provides details on one of the MOST HIGHLY CLASSIFIED PROJECTS OF ALL TIME: “Operation XXXXX XXXXX”: The RECOVERY OF AN ALIEN SPACECRAFT WHICH CRASH LANDED ON EARTH DURING THE DINOSAUR ERA ... SHOCKING ... POSITIVELY AMAZING ... BEYOND ALL DISCLOSURE EXPECTATIONS ... LIKE A FIERY BOLT OF AN INCOMING KILLER ASTEROID FROM OUT-OF-THE-BLUE! ... U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E ... BUT 100% TRUE ... A MIND-NUMBING, RIVETING, BREATHTAKING READ!
VICTOR:
“Operation XXXXX XXXXX”: A highly classified, sensitive operation with far-reaching national security implications that took place in 1968. A XXXXX archaeological team uncovered a large metallic object in a remote area of southern XXXXX which is a close NATO ally of ours. The object was believed to be an ALIEN SPACECRAFT that had crashed approximately 200 million years ago [200 MYA] according to the archaeological team.
The site subsequently was examined by a USAF Recovery Team, which then put the age of the ALIEN CRAFT at approximately 150 million years ago [150 MYA]. I don’t think anyone can give an actual age of the site, but it was somewhere between 150 and 200 MYA, based on the location of where it was found.
Our scientists used the ABSOLUTE DATING METHOD employing decaying radioactive isotopes. Sedimentary rock formations and the fact that the object was EMBEDDED INTO THE ROCK were used to estimate the age of the ALIEN CRAFT.
The ALIEN CRAFT itself was 45 feet in diameter. The craft was transported to the State of XXXXX and then to the giant XXXXX lab complex in XXXXX and opened. The ALIEN CRAFT contained two (2) highly decomposed ALIEN BODIES and DECAYED ANIMALS, which were apparently abducted by these ALIEN BEINGS. The animals were small DINOSAURS on board the ALIEN CRAFT.
The craft was stored at XXXXX and years of intense research were conducted. The last time I checked, the research team ruled OUT the craft being of Eben origin. However, no one could tell where it came from. The ALIEN BODIES were far too decomposed to be thoroughly examined. They were about 5 feet tall and had very large, bulbous heads. To the best of my knowledge, “Operation XXXXX XXXXX” is still an ongoing project. I personally worked on the operation in the early ‘70s.
The instruments from the craft were interesting because they were made of small crystal-like devices, wired together with a form of very fine wire. The ALIEN PROPULSION SYSTEM contained a large chamber with what we called “Rocks” (obviously some form of energy) in the chamber. Large vents placed around the chamber vented some sort of power, radiation or some form of tremendous energy generated through the vents and into the propulsion chamber which enabled interstellar space travel.
Examination of the rocks found zinc, and several unknown materials and alloys which we still cannot identify to this day. The “rocks” obviously lost all of their energy over the years. They were NOT radioactive nor did they contain any special properties. We could never power up the ALIEN CRAFT in the nearly 40 years we’ve had possession of it.
We could NOT locate the actual power system and therefore could never operate any of the equipment contained within the craft. However, we did find a “Star Chart.” The chart was created from outside of the Earth on the ALIEN HOME WORLD. To this day, we have been UNable to read and decipher the ALIEN STAR CHART. The star chart was of a deep area of space, but our scientists haven’t been able to find that specific area of space.
Your analogy of our work on “Operation XXXXX XXXXX” and that of transporting an SR-71 Blackbird back to the year 1200 AD was a good one:
If we returned 300 years later to the year 1500 AD, little, if anything, could have been learned by our ancestors as to how the Blackbird worked. In much the same way, the amazing, almost majic-like ALIEN TECHNOLOGY on this craft has similarly stumped us; while some progress HAS been made on it since 1968, it’s been MINIMAL (partially due to the poor, degraded condition of the ALIEN CRAFT).
Because this is an ongoing USG project, I ask that you place “X’s” over the critical names and locations [sent in a subsequent e-mail] though you have the correct information. As a brief aside, you may share the blacked out information with Dr XXXXX X XXXXX whose work on past classified USG projects bestows a certain professional courtesy upon him in that he deserves to know the particulars.
Victor, I agree with you that the existence of ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS who had already achieved space traveling capabilities zipping around the Milky Way Galaxy (and perhaps others) truly BOGGLES THE MIND. As you wrote me, the Ebens were perhaps still in their “galactic diapers” when these ALIEN BEINGS were already visiting other worlds ~150-200 MYA and Homo Sapiens did not even exist!
One can only wonder and speculate where a civilization—that had already achieved interstellar space travel—would be at TODAY technologically from 150-200 MYA! How many star systems have they visited by now? How many other alien civilizations have they made successful contact and interacted with, and perhaps carry on some sort of trade with? How many solar systems have they visited and mapped out in our Milky Way Galaxy and perhaps those of OTHER galaxies?
One also has to consider the POSSIBILITY that rather than this crash having occurred in OUR timeline of 150-200 MYA, these ALIEN BEINGS traveled to Earth from the FUTURE to our distant PAST—when DINOSAURS ruled—as part of a research mission ... THAT also BOGGLES the mind!

More to come....

To better understand the IMMENSE BLOCKS OF GEOLOGIC TIME we’re discussing here, these measures of time are called: eras, periods, stages, epochs, ages and time. Planet Earth’s origin is generally put at 4.6 BILLION YEARS ago which is the age of the oldest meteorites found. To better appreciate the vastness of geologic time, let’s think of those 4.6 billion years as represented by A SINGLE YEAR.
• The oldest fossil records go back only about 40 days out of that 365-day year;
• Humans’ presence on the planet is only about two (2) hours;
• Homo sapiens sapiens (modern humans) presence on the planet is only about five (5) MINUTES!

Using the 1-year model, it makes the notion of evolution possible, probable and comprehensible.
One of the major divisions in the history of life occurs at the beginning of the CAMBRIAN PERIOD [542 - 488 MYA which falls under the PALEOZOIC ERA] when most of the main groups of animals appeared for the first time in the vast geologic record. The seas experience an explosion of invertebrate animal life, including thousands of species of trilobites; there is NO life on land yet.
All of this occurs after massive collisions between Earth’s plates create a supercontinent in the southern hemisphere known as GONDWANALAND. In the northern hemisphere was LAURASIA, both of which were west of the TETHYS SEA. Both of these land masses came from a single supercontinent called PANGEA that scientists believe broke apart ~170 MYA to form the current continents that we have today. [ REFERENCE: http://serpo.org/release30j.php ]
IMPORTANT NOTE: More than 88 percent of Earth’s history is PRECAMBRIAN! Of the remaining time—when Earth has been home to animal life as we know it—the part that includes HUMANS and their ancestors is less than ONE (1) PERCENT!
NOTE: There are several VARIANTS of the geological time scale used in different fields such as basic paleontology, mainstream geology, geological surveying and prospecting for fossil fuels.
The major divisions of geological time are termed EONS (beginning of time) and then ERAS. In turn, each of these great eras is divided into spans called PERIODS. These are then broken down into STAGES within those eras.
For the next-to-the-last—the PALEOGENE PERIOD—and the current NEOGENE PERIOD, time spans are subdivided into shorter time spans known as EPOCHS.
The ALIEN SPACECRAFT that crashed on Earth was roughly during the JURASSIC PERIOD of 199 - 145 MYA; this is what was present on Earth during that period:
• North American continent drifts westward opening the Gulf of Mexico; a rift forms between South America and Africa. A warm, moist climate contributes to the flourishing of coral reefs and to temperate and subtropical forests.
• It marks the appearance of the first angiosperms (flowering plants), pterosaurs (winged reptiles), the earliest known bird (Archaeopteryx), and huge dinosaurs such as the carnivorous Allosaurus and herbivorous Apatosaurus.
 

The PRIMARY LIFE FORMS DURING THE JURASSIC PERIOD:
Placodonts, primitive archosaurs, chordates, brachiopods, echinoderms, hemichordates, sponges, jellyfish, corals, flatworms, mollusks, annelids, arthropods, Ichthyosaurs, Rhamphorhynchoids, Stegosaurs, Pleisiosaurs, Pterodactyloids, Ankylosaurs, Ornithopods, horned dinosaurs, Sauropods and Teropods.
DINOSAURS: They existed on Earth from 225 - 65 MYA during the three (3) periods of the MESOZOIC ERA: The TRIASSIC, the JURASSIC and the CRETACEOUS PERIODS. Dinosaurs evolved from land-dwelling reptiles called THECODONTS. Scientists have named approximately 700 -1,000 species of dinosaurs.

• SIZE DOES MATTER! –

LARGEST MEAT-EATING DINOSAUR: Spinosaurus which lived about 145 MYA;
SMALLEST DINOSAUR: Compsogathus longipes that was a chicken-sized dinosaur measuring only 3 feet and weighing in at just 8 lbs, liked lizard lunches, and lived about 145 MYA;
HEAVIEST DINOSAUR: Brachiosaurus weighed as much as 70 - 90 TONS, was as tall as a 4-story building, and lived about 150 MYA;
FASTEST DINOSAUR: Struthiomimus, stood 7 feet tall, was 10-13 feet long and could run at speeds of up to 31 mph;
LONGEST DINOSAUR: Seismosaurus, the “earthquake lizard” and largest of the sauropods, was a long-necked plant eater, reached lengths of ~98-130 feet (30-39 meters) and lived about 150 MYA.
DINOSAUR WITH THE MOST TEETH: Anatotitan, a duck-billed dinosaur, had about 1,000 tiny, leaf-shaped teeth arranged in rows of 200-250 on each side of its upper and lower jaws, all at the back of its mouth.
DINOSAURS ARE CLASSIFIED IN 2 GROUPS:
• ORNITHISCHIA or bird-hipped dinosaurs, had pelvic bones arranged like those of a bird hip, within the pubic bone that was bent backward. They were plant eaters with hoof-like claws.
• SAURISCHIA or lizard-hipped dinosaurs is the second group. Their pelvic bones were arranged like those of a lizard hip, with the pubic bone pointing forward. There were two (2) main subgroups:
• The THEROPODA were fast, agile hunters; they included Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor, Allosaurus and the ancestors of modern birds.
• The SAUROPODOMORPHA were plant eaters with massive bodies, long tails with front legs smaller than their backlegs. Brachiosaurus was a well-known example.

DINOSAURIA: The ruling reptiles are characterized by:
• The number of bones in the skull;
• A ball-like head of the thigh bone;
• Three (3) or more vertebrae fixed to the hip bones;
• Three (3) or fewer finger bones in the fourth finger;
• A hole rather than a socket in the hip for the leg bone;
• A strong joint between the foot bones and the bones of the hind leg;
• The presence of a flange on the upper arm bone that held powerful muscles.

DINOSAURS became extinct around 65 MYA during a mass extinction known as the CRETACEOUS-TERTIARY Mass Extinction Event or K/T BOUNDARY EVENT. It is widely believed that the event resulted from the collision of an asteroid with Earth, at a point on the northwest coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico called the Chicxulub crater (named for a local village). [ http://serpo.org/release30b.php ]
This crater—measuring 106-112 miles (170 kilometers) across—formed and shot billions of tons of matter into the atmosphere which blotted out the Sun and caused global temperatures to plummet thereby effectively ending the lengthy reign of the dinosaurs.
[ http://serpo.org/release30c.php / http://serpo.org/release30h.php ]
The evidence is based mainly on the fact that rocks laid down during this period over a large area contain more than the expected amount of IRIDIUM—an element comparatively rare on Earth, but characteristic of METEORITES and ASTEROIDS.
VICTIMS and SURVIVORS OF THE K/T BOUNDARY EVENT:
VICTIMS: [ REFERENCE: http://serpo.org/release30i.php ]

SURVIVORS of the K/T BOUNDARY:

STRANGE BUT TRUE:
People have produced some weird, fantastic and wonderful theories to explain WHY the dinosaurs disappeared. Some suggest they died from too many erupting volcanoes poisoning the atmosphere, died of boredom, “drowned” in their own droppings, committed suicide, or were even hunted by SPACE ALIENS! [ http://serpo.org/release30d.php ]
PALEONTOLOGY
PALEONTOLOGY is the science of prehistoric life, generally defined as
organisms that lived more than 10,000 years ago, prior to the end of the
most recent ice age. The science is based on the nature and distribution
of fossils, the remains or traces of organisms. In addition to
satisfying our curiosity about organisms that lived long ago,
paleontology provides evidence to support the concepts of evolution and continental drift. It also helps to support the theory that impacts of asteroids and comets have been instrumental in wiping out significant portions of Earth’s life at intervals in our planet’s history—the so-called mass extinctions.
PALEOLITHIC PERIOD: The cultural period of the Stone Age that began about 2.5 - 2 MYA is marked by the earliest use of tools made of chipped stone. The PALEOLITHIC PERIOD ended ~10,000 YA; it is also called “The OLD STONE AGE.”
The LOWER PALEOLITHIC DIVISION is by far the longest division of this period, lasting until ~200,000 YA and is characterized by hammerstones and simple core tools such as hand axes and cleavers.
The MIDDLE PALEOLITHIC DIVISION is generally dated to ~40,000 YA and is associated with archaic HOME SAPIENS, primarily the Neanderthals and their Mousterian tool culture.
The UPPER PALEOLITHIC DIVISION dates to ~10,000 YA in Europe and the Middle East and is associated with HOMO SAPIENS. Various distinctive local tool cultures flourished during this relatively brief period, producing a great variety of skillfully flaked tools as well as tools made of bone, antler wood and other material.
PALEOCLIMATOLOGY is the scientific study of climate conditions, along with their causes and effects, in the geologic past. These conditions are reconstructed on the basis of evidence found in the geologic record, especially in the form of glacial deposits, FOSSILS, SEDIMENTS, and rock and ice cores. Because much of the geologic record studied in paleoclimatology predates HUMANS, this research is very valuable for weighing the relative influence of human and natural causes on GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE.
PALEOECOLOGY is the branch of ECOLOGY that deals with the interaction between organisms and their environment.
PALEOMAGNETISM is the fixed orientation of a rock’s magnetic minerals as originally aligned at the time of the rock’s formation.
FOSSILS: The remains or imprint of an organism from a previous geologic time. More than 1 million species of FOSSIL organisms have been identified. These range from microscopic bacteria to giant dinosaurs and tree ferns. Evidence of truly ancient fossils—much of it controversial—suggests that Earth may have had simple bacteria-like life as long as 3.5 billion years ago.
FOSSIL TYPES: THE 4 BASIC TYPES
BODY FOSSILS are either actual remains of organisms or remains in which original chemicals have been replaced by other chemicals, typically silicon dioxide and other minerals from water seeping through the buried remains.
INDEX FOSSILS are the fossil remains of an organism that lived in a particular geologic age and is used to identify or date the rock or ROCK LAYER in which it is found.
MICROFOSSIL is a microscopic fossil as that of a pollen grain or unicellular organism. MICROPALEONTOLOGY is the branch of paleontology that deals with MICROFOSSILS.
TRACE FOSSILS are marks made by the activities of ancient organisms, such as footprints, burrows, leaf imprints, chemical traces and tooth marks on bones. They reveal much about anatomy as well as the habits and habitats of their creators.
DATING FOSSILS EMPLOYS 2 METHODS
RELATIVE DATING METHOD: Relative dating methods compare the ages of various fossils, indicating their relative ages, but NOT their actual ages. For example, STRATIGRAPHY is based on the fact that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, fossils in lower layers are older than those in upper layers.
ABSOLUTE DATING METHOD: Absolute dating methods provide SPECIFIC AGES for fossils. These methods are based on the fact that radioactive isotopes decay at a specific rate, called a half-life. Another technique, electron spin resonance dating, uses the changes that background radiation indirectly makes, at a predictable rate, in the magnetic field of crystalline minerals. It is used to date calcium carbonate in shells, teeth and coral.
THE TIMELINE OF ANCIENT MAN
HOMO HABILIS appeared 2.3 - 2.5 MYA in the Olduvai Gorge, East Africa. The earliest HOMO SAPIENS appeared POSSIBLY 260,000 years ago in Africa and then definitely 160,000 - 150,000 years ago. HOMO SAPIENS co-exist with HOMO ERECTUS in Asia and NEANDERTHALS in Europe and the Middle East.
HOMO HABILIS provided evidence of the deliberate USE OF FIRE 1.8 MYA - 500,000 YA.
HOMO NEANDERTHALENSIS [Neanderthal Man] appeared 350,000 - 250,000 YA, and emerged in ice-age Europe and western Asia for the next 220,000 years before dying off 24,000 YA.
HOMO SAPIENS population spread is halted possibly due to the catastrophic eruption of Toba, Sumatra ~71,000 years ago; global temperatures are lowered for a millennium. The immense volcanic eruption left a 1,000 sq mile Toba caldera behind. A giant depression formed after the collapse of the volcano’s cone. Today, it holds a large body of water with an island in the caldera which is a resurgent dome where magma is active in a chamber directly below the surface.

“NUCLEAR ADAM” was the most recent known common ancestor of today’s man having come into existence sometime between 90,000 - 60,000 years ago.
PANGEA: A large supercontinent that extended from pole to pole on ONE SIDE of the earth during the late PALEOZOIC and early MESOZOIC ERAS; it eventually split forming LAURASIA and GONDWANALAND. [ REFERENCE: http://serpo.org/release30j.php ]
SEDIMENTARY ROCK: Rock formed by the buildup of material at the bottoms of bodies of water.
METAMORPHIC: The name given to SEDIMENTARY ROCKS or minerals that have recrystallized under the influence of tremendous heat and great pressure since their original deposition.

MASS EXTINCTIONS IN EARTH’s DISTANT PAST ARE DUE TO SEA LEVEL CHANGES, STUDY SAYS, BUT WHAT CAUSED THOSE CHANGES IN SEA LEVEL? / SOME SCIENTISTS CLAIM THAT THE 6th MASS EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT IS ALREADY UNDERWAY DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING! –
By John Roach, National Geographic News, Tuesday, June 17, 2008
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/06/
080617-sea-change-extinctions.html

The rise and fall of the seas may have a more lethal toll on Earth’s life than ASTEROIDS and supervolcanoes, according to a new study. Over the past 540 million years, every increase in the rate of extinctions— including the five so-called mass extinctions—has been linked to environmental changes wrought by changing sea levels, the study says.
The research may be especially relevant today, as what some scientists are calling THE SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION MAY ALREADY BE UNDERWAY, perhaps due to global warming. Since the beginning of life on Earth 3.5 billion years ago, scientists estimate there have been as many as 23 MAJOR EXTINCTION EVENTS. During the past 540 million years, there have been 5 MAJOR MASS EXTINCTIONS, primarily of marine plants and animals. Each time, between 75 and 95 percent of ALL SPECIES VANISHED.
The idea that sea level changes are associated with these mass-extinction events has been around for almost 60 years, Peters noted, but until now scientists have been unable to quantify the environmental consequences of SEA LEVEL CHANGE. The seas rise and fall as the climate shifts and as the Earth’s tectonic plates move.
As a result, the marine animals in them sometimes disappear when their shallow-water environments vanish or are dramatically altered. He found that all five mass extinction events, and many of the smaller events in the fossil record, are associated with changes in sea level and sedimentation.
SHRINKING HABITAT
Wolfgang Kiessling, a paleontologist at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany, is an expert on mass-extinction events. While he doubts that changing sea levels alone drive mass die-offs, he said the study is important because it shows that habitat size is relevant to species diversity.
“The bigger habitat you have, the more species you can sustain—and when habitat shrinks, you get increased risk of extinction,” said Kiessling, who was not involved in the study. However, he added, changes in sea level alone are insufficient to explain the magnitude of mass-extinction events such as the one 65 million years ago, which wiped out the DINOSAURS. “There’s got to be more,” he said, “something like supervolcanoes [and/or] ASTEROID IMPACTS.”

WHAT CAUSES LARGE-SCALE ANIMAL DIE-OFFS? / ABOUT 90% OF ALL LIFE FORMS THAT HAVE EVER LIVED ON EARTH ARE NOW EXTINCT! / THE SPECIFIC CAUSES FOR SUCH EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENTS ARE MYSTERIES, BUT LARGE IMPACTING ASTEROIDS ARE PRIME SUSPECTS! –
National Geographic, Friday, June 20, 2008
More than 90 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct. As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 50 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of the eye.
DINOSAURS appeared after one of the biggest mass extinction events on Earth, the Permian-Triassic extinction about 250 million years ago. The most studied mass extinction, between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods about 65.5 million years ago, killed off the DINOSAURS and made room for mammals to rapidly diversify and evolve.
The CAUSES of these mass extinction events are UNSOLVED MYSTERIES, though volcanic eruptions and the impacts of LARGE ASTEROIDS or comets are PRIME SUSPECTS in many of the cases. Both would eject tons of debris into the atmosphere, darkening the skies for at least months on end. Starved of sunlight, plants and plant-eating creatures would quickly die. Space rocks and volcanoes could also unleash toxic and heat-trapping gases that—once the dust settled—enable runaway global warming.
An EXTRATERRESTRIAL IMPACT is most closely linked to the CRETACEOUS EXTINCTION EVENT. A huge crater off Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is dated to about 65.5 million years ago, coinciding with the extinction. Global warming fueled by volcanic eruptions at the Deccan Flats in India may also have aggravated the event. Whatever the cause, DINOSAURS, as well as about half of all species on the planet, went extinct.
Massive floods of lava erupting from the central Atlantic magmatic province about 200 million years ago may explain the Triassic-Jurassic extinction. About 20 percent of all marine families went extinct, as well as most mammal-like creatures, many large amphibians, and all non-dinosaur archosaurs.
LARGEST EVER DIE-OFF
The Permian-Triassic extinction event about 250 million years ago was the deadliest: More than 90 percent of all species perished. Many scientists believe an ASTEROID or COMET triggered the massive die-off, but, again, NO crater has been found. Another strong contender is flood volcanism from the Siberian Traps, a large igneous province in Russia. Impact-triggered volcanism is yet another possibility.
Starting about 360 million years ago, a drawn-out event eliminated about 70 percent of all marine species from Earth over a span of perhaps 20 million years. Pulses, each lasting 100,000 to 300,000 years, are noted within the larger date Devonian extinction. Insects, plants, and the first proto-amphibians were on land by then, though the extinctions dealt landlubbers a severe setback.
The Ordovician-Silurian extinction, about 440 million years ago, involved massive glaciations that locked up much of the world’s water as ice and caused sea levels to drop precipitously. The event took its hardest toll on marine organisms such as shelled brachiopods, eel-like conodonts, and the trilobites.
IS IT HAPPENING NOW?
Today, many scientists think the evidence indicates A SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION IS UNDERWAY. The blame for this one, perhaps the fastest in Earth’s history, falls firmly on the shoulders of humans. By the year 2100, human activities such as pollution, land clearing, and OVERfishing may have driven more than half of the world’s MARINE and LAND SPECIES TO EXTINCTION.

GLOBAL WARMING COULD WIPE OUT HALF OF ALL SPECIES WHERE THEY MEET A FATE SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE DINOSAURS... EXTINCTION! / “ICEHOUSE” CONDITIONS PROMOTE BIODIVERSITY WITH ALL LIFE FORMS WHILE “GREENHOUSE” CONDITIONS GIVE RISE TO INCREASED EXTINCTION RATES! –
By Alok Jha, The Guardian, Wednesday, October 24, 2007
Rising global temperatures caused by climate change could trigger a huge extinction of plants and animals, according to a study. Though humans would probably survive such an event, half of the world’s species could be wiped out.
Scientists at the University of York and the University of Leeds examined the relationship between climate and biodiversity over the past 520m years—almost the entire fossil record—and uncovered an association between the two for the first time. When the Earth’s temperatures are in a “greenhouse” climate phase, they found that extinctions rates were relatively high. Conversely, during cooler “icehouse” conditions, biodiversity increased.
Peter Mayhew, a population ecologist at the University of York and one of the authors of the research paper, said: “Our results provide the first clear evidence that global climate may explain substantial variation in the fossil record in a simple and consistent manner. If our results hold for current warming—the magnitude of which is comparable with the long-term fluctuations in Earth climate—they suggest that EXTINCTIONS WILL INCREASE.”
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global temperatures could increase by as much as 6C° by the end of the century. Dr Mayhew found that of the five mass extinction events in the Earth’s history, four were linked to greenhouse climates where the Earth was covered in heat-trapping carbon dioxide or methane gases.
This includes the EXTINCTION extinction of the DINOSAURS 65 MYA years ago, thought to have been caused by the impact of a large asteroid on the Yucatan peninsula and beneath the Gulf of Mexico.
The largest ever extinction occurred 251 MYA years ago, when 95% of animal and plant species were killed off. The most likely cause was floods of lava erupting from the central Atlantic region—an event that triggered the opening of the Atlantic ocean.
Dr Mayhew said extinction through global warming was expected to occur through mismatches between the climates to which organisms are adapted, and the future distributions of those climates.
MANKIND’s SECRETS KEPT IN LUNAR ARK IN CASE EARTH IS DEVASTATED BY AN
ERRANT ASTEROID, COMET or GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR! – By Maurice
Chittenden, The Sunday Times, Sunday, March 9, 2008
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article3511818.ece
If civilisation is wiped out on Earth, salvation may come from space. Plans are being drawn up for a “Doomsday Ark” on the moon containing the essentials of life and civilisation, to be activated in the event of earth being devastated by a giant ASTEROID or nuclear war. Construction of a lunar information bank, discussed at a conference in Strasbourg last month, would provide survivors on Earth with a remote-access toolkit to rebuild the human race.
A basic version of the ark would contain hard discs holding information such as DNA sequences and instructions for metal smelting or planting crops. It would be buried in a vault just under the lunar surface and transmitters would send the data to heavily protected receivers on earth. If no receivers survived, the ark would continue transmitting the information until new ones could be built. The vault could later be extended to include natural material including microbes, animal embryos and plant seeds and even cultural relics such as surplus items from museum stores.
As a first step to discovering whether living organisms could survive,
European Space Agency scientists are hoping to experiment with growing
tulips on the moon within the next decade. According to Bernard Foing,
chief scientist at the agency’s research department, the first flowers
• tulips or arabidopsis, a plant widely used in research—could be grown in 2012 or 2015. Tulips are ideal because they can be frozen, transported long distances and grown with little nourishment. Combined with algae, an enclosed artificial atmosphere and chemically enhanced lunar soil, they could form the basis of an ecosystem.

The first experiments would be carried out in transparent biospheres containing a mix of gases to mimic the earth’s atmosphere. Carbon dioxide given off by the decomposing plants would be mopped up by the algae, which would generate oxygen through photosynthesis. The databank would initially be run by robots and linked to earth by radio transmissions. Scientists hope to put a manned station on the moon before the end of the century.
The databank would need to be buried under rock to protect it from the extreme temperatures, radiation and vacuum on the moon. It would be run partly on solar power. The scientists envisage placing the first experimental databank on the moon no later than 2020 and it could have a lifespan of 30 years. The full archive would be launched by 2035. The information would be held in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish and would be linked by transmitter to 4,000 “Earth repositories” that would provide shelter, food, a water supply for survivors.

BOMBSHELL STUDY: HUMAN BEINGS ALMOST BECAME EXTINCT 71,000 YEARS AGO! /
NEW STUDY SAYS NEAR EXTINCTION THREATENED ALL HUMANITY FROM THE TOBA VOLCANO ERUPTION and THE ENSUING RAPID, DRAMATIC and CLIMATE CHANGES!
–
By Randolph E Schmidap, Science Writer, Breitbart.com, Thursday, April 24, 06:15 PM US/Eastern
WASHINGTON (AP) – Human beings may have had a brush with extinction 71,000 years ago, an extensive genetic study suggests. The human population at that time was reduced to small isolated groups in Africa, apparently because of drought, according to an analysis released Thursday. About 3,000 generations ago—a mere blink in the evolutionary timescale—the human population of Earth dwindled to the point where EVERYONE on the planet could have fitted inside a small football stadium.
Mounting DNA evidence indicates that the human population was reduced to perhaps fewer than 10,000 or perhaps 2,000. One study even suggests that the number of women dropped to just 500 individuals! For centuries, each new generation of Homo sapiens sapiens could easily have been the LAST.
The Genographic Project study and report was published in the American Journal of Human Genetics. Previous studies using mitochondrial DNA —which is passed down through mothers — have traced modern humans to a single “mitochondrial Eve,” who lived in Africa about 200,000 years ago. The migrations of humans out of Africa to populate the rest of the world appear to have begun about 60,000 years ago, but little has been known about humans between Eve and that dispersal.
The new study looks at the mitochondrial DNA of the Khoi and San people in South Africa which appear to have diverged from other people between 90,000 and 150,000 years ago. Humans separated into small populations prior to the Stone Age, when they came back together and began to increase in numbers and spread to other areas.
Spencer Wells, National Geographic Society explorer in residence, said in a statement: “Tiny bands of early humans, forced apart by harsh environmental conditions, coming back from the brink to reunite and populate the world. Truly an EPIC DRAMA, written in our DNA.”
WEATHERING THE STORM
Homo sapiens survive because there were three (3) tropical areas of high rainfall in the world, where the land was able to support larger numbers of people. ALL were in Africa, where there archaeological evidence for human expansion after the climate crisis.
Paleontologist Meave Leakey, a Genographic adviser, commented: “Who would have thought that as recently as 71,000 years ago, extremes of climate had reduced our population to such small numbers that we were on THE VERY EDGE OF EXTINCTION.” Today, we OWE our very existence to those few populations that—through luck or ingenuity—managed to survive the GEOLOGICAL DISASTER that killed the rest of our species.
GLOBAL CATASTROPHE
In fact, the reason for the collapse of our species was right under our feet. Deposits of ash and debris have provided evidence for one of the most SEVERE NATURAL DISASTERS in the history of life on Earth. It has been dated by paleoclimatologists and geoscientists to EXACTLY 71,000 years ago.
The CAUSE of this disaster was the ERUPTION of the TOBA VOLCANO on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The largest volcanic explosion of the previous 2 million years, and one of the biggest of the past 450 million years, its effects were felt right across the earth. The crater it left behind measured 60 miles across.

Release 30b - DINOSAURS Wiped Out ~65 Million Years Ago During The K-T Event...
Could it Happen AGAIN?!
(1 July 2008)
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000226.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Yucatan_chix_crater.jpg
EXPLANATION: What killed the DINOSAURS? Their sudden disappearance 65 million years ago, along with about 70 percent of all species then living on Earth, is known as the K-T BOUNDARY EVENT (Cretaceous-Tertiary Mass Extinction event). Geologists and paleontologists often entertain the idea that a large asteroid or comet impacting the Earth was the culprit.
In such a cosmic catastrophe, the impact would generate firestorms,
tidal waves, earthquakes, and hurricane winds. Debris thrown into the
atmosphere would have a serious global environmental consequences,
creating extended periods of darkness, low temperatures, and acid rains
• resulting in a planet-wide extinction event. In 1990, dramatic support for this theory came from cosmochemist Alan Hildebrand’s revelation of a 65-million-year-old, 6-12 miles wide, 112-mile-wide ring structure still detectable under layers of sediment in the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico. The outlines of the structure, called the CHICXULUB Crater (named for a local village), are visible in the BELOW three (3) representation(s) of gravity and magnetic field data from the region.

CRETACEOUS ASTEROID EXTINCTION SUMMARY: This color sketch represents a Late CRETACEOUS PERIOD asteroid—perhaps as much as 6 MILES wide—beginning to heat up as it first enters Earth’s atmosphere at an altitude of some 300,000 to 400,000 feet. Approaching the southern Caribbean from the southeast at a shallow, 30 degree angle to Earth’s surface, the asteroid is only a few seconds from direct impact in this illustration.

Release 30d - The LACERTA FILE: Could a SAURIAN Race Have Evolved From The DINOSAURS?!
(1 July 2008)
CRITICAL THINKING: The DINOSAURS were around for ~185.5 MILLION years and Mankind has been around for ~200-300,000 years and one can see what we’ve accomplished as a species in such a relatively SHORT period of time on Earth. Scientists have found that the intelligence of an animal is related to the ratio between the size of its brain and the size of its body. This ratio is called the ENCEPHALIZATION QUOTIENT. Based on THIS figure, the MOST INTELLIGENT dinosaur was the “TROODON”, a 10-foot-long hunter from the END of the CRETACEOUS Period.
QUESTION: During those ~185.5 MILLION years that DINOSAURS ruled in the MESOZOIC ERA, could a SAURIAN RACE have naturally evolved into a SENTIENT BEING (like Homo sapiens sapiens) and then emigrated from Earth when they detected an INcoming ASTEROID? Could the frequent reports of REPTILIAN ALIENS be our ANCESTORS coming back to “THEIR” homeworld as a matter of monitoring us or just plain curiosity?!
THIS perspective was actually presented on the “STAR TREK VOYAGER” TV series in season #3, episode #165 entitled “Distant Origins!”
SHOW SYNOPSIS: The SAURIANS [Genus Hadrosaur] vanished when a mass extinction occurred at the END of the CRETACEOUS PERIOD. Some of the SAURIANS escaped Earth on “city-ships” when a land mass they lived on was destroyed by the K/T BOUNDARY EVENT ~65.5 MYA. HADROSAURS (duckbilled dinosaurs) were the most common and varied plant-eating ornithopods, and the GREATEST SUCCESS STORY in the history of the DINOSAURS.
HOWEVER, many scientists believe that IF the dinosaurs had NOT become extinct, the “TROODON” dinosaur MIGHT have evolved to become as intelligent as MODERN HUMANS. They have named this “imaginary” creature a “DINOSAURID.”

Release 30h - What Earth Looked Like With FIRES Raging Everywhere After the K/T BOUNDARY EVENT!
(1 July 2008)

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001121.html
CRETACEOUS PERIOD-CENOZOIC ERA – Most of the Earth’s land has been scorched by fire at some time in the past, and sometimes in the very DISTANT PAST like the K/T BOUNDARY EVENT of ~65 MYA which caused the extinction of the DINOSAURS and ushered in the CENOZOIC ERA. Although causing many a tragedy—people and dinosaurs alike! -- fire is considered part of a NATURAL ecosystem cycle. Large forest fires on Earth are usually caused by lightning and can be visible from orbit EXCEPT in the case of the K/T BOUNDARY EVENT. Below, this fire swept through MONTANA’s Bitterfoot Valley and what the FIRES raging worldwide ~65 MYA may very well have looked like.

Release 30j - The Supercontinent PANGEA as it WAS and as it Might be AGAIN 250 MY From Now?!
(1 July 2008)
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070922.html
EXPLANATION: Is this what will become of the Earth’s surface? The surface of the Earth is broken up into several large plates that are slowly shifting. About 250-170 million years ago [MYA], the plates on which the present-day continents rest were positioned quite differently, so that ALL of the landmasses were clustered together in one supercontinent now dubbed PANGEA. About 250 million years from now, the plates are again projected to reposition themselves so that a SINGLE landmass dominates. The below simulation from the PALEAOMAP Project shows this giant landmass: PANGEA ULTIMA. At that time, the Atlantic Ocean will be just a distant memory, and whatever beings inhabit Earth will be able to walk from North America to Africa!

EXTINCTION FLASHPOINT: Just as the DINOSAURS met their EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT ~65.5 MYA, the GREATEST crisis to afflict the human race pushed Homo sapiens to the edge of EXTINCTION 71,000 YA as the TOBA ERUPTION spewed 670 cubic miles of volcanic material into the atmosphere making it the MOST VIOLENT ERUPTION of the last 2 million years. However, as the climate gradually improved, the human population exploded, growing exponentially as it once again spread across the world.
