Military pilot captures classic shaped UFO with gun camera ~ 1957
Military pilot captures classic shaped UFO with gun camera ~ 1957
Rouen, France, 1957. Flying to intercept a mysterious radar reflection, an unknown French Air Force pilot photographed this craft in March 1957 over Rouen with his gun-sight camera.
The UFO paced the plane for several minutes before speeding off past the maximum velocity of the French airplane.
This UFO appears to be of the same type that appeared in McMinnville, Oregon, over the farm of Mr. Paul Trent. It was first published in the Royal Air Force Flying Review in July, 1957, and also in Flying Saucer Review in July, 1957.
Mystery UFO symbols have appeared on dozens of cattle crossing signs
There is a mystery unfolding along New Mexico's roads and highways. A mystery many of you may have already noticed.
Strange UFO symbols have appeared on dozens of cattle crossing signs. Where are they coming from? Some may want you to think it's the work of aliens, but the explanation is probably a little more down to earth.
It's a mystery straight out of the X-Files. Driving down the highway from Taos to Santa Fe, you'll see them. Just one of the many places they've appeared around New Mexico. UFO stickers placed on cattle crossing signs, giving the appearance "aliens" are beaming the cows up.
Maureen Ortega is one of the many New Mexicans who have noticed the strange signs. She says they first started appearing around Taos and northern New Mexico a few years ago.
"They've been there for a while and I've often wondered who did them. Wondered if it was someone who was into UFOs or did it for a prank or whatever," said Ortega.
She thinks the message behind the stickers may have to do with reports of cattle mutilations in the area. Mutilations, many believe are the work of extra-terrestrials.
"Twenty-two years ago ranchers were finding cattle mutilated all over the place and it was blamed on aliens. What else could have done it?" For the answer we turned to author and paranormal investigator Benjamin Radford. The self-described skeptic has written books about the cattle mutilation phenomena.
"The majority of these so-called animal mutilations are actually perfectly explainable. There's nothing mysterious about it," Radford said. He says here in New Mexico it makes perfect sense "some" would think aliens "are" involved.
"There's a strong folklore of aliens and ETs tied to New Mexico anyway. On top of that you have the animal mutilations, the cattle mutilations," Radford continued. "Let’s say for example you have the exact same animal and if it was found in the late 90s in Texas, people would say it's a Chupacabra. The vampire beast came and sucked it blood out. The same animal found in Northern NM in the 1980's people might say its aliens."
So does he think that is the reason behind the stickers? Is someone putting them up to send a message?
Radford said the people that are doing this aren't necessarily UFO believers. It's easy to assume there's some big important message here. He says they're having fun.
Even Radford admits we'll never really know who is turning our cattle crossing signs into extra-terrestrial messages, or why, but the truth is out there. Whatever the reason, the mystery may be over.
KOB reached out to the New Mexico Department of Transportation to see what it thinks of the altered signs. A spokesperson says they weren't aware of them but will be taking them down since they can distract drivers and the stickers block the reflective areas meant to warn people about cattle crossing the road. - KOB
Twenty-six students at a girls high school in Fukuoka Prefecture became sick Monday in an apparent panic attack, prompting the school to close for the day.
It was not immediately clear what caused the students to fall ill.
According to Yanagawa High School, a private school in the city of Yanagawa, a first-year student suddenly shrieked in the middle of a class and fell down at about 10 a.m.
Two other students in the class fell into a similar state soon afterward, followed by students from other classes who came to check on the incident. Some of the students turned pale, though the exact cause of their sickness was not known.
The school let the 26 students go home and canceled all classes later in the day. It remained closed on Tuesday as well, an official said.
“We don’t know why such an incident happened, but we need to take good care of the students. I’ll talk to them more to find out what happened,” said Vice Principal Shigemitsu Mori.
Twitter and other social media were abuzz with unfounded rumors of the students “becoming possessed with evil spirits,” the Nishinippon Shimbun reported Tuesday. The students got well soon afterward, according to the paper.
Psychiatrist Rika Kayama said students in adolescence can feel excessive tension and anxiety, which are highly contagious, and added that the group panic attack might have been triggered by occultism.
“The only thing you can do (to avoid the recurrence of such incidents) is to distance yourself from people and topics that triggered such incidents. Rumors spread quickly in today’s society, through Twitter and other means, raising the possibility of panic attacks,” Kayama said. - Japan Times
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, doctors began wondering if people ever became aware while under anesthesia. They started doing post-operative interviews to find out. Then they took it one step further, and tested whether people could learn under anesthesia. Check out the results.
Awareness During Anesthesia
Awareness during surgery is so terrifying that multiple horror movies have been made about it. It's also the subject of many second-hand stories and urban legends. These days it's rare for such things to happen. Drugs that immobilize a patient during surgery are given only at the beginning of a procedure, as part of the process of knocking the patient out. They wear off, at which point if you are aware you can register a complaint. During longer surgeries, it's not uncommon for doctors to monitor a patient's brain activity to check for distress.
But around the late 1990s and early 2000s, doctors got into investigating the anecdotal evidence regarding awareness during anesthesia. Some of this investigation consisted of interviews, both just after surgery and about a week later, during which people described their experiences. Certain interviews are suspect, because they mention extensive attempts to "jog" the person's memory. Interviewing of this kind has gotten a bad reputation, as it has been known to "jog" people's memories about past lives and extensive abuse by nonexistent satanic cults. Still, other interview-based studies found that in as many as 0.13% of procedures, people gain some awareness while under general anesthesia.
Taking it just a bit of a step further, some studies tried to determine if people could take in and retain information while under general anesthesia. The results are encouraging for those who would rather be absolutely unaware of being poked with scalpels than be able to learn French while under the knife.
The Many Disturbing "Awareness During Anesthesia" Studies
One experiment involved an odd assortment of tests. Sometimes people were instructed to touch either their ear or their nose while under anesthesia. During a post-operative interview, they touched the suggested body part longer than the part that wasn't suggested, but only by a matter of seconds. Patients were also played tapes of words, all of which had the same first three letters. Later they were shown those letters, and asked to think of words starting with them. They generally picked more words from the list played during the operation than unlisted words. Finally, patients were played a list of nonsense words, either frequently or infrequently, during the operation. Afterwords, they were asked to guess the comparative frequency of the nonsense words. They recognized the words played more frequently than the ones played less frequently, but the frequently-played words were only recognized 62% of the time.
Anything more complicated than single words seems right out of the question. In a study of a group of patients, half of whom were played "The Three Little Pigs" during an operation and half of whom were played "The Wizard of Oz" during an operation, only 49% of the group guessed right.
Overall, it seems that softer tests of "learning" during anesthesia can get mildly positive results. On the other hand, "controlled studies using explicit memory tests" get "uniformly negative results." However much anecdotal evidence for slight awareness during parts of a procedure under general anesthesia, no one is learning anything while they're knocked out. - io9
As we celebrate Independence Day today, on July 4, it seems like the perfect time to look at what may be an example of how some of the best, government trained personnel are now “serving” the public in this peculiar area of UFOlogy.
Knowing that the government ‘s job is essentially to protect and serve the people, who better to protect us from any confusion about what’s really going with UFOs, and to reassure us that any appropriate investigation of the subject is being carried out, than a formerly high-ranking military intelligence professional?
Of course one mustn’t try to second-guess just how these people do their jobs.
The following blog is a result of what I’d call a mixed message from Mr. Paris. As he had been on my mailing list, I was surprised to receive this email from him, on June 30:
Remove me from this mailing list NOW. I DO NOT want any emails from YOU. I am no longer interested in anything about UFOs.
PERIOD
Thank You.
My request for clarification of this confusing, seemingly inconsistent request wasn’t responded to so, on July 3, I sent this to Antonio and all of the team members listed on his site:
“API is a worldwide UFO investigations team about the scientific investigation of unidentified aerial phenomena (also known as UAPs or UFOs).”
…on a page that mentions “UFO” 32 times, with an insignia that has three UFOs on it.
Since we agree that the entire field of “UFOlogy” is largely unscientific, lacking in credibility, etc., it seems safe to assume that you would be interested in the only scientifically proven, still ongoing (over 72 years) UFO contact case of Billy Meier. (The Meier case also meets the legal standard of proof.)
Since the evidence in the Meier case is not only stunningly clear, still irreproducible but also testable by anyone with PhotoShop (which didn’t exist when Meier took all his photos, etc.) I’m sure you and your team would agree that the need to chase lights in the sky has long since passed.
You now have what you’ve been looking for, freely presented to you on a proverbial…silverdisk. So I invite you to respond to my invitation to explore the evidence in the Meier case…as MUFON has now also decided to do.
Then, this morning, certainly flush with that patriotic spirit, Antonio, er, cleared everything up for me with this reassuringly open, professional response:
Micheal
First, please email ME only. It is unprofessional to blast everyone an email. If you want me to respond, thats fine. But DO NOT email my team. They are very busy with their lives and they only study UFOs a few times a years. UFOs are NOT their full time job.
API is only interested in about 5 cases per year. Thats it, five. We do NOT investigate historical cases such as the Billy Meier photos. WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS. We all have families and full time careers that have nothing to do with UFOs. API is a small and part time team only. We are not MUFON.
Thanks
Antonio
I responded thusly:
Antonio,
I think we need to clear up some communications here. You’re a military man so I’m sure that my cutting straight to the points will be appreciated.
1. Since there are email addresses for the members of your organization in the US and UK, with no qualifiers that they shouldn’t be contacted…why is it “unprofessional”? As a matter of fact, your promo material makes it look like studying UFOs is indeed what they do. I must have missed the “five cases per year” thing. Have you also arranged it with…whom or whatever is being sighted that there will only be five cases per year occurring that are worthy of your time?
BTW, if my email to Cherish had been a modeling or acting opportunity would that have been a problem?
2. You represent yourself and company as a professional, scientifically oriented, serious organization of “trained UFO investigators” that investigates, researches and analyzes aerial phenomenon. So what part of a more than 72 years-long,still ongoing UFO contact case doesn’t qualify?
3. You inform the public that you are a former “US Army Counterintelligence Officer and Department of Defense Counterintelligence Special Agent.” Is part of your specialty being deliberately non-responsive to the actual questions and points I raise with you?
4. You tell me that you “don’t investigate historical cases such as the Billy Meier photos.” Is there an expiration date on the truth? Is “historical” now being redefined as being synonymous with: irrelevant, unimportant, to be ignored, false, etc. As a self-described COINTEL pro yourself, is this new dismissive and contemptuous approach to “historical” perhaps COINTELPRO to “protect” us from a pesky, inconvenient, thought-provoking, disturbing little thing called the truth…a word that seems to be missing from your mission statement.
It is interesting, however, that you consider Roswell to have been “proven” to be just what…the government said it was, a weather balloon.
5. Have you ever heard the term “cold case”? Don’t you realize that today’s technology, including PhotoShop, is the digital equivalent of DNA testing? Have you bothered to review the expert analysis of the WCUFO photos using state-of-the-art technology conducted by Prof. Rhal Zahi, the results of which an eight year-old child can duplicate in about five minutes?
6. Returning to point 3., just whose intelligence are you trying to counter? Sorry, soldier, you’re either misrepresenting your qualifications, or you’re using them to be part of the disinformation you profess to want to separate yourselves from. Your failure to be “following the evidence where it leads without jumping to conclusions” leads me to believe that you’re actually prominent among the “convergence of arm-chair UFO investigators, conspiracy theorists, hoaxers” you disdain.
Perhaps though I’m expecting too much based on your own promotional material. I’ll let my readers decide for themselves.
Naturally, at this point I thought that I should share all this with my readers in part to see if just maybe I’m being too vigilant, even to the point of being suspicious that…things aren’t always as they seem or are claimed to be, etc. I’m reminded of that corny old joke about a man coming home earlier than expected who finds his wife in bed with another man. As he stands there, shocked and confronts the situation, his wife looks up at him indignantly and defiantly says, “There’s nothing going on here! Are you going to believe your own eyes…or me?”
Please pay special attention to the way doublespeak is now being used to redefine and equate “historical” with irrelevant. This isn’t the only UFO organization to now be using this tactic. (Watch for how this trend will be – or already has started to be – spread in our so-called “educational system”.)
Notice how Antonio’s “trained UFO investigators” are suddenly portrayed as people who “DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS” with “families and full time careers that have nothing to do with UFOs.” Notice how mentioning UFOs 32 timeson one page is now the same as his being “no longer interested in anything about UFOs.”
The inmates, the asylum, the thrills, the spills! Have a happy holiday…from reality!
UPDATE:
Here is Mr. Paris’ just received comment on the entire matter, reaffirming my sense that he has more than a nodding familiarity with asylums, inmates, etc.:
You really have no respect for personal emails do you? This is why no one takes you seriously. You need to see a psychiatrist.

Parachutes made of plasma trapped in a magnetic field could soon be helping space probes glide safely back to Earth.
Two private aerospace companies have won NASA contracts to demonstrate magnetoshell aerocapture, a way of shrouding a falling spacecraft in a magnetic bubble akin to the plasma shield around Earth. But whereas Earth’s magnetosphere protects it from solar radiation, a similar bubble around a spacecraft creates drag, slowing it down. If a test next year proves successful, the technique could help future probes land heavy loads on Mars or bring back human missions to deep space.
“I’m really excited about these awards that have been made,” says Michelle Munk at NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate in Hampton, Virginia. “It’s a low-cost way to investigate these kinds of things and see if they will bear fruit.”
When a spacecraft enters a planet’s atmosphere, it ploughs into air molecules at high speed, creating intense heat. Structures designed to create drag can slow the descent, but probes must also rely on heat shields that either burn away or insulate to protect the cargo inside. The heavier the payload, the more challenging the task of getting the craft down in one piece.
For larger landers, NASA has been looking at lightweight technologies such as an inflatable “flying saucer” for Mars missions, tested last week over Hawaii (see ‘Flying saucer’ makes a splash). Magnetoshell aerocapture is one of the most revolutionary ideas, says Munk. It not only slows a craft’s descent but can also greatly reduce heating.
Last month, aerospace firm MSNW of Redmond, Washington, won a NASA grant to demonstrate the technique on a CubeSat. The small, boxy satellite should be delivered to the International Space Station in 2015. It will then be deployed and attempt to enter Earth’s atmosphere without burning up.
The satellite will carry a copper coil, powered by a lithium-ion battery, that generates a magnetic field around the probe. As it descends, the spacecraft will eject a small amount of plasma. This gets trapped in the magnetic field, creating a protective bubble that stops air molecules colliding with the craft and producing heat.
The air molecules flow into the plasma bubble and absorb electrons from it, becoming ionised. The newly ionised air becomes trapped in the magnetic field, and the craft ends up dragging a patch of atmosphere with it, effectively creating a parachute of gas.
The CubeSat’s magnetoshell aerocapture system will be built by Altius Space Machines of Louisville, Colorado. NASA awarded it a contract to develop such systems, which will feature an external magnetic coil up to 5 metres across. These could be used on larger landers, including human missions to deep space that need to return to Earth, says Altius’s Jonathan Goff.
The system has hefty power requirements that will strain the limits of any battery the CubeSat could carry, says Goff. But if the test succeeds, it could also boost efforts to make rockets reusable, allowing parts discarded in orbit to return to Earth intact, he says. “Basically it’s a way of moving beyond the Apollo throwaway philosophy.”

Donald Shrum, a bow & arrow deer hunter, was lost and benighted in the hills and had climbed a pine tree when he saw a moving light in the sky not far off. This presently discharged a domed object with a blinking light on top. Then two figures came toward him; they wore silver or whitish coverall uniforms with hoods & gauntlets, and dark goggles. A third being, which had large reddish orange glowing eyes, looked metallic all over & appeared to be a robot; all 3 were about 5 ft tall. The “robot” came to the base of the tree & its mouth emitted a puff of white vapor, which had the effect of causing Shrum to lose consciousness briefly. To keep off the entities, Shrum set fire to everything available, including much of his clothing, and threw it down. But as soon as the blaze died down they would come back to the tree. He also shot his 3 arrows against the robot; they stuck with a flash of light, but did not injure it. Throughout the night, the robot repeatedly emitted the anesthetic vapor (Shrum fastened himself to the tree with his belt so as not to fall) and the other 2 beings kept trying to climb up the tree, which Shrum would shake to make them get down. At some point a second robot joined the besiegers. Finally, just before dawn, the 2 robots exchanged arc-like flashes & emitted a large volume of vapor. When Shrum came to, the entities were gone.

Around midnight, the witness, Ipat Fedorovich (involved in numerous other encounters) suddenly awoke after hearing a sharp sibilant sound. Looking at the opened window he saw an “object” entered the room and land on the night table. The “object” resembled a small robot-like humanoid or a sophisticated toy. The height of the robotic figure was only about 15 cm and width about 10cm. It seemed… to be multi-layered and emitted a light with all the colors of the rainbow, although blue and greenish predominated. A small glow was also observed briefly at the window. Meanwhile, the night visitor after staying on the table for about 30-40 seconds fell or jumped to the floor, executing this maneuver totally noiselessly. The multicolored glow now dimmed and Fedorovich arose from the bed and immediately looked around the table, but there was no trace of the “little fellow”. After this Fedorovich went immediately to sleep, in the morning he made a sketch of the strange robotic entity. (Above).
Over a period of months a farm in southern France was plagued by the appearance of lights. Balls of light appeared in the evening and surrounded the house of 20-year-old Robert L., who lived with his parents and his grandmother.
Large balls of light moved over the ground, seeming to extinguish and re-light, eventually joining up with a giant bullet-shaped form standing vertically.
…
They appeared to be intelligent.
One evening the young man, feeling exasperated, attempted to run into a ball of light with his car. A race ensued over 2 miles, and Robert was unable to catch up with the ball. The car broke down. A flying vessel appeared. The temperature rose. A “flying saucer with two domes descended to the ground where Rogert saw two figures on the inside. He lost consciousness.
Over the next days, Robert was overcome with fatigue and had nightmares. He slept twenty hours a day for three months.
Visitations 1967 – 1968
For two years Robert received many visits in his bedroom at night. Extra-terrestrial entities crossed through the walls and surrounded his bed. Robert was paralyzed.
The visitors were tall, blond, and thin with long arms. They were dressed in skin-tight jumpsuits open at the neck and wrists, with a metallic shimmer and a wide belt.

Indiase minister van Financiën: Buitenaardse intelligenties bestaan
Indiase minister van Financiën: Buitenaardse intelligenties bestaan
Terwijl veel Indiërs zich druk maken over aanstaande bezuinigingen, had de Indiase minister van Financiën afgelopen woensdag op Facebook vooral aandacht voor minder aardse zaken. Arun Jaitley, een belangrijke vertrouweling van minister-president Narendra Modi, plaatste op Wereld UFO Dag een speciale boodschap op zijn Facebookpagina, die meer dan een miljoen likes heeft.
“Deze dag wordt gevierd om het bewustzijn over het bestaan van UFO’s te vergroten en daarmee het bestaan van intelligente wezens uit de ruimte,” schreef de minister. Het bericht was voorzien van een afbeelding van een vliegende schotel in een graanveld.
Wereld UFO Dag is een feestdag die gewijd is aan het bewijzen van het bestaan van ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten. De feestdag is in 2001 ontstaan, meldt de website worldufoday.com.
Een staflid van minister Jaitley bevestigde dat zijn team de boodschap had geplaatst en zei dat de pagina niet was gehackt. Het bericht viel niet overal in goede aarde. Na een storm van verontwaardiging werd het bericht na een paar uur weer verwijderd.
“Vandaag vieren wij Indiërs de prijsverhoging in plaats van UFO Dag,” reageerde Facebook-gebruiker V Bhushan Bhushansharma, verwijzende naar de stijgende prijzen van brandstof en het openbaar vervoer in India.
Minister-president Modi verzekerde zich in mei met zijn nationalistische BJP-partij met een verpletterende verkiezingsoverwinning van een absolute meerderheid in het Indiase parlement. Tijdens zijn verkiezingscampagne bleef Modi hameren op economisch herstel. De hindoe-nationalistische partij decimeerde de door corruptieschandalen geteisterde Congrespartij die al bijna een halve eeuw aan de macht was.
Eén van de grote problemen in India, waar 70 procent van de mensen moet rondkomen van nog geen 1,5 euro per dag, is het grote begrotingstekort, dat sinds enige tijd gehalveerd is van ongeveer 5 procent naar rond de 2,5 procent van het bbp.
“U kunt zich beter beperken tot de discussie over de problemen waar de doorsnee Indiër mee te maken heeft,” schreef Facebook-gebruiker Ganesh Choudhary onder het bericht. “Mensen zijn bang voor de ellende waar ze mee te maken gaan krijgen als de maatregelen in werking treden die gericht zijn op het herstel van de fiscale gezondheid van het land.”
Twee planeten waar leven mogelijk zou zijn, blijken helemaal niet te bestaan. Hun 'ontdekking' was in 2010 bekendgemaakt door sterrenkundigen, maar wat ze zagen, was ruis. Collega-wetenschappers hebben hun ster nogmaals onderzocht en komen nu tot die conclusie, die ze vandaag naar buiten hebben gebracht. Het onderzoek verschijnt in het belangrijke wetenschapsblad Science.
Als sterrenkundigen zoeken naar planeten in andere stelsels, kunnen ze niet kijken naar de planeten zelf. Die zijn namelijk te klein. In plaats daarvan meten ze hoe het licht van een ster dimt, als een planeet er voorlangs gaat.
Gliese 581 Bij de ster Gliese 581 zagen wetenschappers een paar jaar geleden dat het licht veranderde. Dat kwam volgens hen door twee planeten. Die zouden rotsachtig zijn, net als de aarde, en ze zouden op de goede afstand van de ster staan zodat er vloeibaar water op het oppervlak zou kunnen zijn. Zulke planeten zijn 'potentieel bewoonbaar'; als ergens in het heelal buitenaards leven is, zal het waarschijnlijk op zo'n planeet zijn.
Maar het waren helemaal niet de planeten waardoor Gliese 581 dimde, zeggen andere wetenschappers nu. Ze keken opnieuw naar de ster en zeggen dat het hoogstwaarschijnlijk kwam door vlekken op het oppervlak van de ster, zoals onze zon die ook heeft.
Teleurgesteld zijn de wetenschappers niet echt. Dat ze in staat zijn om de ruis te ontdekken, betekent dat ze de echte planeten ook beter kunnen vinden. "Het is jammer dat twee veelbelovende planeten niet bestaan, maar we denken dat dit onderzoek uiteindelijk leidt tot de vondst van meer planeten zoals de aarde", schrijven ze.
Rond de ster Gliese 581 waren eerder drie andere planeten ontdekt. Die zijn er wel degelijk, blijkt ook na de nieuwe berekeningen. Ze staan alleen te dicht bij de ster, waardoor leven er onmogelijk is.
Uit de studie van de akoestische trillingen van een honderdtal sterren die jonger zijn dan 10 miljoen jaar en één tot vijfmaal de massa van onze zon hebben, heeft Konstanze Zwintz van het Leuvense Instituut voor Sterrenkunde voor het eerst aangetoond dat jonge sterren andere trillingspatronen vertonen dat ietwat oudere sterren. Dat meldt de KU Leuven in een persbericht.
Sterren worden dikwijls in groep geboren als een deel van hun moleculaire wolk - gas en stof - samentrekt om vervolgens te krimpen door de zwaartekracht. Ze worden volwassen sterren die een hele tijd stabiel blijven na een kernfusie.
De leeftijd van jonge sterren was tot voor kort moeilijk te bepalen. De moleculaire wolk waaruit de sterrenhoop ontstaan is, geeft enkel een ruwe indicatie want er bevinden zich zowel jonge als oudere sterren.
Levensfases Theoretici hadden voor jonge sterren al andere trillingspatronen voorspeld dan voor oudere sterren en dat wordt nu bevestigd door het onderzoek van Zwintz. Uit haar studie blijkt dat de sterren kunnen onderverdeeld worden in verschillende levensfases.
"De allerjongste sterren vertonen tragere trillingen, de sterren die dichter bij volwassenheid staan, trillen sneller", aldus Zwintz, die voor dit onderzoek gegevens verzamelde van sterren uit de sterrenhoop Christmas Tree Clusters afkomstig van de MOST- en CoRot-satelliet.
Wetenschappers hebben dankzij de Amerikaanse Saturnussonde Cassini sterke aanwijzingen gevonden dat de ondergrondse oceaan op de maan Titan mogelijk even zout is als de Dode Zee op Aarde, zo heeft het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA meegedeeld.
De Cassini scheerde de voorbije tien jaar herhaaldelijk langs Titan, de grootste maan van Saturnus. Bij die passages stuurde de onbemande sonde data omtrent zwaartekacht en topografie door. Aan de hand hiervan slaagden de onderzoekers erin om een model van Titan te maken.
De ondergrondse oceaan op Titan blijkt daarbij een extreem hoge dichtheid te hebben. Dat betekent dat deze oceaan mogelijk "zware" zouten bevat, zoals zwavelzouten, natriumzouten en kaliumzouten. "Dit is heel erg zout", aldus Giuseppe Mitri van de universiteit van Nantes. "Nu we dit weten, verandert het onze kijk op de oceaan als een potentiële broedplaats van leven."
Bovendien ontdekten de wetenschappers dat de dikke ijskorst boven de oceaan zeer stijf is. Dit verklaart waarom de dikte van de ijskorst van Titan van plek tot plek verschilt. Een minder stijve korst zou zich op een gegeven moment aanpassen aan de vorm van de maan, maar dat is hier niet mogelijk.
Het model verklaart ook hoe het vijf procent methaan in de atmosfeer van Titan wordt aangevuld. Omdat zonlicht methaan afbreekt, is er een proces actief dat het gas aanvult. De onderzoekers vermoeden dat dit plaatselijk gebeurt op zogenoemde hotspots, te vergelijken met vulkanisme op Aarde. Methaan komt dus maar op enkele plekken in de atmosfeer terecht.
Has a pyramid been found on an asteroid? Some UFO researchers believe it is a real possibility.
Scott Waring, author of UFO Sightings Daily says, ”When you first look at this asteroid it appears just like a normal rock in space, but with a more careful second glance you will see…it is inhabited. There is a black (flat black color) pyramid on this asteroid.”
“I have said many times…alien structures come in one of three types…grey metallic, flat black color, white ceramic color. Oh…I often find around the flat black are tiny grey metallic structures.” says Waring.
”This is fantastic evidence from scientists in India at the ISRO labs. The detail of this massive pyramid is fantastic and you can see two other rectangle structures on it. The asteroid is probably not for mining as much as used as a tiny space station. An asteroid that size and a structure that size is a bit out of proportion…so this cannot be a mining facility,” says Waring.
Updated on July 3, 2014: Waring says, “I emailed the director of ISRO today and asked him about the video being theirs or not. I also asked them about the building on the asteroid. ISRO is here. http://www.isro.org/“

“This massive structure is meant to be hidden on this small asteroid, so it is probably monitoring planets as it passes them without any primitive life discovering them…however, India was on top of it and caught it quickly. Awesome work India,” says Waring.

Carlos Argue Balvidares, 43, the manager of a country estate, was drinking tea when his son Manuel, 13, called his attention to the presence of 3 persons floating in the air over the surface of a pond 100 yards away. Balvidares went to the pond and called out to the…m; they “disappeared immediately, only to return to show themselves at the opposite shore of the pond, 300 yards away.” There were two men and a woman. The woman was about 5’3” tall and had long black hair, black clothing, and white boots; the men (both of the same height) were somewhat shorter, and appeared naked and of a “sunburned” color; they may have been wearing tight fitting one-piece suits. They were blond, and their hair appeared “glued on.” All three had white complexions, wide foreheads, and small noses. They floated about with their arms held close to their bodies. On the far side of the pond rested a rectangular object approx. 35 ft in diameter and 7-10 ft high, which was luminous, and emitted a beam of light 15” in diameter which struck Balvidares; it dazzled him and he could feel heat from it. Balvidares took his horse and rode out to the pond, but when he had got halfway to the entities, he encountered an “invisible barrier” and cold not proceed. Meanwhile the beings continued to maneuver over the surface of the pond, communicating by “a kind of shriek, like the sound made by a radio which is poorly tuned.” After an hour and a half, Balvidares mounted his horse to ride around the pond, but at that time the beings returned to the UFO, the men “changing in color to dark green and orange” as they approached it. Then the witness smelt “an odor of sulfur” and became drowsy for a few moments; when he recovered from this, the object and its entities had disappeared. On later investigation, many triangular footprints 4” to 5” long, showing 4 claw marks at the front of the triangle, were found in the vicinity of the UFOs resting place; the object itself left 4 triangular impressions 15” on a side, arranged in a square 13 ft on a side. The horse “exhibited nervousness” after the event, and its hair began to fall out.

Maximo Munoz Hernaiz, a 12-year old local shepherd had gone out to the fields with the grazing cattle. During the early afternoon as Maximo took care that the animals did not go into the crop fields he began to hear a slight humming sound emanating from behind him. Moments later h…e looked and saw what he could only describe as “a large balloon” resembling the ones he had seen at local fairs. However this supposed balloon was not glowing as much as it should have done. He compared the object to a large “bowl” a little bit over half a meter in width, with a yellowish brilliance, similar to that of “iron shining under a hot sun”, and about 1.30 meters in height. Still thinking that it was some type of balloon Maximo approached it, planning to grab the “balloon”. However, suddenly a small door or hatch opened on the front of the balloon and three “little men” exited the object. The little men were only about 65 cm in height, with Oriental features and yellowish skin. The three little men had “jumped” out of the object and approached the now startled Maximo. One stood on each side, while a third directly in front of him. The one standing in front of Maximo spoke to the shepherd in a strange language which he did not understand. The apparent ‘leader’ of the little men who all wore blue uniforms, cap with visor, and a sort of ‘emblem’ on their arms, stared at Maximo’s uncomprehending face and then ‘slapped’ him gently on one of his cheeks. The three little men stood around briefly, apparently contemplating the scenery and then returned to their craft. Grabbing something unseen within the object each one jumped up into the object and entered. The small hatch closed as the object became brighter ascending slowly into the sky and emitting the same humming sound that Maximo had originally heard. Afraid Maximo gathered up the cows and went back home and told his family what he had seen. His father Felipe Muñoz Olivares, accompanied by the local “Guardia Civil” or rural police inspected the apparent landing site and found footprints and four holes 5 centimeters each in depth and 2.5 centimeters in width, and separated by 36 centimeters from each other. These same traces were seen by another local, Fernando Arago and the Reverend Antonio Bulnes, both head administrators of a nearby youth camp, “Cardenal Cisneros”, these men apparently made molds with some of the prints. The same day another rural police officer, Crescencio Atienza Martinez from the nearby village of Honrubia, reported seeing a grayish-white sphere flying towards the Spanish frontier from the direction of Villares del Saz. Maximo Muñoz never spoke about the incident again.

Hearing a whistling sound, Jose C. Higgins, a topographer, saw coming down a lens shaped object with surrounding flange; it landed 150 ft away. It was of gray white metal, about 150 ft in diameter with a 3 foot rim, and 15 ft high, “crossed by tubes in several directions,” the whistling coming from these. Metallic legs, which bent a little, supported the craft. Walking closer, he saw through a black glass window 2 persons watching him; a door opened beneath the rim, and there emerged 3 people enveloped in inflated transparent suits, with metal boxes on their backs. They wore shirts and shorts, which looked as though made of paper rather than cloth. Their heads were almost hairless, their eyes round and large, and their legs relatively long; they were nearly 7 ft tall. All 3 looked identical. They spoke in an unknown language, and he noticed that they kept in the shade except for brief periods. One, pointing a metal tube at him, motioned Higgins to enter the door, through which he could see an inner door and the end of a “pipe.” Using gestures, Higgins asked where they came from. One drew on the ground a dot (the sun, “Alamo” in their language) surrounded by 7 circles, and pointed alternately to the seventh circle (called “Orque” Uranus) and to their craft. Not wishing to go there, Higgins showed them a picture of his wife, indicating that he did not want to leave her, and the allowed him to go. From the forest he looked back to see them “playing like children, jumping in the air and throwing enormous stones.” After half an hour, having “carefully examined their surroundings,” they re-entered and the craft took off.

Many people are saying that the government is not telling the truth about its involvement in the retrieval of a crashed UFO in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania in 1965. People who live in Kecksburg wonder what it was that caused the military, police, and local firefighters to respond so quickly to this rural community. Follow the events of December 9th, 1965, with UFOInvestigator Stan Gordon as twenty-one witnesses describe what they saw, the news medias involvement and the military’s mysterious removal of a UFO to an unknown Air Forcebase where all traces of this event disappeared in secrecy.
Form: FI-4 Initial Report Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 05:08:24 -0600 From: Francis Ridge <nicap@insightbb.com> Subject: 1973, May, Houston, TX; Cattle Mutilation Cat: 4 To: CE, SHG
Houston,TX 1973. One of the few UFO encounter cases which also involved animal mutilation occurred in May, 1973, and involved four women. Judy Doraty, her daughter Cindy, Judy’s mother and sister-in-law would have the most terrifying experience of their lives. After playing Bingo in Houston, the four women were returning to Judy’s home town of Texas City, but first going by Alto Loma to drop off Judy’s sister and brother-in-law.
After dropping off the two in Alto Loma, the remaining four saw a strange light, which seemed to be hovering in the night sky. The sight was intriguing enough that the four women stopped, and got out of the car to get a clearer look at the source of the light. They watched in awe until the light disappeared. They then resumed their trip to Texas City.
Eventually, Judy began to suffer from extreme headaches and anxiety. After being seen and dismissed by several doctors, she was referred to well-known Ufologist and hypnotist Dr. Leo Sprinkle. Sprinkle’s previous experience with the UFO enigma led him to recommend hypnosis as a way to relieve Judy of her emotional trauma. There can be little doubt that Sprinkle suspected an abduction from the beginning.
Under hypnosis, it was revealed that Judy had apparently been abducted aboard an extra-terrestrial spacecraft. Judy went on in detail, describing how a cow was taken up into the craft and methodically mutilated by two “small entities.” During the hypnotic regression, Judy described the unusual sensation of being in two places at once. She said that she was still standing beside her car after they stopped to watch the strange light in the sky. However, Judy also said that at the same time, she was in a strange chamber watching the gruesome experiment unfolding before her eyes. Footage of this regression was included in Linda Moulton-Howe’s award-winning documentary “Strange Harvests.”
In a 1989 interview on 21st Century Radio, Linda Howe divulged what had been learned from the experience of Judy Doraty:
“Judy described . . . in a pale beam of yellow light, a small brown and white calf being taken up into a craft. Then, in an extraordinary way, [Judy) was inside the craft, and she watches the calf have pieces of it excised: the tongue, the sex organs, the eyes…?”
Some of Sprinkle’s hypnosis session is included below:
Sprinkle asks, “Is there anyone around you?”
There was this long, almost forty-five-second pause, and then she said: “two little men.”
“[The two beings) were about three and a half to four feet tall; grey creatures with large egg-shaped heads.”
“It’s like a spotlight shining down on the back of my car. And it’s like it has substance to it. I can see an animal being taken up in this. I can see it squirming and trying to get free. And it’s like it’s being sucked up.”
She then went on to mention seeing her daughter Cindy on an ‘operating’ table.
She went on:
“They don’t listen, they just ignore me….go about their work as if it’s nothing. They don’t seem to have any emotions. They don’t seem to care. They just take some samples from her…”
It would be a number of years later when Judy’s daughter Cindy would also undergo regressive hypnosis. Her session only corroborated her mother’s.
Statement by Judy Doraty on February 01, 2003 at 19:48:28:
First I must say there is no doubt that abductions exist. My abduction took place in 1973. There were 16 eye witnesses to the craft, though not all remember an abduction. My daughter who was 14 at the time and myself. This was first reported to Ellington airforce base in Texas, who denied anything was on radar at the time. Our abduction was also returning from a bingo game in Houston, to our home in Texas City, first going by Alta Loma to drop off sister and brother in law.
There was another sighting of three people coming from a bingo game in Houston that got burned by the effects of the sighting. Our sighting was almost a year before theirs. So much happened that night I would not attempt to go in detail, we were all changed and have never been the same since. We were first ridiculed so much by others who were not present (family mostly) I did not talk about it for a few years. Then my husband returned home from Viet Nam and we were stationed in Yuma, AZ. I somehow heard about APRO. I called them and told them about my sighting and the very next day, a Mr. Daugherty and his wife and a doctor. who had experience in hypnosis named Rose Tennant came to my house and spent the entire day going over what happened.
Dr. Tenant regressed me and a few details came out or shall I say surfaced. I had been having terrible migraines, and just the amount of surfacing relieved much. I know I remembered a formula that was given to me by the small gray alien. I think that is what caused a lot of problems. I did not say anything to anyone else as I was still gun-shy and afraid of ridicule. A few years later I got a call from a lady Named Linda Howe. We talked a long time her trying to convince me I needed to be regressed again for a TV documentary she was doing called the Strange Harvest.
For some reason I began to trust her as she convinced me she believed what I was saying. And as all abductees know this is one of the most important things to help one get on with their life. In my abduction I witnessed a small calf being transported in a LARGE CRAFT. At that time I somehow was teleported or astroprojected or something, as I was in the craft seeing what was going on as well as standing by my car I had gotten out of to see what the huge light was that had been pacing our car for about twenty miles or so. Anyway I allowed a DR. Leo Sprinkle from the University of Wyoming to do his regression.
It was about a three hour regression, I fulfilled MS. Howe’s agenda she got an Emma for her documentary, but I was left with all the information in my head that still needed syphoning. I asked her to help me write a book to be able to tell the amazing things that I was told and shown. She agreed and then kept putting it off.
Both her and Dr. Sprinkle used my case for their own agenda and had little else to say to me. I guess I am trying to warn all of you to be careful who you trust. My main concern was I always wanted my abduction to be presented in a way that it would not be construed as a crazy woman venting her boredom. So again I pulled myself in a shell and talked to no one. I was contacted by Sightings to do a follow up and I called Linda Howe she told me it would make the story unbelievable to the average person and I should not do it, so I turned them down. Later I learned she a a rift with Mr. Wrinklier and that was the only reason she did not want me to be on the show.
Then about ten years ago I was told by someone in the UFO community who was familiar with my case that Ms. Howe had gone to Kirkland airforce base was warned to keep my mouth shut but Ms. Howe never told this to me. She told a ufologist who called me. In other words the government did not want me to say anything about a formula I was given. I became frightened and this is the first time I have shared anything. I hope some one reads this that will contact me and give me advice or help as the abduction is 30 years old, I am 63 and before I die I would love to know what many already know, and why they do not want my story told…thanks for listening.

Scientists at Liverpool’s John Moore University have successfully cloned a dinosaur, a spokesman from the university said yesterday. The dinosaur, a baby Apatosaurus nicknamed “Spot,” is currently being incubated at the University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. The scientists extracted DNA from preserved Apatosaurus fossils, which were on display at the university’s museum of natural science. Once the DNA was harvested, scientists injected it into a fertile ostrich womb.
Scientists at Liverpool’s John Moore University have successfully cloned a dinosaur, a spokesman from the university said yesterday ( = 30/05/2014).
The dinosaur, a baby Apatosaurus nicknamed “Spot,” is currently being incubated at the University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. The scientists extracted DNA from preserved Apatosaurus fossils, which were on display at the university’s museum of natural science. Once the DNA was harvested, scientists injected it into a fertile ostrich womb. “Ostriches share a lot of genetic traits with dinosaurs,” said Dr. Gerrard Jones, a biology professor at LJMU and the project’s leading scientist. “Their eggshell microstructures are almost identical to those of the Apatosaurus. That’s why the cloning worked so perfectly.”
Those in the scientific community say the dinosaur cloning – the first ever of its kind – is a milestone for genetic engineering. “I used to think this kind of thing could only happen in the movies,” said Dr. Gemma Sheridan, a LJMU chemistry professor. “But we’re making it happen right here in our lab. It’s astounding.” The cloning attracted the attention of a wide variety of animal rights activists and religious groups. They claim that animal cloning is unethical and immoral. PETA President Craig Farmer criticized the scientists for performing potentially life threatening threats on a new species. “These scientists brought an animal from the Jurassic age back to life – just to watch it suffer!” he said.
But Dr. Sheridan doesn’t seem to be bothered by the activists’ quibbling. She says that the opportunities afforded by dinosaur cloning are endless. Within ten years, we could repopulate the world with dinosaurs,” she said. As of press time, the dinosaur is in stable condition. Scientists plan to run more tests on him today.

UFO mania: According to a Government Agency, This UFO is Real...
The latest case CEFAA investigated --which has received a lot of attention from the Spanish-speaking media this week-- was a series of photographs taken during the mid of April of 2013 at the Collahuasi mine in the north of Chile, located 4,300 meters above sea level.
The images, taken by a digital Samsung camera model Kenox S860, show a silvery 'flattened disk' of approx. 5 to 10 meters in diameter at an altitude of around 600 meters, which was observed by several witnesses (35 technicians & mine workers) performing a series of aerial maneuvers --vertical & horizontal displacements, showing sometimes the disk as a lenticular object, other times as an ovoid-- for a span of 1 to 2 hours, denoting some sort of intelligent control or predetermined flight.
A meteorologist concluded the object could not have been a lenticular cloud, and after an expert analyzed the photographs using a series of filters, the official conclusion of the agency is that the object is a real UFO --which does NOT mean they're saying the disk is an interstellar alien ship; it simply means they object is not a conventional aeoronautical craft, nor a known meteorological event.
In this age of Photoshop & digital manipulation, photographic evidence is barely evidence of anything. Yet it is still comforting to know there are still researchers out there, committed to apply scientific rigor in the analysis of an image showing what very well may be a truly extraordinary phenomenon. Even more comforting, is knowing there are nations not willing to let the United States dictate them what is or isn't of significance to their national security; and if the USA wishes to retain their position as leaders of the world perhaps they should start by getting their head off the sand and acknowledge that, no matter how much they refuse to look up, the UFOs are not going anywhere.
They should also improve their performance at the World Cup, while they're at it --I mean, srsly guys.
