Bizarre Visitation By Reptilians Encounter In Canada
Bizarre Visitation By Reptilians Encounter In Canada
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Date: January 1999
Time: late night
Eva Trent who lived in a small apartment at the time had retired to her bed at the usual hour. Having fallen asleep she awoke to a “buzzing sound”. Opening her eyes she was horrified to find two strange creatures standing on either side of her bed. The “entity” to her right was about 7-8 feet tall, weighed around 300 pounds, had apparently no clothes on and seemed to have either a crocodile or snake type skin covering. The creature to her left was identical in appearance but smaller in height and weight. They seemed to be communicating in a chirping manner. Each of the visitor’s eyes glowed. Eva quickly discovered that she was unable to move. As she stared in terror at the two intruders she found that either one or both were giving her instructions telepathically. The nature of this was seemingly for her to create mentally visual scenes of various kinds and then “they” proceeded to distort that particular pleasant scene in a perverse manner. (i.e.) a romantic interlude. Much later she concluded that the intent was to not only observe her emotional reaction, but also possibly feed off the energy that was produced. After an unknown period of time she became so upset with this ongoing deliberate mind manipulation that she began to mentally resist. Not only did she pray in an earnest fashion, but began to mentally cover herself from head to toe in white light. At this point she detected that the two “visitors” were confused by this reaction (or action). A short time later she fell back to sleep. When she awoke the following day it was in a state of physical exhaustion and a confused mind that was not only attempting to put the night events in some sort of order, but alternately accepting and rejecting what she believed to have been a “real” event. However, the clincher was yet to come. Located about six feet from her bed was an audio cassette storage rack. It stands about three feet high, is four-sided and felt lined. Eva’s surprise when later that day she went to extract a music tape to play, she discovered five or her precious tapes (inside the plastic cases) were grossly distorted. Of the five, three were badly buckled, as if extreme heat had been applied. On closer examination some interesting contradictions emerge. None of the cassette tapes display any type of unusual odor that one would reasonably expect under such circumstances. Stranger still, despite the intense heat required to create this warping effect, the actual tape (sound) filament showed no sign of having been melted. The felt storage unit had no apparent evidence of heat being applied in close proximity.

Astronomen zijn met het röntgenobservatorium Chandra op een mysterie gestuit. “Ik kon mijn ogen niet geloven,” zei Esra Bulbul van het Harvard Center for Astrophysics. “Wat we hebben ontdekt kan niet worden verklaard door de bekende natuurkunde.”
Samen met haar collega’s bestudeert Bulbul de Perseus-cluster, een groep sterrenstelsels op ongeveer 250 miljoen lichtjaar van de aarde. Deze cluster, één van de grootste objecten in het universum, bevindt zich in een enorme ‘atmosfeer’ van superheet plasma.
“De atmosfeer van de cluster zit vol ionen,” legt Bulbul uit. “Elk van deze ionen produceert een ‘lijn’ in het röntgenspectrum.” In 2012 verscheen er plotseling een lijn op een plek waar geen lijn zou moeten zijn. Voor Bulbul was dat een grote verrassing.
Op sommige golflengtes wordt meer röntgenstraling uitgezonden dan op andere. Uit de posities van zulke spectraallijnen kan de samenstelling van het gas worden afgeleid. De spectraallijn in de röntgenmetingen van de Perseus-cluster kan niet met een bekend element in verband gebracht worden.
Dezelfde spectrale ‘vingerafdruk’ is gevonden door de röntgenspectra van 73 andere clusters van sterrenstelsels samen te voegen. Een week na de ontdekking stuitte een team onder leiding van Alexei Bojarski van de Universiteit Leiden op dezelfde spectraallijn in het Andromedastelsel. Bojarski ontdekte de lijn ook aan de rand van de Perseus-cluster.
Bulbul vermoedt dat de extra röntgenstraling afkomstig zou kunnen zijn van het verval van zogeheten steriele neutrino’s, elementaire deeltjes die geen lading en vrijwel geen massa hebben en alleen gevoelig zijn voor de zwakke kernkracht en de zwaartekracht. De deeltjes zijn al eens voorgesteld als kandidaat voor de mysterieuze donkere materie in het heelal.
De lijn kan ook zijn veroorzaakt door ‘moduli donkere materie’, die het gevolg is van het opkrullen van extra dimensies in het heelal. Om het mysterie te kunnen oplossen is wellicht een geheel nieuw soort observatorium nodig. In 2015 wil het Japanse ruimteagentschap een geavanceerde röntgentelescoop lanceren, die de mysterieuze lijn met grote precisie moet kunnen meten.
Location; Near Gribanovskiy, Voronezh region, Russia Date: June 15 or 16 1975
Time: 01:50 a.m.
On a highway near this city Senior Air Force Lieutenant Vladimir G. Paltsev spotted a strange object that looked like a dark mass with a light on top in a clearing within a wooded area about 700-800 meters from the roadway. He knew this part of the road well and realized that there were no buildings in that area. He stopped his vehicle and approached the object on foot in order to i…nvestigate. At about 80-100 meters away he realized that the object was shaped like an inverted saucer with a bulging transparent dome on top, which was emitting light. At about 50 meters from the object Paltsev was able to distinguish a human-like figure standing inside the transparent cupola. The figure placed a palm on the internal dome of the craft and Paltsev was able to see that it appeared to be a human hand with five fingers. He could also see another humanoid entity standing behind the first one. Closer to the object he was able to see a third entity apparently sitting on a small seat inside the dome. When Paltsev walked to about 25-30 meters from the object he noticed that the surface of the craft appeared to be “fluttering” as if emitting waves of hot air. At this point Paltsev was struck with what felt to be a dense wall of hot air. He tried to move to the right, but found himself lying on the ground and apparently lost consciousness. When he came to he again attempted to approach the object but was unable to move any further at about 25 meters from the craft as an invisible barrier prevented him from doing so. He then sat at the edge of the road and watched the object rise up in complete silence and hover at about 3 meters from the ground. The object then rose to an altitude of about 25 meters and crossed the road to the opposite side. The witness followed the object’s movement intently and walked towards the highway where he found what appeared to be a yellow of spot of an oily substance on the ground. At this point the UFO ascended into the and soon disappeared from sight gaining speed and altitude very quickly. A strong rush of air threw Paltsev backwards. A motorcyclist soon appeared and Paltsev stopped him and this man also saw the strange yellow oily spot on the ground. However later upon returning to the scene the spot had already vanished. Paltsev was also astounded to realize that more than an hour had passed since he first spotted the object; he had only perceived a period of 15 minutes passing. Reportedly soon after the incident he suffered from frequent nightmares where he saw himself onboard a UFO.

In a previous UFO Digest column I examined the reasons behind the apparent difficulty that ufology has in attracting young people, and offered a few suggestions. I finished by pointing out that many of the ‘big names’ in the field (the ones most frequently seen on TV and the ones most often invited to speak at conferences) are white men in suits, usually middle-aged, if not considerably older. Ufology is hardly the only field where this is the case, but to see such an unrepresentative group of people may put off young people and deter them from attending conferences or otherwise getting involved in ufology.

UFO CASES REPORTED AT NEW JERSEY MUFON SYMPOSIUMBy Roger Marsh.
More than 400 people attended each of the three days of the 2014 MUFON Symposium in Cherry Hill, NJ, this past week – which caused some to report past UFO cases. The witness in a 1999 Lee County, Alabama, case finally came forward with his account after attending the 2014 MUFON Symposium. More…
STRANGE NEW HUMANOID PRESENCE IN ARGENTINAby Scott Corrales.
Once more we find ourselves with direct information regarding strange presences during the month of May 2014 on the shores of Necochea, Argentina. It is here that we have found four (4) witnesses who speak of seeing strange lights at night on the Necochea’s very shoreline, its beach, as well as sightings of a strange humanoid-type creature. These events http://ufodigest.com/article/humanoid-0723 on Sunday, 18 May and Tuesday, 20 May at night. More Also read: UFO PHOTOGRAPHED OVER BELEN ESOCOBAR, ARGENTINA
LONG LEGACY OF MILITARY INTELLIGENCE AND FLYING SAUCERSby Doc Vega.
In 1952 shortly after a spectacular series of confrontations between US Air Force Jet interceptors and unidentified radar targets over White House air space, US Army General John Samford, head of US Army Intelligence fielded questions by the US press corps along with Air Force General Roger Ramey. In a key point made by General Samford he stated that no known project on earth was responsible for the appearance of the UFO phenomenon. He also acknowledged that a certain number of sightings were inexplicable through the course of analysis by military investigators. You might recall General Roger Ramey who accompanied Samford had previously derailed the Roswell crash by labeling it as a weather balloon. More…
A BIG PURPLE MOTHERSHIP UFO – 2012by Cheryl Costa.
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. More...
MAN FIGHTS OFF ALIEN ATTACK ALL NIGHTby Jeff Krause.
This week I’m writing about one of my all-time favorite cases, and it comes from the very heart of California. The case was originally investigated by Paul Cerney of NICAP back in 1965, and has been looked at by many notable scientists and ufologists since then. It was even the subject of an episode of NBC’s “Project U.F.O.” that aired on May 7, 1978. Although the episode disregarded all the facts, it still showed that there was more interest in the subject than was let on. Due to the main participants fear of losing his job at Aerojet Corporation in Sacramento, he remained anonymous until only recently, so the story faded to obscurity until brought to light recently by authors, researchers and MUFON Field Investigators, Noe Torres and Ruben Uriarte.

PROJECT HORIZON DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS MAY BE LINKED TO THE “FORBIDDEN ZONES” ON THE MOON!by Carolyn Shield.
I asked an insider that worked at NASA during the Apollo missions were there “forbidden zones” on the moon. He admitted that there were. The insider said. Always remember NASA worked with the military.” The declassification of the report of Project Horizon reveals the studies by the military in using the moon for observation of Earth communications. They were going to spy on us. Another part of Project Horizon was “weaponizing space” using the moon to launch missiles at Earth. More.
BEWARE THE WOMEN IN BLACKby Nick Redfern.
Within the world of UFO research, the Men in Black are just about as legendary as they are feared. These pale-faced, ghoulish entities have for decades terrorized into silence both witnesses to, and researchers of, UFO encounters. Theories for who, or what, the MIB might be are many. They include: extraterrestrials, government agents, demonic creatures, time-travelers from the future, and inter-dimensional beings from realms that co-exist with ours. More….

Een krachtige zonnestorm heeft de Aarde twee jaar geleden maar net gemist. Hij zou alle elektrische circuits kunnen verstoord hebben en 'de hedendaagse beschaving naar de 18e eeuw kunnen teruggeslingerd hebben'. Dat meldt het Amerikaans ruimtevaartagentschap Nasa.
De zonnestorm vond plaats op 23 juli 2012. Het ging om de krachtigste storm in 150 jaar, aldus een mededeling op de site van de Nasa. 'Indien de uitbarsting een week eerder had plaatsgevonden, dan zou de Aarde zich op de eerste rij hebben bevonden', zegt Daniel Baker van de universiteit van Colorado. De satelliet STEREO-A, die zonnestormen volgt, kon erg precies het verloop van de storm waarnemen. Daardoor konden wetenschappers besluiten dat de storm van 2012 de hevigste was sinds 1859.
De Nationale Academie voor Wetenschappen schatte dat de impact van een zonnestorm met de kracht van die uit 1859, indien hij de Aarde zou raken, de wereldeconomie 2.000 miljard dollar zou kosten en enorme schade zou veroorzaken. Zonnestormen zouden immers de elektronische netwerken kunnen verstoren en telecommunicatie, internet, luchttransport of eender welk systeem dat op elektriciteit steunt, kunnen onderbreken.
The chupacabra or chupacabras is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas, with the first sightings reported in Puerto Rico. The name comes from the animal’s reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. It is purportedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail.
4. The Flatwoods Monster
The Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Braxton County Monster or the Phantom of Flatwoods, is an alleged unidentified extraterrestrial or cryptid reported to have been sighted in the town of Flatwoods in Braxton County, West Virginia, United States on September 12, 1952. Stories of the creature are an example of a purported close encounter of the third kind.
3. The Dover Demon
The Dover Demon is a creature reportedly sighted in the town of Dover, Massachusetts on April 21 and April 22, 1977.
2. The Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter
The Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter, also known as the Hopkinsville Goblins Case, and to a lesser extent the Kelly Green Men Case, is the name given to a series of connected incidents of alleged close encounters with supposed extraterrestrial beings. These were reported in the fall of 1955, the most famous and well-publicized of which centered around a rural farmhouse at the time belonging to the Sutton family, which was located between the hamlet of Kelly and the small city of Hopkinsville, both in Christian County, Kentucky, United States. It is from these main incidents that the entire case takes its name.
1. Mothman
Mothman is a legendary moth-like creature reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia from 15 November 1966 to 15 December 1967. The first newspaper report was published in the Point Pleasant Register dated 16 November 1966, titled “Couples See Man-Sized Bird…Creature…Something”.
UFO mania: Alien Base Discovered In NASA Moon Photo on the far side of the moon?
UFO mania: Alien Base Discovered In NASA Moon Photo on the far side of the moon?
A photo from the online archive of the Apollo 11 mission reveals what appears to be a base on the far side of the moon.
The object appears to be on the moon’s surface and is well illuminated. It is symmetrical with a long shaft separated at each end by a small sphere with another in the center. The spheres appear to be living quarters with connecting corridors.
The photo, AS11-41-6155, (below image) is significant since whistleblowers have claimed that NASA regularly scrubs or destroys photos with any evidence of alien life or artificial structures.
Karl Wolf, an Air Force sergeant who was assigned to the National Security Agency, said that mysterious structures were discovered on the far side of the moon when the United States was mapping its surface before the 1969 lunar landing. Those photos too were culled out of the public record.
Dr Ken Johnston who was a manager of NASA’s Data and Photo Control Department. Johnston claims that he also witnessed moon photos showing artificial structures and was asked to destroy the photos. He refused and was fired by NASA.
Des rumeurs au sujet d’un crash d’ovni contenant des corps étrangers ont longtemps été associées au site de l’US Air Force de Wright-Patterson, depuis l'incident de Roswell en 1947.
De nouvelles données ont été ajoutées à ce sujet dans le rapport 58327 du MUFON sur la base de déclarations de témoin et intermédiaire.
Le rapport a été déposé par le petit-fils du témoin féminin qui a reçu l'information de première main au sujet des révélations de 1960 au sujet de Roswell. Ses grands-parents vivaient à Dayton, dans l’Ohio, pendant de nombreuses années, avant 1964.
Le témoin a dit en 1960 que les histoires rellatives au supposé crash d'ovni qui s'est écrasé de Roswell étaient vraies. Sur la photo: Wilbur Wright Field et Fairfield Air Depot, c. . 1920 (Crédit: Wikimedia Commons)
" Un ami proche a pris sa retraite après avoir servi sur la base de l’US Air Force de Wright Patterson," a déclaré la grand-mère à son petit-fils, comme l’indique le rapport 58327 du MUFON. Il rapporte : " C’était un officier de haut rang. Ma grand-mère, très spirituelle, honnête et franche, lui a demandé s'il était vrai qu’un vaisseau extraterrestre et éventuellement des corps étrangers étaient stockés sur la base. " Le petit-fils indique n’avoir jamais rencontré l’officier en question.
Il raconte que sa grand-mère n’oubliera jamais la manière dont l’homme a répondu à cette question. L’intermédiaire (le petit-fils) précise : "Il a dit à ma grand-mère, « Si le public savait ce qui s’était passé sur la base lors de l'incident de Roswell, il y aurait une panique générale parmi le public. » " La femme n'a pas posé plus de questions.

Mensen hebben al eeuwenlang contact met buitenaardse wezens, die zich onopgemerkt onder ons begeven. Dat zegt oud-hoogleraar David M. Jacobs van de Temple-universiteit in Philadelphia.
Jacobs, die wetenschappelijk onderzoek doet naar buitenaardse ontvoeringen, werkt momenteel aan zijn vijfde boek, getiteld ‘The New People’. Hij werkte 36 jaar als professor aan de Temple-universiteit en ging in 2011 met pensioen.
De schrijver heeft inmiddels 150 mensen geïnterviewd die naar eigen zeggen zijn ontvoerd door buitenaardsen. De herinneringen aan de kosmische ontvoeringen komen bovendrijven tijdens ontspanningssessies. Jacobs verwijst naar peilingen waaruit blijkt dat meer dan een miljoen Amerikanen zijn ontvoerd door buitenaardsen.
Hij geeft toe dat bewijs voor buitenaards leven zwak is: vaak gaat het om vage foto’s of verzonnen verhalen. Toch stelt Jacbos dat er bewijs is. Mensen rapporteren onafhankelijk van elkaar dat ze contact hebben gehad met mens- of insectachtige wezens die mensen nodig hebben om zich voort te kunnen planten.
David M. Jacobs in zijn huis in Wyndmoor (Andrew Thayer)
Mensen zijn fysiek afwezig op het moment dat ze worden ontvoerd, aldus Jacobs. Sommige gezinnen hebben zelfs gezien hoe geliefden verdwenen, voegde hij toe. Ontvoerden worden meestal in groepen meegenomen; vreemden die elkaar op aarde nog nooit hebben ontmoet herkennen elkaar van hun ervaringen in de ruimte.
Mensen keren terug met vreemde tekens, verwondingen of littekens, waaronder littekenweefsel dat van de ene op de andere dag is ontstaan, weet Jacobs, “een biologische onmogelijkheid die ik met eigen ogen heb gezien.”
Jarenlang sprak Jacobs niet in het openbaar over buitenaardse ontvoeringen. Een financier van de universiteit dreigde zich zelfs terug te trekken als Jacbos niet zou stoppen met lesgeven over UFO’s. Hij stopte niet en liep daarmee enkele promoties mis.
Michael Shermer van het tijdschrift Skeptic zei dat Jacobs ‘spreekt als een academicus’, maar tegelijkertijd ‘cirkelredeneringen gebruikt’. William Hartmann van het Planetary Science Institute in Arizona zei: “Op de website van dr. Jacbos is te lezen dat herinneringen aan buitenaardse ontvoeringen afkomstig zijn van hypnose, maar volgens mij hecht de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap weinig waarde aan hypnose.”
Jacobs heeft zelf nog nooit een UFO gezien en ook is hij nog nooit ontvoerd. “Ik ben nog nooit in Japan geweest, maar dat betekent niet dat Japan niet bestaat,” zei hij.
UFO sighting over Swansea, South Wales on 21st July 2014
FO sighting over Swansea, South Wales on 21st July 2014
New interesting UFO sightings photo recorded over Swansea, South Wales on 21st July 2014.
Witness said: It was very hot in my bedroom so I opened the window and noticed a strange, stationary object hovering above Swansea. The object made no noise and my first notion was perhaps it was an exceptionally large bird of prey however the object remained stationary for at least five minutes. I thought that it was strange and it seemed to have something hanging below it so I grabbed my phone and I took several pictures of it. The whole time the object made no movement and no sound. I must have watched for seven minutes in total.
An unmanned Russian Soyuz-U rocket successfully launched this evening, July 23rd 2014 at 21:44 UTC, from Baikonur in Kazakhstan carrying the Progress M-24M resupply spacecraft. This video starts 2:30 minutes after the take off of the rocket. Short time after the rocket stages have been separated, can be seen on the right side the first unidentified flying object and two more to follow. What’s this? Aircraft? Satellite? Star? UFOs?
Tales of crashed UFO parts and alien bodies have been told about Wright-Patterson Air Force Base since the 1949 Roswell incident and now include a secondhand report filed today as Case 58327 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was told in 1960 that the stories of crashed UFO parts from Roswell were true. Pictured: Wilbur Wright Field and Fairfield Air Depot, c. 1920. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

The report was filed by the grandchild of the woman who received the information firsthand in about 1960 who explains that his grandparents lived in Dayton, Ohio, for many years prior to 1964.
“A close friend retired from Wright Patterson Air Force Base,” the reporting witness stated. “He was high ranking. My grandmother, who was the most witty, honest and candid person I’ve ever met asked him if it were true about the alien craft and possibly the alien bodies being stored at the base.”
The witness stated that he will never forget how the man responded as told to him by his grandmother.
“He said, ‘If the public knew what was at the base from the Roswell incident, there would be a general panic amongst the public.’”
The woman did not ask any more questions.

Ohio MUFON is investigating. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base east of Dayton, Ohio, in Greene and Montgomery counties. It includes both Wright and Patterson Fields, which were originally Wilbur Wright Field and Fairfield Aviation General Supply Depot. Patterson Field is located approximately 10 miles northeast of Dayton; Wright Field is located approximately 5 miles northeast of Dayton. Wright-Patterson AFB is the largest base of the United States Air Force.
Out of the many incredible artefacts that have been recovered from sites in Iraq where flourishing Sumerian cities once stood, few have been more intriguing that the Sumerian King List, an ancient manuscript originally recorded in the Sumerian language, listing kings of Sumer (ancient southern Iraq) from Sumerian and neighbouring dynasties, their supposed reign lengths, and the locations of “official” kingship.
What makes this artefact so unique is the fact that the list blends apparently mythical pre-dynastic rulers with historical rulers who are known to have existed. The first fragment of this rare and unique text, a 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablet, was found in the early 1900s by German-American scholar Hermann Hilprecht at the site of ancient Nippur and published in 1906.
Since Hilprecht’s discovery, at least 18 other exemplars of the king’s list have been found, most of them dating from the second half of the Isin dynasty (c. 2017-1794 BCE.). No two of these documents are identical.
Deep in north central New Mexico is the sleepy little town of Dulce. Dulce is located on the Archuleta Mesa on the Colorado – New Mexico Border. It is home to about 3000 residents and is the capitol of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. For as small and as insignificant as this remote location may sound, it became the center of controversy in the early 1980′s. Physicist and inventor,
Paul Bennewitz claimed he had discovered an underground base occupied by extraterrestrials near Dulce. His story quickly spread through the UFO community. Allegations that surround the base include human abductions (“alien abductions”) by these extraterrestrial beings. http://humansarefree.com/2014/01/the-alien-agenda-and-their-underground.html
Jacques Vallée has held many titles over the years; astronomer, computer scientist, venture capitalist, author, and more. He has researched UFOs for decades and has written several books on the topic. The lead character on the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind was inspired by Vallée. We recently received this interview from Nagib Kary who runs the French UFO website Ovnis-Direct.com. Kary and several associates asked questions of Vallée in February and recently translated the interview into English. Kary has graciously asked Open Minds to re-post their insightful interview.

Fabrice is a Swiss ufologist, writer, psychologist by training who deals especially with the relation between ufos and ecology and the psychological impact of apparitions on witnesses.
Q1: How do you see ufology and ufological activity in 15-20 years ? What will fundamentally change — or won’t ?
We shouldn’t be surprised if we see an increase in these manifestations as humanity goes on to a new step of systematic exploration of space. But the question should be addressed to the phenomenon itself: It has shown that it was diverse, adaptable and unpredictable. It also showed that it was fundamentally interested in our technological progress and our technical prototypes.
Q2: Who is the thinker, the intellectual or the researcher you admire the most and why?
Maybe you have noticed it while reading Science Interdite: I found a great source of inspiration in Aimé Michel, a remarkable spirit by the strength of his vision and the deep humanity of his intellect. The fact that such a thinker has been ignored and even despised by the intellectual elite in France is not a compliment to our country. However, the limited number of people who have known him have had a great privilege. According to Aimé, Ufos were only a mystery among others. He was a universal thinker.
Q3: What is the current scientific discipline which would be able to benefit ufology and its achievement?
I can think of two disciplines whose application is urgent: computer science of course, with data-mining , and medicine which has never been applied to a real study of long term effects on witnesses of close encounters. Beyond this, of course, physics must take the subject as an “existence theorem” to understand physical reality in a broader sense.
Aimé Michel
Q4: How are consciousness and Ufos related? What role does consciousness play in Ufo manifestations?
We have seen ufos as classical spaceships for a long time, in accordance with science fiction in the forties and fifties. This interpretation persists, especially in France where recent breakthrough of parapsychology are not well known and where psychic effects reported by witnesses are considered either as evidences of mental weakness or as electromagnetic side effects. Yet, as documentation improves, we find out that the physical aspects of the phenomenon are as negotiable as its psychic effects: it is as if it took control of a given area, including witnesses’ perceptions. It is that aspect that discouraged Aimé Michel.
Q5: Do governments (and especially the USA) hide information about Ufos on the public (according to you and your experience)?
There are two levels to that question: (1) governments (and not only the USA) keep some information they think most sensitive, especially reports which come from the military. It seems that since 1947 this policy has been viewed as legitimate, in the interest of populations and in the hope of discovering technological breakthroughs. (2) The most difficult question is to know if breakthroughs have actually taken place. To my mind, the phenomenon has probably resisted all analysis, classified or not. The issue of opening all the files is going to arise again but it’s not as simple to understand the Ufo phenomenon as to dismantle a MIG or to secretly copy the space shuttle.
Q6: What advice would you give to the ufology community?
I don’t think I have personal advice to give. It is obvious that we won’t make real progress in an environment of petty squabbling. It would be best to avoid accusations that discourage researchers from working together. The phenomenon is accessible at a local level, so the possibility of field study and fast exchange of data is wide open. That would be more useful than speculating on inaccessible, hypothetical secrets in the drawers of governments.
Q7: What are your biggest regrets in your ufological career?
I sometimes wonder whether things would have taken a different course if I had accompanied Allen Hynek to Detroit during the swamp gas case. It was the biggest opportunity to pose the question of the reality of the phenomenon before the American general public and the scientific community. Together with Bill Powers’ advice, we could have presented a realistic and urgent vision of the issue which would have been understood by the media.
A lot of water has passed under the bridge, as the Americans would say. If I look back, it is obvious that professionally speaking, I wasted my time when I came back in France in late 1967. Should I regret it? I wouldn’t have written Passport to Magonia anywhere else than in Paris. Moreover, I wouldn’t have experienced May ’68 on the spot!
Questions about the book Science Interdite, Vol 2 by Ovnis-Direct :P389, answer of the author to Aimé Michel on the origin of Ufos (“Belmont Friday, June 25th 1976”):
Public opinion only has two possible positions toward Ufos: if you manage to take the idea away from people’s mind that there are hallucinations, these same minds are going to draw the conclusion that it is purely and simply about E.T.
Don’t you see that a technology which can create local deformation of space might not be limited to produce Ufos only, but any kinds of other phenomena which would seem miraculous?
Q1: Apart from Ufos, could you tell us what phenomena result from such super technology?
These phenomena are in the literature: reports of poltergeist are documented in the book by captain of gendarmerie Tizané, as well as the famous deformations of metal by psychic means reported by Soviets researchers or by Stanford Research Institute (or, in France, by the material expert Crussard).
Nonlocality allows phenomena described by the French physicist Yves Rocard in his experiments at Ecole Normale Supérieure, as the relativist Olivier Costa de Beauregard had emphasized. It is a pity that this field has been ignored for ideological reasons. Maybe it was marginal in the 70s but it comes back at the center of multiple broad issues.
P406, Aleister Crowley on the Society for psychical research:
All their work brings evidence that there are powers influencing humans. We have always known them: The universe is full of dark and subtle manifestations of energy. But nobody before me has ever managed to prove the outer intelligence to humankind whereas my compilation has. But it is impossible to doubt that there is someone there, someone who is able to organize events the same way Napoléon conceived his battle plans, with an extent of unthinkable powers through which he can control the actions of the people he has chosen to play a role in the implementation of his purposes.
Aleister Crowley
Q2: The publications made by people who belong to the Esoteric Hermetic Movement like Aleister Crowley, Facius Cardan, John Dee and others you name. Do they influence in any way your research leading to the hypothesis of the control system?
Definitely: before the development of science as we know it, many lonely researchers or members of small groups asked the same questions as we did. Facius Cardan’s father was a great mathematician, John Dee was a scholar who was instrumental to the science of navigation; others were chemists, alchemists or astronomers. They wondered whether there was a general balance of the world that will give meaning to human life and the phenomena which surround us.
Q3: According to you, what were the triggers of the spiritual revolution in the 70s in the USA?
A new generation became aware of the limitations of western culture and they revolted against religious, social, political and artistic prohibitions in the world of their parents, who often emerged mentally exhausted and culturally impoverished from the Second World War. In that environment, it was normal that spiritual exploration went off in all directions and was used by certain sects. I observed this phenomenon in the USA but it existed in France and England as well, although it was less visible but quite powerful: look at the Solar Temple.
Q4: We can see through your last book your reluctance before certain techniques such as meditation through substances. A serious ufologist who went to Amazonia spoke of the efficiency of methods used by shamans (using ayahuasca) to reach other plans of reality. They are even described as “technicians of consciousness.” What do you think about it?
In terms of field of research, all these explorations are useful and valuable: current science asks the question of the nature of reality both on a physical basis (quanta, nonlocality etc) and physiological (information processing by the mind, discovery of hidden mechanisms using « functional » MRI etc.)
When I met Terence McKenna I realized during our conversations that our hypotheses on a possible “control system” converged. But my own research involves a structured calibration of data with calibration of investigation tools, which is not possible when one is transported by the visions of drugs like ayahuasca or simply LSD.
Living in California since 1969, I have seen many experiments derived from these methods, whether they came from South American jungles or simply from drug companies. I understand their usefulness to force some parts of the brain to reveal their function in the construction of reality, but I haven’t learnt anything new or reliable for my own work.
P427 – The author’s quotation:
The Ufo phenomenon looks like a kaleidoscope which has three separate levels: a physical and technologic level; a sociologic level; and finally a personal level, subliminal, which plays with subtle shades of human psyche.
The first aspects seem to show evidence of extraterrestrial origins; the second one would be within the competence of human mythology and anthropology, if we refer to the societal dimension only: this is the explanation which meets with the advanced skeptics’ approval, contrary to Menzel and Klass who are content with denying everything outright.
The third aspect is the most disconcerting: it suggests clues of a darker manipulation from terrestrial and very material origins.
Q5: Have you achieved new discoveries on the third aspect of the Ufo phenomenon over the last years?
We are faced with this third aspect when we carry on case studies in the field. Everything is happening as if the phenomenon was able to manipulate its environment (including its human environment) in order to hide its real nature. To my mind, the camouflage uses terrestrial elements and it is not simply a bureaucratic “cover-up” as it has naively been believed for a long time.

Q1: Physics and cosmology of this early 21st century are in crisis and are looking for new patterns to represent the universe: multiverse, multidimensional, folded, etc. Are you paying attention to this crisis and does it give food for thought about the origin of Ufos?
I have followed these works, first in astrophysics at the University of Texas which was a major cosmological research centers, then at Stanford and SRI. The result was my book Autres Dimensions where I wrote that Ufos give us the opportunity (among others) to ask questions about the structure of the universe. I have recently given a TED lecture on the physics of information in the framework of a meeting in Brussels about the next 60 years, a period which I think will put these questions at the center of research. The conference is on Youtube.
Q2: I understand that you have investigated an increase of reports on cryptids in the USA over the last months. Would you tell us about it?
It is a subject I had put aside for a long time, first because I don’t have skills in biology or zoology and especially because it seemed to me independent of the main observations I was studying. I have been forced to come back to this position following series of reports of crypto-zoological phenomena that were co-located with well-documented observations of Ufos.
In 2012 and 2013, I traveled several times in Utah with Professor Frank Salisbury, a distinguished biologist who had also worked with NASA on botany in microgravity. We went all over the Uintah mountain range and later across the semi-desert basin which expands from Vernal to Fort Duchesne to meet the witnesses of these events. They were ranchers, industrial workers and policemen (including the tribal police). In general, those reports are not published, which makes the fieldwork essential to find people and listen to them. Those trips taught me that the observation of these creatures were to be taken seriously. As you may know it, similar observations have been reported in France.
Daniel is president of the Lyon based association “OVNI Investigation”, field investigator and organizer of Rencontres des Sciences et de l’Inexpliqué. On the basis of concrete examples, he has drawn up an interference categorization of the phenomenon on human consciousness.
Q1: In your books, you propose the hypothesis that manifestations of the Ufo phenomenon could correlate with a learning program for humanity. This system could be the same type as psychologist Burrhus Frederic Skinner’s training process. Would you explain this hypothesis and show that the manifestations of the Ufo phenomenon follow a program?
This hypothesis comes from data processing compilations made during the 60s and 70s, which lead to a frequency curve of the phenomenon which looks like a learning program (a “schedule of reinforcement” according to Skinner), that is to say, a sequence of stimuli which is pseudo-periodical. According to Skinner, such a program leads to irreversible learning. It is also difficult to detect unless we study a long series of observations.
Let’s notice at the same time that military studies like the US Air Force Blue Book Project, or academic analyses like that of Professor Condon at the University of Colorado have always treated Ufo cases one by one, without any global perspective, which obviously hides such a program if it exists. The often-recycled statement in the declarations of governmental agencies that Ufos are not a threat, has never taken into account the structure of the global evolution of the phenomenon.
To prove or disprove that hypothesis, we should review recent data and update former cases in order to expand the study in a longer period. I have had the opportunity to talk it over with computer scientists from CNES. It is possible that many hypotheses would converge within such an analysis.
Q2: During a conference you hosted in Montreal in Canada, you talked about past work of arts in which possible Ufos representations can be found. You also talked about Michelangelo’s painting which represents a black triangle that the painter would have observed surely. Would you give us the references of Michelangelo’s work?
The reference is the book of Benedictine chronicler Benedetto Lushino entitled, Vulnera Diligentis (second book, chapter XXII). He wrote that Michelangelo saw a “triangular sign” on a calm night. It was bright (and not dark, by the way) with three tails, one silvery, the second red and the third “flaming and bifurcated.” The observation took place in Rome in 1513. Michelangelo was so impressed that he made a painting, which unfortunately hasn’t survived, to my knowledge.

Q1: The Cergy-Pontoise case broke in 1979. According to you, what truth does this story hide: abduction, hoax, secret services’ fake information, other hypothesis? What confidence do you have, and what piece of evidence will you rely on?
I often think again about this case. It affects me personally because, contrary to most investigations that a researcher happens to make, this one brought me back to a very familiar area: like the primary witness Frank Fontaine, I was a student at Parc-aux-Charrettes communal school in Pontoise; like him and his follow students, I know the area of Cergy very well; and Gérard Deforge, who had Fontaine as a student, is a close friend. I met Fontaine with the two other witnesses in Pontoise at the home of Marceau Sicaud, who had followed the whole case.
Today, I still hesitate between the thesis of a hoax and the possibility of a psychological manipulation. The other two witnesses, Prévost and N’Diaye, have explained the events in their own way but Frank’s personality and his doubt about his experience puzzle me:I don’t think that he has lied. On the other hand, we know that sociological experiences are common in the framework of psychological warfare. In Cergy-Pontoise, several obvious ways which could show manipulations have not been followed up by investigators: why ? The Gepanwas probably wise not to get more involved in the question, once the hypothesis of a real “abduction” was ruled out.
Q2: Do abductees like Adamski or Siragusa reveal a real part of ufological reports or do these stories have a link with something else? Some believe it to be pure hoax. What do you think of it?
If we refer to “scientific” reality, it seems clear that what we have here consists of hoaxes (in Adamski’s case) and psychological issues (delusion, fugue, paraphrenia) in many other cases. But the impact of these reports is deeper than a mere hoax, which would be quickly rejected once the truth is known, as was the case with Gulf Breeze’s famous observations by “Mr Ed” or that of Meier in Switzerland, two cases that ufology has fortunately forgotten.
Dr. Carl Jung didn’t miss the cultural and psychological impact of the 50s “contactee” reports, when he noticed their appeal to powerful archetypes. For instance, contactees were among the first to mention the risk of dangerous pollution of the planet, twenty years before ecologists. This is a point on which their alleged cosmic visitors would often insist….
More recently professor Jeffrey Kripal, who is chairman of the Religious Studies Department at Rice University, has taken up this analysis again in terms of the evolution of religious concepts in the modern world. From this perspective, the fact that new beliefs are based on unverifiable facts or even false ones has no importance: Did Jesus Christ really change water into wine?
Q3: It was said that during the Second World War, German scientists may have developed circular wing machines, flying saucers (Vrils, Haunebus). Are those information be considered as rumors?
These researches are well established, and some of those prototypes were recovered (I have seen one in a laboratory in Texas). From theaeronauticalpoint of view, it was logical to try to develop such machines. At the end of the war, the firms AVRO in Canada and Couzinet in France tried to build a functional flying saucer. Americans took up those researches again, trying to find the Horten brothers. In France the Société Nationale de Construction Aéronautique du Sud-Ouest (SNCASO) hired Thomas Townsend Browne (co-founder of NICAP group) in 1955 for works on electro-gravity. Closer to us, Dr. Moller in California, whom I met in Sacramento when I saw his prototypes, still tries to build a vertical takeoff aircraft for the general public, for which he is looking for financin
With hindsight, we now understand why these aircraft are unsteady (as soon as they go up above “ground effect” like a hovercraft) and especially have difficulty with heavy loads or many passengers: the weight increases with the cube of diameter, and the center of gravity is too close to the center of lift. To my knowledge, the only circular aircraft able to carry one or two people are used by soldiers at low altitude for commando operations, especially in marshy areas. And they don’t spin around as some German prototypes did. I think that there is no longer any mystery on this topic.

Q4: What link do you make between ufology and secret initiation societies?
If they are keepers of a real tradition, initiation societies are open to the idea of non-human consciousness. In Paracelsus, to whom medicine owes some important ideas and practical remedies, we can find a series of descriptions of beings that are supposed to have realities similar to ours. The collections of such esoteric treaties contain precious historical information, apart from speculations that modern science has now validated or exceeded.
Unfortunately, when we look at the recent history of these sects, we also find a more sinister link between their leaders and “services” that use them for political reasons or simply to facilitate political influence. Some well-informed authors have reported on these relations regarding the P2 lodge or Amorc and also Masonic organizations in Africa. In particular, the sect of the Solar Temple hadinitiation rituals that included a contact with so-called extraterrestrials, produced by conjurers’ methods.
Questions of Nagib KARY who is in charge of the French ufologic media Ovnis-Direct:
Q1: Do you know if there is a program or a plan to be in contact with the Ufo phenomenon at the moment ?
You can find many such attempts on the Internet, starting with Dr. Steven Greer’s group. His followers state that they are in frequent contact with Ufos through bright signals or psychic exchange. Unfortunately their cameras or videos stop working at the right moment…Other groups have claimed telepathic contacts. The most reliable projects start with the identification of high-frequency observation areas, where researchers hope to be able to establish regular communication. I haven’t seen convincing results so far.
Q2: What is your opinion about current evolutions of quantum physics ? According to you, would we be close to discoveries which can help partly to explain some phenomena related to Ufos?
The question is legitimate, especially as reliable researches about psychic functioning are facing the same problem. From the non-locality principle, we must wonder whether thought is not transmitted immediately (rather than electromagnetic waves, as in Soviet researches from 1930 to 1940 or French and English scientists’ works in the beginning of the last century with the “mental radio” concept). If so, it might be theoretically possible to get into contact with other forms of consciousness, while beings capable of moving in space might influence us at a distance, or even make us perceive imaginary scenes.
However, to tell the truth, it seems to me that in their enthusiasm some researchers use quantum physics a little bit too much: since these mechanisms remain mysterious, they can be stretched to explain a lot of phenomena in an exaggerated way. I am more interested in new ideas on the physics of information, as I said earlier. If space and time are a side effect of our consciousness and a physical illusion, we should face the problem of phenomena related to Ufos in a more fundamental way.
Q3: Why does the hypothesis of control deal essentially with Ufos and people who are related? Might this manipulation of space and time not materialize current life, in the street, inside houses?
We can imagine a control system that would distort our reality gradually (both physically and socially) to replace it with “something else.” This is what Jorge-Luis Borges described in his masterpiece short story, Tlon, Uqbar,Orbis Tertius.
Q4: Could you tell us the main author, researchers who are currently in the same school of thought as you ?
First, Jeff Kripal and his students and the participants to his symposia at Esalen over the last few years (see his book Authors of the Impossible, University of Chicago Press, where he analyzes my work and that of Bertrand Méheust). These ideas converge with Jean Sider’s work in France and several physicists in the US, and researchers like Philippe Guillemant at CNRS. Moreover, there are groups in Silicon Valley that work on retro-causality and who question physical theories. I think that this work must be done before asking the question of Ufo reality and nature on a very scientific basis.
In fact, I could sum up the issue in the following way: “(1) The Ufo phenomenon does exist, and (2) Knowing that, we just have to renegotiate what we mean by reality!”
Q5: So, can you understand the fact that someone like John Keel has been called into question many times ? Did you manage to talk to him about the manifestation of Point Pleasant (1966-67)?
Is that case credible for you? And do you know if there are other types involving a wide range of varied paranormal manifestations?
John was not a scientist and didn’t pretend to be one. He was rightly called into question because his sources were unverified. I think that he was going too fast and got carried away by the impressions of the moment. To his great credit he spent a lot of time in the field, he was the first to state that genuine witnesses make up an invisible majority, and that the military had a systematic interference program with the observations. He also called into question the extraterrestrial hypothesis — in Disneyland of the Gods in particular.
As for Point Pleasant, I can’t comment about it, I didn’t interview witnesses. But I trust John when he describes the destruction of a bridge that was predicted by previous messages, and he concludes that the phenomenon sometimes makes a fool of us at our expense.
Q6: A lot of Internet users on social networks are keen on the lights which were filmed in Phoenix in Arizona in 1997 and Ufos crashes on the ground which would exhibit material debris. Is it possible to link the hypothesis of the system control with the (Phoenix) facts and assumptions (crashes, reverse engineering) said previously?
This raises two very different questions: The Phoenix case shows the limits of our observation system since we have a lot of reports and a video recording, but we still can’t manage to prove the nature of the phenomenon. I don’t have additional elements that could solve the problem, but let’s notice that the Phoenix case is not unique: it coincides with many unexplained observations of large sets of objects (or lights associated with a big object) in the USA and elsewhere as in the unsolved case of 5 November 1990 in France.
Material debris do exist and they don’t necessarily come from a “crash.” I have published an analysis of several samples I was entrusted with after an observation of a low altitude object ejecting a liquid metal : The results are instructive. Of course, the Holy Grail might be a piece of a crashed machine but it is not obvious that our laboratories are equipped to understand it: As someone said, give a garage door opener to Léonardo da Vinci…
Q7: According to your knowledge and statistical data, is it possible that the system control solves these manifestations again by changing radically? Which would mean that Ufos could become more discreet and make way for a new kind of folklore having the same constants.
If we have a look at the history of the phenomenon over centuries, which we can do now thanks to Chris Aubeck’s researches and his group “Magoniax” on Internet, we can find both some constants (in the appearance of the phenomenon, its evolution and its physical effects) and changes of presentation which seem slightly in advance of technological ideas of the time. Americans of the 19th century saw impossible airships some decades before the building of the first airships, for instance. After the Second World War, we heard about flying saucers with silly small aerials as in the imagination of Comics. Is it a characteristic of the control system? Or simply an effect of a society that puts imagination in the framework of a mysterious phenomenon which still remains unexplained? I agree with your last hypothesis: a new kind of folklore with the same constants.
Q8: You prefaced Bob Pratt’s book entitled Ovnis – danger – appel à la vigilance (in English: Ufo Danger Zone: Terror & Death in Brazil). Have you known new disturbing cases over the last few years?
I haven’t returned to Brazil since the 80s. But we keep receiving information which confirms what Bob Pratt described in his book and what witnesses told me at the spot, including Brazilian Air Force Intelligence officers like Colonel Hollanda Lima.
My grandparents lived in Dayton, Ohio for years prior to 1964. A close friend retired from Wright Patterson AFB. He was high ranking. My grandmother, who was the most witty, honest, and most candid person I’d ever met asked him if it were true about the alien craft and possibly the alien bodies being store at the base. I’ll never forget her telling me this story and her words regarding his response. He said “(my grandmother’s name), if the public knew what was at the base from the Roswell incident, there would be a general panic amongst the public.” She asked him nothing else and he made no more mention of it. – MUFON CMS
In a rare medical case, a team of doctors at state-run JJ hospital extracted as many as 232 tiny teeth from a 17-year-old boy’s mouth in a six-hour long surgery conducted on Monday. Interestingly, doctors claim that the total count of minuscule teeth was far greater than 232, after which they gave up on counting and focussed only on removing them.
Aashiq Gawai, a tenth standard boy from a remote village called Valsavangi in Buldhana district, started developing abnormally fast growing teeth, four months ago. While initially, his parents ignored the peculiar growth, tension grew when his right lower jaw started to swell.
“I did not have much money and we could not understand what was wrong with my son. We first visited a private doctor after which we went to a public hospital in Aurangabad. The doctors in Aurangabad referred us to JJ hospital, stating that it is out of their medical expertise,” said Suresh Gawai, Aashiq’s father.
Gawai, who cultivates cotton in Valsavangi, can hardly speak Hindi. He still cannot understand the medical anomaly his son developed. With no money in his pockets, he reached Mumbai and admitted Aashiq to JJ hospital on July 1.
Later, he was informed about the Rajiv Gandhi Jeevandayee Arogya Yojana, a scheme that provides free medical treatment to poor patients, and enlisted his son under the scheme.
On July 21, during a six-hour long surgery, a team of doctors removed the abnormal growth of teeth from Aashiq’s lower jaw.
“The abnormal growth was a benign tumour. He had a normal jawline, but one molar tooth in the lower jaw had given birth to hundreds of tiny teeth. There were clusters of tooth buds in his lower jaw,” said Dr Sunanda Dhivare, head of dentistry department at JJ hospital.
The doctors in the hospital themselves admitted to having witnessed such a condition for the first time. ENT surgeon Dr Vandana Thorawade said during the surgery, they ensured that the patient’s face symmetry did not change.
“The bone around which the tumour was attached had become brittle and thin. That was the only complication. We could not let that bone break and so we slowly removed one tooth after another,” Thorawade added.
At present, he is on a liquid diet and should be able to eat solid food in a few days. – Indian Express
For decades the Vatican has convened some of the brightest minds in the scientific community around the world to ponder the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and to prepare a public disclosure on behalf of the Catholic Church in case the existence of aliens is confirmed.
Many scientists affirm we’re not far from establishing the “First Contact,” given the advances made is astronomy. Because of this, the Vatican wishes to be ready with a statement. It might not be a easy task for the church to interpret holy scripture—if not analyzed properly—if life is found on other planets and man is not the only creature made in the image of God.
This past March the Vatican Observatory and the University of Arizona organized a conference held in Tucson to discuss the advances made in the search for extraterrestrial life. The conference was inspired by the rapid discovery of planets, new findings on the thresholds of extreme conditions at which life on Planet Earth can survive, and new technology designed for the search of life on exoplanets.
Experts on the study of exoplanets, biologists, companies specializing in biosciences and atmospheric science also participated.
About 200 scientists from around the world attended the event “Search for life beyond the solar system.” They’re challenged with facing the possibility of finding alien life using an interdisciplinary approach.
This July another advancement made by Jesuit priest Guy Consolmagno, a doctor in astronomy for the Vatican Observatory, was given the Carl Sagan science medal from the American Astronomical Society (AAS). Counting with scientists such as Brother Consolmagno, the Vatican’s scientific endeavors have gained prestige.
The AAS announced the award for Brother Consolmagno in honor of his “distinguished communications on behalf of a scientist to the general public”.
Brother Consolmagno has appeared in major news outlets, including the BBC, where he has served as an expert on topics of science and religion relating to science. – VOXXI
Some Albertans who were up early Tuesday were treated to a rare sight when a fireball lit up the night sky.
The Rothney Observatory reports that a fireball — which is larger than a meteor — was seen at 1:24 a.m. Tuesday.
“They’re so bright that if you’re standing, you’ll see your shadow, just like in the daytime,” said Dr. Phil Langill, who directs the University of Calgary observatory.
A meteor is a small rock from outer space that burns up as it enters Earth’s atmosphere. Langill said a fireball is even larger.
“Essentially they’re the same thing; it’s just a matter of scale,” he said.
Scores of people took to Twitter and emailed the Herald about the sudden flash of light.
Jesse Shan was on his south-facing Marda Loop balcony when he saw what appeared to be cloudless lightning just southeast of the city.
“I saw a massive flash to begin with; I was like ‘woah,’ ” said Shan.
He saw a blue-white streak, followed by a burning orange orb that moved slowly, lingering for about five seconds before vanishing.
“It was almost like it entered through out of nowhere and then exited again. It’s just ridiculous,” he said.
Other Calgarians reported a green flash, comparing the sight with falling debris or a large shooting star. Rothney Observatory released a photo of a light-blue teardrop lighting up most of the night sky.
Langill said he guesses the rock was about a metre in diameter. He said that while space rocks vary in density, a grain of sand will produce less than a second of visible flame, while a basketball-sized meteor will net two to three seconds. A couch-sized rock can last up to 10 seconds.
Though it’s impossible to estimate without multiple photos, Langill’s guess is the fireball flamed out over an area between Calgary and Lethbridge. He said it’s possible smaller fragments would have fallen to earth if the rock broke apart.
Sightings were reported some 450 kilometres north of Calgary.
“It was a huge flash of light and we thought: ‘What the heck was that?’ ” said Athabasca resident Michael Borody. He also saw a flash from the southeast, and thought it was a firework. “It was too fast for anyone to get a photo.”
Langill said current technology can’t anticipate metre-wide meteors. While fireball sightings depend on size, cloud cover and population on the ground, he said they’re probably seen about once a year in Calgary.
The fireball wasn’t the only overnight space show for Alberta.
Jason Nishiyama, Calgary head for the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, said watchers reported an iridium flare Monday at 11:30 p.m., just two hours before the fireball.
“Iridium flares are sunlight glinting off panels of the iridium communication satellites. They are quite bright,” Nishiyama told the Herald in an email.
Alan Dyer, an astronomy writer who worked three decades with the Calgary science centre, said iridium flares are typical during summer’s clear nights. Most are predictable based on the positioning of satellites used for GPS systems.
“You see them all the time; they’re really common,” he said.
As for the fireball, even professional skywatchers missed the five-second spectacle. Langill said researchers were working inside the observatory at the time of the fireball, but were glued to their screens.
It was my grandfather’s funeral today. The service was held in the local crematorium. Some family members said a few words and I read a poem, one called God Lay Dead in Heaven by an American guy named Stephen Crane, as the coffin moved into the furnace. There had been a lot of debate about whether the poem should be read, my mother thought it was inappropriate, that it might upset some of our older friends and relatives, but it had been my grandfather’s wish for me to read this particular poem at his funeral and so I did.
As I finished the last line of the poem, I had heard a few faint mutterings and the uncomfortable shuffling of some people in their seats, but I was too preoccupied to notice. As I walked back to take my seat I knew people were staring at me and I began to grow paranoid that it was because I hadn’t cried. I had tried to cry, I really had, but after what I’d learned the week before, all I could feel was a cold numbness.
My grandfather was the kindest, most generous person I have ever met. He had worked all his life as a steelworker but took early retirement to help out my mum and dad when my little sister, Ellie, was born twelve years ago. I was seven when she was born and every other weekend we would spend time at my grandfather’s house so that my parents could spend some alone time together. When I was little he would buy me big bags of sweets and take me to the video store to rent whatever movie I wanted. As I grew up, I still looked forward to my weekends at his house and my sister and I would come home from school on a Friday before we were due to leave for his house and pack our things ready in excitement.
One weekend, when I was twelve years old and my sister five, our grandfather took us out shopping in town. A new Disney store had been added to the shopping mall and my sister had been bugging us all morning to go and finally my grandfather gave in. I wasn’t really into Disney any more, so the trip was pretty boring for me, but Ellie was fascinated by all the toys and merchandise, disappearing into thick crowds of people more than once as she ran about, almost giving me and my grandfather a heart attack each time. Eventually, she became transfixed on a sky-blue Cinderella dress and begged my grandfather to buy it for her. It took us a good twenty minutes to coax her out of the store, and her tears and sobs brought on by being torn away from the dress only subsided after she was bribed with ice cream and a promise that she could stay up an hour past her bed time that night.
It was two weeks later when we went back to my grandfather’s house and as soon as we walked in Ellie screamed a high-pitched scream. Hanging on the door frame of the living room was the Cinderella dress – my grandfather had bought it for her the day before. After that, Ellie barely took that dress off. She would wear it everywhere, in all weather, and would have slept in it had she been allowed. One day, after a fancy dress party at her school, she came home looking more or less distraught. I asked her what was wrong and she said that another girl at school had been wearing the same dress and it didn’t seem “special” any more. I rolled my eyes when she retold this story to my grandfather that weekend but instead of brushing it off as childish nonsense, he took Ellie out to buy some sequins and fake gems and they spent the afternoon together customizing the dress to make it unique. She had run to show me the dress once it was finished, holding it up with a huge smile on her face. It was covered in red, blue and green sequins and gems, haphazardly stuck with glue in random places. On the label at the neck she had scrawled “Ellie” in black marker pen, to make it clear who it belonged to, she told me.
One month later Ellie was missing.
I don’t remember an awful lot from this time. It was all a blur of policemen, counsellors and my parents crying. Ellie had last been seen playing in the street in her Cinderella dress and then all of a sudden, she was gone. The police had no idea what had happened. They searched everywhere for her and the whole community joined in to help search the fields and wastelands around the village, but to no avail. She had just vanished. There was a short period where the police had thought they had caught the guy that did it but it turned out he wasn’t the one, so they let him go. People weren’t convinced that he was innocent and I think he had to move out of town after a while. Eventually, the case became cold, the police investigation slowed down and our family were left to deal with this new void in our lives.
About two years after Ellie went missing, my dad ran off with another woman. My mother couldn’t take it and suffered a huge breakdown, having to spend a long time in a hospital in order to recover. I was still only a teenager at this time, so I went to stay with my grandfather. Life with him was good, he looked after me and treated me well, doing everything a normal parent should, but it was never the same. There was always a horrible air of sadness lurking around the house and at nights I often heard him crying himself to sleep.
When I reached the age of seventeen, I felt I was old enough to move out and have my own place, but instead I moved back in to my mother’s home. She had been released from the hospital and I thought it would be good to be there to look after her and at least attempt to rebuild what was left of our relationship.
Everything carried on as normal as it could have until two days before my nineteenth birthday, when my grandfather passed away. He had been fighting bowel cancer for almost a year and it was horrible to see him slowly fading away. Part of me felt relief when he finally died, although I hate to admit it. A few days before he died, he had asked my mum to call me into his room at the hospital so he could speak to me alone. He chatted to me about some things from the past and told me he was proud of me. Just before I left he handed me a small white envelope and made me promise that I would only open it after he had passed. I promised and stuffed the envelope in my pocket.
It wasn’t until the day after he passed that I remembered the envelope. I fished it out of my pocket and opened it slowly. Inside was a print off of a map with a tiny area circled, “it’s here” scrawled in red ink above the marker. Also in the envelope was a small key. I immediately set off to find out what it opened.
The area on the map was one familiar to me. It was a field near my old primary school and the circle lead me to an isolated corner where a large tree stood. I didn’t see anything there. I checked the map again and again but I was sure I was in the right spot. Then something inside me told me to dig, so I dropped to my knees and began scraping at the hard ground with a sharp stone I found. After a good hour or so of digging I hit something solid. I spent the next while digging around the object, eventually pulling out a red metal box. It was locked with a small silver padlock.
At the wake, I didn’t talk to anyone. Some people tried to talk to me, but I was in a haze. A couple of my grandfather’s old drinking buddies made a few comments about the poem I read being inappropriate – I guess mum was right. I couldn’t stay there with all those people and so I left early.
I’m at home now and I still can’t cry. As I type this the red box sits in my lap. Inside is a blue Cinderella dress, decorated with red, blue and green sequins and gems, the name “Ellie” still barely legible on the tag at the neck. I don’t know what to feel. – Reddit.com
I’m serving notice now! I’M NOT GIVING UP! You bozos can post all you want about me…it’s not going to work. I’m not going to give credence to your nonsense with a link to your sites or pages. Threatening Phantoms and Monsters and my business is not going to garner you anything other than more disdain from people who already know that you’re a piece of shit. Lon
Here’s a direct quote:
“Mr. Strickler’s incompetence and charlatanism make him a danger to people suffering from very real and dangerous paranormal issues. He would do better to leave the paranormal field entirely and stick with copying and pasting stories of mythical creatures and monsters.”
Is it a plane? Is it a bird? No, apparently, it is a UFO which was spotted flying over Lucknow. Even though the astronomers are saying that it could be a UFO, there is no official confirmation as to what it was.
With astronomers from all over the world hinting that there could be other planets with life on them, the appearance of an unidentified flying object (UFO) over Lucknow has become a heated topic of discussion.
These photographs of the UFO were taken by Lucknow resident Amit Tripathi. Tripathi, who lives in Rajajipuram’s E-block, sector 11, was sitting in his balcony and taking photographs of the sunset with his cellphone when he spotted a mysterious shiny object in the sky beside the sun.
Within moments, the shiny flying object began spinning and rising. Tripathi quickly took some photographs of the object with his phone. Tripathi says the object went straight up and within 40 seconds it disappeared.
Earlier too reports had come in of UFOs being spotted on July 11 in Guwahati, on July 12 from Shamli and on July 14 in Tundla.
Take a look at the photos that Amit Tripathi took. What do you think? Is the circled object a UFO?
It started spinning and began rising upwards.
As it rose upwards, it moved back and forth horizontally as well.
