Airline Pilot Photographs Three Bright Large UFOs Over Ocean
Airline Pilot Photographs Three Bright Large UFOs Over Ocean
While flying over Pisco, Peru, we noticed 3 very bright large objects. They were not moving much. They passed by us at a distance of 20-30 miles at approximately 20,000 feet. We were at 31,000 feet. There were 4 crew members on our B767-300ER. All noticed it. There also was a Mexicana Airliner overhead that noticed the objects as well.
Date of sighting: February 26, 2004
Location of sighting: Pisca, Peru
Date Posted: 3/16/2004 10:27:30 PM
Day/Night: Nighttime
Duration: 10 mins.
No. of Witnesses: 6
No. of Object(s): Multiple
Full Description and Details
They were to large to be ships. They were over the ocean and very bright. We called the local air traffic controllers in Lima and they did not see them on radar.
Witness Background: AIRLINE PILOT. RATED ON B737 B757 B767
Is it possible that there could be an entirely different history of human spaceflight than what the public generally believes? This presentation initially covers the bizarre encounters between Apollo 10 and the eerie “Music” heard behind the far side of the Moon, as well as the tracking of multiple UFOs (aka: Nephilim) that follow the Apollo 10 spacecraft and appear under intelligent control.
The film also explores the possibility that NASA has known for some time about an extraterrestrial presence on the Moon and Mars – and the ancient structures and artifacts they’ve left behind. Images and video footage from lunar and martian spacecraft reveal tantalizing evidence of unusual structural and vehicular objects on and around other worlds. A strange, unidentified craft seen by both Apollo 10 and Apollo 11, as well as vector and velocity changing UFOs (Nephilim) seen by the ISS, are also presented.
Is it possible that the Nephilim not only travel to Earth but make their presence on the moon and Mars? Does the evidence point to a secret space program? Do these organizations know what humanity has always wondered? We’ll, you judge….
Object starts off quite translucent as it comes into view, and then becomes more solid and defined.
This could indicate the object is a dimensional craft, phasing into our reality from an alternate one. This of course is only an opinion, but please note, sightings of these ring shaped UFOs are increasing, some are quite small, and others, especially ones seen around the sun are massive, only question is what are they?
Explosive New INFO UFO Videos and Photos Submitted By Ed While Skype Interview Exclusive With Thirdphaseofmoon Along With Aqua~Thumbs Up For More Updates From Ed! Sorry for the lame Skype audio will try and get a better interview with him in the future…
Het aantal bekende planeten die rondom andere sterren cirkelen, is in één klap gigantisch toegenomen. Zo heeft men in gegevens afkomstig van de Amerikaanse Kepler ruimtetelescoop maar liefst 715 nieuwe zogeheten 'exoplaneten' ontdekt. Hierdoor staat de teller op bijna 1 700 gekende planeten rondom andere sterren.
De meer dan 700 exoplaneten werden ontdekt aan de hand van een analyse van gegevens die tussen mei 2009 en maart 2011 werden verzameld door de Kepler planetenjager. De reden waarom men nu een zeer groot aantal exoplaneten heeft ontdekt, ligt aan een nieuwe techniek die men heeft toegepast. Deze techniek, genaamd ‘verification by multiplicity‘ (verificatie door veelvuldigheid), is eigenlijk niets meer dan een statistische truc. Doordat deze nieuwe techniek werd toegepast op slechts een deel van de data afkomstig van Kepler ruimtetelescoop verwachten wetenschappers in de nabije toekomst nog meer ontdekkingen. De 715 werelden die nu werden ontdekt, cirkelen rond 305 verschillende sterren waardoor het meestal gaat om stelsels die bestaan uit meer dan één planeet. Sommige van deze planetenstelsels vertonen zelfs gelijkenissen met ons zonnestelsel. Ondanks het feit dat de meeste van de ruim 700 exoplaneten bijna vier keer zo groot zijn als de Aarde bevinden er zich in deze groep ook vier interessante werelden tussen. Zo zijn deze vier exoplaneten, ook wel 'superaardes' genoemd, minder dan 2,5 keer zo groot als de Aarde en cirkelen zij rond hun moederster in de zogheten 'leefbare zone'. Deze zone is een regio rondom de moederster waarin de temperatuur aan het oppervlak van een exoplaneet geschikt is om water in vloeibare vorm te laten op voorkomen. Helaas wil dit nog niet zeggen dat deze vier planeten echt leefbaar zijn aangezien hiervoor nog veel andere factoren een rol spelen. Sinds zijn lancering in 2009 kwam de Amerikaanse Kepler ruimtetelescoop al enkele duizenden kandidaatplaneten op het spoor en heeft deze planetenjager nu al 961 planeten rondom andere sterren ontdekt. Helaas werd op 14 mei 2013 bekend gemaakt dat de ruimtetelescoop niet meer te redden viel nadat twee reactiewielen defect waren. Toch zijn wetenschappers ongetwijfeld nog vele jaren zoet met het verwerken en analyseren van de gigantische hoeveelheid data.

Water en koolstof gevonden in een Marsmeteoriet
Water en koolstof gevonden in een Marsmeteoriet
Dit beeld, gemaakt met een scanning-elektronenmicroscoop (SEM), toont tunnels en gebogen microtunnels in een MarsmeteorietFoto: NASA
Na de vondst van stromend water op Mars, midden februari 2014, presenteert NASA opnieuw een belangrijke ontdekking. Een team wetenschappers van het Johnson Space Center in Houston en het Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Californië, heeft in een Marsmeteoriet bewijzen gevonden van water. De resultaten zijn gepubliceerd in het februarinummer van Astrobiology. Het verhaal doet uiteraard denken aan de vondst van een mogelijk biogene structuur in een Marsmeteoriet (de ALH84001) in 1996. Leden uit het toenmalige onderzoeksteam, zijn ook bij de huidige vondst betrokken.
Nu gaat het om de 14 kg zware Marsmeteoriet Yamato 000593 (Y000593). Verschillende structuren in de meteoriet zouden op biologische processen kunnen wijzen. Het zou impliceren dat honderden miljoenen jaren geleden er leven op Mars geweest kan zijn. De meteoriet werd 1,3 miljard jaar geleden gevormd als onderdeel van een lavastroom op Mars. Ongeveer 12 miljoen jaar geleden, zorgde een grote inslag op Mars ervoor dat het brokstuk in de ruimte terechtkwam. Ongeveer 50.000 jaar geleden viel het op aarde. In 2000 werd de meteoriet door een Japans expeditieteam gevonden op de Yamato gletsjer op Antarctica. Ze werd geklasseerd als een nakhliet, een subgroep van de SNC-meteorieten waarvan algemeen wordt aanvaard dat ze van Mars afkomstig zijn.
De bewuste structuren zijn tunnels en microtunnels in kleimineralen (iddingsiet). Dergelijke structuren vinden we ook terug in aards basalt, waar ze het resultaat zijn van bacteriële activiteit. Daarnaast vond men kleine sferules (grootte-orde van nanometer tot micrometer) waarin meer koolstof zit dan in de omringende kleimineralen. Een abiotische oorsprong sluiten de onderzoekers niet uit, maar dergelijke sferules kunnen ook biotisch zijn en dan is de combinatie met de microtunnels natuurlijk intrigerend.
De tunnels, microtunnels en sferulen zijn voor de onderzoekers bewijzen van een vroeger waterreservoir op Mars, waarin ook koolstof voorkwam. En een dergelijke omgeving is ideaal voor het ontstaan of herbergen van levende organismen, zoals bacteriën. De onderzoekers erkennen wel dat de meteoriet kan gecontamineerd zijn met aardse koolstof, maar de resultaten zijn toch interessant genoeg, omdat ze het onderzoek van Marsmeteorieten en van microstructuren stimuleren.
Alien body parts...powerful religious artifacts...UFO wreckage...what exactly is hidden behind heavily guarded doors? Inspired by Syfy's hit series Warehouse 13, NBC News award-winning journalist Lester Holt goes on a global expedition to uncover the truth behind the world's top secret, mysterious warehouses where super-classified objects are kept.
In Inside Secret Government Warehouses: Shocking Revelations, Holt capitalizes on exclusive access to restricted sites, traveling from Area 51 in Nevada to deep inside the Vatican secret archives -- the centerpiece of Dan Brown's Angels and Demons -- interviewing informants, Washington decision-makers, former top military personnel and leading experts. Among his findings: A high-level informant who describes huge underground tunnels beneath military installataions, victims of unauthorized government experimentation, and a former US Air Force pilot ordered to shoot down a UFO in England.
With input from world renowned theoretical physicists, Vatican officials, anthropologists and experts on Area 51, Holt will explore the darkest corners of the places where the world's secrets hide. What will he discover?

Russian meteor blast injures at least 1,000 people
Russian meteor blast injures at least 1,000 people
Moscow (CNN) – A meteor streaked through the skies above Russia’s Urals region Friday morning before exploding with a flash and boom that shattered glass in buildings and left about 1,000 people hurt, authorities said.
Described by NASA as a “tiny asteroid,” the meteor’s explosion created a blast in central Russia equivalent to 300,000 tons of TNT, the space agency’s officials said Friday, adding that the incident was a once-in-100-years event.
The injured included more than 200 children. Most of those hurt are in the Chelyabinsk region, though the vast majority of injuries are not thought to be serious.

Low level UFO incidents, Mysterious Creature Encounters Among the 2013 Weird Incidents Reported from Pennsylvania
Low level UFO incidents, Mysterious Creature Encounters Among the 2013 Weird Incidents Reported from Pennsylvania
From Researcher: Stan Gordon
A large rectangular object hovered low over a major highway, and residents of Pennsylvania reported encounters with Bigfoot, giant birds, and other strange creatures. These were some of the strange incidents reported from across the Keystone state during 2013. Other people reported such things as mystery booms, strange animal screams, mysterious footprints, as well as various other paranormal events. Some people submitted photos and videos of anomalies that they could not explain.
During 2013, my desk was covered with reports of UFO sightings and other unusual incidents from statewide locations that originated from 50 counties of the commonwealth. I also received reports from nearby states such as West Virginia, Virginia, and Ohio. Quite often,those who experience strange events will either contact me directly, or report their experiences to other research groups or independent researchers. Such sources include the PA Chapter of (MUFON) The Mutual UFO Network, www.mufonpa.com, Peter Davenport’s, “National UFO Reporting Center,” www.nuforc.org, and the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society, www.pabigfootsociety.com. I maintain contact with many research groups and Pennsylvania as well as with national researchers.
In 1959, I began to log reports of mysterious happenings. In 1969 I started taking calls from the public on UFO sightings and other unusual occurrences and I continue to receive phone and e-mail sighting reports on a frequent basis. It was after the Kecksburg UFO incident in 1965 that I began to conduct on the scene investigations of such odd occurrences. It was during that time that it became apparent that the majority of UFO sightings and other strange encounters reported could be found to have a natural or man-made explanation. Many UFO sightings that people call me about are determined to be misidentifications of such things as bright stars and planets, meteors, search lights, space debris, Chinese lanterns, and even rare meteorological events. Some Bigfoot sightings and even observations of other unusual animals are commonly found to be misidentifications as well.
An odd blob on the ground near Latrobe was identified as a slime mold known as “dog vomit fungus”. On a yearly basis, however, some UFO sightings and other oddities reported can’t be so easily explained away. During the last couple of years in Pennsylvania, we are seeing an increase of UFO cases where structured objects are being observed at a low level and at very close range.
UFOs of various shapes and sizes were reported statewide during 2013. Sightings of disc, cigar, triangular and spherical objects were reported. Observations of rectangular objects appeared to be on the increase. Over the years, UFOs have appeared frequently over the rivers and lakes of Pennsylvania. During February, in the Monongahela River in Washington County, four to six roughly round transparent objects moved in a random group through the water about 40 feet from shore. Behind each object was a trail about six feet long suggesting they were propelled? Each object protruded about 3-4 inches above the water causing a disturbance. Suddenly the objects all stopped at the same time and disappeared from sight.
One March evening, seven to nine yellowish- gold colored rectangular objects moved in a formation, “like a train in the sky,” over the Greensburg area. On the evening of June 1st, a woman and her three year old child were traveling eastbound of Route 30 in North Huntingdon Township in Westmoreland County. Ahead of them was a 55 feet long solid rectangular object hovering silently about 60 feet above the highway. The woman said the object, “looked like the gondola of a blimp without the blimp.” The object was described as two tiered, and the lighting configuration was unlike conventional navigational lighting. As they passed under the object, all of the dashboard electronics in the car went dead. The woman attempted to take a picture with her iPhone but the camera function would not load up. She lost her cell phone signal as well. As the woman accelerated down the road and away from the object, all electronic functions returned to normal.
In July, near Jeannette, a large dark elongated cloud was observed in a clear sky that seemed out of place. From the left side of the cloud appeared a long rippling line of what looked like burning smoke that was rolling out. From the end of that line a baseball sized sphere of light appeared and began to move toward the east and closer to the witness. As the object moved, it increased in size from that of a baseball to nearly that of a volley ball. The silent object stopped about 50-60 feet away in front of the witness, and several hundred feet off the ground. The object hovered for several seconds then accelerated in speed and zoomed off into the sky toward the south.
Reported encounters with huge hair covered bipedal creatures have been a part of Pennsylvania history. Hundreds of Bigfoot sightings have been recorded from many parts of the state. Residents living around the Chestnut Ridge in Westmoreland, Fayette, and Indiana counties continued to report possible Bigfoot activity during 2013. In January, in Indiana county, strange whining sounds and something banging on the side of a country home unnerved a family who found a series of five toed footprints in the snow.
Eric Altman, Director of the PA Bigfoot Society, saw a slowdown in sighting reports, track discoveries and encounters in 2013. The group did receive several reports in the spring in Fayette County and again in the fall. Reports also were submitted from Westmoreland County from communities close to or within proximity of the Chestnut Ridge. During the fall months, the P.B.S. also received and investigated claims from Clearfield, Elk, Pike, and Lycoming Counties. No conclusive evidence was collected and some of these cases are still being investigated.
In December, hunters a few miles north of Greensburg came across a series of footprints unlike anything they had ever seen in the woods. The tracks were 11 ½ inches long and 5 ½ inches wide. There were 4 toes in the front, and one toe off to the side. They were similar to pongid or ape-like tracks. Over the years, similar tracks have been found from across the state.
Observations continue of giant birds with massive wingspans (Thunderbirds). On May 17th, during the afternoon, a man on a motorcycle riding on a rural road in Derry Township, Westmoreland County, was surprised when a huge flying creature passed from left to right about 50 feet in front of him. The dark colored flying creature was only about 8-10 feet above the roadway. The witness stated that the “wingspan was gigantic,” and estimated it to be 20 feet or more in length.
During June, a mystery animal was observed and photographed in Unity Township, Westmoreland County. The animal was a little larger than a fawn, with a face somewhat like a dog and had large ears. The body of the animal was estimated to be about 2 to 2 ½ feet long with a tail about a foot long.
The entire animal was described as really dark brown and completely hairless. The tail was long and skinny. The creature appeared to be very thin, and the back legs of the animal appeared to be longer than the front legs. The weirdest physical detail of the animal was a very prominent snout. In past years I have received similar such reports from other locations in the state.

Ring UFO Caught in Earths Orbit HD Strange Sky Ships Captured on Back Yard Cameras
Ring UFO Caught in Earths Orbit HD Strange Sky Ships Captured on Back Yard Cameras
Object starts off quite translucent as it comes into view, and then becomes more solid and defined.
This could indicate the object is a dimensional craft, phasing into our reality from an alternate one. This of course is only an opinion, but please note, sightings of these ring shaped UFOs are increasing, some are quite small, and others, especially ones seen around the sun are massive, only question is what are they?
These are the last three minutes taken from the LG camera were it can be seen when the object got lost behind dense clouds.
We try to be as precise as we can when we make some claims: When we use the label UFO is because we have been unable to identify the object of interest, we always try to look for the standard objects in the sky: man made airplanes/drones, birds, balloons, astronomical objects like the Moon, Venus that are usually the only ones visible in daylight and sometimes satellites like the ISS, but these are very hard to spot in daylight. The more difficult of the standard objects to identify are the balloons because they come in very, very different shapes and materials: but looking to its movement relative to the wind and/or its configuration and movement with high zooming lens you can almost always get an identification.
Humanity should start thinking about how to interact with alien species long before coming into contact with extraterrestrial life, experts say.
Coming up with a strict set of guidelines that govern the way people on future interstellar space missions study and interact with aliens is imperative before anyone blasts off to a distant world, according to attendees at Starship Congress in August.
While a “prime directive” — the rule that prevented Star Fleet officers from interfering with the business of alien life-forms on TV’s “Star Trek” — might be a little extreme, such a rule could help govern interactions between aliens and humans.
“In the event that we discover evidence of intelligent life on another world, that will be a social, cultural and technologically influential event to human affairs which will need to be managed with great care and to ensure our culture and their culture remains intact and not disrupted by this new knowledge,” Kelvin Long, the founder of Project Icarus, said during a panel on Aug. 16.
People traveling to distant stars will be carrying tangible and intangible aspects of human culture with them, so it should be curated responsibly before being sent to an alien planet, one expert said.
“I think it comes down to how we’re going,” Armen Papazian, the CEO of the International Space Development Hub, said. “Do we trust that this is a beautiful universe, an incredible cosmos? Do we really believe that it’s an amazing landscape, it’s a bed of stars? What do we think we’re going out there to find and are we going to embrace it or are we going to utilize? Are we trying to export our scarcity economics or are we trying to enjoy the abundant cosmos? … Whatever we are here, we’re going to export wherever we go.”
It’s possible that humans in the future will have no desire to land on exoplanets after free-roaming in space for years at a time, Icarus Interstellar president Richard Obousy said.
“I’m not convinced that when we have the capabilities to build starships … that we’ll want to go from one gravitational abyss to another gravitational abyss,” Obousy said. “I’m not convinced that settling on planets or even moons is going to be necessary.”
Humans can’t help but explore and interact with the world around them, Icarus Interstellar’s James Benford said during the panel.
“We won’t leave them alone,” Benford said. “We would like to explore alien ecology extensively to understand if there are any interactions leading to incompatibilities. We would need to establish human research stations to do that because it’s a complex problem. It seems unlikely that there would be interference between separately evolved ecologies, especially if we minimize contamination and wear the appropriate suits.”
Les Johnson, of the Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop, takes Benford’s ideas a little further. Johnson and his group have developed three moral principles that he hopes will serve as a guide for any interactions with all kinds of extraterrestrial life:
Learn all you can learn before risking any kind of direct interaction
If it seems to be alive, leave it alone.
Avoid bringing samples to the home world because it might not be totally incompatible with our ecosystem.
When developing a strategy for first contact, it might also be important to think about the mental and physical well-being of the aliens with whom humans could come into contact, panel members stated.
Finding out that a more advanced civilization exists somewhere in the universe could be as jarring for humans around the globe as it was for native peoples when the conquistadors came to North America for the first time, Benford said.
“It wasn’t just guns, disease and steel, it was the shock of finding out that you’re not even No. 1, you’re not even No. 3,” Benford said. “That is a thing to really worry about.”
In spite of all of these rules, it will be up to the people on the starship to ultimately enforce or do away with whatever rules were in place before they left the planet.
“A vibrant interstellar civilization will be essentially ungovernable, and that observing such guidelines will be strictly left up to each and every first contact team to obey or not obey at their discretion,” Johnson said. “When someone is several light-years from home and they’ve encountered something they never encountered before, they’re going to be making the decisions regardless of what the guiding moral principles might have been when they left home.”

Lumières de Phoenix - MAGONIE
Lumières de Phoenix MAGONIE
Pour info, l’unique vidéo des lumières en V, filmées par Terry Proctor avec un camescope, puis retravaillée par un photographe pour améliorer la visibilité:
Ça n’est pas très symétrique, et la dispositon des six lumières varie… D’autre part, la luminosité de ces lumières baisse considérablement après les premiers instants, ce qui s’accorde avec bon nombre de témoins qui ont vu les lumières disparaître ou s’affadir après le passage au plus près.
Et un article intéressant en français concernant les témoignages, par un non sceptique (Laurent Chabin):
I am writing to inform you the new update of the FOTOCAT Project’s blog, for March 2014.I hope you will find some interesting entries in this lengthy report.
Amateur astronomer Charles Lamoureux recorded video of a UFO over Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada on Friday, February 28.
UFO captured on video in Vancouver. (Credit: Charles Lamoureux)
The sighting reportedly occurred at 8:44 p.m. over the area of Cypress Provincial Park in North Vancouver. And, as the website Unknown Country explains, Lamoureux was able to record the UFO with three different cameras.
The witness referenced the website Heavens Above to eliminate the possibility that that UFO was simply a satellite. Lamoureux uploaded his video to YouTube, and, in the video’s description, he explains, “I must have seen over a dozen in a hour descend exact same area, some flashing, faster, but this one was so bright for sure there were more witnesses.”
Although he is willing to entertain the idea that the UFO was a satellite, Lamoureux believes that it would have to be “a spy unknown or space junk but it was really moving way too slow at the onset.”
What do you think the unidentified object is in Lamoureux’s video? Share your thoughts with us on the Open Minds Facebook page or in the comments below.
A man in Cleveland, Texas says he went out to photograph a strange “white tornado shaped cloud” and spotted mysterious glowing orbs flying under the cloud. He sent in a report with three images to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
First image submitted by Texas UFO witness. Click to enlarge. (Credit: MUFON)
Second image submitted by Texas UFO witness. Click to enlarge. (Credit: MUFON)
Third image submitted by Texas UFO witness. Click to enlarge. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness says he saw the orbs fly slowly under the cloud, and then he lost sight of them.
Looked out front of my house say a white tornado shaped cloud..it was stationary and hovered over the treetops..I thought we were going to have a storm but sky was blue and clear no rain or thunderstorms. I thought it was strange how long it hovered over trees so I took some pictures as I took the pictures I noticed under the cloud were five orb shaped objects that moved slowly under the cloud in a straight line and moved along until they were gone..the cloud stayed for 15 min then slowly disappeared.
According to Roger Marsh, MUFON’s Director of Public Education and National UFO reporter for the Examiner, the case was investigated by their Texas chapter. Investigators determined the case was not a hoax. They filed the case as a genuine unknown, meaning they could not match the object up to any possible known man-made or astronomical object.
HIGH STRANGENESS IN THE SKIES OVER HODDESDON ENGLAND
MARCH 1, 2014 …. HODDESDON ENGLAND
MYSTERY surrounds the appearance of some strange lights in the sky, which were seen over Hoddesdon on Saturday night. A woman from River Avenue told the Mercury that she and a group of four friends were returning home from an event at the church hall at around 11 pm on Saturday. “Nobody had been drinking,” said the 67-year-old woman who did not want to be named. It was then that a neighbor pointed out some strange lights in the sky. “There was a very, very wide circle,” she said. She describes the lights as circular with a dotted pattern inside. “It was swinging up a huge area, backwards and forwards across the sky,” she said. The woman tried to take a picture of the lights, but the scene was too dark. “It was below cloud level,” she said. “It was about as wide as the gap between the houses.” Some of her neighbors were spooked and went inside. The shape was still in the sky when the woman got up later in the night. What does she think the lights were? “I haven’t got a clue,” she said. “It doesn’t make much sense. “When you hear reports of people seeing UFOs you think ‘Oh what rubbish.’ “There must be an explanation.” The caller’s 79-year-old neighbor later called the Mercury with her tale. “There were several of them,” said the second caller. “They almost looked as if there was something sucking them up,” she said. They then started “flying about all over the place.” “I have never seen anything like it before,” she said. “I wondered if there was some light display.” She describes the lights as “cloud color” and claims that each circular light seemed to be surrounded by smaller lights. There have been no other reported sightings. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
Op alternatieve nieuwssites wordt veel gesproken over vrije energie. Er komt steeds meer informatie naar buiten over nieuwe uitvindingen en technologieën die worden stilgehouden. Er zijn een aantal redenen waarom de ontwikkeling op het gebied van vrije energie relatief moeizaam verloopt.
De grote spelers op de markt zouden hun winst in rook zien opgaan op het moment dat mensen niet meer afhankelijk zijn van fossiele brandstoffen. Het gaat om technologieën die worden gebruikt in auto’s, woningen en fabrieken. Vandaar dat veel nieuwe technologieën worden stilgehouden.
Daarnaast lijken sommige apparaten zich niets aan te trekken van de huidige natuurkundige wetten. Ook is het zo dat veel uitvinders het zwijgen wordt opgelegd omdat ze een bedreiging vormen, terwijl anderen zich te druk maken om patenten en winst.
Marko Rodin heeft een driedimensionaal model gemaakt van de wiskundige taal der natuur. Volgens sommigen is dit één van de grootste ontdekkingen ooit. Hoewel het werk rond de revolutionaire Rodin-spoel herhaaldelijk is onderworpen aan collegiale toetsing, wordt er nog weinig aandacht aan besteed. Rodin en zijn team willen de technologie om een aantal voor de hand liggende redenen niet verkopen aan grote bedrijven.
Wat zijn de voordelen van deze technologie?
Onbeperkte energie
Een einde aan alle ziektes
Onbeperkt voedsel
Reizen door het hele universum
Bouwen van de ultieme supercomputer
Maakt alle bestaande technologie overbodig
Rodin heeft zich als doel gesteld zijn kennis door middel van een open source-project door te geven aan het publiek. Denk aan een tentoonstelling voor kinderen, een boek of een DVD. Hij en zijn collega’s willen de technologie in handen geven van het volk om daarmee de hele wereld te redden.
February 28, 2014, inspired at least one viewer to file a UFO report with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), according to testimony in Case 54384 from the MUFON witness reporting database.
The witness had a UFO encounter about 10 a.m. on July 10, 2012, but had kept details of the incident to himself until a few scenes in the “Hangar 1″ show depicted objects that resembled his original sighting. The “Hangar 1″ episodes are based on MUFON case files and the first episode was televised just last evening.
“My family and I were camping at First Landing State Park, VA, in July 2012,” the witness stated. “The camping ground faces the Chesapeake beach side of Virginia Beach and is right next to the Joint Expeditionary Base, For Story.”
The witness was on his way to the bathroom when the object was first seen.
“Around 10 a.m., I was walking up to the camp bath and washrooms and noticed what looked like a 50-gallon barrel hovering above the beach area closest to the base at a slight eastward angle. I ignored it figuring it was a kite or something, but then it struck me as being unusual. I looked back up and stared at it for a few minutes. 'What is that?' I said several times, each time trying to rationalize it as a balloon or kite.”
The witness described the object.
“But it looked very solid and didn't move at all. If it were windy enough for a barrel-shaped kite to take flight, I would expect it to move or sway a bit. But it didn't.”
And then a second witness walked by.
“As he passed, I called out to him, 'Hey, what is that?' The guy looked up, stared a few moments and then simply said, 'I don't know' and kept walking.”
The witness then noticed military helicopters moving into the area.
“I continued to stare then saw two or three Blackhawk helicopters take off and head toward the northwest. I said to myself they're going after whatever that is. As I continued toward the bathroom, I kept watching the object as it hovered motionlessly. The helicopters did a large westward loop.”
The witness then went into the bathroom and returning five minutes later, the object was gone.
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed March 1, 2014. Virginia Beach, VA, has a population of 449,628. Virginia has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Virginia had 8 UFO reports in February 2014 - the 15th highest reporting state - while California had 59 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.
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 Virginia MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
"Hangar 1: The UFO Files" can be seen on the H2 channel Friday nights at 10 p.m. ET.
