Did World War II Technology Allow Us to Begin “Seeing” UFOs
“The Man Who Takes Us to the Future” is the blurb across the front cover of this month’s edition of Wired Magazine, featuring an article on Marc Andreessen, described as “the most influential venture capitalist in silicon valley.” Andreesson, who is credited with inventing the web browser, is featured in the piece lending his own ideas about where future technology will lead us.
No doubt, these sorts of predictions, and especially the accurate manifestations of such technologies that will later ensue, could be described as “eye opening.” And yet, we probably take for granted to a great degree just how true this may be in a literal sense. If anything, the proliferation of advanced new technologies may literally begin to “allow” humans to perceive into new depths of Forteana, just as well. There is, in fact, some empirical data to back up this premise, especially if we consider a unique possibility: that are obvious reasons the UFO era really began to take hold during and immediately after World War II.
The “Foo Fighters” being reported by both the Allies and the Axis powers during the Second World War seemed, quite obviously, to be an alarming new “enemy” technology at the outset. During the War, the pilots who had been flying what were then the most advanced aircraft on Earth had reported being dogged by strange lights and other objects; it wasn’t until after the conflict that it became certain, with little room for doubt, that these “objects” hadn’t belonged to any of the major superpowers. But if not something of apparent human design and origin, whatthen?
To answer this great question would require an almost countless number of potentials to be thoroughly considered, despite the fact that, even today, the tried and true “extraterrestrial” hypothesis still remains the most prevalent stereotype theory about UFO origins. But let’s suppose for a moment that UFO craft–whatever they may actually be–had actually been present alongside humankind for much longer? Jacques Vallee and several others have supposed such scenarios might explain various early reports of strange aerial phenomenon over the centuries, in addition to drawing parallels to a variety of different elements involving faerie tales and folklore from various traditions around the globe.
If we are indeed dealing with a technological presence that could have been running parallel to humankind for much longer than most realize, It seems very likely that World War II would have served a pivotal role of presenting great necessity for wartime innovation, which thus led to the creation of technologies that allowed us to begin to better perceive and study UFOs.
Chief among such technologies are radar systems and radiation detection apparatus. While devices used for the detection of radiation had existed already for a couple of decades by the time the Second World War broke out, Geiger counters along the lines of what we use today weren’t perfected until around 1947; coincidentally, this was the same year Kenneth Arnold claimed to witness UFOs over the Northwest as he flew over Mount Rainier, a well as the year the infamous Roswell UFO crash took place. Within the subsequent released Project Bluebook files, we certainly see mention of strange objects capable of producing large amounts of radiation. Throughout the UFO literature that would persist over the next few decades, we would often find this to be a measurable, and even dangerous quantity.
Another technology that might have allowed limited ability to “detect,” and therefore observe UFOs to some degree, would be the aforementioned radar systems. While major world superpowers had been developing radar in secret prior to WWII, again, the practical use of such systems would only be perfected during the years of conflict. History shows, as many of you have probably already surmised, that radar systems would eventually prove quite beneficial in detecting strange objects (or entire fleets of objects) that appeared to be flying overhead nearby… and yet which, rather strangely, appeared to be invisible to the naked eye! Strange though it sounds, UFO literature is rife with these very sorts of stories, which quite obviously detail an advanced technology which, as a result of our own advancing intelligence, had slowly began to move into our range of perception.
So considering that our own technological advancement over time may have literally contributed to the otherwise “timed” appearance of UFOs as a cultural phenomenon after WWII, can we expect to see technology over the next few years molding and shaping our ability to perceive other things about reality itself, and perhaps the “hidden” aspects of this existence that may already be hovering all around us? I’m often asked these sorts of questions in interviews, and the short answer is “yes.” If anything, the advanced technologies that begin to emerge over the next two decades may render it all but impossible for the existence of such things as UFOs to be denied much longer… and when that happens, what kinds of innovations could we expect to stem from the potential for interaction with an intelligence even greater than our own? Food for thought, perhaps…
Back in January of this year, I penned an article for Mysterious Universe titledRoswell: Multiple Realities and MIB. It looked at the controversial scenario of how shifts in what we perceive as “reality” might allow for more than one theory for the Roswell affair to have merit. Granted, my article was purely speculative in nature, but it did provoke some interesting comments. It also provoked the question: exactly how many theories are there for what happened on the Foster Ranch, New Mexico in the summer of 1947? Well, the answer is: a hell of a lot! Incredibly, at least fourteen!
While some of those theories are well known – to the point of having now become legendary – others are far less so. And with that in mind, I figured it would be a good idea to acquaint everyone, once and for all, with the many and varied scenarios that have been posited for the truth behind the Roswell enigma. So, where do we start? The beginning, where else?
No-one disputes that something came crashing to earth in the wilds of New Mexico in early July 1947 – not even the world of officialdom. Indeed, history has shown that shortly after rancher Mack Brazel stumbled upon a large amount of mystifying material on the Foster Ranch (and possibly upon a number of unusual corpses, too – it has been suggested), staff at the Roswell Army Air Field issued a press-release stating that they had recovered nothing less than a “flying disc.”
Of course, this was barely two weeks after the famous UFO sighting of pilot Kenneth Arnold at the Cascade Mountains, Washington State – an event that near-singlehandedly gave birth to the “flying saucer.” Today, we have almost seventy years of “modern era” UFO reports to scrutinize – something which has allowed the extraterrestrial theory to develop and be widely embraced.
But, it’s difficult to say for sure the extent to which the concept of “flying disc = alien spaceship” was widely accepted, just barely two weeks after the Arnold affair. In other words, when the military said: “Yes, we have recovered a flying saucer,” it mayhave meant they had an extraterrestrial vehicle in their hands. On the other hand, it could also be interpreted as: “We have recovered a bunch of odd-looking wreckage that we think might be connected to those weird things in the sky people have been seeing for the last week or two – whatever they may be.”
Regardless of which scenario is correct, however, it is an undeniable fact that the recovery of a flying disc was confirmed – which is just one of the many things that make Roswell such an intriguing and enduring case. It’s also a fact that, in barely no time at all, the flying disc story was retracted and in its place the weather-balloon scenario surfaced. That’s two explanations in two days. In the years that followed, a dozen or so additional theories surfaced – some more plausible than others.
In no particular order of merit, here are the other theories that have zero to do with alien spaceships or weather-balloons:
1.An Atomic Bomb
The late Jim Keith was the author of a number of conspiracy/UFO-themed books, including Casebook on the Men in Black; The Octopus (co-written with Kenn Thomas); and Black Helicopters Over America. In a small article titled Roswell UFO Bombshell, Keith described meeting with “a longtime researcher / instructor of engineering at a school in New Mexico” who claimed to know the truth of Roswell. As for what Keith was told, it goes like this:
“According to my source, the true story behind the alleged UFO crash was that there was an accident involving a B-29 flying from the Army Air Force Base in Sandia (Albuquerque) to Roswell…my source states that either an atomic bomb or what is termed a ‘bomb shape,’ or ‘test shape,’ the shell of a nuke lacking explosives and atomic capability, and sometimes filled with concrete to add weight, was accidentally or purposefully jettisoned above Corona, New Mexico, directly on the flight path between Sandia and Roswell. Along with the bomb, metal foil used for radar jamming, termed ‘chaff,’ may have also been dropped.”
2. Underground Civilizations
In 2010, Anomalist Books published the final title from the late Mac Tonnies: The Cryptoterrestrials. Highly thought-provoking and deeply controversial in equal measures, the book focused on the idea that UFOs are not the products of alien races, but of very ancient, terrestrial people that dwell deep underground and who masquerade as extraterrestrials to camouflage their true identity.
Tonnies speculated that the Cryptoterrestrials are likely very impoverished, but utilize subterfuge, hologram-style technology, and staged-events to suggest otherwise to us. He even theorized they may have made use of large, balloon-style craft, too. And on this very matter – of the Cryptoterrestrials using balloons in covert missions – Tonnies said: “Maybe the Roswell device wasn’t high tech. It could indeed have been a balloon-borne surveillance device brought down in a storm, but it doesn’t logically follow that it was one of our own.”
3. Stalin, Mengele & Secret Experiments
Annie Jacobsen’s book, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base, created a huge wave of controversy when it was published in 2011, and chiefly for one, specific reason. The book includes a story suggesting that the Roswell craft and bodies were, in reality, the diabolical creations of a near-Faustian pact between the notorious Nazi (and “Angel of Death),” Dr. Josef Mengele and Soviet premier, Joseph Stalin.
The purpose of this early Cold War plan: to plunge the United States into a kind of War of the Worlds-style panic by trying to convince the U.S. Government that aliens were invading. And how would the plan work? By placing grossly deformed children (courtesy of the crazed Mengele) inside a futuristic-looking aircraft designed by the brilliant aviation experts, the Horten brothers, and then trying to convince the U.S. of the alien origins of both. Unfortunately for Stalin – we are told - the plot failed when a storm brought down the craft and its “crew” in the wilds of New Mexico; an event that did not lead to widespread panic, but that instead was hastily covered-up by U.S. military authorities.
4. Demons from Hell
Of all the books I have written, it’s accurate to say that the most controversial is Final Events. It deals with the work and theories of a quasi-official group within the U.S. Government that believes the UFO mystery is one of demonic origins. Yes, fork-tails, horns, fiery pits, maybe even spinning heads - that kind of thing. It must be stressed that the conclusions of the group were chiefly belief-driven, rather than prompted by hard evidence.
One of the conclusions of the group – that nicknamed itself the “Collins Elite” – was that Roswell was nothing less than a brilliant Trojan Horse. For the members of the Collins Elite, deceptive demons had, essentially, used a kind of “cosmic alchemy” to create both (A) the so-called ”memory-metal” found by Mack Brazel on the Foster Ranch; and (B) the curious bodies – or body-parts – also located on the ranch. In other words, Roswell – perceived by the Collins Elite, at least – was an ingenious ruse, a staged-crash, designed to have us believe vulnerable ETs are in our midst, when it’s really the all-powerful minions of Satan.
5. The Crash of a V-2
Although no longer active in the UFO community, Timothy Cooper provoked a wealth of controversy in the 1990s, thanks to an enormous body of allegedly leaked, and, supposedly highly secret, documentation in his possession on everything from crashed UFOs to alien autopsies, and from sinister deaths in the UFO field to alien viruses. One such document – titled UFO Reports and Classified Projects – offers a non-UFO-themed explanation for what occurred at Roswell. The relevant extract reads as follows: “One of the projects underway at that time incorporated re-entry vehicles containing radium and other radioactive materials combined with biological warfare agents developed by I.G. Farben for use against allied assault forces in Normandy in 1944. When a V-2 warhead impacted near the town of Corona, New Mexico, on July 4, 1947, the warhead did not explode and it and the deadly cargo lay exposed to the elements which forced the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project to close off the crash site and a cover story was immediately put out that what was discovered was the remains of a radar tracking target suspended by balloons.”
6. The Dummies of Roswell
When personnel at the Roswell Army Air Field announced, in July 1947, that they had recovered a crashed flying disc, one thing was 100 percent absent: any mention of bodies. And, needless to say, the body angle was also absent from the hasty follow-up explanation of a weather-balloon recovery. The body angle was also denied in the Air Force’s July 1994 report on Roswell (titled Report of Air Force Research Regarding the Roswell Incident), as the following extract shows: “It should also be noted here that there was little mentioned in this report about the recovery of the so-called ‘alien bodies.’ The wreckage was from a Project Mogul balloon. There were no ‘alien’ passengers therein.”
Three years later, however, things had changed. In a new document – The Roswell Report: Case Closed – it was stated: “‘Aliens’ observed in the New Mexico desert were probably anthropomorphic test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S. Air Force high altitude balloons for scientific research…The reports of military units that always seemed to arrive shortly after the crash of a flying saucer to retrieve the saucer and ’crew’ were actually accurate descriptions of Air Force personnel engaged in anthropomorphic dummy recovery operations.”
And, that’s where Part 1 of this article ends. In the second-part, you’ll become acquainted with an equally varied body of even more explanations for Roswell. Somewhere within this entire, confusing mess, the truth of Roswell just might exist…

Evidence Of Ancient Stone Constructions 12,000 Years Old In Peru? The stone pyramids on the sites are thought to be contemporary to the great pyramids of Giza. Unusually among Andean cities, no evidence of fortifications, or of other signs of warfare, have yet been found in the Norte Chico. The oldest known civilization in South America, as well as in the Western Hemisphere as a whole, the Norte Chico civilization - c. 3200 BC – 1800 BC – comprised several interconnected settlements on the Peruvian coast, including the urban centers at Aspero and Caral.
This massive-stone phenomenon is of course found all over the world, e. g. Stonehenge, Baalbek, Egypt and also in some of the recent underwater Atlantean discoveries. It shows a worldwide massive megalithic culture reflecting amazing powers of organization, precision, perseverance, mathematics, astronomy of our ancient people.
A unique system for tapping underground water sources was developed in the drainage of the Rio Grande de Nasca in Pre-Columbian times. This technique involved the excavation of horizontal trenches and tunnels to reach subterranean aquifers that hold water deep beneath the ground. Still in use today by the inhabitants of the valley, these tunnels, wells and trenches are known collectively as puquios.
The ancient people of Peru built water-moving and preserving technologies like the aqueducts of Cumbe Mayo(c. 1500 BCE) or the Nazca‘s underground aqueducts called Puquios (date uncertain), or the terraced gardens of the Huari. Aqueducts were also utilized by the Moche.
Another technique used to adapt the steep land of the Andes Mountains for farming was through terracing. The Chavin, the Moche, and the Incas built terraces, or flattened areas of land, into the sides of hills. The terraces reduced soil erosion that would normally be high on a steep hill. These terraces are still used in Peru. The Incans also irrigated their fields with a system of reservoirs and cisterns to collect water, which was then distributed by canals and ditches.
The need for a supplementary source of water can clearly be seen in the statistics regarding the available water resources today. Modern observations indicate that in the middle portions of the tributaries of the Rio Grande de Nasca, the rivers carry surface water only two years out of seven (Schreiber and Lancho 1995:231) When water does flow, the volume is far below that of other valley systems further to the north. Within the Nasca drainage, the southern tributaries of Aja, Tierras Blancas, Nasca, Taruga and Las Trancas have the least amount of water.
“The Aja River….has an average annual flow of only 30.27 million m3 of water, compared to 198.05 million m3 of water that flow down the Rio Grande (Onern 1971). The amount of water is simply not sufficient for the inhabitants, past and present, especially during times of drought.

1947 is known as the year of the first “wave” of modern flying saucer sightings. A study of U.S. newspapers that year documents over 832 sightings in the United States just in the thirty days between June 15, 1947 and July 15, 1947. For the entire year there were over 1,500 reports. Included on this website is a CIA report tracking saucer sightings in 1947. This report was secret and withheld from the public for decades
The Kenneth Arnold Case
This is the first key flying saucer case of modern times. As you can see from my sections, ‘Ancient Alien Sightings’ and ‘Aliens in Ancient Art’, reports of flying objects are certainly not unique to our century. However, this is the case that caught the attention of the media and re-informed the contemporary world that flying saucers existed.
The Facts
Kenneth Arnold was a private pilot and a businessman. He was also a member of the Idaho Search and Rescue Mercy Flyers and a Federal Deputy Marshall. On June 24, 1947 Arnold joined in a search mission to find a Marine Curtis C-46 transport plane that was believed to have crashed in the Cascade Mountains.
While flying at about 9,000 feet at 2:00 p.m., Arnold saw nine silver disks moving in formation directly across his flight path. He estimated them to be about twenty-five miles away. Since they were unusual, to say the least, Arnold decided to time them to estimate their speed. He checked his watch as they passed Mt. Ranier and again when they passed Mt. Adams. It took them 1 minute and 42 seconds. After landing and checking the distance between the two peaks, Arnold realized the disks had been traveling over 1,700 miles per hour! This was twice the speed of sound, and the world airspeed record in 1947 was only about 650 miles per hour!
Not only Arnold, but people flying in a nearby Douglas DC-4 also saw the flying disks. In addition, disks were seen by hundreds of people on the ground. The disks made no sound. They were completely silent. In an interview with The East Oregonian newspaper, Arnold said: “They flew like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water.”
When the Associated Press picked up the story, they called the disks “saucer-like objects.” From this, the term ‘Flying Saucer’ was officially made an integral part of the human language. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

UFO mania: (Video) Astronaut Talks About His Encounter With UFO
Leroy Chiao is not known to be a publicity seeker or a connoisseur of mind altering substances. He’s known to be a pioneering astronaut and recently decided to talk about an encounter in space that he can’t explain. UFOs are usually the stuff of movies or conspiracy theorists but in 2005, Chiao noticed something that has him wondering about “life out there.”
In 2005, Chiao was flying high as commander of the International Space Station. Living there from October 2004 until April 2005, Chiao got to see some things that he didn’t expect. While he and Russian cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov were taking a stroll outside of the ISS something caught Chiao’s attention. The two were putting together some navigational antennas 230 miles above the ground and flying at 17,000 miles an hour when something went by them, traveling even faster.
Chiao says that he saw some lights that he thought were in a line. When the lights flew by him, Chiao thought it was “…awfully strange.” Sharipov didn’t see the lights. He was looking the other way. Chiao’s experience is one of several stories that will be told on an upcoming program on the Science Channel.
One theory for Chiao’s sighting of a UFO is more down to earth than a fly by with a space ship. The lights, according to the theory, were bright lights from a fishing boat several hundred miles below the free-floating astronaut. It’s easy for many people to believe that Chiao witnessed a spacecraft. As an astronaut, Chiao doesn’t believe that there is any evidence that an intelligently controlled craft from another planet has ever visited Earth.
“I’m skeptical of claims…” said Chiao about the stories he’s heard about Earth being visited by aliens. He doesn’t just dismiss the idea out of hand. “I don’t rule it out 100 percent. I have an open mind and I do believe there’s other life in the universe.”
Another piece of photographic “evidence” of UFOs existence is an image made during the 1972 Apollo 16 moon mission. One of the shots contained in a film canister brought back by moon-hiking astronauts was an image of something that resembled a “traditional” flying saucer positioned just above the horizon.
More recently, UFO hunters believe they have found proof of a UFO streaking through the Martian sky. In an image taken by the rover Curiosity, a possible craft can be seen leaving a trail in the Red Planet’s atmosphere. An enlargement of the image, posted by UFO hunter, StreetCap1, shows a cone with a spherical top and a rounded center body. The image is one of several that people have claimed show mysterious objects.
Skeptics say that it’s more than likely just a meteor.
In May 2013, a blogger, who specializes in science, claimed to see a lizard wandering around Mars’ surface close to the rover. That claim, which was posted on one of dozens of online UFO sightings websites, got some conspiracy theorists thinking that NASA is planting life on the planet.
The rover, Curiosity, touched down on Mars on August 6, 2012. It has spent its time checking out the landscape and analyzing the geology of the planet. Costing $2.5 billion, the rover’s main goal is to see if the planet has, or ever had, the chemical makeup to support life as we know it.
While Chiao is finished being an astronaut and moved on to other careers, science fiction fans and conspiracy theorists still stand in the backyard gazing up at the stars and wondering if we’re truly alone.

The Aurora Borealis, normally only visible inside the Arctic Circle, has been seen lighting up skies as far south as Essex.
People across Britain and Ireland have been taking in some of the stunning views and sharing their photos on Twitter.
Last night, the lights were clearly visible in Glasgow, Orkney and Aberdeenshire in Scotland, at Preston in Lancashire and in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside.
:: Have you seen the lights? Send your images to news@sky.com
However, the brilliantly coloured natural phenomenon lit up skies as far south as Gloucestershire, Essex and Norfolk.
Alex Green, who was on the Norfolk Coast, said: "Clearly visible with the eye even this far south!"
Richard Wilson, from Guildford, Surrey, saw the aurora from the air. He tweeted: "Great view of the northern lights from 30,000 feet over Scotland tonight. Awesome sight!"
The fantastic display is caused by collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the Sun's atmosphere.
It comes after a major solar flare earlier in the week.
The variations in colour are due to the type of gas particles colliding.
The Northern Lights were discovered in 1621 by French scientist Pierre Gassendi, who named them Aurora - after the Roman goddess of dawn - Borealis, the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas.

Bevat Marsmeteoriet bewijs van buitenaards leven?
Bevat Marsmeteoriet bewijs van buitenaards leven?
Zijn er sporen van leven aangetroffen in een meteoriet van Mars? Een groep wetenschappers zegt dat microscopische tunnels in een stuk steen van de rode planeet lange tijd geleden kunnen zijn gevormd door organismen. De studie is gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Astrobiology.
Kleimineralen, microtunnels en koolstofrijke bolletjes in de meteoriet doen in alle opzichten denken aan soortgelijke structuren in aards basalt, waarvan algemeen wordt aangenomen dat ze het resultaat zijn van biologische activiteit. Dat zou erop kunnen wijzen dat er miljoenen jaren geleden ook leven aanwezig was op Mars.
De nieuwe studie komt 18 jaar na de aankondiging dat onderzoekers mogelijk bewijs van levensvormen op Mars hadden gevonden in een andere meteoriet, ALH 84001 geheten. De meteoriet werd wereldberoemd omdat NASA dacht dat deze meteoriet het bewijs zou zijn voor leven buiten de aarde. Veel wetenschappers zeiden echter dat de ‘microfossielen’ in de komeet waren gevormd als gevolg van abiotische factoren.
De meeste wetenschappers reageren nu ook sceptisch op de studie in het tijdschrift Astrobiology. Volgens Chris McKay van het Ames Research Center van NASA in Californië zal de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap niet concluderen dat de tunnels in de meteoriet zijn gemaakt door organismen.
De hoofdonderzoeker van de studie uit 1996, David McKay, was ook betrokken bij de nieuwe studie in Astrobiology. McKay, die vorig jaar overleed, werkte destijds in het Johnson Space Center van NASA in Houston. Het onderzoeksteam zal de 13,5 kilogram zware meteoriet Yamato 000593 blijven bestuderen. Volgens wetenschappers is de ruimtesteen 1,3 miljard jaar geleden gevormd op Mars en landde hij zo’n 10.000 jaar geleden op Antarctica. Ongeveer 12 miljoen jaar geleden moet de meteoriet bij een zware inslag op het oppervlak van de rode planeet de ruimte zijn ingeslingerd.
The National UFO ALERT Rating System has been updated for March 2014, with California, Florida, Texas, and New York moving to a UFO Alert 3 as the highest reporting states with 25 or more cases during the month of February 2014, filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
California was the leading high-reporting state in February with 59 cases, down from 102 January cases. Those states in a UFO Alert 4 category with 13 or more reports include: Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Washington, Georgia, and New Jersey.
All other states move to a UFO Alert 5 category with lower numbers of UFO activity. The Watch States – with 10 or more cases – are North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois and Oregon.
MUFON released February statistics March 1, where the total number of reported UFO sightings is listed by state. The UFO Examiner uses these statistics to rate states. The entire country was moved back to the lowest alert level – UFO Alert 5.
California takes the lead with 59 cases; Florida, 39; Texas, 29; and New York, 26.
Those states with 13 or more reports, the next reporting tier level, are a UFO Alert 4 status: Arizona, 21; Pennsylvania, 17; Michigan, 16; Washington, 16; Georgia, 15; and New Jersey, 13.
Our Watch States this month are – with 10 reports or more: North Carolina, 12; Ohio, 11; Illinois, 11; and Oregon, 10.
The sphere remains the most-reported UFO shape with 91 cases; down from 240 January cases and 141 December cases. Other shape reports include: Other, 60; Circle, 59; Disc, 52; Unknown, 51; Star-like, 46; Triangle, 45; Oval, 31; Fireball, 26; Cigar, 14; N/A, 10; Boomerang, 9; Flash, 8; Cylinder, 8; Saturn-like, 6; Egg, 5; Bullet/Missile, 5; Diamond, 4; Teardrop, 4; Blimp, 3; Cone, 2; and Cross, 2.
The object's distance from the witness includes: Less than 100 feet, 82 cases; 101 to 500 feet, 85 cases; 501 feet to one mile, 120 cases; over one mile, 120 cases; unknown, 145; and no value stated, 12.
In addition, there were “21 landings, hovering, or takeoffs reported and 1 entity observed.”
The most interesting UFO reports do not necessarily come from high reporting states – but those states with higher numbers do account for some of the most interesting evidence to study. While UFO sightings seem to pop up randomly around the country, this list is meant to offer a small insight into where Americans are filing reports.
Latest-UFO-Sightings: Indian Air Force Detects UFO In Its Radars Near India-Pakistan Border
The Indian Air Force (IAF) decided to use its Su-30MKI after detecting a slow moving unidentified flying object through its radars. The UFO was coming from International Border with Pakistan and going towards India. It came near to two civilian flights flying in that area.
According to IAF sources, they were in red alert after observing a UFO from Pakistan entering its border and came near to two civilian flights. Considering the danger of the UFO, the IAF immediately dispatch its Su-30MKI to intercept the unknown flying object.
The IAF noticed the UFO flying at 28,000 feet so, they asked the air traffic to clear the altitude between 25,000 and 30,000 feet.
Later on, the Su-30MKI described that the object looked like a weather balloon that was flying with the wind heading to the border and it returned its original position after being in the air for around 20 minutes.
The two civilian planes were Thai Airways and another foreign operator. They were flying about 10 nautical miles away from the IAF jet.
The IAF denied rumors of near miss incident involving their aircraft as they were operating in an area that was officially cleared and under a positive radar coverage.
Further investigations about the UFO incident near Indian-Pakistan border have been conducted.
As most credible UFOlogists readily admit, proving that extraterrestrial spacecraft have visited our planet is a maddeningly difficult chore.
“The hassle over the word ‘proof’ boils down to one question: What constitutes proof?” Edward J. Ruppelt, who headed the U.S Air Force’s secret investigation of UFOs in the early 1950s, once wrote. “Does a UFO have to land at the River Entrance to the Pentagon, near the Joint Chiefs of Staff offices? Or is it proof when a ground radar station detects a UFO, sends a jet to intercept it, the jet pilot sees it, and locks on with his radar, only to have the UFO streak away at a phenomenal speed? Is it proof when a jet pilot fires at a UFO and sticks to his story even under the threat of court-martial? Does this constitute proof?”
More recently, Investigative journalist Leslie Keen, author of the 2011 book “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record,” has noted that in roughly 90 to 95 percent of UFO sightings, observers turn out actually to have seen weather balloons, ball lightning, flares, aircraft, and other mundane phenomena. But another five to 10 percent of sightings are not so easily explainable, but that’s not the same as demonstrating that they are extraterrestrial in origin. Nevertheless, she argues, the hypothesis that UFOs are visitors from other worlds “is a rational one, and must be taken into account, given the data that we have.”
Here is some of the most compelling reasons that UFOs may be more than simple misidentifications of natural phenomena or terrestrial aircraft:
01-The long, documented history of sightings.
UFOs were around, in fact, long before humans themselves took to the air. The first account of a UFO sighting in America was back in 1639, when Massachusetts colony governor John Winthrop noted in his journal that one James Everell, “a sober, discreet man,” and two other witnesses watched a luminous object fly up and down the Muddy River near Charlestown for two to three hours. There are documented sightings of what were then called “airships” during the 1800s as well, such as the July 1884 sighting of a Saturn-shaped UFO (a ball surrounded by a ring) in Norwood, NY, and a fast-moving object that briefly hovered over the startled townspeople of Everest, KS in 1897.
02-Numerous modern sightings by credible, well-trained professional observers.
In Ruppelt’s 1955 book , “The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects,” he documented numerous instances of military service members, military and civilian pilots, scientists and other credible professionals who had observed UFOs. In one instance, Ruppelt describes the experience of a pilot of an Air Force F-86 fighter jet, who was scrambled to track a UFO and got to within 1,000 yards of a saucer-shaped object that abruptly flew away from him in a burst of speed after he fired upon it. He also mentions a 1948 UFO encounter in which two airline pilots got to within 700 feet of a UFO and saw two rows of windows with bright lights.
03- Consistencies in the descriptions of purported alien ships.
Over the decades, witnesses who’ve seen UFOs have shown remarkable consistency in the shapes and other characteristics of the objects they’ve described. In 1949, the authors of the report for Project Sign, one of the early military investigations of UFOs, identified four main groups of objects—flying disks or saucers, cigar or torpedo-shaped craft without wings or fins, spherical or balloon-shaped objects that were capable of hovering or flying at high speed, and balls of light with no apparent physical form that were similarly maneuverable. Nearly a quarter-century later, a French government investigation headed by Claude Poher of the National Center for Space Research found similar patterns in more than 1,000 reports from France and various countries. One caveat is that in recent years, reports of wedge-shaped UFOs—which bear a similarity to the latest terrestrial military aircraft—have begun to supplant some of the traditional shapes.
04-Possible physical evidence of encounters with alien spacecraft.
The 1968 University of Colorado report, compiled by a team headed by James Condon, documented numerous instances of areas where soil, grass, and other vegetation had been claimed by witnesses to have been flattened, burned, broken off, or blown away by a UFO. A report by Stanford University astrophysicist Peter Sturrock, who led a scientific study of physical evidence of UFOs in the late 1990s, describes samples of plants taken from a purported UFO landing site in France in 1981. French researchers found that the leaves had undergone unusual chemical changes of the sort that could have been caused by powerful microwave radiation—which was even more difficult to explain, considering that they found no trace of radioactivity at the site.
The Sturrock report describes in detail various symptoms reported by individuals who had encountered UFOS, ranging from burns and temporary deafness to persistent nausea and memory loss. Among the most vivid examples: Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Landrum’s young grandson Colby, who reportedly happened upona“large, diamond-shaped object” hovering over a Texas road in December 1980. All three became ill afterward; Cash, for example, developed large water blisters on her face and swelling that closed her eyes, in addition to severe nausea and diarrhea. The effects persisted for years, and she was hospitalized more than two dozen times.
Reports
Respected polls reveal that half of all adult Americans believe UFOs are real and 12% claim to have seen one.1 Credible UFO experts estimate the number of alleged sightings worldwide in recent decades to be perhaps in the millions.2
This fascination has given rise to a number of UFO religions or cults, including the Aetherius Society, the Unarius Academy of Science, and the Raelian Movement. The Aetherius Society and the Raelian Movement have claimed more than several thousand members at their peak. The Heaven’s Gate cult received wide press attention following the mass suicide of 39 of its members in 1997. The group believed that by committing suicide they would join a flying saucer trailing the Hale-Bopp comet.
The beliefs of UFO cults are centered on three ideas: (1) flying saucers are physical crafts, (2) people receive channeled messages from alien intelligences associated with flying saucers, and (3) these messages are of immense importance. These groups have an occult ancestry and engage in various occult practices.
While it may be tempting to dismiss the phenomenon as the captivation of eccentric or sectarian groups, most UFO reports come from average people. And while UFO experts estimate between 90 and 95% of all reported UFOs are either natural phenomena, hoaxes, or man-made crafts, some 5 to 10% defy such explanations.
Reasoning
Three popular explanatory hypotheses have been proffered in an attempt to explain these residual UFOs (RUFOs).
The Misidentified Hypothesis (MIH): This position asserts that if 90-95% of UFO reports have natural or human explanations then maybe all of them can be so explained. Cornell astronomer and popular science writer Carl Sagan reflected this view: “Although it is not possible to prove that all UFOs are misapprehended natural phenomena, there are no compelling reasons to believe otherwise.”3
The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH): This view states that UFOs are physical realities (literal spacecrafts) piloted by interplanetary visitors. These space aliens represent what is thought to be a vastly advanced civilization (technologically, and possibly morally and spiritually) that studies mankind, and will, at the appropriate time, make contact with humanity. Outspoken advocate of the ETH, Stanton Friedman remarks “the evidence is overwhelming that some UFOs are alien spacecraft.”4
The Interdimensional Hypothesis (IDH): This theory holds that UFOs are a real phenomenon that may exhibit physical and empirical effects, but whose origin and nature belongs not to extraterrestrial spacecraft, but to another dimension of reality beyond our time-space continuum. Sometimes described as the paranormal/occult view of UFOs, some UFO experts (especially Christian) have ascribed a demonic interpretation to this alleged extra-dimensional presence. Such leading secular UFO experts as Jacques Vallée have argued for a correspondence between the UFO phenomenon and the occult or demonology.5
Using what logicians call abductive reasoning, the best explanatory hypothesis is balanced between complexity and simplicity, is coherent, corresponds to the facts, avoids presumptions, is testable, and thus has true explanatory power. In applying this approach to UFOs it is evident that all views have their difficulties. Nevertheless, while the vast majority of UFOs have natural explanations (possibly 99%), RUFOs consistently defy a natural explanation. So the MIH does not explain all the data. The ETH, which calls for traversing vast distances of interstellar space, exhibiting behavior that violates the laws of physics, and sustaining untold numbers of spacecrafts, is scientifically, technologically, and logically untenable. The IDH also has weaknesses (physicality of reports, difficulty in validating psychic-like phenomena), but seems to offer the most explanatory power. RUFO-related phenomena strike an objective person as being real, but not physical, being deceptive in nature, and possibly malevolent in intent. Also, a biblical case can be made that RUFOs reflect a demonic influence. One should be cautious, however, about drawing any hard and fast conclusions about UFO phenomena.
Response
Christians can communicate several things when engaging the culture in UFO discussions. First, in the highly improbable event the existence of physical extraterrestrials will be proven, this development would not disprove Christianity. The Bible reveals God created all things, regardless of where they reside. The God of the Bible is not a mere Earth-based deity, but is the transcendent Lord of the entire cosmos. Second, RUFOs are for the most part a religious phenomenon and religious beliefs have real consequences, as was evidenced in the case of the Heaven’s Gate cult. And third, historic Christianity provides powerful and livable answers to life’s ultimate questions, and those answers are more convincing than anything RUFO phenomena can provide.

YOUTUBE DESC: Interpretation of the stone monuments of the ancient land of Egypt has been more or less the sole domain of what are called Egyptologists for more than 100 years. However, local indigenous knowledge, combined with observations by engineers, geologists, physicists and other experts are presenting a new story; that Ancient High Technology existed before the pharaohs
Even though many folks may somewhat feel that they cannot trust our government on many (or, most) issues, at least on this particular issue, it is my feeling that the White House (office of Scienceand Technology Policy), to the best of its knowledge, is telling the truth when it stated (in 2011):
(QUOTE)
“The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race.
In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public‘s eye.
Many scientists and mathematicians have looked with a statistical mindset at the question of whether life likely exists beyond Earth and have come to the conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and trillions of stars in the universe there is a planet other than ours that is home to life.
Many have also noted, however, that the odds of us making contact with any of them – especially any intelligent ones - are extremely small, given the distances involved.
But that’s all statistics and speculation.
The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.”
(UNQUOTE)
I also totally agree with my colleague, Tomas Scolarici who said:
“The UFOphenomenon is not a threat to our security.
The same phenomenon neither was a threat for the Sumerians or Romans, or Indians”.
“There is no such thing as a cover-up, and the authorities know as little about the nature of the UFO phenomenon as ourselves.
They learned however that the UFO phenomenon is not a threat for our Security”.
(Despite the often reported “mischievous”, “oppressive”, “tricky”, “deceptive” nature of the phenomenon, in addition to their rather “primitive” modus operandi, such as their alleged “abductions” of humans, definitely not a sign of any physical visitation of highly advanced, intelligent civilizations from outer space……in fact, it almost seems to me that it all tantamounts to “demonic activity” of some kind and, if so, the government would not touch it with a 10 foot pole!! ).
“Many UFO reports seem to pertain more to accounts of poltergeist and….psychic manifestations….I cannot accept the ‘obvious’ explanations of UFOs as visitors from outer space“ - Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Scientific Advisor to the U.S. Air Force.
“An impressive parallel can be made between UFO occupants and the popular conception of demons“ -
“Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomenon that have long been known to theologians and parapsychologists” - Lynn E. Catoe, Library of Congress Senior Bibliographer.
Perhaps these could be the reasons why the government cannot officially make any comments, aside from the likelihood that they are unwilling to make any statement that goes beyond our present knowledge of empirical science, going into such areas as “paranormal phenomena” and “religious manifestations” (including “beliefs”).
Could the phenomenon be a momentary, holographic intrusion from some type of a “parallel s or intelligence”?
Could it be some form of “time-slip”, interdimensional “accident”?
We just don’t have the answers.
And the government is not in the business of going into these areas!
Could the entire phenomenon be some form of religious manifestations or religious manipulations by a power which we cannot comprehend simply by physical pursuit, a power which apparently is capable of presenting an “instant” (but only temporay) “appearance” or “illusion” of being a physical phenomenon to the observer?
If so, then the government will never make any statement of that nature.

UFOs chased by military planes above Texas in 1983

UFOs chased by military planes above Texas in 1983
We recently received an email from someone who witnessed an interesting high speedchase in 1983. The events took place in Roanoke, a town in Denton County, Texas and part of the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex.
The witness remembers driving to work at 4 or 5 AM (this was in 1983, so exact details may be a little blurry) and noticing “these swiftly dancing whiter than white objects”. While trying to get a grip and figure out what was happening, “military jets appeared out of no where”. “That was the scary” remembers the witness. The mysterious jets were loud and they were flying low.
Our witness is sure that they were after the UFO. They didn’t succeed in their attempt to get close to the UFOs, “the crafts took off at a higher speed then the 3 jets”. We do not have any pictures or videos of the events. Here is the full, unedited part of the submission that was published: It was approximately 4-5 am, driving to work, I sighted these swiftly dancing whiter than white objects (sometimes hovering) lights in the sky.
It seemed about 1 mile or less above. By the time I could get a handle on ‘these are UFO‘s’…. Military jets appeared out of no where! That was the scary, then curious part……extremely loud and extremely low. Faster then 2 blinks of an eye it was all over. They obviously where after the crafts, 4 of them I think. The crafts took off at a higher speed then the 3 jets.
Fasinating to say the least!! I was quite stymied the entire day and never said, ‘hey, guess what I saw on the way to work today’?
The story was submitted to us at UFO Spottings. Florin – UFO DIGEST
