Given that FOX News Watch presents itself as a watchdog group of the news media, itself, why are glossing over Podesta’s involvement in all this? Is it to inoculate public attention in the efforts of the Sci-Fi Channel and Podesta? No! For most Americans, this story was an uneventful trial balloon that will go nowhere in the drone of weekend TV. If is this so, to whom is the message addressed?
Is FOX News Watch Suppressing UFO Disclosure Efforts Through Media Intimidation?
YOWUSA.COM, 30-June-2003 Marshall Masters
While I was watching the News Watch program on FOX News last Saturday night, their closing story caught my attention. They were reporting that John Podesta, former Clinton chief of staff, and SCI FI Channel are now conducting a concerned lobbying effort with a high-powered Washington, D.C., law firm to force the disclosure of UFO secrets. All of the pundits on the show, liberal and conservative alike mocked the Sci-Fi channel and labeled the effort as PR nonsense.
The only thing balanced about this haughty and arrogant attack was that it it came from both the left and the right (as if there is a real difference in the corporate sense.) Oviously, the real attitude towards the Sci-Fi channel and Podesta at FOX News, fits with a new definition for “fair,” as being something that comes to town once a year.
So what is troubling about all this? There was a clear impression given by the News Watch pundits that this is breaking story, when it fact, it dates back to October 2002. So why has Fox suddenly slammed its spin machine against an 8-month old story, this close to August?
SCI-FI Channel, 23-October-02 SCI FI Backs UFO Disclosure
The SCI FI Channel joined with John Podesta, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, in calling for declassification of secret government records on UFOs, the network announced. SCI FI is backing a Freedom of Information Act initiative to obtain government records on cases involving retrieval of objects of unknown origin by the secret Air Force operations Project Moon Dust and Operation Blue Fly. Assisting SCI FI in its effort is the Washington, D.C., law firm of Lobel, Novins and Lamont, the network announced. "It is time for the government to declassify records that are more than 25 years old and to provide scientists with data that will assist in determining the real nature of this phenomenon," Podesta said in a statement.
Explaining SCI FI's involvement, network president Bonnie Hammer said, "For the past decade, SCI FI programming has explored the often-blurred line that separates science fiction from science fact. But when credible scientists conclude that 5 percent to 10 percent of UFOs cannot be explained by natural or artificial causes, we think it is worth taking a much closer look at what is clearly a real and ubiquitous phenomenon."
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let’s Be Balanced, Shall We?
What the pundits at FOX were quick to mention in passing, and even quicker to gloss over is that the Sci-Fi Channel is working with the former chief of staff to an American President. Just out of curiosity, wouldn’t John Podesta, in his role as a chief of staff, have sufficient security access to know that something is going on?
At the very least, why were they not interested in knowing why Podesta is now willing to jam his foot down upon the 3rd rail of UFO controversy?
Given that FOX News Watch presents itself as a watchdog group of the news media, itself, why are glossing over Podesta’s involvement in all this? Is it to inoculate public attention in the efforts of the Sci-Fi Channel and Podesta? No! For most Americans, this story was an uneventful trial balloon that will go nowhere in the drone of weekend TV. If is this so, to whom is the message addressed?
What FOX News Watch was doing, no doubt at the direction of its corporate executives, was to send an implied message to reporters at large. Any reporter who dares to cover this issue in a serious manner will suffer considerable ridicule. In other words, the implied message from FOX to the rest of the media is simple -- touch this, and your career will be trashed. To do that, they presented an 8-month old news story as breaking news. If this is not a plain outright case of misleading the public, what is?
Another interesting aspect is the timing. Perhaps something is in the works. Perhaps the Sci-Fi Channel and Podesta are on the verge of something significant. But there could also be something else.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why Now?
In May 2003, I published a detailed analysis of three significant crop circle formations on YOWUSA titled, Are Extraterrestrials at Odds With Crop Circle Messages? Please keep in mind that the three formations I discussed in that article all happened in three consecutive years in England; all were massively complex; all appeared next to major communications facilities; and all manifested within a narrow mid-August time span.
In that article, I focused on the Crabwood formation that had appeared on August 15, 2002 next to a microwave station near Winchester, Hampshire. In that article, I speculated that, based on similarities of the formations of the last three consecutive years, we would see another complex formation this coming August. I also speculated that it could likewise offer us a continuation of the message contained within the 2002 Crabwood formation.
YOWUSA.COM, 04-May-2003 Are Extraterrestrials at Odds With Crop Circle Messages?
The message “COnduit CLOSING,” in conjunction with the narrow range of days in which these formations appear each year, shows that the “COnduit” of these particular messages is very narrow.
Considering that crop circle formations appear in other times of the year, it reasonable to assume that there are many such conduits. However, this particular “COnduit” is most likely rather wide and conducive to creating large and complex formations. In a manner of speaking, perhaps the difference between this “COnduit” and others is the same difference as that between DSL and 56K modem Internet connections. (We know how hard it can sometimes be to find a good DSL connection in your neighborhood.)
Another critical aspect is that this “COnduit” is short lived and that it occurs at about the same time each year with the context of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Therefore, this “COnduit” obviously requires a precise alignment between Earth and the source of these crop circle formations.
Finally, the comma at the end of the message “COnduit CLOSING,” clearly implies that this “COnduit” will most likely reopen once again this coming August 2003. If so, it will be most interesting to see what kind of message if any, that we will receive and where.
Perhaps this partly explains the auspicious timing of the implied FOX News Watch warning to journalists.
The point of this suppression effort is simple. Any story dealing with disclosure or contact events carries with it the threat of ridicule, which does present a clear threat to a journalists career interests in a field where the number of news organizations accepting resumes is shrinking at a fast pace.
Welcome to the fair and balanced world of news-for-profit, where suppression really works – and from self-appointed media watchdogs no less! (Or should we say, corporate news lap dogs?)

Creating "Crop circles" is a national passtime in Britain.
The more complex the better!

Then tell us why AUGUST is the time when the "aliens" speak to us via crop circles, and why they talk to the British...

The best site was.. http://www.ioon.net/cropcircles/articles/alien8.html Quote... There is no reason to conclude that this series of annual communication would stop here. The English message in the Crabwood code says "There is still time". This could suggest (or at least give a possibility) that another message might be transmitted in the crops when there “no longer is time” (or “the time has come”). It also says "conduit closing" in the end. Perhaps this "conduit" is related to a time wave, having a "subnode" point around Aug 12 each year? This conduit would be open only for a brief moment after which it closes and no further messages could be transmitted this way until the next node point. What does Al Bielek, a person heavily involved in the Montauk Project, have to say about 2003? Here is an excerpt from the book "Montauk Project - experiments in time" (from http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/montauk.html): "It [the time wave] will stabilize itself by the year 2003 unless they reopen it. Then you have another can of worms to deal with. They just don't realize what risks they are running in reopening that thing. The rift was stabilized in '63, or this North American continent would now be under salt water. Not from the year 2000, but it would have been in 1963... It was due to the fact that they had this time rift, and because it was unstable in the way it was generated (like a standing wave in an RF transmission line). You may not understand RF theory, but you get a reverse wave in an unterminated or improperly terminated line. Time is a wave as well. You can have a forward time wave and you can have a reverse time wave. If the two of equal amplitude hit each other at a node point, which is the earth synchronization point, like August 12th, 1963, they can be extremely disruptive, physically, to the physical structure of the earth." Now, to my understanding, Aug 12, 2003, is the next similar node point or Earth synchronization point. It would be very irresponsible from us not consider the possibility that the Philadelphia-Montauk time wave is real and has severe implications for 2003. According to Bielek, Project Montauk was terminated and the associated buildings sealed soon after August 1983. However, he has later concluded that the project has been reopened. It is not just the timing of Chilbolton and Crabwood that suggest a connection. The crop formations point to the direction of the "Greys" (Chilbolton) and the "Reptilians" (Crabwood). I tend to associate the greys to "Martians" (this is certainly not just my idea) and the reptiles to Annunaki or Dracos, which are found in the Sumerian recordings studied for example by Zecharia Sitchin and Laurence Gardner. Now both alien groups are said to have been involved in the Philadelphia and Montauk experiments (not just by Bielek) among some additional alien sources. It is becoming very plausible to me that especially these two groups are heavily tied in the history and future of human civilization and may not be so alien to us in the big picture as we may be inclined to think. The thread beginning from this line of thinking may lead us all the way back to the dinosaurs and beyond. Another intriguing aspect of the Montauk story is that there are implications to a widely known occultist, Aleister Crowley. It is suggested by Bielek and his collages that Crowley was involved in interdimensional travelling experiments, not so much by means of technology, but possibly with the aid of the energy stored in the British megalith sites - which could offer another connection to crop circles. What is perhaps MOST interesting at this point in time is the fact that our current Western civilization was apparently (if any of the Sitchin / Gardner material is correct -see previous page) launched in Mesopotamia 6000 years ago by a reptile species known as the Annunaki, with the creation of the Sumerian culture. Why is it interesting just now? Because Uruk, the ancient capital of the Sumerian culture, is located in the modern Iraq - the hotspot of all political attention today. Are the U.S. leaders aware of something extremely important left behind by the Annunaki in modern Iraq? Could this be one of the motivations behind their attack? Are they also aware of the Aug 2003 time wave node point - is this why they are in such a hurry to establish control over the Iraq territory? I must confess that the Montauk material really seems off this world. The same could be said from all the ideas I am presenting here. If any of this is true, it is certainly too much off this world to be released to the public by any high-ranking politician, investigating reporter willing to keep his job or a scientist with an academic position. This would in part explain why the masses are totally unaware of this kind of motives behind the worldwide politics and military actions. I am not providing this as an evidence for these theories, but trying to express how these things could remain a secret if they were true. ""

...and some of it is unexplained by normal physical phenomena.
My favorite story is the one told me by a Service Buddy about something his father experienced.
As he told me one night when we were both watching something that really didn't need watching his father, a Private Pilot, was flying his Single Engine Plane home from a Business Trip back east. He was a VFR Only Pilot. (For the uninitiated VFR means Visual Flight Rule - meaning not qualified to Fly on Instruments so you have to be able see.) And he ran into a VFR Pilots worst Nightmare - a seemingly endless Cloud Bank obscuring his Approach to home. As is all too common with a VFR Pilot in such a situation he became disoriented. It was Mountainous Terrain underneath, the Rockies, so he dare not descend below the Cloud Bank lest he run into a Canyon Wall or a Peak. So, he was in a funk. Can't go up, can't go down, and limited fuel at the end of a long flight home. That was when the "Craft" dropped down in front of him out of the Clouds above. The way he described it was the stereotypical "Flying Saucer" design - a flattened Saucer Shape thicker in the the Center than on the edges. At this point I can only imagine what must have been going through his mind - lost in a Cloud Bank and out of nowhere a "Flying Saucer". I think I might have been close to peeing my pants. As he watched the "Craft" in front of him it did a "wiggle" side to side to attract his attention. He was all eyes. It then did a slow turn onto a new heading. At first he didn't get it so it popped back in front of him and did the little wiggle again and then slowly changed course. Somewhere about here is where it dawned on him that it was indicating that he should follow. Figuring he had nothing to lose, the fuel gauge getting lower by the minute, he followed and when he settled into the new course the Craft wiggled again and disappeared back up into the Clouds. Still disoriented, and none too good at following his instruments, he apparently started drifting off course again because the Craft dropped back down out of the clouds, wiggled, and led him back onto course. As he eased back onto course and steadied his line it did a final wiggle and disappeared straight back up into the Clouds. This time he held steady. A few minutes later the Clouds began to thin out and he was able to see well enough to know that it was safe to descend below the Cloud Level. When he popped out into the Clear much to his utter amazement and bewilderment he found that he was dead on a straight approach to his destination landing field. Needless to say he made it and landed safely - his nerves a little worse for the wear and tear.
For what it's worth the man who told me that story was one of the finest NonComs I ever served with. He was dead honest and absolutely Practical - you could take his "Word" to the bank.
Do I believe the story?
I knew the guy. I would have trusted my life on his word.
So, when it comes to UFOs, not just because of the preceding story, I believe that a certain undefined percentage are Craft of some kind. Some may be our own Ultra Top Secret Stuff (remember the SR-71 had been in service for over 10 years before the Government would even admit it existed), the rest. Data insufficient. However, I think somebody's watching. Who they are or where they're from is not a defined item. Truthfully I suspect that some of them are from Civilizations more advanced than ours and are coming from other Star Systems. We do know now that Planets are not particularly rare. Our Universe is Very Old. Life on this Planet could be, and probably is, a relative late comer.
The Photos of Martian and Lunar Anomalies are very suggestive of intelligent design. If so they are very old.
As to why the Government might want to Pooh Pooh such is a guessing game. However the Brookings Institution was Commissioned to do a study by NASA back in the late 50's when NASA was brand new. The Brookings Report as it has come to be called specifically reccomended withholding knowledg of any extraterrestrial finds because it might upset our Status Quo. Interesting Conclusion. The Report is, I believe, available on line. Try a Google on Stanley McDaniels or Brookings Report.
