However, the term harbinger can be equally applied to people such as the solid fuel booster engineers at Morton Thiokol who warned NASA not to launch the Challenger shuttle in below freezing weather. In this example, the solid fuel booster engineers at Morton Thiokol were looking 8 car lengths ahead, whereas the final launch decision was made by NASA managers who were only interested in looking at the road directly in front of them. They are trying to warn us that there is a long-standing and massive effort by certain elements of our government to suppress information vital information regarding extraterrestrials. They further allege that this effort is denying us access to the scientific knowledge we so desperately need to restore the natural balance of our biosphere. Before we dismiss the claims these people, who include astronauts and former government and military personnel with the highest possible security, we should first ask ourselves one simple question.
History is full of examples of unheeded harbingers.
For example, Adolph Hitler was his own best harbinger of doom when he wrote Mein Kampf, yet the world chose to look directly at the road ahead. If the world leaders had bothered to look 8 cars ahead, they would read Hitler s intent in Mein Kampf, and would have moved to quash Nazi Germany s aggressive pre-war rearmament program. But moving forward to the ancient prophecies that warn us of us calamitous possibilities in our own times, we see a consistent pattern that forms throughout virtually non-secular and secular prophecy alike. In essence, what they are asking us to do is to look up from the road ahead, and to see what is happening 8 car lengths in front of us. We can only avoid it by taking action.
