THE ALIEN AUTOPSY..."OH NO!... NOT AGAIN" By Neil Morris.
In most UFO circles, “The Alien Autopsy” (a.k.a. “AA”) is a subject of derision, it's that silly hoax story “Ant and Dec” made that film about. But stay with me while I flog this “dead horse” just one more time and in the process, I hope to stir your interest just enough to get you thinking that there really is more to this old tired hoax story than meets the eye. We all think we know the “AA” story, but which one do you know? More... Also read: THE ALIEN AUTOPSY..."OH NO!... NOT AGAIN" - PART II

IS A MASSIVE UFO HOAX BEING PLANNED? by Lori Carter.
I get irritated when I hear of someone hoaxing a UFO sighting or ET experience. It is an insult to those of us who have actually had an experience that has changed our outlook, our lives. We have to live each day with what we saw or what happened to us, knowing and wondering what else is going on that is hidden from us through secrecy, lies and screen memories. Lost time and the indications of unpleasant encounters such as we had on our tapes can haunt you for the rest of your life. Researching, searching, and researching more cannot always help you find the answers, but can, in fact, take you in directions that lead to more discoveries of the strange, dangerous, unknown, and paranormal.

NOTHING LIKE US: EXAMINING REPORTS OF NIGHTMARE ENTITIESby Edward Crabtree.
In a colossal science fantasy story by Herbert Wells, First Contact is made with an alien species. Our first sight of them is not a happy one: they look nothing like us! A lock unscrews on the cylindrical projectile which has been shot from the planet Mars only to alight in Surrey, England. What clambers out has a sideways beak and is octopus like. The narrator’s reaction is one of horrified disgust – and this is before they have declared their hostile intent! More... Also read: NOTHING LIKE US: EXAMINING REPORTS OF NIGHTMARE ENTITIES - PART II
CLARKE'S 2010 ODYSSEY II LOOKS PROPHETIC AS US AND RUSSIA TENSIONS INCREASE OVER THE UKRAINE by Carolyn Shield.
In the 2010 Hollywood film based on Arthur Clarke's book 2010 Odyssey II, astronauts are confronted with their countries being at war with each other. The ramifications of a US and Russia war scenario brings up the question what about the International Space Station. Many treaties have been signed but when war happens these treaties disintegrate. The US has a weak spot in their Space program in the fact that Russia transports personnel to the Space Station. As of September 2013, Russia’s complex in Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan is the only one giving rides to humans to the International Space Station. More...
THE WORLD WILL CHANGE FOREVER: COURTNEY BROWN by Gordon J. Gianninoto.
Zetatalk had been stating for almost two years that our president would announce the presence of Planet X, the likelihood of Poleshift, and the existence of Extraterrestrials. I know from speaking of it, that most people say they would eat their hats if any such announcement in whole or part were to be made ever. Logically though, I felt inclined to believe the announcement would have to occur because if all of a sudden PX appears in the skies and no government had mentioned it, then all credibility would be lost. Many believe that no government has credibility now, so they think the announcement will never happen. More...

To provide a quick historical overview of the location: the earliest inhabitants of the area that archaeology has found traces of were the Cimmerians, who were expelled by the Scythians (Iranians) during the 7th century BC. The remaining Cimmerians that took refuge in the mountains later became known as the Tauri.
According to other historians, the Tauri were known for their savage rituals and piracy, and were also the earliest, indigenous inhabitants of the peninsula. In the 5th century BC, Greek colonists began to settle along the Black Sea coast, among them the Dorians from Heraclea, who founded a sea port of Chersonesos outside Sevastopol.
It is near that city that one Vitalij Gokh claimed to have discovered a pyramid in 1999.
Gokh had worked for the Soviet military for more than thirty years, before retiring to his dacha in Sevastopol. With time on hand, he decided to engage in lines of research that his career had never allowed him to do. One of these was the exploration of his new surroundings. This led him to discover… a pyramid… but not as anyone would know one.
The public were told of the “pyramids of the Crimea” in the summer of 2002, when Gokh made his claim: there were pyramids buried underneath the earth, as well as under some of the coastal waters of the Crimea – an area known to contain some submerged towns.
How had he made this discovery?
As a former engineer, he was well-acquainted with instruments using magnetic resonance, and had built a device of his own making. As the area of Sevastopol was known for its poor water supplies, he developed an instrument to search for subterranean naps of waters; the instrument performed extremely well during testing, and Gokh was ready to begin a survey of the Sevastopol area, in search of potable water.
Their fame spread; in 2002, Gokh’s group was invited by the government of Mauritania to find water in the Western Sahara. In the area of the town of Atar, the team claimed that a large supply of fresh underground water was located. This preliminary conclusion was confirmed by drilling. Under the layer of solid eruptive rock, at a depth of 240 meters, an underwater stream was indeed discovered. The value of these resources was enough to provide all necessaries in water of the region.
Before, he had refined the system so that specific type of photography could occur from the air, thus able to cover larger areas; he also adapted the system for the search of oil, gas and precious metals, finding a willing partner in the oil company Chernomornefte-gaz.
The entrance shaft to the underground pyramid
As early as the summer of 1999, his instrument had uncovered an underground anomaly on the periphery of Sevastopol: it was, as Gokh would later claim, the first pyramid. On site inspection revealed at first a rather ordinary, rocky landscape, but they then found an opening, leading down. At a depth of 9.20 meters, there was one solid slab of chalk.
Trying to penetrate through the slab – with little success at first – Gokh and his partners in exploration succeeded to shine a lamp into the cavity: it was empty, even though from the ceiling, some quartz stalactites hung down – matched by similar ones that grew from the ground up. The team believed they had stumbled upon an old crucible, but could not find any traces of metal. They continued digging, but it was equally clear that Gokh’s group of three (both of his colleagues, Dr. Mukhudin and Dr. Taran, being engineers as well) needed more manpower; five other people were invited to join.
Soon, several limestone blocks were found. As these had regular dimensions, ca. 2.5 by 1.5 meters, it was assumed these had been man-made. Having worked over a distance of thirty meters and analyzing what they had discovered so far, one member of the team, Taran, suggested they had definitely discovered a pyramid.
The problem was: it was underground.
By the spring of 2000, Gokh had once again improved his instrument, which now also allowed for vertical surveys. This could potentially corroborate the shape of the structure they had found. The result was that they were indeed inside a structure that had a square base, each side measuring 72 meters long: it was a pyramid. Its height was ca. 45-52 meters, its top almost at ground level.
The instrument also apparently revealed that from the top of the structure, three beams of energy emanated, at frequencies 900x109 Hz, 700x109 Hz and 500x109 Hz. Around the pyramid, a field of 10x109 Hz was noticed.
The digging also revealed signs in the surrounding layers that the pyramid had originally been open to the air, but that flooding at some point had brought in clay and other substances that one would associate with an area that became flooded.
If there is one pyramid, could there be more?
The search area was extended. Eventually, the team concluded that on a straight line, that went from Sarych to Baia Kamyshovaia, and which runs northwest-southeast, a total of seven pyramids were present. One of these pyramids was located under water, near the city of Foros.
Finally, Gokh extended his search for the entire Crimea peninsula and concluded that there was the possibility of a total of thirty-odd pyramidal structures for the whole country. At the same time, the scans had revealed another anomaly, of an object that was not pyramidal in shape; its curious profile, turned towards the west, suggested a structure that might be quite similar to that of a Sphinx.
Spirits were high and something seemed to be moving. But as all of these pyramids seemed to be located underground, excavation would be both costly and time-consuming. The next step was thus the most difficult of all: money. Only money would allow the team to continue the excavations in such a manner that would result in the confirmation that the Crimea had at least one – if not several – pyramids.
The next step was also the problematic one. The town of Sevastopol and the National Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine were not interested. Still, Gokh’s insistence resulted in some form of co-operation, which resulted in a ground survey of the area. It stated that the area had been inhabited, with signs from the 4th century BC until the first centuries AD. Such a survey did not contribute much, nor reveal anything that wasn’t already known.
But there were certain reasons why these institutions were unwilling to fund further research: as is so often the case, they boiled down to rather extra-ordinary claims made by the discoverer himself. If Gokh had merely argued that the Crimea had at least one, potentially up to thirty pyramids, it would have laid a solid foundation for further archaeological research.
Instead, Gokh added further speculation that these pyramids were part of a global system, whereby various rather high-tech regulators – the pyramids – were used to receive cosmic energy, which was modified, and then distributed across the planet. According to Gokh, the pyramids were scientific instruments, there to control and stabilize the land masses of planet Earth. Add to this the date he proposed for their construction: the system would be approximately 16,000 years old – or date from 14,000 BC.
Even Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval or John Anthony West only dared to posit 10,000 BC for the Sphinx – and leave any speculation about the age of the Great Pyramid up to the reader’s mental workings.
One of the diagrams produced by the team, explaining the construction.
Rather than these rather extravagant claims, the Crimean pyramids did not make it into the book for a more mundane reason: all we know for sure is that there is one vertical shaft, descending near Sevastopol, in which Gokh’s team have been doing excavations. Though they have produced some rather nice graphs as to how the entire pyramid is supposed to look, I did not see any actual scans from the instrument Gokh had developed to back the graph up.
Though I discovered two email addresses for Gokh, one was defunct; from the other I never received a reply. It was therefore possible that there was something to it, but it was still far too early to say what. Furthermore, my judgment was that even if they proved to be pyramids, they were unlikely to transform the overall pyramid debate.
Just after the completion of the manuscript, in July 2006, Gokh tried to use the interest in the Bosnian pyramid to gather interest in the Crimean pyramid, repeating that he needed money to finish his excavations. Despite needing more money, the statement said that tens of scientists from different countries were now performing an archaeological excavation of the pyramid, and that a result was expected later in the summer. Several months on, there was no information made public and Gokh’s contact details once again did not solicit a reply.
Unfortunately, Gokh not only stood by his previous rather extravagant claims, he now elaborated on them, stating that,
“the majority of scientists [that had visited the site] consider that the underground pyramids of Sevastopol confirm the guess of American scientists [that] about 65 million years ago an ancient civilization died out because of the fall of giant meteorite.”
This is something of a muddled statement: indeed, American scientists such as Luis Alvarez argued that the dinosaurs became extinct when a giant meteorite hit the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 65 million years ago. But the likes of Alvarez do not make any provisions for pyramids, or an advanced human civilization building these pyramids – let alone the Crimean pyramids being part of such a theoretical network.
Furthermore, would “real scientists” claim that these pyramids were 65 million years old? It seemed very unlikely.
Gokh did not stop there: the line along which the seven pyramid sites on the peninsula were found, runs, as mentioned, from northwest to the southeast. Gokh had now extended this line to gigantic proportions, arguing that Stonehenge was located on this line, while on the other side, he located “the pyramid of Tibet” and “sunken pyramids of Easter Island” – both rather imaginary pyramids.
Worse, he then linked both imaginary pyramids to the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Mu.
Gokh obviously had hung the theory before the pyramid, and not the other way around. In good 19th century tradition to link the dimensions of the Great Pyramid with the Bible and a biblical timeline, Gokh had used an unexcavated pyramid – which might not be a pyramid at all – as “proof” of a lost, global civilization. The worst was his speculation that this pyramid, together with other, non-discovered and hence most likely non-existing pyramids, were there to “balance out” the Earth – potentially in 14000 BC – or 65 million years BC.
Not to cut any pyramid theory short without giving it a proper airing, Gokh claims that,
“astronomers already noticed that some planets radiate more energy, than receive from the Sun. The similar situation is observed also with some stars.”
According to Gokh, this was due to “torsion energy”, developed inside the centre of the Earth.
“The source of fuel for such a reactor is a physical vacuum – the torsion field of the Universe. It consists of two opposite kinds of particles: torsions and antitorsions. In a torsion reactor […] an effect of torsion and antitorsion ‘frequency acceleration’ is taking place up to such degree that they begin to merge and initiate a chain reaction.”
He continues:
“the source of a subtle feed of celestial objects is provided by a Galactic Beam, emanating from the centre of the Galaxy. Consistently passing seven cosmic belts, it synchronizes its vibration. The energy liberated as a result of such frequency reduction (braking frequency), is directed on power maintenance of celestial objects’ live ability.”
In case you wonder what this has to do with the pyramids:
“These energies come, in particular, to a nucleus of the Earth, from stars through pyramids, mixing up in a power cocktail by means of a Shamballa Crystal – a kind of a carburetor – and then are delivered to the Earth Nucleus.”
The tunnel inside the pyramid
Worse is yet to come: the claim was made that there were 144,000 pyramids on Earth, varying in size and location. The basic pyramids were grouped in twelve places on all populated continents. All pyramids were connected by power channels, to other “pyramid fields” and to the crystal nucleus of the Earth, which controlled the operation of the system.
Twelve basic groups of pyramids, control, in turn, another twelve smaller groups, or, to throw in some mathematics: 12 times 12 equals, 144 times 1000, equals 144,000. In case you are wondering, each of the 144 basic pyramids controls the operation of another 1000 pyramids.
And just like the Great Pyramid before was linked with the Bible, guess what: the 144,000 pyramids of the Earth correspond to the 144,000 Biblical Chosen Ones.
“Each of the 144,000 chosen has a pyramid of ‘his own’.”
I have not written this expose of the Crimean pyramids to make fun of Gokh’s theories or thinking. I have used it to show that Gokh is a modern-day example of “the pyramidiot”, a term used by archaeologists and Egyptologist largely to denote a profile of people who read much – too much – into a pyramid (specifically the Great Pyramid), a practice that was common in the late 19th century, and which saw, in the eyes of the Egyptologists, a resurgence in the late 20th century, specifically with the likes of Robert Bauval and co.
The “pyramidiot” is typically “an amateur”, in the best sense of the word, who believe, often rightfully so, to have made a discovery. They try to interest archaeologists, but this seldom works. Consequently, they often begin to formulate stronger claims, or theories, in the hope that some people will hear, and in a rather vain hope that archaeologists will now definitely have to take note. Then, often, archaeologists still do not engage, and a dangerous chasm is breached, in which the mind does indeed seem to spin out of control, and “the pyramidiot” is born.
Most discoverers, in whatever field, take it to “step two”: going slightly too far in their claims, thus exposing themselves as someone who is easily shot down. It is unfortunate, and unfortunately, few interested parties seem able to show forgiveness for unguarded, often one-off remarks, said in the best of interest. The best example of this is Sam Osmanagich, who may have once said that possibly the Bosnian “Pyramid of the Sun” might have been 12,000 years old.
Archaeologists entered an endless debate whether he said it, where, and used the very fact that they were debating the issue as proof that they should not direct any attention to the pyramid itself. It is typical of how the field of archaeology often spins incredible tales themselves, creates character assassinations that are as idiotic as the pyramidiots are supposed to be in their theories.
Unfortunately, in the case of Gokh, his claims were so outlandish, that the Crimean pyramids have gone largely unreported. But it seems that there is at least something there. It may even be a pyramid.
It seems, however, that no-one is willing to do even the most basic validation of that possibility.
Little is known about this case, there has never been any independent confirmation of it:
Location. Near Koyulhaisar Turkey Date: May 14 1964 Time: night
Mr. & Mrs Ahmed Bey were driving on a road by a railroad track when a rotating luminous disc “the size of a house” appeared in the sky ahead of them. It moved jerkily and with hesitations, as if in difficulties; then it abruptly descended, and struck the ground with a burst of flames. Just as it fell, an “enormous hairy creature” escaped from it and fell to the ground beside the road a short distance in front of the Bey’s car. Apparently unhurt, this being, “making fantastic leaps,” came toward the car. Mr. Bey stopped it and got out with a knife in his hand; as the giant came up to him, he tried to stab it. The creature seized him, lifted him up, & let him fall, and trample upon him. Mrs Bey fled from the car and ran back along the road until she came to a police station. The police found Bey, beaten to death, on the railroad track.

The mysterious skull and metal fragments were found in the southern Bulgarian Rhodopes on 21.05.2001 . They brought a lot of excitement in south-eastern Europe , for scientists like UFO buffs .
He has the size of a baby head. 6 holes in it , and none since where one must suspect the mouth . Thinner and lighter (250g) than bone in humans.
The skull was a resident of 38 years in Plovdiv, he remains anonymous. He showed his find to a small circle of interested paranormal .
The Bulgarian archaeologist Katja Malamet discussed the original article in the Turkish newspaper Milliyet . She had never seen such a thing .
There is nothing comparable or an analogy to other known science hominids , the director of the Paleontological Museum in Asenovgrad .
Prof. Yordan Yordanov The anthropologist believes the skull does not resemble any Fund in the last 30 million years.
From the perspective of the renowned Bulgarian media Koubrat Tomov it could be a product of the Atlanteans be a servant , a scientific experiment that failed.
Scientists want to await DNA testing and carbon-14 analysis to determine the age . The metal is also to be investigated.
The Finder was already offered money. Here is also the risk that the object disappears .
The discovery by the man from Plovdiv took place after he had a strange dream , with 5 aliens in yellow overalls. The reported him to a certain point on the Bulgarian- Greek border.

Location. Bjelovar, Croatia (Yugoslavia at the time) Date: June 1967
Time: morning The witness, Professor Franjo Friedel was on his way to cut his overgrown brush among some young poplars in his backyard. He had been going there every day for the last week. The poplars had been planted a year and a half ago and they were over 3 meters tall and their tops were thick with leaves. He could see between the rows of trees, but because of the thick vegetation he could not see on his sides. As he walked deeper into the woods he thought he saw a figure walking between the trees. To him it appeared to be a person, perhaps a soldier, since the figure appeared to be wearing a helmet and a gray-green suit. Friedel was not surprised since there was an Army installation nearby and the soldiers often drilled in the area. He had often found dugouts on his property. He then took the “lawnmower” (more like a handheld sickle) off his shoulder and began to cut the brush. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw that the figure he had seen before was now approaching his location. At this point he noticed that whoever it was, it was wearing a very unusual uniform, but he still thought it was soldier wearing a special outfit unknown to him. The figure approached and said “Hoyyek!” in a loud voice (this is what the witness thought he heard) at the same time a sort of high-voltage current went through Friedel’s body, which momentarily stunned the witness as he realized that he was facing an unknown entity (perhaps an extraterrestrial). The witness also realized that the entity had said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid!”The entity stood in front of the witness and again said in his strange language “Bhlira ohggy nohm!” which the witness later learned it meant ‘Time is short”. The witness felt isolated and unaware of his surroundings, he attempted to answer with a greeting, but his voice was stuck in his throat. The strange entity stood only about 2 meters away from the witness and this time in the witness’s language communicated, ‘I came to tell you, that everything is all-right with you. If you agree I want to continue to contact you.” Friedel wanted to tell the intruder that he agreed to his request, but he couldn’t utter a word, he felt strong palpitations and pressure in his head in between the temples. He just nodded his head in an affirmative answer. The entity then said, “Keep the secret, I will be back! Hoyyek!” He turned around and walked away taking very quick steps. As the entity walked away the witness remained in a stunned confused state. While the entity disappeared from sight the witness saw in between the vegetation a bluish gray object in motion that appeared to be rotating. He couldn’t see the entity any longer. The object lifted up emitting a strung gust of wind that vigorously agitated all the leaves on the ground. Almost noiselessly the object ascended vertically, made a sort of jerk and then flew in the direction of the nearby railway it then gained altitude and disappeared from sight. Friedel’s legs felt weak so he sat down. He sat on the grass for a long time thinking about what he had just experienced. He couldn’t understand why he had not been able to move or ask any questions. Suddenly, he heard a voice in his mind that said, “We are in a safe place now and you shall be at peace”. It was clearly a telepathic message. He recovered from the shock and got up, he somehow felt ‘extraordinary’ and as he walked back to his house, he felt that it was a day to ‘celebrate’. He walked into the horse stalls and lay on the fresh hay and attempted to recall everything about the encounter. In his mind he repeated the scenes of the encounter. He described the entity as about 125-130cm in height, with a broad and strong body fitted with a dirty green color uniform or suit that appeared to be made out of flexible leather. He could see a round ‘box’ on the chest area, he could see the entity’s chest muscles which resembled that of a woman’s breast. However his voice was deep and that of a male, his speech was abrupt and rhythmic, unlike a human voice, and seemed a bit sing-song in nature. When he departed, the witness saw another similar round box on its back, like the one he saw on its chest. From the box on its back three cables or three tubes protruded out and connected to the helmet. Below the visor Friedel saw a frilled tube which was connected to the round chest box. The peculiar ‘box’ appeared to be ‘transient’ in color, like oil on the water. He wore gloves on his hands and contoured boots with very thick soles which possibly made the entity appear taller. The soles appeared flexible when he walked. There appeared to be a glass enclosed hole on his helmet that looked like a camera lens. He did not see the object as well as he saw the entity but he described it as disc-shaped, with a sort of tail and rotating. The body of the object seemed to be composed of three different sections. Both, upper and lower section of the object, which seemed to be rotating, with a mid-section that seemed stable, there was a hole in the lower part of the object. There were also a lot of small round windows on the upper section. From the mid section of the craft there appeared to be some kind of bluish exhaust flowing out. He did not hear any engine noise only the rustling of the trees and leaves. Like a mirror, sunshine reflected on the object’s surface. He estimated the size of the object as several average cars put together.

Forty years ago, America seemed on the edge of disaster. The country’s involvement in the Vietnam War drew to a close without even an illusion of victory. The vice president resigned in disgrace. The president was embroiled in a scandal that seemed almost certain to end with charges of impeachment. A war was raging in the Middle East between Israel and Egypt. Arab oil-producing countries announced an embargo against the United States for its support of Israel, and gas prices soared. Misunderstandings between the U.S. and the Soviet Union regarding the war pushed the two countries to the brink of nuclear confrontation, with the U.S. military on DEFCON 3 alert for first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
And amidst all this chaos, aliens descended on Dixie.
The fall of 1973 brought one of the largest waves of UFO sightings in U.S. history. Hundreds of reports poured in to news outlets across the country, with the greatest concentration in the Southeast. And Tennessee was no exception. Newspaper accounts chronicle unknown objects in the night skies and even a few reports of “high strangeness” on the ground. September and October became an “Autumn of Aliens” as adults shook their heads in disbelief and kids gobbled up the news with a mixture of excitement, wonder and fear.
In Nashville, the encounters began on Sept. 3, 1973: The Tennessean reported a sighting by a South Nashville homemaker and her three children, who described a distant light that changed colors, then a red triangular object with three white lights moving rapidly across the sky. Metro police investigated but proclaimed the lights to be out of their jurisdiction.
Perhaps because of MNPD’s declaration, reports in Nashville didn’t attract much attention for the next few weeks. But West Tennessee law enforcement apparently didn’t get the memo. On Sept. 25, The Tennessean reported that Shelby County deputies in Memphis spotted a whirring, hovering craft sweeping the ground with two white spotlights. Later in the week, similar objects were reported by sheriffs in Lauderdale and Obion counties. Judging by news reports, the UFOs seemed to be edging closer to Middle Tennessee, making their first landfall in Giles County on Oct. 1. The Pulaski Citizen reported that three teenage boys witnessed the landing of an egg-shaped craft near the Anthony Hill community and a large, hairy, stiffly walking occupant.
Reports continued to trickle in from Tennessee and around the country throughout the first week of October. They began to flow like a gusher of swamp gas after one of the most famous abduction cases in UFO history broke on Thursday, Oct. 11. That evening, two dockyard workers in Pascagoula, Miss., said they saw a light approaching them as they were fishing on the banks of the Pascagoula River. Within minutes, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were confronted by wrinkly-skinned eyeless gray creatures with long arms ending in claws. Hickson and Parker were paralyzed and “floated” into the hovering craft for a short examination before being dumped back on the shore. The story took the national media by storm, and while no one could explain what had really happened to the pair, those who met them almost all agreed they had experienced something truly terrifying.
In the week that followed, reports of strange lights, unusual aircraft, landings and bizarre occupants proliferated across America. On Oct. 15, the Pulaski Citizen reported that a Berea, Tenn., family saw lights in the woods, and a separate witness spotted a being with a glowing white head crossing a highway nearby. Claw-like tracks were later discovered in the road, as well as what appeared to be landing marks in the woods.
The Oct. 17 issue of the Nashville Banner reported sightings from around Tennessee — Columbia, Hartsville, Knoxville, Lawrenceburg, Lebanon and Mt. Juliet. The next day, The Tennessean reported glowing cones and saucer-shaped objects in Clarksville, a triangular object hovering over a car near Springfield, and the tale of a Putnam County farmer menaced by two lights that barreled directly toward him before shooting almost vertically into the sky.
Then, at last, the visitors entered MNPD’s jurisdiction. The Tennessean reported several sightings from around Nashville on the evening of Oct. 18 — including a silver, cigar-shaped craft, a glowing blue mist and a trio of hovering, glowing objects. After showing off for their respective witnesses, the objects vanished with great speed. The next night, the blue mist was back, along with more glowing hoverers emitting a cacophony of humming and whistling noises.
Reports from Tennessee and around the country began to slow in November, even as interest in UFO books, magazines, TV shows and movies began to take off. In the years that followed, the aliens crept into all corners of pop culture, evolving far beyond the fad status they achieved in the flying saucer craze of the 1950s. The various alien hijinks and accoutrements gradually formed a cultural cornerstone, supporting tales of abductions, big-headed “Grays,” crashed saucers, government conspiracies and all manner of cultural tropes. Whether you want to believe or remain a hardline skeptic, there’s little doubt that the great UFO wave of 1973 was one of the most successful viral marketing campaigns ever, whoever — or whatever — was running the show.
Time: daytime This village was named after its deep trenches in which wolves were formerly capture. One day local villagers were amazed to see two very unusual children crawling out of one of these trenches. A girl and a slightly younger boy, they were both dressed in strange clothing and spoke an unintelligible language. But by far the most striking characteristic of these children was their skin color, which was green. Unable to communicate with them, and thoroughly perplexed as to what should be done, the villagers took the girl and boy, who were weeping and very forlorn to the home of Sir Richard de Calne a local landowner. Here they remained treated with great care and kindness by Sir Richard and his servants. But the boy fell ill and in less than a year he had died. Happily however the girl survived and as she grew older her skin’s green hue gradually disappeared. She eventually married a man from King’s Lynn in Norfolk, a senior ambassador of Henry II according to some sources, and became known as Agnes Barre. During her years in Sir Richard’s household, Agnes learned English and was eventually able to reveal something about where she and her brother had come from and the manner in which they had reached Woolpit. She claimed that they were from a Christian place called St. Martin’s Land, where it was always twilight (and also where according to one medieval chronicler of this story, everything was green), and which was separated from a much sunnier place by a wide river. One day while tending their father’s flocks in a field, Agnes and her brother had been led away by the sound of church bells into an underground realm, and then somehow found themselves in Woolpit.

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.
