PBS recently aired a documentary about famed conservationist Daphne Sheldrick and a baby elephant she named Aisha and affectionately referred 1. to as “Shmetty.” Sheldrick, of British heritage, was born in Kenya and is world renowned for raising and reintegrating orphaned elephants back into the wild. Her lifelong mission began in 1974 with a chance meeting with a tiny baby elephant named “Aisha.” Separated from its mother, the baby girl had fallen down a disused well in the Kenyan county of Marsabit. She was1. A remarkable bond found by a local driver and brought to Sheldrick. It was the smallest elephant Sheldrick had ever seen, “covered still in soft fuzz, with a tiny trunk tinged with pink, and toenails of pale yellow. It tottered on wobbly legs, waggling its trunk around as though it had no idea what to do with it, searching for something to suck; too young even to know the meaning of fear. ” Sheldrick had little experience with orphaned elephants at this time, but knew that the baby needed a lot of attention. Furthermore, she had enough experience with wild animals that she knew Aisha needed a precise f ormula of milk otherwise she might not eat and likely die. After searching Aisha at 4 months old for that formula and watching Aisha wither away, she finally found one 1. that young Aisha took to and watched as the baby elephant grew stronger. An incredible bond ensued between Sheldrick and Aisha. The little elephant would follow her around all day and believed that Sheldrick was her mother. The days became months and young Aisha grew and thrived in a loving environment. One summer, Sheldrick’s daughter, Jill, was to be married in Nairobi. Another surrogate mother was to tutor and care for young Aisha as Sheldrick spent a week away. When she returned, the conservationist was horror stricken to discover that baby Aisha had become depressed, not eaten, and was gravely ill. In tears, Sheldrick explains thirty years later how she watched Aisha die as she cradled the baby’s head in her lap. She had realized that elephants are very similar to humans in their emotions and that Aisha believed that she had been abandoned by her mother, again. The story is profoundly moving and left Sheldrick taking a vow of silence for many decades; however, it inspired her to open an elephant orphanage in Kenya where she has saved the lives of thousands of PBS Documentary orphaned elephants at a wildlife preserve named after her late husband. http://video.pbs.org/video/236 5284372 Page.2 Global Gazette Hillside School Café Talk October International Café Dahmir giving USA Trivia for Miss Lord’s American Cafe Mrs. Brown made Parisian mussels as we celebrated France.

  • Book Reviews
    Book Reviews REVIEW SYMPOSIUM The UFO Controversy in America. By David M. Jacobs. Indiana Uni- versity Press, Bloomington, Ind., 1976. 362 pp. $12.50. DANIEL COHEN: David Michael Jacobs, an assistant professor of history at Temple University, has written what should have been an important book. He has reviewed the entire UFO controversy from 1947 (with a brief look at pre-1947 sightings) to 1974. This is a heroic task, for there is an enormous amount of material on the subject, most of it perfectly awful. While Prof. Jacobs has not read everything, he has clearly read more than most ordinary mortals could bear. He has attempted to do a decent job with an unwieldy subject. And yet, to one who lived through, and in a small way participated in, the UFO controversy, Jacobs' book is disappointing. The whole fuss over UFOs was a lot nuttier than he makes it sound. There is space for only a couple of examples of what I mean. Jacobs makes only one offhand mention of science-fiction and occult editor and publisher Ray Palmer. Yet noted astronomer Donald Menzel gave Palmer major credit for starting the whole UFO controversy. Palmer sure got me mto UFOs. I was a SF reading teen-ager in Chicago when UFOs, or flying saucers as they were called then, first came to public attention. Along with my fellow SF addicts, I got hooked on flying saucers through Palmer-edited publications. I lost my faith in flying saucers when I saw Palmer get smashed in a debate on the subject with Willy Ley at a SF fan convention.

    PROJECT BLUE BOOK EDUCATION AND DISCUSSION GUIDE “So many people go into science looking for power, or for a chance to make some big discovery that will put their name in the history books…For me the challenge was to find out the very limitations of science, the places where it broke down, the phenomena it didn’t explain.” J. Allen Hynek PROJECT BLUE BOOK EDUCATION AND DISCUSSION GUIDE HISTORY’s new drama series Project Blue Book is based on the true, top-secret investigations into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related phenomena conducted by the United States Air Force in the 1950s and 1960s. Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Aidan Gillen), a brilliant yet underappreciated astrophysicist and college professor, is recruited by the Air Force to spearhead a clandestine operation called Project Blue Book. Along with his partner, Air Force Captain Michael Quinn (Michael Malarkey), he is summoned to investigate UFO sightings around the country and use science to discover what really happened. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, each episode draws from actual Project Blue Book case files. By watching this series, students can gain insights into the procedures used to analyze UFO sightings and learn about the scientific methods used to determine the truth. Although it is historical fiction, the series provides opportunities for students to learn more about explorations into the history of the unknown, the development of the space program, and the post-World War II era. PROJECT BLUE BOOK EDUCATION AND DISCUSSION GUIDE CURRICULUM LINKS Project Blue Book connects with many topics and themes explored in History, Science and Technology, Politics, Physics and Current Events courses.

In this series, I share a lot of new information regarding the alien and UFO phenomenon, which is not included in the original article. As such, I encourage my long-time readers to take the time to study it. To acquire a balanced understanding of my views concerning the alien and UFO phenomenon, I likewise encourage you to also read "Alien Life, Extrasolar Planets and Universal Atonement", "Keeping Things in Proper Perspective: ET, Where Are You?"and other articles which are listed at the end of this series. The original 1997 version of this article was the result of a two-year study I conducted regarding New Age thought and UFOlogy. The vast majority of the material which I read and archived, was obtained from the Internet, and there was, and still is, plenty of it.

Reliable Witnesses, Crackpot Science: Ufo Investigations In Cold War America, 1947-1977 Abstract This dissertation explores efforts to design and execute scientific tuds ies of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the United States in the midst of the Cold War as a means of examining knowledge creation and the construction of scientific uthora ity and credibility around controversial subjects. I begin by placing officially- sanctioned, federally-funded UFO studies in their appropriate context as a Cold War national security project, specifically a project of surveillance and observation, built on traditional arrangements within the military- industrial-academic complex. I then show how non-traditional elements of the investigations – the reliance on non-expert witnesses to report transient phenomena – created space for dissent, both within the scientific establishment and among the broader American public. By placing this dissent within the larger social and political instability of the mid-20th century, this dissertation highlights the deep ties between scientific knowledge production and the social value and valence of professional expertise, as well as the power of experiential expertise in challenging formal, hegemonic institutions.

  • CIA's Role in the Study of Ufos, 1947-90
    Studies In Intelligence Vol. 01 No. 1, 1997 Page 1 sur 19 A Die-Hard Issue CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90 Gerald K. Haines An extraordinary 95 percent of all Americans have at least heard or read something about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and 57 percent believe they are real. (1) Former US Presidents Carter and Reagan claim to have seen a UFO. UFOlogists--a neologism for UFO buffs--and private UFO organizations are found throughout the United States. Many are convinced that the US Government, and particularly CIA, are engaged in a massive conspiracy and coverup of the issue. The idea that CIA has secretly concealed its research into UFOs has been a major theme of UFO buffs since the modern UFO phenomena emerged in the late 1940s. (2) In late 1993, after being pressured by UFOlogists for the release of additional CIA information on UFOs, (3) DCI R. James Woolsey ordered another review of all Agency files on UFOs. Using CIA records compiled from that review, this study traces CIA interest and involvement in the UFO controversy from the late 1940s to 1990. It chronologically examines the Agency's efforts to solve the mystery of UFOs, its programs that had an impact on UFO sightings, and its attempts to conceal CIA involvement in the entire UFO issue. What emerges from this examination is that, while Agency concern over UFOs was substantial until the early 1950s, CIA has since paid only limited and peripheral attention to the phenomena. Background The emergence in 1947 of the Cold War confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union also saw the first wave of UFO sightings.

  • A History of Government Management of UFO Perceptions Through Film and Television
    49th Parallel, Vol. 25 (Spring 2011) Graham & Alford ISSN: 1753-5794 (online) A History of Government Management of UFO Perceptions through Film and Television Robbie Graham University of Bristol* & Matthew Alford University of Bath† On 22 January 1958, the popular CBS television show Armstrong Circle Theatre presented an entire programme dedicated to the subject of unidentified flying objects entitled: “UFO: Enigma of the Skies.” Among the high-profile experts invited to speak on the show, retired US Navy Major Donald Keyhoe – director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) – was notable for his outspoken views on government secrecy surrounding the UFO phenomenon. Arguing against UFO reality on the programme were astronomer and vehement UFO sceptic Donald Menzel and Air Force representative Col. Spencer Whedon of the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC). Their task should have been an easy one as the show’s content had been scripted in advance by CBS in conjunction with the US Air Force, and all guests – especially Keyhoe – had been instructed to read their pre- approved material from a teleprompter. When it came time for Keyhoe to speak, in frustration he veered from his script and stated to the nation: “And now I’m going to reveal something that has never been disclosed before...”1 The rest of his announcement went unheard by television viewers: unbeknownst to Keyhoe, his microphone had been cut by the station. Keyhoe continued: For the last six months, we have been working with a congressional committee investigating official secrecy about UFOs. If all the evidence we have given this committee is made public in open * Robbie Graham is a doctoral candidate at the University of Bristol for a PhD examining Hollywood’s historical representations of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation.
