| The Jan Wolski Encounter - Eastern Poland - May 10, 1978 Posted: 17 Dec 2010 12:00 PM PST  Wolski drove on while the strangers exchanged some words in an unknown language. Shortly, as the cart approached a clearing in the forest, a strange, almost "transparent white" object could be seen, hanging in the air about 70 meters away, emitting a faint humming sound. Wolski described the object similar to a short bus, but with a roof like a barn, it was about 5 meters in length, three meters in width, and about 2.5 meters in height. It shone, as if nickel-plated. No windows were seen. At its four corners, and half-way up it had on the outside, barrels with black vertical rods running through them and carrying what looked like spirals rather reminiscent of corkscrews. These black rods were rotating very fast. The "corkscrews" emitted a range of colors, and the barrels seemed to have been the source of the humming. When closer to the object, Wolski said the sound was like that of bumblebees in flight. The craft's surface was smooth, stainless, and seamless. At a height of some 50 cm from the ground was suspended a lift held by four thin cables attached above the entrance to the craft, which had descended as the trio approached. Stepping on to the platform one of the entities invited Wolski aboard, gesturing to him that he should grasp the cables. After rising rapidly the lift stopped in front of an opening and Wolski was motioned inside. Inside, Wolski stepped into a chamber with walls that were almost black and saw two more beings identical with the first two.  Their heads were relatively large, with faces of an olive green or greenish brown hue, having high cheekbones that gave them an Asiatic appearance. The eyes, almond shaped, very long, were dark, and appeared to lack any whites. In the place of the nose, there was only a slight protuberance with two small vertical openings. The mouth was straight and thin. Their teeth were white. No hair was visible on the face.  ---------- TRANSCRIPT OF AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. JAN WOLSKI by Henryk Pomorski & Krystyna Adamczyk HP: ... Opole Lubelskie Commune. We talk to Mr. Jan Wolski, age... JW: 71 [seventy one] HP: Who has for us lots of interesting things to say… You met some extraterrestrial people. Can you say us how did it happen? JW: I cannot directly state for sure that they were extraterrestrials because they were similar to us thought tiny, delicate, of small height - about 150 cm. [5 f.] HP: How did it happened that you met them? JW: Well… I was driving from Komaszyce, from that side. In fact I was returning from Dabrowa village but the encounter with them occurred on this side of Komaszyce, on a field belonging to me. HP: When did you see them for the first time? JW: I noticed them as two people heading toward my cart... Those people [the beings] hadn't noticed me before. When they saw me they began looking at me and then they gradually began slowing down their walk more and more. When I drove closer to them, they divided on both sides (one went in one direction and the second one on the opposite one) and I drove in between them while they in the meantime jumped onto the moving cart. HP: They sat next to you, didn't they? JW: Yes… However, not directly next to me but behind me (the second one also) while I was sitting in the center. Their legs were hanging down. [Mr. Wolski neither didn't scorn them nor escaped since similar mode of traveling was some kind of tradition and it would be a discourtesy to drive them off and. Moreover, he didn't know then who they were in fact.] HP: Can you describe their outer appearance? JW: They looked in this way: black outfits covering their foreheads and from here to here and o chin, and here they were green. HP: What about their faces? JW: They had green faces and palms as well, from here. It was in this way. HP: In which language they spoke? Did they say anything to you? JW: They spoke in some language (huh) but I'm amazed that they could understand each other since they spoke like that "…a petete petete te…". Their words were short and fast and I don't know how they can understand one another. [The beings were communicating with Mr. Wolski by gestures, both while they were with him on the ground and onboard their aerial craft. It is contrary to many reports about UFO passengers reports where witnesses said about some type of mental communication.] HP: What about the further journey? What happened next? JW: They were driving ahead for some time and then ordered me to stop – they didn't spoke in words but expressed it with hands to stop. So I understood it and began urging the horse to stop but he [one of the beings] caught the reins and pulled back urging the horse to stop (It was afraid of the craft.). And when it stopped they got off the cart – in the same way as they previously got on and they gave me a sign with hands to go with them. I tied my horse, then got off and went after them toward that machine. There was a tiny elevator of some kind for two people to hold – maybe it couldn't carry two large people but surely could delicate ones… And then he went forth and set his foot onto this craft, I followed him and it soon lifted up rapidly – in front of that craft door. And the whole craft could be about 4 m. above the ground, maybe 4.5 m. [ca: 13 – 15 f.] HP: The craft was hovering in the air, wasn't it? Please, describe the way it moved and how looked like? JW: It was a purely white craft – from outside. HP: And what about it's size and shape? JW: It could be 4.5 maybe to 5 m. [14 – 15 f.] in height and it was as long as a bus, so it looked in that way. I haven't seen any… [unclear but the craft was void of any outer features as lights, joints etc.] [Jan Wolski on other occasion mentioned that there were 4 "barrels" on the craft corners with "drills" (as Wolski said). Those black drill-like objects seemed to be made of black material and were rotating around its axis with great speed although without creating any disturbances in the air. They generate the hum Wolski mentioned.] HP: And it was hovering in the air, wasn't it? When you stand on the platform along with him the tiny elevator brought you swiftly to the interior of the craft…? JW: No, no, no… (It carried us to place) by the craft entrance… [Not inside.] The elevator was on the same height as the entrance to the craft… Not from the bottom but by side. HP: You found himself inside… What could you see there? JW: Inside I could see only several crows – those our black birds… HP: Black ones, as our ravens or rooks… JW: So they were lying under the wall, not that one with the entrance but on the opposite side. To my opinion they seemed to be paralyzed – they were moving with their wings, legs and heads but weren't moving around. HP: Ok... You have encountered two beings [on the ground]. Were there any other inside? JW: Inside of the craft there were also two ones. When we got onboard, there were another two inside. HP: Were there any other appliances onboard? Maybe some gauges or some other things for sleeping or sitting… JW: There were only some benches onboard… From 8 to 10 - I couldn't remember. Benches of some kind for one man to sit. HP: What then happened with you? JW: They ordered me to dress down… HP: By gesticulation? JW: Yes, they showed me to dress down. When I was half-naked, to my waist – and maybe not fully because when I was undressing I removed my jacket, then a blouse with 4 buttons… And when I began to undo two upper ones, the being that was on the elevator with me undid the two ones from the bottom. When I was undressing the fourth being appeared – that one who remained on the ground. […] Well, when I was partially undressed (to my waist) and stood in place I received an order to undress completely. So I took off my shoes. One of the present beings then appeared in front of me with an appliance in a form of two dishes combined in its hand. He neared "the saucers" to my front, then revolved me holding my arm slightly. Then he raised my arm up and began to doing something at my side with those plates… then from behind and on the other side. Then he showed me to dress up. After this order I began to dress up and look around but there were neither windows nor lights visible. HP: Maybe they had some food products with them? JW: I couldn't see anything. [Break]. (They have something that might be food) in form of icicles. They were crumbling it into small chips and insert them into their mouth. He pointed with his finger on the thing in an icicle shape and ask me – not by words but gesticulating – could I eat it. HP: They wanted to treat you with it… JW: Yes, they wanted to treat me with it. But it was somewhat strange for me and I showed with my head move that I wouldn't eat that thing. HP: They ordered you to dress up after scanning you… What was the color inside of the craft: white, green, black… ? JW: It seemed black inside. It was in the same color as their outfits – black although with some grayish tint. HP: Can you describe the outer appearance of the craft? JW: It was transparently white, as polished aluminum. HP: You have said that the beings wore black outfits and had greenish faces. What with their eyes and other face features? JW: They had slightly slanted eyes… They cheekbones were protruding. Once I saw Chinese men and they [the beings] slightly reminded them. But Chinese seemed to more massive and taller… Then he showed me to dress up so I did it and I was about to went off the craft as the being said. When I was about to do it, I turned back and took my cap off saying to them: "Goodbye". All of them took a bow. Then I took a step ahead and found myself on the ground. And that's all. [Jan Wolski also used to term the beings as "monsters".] HP: What about the altitude the craft was hovering? JW: Approximately 5 m. [16 f.], maybe 4 or 4.5 m. I'm not sure. It was hard to establish it then… HP: You then rushed to home and told your family members and neighbors to go there to inspect it… JW: Yes, it's true. When I arrived home I quickly entered inside but my son's weren't there, only my wife… I asked her: "Where are the boys?". She replied that they are somewhere outside. I quickly ran off the house. My wife asked: "What happened?" I replied: "Nothing". "Maybe something is wrong with the mare?" – she asked. Then I ran outside and saw my sons coming from the barn side. I called them saying: "Go quickly on the field and you will see some craft in the air". I even described it as a "car" in the air, something out of ordinary. So they ran to alarm one and another neighbor and then together rushed toward the field. My third son appeared afterwards and I said to him: "You also should go and see it". After a while I joined to them because of curiosity. But when I arrived at the spot along with my sons there were nothing in the air – only grass trodden down covered with dew and paths coming in all directions… When I saw that it disappeared I turned back and returned home. The rest remained at the site checking the footprints etc. Soon two other men joined them. They were inspecting the prints, saw some foot… [As it turned out, the area was full of strange footprints. There were also clues indicating that soil samples might be taken. The footprints were nearly rectangular in shape although soon they were trodden down by local inhabitants and law enforcement officers.] HP: Were those prints left by people of the craft visible? JW: Yes, they were. Boys checked them out and one of them compared the footprint of the being to his feet… I don't know whether it was smaller or bigger (than his feet). HP: Because of this very interesting event you surely have many visitors that want to get to know about the case. I've heard that you had been visited by our scientist, Mr. Blania from Lodz, an ufologist. What is his opinion in this matter? JW: He thinks, after all of my descriptions and all of the incident, after answers to questions about the craft whirring, hum… HP: But the craft wasn't whirring as a car engine for example? JW: No, but it was a rumble of some kind. Something like: "…zzzzz…". I answered him [Mr. Blania] and I don't know who said them that some kid from the village also could hear some noise, a loud hum. So they went to Popiolek family, since he was a son of Popiolek. He [boy Adam Popiolek] said to Mr. Blania that he saw some craft in the air, some balloon (he explained) or car – according to his descriptions. He ran into the house and yelled to his mother: "Mummy, come here because it could destroy our house because there is a craft in the air". The woman went outside but returned after a while to his cooking duties and she hasn't seen the craft. HP: What is the boy's name? JW: Popiolek. [Adam was about 5-year-old in time of incident. After some time it turned out that many other inhabitants of Emilcin witnessed the sighting of UFO object but they didn't want to talk about it. Many also remembered hearing loud bagns.] HP: He's is from here? He lives in Emilcin? JW: Yes. HP: The craft inside was dark or enlightened? There were no windows in its hull? JW: No, there were no windows. The light was coming inside only by the door of the craft since it was in the daylight. HP: What about the door? JW: The door weren't closing as ours but were rolling as some piece of cloth, in that way. Krystyna Adamczyk: Is any other face features of the being were visible, as brows, teeth? JW: There were no brows visible… I don't know what they had in fact – some make up or masks. They only got slanted eyes. I could see some white in their eye corners. And their teeth were also white in color… That's all about them. KA: Have you witnessed the craft disappearance while your retreat from that place? JW: I haven't seen anything. I could only observe the craft only in a distance of 15 m. because it then hid behind some bushes. I was in hurry to reach home and inform my sons about the incident… That's all about it… KA: Can you describe the process when you was treated with the icicle-form food? Were there any sounds when they began to crush it into smaller pieces? JW: There were no crushing sounds. This food was crushing as hardened dough, without any sounds. KA: Was it a terrifying experience or something of utmost importance for you? JW: Just a bit [terrifying], but I'm not very timorous man at all… so I wasn't very scared. KA: Who they were according to your opinion? Who those people are? Are they of terrestrial or of extraterrestrial origin? JW: I can't say anything about it and I'm not orientated in similar matters since I'm not a scientist of some kind but a simple farmer. Therefore, I don't know. I noticed that they were small, of the same height and all of them rather snappy in nature. But I don't know anything about their origin. KA: You have mentioned that they were in some costumes and have greenish faces. Were there any other specific details making they different from us? JW: I noticed then one thing, i.e. around the each one finger there was a thin and tiny fin [he means webbed hands ]. But I don't know the number of their fingers since I didn't count, just saw them. And on their upper necks, in place where hair began, they have something resembling lumps. It was round and protruding but I don't know about it's nature – whether it was a anatomical part of them or they had something hidden them. KA: Did you notice any brews or hair covering their bodies? JW: I didn't notice any hair since their whole body was covered with the suit that also obscured part of their foreheads. But they had no brows I think… They were completely dressed in it – the same one-pieced suit covered their legs and heads. They had no shoes. KA: Can you say us finally when the incident took place? JW: It was on 10th day of May, before 8 a.m., because when I returned and my wife looked at the clock it was about 7:50 a.m. KA: The day it occurred was… JW: 10th May [wondering]… It was in Wednesday… HP: We recorded this conversation with Mr. Jan Wolski from Emilcin on July the 6th 1978. With Mr. Wolski talked: Henryk Pomorski and Krystyna Adamczyk. Thank you Mr. Wolski and see you soon! JW: You welcome! HP: Goodbye! JW: Goodbye! ----------  Additional Information: For Wolski himself, his growing popularity became a serious problem: "Do you know what people then talked about me? They called me an alcoholic or said that it was a mere dream! The worst although were the trips that began coming here. Sometimes there were up to 14 coaches with tourist at once. They harassed me and didn't let to work. And trampled my meadow…"  Wolski gave an interview to Henryk Pomorski & Krystyna Adamczyk in 1978, two months after his experience. Scientists and sociologists from University of Lodz made careful consideration and study of Jan's story, and determined that he truly experienced what he said he did. Wolski died in 1990, fully asserting the veracity of his bizarre experience to the end. ---------- Another witness seems to have seen the same (or identical) craft, although the place and time were different. Henryk Marciniak saw an object in a small town called Golina (mid-western Poland) on 27th September 1978. In the afternoon of that day he went to collect mushrooms on a clearing. Suddenly he saw an unusual craft. With some delay, he eventually took his motorcycle and rode towards the strange object. In a matter of instants he saw an open doorway (which was not there before) and two beings stood on both sides of Marciniak, and he extended his hand in a welcome gesture. The aliens got interested in Marciniak's motorcycle and by using gestures asked him to take a ride. Meanwhile a buzzing sound came from inside the craft, and the beings slowly come back to the object which then goes up and disappears. It's not the end of the Emilcin events. - Wolski was not the only person in Emilcin to see the strange craft and beings; two boys, Adam and Agnieszka Popiowek also saw them. - The owner of a farm in Emilcin, some 200 metres away from the clearing heard an unusual noise! - Two men, driving from Warsaw to Opole Lubelskie, saw a strange object in the sky - Tadeusz Baranowski, an artist who made sketches during research in Emilcin, has found feathers of black birds – strangely cut! ---------- 
CONCLUSION The depth of the investigation undertaken by sociologist Dr. Blania Bolnar and Dr. Ryszard Kitlinsky, a psychologist from the University of Lodz, is truly admirable. Some of the tests administered to Wolski included a theme apperception test, an IQ test in the Wechsler's scale for adults, a psychogalvanometric measurement of psychic tension (polygraph), as well as opthalmological and clinical tests. A full physical check-up was also included, revealing that Wolski was in excellent health despite his age and that he had "an exceptional good quality of the sight, rarely encountered in that corresponding age group." Bolnar's report in Prof. Zigel's book, "Psychological and sociological evaluation of Jan Wolski", includes sections on "Motifs from a viewpoint of a lie hypothesis" (none according to the report), his Emotions, Memory, Mental development, Susceptibility to suggestion, Fantasy ability, Inclination to lie, the Witness as a member of a social group, the Witness and the mass-media, Leisure, Interests, Vices, Religion, and finally an "Evaluation of the witness from the point of view of results of his experience." The scientists found that Wolski was a remarkably credible witness. For instance, wrote Bolnar, "results of the thematic perception test fully indicates that the witness has no ability whatsoever to invent stories of any kind. His mental creativity is not apparent. He is unable to tell a fictitious tale, even a simple one." Likewise, extensive questioning and background checks revealed that "the witness is an honest, truthful, decent person, and this was confirmed in cross-examinations." He was highly regarded within his community and was not known to drink alcohol, smoke or exhibit any other social vice. Above all, it is Wolski's own practical, down-to-earth personality that is most convincing. The witness showed a general "low inclination to fear" and "has not recognized the situation in which he found himself as threatening." As to the behavior of the beings, "the subject has emphasized at several occasions that they were polite and treated him with courtesy and consideration." Drs. Kitlinsky and Bolnar finally examined and rated several hypothesis including a hoax, a hallucination or dream, a religious apparition, a suggestion or coercion by a third party, the landing of a helicopter or experimental craft, etc. All these hypotheses were rated extremely low by the scientists (usually within 1 or 2%). The exception was what they called the "Summary hypothesis: the event with the witness was an objective reality. At the crucial moment, he noticed and stated his experience in accordance with reality, has described a behavior of beings, the arrangement and behavior of the craft, development of events, etc." This hypothesis was rated 90% by Kitlinsky and 98% by Bolnar. Their final "Concluding hypothesis" was that "this case indicates the existence of a phenomenon unknown to science."

| Fortean / Oddball News: Remarkable Triangle UFO, Old 2011 Predictions and No Fear Posted: 17 Dec 2010 08:58 AM PST  Remarkable Triangle Shaped UFO Over Santa Clara County, CA MUFON CMS - near Mountain View, California - 12/15/2010: I was on my patio looking at the stars having a cigarette when I started hearing the sound of what sounded like a small Cessna plane flying over. We don't get any Cessna's flying over so I thought it was strange. I kept watching, and to my total SHOCK I saw a triangle appear over the building next door (apartments). It was flying low enough to make out that it was definitely a triangle with two bright "headlights", and as I watched it fly over me my mouth was dropped wide open, and I was completely speechless. As it passed overhead, I noticed light hitting the undercarriage and it appeared to have some kind of bar across the sides of the bottom, but I could only make out one side of the belly. When it was completely overhead, I noticed a back light on the back tip of the triangle. There was only the three lights though, no light in the center of the belly. It was not using any kind of spot light or anything. It was just traveling overhead like it was on it's own agenda. I popped my head out from the overhang of the patio to really get a good look and see if I was really "seeing" this. It continued flying over my complex, and disappeared from my sight after flying over my building. At that point, I started calling my husband Ron several times, and he just didn't hear me calling for him. I guess I wasn't loud enough. Like I said, it sounded like a Cessna, but there was no way! It was clearly a triangle. I wasn't scared of it, just shocked. I have seen pictures on TV and in books of the famous "triangle", but never saw one myself. I'd LOVE to see it again. The whole time elapsed was about two minutes. I then looked at the clock and it said 11:00pm (California time). I tried to go to sleep after at about 12:00 midnight, and found it difficult to fall asleep. As I laid there, I heard that EXACT SAME SOUND AGAIN! I laid in bed (out of shock) and heard it for about an additional 15 minutes! Now, nearby in Mountain View, we have an old NASA base, but they don't test military planes there. We also have a secret military base up in the Santa Cruz mountains, and God only knows what they do up there. This was smaller than the Stealth, and anyway, it made a motor noise. There's no way it was a hang glider at night either. That's just not possible in the area I live in. I have always believed in "UFO's", and also believe I had several experiences as a child. But this is the first time in my adulthood that something like this has happened. I hope that it really was a "UFO", and hope to hear from you if your getting any other reports about last night. It wasn't that late, and people were still up. The picture I am attaching is NOT one I took. It's just the closest I could find on the internet to show what it looked like. Just a few changes though. There was NO light in the center of the undercarriage. Just the three white lights at the tip. ********** Israeli Air Firce Shoots Down UFO Over Nuclear Plant cnn - The Israeli Air Force shot down an unidentified flying object over the Dimona nuclear plant in the Negev Desert Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces said. The object appeared in a designated no-fly zone, the air force was scrambled and the object was shot down, the IDF said. The object could have been a party balloon, the IDF said, but forces have not yet found the debris to determine what it was. There have been unconfirmed media reports that it was a motor-driven object. The air force reacted according to procedure when the object was spotted, the IDF said. The Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported that last October "IDF warplanes intercepted an Israeli ultralight aircraft that accidentally flew into the area and forced it to land at an airstrip in southern Israel." It also reported that "an Israeli surface-to-air missile downed a crippled Israeli fighter-bomber that strayed into the restricted zone" during the Six Day War in 1967. The craft's pilot was killed. ********** Predictions for 2011...from 1931 npr - Back in 1931, The New York Times asked a bunch of luminaries to predict what the world would be like in 2011. Here are a few of the highlights. The sociologist William Ogburn was off in a few big ways: He predicted the end of poverty and said the U.S. population would be 160 million (it's nearly twice that). Nevertheless, a lot of what he wrote rings true today: Labor displacement will proceed even to automatic factories. The magic of remote control will be commonplace. Humanity's most versatile servant will be the electron tube.... the heterogeneity of material culture will mean specialists and languages that only specialists can understand. ... Inevitable technological progress and abundant natural resources yield a higher standard of living. Poverty will be eliminated and hunger as a driving force of revolution will not be a danger. Inequality of income and problems of social justice will remain.... The role of government is bound to grow. Technicians and special interest groups will leave only a shell of democracy. The family cannot be destroyed but will be less stable in the early years of married life, divorce being greater than now. The lives of women will be more like those of men, spent more outside the home. Scientist and inventor Michael Pupin predicted greater income equality: The great inventions which laid the foundation of our modern industries and of the resulting industrial civilization were all born during the last eighty years ... This civilization is the greatest material achievement of applied science during this memorable period. Its power for creating wealth was never equaled in human history. But it lacks the wisdom of distributing equitably the wealth which it creates. One can safely prophesy that during the next eighty years this civilization will correct this deficiency by creating an industrial democracy which will guarantee to the worker an equitable share in the wealth produced by his work. For several decades after Pupin made this call, income equality did increase. But the trend didn't hold: Since the 1970s, the gap between rich and poor has grown. W.J. Mayo, of clinic fame, comes pretty close to the mark: Contagious and infectious diseases have been largely overcome, and the average length of life of man has increased to fifty-eight years.... The progress that is being made would suggest that within the measure of time for this forecast the average life time of civilized man would be raised to the biblical term of three-score and ten.... Although we may desire to believe only what we can see, our emotions will predominate when crises beyond human understanding confront us, and some form of religion will continue to sustain people in time of stress. ********** Woman Has Bizarre 'No Fear' Condition dailymail - A woman who knows no fear because of damage to a key emotion centre in her brain is lucky to be alive, scientists said today. The US woman, known only as SM, lives in a poor and dangerous neighbourhood and has been the victim of numerous crimes. She has shrugged off being held at knife and gunpoint, death threats, and assaults, and was once nearly killed by an act of domestic violence. Yet even when her life was in peril her behaviour 'lacked any sense of desperation or urgency', said researchers. She was simply unafraid. In tests SM also showed no hint of fear when exposed to snakes and spiders, during a trip to one of the world's scariest haunted houses, or while watching clips of spine-chilling horror films. But other emotions such as happiness and sadness remained entirely intact. SM suffers from a rare condition that has destroyed her amygdala, an almond-shaped region of the brain. The study involving SM is the first to confirm that this brain region is also responsible for experiencing fear in humans. Reporting on her case today in the journal Current Biology, US scientists said her condition left her vulnerable to walking into dangerous situations. Neuropsychologist Justin Feinstein, one of the researchers at the University of Iowa, said: 'The nature of fear is survival and the amygdala helps us stay alive by avoiding situations, people, or objects that put our life in danger. 'Because SM is missing her amygdala, she is also missing the ability to detect and avoid danger in the world. It is quite remarkable that she is still alive.' The biggest surprise for the scientists was SM's reaction to spiders and snakes, both of which she claimed to 'hate'. Yet at an exotic pet shop she had to be prevented from touching a venomous tarantula, and displayed a 'compulsive desire' to handle the larger and more dangerous snakes. The researchers also took her to Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky, reputed to be one of the most haunted sites in the world. Once a year staff at the sanatorium add to the spooky atmosphere by dressing as monsters and ghosts that attempt to frighten visitors. Amid screams from other members of her tour group, SM could not be scared - and even gave one of the 'monsters' a shock by poking it in the head. SM 'showed no signs of nervousness or apprehension while walking through dark passageways, and was never visibly frightened by any of the numerous attempts to scare her', the scientists wrote. The researchers believe the work could lead to better treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety conditions. 'This past year, I've been treating veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan who suffer from PTSD,' said Mr Feinstein. 'Their lives are marred by fear, and they are oftentimes unable to even leave their home due to the ever-present feeling of danger. 'In striking contrast, the patient in this study is immune to these states of fear and shows no symptoms of post-traumatic stress. 'The horrors of life are unable to penetrate her emotional core. In essence, traumatic events leave no emotional imprint on her brain.' **********  WE'RE BACK!!! Starting on Sunday, January 9th, 2011 at 9pm ET...the new BTE begins!

| Self-Healing Autonomous Material Being Developed Posted: 17 Dec 2010 07:57 AM PST  Now, in the Journal of Applied Physics, researchers at Arizona State University have created a material that may be able to not only sense damage in structural materials, such as cracking in a fiber-reinforced composite, but to even heal it. The aim of developing "autonomous adaptive structures" is to mimic the ability of biological systems such as bone to sense the presence of damage, halt its progression, and regenerate itself. The novel autonomous material developed by Henry Sodano and colleagues uses "shape-memory" polymers with an embedded fiber-optic network that functions as both the damage detection sensor and thermal stimulus delivery system to produce a response that mimics the advanced sensory and healing traits shown in biological systems. An infrared laser transmits light through the fiber-optic system to locally heat the material, stimulating the toughening and healing mechanisms. The material system is capable of increasing the toughness of a specimen by 11 times. After toughening the specimen, the crack can be closed using the shape-memory effect to recover an unprecedented 96 percent of the object's original strength. In fact, after the crack is closed, the new material is nearly five times as tough as the original specimen, even though it has been strained past its original failure strain point by a factor of four. The material and healing process can be applied while the structure is in operation, which has not been possible with existing healing techniques. From AIP - Journal of Applied Physics: "Biological systems exhibit many advanced sensory and healing traits that can be applied to the design of modern material systems. The foremost goal for the development of future adaptive structures is to provide materials capable of autonomously adapting in order to impede damage progression and, subsequently, heal the damaged region. Here, a novel autonomous material system is devised using shape memory polymers (SMPs), which employ a fiber optic network, functioning both as a damage detection sensor and thermal stimulus delivery system. This system mimics the advanced sensory system as well as toughening and healing mechanisms found in human bones. By incorporating both methods into this material, the resulting autonomous system is able to increase toughness by 11 times over the original material. In addition to toughening, the shape memory effect can be used to close the crack and upon reloading of the toughened SMP specimen to failure, the system demonstrates a 96% strength recovery of the virgin strength. Following crack closure the new material system has 4.9 times more toughness than the un-toughened specimen even through it has been strained four times past its virgin failure strain." From Unknown Country: "An extraordinary metal was found among the debris that came from the UFO that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947--It was so thin, you could bend it and it would spring back into its original shape, but so touch that a bullet couldn't be fired through it. Now we're close to making the same thing ourselves! Researchers have created a material that may be able to not only sense damage but to even heal it, mimicking the ability of biological systems such as bone to sense the presence of damage, halt its progression, and regenerate itself. The material system is capable of increasing the toughness of a specimen by 11 times. After toughening the specimen, the crack can be closed using the shape-memory effect to recover an unprecedented 96% of the object's original strength. In fact, after the crack is closed, the new material is nearly five times as tough as the original specimen."
