Alien Encounters: Disney UFO Video Raises Questions

  • "Mankind is in the midst of the most profound event in history – actual contact with intelligent life from other planets. For nearly 50 years, officials have been documenting routine alien encounters here on earth, and thousands of people have seen or experienced this alien presence. Yet many others still refuse to acknowledge the obvious evidence all around them. From beyond the boundaries of our perceptions, intelligent beings are beckoning mankind to join the galactic community."
    -- Walt Disney Television special on aliens and UFOs titled Alien Encounters


    Dear friends,

    In March of 1995, Walt Disney Television aired a most intriguing one-hour television special on UFOs titled Alien Encounters from New Tomorrowland. This highly unusual UFO video special presents UFOs and alien visitation to our planet as a matter of fact. Though the film's existence is acknowledged by the respected website of the Internet Movie Database, you will not find it available anywhere for purchase.

    Those who tracked this incredible production state that it was shown only once, and with no advance notice on stations in only five US cities. Thanks to a viewer who was able to roll the VCR and capture it, we have a record of the startling statements it contained. You can watch this fascinating 45-minute program at the link below.

    At first glance, this unique Disney television special appears to be an elaborate promotion of a scary New Tomorrowland ride on alien encounters which was about to open at Disney World. But on closer inspection, it is much more. The entire program, which opens with a short segment by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, does not even question the existence of UFOs and a major UFO cover-up. In fact, at times it has a tone of ridicule towards those who still deny the existence of UFOs.

    Considering the very limited showing and audience, and the highly unusual stance on UFOs taken, many suspect that this program was a probe to measure public reaction to news of the reality of visitation and interaction with various forms of non-human intelligent life on Earth. The 10-minute section on alien abductions seems particularly designed to scare viewers. For information that the abduction phenomenon may not be as scary as presented in this film, read about the thought-provoking documentary Touched, based on the careful research of Harvard Professor John Mack at this link. Or watch it online here.

    Besides watching this most amazing Disney UFO video at the above link, select excerpts from the intriguing program are also available in a partial transcript below. And at the bottom of this message you can find a box with excellent suggestions on what you can do to further educate yourself and others on this intriguing topic, and how to make a difference by spreading the word.

    UFO Video Special Excerpts: Alien Encounters From New Tomorrowland

    Key excerpts from a transcript of the UFO video special Alien Encounters From New Tomorrowland. All quotes were spoken by host/narrator Robert Urich unless otherwise noted. Remember, Disney CEO Michael Eisner and program narrator Robert Urich delivered these quotes with straight, matter-of-fact, totally serious cadence and inflection, as you can see in the video we've posted at the link above.


    Robert Urich [Intro sequence over various UFO photos and film]: This is not swamp gas. It is not a flock of birds. This is an actual spacecraft from another world, piloted by alien intelligence – one sighting from tens of thousands made over the last fifty years on virtually every continent on the globe. Intelligent life from distant galaxies is now attempting to make open contact with the human race. And tonight, we'll show you the evidence.

    Disney CEO Michael Eisner [standing in front of what looks like a military hangar, guarded by armed troops]: Tonight we celebrate the New Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World in Florida with a television special that's out of this world. Hello, I'm Michael Eisner, head of the Walt Disney Company.

    At a top secret military installation somewhere in the United States, there are those who believe that the government is hiding the remains of an alien spacecraft that mysteriously crashed to earth. With more and more scientific evidence of alien encounters and UFO sightings, the idea of creatures from another planet might not be as far-fetched as we once thought. In fact, one of you out there could have the next alien encounter. Enjoy tonight's special. I'm going to walk over and see if I can sneak a peak. [soldiers raise weapons] Maybe not!

    Robert Urich: Scientific verification of extraterrestrial life forms routinely arriving on earth; top secret reports from ongoing military investigations; compelling home videos of alien craft captured within the last few months; world figures who have gone public with their own extraterrestrial experiences; the shocking history of government misinformation programs designed to prevent widespread panic; and personal accounts of those who have been abducted and studied against their will.

    From beyond the boundaries of our perceptions, intelligent beings are beckoning mankind to join the galactic community. It's an invitation which is both wondrous and terrifying. This is the nature of alien encounters.

    Mankind has the unique ability to ignore the obvious, especially when the facts reveal a disturbing truth. We once believed the sun revolved around the Earth. When Galileo demonstrated the reverse is true in 1634, he was charged with heresy and placed under house arrest for the last eight years of his life. The charges were later dropped – 342 years later.

    Now as we approach the new millennium, mankind is in the midst of the most profound event in history – actual contact with intelligent life from other planets. For nearly 50 years, officials have been documenting routine alien encounters here on earth, and thousands of people have seen or experienced this alien presence.

    Yet many others still refuse to acknowledge the obvious evidence all around them. What is it like to be confronted by a creature whose intelligence and skill is far beyond the comprehension of mankind? Would it be enlightening? Would it be an exercise in terror? Or perhaps both?

    Here in the New Tomorrowland at the Walt Disney World resort near Orlando, Florida, these concepts are brought to life as guests experience their own alien encounter, a sensory thriller from Disney and George Lukas. We'll give you a sneak preview later in the show. But first, we must prepare you for the future with some shocking insights from the recent past.

    Alien ships seem to arrive in waves, and if the last few years are any indication, planet Earth is experiencing a tsunami of sightings. For the last few months of 1994 and lately in 1995, Gulf Breeze, Florida has been ground zero for alien encounters. Especially during the day, extraterrestrial craft have become common ornaments in the uneasy skies. You would think these alien sightings would be front-page news. So why have they received almost no national attention? The answer is simple. For governments determined to maintain their authority, extraterrestrial contact is pure dynamite.

    Capt. Kevin Randle (retired air force intelligence officer): There's beings from another planet. We don't know where they come from. We don't know what they're doing here. There's nothing we can do about it. Any time a technologically superior civilization comes in contact with a technologically inferior civilization, the technologically inferior civilization ceases to exist – not necessarily through conquest, not necessarily through invasion, but because the technology changes the underlying social structures of that civilization, and it disintegrates.

    Urich: Those fears are reflected in a 1960 federally funded study by the Brookings Institution, which warned that public knowledge of alien life could cause civilization to collapse.

    Why have aliens chosen to visit our small blue planet, hidden on the distant fringes of an insignificant star cluster? Well, we invited them here.

    There have been reports of alien encounters throughout recorded history. But since the end of World War II, alien encounters have adopted a darker, more menacing demeanor. No longer just spirited lights dancing in the sky, UFOs turned more brazen, announcing themselves with surprising ferocity.

    Most alien activity on earth in this century seems to have been sparked by the single most profound technological achievement in human history. The atomic bomb did more than blow away every conventional notion of combat. It also saddled mankind with the awesome responsibility of life and death for the entire planet.

    But what the world didn't know in 1945 was that the atomic bomb's brilliant burst of energy would also be mankind's cosmic calling card, announcing to the universe that a technological society had evolved on a small blue planet in the backwaters of the stars. So as the world celebrated the war's end in 1945, aliens who heard man's atomic trumpet were already charting their course toward earth, responding to our open invitation.

    As early as 1947, the large alien ships began to arrive, navigated by living creatures. Their advanced physics allowed them to traverse the galaxy and pierce earth's atmosphere with amazing speed. The U.S. military immediately went on the alert against the unknown menace. Sightings were perceived as threats to the security of an America still reeling from the edgy consciousness of war. And the sightings were taking place all across the country.

    More than one alien craft crashed and was recovered for secret U.S. military research. The most famous case took place in July of 1947 just outside the community of Roswell, New Mexico – famous, because local officials openly admitted they had retrieved an alien ship before their commanders instructed them to keep the story confidential. What you can't explain, they reasoned, you must deny.

    This is the actual site where the Roswell saucer was discovered, along with the bodies of three extraterrestrial missionaries who didn't survive the collision. The debris and the dead were impounded and taken away for top secret study, while a classified investigative committee called the Majestic Twelve was organized by President Truman, and a government cover-up was initiated with a calculated disinformation campaign.

    But while the Pentagon refused to publicly admit aliens had arrived on earth, their top secret internal memos told a different story, even detailing the various ships and the creatures they had autopsied.

    By the early 1960s, UFOs were having a chilling effect on our defense operations. Their tremendous speed often caused them to be misidentified as incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles, putting American air bases on red alert. There needed to be some way for the U.S. and the Soviets to distinguish between nuclear attack and alien visitors.

    Clifford Stone [retired army officer]: The Hot Line between Moscow and Washington was set up so that they could go ahead and make last-minute pleas, that "We're not attacking you, and you're not attacking us." The purpose of this was to insure that a nuclear war would not be touched off by a UFO appearing on the scopes and being mistaken for enemy aircraft.

    Urich: The Hot Line eased some international tensions, but it didn't halt the interaction between the military and the aliens, which continues to this day.

    Stone: [In] November of 1975, essentially every SAC [Strategic Air Command] base in the United States was visited by UFOs. We have reason to believe that the UFOs went ahead and had some effect on changing the codes within the missiles, within the launch control facility, to change where the missiles would hit.

    1976, September, Iran, two F-4s try to intercept a UFO and shoot at one of the UFOs. The weapons systems of the planes go dead, the communications systems go dead. These are just two examples of cases which sound like they came out of science fiction, but in reality, they're from government documentation, documents released by the State Department.

    Urich: Indications are that government, military and scientific leaders will soon release nearly a half-century of official documentation of ongoing alien encounters on earth. Perhaps they feel it would be too embarrassing not to reveal the truth, before the truth reveals itself. But these FBI files acquired through the Freedom of Information Act outline nearly fifty years of UFO reports investigated by federal agents all across America, overwhelming evidence that something sinister is at work.

    This particular report from October of 1969 was filled out by Jimmy Carter. He was still Governor of Georgia at the time he witnessed a luminous object suspended in the twilight sky. Later, when he assumed the office of President of the United States, his staff attempted to explore the availability of official investigations into alien contact. As this internal government memo illustrates, there are some security secrets outside the jurisdiction of the White House.

    Planet earth has always been a laboratory for alien life forms which can drop in from space or slowly mutate into bizarre fleshy organisms at our feet [holding a large mushroom]. Understanding the nature of these strange creatures from above, and below, is the greatest challenge of our age. We now know that our future, indeed the future of earth itself, rests in the balance of the solid and the ethereal, of common sense and the irrational, in our relationship with alien life as grotesque as a fungus, or as glorious as the heavens.

Our Wholistic Future

Posted by edina on August 23, 2010 at 8:44pm
Our Wholistic Future
A cool feature of the ECC ning is that we can incorporate a wide range
of perspectives in how we explore what is going on the world, gather
evidence, and piece together the big picture puzzle, all, while we seek for the
Truth, of who we are, where we've come from, and where we are going.

With this in mind, I wanted to share that I've noticed many of us here at the ECC Ning are
spontaneously using a wholistic model in how we choose to live toward
our future. While we are concerned about the typical "beans,
band-aids, and bullets", or the "keeping-our-bodies-alive", style of living, it
seems to me that we consistently consider our larger selves, our whole
selves, in our living.
Many of the spiritual, and ET sources of counsel that we have been
listening to talk about how it is important that we understand that we are
multi-dimensional beings rather than just a collection of minerals that
we call bodies, clothed in a personality, with maybe a soul hanging around
somewhere.

The PEMS model is the one I have seen most. PEMS, for our four bodies,
or layers of being.
P - Physical body/self
E - Emotional body/self
M - Mental body/self
S - Spiritual body/self

In addition to the PEMS model I want to add, our communal self, global self, nature/natural self, cultural self, creative self, co-creative self. I fully anticipate that this wide range of our whole being will be discussed within our active planning for the future. And I want to welcome this thinking into our discussions here.

With this in mind, I wonder, what do you envision as the highest potential for humanity in our emerging reality?

Why Talking IS Learning

Posted by edina on August 23, 2010 at 8:00pm
Why Talking IS Learning
I have to be real honest with you guys. I was very influenced by Edgar
Cayce, his readings, and his Search for God material. I was exposed to
his brand of thinking while I was still in elementary school. And EC was
a very practical guy. He founded the ARE, Association for Research and
Enlightenment, with a heavy emphasis on practical spirituality, healing,
and research. One of his many guiding principles that most shaped my
own thinking is his counsel to bring everything into practical
application.

He would often say, "Wisdom is knowledge applied." The whole point in
learning anything was to become changed by your learning, and to live it
out on a day by day, moment by moment basis. EC was big into personal
response-ability. In the end, we choose our responses, it is about the
only place in our lives where we have any real control. At least, for
now....

There are tons of upsides to this emphasis on practical application, and
personal responsibility. And there are likewise, some downsides. One of
the downsides that I have noticed is that when we become influenced by
this mindset in an imbalanced way, we become impatient, or intolerant,
of the larger learning process that human beings go through, while we
are learning to put principles into action. In short, we think everyone
learns the way we do. And this is not true.

We each have our own unique learning style. And to make this even more
muddier, we have different learning styles at the various and different
learning stages we may go through. I tend to over gather information
before I move into the action phase. Other people are completely
impatient with the information gathering stage, skip it entirely, and
jump straight into action, learning by trial and by jumping into the
fire, so to speak. I use a lot of personal feedback processes in my
learning. Other people learn by teaching, even if they do not know what
they are teaching, they are learn by teaching, it is their particular
learning style.

I'm very kinesthetic, and often timid. When it comes time to do the
actions I will want to be left alone, so I can observe myself, what I am
doing, how it all feels, where I get stuck, how I can improve, and so
on. Visuals are helpful, but I cannot anchor the learning until I've
done it.

It's important to understand our selves and our differences in how
we learn, and to be patient with our differences.

One of the universal ways that all humans learn to by engaging the
self-expression and feedback loops circuits in our brains. The part of
our brain that learns is the part of the brain that expresses. This is
why we talk so much about what we are learning. It is because talking is
learning, we are wired this way. Regardless of where we are at in our stage of
learning, preparing, or maturing in our expressions, it is through self-expression, by either
talking, writing, journaling, creating, and doing that we will anchor
our learning. These are all very physical processes. And the only way we
can anchor our soul growth is through the physical expression of it.

For those of you who would like some more very simple information on how
we learn, and the expression circuit/feedback loop please check out The
Einstein Factor. If you go to Amazon, search inside the book, and
search the word "expression" then you will find on pages 62-65 a super
simple, effective description of what I am talking about. "

So, here's to talking with you, in the days to come.

We are Where We Are, and it is ALL Good

Posted by edina on August 23, 2010 at 7:47pm
We are Where We Are, and it is ALL Good

I don't know about anyone else, but I know that for me, I keep catching
myself thinking that I should, or ought, to be further along in my
preparation process. I continually remind myself, every day, some times,
several times a day, that I am doing the best I know how to do, and I
try to encourage myself to trust this. I'd like to do the same for you.
And I know, when I feel overwhelmed, tired, or uncertain, I very much
appreciate it when someone else around me encourages me with this
perspective.

Each of us will be coming at these changes from our own unique situation
in life, with our own unique sense of purpose, meaning, and direction.
We are not cookie cutter images of each other, and we are real live
perfectly, imperfect human beings. With this said, I do not believe
their is a right, or wrong way to become prepared for living in emerging
reality.

Most of my present planning will look more like homesteading, and
sustainable living, because this is where I am at right now. Another
person may be just beginning to think about their prep plans,
they may be here listing items for there GOOD bags. Some people here
will be brainstorming their exit strategies from the cities, or to
another country. We may have people in this group who have decided to
live a mobile lifestyle in the AfterTime, so the sort of prep planning
they will do will look very different from the person that is setting up
a remote retreat. It would be interesting to meet the person who has
decided that they will be travelling back into the cities to help with
trauma, and first aid.

Each of us came to make a unique contribution to ourfuture. Our prep plans, and the lives we are preparing to live in the AfterTime will reflect this. We can learn from each other,
and honor our differences at the same time.

We are where we are, and it is ALL good. This is the only way we can be.

Reality Checks

Posted by edina on August 23, 2010 at 7:30pm
Reality Checks
This is one of the biggest problems, or road blocks I continue to bump
into in my preparations. Every day, as I try to apply what I've been
learning I run into reality checks. I'm discovering a huge disconnect in
how I imagine it is to do certain things, or live a certain way, and
the reality of actually, physically doing the task, and living the
lifestyle.

I know this is the area where I most need support. The AfterTime
Lifestyle is physically demanding. It is a very physical lifestyle.
Almost everything about this lifestyle, is time-intensive, and
labor-intensive. There is quite a gap between how we live in our modern
culture, and the culture that is emerging all around us.

There will be many among us who will chose to move on and out of the
physical expression during this transition. They will be supporting
those of us who have chosen, at the soul level to stay, and help birth
our emerging culture, and human experience. For the ones of us that will
continue in our physical expression, this issue of bridging the reality
gaps is going to require us to be strong, focussed, unified, and clear
in our honesty. The sooner we can learn from, face, and adapt to the
many, many reality checks we will be experiencing, the better we will be
able to help others do the same.

I encourage everyone to share their learning experiences. The "real nitty
gritty, I-ain't-so-pretty", experiences. It is my hope that we can
smooth the rough edges of the reality checks by sharing them in
honest, open, and genuine ways.

AfterTime Living (ATL) General Introduction

Posted by edina on August 23, 2010 at 7:00pm
Hi!!! :-)
Welcome to the AfterTime Living Group!!
This group was set up for people who feel they are ready to explore in-depth, the
actions that they can take today, now, in their daily lives to prepare,
not only for Surviving a Civilisation Changing Cataclysm, but for
LIVING Life after such an event.

It is set up for you to have a place to sort out, to think out loud,
your unique life situations, and to customise your own preparation plans,
according to your sense of mission, or purpose. And to
PLAN on how you're going to LIVE in the AfterTime.

The Survival Group, and Food Storage group are spaces where anyone can
read, or post general survival/food storage information. We want to keep
those spaces fairly neat, so it is easier for people to gather information.

Once, you're ready to move beyond info-gathering, then you can come here
and start making this information your own. In mulling this over, we
decided to separate these two processes. You will notice a lot of
cross links between these groups, but this one will be much more messy,
and free for all, brain storming, solution-storming, bouncing ideas off
of each other, and all the wonderful creative chaotic ways in which we
each learn how to take book/intellectual knowledge and apply it to our
lives, right here, right now.

The Big Focus here is to make this information your own, and to
start living the changes we will all eventually need to make now, as we
can, in the context of our everyday lives.

To help put everyone on the same page, or as much as possible, I've
created fives posts for you to look at. After you've looked at these
posts, come back here, copy the questions below, share with us your
point of view, and add any more relevant info you would like to
introduce to us. I've done one myself so you can get some ideas as to
how you might want to do your intro to this group

Let's have fun, getting to know each other, helping each other, and
becoming prepared humans!!!!

Community Crisis Planning for Societal Collapse, by JIR @ SurvivalBlog

Posted by edina on August 23, 2010 at 9:09am
Here's another post from SurvivalBlog that may be relevant to some of the conversations we've been having here.
This is a long post. I'm printing it and will be studying over the next week, or so. To help me continue to make plans on what I will do in this sort of scenario in the future.

I'm posting it here for others, who may be interested in doing the same thing where they live:

http://www.survivalblog.com/2010/08/community_crisis_planning_for.html

FIREBALL ON JUPITER

Posted by Amy Evans on August 22, 2010 at 7:51pm

FIREBALL ON JUPITER: On August 20th at 18:22 UT, amateur astronomer Masayuki Tachikawa of Kumamoto city, Japan, video-recorded an apparent impact on Jupiter. Click on the image to view a movie of the fireball:

jupiterimpact__strip.jpg

This is the third time in only 13 months that amateur astronomers have detected signs of impact on Jupiter. The earlier events occured on July 19, 2009, and June 3, 2010. This weekend's impact, if that's what it was, has not been confirmed by multiple observers, but it resembles the uncontroversial impact of June 3, 2010, and appears to be genuine.

"Like the event of June 3rd, this fireball did not produce any visible debris," notes John Rogers, director of the British Astronomical Association's Jupiter section. "Here are some hi-resolution images taken 1-2 rotations before and 1-2 rotations after the event. As the observers commented, there was no visible mark (not in RGB, nor UV, nor methane), post-impact. Dark brown spots on the North Equatorial Belt were already there before the fireball."

Stay tuned for updates!
