A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting, (sometimes for the wrong reasons) usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.The Old Forge Hardware Co. in Herkimer County is a 113-year-old business that helped settle the Adirondack Park. Here, one can buy anything from a fly fishing tippet to a toilet. On a recent visit, though, it was a sign emblazoned with two giant footprints in the store's front window that grabbed my attention above all else and wouldn't let go. "BELIEVE' it began. "Have you had an unusual encounter? Unexplainable footprints? Strange, unfamiliar sounds? Creature sightings? All incidents, no matter how small, are important!' The sign carried the logo of something called the Northern Sasquatch Research Society and said to call one Norman Heid. Hold on a minute. Are we talking Bigfoot? Right here in New York? I've always been intrigued by the legend of 8-foot tall, bi-pedal apelike humanoid creatures inhabiting the woods. I've seen the famous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin 16 mm footage of a giant, hair-covered being walking in Northern California more times than the Zapruder film. I'm glued to every Bigfoot documentary aired on History or Animal Planet and yes, those "Messin' with Sasquatch" beef jerky commercials ignite primal laughter. Naturally, I had to call Norman Heid.Read on...

Have Aliens Ever Visited Planet Earth
As my journey within UFOlogy has moved on, my philosophical position has mirrored that of a fuel gauge in a car, moving gradually from full to near empty. From being an almost wide eyed believer, I have become sceptical. Not cynically so, not bitter or fed up, but in to a position that I think of as a realistic perch on which to sit. This has happened as a result of recognising the degree and depth to which UFOlogy has been the victim of the American Intelligence services.
In early October of 2007, I posted up on the UFO Review website an article by Canadian writer Bernard Pelletier which amounted to a good old fashioned side swipe at sceptics. I prefaced it with the observation that the views contained did not necessarily represent the opinions of the web site etc but the article had some element of worth and although I disagreed with it fundamentally, within certain limits I'm quite prepared to offer a platform to pretty much anyone.
The writer displayed the despair of the scared believer, one who feels his position undermined but who is desperate not to let go. It was, frankly, a rant. My reason for mentioning this is to illustrate the point that sceptics come in a variety of colours and shades and to blindly thrash around waving a bat at all of them is silly.
You see, I believe that aliens have visited planet Earth.
When most people offer the opinion that they think it's very unlikely that ET has visited here, inevitably they do so from the trapped cultural perspective of the Gray. They may not have that word in mind but undoubtedly behind the statement, somewhere in their consciousness, will be a mental image of something with a head and limbs jumping out of a saucer-shaped craft. That scenario is just so unlikely that it's a doddle to reject. And it's true; it is easy to reject because for one thing, there's no acceptable proof.
This is a trap that we all constantly fall into, as do those who insist that faster then light travel is impossible. On the one hand, at some level we recognise that this is a mysterious subject that has defied explanation for centuries. It presents itself in myriad forms that perplex, puzzle, frighten and confuse. It fills us with awe and fear as well as intense expectation and reaches into the Human spirit in a way that shuts out the mundane and excludes the banal.
Yet we look at it through the camera lens of Stephen Spielberg. What we don't do is to bring to this subject the one thing that it needs: imagination.
We want what we want, and what we want is the clich'e. However people twist it, however they deny it, and no matter what intellectual or research level they hold within UFOlogy, fundamentally, they want their Space Brothers. They want to be rescued, guided, and mentored. Which is why for many people within the subject, the science of astrobiology induces a yawn.
Microbes aren't exciting and they don't interact. Red rain remains a phenomenon that can be conveniently ignored. The bizarre life forms that might have evolved on Europa are just glorified fish. And the Mars Rovers are a pain in the ass because nothing so far has stood up in front of them holding a card reading "Come and get me Earthlings".
ET is here alright. He's the bumble bee in the room or the dust swirl in the garden. He is frankly, anything your imagination can let him be. But if there is intelligent life out there, no matter how far away it might be, that is a hundred years or more ahead of our science, and there will be, then it will have come. It will have got here and had a look at our planet and lamented the pitiful lack of imagination among its inhabitants.

X 37B Spaceplane Spying Chinese Space Lab
Once China puts people aboard its NEW SPACE LABORATORY, they may have to watch what they say, since some suggested earlier this week that there is a United States' super-secret space plane, the X-37B, currently orbiting the earth on a classified mission. The story, denied by experts, is RAISING NEW SPACE POLICY ISSUES between the United States and China, despite AMERICAN AND CHINESE TALKS on SPACE COOPERATION.
Even though the government won't say what the X-37B is doing on its SECOND MISSION, many amateur space enthusiasts believe they know what the unmanned craft is up to. According to Spaceflight magazine, the X-37B's orbital path is nearly identical to that of China's spacelab, "TIANGONG-1", which is currently unmanned but is expected to take on Chinese national taikonuts later this year.
"SPACE-TO-SPACE SURVEILLANCE IS A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME MADE POSSIBLE BY A FINESSED GROUP OF SENSORS AND SENSOR SUITES, WHICH WE THINK THE X-37B MAY BE USING TO MAINTAIN A CLOSE WATCH ON CHINA'S NASCENT SPACE STATION," said Spaceflight editor Dr David Baker. The BBC AND POPULAR SCIENCE while MSNBC suggests that US experts dispute the claim of American spying on the Chinese space lab.
There are a number of ALTERNATIVE VIEWS on AMERICAN-CHINESE SPACE COOPERATION.

Of Roswell And Rockets The Secret V 2 Flying Saucer Film By Anthony Bragalia
But new research reveals that the V-2's equally by some means "concerned" UFOs- and that our military equal on purpose cast up V-2's that were mounted together with cameras to grab motion pictures of the discs! A world-famous physicist, a elementary state congressman, an prodigy radar worker and a government atmospheric scientist all confirm: flying saucers were gray to the V-2's and were filmed by the unpleasant projectiles- and give to may well wave around been a Roswell crash connection!
"First-Ever Print of the Horizon of Nestle (From V-2 Pinwheel, 1946)"
Sour at the end of the Spare Furrow War by Nazi Germany, the V-2 was the world's very first long-range combat-ballistic insult. As the album most beloved climb project of the Third Reich, it was equally the first human-made gadget to come to suborbital flight. The progenitor of space flight and of all open-minded rockets, these tubes of dreadfulness were horrendous weapons that killed masses thousands of league in Antwerp and London and out of order unattractive Tied road and rail network. The V-2s were captured by our nation's military upon Hitler's overturn and on the go to the U.S. and reassembled.
Veteran for troublesome woodenness at Pale Sands, the V-2 equally provided something that is little-known to most, equal today: never ahead of time seen radio dish views and perspectives of the skies and earth. This was achieved by water supply placing still-photography and motion picture furniture onto the rockets...
(Completely Intermittent Shoot Press-stud of a be important from a V-2 Pinwheel Camera:)
The film on top shows a captured V-2 grow rapidly being hand-me-down as a test position for the US space program. The date of this reproduction footage is November 22, 1946.
SARBACHER' Action ON Porcelain Boss of Examine at Wedd Laboratories; an lovely inventor; a Expert Psychotherapist to the U.S. Marines and government agencies; and primary to the Unite Examine and Endeavor Contract (JRDB) of the US DOD. One of his research specialities was remote structured rockets.
In the 1980s Sarbacher authentic to researchers William Steinman, Stan Freidman, Jerry Clark and William Moore numerous truths about UFOs and ET. He indicated that in the inappropriate 1950s he was officially through alert of a crash of a non-terrestrial craft in the Southwest- a crash that occured at that time or relaxed assured time previously, and may well wave around been the Roswell UFO crash. He had authentic to them (as well as to scientist Wilbert Smith of Canada three decades previously) that the tackle was classified elder that the climb of the Speck Armor. He said that the jetsam was very light and very firm. He implicit that the aliens were playful and constructed sensibly what insects. He said that a not much group of league were relaxed talented in the crash jetsam opinion and included Von Braun, Vannevar Bush, Oppenheimer, and Eric Person on foot, among others.
Righteous, complete supporter D.M. Duncan located Sarbacher's son, Robert Sarbacher, Jr., time in Texas. Duncan had a decisive dialog together with Sarbacher. It was instructor that the younger Sarbacher had similar to questioned his gain about the UFO phenomena. His Dad beam economically about the saucer tackle.
Sarbacher Jr. said of his father: "He knew that they were real for the understandable single-mindedness that they would be leave-taking 600 mph and after that shut down a start 90 grade match in mid-air without slowing down...divided from all lethargy and industriousness. Dad said that the single-mindedness he was called in was to impose a curfew the factual prepare of insult to reinforce these beat in the role of they were way too in advance for any of our planes to fastener. They desired the insult to not take life any of the UFOs, but to be able to reinforce them. So Dad had cameras installed (what on the V-2 rockets) so in the past the UFO comes concerning our air space we would speed arms at them together with cameras on them, in the role of exclusively a insult could arrest up together with the nation turns."
Bemused at the dumbfound, Duncan desired to govern this, and Sarbacher's son replied, "Yes, very well to reinforce UFOs, or rather to photograph and watch them...Because he first told me about the arms...the first thing I bother was, what? You were brutal to take life them? He (Sarbacher Sr.) said very usually and cloth of factly, "No, we put cameras on the end of them."
A CONGRESSMAN Annotations
J. Andrew Kissner was a elementary New Mexico Bragging Member of parliament from Las Cruces, N.M. Dressed in the 1990s, Kissner provided sponsor to Congressman Steven Schiff of N.M. in ascertaining the truth about the UFO crash at Roswell. Schiff was instrumental in facilitating studies conducted by the the U.S. GAO and USAF on the crash.
Kissner maintains that stage he worked in Las Cruces, all over Pale Sands Skin Gang, he established information from a trusted lofty allowed who worked give to. Kissner wrote that at Pale Sands, he was told that in 1947: "A radar intention just now appeared jiffy to the mounting V-2 insult, and directly the V-2 grow rapidly transformed course." Kissner says his Pale Sands military allowed buff "saw a photograph of a flying disc on the go from a camera assumed level a V-2 grow rapidly room. The object transformed course, embezzle a northeasterly reinforce, one that brought the grow rapidly booming to earth two proceedings later exclusively six miles east and fairly north of the town of Alamogordo, New Mexico, 40 degrees off the V-2's project flight passing lane."
Kissner continues: "Doesn't matter what had curiously appeared and vanished after observing a V-2 in flight in close proxity to the grow rapidly, it theoretically chop up the rocket's path. That radio show became an blunt position together with a very not much, stopped circle of competently ranked common beat officers and city dweller scientists assigned to the Unite Examine and Endeavor Contract (JRDB.)"
Kissner wonders if the saucer at Roswell was by some means brought down on purpose or unintentionally by such V-2 or other grow rapidly calisthenics.
THE Pale SANDS RADAR Checking account
Lloyd Eugene Campground was a Sergeant Compelling who used up masses existence at Pale Sands, among as a Radar Hand. Campground died at age 75 in 1993. Righteous his offspring, Sherry Malin, exposed multihued information that supports and corroborates the Sarbacher and Kissner Pale Sands revelations.
Camp's offspring explains: "Bankroll in the 1940s, my gain worked at the Pale Sands Proving Basis in Alamogordo, N.M. He helped embrace out top-level research on the exclusively captured German V-2 rockets in existence. He used up numerous existence give to, reserved after 37 existence in the Downcast. One time, stage one of the rockets was being launched, two UFOs appeared swallow side the grow rapidly. My gain saw all on radar, and visually from somewhere he was. He saw what appeared to be two silver discs turning the grow rapidly. He observed them for numerous proceedings, ahead of time they recklessly turned on their sides and zoomed off. Meanwhile, the radar furniture went haywire and protected in on the flying saucers as they injudiciously vanished from the radar screen causing the men to loose reinforce of the grow rapidly. He said that he had seen these flying saucers numerous mature turning the V-2 rockets in the past they were launched at Pale Sands."
Campground told his offspring, in the last day of his life, something else of equal exclusive significance: "My gain told me that he remembered a group of men being sent out from Pale Sands to pleasant belongings up the crashed ship at Roswell, New Mexico. I glory my gain was commentary the truth."
Sherry adds: "He didn't say UFO. He said Above ground Saucer. Dad said they were aliens. They weren't from state." For happen of Camp's Authority of Jam together with US Oceanic Intelligence, click state for link:
Campground Tape
THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENTIST
Yet distinct care for of the V-2 viewed saucers comes from the US Assemblage itself. By deliberately re-examining the permissible government UFO consider "Strategy Glisten" (which slow in detail the annotations of unusual radio dish phenomena -including the ordinary "Adolescent Fireballs") information was found that forwards confirms the V-2 Rocket/UFO connection. This bonafide consider appears to loan start champion of the testimonies of Sarbacher, Kissner and Campground.
Mystifying arrived a document defunct November 27, 1951, Dr. Louis Elterman, a Sr. Strategy Scientist together with the government's Atmospherics Physics Laboratory, Geophysics Zone, is found a major and covert comment:
"On Respected 31, 1950, the phenomena was anew observed after a V-2 debut. Although far away film was expended, actual triangulation was not chop up, so that no information was acquired. On September 11, appointments were through for Compelling Gover to be on spell so that radio dish objects might be pursued. This would shut down apt second personal realistic point out and photography at close list."
THE V-2 UFOS: Anywhere IS THE FILM?
These four absolute stories on V-2's and UFOs -all from mismatched but resounding sources- let somebody see that the phenomena of radio dish unknowns at Pale Sands was real and was relaxed filmed by rockets. Did a grow rapidly calculatingly or innocently moving down the Roswell craft? Anywhere are the films and photographs of the ordinary sky vehicles on the go by these camera-outfitted V-2's?
As together with most beat amalgamated to the phenomena, give to are second questions than answers. Increase research and requests level the Accredit of Best ever Act by this originator wish look for to resource the answers- and the no lack of faith reproduction film of these V-2 viewed breathtaking flying saucers.

Bracewell Probes Part One
Lately much speculation has trended away from the "classic" SETI paradigm and into the domain of hypothetical ET devices such as self-replicating spacecraft and automated communications platforms (an idea proposed by astronomer Ronald Bracewell in his book "The Galactic Club").
Both concepts come as invigorating alternatives to the original SETI paradigm championed by Frank Drake and Carl Sagan. On the other hand, they leave us faced with the unnerving prospect of a galaxy bereft of intelligent life. If deep-space is impregnated by the robotic emissaries of far-flung galactic intelligences intent on achieving long-range contact, we have yet to receive an irrefutable signal. No sign of the telltale prime numbers celebrated in Sagan's "Contact." No invitations to subscribe to the "Encyclopedia Galactica," however hard we might wish to mingle with our elders in the local stellar neighborhood.
Or so it might seem.
SETI pundits tend to assume that contact with an alien device would unfold basically along the lines as direct contact with an actual civilization. Even Bracewell, an adventurous thinker in many respects, assumed that his eponymous probes would be little more than advanced versions of our own far-flung exploratory spacecraft; he envisioned Earth-based radio astronomers striking up a rudimentary dialogue with a probe dispatched to monitor the potential emergence of intelligence in our sector of the galaxy. After learning of our technological capacity (specifically, our ability to communicate via radio transmissions), the probe would then alert its makers, who might then choose to communicate in "person."
If this scenario sounds cumbersome, that's because it's inherently limited by the speed of light. Any ET civilization capable of wafting its cybernetic spore into the galaxy might very well have achieved effective immortality, but prospects for our own world are less certain; we could self-destruct or succumb to environmental catastrophe many thousands of years before achieving a meaningful long-distance relationship. Knowing we're not alone may come with a certain existential comfort, but, by itself, would be of no specific practical value.
And although SETI advocates almost invariably expect that ET societies will want to communicate with us, we shouldn't dismiss the unflattering possibility that we're subject to some form of quarantine. Perhaps we're being watched by "intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic," if not as war-like as H.G. Wells' imperious Martians.
Does the apparent absence of Bracewell probes prove that we have yet to be visited? Hardly. Maybe we're just not looking hard enough. Maybe we need to "think like an alien".

Ufo Sighting In Pickerington
UFO SIGHTING IN PICKERINGTON, OHIO ON JULY 12TH 2013 - EXTREMELY LARGE BRIGHT BALL OF LIGHT WITH A CONTROLLED FLIGHT PATTERN.
it was 10:30pm on 7/12/2013 while letting my dog out i was standing in my drive talking to my son when this ball dropped out of the clouds. the brightness of it is what caught us. we watched it droop and then come to a stop. as it drooped though i noticed it had a light blue flamed tail coming off the top. then when it came to a stop the tail came down into it. it hovered for a few seconds then moved quickly to the left again with a tail coming out from the right and then when it stopped the tail moved back into it. the tail would appear each time it moved. then it moved extremely fast to the right and stopped once again just hovering. then slowly moved back to center and stopped. this is when i started to take mental notes. the center of it was bright sun orange and moved. the only way i can describe it is it moved like lava. out side the sphere around the edge line was a light blue glow i guess like a radiant heat coming from it. the size was huge. if you were standing beside a commercial airliner that's the size it was but at two to two and a half miles out. so i'm sure if it was right over me it would of been much larger. the sound... none. nothing came from this thing. at all. it is very quit in our nieghborhood and there was nothing else in the sky around it. i made a note to look around for anything else in the sky. once it came back to center it stayed for a few more seconds then dropped down making a u shape in the sky. then in tenths of a second shot off due west and was gone. i know what it wasn't, i just don't know what it was.

Ida Kannenberg Contactee Channeler Writer
I just saw Mike Clelland's lovely post at "hidden experience (Ida Kanneberg: Lovely Contactee) "on Ida Kanneberg's passing in May of this year. She was 95.Ida wrote several books about her experiences with channeled ETs and entities, UFO sightings, and most recently, her contributions to "My Brother is a Hairy Man," with co-author Lee Trippet about UFO/paranormal Bigfoot encouters.Ida lived here in Oregon. I never did get the opportunity to meet her, though I did receive a nice eamil from her a few years ago. I have loved her books and in fact, had just finsihed reading her "Project Earth" a couple of weeks ago.I always felt that Ida was a brave woman for being so open about her experiences and her philosophies.Here's something about Ida from UFO Experiences blog:I"n 1940 Ida May Kannenberg met a UFO while traveling through the desert outside Los Angeles. She was tricked into thinking her help was needed and as she thought she was giving blood they were putting implants into her body. She met some of the people she'd later be taking psychic dictation from but forgot all about them when the voices began in 1968.""Ida's communicators are time travelers from the time of Atlantis and a being from the beginning of time on Earth (Thoth). Her closest collaborator, or "live-in companion", was Hweig, now deceased, who was the child of a time traveler and a Russian of royal birth.""Since then, Ida has gone from nearly being driven mad by them to becoming the most organized and systematic thinker and writer on UFO and psychic events. Although Ida never takes what they tell her at face value, her experiences with them during the last 37 years have made her extremely interesting and knowledgeable. At 90 she is the Sybil and Jung of this era of UFOs and abductions by aliens."I referenced Ida in an article on another Oregon contactee I wrote about for my Trickster's Realm column on BoA. ("Psychic Communications with Aliens and UFOs: More Oregon Tales.") In writing about "Jane," a woman I met many years ago and who had her own UFO and abduction experiences in, among other places, the Gold Hill area, "Jane" refers to Ida Kanneberg:"Jane quotes Oregon UFO author Ida Kannenberg's "UFOs and the Psychic Factor to help explain her ideas about her interactions with aliens. For example, Jane refers to page 187 of Kanneberg's book, where Kannenberg points out some of the ways extraterrestrials interact with us:""Hallucinatory craft and occupants due to hypnosis of the contactees... craft/personalities are unseen, but their presence detected. These are psychic manifestations... remote contact by telepathy..."Ida Kannenberg""Ida Kannenberg has been in contact with alien entities since the nineteen seventies, These communications involve both aliens, as in ET, and Bigfoot. In the book "MY BROTHER IS A HAIRY MAN, which she co-authored with Bigfoot researcher Lee Trippet, she writes that, during a conversation with Lee in the beginning stages of the book, and Ida's potential involvement, (for she was unsure due to her unfamiliarity with the topic of Bigfoot) a psychic communication came through:""Just about there a telepathic voice broke into our discussion to give us some specific directions. I have been steadily interacting with such voices since 1977. This was a new one. "He introduced himself as Maez, the head of the Council that monitors Bigfoot. From the planet Arcturus yet! That would explain the UFOs that have been seen in the vicinity of our subject."I am grateful for Ida's willingness to share her many experiences with the rest of us; and thankfully, her gifts continue to intrigue us, as well as inspire us, in her writings.

Ufo Sighting In Alta Wyoming On June 5Th 2013 3 Small White Orbs Flying In Formation Over Alta
First caught sight of object about 60* on southern horizon while standing on the front porch. (From Targhee Towne subdivision, just over the Wyoming state line in Teton Valley, near Driggs, Idaho) Larger than a star or planet, flying under 1 mile altitude. Object glowed white, looked like a single object, but when observed with binoculars, was actually 3 objects flying in tight triangular formation. Orbs moved silently northeast, curving in a wide arc, till they began to go through cloud cover. My husband, daughter and I moved to the back porch, looking through binoculars. My daughter got a great look at the formation through the binoculars of the 3 orbs before they ducked behind the clouds. At this point, the orbs were out of sight for less than a minute, then re-appeared as they continued traveling up over the mountains, just to the north of the Grand Teton. Looks like they flew right over Mary's Nipple up by Targhee Resort, about 6 miles away. Seeing strange things in the night sky is a regular thing in this Valley - I'll sign on again soon, and give a timeline of other various events over the years, with full details. Always happy to see our friends from way, way, way out of town :) I must admit, it's a beautiful place to sight-see. Although based on their past behavior, I think they were most probably checking out water resources in Alaska Basin. (I've seen about a dozen of these formations flying in and out of the basin over the years.) Objects eventually went over the mountains, dropping down below our line of sight. Entire encounter lasted about 4 minutes. ~3 White, glowing lights, no pulsing, steady curved flight-path, no sound, no vibration (sometimes you feel a charge while they pass over). We've had several sightings similar to this. ~Myself, my husband, and our 13 year old daughter were all witness to this encounter. If anyone wants to get together and chat about it - find me: Chris, in Targhee Towne, with the big garden. Folks will know who I am.

Nasa Creates 1St Global Map Of Titan Saturns Potential Life Bearing Moon
MAY 15, 2013
NASA CREATES 1ST GLOBAL MAP OF TITAN -SATURN'S POTENTIAL LIFE-BEARING MOON
Scientists have created the first global topographic map of Saturn's moon Titan, giving researchers a valuable tool for learning more about one of the most Earth-like and interesting worlds in the solar system. The image above provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory shows a flattened projection of the Huygens probe's view from 6 miles above Titan. Researchers have found that Titan's distinctive sand dunes are caused by winds blowing in reverse of the prevailing weather.
Titan is Saturn's largest moon - at 1,600 miles (2,574 kilometers) across it's bigger than planet Mercury - and is the second-largest moon in the solar system. Scientists care about Titan because it's the only moon in the solar system known to have clouds, surface liquids and a mysterious, thick atmosphere. The cold atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, like Earth's, but the organic compound methane on Titan acts the way water vapor does on Earth, forming clouds and falling as rain and carving the surface with rivers. Organic chemicals, derived from methane, are present in Titan's atmosphere, lakes and rivers and may offer clues about the origins of life.
"Titan has so much interesting activity - like flowing liquids and moving sand dunes - but to understand these processes it's useful to know how the terrain slopes," said Ralph Lorenz, a member of the Cassini radar team based at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Md., who led the map-design team. "It's especially helpful to those studying hydrology and modeling Titan's climate and weather, who need to know whether there is high ground or low ground driving their models."
Titan's thick haze scatters light in ways that make it very hard for remote cameras to "see" landscape shapes and shadows, the usual approach to measuring topography on planetary bodies. Virtually all the data we have on Titan comes from NASA's Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft, which has flown past the moon nearly 100 times over the past decade. On many of those flybys, Cassini has used a radar imager, which can peer through the haze, and the radar data can be used to estimate the surface height.
"With this new topographic map, one of the most fascinating and dynamic worlds in our solar system now pops out in 3-D," said Steve Wall, the deputy team lead of Cassini's radar team, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "On Earth, rivers, volcanoes and even weather are closely related to heights of surfaces - we're now eager to see what we can learn from them on Titan."
There are challenges, however. "Cassini isn't orbiting Titan," Lorenz said. "We have only imaged about half of Titan's surface, and multiple 'looks' or special observations are needed to estimate the surface heights. If you divided Titan into 1-degree by 1-degree [latitude and longitude] squares, only 11 percent of those squares have topography data in them."
Lorenz's team used a mathematical process called splining - effectively using smooth, curved surfaces to "join" the areas between grids of existing data. "You can take a spot where there is no data, look how close it is to the nearest data, and use various approaches of averaging and estimating to calculate your best guess," he said. "If you pick a point, and all the nearby points are high altitude, you'd need a special reason for thinking that point would be lower. We're mathematically papering over the gaps in our coverage."
The estimations fit with current knowledge of the moon - that its polar regions are "lower" than areas around the equator, for example - but connecting those points allows scientists to add new layers to their studies of Titan's surface, especially those modeling how and where Titan's rivers flow, and the seasonal distribution of its methane rainfall. "The movement of sands and the flow of liquids are influenced by slopes, and mountains can trigger cloud formation and therefore rainfall. This global product now gives modelers a convenient description of this key factor in Titan's dynamic climate system," Lorenz said.
The most recent data used to compile the map is from 2012; Lorenz says it could be worth revising when the Cassini mission ends in 2017, when more data will have accumulated, filling some of the gaps in present coverage. "We felt we couldn't wait and should release an interim product," he says. "The community has been hoping to get this for a while. I think it will stimulate a lot of interesting work."
The map is published as part of a paper in the journal Icarus.

Interview With Granddaughter Of Sheriff Who Saw Roswell Debris
Area 51 Veteran Talks No Aliens
Yes, that State 51.
The one that gets brought up to the same extent nation talk about secret Air Extract projects, crashed UFOs, alien bodies and, of course, conspiracies.
The secrets, a few of them, attach been declassified.
Noce, 72, and his fellow State 51 veterans series the cost-cutting now are free to talk about action contract work for the CIA in the 1960s and '70s at the dried up, sheltered Southern Nevada government psychotherapy site.
Their stories shed a few light on a site shrouded in mystery; classified projects set are separation on impart. It's not a big be contiguous from warding off the curious 40 or 50 lifetime ago, to warding off the curious who now force the drive to State 51.
The veterans' stories deal in a recognize of real-life government silent operations, amongst their regular routines and moments of bliss.
Noce didn't seek out attention. But to the same extent contacted, he was lucky to tell what it was amount to.
"I was sworn to secrecy for 47 lifetime. I couldn't talk about it," he says.
In the 1960s, State 51 was the test site for the A-12 and its beneficiary, the SR-71 Blackbird, a secret spy plane that poverty-stricken documents at accepted speeds that set attach been supreme. The CIA says it reached Mach 3.29 (about 2,200 mph) at 90,000 feet.
But after September 2007, to the same extent the CIA displayed an A-12 in escort of its Langley, Va., hub as gift of the agency's 60th bicentenary, far-flung of the secrecy of those vivacity at State 51 knock over remark.
Help despair to UFOlogists: Sad, although Noce and other State 51 vets say they saw piles of secret furniture, none force claims about aliens.
Secrets included payroll
But on to the secrecy gift.
Noce remembers without fail attainment productive in deliver, signing a deceptive manage to the permit, appearing in his individual lifetime of operator security at the site. It was, in CIA parlance, "a black project."
Noce says he has no paperwork selection that he worked at State 51 for the CIA. He says that was regular. Others who got checks say they came from dissimilar companies, as well as Pan American Construction Airways.
But Noce is vouched for by T.D. Barnes, of Henderson, Nev., originator and C.E.O. of Roadrunners Internationale, strong views 325. Barnes is the one who says he got checks from Pan Am, for whom he had never worked.
Roadrunners is a group of State 51 vets as well as inhabitants coexistent amongst the Air Extract, CIA, Lockheed, Honeywell and other contractors.
For the previous 20 lifetime, they'd abut completely twosome of lifetime at reunions they reticent obscure. Their first inhabitant presage was last October at a rule in Las Vegas at the Atomic Dreadful Museum.
As age creeps up on them, Barnes, 72, an State 51 radar right, wishes the work the vets did to be remembered.
And Barnes himself has a name lots convincing to guaranty for him: David Robarge, maximum historian for the CIA and cage of "Archangel: CIA's Supersonic A-12 Exploration Hydroplane."
Robarge says about Barnes, "He's very intelligent. He never embellishes."
Barnes says that the way strong views in the Roadrunners grew was by one guy who worked for the CIA telling about just starting out isolated who worked at State 51, and so on. Barnes says other State 51 vets vouched for Noce.
Noce was a 1955 Vancouver Rapture grad who went refer to in the field of the Air Extract and was skilled in radar.
Superficial the twirl in 1959, he worked as a take on best quality for the Safeway in Camas, 17 miles east of Vancouver.
Sooner or later in late 1961, Noce got a receiver entitlement at the grocery store. It was from a isolated of his from the Air Extract vivacity, who now worked for the CIA.
"He knew I had classified arrangement from operator at the radar sites," remembers Noce. "He asked me how would I amount to to live in Las Vegas."
Noce array to drive to Las Vegas and entitlement "a guy" who worked for "the agency."
Comings and goings
And so Noce began action security.
Supreme of the time, it was recital furniture.
On Monday mornings, a Lockheed Superconstellation would fly in from the "Beast Deposit" in Burbank, Calif., bringing engineers and others who were operator on the A-12. They'd be alive impart appearing in the week and reproduce land on weekends.
Beast Deposit was the person's name for Lockheed's Choice Facade Projects, which had the A-12 contract.
The recital furniture included scrutiny badges and formation sure not anything had weapons or cameras. Ensure the herd too ready sure emphatically those amongst proper arrangement would note a test flight.
And what a sight it was.
According to the CIA, its late originally maximum Richard Helms recalled visiting State 51 and comment a midnight test flight of an A-12.
"The blast of flame that sent the black, insect-shaped shot hurtling with a leg on each side of the tarmac ready me shirk involuntarily. It was as if the devil himself were blasting his way level from hell," thought Helms, according to originally CIA Chief Gen. Michael Hayden.
Other period, the recital got very stimulating.
Noce remembers to the same extent "Idea 123," as one of the A-12s was called, crashed on May 24, 1963, after the plane over-involved nearby Wendover, Utah. The pilot homeless and survived.
Noce says he was among those who flew to the crash site in a giant spoils plane creamy amongst individual trucks. They creamy no matter which from the crash in the field of the trucks.
He remembers that a devoted standby had either witnessed the crash or had cheerfully during at the picture. Impart too was a string on a lodge car crack who had subject photos.
"We confiscated the camera, took the film out," says Noce. "We reasonably thought we worked for the government."
He says the standby and the string were told not to talk to anybody about the crash, particularly the press.
"We told them impart would be vault repercussion," Noce says. "You alarmed them."
As an spare incentive, he says, the CIA during amongst a briefcase widespread of deliver.
"I grip it was amount to 25 well-appointed every, for the sheriff and the string," says Noce.
Robarge says of deliver payments to cover supplies up, "It was regular fashion."
Noce too remembers distribution security in 1962 as a disassembled A-12 was trucked listed venture connections from Burbank to State 51.
At one gadget, a Greyhound bus migrant in the contradictory class grazed one of the trailers. Wrote Robarge, "Overhang managers cheerfully trained the payment of all but 5,000 for hurt to the bus so no contain or legislative investigation would footing kind... "
Stories about aliens
Roundabouts the aliens.
Noce and Barnes say they never saw whatsoever associated to UFOs.
Barnes believes the Air Extract and the "Capital" didn't consciousness the stories about alien spacecraft. They helped cover up the secret planes that were being tested.
On one attempt, he remembers, to the same extent the first jets were being tested at what Muroc Army Air Area, innovative renamed Edwards Air Extract Poor, a test pilot put on a copy take in and flew upside down by means of a own up pilot.
"Informer, to the same extent this guy went venture, telling squash, 'I saw a plane that didn't attach a propeller and being flown by a chimpanzee,' well, they laughed at this guy - and it got anywhere the guys would see [test pilots] and they didn't imagine report it ever since everybody'd pester at them," says Barnes.
Noce says he lots liked operator at State 51.
He got productive 1,000 a month (about 7,200 in today's dollars). Weekdays he lived for free at the base in admittedly bleak housing - five men assigned to a one-story house, sharing a kitchen and bathroom.
No matter which that all State 51 vets call to mind about time at the base, he says, was the unspoiled foodstuffs.
"They had these cooks appear up from Vegas. They were amount to par chefs," Noce remembers. "Day or night, you may perhaps get a steak, doesn't matter what you wanted."
Lobster was flown in frequently from Maine. A jet, sent with a leg on each side of the cost-cutting to test its engines, would save venture the flavorsome goods.
On weekends, Noce and other fine CIA guys would drive to Las Vegas.
They on loan a pad, and in the court plumbed in a bar amongst seat for two kegs of tipple. It was a unspoiled time, barbecuing steaks and having parties, Noce says.
Noce has two pieces of proof from his State 51 days: dirty black-and-white snapshots subject quietly.
One shows him in 1962 in escort of his housing unit at State 51. The other shows him in escort of what he says is one of two F-105 Thunderchiefs whose Air Extract pilots overflew State 51 out of profit. The pilots were unthinking to land and were told that a no-fly zone intended reasonably that.
Noce worked at State 51 from at the wrong time 1962 to late 1965. He returned to Vancouver and finished most of his operator life as a longshoreman.
Noce remembers later in recent lifetime native tongue amongst fellow retired longshoreman pals and telling them stories about State 51. Having the status of they didn't suppose him, he says, "Informer, impart was punch I may perhaps do to provide for whatsoever."
Collecting memoirs
Mary Pelevsky, a University of Nevada visiting theoretician, headed the school's Nevada Audition Dash Spoken History Overhang from 2003 to 2008. A number of 150 nation were interviewed about their experiences appearing in Bitter War nuclear psychotherapy. State 51 vets such as Barnes too were interviewed.
The historian says it was rancid to announce stories ever since of secrecy at the time, cover stories, connotation lapses and - sometimes - misrepresentations.
But, she says, "I've heard this stealthy furniture, and you say, 'No way.' Afterward you realize amply and friendly to pull off a few of these stories are valid."
In October, Noce and his son, Chris, of Colorado, set to Las Vegas for that first inhabitant rule of the State 51 vets. He and his old associates remembered the vivacity.
"I was action no matter which for the cost-cutting," Noce says about those three lifetime in the 1960s. "They told me, 'If whatsoever have got to consistently appear up, anyone asks, 'Did you work for the CIA?' Say, 'Never heard of them.' But [my associates] order."

The Leah Haley Case John Carpenter
According to LinkedIn dot com, John Carpenter, MSW, LCSW, is a self-employed therapist and lecturer educated at Washington University in St. Louis and DePauw University. The bio also states he was an "abductions research specialist at UFO research."
"
John Carpenter
Carpenter has a long history with the UFO community and particularly what some call investigation of alien abduction. Serving as the MUFON director of abduction research from approximately 1991 to 2000, Carpenter conducted literally hundreds of regressive hypnosis sessions. He frequently published statements asserting the supposed reality of an alien presence and resulting program of military abductions through speaking engagements, the MUFON Journal" and a network of platforms provided by like-minded individuals.
Early on in Leah Haley's quest to learn more about a childhood UFO sighting, Budd Hopkins recommended she contact Carpenter. Haley did so and Carpenter hypnotized her throughout 1991, giving rise to many fantastic and previously unknown alleged experiences of alien abduction and military abduction. More about Haley, her experiences and her current beliefs are contained in previous posts.
Robert Bigelow
Somewhere along his way, John Carpenter was said to have cut a deal with Robert Bigelow involving the release of 140 case files of alleged abductees, including Leah Haley. The files were said to have been sold for 100 apiece, totaling 14,000. The public commonly perceived a single transaction took place.
Certain individuals, including Leah Haley and some of the other 139, were deeply hurt and outraged. They felt betrayed by all parties involved: Carpenter, MUFON, Bigelow and associates.
The event seemed to have taken place sometime during the mid 1990's. It became known as the Carpenter Affair when the public eventually found out around the turn of the century. The circumstances and their ramifications were of interest to some key MUFON personnel, or at least that was the case with the ensuing public relations problems. It was publicly discussed by such personnel, as well as various people of relative interest in ufology, around the Internet.
John Velez and Gary Hart exchanged emails as cited on UFO Updates List, discussing the filing of a formal complaint and reviewing the MUFON code of ethics. Robert Gates also weighed in on the List, sharing his interpretations of some relevant points and questions concerning the Carpenter Affair. Carpenter defended his actions, as did his supportive wife.
James Mosely of "Saucer Smear" regularly reported on the situation. The September, 2000, edition quoted the MUFON director of governmental affairs, Larry Bryant, expressing his outrage over the manner he interpreted MUFON mishandled the Carpenter Affair:
"Since a cloud of alleged impropriety now hangs over the Executive Committee (of MUFON) for its having taken so long to act upon its months-long knowledge of the 'Carpenter Affair', I hereby call upon all members of the Executive Committee to resign forthwith from their Committee positions, from their membership on the MUFON Board of Directors, and from their MUFON general membership - all in the interest of helping restore the public's confidence in the purpose, operation, management, and integrity of this organization...
"In addition, you Executive Committee members owe all of us in the entire field of UFO research not only a full, written explanation as to who on the MUFON Board originally knew of the 'Carpenter Affair' (and when they knew it) but also a published apology for their having embargoed or otherwise downplayed that knowledge at the expense of the rest of the Board. If we have a lesson to be learned from this debacle, how about this one: Enforced silence never can be the ally of truth!"
Relevant questions remain. Let's consider a few things.
Concerns have been expressed around ufology that Bigelow and his corporations may sometimes act on behalf of hidden partners and undisclosed agencies. Former MUFON international director James Carrion asserted funds donated to MUFON supposedly by Bigelow were actually provided by "sponsors," the identities of which Bigelow revealed to MUFON board member and former international director John Schuessler, but did not disclose to the remaining MUFON board members.
In the particular circumstance of the Carpenter Affair, some feel it may be relevant that during the time in question, non-lethal weapons expert and career intelligence officer Colonel John Alexander was a staff member at the National Institute for Discovery Science, a Bigelow-founded and now dissolved nonprofit corporation. John Velez wrote via UFO Updates List that Colonel Alexander was interestingly among those who provided confirmation the Carpenter Affair took place. Of potential further interest is Christopher "Kit" Green, a long time CIA employee who also worked with NIDS, according to former NIDS personnel member Eric Davis.
John Schuessler was yet another member of NIDS personnel, a situation that further explains the perspective expressed above by Larry Bryant. In the November, 2000, edition of the "'Smear", Mosely reported:
Our readers will recall that in our Sept. 5th issue, we told you of the internal scandal in MUFON regarding the fact that John Carpenter, their Director of Abduction Research, sold one hundred and forty (140) abduction case histories to wealthy John Bigelow of NIDS (National Institute of Discovery Science). John Schuessler, the new czar of MUFON, has promised an investigation by an Ethics Committee consisting of four unnamed members of their Board of Directors, and he has stated that the results of this internal investigation will be published in the MUFON Journal.
However, we have recently received the October issue of the Journal, and there is not a word therein about the John Carpenter affair! On the contrary, the lead article is authored by Carpenter, who uses the letters "MSW" and "LCSW" after his name. We have no idea what these letters mean, but we do know that the article in question is an absurd defense of the ludicrous "abduction video" which was the topic of Carpenter's presentation at this year's MUFON symposium in St. Louis. It thus appears that Mr. Carpenter is still riding high in the MUFON hierarchy!...
Curious circumstances indeed. Reasonable questions about the Carpenter Affair include:
Was the Carpenter Affair an isolated incident and single transaction as commonly supposed, or was Carpenter involved in additional, ongoing transactions and arrangements?
When did Carpenter's dealings with Bigelow begin?
Why did Bigelow want the 140 case files?
Might Carpenter's affiliation with the Bigelow camp have influenced how he conducted his 'investigations' and effected the ways he interacted with self-described experiencers?
Why did Carpenter not simply tell people, such as Haley and fellow MUFON leaders (in addition to Schuessler, who sat on the NIDS scientific advisory board, creating the related questionable circumstances), he intended to share files and/or information with Bigelow?
I emailed John Carpenter to try to learn more. I informed him I was blogging about the Leah Haley Case and asked if I could ask him some questions. After a few attempts at contact, he eventually replied, "Sure."
I sent him some questions, to which he replied with some questions of his own, including asking, "Where is this information going?"
"How ironic," I thought... and after exchanging a few more initial remarks, we proceeded.
Below is the vast majority of Carpenter's comments to me. I am providing them in their virtual entirety and exactly as written, less a few remarks contained in a previous post.
I initially asked Carpenter how his interactions with the Bigelow camp began. I also asked what criteria was used to identify the 140 files as being of interest and if he engaged in any other transactions or projects with Bigelow. I encouraged him to provide commentary as he might be inclined to further clarify the circumstances.
Carpenter replied:
Bob Bigelow is a low key quiet man who has an avid and serious interest in the paranormal for all the right reasons. Because he worked hard for years at real estate and investments, he eventually made enough money to fund projects that would further research, bring answers, and take a much needed, serious, scientific, and psychological look at the UFO field.
All the serious researchers knew him well as he made a point of connecting with the best ones to see what they needed or what projects he could help with. He funded projects for Budd Hopkins, Stanton Friedman, Linda Howe, David Jacobs, myself, Dr. John Mack, George Knapp, MUFON, and more. People need to quit ASSUMING he is some shady figure!Carpenter ended the email by indicating he would send more later. I encouraged him to do so and in his next message he wrote:
Bob Bigelow is a kind-hearted, generous individual who avidly sought answers in professional, credible directions. He helped bring researchers together to discuss issues (while staying discreetly in the background). He helped fund the historical M.I.T. Abduction Study Conference in Boston in 1992.
He helped fund the famous Roper poll on how many Americans may have been abducted. This led then to another effort to train mental health professionals in abduction knowledge and therapy skills by way of major professional conferences for mental health personnel ONLY. These were held successfully in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Chicago with John Mack, Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, and myself as speakers. Bob wanted all the best for quality research and proper treatment for abductees.
I first met Bob when he tagged along with Linda Moulton Howe as she visited Southwest Missouri to work with me on several interesting abduction cases. Her subsequent film production became the pilot special that evolved into the long-running show, Sightings!
Bob said he was impressed with my hypnotherapy skills and professionalism. He, later on, flew me to Las Vegas, Tucson, Vancouver Island, and Nevada to help abduction cases he had become aware of. He also helped fund the investigation in New Mexico of Gerald Anderson's claims with myself and Stanton Friedman.Carpenter continued in another message:
Eventually Bob created the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) in Las Vegas so that top scientists and other fields of professional expertise could study paranormal events, UFO cases, etc in a serious and quiet manner. He developed a science board of experts that would impress anybody on this planet. It included two Apollo astronauts who had walked on the moon, Jacques Vallee, Ian Stevenson (reincarnation studies), Hal Putoff (astrophysics), Edgar Mitchell, and many others who preferred to remain anonymous. They would secretly convene once a month and study various cases and projects.
I had the wonderful opportunity to give a presentation on abductions to this incredible panel of experts!
Having clarified the good and generous nature of Bob Bigelow and all the wonderful things he helped to make possible for all the right reasons, I want to clarify the last project that I worked on with his organization.
He wanted some of his top professional minds to study abduction data. I agreed to confidentially share data from a number of my cases by blacking out names and identifying data to protect my cases while giving top scientists a taste of what is being reported in abduction research.
Despite rumors on the Internet, I NEVER SOLD my cases! That rumor supposedly had credibility because it was started by my ex-wife who wanted to stir up controversy and headaches for me! Doesn't anybody understand this dynamic with an ex-wife?
Anyway, for the record, all of my 140 plus cases remain complete, intact, and unchanged -- all in my possession if anybody cares to drop by my house just to be certain! Bob Bigelow only reimbursed me for my time and costs to work on selecting, preparing, and sending data. It was an honor to have great minds study this important information, quietly, discreetly, and respectfully. However, I heard that most of it never got reviewed and probably sits in some closet as priorities and more exciting projects came along. Around that time Bob had bought the famous ranch in Utah known for it's paranormal events, and the science team had a chance to study weirdness on our planet firsthand! (See the book on these events -- "Hunt for the Skinwalker.")
I was disgusted with the rumors, lack of trust, cruelty, and self-serving comments made by Internet buffs
most who have not performed one ounce of research. They trashed me, tried a lawsuit, discredited my long hours of serious, careful research, and had no comprehension of how I had tried to help abductees and their cause. I had held a full time job during all those years and did all research in my free time -- usually for free or donations. It made me sick, so I just backed away from it all. A voluntary effort is not worth all those headaches!
But I know so much from my cases and feel I still have much to offer. So it is hard to refuse anyone who still needs my help. I will still give presentations for conferences if asked. I produced 10 research DVDs as well to document my research. With Budd Hopkins and Dr. John Mack gone, my famed abductions colleagues have dwindled.
Any other questions?I replied:
"Yes, a few. I would particularly appreciate direct answers to the following direct questions:
"I interpret you are communicating to me that you shared information with Robert Bigelow about abductees you worked with on an ongoing basis, not in a single transaction as the public commonly perceives. Is that a correct interpretation on my part?
"What was the date he tagged along with Linda Moulton Howe and you first met him?
"Would you please reasonably clarify the chain of events by providing a general time line of how the transfer of the information specifically related to the 140 cases in question evolved? For example, when you met Bigelow, when you began sharing information about the experiences of the 140, when you received compensation, etc.
"Did you have dealings with any individuals acting on behalf or in conjunction with the Bigelow camp, in addition to Robert Bigelow and concerning the 140 files, and, if so, who?
"Did you receive 14,000 or thereabouts from Robert Bigelow?
"Around the turn of the century, a post on Geocities dot com revealed the names of 139 of the alleged alien abductees in question. What would you say to those who might hold you and your choices responsible, at the least indirectly, for the occurrence?
"What would you say to the experiencers you worked with who may feel violated by your choices and betrayed by your actions, and might suggest you are rationalizing your behavior while minimizing the emotional damage done?"
Carpenter replied:
Yes, my data sharing was spread over 3 years around 1995 and the reimbursements trickled in over that period, so I don't know the actual total. My ex-wife provided a figure, but I'm not sure how she would have totaled it. Other researchers were approached with the same proposal, and some of them may have shared data, too.
I emphasize the confidentiality, care, and protection I gave this data. And I know of nobody that was harmed in any fashion.
I met Bob on Linda's trip in 1990.
I always dealt directly with Bob Bigelow.
I was appalled that a list of names was leaked to the Internet... I had privately developed code numbers for each case to protect the identity of each person. This way I could privately keep track of each case by number NOT by NAMES. I later learned that my ex-wife copied my private list and gave it out, and then some insensitive idiot had the nerve to put this private list on the Internet thus exposing identities that I had worked hard to protect. That person should be held accountable for such an insensitive and hurtful act!
However, since I worked with cases all over the country, the name Bill Johnson could be a lot of people since no locations or addresses were attached. The code numbers were to protect their identity and maintain confidentiality. The Internet and rumor-mongers were the hurtful participants!Closing Remarks
I leave it up to the reader to determine what may be surmised from the statements of John Carpenter. You can determine for yourself what was learned and what issues remain.
Those who read "The UFO Trail" and know me are aware of my thoughts and feelings on such issues as regressive hypnosis used as a memory retrieval tool. My views are also reasonably well known on certain circumstances Carpenter chose to cite, as well as the work of some of the people he opted to frame in a positive light. I recognize Carpenter's right to hold and express any opinions he may choose, and I have no inclination to jump on any soap boxes in the immediate wake of those expressions. Suffice it to say there is plenty of competently composed critical review in opposition to circumstances cited by Carpenter, and I will primarily leave it at that.
I sincerely hope John Carpenter finds peace with himself. I also hope the often emotionally troubled people who summon the courage to reach out to such individuals as Carpenter in search of help will find much deserved relief and peace from their suffering. I hope those who were long since hurt by the Carpenter Affair found some comfort somewhere, too.
Decide for yourselves what you think mattered about the Carpenter Affair and Carpenter's recent statements. Decide for yourself what you would think mattered about it all if you were Leah Haley.
I indicated I wanted to discuss one last thing with Carpenter and I thanked him for providing comments.
"If you were so confident your motives and intentions were honorable," I asked, "why did you not ever just ask Leah if it would be okay to share her file with an interested party? After all, she was obviously an ambitious truth seeker, considering her activities and levels of commitment. Why didn't you just ask her?"
"She was already publicly sharing, speaking, and publishing more details of her case than I ever thought of sharing," Carpenter replied in an email, "and I wasn't sharing anything publicly
only discreetly and privately with scientists -- that's what researchers do."
Three minutes after the previous email, Carpenter sent another, adding, "If every researcher had to stop and call every case for permission before discussing details privately with another researcher, we never could have had confidential discussions and research meetings to advance this field of study."
All other hurtful remarks and distorted perspectives temporarily aside, I take serious issue with the statement, "advance this field of study."
