Believing in extraterrestrial UFO's and trying to discover the truth about the phenomena does not always automatically disqualify a person from being a government employee. Wilbert Brockhouse Smith (1910-1962) was an electrical and radio engineer who served most of his life with the Canadian Department of Transport (CDOT) in a number of high level supervisory positions.
Having attained his credentials from the University of British Columbia, he acquired a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering in 1933 and followed that up with a Master of Arts Science degree in 1934. He proceeded to work for several commercial Canadian radio stations and co-founded the Canadian Association of Broadcast Consultants before being hired by the CDOT in 1939. By the year 1947 as a Chief Engineer for the CDOT, Smith had established stations across Canada to measure the ionosphere and its effects on communication technologies.
By the late 1940's Smith had also developed an interest in the phenomena of unidentified aerial objects. Further fueled by such literature as Maj. Donald Keyhoe's "Flying Saucers Are Real" and Frank Scully's "Behind the Flying Saucers" he arranged a meeting in 1950 with the United States Defense Department physicist Robert Sarbacher who confirmed his suspicions as to the reality of these unknown craft but also that the US government had branded with subject with higher security classification than even what was applied to the Hydrogen Bomb.
Smith immediately lobbied the Canadian Defense Research Board (DRB) and the CDOT for permission to investigate these phenomena for Canada. His conclusions were that "Such vehicles of necessity must use a technology considerably in advance of what we have. It is therefore submitted that the next step in this investigation should be a substantial effort towards the acquisition of as much as possible of this technology, which would no doubt be of great value to us." The result of his effort was the founding of Project Magnet in December of 1950.
Run under the auspices of the CDOT with assistance from the DRB Project Magnet set out with a duel mission, 1. Collection and analysis of high quality data to draw conclusions about UFOs; and 2. Application of any data recovered to practical engineering and technology. Project Magnet ultimately set up what is considered the world's first flying saucer sighting station.
Among the technology used was a gamma ray detector, a gravimeter, several radio receivers, and a magnetometer. These were set up to display their findings on a graph paper device for ease in identifying the readings of known aircraft and aerial equipment as well as an alert system for anomalous readings. While the CDOT provided the equipment, the small watch crew worked on their own time. This crew included such notables as physicist James Wait and telecommunications expert John H. Thompson of the DRB along with University of Toronto professor J.T. Wilson and Dominion Observatory scientist, G.D. Garland.
As well as measuring the readings of normal aircraft, various experiments were conducted to determine if known devices could give unexplainable readings. A weather balloon was released, complete with magnesium flare for visual brightness. It failed the test, as it were; it registered as a weather balloon. Within three years Project Magnet had accumulated a vast body of data to compare anomalous readings with.
Probably the greatest mysterious reading the station recorded occurred at 3:01 p.m. of August the 8th in 1954. "Substantial" gravimetric readings flew off the chart. The day was regrettably heavily overcast so the watch crew could not see what was causing the severe fluctuations above the clouds. They immediately publicized their finding only to realize that the CDOT had become embarrassed by the publicity for having conducted UFO research for three and a half years. Two days after the event Project Magnet was officially closed. Mr. Smith was still allowed to carry on in an "unofficial" capacity on his own time when the equipment was not being used for "other" purposes.
Despite the Department of Transport's embarrassment, Mr. Smith was not fired from his job or debunked as a "crazy.". He was still the Superintendent of Radio Regulations Engineering for the CDOT until his death in December of 1962.








Many of these standard features can be easily noted when the plane is flying low, especially when nearing a runway. If you want to look for UFO's at night, a good pair of binoculars will help prevent many mistakes. The red and green wingtip flashing lights are standard on most aircraft. There are also white and red strobe lights on both the top and bottom of the craft that are supposed to stay on from engine start to chocking after it lands. These are, however, sometimes turned off in cloudy conditions as the reflection and glare off clouds can be a distraction for the pilots.



The star wars alien races are diverse and varied, but they all have one thing in common. They present a clear and significant danger to the likes of humanity. We have no power to defend against the mind powers of the telepathic aliens and the Sand people or the Hut are formidable traders, scavengers and power mongers.
An entertainment series on science fiction in America that saw tremendous success was the Star Trek Alien Races series. The original series was made for television and Gene Roddenberry created it to be telecasted in the year 1966.
Mayans and aliens have been the fascination of many people for hundreds of years. The stepped stone pyramids littering Mesoamerica and the South Pacific have been suggested by some as being built by the mayans and aliens together for use as star ports. Others believe that the mayans and aliens worked through telepathy to erect the massive stone monuments.
NASAs Apollo space mission were for the exploration of the moon. In 1969 Apollo 11 manned by Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, was the first one that allowed a moon walk. These two men were the very first astronauts to ever set foot on the surface of the Moon. In 1972 NASA launched their final Apollo mission; Apollo 17. There were altogether 20 missions scheduled for the Apollo mission. Apollo 18, Apollo 19 and Apollo 20 were coordinated, but were scrapped due to budgeting limitations.
The beginning of the story about Aliens and their love affair with the bovine inhabitants of Earth dates back to April 1897. The Yates Center Farmer’s Advocate in Kansas told of a local rancher, Alexander Hamilton, his hired man and his son all witnessing a giant UFO that was cigar-shaped and hovering just over the corral near their house.
The Alien Quadrilogy, 4 films that were made over a span of 18 years, horrified and delighted millions of movie-goers. In the lore of the films, the Aliens are life-forms with a defined system of hierarchy and are ruled by a queen. The life-cycle of an Alien is comprised of several different stages: the Egg, the Facehugger, the Chestburster and the adult Alien. One interesting thing about the Alien is that it will take on some of the hosts attributes such as quadrupedalism or the possession of mandibles.
