BILLY MEIER …… NOT AS CRAZY AS THE DEBUNKERS FIRST THOUGHT
In 1980, Billy Meier, the Swiss UFO contactee, took 63, clear 35mm film photographs and a five-minute video of an object dubbed the Wedding Cake UFO, or WCUFO. Skeptics immediately pounced on the photos claiming they showed a model made from a garbage can lid and Christmas tree ornaments. With MUFON, the international UFO investigating organization, lacking the technology to determine the authenticity of his UFO photos, and Meier himself not saying anything in his own defense, the matter was perceived as a hoax and became just another UFO “cold case.” Enter “CSI” Fast forward to today where – just like in an episode of CSI – independent researcher Prof. Rhal Zahi revives the Meier cold case by taking a took a close look at the “DNA” in the WCUFO photos using PhotoShop, professional 3-D computer modeling software and actual scale models. His 74-page report, including his reproducible protocols, conclusively authenticate the photos as large, unknown objects and rules out small models or special effects. Prof. Zahi then discovered never before seen details in a nighttime WCUFO photo that have been hidden in not so plain sight – for 34 years – revealing that the craft is hovering over a gravel road and that Meier somehow actually took the photo from… above the object.
MUFON Takes Another Look. Armed with Prof. Zahi’s authentication of the WCUFO, Meier’s American representative, Michael Horn, contacted Jan Harzan, the Executive Director of MUFON, who has known about the Meier case for 25 years and struggled with it being simply “too good.” Harzen and Horn formed a precedent setting alliance and, for the first time in 34 years, MUFON opened the Meier case to its 3,000 members worldwide. Staggering Implications. According to Horn, “Prof. Zahi’s work vindicates Meier of charges that he hoaxed his evidence. It also makes the SETI program unnecessary because it conclusively shows that the UFOs photographed and filmed by Billy Meier are extraterrestrial in origin. With Meier’s well-documented contacts with the Plejaren extraterrestrials still ongoing for over 72 years – and so rich in scientific information- the implications are truly staggering. “Now along with NASA aerospace engineers recognizing its significance, modern technology makes it easy enough for an eight year-old child with a computer to prove the most important discovery in all of science and human history for themselves. We are not alone, we’ve been contacted and now it’s up to us to see if we can actually recognize – and handle – the truth.”
An update on the remarkable, historical developments in the Billy Meier case may be announced at the upcoming MUFON Symposium, July 17 – 20, in Pennsylvania.

(N.Morgan) Many witnesses,spanning across 4 states, reported seeing a blazing fireball over the skies in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia. Many people reported seeing the bright light in the sky between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. EDT. Dan Perhar, a software developer at North Carolina University, captured it around 10:15 p.m. as he was driving on Interstate 440 in Raleigh. NASA Solar System Ambassador and WRAL contributor Tony Rice viewed the video. “Looking at that dashcam video it looked pretty low on the horizon. That flash may have been it breaking up,” Rice posted on Twitter.
Lake Vostok in Antarctica has been closed off 2-1/2 miles down and millions of years. Locked away below the ice with no sunlight for millions of years and air temperatures of around -128 degrees Fahrenheit. No chance there's life, right?
Well…
Over 3500 forms of life have been found there with recognizable forms, but also a whole group of novel life forms. There were forms of bacteria and multi-cell organisms, but also potential mollusk relatives and maybe even fish, though researchers are hesitant to proclaim that.
Some are making a correlation with the conditions on Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter that has similar conditions. They are using the odd logic, however, that for life to exist down there, it would have had to have started on the moon and moved down into its icy waters, but I'm not certain there's any logic in that. If I recall right, these same scientists said life started in the sea here….
This amazing find has shed more light on how life can happen in burning hot volcanic outlets in oceans, some of the worst dry and nasty climates of our earth, and now under a 2-1/2 mile polar cap with no light.

Jan Wolski a 71-year old farmer, was passing through a forest in his horse drawn cart when he noticed two individuals ahead, walking in the same direction, but with “supple jumps” like divers on the sea bed. When one of them approached a muddy patch, his feet seemed to slide across the mud, as reported in a number of other cases. When Wolski caught up with the strangers, they walked alongside the horse and cart for a while them jumped onboard and sat down gently, one at each side, gesturing to Wolski to carry on. The added weight caused the mare to exert extra effort. Wolski drove on while the strangers exchanged some words in an incomprehensible tongue. Shortly, as the cart approached a clearing in the forest, a strange, almost “transparent white” object could be seen, hanging in the air about 70 meters away, emitting a faint humming sound. Wolski described the object as like a short bus, but with a roof like a barn, it was about 5 meters in length, three meters in width, and about 2.5 meters in height. It shone, as if nickel-plated. No windows were seen. At its four corners, and half-way up it had on the outside, barrels with black vertical rods running through them and carrying what looked like spirals rather reminiscent of corkscrews. These black rods were rotating very fast. The “corkscrews” emitted a range of colors, and the barrels seemed to have been the source of the humming. When closer to the object, Wolski said the sound was like that of bumblebees in flight. The craft’s surface was smooth, stainless, and seamless. At a height of some 50 cm from the ground was suspended a lift held by four thin cables attached above the entrance to the craft, which had descended as the trio approached. Stepping on to the platform one of the entities invited Wolski aboard, gesturing to him that he should grasp the cables. After rising rapidly the lift stopped in front of an opening and Wolski was motioned inside. Inside, Wolski stepped into a chamber with walls that were almost black and saw two more beings identical with the first two. The chamber was rectangular. There was no internal lighting other than the daylight from the open door. The walls, floor, and ceiling were a grayish black the same color as the overalls of the occupants. The floor was shining, as though polished. The walls were smooth and hard to the touch, and made of a material resembling glass. Against the four walls there were seats, each fastened by two black cables. No apparatus was seen inside the contraption, with the exception of two black tubes that ran from one gable wall to the other and two holes, about 30 cm apart, into each of which one of the entities inserted alternately a smallish black rod. From floor to ceiling, the height was about 1.8 meters. On the floor of this cabin were about ten crows or rooks, which seemed to be paralyzed, though they could move their heads and eyes. The four identical beings, of indeterminate sex, were about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall and had delicate, slim figures. They were dressed in tight-fitting, flexible one-piece suits of a grayish black rubber like material, covering the entire body except the faces and hands. No pockets, belt, or fasteners were seen. Their legs seemed thicker than those of normal men, and form the way these curved when the beings sat in the cart with their legs hanging down, they looked like prehensile limbs. A hump was visible on the shoulders, as though something was contained under the suits. The slim, greenish colored hands had five fingers, between which were fine membranes, except for the gap between thumb and forefinger. Their heads were relatively large, with faces of an olive green or greenish brown hue, having high cheekbones that gave them an Asiatic appearance. The eyes, almond shaped, very long, were dark, and appeared to lack any whites. In the place of the nose, there was only a slight protuberance with two small vertical openings. The mouth was straight and thin. Their teeth were white. No hair was visible on the face. When the beings smiled, the mouth twisted to one side with the effect of a grimace. Their speech was rapid and delicate. They had a polite, gentle demeanor and Wolski felt no fear in their presence. The beings indicated to Wolski that he should take off his clothes, and one of them helped him undo his shirt buttons. Facing him less than two meters away, one of the beings held in each hand a gray disc shaped object that seemed to be attached to the hand by something like a suction pad. The discs were vibrating and emitting a dull humming sound. Wolski was positioned with one side facing towards the entity holding the discs, then with his back towards him, and finally with the other side. Wolski’s arms were raised alternately by the entities, whose fingers were very cold. During the process he smelled an odor similar to that of burning sulfur; a smell that lingered in his clothing for days afterwards. When ready he was shown the way out, bowed, and said goodbye. The beings bowed likewise, smiling. The same lift took him down almost to ground level, so that he was obliged to jump down a short way. Reaching his horse and car, Wolski turned around to look at the contraption. Two or three of the beings were watching him from the entrance. He did not see them leave.

So, you want to know whether flying saucers are real? Well. the evidence you are about to see is so strong that if this were a murder case the accused would hang. This case was presented on ats about three years ago by chadwickus, and while he put together a good thread I personally feel he left out too much to really do it justice.
Westall, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. On the morning of April 6 1966 the children of Westall were in school. One of the children was looking out of a classroom window and saw a flying saucer hovering outside, he excitedly announced what he could see and within minutes the entire school, including the staff, were outside watching two flying saucers hovering just a few yards away.
Graham Simmonds was the first to see the flying saucers. He was standing at the window and saw a saucer hovering.
Terry Peck was playing outside when she heard another child shout “Look a flying saucer”. Terry looked up in the sky, and she says it really was a flying saucer. She says it was a round silver disc hovering low over the school. She remembers children screaming and running inside to hide.
Marilyn Smith says she was inside and children started running back in, they were hysterical and screaming “there’s a flying saucer in the Oval”
Barbara Robbins, the chemistry teacher grabbed her camera and started taking pictures.
Claude Miller says he was having a crafty ciggy at the time. He says that Andrew Greenwood (another teacher) came rushing at him saying “Did you see it, did you see it”
Brenden Dickson says he saw a saucer hovering just a few feet above the ground. He says it descended and just sat there for a few minutes, then it went back up and shot off.
Its difficult to present this case on a timeline for several reasons, first, it happened more than fourty years ago, also the children were running about all over the place, and also because there were TWO saucers and not all the children saw both of them. The majority of the children followed a saucer to a rough bit of ground they refer to as The Oval. They say the saucer actually landed in the oval and some of them got quite close to it.
Terry Peck says some of the girls who got there before her passed out when they got close. She says a girl named Tanya had collapsed and an ambulance was called and took Tanya away. Tanya was never seen again!!! (someone should look into what happened to Tanya)
Victor Zakruzny says that before the craft went to the oval they landed in a grassy paddock. He said there were two discs on the ground a couple of meters apart. He went over to them and says he was going to touch them but when he was within a meter of them he could feel heat coming from them. He said they just sat there for about a minute then they slowly lifted off and went towards the oval.
Victor did a rough sketch of what he saw
Its interesting that his drawing shows three round…power units? We so often hear about craft with three lights! He said the craft were completely smooth and looked like they’d come out of a mold.
Joy Clarke says that in the afternoon the school had a special assembly. The headmaster told the children they were all nuts! That they hadn’t seen anything, and they were forbidden to talk to anyone about it.
Graham Simmonds says he was prepped to tell the students that what they’d seen didn’t exist. He says he was given the job of walking up and down the corridors to keep the students in their rooms. While he was walking the corridors he saw the teacher who’d been taking photographs of the saucers struggling with people in uniform who were demanding she hand over her camera.
Later the media arrived. The police also arrived to keep the media away and would not let them talk to anyone. Some children had managed to get out and were talking to the media but were immediately taken back into school by the police.
Marilyn Smith appeared on a tv show (channel 9) and was given detention when she returned to school.
The author of the vid (bottom of this post) contacted channel 9 to see whether this case was still in their records, it was!
He was given permission to search their archives for the footage. We can all guess what he found…an empty film can.
However in the state library of Victoria there are newspapers referring to this case.
Paul Smith a market gardener and his boss were working in their field when the flying saucers arrived. They stood looking at them for several minutes. He said a few minutes later the children from the school flooded across their field in pursuit of the craft.
Most people who saw the saucers say that five Cessna airplanes arrived and that’s when the saucers took off at high speed. About twenty minutes later army trucks appeared with about twenty men in them.
Lt Col. Neil Smith a military historian says he’s unaware of any military bases close enough to have gotten men to the location so quickly. Also witnesses say the men in the trucks wore kaki coloured uniforms but Neil Smith says the Australian military did not wear uniforms of this colour in 1966.
Just four days before the saucers landed at the school. somebody reported seeing a strange object in the sky and took these photos.
This picture is very relevant because those who saw the saucers fly away said they turned on their side when they went away.
Also, another strange story was reported just two days before the saucers landed at the school.
Ron Sullivan says that he was driving along a nearby road one night when he noticed a bright light in the trees. He says as he got closer it pulled his headlights to the side as if being pulled by a magnet.
Ron Sullivan did not bother reporting this event until he saw this.
This happened just two days before the event seen by Ron Sullivan and six days before the saucers landed at the school.
There is so much more to this story, if you have even the slightest interest in ufo’s then the video below will blow your mind.
You should not be asking yourself – Did this happen? The question you should be asking is – WHO WERE THEY!!
For me this case proves one of two things. 1. Aliens landed. or 2. The military had anti gravity capability as far back as 1966.
All the pics and info were taken from the video below.
Location: Texas, exact location not given Date: 1964
Time: late night
The ten-year old witness and a friend had sneaked out at night and were roaming the neighborhood when suddenly the landscape lit up around them. There was a thunder like sound. The main witness looked up to see a huge saucer shaped craft hovering overhead. As his friend remained in a paralyzed state the witness sees a small craft landing nearby. Three figures… emerged from the object, two were five-foot tall and gray colored, the third was much larger and brown colored. As the witness attempted to run he was grabbed by the brown being that then forced him into the small object sometimes using an electric type gadget. He was eventually knocked out and taken up into the larger craft. His next recollection was being fastened to a metallic tube. A dark green humanoid woman sat on his chest. She manipulated the witness sexually and made him ejaculate. A dark colored plate was placed on his face and then he was put in a small closet like room. The floor of the room opened up and a multi-colored energy field engulfed him. He then dropped out of the craft and floated back to earth to his backyard.

Flying Humanoids – Paranormal Documentary Documentary on flying humanoids – strange creatures in the sky reported all over the world, including eyewitness accounts and video evidence – footage of these aliens or monsters or other dimensional beings. A look back at a series of mid-20th Century reports of bizarre flying humanoids that caused waves of panic in small towns across the Northern United States and recent encounters in Mexico and California. The investigation also analyzes a strange corpse and video evidence to identify what people are seeing.
A Big Purple Mothership was the last thing Lenny expected to see when he went out four-wheeling.
The clouds were large and full on a seasonal April day in 2012. Late in the day many of the puffy clouds took on a pinkish cast as the sun got lower in the sky.
On a farm near Greenwich, NY, eleven year old Lenny was enjoying some last minute fun on his four-wheeler. Suddenly the youth began to hear an odd humming noise. Thinking there was a problem with his single rider vehicle, he stopped to see what was wrong. But when Lenny shut off his ATV the humming continued but seemed to be above him.
“I looked up and there it was directly above me, a huge UFO was coming out of a cloud toward me.” Lenny explained. The boy tells us that it took several minutes for the object to leave the cloud.
He describes the UFO as purple, the back of it was round and a long neck was attached to it with a cockpit like structure on the end. The craft had three markings on its side.
Lenny’s eyes got wide as he further described the UFO. “It was enormous; it was longer than our 10 acre field.”
As the huge craft hovered above the field where the youth was standing another remarkable thing happened. “Another smaller purple UFO, a smaller one, came out of the bigger craft.”
He describes the small of the two objects as the size of the family’s Cape-Cod farm house. He also says that this craft was shaped similar to a conventional airplane.
“The smaller craft flew off in a westward direction,” he said.
Shortly afterwards Lenny noted that the Mothership did a dip toward, the ground. Then it brought itself up vertical and started spinning in a 360 degree motion. He saw what he could only describe as a bluish glow around it. As the craft spun faster Lenny could hear an odd noise building up as the spin got faster and faster.
“Suddenly there was another loud noise and the craft shot straight up into the sky and was gone in a matter of a minute.” Lenny said.
Lenny’s dad tells us, “My son was eleven at the time. He was very scared and in tears. In the time since the sighting, he hasn’t changed his story. Every detail, from start to finish, he tells the same regardless how many times you ask him about it. He is a good kid, who would never make this sort of thing up. He thought he was going to die right there in our backfields.”
Graancirkel in zuiden Rusland verbaast dorpsbewoners
Graancirkel in zuiden Rusland verbaast dorpsbewoners
In een dorp in het zuiden van Rusland is een mysterieuze graancirkel verschenen. Sommige bewoners menen dat er bezoek is geweest van buitenaardsen. De formatie heeft een doorsnee van ongeveer 40 meter en is op donderdag opgemerkt in een zonnebloemveld in de regio Krasnodar, meldt nieuwssite Svet Mayakov.
Op zondag werd een video van de graancirkel op het populaire Russische sociale netwerk Vkontakte geplaatst. Te zien is dat de formatie bestaat uit een aantal vierkanten en rechthoeken die middels een bepaald patroon met elkaar verbonden zijn.
Het was niet meteen duidelijk hoe het patroon is ontstaan, hoewel één lokale bewoner aan 9 TV vertelde dat dorpsbewoners in het weiland een ongeïdentificeerd object hadden zien opstijgen. Het object zou het omringende gebied met een lichtbundel hebben verlicht.
Een camera op de boerderij pikte geen ongewone activiteit op. Ook is er niemand in het weiland gezien op het moment dat de formatie moet zijn ontstaan, aldus nieuwssite Svet Mayakov.
Veertig procent van alle Russische graancirkels verschijnt in de regio Krasnodar. Graancirkelenthousiastelingen reisden afgelopen maand nog af naar het gebied om te zoeken naar bewijs van het ongewone fenomeen.
Er zijn echter ook mensen die twijfelen aan het bovennatuurlijke aspect van graancirkels. “Ik zag ten eerste heel veel insecten en hagedissen in het veld,” vertelde Sergei Frolov aan de krant Komsomolskaya Pravda. “Ten tweede waren de stengels gebroken. Normaal gesproken zijn ze gebogen. Ook zijn er op verschillende plaatsen in het veld voetsporen te zien.”
Een recent ontdekte krater met een doorsnede van maar liefst tachtig meter en nog ongekende diepte stelt wetenschappers voor een raadsel. Het mysterieuze 'gat' in de aarde werd door medewerkers van een gasbedrijf met een helikopter gespot boven het Yamal schiereiland in Siberië. Een team van Russische wetenschappers is al onderweg naar het gebied om het bijzondere fenomeen te bestuderen.
De gigantische krater bevindt zich nabij een woud op dertig kilometer van het gasveld Bovanenkovo. Nadat het nieuws over de vondst bekend werd, deden al snel allerlei theorieën over ufo's en aliens de ronde. Onderzoekers tasten voorlopig nog in het duister over de oorsprong van de krater, al zijn ze ervan overtuigd dat er een wetenschappelijke verklaring voor moet zijn. Een team van experten zou vandaag in de regio moeten aankomen om grond- en waterstalen te nemen.
Meteoriet of explosie Onderzoekers sluiten niet uit dat de krater het gevolg is van een inslag van een meteoriet maar achten de kans desalniettemin klein. Een ondergrondse explosie lijkt waarschijnlijker volgens Anna Kurchatova van het Sub-Arctic Scientific Research Centre. Zij vermoedt dat door de opwarming van de aarde, permafrost is beginnen smelten waardoor gas zich ondergronds in de ijs- en zandlaag heeft opgehoopt. Voeg daar nog zout aan toe, 10.000 jaar geleden was dit gebied immers een zee, en je krijgt een explosieve cocktail. "Je kan het effect vergelijken met het ontkurken van een champganefles", stelt ze. Wetende dat zich heel wat gaspijpleidingen in de omgeving bevinden, is dat een heel gevaarlijk gegeven.
Beelden Het is wachten op de resultaten van het Russische onderzoeksteam om definitief uitsluitsel te geven. Hieronder kan u alvast de beelden bestuderen die vanuit een helikopter door Konstantin Nikolaev werden gedraaid.
Nooit heeft de wetenschap dichter gestaan bij het vinden van buitenaards leven. Dankzij de NASA-telescoop Kepler werden al duizenden exoplaneten ontdekt, waarvan een aanzienlijk deel zich in de 'bewoonbare' zone van een zonachtige ster bevindt. Maar de hoop op een ontmoeting met E.T. mag u opbergen, zeiden experten tijdens een paneldiscussie in het NASA-hoofdkwartier in Washington. "Wanneer we buitenaards leven vinden, zal dat wellicht niet in de vorm van intelligente wezens zijn."
Als u de astronomen mag geloven, is buitenaards leven nu echt binnen handbereik. Met de regelmaat van de klok worden nieuwe planeten gevonden, en meer en meer klinkt de hoop dat die mogelijk leven bevatten. Zo ontdekten astronomen van de universiteit van New South Wales recent een 'super-Aarde', Gliese 832c, die amper 16 lichtjaren van ons verwijderd is. Ook rond de ster van Kapteyn zou een planeet cirkelen waar leven mogelijk is en eerder dit jaar deelde de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie op een persconferentie mee dat ze "de meest Aarde-achtige planeet ooit" ontdekt had. Kepler-186f cirkelt rond een dwergster en wel op zo'n afstand dat er mogelijk vloeibaar water aanwezig is.
Al deze vondsten werden mee mogelijk gemaakt door de Keplertelescoop, die gelanceerd werd in 2009. De NASA-telescoop hielp wetenschappers duizenden zogenaamde exoplaneten te ontdekken, planeten buiten ons zonnestelsel. Astronomen weten nu dat rond zowat elke ster in de Melkweg minstens één planeet cirkelt. En één op de vijf planeten die rond een zonachtige ster draaien, zou een Aarde-achtige planeet kunnen zijn in de zogenaamde bewoonbare zone van die ster. Dat is het gebied dat zich net op de juiste afstand van de ster bevindt, waardoor er vloeibaar water kan zijn - en dus ook leven.
James Webb Space Telescope Vanaf 2018 verwacht de NASA nog een grote stap verder te geraken in de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven. Dan lanceert de ruimtevaartorganisatie haar James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), die wetenschappers de mogelijkheid zal bieden gerichter te zoeken naar tekenen van leven in de atmosfeer van exoplaneten.
"We zijn dichtbij het vinden van leven op een andere planeet", zei Sara Seager, astronoom aan de prestigieuze Amerikaanse universiteit MIT in Cambridge, tijdens het panelgesprek. Seager speelde een belangrijke rol in de zoektocht naar een zogenaamde Aarde 2.0. "Maar deze extraterrestrials zullen wellicht niet de vorm van intelligente wezens aannemen. Ik denk dat iedereen wel hoopt dat er buitenaards intelligent leven is; dat maakt deel uit van onze cultuur. Maar we zullen al blij zijn als we om het even wat zien."
"Zelfs als het eerste contact met buitenaards leven een eencellige microbe blijkt te zijn, zou dat al fenomenaal zijn", zei Seager. "Want het zou betekenen dat ook buiten de Aarde leven voorkomt. Als elders in de Melkweg levende microben bestaan, vergroot dat de kans dat er ook ander intelligent leven zou kunnen zijn."
Veel geluk nodig JWST, de 6,5 miljard euro dure opvolger van de iconische Hubble Space Telescope, zal zoeken naar tekenen van leven - aanwijzingen als zuurstof, carbondioxide of water - door het licht te analyseren dat de atmosfeer van de planeten doorlaat. Maar zelfs met de nieuwe telescoop hebben wetenschappers een portie geluk nodig om bewoonde planeten te identificeren. Het licht dat deze buitenaardse werelden afgeven, is immers erg zwak, aldus de experten tijdens de paneldiscussie. Om de zoektocht écht een schop vooruit te helpen, zijn er grotere telescopen nodig.
Ook deze telescopen zullen echter niet in staat zijn vast te stellen of ontdekte levensvormen wezens met hersenen of eencellige microben zijn, aldus Seager. Maar wanneer planeten gevonden worden die tekenen van leven vertonen, kunnen andere telescopen ingezet worden om op die specifieke planeten te zoeken naar buitenaardse intelligentie. Het SETI Institute (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) in Californië zoekt nu al naar mogelijke radiogolven of andere signalen die kunnen wijzen op een beschaving op exoplaneten die gevonden zijn door Kepler.
Een ultieme doelstelling is sondes of zelfs bemande ruimtetuigen te sturen naar planeten die tekenen van leven vertonen. Maar met de beperkingen van de huidige rakettechnologie, zou het veel langer dan een mensenleven duren om tot daar te geraken.
The head of NASA himself, Charles Bolden (a former shuttle pilot and US Marine general) ranged himself firmly alongside his top boffins in the aliens-are-surely-out-there camp.
A group of top NASA scientists told the space agency’s chief yesterday that the forthcoming generation of space telescopes are likely to discover habitable Earth-like worlds and probably alien life – perhaps within 20 years.
“Imagine the moment when the world wakes up and the human race realizes that its long loneliness in time and space may be over – the possibility we’re no longer alone in the universe.”
“I think in the next 20 years we will find out we are not alone in the universe,” added NASA astronomer Kevin Hand.

I was working outside just after my lunch break. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed what looked to be a red-copper colored object in sky to my left. I stood up straight and really focused on the object. It appeared to have lights and a surface that reflected light off as metal does. It was also black at times as well. It appeared to hover for a while and very slowly travel on a path that changed slightly as it progressed through the sky. I have to stress one thing. The first time I noticed this thing, it was directly over the airport. My company is building condos and houses beside our cities airport and it is closed airspace. Nothing public or private can fly without authorization. Which leads to why I was curious as to what this slow moving completely silent object was. At first I thought it to be a hot air balloon but I asked myself, “why would it be and who allowed it to fly directly over the airport and the landing strips?” That would create a chance of an airplane crashing into it or the ground. It took about 3 hours to get almost right over my head. As it was moving around and stopping during these hours, I began to notice it looked more like a metal upside down bell rather than an air balloon made from fabric. I really don’t claim to know what it is because I have never seen anything like it before.
There was what looked like a bright light on it as well. It never got any dimmer or changed color, but just stayed constant. It was completely silent as it traveled through the sky. I stopped randomly between working and snapped a series of maybe 7 pictures. I tried the video recorder, but the object simply disappeared from sight. It would not show up on video, but clear as day in pictures. The object turned slightly as it moved so the pics show different details and angles. But you guys tell me what this is. I couldn’t find any records of aerial pictures of city nor reports of anything happening at airport. When the object just simply disappeared and I could not see it anywhere in sky I thought this to be extremely weird. Seeing as it had taken so long to get to my location and I could see it anywhere in the horizon, it’s like it never happened really. The only proof is the pictures. After the object was gone, 2 army jets made multiple passes over the area. They returned then flew off again out of site only to return and do this again. I’m at a loss as to what I saw and am not discounting anything; as long as it’s realistic and logical.
I was working outside just after my lunch break. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed what looked to be a red-copper colored object in sky to my left. I stood up straight and really focused on the object. It appeared to have lights and a surface that reflected light off as metal does. It was also black at times as well. It appeared to hover for a while and very slowly travel on a path that changed slightly as it progressed through the sky. I have to stress one thing. The first time I noticed this thing, it was directly over the airport. My company is building condos and houses beside our cities airport and it is closed airspace. Nothing public or private can fly without authorization. Which leads to why I was curious as to what this slow moving completely silent object was. At first I thought it to be a hot air balloon but I asked myself, “why would it be and who allowed it to fly directly over the airport and the landing strips?” That would create a chance of an airplane crashing into it or the ground. It took about 3 hours to get almost right over my head. As it was moving around and stopping during these hours, I began to notice it looked more like a metal upside down bell rather than an air balloon made from fabric. I really don’t claim to know what it is because I have never seen anything like it before. There was what looked like a bright light on it as well. It never got any dimmer or changed color, but just stayed constant. It was completely silent as it traveled through the sky. Is realistic and logical.µ

If you look closely at this old stereoscopic image, you can see a dark, cigar-shaped object that seems to be flying in the clouds over Mount Washington.
Wherever the image might have been over the years, it showed up on eBay one day in 2002. It was bought for $385, and soon after cropped to show a close-up of the cigar-shaped object and touted as “the oldest known UFO photo.” The owner, Samuel M. Sherman, said the photo would be submitted to scientists for detailed analysis, and the results made available to the public.
The photo hit the Internet like lightning, crackling from one UFO site to the next. Ryan Mullahy, a UFO writer, researcher and founder of the website NH UFO Research, saw it but wasn’t convinced: “As fascinated as I was by the photo, I didn’t think it was a UFO.” Mullahy set out to determine whether it was.
He says he does “real, classic research” on UFO reports to establish their authenticity so people can take the incidents seriously: “I don’t have a bias to prove a case true or not. I simply seek out information and put out what I find.”
When he started his research on the “oldest known UFO photo,” the only image available was a heavily cropped, low-resolution version on the Internet.
After six years of off-and-on digging, he found an important clue: a 2003 Weirs Times newspaper article unearthed by Kathy Brisendine, another UFO researcher. The article identified the photographers of the stereoscopic image as Amos Clough and Howard Kimball. The image had been taken in the winter of 1870-71 during a meteorological expedition, which he would learn later included a study of frost architecture.
Mullahy googled the expedition and discovered that the New York Public Library had a copy of the original high-resolution, uncropped photo (see above) in its digital library, along with a number of photos from the same set. After examining them closely, he decided his initial reaction was right: “The object in the photo is not in the cloud, but on the surface of the mountain itself. In the original photo, there is a clear distinction between the surface of the mountain and the sky above the mountain range. The brown object is lying on, or suspended in, the snow on the mountaintop.” He says it could be a wooden ruler used to measure the snow or to show scale, but definitely is not a UFO.
“I don’t claim to have cracked the case myself,” Mullahy says. “Others found little pieces of the puzzle too.” But, because he takes his UFOs seriously, “I’m happy to get rid of a case that clearly was not credible so we can provide a clear picture of what the actual history is.” – NH Magazine
The doomed Costa Concordia, once a luxurious cruise-ship, sank after hitting rocks at the beginning of 2012, which tragically left 32 people dead.
The ship, which was double the size of the Titanic, was hauled up from its watery grave yesterday, reports News.com.au, and for the first time, the world saw the true extent of the damage.
But it wasn’t the damage that the world was looking at yesterday, after a News.com.au reader spotted something eerie lurking in the background of one of the photos posted to the website yesterday.
The original photo also shows a single light that had managed to stay on, and an armchair that looks pretty much undamaged, which is pretty creepy.
The Concordia’s Italian captain is being tried in Tuscany for manslaughter, causing the shipwreck and abandoning ship before all were evacuated.

David Letterman has been on the air for decades, but it seems like even as his days on a nightly talk show are coming to an end, there are still things to learn about him. For instance, did you know he believes in spirits?
During a discussion with Emma Stone, who plays a spiritualist in Woody Allen’s latest film, “Magic In the Moonlight,” Letterman revealed that he believes a woman who was once a friend of the show before she died still contacts him from time to time.
“It’s very subtle, but the corridor of interest is so narrow that it could only be her,” Letterman told Stone, without revealing the identity of who he was talking about.
“She doesn’t say anything to me,” Letterman elaborated. “Things come to my head.”
Earlier in the discussion, Stone had discussed how she believed her dead grandfather was responsible for sending her quarters, without revealing the connection between her grandfather and quarters. But when it came to Letterman’s own metaphysical experiences, Stone seemed to struggle to grasp what Letterman was saying.
“If you go much farther in this, unless you’re full-blown nuts, it will become a mockery,” Letterman said.
“I’m full-blown nuts, Dave,” Stone responded.
Letterman also explained to Stone that a light in the Ed Sullivan Theatre popped, which his crew took as a sign that Letterman’s unnamed friend was making her presence known.

Villagers call for demolition of cursed home after five deaths
Locals in the village of Lixnaw, County Kerry, are seeking the demolition of a cottage they believe to be cursed. At least five tragic deaths are associated with the property, including the violent murder of a woman in 2013.
Lixnaw’s parish priest said locals believe there is a “máchail” (defect or harm) or “mí-ádh” (bad luck) associated with the council-owned cottage on the edge of Ballynageragh bog. The local’s fears were brought to light at the first meeting of the Listowel Electoral Area meeting.
Five of the cottage’s residents have been the victims of tragic, accidental or violent deaths. Just last year, on November 27, Susan Dunne (62) was murdered in the house. Her autistic son, Patrick (20) is to stand trial for her murder, at the Central Criminal Court, on April 13.
Locals also say a man who lived in the cottage was stabbed in Wales, another resident died in a road accident, and in the past 20 years there have been three tragic deaths at the cottage, involving different families.
Sinn Fein Councillor Robert Beasley told the Irish Examiner that no one will ever live there again and said locals are concerned that the council will try to house another family in the house.
The council has confirmed that they are considering demolishing the cottage, however the recently deceased Dunne’s personal effects remain in the house. They are liaising with her family and have yet to make a decision about a refurbishment or demolition. – Irish Central
UFO have been sighted by boys group in forest in Argentina. Home video of a boys watching and a UFO take off in the trees, very scary. It’s new, but the question is, is it really real? The local news has even got involved and it seems they have become the believers themselves in these UFO flying over Argentina. The video shows an unidentified object what appears to be a light plane – then landing on top of it – taking off and both the unidentified object and the plane move quickly up into the air and out of frame. Video here:

Over at the Department of Defense’s website you can find a document that has been declassified via the Freedom of Information Act on the subject of Project Pandora (which, in part, was focused on how microwaves can affect the mind and nervous-system).
It’s a fascinating file that dates back to the 1960s.
It’s a lengthy file, too: it runs to 469 pages.
But, here’s the weird thing.
If you scroll down to page 449, you’ll see that it contains a copy of the controversial “MJ12/Eisenhower Briefing Document” on the Roswell affair of 1947!
Of course, as most people within Ufology know, the document is one that has been the subject of much debate regarding its authenticity or otherwise.
Indeed, the copy of the EBD in the Pandora file has a hand-written note on it stating that, “This cannot be authenticated as an official DoD document.
Well, that’s fair enough, and something that most people within Ufology would agree with – it has not been authenticated.
But, here’s the issue: what is a copy of the EBD doing in a DoD file on Project Pandora…?
