UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Spherical UFO

El Mirage -- I was driving to work at 5:19 AM, to central Phoenix on August 14, 2013; I stopped at a stop sign on the access road to Grand Avenue and saw there was a nice cloud formation backed by a colorful sunrise. I decided to snap a photo and took the shot facing east at the sunrise. I took two shots and reviewed them a few days later when I noticed the glowing lights in the sky.

I used my phones screen to zoom in and was in awe looking at six orbs of light in a circular or oval shape. I live near Luke Air Force Base and see fighter jets all the time but this was definitely NOT one of them. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Objects

Clovis -- At 6:51 AM, I was taking pictures of the sunrise and the clouds of a thunderstorm which was traveling down the San Joaquin valleys east side along that was dissipating on August 18, 2013. When I downloaded the pictures to the computer I noticed I had caught three objects in the sky. My first thought was I had captured three UFOs moving south and I took a second picture seconds later, and noticed four faint black dots in the second picture. I contacted and showed the picture to a Sanger California paranormal radio talk show host Jeffery Gonzales, and he didn’t know what they were? I was really excited that I might have captured real UFOs but without the proper photo enhancing equipment I can’t say what they are. The camera I used is a digital Olympus fe-230 7.1.

Colorado Triangle UFO

Lakewood -- This is the third time in the past six months that I've seen this large object/aircraft in the night skies over the Metro Denver area. At roughly 4:15 AM on August 14, 2013. I was driving by Wal-Mart near 1st and Wadsworth- roughly when I saw a slow object moving east. What struck me was how this craft resembled the previous two sightings I witnessed this year.

The aircraft seems to be larger than a commercial airliner, with three bright white 'LED' lights on the front forward facing underside and a smaller flashing white 'LED' on the wingtip. It was flying about 90 mph as drove south onto Wadsworth Avenue and I could see the underside of the aircraft. The underside of is honeycombed flat patterned triangle shaped layout with yellow lights. From this angle, looking directly at the back of the aircraft I could see two flashing 'LED' lights on the wingtips. No sound could be heard. It is awesome and possibly a military aircraft. If you’re awake around 3AM-4:30AM and you live in Denver area keep an eye on the night skies! Each time I saw this craft it was flying towards Fitzsimmons/CU Medical University area. Thanks to MUFON CMS

SALIDA --My friend and I were up at Mt. Antero, gold panning when I decided to

 take some pictures of the area on August 18, 2013. I took pictures of the Mt Antero and the meadow and pictures of a beautiful stream.

When I got home to Colorado Springs I noticed a dark dull object in the picture. Neither I nor my friend saw or heard anything. According to the GPS, we were at 12 thousand feet and it was a thousand feet above us. I’ve never seen anything I couldn’t explain. When we try to blow up the photo, it looks like there is a glow around it and its oblong. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida UFO over Moon Alien Abduction

MIAMI -- This is a star-like object, a very bright point of light captured on August 16, 2013. I have seen this object before and it has a certain regularity. I used a Sony HD camcorder and you can see clearly that is a point of light, like a star, but it does not move in a straight line, so it is not an astronomical object or a satellite. I first spotted the object around 7:30 pm, still in daylight that appeared lower in the north horizon. It usually moves around the same point, but on August 16, it moves up all the way to the zenith, and then it fades away on the west direction around 8:24 pm.

That day also I noticed a silent drone flying around and took many hours of video recording it. Be aware that this object appears to be in the top levels of the atmosphere. Thanks to MUFON CMS

MIAMI -- On August 2, 2005, the Thomas witness called, saying that he had just awakened and was very; very thirsty even after drinking several bottles of water and wanted to tell me about what happened to him. He said, “At 1:10 AM, I had an overwhelming urge to go out back when I saw an orange light above the retention pond in my yard.” He said, “I saw the same one that I saw over the Gulf, but it was straight across, pointed at the end about 200 to 300 feet in the air that may have been a disk.” The surface was orange, pulsating, and there were three squares, then a space and then three more squares. He saw it for about 45 seconds and then it completely vanished. He found it hard to get back inside but did not awaken the others in his house.

He called me at 3:52 AM, stating, “I had two hours and forty-two minutes of missing time that was likely an abduction.” Thomas became very thirsty after this, drinking five 16 oz. bottles of water at once. He later suffered from vomiting, diarrhea and inability to urinate. On August 4, he noticed a slight burning sensation on his chest and discovered a small red triangle just below the skin. His doctor didn’t know what it was, but didn’t think it was anything to worry about. The doctor did find that his Triglycerides were dangerously high, 410, (normal 40 to 200) and said that he could be at risk for a stroke or heart attack. The doctor also found that his Electrolytes were extremely low, and advised him to drink PediaLite and to eat only fruit and vegetables. The family had gone to Cape Canaveral to see the space shuttle return and had lunch with the astronauts, Thomas’ niece asked about drinking Tang. The astronaut said, “We no longer drank that and use a different formula because they had found that weightlessness caused a decrease of electrolytes in the human body.” This may be significant to Thomas because his electrolytes were very low after an apparent abduction. The witness was fearful of a little girl with dark eyes in the doctor’s waiting room, as did people who wore sun glasses. Thanks to MM Zimmer and MUFON CMS.

Georgia Lights

CUMMING -- Sitting on the front porch and noticed two bright lights in the sky to the south on August 21, 2013. They hovered and changed directions going back and forth. Then they would change from green to red and drop like a rock behind the treeline. This was about 2 weeks before I made this report. I was told they may have been Helios helicopters. I didn’t notice them again until last night; they were in the same location and doing the same thing as before, changing color and dropping out of sight and back up again. Tonight they appeared at the same time around 9:15 pm. I drove to a better location to observe them and a couple of more people were watching them. A lady said that it flew right over them just before I arrived and was in the shape of an asterisk with a spinning motion in the center, she said it made a slight humming noise like an air conditioning unit. We watched the lights hover; float around make hairpin turns and come to a complete stop. One of the objects changed colors from a green and white light to a brilliant red and dropped like a rock behind the treeline. The other one floated around then hovered. A few minutes passed and the object that dropped behind the treeline reappeared rising back up in a brilliant red light, turning to a blinding white light.

We watched the objects and we had a really freaky feeling watching them. Then both objects turned red and dropped behind the treeline and we didn’t see them again. The other couple said they saw the objects drop behind the trees. One goes down while the other stays up and hovers and floats nearby then both objects dropped below the tree line.

Illinois UFO near Sears Tower

Chicago I was on the Amtrak train, the train had just entered so being the tourist I am I took a photo of the Willis (or Sears) tower. I had not seen anything at the time it took the picture. I was still on the train at the time; I took the picture through the window. The window had a smear on it, if you look at the picture the UFO looks like its emitting smoke, it’s not, it’s the smear. When I noticed it on my picture the first thing that came to mind was "I actually caught a legit UFO, and I’m only 12". Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan

 GRAND RAPIDS -- On August 24, 2013, at 2:45 AM, I witnessed an orange pulsating orb in the north sky as I stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. I quickly turned on the video on my Galaxy Exhibit 4G. I am a US Air Force veteran and aware of what aircraft look like at night.

I have never seen anything that fits the description of the craft that I saw.

This is the second strange encounter I’ve had in the last two years. My brother also had a strange encounter.

New Jersey UFOs

 Marlton -- My kids and their mother were driving down Route 70 east when they saw a UFO hovering over farm land on August 25, 2013. It began to move slowly, and was as high as a 10 story building. They immediately knew it was an UFO because it had three white lights shining below the craft that descended 20 feet. The lights were a continuous bright light for the full 20 feet. After several minutes, a second UFO with red outside lights appeared and hovered next to the first UFO. They were very frightened and went to the nearest store where there were other observers who they said did not know what it was. After 15 minutes, they left the store and once again saw the two UFOs. As they drove down Route 70 a third UFO joined the other two and formed a triangle and slowly climbed upwards. They lost the UFOs and were too scared to try to follow them. This image was taken on my son’s cell phone of a white light that is green in the picture. A UFO is below. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Mexico Disc UFO

Corona -- My brother and I were checking out the area near the Corona UFO crash site of 1947. We took some photos with our iPhone on August 19, 2013, and when we got back home, we noticed something in our photo.

When the photo was taken, no A/C, birds, or debris was visible in the air. We heard no sound. I do not know what the object is... I’ve tried to analyze the pictures but no great results.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Discs

 Fayetteville -- Travelling north in my car after work on August 24, 2013, we took a picture of a cloud formation. The sun was behind the car.

Our photo captured an object we noticed in the photo later that evening. Object was moving at incredible speed and we used a Stop f/2.4 exposure at 1/3717 second at ISO Speed of 100 Focal length 5mm.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Orbs

SANDUSKY -- On August 9, 2013, about 10:20 PM, we were talking about seeing UFO’s, when we saw something that looked liked Japanese Lanterns in the sky.

I took a picture of them but what I saw wasn’t what I got in the picture.

You tell me what they are.

Oklahoma UFO Orb

Mustang -- We were at the Mustang City Park with family and friends to watch the fireworks on July 4, 2013 that were exploding around us. My sister-in-law said, “Jeff look a UFO.” I looked where she pointed above the building in front of us. I pulled out my Samsung Digital Camera and took several pictures. My sister-in-law also recorded pictures on her phone. At first I thought it was fireworks but it was moving too fast, and a firework went off near it. It looked like it jumped away from the explosion. You can see it jump between the first and second picture. It was my first good sighting and it just faded away. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Cylinder

UNION -- On August 11, 2013, I was in my front yard looking at the stars and saw to the west a bright white orb sphere appear. It was real bright that’s why I noticed it. No noise came from it when it moved through the sky about the speed of a plane and was definitely lower in altitude than a plane. I took my camera on my phone and captured two pictures before it flew out of sight. I don’t know what it is but I do know I have seen similar things for the past two years off and on. I was super excited and when I got inside much later and looked at my pictures I was in shock in what was in both photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Tennessee Cylinder UFO

I was on the first leg of a flight from Denver, CO to Charleston, SC and was staring out the window, as I do on long boring flights and I noticed a long black cylinder like object directly off the left side of the 737 aircraft. I took images with my iPhone around noon before we landed in Nashville, TN. on March 14, 2011. I fly often and know what other aircraft looks like outside of a plane window. This object was odd because it had no trail and it kept up with our plane. Before changing direction completely and speeding up the object was almost vertical. I pointed it out to my friend who also saw it but could not explain it either. It changed direction and sped away. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Cylinder

HAMPTON -- I was outside taking pictures on August 20, 2013, of the full blue moon with my new Samsung 16 megapixel camera. After downloading the pictures to my computer a noticed a contrail next to the moon of three contrails merging into one. I could not see the aircraft that were making the contrails. I could see there were round objects following behind in the contrail. One of the objects stayed with the flight until the last picture. The objects may have been illuminated by the sun as it was 8:30 pm as the sun set. I am 65 years old and have lived my entire life near Langley Air Force base on the east coast water front. I would judge these objects to be in the 35000 to 40000 foot of altitude. The speed seemed to be somewhat faster than other aircraft I have recorded at that altitude. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Crystal Type Object

 Leavenworth -- I saw a crystal type light, mid day around 2 PM, on August 18, 2013, and didn’t think much of it until a minute or so later so I took a picture. I thought it weird to see because there were absolutely no clouds in the sky. The picture is looking west-southwest. The shiny object was there for twenty minutes. It could be a cloud, but it would be the first I have seen that looked like that. And there were absolutely no other clouds in the sky. It looked the same as the photo and was clearer to the naked eye than the camera could capture. I just thought it odd for a “cloud” to shine like a crystal or diamond would when light reflects.

Note: The photo appears to be a small cloud. However, the witness doesn’t believe that he saw nor photographed a cloud. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

World Wide UFO Sightings

Bolivia Green Orb

LAKE TITICACA -- We were crossing the border between Peru into Bolivia near the shore of Lake Titicaca on May 20, 2013. I took pictures of the view with my iPad, and when I saw the pictures later I realized there was a green orb.

In the second picture the green orb seems to have dashed 100 meters away in or more in less than 7 seconds.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Five Lights

Sorel-Tracy – I saw five lights following each other in line, the last one was higher and closer to the one in front. Going north then one by one turned to the east, dimmed and disappeared. One minute later a chopper with his lights on came from the east and turned south and took the same path. No sound was heard and the sky was clear. Thanks to MUFON CMS

France Disc UFO

 My name is Archie Saga, 37-yrs-old. I am a Filipino living in South of France about 16 years or so.

I would like to report a UFO sighting that I have captured using my cell phone (iPhone5) camera.

What amazed me after 3 shots that I took is that I didn't notice the object at the time. It was a terrible weather on June 13, 2013 at Cap D’ail; we were expecting a powerful thunderstorm so I took a photo of the clouds forming just above a super yacht. Powerful lightning was experienced that day cutting electricity four times.

I tried to zoom in the image but could not figure out exactly the shape of the object. There was a dark shade coming from below the object like a heat source. I believe I just took a genuine UFO photo.

Thanks to http://www.ufocasebook.com/2013/france060913.html

India Disc

Taj Mahal -- UFO was allegedly spotted by the Indian Army near Taj Mahal in mid August. A video posted online appeared to show a UFO close to India's popular white marbled monument, Taj Mahal. A misleading news headline has led to confusing reports of the UFO sighting.

A report from The Inquisitr said it was true that the Indian army has reported UFO sightings, but they were nowhere near the Taj Mahal. The Army UFO sightings were part of a continuous wave of UFOs seen on the Indo-Tibetan/China Border.

Jason McClellan from Open Minds said after watching the video that it wasn't a bug since the object near Taj Mahal was not moving. The video appeared to be part of UFOPrimeTube's collection of UFO videos.

Comments under the video suggest the UFO sighting was not actually a UFO.

Mumbai Ovals

Kharghar Navi – During the past two or three months I have been noticing these really extraordinary objects that I believe is a UFO. It is a typical oval shaped light that is mostly visible between 10 PM and 10:20 PM. The August 19, 2013, light does not blink like those of planes so I am 110% sure it is a UFO!
Yesterday it was visible for some ten minutes and disappeared two minutes before a plane came!

Puerto Rico

CANÓVANAS -- My son and I arrived from work and l looked at the moon and noticed the smoke or cloud line left below the moon which started from north to south which looked like something came into the atmosphere on August 18, 2013. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Spain Triangle UFO

GERENA -- Mr. Antonio Márquez, a resident of Gerena, member of the National Police on duty at a commissariat in Seville, kindly visited ufologist Joaquín Mateos Nogales to report the following:

“While travelling in my car to Seville to join the ranks, I witnessed something unusual at Kilometer 9 of the Gerena Road, at the crossing with the road to Extremadura. The time was 20:45 hours on the night of 6 February 1990. A brilliant, triangular-shaped object was some 40 meters to the right of the road, at an altitude of approximately 100 meters.”

According to the witness, it measured 12 to 14 meters long, and within the triangle he could see several hexagons of mostly green, yellow and blue, which differentiated the hexagons. At the time, the witness was afraid to stop, uncertain of how the object would react, as he explained. Two cars crossed his own vehicle at the time, but did not stop, and neither did he. When he reached the crossing with the road to Extremadura, he went into a brick factory, somewhat nervously, and explained what he had seen to the person in charge.

UK/England Lights

 Fareham -- Seen five lights following each other in line, the last one was higher and closer to the one in front. Going north then one by one turned to the east, dimmed and disappeared. 1 minute latter a chopper whit his lights on came from the east and turned south (took about the same path in mid August. 

No sound was heard. The sky was clear. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Alien spacecraft travels to Sun - Not a Comet


Look at how a simple view of the Comet Ison is seen and yet when darkened its true nature shines through. It's really a giant alien ship that flys past our sun. This is comet C/2012 S1 o Ison, which NASA is trying to misrepresent as a comet.

 It seems that since the suns magnetic field is going to flip or reverse and this mothership is approaching our sun, it would be safe to assume the UFO either is going to cause the flip or wants to harvest some kind of magnetic energy when it happens.

 C/2012 S1 will come to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on 28 November 2013 at a distance of 0.012 AU (1,800,000 km; 1,100,000 mi) from the centre point of the Sun.

Date of UFO Discovery: August 2013
Location of UFO Discovery: Heading toward Earth Sun!

UFO research is up in the air: Can it be scientific?



Sounds Sciencey     article from the Sceptical Inquirer

Sharon Hill        August 28, 2013

A few months back, a British anomaly investigation organization announced the possible death of UFOlogy. They admitted that failure to provide proof that UFOs were extraterrestrial craft and a decline in the number of UFO reports suggests that aliens do not exist after all. Was this the end of “UFOlogy”—the study of UFOs? “No way! It's alive and well here,” said the U.S. UFOlogists. So it is. But what is the real status of the study of UFOs?

The UFO research field is having a bit of a crisis these days. Reports come in by the hundreds. There are not enough people to investigate them. Yet, decades of UFO research by private and military organizations have resulted in disappointment for those who surely thought there was something out there to reveal. Many of the historic figures of UFOlogy are aging or have passed away. Who is doing the work now? And what exactly are they doing?

The major organization remaining in the U.S. for investigating UFO sightings is MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network. MUFON is not in good shape. Their stated mission is to conduct scientific investigation of UFO reports for the benefit of mankind. But there is dispute about their ability to actually do that. The current version of MUFON, according to those observing the situation, is focused on everything except proper UFO investigation and is nowhere near scientific. Membership in the organization has fallen off and some local MUFON groups are disgruntled. Leadership upheavals over the past few years may have been distracting and overall, they are experiencing a serious case of mission creep.

MUFON consists of chapters covering each state across the country who operate somewhat independently with members paying dues to the main headquarters. They promote a scientific method. But do they actually accomplish that goal? Recent commentators say no, they do not. The focus in local MUFON chapters meetings these days is decidedly unscientific with talks on alien abduction, conspiracy theories, human-ET hybrids, hypnotic regression, and repressed memories. That's a wide range of pseudoscience in one place. It's dragging down the credibility of the entire subject as well as missing the point of improving actual UFO investigations.

A comprehensive two-part piece recently appeared online describing the changing of the guard at MUFON that is installing its fourth director since 2009. The UFO Trail blog critiques the current status the field and takes note of the rising voices in the community, some of whom wish to elevate the investigations and methods out of the realm of pseudoscience. Author of The UFO Trail, Jack Brewer, is critical of the current methodology, characterized it as “sham inquiry”—a label I used to describe amateur paranormal investigation and one he thought also applied in this case.

The newly named director of MUFON, Jan Harzon, states that UFOlogy is a science and intends to put a scientific face back on UFO investigations. Their latest symposium, held in Las Vegas this past July had the theme “Science, UFOs, and the Search for ET.” The conference featured presentations from several science professionals (current and former) but did not provide any blockbuster information or do much to promote science.

"We hope to bridge the gap between science and UFOlogy," said Jan Harzan, state director of network's Orange County bureau. "They're one in the same." - Las Vegas Sun (19 July 2013).

Many skeptical critics would dispute the claim that UFOlogy is a science but that depends on how you wish to define “science.” A general definition such as a “systematically collected body of knowledge” is not very descriptive of a subject area that contains a lot of data but few constructive hypotheses to provide a framework. The UFO sighting data is mostly witness reports and much of it is of questionable veracity or too old to be of much value any longer. The National UFO Reporting Center has a database of reported sightings but I haven’t found any compelling reports about flaps or trends to make sense of the data. It could be that I’m not reading cutting-edge UFO research but if there really was a good report that solidly concluded that there was a pattern and subsequent explanation for UFO flaps, I would be interested. I would hope I’d have heard of it, at least from those who have a more in-depth knowledge. But, as with claims of proof of psychics or hauntings, we only have popular, often biased reports about particular events from individuals that have a belief to promote. Those case studies in addition to being problematic in their accuracy (since it’s hard to confirm many of the events via witnesses), are not robust enough to aid in explaining the phenomenon.

The discussion coming from a small group of today's modern UFO researchers suggests that UFOlogy is on the wrong track these days. With a focus on abductions, conspiracies, and exopolitics/disclosure, the core of the field is no longer about investigating and identifying what people are reporting to have seen in the sky.

Antonio Paris runs the API Aerial Phenomenon Investigation Team, which has a somewhat different focus than MUFON. He wishes to return to the “nuts and bolts” idea of UFO investigation and get away from the conspiracy and fringe topics that so often dominate the symposiums and local MUFON talks.

I asked Antonio what sorts of tools his organization uses to do investigations. He noted that Internet sites can help identify some of the man-made objects like aircraft and satellite. MUFON also mentions these tools on their sites along with astronomical sites to identify bright celestial objects that are sometimes confusing to people viewing them on the ground. Paris is also familiar with the shape of many military aircraft and says he can typically identify them in association with military bases nearby. API has tackled about 300 or so cases but does not pursue those that look like jokes, hoaxes, or give them nothing to go on. There is no lack of UFO reports. An initial screening to determine viable cases is necessary to remove those cases not worthy of investigation or they would be overwhelmed.

MUFON trains their investigators through a manual and an exam. Paris noted to me that the test requires no specialized skills and many people could potentially pass it without even looking at the manual. The certification as a field investigator is a worthwhile effort by MUFON to standardize their methods and provide a framework for consistency of methods but it's only internal to MUFON. When each MUFON chapter operates pretty much on its own, inconsistency and regional differences creep in. Paris told me he is frustrated by the lack of sharing of information both internally and externally of MUFON noting that an object of interest can fly over a wide area. Coordination of reports that may be of the same object would be a worthwhile effort. Science is dependent on sharing information either through collaboration or peer review of findings. UFOlogy appears weak in that area having no established journal or even an online location for filing results.

Even more fundamental to UFOlogy than answering “Is it a science?” is “Can it ever be scientific?”

UFOs are uniquely difficult to investigate for several reasons. The observation is fleeting. It may not repeat. It is difficult to reproduce. If it remains airborne, it leaves no physical evidence behind, only the story of the witness. The observation is often made in the dark under conditions in which it is difficult (or impossible) to accurately judge size and distance.

The options for making a UFO into an IFO (identified) are many and various. Along with the typical reports (satellites, aircraft, flares and planets), we have more man-made things in the air now than ever: experimental balloons and aircraft, weather balloons, Chinese lanterns, drones, dirigibles, toys and deliberate hoaxes. Even people can become UFOs.

Can UFOs be scientifically investigated?

If by “scientific” we mean methodical, objective observations in consideration of natural laws, logic and reason, then, yes. I think UFO investigation can be scientific but the sea change that is needed would be pretty huge for the field and I don’t know if they can pull it off. As with paranormal investigators, UFO researchers tend to lean towards the believer side. That’s what keeps them passionate. But it's also their undoing. A bias towards belief in a mystery or in alien craft is the first giant misstep in UFOlogy. The first step for a rejuvenated field to gain credibility is to drop the default belief that ETs are visiting earth and back up to the very basic question, “What, if anything, did this witness see?” Begin looking for real world answers instead of “proof” to support a belief in alien life.

I found a great example of one such sound UFO investigation. Andrew Hansford recently gave an excellent talk at the 2013 Amazing Meeting about how he examined a UFO case from Marblehead, MA. You can see his report here. He was able to glean the best answer and make a solid conclusion from rather few bits of initial information. He used the tools available to him to seek a down-to-earth explanation.

I asked CFI fellow and Skeptical Inquirer UFO columnist Robert Sheaffer his thoughts about scientific investigation of UFOs. It's a bit tricky. Many have assumed it's possible, he says, but it turns out to be more difficult than it seems. Sheaffer has documented the several times “rapid response” teams have been attempted by UFO organizations. It was hoped that by gathering “reliable witness reports,” and implementing a “rapid response team” to capture the UFO with professional filming techniques, better evidence could be put forth for the claim that something worth paying attention to was really occurring.

Rapid response teams turned out to be disappointing, says Sheaffer. Antonio Paris was part of one such team, the “STAR Team” for MUFON. Millionaire Robert Bigelow funded the project. “MUFON has been somewhat tight-lipped about the results,” Sheaffer tells me, “but they are generally conceded to be hugely disappointing.” It did not give them the results they hoped for.

Sheafffer has written about other “rapid response” efforts prior to the STAR Team in his Psychic Vibrations column of July/Aug, 2009 of Skeptical Inquirer. In 1967, J. Allen Hynek proposed and later implemented a national toll-free UFO Hotline. Experienced screeners manned the lines twenty-four hours a day. They contacted local police and/or other investigators who would rush to the scene. Hynek expected this method would yield excellent evidence. Even with the cooperation of the FBI, years later, it did not produce the expected results.

The National UFO Reporting Center, run by Peter Davenport, has had a telephone hotline since 1974.

In 1977, the French government created an agency called GEPAN to investigation UFO reports. After producing nothing convincing, official UFO investigations in France ended in 2004. The British UFO desk was closed in 2009 despite a surge of sighting reports. Nothing was distillable from the reports.

In the late 1990s, the Los Vigilantes of Mexico City was organized to respond to a flap of UFO sightings in the area. Cameras were at the ready to respond to UFO reports on short notice. Sheaffer says, as far as he was aware, they never obtained anything of significance.

MUFON still gets hundreds of cases a month and there is considerable backlog of investigations. That’s a hefty work load for volunteers. There is a need to sort the wheat from the utter chaff but there still are valid means to find out what people probably saw in the sky. Most reports will have a satisfying answer if diligently investigated. But that may not happen or the eyewitness may not accept it.

Paris’s API group is in contact with the new leadership at MUFON and is encouraged that a more sound approach to the field is on the horizon. This may be a new dawn for UFOlogy as the old guard dies away and the new, more centered, serious thinkers take over. UFOlogy is undergoing a transformation once again.

For now, UFOlogy attempts to sound sciencey, but it is not nearly up to the standards to be called “science.” Can it be science? Only with a wholesale change in assumptions and approach. Drop the fascination with conspiracies and abductions—go back to nuts and bolts.

Sharon will be participating in UFOCon14 in Baltimore, Maryland in 2014.

Remark of Peter2011:
Who can tell me why the sceptics do it know always better? Have they seen the light? A sceptic is a doubter, what means that he does doubt about all things, except sciences... I wonder if they know they do exist? If science is so miraculous, why can the academics  not cure diseases, as cancer, AIDS,...

Ben de Bruycker 29 août 21:47 Overlords of the UFO is a scientific suppressed and banned documentary from 1976. Much of this documentary features long lost photos of UFO's and other evidence long taken out of the public main stream media. This documentary also discloses that the govt has all ready admitted to the existence of off world UFO's, but that information has long been manipulated out of the public's attention and eyes. Some of the documentary goes into other unexplained phenomenon also. BUT the most important information in this movie is that the govt has all ready disclosed and released the evidence of UFOs and ETs but that disclosure has been taken out of the public's awareness and media for decades. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUhoeZi9nek&sns=em

RECENT UFO-DIGEST ARTICLES.

JESSE MARCEL JR. DIED OF A HEART ATTACK AUGUST 24 by Kevin Randle. I have known Jesse for more than a quarter century. I first met him while we both were in Roswell to film a segment for the old Unsolved Mysteries that aired on NBC. We had gone out to dinner with a number of those in town for the program and since we shared a military background, including that of Army Aviation, we connected immediately. As medical doctor, he was trained as a flight surgeon and I, of course, had been a helicopter pilot. More...

IN MEMORIAM KEVIN SMITH - UFO INVESTIGATOR @ WORLD RENOWN RADIO HOST by Robert D. Morningstar and Jerry Will. It is with a heavy heart, and with great sadness that we announce the passing on Wednesday August 14th, 2013 of our friend and UFO Digest Asian Correspondent, Kevin Smith, the long-time host of The Kevin Smith Show, which was syndicated across the country and around the world for over a decade.

JOURNALIST PAOLA HARRIS LECTURES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN LOOKING ETS by Sean Casteel. On July 27, 2013, UFO researcher and author Paola Harris spoke to a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization International, a group founded and led by hypnotherapist and alien abduction researcher Yvonne Smith. The meeting was held in Thousand Oaks, California, a city just north of Los Angeles, and drew a packed house. More... Also read: JOURNALIST PAOLA HARRIS LECTURES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN LOOKING ETS - PART II

MY STRANGE LIFE WITH UFOS AND ALIENS by Bob Morrison. For sixty years, four months and 20 days I never knew. Looking back how could I have not known? I should have known but for some reason my thoughts would not take me in that direction. But the reality was I was not ready. It would take 60 years to prepare me for the shock of my life. For most of my adult life I could never figure out why my life was stranger than fiction. More... Also read: MY STRANGE LIFE WITH UFOS AND ALIENS PART II

DIRECTED PANSPERMIA: ESTABLISHED SCIENCE MEETS PALEO-CONTACT by Edward Crabtree. That scenario is, of course, science fiction. In a notorious exchange with the controversialist Ben Stein, however, a respected British ethologist said something that was to create shockwaves. He said: `I could be that at some earlier time, somewhere in the Universe, a civilisation evolved, probably by some kind of Darwinian means, probably to a high level of technology, and designed a form of life that they seeded onto this planet. Now that is a possibility, an intriguing possibility`. More...

LIFE AFTER DEATH: DO WE SET SAIL INTO THE COSMOS? by Diane Tessman. How narrow and limited mainstream science often is! Every now and then, it comes up with a study which says near-death experience such as the consciousness leaving the body and encountering a wondrous “alien” universe – is just a myth. Medical researchers have announced (again) that near-death experience may well be caused by a surge of electrical firing in the dying brain. This new research was done on animals; many of us object to the use of research animals in this way – a subject for another day. More...

POLICEMAN REPORTS UFO PHENOMENON ALONG ROAD TO GERENA, SPAIN by Scott Corrales. Mr. Antonio Márquez, a resident of Gerena, member of the National Police on duty at a commissariat in Seville, kindly visited ufologist Joaquín Mateos Nogales to report the following: “While travelling in my car to Seville from this community of Gerena to join the ranks, I witnessed something unusual at Kilometer 9 of the Gerena Road, at the crossing with the road to Extremadura. The time was 20:45 hours on the night of 6 February 1990. A brilliant, triangular-shaped OBJECT was some 40 meters to the right of the road, at an altitude of approximately 100 meters.” More... Also read: FOLLOW UP - "A STRANGE AND ENORMOUS" FOUR METER FISH WASHES UP ON A BEACH IN VILLARICOS

CONFUSION REIGNS AS UFOS AND ORANGE LANTERNS COMPETE! by Chris Holly. I have been getting emails from all over the country with photo's attached by people upset by what they saw floating by them in the night sky. I understand how easily the large bright lanterns now available can look like a very strange object aglow in the night sky. As I looked at the photos being sent to me and read the description of how they silently floated together in the sky until they blinked out or some have a flame drop before they blinked out I knew - it was most likely lanterns.

BIZARRE LEGEND INCIDENT AT FLAT ROCK by Doc Vega. At the turn of the Twentieth Century an obscure but terrifying event occurred in Australia. At Flat Rock or Ayers Rock as it is also known as in Australia, a mysterious incident occurred that left people horrified over the aftermath and asking questions. Ayers Rock is a strange rock formation that rises high above a predominantly flat surrounding region of desert and arid plains. It is here that a strange event transpired that left a public elementary school teacher and school children in an inexplicable state of shock that leaving them speechless and unable to articulate just exactly what had actually happened!

SPELLBINDING ACCOUNTS OF HIDDEN TREASURES by Warwick Associates. Why are so many people fascinated by treasure? Is it purely a desire for wealth or is it also the romantic appeal of tales of lost ancient artifacts? Indeed the stories behind certain treasures, especially those looted from their archaeological context, read like a cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond. Such a case is Sevso Treasure, a hoard of 14 large silver vessels from the late Roman Empire, estimated to be worth $200 million on today’s market. More...

On the following day, August 4th 2013, I was walking my dog in the park In Oshawa when a helicopter appeared into the area shinning it’s bright white light.

Scientists in the Stone Age?

University of Oxford, Ashmolean Museum. Three of the stones in the picture were found at Skara Brae, Orkney, which is assumed to have religious significance.

By: Amanda Froelich,
True Activist.

5 stone balls discovered in Scotland (Kincardineshire, Aberdeenshire, and Banff), part of a collection at the Ashmolean Museum, are baffling archaeologists in their purpose.

Dating back to 3,000 and 2,000 BC, the five stones at the museum are just some of over 425 stones which have been found, all featuring peculiar symmetrical patterns.

Composed of different stones like sandstone and granite, they’re intricately designed, and like modern examples of atoms, are geometrically balanced.

Most of the stones are similar in size with a diameter of 70 mm except for a few larger ones up to 114 mm in diameter. The many knobs vary from 4 up to 33 with some of the stones also including spiral patterns.

The five stones in the museum were part of the collection of Sir John Evans  who hypothesized that they had been used during war attached to a thong. However, the lack of damage to the stones would suggest that this isn’t an accurate assumption, as well as the intense preparation to create such a ball for war doesn’t make sense

Other explanations include that they were possibly used as weights for fishing nets or had a ceremonial role, giving the holder the right to speak.

However, there is another theory: could the symmetrically balanced and intricately carved stones be a model of the nucleus of atoms? Many findings suggest past civilizations were quite intelligent, recognizing star patterns of galaxies scientists are now just discovering and perhaps even utilizing the energy of the universe to move inanimate objects. If such theories were true, perhaps these stone balls were just a small part in understanding the universe; if one had knowledge of chemistry, it would be possible to represent the atomic structure of different atoms, such as in the stones.

At the very least, the embossed symmetrical patterns suggest that the creator of these objects had knowledge of geometry and may even have been able to represent the platonic solids, regular, convex polyhedrons, and regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex.

For now, their true purpose remains a mystery, but speculation continues to broaden perspective.
