Witnesses in Missouri and California reporting separate events on February 11, 2014, both describe helicopters chasing UFOs, according to testimony today in cases 54029 and 54034 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
A Missouri witness in Lone Jack was watching television at 6:01 p.m. Central Time, February 11, 2014, when the sound of a “loud helicopter thundering” overhead was heard. He immediately moved to a window facing south and looked outside.
“I saw a black military attack helicopter hauling ass just over my house at or below 300 feet from my roof top,” the witness stated.
But then the witness noticed a second object in the sky.
“It was going east to west and then immediately turned south towards a thin, dark gray, disk object that had a white light modulating from it. The disk appeared less than a mile away heading north when it was as if the helicopter spooked it and it simply made an abrupt left turn heading northwest at an amazing speed towards Kansas City, Missouri.”
The witness observed that the military helicopter was not able to catch up to the disc-shaped object.
“With the black military attack helicopter turning very hard 'almost vertical' around heading northwest in pursuit of it – whatever the object was – it definitely had the ability to out run the military helicopter and disappeared from sight.”
Then two hours and 24 minutes later – in Anaheim, California – a witness was inside at a computer at 6:25 p.m. Pacific Time on February 11, 2014, when the sound of a loud helicopter was heard. The witness ran outside to a backyard facing west.
“I saw that the ground in the backyard was lit up pretty good,” the witness stated. “I say 'lit up' because it was dark out and we have a patio cover so the sky is somewhat blocked.”
But the witness was surprised to see two objects moving overhead.
“As I went out the sliding back door to my right I immediately saw an orb-like, star-shining object that was being chased by a helicopter.”
The witness watched the scene.
“The helicopter did have its search light on so I'm guessing that's what the light was. So when I looked up I didn't even see the helicopter at first – all I saw was a bright white orb and then the helicopter. That's how low the two were. I viewed the helicopter chasing the orb (orb made no noise) from the west going toward the east.”
The witness was fascinated with the objects.
“I was in awe on just how low these two were in the sky and on how the orb was just so bold and solid and brilliant. It was like a star passing by right in front of me. The helicopter had its blinking red and white lights on with the search light, but when the helicopter shined the light on the orb, it kept going out, or so it seemed.”
The witness watched both objects move off into the distance.
“I viewed these two flying toward the east, way off into the distance, and kept viewing for as long as I could when the orb suddenly disappeared for 2 to 4 seconds and then reappeared for another 20 seconds and then disappeared again.”
MUFON receives reports every year from around the country where a military jet or helicopter appears to be following or chasing a UFO.
“These types of incidents are certainly something we watch for,” said MUFON Executive Director Jan C. Harzan, reached today at his Newport Beach, CA, headquarters office. “Some of the more important historical UFO events include a military presence. And in a small number of cases nationally, we do have reports where a witness will encounter a UFO and then see what appears to be a military jet or helicopter coming into the same airspace. Witnesses in these cases typically report that the military vehicle appears to be chasing the UFO. It is definitely something we watch for because it supports the reality that we believe the U.S. government still investigates UFOs.”
Lone Jack is a city in Jackson County, MO, population 1,050. The Missouri incident was Case 54029. Missouri has a UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of recent reports. Missouri was the 10th highest reporting state with 19 reports in January 2014 - while California had 102 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation. Anaheim is a city in Orange County, CA, population 336,265. The California incident was Case 54034. No images or videos were included with either case.
Recent reports of low flying UFOs from around the country include:

This week's dose of the paranormal takes us into the unknown in the skies above us as HPI international investigates UFO sightings and oddities in the heavens above us. For those that believe we are alone in the universe; open your eyes and minds.
The story can’t be verified for authenticity, but it is still a story that should be told. Take a seat and let me tell you this bizarre tale of strangeness.
I receive a call from a young man named Johnny. Johnny does not want his full name in this article, nor does he want to let you know where the incident occurred. He will let you know that the incident happened somewhere in the Midwest. Four years ago, Johnny and his friend Tyler were in a secluded area camping. The area is lush meadows and surrounding trees in the distance. On the night they were camping, there were mid-level Cumulus clouds, perhaps 6,500 feet high from the ground.
ufo sightings 2Johnny and Tyler heard a rumbling noise in the sky. Tyler’s eyes started flickering and he completely passed out. Johnny tried to revive his friend, but he was out cold and then he noticed what appeared to be a large white panel truck in the sky! The large white panel truck was huge. If you were to place 2 large Hummers together, it was the size of two large Hummers in width and in length. The white panel truck seemed to have a huge panel door on the side, large windows in front and 4 wheels and it was driving on top of the mid-level Cumulus clouds! There was a large bright light that seemed to chase it.
Johnny was affixed to this object and finally to his surprise the object descended from the clouds and landed in the meadow. Right behind it came the bright light and the bright light turned into what looked like a Space Shuttle!
At this time, I was ready to hang up on Johnny, because I thought this story was absolutely bizarre and it was hard for me to fathom that this story had any credibility to it. But, I decided to hang on, because the story was fascinating to say the least.
Johnny was compelled to go towards the large white panel truck. He could not resist walking towards this strange flying machine that has a Space Shuttle parked at its rear. Johnny remembers looking into the window of the large white panel truck and he could make out the driver/pilot. The driver/pilot had a US space suit on and as he peered through the window into the driver/pilot’s head gear he saw what he describes as a Grey with large black oval eyes. The driver/pilot of this vehicle started waving his arms frantically and Johnny stepped back from the large white panel truck and it ascended into the sky with the space shuttle following. As it reached the clouds both objects blinked into nothingness.
Johnny went to the campfire and discovered that the campfire was out. The wood was completely burned and now smoldering. Johnny was confused, because the fire should have kept burning, it was only perhaps 40 minutes that passed during the sighting. Tyler awakened and asked what happened. Johnny and Tyler were also shocked that the sun was now rising. Johnny claims that the area has a lot of UFO activity, black helicopters and some cattle mutilations. Johnny also claims that at the age of 10 that he may have been abducted. He has flashbacks of buzzing sounds, bright lights and being stared at by big black eyes.
The only reason why I take some credence to Johnny’s story is that UFOs have been known to morph into other objects. Here are some possible cases and stories:
UFOS TRANSFORM INTO AIRSHIPS:
From 1896 to 1897, thousands of people witnessed ‘airships’, when there were no airships in existence. The first airship was spotted over Sacramento, California on November 17, 1896. The airship looked like a Goodyear blimp and there were no Goodyear blimps in 1896. Could UFOs have disguised their ships to look like airships, so that citizens would not be alarmed?
UFOS TRANSFORM INTO BLACK HELICOPTERS:
Some Ufologists make claim that UFOs can project images to deceive witnesses. Case example where witnesses watch a typical saucer shaped UFO morph into a black helicopter. Could UFOs use projected holograms to disguise their craft to conceal themselves from potential witnesses? A famous projected hologram by a UFO could have happened at the Miracle of Fatima where gatherers closest to the 3 children saw a projected image of a ‘lady’, while gatherers furthest from the children saw a dancing sun (possible UFO).
Since there are cases in which UFOs play ‘Transformers’ to the witnesses, I was compelled to tell Johnny’s story and let you the reader be the judge.
I was driving along highway 39 out of Klamath falls, As I was entering the town of Merrill when I noticed a pure bright white pointy edged kind of rectangular light emanating from an object (to me seemed to perfect of a light to be a kitchen window light) silhouetted by the houses behind it in a field about 50-60 feet away from me off the main road.
Although it was dark out still I could make out a pie plate shaped object about 20 feet in diameter with a sort of dip missing from one side. It was on that side I noticed more than two but no more than four smaller persons around it. I got the impression they were working, I did not pay too much attention to them as I slowed to make out what I was looking at. Suddenly I got a stabbing feeling in me the people around the object were alarmed I had noticed them and now I was staring. I could not make them out because of the dark but I thought maybe they were a mix of children and teens or possibly women because of the height and frame, they stopped what ever it was they were doing and stood still. I entered town and lost sight temporarily.
I was driving a u-haul truck and towing a car trailer, It was difficult but I made a u-turn to take a longer look at this weird object. when I returned after a time lapse of maybe 3 min. tops most likely less, It was no longer there only a kind of haze or fog remained. I scanned the sky hanging my head out the window. I noticed a blinking red beacon for aircraft like the kind all over the area on mountains and towers. This beacon was about maybe 50 feet above a closed sore or business, I stared at it realizing nothing was holding this “Beacon” up, Like it was trying to mock the other beacons all over the area. The flashing stopped then red and white lights came on all around the outside of the craft then began to go around the circumference of it in sequence, white then red then white… I knew it was definitely a disk at that point.
The front (or what i assume was the front) tilted downward about 20 degrees and began to slowly fly off at a casual helicopter speed. I assume in order to throw me off by mocking a helicopter now. This made me laugh because it was nothing like a helicopter. I listened intently for any noise as it made no noticeable sound at all. First it flew south east, Then about a mile away from me it changed direction toward where I estimate MT. Shasta is from my spot along the road where I had parked, Then continuing at the same speed flew out of sight from me. At that point I drove around a bit investigating the edge of town where the craft was landed, I noticed a couple of things I considered strange that may or may not have relevance to the sighting.
Like a man in the house closest to the landing site sitting in front of a large pain window with no blinds being completely oblivious to my accidentally getting a giant truck stuck on his front lawn when I attempted another u-turn, Almost as if he were some kind of hypnotized or something. I continued on my way. Once I got to the wooded area of the drive by the Lava flows monument my truck lost power and slowed almost to a stop for no apparent reason at all. Most of my attempts to make calls or texts were stopped short by no signal in areas signal has never been a problem for me. I felt both watched and not alone the rest of my drive to Reno and occasionally still feel watched and not alone even as recently as this morning.
Since I have felt weary to be alone outside in the early morning dark, I don’t understand why when I wasn’t frightened by the event. My new camera that unfortunately didn’t have battery’s at the time this happened does not work anymore even after I replaced the battery’s a couple times. It makes me think this thing somehow broke it.
This section explores the myth of the MIB(Men In Black). It is mainly based on my MIB research regarding incidents after 1976 in England.
Part 1: The making of the myth
Many seem to feel it was divisions of the USAF that created the MIB myth, but this could not be further from the truth. There is strong evidence to suggest that MIB have been co-existing with us, since we care to remember and this leads one to ask why there was ever such a need. The actual basis of their origin lies deep within the recesses of the UFO witness, as research suggests that MIB normally make an appearance after somebody has witnessed a UFO. This has often led me to believe whether the ability to see a UFO, brings out the MIB from their hiding, forced to contemplate the inevitable that their hidden origin will be revealed one day. However this is even harder to believe when faced with the MIB themselves; a shocking confrontation whereby the witness is unsure of how to act, due to the weirdness being exhibited by the strange guests. The actual name Men in black is misleading, as there have been sightings reported to me of Females in black; this may lead one to think that maybe they do possess some Alien origin, capable of taking on any form they like.
I tend to back away from the alien hypothesis mainly due to my consistent analysis of English cases pre 1976, which tend to emphasis a more direct link with military, normally RAF or MoD. Looking at American reports seem to emphasise a more alien account, and it is here when the issue becomes confusing. It would surely be a lot easier for the government to make use of the MIB, instead of spending copious amounts of time and money necessary for carrying out such widespread operations against people seeing lights in the sky. However there is clear evidence, which will be discussed later on, in which witnesses to UFO’s or even top secret government projects have been severely harassed. Much has been born out of this myth, and I feel that around the 1960′s, the US government was able to use some of the personnel from the Air Force Special Activities Centre(AFSAC), and ‘disguise’ them as MIB. Even Mothman(see The Mothman Prophecies by John A. Keel) was part of the MIB myth, and thus their identity becomes ever more tightly kept due to the natural progression that we do nothing to halt proceedings; MIB are natural to human folklore.
Part 2: Common characteristics of the modern day MIB
While most MIB reports tend to highlight the fact that MIB may be of some oriental origin, the detraction is made through the association that MIB always come in threes. Is this irrelevant? Why? Maybe due to the fact that transmogrification takes place, and size/quantity/appearance is irrelevant, in that what you see is what you get, but not necessarily what you want! The classic conception of an MIB is a man of indefinite age, medium height and dressed completely in black. He always has a black hat and often a black turtleneck sweater. They present an appearance often described as “strange” or “odd”. They speak in a dull monotone voice, “like a computer”, and are dark; complete with high cheekbones, thin lips, pointed chin, and eyes that tend to look oriental like. Often when quizzed as to who they are, they say they are salesman, telephone repairman(even though your phone is not broken) or representatives from official(ie RAF) groups or an unofficial UFO group. Their mode of transport differs whether you are in America or England. In America they are often seen driving Buicks or Lincolns(black); it seems to be only the films that portray the MIB using black cadillacs. In England, the cars are normally Jaguars. It is also important to state that not all reports of MIB are that describing a meeting with men of oriental features; some have included men with very Aryan features, with distinguishing blond hair.
A classic MIB case could be highlighted by the 1978 West Kirby case in Liverpool, England. Here the witness JW has described the classic features of the MIB, and seems to suggest some ulterior motive as to why they came in the first place. It seems usual; JW had seen a UFO, and was shortly visited by two men in black (more men were seen sitting in the car), one of which confronted JW, a teenager at the time. “You’d better run on home” said one of the men. The other man who was with our witness said “It’s alright he is with me”, and they both then walked away from the men in vehicles. Our witness described the man who got out of the car as dressed in dark blue or black, and stranger still, he appeared to be wearing makeup in the form of lip foundation. This has occurred before(lipstick on MIB), but mainly in American reports(e.g. 1976 Maine). If this was not strange enough JW has no memory of the man’s lips moving as he was talking. The descriptions that he gives is remarkably similar to other accounts since the 1950′s of the men in black. The MIB’s are renowned for visiting UFO witnesses and are often keen in trying to encourage the witness to say nothing of their account. Also many MIB reports state that the men were wearing large hats(often too big for them), however the 1978 West Kirby MIB, had no such headgear.
A case that has come of light fairly recently, is that of William Shearer, whose case is being thoroughly investigated by Ufology and Supernatural Studies(01206 286543-Paul Joslin), led by Barbara Fennell and Paul Southcott. On Monday 19th January 1997(4 days after his UFO incident in Essex) Shearer had returned from work and gone to bed as usual. His wife and daughter had popped out, so he had the house to himself. Unable to settle, he came downstairs for a drink, and thought he heard a faint knock at the door. Sure enough, as Shearer approached the door he could see the outline of a tall man through the glass. Shearer opened the door and was faced with a strange sight. The man was around 6’4″, and dressed in a dark grey suit and full length coat. He wore a brilliant white shirt(many other reports have suggested that MIB wear a ‘new’ type of fabric) and a red tie, and was holding a brimmed hat. Another similarly dressed man was standing behind Shearers’ wife’s car, and appeared to be looking up and down the road, as if to see if anyone was coming. The first man said “Can I speak to you please?” His voice was very deep, and seemed to Shearer to be coming from his chest rather than his mouth. At this stage, the man’s gaze was lowered to the floor so Shearer could not see his face. Shearer assumed the men were Jehovah’s Witnesses and replied “No, I’m not dressed”. The man persisted, and asked again to speak to Shearer, who again declined and asked him to come back later. When the man lifted his head and looked straight at Shearer his first impression was that the man was very ill, as he looked deathly pale. In contrast, the stranger’s lips seemed to be tinged red, as if he were wearing lipstick (how can they get it so wrong for so long??). Again the man spoke, this time asking to come in. Shearer stood his ground. After to looking at the second man, the first finally relented and said okay, they would be back later. On reflection, Shearer states that it was “almost as if the two men were talking to each other, but I couldn’t hear them” as the second man kept looking at the first and either nodding or gesturing in some way. The men walked towards their car – which was black and according to Shearer “like something straight out of a gangster movie, yet it looked brand new”.
Throughout many of the MIB reports I have studied many MIB car number plates are never traceable, and many never existed in the first place – what are the chances of making up a number plate and it being the only one in existence? Shearer also noticed that the men walked awkwardly, as if they were suffering from arthiritis. Shearer was only convinced that these men were the infamous MIB when told by Paul Southcott of USS, until which time he was adamant that they were religious types. On 12th February, Shearer received another visit, this time while he was at work. He got to meet with the MIB at 1:15 am when he heard a knock on the door. The MIB were slightly smaller than the one he had spoken to before, and Shearer immediately knew it was the one standing by his wife’s car on their previous visit. Again he was dressed in the dark suit and coat and wore a hat. This time the MIB asked to speak to Shearer by name, and specified that they wanted to talk to him about his UFO sighting, giving exact date and times. Shearer was baffled as to where he had got this information, but refused to let him in. Shearer asked for the mans name and ID, but the MIB ignored him and repeatedly asked to come in. Shearer states that it was almost as if the MIB could only utter a selection of set phrases, since he kept repeating the same questions over and over again, ignoring Shearer’s own questions. On this occasion, Shearer was able to get a closer look at the MIB’s face, and realised he had no facial hair at all – no eyebrows, eyelashes, or signs of stubble. The visit lasted for about two minutes, and then the office phone rang. Shearer turned to pick up the phone to hold, and turned back, the MIB was gone
Since the night of Shearer’s sighting, all the video equipment in his office building has been malfunctioning for no apparent reason. Since the MIB visits, Shearer has had problems with his phone lines(very very common in reports both in America and England). Clicking sounds can be heard on calls he receives after 4pm, and on many occasions he will pick up the phone only to find out there is no-one at the other end. British Telecom are at a loss, so they say. On the 26th March 1997, Shearer’s phone, was completely out of order. No other lines in the area were affected. At the time of writing, he is still waiting for an explanation from BT.
Part 3: MIB & Black helicopters
Occasion permits oneself to see some sort of connection between the Men In Black and these mysterious black helicopters that seem to be plaguing our skies, but it is far more complex than the colour match! If we are to presume an existence that is ‘alien’ to us but having a connection with earth far greater than we could imagine, we start to understand a little of the origin of what I like to refer to as the “original MIB”. The same sort of theories are being attached to reasons behind the appearance of unmarked dull grey/green/black helicopters, mysteriously hovering over people’s back gardens. A number of reports state that witnesses who have caught a glimpse of the pilots of these strange craft are that of oriental origin, and thus a familiar pattern starts to build up. But this shows now direct correlation, until we look at the behaviour and timing of the black helicopter sightings.
We know that MIB are notorious for making an appearance after someone believes they have seen a UFO, and it is from this we can understand a little behind this timing of events and the occurrence of the black helicopters – the majority of mysterious helicopter sightings suggest that the primary witness has seen a UFO, but what must be determined is how ‘knowledge’ of these facts are ‘leaked’ out. The co-existence theory explains a little as to how the MIB can be so knowledgeable about a primary witness(for example, MIB have been known to recall memories that only the witness would have known), but this is where a sharp dividing line is drawn when looking for similarities between the MIB and black helicopter sightings. What has been seen is some form of remote viewing being associated with the helicopters gaining ‘special’ information; more precisely this can be broken down when hearing witnesses explaining seeing one of these helicopters while at the same time having files downloaded from her computer. Is there a connection, and if so how can this be determined? What is more pleasing to the researcher is the fact that we see some need being built up between the two ‘organisations’ if you like, to gain this special information and it is this that ties the two phenomena together. It is receipt of this knowledge that enables the MIB to gain such a superior advantage over their human counterparts. Without the ability to ‘co-exist’ and being able to listen but be seen only when it suits them, the MIB would not be associated with UFO phenomena to such a large extent. It is in essence the very basis of their unknown quantity that allows them to stay as outsiders, but involved in everything we do. One must stop short of trying to empathise with something that will never be fully understood and perhaps try to concentrate on the knowledge we do have about the MIB.

Date: December 2, 1974 Location: Frederic, Wisconsin, United States
Farmer William Bosak, 68, had what he termed as a hair-raising experience December 2, 1974. As he was driving home, he spotted an object on the left side of the road ahead of him. “It had a curved front of glass and inside I could see a figure with its arms raised above its head.”
Farmer William Bosak, 68, of rural Frederic, Wisconsin (Polk County, Northwest Section), had what he termed as a hair-raising experience at 10:30 p.m. on December 2, 1974. Mr. Bosak had attended a Fanner’s Co-op meeting in Frederic and was driving to his rural home southeast of Frederic when, about one mile from his farm, he spotted an object on the left side of the road ahead of him. He had been driving slowly because of patches of fog and his headlights reflected off the object so he slowed as he approached it.
“It had a curved front of glass and inside I could see a figure with its arms raised above its head,” Bosak told reporters. When later interviewed by Field Investigator Everett E. Lightner, Bosak said that the newspaper account which appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer-Press was basically accurate except that the ears on the “human” he saw inside were placed higher on the head. (See drawing accompanying this article.)
The object was standing still and appeared to be between 8 and 10 feet in height. The transparent ‘glass’ area through which Bosak could view the occupant was bullet-shaped at the top, or tapered to a peak. He had slowed nearly to a stop when he came up to the object, but then fear took over and he stepped on the accelerator and left the object behind. He said that when he did so, the inside of his car became dark and he heard a swishing sound like branches of a tree brushing against the car.
The “human,” as Bosak referred to it, had hair sticking out from the sides of its head with ears protruding out about three inches and they were shaped like a calf’s ear. It had no collar or shirt with seam in front but appeared to be clothed in something tannish-brown in color and fitted (skin-tight) like a diver’s suit. Both arms were extended above its head and hair stuck out from the outside of the arms. There was no beard, but there was hair or fur on the upper part of the body. The rest of it, from the waist down, was not visible because of the fog. The object itself was not lighted, but reflected light from the headlights of Mr. Bosak’s car.
Mr. Bosak returned to the location, the next morning, to search for any landing marks or evidence of its presence but found nothing. He said he was very frightened at the time, but the look on the face of the occupant of the craft indicated that it was frightened too. Its eyes were very large and protruding.
Bosak kept the experience to himself for nearly a month, not even telling his wife and son but finally decided to divulge the incident. A later (that night) attempt to view the area where the incident had occurred from the vantage point of his house was unsuccessful due to the fog. “I was so goldarned scared I was afraid to go out at night for a few days,” he told reporters later, and said he wished that he had had somebody with him in the car, at the time. After reflecting on the experience for a few weeks, Bosak said that he felt he did the wrong thing by speeding away from the object and “should have stopped and tried to show it I was friendly. I wish I could meet up with it again.”
Bosak, who has operated a 450-acre dairy farm east of Frederic for the past 40 years, said that prior to his frightening experience in December, he had been skeptical of stories about UFOs. “And I’m sure a lot of people are going to be skeptical after hearing what happened to me. But if people don’t believe me, I’ll take a lie detector test to prove this isn’t just something I made up.”
Mr. Lightner, who investigated the case, found Bosak to be sincere and a man with a good reputation in his community.
Crash and abduction? The Penrose “encounter” England, 1954
Location. Between Derby & Burton, Derbyshire England Date: May 13 1954 Time: 2230 On May 12 1954 at approximately 2000 Chief Petty Officer H. R. Penrose visited a public house in Derbyshire where he met a man with whom he got into conversation about his motorcar, a black Vauxhall Wyvern saloon which was about a year old. The man said he would like to buy it and made a very reasonable offer. Cdr. Penrose was undecided, however, and said he would think the thing over before meeting him in the same public house the following evening. Meeting as arranged the next evening, he told his acquaintance that he was still undecided, whereupon he was invited to the man’s house for tea. When they got there they found a sit-down meal prepared for them by the man’s wife. Cdr. Penrose remembers thinking they were an ordinary English couple, although a little smaller than average. After chatting awhile he told his hosts that he had decided against selling the car, and he then took his leave at about 2230. His journey home took him along the main Derby-Burton Road, in the direction of Birmingham. Suddenly, he said, a bright light appeared, heading towards him. He describes what followed: “As it reached my position I experienced what seemed to be a crash and I was thrown forward against the windscreen. Then the car seemed to be lifted from the ground and I was moving through the air with a bright light above me. The next thing I remember was when I recovered consciousness in the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary where I had had stitches in a cut in my forehead.” The commander went on: “I remembered a strange occurrence which must have taken place immediately after my crash. At that moment the car was perched on some iron railings, and I recollect being lifted from it by a man in a one-piece suit. He seemed to lift me effortlessly into an entrance on the underside of a large round vehicle which was hovering above us and giving out a bright light.” Cdr. Penrose says he was taken into a room which had controls in it and other, similarly dressed “men” were operating these. These were male and female beings—distinguishable by their shapes—who had similar short hair styles, and whose facial expressions “did not appear unusual.” The witness says he was asked questions about his naval experiences and his work with radar, while he countered with questions about their vehicle and its associated engineering. He also suggests that the method of communication between them was of a “telepathic nature,” and adds that when he attempted some hypnotic regression, to which they seemed to ‘become very confused’ a woman injected some green fluid into his arm after which he remembered no more. When questioned by police officers after the accident Cdr. Penrose says he was aware that a passing RAC driver had found him concussed, sitting in the driving seat of his car, perched on railings by the entrance of the Hilton Gravel Works. After his discharge from the hospital, and puzzled by the event, he returned to the scene of the accident hoping to trace witnesses. His only success in this respect was to find a railway signalman who said he’d seen the car, with an extremely bright light above it, go past his signal box, and at about the same level. It was also learned that he was kept in hospital for “some months” following the incident, his injuries being cuts on the top of his head and about the face. He also suffered some loss of memory. After leaving the hospital he took one of the nurses out socially as a gesture of thanks for looking after him. He discovered from her that a senior police officer had attempted to interview him while he was in hospital, but was refused permission to do so by the doctors. He learned too that the police interest arose from the abnormally large amount of blood in the vehicle. This, it seems, was far more than could have been expected from the type of injuries sustained by Commander Penrose, and it was thought that another person may have been in the car. However Penrose was adamant that he was alone in the car.
C'est vrai qu'il y a peu de nouvelles importantes actuellement, à part les déclarations sensationnelles du Canadien Paul Hellyer, cent fois répétées, et probable désinfo amplifiante, mais on continue à enregistrer pas mal d'observations à travers le monde. Récemment, l'Américain Peter Davenport, qui continue à recueillir ces observations tous les jours, a signalé une forte augmentation en janvier, de l'ordre de 600 cas au lieu de 2 à 300 habituellement. On peut s'en faire une idée, par exemple, en lisant le bulletion du Major Filer "Filer's File" , publié tous les huit à dix jours. On peut le recevoir gratuitement sur internet.
Une nouvelle quand même, pour la francophonie : le livre de Leslie Kean "OVNIS. Des généraux, des pilotes et des officiels parlent" est enfin paru en librairie. Voici quelques citations, reprises de la 4ème de couverture et de ma traduction pour ma conférence de la semaine dernière à Paris. Notamment cinq généraux d'aviation, affirmant non seulement la réalité de ovnis mais favorables, peu ou prou, à l'hypothèse extraterrestre.
Cela va-t-il susciter un petit buzz médiatique ? J'ai bien peur que non, vu l'ambiance actuelle de scepticisme et de ricanements tous azimuths.Bof ! Rigolons plutôt en écoutant grand journal de Canal Plus. Mais c'est pourtant cette chaîne qui a fait un bon reportage (qui repassait encore samedi dernier sur la petite chaîne Numéro 23 : "Ovnis Quand l'armée enquête"). Donc ce n'est pas "joué" dans les médias.

Livre de Leslie Kean « OVNIS. Des généraux, des pilotes et des officiels parlent - Citations
1) Textes de la quatrième de couverture
« La réalité objective des phénomènes aériens non identifiés, mieux connus dans le grand public sous le sigle OVNIs, ne fait plus de doute. Le climat de soupçon et de désinformation, pour ne pas dire de dérision, qui entoure trop souvent la collecte de témoignages, illustre une forme surprenante d’aveuglement intellectuel. »
Yves Sillard, ancien Directeur général du Centre national d'études spatiales français (CNES)
« Il est temps de chercher à comprendre ce que sont ces objets apparemment intelligents surgissant dans notre ciel et dont la réalité est confirmée par de multiples sources. »
Jean-François Clervoy,astronaute de l’Agence spatiale européenne (ESA).
« Ce livre lève clairement le tabou sur la croyance largement répandue, et pourtant infondée, qu’il n’est pas possible d’aborder sérieusement le sujet des ovnis. Leslie Kean apporte une analyse rationnelle sur les informations les plus pertinentes, dont beaucoup sont présentées ici pour la première fois avec des détails fascinants. »
John Podesta,ancien Chef de cabinet du Président Bill Clinton à la Maison Blanche (1998 - 2001).
« Enfin, un livre sérieux et réfléchi sur ce sujet controversé. Les sceptiques et les convaincus vont y trouver un trésor d’informations pénétrantes et ouvrant les yeux. Ce livre va être un étalon de référence pour la recherche sur les OVNIS. »
Michio Kaku PhD.Auteur de Physics of the Future (« Physique du futur »).

Général de Brouwer (Belgique)
(chap 1) (cité par Leslie kean)
« J’aborde la question des PAN de manière pragmatique. Je m’en tiens aux faits et j’évite des extrapolations sur de possibles activités extraterrestres, » m’a répondu le général De Brouwer dans un email. « Cependant, j’encourage la recherche scientifique, qui devrait être fondée sur une analyse objective de nombre d’observations rapportées pendant la vague belge. Une telle recherche ne devrait pas exclure l’option extraterrestre. »
(chap 2)
La conclusion la plus importante est qu’il a dû y avoir des activités aériennes d’origine inconnue dans l’espace aérien de la Belgique. Le nombre de cas et la crédibilité de la grande majorité des témoins nous laissent face à un mystère intriguant.
Général Parviz Jafari (Iran) (chap 9)
A ce jour, je ne sais pas ce que j’ai vu. Mais ce n’était sûrement pas un avion ; ce n’était pas un objet volant comme peuvent en fabriquer les hommes sur Terre. Il volait beaucoup trop vite.
En tout cas, j’espère qu’un jour nous développerons une telle technologie de sorte que nous pourrons facilement visiter aussi d’autres planètes et voir ce qui se passe autour de nous.
Yves Sillard (chap 12)
Et finalement, espérons que nos efforts conjugués inspireront des esprits sans préjugés à considérer l’hypothèse extraterrestre avec le sérieux et la rigueur qu’elle mérite, aussi longtemps qu’aucune autre interprétation crédible n’aura été formulée.
Général Denis Letty (chap 13)
Le Rapport COMETA montre, d’une manière franche, que l’hypothèse extraterrestre estl’explication la plus rationnelle, bien que, évidemment, elle n’ait pas été prouvée.
Général Ricardo Bermudez (Chili) (chap 19)
Personnellement, selon mon meilleur jugement, je suis en accord avec les positions du rapport COMETA français. Il y a une haute probabilité que les ovnis sont d’origine extraterrestre.
Général Carlos Pereira (Brésil) (chap 20)
Les indices montrent que des phénomènes inexpliqués se produisent, et cela conduit beaucoup d’entre nous à croire à la présence de vaisseaux spatiaux alien visitant la planète Terre. Cependant, tirer des conclusions sur ce que sont ces choses est dangereux car nous n’avons pas assez de connaissances pour le faire. Je crois que la science a beaucoup de travail à faire pour identifier et expliquer le phénomène.
Fyfe Symington, ancien gouverneur de l’Arizona (chap 25)
Entre 20 h et 20 h 30, le soir du 13 mars 1997, durant mon second mandat de gouverneur de l’Arizona, j’ai été témoin de quelque chose qui défiait la logique et mettait en question ma perception de la réalité : un vaisseau massif, en forme de delta, naviguant silencieusement au-dessus de Squaw Peak, dans le parc montagneux proche de Phœnix.
Opinion de Symington sur le secret selon Leslie Kean (chap 24)
Aujourd’hui, Symington tend à être d’accord avec Barry Goldwater que notre gouvernement retient de l’information secrète sur les ovnis. « Si nous avions mis la main sur un véhicule spatial très avancé avant qui que ce soit d’autre, vous pouvez être certain que nous le garderions jalousement et travaillerions dessus, et que nous serions intéressés par cette technologie avancée. C’est une idée aussi valide qu’une autre pour expliquer pourquoi cela resterait secret, » dit-il.
3) La lettre du général Twining de septembre 1947, telle que citée dans le livre
«Le phénomène rapporté est quelque chose de réel, et non imaginaire ou fictif … Les caractéristiques opérationnelles rapportées, telles que des vitesses ascensionnelles extrêmement rapides, la manœuvrabilité (en particulier en roulis), et des actions qu’il faut considérer comme évasives lorsqu’ils sont vus ou contactés par des avions et radars amis, mènent à croire à la possibilité que certains de ces objets sont contrôlés, soit manuellement, soit automatiquement ou à distance. »
Witnesses in Missouri and California reporting separate events on February 11, 2014, both describe helicopters chasing UFOs, according to testimony today in cases 54029 and 54034 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
A Missouri witness in Lone Jack was watching television at 6:01 p.m. Central Time, February 11, 2014, when the sound of a “loud helicopter thundering” overhead was heard. He immediately moved to a window facing south and looked outside.
“I saw a black military attack helicopter hauling ass just over my house at or below 300 feet from my roof top,” the witness stated.
But then the witness noticed a second object in the sky.
“It was going east to west and then immediately turned south towards a thin, dark gray, disk object that had a white light modulating from it. The disk appeared less than a mile away heading north when it was as if the helicopter spooked it and it simply made an abrupt left turn heading northwest at an amazing speed towards Kansas City, Missouri.”
The witness observed that the military helicopter was not able to catch up to the disc-shaped object.
"With the black military attack helicopter turning very hard 'almost vertical' around heading northwest in pursuit of it - whatever the object was - it definitely had the ability to out run the military helicopter and disappeared from sight."
Then two hours and 24 minutes later - in Anaheim, California - a witness was inside at a computer at 6:25 p.m. Pacific Time on February 11, 2014, when the sound of a loud helicopter was heard. The witness ran outside to a backyard facing west.
"I saw that the ground in the backyard was lit up pretty good," the witness stated. "I say 'lit up' because it was dark out and we have a patio cover so the sky is somewhat blocked."
But the witness was surprised to see two objects moving overhead.
"As I went out the sliding back door to my right I immediately saw an orb-like, star-shining object that was being chased by a helicopter."
The witness watched the scene.
"The helicopter did have its search light on so I'm guessing that's what the light was. So when I looked up I didn't even see the helicopter at first - all I saw was a bright white orb and then the helicopter. That's how low the two were. I viewed the helicopter chasing the orb (orb made no noise) from the west going toward the east."
The witness was fascinated with the objects.
"I was in awe on just how low these two were in the sky and on how the orb was just so bold and solid and brilliant. It was like a star passing by right in front of me. The helicopter had its blinking red and white lights on with the search light, but when the helicopter shined the light on the orb, it kept going out, or so it seemed."
The witness watched both objects move off into the distance.
"I viewed these two flying toward the east, way off into the distance, and kept viewing for as long as I could when the orb suddenly disappeared for 2 to 4 seconds and then reappeared for another 20 seconds and then disappeared again."
MUFON receives reports every year from around the country where a military jet or helicopter appears to be following or chasing a UFO.
"These types of incidents are certainly something we watch for," said MUFON Executive Director Jan C. Harzan, reached today at his Newport Beach, CA, headquarters office. "Some of the more important historical UFO events include a military presence. And in a small number of cases nationally, we do have reports where a witness will encounter a UFO and then see what appears to be a military jet or helicopter coming into the same airspace. Witnesses in these cases typically report that the military vehicle appears to be chasing the UFO. It is definitely something we watch for because it supports the reality that we believe the U.S. government still investigates UFOs."
Lone Jack is a city in Jackson County, MO, population 1,050. The Missouri incident was Case 54029. Missouri has a UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of recent reports. Missouri was the 10th highest reporting state with 19 reports in January 2014 - while California had 102 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation. Anaheim is a city in Orange County, CA, population 336,265. The California incident was Case 54034. No images or videos were included with either case.
Recent reports of low flying UFOs from around the country include:
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page.
The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or man-made. If Missouri and California MUFON investigate and report back on these cases, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
L'espace a toujours fasciné l'homme, curieux de savoir ce qui s'y passe et même, peut-être ? - d'y trouver un jour d'autres formes de vie. Malgré les progrès, le ciel reste un milieu hostile dans lequel il est souvent risqué de s'aventurer, quand ce n'est tout simplement pas possible à cause de distances bien trop grandes à parcourir. Cependant, la technologie a permis de mettre au point des appareils et robots, les sondes spatiales, capables d'assurer son exploration et sa surveillance. Cet épisode en explore tous les secrets.
US scientists are searching for alien life forms on Earth
US scientists are searching for alien life forms – on Earth
Some U.S. scientists are helping search for evidence of alien life not by looking into outer space, but by studying some rocks right here on Earth.
Some of the rocks are up to 3.5 billion yearsold. The scientists are looking for crucial information to understand how life might have arisen elsewhere in the universe and guide the search for life on Mars one day.
“There’s a story always hidden in rocks,” said geoscientist Clark Johnson, the lead investigator for the Wisconsin Astrobiology Research Consortium. “… It’s up to (geologists) to be clever enough to find the tools that we need to interrogate those rocks to find what story they preserve.”
The University of Wisconsin-Madison project is funded through the U.S. space agency NASA, which provided a $7 million, five-year grant that started in January. It was the group’s second five-year, $7 million grant.
The consortium has been tasked with finding footprints of biological activity, or biosignatures, which are substances such as elements or isotopes that show evidence of ancient life. The scientists are looking for microscopic signs of life, including microbes, which are bacteria, and other tiny, one-celled organisms that are much more adaptable than more complex organisms.
The team is also sending microbes into Earth’s orbit on the
here” href=”http://www.etupdates.com/tag/international-space-station”>International Space Station to see howtheyreact to radiation and a space environment.
In the process, they are learning more about Earth’s history. They’ve found new details of microbial life that dates back 2 billion to 3 billion years, before the planet’s atmosphere contained oxygen. They’ve found that microbes then relied more on iron than sunlight for energy.
Eventually their work will be used to interpret data beamed back from Mars by the six-wheel spacecraft Curiosity, which landed in August on a two-year mission to determine whether the environment was ever favourable for microbial life. Their work will also be used to prepare for future Mars missions.
“It may be that planets spent a long time in a microbial lifecondition and then only rarely evolved to advanced multicellular complex life,” Johnson said. “That’s one of the hypothesis we would test.”
Edward Goolish, acting director at the NASAAstrobiology Institute, said the project supports one of NASA‘s major goals to find life or the potential for life elsewhere.
The project’s results will provide a quantitative understanding of how life is preserved, he said.
“At the same time (Johnson’s team is) contributing an immense amount to the understanding of life on Earth, which is equally important to astrobiology and science in general,” he said.

Russians believe meteor strike could have been UFO or Gods message
Russians believe meteor strike could have been UFO or God’s message
A recent newspaper poll found that nearly half of its readers believe that the meteor strike in Russia could be anything from a divine message to UFOs to a US weapons test.
A survey published by the fairly staid Moscow daily Noviye Izvestia found that barely half its readers believe the official report that the blast was caused by a meteor.
According to the newspaper, the other half prefer to believe in an assortment of bizarre explanations, including that the blast was a secretUS weapon test, an off-course ballistic missile, a message from God, a crashing alien spaceship, or even an extraterrestrial trojan horse carrying a deadly space virus to wipe out the Earth, CS Monitor reported.
“Our people remember the Soviet past, when news of disasters was concealed or lied about,” Alexei Grazhdankin, deputy director of the Levada Center, an independent Moscow polling agency said.
“We have no scientific polls on what people think about the Chelyabinsk event last week, but it’s safe to assume the majority of Russians accept that it was a meteorite. However, our past surveys show that up to 25 per cent of Russians do believe in UFOs. A lot of our people just prefer not to accept the safe explanations they were taught at school. Even when all necessary information is available, they don’t want to believe it,” he said.
Scientists insist that they already know most key facts about 10,000-ton iron and stone meteorite — now named Chebarkul, after a city nearest to where the largest fragments landed — that exploded over the Urals city of Chelyabinsk a week ago in a dazzling fireball that released 500 kilotons, the power of 30 Hiroshima A-bombs, about 15 miles above the city.
It was the largest meteorite to make contact with Earth since the vastly more destructive 1908 Tunguskaya event, which involved an estimated 50 megaton blast that leveled an area of almost 800 square miles, and flattened 80-million trees, in a remote part of central Siberia.
For those Russians not prepared to believe in UFOs, a wide variety of other offbeat explanations are available for the Chelyabinsk event.
Russian ultranationalist parliamentarian Vladimir Zhirinovsky, with a nod to the currently strained relations between Russia and the US, has suggested that anti-Russian hardliners in the US staged a secret weapons test over Russia.
About a third of Noviye Izvestia‘s readers said they thought the meteor was actually a Russian missile test gone awry, or perhaps a falling satellite, which was covered up with the official story of a meteorite.
Inevitably perhaps, at least one leading Russian cleric has insisted that the meteor was a message from God, to remind us all of the fragility of life on this world.
And from the trade union newspaper, Trud, the cheery suggestion that the meteorite could be carrying deadly viruses from outer space, possibly the work of malevolent extraterrestrial forces.

White dwarfs may hold the key to finding alien life
White dwarfs may hold the key to finding alien life
At the end of one part of a star’s life, if it’s not massive enough to become a neutron star or black hole – which is the vast majority of stars – it will shed mass and eventually become a very dense type of star known as a white dwarf.
White dwarves are no longer capable of the nuclear fusion that sustains our Sun and most other stars. However, its residual thermal energy is enough to sustain heat for billions of years as it slowly dissipates.
Even white dwarves that areclose in age to that of the universe still retain their heat.
It’s around these slowly dying stars that astronomers now think may show the first signs of life. At least, given the limits of our current technology. That’s the conclusion of researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
“In the quest for extraterrestrial biological signatures, the first stars we study should be white dwarfs,” said theorist Avi Loeb in a CfA press release.
So far, no planets have been found in the “habitable zone” of a white dwarf star – an orbit where liquid water could exist on the surface of the planet. However, the researchers believe that a survey of 500 or so dwarf stars could discover such a planet.
Once such a planet is discovered, the next step belongs to the James Webb Space Telescope, which will launch in 2018. The JWST will have equipment on it capable of determining the chemistry of the atmospheres of alien worlds based on the how the light of its star changes as it passes through.
The benefit of studying white dwarfs, though, is that they give off less light than other types of stars.
As a result, the astronomers demonstrated in their research that the JWST should be able to detect the presence of water vapor and oxygen in an atmosphere in just a few hours of observation.
For planets around other types of stars, such as red dwarfs, observation might take hundreds of hours.
“Although the closest habitable planet might orbit a red dwarf star, the closest one we can easily prove to be life-bearing might orbit a white dwarf,” said Loeb.
Bold Prediction: Intelligent Alien Life Could Be Found by 2040
Bold Prediction: Intelligent Alien Life Could Be Found by 2040
The first detection of intelligent extraterrestrial life will likely come within the next quarter-century, a prominent alien hunter predicts.
By 2040 or so, astronomers will have scanned enough star systems to give themselves a great shot of discovering alien-produced electromagneticsignals, said Seth Shostak of the seti (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in Mountain View, Calif.
“I think we’ll find E.T. within two dozen years using these sorts of experiments,” Shostak said here Thursday (Feb. 6) during a talk at the 2014 NASAInnovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) symposium at StanfordUniversity. [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Alien Life]
“Instead of looking at a few thousand star systems, which is the tally so far, we will have looked at maybe a million star systems” 24 years from now, Shostak said. “A million might be the right number to find something.”
Many potentially habitable worlds
Shostak’s optimism is based partly on observations by NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler space telescope, which has shown that the Milky Way galaxy likely teems with worlds capable of supporting life as we know it.
“The bottom line is, like one in five stars has at least one planet where life might spring up,” Shostak said. “That’s a fantastically large percentage. That means in our galaxy, there’s on the order of tens of billions of Earth-like worlds.”
Shostak and his colleagues think at least some of these worlds host intelligent aliens — beings that have developed the capability to send electromagnetic signals out into the cosmos, as human civilization does every second of every day. So they’re pointing big radio dishes toward the heavens, hoping to detect something produced by living beings.
This search started in 1960, when pioneering astronomer Frank Drake scanned two sun-like stars with an 85-foot-wide (26 meters) West Virginia antenna. It has ramped up considerably over the past half-century, as astronomers have taken advantage of significant advances in electronics and digital technology.
However, getting enough funding to keep scanning the skies is a constant problem. For example, the Allen Telescope Array in northern California — which the seti Institute uses — was designed to consist of 350 radio dishes, but just 42 have been built to date. And the array had to go into hibernation in April 2011 due to budget shortfalls. (It came back online in December of that year after more funding was found.)
The funding situation colors any discussion of seti activities and timelines, Shostak said.
The 24-year estimate, for example, “depends on continued seti funding, which is in dire straits right now,” he told Space.com after his talk at the NIAC symposium.
A three-way race to find life in space
The search for alien life does not focus solely on technological societies, of course. Many other scientists are keying in on simple life forms, which must be distributed much more commonly throughout the universe.
The first evidence of microbial life on Earth, for instance, dates from 3.8 billion years ago — just 700 million years after our planet formed. But it took another 1.7 billion years for multicellular life to evolve. Humans didn’t emerge until 200,000 years ago, and we’ve become a truly technological species in just the last century or so.
Shostak thus views the alien life hunt as a three-way race. The contenders are researchers looking for advanced, intelligent civilizations; scientists scouring solar-system bodies such as Mars and Jupiter’s moon Europa for simple organisms; and researchers focusing on finding signs of microbial life on nearby exoplanets using future instruments such as NASA’s $8.8 billion James Webb Space Telescope, which is scheduled to launch in 2018.
The race may come down to the wire, as Shostak thinks all three approaches could bear fruit in the next few decades.
“I think any of these horses has a pretty good chance of succeeding — just my opinion — a pretty good chance of succeeding in the next 20 years, say,” he said during the NIAC talk.

THE MYSTERIES OF THE CHAUCHILLA CEMETERY by Dirk Vander Ploeg.
A few years back in October 2012 my partner and I were in Peru on tour exploring the country. After leaving the Nazca Plain we continued heading south and stopped by a very famous cemetery, discovered in the 1920s, called the Chauchilla Cemetery located in the desert peninsula of Paracas. Although the cemetery was discovered in the 20th century it had not been used for burials since the 9th century. Many of the bodies discovered were of prehispanic mummified human remains and included archaeological artefacts. More... Also read: THE MYSTERIES OF THE CHAUCHILLA CEMETERY- Part II
ARE PILOTS OF THE SPACEWAYS ULTRATERRESTRIALS? by Scott Corrales.
“We are well aware that the word humanoid is not in the dictionary;” wrote Charles Bowen, editor of the United Kingdom’s world-renowned Flying Saucer Review, “that it was coined somewhere along the line by a writer or researcher. Nevertheless it seems to suit our purpose far more than those other words of anthropology like hominid, which means kin of man (Neanderthal man was one of these) and hominoid, which means man-like ape.” These were the words that formed part of his foreword to Gordon Creighton’s anthology of cases from around the world entitled – what else? – The Humanoids (Chicago: Henry Regnery, 1969). This far-reaching book, published only a few years after it became acceptable to speak openly about the possibility of UFOs having occupants. Bowen also drops the hint that Dr. Edward Condon and his committee had access not only to The Humanoids and issues of FSR in assisting with their evaluation of the phenomenon. More...

UFO CONSPIRACIES FROM THE SHADOWY SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE by Sean Casteel.
“The Conspiracy Journal” is a venerable publication that has gone unnoticed by a huge swathe of readers who most likely would enjoy receiving a free subscription, either of the print or online editions. The print edition, which is sent through the mail several times a year, is published by Timothy Green Beckley of Global Communications and covers a wide range of conspiracy-related topics, from the UFO cover-up to government mind control efforts to covert political intrigue of all kinds. The online chores are handled by Mr. Tim R. Swartz, who, in addition to being the author of “The Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla,” co-hosts his own weekly ipod show, “The Outer Edge.” More...
BLACK PROJECTS, SATELLITES, CIA FRONTS AND SECRET MILITARY PATCHES by Norio Hayakawa.
Although people around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the United States' global geography of surveillance, covert action, and other secret programs, much of this landscape is invisible in our everyday lives. The drone war, for example, seems to happen somewhere else while surveillance programs take place among the (largely) invisible infrastructures and digital protocols of the internet and other communications networks. Moreover, the state agencies responsible for secret programs strive to make them as invisible as possible. More... Also read: AIR FORCE UNINTENTIONALLY RELEASES DISTANT PHOTO OF AREA 51 IN 2013
MORE EVIDENCE OF EARLY UFO DENIAL IN US MILITARY by Doc Vega.
Much to the apparent uninformed state of the American public, during the 1950’s a pervasive attempt by the US military was making incredible strides in conducting a cold war with the Soviet Union and trying to convince civilians that the UFO mystery was simply benign and irrelevant. Yet, another monumental effort was underway in all this. In instructing every rank from sailor to airman, from General to Bird Colonel, methods of recognition of conventional enemy weaponry was being distributed among the various branches of the armed services. However, it did not stop there. A wide ranging effort was discreetly introduced into internal military media sources to educate US servicemen on the difference between conventional aircraft and threats from the ubiquitous UFO!

MY PERILOUS JOURNEY INTO FACEBOOK LAND!by Chris Holly.
I did not have an active FaceBook page until a few months ago. I thought I would get involved to see if FaceBook would help me organize and communicate with the paranormal community in a way I had not yet looked into. At first it was going well. I was finding new friends daily. I took my time and tried to keep my friends list as a list of paranormal minded people who were interested in the subjects I am involved with. More...
TELEPATHIC ALIEN-ABDUCTEES? by Paul Schroeder.
Spending a lifetime, recalled in snippets, with highly psychic, abducting entities, has made my intuitive prowess mushroom, dramatically. Why does religion impugn psychics? There's only a razor's thin edge difference between encounters with the supernatural and psychic experiences. Most religious Fundamentalist Christians and Jews refuse to accept paranormal realities, yet they deeply accept God, Holy Ghosts, saints, Heaven, Hell, angels and demons, and one CANNOT get more paranormal and supernatural, than THAT!

DENNIS G. BALTHASER TOURS ROSWELLby Dennis G. Balthaser.
Being a long time researcher of the 1947 Roswell Incident, and now doing Roswell UFO Tours here in town frequently, I’m fortunate to be able to share my research with many people who have different perspectives of the Incident from all over the world. Many, in fact most, have heard about Roswell through one means or another, and for the most part are curious to find out more. That’s particularly true of those visitors that book the tours from foreign countries. Many of those have a deeper interest of the event than Americans, perhaps because most of us in this country have been hearing about Roswell for the past 35 years in books, radio, movies and other media outlets. All that exposure however doesn’t appear to have gotten us any closer to the truth, as we continue to seek information about what actually happened here 60 some years ago. More...

Richard Dolan Interview ~ 02/09/14 ~ Sacred Matrix ~ Revolution Radio -
Hosts Janet Kira Lessin & Dr. Sasha (Alex) Lessin interviewed Richard Dolan on the Sacred Matrix, Revolution Radio (www.freedomslips.com), Studio B on Sunday, February 9, 2014, 8 to 10 PM, Eastern Time.
RICARD DOLAN INTERVIEW on Sacred Matrix’s FreedomsLips at Revolution Radio Studio B
Researcher Richard Dolan, author of UFOs for The 20th Century Mind, tells hosts Dr. Sasha and Janet Kira Lessin, how the U.S. clandestine government created the false flag attacks at Pearl Harbor, the Gulf of Tonkin and the World Trade Center as well as the murders of President Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.
This shadow government hides the alien presence and suppresses the free energy that could free us from oil pollution and the growing radioactivity of 60+ years of nuke tests, reactor leaks and uranium shells that’ll deform Iraqi babies Iraq for millennia.
Dolan says the revolution of communication via the internet, 3D computer replication and free energy will collapse the pernicious New World Order of the secret rulers.
Richard Dolan is among the world’s leading researchers and historians of the UFO subject. He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State volumes one andtwo, as well as an analysis of the future, A.D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact. He is a regular guest on Coast-to-Coast AM radio, has also appeared on many television specials for The History Channel, SyFy, BBC, and elsewhere. Since 2012, Richard has hosted “The Richard Dolan Show,” airing on KGRA Radio every Saturday evening, from 8-11 pm EST.
In his books, articles, and many interviews, Richard has analyzed the destruction of our political liberties as a result of the UFO cover-up, the possible nature of the non-humans themselves, what their presence means for our civilization, why he believes the cover-up will end within our lifetime, and what is likely to happen after that.
Richard is near completion of another ground-breaking work: UFOs for the 21st Century Mind. Due out in mid-2013, it offers a fresh analysis of this phenomenon for a world in the midst of social and technological transformation, and may well redefine ufology in many important ways.
Richard is available for speaking engagements and media consultation. Contact him atkeyholepub@gmail.com
This is the new must-have UFO book. For beginners and experienced researchers alike, historian Richard Dolan covers the full range of this incredibly complex topic in his uniquely engaging style.Read the Introduction here.
He offers fresh insights on everything connected to UFOs: ancient aliens, modern encounters, abductions, channelers, the politics and cover-up, the black budget world, the bizarre science, the social dimensions (read YouTube and Facebook), the future, and much more.
Toward that end, Dolan gives practical insights on how to distinguish and investigate UFOs in today’s world, where we are flooded with claims and videos and data of all types.
In addition, as one of ufology’s pioneers in the deep analysis of the cover-up, he offers an original perspective on how it all works and why the cover-up, despite being so entrenched and insidious, is nevertheless bound to end. He also writes on the nature of contact, speculating on who these “Others” might be. Finally, Dolan takes the reader through the “weird science” of UFOs, covering everything from propulsion to spacetime to consciousness and more.
UFOs for the 21st Century Mind is a roadmap pointing the way forward in a field filled with uncertainty and obfuscation. In so doing, it is set to reposition an ancient phenomenon into a contemporary state of mind, reminding you just why the greatest mystery of our time is also one of the most important.

Endorsements:
“In a field that can be so confusing, so complex, Richard Dolan has taken his many years of thinking about UFOs and written a completely fresh overview of the entire subject. . . . This is an ambitious work that truly ties the many different aspects of the subject together. It’s rare to find something like this, especially considering the care and thoroughness that went into it.” – George Noory, host of Coast to Coast AM.
“As a follow-up to his previous books exploring the relationship between UFOs and the National Security State, historian Richard Dolan widens his perspective to explore all aspects of this provocative phenomenon. In this role, he takes us on a journey that brings to life the subtlety and depth of this rich subject, a truly captivating read.” –H. E. Puthoff, Ph.D., Director, Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin
“UFOs For the 21st Century Mind represents a new kind of book – one that clearly and intelligently addresses literally every aspect and implication of the most maligned, misunderstood and compelling subject in human history. Richard Dolan’s newest work is perfect reading for serious students of ufology as well as the absolute beginner. Inspired, particularly well written, and the product of a first class mind for this or any other century.” –Peter Robbins, coauthor of the U.K. bestseller, Left At East Gate: A First-Hand Account of the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident, Its Cover-up and Investigation
“This is an invaluable treatment of the known facets and seemingly endless implications regarding UFOs, with a much-appreciated focus on the human experience. A job well done, Richard.” – Sam Maranto, Investigative Researcher

In his chapter for “UFOs,” French Major General Denis Letty reports on the case of Air Force Captain Jean-Pierre Fartek, then a Mirage III pilot, who had seen a UFO in 1979.
s case was most unusual, because the sighting did not occur while he was flying, but had taken place at his home in a village near Dijon, during the day. He and his wife witnessed an oscillating object hovering low to the ground, in front of a row of apple trees. General Letty met with them at the location, and wrote this in his notes during the interview: The object looked like two reversed saucers pressed against each other” The clarity and precision of the shape of the object left no doubt that it was something solid and physical. He provided many more details, as Letty describes.
The similarities between the object described by the three Captains — Guerra,Schultz, and Fartek –- in different countries and in different years, are both suggestive and fascinating. Captain Fartek submitted a report to the Air Guard Station at the base, and he was instructed not to talk about what he saw. Letty writes that Fartek, was very upset by this experience. “He told me when we met that the sighting called into question his perception of what were then called ‘flying saucers,’ because he had never believed in them,” Letty says in his chapter. “Now, he acknowledged to me that after seeing this craft he could no longer doubt their existence. Hearing his testimony, I too did not have any more doubt about the reality of the Phenomenon.
In fact, taken together, I found the Farteks’ testimony so disturbing that I have been preoccupied by the UFO problem ever since. In 1996, after he became a Major, Commander Fartek was interviewed for the COMETA study which I initiated, and even then, after seventeen years, he was still visibly shaken by what he saw.” NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

80 Million Americans Are Certain UFOs Exist : National Geographic
Geographic Channel study finding that 80 million Americans are certain UFOs exist and that one in 10 believe they’ve spotted one.
“We wanted the pulse on people’s opinions,” says Brad Dancer, senior vice president of research and digital media for National Geographic. “We wanted to get a sense of how Americans view UFOs, what people believe and how mainstream pop culture may or may not be playing into their opinions on it.”
The results are in: Seventeen percent of Americans don’t believe UFOs exist, 36% think they do, and 48% aren’t sure.
The survey was commissioned for National Geographic Channel’s series Chasing UFOs, premiering Friday at 9 p.m. ET.
About 79% of those surveyed think the government has kept information about UFOs a secret from the public, and 55% believe there are real-life Men in Black-style agents who threaten people who spot UFOs.
So what if they stopped by? The survey shows:
22% would try to befriend the alien, 15% would run away, 13% would lock their doors, and only 2% would try to inflict bodily harm.
Nearly 65% think Barack Obama would be better suited than Mitt Romney to handle an alien invasion.
