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.

Lignes de Nacza Humaines or ET - MAGONIE
a) Le seul tracé terrestre visible de la Lune, c'est la grande muraille de Chine, comme le montrent les photos de la NASA. Les routes, etc. ne le sont qu'avec les satellites proches. J'aimerais beaucoup voir ce que ces satellites montrent de Nazca. Si quelqu'un a les photos...
c)Pour l'hypothèse des tisserands, developpée dans l'article quej'ai remis à la sagacité de Magonie, on peut s'esclaffer pour reprendre les termes de Geneviève, mais Stierlin était un spécialiste incontestable des civilisations précolombiennes. Peut etre ces tracés avaient ils à la fois une utilité spirituelle, mystique et pratique. Pour en venir aux extraterrestres, il faut d'abord évacuer ces différentes propositions. Je citais hier une hypothèse plus récente que tu trouves bien résumée ici et qui rejoint clairement l'hypothèse émise par Giuseppe Orefici. http://www.futura-sciences.com/fr/news/t/homme/d/archeologie-les-geoglyphes-de-nazca-seraient-des-labyrinthes_43688/
d)
Je vous propose un petit test. Voici une photo de lignes de Nazca prise par Maria Reiche, selon Von Daniken dans son livre "Retour aux étoiles".
On y voit des lignes droites se prolonger dans la montagne. Elles relient deux hauts plateaux avec des dessins au sol.
Que donnent les explications "conventionnelles"?
- Pas pratique pour filer de longs fils ;
- pas pratique pour faire des processions ;
- drôle de labyrinthe.
- drôle de symbole astronomique.
Autres hypothèses conventionnelles ?
Hypothèse "autre" : c'est compatible avec l'idée de dessiner des traces visibles le plus loin possible par des "êtres célestes".
e)Voici un résumé (1) des diverses théories sur les géoglyphes de Nazca, venant de scientifiques et de non-scientifiques :
Croyez-le ou non, sur cette page il n'y en a pas moins de 30 ! C'est dire l'intérêt suscité par ce mystère. Je me demande si un phénomène étrange de l'Antiquité a fait l'objet d'autant de thèses différentes. (1) On ne voit pas qui en est l'auteur mais cela semble traduit de l'espagnol dans un anglais approximatif !

Eight Questions on Ghosts and UFOs: Is There a Link Between Them'by Diane Tessman. By definition, ghosts should be in the past, being perceived by fellow humans there. Think of a street in old New Orleans, around 1800. Women scurry around in long dresses, carriages with horses rattle by, and at the docks, slaves are unloading cargo. Watching the unloading is a beautiful brown-skinned woman in simple clothing, head wrapped turban-style. She seems troubled. More...
Why the Plague of Religious Fundamentalism must be opposed!by Pat Regan. Recent reports from Bangladesh are alarming yet not unexpected! At least 15 people are reported to have died and more than 60 injured after police and Islamist protesters clashed in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka. So, these highly dangerous fundamentalists wish to hang' people who fail to share their own brand of bigoted, religious, fanaticism' How spiritually enlightened (not) these poor fools must be!

Before the Delusion by William Gleeson, a bombshell rewriting 12,000 years of historyby Roland Michel Tremblay. From a wide range of ancient literature and archaeological reports, Gleeson has explored our pagan history - our real' history before it was Christianised, before it was misunderstood, mistranslated and just plain distorted to serve the interests of the Church. He has recovered the fragments of factual history from a surprising variety of sources - the Egyptian Pyramid Texts, the Hebrew Old Testament, the Greek myths, the Celtic Mabinogion, Grimm's Household Tales and modern-era archaeological reports - and cleverly rewoven these threads into a coherent and persuasive picture of alternative' history. Actually our real history. More...
The Cloverdale, Alabama Spooklight Phenomenon - Part IIby Wyatt Cox. Many theories have been proposed to explain Spooklight Phenomena. It is a known fact that a stable geological fault extends eastward from Mississippi through northern Alabama. There is also a considerable amount of minerals possessing piezoelectric qualities such as quartz and piezoelectricity is the natural phenomenon whereby certain minerals can produce powerful electric charges when there is a change in the physical stress of its environment.

The Psychrophiles Are Coming! - Part IIby Steve Erdmann. Klarfeld offers the mysteries of Stonehenge as another bit of evidence of ancient super-civilizations. Klarfield says the stones were erected on a prior 285-foot-diameter circle of 56 chalk holes. The Audrey Circle, say its defenders, is an early eclipsecomputer with precise knowledge of celestial mechanics. Stonehenge's earliest portion dates approximately 2950-2900 BCE, Middle Neolithic, and having enormous knowledge about the earth's relation to celestial bodies, enabled as S.I.D and S.I.S.T devices.

The Haunted Legacy of the Archuletta Mesaby Doc Vega. Lying in a mountainous region of northern New Mexico near the infamous town of Dulce is a wondrous geological formation known as Archuletta Mesa. Right in the midst of the Jicarilla Apache Reservation, the mesa is considered sacred ground to the tribe. It is here that an unusual history of secret government underground operations, UFO's, and paranormal events manifest themselves with an eerie persistence. More...

UFO/ET Cover-Up by Mainstream Mediaby Ed Komarek. Most of the mainstream media once again have clearly shown their complicity in the UFO/ET cover-up, by either ignoring the Citizen Disclosure Hearing altogether, or by continuing to marginalize the subject with negative spin.What is especially galling, to many of us in the growing alternative media that report honestly on the subject, is that this event is taking place in the mainstream medias own Washington Press Building, only blocks away from the White House More...
Rennes-le-Chateau - "Keys of Antiquity" by Bill Kersey Delivers!by Mary Alice Bennett. "The Keys of Antiquity", the new book by adventurer and Rennes-le-Chateau archaeologist Bill Kersey, is everything that one would expect from this expert in the field.

From Mars To Earth, Matteo Ianneo's Archaeological Researchby Tony Elliott . I have devoted a great deal of time in research into archaeological discoveries on the planet Mars, beginning years ago with the discoveries made by Richard C. Hoagland's analysis of pictures of the Martian surface, sent back to earth by Viking 1 in 1976. In his analysis of the pictures he discovered he found a defined face, unnatural pyramid formations, and evidence of an ancient city in the Cydonia region of Mars. More...
Mysterious Lightby Louis Hart . On a bitter cold winter day, while the sky was completely overcast and snow was falling, the clouds suddenly became very dark. Almost as if the hour of midnight had arrived. Then, there appeared a large area of bright light that lit up a sharply defined section of the clouds. More...
Our UFO Sighting in 1976by Lori Carter. We have said before that we will post any reports. The information that is sent to us doesn't have to be current. Our goal is to show what is out there, no matter how long ago it was. Following is an e-mail we received after the last article. This dates back to the mid to late 70's but has haunted this person all of their life. Abductees and experiencers never forget what they have seen or experienced. It stays with them for the rest of their lives. More...

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:Citizens Hearings on Disclosure was Excellent,
Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick Praises Testimony at Hearing, Sen. Mike Gravel Says White House Is Hiding UFO Evidence, Hearing Testimony, Discovery of Water on Mars, Strange Polish Stones, Star Trek into Darkness, Israel Attacks Syria, and Space Shuttle STS 61 C videotapes Triangle.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany and England and Scotland 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
Citizens Hearings on Disclosure was Excellent
On the right is Steven Bass who arranged the excellent Citizens Hearings on Disclosure. I was impressed by all the speakers and the retired Congressmen and Congresswomen. I wish they were still in office, but I will be sending them my weekly files and hope they will pass them on to their friends. The main ballroom of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. was converted to look like a Senate hearing room for the five day hearing,. The Hearing Committee included former Senator Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), former Congresswomen Darlene Hooley (D-Ore.), Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.), Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), and former Congressman Merrill Cook (R-Utah). These intelligent people have seen the evidence by forty experts and know the phenomenon is real.
Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick Praises Testimony at Hearing
I had a pleasant conversation with CongresswomanCarolyn Kilpatrick who told me she was very moved by the testimony of pilots as well as from the other witnesses during the week.
She said, "I've heard some of the most intelligent, scientific and universal knowledge on the topic that I didn't know I was going to witness. Yesterday, we heard from 12 different countries who have hundreds of years of scientific intelligent information on this subject.
"It behooves us, as human beings, in what is known as the greatest country in the world, to participate in that discussion. To not act like something exists and then to further act like it's a joke, we do a disservice to our ancestors, to God and to the people of the world. "I want the world and the universe to continue. And if there is something out there -- and I'm not a scientist -- there's a whole lot we don't know. I think it's ignorant of any people not to seek out what we need to know to continue the universe. "I was convinced before this morning's panel that there probably is something out there, and I'm willing to work the rest of my life to see that, if it is, how we can enhance the universe to see that we all have a better quality of life."
I personally provided Testimony on the Pilots Panel with commercial airline pilot James Courant.
Sen. Mike Gravel Says White House Is Hiding UFO Evidence
During a meeting held by UFO advocacy group Paradigm Research, six former congress representatives were paid $20,000 to reveal their thoughts about UFO sightings and extraterrestrial visits.
"It goes right to the White House, and of course, once the White House takes a position, 'well there's nothing going on' it just goes down the chain of command, everyone stands toe," he said.
Gravel pointed out that many former military officers, like retired Air Force Capt. Robert Salas, have seen UFOs and observed them disabling nuclear weapons.
"The smoking gun of the whole issue, which is when they saw hovering space craft in Wyoming and South Dakota over the ICBM missile silos that the missiles couldn't work," Gravel said.
"What we're faced with here is, in areas of the media, and the government too, an effort to marginalize and ridicule people who have specific knowledge."
After he was asked about the fact that he was given money to make a speech, Gravel insisted it did not influences his agreement with the testimony.
"This is an opportunity which I've taken to focus on this issue for an entire week and the preparation I made in coming to it, for my enrichment that's very important," he said. NY Daily News
I spoke with all these panel members who had excellent presentations. Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center, who recounted eyewitness reports of UFOs hovering motionless and able to change direction more quickly than earthly technologies would seem to allow. Peter Robbins, a researcher and lecturer, who told about the Rendlesham Forest Incident in the U.K., where U.S. Air Force personnel said they witnessed a UFO. Gary Heseltine, a former U.K. police detective, who has collected sightings from police officers stated, "I now have over 425 cases involving over 940 British police officers," Heseltine told the panel. "Over 70 percent of these cases are multiple-witness-officer cases."
Linda Moulton Howe, a researcher and filmmaker who studies livestock mutilation, brought slides of horses and cattle that had been stripped of flesh and their organs removed surgically, and were left on soft patches of earth without any surrounding tracks. Howe said.
"Ranchers have seen the glowing discs put beams down. Ranchers have seen the animals rise," Thanks to Chris Good.

The Discovery of Water on Mars
Dan Travers writes, After I came to the Discovery of Life on Marswebsite, I then scrolled down to this landscape photo on Mars. The West Valley of the Columbian Basin in the Gusev Crater has what looks like a creature or statue in the sitting position when zoomed in. The photo was taken by the "Mars Exploration Rover Spirit" in November 2007.
Because of the Creature, I often looked at this photo and I decided to zoom in on the mountain in the distance just out of curiosity. Zooming in it appears to be a lake. You can see that it seems to be lower than the surrounding landscape in which is indicative of land around water. I increased the brightness and contrast to bring out any detail. There are ripples in the water as to indicate wind is hitting on its surface.
Nine days later, I found an even "larger resolution" and at closer range, it is more of a "Hill", than a mountain. Also, its more of a "Pond", rather than a lake. On the website that says "The Discovery of Life on Mars" under the INTRODUCTION area, is written and underlined: photograph by NASA-JPL was PIA10214.
It takes a while to down load the photo. It is about little over two and a half times larger than the other one. The other one is 5,000 by 1,367 Pixels and this one is 12,756 by 3,487.
Here, the photo of the immediate landscape, the hill, the pond and a small portion of the sky. On this page, because this is the original color and its at a distance and therefore, had to zoom in, is a bit dark. In my personal binder book, it is in two sections because; it is a little larger than the enhanced previous one of brightness and contrast change.
Over time, NASA has continued to dismiss that there is liquid water on Mars. I wonder what their excuse will be about this one. There have been apparently other people that have found liquid water on Mars, however to my knowledge, no response for these people from NASA. I just happen to "so far to my knowledge", be the first one to find it in this area by "ZOOMING IN". Thanks to Dan Travers of Montrose, New York, MUFON UFO Researcher and Amateur Astronomer,
Strange Polish Deposited Stones
Nancy Talbot sent this eyewitness UFO case in Poland resulting in apparently deposited "stones" subsequently determined to be vitrified soil. Multiple "drilled" holes (some quite deep) in general area were also discovered in conjunction with UFO sightings. In each case the soil removed was missing altogether: .
In August 1998, Mrs. Kuss thought she was seeing a meteorite, but the object was descending too slowly, at 2:00 Am. It even "stopped" for awhile, and would then continue its descent. The fiery object, which was 150 meters in front of her windows, appeared to be only 3-4 meters across.
" It was glowing like a piece of [hot] iron in a field. She told her family about it the morning and showed them where it landed. The object was retrieved by her 11 year old grandson Milosz, who found 10 to 15 "stones" placed in an "irregular" circle on top of the grassy area. They were the size of a basketball or slightly smaller. There were no traces of anything burnt. He took smallest stone in the middle of the irregular ring of stones, the other green stones like a green glass bottle were too heavy for Milosz to lift back to the house.
A day or two later he took a wheelbarrow to pick up the rest of the "stones," but they were all gone. I don't think they were taken by people, but by an object that landed here. Milosz reported a few additional details, in particular the fact that the one stone with sharp edges he had retrieved "glowed green" on these edges for about half-a-year:
The piece Milosz recovered was more black than green by 2003, but still had multiple fluorescing light-green inclusions which were visible in good light

Israeli warplanes struck weapons inside Syria that were bound for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, American and Israeli officials say.
The attack, which reportedly took place Friday morning, was the second such strike this year; further raising fears that Syria's two-year civil war could spill over into neighboring countries.
News of the strike comes as graphic evidence emerges of what a watchdog group says are scores of deaths in fighting and mass executions by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad in and around the coastal city of Baniyas. Hundreds are reportedly fleeing amid fears of further sectarian-fueled violence. Israeli officials told The Associated Press that the targets of the strike were sophisticated "game-changing" weapons, including long range ground-to-ground missiles.
Israel has repeatedly warned that it would not hesitate to act to prevent its enemies from getting their hands on weapons, particularly chemical weapons.
"Syria has large amounts of chemical weaponry and missiles. Everything there is under [regime] control," Gilad said.
Israeli jets also bombed a military research facility north of Damascus Sunday and missiles hit an ammunition dump containing chemical weapons in the Qaysoun Mountains on the edge of Damascus. Heavy explosions shook the city according to rebel spokesman as Israel struck Iranian-supplied missiles that were en route to the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon. TV showed a fireball rising into the sky after Sunday's strikes. Syria responded angrily to the air strikes warning that the attack "opens the door to all possibilities." Israel has not claimed responsibility, but moved anti-missile batteries to the north and shut down the air space to civilian flights as tensions rise. Thanks to ABC.
Space Shuttle STS 61 C videotaped this object
STS-61 was the first Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission, and the fifth flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The mission launched on 2 December 1993 from Kennedy Space Center restored the space borne observatory's vision, marred by spherical aberration, with the installation of a new main camera and a corrective optics package. The flight also brought instrument upgrades and new solar arrays to the telescope. With its very heavy workload, the eleven day mission was one of the most complex in the Shuttle's history and snapped this photo of a triangle in space. Astronaut Musgrave who was on the mission was rumored to going to talk at the Citizens Hearing. Thanks to NASA.
Im Sorry to say my Daughters Dr. Victoria Anne Filer and Elizabeth Lynne Filer passed On
My lovely daughters both passed away during the last few months due to illness. Im suffering from the agony of separation from them and they are greatly missed. The world will be darker place without them even though I have accepted they have moved on to a better place. They gave me the gift of faith and realization that there is a Giver of life.
Victoria and Elizabeth Filer (right)
And I think faith is a gift that provides strength and happiness. I discovered I can be sort of happy of even now. Its not always easy, but you can choose to be content, and in the vast majority of circumstances theres no one who can stop you from happiness except yourself.
I was blessed seeing them born and going on to be with the Lord.
Benjamin Franklin probably said it best,
"Finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or
other, always exist."
The truth is happiness doesnt come from wealth, perfect looks or even a perfect relationship. Happiness comes from within. This is why, if you truly want to be happy, you need to work on yourself. I just lost both my lovely daughters that have caused me great grief, but I believe they are up there with the Lord helping in my mission in life to expose the truth about the UFO phenomenon. Our lives are a marvelous succession of wonders and I was blessed to have them. I still have my memories, a loving wonderful wife and son.
Remember to let your loved ones know you appreciate and love them; life is more fragile than you know.
In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you with me that you also may be where I am. John 14:2-4
There will be a Memorial Service at 3 PM Saturday May 18, 2013 at the Come Alive New Testament Church, 240 Old Marlton Pike Medford, New Jersey. You are all invited.

Sightings in the United States
AlabamaRectangle
Montgomery I was driving over an overpass on I-65 with clear skies when I noticed a bright object on May 6, 2013, as I went around a curve in the road. Object had a white center increasing yellowish hue to edges with thin red outline. I was traveling at 35 MPH with the two miles in front of me at 5,000 feet AGL. Object moved away from my direction of travel in a straight line increasing to over 4,000 mph. Object turned increasingly red as it moved away and turned completely red at last visible location. Visually it was about the size of a basketball when first observed and was the size of a star when visibility was lost. Best guess of total distance object traveled before losing visibility is about 15 miles. It either stayed at same altitude or descended slightly. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Disc
Niland -- My husband and I had just gotten married in Las Vegas and we were on our honeymoon sight-seeing in the nearby states. We arrived in Slab City at Salvation Mountain on April 25, 2013, at about 2:30 pm. I gave a donation and turned to take a picture of the awesome man made mountain. It was then that I started scrolling through the pictures and saw a UFO. I did not see it. I screamed and giggle hysterically because I had FINALLY caught a UFO after looking towards the sky for years.
My new husband thought it was a helicopter, so I enlarged and zoomed in on this awesome photo and even he HAD to say it was no helicopter! We drove to Roswell and acquired the MUFON brochure and here I am. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Clermont -- My friend and I saw six weird lights in the sky in the same general area on May 4, 2013. We were on a side road off of highway 27 just north of the Citrus Tower at 8:37 PM. They were silent and seemed pretty close. I snapped this picture and you can see three of them in the picture. We have no clue what it could have been.
Note: The photo shows three of the lights in triangular formation. It is not known if the lights were part of a craft or were separate. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Georgia Orbs
Fall river -- Around mid afternoon I was sitting in my backyard with two other people when I noticed a Cessna type aircraft overhead on May 5, 2013, While looking at the plane I noticed that at much higher elevation there were three round like objects. One was red the other two were white and all were reflecting sunlight.
They were heading south at first then the red one slowed down considerably and the two white ones continued on in close proximity to each other before one changed direction rather abruptly and accelerated west.
The other maintained its speed and continued south. I lost sight of the red one while it was still pretty much overhead. The strangest thing was the direction change and acceleration. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Cloud Face
McGregor He spotted among many photos taken on March 29, 2013, from 2:19 until 2:40 PM, this strange face in the clouds. The witness states, I am finding ufos nearly daily
I think it is you people who need to study my photos on Facebook. For the last two years there are thousands of shots of these UFOs. I know I am not the first contact. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Montana Cow Mutilation
BROWNING -- William Puckett reports, I called the witness regarding a sighting of strange lights in the sky that occurred on April 19, 2013. She said that, These strange behaving lights have recently been noted on many nights and have been witnessed by family members. The witness was assisting her brother-in-law and sister with calving operations five miles south of Browning and all cows were checked and fine at 4:30 AM. At 7:10 AM, after sunrise the animal was found mutilated and her calf was also dead. The only blood found was around the mouth where precision cuts had been made. Predators would not touch the animal. The witness snapped several photos a few hours after the mutilation was noted. No UFO activity was noted at the time of the mutilation but unusual nocturnal lights had recently been noted on several nights. Correction this report was from William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
New Jersey
I was just reading this below and the drawing of the UFO that Commander Bethune reported over Iceland looks like the one I saw here in New Jersey. More than any other drawn picture, artist's rendering, or photograph Ive seen in your newsletter, which I have been reading since I saw a UFO the summer of 2011. It wasn't as big as the one they saw, but the description of how the lights change based on how much power is being used really interested me. The one I saw did not change the lights colors, and they stayed red the whole time I was watching it. Also, the pattern of lights coming from all over the UFO is what I saw. And there was a "hazy" effect, same as reported in your article. You published what I had seen in the summer or the fall of 2011. I just wanted to tell you about the similarity of what I saw to what he is reporting. My drawn picture was not so good. Please don't publish this unless you contact me first. I don't want to use my real name. Thanks Barb
New Jersey in front me 250 feet up.
EGGHARBOR-- I was sitting on my back porch watching the doves in the trees on April 9, 2013, I saw a small object coming from the left about 250 or 300 feet off the ground across the trees in front of me above my house. It then looked like a bird to me at first then it looked like balloons and then it got closer, I could see what it was, it looked gun black, about 10 feet round and 6 to 8 feet tall. It looked like a thread bobbing, it flew across the sky, the same speed and until it went out of my sight. It took about 30 seconds to go from left to right, absolutely no noise, it blew my mind. I could not believe I saw that in the sky. I live two miles from FAA center in New Jersey. I have seen every plane that the Air Force has flown over my house, it was not a plane. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Woodbridge -- I was standing on my porch and looking up at the sky on April 28, 2013, when out of nowhere this odd shaped thing flew over my house. At first I thought it was some sort of falling material. I just watched as it with no sound no light and no emission. This has not been the first time Ive seen a ufo by my house but this was very odd and was so much different than the others. Its hard to explain. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Triangle
Granbury -- Walking out to my car after work. (Parking lot at the Waterview Senior Living Center next to the Hilton. There was a red light blinking in the sky and it caught my eye that kept changing colors on January 17, 2013. The object was triangular/boomerang shape that seemed to have three distinct sides with a hollow center. Its motions were up and down and side to side. It was silent but very fast. I was perplexed as to what it was and became somewhat giddy with an adrenaline rush when I realized I could not identify the object. I lost sight of the object when it just disappeared. One second it was moving erratically and changing colors, the next it was just gone. I got in my car and went home. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Saucer
I got up early to take a picture of the grass I cut so after I snapped a picture on April 23, 2013, something told me to look up to the left then my heart stopped and I felt scared.
It was a saucer picking up or dropping something I had chills and wanted to leave my cousin was stuck but saw it then it move so fast or vanished right there and we ran but I took a picture if you blow up in the upper left above the tree its there but I can make out the beams and all.

Worldwide UFO Sightings
Atlantic Ocean 1:30 AM GMT (9:30 PM ADT)
47.00N 050.00W --A three man crew was flying a FEDEX MD-11 from Paris, France to Memphis, Tennessee on Saturday night about 0130Z, at FL340, heading 280 Magnetic on 28 April 2013. We noticed an object almost directly in front of us and about 45 degrees from the horizon that went from dim to bright, to dim again and then disappeared.
This only went across about two inches of sky as we looked at it, lasted about twenty seconds, was very bright and then was gone. It was very high and obviously in space. We really couldnt decide on whether it was coming toward us, or going away. The moon was bright off our left side and behind, but visible from the left window. The sun was on the other side of the earth.
We assumed that we saw a meteor ricochet off the atmosphere and didnt think anything of it. Both of us sitting in the cockpit saw it. Then, a short time later, we saw it again in the same area of sky, same duration, same brightness. We thought that it couldnt be another meteor, so our next thought was that it was the space station and we were seeing it being reflected off the sun. But it happened fairly close to the last sighting and we thought that it couldnt have gone around the earth in that amount of time. Then, we saw it again. This time I started my clock to time the event.
Then, we saw it again. It had only been 8 1/2 minutes. Our second pilot came into the cockpit and we briefed him on the sighting. We darkened the lights, and at about the 8 1/2 minute timeframe, we saw it again. We ended up watching this thing come and go every 8 1/2 minutes, (plus or minus a few seconds) for almost 2 hours. The final sightings were about 42.00N/070.00W and about 03:30Z, two hours later. Though we were traveling about 6 miles a minute westbound, and the earth was rotating, the object kept getting lower on the horizon until it wasnt visible anymore. I did get a short video of it from my iPad, but it doesnt show much, and the object wasnt as bright as our earlier sighting. I have never seen anything like this in my 19,000 hours of flying and can only assume that its some sort of government object, but for it to be repeatedly seen for so long and so consistent, is a mystery.

Australia Sightings
DARLINGTON This photo was taken by Rob Hartland over the Perth Hills on April 29, 2013. The Sunday Times newspaper in Perth has published this story with photos. The huge email response from people in Perth, Australia-wide and overseas has been extremely positive and encouraging. Some people have sent me their personal stories of UFO sightings as well as some of their own images. I encourage everyone to have a go and see what you can capture in your own photos and let me know if you capture any really good ones. See here: Sunday Times article 28th April 2013
Gawler On April 30, 2013, at 19:27 hours I seen a bright orange light that at first I thought was the space station but it was too bright for that and then another two appeared. They were going north and went into a triangle formation, one of them had a light fall from it, that one then flew east and the other two went north. Im not one to believe in little green men, but what I saw last night just changed my way of thinking. My friend on Face Book told me her uncle also saw the lights. Thanks to Stephen Holland
Western Australia-- My family and I were on a several day trip from Melbourne, and one of our stops was in a small town just over the border of Western Australia in January of 2013. Later just after 9 pm, at the camp site, I was standing outside, a few meters away from our caravan where the rest of my family was asleep. Using my phone star map to look at the constellations while holding my phone above my head, I could track what was on the screen to what was in the sky. I saw two rows of blinking lights consisting of three blue, white and red lights running parallel moving east, until the lights morphed into only one row and flattened out. They spun and blinked in and out of view. It then did a hook turn and was coming straight for me.
It got bigger and was heading toward me and was so real that I screamed and started crying.
I ran back to our caravan and woke up my parents before a tree blocked my view and the object disappeared. It had been a solid shape because the outline had been clearly visible and the stars had been blocked. It was completely silent and many lights and was too large to be an airplane. I believe it had been a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Triangle
SAULT STE MARIE -- The night of May 6th, 2013, around 10:30 PM, I was in the back yard looking up at the clear night sky talking on the phone when I saw what appeared at first to be the V-shape of Canada Geese. There was no sound of their honking and the shape did not change. As it came closer I realized that it was a silent triangular shaped craft with dim lighting on the leading edge flying north. The altitude was hard to judge but it looked to be 3-4 thousand feet up. I mentioned the sighting to my girlfriend, whom I was talking to. The triangle disappeared behind a tree. Thanks to MUFON CMS
CroatiaOrange Light
OSIJEK -- I opened a window before I went to bed and seconds later I stared at the window at clear night sky and suddenly a bright orange light appeared 500 meters from my house on April 25, 2013. It followed a straight path glowing at a constant speed for two seconds. At first I thought it was a meteor but realized there is no burning glow or tail. Before I could make any sense of it - it disappeared - only to make itself visible once again. A moment later, it rapidly turned and continued going straight forward with an elevated path!
After two seconds it disappeared again. There was no noise the whole time. I never saw a UFO before, I studied astronomy and I know how celestial objects behave. I stared for about ten minutes searching for the object and decided to share this with the world. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Denmark Big Star
Aalborg I have seen a lot of movements in the sky lately and the object moved with constant speed and then went slowly really, really bright on May 2013. This was the most memorable out of all the sightings I've experienced. That is why this is my very first report also. Previously I've just seen flying orbs and huge stationary flashes in the sky, like signaling that they are out there.
I was sitting in front of my apartment building and saw at first like normal star but it moved with constant speed and during its flight it started to get bigger and brighter. Its brightness can be compared to full moon in a clear night. It went slowly back to its previous size and disappeared.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Triangle
Chatuzange-le-Goubet On March 29, 2013, I have a panoramic view from my home on top of a high hill and on a clear night and saw a glow in the sky. Without turning on the lights in my house I saw lights for more than 20 minutes. Returning to my room I saw a bright triangle in the sky without contours. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Germany Flying Rods
COLOGNE -- This afternoon I originally wanted to photograph the moon and was looking for the best focus, as I suddenly discovered nearby a fast-flying object on March 27, 2013. I shot a few pictures successively and there were two different objects. One object flew from the top down, and a minute later, another object that flew from the bottom upwards.
I photographed these objects from my apartment where I live in Cologne. It happened in the east while taking pictures, I thought they were quite normal planes or jets, but then I saw something else in the photos. In the photos they look like flying double-or triple-rods, and do not look like the famous flying objects. In some of the photos you can see many small unidentified flying objects that accompanied the large UFO's. When I saw the result in the photos, I was very excited and decided to report my sighting. Thanks to MUFON CMS
United Kingdom/England
Shropshire -- Multiple UFOs were caught on film briefly passing east over the north of Shrewsbury, UK on May 1st, 2013. They were caught on film with a Pulsar Recon 550 digital night vision monocular, but could not be seen with the naked eye. They are not sky lanterns as they did not glow or flicker or give of a bright enough light, but they could be birds. This is unlikely but cannot be ruled out.
You can see in the footage that a civilian airliner was also traversing the sky at the same time and at 1 minute 25 seconds there is a small shooting star entering the atmosphere. Weather was calm with no wind and no clouds. Aircraft and balloons have been ruled out here so they remain unidentified. Once again this shows just how useful night vision equipment is when viewing in low light and dark conditions. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Scotland Airliner Has Narrow Miss with UFO'
GLASGOW -- The aircraft had been flying at 4,000 feet with its landing lights on, when a passenger aircraft had a narrow miss with an unidentified object over Glasgow. The Airbus A320 was making its final approach to Glasgow Airport on December 2, 2013, when an object passed about 300 feet underneath it.
The pilot of the aircraft said the risk of collision with the object, which did not show up on radar, had been "high". A report by the UK Airprox Board investigators was unable to establish what the object had been.
Cockpit transcript
The Airprox report included a transcript of the conversation that took place between the aircraft and the controller at 12:55 PM:
A320: "Glasgow Approach [A320 C/S]"
EGPF: "[A320 C/S] pass your message"
A320: "We just had something pass underneath us quite close [1255:30] and nothing on TCAS have you got anything on in our area"
EGPF: "Er negative we've got nothing on radar and we're not talking to any traffic either"
A320: "Not quite sure what it was but it definitely quite large [1255:40] bigger than a balloon and it's blue and yellow"
EGPF: "OK that's understood do you have a an estimate for the height"
A320: "Maybe [1255:50] yeah we were probably about four hundred to five hundred feet above it so it's probably about three and a half thousand feet." The pilot asked the controller at Glasgow Airport if he was "talking to anything in the area" as he had "got quite close" to a blue and yellow aircraft, travelling in the opposite direction, which had passed just below him.
The controller stated that he was not talking to anyone else in that area and that nothing was seen on radar.
Air traffic control said they had no trace of any other objects in the area at the time of the incident, although the radar at Prestwick did spot an "unidentified track history" 1.3 nautical miles east of the A320's position 28 seconds earlier.
Once the aircraft had landed, the pilot told the Glasgow Aerodrome Controller: "We seemed to only miss it by a couple of hundred feet, it went directly beneath us. Wherever we were when we called it in it was within about 10 seconds. Couldn't tell what direction it was going but it went right underneath us."BBC News - Airliner 'had narrow miss with UFO'www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-22365368
Members were unable to reach a conclusion as to a likely candidate for the conflicting aircraft
End Quote Airprox Board report
The Airprox report concluded: "Investigation of the available surveillance sources was unable to trace any activity matching that described by the A320 pilot.
A glider could not be discounted, the report said, but it was unlikely that one would be operating in the area because of the constrained airspace and the lack of thermal activity because of the low temperature.
The report stated: "Members were unable to reach a conclusion as to a likely candidate for the conflicting aircraft and it was therefore felt that the board had insufficient information to determine a Cause or Risk".

It Was No Small Fish!
JAL Flight 1628 UFO Incident Over Alaska New Re-creation 2010
In November, 1986, a Japanese crew of a jumbo freighter aircraft witnessed a UFO while flying over the state of Alaska. This sighting gained international attention when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it was going to officially investigate this sighting because the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Anchorage, Alaska, had reported that the UFO had been detected on radar. Captain Terauchi was featured on numerous radio and TV programs and in People Magazine.
Featured in this video is John Callahan who was the Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch of the FAA in Washington DC and UFO investigator Brent Mitchell.
John Callahan, former Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch of the FAA testifies before the committee about an aircraft incident over Alaska involving a UFO and about the investigation and cover-up that hid it from the public
TV personality Ben Hansen witnessed a UFO flying above Huntington Beach, California on the night of Friday, May 3.
Ben Hansen (Credit: Jason McClellan)
Hansen, known best for his role as host and lead investigator on the SyFy channels show Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, was exercising with a friend at a local Huntington Beach high school. Hansen finished running around the schools track, and while he waited for his friend to finish her laps around the track, he looked up and noticed a triangular shaped object traveling at a very quick pace in the northwestern sky.
According to the UFO sighting report published on his website, Hansen describes the object as a defined craft in the shape of a near perfect equilateral triangle with large white spheres at each corner. As the object passed silently overhead, Hansen ruled out the possibility that the UFO was a flock of birds. And the object was unlikely a conventional plane because there were no position marker, navigation, strobe, landing, beacon, or other lights visible. Hansen also ruled out the possibility that it was something like three weather balloons attached to a frame because, by his calculations, the craft was traveling somewhere between 500-800 mph.
When his friend finally joined him, Hansen learned that she too saw the UFO. Before discussing the sighting, Hansen told her to write down what she saw first to avoid contaminating each others memories. She only saw the object for a few seconds before it disappeared from view, and her perspective was different from Hansens. And therefore, her description varies slightly from Hansens. She describes:
Illustration of the UFOs based on witness testimony. (Credit: Ben Hansen)
It was in the formation of a triangle, but it seemed to have several objects that were forming that triangle. It wasnt very high, definitely not a plane, it was not illuminated. Initially I thought it might be a flock of birds, but it was a triangle shape not a V shape and the objects were much bigger than birds and it would have taken several birds to make the triangle as big as it was. It was almost as if they looked like Styrofoam Dixie cups clustered inside the triangle.
The differences in the witnesses descriptions is illustrated in a drawing included with the sighting report.
Shortly after this sighting, the witnesses saw two more UFOs returning along the same path as the first UFO. Although these objects were silent like the first UFO, these craft were different in appearance. Hansen describes that, lacking a better way to describe them, they appeared to . . . have the shape of fighter jets, but they were completely white in color and flying in such tight formation that they were almost touching each other. Also like the first UFO, no lights were visible on these craft.
In addition to posting his sighting report on his website, Hansen also submitted the report to the National UFO Reporting Center and the Mutual UFO Network. This former FBI agent is a trained investigator, and it shows in his report, which is considerably more thorough than most UFO sighting reports.
As I told a friend, when he asked me to assess the Citizen Hearing before it happened, "Nothing is black or white. Some good will come from it, however, I suspect that the negatives will outweigh the positives and I am concerned that the ex-USAF missileers who've decided to participate will end up being unfairly associated with the less-than-credible witnesses."
Well, given that former U.S. Senator Mike Gravel took the Air Force veterans seriously and went so far as to say that their statements were the "smoking gun" that confirmed that there was/is a government cover-up on UFOs, I would say that I was correct about the good part.
Also, serious researchers were in evidence, including Peter Davenport and Kevin Randle, to name two. And credible whistleblowers, such as retired FAA administrator John Callahan.
But as I watched the hearings, all five days, it became clear that I was also correct about the bad part. Bassett has never vetted his witnesses, refuses to do so, probably doesn't even know how, and it frequently showed. So, it's not surprising that there was more than a little BS, wishful thinking, and unwitting participation in hoaxes and disinformation ops. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Ufology.
However, given how rare it is for a high-level government type to say something affirming about UFOs and the cover-up of same--even though Sen. Gravel left Washington in 1981--I decided to issue the following press release:
It has already received some useful attention. The debunkers will say that I am posting it just to sell books. That's what they always fall back on, since the information I have collected over the years from military veterans is credible and documented.
Off the cuff and beginning with the first sentence, labeling Mr. Shrivers penscript a book, I find a little amusing since Mr. Shriver spends a great deal of time nit picking various minutiae in the Ramsey book, et al. Unless somethings changed, Mr. Shrivers critique is 17 pages long and a more accurate description would be a pamphlet, booklet, paper or long article.
Conversely, Ramseys book is 233 pages, Scullys (the original) is 242 pages and Steinmans is 625 pages long.
As Ive written before, I can appreciate the specifics that Mr. Shriver has offered, citing page and verse with the various tomes hes chosen to censure (its refreshing); however, melding his criticism together in one treatise, for all 3isnt prudent in my view.
Since Mr. Shrivers main thesis for his fault finding, is minute details allow me to point out that Stanton Friedman doesnt possess a doctorate and is always the first person to point this out. Mr. Shriver refers to Stan as Dr. 3 times in his paper.
Beyond the claimed geographical errors, it would seem that the primary counter argument to the evidence presented in the 3 books, and to simplify things, Ill just focus on the Ramsey book, was that if the UFO event actually happened he would have known about it. In support of this dogma Mr. Shriver stated that he queried his former classmates (class of 51 & 52) about an alleged UFO crash [in 1948]; since Mr. Shriver is a glutton for details, and playing by his rulesits important to note that the term or acronym i.e., UFO was borne by the Air Force in 1952, and didnt become popular re the public lexicon until many years after that. In short, its a given that no one in Aztec or anywhere else had heard of a UFO in 1948.
I know readers are thinking that Im splitting hairs, but Mr. Shriver, condemned Scott Ramsey for calling Mt Taylor, The Taylor Mountains, he laid the ground rules, so whats good for the goose . . ..
Finally, if the geographical errors that Mr. Shriver cites are proven to be accurate, e.g., if Scott (himself, opposed to quoting someone), got the name of a bridge or a street wrong, Im sure every attempt will be made to correct any errors in the next printing. Ive also advised Scott to insert a thank you to Mr. Shriver for his efforts.
When Mr. Shriver finally got around to the main event, i.e., a UFO coming down on Hart Canyon rd in the Spring of 48, although I was pleased that he deviated from the tired old Cahnian edict of over 60 years (ala JP Cahn) as a counter argument to the Aztec Incident, I have to say I was amused that the core of his rebuttal (beyond Geography) was/is argumentum ad ignorantiam, e.g., idea that if it really happened he would have heard about it. These Arguments from ignorance are often a go-to defense for the status quo.
Curiously, Mr. Shriver wrote:
The first time I recall hearing of the UFO crash in Hart Canyon was when I learned that the Aztec City Library was holding an annual symposium about the UFO crash. During the 2000s . . ..
The Annual Aztec Symposium was borne in 1998, and was an economic boon for the City of Aztec in general and used as a fundraiser for the new library as Shriver notes in his piece. Not only was the event (s) heavily advertised, so were its many prestigious speakers; yet by Mr. Shrivers own admission he never knew about it until the 2000s (he didnt specify the year).
In the same vein, Frank Scullys book was a New York Times best Seller in 1950; it was the first to name Aztec as the local for a (then) Flying Saucer coming down in the area. It was printed in multiple languages in countries around the world, and it precipitated many an (national) article in its wake, given the gravity of the claims. Yet Mr. Shriver didnt hear about that either.
One of the events that Scully wrote about, was the lecture given by Scientist X re the Aztec Incident, which took place in March of 1950 at The University of Denver. Again, this was national headline news and again, Shriver was ignorant to the event.
One of the biggest events in UFO history, was The Farmington Armada, which took place in 1950 and topped the front page of The Farming Daily Times and in huge caps read, HUGE SAUCER ARMADA JOLTS FARMINGTON; here again Shriver knew nothing about it (and according to him, neither did his class-mates).
In November of 1947 a Mysterious Flaming Object came down in the Four Corners area and more then one search team made up of scientists including the renowned Dr Lincoln La Paz was in the area for days; this again was widely publicized and yet again, Monte Shriver draws a blank.
Based on Monte Shrivers ideology, i.e., if it happened I would have known about it, and since he was ignorant to the a fore mentioned events (to name a few)would he have us believe that they didnt occur either?

Aztec native Shriver debunks UFO crash at Hart Canyon

AZTEC Nothing otherworldly happened in Hart Canyon, says Aztec native Monte Shriver.
Shriver will present his findings on the "other Roswell" at a meeting of the San Juan County Historical Society at the Bloomfield Multicultural Center on Wednesday.
He admits there is likely something out there, but is convinced it didn't crash land in Aztec - on March 25, 1948, or any other date.
The incident has been long debated, but Shriver hopes to finally dispel the stories of a 100-foot-long alien craft containing human-like bodies slumped over a control panel that was swiftly carted away to an undisclosed location by the military.
Last fall, he self-published "It's About Time," a book that questions the research of three books dedicated to the storied UFO crash event - Frank Scully's 1950 book "Behind the Flying Saucers," William Steinman and Wendelle Stevens' 1986 book "UFO Crash at Aztec: A Well Kept Secret" and Scott and Suzanne Ramsey's 2012 book "The Aztec Incident: Recovery at Hart Canyon."
All three lack verifiable evidence to be much more than fantasy, Shriver said.
"When I was nine, I camped out with the Boy Scouts right where the alien crash was supposed to have happened, in 1948 and '49, and nobody ever breathed a word about a UFO," Shriver said. "If they had, we would have certainly heard about it."
Shriver was prompted to start looking into the alien story after attending a UFO symposium, the last held to raise funds for the construction of the Aztec Library, in Aztec

in 2011.
"My first reaction was one of amazement, since I had grown up, graduated from Aztec High School and never heard anything about a UFO landing in Hart Canyon," Shriver said. "Intrigued, I went online and bought all three books and began to look into their claims."
With the support of his wife of 53 years, Shriver, a former college professor and accountant, stepped out of full retirement to begin his research.
He spent the better part of a year in the special collections department of New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, where he and his wife retired nine years ago.
"All three books say everyone at the site was sworn to secrecy by the military about the crash, then why did some speak?" Shriver said. "But, overall, much of the evidence and documentation presented in them is unexplained or not relevant to Aztec."
But Scott and Suzanne Ramsey hold firm to their findings, citing consistencies about eyewitness accounts culled from over 27 years' research.
"When you have multiple people citing the same specific details like the number of portholes - six - and the color - brushed-silver - of the disc, you begin to see consistencies that are telling," Ramsey said. "We (he and his wife) have followed many leads at great expense through the years and only go with what we can verify."
Possible leads that might shed even further light on the UFO crash and military cover-up - two people in Aztec and one in Durango - are currently being vetted by the couple, who currently live in South Carolina, Scott Ramsey said.
"Remember that ad, 'Where's the beef?'" Shriver joked. "I mean, really, where's the disc?"
Copies of Shriver's book will be for sale by the San Juan County Historical Society at the meeting Wednesday. All proceeds will go directly to the society.
Ufologist Stanton Friedman to give lecture at MVCC Tuesday
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - The original civilian investigator of the crash in Roswell, New Mexico is in town to give a lecture at MVCC on Tuesday. Stanton Friedman is a believer that we are not alone in the galaxy.
"We used to think the government only told us the truth," said Stanton Friedman. "But now we know that isn't the truth. I hate to say it but it's true."
While working as a nuclear physicist, a book about unidentified flying objects peaked Friedman's interest more than five decades ago. So, Friedman started reading more and the more he read he says the more evidence he discovered.
"The evidence is overwhelming that Planet Earth is being visited by intelligent controlled extraterrestrial spacecrafts. In other words, SOME (underlined 33 times), some UFO's are alien spacecraft, most are not."
His lecture Tuesday night is all about Roswell. "Since I'm the original investigator, I start at the beginning," said Friedman. "How did I find out about it, and I'll go into what happened and what supporting evidence we've had and where it fits in the larger scheme of things. I bring a peculiar background to this, not only having worked under security, but I worked on fusion propulsion systems for deep space travel. The people that say you can't get here from there. It's like saying you can't get from here to California in three days on a bike. Who cares? You can fly there in one day."
So we had to ask, has he ever seen a UFO. "No," said Friedman. "But I chased neutrons and gamma rays for 14 years. Never saw a one. They're real too."
Friedman will sign books before and after the lecture Tuesday. It starts at 7p.m. inside Schafer Theater at MVCC in Utica. General admission is $10. MVCC Students are free.
I wanted to post a review of the new Sirius film because of the long build up to its release and the apparent level of attention it has garnered on the internet. It seems to have a substantial and fairly well-organised marketing campaign behind it such as ads embedded on websites (e.g. http://www.openminds.tv/ as of 28th Apr 2013).
Before discussing the Sirius films content, I would just like to note what adverts/postings for the film typically show online. Various embedded panels will show Watch Sirius instantly for $9.99; Available for a 72-hour rental period; Buy the DVD for only $19.99. One puzzle to me is that it is said that the film has been crowd-funded, yet it is now being sold so do the crowd funders get a share of the returns? Maybe not I dont know how these things are set up. Now, of course films with production values like Sirius are expensive to make if you choose to make them in the way that Sirius is made. Perhaps I am biased because I try to give away all the material I compile either for free or at close-to-cost price. Nevertheless, because of the glitzy-packaging of information in todays CGI-loaded visual media, I can appreciate a requirement for more attention grabbing production. One could argue for lengthy periods about the relative merits of giving away things for free and/or making things cheaply or giving them a professional, contemporary feel and look. Higher production quality can attract higher numbers of viewers or hold viewers attention for longer, perhaps. Or, if viewers are truly interested in the information, does a more basic and less expensive presentation suffice?
The Beginning of the Film
The setting at the very beginning of the film, a lecture by Steven Greer and people are entering the building and being body-scanned by a security person of some kind. Soon after this is shown, the narrator (Thomas Jane) says Most people dont know what a dead-mans trigger is well, googling this phrase reveals some odd definitions most relating to TV or movies, it seems. However, it seems to be a peculiar way of starting this film. In the first 7 minutes of the film, Ted Loder and Laurance Rockefeller are mentioned. It is not mentioned (not that it necessarily should be) that Loder is Greers cousin, but no real evidence of any kind at all is discussed and it becomes clear that the style of the film is one of docu-drama or something similar to that. The film runs for about 1 hour and 50 minutes (but there are an additional 6 minutes of credits at the end, listing those who helped fund the film).
Another analysis of some of the photos by Paolo V suggests Ata it is indeed a foetus and not a 6-year old child. Paolo V and suggests the lower 2 ribs have not developed and so there are only 10 in total. He points out the lack of developing/developed teeth (which would be seen, in some form, in a 6-year old child).
I have to point out that the Starchild skull and much other evidence outside the Greerosphere is not mentioned in any way, shape or form in the Sirius film.
The events of 9/11 are covered very briefly, and a, somewhat generalised, statement is made that it is hard to concretely prove 9/11 was a false flag attack. This is followed by short coverage of Kennedys Secrecy speech, Cynthia McKinneys question to Donald Rumsfeld on 10Sep 2001 about the missing trillions and there is mention of SAPS, USAPS and Black Projects. Of course, no kind of link between 9/11 and Black Projects is implied or openly stated the only possible clue that is given is that these things are covered one after the other in the film No mention is made of the direct, established connection between the free energy issue, cold fusion and 9/11, as shown in the research of Dr Judy Wood in her book Where Did the Towers Go?.
Consciousness and Contact
One of the other topics mentioned is the all important one of Consciousness and the analogy of how our consciousness seems to be something like a TV set which we can tune to allow us to decode certain signals or frequencies. This is not covered in depth (as with most topics in the film). Also, several segments of Greers CSETI retreats to different locations are intermingled with other footage. (Some footage has selected faces of people pixelated out). It is mentioned that Greer has been involved with training people to contact ETs using methods such as Coherent Thought Sequencing and Remote Viewing. (You can sign up for a trip/course at www.etcontactnow.com or find more information at www.cseti.org). I became quite interested in these aspects a few years ago, but did not explore them in depth, nor did I go on one of Greers retreats.
Further Additional Notes and Topics Covered
There is the necessary inclusion of Eisenhowers warning about the Military Industrial Complex from his 1961 leaving address. And then there is mention 24 countries opening their UFO files to scrutiny (although the nature of what has been revealed is not really discussed and most of the documents released simply discuss sightings by military and other personnel)
Conclusion
Having viewed the film, I would contend that in terms of the actual evidence discussed, there is little which is new in this film indeed, apart from the humanoid, I would describe the film as a kind of video blog about Dr Greer, punctuated with segments from the Disclosure Project witness testimonies recorded over 10 years ago. The Ata evidence is inconclusive, though Dr Greer does not seem keen to admit this nor does he acknowledge more solid, tested evidence that is readily available.
As mentioned above, there are huge holes in the film such as the absence of any discussion or even a mention of the evidence which proves the links between topics in the film and how the WTC was destroyed.
Also absent in the discussion of contact is what is being communicated and who or what is on the other side of that communication. Perhaps I am being unfair it is implied that feelings of peace, love and good will are to be communicated which is all very good and fine, though I suppose I am the sort of person looking for more specific concepts or information to be communicated in some ways. And if more specific information cannot be communicated, why isnt it said that There's a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us - But he thinks he'd blow our minds?
And, a key question is why is this film called Sirius? No explanation (that I could detect) is made in the film? Is it some encoded reference to the fascinating history of the Dogon Tribe? Sirius is not a place I have previously seen associated with any of Greers postings or published research.
So, overall, Sirius is like a Greer-centric version of Foster Gambles Thrive documentary (which I also made a short posting about) with less information in it and more of a UFO/ET slant. In both films, the most important information and links (re 9/11) are firmly omitted.
Overall, the film may serve a purpose in arousing the interest of certain types of people in the topics that are covered in the film. Beyond that, people will need to look elsewhere for much of the necessary detail and also, more critically, for the information which is left out. I think if they were going to spend money on an online rental of the film, it would be a waste as you can watch much better documentaries such as Out of the Blue for free, or get new or second-hand DVDs from places like Amazon.
What is more worrying to me is that Greer is yet again asking people to contribute money to his Sirius initiative, as he did with Seaspower, Aero2012 and the Orion Project, yet he has apparently no new information and no new plan. (When this question was asked of Greer in an interview with him at the time of the Citizens Disclosure Hearings, he became somewhat uncomfortable talking about it claiming that peoples lives had been threatened in the Orion Project. So how will the same thing not happen in this latest initiative and what did the $3 million Orion Project achieve?)
I hope that this article has served to supply some thoughts and information which are not generally available and it will encourage readers to think and research carefully and also to think carefully so that we can achieve the sorts of things that are talked about in films like Sirius and Thrive. It has become clear to me that unless the figures featured in these films (and the researchers and producers who make them) fully acknowledge the obstacles in our way as I have written about elsewhere on this website then significant and rapid positive change is far less likely because the same mistakes will be repeated endlessly, as they seem to have been in Steven Greers case since at least 2001.
Video testimony by an anonymous alleged former CIA official was shown at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on Friday, May 3.
UFO author and historian Richard Dolan interviewed Anonymous on March 5, 2013. Facing impending kidney failure, this individual felt compelled to disclose secret information he feels is too important to keep secret. In the video, he claims to have served in the U.S. Army, worked for the CIA, and worked on the U.S. Air Forces Project Blue Bookone of the USAFs official studies of UFOs. And he refers to the project as partially a fraud. Asking for clarification, Dolan states, Youre saying some of the Blue Book cases were completely fictitious? The anonymous man responds, Yes.

Anonymous alleges that, after an invasion threat from President Dwight Eisenhower, he and his superior at the CIA were allowed inside the secretive Area 51 in Nevada to gather intel and report back to the president. There, Anonymous describes seeing several alien spacecraft, including the craft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Then, he and his superior were taken to the S-4 facility southwest of Area 51 where they observed live extraterrestrials.
Author and UFO researcher Peter Robbins, who served as a witness at the Citizen Hearing, saw the video testimony as it was presented. He posted his reaction on his Facebook account: In my opinion, if it can be confirmed by any relevant supporting documentation, this moving and fascinating account does qualify as an authentic death bed testimony from an individual who convincingly claims to have been a CIA officer deeply involved in the matter or crashed and/or recovered craft, and at one time a liaison between the Agency and the President (Truman).
This testimony will be included in an upcoming documentary titled Truth Embargo.
Alien? Subhuman primate? Deformed child? Mummified fetus? The Internet is buzzing over the nature of "Ata," a bizarre 6-inch-long skeleton featured in a new documentary on UFOs. A Stanford University scientist who boldly entered the fray has now put to rest doubts about what species Ata belongs to. But the mystery is not over.
The story began 10 years ago, when the diminutive remains were reportedly found in a pouch in a ghost town in the Atacama Desert of Chile. Ata ended up in a private collection in Barcelona; producers of the film Sirius latched onto the bizarre mummy as evidence of alien life.
Last fall, immunologist Garry Nolan, director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Proteomics Center for Systems Immunology at Stanford in California, heard about Ata from a friend and contacted the filmmakers, offering to give them a scientific readout on the specimen. They asked him to give it a shot.
Among the apparent abnormalities, Ata sports 10 ribs instead of the usual 12 and a severely misshapen skull. "I asked our neonatal care unit how you would go about analyzing it. Had they seen this kind of syndrome before?" Nolan says. He was directed to pediatric radiologist Ralph Lachman, co-director of the International Skeletal Dysplasia Registry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. "He literally wrote the book on pediatric bone disorders," Nolan says. Lachman was blown away, Nolan recalls: "He said, 'Wow, this is like nothing I've ever seen before.' "
To study the specimen, Nolan sought clues in Ata's genome. He initially presumed the specimen was tens or hundreds of thousands of years oldthe Atacama Desert may be the driest spot on the planet, so Ata could have been preserved for eons. He consulted experts who had extracted DNA from bones of the Denisovans, an Asian relative of European Stone Age Neandertals. It turned out that their protocols weren't necessary. "The DNA was modern, abundant, and high quality," he says, indicating that the specimen is probably a few decades old.
To the chagrin of UFO hunters, Ata is decidedly of this world. After mapping more than 500 million reads to a reference human genome, equating to 17.7-fold coverage of the genome, Nolan concluded that Ata "is human, there's no doubt about it." Moreover, the specimen's B2 haplotypea category of mitochondrial DNAreveals that its mother was from the west coast of South America: Chile, that is.
Meanwhile, after examining x-rays, Lachman concluded that Aka's skeletal development, based on the density of the epiphyseal plates of the knees (growth plates at the end of long bones found only in children), surprisingly appears to be equivalent to that of a 6- to 8-year-old child. If that holds up, there are two possibilities, Nolan says. One, a long shot, is that Ata had a severe form of dwarfism, was actually born as a tiny human, and lived until that calendar age. To test that hypothesis, he will try to extract hemoglobin from the specimen's bone marrow and compare the relative amounts of fetal versus adult hemoglobin proteins. The second possibility is that Ata, the size of a 22-week-old fetus, suffered from a severe form of a rare rapid aging disease, progeria, and died in the womb or after premature birth.
Nolan hasn't yet turned up hits for genes known to be associated with progeria or dwarfism. He's stepping up the search for mutations through additional sequencing and casting a wider net. Another possibility is a teratogen: a birth defect-inducing toxicant along the lines of thalidomide. Nolan plans to analyze tissue using mass spectrometry to look for toxicants or metabolites. But reports of a handful of other Tom Thumb-sized skeletons from Russia and elsewhere have Nolan leaning toward a genetic explanation.
At least one expert has a more prosaic takebut agrees that the specimen is human. "This looks to me like a badly desiccated and mummified human fetus or premature stillbirth," says William Jungers, a paleoanthropologist and anatomist at Stony Brook University Medical Center in New York. He notes that "barely ossified and immature elements" of the hands and feet, and the wide open metopic suture, where the two frontal bones of the skull come together down the middle of the forehead. "Genetic anomalies are not evident, probably because there aren't any," he says. Nolan responds that the rib number and epiphyseal plate densities remain a riddle; while he is open to the fetus hypothesis, he thinks that the jury is still out.
Nolan's analysis went viral this week; besieged as he has been by the media circus, he doesn't regret having gotten involved in debunking a claim of alien life. "I'm thrilled with the outcome," he says. Once the analyses are complete, he says, he'll submit his findings for peer review. The other claim Nolan debunks is that Ata is an elaborate hoax. The x-rays clearly show these are real bones, complete with arterial shadows, he says. "You just couldn't fake it," he says, adding, with a laugh, "unless you were an alien."
Une nouvelle hypothèse sur les tracés géants du désert de Nazca, par Henri Stierlin. http://www.ssa-sag.ch/bssa/pdf/bssa47_06.pdf Je rappelle que Stierlin, comparatiste, historien, photographe épris de cette région du monde, connaissait sur le bout des ongles la culture Nazca. L'hypothèse qu'il développe mérite a minima d'être écartée avec plus de considération et d'arguments. Réaction: Merci J. de ton honnêteté. Pour l'hypothèse des tisserands, developpée dans l'article quej'ai remis à la sagacité de Magonie, on peut s'esclaffer pour reprendre les termes de Geneviève, mais Stierlin était un spécialiste incontestable des civilisations précolombiennes. Peut etre ces tracés avaient ils à la fois une utilité spirituelle, mystique et pratique. Pour en venir aux extraterrestres, il faut d'abord évacuer ces différentes propositions. Je citais hier une hypothèse plus récente que tu trouves bien résumée ici et qui rejoint clairement l'hypothèse émise par Giuseppe Orefici. http://www.futura-sciences.com/fr/news/t/homme/d/archeologie-les-geoglyphes-de-nazca-seraient-des-labyrinthes_43688/ T. C.
In UFO circles, much fuss has been made about a recent response by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to two petitions on extraterrestrial/human communications, posted on a government website. Phil Larson, who was tasked to respond, has been accused of everything from lying, to cover-ups, to gross incompetence. But the real problem lies with the inappropriate and fundamentally flawed content of the petitions themselves -- not with the government reply to them. The critics seem to have lost sight of what the petitions actually said and did not say, while insulting and lashing out at Larson.
One petition asks the Obama administration to "immediately disclose the government's knowledge of and communications with extraterrestrial beings" and the other to "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race." The former asks for congressional hearings about "this subject" (communications with ET) while the latter requests the release of documents about "this phenomenon" (an extraterrestrial presence). Thousands of people signed on to the assumptions that extraterrestrial beings have been secretly talking to our government or somehow are involved with the whole human race. Try thinking about these bizarre and murky statements from the perspective of a scientifically-oriented government official. How is he to make sense of such absurd requests?
Neither petition had anything to do with the subject of UFOs, as properly defined; no request for data on UFOs was included. And, chances are, Larson knows very little, if anything, about the evidence for UFOs. Like most government scientists, he likely dismissed the subject long ago as baseless and therefore irrelevant to space policy, and has never looked into it. Consequently, it's entirely logical that Larson would not make the leap from the question of extraterrestrial communications to the issue of physical unidentified flying objects. Did the petitioners not expect that their requests would be taken at face value?
Without asking for acknowledgment of evidence for UFOs, you can't slam Larson for not providing it. He addressed the petitioners' concerns with an update on the current status of the scientific search for extraterrestrial life: "The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye." The "any evidence" here refers specifically to evidence of ET interacting with humans, not to evidence for UFOs. Within the realm of science and logic, his statement happens to be true. Unfortunately, the badly worded petitions asked for the wrong thing -- something obviously impossible for the White House to deliver. And, sadly for all of us, the subsequent attacks on Larson's statement (called "a travesty against the public" by one leading UFO researcher) will not serve to motivate officials to help our cause.
It's important to realize that these two petitions received attention only because they acquired the requisite 5,000 signatures (now the minimum is 25,000) along with hundreds of others. Larson's response does not represent some kind of formal government statement on the UFO issue -- far from it. Larson simply provided an obligatory scientific response to citizens seeking an announcement of contact with extraterrestrials. The significance of his statement should not be blown out of proportion or spun as something that it is not.
I would like to share some comments from government insiders whom I asked to read the petition about an "extraterrestrial presence," since this one garnered the most signatures. Ed Rothschild, principal with the Podesta Group, a leading government relations and public relations firm in Washington, is "a seasoned veteran at strategic communications" with "dynamic experience in both Congress and the public interest community," according to the firm's website. Ed has provided assistance to my group, the Coalition for Freedom of Information, in the past, and is an expert at positioning the UFO issue in Washington. His response to the petition is as follows:
Those who claim that extraterrestrials are here are simply propagating nonsense -- a non-scientific belief that defies credibility. This is counter-productive and undermines efforts to get serious government attention for the issue of the existence of life beyond our solar system. I can't imagine this silly statement would go anywhere except into government office waste baskets. The only way to approach the issue of unexplained aerial phenomena in Washington and expect results is to present the facts and seek a legitimate inquiry into the small percentage of well-documented cases worthy of serious investigation. The approach represented by this petition has been shown many times before to be a failure. Further, those propagating this nonsense choose to make outrageous claims simply to get media attention, rather than focusing on the hard work that science requires.
Nick Pope, who worked for the UK's Ministry of Defense for 21 years and was in charge of the government UFO project in the 1990s, also has serious concerns:
Any statement that implies the government is lying is going to be counter-productive. When someone accuses you of being part of a cover-up, you can't and don't engage with them. I got this sort of thing all the time at the Ministry of Defense, and no meaningful dialogue was possible with such people. I simply gave them a polite brush-off, and I understand exactly why this is necessary within government. To get results, a constructive request should stress the reasons why the phenomenon is worthy of official investigation.
And what about members of Congress? The best I could do is approach a high level Hill staffer with knowledge of this issue, who wishes to remain anonymous. He works for a member from a relevant committee. "As is often said, politics is the art of the possible. Overly broad statements and fantastical claims of cover ups serve only to poison the well for anyone interested in advancing any subsequent suggestion for research or review of policies. Enthusiasm and conviction is no substitute for reason and evidence."
Scientists are a difficult bunch to convince. Yet theoretical physicist Michio Kaku acknowledged on national television that the strongest UFO cases cannot be explained and appear to defy the laws of physics. But when asked if this confirms that there is extraterrestrial life, Kaku replied "No, we don't have that smoking gun" yet. Astronomer Derrick Pitts was swayed by the same evidence, accepting it because it did not involve "fantastic claims of alien visitation."
Clearly, we can't make the leap from the existence of unknown airborne objects, for which we have proof, to claims of extraterrestrial communications, which can't be proven, if we want to appeal to scientists. Neal Lane, Rice University professor of Physics and Astronomy, was the director of the OSTP under President Clinton. "Implausible explanations for UFOs such as this one, made by enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists, are not effective in approaching government," he explained after reading the petition. "A strong case has already been made for a new U.S. role in cooperative investigations of UFO phenomena, involving U.S. cooperation with other countries in investigating the credible reports and making the results public." That "strong case" is the one I am proposing as an alternative rallying point, because it is steadily gaining the support of many key players who know how government works.
Despite our own personal beliefs about alien spaceships, extraterrestrials, or government cover-ups, we have to adopt a strategy that will work. Our assumptions and conclusions are completely irrelevant -- and can be harmful -- to this process. It is crucial to realize that the vast majority of U.S. officials are both uninformed about and uninterested in UFOs. And if they are open, they are so afraid of ridicule that they have limited capacity to act. We have to educate them by presenting refined, concise, and well-documented official data on the UFO phenomenon. Timing is important, too; unfortunately, an election year is not the time to attempt this.
An effective strategy involves establishing the fact that a UFO, by definition, is simply something unidentified (the acronym does not mean "alien spacecraft"); it helps to use the acronym UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) whenever possible. The agnostic position, the scientifically sound one, acknowledges the accumulated evidence of an extraordinary, physical phenomenon but recognizes that we don't yet know what it is. Secondly, we need to provide a reason that government should care about UAP, such as pointing out that we could be vulnerable to exotic foreign spy planes or drones if we ignore reports; that these objects raise significant air safety issues; that we're losing potentially valuable scientific data about the nature of this recurring phenomenon. Thirdly, we have to invite government to engage in an investigation because we need its expertise, making its participation sound necessary and beneficial, rather than being accusatory.
Specifically, we need a small government office to serve as a U.S. focal point in the investigation of carefully selected cases, in cooperation with the international community. A staffer would have immediate access to all pertinent data and witnesses when investigating a UFO incident, working in conjunction with a qualified civilian oversight board. This proposal has received the support of generals, former and current government and military officials, scientists, and many other VIPs from around the world.
John Podesta, President Clinton's former chief of staff who served as co-chair of Obama's transition team, has been one of the more public proponents of what he calls "a new way forward." Labeling himself a "curious skeptic," he wrote in 2010 that "It is definitely time for government, scientists, and aviation experts to work together in unraveling the questions about UFOs that have so far remained in the dark." He says that the plan for a small U.S. government agency is "an idea worth considering."
Former Arizona Governor Fife Symington witnessed a spectacular UFO event while in office, but felt he had to keep that secret until ten years later. He knows from experience that change in government policy is desperately needed, and in response, he has publicly urged establishing this office, as have those in charge of government agencies investigating UAP in other countries.
I have gathered a powerful coalition of high level government, military and scientific experts who support a rational, scientific approach to the UFO problem, as outlined here. We are all fortunate that such respectable figures have offered advice on how to frame this sensitive issue and work effectively with our government. Doesn't it make sense to take our cues from them? I invite all of those who are serious about UFOs to align themselves with this well-tested, productive approach. Once we have even the smallest change in the official position -- such as acknowledgement that UAP are worthy of investigation -- the door is opened. After that, anything will be possible.

On the right is Steven Bass who arranged the excellent Citizens Hearings on Disclosure. I was impressed by all the speakers and the retired Congressmen and Congresswomen. I wish they were still in office, but I will be sending them my weekly files and hope they will pass them on to their friends. The main ballroom of the 
I spoke with all these panel members who had excellent presentations. Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center, who recounted eyewitness reports of UFOs hovering motionless and able to change direction more quickly than earthly technologies would seem to allow. Peter Robbins, a researcher and lecturer, who told about the Rendlesham Forest Incident in the U.K., where U.S. Air Force personnel said they witnessed a UFO. Gary Heseltine, a former U.K. police detective, who has collected sightings from police officers stated, "I now have over 425 cases involving over 940 British police officers," Heseltine told the panel. "Over 70 percent of these cases are multiple-witness-officer cases."
Over time, NASA has continued to dismiss that there is liquid water on Mars. I wonder what their excuse will be about this one. There have been apparently other people that have found liquid water on Mars, however to my knowledge, no response for these people from NASA. I just happen to "so far to my knowledge", be the first one to find it in this area by "ZOOMING IN". Thanks to Dan Travers of Montrose, New York, MUFON UFO Researcher and Amateur Astronomer,

STS-61 was the first Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission, and the fifth flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The mission launched on 2 December 1993 from Kennedy Space Center restored the space borne observatory's vision, marred by spherical aberration, with the installation of a new main camera and a corrective optics package. The flight also brought instrument upgrades and new solar arrays to the telescope. With its very heavy workload, the eleven day mission was one of the most complex in the Shuttle's history and snapped this photo of a triangle in space. Astronaut Musgrave who was on the mission was rumored to going to talk at the Citizens Hearing. Thanks to NASA.
Niland -- My husband and I had just gotten married in Las Vegas and we were on our honeymoon sight-seeing in the nearby states. We arrived in Slab City at Salvation Mountain on April 25, 2013, at about 2:30 pm. I gave a donation and turned to take a picture of the awesome man made mountain. It was then that I started scrolling through the pictures and saw a UFO. I did not see it. I screamed and giggle hysterically because I had FINALLY caught a UFO after looking towards the sky for years. 
Clermont -- My friend and I saw six weird lights in the sky in the same general area on May 4, 2013. We were on a side road off of highway 27 just north of the Citrus Tower at 8:37 PM. They were silent and seemed pretty close. I snapped this picture and you can see three of them in the picture. We have no clue what it could have been.
taken on March 29, 2013, from 2:19 until 2:40 PM, this strange face in the clouds. The witness states, I am finding ufos nearly daily 
BROWNING -- William Puckett reports, I called the witness regarding a sighting of strange lights in the sky that occurred on April 19, 2013. She said that, These strange behaving lights have recently been noted on many nights and have been witnessed by family members. 
I got up early to take a picture of the grass I cut so after I snapped a picture on April 23, 2013, something told me to look up to the left then my heart stopped and I felt scared. 
A three man crew was flying a FEDEX MD-11 from Paris, France to Memphis, Tennessee on Saturday night about 0130Z, at FL340, heading 280 Magnetic on 28 April 2013. We noticed an object almost directly in front of us and about 45 degrees from the horizon that went from dim to bright, to dim again and then disappeared. 
we thought that it couldnt have gone around the earth in that amount of time. Then, we saw it again. This time I started my clock to time the event. 
DARLINGTON This photo was taken by Rob Hartland over the Perth Hills on April 29, 2013. The Sunday Times newspaper in Perth has published this story with photos. 
SAULT STE MARIE -- The night of May 6th, 2013, around 10:30 PM, I was in the back yard looking up at the clear night sky talking on the phone when I saw what appeared at first to be the V-shape of Canada Geese. There was no sound of their honking and the shape did not change. As it came closer I realized that it was a silent triangular shaped craft with dim lighting on the leading edge flying north. The altitude was hard to judge but it looked to be 3-4 thousand feet up. I mentioned the sighting to my girlfriend, whom I was talking to. The triangle disappeared behind a tree. Thanks to MUFON CMS
The Airbus A320 was making its final approach to Glasgow Airport on December 2, 2013, when an object passed about 300 feet underneath it.
