Area 51 lokasi paling rahsia AS

Kawasan ini lah yang banyak menghasilkan propaganda A.S dan juga eksperimen rahsia mereka. Antara seperti mana projek Skunk Works untuk ujian Lockheed Martin's Advanced Development Programs. Penerbangan ujian bagi U-2, SR-71, F-117, dan F-22.

Ia juga merupakan dipercayai tempat pengambaran krew Appolo 11 dalam misi menjejak di bulan.

Area 51 lokasi paling rahsia AS

Oleh Nasron Sira Rahim
nasron@bharian.com.my

KAWASAN di luar Area 51 yang terletak di Nevada, Amerika Syarikat.

Setakat ini tiada bukti untuk menyokong dakwaan kawasan berkenaan dijadikan pusat kajian mengenai UFO, ujian senjata canggih

PADA 1989, Bob Lazar dalam satu temuramah televisyen yang disiarkan Stesen Penyiaran Las Vegas, mendakwa yang dia pernah menjalankan satu tugasan berkaitan 'kapal angkasa makhluk asing' atau UFO yang ditempatkan di Tasik Papoose, Selatan Area 51, Nevada, Amerika Syarikat (AS).

Sejak dakwaan Lazer itu, Area 51 mula menjadi lokasi misteri yang terkenal di kalangan ramai pihak terutama pengkaji makhluk asing dan UFO.

Mereka percaya kononnya di situlah wujudnya satu markas makmal penyelidikan milik Kerajaan AS bagi mengkaji kapal angkasa dan makhluk asing yang terhempas ke bumi.

Teori konspirasi itu berlarutan sehingga kini berikutan tiada siapa yang dapat mengesahkan dakwaan Lazer itu selain tiada siapa yang mampu tampil bersama bukti mengenai aktiviti misteri yang dilakukan di lokasi rahsia itu.

Area 51 sebelum itu lebih dikenali sebagai Pusat Penyelidikan dan Ujian Penerbangan Tentera Udara AS dan digunakan sebagai pusat pembangunan dan ujian bagi menghasilkan pesawat tempur canggih untuk negara terbabit.

Ia adalah antara lokasi paling rahsia di AS dan terletak di sebuah daerah terasing di selatan Nevada di mana penduduk tidak dibenarkan memasuki, menghampiri malah mengambil gambar di kawasan berkenaan atau mereka akan didakwa mengikut Seksyen 21, Akta Rahsia Rasmi 1950 (50 USC 797).

Bagaimanapun, aktiviti rahsia serta penyelidikan sulit berhubung pembinaan pesawat tempur selain beberapa laporan kononnya berlaku pelbagai fenomena aneh dan luar biasa di kawasan itu semakin menimbulkan curiga di kalangan ramai pihak.

Ia sekali gus mencetuskan prasangka di kalangan penyelidik ‘UFOlogy’ mengenai kemungkinan Kerajaan AS sudah berjaya menangkap makhluk asing dan merampas kapal angkasa mereka yang terhempas.

Mengikut teori konspirasi itu lagi, pihak kerajaan terbabit kini sedang melakukan pelbagai uji kaji terhadap makhluk itu serta mengkaji teknologi kapal angkasa mereka di Area 51, akan tetapi, Kerajaan AS didakwa cuba merahsiakan penemuan penting itu daripada semua pihak.

Penyelidik juga percaya yang makhluk asing serta UFO yang terhempas di Roswell, New Mexico, pada Julai 1947 juga ditempatkan di Area 51 untuk kajian lanjut.

Misteri mengenai kegiatan rahsia di lokasi sulit itu semakin menarik minat ramai pihak sehingga timbul pelbagai khabar angin antaranya:

Di lokasi itulah kerajaan AS didakwa menyimpan, menyelidik dan melakukan proses ‘keterbalikan kejuruteraan’ terhadap kapal angkasa makhluk asing bagi membolehkan mereka membina pesawat tempur canggih berasaskan teknologi UFO yang mereka temui.

Antara teknologi yang didakwa berjaya dibangun saintis dan penyelidik AS berasaskan penyelidikan terhadap kapal angkasa itu ialah penghasilan pesawat luar biasa dalam Program Aurora.

Kerajaan AS juga didakwa mengadakan kaji selidik dalam pelbagai bidang sains dan sosial terhadap makhluk asing yang ditemui sama ada hidup atau sudah mati malah mereka mungkin sudah mengadakan perhubungan dengan tamadun makhluk asing di angkasa.

Di lokasi Area 51 itu, penyelidik dan saintis didakwa sedang melakukan penyelidikan dan pembangunan senjata berasaskan tenaga alam seperti kawalan cuaca terhadap ribut, puting beliung atau gempa bumi.

Dakwaan yang lebih menggemparkan kononnya di lokasi rahsia itu saintis dan penyelidik sedang membina teknologi mesin merentas masa.

Segala penyelidikan dan aktiviti sulit di Area 51 didakwa berkait rapat dengan satu pertubuhan rahsia dikenali ‘Majestic 12’ yang ditubuhkan pada 1947 untuk menyiasat segala aktiviti berkaitan dengan UFO dan makhluk asing.

Pertubuhan rahsia yang anggotanya terdiri daripada sekumpulan saintis, ketua tentera, pegawai tinggi kerajaan AS itu ditubuhkan atas arahan eksekutif daripada Presiden AS ketika itu, Harry S Truman.

Mengenai lokasi makmal rahsia di Area 51 pula, ada khabar angin kononnya ia dibina di bawah tanah dan di dalam Tasik Papoose.

Kononnya di bawah permukaan muka bumi kawasan gurun itu, ada satu kompleks teramat besar yang dihubungkan dengan jalinan jalan raya bawah tanah selain wujudnya lapangan terbang khas yang hanya muncul apabila tasik berkenaan terbelah.

Bagaimanapun, pihak Tentera Udara AS menafikan kewujudan ‘Area 51’ sebagai satu daripada tapak operasi yang berada di bawah kawalan mereka.

Bagaimanapun, misteri berhubung lokasi itu semakin membingungkan apabila pada Julai 1996, seorang pemanggil rancangan radio ‘Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM’ yang menggelarkan dirinya sebagai ‘Victor’ mendakwa dia memiliki pita video yang menyiarkan proses soal siasat pegawai tentera dan saintis terhadap makhluk asing yang dilakukan di Area 51. Makhluk asing itu dipercayai berkomunikasi menggunakan telipati.

Victor mendakwa yang dia berjaya membuat salinan daripada rakaman asal milik pihak berkuasa Area 51 dan menyeludup keluar pita video berkenaan dari lokasi sulit terbabit.

Bagaimanapun, sehingga kini, tiada bukti kukuh yang mampu membongkar apa sebenarnya yang terdapat di sebalik lokasi rahsia Area 51.

Mungkin di situ terdapat pesawat angkasa lepas dan jasad makhluk asing; mungkin juga di situ terdapat makmal yang melakukan pelbagai penyelidikan bagi menghasilkan teknologi luar biasa; mungkin di situ juga disembunyikan pelbagai projek rahsia Kerajaan AS atau mungkin di situ hanya terdapat bangunan pejabat bagi operasi biasa tentera AS.

Sehingga kini, aktiviti sebenar di lokasi rahsia Area 51, kekal menjadi misteri. sumber: www.wikipedia.com

INFO: Area 51

Terletak di Nevada, Amerika Syarikat.

Turut dikenali sebagai Dreamland, Watertown Strip, Paradise Ranch, The Farm, The Box, Groom Lake dan juga The Directorate for Development Plans Area.

Menjadi pusat penyelidikan dan ujian penerbangan bagi Tentera Udara AS.

Menjadi popular berikutan dakwaan kononnya makhluk asing dan UFO yang terhempas di bumi disembunyikan untuk dikaji di lokasi itu.

Misteri berhubung lokasi itu banyak disebut dan dijadikan babak dalam filem dan rancangan televisyen antaranya The X-files, CSI, Stargate dan Eureka.

Apakah Yang Polis Tahu Tentang Diri Anda (versi A.S)

Catatan mengenai apa yang polis di Amerika Syarikat boleh tahu. Macam dalam siri drama CSI gitu, tekan aje butang keyboard komputer... terus sahaja boleh dapat maklumat suspek atau mangsa.
Bagaimana pula jika pihak yang berkenaan menyalahguna dan membaca laporan sulit hanya untuk kepentingan peribadi??

What Do the Cops Have on Me?

What turns up when a police officer punches your name into the computer.

By Brad Flora
Posted Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2007, at 5:53 PM ET

---

Drew Peterson, the former Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant suspected of murdering his third and fourth wives, is now also under investigation for police misconduct. New evidence suggests that Peterson used official law-enforcement databases to check up on his fourth wife and her associates before she disappeared. Peterson's attorney says it was common practice for Bolingbrook police to run checks for friends and family, and to run prank names to alleviate boredom. What can the police learn about you from these database queries?
Your name and aliases; your Social Security number; where you live; when you were born; the color of your skin and eyes; any scars, tattoos, or identifying marks; your height, vision, and gender; what kind of car you drive, whether it's a stolen vehicle, and your license and plate numbers; your traffic violation history; your local, state, and federal criminal history; and your fingerprints
Local police gather this information from five main databases. A search of records from the state registration agency (called the "Department of Motor Vehicles" in most places) yields information on your car and to whom it's registered. There's another archive of driver's license records, kept in some states by the DMV and in other states by a separate licensing agency, which has facts on where you live, your driving record, and sometimes a digital copy of your license photo. Outstanding arrest warrants will show up in a third database, and a person's criminal history can be found in either the local police records or the federally operated National Crime Information Center database, which culls from local, state, and federal files. (Some police agencies also subscribe to research tools that are available to the general public, like LexisNexis and credit reporting services.)
Access to the databases works a little differently in every agency. In general, police have unrestricted access to the DMV, driver's license, and warrant databases, as well as the local police records. In some departments, the information can be obtained via Windows-based graphical user interfaces, while other offices still use DOS-like text interfaces. Either way, it works a lot like searching for a book at the library: Officers click a shortcut on their computer desktop to open a window that will let them search by name, license number, date of birth, or Social Security number, and return all matching records.
Looking up a person's federal and state criminal history is more complicated, though this also varies from local agency to agency. In some departments, officers can query the NCIC database directly from their office computers or the mobile data computer in their squad car; in others, officers must submit a formal request to their records department and sign a statement saying it's part of an ongoing investigation—and that the record will be destroyed when the investigation is over.

Jarak Pagar alternatif petrol

Kalau dikomersialkan tentu aje dapat mengurangkan pergantungan petrol. Salah satu perbelanjaan tinggi dalam isi rumah. Kalau kapal terbang 'Zero' Jepun boleh guna, kena tidak sekarang. Mungkin syarikat-syarikat minyaklah yang tak bagi....

Jarak Pagar alternatif petrol

KOTA BHARU 5 Dis. – Biji pokok jarak pagar atau Jatropha Curcas Linn, yang pernah digunakan sebagai bahan bakar untuk pesawat Jepun pada zaman Perang Dunia Kedua, didapati berpotensi untuk dikomersialkan sebagai bahan biodiesel dan biopetrol yang lebih mesra alam.
Pokok jarak pagar, tumbuhan yang biasanya digunakan dalam perubatan tradisional bagi menjarakkan kekerapan kelahiran bayi, juga ditanam sebagai hiasan pagar rumah.
Penolong Pengarah Latihan Lembaga Tembakau Negara Farini Halim berkata, jarak pagar dibawa masuk ke Malaysia pada zaman pemerintahan Portugis pada 1511 dari kepulauan Caribbean dan pernah digunakan sebagai bahan bakar untuk kapal terbang semasa penaklukan Jepun di negara ini antara 1940 dan 1945.
“Walaupun penemuan kegunaannya sudah lama tetapi ia masih belum diperluaskan di negara kita, sedangkan bagi negara maju, mereka telah menggunakan biji jarak pagar yang telah diproses untuk dicampurkan dengan petrol sebanyak lima peratus,” katanya.
Farini berkata, berdasarkan penggunaannya itu yang boleh mengurangkan pengeluaran asap dan menurunkan kandungan karbon monoksida untuk kenderaan, maka LTN kini memperkenalkan tanaman itu di Rhu Tapai, Terengganu dan di Pasir Puteh, Kelantan.
Beliau berkata, pokok jarak pagar ditanam di sekeliling kawasan tanaman tembakau yang membentuk seperti pagar dan ianya menjadi tanaman integrasi kepada penanam-penanam tembakau.
Projek perintis tanaman itu dimulakan pada Oktober 2006. Sebanyak 3,000 pokok itu ditanam di Kampung Air serta 1,000 pokok lagi di Pusat Latihan Tembakau di daerah Pasir Puteh selain 3,000 pokok di Terengganu.
“Banyak kelebihan pokok jarak pagar ini. Ianya mampu hidup selama 25 tahun, penjagaannya mudah, boleh ditanam di kawasan kurang subur seperti kawasan lombong dan batu kapur, dan berbuah sepanjang tahun tanpa ada musim dan bersesuaian dengan cuaca panas dan kawasan kurang air.
Ketinggian pokok itu hanya tiga meter. Ianya memerlukan tujuh bulan untuk pokok menjadi matang serta menghasilkan buah, yang bijinya diproses sebagai bahan api.
Farini berkata, bahawa bilangan pokok itu akan ditambah menjadi 20,000 tahun depan dan 100,000 menjelang 2010.
Beliau berkata, satu hektar tanah boleh ditanam 2,500 pokok manakala setiap sekilogram biji jarak pagar boleh menghasilkan 330 mililiter minyak sebagai bahan api.
Selain bahan bakar, biji jarak pagar juga boleh digunakan sebagai minyak pelincir untuk kenderaan.
“Jika kita benar-benar komersialkan tanaman pokok ini, ianya mungkin menjadi satu alternatif bahan api dan petrol untuk kenderaan, dan membantu kerajaan mengurangkan tanggungan subsidi minyak,” kata Farini.

Pengaruh Syarikat Besar Dlm Monopoli Sesuatu Produk

Catatan di bawah bagaimana syarikat Microsoft Corp cuba mematikan perkembangan pengaruh operating system bukan Windows seperti Linux dari menguasai pasaran konsumer biasa. Menggunakan wang dan kuasa dalam mematikan persaingan sihat.

ASUS: We'll Sell 3.8 Million Eees in 2008, Some with Windows

Microsoft and Intel are in talks with ASUS about a stripped down version of the Eee PC

As if users needed another reason to endorse the ASUS Eee PC, it looks like Intel and Microsoft may both embrace the project with open arms.

One ASUS employee close to the project, speaking on terms of anonymity added, "Originally, we used Linux to save on the cost. However, after the launch, Microsoft contacted us to offer Windows XP with discount licensing."

The employee was able to confirm the Windows license will be a stripped-down version of Windows XP, specifically designed for emerging markets. This Microsoft-ready Eee PC will carry a premium somewhere between $30 and $60 over the base cost of the system.

The company already supports "unofficial" installs of Windows XP on existing Eee PCs.

ASUS is not shy with its ambitions for Eee PC in 2008. In a memo circulated to Eee PC team members at ASUS Headquarters, project leaders boldly declared the company plans to ship 3.8 million Eees for its next fiscal year. By contrast, the OLPC project has committed to 425,000 notebooks for all of 2007.

The company has not revealed its sales numbers for 2007 yet. However, things must be looking pretty good at ASUS as the project has also garnered much attention from Intel.

Intel, which announced its Classmate PC reference design in 2006, internally proclaims the ASUS Eee PC the greatest success of the Classmate project. The Eee, which is quickly becoming the darkhorse of the affordable sub-notebook market, uses Intel processors; MIT's OLPC project uses AMD Geode processors.
