Grace never expected to see a UFO, the size of an aircraft carrier
Grace was working at a TV commercial film shoot in upstate New York. The various crews had just wrapped the shooting for the day. In Grace’s van there were ten members of the crew; everyone was anxious to return to their hotel in Middletown, NY.
While driving on NY State Route 12, most of the crew members on the left side of the van nearly in unison remarked, “What is that?”
In the sky was a reddish-orange object and it continued to get closer and closer to their van. At first none of the folks could really make out what it was they were looking at.
Graces says, “We all agreed it was not a plane or anything else we had ever seen.”
The only thing everyone in the van certainly agreed on was that the object was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting increasingly darker outside as the sun was setting.
“Some of the folks in the van were on the verge of freaking out,” Grace explained.
The road began to be curvy and led into a forested area where they lost sight of the object. As their van came around a small turn in the road, there was one of the other crew vans stopped. All of its crew members were out of their truck standing in the middle of the road looking up in a dazed manner. The driver of the van slammed on the brakes. After the vehicle, stopped the engine died, and everybody got out.
“Above us was this unbelievably enormous ship, silent hovering just above the tree line,” Grace said with a tone of wonder in her voice.
Grace clarified what it looked like very specifically, “it was a dark metal, it was larger than an aircraft carrier, when we saw it at tree height. The circumference had baseball diamond shaped colored lights that changed color, but not in a pattern, they just changed colors, pink orange, blue, and yellow.”
The group of film artists and technicians stood huddled together gazing up in awe for about 5 minutes.
“…and then in a second, it pulled away, without a sound and it did so, incredibly fast.” Grace explained.
After the craft disappeared, the van the other crew had been driving in started up. One of the crew electricians told us their truck had stopped when the craft had gotten close to the tree line.
Later at the hotel the two van loads of crew shared their encounter story with the rest of the shoot team.
“They just thought we were all nuts.” Grace moaned.
Interestingly enough the local newspaper reported that a large crowd in the parking lot of the local supermarket had also seen the UFO. Grace says, “I still talk occasionally to a few of my fellow witnesses and we are still all freaked out, because it was so unmistakably huge, so close and so real.”
After a moment to reflect, Grace remarked about the long term impact of that night 26 years ago. “… It has left a huge mark on my life, and on how I see our place in the universe. I think of it in a very good way. It really forces you into a bigger perspective!”
Contrary to the thoughts of most historians and egyptologists, mounting evidence from engineers, geologists and other scientific minds are revealing the concept that the Sphinx, Great Pyramid and other famous Egyptian works were created 12,000 plus years ago, and that the Dynastic Pharaohs simply inherited them.
Myself and my wife had decided to go and clean the fields for sweet potatoes,and upon loading the car and heading back home which was about a mile from home, right in the clear blue sky on the right appeared this huge craft in the sky, dark brown in color with windows going all around it, there was one woman standing in front of one of the windows as it hovered about a good two hundred feet above the trees, as we were riding in our car, I asked my wife do you see that and she said yes, it was so huge and magnificent, I never seen anything on this planet like it before as it hovered over the trees not making a sound and no wind was stirring at all from this huge craft, the tops of the trees didn’t move at all, as I sped up to get a better view of the huge craft, I had some trees that blocked our view for maybe 5 seconds as we was clearing the trees with great anticipation to get a better view the huge craft had vanished without a trace.
We are a christian family with strong christian values, and when I tell my story of what we saw people really don’t believe but I know what I saw and my wife know what she saw, and she doesn’t like to talk about it and seems like she’s a little different since it happened but we know what we saw. I’ve been searching the web to try and see something that looks similar.I feel that more time had passed than what we could remember but I’m not sure, it didn’t dawn on me to look at my watch for the time we were so in awe, but at times I feel more had taken place than what I can remember.
After we had encountered it, I just remembered being tired,and going to bed early that night. We told some family about it but not much was said or done since. In school I used to be a fairly good artist but now I just can’t seem to even draw what we saw on paper. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
I receive this report last evening (7/11/2014) for a UFO sighting over Bethel Park, PA:
Lon,
My boss and friend, a very credible business man, called me tonight around 10pm. He had just left the shop and was leaving the industrial park approaching a red light when he notices what he said looked like a ball of fire.
Before I continue with his description, I would first like to say that he is a very reserved, logical and practical man. He is very familiar with aircrafts and aviation through his hobbies. He has little to no time for interest in things outside of normal reality like this. And thus, when he called me, was hesitant to describe this until I think I broke the ice with the word “UFO” and then I heard that comfort in his voice as if it was assuring him I would not think him crazy for what he was about to tell me.
So he’s approaching the red light when he notices this fireball in the sky. At first he thought it was a star by initial glance but immediately realized it was moving at an incredible rate when it then slowed down very quickly to a point of “almost” hovering (I believe he really wanted to say it stopped and hovered but wanted to hold some level of reservation even in his awe). This is when he noticed that it had what he called a “sparkler effect” almost as if the same look as sparklers you see people waving on the 4th of July and such, coming from what he assumed was the back end based on its direction.
He had with him a good digital camera and snapped this photo. The bright light on the left is a street light – the small cigar shaped orange object in the center is the UFO. He says he pulled over and got the camera rather quickly, however, he is not very familiar with the hardware and originally intended on taking video footage, but in haste and fear of losing a shot entirely, took this photo as is without zooming or anything.
So he pulled the car over and took this photo. He says he believes in the time that he grabbed the camera it began moving in a new direction again and thinks it looks cylindrical like that because it was in motion. Right after taking the photo, he looked down at the camera to make sure a picture had actually taken and when he looked back up a second later it was gone. He doesn’t know if it disappeared or flew away, but it happened so fast that that aspect alone amazed him as much as the sighting in the first place.
Judging by the picture, its saturation level is very bizarre – and it almost looks more like an illuminated object with a hard surface of little reflectivity rather than a light object or a highly reflective surface. He described it as spherical and a light source like fire. Very odd in comparison to the photo. Could this be a morphing ufo? I would assume that the streaking of an object in motion would have a faded tail, but I can’t tell which direction it’s going or if it even is moving.
It’s a perplexing photo to me really, and I’m sure it’s 100% legit. Just taking a photo and getting it to me in an email is the extent of his technological capabilities concerning tampering with a photo, not to mention his trustworthiness.
Normally I’d say I have no fear or shame in attaching my name to this kind of stuff, but I don’t want my bosses reputation to be at any risk. If you have any questions send me an email and if there is a high interest I could see if he would be willing to share more under anonymity.
Thank you, Anonymous
NOTE: The object seems to be somewhat ‘fluid’ in structure, though that’s difficult to judge because of the distance. It’s very similar to other bio-form UFOs I have seen in the past…which have become more prevalent worldwide in recent years. What is your assessment? Lon
Some call it dowsing, water witching or divining. Others call it flaky.
Whatever it’s called, the ancient method of discovering water underground is finding new life in drought-ridden states such as California.
“I’ve found at least eight wells for our vineyard, and hundreds of wells for farmers and homes,” said Marc Mondavi, who not only helps run the family-owned Charles Krug Winery in California’s Napa Valley, but is also a dowser for hire.
The 59-year-old Mondavi said he’s been dowsing for 40 years, but the extreme drought in the Golden State is generating at least 50 percent of his customer base these days.
California is now in its third year of severe drought. Mondavi claims that the state hasn’t developed any new water sources since the 1960s, so the calls for dowsing are only increasing.
Dowsing is the technique of searching for underground water, or even minerals or oil, by observing the motion of a pointer. The pointer can be a forked stick, or bent wires or brass rods. They are often referred to as divining rods.
Dowsers walk over a parcel of land and let the rods guide them to a spot or spots where water lies underground.
Not all dowsers use rods.There’s no official certification for the process, and while it can be taught, anyone can call themselves a dowser. And they don’t actually drill for the water.
The practice goes back at least 5,000 years, say experts. There’s even a group dedicated to promoting and teaching the practice, called the American Society of Dowsers.
What makes a good dowser is listening to what nature is telling you, said 68-year-old Gregory Storozack of Edgewater, Colorado, who’s been dowsing for 32 years.
“For me, it’s knowing that when you are over a target, it’s just there,” said the retired municipal recreation worker.
Bill Getz of Schoharie, New York, said he’s found more than 1,000 water wells, locating his first at the age of 13.
“I use an apple or willow Y branch,” said the 71-year-old, who’s retired from his job at the New York state education department. “I look for where water accumulates.”
The cost of dowsing can vary. Some dowsers offer their services for free and just want their expenses covered. Others ask only for donations. Mondavi said he charges $500 per site visit.
Dowsers don’t offer guarantees of finding water, but most stand by their work.
“I missed on a well once, and that was a long time ago,” Mondavi said.
However, skeptics of the method, who often include professional water drillers, say there’s little scientific basis behind dowsing.
The United States Geological Society said in a report about dowsing that what accounts for “successful” water dowsing is that in “many areas underground water is so prevalent close to the land surface that it would be hard to drill a well and not find water.”
“I thought it was the biggest bunch of bull I ever heard in my life,” said Greg Storozack, who explained that it was his cousin who turned him on to the practice in an effort to find water for the family years ago. “I tried it, and I pictured an underground stream in my mind, and I started walking and the rods opened up. We found water.”
As for the drought that’s roasting much of the Southwest, Storozack said he’s working on getting dowsers from across the country to offer their services to towns and ranches in the hardest hit areas.
He would ask only that their expenses be covered.
Bill Getz, who said he’s not against the idea, would prefer to see dowsers get paid for their services. Getz charges around $300 plus travel time.
“It makes it more legitimate in people’s minds if our services are compensated,” he argued.
Krug Winery’s Mondavi said the agricultural community has always believed in dowsing — but more so now in what seems to be a never-ending drought.
“Most farmers won’t drill a well unless a dowser has been there,” he said. – NBC News
Some background, so I’ve been living in this apartment for about a year now and to be honest I’m happy to be out of my childhood home for the reason I always felt on edge in my bed there.
So it all started with a case of sleep paralysis something I haven’t had since I was a kid. I awoke one night in my bedroom and it appeared the sun was shining through a slit in my blinds so I tried to move and have a look at the weather when I found myself unable to move I could look around but when I did my vision started to close from the sides like a narrowing corridor, until there was just a spec of light then I was awake and it was dark outside, I was slightly confused but passed it off and fell back asleep.
Now fast forward about a month, I went to sleep about 4am like another night but this time I woke up outside my room panting with my palms and back flat against the wall looking down the hallway into the kitchen and through the window where I could see it raining. I didn’t want to move but I could, my room door was closed and I was anxious about opening it so I stayed in that position for about 2 minutes trying to figure it out in my head. I don’t remember leaving my room I’ve never sleep walked until this point.
A week later I woke up around 5am and had the urge to leave my room I was semi awake and aware of my intentions to leave my room. (The best way to describe it is if you wanted to take a piss you kinda shamble to the bathroom and get it done) But this time I walked into my living room where I was looking through my window (I’m on the third floor and my window has a clear view of the horizon) when my sight caught this star I couldn’t help but stare, until it kinda just dropped for a second then moved off like a shooting star. At this point I had no clue if I was still dreaming or not so I stood there transfixed on the point where the star was. I was fully conscious.
Now onto last night, I had a vivid dream of being in my apartment it was completely empty like a void, I was alone but I had the feeling I wasn’t welcome. There is more to the dream but I don’t know how relevant it is. But when I got up my face felt like it was burning and when I went to the bathroom I found intersecting scratches on my face. I could of done it in my sleep but never had done so before. – Reddit.com
Ed Sanchez remembers the night in 1998 when he walked through desolate Maryland woods at about 3 a.m. with The Blair Witch Project co-director Dan Myrick. Sanchez, a first-time filmmaker, says he had an epiphany.
“We were carrying flashlights, batteries and food to the actors” of the $60,000 movie, Sanchez recalls. “I told Dan, ‘This is either going to be a great movie, or we’re going to be the joke of the year.’”
The joke, it turns out, was on the movie’s skeptics. Hollywood’s first “found footage” flick, which turns 15 years old Wednesday, launched a sub-genre in Hollywood horror.
Sanchez, 44, who is directing episodes of the upcoming BBC paranormal series Intruders, says he and Myrick knew their fictional story of three missing student filmmakers, told through grainy footage, was a novel idea, but had no notion it would resonate to the tune of $141 million, the highest-grossing found-footage film of all-time.
Instead, he says, the directors simply wanted to emulate the true pioneer of found footage, Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy hosted In Search of…, the documentary television show dedicated to mysterious phenomena, from 1977 to 1982.
“We loved those,” Sanchez says. “Those grainy pictures of UFOs and Bigfoot? Those were a lot scarier than the movies.” Read more at USA Today

Amazing UFO Sighting in Fayetteville, Arkansas
The following UFO sighting report was submitted to Open Minds on July 11, 2014 – It was forwarded to me by a reader:
8:00 p.m. July 10th 2014 Fayetteville, Arkansas . Daylight. My son Rocky was outside when he observed a strange blackish colored object that seemed to come straight into the atmosphere. At that moment he yelled for me to come outside that he was seeing something strange. As we observed the object it was hovering at this point at or around 1000 ft. The object appeared to be shaped like a stop sign. The object makes a sudden movement north at a speed that was just amazing. It disappeared in just a flash. Standing there in amazement we continued to look in the sky for a few mins. and then the object was then right above us at around 500 ft. It moved to the west slowly and then hovered and then it started to glow this huge round amber light. It was enormous. If I was to hold up a newspaper you could not cover the object from end to end. It glowed like this for approx. 1 to 2 min then began to fade and rotate and as it rotated counterclockwise we could see what looked like a huge square glowing amber orange window on the side of it. It remained still for maybe another min then just disappeared. I have been a flight attendant for 12 years and my son is ex military. I have no idea what we saw.
In the annals of literature it is hard to imagine any one particular writer any more ahead of the curve than was H. G. Wells. His visions of the future of mankind were as fascinating as they were appalling. As mankind was to progress in the decades after H.G. Wells classic science fiction novel “War of the Worlds” we can only recall in sheer amazement how his educated imagination shaped new frontiers for emerging generations across the world. The work of this magnificent mind has fueled much in speculation as well as being used by the powers that be for experimental sociological impact.
Not to be ignored
The darkness and devastation envisioned by the fictional portrayal of a perilous future should even more today be heeded by the public as well as the megalomaniac power brokers who have the arrogance to influence the lives of billions on this planet. Wells was not some unschooled and frivolous story teller such as the likes of Jules Verne, who lacked a realistic scientific aspect to his comical tales of a reality yet to be. H. G. Wells had the aptitude of science to enhance and further render his projections of future conflicts to a much more believable if not alarming level.
Practical application
It took science and, unfortunately the military, decades if not a century to catch up to any unrealistic arrival at the inventions and weapons of the future that were of extraterrestrial origin in “War of the Worlds”. H.G.Wells foresaw the poison gases in 1897 that would be used in the trench warfare of World War I Europe. He foresaw the tactical advantage of mechanized terrain vehicles that could walk and have the advantage of an over the horizon view of their enemies as they quickly covered distances unfettered by wheel driven or horse drawn vehicles. Only today, is the military now perfecting pack animal types of machines and armored land rovers that come close to this capability.
Horrific weapons
H.G. Wells mention of “Death Rays” used by the Martians were particularly frightening and served to fuel the scientific applications that would eventually originate lasers and particle beams as offensive weapons and research tools. Often science is not necessarily the source of invention, but it is the imagination of the science fiction writer who allows practical application of such ideas to be realized. Such was the case of many of H.G. Wells descriptions of future scenarios that have led us to benefit from his unconventional imaginings to this very day. Wells had an uncanny ability to anticipate the wonders of science in a world yet to come as well as the insight of nightmares that would come to haunt mankind in his perversions of creative wonder. It seems that the vsions of H. G. Wells were not lost upon Nicola Tesla. It has been said that Tesla had invented a death ray with a ten thousand mile range sometime within the era of World War II, but it was supposedly ignored by the US military.
Potential for malpractice
In his novel, “The Island of Doctor Moreau” Wells once again anticipates the horrid unethical nature of medical experimentation gone wrong as an obsessed doctor tries to merge man and animal as one creature. H.G. Wells foresaw the insupportable dilemma of allowing inhumane experimentation to exist in a civilized society and what the terrible repercussions could be as a result. Not until the release of such books as the “Confessions of a Medical Heretic” by Robert Mendelsohn in the early 1970’s did whistle blowers begin emerging. Yet, the work of H.G. Wells gave us a glimpse of such dark possibilities decades before such revelations would ever come to shock an uniformed public. Man’s improprieties and inhumanity to himself if only in science fictional form were showcased by H. G. Wells as he addressed these less than palatable issues in story form. It is likely his fiction was really a dissertation of the unrestricted ruthlessness of science should ethics and morality not be enforced in order to prevent it from happening.
Repetition of atrocity
It is like that in the his brilliant work, “Time Machine” that Wells is actually lecturing us once again on the pitfalls of repeating the past over and over again in the realm of war as the weapons of mass destruction simply continue to become more and more devastating. His message that by ignoring the great works of the literary realm that future generations could become sheep for the slaughter when no longer armed by the wisdom of knowledge. H. G. Wells hero goes back to the future after retrieving the great writings of his time and of his past so as to rescue the minds of a distant world yet to be so that civilization could once again rebuild itself.
Still relevant
Indeed the brilliance of H. G. Wells in anticipating the potential dark eventualities based upon refusal of humankind to acknowledge the lessons of the past rings true to this very day. We would be well served to take a very sobering review of his themes and not so flattering visions for mankind in the not so distant future and wonder if the scenarios he created on the pages of his novels are perhaps not so inescapable after all if we apply morality and self-control. In view of the current global sociopolitical configuration that now plagues humanity, would it not be advisable for us to take a good long look at where we are headed, put aside the political correctness, and begin a spiritual acknowledgement of how we are to escape the pitfalls and fascism of the past?
The creator
For those who have dismissed science fiction as irrelevant fantasy, or the province of wild speculation, I suggest that you take a very sobering appraisal of just how the innovations of one H. G. Wells came to fruition within a relatively short period of time. We are just now catching up to the wonder of many of his visions as well as nightmares should mankind refuse to heed the lessons of history as it so often does. In “War of the Worlds” H. G. Wells calls upon the miracle of God’s creation of the smallest forms of life (Germs) for decimating an enemy that was quickly poised to exterminate humanity. In our world of godless liberal advocacy who belittle all who acknowledge a benevolent God who created our world, it is quite refreshing to note that great minds such as H. G. Wells had the humility to allow for creationism as the being the ultimate statement of truth and unification of science and reality.

Oudste hoogontwikkelde cultuur Europa kwam niet uit Afrika
Oudste hoogontwikkelde cultuur Europa kwam niet uit Afrika
De Minoïsche beschaving op het Griekse eiland Kreta stamde af van oude Europese volkeren en niet van immigranten uit Afrika, zo is gebleken uit DNA-onderzoek op Minoïsche begraafplaatsen. De Minoïsche cultuur was één van de oudste beschavingen in Europa en de eerste met een schriftsysteem, dat nog altijd niet ontcijferd is.
Ze ging aan de Griekse beschaving vooraf. Vele Griekse mythen en legenden zijn op de Minoïsche beschaving terug te voeren, waaronder de legende van de Minotaurus in het labyrint van Knossos. De benaming Minoïsch werd ook op basis daarvan voorgesteld door de Britse archeoloog Sir Arthur John Evans, de archeoloog die in belangrijke mate aan de herontdekking van deze beschaving heeft bijgedragen. Het is niet bekend hoe de zogeheten ‘Minoërs’ zichzelf noemden.
Volgens de meeste theorieën waren de Minoërs immigranten vanuit Anatolië (nu Turkije), het Nabije Oosten of Noord-Afrika en zouden zij van daaruit hun beschaving hebben meegebracht. Dat blijkt niet zo te zijn. Amerikaanse en Griekse onderzoekers hebben het DNA-materiaal onderzocht van 37 Kretenzers die werden begraven op het plateau van Lassithi in het oosten van het eiland. Het erfelijk materiaal werd vergeleken met dat van andere oude volken uit Europa, het Nabije Oosten en Afrika.
Het blijkt dat de oude Kretenzers nauw verwant waren aan culturen uit Sardinië en het Iberisch Schiereiland en neolithische culturen uit Frankrijk en Scandinavië. De verwantschap met Azië of Afrika was veel minder duidelijk.
De voorouders van de Minoërs zouden al ruim 9000 jaar geleden op het eiland zijn aangekomen. Er waren ook erg veel genetische overeenkomsten met de huidige bewoners van het eiland, ondanks migratiegolven die in de Oudheid hebben plaatsgevonden.
De Minoïsche cultuur op Kreta, vernoemd naar de legendarische koning Minos, werd lange tijd over het hoofd gezien. Aan het einde van de 19e eeuw toonde Evans het bestaan aan van een cultuur die ouder was dan de oude Griekse beschaving, die tot dan toe als startpunt van Europa werd beschouwd. De cultuur ging rond 1500 voor Christus ten onder. Waarom is niet duidelijk.
Video footage captured from the live camera stream of the International Space Station (ISS) shows what appears to be a giant cigar shaped UFO hovering nearby. The live footage was captured on July 9th, 2014.
It appears for approximately four minutes before fading away. The footage was taken by one of the ISS external cameras that are normally directed earthwards. The non-stationary nature of the UFO and the way it slowly moves has led some to conclude it is not a lens flare or similar lighting aberration.
This is not the first time that the ISS live camera feed has captured what appears to be a large UFO in the vicinity. The UFO appears to be very similar to the May 13, 2014 sighting from the same camera. The only difference is that the reported half a dozen orange lights are not flashing in a random manner. Back on January 29, NASA live streamingshowed what appeared to be a sleek elliptical UFO docked with the hull of the International Space Station. The object was between the Russian research module and the Soyuz escape capsule. Its size was approximately 10 meters. Some claimed that the UFO was related to an ISS ceremony featuring the Olympic flag. Yet the ISS ceremony was held in November 2013, and the flag was only about a meter in size, far smaller than the estimated 10 meter UFO.
Titan is one of the most extraordinary places in the solar system. The land is strewn with hydrocarbon dunes that rise above lakes fed by rivers of liquid methane and ethane. The atmosphere is so thick, and the gravity so weak, that a human could strap on wings and flap into the air. That air is laced with lethal hydrogen cyanide.
Scientists are investigating a mystery object, (see image above) roughly 12 miles long and 6 miles wide, that appeared in an image dated July 10, 2013 but is missing from pictures of the same spot taken previously and on July 26, 2014.
Astronomers have named the blob the “magic island” until they have a better idea what they are looking at. “We can’t be sure what it is yet because we only have the one image, but it’s not something you would normally see on Titan,” said Jason Hofgartner, a planetary scientist at Cornell University in New York. “It is not something that has been there permanently.”
And now you don’t see it again. Astronomers have discovered a bright, mysterious geologic object – where one never existed – on Cassini mission radar images of Ligeia Mare, the second-largest sea on Saturn’s moon Titan. Scientifically speaking, this spot is considered a “transient feature,” but the astronomers have playfully dubbed it “Magic Island.”
Reporting in the journal Nature Geoscience June 22, the scientists say this may be the first observation of dynamic, geological processes in Titan’s northern hemisphere. “This discovery tells us that the liquids in Titan's northern hemisphere are not simply stagnant and unchanging, but rather that changes do occur,” said Jason Hofgartner, a Cornell graduate student in the field of planetary sciences, and the paper’s lead author. “We don’t know precisely what caused this ‘magic island’ to appear, but we'd like to study it further.”

A mysteriously bright object appears on Ligeia Mare.
Titan, the largest of Saturn’s 62 known moons, is a world of lakes and seas. The moon – smaller than our own planet – bears close resemblance to watery Earth, with wind and rain driving the creation of strikingly familiar landscapes. Under its thick, hazy nitrogen-methane atmosphere, astronomers have found mountains, dunes and lakes. But in lieu of water, liquid methane and ethane flow through riverlike channels into seas the size of Earth’s Great Lakes.
To discover this geologic feature, the astronomers relied on an old technique – flipping. The Cassini spacecraft sent data on July 10, 2013, to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology for image processing. Within a few days, Hofgartner and his colleagues flipped between older Titan images and the newly processed pictures for any hint of change. This is a long-standing method used to discover asteroids, comets and other worlds. “With flipping, the human eye is pretty good at detecting change,” said Hofgartner.
Prior to the July 2013 observation, that region of Ligeia Mare had been completely devoid of features (including waves).
Titan’s seasons change on a longer time scale than Earth’s. The moon’s northern hemisphere is transitioning from the vernal equinox, or spring (August 2009), to summer solstice, or summer (May 2017). The astronomers think the strange feature may result from changing seasons.

Shrouded in a purple atmospheric haze, a foggy layer of methane and ethane hides geologic features on Titan.
In light of the changes, Hofgartner and the other authors speculate on four reasons for this phenomenon:
Northern hemisphere winds may be kicking up and forming waves on Ligeia Mare. The radar imaging system might see the waves as a kind of “ghost” island.
Gases may push out from the sea floor of Ligeia Mare, rising to the surface as bubbles.
Sunken solids formed by a wintry freeze could become buoyant with the onset of the late Titan spring warmer temperatures.
Ligeia Mare has suspended solids, which are neither sunken nor floating, but act like silt in a terrestrial delta.
“Likely, several different processes – such as wind, rain and tides – might affect the methane and ethane lakes on Titan. We want to see the similarities and differences from geological processes that occur here on Earth,” Hofgartner said. “Ultimately, it will help us to understand better our own liquid environments here on the Earth.”
In addition to Hofgartner, Cornell authors include: Alex Hayes, assistant professor of planetary sciences; Jonathan Lunine, the David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences; and Phil Nicholson, professor of astronomy. A portion of the research was performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, under a contract with NASA.
New Details of Alleged Roswell Alien Slides/Photos Revealed
By Larry Xxxxx Aerospace Professional 7-10-14
Early in March, 2014, I met with the owner of the slides, viewed them, and talked to him about his plans. (Actually, I viewed digital reproductions of the slides.) Here’s a brief status report.
The owner repeated the basic story as described in Anthony Bragalia’s article, with more specific detail, such as dates and locations. The owner affirmed that it is his intent to present the slides and their story to the public in a non-sensationialistic forum, after he has satisfied himself as to their authenticity. He feels he is nearing the end of that phase. At least one of the slides has had the cardboard sleeve sliced open to read the film edge code. The 2 subject photos appear to be a small subset of a large collection of photos of personal interest to Bernerd Ray and his wife. The larger collection of photos (perhaps 50 or more) appear to show places and events the couple visited in the time frame approximately 1945 to 1952. The owner is convinced that when analysis is complete, the slides will be shown to have originated sometime before 1949.
What do the slides show?
1. There are 2 photos, taken in an indoor setting.
2. The photos are of poor quality (focus, exposure) compared to virtually all the other photos in the same collection. For this reason, edge detection, contrast enhancement and other photoanalysis techniques are warranted and are being used.
3. The photos appear to have been taken about 4 or 5 feet from the humanoid, from a position slightly above it.
4. To my eye, the humanoid is lying on a clear glass shelf and is surrounded by either clear glass walls and/or a full glass enclosure. The enclosure appears to be more like a rectangular box than like a bottle.
5. In one of the photos, a woman is standing behind the glass case (visible from approximately the waist down). In the other photo a man is visible in the same location, leading to speculation that the man and the woman traded places and took turns taking pictures.
6. The humanoid is not immersed in a fluid; it appears to be open to the air (at least if the lid were off).
7. The glass shelf/ box that the humanoid is on/in appears to be supported on shelf brackets that are connected to vertical, metal supports. The vertical supports are perforated at regular intervals (nominally, 1 inch spacing) by drilled holes. The shelf arrangement gives the appearance of a laboratory apparatus rack.
8. The humanoid is lying on its back, with its head to the camera’s left and feet to the right.
9. There is some type of placard on the front of the glass case, with (currently undecipherable, out-of-focus) writing on it. (Shades of the Ramey memo!) It is my suspicion that this placard is the source of the idea that the genital area of the humanoid was deliberately covered up in order to escape the wrath of the censors when the slides were developed. I don’t think that is the case. From what I could see, the genital area was not visible to the camera due to the view angle of the camera. I suspect that the placard simply serves to identify the contents of the glass case.
10. The proportions of the humanoid appear to be slightly different than a “normal” human, but probably, no single dimension of the body is outside the range of naturally occurring sizes. The length of the head (crown to chin) is approximately the same length as the torso (neck to crotch). The arm length (shoulder to wrist) is approximately the length of the torso (i.e., the wrist joint is approximately aligned with the hip bone). The leg bones are long, compared to the arms.
11. Given that the body is about 3 feet long, if it is human, then it must be either a child or an adult with a developmental disorder. (Human Trisomy 17 has been suggested as a candidate.)
12. I could not see digits on either the hands or feet, and so could not count them.
13. The mouth is open and no teeth are visible.
14. The skin of the humanoid is smooth and appears to have shrunk taut against the bones (ribs, legs, arms, cranium). Whether this is due to natural effects of death (saponification, dessication, etc.) or is the result of some post-mortem treatment (embalming, freezing, etc.) is not clear.
15. The head appears to have been severed from the top of the spinal column and then replaced, lying at an unnatural angle relative to the torso.
16. There is nothing in the photo that would either definitively connect this to the Roswell event or definitively disconnect it. Any connection is coincidental (it appears to have been taken at about the right time).
Jed Garkut was in the right place at the right time when he captured a spectacular photograph of a bright light in the sky as it passed over the south coast on Thursday night.
ASTRONOMICAL: Bawley Point uni student Jed Garkut captured this spectacular image of Thursday night’s mysterious bright light in the sky which turned out to be third-stage rocket, that helped to take Russia’s second Meteor-M weather satellite into orbit, returning to Earth. Photo by Jed Garkut.
The Sydney Observatory received dozens of reports of a UFO, meteor and bright moving object in the sky from Tasmania and right along the east coast of New South Wales.
A university student and keen photographer, Jed was near his home in Bawley Point when he saw the bright object passing to the north at about 9.45pm.
He captured the incredible image which shows the light passing along the Bawley coastline, with Pigeon House Mountain in the background.
“The meteor was stunning,” he said.
“The whole tail consisted of amazing red flames.
“It was moving really slow compared to shooting stars and took a minute to get across the sky.
“Then just after this photo the flames turned green and the meteor disappeared.”
Jed, whose parents own the Bawley Bakery, said he loves taking photos of the night sky and it was “a bit of my passion”.
According to the Sydney Observatory website, some reports indicated that the object was seen for ten seconds or more which is exceptionally long for a meteor sighting and others indicated a slower speed than they had seen in previous meteor sightings.
A tail was reported by many people which this is a dust trail or train left behind by the object as it moves through the atmosphere.
At first experts believed the object was likely to be a piece of an asteroid or space rock, called a bolide or a fireball, hitting the Earth’s atmosphere, moving almost parallel to the Earth’s surface along the above path.
However on Friday, the observatory stated the object was the third-stage rocket that helped to take Russia’s second Meteor-M weather satellite into orbit on July 8, 2014.
This was a massive metal object and there have been reports of a sonic boom heard near Cobar about 600 kilometres west of Sydney suggesting that the rocket disintegrated in that vicinity.
If metal debris from the rocket is found in the vicinity of Cobar that would be proof of the location of the rocket’s break up.
The female witness suddenly awoke to the sounds of her 5month old baby crying. It seems that a strange light originating from somewhere outside had disturbed the child’s sleep. But feeling extremely tired the witness goes back to bed, but she awakes almost immediately and observes a beam of light entering the room through an opening in the blinds. The light does not behave like a normal ray of light, but advances along the walls and objects in the room like a ribbon of coherent light. Concerned the witness thought to herself, “I don’t want the light to touch my baby” and immediately after the lights retracts out the window.
The witness then attempts to sleep again but is awakened again as she feels a presence she looks at the walls and sees the same strange light which immediately retracts again. She attempts to sleep again but opens her eyes and sees the light shining on the baby’s cradle, the light retracts again and she places the baby on the bed. She then looks out the kitchen window to see where the light originated from. She then hears a soft whistling sound and sees a very intense source of light in the garden close to the villa. She also sees several “men” running towards the source of light and wonders what are “these fellows doing here”. She then walks to the living room where she has a better view of the area. She then observes in the garden approximately 20meters away a “very beautiful” machine about 1.20 to 1.50meters in diameter hovering at about 1meter from the ground. The apparatus has an unknown metallic glare, like “milky money” with an intrinsic luminosity. The luminous beam of light that she observed earlier is coming out from the side of the object, the beam is colorless or “light gray” in color. The object is totally silent and is not moving. She then observes a strange “character” clearly illuminated by the glare of light; the figure is humanoid about 1.20m in height, with a large head, without visible neck. She finds his appearance extremely disconcerting and thinks it might be a “soldier”.
The figure is wearing a type of overall with three large pockets one on the top and one on each leg, it’s also wearing a belt. She stares at the being intently afraid of being discovered. Again she hears the whistle, which had ceased and then sees another similar being which appears to be collecting stones from the ground. Moments later it raises its head and sees the witness who realizes that the beings are not human. A terrible fear then invades her and the hairs of her body stand up on end. She is so frightened that she is unable to move. She observes the figures intently and does not get the impression of hostility coming from them. At this point the first figure joins the second one and they appear to engage in conversation, 3-4 others which she had seen at the beginning now join this two. One of the beings, apparently the leader makes a hand sign and the figures scatter again, some climbing over a nearby palisade. Only one creature remains behind, this one engrossed in collecting stones from the ground. The witness remains paralyzed at the window.
After what seems to be a long time the other beings return. She notices that they seemed to proceed with discipline and confidence. Moments a transparent “telescopic foot” comes down from the center of the object, then squatting, and one by one, the beings place themselves inside the “foot” and levitate up into the object. They seemed to be absorbed into the center of the object, at this moment the luminous beam of light on the side of the craft disappears. The witness was convinced that there were six of these beings and was confused as to how all of them managed to fit inside such a small object. The object then rose slightly and began to rotate at high speed in a clockwise direction. Its luminosity increased but without illuminating its surroundings. It then rose in a parabolic trajectory until approximately 25 meters from the ground and then “faded out”. The witness remained at the window for a few moments and then went to the kitchen to look at the time. 45 minutes had passed. The witness further added that the beings had moved in a quick stealthy manner like a cat. The next day she discovered a pink spot under her right eye of approximately 2cm to 3cm in diameter, she also saw a similar but paler spot behind the right ear of her son. Both spots disappeared completely as the months passed.

Some of the abductees who – during their frightening experiences – found the courage and the strength to ask questions about the deeper meaning of their experience; questions for “why” these things were happening to them, usually received the stereotypical answer: “It is our right!” If it is truly their right, we must ask: Who has given them this right?
In a case that Professor David Jacobs quotes, an abductee reacted with a very frightened response to the Greys when she shouted at them: “Your are transformers!”
This is exactly what they are: transformers! They are not what they seem to be. Their camouflage and their behavior conceals what they really are.
And who or what is hiding behind the camouflage? We may never find an answer to that question. The explanations we offer will most likely be wrong. This makes the study of this phenomenon all the more complicated. The deeper we attempt to penetrate this phenomenon, the more confusing it may become. However, one thing is certain: these events are happening and they leave their victims with physical and psychological aftereffects. These events occurred in the distant past and they continue to occur today.
Combined Experiences
There is another subject that is important to mention at this time. The abduction phenomenon appears to be connected with other boundary-type experiences involving human beings. Ina from northern Germany describes an abduction from the year 1991. What's really unusual is that it seems to have been a combined out of body / near death / UFO abduction experience, since the event includes elements of all of these experiences. Ina reported to me:
“I lay in the bed. It was around 11 o'clock in the evening. My husband was already asleep and I looked to the window. We have no curtains in the bedroom and because of this I could see the sky very well. Suddenly, my reality changed. It was somehow modified.”
Modification of reality – what does this mean? Abductees are describing this effect again and again. For the first time, it was recognized by the British UFO researcher Jenny Randles and called “The Oz Factor” according to the old English tale of the magic land of Oz.
It is possible that a real modification of the individual's environment is made or that the consciousness of the person is extended in some way. Both possibilities are conceivable, and both would lead to The Oz Factor. The modification of the subject's reality begins the actual event for the experiencer.
Back to Ina's experience:
“I saw a light beam in my room and I floated in it to the outside of the house. Strangely enough, I passed through the window pane in this beautiful bright beam of light.
I felt perfectly fine and somehow sensed a being of light on the right side of me. I somehow saw it from the corners of my eyes. I could not recognize the face, but I am certain that it was feminine. I was very excited and happy and I said or thought, 'You really exist!' Oddly enough, I immediately thought about UFOs although I only saw the beam of light and the bright being. This being emitted an unbelievable warmth and kindness and I felt as sheltered as never before in my life. The being answered: 'Surely, what did you think?' She responded very natural and lovingly like a mother would respond to her child who asked a silly question. I was pleased and felt perfectly well.”
What did Ina experience here? An out of body journey during which her soul floated through the window? A near death experience during which she was accompanied by a being of light into another dimension of existence?
It is exactly these types of experiences that are described by many people who have stood at the threshold of death and returned with conscious memories of their mysterious journey. Was it a classical UFO abduction during which she was taken into an object hovering over her house or was it a combination of all of these?
Ina reported further:
“I can still remember that we floated upward together in the beam of light. We came to a big oval light which also had an aperture in the light. I saw that I was at this aperture – when suddenly I was back in my bed again. It is strange because everything was the same as before. My husband was asleep and I was still lying with my face to the window. It was as if nothing had happened. However, I am certain that it did happen. I felt and experienced everything. I was excited – and then I fell asleep.”
It is difficult to decide where precisely the boundaries are between the so-called “classic” abduction model and experiences such as this one, which may possibly take place in the brain or with the soul of the experiencer. It may indeed, be a combination of an abduction, out of body and a near death experience. It may be that these boundaries are so liquid and blurred, that at the present level of understanding we are unable to recognize or define them.
Global Modification Plan
It is also possible that what is occurring with abductees may be the beginning of something much larger. It may be the beginning of a global modification plan which will eventually include more and more people. Some estimates from the United States indicate that approximately 20 percent of all Americans are already describing events related to the abduction phenomenon. From my own work with abductees I believe that a similar number of individuals in Germany, Austria and Switzerland may also be involved. In the past three years, more than 200 people have contacted me, all reporting nearly identical experiences with the unbelievable. This is, however, only the tip of the iceberg. Twenty percent is much more than a single hypothesis can explain. “Perhaps,” as Harvard psychiatrist Professor John Mack wrote, “…we are all abductees – in one manner or another.”

A new video preview published to YouTube on July 10, 2014 offers viewers exclusive insight into an online class that seeks in part to answer questions concerning how the public can navigate extensive state-implemented social, cultural and political chasms surrounding UFO and ET contact-related issues. Emphasizing entry-level perspectives, “UFOs and You: Experiential Contact for Beginners” investigates topics including disclosure, communications (along with accompanying psychic dimensions) and night vision equipment while providing access to stunning never-before-seen UFO videos acquired through an independent multi-year study in British Columbia and Washington state.
While the 82-minute course of instruction may be intended for beginners, “UFOs and You” pulls no punches in defining today’s medieval witch hunt-like anti-conspiracy climate. The class cites numerous examples of an establishment that too easily squanders moral capital in defense of CIA Robertson Panel-inspired agendas (ones that actually anticipate the proliferation of widespread sightings with subsequent mass popular backlash against official policies of deceit).
Spirit of Adventure
As a refreshing summer respite from the woefully naive this online educational offering is also not afraid to engage with failings of reality television’s attempts at UFO journalism. According to “UFOs and You,” the genre (ostensibly in representation of “we the people”) seeks to further glamorize what critics characterize as out-of-control media militarization by compelling pseudo-UFO investigators in at least one instance to breach perimeters on clearly-defined secure facilities (such as Nevada’s Area 51) in acts where no possibility of achieving any positive constructive outcome exist whatsoever.
In terms of what viewers may have been conditioned (read brainwashed) to expect as light entertainment, “UFOs and You” is geared towards audiences called to answer to their own inner spirit of adventure. The included night vision and all-sky video outtakes leap directly into the front lines of contemporary contact encounters through the lens of an independent researcher. Although taped live near the site of Kenneth Arnold’s 1947 flying saucers incident, this class definitely doesn’t take a page from your grandmother’s school of UFO education (unless her name happened to be Mae Brussell).
On Facebook
Along with the free YouTube preview there’s a Facebook group for students to further explore and discuss issues raised in class. One of the values emphasized in “UFOs and You” is the power of the collective to mitigate circumstantial social, cultural, political and internal pressures that accompany journeys undertaken beyond the edge of present human knowledge and experience. At the same time, this class also recognizes the power of the individual to get up off the couch (newly-acquired night vision camera in hand) to start discovering and sharing in a real world beyond the shadows of controlled media-spawned alien illusions.

On the night of January 23, 1974, an enigmatic and unresolved event occurred on the Berwyn Mountains range in North Wales, United Kingdom that, for some within the UFO research community, has come to be known as the definitive British Roswell. Researcher Andy Roberts stated of this mysterious affair (in his book, UFO Down!): “The claim was that a UFO piloted by extraterrestrials crashed, or was shot down, on the mountain known as Cader Berwyn and that the alien crew, some still alive, were whisked off to a secret military installation in the south of England for study.” That secret military installation was said to be none other than Porton Down. Beyond any shadow of doubt, one of the most secretive of all government-connected installations situated within the confines of the United Kingdom, Porton Down can be found in the green and pleasant county of Wiltshire, and its overwhelmingly-classified work focuses to a very significant degree on exotic viruses, chemical- and biological-warfare. Although work at Porton Down originally, and secretly, began at the height of the tumultuous First World War, it was not until the dawning of the 1940s that the installation became the central hub for British interest in, and concerns relative to, the expanding realms of chemical- and biological-warfare. From 1946 onwards, one year after the successful defeat of Nazi Germany, Porton Down’s work began to focus more on the defensive – rather than chiefly offensive – aspects of such issues, and in 1957 the installation was duly christened the Microbiological Research Establishment. By the late-1970s, a decision was made to place the MRE under the control of a civil body. As a result, significant reorganization duly occurred: on April 1, 1979, the MRE became the Center for Applied Microbiology and Research. Then, in 1995, it was absorbed into the Defense Evaluation and Research Agency. Six years later, there was yet another change: DERA split into two organizations, a private body called QinetiQ, and the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory, a body steeped in official secrecy, as a result of the fact that it is an arm of the Ministry of Defense. Today, the facility is known as DSTL, Porton Down. Of course, the idea of dead aliens taken to Porton Down sounds like a conspiracy theorists’ wildest dream come to life. But, despite vociferous attacks from the more skeptically-minded researchers in the UFO research community, it has steadfastly remained an integral part of the story ever since it first surfaced – publicly, at least – in 1996. The original source of the Porton Down story as it specifically related to the Berwyn controversy, was a UFO investigator named Tony Dodd, a now-dead North Yorkshire, England police-sergeant with a quarter-of-a-century of service in the Force to his credit. At the time the account was first revealed, Dodd flatly refused to reveal – to anyone – the real name of the source for his sensational story, and instead preferred to provide him with the pseudonym of James Prescott. According to Prescott, at the time of the Berwyn incident, he was stationed at an Army barracks in the south of England. Stressing to Dodd that he could not name either his unit or his barracks as they were still very much operational, Prescott said that by January 18, 1974 it was acutely clear that something most unusual was afoot: he and his colleagues were placed on emergency stand-by status. The reason why soon became incredibly apparent. Twenty-four hours later, Prescott’s unit was directed to make its careful, secret way towards the English city of Birmingham. The team then received orders to proceed with speed towards North Wales, but were halted on the outskirts of the English city of Chester, in readiness for a military exercise they were told was about to take place in the area. Not long after, the orders changed yet again: make your way to the town of Llangollen, North-East Wales. On arrival at Llangollen, recalled Prescott, the unit noticed a great deal of ground-based activity in the area. In addition, military aircraft were soaring across the darkened, mountainous Welsh skies. Extraordinary events were clearly unfolding at an extremely fast rate. But it was shortly after 11.30 p.m. when things really began to take shape, and Prescott and his colleagues were on the move once more: to the village of Llandderfel. The team soon reached the little hamlet, whereupon they were directed to load two large, oblong boxes into their vehicle: “We were at this time warned not to open the boxes, but to proceed to Porton Down and deliver the boxes.” A number of hours later, they reached the secret Wiltshire-based facility, and were duly directed to a specific part of the installation. Once inside, explained Prescott, the boxes were opened by staff at the facility in their presence: they contained nothing less than two strange, unearthly creatures that had been placed inside decontamination suits. The staff at Porton then began the careful, daunting task of opening the suits. Prescott said that when this action was complete it was clear to all those present that the entities were not of this Earth. He elaborated: “What I saw in the boxes that day made me change my whole concept of life. The bodies were about five to six feet tall, humanoid in shape, but so thin they looked almost skeletal with a covering skin. Although I did not see a craft at the scene of the recovery, I was informed that a large craft had crashed and was recovered by other military units.” Perhaps even more remarkable was what Prescott had to say next. Namely, that shortly after his life-changing experience at Porton Down, he had the opportunity to speak with several colleagues from his own unit, who guardedly informed him they had also transported aliens to Porton Down, but with one amazing difference: “Their cargo was still alive.” And that’s where the Berwyn Mountains story dries up, unfortunately. But the Porton Down/UFO link continues.
In Llandrillo, North Wales, United Kingdom, on January 23, 1974, an extremely compelling UFO event began. Many of the residents of the village heard an extremely loud noise. Most of the citizens thought that an explosion had occurred-possibly a plane crash. Those who ventured outside on this cold night were astonished to see blue and orange lights near the Cader Bronwen mountain.
Witness Statement
There would be many eyewitness accounts of what was seen. The press immediately investigated the occurrence, and interviewed those close to the scene of the lights on the mountain. The first newspaper accounts made this statement:
“There was a huge explosion a few minutes after 8:30 PM. From various accounts, this preceded, some say, by up to two or three minutes, a violent shaking of the ground, like a medium-sized earthquake-objects inside houses were knocked off shelves.”
Area Cordoned Off:
The scene of the area near the mountain would closely resemble the Kecksburg, Pennsylvania crash of 1965. Local police would arrive at the scene first, soon followed by the Royal Air Force. The area in and around the crash site was zoned off, with no one allowed to enter. A search and rescue effort would be ongoing for several days, with no information being related to interested bystanders or press personnel.
Group of Men:
An employee of a hotel in nearby Bala would come forward with a very interesting story. He stated that a group of men had checked into the hotel, and stayed during the search of the mountains. They did admit that they were involved in the mission, but could not talk about what they had seen or found at the site. Another account was given by a nurse who lived in Llanderfel, also close to the scene of the crash. Local police had asked for the assistance of the nurse at the crash site. She was told a plane had gone down in the area.
A Glowing UFO:
Being rushed to the scene, and not being able to get a sitter for her teenage daughters, she was forced to take them along. Driving on B4391, at 10:00 PM, the road was deserted. As she reached the foot of the mountain chain, she was shocked at what she saw… a glowing UFO. She and her daughters would later relate their story to the press. They saw a UFO, which was almost intact. It was a large, circular object, and glowed an orange color.
Escorted from Site:
They were within a couple of hundred yards of the object, and were certain of what they saw. They also saw emergency personnel-local police and military, close to the object. The nurse was instructed to immediately leave the area. She told the authorities that she was ordered to the site, but was quickly escorted from the area.
Investigation Covered Up:
For several days, all roads leading to the crash area were closed to everyone but authorized personnel. The nurse was told by local shepherds that they were not allowed to tend their flocks during the operation at the mountain. Most of the citizens that lived near the area of the mountain crash were convinced by what they saw that a military cover-up was being conducted.Farmer Huw Lloyd, 48, who was a teenager at the time, said: ‘Whatever it was, it was kept quiet. I think there are things we should know about. And things that have happened have been covered up.’
Firefighter Adrian Roberts, who was thrown from his settee by the tremor in January 1974, told the programme makers: ‘What are they hiding? There was a lot of military action in the area. Areas were secluded off from the public. It was about three months before anyone was allowed to go near the site.
‘What people have seen and reported simply could not be made up.’ Retired North Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Elfed Roberts, who was a sergeant at the time of the UFO incident, was rushing to Llandrillo moments after the tremor with his superior when they saw the mysterious lights.
He said: ‘As we were driving, all of a sudden we saw this green light in the sky ahead of us and it seemed to be an arcing light, but it was very sudden, totally unexpected, different to anything ever seen before.’
Ripperston Farmhouse UFO Phenomena – The British Roswell?
By Ian Brockwell
Although the UFO activity seen at Ripperston Farmhouse happened some time ago (1977), it is probably one of the most important events seen in Britain, and whilst it is not as famous as the Roswell incident many years earlier, it certainly warrants a great deal more attention.
My brother, Nigel Brockwell, has had an interest in UFO’s and the Paranormal for many years and was taking a holiday in Wales when he read about Ripperston Farmhouse. He had decided on a more scenic route for his return journey and this took him close to the farm.
Not knowing what response he would receive, he decided to call in at the farm for a chat with the occupants.
He was greeted by Mrs. Pauline Coomb who invited him in, and she introduced him to her husband, Billy. What struck Nigel the most was the couple’s apparent honesty about the information they were giving, and their lack of interest in profiting from the story (quite a rare thing nowadays).
It should be pointed out that the UFO activity around the farm was not a one-off event, but a series of experiences that occurred between mid January and mid December 1977.
Although the Ripperston farm is situated in a rather isolated area of South Wales, there were (are) a number of high security (perhaps top secret) military bases close by. According to the records, UFO’s were reported over these bases and the military were involved in some “unusual” activities and searches.
The Ripperston Farmhouse story began on the 14th of January 1977, when Pauline Coomb saw a “great ball of incandescent light, hanging motionless over the field near the cliff top”. It was not unusual to see strange lights in the sky (because of the military activity), but this was different.
After approximately twenty minutes the light started to move, swinging from side to side (much like a pendulum), as it got nearer to the ground and disappearing below the cliff.
Pauline woke up her husband (who was sleeping in a chair at the time) and he went to the cliff top path to search for whatever the object was. Unfortunately, he found nothing.
The following day newspapers were carrying the story of UFO sightings. Although Billy didn’t really believe that his wife’s “light” was a “flying saucer”, he did admit that there were some strange things going on. He was quoted as saying “There were as many as fifty frogmen below the cliff. Unmarked army trucks, soldiers in camouflage. The Navy was there too…building some sort of path beneath the water. This doesn’t make sense!”
Clinton, Pauline’s eldest son, commented on a strange humming noise coming from outside the bathroom window which would enter and fill the whole room.
Two schoolboys claimed to have seen a dome shaped UFO with “pulsating green and yellow lights” hovering over a building in Haverfordwest. They also approached a blue light in a field near their school, which flew off at speed when they got nearer.
Fourteen other schoolboys also saw a landed UFO near their school and a “silver” figure near the craft. They described the craft as having ten or eleven windows and a kind of ramp leading from a door.
One Friday evening, as Pauline and Billy were watching a movie on television, Pauline was distracted by a flickering light in the window, and the whining of their dog Blackie. The light was still there after an hour, and Billy (who had fallen asleep) was woken by what he thought was car headlights. He then noticed a “shimmering figure” of a man at the window.
The figure was wearing a silver suit and apparently seven foot tall. It didn’t move and just seemed to be staring inside. Billy commented that there was only blackness where the face should have been, and it sounded as if the man at the window was wearing a helmet with a shaded visor (much like astronauts would use).
A little while later the figure at the window raised a gloved hand to the glass, which started to rattle. At the same time the lights dimmed and the television stopped working.
Billy managed to call his neighbour and the police, and when the police siren could be heard approaching the farm, the figure vanished.
The following morning Pauline discovered “a scorched rose bush in the flower bed and huge footprints beneath the window”
A newspaper reported a sighting involving a “Jelly Mould” shaped UFO in a garden near the farm, which was said to be fifteen feet high and fifty feet wide.
Shortly after reading this in the newspaper, Pauline’s friend, Rosa, telephoned to say that she had seen a dome shaped UFO in a field near the hotel where she worked. It produced a light and two tall, human like, figures got out and appeared to be searching for something on the ground.
The description of the figures seemed to match the one seen at Pauline and Billy’s window. Rosa said the figures returned to the craft after about twenty minutes and it flew off at great speed, in the direction of the farm.
Sightings of dome shaped UFO’s and figures in silver suits continued, and on one occasion the Coomb’s son, Keiron, claimed to see a “tall dark, fluid-like shape” in the front room of their farmhouse.
However, a sighting on the 12th of November was perhaps the most bizarre of all. After seeing a UFO (in the daytime) perform some spectacular manoeuvres, it suddenly plunged into the sea by the famous Stack Rocks.
Pauline took her kids with her to investigate this further from the cliff tops, and on the rocks below she saw two figures in silver suits, who she estimated to be between eight to twelve feet tall. She noticed a “door” in the rocks, where one of the figures emerged and they moved around the base of the rock. After the figures returned through the door, it faded away and could no longer be seen.
On returning home, Pauline received a call from her friend Rosa. Apparently, she had been looking at Stack Rocks with her binoculars and saw a “silvery” UFO fly into an entrance on the Rock. Sometime later silver-suited figures came out of the opening in the Rock and climbed down to the sea and back again several times.
After one more sighting on the 19th of December 1977, the UFO activity came to an end at the Ripperston Farmhouse.
Did these events really happen? It would certainly seem so, but whether this involved Aliens or advanced military equipment and personnel we cannot say for sure.
Considering these events happened more than 32 years ago, and not that long after the moon landing, it seems unlikely that the military would have such crafts. We can only assume that a more advanced race was responsible for these sightings, and were working with the knowledge of the military.
If this is true, it supports the belief of a cover-up and indicates how long this has been going on. It also asks the question of why this is being kept a secret. Do aliens want to keep their presence a secret from the general public, or do some of our leaders insist on this (for personal gain)?
The fact that people are still reporting UFO sightings might suggest that if aliens are involved, they are not that worried about being spotted. However, the authorities take a much more defensive role and make every effort to keep information from us.
It would be nice to think the authorities have our interests at heart in keeping this information secret, but knowing the government and politicians as we do, that is very unlikely.
There is a growing feeling on the internet that something “major” is about to break shortly on the subject of UFO’s and Aliens, and my personal view is that this will be good news, although maybe not for everyone.
