Insider Lt. Col.: Massive Disclosure Coming Soon! Aliens Run The Govt.!
Insider Lt. Col.: Massive Disclosure Coming Soon! Aliens Run The Govt.!
According to this video just released by DarkSkyWatcher74, an alleged ‘insider’ who happens to be a Lieutenant Colonelwarns herein that ‘massive disclosure’ is coming soon and ‘aliens run the US government’. Talk of reptilians and ‘inner Earth’ abound in this video interview.
Is the information that you hear here REAL or just the figment of someone’s wild imagination? Is this a set-up for ‘Project Blue Beam’ or ‘legit information’ on par with recent comments made by Bill Clinton? Or, was Clinton just setting us up for Blue Beam as well?
De theorie dat de maan is ontstaan na een botsing van de aarde met het hemellichaam Theia, ongeveer 4,5 miljard jaar geleden, wint aan kracht na nieuw onderzoek van de maanstenen die werden verzameld tijdens Apollo-missies. Dat staat in een studie van Duitse wetenschappers die werd gepubliceerd in het Amerikaanse tijdschrift Science.
De theorie over het ontstaan van de maan na een botsing wordt al jaren bijna algemeen aanvaard. Het is de eenvoudigste verklaring en ze past in alle computermodellen. Een zwakke plek in de theorie was dat er tot nu toe geen sporen waren gevonden van Theia in de Apollo-maanstenen, terwijl volgens computermodellen de maan voor een groot deel uit Theia-resten zou moeten bestaan.
Een nieuwe chemische analyse van de maanstenen heeft nu toch die bewijzen opgeleverd, zeggen de Duitse wetenschappers. Bij de analyse werden verschillen ontdekt tussen de zuurstofisotopen op aarde en in de maanstenen, wat erop wijst dat er wel degelijk sporen van Theia zijn te vinden in de maanstenen.
"De verschillen zijn klein en moeilijk op te sporen, maar ze zijn er wel degelijk", zegt hoofdonderzoeker Daniel Herwartz van de universiteit van Göttingen. "Dat betekent twee dingen: dat we nu vrijwel zeker kunnen zijn dat de botsing wel degelijk heeft plaatsgevonden, en dat we ons nu een idee kunnen vormen van de geochemische samenstelling van Theia."
Volgens Herwartz lijkt het erop dat Theia, dat de omvang zou hebben gehad van Mars, behoort tot de categorie van de chondrieten, een stenige meteoriet die het vaakst voorkomt. De wetenschapper schat dat de maan mogelijk voor de helft uit aards materiaal en voor de helft uit materiaal van Theia bestaat, maar dat moet nog worden bevestigd.
SPHERE, een nieuw instrument op de Very Large Telescope (VLT) van de ESO-sterrenwacht op Paranal in Chili, heeft zijn 'eerste licht'-opname gemaakt. De 'Lord of the Rings'-fans onder de wetenschappers moeten hun hart een slag hebben voelen overslaan toen de stofring rond de ster HR 4796A zichzelf leek te ontmaskeren als het 'Oog van Sauron'.
'Eerste licht', dat is altijd iets speciaals voor telescopen en andere astronomische instrumenten. Hoewel het niet altijd van de grootste wetenschappelijke waarde is, is het een soort 'inwijdingsritueel'. Meestal wordt daarvoor een bekend hemelobject gekozen.
Ook het Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch instrument (SPHERE) moest zo zijn eerste licht krijgen. SPHERE is een krachtig nieuw instrument voor het opsporen en onderzoeken van exoplaneten. Dat is een bijzonder moeilijke opdracht, omdat zulke planeten zich vanaf de aarde gezien heel dicht bij hun moederster bevinden en heel weinig licht geven. Op een normale opname gaat de zwakke gloed van de planeet helemaal verloren in het licht van de ster. Daarom is het hele ontwerp van SPHERE erop gericht om een zo hoog mogelijk contrast te bereiken in het kleine stukje hemel rond de verblindende ster.
Voor het eerste licht van SPHERE werd er gefocust op de nabije ster HR 4796A. Het resultaat is prachtig, maar ook een beetje griezelig. De stofring rond de ster zorgt namelijk voor een foto die het oog van 'Lord of the Rings'-booswicht Sauron lijkt te imiteren.
Echt origineel is HR 4796A daarmee niet, want het sterrenstelsel NGC 4151, in het sterrenbeeld Jachthonden, wordt soms bestempeld als het 'Oog van Sauron'. NGC 4151 heeft er vanaf nu wel een stevige concurrent bij.

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

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

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

Jill Tarter Explains in 30 Seconds Why We’re Searching for Aliens
Jill Tarter Explains in 30 Seconds Why We’re Searching for Aliens
After nearly four decades of of listening for for signs of life in the cosmos, astronomer Jill Tarter is one of a handful of true experts on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). And since 1995 we’ve known for certain there are other planets out there; the goal now is to find one that’s habitable.
“Exoplanets are real,” Tarter said recently, talking about how the Kepler planet-hunting mission has changed the concept of SETI. “We are now observing stars where we KNOW there are planets. We’ve gone from having 20-30 potential targets to having thousands of targets. Kepler is telling us WHERE to look, and we are focusing there.”
s ”and she gave them an answer in less than 30 seconds.
Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, is a new action-packed sci-fi film where an alien race has taken over planet Earth. We've got extraterrestrials on the brain — so in this episode of The Sync Up, we spoke to Elisa Quintana of the SETI Institute, a nonprofit organization at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, CA that studies the possibility of extraterrestrial life, to find out: Are humans alone in the universe?

UFO light recorded over Northhampton, UK on 1st June 2014
New amazing video footage of a strange UFO recorded in the daytime sky above Northhampton, UK on 1st June 2014.
Witness said: This incredible video taken by a school girl captured weird dancing lights as they floated above her house for several minutes. Little Kaie Real, 11, filmed the strange sight when she spotted it out of her bedroom window on Saturday (1/6). Mum Fiona Fearon was out at the time, but Fiona said her daughters were playing with the laptop in the bedroom when they suddenly spotted the moving object outside the window and began filming. She said: “It’s very weird. They were very excited by it. It looked like a ball of fire moving around in the sky. “It looked like it went crashing into the field and that’s the end but there was no noise.

UFO mania: Helical “Cloud” Over New Zealand Reveals Strange Aircraft
In an odd piece of video uploaded to YouTube over the weekend, what appears to be a strange “cloud” formation resembling a double-helix was filmed over Auckland, New Zealand.
Then, approximately one minute into the video, it becomes apparent that the formation was no cloud at all, but some variety of exhaust being produced by an aircraft, which slowly begins to descend as it moves away toward the horizon.
The user who uploaded the video, portiasukiotisluca, included the following comments about the incident:
Got up to look out the back window and saw this dark vertical cloud so started filming.
The cloud started to “unwind” into a helix type thing so I kept filming. 50 seconds in, an object appears out of the bulbous end of the cloud and flies down to the horizon.
Definitely no commercial flight–any ideas what it could be? How was it out of sight for that time?

PineBush – New York’s UFO Capital, that’s what people were telling back in April. They all said I should go to the Pine Bush UFO Fair. To be honest with you I had not heard of Pine Bush, New York prior to that. Then my editor mentions Pine Bush to me as well. Unfortunately by the time I got around to researching it, the one-day festival had come and gone.
The claim to fame is that Pine Bush is New York’s UFO Capital. This point is proclaimed in the book “Weird New York.”
In the days leading up to 2014 festival on April 26 the New York Post wrote a nice article stating “that the truth is out there, in it may be only a drive of the New York State Thruway to Orange County and Pine Bush to find the truth about UFOs.”
PINE BUSH – NEW YORK’S UFO CAPITAL, OR NOT
For some months now I’ve been researching UFO sighting records up and down the Hudson Valley. A number of my fans have pointed out that the Hudson Valley has been a hotbed for UFO activity for years. Even author Whitley Strieber of “Communion” fame stated this in one of his books while he doing research about UFO activity around the Middletown area.
So having been told that Pine Bush is the capital of UFO activity in New York State, I took a little bit of exception. For many months ago, in one of my November 2013, articles I stated that New York’s hotspot for UFO activity based purely on sighting numbers is New York County. If we measure sightings based on population and sighting ratio, then Suffolk County, Long Island is tops.
I decided to give both Orange County and Pine Bush the benefit of the doubt. I dug into my accumulated research and I spent many hours carefully counting UFO sightings logged with the Mutual UFO Network MUFON and with the National UFO Reporting Center NUFORC. The results of my research were rather eye-opening.
By my tally, ranging from 1891 to May 2014 based on both MUFON & NUFORC databases, Orange County has logged about 135 UFO sightings. I do wish to point out that while MUFON database allows for searching by county with summaries, the NUFORC database does not. So for purposes of fairness, all of the cities that showed up in the sighting reports in the MUFON database, I researched those same cities specifically in the NUFORC database list. I may have missed a few minor villages and towns in the Orange County, but for the most part I believe I have a fairly comprehensive count.
Pine_Bush_New_York
Using the combined databases, the score shakes out like this; Orange County is about 9th in New York State for overall UFO sightings.
As for what locality in Orange County is the hot spot, that honor belongs to the cities of Newburgh and Poughkeepsie. The two cities are tied for first place with 23 sightings each. Middletown has second place at 16 sightings and tied for third place are the towns of Monroe and Pine Bush with 10 sightings each. The remaining 53 sightings are divvied up among 25 other towns, villages and whistle stops in Orange County.
In all fairness to Pine Bush, there was a couple of sighting events that have been reported as being seen by “thousands of people.” For my accounting purposes, if it wasn’t logged in the database, I couldn’t count it.
In conclusion, I agree that Orange County is a hotbed for UFO activity in the Hudson Valley but based on national UFO data bases it is not the Capital for New York State, again that honor goes to New York County.
Sorry Pine Bush, while you might not have the numbers, I do give you kudos for celebrating your UFO activity.
Let’s look at some recent New York State sightings:
23 May 2014: at about 4:30 p.m. an upstate NY resident was driving home in a sudden thunderstorm with hail. He glanced northward and saw a black sphere hovering just below the clouds. After a few moments the black sphere started to drop lower until she lost sight of the object.
24 May 2014: at about 10:30 p.m. a couple of Macedon, NY residents were laying on the deck star gazing. While looking to the east & directly over a neighbor’s house, the pair saw a big bright orange ball of light. They both jumped up to get a better look but the object moved up and away at great speed to the east. The object made no sound.
24 May 2014: at about 10:45 p.m. several Tonawanda, NY residents reported seeing two bright orange orbs traveling south at high speed.
25 May 2014: at about noon several New York City residents reported seeing a grey metallic spherical object over the Hudson River moving at a leisurely pace.
25 May 2014: at about 11 p.m. a couple of residents of Greenwood Lake were sitting on a dock enjoying an evening’s conversation. They happened to look westward and saw a “V” shaped bank of lights appear over the local mountain. The number of lights kept “growing in number”, then one light, within the set of lights, began pulsating brighter. After about 10 minutes the bank of lights just disappeared.
28 May 2014: at about 2:45 p.m. a Long Island City, NY office worker observed a metallic spherical object that flew straight at a constant speed with no visible means of propulsion.
If you have a UFO sighting to report, you can use either one of the two national database services: www.NUFORC.ORG or www.MUFON.COM – Both services resp
A young man, Granger Taylor was a mechanical genius that was self-taught. He dropped out of school in the eighth grade, however, at the age of only fourteen he built a one-cylinder automobile which is now on display the Duncan Forest Museum along with a steam locomotive that he hauled out of the woods and restored. At age seventeen he overhauled a bulldozer that no one else could repair. He built a replica of a World War II fighter plane that was snatched-up by a collector for $20,000.
Granger always wondered how Flying Saucer were powered. He built his own out of two satellite dishes, one top and one bottom, as an inspiration. His “flying saucer” became a home-away-from-home with couch, TV and a woodstove. He would often sleep in his “space craft”.
He later said he was in contact with extraterrestrials that were going to show him how their technology works. He told everyone he was going for a trip on an alien space ship. Then one night in November of 1980 he disappeared and left a note for his family. To this day, despite an RCMP investigation, he has never been found, nor have they found any possible clues as to his whereabouts.
The Granger Affair is certainly a great Canadian mystery. Surely a man of his obvious mechanical talents would not go unnoticed had he simply slipped away in the night. After a four year investigation authorities haven’t a single lead to where he might be.
The evidence Granger Taylor’s Flying Saucer Mysterious Canada, R.J. Colombo, 1988 The Granger Taylor Flying Saucer rests on stilts in the backyard of the Taylor home at Duncan on Vancouver Island. It is a mute memorial to its builder, young Granger Taylor. “He built his spaceship out of two satellite receiving dishes and outfitted it with a television, a couch, and a wood-burning stove. He became obsessed with finding out how flying saucers were powered, spending hours sitting in the ship thinking and often sleeping there,” wrote Douglas Curran in his book: In Advance of the Landing: Folk Concepts of Outer Space (1985). Then one November night in 1980 Granger Taylor simply disappeared. He left behind a yard strewn with old tractors; machine engines, vintage automobiles, a bulldozer, as well as a note which read:
Dear Mother and Father, I have gone away to walk aboard an alien ship, as recurring dreams assured a 42 month interstellar voyage to explore the vast universe, then return. I am leaving behind all my possessions to you as I will no longer require the use of any. Please use the instructions in my will as a guide to help. Love, Granger.
The forty-two months were up in May 1984 and his parents, Jim and Grace Taylor, leave the back door unlocked in case their son shows up. But he never has.
Granger Taylor left school in the eighth grade and found work as a mechanic’s helper, showing a flair for repairing machinery. At the age of fourteen he built a one-cylinder car which is on display at the Duncan Forest Museum. He constructed a replica of a World War II fighter plane, and he left behind his silver-and-red flying saucer.
He told a friend a month before he disappeared that he was in mental contact with someone from another galaxy and that he was in receipt of an invitation to go on a trip through the Solar System.“On the night that Granger disappeared, ” wrote Curran, ” a storm struck the central part of Vancouver Island. Hurricane winds were reported and electrical power was knocked out. Granger vanished, along with his blue pick-up truck.
“After four years of ‘exhaustive checks’ of hospital, passport, employment, and vehicle records, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have not uncovered a single clue as to the whereabouts of Granger Taylor. ‘I can hardly believe Granger’s off in a spaceship, ‘his father said. ‘But if there is a flying object out there, he’s the one to find it.’ ”

Maren Merino was working in the kitchen of a small café owned by her family when she looked out the kitchen window and sees an intense brilliance but originally does not give it any importance. Her daughter, 25-year old Felicidad Fernandez Merino then enters the kitchen and also looks out the window and observ…es the light. Felicidad asks her mother about the light, but this one continues to ignore the light, thinking that it was something abnormal she yells out to two other women, including a woman called Paquita. All three women then open the window and observe an incredible scene, on a field about 30 meters in distance, hovering about 3 meters from the ground they see a luminous square of four to five meters wide, intensely illuminated with a light of orange-white color. Inside the luminous square they see the silhouette of man walking about. Suddenly from the right another similar figure appears and both walk towards the left side of the luminous square. Then from the opposite of the square three more squares appear, thus making a total of five figures within the luminous square. By now the witnesses are totally fascinated and cry out to the beings, they are now joined by another witness, 35-year old Antonio. At this moment Antonio looks out the window and the craft disappears from sight. According to the witnesses the movements of the humanoids was somehow mechanical, with arms straight on their sides without any apparent joint movement. The beings were tall and very well built, with normal features, chestnut-color hair and light skin. They wore something similar to dark or black, very tight-fitting coveralls with sleeves and turtlenecks. The incident lasted for about 5 minutes. Suddenly as the witnesses look for the object a small shiny sphere descended from the middle of the air falling to the soil in a curvilinear trajectory, the body of the UFO also became visible clearly displaying the shiny square section and the section of the object hat had remained invisible to the witnesses thus far, it was an ash-silver color, lightly fluorescent half spherical cupola. The object then rose slowly and disappeared very quickly leaving behind a brilliant greenish track that persisted for about 15 minutes after the object left.

A strange account from the Cussac Plateau in France By Joel Mesnard and Claude Pavy
Translated from Phenomenes Spatiaux for June, 1968, by John C. Hugill
ON the Contal plateau in a setting of pastures divided by little stone walls and curtains of trees, a liny village stands on a hill—Cussac, 20 km. east-south-cast of St.-Flour. It is 10.30 a.m. on August 29, 1967. In a meadow beside Route D.57 ten or so cows are grazing in the care of Francois Delpeuch (131) and his sister Anne-Marie (9) accompanied by their little dog Medor. The weather is fine, the sky is clear, and a light wind is blowing from the west.
As the cows make a move to cross the low wall, Francois gets up to bring them back, turns round and sees, on the other side of the road, what he takes at first to be four children. They are behind a hedge 40 metres or so away. He climbs on top of a few stones the better to see these children whom he does not recognise. Francois and Anne-Marie make out, near the strangers, a large sphere half hidden by the hedge. It is very brilliant and shines so much it is painful to look at.
One of the little beings is bending over and seems to be busy with the soil, while another, holding in one hand an object which reflects the sun (which Francois likened to a mirror), is waving his hands, apparently making signs to his companions.
Francois then called out, “Have you come to play with us?” At this moment the small beings, who did not seem to be interested in the children, became aware that they were under observation. The first one (see sketch) took off vertically and then plunged head first through the top of the sphere. The second followed in the same way, and the third, after getting up, did likewise. The fourth also got up, but before diving into the machine, came down again and seemed to pick up something from ihe ground (his mirror, Francois thinks). Then he took off again and caught up with the sphere which during this time had begun to rise in a small spiral, and was already 15 or so metres up in the air. He then disappeared inside like the rest. When climbing, the sphere made a soft, fairly piercing whistling noise, mingled with the sound of a breeze which neither of the children felt.
The sphere then made several more circles, climbing al! the while, and in doing so the intensity of the light given off by it increased considerably. Then the sound stopped and the sphere flew off at full speed to the north-west. At the same time, a smell of sulphur began to spread, reaching the children. The cows started lowing and gathered near to those of Francois and Anne-Marie.
The dog Medor barked at the object and wanted to follow it. The children did not see the object disappear, as they had to look after the cows, which were very upset, and which they drove home half an hour earlier than usual.
Details of the object are scanty. It was a perfect sphere, about 2 metres in diameter, of a very brilliant luminous silver colour, and dazzling. Francois, who wears spectacles and so must have sensitive eyes, experienced running eyes for a quarter of an hour after seeing the object, and every morning on waking for several days afterwards. His sister, who does not wear glasses, felt nothing.
No details were noticed on the sphere itself; it was perfectly smooth, without marking or visible opening. The little beings seemed to pass through the wall of the sphere. The only detail noticed, and one of the points of difference in the children’s stories, was by Anne-Marie. She says she saw beneath ihe machine a landing gear consisting of three or four straight legs, equipped with round “shoes” 10 cm. in diameter. They were no longer isible beneath the machine in flight. Anne-Marie did not sec them retract into the machine. One minute they were there, the moment after, they were there no longer. It may be thought that, as the machine rose and the intensity of the light increased to a point where it was unbearable, the visible details of the object would have been swamped by this dazzling light, which would explain why Francois, with his sensitive eyes, could not see the legs at the point of take-off, since at that instance the machine was very luminous.
The smell of sulphur spread as the machine began to climb in a spiral or, more precisely, helical course. The light west wind was blowing from the object towards the children. The cows started to low as soon as the machine moved off. It may be noted that in sufficient concentration, ozone has a smell which could be confused with that of sulphur (i.e. of sulphurous gas) and that a smell of ozone has already been noticed in a number of UFO landings.
Details of the small beings are more numerous and interesting. They were 1-1-20 metres tall, not all of the same height. Nos. I and 2 (see sketch) were the smallest, and the tallest was No. 4, the one with a “mirror” in his hand. They were “completely black”, but with a shiny look which Francois compared to that of silk. The children could not be certain whether the colour was that of the beings’ skin, or of some sort of protective suit, for there was no visible dividing line between any possible clothing and the heads of the beings, which were bare. If there was a protective suit of some kind, it was perfectly fitted.
The limb proportions were not completely in accordance with the norms of our species. The arms were somewhat too long and thin (see sketches). The children could not distinguish anything which might serve as hands. The legs were short and thin. The head seemed of normal proportions relative to the body, but the cranium was pointed and the chin equally was very much accentuated. The nose also was pointed, and here was a second point of difference in their stories…
Although they did not appear to wear any apparatus on their backs, the beings flew with great ease and speed…
We then went to Cussac where we found little Anne-Marie with her mother and her younger brother, Andre, and were very well received. We questioned Anne-Marie for nearly an hour. There were two of us and we asked questions in turn, in a continuous stream, reverting from time to time to the same questions but differently formulated, in an effort to try to make the child contradict herself. She is a timid little girl, bui she never once did so. After this interrogation she took us off to find her brother Francois who was working in the fields with his other brother Raymond. We walked back with Francois to his parents’ home, interrogating him as we had done his sister. He too never contradicted himself. Again, when questioning them together, both at home and at the scene of the incident, and asking them ever more specific questions, we never saw any conniving looks pass between them. They never seemed embarrassed by our questions; either they had seen the detail asked for, or they had not. For example, Francois told us: “From the first day, Anne-Marie has said she saw legs beneath the object, but I didn’t see any, so I can’t tell you anything!” On this point, incidentally, he thinks she mistook the branches of the hedge for “legs”.
All the above only strengthen the feeling, which we had had throughout the enquiry, that we were confronted by a passionately believed and deeply serious case, whose significance and importance we could not overemphasise…
On Wednesday 19 April 1978, Mr. S. and his girlfriend were driving in the vicinity of Tainter Lake, when they decided to stop and attempt some fishing since most of the ice was already thawed. They found a spot along the shore where they could do some casting. Mr. S. had also brought along an FM portable radio. They had been at this spot for about a half an hour when the radio began picking up interference. It was then that Mr. S. looked up into the sky, thinking an airplane must be going over-head. At that point the object “appeared” out of the southwest, moving northeast. He and his girlfriend became very excited and frightened. Remembering that they had a camera with them, (an Instamatic) Mr. S. went and got it to take some pictures. He almost dropped it several times trying to get it out of the case. He finally got it out and started to point it at the object when the object suddenly veered off course in their direction and came towards them. They became even more frightened but Mr. S. was determined to get a photograph of the thing!
At that point, the object began to circle them at a high altitude as Mr. S. began taking pictures. The object flew around the area only once and then disappeared into the sunlight. The whole incident lasted about 3 or 4 minutes. Mr. S. was hesitant about showing anyone the photos because he was afraid of people thinking the wrong thing. He finally sent a UFO lecturer a copy after attending one of his slide lectures on the UFO subject. Mr. S. was unable to determine the size of the object for lack of reference, or how fast it was moving. He did say, however, that it gave off a “crackling sound” as it passed around them. Mr. S. turns his camera sideways to get this shot of the object as it passes almost directly overhead. At this point Mr. S. experienced a sensation of “heat” as well as “prickling sensation” around and “in” his head and eyes, however Mr. S. stated that he experienced no permanent or temporary after-effects except a bad case of the “jitters”. This shot was taken while Mr. S. was in a crouched position and remembers falling over on his back afterwards. He said he noticed an “amber or orange-red light” underneath in addition to several small lights which would blink on and off erratically for different lengths of time. (See Photograph) He also noticed 4 “pods” or “landing gear”. The bottom appeared to be a “dull” black. The shock of falling backwards prevented him from taking any more pictures of the object as it continued overhead. SPECIAL NOTE: The following UFO photos are from the archives of Lt. Col. Wendelle C. Stevens, and the accompanying details have been reproduced as close to the original sighting report as possible.
The Agogwe is a rust-colored, downy-haired, 1 to 1.7 meters (2-5 feet) tall unknown biped reported throughout east Africa. Said to have yellowish, reddish skin underneath hair, the Agogwe allegedly inhabits the forest of this remote region.
One of the best known sightings occurred near the turn of the nineteenth century when Capt. William Hichens was sent on an official lion hunt to this region. While there, waiting in a forest clearing for a big cat, he witnessed the bipeds, which he later described in the December 1937 issue of the London magazine Discovery:
“Some years ago I was sent on an official lion hunt in this area. While waiting in a forest glade for a man eater, I saw two small, brown, furry creatures come from the dense forest on one side of the glade and then disappear into the thicket on the other side. They where like little men, about 4 feet high, walking upright, but clad in russet hair. The native hunter with me gazed in mingled fear and amazement.”
In support of Hichens’s story, Cuthbert Burgoyne wrote a letter to Discovery in 1938, noting that he and his wife had seen something similar while coasting Portuguese East Africa [known today as Mozambique] in a Japanese cargo boat in 1927:
“We were sufficiently near to land to see objects clearly with a glass of twelve magnifications. There was a sloping beach with light bush above upon which several dozen baboons where hunting for and picking up shell fish of crabs, to judge by their movements. Two pure white baboons were amongst them. These are very rare but I had heard of them previously. As we watched, two little brown men walked together out of the bush and down amongst the baboons. They were certainly not any known monkey and yet they must have been akin or they would have disturbed the baboons. They were too far away to be seen in great detail, but these small human-like animals were probably between four and five feet tall, quite upright and graceful in figure. At the time I was thrilled as they were quite evidently no beast of which I had heard or read. Later a friend and big game hunter told me he was in Portuguese East Africa with his wife and three other hunters, and saw mother, father and child, of apparently similar animal species, walk across the further side of a bush clearing. The natives loudly forbade him to shoot.”
In the late 1950s, the third sighting was reported, this time it being Charles Cordier, a professional animal collector who allegedly saw the Agogwe in Zaire. It was entangled in one of the bird snares that he had set but escaped before he could do anything, as he said:
“It fell on it face, turned over, sat up, took the noose off its feet, and walked way before the nearby African could do anything.”
These beings are known by a variety of names throughout Africa, including in the Congo, they are called kakundakári; in central Africa as amajungi or niaka-ambuguza; in East Africa as agogwe, doko, mau, or mberikimo; in southern Africa as chimanimani or tokoleshe; and in West Africa as abonesi, ijiméré, or séhité. Various attention has been given to these reports in different decades. There were other widespread reports of reddish-haired séhité in 1940s’ Ivory Coast, where there were no known pygmies at all.
British primatologist W. C. Osman Hill, when talking about similar hominids in South Asia, the nittaewo of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), felt they were a small form of Homo erectus. Scottish-American zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson considered that some proto-pygmies might simply be unclassified pygmy Homo sapiens who have retreated into the rainforests and tropical mountain valleys of Africa or Asia. The French zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans considered the small African creatures may be proto-pygmies, proto-bushmen, or australopithecine (gracile species). On the Track of Unknown Animals Heuvelmans commented:
“Now there is no known ape, even among the anthropoids, which normally walks upright on its hind legs. Perhaps the agogwe are therefore really little men.”
Being that the Agogwe reportedly lives in the dense remote forest regions of Eastern Africa, no formal expeditions have been launched to locate this rare creature. Because of this there has been no physical evidence collected to support the existence of the Agogwe.
NOTE: The following account was recently posted at Reddit Paranormal…very interesting:
What I’m writing here is 100% true, this isn’t a made up story. Okay so I used to work in a haunted cinema. It was a purpose built out of town multiplex cinema that opened in the late 90′s. When I started working there it had been open a year. I was 18 and I was the proud owner of my first car. Shifts at the cinema for Joe Blow employees (ie not managers or projectionists) were “earlies” starting at 10.30am, “mids” starting at 12.30pm, “evening” starting at 5.30pm and “closes” also starting at 5.30pm but lasting longer as it involved locking up the building when all the films had finished showing.
When I first started the job I was asked what my shift availability was. I was a student whilst I worked there so I could only do evening or close shifts on Monday – Friday but I could work any shift at the weekend. As the cinema was out of town and new it was (stupidly imho) poorly served by the local buses. It’s only neighbours were factories (empty at night), a regional post sorting hub and a big out of town 24 hour supermarket. If you worked a closing shift you were entitled to a staff taxi home paid for by the company which obviously cost them money. Soon after I started working there management realised I drove to and from work and so I got way more than my fair share of closing shifts as it saved the company money on paying for a staff taxi. I worked 30 hours a week and it wasn’t uncommon for me to do three closing shifts a week. I didn’t mind this though as after the last film goes in you are left in an empty foyer waiting for the films to finish playing. You’d see a handful of people come out of the screens to use the toilets but essentially you’re just sitting there in case the fire alarm goes off or there was an emergency of some sort. I spent a lot of those evenings/into the early hours of the morning sat at the box office in the main foyer with a textbook in front of me.
After the last film goes in at say 11pm the box office staff close up the tills for the night, the concessions stand (popcorn, drinks etc) and upstairs bar close up and the evening shift staff go home. The only staff in the building after the last film has gone in are a manager, a projectionist – who always stay upstairs and two closing staff. At weekends there is a security guard too just in case of any trouble but the security guard would just be in the foyer, he wouldn’t venture into the screens themselves unless we summoned him in there for any trouble, like someone drunk or fighting or something like that. Anyway so the normal closing procedure for two closers, at least one of them male, would be for one to stay in the foyer and be visible to customers in case they came out of a screen to go to the toilet and then forgot what screen number they came out of and needed help getting the right screen number. The other closer would have the job of “checking” a screen after the film finished and people filed out of the auditorium. Usually we’d take turns doing the screens as they came out. All of us would be carrying a radio on us so we could communicate with each other eg if it was a nice projectionist working they’d say on the radio that screen 11 was rolling it’s credits and that they thought a guy in the 5th row was asleep and would need waking up. We’d also tell each other where we were at what we were doing eg “Screen 9 has come out, I’m going in to check it”.
So on my first shift I was shown how you check a screen on a close shift – basically what you are supposed to do is walk up to the back row and walk along every row of seats looking for people hiding and hoping to be locked in overnight (never happened) but I encountered many sleeping people still in their seats lol and you were supposed to be looking for lost property like bags and coats etc. Each auditorium also had a fire door that you had to make sure was closed/locked from the inside and not opened and left looking closed – in case someone from the outside had left it that way to use as an entrance after the building had closed.
Now depending on how diligent/lazy the closing staff member was some would duly walk up the stairs and along each row of seats, I know one who even did it with a torch – looking for any coins that may have dropped out of someone’s pockets (!) I personally would walk up the stairs, along the back row and down the stairs again. I figured this was enough to see any crouching person hiding behind the seats and if someone had left their coat or phone or something tough (haha) they could just collect it in the morning when the morning cleaners came in. We didn’t clean up people’s rubbish after the last film finished as there was a morning cleaning team of external private contractor cleaners who would come in and clean up properly each morning before the first film started. If you did an early shift you’d be coming into the building as they would be leaving.
So when I first did a close I got lots of “advice” off other staff members like how screens two and three were haunted and I was absolutely not to check those screens on my own. I was like “right…” figuring this was just some sort new-staff member hazing type thing and I took it with a bunch of salt. Because it was a large cinema there were a lot of people working there you’d work with different people all the time depending on how your shifts overlapped but it became apparent that the females in the building (I’m female btw) would not even go into screens two and three on their own at any time and absolutely not on a close “because they’re haunted”. I even heard this from managers both male and female “you know to let the guy you’re working with check screens two and three right?” The female employees’ advice to me was to spend the whole night in the foyer and let the other closer do all the screen checks. I thought this was slightly unfair and as it was a new job that I wanted to keep (free cinema tickets!) I thought I should do my share of the work. I’m not easily spooked and I figured I’d need to see something with my own eyes before I started dictating what I would and wouldn’t do on a shift.
So here’s the creepy stuff…
One closing shift the second closer and I were taking turns checking each screen as the films finished, it was lucky dip what screen you’d get and this particular night my male fellow closer went to check screen two after the film finished whilst I stayed in the foyer watching the customers from that screen leave the building. A few minutes after my colleague left he came back to the foyer white as a sheet, like SO white and he’d pissed himself (!) with fright. Screen two has two sets of stairs and my colleague had started walking up the first set when he’d seen what he’s described as a “female hippy wearing a v-shaped cream shawl with a tassel hem” leap up from right hand corner of the back row, outstretch it’s arms so they were like birds wings and run along the back row and through the left side wall of the screen. The security guard and I relayed this to management and my fellow closer was sent home from work. Only he was so scared that despite having a car himself and the offer of a new pair of trousers to wear he had to call his brother to come pick him up from work because he was too shaken up to drive himself home. As he hadn’t managed to check the screen I told the security guard to come in there with me and I (bravely!) stood at the foot of the first set of stairs whilst he checked the screen. After that night my scared colleague refused to check screen two ever again. Now after doing lots of closes it was screens three and eight that used to scare me because their fire doors were kind of along a little black corridor down at the front of the auditorium so it meant you had to turn your back on the empty auditorium to check the fire door was locked and it gave me the creeps to turn my back on those screens every time I did it. I always felt uneasy and like I was being watched. Other screens had this same fire door position but it was screens three and eight where I always felt creeped out. I would often walk backwards to the fire door and check it that way instead of turning my back on the seats however it was screen two where I had my strange encounter.
This incident happened a few weeks after my colleagues “hippy” sighting and on subsequent closing checks of screen two I would radio the projectionist upstairs and ask him to watch me as I checked the screen. I know some cinemas have tiny little projectionist windows but at this multiplex they were large windows the kind of size you’d have of windows at home so when the projectionist stood at the window you could see his whole upper body so he had a good view of the auditorium. So I had him watching me and he’d wave at me from the window when I was at the foot of the first set of stairs – screen two had/has two sets of stairs and I’d walk up one set, walk along the back row and down the other set, check the fire door was locked and we’d give each other a final wave as I left. Now on this particular close I was about 2/3 of the way down the second set of stairs when I felt something shove me really hard in my lower back, it propelled me forward several feet then of course I dropped as gravity took over. After it happened I was heap on the floor at the foot of the stairs but unhurt and just like “what?!” in disbelief at what had just happened. Actually kinda pissed that the screen two ghost had started on me because I’d been saying to colleagues who asked “How do you manage all those closes?! Omg I couldn’t!” that I hadn’t seen anything, aside from feeling creeped out in screens three and eight I’d seen nothing at all of this alleged ghost. And in fact I hadn’t actually seen anything, but the projectionist who was watching me from upstairs immediately got on the radio to me and asked if I was ok. I replied that I thought I’d fallen or tripped or something but he said “just get out of the screen”. I did and walked back to the foyer and the projectionist had come down from upstairs and asked if I was ok in person. I said I was but said what had happened was weird. The security guard and second closer were there with us and the projectionist told them I’d been picked up and thrown down the stairs in screen two. I started to correct him and said I was shoved in the back but he said one minute I was walking down the stairs the next I had propelled about six or seven feet in front of where I was on the steps and then dropped like a stone at the bottom of them “as if someone had picked her up, carried her a bit and let go of her”. He concluded that it was “weird” and “no wonder nobody will go into screen two last thing at night”. Needless to say after that I didn’t check screen two on my own again, only with the second closer – who didn’t want to do it on their own either.
Screen two also had a weird lost property problem. The closer, sometimes me, would walk along the back row of the screen as part of the closing check but several times the morning cleaning team would complain to management that there was a tonne of lost property left on the back row of screen two and it was always scarves or shawls or ties whatever went round your neck. One morning they complained to management that they had found 15 (!) scarves/shawls/ties in the back row of screen two one morning after I’d done the closing check on that screen – we had to sign our initials on a piece of paper to confirm each screen had been checked for hideaway people or anything other than people’s food rubbish left in the rows so I had been fingered as the last one in screen two before them the following morning.
I was hauled into the managers office about these 15 ties and scarves and asked why I didn’t bring “all” the lost property down to the foyer as part of my supposed screen check. The managers attitude was “if you don’t want to check screen two tell the other closer to do it with you but it must be checked” and I was like “I did check it and I walked along that back row and if there were 15 scarves or whatever on the floor I think I’d have noticed at least one or two of them”. As luck would have it the next day was the weekend and I had an opening shift and I caught some of the cleaning staff in the staff room as they were packing up to go home and I asked them what the deal was with the scarves in screen two. The conversation was very strange. The cleaning staff were apparently annoyed at the evening closers for dumping the lost property in the back row of screen two “all the time”. I said that I did three closes a week minimum and I was pretty sure we were doing no such thing. If we were I would have known about it. Hell the last thing the closers wanted to do was to go up the stairs to the back row of screen two for shits and giggles. No way. But the cleaners were adamant that there was always clothing like head scarves (the kind old ladies or maybe Asian females wear) and ties in the back row of screen two “most days”. I was like “what?” We don’t get that much lost property in a day, maybe only like three things a day and certainly nothing like 15 ties and scarves from one screen after one film. The cleaning staff were pissed about it though saying they had to stop their cleaning duties and log all the lost property they had found and the previous morning it had been 15 items, all in one row – the back row of screen two and how it was unfair that the closers were clearly dumping the lost property for them to find so we didn’t have to log it – place found, day, time etc. I assured them that we were doing no such thing. I suggested that it might be something to do with the screen two ghost but the morning cleaners (being separate from the normal cinema staff) had never heard of it.
During my break that day I decided to go check out the lost property log book which was kept in an upstairs office and truthfully we didn’t like to have to go fill it in. It’s a maze of stairs and corridors to get up there and with most lost property we’d just keep it behind the desk at the box office because 95% of the time the person who had lost the wallet/phone/coat whatever would show up an hour or two later as they retraced their steps and ask if it had been found. Anyway when I looked at the lost property log book there were literally thousands of neck wear items in it. Either found in screen two or at that end of the building eg “corridor outside screens two and three” or “ladies toilet opposite screen three” always in that vicinity. I was totally creeped out and I was in the managers office at the time and I asked him to take a look at the log book and clearly nobody (except the cleaners!) had realised just how many neck wear items were being lost in the cinema. Also who the f wears a tie to go to the cinema?! Certainly not many people! But the log book had probably 90% lost neck wear – and none of them had been claimed! We knew because we’d ask a customer to sign the log book if they came back for anything. I then asked to see this apparently incredible mound of ties and scarves in the office where the lost property box was kept and sure there was a pile of ties and shawls and scarves in it, maybe around forty in total – which was a lot, you could open an accessory shop with that amount but there was nowhere near the number that the lost property log book implied had been found and were unclaimed.
The next shift I went back upstairs to the office and asked to see the lost property log book again, a different manager was working and I explained to her the weird lost property tie and scarf thing that was going on and she and I both examined the log book and it was same scarves being lost then found again as if on a loop eg a blue see-through triangle head scarf had been “found” seven times that month alone – by the morning cleaners, not the regular staff. The manager couldn’t believe it and we went to check the office where the lost property was kept (a locked office that only managers have the key to) and there was only one scarf matching that description in the box. We both had the chills at this now and the manager was adamant that that office was never left unlocked and she couldn’t fathom out how any of it could get out and be re-found. I then reminded her that screen two (with it’s resident ghost) was all over the lost property log book re: the ties and scarves and she said she thought we should take all the ties and scarves to some wasteland adjacent to the cinema building and burn them. I cautioned her against this and said if the cinema ghost had somehow collected them and liked them and was playing I dunno, dress up with them (!) then she should leave well alone and burning them might piss it off. Best leave things well alone. She agreed and the whole repeated finding of the neck wear in and around screen two continued and quite probably continues still. Weirdest part for me is that we don’t even see many customers with head scarves and ties on, people don’t tend to wear that sort of clothing to the cinema.
Now the biggest incident that I was around for occurred one morning. Two days/nights previously the cinema had begun an over-night screen painting maintenance program. Essentially a manager and the security guard were staying overnight in the foyer/box office area and a team of painters were coming in and re-painting the auditorium walls. The morning after screen two was painted (pissed off ghost perhaps?) the following occurred. I came in for an open shift and found the manager on duty (incidentally the female manager who’d wanted to burn the ties and scarves) shaking like a leaf in the downstairs staff room chain smoking. She was clearly upset and shaken up about something and she told me what had happened.
She’d arrived at the same time as the cleaning crew and unlocked the building (the overnight painting crew had left with the manager and security guard at dawn) and she’d walked through the foyer, up to the bar on the second floor, through the bar area and though a door up some stairs to the office, leaving the cleaning crew to get out their equipment and starting cleaning and hoovering the screens. Nothing was amiss. She’d unlocked the office door upstairs and turned on the computer to do whatever paperwork it is that cinema managers do. A few minutes later she heard a huge crash and she said it sounded like a car had been driven through the glass doors next to the box office and foyer on the ground floor. She rushed down from the office and when she entered the bar area there had been a huge display of beer bottles piled up in a display on the rear bar counter in three triangle/pyramid shapes (is the three/triangle significant? I’m only just thinking about that now). Every single one of these bottles had been broken on the floor behind the bar which was swimming with beer and broken glass. The manager thought there must have been an earthquake tremor that had disturbed the bottle display (but the place is nowhere near a fault line and earthquakes just do not happen here, ever). Anyway she began to clean up the mess behind the bar and was thinking how long that would take re: getting the bar open for customers and how she’d have to write off the stock that had been smashed when she realised that the glass bottles had been broken into tiny little pieces. You know when you smash a beer bottle there’s the neck and the circle base well nothing like that was apparent, I went up there and saw it with my own eyes and it just looked like bits of paper and glass you couldn’t tell they had been bottles at all. No piece of glass was bigger than your pinkie nail. That creeped me out a lot.
I asked the manager if she had checked the cctv footage and she, the projectionist (who had just come into work the same time as me) and I went up to the office and watched the footage of the bar back and there was nobody in the bar at all and those bottles did not fall onto the floor and break because of an earthquake. The display was about 3m across, the full length of the bar. All the bottles were standing at the back of the rear bar counter against the mirrored wall behind and then they all slid forward together 2ft, the width of the rear counter and and fell off the edge of the bar onto the floor where the bar staff stand. The kind of motion if you were you use your arm to clear a space on a table. But this was 3m worth of clearing moving together and it didn’t explain how on the bar floor the bits of glass were in tiny pieces. I concluded that the painting in screen two must have pissed off the resident ghost. (And I was so glad I was on an open that day so someone else would be doing the close!) Oh and also, when we went back up to the office to review the cctv footage the pc monitor (the old cream colour thick screen type) that the manager had been working on had been rotated 180 degrees so the cables and things were touching the keyboard and the glass screen was facing the wall. There was only the manager who had been upstairs and she swore she had done no such thing to the computer monitor. She and I cleaned up the glass and beer in the bar and she called another manager to come in and cover because she said she was too shaken up to work that day. Another weird thing that happened a few times, again in screen two. A customer who had left and who had forgotten something would rush back in to the foyer and ask to go back into the screen (two) to retrieve it. Obviously because it was screen two we’d just say “sure, go ahead” and let them go get it themselves. Any other screen (except maybe three and eight which creeped me out) I’d offer to help them with a torch but if it was screen two they could just go down on their own. Now this happened on my closes twice and I’m aware of it another three times on other people’s closes but it was always customers who’d report it, never staff. I wondered if the screen two ghost just liked messing with the customers? Anyway both times on my shift it was exactly the same, the male customer would say they’d left something behind and could they go get it, we’d say sure and they’d jog off down the corridor towards the screen. Then a minute or so later they’d run back to the foyer in a panic/hysterical yelling (sometimes in front of groups of other customers coming out of other screens!) that there was a woman hanging from the ceiling (as in hung themselves) at the back of screen two. The first time it happened I was like “what?!” and the security guard, the other closer and I set off running down to screen two, telling the manager on the radio that we might need them to call us an ambulance. Of course when we got to the screen nothing was amiss. But the customer (who would know nothing about screen two’s reputation) was adamant that they’d seen a woman hanging from the ceiling at the back. This happened twice on my closes (although we didn’t radio for an ambulance the second time) and with different customers. No staff ever saw this hanging woman but the (presumably unrelated) customers sure did. The second time it happened on my closes the customer ran to us saying there was a woman hanging and when we got to the screen there was nothing there. The customer then confusedly walked out and it was just the security guard and I were left in there and I said out loud to the ghost (and I didn’t talk out loud to her at all) “you shouldn’t go scaring the customers like that, they pay our wages” and as soon as I’d said it the lights in the screen all went out (apparently a fuse blew) and we were left standing in the pitch black. We got out of the screen unscathed but the security guard yelled at me for talking to the ghost and telling it off and “upsetting her”!
Oh and another weird thing is that the projectors for the screens all have cd players and during the gap between performances the projector would automatically play a pre-loaded cd so we had music to clean up to (picking up popcorn boxes etc). Full time staff members would bring in cd’s from home, home burned copies of albums or their own home made compilations of stuff they liked (no explicit lyrics allowed) so they could have fresh music to listen to because after a month you’d get sick of the same songs and you’d know what track was coming up next in each screen and well you’d get bored of it pretty quick.
Anyway screen three (which aside from making me feel uncomfortable when I checked it I’d had no actual incidents in) had a cd stuck in the cd drawer.
Projectors cost 6 figures new and as they projected the film fine the cinema was not bothered that we couldn’t change the cd so the cd drawer was left broken. Now screen three had a cd stuck in it’s drawer that was a free cd from a film magazine and the first track of it was Amiee Mann’s “Save Me” from the film Magnolia’s soundtrack. Most of the time the cd never played and you’d have to clean in silence but sometimes the cd would start to play after several minutes of silence (at full volume and scare the proverbial shit out you) but it would only play the first track on the cd and only play it once. That was it, no second track and not repeated.
Screen two’s projector also had an unknown cd stuck in the drawer and it would play the same song on repeat throughout the cleaning time and before the adverts and trailers would start. (I’d like to take whoever put that cd in that drawer out back and beat them to death because repeatedly hearing that song did my head in!) It was Tony Orlando and Dawn’s “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree”.
After I quit working at the cinema I kinda reflected on these things and wondered whether they all fit together – “tie” “tree” – hanging? and “save me” song and the whole customers seeing a hanging woman and the lost property ties and scarves. I think it’s all connected to someone’s hanging but that’s all I know.
Oh and final nugget of info here, after I quit working at the cinema I still had friends who worked there and in 2011 there was a film out, a comedy called Our Idiot Brother with Paul Rudd and Emily Mortimer in it. Anyway this film was being shown in screen two for it’s first “preview” screening and the Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree song was in the film (screen two ghost’s favourite song!) and the celluloid snapped just after the song finished in the film. And film’s totally don’t snap. It’s really rare for it to happen and if ever it’s when the print has been shown repeatedly and dust/dirt has gotten onto it. But yeah, that for sure was the screen two ghost who snapped it. – Reddit.com
Witness Reports UFO Near Collision With Airliner on LAX Approach
Looking into the north east sky traveling east, Airliners on approach to LAX in the sky’s lined up. A object lit with orange and yellow lighting heading north in the sky towards an airliner on approach heading South West at the same altitude. I almost crashed watching what I thought was going to be a mid air collision. Just as it almost collided, the craft dove and circled under the airliner then continued north for 10 to 15 seconds then completely disappeared in a flash. Both my daughter and I witnessed this. We are aviation enthusiasts this craft was no airplane or helicopter. There were no red, green or white lights. – MUFON CMS
I was trying to take a photo of the Guess ad that was on the side of the building in Miami on Friday the 6th of June 2014 and I didnt see the image till I reviewed the photo later…just an interesting image. – MUFON CMS
Residents of a small village say they are in a ‘Bermuda Triangle’ where cars keep locking and unlocking themselves – trapping people in and out of their vehicles.
Locals in Summercourt in Cornwall – population 300 – claim a small area of the community is effected by the bizarre incidents.
They say around 30 cars in the same few streets lock and unlock themselves – with reports of at least one child being locked in.
Motorists in the village say the locking systems on dozens of cars have been “possessed” – and have dubbed it the “Summercourt Triangle”.
Resident Lin Howard said drivers have changed key fob batteries but the problem, which started six months ago, won’t go away. Ms Howard, who is the school secretary, said a car had automatically locked itself with a young child inside which was “very distressing” for the mother. – westerndailypress
Everyone knows that the region has a record of unidentified flying object manifestations in different locations, particularly the local valleys. However, the UFO captured on video by local youths was recorded from La Serena's Avenida del Mar.
It is possible to see a small yellow light maneuvering in the sky in these images, moving in different directions in a matter of seconds. During nearly three minutes of recording, the youths exchange opinions about the phenomenon that has appeared before their eyes.
[Three or four boys express admiration - in colorful and profane language - at the beginning of the video. At one point (1:18) one voice remarks that the light "has landed on an empty lot on the beach". It can then be seen rising up into the air again - SC]
My son was walking home from school on Monday 2nd June 2014 in the vicinity of Eascote near Pinner (North West London). As he walked passed a man and a small girl walking in the opposite direction to him he noticed an object in the sky. My son observed that the object was a disc shaped and hovering just below cloud level at a distance of up to half a mile from him. He was at first confused by what he was looking at as it did not resemble a conventional aircraft. He turned around to see if the man had seen it too but the man and the small child had already walked around the corner on to the next street. The time was 4:17 pm. My son then observed the gray disc-shaped object as it maintained a hovering but stationary position. He described seeing the underbelly of the object and the rim of the object for some 10 to 15 seconds. He later pointed out to me that it must have been a fairly large object as he estimated it to be at least half a mile away. He took a photograph of the object with his smart phone camera and continued to look at the disc. My son then observed that the craft then started to change its colour by blotching different areas of its undercarriage to match the cloud around it. He observed this change of colour for up to seven seconds before the craft completely disappeared from view. At no time during this transformation did the craft move position and neither did it make a sound that he could detect. My son said that he had the distinct impression that the craft was still there but had somehow cleverly masked itself to the naked eye. Upon witnessing the disappearance but feeling it was still present my son become scared. He rang his mother to tell her what he had seen and then ran the rest of the way home.
In de jaren zestig deed de Amerikaanse neuroloog John Lilly pogingen om te communiceren met dolfijnen door ze Engels te leren. Voor zijn experiment bouwde hij een groot huis aan de kust van de Maagdeneilanden ten oosten van Puerto Rico. Hij stelde een onderzoeksteam samen om één van de slimste dieren op aarde te bestuderen.
In het zogeheten Dolphin House bevond zich een zwembad met drie dolfijnen. Eén van de onderzoekers, een jonge vrouw genaamd Margaret Howe, leerde de dieren praten via hun spuitgat. Tussen 1965 en 1966 gaf ze taalles aan dolfijn Peter. De BBC zendt binnenkort een documentaire uit over de ervaringen van Howe.
Lilly raakte in de jaren vijftig geïnteresseerd in dolfijnen en zijn boek ‘Man and Dolphin’ werd een internationale bestseller. Het was het eerste boek waarin werd beweerd dat dolfijnen complexe emoties hebben, dat ze in staat zijn om bijvoorbeeld boosheid te bedwingen en trillen als ze pijn hebben.
Sommige soorten hebben 40 procent meer hersenvolume dan mensen. Lilly stelde dat ze een vorm van telepathie gebruiken, die de sleutel is tot het begrijpen van buitenaardse communicatie. Hij meende ook dat dolfijnen ons ‘kunnen leren gewichtloos te leven in de ruimte’.
Het experiment zou tragisch zijn geëindigd en jaren erna gingen er nog steeds geruchten rond dat de dolfijnen waren blootgesteld aan drugsmisbruik. Na 1965 bleek uit experimenten dat dolfijnen zeer zelfbewust zijn en menselijke communicatie begrijpen, maar er is nog altijd weinig bewijs dat een dolfijnentaal bestaat.
Professor Thomas White vindt de consequenties van het experiment tekenend voor de kortzichtige wetenschappelijke benadering van dierlijke intelligentie. “We zien taal als belangrijkste graadmeter voor intelligentie,” zei hij. “Dolfijnen zijn net als mensen emotioneel en intellectueel hoog ontwikkeld. Daar moeten we naar kijken.”
‘The Girl Who Talks to Dolphins’ wordt op 18 juni aanstaande uitgezonden op BBC Four.
