Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In my home region, I saw a silent orange sphere. Out of the sphere came a kind of device like a flat plate. I couldn't understand it. Then the contraption rose higher and entered a sort of giant sphere. It disappeared immediately." "I worked for an oil company in Port-Gentil. I know that people saw strange lights above the oil platforms." "We have to be aware that UFOs and aliens are science fiction for us. And perhaps our spirituality lacks the height to analyse that." "There's an old Myènè legend about the man who left with an iron bird. " "What seems strange, bizarre, even frightening, no one will talk about. [...] You mustn't say things, otherwise it's bad luck." How can we deal with the subject of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) in French-speaking Africa? By asking Africans. Some of them have a lot to say and share. Jann Halexander, a singer-songwriter from Libreville, Gabon, interviewed Gabonese and Congolese citizens about their perceptions of UFOs and extraterrestrials. This is a subject that is increasingly present on the international scene, particularly since the sworn statements made to the US Congress by veteran whistleblower David Grusch on 26 July 2023, who claimed that the United States was in possession of non-human technological material. In this book, made up of ten interviews and around fifteen personal accounts, Jann Halexander takes stock of the situation: how do Gabonese and Congolese societies view this issue in 2023? How do they analyse it? As the pages turn, the reader learns that the complex UFO issue is not just a matter for the United States or Europe. Jann Halexander, born on 13 September 1982 in Libreville, is a major figure in the French-speaking world. He celebrated twenty years in the music business on 30 March 2023 in a Paris venue. His songs include C'était à Port-Gentil, Le poisson dans mon assiette and Rester par habitude, as well as several novels, including La Bête Immonde and Nuit à Hogsback. A former geography student with a major in regional planning, he is the author of a dissertation entitled Effets de l'apartheid sur l'aménagement d'une ville moyenne sud-africaine durant la période 1948-1991 (Effects of apartheid on the planning of a medium-sized South African town during the period 1948-1991), submitted in 2004 to the geography department of the University of Angers. Through his writings, whatever their nature, Jann Halexander regularly explores themes that go against the grain.

Download or read book Ancient Aliens written by Philip Coppens and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient civilizations generated many innovations that are difficult to explain, such as the remarkable mathematical accuracy of the pyramids of Giza, the man-made fertile soil of the Amazon known as terra preta, and massive stone monuments too heavy to move in Peru and Lebanon, among other places. Given that modern science cannot explain these mysterious phenomena, one theory holds that ancient aliens were responsible for them. This volume examines the credibility of various paranormal hypotheses, giving readers the opportunity to explore the greatest puzzles of antiquity.
Download or read book Phases of Conflict in Africa written by Rose Marie Kadende and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on a workshop on "War and Peace in Contemporary Africa" organized and hosted by the African Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania on January 31, 2003. At this workshop were panels dedicated to conflict in central, west, and the horn of Africa, along with a keynote address on "Africa in the War on Terrorism", which stimulated substantial (and contentious) debate. The contributions included in this collection revolve around the central and west African regional conflict zones discussed at the workshop, along with two essays that provide divergent perspectives on Africa's role in the "war on terrorism" emanating from the September 11 attacks. The articles are organized chronologically according to the phases of conflict. They provide valuable insight into the complexities of the processes of conflict, which often follow similar trajectories, but vary in time and space. Undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and teachers will benefit from the analytical roadmap, which serves to situate different cases in a common context while providing the conceptual space for divergent methodological approaches and ideological assumptions. This roadmap reinforces the notion that conflicts are complex processes that need to be understood and resolved based on their scope and content.
Download or read book The Sirius Mystery written by Robert Temple and published by Random House. This book was released on 1999 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most academically credible case for alien visitation. Is the existance of civilisation on earth the result of contact from inhabitants of a planet in the system of the star Sirius prior to 3000BC? There are tribal cultures in present-day Africa whose most sacred and secret and traditions are based on this theory. Central to their cosmology is a body of knowledge concerning the system of the star Sirius that is astounding it in its accuracy of detail, including specific information only recently accessible to modern science. Robert Temple traces the traditions of the Dogon and three related tribes back 5, 000 years to the ancient Mediterranean cultures of Sumer and Egypt. He shows a knowledge dependent on physics and astrophysics, which they claimed was imported to them by visitors from Sirius.
Download or read book Beyond UFOs written by Jeffrey Bennett and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quest for extraterrestrial life doesn't happen only in science fiction. This book describes the startling discoveries being made in the very real science of astrobiology, an intriguing new field that blends astronomy, biology, and geology to explore the possibility of life on other planets. Jeffrey Bennett takes readers beyond UFOs to discuss some of the tantalizing questions astrobiologists grapple with every day: What is life and how does it begin? What makes a planet or moon habitable? Is there life on Mars or elsewhere in the solar system? How can life be recognized on distant worlds? Is it likely to be microbial, more biologically complex--or even intelligent? What would such a discovery mean for life here on Earth? Come along on this scientific adventure and learn the astonishing implications of discoveries made in this field for the future of the human race. Bennett, who believes that "science is a way of helping people come to agreement," explains how the search for extraterrestrial life can help bridge the divide that sometimes exists between science and religion, defuse public rancor over the teaching of evolution, and quiet the debate over global warming. He likens humanity today to a troubled adolescent teetering on the edge between self-destruction and a future of virtually limitless possibilities. Beyond UFOs shows why the very quest to find alien life can help us to grow up as a species and chart a course for the stars. In a new afterword, Bennett shares the most recent developments in extrasolar research, and discusses how they might further our quest to find alien life.

Download or read book Mistaking Africa written by Curtis Keim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many in the west, the mention of Africa immediately conjures up images of safaris, ferocious animals, sparsely dressed "tribesmen," and impenetrable jungles. Newspaper headlines rarely touch on Africa, but when they do, they often mention authoritarian rule, corruption, genocide, devastating illnesses, or civil war. Advertising, movies, amusement parks, cartoons, and many other corners of society all convey strong mental images of the continent that together form a collective consciousness. Few think to question these perceptions or how they came to be so deeply lodged in western minds. Mistaking Africa looks at the historical evolution of this mind-set and examines the role that popular media plays in its creation. The authors address the most prevalent myths and preconceptions and demonstrate how these prevent a true understanding of the enormously diverse peoples and cultures of Africa. Updated throughout, the fifth edition considers images of Africa from across the world and provides new analysis of what Africans are doing themselves to rewrite the stories of their continent, particularly through social and digital media. Mistaking Africa is an important book for African studies courses and for anyone interested in unraveling misperceptions about the continent.
