Traveling over the gulf of Mexico at approx 11:30am.

My son recorded this and then woke me up as I was sleeping. I watched it over and over again and tried to determine it was not real and realized that it was possibly the real thing. My son, not even shocked, thinks aliens are normal and this was a regular thing and doesn’t realize how amazing this is. He talked over the video as it was a show and when he talked to me about it, and to everyone that has seen it, he just thinks its nothing spectacular – I have left it at that, as he does not need to get confused about these type of things.

View closely (Jet @ 0.23 sec) to see the jet that flies by, without any awareness or heads up, and you will notice the extreme unmeasurable speed. I have researched our plane to travel approx 500-550mph, the speed of sound to be about 768mph, and this jet – well I cannot give an educated estimate – but it looks to be the technology our planet has to offer.

There is also a second video I am uploading that shows them disappeared and then a light or opening to the far upper right. Could be them leaving at such a fast speed they am not be seen, or a warp zone or other.

Please comment with decency as I know there are many fakes, but there are many real ones and this is a very clear video that is honest and will make those skeptical or even slight believers believe.

I rate myself very low in knowledge on this topic, as well as Egyptian, Mayan, ancient civilization, conspiracies and secrets etc… And I know that I will never know what is really true ad what is actually happening but I do know that there is a higher power and many are following this and that more and more are seeing that there is so much we are not being told by those with a higher power in our own civilization, as they too may not really know the truth.

Who put us here?
Who put them there?
What came before them and how?
Universes / Multi universes
Time travel
String Theory
Why have we advanced so much in the last 50 yrs vs the thousands of years humans have been here
Ancient technology similar : different then ours

I did show the flight attendant and she was amazed but we did not make a scene as it would possibly create chaos on the flight. I am glad to show everyone and its a truly clear and amazing video that I am thankful to have had this experience.

The UFO is so close to the aircraft but seem to not be here to harm us – at least I hope so. Its quite scary as we are not on top, there is something / someone so much higher then even the top level of our society / civilization – I just hope its all peaceful and not what hollywood movies make it out to be.

I am very interested in all that and more and at times am so confused, and I am thankful that I could experience this at the closest I did. Most of my friends, family and colleagues are lesser interested in all this then me, but after seeing this – they too clicked over and believe so much more seeing where this evidence has come from and from such a close search.

Just thankful as I beg to know more!

A steadily growing number of Americans and Canadians are packing their bags, heading to other countries and settling permanently. According to Boomers Abroad, that number may double in the next 10 years. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is one of the top destinations for baby boomers. The affordable real estate, wonderful weather, inexpensive health care and an overall superior quality of life continue to attract thousands of people. Some even sample other places to live before making Puerto Vallarta their new home.

The call of the open sea was irresistible to a couple from Minnesota when they retired in 2004.

“We wanted to continue to travel and we have always liked boats,” says Mike Wise, “We had researched different kinds of boats that could theoretically circumnavigate the world and we didn’t know much about trawlers but my wife was talking to a fellow, who owned a trawler at a hotel in Turkey one night and we really got into it with him as far as where they could go and it was interesting. So we looked further into it and we found a boat that would be suitable for our purposes and we decided that that would be the next chapter of our life.”

“We got on our boat and we cruised from Dana Point, California to Alaska and as far north as Glacier Bay,” says Sara Wise, “And then we came south all the way along the Pacific coast past Mexico and Central America to the Panama Canal and up through the eastern Caribbean, along Mexico and Belize to Florida, and then back through the islands to Venezuela and South America, Columbia and then back to Panama.”

They thoroughly enjoyed that city and lived on their boat for around one year but encountered more than a few deterrents, which kept them from settling down.

“We thoroughly loved Panama,” says Sara, “It was a unique city, very vibrant, growing and we liked everything we saw and we tried to buy several homes and it just did not work out and the one thing that we noticed was the longest anybody was in Panama was three years, and then everybody decided to leave. There was nobody there that we knew that were there 10 or 12 years.”

Sara and Mike decided to go back to Alaska for the season, because they really enjoyed cruising there. But they made a fateful stop in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, first.

“We had no intention of staying here in Puerto Vallarta,” says Mike, “But we had our boat in the marina and got to looking around the town and exploring a little bit and liked it and decided that this might be a pretty neat place to live.”

Many have the same feelings about Puerto Vallarta and this is why it is the number one retirement destination abroad for Americans according to AARP magazine’s September/October 2010 edition.

They found Puerto Vallarta to be a comfortable place, it was on the water, which was important and they found that the real estate structure and industry is more up front and more recognizable to them than what they called the convoluted system in Panama. Sara goes on to say, “We love the weather, we love the people more than anything and it’s just a fun city, there’s a lot going on, it’s just neat.”

Puerto Vallarta also offers many comforts and conveniences familiar to expats.

“When we first got here, we were very impressed with all the things that Puerto Vallarta has to offer,” says Sara, “We had been cruising for a number of years and you become accustomed to hauling your things from a grocery store or buying your groceries from the back end of a truck and Puerto Vallarta has Sam’s and Wal-Mart and they were building a new Costco and Home Depot had just opened and to us, those things were very important.”

In the spirit of adventure and having lived land-locked in the midwest for years, Sara and Mike broke from retirement tradition, shocking their family. They offer advice and encouragement for those seeking something more.

“Oh we had done a lot of traveling and different things over the years but it was a surprise to them and they didn’t think we would actually do that,” says Mike, “It’s a pretty big step to sell the house and the company and make that kind of a break and do something that dramatically different than what we had done during our working lives. I think they honestly thought we were nuts.”

“My recommendation is to come down, rent a place, try it out and find out if you really do like it, and if you do like it, buy a place, and join the groups down here, there’s so many wonderful people to meet,” says Sara.

This couple is living out their golden years under the golden sun in Puerto Vallarta.

In addition to my 2 hours of language studies every day at the Guadalajara Language Centre, I did a number of excursions: I went to downtown Guadalajara and visited the impressive baroque church and the historic core of the city. My excursions in Tlaquepaque included a guided visit with a tourist policeman who took me up onto the bell tower of one of Tlaquepaques churches. I also got to see some samples of the artwork and handicrafts that are produced in Tlaquepaque, which is renowned for its galleries and arts stores. I visited the neighbouring arts & crafts market of Tonala, a huge outdoor market with hundreds of interesting vendors.

Longer excursions took me to Lake Chapala, a popular retirement destinations for Americans and Canadians trying to escape our cold winters. My local guide Jose Orozco took me to Mexcala Island, a prison island with buildings from the early 1800s, the pretty town of Chapala and the popular retirement town of Ajijic where so many gringos have settled down permanently. We also went on a tour to the magic village of Tequila which is host to numerous distilleries that make this Mexican national drink from the heart of the agave plant. I also went on a second tour to Lake Chapala to meet Greg Clarke, a Canadian retiree who told me about his cherished new lifestyle in Mexico.

In addition to Guadalajara I also went on two wonderful weekend excursions to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: to the historic silver mining town of Guanajuato, and the beautiful city of Morelia and nearby Lake Patzcuaro.

DOD (:-X
dias_de_los_Muertos/2009 (:-X celebrates the deads journey back to the world of the living. By providing an annual time and physical space for the dead to emerge from our collective memory, the festive holiday asks us to consider the universal and ephemeral nature of our own destinies. Conceived as a digital altar, dias_de_los_Muertos/2009 (:-X encourages participants to commemorate aspects of an honored ones life and take ownership of the deads journey as their own.

Designed as a multimedia social networking project comprised of prints, text, video, paintings, photography— much of which will be produced as user generated content— the project is meant to be a living exploration of the Days of the Dead holiday. By traveling to different sites from San Francisco to San Diego, Mexico City and Oaxaca, we will generate materials that will help expand our understanding of the history, art, altars, customs, and crafts that are intrinsic to the observance of Days of the Dead. Interviews with diverse people, including artists, artisans and vendors, visual documentation of festivity preparations, as well as our own posts and blogs, will all provide online visitors with first-hand information about the celebration and its many cultural bi-products.

dias_de_los_Muertos/2009 (:-X aims to contribute a new vein to the collection of day of the dead folk and fine art production—using interactivity to carve out a public space for contemporary audiences to adopt and translate new and old day of the dead traditions.

Offering access to the gorgeous beach towns of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and the scenic island of Cozumel, the Riviera Maya (also known as the Caribbean Riviera) is famous for its majestic, white-sand beaches, sunny weather, warm winters and exotic, well-preserved Mayan ruins.

The eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula lies within the historic state of Quintana Roo, which is graced with 120 miles of excellent coastline populated with beachfront hotels, beautiful beaches, wonderful food and an inviting climate, at least when it is not hurricane season (see our note on the right).

NASA engineer Jose Hernandez wanted to fly in space ever since he heard that the first Hispanic-American had been chosen to travel into space.

“I was hoeing a row of sugar beets in a field near Stockton, Calif., and I heard on my transistor radio that Franklin Chang-Diaz had been selected for the Astronaut Corps,” says Hernandez, who was a senior in high school at the time.

“I was already interested in science and engineering,” Hernandez remembers, “but that was the moment I said, ‘I want to fly in space.’ And that’s something I’ve been striving for each day since then.”

And now that hard work is paying off. He has been selected to begin training as a mission specialist as part of the 2004 astronaut candidate class.

One of four children in a migrant farming family from Mexico, Hernandez — who didn’t learn English until he was 12 years old — spent much of his childhood on what he calls “the California circuit,” traveling with his family from Mexico to southern California each March, then working northward to the Stockton area by November, picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route. Then they would return to Mexico for Christmas, and start the cycle all over again come spring.

“Some kids might think it would be fun to travel like that,” Hernandez laughs, “but we had to work. It wasn’t a vacation.”

After graduating high school in Stockton, Hernandez enrolled at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, where he earned a degree in electrical engineering and was awarded a full scholarship to the graduate program at the University of California in Santa Barbara, where he continued his engineering studies. In 1987 he accepted a full-time job with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he had worked as a co-op in college.

While at Lawrence Livermore, Hernandez worked on signal and image processing applications in radar imaging, computed tomography, and acoustic imaging. Later in his career, Hernandez worked on developing quantitative x-ray film imaging analysis techniques for the x-ray laser program. Hernandez applied these techniques in the medical physics arena and co-developed the first full-field digital mammography imaging system. This system has proven useful for detecting breast cancer at an earlier stage than present film/screen mammography techniques. Hernandez has won recognition awards for his work on this project. He has also worked in the international arena where he represented Lawrence Livermore and the U.S. Department of Energy on Russian nuclear non-proliferation issues.

During the astronaut application process, Hernandez had to meet with a review board. That’s where he came face-to-face with his original inspiration: Franklin Chang-Diaz.

“It was a strange place to find myself, being evaluated by the person who gave me the motivation to get there in the first place,” Hernandez says. “But I found that we actually had common experiences — a similar upbringing, the same language issues. That built up my confidence. Any barriers that existed, he had already hurdled them.”

Hernandez smiles. “Now it’s my turn!”
