Serie van vier 'bloedmanen' in aantocht - HLN.be
Serie van vier 'bloedmanen' in aantocht - HLN.be
Live De komende achttien maanden kunnen liefhebbers van bijzondere hemelverschijnselen maar liefst vier maansverduisteringen spotten. Deze zogenaamde 'bloedmanen' zijn echter alleen in Amerika, Nieuw-Zeeland en Australië te zien. Vandaag komt de eerste tevoorschijn.
National Geographic legt uit dat deze maansverduisteringen alleen voorkomen wanneer een volle maan, de aarde en de zon op een lijn staan. Tijdens de verduistering bevindt de maan zich in de schaduw van de aarde waardoor er geen direct zonlicht op de maan kan vallen. Toch laat de atmosfeer van de aarde een beetje zonlicht door. Het licht wordt gebroken waardoor de lichtstralen rood worden. De maan krijgt zo een oranjerode gloed.
De eerst bloedmaan van vanavond is in België niet zichtbaar, maar van de laatste zouden we wel een glimp kunnen opvangen. Diegenen die alle bloedmanen willen bewonderen, kunnen het live volgen via de website SLOOH Observatory, of met de livestream van NASA hieronder.
Nieuwe beelden van NASA's planeetverkenner Cassini suggereren dat Saturnus op dit moment een nieuw maantje aan het vormen is. Het gaat om een poreuze ijsbal die door wetenschappers al liefdevol 'Peggy' werd gedoopt.
Het maantje werd niet rechtstreeks waargenomen maar een heldere boog van tien kilometer breed en 1.200 km lang aan de buitenrand van de A-ring van de planeet zou wijzen op de nakende geboorte van de ijsbal. 'Peggy' zal weldra de reeds indrukwekkende Saturnusfamilie van 62 manen vervoegen.
"Zoiets hebben we voorheen nog nooit geobserveerd", aldus Carl Murray, astronoom en tevens auteur van het gepubliceerde wetenschappelijk artikel over de bijzondere ontdekking in het vakblad Icarus. "We zijn getuige van een geboorte, waarbij een maantje het ringenstelsel van de planeet verlaat en op eigen kracht naar buiten migreert."
Het markante 'baringsproces' kan wetenschappers meer inzicht verschaffen in de manier waarop de grotere manen van Saturnus zijn ontstaan.
Counterintelligence has been getting a bit upset with me lately because despite their best efforts at suppressing me and cutting my communication lines, I’ve been managing to get bits of the truth out there anyway, and people are beginning to look.
Late last night, BIN regular Lisa Haven published an article:
Read Before It’s Removed! RAND Corporation Admits UFO/Nephilim Are Real and the Documentation To Prove It!
But this time, in an uncharacteristic move, she disabled all comments for the article. Why? Because she and her associates KNEW that I would expose the truth on this one too, and they didn’t want people to see it. The “Alternative News” field is, by-and-large, merely controlled opposition put out by enslaver operatives and assets, and you can bet that ANYTHING having to do with subject matter that is STILL classified far above TOP SECRET, will be heavily controlled, especially something put out by an entity such as the RAND Corporation.
This data has been up on my site since March and August of 2013, and yet NONE of the BIN “reporters” and regulars have EVER linked to or reported on ANY of it, and if you still haven’t figured out why yet, I suggest reading some of the articles in this section:
It has been my repeated experience in publishing articles on this site that mine ALWAYS seem to get buried and hidden very quickly, while the “regulars” such as Lisa Haven always somehow manage to get quite a bit of exposure. This is not a mystery to me of course, I know exactly why that is, so I’ve been using their motion lately, and testing to see what kind of response I would get.
The “regular” authors on this site ALWAYS ignore all of the data I have made available, and just keep pumping out story after story after story with the same old sensationalistic hype, quite often the same disinformation, and consistently linking to and promoting enslaver operatives, assets, and controlled information outlets, while certain people have been sneaking around in the shadows voting down my comments on articles.
Lisa Haven: The RAND Corporation is an enslaver-controlled organization. Why are you promoting it and directing people’s attention onto their controlled disinformation?
Well, I think the answer to that is pretty obvious by now.
And if you still don’t know why Lisa Haven disabled comments on her latest article, just look at my two comments on this recent one:
The elite have a secret so mystifying, so mind-blowing that they are doing everything they can to keep it under wraps from the public eye. I urge you with everything in me to watch the below video in its entirety. It contains significant information and covers top-secret documentation put out by the RAND Corporation (a government think-tank) about the UFO phenomenon. In it they openly admit the existence of UFO’s. The youtube video may not be available for long, so please watch before it’s too late, I’m sure it’s bound to be removed. This information will prove the existence of UFO/Nephilim and it is something you definitely should watch and share….
Scott Waring, author of UFO Sightings Daily, says, “While I was searching for UFOs on Google Earth, I decided to have a look at Lake Titicaca where I found a structure under the water. This long object is 290 meters across (953 feet) according to google ruler. At its widest it is 51 meters or 168 feet, but at its thinest side its only 31 meters wide or 103 feet. The object is also 200 meters from land.”
Waring says, “Many cigar UFOs have had this shape and size, but when I did a little digging I found that an ancient temple had been found in Lake Titicaca back in 2000 and it was 660 feet long and 160 feet wide. At first I thought this was the same structure, but measurements indicated that the one I found is over 35% longer and its 32 miles away from the capital city of Bolivia, La Paz, which is different from the 2000 discovery which is 90 miles from the capital. So what I found is an all new discovery. So the hypothesis of this being an ancient Inca temple exists.”
Waring adds, “The fact that many UFO sightings have been recorded over Lake Titicaca is also something that must be considered. Another UFO was discovered under water in the Baltic Sea back in 2011, which caused electrical interference that disabled radar and underwater video recording, not to mention the murky waters blocking its view. I believe that it is possible that this could be a UFO that had crashed in the lake thousands of years ago.”
Waring says, “Something that seems even more likely is that this may be Noah’s Ark. What I mean is the measurements are about 50% bigger than Wikipedia state (953 ft long vs 450 ft long). Wiki said the ark was 300 cubits or 450 ft long by 50 cubics wide which is 75 feet. 75 ft is just 28 ft shorter than one side of this objects in Lake Titicaca.”
Waring concludes, “The measurements are close, but what really hits me is the ancient Inca lore. Inca lore says, “after a great flood, the god Viracocha arose from Lake Titicaca to create a new world.” He arose after a great flood…which sounds like what happened to Noah. Incan lore goes on to say, “He commanded the sun, moon, and stars to rise, then went to Tiahuanaco to create the first human beings, Mallku Kupac and Mama Ocllo. These first human, the “Inca Adam and Eve,” were formed from stone and brought to life by Viracocha, who commanded them to go out and populate the world. Thus Lake Titicaca is the birth place of the Incas.” Now that sounds just like Noah landed in Lake Titicaca and ancient Incas were direct descendants of Noah. Have we finally found Noah’s Ark? “
(EET)Major Ed Dames is one of very few people with specialized knowledge of remote viewing as developed by U.S. intelligence. Remote viewing operations are now declassified, though they were kept under wraps for decades. The power of remote viewing, an extra-sensory perception, is explored on Major Dames’s website.
He now teaches this skill to the public, and he says successful predictions include the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, as well as Hurricane Irene in the United States.
Awards Major Dames earned for his work for the U.S. government are testaments to the success of remote viewing. One award cited in a video on Major Dames’s website states: “His insightful threat analysis has contributed significantly to this country’s ability to maintain its military superiority.”
Another award states: “Dames identified and confirmed the existence of an entirely new Soviet offensive weapon, and then personally briefed senior officials of the National Intelligence Agencies regarding the significance of this new Soviet capability.”
Fukushima
In a live radio broadcast on the radio program Coast to Coast AM, Major Dames predicted that a huge earthquake would cause a nuclear disaster in Japan. “Tokyo will be OK, but this reactor problem will cause at least a mini-Chernobyl,” Major Dames said. Could it be that he foresaw the disaster that befell Fukushima in March 2011?
Hurricane Irene
Three months before Hurricane Irene hit the North-East, students in Major Dames’s remote viewing class seemed to predict it, according to his website. The students were unaware they were trying to predict the next U.S. mainland disaster.
Remote viewing doesn’t work with the conscious mind, it is the subconscious, thus it is unnecessary for the students to be aware of what they are trying to predict. The class made drawings and compared their drawings, which Major Dames described as “virtually identical.” They drew swirling motions and energy in the sky.
Before revealing what the target subject was, Major Dames had the students say what they thought everyone had seen. They all agreed, it was a hurricane, tornado, or storm. He then revealed that they were to predict the next U.S. mainland disaster.

Schoolgirl videos of a strange black UFO ring in the sky above Warwickshire, England in April 2014
Schoolgirl videos of a strange black UFO ring in the sky above Warwickshire, England in April 2014
New amazing video footage of a strange Black UFO ring recorded in the sky above Warwickshire, England in April 2014.
Witness said: A schoolgirl was stunned when when she looked into the sky to see this enormous unexplained black ring. Georgina Heap, 16, was playing tennis with mum Jo when she was stopped in her tracks by the fascinating sight. Gazing into the sky, the pair saw a clearly defined black circle which looked like a giant smoke ring. The ring remained there for around three minutes before disappearing completely. The spectacle, which took place near Leamington Spa on Friday evening, has stumped officials.
The VISION OVNI team is looking into an event that occurred in the late 1980s known as the “Campo Grande Crash” which caused great commotion in the province of Entre Rios. The Director of the Comisión de Estudios del Fenómeno Ovni de la República Argentina (CEFORA), Andrea Pérez Simondini, added: “it was a resonant case, very near the town where governor Sergio Uribarri served as intendant in 1985.”
In a dialogue with this news agency, the researcher stated that in the early morning hours of 21 December 1978 at 02:00 AM, “local residents were startled awake by a loud explosion and the deafening howling of dogs. Looking outside, many saw an incandescent object traveling from east to west, leaving behind multiple metal fragments that fell on Estancia San José in the locality of General Campos, province of Entre Rios. It was later known that the object was seen in Córdoba and in Santa Fe, tracing an imaginary straight line west of General Campos.”
The Witnesses
Americo Navarro and Amelia de Navarro were eyewitnesses in the province of Cordoba. “It was three o’clock in the morning, and since I couldn’t sleep, I gazed at the window, amazed by the phenomenon made up of three objects identical to each other, which I would compare to horizontally placed tanks, but without peaks, with slight ovular shapes on their upper and lower sections, joined one to the other, like a little train,” Américo explained.
The man was startled by the colors surrounding the objects: “The object itself was light green, with an intense yellow luminosity that became gradually clearer. By the time the phenomenon occupied two squares of my window grate, I woke up my wife, who saw the same thing as I. To better follow its trajectory, I got out of bed and looked through the window grate, seeing [the object] progressing with the same speed it had at the start, losing itself in the distance without any changes in altitude, color or direction, remaining as it did at the start, from west to east.”
Another eyewitness statement came from Armando Poletti, a traveling salesman, who a 2:55 a.m. on that very same 21 December was driving in his car from Rafaela to Santa Fe. “My attention was drawn by something happening the sky. Two strange luminous objects were giving off an orange-colored light, traveling at high speed.”
Furthermore, drivers for the General Urquiza company heading for Gualeguaychú witnessed the same scene, and while most passengers slept, they were awakened to see the phenomenon, being able to witness the maneuvers of the objects in the skies over that locality.
“They developed a tremendous speed without making any sort of noise,” said passengers Alonso Lobato and María Inés Sirimarco. A couple from La Francia (Cordoba) headed for Angélica (Santa Fe) stopped their car along the road to see the objects fly past; Ariel Fabré, driving along Route 20 from Chepes (La Rioja to Salsacate (Córdoba) also witnessed the objects’ passing.
The Remains at Estancia San José
Ramón Acosta was one of the main protagonists of what took place in Estancia San José, located in Lucas Noreste (Department of Villaguay). He was preparing “mate” before going out to tour the rice fields belonging to Santiago Ferrari and never thought he would become the main witness to the case.
In his story, Acosta explained that the dogs were very restless and barked ceaselessly, drawing his attention. He went out of the ranch house and instinctively looked at the sky, looking two very luminous objects flying by at high speed toward Salto, Uruguay. “One of the objects appeared to be falling,” said the worker.
A few kilometers away, the field’s owner, a man surnamed Ferrari, was leaving his house to plow the field with tractor operator Miguel Angel Romero, but he had not quite reached the tractor when he heard a powerful explosion. “It came from above and made me look up,” he admitted. “I thought an airplane in flight had exploded. I saw a tremendous glow of various colors followed by several more attenuated explosions until everything became silent again. I saw many little lights falling, as though emanating from a giant sparkler. I went into my house to tell my wife about it, as she was now seated on the bed, awakened by the explosion. I started working at 3:30 a.m., and around 7:00 a.m., when the sun was up, I saw something shining in front of the tractor. I thought it might be a bottle or a wet lump of soil, but as I approached I saw it was incandescent. It turned out to be a chunk of metal that I placed in the back of the tractor, aided by two pieces of wood. I later learned that many others fell in neighboring fields, but after collecting them, the farmhands dumped them in the pastures and streams. The majority of them fell in San Salvador.”
Pérez Simondini explains that they got in touch with Santiago Ferrari by phone. “He was resting due to a recent illness. We are in contact with a relative who confirmed all the events, and was willing to give us a personal interview and furnish more details.” Nora Susana Baez, owner of a farmhouse in the vicinity of San José, “was another major witness that evening. It was hot and she couldn’t sleep, and remained in the swimming pool. For this reason she was able to hear the explosion and see the lights falling to earth. Some remains also fell in her farmhouse.”

BLACK SAUCER SHAPED ALIEN CRAFT SPOTTED IN ARLINGTON TEXAS
MARCH 24, 2014 ….. ARLINGTON TEXAS
I was traveling south. One block south of me and traveling north toward me, a dark grey and black saucer-shaped craft topped the hill. It was as wide as the three lanes of traffic and had two red triangular lights on either side in a similar position to where the parking lights are on an automobile but on the bottom edge. However, no light from these reflected onto the ground and they were not bright like headlights, but they were large rectangles and most definitely red. The largest part of the craft was very dark gray and the top “bubble” part was black. This craft was only a few inches off the roadway. My light changed and as I proceeded toward it, it was as if something came between us and it was no longer visible. As there was nothing there to actually come between us, I feel as if it “cloaked ” itself, but it was gone. This area is very well lit as there are street lights on either side and there are businesses on both sides of the road so my visibility was excellent. At this time of morning, there was no one else on the road except for it and me. This road runs directly behind my house and this happened 1/2 block north from my backyard. I went home and immediately called my friend who I had just dropped off and told her about it. However, over a period of 20 minutes, we were only able to maintain a phone connection for about 5 minutes, as our call would get dropped and I would get the message “Call Failed” which never comes through when a call is dropped but rather when it doesn’t go through to begin with. I would try to call her back and it would do absolutely nothing. Just like dead air. She left me a voicemail message but my phone had not rang. She would call me and get the same nothing. One time, I called her and as the phone was ringing, it sounded as if there was a third party on the line and I could hear! some scratching like claws on a piece of wood but just when the call should have gone to voicemail, it just disconnected and I got the “Call Failed” message. She said when we finally were able to talk that she had never experienced anything like that ever before with a cell phone. I hadn’t either. I was unable to go to sleep until about 6:00 a.m. The next day she told me that she had checked the Arlington Police Dept. active police “blotter” after we hung up and that from 3:00 a.m. until 3:30 a.m. there had been 9 calls to 911 that were only classified as “disturbances” within a 1-mile radius of where this occurred and my house. She tried to take a screen shot of this information, but it would not work. I can get a copy of that night’s activity from the police department, but cannot do so for 30 days. At that time, I will forward you a copy of that to go with this report.
What is the Wallis UFO? Young mother tells how mystery object sped off before her eyes
What is the Wallis UFO? Young mother tells how mystery object sped off before her eyes
A young mother has told how she saw a mysterious silver object hovering in the sky above her house this morning.
Elyse O'Neill, 26, took these photographs on her smart phone after spotting what she described as a car-sized, silvery object above her back garden in Wallis, Pembrokeshire, early today.
The mother-of-one said she watched as the UFO split into two, reconnected, and then flew off.
scroll the video
She said: 'I was standing in the garden at 6.45am smoking a cigarette when this thing shot across from the moor over on the right, and stopped right in front of me.
'It was so bizarre, it took my breath away.
'I ran inside to get my phone. There wasn't enough battery left to film it, but there was enough to take pictures, so I started snapping away.
'It was hovering, spinning like a top, and as I watched it, it split up vertically into two pieces.'
'As soon as it went, the sheep fell silent. It was chilling.'
Miss O'Neill, who works as a horse-trainer, showed her photographs to relatives, who told her that her own aunt and grandmother had experienced unexplainable sightings over the same moor, thought only at night.
But she remains skeptical about what she saw.
'I can't explain it,' she said. 'It moved too fast to be of this earth, but I don't believe in aliens.'
Nick Pope, an expert on UFOs and a former government adviser on unexplained phenomena, said: 'This is truly bizarre and what makes it particularly mysterious is the description of the way the object moved from a hover to a high speed in an instant.
'This rules out most of the conventional explanations such as aircraft lights, a meteor/fireball, or a Chinese lantern.
'Perhaps it was some new secret, prototype spy plane or drone, but if not, it's a genuine mystery. It would be fascinating to find out if anything unusual was tracked on radar.'
Yesterday schoolgirl Georgina Heap, 16, told how she saw a mysterious black ring in the sky above Leamington Spa.
Miss Heap, who videoed the ring on her phone as she watched it with friends, said it floated 'like a cloud' before disappearing.

48. Location: Near Caracas Venezuela Date: April 10 1954 Time: night…
Emelino Martinez was walking back from his hunting trip in the hills outside of the city when there was a sudden movement in the bushes nearby. Martinez stopped, motionless, shotgun in the ready, when the thrashing noise sounded again. He waited briefly then resumed his walk toward his parked automobile. Suddenly he heard a blood curling guttural noise. Terrified he dropped his day’s catch and ran for his car, parked in a nearby clearing. An unintelligible shout behind him indicated that whatever creature it was, it was close to him. He stopped for an instant to glance back toward his pursuer. He then saw two bizarre creatures running after him. They were short, and looked like a half man, half monkey. They were covered with dark hair. Martinez reached the car fumbling with his pockets for the keys. He dropped the keys and picked them up and attempted to open the car. He was then suddenly grabbed from behind. He fell together with his assailant into a ditch besides the road. He dropped his shotgun as two powerful arms closed over his throat. He managed to bake free and scrambled towards the car. The creature jumped on top of him, screaming, growling, and biting like a mad animal. He could not reach his shotgun, so he grabbed a large rock and repeatedly smashed his attacker on the head. Screams of pain slashed through the dark night. Martinez saw his attacker move backward, blood spurting from his head wounds. He then dashed to his car. He snapped the door locked as the two creatures lunged against the car, pounding their hairy fists against the windows in frustrated rage. He managed to start the car and drove away at very high speed directly to the police station. The next day, Martinez and some friends returned to the site and recovered his shotgun they also found some blood stained leaves. They questioned locals and were told that strange disc shaped objects had been seen in the area and that; cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and two young farmhands had disappeared on the mountain. The farmers have also seen black, bristly haired dwarfs that hid in caves and kidnapped both livestock and humans. Martinez never returned to the area to hunt again.

Location: Nagorye, Pereslavl area, Yaroslavl region, Russia Date: September 1979 Time: early dusk
Student Igor Kuleshov was sent to this village for the usual agricultural work and after a day’s work had walked into the fields with a local girl. The sun had already dropped beyond the horizon and the early dusk had come. Unexpectedly the student spotted a dark wei…rd object flying in the sky at an altitude of approximately 25-30m over the ground, flying from the west, from the location where the sun had set. When the object approached Kuleshov noticed that it was a “man” or humanoid figure which was flying slowly in the air. The humanoid was dressed in a “spacesuit”, resembling that of the armor of a medieval knight. The flying humanoid was encircled in a very dim halo of light. Suddenly the flying “man” changed direction of flight and flew directly towards the startled couple. Flying over the heads of the amazed witnesses, the humanoid stretched his left hand towards the direction of his flight path and smoothly changed his flight path this time towards the nearby forest and immediately vanished behind the dense tree cover. According to Kuleshov as the flying man approached his position he suddenly felt his body turn torpid and he was unable to move. This state lasted for about 5-7 minutes. Gradually the young man began regaining his feelings and movement, but he remained in a torpid state for the next several days and 2 days after the encounter Kuleshov suffered a heart attack and was sent home. Before his visit to the Yaroslavl region Kuleshov had been an absolutely healthy man, but after the encounter with the “flying man” doctors advised him that he was no longer fit for agricultural work.

Location: Tbilissi Georgia (USSR) Date: February 1978 Time: late night
Militia captain, Avtandil Bukhrashvili woke up with a terrible toothache; looking out the window he saw the flight of a huge luminous object that disappeared behind the mountains. Astonished, he ran out into his verandah and suddenly saw two enormous “black birds”, descending overhead, they appeared not to have any wings. Soon …the so-called birds gradually descended and landed on the verandah. The two “birds” proved to me two humanoids, of which one was over two meters in height, the other somewhat shorter. Both wore dark tight-fitting suits and helmets. The helmets had one ball-protrusion on each side. In the region of the eyes and nose was an aperture through which were visible large frog-like eyes without eyelashes. There were other apertures on the breast area. Conversation was conducted telepathically and in “refined” Georgian language. They proposed to the witness to go with them, but he politely refused telling them that he had a bad heart. One of the humanoids then produced a tablet and insisted that the witness swallowed it, at first he refused but when the humanoid insisted he swallowed it. Moments later the witness heard a peeping sound and immediately both humanoids took off vertically upward emitting a smooth hissing sound. These flew away in the direction of the mountains, where apparently the luminous object he had seen previously had landed. His next memory was of waking up in bed not knowing how he got there.
One of the most dramatic encounters by police officers with an apparently structured, low-level UFO occurred in the early morning of April 17, 1966. Officers of the Portage County, Ohio, Sheriff’s Department first saw the object rise up from near ground level, bathing them in light, near Ravenna, Ohio, about 5:00 A.M. Ordered by the sergeant to pursue the object, they chased it for eighty-five miles across the border into Pennsylvania, as it seemed to play a cat-and-mouse game with them. Along the route, police officers from other jurisdictions saw the object and joined in the chase.
Deputy Sheriff Dale Spaur and Mounted Deputy Wilbur ‘Barney’ Neff had left their scout car to investigate an apparently abandoned automobile on Route 224. Spaur described the sighting in these words:
“I always look behind me so no one can come up behind me. And when I looked in this wooded area behind us, I saw this thing. At this time it was coming up . . . to about tree top level. I’d say about one hundred feet. it started moving toward us…. As it came over the trees, I looked at Barney and he was still watching the car . . and he didn’t say nothing and the thing kept getting brighter and the area started to get light. .. . I told him to look over his shoulder, and he did.
“He just stood there with his mouth open for a minute, as bright as it was, and he looked down. And I started looking down and I looked at my hands and my clothes weren’t burning or anything, when it stopped right over on top of us. The only thing, the only sound in the whole area was a hum . . . like a transformer being loaded or an overloaded transformer when it changes. . . .
“I was petrified, and, uh, so I moved my right foot, and everything seemed to work all right. And evidently he made the same decision I did, to get something between me and it, or us and it, or whatever you would say. So we both went for the car, we got in the car and we sat there….”
As they watched, the UFO moved toward the east, and then stopped again. Spaur picked up the microphone and reported to the dispatcher. At this time, the object was about 250 feet away, brilliantly lighting up the area (“It was very bright; it’d make your eyes water,” Spaur said.) Sergeant Schoenfelt, off duty at the station, told them to follow it and keep it under observation while they tried to get a photo unit to the scene.
Spear and Neff turned south on Route 183, then back east on Route 224, which placed the object to their right, and out the left window. “At this time,” said Spaur. “it came straight south, just one motion, buddy, just a smooth glide . . .”and began moving east with them pacing it, just to their right at an estimated altitude of 300-500 feet, illuminating the ground beneath it. Once more the UFO darted to the north, now left of the car, and they sped up to over 100 mph to keep pace with it.
As the sky became brighter with predawn light, Spaur and Neff saw the UFO in silhouette, with a vertical projection at its rear. The object began to take on a metallic appearance as the chase continued. Spaur kept up a running conversation with other police cars that were trying to catch up with them. Once when they made a wrong turn at an intersection, the object stopped, then turned and came back to their position.
Police Officer Wayne Huston of East Palestine, Ohio, situated near the Pennsylvania border, had been monitoring the radio broadcasts and was parked at an intersection he knew the Portage County officers would he passing soon. Shortly afterward he saw the UFO pass by with the sheriff’s cruiser in hot pursuit. He swung out and joined the chase. At Conway, Pennsylvania, Spaur spotted another parked police car and stopped to enlist his aid, since their Cruiser was almost out of gas. The Pennsylvania officer called his dispatcher.
According to Spaur, as the four officers stood and watched the UFO, which had stopped and was hovering, there was traffic on the radio about jets being scrambled to chase the UFO, and “. . . we could see these planes coming in…. When they started talking about fighter planes, it was just as if that thing head every word that was said; it went PSSSSSHHEW, straight up; and I mean when it went up, friend, it didn’t play no games; it went straight up” (Transcript of taped interview with Dale Spaur).
The Air Force “identified” the UFO as a satellite, seen part of the time, and confused with the planet Venus. Under pressure from Ohio officials, Major Hector Quintanilla, chief of PROJECT BLUE BOOK, had an acrimonious confrontation with witnesses and refused to change the identification, although it was pointed out to him that they had seen the UFO in addition to Venus and the moon at the conclusion of the observation. Major Quintanilla also denied that any jets had been scrambled.
William B. Weitzel conducted an exhaustive investigation on behalf of the NATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS COMMITTEE ON AERIAL PHENOMENA (NICAP), obtaining taped interviews, signed statements, sketches, and all pertinent data which was assembled into a massive report that was made available to congressional investigators. When the UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO UFO PROJECT was initiated in 1966, a copy of Weitzel’s report was hand-delivered to the director, Dr. Edward U. CONDON, for his consideration. The CONDON REPORT, published two years later, does not mention the case. Richard Hall – NICAP
Francis Ridge: If this incident seems familiar to you, just maybe you saw the motion picture, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. Investigated by NICAP’s William Weitzel, this report, also known as the Spauer/Neff Case, was the basis for the UFO “chase” in this film. This case involves police witnesses, confrontation, light beam, brilliant illumination, light engulfment, sound, cat and mouse chase, with rapid upward departure. Special thanks go out to Mark Rodeghier of CUFOS for providing the documentation and to Loy Pressley for converting them into text so I could make the web pages.
Dr. James E. McDonald: Ravenna, Ohio (April 17, 1966) calls for reevaluation not only on the scientific grounds involved, but also to avoid unfairly subjecting to local public ridicule the several officers who have testified. (Compare Bertrand & Hunt in the Exeter case) The available evidence (especially Wm. Weitzel’s extensive report for NICAP) seems to me to make the astronomical explanation, that now stands as the official Air Force evaluation, quite unreasonable. – NICAP

1. The attached statements are submitted as requested 16 May 66.
2. Mr. William Aber does not wish his signature associated with his statement.
3. Patrolman Frank Panzanella will assist in any way he can. However, he stated emphatically, he does not wish involvement in any way with the News Media.
4. Mr. Wayne Huston, formerly Patrolman Wayne Huston does not wish his name identified with his statement. He has been harrassed by news media and private organizations also individuals. He has been misquoted by news media and is constantly bothered by telephone calls. Possibly the above mentioned may have been a deciding factor Mr.Huston resigned his position with the police force and accepted employment in another area.
4. All three individuals contacted were very cooperative. However, Patrolman Pansanella and Mr. Huston are strongly opposed to the news media and their misinterpretation of the incident.

It was Sunday A.M. April 17, 1966 when over the Police Radios I heard the Summit County and Portage County radio operators advising there Patrol Cars of a report of a flying object reported by a woman. Later the Portage Patrol Cars reported to his office that he had seen the object and was following it. He was following it east and towards Columbiana County. As he came through Columbiana Ohio I went to Route #14 and waited. At 5:30 A.M. the object went over me at what I thought was around 800′. The object appeared to look like a large Ice Cream cone with point down. The pointed part didn’t look like a solid looked more like light beams. At that time I pulled out and caught up with the Portage County Car and followed behind him on into Pennor. The object was traveling at speeds 85 to 105 ground speed. At the entrance to Brady Run Park we lost sight of it. We went on into Bridgeport and then we saw it again. We followed it on into Conway, Penns where a Conway Police Officer had his office to call the Greater Pitt. Airport. At that time I returned back to East Palestine, Ohio.
I was on duty as a Watch supervisor in the Greater Pittsburgh Tower during the period of 0000-0800 EDST on the day of April 17, 1966.
I received a report from some local police agencies that an unidentified flying object had been sighted in Ohio and had been followed into our area of which I had radar surveillance. I observed nothing on the radar presentation that coincided with the reported object nor did I observe any other radar return. //signed// William L. Aker
P.S. Since this statement is being submitted to the military representative at my home on my regular scheduled day off duty and not through the channels of the Federal Aviation Agency, I would request that my name be withheld from public use. //signed// William L. Aker
At 5:20 A.M. stopped at Conway Hotel and had a cup of coffee. I then left the hotel coming down Second Avenue to 11th Street and made a left turn on 11th Street preceded up the hill. Looked to my right and saw a shining object. I thought it was a reflection off of a plane. I got to Mickey’s Lounge on the top of the hill and I looked back and it wasn’t moving so I turned the police car around and came back down 11th Street and went to Adamowski Service Station on 10th Street and Route 65. I then got out of the police car and looked at the object again. I rubbed my eyes 3 or 4 times but didn’t say anything to anyone for the time being. I saw 2 other patrol cars pull up and the officers got out of the car and asked me if I saw it. I replied SAW WHAT! They pointed to the object and I told them I had been watching it for the last 10 minutes. The object was the shape of a half of football, was very bright and about 25 to 35 feet in diameter. The object then moved out towards Harmony Township approximately a 1,000 feet high, then it stopped then went straight up real fast to about 3,500 feet. I then called the base station told the radio operator to notify the Pittsburgh airport. He asked me if I was sick. I told him if I was sick so were the other 3 patrolmen. The operator got the airport on the line and told them what happened, he told them to hold the line and in the meantime we kept watching the object and at that time a passenger plane passed to the left about 1,000 feet below the object. We relayed the message to the operator and he relayed it to the airport. The object continued to go upward until it got as small as a ballpoint pen. Then we received a message to make a phone call. We preceded to the Rochester Police Department and made the phone call. Officer Parr talked to someone and then we returned to Conway Police Department where I gave Officer Parr my name and gas for his police car to return home.
The object was in my sight from 5:20 A. M. to 6:15 A. M.

Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe USMC (RET.) Director
By Deputy Sheriff Dale F. Spaur and Posse Member W. L. Neff
STATEMENT: On April 17, 1966, at about 5:00 AM, the undersigned, Dale F. Spaur and Barney (W. L) Neff, were patrolling the southeast portion of Portage County, Ohio. We had been hearing radio traffic about a UFO near Portage County. We found an abandoned car on the berm on Rt. 224 between Atwater and Randolph. We left our car to routinely investigate this vehicle. Spaur noticed a light over the trees on the hill next to the berm, and called Neff’s attention to it. As we watched, the light came closer and a large, self-illuminated object was seen as its source. The object came directly overhead and hovered above us. Its light lit up the ground where we were standing, and our cruiser, P-13. It was too bright to look at without hurting the eyes. We got into our car and radioed that we had spotted the UFO. During that time, it began moving away from us. We followed it down 224 onto Rt. 14, to the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, and into Pennsylvania on Rt. 51; then through Rochester, Pa., and on Rt. 65, up to Conway, where we stopped. As we passed East Palestine, Ohio, Patrolman Wayne Huston, of the East Palestine Police, joined in our pursuit. In Conway, Pa., Officer Frank Panzanella met us where we stopped, and we stood with him watching the object as it hovered and then rose, twice, in a rapid climb. The object seemed 30-45 feet across, and 18-24 feet high. The light it gave off lit up the ground over the road and over fields as we pursued it. At first it was about 150 feet up; then it rose to around 1000 feet. During the chase it changed altitude and direction, maneuvered smoothly, had a sort of dome-shaped top, and at times showed a projection on the top part, near the trailing edge. Not all of it was self-illuminated; part of the top trailing portion looked metallic; not shiny, but satiny. At times we measured its speed over the ground at about 103 miles per hour. At one point, near Rochester, we lost it while getting through a bridge-underpass area, but when we emerged, it had come down lower and seemed to have waited for us; it went off fast ahead again then. We were, and are, sure we were not chasing an illusion, or seeing a reflection, star, planet, or similar still object. As far as our part in this sighting is concerned, at least, the article by Tom Schley in the Beaver County Times, April 18, 1966, about this, is accurate.
7. Sharp “drop-off” (Neff disagrees; remembers more rounded here)
8. Rounded “undercarriage”
9. Line separating metallic from self-illuminated portions
SPAUR-NEFF, SIGHTING TERMINUS
1. Bright spot to right of moon, a little above axis of symmetry of crescent
2. Crescent moon (bump in concave portion indicates “nose” of “Man in Moon”)
3. TV antenna on nearby house, through whose elements Spaur and Neff saw the UFO hovering before 1st upward elevation
4. Position of UFO after 1st elevation, above moon (now moving away, or disappearing)
(NOTE: Panzanella agreed with relative positions of levels of hovering; Spaur agreed with Panzanella’s on-the-spot location of object relative to nearby houses; Spaur examined a photograph made from the spot he claimed to have been standing.)
HUSTON, UFO DETAIL
1. Cone-shaped light underneath
2. Bright, self-illuminated solid appearing top
3. Dome shape
4. Cone tilted toward rear, of direction of motion, more so than shown here.
(NOTE: Huston testified to having seen, once, a project; only got one view of it.)
FURTHER NOTES: On Spaur-Neff joint signed testimony: Until over a week after the sighting, Neff was “in hiding,” refusing to be interviewed by anyone. I typed a summary statement for Spaur to take to him, along with Spaur’s drawings. Neff finally agreed to be interviewed on on April 28. I mailed the statements and drawings to Spaur; there was some confusion as to who was to sign the extra space; Spaur did this, so Neff signed elsewhere on the sheets.
Daily 2 Cents: Would You Baptize An Alien? Shadow by the Crib Mutant Super-Rats Invade Liverpool
Daily 2 Cents: Would You Baptize An Alien? — Shadow by the Crib — Mutant Super-Rats Invade Liverpool
(Before It's News)
Would you baptize an alien?
That is the unusual question posed to students in Leeds by one of the Pope’s astronomers.
Scientific theories and religion look set to collide in a talk by leading papal astronomer Brother Guy Consolmagno SJ.
The acclaimed astronomer and Jesuit will share why astronomical research is so important to the Vatican.
Brother Guy is based at the Vatican Observatory headquarters in Castel Gandolfo and he curates the Vatican meteorite collection, which is believed to be one of the largest in the world.
He will deliver a lecture called “Would you baptize an Extra-Terrestrial?” at Leeds Trinity University, which is based in Horsforth.
He said: “I am excited to be coming to Leeds.
“I’ve always enjoyed visiting the north of England and have never actually visited Leeds itself, so that will make this visit special for me.
“And of course, the universities are well known, so I am looking forward to meeting people.”
The leading speaker is reported to have said he would be happy to baptise an alien – but admitted the chances of communicating with life outside the Earth were low.
Brother Guy, who was born in Detroit, studied planetary sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his research explores the connections between meteorites and asteroids.
He spent six weeks collecting meteorites with a team on the blue ice of Antarctica and has published more than 200 scientific publications.
The astronomer will share more about the history of the Vatican Observatory and the importance of astronomical research to the Vatican.
Brother Guy’s lecture forms part of a joint lecture series between the Leeds Trinity University’s chaplaincy and department of theology and religious studies.
Patricia Kelly, senior lecturer in catholic studies at Leeds Trinity University, said: “I’m delighted that Brother Guy has agreed to visit Leeds Trinity – it’s a real honour to have him here.
“He’s one of the best and most exciting speakers on science and religion and having heard him speak before on astronomy and God, I can’t wait to hear him again.” – Yorkshire Evening Post
“I was babysitting my niece once while I was staying at my brother’s place, and they had the baby camera setup so I could see her on the little TV it came with. I was studying and started dozing off when I heard some whispering and realized it was coming from the monitor.
I initially thought it was some feedback or something, but when I looked at the TV there was a dark shadow near my niece’s crib. I have never been more terrified in my life, but the shadow was clearly there where it had not been before. I ran to my niece’s room and looked around and saw nothing, but I took her the hell out of there. I went back to the TV, and the shadow was clearly gone.
I told my brother what happened and he pulled me aside and told me not to mention it to my sister-in-law because she’ll freak out, but that he had seen that same thing several times now, with the same whispering.
They stayed in that house for about four more years and when my niece was just learning to talk she would tell her mom about her ‘special friend.’ To this day, it scares the shit out of me. When they moved out, my brother told me my niece had become inconsolably sad because she would miss her ‘friend.’, Her mom would tell her she could bring him along but all she would say was that he couldn’t leave the house. We have never to this day told her about that damn shadow, and she apparently never saw it.” – Reddit
Mutant super-rats the size of cats and immune to poison invade Liverpool
Mutant super-rats which are immune to poison are making their home in Liverpool. Pest controllers working in the city say some disease-carrying rodents are the size of small cats and are becoming resistant to the bait used to kill them.
Sean Whelan, of Whelan Pest Prevention, said: “All around Merseyside there’s been a problem. We’re seeing bigger rats in Liverpool. They’re super-rats in my opinion.” Rat-catchers say the rodents are gorging themselves on food left in bins near take-away, restaurants and houses.
Sean added: “Access to food is so easy for them. They’re like humans, they eat and eat and get bigger and bigger.” Neil Trimnell, who runs Liverpool-based Pestforce, said: “They do seem to be getting bigger over the last 18 months. They’re eating more food and different types of food, particularly fast food waste.”
In the 1960s and 70s rat poison was based on blood-thinning drug warfarin. Now rat-catchers use a rodent killer made from bromadiolone but Sean says neither of these are working on some rats. Pest controllers are now looking at using stronger types of poison which would require the permission of the Health and Safety Executive. – Liverpool Echo
Kawah Ijen is one of several volcanoes located within the 20 km wide Ijen Caldera in East Java, Indonesia. The caldera of Kawah Ijen harbors a kilometer-wide, turquoise colored, acidic crater lake that leaks sulphurous gases constantly. At night the hot gases burn to emit an eerie blue glow that is unique to Kawah Ijen. The gases emerge from the cracks in the volcano at high pressure and temperature, up to 600°C, and when they come in contact with the air, they ignite, sending flames up to 16 feet high. Some of the gases condense into liquid sulfur, and continues to burn as it flows down the slopes giving the feeling of blue lava flowing.
Kawah Ijen’s sulphuric gases are also mined for sulphur. The volcanic gases are trapped by the local miners and channeled through a network of ceramic pipes, resulting in condensation of molten sulfur. The sulfur, which is deep red in color when molten, pours slowly from the ends of these pipes and pools on the ground, turning bright yellow as it cools. The miners break the cooled material into large pieces and carry it away in baskets to a nearby refinery. A worker can earn up to $13 dollars a day in this way.
The workers work in extremely hazardous condition with insufficient protection. Most of them suffers from numerous respiratory problems due to breathing toxic fumes day in and out. At times they work at night under to escape the heat of the sun, and to earn extra income.
These pictures were captured by photographer Olivier Grunewald, who lost two lenses and a camera to sulphuric corrosion while trying to capture the mysterious pictures. More photos at Amusing Planet

“There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.” This statement (worldview statement) was by Lord Kelvin in 1900, which was shattered only five years later when Einstein published his paper on special relativity. The new theories proposed by Einstein challenged the current (at that time) framework of understanding. This forced the scientific community to open up to an alternate view of the true nature of our reality. A great example of how things that once were regarded as truth have changed.
“Lord Kelvins statements bares with it the voice of paradigms past….We knew that the Earth was flat, we knew that we were the center of the universe, and we knew that a man-made heavier than air piece of machinery could not take flight. Through all stages of human history, intellectual authorities have pronounced their supremacy by ridiculing or suppressing elements of reality that simply didn’t fit within the framework of accepted knowledge. Are we really any different today? Have we really changed our acceptance towards things that won’t fit the frame? Maybe there are concepts of our reality we have yet to understand, and if we open our eyes maybe we will see that something significant has been overlooked.” – Terje Toftenes
Known as the Hessdalen Interactive Observatory, scientists at the University of Ostfold, Hessdalen, Norway have captured and documented many strange anomalies that seem to plague the area. It’s the only official 24 hour UFO observatory in the world. Radar and cameras have tracked and filmed numerous unexplainable phenomenon, the fastest one recorded at 30,000 km per hour. (Faster than any known air-craft today).
The example you see in the video below is known as the “Hessdalen phenomenon.” In September of 2007, a major survey was carried out by university scientists and students with a number of observation instruments. On the fourth night, the phenomenon decided to show up for them, up close.

Weather experts have been baffled by a black ring which appeared in the sky above Leamington Spa on Friday evening.
Schoolgirl Georgina Heap was playing tennis with her mother Jo Heap when she looked up at the sky near Warwick castle and saw a mysterious black ring.
She photographed the circle on her iPhone but so far, no one can explain the origin of the strange black mark.
Scroll down for video
Georgina Heap, 16, took the photograph on her iPhone on Friday evening. The ring was seen in the sky above Leamington Spa, near Warwick castle
The ring remained in the sky for around three minutes before disappearing completely.
The circle resembles a giant smoke ring but Warwickshire Fire and Rescue service said that there had been no reports of fire at the time of the sighting.
The Met Office said that the ring did not appear to be weather-related.
Nick Pope, an expert on UFOs and a previous government adviser on unexplained phenomena, said he believed the circle to be 'organic'.
He said: 'It's a truly bizarre image. It looks like a smoke ring, but I can't see where it could have come from.
'Other alternatives would include some sort of unusual meteorological phenomenon.
'One other possibility is that the shape is made up of millions of bees or other insects, but I've never heard of insects behaving in this way before, so if this is the explanation, it's a real-life X-File.'
What is this curious black ring seen in Leamington Spa?
Georgina Heap took the picture of the strange black ring on her iPhone. The 16-year-old described the sighting as 'the weirdest thing I have ever seen'
Nick Pope, an expert on UFO sightings and former government adviser, said he believed the circle may be a swarm of insects in the sky
Miss Heap, who is studying for her GCSEs, described the circle as 'the weirdest thing I have ever seen'.
She said: 'I looked up at it and thought ‘what the hell?’,it was amazing.
'It was just floating there like a cloud and then it disappeared. It wasn’t birds either.
'There were about ten of us who stopped what we were doing and watched.'
The black circle appeared in the sky near Warwick castle. It stayed there for around three minutes before vanishing. The local fire service said it had received no reports of fire on Friday evening
Recently, cosmologist Laura Magdelene Eisenhower, great grand-daughter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, issued the following statement – – affirming that an extraterrestrial invasion has already begun and governments do not want us to know.
Did President Eisenhower Meet with Aliens in 1954?
NOTE: For decades, Edwards AFB has been considered the location of this meeting…but through statements I have collected over the years as well as other anecdotal evidence available online, I have come to the conclusion that Holloman AFB (the former Alamogordo Army Air Field) was the actual location of the encounter. In 1954, Holloman AFB was the venue for all flight research and development projects in the military…Lon
One of the first conclusions an impartial observer must make about the subject of UFOs is that rumors and circumstance play far too great a role in what ought to be a more exacting quest for knowledge. It is just such an observation which once led Dr. Carl Sagan to comment dryly that UFOs “are more a matter for religion and superstition than they are for science.”
While this dismissal is perhaps unscientific in its own right, the point is well taken. Attend any gathering of “UFO people” you want, and simply listen. Rumors abound. Perhaps worse, however, is that some of these rumors manage to circulate for years (even decades) without anyone making a reasonable effort to get to the bottom of them.
One of the most persistent of these is a story that President Eisenhower visited Edwards Air Force Base in early 1954, and either viewed the bodies of dead aliens and the wreckage of their craft, or met with live aliens on some sort of diplomatic mission to earth.
The story takes many forms, with the common thread being that Ike mysteriously disappeared one evening while on a vacation to Palm Springs, and that he was spirited to Edwards to view (or meet) aliens. It is said that he returned by dawn and shortly thereafter ordered absolute secrecy about anything having to do with UFOs.
No doubt one of the reasons that this particular rumor has continued to circulate for such a long time is that there are a number of verifiable facts associated with it–some of them rather curious.
For example, President Eisenhower did indeed make a trip to Palm Springs between February 17th and 24th, 1954, and on the evening of Saturday, February 20th, he did disappear! When members of the press learned that the president was not where he should be, rumors ran rampant that he had either died or was seriously ill.
The story even managed to get onto a press wire before being killed moments later. To quell the fuss, White House Press Secretary James Haggerty called an urgent late evening press conference to announce “solemnly” that the president had been enjoying fried chicken earlier that evening, had knocked a cap off a tooth, and had been taken to a local dentist for treatment.
When Ike turned up as scheduled the next morning for an early church service, the matter seemed ended. Although the Palm Springs trip was billed as a “vacation for the president”, the trip appears to have come up rather suddenly.
In addition, it is a matter of record that Ike had returned from a quail shooting vacation in Georgia less than a week before leaving for Palm Springs.
While the incidence of a local dentist being called upon to treat a president of the United States is unusual enough that it should constitute a rather memorable event for those involved, the dentist’s widow, in a June, 1979 interview, was curiously unable to recall any specifics relating to her husband’s alleged involvement in the affair–not even the time of day it had occurred. Yet her memory appeared flawless when asked to relate details of her and her husband’s attendance (by presidential invitation) at a steak fry the following evening, where her husband was introduced as “the dentist who had treated the president”.
This would appear to suggest a cover story, the details of which would have easily been repeated at the time, but quite naturally forgotten 25 years later. Research at the Eisenhower Library has uncovered two other facts inconsistent with the dentist story.
The first is that while the library maintains an extensive index of records relating to the president’s health, there is no record of any dental work having been performed at all during February, 1954. A file on “Dentists” contains nothing concerning any such incident either. Secondly, there is a large file containing copies of all sorts of acknowledgments which were sent by the White House to people who had something to do with the Palm Springs trip.
There are letters, for example, to people who sent flowers, people who met the airplane, people who had offered to play golf, etc. There is even a thank you letter to the minister who presided over the Sunday service Ike attended. Yet there is no record of any acknowledgment having been sent to “the dentist who treated the president.”
If the matter were as routine as Haggerty attempts to make it appear, then the absence of these records seems strangely inconsistent. The rumor of the president’s alleged visit to Edwards is not a new one. UFO contactee fringe writers began making unsupported claims about it less than two months after Ike’s trip.
So did a bizarre fellow from the Hollywood hills named Gerald Light, who, in an April 16, 1954 letter to the head of a Southern California metaphysical organization, actually claimed to have been at Edwards where he saw Ike, the saucers and the aliens. Light’s letter has been controversial for years and copies of it have turned up in all sorts of places, including the National Enquirer.
Investigation into Mr. Light’s background, however, turned up the fact that he was an elderly mystic who believed that psychic “out-of-body-experiences” were a logical extension of the reality of life and should be treated as such. In the final analysis, Light’s alleged visit to Edwards was just such an experience.
And so the story ends. Clearly something unusual occurred involving the president on the evening of February 20, 1954. Whether it was a trip to the dentist, a trip to see flying saucers, or something altogether different and unrelated, no one can say. It’s the stuff rumors are made of. – William H.

President Eisenhower’s ‘Alien Meeting’ at Holloman AFB
by Clark C. McClelland, Former ScO, U.S. Space Shuttle Fleet KSC, Florida 1958 to 1992
agoracomsopolitam – “Shortly after the US Air Force became a separate branch of the service, Alamogordo Air Base became Holloman AFB in honour of Colonel George V. Holloman, a pioneer in Air Force research and development.” The old Alamogordo airfield had been a training base for heavy bombers. Then, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower was landing at Holloman. It was a smooth landing as landings go. The big Lockheed Constellation in passenger service in those days carried over 125 passengers, but there were fewer than twenty aides and secret service men in the main cabin with the crew of fourteen each at his station. At about 7,000 feet into the landing, Major Bill Draper, the pilot, started reversing the engines, and the plane slowed measurably and taxied to the end of the runway.
Air Force One taxied back up the runway about 75 yards and stopped. All engines were shut down. There were probably 300 people with a vantage point, who saw Air Force One land, and as it did, they called others to other windows, work stations and vantage points. It must have seemed very eerie for the president’s plane to be seen sitting out there almost a half mile away, alone and quiet.
No red carpet, no band, no honour parade, just a few horned meadowlarks calling in the distance. Eventually, the base workers returned to their stations. And always the question was asked: Is Ike here? What’s going on? The civilians and military on the base had been told that while the president was here, this would be a “business as usual” day. A few minutes earlier, Col. Sharp, the base commander, and several officers had gone to the base operations tower to see the president’s plane land.
The first communication they heard about 8:10 was “HOLLOMAN TOWER, THIS IS AIR FORCE 7885 TEN MILES EAST OF MARYHILL.”
They requested landing instructions, other traffic in the area, and base wind direction. The runway they were assigned was the farthest away from the hangars and workshops. It was obvious to base personnel that what was happening or going to happen was as far away as it could be. Little could be seen unless one had a vantage point and binoculars. Phones all over the base were very busy, many questions were asked, is he still out on the runway?
But about ten minutes after the plane landed the radar officers gave instructions to shut off all radar. He had turned base operations over to his deputy base commander as long as the President was here. He felt it his duty to be with him with no distractions.
There were a dozen visual patrols out around the base and some of the up-range small radars were on. A phone rang in the tower with a report of two unidentified objects passing over Range Road 12. Then a minute later the bogies were over Range Road 7 only a few minutes from the runways. Men in the tower swung their glasses to the north in the morning haze. Then something glinted in the sun, then something else just below it.
A report came in of a third bogie five minutes behind the first two. The tower personnel who did not know what these were, were stunned. No tail, no wings, no motors. Just round objects approaching the president’s plane sitting alone on the far runway with a covey of base officers in the tower, including Col. Sharp. They knew something big was up. They reported the objects, logged them and did their job which was “business as usual.” The two objects stopped about 300 feet over Air Force One, and one descended on the far side of the plane and gently touched about 200 feet ahead of the plane.
The other hovered briefly and then came across the near runway towards the big hangars and some shop buildings. It took up a position somewhere above the buildings over the tarmac. The disc had a good vantage point of anything that might come towards the president’s plane and the disc on the ground. It was with some disbelief that two UFOs had come to Holloman AFB in February of 1955. There was little background for believing in them at all as extraterrestrial. Some who saw or heard about the two craft at the base that day thought they might be new Russian or German innovations.
Soon after the UFO landed in front of Air Force One, a man many assumed to be the President, came to the doorway of the plane, descended the portable stairs and approached the saucer on the ground. Some sort of a hatch had been opened a few minutes before and had folded down to become a small ramp. The man walked up the ramp, stood briefly at the opening, shook hands with someone, and went inside.
