children can run and sing and dance and play happily -- quickly recovering from the nightmare of abuse they endured for so long. They won't have to hand over all their lunch money to him and his friends any more.
And they will soon find out they have a lot more friends than they ever could have imagined -- regardless of whatever horror stories the bully tried to tell them about how mean and evil all the other kids were.
THE 'COVER STORY' MAKES NO SENSE FROM A TACTICAL STANDPOINT, IN THIS CASE
Let's discuss some very basic, common-sense thoughts about the Norway Spiral sighting itself for a minute -- before we get into the irrefutable scientific proof -- yes, mathematical proof -- that the "official explanation" must be a lie.
Why would the Russians have set themselves up for such an obvious and epic military failure -- in an area the entire world's attention was momentarily focused on?
Couldn't they have waited for a less-conspicuous day to try it out -- if there was even the slightest chance it was going to screw up in such a tremendously embarrassing fashion?
Did you also notice that the video of the Spiral that was aired by Russia Today -- one of the mainstream Russian television networks -- was much, much clearer and stranger-looking than the grainy, brief versions shown in Western mainstream television media? Watch the good-quality Russian version first, followed by the type of plausible-deniability version shown in Western media, and see for yourself.
The first video you see here is from Russia Today, followed by a more typical mainstream-media treatment from CNN.
If it were only a missile, why did the American mainstream media stick to grainy, short clips of it that denied the viewer the full impact of what was really being seen in the Norwegian sky -- making it much easier to believe it was merely a rocket malfunctioning, and therefore keeping their audience from understanding what all the fuss was about?
MANY PEOPLE ARE 'NOT BUYING IT'
Regardless of what created the apparition -- and we'll get to that in a minute -- the timing of the event is almost certainly not an accident, nor a coincidence.
For starters, no documented photo or video of a missile failure looks anything close to what we've just seen in Norway. The only video used by skeptics as 'proof' that a missile failure could look anything like this is of a typical rocket in flight -- complete with the exhaust trail, which then gives off a farty little smoke-ring when it extinguishes. This doesn't even begin to match up to how awesome the Norway Spiral looks.
In short, the "official explanation" was so laughable -- so old school -- that almost every UFO blogger and enthusiast on Earth wrote about this stunning phenomenon with breathless enthusiasm.
At the time we began this piece on 12/12, 2009, when you searched for "Norway spiral UFO" on Google, over one million, five hundred eighty thousand hits came up -- just three days after it happened:
Similarly, a search for "spiral ufo video" yielded 1,120,000 hits, making it very difficult to search for any other phenomena like this that may have appeared in the past. By any reckoning, this is a very, very big event in UFOlogy -- hardly anything else has ever attracted this much attention so quickly.
PYRAMID-SHAPED UFO OVER THE KREMLIN ON THE VERY SAME DAY -- 12/9/09
The giant pyramid -- actually a tetrahedron, since it has a triangular base rather than a square one -- lazily turns in the air like a hot-air balloon, never makes any sudden, jerky moves unlike other alleged UFO sightings, looks fairly grainy in both the daytime and nighttime videos that were shot, and may be an excellent fake... as we will discuss.
The daytime video is only 12 seconds long, taken at a fixed angle, whereas the separate nighttime video was dynamically shot from within a moving car:
VERY DIFFICULT TO FAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON SHORT NOTICE
My own experience as Executive Producer of CONVERGENCE The Movie, and in doing free videos for Divine Cosmos, has already involved work with computer animators and visual FX staff.
Faking a video like the Kremlin Pyramid Night Shot would require some highly savvy CG post-production and compositing work:
Complex motion tracking so the UFO remains properly and believably positioned relative to the constantly-wobbling items around it, along with the ever-changing camera angles;
Precisely adjusting the CG light sources in a hypothetical 3D space to remain consistent with all other motion tracking, so the object catches the right reflections as it keeps slowly rolling in the night sky;
Masking out street lights, power lines, trees and everything else properly so the object appears to be at the proper three-dimensional depth in the shot, leaving no traces of error; and lastly,
Perfectly hand-tweaking lighting and opacity settings to compensate for the ever-shifting glare from the windows of the moving car, in addition to all the other 3D lighting concerns.
Thus, even if it was a fake, someone would have needed to put some real time and money into this operation.
EITHER HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE LYING, OR SOMETHING WAS REALLY THERE OVER RED SQUARE
Now that we have eyewitness sightings, it becomes extremely unlikely, if not impossible, that such a sophisticated fake as the nighttime video from within a moving car could have been shot, post-produced and rendered out into a finished product... the very same day.
If the videos were indeed fake and produced in advance of the alleged sighting, this suggests a highly premeditated effort in place. However, if there was indeed an "unidentified flying object" in the sky that hundreds of people could see, then why the heck would you need to create a fake video of something other than what people were actually seeing in the first place?
The only way you could 'debunk' this sighting is to either say that the hundreds of eyewitnesses reported by Russian mainstream media are lying (see below), or else you have to come up with a physical explanation for whatever was in the sky -- such as a gigantic inflatable, like a pyramid-shaped dirigible, and / or some sort of holographic projection.
And again, let's not forget -- this potential prelude to a "Landing on the Kremlin Lawn" in Red Square -- rather than the White House lawn -- happened on the very same day as the Norway Spiral! (emphasis added):
The UFO hovered for hours over Red Square in the Russian capital, and was seen by hundreds of people.
The identity of the shape has not been confirmed, but internet forums are buzzing with the sighting.
The UFO appeared on December 9th, the same night that a mysterious blue spiral light appeared over Norway. That was later attributed to a failed rocket launch from Russia.
Some have likened the object to one of the spaceships from Star Wars.
But others have said it is merely a reflection from inside the cameraman's car. If the object exists, experts estimate that it could be up to a mile wide.
Some commentators have reacted skeptically to the videos, and have pointed out that if hundreds of people had seen the object, more videos and photos would have emerged by now.
Russian reports ruled out a UFO, but police have refused to comment.
Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO analyst, said it was 'one of the most extraordinary UFO clips I've ever seen'.
'At first I thought this was a reflection, but it appears to move behind a power line, ruling out this theory.'
A spokesman for aerospace journal Jane's News said: 'We have no idea what it is.'
Whether real or fake, the timing of the Kremlin Pyramid's appearance is consistent with a greater pattern. Hundreds of people witnessed something hovering over the Russian capitol -- on the very same day that the Norway Spiral appeared.
If it is somehow still a fake, it definitely was meant to capture our attention. And that again raises many new questions as to the motive for doing so.
If it was a hot-air balloon of some kind, think about the amount of money you would have to spend to create a mile-wide tetrahedron-shaped hot air balloon. It would be the most massive, not to mention the most expensive balloon ever made -- or at least ever openly acknowledged.
If such a technology already did exist in a classified project, why bring it out on that particular day -- the very same day as the Norway Spiral?
TIME TO "PUT UP OR SHUT UP"
And why fly the Pyramid directly over Red Square -- as if the alleged ETs were ready to produce the Russian equivalent of the proverbial "landing on the White House lawn," thus treating the United States as if it were no longer 'relevant' as the world's sole-remaining superpower?
Now again, whether you like him or not, carefully consider the fact that two of the "most extraordinary UFO clips ever seen" appeared the day before Obama finally got what may be seen as the proper credentials to represent Planet Earth to our extraterrestrial neighbors -- a sitting US President who is also a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
You may also be aware that these two huge sightings appeared only 12 days after the Disclosure date that was allegedly planned by the Obama administration -- a date which has obviously been postponed to some future point.
Dr. Pete Peterson, a very credible insider, had three different high-level sources in media and government tell him the same story in June 2009, independently -- that Disclosure is indeed imminent. The date had been set for November 27, 2009, and would come from the White House, by Obama himself, as a two-hour television address aired around the world.
Dr. Peterson had been shown the actual scheduled television time that had been booked, and said any time he'd heard something from three sources of this caliber, it turned out to be true.
It also made tactical sense to have done this on November 27th, as it was the day after Thanksgiving. Almost all American families would be home together, and thus they would be in a much better position to absorb the impact of such a stunning, world-changing announcement.
Bill and Kerry from Project Camelot, who were with me when we all heard this, both leaked the date -- whereas I maintained the secret until after it came and went. I was almost certain that giving away the secret date ensured it wouldn't -- nay, couldn't -- have happened on that particular day.
But that certainly doesn't mean it won't happen.
A mere twelve days after the initial plan had been dropped, Obama may have been sent a very clear warning -- perhaps one of the last of this type he will ever have the chance to receive before the rug is whipped out from under him.
What was the message?
"Either make it official... or we're going to do it for you."
DISCLOSURE ENDGAME
Look at these two huge events -- whether real or hoaxed -- happening on the very same day.
No matter how you slice it, something is going on here.
And yet we've barely even begun to look at the incredible evidence to support the whole idea that these are end-game events in a grand battle to finally conclude 60 years of UFO secrecy, and bring Disclosure out to the masses, once and for all.
In order to flesh out the evidence for our case further, we need to take a very close look at the Norway Spiral. Is it a genuine ET manifestation, a failed Russian missile test, or something else entirely... something manmade?
If we can prove the Norway Spiral is manmade, and is not a missile, this lends even greater support to the idea that a Disclosure Endgame is now playing itself out on the world stage, in real time.
And that is a very exciting prospect indeed -- because although these latest events may not be of extraterrestrial origin, a significant percentage of the UFO phenomenon definitely is.
THE OFFICIAL THEORY IS OUT-GASSING MORE AND MORE
The Norway Spiral attracted vastly more attention and analysis than the Kremlin Pyramid -- probably because many more people photographed, filmed and witnessed it. No matter where you were, all throughout Norway, it was quite visible -- and very, very strange-looking.
Speculations about what the Spiral is, and "whodunit," are as wide and as far-reaching on the Internet as the formation itself was over the Norwegian sky.
Many people have commented how it clearly seems to be emanating from a single bright point on the ground -- looking as if some sort of massive projection system were beaming it up into the sky... using a 'blue beam':
Granted, a rocket launched from the ground would have a trail that started from a single point, but it is unlikely that its exhaust would have created such a perfectly round teardrop shape -- in addition to creating the blue spiral in the center. Yet, that is what we might see if a ground-based projection system were beaming up a circular shape into the atmosphere -- like the Batman symbol.
We know this image was taken from the island of Tromsø, facing the southeast -- hence you can see the sun starting to rise on the horizon.
Many may need to believe this is a missile, so they can continue feeling comfortable in their own 'consensus reality' for a little longer -- but that blue corkscrew spiral hanging in the air for 10-15 minutes, never dissipating or fading until after it opened out into a curious, perfectly round "black hole" shape, (see picture below,) is anything but normal.
HOW DO YOU GET SUCH STABILITY AND LACK OF 'MIXING' BETWEEN THE TWO COLORS?
If it were indeed a missile, how was it simultaneously creating a perfectly circular spiral that was white -- while also maintaining the blue corkscrew formation at the same time?
Forget the official explanations that say it "must" be a missile.
Bottom line: the corkscrew never changes color. It remains blue. It does not dissipate, but stays completely visible, as a spiral, without the particles ever spreading out, for 10-15 minutes -- while the concentric white circles stay completely white!
The 'missile' doesn't release any other gases, of any color, in any other direction. Just white, in a perfectly concentric series of spirals, and blue in a bizarre corkscrew spiral that never went away until the whole thing spread apart and disappeared.
We're supposed to believe the same missile created two different colors simultaneously -- but then they never blended in with each other.
This 'missile' is starting to sound as supernaturally powerful as Lee Harvey Oswald's magic zig-zagging bullet.
If this stunning aerial phenomenon is a natural result of missiles malfunctioning, there should be plenty of other examples that are at least partially as fascinating as this that we can look at. And yet, there are very few, if any -- much to the chagrin of skeptics, who would just as quickly want to forget this had ever happened.
None of these observations will change the conviction and smug arrogance of many skeptics. They're out there. They're completely convinced. They are Scientific and anyone else is a Dangerous Nutcase. We know. Thank you for your opinion. The truth is about to break free either way. You'll see.
People can think whatever they want -- and if something is repeated enough times, you can't help but start to believe it, and thus become convinced that this spectacular formation, the likes of which has never before been seen, must be nothing more than a gorgeously misguided missile.
Or is it?
IRREFUTABLE SCIENTIFIC PROOF IT COULD NOT BE A MISSILE
Even if the Spiral was positioned just past the mountains in the below photograph, as it appears to be, the missile exhaust would need to be rotating more than twice as fast as the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth -- which was clocked at 318 miles per hour, in the middle of a tornado!
The story begins with a video by Kevin Martin, who was the first to demonstrate, via his clever investigative work with Google Earth, exactly where the mountains in the following photograph are located. It is a delicious irony that the hard work of a dedicated skeptic provided the very data that completely destroys the official cover-up story, once and for all -- even as he was stridently hoping to defend it.
Kevin's video, where he argues in favor of the official explanation, can be watched here. As this 100-percent verbatim transcript reveals, he takes a condescending, strangely inarticulate and thus inadvertently humorous pot-shot against anyone who thinks it is other than a missile (this may be why comments are disabled on the video):
Looks beautiful, but this has been completely explained.
It boggles the mind how high the percent of human intelligence cannot pick out simple explanations like this.
We must be bored, or we feel like we are higher in life than we actually are.
If we continue to think this way in large numbers, we will never expand past the era we are in now.
Considering the future is we are still in the dark ages.
Time to think logically, people.
Ninety percent of human brains cannot compute fluid dynamics, location physics and depth perception. This is Kevin Martin, meteorologist, reporting for the Southern California weather authority.
Well, I'm bored enough to compute some location physics -- how about you?
(No offense to Kevin Martin. Without your excellent research, we might never have gained the critical data needed to disprove the official explanation! Challenge the data itself, rather than lobbing sophomoric insults at your audience... and the truth will stand on its own!)
THE WHITE SEA IS ALMOST A THOUSAND KILOMETERS AWAY
In the aforementioned video, Kevin used the position of the visible mountain range in the photo to determine that the White Sea, where the alleged Russian missile was launched, was indeed in the same general direction as the Spiral appears in the photograph.
In his new paper, our correspondent Amini plotted out, on a map, where the alleged missile launch took place in the White Sea. The important point here is the distance involved -- namely 971.26 kilometers, or a little over 600 miles:
The first thing that jumps out here is that if the missile malfunctioned over the White Sea as reported, it should have been visible in northern Russia, Finland and Sweden as well as Norway -- yet the island of Tromsø, at point A, was where it was the most visible, and no sightings were reported in Finland or Russia.
NORWEGIAN MOUNTAIN RANGE 100 TIMES CLOSER
The mountain Kevin Martin found via Google Earth is fully 100 times closer than the White Sea -- at 9.63 kilometers (5.98 miles) compared to 971.26 kilometers (603.5 miles):
MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE SPIRAL TO BE A MISSILE AT EITHER OF THOSE DISTANCES
Now that we've (ahem) computed the location physics, let's hear from Amini in his own words -- first from the introduction and then the conclusion of this very thorough research paper(emphasis added):
On the morning of December 9th, reports of strange, spinning spirals flooded the internet and media outlets. They have come to be known as the “Norway Spirals”.
Though popularly attributed to a failed test-launch of a Russian “RSM-56 Bulava” Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM), it can be shown with some basic trigonometry that this explanation is physically impossible.
From a single, time-lapsed photo and any one of the many videos of the spirals, the speed at which the “ripples” caused by the phenomena propagate can be calculated at two limits:
1) In the lower limit, the spiral is taken to be directly over the mountain in the photograph (9.63km away) and the velocity of the “ripple” propagation is approximately 316.8m/s.
2) In the upper limit, the spiral is taken to be directly over the White Sea (971km away) and the velocity of the “ripple” propagation is found to be approximately 32,873m/s.
It is assumed that the missile, the alleged cause of the spirals, would be somewhere between these two points at the moment of the malfunction. Yet, these velocities suggest that the observed “ripples” cannot be smoke -- and therefore the spiral could not be caused by a missile.
GETTING DOWN TO THE NUMBERS -- IT JUST SPINS MUCH TOO FAST
After Amini goes through a series of straightforward mathematical proofs, working in the fact that the Spiral rotates at about one cycle per second, as seen in the various videos, he calculates how fast the missile exhaust would have to be spinning -- both at the "lower limit" distance of 9.63 kilometers and the "upper limit" of 971.26 kilometers.
Here's the problem -- even if the Spiral were only at the "lower limit" of 9.63 kilometers away -- just past the other side of the mountain, as it clearly appears to be in the photograph -- the rotational speed of the arms would still be seven hundred and ten miles per hour -- which is over twice as fast as the greatest wind speed ever recorded in human history! (emphasis added):
The lower limit velocity of 316.58m/s is equivalent to about 710mph. This is over twice the 318mph world record for the fastest wind speed recorded (which was caused by a tornado).
The speed of the “ripple” propagation at the lower limit is far greater than any particulate could travel in the atmosphere.
Furthermore, the “ripples” move away from the center of the spiral with a near constant speed. Particulates moving at such speeds should dissipate quite rapidly.
This impossible speed is calculated as if the spiral's center were above the mountain. And yet, the further away we assume the spiral is, the larger the speed of the “ripples.”...
There is no physically possible distance at which a missile could be the cause of the spirals in question.
Now what the hell is going on here? A missile could not have created the Norway Spiral. There is no longer any question about this. It is a scientific fact.
We will explore this connection further on the next 'page' of this Report -- entitled The Norway Spiral Explained.

How to Digitally Record/Video a UFO sighting:
Como registar digitalmente ou gravar um vídeo de um avistamento de um UFO:
Stabilize the camera on a tripod. If there is no tripod, then set it on top of a stable, flat surface. If that is not possible lean against a wall to stabilize your body and prevent the camera from filming in a shaky, unsteady manner.
Estabilize a camera com um tripé. Se não tiver um tripé, então coloque-a em cima de uma superfície estável. Se não for possível, então encoste-se a uma parede para estabilizar o corpo e evitar que a camera registe de maneira tremida e instável.
Provide visual reference points for comparison. This includes the horizon, treetops, lampposts, houses, and geographical landmarks (i.e., Horsetooth Reservoir, Mt. Adams, etc.) Provide this in the video whenever is appropriate and doesn’t detract from what your focus is, the UFO.
Forneça pontos visuais de referência para comparação. Isso inclui o horizonte, cimo das árvores, postes de iluminação, pontos de referência geográficos (como o Reservatório de Horsetooth, Mone Adams, etc) Forneça esses pontos no vídeo sempre que for apropriado e não se distraia do que é o seu foco, o UFO/a Nave.
Narrate your videotape. Provide details of the date, time, location, and direction (N,S,E,W) you are looking in. Provide your observations on the weather, including approximate temperature, windspeed, any visible cloud cover or noticeable weather anomalies or events. Narrate on the shape, size, color, movements, approximate altitude of the UFO, etc and what it appears to be doing. Also include any unusual physical, psychological or emotional sensations you might have. Narrate any visual reference points on camera so they correlate with what the viewer will see, and thereby will be better able to understand.
Faça a narração do vídeo. Forneça pormenores sobre a data, hora, local e direcção (Norte, Sul, Este, Oeste) que está a observar. Faça observações sobre as condições atmosféricas, incluindo a temperatura aproximada, velocidade do vento, quantidade de nuvens, anomalias ou acontecimentos meteorológicos evidentes. Descreva a forma, o tamanho, a cor, os movimentos, a altitude aproximada onde se encontra o UFO/nave, etc e o que aparenta estar a fazer. Inclua também quaisquer aspectos pouco habituais de sensações físicas, psicológicas ou emocionais que possa ter. Faça a narração de todos os pontos de referência visual que o espectador irá ver e que, deste modo, será capaz de compreender melhor.
Be persistent and consistent. Return to the scene to videotape and record at this same location. If you have been successful once, the UFO sightings may be occurring in this region regularly, perhaps for specific reasons unknown, and you may be successful again. You may also wish to return to the same location at a different time of day (daylight hours) for better orientation and reference. Film just a minute or two under “normal” circumstances for comparison. Write down what you remember immediately after. As soon as you are done recording the experience/event, immediately write down your impressions, memories, thoughts, emotions, etc. so it is on the record in writing. If there were other witnesses, have them independently record their own impressions, thoughts, etc. Include in this exercise any drawings, sketches, or diagrams. Make sure you date and sign your documentation.
Seja persistente e não contraditório. Volte ao local da cena e registe o mesmo local. Se foi bem sucedido uma vez, pode ser que nessa região ocorram avistamentos de UFOs/naves com regularidade, talvez por razões específicas desconhecidas, e talvez possa ser novamente bem sucedido. Pode também desejar voltar ao mesmo lugar a horas diferentes do dia (durante as horas de luz)para ter uma orientação e referência melhor. Filme apenas um ,inuto ou dois em circunstâncias “normais” para ter um termo de comparação. Escreva tudo o que viu imediatamente após o acontecimento. Logo após ter feito o registo da experiência/acontecimento, escreva imediatamente as impressões, memórias, pensamentos, emoções, etc para que fiquem registadas por escrito. Se houver outras testemunhas, peça-lhes para registar independentemente as suas próprias impressões, pensamentos, etc. Inclua quaisquer desenhos, esbolos, diagramas. Certifique-se que data e assina o seu documento/testemunho.
Always be prepared. Have a digital camera or better yet a video camera with you, charged and ready to go, at all times. Make sure you know how to use your camera (and your cell phone video/photo camera) quickly and properly. These events can occur suddenly, unexpectedly, and often quite randomly, so you will need to be prepared.
Esteja sempre preparado, Tenha sempre uma camera digital, melhor ainda, uma camera vídeo consigo, carregada e pronta a usar sempre que necessário. Certifique-se que sabe como lidar com a sua camera (ou com o seu celular/camera fotográfica) rápida e adequadamente. Esses acontecimentos podem acontecer súbita e inesperadamente e, por vezes, acidentalmente, por isso, necessita estar preparado.
Look up. Be prepared. Report. Share.

In 1959, Turkish army captain Llhan Durupinar discovered an unusual shape while examining aerial photographs of his country. The smooth shape, larger than a football field, stood out from the rough and rocky terrain at an altitude of 6,300 feet near the Turkish border with Iran. 
Biblical accounts of the Ark describe it as having as many as six levels. The assumed shape of the Ark seems consistent with the bulge [C] in the middle of the object. In fact, as we will soon learn, radar scans of the structure suggest that this bulge is the collapsed debris of these levels.
"Gopher wood" is a misreading and scribal error. "Kopher" wood is correct and means wood (any wood) that is covered with Kopher. Kopher is bitumen. In the Genesis text (6:14), the context is clear. The GPR wood used, (a scribal error) is to be covered in KPR. G and K in Hebrew are so similar that inexperienced Hebrew "scholars," such as those translating the King James Version of the Bible, could have been prone to such errors, indeed, they made many such errors.
