Two AATIP related conferences in March 2019


Scientific Coalition for UFOlogy

The Scientific Coalition for UFOlogy will hold a conference on the subject of Anomalous Aerospace Phenomena, between 15-17 March 2019, in Huntsville, Alabama, in the USA.

The SCU's website states that the "SCU is an organization composed of affiliate members from science, engineering, astronomy, psychology, chemistry, military and other disciplines with many holding PhDs, BS, BA degrees.

"SCU seeks to hold this conference in the hopes of bringing together other serious minded attendees from Redstone Arsenal, NASA, military defense contractors and academia in order to have serious dialogue about the subject and how science can progress in studying the phenomena."

Speakers

The keynote speaker is Luis Elizondo, former program manager for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP.)

Other speakers are:

Dr Travis Taylor, Department of Defense: "A scientific approach to analyzing and preparing for an alien invasion."

Mr Philippe Ailleris, Project Controller, European Space Agency. "Detection and characterization of anomalous aerial objects using satellite data imagery."

Mr Robert Powell, SCU: "2004 USS Nimitz case report."

Mr Peter Reali, SCU: "2004 USS Nimitz case physics."

Mr Richard Hoffman, SCU: "2013 Aguadilla Puerto Rico case technical review."

S A Little, SCU: "Unidentified submersible object (USO) reports, creating a database for cluster analysis."

Additional panel members include: Dr C Powell, Senior Engineer/scientist at Davidson Technologies, Inc.


This conference will be held between 24-30 March 2019 in Laughlin, Nevada, and is being organised by a group including Robert Brown, Lorien Fenton and Gordon Pekrul.

There are currently 42 "speakers & guests" listed on the website, including UAP researchers; experiencers; military witnesses and others.

On the topic of military encounters/AATIP related speakers and guests, these include:

Gary P Voorhis who was a fire control-man and Aegis technician aboard the USS Princeton in November 2004, who will be interviewed as part of a panel of military witnesses.

Kevin Day, radar operator on the USS Princeton in November 2004 during the Nimitz encounters. Day will present a talk titled "The Nimitz Tic Tac encounter revealed -the incredible behind the scenes story."

Daniel Sheehan will speak on "To the Stars Academy quandary" Should the UFO community support a national security state-staff who seek to convince the world that UFOs are "real" but constitute " a threat to the national security of our country" in exchange for these government experts finally "giving credence" to "the reality of UFOs."

Patrick "JP" Hughes was a second class Petty Officer attached to the VAW-117 squadron onboard the USS Nimitz in November 2004. Hughes will be interviewed as part of the panel of military witnesses.

Robert Kiviat

Now, regular blog readers will be familiar with Voorhis; Day; Sheehan and Hughes. However, there is an additional speaker of interest, Robert Kiviat.

According to the UFO MegaCon website, Kiviat worked with the FOX network to "establish its alternative TV department" which produced a range of paranormal and UFO documentaries.

Of interest to me, is the following UFO MegaCon website writeup about his recent research:

"Currently, Robert is developing an unprecedented TV docu-series that expands on a December 17, 2017 New York Times "Front Page" investigation which ushered in a new UFO era by reporting that the Pentagon firmly believes UFOs recently filmed by military cameras might be alien spacecraft posting a real and present global danger.

'Presentation
New "official" era of UFOs exposed: An "Embedded" TV journalist on the Trail of Truth.

Network TV investigative producer Robert Kiviat, best known for creating widely-watched Prime Time documentary TV specials concerning UFOs, ETs and other unexplained phenomena, reveals shocking discoveries he made while working under contract for a CIA supported operation tied to the December 2017 New York Times Pentagon UFO disclosure story that essentially confirmed UFOs are real and could be a global threat.

Kiviat, who was recruited in 2018 by a company backed by a top CIA scientist to create entertainment products aimed at extolling the virtues of anti-gravity development and UFO research, explains how he was  soon manipulated to refocus his efforts on competing with the To The Stars Academy (TTSA) for Hollywood projects, with the gaol of making people believe UFOs (or UAPs) are related to interdimensional "portals" and human consciousness rather than beings from distant planets.

Via a riveting, play-by-play account, Kiviat takes the audience through his harrowing 18 month odyssey filled with intrigue, deceit, obfuscation and incredibly, the eventual realization that rival factions within the US Defense Department and U S Intelligence agencies are battling each other for dominance to the public what UFOs represent.

Are they harbingers of doom, the Apocalypse or heaven on Earth? Maybe something in between? Find out for yourself, as Kiviat unveils stunning new video evidence of mysterious activity, occurring at locations around the world, provided by official sources and independent "experiencers.""

Comment

I read this, in short, as Kiviat saying that in 2018 he was recruited by a company, backed by a top CIA scientist, to create entertainment products about anti-gravity and UFOs. He did this in competition with the TTSA, in support of interdimensional portals and consciousness as the source of UFOs. What to make of the above, ahead of his actual presentation?

In a blog post dated 2 January 2019 I reported on the interests and research of one Joseph P Firmage, and his International Academy of Science and Arts (IASA.)

I located a January 2018 IASA media release speaking of the launch of its Studios Division. The Division was reportedly making a "Prime Time"TV docu-drama series about X-files type events. In addition, IASA's research was said to have the "backing of a top U.S. Intelligence agency..."

I wondered, if the company which recruited Kiviat, was none other than Joe Firmage's IASA?

Jimmy Church interview

My attention was drawn to a reference to an interview between Jimmy Church and Robert Kiviat, on episode 953 of "Fade to Black" dated 19 November 2018.

During this interview, Kiviat said that the mainstream media had picked up on the December 17 2017 New York Times article, and that was a good thing. But the thought that the article failed to follow up on such things as:

* If money went to Bigelow, why the lack of interest by the NYT in the Skinwalker Ranch?

* The NYT did not look into the background of Hal Puthoff, and Puthoff's connections with the CIA.

* If $22M was spent, what other moneys are there out there?

* What about private industry and black budget money?

His research led him to the same old names - Hal Puthoff; Kit Green; Ron Pandolfi and Joe Firmage.

Speaking of the TTSA, Kiviat said that he didn't understand the focus on TTSA; when they were just an entertainment company. Why are they holding back information?

Kiviat went on to say that at the same time as the TTSA launch (17 October 2017-KB) he wanted to find a company involved in ant-gravitic research. He found one. He found they had no funding, but they were led by a very good visionary. Looking around for a possible helper for that company. He came across Joe Firmage. "I contacted Joe" and asked him what is your company about? Firmage said anti-gravity device. I have good support from an intelligence agency, support from them for 20 years.

Joe said to Kiviat; I'd love you to join the company and help us with communications and help us build an entertainment studio that will dole out content, movies, TV about anti-gravitic physics; might lead to other forms of propulsion and energy. Kiviat stated "I bought into that" and signed a contract with Joe Firmage.

Kiviat then said that he couldn't talk about his relationship with Joe Firmage over the past year. The company is having financial difficulties. I am trying to find out if there is support for Joe's device. I think Joe will step up eventually.

Kiviat said that he had contacted TTSA but that TTSA never got back to him, and they did a deal with another TV network.

In summary

Here then, you have quite a bit of detail as to what Kiviat's MegaCon's talk will be about.

Joseph P Firmage - the International Academy of Science and Arts - and beyond

Introduction

Years before there was the To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science there was another Academy with a similar name and some common aims. This blog post will explore this other Academy and the individual behind it, Joseph P Firmage. 

Background

Way back in May 2011, my co-blogger Pauline Wilson, wrote a piece about Joe Firmage. In summary it read:

Joseph Firmage was born in 1970 in the USA, and became an Internet entrepreneur at an early age. He and others, formed a company called US Web in 1997. However, in 1999, Firmage left the US$2 billion company, after widely expressing his views on the UFO phenomenon. He then began a very public campaign to attract readers to an online book, he called "The Truth."

In this book, he talked about alien visitations; intergalactic travel, and a host of unconventional theories about science and economics. Firmage stated that the inspiration for the book came from his own "encounter", "authentic" Majestic 12 documents, and the 1947 Roswell crash.

Source:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-firmage-67447b68
Firmage provided details of his own "encounter." He related that one morning he woke in his room to find a human-like figure present. They conversed about space travel. One source of the story, related how an electric blue sphere came out of the figure and entered Firmage.

He went on to establish the "International Space Sciences Organisation" "dedicated to raising awareness of future technological breakthroughs, consciousness, and future civilizations."

Amazon

A look at the Amazon Books website, reveals a numbers of books by Firmage, they include:

"The Truth." 22 February 1997.

"I am." 1 December 2001. Publisher: Universecity Press, but marked "Not yet released."

"Revolution in  Physics." 7 December 2011. Publisher: XLibris US. 142pp.

"Evolving economics." 15 December 2011. Publisher: XLibris US. 102pp.

"Life Time Tree." 9 September 2012. Publisher: Academy of Science and Arts. 536pp.

LinkedIn

His LinkedIn profile, provides his career background and companies that he has been associated with. These are listed as:

Motion Physics CEO
January 2000 to the present.
Greater Salt Lake City area.
Leading team of researchers in advanced physics with a focus on propulsion, energy and material sciences. Operations have also been conducted under distinct related entities California Institute for Physics and Astrophysics, International Space Sciences Organization and Motion Sciences.

ManyOne CEO
October 2001 to the present
Create the world's first "real" Internet economic operating system.

International Academy of Science and Arts CEO
January 2010 to the present
Phoenix, Arizona
Advanced Physics research...Television and cinematography production.

International Academy of Science and Arts (IASA)

A visit to the website of the International Academy of Science and Arts reveals five areas of interest:

1. Motion Physics.
2. ManyOne.
3. Sustainable Ecology Institute.
4. Science Modeling Institute.
5. Internext Technology Institute.

The IASA mission is stated as:

"to help catalyze four areas of 21st century scientific discovery and social evolution: (1) new economic models ...(2) breakthrough core research and development for clean energy and propulsion technologies...(3) deployment of cutting edge general media productions...(4) collaboration on the launch of a professional consulting company firm that is similar to  history-making US Web..."

Motion Physics

What interested me, naturally, was the reference to "breakthrough core research and development ...propulsion technologies..."

I therefore looked through the website looking for references to "propulsion technologies." I found that the Motion Physics area had documents from between 2011 and 2015.

Here, I found a list of many papers dedicated to the topics of electromagnetic field propulsion; propellant-less propulsion, and gravity control. The authors included Dr Hal Puthoff.

Nowhere on the website did I come across a reference to "UFOs;" "UAP" or similar terminology.

2018

Firmage's LinkedIn profile page contained a number of press releases which update his story, including:

11 January 2018 InterNASA [International Academy of Science and Arts -KB] launches its Studies Division.

" On the "Prime Time" TV front, eye opening "event" specials and a riveting docu-drama series based on 40 plus years of intriguing historical events involving underlying institutions resulting in InterNASA's formation - which fans of the X-Files will surely embrace - are slated for production and release this year."

"InterNASA'sground breaking physics research and testing of exotic propulsion and highly advanced science and technology has the keen interest and backing of a top U.S. Intelligence Agency, affirmed by a recent letter from a senior government Intelligence official stating "Joe Firmage has held a long and good standing history of service to the U.S. Government and its agencies, the recognition of which is well understood, held in high regard, and we look forward to continuing that relationship."

Late 2018

A new Firmage website was launched, called manyonecentral A look at the new website reveals many of the same components as have been mentioned above. There is a link to the existing International Academy of Science and Arts,  website, and a timeline of Manyone. Again, I failed to find any mention of the words "UFOs:" "UAP" or simialr terms.

So

So, twenty years ago an individual named Joseph P Firmage, had an "encounter;" wrote a book titled "The Truth" and marketed it and its concepts very widely. Over the next ten years he set up a series of organizations like the "California Institute for Physics and Astrophysics;" "International Space sciences Organization;" "International Academy of Science and Arts;" etc etc. and published a series of books.  Then in 2018 re-emerges to continue talking about revolutions in physics, and economics, via a revamped ManyOne website.

Joe Firmage's International Academy of Science and Arts seemed a fore runner for Tom Delonge's To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science. Both have an entertainment thrust, and an interest in exotic propulsion technologies. Whereas, TTSA is open about its interest in UFOs; IASA it seems, is now silent about that topic.
