EXOPOLITICS MEDIA NOTE: Large Majorities of Americans and Russians Oppose All Space Weapons
| MEDIA NOTE: On September 25, 2005, Hon. Paul Hellyer, former Minister
of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, declared that “UFOs are
as real as the planes over your head.” Hellyer warned, "The United
States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the
aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever
having any warning.” The Space Preservation Treaty bans all space-based weapons, and establishes an independent Outer Space Peacekeeping Agency to monitor outer space and enforce the ban. http://www.peaceinspace.org The public opinion poll reported January 24, 2008 (See below) showing that large majorities of Americans and Russians oppose all space weapons in effect supports a public position against a weaponization - or attempted weaponization - by the U.S. military-industrial complex against ethical upper dimensional Extraterrestrial civilizations now visiting Earth.

Large Majorities of Americans and Russians Oppose All Space Weapons
Strong Bipartisan Support for Unilateral Restraint
Images beamed back from Mars would suggest so - although to sceptics, it could just be a strange rock formation.
Nasa's Mars Explorer Spirit sent back images from the surface of the
Red Planet four years ago, and there was initial disappointment among
scientists that they lacked any signs of life.
The 'alien' appears to be walking downhill But space and science fiction enthusiasts are convinced there is
more than meets the eye, and after years of studying the images, have
found what appears to be an alien figure walking downhill.
The discovery of the life-like figure ambling across the
surface of the planet is likely to further boost intrigue in our
nearest neighbouring planet.
An earlier rock formation, dubbed "the face of Mars" showed what appeared to be a human head staring into the night sky.
The pictures, found on a Chinese website, are now creating a stir of excitement on the internet.
Alien life: What seems to be a human-like Martian is pictured on Mars One keen stargazer said: "These pictures are amazing. I couldn't
believe my eyes when I looked and saw what appears to be a naked alien
running around on Mars."
Nasa's Mars Explorer Spirit is now starting its fourth year of exploration.
Painstaking: Space enthusiasts spent four years analysing this image, which on much closer inspection shows the 'alien' Rovers are deployed because it has so far been too costly and
difficult to achieve a manned mission to Mars, and because probes and
satellites are too limited to explore the Martian surface.
The Spirit rover was launched on June 10, 2003. Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk A Nasa rover vehicle called Spirit captured this image on the surface of Mars late last year
Is it a rock? A trick of Martian light on the eye? Or Osama Bin Laden waving
from his barren hideout 300 million miles from planet earth?
NASA
scientists have been puzzled by the peculiarly life-like image which has
been beamed back to earth by one of their two robot rovers that are
currently trundling about the surface of the red planet, on the hunt for
clues of life on Mars.
It will delight spacewatchers who have been so far disappointed by the lack of
images of little green men captured by the twin vehicles on their four year
mission.
The alien figure was pictured at the far left of one of the panoramic
photographs taken by the exploration rover, Spirit, from the top of a low
plateau in late 2007.
The robot vehicle and its twin, Opportunity, have been roving around on Mars
since completing their first successful mission in April 2004. Their
principle goal is to hunt for geological evidence of water, that suggest an
environment which may once have been hospitable to life.
Having been launched from Cape Canaveral, in Florida, in June and July in
2003, they travelled 487 million and 456 million km respectively to opposite
ends of the planet, where they went on to explore the dusty, rock-strewn
landscape.
Each solar-powered rover is a sort of the mechanical equivalent of a geologist
walking the surface of Mars. The mast-mounted cameras are mounted 1.5
meters(5 feet) high and provide 360-degree, stereoscopic, humanlike views of
the terrain.
The robotic arm is capable of movement in much the same way as a human arm
with an elbow and wrist, and can place instruments directly up against rock
and soil targets of interest. In the mechanical "fist" of the arm
is a microscopic camera that serves the same purpose as a geologist's
handheld magnifying lens.
The budget for the project is around $820million.
Last week, a similar probe captured the first images from the "dark side"
of Mercury, which showed previously unseen hemisphere from 17,000 miles.

In this farming community where nightfall usually brings clear,
starry skies, residents are abuzz over reported sightings of what many
believe is a UFO. Several dozen people — including a pilot, county constable and
business owners — insist they have seen a large silent object with
bright lights flying low and fast. Some reported seeing fighter jets
chasing it. "People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible
Belt, and everyone is afraid it's the end of times," said Steve Allen,
a freight company owner and pilot who said the object he saw last week
was a mile long and half a mile wide. "It was positively, absolutely
nothing from these parts." While federal officials insist there's a logical explanation, locals
swear that it was larger, quieter, faster and lower to the ground than
an airplane. They also said the object's lights changed configuration,
unlike those of a plane. People in several towns who reported seeing it
over several weeks have offered similar descriptions of the object. Machinist Ricky Sorrells said friends made fun of him when he told
them he saw a flat, metallic object hovering about 300 feet over a
pasture behind his Dublin home. But he decided to come forward after
reading similar accounts in the Stephenville Empire-Tribune. "You hear about big bass or big buck in the area, but this is a
different deal," Sorrells said. "It feels good to hear that other
people saw something, because that means I'm not crazy." Sorrells said he has seen the object several times. He said he
watched it through his rifle's telescopic lens and described it as very
large and without seams, nuts or bolts. Maj. Karl Lewis, a spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing at the Joint
Reserve Base Naval Air Station in Fort Worth, said no F-16s or other
aircraft from his base were in the area the night of Jan. 8, when most
people reported the sighting. Lewis said the object may have been an illusion caused by two
commercial airplanes. Lights from the aircraft would seem unusually
bright and may appear orange from the setting sun. "I'm 90 percent sure this was an airliner," Lewis said. "With the sun's angle, it can play tricks on you." Officials at the region's two Air Force bases — Dyess in Abilene and
Sheppard in Wichita Falls — also said none of their aircraft were in
the area last week. The Air Force no longer investigates UFOs. One man has offered a reward for a photograph or videotape of the mysterious object. About 200 UFO sightings are reported each month, mostly in
California, Colorado and Texas, according to the Mutual UFO Network,
which plans to go to the 17,000-resident town of Stephenville to
investigate. Fourteen percent of Americans polled last year by The Associated Press and Ipsos say they have seen a UFO. Erath County Constable Lee Roy Gaitan said that he first saw red
glowing lights and then white flashing lights moving fast, but that
even with binoculars could not see the object to which the lights were
attached. "I didn't see a flying saucer and I don't know what it was, but it
wasn't an airplane, and I've never seen anything like it," Gaitan said.
"I think it must be some kind of military craft — at least I hope it
was." It was New Year's Eve, after all, and people may be in altered states where they see lots of strange things. But three groups of San Diegans swear they were sober enough to
report seeing strange orange-yellow lights in the sky about 30 minutes
after midnight. And the National UFO Reporting Center said Tuesday it
got enough "similar reports from across the country" to warrant a
follow-up investigation.
Ryan Keegan and his wife, Rachael, were leaving a friend's party at
their apartment complex in Bay Park about 12:30 a.m. when they saw the
unidentified objects. They went in and got their friends and took
pictures with a cell-phone camera. "We saw four orange lights in a square and right behind there were
three orange lights in a triangle," said Keegan, who is in the
home-financing business and whose wife is a kindergarten teacher.
"There was no sound, no flashing lights, no vapor trail, just solid
lights." They continued to watch the sky and Keegan said the group saw four
more lights appear about 12:45 a.m. The lights traveled east to west,
then disappeared in the sky over La Jolla. Keegan said he and his friends had been drinking, "but we weren't drunk being that it was Near Year's." About the time same in Pacific Beach, Dustin Gannon, an amateur
astronomer, said he and about a dozen friends saw the lights from the
backyard of his home. Gannon described them as nine red dots that
traveled across the sky for about seven minutes. About a half-hour
later, the group saw four red dots. They captured the images on video. "We're still a little freaked out," he said. "It was really crazy. It wasn't fireworks." Reached at the National UFO Reporting Center in Harrington, Wash.,
about 50 miles west of Spokane, center director Peter B. Davenport said
a woman he knows in the UFO field made a similar report. She and five
people saw the lights traveling in formation heading west toward Del
Mar. She described it as one single unit with seven lights in total
followed by an orange triangle formation; both disappeared into the
marine layer over the ocean. "Based on the fact that I actually know the witness who submitted
this report, and based on the other seemingly similar reports from
across the country last night, I would categorize this sighting over
San Diego as of interest to us," Davenport said. San Diego police said Tuesday they did not receive any calls about New Year's Eve UFO sightings. The National UFO Reporting Center also received reports of similar
sightings in Santa Monica, the San Francisco Bay area and Canada. - Susan Shroder |
Most
Americans and Russians agree that their governments should work
together to prevent an arms race in space. Large majorities in both
countries favor unilateral restraint and a treaty that would keep space
free of weapons. 
Majorities
in both the United States (78%) and Russia (67%) say that as long as no
other country puts weapons into space, their own governments should
also refrain from doing so. 
“The
use of space for common protection is, in fact, far more important for
all countries under the circumstances of globalization than the pursuit
of national advantage in performing traditional military missions,”
Steinbruner said.
