NASA/JPL Moon and Mars Photos: An Unappreciated Resource in the Battle for Disclosure
For almost as long as human beings have been sending artificial satellites into the stratosphere, then into deeper space, we have been sending up artificial satellites which carry cameras. These invaluable tools now routinely capture the formation of galaxies as well as the surfaces of neighboring and distant planets, moons, and asteroids.
We both learn from such photographs and appreciate them for their wonder and beauty. But among the countless images taken from spacecraft over the past decades, there is a small archive’s worth which NASA/JPL prefers we not dwell on, the ones which seem to show the presence of intentional structures, intelligent activity, even objects on the surfaces of the Moon, Mars, Mars’ moon Phobos, and the occasional asteroid. Such images started coming to public attention in the sixties with a core of outstanding researchers involved along the way.
​
Not surprisingly, and much in the manner that problematic UFO photos have been responded to by officialdom since 1947, any seeming anomalies lurking on planetary or lunar bodies remain explainable by NASA in either photographic or scientific terms. Even if they really cannot be explained. In this presentation, Peter Robbins turns, or returns our attention to this extremely important area of investigation. In this Photoshop-driven era, we establish the reliability of the images to be viewed, this as we appreciate that people instinctively like finding recognizable imagery in the randomness of nature, be it in the form of a cloud shaped like a lamb, or in the form of what may or may not be a city on the surface of Mars. If anything, Robbins along with others is convinced there are detectable alterations in some pictures that logically could only have been made prior to their public release.
The implications for humanity represented by these images is obvious. Their place in the Disclosure process can be significant if both their reality and authenticity can be brought to the attention of an increasingly UFO/UAP informed and interested public. To paraphrase the late great nuclear physicist and ufologist Stanton T Friedman, the question is not, do such anomalies represent signs of intentional construction, mining operations, towers, structures, settlements, or bases of one kind or another. The question is, does even a single one of them convincingly demonstrate such allegations? The answer to which is an overwhelming yes. PowerPoint illustrated.

Mindy Tautfest
Dying to Meet Them
While most Near-Death Experiencers return to this plane of existence with alluring tales of their time spent in the presence of the divine, what happens when one crosses the veil into the afterlife and Heaven refuses to answer? What existence truly lies beyond our own expectations? In this gripping true story, author, investigator, and aneurysm survivor Mindy Tautfest reveals the raw and unfettered details of her own chilling encounter in a place of isolating, utter darkness known as The Void. The wife of a Southern Baptist minister, her expectations of a joyous homecoming full of all-encompassing love were shattered when she was instead met with a devastating experience for which she could have never been prepared. Fighting to escape the desolate outer darkness where she had been cast, she would return only to find herself in an equally harsh world with the memories and physical repercussions of death lingering over her as an ever-present shadow.
In this eye-opening book, her research into the Distressing Near-Death Experience phenomenon highlights the major correlations previously found between UFO and Near-Death Experiencers during the Omega Project and takes them a step further, describing them in detail as she personally experienced them. Highlighted are the aspects of the Encounter Prone Personality perceived during childhood, as well as a collection of commonly reported after-effects which consistently result in a positive transformation wherein the experiencer seeks to use their newfound abilities to inform and elevate humanity. Using her investigations and experiences as a guide, Mindy brings new questions to the fields of Ufology and Near-Death studies. Could the Void be the location of an Absolute Source Reality? Are we living inside a cosmic hologram easily entered into by advanced entities? Can human consciousness transcend into other realms where these entities reside? What lessons can we take from the Void? How can the embodiment of nothing, affect our everything?

Debbie Ziegelmeyer
Deepwater Alien Residents
Seventy percent of the Earth is covered by water, yet as stated by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) “We have explored less than 5% of our vast underwater frontier.” Sightings of unidentified aeronautical craft hovering over oceans and seas as well as descending and ascending sometimes at near impossible speeds by our standards, have been documented for centuries. It is time to address the unseen activity of those craft while descended deep below the water surface.
While researching and interviewing witnesses, I discovered that some abductees during hypnotic regression recalled being taken underwater to what they described as underwater bases or cities. Many abductees recall being taken and sometimes being returned. Under regression theory, some recall being submitted to medical exams, are able to describe “strange beings or creatures” and experience missing time. I interviewed multiple abductees, none of which recall the trip to or from where they were taken. I assume this “memory erase” is done as a means of keeping the Earth location, wormhole, or interdimensional access concealed. Diligently, I continued my research and was fortunate to find twelve very documented cases of abductees who describe an ocean and underwater experience.
