			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/13711/alien-in-a-past-life/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13712" title="alien_in_a_past_life" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/alien_in_a_past_life.jpg?w=375&#038;h=200" alt="" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>More than 90 million Americans have lived past lives on other planets, astounding evidence reveals!<span id="more-13711"></span></p>
<p>Incredibly, researchers working independently of each other have come to the same mind-boggling conclusion that a great number of Americans are transplanted aliens.</p>
<p>People who were hypnotically regressed by different experts told remarkably similar stories about their past lives in other worlds &#8211; ruling out the possibility of coincidence.</p>
<p>In a massive five-year study of more than 6,000 people who uncovered their past lives while under hypnosis, one-fifth described earlier existences on other planets, Steiger said.</p>
<p>Amazingly similar findings were reported by three other leading past-life researchers, Dr. Edith Fiore, Frederick Lenz, and Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, who have each done hundreds of regressions.</p>
<p>After analyzing his hypnotically regressed subjects, Steiger found those who said they lived before on other planets fell into three types:</p>
<p><strong>1. Refugee aliens</strong></p>
<p>These people said that in an earlier life they had fled their home planets because of catastrophic wars or natural disasters and had traveled millions of miles to Earth. Others said their space vehicles had crash-landed here and were forced to remain on this planet.</p>
<p>These refugees were quite like us &#8211; similar to us physically but slightly more advanced than mankind is today, Steiger said.</p>
<p><strong>2. Dome-headed Utopians</strong></p>
<p>Most of the people claiming past lives on other planets fell into this category. They described living on a planet with a red sky and two moons shining at night.</p>
<p>These people were called &#8220;Utopians,&#8221; Steiger said, because they came from planets free of crime and hunger and where all their needs were met. &#8220;Physically, they described themselves as slender, even small, with big-domed heads, long golden hair and eyelashes, no beards and no mustaches and little body hair. Their skin is golden-brown and their eyes amber, tawny or golden.</p>
<p>The Utopians came to Earth to help us,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They receives assignments to come to Earth in a sort of missionary or teaching role.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>3. Disembodied beings or &#8220;beings of light&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>This strange group, Steiger said, consisted of entities that seemed to exist without needing food or shelter. A small number of people reported past lives as blobs of high intelligence, floating over barren, rocky, arid planets with no obvious habitation or vegetation, Steiger said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sometimes they described themselves as just glowing lights, but most of the time they were totally invisible,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Dr. Fiore said she&#8217;s had a number of patients who have past-life memories on other planets. And several hundred of the 1,000 people interviewed by Lenz have described life on other planets.</p>
<p>&#8220;I agree with the estimate of one in five people having lived a past life in an alien world beyond Earth,&#8221; he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/13626/vatican-hosts-alien-conference/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8877" title="space_missionaries" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/space_missionaries.jpg?w=375&#038;h=200" alt="space_missionaries" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>VATICAN CITY &#8211; The Vatican hosted a five-day conference to discuss the possibility of alien life!<span id="more-13626"></span></p>
<p>The Catholic Church invited astronomers, physicists and other scientific experts to Vatican City to discuss astrobiology &#8211; the study of the origin of life and its possible existence in the universe.</p>
<p>Reverend Jose Gabriel Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, said, &#8220;the questions of life&#8217;s origins and of whether life exists elsewhere in the universe are very suitable and deserve serious consideration&#8221;.</p>
<p>The discovery of alien life would have a significant impact on creationism and God&#8217;s nature.</p>
<p>Thirty scientists, Catholics and non-Catholics, came from across the world to attend the summit. Chris Impey, an astronomy professor from the University of Arizona, said he had not problem with the Vatican hosting it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Both science and religion posit life as a special outcome of a vast and mostly inhospitable universe,&#8221; Impey said. &#8220;There is a rich middle ground for dialogue between the practitioners of astrobiology and those who seek to understand the meaning of our existence in a biological universe.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reverend Fumes said alien life would not contradict the Catholic faith. &#8220;Just as there is a multitude of creatures on Earth, there could be other beings, even intelligent ones, created by God. This does not contradict our faith, because we cannot put limits on God&#8217;s creative freedom.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Vatican has considered the issue in the past, hosting a similar event in 2005.</p>

<p>HOLBROOK, AZ &#8211; A group of 21 aliens has taken refuge in the heart of the Petrified Forest National Park &#8211; and they&#8217;re asking President Obama for asylum!<span id="more-13610"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;They came to Earth to escape religious persecution on their own planet,&#8221; says attorney Betty Montrose, who represents the extraterrestrial immigrants. &#8220;And they&#8217;ve settled here in America because of our reputation as the &#8216;great melting pot.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;Although their technology is light-years ahead of our own, the government on their home planet is tyrannical and cruel. They&#8217;ve come hoping to build a new life here in the land of the free.</p>
<p>&#8220;And I&#8217;m acting as their counsel. So far we&#8217;ve had two visits with President Obama, but nothing has been decided yet.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mrs. Montrose, who retired from her law practice and moved here in 2003, will not reveal the exact location where the aliens wait, hoping against hope that the government will grant them political asylum. But their settlement is somewhere in the Petrified Forest, north of the Zuni Indian Reservation.</p>
<p>Mrs. Montrose is determined to win them the right to stay here. But she&#8217;s not without her critics.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have enough freeloaders flooding the borders,&#8221; says one Arizona state official.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why should hardworking Americans be asked to pick up the tab for yet another group of maladjusted outsiders?&#8221;</p>
<p>But Mrs. Montrose calls the criticisms unfair and biased. &#8220;These beings are intelligent, well-behaved and law-aiding,&#8221; the lawyer told reporters. &#8220;And unlike some others who are seeking citizenship, they speak perfect English.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some experts foresee serious psychological problems for the refugees themselves if Obama okays their request.</p>
<p>&#8220;The difficulties of integrating themselves into our culture will put great stress on them,&#8221; says a therapist who has interviewed the alien delegation. &#8220;Their entire lives have been spent in a totally different world. It will take them five or six generations to adapt.&#8221;</p>
<p>President Obama has not commented on the situation. But Washington sources expect a decision by early January.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/13338/alien-graveyard-found/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13339" title="alien_graveyard_found" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/alien_graveyard_found.jpg?w=375&#038;h=200" alt="alien_graveyard_found" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Scientists say they have found an extraterrestrial cemetery in central Africa that is at least 500 years old!<span id="more-13338"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;There must be 200 bodies buried there and not a single one of them is human,&#8221; Dr. Hugo Childs, the Swiss anthropologist, told reporters in Kigali, Rwanda.</p>
<p>&#8220;They are in amazing state of preservation to be so old,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Soil and tissue samples indicate the bodies have been in the ground since the 1400s. We&#8217;re now trying to figure out where they came from &#8211; and what killed them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Childs and his colleagues reportedly discovered the alien graveyard on a routine survey of the Rwandan jungle.</p>
<p>They originally thought they had stumbled on the remains of a centuries-old village. But excavation reportedly revealed nothing but alien bodies &#8211; stacked in fives in a jungle clearing.</p>
<p>&#8220;The creatures themselves were much taller and skinnier than humans,&#8221; said the expert.</p>
<p>&#8220;They stood about 7 feet tall and they were not any bigger around than small sapling trees.</p>
<p>&#8220;Their heads were larger than the average man&#8217;s and they had no mouth, nose or eyes to speak of.</p>
<p>&#8220;I assume that they communicated with one another telepathically and moved around like bats with some kind of biological radar.&#8221;</p>
<p>Without further study there is no way to tell for sure what killed the extraterrestrials.</p>
<p>But Dr. Childs speculated that the 200 aliens were part of a single landing party that encountered a deadly virus. Because they would have had no immunity to Earth disease, he added, something as simple as the flu could have wiped out the entire party.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some of them must have survived because there is no evidence of a spaceship to be found,&#8221; said Dr. Childs. &#8220;Of course, as our excavation effort continues, there&#8217;s no telling what we may run across.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Childs would not take reporters to the site, for fear of the bodies being disturbed. However, he promised to reveal the location once the excavation was complete. &#8220;It will change the world,&#8221; Dr. Childs said.</p>
<p>Weekly World News will continue to provide updates as they develop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/13218/roswell-haunted-by-alien-ghost/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13219" title="roswell_haunted" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/roswell_haunted.jpg?w=375&#038;h=200" alt="roswell_haunted" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>ROSWELL, NM &#8211; &#8220;Since that <em>thing </em>returned, it&#8217;s been one terrifying encounter after another,&#8221; said Col. Mike Andrews.<span id="more-13218"></span> &#8220;Most of our test pilots are requesting transfers and the civilian contractors are refusing to come to work.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8216;That thing,&#8217; according to Col. Andrews, is the ghost of an ET who died sixty-two years ago.</p>
<p>As readers of Weekly World News are aware, in the summer of 1947 a UFO crashed northwest of Roswell, NM. The military acted quickly to recover the wreckage. Along with three small, otherwordly bodies recovered at the scene, it was flown to various government installations. Despite a military cover story that was concocted to explain away the event, witnesses insist that it was a flying saucer and that an autopsy on one of the space men was conducted at Roswell.</p>
<p>Nor further visitations occurred in the decades following the crash. That changed this year.</p>
<p>&#8220;That saucer man is back,&#8221; said Col. Andrews with a shudder, &#8220;though not in any way we ever anticipated.</p>
<p>&#8220;This time, he&#8217;s a ghost!&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13221" title="roswell_haunted_full" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/roswell_haunted_full.jpg?w=450&#038;h=401" alt="roswell_haunted_full" width="450" height="401" /></p>
<p>Described as short with an oversized head, the unearthly being floats from room to room, passing through walls and ceilings as if they weren&#8217;t there. Work at the base has all but shut down as manpower has dwindled to a skeleton crew, though not everyone fears the eerie visitor.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think he means any harm,&#8221; stated Gus Rolf, a midnight-shift cook. &#8220;In fact, he came in and helped me peel potatoes one night and sorta zig-zagged out the door just before daylight. We tried to strike up a conversation, but he don&#8217;t speak English and I don&#8217;t speak Martian, or whatever lingo he was chirpin&#8217; in.&#8221;</p>
<p>The prevailing theory is that the ET ghost continues to be angry about having been poked, prodded and cut open during the medical exam.</p>
<p>&#8220;He has returned now because the alignment of the planets is identical to the way it was when the saucer crashed,&#8221; opined Walt Shelstad, a UFO investigator. &#8220;I believe he&#8217;s searching for the people who abused him. Like so many spirits, without closure he cannot return to his corner of the sky, to a proper alien afterlife. I believe he&#8217;ll leave when the planets change their positions.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I hope so,&#8221; said Col. Andrews. &#8220;Nobody things church rites will work on an ET, but I still may call in an exorcist. I don&#8217;t know what else to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>Until a solution is found, the base remains relatively deserted. &#8220;In every sense of the word, this place is a ghost town,&#8221; said Col. Andrews.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/13099/ufo-witnesses-arent-crazy/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13100" title="ufo_witnesses" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/ufo_witnesses.jpg?w=375&#038;h=200" alt="ufo_witnesses" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Experts have proven it &#8211; people who have seen UFOs or had close encounters wit aliens are just as sane, sound-minded and responsible as other people!<span id="more-13099"></span></p>
<p>There is evidence smashes the notion that people who report close encounters with UFOs or extraterrestrials are wild-eyed wackos with overactive imaginations.</p>
<p>They are, in fact, every bit as stable as the general population.</p>
<p>Psychologist Dr. Nicholas Spanos and PhD candidate Patricia Cross from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, ran a scientific study in which they tested the mental health of 49 people who have reported seeing alien spacecraft. Some of the test subjects, in fact, said they not only saw UFOs, but also had actual contact with aliens.</p>
<p>The researchers compared the results of the tests with those of 113 so-called normal people.</p>
<p>&#8220;We gave both groups a battery of the standard psychological tests that evaluate mental health,&#8221; says Dr. Spanos. &#8220;There was no difference in the scores of the two groups.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miss Cross said, &#8220;We wanted to see if there was any truth to the idea that witnesses to UFO phenomena are psychologically unbalanced. Our study shows that they are very normal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Spanos says that while some of the UFO stories reported by the test subjects can be attributed to planes or hot-air balloons, many of the accounts simply can&#8217;t be explained away.</p>
<p>&#8220;The subjects we tested who had reported contact with the aliens weren&#8217;t attention-starved people with low self-esteem. Most of them were upper-middle class, white-collar professional people who had hesitated to tell others what they had seen for fear that they&#8217;d be thought crazy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Maybe since the Spanos-Cross study has been published, people will feel less inhibited about reporting unusual sightings.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re only saying we believe these people are telling the truth and our tests prove they are not insane,&#8221; says Dr. Spanos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/12879/aliens-on-unemployment/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12880" title="aliens_on_unemployment" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/aliens_on_unemployment.jpg?w=375&#038;h=200" alt="aliens_on_unemployment" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Aliens are collecting millions in unemployment payments from the government during a recession and working American taxpayers are footing the bill!<span id="more-12879"></span></p>
<p>That&#8217;s the word from UFO expert Robert McLaughlin, who quotes highly placed Washington insiders as saying that &#8220;extraterrestrials masquerading as human beings are siphoning off as much as 15 percent of the national unemployment benefits each and every year.&#8221;</p>
<p>The U.S. budget for unemployed benefits exceeds $37 billion. And that means aliens robbed us of more than $5.5 billion in unemployment insurance benefits in 2009 alone.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is an outrage,&#8221; declared McLaughlin, founder and president of the powerful and often controversial UFO research groupd, Stop Extraterrestrials Now.</p>
<p>&#8220;These creatures aren&#8217;t U.S. citizens &#8211; they aren&#8217;t even human. But taxpayers like you and me are paying their way to the tune of $5.5 billion a year.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are skeptics who say that aliens can&#8217;t possibly be ripping off our system but they couldn&#8217;t be farther off the mark,&#8221; he continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you know anything about the federal bureaucracy, you know that anybody can pass himself off as being disadvantaged and cash in.</p>
<p>&#8220;And from what I&#8217;m told, there are hundreds of thousands of aliens on the unemployment rolls.&#8221;</p>
<p>Federal officials declined to comment on McLaughlin&#8217;s allegations but the expert produced compelling evidence to back up his claims.</p>
<p>He quoted highly placed State Department insiders as having said that the federal unemployment system &#8220;has been significantly abused by extraterrestrials who misrepresent themselves as out-of-work citizens.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also produced a copy of a secret White House memo dated April 20, 2009 that bluntly spoke of &#8220;the alien welfare connection.&#8221;</p>
<p>The memo called for the creation of a secret task force &#8220;to assess the threat and propose an immediate course of action.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just why aliens want to live off the generosity of Americans remains unclear.</p>
<p>McLaughlin theorizes that their own civilizations are in a state of decay.</p>
<p>Coming here for handouts, he explained, is purely a matter of survival.</p>
<p>&#8220;The fact that extraterrestrials are stealing money that should be going to real jobless Americans is an open secret in Washington but nobody wants to discuss it because they&#8217;re terrified of public reaction,&#8221; said McLaughlin.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can talk until I&#8217;m blue in the face but I don&#8217;t have the clout of a congressman or the president.</p>
<p>&#8220;Until they bring up the issue, the fraud is going to continue &#8211; and there&#8217;s not a damn thing that people like you and me can do about it.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/12781/balloon-boy-hoax/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12782" title="balloon_boy_hoax2" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/balloon_boy_hoax2.jpg?w=375&#038;h=200" alt="balloon_boy_hoax2" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">DENVER, CO &#8211; Richard Heene has admitted the balloon fiasco was a hoax; his child is really an alien they were trying to send home.<span id="more-12781"></span></p>
<p>Last week the world watched stunned as a homemade weather balloon floated over Colorado for hours, supposedly with a six year old boy inside.  Shortly after the balloon touched down the family said he had been hiding in the attic the whole time.</p>
<p>Authorities immediately suspected that the Heene story did not add up.  &#8220;As soon as we saw the balloon up close,&#8221; said local Deputy Alex Farbingrass, &#8220;we knew there was no way a child could have flown in that thing.  At least no human child anyway.  Then there was the attic he said to be hiding in.  That attic was 15 feet up!  And the ladder weighed a ton!  How would a kid get himself up there?  He kept eating dog food, and that was just weird.  The real kicker was when the kid admitted on national TV that it was staged.  That&#8217;s when we knew something was up.&#8221;</p>
<p>Richard Heene has since come forward saying this was an attempt to get his alien child back home that went spiraling out of control.  Richard and his wife say that young Falcon fell to earth a little over a year ago.  They found him in a small crater in their back yard in his natural alien form, which resembles a large mollusk.  Richard was halfway to the taxidermist when the creature finally woke up and spoke.</p>
<p>Falcon&#8217;s real parents are political exiles barred from entering Earth&#8217;s atmosphere.  Since losing their child they have been in geosynchronous orbit over Colorado and in good contact with the Heene parents.  Falcon has helped Richard with his career in storm chasing, since Richard only has a high school diploma and never really understood the science behind what he was doing.</p>
<p>According to Heene he had been working on a weather balloon to take the child into the upper atmosphere where his parents&#8217; ship could pick him up undetected.  While playing outside last week the other Heene children accidentally let the balloon go without Falcon in it.  Richard Heene panicked and came up with the falcon story to get police away from the house so they would not see the child in alien form.</p>
<p>Richard Heene came clean in a press conference with his family, saying, &#8220;We are truly sorry for misleading the people of America, and the world.  We hope this does not deter the producers at TLC from considering a reality show based on our wacky life.  Thank you and God bless.&#8221;</p>

<p>MOSCOW &#8211; The appearance of a strange ring-shaped cloud has sparked UFO enthusiasts&#8217; interest.<span id="more-12675"></span></p>
<p>A large, white ring cloud appeared over Moscow last week. Luckily, someone took video of it as proof.</p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/12675/halo-cloud-over-moscow/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/sHOPxVM6oIw/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>The size and shape led many UFO experts to wonder if it was alien-related. Large ring-shaped UFOs have been featured in Hollywood movies like &#8220;Independence Day&#8221; and &#8220;District 9&#8243;, as well as in numerous eyewitness accounts across the globe.</p>
<p>However, meteorologists quickly dispelled that idea, claiming it was instead a &#8220;halo cloud&#8221;.</p>
<p>A Moscow weather department spokesperson stated, &#8220;Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west — this is how the effect was produced.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/12560/christopher-columbus-map/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12561" title="christopher_columbus_map" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/christopher_columbus_map.jpg?w=375&#038;h=200" alt="christopher_columbus_map" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>When Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean 517 years ago, he used a map of the New World that could only have been prepared by aliens!<span id="more-12560"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;The original map that Columbus used in 1492 has long since disappeared but a copy of it that was made in 1513 still survives and has intrigued historians and cartographers since its discovery in Istanbul 80 years ago,&#8221; declares Turkish researcher Mehmet Ali Yilmaz.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an incredibly detailed chart,&#8221; he continues, &#8220;showing many important geographic landmarks which hadn&#8217;t even been discovered in 1513 &#8211; like the Andes Mountains, the course of the Amazon River and Antarctica. It shows the southern tip of Florida, portions of Mexico and all of the Caribbean islands, Central America and South America.</p>
<p>&#8220;But the most incredible thing about this chart is that mathematical analysis shows it is an aerial view of the southern hemisphere taken from many miles above Earth, clearly showing the curvature and proving the world wasn&#8217;t flat.</p>
<p>&#8220;This copy of the Columbus map was found in 1929 by a museum official in Istanbul,&#8221; the researcher adds.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was painted on parchment by a 16th century Turkish admiral and mapmaker, Piri Re&#8217;is.</p>
<p>&#8220;In a note in the margin, Piri Re&#8217;is stated that he had consulted &#8216;about 20&#8242; charts in compiling his map &#8211; including one which Columbus had taken with him on his 1492 voyage.&#8221;</p>
<p>After years of being ignored by professional geographers, it was an American college professor, Charles Hapgood, who finally recognized the significance of the Piri Re&#8217;is chart in the early 1960s.</p>
<p>&#8220;After analyzing it mathematically,&#8221; Ali Yilmaz says, &#8220;Hapgood determined it could only be an aerial view whose projection point was miles above the meridian of the Egyptian city of Alexandria, the site of an ancient library.</p>
<p>&#8220;And when he uncovered similar ancient maps, Professor Hapgood concluded that the original maps were made by space travelers and were then copied by scholars at the centuries-old library.&#8221;</p>
<p>But how did one of the maps fall into Columbus&#8217; hands?</p>
<p>&#8220;Where he got it isn&#8217;t important,&#8221; the researcher says. &#8220;It&#8217;s where the map got him.&#8221;</p>
