UFO Attacked by U.S Army in L.A Original Broadcast (Video)
UFO Attacked by U.S Army in L.A – Original Broadcast (Video)
UFO Attacked by U.S Army in L,A. – The City Was Blacked Out For Hours
Battle of L.A
With the city blacked out hundreds of thousands of people, were able to see the eerie visitor with spectacular clarity.
The U.S. Army anti-aircraft searchlights by this time had the object completely covered. They sent fighter planes up in groups approach it and then turn away. There were shooting at it but it didn’t seem to matter
The planes were apparently called off after several minutes and then the ground cannon opened up. “It was like the Fourth of July but much louder. They were firing like crazy but they couldn’t touch it.
The attack on the object lasted over half an hour before the visitor eventually disappeared from sight. Many eyewitnesses talked of numerous “direct hits” on the big craft but no damage was seen done to it.
UFO moves like rocket, then stops over Oakville, Ontario
UFO moves like rocket, then stops over Oakville, Ontario
A witness has reported sighting UFO that moved like a rocket, and stopped over Oakville, Ontario on 10 April, 2014 at 9:30 AM. This report has been obtained from a testimony included in the database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), published on 10 April, 2014.
The witness begins the report by telling us that a light in the sky caught his attention. He goes on to describe the shape and intensity of the object.
“It was round in shape; appeared to have various intensity.”
The witness describes the speed and movement of the object.
“Moved very slow almost like floating. Stopped, hovered for a few seconds then shot up rapidly then stopped and hovered again for a few seconds.”
He then talks about the direction in which it ‘float away’.
“It then started to float away in the same direction it was previously moving it.”
The witness describes his initial reaction to the sighting.
“Oddest and eeriest thing I’ve ever seen. Thought process moved from plane, to shooting star, to meteor then realized that it was just moving way to slow.”
He further describes how the object behaved like a rocket. “I wouldn’t be normally reading too much into this but it stopped and hovered, shot up like a rocket then stopped and hovered again.”
The witness finally tells us that he could only record the object for 30 seconds, before it disappeared.
“By the time I reached for my cell to take video I was only able to film about 30 seconds of it floating away”

UFO shocks British Columbia Firefighters
UFO shocks British Columbia Firefighters
Firefighters in Maple Ridge, British Columbia were shocked when they observed some UFO orbs in the sky, in March 2014, as reported by UFO Sightings Daily. The website, UFO Sightings Daily, is coordinated by Scott C. Waring. He had been affiliated with the United States Air Force at SAC base (USAF flight line). He currently owns an ESL School in Taiwan.
In this report, Scott Waring has published images of the UFO.
Mr. Waring tells us how the Maple ridge fire department has been freaking out believing that these orbs may be Chinese lanterns.
“Maple ridge fire department is freaking out believing these orbs may be Chinese lantern.”
He then tells us that these glowing UFOs have been observed all over the world. “These glowing UFOs have been seen around the world and performing some extraordinary madder at speeds many times faster than any military jet.”
Quoting an eyewitness, he describes the colour and speed of the object.
“They were bright red and slightly moving.”
He further quotes the eyewitness explaining how these orbs could not have been Chinese lanterns.
“I don’t think they were candle lanterns, as they were so bright.” It is unlikely that these orbs are lanterns since BC law prohibits their sale and use.”
Finally, Mr. Waring says that it’s always best to stick with the eyewitnesses’ testimony over those who did not see the UFOs.

Ah, Mr. Pope, Sales Talk? However, Only 33 Years Apart But Equally Important & Perhaps Much In Common!
Ah, Mr. Pope, Sales Talk? However, Only 33 Years Apart But Equally Important & Perhaps Much In Common
Roswell has long been everyone’s favourite UFO case. Mainly, that’s because almost everyone has heard about it: “Roswell? Oh yeah, the place where a UFO crashed, right?”
But last year, the last primary witness – Jesse Marcel Junior – died, and the UFO community realised something important, namely that it doesn’t say much for ufology if the subject’s so-called flagship case is one that happened nearly 70 years ago, with nobody left alive to tell the story first-hand. It was something of a gift to the sceptics. Couldn’t ufology come up with something better? Fortunately, it could.
TV networks and production companies led the way. Knowing that the lack of witnesses made it very difficult to make new shows on Roswell, they began to focus instead on the Rendlesham Forest incident. It was the ‘perfect storm’ of a UFO case: a UFO that landed next to two US military bases (Bentwaters and Woodbridge) in the UK, at the height of the Cold War, and was witnessed by dozens of military personnel. The UFO was seen on three consecutive nights and witnesses included the Deputy Base Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt.
The Rendlesham Forest incident wasn’t just ‘lights in the sky’. The UFO landed, and on the first, night two United States Air Force security police officers, John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, approached the craft.
Jim Penniston made sketches in his police notebook, showing the craft, and strange symbols that he saw on its side, which he likened to Egyptian hieroglyphs. (Seen Below)
Penniston touched the craft, and at this point received what he could only describe as a “telepathic download” of ones and zeroes, which many in the UFO and alternative belief community think is a binary code message, perhaps from extraterrestrials, or maybe from the far future. This ‘Rendlesham Code’ has fast become the most controversial story in ufology today, and has probably featured in at least a dozen TV shows recently, with more in the pipeline.
What makes the Rendlesham Forest incident bigger and more compelling than Roswell is the physical evidence. The UFO was tracked on military radar. The trees in the clearing where the UFO landed had braches smashed off and were scorched – but only on the sides facing the UFO. There were indentations in the frozen ground, showing where the object – estimated to weight several tonnes – landed. Radiation levels recorded at the landing site were assessed by the MoD’s Defence Intelligence Staff as “significantly higher than the average background”. Best of all, the MoD’s case file (now declassified and made public) showed that the senior US Air Force general in Europe flew to the twin bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge after the landing, was briefed on the incident, and took evidence back to his HQ – without telling the UK authorities! And this took place at a time when the US government’s official line was that it no longer investigated UFOs!
I teamed up with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston recently to write a book on the case. “Encounter in Rendlesham Forest” was serialised in the Daily Mail last Saturday and reached number 35 in the Amazon book charts as a consequence. It’s the only UFO book ever to have required security clearance from both the American and British government.
So, Roswell is dead. Long live Rendlesham Forest!
Nick Pope’s latest book, Encounter in Rendlesham Forest, was published on 15th April. Click here for details.
The truth is out there — in fact, it might be just up the New York State Thruway.
Here are a couple of things you probably didn’t know: New York has its own Roswell — an unofficial UFO sighting capital. And that capital is the small town of Pine Bush, about an hour and a half north of Manhattan on the west side of the Hudson.
Some out-of-town “customers” hang out at a Pine Bush Realtor’s on Main Street.
Legend has it residents have been witnessing strange events, including floating balls of light in the forest, going back to the early 1900s. In the 1950s through the 1990s, reports of unidentified airborne objects exploded. Hundreds of converts claimed to have seen a boomerang-shaped object darting through the sky. Others have videotaped triangular lights or cigar-shaped crafts. Still others have reported seeing strange objects in the sky headed for LaGuardia Airport.
Pine Bush has long embraced its connection to the beyond, viewing it as a potential way to nab tourist dollars. On Saturday, the town hosts its annual UFO Fair. (The rain date is Sunday.)
The daylong event, now in its fourth year, includes live music, lectures from UFO authors, games, face painting and an alien-themed parade down Main Street with decorated cars and humans in costumes.
“It’s probably one of the biggest days we have here,” says Phil Barnao, owner of Fort Lox Bagel, Cafe & Deli, which will host an audience-participation radio broadcast of “The War of the Worlds” at 7 p.m. “They make it a family-oriented type of deal.”
Locals dress the part for their annual parade.

For the record, Barnao has never seen a UFO himself.
“People who have, they must be doing a lot of medical marijuana. I don’t know,” he says.
Last year’s festival drew some 7,000 believers. “We’ve started to get people from the city,” says Domanie Ragni, community services director for the town of Crawford, of which Pine Bush is a part. “People come from out of state. We had somebody come from another country.”
Those hoping to snap a photo of a spacecraft might be out of luck. Sightings have dropped since the 1990s when, perhaps not coincidentally, the cow fields in which skywatchers used to gather were turned into strip malls or condos.
This alien gets a touch-up.

We’re a long way from the days in 1993 when a local man told the Poughkeepsie Journal that he’d been abducted by little green men and immobilized in order to have “a sperm sample” taken. That wasn’t an alien, sir, it was Madonna.
Another article described the sighting of a strange cat that “had a piece of cardboard where its head should be.”
No one’s quite sure why little Pine Bush has been honored with so much mysterious activity. One of the few explanations was put forth by a geologist named Bruce Cornet, who theorized in the 1990s that the Hudson Valley was home to underground alien bases that were beaming signals to spaceships in orbit.
Cornet claimed that the geography of Pine Bush was similar to that of the area on Mars where early photos seemed to reveal the outline of a giant face (later shown to be a trick of the shadows) and pyramid-like structures. (You guessed it — it was later shown to be a trick of the shadows.)
The window at Butch’s haircutters has space for an otherworldly barbershop quartet sign.
Ah, well. Should you be heading to Pine Bush for the UFO Fair, please let the ETs know that they’re wise to keep building their bases a few hours north of New York. Rents here are murder.
Pine Bush UFO Fair; ufofairpinebush. com; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. street fair with food, music vendors and costumes on Main Street; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. car show at EJR Elementary School, 78 Holland Ave.; 3 p.m. parade down Main Street; 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Linda Zimmerman, author of “Hudson Valley UFOs,” speaks at Pine Bush Library, 227 Maple Ave.
Elk jaar krijgen 1500 Britten contact met buitenaardse wezens
“Elk jaar krijgen 1500 Britten contact met buitenaardse wezens”
Op 31 mei komen in het Engelse Hastings zo’n 1000 mensen bijeen die beweren buitenaardse wezens te hebben ontmoet, aan boord te zijn geweest van buitenaardse schepen of een hybride kind te hebben gekregen.
De bijeenkomst wordt georganiseerd door de Anomalous Mind Management Abductee Contactee Helpline (Ammach), de ‘enige groep’ in Groot-Brittannië die steun en raad geeft aan mensen die zeggen buitenaards contact te hebben gehad. Onder de sprekers is ook een man die zegt 9/11 te hebben voorspeld na een ontmoeting met een buitenaardse entiteit.
Ammach schat dat ieder jaar zo’n 1500 Britten contact krijgen met buitenaardsen. Onder hen is een vrouw die zegt dat buitenaardsen implantaten hebben ingebracht in haar lichaam, een man die een buitenaardse vrouw en kind heeft en een vrouw die naar eigen zeggen meer dan 1000 keer is meegenomen door buitenaardsen. De organisatie krijgt ongeveer vijf telefoontjes en 25 e-mails per week.
Miles Johnston
Ammach is in 2011 opgericht door Joanne Summerscales en Miles Johnston. “We gebruiken magnetische veldmeters en een UV-lamp die sporen op de huid zichtbaar maakt,” zei Johnston. “Als je naar een andere dimensie bent geweest, laat dat een afdruk achter in de atomen in je huid. Dat kun je zien onder ultraviolet licht.”
De conferentie is voornamelijk bedoeld als ontmoetingsplaats voor mensen die bang zijn voor gek te worden versleten omdat ze buitenaards contact hebben. “Deze mensen lijden niet aan waanideeën,” zei Summerscales. “Veel mensen zitten in een isolement. Het is moeilijk om naar buiten te treden. Sommigen zijn getraumatiseerd, anderen zijn bang dat ze aan de medicijnen moeten.”
Alan Godfrey haalde in 1980 het nieuws toen hij als politieagent een ruitvormig object ‘uit de ruimte’ zag. “De media reageren over het algemeen erg sceptisch en neerbuigend als iemand een UFO heeft gezien, maar ze twijfelen niet aan het bestaan van het beroemdste buitenaardse wezen aller tijden: Jezus,” zei hij.
Godfrey zei dat zijn portofoon op het moment van de waarneming niet werkte en dat het ineens heel stil werd. Hij maakte ook een schets van het object. Toen hij nadien op zijn horloge keek, bleek er 1,5 uur te zijn verstreken.
Ammach stelt mensen in staat om op te staan en verhalen met gelijkgestemden te delen. Tijdens de eerste bijeenkomst beet een man het spits af. In tranen vertelde hij: “Ik ben mijn vrouw kwijt. Ik ben mijn baan kwijt. Ik ben mijn vrienden kwijt. Mensen oordelen altijd zo snel.”
Een familielid van een officier uit Roswell zei dat er na het beroemde Roswellincident niet alleen een levend buitenaards wezen uit de gecrashte UFO is gehaald, maar dat hij er 15 jaar lang vrienden mee is geweest.
“Mensen beweren vaak dat ze aan boord van ruimteschepen zijn geweest voor onderzoeken of dat buitenaardsen biologisch materiaal hebben afgenomen, zoals sperma,” aldus Summerscale. “Sommigen zijn maandenlang aan boord van buitenaardse schepen geweest. Anderen hebben een hybride kind gekregen. Maar niemand praat er buiten deze conferenties over, uit angst dat ze worden onderworpen aan een geestelijk onderzoek.” Summerscale gelooft niet ieder verhaal dat ze hoort, maar vindt het vooral belangrijk dat mensen kunnen vertellen wat ze hebben meegemaakt.
An aerial drone was used to capture the historic launch of this revolutionary rocket. We’re used to seeing rockets launch and disappear into the sky, but things are a little different at Elon Musk’s SpaceX facility in Texas. On Friday, the company launched its first test flight of a Falcon 9 Reusable (F9R) rocket, which reached over 800 feet in altitude and then made a controlled landing.
Een hevige zandstorm heeft de Chinese provincie Gansu, in het noordwesten van het land, geteisterd. Het was de zwaarste zandstorm sinds 1996: de zichtbaarheid was beperkt tot 20 meter en het leek alsof het plots nacht werd. De zandstorm ontregelde ook het treinverkeer.
Scholen adviseerden ouders om hun kinderen thuis te houden, meldde de South China Morning Post. Op diverse plaatsen werd de hoogste alarmfase ‘rood’ afgekondigd. In heel Jiuquan was het zicht woensdag beperkt tot 50 meter. Ook in de nabijgelegen prefecturen Guazhou, Subei, Yumen en Jinta werd alarmfase rood uitgeroepen.
“Het werd plotseling donker en ik weet niet of het nu dag of nacht is,” zei één inwoner. “Mijn neus doet pijn en ik kan mijn ogen niet open doen,” zei een ander.
De provincie Gansu beslaat een deel van de Gobiwoestijn, die zich uitstrekt over Binnen-Mongolië en het noorden van China. In de lente kunnen zich gigantische zandstormen vormen. Die bereiken soms zelfs de Chinese hoofdstad Peking.
Dr. Francisco Julio Padron, a physician, was being driven to Galdar, on Grand Canary Island, when he and his chauffeur saw a spherical object “about the size of a 3-story building” 60 yards off the road. It was of grayish blue color, but transparent—we could see the stars through it.” Near the center of the sphere were 2 figures well over 6 ft tall, who were either red in color or dressed in bright red; they had human faces with large eyes, and their heads gave off a glow. They wore cloth like helmets hiding their ears. On the ends of their arms they had “wing-like appendages that they moved slowly, like hands.” The car’s radio went out, and the witnesses felt an intense cold. Then the object began to rise, apparently growing larger as it did so. Many other witnesses, including 3 astronomers at the observatory, saw the object take off; it approached the observatory, then made a sharp 90-degree turn and took off “like a streak of light.” Onions in the field over which the UFO hovered were found later to have been “cooked” as if by burning.

Mr. and Mrs. Buck McMullen had just sat down to eat when their dog, chained outside their modest house south of Lakeland began to whimper and howl. They paid little attention to him although the dog had a reputation for being vicious and usually showed no fear of anything. That night however, the animal was obviously terrified for he tore loose from his chain, ripped a hole in the porch screen and ran into the dining room to cower under the table where they were sitting. Grace McMullen jumped up and ran outside to sew what could have frightened the animal. Fifty yards from the house she saw a transparent spherical object rocking gently about 10 feet off the ground. It gave off a purplish-red light. Inside the object Mrs. McMullen says she saw two occupants resembling normal men. They were standing, operating a horizontal bar attached to a metallic spindle that ran through the object from top to bottom. They wore dull white, tight fitting clothing, boots, high collars and skull caps. Stunned, Mrs. McMullen turned on the porch light to attract their attention but they didn’t appear to be interested. Although she admits she was frightened Mrs. McMullen says she realized that it could be important and tried to remember everything that occurred. Her husband and her son’s fiancée, Sharon Burgess, who was visiting came outside and stood dumbfounded, but Mrs. McMullen did verify that they were all seeing the same thing. She had thought that she might be dreaming. According to the McMullen’s description the occupants inside the sphere were operating a horizontal bar with their hands inside some sort of flexible compartment. They stood on opposite sides of the spindle and when one pushed down on his side of the bar the ship rocked to that side. As they worked the horizontal bar the ship rocked and as the rocking increased the ship increased its altitude and speed. Mrs. McMullen thinks it might have been on the ground in a vacant field just in front of their house and was taking off when she got outside. She was able to determine the UFO’s size and altitude by its relationship to a tall palm-tree beside the home. Sharon hung back on the porch and suddenly the dog tore another hole in the screen getting out of the house and ran down the road howling in terror. The object rose slowly, rocking, until it was about a mile from the house, then there was a silent burst of fire and sparks and it sped out of sight. Mrs. McMullen says the UFO was in sight for about 10 minutes. Mrs. McMullen reports that the object appeared to be made of a substance resembling glass; it made no sound and she saw no source of power aboard. A band of blue light circled its middle and a halo of purplish-red light shone around the top. These lights glowed dully and both beams were aimed upward. The occupants were turned away from her so she could not see their faces. The object was about 30 feet in diameter, a perfectly circular globe, and there appeared to be no place inside for occupants to sit.

In the spring of 1964 Mrs. Lainchbury was awoken during the night and saw her bedroom illuminated by an orange glow. A sphere of fire passed across the sky, apparently quite close to her wall, and exploded into thousands of pieces in absolute silence. She then says she heard a strange chattering but whether this is anything to do with the case is a matter of judgment. The next day it was found that paint was burnt off the window frames and door at that point on the wall. After repainting the paint fell off in massive lumps. It would no longer stick to the surface. A couple of months later an entity appeared in Mrs. Lainchbury’s bedroom one night. It was five feet tall and completely covered in gray circular rings of small dimensions, which may or may not have been some form of suit. It told the witness that it was from the “ship” that she had seen and was stranded on earth. It thanked her for not being frightened on the first occasion, and explained that this was why she could now receive further visits. After this a further contact occurred in similar fashion, the entities materializing and dematerializing on the spot in the bedroom. On the second occasion, however, there were two other figures with the first. They mentally told Mrs. Lainchbury that they came from Pluto by forming letters in mid-air in front of her. She says that she did not know what this word was until she checked a dictionary afterwards. Here she read the definition that it was another name for Hades or Hell and she took this to be their origin. She did not realize Pluto was a planet of the solar system. Some three years later, while the witness was in bed, she found herself compelled to go to the window. Here she saw an orange sphere float past. She felt certain that this was the entities returning home after having been rescued and that this was their way of saying goodbye to her.

Mrs. L again saw a luminous flying orange sphere near her house. Later that night, 3 entities dressed, as before, in suits made of small rings (one was “rather tubby’) appeared in her bedroom to thank her for not being frightened, and to say they would be departing soon.

There are not many instances in which U.S. Air Force UFO investigators admitted to being baffled, but the case of a police officer seeing a UFO near the ground outside of Socorro, New Mexico in 1964, left them scratching their heads.
50 years ago today, on April 24, 1964 at approximately 5:45 pm, Socorro police officer Lonnie Zamora began pursuing a speeding vehicle just south of town. He then says he heard a “roar,” and he broke off his pursuit to investigate. He knew of a nearby dynamite shack and decided to go take look to see if it was the source of the noise.
He also noticed a flame in the sky. He said it was a bluish orange and appeared to be descending. He says he could not focus on it because he was paying attention to the road. A part of the dirt road was very steep and he had trouble getting over it.
When he did crest the hill he noticed a white object on the ground out in the desert and two people in coveralls near it. He said the object looked oval and white. It also seemed to be on two legs. He thought it might be a car wreck, so he raced down the road to help. He called dispatch to let them know he would be assisting in a car wreck.

When he got closer to the object he pulled his car around, stopped to radio in that he was leaving his car, and then got out. He fumbled with the radio handset, and just as he turned around, he heard a loud “roar (was not exactly a blast).” He said the object began to rise and it had a blue flame under it. He said the bottom of the flame looked orange.
At this point he also noticed the object was smooth with no windows and it had an insignia on the side. He was afraid the thing was going to explode, so he ran. As he ran around his patrol car his leg hit the fender and he fell down. He glanced back and saw the object was still rising, and the roar kept getting louder.

Zamora got up and kept running from the object, finally jumping over a hill for cover. He said the sound stopped. He had planned on continuing to run, but he noticed the object was now moving away. It was only about 10 to 15 feet from the ground. It flew over the dynamite shack, just clearing it by a few feet. It flew off following the contour of the ground, never higher than 20 feet or so, until Zamora lost sight of it.
Zamora went back to his car and asked the radio operator to look out of the window to see if he could see the object. The dispatcher didn’t see anything. Then New Mexico state police officer Sergeant Chavez arrived on the scene.

Chavez asked what was wrong. He noticed Zamora looked out of breath and pale. Zamora told him the story, and they went to look at the area the object had landed. When they got there they noticed a burnt bush and impressions in the ground left by what appeared to be landing gear.

Zamora’s sighting made it into local newspapers and caught the attention of the U.S. Air Force’s Project Blue Book, their official investigation into UFOs. Investigators were impressed with Zamora’s credibility. They were also impressed with the physical evidence. A burnt branch from the bush and the soil at the site of the impressions were analyzed. However, nothing unusual was found. They also tested for radiation, but levels were normal.

There was burnt cardboard found on the site, but Blue Book’s scientific advisor, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, said it was old. He felt it was probably blown by the wind under the bush that got burnt, and was not sturdy enough to be part of a hoax. He noted many bushes in the area had paper or cardboard brought in by the wind stuck under them.
Investigators also noted that there were no tracks from vehicles going into the area. This supported the idea that it was not a hoax. In the end, Blue Book investigators didn’t know what Zamora saw. However, they were certain it was not extraterrestrial.
They noted that the object did not seem to demonstrate technology beyond that of our own space program. In fact, since the White Sands Missile Range was so near, they thought it could have been an experimental craft from there. They even suggested it could be a Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), like those used in the Apollo program. However, their investigation into these possibilities did not produce a definite answer.

Blue Book director Hector Quintanilla said, “[Zamora] is puzzled by what he saw and frankly, so are we. This is the best-documented case on record, and still we have been unable, in spite of thorough investigation, to find the vehicle or other stimulus that scared Zamora to the point of panic.”
This case has continued to be important in UFO research, and occasionally finds itself back in the news. In 2009, a professor and former students from New Mexico Tech said they thought they might know who hoaxed it. They thought it was an elaborate tricked played on Zamora. However, they did not produce anything definitive.
In 2012, Zamora’s UFO sighting was memorialized by a mural in the town of Socorro. It is several hundred yards from the actual landing site.

The Socorro case has had a lasting effect on locals and those interested in the UFO phenomenon. 50 years later, Zamora’s experience still makes us wonder. I have a feeling that 50 years from now there will still be interest, along with new articles by people in the future still wondering what the heck Lonnie saw out there in the lonely desert.

A witness in Weaverville, NC, reported watching a “strange being” that was first seen about 20 feet from a cow in a nearby pasture, according to April 24, 2014, testimony in Case 55737 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was standing on a porch looking across the street into a pasture where about 20 cows were grazing on May 15, 2013, when the incident occurred.
“I saw something move by a tree just above the lower pasture,” the witness stated. “I kept my eyes there and 'it' stepped out. Strangest thing I ever saw.”
The witness described the being: ”It looked really tall, 7 to 10 feet. It looked really skinny – stick like. I could see very long fingers on the hands. It was approximately 20 feet from a cow that it appeared to be watching.”
The witness moved in an attempt to get binoculars.
“As soon as I moved it sprinted toward the woods at the base of a small mountain/hill. The stride it made was amazing to see. The sprint was more like speed walking – very smooth, quick, long strides almost gliding with leg and knee movement. It was grayish brown and blended perfectly with trees. As I saw it enter the tree line, it paused and looked back over the pasture toward me.”
The witness then left the scene momentarily to retrieve binoculars.
“When I got back with them I scanned the tree line where I last saw it and saw it just peeking around a tree and part of its leg past the tree. Then it just disappeared.”
A few months after this incident, the same witness reports a dream-like encounter with aliens who communicated telepathically.
Witness said: It was moving around much more before I got my video camera. The 2 lights were on the tall TV or radio towers located in the area of 32nd st and Southern here in Phoenix. Our location was 41st Way and Fremont st. It would move so fast, stop, and would turn so fast it could not be any type of aircraft we have here? Your guess is a good as mine.
Amazing UFO sighting over Las Vegas, Nevada on 16th April 2014
Amazing UFO sighting over Las Vegas, Nevada on 16th April 2014
Witness said: I took this video at about 8:20 PM to 8:24 PM on April 16th, 2014 from my backyard. I was looking to the northeast or towards North Las Vegas and Nellis Air Force Base.
At about 8:20 PM on April 16th, 2014 I went out onto my patio to have a cigarette. At about 8:22 PM I saw what I thought was a low flying airplane over Las Vegas until it reversed directions instantly. I got up and went to a spot in my yard where I could see it better. It was moving all over the northwestern sky, blinking a greenish blue and red. The colors were very bright. I immediately reached into my pocket and grabbed my Galaxy S4 so that I could try and shoot a video of what I was seeing. It’s only the second time I have filmed a video on this phone so it was a bit shaky and I was pretty jacked up because you could clearly see this was a UFO and not a conventional aircraft. This all appeared to occur over and near Nellis Air Force Base however another witness said it was in the Centennial Hills area of Las Vegas so it was probably between 13 and 21 miles away when I videotaped it. My home is on the extreme west side of Las Vegas near the Red Rocks and the Pine Mountains. The video is shaky but other parts clearly show this object moving at incredibly fast speeds and in a manner no other air worth craft could do. Nellis Air Force Base is 21 miles from my home so if it was over the base it must have been pretty large in size and it must have been moving very fast at times. It also seemed to go very low at times, seeming to almost land right in the populated area of North Las Vegas.
I used the YouTube Video Editor in order to lighten up the black sky so it’s easier to see that this UFO was making some crazy turns. Keep in mind that the UFO is probably anywhere from 10 to 20 miles away during the video.
A largetriangular shaped object was observed by two well qualified witnesses. One was an aircraft technician in the Army with a military intelligence background and the other was an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force. They both had 38 years experience. On November 19th 2013 at 6:20 pm they both observed a huge triangular flying object that flew about 500 ft above them moving roughly from North to South. It was past dusk and was a fairly clear night. They both said that the object had a wing span larger than a C-5A cargo plane. The object flew slowly at 10 – 15 knots (12-17 mph) and silently with no noise. The rear of the object displayed a row of white pulsing lights. As it moved away a very small drone like object was noticed flying alongside on the left. When the object got further out it banked to the Southeast allowing them to see clearly the triangular shape of the object. The slow speed allowed the witnesses to examine the object closely. The words of one of the witnesses best describes what they saw: “I could almost make out what appeared to be seams in the material, but it was not shiny; more dull and like carbon fiber. The leading edge was rounded and there was no tail to say, (in today’s aircraft everything has a vertical stabilizer with a stabilizer or ailerons. Sort of like a big T. You know what I mean and the anti-collision lights go on top bottom and left and right.)” “I walked under it trying to make out markings, but it was just blending in with the sky so good the only way to tell the outline was that it was blocking out the stars and what few clouds where there. The ends had a reddish/pink glow but not strobes or rotating beacons. “I could not make out a cockpit. It turned to the south east towards Moody Air Force Base as if it was in a pattern but way too low. As it did this I could see the back of it. This is why I say it looked like a big wing. The light on the back were from left to right, and white, not strobes, but pulsing. “Dave said that’s a tight formation; then as it banked he said John that’s one single object. I said yeah I know but damned if I know what. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
Something Is Monitoring The Planet, And They Are Monitoring it Very Cautiously Mike Gravel
“Something Is Monitoring The Planet, And They Are Monitoring it Very Cautiously” – Mike Gravel
For more CE articles and information on the UFO/Extraterrestrial phenomenon please click HERE.
The UFO topic seems to increase in intensity year after year. With a tremendous amount of credible information now available in the public domain, well known individuals are not afraid to share their voice with the world. It seems that a number of people would like to see this information surface, at the same time there seems to be so much secrecy behind the subject that a number of people would like to see it remain hidden.
Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), and 2008 presidential candidate says that there is “an extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet. Something is monitoring the planet and they are monitoring it very cautiously.” He’s not the only one making these claims. A number of Astronauts, Professors, high ranking military and political personnel have been doing the same over the years. Official documentation released from three letter agencies, governments, and the freedom of information act are available to the public domain and back up what is being said by these people.
These comments come from Mr. Gravel after the recent “citizens hearing on disclosure.” You can find out more about that here and here.
The greatest form of ignorance is when someone rejects something they know nothing about – Wayne Dyer
Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance – Albert Einstein.
The UFO “issue” is a complex one that branches into different areas like science, history, politics, consciousness and many more . It is without a doubt one of the most important topics the human civilization has come across, ever.
No doubt that human beings have been programmed with fear when it comes to this topic, and there is a good possibility that that has been done purposely. It’s time to let go of that, there is a whole galactic community out there teeming with life.
Our planet and the beings on it are currently going through a shift. We are beginning to see through the curtain that blinds the masses in all aspects of life. Our health, food, energy and financial institutions are much more transparent, and the people of Earth are calling for change. We are recognizing that we are what needs to change, we are the ones that do not resonate with this current system and we are the ones that have the tremendous potential to create something new. Maybe some groups of extraterrestrials are watching to see if we can do it? And maybe some aren’t.

“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.” - Dr Brian O’leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor (source)
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time” Apollo 14 Astronaut (source # 1)(source # 2)
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” - Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister (source)

Habitable Exoplanets Are Bad News For Humanity
Habitable Exoplanets Are Bad News For Humanity
April 24, 2014 - Last week, scientists announced the discovery of Kepler-186f, a planet 492 light years away in the Cygnus constellation. Kepler-186f is special because it marks the first planet almost exactly the same size as Earth orbiting in the “habitable zone,” the distance from a star in which we might expect liquid water—and perhaps life.
What did not make the news, however, is that this discovery also slightly increases how much credence we give to the possibility of our own near-term extinction. This is because of a concept known as the Great Filter.
The Great Filter is an argument that attempts to resolve the Fermi Paradox: why have we not found aliens (or why have they not found us), despite the existence of hundreds of billions of exosolar systems in our galactic neighborhood in which life might evolve? As the namesake physicist Enrico Fermi noted, it seems rather extraordinary that not a single extraterrestrial signal or engineering project has been detected (UFO conspiracy theorists notwithstanding).
This apparent absence of thriving extraterrestrial civilizations suggests that at least one of the steps from humble planet to interstellar civilization is exceedingly unlikely. The absence could be because intelligent life is extremely rare, or because intelligent life has a tendency to go extinct. This bottleneck for the emergence of alien civilizations from any one of those billions of planets is referred to as the Great Filter.
Are we alone?
What exactly is causing this bottleneck has been the subject of debate for more than 50 years. Explanations could include a paucity of Earth-like planets or self-replicating molecules. Other possibilities could be an improbable jump from simple prokaryotic life (cells without specialized parts) to more complex eukaryotic life—after all, this transition took well over a billion years on Earth.
Proponents of this “Rare Earth” hypothesis also argue that the evolution of complex life requires an exceedingly large number of perfect conditions. In addition to Earth being in the habitable zone of the Sun, our star must be far enough away from the galactic center to avoid destructive radiation, our gas giants must be massive enough to sweep asteroids from Earth’s trajectory, and our unusually large Moon stabilizes the axial tilt that gives us different seasons.
These are just a few prerequisites for complex life. The emergence of symbolic language, tools and intelligence could require other such “perfect conditions” as well.
Or is the filter ahead of us?
While the emergence of intelligent life could be rare, the silence could also be the result of intelligent life emerging frequently but subsequently failing to survive for long. Might every sufficiently advanced civilization stumble across a suicidal technology or settle into an unsustainable trajectory? We know that a Great Filter prevents the emergence of prosperous interstellar civilizations, but we don’t know whether or not we already cleared it in humanity’s past or if it awaits us in the future.
For 200,000 years, humanity has survived supervolcanoes, asteroid impacts, and naturally occurring pandemics. But our track record of survival is limited to just a few decades in the presence of nuclear weaponry. And we have no track record at all of surviving many of the radically novel technologies that are likely to arrive this century.
Esteemed scientists such as Astronomer Royal Martin Rees at the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk point to advances in biotechnology as being potentially catastrophic. Others, such as Stephen Hawking, Max Tegmark, and Stuart Russell, also with the Cambridge Centre, have expressed serious concern about the exotic but understudied possibility of machine superintelligence.
Let’s hope Kepler-186f is barren
When the Fermi Paradox was initially proposed, it was thought that planets themselves were rare. Since then, however, the tools of astronomy have revealed the existence of hundreds of exoplanets. That seems to be just the tip of the iceberg.
But each new discovery of an Earth-like planet in the habitable zone, such as Kepler-186f, makes it less plausible that there are simply no planets aside from Earth that might support life. The Great Filter is thus more likely to be lurking in the path between habitable planet and flourishing civilization.
If Kepler-186f is teeming with intelligent life, then that would be really bad news for humanity because it would push back the Great Filter’s position further into the technological stages of a civilization’s development. This would imply that catastrophe awaits both us and our extraterrestrial companions.
In the case of Kepler-186f, we still have many reasons to think intelligent life might not emerge. The atmosphere might be too thin to prevent freezing or the planet might be tidally locked, causing a relatively static environment. Discovery of these hostile conditions should be cause for celebration. As philosopher Nick Bostrom once said:
The silence of the night sky is golden… in the search for extraterrestrial life, no news is good news. It promises a potentially great future for humanity.
