UFOS THAT REFUSE TO GO AWAY

Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the Ministry of Defence

Sunday August 19,2012

By Marco Giannangeli

A LEADING UFO expert yesterday admitted there may be as many as 12 genuine sightings every year in British skies.

Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the Ministry of Defence, confirmed that some of the 200-300 sightings reported every year were a genuine mystery.

It followed Richard Deakin, head of British Air Traffic Control, saying that on average one unexplained UFO is reported from control towers every month.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today yesterday, Pope said: “Most of the reports turned out to be misidentification of aircraft lights, weather balloons, meteors and satellites.

“It did leave us with one or two a month we found genuinely quite interesting.

“Of course, our mindset is it’s probably more likely to be Russian than Martian.”

In special reports, this weeks files cover: Hellenkoetter Truth about UFOs. UFO crash investigator: Leonard Stringfield's research goes public, UFO Disclosure May Be Imminent, Mars, Obama says, Let me know if you see Martians," and Army Spy ship

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Australia, Italy, Macedonia, New Zealand, and England in the United Kingdom.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Hellenkoetter Truth about UFOs

First CIA Director Rear Admiral Hillenkoetter, who was in on the entire study of Unidentified Flying Objects

From the very beginning, stated in his opinion in 1960 that:

"THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW. It is time for the truth to be brought out in open Congressional hearings... through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense."

UFO crash investigator: Leonard Stringfield's research goes public

MUFON Executive Director David MacDonald made a tremendously important announcement at MUFONs Annual Symposium. This is a "blockbuster announcement concerning UFO discoveries." Stringfield (1920-1994) was an American Ufologist who worked with government and private agencies to track UFO reports and had a special interest in reports of crashed objects. Stringfield was the most knowledgeable researcher I ever had the pleasure of meeting at his home. We talked on the phone frequently. Dave announced that sixty volumes of "meticulous  UFO research over 30 years" by the late Ufologist Leonard H. Stringfield were donated to the MUFON and will be available to researchers. Leonard had numerous contacts at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and other important facilities and obtained invaluable data not available to 99.999 per cent of the military or intelligence agencies.

Photo of Leonard Stringfield (1920-1994) and your editor. He was an American Ufologist who took particular interest in crashed flying saucer stories. His contacts in the medical field gave him the first descriptions of the alien bodies allegedly recovered at Roswell or elsewhere. ^[1]

Stringfield's interest in the subject began August 28, 1945, just three days before the end of the war, when he was an Army Air Force intelligence officer en route to Tokyo, Japan, along with twelve other specialists in the Fifth Air Force. As they approached Iwo Jima at about ten thousand feet in a sunlit sky, Stringfield related:

"I was shocked to see three teardrop-shaped objects from my starboard-side window. They were brilliantly white, like burning magnesium, and closing in on a parallel course to our C-46. Suddenly our left engine feathered, and I was later to learn that the magnetic navigation-instrument needles went wild. As the C-46 lost altitude, with oil spurting from the troubled engine, the pilot sounded an alert; crew and passengers were told to prepare for a ditch! My last glimpse of the three bogies was above the transport flying in tight formation as they faded into a cloud bank. Instantly our craft's engine revved up, and we picked up altitude and flew a steady course to land safely at Iwo Jima."

In 1950, two very sincere people related flying saucer sightings to him. Stringfield then wrote: "`

Uneasy about the "rumored loss of Air Force interceptors chasing UFOs, the low-level green fireballs over Sweden and the Southwestern United States" and his own experience, Stringfield related he was concerned about the "intent" behind the probes.

In March 1954, he created Civilian Research, Interplanetary Flying Objects (CRIFO), and published a monthly newsletter, ORBIT. Stringfield was a guest of radio newscaster Frank Edwards and was deluged with newspapers, and radio stations wanting saucer news. Stringfield soon had 2500 paid subscribers to ORBIT. During the mid-1950s, CRIFO became the world's largest civilian UFO research group.

Then Stringfield wrote, "Also taking note of CRIFO was the Air Force."Stringfield said the Air Defense Command in Columbus, Ohio called him September 9, 1955, and wanted his cooperation in obtaining immediate sighting reports using his large network of sources. To his surprise, he was also informed that the Ground Observer Corps which was started to help report Soviet bombers and reconnaissance aircraft had been instructed to report UFO activity directly to him for screening. Stringfield who lived in Cincinnati, Ohio was essentially helping defend our country. He was then to call the ADC using a telephone code number ("Fox Trot Kilo 3-0 Blue") to report the better sightings. He was requested "not to ask any questions."

Stringfield obtained data on many of the best sightings. To his surprise, the Air Force cleared his reporting many sightings. Despite the official public denial of his work for the ADC, Stringfield wrote he received a letter in 1956 thanking him for his assistance from no less than Major General John A. Samford, director of Air Force Intelligence shown here Ufologist. He also received a letter in 1955 from Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, shown standing, who was the director of the Air Force's public UFO investigation Project Blue Book from 1951-1953.

Captain Ruppelt praised The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, and the report-collecting net Stringfield had established. Stringfield was provided significant UFO information by various officials who felt the public had a right to know.

Stringfield's relationship with the ADC during this period is recounted in his 1957 book "Inside Saucer Post, 3-0 Blue" and in his 1977 book "Situation Red."The forward was written by Donald Keyhole.

In 1957, Stringfield became public relations adviser for the newly formed civilian UFO group NICAP under the direction of Donald Keyhoe, a friend of his since 1953. He held the post until 1972, at which point he continued his private UFO research.

It was during the 1970s that Stringfield began collecting witness accounts of UFO crash recoveries, including alien bodies. Many of these stories centered on activities at nearby Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio.

Stringfield first publicly reported his "crash/retrieval" findings at the 1978 MUFON Symposium. He said he received two death threats beforehand, but was never sure who was behind them or how serious they were. Thereafter, he self-published seven "Status Reports" on new crash-retrieval research until his death in 1994. From 1967-1969, Stringfield served as an "Early Warning Coordinator" for the so-called Condon Committee, the government sponsored scientific UFO investigation. His job, like his earlier one for the ADC, was to screen and report all UFO activity in southwestern Ohio. He told me he knew heads of state, and actor Jackie Gleason who was taken to Homestead Air Force Base by President Nixon to see aliens.

Also when Grenada Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy proposed the establishment of a UFO research agency within the United Nations in 1978, during the 32nd General Assembly General Assembly of the UN, Stringfield served as his adviser. Sir Eric Gairy claimed a UFO had crashed on the Island of Grenada and he had observed the wreckage and a tall alien body. The United State s was the sole U.N. member nation, which unsuccessfully attempted to block that 1978 UN E.T. resolution. He was disposed by a Communist Government while testifying at the United Nations.

In October of 1983, President Reagan ordered the invasion of Grenada to rescue 800 American students at the U.S.-run St. George's University School of Medicine. Allegedly, part of the reason to attack Grenada was to obtain the crashed UFO and alien bodies. The date of the invasion is now a national holiday in Grenada, cal led Thanksgiving Day, Privately, Stringfield worked as Director of Public Relations and Marketing Services for DuBois Chemicals, a division of Chemed Corporation, Cincinnati. He died December 18, 1994 after a long battle with lung cancer. I spoke to him hours before he died. Leonard was a wonderful man who knew the most about UFOs of any man I ever met. http://en.wikipedia.org/

UFO Disclosure May Be Imminent.

Navy Commander C.B. Scott Jones Ret. claims disclosure is Imminent in Bridges Magazine. A former Naval Intelligence Officer and Senior Staffer to U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell, he allegedly visited China and saw their captured alien craft. From the current issue of  ISSSEEM's Bridges Magazine 2012

That Extra Terrestrial (ET) contact is real is a non-issue for more than half of the worlds nuclear-capable countries but only for a highly select group of people within those countries.

France and the United Kingdom (members of the European Space agency), Russia, China, India, and the United States have placed photo and radar imaging satellites around the moon and have already seen ET bases on its avert side. In New Delhi, I had a very guarded conversation with a government space scientist. The walls of his office had a number of high resolution photographs from Indias lunar satellite, Chandrayaan-1 ("moon vehicle" in Sanskrit). These photographs were from the more than 70,000 three dimensional images taken by the Terrain Mapping Camera. He comfortably deflected my suggestions that India may have learned much more than they had shared with the public.

We are on the brink of challenging the worlds consensus reality.

I believe with high confidence that one specific seminal event will take place in 2012, although the date of this event is not currently known. This is because of the large number of variables associated with it, and the powerful energy focused upon it by groups with opposing desires and intentions. The emotional field that surrounds it is enormous as vested interests compete to achieve their goals. The event will be an unambiguous disclosure that from the most ancient times, and very specifically in the modern era, earth and extraterrestrial cultures have been in intimate contact.

Disclosure will present the world with a great challenge because the opposing interests might take advantage of the cultural mindset that views ETs as a threat to us accompanied by invasion, war, and the end of our planet. Hollywood movies and science fiction books have long presented us with images of disaster in the wake of contact by other beings, images that fuel dangerous assumptions and might initiate harmful action. It has become part of the human predicament that we all too often view the "other," ANY other, as a hostile force that must be defeated.

But the truth is that this contact holds great promise for all of us. Advanced technologies that might solve some of our problems could be supplied by far-advanced civilizations. For example, they might provide us with the means to produce sufficient, sustainable energy that would allow us to stop warring over our diminishing supplies and to give up our reliance on polluting methods for producing power.

A close friend, John Petersen, with high credentials as a bold and rational futurist, (yes, that is an authorized combination) in a forward to the recently published book Infinite Energy Technologies, has written about the vital importance of access to energy: In physical terms, there is no more fundamental and basic influence on the way we live and behave than the availability and form of energy that we use. Every aspect of our lives, food, clothing, shelter and transportation . . . and therefore every derivative activity (work, government, recreation, etc.) changes when the affordable source of energy changes.

The Outer Space Security and Development Treaty of 2012 

Last year, Carol Rosin asked me to join her in creating a treaty designed to keep space free from nuclear weapons. It stated, in part:

The Outer Space Security and Development Treaty of 2012 establishes a framework and procedures to assure that space will be a neutral realm from which all classes of weapons are banned and from which no hostile action shall be taken toward Earth or the surrounding Cosmos.
This Treaty invites Nation States to become Signatories to this Treaty and invites all parties, including Nation States, Indigenous Nations and Cosmic Cultures, to commit to plan and assist in the orderly development and implementation of a framework and procedures that will assure and verify that space is and will remain a neutral realm from which all classes of space-based weapons are banned in perpetuity.

This is followed by very specific reasons for Cosmic Cultures to be involved and the Treaty states that we:

• Acknowledge that we are not alone in the universes, that there are Cosmic Cultures that will be important allies for our security and development, and that our national and  international policies must reflect this reality,
• Acknowledge that from the beginning of nuclear weapons testing, extraterrestrial craft have demonstrated a capability to selectively shut down communications and/or the power of participating operational units, and have appeared over ICBM fields in several countries causing non-destructive failure of dozens of ICBMs taking them out of operational status for days,
• Realize that the demonstrated capability of extraterrestrial cultures from the multiuniverse to neutralize any missile or nuclear capability is in itself not a threat message, but does serve notice of our limited understanding of physics and the clearly dangerous consequences of continuing to use destructive technologies,
• Affirm that the possibility of reclaiming a peaceful future for humankind and a safe environment on Earth is intimately linked with curbing our violence toward each other and Earth, and with preparing to survive as Gaea heals herself, and that counsel and support from Cosmic Civilizations thousands of years our senior would be exceedingly helpful.

This position already has support from a number of powerful nations, and it provided an opportunity to introduce an ET element in a positive way. The ETs have the technology to verify whether any satellite launched from Earth carries a weapon or is associated with targeting or launching a weapon from space. The idea to make Cosmic Cultures parties to the treaty was given as a gentle thought and I credit Monitor, who is channeled by Harvey Grady, for the idea.

Monitor has identified himself as a Pleiadean, a member of an extraterrestrial group willing to communicate with Earth. I regard him as a highly sentient being with interest and concern about the future of planet Earth and all the life it supports. That is the basis of trust in our relationship. My broader ET experiences and relationships span my eighty-three-years and include important contacts with the so-called Grays, both the tall and short types.

When I have presented the treaty to various countries for their consideration, several obvious issues arose. The first, almost predictably concerned evidence of the reality of ETs, and their contact with earth. Closely following that were concerns about trust and true intentions of cultures with such superior technologies.

I consider the inclusion of Cosmic Cultures as parties to the Space Treaty to be an essential component to make the Treaty a viable and verifiable instrument. It also will be more than a small step towards disclosure when the first nation signs the Treaty, and there are other steps being proposed on this path.

It is not reasonable to expect the U.S. to make a disclosure announcement unless forced by the ETs, or until the current policy of silence, denial and disinformation becomes dysfunctional and the U.S. is no longer garnering the profit and power that the current policy supports. Additionally, there is a considerable probability that if the U.S. does make a disclosure announcement, it will be with a threat spin attached. The earth deserves better than this, and I have a short list of countries that I think can do the job. The first two on the list are China and India.

For more than twenty-years I have been in a dialogue with China, urging them to take a lead in disclosure. The last serious discussion I had with a member of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs ended with his comment, "When the United States makes the disclosure announcement, China will be a close second."

Very recently I have passed to China an additional proposal, another gift from the ETs. If China or any other nuclear power is willing to eliminate all weapons of mass destruction in their military inventory, the ETs will provide that country with a nation-wide, non-polluting energy system and security from all threats of attacks by weapons of mass destruction. From a disclosure perspective this weapons for energy and security offer is much more powerful than the space treaty partnership with the ETs. For example, if Pakistan accepted that proposal it would neutralize any nuclear threat from India, and make India much more concerned about what that means vis-a-vis a nuclear deterrence with China. This raises the potential of a cascade of accepting the energy for weapons offer within a region of nuclear power nations.

The ETs are certainly mindful of the multifaceted political, economic social, religious and other consequences of disclosure to Earth. However, it now appears that they are pushing the issue for reasons that are very clear to them, and less so for most humans. A reasonable explanation is that Earth is approaching a cycle of well-known geo-physical events involving massive earthquakes and volcanic activity, and the message is that you are going to need each other in cooperative ways to assure that the Earth experiment is not extinguished.

What has become dangerously irrational and hazardous to our survival is denial of the existence of our extraterrestrial ancestors and their contact with us from the dawn of humanity on Earth. Click HERE to go to the ISSSEEM Bridges Magazine 2012

Mars

Norman Bryden writes, "Will the Mars Curiosity Rover reveal conditions for life on Mars? That's the 2.5 billion-dollar question. Life is shown to have existed on Mars from the data collected by the Mars Global Surveyor. Extraordinary evidence of complex geometry is apparent in the images showing that Mars had been inhabited by intelligent life. The image below shows what appears to be a Martian travel system? The Surveyor photographed a grid pattern approximately 1. 5 km wide."

Considering the condition of some of the structures it's probable that Mars is still inhabited. Communities of buildings and cities are visible. Scientists could work together to inform the world of intelligent life in the universe based on the evidence. If they truly want to know about life in the universe they should acknowledge the cities discovered on Mars. Please consider the research and I wish the best for the current Mars mission.

Obama tells Mars rover's team: Let me know if you see Martians

President Obama has made curious remarks about Curiosity Rover landing on Mars.

"If in fact you do make contact with Martians, please let me know right away," Obama said during the call, which was placed from Air Force One to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "I've got a lot of things on my plate, but I expect that that will go to the top of the list. Even if they're just microbes, it will be pretty exciting."

Obama praised the team for their "mind boggling" accomplishment, noting that landing the rover took "76 pyrotechnics going off in perfect succession and the 500,000 lines of code working exactly the way you guys had ordered them."

He said Curiositys success will help lay the groundwork for a human mission to Mars in the future.

"Somebody asked me the other day whether you've already found Martians," Obama joked. "I told them we have to give you a little bit of time."

Army Spy ship

Spy blimp made its maiden voyage over New Jersey Thursday.

The $517 million hybrid aircraft passed its latest milestone over Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey where the German airship Hindenburg crashed in 1937. Designed by Northrop Grumman, the Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV demonstrated g successful takeoff and landing.

As large as a football field, the blimp uses just ten percent of the fuel used by traditional aircraft and can at a time. The military plans on using the LEMV as a spy vehicle that carries a bevy of electronic surveillance equipment.

It can carry seven tons of cargo. It travels at 30mph, and can travel up to 2,400 miles or hover for three weeks. If all goes smoothly, the blimp is set to enter live trials in Afghanistan in 2013.

Sightings in the United States

Ca lifornia Disc

ROSEVILLE -- On August 4th at approximately 5 pm. took a picture of the clouds and an impending thunderstorm. Reviewed the picture on my phone before downloading to FB and saw it had a UFO on it. I often see UFOs in this same area, surrounding the Roseville Ca. Rail Yard/Fairgrounds. Its bigger than the neighbors dish on their home, going very fast at an angle. You can see it has a green light in the middle and it is electrified with a currant of light around it. It is solid and not a bird or plane. I watch the skies every night and this is a very active area! Hardly a night goes by I dont see something, silent flares, bright light then fade, zigzags, and flashes. A couple days before this at dusk I saw a slow moving hovering craft with a huge slow flashing light on the top with many red and white strobe flashes. I called my son outside and he saw it clearly and said, "Yup its a UFO." He walked back in the house unaffected. It took 20 minutes to move across the sky it was so slows! I was so lucky to get this picture! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Joshua Tree -- I live in Joshua Tree, California and on my way home I saw orange bright lights at 10:19 PM, on August 6, 2012. I thought it was the moon, but as I got closer they were individual lights and bright. I got a few pictures. Once I took the last picture the lights dimmed one by one. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Colorado Cylinder

I took this photo on the July 5, 2012 at 10:36 pm facing east. What you are looking at is a waning moon rising through smoked filled clouds because of all the forest fires here in Colorado. I got more than just the Moon. My wife was with me. I use a tripod mounted camera and a timer delay. Neither of us saw anything when I took this photo. I used a long exposure around 1.5s, so that object had to hang there motionless for the full exposure. All the Best Robert

Note: May be aircraft due to time delay photo.

Florida Triangle

St. Petersburg -- I want to first state that after about 1 minute after seeing the hovering UFO I was starting to doubt myself August 8, 2012, about 10:45 PM. It was almost a plane like object with three lights, but it was longer by a fair bit and way thinner. It then went forward then to the left and was gone shortly after.

The wings were in proportion to the UFO but were far back. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Miami Beach -- I work at Mt. Sinai Hospital and sleep in my car in the employee parking lot, which overlooks the bay. I decided to throw rocks in the water and looked up to see three orbs in the sky forming a triangle. I got my camera, and snapped six pictures. Then my camera went dead. I had just recharged the battery and had only taken about 35 pictures total. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana Orbs

BLANFORD Richard Bondira has been photographing UFOs on clear nights since January 2012.

He sent me dozens of photographs of UFO that he has filmed over the last six months. As many as ten or more UFOs can be seen on some nights. They mostly hover, or maneuver, spin around, or go straight up. They usually come from the southeast heading northwest. Thanks to Richard Bondira

Kentucky Disc

WEST POINT -- I viewed the object over my sky watch camera on August 10, 2012.

It was bright and fast and changed directions fast.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Many UFO Witnesses - Shoots Light Beam

Jackson -- KFVS12 TV news August 12, 2012, reported a mass UFO sighting in Missouri by numerous witnesses.

At first I thought it could be lanterns, but these lights were in a straight line as if attached to something.
The object beamed down light at the witnesses, and Chinese lanterns dont do that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTqMLllXGxY

New Jersey Orange Spheres

West Orange -- My son and I pulled into our driveway at 11:05 pm, on A ugust 4, 2012, and witnessed 10 - 12 orange glowing spheres passing between the townhomes to our right and our building (approximately 80 degrees of sightline)at a slow pace. They did not blink but did appear to pulsate slightly (perhaps due to atmosphere). I can not estimate how far away they were but were the size of a pencil eraser from our vantage point and silent. I was unable to get a photo of the objects. I witnessed two spheres continuing their eastward trek until I lost sight of them. Once we saw the whole "parade" I was thinking UFO as the objects flew out of sight.

Atco -- I was driving my minivan with my boyfriend down this road in a wooded area and saw these bright lights in the sky coming from the same craft on May 17, 2003. We were both pretty scared as we headed toward the craft that was 70 feet off the ground. It had five lights in the front/center of the craft that were pointed straight ahead. It was flying slowly. The lights changed direction and pointed directly up into the sky as the craft followed suit and zoomed up. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

NEW YORK CITY

Caught flashing UFO before aerosol haze drift. Spray planes moved in on sighting location within minutes.

Eugene -- I noticed while reviewing photos. Object top photo toward the right on May 15, 2012

Thanks to MUFON CMS

On August 8th, 2012, at 2:30 am while going to sleep my eyes caught notice of a bright twinkling light in the sky. It changed colors and brightness similar to a diamond shines when you rotate it under a light. Sometimes it seemed that the lights followed a line and other times the lights were more bundled together. Predominant colors were white and red/pink. There was no rhythm to the flashing. It was quite a distance away, but bigger than any star in the sky, but small enough that I could cover it with an aspirin.
It just kind of bumbled around in an area I could cover with quarter. The movement was irregular and sometimes jarring. Thanks to MUFON CMS

I noticed this object while coming home from work on August 8, 2012. It appeared to be a disco ball or Kaleidoscope of colors. No start or stop to the colors, just a more or less melting of rainbow colors. It was

NE and didnt blink, but blur from color to color. It was very detailed using my weakest eye piece that is a tad more powerful than 10 x 50 binoculars. There is another one nightly that is NW same altitude and appearance. Thanks to MUFON CMS

ERIE -- I went outside to watch the ISS go overhead and take some photographs. About 2 minutes before it showed up, I spotted the UFO. It was equilateral triangular shaped, with small white lights at each of the corners and a larger red light in the center. As it passed, I heard a jet engine noise from the craft. 

I did not spot anything that made it look like a conventional craft. There were no navigation lights, no flashing strobe, and the one large red light seemed to be under the craft. I did not see any windows, expect maybe when I first spotted it, but as the craft went overhead, whatever the windows might have been disappeared from view. The craft was traveling at the same apparent speed as a high altitude passenger aircraft. As the ISS came into view, the UFO went behind some cumulus clouds and vanished from view.
I tried to take a photograph of it, but it was too dark. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Rectangle

Cedar Park -- As usual I went outback around 8:00 PM, on August 8, 2012, and saw different shapes in the sky with bright red and glowing yellow light hovering above the trees next store. After watching for five minutes I tried taking unsuccessful photos but I do have a drawing.

After ten minutes I heard some weird sound like a door opening in space. I looked at the object and it projected a white beam of light at the trees and all its lights turned off. After twenty minutes of hovering the red and yellow lights came back on and it took off into the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Orb

Spokane I was driving home at 9:30 pm , on August 9, 2012, and saw a hovering bright orange light in the sky. I said, "What is that?" My mother who was driving couldnt see anything; a tree obstructed the view. Once we passed the tree the light was visible once again. It was a glowing ball of fire almost, appeared very round, but had a haze of transparent orange surrounding it. She stopped the car; as six more appeared bright, large, and identical. I grabbed my phone and snapped a shot that only picked up one of the seven lights as they flew off. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Wisconsin Lights

Appleton -- I just happened to look up in the sky on August 8, 2012, last night (9ish) when I saw some blinking lights, strobbing in different colors. It rapidly changed its path from coming right towards me. My wife said, "Its just a guy trying to learn how to fly". I said. "No airplanes can zig and zag like that." She then said, "Go get the camera". It went right over our house at about 750 feet silently. The object just kept zigzagging until we couldnt see it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Triangle

Cleveland , Queensland -- I was out in the backyard tending to our dogs when I looked up and noticed one pink/orange light in the sky on July 29, 2012, at 6:40 PM. It was moving more slowly than the planes that I often see and was not blinking or flashing the way plane lights do. I watched it head southwest when two similar lights came into my field of view.

The first light stopped to wait for the other two lights which slid into place forming the three points of a triangle all moving slowly and silently southwest. I called my mother out to watch them and she agreed how strange they were. She said it looked like the head lights of a very large but invisible plane. They may have been Chinese lanterns; however, there was absolutely no flickering or wavering of the lights of any kind. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Vancouver -- This object seemed to have two points of light or orbs stuck together with night vision on August 9, 2012, and would tumble back and forth. The object was high in the sky moving west slowly. I was wondering if it was in orbit. I spotted an object a few days ago about 1000 feet high and looked similar with a pulsating light bright enough to be picked up with night vision. It would have to be quite large as well to be this bright. It pulsates and gets brighter, two orbs or spheres makes me wonder what it could be. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Milan -- Our friend Antonio has posted photographs of a UFO on his Facebook profile of August 8, 2012. The photographs depict an object which suddenly changes shape and direction of flight. Antonio video captures UFOs with his CANON camera of activity above his home. http://www.segnidalcielo.it/2012/08/milano-antonio-urzi-fotografa-un-UFO/

Macedonia Flying Saucer Right above Me!

Bitola On July 14. 2012, I saw a disc for the third time in two months. The first time a friend saw a disc with some red and blue lights flashing below it. A couple days ago my girlfriend and I saw a very bright white light. We thought it was a radio transmitter tower on the hill, but after a couple minutes the light started to move and blink and disappeared.

I got my binoculars and bought a telescope to keep in my car in case it came again. Ten days later the same light appeared again. So my girlfriend took the binoculars and I got the telescope to search the sky. I spotted a disc shaped UFO coming toward us at the height a chopper flies. My girlfriend spotted a disc with red, blue, and white lights with the binoculars. I saw a pyramid shaped craft with very bright white lights in 1995 when an earthquake hit our town.

New Zealand UFOs

R. L. Pinfold writes, "Hi again from New Zealand...These guys can turn up almost anywhere! This one literally across the road, just off our beach....proves that ANYONE can chance upon them. This one was caught maybe a year ago, on Google "Streatview. ''This one, is a researchers delight, as the camera-car`s distance travelled down our road (1.5miles), at 30 mph with literally thousands of high quality images of the"X37"-like object, seen leaving the sea surface two miles offshore. It is possible to capture it`s progress across the bay, to cross the beach and adjacent to our base."

Anyone, can access the current form of "Steetview"...type in the address: 104 Marine Parade, Otaki Beach, New Zealand..S40.758,E175.100...then align the view seaward...locate the "Dot" above the horizon, then proceed north along to the end of the road...you will need the zoom function...We`ve attached a frame captured half way along the road.

Notorious ‘Area 51′ book being adapted for television

Jason McClellan | Jul 27, 2012

AMC has ordered a pilot episode for a scripted dramatic television series about the secretive military installation in Nevada known as Area 51. And the basis for this show will be Annie Jacobsen’s book Area 51, an uncensored history of America’s TOP SECRET military base.

Jacobsen reportedly interviewed more than nineteen men who worked at Area 51 for her book that “explores the myths about the area and those who believe that region is home to aliens, underground tunnel systems and nuclear facilities, according to the Hollywood Reporter. This book, published in May 2011, met with harsh criticism because of many questionable assertions made by Jacobsen. Most notably was the inclusion of an explanation for what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. She claims an anonymous witness informed her that the craft recovered at Roswell was actually an advanced German aircraft, and that the bodies recovered from the crash were children that had been mutilated by infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. This craft was allegedly ordered over the U.S. by Joseph Stalin, hoping to trick Americans into thinking it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft, which would result in a mass panic similar to the one caused by the 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Many doubt the veracity of this Roswell story, including ABC reporter Bill Weir. Weir also interviewed this anonymous witness, but says the witness asserts he did not make all of the claims laid out in the book. The former Area 51 employees interviewed by Jacobsen have also stated how they feel betrayed, and they feel that certain fictitious elements, including the Roswell story, were added to bolster book sales.
The controversy surrounding Jacobsen and her book doesn’t seem to bother AMC, however, and the cable network has even tapped Jacobsen to serve as a co-producer of the show. Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd will reportedly executive produce, and Todd E. Kessler (The Good Wife) will create the script.
The Hollywood Reporter describes that Area 51, the show, “will take place in the 1950s-1960s and will focus on those who work at the base and protect the country’s secrets — including the remains of the alleged alien crash at Roswell.”
Although it has been less than a decade since the government acknowledged the existence of Area 51, there is already a wealth of information provided by former base workers about the base itself, and about formerly top-secret projects that took place there. Many former workers have shared their stories with the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada. With this information, the museum opened an Area 51 exhibit this year titled Area 51: Myth or Reality? Perhaps a wiser decision for AMC would have been to work with the National Atomic Testing Museum, a Smithsonian-affiliated museum, rather than with the author of such a controversial book.

More Time Wasted with National Geographic's "Chasing UFOs"

by Robert Sheaffer

While at the two recent conferences in Reno and Las Vegas (see the previous Blog entry), I had occasion to explain to several people that the latest turd-TV offering from the National Geographic Channel, Chasing UFOs, had succeeded in doing something that never has been done before: UFO proponents and UFO skeptics all agree that the show is absurd, a travesty of "UFO investigation" that makes everyone look bad. Indeed, some UFO proponents think that because the show is so bad, it must be a government plot  to embarass UFO researchers!  Hard-core UFO proponent Robert Hastings quite appropriately says the show is "investigation as farce."  He says that its "entertainment-based formula may best be described as Blair Witch Project meets Inspector Clouseau. If the show’s producers are not secretly in cahoots with some intelligence agency to make legitimate UFO research look bad, by association, they have certainly achieved that outcome inadvertently."

was the UFO a spider web reflection?

Episode 3, "Alien Cowboys," is set in Colorado, where they begin by investigating the Tim Edwards UFO video of 1995.  The Chasers are suitably impressed by this video. So far as I know there has been no skeptical investigation of this video. Bruce Maccabee analyzed it, but came to no conclusions about what it is. "Abovetopsecret" user ALLisONE posted a photo comparing the "UFO" in Edwards' video to the sun's reflection on a spider-thread, and so far that's the best explanation I have seen. The changing shape and size of the object certainly suggests a reflection. The smaller white objects (baby UFOs?) are suggested by some to be insects, but to me they look like little dandelion "puffs", small seed packets being scattered in the wind.

They meet with Chuck Zukowski, who investigates alleged "cattle mutilations." I heard Zukowski speak at the International UFO Congress in February, and posted the following in a Blog entry of February 22:

The sessions began Wednesday morning with Chuck Zukowski talking about the joy of slicing up dead cattle that the aliens have already sliced and diced - that way, he can study their handiwork. He showed some gruesome photos, adding that he always brings his three kids when he investigates a mutilation, so that they can help out. He claims to sometimes detect substantial EMF fields emanating from mutilated cows, and speculates that it is a residual field from some alien device. I am wondering why the field does not dissipate away at the speed of light.

Zukowski explained that his website is www.ufonut.com, because this is what people call him. He said that mutilations seem to follow the cattle of certain ranchers, even if the rancher moves. I would think that what follows a rancher is the propensity to attribute slightly unusual predation patterns to extraterrestrials. He has discovered that mutilations and paranormal events are most common at 37 degrees north latitude, creating a belt of weird stuff running clear across the country. In the Q&A session, the question came up as to whether the aliens might be abducting cattle to create a race of "hybrid fetuses." Chuck thought that might be true. Can this be the explanation for the aliens' bizarre obsession with the nether parts of cattle - the creation of an alien/cattle hybrid? Now that truly bends the mind!

Somehow to me the image of Zukowski's three children romping about while he pores over a mutilated cow seemed delightfully surreal, but Chuck assures us in a comment below that his children are young adults, so their presence is surely more understandable. Soon it's time for the three Chasers, plus Zukowski, to put on the "prosthetic devices" and stumble around in the dark looking for mutilated cows, since it's obviously easier to find dead cows at night than when the sun is out. But just as they discover a herd of live cows from its infrared signature (guys, a dead cow won't radiate heat!), another near-encounter with a wild animal, this time a mountain lion, sends them scrambling back with no alien evidence.

They next visit UFO raconteur Stan Romanek, one of the least-credible persons in all UFOlogy. At this year's International UFO Congress I heard Romank deliver one of the most ridiculous talks on UFOs I'd ever heard. I posted:

Stan is the guy who became famous when he posted to YouTube a video of an alien peeping in his window. Soon others were posting alien Peeping Tom videos of their own, many of them better than Romanek's. He told about how he started to have sightings of UFOs a few years back, and soon they were following him around. Before long, big-headed aliens are playing peek-a-boo in the windows of his home. Then the ETs were replaced by as many as nine alien hybrid little girls, who intrude upon his telephone calls, and also play now-you-see-me-now-you-don't. One of them is Lisa's daughter from a previous UFO abduction. Stan gets a few not-quite-clear photos of strange-looking little girls, whose images probably have been Photoshopped to give them ET features.

Stan injured himself falling off a ladder, and was going to get corrective surgery. However, before the operation he was abducted by ETs, and his injury was miraculously healed, to the astonishment of his doctor. Before finishing his talk, he mentioned in passing that someone had anonymously mailed him actual photos of the true Roswell crash debris, and he flashed them tantalizingly on the screen. Stan Romanek is a one-man paranormal factory, and I suspect these wild claims will just keep piling up for many years.

Afterward while Romanek was at his table in the vendors' room (he and his wife now have three books of wild UFO claims), I introduced myself to him, and gave him my "Bad UFOs" card. I asked him why the aliens were following him around. We chatted very briefly when somebody (probably his wife) must have whispered, "don't talk to that guy." Suddenly it was, "I can't talk to you. You just bad-mouth people. Go away." I attempted to get a photo of him and his wife (others were doing so), but he turned his face away from me (how I regret not getting that image of Romanek avoiding the camera!). He said he'd have his lawyer sue me if I took a photo; I replied that was ridiculous, since he was a public figure in a public forum. So much for "UFO research!"

You guessed it: Romanek joins the UFO Chasers in their special Dark-Exploration Suits, and they stumble around not some desolate place, but in the suburban neighborhood where Romanek lives, looking for Extraterrestrials. I'm surprised they didn't have an Encounter with an ice cream truck. They don't find any ETs, but Ben spooks James by replicating the "peeping Tom alien" video, lying on the ground and holding up an alien mask.

The Roswell extraterrestrial tin can

In Episode 4, "UFO Landing Zone?", the UFO Chasers jump into "a race to investigate these [crash] claims." Well, it's only been 65 years since whatever it was happened at Roswell, so you'd better jump in before the trail grows cold. They stumble around in the dark, as usual, and get all excited over finding a piece of scrap metal, which only at the end is revealed to be "tin." Saucer debris, or the remains of some ranch hand's long-ago lunch? They also breathlessly find a military button, later identified as belonging to the U.S. Air Force. Too bad that the Air Force did not exist as a service until Sept. 18, 1947, more than two months after Roswell, and thus the button could not possibly have anything to do with any operation carried out in July of 1947. Roswell proponent Kevin Randle adds this about the button:

It seemed to be too good. The button I used for the photograph had not been buried, but only exposed to the open air for a couple of decades. It is tarnished to a bronze color. The button they found seemed to be nearly pristine. I would expect that if it had been buried for any length of time it would have degraded more than my button that had not.

The nearly-pristine post-Roswell Air Force Button

What this tells me is that the National Geographic has gone the same way as the Arts and Entertainment Channel, Bravo, History Channel and a couple of others....The point is that National Geographic is now more about ratings than research. It is about audience share and entertainment and not about finding the truth, whatever that truth might be. It is about superficial research that avoids asking the difficult questions or asking those who might actually have an answer.

 Exactly right. Randle also checked with the White Sands Missile Range about the supposed UFO crash video presented by Ted Loman that we see repeated over and over, research that The UFO Chasers could not bother to do. He was told that it was part of “an infrared shot of a Navy missile test." Case Closed, but by Randle, not by The UFO Chasers. 


And yet at this very moment another TV production company is seeking to cast "a new docuseries following Alien and UFO Researchers and Investigators. The show would be similar in concept to Ghost Hunters -- except with UFO and Alien findings." They explain, "We are looking to follow an existing team of Investigators," not even realizing that there is no such thing. Are they doing this because they believe Chasing UFOs to be a great show, or will they do a decent job of investigating UFO claims? I'd like to be optimistic about the show, but as a realist I'd have to say that the odds are against it.

The Return of The Incredible Green Fireballs: New Films of a UFO Mystery

By Anthony Bragalia
The Bragalia Files
7-17-12

     Nature provides man with wondrous atmospheric displays from comets to the Northern Lights. As awe-inspiring and infrequent as these phenomena are, they all have prosaic origins as explained by science. Much less understood (and far more rare) are the enigmatic Green Fireballs. The Green Fireball is often associated with historical sightings that occurred in areas like the State of New Mexico and near our National Laboratories, such as Sandia and Los Alamos. These unusually-behaved luminous balls of ethereal green were very different from conventional meteors and were seen to perform extraordinary aerial feats during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Military and intelligence authorities at that time even had a top-secret project called “Twinkle” whose objective was to trace the mysterious green fireballs plaguing Southwest skies in particular. Then for some inexplicable reason, appearances of the green balls of fire tapered down and “winked out.”
Or did they?

– Revealed here are remarkable images (recently found buried within NASA space footage archives) of a Green Fireball that seems to “follow” our astronauts.

– Striking and exceeding rare film has been located, also taken from space, where one can vividly see the strange Green Fireballs doing the impossible: exiting the earth’s atmosphere rather than entering it.

– High definition, non-hoaxed film taken this past Spring (with link below) clearly depicts a slow, “watchful” Green Fireball passing above excited witnesses for several minutes- not seconds. The object is comprised of matter but displays a luminous halo of “energy” and seems to change shape into a “diamond.”

– Documented recent reports referenced here that have been filed of Green Fireballs that wildly morph their appearance and “pace” their observers.

The glowing green balls are now exhibiting behavior so distinctly unnatural and never-before-seen that the conclusion draws near: Some of this phenomenon is intelligent and it is evolving in its revealed capability. It is able to mimic nature while traversing at will above us with a purpose unknown.

Green Fireballs: Natural and Artificial

Of course astronomers recognize the term “Green Fireballs” in conventional terms as naturally-occurring atmospheric events. Infrequently, shooting meteors of sufficient mass and velocity can create a “shockwave” hot enough to produce a Green Fireball. It is a cosmic phenomena associated with the color green that is caused in part by ionized oxygen (and is similar in color to that of a green aurora.) Recent research at Queensland University points to a possible connection to “ball lightning” electrical phenomenon as well. Sightings of most all such Green Fireballs can be accounted for in these (largely) understood, prosaic ways.

Only very occasionally ever filmed clearly, here we see a conventional “shooting” Green Fireball over Ocean Shores in 2008, towards the very end of this 44 second clip (incorrectly titled “UFO Green Fireball”- as it is indeed a green meteor):



A “conventional” Green Fireball is very simply a mass of stony or metallic matter that has fallen to earth from outer space. As can be seen in the above clip, it appears as a transient, fiery streak, otherwise known as a “falling star.”

But there are a core of sightings of Green Fireball-like phenomena that are distinctly different than conventional fireballs or green meteors - and that elude conventional explanation. It is this phenomenon that does not appear to find its origin with the realm of known atmospheric or celestial events. This unknown phenomenon was first noted officially and scientifically in 1948. Such illustrious scientists as astronomer Dr. Lincoln LaPaz (who was also involved in the Roswell crash investigation in 1947 according to multiple credible sources) initiated Green Fireball investigations utilizing expensive monitoring equipment (including an installation placed only 30 miles from the Roswell crash-involved Foster Ranch.) So concerned was the military that such sightings were occurring near rocketry and nuclear sites that a top secret conference was organized about the issue and attended by luminaries including Dr. Edward Teller. Opinions were divergent and studies, inconclusive.

In 1965 LaPaz privately confided to the Air Force’s Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Project Blue Book his last known word on the flying green balls: LaPaz was sure that certain fireballs’ anomalous characteristics were never really understood by himself or by officials- and that they did not behave like normal meteorites- and were most probably “artificial” in their origin. Despite best efforts, a certain class of Green Fireballs resisted all attempts at sustained filming and at determining trajectory- or in ever recovering any expected celestial debris. We have learned that this class of “artificial” Green Fireball phenomenon displays essential differences from “conventional” green meteors:

- They favor and cluster in specific geographic areas and sometimes near highly-sensitive locations.

- They appear episodically and even seem to “leave” us all together, only to reveal themselves again years later.

- They do not emit smoke trails (but sometimes have unusual ‘tails’).

- They change direction and angle of travel (sometimes sharply and abruptly, unlike conventional “shooting” meteoric phenomena).

- They have no impact sites and have never left any evidence of any type of their descent to earth.

- They do not always “shoot” or dart quickly, as they can also change their speed- and can sometimes maneuver far more slowly than meteors and other entering cosmic debris.

- They can possess “lime green” colorations that are not consistent with known celestial phenomena.

These anomalous characteristics left LaPaz and others forever perplexed. One can only wonder what they might think of their even more incredible aerial behavior today, documented on film.

- They travel impossibly upward and outward through our atmosphere and into space.

- They follow and track our astronauts.

- They can hover silently and with precision and even appear to even “watch” their observers.

- They can morph their shape.

The Green fireball That left The Earth To Follow The Astronauts - On Film

In scouring the deepest recesses of official NASA archived images online, located were photos and film of the Green Fireball taken from space that to my eyes are nothing short of astounding. And I was equally astounded that at least one other has also found the same thing.

In May of this year researcher Wilbur Allen spoke at a small conference which featured a call-in from his friend, Moon-walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell. Mr. Allen (who has professional interest in photography and was once employed as a White House engineer) delivered a presentation that included a brief segment of film that somehow made its way passed NASA censors. The film, taken by Apollo 7 in 1968, has been discovered to include clear moving images of a Green Fire Ball that is exiting –not entering- the Earth’s atmosphere. Further, it careens into space and is photographed by the astronauts! Allen notes yet another astronaut-filmed image of a Green Fireball in space which has received very little notice involving Buzz Aldrin- a man whose comments on ET have been both full of hints and contradictions. Allen also provides a striking comparative analysis of green fireballs using a solarization imaging technique.

You can see this very-little-viewed film here now, with the relevant portion beginning at about 1:58 of this 8 minute clip. It is best seen in a darkened room, full-screen at a minimally 480p quality resolution:



Below is a clear, still image of the Green Ball. (Excuse the crude box used to highlight the object. The NASA original is a much larger image not suitable to show here due to space constraints):

Green Fireball That Hovers, Follows Observers, and was Filmed!

For several minutes on October 9th, 2011, an excited Chicagoan and friends filmed a Green Fireball (that also morphed into a diamond-shape.) Shot clearly in 300X zoom, the resulting footage shows in astounding detail a flying Green Ball which possesses some kind of defined structure and which appears comprised of matter as well as a sort of high-state “energy.” The luminous aerial wonder changes shape and appears in ethereal green colors, encircled by a halo which is the hue of an ‘electric violet.’ The flight pattern is intentional and slow enough to be filmed for minutes- not seconds. See it yourself here in a little-mentioned 8-minute film, best viewed full-screen at minimally 480p quality resolution. You may wish to turn down the accompanying distracting ambient music:



The Green Balls of Fire Continue To Fly

A review of Green Fireball UFOs reported to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) shows that sightings of such phenomenon are on the rise and that their performance capabilities are evolving. Two notable, documented examples:

- In January of 2012 (MUFON Case # 34457) in New Mexico (a state long favored by the Green Fireballs) witnesses sighted one descending toward them. Then remarkably, its position suddenly changed to one of flying level. It then morphed its shape from a fireball into a slightly shiny V-shaped object and out of view! This is reminiscent of the filmed October 2011 episode above, where the “ball” becomes a “diamond” shape.

- In March of 2010 (MUFON Case # 22579) we learn of a report filed by a married couple in Florida who are described as “astronomy fans” who have seen many meteors. This green one however, was markedly different. They were surprised at how utterly slow the object moved as it passed closely by them (at about the speed of a single engine prop airplane) and that its brightness never wavered.

The Great Green Fireball is curious of us. Fleeting and ever furtive, it is secretive and evasive. It lets us glimpse it (and now even film it) but it never lets us “get it” to touch it. This is was Dr. LaPaz’ very lament. As he said, “it was not natural.” It acts with aptitude. It comprehends and it discerns. We can speculate that it is a sentient ball of light, a probe, a craft. But we cannot be sure. The only thing that is really certain is that the phenomena is real- and that its secrets will be revealed to us only if and when it ever wishes to do so.

The Bragalia Files

For over four and a half decades many around the world have wondered about the true nature of the sighting of a landed unidentified flying object that was reported on the ground and then taking off by Officer Lonnie Zamora in Socorro, NM in 1964. In the fall of 2009 this author’s investigation disclosed that the Officer had been victim to a hoax that was perpetrated by students at the New Mexico Institute of Technology.

Now, three years later, a more complete account of the hoax has finally emerged including:

-          The astonishing way the hoax was accomplished

-          The number of people involved in the hoax

-          Why they did not come forward

-          Remarkable film that visually documents how the college students constructed and flew the craft, according to the college’s President

-          The collective concern for Officer Zamora by the perpetrators and the college President in the wake of a youthful folly snowballed out of control

RETURNING TO SOCORRO

The story of the Socorro UFO sighting by Zamora, the aftermath and the hoax solution to the sighting were reported by this author in a three-part series on the UFO Iconoclasts website:

Socorro Hoax Exposed (Famous UFO Sighting Was a College Prank)

Socorro UFO Hoax Part Two: Getting Closer to the Culprits

Socorro UFO Hoax: Physical Evidence Points to a Prank

Investigation and interviews had produced:

1)      A confession after 45 years had passed by renowned Los Alamos physicist Dr. Stirling Colgate who was the former President of New Mexico Institute of Technology (NMIT) that the event was a hoax by students that he knew. He also confirmed that he had explained this all decades ago to his friend, secret UFO researcher Dr. Linus Pauling.

2)      An acknowledgement by NMIT professor and philanthropist Dr. Frank Etscorn (who was the inventor of the nicotine patch) that it was a hoax

3)      A confirmation from a leader of the school’s Energetics lab (who as a student there in the mid- 1960s) that it was a hoax.

4)      Several former students and a school public information administrator offered astounding information on a long-standing tradition of technical pranks- and even a “society” devoted to the pursuit. (Of course one must ask why so many ranking NMIT administrators and illustrious men of science would implicate their own school after being approached if it were not so?)

5)      Little-known official reports at the time were surfaced that showed the presence of charred cardboard, footprints and evidence of pyrotechnic ignition at the UFO site.

COLGATE NOW MAKES THINGS CLEARER

Dr. Stirling Colgate is perhaps the greatest living physicist in the word. An associate of Edward Teller, at age 86 Colgate still reports daily to work helping to lead advanced physics for one of the most esteemed scientific institutions on the planet, Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Colgate was the former President of NMIT and was known as very affable, likable administrator who was very close to his students. So much so that it is reported that he often shared drinks and gossip at Socorro’s Capitol Bar. It is in this air of academic conviviality that Colgate learned of his student’s involvement in the hoax on Zamora.

When a document was discovered in the Pauling archives that Colgate wrote to his friend multiple Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Linus Pauling that the Zamora sighting was a hoax, this author then contacted Colgate. Colgate confirmed the contents of the letter to Pauling and that, among other things:

1) He still knew the incident to have been be a hoax 2) He remains friends with one of the hoaxers 3) That person “does not want his cover blown” and that  3) accomplishing the hoax “was a no-brainer.”

Now, very recently, Colgate has made things much clearer.

In email replies received by this author from Dr. Colgate dated August 1, 2012 and on August 8, 2012 to further questions that I had of him much was learned about the “reasons and ways” of the hoax.

Dr. Colgate has I believe, truthfully and on his legacy, now graciously imparted to me further insight on the hoax scenario. In his words:

“It was a prank and I was very concerned for Officer Zamora.”

“No one would come forward on this, they were all embarrassed.”

“So many things were pressuring me and still are about this.”

“I did not feel that I could add anything by pressuring the students, and recognized it as a prank.”

“The students were embarrassed about the possible harm that could have come to Zamora (from the prank.)”

“No additional communication with Pauling(on this)”

“He too may have been embarrassed.”

Colgate says more to me in another email, whose additional replies from him are given below. But we learn from the above cryptic comments that Colgate and cohorts acknowledge the obvious, for they too are human:

They felt pressured about what to do, felt embarrassed of what they had done, and were sorry with concern for Lonnie.  Lonnie could have conceivably been fired from the police force, psychologically marred for life or other adverse things.

The hoaxers must have been uncomfortably conscience-stricken about all of this. It was never thought that the story would get so big. They did not mean it to snowball like that.

They were confused about what to do and were shamed life-long about what they had done. And really, who wishes to bring up to friends, family and work associates the youthful follies which we all wished had never happened? Should these perpetrators (who are now retired seniors) turn their world upside down and go public simply for our satisfaction?

We also find out that Pauling too, lost interest and never brought up the Socorro subject with Colgate, because he too wished not to suffer any potential professional embarrassment in being in any way associated with Socorro. Confirming Colgate, further review of the Pauling archives shows that there was indeed ever any further interest in the subject by Pauling.

COLGATE ON HOW THE STUDENTS HOAXED LONNIE

Beauty is often found in simplicity. And so it is with Socorro. For all of the speculations about the hoax involving such things as tethers, remote control and flame throwers- it needn’t be and wasn’t.

In the August 8^th email from Stirling Colgate, he opened up even a bit further about how the students had hoaxed Lonnie. I had of course always wanted to know from him just exactly how the deed was done.  How did the students do it?

I stated to Colgate that he must know how they did it- and directly asked of him:

 “How did they do it? What was the craft made of?”

His short but telling reply:

“A candle in a balloon. Not sophisticated.”

I also asked of Stirling how many were “in on the hoax?” Again, a short reply received:

“I’d say about 3-6”

Those who still steadfastly adhere to explanations other than “hoax” to the Zamora sighting will no doubt dislike what was said by Stirling.

But an amazing video by two college-age students from the UK (posted just months after my series on the Socorro hoax) may give us visual documentation of exactly what Dr. Colgate is referring to and how the hoax was performed.

Skeptics of my work on this simply do not wish to accept the truth that Lonnie Zamora first radioed his police partner that the white object “looked like a balloon.”

Here in the video below, two very clever British boys show us what Colgate means by how a simple “candle in a balloon” can also be an extraordinarily effective hoax and aerial effect (you can advance to 1:17 if you wish to go directly to the launch):

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjMn1diPIvo&feature=related 

VIDEO ILLUSTRATIVE OF HOW THE HOAX WAS DONE

Now, not only does Colgate say it that was a “balloon candle” type affair, but he also says that there were a very small number of college students that were involved, perhaps three to six.

And he is again right. There would have minimally been:

TWO LAUNCHERS:

Two short students in white coveralls (actually white lab suits) acted as “aliens” and had launched from the ground Lonnie’s landed “UFO.” Lonnie never claimed that he saw the short people get into the “vehicle.” By that time he was escaping or planning his escape to really note where they went.

THE SPEEDER:

One additional student that was needed was a student speeder to lead Lonnie just out of town and near where the two “aliens” awaited Lonnie.  This should have been the most obvious clue of all to a hoax: Lonnie had to somehow be made to get to the hoax- and he was, by a freshman in the car like the above.

THE PYRO:

Another student was used to create the explosion that had diverted Lonnie on a direct path to the “staging area.” This student may have also created the roaring and high pitched sounds that Lonnie reported emitting from the UFO. The sounds that Lonnie reported were actually resultant from “pyrotechnic whistles” according to the President of the world’s leading fireworks association (see prior articles.)  All of this material was available at the school’s Energetics Lab which sponsors the annual July 4^th fireworks.

So Colgate is correct that about at least 3-6 students were involved in executing the prank.

A very large white candle balloon (with a red, draw symbol on its side) launched by lab-suited students are what Lonnie saw. The roars were provided by both the balloon-flame contraption and by pyrotechnic whistles. As shown in the UK video above, such devices, even when rather large, can travel very high and far- and quickly.

PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING

Many still will insist that no one could be fooled by such a lit balloon contraption. But one must consider several things about the sole witness to the event:

Lonnie was confused, stirred up and frightened:

In small town Socorro, Officer Zamora was often tasked to “deal with” the students at the school. A student speeder trying to “show off” his hot vehicle whisks by Lonnie and Lonnie is in hot pursuit. This is surely not how Zamora wished to be spending a Spring evening awaiting the leave of the students from the school, being stirred up and having to chase some smart and smarmy kid-speeder. Lonnie then is startled to hear an explosion “like from a dynamite shack.” He was confused by the unfamiliar flying thing and frightened to crouch of the flame, roar and whistles.

Lonnie had impaired vision and required corrective lenses, which he lost:

We do not know if Lonnie wore single vision or bifocal lenses, but the images of him available to us show very thick lenses. Such lenses mean that the wearer’s vision is seriously compromised relative to the ability to correctly estimate distance.  And at a critical point of viewing the “UFO,” we know that startled Lonnie had jolted his glasses, dropped them to the ground, and stooped to locate them, found them, placed them back on his head and then re-adjusted his position to locate the UFO to see it again.

Lonnie reported things as he saw them, did his utmost best to answer questions put forth of him and was a good person. But like all of us, he had his flaws…including the flaws with his powers of perception that dusky day. He was not “Saint Zamora of Socorro.” He was neither an educated man nor an articulate or especially intelligent man, as gracefully noted by the Air Force’s Dr. J. Allen Hynek in his interview report of Zamora.  Lonnie probably never had seen such an unusual thing and to his faulted perception that day, remained honestly and thoroughly confused. And remember also the context of the time, 1964, a time when satellites were like science fiction and man had barely even been in space, and not yet on the moon.

Combining all of these things, it is easy to see how this sole witness out in the arroyo could imagine that he was seeing something truly remarkable. But it really was not all that at all.

TRUTH TAKES TIME

Continued appeals to truth and to history sometimes pay off. Such persistence in doggedly pursuing such old folks to find that truth for history sometimes gets me in trouble on such old cases. I am called overly aggressive and “leading” by some.  Say what they will, but it often yields answers and the solutions to mysteries. I approach and re-approach witnesses to Roswell and in all my UFO investigation. When TV’s “Columbo” Peter Falk solved crimes it was always at the very end, after taking some time, and always with a “re-approach’ of someone with whom he had already discussed the crime. Waiting a few years perhaps got Dr. Colgate to thinking it was about time to tell as much of the truth as he could.

And so it is with Socorro. Time has finally told all.

There was also the woman who approached me after a nuclear society meeting at which I spoke in Las Vegas. She had been asked as a grad student at NM Tech to secretly analyze some strange material from the Zamora site. I passed that lead on to Jim McDonald and he spoke with her.. can't imagine a hoax leading to that.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Dear Readers if you are sending emails to me I spent the day reading them and I have over 24,808 left to read in multiple languages. If I do not answer your query I apologize but I feel it is more important to write these files.  

Special Reports

Two Thousand UFO Sightings in July

MUFON CMS continues to amass sighting reports from around the globe. In July 2012 there were 971 sightings reported to MUFON through CMS from the following countries; Peter Davenport reports 841 sighting reports. Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director, has made appearances on, in order to discuss the high volume of reports of "fireballs" that we have been receiving since June 2011.  Whereas a typical number of reports submitted per month to NUFORC over the last 17 years has been 250-350, during June we received 974, and we have received 1,052 during July.  The majority of the reports from the last two months appear to be about the "fireballs," which we have discussed frequently over the past year.  This type of sighting appears to have increased significantly, within the last month or two, and they now dominate the reports we are receiving.  We post below a few of the reports that we have received recently, which are exemplary of the many "fireball" reports:

Great MUFON Conference

International Director Dave McDonald and his staff did a great job planning and running the conference. I was privileged to speak at the Northern Kentucky Conference Center for the annual MUFON Conference. The MUFON people who attended the conference are wonderful and we had a great time. The food, hotel, speakers were all great. This special group of people are intelligent, forward thinkers and have knowledge no other group possesses, except for perhaps those in the very highest positions of government.

They realize the world is being visited on a daily basis and that space aliens are attempting to improve the human race. We humans with our tribal wars and trillion dollars a year military budgets represent a threat to alien civilizations as well as to our own. Our disregard for the environment, conservation, and health of our planet is putting the future of the human race in great danger. We need to work to improve our disagreements and settle them by peaceful means. The speakers revealed there are more than thirty alien civilizations visiting Earth. At least one is a strong benevolent, most are neutral, and one or two are malevolent. Make plans to go to the MUFON Conference next year in Las Vegas.

Alien Log II

Dr. Farrell book is very entertaining brings to life the science behind alien encounters by providing realistic characters and dialog that brings the reader to an understanding of the relevant issues facing researchers in the field of Ufology. Dr. Farrell provides references by chapter in the back of the book. Alien Log II, the New World Order picks up where Alien Log left off. As the team, led by Colonel Pete Mitchell, heads back to base with the recovered alien artifact, Corey is abducted. The aliens can place a memory block on abductees before they are released. As a result Corey s alien captor, Quellin, freely answers any question Corey might have during a tour of the mother craft. Corey learns many things. For example, he learns the Big Bang Theory is wrong. He learns how the universe is constructed so remote viewing, telepathy, and past life s regressions are possible. Quellin explains how hybrids will be used to usher in the new world order and what that might look like.

Eventually, Corey is released and is joined by his teammates, Wendy and Pete, as they continue the quest to unlock the secrets of the artifact. Wendy and Corey discover that the information she recovers is too dangerous to pass on to Pete who will then pass it on to the President. In the end, they solve the problem in a most unusual way. EXCERPT Page.66

The alien is speaking to Corey, "Your civil and religious leaders have hidden and denied our existence for a long time. A sudden revelation would be too chaotic without first allowing humanity to question and study the evidence. The people must have time to question what they are being told by their leaders. We do not want disclosure to be disruptive. In order to avoid human panic, we feel it is better to transition you to a new understanding." The book has pearls of wisdom. Dr. Robert Farrell has taken facts from some of the best books in UFOlogy and entwined them into an entertaining story. http://www.amazon.com/Alien-Log-II-Robert-Farrell/dp/0975911635/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y

Editors Note: The reader of these files is years ahead of the public in understanding the Earth is being visited by extraterrestrials. It now appears many are entering our society. The US, Britain, Australia and countries where there are illegal immigrants are ideal to hide visitors from other planets.

Mars Landing

Curiosity, NASA's rover successfully landed in Gale Crater on Mars early Monday, August 6, 2012, transmitting images back to Earth after traveling hundreds of millions of miles to explore the red planet. The disc shaped object brought the landing vehicle through Mars atmosphere. This Rover is looking for the building blocks of life, rather than actual life as Mars is the most likely place to find life. Actually the Viking missions in 1976, both found strong evidence of life but NASA has chosen to ignore its own findings. This is a stunning achievement and NASA may be ready to announce that they will find the building blockes for life. This way people will gradually accept life outside Earth.

"This is a stunning achievement. The engineering went flawlessly," said Scott Hubbard, who was the first Mars program director at NASA headquarters and is now a consulting professor at Stanford University. The 10 science instruments aboard Curiosity are in "perfect health," and testing and calibration are under way, NASA said

Some rover team specialists are analyzing the data from the landing, while others are preparing Curiosity for exploring, where it landed, NASA said. On its first full day on http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/06/tech/mars-rover-curiosity/index.html

Sunken Pyramids off Florida's Atlantic Coast

There are at least three ancient underwater pyramids off the Atlantic Coast of Florida which few people know exist. Multiple sources of information about the pyramids are available, but for simplicity most of the following information is from Bill Hansons book "The Atlantis Triangle."
Hanson notes that the three pyramids are equally spaced about 35 miles apart on the west side of the Gulf Stream. To add to the mystery, three other underwater pyramids have been seen on the east side of the Gulf Stream. Those are 25 to 30 miles apart and located near Walkers Cay, Great Sale Cay and the Berry Islands of the Bahamas. Typically, the underwater pyramids have been seen after violent storms have temporarily swept away some of the sand covering the ancient structures.

Gary McKinnon, the English Hacker

Gary McKinnon, the English hacker facing 70 years in U.S. prison for searching Pentagon sites for UFO evidence, says the weirdest thing he found was a list of "Non-Terrestrial Officers" and fleet transfers between ships that don't exist in the U.S. Navy." -

Computer hacker Gary McKinnon "has no choice" but to refuse a medical test to see if he is fit to be extradited to the US, his mother has said.

Janis Sharp said it was "an impossibility" because the expert chosen by the Home Office had no experience with Asperger's syndrome.

Mr. McKinnon, from north London, admits hacking US military computers but says he was looking for evidence of UFOs.

The home secretary, Theresa May, has delayed until October any announcement on whether to extradite the computer hacker Gary McKinnon to the US.

His family says the Home Office expert, Professor Thomas Fahy, has no experience in uncovering suicidal tendencies in Asperger's syndrome patients. Mr. McKinnon, 46, had three medical examinations in April by three leading experts in Aspergers and suicidal risk. They concluded Mr. McKinnon was at extreme risk of suicide if extradited and he was currently unfit for trial.

Prime Minister David Cameron has stated, "I do recognize the seriousness of this case, and the Deputy Prime Minister and I actually raised it with President Obama when he visited. I think the point is that it is not so much about the alleged offence, which everyone knows is a very serious offence, and we can understand why the Americans feel so strongly about it.

Note - If Mr. McKinnon's data is correct, it validates the assumption the US Navy may well be operating off-planet via back-engineered ET technology. His data indicates the Navy and probably the Air Force operate a fleet of space craft and officers to either man them or otherwise control them.  Gary McKinnon states, "I found a list of fleet-to-fleet transfers, and a list of ship names. I looked them up. They weren't U.S. Navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet" The US Navy Clementine mission project mapped the entire Moon.

In his interview with the BBC, Gary claimed, "The Disclosure Project" had some very credible people all saying there is UFO technology, there's anti-gravity, there's free energy, and it's extraterrestrial in origin and they've captured spacecraft and reverse engineered it." He said, he investigated a NASA photographic expert's claim that at the Johnson Space Center's Building 8, images were regularly cleaned of evidence of UFO craft, and confirmed this, comparing the raw originals with the "processed" images.

He claimed to have viewed a detailed image of "something not man-made and cigar shaped floating above the northern hemisphere. McKinnon stated the image was approximately 256 megabytes in size, yet that the craft's details were still distinct in 4-bit color and low resolution on his mere 56k modem connection http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jul/24/gary-mckinnon-extradition-decision-delayed,

Syria conflict: Key Aleppo district sees fierce clashes

The Aleppo suburb of Tal Rifaat came under bombardment today has fierce fighting between Syrian government troops and rebels took place in a strategic district of the biggest city, Aleppo. State media said government forces had taken control of Salah al-Din, but the Free Syrian Army later announced a successful counter-attack. Images that have emerged from the northern city show buildings reduced to rubble by heavy weapons. Observers say controlling Aleppo is a crucial goal for both sides.

In another development, Jordanian officials confirmed that former Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijab had crossed into Jordan on Wednesday - two days after his defection was announced.

After several weeks of bombardment and skirmishing, it seems the real battle for Aleppo may now be under way. Syrian state television ran urgent news flashes saying government forces were "completely combing" the Salah al-Din quarter on the south-west side of the city.

Local commanders of the rebel Free Syrian Army confirmed that a big attack was taking place but denied that the opposition forces had been completely dislodged.

Salah al-Din has been one of the main battlegrounds in the struggle for Syria's biggest city, and much of the quarter has been very heavily damaged by bombardment.

The BBC's Jim Muir in neighboring Lebanon says that Aleppo's Salah al-Din is a densely-packed area of narrow streets and has been one of the city's main battlefields.

If this is indeed the start of the government's long-awaited offensive to clear rebels from the city, it is clearly going to take some time, he says. But a commander from the rebel Free Syrian Army later said it had launched a counter-attack following the arrival of some 700 reinforcements.

"For an hour and a half the Free Syrian Army has staged a counter-attack and reclaimed three streets out of five seized by regime forces," Wassel Ayub told AFP news agency by phone.

Photographs appear to show that Syrian rebels have for the first time obtained a heat-seeking, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile launcher, the New York Times reports

Penetrator Bomb

Though it's still being tweaked and tested, the Air Force's Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb is available for use if needed, said Air Force Secretary Michael Donley. "If it was needed to go today, we would be able to do that," he told a Capitol Hill audience on July 25 during a speech sponsored by Air Force Association, and Reserve Officers Association. "We could go with the existing configuration," he noted, but the Air Force will also continue to perform testing on the weapon to refine it.

Air Force officials first announced last fall that MOP was ready for combat. Boeing builds the 30,000-pound-class bunker buster, which the B-2A stealth bomber carries. MOP is designed to give the United States the means to hold difficult-to-access targets at risk—such as the hardened and deeply buried nuclear development and test facilities reportedly in countries like Iran and North Korea—without having to employ nuclear weapons.

Gbekli Tepe Disc Shaped

Six miles from Urfa, an ancient city in southeastern Turkey, Klaus Schmidt has made one of the most startling archaeological discoveries of our time: Massive carved stones about 11,000 years old, crafted and arranged by prehistoric people who had not yet developed metal tools or even pottery. The place is called Gobekli Tepe, and Schmidt, a German archaeologist who has been working here more than a decade, is convinced it's the site of the world's oldest temple.

Workman work in rectangular pits shaded by a corrugated steel roof at the main excavation site. In the pits, standing stones, or pillars, are arranged in circles. Beyond, on the hillside, are four other rings of partially excavated pillars. Each ring has a roughly similar layout: in the center are two large stone T-shaped pillars encircled by slightly smaller stones facing inward. The tallest pillars tower 16 feet and weigh between seven and ten tons. There are elaborately carved: foxes, lions, scorpions and vultures abound, twisting and crawling on the pillars' broad sides.

Schmidt points to the great stone rings, one of them 65 feet across. "This is the first human-built holy place," he says.

. "This area was like a paradise," says Schmidt, a member of the German Archaeological Institute. Indeed, Gobekli Tepe sits at the northern edge of the Fertile Crescent. Schmidt has found no evidence that people permanently resided on the summit of Gobekli Tepe itself, he believes this was a place of worship on an unprecedented scale—humanity's first "cathedral on a hill."

Schmidt in rapid-fire German explains that he has mapped the entire summit using ground-penetrating radar and geomagnetic surveys, charting where at least 16 other megalith rings remain buried across 22 acres. The one-acre excavation covers less than 5 percent of the site. He says archaeologists could dig here for another 50 years and barely scratch the surface.

In 1994, Schmidt was working on his own survey of prehistoric sites in the region. After reading a brief mention of the stone-littered hilltop in the University of Chicago researchers' report, he decided to go there himself. From the moment he first saw it, he knew the place was extraordinary.

Gobekli Tepe means "belly hill" in Turkish. It has a gently rounded top that rises 50 feet above the surrounding landscape.. "Only man could have created something like this." he says. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/gobekli-tepe.html#ixzz1yCudonf5

Sightings in the United States

Arizona Disc

Salt River -- The witness and her husband were traveling west on Thomas Road e ast of Phoenix in the Salt River Indian Reservation on July 30, 2012. They saw an intense thunderstorm over the mountains to the Northwest and took a cell phone photo that later showed a strange disked shaped object near the thunderstorm. (The object is highlighted and enlarged in the above photo.)

Note: Intense thunderstorms happen in the desert in July and early August due to a monsoon effect. Winds were quite gusty in the vicinity of these storms. The photo does show some apparent wind-blown debris. The disk shaped object could be some debris suspended in the air ahead of the thunderstorm." Then again it might be a genuine UFO? Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

California Light

SAN DIEGO -- On the morning of August 7th, 2012 at 1:35 AM, I was conducting a security patrol of the roof at my assigned property. I noticed a very bright light to the east moving slowly northwest. The direction of flight crosses aircraft landing at the airport. I was able to record 10 seconds of video with my phone before the light abruptly vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana Multiple Sightings

BLANFORD Richard Bondira has been photographing UFOs on clear nights since January 2012.

He sent me dozens of photographs of UFO that he has filmed over the last six months. As many as ten or more UFOs can be seen on some nights. They mostly hover but can be seen maneuvering, spin around, or go straight up. They usually come from the southeast heading northwest. Thanks to Richard Bondira

INDIANAPOLIS -- Jeff Johnston reports, "I was coming home from work a little after 1 am Sunday morning from Greensburg's Honda plant on Highway 74 on June 1 and saw police blocking the road in the lane going south. The police were ahead of the semi transporting this UFO. There were police cars around this semi and directly behind it." Thanks to Jeff Johnston

Massachusetts Lights

Newburyport I was on a boat for a fireworks cruise in the Merrimack River near the Route 1 Bridge, on August 4, 2012. While looking east toward the Atlantic Ocean area, a single red light was observed. Several more lights appeared in a perfect circle around the center light. The center light then disappeared followed by the circle of lights one at a time. Lights like this were never observed in this area before as verified by the experienced captain of the boat. Fireworks were being set off in the opposite direction. The town below the lights is the waterfront section of downtown Newburyport. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan Lights

  On August 6, 2012, was in my back yard taking long exposure pictures with my cameras. I took one shot and it had a ufo in it. I compared this picture to the picture I took 30 seconds ago and it wasnt there. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Editors Note: Sometimes long exposures will pick up an aircraft flying along blinking lights that appear as a cylinder.

Missouri Pilots Spot Disc

Kansas City -- I am the pilot of a regularly scheduled commercial aircraft flight from St. Louis to Kansas City and was on approach to KCI at 9 PM, on July 30, 2012, when my co-pilot said he saw an unidentified object to the right of the aircraft. It was following us, but not yet in my range of view. I radioed the tower and asked for radar confirmation but there was none.

Then the object came into my view to the right front of the aircraft. At that point we were 35 minutes out from the airport. The object was a silver/gray color and had three blue/white lights on the bottom and one on the top. It was a disc-shaped craft with a low dome on top. It was about 300 feet from our aircraft and when it suddenly moved underneath us and to the left flying at our same rate of speed. We decided not to tell the tower what we saw because of what happens when reports like this are made. The tower then asked us to confirm an unidentified object and I said it was no longer in view.

The object stayed with us for 22 minutes. When I decreased aircraft speed for approach, the object slowed as well, and then went directly south of our position at a very high rate of speed faster than any aircraft Ive ever seen. I was a military pilot for 14 years and know what type of aircraft we have. It was definitely NOT a man-made aircraft. Some pilots have lost their jobs when they report a UFO, and I would like to keep mine so am not providing my name or contact information. Some of the passengers and other crew members were discussing this as they left the plane. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer and William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Independence -- Sometime in October of 2011 my wife and I were coming home at dusk when I looked up and saw a triangle arrowhead object that was very large and a gold color. There were no lights on it and it was not reflecting sunlight. The point of the triangle was facing down and it was just sitting there. A commercial airliner headed towards it, and was twice its size. I ran inside to get my camera, but when I got back out it was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Montana Cylinder

Wilsall -- On August 3, 2012, we were hiking in the NW Crazy Mountains just beneath Table Rock and I took a number of photos. This is a flight path for jets for Belgrade -- Yellowstone International Airport. All of the jets we saw on this trip had clearly visible jet streams. The UFO in the picture was a surprise and shows no jet stream from the UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Lights

LINDENWOLD I was at home, looked out my window from my bed on July 28, 2012, and saw a moving light below the clouds. I kept watching and I saw another moving smoothly in a different direction. I focused on one and realized it seemed to have one big bright light in the center and many small lights circling that, like a flying saucer. I really didnt see a distinct shape, but I could assume they were somewhat disc shaped as they zoomed away. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. This case is under investigation by Ed Dobson. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldUFOphotos.org

MARLTON -- Four lights the size of stars were swirling around each other in the direction of Philadelphia on July 28, 2012. There was heavy cloud cover as one light moved closer and further from the four lights that were very close to each other, almost forming one object. It moved from Philadelphia over my house in South Jersey, toward the ocean. The lights eventually stopped moving east of me, hovered for a long time, and then disappeared into the clouds. The individual light that was following the grouping eventually moved away until it disappeared. The lights weaved around each other. Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Discs

BELMONT -- I went on the MUFON-NC website Saturday afternoon June 9, 2012, and read about recent sightings in NC. Being familiar with Belmont, I was intrigued by a recent report. So, I invited a friend, Nancy Queen, to go to a boat docking area Saturday night and stake out the area. We arrived about 7:30 pm and took a few pictures. At dusk, I mounted my camera on a tripod, and caught sight of an orange flying object coming towards us at 9:25 pm.

I called to Nancy as two more aircraft came over the treeline silently with orange lights aglow. I couldn't make out any features on the aircraft as the light was blinding. Nancy managed to get some pictures with her camera as well as me. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldUFOphotos.org

Commodore Barry Bridge -- I was driving home from work from Pennsylvania to New Jersey using around 1 PM, on April 30, 2011. Once I got onto the bridge I noticed a round shaped object in the sky high near the clouds. It looked like a metallic upside down top hat that was floating fast in the sky along the bridge to Pennsylvania. I only saw the object briefly but I was able to pull out my cell phone and take a picture of it. The object floated fast high above the bridge it did not make any noise and it did not bounce around. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.  This case is under investigation by Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldUFOphotos.org

Ohio Light

Newton Falls -- My girlfriend and I work midnights and had just got up to go to work on August 5, 2012, I walked outside to check the weather and saw a bright red light in the sky with an orange middle in it. I yelled for my girlfriend to come see, she came out and saw it as well. The object flew south silently right over our apartment into the clouds. I turned to see a second one coming in the same flight pattern with an airplane behind it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Lights

BEND -- I was sitting at the computer and my dad called me outside to see a light on August 6, 2012. It looked like a star, moving in a straight path silently. I got excited at the fact that I get to witness such a thing, This was the first time we got it on tape. We couldnt make out any detail with the zoom on his phone. We just saw the vibrant and indescribable colors. I thought it was just amazing! We lost the sight when it just flew fast into the darkness of the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Astoria -- On August 1, 2012, my boyfriend told me there was two strange extremely bright lights in the sky at 2:38 AM. I got up and looked and saw a very bright white that looked like a huge very bright spot light. It kept changing going dimmer and then bright again. Then my daughter and her friend came to look as it changed to a rainbow light and then back to the bright white light alternating between extremely bright to dim. Then we saw two lights one on top of the other maneuvering that just vanished. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Tennessee Battle

ATHENS -- On July 18, 2012, my husband and I were sitting on the porch when I noticed a blue and red flashing light in the sky. We both lay on top of the car watching and soon some neighbors came to join. There were several hundred UFOs shooting at each other, we seen some UFO blow up and fall, but dont know where it landed. This continued for two hours. Later a huge bright white light like a ball of energy shot up from behind the apartments and disappeared rather quickly. We called 911 and officer came out and he told us unless it lands right here he cant help us.

An hour later there were several hundred balloon like things with tentacles that would light up bluish and they seemed to be taking over the other UFOs. My husband called us to see an huge object that had black dots shoot out from it. We saw flying saucers less than 20 feet away. We girls took off running, my husband and his friend hid behind the dumpster as one flew right by them and the air rippled. We woke up everyone in the neighborhood to come out and see, and they all admit they were UFOs.

The following night everyone in the neighborhood was out sitting watching, and these triangle shape things would drop out orbs of lights as they hovered and they flashed lights as if in communication with each other. They seemed spiderlike. My husband pointed a laser pen at a green one above our apartment and it flashed back numerous times. They descended lower and we got scared and went to bed. ever sense July 15th 2012 there have been these star like objects and bright lights My dog was freaked out and ran inside. n Athens Tennessee know what we saw. My husband has many more details this is very brief of what happened, we also heard over 15 other 911 phone calls over the scanner about aliens. Another weird thing the day this happened the clouds in the sky were perfect and resembled many things of face people animals it was very strange. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Sevierville -- We were boating on Douglas Lake on July 27, 2012,

near the Douglas Dam and saw blue diamond shaped objects toward the sun. I took a few pictures but did not see the big diamond shape object because of the blinding sun, but I did see the bluish diamond shaped objects on the previous picture. I contrasted the picture to see if what I was looking at might be lighting/pixel artifact, but there seems to be a shadow and light bending around the object like any 3D object. Thank you.

Note: The diamond shape could be due to the shape of the camera aperture. Photos taken into the Sun can produce a variety of anomalies. The witness says that he saw some blue diamond shaped objects. The object (or anomaly) in the photo is probably not one of these objects. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Washington Disc

SEATTLE -- My boyfriend came in from outside and told me there was two strange extremely bright lights in the sky. I got up and looked and saw a very bright white spot light. It kept changing going dimmer and then bright again. My daughter and her friend came to look as it changed to a rainbow of light and then back to bright white. I was able to get a picture.

Wilbur -- On July 24, 2012, mysterious crop circles appeared in an eastern Washington wheat field — not far from the nations largest hydropower producer. The farmers preparing for the summers harvest find the distraction more amusing than alarming. "You cant do anything other than laugh about it," said Cindy Geib, who owns the field along with her husband, Greg. "You just kind of roll with the theory its aliens and youre special because aliens chose your spot."

Friends called the Geibs on July 24 when the pattern of flattened wheat was spotted off Highway 174, ten miles south of the Grand Coulee dam. The circles resemble a four-leaf clover and knocked down about an acre of their wheat. "Of course, we dont have alien insurance," she said.

Similar circular patterns were left in crops in the Wilbur area in 2010 and in 2008 or 2009, Geib said.

The latest crop circle was first reported Tuesday by Spokane station KHQ-TV (http://is.gd/57FTpy). There were no signs that anyone walked into the field.

Worldwide UFO Sightings  

Australia Triangle

SYDNEY -- I had a truly mind blowing experience while on vacation in Sydney at 2230 hours on January 9, 2012. I arrived at Erskineville station and noticed a light flying in a formation at high speed from behind this tall building. It changing size and I was able to capture a slideshow of images. Object changed size from a relatively small triangle formation consisting of three lights to a much larger one while retaining the original triangle shape it started out as. I experienced confusion, shock, and fright!

Canada Reddish Orangey Light

LONDON On August 4, 2012, we saw a bright reddish orange circular object that bounced around the sky like a ping pong ball. I know that it wasn't a helicopter...or a plane. It maneuvered fast and erratic.

It bounced a few times up, down, and sideway and then vanished. It reminded me like a subtitle movie ball. It was near Saunders School on Viscount Road. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Germany Four Red Lights on Circular Object

Berlin -- I was gazing to the east sky at dusk, about 10:45 PM, on July 28, 2012, when I noticed two bright red lights moving east. They were a hand-length apart, one in front of the other. The first light stopped mid-flight and the second continued to move and disappeared into the clouds. About 20 seconds later the other did the same, I suppose rising vertically.

I continued viewing that portion of the sky and another two red lights appeared, one in front of the other, this time further apart. The red light went out on the first object revealing a circular disk. It was about the size of thumbtack held at arms length and grey in color. The latter red light continued to shine red and disappeared into the clouds. Then I watched the small circular disk until it was obscured by buildings.

I teach design courses in college and live across from Boston's Logan International airport. This is my first visit to Berlin... Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Hungary Hundred Bright Spots Formation

Budapest -- My girlfriend and I were on vacation on July 28, 2012, and went out on the balcony at 11:55 PM and spot what I first believe is a flock of birds. I keep looking at these strange birds and wonder how come they glow. The sky is pitch dark, so the only way for them to be seen is if something is shining on them from below. The flock slowly moves through the sky, and they keep the same glow all the time.

I realized these are not birds; there are about a hundred spots in the sky, in a fixed, stretched formation. I kept looking at the formation for about five minutes, before they no longer were in my visible area.

Two bright spots came a little later. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

South Africa Large Red Oval Object

Riebeek Kasteel On August 4, 2012, at 8.30 PM I went outside for my evening stargazing and saw a large red oval object with at bottom yellow sparkling bright bigger than the stars flying at high speed through the sky. It came from the west flying at high speed and coming a little down, like their knowing what they were doing.
Above the lights was an orange mist. The object flew with high speed and slowed down and turned around a little bit and it took a position watching me.

I called my daughter to come outside and that moment the object was looking for a place to stop. It made a circle movement and stood still. My daughter (6) mentioned that we are all children of God.

I started to get frightened and walked inside the house but I hesitated I went outside again and the object was gone. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

UK/England Bubble/Egg Shaped Pod Seen

Chingford, NE London -- As my wife and I were walking up our road we saw an egg shaped, pod-like, object appear over the rooftops flying north away from London over Pole Hill on July 31, 2012.

It looked like a pod from the London Eye, and seemed a similar size. It a few hundred feet high with a clear canopy over a solid, dark-colored base. It didn't see a pilot. It was silent and travelling at a steady speed, as it disappeared into the distance through a gap in the houses. It followed a straight trajectory and maintained a constant speed.

The Surprising Origin of the Flying Saucer Myth

On June 24, 1947, an amateur pilot named Kenneth Arnold was flying a small plane near Mount Rainier in Washington state when he saw something extraordinarily strange. Directly to his left, about 20 to 25 miles north of him and at the same altitude, a chain of nine objects shot across the sky, glinting in the sun as they traveled.

By comparing their size to that of a distant airplane, Arnold gauged the objects to be about 45 to 50 feet wide. They flew between two mountains spaced 50 miles apart in just 1 minute, 42 seconds, he observed, implying an astonishing speed of 1,700 miles per hour, or three times faster than any manned aircraft of the era. However, as if controlled, the flying objects seemed to dip and swerve around obstacles in the terrain.

When the objects faded into the distance, Arnold flew to Yakima, Wash., landed and immediately told the airport staff of the unidentified flying objects he had spotted. The next day, he was interviewed by reporters, and the story spread like wildfire across the nation.

"At that time there was still some thought that Mars or perhaps Venus might have a habitable surface ," Robert Sheaffer, an author of UFO books (and a skeptic), told Life's Little Mysteries. "People thought these UFOs were Martians who had come to keep an eye on us now that we had nuclear weapons."

As time would prove, this was but the first of many outlandish theories behind visits of an extraterrestrial nature. The era of UFO sightings had begun.

Reporting error

Arnold's sighting was "such a sensation that it made front page news across the nation," UFO-logist and author Martin Kottmeyer wrote in an article ("The Saucer Error," REALL News, 1993).

"Soon everyone was looking for these new aircraft which according to the papers were saucer-like in shape," Kottmeyer continued. "Within weeks hundreds of reports of these flying saucers were made across the nation. While people presumably thought they were seeing the same things that Kenneth Arnold saw, there was a major irony that nobody at the time realized. Kenneth Arnold hadn't reported seeing flying saucers."

In fact, Arnold had told the press that the objects had flown erratically, "like a saucer if you skip it across the water." They were thin and flat when viewed on edge, he said, but crescent-shaped when viewed from the top down as they turned. Nonetheless, a reporter named Bill Bequette of the United Press interpreted Arnold's statement to mean that the objects he saw were round discs. According to Benjamin Radford, UFO expert and deputy editor of the Skeptical Inquirer, "It was one of the most significant reporter misquotes in history."

"The phrase 'flying saucers' provided the mold which shaped the UFO myth at its beginning," Kottmeyer wrote. UFOs took the form of flying saucers, he noted, in artist's renderings, hoax photos, sci-fi films, TV shows and even the vast majority of alien abduction and sighting reports for the rest of modern history, up until the present day.

"Bequette's error may not prove to be the ultimate refutation of the extraterrestrial theory for everyone. But it does leave their advocates in one helluva paradox: Why would extraterrestrials redesign their craft to conform to Bequette's mistake?" Kottmeyer wrote. [Read: Could Extraterrestrials Really Invade Earth, and How? ]

For the birds

Though he didn't see flying saucers, most of Arnold's contemporaries believed that he really had seen something that day. The Army report on the sighting states: "[If] Mr. Arnold could write a report of such a character and did not see the objects he was in the wrong business and should be engaged in writing Buck Rogers fiction." His account was very convincing.

So if he did see something, what was it exactly?

One theory holds that it was a fireball — a meteor breaking up upon entry into the atmosphere. If a meteor hit the atmosphere at a shallow angle to the Earth, its pieces would approach the surface traveling almost horizontally. Furthermore, the pieces of meteor would travel in a chain like the one Arnold saw, would shine very brightly, and would travel at thousands of miles per hour.

But most historians think the objects weren't from outer space at all: "It was probably pelicans flying in formation," Sheaffer said. "Probably Arnold misjudged the distance and thought they were huge objects at a great distance but they were actually much closer."

After all, the boomerang shape that Arnold drew in a picture of the objects he had seen looks very much like a bird with its wings outstretched.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Dear Readers: if you are sending emails to me I spent the day reading them and I have over 24,808 left to read in multiple languages. If I do not answer your query I apologize but I feel it is more important to write these files.  

Special Reports

Lt. Colonel Talks about Investigating and Debunking UFO Sightings

Recently at the International UFO Congress, an ex-fighter pilot approached Open Minds Antonio Huneeus and asked to share his story. Retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Dick French's 27 years of military experience has taken him around the world. Hes flown fighter jets in Vietnam and Korea, operated in military intelligence, and been exposed to some of our nations biggest secrets. His career started in the AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations) where he would conduct stakeouts to remove personnel who were breaking the military's code of conduct.

French then moved on to pilot training school and later was put in the 6004s Air Intelligence Security Squadron where it was his duty to investigate any reported UFO sighting. He would collect any photographic evidence, question witnesses on the size and shape of the object, its estimated capability, and any other occurrences that surround the sighting. In the end though, French claims that his superiors told him to debunk these sightings however he could. This position also allowed him to travel to many interesting UFO hot spots while meeting high-ranking officials; he even claims to have met Colonel Philip Corso.

While were still investigating French's background, we do know that he was in the AFOSI, and part of his duties was to debunk UFO sightings and occurrences. Just how much of French's story can be confirmed is still being decided on, but Open Minds will continue to investigate. Thanks to Antonio Huneeus at Open Minds

Chile: Retired General Declares "UFOs Exist"

General Ricardo Bermudez (Ret.), Director of the Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA, in Spanish) explained yesterday in statements made to Chiles Radio Cooperative that his team has indeed witnessed UFOs, that they exist and are being investigated in accordance with their mission, but that these objects do not necessarily include "little green extraterrestrials" inside them.

"A specific case took place in Punta Arenas late last year, where the radar picked up an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) and the air traffic controller told the airplane that it had said UFO in front of him at a distance of four miles, which is equivalent to three steps away for a person on land, and the pilot indeed saw it," said Bermudez.

On that occasion, explains the General, after being picked up on radar, the air traffic controller sent out a warning to the unknown aircraft, and the pilot also witnessed, along with ground personnel at Porvenir and another air traffic controller.

"This is one of the most solid cases in our files, and its an objective one, because one can say that a pilot may be confused by clouds, or that people on the ground could hallucinate at any given moment, but here we have witnesses plus instrumentation," argues Bermudez.

"The anomalous aerial phenomenon described as unidentified flying object exists, is present here and all over the world, but it must be understood within scientific etymology. The term unidentified flying object is employed and the immediate thought that comes to mind is "flying saucer with little green aliens", which is not at all correct."

New Area 51 Pyramid 

The Air Force's infamous super secret base at Groom Lake, Nevada—also known as "Area 51" or "Dreamland"—has just finished constructing a massive desert pyramid. It could be a radar site but speculation suggests it may tie into the network of ancient pyramids worldwide and draw upon alien technology to absorb the rippling dimensional energies to power?

Pyramids some are thought to be alien? Scientists in China and Russia think so. Now, it seems the hidden technology of those ancient structures is being activated as massive pyramids around the globe are shooting pulsing streams of raw energy deep into space. What is their purpose? Are they really conduits of cosmic energy as some have claimed? Were some pyramids actually designed by aliens that created a worldwide network of advanced city-states based on their super science? Who really knows? Well, maybe the United States Air Force knows. 

Pyramid technology is ancient and global. Fantastic pyramids have been discovered beneath the twisted growth of South American jungles, the ocean's floors, on high plateaus and desolate deserts. Hundreds were built in Tibet and China allegedly by blue eyed, white skinned blonde aliens.

Some who've researched these ancient silent stone sentinels are convinced that at least a few of the mighty structures are actually advanced machines—machines engineered to accomplish purposes so vast that the energies unleashed could dwarf today's most advanced technology.

With the recent astonishing activity of Aztec and Mayan pyramids, and the giant pyramid in Bosnia, the hypothesis that some of the ancient structures are machines suddenly appears entirely credible.   World's Pyramids Beaming Energy to Mysterious Space Cloud] 

Dr. Demetriev has revealed that both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes reported the entire solar system is at risk. Worse, Merav Opher, a NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator from George Mason University claims this interstellar energy cloud is unstable and turbulent.

The Russian scientist further asserts this photonic cloud of energy is exciting the atmospheres of the planets and especially our sun. As this interstellar energy cloud continues to excite and interact with the sun, it causes the sun to become more active, resulting in greater output and instability.

This master engineer shows how the Great Pyramid possibly created a harmonic resonance with the Earth, allowing this crystal edifice to convert the Earth's vibrational energies into an unlimited supply of electricity.

Explorer, researcher and author, Christopher Dunn wrote, "The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt." After that landmark article, Dunn went on to publish many articles expanding his theory and his breakthrough book. Dunns book caused instant controversy, although it intrigued many scientists. The Giza Power Plant. Video is available.
While his perspective on ancient technology was dramatic, it was also testable.

More than one researcher, including some electrical engineers, have made the case that some of the more ancient pyramids are actually gigantic machines that generate power. Some have even built models that prove their contention that pyramidal structures are natural reservoirs of energy and can act as huge capacitors and generators of electricity. 

Among the first to propose the theory was  Christopher Dunn. He introduced the theory to the world with his article Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt that revealed machining techniques far more sophisticated than most orthodox Egyptologists realized.

One such model was built by an engineer from Austria named Trawger. When scaled up to sizes equaling large pyramids found around the world the power increases exponentially and could produce gig watts, or the equivalent of small nuclear reactors without the risks. Pyramids may be the ultimate "green energy" power source. Video demonstration of how pyramids generate electrical power: 

(Pic of a pyramid power generator prototype)

Evidence exists that some of the energy that accumulates within pyramids may be hyper dimensional in nature. Some researchers suspect that pyramid energy vortices are creating torsion fields and generating scalar waves. If so, directed HAARP scalar waves can intensify a pyramids power and vastly increase the release of torsion field energy. 

Recently, Chinese scientists have activated a special team that has been studying the great Xianyang pyramid that sits near Mount Baigong in the western province of Qinghai, China. They are now closely monitoring the pyramid for signs it might activate as others have. [See:  Alien Base Found At Chinese Pyramid] 
Giant machines capable of generating incredible amounts of energyare they really possible? The evidence suggests (Mysterious Xianyang pyramid) that it is, and if so it raises the question: to what purpose will all that energy be put? The Chinese think their famous flat-topped pyramid was used many thousands of years ago as a landing airport.

A generator that may be able to pump out mega joules of energy can be used for almost anything: opening doorways to other universes, climate manipulationeven as a planetary defense system against careening space rocks or incoming attacking alien armadas. If true—and there's strong circumstantial evidence that at least some of the allegations made  by Bob Lazar and others that the USAF top-secret test base is hip deep in ET artifacts and technology.

Then some of that technology must require a charge-up to power the unearthly devices. 

The Chinese scientists may be on to something. For if the pyramid in Qinghai truly was erected to power up extraterrestrial spacecraft, then the USAF may require something similar when their scientists and engineers reach the stage in the decades-long project to back-engineer unworldly technology that's allegedly stumped some of the world's best thinkers for more than two generations. 

If the USAF reached the stage where they need a massive, alien-designed, power base they would more than likely build a pyramidal structure very much like the one in China. The USAF version also appears to have some upgrades compared to the ancient Chinese version. In particular a square receptacle that sits in the middle of the flattened top of the Area 51 pyramid. For more than 20 years UFO activity has been regularly spotted in and around Groom Lake. Strange craft have been seen hovering and maneuvering nearby. When the pyramid is fully powered up and activated, there might be many more strange craft skimming over the lonely Nevada desert than at any time in the past. Thanks to  beforeitsnews

Two Million Dead fish and birds in July

Dead fish and birds falling from the sky are being reported worldwide, suddenly. This is not a local affair, obviously. Dead birds have been reported in Sweden and N America, and dead fish in N America, Brazil, and New Zealand. Methane is known to cause bird dead, and as methane rises when released during Earth shifting, will float upward through the flocks of birds above. But can this be the cause of dead fish?

If birds are more sensitive than humans to methane release, fish are likewise sensitive to changes in the water, as anyone with an aquarium will attest. Those schools of fish caught in rising methane bubbles during sifting of rock layers beneath them will inevitably be affected. Fish cannot, for instance, hold their breath until the emergency passes! Nor do birds have such a mechanism. Since 2010, beaches worldwide are littered with dead sea life. Birds and fish are dying in masses which were never recorded before. These events occur worldwide in ponds, rivers and oceans.

Many of these events are still a mystery for scientists. And why would Sweden have clouds of methane being released when it is not even on a fault line? Nor is Brazil on a fault line, though New Zealand and the New Madrid region in Arkansas are. We have often stated that the plates have had the rock fingers preventing movement along their edges broken off, so they have become slippery. The stress is evident on all plates, which are shifting around, internally, under the strain. Thus methane, so poisonous to birds and fish, is being released. 

Droughts had become more intractable and deluges positively frightening, temperature swings bringing snow in summer in the tropics and searing heat in Arctic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity. 
Hurricane force winds will sweep the Earth and every region of the globe will emerge with warmer climate. Consumers can expect the worst US drought in 50 years to increase food prices. Expect milk, eggs, bread and chicken to rise in price due to the drought.

India Blackout 600 Million People Affected

NEW DELHI Indias electricity grids suffered another massive failure Tuesday, July 31, 2012, the second in two days, and frustrating commuters, stranding coal miners and leaving more than 600 million people without lights, rail service or air conditioning in 90-degree heat.

R.K. Nayak, chairman of the Power Grid Corporation told reporters that the problem was difficult to pinpoint given the networks complexity. The massive outage -- billed as one of the worlds largest, affecting half of India's 1.2 billion people. Nearly twice as many people were affected by Tuesdays failure as were without power Monday. Some 350 trains were affected.

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Disc

Carefree -- My UFO story was in 1967, and since then I dont think I ever have slept thru the night. Anyway I was down in the kitchen and for some reason looked out the back door window and there as clear as you could make it was a huge round disc hovering over the field behind the house -- about 1000 yards back. I really thought I was seeing things so the next morning early I decided that I would walk the dog over to where I saw this thing. I just meander over casually walking my Basset Hound to see if there was any evidence of a disc landing there? When I got there, there were about 8 other neighbors there. We all hemmed and stuttered around until we all admitted to each other why we were there -- every one of them had seen what I had seen. Some at seen the disc out their front windows, bedroom windows etc.  We all knew others would tell us we were crazy.

Here in Carefree, the huge thing now known as the Phoenix lights went over. That was either a huge experimental aircraft that the government says we don't have or it was a UFO of some kind. It was huge and darkened the sky as it went slowly across the state from north to south.  You should read the book about it.

I do enjoy Filer's Files.  My only take on the secrecy is that for years since 1980, governments worldwide have made the decision that the ordinary man in the street would panic. Sometimes I think that the broadcast by Orson Wells was some kind of a test to see what people would do. Thanks to Barbara

California Miniature UFO

MODESTO -- Over the past year and a half I have experienced various imagery in my bedroom in the early morning hours before sunrise. Until about a month ago, the images all looked like holograms. They were usually actively moving around but they didnt look solid. For the first year I didnt know if this was my imagination. However a few months ago in the middle of a two or three night episode I looked out the window and there

were two triangle shaped craft hovering nearly directly above our apartment building. The same thing happened a week later. So, Im convinced that these two years of indoor image displays are being delivered by some sort of Alien intelligence.

This report describes my second experience with something appearing near my bedroom ceiling that looked 100% solid and 3D. It was a triangle of rainbow light with swirling colors like the surface of a soap bubble. Next a little spaceship materialized from the triangle of light coming out of a headlight at the tip end of the spaceship. The object then turned toward me, slowly floating off the ceiling. I glanced away for a second and then back, it was gone. It was all white but had some other color around the edges of the fins. From head-on, the headlight was a very pretty light blue color like a glowing turquoise. The next morning, I made a detailed drawing of the ship which I have attached to this report. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Connecticut Light

Monroe On July 29, 2012, I went outside to check on my pool filter and noticed a very bright orange light in the northwest sky. It made no sound and varied in brightness from very bright to very dim. It moved in an erratic circular motion then it seemed to fade away. I ran into the house get my wife and my camera but the light had disappeared/

I walked up my street and the light reappeared and I took this picture with my old Olympus digital camera D-580. The object rose out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Delaware Lights

Bremen I saw an unusually bright orange to yellow light from wingtip to wingtip on July 27, 2012. At first, I thought it was a plane, and tried to take a photo at sunset, but it was too dark. It came closer and I ran for the 8 power magnifying hunting glass. Through the glasses, it had the size of a 2 EURO coin. To my big surprise there were no more lights - and no wings. It was a round dark gray flat disc. It definitely lost a lot of height between first spotting the bright light and the flyover. 

I heard was some sort of humming like of a generator in the distance.
I don't know any disc shaped planes and all planes still have visible lights when they fly over me. I checked flight radar and there was no matching aircraft registered for that time period and flight path (west to east). Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Rectangle

Moline -- I saw two very bright lights about 3:30 AM in the east. I watched and they appeared to be moving. I am a commercial pilot and also an air traffic controller at (IL) airport and figured it to be the early morning flight from Peoria to Moline. But this was moving way too slowly for an aircraft and it was way too early for the 6 AM, flight. I watched as this object moved toward my location silently. It moved closer and appeared to be about 500 feet above ground level.

It flew directly over the top of my truck and continued northwest very slowly. I was so awe struck; I just watched in amazement and never thought of getting a camera. I told the guys at the coffee shop and they laughed. I asked an early sales rep in the store if she had seen anything strange. She replied "You mean like LIGHTS, yes, I saw them?"This object appeared rectangular and 300 yards long. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oneida On May 16, 2005, 3:30 AM, Joan comments, "My husband and I witnessed a rectangle of enormous size in 2009, sitting stationary on a ridge, in association with other UFO and Electromagnetic activity. It was revealed to us by a slight mist which emanated from an object slightly below it, which had displayed highly anomalous behavior. The mist started at the western edge of the object, and then moved horizontally to reveal its solid, gray structure.

Once the object was revealed in the wake of the mist, we were afforded a long, detailed view of it. It sat horizontally on the ridge, and was divided by perpendicular lines revealing five sections. It was a gun-metal gray, with no lights. Then the mist appeared at the eastern edge and moved back west, the rectangle disappearing in its wake." Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Indiana Lights

He sent me dozens of photographs of UFO that he has filmed over the last six months. As many as ten or more UFOs can be seen on some nights. They mostly hover but can be seen maneuvering, spin around, or go straight up. They usually come from the southeast heading northwest. Thanks to Richard Bondira

Kentucky Light

LEXINGTON On July 21, 2012, at 4 AM, four people saw a stationary light that looked like Venus. It was hovering, then moved northwest, and disappeared in the night sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Sphere

KANSAS CITY -- My partner and I stepped outside to smoke a cigarette before going to bed on July 8, 2012. I noticed the super brilliant Orange/Red spherical object just over the rooftop flying west. Orb/object was surrounded with a conical iridescence, possibly ionization from the atmosphere, which varied in shape aft of the object.

  Initially the object was the size of a "BB" held at arms length. Altitude was 30-40,000 feet and moved too slowly to be meteoric and too low to be a satellite. I have uploaded my Photo Shop rendering of the object.

New Hampshire

Meredith On July 17, 2012, severe storms moved through Belknap County and decided to chase them to take pictures and videos. At 7:15 pm I drove up Corliss Hill facing south and took video of the storm. Later when viewing the videos on July 21, frame-by-frame to capture lightning images something caught my eye on the video.

It started on the left of the mid screen of the sky on the video; a dark grayish cylinder shape objects flying at an angle towards the top of the video. Four frames were caught. Frame by frame shows the cylinder object. The only explanation I have is that I caught a UFO on my camera. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Weird Scaring and Discs

OCEAN COUNTY -- Weird things have been happening on the 15th of July 2012, when I woke up with a sore jaw. On July 16th I was going to take a shower and noticed a scar on the inside of my belly button. I remember waking up and being surprised I was sleeping in the car. I need someone to help me figure this out. The same thing happened to my mom, but she seen figures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

NESCO -- Driving down a back road in the Pine Barrens, my girlfriend and I saw two glowing disc-shaped objects/lights about 7 to 10 inches in diameter. They came into view from far upper right and descended to four feet off the ground on July 16, 2012. During the descent, they closed from ten feet apart to headlight distance apart. They seemed to be spinning, moving rapidly toward the car at automobile speed. Then when I thought I was about to hit a ghost car head on and went for the brakes, these lights seemed to go through the car, leaving a physical and mental feeling that I really hit something (or more like it went through us). It felt like a wave went through our bodies and almost felt like we died for a second.

Ive been trying to find any sort of logical explanation, but I have nothing. Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Lights

APEX -- My friends and I were setting off fireworks in a parking lot. One of my friends pointed to the sky and we all saw three lights in a perfect triangle formation. The triangle appeared to be rotating off-axis silently. The triangle stayed in the same spot for about five minutes and then started slowly moving. Each light slowly disappeared. The lights were orange, but changed to blue and red a couple times. Ten other people saw this and none of us could explain it. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Ohio Light

COLUMBUS On July 28, 2012, first it was looking like a small star going in a straight line and suddenly started glowing orange and yellow. It had a strange glow that changed colors and then after a couple of minutes it just vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Disc

PORTLAND On Saturday evening, July 7, 2012, I was shooting some jet airliners, I caught something special.

Three photos were shot within 23 seconds of each other. Just what graced my photo in # 3? I enhanced brightness with paint shop to bring out 'object. What do you think? Cosmic Connection [ mailtUFOtvshow@hotmail.com]

 Pennsylvania Lights

Gap -- Last night, July 29th, 2012. I was traveling eastbound on US Route 30. I was driving when I saw 6-7 large "fireballs" traveling towards me. I knew pretty quickly these were not airplanes, due to how they were grouped together and I have been in this area for 12 years and I am accustomed to the airplanes that travel in this area. They were a bright burning red color that was constant that did not dim or flash.

I pulled over on the side of the road and began filming with my IPhone 4GS. The first four were traveling in two pairs and the others were traveling in singles behind. The objects started to align in a triangle, then a straight line before disappearing. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Triangle

Shamrock -- I put Travis County and Austin in the location fields of the form at the request of the field investigator (Robert Powell). A friend who attended college picked me up on November 20, 2000. It was at dusk near I-40 when I noticed the object moving northeast. As we got within two miles it was crossing the highway ahead of us, and we could tell that it was moving very slowly.

We saw it was not a conventional aircraft, and had blue lights at each point of the triangle. The lights were steadily glowing as it flew by at 35 mph, at 1,000 feet in altitude. We had never seen anything like it before. It was probably 400 yards across at least. Other people in cars were standing outside watching. We eventually lost sight of it. I found this picture that is similar but the object we saw was much larger. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Utah Cylinder

SALT LAKE CITY Mothership videotaped over city on July 13, 2012. A cylinder shaped object was seen over the city once again.

Every few years one is observed.

Virginia Flying Object

Winchester -- I took this picture of some old cars on a new used car lot that has collectible cars on May 25, 2012. It was not until later that I noticed the object in the top of the photo. I was looking through my phone pictures after I had downloaded them to the computer. That is when I noticed it. I guess the smaller screen on the Droid phone did not show it as clear. It appears to be something since it has shadows. There is also a weird white area to the left that maybe a trail.

Note: The object is likely an "out-of-focus" bird that is within the focal length of the camera. (Focus on camera was likely set to infinity.) Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Washington Flying Objects

Lakewood I saw two flying objects with glowing orange-yellow center orbs surrounded by a bright red neon slow pulsating triangular shape on July 28, 2012, at 10:10 PM.

The objects were identical and were traveling east towards Mt Rainier about 30 seconds apart. Both followed the same exact path at about 2,500 feet just below the cloud line. They flew up into broken clouds and disappeared into space. I have never seen anything of this magnitude.

Note: A check of weather observations showed that skies were overcast with the cloud bases at 3,400 feet. Visibility was 10 miles. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Worldwide Sightings

Australia Disc

Sydney A video was taken of UFOs over the city.

This massive sighting was captured on July 16, 2012, from 1 Pm to 2 Pm.

Thanks to Migdalia Santiago... 

Masive UFO invasion.Over Sydney.Australia.16.7.2012.episode.1.watch all episode.

UFO sightings in Australia are on the rise, and international studies indicate a growing number of 'closet believers' of extraterrestrial life, according to people who track such phenomena. But people who come forward to report sightings are still pilloried by much of society.

The issue emerged again last week after a video of an alleged UFO sighting over the NSW south coast was posted on YouTube and raised a few skeptics eyebrows.

It was no surprise to UFO investigator Doug Moffett, who has been delving into the authenticity of sightings across Australia for more than 20 years.

"Thats the way it is usually treated in the media - like this fun topic to laugh at, rather than being treated as a scientific possibility," the Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying.

Moffett, part of the UFO Research NSW group, pointed to the fact that there were an estimated 100 billion stars in our galaxy and planets that were billions of years older than ours as reason enough to validate the search for extraterrestrial life.

"What Im trying to achieve is for people to not knee-jerk dismiss things," he said.

Central Coast grandmother Jane Pooley hardly fits the stereotype of a UFO believer. But the 51-year-old says she saw one last week.

She described watching a craft with rotating lights moving silently above Brisbane Water, near where she lives - an area recognized as one of Australias UFO hotspots.

Canada Orbs

TORONTO -- Attached is one of consecutive pictures I took from my IPhone on February 20 2012 at 4:09 PM. In the picture there is a light "figure." The figure is also in the first one. I hope you find them interesting.

Note: The object is a bird. Readers may wonder why post IFO (Identified Flying Object) reports? The intent is to show the full spectrum of reports that we receive. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

China Smoke

Li Hue, a tourist, said she saw a luminous flying object hovering low in the sky at 3:42 pm on Sunday in July when a photographer was taking her picture at a viewing platform in the park. Li was quoted by Harbin Daily as saying she looked back after taking a picture and saw a floating, shiny object. But the flying object was taken in a picture by Wu Chunyan, who also saw the UFO. The photo clearly shows a luminous object. Workers Sun Yan and Li Hui also saw the UFO on Sunday. Sun Li, a forest worker witnessed a bright object with gaseous columns on both sides, at around 8 pm the same day.

Skeptical of the reports is Zhu Jin, curator of Beijing Planetarium, who has been studying UFO reports for years. He said he believes that the flying object was a winged insect as he saw the wings. Harbin Daily reported that the photographer used "forced flash" when taking the picture, meaning the camera's flash was used despite strong lighting in the background.

Last year, worker Meng saw a UFO land on the hillside. He said, "I was suddenly pushed back (when I got close to the object) just as if I was receiving an electric shock. Meng said, "I saw a being from outer space and as it got closer, my house became extraordinarily bright who looked just like us human beings". "It pushed me quickly and then ran out."Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldUFOphotos.org,

Italy Orb

Maniago On July 26 2012, at 10 pm, I was sitting in the yard sky gazing when I saw a bright orange/red light which looked like a greeting card image of a star. I looked through 8x binoculars and instead of rays, it seemed to be surrounded by an orange haze. The haze seemed to be circular but off centered and appeared to slowly rotate. The object was slowly moving towards me. After another minute it slowly dimmed and went out. In the binoculars I could still see a faint orange haze for another 2 minutes but not visible to the naked eye. I took two videos of the sighting using a simple Cannon A1200 Power Shot digital camera.

New Zealand Letter and Photo

South Pacific -- Rick Pinfold writes, "Our research continues and our focus is now on, not the plethora of all manner of contact, be it visual, photographically obtained, and lets not forget neural access awareness...all manner of cognitive instances....but something that we are now becoming aware of...our own Bio abilities and limitations." We are currently engaged in the investigation, into a whole diverse departure, from the blinkered approach of HOW we are able to see and not see, sense and not sense the things and events that tend to leave the experiencers, "Like possums caught in a car`s headlights".

Sure, youre not seeing things, but why do "They" look so different in optical behavior, i.e., sharpness, sometimes in"2D", or visible in only one frame of a fast video sequence?

Our research reveals that it is not they that create these effects, but our own biological attributes, parameters and imitations. Don`t overlook our latent neural possibilities. We are onto that as well. Learn "About us" firstly, then we can devise, back-engineer the means, to "Take a proper look", at what we are all trying to know about. Best wishes to Major Filer and all who seek the knowledge.

Wenton On August 1, 2012, I went outside to take photo of stars and upon review of my photo I saw the strange object. I looked up and it was changing direction and going fast. 

Upon editing of images managed to make out proper outline and shape. I have the original NEF images of both pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Sweden Oval

Lund -- I was in the military service at that time. It was in January or February of 1979 and we were as scouts on a night mission and were in the countryside (Revenge), east of the city of Lund. We were six members of the scout group. We saw a very big oval sized object, which contained of a lot of small pulsating lights. It moved soundlessly and slowly moved from the first to the second Hurst. It was in the sky but it is hard to estimate the height of the UFO.

Some minutes after the UFO had disappeared, we saw a police car, in the middle of the night, in the countryside, drive by at high speed. Some days later I read in the Swedish newspaper that it probably was parts of a rocket - hmmm!!!!

UK Olympics UFO

LONDON

July 27, 2012, during opening of the Olympics this disc was photographed. Two live video feeds from London at the fireworks display of the opening of the Summer Olympics captured a UFO drifting in from the left over the stadium. One is the UK Telegraph, and the other is the Sky News feed.

The UFO appears to be a large disk, perhaps in the shape of a hat with an upraised brim, and also a thick pellet. It remains as a hat for the
longest time, but also changes shading, as it is largely without color, although the fireworks in the foreground are in brilliant color. Then there
is footage the next day which shows a helicopter approaching a thick oval craft from the left. As the copter approaches, the craft changes from
light to dark to light to dark as if shimmering. It is much larger than the copter, apparently.

Nick Pope, a 'UFO expert', formerly of the UK Department of Defense forecast correctly that a UFO or UFOs are likely to be seen
over the summer Olympics.
Why let us know they are there if they do not intend to help us Thanks to Gordon James Gianninoto http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2155885/Keep-eye-skies-saucers-Olympics-Games-warns-MoD-UFO-expert.html#ixzz1x7dZCbyy

I was sitting at my desk, pondering how I could get people interested in getting my work of the last thirteen years. I have put together a DVD of Filer's Files with hundreds of great photographs and UFO sightings.

Additionally, I have decided to include my book within the DVD that includes George Ritter's exciting abduction story by Linda Moulton Howe. Broadcaster David E. Twichell has also included much of his excellent dialog for a donation of only $50.

We also include a year's subscription. Please include your e-mail address and mailing address.
