Scientists and international government officials gather to discuss UFOs (Video) | Openminds.tv

Scientists and international government officials gather to discuss UFOs (Video)

Posted by: Alejandro Rojas July 2, 2013 0 1130 Views

The Center for UFO Research held the 2013 Symposium on Official and Scientific Investigation of UAP (UFOs) this weekend in Greensboro, North Carolina. Open Minds was there to cover the event and got exclusive interviews with the scientists and government officials who were there to discuss their research and investigations.

The event was financed and organized by Kent Senter, who has researched the UFO phenomena for over 25 years. He was one of the founding members of the North Carolina chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Senter is battling an incurable cancer, and wanted to put together a credible conference as part of his “bucket list.” Early on his cancer was misdiagnosed, and with some of the money he was awarded in a settlement, he was able to bring in the best people from all over the world to accomplish his goal of elevating the credibility of UFO research.

In order to help him gather the most credible international group, he enlisted the help of Leslie Kean. Her book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record, was a New York Times best-seller, and has garnered positive attention from mainstream media and scientists.

Included among the international speakers were two representatives from official government UFO research organizations. One of those is Xavier Passot, the head of GEIPAN, a UFO investigative group that is part of France’s CNES (National Centre for Space Studies), which is the equivalent to NASA here in the US. The other official was Jose Lay, the international affairs director of Chile’s Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA). This organization is a branch of the General Administration of Civil Aeronautics, which is similar to our FAA.

Other international speakers included retired Major General Wilfried De Brouwer of the Belgium Air Force. He presided over the official investigation of 2000 reports of triangular shaped UFOs over Belgium from 1989 to 1991. He says the witnesses included highly credible individuals including pilots and police officials.

An incredible case involving the Unites States military was presented by retired Colonel Charles Halt, who in 1980 was the deputy base commander at RAF Bentwaters in England when he and other Air Force personnel witnessed UFO activity over the period of a few nights. Bentwaters was being leased by the US from the UK government, and the files on this case were included in the UK government’s recent release of UFO files.

Representatives from academia also spoke, such as Alexander Wendt, professor of International Security, who spoke on the UFO taboo. Similarly, emeritus professor of sociology, Ron Westrum spoke on how society deals with controversial discoveries. Astronomer and author, Jeffrey Bennett, presented on the scientific search for extraterrestrial life, and Dr. Richard Haines presented UFO investigations of reports from pilots.

Finally, Nancy Talbott spoke on the science of crop circles, and Timothy Good, UK author and researcher, spoke on the history of UFO research.

The gathering was a once in a lifetime chance to visit with officials, military personnel, professors, and other credible researchers from around the world. We got a lot of great interviews and besides this video, will be posting several others focused on the work of some of these incredible people.

The Octopus from Hell by Steve Erdmann . Seymour started with mystery deaths and drug dealings in Mariposa County, California and recounted comments by Vivian L. Wagner of DIG (Decency in Government) and her letter to President Reagan about the missteps DIG encountered in the court system. Her frank opinion was rewarded by a prospective meeting, but her husband, attorney Chuck Wagner decided to “close shop”, desert his practice and disappear. Seymour never found out why. More...

Dr. Barry Taff: A Veteran Of The Psychic Wars by Sean Casteel. Dr. Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the connection between psi events and UFOs. His own psychic experiences began in childhood, and he has no doubt of the reality of some form of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand. More...

Are Aliens Part of God’s Domain? by Diane Tessman. If you believe in God, you have to ask yourself, “Did God create aliens too?” If you do not believe in God, you have to wonder how life managed to pop up on far distant planets which have environments that seem hostile to life. If aliens are from other dimensions, is our God in their dimension too? If aliens are future human time travelers, did God make it to the future? More...

Did God Create The Universe? by Nigel Grogan. I am an avid reader of UFO Digest articles and am continually amazed at the wide variety of theories and explanations for the existence of UFOs, covering all aspects of the phenomena, from their origins to their ultimate intentions. More...

UFO Photographed in the River Islands of Victoria in Argentina by Scott Corrales. A member of a photo club based in the city of Victoria was shooting the landscape when an unidentified flying object turned up in one of the pictures. The image was submitted to experts on the subject, who will know whether the object is a UFO or not. More...

Why Take Alien Abduction Seriously? by Kathy Marden . You and your spouse are en route to your weekend camping enclave near Buena Vista, Colorado. Family and friends await your arrival. You have descended Kenosha Pass, a 10,000 foot high cut that leads toward Jefferson and the South Park Valley, when suddenly your eyes were drawn to a lighted object in freefall. You begin to shift sideward toward the desert floor, under someone else’s control. As if only a moment has passed you find yourself miles away, on a different stretch of road, with no memory of how you arrived there. Fifty-five miles has simply vanished. More...

California mom-daughter encounter chevron UFO by Roger Marsh. A California mom and daughter northbound along Highway 88 in Alpine County reported a "chevron-shaped object just above the tall tree line" that hovered and slowly moved south about 8 p.m. on January 8, 2013, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. More...

UFOs, Vikings and Bigfoots? by Doc Vega. Let me preface this article with an interesting story that came from a tabloid I had read back in the mid 1990’s. It pertains to the following article and attests to the nature of the mighty Vikings. According to the account an ancient record that was handed down describes a UFO encounter from the distant past experienced by the Leif Erickson’s crew who were on their way to North America. I am not sure about what medium that this historic account was recorded in as the Vikings did not supposedly have a written language. Even though the Norsemen were considered incredible craftsman, weapon makers, and accomplished artists, there was no written word. Perhaps these accounts came as a result of pictograms or engraved images. More... Also read: UFOs, Vikings and Bigfoots? Part II and UFOs, Vikings and Bigfoots? Part III

National Archives UFO Files by Nick Pope. In my first column for UFO Digest, back in April, I gave an overview of the five-year program to declassify and release the entire archive of British Government UFO files, sending them from the Ministry of Defense to the National Archives. What I couldn’t reveal at the time (as the story was under strict media embargo) was that the final batch of files was soon to be released. Now that this has occurred, I can write the final chapter in what’s been one of the biggest UFO-related stories in recent years and answer the questions I’m most often asked about all this. More...

Floating Orb Playing With Planes and More! by Dirk Vander Ploeg.I had the opportunity to interview Carolyn, who now lives in Petrolia, Ontario, which is approximately 25-miles from Sarnia, Ontario. She is a 38-year old woman who has worked as an actor, model and in film production. She has experienced several strange events over the past few years. More...

The Haunting Ground Of Aristocrats by Charles Moulton. The greatest summers of my childhood were spent in what now is one of East Sweden’s top tourist attractions: Kalmar. The inner city today is the home of around 25 trendy restaurants, museums, boat trip rides, beaches and a marvelous castle. Visiting my grandmother, hearing my mother Gun Kronzell sing in concerts, playing with my best friend on Sweden’s sunniest island Öland, visiting what my father Herbert Moulton described as: “A magic tree that drops presents from its branches!”, falling in love with the local girl: those were all memories concieved to adore.

Massive Bee deaths over 36 million found in Elmwood Canada by Carolyn Shield. Canadian beekeepers have lost over 600 hives with the estimation of over 36 million honeybee deaths in Elmwood Canada. The beekeepers noticed the bees’ deaths after GMO corn crops were introduced to the farms. The European Union has placed a ban on GMO seeds due to studies indicating they are responsible with pesticides for massive bees’ deaths. More... 

From the Journal of Cheetah and Jane: Rotten to the Core by Shy Brown. I had a strong intuition about people, things and events. I mostly kept it to myself, since I was not a very vocal child. After my near-death experience, I went back in the hospital three more times before the age of six. I had three surgeries to correct my problem with being “wall-eyed.” For those of you who do not know what “wall-eyed” means, this condition is the exact opposite of being cross-eyed. More...

We're done here, now go away

David Clarke, the tireless Sheffield Hallam University professor whose decade-long quest in getting his country’s National Archives to release UFO files compiled by the British Ministry of Defence, reached the end of the road on June 23 with a final data-dump into the public domain. And he signed off on that last batch with I-told-you-so relish. There were no smoking guns amid the 52,000 pages released since the incremental undertaking began in 2009, and even veteran British researcher Jenny Randles lauded Clarke’s persistence.

To much fanfare, the British Ministry of Defence finally ended the public distribution of its largely banal and pedestrian UFO case files last month/CREDIT: superscholar.org

“I may not agree with everything that he says on the subject — but I do with much of it and respect all of his views about the remainder,” she wrote in an addendum to Clarke’s parting shots. “I certainly know that he is nobody’s puppet. And I, for one, say thank you for his efforts.”

Based solely on the evidence presented by UK authorities — and the MoD’s ostensible exculpatory transparency — Clarke’s obituary on that nation’s ufology would appear well sourced. But by pulling in some American “Skeptical Inquirer” types to fortify his position, Clarke clearly overreaches in his alacrity to settle the worldwide UFO problem once and for all. No room, of course, for the testimony of former Belgian Air Force general Wilfried de Brouwer concerning the F-16 scrambles during 1989-90 European wave, or flight-safety issues raised by former NASA scientist Richard Haines, both of whom presented their evidence at a symposium just last weekend in Greensboro, N.C. Truth is, you could spend all night listing Clarke's points of omission and it wouldn’t make a dime's worth of difference here. Not when you forsake good data and credible witnesses for shopworn cliches, as Clarke chose to.

“... My favourite quote of the whole two day media event,” he wrote of the reception to the final MoD document delivery, “came from the New York Times as follows: ‘Dr. Clarke, who has approached the UFO phenomenon from a sociological perspective, noted that many UFO sightings came from the Scottish city of Glasgow between 10 p.m. and midnight — around the time the pubs are closing.’”

Wow. Drunk eyewitnesses again. Fascinating. Zzzz.

Clarke also took a few shots at fellow British ufologists Nick Pope and Timothy Good for holding “preconceived beliefs” in their failure to trust The Official Story “because it is in their interest [as UFO authors] to keep the mystery alive and kicking.”

Clarke draws a particularly critical bead on Pope, who anchored the MoD’s UFO desk from 1991-94. He charges Pope with hypocrisy for requesting that his own UFO-related records remain exempt from disclosure.

“The reason these papers are being with-held,” Clarke alleges, “is because they contain information about Nick Pope’s ‘conversion’ to UFO believer that followed his alien abduction experience in Florida in 1991. This happened shortly before he joined the ‘UFO desk’ when he claims he had little or no interest in the subject.”

Now that’s actually interesting.

In denying the abduction story in an email to De Void — “I've never even seen a UFO!” — Pope sought to clarify the record. To wit:

“Some UK-based ufologists took exception to the fact that I used some pseudonymous cases in my book on alien abductions, ‘The Uninvited’. I replied that witness confidentiality applied without exception and added ‘even if it was me’ as a joke. The joke spread and I replied that I could "neither confirm nor deny" (NCND) the rumor. NCND is a Ministry of Defense in-joke, just as ‘I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you’ is an in-joke in the intelligence community.

“The only documents that I requested the MoD withhold are ones relating to my work as a freelance journalist, broadcaster and PR consultant. Clarke is one of a small group of UK ufologists who are absolutely obsessed with me, in view of my government work on UFOs. This bizarre groups of oddballs — which includes a deeply unpleasant individual who runs an anti-Semitic blog — have submitted multiple FOI requests to MoD about me and poison the blogosphere with incessant hate-filled rantings about my government work — in many people's eyes I still work for the government and am personally responsible for the UFO cover-up! I took the view — and the MoD agreed — that documents relating to my business activities were private and should certainly not be passed to some of the more unpleasant characters who lurk on the fringes of ufology.”

Hypocrisy? Well, at the very least, it tells us the MoD still has stuff tucked away in its UFO files. Pope also reminded De Void — as indeed, Clarke reminded his readers — that Clarke never possessed a security clearance during his UFO research and has reviewed only declassified, or unclassified, material.

“I suspect there's some sour grapes here,” Pope went on, “because one of the documents in MoD's UFO files referred to Clarke and a couple of his fellow ufologists as ‘the UFO spotters’ - a pejorative UK term meaning someone with an obsessive, nerdish and naïve perspective on the subject. It was one of my successors who wrote that, but as I'm the 'public face' of MoD's UFO project, ufologists tend to blame me for just about everything!”

Then there’s this caveat from prolific British researcher and author Good, who greeted the MOD’s “glasnost” with a shrug: “That was done in a civilian desk within the MoD which Nick headed ... The real work is done behind the scenes (e.g. military intelligence). You may recall that in ‘Above Top Secret’ I exposed for the first time the Top Secret UFO research unit then at RAF Rudloe Manor (now elsewhere).”

This is running long for a little blog, so let’s wrap it up on a word from Jenny Randles, who discovered something from these MoD crumbs that we Yanks regrettably picked up on from the Pentagon decades ago, after it was far too late: “... The MoD was never — and is not now — the correct body to collate such data and spend precious resources on a subject that really needs to be demystified and placed into the realms of scientific study.”

OK, so who wants to pony up and start from scratch?

British UFO Document Release is Really a Coverup, says UFO Abductee Nick Pope

UFO Abductee Nick Pope, formerly of the MoD UFO Desk

Nick Pope is a major UFO celebrity, originally from the U.K. but now living in the U.S. He claims that he was skeptical of UFOs prior to his work at the MoD UFO desk (there never was such a thing as a "UFO Project"), but in fact Pope believes he was abducted by aliens during a trip to Florida in 1991, before he began working for the MoD. The Sunday Times of London reported on February 7, 1999 that

The Ministry of Defence official who once headed investigations into unidentified flying objects believes he was abducted by aliens. Nick Pope, who ran the ministry's top secret Airstaff Secretariat office during the early 1990s, believes that he, his girlfriend and their car were abducted from a deserted toll road in Florida. He has described how he was lifted aboard an alien spacecraft and then wandered around its corridors - without, however, meeting any aliens. 

 The next speaker was Nick Pope, who supposedly ran "the British Government's UFO Project," although in reality he didn't run anything, and worked part-time on the UFO Project from 1991 to 1994. He began his talk on the defensive, emphasizing that he did not actually predict an alien invasion, as many news stories and blogs reported last summer. I was, he said, merely promoting a space war type of video game, and reporters took my comments out of context. I wrote a Blog entry about this last August 22. Comments like, "The government must - and has planned - for the worst-case scenario: alien attack and alien invasion. Space shuttles, lasers and directed-energy weapons are all committed via the Alien Invasion War Plan to defence against any alien ships in orbit." Sorry Nick, that excuse doesn't work, as anyone can tell if they Google "Nick Pope Alien Invasion," which also brings up a story from October 12, 2012, "Britain has alien-war weapons, says former government adviser," and even "Aliens Could Attack at Any Time" from 2006. Stop trying to fool us, Nick, and admit you said these things.

One reason that UFOlogists are upset is that the newly-released UFO files contain nothing whatsoever of any real interest, and are in fact rather embarrassing to the pro-UFO side. As reported by the BBC,

Carl Mantell of the RAF's Air Command, suggested the MoD should try to significantly reduce the UFO work. He said it was "consuming increasing resource, but produces no valuable defence output". He told Mr Ainsworth that in more than 50 years, "no UFO sighting reported to [the MoD] has ever revealed anything to suggest an extra-terrestrial presence or military threat to the UK"... Among the 4,400 pages of documents released are:

•  A letter from a school child in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, to the MoD, dated January 2009, asking if aliens exist after she had seen some strange lights, and including a drawing of an alien in a UFO waving

• A report received via the UFO hotline by someone who had been "living with an alien" in Carlisle for some time

• A report from a man from Cardiff who claimed a UFO abducted his dog, and took his car and tent, while he was camping with friends in 2007

One of the UFO documents recently released by the UK MoD. When my name was included on a list prepared by NASA of people who might have information on UFOs (since they did not), I used to receive dozens of letters like this from school children requesting information. I would usually reply with just a page or two of skeptical materials, but I suppose that was not what they wanted to receive.

Dr David Clarke, according to The Telegraph, "has been the National Archives 'UFO consultant' for five year project, during which it has made public more than 52,000 pages of official government files relating to mysterious sightings." Clarke is a former reporter and currently course leader and senior lecturer in journalism at Sheffield Hallam University teaching media law and investigation skills. His Ph.D is in Folklore from the National Centre for English Cultural Tradition, University of Sheffield.  Since 2008 he has been working with The National Archives (TNA) as their consultant for the ongoing release of the UFO files created by Britain's Ministry of Defence.

Clarke says that 

 from 2000 onwards my FOI campaign made me a thorn in the side of the MoD to the extent that after seven years of constant pressure they relented and decided to transfer all surviving UFO papers to The National Archives. But instead of hailing the disclosure as a breakthrough, conspiracy nuts have portrayed it as a cover-up because the documents do not provide any support for their beliefs.

Pope replied by saying that 

 A claim by the British Ministry of Defence that UFOs have no defense significance is "designed solely to keep Parliament, the media and the public off our backs," according to former MoD UFO Desk administrator Nick Pope....  Official MoD spokesmen and one self-styled UFO expert, David Clarke, claim that the MoD found no evidence of a UFO threat to the UK and, therefore, closed its UFO Desk....Regarding David Clarke, Pope says, "Some people would probably use the term 'useful idiot' to describe his parroting the MoD 'no defense significance' sound bite."  

Robert Hastings

 Robert Hastings, famous for his "UFOs and Nukes" claims, jumped into the fray. Last August I wrote about Hastings' absurd charges about CSI(COP), such as the following:

Highly relevant to this discussion is my research into Sheaffer’s affiliation with the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI) which was previously named The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP). As journalist Terry Hansen has argued in The Missing Times, the historical role of CSICOP (now CSI) strongly suggests it has been performing as an intelligence community “front organization”—pumping anti-UFO propaganda into the media without revealing its true source or motivation.

    Well-known “skeptic” Robert Sheaffer’s performance in Secret History of UFOs, the National Geographic network’s latest debunking-disguised-as-documentary, begs the question: At what point does the systematic presentation of half-truths and outright falsehoods about the UFO phenomenon cross the line from incompetent scholarship to intentional disinformation?

    As I noted in my last article, given the extremely biased and propagandistic treatment of the UFO subject one consistently finds on Nat Geo, it might reasonably be argued that the network has been working behind the scenes with the CIA to debunk the phenomenon. 

Now Hastings is claiming

it appears that what the MoD has been engaging in is the selective declassification of UFO-related files, whereby low-level, generally mundane documents are released with much media fanfare, while very sensitive files continue to be withheld from public view. The practice is commonly called “spin”. The purpose of this propaganda tactic is to alter the actual story of official interest in the UFO phenomenon, so that it appears as if there exists only minimal concern or none at all.

Hastings' primary evidence seems to be tired old, long-refuted claims concerning the UK Rendlesham Forest 'UFO landing' in 1980.

Clarke wrote in 2010 that

Within the next 18 months the Ministry of Defence will complete their disclosure programme of UFO-related documents. But some UFOlogists continue to demand they “come clean on all levels”. They believe there are more secret documents being held back that contain evidence of alien visitations. I can reveal the only documents MoD intends to permanently conceal from the public concern their secret dealings not with aliens, but with a former member of their own staff – Nick Pope.

Clarke had made a Freedom of Information request of the MOD for “copies of MoD papers, records or other information relating to internal discussion, policy and/or briefings in response to public statements made to the media and via the release of Open Skies, Closed Minds by Nick Pope during the period 1995-96.” As Clarke explained to Pope at the time, "my request was specifically for “internal comment on your Press interviews in 1996 and MoD’s discussion of what line to take” and not for access to his private correspondence with his employers over the clearance of his manuscript (with one exception that concerns a specific letter which he had quoted from in the public domain)." Clarke's request was not granted, and it turns out that the reason was that Pope “has written to the MoD and asked for the information not to be released into the public domain.”

So much for "full disclosure!" Probably the reason that Pope opposes the release of such documents is that they undoubtedly would contain more comments like these:

  “…far from accurately representing the Department’s position [on UFOs], he [Nick Pope] has sought to embellish the truth at almost every turn.” (from a document prepared by one of Pope's line managers in 2000-2001, DEFE 24/2019, released into the National Archives in 2011).

"A great pity that a more permanent abduction by aliens cannot be arranged. I'm not surprised that they did not want to keep him." (one of Pope's managers scribbled this comment in a margin of one of the redacted documents released by the MoD and dated  10 October 1995)

End the UFO Coverup, Nick, and release the files!

There is a very interesting 2009 article in Tim Printy's Sun-Lite about Pope by someone calling himself "Col. Arnold Moulder" (but is probably Colonel Mustard, with the candlestick, in the library). It describes Pope's efforts to hide these documents, and gives numerous other examples of Pope playing fast and loose with facts.

Les Informations du jour des Rencontres Ufologiques

NICK POPE QUE NOUS AVONS REÇU A PARIS EN 2007 S’EXPRIME AUX USA DANS « UFO DIGEST » A PROPOS DES ARCHIVES NATIONALES BRITANNIQUES CONCERNANT LES OVNIs,  ARCHIVES RÉCEMMENT RENDUES PUBLIQUES

Commentaires des « Rencontres Ufologiques »  sur les déclarations de Nick Pope.

.Nick Pope nous apprend que le gouvernement Britannique a mis en place un programme sur cinq ans pour libérer et déclassifier l’ensemble des archives relatives aux OVNIs, détenues par le gouvernement. Ces documents quittent donc, par vagues successives,  le ministère de la Défense pour le département des archives nationales.

Voilà pourquoi chaque année nous avons droit à des commentaires, souvent nébuleux et tendancieux, dans la presse mondiale, diffusés par quelques agences de presse parfaitement choisies. Certains documents y sont mentionnés et on peut accéder sur internet à une sélection de ces informations jusqu’alors confidentielles.

Selon Nick Pope, il connaissait depuis plusieurs mois l’existence de ce dernier lot de fichiers,  maintenant libéré, mais il ne pouvait le révéler car l’information était confidentielle. Pour lui, c’est une des plus importantes décisions liés au dossier ovni de ces dernières années. Rappelons que Nick Pope est Britannique, qu’il a été le responsable du MOD, le service qui au sein du Ministère de la Défense s’est occupé durant plusieurs décennies du dossier ovni.

Nick Pope se pose la question de savoir si tous les documents ont bien été libérés.

Bien évidemment pour lui, c’est NON !  Il met en avant que dans la loi Informatique et Liberté qui est en vigueur en Grande Bretagne,  de larges catégories de motifs exonèrent l’état de son obligation de rendre public les documents demandés. Ces catégories sont entre autre la Défense, la Sécurité nationale et le Renseignement.  Nick Pope a la conviction que le gouvernement et ses services, ont donc conservé le «  black- out » sur un certain nombre de documents. Il  a travaillé pour le Ministère de a Décence, il sait comment cela se passe.

Nick Pope est surpris par le fait que le Gouvernement Britannique et ses services reconnaissent publiquement que certains documents, parmi les meilleurs,  aient été «  égarés »  ou « détruits » accidentellement. Parmi ces dossiers,  des fichiers relatifs à l’incident de la forêt de Randlesham, des photos parmi les plus intéressantes communiquées au Ministère de la Défense, le journal de bord d’un navire qui contiendrait des informations sur un OVNI vu lors d’un exercice militaire de l’Otan, un film pris par des militaires qui ont été envoyé avec leur avion de chasse, pour intercepter un ovni etc….. On  a connaissance de certaines traces d’observations qui ne sont pas divulguées car il en est fait mention, par exemple,  dans les journaux internes de certaines bases de la RAF.  On sait aussi que les pilotes évitent d’utiliser le terme ovni et parlent  de quasi accident avec un avion inhabituel ou un hélicoptère non conventionnel.  Il y a donc en conséquence selon Nick Pope, de nombreuses traces relatives à des affaires qui ne sont pas rendues publiques dans les documents libérés ces dernières années.

Nick Pope, bien informé, dément catégoriquement que ces informations rendues publiques soient un prélude à la divulgation. En Angleterre des centaines de personnes ont demandé la libération d’informations précises  à propos du dossier ovni. (Nous n’en sommes pas encore là en France !) Le Ministère plutôt que de passer son temps à rechercher, jour après jour, lettre après lettre, les informations demandées, a décidé tout simplement de rechercher tout ce qui a trait au phénomène et de le diffuser par «  lot » selon un programme étalé sur  5 années. Aucun rapport avec un acte délibéré destiné à dénigrer le phénomène ou à préparer le grand public à une hypothétique révélation.

Nick Pope rappel que la position officielle américaine est que depuis la clôture du Projet Blue Book, ils ne font plus aucune enquête sur les ovnis. Donc, si les britanniques libèrent  des documents, au niveau des états Unis, il ne faut pas s’attendre à ce qu’ils fassent de même. Pour les américains, officiellement, ils n’ont donc plus rien à révéler. Par contre, on peut avoir des doutes sur cette position car les U.S.A  ont bien enquêté sur des affaires comme Rendlesham (après 1969 !) ou en 1976 dans l’affaire du pilote militaire qui en Iran a été envoyé avec son avion de chasse, en direction d’un ovni !

Nick Pope estime qu’en Grande Bretagne la libération de ces archives à fondamentalement changé la façon dont les médias considèrent aujourd’hui le sujet ovni. Il y a évidemment toujours des émissions qui préfèrent rire de ce phénomène en espérant ainsi une plus large audience, en faisant appel «  aux petits  hommes verts » ou aux thèmes de « The X-Files ». Mais,  en général, les médias et les journalistes qui ont découverts à travers tous ces documents la réalité du phénomène ovni ; des descriptions précises de la part de centaines de témoins, ont une toute autre opinion. Le travail fait durant plusieurs décennies par le Ministère de la Défense prouve aussi que ces objets étaient vraiment pris en considération et que des enquêtes approfondies ont été faites sur de nombreux cas, qui ne sont toujours pas expliqués. La présence d’Ovni, suivi sur des milliers de kms par les radars militaires Britanniques, tout en effectuant des manœuvres impossibles selon notre technologie et ceci à des vitesses extraordinaires ou encore les communications objet d’un brouillage lors de tentative d’interception d’ovni  sont autant d’indices qui laissent perplexe la presse. A l’évidence elle se rend compte que le phénomène est loin d’être aussi inoffensif que le gouvernement voudrait le faire croire.

What to read past issues? View Filer's Files Archives

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.

Note to readers: Next Filer's Filers will be out over the weekend on July 13th.

Special Reports

In June 2013 there were 744 sightings reported to MUFON through CMS from the following countries; 638 in the US, 43 in Canada, 17 in the UK, and 7 in Australia, 5 in Argentina.

Abductee Letter

Susan writes, “I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for faithfully sending out the Filer’s Files on a regular basis. I've had ET encounters for several years now, starting with an abduction in 1995. Back then I had a difficult time accepting what happened. It hasn't been until recently that I've "come out" so to speak with my experiences.” I started posting a few of my sightings, including my abduction case on MUFON.

The experiences I have had beyond sightings would be a difficult thing to explain to someone unless they were very open minded. Luckily my fiancée has an open mind and I can discuss these things with him. You might find this interesting: My most recent experiences with the grays happened last fall at my parent's house. There’s something that has helped me accept these encounters as a reality.

Because of the nature of the way the grays have interacted with me, it is difficult to pinpoint it to an actual entity encounter. What made me feel less crazy is that when we last visited my parent’s house; my partner actually saw one of the entities that were previously interacting with me. He was packing up our things downstairs getting ready for us to go back home and saw a tall grey being emerge from the wall of the room. This grey had on a typical suit, like a dress suit that humans would wear. He didn't see a physical 3D being in the room but definitely saw this grey guy come through the wall. When my partner described him to me, the personality of this grey exactly matched the personality of the guy that interacted with me that fall. This guy had kind of an ego, like he was "cool" or whatever!

He then told my partner something along the lines of being part of a "ground crew", whatever that means. He said that they were taking on more human qualities in order to interact with us better or something of that nature. I had extensive "discussions" with this guy the previous fall and became well acquainted with his ego personality type.  Maybe the ego/macho kind of thing just stands out more than the other ones. 

The Filer’s Files emails you send are tremendous encouragement. They help me feel like I'm not alone in this, that there are others out there who experience these amazing and unusual encounters as well.  Thanks to Susan

Is God Angry or is China Controlling Our Weather

The history of the world is often written that when a nation chooses not to follow God’s commandments and that nation suffers his wrath. The jet streams are setting up patterns that are very unusual in the spring and summer causing excessive heat and precipitation in many parts of the world. The US West is having monster hot high pressure with many Western weather stations reaching all-time record high temperatures while the South and East of the US have record rainfalls and flooding.

During the Olympics the Chinese controlled the weather preventing rain and have been conducting significant weather modification. Allegedly HARRP and similar projects can disrupt the world’s weather patterns. The US has been suffering from massive tornadoes and the hot weather is setting up for a disastrous hurricane season. Thunderstorms with numerous lightning strikes and high winds are causing fire storms and the recent of hundreds of homes and the loss of 19 fire fighters in Prescott, Arizona. The news claims Mother Nature is angry. There is something strange happening causing the drastic changes in the weather. On top of the heat there are lightning strikes creating fires. The East and South is receiving record rain fall and flooding.

3 July 2013 – Shows a hot monster ridge of high pressure over Nevada/Idaho with a northerly jet stream arching from the Canadian NWT down to the Texas Gulf Coast Typical for January, but not July.  Not ever during the summer months is this pattern normal. 

NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD

The weather patterns are abnormal with a highly anomalous flow that leads to scorching heat in the west and days of cloudbursts in the east. Philadelphia has had cloudbursts on nine out of ten days and another seven days are predicted with flooding. Meanwhile the West is suffering with

triple-digit daily maximum temperatures, with some locations exceeding all-time highs. The duration of the string of triple-digit days in normally hot places like the central valley of California, the great basin, and the deserts of the southwest may even outdo themselves, with new all-time records.

The Mountain Pine Beetle is flourishing and thereby decimating our precious Western National Forests making them vulnerable to fires. The rains in the East are causing unusually heavy mosquito population. The Earth is in trouble as a living entity and is fighting for its survival. If internal or external events begin to throw Earth out of balance i.e. orbital, tilt, or magnetic alignment - it begins to correct itself.

Peru Winged Beings

A rare, undisturbed royal tomb has been unearthed in Peru, revealing the graves of three Wari queens buried alongside gold and silver riches and possible human sacrifices. Though the surrounding site has been looted many times, this mausoleum has managed to evade grave robbers for hundreds of years, archaeologists say. The Wari Empire flourished between A.D. 700 and 1000 throughout much of present-day Peru. At a time when Paris had just 25,000 residents, the Wari capital Huari was home to 40,000 people at its height, according to National Geographic, which reported the find.

But a team led by Polish and Peruvian archaeologists discovered an underground mausoleum sealed for centuries under 30 tons (27 metric tons) of loose stone fill is being billed as the first unlooted Wari imperial tomb.  View gallery

Images of winged beings adorn a pair of gold-and-silver ear ornaments a high-ranking Wari woman wore …

The 1,200-year-old chamber was found in El Castillo de Huarmey, north of Lima. Milosz Giersz, an archaeologist at the University of Warsaw in Poland, told National Geographic that he first saw a faint outline of the mausoleum in aerial photographs of the site. In digging through to the "temple of the dead," the team reportedly discovered rows of human bodies buried in a seated position. They also found three Wari queens in small side chambers among valuable grave goods, such as gold tools for weaving, brilliantly painted ceramic vessels and a drinking cup carved from alabaster.
Over months of digging, the team unearthed more than a thousand artifacts from the site, including semi-precious stone beads, carved wooden artifacts, bronze axes and jewelry made from gold and silver. Peru's Minister of Culture announced the discovery on June 27.

Mars Has Domes, Boron and Oxygen

Martian clay may have harbored boron — a key component for one of the life’s molecular building blocks — at a time when life was just starting on the Earth, scientists say.

Researchers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa NASA Astrobiology Institute (UHNAI) have discovered high concentrations of boron in a Martian meteorite. When present in its oxidized form (borate), boron may have played a key role in the formation of RNA, one of the building blocks for life. Researchers found the Martian meteorite used in this study in Antarctica during 2010. The minerals it contains, clearly show that it is of Martian origin.

Using the ion microprobe in the WM Keck Cosmochemistry Laboratory at UH, the team was able to analyze veins of Martian clay in the meteorite. They determined boron abundances in these clays are over ten times higher than in any previously measured meteorite.

On Earth, borate-enriched salt, sediment and clay deposits are relatively common, but such deposits had never previously been found on an extra-terrestrial body. The study was published in journal PLOS One.

Mars had an oxygen-rich atmosphere 4,000 million years ago — more than a billion years before Earth and may still have some. Mars Spirit’ rover examined surface rocks in the Gusev crater.  “What we have shown is that both meteorites and surface volcanic rocks are consistent with similar origins in the deep interior of Mars but that the surface rocks come from a more oxygen-rich environment, probably caused by recycling of oxygen-rich materials into the interior,” said Professor Bernard Wood, of Oxford University’s Department of Earth Sciences.

John Jaeger, Director PUFOIN Alien Threat

John Jaeger writes, “I have to say that I don’t at all agree with Dr. David Jacob’s perspective in his book, “The Threat, the Secret Agenda.” If we are being visited and IF we have aliens among us I believe they would need to be benevolent because frankly, what would be the purpose of creating hybrids to take over our planet? They could have done that all on their own without all of the “middle-men” involved.  It simply isn’t logical.”

My mom’s family witnessed a cigar shaped UFO over a lake in upstate NY in the 50’s. My grandmother told me there were multiple objects while my mom and grandfather only saw the one. They were out on the lake and my grandfather decided to quickly row back to the shore. My grandmother and my mom’s sisters were on the shore. No one ever knew what the objects were but my grandfather wasn’t one to become unsettled easily.

“Who knows what these objects are. We know the government is at least 50 years ahead of our current level of technology on the market. A lot of what we see may be man-made.”

Orb Outside My Bedroom

Jeannette writes, “I went to bed very early on June 11, 2013, and woke up at 11:03 PM. due to persistent feelings of arousal. The dreams I was having had nothing to do with my physical sensation.  I noticed the lattes on the bedroom window.  Two were flat nearly 7” below my view level and the remaining were nearly at 35 degree angle. I fixed these two lattes to match the rest and went back to bed.  Still feeling as I had I rolled over to look at the window and saw that one of the lattes returned to its original position.  I got up again to match it against the others.  Because of my physical feelings I took pictures of the room.  I recently charged my camera battery but it held little charge after taking five previous pictures.  This is highly unusual as it has never happened before.  I went out in the backyard and looked where my instincts told me toward the S.E. and saw an orange orb.

“The more intensity I directed toward the orb the brighter it glowed.  When I diminished my glance or looked away then back again its glow diminished.  The orb had a hard edge to it and there was no soft light haze around it.  I experimented with my looking at it and as I consistently altered the intensity of my gaze it responded in kind either increasing or decreasing its light intensity.  When my feelings of arousal had gone the orb turned white.  I was pretty tired and was losing interest.  The orb was fading and it seemed to blink off and on until only part of the rim remained before finally disappearing from my view.  I tried again to take pictures but the camera failed probably due to its diminished capacity.  I have often thought that orbs either gather to or provoke energy so that they can collect it.” Thanks to Jeannette

British UFO Document Release Designed to Deflect Public and Media Interest

Former Ministry of Defence UFO Specialist

PR Newswire

WASHINGTON – On June 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A claim by the British Ministry of Defence that UFOs have no defense significance is "designed solely to keep Parliament, the media and the public off our backs," according to former MoD UFO Desk administrator Nick Pope.  

Pope's startling statement was in response to the MoD's release last week of what it says is its final batch of UFO documents. Official MoD spokesmen and one self-styled UFO expert, David Clarke, claim that the MoD found no evidence of a UFO threat to the UK and, therefore, closed its UFO Desk. The subsequent, widely-publicized declassification of its UFO documents—the implication being that nothing remained hidden—was intended to demonstrate the MoD's public transparency on the UFO issue.

In reality, Pope says, "the UK's Freedom of Information Act contains wide-ranging exemptions covering areas such as defense, security and intelligence" and the newly-available documents had already been "judged to be unclassified" before their release.  

Regarding David Clarke, Pope says, "Some people would probably use the term 'useful idiot' to describe his parroting the MoD 'no defense significance' sound bite."  

These and other provocative comments by Pope have just been published in an  article by UFOs and Nukes researcher Robert Hastings, who discovered a credible UFO involvement in the famous Rendlesham Forest/RAF Bentwaters case, which occurred in Suffolk, England.

Hastings interviewed the two U.S. Air Force air traffic controllers on duty at Bentwaters during a week of UFO activity there, and the nearby forest, in December 1980, who say they tracked a bona fide UFO on radar and saw the object hover—it appeared as an orange-colored sphere—before it raced away.

Hastings says that the UFO later hovered near the USAF's Weapons Storage Area (WSA), containing tactical nuclear bombs, and directed laser-like beams down into the facility. Bentwaters' former deputy base commander, now-retired Col. Charles Halt, first acknowledged the dramatic incident in 1991, saying that he had heard frantic radio chatter from Security Policemen at the WSA, describing the UFO and the beams, while he was investigating reports of strange lights in nearby Rendlesham Forest. Hastings says, "If the incident at the WSA actually occurred, and it appears that it did, then UFOs do indeed pose a defense threat to the UK."

In June 2013 there were 744 sightings reported to MUFON through CMS from the following countries; 638 in the US, 43 in Canada, 17 in the UK, and 7 in Australia, 5 in Argentina. Below are a few of the interesting ones.

Sightings in the United States

Arizona Colored Lights.

CHANDLER -- On June 18, 2013, I was on my balcony looking west when I saw a very bright light, hovering. It was west of the Chandler Mall. It has to be within 10-20 miles from me. It would move extremely slow in different directions, right to left, but mainly stayed hovering or stationary. It would start flickering with colored lights, rapidly, then go back to just a bright white light. The flickering lights kept the same distance and pattern. It has been back to the same location for 5 nights since June 18th. Sometimes its stays 2 1/2 hours or so and other times I’ve seen it, it stays maybe not 2 hours. It will either just disappear or seem to fade out.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Spacecraft

Petaluma -- On July 1, 2013 at 10:35 PM, I was driving northbound on Highway 101 between Novato, Ca and Petaluma, CA when I witnessed two enormous spacecraft on the east side of Highway 101 hovering for 15 minutes. The spacecraft closest to the highway was 300 yards east of the highway and 500 feet high was outlined in white lights with rotating circular colored lights near the front of the aircraft. They were not helicopters or airplanes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Orbs

Lone Tree -- I saw two aircraft creating zigzag pattern in the sky with their contrail/exhaust on July 2, 2013. When I was observing the crossing flight pattern I drew notice to a rod shaped/aligned light sources/orbs floating against the contrail wake from the two jets at 11:14 AM MST. The orbs drifted north along the contrail wake in the brilliant blue sky. At 11:30 AM, the orbs continued in aligned rod shape and drifted west until 12:50MST when the Orbs faded away. Thanks to MUFON CMS

District of Columbia Disc

Washington -- On June 25th 2013 approx. 7:30 pm, I took pictures of my car. While downloading the pix to PC, I noticed a strange object in the sky. After noticing the object I went outside to take more pictures of that area of the western sky. That object did not show, but other objects showed in the photos. Strange objects were not detected in some of the pictures. I also, zoomed in on the object by using pc software and was able to capture a close-up. 

The following day on the 26th, after a thunderstorm, approx. 6:30 pm, I decided to take pictures of the same area of the sky. I could not see any objects with my naked eye, but did see an object showing in the photos. Some of the specs are from raindrops on the window, because I took those pictures through the glass on the porch, but there is a distinct object directly in front of the sun breaking through the clouds. 

Today 6/27/13 at approx. 9:00 am I once an again took pictures of the western sky. At first I thought there was nothing. However, as I looked harder I see approx. 4 objects in the clouds at a distance. 

There seems to be a lot of UFO activity going on in the western skies. One cannot detect this with their naked eye, but my Aiptek mpvr 2k6 camcorder can detect the objects.

Florida Light

keystone HEIGHTS -- I took my dog out about 12:30 pm, on May 28, 2013 and noticed a light coming in over the lake.

I went back in the house and grabbed my phone thinking it might be a cool picture and took photos of it coming in hovering over the lake and then leaving.

I have photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kansas Cylinder

Bonner Springs -- I was grilling last night, it was very HOT out, and I remember thinking to myself, why did I even suggest I do this. I heard a BOOM sound, not like an explosion, almost like a sonic boom but softer Looking around the area, I see nothing. I look up into the sky and I see a jet with obvious contrails behind it, chasing a UFO? It left no trace of contrails and it seemed to really be moving. I grab my cell phone and take some photos, of what best photos I can. Then a second jet appears from the opposite direction, heading for the object head on. The Object seems to slow and move out of the way and the jets fly by and the object takes off again - I remember thinking to myself, what am I seeing here. That has to be a jet. But where are the contrails, and why does it slow down and take off so erratic, Oh my food was burning too. - Unfortunately I was the only one around that seen it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Light

Independence -- Shortly after 10 PM, on June 26, 2013, from my porch, I witnessed a very strange object in the sky about a half mile away and screamed for my wife to bring a camera. She took three photos with her Iphone5. Initially, the object was close enough to see the periphery, which was clearly rectangular with a giant yellow-orange-white flame inside that filled most of the rectangle shape. There was a bright light inside the rectangle with a halo of light around it. I heard what I thought was the sound of propane fuel burning, a low steady dull rumble sound. The rectangle object moved slowly and then faster than a jet airplane ascending rapidly and southeast.

The rectangular borders seemed black and very thin while the flame inside took up most of the object. I thought hot air balloons just moved at the same speed as the wind. On a side note, I have also seen once a few months back a huge black triangle at night with at least seven or eight lights around it moving east with some of the lights blinking. This object moved faster than any other I have ever seen in the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Object

manhattan -- i was on a trip with a group of people I know and bought tickets for a double decker bus tour around the city on June 5^th, 2013. It was around 6 PM, and we were on the bus tour and we were taking pictures. I had taken pictures of the New York Times building.

I never went through the pictures until today June 30th, 2013, when I saw a dark blimp like structure in the sky next to the New York Times building. I never actually saw it in real life but it showed up in my pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

NEW YORK CITY -- It seems some craft were seen "drinking" from the river. I hope they have a stalwart constitution.

Yuck! Perhaps they were members of the environmental crew Dr. Boylan spoke of and they were taking water samples for analysis.

There are at least two different kinds of craft in this video, including the cigar-shaped ship.

North Dakota Box

NEW ENGLAND -- I was taking pictures with a disposable 35mm camera of our house exterior admiring the siding in our small town. I came around to the east side of the house and snapped the picture of my husband filling a bird feeder on July 11, 2006, about 7 PM. It was only after the prints were returned that we noticed a strange large box-kite looking thing in the sky.

Roughly NE from our house two crafts are visible in the photo. I didn’t even notice the second one until I got the photo onto my computer. As best we could tell, the second, more distant object looked very much like the closest object. 

We did not see the objects but I can tell you that there were no kids out in the field behind us flying box kites.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Sightings

Lebanon -- I was at work as a staff member at a group home on June 21, 2013, at 11:45 PM.  I was summoned outside to look at what he thought was an airplane on fire. Upon going outside with five others, I saw the object moving straight at a low altitude. It was pulsing a fiery orange color which gave the illusion of an object on fire, but it had no tail or trace of light in its wake.  I took a photo/video of the object that only shows as a small light in the sky.

When the object was overhead it smelled like a skunk and took a minute for the object to disappear north of us. The skunk smell was gone by the time it passed out of sight. We remained outside long after the sighting, but witnessed nothing further. Thanks to MUFON CMS

East Livdrpoo -- My daughters and I were sitting on my front porch around 9 PM, on June 29, 2013, when we saw a brilliant red , yellow and orange light.

It appears toward the west of us as it got closer to us, it turned a greenish-yellow and shot straight up into the ski.

Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Blinking Light

Mt. Rainer -- On June 14, 2013, about 9:10 PM, I was cooking steaks and had my camera set up with a 1500 MM electronic lens near Mt. Rainer. I was imaging the mountain and I noticed an object looking like it just entered the atmosphere. It was trailing black smoke unlike vapor contrails from an aircraft. Maybe it was a meteor? It suddenly made a 90 degree turn toward the north unlike any meteor. Then another object identical object appeared. I took many images as

the second object intersected the first’s trail. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Orbs

Glenolden -- I was visiting my Mom at her house on June 19, 2013 and we looked up and noticed what looked like a moving star. At first, I thought it was probably a bundle of Mylar balloons. I ran and got my camera and snapped away. I took five photos and a short video clip using my Nikon Coolpix P500. I don’t really think this is anything alien, probably a satellite.

It appears to be turning but has no visible propulsion. Would I be able to take photos of a craft in orbit in broad daylight using 36X zoom? Thanks to MUFON CMS

Cambria -- On June 9, 2013, I was taking pictures while driving through the mountains of Pennsylvania on Route 219 near N. Cambria, PA.

I was on the back of a motorcycle. I did not see the UFO until I downloaded the pictures. The 1st picture is the original photo. The 2nd photo is cropped and zoomed in.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas

GALVESTON -- About 5 minutes after 10 pm, on June30, 2013, I let the dog out but he came right back in and called for me to come look at something in the sky. It was a UFO. Then there was a second one, and then a third one. 

After I saw the first one, I ran back in the house and got my mobile phone and came back outside and took one short video and one photo. The UFOs looked like hot air balloons might look with bright, flame-like, flickering, intensely red lights in the center, but they did not move like hot air balloons would move. The clouds were moving south toward the ocean, but these UFOs were not moving that direction. The first one moved quickly inland and became blurry and larger and dimmer as it went, and moved faster and faster. Before the first one disappeared, the second one appeared and it was very bright and red and flickering like fire in the center. It was up really high, like they all were, and it also moved inland and became smaller and smaller and disappeared. The third one appeared, all bright and red and flickering and distinct, but it soon started moving up higher and moving away upwards and to the South/Southwest. 

The next morning I called the local Air National Guard and Coast Guard but they denied any military exercises last night. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Light

MURGAN --As we left the house of a friend, I noticed an unusual light in the sky that appeared to be hovering over a nearby hill on June 21, 2013. I told my children who took a short while to locate it. I said "There’s a UFO" and they saw it and agreed it was an unidentified flying object. We watched for two minutes as it hovered, but may have been moving closer directly toward us as it did appear to get slightly larger. I took three photos on my iPhone, but it was so far away it was not visible on the screen of the phone. When I downloaded

 the photos to my computer, I could see a single light, but in the sky it looked about two centimeters across I estimate it was a couple of kilometers away when it disappeared behind the cloud cover. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Brilliant White UFO

Scarborough I was at work outside on my morning break June 21, 2013. The sky was relatively clear and noticed a high flying Airliner. The direction of the Airliner came from the northwest and was heading southeast towards Lake Ontario so I took four zoomed in pictures. One photo appears to have captured a brilliant white UFO above the Airliner at 10:03 AM. This unknown white anomaly was not seen with the naked eye yet my camera picked up something strange near the Airliner. It would appear there is a constant activity in our skies even near our conventional aircraft.

PS I have actually witnessed two white UFO’s follow an Airliner back August, 2003 in southern Oshawa. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Eire Triangle

Mullingar – During the month of May and June every night my partner and I have seen the same lights appeared and then more appear and form a triangular shape of three lights on June 2, 2013. More appear out of this triangle and start to move, disappear and reappear in different parts of the sky. They also seem to take turns being in the triangle. One seems to dominate and doesn’t move but gets different levels of brightness. At one point it gets so bright it’s like a huge fireball with flares.

It is not outside our atmosphere. They must be miles away from where we were viewing them because I zoomed in on my camera. Everything looked closer apart from the lights. I also noticed that when I photographed it, it reflected a light on the lens of my camera. The same events happened almost every night and had very similar patterns. These are not lights from plane or Chinese lanterns. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ballincollig -- I was letting my dogs out last Saturday, June 1, 2013, around 11:20 PM, and was going to show my boyfriend the North Star. I started to admire a bright star that stood out from the others when to my surprise I saw it just fade away. I was shocked, when the 'star-like' sphere lit up in another area of the sky before slowly fading away once again. A perfect almost controlled dimming, as if someone was purposely dimming the light. It did this for a few more seconds, fading before moving somewhere else.

I called my boyfriend, but like me he was skeptical, until the star like sphere descended a good bit and it increased to a tenth of its previous size and brightened up to a beautiful blue-white like color.  It moved in a determined direction, with controlled dimming and had no sound descending and ascended, hovered and changed in size. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Germany UFOs

Daaden – I was looking up the sky at night on June 17, /2013, and starting a CE5 contact. It worked. After a few minutes I saw three different Ufos in a five-minute-tact. I do this every night. It's an amazing feeling to have contact with extraterrestrial beings. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Italy Flying Object

Villaggio Mosè, SICILY -- The flying object had a strange movements, it would accelerate, then stop, make a shooting start immediately. The lights were chasing each other and constantly changing color. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Merseyside, England Top-secret Documents Reveal UFO Sightings

A Merseyside family begged the Government for help, claiming they were being terrorized by aliens. Their sightings of lights above their home are among the UFO files revealed this week. The Ministry of Defence released thousands of reports of extra-terrestrial objects made to its UFO desk. Among the previously top-secret documents was the tale of a Kirkby family desperate for help after a string of UFO sightings near their home. Turning to the Government for help, the family revealed: “We saw three bright objects flying in the same direction near our home. “They hovered for around five minutes before ascending straight up into the sky. Bright orange and strangely shaped, changing colours as we zoomed in, green, yellow, white, orange etc.”

The apparent visit occurred three times on October 26, 2009, leaving the family desperate for help. They pleaded: “Can you please tell us what these things are as my children are terrified that they are aliens; my son has seen these on two other occasions and is very worried. I have video footage if you require it.” The MoD responded to the request by saying they only investigate sightings “where there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external source, and to date no UFO report has revealed such evidence.” The reports released by the MoD yesterday were the last batch of sightings sent to its UFO Desk before it closed in 2009, and cover the period from late 2007 to the department’s closure. It was closed after the MoD decided “investigations into UFO sightings, even from more reliable sources, serve no useful purpose and merely divert air defence specialists from their primary tasks.”

But Merseyside UFO expert Pat Regan argued the UFO Desk’s closure was a decision that left British airspace vulnerable to attack and witnesses forced to rely on the media and other experts to investigate their fears. He said: “I think it leaves us wide open. I have always said 95% of sightings can be passed off with mundane explanations – fair enough. “But there’s possibly 5% that remain unexplained. It is something going through our sovereign airspace and the MoD are washing their hands of it.” Mr. Regan, from Southport, added: “A few years back Liverpool was a bit of a hotspot, it was buzzing. We noticed that large bodies of water such as the Mersey and Ribble Estuary always seem to attract UFO interest for whatever reason. There are all sorts of outlandish theories – some they are fuelling up, other people are saying they are testing drones.” The Kirkby sighting was one of many in Merseyside that year. Back in May 2009 dozens of people reported lights moving across the Merseyside sky, with sightings from Mossley Hill to Southport. In 2008 reports of an alien spacecraft over Wallasey and UFOs over Liverpool were included in Government UFO files.  NOTE: the above image is a rendering. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

UFO-ONDERZOEK, een kwestie van geloven of niet…

Het raadselachtig UFO-verschijnsel is opmerkelijk, eigenaardig en volhardend, blijkbaar het meest unieke evenement in de moderne geschiedenis van de mensheid. Al meer dan 50 jaar rapporteren tienduizenden burgers over gans de aarde gespreid vreemde, onverklaarbare fenomenen in het luchtruim of op de grond... Deze rapporten gaan van eenvoudige, abnormale lichtverschijnselen tot onverklaarbare objecten in de lucht of op de grond. Misschien zag je zelf al eens iets vreemds... Bijkomende vreemde aanverwante verschijnselen, zoals de “cattle mutilations” en de graancirkels, stellen ons nog voor meer vragen. Veroorzaken de Ufo’s deze vreemde, maar bizarre tekenen? Een angstwekkender, maar toch relatief nieuw element  in de Ufologie gaat over de ontvoeringen door aliëns. Een aantal personen verklaren dat UFO’s en hun inzittenden hen ontvoerden, meenamen tot in het ruimtetuig. Hier ondergingen ze meestal pijnlijke, medische onderzoeken; worden bloed, huid- of spermastalen genomen en soms planten de aliëns een implantaat in bij de ontvoerde...

Bizarre, ongeloofwaardige verhalen circuleren zo in het UFO-milieu. Bepaalde sceptici verwerpen het UFO-probleem gewoon zonder onderzoek. Ze geloven niet (meer) in de gerapporteerde UFO-meldingen. Volgens hen komen deze verhalen toch maar van gekken, aandachtzoekers, mediageile of fantasierijke personen of zijn het toch maar gewoon vervalsingen of trucages. Uit ons onderzoek blijkt dat dit bij de meeste UFO-meldingen niet het geval is. Inderdaad, het zijn meestal eerlijke, intelligente en wel opgevoede burgers, waaronder rechters, wetenschappers, politiemensen, militairen en zelfs ervaren piloten met hun bemanning, die UFO-waarnemingen rapporteren. Deze burgers als gek, idioot of belachelijk verklaren is laag bij de grond en getuigt van weinig wetenschappelijk inzicht. Zelfs al ben je scepticus, toch mag je niet verrast zijn te leren dat zelfs een aantal invloedrijke wetenschapsmensen met belangrijke diploma’s, naam en papieren, er stellig van overtuigd zijn dat UFO’s buitenaards zijn. Volgens hen zijn UFO’s het resultaat van buitenaardse ruimtetuigen, die onze planeet bezoeken. Indien deze buitenaardse hypothese inderdaad correct blijkt, dan is het UFO-verschijnsel de belangrijkste, wetenschappelijke gebeurtenis in het bestaan van het mensdom. En ... het gebeurt allemaal voor onze neus!

Vanzelfsprekend aanvaardt de huidige, georganiseerde wetenschappelijke gemeenschap en het overgrote deel  van  zijn wetenschappers deze stelling niet.  Waarom?  De meeste wetenschappers lopen gewoon mee met het ideeëngoed van de grote massa. De vooruitgang van de wetenschap is niet het resultaat van deze wetenschappers. Het is het werk van enkelingen, die het aandurven de bestaande wetenschappelijke stellingen en axioma’s in vraag te stellen en grenzen te verleggen... Is het mogelijk dat in een tijdperk, waarin de wetenschappers ruimteschepen naar Mars zenden in hun onderzoek naar buitenaardse levensvormen; dat ze met reusachtige radiotelescopen het heelal afspeuren naar radiosignalen van verre beschavingen, dat het bewijs van het bestaan van buitenaards, intelligent leven doodgewoon op aarde in grote hoeveelheid kan gevonden worden?

De believers, die geloven dat sommige UFO-rapporten buitenaardse bezoekers vertegenwoordigen, wachten vol ongeduld op die ene waarneming die alle twijfels wegneemt en het ultieme bewijs levert... De non-believers en sceptici proberen op allerlei wijzen de Ufologie te kelderen, soms verklaren ze gewoon één specifieke UFO-waarneming en stellen dan al de andere meldingen in vraag en eveneens als verklaarbaar... Simplistische denkpiste, denk je ook niet? In plaats van op een positieve manier SAMEN op onderzoek te gaan, maken ze elkaar het leven zuur door een afbraakpolitiek te volgen.  Maar tot het vinden van dat ene, onweerlegbaar bewijs voor UFO’s (buitenaardse theorie), vind ik dat wij objectieve en neutrale onderzoekers dienen te blijven, met beide voeten op de grond. De welles – nietes polemiek van wie het bewijs dient te leveren, is prietpraat.  Degenen die na 50 jaar nog steeds niet aannemen dat UFO’s bestaan, zijn ongelovige thomassen...  Wel is het een feit dat ondanks de vele duizenden UFO-meldingen, slechts een fractie voldoet aan de verklaring van UFO, onbekend vliegen objekt... Meer dan 90 % van alle meldingen kunnen wij verklaren als optische illusies, hallucinaties, vreemde natuurverschijnselen, testvluchten van geheime toestellen en zelfs trucages en vervalsingen .... 

Dus bij het onderzoek van een UFO-waarneming dienen wij vooral neutraal, objectief en zelfs sceptisch te blijven. Onze gepaste achterdocht leidt ons naar het zoeken van een “aardse oplossing” voor de melding. Slechts als alle mogelijke wetenschappelijke en aardse denkpistes uitgeput zijn, kunnen, mogen, durven wij van een UFO spreken. Bij de minste twijfel over een mogelijke oplossing, dienen wij deze laatste als verklaring te aanvaarden, tot het tegendeel bewezen is.  Even verduidelijken wat ik onder de term UFO versta. Voor mij is een UFO een onbekend, onverklaarbaar (na alle mogelijke oplossingen te checken) licht of object in de lucht of op de grond, die wij met onze huidige kennis niet kunnen verklaren. Een UFO is voor mij dus geen buitenaardse,” vliegende schotel met inzittenden”! Als je deze laatste stelling of verklaring van de term UFO zelf aanneemt, kan je geen objectief, neutraal onderzoek doen of dien je uitermate voorzichtig te werk te gaan bij je UFO-onderzoek...  Daarom vind ik dat wij tijdens ons onderzoek een aantal principes dienen na te leven of er ten minste rekening mee te houden. Deze stellingen kan je uitgebreid terugvinden in het boek van Philip J. Klass “UFO’s EXPLAINED”... Ondanks de jaren kwam er geen sleet op deze principes. Het kan geen kwaad om deze principes van de meester-scepticus in ons achterhoofd te houden...

PRINCIPE 1:       Normale eerlijke en intelligente personen, die plots blootgesteld worden aan een korte, onverwachte gebeurtenis, vooral één die een ongewoon object betreft, zullen meestal onjuist en onvolledig zijn in het nauwkeurig beschrijven van wat ze echt zagen. De reden is dat wat een persoon gelooft dat hij zag, sterk beïnvloed wordt door de vroeger reeds ervaren en opgeslagen informatie, misschien onbewust in de hersenen...

PRINCIPE 2:       Ondanks de strikte beperkingen van de menselijk waarneming, wanneer ze blootgesteld wordt aan korte, onverwachte en ongewone gebeurtenissen, zullen sommige details, gerapporteerd door de waarnemer bijzonder correct en juist zijn. Het grote probleem voor de UFO-onderzoeker is uit te zoeken welke details correct werden weergegeven en welke onjuist en onvolledig zijn.   Dit terugvinden of achterhalen van de correcte en alle details van een melding lijkt ons onmogelijk tot de ware identiteit van de UFO achterhaalt wordt, wat niet altijd het geval is... het gevaar schuilt er eveneens in dat de waarnemer een aantal details “onbewust” aanvult om zijn waarneming geloofwaardiger te maken. Niemand wordt graag belachelijk gemaakt, vandaar dit onbewuste proces...

PRINCIPE 3:       Als een persoon, die een ongewoon en vreemd object waarneemt, besluit dat hij waarschijnlijk een ruimteschip van een andere planeet zag, kan hij echt aannemen dat het object reageert op zijn a   aanwezigheid of acties ondernam, terwijl in realiteit er absoluut geen oorzaak-gevolg effect of interactie plaatsvindt...

PRINCIPE 4:       Nieuws media, die een grote aandacht besteden bij het eerst ontvangen van een UFO-melding, besteden weinig of geen aandacht, tijd of plaats om een aanvaardbare verklaring voor de waarneming te geven, wanneer al feiten ontdekt en verklaard zijn... Inderdaad voor de eerste melding durven ze de frontpagina te gebruiken, terwijl de verklaring meestal een gering, klein artikeltje inhoudt, ergens op een binnen blad.

PRINCIPE 5:       Geen enkele menselijke waarnemer, inbegrepen ervaren vliegtuigbemanningen, kunnen correct  de stand / de hoogte of de grootte van een ongewoon object  in de lucht schatten, tenzij het zeer sterk overeenkomt met een gekend voorwerp, waarvan ze de grootte of hoogte wel kennen en er dus mee kunnen vergelijken...

PRINCIPE 6:       Eens dat de nieuwsmedia uitgebreid vermelden dat ze geloven dat er Ufo’s in de buurt zijn, zijn er een aantal natuurlijke en door mensen gemaakte tuigen, vooral al ze bij nacht gezien worden, die ongewone karakteristieken vertonen in het brein van de hoopvolle waarnemers. Hun UFO rapporten voegen zich op hun beurt tot de opgewonden massa, waardoor nog meer waarnemers aangemoedigd worden om naar UFO’s te speuren. Deze situatie voedt zich net zolang tot dat de media hun belangstelling verliezen voor het onderwerp, waarna de “UFO-flap” snel alle stoom aflaat en stilvalt...

PRINCIPE 7:       In de poging vast te stellen of een UFO een vervalsing (hoax) is, dient de onderzoeker zich te baseren op het fysisch bewijs, of het gebrek eraan, wanneer het in een specifiek geval zou moeten bestaan. Hij mag niet enkel en alleen afhangen van karakterbevestingen van de belangrijkste betrokkenen of waarnemers. Mensen, die gewoon eerlijk zijn/lijken en zich aan de wet houden, kunnen evenzeer betrokken worden bij een vervalsing.

PRINCIPE 8:       Het onvermogen van zelfs ervaren onderzoekers om volledig en positief een UFO-melding te verklaren bij gebrek aan voldoende gegevens, zelfs na een harde en lange inspanning, impliceert niet echt het bewijs van de theorie dat ruimtetuigen van een andere planeet onze aarde bezoeken. Vaak brengt de toekomst raad en worden bepaalde meldingen achteraf toch op een “aardse” manier verklaard.

PRINCIPE 9 :      Wanneer een lichtverschijnsel s’nachts in de lucht waargenomen wordt en de waarnemer gelooft dat hij een UFO ziet en hij meldt dit aan een radaroperator met de vraag  om op zijn scherm te zoeken naar een onbekend doel, zal er meestal onveranderlijk  “een onbekend doel” gevonden worden op het scherm. Tegengesteld, wanneer een ongewoon punt op het radarscherm s’nachts waargenomen wordt, waarvan de operator aanneemt of verdenkt dat het een UFO is, en een waarnemer wordt gevraagd om te zoeken naar een licht aan de nachtelijke hemel, zal er onveranderlijk een visuele waarneming gebeuren... In de opgewondenheid van het ogenblik, lijkt het niet belangrijk dat het radarpunt zich in het westen bevindt, terwijl de visuele waarneming aan de oostelijke, noordelijke of zuidelijke hemel zichtbaar is...”de twee waarnemingen” lijken elkaar gewoon te bevestigen. Zelfs wanneer er tussen de 2 waarnemingen (radar / waarnemer) minuten of uren liggen, gaat men er vanuit dat de waarneming door twee onafhankelijke bronnen bevestigd werden..

PRINCIPE 10:     Veel UFO-meldingen lijken raadselachtig en onverklaarbaar, gewoon omdat de onderzoekers faalden om een voldoende inspanning te leveren om de melding te verklaren, ofwel door gebrek aan tijd, ofwel door gebrek aan kennis, ofwel door een specifiek geloof... Het is niet verrassend dat een aantal onderzoekers personen zijn die ervan overtuigd zijn dat UFO’s buitenaardse bezoekers zijn, bewust of onbewust. Hoe hoger het aantal onverklaarbare UFO-meldingen, hoe sterker de buitenaardse theorie wordt...

Ondanks het feit dat Philip Klass deze principes een 30 jaar terug aanhaalde, vind ik ze nog steeds brandend actueel. Om ons onderzoek een positieve en onweerlegbare basis te geven, zijn deze “raadgevingen” van levensbelang. Zijn doel was om alle UFO’s als verklaarbaar en aards te maken. Willen wij één of andere theorie bewijzen, zoals de buitenaardse of de meerdere dimensietheorie, dan dienen onze rapporten voldoende gestructureerd te zijn en de bewijzen onweerlegbaar... Geen eenvoudige zaak noch voor de believers, noch voor de non-believers of sceptici om hun stellingen hard te maken. Het belangrijkste is wel dat wij vaak door de welles-niets polemiek ons hoofddoel of bestaansreden als onderzoeker uit het oog verliezen, namelijk het zoeken naar de waarheid achter het UFO-fenomeen...

Zijn deze principes het evangelie? Verre van maar je kan altijd van een tegenstander / scepticus leren. Schakel zijn opmerkingen uit en je maakt je studie een stuk geloofwaardiger en krachtiger. Vanzelfsprekend heb ik Klass niet letterlijk verwoord, maar heb ik mijn persoonlijke opinie aan zijn principes gevoegd. Over het ontvoeringssyndroom wordt in deze principes niet gepraat, maar ook daar had zijn persoonlijke visie over. Jawel, negatief, maar van een scepticus kan je niet meer verwachten. Desalniettemin dien je wel rekening te houden met de visie en opmerkingen van de meester-scepticus in het zoeken naar de waarheid....

An Army officer has reportedly captured a UFO (unidentified flying object) on his cell phone at Kannur, Kerala.

Divya Sebastian, wife of Major Sebastian Zachariah, an Army officer now on an international assignment, said that her husband has indeed captured the image while on an outing on a beach in Kannur.

“My husband had a new mobile (HTC-1) and he was checking the features by clicking photos randomly. It was around 4.30-5 pm and suddenly he screamed saying that he got a UFO image. We couldn’t believe it first and thought he was playing a prank,” Divya who hails from Kannur told Express over phone.

She said Major Sebastian did not see the UFO with his naked eye. “We checked every frame carefully and only one had a flying saucer on it. We looked in the sky to spot something unusual. We came back home and did a thorough search on the internet and even scanned the NASA website,” said Divya.

Out of curiosity and to rule out any technical snag, the customer service centre of the mobile phone firm was contacted to know if an already-stored image got merged with the photo.

“We were told that no UFO images were stored on the mobile library and it is then we were forced to believe that we might have captured something special. We have seen UFOs in movies, but well this one has literally floored us,” she said.Divya said that out of absolute curiosity and surprise they chose to hand over the photo to the media.“We do not want to get into any publicity nor want to debate over whether UFOs exist or not. We are just sharing what we saw. My husband is a serving officer and he can’t interact with the media, either,” she added.

When the news of the UFO was brought to the notice of Professor Jayant Murthy, of Indian Institute of Astrophysics in Bangalore, he out-rightly rejected such claims.

“Due to reflections of some optics there could have been illusions. People sometimes experience camera illusions and they are not UFOs. These are nothing real,” he said.

Les nouvelles du jour des Rencontres Ufologiques

Astronomes et astrophysiciens à Montpellier : bientôt une planète habitée !

Par YOHAN DOUCET

300 astronomes et astrophysiciens étaient cette semaine à Montpellier pour évoquer un domaine que les satellites et les télescopes ont révolutionné.

Était-ce parce que plusieurs siècles d’histoire les contemplaient ? Toujours est-il que le gotha de l’astrophysique s’est laissé aller à la confidence, il y a quelques jours, dans la salle du Conseil de la faculté de médecine de Montpellier. Là où, fortuitement, trône le portrait d’un confident célèbre, François Gigot de Lapeyronie.

« On a trouvé beaucoup de planètes habitables. On va bientôt trouver une planète habitée. »

Le propos de Xavier Delfosse, astronome à Grenoble, maintes fois entendu depuis que la science est aussi fiction, aurait pu passer inaperçu. Mais le mot “bientôt” change tout.

A l’heure où l’astrophysique et l’astronomie font leur révolution, grâce à des outils - satellites, télescopes - toujours plus performants, ce qui n’était hier qu’un doux rêve flirte aujourd’hui avec la réalité.

« Deux mille candidates... » Aurélien Crida, astrophysicien

Pour Aurélien Crida, enseignant-chercheur à l’Université de Nice, le passage « à l’échelle industrielle » des observations va accélérer les découvertes majeures : « Il y a dix ans, on ne connaissait qu’une vingtaine d’étoiles autour desquelles pouvaient tourner en orbite des exoplanètes (1).

Aujourd’hui, nous avons plus de deux milles candidates... Au rythme où vont les techniques, ce n’est plus seulement des planètes telluriques habitables que nous allons découvrir mais des planètes habitées. Je pense que dans les dix prochaines années, on dénombrera plusieurs planètes au sol solide et à la bonne distance de son étoile pour accueillir la vie. Et d’ici vingt ans, on pourra analyser leur atmosphère, détecter l’ozone... » La vie, en somme.

Une luciole sur un phare

Évidemment, ces avancées ne s’observent pas à l’œil nu ou avec une simple lunette astronomique. Le satellite Kepler, lancé en mars 2009 par la Nasa, scrute la galaxie avec une précision qui étonne même les chercheurs : « C’est comme si je voyais, de Montpellier, une luciole posée sur un phare à New York. »

Ça, c’est pour l’observation directe. Mais les scientifiques utilisent aussi des spectrographes si « fins » qu’ils parviennent, indirectement, à mesurer le mouvement de planètes, même s’il est beaucoup faible que le mouvement de son étoile : « Aujourd’hui, on trouve des planètes de moins en moins massives, dont la vitesse n’excède pas 10 cm/seconde (moins d’1 km/h). »

La terre n’est donc plus une exception.

Les « conditions initiales » de la vie, au moins unicellulaire, se sont répandues dans notre galaxie. Reste à découvrir une forme complexe. Ce n’est plus qu’une question de temps.

(1) Une exoplanète est une planète en orbite autour d’une autre étoile que notre soleil.

NOUVEAU SITE DU MUFON FRANCE EST EN LIGNE

Le nouveau site du Mufon France est en ligne. Il est aujourd’hui placé sous la direction de Jacques Patenet, directeur du Mufon France, ancien responsable du Geipan et il a totalement été refondu.

Le site du Mufon France obéit à une orientation scientifique, il se concentre sur la publication des
enquêtes, de documents méthodologiques et de  la publication d’informations importantes du monde ufologique.  Le Mufon organise un réseau d’enquêteurs, lance et suit divers projets à l’étude sur le phénomène.   Il est donc complémentaire au site des Rencontres Ufologiques, qui lui à une orientation  grand public avec une forte implication dans le monde ufologique Français, les associations et structures diverses qui œuvrent dans ce domaine. Il est dédié uniquement à l’information, ne fait pas de recherche ou d’études (domaine du Mufon France).

Le site est nouveau, il va donc s’enrichir au fil des mois de nouvelles rubriques, de documents sérieux et analysés permettant de travailler dans notre domaine. Si vous avez des idées, si vous envisagez de lancer individuellement une étude particulière sur le phénomène ou si vous avez des connaissances pointues dans les domaines pouvant intéresser l’analyse du phénomène ovni, n’hésitez pas à contacter  le Mufon France. Il s’appuie déjà sur un réseau de chercheurs ou de personnes compétentes dans le domaine. Certains poursuivent des études précises, il vous mettra en rapport avec ces chercheurs si vos projets sont susceptibles de les intéresser ou avec votre concours de les compléter.

Connectez-vous au nouveau site du Mufon France et n’hésitez pas à faire part de vos remarques.

LE MUFON FRANCE GRANDIT

Le Mufon France étend sa couverture nationale de jour en jour. Grâce aux actions dynamiques de l’organisation, ses directions régionales, le Mufon France étend aujourd’hui  sa couverture à deux nouvelles régions en France : Le Centre France et la Picardie.

Nous leur souhaitons la bienvenue parmi nous.

La direction régionale du Mufon France pour la région Centre a été confiée à Pascal Issoulet, un enquêteur chevronné qui d’autre part est aussi un ancien dans le domaine ufologique avec plusieurs décennies d’ancienneté. Il  a commencé à s’intéresser aux Phénomènes Aérospatiaux Non Identifiés (PAN)  en 1978 et il a  animé régionalement diverses associations sur ce thème.  Membres de la plupart des associations nationales au fil des décennies, il a acquis par un travail continu d’information du public et d’enquêtes sur le terrain auprès des témoins, des compétences non négligeables. Sa documentation réunie en plus de 30 années est une source unique d’information.

La direction Régionale du Mufon France pour la région Picardie a été quant à elle confiée à Patrice Gouez, qui organise aussi  les Rencontres Ufologiques d’OVNI Beauvais.  41 ans, il a des compétences dans le domaine informatique qui est son travail quotidien et  il commence son «  apprentissage » dans le domaine des PAN actuellement, avec assiduité, souhaitant maitriser rapidement les bases du travail d’enquête  sur le terrain et de la communication vis-à-vis du  grand public. Il s’est dernièrement illustré par la publication dans un média de la région de Beauvais, d’une interview très consistante et sérieuse, opération qu’il a menée de concert avec  un journaliste qui a bien compris le soucis de présenter la réelle problématique de ce phénomène et non pas de réaliser un article basé uniquement sur le sensationnel. 

Le Mufon France via son site grand public Les Rencontres Ufologiques, enregistre presque journellement la participation active de nouveaux auteurs et  dans le cadre de la Fédération Francophone d’Ufologie ( FFU) l’affiliation de nouveaux organismes ou associations qui œuvres pour une meilleure connaissance du phénomène ovni, un travail d’enquête ou de communication.

La «  machine » Mufon France est donc lancée, déjà près d’une centaine de participants dans de nombreux domaines. Vous qui avez des idées dans le domaine des PAN, vous qui souhaitez entreprendre des actions les plus diverses soit-elles ou vous  qui managez déjà une structure s’intéressant au dossier ovni, vous avez votre place au sein de l’organisation Mufon France et nous vous invitons à la rejoindre. L’objectif :    fédérer un maximum d’organismes et de chercheurs s’intéressant à ce sujet (qui gardent une entière indépendance) dans l’objectif d’organiser de futurs évènements nationaux, des travaux d’études ou de recherches communs etc….

N’hésitez donc pas à contacter le Mufon France, de poser toutes les questions qui vous viennent à l’esprit et ainsi que nous en avons l’objectif, de faire partie, en toute liberté et indépendance, d’une structure fédérative nationale ou Francophone reconnue.

Déjà, bien que ce ne soit peu connu, diverses actions ont déjà permi, grâce au Mufon France, de faire participer à des congrès internationaux aux usa, des acteurs Français, tels François Louange, Xavier Passot et de représenter ainsi notre nation en dehors de nos frontières.

LE DANGER DES LANTERNES THAÏLANDAISES

Gilles Durand, dans les mails que je reçois quotidiennement, me  fait part d’un article relatif à un incendie provoqué par les lanternes Thaïlandaises.

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-23123549

J’ai eu l’occasion d’être confronté à un enquêteur qui avait relevé un cas, un ovni signalé dans la presse, affaire qui s’était soldée par l’identification de lanternes Thaïlandaises. Les auteurs du lancement de ces lanternes ont été identifiés. Les points de chute également, situés non loin de «  meules » de paille, le fruit du travail de nombreux mois d’un exploitant agricole du secteur.

Ces lanternes, contenant en général des bougies aptes à communiquer le « feu », sont tombées à quelques mètres de ces meules de paille, se consumant alors sur place sans causer de soucis. Mais il en aurait été autrement si ces lanternes étaient tombées sur une meule de paille : Imaginez la perte financière pour l’agriculteur, qui d’autre part n’aurait jamais pu deviner qui était l’auteur de l'incendie, ni les causes de cet incendie. À la limite, on aurait même accusé les «  rodeurs » patentés  du secteur !

Ces lanternes Thaïlandaises, qui nous causent tant de problèmes au niveau ufologiques,  sont dangereuses et  il est anormal que la vente  de ces produits soit libre et qu’elle s’effectue dans les conditions actuelles.  Comme à l’habitude, on attend une catastrophe pour interdire ce type de distraction qui ne devrait pouvoir se faire que dans des conditions draconiennes de sécurité, sans faire porter à autrui un risque important quant à un éventuel préjudice.
