UFO sighting over Sydney, Australia on 27th July 2014
UFOsighting over Sydney, Australia on 27th July 2014
This account was forwarded to me in December 2009. Rosario’s scenario is a bit scary and may verify some concerns involving alien intentions. In our conversation, Rosario seemed very sincere and demonstrated spontaneous emotion when certain subjects were discussed:
“I want to thank you for allowing me to tell my story. I have been a subscriber to your site for over a year and it has inspired me to open up so others be made aware of the complications that humans may face after an abduction by alien beings.”
“One early morning during the late Summer of 1990, I awoke from a very deep sleep. It was 3:35AM and still dark outside, though I’d be up in an hour or so since it was harvest time on the farm.
I was feeling nervous as my heart pounded heavily. I sensed that there was someone in my bedroom, but all I could see was a spot of light in the corner by the dresser. Suddenly several hands grabbed me from all around the bed. I attempted to scream but could not move or say anything, nothing came out of my mouth.”
“Within seconds I found myself lying on a cold hard table completely nude and terribly uncomfortable. I looked around me and there were four small beings in hoods and loose robes standing around me. They were conversing with each other, but I could not understand what they were saying since it sounded like a young child’s gibberish. I felt something touching me all over my body but could see nothing. The beings’ faces had a weird glow with sagging folds of shining skin.”
“After what seemed like forever these beings slowing moved aside and this human-like man walked up to my side. He was tall, bald and had very pale skin. He also had large round eyes and was very slim. He came over to the table and started to talk to me in English. He calmly said that he was perplexed that I was so scared since he made it clear the last time that they had met he would return to ask a favor. He then turned and raised his hand, gesturing to a woman who walked into the room. She seemed to be a normal human female and quite beautiful. She had a small bundle in her arms and walked over to me. It was an infant, but it had pale skin and didn’t look quite human.”
“The tall man instructed me that he wanted me to take the infant and care for it. It needed the love of a human mother since their race did not understand the emotion of love. I told him that I couldn’t because I already had a child and it was hard enough raising my son alone on a farm when times were currently difficult for me. He raised his head up and down as if agreeing with what I said and passed his hands across my eyes. I must have passed out because I awoke to found myself in my bed.”
“It was daylight and I figured that I had been ‘gone’ for about 5 hours. When I tried to get out of bed, my legs and hips were very stiff and sore. I carefully stood up and noticed 2 large spots of wet blood on the bedsheets. The experience with the beings was still fresh on my mind but I had no idea that I had endured any probing or surgery.”
“A few days later, I decided to schedule a doctor’s appointment just to make sure I was OK. The doctor recommended a full physical since my blood pressure was higher than usual and my ankles were swollen. An appointment was made at my local hospital for x-rays and blood work.”
“To make a long story short, I returned to my doctor’s office a few days after the tests were performed. When I walked into her office, she asked me to sit down and explained that my right kidney was missing. She said that it was probably missing since birth and was just never noticed. I found this hard to believe since I had given birth to my child and have had other x-rays in the past. I just agreed with her assessment and was instructed that I would need to start taking hypertension medication and would need to be regularly monitored.”
“I am positive that the beings removed my kidney and performed other experiments on my body. Though it has been almost 20 years since that encounter, I just know that they will be back.”
“Lon, have you ever heard of organs and/or body parts being harvested from abducted humans?”
“I sincerely hope I can eventually get some answers.” Rosario – near Cody, WY
NOTE: I did talk to Rosario and assured her that she wasn’t the only person that I knew of who had whole or parts of organs removed during an abduction or encounter. I never received a follow-up from Rosario, but I hope she found some solace. Lon
Donald (Deke) Slayton “Mercury Seven” astronaut, stated in an interview, that he had seen a UFO in 1951: “I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at about 10,000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon. I thought the object was a kite, then realized that no kite is gonna [sic] fly that high. As I got closer, it looked like a weather balloon, gray and about three feet in diameter. But as soon as I got behind the darn thing, it didn’t look like a balloon anymore. It looked like a saucer, a disc. About that same time, I realized that it was suddenly going away from me – and there I was, running at about 300 miles an hour. I tracked it for a little while, and then all of sudden the damn thing just took off. It pulled about a 45-degree climbing turn and accelerated and just flat disappeared. A couple of days later, I was having a beer with my commanding officer, and I thought, ‘ What the hell, I’d better mention something to him about it.’ I did, and he told me to get on down to intelligence and give them a report. I did, and I never heard anything more on it.”
Vladimir Kovalyonok, Major-General of Aviation stated: “On May 5, 1981, we were in orbit [in the Salyut-6 space station]. I saw an object that didn’t resemble any cosmic objects I’m familiar with. It was a round object which resembled a melon, round and a little bit elongated. In front of this object was something that resembled a gyrating depressed cone. I can draw it, it’s difficult to describe. The object resembles a barbell.
I saw it becoming transparent and like with a ‘ body’ inside. At the other end I saw something like gas discharging, like a reactive object. Then something happened that is very difficult for me to describe from the point of view of physics. Last year in the magazine Nature I read about a physicist… we tried together to explain this phenomenon and we decided it was a ‘ plasmaform.’ I have to recognize that it did not have an artificial origin. It was not artificial because an artificial object couldn’t attain this form. I don’t know of anything that can make this movement… tightening, then expanding, pulsating. Then as I was observing, something happened, two explosions. One explosion, and then 0.5 seconds later, the second part exploded. I called my colleague Viktor [Savinykh], but he didn’t arrive in time to see anything. “What are the particulars? First conclusion: the object moved in a suborbital path, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to see it. There were two clouds, like smoke, that formed a barbell. It came near me and I watched it. Then we entered in to the shade for two or three minutes after this happened. When we came out of the shade we didn’t see anything. But during a certain time, we and the craft were moving together.” (Videotaped interview with Giorgio Bongiovanni in the village of Kosnikov, near Moscow, 1993.
Devil ‘texts priest’ Father Marian Rajchel over exorcism
A Polish priest who carried out an exorcism on a teenage girl says he is getting abusive text messages — from the devil.
It appears Lucifer isn’t too happy that Father Marian Rajchel tried to save the young girl’s soul and has been voicing his displeasure via text.
“The author of these texts is an evil spirit who has possessed her soul”, he told the Austrian Times . “Often the owners of mobile phones are not even aware that they are being used like this. However, in this case it is clear.”
In one of the texts the devil apparently told Father Rajchel that he was wasting his time trying to save the teenager.
“She will not come out of this hell. She’s mine. Anyone who prays for her will die,” the devil said.
After Father Rajchel replied, the devil then turned on him, getting particularly nasty and personal with the priest.
“Shut up, preacher. You cannot save yourself. Idiot. You pathetic old preacher,” he said.
Father Rajchel said “clearly this young girl has been possessed and needs further help.” – Herald Sun
Two new unexplained craters have now been discovered in the permafrost of Russia’s far north.
The mystery surrounding Siberia’s anomalous craters seems no closer to being solved this week following the revelation that two more have turned up in different regions of the country.
The second hole, like the first, was discovered in the Yamal Peninsula but was situated several hundred kilometers away. With a diameter of 15 meters, the hole is located in the Taz district near the village of Antipayuta and possesses many of the same geological features as its predecessor.
“Undoubtedly, we need to study all such formations,” said Earth Cryosphere Institute chief scientist Marina Leibman. “It is necessary to be able to predict their occurrence. Each new funnel provides additional information for scientists.”
The third and most recently discovered crater is located in the Taymyr Peninsula where it was found by local herders who almost fell in to it by accident. While not as large as the other two, its diameter is still 4m and its depth is estimated to be up to 100m. Images at Siberian Times
Haunted Hanover, PA home continues to harass owners
It’s only been two days since the Hanover episode of “The Dead Files” aired and already DeAnna Simpson, owner of the featured haunted house, has noticed an increase in traffic on Maple Avenue.
There are at least 20 or 30 cars driving by every day to check out the home, Simpson said, People are even hopping out of the car to take pictures of the property or snap a quick selfie. Others approach her with questions about the episode while she works in the garden.
“I was always quiet about it and ashamed to tell people,” Simpson said about her experience living in the house for seven years. “You can’t tell people stuff like that because they look at you like get the straight jacket. Now, all of a sudden, there is this overwhelming support.”
Though Simpson said a few people accused her of living a Godless life or hunting for attention, most people are sympathetic to the situation. She’s received emails, Facebook messages and been approached by others looking to share their own supernatural experiences. Read more at York Daily Record
Mathematicians Say It’s Probable That Alien Probes Have Reached Earth
NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe reached beyond our solar system’s boundary last year, and it’s set to rendezvous with a star named AC+79 3888—in about 40,000 years. It may seem like a long time, but imagine an alien race that’s 40,000 years ahead of us in technological development.
What if that race sent out a probe 40,000 years ago? Could we be at the receiving end of similar attempts at space exploration? What if that race had a million-year head start on humanity?
University of Edinburgh professors Arwen Nicholson and Duncan Forgana have pondered such questions and formulated some related theories.
They published an article in the International Journal of Astrobiology last year explaining techniques that could dramatically cut down the time needed to send probes far and wide. They also said it is not only possible that aliens could reach our solar system with such probes, but they may have even done so a very long time ago. And this may be ongoing, with several different alien cultures sending probes at the same time.
Furthermore, the probes could be so advanced we would not even be able to detect them. Just because we haven’t seen the probes, said the mathematicians, doesn’t mean they haven’t arrived.
According to Albert Einstein’s relativity theory, it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and this has led some to question how aliens could reach our planet within any reasonable amount of time if they live so many light-years away.
Some scientists have begun questioning Einstein’s relativity theory, though it still provides the prevailing framework for understanding cosmic motion. Even within the bounds of this theory, said the researchers, space travel could be much quicker than previously thought.
Nicholson and Forgana theorize that probes could slingshot themselves around cosmic bodies using the gravitational forces of those bodies. This slingshot maneuver, combined with an ability to self-replicate, could allow alien civilizations to probe the entire Milky Way galaxy within 10 million years without going faster than the speed of light, according to their calculations. Actually, the probes would only need to go 10 percent of the speed of light to accomplish this.
It may seem that 10 million years is still a completely unreasonable time span, but considering the enormity of the galaxy and the great time span of all of cosmic history, it’s really quite short.
The two professors built their theory upon the work of mathematician and physicist John Von Neumann, who first postulated the model of the self-replicating machine in the 1940s.
The concept of the self-replicating, Voyager-like probe follows the idea that a probe is sent to a distant star system, and once it arrives, it collects the necessary resources needed to construct another probe. Once the new probe is finished, it would move onto another system while the parent would stay at its destination and complete its mission. – The Epoch Times
I was intrigued by poll results that were posted by The Huffington Post today:
Humans have been searching for signs of life on other planets at least since the 1960s, when scientists began scanning the heavens for radio signals that might be evidence of extraterrestrial beings. Scientists even have tried to reach out to aliens by sending out radio messages, beginning with transmissions made in 1974.
But does it make sense for us to try to establish contact with alien life? A new HuffPost/YouGov poll shows that many Americans have their doubts.
It’s not that Americans don’t think intelligent life exists beyond Earth. Fifty percent think intelligent life is out there somewhere, the poll shows. Nineteen percent think there’s no intelligent alien life, and 31 percent say they’re not sure.
And 46 percent think it would be possible for humans to contact intelligent aliens. But only 37 percent think it’s a good idea to try. Twenty-seven percent said it’s a bad idea, while 36 percent aren’t sure whether it’s a good or bad idea.
Americans who think attempting to contact alien life is a bad idea had differing reasons for saying so. Eight percent of all Americans said it would be a waste of time to try because intelligent life is unlikely to exist. Another 8 percent said they think it might be dangerous, because our efforts might alert unfriendly aliens to our presence.
Five percent said an alien contact program would be a waste of money even if it did work, and 2 percent said it would be too difficult because we lack the necessary technology. Another 2 percent said it would be a bad idea for some other reason.
The poll shows that men are more likely than women to believe intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe (58 percent to 43 percent) and to think that it would be possible to contact extraterrestrial life (53 percent to 40 percent). Forty-one percent of men and 33 percent of women said it’s a good idea to try to contact other intelligent life forms, but those who said it was a bad idea gave similar reasons for why.
The HuffPost/YouGov poll was conducted July 17-19 among 1,000 U.S. adults using a sample selected from YouGov’s opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population. Factors considered include age, race, gender, education, employment, income, marital status, number of children, voter registration, time and location of Internet access, interest in politics, religion and church attendance. – THP
The fact that only 37% of Americans believe that contacting extraterrestrials is a good idea gives me some hope that wiser minds are out there.
At one time, I was gung-ho on the idea of sending signals and ‘Pioneer Plaques’ into space, hoping for a positive result. The Carl Sagan ‘Cosmos’ series fascinated me and piqued my interests. SETI’s continued efforts (as well as the movie ‘Contact‘) were inspirations of the good that could be gained by consorting with alien races. That enthusiasm ended after my research and investigation of the David Eckhart & Family ordeal.
Subsequent investigations have bolstered my thinking on the subject, leading to this conclusion…that we are merely fodder to the majority of non-terrestrials.
Now…before you start writing, I do want to note that I believe there are beings who, to a degree, are looking after us. I sincerely accept the premise that our future descendants, in whatever physical form they evolved to, are initiating efforts to reverse certain events that were detrimental in their history.
That stated…yes, I do conclude that some forms of time travel will be fabricated and eventually be used to augment earlier segments of human history. In fact, I believe it has already occurred numerous times.
Our future is an agenda that will play out as designed. Those leaders & bureaucrats who do not conform to this timetable will be asterisks on future records.
It is truly a New World Order…but on a scale that includes other times and other worlds. Lon
On March 14th, 2014, the world lost its greatest pioneer in the field of alien implant/physical evidence removal. Dr. Roger Leir was responsible for the removal of sixteen implanted objects from abduction experiencers, and with his passing many are now wondering whom to turn to. According to Dr. Leir’s associate Darrel Sims, and his website alienhunter.org, there are three facts you should know about alien implants:
1) They are extremely rare.
2) They are not tracking devices.
3) They are evolving.
The first thing one should probably consider when contemplating the issue of implants is; how did they get there? Most abduction experiencers do not have a conscious memory of the implant being inserted, and may never even know that they have one. According to Dr. Leir there is never even a mark showing where the implant might have entered, and they don’t cause inflammation of the surrounding tissue. So how is one to know when they have one? On top of that is the issue of the public’s acceptance of the whole abduction phenomena! If the general public has a hard time swallowing the idea of alien abductions, it’s a sure bet that implants are going to be even more unrealistic to the average person. All this can leave the experiencer wondering where to turn to for help.
Another question that comes to mind is; does every abduction experiencer have an implant? I would have to say…yes. Even if we can’t detect one, I wouldn’t be so sure that means there isn’t one there. The implants that have been analyzed as emitting a signal, did so on the same frequency as RF tags used in most stores as anti-theft devices, but not all of the implants removed had detectable emissions. Does this mean that they were shut off remotely, or is it transmitting on a frequency we just can’t detect? When watching the “Watchers 8” DVD I thought it interesting that the implant that they were trying to remove, while being visible before, decided to hide from the ultrasound when they actually were going to remove it. Was someone or something monitoring it and aware that it was the subject of study? And just what is it that they transmit? As you can see, the questions pile up faster than the answers when one starts to investigate the implant phenomena.
There are many debunkers out there that would say that it’s all only psychological, and that what is being removed from patients is nothing more than bits of glass or metal shavings, and that the people had simply forgotten the injury where the object penetrated the skin. In the instances that they usually provide as evidence of their theory, they are correct. Of course people get objects imbedded in their skin accidentally in the course their daily lives, and often these days after all of the publicity some people do question what said object might be. And of course the debunkers like to shout out that there have never been any scientific tests done on any of the removed implants. To both accounts, they are wrong. Interestingly, they never like to talk about the good cases.
According to the MUFON website (www.mufon.com), Dr. Roger Leir and Mr. Darrel Sims, a certified hypnotherapist, are the founders of FIRST (Fund for Interactive Research and Space Technology). Together they assembled a team of “competent medical professionals and volunteers” who performed their first set of implant removal surgeries at Dr. Leir’s podiatry clinic in Thousand Oaks, California, on August 19th, 1995. The objects removed in those surgeries were studied by two different pathologists, and then sent to different independent laboratories for extensive scientific analysis. MUFON records indicate that the tests run on these objects included a pathology/tissue evaluation, and three forms of spectroscopy amongst many others, and were performed by the National Institute of Discovery of Science (NIDS), New Mexico Tech, and other independent sources. In the words of Dr. Leir; “The findings of these implant surgeries are highly unusual”, not the least of which was the fact that the metal the implants were constructed out of was “meteoric in origin”.
So where does one turn to for help? As always, one can always file a report on MUFON’s website, and whoever is assigned to investigate the case will be equipped to best help with that situation. Another very valuable resource is CERO (Close Encounter Research Organization), and it’s founder Yvonne Smith, who has assured me that there is help available for anyone who is seeking it.

A Wright County, MO, radio station employee filed a report for a local listener who experienced a recent cattle mutilation, according to July 28, 2014, testimony in Case 58460 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
A Wright County, MO, rancher isn’t taking any chances and has moved his entire herd to a new location after one of his calves was mutilated on July 15, 2014. Pictured: Wright County, MO. (Credit: Google)
“He checks his cattle every day and the other day one of his calves were missing from the herd,” the reporting witness stated. “He couldn’t find it that day, but the next day he noticed a buzzard and went to that area and found the calf in a creek bed.”
The witness described the animal’s condition.
“All the internal organs were gone. It was drained of all blood and there was nothing left but hide and bones. He said there was a smell like a butcher shop has.”

Hearing of other animal mutilations in the area, the rancher has relocated his herd.
“He moved all his herd to another area and has sold all the calves he could as he heard that his neighbor has lost 15 calves the same way this calf has died.”
Wright County is located in the southern portion of Missouri, population 18,815. The incident occurred on July 15, 2014.
Missouri MUFON is following up on leads that more than a dozen animal mutilation have occurred in the state recently. Pictured: Wright County, MO. (Credit: Google)
Missouri State Director Debbie Ziegelmeyer is investigating. Missouri has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. Missouri had 29 UFO reports in June 2014 – the 4th highest reporting state – while California had 107 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
A Pennsylvania witness at Lewistown reported watching a “silvery-blue, disc shape” hovering right above her neighbor’s roof about 1 a.m. on July 28, 2014, according to testimony in Case 58468 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The Lewistown, PA, witness described the object as blue-white energy hovering just over a neighbor’s rooftop on July 29, 2014. Pictured: Lewistown, PA. (Credit: Google)
The witness had just stepped outside with her dog when the animal ran off and she heard a neighbor’s dog inside a pen whimpering – and then looked up and noticed the object.
“Only way for me to describe it was it looked like energy,” the witness stated. “It wasn’t solid, but not translucent either. I wasn’t sure what I was seeing whether it was from this universe, or spiritual. If I wasn’t paralyzed from fear I would have enjoyed its beauty more.”
The object quickly moved away.
“Within five or so seconds it dispersed. I felt the energy go through my body. I honestly didn’t know for a few minutes if I was dead or alive. I didn’t feel any pain, just warmth. Logically I thought maybe I had somehow got struck by lightning. It looked nothing like lightening though, and I had no pain, burns, anything outwardly different at all that I could tell.”
The Lewistown, PA, witness said the object quickly disappeared and re-appeared higher in the sky nearby. Pictured: Lewistown, PA. (Credit: Google)
The object appeared nearby.
“A few moments later I saw it up higher and farther away. I never saw it move from point A to point B though. After it took off, it was out of sight until I saw it reappear those few moments later.”
The size of the object was large from the witnesses’ point of view.
“I would describe the size the first time I saw it as around the size of the diameter of our above ground pool. So around 20-24 feet. That’s an estimate. I was closer to the ground than it was, but saw it from the side, not underneath. I saw no craft, only the blue energy.”
The object’s size hovering over a neighbor’s rooftop was described as the size of an above ground swimming pool. Pictured: Lewistown, PA, Post Office (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

I find a common theme among the human race is how one group can criticize others for alleged absurd beliefs yet hold on to what could be called equally absurd beliefs. An example if UFO buffs and religious fundamentalists. UFO believers have been regarded as a flaky bunch while religious leaders and followers are generally thought of as outstanding citizens. There are times I beg to differ.
Pastor that used to be stationed in the small city I live in scoffed at the possibility of UFO's among other things in the realm of the paranormal. But he didn't question anything written in the Bible despite lack of any real proof supporting the Virgin Birth and other biblical claims. It's amazing the double standards involved.
The centuries untold masses have believed in questionable information that organized religion has told them. One topic that has been ridiculed is the prospects of life elsewhere other than what is on Earth. The Universe has countless planets and stars, some of which could very well support life on them. To say Earth is the only inhabited planet in the entire cosmos is egotistical, vain and arrogant on our part. Yet for centuries conventional wisdom said Earth was the centre of the Universe when we are far from it. To disagree with the party line of that day meant being labelled as a heretic or be shunned.
UFO world has its share of the fringe element but claims of religious fundamentalists can be just as absurd. Instead of continuing in the us versus then mentality we need to find answers in this field. It's going to be interesting to see what is going on in this area.
Publisher's Note:I received an email from Deborah Richards regarding her new book: I am the author of 'The Skywhale' which has recently been published as an ebook and is available on Amazon.com. Could you please publish the following book review on your UFO Digest website.
The basic premise of ‘The Skywhale’ by Deborah Richards is that UFOs are really living creatures that can hover and fly through the sky. In the book Esme and her teenage brother George find a skywhale while they are out treasure-hunting with a metal detector in the silt of a river estuary. The creature had been basking just under the silt and the metal detector wakes it up. It rises up into the air and flies off with the two young people clinging onto the roots (or are they veins?) on the creature’s back. Esme can communicate with the creature telepathically but George is already too old. Over the course of a day they discover that the skywhale is highly intelligent with a great sense of humour and a liking for danger that ultimately gets them all into trouble. The skywhale is pan-dimensional and can ‘jump’ out of trouble but the youngsters are not.
The book found a home with the Canadian digital publisher MuseItUp Publishing who described it as “totally unique”. Aimed at the young teen market, it was published on 18th July 2014 as an ebook, available from Amazon.com and six other online ebook retailers. A sequel is on its way.

Toward late November and during the month of December of 1983, the neighborhood of Villa Montoro on the outskirts of La Plata (capital of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) became the epicenter for a series of reports by local residents – mainly children and teenagers – who claimed having witnessed encounters with small, greenish, humanoid entities. The case became known as “the little green men of La Plata” and it caused significant local interest in the early days of the restoration of democratic rule in the country.
The Facts
An abandoned house, located on a property on Calle 600 between 2nd and 3rd in the Villa Montoro neighborhood was the main scene of the alleged apparitions of these diminutive beings, which according to eyewitness reports, were green-skinned and stood no taller than 0.60 centimeters. Sightings of these small entities was not restricted to the house in question, and sightings and reports extended to several blocks around, giving rise to a veritable tidal wave of journalists, researchers, experts in supernatural phenomena and curiosity-seekers flooding the area constantly.
First Sightings
Diego Illi, 7 at the time, living at Calle 600 between 1st and 2nd, was perhaps the first to have a close encounter with the little men. This took place on Sunday, November 27 between 14:30 and 19:30 hours. “We went to play with Walter (a friend) in the abandoned house. We were climbing a tree when we saw them. Walter got scared and ran away. I stayed behind and played with them a lot. We climbed the tree limbs, and I also got to wrestle with one of them. Then they told me it was late and that I had to leave.” (1)
Regarding the description of these beings, Diego noted: “They’re tiny – they come up to here,” pointing to his knee. “They’re green and have wrinkled faces, like old men. They had long nails, were dressed in green, had little boots and green caps.” Diego says he saw the little men eating quince and honey.
“I went back to the house but never found them again. I hope they come back. I’d like to see them again.”
Claudia Ortiz de Viguera, 21, lives across from the lot where the apparitions allegedly occurred. She remembers going out to smoke a cigarette on the evening of Sunday the 27th. “First I heard laughter, like that of children, coming from the playground, but while it’s true that they play there regularly, I found it odd that they should be playing at that time of night. That’s when the little man turned up. The night was rather bright and that’s how I managed to see him, but it happened very quickly…”
Another eyewitness account is that of Julio Cesar Masei, a 14-year-old who on Monday the 28th, the next day, claims having had the following experience.
“It was around 16:30 hours and I was crossing the field to reach Calle 90, since I was off to see a friend who lives between 4th and 5th. In the middle of the field there’s a small stream and a sort of embankment. As I walked by, I heard laughter and noise, and decided to get closer. The embankment is covered by a cina-cina bush, and when I lifted it I saw around 4 or 5 of those little men. When they saw me, they stood up and chased me. I took off at high speed, and tried to leap across the stream but couldn’t do it. In any event, I managed to cross it all covered in mud. The little men remained on the other side. We stared at each other for a while, some 5 minutes. They screeched and growled like cats, threatening me with cina-cina branches. One of them, the loudest, appeared to be rabid.”
Julio’s description of the beings is as follows. “They were midgets standing some meter and a half tall. They were dressed in little green coveralls, but their skin was the same as ours, the same color. They had no ears and were very old, some 70 years old.”
The youth adds: “I threw a brick at one and hit him in the leg. He screamed and hopped around as his fellows looked at him.” Julio ran to join his friends, who mocked him. He then fearfully made the return journey home.
Hours later, at dusk, the young man decided to go back. “I went out looking for them again, with a flashlight. I found them once more in an empty field under a tree. I crept up and had one of them close at hand. I reached out my hand and touched him without feeling anything odd.”
More Eyewitness Reports
Guillermo Insaurralde, 11, decided to go to the site accompanied by several friends after hearing what locals were talking about. “All of us were circling the house when one of them [the little men] ran out from behind a wall. He was green, looked scaly and I even think he had a single eye. It was dark and I shouted for my friends to bring the flashlight over. The thing ran toward the bushes in a zig-zag pattern and vanished. It walked on two legs, was like a midget, and made strange noises like a tired dog.”
Later on, the boy would expand on the details (at the request of journalists) on the creature’s characteristics: “It would have been some 50 centimeters tall with a scaly body, like a fish, seemed frightened and squealed…it looked like the light from the flashlights caused it harm. We almost caught it, but it moved too quickly and got away from us after chasing it nearly two blocks from where we found it…I saw it had a single eye in its forehead. It was black. I didn’t notice any hair on it, had a large head, like a half-flattened egg or pumpkin…”
Beatriz Piñeyro was around 8 at the time. She lived with her parents in the rear of the abandoned house. She told her father that on Monday, she saw the little men on the treetops. The father did not pay attention to his daughter’s statements at the time, and upon approaching the trees, he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
On the Progression of the Events
During the course of the events in Villa Montoro, a number of researchers of unusual phenomena appeared (2), aside from the journalists and chroniclers of the communication media. [These were] extraterrestrial contactees, channelers, people who received messages from the Blessed Virgin and those who claimed to be in telepathic contact with imps and gnomes. Among them was parapsychologist Oscar Avendaño, who claimed having received telepathic messages from these small beings, giving him a message to be conveyed to then-president Raul Alfonsín (3). The parapsychologist claimed to have made contact with a little man named “Clatú” (4), commander of the Astro-Galactica spacecraft: “Alfonsín must not allow work to continue on nuclear energy and thoughts of making a nuclear weapon must be dismissed.” This, allegedly, was part of the message received by Avendaño.
Commissioner Amador Alfredo Villar of the Eight Commisariat of the city acknowledges that many people reported to his precinct to report what they had seen, but made it clear that the corresponding reports were never taken down. In his own words: “We visited the place several times. I’ve been there myself and haven’t found anything yet…we’ll keep investigating and patrolling should anything turn up.”
When consulted about his opinion regarding the witness claims, he said: “I don’t know what they’ve seen. I don’t know. Maybe it’s true. It’s hard to believe, of course, but who knows. People were very restless last night, we went and found a large group of people combing the pastures with flashlights or standing there discussing the subject.”
Some local residents manifested their dismay about the situation, especially the lack of safety at the end of the day. They said that gunshots could be heard in the dark, stones were thrown at the homes nearest the abandoned house. They demanded a greater police presence due to the number of people prowling the area (5).

(N.Morgan) Do you believe aliens exist? Do you believe that there are other planets inhabited by other life forms, different from ours? Is it possible for such life forms to really live in other universes or galaxies? In the video below, Ronny Dawson shows some very compelling and exciting evidence that there just may be life on in other realms. For the first time in history. Let us show you once and for all aliens are real. You will see the top side of a UFO Mothership and the creatures on it. This video is the culmination of 3 years of research and video enhancement of a amazing 7 seconds of video captured of a UFO over North Central Texas.The images here are real. The images have been run through filters to enhance clarity but in no way have been manufactured or created.What you see here is the actual surface of the craft and the mystery.
Area 51, AKA Dreamland or Groom Lake, is the most mysterious “top-secret military test facility” in the world. New technologies vital to United States national security are developed here. Insiders claim that even recovered spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin are studied and test flown at Area 51. Many strange stories speak of government involvement with alien technology and the recovery of alien spacecraft while other stories speak of incredible underground bases and exotic “new world order” technologies designed for global “mind-control” warfare. However, recently obtained government documents now reveal a connection between US military “black budget programs” and alien technology at Area 51.
In a three-year investigation, a German film crew dove deeply into the secrets of “Dreamland” and Area 51, interviewing top scientists and security personnel who worked inside Area 51 and claim to have seen what can only now be described as alien spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin.
This program presents the facts about these amazing discoveries and includes stunning film footage of the remarkable flight maneuvers of these mysterious alien spacecraft secretly recorded during test flights at Area 51.
This is huge info that has been supressed. Please take the time to listen to both parts. Part 1 contains NEVER BEFORE HEARD information about the clear presence of ET life on earth. PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!
Part 2 contains a very interesting interview with a man who witnessed a ufo. He had gotten in his truck in a hope to get to wherever the UFO was in the desert. He was confronted by two military vehicles and men got out of the vehicles and pointed guns at him. HUGE!

New research confirms there are some major similarities between these reports and those of sleep paralysis.
Indeed, these hallucinogenic nightmares may even be classified as type of dark lucid dreams.
To the uninitiated this may sound like an odd claim, but those who are familiar with sleep paralysis and the nature of lucidity can draw some compelling connections.
So if you believe you are the subject of an alien abduction (or similar experience involving any kind of night-time visitation by demons, shadow people, ghosts and ghouls) take heart that your terrifying experience may all have been a cruel trick of the mind…
A History of Alien Abduction
The phenomenon of alien abduction has been around for over half a century – with the first famous report originating in 1957.
Never before in history did anyone talk about slender aliens with big heads stealing us away in our sleep… until the phenomenon was first reported in the mainstream media and the idea got into our heads.
The timing, of course, coincided with The Space Race and Yuri Gagarin’s landmark achievement of becoming the first human in space. The media excitement probably helped fuel the ongoing sci-fi literature boom.
Indeed, it was science fiction that gave us the first example of alien abduction. In 1946, Planet Comics published a strip in which aliens used a luminous tractor beam to kidnap a female earthling they called Specimen 9.
These alone are not good enough reasons to dismiss the claims of alien abductees. But should we really be surprised that, now lodged in the cultural consciousness, life began to imitate art…?
What Are The Odds?
According to studies, millions of Americans believe they have been abducted in their beds at night. Why so many? Do aliens really have an insatiable need to probe our puny human bodies so much? Biologically, we’re all members of the same species so what’s with the need for 1,000,000+ separate abductions?
The numbers just don’t add up. I’m not saying millions of people are lying about the whole thing. I believe their experiences are real – at least, real for them.
The real reason millions of people feel they have been visited by aliens is because there is something fundamental in human nature causing this experience.
Many sleep researchers believe that night-time abductions are a culmination of natural physiological and psychological processes of the human body. In other words, it’s a freaky deaky mind trick.
Alien abductees are not crazy, delusional, nor insane. They’re the victims of cultural influence (the way horror movies infect your nightmares) combined with a common sleep disorder called sleep paralysis.
Sleep Paralysis
Every night, we all enter a bodily state of REM atonia - where our muscles become unresponsive to the firing of motor neurons in the brain. This safety mechanism prevents us from acting out our dreams.
The few parts of the body which remain untouched by REM atonia are the eyeballs (hence, Rapid Eye Movement), chest (so you can breathe normally) and perhaps some extremities like fingertips and lips.
Sometimes, on the verge of sleep or when you are stirring from a slumber, you can mentally awaken and become aware of the REM atonia before it wears off. It’s a slight disconnect between brain and body – and while not dangerous, the results can be extremely disturbing if you don’t understand what’s happening.
Some people experience this every single night; others will never experience it in their entire lives. Being awake during REM atonia is known as sleep paralysis and the likelihood of it happening is thought to increase when you suffer from narcolepsy, sleep deprivation or jet lag.
If you wake up in the night and are unable to move, what happens? Most people tend to panic. The harder they try to move their arms and legs, the more obvious it becomes that something is blocking their will to move.
It can feel like a lead weight holding your body down and your chest may feel like it is being crushed. (It isn’t, of course, but the feeling of paralysis can be so alien in itself you become wholly focused on that restricted movement.)
Sleep paralysis can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, and while not dangerous, it can be extremely mentally disturbing.
But where do the aliens come in?
Sleep Paralysis Hallucinations
As if the experience of sleep paralysis wasn’t disturbing enough, your mind (in a state of panic and confusion) can take it to whole new levels of horror.
Fueled by the bizarre circumstances of waking up paralyzed, your half-asleep mind may try to make sense of the experience by creating nightmarish hallucinations to “explain” what’s happening. Like dreams, these explanations are drawn from our subconscious beliefs about reality – including religious and cultural interpretations.
In the 18th century, Germanic folklore and personal experience led John Henry Fuseli to paint The Nightmare, featuring a woman in sleep paralysis. Like many reports of the time, her chest was compressed by an incubus (male sex demon) while the head of a horse (mare) looked on with ghoulish, featureless eyes…
The experience of hallucinations during sleep paralysis is so old, in fact, that even the original meaning of the word “nightmare” relates to this phenomenon. Nightmare is derived from mara, a Scandinavian mythological term referring to a spirit sent to torment or suffocate sleepers by pressing weight on their chests.
Alien Abduction Hallucinations
As our science and literature developed over the ages, so did our cultural beliefs. In the Western world, we’re not so much enslaved by the idea of sexual demons as we are extra terrestrials and pan-dimensional beings. It doesn’t take a giant leap of the imagination to go from incubus attacks to alien ones.
The blueprint is already there. Many alien abduction reports share the same features, which you can now relate to a typical experience of sleep paralysis:
It occurs in the night, waking the victim from sleep.
The victim feels completely paralyzed.
The victim feels a strong sense of fear.
An intruder enters the room and moves menacingly to the victim.
The intruder molests the victim and/or crushes their chest.
This continues until the victim returns to full sleep or full wakefulness.
If you enter a dream from a half-awake, half-asleep alien abduction experience, it will likely follow the thread of being taken aboard a spaceship. You may go on to dream vividly about floating out your bedroom window, aboard a ship, and being prodded and probed – just as science fiction has taught us to expect. As with lucid dreaming, the course of this semi-conscious dream is largely directed by your expectations.
And So To Lucid Dreams...
How, then, do alien abductions and sleep paralysis relate to lucid dreams?
It was Dr Stephen LaBerge, a leading lucid dream researcher, who famously pointed out that sleep paralysis is not something to be feared… but to be encouraged and embraced and used as a stepping stone to the world of lucid dreams.
The main reason sleep paralysis is so scary is because people don’t understand what’s happening. They may think they are dying, passing into the afterlife, going to hell – and, yep, even being abducted by aliens.
Now that you know the biological explanation of sleep paralysis, is it really as scary? You are primed with knowledge that, while the paralysis is genuine, it is a safe and natural mechanism created to protect your dream sleep. And while any hallucinations may be disturbing, they are no more real than a vivid nightmare.
What’s more, you can control the outcome of these hallucinations, much like a lucid dreamer controls the outcome of his dreams. Instead of allowing fear to take over your thoughts, flood your mind with warm and positive emotions like love and happiness. Sounds cheesy? Absolutely. But it will stop the intruder in its tracks. If you then imagine entering a beautiful dreamscape like a beach or mountain top, you will suddenly arrive there, all the while convert your experience into a vivid lucid dream. No complaints there.
Final Thoughts
As explorers of the sleep-wake border, we are more prone to encountering sleep paralysis from time to time. This is not a bad thing! As experts point out, your beliefs and attitudes to sleep paralysis directly affect the outcome.
Bring your fear along and it will predictably turn into your worst nightmare. Bring peace and courage, and you can turn it into amazing lucid dreams and unimaginable states of bliss.
This, too, can apply to the alien abduction experience…

What a coincidence! As to refereed journals and ufos I recently informed Seth Shostak of Dr. Bruce Maccabee's paper "Still In Default", notably "Non-publication of Scientific Papers" (pp 12-20) and the scientific article "Inflation-Theory Implications for Extraterrestrial Visitation" by Dr. J. Deardorff, Dr. B. Haisch, Dr. B. Maccabee and Dr. H.E. Puthoff, which was published in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society (JBIS) in 2005 (http://www.ufoskeptic.org). So, when I found this article yesterday it sounded very familiar to me. ;)
Kind regards.

ABSTRACT (from Still In Default, updated version 1998/2004)
"For nearly 40 [more than 50] years, the science establishment has ignored the UFO problem,relegating it to the domain of "true believers and mental incompetents" (a.k.a. "kooks and nuts"[according to former editor John Howard of Applied Optics magazine]). Scientists have participated in a "self-cover-up" by refusing to look at the credible and well reported data. Furthermore, some of those few scientists who have studied UFO data have published explanations which are unconvincing or just plain wrong and have "gotten away with it" because most of the rest of the scientific community has not cared enough to analyze these explanations. The general rejection of the scientific validity of UFO sightings has made it difficult to publish analyses of good sightings [in refereed journals of establishment science]. Examples are presented of the scientific-self-cover-up involving erroneous explanations, refusal to look at the data, and rejection of papers for publication. How long wi ll this situation last? Forty [fifty] years is long enough [too long]."
Radioastronomer Seth Shostak, last making headlines in May alongside colleague Dan Wertheimer by appearing on Capitol Hill to appeal for congressional SETI funding, is one of the nicest, brightest and most approachable scientists you’ll ever want to meet. Even during disagreements over The Great Taboo, the SETI Institute’s senior astronomer is unfailingly cordial. So when British chemist Erol Faruk tuned into a podcast in which Shostak asked listeners to send him “just one good example” of UFO evidence, Faruk took him at his word.
Sometimes it just doesn't matter how prepared you are .../CREDIT: www.pintinterest.com
The results of Faruk’s quixotic quest for a fair hearing from Shostak and mainstream science have just been released in his self-published ebook on Amazon. It pretty much strips away the myth that institutional scholars would welcome Great Taboo data if Only They Had Decent Stuff To Study. Its title is a mouthful - The Indisputable Scientific Evidence for a UFO Landing and Deposition (aka The Delphos Case) that was denied Publication by Scientific journals — but it’s a relatively succinct reiteration of the hallmark timidity that characterizes — or more aptly, impedes — America’s learning curve into terra incognita.
First, Erol Faruk has what exclusive groups like to call standing. He has a PhD in chemistry, worked research posts at Oxford and Nottingham universities, and became a development chemist at the corporation that became GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals. He has published peer-reviewed papers in arcane industry journals such as Helvetica Chimica Act, and The Journal of Antibiotics. He holds several formula patents. He speaks the language.
Years ago, Faruk got interested in the 1971 Delphos, Kan., UFO case. No need to rehash the whole thing here, you can read all about it online, but what sucked him in was the ring of glowing soil it left behind. The family took pictures moments after the UFO took off, local media and law enforcement converged on the scene, and the ring scars lingered long afterwards. Fungal growth was the chief suspect at the top of the conventional explanations list, but it couldn’t account for the temporary blindness alleged by one witness, nor the numbing sensation reported by another who touched the glowing earth when it was still fresh.
Faruk, years later, subjected several grams of affected soil to chemical analysis and discovered some puzzling behaviors in the sample compounds, including an apparent paradox in water soluble and water repellent properties. Most intriguing to him was how, as he would later write, the UFO “appears to have contained within its periphery an aqueous solution of an unstable compound whose likely sole function would be light emission.” Many UFOs are reported to glow. Maybe these trace effects held implications above and beyond this single event.
Faruk’s research was published in the Journal of UFO Studies in 1989. Analytical chemist Phyllis Budinger later weighed in with her own study. Budinger interpreted some of Faruk's findings differently, but she also discovered complexities that he had missed. JUFOS published Budinger's work in 2002.
Their combined efforts vanished with little comment. Faruk figured maybe that was because they were circulated in narrow-niche publications, and that it needed more eyes. So he decided to approach mainstream science journals, starting with Nature, the bible, in 2012. Maybe the exercise was doomed from the beginning, given the title of his paper — “The search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence on earth; strong chemical and physical evidence for the existence of an unconventional luminescent aircraft (commonly called a UFO) observed by multiple witnesses at a farm in Delphos, Kansas, USA.” Ugh, that acronym again. But this is where things get interesting.
After being initially rejected outright since his work had been previously published, Faruk explained how the paper could be reworked to satisfy Nature’s exemptions to that rule. But the Nature editor declined to even run it past journal referees. He said he was “unable to conclude that the work provides the sort of firm advance in general understanding that would warrant publication.”
(De Void will interject at this point that De Void would have run with the editors’ names. Faruk stated in an email “I didn't wish to put any names on journal editors, since this isn't a personal issue. Each of the editors have to watch their own backs anyway, and aren't likely to risk their own careers by publishing material their bosses might not be happy about.” De Void would rgue the unnamed editors could earn brownie points among fraternal colleagues by being recognized for standing firm against The Great Taboo, but whatever ...)
Anyhow, Faruk shopped it to the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, which informed him “the subject matter is not within the [journal’s] publication scope.” When Faruk reminded the editor a UFO-related paper had been published in its ostensibly unsullied pages seven years earlier, the editor retorted that was under another regime. “As I am Editor of JBIS,” he assured Faruk, “it is not my policy to promote the publication of UFO report papers.” The same editor admitted he hadn’t even read Faruk’s paper, “although I am sure it is a good read.” And oh, btw, “This is not to say it isn’t a worthwhile ‘phenomenon’ to study, I just don’t believe JBIS should be the home of such studies, where a higher standard of scientific rigor is required.”
Ouch. And without even reading it. Faruk would later discover JBIS had run yet another UFO article — alien abductions, actually — in 2010. JBIS declined to respond to Faruk's subsequent appeals for additional discourse.
Enter Seth Shostak’s encouraging podcast solicitation for UFO evidence. So Faruk forwarded his material to the guy. “I’m not a chemist, so can’t really speak to how unusual this ring was,” Shostak wrote back. “... And beyond that, the SETI Institute doesn’t investigate UFO sightings (we don’t have the staff ... we’re a very small group.”)
Oy vay!
We can solve this riddle -- but first we have to know it's in the approved category/CREDIT: braininjurysociety.com
Faruk wrote back with emphasis on the “potentially chemiluminescent substance” that could put the evidence into a “special category.” Shostak responded that “Odd arrangements (of) unusual material ... could have prosaic explanations” falling far short of a smoking gun. Faruk wrote that was the whole point, to put it out there to encourage more investigation: “The only thing I can think of as a ‘clincher’ is to do an isotopic analysis of the precipitated soil compound and check for anomalies.
Shostak’s riposte: “What I would suggest is that you submit this to a refereed journal.”
(De Void: EEEEEEEEE!!)
Faruk told Shostak he’d already been rebuffed by JBIS. Shostak wrote “Too bad, Erol. JBIS would have been one of those I would have recommended.”
So, eight months after telling it to the hand, Faruk approached JBIS again, going through its website channels. Same editor, same response: “Please don’t take the rejection personally. It is simply my editorial policy to not publish UFO papers. This is not because I don’t think that field of study is worthy but because I think there are other more fitting journals which specialise in this area and JBIS does not, by my choice.” Said editor referred him to other UFO magazines.
Faruk protested again. The editor restated his policy, and that of his advisory board, none of whom had read Faruk’s article, either. “I agree it’s one of the biggest scientific problems,” conceded the JBIS boss. “Keep in mind that NASA and ESA scientists publish in JBIS. How would they feel about it? It’s a tough one. Need to maintain academic credibility. But I say again, this doesn’t devalue the worth of your work. Keep doing it.”
Shostak actually seemed to sympathize with Faruk, and added, “I know that it sounds as if the world is against this, but that’s really not true. The International Journal of Astrobiology publishes stuff that’s controversial if the referee feels that the evidence presented is decent.”
So Faruk went to the IJA. The IJA editor replied “This is not a rigorous research paper.” Faruk asked for clarification. “We need detailed chemical analyses not just morphological analyses,” the editor countered. “In my opinion you have the ground for the formation of a hypothesis, but not the proof. Suggest a few alternative hypotheses and test them experimentally as well.”
Faruk: “If there is someone out there who could suggest another explanation, I would be interested to hear it. But in order to do that, the paper needs to be published to allow alternative explanations to be forwarded. I cannot myself — in all honesty — suggest an alternative hypothesis.” The IJA locked the door this time.
Faruk approached yet another journal, called simply Astrobiology. Response: “We are unable to publish your manuscript as UFO’s do not fall within the scope of our Journal.”
Faruk continued to bounce ideas off Shostak, who was clearly at the end of his rope with Faruk’s persistence: “You could always go for a self-published book. I have a stack of those, actually ... so yours wouldn’t necessarily stand out, unless what you say is quite different.” Bottom line, Shostak declined altogether any further speculation with Faruk on the Delphos mystery.
Wonder if that podcast offer to evaluate UFO data still stands ...
The Hummingbird Pyramid in La Mana, Ecuador was only discovered a year ago and considered a paleo-sanskrit wonder. The complex includes 17 structures. Interestingly, they greatly resembles ones found in Bosnia, Indonesia, Herzegovina. From this great posting about it:The apex of the Hummingbird Pyramid is situated closely along the 1° south latitude, 7,472 miles from the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. This sacred geopositioning relationship between the Great Pyramid and the La Maná pyramid complex was visually expressed in the designs of the UV fluorescent Third-Eye Pyramid and World Map stone artifacts. A pair of palm-sized octagonal stone disks engraved with UV fluorescent circles reference the mandala of Sanskrit tradition that has been decoded in previous works as the quantum iterated function, expressing the global distribution pattern of infrasound, standing waves.
A great deal of research needs to be made, but obviously, this interesting find says much about the ancient civilization of highly intelligent people who once inhabited the earth.
UFO sighting above Toronto, Canada on 27th July 2014
UFO sighting above Toronto, Canada on 27th July 2014
New interesting video footage of a bright UFO sighting recorded in the night sky above Toronto, Canada on 27th July 2014.
Witness said: It was really high up, and was round, bright, and shining. At first I thought it was stars or something, but it was too bright to be. I didn’t know what it was. It was a really bright orbital object…glowing! Stayed in one spot for about 10-15 mins but then started moving towards South/West towards Yonge/Sheppard… then disappeared out of my sight. Check out my other video that shows the object moving towards South/West…near Yonge and Finch. First saw it around 9:15 pm last night.

He has degrees in geography and engineering science, and teaches classes in meteorology, physics, astronomy, geography, geology, statistics and physical science. Pares believes he has unlocked the key to warp technology, and that he and his team of engineers and graduate students have constructed a working warp engine that demonstrates the technology.
Last time we talked with Pares he had tested the warp effect on lasers. However, now he has an engine, and is building a UAV that he hopes he will be able to propel with a warp engine. He has patents on the warp technology, and has formed the company Space Warp Dynamics, LLC.
