奧巴馬:全球經濟命系歐債危機

http://news.sina.com   2011年09月13日 06:03   中國日報
  (紐約十二日電)美國總統奧巴馬表示,除非歐債危機得到解決,否則全球經濟不會有好轉。美國正在幫助歐洲制定解決方案,但決定因素還在歐洲大國自己。
據道瓊斯通訊社9月13日報道,美國總統奧巴馬12日接受採訪時表示,圍繞希臘、西班牙和意大利的債務擔憂不斷上升,除非這場危機得到解決,否則全球經濟會一直保持疲弱態勢。
奧巴馬在採訪中指出,美國正在與歐洲各國當局並肩作戰,幫助為深陷困境的國家制定解決問題的方案,「但說到底,歐洲大國必須團結起來,共同為克 服危機尋找答案」。他表示:「我認為,只要這個問題不解決,我們就會一直目睹全球經濟疲弱不堪,這將是定於11月份召開的二十國集團(G20)領導人會議 的重要議題。」
奧巴馬還表示,眼下希臘明顯是最為緊迫的問題之所在,「他們已經採取措施延緩危機,但並沒有徹底解決危機,而更大的問題在於西班牙和意大利。」
歐洲股市12日大幅下挫,歐元兌日圓也跌至10年低點,原因在於關於希臘可能違約的談論加重了全球經濟再度衰退之憂。不過,美國股市獨樹一幟,道指收盤上漲0.63%,因有媒體報道稱中國正在與意大利商談購買後者債券事宜。

債務危機加劇 美財長蓋特納意外出訪歐洲

http://news.sina.com   2011年09月13日 06:03   中國日報
  (布魯塞爾十二日電)美國財長蓋特納本周對波蘭進行一日訪問,與歐元區財長進行前所未有的會談.在此之際,對希臘可能破産的擔憂日甚,打擊歐洲銀行類股。
蓋特納此次出訪令人意外,因為他周六剛在法國馬賽出席了七國集團(G7)財長會議.在這次會議上,他說歐洲的最強大經濟體必須向最弱經濟體提供「明確」的支持。
預計蓋特納周五參加歐元區財長會議,然後返回華盛頓.美國財政部周一隻是表示,他這次將討論提振全球經濟復甦和金融監管合作,但美國關注的是歐洲債務危機可能擴散所構成的風險。
希臘若出現債務違約可能衝擊歐洲大型核心經濟體,這種擔憂周一變得更為突出.法國銀行類股重挫,投資者對於歐元區克服主權債務危機的信心減弱。
蓋特納此行將是美國財長首次參加歐元區財長會議.但這並非其第一次試圖敦促歐洲更加果斷地採取行動來解決債務問題。
3月時,他曾在歐盟峰會召開前僅幾天內,對德國進行為期一天的訪問,期間與德國財長朔伊布勒會晤,並敦促歐洲國家加大應對危機的努力。
周五,他與朔伊布勒再次進行一對一會談,但雙方均未談及此次會談的討論內容。
周一,法國興業銀行(SOGN.PA: 行情)、法國巴黎銀行(BNPP.PA: 行情)和法國農業信貸銀行(CAGR.PA: 行情)股價都暴跌逾10%,因人們預計,由於這些銀行對希臘債券持有巨大的風險敞口,評級機構穆迪將很快下調其評級。
歐洲央行(ECB)執委會成員史塔克周五意外辭職,而且德國政界人士周末的言論暗示希臘可能不得不違約並將"脫離"歐元區,這些都推動歐元兌日圓跌至10年低位,且令歐元兌美元跌至七個月低位,不過之後歐元收復部分失地。
"歐洲目前並非只是從一個危機過渡到另一個危機,而是在此前危機尚未結束前,便又迎來一場新的危機,"SMBC日興證券資深策略師Makoto Noji稱。
周一的這場風暴迫使法國興業銀行宣佈正在考慮上周才否認過的進一步重大舉措,加速資産處理,深化成本削減,以釋出40億歐元的新資本.該行是近幾周遭衝擊最嚴重的法國銀行。
周一,法興的市值從2007年中期的1,100億歐元縮減至僅120億歐元.該行總裁表示,不存在關於可能的國家干預的討論。
法國財政經濟部長巴胡安(Francois Baroin)稱,法國銀行業穩固,足以承受希臘出現的任何危機.法國央行總裁諾亞緊急發表聲明,稱法國銀行業未面臨危險。
「銀行業不存在危機,因為那些目前在市場上遭遇打壓的銀行,都擁有一切必要手段來提供解決辦法,」巴胡安對記者表示,其並稱,G7成員國央行承諾提供「銀行所需的流動性」。
法國銀行業者和保險業者並不僅僅是希臘政府債券的最大外國持有者,而且還是意大利的主要債權人,而後者日益成為市場的關注點。

白宮:911恐怖威脅非「胡扯」將續查

http://news.sina.com 2011年09月13日 06:03 中國日報

  (華盛頓十二日電)白宮發言人卡尼12日表示,有關恐怖分子可能在「911」十周年紀念日前後發動恐怖襲擊的「情報」並非「胡扯」,官方仍將繼續追查相關線索。

  在當天白宮例行記者會上,卡尼仍然堅稱上述情報「具體、可靠」,並非「胡扯」。他表示,美國政府將繼續關注這一情報,並對相關線索追查到底。奧巴馬總統上周末在會見他的國安團隊時已明確表示,這是非常必要的。

  卡尼說,在本·拉登住所收集到的信息顯示,基地組織對在特別或重大的日子(發動襲擊)非常有興趣。因此,美國政府對上周末「911」十周年紀念日期間沒有發生恐怖襲擊事件顯然鬆了一口氣。

  「但是,在紀念日之後,我們不會突然終止我們的警戒,警戒仍將繼續。特別是在目前反恐戰爭仍在繼續的情況下。」卡尼說。

  9月8日晚,美國政府官員發佈信息稱,收到恐怖分子可能將在「911」十周年前後發動針對紐約或華盛頓的恐怖襲擊的「具體、可靠」的情報。隨後,紐約、華盛頓等全面提升了安全警戒。

  9月11日,華盛頓五角大樓、紐約世貿遺址和賓夕法尼亞州尚克斯維爾93號航班墜毀處等地都舉行了隆重的紀念儀式,期間除了幾次虛驚,各地的紀念活動都安全圓滿地落幕。

劫富濟貧 奧巴馬擬以稅改換就業

http://news.sina.com 2011年09月13日 06:03 中國日報

  (華盛頓十二日電)奧巴馬在上周四提出了矚目已久的就業刺激計劃,預計將耗資4470億美元。有市場人士認為,如果得以通過,可能會在一定程度上對2012年的經濟發展起到提升作用。在今天提出的具體方案中,奧巴馬總統計劃用終止減稅的形式來支付這筆就業刺激計劃的開支。終止減稅的對象包括石油、天然氣公司、對沖基金經理以及年收入在20萬美元者。

  據《華爾街時報》消息,白宮管理和預算辦公室主任傑克-盧(Jack Lew)今天稱,奧巴馬總統計劃10年內將終止共計約4670億美元的減稅。據悉,奧巴馬此前已經提議終止減稅方案,不過受到了共和黨人的強硬抵制。因此,對於這次提議,預計白宮方面將會繼續和共和黨人進行爭辨。

  今年夏天,共和黨人的一個議題就是不能終止減稅,理由是在美國瀕臨二次衰退之際,終止減稅將有害於經濟的復甦。減稅的直接效應是增加個人和企業在現時的投資和消費行為,因此被認為在短期內有助於提升經濟發展。不過反之政府會因此減少財政收入。

  白宮對增加對富人的征稅會傷害經濟一說表示異議。新聞秘書長卡尼(Jay Carney)稱,由於支付開支被分散開來,該議案「沒有負面影響。」

  奧巴馬此舉被認為是在賭共和黨可能會在稅改問題上讓步。在今夏的債務上限談判中,共和黨因其強硬的態度傷及經濟而備受批評。

  盧稱大多數美國人會贊成此項計劃。「對大多數美國人來說這不是一個艱難的決定,」他說。終止對石油、天然氣公司以及年收入在20萬美元者的減稅,將換來經濟發展和就業增長。

  奧巴馬總統將在今天晚些時候向國會提交他的就業計劃,包括資金來源。在今天早上白宮玫瑰園舉行的講話中,奧巴馬總統呼籲國會通過該項方案。他說,「這就是國會需要通過的法案--沒有游戲、沒有政治、沒有推延。」

  白宮的稅改方案涉及:

  --條款化減免稅上限(個人收入20萬美元,家庭收入25萬美元),預計4000億美元;

  --附帶權益(Carried Interest)將被視作常規收入收稅而非按資本收益稅率增稅,預計180億美元;

  --石油、天然氣公司減稅,預計400億美元;

  --企業自有飛機折舊減稅,預計30億美元。

Unacceptable Emotions Soon to be Analyzed in Airports

Brandon Turbeville
Activist Post

A recent article published by the BBC entitled “New Emotion Detector Can See When We’re Lying,” introduces a new concept to the prison camp known as Western airports -- the addition of “emotion detectors.” The “new” technology is essentially a system of video cameras connected to “a high-resolution thermal imaging sensor and a suite of algorithms.”

The idea behind the most recent Big Brother system being implemented at British airports, or at least the one that is being touted by the security state, is that since humans give away their emotions through a variety of unconscious means, the ability to read these facial cues would greatly enable security agents to interpret the intentions and the honesty of potential terrorists and thereby thwart coming attacks. In order to do this, the surveillance system uses eye movements, dilated pupils, biting, nose wrinkling, heavy breathing, pressing lips together, blinking, swallowing, and other facial movements. The system also detects swelling blood vessels around the eyes.

As Professor Hassan Ugail from Bradford University, a leading researcher on the project, states, “We bring together all this well-established work on expressions, these recent developments in thermal imaging, techniques for image tracking of subjects and our new algorithms into one operational system.”  Ugail has also stated that he believes he will eventually be able to detect those who are lying with an accuracy rate of around 90%, even though it is currently far less effective than that, and admittedly will never be 100%.  Regardless, the system is ready to be deployed even during a time of heightened fear and paranoia that is leading to millions being added to terror databases or no-fly lists for the slightest suspicions.

Both the article and the researchers (as they are quoted in the article), are also quite deceptive in their presentation. Although the system is presented as a new and much-improved version of the lie detector, the fact is that these systems are not lie detectors at all. They are emotion detectors.

By reading the facial cues listed above, the technology can detect emotions such as fear, nervousness, anger, anxiety etc. These emotions can often be symptoms of one who is lying, but they are not guarantees by any means. Indeed, even the BBC article states that this system only detect emotions “such as distress, fear or distrust, and not the act of lying itself.” In short, experiencing one or more of these emotions does not equal lying -- these days it equals flying.

Anyone who does not experience at least one of the "trigger" emotions as they get groped, blasted with radiation, yelled at, or intimidated by bomb-sniffing dogs, heavily armed police, and moronic goons is simply not capable of much feeling.

Even without the obnoxious security measures implemented in airports, the normal stresses of travel provide plenty of opportunities to experience negative emotions. Long lines, screaming children, jet lag, inconsiderate fellow travelers, etc can all be taxing enough.

However, with the rape downs occurring at every airport in the Western world, the cancer-causing  body scanners, and the constant harassment  of travelers for every possible “out of the ordinary” act (even going to the bathroom), it is quite hard to believe that traveling through an airport could evoke any emotion other than fear, distress, distrust, or anger.  I, myself, have been through the notorious airport screeners and, I have to say, I was not happy when I got to the other side of security.  There is little doubt that, had an emotion scanner been in place in any of the airports I went through, I would have been pulled aside for extra questioning.

Yet, ironically, it is not only the behavior of the TSA and all the other “go along to get along” enforcers that provokes traveler anxiety. The constant fear mongering of the media and the government about the possibility of being blown to bits by foreign or domestic extremists every time one enters a public building might also be cause for some genuine feelings of fear and distress. Now the traveler will be harassed and questioned for the crime of feeling the fear that the system told him he must feel to begin with!

But the issue is not the effectiveness of the technology; the issue is whether law-abiding, innocent travelers should be subjected to screening and pre-crime surveillance. Considering the blatant abuse of power and uncontrollable behavior of the security agents in airports the world over, if anyone should be subjected to emotional behavioral screening based on their actions it should be those doing the bidding of this tyrannical system.

Indeed, if innocent people are forced to virtually strip naked, have their genitals groped and prodded, be subjected to cancer-causing radiation, and the verbal, sometimes physical, abuse of security agents, then be told to endure all of this without feeling the natural emotions of anger, distrust, or distress, then it seems the issue of Freedom vs. Security has been settled. Unfortunately, both have been severely compromised.

新的情感探測器可以看到我們在說謊

New emotion detector can see when we're lying

Hamish Pritchard
BBC

A sophisticated new camera system can detect lies just by watching our faces as we talk, experts say.

The computerised system uses a simple video camera, a high-resolution thermal imaging sensor and a suite of algorithms.

Researchers say the system could be a powerful aid to security services.

It successfully discriminates between truth and lies in about two-thirds of cases, said lead researcher Professor Hassan Ugail from Bradford University.

The system, developed by a team from the universities of Bradford and Aberystwyth in conjunction with the UK Border Agency, was unveiled today at the British Science Festival in Bradford.

聯合國已死

United Nations is just another mask for the world elite
by ElCid
 
The United Nations Charter states that its purpose is:
  • to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our
    lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
  • to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of
    the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and
    small, and
  • to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations
    arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained,
    and
  • to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

  • to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good
    neighbours, and
  • to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and
  • to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods,
    that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and
  • to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and
    social advancement of all peoples,
These principals are NOT being enforced in Libya by the United Nations chartered countries who have sworn to uphold these principals in particular all the countries aligned in NATO!
Let it be known world wide that in view of the clear breach of United Nations Resolution 1973 by NATO allied countries, who are bombing and killing Libya civilians instead of protecting them as was their stated mission and the fact that the United Nations has not met to prevent the clear violation of this resolution despite the war crimes being committed by NATO, that the United Nations should no longer to be viewed as a creditable organisation. The United Nations no longer stands for the principal for which it came into existence!
It would appear that the United Nations is now but another mask for the world elite, who own it, and who are bent on using it as an instrument to gain control of all independent nations in their quest to establish a world fascist government. The government of the United States in particular is already controlled; their Congress, Senate and President continually bought and directed by the Council on Foreign Relation (CFR). The United Kingdom and France are similarly run by elitists. It is an affront to any critical thinking person to call these countries democracies.
To call these countries democracies is an abject farce in view of the fact that the politicians do not honour their commitments to the people who they are supposed to represent but instead act on instructions from the corporations who contribute to their elections or sponsor their political parties! What these countries have become are corporate fascist dictatorships. Their policies no longer reflect the wishes of the people but the interests of elitist corporations who own them.
People also need to recognised that each and every country which has recognised the Transition National Council (TNC) in Libya, which is unelected and NOT representative of the Libyan people, are doing so contrary to the democratic principals of self determination which is the sole right only of the Libya people themselves! It is not the right of the United Nations or NATO countries or the mainstream media to recognise defacto representatives of an unelected government! Who made Mustafa Abdul Jalil the leader of Libya? Not the people of Libya! Further, since the TNC is NOT a popular movement throughout Libya there is no justification for any government or body to declare the TNC or anyone associated with it as representative of the Libyan people! The fact that the TNC has no popular base throughout Libya makes it nothing more than a rogue organisation created by the CIA and MI6 whose leading members are made up of Al-Qaeda and CIA operatives. What this organisation should be called is what it would be in Iraq or Afghanistan on this basis and that is a terrorist organisation! If the nations of the world are willing to accept TNC then the Tailban in Afghanistan on this basis have just as much right to be recognised as the true government of Afghanistan. (The elections in that country having excluded the disaffected resistance to the predominantly American occupation cannot be viewed as being legitimate and representative of a free people.)
People also need to realise that the western mainstream media is completely bought and nothing more than a tool of the same elitists who own them! There has been no objectivity whatsoever about this war in Libya (or in Iraq or Afghanistan for that matter). Again, the "rebels" or the TNC are NOT a popular movement of the Libyan people and as such cannot be viewed as anything more than puppets of a NATO backed movement to overthrow the legitimate Jamahiriya government of Libya. The fact that mainstream media reports from only the "rebels" side is clearly indicative of their bias and propagandising of this war.
Likewise it seems clear that most human rights groups in the world are also bought and that includes Amnesty International who have said nothing about the war crimes being committed by NATO and the TNC!
NOTE: The death of the United Nations is about to be pronounced on so-called UN International Peace Day on September 21 by religious leaders of all faiths -- stay tuned and support this initiative: contact any religious leader that you have respect for and ask them if they would be interested in calling for Global Peace Now, and the failure of the UN, pronouncing it dead: ask them to contact www.globalpeacenow.com or www.drkapaul.com and leave a message there so they can be contacted and consulted or do so yourself acting as a communication bridge.#

Area 51的真相

Popularmechanics
By Earl Swift
Earlier this year, author Annie Jacobsen created a stir with her new book about Area 51, which proposed fantastic claims about its UFO and alien past. Our own investigation reveals why those claims don't stand up to scrutiny.
Though it's just a small part of a sprawling complex that includes a nuclear test site and a military base, Area 51 has had an outsize reputation since its inception, in 1955.
Though it's just a small part of a sprawling complex that includes a nuclear test site and a military base, Area 51 has had an outsize reputation since its inception, in 1955.
September 12, 2011

Up in the desert above Las Vegas hides a dusty air base ringed by towering mountains, buffered by an atomic testing preserve and guarded around the clock. It isn't much to look at—a knot of hangars, fuel tanks and prefab living quarters beside a dry lakebed and a long runway. The parched ground sprouts little but creosote, scorpion weed and the odd Joshua tree.

But for generations, this lonely outpost has itched some people like a bad case of poison ivy. Secrecy about what goes on there has fueled all manner of speculation: It's a port for visiting spacecraft, or a venue for alien autopsies, or a lab where captured UFOs are reverse-engineered to America's military advantage. An industry has sprung up around this guesswork—TV tell-alls, books and websites by the dozens. The public appetite for conspiracy theories involving Area 51—aka Groom Lake, Dreamland, Homey Airport, Paradise Ranch or Watertown—appears insatiable. Reasonable people, smart people, eat them up.

So when a book comes along that promises to really, truly explain the place, and said book is by a contributor to the Los Angeles Times Magazine and put out by a major publisher and wins praise from The New York Times, NPR and national TV shows (Fox & Friends called it "an incredible piece of journalism"), we can't help but take notice.

For much of its 523 pages, Annie Jacobsen's Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base is the story of the men who, starting in 1955, developed and tested secret Cold War reconnaissance aircraft at Groom Lake—the CIA's U-2 and A-12 Oxcart, the latter of which flew with modifications as the Air Force's SR-71 Blackbird. Jacobsen interviewed 74 people, including 32 who lived and worked on the base. Many of them belong to Roadrunners Internationale, the alumni association of Groom Lake pilots, engineers, mechanics and such. The Roadrunners gladly spoke to her: Their Cold War activities had recently been declassified; they were getting on in years; they wanted their achievements recorded.

"We were very, very happy with what she was doing," T.D. Barnes, a radar expert and the Roadrunners' president, told us. "She did a great job of researching. She did everything a good journalist would do." Retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonels Roger W. Andersen and Francis J. Murray were also impressed; Murray said Jacobsen "was constantly taking notes" and "really seemed to be making sure that what we told her was correct." But for all of Jacobsen's apparent diligence, the men were surprised, and not happily, by the finished product: After Barnes read Area 51, for instance, he denounced her in a blog post as "an author who refuses to repent her literary crimes and errors."

The focus of the Roadrunners' criticism is a UFO conspiracy theory so fantastic that it makes the infamous and historically discredited tale about a 1947 crash of a flying saucer in Roswell, N.M., seem tame. The bottom line of the traditional Roswell story is that the purported extraterrestrial UFO wreckage was taken to Area 51 and subsequently became the object of a massive government coverup. Relying on the testimony of a single unnamed source, Jacobsen's book repeats the claim that some sort of UFO crashed at Roswell. But in her telling, the craft wasn't of alien origin. Instead, it was a saucer built by the Soviets using technology they'd obtained from German engineers at the end of World War II. And there's more. According to her unnamed source, the craft was manned by human teenagers who had been medically altered to look like aliens, with giant heads and eyes like wraparound Oakleys.

Who would do such a thing to children? Why, notorious Nazi death camp doctor Josef Mengele, Jacobsen writes, quoting her source quoting another source or sources, also unnamed. Seems that Mengele was working for Soviet boss Josef Stalin, who needed the mutants for a special project: scaring the daylights out of America with a fake alien visitation. Yes, it was all a hoax_ the most lavish prank in history.

Jacobsen reports that the wreckage was moved from Roswell to Wright Field (now Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, near Dayton, Ohio), where it was kept until 1951, then moved to the Nevada desert. There, her unnamed source was part of a team studying the saucer. They discovered that it ran on "electromagnetic frequency, or EMF," Jacobsen quotes him as saying, and he claims America has had the technology since. She offers no details on how this "EMF" propulsion might work, and the term could mean almost anything. All forms of electromagnetic radiation—radio waves, visible light, X-rays and more—operate at particular frequencies. The notion that devices such as airplanes might be powered remotely by electromagnetic energy is at least a century old. But the concept has never worked on a large scale—the quantity of energy required would be unimaginably large.

One more thing: Two "child-size aviators" from the craft, alive but comatose, wound up in the desert too. They were stored in gel, the unnamed source told Jacobsen, and they moved their mouths as if trying to speak. Why would America hide the fact that Mengele had produced these sad creatures at Stalin's behest? "Because," the source tells Jacobsen, "we were doing the same thing... We performed medical experiments on handicapped children and prisoners," and we did it "at least through the 1980s."

Jacobsen offers no corroboration for this; instead, she presents irrelevant information that has been trotted out for many years by Roswell alien UFO conspiracy theorists. She writes that she pressed her source for details of the horrors he saw at Area 51, but he wouldn't budge. "He said he was hurting," Jacobsen writes. "That soon he would die. That, really, it was best that I did not learn any more because I didn't have a need-to-know."

Could this be true? Could any of this be true?

Let's start with the flying saucer, which Jacobsen ascribes to German aeronautical engineers Walter and Reimar Horten. It's a fact that before and during the war, the Horten brothers built a series of ever more sophisticated all-wing aircraft, culminating with the jet-powered Horten 229, a boomerang-shaped contrivance that bore a passing resemblance to Jack Northrop's YB-49 bomber prototype of the late '40s, as well as to the U.S. Air Force's much more recent B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

Jacobsen writes that the brothers might have been at work on something more ambitious at war's end, and that the invading Soviets might have seized their blueprints. Within a few pages, she refers matter-of-factly to "the Horten brothers and their advanced flying saucer." Jacobsen cites postwar German sources who described and even sketched what she calls "saucer-like" craft. One was shaped like a half-moon, another, according to "Professor George," was "very much like a round cake with a large sector cut out."

We searched for evidence, finding none, that the brothers created a true flying saucer. (The book includes a photograph of the Hortens' Parabola, an all-wing, parenthesis-shaped craft with rounded edges; the photo is suggestive but its relevance to the story not explained.) We consulted with David Myhra, an aviation expert whose books include four on the Hortens, and who spent several weeks with Reimar Horten at his ranch in Argentina in the 1980s. "The Horten brothers never, ever went to any kind of a circular aircraft design," Myhra said. "There were no flying saucers in the Horten line, at all."

Jacobsen spoke with Myhra several times while writing Area 51. When Myhra read the book's claim about the Horten disc, he told us, "I thought, this is a piece of science fiction."
September 12, 2011
 
Next up: the mutant pubescents inside the crashed saucer. Quoting her unnamed source, Jacobsen writes that Stalin tapped Mengele, the infamous "Angel of Death" at the Auschwitz concentration camp, to create the faux aliens "shortly before or immediately after the end of the war," and that in exchange the Soviet leader offered the Nazi safe haven and a place to work, but later reneged on the deal.

There's a lack of common sense in this yarn. The cliché that aliens are small, Twizzler-limbed beings with outsized noggins and buggy eyes came along years after Roswell, thanks notably to Steven Spielberg's 1977 film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Until then, they were almost exclusively portrayed as proportionally humanoid, robotic or (in the case of H.G. Wells's 1898 book, The War of the Worlds) tentacled. So why would Stalin place children with surgical makeovers in the saucer? He could have incited a panic, if that had been his aim, using a seasoned Soviet pilot who'd undergone a little nip and tuck.

Then there is historical fact. No evidence exists that Mengele had the medical skill to perform such transformations, much less the time to do them. He arrived at Auschwitz in May 1943 and served as chief doctor in the Birkenau subcamp, where he selected incoming prisoners for slave labor or the gas chamber. He also conducted horrific medical experiments, including some on dwarfs and twins. His activities during this time are extremely well-documented. He was not building aliens.

With the Red Army nearing Auschwitz in January 1945, Mengele fled to another camp, Gross-Rosen, then retreated farther west with a field hospital unit until his capture by American troops. After several weeks in custody, Mengele was released and devoted himself to keeping his head down, first as a farmhand in Bavaria and later near his hometown of Günzburg. He stayed there until he slipped off to South America, in 1949. To sum up: According to Mengele biographer Gerald L. Posner, the doctor was fully occupied—sorting potatoes and baling hay in rural Germany—during the nearly two years before the supposed Roswell crash.

Now, about the saucer's hardware. Jacobsen writes that Stalin wanted to scare the States because he was lagging in the Cold War arms race: Two years away from being able to field an A-bomb, he deployed the saucer as "a warning shot across Truman's bow," she quotes her unnamed source as saying—a nudge to the U.S. president that the Soviets had technological tricks of their own.

This raises several questions of logic. If the Soviets were struggling with nuclear fission, how likely is it that they'd mastered the EMF technology that supposedly drove the saucer? If they had mastered EMF, why would they crash or land the saucer on U.S. soil, thereby making a gift of the technology to their greatest rival? If both the U.S. and Russia have had EMF technology for 60-plus years, why are we still flying old-school, fuel-chugging planes? Why did we use Hueys in Vietnam? Why didn't we use EMF to power the space shuttle?

But onward: Jacobsen writes that her unnamed source was one of five engineers to eyeball the crashed saucer at a secret research facility in the desert in 1951, four years before the Groom Lake air base opened a short distance away. He saw Cyrillic lettering "in a ring running around the inside of the craft," she reports. There were controls in the cockpit, but the craft was apparently flown by remote control.

We called Peter W. Merlin, an aviation historian who's written much about Groom Lake, including X-Plane Crashes: Exploring Experimental, Rocket Plane, and Spycraft Incidents, Accidents and Crash Sites. (It's safe to say he knows his stuff about the downing of some very unusual flying machines.) Merlin shared with us an October 1952 aerial photo of the area shot by the U.S. Geological Survey. The photo, he noted, "shows nothing there" but an abandoned World War II airstrip. "All the well-documented historical narratives show that Area 51—not by that name, but as a facility—was built in 1955," Merlin said. As for who was piloting the alleged saucer: Wireless, remote-control technology was just a few years old in 1947; it wasn't yet available on American TVs. So does it make sense that the Soviets would have used it to guide an aircraft from thousands of miles away?

When we first spoke with Jacobsen, three days after the book's release, we asked whether she realized this story might strike some people as "pretty nutty" (our exact words). She answered that she did. "The whole thing sounds so preposterous, [but] the reason I chose to include it in my book is that I believe in the veracity of my source," she said. "I've worked with him now for two years."

Mr. X is a man with impeccable credentials and a storied career, she told us: He'd devoted his adult life to serving the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), much of it as an engineer for defense contractor EG&G. "I've examined his Atomic Energy Commission awards and certificates," she said. "I examined his war record, his military records, his medical records."

She wouldn't tell us his name, of course. She'd promised to stay mum about his identity and those of the four now-deceased engineers with whom he'd worked. Jacobsen said she realized that using an unnamed source had earned her some skepticism, but argued it was "part of journalism, historically."

Skepticism or no, Jacobsen's book was enjoying a lot of friendly press at the time. Within a few days of our conversation, the hosts of CNN's American Morning said they "couldn't put it down" and found it "riveting." MSNBC's MorningJoe heralded the book's runaway sales. The New York Times praised Jacobsen's "dogged devotion to her research" and called the Roswell passages "a hasty-sounding addendum to an otherwise straightforward investigative book about aviation and military history."

But the tide turned. On May 26, when Jacobsen appeared on ABC's Nightline, reporter Bill Weir challenged her Soviet saucer tale, asking, "How can you believe this?" He requested to meet her unnamed source, and did so. Weir reported that he was as esteemed as Jacobsen had described, but Weir opted to keep the man's name and image off the air because he'd seemed "confused."

Meanwhile, speculation about the identity of Jacobsen's source proliferated on the Web. Well, actually, on dozens of websites. The man in question figures prominently in Jacobsen's book, and, indeed, the details she put down about him jibe with her descriptions of Mr. X to us and to others. So we phoned his home. His wife answered. Upon hearing what we wanted, she referred us to a publicist at Little, Brown and Company, Area 51's publisher. She then said that her husband was in the hospital after suffering a fall, and that she'd take our number to him. "I doubt if he'll talk," she said. "Everybody says he's the man, but he'll say he's not."

"Is he?" we asked.

"No, no, I believe that he's not," she said. "This whole thing has just got out of hand." He never called, and our subsequent attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful.

When we spoke to Jacobsen again in early June, we mentioned that Mr. X's name had been bandied about on the Internet. "I imagine there's a zillion websites that are speculating about who my source might be," she said, "but I have no idea. I don't read them, and I don't know about any of that."

We asked whether it had occurred to her, while talking with her source, that his story had some problems. "If I ever had a question like that of the source, I asked him," she replied.

We asked whether she'd come to harbor any misgivings about his account since. "I believe that what the source told me is true, to him," she replied. "In other words, everything that he told me, I believe in his veracity as an individual."

Her book's endnotes, she reminded us, did raise "the possibility that perhaps some of the information that he was told could have been misinformation." Her source didn't think so, however, and was "surprised and upset by the idea that no one believes this," she said.
