A chat with Nick Pope, XCOM’s real-life UFO investigator (interview)

Sebastian Haley/GamesBeat

Nick Pope was an UFO investigator for the British for 21 years. He now serves as a consultant for all kinds of alien-related entertainment projects, including the new The Bureau: XCOM Declassified game.

July 17, 2013 10:00 AM

Depending on your disposition to the idea of a real-life X-Files program, the name Nick Pope may have one of a variety of effects on you. Pope has long been a staple of the ufology scene thanks to his role as a UFO investigator during the 21 years he worked for the the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense. Naturally, he’s now involved in the new XCOM game.

GamesBeat met with Pope at a private The Bureau: XCOM Declassified event held by developer 2K Marin and publisher 2K Games. You can read our thoughts on the game itself, along with developer interviews, in our hands-on preview.

GamesBeat: Can you start off with the general overview of your responsibilities as a UFO investigator?

Nick Pope: I had to basically investigate UFO sightings and see if they were any potential threat or, more generally, if they were of any defense interest. We didn’t take a view on what they might or might not be. We just said, “Look, people have seen things.” Particularly, as it’s often alleged, these were solid-structured things in our airspace. That made it a defense issue. That made it a national security issue.

But like I say, we didn’t take a view on whether we were dealing with aliens or whether we were dealing, as was the original thinking, with maybe the next generation of Soviet spy planes or drones, something like that. That was basically the job. Through that, anything else weird or wonderful that there wasn’t a place for in government kind of came our way by default, particularly if it was perceived that there was a link with UFOs. Alien abductions, crop circles. We found ourselves getting all the weird stuff, like people who had seen ghosts at military bases. That’s why it has been called the real-life X-Files.

GamesBeat: What do you do now?

Pope: Basically, I work as a freelance writer and broadcaster. I’ve written a couple of sci-fi books. I do a lot of TV work on shows like Ancient Aliens. I’ve worked with some of the Hollywood film companies on some of the PR for movie launches, if there’s an alien theme. I guess people come to me and say, “Well, we’re doing this as fiction, but there’s very often an interesting tie-in. Is any of this actually true?”

The alien threat from The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.

GamesBeat: Some of your findings over the past couple of decades have been declassified recently, is that correct?

Pope: Yeah, almost literally just two weeks ago, three weeks ago. The British government finished what had been a five-year program to declassify and release the entire archive. That was round about 52,000 pages of documents. A lot of it was just fire lanterns and weather balloons and things like that. But there were some more interesting cases in there too.

GamesBeat: Can you share some of the highlights?

Pope: Sure. The most famous case in there – and I think it’s a better case than Roswell – is something called the Rendelsham Forest incident.

This was December 1980. A UFO was actually seen to land in a forest between two military bases. This was in the U.K., but they were American Air Force bases. This small triangular craft of some sort came down in a small clearing, and a patrol of security police, who had originally thought a plane had crashed, went out and encountered this weird thing. They saw strange symbols on the side of it that looked a bit like Egyptian hieroglyphs. Then it rose up above the ground very slowly, cleared the treetops, and shot away to the horizon in an instant. Two days later it came back. It didn’t land that time, but it was flying around in the area.

The witnesses included the deputy base commander. They went back to the clearing where this thing had landed on the first night and they found indentations, showing that something heavy had been there. They took a Geiger counter out there and found that the radiation levels seemed to be significantly higher than background. It’s a phenomenal story. Some of the guys now have health issues. There’s talk of a federal lawsuit.

There’s a whole bunch of former congresspeople that just wrote, at the beginning of May, a letter to the secretary of the Veteran’s Affairs department and to the president saying, “The two guys who got close to this can’t get their medical records out of the system. Please help them.” It’s a really good case, because it’s not just anecdotal. Like you said in your question, there is a declassified and released audit trail of government documents to show that this happened.

GamesBeat: It’s interesting that you worked on not only your own fiction but also Hollywood and now games. Do you feel like the surplus of fiction surrounding this topic colors people’s opinion as to whether something like this could ever be real?

Pope: There’s a whole bunch of conspiracy theories about this. Science fiction and the whole idea of aliens, in movies and computer games, is so embedded now in the public consciousness that it’s difficult to separate the fact and the fiction. Some people think that Hollywood movies and computer games are one of the ways in which governments slowly acclimatize people to this. There used to be this old theory that you couldn’t say this was real, because there would be panic in the streets.

But what if you slipped it out generally, slowly, over the years, in all these movies, so that people were so used to the idea? I think the opinion polls now show that round about 50 percent of people think there’s visitation by aliens. A much higher percentage believes that there’s life out there in the universe, but around 50 percent, I think, think they’re coming here. A sizable number of those people think that governments know more about it than they’re letting on. I don’t know. It’s odd, because if that was the case, it’s a slightly mixed message. You get good aliens like E.T. and then you get the whole Independence Day, War of the Worlds, XCOM thing, which is more about full-on violence and invasion.

I suppose it’s a point about films more generally, that it’s more likely that movies and computer games will show aliens hostile, because it gives you that whole dynamic of a struggle to deal with. With a movie like E.T., it’s just getting home, and that’s it.

GamesBeat: And feed him Reese’s Pieces. So what has been your contribution to the XCOM project?

Pope: It’s basically just helping, maybe, to start a conversation with the people that play the game, to ask the sort of questions that we’re getting to. “Could any of this be based in reality?” “Did something like Roswell, for example, really happen?” And if it did, questions like, “Would the government keep it secret?” and “Could you keep a thing like this a secret?” Which I think are two different questions. I think, on the first answer, it’s probably, “Yes, you would keep it secret.”

I think technology acquisition gets to the heart of it. Hopefully this is the sort of thing that I can contribute to a conversation about this. The country – or corporation, maybe – that first gets its hands on alien technology, if such a thing exists, is going to have such a huge advantage that the stakes are high enough to justify secrecy. You’d want it for yourself. So, going back in time, if Roswell really happened, you could understand that some overenthusiastic base PR person said, “Oh, we’ve got one of these flying disks,” and then high command stepped in and said, “No, it’s a weather balloon” and took it away to hangar and worked on that.

You wouldn’t want to share that with the Soviets, particularly with the Cold War just starting.

What’s your alien apocalypse survival plan?

GamesBeat: What do you think of the game so far?

Pope: Oh, I love it. I’m not just saying that. I mean—I guess I was brought up, maybe, in an era where games were just a few pixels moving clumsily across the screen. I can’t even remember what they were called. What was that one where you just bounced it around?

GamesBeat: Pong?

Pope: Pong! I’m probably showing my age there. But you look at something like The Bureau, and it’s just, “My God.” The other thing is, I love that whole style of the ’60s, whether it’s the cars or the shops, the signs. It’s got a nice feel to it as well. Like I say, I don’t play these games, so I can’t, I’m afraid, give any sort of technical-insight clever answer to that. But I’ve obviously sat in on some meetings; I’ve looked at it, and I’ve thought, “Wow, that’s impressive.”

GamesBeat: In all your decades of work that you’ve done and your hypothesizing and discussion and so on, if you turned on the news and saw that aliens were arriving – lights in the sky and that kind of stuff – would you be excited, or would you be worried?

Pope: Both. I’d see it as almost a validation or a culmination of a quest that I guess I’ve been on. But also—I guess, self-evidently, if aliens get here, given that we can only just about slowly send a few space probes out to the edge of our solar system, if somebody has cracked viable interstellar travel, they’ve got technology orders of magnitude above and beyond anything we’ve got. So I couldn’t help but be worried.

I think Stephen Hawking said this – it would be like the European explorers meeting the Native Americans, only we’re the Native Americans. We’d have to hope that alien visitors are explorers, ambassadors, adventurers, and not the sort of cynical exploiters that, sadly, in human history we’ve tended to be when we encounter new territories. So we’re going to have to hope that they’re friendly and altruistic, because if they’re not, we’re in trouble.

GamesBeat: We can hope that it doesn’t come back on us, all the terrible things that we’ve done to other civilizations.

Pope: Yes. It would be a kind of cosmic karma, I suppose, if it did. Our only hope would be that great staple of sci-fi, to use the aliens’ own technology against them.

GamesBeat: Or water and air, in the case of Signs and War of the Worlds.

Pope: [Laughs] Yeah, or Independence Day: Just plug your laptop in and take down the entire alien defense system.

GamesBeat: I think the secret is just to have Randy Quaid on speed dial and to keep his crop-duster fueled.

US Navy plan to prepare for extraterrestrials among us secretly developed in 1998

Written by Dr Michael Salla on July 10, 2013. Posted in exopolitics research

In honor of US Independence Day, Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), released a document supporting her claims that the US Navy initiated a plan in 1998 to adjust its operations for a future where extraterrestrials exist and live among us. She claims the plan was commissioned by the Undersecretary of the US Navy and was undertaken by the Arlington Institute, an NGO located near the Pentagon with many military clients, where Fitts served on the Board of Directors. She was asked to assist with the plan and claims she was given an opportunity to meet a live alien, but declined. When I contacted the Arlington Institute in 2008, two members of the Board of Directors repudiated Fitts claims. The document released on her website is the official minutes of a Board of Directors meeting held at the Arlington Institute in 2000. The document confirms key elements in her version of events, especially that Arlington Institute was actively discussing plans for how to best prepare the general public for disclosing the existence of, and contact with, extraterrestrial life.

Catherine Fitts claims that in 1998 the Undersecretary of the U.S. Navy had commissioned a “high level strategic plan” to prepare the American public for an official announcement that extraterrestrials exist and live among us. She wrote:

In 1998, I was approached by John Peterson, head of the Arlington Institute, a small high quality military think tank in Washington, DC. I had gotten to know John through Global Business Network and had been impressed by his intelligence, effectiveness and compassion. John asked me to help him with a high level strategic plan Arlington was planning to undertake for the Undersecretary of the Navy. At the time I was the target of an intense smear campaign that would lead the normal person to assume that I would be in jail shortly or worse. John explained that the Navy understood that it was all politics —- they did not care. I met with a group of high level people in the military in the process — including the Undersecretary. According to John, the purpose of the plan — discussed in front of several military or retired military officers and former government officials— was to help the Navy adjust their operations for a world in which it was commonly known that aliens exist and live among us. When John explained this purpose to me, I explained that I did not know that aliens existed and lived among us. John asked me if I would like to meet some aliens. For the only time in my life, I declined an opportunity to learn about something important.

In March 2008 I was planning to write an article about Ms Fitts claims, and began my investigation by first contacting her to elaborate or clarify her earlier recollection. Fitts said she had nothing to add to what had already been released to the public. I then contacted John Petersen, President of the Arlington Institute. He flatly denied Ms Fitts claims and offered to put me in communication with other members of the Board of Directors to get independent confirmation. In subsequent email communications with Joe Firmage, another Board member, he also denied Ms Fitts version of events, and did not recall any meetings where she was also present where the issue of extraterrestrial life was discussed. I was unsuccessful in reaching Jerry MacArthur Hultin, who served as Undersecretary of the Navy during the period mentioned by Fitts.

To varying degrees, Petersen and Firmage both claimed there was no substance to Fitts story. Petersen was especially insistent that Fitts had contrived the entire scenario. Given that two members of the Arlington Institute Board of Directors directly contradicted her version of events, and I was not able to find any other witnesses to support her claims, I decided to postpone writing an article on the incident until independent confirmation could be found.

Almost five years later, in my recently published book, Galactic Diplomacy: Getting to Yes with ET, I included the incident described by Catherine Fitts along with the denial by John Petersen and Joe Firmage. I wrote:

I have been able to confirm that Fitts served on the Board of Directors of the Arlington Institute during the period in question, and that extraterrestrial life was discussed at some of its closed door meetings as a hypothetical “wildcard event.” However, Fitts’ specific claim of there being a strategic plan sponsored by the U.S. Navy to prepare the public for disclosure of extraterrestrial life, or of a possible meeting an extraterrestrial, was not supported by other Board members.⁴¹⁴

In the footnote 414, I gave some details of my communications with Petersen and Firmage. On July 4, 2013 I received a short email by Ms Fitts with a subject header referencing footnote 414 in my Galactic Diplomacy book where I elaborated on the repudiation of her claims by Arlington Institute Board members. The content of her email directed me to a new page on her Solari website which was just uploaded.  She wrote:

In the spirit of Independence Day, I am publishing the minutes of the board meeting of the Arlington Institute on April 10th, 2000. I have repeatedly stated that I would do so if my description of this meeting was contradicted by any of the members.

With the publication of Galactic Diplomacy, the contradiction of her version of events by other Arlington Institute Board members was now part of the public record. Consequently, Fitts felt free to release documentation supporting her version of events – Minutes of the March 26, 1999 Board of Directors meeting. The Minutes of the meeting state:

Mr. Petersen then reported that the Institute had been approached to determine if it was interested in publishing a study by Pickford and Lindemann on the subject of life outside of the earth. After discussion, there was general agreement that publication of the study would be a good idea and would be consistent with the work otherwise being done by the Institute with respect to wild cards.

While the study mentioned by Pickford and Lindemann is not identified, here is an online account of eight alien contact scenarios they developed for a workshop on extraterrestrial contact as recalled by one of the participants:

Called the second “Contact Planning” meeting and held in Denver, Colorado, this workshop was sponsored by the International Space Sciences Organization and organized by Kyle Pickford and Michael Lindemann…. We spent one afternoon in five groups: business, religion, science, government, and media/public. Each group role-played its behavior for each of eight scenarios. Although I have read lots of literature on post-contact behavior, this was the first time that I deeply grasped just how people in each of those categories may actually behave right after contact…. What can we do now to prepare? We spent the last few hours of the meeting generating and clustering various strategic planning possibilities. A large number of these ideas clearly fit into two clusters that I find very encouraging: (a) tell the general public the truth right away and (b) prepare to communicate and negotiate with ETI in a friendly and cooperative manner, even if its behavior seems unfriendly.

The minutes of the meeting confirm that the Arlington Institute was discussing extraterrestrial contact scenarios in at least one Board of Directors meeting as Fitts claimed. Importantly, the minutes confirm that the Arlington Institute was doing work for clients that involved extraterrestrial contact as a wild card issue. According to Ms Fitts, one of these clients was the US Navy.

In private email communications, Petersen confirmed that Fitts did participate in a Navy Project conducted by the Arlington Institute, and that the extraterrestrial contact issue did come up as a “wild card” future scenario event. However, he pointed out that there was no strategic plan commissioned by the US Navy to prepare the public for extraterrestrial contact as claimed by Fitts.

There remains substantial differences between Catherine Fitts and John Petersen over the extent to which the US Navy interest in extraterrestrial contact issues was part of a strategic study as Fitts claims, or simply part of ad hoc discussions as Petersen contends. Nevertheless, the official Board minutes released by Fitts does lend support to her main claim that the US Navy commissioned a project with the Arlington Institute for its expertise on wild card future scenarios involving extraterrestrial contact. It can therefore be concluded with some confidence that official efforts began in 1998 by the US Navy to prepare for a world where extraterrestrials exist and are living among the human population.

Les Informations du jour des Rencontres Ufologiques

Vous recevez ces informations, vous pouvez les reproduire… 

Recherche Ufologique

UN DOSSIER QUI AVANCE : LE PROJET LICORNE 

Le projet Licorne 2 est basé  sur la création d’un outil  scientifique innovant, à la disposition de tous, qui permettra une avancée dans l’étude du phénomène.

Ce projet, c’est tout simplement la réalisation d’une base de donnée, la plus universelle possible, élaborée en 

corrélation avec des groupes de recherche en France et des échanges d’informations avec des structures 

d’études du phénomène situées aux Etats-Unis ou dans d’autres pays. Elle devra contenir un grand nombre 

d’informations, mettre à disposition un maximum de cas détaillés ou enquêtés. 

Il existe un certain nombre de projets relatifs  à des bases de données, mais soit ils n’ont pas abouti, soit ils

 stagnent et ne répondent pas aux exigences actuelles.

Licorne 2 est la poursuite d’un projet élaboré  en 1989 par le groupe Magonia, sous le nom de «  Licorne » 

bien étudié, très approfondi ;  mais qui n’a pu aboutir à l’époque faute de moyens financiers. Ce projet va donc

 être à nouveau étudié et mis aux normes actuelles et devra répondre aux critères exigés par les groupes et 

chercheurs associés. Nous sommes en face d’un phénomène qui présente d’extrêmes disparités face aux 

diverses situations et il est indispensable de mettre en place un système souple, évolutif et facile d’emploi 

capable de prendre en considération cette diversité sans l’altérer. Outre un travail de recherche, qui associe 

déjà plusieurs chercheurs et  groupes d’études, il y aura dans un second temps un travail important pour

 rentrer les données. 

Si vous souhaitez contribuer à l’élaboration de cette base de données, si vous avez des compétences dans

 ce domaine, nous vous invitons à contacter le Mufon France, gestionnaire du projet, qui concentre depuis

 quelques mois toute la matière grise utile à la mise en place de «  Licorne 2 ».  Informations sur la page

OVNI LYON ET LES RENCONTRES DES SCIENCES ET DE L'INEXPLIQUE

SAMEDI 23 NOVEMBRE 2013

NOUS AVONS LE PLAISIR D'ACCUEILLIR :

MONSIEUR JEAN-GABRIEL GRESLE

1942-1954 : LA GENESE D'UN SECRET D'ETAT

 « 1942-1954, la genèse d’un secret d’Etat », vient couronner en quelque sorte le travail considérable qui avait déjà été accompli et qui avait abouti à la publication de deux ouvrages majeurs pour la compréhension de cette période charnière dans l’histoire de l’humanité : « Extraterrestres : secret d’Etat », et «Documents interdits, la fin d’un secret».

Avec ce dernier opus, le commandant Greslé est allé aussi loin qu’il est possible d’aller en se basant exclusivement sur l’étude minutieuse de documents officiels. Il a montré que la question des ovnis pouvait être un sujet d'étude sérieux pour les historiens, comme la guerre de 100 ans ou la chute de Rome par exemple. Rien n'empêchait de l'examiner sous cet angle et d'en tirer des résultats significatifs. L’ensemble des trois livres forme un tout d’une cohérence irréprochable, et c’est ce qui importe le plus en définitive. La cohérence de l’ensemble rend acceptable le fait qu’il puisse y avoir des éléments dont l’origine est incertaine. La rigueur méthodologique n’est jamais prise en défaut et l’analyse des documents montre une grande connaissance de la façon dont fonctionnent les services de renseignements et la hiérarchie militaire.

Le pari initial était risqué : introduire dans la démonstration des documents dont l’authenticité n’était pas établie à 100%. C’est un exercice à haut risque qui demande de maintenir constamment en alerte son sens critique et de toujours envisager les choses sous plusieurs angles à la fois. Le pari a été tenu, et l’auteur a su rester en équilibre sur la « corde raide » jusqu’au bout si je puis dire.

Le piège à éviter était de considérer ces documents soit comme totalement faux ou, au contraire, comme totalement vrais. S’ils sont totalement faux, ils ne sont d’aucune utilité pour la démonstration, mais d’un autre côté, un doute ne cesse de planer sur l’origine réelle de ces documents. Alors comment faire ? La seule solution est d’évaluer le degré de fiabilité de chaque document pris séparément. Au terme de ce fastidieux travail, la conclusion qui s’impose est qu’une partie seulement des documents est douteuse et que le reste peut être considérée comme fiable. A partir de là, la démonstration se déroulait d’elle-même et les conclusions se déduisaient sans difficulté.

Les conclusions qui s’imposent sont énormes et dérangeantes, mais Jean-Gabriel Greslé fait preuve d’une grande lucidité vis-à-vis de la question d’une présence extraterrestre dans notre environnement. Il va au fond des choses et il ne craint pas d’évoquer certains aspects du problème ovni qui pourraient perturber nos institutions. Comme, par exemple, la présence parmi nous d’être humanoïdes extraterrestres qui pourraient s’infiltrer dans tous les rouages de notre société sans que nous le sachions.

Désormais, les questions que nous devons aborder sont celles qui se rapportent à l’évaluation de l’écart technologique entre eux et nous. Si nous considérons le fait que plusieurs ethnies sont déjà présentes dans le système solaire la question de l’écart technologique devient complexe. Pour certaines ethnies, l’écart n’est peut-être pas aussi considérable que cela. Il pourrait être que de quelques centaines où milliers d’années. Les disques volants récupérés pourraient faire partie de cette catégorie. Pour des ethnies supérieures, l’écart pourrait se chiffrer en dizaines ou en centaines de milliers d’années. Le comportement de certains « vaisseaux » laissent penser que des ethnies de ce niveau se manifestent aussi dans notre environnement. Enfin, en ce qui concerne les ethnies dont l’écart pourrait atteindre des millions d’années, je ne pense pas que nous ayons la moindre chance de les apercevoir et d’espérer le moindre contact avec elles.

En ce qui me concerne, d’autres paramètres entre en jeux : l’écart psycho-spirituel entre eux et nous par exemple. Comme pour l’écart technologique il dépend des ethnies considérées.

Un document pour vos archives relatant une observation étrange faite en 1743.

Source : G-G. CASANOVA DE SEINGALT – Mémoires – éditions de La Pléiade – Gallimard – Paris, 1958 pages 177 – 178

La scène se déroule dans la nuit du 31 août au 1^er septembre 1743, durant le voyage qui mène le jeune CASANOVA vers Rome où il doit rencontrer un évêque influent.

“ De Terni j’allai à pied à Cirocoli, où je m’arrêtai le temps nécessaire pour examiner à mon aise l’ancien beau pont, et de là un voiturier me mena pour quatre paoli à Castel-Nuovo, d’où je me rendis à Rome. J’arrivai dans cette ville célèbre le premier de septembre à neuf heures du matin.

Je ne dois point taire ici une circonstance particulière qui plaira à plus d’un lecteur, quelque ridicule qu’elle soit au fond.

Une heure après Castel-Nuovo, l’air étant calme et le ciel serein, j’aperçus à ma droite et à dix pas de moi une flamme pyramidale de la hauteur d’une coudée et élevée de quatre à cinq pieds au-dessus du niveau du terrain. Cette apparition me frappa, car elle semblait m’accompagner. Voulant l’étudier, je cherchai à m’en approcher, mais, plus j’allais de son côté, et plus elle s’éloignait de moi. Elle s’arrêtait dès que je m’arrêtais et, lorsque la partie du chemin que je traversais se trouvait bordée d’arbres, je cessais de la voir, mais je la retrouvais dès que le bord du chemin redevenait libre. J’essayai aussi de retourner sur mes pas, mais chaque fois elle disparaissait et ne se remontrait que lorsque je me dirigeais de nouveau vers Rome. Ce singulier fanal ne me quitta que lorsque la lumière du jour eut chassé les ténèbres.

Quel champ merveilleux pour la superstition ignorante si, ayant eu des témoins de ce fait, il m’était arrivé de faire une brillante carrière à Rome ! L’histoire est remplie de bagatelles de cette importance et le monde est plein de gens qui en font encore grand cas, malgré les prétendues lumières que les sciences procurent à l’esprit humain. Je dois avouer en toute vérité qu’en dépit de mes connaissances en physique, la vue de ce petit météore n’a pas laissé de me donner des idées singulières. J’eus la prudence de n’en rien dire à personne “

On peut se demander ce qu’a vu CASANOVA cette nuit-là. Que pouvait bien être cette « flamme pyramidale » de 50 cm de hauteur qui se déplaçait à un peu plus d’un mètre du sol ?

UNE NOUVELLE LIVRAISON D’ARCHIVES UFOLOGIQUES FAITE PAR LE SCEAU A LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE DU PONTIFFROY A METZ POUR LA POSTÉRIORITÉ

 Le vendredi 21 juin 2013, au siège de l’association LE SCEAU (Sauvegarde et Conservation des Études et Archives Ufologiques ») c’était le début d’un week-end particulièrement studieux, consacré comme c’est l’habitude à un travail actif. Il s’agissait de préparer une nouvelle livraison de nombreux cartons de livres qui devaient partir le lendemain pour Metz. Tout est fait en respectant les réglés les plus draconiennes en matière d’archivage. Il convenait donc de vérifier une ultime fois que tous les ouvrages déposés étaient bien inventoriés dans la base de données des livres francophones et livres en langues étrangères, d’apposer les  marques du Sceau (tampon) qui en cas de vol  permettraient une identification des origines des documents, terminer la mise en carton etc…. Un travail actif, assuré ce jour là par Gilles Durand qui avait au préalable apporté les cartons nécessaires, par Didier Charnay de passage sur Paris, et Jacques Scornaux le président du Sceau.

Le lendemain 22 juin 2013 dès 8 h 30 précise, Raoul Robé et Lionel Robé sont venus prendre le précieux chargement, le 8éme dépôt du Sceau dans cette bibliothèque (Bibliothèque du Pontiffroy à Metz.) Tout avait été préparé pour le chargement par Jacques Scornaux et Thierry Rocher, qui le matin de bonheur, étaient déjà à l’œuvre. Mission accomplie, un SSM de Raoul Robé a averti le «  gros «  de la troupe restée sur place pour assurer une journée d’inventaire des archives confiées. (entre autre, les archives de SOS Ovni). Notons la présence ce jour-là, pour vérifier comment le SCEAU travaille, de Jean Pierre Rospars, ingénieur agronome et directeur de recherches à l’Inra. Jean Piere Rospart s’intéresse depuis bien longtemps aux phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés, mais curieux, il souhaitait se rendre compte de la façon dont le SCEAU travaillait. Une preuve de l’intérêt que les chercheurs les plus compétents portent au travail du Sceau.

Le SCEAU, ce ne sont pas des amateurs, il existe et  travaille activement depuis 1990, l’équipe comporte des membres actifs de grande qualité, reconnus dans le monde ufologique pour leur sérieux et leurs compétences. C’est la garantie d’un travail bien fait, de l’accomplissement d’une œuvre bénéfique pour tous.

Rappelons que les fonds récupérés par le SCEAU sont répartis dans les lieux de dépôts en fonction de leur nature.
Après classement et inventaire, (dont le SCEAU détient tous les éléments, documents à votre disposition) les archives et périodiques sont déposées auprès des Archives de France (Archives Nationales ou Départementales) tandis que les livres, statutairement refusés par les Archives (livres et revues figurant au dépôt légal) sont déposés dans des bibliothèques publiques. Tous ces dépôts font l'objet d'un contrat visant à assurer leur pérennité et définissant les conditions de consultation.

À ce jour, c’est plus de 40 fonds d’archives issus de particuliers, associations ou organismes divers qui sont sauvegardés dans des établissements spécialisés, disséminés aux quatre coins de la France et en Suisse. Une formidable collection comportant des dizaines de milliers de documents accessibles à tous et qui nécessiteraient si on ouvrait un établissement spécialisé (mais qui financerait ?) de nombreuses pièces ou de grands volumes. On sait ou et quoi est archivé, on peut facilement en prendre connaissance, c’est ouvert au public, de plus, tout n’est pas concentré en un seul endroit, mais réparti sur le territoire national en fonction de l’origine des donations.

13EME RÉUNIONS DES CAFÉS UFOLOGIQUES DE CORRIENTES EN ARGENTINE – MERCREDI 3 JUILLET 2013

SE LLEVÓ A CABO LA DÉCIMA TERCERA REUNIÓN DEL CAFÉ UFOLÓGICO DE CORRIENTES

Andrés Salvador

En la tarde del miércoles 3 de julio se realizó en la librería Capitulo 1 [Mendoza 750 -Corrientes], la 13º Reunión del Café Ufológico de Corrientes.

La misma comenzó a las 19 hs. con la presencia de Franco Antonio Aguirre, Fernando Martín Benítez, Carlos Coria, Marcelo Juan Gainza, José Andrés Gómez, Pablo Omastott, Margarita Rotela, Juan Sebastián Verón y quien esto suscribe.

En una reunión no apta para quienes padecen de tetradecafobia, los temas abordados fueron muy variados. Así se comentó como conseguir libros y otras publicaciones sobre el fenómeno, recomendándose la consulta de sitios de internet como Mercado Libre o el sitio de Ediciones Halbrane.

Se comentó sobre el llamado Experimento Filadelfia, nombre que recibió un supuesto experimento secreto llevado a cabo por la marina estadounidense en los astilleros navales de Filadelfia, en el estado de Pensilvania, durante o antes del 28 de octubre de 1943 y en el que un destructor de escolta, el USS Eldridge (DE-173), se habría vuelto totalmente invisible a la vista, al mismo tiempo, en la base naval estadounidense en Norfolk, Virginia, a 600 km de distancia, un tripulante en sus costas declaró haber visto al navío durante 15 minutos, que nuevamente desaparece para volver a aparecer en Filadelfia.

La posible presencia de tecnología humana detrás de muchos de los casos de observación de OVNIS llevo a recordar los avistamientos masivos de objetos triangulares en el cielo de Bélgica entre 1989 y 1990. Esta tipo de artefacto se conoce también por el nombre de "Big Black Deltas" (BBDs) o "Flying Triangles". La serie de TV The X-Files presenta en el episodio titulado "Deep Throat" una nave de forma triangular que sería conforme a la opinión de Fox Mulder un vehículo experimental de la fuerza aérea estadounidense que usa tecnología extraterrestre.

El posible origen humano se planteó también en relación a los Círculos en las cosechas (en inglés Crop circle) también llamados agrogramas, fenómeno que comienza a ser conocido partir de del año 1976, cuando aparecieron los primeros de ellos en Winchester (Reino Unido) si bien existen registros anteriores.

Se explico que ALF nombre de la popular serie de televisión estadounidense, emitida por la NBC entre 1986 y 1990 es un acrónimo en inglés para Alien Life Form con el que se designaba a un amigable extraterrestre llamado Gordon Shumway proveniente del planeta Melmac.

También se destacó la La importancia de los conceptos elaborados por Thomas Kuhn que distingue en la ciencia dos momentos que denomina [I] ciencia normal, y [2] ciencia extraordinaria en relación a los cuales propone los conceptos deparadigma, crisis en el paradigma dominante y revolución científica, y donde el concepto de ciencia normal está ligado al de: Crisis en el paradigma dominante que se presenta cuando la profesión no puede pasar por alto las anomalías que subvierten la tradición existente de prácticas científicas, llamándose la atención sobre el interés de pensar en el fenómeno OVNI en términos de una Anomalía.

En este sentido se sostuvo que frente a sus propios fenómenos anómalos, la parapsicología fue reconocida en 1969 como una verdadera ciencia por la Sociedad de mayor autoridad en el mundo en materia de ciencia, la AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) por haber dado una respuesta conforme al método científico y en esto, el estudio de los OVNIS puede encontrar una pauta a seguir.

Se recordó a Hombre mirando al sudeste, película argentina escrita y dirigida por Eliseo Subiela en 1986 y su controvertida influencia en la coproducción estadounidense alemana K-PAXdel 2001 dirigida por Iain Softley.

El comentario hecho sobre la observación de Humanoides en Paso Lovera (Corrientes) en enero 2002 dio lugar a que se recuerde la explicación propuesta por Scott Corrales en su artículo Holograms and High Strangeness publicado en la revista Fate Magazine de marzo de 2003.

Se recomendó por la calidad de los documentos presentados, ver en la serie Contacto extraterrestre que es emitida por The History Channel, el abordaje del Caso Polanco o Caso Bariloche ocurrido el 31 de julio de 1995.

Al final de la reunión se obsequió a Franco Antonio Aguirre con un ejemplar del libro del Dr. Roberto Banchs, Guía Biográfica de la Ufología Argentina - Los primeros veinticinco años (1947-1972), ed. Cefai, Buenos Aires, 2000, 128 pp. que fuera donado oportunamente por su autor para ser distribuido por el Café.

Posteriormente tantoFranco Antonio Aguirre, como Juan Sebastián Verón adhirieron a la petición dirigida a la Sra. Presidenta de la Nación que impulsa la Comisión de Estudios Fenómeno OVNI República Argentina - CEFORA a fin de que se proceda a la desclasificación de los expedientes OVNI de los organismos oficiales.

La 14º Reunión del Café Ufológico de Corrientes quedó fijada para el próximo 7 de agosto en el mismo lugar y hora. (Fotografías: Pablo Omastott).

Recherche Ufologique

UN DOSSIER QUI AVANCE : LE PROJET LICORNE 

Le projet Licorne 2 est basé  sur la création d’un outil  scientifique innovant, à la disposition de tous, qui permettra une avancée dans l’étude du phénomène.

Ce projet, c’est tout simplement la réalisation d’une base de donnée, la plus universelle possible, élaborée en 

corrélation avec des groupes de recherche en France et des échanges d’informations avec des structures 

d’études du phénomène situées aux Etats-Unis ou dans d’autres pays. Elle devra contenir un grand nombre 

d’informations, mettre à disposition un maximum de cas détaillés ou enquêtés. 

Il existe un certain nombre de projets relatifs  à des bases de données, mais soit ils n’ont pas abouti, soit ils

 stagnent et ne répondent pas aux exigences actuelles.

Licorne 2 est la poursuite d’un projet élaboré  en 1989 par le groupe Magonia, sous le nom de «  Licorne » 

bien étudié, très approfondi ;  mais qui n’a pu aboutir à l’époque faute de moyens financiers. Ce projet va donc

 être à nouveau étudié et mis aux normes actuelles et devra répondre aux critères exigés par les groupes et 

chercheurs associés. Nous sommes en face d’un phénomène qui présente d’extrêmes disparités face aux 

diverses situations et il est indispensable de mettre en place un système souple, évolutif et facile d’emploi 

capable de prendre en considération cette diversité sans l’altérer. Outre un travail de recherche, qui associe 

déjà plusieurs chercheurs et  groupes d’études, il y aura dans un second temps un travail important pour

 rentrer les données. 

Si vous souhaitez contribuer à l’élaboration de cette base de données, si vous avez des compétences dans

 ce domaine, nous vous invitons à contacter le Mufon France, gestionnaire du projet, qui concentre depuis

 quelques mois toute la matière grise utile à la mise en place de «  Licorne 2 ».  Informations sur la page

OVNI LYON ET LES RENCONTRES DES SCIENCES ET DE L'INEXPLIQUE

SAMEDI 23 NOVEMBRE 2013

NOUS AVONS LE PLAISIR D'ACCUEILLIR :

MONSIEUR JEAN-GABRIEL GRESLE

1942-1954 : LA GENESE D'UN SECRET D'ETAT

 « 1942-1954, la genèse d’un secret d’Etat », vient couronner en quelque sorte le travail considérable qui avait déjà été accompli et qui avait abouti à la publication de deux ouvrages majeurs pour la compréhension de cette période charnière dans l’histoire de l’humanité : « Extraterrestres : secret d’Etat », et «Documents interdits, la fin d’un secret».

Avec ce dernier opus, le commandant Greslé est allé aussi loin qu’il est possible d’aller en se basant exclusivement sur l’étude minutieuse de documents officiels. Il a montré que la question des ovnis pouvait être un sujet d'étude sérieux pour les historiens, comme la guerre de 100 ans ou la chute de Rome par exemple. Rien n'empêchait de l'examiner sous cet angle et d'en tirer des résultats significatifs. L’ensemble des trois livres forme un tout d’une cohérence irréprochable, et c’est ce qui importe le plus en définitive. La cohérence de l’ensemble rend acceptable le fait qu’il puisse y avoir des éléments dont l’origine est incertaine. La rigueur méthodologique n’est jamais prise en défaut et l’analyse des documents montre une grande connaissance de la façon dont fonctionnent les services de renseignements et la hiérarchie militaire.

Le pari initial était risqué : introduire dans la démonstration des documents dont l’authenticité n’était pas établie à 100%. C’est un exercice à haut risque qui demande de maintenir constamment en alerte son sens critique et de toujours envisager les choses sous plusieurs angles à la fois. Le pari a été tenu, et l’auteur a su rester en équilibre sur la « corde raide » jusqu’au bout si je puis dire.

Le piège à éviter était de considérer ces documents soit comme totalement faux ou, au contraire, comme totalement vrais. S’ils sont totalement faux, ils ne sont d’aucune utilité pour la démonstration, mais d’un autre côté, un doute ne cesse de planer sur l’origine réelle de ces documents. Alors comment faire ? La seule solution est d’évaluer le degré de fiabilité de chaque document pris séparément. Au terme de ce fastidieux travail, la conclusion qui s’impose est qu’une partie seulement des documents est douteuse et que le reste peut être considérée comme fiable. A partir de là, la démonstration se déroulait d’elle-même et les conclusions se déduisaient sans difficulté.

Les conclusions qui s’imposent sont énormes et dérangeantes, mais Jean-Gabriel Greslé fait preuve d’une grande lucidité vis-à-vis de la question d’une présence extraterrestre dans notre environnement. Il va au fond des choses et il ne craint pas d’évoquer certains aspects du problème ovni qui pourraient perturber nos institutions. Comme, par exemple, la présence parmi nous d’être humanoïdes extraterrestres qui pourraient s’infiltrer dans tous les rouages de notre société sans que nous le sachions.

Désormais, les questions que nous devons aborder sont celles qui se rapportent à l’évaluation de l’écart technologique entre eux et nous. Si nous considérons le fait que plusieurs ethnies sont déjà présentes dans le système solaire la question de l’écart technologique devient complexe. Pour certaines ethnies, l’écart n’est peut-être pas aussi considérable que cela. Il pourrait être que de quelques centaines où milliers d’années. Les disques volants récupérés pourraient faire partie de cette catégorie. Pour des ethnies supérieures, l’écart pourrait se chiffrer en dizaines ou en centaines de milliers d’années. Le comportement de certains « vaisseaux » laissent penser que des ethnies de ce niveau se manifestent aussi dans notre environnement. Enfin, en ce qui concerne les ethnies dont l’écart pourrait atteindre des millions d’années, je ne pense pas que nous ayons la moindre chance de les apercevoir et d’espérer le moindre contact avec elles.

En ce qui me concerne, d’autres paramètres entre en jeux : l’écart psycho-spirituel entre eux et nous par exemple. Comme pour l’écart technologique il dépend des ethnies considérées.

Daniel Robin.

Un document pour vos archives relatant une observation étrange faite en 1743.

Source : G-G. CASANOVA DE SEINGALT – Mémoires – éditions de La Pléiade – Gallimard – Paris, 1958 pages 177 – 178

La scène se déroule dans la nuit du 31 août au 1^er septembre 1743, durant le voyage qui mène le jeune CASANOVA vers Rome où il doit rencontrer un évêque influent.

“ De Terni j’allai à pied à Cirocoli, où je m’arrêtai le temps nécessaire pour examiner à mon aise l’ancien beau pont, et de là un voiturier me mena pour quatre paoli à Castel-Nuovo, d’où je me rendis à Rome. J’arrivai dans cette ville célèbre le premier de septembre à neuf heures du matin.

Je ne dois point taire ici une circonstance particulière qui plaira à plus d’un lecteur, quelque ridicule qu’elle soit au fond.

Une heure après Castel-Nuovo, l’air étant calme et le ciel serein, j’aperçus à ma droite et à dix pas de moi une flamme pyramidale de la hauteur d’une coudée et élevée de quatre à cinq pieds au-dessus du niveau du terrain. Cette apparition me frappa, car elle semblait m’accompagner. Voulant l’étudier, je cherchai à m’en approcher, mais, plus j’allais de son côté, et plus elle s’éloignait de moi. Elle s’arrêtait dès que je m’arrêtais et, lorsque la partie du chemin que je traversais se trouvait bordée d’arbres, je cessais de la voir, mais je la retrouvais dès que le bord du chemin redevenait libre. J’essayai aussi de retourner sur mes pas, mais chaque fois elle disparaissait et ne se remontrait que lorsque je me dirigeais de nouveau vers Rome. Ce singulier fanal ne me quitta que lorsque la lumière du jour eut chassé les ténèbres.

Quel champ merveilleux pour la superstition ignorante si, ayant eu des témoins de ce fait, il m’était arrivé de faire une brillante carrière à Rome ! L’histoire est remplie de bagatelles de cette importance et le monde est plein de gens qui en font encore grand cas, malgré les prétendues lumières que les sciences procurent à l’esprit humain. Je dois avouer en toute vérité qu’en dépit de mes connaissances en physique, la vue de ce petit météore n’a pas laissé de me donner des idées singulières. J’eus la prudence de n’en rien dire à personne “

On peut se demander ce qu’a vu CASANOVA cette nuit-là. Que pouvait bien être cette « flamme pyramidale » de 50 cm de hauteur qui se déplaçait à un peu plus d’un mètre du sol ?

On peut trouver ces mémoires sur EBay, mais à des prix élevés!

UNE NOUVELLE LIVRAISON D’ARCHIVES UFOLOGIQUES FAITE PAR LE SCEAU A LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE DU PONTIFFROY A METZ POUR LA POSTÉRIORITÉ

 Le vendredi 21 juin 2013, au siège de l’association LE SCEAU (Sauvegarde et Conservation des Études et Archives Ufologiques ») c’était le début d’un week-end particulièrement studieux, consacré comme c’est l’habitude à un travail actif. Il s’agissait de préparer une nouvelle livraison de nombreux cartons de livres qui devaient partir le lendemain pour Metz. Tout est fait en respectant les réglés les plus draconiennes en matière d’archivage. Il convenait donc de vérifier une ultime fois que tous les ouvrages déposés étaient bien inventoriés dans la base de données des livres francophones et livres en langues étrangères, d’apposer les  marques du Sceau (tampon) qui en cas de vol  permettraient une identification des origines des documents, terminer la mise en carton etc…. Un travail actif, assuré ce jour là par Gilles Durand qui avait au préalable apporté les cartons nécessaires, par Didier Charnay de passage sur Paris, et Jacques Scornaux le président du Sceau.

Le lendemain 22 juin 2013 dès 8 h 30 précise, Raoul Robé et Lionel Robé sont venus prendre le précieux chargement, le 8éme dépôt du Sceau dans cette bibliothèque (Bibliothèque du Pontiffroy à Metz.) Tout avait été préparé pour le chargement par Jacques Scornaux et Thierry Rocher, qui le matin de bonheur, étaient déjà à l’œuvre. Mission accomplie, un SSM de Raoul Robé a averti le «  gros «  de la troupe restée sur place pour assurer une journée d’inventaire des archives confiées. (entre autre, les archives de SOS Ovni). Notons la présence ce jour-là, pour vérifier comment le SCEAU travaille, de Jean Pierre Rospars, ingénieur agronome et directeur de recherches à l’Inra. Jean Piere Rospart s’intéresse depuis bien longtemps aux phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés, mais curieux, il souhaitait se rendre compte de la façon dont le SCEAU travaillait. Une preuve de l’intérêt que les chercheurs les plus compétents portent au travail du Sceau.

Le SCEAU, ce ne sont pas des amateurs, il existe et  travaille activement depuis 1990, l’équipe comporte des membres actifs de grande qualité, reconnus dans le monde ufologique pour leur sérieux et leurs compétences. C’est la garantie d’un travail bien fait, de l’accomplissement d’une œuvre bénéfique pour tous.

Rappelons que les fonds récupérés par le SCEAU sont répartis dans les lieux de dépôts en fonction de leur nature.
Après classement et inventaire, (dont le SCEAU détient tous les éléments, documents à votre disposition) les archives et périodiques sont déposées auprès des Archives de France (Archives Nationales ou Départementales) tandis que les livres, statutairement refusés par les Archives (livres et revues figurant au dépôt légal) sont déposés dans des bibliothèques publiques. Tous ces dépôts font l'objet d'un contrat visant à assurer leur pérennité et définissant les conditions de consultation.

À ce jour, c’est plus de 40 fonds d’archives issus de particuliers, associations ou organismes divers qui sont sauvegardés dans des établissements spécialisés, disséminés aux quatre coins de la France et en Suisse. Une formidable collection comportant des dizaines de milliers de documents accessibles à tous et qui nécessiteraient si on ouvrait un établissement spécialisé (mais qui financerait ?) de nombreuses pièces ou de grands volumes. On sait ou et quoi est archivé, on peut facilement en prendre connaissance, c’est ouvert au public, de plus, tout n’est pas concentré en un seul endroit, mais réparti sur le territoire national en fonction de l’origine des donations.

13EME RÉUNIONS DES CAFÉS UFOLOGIQUES DE CORRIENTES EN ARGENTINE – MERCREDI 3 JUILLET 2013

SE LLEVÓ A CABO LA DÉCIMA TERCERA REUNIÓN DEL CAFÉ UFOLÓGICO DE CORRIENTES

Andrés Salvador

En la tarde del miércoles 3 de julio se realizó en la librería Capitulo 1 [Mendoza 750 -Corrientes], la 13º Reunión del Café Ufológico de Corrientes.

La misma comenzó a las 19 hs. con la presencia de Franco Antonio Aguirre, Fernando Martín Benítez, Carlos Coria, Marcelo Juan Gainza, José Andrés Gómez, Pablo Omastott, Margarita Rotela, Juan Sebastián Verón y quien esto suscribe.

Information, especially for our friends in South America...

El jueves 1 de agosto a las 18:30 nos reuniremos nuevamente en el Café Ufológico RIO54.

Foto, de Izq a Der: Juan J. Castelli, Horacio Sorbaro, Javier Bertolotto, Alejandro Merel, Alberto Portalet, Javier Stagnaro, Mario Lupo, Alex Gómez, Daniel Postizzi, Roberto Marino,  Claudia Molina, Ana Serrano, Pablo Auero, Ricardo Quinteros, Luis Alberto Baynham, Rubén Morales, Horacio Pistoni, Mario Coen,  Pablo Cardozo, Alejandro De la Barra, Roberto Banchs, Anabella Veja, Verónica Suárez, Andrea Pérez Simondini y Sebastián Haraya. Estuvieron presentes, pero no aparecen en la foto: Iván Orenstein y Rubén Romano.

RIO54, el primer Café Ufológico argentino, demuestra en cada reunión que el tema ovni moviliza el interés de hombres y mujeres de todas las edades y formación, dispuestos a encontrarse una vez por mes en el Café de la Subasta para conversar amigablemente sobre el tema de sus amores. En el encuentro del pasado 4 de julio hubo dos nuevos participantes que fueron bienvenidos a la larga mesa, Roberto Marino y Javier Bertolotto.

Roberto Marino, originario de Gaiman, Pcia. de Chubut, contó diversas experiencias personales vividas en lugares emblemáticos de la ufología, como la estancia La Aurora en Salto (Uruguay) donde observó extrañas luces y también observó un cigarro sobre los cerros "Las Gemelas" en Capilla del Monte (Pcia. de Córdoba, Argentina). También sorprendió su relato sobre una emanación de energía luminosa que se veía salir del suelo en San Marcos Sierras, pueblo muy cercano a Capilla del Monte. La anécdota derivó en la posibilidad de que existan bases o ciudades subterráneas, ante lo cual Sebastián Haraya comentó que eran de interés los libros publicados por Robert Teske (en inglés) acerca la llamada "Base Dulce" en Estados Unidos, a la que ese autor describe como una gran instalación subterránea excavada en distintos niveles de profundidad, con experimentos más secretos a medida que se desciende, lo que incluiría desde manipulaciones genéticas hasta coacción hacia alienígenas. Sebastián reflexionó que ese modelo de estructura se parece a los inframundos sucesivos de la mitología maya según su libro sagrado, el Popul Vuh. Explicó que Teske abunda en datos que relacionan la milicia, la NSA y los extraterrestres. También la Dra. Karla Turner en su diario sobre visitantes de dormitorio se refiere a las denominadas  "Blacks Ops" (Operaciones Negras).

Luis Baynham habló entonces de los ovnis vistos en proximidad de volcanes, en particular el recientemente conocido caso del Popocatepetl en México, sobre lo cual circularon en la mesa diversas interpretaciones, y Horacio Pistoni amplió diciendo que la fumarola dejó de emitir gases luego de ese episodio.

Alejandro De la Barra recordó el avistaje del comandante de Aerolíneas Argentinas Jorge Polanco, poco antes de aterrizar en Bariloche con el Boeing 727 que pilotaba. Morales aportó algunos detalles sobre ese caso de 1995, por ejemplo que la Fuerza Aérea difundió la investigación que hizo, investigación que llegaba hasta un punto y se truncaba alegando que la Aeronáutica no tenía una comisión específica para estudiar los ovnis. 

El Ing. De La Barra expresó su deseo de que una persona como el comandante Polanco pudiera venir un día a RIO54, para poder hablar de casos como ese, con diversos testigos, observación desde dos aviones y torre de control.

La charla se animó con diferentes puntos de vista, aportados entre otros por Mario Lupo, Javier Stagnaro, Sebastián Haraya y Mario Coen, acerca de cuales son los datos duros para decir que algo es un "ovni", un "plato volador", ¿que características debe básicamente tener? -preguntó Mario. De la Barra hizo hincapié en los parámetros físicos, por ejemplo que un tal objeto debería tener un comportamiento absurdo como ser aceleraciones o velocidades extremas. Morales añadió que para que el fenómeno sea absurdo, no es indispensable pensar en violaciones a las leyes de la física, porque absurda era la piedra voladora que vio Guillermo Girotti junto a su hermano, según lo relató en nuestra reunión anterior. Era absurdo ver una roca por el cielo, pero no necesariamente una violación de las leyes físicas. Sebastián fue por más, al decir que toda observación sucede en un esquema de creencias, como decía John Keel, y se interrogó si una aparición mariana podría considerarse como un evento ovni.

En la misma línea, Coen afirmó que el fenómeno importa porque el hombre existe, y que las interpretaciones dependen de las personas. Mencionó por caso la oleada de 1897 en Estados Unidos cuando se vieron objetos voladores parecidos a dirigibles o aeroplanos, antes de que estuvieran inventados. Javier Stagnaro indicó que era una fecha muy cercana a la invención de estos aparatos y que bien pudo haber prototipos que estuvieran probándose en 1897 aunque no aparecieran en la prensa. Luis Baynham evocó uno de estos casos de 1897, citado por el autor Anglada Font: Un grupo familiar que participaba de una fiesta nocturna se sorprendió al oir gritos de auxilio que provenían del cielo, sin poder establecer de donde.  Los gritos se alejaron hasta hacerse inaudibles.

Rubén Romano, inspirado en el pensamiento de Jacques Vallée, siguió los argumentos de Coen al generalizar que se tiende a ver al fenómeno como algo ajeno, externo al ser humano, y que esa "ajenidad" -como tal- ha estado presente en las creencias humanas desde los albores de la cultura. Son aspectos que se internan en el campo de lo subjetivo. Mencionó como ejemplo que en casos de abducción se ha relatado el ascenso al ovni por una escalerilla convencional, lo cual siembra una contradicción, eso no parece compatible con una supertecnología.

Casi sin darnos cuenta, la charla nos había internado en temas conceptuales y hasta filosóficos, en el sentido de cuestionarnos, de hacernos preguntas, de profundizar, mucho más allá de las noticias que se publican en internet y en la prensa. Eso causó cierta inquietud, porque claro, cuestionarse, preguntarse, hace revisar lo que se piensa y eso genera ansiedad, es la angustia previa a la obtención de un conocimiento. 

Morales refirió que hay un estereotipo mental del "plato volador" que no deja verlo como un fenómeno más amplio: "Yo mismo, si viera un ovni y éste no tuviera forma de plato, me sentiría defraudado" -bromeó. Y también planteó la posibilidad de ser visitados por una civilización que de ninguna manera desee tomar contacto con los terrestres. Aimé Michel, pionero de la investigación ovni en Francia, planteaba que si el abismo cultural entre los visitantes y nosotros fuera tan amplio como el que existe entre el entomólogo y la hormiga, no habría comunicación posible. La hormiga siente que le pasan cosas pero no entiende, cuando la ponen en un microscopio por ejemplo, y el científico que la observa no tiene en sus planes comunicarse con ella.

Juan Castelli, nacido en Rawson, originario de la Patagonia Argentina al igual que Roberto Marino, trajo a la mesa el caso citado en otras reuniones de los submarinos fantasmas vistos en el Atlántico Sur.Halló información en la excelente web de Historia y Arqueología Marítima de la Fundación Histarmar sobre la Operación Golfo Nuevo, cuando buques y aviones de la Armada atacaron a un sumergible sin identificar el 21 de mayo de 1958. 

Javier Stagnaro añadió que entre los participantes del ataque había un joven oficial de Infantería de Marina que era Daniel Perissé, el que luego en 1965 sería mundialmente conocido por las observaciones de ovnis en la Antártida. Perissé le había contado a Javier algunas rarezas sucedidas en esa Operación Golfo Nuevo del año '58. Una de ellas es que luego de toda esa estresante jornada rastreando al sumergible por sonar y lanzándole cargas de profundidad, llegó la noche y con ella se inició una intensa vigilia desde los barcos. Entonces se vio, en la lejanía, media docena de esferas luminosas que emergían del mar. Y al día siguiente los marinos recorrieron la playa y allí encontraron dos novedades: huellas de patas de rana (o similares) que provenían del mar y una gran marca en forma de cuña hundida en la arena, como si un objeto pesado hubiera estado apoyado en ese lugar, sin que se observen en las cercanías  huellas de  ruedas o de otro tipo, lo que significaría que, cualquier cosa que haya sido, debió irse por el aire.

Stagnaro remarcó que ningún país reclamó la propiedad de ese submarino furtivo y que hasta podría pensarse en un U-boot alemán que permaneció oculto luego de la segunda guerra.

Daniel Postizzi sumó otra anécdota naval, que le fue contada por un radarista ya retirado. En un viaje de la Fragata Libertad, el buque insignia de la Armada Argentina, se realizaba una práctica de navegación nocturna a oscuras, con los sistemas eléctricos desconectados, lo que es una práctica habitual para el entrenamiento de la tripulación en situaciones extremas. Solamente el radar permanecía encendido por seguridad, y su pantalla era la única fuente de luz en la sala. De pronto el radarista escuchó un fuerte griterío en cubierta. Había aparecido sobre el buque una bola de luz roja que se movía rápido y azarosamente, "como un buscapiés". La luz entró a la fragata atravesando el casco, llegó a la sala de máquinas, de ahí a la de radar, salió por la cubierta hacia proa y se perdió en el horizonte.

Por su parte, Andrea Pérez Simondini expresó su alegría de haber localizado y entrevistado a Roberto Wilkinson, piloto de la Armada que el 22 de mayo de 1962 observó desde su avión varios objetos no identificados cerca de la Base Aeronaval Comandante Espora, Prov. de Buenos Aires.

Rubén Morales finalmente expresó su satisfacción porque además de la Red Argentina de Cafés Ufológicos que está plena de actividades en cada ciudad, se ha producido la segunda reunión del Café Ovni de Valencia, España, coordinado por Luis Pisu, a quien deseamos el mayor de los éxitos y esperamos que surjan más cafés ufológicos en el país y en el mundo.

Así transcurrió la reunión del Café Ufológico de Julio, entre informaciones, investigaciones, anécdotas y reflexiones. Los variados temas fueron tratados con profundidad e interés, lo que demuestra la importancia, la necesidad, de abrir espacios de diálogo como los cafés ufológicos para que afloren contenidos tan enriquecedores para el conocimiento y gratificantes para el espíritu.

Como siempre se sortearon gratuitamente entre los presentes revistas aportadas por Javier Stagnaro y Verónica Suárez, libros donados (y, por estar presente, en esta ocasión también rubricados) por Roberto Banchs, un DVD con buena bibliografía ufológica en formato digital que aportó Sebastián Haraya y un curso en DVD donado por Mario Lupo. Gracias a todos los que colaboran con aportes para el esperado momento del sorteo.

La próxima reunión del Café Ufológico RIO54 será el jueves 1 de agosto, como siempre a las 18,30 en el Café de la Subasta, Río de Janeiro 54, Buenos Aires.

The Filer Research Institute feels 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. The Institute now provides advanced research and consultation on a wide range of subjects.

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.

You Live on a Wonderful World

Life on Super Underground Water Earths

A new ‘super-Earth’ has been discovered that could have a life-supporting climate and water. The planet, called HD 40307g, was discovered in a multi-world solar system 42 light years from the Sun and lies at exactly the right distance from its star to allow liquid surface water. It orbits well within the star's “habitable” or “Goldilocks” zone - the region where temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold to sustain life.

Professor Hugh Jones, from the University of Hertfordshire said: “The longer orbit of the new planet means that its climate and atmosphere may be just right to support life.”

”Just as Goldilocks liked her porridge to be neither too hot nor too cold but just right, this planet or indeed any moons that is has lie in an orbit comparable to Earth, increasing the probability of it being habitable.”“

The ‘super earth’ is one of six planets believed to circle the dwarf star HD 40307 in the constellation Pictor. The planet turns on its axis, giving it a regular day and night cycle and making its environment even more Earth-like.

 Underground water could greatly increase the chances of planets harboring extraterrestrial life. Taking into account sub-surface habitats broadens the range of places life-sustaining planets can occupy, a study has found. It means there could be around seven times more billions of life-bearing planets than is currently believed. 

Potentially habitable rocky planets are said to lie in the "Goldilocks zone" –able to support surface liquid water. Several such worlds have already been discovered. But including the possibility of life below the ground means the Goldilocks zone can be wider, thereby increasing the number of planets on which organisms could dwell.

Mars may be the closest planet where life exists below the surface as shown by finger-like water streaks five yards wide on crater wall.

On Earth, living microbes are found at depths of up to around five kilometers. How far below the surface organisms can survive depends on warmth both from a planet's star, and interior geothermal heating. "We have developed a new model to show how Goldilocks zones can be calculated for underground water and hence life," said lead researcher Sean McMahon, from the University of Aberdeen's School of Geosciences."Billions more habitable planets exist if you are prepared to take into account sub-surface life." Mr. McMahon, a Ph.D. University of Aberdeen student reports, “If the planets are large enough their interiors could be warmed by geothermal forces alone.”

Tired of Abductions

From Barbara Wade Quoting: "Alexandra Petri, Published: May 3, 2013 in Washington Post stated in part, 'The activist Stephen Bassett observed that the UFO subject is a third rail for media and public officials. “You can be gay and have five wives and you can do anything and get out of the closet on it and it’ll be no problem but this… watch out, your careers on the line.” The social opprobrium attached to this issue was launched in 1953… little green men ha ha.'  " 

“AND people like me (abductee/contactee) are so mixed up that they can't even keep appointments accurately. My eye doctor had to call me yesterday, because I was late for my appointment. I was ABDUCTED and the ETs didn't get me back home in time. Fortunately, I live near the doctor's office, so I was only 20 minutes late. It raises ***LL with anything I want to do normally”

I hope the government has full disclosure soon. I have gotten so that I tell my doctors about it, whether they want to hear it or not.

“To show what my life is like at home: Once I shut off my PC at 1:00 AM, and walked straight across the living room to the bedroom. I didn't stop for anything. When I got to the bedroom DAYLIGHT WAS COMING THROUGH THE BLINDS, and the clock on the bed table said 6:00AM! The ETs just picked me up and put me back without me knowing it.

Another time, my car was zigzagged across highway I-17 here in AZ, coming from a UFO Conference in 2012. It was out of my control and even locked itself in reverse and went backwards.

 There must be thousands of us abductees, yet governments won't admit it. Now that I am older, it is beginning to affect my health. I don't bounce back from those "flights" as well as I used to

Time is Created by Us

 Professor Dr. Wubbo J. Ockels is a Dutch physicist, and also the Netherlands original astronaut. He is a Professor of Aerospace Sustainable Engineering and Technology at the University of Delft, and tries to stimulate a mentality change among Dutch citizens. In his mind-bending TEDxAmsterdam talk, Ockels explains how, “Time is created by human beings, as a way our brains can make sense of gravity. The speed of light is constant, because it is made by us: it’s the clock by which we have calibrated our existence. Based on this premise, Ockels proposes a new way to explore life in our galaxy.”

With a different gravity the aliens have a different time and we don’t see each other.

Earth is unique since most of the universe is space.

Note: It appears the astronaut is aware of time travel by extraterrestrials. Our measurement of the speed of light is based on our time. It may be different in alien time.

Three Humongous Triangular UFOs

Meadowlands, NJ -- Rosalba Emmanuel-King writes, Dear George thank you sooo much for your web site I love it and look forward to reading it every time u send it. 

Having seen three humongous triangular UFOs myself I look forward to your emails for years now. It was in 1994, that I witnessed three tremendous UFOs appearing thru a clear blue July sky. A part of the triangle showed then the entire thing appeared three times. All three triangles showed up in formation then suddenly turned on an angle and disappeared from site. I was at the Meadowlands horse stables in the middle of the afternoon rollerblading. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. They were larger that the stadiums there grey with a light on each corner red yellow green. They had a grid underneath them like Star Wars. I haven’t been the same since. I know they’re out there.

I also had an out of body experience in 1979. I must have died and came out of my body as a ghost like transparent version of myself. I could still see and hear only I was transparent. I know your daughters are still living only in a different form. They must be sooo proud of you. 

One time in 1993, I flat lined on an operating table. I woke up and the nurse told me they thought they lost me. I told her I had seen Jesus in a dream. We were in a cold climate like Himalayas with mountains. He put His arm beckoning me to come to him. He was in front of what looked to me like a crowd of people from that area. There was a river he wanted me to cross but that's when I woke up and was revived.  I'm not crazy I'm a college professor for 30 years. I just wanted you to know that there is much more to this life than we know. Keep the faith and you will see your family again guaranteed. God Bless you.

Much love Rosalba Emmanuel-King.

Space Center Letter

 Dear George;

“Thank you for the ufo information, it is very interesting to me since I worked on space programs @ Astro space Center & NASA.

I have been very interested in space & ufo's, they are out there, and I am always looking out there for them. Happy 4th

of July to you also.

Anti Ballistic Missile Fails

Vandenberg Air Force Base, California (Reuters / Gene Blevins)

A $214-million test launch of the only US defense against long-range ballistic missile attacks failed to hit its target over the Pacific Ocean, according to the Missile Defense Agency. There have been no successful interceptor tests since 2008.

In Friday's test, a ground-based interceptor missile was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and was expected to hit its target – a missile launched 4,000 miles away from the Kwajalein Atoll.

It’s the third consecutive failure involving the interceptor system managed by Boeing Co.

The military has tested the so-called ground-based midcourse defense system sixteen times. It has succeeded eight times, with the last intercept in December 2008.

The recent failure comes several months after the Pentagon announced plans to spend $1 billion to add 14 new interceptors along the West Coast in response to threats from North Korea.

The US currently has 26 interceptors deployed at Fort Greely in Alaska and four at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The Obama administration plans 44 interceptors by 2017. 

“An intercept was not achieved,” the Defense Department said, we will conduct an “extensive review” to determine the cause of “any anomalies which may have prevented a successful intercept”.

Crop Circles

There are few mysteries more accessible than crop circles. Each spring and summer these enigmatic patterns appear overnight in crop fields, particularly around the Avebury landscape temple in Wiltshire, England. We have access to the information network that provides breaking news on the latest formations and where possible we enter these beautiful creations within hours of their forming, when the energy of a genuine formation is at its strongest. Cosmic works of art, ET communications in sacred geometric format, or a warning voice from Gaia, whatever your opinion crop circles are fascinating and truly remarkable.

This part of England is also home to some of the world’s most powerful ancient sacred sites including Stonehenge, Avebury and Glastonbury. We will take time to truly experience these places of power including private access to Stonehenge. Being based close to the World Heritage Site of Avebury Landscape Temple we have daily access to such sites as Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow and the Sanctuary. In historic Glastonbury we will visit the Abbey, Chalice Well and Tor.

We’re also offering a pre-tour extension to the prestigious Summer Crop Circle Lectures where you will hear fascinating presentations and meet the presenters as well as all the other ardent ‘croppies’. A great time is had by all!. Thanks to newsletter@greatmystery.org

UFO/UAP Symposium Was Held in Greensboro, North Carolina

 The 2013 UFO/UAP Symposium was held in Greensboro, North Carolina on June 29^th and 30^th.  Kent Senter, co-founder of MUFON-North Carolina, and Journalist and UFO Researcher, Leslie Kean, arranged the symposium.  They provided attendees with a guest speaker list comprised of various experts and government officials from the USA, France, England, Belgium and Chile who provided an academic approach to the longstanding problem of what the human race needs to do about the UFO problem and its current and future impact on Earth.  The symposium included discussions on the need to set up a government agency designed to study UFOs and devise a method for detecting them on a large scale and making their findings available to the public.  It was noted that other countries have set up official agencies to study the problem.  The tone of the meeting was serious.  No vendors were in attendance and media were asked to give due respect to the symposium and not minimize the seriousness of the symposium in their reports to the public. 

 The guest speakers included General Wilfried de Brouwer, Dr. Richard Haines, Leslie Kean, Jose Lay, Dr. Alexander Wendt, Colonel Charles Halt, Xavier Passot, Dr. Ron Westrum, Timothy Good, Nancy Talbot and Dr. Jeffrey Bennet. Among this group were scientists, professors, pilots, a journalist, writers, field investigators and high-ranking military officials.  The symposium was recorded and DVDs are expected to be made available through the Center for UFO Research www.cufornc.com.

Sightings in the United States

California Orb

DANA POINT -- My girlfriend and I were sitting on my deck chatting 500 feet from the Pacific Ocean on July 5, 2013 when we saw a very bright gold light. It was an overcast night. We knew immediately it was not a commercial aircraft. The light was extremely bright and after several seconds over viewing it, a second light of the same color appeared to the right of it. The two lights appeared to come closer to our location but it would stop and hover. There was no sound. The two lights then turned into a row of several angled lights (4-6). It appeared to us the object was banking and flying in a higher altitude. It was soundless and the lights began blinking until it simply went dark. We both took pictures with our cell phones. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 San Leandro -- The bright light was coming over the horizon from Half Moon Bay Mountains. The light hovered there for 30 minutes. Then reduced in size and started floating to the left very slowly then disappeared. I watch planes take off and land every day. The next day I saw another one but it floated closer to where I was and I was able to show my son and it was huge I sent the footage and I have a lot more doing some crazy things. The objects seem to disappear into thin air after a while.

Illinois Orange Orb

FRANKFORT -- Sitting on front porch, facing east on July 2, 2013, I saw a very bright object.
There were no other objects or clouds in the sky.

The object moved SE to NE, passing behind trees.

Elapsed time from first sight until disappearance was two minutes. It traveled horizontally and got progressively smaller and appeared to vanish in NE sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana White Cylinders

Blanford – Richard Bondira writes, “On the evening of July 3, 2013, at 10:30 PM, I took the following photos. What is good is that I was able to follow the UFO, observe it, and take these photos all at the same time. There are also buildings and telephone poles, etc. by which size and distance might be judged. I first saw the UFO while I was in the parking lot at the local Wal-Mart on the west side of Clinton, Indiana which is six miles east of Blanford, where I live.”

The object moved from west to east. By the time it got to the east end of town it changed color from white to orange. The sky had grown darker with the last of the twilight's last gleaming. That might account for the color change. The photos showing the UFO orange in color were taken when I was in the parking lot for the Chateau Apartments on the east end of town. The thing kept going east until out of sight. The last three photos are blurry from being enlarged.

Take care. Richard   Bondira

 Jasonville – On July 6th, 2013 during the annual local fireworks display I noticed a yellowish glowing object coming in from the West of the fireworks display. I had thought it was fireworks but it was descending then leveling off.

I didn’t say anything about it at the time, but upon reviewing the video clips I was surprises to have captured it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kansas Odd Object

 Coffeville – On July 8, 2013, at 8:55 pm, I was taking out garbage when a large grey object caught my eyes.  I thought it was a balloon but there was a dead calm, just a steady straight flight path. I ran back into my house and grabbed a camera to take this photo.

Flight was straight north ran to back of house to get more pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Light

Calvert City -- Was watching Town Fireworks Display at 9 PM and noticed this very bright object that was definitely not Fireworks related. It had a flight path and came in from the west and circled the area, then flew back and I observed it until it was out of sight. It was circular in shape, although not a perfect circle. It glowed a very bright orange which pulsated to a very bright red aura around it. I did not mention it to anyone else because I was afraid that they would think I saw Fireworks and was mistaken. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maine Bullet

west paris -- I walked outside and looked up in the sky and noticed this bullet shape object flying in the clouds. I went in to get my camera, took a picture and it disappeared. I came back inside and then went back outside and in the same spot I saw the other one. This one was way bigger and I knew I could get some pictures of it.

So I ran inside got my camera and this is what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maryland

 Ellicot City -- Earlier in May, my mother heard about the Balloon Glow and suggested that we go check it out. On the 17th, we drove out to Howard Co and I took my photographs at 9-10 PM. I was working on my last set: a hot-air balloon was floating up into the night sky, when I saw a rotating, flashing light. It reminded me of one of those light up toys you can buy at the circus where lights flash off and on, spinning quickly in a circle.-I had no idea what it was, but I fired a few photographs off. The balloon sailed down and landed, but the lit object in the sky was gone.

In the next few days, I set up Adobe Photoshop and began fixing up a few photographs.  I brightened the one in question, a shape became visible. The object has a definite shape, the classical UFO look. I brought my Mom over to check the files and she seemed as stunned as I am. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nebraska Moving Objects

OMAHA -- Watching fireworks on July 4, 2013, I noticed strange objects appearing over another apartment complex. They were appearing and then wouldn’t for a couple of minutes. I was able to record a video of the objects moving fast left to right and shoot a couple of pictures, but it was just weird. At one point a small does appear near them. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Black Object

 Rumson -- On July 3, 2013, I had my second sighting in four days just a few miles near the Atlantic Highlands.

While driving in a car talking to my friend about the first sighting, they appeared again. This time a dark object was photographed.

Should have stopped car but we were in shock.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Reddish Orange Fog Cloud

Elizabeth city -- My wife and I were outside on the deck watching the thunderstorm approach on June 29, 2013. Out of nowhere a reddish orange fog or cloud appeared. It started out dull in brightness but soon got brighter and brighter and was in my opinion roughly 10 to 15 miles away. As it was becoming brighter it was making its way towards our direction from the southwest. It was roughly 1/4 of a mile from us.

This event lasted roughly 10 minutes and it gave my wife and I a strong feeling of eeriness as it was making progress towards us and becoming bigger and bigger. The weird thing is we never saw a distinct detailed craft, we only saw a glowing fog or cloud that seemed to have intelligent control. This dense fog or cloud just dissipated after getting that close to us and it took roughly 2-3 seconds for it to disappear. If anything has any idea what this was please add on your opinion. Also there was no noise only a creepy feeling. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Raleigh – Moving orange lights were observed around 10:00 pm EST on July 4th.

 Thanks to Frank Chilli

Ohio Cylinder

 Strongsville -- Julie Semon writes, “Here are some pictures taken this week by my step-daughter just before a 4th of July celebration.”

Best regards, Julie Semon

Pennsylvania Orange Lights and Disk

Pittsburgh – I was downtown on "South Shore" for fireworks of July 4^th and were leaving Station Square on the waterfront when the lights came into view. The lights were over the hills to the east/southeast while the fireworks had been set off in the West. I observed a "string" of yellow/orange/red lights with a cluster of lights at one end. I took many pictures with the camera in my phone and told my family to look up. They also saw the moving lights descend behind the hills except a few as I walked and stopped.

The cluster disappeared and only a couple remained and seemed smaller. The last observation I made was of a triangle shape of three lights moving north. The triangle passed overhead with three lights moving slow as if attached to a structure. I could not see any body of a craft, just dark between the lights. No stars were visible lights were enlarged. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 WEST LAWN -- I was outside in my backyard and was engaged cooking on my grill. Sitting down on my swing facing South I noticed a small silver dot flying at high altitude from the South at not a greater speed than an aircraft but on a course not noticed on normal flight path of general jet aircraft routinely flying at that altitude. As the unknown was heading toward my position it slowed and hovered. I let my wife know and got a camera. I was able to get photos of the object, some are impressive by any standard, and I cropped the image and got a shape of what was witnessed but not close enough for true detail. Approximately 3 minutes after 33 photos were taken the object went west slowly at first then gained speed faster than any conventional aircraft I have ever witnessed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

South Carolina Lights

MYRTLE BEACH -- While working as a private security contractor at an apartment complex along Burcale Road on July 3, 2013, I was talking to a colleague when I observed four brilliantly lit objects moving northwest. I asked my colleague if he was seeing the same objects and he stated yes he saw them also. 

The objects appeared orb like and had a brilliant white light that appeared to turn amber along the very outer edge of the light then would go back to white light. 

There was no sound associated with the objects and they moved much slower than an aircraft. Their track took them through, what I know to be the flight path for incoming aircraft into Myrtle Beach International airport.  My first thought was they were aircraft, flying dangerously close to each other, with very bright landing lights. But their path was towards Conway, SC and away from the airport.

My colleague and I moved closer and tried to take a picture. I could see that there were now only three objects. I snapped the picture.  It fell straight down and was trailing what he called "sparks."  My colleague and I are both veterans and both stated that the objects resembled a star cluster flare, used by U. S. military aircraft.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Green Orbs

At 9:13 PM, I noticed a flashing white and blue orb for about 32 seconds on July 4, 2013, then kept seeing two green orbs flying somewhat side by side for about four minutes. I was watching the orchestra perform and spotted them overhead.

Since I have had two other UFO sightings, I immediately knew there were UFOs. The green orbs were moving very randomly everywhere until they disappeared. The blue and white flashing orb was flashing very rapidly and was not flashing in any sequence. Since I have seen UFOs before I was not frightened or disturbed in any way. I lost the green orbs as they departed west into the treetops. I lost the orb when it disappeared into the trees Thanks to MUFON CMS

Vermont Cylinders

BENNINGTON – I was at Somerset National Forest sitting in a chair watching the sun come up on June 31, 2013, when over a river I noticed the objects. They were hovering over the river just a stone’s throw away. They would move up and down, sideways, and sat there for about a half hour until I realized I should take some pictures. I reached in the camper and grabbed my camera and sat back down in my chair and started to take pictures. I took 20 pictures and then got up and walked to the edge of the river and took more pictures. I have zoomed on my camera and many pictures are of when I zoomed.

At one point one of them raised up a little and came in my direction. I got the feeling it was looking me over but I heard no noise and saw no emissions. I was not scared at all just curious. I am 68 years old and took about 38 pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Reports

 Australia Three Triangles

Port Macquarie --After leaving Coles convenience store at 18:30 on June 4, 2013, with two of my roommates in their car, my female roommate saw two red lights and one brighter white light in a triangular formation hovering in the dark near the airport and Hastings River Drive. I then looked as it moved up and over until it was upside down. We then entered the roundabout and lost sight of the lights.

Heading up Widerson Street I spotted the triangle lights lower and closer to us, almost as if following behind us. Panic kicked in so my female roommate and I stopped looking.

We arrived home and ten minutes later my female roommate peered out the curtain of a window facing west and again the triangle lights hovering low were 75 meters away. The three of us saw it. I got out my phone to capture the UFO on camera it had vanished.

All three of us have spiritual beliefs close to spiritualist. The night before we witnessed the UFO I had an extremely lucid dream with white light pouring from the windows and a tall and 'lanky' grey being entered my room. I felt no fear just excitement and curiosity as it approached. It seemed to communicate without sound. I conversed with it for what seemed like hours before it left.

The dream then speed forwards to the next night. My mother was now also in the house with me as the light poured in the windows. My mother was scared for my safety as I walked outside into the light and conversed with the same entity outside and introduced my mother to my friend.

Canada Lights

SHAW -- I took shots of the rainbow, and then noticed there were odd orbs hovering around on August 2008. The first shot has two orbs above the rainbow; the second has one down by the lower left as always, silent.

I didn't notice them till I looked at the photos...it wasn't raining or anything, so they're not water, and I doubt their planets.

Thanks to Dana Fitzgerald

COBOURG -- This is quite interesting confirming a couple points There is certainly a wide spread presence here in southern Ontario near Lake Ontario. These have been only night time sightings of slow bright white lights. Most have been captured with the aid of photographic evidence. While at some friends visiting in Cobourg, I met another Experiencer and we noticed a strange slow light heading east. I pulled out my camera as it stopped – then instantly moved on. This light was captured on June 30, 2013, at 12:48 am. We observed a LARGE breath taking white -amber meteor coming down on an angle from northwest and a clicking sound near the house.

It just keeps coming showing no signs in slowing down. Enjoy Paul Shishis

China Orbs and Cigar

Am I the only person who looks into the sky in China? I know what a planes

 Chinese lantern looks like......I should do, I live in China. In the last six months I have seen 3 red orbs 1 cigar shaped UFO and a silvery grey orb that was quite low. Tonight, Tuesday at 9pm I saw a light going over Shanghai although this one seemed to be very high and I know it was not a shooting star as it moved quite slowly. I think the only thing I can do is spend a bit of time with my video camera in the evenings and record some of these things.

Best regards, Paul Clemit

Puget-Theniers -- Ufo behind my camera on solar halo on June 2, 2013, at 12:55 PM
Today, I have a lunch with my family. Suddenly, I saw a huge halo around the sun, inside the halo, the sky was gray, but around the halo, the sky was perfect blue. And the halo was perfectly in circle around the sun! 

In front of this spectacle, I took my camera and I took two photos. One at 12:54 pm, and the second at 12:55 pm. At first, I did not see it, but when I looked at the photography, I can SEE what seems like an UFO. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Germany Light

Berlin – On June 14. 2013, at 11 pm, I saw an object that looked like a satellite in the sky moving south / southeast. I made a few steps from of my car to follow its way across the horizon, then the light made two little moves on its way to the east and I had to change my viewpoint to follow its way to the horizon. Then it made a little curve correction to the west and then again to the east and I had to make a step more to follow it until it reached the horizon above some roofs.

This light was looking bright like a satellite in a really dark sky. The sky above Berlin was gray at this time. I realized that it changed in a second. This wasn't a satellite or a plane and was silent. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Israel Light

Hebron -- My friend and I were going to from Kiryat Araba to deliver pizza like usual on June 3, 2013. I was in the passenger seat when we saw the orange and red light in the sky above us to the left. There were twenty orange red lights in the sky. We saw it for about 15 minutes then it was gone! Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

New Zealand Worms

Richard L Pinfold South Pacific Research writes, “For those who are following the “Worm phenomena” on this excellent site: view the clip on YouTube….titled “Cloaked UFO, Italy”, from  street view…you are looking at part of what this gigantic entity repeats each time it manifests itself  to the human eye… In this screen capture, you are only seeing one quarter of what is happening…namely the gigantic “extremely fat warty marshmallow contrail-like arched column”… They are in fact the culmination of snail eye stalk-like object that erupts from “the main body”… They start off thin, and then over about 30 seconds, “swell” to enormous thickness. Then hang statically for a further amount of time, before the total object suddenly” relocates” in my observation, 20 ms in two seconds…. These are NOT contrails, but remnants of the original vision. Look closely at where the ends terminate and you will detect a foggy/misty boundary, this is where the main “Body “is hidden… Can’t define it here, but I stood right under it’s “leading edge”, looking up its side… Richard L Pinfold, New Zealand.

Romania Orange Orbs

Vaslui-- I want to share with you an experience I had on 29th to 30th June 2013, at 2 am. I saw on the wall a glow and got out of my bed and went to the window to see where the light was coming from. There were two ambulances across the street. I looked up to the sky and I saw a lot of bright lights, too bright to be stars. I clearly saw 15 bright globes standing next to each other with no precise disposal.

I took the camera quickly and started to shoot. My hands were shaking. They started to move slowly in groups of 3 to 4 silently while the others remained in place. Some moved parallel to my building; others went above it and disappeared. I saw clearly one that was clearly an ovoid ship's shape in a light color.

They were so beautiful, so bright! Unfortunately, my shooting wasn’t very precise for about 15 minutes. When I downloaded the movie to my computer I noticed they were red and flashing, but in reality their light was very bright and stable. Here’s the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5B1JV8691s&feature=youtu.be

That morning I was astonished to find out that my boyfriend had heard a whizzing sound, in his head that was a way for extraterrestrial beings to communicate.

UK England Triangle

 Hull – On July 2, 2013, at 1.32 AM, July 2 2013 I was in my garden waiting for my dog to go about its business before bedtime. So while I waited I looked up towards the stars and noticed what I believed was a satellite moving North when all of a sudden I saw a large black triangle with three fuzzy red lights on each corner pass over my house silently.
 Even my dog didn’t raise his head. The triangle was transparent and the stars could be seen through it. If I was to guess the objects size I would probably be wrong, but it was close enough and large enough to see its shape and lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Conferences

Francois Louange, Ph.D – MUFON’s Keynote Speaker was born in Versailles in 1945. After scientific  studies in Grenoble, he qualified as a Doctor-Engineer (Ph.D.) in signal processing, in 1968. He joined the European Space Agency, where he worked on satellite data processing. In 1977, the French Space Agency created a department in charge of collecting and analyzing data about Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena. After a few promising years, its resources decreased. In 2001, under pressure to stop this “borderline” activity. Dr. Louange was brought in to audit

the research and that resulted in the creation of a new department in 2005. The GEIPAN is now working under control of a Steering Committee and with support from several external groups. Most data are collected through official channels and, after analysis; cases are sorted into categories and published on the Internet. As a consultant to GEIPAN, Dr. Louange built up an analysis methodology through the development of a dedicated software ( www.ipaco.fr), derived from an established image intelligence operational tool. www.MUFONsymposium.com

Earth: Did We Have Binary Moons? by Diane Tessman. Did Earth have two moons in ancient times? Mars has two mysterious moons, Phobos and Diemos, both of which seem to be mostly hollow; there has been much speculation that one or both of these Martian moons is artificially made by an alien race. There have been similar theories stating that our moon is hollow and “rings” (reverberates) when impacted. Now there is new information about our moon: It might have had a companion moon millions of years ago. More... Also read: Are Aliens Part of God’s Domain?

Witness Discusses 1997 Sighting in Argentina by Scott Corrales. “When I read Mrs. Angela de Ponce’s letter to El Tribuno on 27 June, I decided to tell my own story,” said Roberto Moreira, a retired carbonated beverages worker who lives in the town of Mariano Moreno. “It’s true. When people hear the story, they laugh or don’t think it’s true. But I would be willing to place my hand on the Bible for what I’m going to tell you. I am not going to lie to God. More...

Are Flying Buildings the New UFOs? by Chris Holly. A few years ago I wrote about the reports I was being sent from people all over the world telling me that they had the strangest of strange sightings. The people were reporting large floating or flying buildings. The reports I was receiving were similar in the fact that the craft or structure they were seeing were rectangle in shape, slow in movement and silent as they made their way across the sky. More...

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.

UFOs, Vikings and BigFoots Part V by Doc Vega. The Ibn Fadian manuscript has been the subject of much study, the tracing of its authenticity through history, and careful scrutiny by scholars of universities in many countries make it a precious record. It survives the ages as one of the most compelling first hand accounts of ancient civilizations and even very good evidence that the Neanderthal supposedly cousins of man still survived in a tribe in 928 A.D. Despite the widespread dominance of modern man this manuscript holds evidence that one particular holdout of Neanderthals not only existed in a war-like society, but actually raided human beings much like the Vikings raided our ancestors on the coasts of Great Britain.

I have been a UFO, paranormal, strange phenomena researcher and investigator for decades, having had many experiences in this genre from sightings of many strange objects; a Sasquatch sighting, aura visions, and a vast array of paranormal encounters of my own. As far as the extraterrestrial experience in general and abductions as they are called in particular goes, I find that many in this business are misguided. They make fantastic claims for personal monitory gains, come to the table with preordained ideas which are clouded by their personal belief systems, and above all a lack of understanding of the visitor phenomena.

Subject: Re: Dr. Clarke, I Neither Confirm Nor Den
Hi Nick:

Thanks for your additional comments. However, I heard from a source that the number one category of FOIA request was actually personnel records requests.  

I suppose the info you provided can't be share with other interested parties?

Kind regards.

Op 05 Jul 2013, om 09:24 heeft Nick Pope het volgende geschreven:

André,

A couple of factual corrections to Billy Cox's article:

1. Dave Clarke is most certainly not a professor. He's what Americans would call a lecturer at a Community College (UK "polytechnics" like the one where he teaches won the right to call themselves universities many years ago).

2. Clarke was one of literally hundreds of people making FOI requests to the MoD about UFOs in the run-up to the decision to release the files. Writing in 2006, Under Secretary of State for Defense Tom Watson said:

“There is a real and enduring interest in Unidentified Flying Objects. By far the most popular topic of FOI requests has been UFOs, followed by recruitment enquiries, enquiries from staff, and historical events such as World War Two, the Falklands conflict and the Balkans. Recent freedom of information releases on UFOs have attracted media interest from as far away as Japan.”

This is what led the MoD to decide to transfer its UFO files to the National Archives and if Clarke is claiming the credit for this, he's either being dishonest or incredibly naïve.

Best wishes,

Nick Pope

========================================
Subject: Dr. Clarke, I Neither Confirm Nor Deny!

http://devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/13814/were-done-here-now-go-away/

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?
