Aliens in the outback?

Hello

I'm a new reader here, really been churning through the back logs on the forums, foremost I am a skeptic, but with an open enough mind to accept that all of this can't be total coincedence, its just a matter of working out what really is.

Anyway this has just hit the news stands today here in Australia and reading between the lines, the Australia government has just admitted more or less the existence of Aliens in our nation.

Whether it was a miscommunication by the press or not is another story.

Although this article was posted on the 12th as far as I know its news as the tv networks have only just picked up on it.

Hi, nationalmaverick, thanks for sharing and welcome to ATS:

The title of the article is extremely speculative, while its content clarifies it all, IMHO:

www.news.com.au...

the substance is that of course he can't rule out the presence of aliens in the desert park, as well as i can't rule out that Putin is a Reptilian shape-shifter, since i really can't prove the contrary: Jay Weatherill's tone sounds sarcastic to me The rest looks to be speculations based on claims made on a discussion forum, unless i'm missing something. I've checked the discussion in question and yet I don't know whether someone provided some corroborating evidence supporting the claim of some alien presence.
BTW, I find it strange that they quote comments from a discussion forum, i wonder what would they would be able to do if they'd come accross ATS
Here's an article about it, from Reuters

Desert park closed to stop summer deaths

www.reuters.com...
www.environment.sa.gov.au...
I think that sadly there's a weighty situation, and that the decision has some more mundane (and sad) explanation, but hey, i could be wrong.
Did you check the thread in the forum in question? Did you find anything interesting?
Thanks again for sharing

Kevin07, Australia's Prime Tourist is a Alien, he came from the planet: Uranus. Sorry Mod, what I said is a Australian Joke. Because Kevin07 is full of poo. What has this post got to do with this thread? "ALIENS"...Kevin07 is a Alien, he came from the planet Uranus.

Funny story, it does sound like it was said tongue in cheek.

Maybe the should close off the Tanami desert, lot's of sightings up that way

so they are closing a desert that hasn't taken a life for many many years, in fact in all my 42 years I have never heard of a death in the simpson desert from people becoming stranded.

Just one more nail in the coffin for freedom

I feel safer already. Indeed something fishy is going on, maybe some test shots from Harold Holt facility this summer.

As an Aussie this does come as quite a suprised. As far as I am concerned I have never in my whole entire life EVER heard of one of our deserts being closed. It is extremely strange since the temperatiures they quote are nothing out of the ordinary for that part of Australia and with Australia being one of the world's UFO hotspots this does have an air of suspicion over it. Unbeknown to much of the world, Australia has UFO sightings on a daily basis and it would not suprise me one iota if there is indeed a downed craft somewhere out in the desert. Its a massive place and many things can go unnoticed due to its isolation.

It is pretty fishy, I know people who trek out there every year in the harshest of summers and they have no idea what the motivation could be.

In fact they and 20 others in their group have had to reroute their entire trip now, when contacting the authorities they were given one word answers and told no flexibility is possible even for very experienced bushmen.

Meh. Apart from the excellent Kevin07 post I feel this has little to do with aliens. Unfortunately all this does is highlight the humour which politicians hold this subject.

2 words: Pine Gap.


The reasoning behind closing the entire National Park/desert off seems a little too thin for me. Perhaps it could be some sort of secret military testing going on during those times, or perhaps something more sinister

Never before have I heard of the Simpson Desert being closed for the summer.

I'll do some digging, I discharged from the Army in August - talk to some mates and see if they know what's going on up that way.

I reckon the closure is probably more to keep out overseas tourists that underestimate the size of the desert. Think about it for a second, how would they police 176,500 square km's of desert? They can't...

Like I said, it's to keep the clueless out.

I'm not buying this, how many more people are killed on our beaches during the summer then the simpson desert for chirst's sake ?!?. Those aren't closed! I realy can't remeber the last time I heard of someone becoming stranded and dieing in the simpson desert. I my opinion if the government is going way too far on this one if that is the 'real' reason.

Seems they're making it known over in the UK:
The Guardian
Times online

Seems they plan on closing it every year, so unless these big scary aliens only turn up between December to March, I doubt there's much to it.
Even a 4wd tour operator avoids that area during summer.

Oh and to the Kevin Rudd bashers, if you had read properly you would find it was the South Australian department of environment and heritage that has closed the desert. NOT the Federal Government.

I did the Canning Stock route back in 98 and had a wonderful time and what a wonderful country we have, not that not many Aussies will ever see BUT any one with a brain would know you don't go to the desert when it's 40+

But what gets me why say from December 1 to March 15, Why not the end of march?

It should be from October to April

I don't think it's any thing to do with ufo's Just some pen pusher trying to save some one's life and save money

I don't think its the 'aliens' turning up, more like military testing.

But this really dosen't make any sense how many lives do they plan to save? This article outlines the causes of tourists deaths from 97-2000.
www.multilingual-matters.net...

As you can see by far and away the main cause of death was 'land transport accidents' followed by 'drowning'. Dehydration does not even have a section, but even if ALL the deaths in the 'other causes' section were idiots who killed themselves in the simpson desert it would still be a major minority of tourist deaths.

So I ask it again if the real reason is saving tourists lives then why not close the beaches, unless thats not the real reason.

Considering what this will do to tourist operators, suppliers and recreational equipment hire companies in the area over the Xmas holidays, without real statistics to back up the closure, the only other option that makes sense to me is a national security interest, IMO a desert makes for a good Live Fire test area. You dont need to close off en ENTIRE REGION of Australia for a crash retrieval, its remote enough that a crash retrieval team could be in and out with minimal detection.

I'd be watching for seismic events(impacts) from the area over this time of closure.

The problem with that theory is THIS place.

Joint Defence Facility Nurrungar (JDFN)



One of the uses of this are?

Missile testing!

If you want to test conventional weapons, theres more areas available than just Woomera. Port Wakefield also has a live fire range for example, almost 1/4 of South Australia is military land. Besides I dont think Nurrungar is even active anymore.

However, if you are testing a non conventional classified weapons system, perhaps one using high energy physics, perhaps a spaced based or the suspected one located at exmouth(Harold Holt), you are going to use Pine Gap for tracking it. Chances are your ground observers are going to be deployed from there also. Simpson is a perfect candidate due to its proximity, remoteness and location(Pine Gap sits directly under a trajectory between exmouth and simpson).

This also wouldnt be the first time something similar to this has been suspected to have occured. Bright Skies

As you said though, this is only a theory. Politicians may just be this stupid to think they are performing public service. Just as likely, my ass may grow wings and fly around the room.

with global warming we may find that all of Australia gets closed off in summer due to the heat.
