I can see where this thread is going already.

The 'electronic' signal of your soul radiates to the farthest reaches of the universe. Some alien somewhere knows (1) who you are (2) where you are (3) what you are supposed to be doing (4) what you are really doing). That alien is there hammer you in the 'right' direction. Of course, some call the alien GOD. But that alien would smile because he also has some friggin' master sergeant to report to.

Thanks for your speculation Darkmind and other than the size of Mars, thats all it is: speculation. And that speculation is based on information from NASA or is otherwise government influenced.
My speculation is based on insider information.
Who are you going to believe, a government entity or an insider?
Until you Darkmind, or I, stand in the middle of Tithonia or Cydonia, our personal speculation is just that.

John, your view on this is very interesting. I think it would be wise for everyone to be openminded about different possibilites regarding the true nature of this reality.
I would like to draw your attention to an alternate (although completely cmpatible with your view) hypothesis regarding this reality which has quite a bit of academic exploration behind it. That hypothesis is essentially that we may be living in a simulation (ala The Matrix). The essential philisophical argument is simple: If it can be true that a civilization can acquire computer technology at a level of performance that is capable of simulating reality (and all that is truly neccessary is a subjective simulation for an individual or sets of individuals [e.g. it is not neccessary to have a complete perfect-physics simulation]), then it can be argued that the shear number of such simulations which would be run would skew the odds of existing in a non-simulated reality to approximately zero. In other words, for each true reality, there would come to exist so many simulated realities that the odds of finding yourself in the true reality are approximately zero.
Given such a scenario, then, it could be argued that over a long enough period of time, inhabitants of the true reality would eventually migrate their existance into a virtual reality where physical bodies are no longer required and time is endless. The essence of each individual would be what we call soul or spirit. In such an infinite environment, individuals would do unbelievable things such as creating entire universes as playgrounds just to pass the time or creating worlds (simulations) to give birth to new souls and whatnot. Such an existance might be called Heaven or the Omega Point and worlds such as Earth could very well exist for the nurturing and birthing of new souls to fill Heaven.
But the salient point of such a reality explanation is that it would be trivial for those outside of any particular simulation to enter and interact within said simulation. So, for example, the caretakers of Earth (if we assume earth is such a place) could enter and exit at will, could take any form they wish, would have full knowledge of all events (including private thoughts of individuals within the simulation) and would be as gods. It would be completely at such entities whims how they manifest themselves, whether as normal people, angels or aliens. Depends on what they want to do.
Of particular relevance to your post is this: The caretakers may very well want to stear individual souls through a pre-determined path and could theoretically apply pressure to urge individuals to "go with the program". To any effected individual this may seem bizarre - events that are unexplainable - as if the NSA is working you or reality or your own sanity is failing you.
As a last note, in such a simulation, there could be many reasons for dropping in and throwing the blindfolds on. From spiritual growth all the way to entertainment. The sky is the limit for why you may be here.

Thank you for a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon read. The topic's interesting, but the glimpse into your life has been truly fascinating - some rich history, remarkable achievements and oddball characters. I was a little saddened to read that you don't fly anymore and i sense a far more interesting but personal story there.
I'm betting it would be quite a memorable experience to share some stories and a case of beer with you.
Mr Lear, do you have anything to say about the sophistication of the aliens' ability to fake photographic imagery or digital telemetry? How did they make the pictures of venus look so real?
Also, how does NASA effect its coverup internally?
Is there a "Shadow NASA" working astride the public NASA?
If a hundred laptops from NASA were lost/stolen, what are the chances of REAL venusian imagery being on one of them, for example?

Thanks for the comments smallpeeps. I think you may be confusing as to who is faking what. When you say "How did they make Venus look so real?" I assume you haven't been to Venus so why do you think it is so real?
Probably, just like the Shadow US Government working astride those guys we elected.
Well I saw this picture on wikipedia under "Venus" and I'm not sure if it's a camera from some probe or an artists rendering or maybe color-faked imagery?
Is this the sort of photographic fakery you were talking about?
make Venus look molten?
And this is designed to make us put Venus out of our minds?
I'm not sure why this would be so secret.
I think disclosure of this truth could be accepted by humans, don't you?

Me and a friend of mine were discussing aliens a couple weeks back and he said he heard a theory that what if there really were aliens on Mars but they had some sort of "shield" over the planet so we would see nothing except craters and mountains and what if what we saw on TV about the different rovers was actually not real but the aliens manipulating our television waves...I don't know sounds like an interesting idea what do you all think?

I invite Mr. Lear to start his own thread wherein various gullible like minded souls can speculate on whatever improbable or impossible scenarios they like.
This thread is not about John Lear. Stop trying to hijack it.
Wait. Let me start a thread about John Lear. This should be fun.

John, do you have any info or inside knowledge on the veracity of the Mountauk Project with Preston Nichols, Duncan Cameron, and Al Bielek? Any info on the Alien Interview footage?
