  • An inspiring 24-minute exploration of the synergies of technology and human curiosity that power the world's most productive radio telescope. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster (star of the film "Contact," which was based on the novel by Carl Sagan and filmed at the VLA), the program depicts many of the people whose diverse efforts enable the VLA to be a cutting-edge resource for astronomers and humanity worldwide. Winner of a 2014 Cine Golden Eagle Award, 2014 Interpretive Media Award from the National Association for Interpretation, and a 2014 Bronze Telly Award. For more information about the visiting VLA, go to public.nrao.edu. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

      The Australian/South African array has a longer baseline which gives it a higher resolution. I don't know if it has a higher sensitivity though. The Jansky VLA has been paired with other radio telescopes to form the VLBA, producing the highest resolution images possible.

    "I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination." J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI
    The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam." Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program.
    "A few insiders know the truth...and are studying the bodies that have been discovered." -Dr. Edwin Mitchell Apollo 14..the 6th NASA employee to walk on the Moon.
    "Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.” CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955.
    "It's still #classified above Top Secret." - Senator Barry Goldwater, 1975
    “Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960.
    “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” -William Casey, CIA director, 1981
    “Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion, so the truth doesn’t come out. ” ― Edgar D. Mitchell, The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical World
    AFFIDAVIT (1) My name is Thomas Jefferson Dubose (2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX (3) I retired from the U.S. Air force in 1959 with the rank of Brigadier General. (4) In July 1947, I was stationed at Fort Worth Army Airfield [later Carswell Air Force Base] in Fort Worth, Texas. I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey, Commander, Eighth Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel. (5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command. He asked what we knew about the object which had been recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the Roswell Army Air Field, and directed him to send the material in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed Maj. Gen. McMullen. (6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material, I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen. McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted under the strictest secrecy. (7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen. Ramey’s office was a weather balloon. The weather balloon explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the attention of the press. (8) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make this statement, which is the truth to the best of my recollection. Signed: T. J. Dubose Date: 9/16/91 Signature witnessed by: Linda R. Split Notary Public, State of Florida
    "There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself. “ - Daniel Inouye Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition (Iran-Contra hearings) (1987)
    Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
    MEANINGFUL congressional hearings, ala the Watergate hearings, including aerospace/defense contractors and Vice Admiral Thomas R. Wilson must be held to address a vital issue that transcends politics, and we will never properly advance until it happens: The 75+yr ongoing-constitutionally illegal, EXTRATERRESTRIAL cover-up. How can we truly believe anything our elected officials say? The dog n pony shows must cease.

      @@Dodgevair What most people fail to realize is that the concept of UFO's are such bad ideas as to be unthinkable by any civilization able to do it. Physics would seem to rule out faster than light travel for anything with mass; so until that's demonstrated wrong, it's established science. Without FTL speeds, it makes no sense to spends thousands of years traversing empty space just to crash in the middle of nowhere or just abduct people in the middle of the night. Plus, when those ships would have had to have left their home systems, there was no Human civilization that would have drawn their interest. Probably not even Human beings.
      Popular culture would have it that ET's are able to pop over in hours, easy-peasy. The facts of the matter are very different, but people are not aware of the science involved. Even the tried and tested trope of invading Earth for our water is nonsense. Europa probably has more water (locked up as ice) than Earth does. Why bother trying to invade a planet and risk yourself when you can just cut up and transport an icy world (across billions of miles for tens of thousands of years). At any rate, water has been proven to be very common in the Cosmos, so why bother coming at all?

    The heavens declare the Glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork.
    When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
    Psalm 8:3‭-‬4
    who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea; who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south; who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number.
    Job 9:7‭-‬10
    He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. The Lord lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground.
    Psalm 147:3‭-‬6
    Give thanks to the Lord all ye people! For it is He and He alone that gives to every one of us our very life and breath.
    When you see the unfathomable size of the created universe and consider the vast number of stars and galaxies, remember that we, mankind, are the capstone of His creation. Christ the Holy Son of the Father, who is very God of very God and who made all that we see, humbled himself and took on flesh and became one of us. Why? To redeem a people of His own and dwell with them forever. This is the whole purpose and meaning of everything.

      Genesis 1:3. Light created (Day 1)
      Genesis 1:14 Sun created (Day4)
      How could there be light before the sun? Oh wait, apologist say god was light, but in that case god didn't created light in Gen 1:3. The light was always there.
      So why did god need to create the sun?
      Leviticus 11:6 Says the rabbit chews cud.
      The rabbit has a completely different digestive system from Bovine. It does not chew cud (a regergitation). It eats it own fecal matter.
      Eating fecal matter is called "coprophagia", not rumination.
      Leviticus 11:19 describes the bat as a bird. The bat is a mamal, not a bird.
      Leviticus 11:23 Says you may not eat of 4 leg insects. Insects have 6 legs (by definition).
      Isaiah 11:12. Four corners of the earth. Really, the earth has four corners? I've never seen that on any pictures of the earth taken from space.
      Apologist like to point out north, south, east, and west. Please point out north, south, east, and west to me on a sphere.
      From Joshua 10:12-15
      12) On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
      “Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
      and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
      13) So the sun stood still,
      and the moon stopped,
      till the nation avenged itself on[a] its enemies,
      as it is written in the Book of Jashar.
      The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
      14) There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!
      15) Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
      There is no actual evidence that the sun stood still. There was a claim that a computer tech showed NASA about the long day. This person had a very limited connection to NASA and only comes from the computer tech who uses the claim in his ministry. No confirmation from NASA.
      Judges 1:19
      And the lord was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain, because they had chariots of iron. (RSV)
      Well, there goes tha "all powerfull" idea.
      Luke 1:1-4, the writer admits he wasn't an eyewitness, but retelling what others told him. Unless we can examine Luke's source material, the gospel of Luke can only be taken as hersay.
      How did Judas die
      Matthew 27:5
      And he [Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
      Acts 1:18
      Now this man [Judas] purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
      If Judas hung himself then burst open, he must have already been dead when he it the ground.
      If he hung himself the fell "headlong" on the field, he would have had to turn 180 degrees down. If he was dead he would have fallen feet first.
      He could NOT have thrown the money in the temple then used it to buy the field, later. I know that some apologists like to "claim" that the temple priests took the money and bought the field. But that's not how chain of custody works. Judas abandoned the money, giving it up.
      So...
      Therefore there are errors in the bible, therefore NOT inerrant, therefore NOT the word of god...QED...
