The Evolution of Area 51

By: Alexandria Addesso

Area 51 has seemed to exist in two different places for decades, on both the southern shore of Groom Lake about 83 miles north-west of Las Vegas, and in the collective consciousness of those who can only imagine the whereabouts of the military base that has long been kept “top secret” and confidential. Over three-dozen films have been made about Area 51 as well as a host of mini-series despite the fact that very little information about the base has been verified. The idea of Area 51 has definitely evolved over the years.

Area 51 was built in 1941 and was given the official name of “Watertown” in 1956. Other monikers for the test site were Paradise Ranch and Dreamland, the latter was based on a poem by Edgar Allen Poe. The site was originally used as an auxiliary airfield. By 1951 the base was being utilized by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop the Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, an American single-jet engine, ultra-high altitude aircraft nicknamed “The Dragon Lady.” It is believed that over half of the unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings during the 1950s and 1960s were actually U-2 aircrafts.



This of course has helped contribute to the largely believed lure that aliens as well as their spacecrafts have been or are currently held at Area 51. It is true that aside from the U-2, numerous odd looking aircrafts have been developed, held and tested at the base. Most of which are used for spying or other military purposes. Also many of the projects done at the site are deemed confidential, to which information and details of can never be disclosed. Despite this fact many so called past employees of the base have “leaked” information. Retired Area 51 scientist Boyd Bushman released a video in which he describes the base as containing aliens, UFOs, and anti-gravity projects. The video was released right before his death.



Whether or not you believe that the confidential information about what is done at Area 51 has to do with alien life forms or not seems to be influence on your belief in extraterrestrials in general. Top secret projects done at the base having to do with both domestic and international spying is already factually known. Another reason why certain projects at Area 51 are kept confidential is because they can actually harm the general population. In the 1970s and 1980s Area 51 employees were repeatedly exposed to jet fuel toxins. In 1996 Helen Frost, the wife of one of the employees that died from these toxins, brought up a lawsuit against the United States government but it was dismissed because such allegations could not be “confirmed” and the base is exempt from any environmental laws.

Recent UFO Sightings During the Super-moon

By: Alexandria Addesso

Is there anybody out there? Are we all alone in the universe? What about other universes we are already aware of as well as those we cannot even fathom? These are questions that extraterrestrial enthusiasts and alien excavators have long been asking, and those individuals who believe they have actually seen unidentified flying objects (UFOs), or had encounters with the third kind, have been confirming for them.

There are four to six super-moons a year. A super-moon happens when a full moon or a new moon coincides with the closest approach the moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit. The recent super-moon occurring, from November 13-15 2016, was said by NASA scientists to be the “brightest super-moon seen since 1948”. As sky gazers were peering at the heavens in droves more numerous than usual, many UFO sightings occurred.



In Miami, Florida; Worcester, Massachusetts; Forest, Virginia and Turbot Ville, Pennsylvania there were reported sightings of UFOs under or near the moon on November 13, 2016 with pictures to cooperate some of the observances. In all the instances the UFOs were described as “blue orbs”. The next day, there were also several sightings of blue orbs around the moon in Los Angeles and Oceanside, California, Seattle, Washington; Ankara, Turkey and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Port-Au-Prince sighting was a recorded event, to watch the video click here.

Some have written off the video and even some of the other sightings as simple lenses flares, yet the movement in the video suggests otherwise. How could so many people in so many different parts of the world see the same thing? Could they all be technologically unsavies when using their cameras? What about the reported sightings from the super-moon nights by those who had no cameras and only the naked eye yet saw the same thing?, or Simple delusions? Does the eye only see what the mind wants it to or have we been long taught to write off all those who claim to have seen such things as delirious?
Stay curious, stay staring upward at the heavens, and keep checking the New Mind Journal, for UFO updates.

NASA EXPOSED

The story is quite incredible and makes a potential NASA hack of all times. So there is this guy, a computer hacker, who one day figured he would hack into i.a. NASA computers to search for evidence of aliens and alien technology as he heard NASA (and other US government agencies) may be hiding something from the public. And so he did. Quite simply. As it turned out the NASA computer network defense systems were literally non-existent. Not only some of their machines, holding tons of secret data, were running on Windows, but were still “secured” with the default administrator password provided with every fresh installation of the system. So job was easy. Yet, true shock came later, when he realized he was on to something. As he was sniffing around the network he managed to access secret information that confirmed his suspicions. McKinnon’s NASA hack was detected, eventually, and US requested his extradition to face a trial. Ever since McKinnon has found himself entangled in a legal struggle over the extradition, as the Americans accused him of causing nearly 1 million USD worth of damage to computers he had hacked and he was likely to face many decades in prison.


In March 2002 Glasgow-born Mr McKinnon was arrested by police at his dingy flat in Wood Green, north London. Scotland Yard detectives were acting on allegations from the Americans that he had hacked into US military computer systems in an attempt to bring them down. He allegedly immobilized sensitive systems in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Mr McKinnon, now 46, admits hacking into US computers but says he had been on a “moral crusade” to find classified documents about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). He got his first computer when he was 14 years old. Three years later he left school and became a hairdresser. But in the early 1990s friends convinced him to get a qualification in computers. After completing a course he started doing contract work in the computing field.

By the late 1990s Mr McKinnon decided to use his hacking skills to “research” his belief the US government was withholding critical information about UFOs. His search quickly turned into an obsession.

The Americans continue to press for the extradition of a man who they say caused $800,000 (£487,000) worth of damage to computers between 2001 and 2002. If he was convicted in the US he could face up to 70 years in prison.

Completely unknown at the time of his arrest, Mr McKinnon became a symbol of the controversial US-UK extradition treaty, gaining a wealth of celebrity backers as diverse as Terry Waite, Sting and Julie Christie.

In August 2008 Mr McKinnon was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome – a form of autism. He was diagnosed after an expert in autism watched him in a television interview and contacted his solicitor. The initial hunch was confirmed by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, a leader in the field. Asperger’s syndrome sufferers commonly become obsessed with certain activities and interests and are known to have a level of social naiveté when it comes to evaluating the consequences of their actions. Prof Baron-Cohen said this was consistent with Mr McKinnon’s “obsessive search for truth”.

It is claimed that between February 2001 and March 2002 Mr McKinnon hacked into dozens of US army, navy, air force, and Department of Defense computers, as well as 16 Nasa computers. The Americans allege he altered and deleted files at a US naval air station not long after the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001. They describe Mr McKinnon’s hacking as “intentional and calculated to influence and affect the US government by intimidation and coercion”.

But Mr McKinnon, or Solo as he was known online, has always said he is no web vandal, nor virus writer, and he never acted with malicious intent.

In a BBC interview in 2005 he said: “I found out that the US military use Windows and having realized this, I assumed it would probably be an easy hack if they hadn’t secured it properly.” Using commercially available software, Mr McKinnon probed dozens of US military and government networks. He found many machines without adequate password or firewall protection. So he simply hacked into them, he said.

‘Crashed UFOs’

In 2009 he told the BBC: “I am not blind to criminality, but I was on a moral crusade.

“I was convinced, and there was good evidence to show, that certain secretive parts of the American government intelligence agencies did have access to crashed extra-terrestrial technology which could, in these days, save us in the form of a free, clean, pollution-free energy.”

He added: “I thought if someone is holding onto that, that is unconstitutional under American law. I didn’t think about jail sentences at the time.”

“I’d stopped washing at one point. I wasn’t looking after myself. I wasn’t eating properly. I was sitting around the house in my dressing gown, doing this all night,” he said.

Mr McKinnon did not try very hard to cover his tracks, even using his own e-mail address. When Britain’s hi-tech crime unit finally came for him in 2002, Mr McKinnon was not surprised.

He told the BBC: “I almost wanted to be caught, because it was ruining me. I had this classic thing of wanting to be caught so there would be an end to it.”

He thought he would be tried in Britain, and that he might get, at the most, three to four years in prison. But the Gary McKinnon saga dragged on for 10 years and in that time there have been seven home secretaries. During that time he appealed unsuccessfully to the House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights.

One of his major arguments against extradition was that he believed he would not get a fair trial in the US and would be punished more severely because he had contested the extradition process. The case had been in Theresa May’s in-tray since she became Home Secretary in May 2010 and in October she finally ruled that he should not be extradited. She said there was no doubt Mr McKinnon was “seriously ill” and said: “Mr McKinnon’s extradition would give rise to such a high risk of him ending his life that a decision to extradite would be incompatible with Mr McKinnon’s human rights.”

Now, the director of public prosecutions has ruled Mr McKinnon will not face charges in the UK – bringing his 10-year battle to a close.
