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

The Rendlesham Forest Incident - Official Website "I've gone on
record saying Rendlesham might be the turning point in history that leads to the
explanation of the UFO phenomenon" -Nick Pope, Directorate of Defence Security,
Ministry of Defence
, also known as 'Britain's Roswell', is undoubtedly one
of the best documented and most significant military encounters with a Craft of
Unknown Origin or UFO. It is also a case that involved very credible witnesses,
trained (USAF) United States Air Force observers and security
police.
The incident spanned three days in 1980. Rendlesham
Forest is a large pine forest, east of Ipswich, in Suffolk, England. Nearby are
the twin NATO air bases, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge; at the time both
bases were being leased to the United States Air Force. Several UFO incidents,
including multiple-witness sightings by military personnel, ground traces, and
radioactive anomalies were reported from Rendlesham forest.
According to
USAF security patrolmen on duty, "the object was described as being metallic in
appearance and triangular in shape, approx. 2-3 meters across the base... it
illuminated the entire forest with a white light, and had a pulsing red light on
top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath." In November, 2002, the British
Ministry of Defense released the "Rendlesham File" of documents related to and
confirming the Rendlesham Forest incident.
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 and help for CEOs to
successfully run their companies.
In special reports, this weeks files cover: New Royal Baby is
Prince George, Prince Phillip Has Interest in UFOs,
Helen Thomas UFO Advocate Dies, Astronaut Mitchell
UFOs are Real, UFO from International Space Station,
Oceans and Structures on Mars, Advanced Space
Research, At UFO symposium, participants urge open-mindedness, and Listen to

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: California,
Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, Columbia,
Kazakhstan, Mexico, Romania, Singapore, and England in the United Kingdom.
The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video
evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files
assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis
is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically
advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became
interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England
while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal
interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years
under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the
God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting
us in ever-increasing numbers.
Filers Files are now being emailed to 20,000 + addresses each week plus 500
copies are forwarded to more thousands. Consider forwarding them to your friends
and neighbors.

Special Reports
New Royal Baby is Named Prince
George
Prince William and Kate Middleton
officially announced the name of their newborn son, who is now third in line to
the throne.
An official statement said the baby, born
Monday, would be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. His
full name is George Alexander Louis.
His family will undoubtedly teach him
about the UFO phenomena...
Prince Phillip Has Interest in
UFOs
While stationed in England in the US Air Force after intercepting a
UFO, I had the privilege of dining with Prince Phillip, the husband of the
Queen, and the Duke of Edinburgh at Sculthorpe RAF Base. He told five of us
officers about his keen interest in UFOs and that some of his relatives had seen
them. He reiterated what he had stated much earlier in the press,
`There are many reasons to believe that they (UFOs) do exist. There
is so much evidence from reliable witnesses.' Sunday Dispatch,
London. March 28, 1954. He was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet, Field Marshal
of the Army, and Marshal of the Royal Air Force. Prince Philip achieved 5,986
hours in 59 types of aircraft. He was interested in our intercept of a large UFO
over the United Kingdom. Prince Philip was a long time subscriber to
Flying Saucer Review magazine.
In his fascinating autobiography, "Sounds From
Another Room", Sir Peter Horsley who was equerry (advisor) to Her
Majesty the Queen and Prince Phillip for seven years devotes a lengthy chapter
to the subject of UFOs, including details of his investigations into sightings
reported by pilots; details which he relayed to Prince Phillip. Horsley claims
he met with an extraterrestrial humanoid who wanted to meet with Prince Philip.
Air Marshal Sir Peter Horsley, former Deputy Commander in Chief of Strike
Command, a war hero who flew Mosquitoes against the Germans, who has held one of
the highest ranks in the RAF. The top RAF generals such as General Martin
believed that flying saucers were extraterrestrial vehicles from another planet
whose inhabitants were trying to warn us of the perils of nuclear war.
Although it may seem surprising that a member of the royal family would have
an interest in UFOs, Prince Philip is not the first. In fact his uncle, Lord
Mountbatten, had similar interests.
Prince Philip told us that, his uncle who raised him, Admiral Earl
Mountbatten who became First Sea Lord Admiral of the British Fleet the
highest rank in the Royal Navy from 1954 until 1959 was Commander of the
Mediterranean Fleet in the 50s had personally seen UFOs up close.
Mountbatten shown here with President Kennedy was one of the three Supreme
Allied Commanders of World War II (the others were Eisenhower and MacArthur)
with a quarter million personnel under his direct command. Later he was the last
Viceroy of India, who orchestrated its independence from England. Mountbatten
had a keen interest in UFOs and likely discussed UFOs with the President.
In a biography by Philip Ziegler in 1985, he wrote [We were] both
convinced that they come from another planet but we mutually and independently
came to the conclusion that they were not 'aeroplanes' with silly little almost
human pilots but are themselves the actual inhabitants: Martians, Venusians,
Jupiterians or what have you. Why should life in another planet with entirely
different conditions in any way resemble life on our planet?
In 1955 Lord Mountbatten investigated a UFO incident in his own back yard,
literally, that put his theory to the test.
In Timothy Good's great book, Above
Top Secret, there is a report written by Mountbatten on his
investigation of a sighting on the grounds of his Broadlands Estates. Frederick
Briggs, a retired British Army Sergeant, was working on the grounds, when he
says he saw a large craft that looked like a child's top hovering over a field.
He says a column came down from the center of the craft, and there appeared to
be a humanoid figure descending with the pillar. Mountbatten states he
personally interviewed Mr. Briggs and "hedid not give the
impression of being the sort of man who would be subject to hallucinations, or
would in any way invent such a story." Thanks to Open Minds.tv
Helen Thomas UFO Advocate Dies
WASHINGTON DC --
Legendary Trailblazing White House journalist Helen Thomas has died at age 92
years of age. She sat in the front row center at White House press conferences
and covered ten presidents over nearly half a century. She became a legend in
the industry and often exasperated government spokesmen and presidents with her
pointed questions.
I had long talks with her on several occasions about UFOs and told me she
would do everything she could to get the true story about UFOs and our visitors
out to the public. She confided she wrote stories but her editors cut them
before they are published.
Thomas began covering the White House for United Press
International when John F. Kennedy became president in 1961 and was a fixture
there until her retirement in 2010. She was the longest-serving White House
journalist.NASA Astronaut Scott Carpenter had
confided,
"At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone:
there was a constant surveillance by
UFOs." A great and kind lady passed
away after a long illness. She told me she was working behind the scene s to get
others in her field to acknowledge UFOs exist. Read
more: http://www.disclose.tv/forum/rip-helen-thomas-t85441.html#ixzz2ZnCnJBJN
President Barack Obama said that it was "not just the length of
her tenure, but her fierce belief that our democracy works best when we ask
tough questions and hold our leaders to account," that put her in high
esteem. In a written statement, Obama called Thomas a
"truepioneer" and said she kept the
presidents she covered -- including himself -- on their toes.
UFO enthusiasts have received a lot of encouragement in recent evidence of an
ancient UFO
sighting reported by Chinese medieval scientist Shen Kuo, as well as an
affirming interview with moonwalker Edgar Mitchell that attests to his beliefs
in extraterrestrial life.
And to this day, the topic of alien life and UFO sightings
are on the tip of people's minds, including Edgar Mitchell, who spoke of his
convictions in the belief of alien life as well as UFOs, citing the Roswell
incident as a prime example.
"After my space flight, I was contacted by descendants of the
original Roswell observers, including the person who delivered the child-sized
coffins to the Air Force to contain alien bodies. Another was one of the
children of the deputy sheriff who was patrolling traffic around the
site," said Mitchell during a Bloomberg interview.
"They all seemed credible with their stories that the bodies
found were alien."
And what does the Apollo 14 pilot think are the reasons behind a
potential cover-up?
"Think of what that could mean in terms of space travel with
control of UFO machinery, technology. There's a lot of money
involved."
UFO from International
Space Station
Location of sighting: International Space Station, Earths Orbit
This amazing catch was caught on live NASA web cam this week. The cam has
literally caught hundreds maybe a thousand or more UFOs over the years. This is
a very strange yellow craft. Around the craft we see the typical blur like mist
that UFOs are famous for. This mist is believed to be caused by the crafts
propulsion system. If you want to check out the NASA cam, the link is below, you
might get lucky.

Scientists have spotted more evidence that an
enormous ocean on Mars covered much of the planet's surface billions of years
ago. The latest clues were found in photos from NASA's Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter circling the planet. The images show what appears to be
an ancient river delta, which may have emptied into a vast
Martian ocean that inundated up to one-third of the Red
Planet long ago, a new study reports.
"Scientists have long hypothesized that the northern lowlands of Mars
are a dried-up ocean bottom, but no one yet has found the smoking gun," study
co-author Mike Lamb, an assistant professor of geology at the California
Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, said in a statement. The
small section of Aeolis Dorsa features many ridges called inverted channels,
which form in river bottoms over time when gravel is deposited by flowing water.
Inverted channels can linger long after the rivers that created them have
evaporated, helping researchers trace the past activity of liquid water
on Mars. [Photos:

Advanced Space Research
Mr. Tompkins has extensive experience in advanced space
research* involved in spacecraft and space missions. This has led to his
membership in the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), and he has done extensive research
into extraterrestrials and unidentified flying objects. He is preparing a
six-volume autobiographical study on the subject to be released soon to be
entitled Selected by Extraterrestrials. Regardless of your opinion of
the UFO phenomenon, Mr. Tompkins has attacked this subject with the same energy
and detail he put into building his fleet of model ships, so this highly
technical document should make for a very interesting read. Bill has also spent
47 years in the Navy League of California and Oregon.
*Mr. Tompkins technical experience is extensive. It includes four years
in naval intelligence studying extraterrestrial threats, twelve years as
engineering section chief at the Douglas Missile and Space Division, four years
as corporate director of North American Advanced Space Research, founder and
chairman of the Advanced Space Concept Staff at the think tank within the TRW
Space Systems, four years as program director of the 2020 advanced Anti-Sub
Warfare program and was a member of the corporate headquarters Red Team at
General Dynamics Corporation. He built this model of a spaceship.
UFO art on display at the annual Mutual UFO Network Symposium at the
JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort on Sunday morning. The green sculpture in the
foreground, entitled "Power", was created by amateur artist Michael Harley, who
said the work took several months to complete. Harley said the piece, which was
priced at $600, came from his imagination and was created out of porcelain
plates and LED lighting. The conference featured art from 10 different artists,
each with a unique spin on alien-inspired artwork.
It's easy to stereotype the sort of people who attended the
annual Mutual UFO Network Symposium in Las Vegas this weekend. After all, it
takes a special kind of person to travel to Las Vegas, fork over close to $250
and sit through dozens of speeches about faster-than-light travel, alien DNA
analysis, and 'new' information about 70-year-old alleged alien encounters.
But even though the topic matter seems a bit fantastical, and despite a
handful of alien-encounter zealots, a large number of conference attendees were
not the type of tinfoil-hat wearing crackpot conspiracy theorists that are often
associated with the field of ufology, the study of unidentified flying
objects.
In fact, many attendees, such as retired military medic Marc Johns, said the
reason for attending the conference and studying ufology stems from a desire to
use scientific methods and research to tie the subject to respected fields such
as astronomy and physics.
"There's an awful lot of people out there who aren't kooks who
are interested in this topic," Johns said. Johns, who traveled
from Chester, England, to attend the conference, said he was more attracted to
the open-mindedness of the symposium, and strongly disagreed with the sort of
blind faith found in straight-up alien believers and deniers. Johns said he was
much more interested in using science collecting hard data before making any
fantastical or otherworldly postulations.
Johns wasn't among the majority of conference attendees, however. Utah woman
Sandra Wood claimed that demonic beings traveling in flying discs had been
stalking her family and young daughter for several years, and that she was often
followed by government vehicles due to her husband's work in "exposing" UFO
truths.
Don Donderi, a retired university professor and conference speaker, gave an
hour long speech Sunday morning much along the same lines, partially skipping
over hard evidence on the actuality of alien existence, and jumping straight to
alien policy decisions. How, he asked, should aliens respect and follow Earth
treaties?
But jumping to such conclusions didn't sit well with 32-year old Sam Rux, an
elementary school teacher from New York City and first-time attendee. Rux, who
became interested in ufology as a child after seeing a friend's reaction to a
UFO at a summer camp, said he wanted to keep his mind open for any unexplained
phenomena whether it's strange weather patterns, government vehicles or actual
alien crafts.
Though Rux isn't as zealous about the existence of aliens as other attendees,
he said he enjoyed going to the conference because it provided a rare
opportunity to have open discussions and meet ufology authors. Again, he said
being open-minded helps when confronted with the wide range of theories and
speculation about UFOs. After all, Rux pointed out, it's a little
ridiculous to assume Earth is the only planet in the universe supporting
life.
"I think people should keep an open mind; there's a lot of things
about space we don't know," he said. "We're not that
unique."
MUFON, the nonprofit organization that organized the conference, is also
invested in keeping the study of ufology as scientific as possible. The group
has trained hundreds of volunteers on how to interview witnesses and file
reports for possible UFOs, requiring a test on a 300-page manual, according to
the
group's website. Open-mindedness plays a major role for attendees like Johns
and Rux, who both indicated the importance of remaining skeptical yet open to
discovering and understanding UFOs. "Don't be swayed by the media and
science-fiction and blind faith," Johns said. "Do your own
research. Thanks to the Las Vegas Sun.

streak was seen in the sky on June 16, 2013, as fighter aircraft moved through
the sky with contrails that would dissolve, then would reappear higher in the
sky and would then dissolve again.
Being familiar with all matter of aircraft it was unusual and simply
dissolved and was lost. Thanks to MUFON CMS
IndianaRed Fireball
Decatur -- I was sitting
on my porch watching my son and nephew when a red fireball, glowing orb suddenly
ascended from the horizon about a mile away on July 18, 2013. It stopped about
half way between the moon and the ground. A red, glowing ball hovered for a
little a bit and then sped up, heading southeast. Now it looks white and
cylindrical and gliding or floating. We continued to watch until disappeared. I
called my youngest son and nephew to look and they saw it. I ran to get my other
two sons and husband to see it.
My oldest son said it looks like a fireworks. My two sons and nephew
watched and started taking pictures with their cell phones. Although the
pictures does not quite show what we were witnessing, the iPhone showed white
bright streaks and the LG showed bright red and yellow lights in a saucer shape.

Kentucky Sightings
Glenn writes, I am contacting you in the hope you come to visit
my farm and witness for yourself what we have been observing nightly since
February 16, 2013. We were going to bed at around 1:30 am, and observed a very
low, extremely bright, twinkling star that started moving and came within 200
yards of our house. We observed it though a small pair of binoculars and noticed
it had red, blue, green, and yellow lights that blinked
randomly.
I became frightened for my family's safety and called 911,
naturally we were met with a scoffing skepticism. I never contacted any
Government agency or local Law enforcement again for fear of ridicule. Over the
following months our nightly sightings went from one UFO to four to 12, to as
many as 50-100 in and around our farm appearing just before dusk, and leaving
just before or right after dawn.
I bought an inexpensive Sony Digital Camcorder that has worked just fine;
most pictures are taken at night, but some during daylight hours. I currently
have over 14,000 pictures and videos. I found I could get better look at what
was behind the multi-colored lights with pictures instead of the several dozen
videos I have. We have documented at least four Motherships in our area nightly
that come down looking like a mass of green, yellow, and pinkish-red light.
These Motherships unload 100's of smaller flying saucer type craft. I have
pictures of them unloading the smaller craft and have observed them reloading in
the pre-dawn hour.
I have documented at least four types of saucer type craft, a triangular type
craft, a cylinder type craft, a batwing type craft, orbs, a rounded nose winged
type craft, and one that kind of looks like a pretzel. I have so many pictures
that I'm two months behind in cataloging them. Most people have a sighting or
two, if they are lucky, we have had nightly infestations of these UFOs for six
months and counting, if you want proof of UFO's you only need come here to get
it.
Ive pointed these UFO's out to several dozen important people. I see
pictures and craft sketches in your Filers Files that match what I see.
That's why I'm asking your help in documenting this live event and showing
the world that they do exist, I have many photos that show what appear to be
Extra-Terrestrials on some of these craft as well. Please help me Mr. Filer. The
case is under investigation by MUFON,
Idyllwild -- My 23 year old son went to
Idyllwild this weekend on July 15, 2013.
He sent this picture to me and I noticed this object that cannot be the sun
because the shadows of the sun do not face towards the viewer of the picture. I
thought I should send it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Object
HOLYOKE -- I was talking to my husband on
the telephone when I noticed anoblong objectapproaching and crossing the Connecticut River. The shape was different
from a plane and it made no sound and flew very slowly and hovered at times. I
ran out on our deck as it disappeared crossing silently over my house. The next
morning I noticed lots of dark burn marks on our new stone patio and shingles on
the roof. Someone in the Belchertown and Amherst reported seeing the object
earlier than my sighting. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken

picture at 1:30 AM, on July 15, 2013. She says that she went outside, and the
power went off, and she saw this. The location was in, NJ on County Line Road
near Lakehurst Naval Air Station and McGuire Air Force Base. They may have had
it on radar at that time? Thanks to DeTaranto,
Vernon, Sussex
-- On Canister Road there is Canister Reservoir with numerous
sightings of craft leaving the water and entering airline flight paths, then
speeding off into space from June 12, 2013 thru July. It looks like a large
pyramid shaped object with rough dark black outer surface coming out of the
water. Gray Ford F150's trucks with blacked out windows and no license plates
park alongside the road to watch. There seems to be an underwater base for the
craft located close to the Picatinny Arsenal. Note: There have been similar
reports from New Jersey reservoirs for fifty years.
Ohio Triangle Lights
Grove City-- We and some partygoers saw over one hundred lights on July 6, 2013
over Interstate 270. They were flying toward my position in Obetz. A triangle
moving in the same area looked like the Phoenix lights sighting. Many took
videos and reported what they had seen. I am very fresh in the sighting. I grew
up very close to an Air Force base and never saw anything this size. It was like
one giant piece of glass. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Pennsylvania Red
Spheres
JEANNETTE I was on the 11-7 shift at work on July 21,
2013, about 1:10 am we were sitting outside on break when I noticed a red sphere
appear over one of the buildings. This object was a solid red color that
appeared to be brighter. I got up to get a closer look as it traveled west to
northeast on a steady rise about tree level and disappeared in 30 seconds.
Then another red sphere appeared and one of the ladies on break saw this one
and said, What the hell is that? I said,
Thats why I got up to get a better look
at! We watched as it did the same thing. Thanks to MUFON

Texas Orb
CLEVELAND -- My
grandma and I were driving at night and saw a glowing object hovering over trees
on July 17, 2013. It looked like a star but it then glowed brighter and very
slowing moved in a straight path over the trees and then disappeared. I knew it
wasnt a star it seemed brighter and bigger. Even my grandma thought it was
unusual that it actually moved and disappeared over treetops. Thanks to

Virginia Disk
CHESAPEAKE Bay Bridge Tunnel -- While crossing the bridge
towards Norfolk, VA, I took this picture of a storm that was over the bay. We
entered the first tunnel and when we emerged; my husband noticed a black spot in
the sky. We took a couple pictures, but none turned out too well.
We
argued whether or not we thought it was getting smaller or not. We entered the
second tunnel and when we emerged it was gone. It wasn't until three nights
later while going through pictures that we noticed the object in the storm.

Washington Red
Orb
Bellingham -- At
about 10 PM, I was driving down a road towards the I-5 on-ramp when I saw a red
orb light that was five times bigger than a star in the southern sky on June 15,
2013. I immediately pulled off the road and grabbed my binoculars and viewed the
red orb light. There was a medium gray colored looking craft where the light had
been. It silently descended to 80 feet in front of me. It slowed at this point
to rotate around. I had a great view of its textured metal with a large rounded
front and a square rear area where two exhaust engine holes were (see sketch).
It was about the size of a large tall SUV. I didnt see any windows,
lights, or insignia. I felt some concern we might be its target, but then it
flew east into a parking area and then north as it dropped below the tree line.
With extreme precision it maneuvered itself down and executed perfect turns
avoiding electrical poles, wires and street lights.
We drove around
searching but could not find it. I went back four days later and discovered some
woods where the UFO appeared to land in a small clearing where the grass was
mashed down. I talked to neighbors who claimed their tv reception was
interrupted a bit that night. Thanks to MUFON CMS

waukesha -- I was outside grilling with
friends when I saw a rainbow on July 20, 2013. I took a photo and captured this
UFO.
I took several photos but only this one caught a photo of a UFO. All
photos have the same time stamp but only one has the ufo

Disc Dayton-- On July 19, 2013, I caught this UFO while
reviewing vacation pictures. Zoom in directly above the road. Note: This
object does not appear to be a bird, airplane or insect. It bears the
resemblance to a classic flying saucer with a slight protrusion on top. Analysis
indicates that the photo is authentic and not fabricated.
Murgon -- As we left the house of a friend I noticed
an unusual light in the sky that appeared to be hovering over on the other side
of a nearby hill on June 21, 2013. I showed my children and said
"There's a UFO" and they searched until locating it and agreed it
was an unidentified flying object. We watched for about two
minutes as the object appeared to hover, but may have been moving directly
toward us and was getting larger. I took three photos on my iPhone, but it was
so far away it was not visible on the screen. When I downloaded the photos to my
computer I saw alight two centimeters across and a few millimeters high. It was
at least a couple of kilometers away when it disappeared.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Glenroy, Victoria --
Inoticed a glowing light in the sky so I got
my binoculars to have a look on July 16, 2013. I saw a glowing white UFO and two
orbs flying around it. They joined up together, and after 15 minutes a plane
flew by the UFO. The UFO flew near the plane very fast for 30 seconds and then
returned to the same spot near my house. I was trying to take some photos as the
UFO flew in and out of the clouds, I felt it was playing with me I would wave it
to come out and it did. When I tried to take a photo it would go back in the
clouds, but I eventually got some photos and video. Thanks to MUFON

Lights
BOGOTA -- I was in the balcony of my apartment in the north of the
city when I went out to get some air on June 7, 2013.and see the view of the
city before I go to bed when I saw on the west of the city lights that swayed in
a pulsed on a disc that is bulging oval height of the structure of the ship was
wide and remained static for about 7 minutes and then disappeared. Ten oval
windows almost round fingertips. Registering to appreciate about 4 windows and
lights emit pulsed white, green, blue and red. The color of the light was
dazzling white ship. Thanks to MUFON CMS
KazakhstanBlinking Light
Astana -- We were watching TV when we saw
though the window some lights blinking on June 22, 2013, that at first we
thought was fireworks. But there was no noise and it did not stop blinking. It
was the shape of a big dark cloud with a blinking light. The blinking was random
inside the cloud and the cloud was moving steadily south. We noticed a second
cloud following and doing the same thing.
We took some pictures in the cell phone and videos with the tablet, but
nothing can be seen. The second cloud flew off and we noticed a third one
following the others. This time we got a green laser and pointed at it. Suddenly
the random lights stopped blinking as it flew off to the south.
These were big dark clouds with blinking random stars on them. Thanks to

Mexico Reddish
Light
Cabo San Lucas -- There is a yellowish, slightly reddish
star like object flashing in the clear sky filled with an array of stars on July
13, 2013 at 11 PM. The object is flying rather erratically in a small geographic
area: up, then down, to the left, to the left again, to the right, back down,
etc. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ovoid
Romania
Vaslui -- Anca was in bed and saw flashing
very bright red lights on the night of June 30th 2013. Their light was stable as
at first these ships were hovering and then, they started to move slowly in
groups of three or four while some remained in place. The ships seemed to be
red. I clearly saw one of the ships fly above my building silently and I tried
to take pictures.
They didn't make any sound. I don't know exactly at what distance was
the ship, but it was enough to see clearly the ship's shape. It was ovoid and
had a light color. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Singapore Craft
Singapore -- On 10 July 2013, at
about 6:53 pm, an unknown object was spotted floating at a rather high attitude
on a relatively clear day. The object seemed to reflect sunlight on its surface.
There was a smaller object around the bigger one but the smaller object could
not be seen with naked eyes. I found the object after reviewing the video file.
Video was shot with full optical zoom at 70 xs. The object disappears into a
cloud I waited five minutes, but the object did not re-appear. However, an
unknown craft was seen around the same area of the sky where the object was
earlier but my batteries were flat at that time. I could not see the
shape/color/structure of the craft (with my naked eyes) as it was a long
distance away. The craft disappeared after about 10 seconds. Thanks to

UK/England Sightings
LEEDS -- I had just returned home from a road trip with a
friend on July 15, 2013, and noticed a strange partial ring around the evening
sun. I took my wife up to the top floor of our home and looked out of the window
at the phenomenon and proceeded to take photos on my mobile phone (Samsung
Galaxy S2). Looking at the photos there appears to be two objects that looked to
be metallic and spherical. One looked to be a disk shaped solid metallic object.
We did not see or hear anything at the time and there is nothing on any of the
other pictures taken. Thanks to MUFON CMS
BARNETBY -- I have recorded some really good footage of a
UFO flying past on the M180 on July 9, 2013. I was videoing some flashing orbs
and when I viewed the video slower there was a UFO shooting past. It is really
good footage.
I slowed the video down but the objects speed and sheer oddness I cannot
explain. Also in the video are three tidy dots which made out to a giant
triangle. I took the photo at 12:35 PM, Tuesday afternoon driving towards
Immingham from Barnetby Top on Highway M180. In the first 10 seconds after the
blue lorry has gone past it flies past from left to right. Just let me know what
you think as Im quite bugged that it was broad daylight too.
Note: A bright object appears and then disappears in a few
frames of the video. I did not find the dots in the form of a triangle
referenced by the witness in his report. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

More unsettling military
UFO encountersby Doc Vega. There are many interconnecting
testimonies and documented incidents that tend to corroborate claims that an
actual deep underground military base (DUMB) is located near Dulce, New Mexico.
Aside for the decades long saga of cattle mutilations that forced ranchers like
the Gomez family to leave the business due to excessive losses of cattle, the
purported underground firefight between humans and alien entities reported by
Phil Schneider, a government geological expert, and numerous sightings made by
Native Americans living in the immediate area, more evidence continues to pour
in. More... Also read: More

Review of The Kendall Stoneby

Due to the nature of my own research, one of the aspects of The Kendall Stone
this reviewer found most interesting is; nearly everything about the story
contained within its pages has been documented as having already occurred, is
happening at the present moment, or is forecast by different people across our
World to occur; and most likely, in our own lifetimes. We can therefore
categorize this book not as a simple novel, but as faction: a cross between

Alien propulsion details
revealedby Warren Aston. Learning how ET travels to Earth from
the stars has always been one of Ufologys biggest mysteries. And since
extra-terrestrial craft began crashing - at least by the 1930s - discovering
these secrets has been a prime motive behind the military-industrial recovery of
crashed craft and attempts to back-engineer them. Most UFO researchers are
convinced that substantial progress has been made covertly in replicating these
craft, as famously indicated by Lockheed scientist Ben Richs 1993 comments to
the effect that the US now has the means to take ET home. More...

Hunt for alien spacecraft begins, as planet-spotting scientist
Geoff Marcy gets funding
Artist rendering of alien spaceship Photo: Ray Edgar
In the field of planet hunting, Geoff Marcy is a star. After all, the
astronomer at the University of California at Berkeley found nearly
three-quarters of the first 100 planets discovered outside our solar system. But
with the hobbled planet-hunting Kepler telescope having just about reached the
end of its useful life and reams of data from the mission still left
uninvestigated, Marcy began looking in June for more than just new planets. He's
sifting through the data to find alien spacecraft passing in front of distant
stars.
He's not kidding - and now he has the funding to do it.
If intelligent life is common in the galaxy,
"where is everybody?"
Last fall, the Templeton Foundation, a philanthropic organisation dedicated
to investigating what it calls the "big questions" - which, unsurprisingly,
include "Are we alone?" - awarded Marcy $US200,000 to pursue his search for
alien civilisations.
What astronomer Geoff Marcy doesn't hope to find: A Death Star Photo:
Wookieepedia
As far as Marcy, an official NASA researcher for the Kepler mission, is
concerned, that question has a clear answer: "The universe is simply too large
for there not to be another intelligent civilisation out there. Really, the
proper question is: 'How far away is our nearest intelligent neighbour?' They
could be 10 light-years, 100 light-years, a million light-years or more. We have
no idea."
Advertisement
To answer that question Marcy has begun to sift through the Kepler data and
to search the heavens for a galactic laser Internet that might be in use
somewhere out there. (More on that in a bit.)
Launched in 2009, Kepler was designed as a four-year mission to detect
planets - habitable or otherwise - around distant stars by measuring the dimming
of those stars as orbiting bodies pass in front of them. In May, a component of
the spacecraft designed to keep it pointing precisely failed, dealing a crushing
blow to Marcy and his colleagues who last year convinced NASA to extend funding
for the mission into 2016, which Marcy says would have allowed researchers to
further refine the number of known Earthlike planets in our galactic
neighbourhood.
"It's a heartbreaker," he says. "People are reacting a little bit as if a
close family member died. There's this combination of severe depression and
confusion, coupled with denial."
Successful so far
Kepler has been wildly successful in its four years. To date, it has found
132 exoplanets - that is, planets outside our solar system - and possibly 3216
more that await confirmation. Researchers have extrapolated from Kepler data
that our Milky Way galaxy alone contains at least 100 billion exoplanets, as
many planets as there are stars. Still, with the telescope - which is 40 million
miles from Earth - having collected data on 150,000 star systems, researchers
are only beginning to pick through all the information.
Marcy hopes that hiding within it will be hints about intelligent life
abroad. What if, say, the dimming of a star that Kepler observes is caused by
something even more fanciful than the passage of extrasolar planets? Something
synthetic, perhaps? Marcy admits that even he's not certain what he's looking
for.
"I do know that if I saw a star that winked out, then at some point it winked
back on again, then winked out for a long, long time and then blinked on again,
that that would be so weird," he says. "Obviously that wouldn't constitute the
detection of an advanced civilisation yet, but it would at least alert us that
follow-up observations are warranted."
Such an irregular pattern might signal the leisurely and unpredictable
passage of massive spacecraft in front of the star. But, perhaps more likely, it
might indicate the presence of a Dyson sphere, a mainstay of science fiction
first proposed by physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960.
The concept is simple. The energy needs of a civilisation a thousand or a
million years more advanced than our own would probably be vastly greater than
those of even the most profligate earthlings. The greatest source of energy in a
solar system is its star, and that energy could be captured by building a
massive structure tiled with solar panels enveloping the star - the ultimate
green jobs initiative.
Under the second law of thermodynamics, the structure would produce
incredible amounts of waste heat in the form of infrared radiation. In
September, a Penn State team led by astrophysics professor Jason Wright began
searching the sky for just that by combing through data from NASA's Wide-field
Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. The Penn State work is also being funded by
Templeton.
If Dyson spheres pop up in the data, Marcy thinks they would more likely
appear as a patchwork of solar panels rather than a solid sphere. Perhaps the
dimming of a star would be erratic or quasi-periodic, unlike the regular transit
of planets.
To detect such aberrant dimming patterns, Marcy's Templeton grant is funding
the salary of a Berkeley student to write software that will chew through the
Kepler data."Writing the computer code is not easy," Marcy says. "There's no
prescription in any computer science book about how to search for aliens."
Galactic laser internet
The rest of the $200,000 grant is buying Marcy time on the Keck Observatory
in Hawaii, the largest telescope in the world, to search for - what else? - a
galactic laser internet.
While the movie Contact, based on Carl Sagan's book of the same
name, popularised the idea of aliens dozens of light-years away picking up an
old telecast of the 1936 Berlin Olympics that was unintentionally transmitted
into space, our civilisation has become quieter to any outside observers in
recent decades. As our civilisation makes the jump from analog to digital,
communication is increasingly carried by fibre-optic cables and relatively weak
mobile phone repeaters rather than powerful broadcast transmitters. Rather than
spilling out messy radio transmissions, Marcy posits that alien civilisations
would use something much more precise and efficient than radio waves to stay
connected, and lasers fit the bill. At the Keck Observatory, he hopes to spy an
errant beam flashing from a distant star system, an observation that would be
strikingly obvious on a spectrum.
This shift to new ways for finding E.T. is in part due to the failure of
traditional SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to pick up radio
signals from deep space. Federal funding for SETI projects ended in 1995, but
private benefactors have stepped up to support the search for alien radio
transmissions, including Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who has sunk more than
$US30 million into a giant radio telescope array now under construction
northeast of San Francisco.
Nevertheless, the silence underscores the question once posed by Nobel
prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi: If intelligent life is common in the
galaxy, "where is everybody?"
Marcy admits that this so-called "Fermi paradox" poses a powerful
counterargument to the prospect of success for any search for extraterrestrial
intelligence. But what if, even if the chances are vanishingly remote, he is
successful? More disturbingly, what if (as some respected physicists fear) he
finds a Death Star?
"The first thing we do is transmit a message to them that says, 'We taste
bad.' "
