UFOs filmed by the production crew. (Credit: Colour In Your Life)
An Australian television production crew unknowingly filmed a pair of UFOs over the New Zealand town of Queenstown.
The crew was in New Zealand filming for the seventh season of their series titled Colour In Your Life. On April 3, 2014, Producer/Presenter Graeme Stevenson and Director Sophia Stacey were filming the opening sequence for the show. It was during this filming that two mysterious aerial objects were recorded. But these UFOs were not noticed until the edited footage was being reviewed. On Monday, May 12, Colour In Your Life issued a press release explaining the discovery:
In the past week, when editing of the episode was complete Graeme noticed something strange in a wide shot – two objects travelling from left to right of the screen at great speed. When the images were slowed to a frame by frame sequence you could see the shapes emerge from the trees and move across the sky, eventually disappearing.
Birds are a possible explanation for the UFOs as these objects seemingly emerge from the trees and move quickly through the sky. But in response to this possibility, Colour In Your Life posted to their Facebook page, “From the trees to where I was on the bike is about a half a kilometer. If you look at the speed in real time, that means that if it were birds they would have accelerated to about 4,000 kilometers an hour in one second.” Some have also suggested the possibility of military aircraft. But the crew again points to the incredible speed of the objects and the lack of nearby air bases to rule out traditional aircraft.

The Queensland, Australia newspaper Daily Mercury reports that, after seeing the UFOs in the footage, Stevenson Googled “UFO sightings” and found that a similar object was recorded on video in Holland that same week. That UFO is at the 3:25 mark in the following video:
It seems peculiar for a production company of a TV show to issue a press release, or “Media ALERT,” as they’ve titled it, about UFOs in recorded footage. Although it may seem like a marketing ploy for the show, it is possible that the production company is genuinely interested in identifying the mysterious aerial objects they captured on film.
What do you think these two fast-moving objects are? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment below, or by posting on the Open Minds Facebook page.
“This is like what my friend and I seen 1963. We were 15 & a light floating in the air that looked like this one followed us down the street late one night, stopping when we did. We thought someone was shining a torch onto the fences, then both simultaneously noticed it move towards us in mid air. We then ran for our lives, thinking it was a ghost coming from a nearby cemetery. I recently read a book titled Ztingar that has been the most amazing and logical explanation to UFOs I've ever read.”
A slightly more extravagant explanation states…
“I see up to 12 of these a day in Shrewsbury UK, you can call them, they respond to telepathic communication.They generally appear at night in order to evade detection by a paranoid and largely hostile military. They are probes sent out from ET mother-ships, and are here simply to catalogue the state of the biosphere-earth and even to monitir human emotions, as well as behaviour.”
According information the Russians have known about alien civilizations for several decades, to many this comes as no surprise, there have been rumors floating around for many years. The first Russian contact with grey aliens allegedly took place in 1942. At that time, a series of diplomatic visits to discuss matters of mutual concern were planned, according to alleged Russian documents and a treaty was made.
According to the document 072 / E, at the meeting of 1961 there was an incident involving 3 subjects due to the violation of the agreement by the officers at the military base when they discovered that their arrival was filmed with a hidden device without their consent.
Under the treaty 23/04, the meetings would be confidential and filming or taking photographs would not be allowed.
In 1969 in the state of Sverdlovsky, a UFO was reported to have crashed. It is alleged that a UFO crashed, and was recovered by the Russian military. Videofilm is shown of the recovery, with close-ups of the UFO itself. There was one dead alien found in the craft. The remains of the alien and the UFO debris was taken to a secure Russian site, where the saucer was analyzed, and an autopsy was done on the alien.
Photo of the crashed craft that brought the small alien to Russia. The reputed event was broadcast on a TNT special, “The SecretUFO Files of the KGB.” The show was hosted by former James Bond movie star Roger Moore.
Compelling video and photographic evidence were shown to support the event.
According to Pravda, the KGB has allegedly had a special unit designed to gather and monitor all pieces of information regarding mystical and unexplained phenomena reported inside and outside the Soviet Union.
Also according to Pravda, a photocopy of the order shown in the TNT documentary by the Soviet defense minister looks authentic too. Pursuant to the order, General A. G. Ponomarnko, head commander of the Urals military district, was to ensure that KGB agents be involved in the work pertaining to the UFO at all stages. The agents’ reports were promptly forwarded to Colonel A. I. Grigoriev, chief of the KGB scientific department.
According Billy J Booth on About.com there are unsubstantiated reports that a UFO crashed or was shot down near the city of Prohlandnyi, in the USSR at on August 10, 1989. Soviet military radar tracked an unidentified flying object and the Russian attempted unsuccessfully to contact the craft.. The UFO was classified as “hostile.” Soviet defenses were alerted, and MIG-25s flew to find and identify the UFO.
There was obvious damage to the exterior of the craft. The retrieval team, wearing protective outer wear, moved to the site. There was a small amount of radiation, and some members of the team were effected.
A helicopter on the scene was hooked up to the craft, and the UFO was transported to Mozdok Air Base.
Russians entered the the UFO and discovered three alien bodies-two dead, one barely alive.
A team of doctors and other medical personnel made every effort to keep the alien alive, but failed. All three of the beings were about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall, with gray outer wear. Underneath, their skin was a blue-green color with a reptilian texture. They had no hair, large black eyes covered with a protective lid, and web fingers ended their long, slender arms. The alien bodies were being kept in glass containers and UFO was taken to Kapustin Yar. This information was first reported by three Russian investigators-Anton Anfalov, Lenura Azizova and Alexander Mosolov who had no documentation to support their story.
On March 25, 1948 a UFO spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin crashed in a place called Aztec, New Mexico. Sixteen alien bodies were discovered dead inside. The alien bodies and all evidence of their spacecraft were soon transported by government officials to Wright Patterson Air force Base where all traces of this event disappeared in secrecy.

Cattle Mutilations: Strange find in General Acha Gives Rise to Mystery (Argentina)
*** Dead animal found on farm, missing tongue and part of jaw ***
The images are very strange and no veterinary surgeon has voiced an opinion as of yet, but concern among residents of General Acha manifested itself a posting to the citizen journalism portal of TN.com.ar.
Photographs published in TN y la Gente show a dead bovine with unexplained injuries. Descriptions explain that the animal is missing its tongue, also part of its jaw, and has a large hole on its back, near its rump. According to the user who shared the material, the find occurred three days ago on a friend's farm, who was also unable to find an explanation.
“What happened to this animal? Does it have to do with the Chupacabras, or do you think it was merely eaten away by vermin and there is no mystery here? Examine the content and give us your opinion”, asks the web site.
Another strange discovery created intrigue and fear in Leubucó back in December. According to the Veradia.com web site, a creature tried to attack a man in the vicinity of a mill, but the man killed it by striking it on the head in self-defense.
The farmhand decided to conceal the remains of the strange entity until his brother found its bones, making them available to professionals for their analysis. “Something like two wings protruded from its torso. Its ears were at the level of its jaw and it had fur,” described the man, who did not want to disclose his identity. He added the animal was at least 60 centimeters tall.

The need for pilots to be aware of and informed about the impact of UAP’s (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and how they and their passenger’s safety could be affected is of paramount importance. Without this information many commercial and military aviators have been left to the fate of unpreparedness and ignorance thanks to the intentional denial of our government officials.
The fog of time
History teaches us that an impressive array of unknown airborne encounters with crafts from another realm that have caused consternation among aviators asking why weren’t they told or, better yet, why were they warned not to go public with their experiences by their commanders or employers has left many to ask whose side are the powers that be on? Well, definitely not the side of the pilots, I would personally observe.
Aviators of many eras witness the unknown
An amazing exhibition of experiences has engaged jet fighter pilots, World War II aviators, commercial airline Captains, and even private plane flyers who have inadvertently trespassed into the realm of the unknown and managed to come back alive in order to tell about it. Below, we will explore many of the well documented cases of air to air encounters with something that to this day defies logical explanation and has been defined as everything from demonic activity to the technology of distant alien civilizations from other regions of this vast universe.
Through the past darkly
As early as 1916, according to NARCAP advisor D.F. Weinstein, what can be described as a UAP made its appearance to a British pilot near Rochford, having little technical vocabulary for such an early encounter, the pilot described the object as having a row of lights on a railway carriage that rose into the air and flew off. An amazing observation for the time!
Late September 1926 a DH-4 mail pilot made a staggering sighting and was forced to land after encountering a huge wingless cylindrical object. He must have been quite shocked and had decided to land his aircraft in the wake of such a bewildering encounter.
January 1st 1937 an American flyer spots a gondola shaped aerial anomaly that is gun metal colored near the Virginia and North Carolina border.
In the summer of 1942 at approximately 1750 hours an RAF pilot encounters a strange bronze colored airborne object that resembles are a single airfoil over the Tasmanian Peninsula in Australia.
September 9, 1942 a RAF pilot in his Hurricane fighter plane is harassed by two fast moving lights that ascend from ground level and chase his aircraft and then turn away. Were they German ME-109’s or unknown hardware from another realm? Incident reported over Somme Estuary in France.
1943, night mission, over the Atlantic Ocean, a US Navy PBY-25 crew of eight are host to an unknown orange self-luminous flying object that flies in formation along with them.
It is clear from the few accounts given of UAP case files in the early era of man’s mastery of flight that the frequency of aerial encounters began to quickly increase during World War II. Was someone watching us and evaluating our defensive capabilities at the time? Someone not of this earth, I might add.
In the midst of a global conflict between the Axis powers and the Allies, it seems that a world wide effort at observation was being made by UAP’s in a variety of colors and shapes according to accounts given by aviators of the time. June of 1944 an RAF pilot and his radar officer of a Beaufighter 600th Squadron found to their dismay that they could not shake a bright light that pursued them despite evasive maneuvers southwest of Florence, Italy.
In Northeastern Italy June of 1944 a formation of three P-38’s Lightnings flown by 3 pilots found themselves accompanied by a round silver disk at 50,000 feet that stayed with them for three minutes.
With numerous contacts made by USAA pilots in B-17 and B-24 bombers over the North Sea, Atlantic, and in the Pacific over Iwo Jima and Truk Atoll, Tokyo Bay in Japan seems to have been a hot spot that remained so even through the Korean War years later as reported by Captain Ed Ruppelt Captain USAF Project Blue Book Director until 1953. This fact he detailed in his book “The Report on UFO’s” in 1956.
Over Namazu, Japan in 1949 several incidents occurred involving the B-29 Superfortress that was used to drop numerous atomic bombs over such targets as Nagasaki and Hiroshima as well as over many nuclear test sites in years to come. The pilots were unable to take evasive maneuvers in order to evade UAP’s that pursued them.
As military aviators all over the world as well as the continental US experienced the presence of UAP’s following them, flying alongside them, or merely crossing their aerial paths it is interesting to note that the American public was not made aware of this until Kenneth Arnold’s sighting over Washington State near Mt. Shasta in 1947. This event officially catapulted the flying saucer into a household term and sensationalized an enigma that many pilots had already experienced in the skies above the nations of the world.
In the years to follow after 1945, it seems that the situation of encounters between military pilots and UAP’s intensified and in the years of 1948 (Mantell Incident) 1952 (Nationwide UFO flap & Washington National Sightings) and 1953 Lieutenant Felix Moncla and his radar officer disappear in their F-89 Scorpion Interceptor over Lake Superior) 1954 (Walesville Tragedy as jet fighter crashes into a small town and kills family of 4) and in 1956 (US Navy issues orders to shoot down UFO’s to its fighter pilots). As the US Air Force and federal government clamped down even tighter on the lid of denial and secrecy even threatening military bases who reported UFO’s to face possible prosecution for doing so.
The persistence of an enigma
In view of more modern encounters between air forces of the world along with civilian airline jets, it seems that the current complexion that exists is far from being clarified or explanatory as numerous encounters have resulted in more near misses, instrument failures aboard interceptor aircraft (Tehran, Iran 1976 with F-4 Phantom), and near catastrophic mid-air collisions with jet airliners and their passengers (incident over Texas Panhandle). No doubt the phenomenon still persists with the same inexplicable legacy that haunts us today just as it did decades ago as the armed services struggled with their responsibility to protect our skies above while juggling the difficult mission of maintaining secrecy and national defense simultaneously.
We will ever know?
It is clear that no immediate answers will be forthcoming even in our advanced technical state and ever present cell phone cameras along with miniaturized high definition camcorders easily carried by everyday people. Perhaps we are not meant to know the final truth in view of the enduring mystery.

Incredible archive of worldwide military UFO reports that predate the flying saucer era.
Scientists have succeeded in creating the first organism with “alien” DNA. In normal DNA, which can be found within the genes of every organism , the twin strands of the double helix are bonded together with four bases, known as T, G, A, and C. In this new organism, the researchers added two new bases, X and Y, creating a new form of DNA that (as far as we know) has never occurred after billions of years of evolution on Earth or elsewhere in the universe. Remarkably, the semi-synthetic alien organism continued to reproduce normally, preserving the new alien DNA during reproduction. In the future, this breakthrough should allow for the creation of highly customized organisms — bacteria, animals, humans — that behave in weird and wonderful ways that mundane four-base DNA would never allow.
This landmark study, 15 years in the making, was carried out by scientists at the Scripps Research Institute and published in Nature today [doi:10.1038/nature13314 - "A semi-synthetic organism with an expanded genetic alphabet"]. In normal DNA, two separate strands are entwined in a double helix. These strands are connected together via four different bases, adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). A always bonds with T, and C always bonds with G, creating a fairly simple “language” of base pairs — ATCGAAATGCC, etc. Combine a few dozen base pairs together in a long strand of DNA and you then have a gene, which tells the organism how to produce a certain protein. If you know the sequence of letters down one strand of the helix, you always know what other letter is. This “complementarity” is the fundamental reason why a DNA helix can be split down the middle, and then have the other half perfectly recreated. There, I just explained in about 150 words two of the most vital processes to all life that we know of.
In this new study, the Scripps scientists found a method of inserting a new base pair into the DNA of an e. coli bacterium. These two new bases are represented by the letters X and Y, but the actual chemicals are the rather cryptic “d5SICS” and “dNaM.” A previous in vitro (test tube) study had shown that these two chemicals were compatible with the enzymes that split and copy DNA. “We didn’t even think back then that we could move into an organism with this base pair,” said Denis Malyshev, first author of the paper. Fortunately, he was wrong.
The full Nature write-up is worth reading if you want the nitty-gritty details, but here’s the short version. First, the scientists genetically engineered an e. coli bacterium to allow the new chemicals (d5SICS and dNaM) through the cell membrane. Then they inserted a DNA plasmid (a small loop of DNA) that contained a single XY base pair into the bacterium. As long as the new chemicals were available, the bacterium continued to reproduce normally, copying and passing on the new DNA, alien plasmid and all. In the study, this process seems to have carried on flawlessly for almost a week.
Synthetic DNA, with a new XY base pair
For now, the XY base pair does nothing; it just sits there in the DNA, waiting to be copied. In this form, it could be used as biological data storage — which, as we’ve covered previously, could result in hundreds of terabytes of data being stored in a single gram of synthetic, alien DNA. Floyd Romesberg, who led the research, has much grander plans. “If you read a book that was written with four letters, you’re not going to be able to tell many interesting stories,” Romesberg says. “If you’re given more letters, you can invent new words, you can find new ways to use those words and you can probably tell more interesting stories.”
Now his target is to find a way of getting the alien DNA to actually do something, such as producing amino acids (and thus proteins) that aren’t found in nature. If Romesberg and co. can crack that nut, then it will suddenly become possible to engineer cells that produce proteins that target cancer cells, or special amino acids that help with fluorescent microscopy, or new drugs/gene therapies that do weird and wonderful things. (Read: What is transhumanism, or, what does it mean to be human?)
Ultimately it may even be possible to create a wholly synthetic organism with DNA that contains dozens (or hundreds) of different base pairs that can produce an almost infinitely complex library of amino acids and proteins. At that point, we’d basically be rewriting some four billion years of evolution. The organisms and creatures that would arise would be unrecognizable, and be capable of… well, just about anything that a white-coat wearing maniac can dream up.
That sound you just heard, that faint death rattle? That was journalism's last dying breath. Yup, the centuries old craft of reporting news finally kicked the f**king bucket!
And, before you starting pointing any fingers, also us to direct your attention to this:
CNN has been caught red handed.
You know the enigma surrounding the missing Malaysian airplane? Those scruple-free newsmen and women have been milking that mystery for two months, but their 24/7 tragedy coverage might have finally just crossed the line!
In a "scientific" poll they conducted, the cable news network asked fans and followers whether they thought Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was… wait for it… wait for it… abducted by space aliens, time travelers, or perhaps even beings from another dimension!!!
What!? SERIOUSLY!
In case you were wondering, 9% of those who responded to the asinine inquiry said it was likely that the aliens/time travelers/inter-dimensional beings played a part in the plane's disappearance. See the pic (below)!
Ugh! How disconcerting!
The real story, though, is how low CNN sank to indulge any wackadoo theory that might be good for TV ratings or internet clicks!!
We expected better from you!!! What happened to raising the bar on public discourse?
Byzantijnse tablet-PC gevonden tijdens opgravingen
Byzantijnse ‘tablet-PC’ gevonden tijdens opgravingen
Archeologen hebben tijdens opgravingen in Yenikapı, een wijk in Istanboel, een houten doos gevonden in een gezonken schip. Het voorwerp uit de Byzantijnse tijd wordt gezien als het antieke equivalent van een moderne tablet-PC. Tijdens de opgravingen ontdekten archeologen ook dat mensen in de oudheid paarden en ezels aten.
De Universiteit van Istanboel wil het gezonken schip, dat Yenikapı 12 is gedoopt, weer laten varen. Onderzoekers hopen het schip halverwege volgend jaar weer zeewaardig te hebben gemaakt. Professor Ufuk Kocabaş zei dat in het gebied, dat in het Byzantijnse Rijk bekend stond als de haven van Theodosius, organische resten zijn gevonden. Ongeveer 60 procent van het gezonken schip is goed bewaard gebleven.
Wonder van Yenikapı
Aan de hand van amfora’s, kruiken met twee oren die onderaan uitlopen in een punt, aan boord van het schip kunnen de archeologen zeggen dat het schip op weg was naar de Zwarte Zee. Ze schatten dat het dateert van de negende eeuw en handelswaar vervoerde naar de Krim.
De onderzoekers stuitten op zeer interessante voorwerpen die eigendom waren van de kapitein en de bemanning. De vondst wordt ook wel ‘het wonder van Yenikapı’ genoemd. “In één van de schepen vonden we iets wat lijkt op een moderne tablet-PC,” zei Kocabaş. Het rechthoekige voorwerp opent als een laptop en onder een schuifklep liggen kleine panelen waar notities op werden geschreven met behulp van was. Eén van de lagen van het blok bevat kleine ruimtes waarin gewichten konden worden geplaatst voor een goudschaal, een zeer gevoelige balans.
Tot enkele jaren geleden werd gedacht dat nederzettingen rond Istanboel dateren van 2700 jaar geleden, toen Griekse kolonisten uit de stad Mégara zich rond 675 voor Christus vestigden in Chalchedon (vandaag de dag Kadıköy geheten).
De Griekse kolonisten waren niet de eerste bewoners in het gebied. Tijdens opgravingen in Yenikapı werden nederzettingen gevonden die tenminste 8700 jaar oud zijn.
Mogelijke UFO-graancirkels gespot in Australische outback
Mogelijke UFO-graancirkels gespot in Australische outback
Buitenaardsen hebben mogelijk hun sporen achtergelaten in de Australische outback. Dat meldt de krant Northern Territory News. In Tennant Creek in het Australische Noordelijk Territorium, halverwege tussen Darwin en Alice Springs, zijn door de jaren heen diverse UFO-waarnemingen gedaan, maar nu zijn op het land onverklaarbare sporen gevonden.
Opzichter Ray Aylett denkt dat het een graancirkel betreft. “Er is geen andere verklaring,” zei hij. “De omringende grond is hard, maar in de cirkel is alles erg zacht.” Aylett ziet rond Muckaty Station, een gebied dat eigendom is van de Aboriginals en door de Australische overheid wordt gebruikt voor de opslag van kernafval, al vele jaren UFO’s, maar hij is zelf nog nooit bezocht.
De dinsdag na Pasen zag Aylett in het gebied naar eigen zeggen een soort rechthoekige wolken in de lucht. Het gebied was getroffen door zware regenval, waardoor de weg naar het afgelegen stuk land onbegaanbaar was geworden. Toen al het water weer was verdwenen, werd plotseling de vreemde vorm zichtbaar.
Toen Aylett op 7 april de weg aan het egaliseren was, ontdekte hij de graancirkel. Hij verkende het gebied met een helikopter, maar kon maar één formatie vinden. Aylett weet niet zeker of buitenaardsen contact proberen te maken, maar iedere keer als hij UFO’s ziet zwaait hij met zijn zaklamp.
We travelled from Paracas to the see the famous Nazca lines. These enigmatic lines are set in some of the most inhospitable and stark terrain I have ever seen. The folks on the tour went up in small 6 seater, Cesena’s and saw the lines from the air. There are glyphs of a hummingbird, a whale, spider and other figures which are drawn on the ground and only seen from the air. There are also straight lines that travel for miles on the floor of this vast plateau.
However, I want to focus on another subject and that is the picture here. It is the remains of a mummy that was displayed in a small, private museum very close to the airport in Nazca. Sr. Felix, who is a Shaman, is the curator of the museum. He met us in full Inca garb and gave us a tour of his museum.
Here is Sr. Felix!
What fascinated me and drew my attention was the color of the hair of this small child, it was strawberry-blond.
I had a chance to ask Sr Felix a series of questions. This is important to my research as talking to the local people one often hears the oral tradition, stories which have been handed down through the centuries from father to son, from grandfather to grandson, and such was the case here. These stories can give us clues and I always listen intently and with great interest when these stories are presented.
Sr. Felix told us that the Paracas people sailed from the Middle East! He also told us of a story told to him by an old man of a baby born with an elongated skull. While this is not “scientific” evidence, as only the DNA testing will establish where these people were from, it does lend credence to my hypotheses that the Paracas-elongated-skull-people may have been part of a Nephilim tribe.
Here is a close up of the hair color and you can judge for yourself.
It’s one thing to read about these sites, it’s another to actually go and see for one’s self what the artifacts look like.
Why would Sr, Felix tell us the Paracas people came from the Middle East? He has no dog in the hunt in regard to my hypothesis.
Being on the Trail requires the gathering of information to see if my hypothesis—that the Nephilim tribes were scattered during the conquest of Cannan in a Diaspora and settled in the New World—is true. What we saw in Nazca provides us with clues that help validate this.
More to follow! All of this will be in my forthcoming book: On the Trail of the Nephilim II!

On the 24th day of April 1950, 42 year old factory worker Bruno Facchini was working the late shift, and stepped outside to get some fresh air on his break. His home city of Varese in Italy had just had a severe thunderstorm. The last distant streaks of lightning were still visible as Bruno decided to see if the electrical system had popped a circuit breaker…. He was taken completely aback at what he saw not far from the factory doors. Investigating a bright glowing light which he thought was part of a factory transformer problem, he was shocked to see a circular shaped, glowing object with a ladder descended from its bottom. At the top of the UFO was a greenish glow which partially obscured a light-skinned being. The unusual being appeared to be welding something on the craft. Bruno’s first impression of the craft was that it was a type of experimental craft from a nearby air base. His impression was quickly altered by the sight of several other small alien creatures which emerged from the craft. In a moment or two, the ladder began to be drawn up into the mysterious craft, and the beings began to re-enter the craft through an invisible door of some kind. The full realisation of what he was witnessing sent Bruno into a full run away from the frightening encounter. As he fled, he heard a sound like that of a large beehive. One of the remaining creatures pointed a type of weapon at the scared worker, and a beam of force knocked him to the ground. Although in pain, he was able to watch the last activities of the strange aliens as they prepared the craft to take off. The beehive like sound increased as the object made its way into the skies and vanished from view. The next day, Bruno made a full report of his encounter to the police force. There were signs still visible of the activities of the night before. Police found burned patches on the ground, and indentation marks of an extremely heavy object. Also found were some odd, green pieces of a metal-like substance. Bruno recounted the welding operation, and suggested that the green pieces of debris were refuse of the process. The fragments were analysed. The results of this test concluded that the fragments were an “anti-friction” material, containing several types of metal along with a lubricant. In September 1953, UFO investigators had their own tests conducted on the green substance. A scientific institute specializing in metallurgy assessed that the fragments were 74% copper, 19% tin, and other trace elements. The substance, under heavy magnification was a yellow-white colour, but did not contain any metals which could not be found on Earth. These conclusions did not entirely rule out the possibility of an extraterrestrial connection in the case of Bruno Facchini. There is no way to conclude that the metal composition could not be made on another planet. Facchini’s accept was taken very seriously by all who knew him. He was a respectable man, well liked, and considered to be reliable and trustworthy. He gained nothing from his tale of the strange object and occupants he described on the night of April 24, 1950.
A remarkable case of alien abduction with missing time comes from Wales. Multiple sightings of UFOs on one night, preceded by several nights of unusual light beams reported over the Great Orme are related to us by well known investigator Margaret Fry. The events of November 10, 1997 center on one unfortunate family who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. For a brie…f period of time, they entered an unknown realm of other worldly beings. The family was driving along on the Bodfair / Landernog road when all of a sudden their car was engulfed by purple…a purple craft seemed to join itself to their automobile. The next clear memory any of the family had was that the craft was suddenly gone… like it just disappeared into thin air. The family was again driving down the road, resuming their journey except for the feeling of the loss of time. “But they could not account for considerable hours of time lost,” said Fry. “The male was having trouble afterwards with a top molar tooth and he had to go to the dentist’s… and a black unknown object fell out while he was at the dentist’s – but he had no fillings,” she said. Shortly afterward, the male driver of the car reported the strange happenings to local authorities. Soon he was visited on two different occasions by Air Force personnel. They warned the man to never speak of the events of November 10, 1997 publicly. These visits are very similar to tales in America of the infamous “men in black.” The strange purple craft and missing time experienced by the family was told only to a friend, who in turn related the event to investigator Fry. The names of the individuals involved remain anonymous. The case of the alleged abduction is extremely interesting in the light of the reports of the strange light beams and another eerie encounter of the same night. A local business man would corroborate the two other sightings with a bizarre report of his own. The man claimed to see a strange craft on the same road as the abducted family’s encounter took place. He described the craft as enormous, and the shape of a “child’s spinning top.” He was able to draw a sketch of what he observed that night, while stopping to look at a UFO as big as a football field. The UFO, a classic saucer shaped object, was seen hovering over buildings in the village of Llandernog. He claimed that the large craft had a “myriad of lit windows, “and was large enough to be a mother ship capable of transporting hundreds of people.
What was this enormous ship seen that night, except a visitor from another world? The case has never been explained by any earthly object or conventional means, and remains a mystery to this day. http://www.ufocasebook.com/abductioninwales.html

5-year old Gladys was going out to the yard to collect the portable toilets from the outhouse to clean them. It was already getting dark. Coming out of the outhouse she heard a strange sound which made her look towards the north of the house, and there she saw descending from the roof of the house a bizarre figure. Once in the yard the figure moved with extremely long strides as if walking on stilts. The figure was very tall and was wearing what appeared to be a black hooded outfit with a black cape. Terrified she watched the figure walked towards a nearby exit from the yard. She was able to see its facial features in profile; it had a large face, with eyes, noses and mouth, with a ‘diabolic’ countenance. She could not see its ears since they were apparently covered by the hood. Upon arriving to the wall it lifted its arm and took a tremendous leap jumping over the wall and out into the street. Noticing that Gladys had taken longer than usual her father ran out and found her in a state of shock, unable to speak and purple in color.

The combined Cassini–Huygens spacecraft was launched from Earth on October 15, 1997. Huygens separated from the Cassini orbiter on December 25, 2004, and landed on Titan on January 14, 2005 near the Xanadu region.
Huygens was an atmospheric entry probe that landed successfully on Saturn’s moon Titan in 2005. Built and operated by the European Space Agency(ESA), it was part of the Cassini–Huygens mission and became the first spacecraft ever to land on Titan. The probe was named after the Dutch 17th-century astronomer Christiaan Huygens.
Waring says, “I was looking through Saturn photos when I came across one that had the landing area of the Cassini-Huygen site. I knew any landing site had to have something of high significance for NASA to send a probe and land there, then take off again. The site photo had a close up view and in it I found two structures, each with a lot of right angles. The structure in the above photo looks to be 3-4 floors high and I say this because it has depth to it. The shadows reveal three layers, one on top of the next.”

This was the first landing ever accomplished in the outer solar system. It touched down on land, although the possibility that it would touch down in an ocean was also taken into account in its design. The probe was designed to gather data for a few hours in the atmosphere, and possibly a short time at the surface. It continued to send data for about 90 minutes after touchdown. It remains the most distant landing of any man-made craft.
“The project to land Cassini on Titan was NASA and ESA working together…so the European Space Agency also knows about the buildings. Makes you wonder how many countries know about the existence of aliens,” says Scott Waring, author of UFO Sightings Daily.
The first image released, taken from an altitude of 16 km, showing what are speculated to be drainage channels flowing to a possible shoreline. The darker areas are flat plains, while the lighter areas represent high ground.
In situ image of Titan’s surface from Huygens—the only images from a planetary surface beyond Mars and Venus (Left and right images have different image processing)
Early imaging of Titan from the Cassini mission was consistent with the presence of large bodies of liquid on the surface. The photos showed what appeared to be large drainage channels crossing the lighter colored mainland into a dark sea. Some of the photos suggested islands and mist shrouded coastline. On January 18 it was reported that Huygens landed in “Titanian mud”, and the landing site was estimated to lie within the white circle on the picture to the left. Mission scientists also reported a first “descent profile”, which describes the trajectory the probe took during its descent.
Subsequent work done on the probe’s trajectory indicated that, in fact, it landed within the dark ‘sea’ region in the photos. Photos of a dry landscape from the surface suggested that while there was evidence of liquid acting on the surface recently, hydrocarbon lakes and/or seas might not currently exist at the Huygens landing site. Further data from the Cassini Mission, however, definitely confirmed the existence of permanent liquid hydrocarbon lakes in the polar regions of Titan (see Lakes of Titan). Long-standing tropical hydrocarbon lakes were also discovered in 2012 (including one not far from the Huygens landing site in the Shangri-La region which is about half the size of Utah’s Great Salt Lake, with a depth of at least 1 meter). The likely supplier in dry desert areas is probably underground aquifers, in other words the arid equatorial regions of Titan contain “oases”.
At the landing site there were indications of chunks of water ice scattered over an orange surface, the majority of which is covered by a thin haze of methane. The instruments revealed “a dense cloud or thick haze approximately 18-20 kilometers from the surface”. The surface itself was reported to be a clay-like “material which might have a thin crust followed by a region of relative uniform consistency.” One ESA scientist compared the texture and color of Titan’s surface to a crème brûlée, but admitted this term probably would not appear in the published papers.
Elfen zijn veelvuldig te vinden in de Scandinavische folklore, samen met trollen en andere mythologische figuren. Ragnhildur Jónsdóttir uit IJsland wil de elfen redden. Sinds haar jeugd is ze in staat om elfen te zien en met ze te spreken. Dat schrijft The Daily Beast.
Jónsdóttir kijkt uit over de Elfentuin, net buiten Reykjavik, waar ze met haar beste vriendin Pulta, een elfenvrouw, rondleidingen geeft langs de huizen van het huldufólk (verborgen volk).
Afgelopen december werd Jónsdóttir samen met 25 anderen gearresteerd toen ze demonstreerde tegen de aanleg van een nieuwe snelweg door een lavaveld. De weg, die dwars door het schiereiland Alftanes tot aan een buitenwijk van Reykjavik moet lopen, zou de natuurlijke habitat van de elfen verstoren. De regio blijkt vooral belangrijk omdat er een elfenkerk gelegen zou zijn.
Jónsdóttir en haar vrienden van ‘Friends of Lava’ wisten de autoriteiten ervan te overtuigen de aanleg van de snelweg stil te leggen. Ze versperden bulldozers de weg en hebben regelmatig betoogd. Later deze maand laat de overheid Ófeigskirkja (de elfenkerk) verplaatsen, zodat hij kan blijven bestaan en het project kan worden hervat.
Een peiling uit 2007 liet zien dat 54 procent van de IJslanders het bestaan van elfen niet ontkend. Slechts 8 procent zei ook daadwerkelijk in elfen te geloven. In 2009 schreef Vanity Fair dat het aluminiumbedrijf Alcoa pas een fabriek in het land kon bouwen nadat de overheid het gebied had laten onderzoeken op de aanwezigheid van elfen.
In 2010 raakte het IJslandse parlementslid Árni Johnsen betrokken bij een zwaar auto-ongeluk. Hij vermoedde dat de elfen die in een nabijgelegen rots leefden zijn leven hadden gered. Toen er later een weg werd gepland in het gebied liet hij de steen naar een veilige locatie overbrengen; zijn eigen tuin.
Jónsdóttir citeerde zelf een studie uit 2011 door de Universiteit van IJsland, waaruit blijkt dat 37 procent van de IJslanders zegt dat elfen mogelijk bestaan. “Het is onmogelijk dat 37 procent van de bevolking gek is!” zei ze.
Waarom kan zij elfen zien en anderen niet? “We zijn allemaal goed in verschillende dingen,” zei Jónsdóttir. “Sommige mensen kunnen zingen, dansen of huizen bouwen. En sommigen zien elfen. We zijn allemaal verschillend.”
“Als je naar de kerk gaat zie je God, Jezus, Mohammed of Boeddha niet,” ging ze verder. “En je ziet liefde ook niet. Toch geloven de meesten van ons in liefde. En als je angstig bent voel je fysieke pijn. Het is echter een gevoel, je kunt het niet zien.”
In this video submitted by an airplane pilot, a “disk” shaped object crosses the airplanes path as it was about to land. The object moves at high speed in front of the airplane. Also a lightning bolt appears to hit the UFO as it is exiting the frame. What are your thoughts on this one?
