  What is the meaning of existence? Is there a "Grand Architect"? Is there an ultimate truth searched for by countless generations and lost in the mists of time? 
   
  Today we have a new science, a new terminology to explain and expound upon the biggest beliefs and religious systems. It has become apparent that the truth and understanding of our inner selves is, in the end, our ultimate quest. The void between belief and reality is indicative of the troubled planet we live on. As we all approach a dynamic future, the answers will emerge, although they might not be what we're expecting.

  A never-before-heard firsthand account of a government insider's experience on the cutting edge of UFO exploration; includes a new afterword"Forget everything you think you know about UFOs - this insider's account exposes the reality... Packed with top grade information, insightful analysis and fascinating anecdotes, Alexander's interesting and controversial book sets the gold standard for titles on this subject." –Nick Pope, author of Open Skies, Closed Minds"Changes the playing field for both true believers and skeptics alike. Alexander strongly warns, be careful what you wish for when asking for presidential intervention.  Success could set the field of ufology back decades." --George Noory, host of Coast to Coast AMWhile still on active duty in the U.S. Army during the 1980s, Colonel John B. Alexander, Ph.D. created an interagency group to explore the controversial topic of UFOs. All members held Top Secret clearance. What they discovered was not at all what was expected. UFOs covers the numerous cases they saw, and answers questions like:• What was really in Hanger 18? • Did a UFO land at Holloman Air Force Base? • What happened at Roswell? • What is Majestic 12? • What is the Aviary? • What does the government know about UFOs? • What has happened with disclosure in other countries? • Has the U.S. reverse engineered a UFO? • Why don't presidents get access to UFO info? UFOs is at once a complete account of Alexander's findings, and a call to action. There are no conspiracy theories here—only hard facts—but they are merely the beginning. Foreword by Jacques F. ValleeIntroduction by Burt RutanCommentary by Tom Clancy

  The Silent Universe - How Dark...

  Dark energy represents one of the most perplexing and enigmatic components of our universe, fundamentally altering our understanding of cosmic evolution. This mysterious force, which constitutes a major part of the cosmos, has intrigued scientists, astronomers, and physicists for decades. Its discovery, in part by observing the accelerated expansion of the universe, challenged long-held beliefs that gravity would eventually decelerate the cosmic expansion after the Big Bang. The revelation that the universe is not slowing down but actually speeding up has led to an explosion of theories and debates regarding the true nature of dark energy. 
  The initial hints of dark energy arose from studies that observed distant supernovae and measured their redshifts. When these measurements indicated that galaxies were moving away from each other at accelerating speeds, researchers were forced to rethink the previously accepted model of a decelerating universe. This unexpected acceleration suggested that some form of energy, previously unknown, was counteracting the force of gravity on a cosmic scale. Scientists have since begun to consider the possibility that this energy is uniformly spread throughout space, rather than being concentrated in specific locations, an idea that fundamentally differs from classical forms of matter and energy. 
  One of the core puzzles in understanding dark energy lies in its apparent uniformity and pervasive influence. Unlike ordinary matter, which clumps together to form stars, planets, and galaxies, dark energy seems to work in a diffuse, omnipresent manner, influencing the fabric of space itself. Its effects are subtle and counterintuitive, pushing galaxies apart rather than drawing them together.

  Columbia Disaster The: The...

  On February 1, the Columbia was due to land at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 09:16. Only a few members of the press were present to watch the landing - this was, after all, supposed to be a routine return from a routine mission, the 113th for the shuttle program and the 28th for Columbia, one of the oldest Space Shuttles. 
  Reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere is always the most dangerous part of any space mission. The intense heat generated as a spacecraft enters the thin upper atmosphere at immense speed can be potentially lethal, but the shuttle was designed to deal with this heat, and Columbia had successfully done it 27 times in the past. For the five men and two women on board and the members of the press present, everything seemed normal, but there was a measure of concern among those in the ground control team. The team was aware that Columbia had possibly suffered damage to the thermal tiles forming the heat shield on one wing soon after liftoff, but no one knew how extensive the damage was or even if it existed at all. There was also some disagreement about how serious it might be - some on the ground were concerned this might compromise the shuttle wing’s ability to resist the heat of reentry, while others were sure it was a minor issue that would have no serious impact on the mission. Videos of the launch had been exhaustively reviewed by engineers on the ground, but it was impossible to be certain of the precise level of damage to the heat shielding on the underside and leading edge of the wing.  
  There was no agreement on what should or could be done, so one thing was universally agreed upon: the crew would not be informed of the problem. There was nothing they could do to make repairs and no way to avoid reentry.
