Kepler, the NASA mission manoeuvring to spot the first Earth-like extrasolar planet, is supposed to publicly release data in June for the 156,000 stars at which the orbiting telescope stares. But on Monday a NASA advisory panel recommended that Kepler be allowed to censor 400 “objects of interest” — presumably good planet candidates — until February 2011, giving the mission team more time to firm up discoveries, rule out false positives and publish. If enacted, the new policy would represent a selective editing of data on the basis of its science content, rather than its quality — unprecedented for such NASA missions.
As Kepler astronomers get ever closer to the prize — an Earth-sized planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a parent star — some astronomers are advocating open sharing of data, with its benefit of bringing additional eyes and ideas to bear on ballooning data sets that swamp the resources of any individual team. Others, however, want to maintain more control over the candidate planets, which can remain in limbo for years while awaiting confirmation. This closed approach ensures not only ultimate bragging rights in the scientific literature, but also enables more cautious media announcements in a field that has suffered embarrassing retractions.
“It’s come to a head,” says William Borucki, Kepler’s principal investigator at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.

The mysterious Russian numbers station UVB-76 has once again given us pause to once again wonder what the strange transmission could mean. A few months ago the station reportedly went offline for an extended period of time sparking fears that something in the world was about to happen. Those fears came and then subsided when the station once again began transmitting its mysterious pulse. But for the first time in quite a while the station began transmitting numbers.
Numbers stations first came around at the early stages of the cold war with mysterious short wave radio transmissions that would appear to be entirely nonsensical. And yet they sprang up in every nation showering the airwaves with transmissions that could be described as anywhere from disturbing to downright frightening. The sinister stations have never been completely cracked according to official channels, but even if they had been decoded this information would likely be kept secret. And one of the most interesting and perplexing numbers stations is UVB-76, which has been continuously pulsing out 20 seconds of audio every minute along with a few other cryptic messages.
On August 2nd, the UVB-76 blog noted that three signals were attempting to occupy the same bandwidth space as UVB-76, but exactly why is unknown. Of the three signals, one notably was using dense data bursts which could have been interpreted by a machine to mean something, but to the ear the information sounded like someone running their fingernails over a vinyl record. There was also at this point morse code transmitting at the upper band of UVB-76′s transmission. Though the station itself wasn’t completely knocked out by this, it was interfering with the signal itself.

Playa Del Rey, CA (PRWEB) August 30, 2010
With the sudden surge of interest in UFOs, are the government and media deliberately suppressing the one case that would blow the cover-up wide open? Michael Horn, the U.S. spokesman for Swiss UFO contactee, Billy Meier, will present supporting evidence for that theory in two upcoming public appearances.
According to Horn, the whole UFO topic has been turned into little more than entertainment with the media comfortably promoting only anecdotal and inconclusive evidence. “The fact is that while there has been some actual extraterrestrial UFO activity in the past, most sightings are either secret military craft or explained by natural causes. The clear exception, the Meier case, has been the one cause of concern for the CIA and other intelligence agencies for over 35 years. The 21 documented assassination attempts on Meier’s life show that someone’s been taking it very seriously.”
Horn thinks that the governmental powers that be are glad to see people chase what he calls “lights in the sky” but want to make sure that Meier’s documented, advance knowledge of hundreds of importantscientific discoveries, from black holes, dark matter, water on Mars, to the deadly threat of the Apophis asteroid, don’t get their attention.
When asked why they would want to cover up such ironclad evidence, Horn said, “They believe that Meier’s proof of still ongoing extraterrestrial contact would overturn our religions, even stop wars and reinforce the oneness of, and need for peace between, all peoples on Earth. They also fear that it would destabilize society to admit that advanced, space traveling human beings operate freely without any terrestrial control. But the Plejaren extraterrestrials emphasize that we, the people of Earth, are the biggest enemies to our own future survival…and they’re trying to help us to avoid self-destruction.”

In exclusive interview with skyshipsovercashiers.com US Army veteran admitted that he was asked to assassinate Martin Luther King.
According to Paul Epley who had worked in army as Army Master Sergeant,First Sergeant ,Company Commander and work for Government. In 1967, long after Paul was discharged from the U.S. Army, he was called to a meeting at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.Were he was asked assassinate Martin Luther King.
When Paul Epley finally talked publically about some of his secret military activities, back in 90′s his story ended up in a small North Carolina newspaper. Guess what? Two weeks later, two FBI men showed up where he was working and said, “If you don’t keep your mouth shut, we’ll shut it.”
But today Paul no longer cares if they kill him. He’s 80 years old, fighting cancer and wants to get three things off his conscience one of it is Martin Luther King assignation assignment which he had refused.
Second thing which he like to off his conscience he was used as a military assassin by US military.
This part of Paul’s story has haunted him since the Korean War ended in 1953. Since then, he has nightly nightmares, suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and must take medication to help calm his nerves.
A simple 18-year-old country boy from North Carolina wasn’t prepared for what he got into when he joined the U.S. Army. During basic training, he severely broke his ankle and was going to be discharged. Paul, however, wanted to be a soldier and pleaded to remain in the service. The military agreed to let him stay and do only light duties – with one condition. He had to do anything he was asked without question.
