uars located without space agency assist

Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) final resting spot located! Satellite retrieval was quick by "Men In Black" without personal injury or radiation exposure, in other words, no liability to NASA. You Tube video, "NASA Satellite Falls On Car," seems as factual and much more entertaining than the space agency's press release. Clyde Lewis is right, NASA should be called down over misleading reports released by agency about UARS reentry! "It's unlikely anyone actually observed reentry," offers Nick Johnson, chief scientist for orbital debris, in their video press release. Was there a liability concern over plutonium aboard satellite? Or, was it just a psyop to get us to look up in the sky but for what? The only obvious conclusion were the lies offered up by NASA for public consumption!

china declares first contact!

National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) of China announced Thursday, "...first verified transmission from an alien civilization," according to story at The Daily Galaxy. "China's leading astrobiologist, Dr. Xi Chang, a graduate of MIT, told Xinhua [News] that "the signal repeats itself continuously in 2 minute long sequences and appears to be the four bases of the genetic code...". China's NRAO reports, "...monitoring signals from a previously unknown 'dark' satellite in orbit around Saturn for the past 90 days". Is this the alien psyop? The foundation is already in place for the deception as reported in previous blog entries, "earth must prepare for close encounter with aliens" and "is establishment preparing to unveil aliens?". Everything has suddenly taken a turn towards the strange for Earth inhabitants!
