Extraterrstrials Statues In Nucu Hiva Island, French Polynesia ?
Extraterrstrials Statues In Nucu Hiva Island, French Polynesia ?
Temehea Tohua located in Nucu Hiva, the largest of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia. This beautiful yet unique island is home to some of the most strangest statues that we have come across in some time. Several statues seem to represent beings that do not appear to be from this world, but what are they really? Artists imagination or something that was seen at a certain period in time at the island?
There are approximately 2,000 inhabitants living on the island, where they work for the government, the community, school system, farming coconuts, fishing, raising cattle, native crafts, and tourism.
At first glance they seem just seem like “big statues” but upon closer inspection, interesting details are revealed; Big eyes, large elongated heads, small bodies/huge bodies, and other several strange looking features that make you wonder what could have inspired the artist to carve such non-human features?

Where are the UFOs?
Where are the UFOs?
If there is one thing that can be said, for sure, about the UFO issue in the second decade of the 21st Century, it’s that the subject is not what it once was. No, I’m not talking about the people in the field. As they have always done, they continue to research, investigate, strut around flaunting their egos like pompous peacocks, and engage in petty and pointless arguments that usually amount to damn-all. Rather, I’m talking about the phenomenon of UFOs.
It really only takes even the most cursory of all glances into the ufological past (and by that I mean since 1947, the year in which the flying saucer first caught the attention of the world), to see that matters have changed noticeably in the last 10 to 15 years.
Where are the classic landing cases of the Maurice Masse type? Gone. Where are the long-haired “Space Brothers” of the California desert? F****d off home, that’s where. How about all those radar-visual cases involving pilots of the 1940s and 1950s? Taken a hike, that’s what. Even today’s reports of abductions don’t come anywhere near the figures of the 1980s and early 1990s.
Yes, of course, people still see UFOs today, and yes we occasionally get a case that borders upon being a classic. But, for the most part, things have changed drastically. It boils down to this: whether the entities behind the phenomenon are extraterrestrials, John Keel’s ultraterrestrials, Mac Tonnies’ cryptoterrestrials, time-travelers, demons, or something beyond our ability to properly understand, one thing seems pretty certain: their actions have most assuredly been scaled down across the last decade or so.
The late UFO researcher Karl Pflock was fond of stating that he fully believed there was a genuine UFO phenomenon in our midst. He also believed, however, that it arrived in the mid-to-late 1940s and vanished back to wherever it surfaced from in the early-to-mid 1970s. Personally, I don’t think it’s so cut and dried as that. But, I do think he had a point.
Indeed, one only has to pick up the books of such long-gone characters of Ufology as J. Allen Hynek, Edward Ruppelt, Jim and Coral Lorenzen, Leonard Stringfield, and Morris Jessup to see that the skies were packed with UFOs in decades equally long-gone. Today, they are far less than packed.
So, where am I going with all this? Well, here’s where: if the UFO phenomenon continues to shrink – in terms of both quality cases and presence – where does that leave the ufologists? Out on a limb? Screwed? Left to do little more than re-read those now old, worn books that they bought when UFOs really were saucer-shaped? Or destined to do zero, aside from raging at one another?
Some might say “Yes!” to all of the above. Personally, I think those same scenarios will most definitely play growing roles in the future of Ufology. I also think, however, that there may be an additional development. It may well be the case that the UFO research community will be forced to spend more and more time digging into older cases – as in decades-old cases – to try and fathom the truth about the UFO mystery.
Certainly, to an extent, we are already seeing that. Beyond any shadow of doubt, the one UFO case that dominates Ufology more than any other is Roswell. And it’s a case that is fast-approaching its 70th anniversary. That alone should tell all of us something about which era – past or present – is most relevant to the field of today. Just a week or so ago, a story surfaced concerning allegations that long-buried Roswell evidence has finally been uncovered. Well, such was the controversy that the revelation kicked-off, it reached near-stratospheric proportions!
What this tells us is that many ufologists are already recognizing and realizing that if they are to get the answers to the UFO puzzle that they seek, it’s sure as hell not going to be by addressing today’s reports of “lights in the sky” and so on. The answers are to be found in history, in the past. It may well be that, 10 years from now, the primary role of the UFO seeker will not be to investigate current cases as such, but to take on the role of historian. And that would not be a bad thing.
Let’s face it: excellent, in-depth work of a historical nature has been undertaken to ensure that we know (to the extent that we can) the facts surrounding such matters as the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the American Civil War, the Black Death pandemic of the 1300s, the period in which the dinosaurs walked the Earth, and…well… you get the picture. All of that first-class research has been done by people who were not even alive when the events occurred. Ufology could do the same.
Now, it may very possibly be the case that things will come full circle and, in a year from now, the skies will be just like they were in the summer of 1952: that’s to say packed with saucers. But, equally, that may not be the case. Those days may be gone – forever. Should the latter scenario prove to be the correct one, then ufologists should brace themselves for a radical shake-up in terms of what passes for research.
Living in the past for the sake of nostalgia is a pointless and pathetic thing to do. But digging ever deeper into the past for the truth behind the UFO mystery may not be just a worthwhile thing to do. In a few years from now, if current trends persist, it may be the only way we’ll ever get close to lifting the veil.
Rick Wiles at TRUNEWS was joined by investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen on March 24, 2014, for a riveting show on her findings after interviews with 19 men who served at the uber secretive Area 51 base in Nevada, secretly for decades, and Jacobsen had “unprecedented access to fifty-five additional military and intelligence personnel, scientists, pilots, and engineers linked to the secret base.”
Jacobsen is introduced and the discussion starts about Area 51 at the 19:45 minute mark in the video/audio below.

Artificial genetic sequencing may create new life forms.
In the future an extraordinary intelligent system will be produced and deployed in robots for use in deep space exploration (and this critical). These intelligent systems will be more complex then any robotic technology being perceived or developed today. These advanced systems will contain a new form of artificial DNA that provides these systems with the capability to adapt more readily to various environments. This objective will be accomplished using special microelectronic and electrochemical technologies that mimic and replicate artificial cellular production, and likewise forms artificial genetic sequences and resulting ADNA. A brief description of this technology is described and illustrated hereafter.
This intelligence system and structure is divided into (5) levels of growth and distribution, whereas level-1 (parental L1), level-2 (cellular groups/subsystems L2), level-3 (systems L3), level-4 (the brain L4), and level-5 (universal L5).
Brief overview of this extraordinary technology,
Parental cellular units extract (need) inputs, and in doing so produce individual cells whose objective is to pursue other (inputs) or variations as to fulfill these needs. The parental cellular units of (level-1) will produce “artificial cells”, where the commonality among these cells is used to mimic cellular bonding and thereby creating an artificial biological cohesion. The cohesion of these cellular structures will produce the subsystems necessary for self sustaining and fulfilling the needs for environmental adaptation (or otherwise using microelectronic and electrochemical interfaces for such purposes). In (level-2) of this intelligence system, bonding is formed between various parental cellular units using a process known as “bridges of commonalty”. These interconnections and resulting sequences are used to form cellular groups with specific and shared common needs. This process in part is used for the early development and formation of genetic structures for which later will form “subsystems”. The commonality among variations (or inputs) of the cell groups produced by the parental units is used for measuring input consistency. Those cells not consistent amongst the group will be placed into some temporary stage known as “hibernation”.
The cellular stage of hibernation is due to the rejection of various inputs (variations) based on genetic sequences and common needs, and the inability to “adapt” within the environment, or otherwise cellular adaptation for biological cohesion. When cellular bonding reaches (level-3) some “system” is formed from earlier cellular bonding of subsystems, whereas these newly formed systems contain specific genetic sequences with structural formations and needs. The level of cellular hibernation will determine rejection or whether further variations (inputs) are necessary for commonality and likewise adaptation. Hibernation of this type evolves through stages as to form emotions through electrochemical influences (interface). Influences are the adhesion (biological cohesion) that starts integrating these cells, cell groups, and subsystems to form additional “structured needs”. Thereafter (level-4) is the formation of the ‘brain’ where all these subsystems are integrated to “function as unified system”. Cellular hibernation evolves as an involuntary response associated with electrochemical inputs for emotional response, other types of emotions are voluntary and these based on viable options (input variations) to needs. And lastly, the cellular to subsystem formations have specific genetic sequences and code (residual and active memory). The integration of these genetic structures into this system creates the formation of an Artificial DNA.
What is being illustrated?
The basic model for creating an (Artificial DNA with Intelligence).
The above described is merely a sample of what is far more complex.

Shortly after midnight on July 13-14th Robbert van den Broeke “felt” (as he has for the past 19 years now) a new circle was getting ready to form in the village where he grew up. Robbert now lives in another rural village some distance away, but he recognized the “energy” in his apartment as being related to a new circle coming and, so, drove on his motorbike toward Hoeven.
Suddenly he saw a “star-like” light-ball high in the sky which seemed to be rotating and he stopped to watch it. As it came toward him it became larger and larger and he could now clearly see that it was a light-ball and about the size of a soccer-ball, still rotating. When the light-ball was only about 15 meters above him he began to feel dizzy and as if he were losing consciousness–and then felt as if his body was “flying” in the air, weightless (like a feather).
The next thing he remembers is finding himself sitting on the flattened grain in the larger (5.2m x 4.7m) of two small circles. He tried to stand but couldn’t at first get his legs to work and says he could still see the light-ball, much smaller now, as it rose into the sky and then disappeared.

On the night of July 20-21st, one week later exactly, Robbert again felt the strong “knowing” that new circles were getting ready to happen and he and his friend Roy drove back to the Palingstraat near Hoeven where the light-ball had appeared in conjunction with the July 14th circles. As they drove near the earlier formation both men felt there was something new, farther back in this same field, and as they began to walk down the tram-lines Robbert clearly “saw” (in his “mind’s eye”) a white, misty spiral descend from the sky into the back part of the field and then knew where a new circle would be.
First of 3 new formations found by Robbert & Roy on the night of July 21st—this one inthe same field as the small July 14th circles. Photo: Ronald Sikking
Robbert’s immediate impression regarding this formation was that it contained healing energy (“like the cells in your body can get a make-over”)—that the energy would be felt by many visitors to this circle if the farmer would allow public access. [The kind farmer, who was already allowing access to the July 14th circles did allow public access to this formation also.]
But Robbert also got a second, very strange “message” that, if people would bring apples with them into this ring formation they might find, when they then took the apples home, that very clear dark markings or “symbols” would appear on them. And, further, that in those cases where this occurred, it would be good for the people to eat these apples, skin and all – that the apples would help promote healing. [Strange marking have been appearing on applies in Robbert's parents home, as well as his sister's, for many years….and the family have noticed no ill effects from eating them.]
The ring in this July 21st formation had a diameter of 21 meters (65+ feet) and was 1.2m (approx. 3-1/2 feet) wide. The three circles near the ring ranged in diameter from 3.3 meters to 5.6 meters.

Over several weeks many visitors to this formation did bring apples into it with them…and, just as Robbert had felt, many of these people (most of whom Robbert did not know, but who had read his website) later sent him photos they had taken of their apples which did get strange markings on them when they returned home.
Some of the photos sent in by visitors to this July 21st circle who took apples into it with them & whose apples later developed these markings.

On this same night, while still in the new circle at the Palingstraat near Hoeven, Robbert continued to feel that “more was happening” that night. This time in his “mind’s eye” he saw a field at Standdaarbuiten where many circles have appeared in the past and where, in particular, a beautiful cross had formed in July, 2010. He and Roy left the Hoeven area and then drove to the Standdaarbuiten field where they immediately found a 15m diameter circle with four smaller “satellite” circles attached, and with three other smaller circles grouped nearby.
Second crop circle found the night of July 21, 2013—this one miles away from the first. Photo: Ronald Sikking
Largest circle (15 meter or 140 ft. +/- diameter) with four “satellites” attached. Photo: Roy Boschman
All of the small circles in this formation had “Dragon’s Feet” (edges which were are splayed out or ratcheted into the standing crop)–something seen frequently years ago in the UK, but not found often in Holland.

At around 1:30 am, while Robbert and Roy were still in the Standdaarbuiten crop circle, Robbert got the feeling that they should drive back toward the outskirts of Hoeven, along the road where the gas station is located. As they came closer to Hoeven Robbert saw clearly—and this time visually—a “whitish mist” circling down low over the field just before the gas station and, because of the bright full moon, both men could easily see this third new formation, close to the road.
July 21, 2013 – 3rd formation found by Robbert and Roy this night, the first time that 3 different crop circles have appeared in Holland on the same night. Photos: Roy Boschman
Again, in this 3rd July 21st formation, all of the smaller circles had “Dragon’s Foot” edges. Photo: Roy Boschman
Circles have been appearing in Robbert’s area of southern Holland since he was 14 years old (he’s now 33) and in many cases he has visually seen them form. In one of those instances I was with Robbert in Holland and, so, we both saw brilliant light tubes shoot down (http://www.bltresearch.com/eyewitness/eyewitness1.php) behind his house, apparently creating the large elllipse with “T-shaped” pathway which we then found immediately afterward that night in 2001.
Then in 2006 we were together again, up on a dike next to Robbert’s “special” field when Robbert suddenly grabbed my arm and pointed out into a field we had just left (http://www.bltresearch.com/eyewitness/eyewitness4.php) yelling “see, see… do you see that dark spiral?” Robbert’s eyes are younger than mine and all I saw was a dark movement down low over the field—but we were only 30-40 ft. away and went back down into the field immediately and found the new circles.
Robbert has seen more than 100 circles form over the years, in daytime and at night, with a wide variety of attendant light phenomena. In a few cases he has seen what appeared to be actual “hard-bodied,” solid-looking UFOs creating the circles. And I am not the only other eyewitness to these and other astounding events (English reports, bottom of pg: http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert.php).
To see more photos of these (and other) 2013 Dutch circles go to Robbert’s crop circle archive page: http://www.robbertvandenbroeke.nl/graancirkelarchief. To follow other amazing on-going events around Robbert check his website regularly.

UFO documentary reveals humanoid of unknown classification
UFO documentary reveals “humanoid of unknown classification”
A new documentary on UFOs, extraterrestrials, and advanced clean energy, hopes to provide evidence that the government has figured out how UFOs operate and are hiding advanced technology that can provide clean energy. The film also features the discovery of an alleged humanoid body whose DNA has been sequenced and found to be of an “unknown classification.” Photos of the being were released today with the announcement of the Hollywood premiere of the film scheduled for later this month. It was also announced that the film is narrated by actor Thomas Jane, who is known to have in interest in UFOs.
The new film is titled Sirius, and features the work of Dr. Steven Greer. With a similar goal as the film, Greer brought together a panel of highly credible witnesses who testified in front of representatives from all of the major media outlets at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. in May of 2001. At that time he filmed hours of testimony from hundreds of credible witnesses. His work has been very influential in convincing people that the government knows more than it is sharing, and as he puts it, “Once people understand that classified projects have figured out how UFO’s operate, they will realize we no longer need oil, coal and nuclear power. This is the truth that has driven the secrecy.”

One of the most shocking claims put forth in the film is that they have obtained, “paradigm shifting physical evidence of a medically and scientifically analyzed DNA sequenced humanoid creature of unknown classification found in the Atacama desert, Chile.” According to the filmmakers the credentials of the group of scientists and the medical team behind this claim are “eye-opening.” They believe that the announcement of their discovery could be “potentially profound and historical.”

The film is directed by Emmy Award winning Amardeep Kaleka. He won his Emmy in 2011 for his short film Jacob’s Turn, on a child with Down Syndrome. He explained why he would chose to work on such a controversial topic:
“Given the possibility that there was something profound to explore here – something that could potentially open minds to new realms and new possibilities – we seized the opportunity to take on this project. For every story we told, we found hundreds of others. Our goal is to initiate our audience on the same journey – to open their minds and inspire them to search – and freely consider that there is more in this world than we may ever know.”
Actor Thomas Jane, most recently known for his leading role in the HBO’s Hung, also shared why he chose to participate:
“The Sirius documentary is a powerful and important film that I encourage everyone to watch with an open mind, as it truly speaks to the heart of the people who like me, are probably okay with the government keeping secrets from its people in the name of national security, but are not okay with a secret government.”
The film is set to premiere in Hollywood on April 22, and will then be followed by a limited theatrical release. It will also be launched video on demand on the Yekra video platform and Yekra’s Affiliate Connect customized social media networks. The film’s funding was mostly obtained through crowd sourcing on the Kickstarter website, and according to the filmmakers press release it has been the “highest documentary crowd-funding raise in history.”
You can follow the film’s progress, and access the video on demand later this month via the film’s website: http://siriusdisclosure.com/.
AMC announced that Chris Carter, best known for creating the science-fiction drama The X-Files, is now attached to a dramatic television series about the notorious top secret military installation known as Area 51.

The network ordered a pilot episode for this series back in July 2012. And, at that time, it was announced that series would be based on a book titled Area 51, an uncensored history of America’s TOP SECRET military base by Annie Jacobsen. Judging by AMC’s recently announced slate of new programming, that basis has not changed. But the project has reportedly now officially moved into development.
The Hollywood Reporter describes the series as “A contemporary conspiracy thriller revealing the true story behind the infamous Area 51, America’s most mysterious military installation.” And the working title for the series is simply Area 51.
Carter is coming aboard the show as its writer and executive producer. He joins The Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd who was already attached to the project.

Jacobsen’s 2011 book is controversial because she makes many questionable assertions. Most notably is the inclusion of an explanation for what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. She claims an anonymous witness informed her that the craft recovered at Roswell was actually an advanced German aircraft, and that the bodies recovered from the crash were children that had been mutilated by infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. This craft was allegedly ordered over the U.S. by Joseph Stalin, hoping to trick Americans into thinking it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft, which would result in a mass panic similar to the one caused by the 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds.
It was originally announced that Jacobsen would serve as a co-producer of the show. There has been no word about whether that is still the case as the show moves into full development.
I am sending this experience and you will be the second person I have ever told about this. The first person went back here the summer after I told him about this and has NEVER talked to me about my story or his trip back there. We slowly lost contact over time and I think this is the reason why.
In 1978 I was Elk hunting west of a town called Dubois in Wyoming. I was on my way back to town for a hot meal, gas and restock my food supplies, as I was camping in a tent in the back country. I was on the highway going west of town coming in and found a man wearing only hunting shoes, heavy shirt and goose down vest. In Wyoming in the middle of October then this was definitely under dressed! They day time temps were at a high of the 30′s at best, and nights were in single digits or lower. Well he got out in the road and started waving his arms wildly and begging stop, I saw his eyes had trail of tears on his face trailing down in the dirt on it. I pulled over to the side of the deserted road to see what his problem was, I thought it might be a wreck on the icy spots of the highway. Little did I know this would change my life thinking and the way I hunted by myself up here forever….
He ran to my side of the pickup and I could see he was very scared about something. He grasped the pickup and begged me with tears in his eyes to take him to town. I couldn’t say no to this man, I asked him if he was in a wreck or something he said “No just please get me out of here, I need to go somewhere safe.” I thought odd that he would say this and as I had my right hand on a pistol in my lap (guys you never know) I said to get in. He looked around at the treeline along the roadway and again ran to the passenger side of the pickup. As he was coming around the truck I put the pistol in in a side pocket of the door and he got inside and locked the door and made sure the window was up, again watching the treeline, “Go please” was all he said. I started back towards town and I then noticed the scratches on his face, clothes and hands and his whole body was shaking. After we went a couple of miles he somewhat slowed down on rechecking the treeline and passenger rear view mirror.
“You O.K. buddy?” I asked, he stared at me for many seconds and just broke down crying like a little kid. “Yah, but don’t think I’m crazy man, I just had some shit happen and I ain’t going back there for nothing, I hope the guys are O.K.”. He composed himself some and started to explain:
I am hunting here with two buddies and we always hunt below Brooks Lake when we come to Wyoming. Usually we get Elk or Deer, never go home skunked here, just love it. I was going along a trail I been on many times to get to a small overlook to sit awhile. It was their turn to push (the Elk) to me. I was almost there when I walked past this stand of three trees close together and on the other side was this huge Lizard, it was standing easy over 6 1/2 feet tall, golden/bronze color with a vest and short metallic looking briefs. I could tell it was a male I guess and he had a black thing in its clawed hand. It eyes were like a cats and it had a tail. I just stood there with my rifle in my hands across my chest froze kinda like. I was looking into the face of death, I just know it. I coughed a little and it’s arm with the black thing came up so fast I could hardly see it. Something hit my whole body from my feet to my head and I fell back on the ground, I dunno if I flew or fell I just went backwards. It came slowly walking up to me I could hear it and could only move my eyes slightly as it came into view, it just looked down to me it’s mouth slightly open making a low hissing sound and it’s forked tongue slightly coming out of it’s mouth. It’s head turned down looking at me and did this for a few minutes, I could hear it breathing, see the nose holes working, see it’s chest, muscles tensing and relaxing all over it’s body, I was just froze there looking up, I couldn’t look at it directly and I couldn’t close my eyes very easy either. It’s expression never changed only the eyes moved sometimes slow like sometimes so fast you could hardly see ‘um. On it’s sleeveless shirt it had a kinda O with a smaller, screwy offset Y and Z I think, it finally walked away down the trail. I dunno how long I laid there, from the sun movement it was maybe a couple of hours. I could hear the forest sounds, birds, wind, trees, animals going about their day like nothing happened, I would will my arms or legs to move hell, even fingers. When I could move every muscle in my body ached as I would use it, like after a workout at the gym or something. I knew if I went down hill I would come to the old creek bottom and hopefully not see him again. I did that, I followed it to the canyon bottom and then to the road and you. Thanks again, don’t make me get out. I took off my coat, I guess I forgot my rifle, cap, I don’t need them. I hope Jake and Bobby are O.K. I heard something following me when I first got up, it was real heavy sounding and would stop when I stopped and once or twice I could hear breathing like “it” did, kinda a raspy wheeze sound. I would start running or walking again, I couldn’t rest.
He told me which motel to let him off at and I did, he thanked me many times and got out and went in the office. I never seen him again. I thought about the fantastic story and wondered if true, but it could be right? I didn’t hear anything about someone having problems anywhere around town that fall.
I asked about the man the next year at the motel (no one could remember him) and if anyone knew stories about the area, I didn’t get specific or anything. I didn’t press it. My buddy whom I was close to and explored stuff like this at every opportunity was very interested in my story and the location. He took off up there the next summer for a long weekend, I had to work so couldn’t go. I didn’t see him until a couple of weeks later. I asked him about it and what he found out. He looked at me and got very serious, “Dude, don’t go up there, promise me, O.K.?” Was all he said, I could tell he meant it. I would go with this guy sometimes and he was very analytical and professional when doing things like, taping sounds at cemeteries, exploring ghost haunts, and others. He never acted scared at any time. I have never hunted or been on that side of the highway since then, but have talked to others that have seen large barefoot prints, strange flying stuff or howls over the years since then around the Wind River Mountains for what it’s worth. I do like to read about the unknown and sometimes explore it, but, and I mean but, if it just feels wrong before I start. I leave it alone…..
Now when I hunt anywhere I don’t fear bears, wolves or other people, but I am weary of what else might be out there, and always let someone know where I go and when I should be back…… A.W.H.
The subterranean highway in America is like a freeway except it’s underground. That highway depends on electric motors [for trucks, cars and buses] for the paved roads, and it is for limited travel. There is another style of transit for freight and for passengers that is for rapid travel. That world wide network is called the “Sub-Global System.” It has “check points” at each country entry. There ARE shuttle tubes that ‘shoot’ the trains at incredible speeds using a mag-lev and vacuum method. They travel at a speed that excels the speed of sound. Part of your question involves the location of entrances to that base. The easiest way to answer is to say every state in the U.S.A. has them. Frequently, the entrances are camouflaged as sand quarries, or mining operations. Other complex portals are found on military bases. New Mexico and Arizona have the largest amounts of entrances followed by California, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri. Of all the state’s Florida and North Dakota have the least amount of entrances. Wyoming has a road that opens directly into the subterranean freeway. That road is no longer in use, but could be reactivated if they decide to do so, with minimal cost. It’s located near Brooks Lake.
I had known of a system of subterranean roadways in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona…but nothing this far north. I suppose it is possible that other Reptilian sightings around the area of Brooks Lake may have been the reason for the road’s closure….subsequent to the closure of an underground base or research facility.

In late June of last year, an important UFO symposium took place in North Carolina. An international group of scientists, government officials, military personnel, and UFO researchers gathered to discuss unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). DVDs of the lectures are now available.
Among the international speakers were representatives from several official government sponsored UFO investigation organizations. The most prominent is GEIPAN in France. This group investigates UFOs and is part of France’s National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), the equivalent to NASA here in the United States. The head of GEIPAN, Xavier Passot, was one of the speakers, and he reviewed their methodologies for investigation. He also shared their statistics and some of their best cases.
Another official UFO research group that was represented was Chile’s Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA). This organization is a branch of the General Administration of Civil Aeronautics, which is similar to our FAA. Jose Lay, CEFAA’s director of international affairs, spoke on how their organization works, and also shared information on some of their best cases.

Another international presenter was retired Major General Wilfried De Brouwer of the Belgian Air Force. He was not representing an official UFO organization. However, he was presenting the details of an official UFO investigation. He presided over the official investigation of 2000 reports of triangular shaped UFOs over Belgium from 1989 to 1991. He says the witnesses included highly credible individuals including pilots and police officials.

Another unique aspect of the conference was the participation of scientists and other members of academia. Alexander Wendt, professor of international security, spoke on the UFO taboo. Similarly, emeritus professor of sociology Ron Westrum spoke on how society deals with controversial discoveries. Astronomer and author Jeffrey Bennett presented on the scientific search for extraterrestrial life, and Dr. Richard Haines presented UFO investigations of reports from pilots.

There were a number of other great researchers who can often be found presenting at UFO conferences, but these international and academic presentations are unique and rare.
The event was financed and organized by Kent Senter, who has researched the UFO phenomena for over 25 years. He was one of the founding members of the North Carolina chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Senter is battling an incurable cancer, and wanted to put together a credible conference as part of his “bucket list.” Early on his cancer was misdiagnosed, and with some of the money he was awarded in a settlement, he was able to bring in the best people from all over the world to accomplish his goal of elevating the credibility of UFO research.

In order to help him gather the most credible international group, he enlisted the help of Leslie Kean. Her book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record, was a New York Times best-seller, and has garnered positive attention from mainstream media and scientists.
She also lectured at the conference, and her presentation is also available. You can find out more information, and order some of these rare and important lectures at: www.cufornc.com/buy-dvds.html.
A disturbing chain of livestock mutilations has plagued farmers and ranchers throughout all 50 states for decades, but law enforcement has failed to name a perpetrator.
Cows, horses, goats, and other livestock have been randomly found dead—the corpses mutilated and organs removed with surgical precision. With each of these attacks, no tracks of any kind surround the site, perplexing ranchers and law enforcement.
Many theories surround this mysterious and persistent wave of attacks. Suspects include predatory animals, satanic cultists, extraterrestrials, and even the U.S. government. To this day, no arrests have been made even though more than 10,000 attacks have been recorded throughout the country, according to KLAS-TV Las Vegas.
These cases stand out from regular predatory attacks on livestock. Their surgical nature is eerie and unexplainable. Colorado rancher Tom Miller recalled his first encounter with the mysterious mutilations: The eyes, ears, tongue, and reproductive organs had been removed from one of his cows with surgical precision. No blood was found onsite, which is typical among the mutilation attacks. Miller said that his cattle have been periodically attacked in this way since 1999, according to Science Channel’s “The Unexplained Files.”
Adding to the bewilderment are the fractured bones, including ribs, inside the carcasses of the mutilated animals, suggesting that the animals were taken, operated on, and then dropped from an elevated height.
Supporters of the extraterrestrial theory suggest that aliens take the animals aboard their craft and then discard the remains, according to the “Unexplained Files.” Ufologists—those who study UFOs—believe that the mutilation of these animals represents a need for bodily tissue in order to create alien-human hybrids. This claim is perhaps lacking in evidence, but in many cases of cattle mutilation, the reproductive organs were removed—embryos included. In the scientific community, cow embryos were used in human cloning attempts by the company Advanced Cell Technology in 1999, reported the BBC and NewScientist news.
A more terrestrial explanation comes from alien theory skeptic Chris O’Brien, who suggests that the mutilations are conducted by our own government in an effort to avoid disease outbreak, such as mad cow disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), which is believed to cause the human disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). According to O’Brien and “The Unexplained Files,” many of the tainted animals from the 1996 BSE outbreak in England were destroyed, turned into fertilizer, and transported around the world—including to American farmland.
Despite the persistent anomalies of these livestock attacks, skeptics hold that they are nothing more than predatory animal attacks. – The Epoch Times
Haunted hotel freaks out Spurs players on road trip
The San Antonio Spurs are on a terrific run just now, winning 14 straight to put them top of the Western Conference.
Overcoming difficult opponents in recent weeks they have produced some of their best basketball this season.
And all, it seems, despite having to deal with some paranormal activity on their recent road trip.
As reported by San-Antonio Express-News, both Tim Duncan and Jeff Ayres were freaked out after a night at the Claremont Resort in Berkley ahead of the Spurs’ game against Golden State Warriors:
“I get to my door, and my key doesn’t work, but it sounds like there’s somebody in my room,” explained Ayres.
“Like I hear a little baby, not crying but making noise. I’m like, ‘What the heck?’ I keep trying my key and it doesn’t work.”
“It was the creepiest thing. I heard a couple of other guys heard babies in the hallway, kids running down the hallway. Creepy. I really heard voices and a baby in the room, and there wasn’t anybody in there.”
Spooky indeed. And veteran Duncan backs up his teammates story.
“I heard a baby in his room.
“When they told me the story the next day about calling up there and no one in the room, it’s at that point you get chills,” said a clearly flustered Duncan.
The Spurs obviously managed to put thoughts of ghosts and ghouls to the back of their minds as they overcame the Warriors 99-90 last week.
But Duncan is planning on a new location when they are next in the Bay Area:
“I heard about the history of the place, and I’d rather not (stay there again),” said the 37-year old. – GiveMeSports
NOTE: The Claremont Resort is a well-known haunted location. I suppose the team travel secretary didn’t know…Lon
Creepy Clown Stalking Staten Island Train Stations
We at the Observer would advise skipping this story if you plan on sleeping without horrific nightmares ever again.
If social media is to be believed, there is a man dressed as a clown wandering around Staten Island at night. Witnesses describe him as bald, wearing a trademark blue and yellow clown suit, holding balloons and OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS PICTURE.
The clown, which has reportedly been spotted hanging around the Grasmere and Richmond Valley train stations according to the SI Advance, has been snapped three times and uploaded to Twitter and Instagram, providing both internet buzz and nightmare fuel.
“He was just kinda standing there waving like he is in the picture,” Westerleigh resident Vincent Innocente told the paper of his experience meeting the poor-man’s Pennywise on Sunday. – Observer
Witness report: So I was walking with my dog in the evening just before sunset, we were travelling into vast fields of nature to escape common modern view.
By accident I found a pond. It catched my interest since i saw a waterhole in the middle of it. Usually people drills waterholes in their ponds where fish lives, at winter time, so fish can breathe.
I thought I will see some fishes and stuff… But as soon as i came closer, I noticed that it was evaporating. You can’t see this in the video since I was filming with my phone which has not a high resolution camera.
When I stepped on that frozen pond, farther away from that waterhole (where i was standing) ice was 20 centimeters thick or even more. And that waterhole looked like it was melted with fire or something… You can see around that waterhole that there is snow or maybe ice particles blasted away from the center of this waterhole.
It is not volcanic activity. In the middle of Europe, Lithuania, there are no volcanoes or underground volcanic currents. Plus water would be boiling. There are no pipes in the middle of nowhere, so not a damaged pipe…
Natural Gas or oil? Impossible, it is not hot and why only the part of this whole pond is melted just above this thing/activity-reason?
At first glance, it looks like a jellyfish, but it is not. What was really there is still unknown for me.
Scientists have made a stunning discovery in the outer realm of the solar system an asteroid with its own set of rings that orbits the sun between Saturn and Uranus. The space rock is the first non-planetary object ever found to have its own ring system, researchers say.
The pair of space rock rings encircle the asteroid Chariklo. They were most likely formed after a collision scattered debris around the asteroid, according to a new study unveiled today March 27). The asteroid rings also suggests the presence of a still-undiscovered moon around Chariklo that’s keeping them stable, researchers said.
“We weren’t looking for a ring and didn’t think small bodies like Chariklo had them at all, so the discovery — and the amazing amount of detail we saw in the system — came as a complete surprise!” study leader Felipe Braga-Ribas, of the National Observatory in Brazil said in a statement today. [Asteroid with Rings: Artist Views of Space Rock Chariklo (Photos)]
Astronomers used seven telescopes, but just one revealed the pair of rings orbiting the rocky Chariklo. The asteroid’s 155-mile-diameter (250 kilometers) is dwarfed by the giant gas planets, the only other bodies known to have rings.
“This discovery shows that size is not important in order to have — or not have — rings,” Felipe Braga-Ribas, of the National Observatory in Brazil, told Space.com by email.
An asteroid among giants
On June 3, 2013, Braga-Ribas led a team of astronomers in observing Chariklo as it passed in front of a distant star — a process known as an occultation. As the asteroid traveled, it blocked light from the star, enabling scientists to learn more about it. [The Strangest Asteroids in the Solar System]
The astronomers were surprised to discover that a few seconds before and after the main occultation, the light dimmed slightly, indicating that something circled the rocky asteroid. By comparing the data gathered from seven different telescopes, the team was able to identify the shape, size and orientation of the rings.
The system consists of a dense, 4-mile-wide (7 km) ring near the planet, and a smaller 2-mile-wide (3 km) ring farther out.
From the surface of the asteroid, “they would be two spectacular sharp and really bright rings, crossing all the sky,” Braga-Ribas said. “They would be noticeably close, as they are at about 1/1,000 of the moon’s distance from us,” he added.
He went on to say that the larger, inner ring would block the view of the outer ring from the ground. The rings are similar to those around Saturn, in that both are very dense, bright and possibly formed by rock and water ice. But their scales are quite different.
“The whole Chariklo system would fit about 12 times in the Cassini Division,” Braga-Ribas said, referring to the largest gap in Saturn’s rings.
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 Lazarclaims 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!

What Is the Big Bang Theory?
What Is the Big Bang Theory?
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
A 2013 map of the background radiation left over from the Big Bang, taken by the ESA's Planck spacecraft, captured the oldest light in the universe. This information helps astronomers determine the age of the universe.

The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it talks about the universe as we know it starting with a small singularity, then inflating over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today.
Because current instruments don't allow astronomers to peer back at the universe's birth, much of what we understand about the Big Bang Theory comes from mathematical theory and models. Astronomers can, however, see the "echo" of the expansion through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background.
The phrase "Big Bang Theory" has been popular among astrophysicists for decades, but it hit the mainstream in 2007 when a comedy show with the same name premiered on CBS. The show follows the home and academic life of several researchers (including an astrophysicist).
The first second, and the birth of light
In the first second after the universe began, the surrounding temperature was about 10 billion degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 billion Celsius), according to NASA. The cosmos contained a vast array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons. These decayed or combined as the universe got cooler.
This early soup would have been impossible to look at, because light could not carry inside of it. "The free electrons would have caused light (photons) to scatter the way sunlight scatters from the water droplets in clouds," NASA stated. Over time, however, the free electrons met up with nuclei and created neutral atoms. This allowed light to shine through about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.
This early light — sometimes called the "afterglow" of the Big Bang — is more properly known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It was first predicted by Ralph Alpher and other scientists in 1948, but was found only by accident almost 20 years later. [Images: Peering Back to the Big Bang & Early Universe]
Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, both of Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, were building a radio receiver in 1965 and picking up higher-than-expected temperatures, according to NASA. At first, they thought the anomaly was due to pigeons and their dung, but even after cleaning up the mess and killing pigeons that tried to roost inside the antenna, the anomaly persisted.
Simultaneously, a Princeton University team (led by Robert Dicke) was trying to find evidence of the CMB, and realized that Penzias and Wilson had stumbled upon it. The teams each published papers in the Astrophysical Journal in 1965.
Determining the age of the universe
The cosmic microwave background has been observed on many missions. One of the most famous space-faring missions was NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, which mapped the sky in the 1990s.
Several other missions have followed in COBE's footsteps, such as the BOOMERanG experiment (Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics), NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the European Space Agency's Planck satellite.
Planck's observations, released in 2013, mapped the background in unprecedented detail and revealed that the universe was older than previously thought: 13.82 billion years old, rather than 13.7 billion years old. [Related: How Old is the Universe?]
Examining the CMB also gives astronomers clues as to the composition of the universe. Researchers think most of the cosmos is made up of matter and energy that cannot be "sensed" with conventional instruments, leading to the names dark matter and dark energy. Only 5 percent of the universe is made up of matter such as planets, stars and galaxies.

Gravitational waves spotted?
While astronomers could see the universe's beginnings, they've also been seeking out proof of its rapid inflation. Theory says that in the first second after the universe was born, our cosmos ballooned faster than the speed of light. That, by the way, does not violate Albert Einstein's speed limit since he said that light is the maximum anything can travel within the universe. That did not apply to the inflation of the universe itself.
While the finding has to be scrutinized by independent researchers, the researchers told Space.com that they are confident it will be confirmed. They spent several years examining the information to make sure that the telescope did not generate a false signal.
"We're very confident that the signal that we're seeing is real, and it's on the sky," lead researcher John Kovac, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Space.com in March 2014.
"It's going to be controversial," he added. "We can expect that people will try to shoot at it from every direction, and we invite that — that's the scientific process, and it'll be fun and interesting."
Faster inflation, multiverses and charting the start
The universe is not only expanding, but getting faster as it inflates. This means that with time, nobody will be able to spot other galaxies from Earth, or any other vantage point within our galaxy.
"We will see distant galaxies moving away from us, but their speed is increasing with time," Harvard University astronomer Avi Loeb said in a March 2014 Space.com article.
"So, if you wait long enough, eventually, a distant galaxy will reach the speed of light. What that means is that even light won't be able to bridge the gap that's being opened between that galaxy and us. There's no way for extraterrestrials on that galaxy to communicate with us, to send any signals that will reach us, once their galaxy is moving faster than light relative to us."
Some physicists also suggest that the universe we experience is just one of many. In the "multiverse" model, different universes would coexist with each other like bubbles lying side by side. The theory suggests that in that first big push of inflation, different parts of space-time grew at different rates. This could have carved off different sections — different universes — with potentially different laws of physics.
"It's hard to build models of inflation that don't lead to a multiverse," Alan Guth, a theoretical physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said during a news conference in March 2014 concerning the gravitational waves discovery. (Guth is not affiliated with that study.)
"It's not impossible, so I think there's still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead to a multiverse, and evidence for inflation will be pushing us in the direction of taking [the idea of a] multiverse seriously."
While we can understand how the universe we see came to be, it's possible that the Big Bang was not the first inflationary period the universe experienced. Some scientists believe we live in a cosmos that goes through regular cycles of inflation and deflation, and that we just happen to be living in one of these phases.
Correction:This article was updated on March 25, 2014, to correct a reference to when light began to shine.

Drake Equation: Estimating the Odds of Finding E.T.
Drake Equation: Estimating the Odds of Finding E.T.
By Elizabeth Howell,

The Drake Equation is used to estimate the number of communicating civilizations in the cosmos, or more simply put, the odds of finding intelligent life in the universe.
N = The number of civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable.
R* =The rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life.
fp = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems.
ne = The number of planets, per solar system, with an environment suitable for life.
fl = The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears.
fi = The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges.
fc = The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.
L = The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.
The challenge (at least for now) is that astronomers don't have firm numbers on any of those variables, so any calculation of the Drake Equation remains a rough estimate for now. There have been, however, discoveries in some of these fields that give astronomers a better chance of finding the answer.
Exoplanet discoveries
Astronomers certainly could imagine the existence of other planets outside the solar system in 1961, but it took until 1995 until the first confirmed exoplanet was found. Called 51 Pegasi b, the discovery ushered in a new era where astronomers were able to track down first dozens, and then hundreds, of other planets across the universe.
Traditionally, planets have been found through two methods: watching them transit across a star (which causes a dimming that can be measured from Earth) or examining the gravitational wobbles the planets induce as they orbit around their parent star. More recently, a technique called "verification by multiplicity" allows astronomers to quickly identify multiple-planet systems.
Estimating the total number of planets in the universe is difficult, but one statistical study suggests that in the Milky Way, each star has an average of 1.6 planets – yielding 160 billion alien planets in our home galaxy. (The study used a technique called gravitational lensing that observes changes in light curves when a relatively nearby star passes in front of more distant objects.) [Related: 13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Aliens]
As of March 2014, more than 1,700 exoplanets have been confirmed. The vast bulk of them were due to an observatory called the Kepler Space Telescope, which scrutinized a single spot in the Cygnus constellation between 2009 and 2013. Plumbing the data, astronomers continue to make discoveries from the information.
To date, most of the planets that have been discovered were Jupiter-sized or larger, but this may be because these gas giants are easier to spot in telescopes. A slew of Kepler discoveries announced in February 2014 mainly contained super-Earths, or planets that are slightly larger than Earth and are considered by many astronomers to be habitable under the right conditions.
Among the planets discovered by all telescopes, however, only a tiny fraction of them are likely to have an environment suitable for life. Astronomers can't measure this metric for sure yet, but a few factors likely come into play, such as how close a planet is to its parent star and what its atmosphere contains.
As of March 2014, the Habitable Exoplanets Catalog identified 20 confirmed planets that could be suitable for life, and 69 planets (yet to be confirmed) that could also be suitable. The project is a part of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo.
"These are artistic representations of all the planets around other stars (exoplanets) with any potential to support surface life as we know it," the catalog states below an illustration of the planets. "All of them are larger than Earth and we are less certain about their composition and habitability, but they represent the best objects of interest for future observations." [Related: 5 Bold Claims of Alien Life]
Finding life outside of Earth — even microbial life — would be an important step toward better understanding the Drake Equation. Astronomers in fact have not given up on finding life within our own solar system. There are several areas that could host habitable environments now, or did in the past, such as the planet Mars or Jupiter's moon Europa.
A next step would be determining how to send a message to extraterrestrials and whether they could receive or understand it. On a small scale, astronomers have beamed messages to the stars and in a few cases, put discs on board spacecraft (such as Voyager) for anyone in the neighborhood to read and potentially find Earth for further communications.

U.S. President Jimmy Carter Really Did See A UFO, Technically
U.S. President Jimmy Carter Really Did See A UFO, Technically
by Kirk Hamilton
U.S. President Jimmy Carter has talked about his 1969 encounter with an unidentified flying object several times over the years. He’s never really been of the opinion that what he saw was an alien spacecraft, but maintains that he doesn’t quite know what it was, either.
On the latest episode of The Brian Lehrer Show, Carter again explains his experience, breaking it down in a straightforward fashion: “I don’t claim that it came from outer space,” he tells Lehrer, “But it was unidentified, it was flying, and it was an object.”
Carter was on the show promoting his new bookA Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence and Power, which focuses on gender inequality around the world. The UFO thing was more of a sidebar.
One of the more recent times Carter has discussed the UFO incident was in a 2005 interview in GQ, in which he said:
I saw an unidentified flying object. I’ve never believed that it came from Mars. I know enough physics to know that you can’t have vehicles that are tangible in nature flying from Mars, looking around, and then flying back. But I saw an object one night when I was preparing to give a speech to a Lions Club. There were about twenty-five of us men standing around. It was almost time for the Lions Club supper to start, which I would eat and then I would give a speech. I was in charge of fifty-six Lions Clubs in southwest Georgia back in the late ’60s. And all of a sudden, one of the men looked up and said, “Look, over in the west!” And there was a bright light in the sky. We all saw it. And then the light, it got closer and closer to us. And then it stopped, I don’t know how far away, but it stopped beyond the pine trees. And all of a sudden it changed colour to blue, and then it changed to red, then back to white. And we were trying to figure out what in the world it could be, and then it receded into the distance. I had a tape recorder — because as I met with members of Lions Clubs, I would dictate their names on the tapes so I could remember them — and I dictated my observations. And when I got home, I wrote them down. So that’s an accurate description of what I saw. It was a flying object that was unidentified. But I have never thought that it was from outer space.
You know, I still think it could’ve been an alien ship. But then, I want to believe.
UFO Researcher and Journalist Jaime Maussan says: 'They are announcing that they are coming'
UFO Researcher and Journalist Jaime Maussan says: 'They are announcing that they are coming'
Jaime Maussan is a leading journalist in covering the phenomenon of UFO sightings in Mexico and around the world. During his hour-long presentation at the Open Minds 23rd International UFO Convention, the audience was spellbound by audio and video footage presented by Mr. Maussan, including a portion described as “The Hum” which are ominous sounds described by eyewitnesses as accompanying sightings and being emitted from the UFOs.
Jaime Maussan
Ashahed Muhammad, The Final Call (FCN): Mr. Maussan, I want to ask you a question about the sounds. That was really captivating; the sounds of the UFOs, or The Wheels. Could you just tell us a little bit more about that?
Jaime Maussan (JM): Since 2011, we have been hearing these kind of sounds; and they haven’t stopped—everywhere in the world! I think they are, somehow, announcing that they are coming—they are [makes a knocking sound with hands] “knocking at our door.” That’s what I think, because they continue. But I believe it’s very important! It’s exactly like the crop circles, which are—that’s for the eyes, and this [the sounds] is for our ears. They’re both for the brain! But they are trying to connect to us; that’s what I think.
FCN: Now it sounded kind of like an “air raid,” sort of. What are the people hearing this describing? The people who say that they’ve heard these sounds? What do they feel? Do they feel scared?
JM: No, they feel—they feel impressed; they feel impressed, like, ‘What is this? What is this?’—they feel nervous. Not as scared, not as scared, but nervous? Yes. Because, when you don’t know where that is coming from, you have to be nervous. That is all. But I think it’s a connection. Something is going to happen, soon. Sooner than later.
FCN: Now my last question: Since 2011 when you were with us in Chicago, have there been any new developments? Has anything changed, has anything happened that we can update the readers and listeners with?
JM: Uh, well, so many things! I mean, not just the sounds, The Motherships. Now we have so many sightings of The Motherships. We have so many invisible UFOs—now we know there are things that are probably—we have something there, but If we don’t use the special equipment*, we won’t see it. It’s very diffi cult for us to understand, but there is something going on—you know?
FCN: Yes.
JM: It’s so much! I mean, we would be scared if we knew how many are there, outside, watching us. And I think the new equipment— and I tell Minister Farrakhan— that I recommend to get this equipment, and be watching constantly! Because he is going to have the answers he is looking for—very soon!
(*Mr. Maussan is referring to infrared and night vision military grade goggles and scopes which were on display and available for purchase during the conference.)
FC: All right.
JM: Okay? Tell him: I really like him, and my blessings to him! Okay?
FC: Thank you. I will.
(At last year’s IUFOC Jaime Maussan, played video footage taken by people all over the world of sounds given off by UFOs.
