  Mystical Matter - Unlocking the...

  The universe we see is only a small fraction of what actually exists. All the stars, planets, galaxies, and nebulae make up less than five percent of the total mass and energy in the cosmos. The rest remains invisible, undetectable by traditional telescopes, and yet it shapes the structure and evolution of everything. Scientists refer to this unseen majority as dark matter and dark energy — mysterious ingredients that hold the key to understanding the true nature of the universe. 
  The mystery began when astronomers started noticing something strange in the way galaxies moved. Based on the visible matter alone, galaxies should not hold together. They rotate so fast that stars on the outer edges should fly off into space. But they don’t. Something must be providing the extra gravity needed to keep them in place. This unseen substance is what scientists call dark matter. It does not emit light, reflect it, or interact with electromagnetic radiation in any detectable way. Yet its gravitational effects are undeniable. 
  In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky was one of the first to point out this discrepancy. He observed clusters of galaxies and found that there wasn’t enough visible mass to account for the gravitational forces at work. He proposed the existence of “dunkle Materie,” or dark matter, to explain the missing mass. His ideas were largely ignored at the time, but decades later, further evidence confirmed his observations. Today, dark matter is widely accepted as a fundamental part of the universe, even though we still don’t know what it’s made of.

  Inca Astronomy and Astrology:...

  Though the Spanish physically conquered them in quick fashion, the culture and legacy of the Inca Empire has continued to endure throughout the centuries in both Europe and South America, due in no small part to the fact they were one of the most advanced and sophisticated cultures on the continent. Like the Aztecs, the Spanish burned much of the Inca’s extant writings, but it is estimated that as many as 35 million once fell under their banner, and the empire’s administrative skills were so sharp that they kept accurate census records. Their religion, organization, and laws were also effectively centralized and tied to the rulers of the empire, and their military mobilization would have made the ancient Spartans proud. After the Spanish conquest, several rebellions in the area attempted to reestablish the proud Inca Empire over the next two centuries, all while famous Europeans like Voltaire glorified the Inca Empire in optimistic artistic portrayals. 
  The sun was the main element present in the Inca worldview, so Inti, the sun god, was worshipped above all others and, even though the different parts of the empire were allowed to practice their individual beliefs, they were encouraged to venerate the sun. The connection with the sun even extended to their kings since they were considered to be the sons of the sun. Naturally, this meant astronomy was a key component of the Incas’ beliefs, and in addition to the sun, the Inca observed the moon, stars, constellations, and some planets, all of which became integral parts of their cosmology. The Cusco Valley was the heart of the Inca Empire, and many of the Inca's settlements have been found to contain important astronomical elements, providing clear evidence of the importance astronomy had among the Inca.

  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
