Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.
This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

Ovni dans la presse - MAGONIE
Je ne sais si cela va apporter quelques chose de réellement intéressant, mais je vous communique ces deux "news" concernant des apparitions d'ovni :
(Gene and Chris present controversial UFO promoter Blake Cousins, who has posted hundreds of alleged UFO photos on a YouTube channel. This is an unforgettable episode where you may even wonder whether the guest will actually show up. We also feature active forum member Goggs Mackay as a guest panelist.)
Youtuber Sheilaaliens debunks UFO hoaxer Blake Cousins the owner of Thirdphaseofmoon Youtube Channel Blake Cousins tells everyone that he receives videos from all around the world... ok... so why those videos have the same sound fx ? This is laughable ! So, is Third Phase Of Moon user a faker and a lyer ? Yes. Do Third Phase Of Moon user make money from your credulity ? Yes So guys,don't subscribe to any of the following channels, which are all from Blake Cousins and thirdpharceofmoon. They get paid for every view and subscription on their channel. 1) Istareatthesun2012 2) thirdphaseofmoon 3) breakingnewsguy
This is from 8 mm film which does not have sound. Continue reading for information about what was covered during this meeting.
The official UFO Hearing held at the United Nations Special Political Committee on November 28, 1978 was undoubtedly one of the great milestones in the history of ufology, particularly when it comes to its recognition by key international institutions. While photos of this event have been published many times, I am not aware of any footage ever been shown in a UFO documentary or news story. Last week I received a box of old videos that had somehow gotten separates from the rest of my UFO collection, and while looking at the videotapes, I rediscovered one that had been given to me many years ago by the late Colman von Keviczky, the director of ICUFON (Intercontinental UFO Network) and veteran New York ufologist. The tape included raw footage of the UN UFO Hearing and press conference shot by Colman himself, who was a professional cameraman.
The footage you are about to see lasts 1:15 min. and begins with a shot of the hall of the Special Political Committee where the UFO Hearing was held; it then shows Dr. J. Allen Hynek addressing the delegates and you can see Prime Minister Gairy sitting behind the astronomer; the camera then pans over the tables where the delegates sit, showing many empty seats; back to Hynek and the screen where a montage of UFO footage (both films and still photos) prepared by Lee Spiegel for Hynek's Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) was shownbecause the camera was far from the screen and you can barely see the footage, we have edited it out; next you'll see a second panelist addressing the committee, Lt. Col. Lawrence Coyne of the U.S. Army, who talked about his close encounter with a UFO on a Huey Army Reserve helicopter near Mansfield, Ohio, on October 18, 1973, during the peak of the 1973 American UFO wave. Gairy was careful to point out in his introduction that Coyne was speaking on his own behalf and not as a representative of the U.S. military.
Von Kevicky's camera then switches to the press conference, which happened right after the end of the morning session of the UFO Hearing and which, as opposed to the Special Political Committee, was packed. You see here the speakers' panel starting from the right with Grenada's Education Minister, Wellington Friday, who was the number two man for the Grenadian UFO initiative, Prime Minister Gairy, and Dr. Hynek smoking his pipethat itself shows how many decades have passed since the eventand then shows two of the other panelists, Dr. Jacques Vallee and Lt. Col. Coyne; the camera then pans quickly through the audience at the press conference, where I recognized my friend and long-time New York ufologist Mike Luckman wearing a yellow shirt; the film ends with close-up of Gairy and Wellington Friday.

In this next part of our Your Need to Know series, Antonio Huneeus examines RAND Corporations UFO document titled UFOs: What to do? The RAND Corp. was originally an outgrowth project of World War II called Project RAND. In May of 1948 it separated from the Douglas Aircraft Company and became its own independent, nonprofit organization.
George Kocher of the RAND Corporation published this document in November of 1968, a few months after the University of Colorado completed its Condon Report. The RAND Corp. document is broken into five different essays: Historical Aspects, Astronomical Aspects, The Character of Reports, Phenomenological Aspects, and How to Proceed and Why. These essays explore the types of reports and sightings, how they are categorized, and a list of hypotheses that exist surrounding the phenomenon. The document also provides an example of a detailed UFO report form developed by the University of Colorados study group.
Stanton Terry Friedman (born July 29, 1934) is a professional Ufologist who resides in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell incident. He studied physics at the University of Chicago and worked as a nuclear physicist on research and development projects for several large companies.

"Il faut agir rapidement pour réduire le nombre des débris spatiaux tournant autour de la Terre, qui risquent de polluer certaines orbites dans quelques décennies, ont estimé jeudi des experts internationaux à l'issue d'une réunion en Allemagne.
Morceaux de fusées, satellites en fin de vie, outils perdus par des astronautes... Ces objets sont les résidus des quelque 4.900 lancements effectués depuis le début de l'ère spatiale qui, sous l'effet de dislocations et collisions en chaîne, "le syndrome de Kessler", n'ont cessé de se multiplier.
Depuis 1978, "leur nombre a triplé" avec "un risque de collision démultiplié", avertit Heiner Klinkrad, directeur du département des débris spatiaux à l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA), lors d'une retransmission par internet.
"Il suffirait de quelques décennies pour qu'un tel environnement devienne instable", a-t-il souligné durant la 6e Conférence européenne sur les débris spatiaux, qui s'est tenue durant quatre jours à Darmstadt (Allemagne).
Plus de 23.000 débris de plus de 10 cm sont actuellement recensés par la Nasa ou l'ESA, dont la majorité sur les orbites basses (en dessous de 2.000 km) utilisées par les satellites d'observation de la Terre ou la Station spatiale internationale (ISS).
Quant aux objets compris entre 1cm et 10 cm, ils se comptent par centaines de milliers. Des fragments de taille apparemment inoffensive mais qui, lancés à une vitesse moyenne de 25.000 km/h, peuvent sérieusement endommager un satellite, soulignent les spécialistes.
Chaque année en moyenne, l'ISS est contrainte de réaliser une "manoeuvre d'évitement" pour échapper à une collision potentielle. Et selon l'ESA, une dizaine d'objets s'approchent à moins de 2 km d'un satellite toutes les semaines.
Zone la plus touchée: les orbites polaires situées entre 800 km et 1.200 km d'altitude, véritables autoroutes pour de nombreux satellites d'observation.
Pince, harpon, filet ou voile?
Or, si les lancements se poursuivent au rythme actuel et que rien n'est fait pour limiter le nombre de débris, le risque de collision pourrait à terme être multiplié par 25, selon les projections des agences spatiales.
Pire, même si on arrêtait net les lancements aujourd'hui, le nombre de débris continuerait à augmenter par le seul jeu de "l'effet Kessler".
Pour traiter le problème, il est nécessaire d'une part de placer systématiquement les satellites désactivés sur des voies de garage, où ils ne gêneront pas et finiront par se désintégrer dans la haute atmosphère terrestre.
Mais il faut aussi débarrasser l'espace des plus gros débris, au rythme de 5 à 10 objets chaque année si on veut stabiliser la situation.
"Il y a un consensus fort sur la nécessité urgente d'agir dès à présent pour commencer à enlever ces débris", a assuré M. Klinkrad à l'issue de la conférence de Darmstadt, qui a rassemblé quelque 350 acteurs de l'industrie spatiale.
Pour ce faire, l'ESA et d'autres agences spatiales étudient déjà diverses solutions pour dévier la trajectoire des débris vers l'atmosphère: bras robot, pince géante, moteur fixé sur le débris, harpon ou filet de remorquage, voire un canon à ions bombardant l'objet pour infléchir sa course.
Certains envisagent même de doter le débris d'une voile solaire qui ferait office de parachute pour le freiner et le contraindre à perdre de l'altitude.
Mais dans le meilleur des cas, ces "missions de nettoyage" ne rentreront pas en service avant une dizaine d'années.
Tout ceci aura bien sûr un coût, mais un coût bien inférieur à celui des satellites potentiellement détruits par des débris (100 milliards de dollars environ), dont nos sociétés modernes sont extrêmement dépendantes (télévision, télécommunications, etc.).
Les débris spatiaux présentent de nombreuses similitudes avec les déchets à la surface de la Terre ou dans les océans. Les prévisions sont entachées de nombreuses incertitudes, ce qui sert souvent d'excuse à une réaction tardive", relève Heiner Klinkrad.
Mais si nous attendons trop longtemps, les coûts et les risques vont considérablement augmenter", insiste le responsable de l'ESA."
Giant batch of Australian UFO Documents available for download (searchable)
Dear colleagues.
After the release of Valentich documents last summer, I was working to compile a complete collection of Australian UFO documents that are so far available in digital form. My good colleague Isaac Koi was also working on the same project with different method, and he just finished the collection. His PDF's are searchable.
More information and how to download the collection you can find in those links below:
Description of the project by Isaac Koi and additional companion pieces:
A letter dated 1st April 1957 from the Director of Air Force Intelligence to the Director of the Joint Intelligence Bureau which states that many UFO reports cover such mundane things as meteorological and astronomical phenomena but went on to say others appear to be inexplicable.

I feel the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation.
In special reports, this weeks files cover: Two Earth-like Exoplanets Found,"We Now Have the Technology to Take ET Home,"Alien Spaceship in Russia, Ancient Maps Hint at Aerial Surveys, andUKs Monuments to Space Ships.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Hungary, England in the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.
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.

NASAs Kepler mission has discovered a 5-planet system that includes a hot Mars and four super-Earths, two of which might host liquid water. These arent quite the Earth-like exoplanets Keplers been looking for, but theyre close.
An artist imagines what the Kepler-62 system might look like. The small shining object seen to the right of Kepler-62f is Kepler-62e. Orbiting on the inner edge of the habitable zone, Kepler-62e is roughly 60 percent larger than Earth.
NASA Ames / JPL-Caltech
In a system 1,200 light-years away, five small planets whizz around an orange star about two-thirds the size of our Sun. One of them is a hot Mars, a planet half the size of Earth that whips around the star every 12.4 days. Another two are hot super-Earths, completing orbits every 5.7 days and 18.2 days. But the final two are the ones that capture the imagination: half again the size of Earth and orbiting in the stars habitable zone, these worlds could be the pale blue dots weve been looking for.
Eric Agol, a University of Washington associate professor of astronomy, has identified Kepler 62f, a small, probably rocky planet orbiting a sun like star in the Lyra constellation. The planet is about 1.4 times the size of Earth, receives about half as much heat and radiation, as Earth and circles its star in 267.3 (Earth) days. Its one of two super Earth planets discovered in the star Kepler 62′s habitable zone, that swath of space the right distance from the star to potentially allow liquid water to exist on a planets surface, thus giving life a chance. A super-Earth is a planet greater in mass than our own but still smaller than gas giants such as Neptune.
Kepler 62′s other super-Earth, nearby 62e, is 1.61 times Earths size, circles the star in 122.4 days and gets about 20 percent more stellar flux than the Earth. The two are the smallest exoplanets planets outside the solar system yet found in a host stars habitable zone.
Eric Agol says, The planets this small that we have found until now have been very close to their stars and much too hot to be possibly habitable.This is the first one Kepler has found in the habitable zone that satisfies this small size. Kepler 62f is the smallest size and the most promising distance from its star, which by these measures makes it the most similar exoplanet to Earth that has been found by Kepler. Agol said,
While the sizes of Kepler 62e and 62f are known, Agol said, their mass and densities are not but every planet found in their size range so far has been rocky, like Earth.
Jan Harzan the California assistant state director for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) recounts his attending a1993, Ben Rich Lecture of the former president of the Lockheed-Martin Skunkworks in Palmdale, California.
During the UCLA Alumni association lecture Ben Rich who is known as the "Father of Stealth," and is recognized as one of the worlds best aircraft engineers led development of the heralded F-117 stealth stated, Lockheed-Martin then had the technology to travel to the stars using an entirely new technology not dependent on rockets and chemical propellants. He stated that, It would not take years to travel to other planets,some UFOs, are theirs and that some of them are ours.
Ben showed slides and went through the history of the Skunkworks, the U2, and SR-71 and showed a black disk headed for space stating, "We now have the technology to take ET home". During a Q&A, he stated, It was now possible to travel to the stars. There was an error in the equations which was corrected. The time of travel is fast, but he didn't say how fast. http://www.renseradioarchives.com/ Filer and Harzan
Alien Spaceship in Russia
Anfalov Anton, PhD writes an open letter in Russian and this translation may not be completely accurate.
To Coordinator "Kosmopoisk", Chairman of the Union of Russian UFO-BA Shurinovu,
To all ufologists:There is a multi-year cover-up of alien spaceships in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation (one) and United States of America (three)
Dear Vadim!
Back in the 1990s there was a little known, a military base near the town of Odintsovo in the Moscow region where the military and intelligence agencies have covered-up the investigation of the captured alien spacecraft. Odincovo let slip this data in a telephone conversation with me in the mid-to late 1990s. You and your colleagues have taken virtually no tangible and concrete actions or a detailed study and the final publication of this important data for the whole of Russia and the world of ufology.
KGB released photo of possible alien craft
My colleagues and I will put an end to your cynical criminal silence and inaction after years of hiding the truth about the alien ship. We are also aware of the three alien disks seized in the United States (two-discs in Arizona in May 1953 and another one in California in the summer 1967) and stored since the 1970s and still in the underground base at Area 12, Rainier Mesa, a Nuclear test site in Nevada.
With regard to the current Russian cover-up since the mid-1980s, an alien disk-UAV is in an underground bunker base at SRF-10-Odincovo that is now closed. This is the only extraterrestrial aircraft in storage and under study in the former Soviet Union and now Russia. Information about other alleged crashes is false. Im fully aware of the fact that after the publication of this information on the alien disk will likely cause it to be transported to a more distant place in the Urals. Concealment continues in secret from most of the leading Russian aerospace industry professionals who have the right to know about it!
They are hiding and exploring the unmanned extraterrestrial reconnaissance machine which was discovered and captured in Zagorsk region of Moscow, near the village of Nikulskoe and the arsenal at the landfill by engineering troops back in 1979, after falling into the gorge near power lines, for the "Blue" zone defense of Moscow.
Contrary to popular belief, this craft was NOT hit by a missile, and the disc did not shoot anybody, he fell himself as a result of a domestic accidents. The above is confirmed by numerous witnesses. In particular, corporal Krupin Viktor, who served with the MAS technician in the protection of Zhukovsky in the period 1981-1983. In 1982, I personally talked to the officer, who secretly photographed the rescue disk at the crash site on his personal camera. A cordon of soldiers stood near the 1263rd Engineering Corps arsenal Arsaki. KGB and Soviet Interior Ministry personnel cordoned off the crash site for a rescue disk. The disc was studied in the workshop of NIICHIMMASH (Research Institute of Chemical Engineering) http://readings.gmik.ru/lecture/2002-NIIHIMMASH
It passed the preliminary examination by experts in various fields at TSNIIMV (Central Research Institute of Materials), now-NPO "Composite." http://www.roscosmos.ru/main.php?id=37&pid=36
In the mid-1980s, after the full range of research and the weight of failed attempts to open the drive enclosure at the time of equipment in the USSR - the disc was hidden in a much more secure and isolated place. The alien disk was placed inside a new bunker underground room in 1986 or 1987 connected to the main building thru a tunnel in the southeastern part of the military base Odincovo of Vlasikha.
Scientists from different research institutions, including and from the NGO "Composite were brought to the bunker periodically mainly materials science.
The diameter of the disc is a small, 6-7 (max -8) meters, unmanned. Dome top and bottom - a small projection and 3 supports. Unfortunately the disc has not opened, and researchers do not have access to the interior and the equipment inside the drone has not been removed. Numerous methods were tried and extreme means were rejected in order to avoid the danger of destruction of the disc. Therefore, there has not been a special introduction of alien technology. The Americans with those things are better, because they have access to the inside of the two captured alien discs.
The U.S. has three alien-discs tucked away at the underground base at Area 12 near Rainier Mesa, Nevada Test Site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainier_Mesa/ In the summer disc was seized in the summer of 1967 just north of Edwards Air Force Base where it was originally, and hid in a hangar.
In Area 51 (Groom Lake) there are no aliens at all. The base-12 in the area is in the foothills - spur of Rainier Mesa and is much better equipped with the latest technology and well-financed from the "Black Budget" of the U.S. with the direct participation of the Lockheed corporation, CIA, U.S. Department of Energy, and NSA and other secret government military and the U.S. intelligence community. There is a super-secret lab there with an alien spaceship. Rainier Mesa is one of four major nuclear test regions within the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) shown here.
To sum up, I note the reality of the extraterrestrial civilizations with conclusive tangible evidence - not just at Area 12 in the Nevada nuclear test site in the United States, but some specialists now SIC RKT , TSNIIMV (now NPO "Composite"), some soldiers and members of the Strategic Missile Forces Base Odintsovo-10 (Vlasikha). Employees of the former KGB and current FSB, hiding and studying for many years captured alien disc.
The US has three alien discs with participation of corporations "Lockheed", "Monsanto", "North American", "Konv"yr", "Boeing Phantom Works" and many others. The list of companies and organizations involved in the United States is very long (Indian Head Division-Navy DOD Center for Energetics, Maryland; North American Air Force Plant No. 85 - Columbus, Ohio - Naval facility); and more, Etc.
America has eight bodies of aliens while the Russians have only one disk-drone.
I propose on behalf of the "Kosmopoisk" and UFO-Russia Union with a proposal to the higher authorities of the Russian Federation - to address a proposal to the leadership of the United States of America - the joint and simultaneous removal of declassification and on a review of the world community in the Russian Federation and the United States.

There are a series of ancient maps that have turned up at various places around the world such as in China and Turkey that suggest the Earth once held an advanced civilization or that we had been visited by extraterrestrials. Scholars have been able to dismiss most of the evidence has mere myth, but some evidence cannot be dismissed and should be examined with an open mind.
For example, The Piri Re Map dated from 1513 Turkey was only rediscovered in 1929, but its authenticity, has been established. The pre-modern world map compiled in 1513 from military intelligence by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis. It shows the coasts of Africa and South America as well as an essentially mountainous Antarctica without the layer of ice that now exists. We also know that Navy personnel who also make maps realized the map these ancient maps had to have been compiled by their kind of people dedicated people.
Navy experts believe the ancient maps were the result of aerial surveys. It's unlikely they had satellite style surveillance, but may have used something along the lines of operations conducted from prehistoric aircraft carriers! They also recognized ancient space travelers might have been responsible. Knowing the correct shape of Antarctica without an ice covering suggests time travel, or penetrating radar and aerial reconnaissance in the ancient past.
UKs Monuments to Space Ships
Throughout England there are archeological structures carved in the soil that have a similar cylinder shape to UFOs and size and are known as a cursus. They are called cursus because they thought they were race tracks. Cursus was a name given by early British archaeologists to the large parallel lengths of banks with external ditches which they thought were early Roman athletic courses, hence the Latin name cursus, meaning "course". Cursus monuments are now understood to be Neolithic structures and represent some of the oldest prehistoric monumental structures of the British Isles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursus - cite_note-0 some 3500 years old and built before the circular Stonehenge. Many are over a mile long and the distance between the dug parallel earthworks (shown here) can be up to 100 meters that consists of a bank with an external ditch. They are often aligned next to pre-existing long barrows or prehistoric earth mounds used to bury the dead.
The Cursus monuments are often built over rough terrain crossing streams or valleys. Cursuses became a subject of study when many of them were discovered through aerial photography, and curiosity was piqued as to what their purpose might be. Finds of arrowheads at the terminal ends suggest archery and hunting were important to the builders. It has been conjectured that Cursus were used in rituals connected with ancestor worship, and that they follow astronomical alignments.
It is my theory the Cursus were built over rough terrain as to mark the position of the huge alien Motherships like the one I chased while in the US Air Force. The Cursus may outline the crafts landing field. The cylinder shape and size match the monuments on the ground as well as the long burrows. Thousands of man hours of work were needed to build the outline to imitate the Motherships who often launch disc shaped craft. Stonehenge which was built later and hundreds of other stone and timber circles could imitate the discs.

Sightings in the United States
Arizona Lights
Yavapai desert -- I live within 15 miles SW of Seligman, Arizona and heard a noise under my trailer on September 10, 2011 at 7:45 PM. I thought it was an animal, so I grabbed my rifle and walked to the front of my trailer. I held my rifle in a position to shoot and saw a large flying object that appeared to be on fire. I lowered my rifle and watched this object fly by in slow motion. It was disc shaped with blue, green, orange, and yellow flames on the top with a tail.
I thought if it crashed it would be a very bad explosion but I didnt hear anything. This object was very quiet and low, so I grabbed my camera and started taking photos.
The next morning my friend called me and said, A ufo had been seen in Arizona, Nevada, and California. I noticed little red spots in the photos and so enlarged them; to my surprise I captured many lights that looked like the uss Enterprise. It flew over the mountains going toward Seligman.

Santa Rosa -- I was just pulling into my driveway, when I noticed this bright light to my left. I took my cell phone and snapped these photos on December 10, 2010. The light was traveling pretty fast and heading northwest. I got out of my car and walked to the right side of my garage (see photo) to my walkway and I looked up to see if I could see it and it was gone. I would say all in a matter of a few minutes it flew across the sky. Please let me know when you get these photos and what you think?
Note: The moon was not visible at the time of the sighting. I also dont believe it was the Space Station because of the direction of travel (northwest) and the size. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
la grange -- While approaching the entrance to Fleming Meadows recreation entrance at Bonds Flat Road for a typical day of work I saw two large window panels reflecting sunlight from the rear of it on September 12, 2013. I could not take my eyes off of it as it was so blinding me. It was so bright it made me pull my truck off the road. The reflections giving off the light were reflecting the sun that was just coming up to the east over lake Don Pedro. It like a flying submarine and shaped like a bottle rather than any winged plane. It was panning left to right, moving up then down, slightly panning left to right so slowly it was bizarre to see its movement unlike any aircraft I have ever seen. I knew I was finally witnessing my first UFO and I was excited and trying to get my cell phone to turn on to snap shots. My iPhone was acting up and would not function. I could not even get my Ford Flex system to turn on the Bluetooth to make an emergency call. So I just anxiously continued to watch, I even started to cry a little and asked it to not go away. Please come back, but it did not listen to me.
I was able to make out what was described as a dark coal-colored wine bottle shaped cylindrical object moving slowly before disappearing to the southwest quickly. Thanks to MUFON CMS

BUNNEL -- This slanted beam of light is on our Moultrie m880 tree cam on April 20, 2013. It was 4 am, and there is nothing that could have reflected light around there.
You can see the times on the cam. Something had to trigger the cam also to start taking photos on our private camp off any highway with nothing but pine trees around.

Illinois Plane
My nephews wife saw a large military plane hover for about three minutes making no sound on April 22, 2013.
She had her cell phone and took a picture. She said it looked big and had six engines.... two pointing down.
Again it was silent. She went inside for a minute came out and it had gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Lights
MILLVILLE -- My husband saw something in the sky in the backyard on April 5, 2013. He saw orange red lights above the neighbors shed.
It passed over our house and looked like a wing when it passed over and covered the stars in the background behind it. Im not sure what we saw, but by the time we got to the front of the house it was in the distance and disappeared. During the whole time we saw the flying object there was NO sound. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Edison -- The picture was snapped on April 6, 2013, of a contrail above the area. Of course one could only speculate as to whether the contrail was caused by a stealth aircraft involved in some sort of covert encounter with the UFO.
I am only happy that I could actually take this photograph, and thus provide some sort of proof that this really happened. Encouraged by friends, I decided to share this with websites such as your own. In case you have some explanation to share, Ill be glad to hear your opinion.
Note: The anomalous lights in the photo are quite likely a lens flare and are not real objects.
I walked out my front door around 10 PM, on April 15, 2013, and walked down the driveway and turned around at the house and witnessed a golf ball shape very bright gold glowing orb over my house. It slowly rose up about 25 feet from the ground and paused for about two minutes and flew west very slowly. I thought it was some kind of bug but I knew it wasnt.
I was about 30 feet from the orb that about 40 feet northwest, blinked three and then disappeared. I saw the same situation happen when I was a child. But the orb was only 10 feet above the ground. It sat there for a few minutes then shot off upwards into the sky really fast. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Disc
DAYTON While watching my 5 PM news program, one of our reporters was outside reporting about our Fertilizer Storage Plants. In the background there was a UFO the kind that is round with the little tip sticking out on top and a little round silver ball looking thing that was real weird like heat was on the street around it. This was on our Channel 7 CBS, Dayton, Ohio.
Note: Anyone who knows if the TV footage of the April 18, 2013, 5 PM News Program of Channel 7 CBS TV station is available, please file a report. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
CLEVELAND I saw a massive glowing orb through my night vision camera on April 21, 2013.
I was able to video record and watched as it picked up speed - accelerated and vanished into space.
I recorded from my backyard about 9:59 PM.

Oregon Figure
Cannon Beach-- My boys and I were staying at the Schooner Inn on April 13, 2013, enjoying a bonfire on the beach. About 10:30 PM my oldest boy (13 years) noticed, and pointed out there was a figure illuminated and glowing that was traveling either along the shoreline in front of our hotel or out in the water. I caught site of it as it traveled past us and continued on down the beach. It made a sharp right angle turn onto the beach and continued on until it disappeared in the line of houses.
It appeared as a glowing human in form. Also remarkable was that it was traveling at perhaps 25 MPH and not bobbing up and down as you would expect a runner to be. There were others in our hotel standing on their decks and pointing. Another couple came out and said they had seen it as well. We saw no indication that it was a beam of light. It was going too fast and too steady with its whole form a glowing white light. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Disc
Llano -- I took a picture two years ago and it keeps haunting me because of what turned up in when I reviewed the picture days later on September 18, 2011. First off, I completely believe we are not alone in this universe.
I was out hunting with my friends and because there was no action that day we decided to go out by the pond and do some skeet shooting. I take lots of pictures so this event was something I wanted to capture for my memory book. When I reviewed the pictures after I got home one caught my eye and I could have sworn there is a huge flying disk in the sky and it freaked me out because it looks so real. I did not see it in the sky at the time I took the picture and it does not appear in any of the other pictures I took at that location. I have not tampered with it in anyway. I wanted to submit the picture to you guys for review. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia White Lights on Unique Object
Richmond I dropped my husband off at the Richmond Airport and I was returning home on March 1, 2013. I just left the airport and was driving on Richmond Airport Connector Road when I saw what I thought was airplane light. It was too early in the morning for a plane to be flying.
As I continued to watch the plane I figured it was a private jet servicing one of the companies in the area. As I watched the object it stopped, and a bright light was shining down. So now I figured that the object must be police and they were looking for something.
As I came up on the object, now on my right side, I noticed that it was an object that I had never seen. It was hovering over the trees, but there was no sound and the trees did not move. The object was a round cylinder; the inside was hollow except for two cylinders that went thru the middle. Half way thru these two cylinders split and made a "V" shape. I was near the object for about a minute, and then the object took off to the northeast.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke to the witness who was quite sincere. Her description of the object was so precise and objective; we suspect that she is a very good witness. PD)) Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
Washington Hovering Object
Graham 1 -- I was driving from the store and I remember seeing the lights a week ago on April 16, 2013. A couple nights ago it wasnt there.
I thought it was an airplane, but it was NOT moving when I drove past it. The UFO was hovering about 150 feet in the air over trees that are at least 100 feet high. The thing had two or three lights making it impossible to miss. It looked like a future helicopter from a war movie with two engines making it hover.
When I noticed it wasnt a plane, I couldnt stop staring at it. My grandma was also freaking out so it wasnt just me. I drove down my road to my house with the trees covering the sight of it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Argentina Orb
Photographing the sky I saw this foreign object that would seem to be an unknown vessel above northwest Argentina.
I saw it from 12 noon until 16:00 hours in the south on April 18, 2013. Maybe there were two-still in the sky.
Nobody else seems to see them? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Australia Oval
Logan A black object was seen near a flock of birds looking like floating paper but was too big and then proceeded to move straight and fast on April 9, 2013, at 4:14 PM. This strange shape was around a flock of birds and I noticed it was bigger than the birds. The object seemed to move left to right as if it were a big plastic bag moving through the sky. But then it moved in a straight line and moved quicker.
It was oval in shape but had an indent on the side. The object was about three times the size of one of the birds in the flock nearby. The object was black as seen under a blue afternoon sky. The object headed east from the sighting area. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
Canada Disc
BRITISH COLUMBIA -- I was walking home with a friend and the bright orange light caught our attention on April 20, 2013. I was curious at first then quickly realized this was not normal. It moved vary slow laterally then picked up speed moving up and then down then disappeared. It lasted about a minute and a half. The light was larger than any light that would have been on a plane or helicopter, and the wrong color. We are past Chinese New Year, so I don't think it was a lantern since it was too big and too high. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Hungary Light
Kecskemét On April 16, 2013, my girlfriend and I watched out the roof-window while the light lit up very brightly on the evening deep blue faded sky. We thought it was a meteorite of some kind, because the light was like a strong welder from a distance. It traveled exceptionally slowly to the southeast without blinking, but the shape of the light was oval. Since the roof top window is inset the observation lasted only for seconds just before the light moved out of our eye sight.
I instantly ran to the other window but I was unable to find the lightning anymore, however by looking at the speed and trajectory, it should be visible for a long while, but it was gone.
I pointed to the sky showing my girlfriend an airplane crossing this trajectory, even higher it was so faded and the blinking lights, and also the long trail was visible quite clearly. I believe we saw a UFO here. Some years ago I saw one, but nobody except me watched the sky. I was unable to show the others. Strange thing is that it happens and much of the people around us never saw them. Its almost like most of the people are simply blinded or what. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Orbs
CROYDON -- I have seen a round object with white blaze coming out taking off from a distance of about three miles on April 8, 2013. Initially I thought it was fireworks, and then realized its something unusual. It was taking off and going above me at a 40 degree angle.
I realized it wasnt fireworks and took my phone out and was able to capture a video of only 21 seconds as my mobile battery got dead. But I saw it go up for further 10-15seconds. I know there is no airport near so it can't be an airplane taking off. It can't be firework as it was going up with relatively less speed and lasted really long.
I did not see it taking off from ground, when I saw it was already 30 to 40 feet above ground and it looked like it was taking off like a flight. I am not sure it was a UFO or not but it was not an airplane, not a toy, not a firework but something unusual. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Palm Uumeirah Is an island in Dubai where I live. I was by the beach with a friend and I saw something like 100 small planes moving together in a formation on April 8, 2013, at 11:35 PM. They were flying very close to each other at very high speed. They were green, red, and yellow colors that are planes, but the number was too large, and they were too close to each other. The planes where flying lower than them. They were flying very close to each other and sometimes they go above each other or under.
They were going up but split in different directions till they formed something like a very long irregular line. The security guard also ran to us and saw the whole thing. I tried to film with my insight phone but they were too far away for phone camera to capture them. However, I have a video for the incident. I work as a banker and my friend she is also a banker. The security guard is Egyptian, and my friend is Greek. They then disappeared in the sky, but it lasted for five minutes until they all disappeared.

I have retired from the police and I am launching a new online 84 page color bi-monthly magazine called UFO Truth Magazine.
The first issue is due out at the end of June. I've attached some promotional material.
I've attached my mission statement which basically states that this magazine is for all those people who believe that ET is engaging the Earth now. Clear and simple.
I've got a great line up of international and UK researchers to act as regular columnists.
The magazine website is now up and running and a free 9 page sample can be downloaded from there.
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.

Jupiters Moon Io: Volcanic Caldron of Lifeby Diane Tessman. Io, moon of Jupiter, has hundreds of volcanoes; its volcanic activity is 25 times that of Earth. However, there is a huge mystery: Concentrations of Ios volcanic activity are not where they are supposed to be based on models which scientifically predict how Ios interior is heated. NASA and the European Space Agency admit there is something about Io they do not know, something which makes absolutely no sense in the framework of information they have. More...
Saint George's Day: Slaying dragons or killing the truth?by Pat Regan. Any truly unbiased analysis of historical fact indicates that Saint George's Day is nothing more than a bogus Christian celebration, based on much earlier indigenous Pagan tradition.

How Does Obama fulfill the "deceiver" archetype?by Alfred Lambremont Webre. IBy the "deceiver" archetype, I refer to inter-personal, social, spiritual and exopolitical archetypes, not to any specific individual. The "deceiver" archetype refers to an archetypal social, spiritual, and exopolitical role that an individual may play in society. Some archetypes such as Antichrist and False Prophet are archetypes that have been set out in prophetic texts. Hermeneutics is the art of interpreting prophetic texts and hermeneuticists in the recent historical era have attempted to interpret to Revelations to frame Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolph Hitler, respectively, as fulfilling the prophesized archetype of the "Deceiver".

The possibility that we have been visited by entities from somewhere else in the universe, or at the very least, not from earth, seems very well assured in reviewing the rich history that New Mexico has in aerial sightings, verification by qualified military observers, and the covert involvement of the US government in numerous secret programs that compel us to accept that there is an alternate reality that defies the official version of the truth!

Two Promising Places to Live, 1,200 Light-Years From Earth
Astronomers said Thursday that they had found the most Earth-like worlds yet known in the outer cosmos, a pair of planets that appear capable of supporting life and that orbit a star 1,200 light-years from here, in the northern constellation Lyra.
They are the two outermost of five worlds circling a yellowish star slightly smaller and dimmer than our Sun, heretofore anonymous and now destined to be known in the cosmic history books as Kepler 62, after NASAs Kepler spacecraft, which discovered them. These planets are roughly half again as large as Earth and are presumably balls of rock, perhaps covered by oceans with humid, cloudy skies, although that is at best a highly educated guess.
Nobody will probably ever know if anything lives on these planets, and the odds are that humans will travel there only in their faster-than-light dreams, but the news has sent astronomers into heavenly raptures. William Borucki of NASAs Ames Research Center, head of the Kepler project, described one of the new worlds as the best site for Life Out There yet found in Keplers four-years-and-counting search for other Earths. He treated his team to pizza and beer on his own dime to celebrate the find (this being the age of sequestration). Its a big deal, he said.
Looming brightly in each others skies, the two planets circle their star at distances of 37 million and 65 million miles, about as far apart as Mercury and Venus in our solar system. Most significantly, their orbits place them both in the Goldilocks zone of lukewarm temperatures suitable for liquid water, the crucial ingredient for Life as We Know It.
Goldilocks would be so jealous.
Previous claims of Goldilocks planets with just so orbits snuggled up to red dwarf stars much dimmer and cooler than the Sun have had uncertainties in the size and mass and even the existence of these worlds, said David Charbonneau of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, an exoplanet hunter and member of the Kepler team.
This is the first planet that ticks both boxes, Dr. Charbonneau said, speaking of the outermost planet, Kepler 62f. Its the right size and the right temperature. Kepler 62f is 40 percent bigger than Earth and smack in the middle of the habitable zone, with a 267-day year. In an interview, Mr. Borucki called it the best planet Kepler has found.
Its mate, known as Kepler 62e, is slightly larger 60 percent bigger than Earth and has a 122-day orbit, placing it on the inner edge of the Goldilocks zone. It is warmer but also probably habitable, astronomers said.
The Kepler 62 system resembles our own solar system, which also has two planets in the habitable zone: Earth and Mars, which once had water and would still be habitable today if it were more massive and had been able to hang onto its primordial atmosphere.
The Kepler 62 planets continue a string of breakthroughs in the last two decades in which astronomers have gone from detecting the first known planets belonging to other stars, or exoplanets, broiling globs of gas bigger than Jupiter, to being able to discern smaller and smaller more moderate orbs iceballs like Neptune and, now, bodies only a few times the mass of Earth, known technically as super-Earths. Size matters in planetary affairs because we cant live under the crushing pressure of gas clouds on a world like Jupiter. Life as We Know It requires solid ground and liquid water a gentle terrestrial environment, in other words.
Kepler 62s newfound worlds are not quite small enough to be considered strict replicas of Earth, but the results have strengthened the already strong conviction among astronomers that the galaxy is littered with billions of Earth-size planets, perhaps as many as one per star, and that astronomers will soon find Earth 2.0, as they call it our lost twin bathing in the rays of an alien sun.
Kepler and other experiments are finding planets that remind us more and more of home, said Geoffrey Marcy, a longtime exoplanet hunter at the University of California, Berkeley, and Kepler team member. Its an amazing moment in science. We havent found Earth 2.0 yet, but we can taste it, smell it, right there on our technological fingertips.
A team of 60 authors, led by Mr. Borucki, reported the discovery of the Kepler 62 planets on Thursday in an article published online in the journal Science and at a news conference at Ames.
As if that werent enough, a group led by Thomas Barclay of Ames and the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute also reported the discovery of a planet 1.7 times as big as Earth hovering on the inner, warmer edge of the Goldilocks zone of Kepler 69, a star almost identical to the Sun, 2,700 light-years distant. At the news conference, Dr. Barclay described the planet as perhaps a Super-Venus. The groupspaper was published on Thursday in The Astrophysical Journal.
And in another paper submitted to The Astrophysical Journal, a group led by Lisa Kaltenegger of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, in Heidelberg, Germany, took the first stab at trying to model conditions on the Kepler 62 planets. That is a tough job because the system is too far away for astronomers to measure the masses of these planets, which would allow the densities and compositions of the planets to be pinned down, or to inspect and analyze their atmospheres with telescopes.
Scaling up from the properties of the Earth, Dr. Kaltenegger and her colleagues concluded that both of them were probably ocean worlds with humid, cloudy skies. Any life on them would probably be aquatic, she said, but it might even be cooler life than we have here. Looking at the oceans, we find a lot of interesting life-forms there.
Dr. Kaltenegger said she envisioned the pair as a kind of Darwinian test tube and wondered in an e-mail if life would evolve on both worlds and, if so, Would life evolve the same way or would there be very different life?
This is huge for the overall life-elsewhere question, said Sara Seager, a planetary expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was not part of the work.
Alan Boss, a planetary expert at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and a member of the Kepler team, called the new results the capstone of the Kepler mission. I would argue, he said in an e-mail, that if this was all that we learned from Kepler, that the cost of this mission was justified.
Kepler, launched in March 2009, hunts planets by staring at 150,000 stars in a patch of Milky Way sky, monitoring their brightnesses and looking for blips caused when planets pass in front of their home stars. To date the spacecraft has identified 115 planets and has a list of 2,740 other candidates. (Over all, the worlds astronomers now know of almost 1,000 exoplanets.)
But Kepler, which had its mission extended for four years last spring, is only now coming into its prime. A minimum of three blips is required to register a planet, and so planets like the Earth that take a year to make an orbit are only now coming into view in the Kepler data. Indeed, the new Kepler 62 planets each registered just three transits, as they are called.
But there is a hitch, Dr. Seager and others cautioned. Because the Kepler stars are all so far away hundreds or thousands of light-years and the planets we want to find are so small, astronomers will never be quite completely sure what any particular planet is made of or whether anything can or does live there.
In the case of Kepler 62, said Natalie Batalha of San Jose State University, a Kepler scientist, the astronomers had determined the composition of the new planets by comparison to three earlier objects that had similar sizes and turned out to be rocky.
Mass by association, Dr. Batalha called it in an e-mail.
Which is fine if all you want is the statistics of the cosmos. As Dr. Seager pointed out, Kepler was not designed to tell us which planet to go live on, only how common Earth-like planets are.
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: April 18, 2013
A headline on an earlier version of this article misstated the distance of the newly discovered planets from earth. They are 1,200 light-years away, not 12,000 light-years away.
Brazilian Ministry of Defense establishes a channel of communication with UFO researchers unique in the world - MUFON EUROP
Important information
Brazilian Ministry of Defense establishes a channel of communication with UFO researchers unique in the world
For the first time in history a Ministry of Defense of a country has officially invited UFO researchers to discuss the UFO Phenomena, how to handle its investigation and the information it may come from it. The meeting happened last April 18 at the Brazilian Ministry of Defense building, in Brasilia, the Federal Capital, and over 20 people took part of it.
On behalf of the minister of Defense, Ambassador Celso Amorim, his Secretary Ari Matos Cardoso and his associates received the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers (CBU) members to discuss the subject. Present at the meeting, that lasted some 75 minutes, were also present several representatives from the Brazilian Air Force, Navy and Army, all subordinated to the Brazilian Ministry of Defense, and who were asked to fully comply with the ufologists requests.
The meeting is a direct reply to the Iguassu Falls Letter, issued during the 4th World UFO Forum, that happened last December 2012 in Iguassu Falls. In the document, signed by nearly 30 speakers from over a dozen countries and some 600 people attending the conference, it is formally requested to the Brazilian Ministry of Defense that all UFO secret archives are disclosed and an official committee for UFO investigations is created under the Brazilian Air Force. It is on its way now!
The Iguassu Falls Letter is the latest step of the well-known and very well succeeded campaign UFOs: Freedom of Information Now, created by Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers (CBU) through the Brazilian UFO Magazine, and has so far resulted in the disclosure of approximately 4,5 thousand pages of previously classified UFO documents by the Brazilian Government.
I am very happy to announce this information to the entire World UFO Community, as it is the result of my colleagues and mine efforts at the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers (CBU) to make the UFO Phenomena a clear and public issue in Brazil. The Brazilian UFO disclosure is a direct result of our strategies in the last years, through the above mentioned campaign, and the Brazilian Ministry of Defense meeting is a recognition of it.
In the photo aboive, Brazilian UFO Magazine editor A. J. Gevaerd explains to the Military present at the meeting the objectives of the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researcher (CBU) and requests the creation of an official entity for UFO investigations under the Brazilian Air Force. The note below was published at the Brazilian Ministry of Defense official website as a proof of recognition of the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers (CBU) efforts.
Ministry of Defense Receives Ufologists to Discuss Documents on UFOs
Brasília, April 18, 2013 Members of the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers (CBU) and members of the Armed Forces met this Thursday afternoon at the Ministry of Defense (MD)s headquarters to discuss access to military documents on reports of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).
The meeting was a follow-up to a previous gathering earlier this month, when the Ministry discussed administrative procedures in response to a request for information delivered by over 30 Brazilian speakers during the 4th World UFO Forum, promoted by the Brazilian UFO Magazine (www.ufo.com.br).
At the Forum, a decision was made to the effect that all documents under the responsibility of the Navy, the Army and the Air Force pertaining to the subject should be made public, in accordance with the Access to Information Act (LAI).
During this Thursdays meeting, the UFO researchers reported their difficulties accessing documents classified as either secret or ultra-secret. Many questions remained unsolved about famous incidents such as the Varginha Case, the Mearim corvette incident and the Trindade Island sightings, says A. J. Gevaerd, Brazilian UFO Magazines editor.
The Secretary for the Ministrys Institutional Coordination and Organization, Ari Matos, declares that cases in which information is still not publicly disclosed are exceptions. The general rule is to make all documents accessible. Some cases still have to go through the legal deadlines, but that is an issue that will soon be resolved, he adds.
According to the Director of the MDs Organization and Legislation Department, Adriano Portella, the Defense has been making every effort to meet LAIs established deadlines as far as declassification and public exposure of documents is concerned. The Act determines a 2-year term, from the date of its promulgation, for the revision of information that has been classified as secret and ultra-secret, Portella explained. The job is being done, and the documents will be declassified within the legal deadlines.
According to Ari Matos evaluation, the meetings most important result was a mutual partnership established between the militaries and the ufologists. LAI has opened to the general public the possibility of accessing a great deal of information produced by the government. A regular means of contact must be created to suit the needs of both the UFO researchers and society in general, says the Secretary.
After the meeting with the militaries, the ufologists celebrated the initiative. Today is a Day to remember in the history of Ufology, said Fernando Aragão Ramalho, from UFO Magazine. Never before did a countrys Ministry of Defense summon Ufologists to a formal discussion about flying saucers, he celebrated. We are optimistically standing at the door that has been opened to us, and we expect to move forward with our discussions, Aragão says.

Arizona Lights
Yavapai desert -- I live within 15 miles SW of Seligman, Arizona and heard a noise under my trailer on September 10, 2011 at 7:45 PM. I thought it was an animal, so I grabbed my rifle and walked to the front of my trailer. I held my rifle in a position to shoot and saw a large flying object that appeared to be on fire. I lowered my rifle and watched this object fly by in slow motion. It was disc shaped with blue, green, orange, and yellow flames on the top with a tail.
I thought if it crashed it would be a very bad explosion but I didnt hear anything. This object was very quiet and low, so I grabbed my camera and started taking photos.
The next morning my friend called me and said, A ufo had been seen in Arizona, Nevada, and California. I noticed little red spots in the photos and so enlarged them; to my surprise I captured many lights that looked like the uss Enterprise. It flew over the mountains going toward Seligman. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Disc
Santa Rosa -- I was just pulling into my driveway, when I noticed this bright light to my left. I took my cell phone and snapped these photos on December 10, 2010. The light was traveling pretty fast and heading northwest. I got out of my car and walked to the right side of my garage (see photo) to my walkway and I looked up to see if I could see it and it was gone. I would say all in a matter of a few minutes it flew across the sky. Please let me know when you get these photos and what you think?
Note: The moon was not visible at the time of the sighting. I also dont believe it was the Space Station because of the direction of travel (northwest) and the size. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
la grange -- While approaching the entrance to Fleming Meadows recreation entrance at Bonds Flat Road for a typical day of work I saw two large window panels reflecting sunlight from the rear of it on September 12, 2013. I could not take my eyes off of it as it was so blinding me. It was so bright it made me pull my truck off the road. The reflections giving off the light were reflecting the sun that was just coming up to the east over lake Don Pedro. It like a flying submarine and shaped like a bottle rather than any winged plane. It was panning left to right, moving up then down, slightly panning left to right so slowly it was bizarre to see its movement unlike any aircraft I have ever seen. I knew I was finally witnessing my first UFO and I was excited and trying to get my cell phone to turn on to snap shots. My iPhone was acting up and would not function. I could not even get my Ford Flex system to turn on the Bluetooth to make an emergency call. So I just anxiously continued to watch, I even started to cry a little and asked it to not go away. Please come back, but it did not listen to me.
I was able to make out what was described as a dark coal-colored wine bottle shaped cylindrical object moving slowly before disappearing to the southwest quickly. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Beam
BUNNEL -- This slanted beam of light is on our Moultrie m880 tree cam on April 20, 2013. It was 4 am, and there is nothing that could have reflected light around there.
You can see the times on the cam. Something had to trigger the cam also to start taking photos on our private camp off any highway with nothing but pine trees around.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Plane
My nephews wife saw a large military plane hover for about three minutes making no sound on April 22, 2013.
She had her cell phone and took a picture. She said it looked big and had six engines.... two pointing down.
Again it was silent. She went inside for a minute came out and it had gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Lights
MILLVILLE -- My husband saw something in the sky in the backyard on April 5, 2013. He saw orange red lights above the neighbors shed.
It passed over our house and looked like a wing when it passed over and covered the stars in the background behind it. Im not sure what we saw, but by the time we got to the front of the house it was in the distance and disappeared. During the whole time we saw the flying object there was NO sound. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Edison -- The picture was snapped on April 6, 2013, of a contrail above the area. Of course one could only speculate as to whether the contrail was caused by a stealth aircraft involved in some sort of covert encounter with the UFO.
I am only happy that I could actually take this photograph, and thus provide some sort of proof that this really happened. Encouraged by friends, I decided to share this with websites such as your own. In case you have some explanation to share, Ill be glad to hear your opinion.
Note: The anomalous lights in the photo are quite likely a lens flare and are not real objects.
I walked out my front door around 10 PM, on April 15, 2013, and walked down the driveway and turned around at the house and witnessed a golf ball shape very bright gold glowing orb over my house. It slowly rose up about 25 feet from the ground and paused for about two minutes and flew west very slowly. I thought it was some kind of bug but I knew it wasnt.
I was about 30 feet from the orb that about 40 feet northwest, blinked three and then disappeared. I saw the same situation happen when I was a child. But the orb was only 10 feet above the ground. It sat there for a few minutes then shot off upwards into the sky really fast. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Disc
DAYTON While watching my 5 PM news program, one of our reporters was outside reporting about our Fertilizer Storage Plants. In the background there was a UFO the kind that is round with the little tip sticking out on top and a little round silver ball looking thing that was real weird like heat was on the street around it. This was on our Channel 7 CBS, Dayton, Ohio.
Note: Anyone who knows if the TV footage of the April 18, 2013, 5 PM News Program of Channel 7 CBS TV station is available, please file a report. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
CLEVELAND I saw a massive glowing orb through my night vision camera on April 21, 2013.
I was able to video record and watched as it picked up speed - accelerated and vanished into space.
I recorded from my backyard about 9:59 PM.

Oregon Figure
Cannon Beach-- My boys and I were staying at the Schooner Inn on April 13, 2013, enjoying a bonfire on the beach. About 10:30 PM my oldest boy (13 years) noticed, and pointed out there was a figure illuminated and glowing that was traveling either along the shoreline in front of our hotel or out in the water. I caught site of it as it traveled past us and continued on down the beach. It made a sharp right angle turn onto the beach and continued on until it disappeared in the line of houses.
It appeared as a glowing human in form. Also remarkable was that it was traveling at perhaps 25 MPH and not bobbing up and down as you would expect a runner to be. There were others in our hotel standing on their decks and pointing. Another couple came out and said they had seen it as well. We saw no indication that it was a beam of light. It was going too fast and too steady with its whole form a glowing white light. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Disc
Llano -- I took a picture two years ago and it keeps haunting me because of what turned up in when I reviewed the picture days later on September 18, 2011. First off, I completely believe we are not alone in this universe.
I was out hunting with my friends and because there was no action that day we decided to go out by the pond and do some skeet shooting. I take lots of pictures so this event was something I wanted to capture for my memory book. When I reviewed the pictures after I got home one caught my eye and I could have sworn there is a huge flying disk in the sky and it freaked me out because it looks so real. I did not see it in the sky at the time I took the picture and it does not appear in any of the other pictures I took at that location. I have not tampered with it in anyway. I wanted to submit the picture to you guys for review. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia White Lights on Unique Object
Richmond I dropped my husband off at the Richmond Airport and I was returning home on March 1, 2013. I just left the airport and was driving on Richmond Airport Connector Road when I saw what I thought was airplane light. It was too early in the morning for a plane to be flying.
As I continued to watch the plane I figured it was a private jet servicing one of the companies in the area. As I watched the object it stopped, and a bright light was shining down. So now I figured that the object must be police and they were looking for something.
As I came up on the object, now on my right side, I noticed that it was an object that I had never seen. It was hovering over the trees, but there was no sound and the trees did not move. The object was a round cylinder; the inside was hollow except for two cylinders that went thru the middle. Half way thru these two cylinders split and made a "V" shape. I was near the object for about a minute, and then the object took off to the northeast.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke to the witness who was quite sincere. Her description of the object was so precise and objective; we suspect that she is a very good witness. PD)) Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
Washington Hovering Object
Graham 1 -- I was driving from the store and I remember seeing the lights a week ago on April 16, 2013. A couple nights ago it wasnt there.
I thought it was an airplane, but it was NOT moving when I drove past it. The UFO was hovering about 150 feet in the air over trees that are at least 100 feet high. The thing had two or three lights making it impossible to miss. It looked like a future helicopter from a war movie with two engines making it hover.
When I noticed it wasnt a plane, I couldnt stop staring at it. My grandma was also freaking out so it wasnt just me. I drove down my road to my house with the trees covering the sight of it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Argentina Orb
Photographing the sky I saw this foreign object that would seem to be an unknown vessel above northwest Argentina.
I saw it from 12 noon until 16:00 hours in the south on April 18, 2013. Maybe there were two-still in the sky.
Nobody else seems to see them? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Australia Oval
Logan A black object was seen near a flock of birds looking like floating paper but was too big and then proceeded to move straight and fast on April 9, 2013, at 4:14 PM. This strange shape was around a flock of birds and I noticed it was bigger than the birds. The object seemed to move left to right as if it were a big plastic bag moving through the sky. But then it moved in a straight line and moved quicker.
It was oval in shape but had an indent on the side. The object was about three times the size of one of the birds in the flock nearby. The object was black as seen under a blue afternoon sky. The object headed east from the sighting area. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
Canada Disc
BRITISH COLUMBIA -- I was walking home with a friend and the bright orange light caught our attention on April 20, 2013. I was curious at first then quickly realized this was not normal. It moved vary slow laterally then picked up speed moving up and then down then disappeared. It lasted about a minute and a half. The light was larger than any light that would have been on a plane or helicopter, and the wrong color. We are past Chinese New Year, so I don't think it was a lantern since it was too big and too high. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Hungary Light
Kecskemét On April 16, 2013, my girlfriend and I watched out the roof-window while the light lit up very brightly on the evening deep blue faded sky. We thought it was a meteorite of some kind, because the light was like a strong welder from a distance. It traveled exceptionally slowly to the southeast without blinking, but the shape of the light was oval. Since the roof top window is inset the observation lasted only for seconds just before the light moved out of our eye sight.
I instantly ran to the other window but I was unable to find the lightning anymore, however by looking at the speed and trajectory, it should be visible for a long while, but it was gone.
I pointed to the sky showing my girlfriend an airplane crossing this trajectory, even higher it was so faded and the blinking lights, and also the long trail was visible quite clearly. I believe we saw a UFO here. Some years ago I saw one, but nobody except me watched the sky. I was unable to show the others. Strange thing is that it happens and much of the people around us never saw them. Its almost like most of the people are simply blinded or what. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Orbs
CROYDON -- I have seen a round object with white blaze coming out taking off from a distance of about three miles on April 8, 2013. Initially I thought it was fireworks, and then realized its something unusual. It was taking off and going above me at a 40 degree angle.
I realized it wasnt fireworks and took my phone out and was able to capture a video of only 21 seconds as my mobile battery got dead. But I saw it go up for further 10-15seconds. I know there is no airport near so it can't be an airplane taking off. It can't be firework as it was going up with relatively less speed and lasted really long.
I did not see it taking off from ground, when I saw it was already 30 to 40 feet above ground and it looked like it was taking off like a flight. I am not sure it was a UFO or not but it was not an airplane, not a toy, not a firework but something unusual. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Palm Uumeirah Is an island in Dubai where I live. I was by the beach with a friend and I saw something like 100 small planes moving together in a formation on April 8, 2013, at 11:35 PM. They were flying very close to each other at very high speed. They were green, red, and yellow colors that are planes, but the number was too large, and they were too close to each other. The planes where flying lower than them. They were flying very close to each other and sometimes they go above each other or under.
They were going up but split in different directions till they formed something like a very long irregular line. The security guard also ran to us and saw the whole thing. I tried to film with my insight phone but they were too far away for phone camera to capture them. However, I have a video for the incident. I work as a banker and my friend she is also a banker. The security guard is Egyptian, and my friend is Greek. They then disappeared in the sky, but it lasted for five minutes until they all disappeared.

I have retired from the police and I am launching a new online 84 page color bi-monthly magazine called UFO Truth Magazine.
The first issue is due out at the end of June. I've attached some promotional material.
I've attached my mission statement which basically states that this magazine is for all those people who believe that ET is engaging the Earth now. Clear and simple.
I've got a great line up of international and UK researchers to act as regular columnists.
The magazine website is now up and running and a free 9 page sample can be downloaded from there.
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.

Le défi des OVNI
N'était ce pas plutôt pour le ridiculiser ?
J'ai trouvé un article qui me semble intéressant sur la "méthode" Condon
Donald Menzel en discussion avec Edward Condon le 5 mars 1950. Document UCAR.
La méthodologie "Condon" (VI)
Les manifestations d'OVNI restaient un sujet sensible. En 1967, plusieurs bases de missiles stratégiques du Montana furent survolées par des OVNI : Minot, Great Falls et Malmstrom. Pour la première fois des ogives nucléaires furent déprogrammées sans raison apparente[44].
Devant l'insistance du public et du gouvernement, l'Université du Colorado releva le gant et passa officiellement un contrat avec l'Armée de lair le 6 octobre 1966. Ce contrat N° F44620-67-C-0035 stipulait que "Les rapports d'observations à étudier seront choisis par l'US Air Force".
L'enquête qui portait sur l'entièreté du phénomène OVNI depuis 1947 était confiée au professeur de physique Edward U.Condon. Il s'entoura de 36 professionnels, parmi lesquels le Dr Hynek, James McDonald et Carl Sagan, trois savants favorables à la vie extraterrestre, mais non moins rigoureux.
Mais des indiscrétions jetèrent un doute sur la bonne fin de l'enquête. Hynek apprit par ses amis que trois psychologues ne s'accordaient pas sur la matière à étudier. L'un d'eux considérait déjà que les gens "avaient simplement des visions" et refusait d'admettre qu'ils avaient pu observer un phénomène matériel inconnu jusqu'alors. Ainsi que le relatent D.Saunders et R.Harkins[45]dans le questionnaire qu'il proposait aux témoins, le psychologue réservait une page à la description du phénomène... et vingt pour décrire le profil psychologique du témoin. Soyons impartial et rappelons au lecteur que le Dr Saunders plaçait l'hypothèse extraterrestre au centre du débat, au point que dans son esprit, le public considérait que le terme OVNI était synonyme de visites extraterrestres...
Saunders réalisera toutefois un excellent travail, s'attaquant à l'encodage de toutes les notifications du "Blue Book" sur ordinateur, en vue de leur analyse ultérieure; au terme du programme cela représenta 30000 rapports (dont 1200 seront traités par Saunders). Saunders créa également des questionnaires types pour les témoins et des formulaires de notifications pour les enquêteurs. Il fut également chargé d'envoyer des équipes d'enquêteurs sur le terrain afin de valider les événements et d'essayer de les reconstituer. Condon le renverra cependant pour "incompétence", en réalité pour des raisons de dissensions personnelles, et il ne tint pas compte de ces résultats dans son analyse finale.
Alors que Jacques Vallée et Hynek prièrent la Commission d'utiliser la méthode statistique pour mettre en évidence des schémas globaux, communs à toutes les observations, la Commission Condon n'exploita que 87 rapports, dont 14 étaient déjà analysés dans le "Blue Book" et classés comme méprises... une sélection dérisoire qui ne correspondait pas du tout à l'image et à l'importance réelle du phénomène. Pour sa part, le Dr Saunders continua d'analyser les notifications sur ordinateur et finit par rassembler quelque 85000 observations, constituant l'une des plus grosses bases de données informatique sur le phénomène OVNI.
La méthodologie était au centre des débats. Dans un mémorandum[46]daté du 9 août 1966, Robert Low, doyen de l'Université du Colorado écrivait notamment que son établissement souhaitait conserver sa respectabilité : "L'astuce consisterait, à mon avis, à décrire le programme de telle sorte qu'il apparaisse au public comme une étude résolument objective tout en présentant, aux yeux de la communauté scientifique, l'image d'un groupe de sceptiques faisant son possible pour rester objectif mais avec une espérance quasi nulle de trouver une soucoupe". En apprenant la nouvelle, James McDonald écrivit un article dans le magazine Look[47]et le sénateur J.Roush, défenseur des OVNI, dénonça violemment à la Chambre des Représentants la malhonnêteté de l'équipe qui entourait le professeur Condon.
Le 26 janvier 1967, le journal Star-Gazette de l'Etat de New York publia une déclaration du Pr.Condon : "Je tendrais dès maintenant à recommander que le gouvernement abandonne l'affaire. Pour moi, je suis déjà persuadé qu'il n'y a rien là-dedans... mais je ne suis pas censé déposer mes conclusions avant un an encore. Peut-être son étude (celle du problème OVNI) serait-elle valable pour les groupes qui s'intéressent aux phénomènes météorologiques".
Deux mois plus tard Warren Rogers, éditeur du magazine "Look"[48]écrivit avec lucidité à propos de la mission confiée au Pr Condon : Il est peu probable que ses efforts soient couronnés dun prix populaire. Il expliquera trop à ceux qui veulent y croire et pas assez à ceux qui ny croient pas.
Mais W.Rogers croit encore à cette époque que Condon conduit cette quête de réponses, armé seulement de curiosité et de logique scientifique.
En fait, selon le Dr Saunders[49], Condon se préoccupait surtout des aspects farfelus du phénomène OVNI, se moquant gentiment des témoins crédules et des ufologues qui brillaient le titre de scientifiques : "Le psychologue que je suis en était profondément choqué. Peut-être avaient-ils besoin qu'on leur vienne en aide mais sûrement pas que l'on se moque d'eux. C'était comme si Condon avait perdu tout sens des perspectives et sacrifiait ces malheureux pour se débarrasser de ses propres frustrations... Il semble que dès qu'il estimait avoir assez ri d'un cas, il passait à un autre encore plus amusant..."
L'intervention de Condon discrédita complètement l'oeuvre de la Commission et son prestige aux yeux du public. Trois mois après la mise sur pied de la Commission d'enquête, Condon avait déjà trouvé la solution. Ses conclusions étaient tellement triviales qu'il demanda une rallonge de 259146 dollars quelques mois plus tard, qui s'ajoutaient au 313000 dollars initiaux, pour poursuivre une étude inutile...
On peut en rire aujourd'hui ou crier au scandale, mais comme le disait le Dr Hynek[50]en 1953: "La méthode scientifique n'a que faire du sarcasme, et il ne faut pas enseigner au public qu'il en est une partie intégrante...Le flot régulier des rapports, souvent rédigés de concert par plusieurs observateurs valables, soulève la question de l'obligation et de la responsabilité scientifiques. Demeure-t-il, une fois les divers rapports débarrassés des enjolivements et fioritures qui dissimulent avec art leur aridité foncière, un résidu digne de l'attention scientifique ? Et, dans la négative, le public ne doit-il pas en être averti - non pas avec esprit mais avec sérieux, afin de ne pas entamer la confiance publique dans la science et dans les savants ?"
On discutera encore longtemps de l'opinion des personnes "avisées", des "autorités en la matière" ou des "experts". Tous les débats reçoivent un jour ou l'autre de tels scientifiques à leur table, dont les déclarations, surtout en matière d'OVNI, sont préjudiciables à l'entretien d'un bon rapport entre la science et la société. Les propos de ces chercheurs sont souvent perçus comme faisant autorité dans le public. Pourtant, s'ils acceptent d'assister à ce genre d'émission, pour l'heure ils s'écartent délibérément des sciences - et du programme de recherche qu'ils conduisent professionnellement -, mais cela, le public n'en a pas conscience. Il recherche une réponse à ses questions et c'est donc au scientifique de définir les limites de sa démarche. Mais nous y reviendrons en détail lorsque nous discuterons de la philosophie des sciences.
En 1968, la Commission Condon était toujours sur pied, mais stagnant sur place, se perdant en conjectures sur quelques notifications mystérieuses, le physicien de l'atmosphère JamesMcDonald plaida pour que la NASA prenne une part active dans cette démarche scientifique.
Plusieurs ingénieurs des universités de Caltech, Harvard et MIT partageaient son opinion. Le Dr Hynek écrivit plus tard que parmi les notifications relatées dans le "Blue Book", il y avait "quelques cas intéressants, noyés dans un véritable flot d'élucubrations". A l'instar de ses collègues astronomes, il ne croyait pas à la réalité physique d'émissaires d'une civilisation technologiquement avancée, mais reconnaissait l'intérêt du sujet[51]: "s'il n'y a pas d'extraterrestre, eh bien ! nous touchons là à un domaine qui est aussi étranger et inconnu pour nous que l'était l'énergie nucléaire pour Benjamin Franklin". En bref, après avoir accumulé des preuves 20 ans durant, il plaidait en faveur de l'étude du phénomène OVNI.
Le Dr Hynek[52]était également conscient des polémiques que suscitait le sujet et du besoin de l'entourer d'une extrême rigueur. Il écrivit notamment ceci : "Je pense que l'Académie Nationale des Sciences reconnaîtrait sans difficulté qu'une méthodologie scientifique (et il souligne lui-même) doit se garder, en abordant un problème, de la partialité, des idées préconçues et du sarcasme... On ne doit jamais préjuger de la réponse à une recherche à un degré tel que cette anticipation en colore l'orientation. Chaque fois que j'ai eu le plaisir de rencontrer les membres et les associés du groupe d'étude de l'Université du Colorado, j'ai pu constater leur réelle objectivité...Par contre il en allait tout autrement du directeur du programme".
En 1969, un volumineux "Rapport Condon" de 1465 pages, richement commenté et illustré fut publié. Il contenait parmi d'autres annexes, unsondage Gallupsur lequel nous reviendrons. Soumis en lecture à l'Académie des Sciences, le rapport fut approuvé. Edward U.Condon[53]déclara dans l'introduction du document :
"Aucune grande priorité ne saurait être accordée [à la recherche sur les OVNI] au vu de l'analyse des données étalées sur deux décades d'investigations du phénomène. Nous sommes unanimes pour reconnaître que ce travail a été un effort honorable d'utilisation objective des techniques scientifiques appropriées pour trouver une solution au problème OVNI. Le rapport reconnaît qu'il reste des observations d'OVNI difficilement explicables. Néanmoins, le Rapport suggère tant de directions raisonnables et possibles dans lesquelles une explication pourrait être éventuellement trouvée qu'il semble qu'il n'y ait aucune raison de les attribuer à des causes extraterrestres sans preuves convaincantes. Le Rapport montre également les difficultés qu'il y a à appliquer avec quelque chance de succès des méthodes scientifiques à des observations éphémères. Si une étude de certains aspects du sujet (des phénomènes atmosphériques par exemple) peut être intéressante, celle des OVNI, en général, n'est pas une manière prometteuse d'améliorer la compréhension scientifique des phénomènes. Sur la base de nos connaissances actuelles, l'explication la moins probable est l'hypothèse qu'il s'agit de visites d'êtres extraterrestres intelligents. Notre conclusion générale est que rien ou pas grand chose n'est sorti de l'étude des OVNI au cours des 21 années écoulées qui aurait enrichi les connaissances scientifiques, et qu'une étude approfondie des observations d'OVNI n'est pas justifié".
Cette conclusion était fausse, car elle était fondée sur une minorité de cas. Elle était facilement démontrable si les responsables de la Commission avaient pris la peine d'investiguer dans le détail les 20 cas réellement inexplicables et, par-delà, les centaines d'autres qui n'avaient pas été étudiés. En excluant toutes les observations qui tombaient sous le sens commun, il restait quelques cas typiques qui demeuraient en désaccord avec les lois de la physique moderne. C'est ainsi que les "scientifiques" jugèrent un peu vite que le phénomène OVNI n'apporterait rien à la science.
L'Université du Colorado[54]considéra également que l'armée pouvait dorénavant ignorer le phénomène OVNI : "Il nous paraît [que porter] une si grande attention à ce sujet (les OVNI) ne devrait être considérée par le Département de la Défense que d'un stricte point de vue de la défense. [...] Nous avons l'impression que la fonction de défense pourrait s'effectuer dans le cadre d'opérations d'intelligence et de surveillance sans [l'assistance d'une] unité spéciale telle le Project Blue Book, mais c'est une question qui concerne les spécialistes de la défense plutôt que les chercheurs scientifiques".
L'affaire était close et en décembre 1969, sur bases des conclusions des scientifiques, le Pentagonemit fin aux activités du "Project Blue Book" : "...Ces études ont conclu : (1) qu'ils n'existaient aucune preuve selon lesquelles les notifications d'OVNI représentent une menace pour notre sécurité nationale; (2) l'Armée de lair n'a reçu aucune preuve ou n'a fait aucune découverte selon laquelle les observations classifiées comme "non identifiées" représentent des développements technologiques ou des principes en avance sur les connaissances scientifiques contemporaines; (3) il n'y a aucune preuve indiquant que les observations classifiées comme "non identifiées" soient des véhicules extraterrestres."
Malgré l'attitude controversée de l'Armée de lair, elle sortit honorablement de la polémique. Mais aux yeux du public, cette enquête se terminait en queue de poisson et ne répondait toujours pas à ses espérances : les notifications d'OVNI restaient inexpliquées.
