NASA Conspiracy UFO Sightings & Alien Structures
NASA Conspiracy – UFO Sightings & Alien Structures
Is it possible that there could be an entirely different history of human spaceflight than what the public generally believes? This presentation initially covers the bizarre encounters between Apollo 10 and the eerie “Music” heard behind the far side of the Moon, as well as the tracking of multiple UFOs that follow the Apollo 10 spacecraft and appear under intelligent control.
The film also explores the possibility that NASA has known for some time about an extraterrestrial presence on the Moon and Mars – and the ancient structures and artifacts they’ve left behind. Images and video footage from lunar and martian spacecraft reveal tantalizing evidence of unusual structural and vehicular objects on and around other worlds. A strange, unidentified craft seen by both Apollo 10 and Apollo 11, as well as vector and velocity changing UFOs seen by the ISS, are also presented.
Does the evidence point to a secret space program? Do these organizations know what humanity has always wondered? If the answer is yes, then what is it that “they” may be trying to communicate to us through their activities and what they’ve left behind.
UFO sighting over Nantan, Alberta, Canada on 16th March 2014
UFO sighting over Nantan, Alberta, Canada on 16th March 2014
Witness said: A mother and daughter who live on a ranch just outside of Nanton are scratching their heads after a couple of unidentified flying objects flew over their southern Alberta home late last Sunday night.
Sam Martine says she and her daughter were watching TV when they saw two bright lights hovering over a field less than a kilometre away from their home.
Martine says when they went out on the porch for a closer look the lights quickly flew towards them, spooking their cattle.
“Then the light just started coming straight at us and it went straight over our house and headed to the northwest behind us,” said Martine. “I’ve never seen anything like that before.”
Martine’s 14-year-old daughter Baylie tried to take a picture of the objects with her cellphone, but said the camera was acting weird.
“The picture went completely green and later on that night it ended up deleting itself.”
Sam Martine was able to get her DSLR camera working, but only got a few photos. They are still not sure what they saw but the story is getting plenty of attention on the internet.
While experts aren’t convinced this is a UFO, they say sightings in Alberta are quite common.
According to the Canadian UFO Survey, which is co-authored by Rutkowski, there were 1180 sightings in 2013 and more than a hundred of those sightings happened in Alberta.
And this isn’t the first time paranormal activity has been reported in Nanton.
“There was a video taken of three lights moving in the sky where three lights were fading and reappearing for quite some time … also in March — March 29 of 2004 [at] about 9:30 in the evening,” said Rutkowski.
UFO Disclosure interview: Sergeant Pretko Hawaii and Roswell
UFO Disclosure interview: Sergeant Pretko – Hawaii and Roswell
Buck Sergeant Pretko was trained in communications and served at Hickam Field in Hawaii. In the early ’50s at an outdoor theater with over 250 people present nine silver disks were seen by everyone randomly moving over the entrance to Pearl Harbor. The event lasted for about 10 minutes. At another time he explains that he befriended one of General Douglas MacArthur’s personal security guards who told him that MacArthur had seen the craft and extraterrestrial bodies from the Roswell crash.
One of the most unusual legends to come around that most people would scoff at immediately and wave their hand in the air, bemoaning all conspiracy theories, is the concept of alien bases on earth. These bases, some attribute to being hidden underwater (hence the sightings of USOs, unidentified submersible objects and a vast ocean to hide in) and others believed to be underground.
Part of this legend includes the concept that the aliens have equipped in the earth, silos that can take out any intruders, be it meteor or alien race, and keep us under their safe keeping. Let's talk about some of the correlations being made -
Tunguska
TUNGUSKA – Siberia 1908 – an enormous explosion destroyed hundreds of square miles and it was believed to be caused by a meteor that was made up of mostly ice and exploded above the ground, not leaving a real crater. But,Yuri Lavbin has spent 12 years researching the mystery of the “Tunguska meteorite” and believes he has found the key to one of the great scientific enigmas of the last century, though many scientists remain sceptical. He is president of the “Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon” Foundation in Krasnoyarsk, made up of some 15 enthusiasts, among them geologists, chemists, physicists and mineralogists, who have been organising regular expeditions to the area since 1994. Lavbin's theory is that a comet and a mysterious flying machine collided 10 kilometres (six miles) above the earth's surface causing the explosion. He and his team say that on an expedition to the Podkamannaya Tunguska river in July they found, between two villages, two strange black stones in the form of regular cubes with their sides measuring a metre and half (five feet). These stones “are manifestly not of natural origin,” Lavbin says. They appear to have been fired and “their material recalls an alloy used to make space rockets, while at the beginning of the 20th century only planes made of plywood existed.” He claims that the cubes are the remains of a flying machine, perhaps an extraterrestrial spaceship, while admitting that an analysis of the stones has yet to be undertaken. He found something else: a huge white stone “the size of a peasant's hut” stuck in the top of a crag in the middle of the devastated forest. “Local people call it the 'reindeer stone'. It is made of a crystalline matter which is not typical of this region,” Lavbin said. He suggests it is part of the core of a comet.
NASA Footage
Another bit of evidence some believe supports this theory is this NASA footage (go to the 40-second mark) Was this an alien base shooting an incoming competitive alien craft? That's what some believe.
UFOs Over Military Sites
Other supporting evidence includes the UFOs that hovered over missile silos and other strategic places in the latter 1960s. It's believed by some that this was a show of curiosity about what we might be doing to destroy the very planet they help to populate and develop.
Fast Development Of Technology
Some would say that advances in our technology coincided with us discovering one of the bases and being forced to capitulate to our very designers and protectors.
This is not our planet, would be the assumption, we are only leasing.
Area 51
As if to add more fuel to the fire, some believe there is more proof that aliens have been among us and that Area 51 is the seat of much knowledge in that regards. They say that Bob Lazar who claimed to help work on reverse engineering UFOs was accurate in his depiction of how they do it – especially now that the element UnUnPentium has been found!
Wikipedia: For the propulsion of the studied vehicles, Bob Lazar claims that the atomic Element 115 served as the fuel. Element 115 (temporarily named “ununpentium” (symbol Uup)) reportedly generates a miniscule gravity field which can be tapped and greatly amplified because the field happens to extend just beyond each atom's outermost electron shell. Exactly how this field is accessed, however, remains unclear. But the end result is allegedly a highly directional gravity distortion field. Under proton bombardment, furthermore, it is claimed that the atoms of Element 115 produce antimatter particles which participate in a process of extremely efficient energy production for powering any and all systems and subsystems within the craft. The mass of the nuclear fuel aboard each craft was said to be approximately two kilograms and was enough to last for several years before requiring replenishment. The large-scale gravity distortion effect is produced by three independently steerable waveguides or tubes within the craft and results in a foreshortening or compression of space-time that would, in effect, greatly shorten the distance and travel time either to a local or interplanetary or, possibly, an interstellar destination.
Interestingly, in 2003 - (Discover Magazine)- an international team of nuclear physicists and chemists found new and confirming evidence that establishes another new chemical element — one of the growing family of superheavy substances. The team created 30 atoms of element 115 by firing a beam of calcium atoms at a piece of americium foil. The radioactive ununpentium (a temporary name meaning “one-one-five”) existed for only a fraction of a second before decaying into other elements. Next, physicists and chemists will try to make more of the mysterious metal to explore its “table manners” — its properties and structure.
Abductions
Alien abductions are also talked about being a way that the aliens manage to check in on our development, how we evolved and adapt to our changing conditions and planet.
In Conclusion ….
Evidence seems to accumulate that aliens do visit the earth and they use craft and then they retreat and they are interested in us and what we are doing and they may even feel a pride of ownership in this experiment called Earth.
If one adds up some of the weird occurrences relating to aliens and UFOs, this explanation, as outlandish as it sounds, holds some promise as for motivation for visiting us on this planet.
Are they really from an origin far away? I'd find that hard to believe, not just by means of getting here from that distance, but because if they had bases here and craft, over time they would need to produce metal for repairs and other elements that would be quite obvious that they were smelting and preparing and utilizing our resources. It's not like they have a UFO factory here and it is not something they could necessarily do underground or undersea. They would have to exposed to get what they need.
So, that leaves us with another possibility, that they are trekking back and forth from another realm/world/dimension and can go back and forth readily, leaving them not exposed to our sightings as much as they would be if they were existing here. In other words, they come, check on us yearlings, and then go back. Any protection systems they have planted in our world, would go off automatically when incoming arrives, kindof like a security system in a home. Do I subscribe to this concept of alien bases? Not really, but it certainly ties up a lot of different concepts together, so kudos on the theory!
Location: Exelgroud, near Gdansk Poland Date: July 18 1943
Time: afternoon
Daniel Leger had set out on foot to a nearby location and had taken a short cut over the sand dunes running along the beach. Reaching the top of a dune, he observed a peculiar metallic object, of a gray aluminum hue, embedded in the sand. Approaching the device he saw a human figure crouched on the ground, attempting manually to remove the sand that covered the lower part of the object. Although only the back of the figure was visible, Leger noticed that it was a woman, with long blond hair, slim waist, and broad hips. Thinking she was a German aviator, he tried to sneak away. But the woman seemed to have been aware of him. She turned around and stood up; she was well above 6’ tall. She wore a tight fitting one-piece suit of dark brown cloth, without pockets or fasteners, emphasizing her feminine form.
Leger also observed a pair of pads on each calf, the upper part of which appeared like boots, of the same color. A four-inch wide belt encircled her waist; it had a square silvery buckle. She had white skin, devoid of any kind of cosmetics, but with slightly slanted Asian-like eyes. The craft looked like a “colonial hat” or two plates joined together, separated by a middle section consisting of two rings with a black line between them. It was about six meters in diameter and two meters in height. Several square portholes with rounded edges were spaced on the upper section. The aviatrix began talking to Leger in an unknown guttural language. Gesturing animatedly with her hands while talking, she gave him to understand from this that she wanted him to continue the work she had started, removing sand from the craft.
Leger obliged and after about 10 minutes succeeded in freeing the object from the sand. The woman appeared to be happy about this and, smiling continued talking to Leger. Suddenly realizing that he did not understand a word, she finally pointed to the sky, tapped her chest with the palm of her hand 2 or 3 times, and did the same to him. She then placed her hand on her buckle, whereupon a rectangular opening immediately became visible on the lower part of the craft’s hull. The woman entered the craft after indicating to Leger he should move away. The panel closed, leaving the hull looking as if the door did not exist. Through one of the portholes, Leger observed that the interior was devoid of instruments. He saw the aviatrix sprawling on all fours in the middle of the floor. A slight rumbling sound could be heard and two rings on the craft began to rotate at an ever-increasing speed, the lower one clockwise the top one counterclockwise. The dark stripe separating the rings became luminous and began to vibrate, at which point the craft rose from the ground, slowly at first, then suddenly accelerated and disappeared in a northerly direction at very high speed.

Three witnesses were walking around the Stone Circle at the famous archeological site of Stonehenge, when a strange entity appeared from behind one of the standing stones, 50 yards away. It was humanoid in appearance, about six-foot tall and appeared to be wearing a dark dress suit and a top hat, its face was fish like, dark gray and scaly. Its hands were also scaly and it was holding a pair of white gloves. The entity took a few steps forward and at this point a very low flying airplane that swooped over them suddenly distracted the witnesses and when they turned their heads the figure had already somehow vanished.

Police officer Williams slowed his car when he saw what looked like a dog by the side of the road. It stood up to be a tail less creature with leather like skin & a face like a frog or a lizard, 3 or 4 ft tall. It leaped over the guardrail & went down the embankment to the river.

Police officer Johnson’s headlights picked up an animal lying on the road. As he opened his car door, it rose up on its hind legs & showed itself to be a leathery skinned biped with a frog like face, 3-4 ft tall, like that seen by Williams 2 weeks before. It stepped over the guardrail & went down the embankment of the river. Officer Johnson took a shot at it, but missed.

Another interesting UFO case from Australia, this time a School in Victoria.
At approximately 11.00 am on Wednesday, 6 April 1966, a class of students and a teacher from Westall High School were just completing sports on the main oval when an object, described as being a grey saucer shaped craft, with a slight purple hue and being about twice the size of a family car, was sighted.
Witness descriptions were mixed: Andrew Greenwood, a science teacher, told “The Dandenong Journal” at the time that he saw a silvery-green disc. According to witnesses the object was descending and then crossed and overflew the high school’s south-west corner, going in a south-easterly direction, before disappearing from sight as it descended behind a stand of trees and into a paddock at The Grange in front of the Westall State School.
After a short period (approximately 20 minutes) the object – with witnesses now numbering over 200 – then climbed at speed and departed towards the north-west. As the object gained altitude some accounts describe it as having been pursued from the scene by five unidentified aircraft which circled the object.

Former Air Force officer claims UFOs were cover-up in Mirage Men film
Home / Articles / Former Air Force officer claims UFOs were cover-up in Mirage Men film.
A former Air Force officer claims UFOs were used as a cover-up in the new UFO documentary Mirage Men. The film which originally premiered at select film festivals in June of last year will be available to rent and stream online beginning March 27th.
The movie is based off of the 2010 book Mirage Men: An Adventure into Paranoia, Espionage, Psychological Warfare, and UFOs by Mark Pilkington, a British journalist and filmmaker. The book asserts that the U.S. military was responsible for planting stories about UFOs to the public in order to conceal secret military projects.
The film centers around Richard Doty, a former Air Force officer who served in the Office of Special Investigation in the 1980s. Doty claims that he fed disinformation about UFOs in order to keep the public from discovering classified secret projects. He also alleges that the government has had contact with extraterrestrial civilizations and that UFOs are extraterrestrial crafts. His alleged disinformation campaign came at the cost of UFO researcher Paul Bennewitz, that account can be found in the October/November 2013 issue of Open Minds magazine.
“How the US government created a myth that took over the world: UFOs: weapons of mass deception… For over 60 years teams within the US Air Force and Intelligence services exploited and manipulated beliefs about UFOs and ET visitations as part of their counterintelligence programmes. In doing so they spawned a mythology so powerful that it captivated and warped many brilliant minds, including several of their own. Now, for the first time, some of those behind these operations, and their victims, speak out, revealing a true story that is part Manchurian Candidate and part Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
Their sexuality makes no difference regarding our friendship since they know I'm heterosexual and that's perfectly fine with them. If you think the men might be less than masculine then think again. I'd use the word ' fierce ' in describing the men.
Our relationship hasn't always been smooth sailing. They once threw weapons at me twice on the same day. At that time we were in the getting to know one another stage and I pressed the wrong buttons with a few ill considered jokes aimed at them.
Unless you don't mind an electrical grid placed in midair, right next to you and burning your arm I'd recommend not pushing the off color joke envelope too far. As a reminder of their disapointment in me they later put a smaller version of the weapon on the passenger seat of my car.
“Thinking of you,” seemed to be that message.
So, that's how we met and remember I didn't know they were human at the time but I did know they were on my side.
Regarding extraterrestrials you're either on one side or the other. One is good and the other is bad. There is no middle ground.
It took years for them to accept me. I distinctly remember one particular telepathic exchange in which I asked twice for clarification concerning a particular subject.
The answer I received was: ” We only say things once. “
And that contact didn't sound awfully friendly either.
However, I never forgot that incident and realized that he was dead serious.
Although we've known of each other for four years my friends waited until this year to tell me that they are, in fact, human. They will not offer any hints or indications of what our future holds. Nor do they provide me with any futuristic expectations. In other words, we're on our own as far as their concerned.
Extraterrestrial battles are raging all around us. These can be seen in the daily meteor/fireball sightings. Roughly 90% of these things target the United States.
Since meteors from space can't consciously target a 6% land mass over any planet or produce 90% of all meteorical activity over that 6% area assigning the label meteors to, what could only be, aerial ET battles is fantasy. They aren't meteors they're ET craft.
Because we are considered their children my Human ET friends are engaged in aerial battles with Greys. The 2013 Russian meteor explosion near Chelyabinsk was actually a downed black triangle piloted by Greys.
By typing ' Russian meteor UFO ' in YOUTUBE anyone can see the susposed meteor has no tail, is being repeatedly fired on and its size compares to that of a black triangle.
Over the last year we've become much closer. I've become telepathic on a full time basis and I assume that's because we've been working together so much. In fact, I'm now considered a companion to them which holds some measure of dignity.
There are many personal, very touching moments we've shared but I won't be sharing those experiences.
Once I was simply fed up with all things extraterrestrial. The Greys, the Humans – all of it. I wanted no contact, no telepathy, no suggestions from anyone. I wanted to be telepathy free like everyone else. They respected my wishes and did not contact me.
That lasted all of two days. Hey, the Greys are beyond lunatics but the Humans I need.
Publisher's Note:I found this article in my Google Alerts. It concerns an object spotted and phototgraphed by many people across Gloucester, UK. The article by citizenmike appeared on the Gloucester Citizen website. It is interesting in that many people have photographs but still don't know what the object was: aliens, ufos and meteors have been ruled out. Enjoy Dirk
Aliens and meteors have strangely enough been ruled out as an explanation for the phenomenon seen in Gloucestershire’s skies on Sunday evening.
Tongues are wagging as to what the object was that was caught on camera by people all across Gloucestershire.
More readers have submitted their own snaps of the mysterious sight.
Andrew Hill, from Tuffley, spotted the phenomenon from Haresfield Beacon. He said: “It looks like falling debris with fire or flames at the front of the trails.
“In the image there are four trails. I hope we will get some reason for this phenomenon soon.”
Reader Paul Hooper also wrote in to say that he was in South Worcestershire when he saw what looked like a ‘UFO falling to earth’.
Astronomer John Fletcher, who runs the Mount Tuffley Observatory from his Tuffley home, ruled out anything falling from space such as a meteor or UFO.
He said: “This is likely to be a distortion of a vapour trail from a jet airliner as it enters the twilight zone in the atmosphere.
“If it was a meteor then it would have been much faster. I can rule out it being anything falling from space.”
As we journeyed through Peru we arrived at Ollantaytambo, Peru some 60 kilometers northwest of the city of Cusco. It is located at an altitude of 2,792 meters (9,160 feet) above sea level in the district of Ollantaytambo, province of Urubamba, Cusco region. At the time of the Spanish conquest of Peru it served as a stronghold for Manco Inca Yupanqui, leader of the Inca resistance. Nowadays it is an important tourist attraction on account of its Inca buildings and as one of the most common starting points for the three-day, four-night hike known as the Inca Trail. Tourists from all over thw world gather to not only trek into Machu Picchu but also to take a vistadome train car to Aguas Calientes via PeruRail.
i will write an entire article about Ollantaytambo in the weeks ahead.
Here is my ticket from PeruRail.
A small town called Aguas Calientes or Machupicchu Town is the tourist jumping off point for Machu Picchu. According to Wikipedia: Aguas Calientes (Spanish for “hot water” or “hot springs”), sometimes referred to as Machupicchu Town, is a town in Peru on the Urubamba (Vilcanota) River. It is the closest access point to the historical site of Machu Picchu, which is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) away or about a 1.5 hours walk. There are many hotels and restaurants for tourists, as well as natural hot baths, which give the town its name. The baths were destroyed by floods several years ago, but have been rebuilt.
Machupicchu is built almost entirely on the side of a mountain.
This street full of shops and restaurants rises from the valley floor and climbs high into the mountains evenually arriving at the famous hot springs the town is known for.
Local Incs's walk the very steep paths and live is small homes along the mountain side.
As mentioned previously Aguas Calientes is known for its hot springs. Many of our group including Carolyn and myself walked the several miles uphill to experience the delights of the mountain water.
See the river below. It runs the entire way from the top of this mountain to the town below.
Here I am struggling to climb continuously uphill to visit the hot springs my partner insisted that we visit.
After spending a day relaxing we took a bus up the side of this mountain to Machu Picchu. The bus hugged the mountain and the curves as buses passed buses, inches from drops that could literally shallow up tourist buses. As I mentioned in a previous article buses came to a stop to let others safely proceed.
These photos were taken at Machu Picchu.
Here I am taking a break, relaxing out of the sun next to a water fountain.
Walking along this trail one can see the terraces hugging the sides of the mountain descending to the valley below as well as the trail hugging the mountain and leading to other towns along this the famous Inca Road which stretches between 25,000 – 30,000 miles.
Most groups of visitors arrange to have a government regulated Tour Guide accompany them and explain the historical signifiance of the many sacred buildings and sites throughout. This was the case for our group at Machu Picchu. These tour guides are university trained and licensed by the Peru Tourism Bureau. From what I learned the remunertion was very good.
My partner Carolyn taking a photo break with the Inca ruins in the background.
This is a close-up of the famous Condor head which uses the sides of the walls to depict the Condor's wings.
This ends my series on Peru although other photos and videos could occur diuring the weeks and months ahead. Hope you enjoyed it. Dirk
Extra information about the article:
This small towns were perfect for conditioning one legs for the many uphill treks to come.
On April 17, 1897, a mysterious airship is said to have crashed in the town of Aurora, Texas…exploding into many small fragments. Reportedly, the occupant was child-sized and greenish, and the craft contained papers covered with hieroglyphics. The pilot’s body is supposed to be buried in the local cemetery.
Legend has it that residents of Aurora, TX, had their own alien encounter more than 100 years ago. Just north of Fort Worth, Aurora has a population of 376. Something about it is different…mysterious, and some say, down-right weird.
“It’s just a legend,” said Barbara Brammer, Aurora Historian.
April 19, 1897 would change this town’s identity forever.
“They said, ‘Have you heard of the Martian that crashed his aircraft into a well site in Aurora?,’” Brammer said. “And I said, ‘No.” A former mayor, Brammer first heard the story of the UFO crash shortly after her arrival in the 1950s. “I kept the legend going whenever I was teaching or when we had new people in to the community,” she said.
Legend has it that in 1897 a number of reports came in from across the country of a cigar-shaped flying machine. An article in the “Dallas Morning News” reported that the craft came crashing down in Aurora. Today, the “crash site” is an old well, sealed with concrete. “About noon, the fire had gone out enough that they could get in there and see what really happened,” Brammer said.
According to a report filed by an Army officer from nearby Fort Worth, in the crash debris was the body of the pilot said to be badly disfigured and ‘not of this world.’ “They scraped up all the stuff that they could find, brought it down here to the cemetery and gave him a Christian burial,” Brammer said.
The grave site remains today under a tree in the old section of the cemetery. “They eventually came down and put a marker on it,” Brammer said. “The marker has been gone for several years.” It was stolen, Brammer believes, by souvenir hunters. The cemetery has been designated a “Texas Historical” site for, among other things, the legend of the UFO pilot.
No one has ever been able to prove the story or rule it out. In the 1970s, The Texas Mutual UFO network asked to dig up the grave but was denied. “The cemetery board said, ‘You’re not going to touch that,’” Brammer said. Board members denied the request, she said, because they were worried Spotted Fever, which wiped out much of Aurora around the time of the incident, would rear its ugly head again.
In 2008, another group of UFO hunters used ground-penetrating radar and did find a mysterious, unmarked grave. But the grave was so deteriorated, the radar simply could not identify what was there. So, the alien mystery continues, and the legend of Aurora is the only real thing that remains.
“It’s a good story,” Brammer said. “It’s got to be a good story. It’s been around 112 years.”
The old “Judge Proctor” place in Aurora, Texas, site of the crash, is still locatable, and the town square is still in its original position, but unfortunately most of the original buildings of the town, those dating to the 1890s, are long gone. Some evidence, however, does endure to the present day. The original article, reporting the Aurora,Texas Incident, as written in 1897, in the April 19th edition of the Dallas Morning News reads as follows:
By E. E. Haydon – “About 6 o’clock this morning, the early risers of Aurora, Texas were astonished at the sudden appearance of the airship which has been sailing around the country. It was traveling, due north, and much nearer the earth than before. Evidently some of the machinery was out of order, for it was making a speed of only ten or twelve miles an hour, and gradually settling toward the earth. It sailed over the public square and when it reached the north part of town, it collided with the tower of Judge Proctor’s windmill and went into pieces with a terrific explosion, scattering debris over several acres of ground, wrecking the windmill and water tank and destroying the judge’s flower garden. The pilot of the ship is supposed to have been the only one aboard, and while his remains were badly disfigured, enough of the original has been picked up to show that he was not an inhabitant of this world.
Mr. T. J. Weems, the U. S. Army Signal Services officer at this place and on astronomy, gives it as his opinion that the pilot was a native of the planet Mars. Papers found on his person. evidently the records of his travels. are written in some unknown hieroglyphics and cannot be deciphered. The ship was too badly wrecked to form any conclusion to its construction or its motive power. It was built of an unknown metal, resembling somewhat a mixture of aluminum and silver, and it must have weighed several tons. The town, today, is full of people who are viewing the wreckage and gathering specimens of strange metal from the debris. The pilot’s funeral will take place tomorrow”.
The Aurora crash was, in fact, the culminating event in a rash of “airship” sightings in East and Northeast Texas, Oklahoma, North and Central Louisiana in the period between 1895 and 1898. Robert Atkinson, of Center, Texas, a veteran of the Spanish American War, often told of seeing, as a teenager, strange, “flashing lights” in the sky, as did Polk Burns of the same city. Similar incidents were recountered by Bud Knight, a prominent resident of San Augustine, Texas, who died in 1981 at the age of 108. Lee Choron, who died in 1976 at the age of 94 recalled seeing “moving lights flashing in the sky” while living in Swift, Texas (near Nacogdoches) while in his “teens”. Nor, were civic records and town newspapers of the time completely silent on the matter. Reports, although not common, do exist. On April 22, 1897 in the small central Texas town of Rockland, John M. Barclay was intrigued when his dog barked furiously and a high-pitched noise was heard. He went out, saw a flying object circling about 20 feet above ground. He described it as having an elongated shape, with protrusions and blinding lights, it went dark when it landed, only a short distance from his home. Barclay was met by a man who informed him that his purpose was peaceful and requested some common hardware items to repair the craft. He paid with a ten-dollar bill and took off “like a bullet out of a gun.”
On that same day, April 22, 1897, some one hundred miles away, in the community of Josserand, Texas, Frank Nichols, who lived some five miles east of Josserand, and was one of its most respected citizens, was awakened by what he called a “machine noise”. Looking outside, he saw a heavy, lighted object land in his wheat field. He walked toward it, but was stopped by two men who asked permission to draw water from his well. He then had a discussion with half a dozen “short, dark men” men, apparently the crew of the strange machine. He was told how it worked but could not follow the explanation.
Three days later, on April 25, 1897, in Merkel, Texas. People returning from church served a heavy object being dragged along the ground by a rope or cable, attached to a “cigar shaped” lying craft. As the assembled crowd watched, the line managed to get caught in a railroad track. The craft was too high for its structure to be visible but protrusions and a light could be distinguished. After the craft hovered in place for about 10 minutes, a man came down along the rope cut the end free, and went back aboard the craft, which flew away toward the northeast. The man was described by all witnesses, as being small and dressed in a light blue uniform.
The next day, late in the evening of April 26, 1897, near the town of Aquila, in South Texas. A local lawyer, whose name was not reported by the press, was surprised to see a lighted object fly quietly overhead as he was riding from his office to his home, just outside the city limits. His horse was scared and nearly toppled his carriage. The object was large, and “oblong”, and sported a bright light that was observed to be sweeping the ground below the object. When the main light was turned off, a number of smaller lights became visible on the underside of the dark colored, metallic craft, which revealed an elongated, transparent canopy. It continued forward, toward a hill, some seven miles to the south of Aquila. When the witness passed the same way, approximately one hour later, he saw the object rising. It reached the altitude of the cloud ceiling and flew to the northeast at a fantastic speed with periodic flashes of light.

A 1986 movie, The Aurora Encounter produced by Charles B. Pierce, tells the tale. The official historical marker was installed by the State of Texas, and although nobody knows exactly where the grave is located, it is certain that the alien was, in fact, buried in the Aurora Cemetery, after the efforts of the local doctor failed to save it’s life following the crash. There is, unfortunately, no sign of the tombstone. It was stolen some years ago and never recovered. There are, however, picture records of its existence.
There is currently a renewed movement in town to exhume the body of the alien, replace the headstone and do a complete search for remains of the crash. Also, there have been several interesting pieces of metal found in the area that have been confiscated for analysis by the military and never returned.
News of the Aurora incident remained dormant for almost a century, until May 24, 1973, when newspapers around the country published the following United Press International account:
“Aurora, Tex. — (UPI) — A grave in a small north Texas cemetery contains the body of an 1897 astronaut who “was not an inhabitant of this world,” according to the International UFO Bureau. The group, which investigates unidentified flying objects, has already initiated legal proceedings to exhume the body and will go to court if necessary to open the grave, director Hayden Hewes said Wednesday.
“After checking the grave with metal detectors and gathering facts for three months, we are certain as we can be at this point [that] he was the pilot of a UFO which reportedly exploded atop a well on Judge J.S. Proctor’s place, April 19, 1897,” Hewes said. He was not an inhabitant of this world.”
NOTE: I’ve been told by investigators of this incident that they believe the government retrieved the body and the original tombstone in 1973…sometime during the period of legal wrangling between the owner of the cemetery and the Texas Mutual UFO Network MUFON…Lon
Senator Nelson must be reading UFO Digest. I have been writing about how US government is in a real pickle with Russia.
Nelson flew on the Space Shuttle so he should have understood the ramifications of retiring the shuttle with no other alternative means of human space travel. What were they thinking? The vulnerability of America is showing.
Nelson recognizes that Russia is our only way up to the trillion dollar ISS. Tickets are 70 million per astronaut. Russia might change its mine on how much it will cost for that ticket. Capitalism is all about making money and right now Russia has a monopoly on human space travel.
The United States is allocating needed assets to deter Russia from annexing Crimea by imposing economic sanctions against their leaders. This may be the time not to pay Russian millions of dollars to get our astronauts up into space but rather invest that money into our own private space programs.
Our Congress and Presidents have let the American people down. Senator Nelson is pointing this fact out too. Wouldn't it be better not to outsource our space program to Russia and to pay Americans instead?
On the bright side, the newspapers and NASA has reported its work as usual on the International Space Station (ISS). Some people think they should get the Nobel Peace Prize for showing how the two countries can achieve peace. It has to be a bit nerve racking up there when you see headlines like “Russia will make US into nuclear ash” threatens military.
America used to be at the forefront of space travel. Our national security has become vulnerable and Russia has proven that. America is working on the SpaceDragon X program, which should be running in 2017. NASA is working on a new space launch system but we need it today. Putin has shown America that it's vulnerable. We should never be at the mercy of a foreign power by being seduced by outsourcing.
We need to invest in America for goodness sake its American's money.

Two days after Lady’s body was found a Denver pathologist named John Henry Altshuler, M.D. [4] examined the horse’s carcass. According to testimony he provided years later:
“When I got to the horse, I could see that it was cut from the neck down to the base of the chest in a vertical, clean incision. At the edge of the cut, there was a darkened color as if the flesh had been opened and cauterized with a surgical cauterizing blade. The outer edges of the cut skin were firm, almost as if they had been cauterized with a modern day laser. But there was no surgical laser technology like that in 1967. … I cut tissue samples from the hard, darker edge. Later, I viewed the tissue under a microscope. At the cell level, there was discoloration and destruction consistent with changes caused by burning. …Then inside the horse’s chest, I remember the lack of organs. Whoever did the cutting took the horse’s heart, lungs and thyroid. The mediastinum (central chest compartment for organs) was completely empty – and dry. How do you get the heart out without blood? It was an incredible dissection of organs without any evidence of blood.” [5]
Dr. Altshuler also discovered that hemoglobin located at the edge of the cutting site had somehow been cooked.
“The animal mutilation excisions do NOT show any carbon residue. But Earth life is carbon-based and all tissue exposed to the heat of a normal laser should show carbon residue that looks like black pepper grains under microscope magnification.” [5]
Portal incisions through which internal organs are removed are found to be uniformly smooth and bloodless with serrated edges similar to those produced by a tailor’s pinking shears, or from the impression made by a cookie cutter in dough.
Soft tissues removed from the cavity of mutilated carcasses include those associated with the digestive, reproductive, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic and respiratory systems.
Bodies Found in Trees and Power Lines
In addition to the actual physical mutilations, other strange factors are consistently related to these incidents. For example, in some cases the ground beneath a carcass is markedly depressed suggesting that the animal was dropped from a considerable height. Consistent with this impression, the limbs, ribs, and other bones of the dead animals often show fractures consistent with trauma caused by sudden impact. In a few cases, trees in close proximity to the dead animal show evidence of broken boughs and branches again suggesting the carcass had been to the ground. A related observation is that occasionally, the carcasses of large wild animals like dear, elk and rams are inexplicably found in trees or entangled in high voltage power lines necessitating their removal by utility companies.
Then there is the factor of carcass avoidance. Contrary to official belief, Dr. George E. Onet [6], a doctor of veterinary microbiology and cattle mutilation investigator, claims that the carcass of mutilated cattle are consistently avoided by large scavengers such as coyotes, wolves, foxes, dogs, skunks, badgers, and bobcats. Furthermore, even domesticated animals are “visibly agitated” and “fearful” of a mutilated carcasses. This observation is frequently reported by cattle owners but is apparently disregarded by officials as being too anecdotal to warrant consideration.
Bias for Younger Victims?
Statistical analysis of mutilated animals has thus far been very limited. However, Dr. Howard Burgess [7] has reported from the study of a limited survey of mutilated reports that nearly 90 percent of cattle are between four and five years of age. Since their average longevity is between 15 and 25 years, it would appear that the perpetrators of these acts have a bias for younger bovines. Unfortunately, Dr. Burgess’ finding has not as yet been replicated.
The only consistent clue regarding the cause of these mutilations are reports of UFOs, strange nocturnal lights, and occasionally of dark, unmarked helicopters operating in the vicinity of where mutilated cattle are later found. Such sightings have fueled suspicion among ranchers that either UFOs or some secret government agency is responsible for the loss of their livestock. One must wonder why the military or covert government agency would so boldly experiment on domestic cattle when such activities could be carried out far more discretely at a private government facility. Interestingly, over the course of nearly half a century, law enforcement agencies have not been able to identify a single person responsible for carrying out these acts.
Circular Depressions Left Behind
While no tracks are evident at mutilation sites, other strange physical traces are occasionally observed. These traces consist of large discolored circular rings in the soil which defies any normal growth of vegetation for long periods of time. They are in fact quite similar to, if not identical, with physical traces left behind by known UFO landings. Occasionally smaller triangular depressions are also found. Their shape would suggest possible landing gear. Obviously, these clues should be carefully followed up by investigators.
Animal mutilations are not limited to the western states and Canadian provinces. They are found wherever cattle are herded throughout the world. It is now well established that these events are global in scope. Since the publication of Lady’s mutilation, thousands of similar cases have emerged from around the world. Recognized “hot spots” of activity include such divergent regions as Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, parts of Europe, the Canary Islands, China, Southeast Asia and Australia. Needless to say, many other mutilation sites have not been investigated or made public. While the number of reported cases is not easy to estimate, approximately 10,000 have been collected dating back to the mid-1960s.
One European country prominently involved in the private investigation of mutilation cases is the United Kingdom (U.K.). There a group known as the Animal Pathology Field Unit (APFU) which has been diligently investigating such cases since 2002. Their work and findings have been brought to the public’s attention though the lecturing efforts of Richard D. Hall [8]. The APFU is now prominently involved in a continuing investigation of sheep mutilations affecting many rural areas of the British countryside. But while sheep mutilations have dominated their concern, investigations have also been conducted on a wide range of other domestic and wild animals.
An Array of Animals Mutilated
The mutilation pattern found in sheep is very similar but not identical to those reported in cattle. Occasionally cats and dogs and other small domestic animals are found cut in half with their internal organs gutted out. The APFU has also found many wild creatures such as badgers, groundhogs, and even small deer are often decapitated with the heads dispersed a great distance from their torsos. Another unusual mutilation pattern has been noted in foxes and small deer. Their mutilations consists of a small hole is bored through the upper skull from which the animals brains are mysteriously removed.
Land animals are not the only creatures found mysteriously mutilated. In the northern U.K., large numbers of seals and dolphins have been discovered mutilated in a strange corkscrew pattern. Initially government officials attributed these findings to accidental deaths caused by contact with propeller blades of large ships. However, investigations by the APFU have failed to pinpoint any association with any known watercraft or other mechanical devices found at sea. Furthermore, the remains of these sea creatures are often found some distance inland far from where these animals would presumably wash ashore.
As in the U.S., British sheep herders have turned to law enforcement for assistance in determining the cause of mutilations in their flocks. So far the results have been mixed. By and large, law enforcement officials have been frustrated by their inability to either determine the source of these crimes or to capture those responsible for the mutilations. In turn, law enforcement has sought the assistance of veterinary pathologists for forensic clues. Thus far veterinary findings have been inconclusive. The unusual nature of these mutilations has led most veterinarians to refrain from drawing any conclusions over the precise cause of the mutilated animals’ deaths.
Even so, a small number of law enforcement officers and concerned veterinarians have ventured to offhandedly state that the mutilations must be extraterrestrial in origin. This view has not been well received by their respective organizations, the scientific community, and especially governmental authorities. Even the media has generally “pooh poohed” the notion that extraterrestrials are involved. Reluctance of authorities to carry out more comprehensive investigations of the phenomenon has only exacerbated the situation. To date nothing has been resolved. All the while cattle, horses, sheep and a host of other domesticated and wild animals continue being mutilated.
Noting more examples of these mutilations would add little to what has already been presented. But cases similar to those seen in the U.S. and U.K. are being reported throughout the world. The only significant correlation to these mutilations has been their association with unidentified nocturnal lights and dark, unmarked aerial vehicles. Quoted below is a typical example of such reports. This report is dated July 15, 1984, from the Sunday Times in Perth, Australia:
“Cover-up alleged over UFO-linked animal slaughter: Many reports of UFOs and strange lights in the sky. Farmers in the Adelaide Hills have discovered mutilated animal corpses and burn marks on the ground. … In one incident, researchers say a farmer discovered four cows with holes drilled into their skulls and the brains removed…” [9]
A Review of the Evidence
At this point it would be worthwhile reiterating a number of consistent facts relating to the mutilation phenomenon. They are:
1. For the past five decades horses, sheep, goats, and a variety of other domesticated animals, as well as a wide range of wildlife and even aquatic creatures have been found mutilated throughout the world.
2. These mutilations have been carried out in a premeditated fashion with great efficiency and precision.
3. One of the most common characteristics of these mutilations is the complete absence of blood in and around the dead carcasses.
4. A common mutilation pattern in cattle and sheep consists of: (1) a jaw swipe whereby all muscle and tissue are removed down to the bone usually on one side of the jaw, (2) the removal of one or both eyes and ears, (3) excision of the tongue deep at its root, (4) removal of internal and external genitalia, and (5) removal of digestive and other soft internal organs through small circular orifices cut through the flesh.
5. Circular or tear shaped orifices to the inner viscera show a laser-like cauterization on their borders leaving what resembles small “cookie cutter” like serrations.
6. Other reported mutilations include decapitation, bifurcation of the torso with all internal organs removed, small portals bored through the skull from which the brains have been removed, and in the case of seal and porpoises, deep corkscrew lacerations running along the entire length of their bodies.
The third and final installment of this article will be published tomorrow Sunday, March 23, 2014!
It was twilight on a warm Sunday evening in mid-June 1970 in East Aurora, NY. Patrick’s mom and sister were fussing with something in the garage, but eleven year old Patrick didn’t care about that. He was blissfully involved with shooting baskets in the driveway before bedtime.
He was dribbling back to his shooting position when he noticed an odd light coming toward him. His first impression was that it was just a low flying airplane or maybe a helicopter. He thought to himself, that’s no big deal.
1970 UFO – TWO BEINGS IN THE COCKPIT
He shot another basket retrieved his ball and while returning to position he glanced back at the bright object. That’s when he realized that this thing wasn’t making any sort of noise; this puzzled him. He kept watching the object as it slowly and silently flew over the tops of the neighborhood’s tall maple trees.
Adult Patrick recounts to us “that he sort of felt helpless.” He just stood there and stared at this thing as it silently glided over the tree tops toward him. When the object got to within a football field length from him he was able to make out that it was spherical in shape and had a yellowish color but not glowing. As the object hovered at tree top level a mere few houses away he was able to make out a “cockpit.”
“That’s when I saw them!” Patrick said. He clearly saw two occupants silhouetted by the cockpit light. He tells us “the being on the right was apparently standing up; arms spread apart apparently standing at a control panel.” Then he clearly remembers, “The other occupant was sitting down, as I could only see its shoulders and head.” He could make out that the beings had round looking heads and slim bodies.
He’d been observing this thing for what seemed like 10 minutes when finally the object passed overhead. That’s when he “stuttered a call” to his sister to come see. But before she could reach him, Patrick glanced back at the object, just in time to see it rapidly climbing high into the night sky.
He says his sister, “Didn’t see it, but due to my excitement, she knew he had just seen something.”
Patrick jumped on his sister nearby bicycle and quickly rode to the school parking lot in an effort to catch another look at this amazing thing. “I didn’t see anything but stars.”
As we all know the weather in New York the past few months has been horrid. As a result sighting reports are down significantly, so let’s look at some NY sightings from the early 1970’s:
9 August 1970: at about 1 p.m. a Rotterdam resident was in front his house with family and saw an object nearby that clearly wasn’t a conventional aircraft. Upon closer observation he says they saw a saucer shaped object hovering in the neighborhood; suddenly it flew away at tremendous speed.
10 July 1971: sometime in the evening a Bayside Queens resident and family witnessed a glowing flying disk hovering near the utility poles.
Summer 1972: at about 6 p.m. a Merrick resident was out riding a bike and witnessed a ball of fire light travelling at 90 degree angles.
September 1972: at about 9 p.m. eight Katonah residents witnessed a strange bright object hovering at tree top height in a nearby field. The report states that the object was changing colors then silently took off at great speed.
10 July 1973: at about midnight a number of Geneseo residents observed a cigar shaped UFO object was slowly moving just above tree line and was being followed along county roadway by two town police, a state trooper, and civilians in their vehicles for about seven miles.
August 1975: sometime in the evening a Sanborn family was motoring on State Route 31 when a bright object descended from the sky and hovered over the car, terrifying the passengers. The account was only recently reported by the family for fear of ridicule.
1 July 1975: at about 10 p.m. some Bethpage residents were having a summer night’s conversation when they noticed a strange object fly and hover close to or over Grumman Aerospace site. It was a disk shaped object with a rim of flashing lights around its border.

doesn't seem to be such a fantasy these days. If the space programs were here in America, we wouldn't have this problem.
