What is the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena? Forty years agoa small cadre of dedicated researchers began actively investigatingcases, interviewing witnesses, and exchanging data through a small, informal network of international contacts. Today this low profilenetwork, or "invisible college," has grown into a larger, multi-nationvolunteer research effort joined by many individuals. But the questionsfirst raised 40 years ago remain current-and unanswered. "I believe that a powerful force has influenced the human race in thepast and is again influencing it now. Does this force represent alienintervention, or does it originate entirely within human consciousness?This is the question that forms the basis of the work of the InvisibleCollege of UFO researchers." - Jacques Vallee Dr. Jacques Vallee began his professional life as an astronomer at the Paris Observatory in 1961. While on the staff of the French Space Committee, he witnessed the destruction of the tracking tapes of unknown objects orbiting the earth, initiating a lifelong interest in the UFO phenomenon. Vallee arrived in the U.S. in 1962 and worked in astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin before receiving a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University in 1967. There he became a close associate of J. Allen Hynek, then scientific consultant for the U.S. Air Force on Project Blue Book-the result wasThe Invisible College. Other works by Vallee include Dimensions, Confrontations, and Revelations. Dr. Vallee is presently a venture capitalist living in San Francisco."

14 years ago, author William Stuart began to explore the darkest regions of our planet. Five years later he had enough data to state that a strain of the Knights Templar had intervened to ensure that the American War of Independence, French Revolution, American Civil War, Russian Revolution, WW1 and WW2 took place. Five more years passed, and William discovered a strange fact. When the Russian Revolution, heavy with Templar Masonry, began to fail because the 'peasant farmers' remained loyal to their Tsar, Rothschild, Khun Loeb, Warburg, J.P.Morgan, Rockefeller, Fabian Society Round Table and the American International Company stepped forward to apply direct funding to cover up the failure. Now William knew that the Templars were controlled by American finance, and such financiers took orders from Geneva. William unearthed the eerie fact that this organisation had designed 7 strategic wars as a blueprint for financial gain and New World Order in 1710. They matched their 7 wars to the "breaking of 7 seals" in the Book of Revelation, and were also all initiated into Red Masonry called Armageddon Masonry, using verses from that last book of the Bible. Now William began to suspect that there was a seventh war about to occur, a mock up of Armageddon. He set out to see if 9.11 and chaos in the Middle East had connection together, and also if both events had foundation in this satanic cabal.

Twenty-seven-year-old Sarah The barge had it all - a loving boyfriend, an Ivy League degree, and a successful career - when her life was derailed by an unthinkable diagnosis: aggressive breast cancer. After surviving the grueling treatments - though just barely - Sarah moved to Portland, Oregon to start over. There, a chance encounter with an exhausted African mother and her daughters transformed her life again. A Somali refugee whose husband had left her, Hadhi was struggling to raise five young daughters, half a world a way from her war-torn homeland. Alone in a strange country, Hadhi and the girls were on the brink of starvation in their own home, "invisible" to their neighbors and to the world. As Sarah helped Hadhi and the girls navigate American life, her outreach to the family became a source of courage and a lifeline for herself. Poignant, at times shattering, Sarah The barge's riveting memoir invites readers to engage in her story of finding connection, love, and redemption in the most unexpected places.

"High finance, the High Cabal, has been running the Brotherhood of Light very secretly for over 1500 years. It has grown stronger ... This is the story of the High Cabal, Brotherhood of Light and Seven Churches of Asia. But it is also the hardheaded story of the European Union, who designed it and what it really is. The Great European Secret remains secret until these words are read, and it is still the Invisible College; until good people ensure it is otherwise."--Back cover.

Until the sixteenth century, people believed in magic as a way of explaining how the world worked. Indeed Queen Elizabeth I had a court magician, John Dee. However during the reign of the Stuart kings magic was killed and science took its place. This change came about because a group of men met in London and decided to set up a society to study the mechanisms of nature. Yet the men who founded this society in 1660 - including Robert Moray, Christopher Wren, Elias Ashmole and John Evelyn - were not only the first scientists but the last sorcerers, performing chemical experiments with powdered Unicorn horn...They had also fought on different sides in the Civil War. The story of how they came together comes as a revelation and will change your view of history and science forever.

More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, D.W. Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors including their ubiquity in modern media like The X-Files, which can influence memory, and the believability lent to that media by the search for planets that might support life. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences, and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life.
