Glowing UFO over Pennsylvania on 30th June 2014
Glowing UFO over Pennsylvania on 30th June 2014
New interesting video footage of a glowing red UFO light recorded in the night sky above Pennsylvania on 30th June 2014.
Witness said: UFO Altoona Pa @ 10:45 p.m. on June 30th, 2014. My Granddaughter and I were sitting outside when we saw this and she captured it on her Windows 8 Phone.
Met de term de 'Rode Planeet' verwijzen we naar Mars, maar mogelijk is de planeet eigenlijk wit. De NASA-marsjeep Curiosity stuurde foto's door waarop te zien is hoe het rode stof maar een dun laagje aan de oppervlakte is. Daaronder blijkt Mars wit te zijn.
Voor alle duidelijkheid: aan de oppervlakte is Mars inderdaad de Rode Planeet. Maar de marsjeep Curiosity is uitgerust met enkele hoogtechnologische snufjes en kan daardoor inzicht verschaffen over meer dan de oppervlakte van de 'Rode Planeet'. Bij het eerste gebruik van de baanbrekende 'Dust Removal Tool' (een soort bezem of stofvod zeg maar) kregen de experts van NASA op het thuisfront al meteen straffe foto's te zien. Daaruit blijkt dat onder het rode stoflaagje Mars blinkend wit is.
Haarscherpe beelden De 'stofvod' van de Curiosity hangt aan het uiteinde van een robotarm en werd voor het eerst gebruikt op de 150ste Marsdag van de missie. Met de MAHLI (Mars Hand Lens Imager) nam de Curiosity vanop zo'n 25 centimer boven de oppervlakte de haarscherpe beelden van de witte marsbodem.
Ooit blauw? Dat is opvallend, want vorige week dook nog een theorie op dat Mars ooit blauw zou geweest zijn. Software-ingenieur Kevin Gill toverde een virtuele versie van Mars uit zijn computer op basis van hoogtegegevens van de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter van de NASA. Met alles erop en eraan zoals oceanen en flora. En de blauwe kleur. Een beetje aards dus. Een grote oceaan vult een zijde van Mars. Die voedt een van de langste valleien in ons zonnestelsel: de Vallis Marineris. De pieken van Mars' enorme vulkanen domineren de Tharsis Bulge. In die vulkanische regio situeert Gill een soort woestijn op grote hoogte, waar weinig vegetatie mogelijk is. Lagere gebieden zouden wel een natter klimaat kunnen herbergen en zo plantengroei toelaten.
Creatief "Ik had al gelijkaardige modellen voor de Aarde opgesteld en ik wilde die ook toepassen op Mars", vertelt Gill. "Het was een goede manier om meer te weten te komen over de planeet. Op deze creatieve manier kon ik de gebruikte software ook optimaliseren."
Geschiedenis Ook dankzij de Curiosity kunnen de NASA-experts de geschiedenis van Mars verder samenstellen. Uit de analyses blijkt meer en meer dat de planeet ooit een natte wereld was met heel wat aardse elementen. Zo onderzocht de marsjeep de rivierbodem van de Gale Crater, waar duidelijk ooit een rivier vloeide misschien wel meer dan een halve meter diep. Die andere marsjeep Opportunity trof ook bewijzen van klei aan. Die tonen aan dat mineralen in interactie gingen met de oppervlakte, ergens in het verleden. Verder zijn er ook bewijzen gevonden van grote rivierdelta's en oude kustlijnen.
Bemande missie Als al die fascinerende ontdekkingen over Mars ook u inspireren, kan u misschien ingaan op het aanbod van Mars One (een nonprofit-organisatie met zetel in Nederland) die een bemande missie naar Mars wil sturen in 2023. Ze rekruteren nu al astronauten voor hun plan om over tien jaar een menselijke vestiging op Mars te installeren. Elke aardbewoner kan zich kandidaat stellen als hij voldoet aan enkele basisvoorwaarden zoals "een diepgewortelde zin voor duidelijke doelen, de wil om in team te werken, een gezonde dosis zelfstandig nadenken, een stevige portie nieuwsgierigheid, creatitiviteit en energie." Voelt u zich geroepen? Eén adres: deze website!
UPDATE Honderden kilometers onder onze voeten zouden zich wel eens grote volumes water kunnen bevinden. Die theorie bestaat al langer, maar een waterrijk mineraal dat Canadese wetenschappers wisten te bemachtingen, lijkt dat te bevestigen.
Ringwoodiet, zo heet het mineraal dat een internationaal team onder leiding van Graham Pearson van de Universiteit van Alberta ontdekte in een diamant. Het mineraal, dat enkel onder grote druk ontstaat, was tot dusver al in meteorieten aangetroffen, maar nog nooit in 'aardse' vorm. Het is nu eenmaal niet mogelijk om honderden kilometers diep te graven.
De ringwoodiethoudende diamant die Pearson louter per toeval wist te bemachtigen, was door mijnwerkers in de buurt van de Braziliaanse stad Juina gevonden in een rivier. De lelijke, waardeloze diamant was via vulkanisch gesteente op het aardoppervlak terecht gekomen. En dan was er nog een toevallige ontdekking van een student van Pearson nodig om tot bij het ringwoodiet te komen.
Alle oceanen samen Na analyse blijkt dat de ringwoodiet voor 1,5 procent uit water bestaat. Die vondst bevestigt de wetenschappelijke theorie dat er 410 tot 660 kilometer diep onder onze voeten zich wel eens enorme oceanen zouden kunnen bevinden. "Dit staal levert extreem sterke bevestiging dat er zich lokale natte plekken bevinden in de aarde," zegt Pearson aan TerraDaily. Meer nog: "Die specifieke zone in de aarde zou zelfs zoveel water kunnen bevatten als alle gekende oceanen samen."
Pearson noemt het de belangrijkste ontdekking uit zijn carrière. Wetenschappers zijn sterk verdeeld over de samenstelling van de aarde op die diepte. Met de wetenschap dat er op die plaats veel water te vinden is, kunnen processen als vulkanisme en platentektoniek veel beter bestudeerd worden. "Water verandert alles aan de manier waarop de planeet werkt."
Belgisch randje De bevindingen van Pearson zijn ook verschenen in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Nature. Het onderzoek heeft ook een Belgisch randje: vorsers van de Universiteit Gent, meer bepaald de 'X-ray Microspectroscopy and Imaging group' onder leiding van professor Laszlo Vincze, van de vakgroep Analytische Chemie, leverden een belangrijke bijdrage.
A cooperative venture with all who want to discover and know the truth about the Billy Meier UFO contacts in Switzerland, ongoing since 1942
This blog is an evolutionary result of the previous debate with and about Antonio Paris of API that he himself has effectively birthed through his expressed willingness to now openly explore the evidence in the Billy Meier UFO contact case. The premise expressed in the title, the focal point, will be the one I am also using in new my cooperative venture with MUFON, which will be linked from here as soon as the page is up on their site.
This discussion is open to all interested parties and especially to all those who have long disagreed with such claims, such as those here, and anyone who, for whatever reasons, think the Meier case is a hoax, isn’t sure, wants to know the truth, etc. For many years, skeptics of the Meier case have walked in the proverbial room, yelled, “It’s a proven hoax!” and stormed out…without ever substantiating their attacks, or the ones they were parroting. Now they’re all invited to come and stay a while, participate discuss, debate but to do so using the criteria that reasonable people use to determine the truth.
This means that we will proceed in a logical, fact-seeking manner. We won’t entertain unsubstantiated claims, or attacks on anyone, pro or con the Meier case. We want to use good, logical, objective, scientifically based and oriented methodologies and thinking in examining the evidence. That includes looking at any solidly based skeptical claims.
We shall also utilize certain very reasonable, reality based, detective-like skills and methods when considering circumstances and circumstantial evidence. Certainly we will want to respect, encompass and utilize any and all criteria that reasonable people use to determine the truth. The processes and criteria we will use in examining the Meier case will of course be applicable for examining any other claimed UFO cases, for those who wish to do so.
Why UFOs?
Why, if I’ve said for over 16 years that the really important parts of the Meier case are to be found in the prophetic information and ultimately in the spiritual teaching, is all this time still spent discussing UFOs? Many of us already take the existence of extraterrestrial life and their flying craft as established facts. But so far the world of science doesn’t, perhaps because they haven’t yet examined the best evidence or used the criteria that reasonable people use to determine the truth. To present incontrovertible evidence for the existence of, and contact with, extraterrestrial life forms would be unprecedented; it would be the most important discovery in all of science…and human history.
The fact of the matter is that this overall (and sometimes deservedly) much maligned, marginalized and tabloidized topic of UFOs has provoked a controversy for a reason. Let’s also realize that the reason isn’t for people to be chasing illusive lights in the sky, and thereby their own tails, nor is it to create careers for speakers and “UFO experts”.
UFOs exist, by definition, and the truth about what they are, who’s responsible for them and the reason for them is exactly what we want to determine. And I think we have a historically unique opportunity to do just that.
The Truth
To find and know the real truth is akin to discovering an inexhaustible treasure, one that is actually…free for all of humanity to partake of. That kind of stuff is not what the proponents of the old profit-motivated model of domination over others are really too thrilled about. Hence, they have seen to it that the term UFO has largely become associated with “evil aliens”, hoaxes, mere entertainment and all sorts of other deliberately misleading disinformation.
The truth is all that matters and will always, ultimately prevail. So let’s come together and see what we’ve actually got here. And let’s start by defining the criteria that reasonable people use to determine the truth and hit the road running by applying it to determining the authenticity of this photograph of the WCUFO, taken in 1981, with a 35mm film camera:
WCUFO extended cupola
If we can agree that PhotoShop is a credible tool for this process, then the suggestion is to enhance the brightness of this image and perhaps lower the contrast.
What is the result that you get?

Une nouvelle planète tellurique, OGLE-2013-BLG-0341, découverte par la technique du microlensing gravitationnel, à 3000 AL de la Terre. Elle gravite autour d'une des deux composantes d'un système binaire. Bien qmère, ce qui la situerait dans la ZH de notre système, son soleil est beaucoupplus faible que Sol. Ainsi, la planète est plus froide que la Terre, plus froide, en fait,qu'Europe, environ -213° C. Brrr !
COLUMBUS, Ohio—A newly discovered planet in a binary star system located 3,000 light-years from Earth is expanding astronomers’ notions of where Earth-like—and even potentially habitable—planets can form, and how to find them.
At twice the mass of Earth, the planet orbits one of the stars in the binary system at almost exactly the same distance from which Earth orbits the sun. However, because the planet’s host star is much dimmer than the sun, the planet is much colder than the Earth—a little colder, in fact, than Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.
Andrew Gould
Four international research teams, led by professor Andrew Gould of The Ohio State University, published their discovery in the July 4 issue of the journal Science.
The study provides the first evidence that terrestrial planets can form in orbits similar to Earth’s, even in a binary star system where the stars are not very far apart. Although this planet itself is too cold to be habitable, the same planet orbiting a sun-like star in such a binary system would be in the so-called “ habitable zone” —the region where conditions might be right for life.
“This greatly expands the potential locations to discover habitable planets in the future,” said Scott Gaudi, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. “Half the stars in the galaxy are in binary systems. We had no idea if Earth-like planets in Earth-like orbits could even form in these systems. ”
Very rarely, the gravity of a star focuses the light from a more distant star and magnifies it like a lens. Even more rarely, the signature of a planet appears within that magnified light signal. The technique astronomers use to find such planets is called gravitational microlensing , and computer modeling of these events is complicated enough when only one star and its planet are acting as the lens, much less two stars.
Scott Gaudi
When the astronomers succeeded in detecting this new planet, they were able to document that it produced two separate signatures—the primary one, which they typically use to detect planets, and a secondary one that had previously been only hypothesized to exist.Searching for planets within binary systems is tricky for most techniques, because the light from the second star complicates the interpretation of the data. "But in gravitational microlensing,” Gould explained, "we don't even look at the light from the star-planet system. We just observe how its gravity affects light from a more distant, unrelated, star. This gives us a new tool to search for planets in binary star systems."
The first was a brief dimming of light, as the planet’s gravity disrupted one of the magnified images of the source star. But the second effect was an overall distortion of the light signal.
“Even if we hadn’t seen the initial signature of the planet, we could still have detected it from the distortion alone,” Gould said, pointing to a graph of the light signal. “The effect is not obvious. You can't see it by eye, but the signal is unmistakable in the computer modeling.”
Gaudi explained the implications.
“Now we know that with gravitational microlensing, it’s actually possible to infer the existence of a planet—and to know its mass, and its distance from a star—without directly detecting the dimming due to the planet,” he said. “We thought we could do that in principle, but now that we have empirical evidence, we can use this method to find planets in the future.”
The nature of these distortions is still somewhat of a mystery, he admitted.
“We don't have an intuitive understanding of why it works. We have some idea, but at this point, I think it would be fair to say that it’s at the frontier of our theoretical work.”
The planet, called OGLE-2013-BLG-0341LBb, first appeared as a “dip” in the line tracing the brightness data taken by the OGLE (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) telescope on April 11, 2013. The planet briefly disrupted one of the images formed by the star it orbits as the system crossed in front of a much more distant star 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius.
“Before the dip, this was just another microlensing event,” Gould said. It was one of approximately 2,000 discovered every year by OGLE, with its new large-format camera that monitors 100 million stars many times per night searching for such events.
“It’s really the new OGLE-IV survey that made this discovery possible,” he added. “They got a half dozen measurements of that dip and really nailed it.” From the form of the dip, whose “wings” were traced out in MOA (Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics) data, they could see that the source was headed directly toward the central star.
Then, for two weeks, astronomers watched the magnified light continue to brighten from telescopes in Chile, New Zealand, Israel and Australia. The teams included OGLE, MOA, MicroFUN (the Microlensing Follow Up Network), and the Wise Observatory .
Even then, they still didn’t know that the planet’s host star had another companion—a second star locked into orbit with it. But because they were already paying close attention to the signal, the astronomers noticed when the binary companion unexpectedly caused a huge eruption of light called a caustic crossing.
By the time they realized that the lens was not one star, but two, they had captured a considerable amount of data—and made a surprising discovery: the distortion.
Weeks after all signs of the planet had faded, the light from the binary-lens caustic crossing became distorted, as if there were a kind of echo of the original planet signal.
Intensive computer analysis by professor Cheongho Han at Chungbuk National University in Korea revealed that the distortion contained information about the planet—its mass, separation from its star, and orientation—and that information matched perfectly with what astronomers saw during their direct observation of the dip due to the planet. So the same information can be captured from the distortion alone.
This detailed analysis showed that the planet is twice the mass of Earth, and orbits its star from an Earth-like distance, around 90 million miles. But its star is 400 times dimmer than our sun, so the planet is very cold—around 60 Kelvin (-352 degrees Fahrenheit or -213 Celsius), which makes it a little colder than Jupiter’s moon Europa. The second star in the star system is only as far from the first star as Saturn is from our sun. But this binary companion, too, is very dim.
Still, binary star systems composed of dim stars like these are the most common type of star system in our galaxy, the astronomers said. So this discovery suggests that there may be many more terrestrial planets out there—some possibly warmer, and possibly harboring life.
Three other planets have been discovered in binary systems that have similar separations, but using a different technique. This is the first one close to Earth-like size that follows an Earth-like orbit, and its discovery within a binary system by gravitational microlensing was by chance.
“Normally, once we see that we have a binary, we stop observing. The only reason we took such intensive observations of this binary is that we already knew there was a planet,” Gould said. “In the future we’ll change our strategy.”
In particular, Gould singled out the work of amateur astronomer and frequent collaborator Ian Porritt of Palmerston North, New Zealand, who watched for gaps in the clouds on the night of April 24 to get the first few critical measurements of the jump in the light signal that revealed that the planet was in a binary system. Six other amateurs from New Zealand and Australia contributed as well.
Les énigmatiques structures métalliques dela "vallée de la mort" en Sibérie
Très peu peuplée, la vaste région du Yakutia, en Sibérie, est parsemée d'étranges structures métalliques et manifeste les stigmates évidents d'explosions de type nucléaire se produisant tous les six ou sept siècles.
Au nord-ouest du Yakutia, en Sibérie, dans le bassin de la haute rivière Viliuy, s'étend une région d'accès difficile qui porte les marques d'un cataclysme ancien d'environ 800 ans responsable de la dévastation de l'ensemble du massif forestier et de la dispersion des roches sur une surface de plusieurs centaines de kilomètres carrés. Éparpillés dans cette zone, de mystérieux objets métalliques ont été régulièrement observés, enfouis plus ou moins profondément dans le permafrost. A la surface, leur présence n'est trahie que par des sites occupés par une étrange végétation. L'ancien nom de cette région : Uliuiu Cherkechekh signifie : "la Vallée de la Mort".
Depuis des années, le peuple Yakut a fui cette lointaine région qui a exercé, et exerce encore, une influence puissante sur le sort, non seulement des sociétés locales, mais de la planète entière. Après avoir compulsé de nombreux rapports et documents de tous genres, nous avons décidé de vous informer d'une chose qui pourrait changer notre perception du monde et celle de notre place en son sein, en espérant que vous saurez y trouver quelque intérêt. Afin de dépeindre un tableau le plus achevé possible, nous avons scindé en trois cet article. La première partie décrit les faits et donne les témoignages sous leur forme originale. La seconde examine les anciennes légendes locales et la poésie épique de peuplades voisines au sujet d'étranges phénomènes. Ceci est important car vous pourrez ainsi mener votre propre enquête et apprécier par vous-mêmes chaque détail de la narration. Enfin, nous envisagerons ce qui pourrait se cacher derrière tout cela [N d. E : voir 2e partie].
Témoignages
La région peut être décrite comme un immense marécage, alternant avec une taïga quasiment infranchissable, et couvrant une surface de plus 100 000 kilomètres carrés. De curieuses rumeurs circulent à son sujet à propos de structures métalliques d'origine inconnue réparties sur son étendue. Pour découvrir l'origine de ces rumeurs qui, de manière imperceptible, sont restées persistantes sur le sujet, nous avons dû plonger dans l'histoire antique locale pour redécouvrir ses croyances et ses légendes. Nous sommes parvenus à reconstituer certains éléments de paléotoponymie et ceux-ci coïncident étonnamment avec le contenu des légendes anciennes. Tout indiquait que les légendes et rumeurs faisaient référence à des sites bien précis.
Dans les temps anciens, la Vallée de la Mort était sur la toute empruntée par les nomades Evenk. Elle reliait Bodaibo à Annybar et menait jusqu'à la côte de la Mer de Laptev. Jusqu'en 1936 un marchand du nom de Savvinov fit son commerce sur cette route. Lorsqu'il cessa ses activités les habitants abandonnèrent progressivement les lieux. Finalement le vieux marchand et sa petite fille Zina s'installèrent à Siuldiukar. Quelque part sur une bande de terre entre deux rivières, en un lieu connu sous le nom de Kheldyu ("maison de fer" en langue locale), le vieil homme la conduisit à une petite arche basse de couleur rougeâtre où, après un passage en spirale, se succédaient un certain nombre de chambres de métal dans lesquelles ils passèrent la nuit. Le grand-père de Zina lui raconta que, même par temps de gel des plus sévères, il y faisait chaud comme en été. Il y eut jadis, parmi les chasseurs locaux, des hommes téméraires qui venaient dormir dans ces chambres. Mais ils tombaient par la suite gravement malades et ceux qui y avaient séjourné plusieurs nuits d'affilée trépassaient rapidement. Les Yakut donnèrent à ces sites la réputation d'être "très maléfiques, marécageux et évités par les animaux." La localisation de ces constructions n'était connue que des anciens chasseurs qui les avaient visitées. Nomades, ils connaissaient les particularités de la région. Pour eux, savoir où il était prudent d'aller et où il ne l'était pas constituait une nécessité vitale. Leurs descendants, devenus sédentaires, ont perdu cette connaissance. Aujourd'hui, les seuls indices de l'existence de ces sites sont les noms anciens de lieux qui ont survécu partiellement dans diverses légendes. Mais chaque toponyme recouvre des centaines, voire, des milliers de kilomètres carrés.
En 1936, le long de la rivière Olguidakh ("lieu du chaudron"), un géologue guidé par de vieux indigènes découvrit une coupole hémisphérique de métal lisse, de ton rougeâtre, dépassant du sol et dont le bord était si tranchant qu'on pouvait s'y "couper un ongle". La paroi était épaisse d'environ deux centimètres et la partie émergeant du sol représentait environ un cinquième du diamètre total. La coupole était inclinée, de sorte qu'un cavalier monté à dos de renne pouvait y pénétrer: Le géologue envoya une description àYakutsk, le centre régional. En 1979 une expédition archéologique partie de Yakutsk tenta de retrouver cet hémisphère. Les membres de l'équipe étaient accompagnés d'un guide qui avait vu la structure plusieurs fois dans sa jeunesse, mais il déclara que le pays avait beaucoup changé et ils ne parvinrent pas à en retrouver la trace. Il faut dire que dans ce pays on peut passer à dix pas d'un objet sans le voir, ce qui explique le caractère fortuit des découvertes. En 1853, R. Maakun, explorateur connu dans la région, écrivait: "A Suntar (un hameau du Yakut) on m'apprit que dans la haute vallée de la Viliuy coule un affluent appelé Algy timirbit (ce qui signifie "le grand chaudron coulé"). Près de sa rive, dans la forêt, se trouve un gigantesque chaudron en cuivre. Sa taille réelle reste inconnue car seul un bord dépasse du sol, mais plusieurs arbres poussent à l'intérieur... " N.D. Arkhipov, un chercheur des anciennes cultures du Yakutia, rapporte la même chose : "Parmi les populations du bassin de la Viliuy circule une légende ancienne concernant l'existence, dans le cours supérieur de cette rivière, de chaudrons en bronze ou olguis. Cette légende mérite qu'on s'y intéresse car les régions supposées receler ces chaudrons mythiques sont baignées de plusieurs cours d'eau portant le nom de Olguidakh, c'est-à-dire "Rivière du Chaudron".
Voici un extrait d'une lettre écrite en 1996 par un autre visiteur de la Vallée de la Mort, Mikhail Koretsky, de Vladivostok : "J'y suis allé trois fois. La première fois c'était en 1933, j'avais dix ans. Je voyageais avec mon père, à la recherche d'un moyen de subsistance. Ensuite en 1937, sans mon père. Et la dernière fois en 1947 avec un groupe de jeunes. La Vallée de la Mort s'étend le long d'un affluent de la rive droite de la Viliuy. En fait il s'agit d'un chapelet de vallées tout au long de sa plaine inondable. Chaque fois, nous étions accompagnés d'un guide Yakut. Nous n'y allions pas en quête de douceur de vivre, mais d'or sans crainte en fin de saison, de se faire voler ou de recevoir une balle dans la nuque, grâce à l'isolement de la région. Quant aux objets mystérieux, il doit y en avoir un grand nombre, car en trois saisons j'ai vu sept de ces "chaudrons". Ils m'ont laissé complètement perplexe, d'abord par leur taille : ils avaient tous six à neuf mètres de diamètre. Ensuite à cause de l'étrange métal dont ils étaient faits. Tout le monde a écrit que c'était du cuivre, mais je suis certain qu'il s'agissait d'un autre élément car même avec un ciseau à froid très affûté il n'y avait pas moyen d'entamer les chaudrons (nous avons essayé plusieurs fois). Ce métal ne se rompt pas et ne peut être martelé, alors que sur du cuivre, le marteau aurait certainement laissé des marques. Mais ce "cuivre" est recouvert d'une couche d'un matériau inconnu qui ressemble à de l'émeri. Ce n'est pourtant ni un produit de l'oxydation, ni d'écailles métalliques. On ne parvient ni à l'ébrécher, ni à en griffer la surface. Nous n'avons pas trouvé de galeries menant à d'autres salles. Mais j'ai remarqué, autour des chaudrons, que la végétation était anormale, complètement différente de celle des environs. Elle est plus luxuriante : des bardanes à grandes feuilles; du garrot de grande longueur; de l'herbe étrange, une fois et demie à deux fois la hauteur d'un homme. Dans un de ces chaudrons notre groupe de six personnes passa la nuit. Nous n'avons rien perçu de néfaste et nous sommes partis calmement sans avoir subi le moindre désagrément. Personne n'est tombé gravement malade par la suite. Les seules exceptions furent qu'un de mes amis perdit tous ses cheveux trois mois plus tard, et que sur le côté gauche de ma tête, celui sur lequel j'avais dormi, sont apparus trois petits points douloureux de la taille d'un souffre d'allumette. J'ai depuis essayé de m'en débarrasser, en vain. Malgré tous nos efforts, nous ne sommes pas parvenus à prélever le moindre échantillon de ces chaudrons. La seule chose que j'ai pu ramener est une pierre. Pas une pierre ordinaire cependant : la moitié d'une sphère parfaite de six centimètres de diamètre. Elle était noire et ne portait aucune trace de manufacture, pourtant elle était lisse comme si elle avait été polie. Je l'ai ramassée sur le sol d'un des chaudrons. J'ai emmené mon souvenir de Yakutia au village de Samarka, district de Chuguyevka, dans la région de Primorsky (l'extrême orient soviétique), où résidaient mes parents en 1933. Je n'avais pas grand-chose à faire jusqu'à ce que ma grand-mère décide de construire une maison. Il fallait poser les vitres des fenêtres et il n'y avait pas un seul diamant coupe-verre dans tout le village. Alors, j'ai entrepris de rayer le verre avec le bord de cette demi-sphère de pierre et il s'est avéré que cela coupait avec une facilité déconcertante. A partir de ce moment ma pierre fut utilisée régulièrement comme diamant par tous nos proches et amis. En 1937, j'en fis cadeau à mon grand père, mais à l'automne de cette même année il fut arrêté et emmené à Magadan où il survécut sans jugement jusqu'à sa mort en 1968. Aujourd'hui, personne ne sait ce qu'est devenue ma pierre..." Dans cette lettre, Koretsky souligne qu'en 1933 son guide Yakut lui avait raconté que "...cinq à dix ans auparavant il avait découvert plusieurs chaudrons sphériques (ils étaient parfaitement ronds) qui dépassaient bien au-dessus du sol (plus haut qu'un homme). Ils avaient l'air tout neufs. Plus tard, le chasseur les avait revus, cette fois brisés et éparpillés". Koretsky fait également remarquer que lorsqu'il fit une deuxième visite, quelques années plus tard, à un des chaudrons, celui-ci s'était considérablement enfoncé dans le sol. A. Gutenev et Yu. Mikhailovsky, deux chercheurs résidant à Mirny en Yakutia, rapportèrent qu'en 1971, un vieux chasseur appartenant au peuple Evenk leur avait appris que, dans la zone entre les deux rivières appelées Niugun Bootur ("héros flamboyant") et Atadarak ("lieu du harpon à trois bords"), dépasse du sol la chose qui précisément donne son nom au lieu : un "très grand" harpon en fer à trois facettes. Tandis que dans la zone dite Kheliugur ("peuple de fer"), entre deux rivières, il y a un terrier en fer où gisent "des cyclopes, minces et noirs, vêtus de fer". Il se déclara capable d'y conduire quiconque le désirait, affirmant la proximité du site, mais personne ne le crut. Il est mort depuis. Un autre de ces objets fut, semble-t-il, couvert par la construction d'un barrage sur la Viliuy, un peu en aval de la Erbiie. Selon le récit d'un des constructeurs du projet hydroélectrique de la Viliuy, lorsqu'ils creusèrent un canal de déviation pour assécher le talweg principal ils découvrirent une "plaque" convexe en métal. Pressés par les délais, les responsables du projet firent une inspection de routine et donnèrent l'ordre de poursuivre les travaux.
Il existe une foison de récits émanant de personnes qui sont tombées par hasard sur des constructions de ce genre, mais à défaut d'indications précises il est extrêmement difficile de les localiser, tant ce pays est d'une monotonie déprimante. Certains anciens ont un jour raconté que, dans un lieu appelé Tong Duurai, coule un ruisseau appelé Ottoamokh ("des trous dans le sol") autour duquel existent des cavités incroyablement profondes connues sous le nom de "gouffres ricanants". Cette même appellation apparaît dans des légendes qui y situent la demeure d'un géant flamboyant et destructeur des alentours. Chaque six ou sept siècles, une monstrueuse boule de feu jaillit de ce lieu et, soit explose juste après sa sortie, soit s'envole dans le lointain pour (selon les chroniques et légendes locales) exploser au loin. Elle a pour effet de transformer une région s'étendant sur des centaines de kilomètres en un désert calciné parsemé d'éclats rocheux. Les légendes Yakutes font de nombreuses références à des explosions, tourbillons de feu et autres sphères incandescentes montant dans les airs. Tous ces phénomènes sont, de toutes façons, associés aux mystérieuses constructions métalliques que l'on trouve dans la Vallée de la Mort. Certaines sont décrites comme des "maisons de fer" grandes et rondes prenant appui sur un certain nombre de supports latéraux. Elles n'ont ni porte ni fenêtre, seulement un "large trou d'homme" au sommet du dôme. Certaines se sont presque entièrement enfoncées dans le permafrost, ne laissant apparaître en surface qu'une protubérance arquée à peine visible. Des témoins qui ne se connaissent pas décrivent de la même manière ces "maisons de métal sonore". D'autres objets sont éparpillés dans la région comme des couvercles, sphériques en métal qui coiffent quelque chose d'inconnu. Les légendes Yakutes racontent que les mystérieuses sphères de feu sont produites par "un orifice qui crache la fumée et le feu" au centre d'un "couvercle d'acier fracassant".

Les légendes Yakutes font de nombreuses références à des explosions, tourbillons de feu et autres sphères incandescentes montant dans les airs. Tous ces phénomènes sont, de toutes façons, associés aux mystérieuses constructions métalliques que l'on trouve dans la Vallée de la Mort. Certaines sont décrites comme des "maisons de fer" grandes et rondes prenant appui sur un certain nombre de supports latéraux. Elles n'ont ni porte ni fenêtre, seulement un "large trou d'homme" au sommet du dôme. Certaines se sont presque entièrement enfoncées dans le permafrost, ne laissant apparaître en surface qu'une protubérance arquée à peine visible. Des témoins qui ne se connaissent pas décrivent de la même manière ces "maisons de métal sonore". D'autres objets sont éparpillés dans la région comme des couvercles, sphériques en métal qui coiffent quelque chose d'inconnu. Les légendes Yakutes racontent que les mystérieuses sphères de feu sont produites par "un orifice qui crache la fumée et le feu" au centre d'un "couvercle d'acier fracassant".
Il s'agit aussi de la source des tourbillons de feu qui, d'après les descriptions, ressemblent fort aux effets des explosions atomiques d'aujourd'hui. Environ un siècle avant chaque explosion ou série d'explosions, une sphère flamboyante fusait à très grande vitesse de "l'orifice de fer" et, sans causer trop de dégâts, montait sous la forme d'une mince colonne de feu. Au bout de celle-ci apparaissait une très grande boule de feu. Accompagnée de quatre coups de tonnerre successifs, elle montait encore beaucoup plus haut et s'éloignait en laissant une "traînée de fumée et de feu". Ensuite une salve d'explosions se faisait entendre au loin... Dans les années 1950, les militaires soviétiques s'intéressèrent à cette région, pour le caractère dépeuplé de sa frange nord, et y firent une série d'essais atomiques. Une des explosions souleva une sérieuse énigme qui à ce jour interpelle les spécialistes étrangers. Selon un communiqué de septembre 1991 de la radio allemande Deutsche Welle, lors de l'essai d'un engin nucléaire de 10 kg en 1954, l'ampleur de l'explosion dépassa les calculs d'un facteur de 2 000 à 3 000 pour des raisons inconnues, atteignant 20 à 30 mégatonnes, ce qui fut enregistré par séismographie dans le monde entier. La cause d'un tel écart de puissance explosive demeure inexpliquée. L'Agence Tass avait alors émis une dépêche selon laquelle une bombe à hydrogène compacte avait été testée dans l'atmosphère, qui se révélera fausse plus tard. Après les essais, des zones interdites furent délimitées et le travail continua en secret pendant plusieurs années.
Mythes et légendes
Cherchons dans le passé lointain les indices laissés dans la poésie épique. Ainsi qu'en témoignent les légendes transmises par voie orale, à l'époque lointaine où tout commença, le pays était habité par un petit nombre de nomades Tungus. Un jour, leurs lointains voisins virent leur territoire brusquement plongé dans une obscurité profonde et tout fut secoué par une déflagration assourdissante. Un ouragan de force inconnue survint et le pays subit d'énormes chocs. Des éclairs zébrèrent le ciel en tous sens. Lorsque le calme revint et que l'obscurité se leva, les nomades assistèrent à un spectacle sans précédent. Au milieu du pays dévasté, brillant au soleil, se dressait une haute structure verticale visible à une distance de plusieurs jours de marche. Pendant longtemps, la structure émit des bruits désagréables et assourdissants tout en diminuant progressivement de taille jusqu'à disparaître complètement dans le sol. A la place de la haute structure il y eut un immense orifice vertical béant. Selon les termes étranges des légendes il était constitué de trois niveaux de "gouffres ricanants". Ses entrailles étaient réputées contenir un pays souterrain possédant son propre soleil, lequel était cependant en voie d'extinction. Une puanteur étouffante montait de l'orifice, si bien que personne ne demeura dans le voisinage. A distance on pouvait parfois apercevoir une "île tournoyante" apparaissant au-dessus de l'ouverture et ceci s'avéra en être le "couvercle retentissant". Ceux que la curiosité poussait à s'approcher pour voir n'en revenaient jamais. Les siècles passèrent ; la vie continua comme auparavant. Personne ne s'attendait à quoi que ce soit d'extraordinaire, mais un jour se produisit un petit tremblement de terre et le ciel fut traversé par un mince "ouragan de feu". A son sommet apparut une boule de feu aveuglante. Accompagnée "d'une série de quatre coups de tonnerre" et laissant derrière elle une traînée de feu, la sphère fila en suivant une trajectoire basse descendante et, après avoir disparu derrière l'horizon, explosa. Les nomades furent perturbés mais n'abandonnèrent pas leur territoire puisque le "démon" ne leur avait fait aucun mal mais avait explosé sur celui d'une tribu hostile voisine. Quelques décennies plus tard, l'événement se reproduisit : la boule de feu s'envola dans la même direction et ne détruisit, cette fois encore, que les voisins. De toute évidence, ce "démon" était en quelque sorte leur protecteur qu'ils baptisèrent pour la légende : Niurgun Bootur, "le héros flamboyant". Cependant, quelques temps plus tard, survint un événement qui épouvanta même ceux qui se trouvaient dans les parages les plus lointains. Une gigantesque boule de feu jaillit de l'ouverture dans un hurlement tonitruant et explosa:.. juste au-dessus ! Il s'ensuivit un grand tremblement de terre. Certaines collines se fendirent de failles de plus de 100 mètres de profondeur. Après l'explosion, une "île rotative" balaya tout sous elle d'une "mer de feu". Les effets de l'explosion se firent sentir à plus de mille kilomètres à la ronde. Les tribus nomades qui survécurent à la périphérie de cette zone s'enfuirent dans toutes les directions, cherchant à s'éloigner du lieu fatal, mais cela ne les sauva pas de la mort. Ils succombèrent tous à une curieuse maladie qui ne se transmettait que génétiquement. Ils léguèrent cependant le témoignage précis de ce qui était arrivé, inspirant les très tragiques et belles légendes composées par les conteurs Yakut. Un peu plus de 600 années s'écoulèrent. De nombreuses générations de nomades étaient venues et reparties. Les avertissements des lointains ancêtres furent oubliés et des gens s'installèrent à nouveau dans la région. Alors l'histoire se répéta... La boule de feu de Niurgun Bootur apparut au-dessus d'un tourbillon flamboyant et s'en alla encore exploser au-delà de l'horizon. Quelques décennies plus tard, une deuxième boule de feu déchira l'atmosphère (ou l'appela cette fois Kiun Erbiie, "le héraut aérien étincelant" ou "messager"). Vint alors une autre explosion dévastatrice à laquelle les légendes donnèrent à nouveau une tournure anthropomorphique. On lui donna le nom de Uot Usumu Tong Duurai, qui peut se traduire approximativement par "l'étranger criminel qui perça la terre et se cacha dans les profondeurs, détruisant tout aux alentours dans un tourbillon flamboyant".
Il importe de noter qu'à la veille du vol du géant nuisible Tong Duurai, apparut dans le ciel le messager du Dyesegei céleste, le champion Kiun Erbiie qui traversa le firmament comme un "bolide tombant" ou "éclair fulgurant" pour avertir Niurgun Bootur du combat imminent. L'événement légendaire le plus significatif fut le jaillissement de Tong Duurai des profondeurs et livrant bataille à Niurgun Bootur. Cela se produisit à peu près comme suit : tout d'abord un tourbillon serpentaire ramifié jaillit de "l'orifice", surmonté d'une boule de feu gigantesque qui, après plusieurs coups de tonnerre, fonça haut dans le ciel. Elle était suivie d'une escorte, "un essaim de tourbillons fatals" qui dévastèrent les environs. Mais il y eut des cas où Tong Duurai rencontra Niurgun Bootur au-dessus de sa source, après quoi le pays resta sans vie pendant longtemps. Les descriptions varient considérablement : plusieurs "héros flamboyants" pouvaient surgir de l'ouverture simultanément, voler quelque distance et exploser en un lieu. Tel fut le vol de Tong Duurai. Une étude des couches de terrain indique que l'intervalle entre les explosions ne dépassait pas 600 à 700 ans. Ces légendes sont le reflet vivant de ces événements, mais l'absence de tradition écrite nous prive de documents tangibles. Il semble cependant que cette lacune est compensée par les chroniques historiques d'autres peuples.
Les chroniques d'autres ethnies
Dans l'ensemble, à des intervalles de 600 à 700 ans, se produisirent plusieurs explosions, ou plutôt une combinaison d'événements dont certains n'étaient qu'annonciateurs. Tous ces faits furent soigneusement relatés par la poésie épique, les traditions et les légendes. Curieusement, des légendes similaires circulent dans les zones équatoriales de la planète, où des explosions ou "boules de feu géantes" apparues soudainement dans le ciel détruisirent plusieurs civilisations anciennes. À en juger par les résultats d'études archéologiques menées dans la haute vallée de la Viliuy par SA. Fedoseyeva, l'occupation variable intermittente de ce territoire remonte au quatrième millénaire avant J.-C. Au cours du premier millénaire après J-C., le fil de l'histoire est interrompu, et cela n'est pas en contradiction avec la date possible de la dernière explosion historique, soit septembre 1380. Le nuage soulevé masqua le soleil sur l'Europe pendant plusieurs heures. Des séismes violents eurent lieu dans plusieurs zones géoactives. Cet événement est consigné dans des documents écrits. Dans les chroniques russes, cela coïncide avec la bataille du Champ de Kulikovo : "...l'obscurité ne se dissipa que dans la deuxième moitié de la journée. Il souffla un vent d'une telle force qu'une flèche tirée d'un arc ne pouvait progresser contre lui..." Ce fait contribua à la victoire des Russes. Cependant les explosions sont décrites de manière bien plus vivante dans les légendes Tungus que dans d'autres sources. A en juger par les récits, elles dépassaient de loin la puissance des armes nucléaires modernes. Si nous adoptons comme date de départ 1380 et que nous remontons dans le passé nous pouvons repérer ces faits. Par exemple, en 830 fut détruite la culture des Mayas qui occupaient la péninsule du Yucatan au Mexique. Plusieurs de leurs villes furent ruinées par une explosion de puissance gigantesque. Certains épisodes de la Bible ressemblent aux légendes Yakut, par exemple la description des plaies d'Égypte et l'anéantissement de Sodome et Gomorrhe. Dans une oasis de la péninsule arabe, une ville ancienne fut détruite et littéralement réduite en cendres. Selon la légende, ceci se produisit lorsqu'une énorme boule de feu apparut dans le ciel et explosa. Les archéologues ont découvert une cité dévastée à Mohenjo-Daro, dans le sous-continent indien. [Ndt : cf. Nexus France numéros 11 et 12, sept. et nov. 2000]. Les traces de la catastrophe, des murs de pierre fondus, indiquent sans conteste une explosion de type nucléaire. Des événements similaires sont décrits dans des chroniques chinoises du XIVème siècle. Elles racontent que, loin dans le nord, un nuage noir s'éleva au-dessus de l'horizon et couvrit la moitié du ciel, projetant de gros morceaux de roche. Des pierres tombèrent aussi du ciel en Scandinavie et en Allemagne et des incendies éclatèrent dans plusieurs villes. Les savants prétendirent que c'était des pierres très ordinaires et qu'un volcan devait avoir fait irruption quelque part. La cause de tous ces malheurs ne serait-elle pas Tong Duurai qui depuis des siècles jaillit du sol ? Tandis qu'à son apparition Niurgun Bootur obscurcit la moitié du ciel, Tong Duurai le dépasse en taille et, montant au ciel, disparaît complètement. Nous observons que dans la Vallée de la Mort, la radioactivité ambiante augmente à des intervalles réguliers, un phénomène que les spécialistes ne peuvent expliquer.

Pyramid In Crimea Built Before The Age Of The Dinosaurs - Is This Discovery Of The Century?-...
Pyamid In Crimea Built Before The Age Of The Dinosaurs - Is This Discovery Of The Century?-...
MessageToEagle.com - This could be the discovery of the century.
A scientist says he accidentally discovered a pyramid in Crimea, Ukraine. The pyramid is said to have been built before the time of the dinosaurs!
The Crimean peninsula is a fascinating place in terms of ancient history and archaeology, and was invaded and inhabited by all sorts of tribes and nations, from Cimmerians, Greeks and Romans to the Genoese, Kumans and Osman Turks.
As the ICTV channel reported, the finding was revealed by accident, when during his test alternative methods of finding water Ukrainian scientist Vitalii Goh discovered underground unknown object, which proved to be a giant pyramid of 45 meters in height and a length of about 72 meters.
The pyramids were built in the era of the dinosaurs," says the scientist in an interview with ICTV. It remains unknown who build the pyramid. The unique building is the oldest on the planet, says Vitalii Goh.
"Crimean pyramid" has a truncated top, like a Mayan pyramid, but its appearance is more like an Egyptian.
It is hollow inside, and a mummy of unknown creature is buried under the foundation.
"Under the foundation is a small body in the form of a mummy long 1.3-1.4 meters with a crown on his head."
"There is a resonance chamber of so-called Sphinx.
Is the world's oldest pyramid located in Ukraine?
According to European Pyramids "there are said to exist 37 pyramids on the Crimean peninsula down southeast along the coast line. 7 underground pyramids - as claimed - were found by Dr.Gokh near Sebastopol.
Tens of scientists from different countries explore a place in Sebastopol, where seven ancient pyramids are presumably hidden underground. Archeological dig is underway.
Sebastopol researcher Vitaly Gokh found the whereabouts of pyramids with the help of his unique patented invention, which lets to define any substances underground. For several years he has made a search of minerals and water. Detailed analysis of one of the found constructions showed not natural, but artificial character of its creation.
It is hollow inside, and a mummy of unknown creature is buried under the foundation.
"We found extremely strong formation, which includes animal protein, gypsum, liquid glass, gravel. It is a man-caused pyramid, which radiates specific energy in certain periods" Vitaly Gokh narrated. Ihor Kotelyanets, aid of the head of Sebastopol national university of nuclear energy and industry, together with enthusiasts decided to confirm or refute the discovery.
More than 20 commissions, including international ones, have visited the place recently.
The majority of scientists consider that underground pyramids of Sebastopol confirm the guess of American scientists about that 65 million years ago an ancient civilization died out because of fall of giant meteorite. "
This discovery is without doubt intriguing, but more investigations needs to be done before the age and origin of the pyramid can be determined.
In the life of military personnel their primary duty is to carry out orders based upon policy implemented by their government without questioning it. In the realm of the UFO that many times has led to the death or disappearance of our brave armed services pilots. All over the world, pilots of various international air forces are confronted by the unknown and play a game of cat and mouse with fate as a result. It is important to keep in mind the primary mentality of these brave pilots is to patrol and defend the air space of their nations.
I am sure that this was very much in the mind of one Japanese National Defense Force pilot as he engaged an unknown red disk off the mainland of his Island nation over the Pacific Ocean. In 1973, according to the book “Above Top Secret” the interceptor pilot aggressively pursued the unknown airborne object in a series of acrobatic maneuvers in his F-4 Phantom, then the pre-eminent tactical fighter bomber in the world, but tragedy struck when the two crafts collided in mid-air. When both Japanese pilots ejected the rear seat weapons officer looked on in horror as his superior officer fell 30,000 feet to his death when his parachute caught fire.
Dead in the blink of an eye
Thanks to an NSA intercept a fatal incident involving a Cuban Air Force pilot and the violation of his nation’s air space by an unidentified sphere was revealed. As the unknown aerial object approached Cuba and was detected by defense radar. Two MIG 21’s were scrambled in response. Once within distance of the aerial intruder, the senior officer began attempts at hailing the object on several frequencies to no avail. Intending to force the UFO to land failed. According to rules of engagement the next step would be offensive. While arming his AMRAM air to air missiles his aircraft inexplicably disintegrated in a flash of smoke and fire. His wing man, horrified at the sudden death of his comrade continued screaming for several minutes as the reflective sphere departed the area untouched and unchallenged.
Disappearance of the bravest
In his book “Majestic” novelist and producer, Whitley Strieber, describes in detail the Maxwell Air Force Base Incident, only presented in supposed fictional form. Strieber gained notoriety over his “Communion “series novels which detailed alien abductions that paralleled historic events. In the Maxwell Air Base encounter a fiery UFO approaches the base’s forbidden air space at a high rate of speed as four F-51’s are scrambled to intercept. In minutes the squadron is airborne and poised to face the unknown. Yet, shortly afterward 3 of the 4 Mustang Fighters are forced to drop out of the intercept as each one experiences manifold overheating, another pilot reports his electric panel is malfunctioning, and the third pilot experiences failure. That leaves one brave aviator who determinedly pursues the unknown object only to vanish from the radar screen and from reality as we know it. Much like Lieutenant Felix Moncla did over Lake Superior near Sue Locks in 1953 when his all-weather F-89 Scorpion fighter jet merged with an unknown radar target never to return. He and his backseat officer 2nd Lieutenant R. Wilson became a vague anecdote on the pages of alternate history.
Inescabable mindset
Not all air to air engagements lead to disappearances or deaths, but the classic dilemma encountered between the military aviator, his duty, the policy of his government, and the question of secrecy all merge in the uncanny realm of UFO saga. In this unsettling background anything can happen and frequently does. The best that the pilot subjected to this circumstance can hope for is to come back home in one piece, and if he mentions his bewildering encounter with the unknown he is likely to be blamed, marginalized, or even disciplined for simply reporting what he saw. This scenario has persisted for more than 50 years now as these brave aviators tasked with defending their countries can at any time run afoul of reality as we know it and take an ominous path through a questionable dimension of perception and forbidden knowledge that officially does not exist.
The enduring question
Today our defense contractors have achieved ever greater potential for the manned interceptor with such air superiority fighters as the F-15 Strike Eagle, the F-18 Hornet, and the F-22 Raptor, yet are we any closer to gauging the true nature of the UFO, its purpose, or even origin? Those questions remain to be answered and the fate of each and every pilot who climbs into the cockpit of those mutli-million dollar machines is still uncertain when in the mysterious realm of the UFO.

Workers at the Collahuasi Mine in the northern region of Tarapacá saw and photographed a silver disk that remained visible for some 2 hours at an altitude of 600 meters.phto.
SANTIAGO DE CHILE (EFE) – Scientists from the Centro de Estudios de Fenomenos Aéreos Anómalos (CEFAA), a branch of the General Office of Civil Aeronautics, concluded that a sighting from April 2013 corresponds to an unidentified flying object (UFO) whose image was disseminated on Tuesday.
After a year of analyses by high-level experts “who are generally very skeptical”, the conclusion was reached that the April 2013 object in Northen Chile was “an unidentified flying object (UFO), as it does not match anything known,” in the words of Ricardo Bermudez, CEFAA's director, in a statement to EFE.
The director of CEFAA, a one-of-a-kind agency in the world, rejected that the image had been “declassified” because “we do not keep secrets”.
In this subject, “no one owns the truth” and for this reason “we choose to share the information we have rather than conceal it,” said Bermudez, adding that Chile “is the only country in which there is total transparency” regarding the subject of UFOS.
We work openly with those who have seen flying objects, and they are generally airplane pilots or radar operators, but also with average people who tend to videotape them or photograph them. We also deal with astronomers, chemists, universities, the Armed Forces and the Police in analyzing eyewitness accounts and images, which most times turn out to be birds, balloons, probes or other commonplace objects,” he specified.
This case involved a group of 35 workers and experts from the Collahuasi mine, located 4300 meters above sea level in the northern region of Tarapacá. In mid-April 2013, they saw and photographed a silver disk that remained visible for some two hours at an altitude of some 600 meters in completely clear, cloudless skies. “It was a silvery disk, measuring some 10 meters in diameter, engaging in vertical and horizontal movements that no airplane can make, but which appeared to follow a pre-determined flight plan,” explained Bermudez.
The object went on to form part of the 3% of sightings recorded in Chile since 1998 which are officially recognized as UFOs.

Abductions by alien beings has been known since the early sixties. The famous Hill case is now considered a classic case. Betty and Barney Hill encountered a landed UFO on a secluded highway in 1961 in Canada. If we want to believe their report, they claim to have been forced – under mental control – into the landed object. In separate rooms, they were subjected to physiological tests. Betty was also was shown a star map and was asked by one of the UFO occupants if she recognized where she was on the map. Betty said she did not know.
Later, Betty and Barney were returned to their car. It is believed that the aliens made them forget most their experience by the use of a post hypnotic suggestion or command. Only when the Hills arrived home, did they notice they were three hours late.
Barney began to have nightmares and after some time, he developed a gastric ulcer. Betty and Barney went to a doctor, but he referred them to a psychiatrist named Dr. Benjamin Simon. Dr. Simon used regressive hypnosis on Betty and Barney Hill (during separate visits) and took them back to the events that transpired that night they saw the UFO.
Current Reports
Today we know that most abductions occur where one expects them the least. They begin where we feel secure: at home. The aliens penetrate the bedrooms of the abductees, in most cases appearing as small gray beings with huge heads and big black eyes. It is mostly the memory of the aliens' entering into the abductee's home that remains preserved in the conscious memory of the abductee.
The beings bring the abductee, using an unknown technology, into strange rooms. They subject them to medical tests, physical experiments, and psychological tests. Then they return the abductee in the same unknown manner. The abducted person awakens in the morning and can remember very little about the events from the night before. [Although there are a few people who remember a lot of details.] However, for the most part, the abductee will only detect an unusual injury, a wound or scars that were not yet there the night before.
It has also become clear that abductions are not single events. They usually begin in early childhood and occur episodically again and again throughout the individual's life.
Conventional Explanations Inadequate
There are numerous conventional explanations that have attempted to explain abduction experiences. However, these approaches are not able to explain all of the different aspects of the abduction process. Sometimes the people behind these conventional explanations manipulate the events in order to make the explanation fit with the experience.
Hypotheses for the Abduction Process
Let's have a look at some of the hypotheses that have been proposed to explain the abduction process: Do people who claim to have been abducted by alien beings suffer from psychoses or schizophrenia? Hallucinations are usually the product of an enduring schizophrenic illness. These people are completely withdrawn and are incapable of participating in life or in social events. However, illnesses such as these have never been found to account for an “abduction” experience.
It has also been proposed that UFO abductees suffer from the phenomenon of Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD. Actually, we know today that a person's consciousness can split into several different personalities. This has occurred, for example, in children or people who have been sexually abused. In these instances, a partial or second personality takes over for the time needed and the main personality resigns and then feels a loss of time later. Importantly, all tests carried out up to the present show that abductees do not suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder. In addition, there are numerous cases in which the abducted person actually disappeared during an abduction experience. And of course, this does not occur with multiple personality disorder.
Another hypothesis is that abductees suffer from Paranoia. Paranoid individuals are passive, unsure, evasive people. They are not able to accept their own feelings and they transmit them to others. They feel persecuted by these “other” people; they feel they are under attack and are at the center of a worldwide conspiracy. Paranoia or paranoid episodes develop over a period of years, so there is a traceable history for their illness.
UFO abductees suffer from their share of fears, but they do not show the internal dynamics that you find in paranoid patients. For example, their fear wasn't there before the abduction occurred – it came on suddenly and without any overt stimulus. In clinical psychology it is without precedent for a worldwide Paranoia to be directly linked to the same cause.
Perhaps it is a mass hysteria? Hardly. A mass hysteria can only result from very specific conditions. It is possible in cases of very narrow contact of the participants or in communities that are isolated from the outside world. It has never before been observed with individuals who have no contact with each other and live hundreds of miles away from one another.
Today, it is very popular among skeptics to assume that abductions and the bedroom visitor observations are simply hallucinations during sleep paralysis. Actually, sleep paralysis is a normal physiological phenomenon. During REM (Rapid Eye Movement or during the dream phase) the central nervous system paralyzes the body. Only the pupils can move under the closed eyelids. This paralysis can sometimes last into the first moments of wakefulness: The spirit [mind - consciousness] is already “awake,” but the body is still in the state of sleep.
Many abductees report a similar type of paralysis. They awake from sleep to find that their body is paralyzed and at best, are only able to move their eyes back and forth. It is during this moment of terrible fear that the strange beings approach them or step onto their bed.
The question automatically arises: Have all of these people really experienced temporary sleep paralysis? Did they awaken from a dream to find that they could not move, and then become terrified? Then later they tell stories of small gray beings standing next to their bed? Is this what really constitutes the heart of the visitor phenomenon?
Certainly not. We simply have too much information that contradicts this assumption. First, the perception of the bedroom visitor itself. His appearance is automatically by no means combined with sleep paralysis. Even more important is the simultaneous perception of these intruders by married couples, siblings, friends and acquaintances; as well as the simultaneous paralysis of several persons. The paralysis and hallucinations of one individual can hardly explain this.
In addition, during an abduction, paralysis also occurs in the waking state, for example, immediately after an abductee goes to bed, or after they have already awakened. And finally, we must take into account, the many abductions that have occurred in broad daylight without the abductee being in their bed.
Important questions we must ask during this discussion are: Are all of these people who are experiencing sleep paralysis having completely identical hallucinations? Can so many people be sick in exactly the same manner? Do all of them suffer from identical hallucinations? Do all of them dream about identical figures which do the same thing to them every time? To accept these beliefs is much more improbable than the simple hypothesis that these people have experienced an alien abduction.
Part Three of this article will continue with specific cases involving abductions in Europe.
After my brother passed away we went thru his stuff, throwing away or donating most things but keeping a few mementos. It is curious what you’ll find going over someone’s belongings. You may even learn a few things you hadn’t known about them.
We came across a photo album my brother possessed which we’d never seen before. It was filled with mostly Polaroid pictures he had taken over the decades. My brother was fond of instant cameras and used those instead of film cameras. Today we have digital so these were all old pictures taken over the decades, the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
Going over his private pictures one photo caught my attention. It was of a wooded area and the sky. A scan of this photo is at the top of my blog. It seems typical except for something in the sky. I was taken aback when I first saw it. What the heck was that? There is a strange shape in the sky. And oddest of all, it had a light emanating from this object. If it weren’t for that glow I’d likely not pay attention to it.
Could it be an airplane? It doesn’t appear like one. Is it a photo of UFO? My brother kept a picture of something strange in his private photo album for a reason. I wish I had seen this photo while he was still alive. I would have asked him about it. How old is the photo? Decades? When and where did he take it? Did he see anything at the time? Did he realize he caught something in the sky on film?
If my deceased brother had a UFO sighting and he photographed it, we’ll never know what happened. He kept a lot to himself as I discovered when we found his private photo album. It’ll just remain a family mystery.
Tibetans retain DNA from a species of human that they ironically helped push to extinction, according to a new study published in the journal Nature.
The gene allows Tibetans to adapt to high altitudes of 15,000 feet or more, researchers found.
“We have very clear evidence that this version of the gene came from Denisovans,” said principal author Rasmus Nielsen, a Berkeley professor of integrative biology, in a press release. Denisovans were a mysterious human relative that went extinct 40,000-50,000 years ago, around the same time as the more well-known Neanderthals, under pressure from modern humans.
“This shows very clearly and directly that humans evolved and adapted to new environments by getting their genes from another species,” Nielsen said.
That’s significant because it means we are all probably mutts, descended from more than one species of human. Homo sapiens didn’t just evolve and somehow lead to all modern humans today. Homo sapiens instead interbred with other species seemingly wherever they met, from Africa to Europe to, in this case, Asia.
What’s new and particularly interesting about this study is that it’s the first time a gene from another species of human has been shown unequivocally to help modern humans adapt to their environment.
The gene variant allows Tibetans to survive low-oxygen levels at high elevations that would cause others to develop thick blood, leading to cardiovascular problems. The gene passed down from Denisovans, called EPAS1, activates when oxygen levels in the blood drop, triggering production of more hemoglobin, which is the red-colored protein responsible for transporting oxygen in blood.
Too much hemoglobin thickens blood, which can result in heart attacks and death. The gene only leads to slight increases of hemoglobin — just enough to counter the oxygen reduction experienced on mountaintops.
“We found part of the EPAS1 gene in Tibetans is almost identical to the gene in Denisovans and very different from all other humans,” Nielsen said. “We can do a statistical analysis to show that this must have come from Denisovans. There is no other way of explaining the data.”
The researchers made this determination after conducting blood tests on Tibetans. Previously, researchers sequenced a Denisovan bone found in a Siberian cave, so Nielsen and his team were able to match the Denisovan gene to the one found in Tibetans’ blood.
Denisovans, in addition to passing the gene to Tibetans, also passed the gene to certain members of the Han Chinese population, according to the scientists. Native people from the islands of Melanesia, who are closely related to Denisovans — at least 5 percent of their DNA is Denisovan — don’t have the gene. Why? Probably because they don’t need it! Natural selection is pretty remarkable, giving us what we need over time.
“There might be many other species from which we also got DNA, but we don’t know because we don’t have the genomes,” Nielsen said. “The only reason we can say that this bit of DNA is Denisovan is because of this lucky accident of sequencing DNA from a little bone found in a cave in Siberia. We found the Denisovan species at the DNA level, but how many other species are out there that we haven’t sequenced?”

I guess I will start at the beginning, when I was about 4, my mom used to tell me that she would see me in bed and talking with ghost she described as a "little boy" and although I don't really remember this I feel it could be relevant to the rest of the post.
Fast forward a couple years to when I was 6. We were living in a different house in a run down part of town, and pretty much as soon as I moved there I began seeing things. It started with a dog, a black lab, I would see him sitting in the doorway to my room rather often, he would disappear whenever I looked away but he was there.
Then I began seeing a woman, she was tall, with dark hair and wore a long white dress, kind of like a wedding dress, she was rather pale and always appeared half in the shadows, she would only ever be at the door to my mothers room.
My last and third experience in this house was this thing I can't really describe. Imagine a bee's stinger, about the size of a human thumb, colored black and yellow stripes. Well that would appear sticking out of my closet door every night. Every. Single. Night. I would tell it to come out, I would scream for my mom, I would tell it I am not scared of it, but it just stayed there halfway up my closet, sitting there, doing who know's what. It was there until just before we moved, it went away one night and I haven't seen it since.
Our next house as a trailer. Experiences were less often here but something new started. Whenever I was in a situation where I was about to be injured badly I would experience it in the third person. I mean like it was a TV show, I would see my body take the blow then suddenly I would be on the ground in immense pain back in my body. This has only happened 3 times I can remember.
In this house I occasionally saw what I would describe as a cliche grim reaper. He would be tall, with a dark robe, holding a large scythe, and he would only appear in the top corner of my room, like he was watching. Waiting.
My last experience in this house I was babysitting my sister. I was sitting in a position that I could see every door in the trailer except the back door. Suddenly a kid about my age fell to the ground with his head and shoulders sticking out of the little room that leads to the back door, he quickly got up and moved back into the room. Now, this door is impossible to open silently and was locked and dead bolted, with a dead bolt that only opens from the inside. When I went to investigate there was no one there. Not a soul in the room. I was terrified.
These experiences have been coming fewer and farer between as I get older, but my little sister who is 7 years younger than me began having them at the same age as my first ones in the house with the dog when we moved to our next house. She described a blue man, who would come into her rooms at night and talk to her, he would sit on her bed and watch her sleep. She was horrified of him. Around this time my sister also had about (not exaggerating) 100ish imaginary pet's, she made "mii's" for a lot of them on our wii, she had pet horses, dogs, cat's goats and a sheep.
One day we had a Pagan friend of ours who is very spiritual come over who did some stuff I am really not sure of what it was and hung up a bunch of "go away evil" type tokens (in an attempt to rid my sister of the blue man), however from the day after on we never heard a single thing about any of those imaginary pets. The blue man still came.
The last ever sort of experience I had, was a couple years ago in that house. I was hit by a car on my way to school and I experienced the entire event from a third person perspective, I saw my back as I rode my bike over the intersection, I saw my body hit the car and bounce off, then I was on the ground, in pain, screaming.
I moved into a different house earlier this year, I often feel I am being watched, but I haven't seen anyone, I haven't seen any animals, the only things that happen are occasional opening and closing of doors and weird sounds, but they are still there. I know they are. They have been following me my entire life and I just don't know what to do, who they are or why they are here.
I need help or insight, why are they following me, who is it I saw, and should I be worried about them? - Reddit.com
A landlord is hoping a new ghost film shot in his Croydon town centre pub will reawaken some old spirits.
Dean Terry, who runs The Ship in High Street has produced a half hour film based on the tales of regulars who say they have seen ghosts lurking in the near 400-year-old boozer.
The amateur film-maker wrote and directed The Lock-In, which stars five actors from The Breakfast Cat Theatre Company.
Mr Terry, 51, said: "I loved stop-motion animation as a child. There wasn't any technology back then so you had to have a lot of knowledge in what you were doing.
"I would just do silly things like make wildlife documentaries in the park with my friends but when I got a bit older my life went in a completely different direction."
That different direction saw Mr Terry spend 20 years touring the world as a professional singer, including a four-month tour supporting The Godfather of Soul James Brown.
After a spell in hotel management Mr Terry became landlord of The Ship in 2005. But it was only in the last few years that the Steven Spielberg fan was tempted to step back behind the camera.
He said: "Over the years I heard all these different stories from regulars about the ghosts they have seen.
"There are a lot of these stories about so you start to think maybe there is something in them."
With support from the pub's owners Marston's Inns, the film was shot over five Sundays.
The plot features a regular telling a similar tale to the ones Mr Terry had heard, leading to stranger events later in the film.
The Lock-In will serve as a prequel to two 90-minute films to form a trilogy, which he is now writing and hopes to start shooting by the end of the year. But does Mr Terry, who bravely lives above the haunted pub, believe in ghosts himself?
"I wouldn't call myself a believer but I certainly wouldn't like to be the one to say, 'no, there's no truth in it'." - Croydon Advertiser
The CIA has revealed sightings of mysterious flying crafts travelling at high speeds with flashing lights were actually test flights of US military aircraft.
Top secret U2 spy planes flying at 18,000 metres created the phenomena and the CIA recently posted on their Twitter account, reports Aftenposten newspaper, saying: "Do you remember the reports of unusual activity in the sky in the 50's? That was us."
U2s flew at higher altitudes, way above most passenger planes and military aircraft. When the sun set below the horizon the U2s were still high enough to reflect its rays, and other pilots saw them as bright, silvery objects in the night sky, the CIA explained.
The official explanation was kept secret to avoid the Soviets learning of US military intentions during the Cold War. - The Local
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.
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.”Read more at Openminds TV
Throughout the documented history of those early pioneering man missions into space, one can find numerous references, made by both astronauts and cosmonauts, to witnessing and sometimes describing curious anomalous objects seen while in orbit around the Earth. John Glenn likened these to fireflies and for a time, NASA actually believed they had stumbled across living creatures, according to many of its’ retired astronauts. From the top down the powers-that-be decided to cover the whole UFO phenomena up.
They believe the people are weak and stupid and unable to handle the truth. In this video the truth is exposed.
Amazing anomalous objects resembling and behaving similar to single cell and simple multi-cellular organisms have been observed and filmed by 10 separate NASA space shuttle missions, over 200 miles above Earth within the thermosphere. These structures appear to be self-illuminated, may be several meters or kilometers in size, and have 4 distinct morphologies: 1) sperm shaped, 2) cloud shaped, 3), “donut” shaped, 4) Cone shaped. Some of these structures travel at different speeds, travel in different directions, and change their speed and direction of movement and angle toward the camera, will turn and interact with one another, and in some instances will turn 180 degrees and follow other structures.
Plasmas can also take cellular shape and engage in anomalous behaviors, and the possibility these may be plasmas is explored. It may be that if these anomalous objects are in fact extraterrestrial forms of life, that they have a physiology and biology completely different from terrestrial life. They may not even be carbon-based, and have no DNA–but consist of electromagnetic plasmas which is why they are attracted to electric storms. If so, this may explain why these structures also self-illuminated and why the sperm-shaped structures become more energetic. Since these entities are associated with electromagnetic activity, and have characteristics and behavior patterns which could be construed as “plasma-like” they may in fact be plasmas. If these are plasmas, this could explain their distinct cellular structures and behavior patterns.
Observational data captured on film by missions STS-75, STS- 80, STS-96 and STS-106, demonstrates these objects congregate by the hundreds above or near sources of electromagnetic activity; i.e. thunder storms, hurricanes, a satellite-tether 12-miles in length which was generating electricity and electro-magnetic force field interactions between the tether, the satellite, and the surrounding space medium (STS-75). Computerized analysis of the flight path trajectories and velocity was performed and tracking plots were calculated for two stable sequences of film footage from the STS-75 satellite imagery with durations of 20 seconds and 53 seconds. It was determined that these objects travel at different velocities and changeable trajectories including arcing trajectories and 45-degree shifts, 90-degree shifts, and 180-degree shifts in trajectory as indicated by the length of the plotted flight path.
Observational and computerized analysis, therefore, indicates these anomalous objects display behaviors and morphologies completely atypical of space junk, meteors, or crystals of ice and which indicate the possibility of life or plasma-like cellular structures thriving in space. Plasma are considered a “fourth state of matter.” If the entities described in this report are plasmas, they could also be considered an alternate form of life, or a form of pre-life which provided the cellular framework for life to begin. The morphology and behavior patterns of many of these objects are suggestive of living organisms.
Extremophiles have been discovered in almost every conceivable environment on Earth including in highly radioactive environments, and it has been demonstrated that spores and microbes can survive within the thermosphere. Therefore, it is possible that some of these structures could be “extraterrestrial extremophiles” or plasma-like alternate life forms which have adapted to living in the thermosphere.
The government office investigating UFOs in Chile has released an analysis of two high quality photos showing what appear be genuine unidentified flying objects above a remote copper mine. The office, known as the CEFAA (Committee for the Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena), is located within the Ministerial Department of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC), the equivalent of our FAA, under the jurisdiction of the Chilean Air Force. It is responsible for the analysis of selected reports of unexplained aerial phenomena in Chilean airspace, most of them from pilots and aviation personnel.
Collahuasi lies in the far northeast of Chile, close to the border with Bolivia.
The photos were taken at the Collahuasi copper mine, more than 14,000 feet above sea level in the Andean plateau in the far north of Chile. An extremely remote location with low oxygen levels and unusually clear skies, the area is desolate and inhospitable. The Collahuasi mine produces copper concentrate, copper cathodes and molybdenum concentrate from three open-pit mineral deposits.
Four technicians – professionals specializing in electricity, electronics, and fluid control – were working there in April, 2013. They witnessed a disc-shaped object which approached slowly and was present for more than an hour, moving around in different positions and hovering at about 2000 feet. One technician took pictures with his Kenox Samsung S860 camera. The strange object made no sound, and eventually moved away towards the East.

The witnesses decided not to tell anybody because of the negative associations they had with UFO sightings, and therefore had every intention of always keeping the sighting private. But some months later, the photographer casually showed the pictures to the chief engineer at the mine, who asked for copies. The engineer sent the images to the CEFAA in February, and provided the agency with information reported to him by the witnesses. He too has requested anonymity.

Chile’s meteorological office at the DGAC confirmed that there was an absolute clear sky at that time, and that there was no possibility of lenticular clouds. All other meteorological phenomena have been ruled out by Chilean officials as a possible explanation.
CEFAA officials told me they determined that there were no drones operating near the mine. “People in that zone know about drones,” said Jose Lay, international affairs director for the CEFAA. “Fishing companies use drones and they make a lot of noise. This was definitely not a drone.” DGAC officials also ruled out any experimental aircraft, planes, weather balloons, or anything else that could explain the incident.
The second photo shows the object in a different position in the sky. (The CEFAA does not know the time sequence between the two images.) Click to Enlarge
With all conventional explanations eliminated, the CEFAA staff determined that the photos were worthy of analysis. The results of this study, conducted by a leading CEFAA analyst at the DGAC Meteorological Office, was released on July 3rd and is posted on the CEFAA website.
The report states that the witnesses described the phenomenon as “a flattened disc, of brilliant color, with a diameter of 5 to 10 meters [16 to 32 feet]. It performed ascending, descending and horizontal movements in short lengths, about 600 meters above the ground.” The witnesses had the impression that the object was under intelligent control.

The text on this diagram (above) of the enlarged image indicates lines where very soft rays were reflected from an “extremely luminous half sphere.” The analyst concludes that the object “emitted its own energy that does not coincide with the natural sunlight which is also reflected off the object.” At noon, the brightness underneath could not have been caused by the sun, which was reflected off the top.
The study concludes that “It is an object or phenomenon of great interest, and it can be qualified as a UFO.”
The South American media has shown great interest in these images. In the US, retired Navy physicist Bruce Maccabee, a well known photo analyst, has this to say: “In the second image there appears to be a very bright hemispherical shape, convex downward… possibly a UFO enveloped in a cloud of vapor.” He notes that additional data is needed to determine more, but that it is clear that the object moved “a considerable distance” between the two photos.
“This is clearly not a normal thing seen in the sky (bird, plane, cloud, etc.),” added Dr. Maccabee in an email. “That makes it either the real thing – UFO – or a hoax, and it doesn’t appear to be a hoax, although the inability to question witnesses does reduce the credibility. Certainly this case is worthy of further study.”
It is indeed unfortunate that the four witnesses have not been willing to speak to the authorities, who could guarantee them anonymity. But even so, these images are important because they were studied by a government agency with access to the pertinent information needed for a proper analysis. That in itself is unusual. I commend the CEFAA for taking on cases such as this. The experts there conducted a serious investigation, and then released the information to the public, with no reservations about acknowledging the possible existence of a UFO, since that is warranted.
Location: Perdido Key, Florida Date: September 28 2008
Time: evening
It was their wedding day, Jim and Linda had just gotten married. They were staing at the same condo in Perdido Key, where they vacation every year. Perdido Key is a barrier island about 16 miles long, no more than a few hundred yards wide in most places and about 16 miles southwest of Pensacola…. Jim was 57 years old and retired from the Marine Corps. He and his wife, Linda, were walking on the beach a few hours after their wedding. There were several other people around but none in close proximity to Jim and Linda. Linda was on Jim’s left side and closest to the water. The couple were just playing around when Jim, facing Linda on his left, noticed a strange, large black cloud over the Gulf of Mexico. He said it was strange because it was a beautiful day. The entire sky was blue and white puffy clouds and the black cloud seemed out of place. Jim said he kept staring at it because it was so black—a different color black he had never seen before. The black cloud started to move in their direction. It sped up, stopped and silently hovered between 125 and 150 feet above and in front of them. Jim said he saw a flash of light that lit up the cloud for about 10 seconds. He could then see a dull gray craft with many windows and a being inside, from about the shoulders up, looking down at them. Jim said he could see the being clearly because the craft was illuminated with white light inside. He described the being a “not huge, about the size of a 14 or 15-year old, kind of skinny and dark, but not black.” He was unable to see the face. When asked about the shape of the craft, he said he thought it looked round but was more focused on the being inside. Jim said after about 10 seconds the cloud turned black again. He said he became very scared and said to Linda, “Let’s get out of here,” so they began to run back to their condo. As they were holding hands running, Linda was asking Jim what was wrong. Linda had not seen the craft or its occupant. Jim said he kept looking back at the black cloud and saw it moving back toward the Gulf. Jim said he looked down for a few seconds to wash the sand off his feet and when he looked back up the black cloud was gone. When asked if the event frightened him Jim replied, “I have to be honest, I was really scared.” It is interesting to note that Perdido Key is located approximately 10 miles west of Gulf Breeze and 40 miles east of Pascagoula, MS; both places well-known for UFO incidents. Back in their condo, Linda asked Jim what the black cloud was that they had seen on the beach. Jim was not aware Linda had seen it. He didn’t point out the black cloud or the craft when they were on the beach because he didn’t want to frighten her. Jim reply’s was, “I think it was a UFO.”
When the UFO began to cause a UFO landing sites and observing the humanoid on the map, then were surprised to find that message in the main do not emanate from the densely populated places where people actively read newspapers and are crammed with science fiction ideas, and from remote areas, where population density is minimal.
They concluded that the aliens are trying to avoid people and do not show aggression. But any rule there are exceptions
November 28, 1954 two drivers from Caracas (Venezuela), barely reached the police station. The body of one of them was covered with lacerations, from which flowed the blood …
Jose Pons was an assistant driver, Gustavo Gonzalez. They drove a truck for food, which should bring in the capital before the market opens. It was about two o’clock in the morning, the truck was driving on the outskirts of Caracas, when the driver saw that the road was partitioned with a luminous object. It was a metal ball with a diameter of 3-4 meters, still hanging half a meter above the ground. In the world there were two openings on the sides and a dome at the top.
Gonzalez stopped the car and the men with amazement staring at a UFO. Not saying a word, they got out and walked nearer. Located about eight meters from the apparatus, Gustavo and Jose saw them go dwarf, covered with black hair. His four fingers ended long claws, sharp as a knife. His head was round, or perhaps a round hat, without ears, nose, mouth, and the men looked great oval shining or reflecting car headlights eyes. A dwarf wore a strange loincloth, he was barefoot.
Gonzalez grabbed the dwarf and raised above the ground, but he wriggled out of the hands and pushed the driver. Gonzales fell back. Pons wanted to intervene, but it suddenly seemed paralyzed.
Before Gonzales was able to rise to his feet, dwarf jumped up and moved on the enemy. His eyes sparkled in the headlights of the truck. Gonzalez got on one knee and pulled out a knife. He tried to hit the dwarf on the shoulder, but the blade slipped, like a metal. From the ship jumped another hairy dwarf and sent to Gonzales glowing. A bright ray of blinding a driver for a moment, he thought it was the end, but when his sight, he saw a UFO that rises above the trees and quickly disappears into the night sky.
Pons saw it all. He said he had noticed that the second exists: it has come to the right of the road, and carried in the hands of tight things like stones or clods of earth, saw Pons, it jumped into the ship through a hatch in the side and got in a few seconds with the third being that is flying something like a long metal pipes glowing. Dwarf sent the receiver to Gonzales, and from there flew a ray of light. Being returned to the ship, flown away at high speed.
Gonzalez Pons and rushed into the car and rushed to the police station. Police initially thought the man drunk or crazy. They called a doctor who determined that both of them are in a state of shock and none of them were drunk. Gonzalez treated wounds did sedative injection.
Witness the bout was a famous doctor in Caracas, which was summoned at night to the patient. He drove the car Gonzales, saw a UFO, blocked the road, as well as fight. When the doctors assured that his name not be made public, he made a formal statement to the police.
But Maria Soria, too, was at the time of the events described on the highway, heard a whistling sound. A bright light fell from the sky on the car of Mary, and it immediately stalled the engine …
December 10 Jesus Gomez and Lorenzo Flores hunted rabbits near the Trans-Andean highway. Hunting has ended, they spent all their ammunition and were now returning home. Wearily dragging his feet along the highway, the men saw a shining object in the roadside bushes. Later, they told the police that took him for a car off the road, and went to see what was happening.
It was the object of three meters in diameter, resembling two huge gleaming pelvis, put together the edges to each other. It hung over the earth, and from its bottom fire erupted.
- We saw four little men around the meter growth, emerged from a UFO, “said Lorenzo. – Noticing us, the four ran to Hyo-Susu, grabbed him and dragged him to the object. Then I took the uncharged rifle by the barrel and hit one of the fellows. In an instant, I felt pain in his hands, a gun shattered into two parts. It was too dark to examine their faces, but we have noticed an abundance of hair on their bodies and noted the great power of fellows.
Being released Gomez, but he could not recover, was as if stunned by something. Flores, dragged him to the road and when he could go, both ran into the nearest police station. The police noted chtorubashka Gomez torn to shreds, the two men greatly scratched and scared.
When the next morning, police inspected the place of battle, there were only signs of a struggle and a broken gun Fdaresa. Except scorched bushes, no traces of small creatures and their ship was gone.
Less than a week as “hairy dwarfs” snovapoyavilis in Venezuela. On December 16, three young men ate dinner in the restaurant of San Carlos and went home. When we passed the park, Jesus Paz suddenly felt sick and asked to install a car and plunged into the nearest bushes. Soon the young people heard a cry for help. They ran to a friend and saw him, dazed and bleeding. From Jesus to the disk-shaped craft standing nearby on the grass, ran a hairy dwarf. Luis Mejía, who served in the National Guard, seized a stone and threw it into a UFO. The unit started up with a strong humming sound and flew away.
Jesus in a state of shock, were taken to the hospital. On his back and right side of the gaping long deep scratches, similar to the marks of claws. Recovering, Paz said that he had gone around the flower beds, his steps were heard in the thick grass. Suddenly, he almost tripped over a hairy creature, which regarded the flowers. Jesus wanted to escape, but as soon as he turned, the creature pounced on him – at first scratched his back, tearing his shirt, then hard on the head.
The following year, dwarfs showed up in America. There, they were not allowed to show aggression: earthlings opened fire first. They say that in Kelly, Kentucky, just like to be portrayed: they shoot first and then ask who it was. August 21, 1955 Bill Taylor came to the farm to the family of Sutton and said he saw a round glowing UFO, which disappeared behind the barn. His story was greeted with laughter and jokes, but an hour later, the owners of the farm, their faithful and family (of ten) was not up to joy. Around eight o’clock at night the dogs barking furiously. The owner and his son came to the door and saw her being the growth of about one meter. The head dwarf seemed too large in relation to the body, hands – an unusually long, clawed fingers between – membranes.
Elmer and John Sutton both shot in the queer creature, when it came closer. Bullets from rifles 12 th and 22-caliber hit a creature with such a noise as if caught in an empty bucket. Impact force threw the stranger ago, but he almost immediately jumped up and ran away before the farmers could do something else.
Sutton rushed into the house. All the doors were immediately closed, the light extinguished. At this moment, the farm owner screamed: clung to the window, dining creature with enormous eyes. The men fired several times through the glass and knocked him to the ground by a direct hit. Bill Taylor came out to see what came of it, and then the roof extends taloned paw and grabbed the poor guy’s hair! Farmers began firing on the merits of sitting on the roof, and then – on the second hiding in a tree crown in the yard. After the direct hit of the dwarf fell from a tree and glided to the ground and fled into the bushes.
After forays into the yard the men returned to the house and stood at the windows, firing at anything that moves. Women and children lay on the floor. Finally, the farmers decided that the substance had already gone. All ten of the inhabitants of the farm, and Bill Taylor slipped out of the house and nabivshis in two cars, sped to the police.
Russell Grinvell, the police chief in the nearby city of Hope kinsvill, coming soon to a farm, recalls:
- Certainly, they were horrified … We did not find a farm near the tracks, but the ground was so hard and dry that it proves nothing. I do not know what they saw, but clearly something strange, just shot at him right through the doors, windows, shooting around the house.
Soon after the police left, the 2.15 nights being returned. They stare at the windows, and the men answered them with fire. This pandemonium lasted until dawn. In the morning the police again came to the farm, but none was found.
However, the most incredible story involving a dwarf has occurred in Bolivia in early 1968, Lady Valentina Flores of Otoko, a small village in the south-west of the country at six o’clock in the evening went to drive their sheep and llamas. Sheep grazed nearby, and llama – a mile from her home. Valentine has already driven the sheep, and returned with llamas, when I noticed that the sheep pen is covered with some strange network. Under the network were current growth being about a meter and killing sheep instrument in the form of a tube with a hook on the end. On his back was something like a backpack. Flores began to throw stones at him. Being approached standing at the fence a small device, which resembled the radio, and turned the wheel, located at the top. The network immediately sucked into the device. A woman armed with a baton and went to the paddock, intending to defend their possessions. However, the dwarf threw in her pipe, which killed the sheep, not hit, and the tube, after describing a loop, and returned to his hand like a boomerang. He also reiterated a throw. A strange weapon several times touched the hands of seniors Flores, having cut them, but none of the cuts was not serious.
By forcing a woman to stay away from him, “evil dwarf” quickly put the device in which absorbed into the network, in a bag, similar to plastic, and threw back the same innards slaughtered sheep. From “backpack” moved the tube and hit the ground. Creature began to rise into the air and soon disappeared in the sky.
The police arrived on the scene and found 34 dead sheep, some of the viscera was removed. According to policemen, Senora Flores spoke the truth. The officers pulled the dwarf from the words of the victim, and these sketches were published in a local newspaper.

Time: 00:20 a.m.
43-year old Zinaida Gavrilova was late to her regular bus route that took her to the local military garrison where she was a resident. When she exited the monorail she realized that the last bus had departed 30 minutes before. So she decided to walk home alone on a straight narrow road that ran through a pine forest. At night this road was lighted by lanterns, set in 2 rows on both sides of the road. At about 00:20 a.m. she approached a 16meter long concrete bridge which was stretched over a small river in the forest. The bridge was also lighted by lanterns. Suddenly she saw a strange column of smoke and when she walked closer to it the column darkened, became dense and transformed into a humanoid figure. The figure was that of a very tall woman in a black dress down to her ankles. Her height was more than 2.5meters; she had a protruding forehead, huge slanted eyes, and blue in color lacking eyebrows or eyelashes. The color of her eyes was of a pure blue, shiny, like mother of pearl. Her face was pale, triangular in shape and sharply narrowed at the bottom, ending in a small pointy chin. Zinaida could not remember the nose or lips. On her head she wore a black oval-shaped helmet, and a black pelerine (cape) fell from her helmet to her shoulders and back from. She had very long arms. On her chest area the alien woman had a circle of light, resembling a flat bulb; the light emitted from this light did not illuminate its surroundings. The alien woman began to speak in a strange feminine but “squeaky” voice. She asked Zinaida, “Where are you going?” Zinaida answered, naming the small military garrison where she lived. Then the alien woman said, “Come with me. Come with me. Come with me”. Zinaida distinctly heard the phrase repeated 3 times. The woman turned her back and began walking away, Zinaida following her. At this point Zinaida blacked out and later returned to her senses sitting on a bench near the control box to the military garrison. She felt light headed, and her temples ached. Very slowly Zinaida rose and walked to the control post. Surprised to find the control post empty (it was supposed to be manned 24 hours daily) she walked past it and into her 5 story apartment complex belonging to the officer’s staff. There her son waited for her and asked where have she been, both her son and her husband were getting ready to mount a search for her. Zinaida then looked at her watch and realized that it was already 0130A. Apparently 60 minutes had slipped away from her memory. Zinaida then looked into the mirror of her anteroom and was again surprised to find her hair neatly tied up in a soft bun behind her head; she could not remember who had done that. She briefly recalled the moment when she first saw the column of smoke and then the alien woman and lastly when the woman asked her to come with her. She became hysterical and screamed in horror. The next day Gavrilova was in a catatonic state, she would fall asleep and then wake up minutes later. In the evening she telephone a female friend and told her, “I met a witch!” Happily this female friend was connected with Erast Demishev who was an old friend of the main investigator: Alexey Priyma. This last one arranged a hypnotic regression session in order to reconstruct the events of that night. Zinaida agreed to the session and asked for it to be done immediately. It appeared, according to the results gleaned from the session that immediately after the alien woman had asked Zinaida to “come with me” Zinaida found herself inside the military stadium which was part of the military garrison. The distance from the stadium to the stone bridge was only about 1km. The football field was lit up by a bright white light. Gavrilova could not explained where had the alien woman gone to, instead she could see a huge silver-colored globe or sphere, about 6-7 meters in diameter, slightly tapered on the bottom. From a hatch on the globe a ladder reached the ground. The ladder was angular consisting of links, zigzagged in shape. Near the globe the witness saw two very tall “men” in light gray tight-fitting overalls. The height of each entity was more than 2.5meters. One of them approached Zinaida, took her by the hand and led her to the globe. His touch was icy. Inside the globe the witness saw numerous round and rectangular shaped lights on the walls. When some of the entities touched Zinaida she felt a piercing cold, not painful, but very cold. Besides the tall humanoids, Zinaida saw a small humanoid sitting on an armchair inside the cabin. This other creature had a small body, thin legs and arms, and a large round head. Its eyes were shiny “mother of pearl” color. It did not move while it sat on the armchair. The two very tall humanoid males had broad shoulders, long arms and legs, and slanted eyes. At the humanoids touched Zinaida on numerous occasions but then they began to tell her, “You should come with us”. They didn’t say anything else. Moments later one of the tall humanoids began to twirl Zinaida’s hair into a tight bun on her back. He then sat her on a tall armchair. At this point Zinaida suffered a blackout. Her next memory was of a tall alien man in the light gray coveralls taking her by her hand, like a child, and leading her outside of the sphere through the opened hatch. At this moment she saw “another world” before her: the sky there was slightly greenish. Later after analyzing her memoirs, obtained during the regression, Gavrilova concluded that she had visited an “artificial planet”, or an artificially created world encased in a huge glassy “sky dome”. Zinaida then saw a long street, on which the globe had landed. At the far end of the street she saw another sphere—of a much larger size than the sphere which had delivered her to this world. The houses that stood along the street were white, low and long. On top of the roofs and in between the houses the witness saw white rods, a very large number of rods, different in size, some very high others short. The rods which were between the houses were taller than the ones on top of the houses, most of the rods were straight but a few were curved or spirals, everywhere there was white wet sand. At first Zinaida thought that she was walking alone in the street, but to be more exact, not “walking” in the literal meaning of the world, but floating. But soon she realized that one of the tall male aliens was holding her hand, and he was the one that was walking. The alien man emanated an icy “wave”. He was dressed in gray slippery clothing. Like the tricot of the circus artists—tight fitting. She could not remember his nose and lips. But his eyes were large, with deep eye sockets. He had no eyebrows or eyelashes and his eyes were light “mother of pearl” color. No one else was in the street with them. The alien man slowly walked on the deserted street from one sphere to the other and took Zinaida into the second sphere. While walking he spoke telepathically to Zinaida asking her, “Would you like to say here? You will feel good. You can live here”. But she didn’t agree and said, “I don’t want to live here. I have a family. I can’t leave my husband and son forever. Take me back to the stadium!” The alien man answered, “Ok, we will take you back. But you must stay for a short time in this city. Somebody you are familiar with wants to see you”. Zinaida then asked, “What is the name of this city?” The humanoid answered, “Kuili” They didn’t speak anymore after this. Inside the other sphere Gavrilova saw several long tables. In between the tables there were armchairs. A very bright light emanated from everywhere in the object. The walls were smooth and bare. Several tall alien women in tight fitting light gray suits were moving around the room. The humanoid then carefully placed Zinaida on the floor. Zinaida then seemed to “freeze” in place unable to move, a sickening, nauseating feeling of complete paralysis seized her entire body. Then one of the alien females, without moving her lips, attempted to convince Zinaida to stay in the city of “Kuili” forever. “You will feel very good in Kuili”, she persisted. Translating her thoughts directly into Zinaida’s brain she said, “Why do you want to return. Why that stupid desire? Stay with us!” But Gavrilova categorically refused to cooperate. Then two of the females grabbed her like “a log” and placed her on one of the shiny white tables. On the place where Zinaida had a scar on her chest area, the aliens pressed a small rectangular shaped plate. A large blue screen then appeared near the table after emerging from somewhere below. On the screen a lighted pulsating dot immediately became visible. Then the alien female took her body from the table. The tall alien man again grabbed her by her hands and took her out of the sphere. While leaving, the alien woman who had been trying to convince Zinaida to stay in Kuili forever said, “If you like we will again come and get you and take you ourselves”. “I agree to visit Kuili one more time, —said Zinaida. —But you again would have to return me back to the stadium”. “The next time you would not want to return to Earth. We will meet again for sure!” said the alien woman. The aliens then took Zinaida back into the sphere and apparently returned to Earth. Researcher Alexey Priyma, together with Zinaida and his colleagues Erast Demishev and Vitaliy Shishenko visited the place of the UFO landing and examined it. They used instruments to study the alleged place of contact. Indeed, a magnetic detector detected an anomalous strip there, where according to the witness the alien woman in black was standing. It was about 5 meters in length, staring about a meter from the stone bridge. At the stadium the researchers found the evident place of the UFO landing. It was a clearly defined round trace on the grass that was 7metes 18cm in diameter.
