George Dyson on Project Orion

Never heard of Project Orion before, but the idea of a hotel sized space craft lifting off from earth is to cool.

George Dyson in the video below briefly explains the projects history and details.

Should make for some good rainy research.

Bigfoot Wars on Mars while Freeman Portals in Controversy

After a week and a half of neglecting my feed reader and with my bookmark blitz over I think it's time to take a look at what's been going on.

Arse!!! this is going to take ages... no probs, I'm cool wit it.

So apparently it's easier to photograph Bigfoot strolling around on mars. It does look like some sort of relic, but it's so just a natural rock formation, isn't it? Update: the things probably really tiny, like 10 inches tiny.

This headline stood out, Ancient Bigfoot Wars, great idea and I'd like to think they did so along side Jedi. Seriously though could it be possible?

The World’s Most Infamous Staged Photos, informative article about photo manipulation, not the photoshop kind but the misleading kind, includes some very famous images.

Now I'm freaked out by mice as much as the next person but the idea of a bull sized rodent would actually make that fear logical.

Wow not as much as I thought there would be, I'll leave y'all with a very special call-in to Coast to Coast AM from the one and only Gordon Freeman.

UFOs in NASA photos.

(via NASA)

Your typical NASA mission photo, hang on, what's that streak of light near the bottom?
That's why I like NASA, they let you use their images freely, well almost.

Not sure what it could be, debris, reflection, a UFO, don't can't remember where I came across it.

I bookmarked this in 2006 also, so many bookmarks.

Secret NASA Transmissions - Smoking Gun

Secret NASA Transmissions - Smoking Gun is one of those UFO films that if you're interested in the subject you should really watch, a vast majority of the NASA UFO footage comes about because of the guy interviewed in this film Martin Stubbs. Martin Stubbs is or was a cable TV station manager in Vancouver, he used the facilities to hook up to NASA transmissions and in what seems like a massive undertaking has screened through probably thousands of hours of footage looking for UFO phenomena.

From the footage compiled you get to see how painstaking that task would have been and without this guys dedication many of it may have gone unnoticed.

Tether footage featured in the film.


The film I feel is actually just a little bit to long, I watched it quite awhile ago and at the moment I'm struggling to watch it again, but it is very interesting and if you've seen the many unorganized NASA UFO clips floating around on youtube, it's nice to have them in context and to know why and how they came about.

I feel this film is a great starting point if your interested in this area of ufology and the NASA transmissions, it saves time looking for information on small clips putting them all together with a common origin.

Notes: I haven't been able to find any solid in depth info about Martin Stubbs, mostly brief mentions in relation to the film, would really like to know more about this guy. I'm also wondering if there's an official site for the film, seems like there should be.

UFO falling in the Dessert

The video below is not of a UFO, though I've seen it described as one many times. It's footage of the Genesis space capsule that crashed to earth in the Utah desert 2004 after its parachutes failed to deploy.

I remember when I first saw the footage out of context, I thought the news was reporting on an actual UFO crash, then I turned up the volume.

I guess if one was to mistake a bit of footage as a UFO this would be a great example.

Where Shooting Stars come from

Thought this was pretty funny and informative, I guess the man speaking is an astronaut, he's explaining how the go potty in space.

How Shooting Stars are Made

The Lucifer Project, a new sun for me and you

I don't really get into talking about conspiracy theories here on MPL, mainly because for me to make any informed opinion about them I would need to spend a lot of time researching the subject.

This one is different, it has a spiffy video to show supposedly what happened a few years back.


So the conspiracy is this, the Galileo Space probe was flung into Jupiter, it had plutonium on board, it exploded and left a big black earth sized dot on Jupiter. The second part to this conspiracy theory is that NASA is planning on doing it again with the Cassini Space Probe, it is said to have about 3 times more plutonium on board than Galileo, this time however the target is Saturn. Saturn's atmosphere is almost entirely Hydrogen and the theory is that it will explode like an H-Bomb, a very big one, in effect creating a new sun.

I've only just heard about this and the above is the gist of what I know. If you want to know more about this you could attempt to read through this explanation of the Lucifer project, I didn't, please tell me if it's any good, hehe.

This also has more info about the Galileo Probe Will Galileo Make Jupiter a Star?, which attempts to debunk the theories and seeing it was written for what has already happened, I guess they were right.

Conspiracy theories aye, make great movies, I'd definitely go see this one. I now know why I don't write about them here, they seem to get wildly out of hand with so much information either way, they make for great reading and most of the time long reading.

I had another reason for posting this, I read that the youtube version of the video was taken down by request from NASA, geez more conspiracy theories.

Rockets or Wormholes, two new videos

I just came across a couple of videos that look pretty much identical to two other videos that I have posted before which are Video of a spiraling UFO over Russia and Vandenberg Missile Test or UFO Wormhole both those videos showed a small bright object with a big,long cloudy trail behind them and so do the two below.

Seems to be a pretty common occurrence, very spectacular to behold though.

UFO Sighting Near Area 51

UFO Sighting near Area 51

The video above is said have been shot in 2002 on a trip to Yosemite Park, the description that came with the video says it's near Area51. UFO or Rocket, well it is a UFO, it's unidentified, it's flying and it's an object. Either way it is a very beautiful piece of video.

Missile Test Or Something Else?

Missile Test Or Something Else?

This video is a little different, you don't really get a steady view of it, very shaky. The one thing that gets me is why is the trail so dang bright. It's also said to have been shot near Area51.

All in all, Rockets of UFOs, they're pretty amazing videos what ever they are.

NASA methane rocket engine Test firing Video

As i have mentioned before on MPL, I know next to nothing about rockets, but this video of NASA testing a new rocket fueled by methane was pretty cool. The gist of the write up goes into why they are exploring methane as an option, which include that's it's easier to work with than more traditional rocket fuels and that it can be sustained and created off planet, meaning that they are able to make pit stops on other planets to harvest methane and refuel.

The video is pretty brief, it shows the rocket igniting and has a very beautiful blue flame.

Return to the Moon Trailer from NASA

I just saw this on a CG forum, thought it may be of interest to some.

Couldn't find any info on it at the NASA site, just the link to watch the video.

The CG elements are alright, if not a little old school. It plays out like a trailer for a Hollywood movie.
