“Alien” Anything, Part 2

(Before It's News)

Below is a response from a questioner to my seemingly harsh and critical email requesting him to substantiate his claims that “we’re “dealing with beings that are very different from us, etc.” He was offended by my response to him but to his credit, he wrote back, referred to some of my own remarks he found insulting, and I followed up with this:

…………………………………………………………………………………………..................................

First, thanks for writing back. I want to answer your points and do so directly without any intentional insults. I’m also going to address a few points that I too have to live with if the Billy Meier UFO  case is to be considered credible, let alone the standard by which all other claims of ET contact are to be measured.

Let’s see if we can agree that the actual, proven existence of ETs would be of mega-enormous significance. Topping that by light years of course would be proof that one man on Earth has been in contact with them…for over 72 years.

Now the problem facing the UFO community/industry (UFOCI) is that they casually take for granted that there are all sorts of “aliens” walking around on Earth, working for the government (would they really be that stupid and desperate?), abducting people, co-procreating hybrid-human babies, etc. Really, that’s the standard fare of the UFOCI. And it’s mostly why the entire UFO field is marginalized, relegated to tabloid status, entertainment, etc., and the truth kept from the public.

This is no accident. Neither is the fact that all of this “alien” bilge can get widespread media coverage but you won’t find a word on the Meier case in the mainstream media. That should start to tell you something about both the “alien” nonsense and the…real deal.

I’ll get back to this – and it’s not directed at you – but also consider that sometimes people would rather die than know and have to deal with the truth. The problem is that they may well die because they deny it.

Now when someone blithely tells you that there are all sorts of these “Greys”, etc., on Earth, messing around with people, etc., beyond my already noted irreverent response to the failed logic behind unsubstantiated claims, let’s go a bit farther and ask just how we came to accept a context in which we are already ascribing and describing and attributing behaviors and motivations to creatures for which there simply is no empirical evidence establishing their existence, let alone interactions with us.

This is supremely important. How, how did we get from anecdotal stories by so-called “experiencers” – a cutesy new designation that would be fitting in a sic-fi discussion but not in one for which real, cold, hard evidence is lacking – to accepting their subjective accounts as equal to real scientifically proven facts?

You’ve taken offense not only to my lack of bedside manner but to my essential demands for actual…evidence. So let me explain just a little bit more about that.

In my 35 years of researching the Meier case, and a couple more decades of overall interest that started in my childhood, I still haven’t come upon any so-called UFO case that meets the standards of evidence and proof that one would deem reasonable to support such claims. I’ll quickly add that I have no trouble accepting the reality of Roswell (and some others like it). I first learned about it in about1958 from a high school friend who told me about a “flying saucer” that had crashed and was hauled off to an air base in Ohio. He learned about it from his father who was…in the US Air Force.

But there is zero remaining and/or verifiable evidence for Roswell (or any other cases, real or otherwise) and none can be forced from a government that probably doesn’t have and/or know about it/them anyway.

Roswell, like every other so-called UFO case,  is a complete waste of very, very precious, dwindling time. Please, feel free to challenge that by producing something, anything of actual, relevance to our global situation today.

In representing the Meier case I’ve been “challenged” (and largely attacked) by skeptics but they pale in comparison to the incompetence, vehemence and obstruction of the truth by…UFOCI. The UFOCI is, second only to, or tied with, the intelligence agencies; it’s the worst opponent of the Meier case, the least scientific, least qualified, competent, capable, rational, logical group in just about any field of study that I know of.

The funny thing is that I’ve defeated every skeptical challenge, shut down a challenge from a scientist with a top secret clearance in less than five minutes, did the same thing just last year with a retired judge, simply on the strength of the scientific and legal standard of proof in the case. It doesn’t take a genius. Just someone who’s really done their homework. I’ve offered to debate all of the professional skeptics, at once, at an event of their choosing. No responses now, when once they were so confident.

I don’t have a scientific background. I was basically an artist and singer/songwriter who didn’t get my first “real” job until, at age 32, I had to raise my 10 month-old baby myself as a single father. (Some of my other bio material is here.)

I learned how to research – and think – from delving into the Meier material. I looked into every UFO-related story along the way. There’s simply no there there, anywhere, certainly not even remotely in the same league as the Meier case.

I’ve been to Switzerland 14 times, tried to trick Meier 4 times in 3 years on a strange matter he told me about. But he always immediately gave me the same answer, no hesitation, no tall tales, excuses. Where would I go to “research” anecdotal fables that have been built around “strange experiences”? I’ve been within 20′ of a craft myself and I received information from the Plejaren, through Meier, foretelling a trap I was otherwise going to fall into…verifiably days before the culprit sprang his second best plan because I had retreated based on their information, which Meier himself didn’t know about. I guess I’m not an “experiencer” because I have actual evidence for my claim and I don’t need some bogus “hypnosis” to recall (or have someone with questionable qualifications and motives concoct stories about) it.

Do you know why I do this work on the Meier case (and not on anything else, including my many creative ventures)? It’s because I consider it the most important true story in all of human history and the key to our future survival. My personal mission is to help prove the prophecies (like those here)…wrong.

I have a website jam packed with information, a blog with over 300 entries and a media appearances list a mile long. But the mainstream media access that I’ve tried to get in every way I know how is barred. Why is that? It’s because of several factors pertaining to the reality of the case and all that that implies to the powers that be, the knowledge of who Meier is and the fact that it’s now known that it’s too late to forestall some of the most dreadful stuff that all those suppressive minds have actually helped to create and force to fulfillment.

So, getting back to my earlier comment, there are indeed people for whom the truth is so unmanageable that they would rather die than deal with it…and they have no compunctions about letting the rest of the world go down the drain at the same time.

As for the “Greys”, “aliens”, “experiencers”, etc., if one is sober and self-honest, the magnitude of that entire cynical farce is not only devoid of any credible, verifiable physical evidence but even ONE significant, uniquely valuable piece of information for humanity. It’s not only depressing but raises serious questions as to how one got swept up in that dead-end disinformation at the expense of recognizing truth and reality.

If I notice, while out walking at night, that your house is on fire should I wait until I return home, send you an email, maybe call - but apologize for disturbing you…or should I bang like hell on your door, get you to wake up and let you decide how you’re going to deal with the problem?

I’ve tried, and actually continue to try, every reasonable, rational, polite, humorous approach I know to wake people up…so that they can decide what they want to do once they know their house is on fire. Of course I do pound on their doors too when all else seems to have failed.

Our house, your house is on fire and no amount of pseudoscientific hypnosis with “experiencers” has – or ever will – alert us to it, nor will it contain the remedies that may still remain for us to put the fire out. No imaginary “Greys” started the fire, nor will they be of any help. The so-called “Greys” from Roswell were actually…androids, the robotic surrogates for the actual extraterrestrials in the Zeta Reticulum system who sent them out on scientific information gathering missions. Oh so cleverly, the US intelligence agencies, and others, have demonized real, actual – human – extraterrestrials and substituted all this fearful garbage to control people. And it’s not only been at the expense of the truth but it will cost many lives.

In the past 10,000 years, according to Meier, there’ve been only about 250 years of peace. The imaginary “Greys” weren’t killing off untold millions of human beings. We human beings ourselves were.

So we come around to this dreaded, disinformation perpetuating UFOCI, which, in case you haven’t noticed, hasn’t produced one solid piece of evidence for all its decades and decades of chasing lights in the sky. While the prophecies ceaselessly fulfill, while we pass our own point of no return, we think we still have the luxury of entertainingly scaring ourselves with the contemporary version of ghost stories, the new “demons” are now the imaginary “Greys”, “evil aliens”, etc.

But people like me, specifically me in fact, are a “problem” because I now waste little time confronting people with the truth as I know it, willing as I am though to be proven wrong. But no one, not even you my friend, has yet rebutted or addressed my concerns with opposing facts.  Please, cite the best evidence from the most credible “researchers’ you’ve listened to in those hundreds of hours of interviews, etc..

If you can do so I will gladly address them. If not, maybe you’ll see that I’m not the problem for trying to make you substantiate your claims, beliefs, etc. But I may be the one who points out the real “fire in the house” in the form of the epidemic of gullibility, non-critical thinking, illogic and denial of reality that is the product of this abysmal, fraudulent field of UFOlogy and the industry it’s spawned…at the expense of the true truth.

................................................................................................................................................................

I am not a researcher. I don’t have access to “scientifically verifiable” proof at a level that you would ever be satisfied with. I have a deep interest in this subject and have spent a few years listening to hundreds of hours of interviews from other researchers & experiencers, watched numerous documentaries, read many books, etc. which lead me to suspect that there are many other legitimate cases, including Greys. You have spent 30 years on this one case and so I’ll never be able to debate specific “verifiable” evidence with you since I am not directly involved with any case that I can point to particular evidence. That doesn’t make me “soft and lazy.” Again, that is just insulting and a harsh judgement.

I didn’t come to you to dispute your evidence or significance (so not sure why you keep trying to convince me of it), only to see if you had some evidence that all of the other cases were lies and hoaxes. I understand your point that you have not seen any sufficient evidence and so therefore: no (sufficient) evidence = not real. There is evidence, but not “scientifically verifiable” to you. As you put it, hypnosis to you is not a credible means of ascertaining truth claims and “Anecdotal evidence is…not the basis for any such claims to be accepted as factual” (which includes whistleblower testimony).  To me though it is a mistake to throw all this evidence out. Yes, it’s not ideal evidence, but I wouldn’t dismiss it altogether. I weigh it accordingly and compare it with what might corroborate this evidence.

Yes, I do take life seriously (but not too much), but I’d rather spend my time with those that are not condescending and don’t have an “I’m smart and every else is ignorant” attitude. My main point is that–your attitude does not help your cause–it actually makes it worse. You seem frustrated that others don’t accept the validity and significance of this case, but this is why!

Cheers,

Woman Has UFO Encounter From Her Home UFO Telepathically Says Don’t Go Outside You’ll Get Hurt

(Before It's News)

Is interesting that it took place around the same of the Rendlesham Forest events, here is another case said to have occurred also around the same time, but not reported until years later:

Location: Chicopee, Massachusetts
Date: December 30 1980

Time: 2330

The witness was sleeping in her room when she heard a sound like thunder. She looked out the window and saw an orange fireball gliding over the house. She went to the kitchen and told her sister to come to the window and watch what they thought was a meteor falling into the backyard. She pulled open the kitchen curtains and saw a black diamond-shaped craft with green lights on the points settle onto the back porch roof. The green lights were not bright and the diamond was only about 10 ft across and 8 ft high. A low hum was shaking the house and rattling the back window. The object sat on the roof for a few minutes and as she prepared to go outside she heard a voice in her head say, “Don’t go outside, you’ll get hurt”. Finally the object slid horizontally off the porch and hovered over the backyard. The green lights then went off and the black diamond appeared to be blacker than the sky. It took off seemingly flying fast and slow at the same time. She does not remember going to bed, but a few hours later she woke up tucked into bed, wearing slippers that she had not been wearing earlier and her hands crossed over her chest. (?)

Cash & Landrum Family Have UFO With Helicopter Encounter Both Families Suffer Severe Radiation Poisoning

(Before It's News)

The Cash-Landrum encounter with what??

For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com

Location: Near Huffman, Texas
Date: December 29 1980

Time: evening

Three occupants of a 1980 Olds Cutlass, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Vickie’s seven year old grandson, Colby, were on their way home through the southern tip of the east Texas piney woods when they noticed a large light above the trees some distance ahead. The light was briefly lost from view, but they saw it again when after rounding a curve they found themselves on a straight stretch of a two lane road on Highway FM 1485. This time it was approaching them, floating above the road at less than treetop height and belching flames from its bottom. Cash and the Landrums were only about 130 feet from the object. Escape was out of the question because the road was narrow and the shoulders soggy. If Betty Cash, who was driving, tried to turn around, she knew the car would get stuck. There was no other traffic on the desolate highway, so she stepped outside, as did the elder Landrum. But Colby’s frantic screams brought her back into the car.

The object, intensely bright and dull metallic silver in color, was shaped like a huge, upright diamond, with its top and bottom cut off so that they were flat rather than pointed. Small blue lights ringed the center, and periodically over the next five minutes flames shot out of the bottom, flaring outward to create a cone affect. All the while the witnesses felt their faces burning. The car was too hot to touch. At one point Vickie Landrum, leaning out the front window, steadied herself by putting her hands on the dashboard, only to find it molded to the shape of her fingers. A few minutes later, when Cash tried to get back into the car, the door handle burned her fingers. With a final blast of fire and heat, the UFO ascended slowly into the sky. But just as it was clearing the treetops, helicopters flew in from all directions. The helicopters and the UFO then were lost from view.

The three resumed their journey. Five minutes later they arrived at the intersection of FM 1485 and FM 2100 where they saw the UFO and the helicopters again. Cash counted 23 helicopters, all clearly visible because of the light from the diamond-shaped object was reflecting off them. Many of the aircraft were subsequently identified as large, double-rotor Boeing CH-47 Chinooks, used by the Army and Marines. The whole incident lasted a total of 20 minutes. Soon Betty Cash became extremely ill with large knots forming on her neck and scalp that soon became blisters. Her skin reddened and her eyes swelled. She vomited and experienced severe diarrhea. The Landrums suffered similar distress, but not quite as intense. In the morning Cash had lapse into near unconsciousness. She was eventually taken to the hospital in January 3 1981; she could not walk and had lost large patches of skin and clumps of hair. She was released after 12 days, but had to return to the hospital for another 15 days. A doctor who examined the patients reported strong evidence of damage as a result of ionizing radiation with the possibility of infrared or ultraviolet component as well. Betty Cash never fully recovered and suffered for years to come and in an ironic twist of fate she died on the anniversary of the bizarre encounter in December 29 1999, some say as a result of the initial encounter 19 years before.

Case Closed: MUFON Investigators close March 2014 UFO cases – Part 1

(Before It's News)

Was hovering disc UFO observing train crossing lights over Colorado?

The jury remains out on exactly what intelligence is operating UFOs in our skies, but one Colorado witness at Gunbarrel who was stopped at a train gate crossing reports the disc-shaped object hovered above him under 500 feet and then moved on once the train was gone, according to March 1, 2014, testimony in Case 54385.

Colorado Field Investigators Richard Evans and Deborah Evans investigated and closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

The witness was driving home from a friend’s home in Gunbarrel about midnight on September 8, 2007.

“Got to the train tracks,” the witness stated. “A train was coming and the boom gates came down.”

But then he looked up.

“Looked up while waiting for train to pass as I was sitting in my car. Saw a gray disc object hovering and watched this object for five minutes.”

Once the train passed and the gates rose, the witness continued driving.

“I proceeded to go east on highway 119 to Longmont.”

Looking back, the witness noticed the object was now moving – and going in the opposite direction.

“The possibility that the object was a balloon was carefully discussed, but the close proximity and lack of even the slightest movement rules out a balloon or even tethered balloon,” the field investigators stated in their report.

Michigan man, 78, describes silent ‘saucer-like’ object

A 78-year-old Michigan man recalls a UFO encounter in 1943 “as if it happened yesterday,” according to March 2, 2014, testimony in Case 54412.

The witness was a child outside playing in the dirt behind a cottage about 10 miles outside of Ludington when the object came into view.

“I saw a saucer-like object flying toward me,” the witness stated. “It then stopped over Hamlin Lake and after a second, went back the way it came from the other side of Hamlin Lake and on perhaps in the direction of Lake Michigan.”

The witness described the object.

“It didn’t make any noise and I didn’t see any windows. It just looked like a flying saucer. The speed was relatively slow and it seemed to stop for a moment over about the middle of the lake there and then reverse course going back in the direction it had come as if to say, ‘Oh, I’m going in the wrong direction.’”

Michigan Field Investigator Marie Cisneros investigated and closed the case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

“I spoke to the witness by phone and he stated that when a small child he witnessed an object coming towards him at Hamlin Lake. He was at an area called Sunset Bay which at the time was quite desolate with not many people habiting it. He states he was about six or seven at the time and was playing in the dirt with ants on the dirt dead-end road in back of the cottage about 10 miles outside of Ludington, Michigan. This object stopped at about the middle of the lake. He stated that it seemed to go back towards Lake Michigan – back along the same route. He states he was alone and there were no other witnesses. When asked if he could estimate its size, he stated that if a car was round, the object would be about that size. He stated it didn’t make any noise and he could see no discernible ‘windows.’ He states it ‘looked like a flying saucer.’ He feels the speed was relatively slow and it seemed to stop for a moment over about the middle of the lake and then reversed its course, going back in the direction it had come.”

California witness recalls UFO ‘bigger than mountain it came over’

A California witness recalls an encounter with a UFO “bigger than the mountain it came over” along Boca Reservoir near Truckee, according to March 3, 2014, testimony in Case 54423.

The reporting witness and a friend were about to go to sleep in a vehicle for the night while about 20 parents remained outside partying by a campfire when the object was first noticed on the other side of the river from where they were camping. The events occurred on August 10, 1985.

“There were no trees on that side of river,” the reporting witness stated. “It was a bare hill. This object was enormous! Bigger than the mountain it came over.”

The witness described the object.

“It proceeded very slowly over the mountain and directly over our camp. It had triangular-shaped lights all over the bottom as though there were smaller triangular-shaped ships on the bottom. The lights were red, green, and yellow triangular patterns – with white lights around them.”

The object could also be heard.

“It simply made a humming sound and flew right over us. There were pine trees on our side so right after it went over us; we could not see it anymore.”

California Assistant State Director Devlin Rugne investigated. He was unable to communicate with the witness, but stated in his report, “If we are to take this report at face value, I am closing the case out as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle based on its size and that ‘It had triangular shaped lights all over the bottom.’”

Mississippi couple reports low flying triangle UFO

A Mississippi couple driving southbound along Highway 45 between Saltillo and Tupelo report watching a black, triangle-shaped UFO that moved close to them, according to March 4, 2014, testimony in Case 54442.

The couple first noticed “three bright, white lights” that first appeared to be disc-shaped about 10:15 p.m. on February 7, 2014.

“We slowed down and began to watch it because the lights were so brightly glowing white,” the reporting witness stated. “It was in the distance at this point. It quickly changed direction and altitude.”

Mississippi Field Investigator Timothy Soper closed this case as a hoax. Many pieces of false information were included in the original report.

North Carolina UFO ‘size of storage shed’ moves toward ground

A North Carolina witness driving along Montford Cove Road near Union Mills reported watching a bright object moving toward the ground level that was about the size of “a large sized storage shed” when it reached the tree top level about 8:44 p.m. on March 4, 2014, according to testimony in Case 54460.

The witness was driving home from work and had just passed a church and a convenience store when a light in the sky first appeared to be a star.

The North Carolina witness was driving along this stretch of Montford Cove Road north of Union Mills when an object the ‘size of a large storage shed’ moved toward ground level. (Credit: Google)

“Remembering that it was cloudy, I said to myself, ‘That’s no star,’” the witness stated. “When I first saw it, approximately a mile away, maybe less, it was about the size of a basketball maybe a little larger. As I got closer, it was about the size of like a large sized storage shed.”

The object then appeared to descend behind a nearby hill.

North Carolina Field Investigator Sanford Davis investigated. After repeated attempts, the witness could not be reached. Davis closed the case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.

“It was most likely a helicopter or a light engine plane,” he stated.

Hovering triangle UFO photographed by Florida witness

A Port St. Lucie, FL, witness reported watching and photographing a triangle-shaped UFO that hovered and “moved erratically” in the sky for seven hours, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54490.

View the full photo here.

The event began about 11 p.m. on March 2, 2014, when the witness was at Jensen Beach and first saw the unidentified object. The report was filed by Florida MUFON State Section Director Mary Margaret Zimmer for the witness.

“Witness saw a dark gray object with bright lights on the bottom,” Zimmer stated. “The object appeared triangular in shape with blue light around the perimeter. A dime (at arm’s length) would cover the object. The object appeared ‘thick’ and about 50 feet long. The object hovered, flashed light and moved erratically.”

The case was investigated by Florida Field Investigators Louise Kizer and Mary Margaret Zimmer. After multiple attempts to reach the witness, the case was closed as Insufficient Evidence.

Florida Dad, kids chase low flying orb UFO

A Florida witness in Miami driving near 8th Street and 42nd Avenue with the kids in the backseat reported chasing and photographing an orb-shaped UFO moving low over commercial buildings, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54488.

When the Florida Dad driving through Miami with kids in the backseat saw the low flying orb UFO, he decided to follow the object and get a photo. (Credit: Google)

The incident occurred just after 7:15 p.m. on February 28, 2014, as the witness noticed a “single light orb floating” nearby and became curious.

“Had the kids so decided to drive to it,” the witness stated. “But traffic began to build. I can see it going from one building top to another – low. When I couldn’t get around traffic I looked to the right and noticed another set across the street. This one was flicking in three set pulses and also low – above homes. This one was in my residence area.”

The witness quickly turned and began to follow the object.

“I managed to get some video at dusk as it flicked low and silently above homes towards the northwest. I had the kids with me, so after videoing it, I called off the tracking.”

The witness provided one image and one video with the MUFON report, which was filed on March 6, 2014. See Image 1 and Video 1.

Florida Field Investigator Thomas Branham closed the case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.

“I feel that there is a distinct possibility of a drone,” he stated. “The speed, flight movement, size, and closeness to the ground could all be consistent with the movement of a drone.  A recent video of a drone filmed in New York City verifies that a small, modified, non-military drone can be operated from great distances which the witness was skeptical of.  Also the pattern of the blinking light that seemed to come in a series of threes could be preset on the drone.

“Ruling out other possibilities I feel that the most credible possibility of this sighting is a drone.”

North Carolina witness ‘not afraid’ as low flying disc UFO moves away

A North Carolina witness in the Yanceyville-Blanch area reported not being afraid while watching a large, low flying, disc-shaped UFO because it was moving away, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54491.

The witness was outside with the family dog and watching the night sky when the object was first seen about 10:30 p.m. on January 15, 2014.

“It came from the right side of the house as I was facing west,” the witness stated. “It was so large I saw it immediately with peripheral vision and turned slightly to my right to see it track rapidly toward the west.”

The witness described the object’s movement.

“Movement was rapid but slow enough for me to get a good look to see defined edges; that it was oval from my vantage point and that it looked like it had clouds inside. I realized it was probably reflecting ground lights instead. There was no question that it was a disk of some sort. The sky was crystal clear with stars.”

North Carolina Field Investigator Sanford Davis closed this case as an Unknown.

“The witness said the object moved at about 60 mph in a straight line before it disappeared over the treetop,” Davis stated. “The  total sighting lasted about 15 seconds. I Checked MUFON’s and NUFORC’s database for that time period and found  no other similar sightings. The witness seemed intelligent and articulate. This was not her first sighing.”

California ghost town UFO witnesses give chase

A California witness recalls a late-night encounter at Calico Ghost Town with a silent 300-foot-wide triangle UFO just 300 feet off of the ground that outran his attempts to catch up to it, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54492.

The witness and three friends were sleeping outside at Calico during a September 1973 visit when the object was first seen about 2 a.m. One of the reporting witnesses’ friends pointed the object out.

“I rolled over and saw what I thought was the moon shining through a weather balloon and told Mike, ‘It’s just a weather balloon,’ and rolled back over.”

But his friend answered back, “That isn’t a balloon.”

“When I rolled over onto my back, I could now see a large triangular craft approximately 300 feet across and approximately 300 feet off of the ground slowly moving over the top of us. What I thought was the moon shining through a balloon now looked more like an observation bubble under the nose of the craft, and it was glowing a dull light purple in color.”

The witness described the object.

“As it moved over it made no sound, and I saw no lights, but as it cleared the moon you could see the light reflect off the craft and it gave it the color of gun metal blue, and the edges appeared to be rounded. It continued its slow moving progress away from us following the hills of the desert, and flying just above hill top level.”

The witness and one of his companions decided to give chase on foot.

“We followed running up hills, then down one and up another, but the craft got further away each time, so we stopped and just watched. I saw no sign of an engine and we heard no sounds.”

The witness stated that they were lucky to have seen it due to its stealth appearance and movement.

“Had it not been for the fact it flew right over the top of us, we would never even had known it was there. My feeling was that the craft was running in stealth mode, no lights and at very low levels to avoid detection. What struck me so odd was back then it was supposed to be fast moving, skinny disk-shaped objects, like in ‘Chariots of the Gods.’ I did not see anything like what we saw until I watched a program on TV describing the same thing I saw, except ours did not have any of the lights mentioned.”

California Chief Investigator Cinde Costello investigated and closed this case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.

“From many years of experience with viewing the sky at night, I’d say that there is a very good possibility that this object may have been a cloud crossing the moon,” Costello stated. “The witness was only 13 years old when this occurred, an age when even under normal conditions, many otherwise mundane things tend to take on a spookier quality than they truly are.  On top of it all, research has proven that some of our memories aren’t exactly as accurate as we give them credit for. 

“As a rule, that location in the summertime experiences monsoonal conditions, and many clouds are usually present in the sky, rain or no rain.  His ‘Moon shining through a weather balloon’ description does sound typical for a cloud, and I feel certain that his reported distance of the object was much further away from them than he estimates.   Without more to work with here, (she was unable to contact the witness), I’m going to go ahead and class as such: Misidentification. IFO-Natural Phenomenon.”

Case Closed: MUFON Investigators close March 2014 UFO cases – Part 1

(Before It's News)

Was hovering disc UFO observing train crossing lights over Colorado?

The jury remains out on exactly what intelligence is operating UFOs in our skies, but one Colorado witness at Gunbarrel who was stopped at a train gate crossing reports the disc-shaped object hovered above him under 500 feet and then moved on once the train was gone, according to March 1, 2014, testimony in Case 54385.

Colorado Field Investigators Richard Evans and Deborah Evans investigated and closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

The witness was driving home from a friend’s home in Gunbarrel about midnight on September 8, 2007.

“Got to the train tracks,” the witness stated. “A train was coming and the boom gates came down.”

But then he looked up.

“Looked up while waiting for train to pass as I was sitting in my car. Saw a gray disc object hovering and watched this object for five minutes.”

Once the train passed and the gates rose, the witness continued driving.

“I proceeded to go east on highway 119 to Longmont.”

Looking back, the witness noticed the object was now moving – and going in the opposite direction.

“The possibility that the object was a balloon was carefully discussed, but the close proximity and lack of even the slightest movement rules out a balloon or even tethered balloon,” the field investigators stated in their report.

Michigan man, 78, describes silent ‘saucer-like’ object

A 78-year-old Michigan man recalls a UFO encounter in 1943 “as if it happened yesterday,” according to March 2, 2014, testimony in Case 54412.

The witness was a child outside playing in the dirt behind a cottage about 10 miles outside of Ludington when the object came into view.

“I saw a saucer-like object flying toward me,” the witness stated. “It then stopped over Hamlin Lake and after a second, went back the way it came from the other side of Hamlin Lake and on perhaps in the direction of Lake Michigan.”

The witness described the object.

“It didn’t make any noise and I didn’t see any windows. It just looked like a flying saucer. The speed was relatively slow and it seemed to stop for a moment over about the middle of the lake there and then reverse course going back in the direction it had come as if to say, ‘Oh, I’m going in the wrong direction.’”

Michigan Field Investigator Marie Cisneros investigated and closed the case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

“I spoke to the witness by phone and he stated that when a small child he witnessed an object coming towards him at Hamlin Lake. He was at an area called Sunset Bay which at the time was quite desolate with not many people habiting it. He states he was about six or seven at the time and was playing in the dirt with ants on the dirt dead-end road in back of the cottage about 10 miles outside of Ludington, Michigan. This object stopped at about the middle of the lake. He stated that it seemed to go back towards Lake Michigan – back along the same route. He states he was alone and there were no other witnesses. When asked if he could estimate its size, he stated that if a car was round, the object would be about that size. He stated it didn’t make any noise and he could see no discernible ‘windows.’ He states it ‘looked like a flying saucer.’ He feels the speed was relatively slow and it seemed to stop for a moment over about the middle of the lake and then reversed its course, going back in the direction it had come.”

California witness recalls UFO ‘bigger than mountain it came over’

A California witness recalls an encounter with a UFO “bigger than the mountain it came over” along Boca Reservoir near Truckee, according to March 3, 2014, testimony in Case 54423.

The reporting witness and a friend were about to go to sleep in a vehicle for the night while about 20 parents remained outside partying by a campfire when the object was first noticed on the other side of the river from where they were camping. The events occurred on August 10, 1985.

“There were no trees on that side of river,” the reporting witness stated. “It was a bare hill. This object was enormous! Bigger than the mountain it came over.”

The witness described the object.

“It proceeded very slowly over the mountain and directly over our camp. It had triangular-shaped lights all over the bottom as though there were smaller triangular-shaped ships on the bottom. The lights were red, green, and yellow triangular patterns – with white lights around them.”

The object could also be heard.

“It simply made a humming sound and flew right over us. There were pine trees on our side so right after it went over us; we could not see it anymore.”

California Assistant State Director Devlin Rugne investigated. He was unable to communicate with the witness, but stated in his report, “If we are to take this report at face value, I am closing the case out as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle based on its size and that ‘It had triangular shaped lights all over the bottom.’”

Mississippi couple reports low flying triangle UFO

A Mississippi couple driving southbound along Highway 45 between Saltillo and Tupelo report watching a black, triangle-shaped UFO that moved close to them, according to March 4, 2014, testimony in Case 54442.

The couple first noticed “three bright, white lights” that first appeared to be disc-shaped about 10:15 p.m. on February 7, 2014.

“We slowed down and began to watch it because the lights were so brightly glowing white,” the reporting witness stated. “It was in the distance at this point. It quickly changed direction and altitude.”

Mississippi Field Investigator Timothy Soper closed this case as a hoax. Many pieces of false information were included in the original report.

North Carolina UFO ‘size of storage shed’ moves toward ground

A North Carolina witness driving along Montford Cove Road near Union Mills reported watching a bright object moving toward the ground level that was about the size of “a large sized storage shed” when it reached the tree top level about 8:44 p.m. on March 4, 2014, according to testimony in Case 54460.

The witness was driving home from work and had just passed a church and a convenience store when a light in the sky first appeared to be a star.

“Remembering that it was cloudy, I said to myself, ‘That’s no star,’” the witness stated. “When I first saw it, approximately a mile away, maybe less, it was about the size of a basketball maybe a little larger. As I got closer, it was about the size of like a large sized storage shed.”

The object then appeared to descend behind a nearby hill.

North Carolina Field Investigator Sanford Davis investigated. After repeated attempts, the witness could not be reached. Davis closed the case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.

“It was most likely a helicopter or a light engine plane,” he stated.

Hovering triangle UFO photographed by Florida witness

A Port St. Lucie, FL, witness reported watching and photographing a triangle-shaped UFO that hovered and “moved erratically” in the sky for seven hours, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54490.

View the full photo here.

The event began about 11 p.m. on March 2, 2014, when the witness was at Jensen Beach and first saw the unidentified object. The report was filed by Florida MUFON State Section Director Mary Margaret Zimmer for the witness.

“Witness saw a dark gray object with bright lights on the bottom,” Zimmer stated. “The object appeared triangular in shape with blue light around the perimeter. A dime (at arm’s length) would cover the object. The object appeared ‘thick’ and about 50 feet long. The object hovered, flashed light and moved erratically.”

The case was investigated by Florida Field Investigators Louise Kizer and Mary Margaret Zimmer. After multiple attempts to reach the witness, the case was closed as Insufficient Evidence.

Florida Dad, kids chase low flying orb UFO

A Florida witness in Miami driving near 8th Street and 42nd Avenue with the kids in the backseat reported chasing and photographing an orb-shaped UFO moving low over commercial buildings, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54488.

When the Florida Dad driving through Miami with kids in the backseat saw the low flying orb UFO, he decided to follow the object and get a photo. (Credit: Google)

The incident occurred just after 7:15 p.m. on February 28, 2014, as the witness noticed a “single light orb floating” nearby and became curious.

“Had the kids so decided to drive to it,” the witness stated. “But traffic began to build. I can see it going from one building top to another – low. When I couldn’t get around traffic I looked to the right and noticed another set across the street. This one was flicking in three set pulses and also low – above homes. This one was in my residence area.”

The witness quickly turned and began to follow the object.

“I managed to get some video at dusk as it flicked low and silently above homes towards the northwest. I had the kids with me, so after videoing it, I called off the tracking.”

The witness provided one image and one video with the MUFON report, which was filed on March 6, 2014. See Image 1 and Video 1.

Florida Field Investigator Thomas Branham closed the case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.

“I feel that there is a distinct possibility of a drone,” he stated. “The speed, flight movement, size, and closeness to the ground could all be consistent with the movement of a drone.  A recent video of a drone filmed in New York City verifies that a small, modified, non-military drone can be operated from great distances which the witness was skeptical of.  Also the pattern of the blinking light that seemed to come in a series of threes could be preset on the drone.

“Ruling out other possibilities I feel that the most credible possibility of this sighting is a drone.”

North Carolina witness ‘not afraid’ as low flying disc UFO moves away

A North Carolina witness in the Yanceyville-Blanch area reported not being afraid while watching a large, low flying, disc-shaped UFO because it was moving away, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54491.

The witness was outside with the family dog and watching the night sky when the object was first seen about 10:30 p.m. on January 15, 2014.

“It came from the right side of the house as I was facing west,” the witness stated. “It was so large I saw it immediately with peripheral vision and turned slightly to my right to see it track rapidly toward the west.”

The witness described the object’s movement.

“Movement was rapid but slow enough for me to get a good look to see defined edges; that it was oval from my vantage point and that it looked like it had clouds inside. I realized it was probably reflecting ground lights instead. There was no question that it was a disk of some sort. The sky was crystal clear with stars.”

North Carolina Field Investigator Sanford Davis closed this case as an Unknown.

“The witness said the object moved at about 60 mph in a straight line before it disappeared over the treetop,” Davis stated. “The  total sighting lasted about 15 seconds. I Checked MUFON’s and NUFORC’s database for that time period and found  no other similar sightings. The witness seemed intelligent and articulate. This was not her first sighing.”

California ghost town UFO witnesses give chase

A California witness recalls a late-night encounter at Calico Ghost Town with a silent 300-foot-wide triangle UFO just 300 feet off of the ground that outran his attempts to catch up to it, according to March 6, 2014, testimony in Case 54492.

The witness and three friends were sleeping outside at Calico during a September 1973 visit when the object was first seen about 2 a.m. One of the reporting witnesses’ friends pointed the object out.

“I rolled over and saw what I thought was the moon shining through a weather balloon and told Mike, ‘It’s just a weather balloon,’ and rolled back over.”

But his friend answered back, “That isn’t a balloon.”

“When I rolled over onto my back, I could now see a large triangular craft approximately 300 feet across and approximately 300 feet off of the ground slowly moving over the top of us. What I thought was the moon shining through a balloon now looked more like an observation bubble under the nose of the craft, and it was glowing a dull light purple in color.”

The witness described the object.

“As it moved over it made no sound, and I saw no lights, but as it cleared the moon you could see the light reflect off the craft and it gave it the color of gun metal blue, and the edges appeared to be rounded. It continued its slow moving progress away from us following the hills of the desert, and flying just above hill top level.”

The witness and one of his companions decided to give chase on foot.

“We followed running up hills, then down one and up another, but the craft got further away each time, so we stopped and just watched. I saw no sign of an engine and we heard no sounds.”

The witness stated that they were lucky to have seen it due to its stealth appearance and movement.

“Had it not been for the fact it flew right over the top of us, we would never even had known it was there. My feeling was that the craft was running in stealth mode, no lights and at very low levels to avoid detection. What struck me so odd was back then it was supposed to be fast moving, skinny disk-shaped objects, like in ‘Chariots of the Gods.’ I did not see anything like what we saw until I watched a program on TV describing the same thing I saw, except ours did not have any of the lights mentioned.”

California Chief Investigator Cinde Costello investigated and closed this case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.

“From many years of experience with viewing the sky at night, I’d say that there is a very good possibility that this object may have been a cloud crossing the moon,” Costello stated. “The witness was only 13 years old when this occurred, an age when even under normal conditions, many otherwise mundane things tend to take on a spookier quality than they truly are.  On top of it all, research has proven that some of our memories aren’t exactly as accurate as we give them credit for. 

“As a rule, that location in the summertime experiences monsoonal conditions, and many clouds are usually present in the sky, rain or no rain.  His ‘Moon shining through a weather balloon’ description does sound typical for a cloud, and I feel certain that his reported distance of the object was much further away from them than he estimates.   Without more to work with here, (she was unable to contact the witness), I’m going to go ahead and class as such: Misidentification. IFO-Natural Phenomenon.”

UFO mania: Mystery of the Tayos Cave - Legendary Metal Library Found in Ecuador

In what maybe one of the biggest discoveries ever, a team of explorers is claiming that they have found the legendary golden library and other mysterious treasures in the Tayos Cave system in Ecuador.

The team announced that they accidentally found some hidden tunnels that were obviously dug out artificially sometime in the ancient past while inside one of the main chambers.  The team was able to follow one of these tunnels for approximately ½ mile and came upon a large room containing the golden library and various other treasures.

Below is a list of what the explorers claim to have found in this chamber:

As of right now, the team has only announced their findings onto a radio show and no other announcements have been made so the jury is still out as too whether their claims are completely true.

The team did claim to have samples of at least one of the metal books, one golden plate and several small statues that they will be submitting to professional testing so hopefully this will give us answers shortly.

Texas neighbors watch low flying triangle UFO (Photos)

(Before It's News)

A Texas witness at Gainesville reported an “entire block filled with people” watched a large, triangle-shaped UFO that moved low over her neighborhood about 11 p.m. on June 26, 2014, according to testimony in Case 57403 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was returning home from work and traveling along Tyler Street in Gainesville when she noticed the entire block filled with people looking up into the sky and talking about a UFO.

“Many took footage on cell phones,” the witness stated. “The lights were lined up horizontally, and then right before it disappeared, the lights instantly lined up vertically as if the object turned on its side and then sped away.”

The witness said the object was very large.

“Looked like a solid object larger than a plane. No feelings other than awe.”

The witness said that a relative took cell phone video. Three images were provided with the MUFON report, which was filed on June 27, 2014 – Image 1, Image 2 and Image 3.

Gainesville is a city in and the county seat of Cooke County, TX, population 16,002.

Texas MUFON is investigating. Texas has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. Texas had 30 UFO reports in May 2014 – the 4th highest reporting state – while California had 102 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.

VERY CLOSE SAUCER ENCOUNTER IN BALTIMORE VIRGINIA

(Before It's News)

JUNE 2, 2014          …..      NEW BALTIMORE VIRGINIA

Shape: Disk – Duration: 00:01 – I have no explanation about this disc-shaped object I saw before it disappeared.  I live in Fauquier County, Virginia. I left my house with a friend around dusk. I was driving down Vint Hill Road due North toward Manassas, VA. My friend looked out the passenger window and made a comment about some cows in a field.  I then turned the music up and continued to drive. As we came to an area in the road where you have to slow down for a sharp curve, my friend made a comment about something he saw hovering over in the field out the right window.  

1500 ft. away. I immediately slowed to a stop.  I put my hazard lights on starring at the object. It was sitting in the air almost motionless just hovering. I then turned the music down and proceeded to tell my friend to record the flying object. For about 15 to 30 seconds it stayed in one spot above the field.  As the object slowly moved almost effortlessly in my direction, my friend began recording. It stayed completely level, not moving up or down just in a straight line toward my vehicle. I could make out the details of the saucer-like shape. It had individual bright blue circular lights wrapping around the center of a metallic silver reflective surface. 

At this point I was in shock and disbelief of what I was witnessing. So entranced by the gleaming lights and saucer, I was completely oblivious if any cars were going to rear end me.  All of a sudden, it just stopped less the 200 yds. away from my vehicle. At this point it started slowly spinning. Now knowing exactly what I was witnessing, I felt it time to leave as quickly as possible. Looking back within seconds of me continuing down the road. I looked back and the object was no longer there.  My friend and I immediately scanned the sky around us and it was gone.

National UFO Alert: Seven states report 284 June cases

(Before It's News)

The National UFO Alert Rating System has been updated for July 2014, with California, Texas, Florida, Missouri, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania moving to a UFO Alert 2 or 3 as the highest reporting states during the month of June 2014, filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

California was the leading high-reporting state in June with 107 cases, up from 102 May cases, 80 April cases, 103 March cases, 59 February cases, and 102 January cases – the single state listed as an Alert 2 with 100 or more cases. The other top reporting states had 25 or more cases and are an Alert 3. They are Texas, Florida, Missouri, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Those states in a UFO Alert 4 category with 13 or more reports include: Ohio, Michigan, Colorado, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, South Carolina, Nevada, Oregon, Arizona and Wisconsin.

All other states move to a UFO Alert 5 category with lower numbers of UFO activity. The Watch States – with 10 or more cases – are Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee.

MUFON released June statistics July 1, where the total number of reported UFO sightings is listed by state. The entire country was moved back to the lowest alert level – UFO Alert 5.

California takes the lead with 107 cases; Texas, 38; Florida, 29; Missouri, 29; New York, 28; North Carolina, 27; and Pennsylvania, 26.

Those states with 13 or more reports, the next reporting tier level, are a UFO Alert 4 status: Ohio, 22; Michigan, 22; Colorado, 21; Washington, 18; Illinois, 17; New Jersey, 16; South Carolina, 16; Nevada, 14; Oregon, 14; Arizona, 13; and Wisconsin, 13.

Our Watch States this month are – with 10 reports or more: Alabama, 10; Kentucky, 10; and Tennessee, 10.

The sphere remains the most-reported UFO shape with 156 cases; up from 129 May cases; 150 April cases, 131 March cases, 91 February cases; and 240 January cases. Other shape reports include: Circle, 73; Star-Like, 72; Triangle, 68; Other, 57; Unknown, 56; Disc, 52; Fireball, 34; Oval, 33; Cylinder, 22; Cigar, 19; Boomerang, 17; Diamond, 15; N/A, 13; Teardrop, 7; Flash, 6; Cone, 5; Egg, 5; Bullet/Missile, 5; Blimp, 3; Saturn-like, 2; and Cross, 1.

The object’s distance from the witness includes: Less than 100 feet, 92 cases; 101 to 500 feet, 102 cases; 501 feet to one mile, 166 cases; over one mile, 186 cases; unknown, 246; and no value stated, 21.

In addition, there were “28 landings, hoverings, or takeoffs reported and 2 entities observed.”

The most interesting UFO reports do not necessarily come from high reporting states – but those states with higher numbers do account for some of the most interesting evidence to study. While UFO sightings seem to pop up randomly around the country, this list is meant to offer a small insight into where Americans are filing reports.

Daily 2 Cents: Why Exorcisms Are So Fascinating — Unusual Apparition — Mystical Bees and Possessed Snakes Killing Boko Haram Members

(Before It's News)

Why Exorcisms Are So Fascinating

Each year, Hollywood releases at least one new film about demonic possession. Nicholas Barber explains why these movies are still so popular.

It’s the same old story. Someone starts gnashing their teeth and scratching the furniture. Someone else declares that they’ve been possessed by a demon. A third party scoffs at the idea, but a priest is soon brandishing a crucifix and shouting something in Latin. And eventually, about an hour later, the teeth-gnasher returns to normal. Horror films about exorcisms haven’t moved on since William Friedkin’s The Exorcist terrified audiences in 1973. Remarkably, the sub-genre may now be more popular than ever.

The latest example is Deliver Us from Evil, starring Eric Bana and Édgar Ramirez. But there has been at least one Hollywood exorcism movie every year for a decade. In 2013, there was The Conjuring and The Last Exorcism: Part 2. In 2012, there was The Devil Inside. In 2011 there was The Rite, and so on back to Exorcist: The Beginning in 2004. “There’s a reason why exorcism is now a staple of cinema,” says Mark Kermode, BBC Radio 5 Live’s film critic, and a long-time champion of The Exorcist. “It’s because it’s so theatrical. The exorcism ritual is basically people in costumes reading out quite florid prose.”

Exorcisms crop up in earlier films, notably Ken Russell’s The Devils – another of Kermode’s favourites – and Mother Joan of the Angels, a Cannes prizewinner from 1961. But it was The Exorcist that defined the sub-genre as it exists today. “Everyone knows that you cannot use the word ‘exorcist’ without thinking of that one film,” says Kermode. “It’s part of horror shorthand. You can’t say ‘chainsaw’ without referring to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you can’t say ‘psycho’ without referring to Psycho, and it’s the same with The Exorcist. It’s become a meme.” Read more at BBC

Ufologist Stanton Friedman recovering

As I reported Sunday, ufologist Stanton Friedman suffered a mild heart attack last Friday night. His friend and co-author Kathleen Marden states:

I spoke with Stan Friedman this morning and am very pleased to report that he is feeling strong and chipper. His heart enzymes have declined, so he has turned the corner. He wants me to make it clear that he will be transported to a larger hospital, only because his local facility doesn’t have the equipment to do a dye test and an echo cardiogram. This will probably occur today or Wednesday, as July 1 is a national holiday in Canada.

Well wishers can send cards to Stan at P.O. Box 958, Houlton, ME 04730. He appreciates everyone’s thoughts and prayers.

Unusual Apparition Caught on Video

From the district of Yopougon, Abidjan, in Ivory Coast. It certainly seems spectacular. This scene, to which we have previously linked, whereby those living in the West African country shout and scream and (with cell phones) record a miracle of the sun reminding one of Fatima, Medjugorje, Betania, and the apparitions of Kibeho in Rwanda on the same continent (which were preceded by similarly tremendous solar happenings and later holy images that thousands witnessed). The sun “miracle” is one thing. But starting at about 44 seconds into video and something seems to begin materializing in the flare just above the trees as the crowd cries and shouts and then goes haywire as a dark but detailed silhouette of the Blessed Mother greatly resembling the Miraculous Medal suddenly appears, disappears, and appears again in a vaguely blue cloak, the onlookers — “thousands”, according to one unconfirmed report — now in a frenzy which seemed spontaneous and unrehearsed and is the most convincing aspect. It does seem to be moving — the “Virgin” waffling and floating above trees and there is no denying the crowd reaction to something. What is It?

NOTE: I seem to remember seeing this video several years ago…though it is a dramatic video. Lon

Boko Haram Members ‘Being Killed by Mystical Bees and Mysterious Snakes Possessed by Ghosts’

Members of terror group Boko Haram have allegedly been arrested in Nigeria after fleeing a forest to escape deadly bites from “mystical bees” and “mysterious snakes”.

According to Nigerian newspaper Vanguard, the captured insurgents claimed the creatures — possessed by ghosts — had killed many Boko Haram members.

“We were told that the aggrieved people who had suffered from our deadly mission — including the ghosts of some of those we killed — are the ones turning into the snake and bees,” one militant told Vanguard. “Our leaders fled, too.”

Boko Haram made headlines worldwide for the kidnappings of 220 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State, last April.

The girls are being allegedly smuggled to Cameroon and Chad and sold as brides to militants for 2,000 naira (£7). Others are being forced to marry their abductors.

Some Boko Haram members believe the insects and reptiles are hunting the insurgents to punish them for the mass abduction.

“We decided to flee when almost all our comrades are leaving the Sambisa [Forest] because of constant attacks by snakes and bees, which we were told was as a result of Chibok abducted schoolgirls,” one insurgent said.

Boko Haram, which fights against the Westernisation of Nigeria and wants to establish an Islamic state, abducted 60 more women and girls and 31 boys in Kummabza village, Borno State, in June.

Toddlers are believed to be among the latest kidnap victims.

The militants, currently led by Abubakar Shekau, carry out deadly attacks in public places including schools, churches and police stations.

Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2002 and 2013. – Yahoo

WikiLeaks Documents Discuss Extraterrestrials, UFOs

(Before It's News)

The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In “Beyond Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.

Here’s a look at some of the mentions of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and extraterrestrials in the U.S. government cables released by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

1. Prominent Lithuanian Politician Says UFOs Directed by Russians to Exert Influence

A 2006 cable from the American Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania, recounts a cryptic comment by the Prime Minister’s adviser Albinas Januska. The cable states: “Reflecting his self-image as a patriot fighting off Russian influence, he [Januska] also warned of the existence of ‘a group of people, who are directed from the East, a group of UFOs, who are making influence from the Cosmos,’ adding elliptically that, ‘there also exists a decreasing group of persons, who are trying to rationally analyze the situation and to objectively evaluate what is happening.’”

UFOs can refer to unidentified foreign organizations as well as to unidentified flying objects; aside from his reference to the cosmos, it could seem Januska meant the former. Januska held much power in the country, as is noted in the cable: “Albinas Januska’s continuing influence in Lithuanian politics cannot be overstated. In addition to being a cunning strategist, he is extraordinarily well-connected among Lithuania’s political class.”

2. Tajik Mayor Says There’s Life on Other Planets, Peace and Unity on Earth Necessary

Tajikstan is a Central Asian country bordered by Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and China. The mayor of the Tajik city of Dushanbe, Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloev, met with U.S. Ambassador Ken Gross in 2010. Gross summarized his meeting with Ubaidulloev in a classified document later released by Wikileaks.

The talk mostly concerned opening an American corner in the city, upcoming elections, the losses suffered by Tajiks and Americans in Afghanistan, and a dam project. But the topic of extraterrestrials also entered the conversation.

Gross wrote: “[Ubaidulloev] asserted the existence of life on other planets, caveating this by noting that we should focus on solving our problems on Earth.” Gross quoted Ubaidulloev: “We know there is life on other planets, but we must make peace here first.”

The chat was not a pleasant one for Gross, who summed it up as “a right painful 90 minutes.” Gross characterized Ubaidulloev as “difficult, unpredictable, and sometimes hostile.” During their meeting, the mayor obviously lied about free elections, voluntary contributions to the dam project, and free media, according to Gross.

Rael, leader of the Raelian movement.

3. UFO Religion in Canada Allegedly Tries to Clone Humans

A couple of unclassified documents, one listed as coming from the American Embassy in Ottawa and the other from the American Consulate in Montreal, express some concern over the Raelian religion in Canada.

The Raelians believe humanity was created by extraterrestrials as a lab experiment, according to the documents. They had targeted high schools in the province of Quebec to persuade Roman Catholics to renounce their faith. The Raelians even had a plan to give students crosses to burn, according to the cables.

One of the documents cites local news analysis in stating that: “The ultimate goal of Raelians is to create life in a laboratory which would make human beings immortal and enable them to create another civilization on another planet. In the meantime … [they] want to build an embassy in Israel to welcome the Elohim when they come back in 2035. The group has also been criticized for advocating the use of genetics for eugenic attempts at improving the human race.”

At the time the cable was written, the group had claimed to have successfully cloned a human.

Other references to extraterrestrials and UFOs in the WikiLeaks documents include the following:

Nobutaka Machimura (Credit: machimura.net)

Belarussian Minister of Defense Yuriy Zhadobin said in an unclassified cable that the ministry no longer investigates paranormal phenomena as it did in Soviet times due to lack of funds. Another unclassified cable mentioned that Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Machimura believes extraterrestrials have flown spaceships near Earth and he was not happy about his government’s first official dismissal of all UFO reports. Another discussed the tsunami predictions made by French author Eric Julien who has said he was abducted by aliens. The cable states that Julien “claimed he had received information psychically,” learning that “a comet fragment would crash into the Atlantic Ocean on May 25, 2006, and cause a giant tsunami.” The prediction did not come to pass.

D.N.A. Reveals Humans Are Someone Else’s Product (VIDEO)

(Before It's News)

Our genes have an intelligently designed “manufacturer’s stamp” inside them, written aeons ago elsewhere in our galaxy? Such a “designer label” would be an indelible stamp of a master extraterrestrial civilization that preceded us by many millions or billions of years. As their ultimate legacy, they recast the Milky Way in their own biological image.

What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad… This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland, and we will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all were offering is the truth – nothing more.

Farmer wants reparations from aliens for crop circle damage

(Before It's News)

A crop circle appeared in the Czech Republic town of Boskovice on Saturday, June 28.

This large pattern reportedly appeared overnight, occupying nearly 65,000 square feet of Jan Karlik’s corn field. And he is understandably furious. The crop circle has attracted lots of attention from curious individuals who come into the field, causing additional crop damage to the already approximately $1,000 worth of damage caused by the design. Karlik wants reparations from whoever created the crop circle. He states, “I don’t care where they were from, even if they are aliens, they need to be made to pay.”

The Croatian Times describes this design as “a 4-pointed star, framed by a circle with mysterious Stonehenge-shaped blocks set in a smaller circle.” A local government spokesperson explains, “The corn is not broken, it’s just bent to the ground. But it is beginning to attract a lot of attention and the farmer wants his land protected from curious visitors who are likely to make the matter worse if they start walking over the ground as well.”

Farmers in England whose fields become targets of crop circles are all too familiar with the frustration of crop circle enthusiasts trampling their fields to observe the formations. That is why a crop circle access pass program was launched last year. This pass program works by granting purchasers of the pass access to participating fields, requiring the pass holders to agree to a set of rules that ensure the respectful use of the farmers’ crops. Participating farmers split the proceeds from the access pass sales.

Unfortunately for Karlik, no such program exists in the Czech Republic. The Croatian Times reports that local police are “keeping an open mind.” And a police spokesperson states, “Extraterrestrial civilisations and the influence of air vortices are not excluded, but we are currently concentrating on looking for human culprits.”

Trailer Park Encounter

(Before It's News)

A friend in Canada told me about a large orange orb that recently passed over his house…similar to an object he encountered, but much closer, several years ago. I started digging into the archives and found another orb sighting that progressed into a startling event for the witnesses:

Springboro, PA – 7/1/2000: Hello, It’s 5/24/10 – I’m 26 year’s old with two little girls…

I don’t really know who to tell my story to.

I’ve had these strange sorts of events happening to me throughout my life. They were coupled with different feelings… confusion, fear, disbelief.

None of it really made sense until I saw in detail what I’m about to tell you. I knew that everything I had questioned before was no longer questionable. It was undisputed in my mind. It has been going on my entire life and now there is finally an event that proves (to me) that this is real.

I’ll start by telling you that my cousin Bud was with me when this happened… He has been in the navy now for about 8 years. He is a trustworthy person and his word means a lot to everyone that knows him. Not only is it me telling the story, but he can verify that what I’m telling you is true.

My cousin and myself were sitting on the back porch of my house (which was also my bedroom). It was my bedroom at the time because it was a room enclosed with glass walls. Some of the sections of the glass had been removed and either had screens remaining or nothing left in them at all. Since it was summer, this wasn’t really a problem. I actually loved being in a room that allowed me to look outside at nature and even the stars.

We had a couch-bed in the room that was unfolded at the time. It was unfolded for most of the summer so that my cousin could sleep over and “hang out” with me. The backside of the couch-bed was placed against the glass, so the unfolded bed occupied the space in the room facing the house.

We were laying in bed trying to sleep but we spent most of our time talking instead. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a red glowing orb that came into view from behind the house and was slowly moving across the sky.

I got Bud’s attention and we both watched the orb move across the treeline that was north of the trailer park. It seemed to not be as far away as a plane should be. It look to be about the size of a basketball approximately 50 yards away. I then realized that it was getting closer and that it clearly was not a plane.

As it moved across the sky, we watched as this incredible UFO was slowly moving toward a treeline where we assumed it would disappear out of our lives forever.

But instead of disappearing into the sky… I could still see it through the trees moving towards the ground. I could clearly see it flickering through the trees and I would estimate it to be approximately 10 feet off of the ground as it entered the field on the left. It had clearly made a 90 degree turn. At this point in time I realized that it was probably in the field that was on the other side of the treeline. (Treeline: small patch of woods separating the trailer park and a field.)

It traveled the length of the field before I could not see it through the trees anymore. I would estimate the length of the field to be about 200 yards.

My cousin and myself sat in awe even after we could not see the UFO anymore. He turned to me and said “let’s go check it out!” I sternly answered with, “hell no! are you f**king crazy??” I was not sure what I had just seen but I had a gut feeling that I did not want to find out. So, we waited… waited… two young boys waiting to see something else as amazing as what they had just witnessed.

Then it happened…

A flash, as if someone had taken a picture from a camera, appeared at my friend Serena’s trailer. It was on the other side of her trailer, preventing me from seeing the source of the flash.

Approximately two minutes later, another flash… this time, from the side of her trailer. I still couldn’t clearly see the source of the flash.

At this point, my cousin and I were starting to think something strange was happening.

A few moments later, another flash. This time, I could clearly see the source of the flash… nothing. It appeared as if the flash was angled towards Serena’s house, although there was no source of the flash. There was absolutely nothing visible to the naked eye that created this OBVIOUS flash. Bud and myself both KNEW that flashes that are that distinct do NOT come from NOTHING.

We waited about five more minutes still staring out into the trailer court through my glass room. We were now more worried about what was in the court than what we had seen earlier. Without speaking to each other for what seemed like five or ten minutes, another flash happened.

This time it was at my friend “T”‘s house – directly in front of my house. The flash was on the other side of the trailer and appeared to be aimed at his mothers bedroom. Again we waited… wondering what the flashes were.

Another couple minutes had gone by. Another flash.

This time, it was clearly pointed at “T”‘s window and there was NOTHING at the source of the flash. In my mind I could pinpoint, to the INCH, where the flash had started, yet there was nothing there. Bud looked to me and said “what the hell are those flashes?” I had no reply. I wanted to remain silent and hidden from whatever had been making the flashes.

Again we waited.

About another five minutes passed when there was a flash on the other side of Mr. Wilson’s house. (That wasn’t his real name, but we knew him as Mr. Wilson in the trailer park.)

So, we waited what seemed like forever. In reality, it was probably 15 to 20 minutes with no sign of flashes or anything similar to them.

Quite suddenly, Bud looked at me and said “well, I’m getting tired. wake me if anything happens.” He then put his head right down on his hands where he was sitting (propped up on his knees on the backside of the couch bed).

I said, “okay” but wondered how anybody in their right mind could just fall asleep that fast after witnessing what we had witnessed. In my mind, I would not go to sleep until the sun was up and people were awake.

I started to get the strange feeling that the happening wasn’t over. Then… I started piecing things together that were quite simple and obvious.

1. Serena lives with her mother and father. There were 3 flashes at her trailer. (aimed at their bedrooms…)
2. “T” lives with his mother. There were 2 flashes at his trailer. (aimed at their bedrooms, also…)
3. Mr. Wilson lives alone. There was one flash.

I figured that if they had gone through flashing every individual, as they went around from left to right in the court, since Wilson was last they had to turn around and come up the other line of trailers… starting with mine.

I almost panicked as I came to the realization of what I believed was true.

I turned my head in the direction of where I believed the thing causing the flash to be. As I turned my head I could clearly see out my window (one that did not have glass or screen in it – open – nothing obstructing my view) an alien. I had turned quick enough to spot him before I saw a flash come from, what seemed like, his forehead……….

When the flash hit me, he disappeared and I realized I was completely paralyzed. As I tried to move my limbs, I looked around to realize that I was no longer on the same part of my bed that I had been during the flash. I was, in fact, at the foot of my bed on my knees staring at the open window as if nothing had happened. Instantly, the numbness was gone.

I grabbed the back of Bud’s leg (because he was in the same position that he had been in when he laid his head down…)

It appeared that he had not moved at all. But somehow I was at least 4 feet away from where I was when I had seen the flash…? When I grabbed his leg I screamed extremely loud “BUD! wake up!” His head came off of his hands with his eyes wide as if he knew something wasn’t right.

We didn’t have to say anything to each other as we both jumped up and ran into the kitchen. We each armed ourselves with butcher knives, not knowing how much time had gone by or if the threat was still around. He asked me what had happened. The only way I could really describe it to him was “I was flashed..” Bud KNEW what I meant by that, which told me that I wasn’t just seeing things and that I wasn’t alone.

After about two minutes of silence.. waiting for something else to happen.. we finally laughed at the fact that we were standing armed in the kitchen with knives… waiting for aliens to come.

It seemed ridiculous to us.. Although it had clearly just happened, we couldn’t really wrap our minds around it. So, we laughed it off and this time we went to bed INSIDE of the house, instead of the room surrounded with glass windows.

This event has made me realize that more than one time in my life – for a split second – I have seen aliens and “the flash”. I have seen them in my bedroom window… I have seen them outside of my tent while sleeping in the woods* the same woods that are between the trailer park and the field I described*… I have had many occasions where, just for a second, I believed that I had been part of an alien abduction. Seeing what I have seen and the fact that I have witnessed a UFO, I have seen that UFO land in my field, I have seen something flash friends and neighbors, and I have been flashed by something that came from the sky… this is not your ordinary alien story because to this day I cannot say that I fully remember ever communicating with an alien or being aboard their “crafts”. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t seen, felt, or experienced something extremely out of the ordinary. My cousin was there as a witness to the UFO and to all six flashes… (the seventh, of course, being my own) I have no explanation as to WHAT exactly the flashes are or WHAT they do to people, but I do think that they were meant for individual people… and to somehow make a person “unaware” that something is going on… whether by putting them to sleep… paralyzing them… or wiping out their memory… I don’t know for certain. What I do know for certain is that I have had many encounters with them and I believe that I truly know how they arrive. To put it bluntly, I’ve caught them in the act of flashing people. I believe that they were completely unaware that I had spotted them, until it was too late. I feel as though they knew that they had made a mistake. I had witnessed their mistake and I almost FELT the reaction of the alien as.. panic. For the instant that I saw him, I knew in my gut that he was as scared of me as I was of him. I knew that their “routine” was not supposed to have been witnessed by anyone. We are supposed to be dazed by the flash when they come.) – MUFON CMS
