"If a million people believe a foolish thing, it is still a foolish
thing." - Anatole France.
Consensus holds no monopoly on the truth. It is human nature to seek
validation of our beliefs and prejudices over accepting the truth.
Dozens of ideas submitted to President Obama's Citizen's Briefing Book
http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov/ advocate UFO disclosure, and
many more comments proclaim that we can handle the truth. If it is not
what we expect to hear, can we really handle the truth? Many of the
ideas and comments already anticipate disclosure of the existence of
extraterrestrials, but what if the truth about UFOs is far more
exotic, but mundane? Let's put our ability to handle the truth to the
test.
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents
and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents
eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with
it." – Max Planck
Consistency between theory and facts is a far better predictor of
truth than consensus. A consistent and comprehensive scientific
explanation does exist of a natural, albeit rare, cause for genuine
UFO phenomenon, and I'll bet you can't handle it. First of all, you
can't handle it because the idea is unfamiliar. Familiarity breeds
understanding, whereas ignorance is self perpetuating. The natural
explanation for UFOs is: antimatter meteors. If you haven't stopped
reading you are already in the minority. My bet is secure. So for the
rest of you, let me explain how antimatter meteors are consistent with
most if not all observed UFO phenomena, and then I'll explain why each
UFO vested interest won't accept it as the truth.
*Antimatter Concepts*
Matter is composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons. Antimatter is
composed of the antiparticles of matter:antiprotons, positrons, and
antineutrons. Particle-antiparticle pairs exhibit equal and opposite
properties of electric charge and magnetic moment, but identical mass.
Mass and energy are equivalent from Einstein's famous equation, E =
mc^2, where energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. A
particle-antiparticle pair annihilate each other and produce two gamma
rays, high energy photons above the range of x-rays. In the other
direction, pair production is the transformation of energy into a
particle-antiparticle pair.
*No Debris Remains at Crash Sites*
When antimatter meteors enter Earth's atmosphere, electrons annihilate
positrons, protons annihilate antiprotons, and free antineutrons decay
into positrons and antiprotons, which get annihilated as stated above.
The end result is that the mass of antimatter meteors is completely
transformed into energy and leaves behind no physical trace to
retrieve as evidence.
*Reflective Metallic Surface*
Electrons are attracted by the electrostatic force to surface
positrons of antimatter meteors, but electrons repel each other by the
same force. In Earth's vicinity, electrons form a reflective bubble
around antimatter. Valence electrons give metal the look of a mirrored
surface. Mirrored orbs fitting this description appear in NASA video
taken during STS-37 http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/04/antigravity-hypothesis-nasa-sts-37.html
and STS-51A http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/04/antigravity-hypothesis-nasa-sts-51a.html
shuttle missions. The electron bubble appears to pop and reform in the
STS-51A video revealing this bubble like property.
*Cloud Like Surface*
Water molecules are electric dipoles. The negative end of water vapor
dipoles is attracted to positrons, which are positive. When antimatter
surface positrons are annihilated they leave behind antiprotons, the
positive end of water vapor dipoles is attracted to antiprotons, which
are negative. Water vapor therefore condenses around antimatter
meteors that then appear cloud like in high humidity environments
http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/07/best-ufo-footage-ever.html. In
low humidity environments like Mexico City the metallic surface
phenomena prevails.
*Glowing Lights*
When matter and antimatter annihilate each other the result is
ionizing gamma radiation. Gamma rays are outside the visible spectrum,
but with Compton scattering air molecules absorb and emit photons of
specific wavelengths. The result is aurora like light effects in the
vicinity of antimatter meteors glowing in the emission spectrum of air
molecules, predominantly nitrogen and degenerate atoms due to
annihilations down to hydrogen.
*Energy Beams*
When electrons are annihilated in the air surrounding antimatter
meteors the residual positive ions become electron attractors. When
electrons flow toward this positive electric potential a cascading
electrostatic discharge happens in the form of lightning. Electrons
flow through gas in florescent and neon tubes and stimulate the
emission of photons, which is the same process in air around
antimatter meteors due to electrostatic discharges. Electrostatic
discharges will occur between ground and an antimatter meteor, or
between a person standing on the ground and an antimatter meteor
http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/04/antigravity-hypothesis-travis-walton.html,
or between an antimatter meteor and an airborne object.
*Passengers Seen on Board*
Any human observer looking at a spheroidal antimatter meteor
surrounded be an electron bubble will see a distorted smaller image of
themselves. Look at the back of a spoon bowl for comparison. The
reflective quality of some UFOs has been described as a dull metallic
gray finish, rather than shiny like a spoon. The shininess is a factor
of the electron bubble density.
*Windows Seen in Crafts*
The reflective electron bubble will reflect anything in the
surrounding environment. At night, people on the ground will see
reflected lights around them. At night streetlights, car headlights
and taillights, and light showing through building windows reflect in
the electron bubble giving the impression of windows in an airborne
craft. Regularly spaced streetlights give the impression of regularly
spaced windows. The aurora like lights also reflect in the electron
bubble, possibly giving the impression of interior lights.
*Disrupting Electronics*
Because antimatter positrons annihilate electrons, an antimatter
meteor near the Earth's surface will disturb electric ground and
disrupt electric currents. When an aircraft is hit by lightning the
electronics are interrupted. This is a similar effect. Ten ballistic
missiles malfunctioned at Malmstrom Air Force Base in conjunction with
the report of a "glowing red object" overhead, which is consistent
with an antimatter meteor disrupting electric ground in a localized
area http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2009/01/antigravity-hypothesis-malmstrom-and.html.
*Radar Reflections*
Electromagnetic radiation does not distinguish between matter and
antimatter. A metallic antimatter meteor will reflect radar
microwaves. However, an electron bubble surrounding a non-metallic
antimatter meteor will also reflect microwaves, but the electron
bubble can pop and reform making radar reflections erratic. Over time
a stationary antimatter meteor will dissolve by annihilations and
disappear. See hovering and breakneck accelerations below, also
observed on radar.
*Hovering*
Hovering is commonly observed in insects, hummingbirds, and
helicopters. But also consider a bird or balloon riding hot air
thermals. Particle-antiparticle pairs exhibit opposite values of
electrostatic charge, positive and negative, and magnetic moment,
north-south pole alignment. For symmetry to fully apply, and in
agreement with UFO observations, matter and antimatter may also
exhibit opposite values of gravitation, gravity and antigravity.
When a matter meteor enters Earth's gravitational pull, it accelerates
and burns up due to air resistance and exhibits a debris tail. In NASA
STS-80 space shuttle video a bright UFO enters frame and into Earth's
atmosphere, decelerates, hovers and then adopts the rotation of the
Earth above cloud level http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/04/antigravity-hypothesis-nasa-sts-80.html.
A second UFO suddenly appears from nowhere in center frame and follows
a parallel course. The distance between the object and space shuttle
camera is greater than the distance between Seattle and Portland, a
three hour freeway drive. No debris tail is observed.
Matter antimatter annihilations produce gamma radiation and explain
the sudden appearance and continuous brightness via Compton scattering
of a far away object, after the antimatter meteor enters Earth's
atmosphere. Deceleration is explained by antigravity and air
resistance. No debris tail is explained by annihilations rather that
vaporizing disintegration that matter exhibits.
Matter gravitationally attracts matter. By symmetry, antimatter must
gravitationally attract antimatter. The gravitational force between
matter and antimatter must be one of three possibilities: attracting,
repelling, or nullifying. Observational evidence indicates that UFOs
somehow resist gravity. Opposite symmetrical electrostatic and
magnetic properties are the rule in particle-antiparticle pair
production. Opposite symmetrical gravitational forces are not outside
the realm of possibility, and are consistent with the observed
properties of UFOs.
*Breakneck Accelerations*
At the level of protons and electrons, the electrostatic force
dominates the gravitational force by an order of magnitude in the
range of ten to the thirty-sixth, or a billion times a billion times a
billion times a billion. When sufficient antimatter positrons are
annihilated by electrons, the remaining antimatter antiprotons are
negatively charged. In the vicinity or a large negative electrostatic
potential like the Earth or lightning, predominantly antiproton
antimatter is electrostatically repelled far beyond the comparatively
weak gravitational force of the Earth. Breakneck accelerations are
often reported in the vertical direction away from the Earth. Jet
Stream air currents, wind shear, and micro-bursts can propel
antimatter to enormous speeds by just going with the air flow.
Antimatter meteors are not immune to air resistance, but seek
equilibrium within their surrounding medium like a balloon.
*Right Angle Turns*
Atmospheric air currents are layered. Hot air balloons navigate but
vertical displacement out of and into these different air currents,
which cause changes in direction. In addition, antimatter meteors
exhibit antigravity properties, which we observe as frictionless
motion like an air hockey puck floating on a cushion of air. Out-
gassing or electrostatic forces can impart a transverse impetus to the
direction of travel making right angle turns possible, which does not
violate Newtonian laws of motion, since a transverse force is
responsible. The intensity of gamma radiation produced by matter
antimatter annihilations makes antimatter meteors appear larger and
closer than they need to be to remain visible. Momentum is a function
of mass. The momentum of a small mass antimatter meteor is easier to
redirect than a larger mass.
*Flying Saucer Shape*
Some UFOs appear saucer shaped with a bulge in the center. Magnetic
field lines around an antimatter ferrous asteroid take on the
configuration of the Van Allen radiation belts around Earth. It is
therefore possible that electrically charged particles trapped in the
toroid shaped magnetic field lines appear to represent the surface of
a saucer shaped craft. Alternatively, when antimatter meteors break
apart antigravity binds the antimatter pieces together, while
collectively opposing gravity. Therefore the antimatter pieces can
take on a rings-of-Saturn configuration. Form an electron bubble
around this internal structure and you get a flying saucer shape.
*Formations*
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke up into a string of smaller comets and
collided with Jupiter in 1994. An antimatter meteor can be composed of
any chemistry found in matter. An antimatter meteor can break up into
many formations: a string of beads, mutually attracting bodies like a
solar system or ring held together by antigravity, or mutually
repelling objects like a star burst pattern when the electrostatic
charge of ions repel each other by sudden changes as ions are formed
or destroyed due to ionizing gamma radiation and annihilations.
*Seemingly Intelligent Control*
The non-ballistic trajectory of antimatter in a gravitational field,
subject to air currents and out-gassing, gives the appearance and
sense of intelligence where none exists. In the case of antimatter
meteors, intelligence resides in the observer or subject, not in the
object. Antimatter meteors pass the UFO equivalent of the Turing Test
for Artificial Intelligence.
The NASA STS-75 "Tether Incident" is heralded by ufologists as the
best evidence for the existence of extraterrestrials to date.
Elsewhere in my blog I cross examine this evidence and support my
conclusion that video tube and zoom lens artifacts record out of focus
foreground ice crystals of water vented from the space shuttle in
micorgravity subject to solar radiation and shadows, and the human eye
confuses luminosity for opacity, which logic dictates is incorrect.
For full details see my blog entry http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/04/nasa-sts-75-ufo-rebuttal.html.
*Ball Lightning*
Antimatter meteors are composed of the same stuff as interplanetary
matter. In the intense heat of gamma radiation, antimatter comets
vaporize into droplets. The increased surface area and therefore air
fuel mixture increases the rate of annihilations and ionizing gamma
radiation produced. The result is a hovering, glowing, sputtering
object that produces heat from gamma radiation and emits light by
Compton scattering. Ball lightning rides air currents but exhibits
antigravity properties like that postulated for antimatter.
*Crop Circles*
The initial description of crop circles is a circular depression of
crops http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/07/antigravity-hypothesis-crop-circles.html.
Ionizing gamma radiation destroys cellular structures and molecular
bonds. Over exposure is lethal to biological organisms. Weakened plant
stems then crumple to the ground. More complex crop circle patterns
are therefore man made hoaxes, which have been demonstrated.
*"Alien" bodies*
Ionizing gamma radiation causes burns worse than sunburn. First,
second, and third degree burns increase in severity, and can be
lethal. So called crash victims suffer third degree burns. Some people
experiencing close encounters suffer radiation poisoning
http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/04/antigravity-hypothesis-cash-landrum.html.
Antimatter meteors appear like shiny Christmas tree ornaments
surrounded by glowing lights. Bodies are invariably described as
short, which is consistent with children that curiosity killed.
*Mutilated Cows*
Most people seek shelter at night, whereas herds of cows are not
sheltered at night. The night sky is exposed to meteor strikes.
Antimatter is indigestible, so any living organism eating or being hit
by antimatter is doomed to mutilation.
*Abductions and Lost Time*
Antimatter meteors disrupt electrical processes including biological
nervous systems. Getting struck by lightning can stop a heart,
breathing, and brain activity. A concussion can interrupt the mental
capacity to store long term memory. This gap in memory can never be
restored. The human mind fills in mental gaps to supply the missing
information. False memories are the result. The initial cause is
interruption of brain activity, which can be caused the disruption of
electrical processes of the brain by antimatter meteors
http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/04/antigravity-hypothesis-travis-walton.html.
*Secrecy*
Government cover ups of UFOs have taken on many forms over the years.
At first UFO phenomena was misunderstood. The Air Force mandate to
protect American airspace was violated by UFOs. UFOs killed humans by
gamma radiation, and the bodies were recovered and examined. At that
stage the motive behind the UFO cover up was to stave off public
panic. All evidence was sequestered to determine the truth about UFOs.
When the truth of antimatter meteors was uncovered, secrecy took on a
new mission. More secrecy surrounds antigravity research than the
Manhattan project, which created the atomic bomb
http://gistmass.blogspot.com/2008/04/antigravity-hypothesis-cash-landrum.html#secrecy.
Now nations all over the world have nukes. Disinformation surrounding
antigravity is intended to prevent enemy states from connecting the
dots and discovering that antimatter has antigravity properties, and
developing antigravity vehicles.
*Motives for Rejection*
The truth concerning the antimatter meteor hypothesis is hard to
handle for a number of reasons by different vested interests. Here are
many of those reasons. "Don't confuse me with the facts. I have my
mind made up."
*ET Buffs*
People who want to believe that interstellar tourists are visiting
Earth will reject the antimatter meteor hypothesis since it provides a
consistent and comprehensive explanation for most if not all
observations concerning UFOs. That leaves little if any reason to
support the ET hypothesis.
Whereas the antimatter meteor hypothesis does not preclude the
existence of ET, it does commandeer most if not all the circumstantial
evidence. Many who want to believe in ET hope that ET tech will save
us from ourselves. Antimatter technology may help that cause, however
the best possible policy in all circumstances is for us to rely on our
own ingenuity to save ourselves.
*Skeptics*
Skeptics have served in the role of the inquisition for orthodox
science concerning the UFO heresy. Ridicule and condescension have
been their weapons. On the one hand the antimatter meteor hypothesis
does provide a scientific explanation. However, acceptance of the
antimatter meteor hypothesis is an admission of guilt that skeptics
have served as obstructionists where truth is concerned, which
violates the tenants of the scientific method they so fervently
defend.
*Scientific Peer Review Publications*
The requirements for acceptance of a new theory by scientific peer
review publications is to prove why the standard model is incorrect,
and to provide mathematical proof of an alternate explanation.
Antigravity as a minus sign in Newton's gravitational equations is not
acceptable. Antimatter can only be contained within a vacuum, and as
such is in short supply possibly only located at Area 51 if anywhere
on Earth. Therefore the antimatter meteor hypothesis is speculative
and as such is rejected by scientific peer review publications.
*Astrophysicists*
Many a tenured reputation has been built upon the counter intuitive
assumption that a disparity of matter and antimatter exists in the
universe. The antimatter meteor hypothesis is built upon the premise
that parity does exists between matter and antimatter in the universe.
This calls into question the Big Bang, which has been at the heart of
cosmologists' reputation for over half a century. Einstein, for one,
never endorsed the Big Bang idea. For an alternative cosmology
consistent with the parity of matter and antimatter see my blog
http://gistmass.blogspot.com/search/label/Cyclical%20Cellular%20Cosmology
and website http://gistmass.org/Manifesto/.
*Scientists*
The scientific establishment loses face in a big way should the
antimatter meteor hypothesis prove true. Confirmation will expose the
fact that the hardest of the hard sciences, physics, is not immune
from errors of analysis, self deception, and hubris. The Big Bang will
come to be known by future generations as this generation's equivalent
of the medieval debate over how many angles can dance on the head of a
pin. It will shake science to its core. The scientific method will be
proven fallible, and common people will come to look upon scientists
and scientific theories with skepticism and dismissal, whether or not
those conclusions are deserved.
*Black Ops*
The ET debate has served well as a cover for secrecy regarding
antigravity technology. The intended target of disinformation
campaigns is for any competing group to spend valuable time and
resources on dead end technological quests. Bob Lazar claimed that
atomic element 115 exhibits antigravity properties, and that he gained
that knowledge from classified documents he read at a facility near
Area 51.
*Corporations*
Truth is the enemy of secrecy and vice versa. Corporations rely on
patents, trade secrets, proprietary information, and non disclosure
agreements to stifle competition. The disclosure that secrecy has
prevented the commercial development of antimatter technology, with
huge energy saving potential, will raise the question whether
government and legal support for corporate secrecy violates the public
interest and possibly the very survival of the human race.
*UFO Investigators*
Full disclosure will threaten the livelihood of these researchers.
Self interest dictates that they therefore don't want the antimatter
meteor hypothesis to be true.
*Cable Program Producers*
Many cable TV shows will suddenly have no value when the antimatter
meteor hypothesis is generally accepted by the public. The economic
interests of producers for these shows will lose earning power.
*Conclusions*
The antimatter meteor hypothesis may lack consensus, but it is
consistent and comprehensive in its ability to explain the observed
behavior of UFOs. As such, the antimatter meteor hypothesis is the
only viable explanation for UFOs to date. Extraterrestrial vehicles
begs the question of underlying technology. Any craft that emits gamma
radiation is an incompetent design, which eliminates the possibility
of intelligent manufacture.
When it comes to making decisions, people routinely choose popularity
over rigorous analysis, and familiarity over critical thinking. When
the truth is inconvenient, we opt for convenience. CYA is human
nature.
However, we measure progress by how well our theories match reality.
Should you ever encounter a levitating, reflecting, glowing object and
despite the temptation to reach out and touch it, recall my advice.
Don't. CYA is human nature. Truth transcends context.
