Australië onthult geheimen over vliegende schotels
Australië onthult geheimen over vliegende schotels
Het Australische Nationale Archief heeft woensdag geheime documenten over vliegende schotels en ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten vrijgegeven. Al in 1949 kwamen in het land mensen bijeen om de waarheid te achterhalen over dit onderwerp.
Bij die bijeenkomst waren organisaties en groepen uit verschillende landen betrokken, waaronder de British Interplanetary Society, de Royal Aeronautical Society (RAS), de Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) en de Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Sindsdien heeft het Australische ministerie van Defensie gedegen onderzoek verricht naar de mysteries van vliegende schotels en UFO’s, zelfs nadat minister van Luchtvaart William McMahon had gezegd dat ‘het probleem moet worden overgelaten aan psychologen in plaats van defensie-autoriteiten’.
De Australische defensie-autoriteiten namen vliegende schotels echter serieus. De Marine Inlichtingendienst deelde waarnemingen van piloten met de luchtmacht. Al snel had de luchtmacht officiële documenten die konden worden ingevuld door ooggetuigen.
Nick Gleghorn, directeur van het Nationale Archief in Zuid-Australië, heeft zich verdiept in getuigenverklaringen, brieven en krantenknipsels over UFO-waarnemingen vanaf 1940. Hij zei dat mensen vooral in de jaren vijftig en zeventig erg geïnteresseerd waren in het fenomeen.
Veel mensen namen in die tijd contact op met de autoriteiten omdat ze een UFO hadden gezien, aldus Gleghorn. Hij kwam een aantal interessante stukken tegen. Zo bleek onder meer dat voormalig gouverneur-generaal van Australië Richard Casey erg ruimdenkend was over vliegende schotels.
An Oregon witness at Cascadia driving along Moose Creek Road reported watching a “diamond-shaped UFO with bright white lights landing on a nearby hill,” according to March 5, 2014, testimony in Case 54457 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving between 9 and 10 p.m. on January 23, 2014, when the object was first seen. The case was filed with MUFON on March 5, 2014.
“As I watched, I thought, damn, keep forgetting to put binoculars in the truck,” the witness stated. “All of a sudden, not as long as a minute, but not as fast as a blink of an eye, it seemed the whole world got black.”
The witness became frightened and left the scene.
The witness provided three reference shots to the landing site. No information was available today regarding how long after the event the photos were taken: Image 1, Image 2 and Image 3. The images appear to show a rounded area on the ground as an indentation.
We recently reported on a January 30, 2014, UFO case from Redmond, Oregon in: Silent low flying UFO spotted moving over Oregon town. Case 53805 remains under investigation by Oregon MUFON. Cascadia is about 80 miles west of Redmond.
Cascadia is an unincorporated community on the South Santiam River, 14 miles east of Sweet Home, in Linn County, Oregon, population 147. Oregon has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Oregon had 10 UFO reports in February 2014 - the 14th 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 Oregon MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
So, a simple set of two fixed walls and a movable flat dummy wall and only one “body” were used in each autopsy's production.
He also claims his footage was shot on 16mm B+W film, and once shooting was completed, all the processed film was transferred via Telecine to video and edited and “aged” by computer, once this was complete the finished production was transferred back to video.
Spyros correctly specified the 1990's commercial editing package he claims to have used and it was indeed capable of this process. All the original 16mm film shot by Spyros and the completed video version on Betacam SP Video were handed over to Ray Santilli.
Interestingly, although Philip Mantle now takes a completely negative stance where the “AA” footage is concerned, he did actually track down the film technician who made the 16mm film to video transfer of the footage. The technician was reported to have made the comment that although the majority of the film was in good condition some of it was in a poor state.
One has to ask here why would some sections of newly shot film be in a poor state, although sections of old film mixed in with new footage might prompt this comment.
The footage consists of two distinct sections, “the autopsy” itself and “the debris footage.”
Ray originally made “The Footage” publicly available on a limited edition VHS tape where the video was captioned and split into “reel” segments, allegedly referring to the numbering found on the “original film cans.”
There were also some badly damaged frames of film edited into this version of the footage, which I refer to as “the fragments.” These do not appear in any other released version of the footage as far as I'm aware.
All versions of the footage have only been seen in video format; no “film” version has ever been publicly shown, but if Spyros's story of editing and manipulating the footage by computer, and outputting the finished product back to video format is true, this is understandable.
Some of the “fogged” sections of the footage do show 16mm film stock markings (though these are from modern Kodak film) and “the fragments” seem to be from safety print stock, and although they do not show scenes from either the autopsy or the debris sections, they can be associated with the autopsy footage (as I will show later).
Those familiar with the story may recall that way back in 1995, Philip Mantle in his role as a director of BUFORA, offered their services to Ray Santilli, and in exchange Ray presented BUFORA with a Betacam SP tape containing “all the usable footage.”
Via Philip, during 2005, I had the extended loan of this tape, which I was finally able to have duplicated and have a working copy made. I then transferred the recordings digitally on to my computer so the footage could be studied frame by frame in detail at leisure. It must be noted that the Betacam tape provided significantly better quality images for study than those I had previously digitized from Ray's “Footage” VHS tape as can be seen below.
Figure 2. VHS/BetaCam image comparison]
After reading the interview transcript it was to these capture files I turned to see if there was any evidence at all in the footage that might indicate it could have been edited together from more than the one single source, as was then being claimed in the Spyros interview tape.
I began a frame-by-frame examination of the footage with the scenario in mind as laid out in the taped interview, that so little of any “original” footage had survived by the time that Ray had finally recovered the films back to the UK, and he had by that time, numerous contractual obligations to produce “the goods.”
The only way out was to run with Spyros's offer to “recreate” the lost sections of film and hope enough final usable footage could be cobbled together to satisfy his customers. Stills taken from surviving sections of footage would provide Spyros with “key frames” around which he could “storyboard” his filming and also provide enough detail to build the autopsy set and also give John Humphreys a design to which he could build his creature bodies.
It sounds like a totally “bazAAr” and audacious scheme. Some would say only a magician would be able to pull it off, but we must remember, as well as being in the video/tv industry, Spyros IS a “magician” and he was a member of The Magic Circle for many years …that is until he was expelled.
I have to say I had grave doubts of finding any evidence as I had been looking at the footage myself, off and on, over the years since 1995, but like everyone else we had been looking with eyes that assumed as we had been told, that the footage was a single procedure all shot at the same time in the same place.
The idea that the footage might consist of a mix of old and new film carefully edited together had certainly never crossed my mind.
Surprisingly, once looking for any subtle differences indicating more than the one set of source material, I didn't have to look too far to find them, and I rapidly came to the shocking conclusion that the footage was a hybrid, cleverly edited together from a number, possibly up to 3, different autopsies.
But… Spyros said that he had only filmed the one, single autopsy for the footage Ray released?
So far I have identified at least 10 clips of what might be termed “other footage.”
On the whole these are very short sections of film, from just a few frames, up to a few seconds of footage, intercut with what I assume to be the modern “recreation” footage filmed by Spyros. This modern footage seems to make up the main bulk (80-90%) of the “AA” film, and this would seem to tally with Spyros's comments in the interview that there were around 2 minutes of “original” footage out of the 19-20 minutes of the final released footage.
A few of the more easily seen “other/original footage” segments I'd now like to illustrate.
There are too many feet.
Spyros maintains that in the filming of the 2nd autopsy, the footage we are now examining, he only used the one “body,” created by John Humphreys, and that the same “set” was used throughout the filming.
Why then can we find two different sets of feet on “the body”?
Please examine closely the image below, and pay particular attention to the length of the big toe on each foot. In one image it is longer than the next toe, and in the other image it's shorter. It can also be seen that some of the lengths of the other toes differ between the feet in the two clips of film.
Part III will continue tomorrow Thursday, March 6, 2014!
Asteroids come and go, and some leave a very lasting mark on the Earth. Back in 2003 when Asteroid 2003 QQ47 was first discovered scientists projected that this giant doomsday asteroid would strike the earth with the force of 20 million Hiroshima atomic bombs. There was plenty of talk about this asteroid back then.
March 26, 2014, (March 21, 2014 the original date of impact) Asteroid 2003 QQ47 will be in our solar system’s orbit at about 49.9 million LD. What was the situation that had scientists believing this was a dangerous event, and then to change the warning sent out from a threat to a non-threat about this asteroid.
NASA did some recalculation back in September 2003 ruling out impact on the earth of Asteroid 2003 QQ47 but its been 11 years since its discovery. And the wait is over.
The full trailer for the upcoming film titled Alien Abduction was recently released.
This movie will be in the found-footage format, where the illusion is created that what is shown in the film is real video content shot by the on-screen characters, therefore suggesting that the audience is watching authentic footage. Although some who watch this film will likely fall for this gimmick, Alien Abduction is simply an entertaining independent film being released by IFC Midnight. But, the film’s story is reportedly based on true events.
The film’s synopsis simply describes, “A vacationing family encounters an alien threat and is based on the real-life Brown Mountain Lights phenomenon.” The Brown Mountain Lights are, indeed, a very real phenomenon of mysterious lights that have been reported near Brown Mountain in North Carolina for at least a century.
Alien Abduction is scheduled to hit theaters on April 4, 2014.
The confirmation of extraterrestrial intelligence could have a profound impact on religious doctrines, potentially causing theologians to reinterpret scriptures to accommodate the new discoveries. However, a survey of people with many different religious beliefs indicated that their faith would not be affected by the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence, and another study, conducted by Ted Peters of the Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, shows that most people would not consider their religious beliefs superseded by it. Surveys of religious leaders indicate that only a small percentage are concerned that the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence might fundamentally contradict the views of the adherents of their religion. Gabriel Funes, the chief astronomer of the Vatican Observatory and a papal adviser on science, has stated that the Roman Catholic Church would be likely to welcome extraterrestrial visitors warmly.
Contact with extraterrestrial intelligence would not be completely inconsequential for religion. The Peters study showed that most non-religious people, and a significant majority of religious people, believe that the world could face a religious crisis, even if their own beliefs were unaffected. Contact with extraterrestrial intelligence would be most likely to cause a problem for western religions, in particular traditionalist Christianity, because of the geocentric nature of western faiths. The discovery of extraterrestrial life would not contradict basic conceptions of God, however, and seeing that science has challenged established dogma in the past, for example with the theory of evolution and the teachings of Giordano Bruno, it is likely that existing religions will adapt similarly to the new circumstances. In the view of Musso, however, a global religious crisis would be unlikely even for Abrahamic faiths, as the studies of himself and others on Christianity, the most “anthropocentric” religion, see no conflict between that religion and the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. In addition, the cultural and religious values of extraterrestrial species would likely be shared over centuries if contact is to occur by radio, meaning that rather than causing a huge shock to humanity, such information would be viewed much as archaeologists and historians view ancient artifacts and texts.
Dick speculates that a decipherable message from extraterrestrial intelligence could initiate an interstellar exchange of knowledge in various disciplines, including whatever religions an extraterrestrial civilization may host. Billingham further suggests that an extremely advanced and friendly extraterrestrial civilization might put an end to present-day religious conflicts and lead to greater religious toleration worldwide. On the other hand, Jill Tarter puts forward the view that contact with extraterrestrial intelligence might eliminate religion as we know it and introduce humanity to an all-encompassing faith.
The Antichrist is a Christian concept based on interpretation of passages in the New Testament. In the New Testament, the term “antichrist” occurs five times in 1 John and 2 John, once in plural form and four times in the singular.
In traditional Christian belief, Jesus the Messiah appears in his Second Coming to Earth, to face the emergence of the Antichrist figure. Just as Christ is the savior and the ideal model for humanity, his opponent in the End of Days will be a single figure of concentrated evil, according to Bernard McGinn.
The Vaticans Extraterrestrial Secrets Could one of the most sacred place on Earth also house secret knowledge of extraterrestrial life? The path to disclosure just might lie on holy ground: at the Vatican.
the Antichrist The Great Deceiver. Seducer of the masses. The Bringer of Armageddon. Every culture and religion on the planet believes that an evil one will usher in the end of days. But who is this Anti-Christ? And how can we hope to stop him?

A leading MUFON investigator has declared that ALL recent reports about mysterious light orbs being pursued by helicopters over Orange County (OC), are nothing more than military exercises and beleaguered police air patrols being hassled by pranksters launching sky lanterns.
The senior investigator's statement, published today as "breaking news" by MUFON was not backed by any evidence or investigation by the grass roots UFO research organization.
Cinde Costello, who carries the title of Southern California Chief Investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), where the sightings occurred, concluded that the sightings appear to be a combination of military training exercises and area residents "who love to launch sky lanterns."
Costello apparently made her snap judgement when she watched a video taken by a witness on the evening of February 27, 2013. She called the video "my Rosetta Stone for figuring out what was going on down in Orange County."
"The minute I watched the video, everything clicked into place," Costello continued.
"That was no military helicopter - it was a law enforcement helicopter. I could tell just by the sound of the engine and rotors. The LE helicopter did appear to check-out the 'orb,' but the orb was a sky lantern and nothing more. The minute that it winked-out the officer continued right on with his patrol. By the way, the Anaheim Police Department has a very busy Air Support Unit, which is stationed at the Fullerton Airport, just west of Anaheim Hills."
Does this extemporaneous assumption constitute a MUFON senior investigation? Did Costello make any calls to local police agencies to validate her supposition?
What about the other witness reports that stated that the helicopters were flying "at max speed...trying to keep up with the orbs," or that the orbs made sudden, rapid moves? Since when do sky lanterns and helium balloons outrun helicopters and suddenly jump to distant positions as stated in multiple witness reports? Costello did not support her claim with any weather or high wind data from the times of the sightings to reasonably dispute witness observations that the UFOs were moving unusually fast.
Costello goes on to explain away the witness reports of very low flying helicopters illuminating orbs, some of which appeared to one witness reports as looking metallic.
"I feel it was more probable in this event - Case 54168 - that the witness did see two military helicopters, because it's not unusual to see military helicopters in this area, as they often travel to the one of the many bases we have here."
Costello reaches further out on a limb by speculating that the sightings may be related to military exercises with Japan.
"Most recently there's been some increased military activity here from January 23, 2014, to February 24, 2014, due to 'Exercise Iron Fist 2014.' This was a joint U.S. and Japanese military training exercise based out of Camp Pendleton."
Again, no substantiation of her claim that such maneuvers were underway in the area at the time of the sightings. And her guess that what witnesses were seeing were low altitude US and Japanese military aircraft maneuvers of over a densely populated civilian population center stretches the limits of credulity.
Breezily moving on, Costello quickly takes down the witness report of a military jet pursuing a white orb at low altitude just off the coast of Orange County.
"He first heard, and then saw, a military jet traveling off the coast approaching up from the south, and heading north. This was out over the ocean, where it is extremely common to see all sorts of military activity, including routine air patrol. He claims that he saw a white 'orb' ahead of the jet, and it seemed to him like the jet was chasing the 'orb.' This scenario is consistent with military live fire exercises, but alternately it's also possible that he may have confused the bright landing lights from an incoming airliner for an 'orb."
She concludes with a pronouncement, "Either way, not technically UFO-related as both are man-made."
Granted, this case was the one of the weaker accounts of the bunch, but how could a senior investigator so lazily dismiss the report with completely unsubstantiated speculation about it being incoming aircraft lights or low attitude, live-fire military training exercises a mile off civilian shores? What evidence makes her so sure that the reported object in front of the jet was "not technically UFO-related as both are man-made"?
Costello's rash dismissal of the recent reports included a pejorative, personal opinion.
"Yes, I do feel that many of these lanterns are connected with a group of hoaxers - probably teenagers or young adults, and it's quite possible that they may be launching them with two things in mind. First, to get a rise out of people - these lanterns are being launched at around the same time of day, in the early evening, and in locations near a major freeway - usually the '91.' And second, to annoy and distract the local Police Air Support Units."
Costello, who has worked as a bookkeeper at a southern California exterminator company for 33 years, sounds like the only one annoyed.
Perhaps Costello is correct in that some, if not all of the orb sighting reports are nothing more than sky lanterns. They are quite common. But how many times do multiple witnesses see helicopters chasing after them at high speed? How often, if at all, do military helicopters perform low-altitude training exercises with foreign military forces over densely populated US civilian centers?
Costello's sloppy conclusions are every bit as "far out" as the original witness reports, and are peppered with personal remarks, like "I feel," and "I could tell" instead of factual findings.
Costello owes the people who count on MUFON for reliable UFO information, some substantiation for her claims that every one of the related witness reports can be quickly explained away, if she wants to keep her credibility as a senior investigator. If she did make some calls to police and military agencies for confirmation (or official denials) and included it with her statement, MUFON should make her findings available to the public. UFOGrid was unable to find the full text of her statement on their website or in a news release.
Witnesses go out of their way to report their sightings to MUFON, not only to get answers but perhaps to add to the conversation about UFOs. Too many times, witnesses who step forward to explain what they've seen have been discouraged by curt dismissals and outright ridicule by the media and law enforcement agencies. It is odd for a top investigator at MUFON to be so incurious about a compelling series of independent witness accounts.
Hopefully, Costello's rush to judgement is not all we'll hear from MUFON on the recent wave of OC sighting reports. The witnesses who submitted the reports and the interested public deserves better from an organization with a mandate to seriously investigate the UFO phenomenon.

Video: Is There a Creator (God or and Aliens)?
Video: Is There a Creator (God or and Aliens)?
It’s perhaps the biggest, most controversial mystery in the cosmos. Did our Universe just come into being by random chance, or was it created by a God who nurtures and sustains all life?
The latest science is showing that the four forces governing our universe are phenomenally finely tuned. So finely that it had led many to the conclusion that someone, or something, must have calibrated them; a belief further backed up by evidence that everything in our universe may emanate from one extraordinarily elegant and beautiful design known as the E8 Lie Group.
While skeptics hold that these findings are neither conclusive nor evidence of a divine creator, some cutting edge physicists are already positing who this God is: an alien gamester who’s created our world as the ultimateSIM game for his own amusement. It’s an answer as compelling as it is disconcerting.

Video: What Do Aliens Look Like?
Video: What Do Aliens Look Like?
Sciencefiction writers have always had their little green men. But these humanoid aliens were based soundly on Earth-based life, not any extra terrestrial evidence. Today, we’ve discovered hundreds of planets around other stars. As we learn what some of these alternativeEarths might look like, science and imagination have allowed us to use real science to imagine the biology of their inhabitants. Will they have two eyes? Two legs? What color will their skin be? Which species on Earth can give us clues about likely biology of aliens? And what can we learn from how life on Earth developed to help us understand what ET really looks like?

Yugoslavian Army jet fighter pilot recalls UFO encounters
Yugoslavian Army jet fighter pilot recalls UFO encounters
Yugoslavian Army jet fighter Suada Hamzića has been sharing his memoirs on a website dedicated to reporting on the Serbian Air Force. In his latest installment he writes about his belief in UFOs, and he shares the personal encounters that have convinced him.
Hamzića’s memoirs can be found on the website Tango Six. The latest entry begins with his observation of how unpopular the UFO topic can be, and how reluctant people can be to write about it. Hamzića says that the approach by authorities to be “generally restrained, incomplete, vague and mysterious,” only tends to “further complicate any rational debate on UFOs.”
However, he says authorities in the army, and in particular the air force, cannot ignore that “something” exists because many of their most advanced fighter jets have not been able to “cope” with the unidentified objects. He says these encounters happened repeatedly over the southern Adriatic Sea.
He also says there have been many accounts by highly credible people. Along with his own personal experiences, these are the reason Hamzića says he is convinced “they are no optical phenomena, fiction, hallucinations, and the like.”
Hamzića’s first sighting was in the spring of 1972 in the early afternoon. He was flying a Mig-21 on a routine reconnaissance flight in the region on Delcina. The jet was a two-seater and in the back was Captain First Class Stipić Dušan. On takeoff they were asked to check something out. When they flew to the coordinates they saw a bright luminous object.
Hamzića could not determine the altitude of the object, but he knows it was much higher than he was. Because it was a routine reconnaissance flight, they were not equipped with the proper equipment to fly at high altitude or at a speed greater than Mach 1.6.
Hamzića began to climb to get a closer look and the object got bigger and bigger as he got closer. He climbed at Mach 1.4, and reached 13,000 meters, but could still not be sure how much higher the UFO was. He says it could have been 17,ooo or even 24,000 meters. It was impossible to say for sure.
Just then the object zipped out to the west, decreasing in size and luminosity, and then it was gone. Hamzića says what impressed him was that the craft must have been moving between 4000 to 6000 km/h (the equivalent of around 2500 – 4000 mph).

Hamzića said he and Stipić talked about the sighting for a little while, but they didn’t discuss it with anyone else. Not even their colleagues. They made no official report, and they figured the event was just part of their job.
A couple of months later, on a beautiful summer day, Hamzića had his second sighting. He was enjoying the day, lying on a park bench and looking up in the sky. He was in a square filled with pilots, technicians and other members of the 352 reconnaissance squadron.
Hamzića then noticed a round silvery object above one of the runways. He thought it was early for weather balloons to be launched, but he still assumed that is what it was. Then he realized it was not floating upwards like it should be. Suddenly he realized it was a UFO, and in his excitement he said so out loud.
Everyone looked up, and some people made jokes about aliens. He says most people didn’t pay much attention, but a few continued to watch the object. It remained hovering in place. Then, similar to what he had witnessed a few months earlier, the object began moving to the west and zipped off out of sight.
The few watching the object looked at each other puzzled, but there was very little said. Hamzića says, soon after, exactly on time, a weather balloon was released and it rose into the sky as routinely as usual.
His third encounter was in late 1973 or early 1974; he could not remember the exact date. It was a night training flight. After the training he was asked if he had enough fuel to check something out. He said he did and when he got the coordinates he saw a glowing light. He thought at first it might be a commercial plane, but he noted he could not see inside, so perhaps the windows were closed.
After getting a closer look, he determined it was not a commercial plane. He says the light changed between light green, yellow, and “slightly” purple. He then lost sight of it in the clouds. He says, again, no one wanted to talk about what he had seen.

Hamzića says since he left the Army, he has had other sightings. He says he even recorded strange lights on two occasions, once in 2008 and once in 2011. He says in both cases they were lights that suddenly turned on and were very bright, then suddenly disappeared. Each time he watched the news reports to find out if other people had seen the lights, but the sightings were never mentioned. He says it was as if they never happened.
Hamzića’s memoirs are of particular interest because he has a unique background. After attending the Yugoslavian Air Force Academy, he also attended the Royal Air Force staff college in Great Britain. In 1980, he was sent to the United States where he worked evaluating the F-5 fighter jet. From 1986 to 1990 he served as a military attaché of the armed forces of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in Turkey. He then retired as a colonel in 1993.

FATHER AND SON’S TRIANGLE ENCOUNTER NEAR KENT ENGLAND
FEBURARY 22, 2014 …. KENT ENGLAND
A Lewisham family of UFO buffs are looking for other witnesses to an “intelligently-controlled” triangular object on February 22 at around 8.45pm as he was putting out the recycling. Andrew Burlington, 38, said he had ruled out the UFO being a Chinese lantern as it moved slowly and changed direction a number of times.
He went on: “I ran back upstairs to my room and watched it slowly disappear off into the distance. “What struck me most about the object was the fact it was completely silent and there were no flashing lights on it. “We often get police helicopters circling nearby areas and they are always extremely noisy and have flashing red, green and white lights on them, so I think that rules that out.” The pair – who both claim to have seen unexplained phenomena in the sky before – want other people to come forward who may have seen the UFO, which appeared to pass over Lewisham High Street. Mr Burlington, who has contacted top Canadian UFO expert Darin Crapo about the sighting, said: “If anyone can prove to us that it was something conventional, we will accept it.” Although the family did not capture footage of the incident, Andrew Burlington has created a computer image of what he saw and believes this UFO spotted over Pennsylvania last May closely resembles the Lewisham object. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
I shared this from Facebook and didn’t realize til the last moment it was 2013… ack~ So had to change the title.
A recently discovered comet is closer than it’s ever been to Earth, and stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere finally get to see it.
Called Pan-STARRS, the comet passed within 160 million kilometres of Earth on Tuesday, its closest approach in its first-ever cruise through the inner solar system. The ice ball will get even nearer the sun this weekend — just 45 million kilometres from the sun and within the orbit of Mercury.
The comet has been visible for weeks from the Southern Hemisphere. Now the top half of the world gets a glimpse as well.
Visible for weeks
The best viewing days should be next Tuesday and Wednesday, when Pan-STARRS appears next to a crescent moon at dusk in the western sky. Until then, glare from the sun will obscure the comet.
California astronomer Tony Phillips said the comet’s proximity to the moon will make it easier for novice sky watchers to find it. Binoculars likely will be needed for the best viewing, he said, warning onlookers to avoid pointing them at the setting sun.
“Wait until the sun is fully below the horizon to scan for the comet in the darkening twilight,” Phillips advised in an email sent from his home and observatory in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Pan-STARRS’ name is actually an acronym for the Hawaiian telescope used to spot it two years ago: the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System. The volcano-top telescope is on constant prowl for dangerous asteroids and comets that might be headed our way.
Comet originated in distant Oort cloud
Thought to be billions of years old, the comet originated in the distant Oort cloud — a cloud of icy bodies well beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto — and somehow got propelled toward the inner solar system. It’s never passed by Earth before, Phillips said.
A much brighter comet show, meanwhile, is on the way.
Comet ISON may come close to outshining the moon in November. It was discovered last September by Russian astronomers and got its acronym name from the International Scientific Optical Network.
Neither Pan-STARRS nor ISON pose a threat to Earth, according to scientists.
NASA budgets funds for alien life search on Europa
March 4, 2014
RELEASE 14-066
NASA Administrator Bolden’s Statement on the Agency’s FY 2015 Budget Request
The following statement is from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on the Obama Administration’s budget request for the 2015 fiscal year:
“Today, President Obama released his Fiscal Year 2015 budget request for the nation, and there is a lot of good news in it for NASA. The president’s funding plan for America’s space program reaffirms the path we are on, and will keep us moving forward — pushing farther in the solar system and leading the world in a new era of exploration.
“Through NASA’s work at all of our centers, our nation is recognized for scientific and technological leadership and knowledge-sharing that improves lives all around the world.
“Over the past six years, the Obama Administration has invested more than $100 billion in America’s space program, including the $17.5 billion that is part of this year’s budget. The president’s budget, once again, affirms the bi-partisan strategic exploration plan agreed to with the Congress in 2010. It keeps us moving toward the missions and breakthroughs of tomorrow even as it enables the tangible successes of today.
“This budget keeps us on the same, steady path we have been following – a stepping stone approach to send humans to Mars in the 2030’s. It’s a path that has seen many recent successes, from the launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement mission last week — the first of an unprecedented five Earth Science launches this year — to returning space station resupply missions to U.S. soil with private American companies… to the power-up of Orion and the countdown toward its first flight test later this year… to the final mirrors for the James Webb Space Telescope being delivered.
“This budget ensures that the United States will remain the world’s leader in space exploration and scientific discovery for years to come. The budget supports the administration’s commitment that NASA be a catalyst for the growth of a vibrant American commercial space industry, and keeps us on target to launch American astronauts from right here in the USA by 2017, ending our reliance on others to get into space and freeing us up to carry out even more ambitious missions beyond low-Earth orbit.
“We are committed to the International Space Station, and the latest extension guarantees we’ll have this unique orbiting outpost for at least another decade. This means an expanded market for private space companies, more ground-breaking research and science discovery in microgravity – and additional opportunities to live, work and learn in space over longer and longer periods of time.
“This budget keeps NASA’s deep space exploration program on track by funding the Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion crew vehicle to take American astronauts farther into the solar system than we have ever gone before. Our stepping stone approach to sending humans to Mars involves continued research on the space station, testing our new capabilities beyond the moon, exploring an asteroid and ultimately sending a crewed mission to the Red Planet.
“In order to carry out these pioneering missions, we have to develop technologies for our asteroid redirect mission that will lead to the subsequent first crewed mission to Mars.
“This budget funds all elements of that stepping stone approach, and actually increases funding for space technology development and other efforts that will support the first crewed flight of SLS to an asteroid.
“In the coming year, we’ll build on our nation’s record of breathtaking and compelling scientific discoveries and achievements in space, with science missions that will reach far into our solar system, reveal unknown aspects of our universe and provide critical knowledge about our home planet. It includes funding for missions to Mars and the formulation for a mission to Jupiter’s moon, Europa. It also funds science missions already heading toward destinations such as Jupiter and Pluto and operating throughout the solar system, a mission to study our planet’s magnetic system, and steady progress on the James Webb Space Telescope.
“Under this budget, our pioneering aeronautics research program will continue to focus on substantially reducing fuel consumption, emissions and noise – and help make the Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, a reality.
“All of the investments we make at NASA help drive technology and innovation, spur economic activity and create jobs. That is why under the president’s Opportunity, Growth, and Security Initiative, with Congressional approval, NASA will receive nearly $900 million in additional funding in FY15 to focus on specific priorities. This “invest in America” initiative recognizes that the type of innovation and technology development we do helps create opportunity, grow our economy and secure our future.
“The Fiscal Year 2015 budget advances NASA’s strategic plan for the future, and with it we’ll continue to build on U.S. preeminence in science and technology, improve life on Earth and protect our home planet, while creating good paying jobs and strengthening the American economy.
“The passion and dedication of the NASA workforce has taken us to new heights over the past 50-plus years. Today, we build on that strong foundation and carry out new pioneering missions to lead the world and reach even higher. Working together, we turn science fiction into science fact and make the impossible possible.”
A set of slides apparently showing UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ. Three of the slides purport to depict alien spaceships, but they’ve been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes.
“The presentation features three UFO pictures, on slides 35 to 37,”Nigel Watson, author of Haynes UFO Investigations Manual, told Yahoo News.
“The first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud, Illinois, taken on 23 April 1950, the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head, Trenarren near St. Austell, Cornwall,” said Mr Watson, who lives in Plymouth.
“They have been explained respectively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air, a deflated Mylar balloon and an out-of-focus seagull taking a poo.”
Mr Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet.
“The main evidence for the cover-up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs, as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden, is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called, The Art Of Deception: Training For A New Generation Of Online Covert Operations,” he said.
“This was produced by the GCHQ, British secret intelligence agency and features 50 slides related to using the internet for psychological operations.
“It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US, National Security Agency (NSA) and other agencies.”
Mr Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens, so the fact that Snowden leaked the slides could be a big blow to the agencies that use the presentation to train spies.
“Government agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs, and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefs,” he said.
“Such deception can be used as a means of covering-up more mundane terrestrial activities – like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises – or to undermine the credibility of ufologists.
“The overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception.
“Unfortunately, there is no explanatory text with the UFO pictures, so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to make.” – Western Morning News
With California in the grips of drought, farmers throughout the state are using a mysterious and some say foolhardy tool for locating underground water: dowsers, or water witches.
Practitioners of dowsing use rudimentary tools — usually copper sticks or wooden “divining rods” that resemble large wishbones — and what they describe as a natural energy to find water or minerals underground.
While both state and federal water scientists disapprove of dowsing, California “witchers” are busy as farmers seek to drill more groundwater wells because of the state’s record drought that persists despite recent rain.
The nation’s fourth-largest winemaker, Bronco Wine, says it uses dowsers on its 40,000 acres of California vineyards, and dozens of smaller farmers and homeowners looking for wells on their property also pay for dowsers. Nationwide, the American Society of Dowsers boasts dozens of local chapters, which meet annually at a conference.
“It’s kind of bizarre. Scientists don’t believe in it, but I do and most of the farmers in the valley do,” said Marc Mondavi, a vineyard owner whose family has been growing grapes and making wine since the mid-20th century in the Napa Valley. Read more at WashingtonPost
Virus Resurrected from Permafrost After 30,000 Years
A mysterious virus dating back 30,000 years has been discovered frozen in the Siberian permafrost.
Like something from the plot of an X-Files episode, scientists have been able to bring back to life a prehistoric virus that has managed to survive tens of thousands of years frozen in the ground.
While the newly revived virus is not believed to be harmful to anything other than single-celled organisms, concerns have been raised over whether other more deadly variants might one day be released as the planet warms up.
Of particular concern is the possibility that viruses that once plagued the Neanderthals might be capable of infecting humans now that our immune systems have lost lost the ability to deal with them.
“It is true that viruses will be archived in permafrost and glacial ice, but the probability that viral pathogens of humans are abundant enough, and would circulate extensively enough to affect human health, stretches scientific rationality to the breaking point,” said marine virologist Curtis Suttle.
“I would be much more concerned about the hundreds of millions of people that will be displaced by rising sea levels than the risk of being exposed to pathogens from melting permafrost.” Read more at Yahoo
Publisher's Note:I received this as an email from David on Monday and was hoping some of the UFO Digest readers could help him and perphaps contact him with information if any of you have had a similar expereince as he describes below. I would like to thank David for contacting UFO Digest and invite others with sightings and questions to do the same by contacting us. Dirk
Hi I had an encounter some years ago in Scotland but never told anyone till a few weeks ago when I was reading about encounters and orbs and realised it was the same as my encounter.
I reported my story to the another UFOr site and never got a reply so I messages to them again and got a reply saying my email must have went missing and to email again so I did but my emails seem never to arrive so I thought I would try again to contact UFO Digest as I was just wondering if anybody else had had a similar experience.
I was camping with my friends in Scotland and we were staying in a bothy (old croft cottage). I woke at night and went to the door where I saw one of my friends outside with a light shining on him: it was so bright I shouted to him but I got no answer, just then a small silver, what I would say silver ball came straight for me…I could smell static electricity.
It started spinning round and round my head very fast. It felt cold then the light was gone and I was back lying on the floor on top of my sleeping bag and my friend was back in his. I don't know what this means or what it was but I have never told my friends about this as they would think I'm mad so I kept it to myself until now. I was just wanted to know if anyone can tell me what happened and about any similar experiences thank you. My email address is hoolzak@aol.com.
Join Eric, Lon & Sean as we welcome UFO & paranormal researcher / lecturer Karyn Dolan to ‘Beyond The Edge’ Radio.
Karyn Dolan has been interested in spiritual and paranormal subjects for her whole life, but only got involved in the UFO research field in 2000. She began reading about the subject and attending conferences, listening and talking and asking questions. In June 2007 she hosted the premier episode of Through the Keyhole on the Paranormal Radio Network with an interview with Ryan Buell of the Penn State Paranormal Research Society, later featured on the hit television show, Paranormal State. Karyn gave her first public presentation at the 60th Roswell UFO Festival in New Mexico, site of the most famous UFO crash in history.
Since then, Karyn has spoken at several other conferences including MUFON events, the UFO Crash Retrieval Conference, the Jamestown NY Paranormal Conference, and the UFO Congress in Bordentown, NJ. Karyn has also served on the Board of Directors for the International UFO Congress in Laughlin, NV. She currently helps run Keyhole Publishing, which specializes in books about UFOs and the paranormal, work with Mothership Productions, an audio visual company, and also continues to promote conferences and events on her radio show as well as here on her site.
Karyn began hosting Through the Keyhole on the Paranormal Radio Network in 2007, the same year she first presented at Roswell. Since then she’s had the privilege to meet and interview some of the most brilliant and fascinating people around, on topics ranging from the Starchild Skull to demonic possession, to modern science and the nature of the universe. There’s a lot out there that we don’t yet understand, and each week Karyn explores another piece of it. Karyn’s website is at www.karyndolan.com
Date: Summer 1969 Time: 01:00 a.m. PFC Earl Morrison a private with the United States Marines was sitting atop a bunker with two other men enjoying the warm evening air when suddenly, and for no apparent reason, they were compelled to look up into the sky. There they saw a glowing figure flying downward toward them. “…we couldn’t make out what it was at first,” Morrison later told an interviewer. “It started coming toward us, really slowly. All of a sudden we saw what looked like wings, like a bat’s, only it (the figure) was gigantic compared to what a regular bat would be. After it got close enough so we could see what it was, it looked like a woman. A naked woman. She was black, everything was black. Her skin was black, her body, was black, the wings were black, everything was black. But it glowed, it glowed in the night—kind of a greenish cast to it.” Morrison also got a good look at the creature’s wings. “We saw her arms towards the wings,” he explained in his report, “and they looked like regular molded arms, each with a hand, and fingers, and everything, but they had skin from the wings, there was no noise at first. It looked like her arms didn’t have any bones in them because they were limber just like a bat.” The figure flew directly over the men at about a height of six or seven feet. The three servicemen just stared as it flew by, awestruck. Eventually they heard the flapping of wings as she gradually sailed out of sight.

According to local folklore and eyewitness reports a strange group of humanoid creatures was said to inhabit the area around this village. The creatures or humanoids resembled the mythological Cyclopes and were called “Mamun” by the local peasants. They were reportedly much taller than humans and well built. They were also hairy and wore primitive clothing. But the main feature distinguishing a “Mamun” from a human was the fact that the Mamuns were one-eyed creatures. They looked ugly and seemed primitive in nature but never harmed the local people and didn’t approach their households. These creatures reportedly lived in caves and wooded shacks inside the dense forests. One type as some villagers worked the fields in the vicinity of the forest a local woman had brought her children with her and had placed her youngest child in a cradle on a hammock closed to the forest. When the child (a girl) fell asleep the mother went to the fields to work. After a while a strange inhuman wailing moan was heard coming from the area where the woman had left her child sleeping, the moan definitely did not resemble a sound made by a crying toddler. The mother of the girl ran to the cradle and when she reached the hammock she began to scream in terror. As others gathered they could see that instead of her daughter in her place there was a naked deformed, one-eye toddler, the creature was weeping and wailing loudly in a strange voice. It became apparent that the Mamuns had taken the human child and replaced it with one of their own. The village council soon gathered and numerous villages armed with scythes, axes and pitchforks marched towards the forest onto the abode of the Mamuns. Is not cleared what happened next but it was reported that the Mamuns brought the human child back to her mother. Later the strange humanoid creatures were exterminated by the locals.
