Daily 2 Cents: Flying Ring Over St.Paul, MN — Hartland Hairy Thing Update — Mountain Man
Daily 2 Cents: Flying Ring Over St.Paul, MN — Hartland Hairy Thing Update — Mountain Man
St.Paul, MN – 7/29/2014: I was looking up into the sky, like I usually do when I’m outside. I saw what at first I thought was a plane moving pretty fast way in the hell up there but something looked off about the shape. I went inside and grabbed my Nikon D3100 with a 55-200 MM zoom lens to get a better look.
It was moving pretty fast, think cruising speed, made no sound and was pretty high up there so it had to be a decent size.
It was moving in a straight line so is was not a drifting balloon – besides it moved too fast for that though I understand that wind speeds up there are not the same at ground level. – MUFON CMS
More mulch churned up by deer and by whatever made those 4-5 inch tracks, a strange “paw” print on the house siding, and a family even more perplexed about what’s lurking literally in their back yard–these were what fellow investigator Jay Bachochin and I found on a return to the residential site in Hartland where a woman saw a six-foot tall, upright wolf-like creature cross her back yard at 1:30 a.m. the night of July 17-18, 2014.
I invited Bachochin, founder of the WPI (Wisconsin Paranormal Investigators) to help conduct a more thorough search of the grounds. The owners also graciously invited us to use their deck for a late night stakeout. We were able to sit quietly in the dark with a perfect view of the yard, cameras at the ready, and confirmed that the eyewitness would indeed have been able to see and identify a large creature from that position. We also spent some time viewing the neighborhood by foot and by car to see just how much cover there was for a large predator — and found a surprising amount of wooded ground that would allow it to make its rounds and then escape to a freeway corridor (US Hwy 16) when ready to return to the lake-and-park-rich surrounding area.

My bosses want me fired because I believe in ghosts
A Department of Veterans Affairs cop, convinced his former New Jersey workplace is haunted by evil spirits, says the feds are using his belief in ghosts as an excuse to fire him, The Post has learned.
The spooky story pits Valdo Vaher, 48, a retired Army sergeant and former lieutenant in the New York Guard, against the VA, where he began working in 2006. Vaher, who lives in Rockland County, defiantly insists otherworldly phenomena are real.
“This seems strange to some people, but for religious Catholics like myself, many feel as I do about this — that there are spirits in the world and they sometimes show themselves and are more likely to be doing this in and around hospitals, where people suffer and die,” he told The Post.
The VA initiated a long and bitter legal battle to permanently exorcise Vaher because, it charges, he’s basically too crazy to be a cop.
At one point he actually was fired. But in 2013, a judge for the Merit Systems Protection Board in Washington ordered he be re-hired.
As part of a settlement, he was reassigned from the Manhattan VA Hospital to a facility in East Orange, NJ.
In February, he was stripped of his gun, placed on modified duty and reassigned to another New Jersey facility for “making bizarre statements and displaying unusual behaviors,” according to a letter from VA Deputy Police Chief Bernais McNeil.
Vaher was chided for giving a hair-raising talk to a rookie colleague about how their East Orange command was haunted by “evil spirits” — comments the agency suggested posed a safety risk to his co-workers and warranted his dismissal.
“You should stay away from certain areas here because there are evil spirits. I will give you some holy salts to ward off these evil spirits,” Vaher is quoted as having told the rookie.
Vaher is also alleged to have said, “Watch out for certain trees because they have faces and I just have a bad vibe with them” and “People around this area are animals.”
Vaher, who holds dual US-Estonian citizenship and who served in that country’s military, was an MP at West Point for nearly a decade and worked as a civilian observer in Kosovo for the State Department in 1998, a position that required him to brief the White House on a daily basis.
Vaher’s lawyer, Alan Wolin, accused the VA of “using psychology as a weapon, just like in the old Soviet Union” and insists the agency doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance of winning its case against him.
“They’ve been targeting him since Day One,” he said. “The bottom line is that they tried and failed to fire him twice before and we’re extremely confident we’ll win again.”
The VA formally notified Vaher this month of its latest plan to cast him out.
But Vaher still won’t back away from his claims that the VA’s East Orange site is haunted by ghostly apparitions.
“There are many people who work there who would tell you privately that there are spirits in that place and lots of them,” he said.
“There’s a lot of paranormal activity there. The police know it. The janitors know it. And the nursing people know it. They all know it — especially the people who work the night shift,” he said.
I like hiking. It’s a relaxing activity for me. I just walk over rugged terrain and think about what’s happened, what’s happening and most importantly, what’s going to happen. I’d been an avid hiker all my life, but, we moved to Kansas, my family and I. Not much opportunity for a good hike. So I always leap at the offer of going to see my cousins because they lived in Colorado and it had mountains and whatnot. I never carry a walking stick when I hike, I’m young and agile and don’t really need one.
Going on these hikes I always expected to meet at least one person, but I usually met a lot more. So you can see why I was concerned when I didn’t see a soul on the mountain. Well, I say I didn’t see anyone, but almost right when I started I saw a shoe. A size 8 women’s shoe. One shoe.
I had heard of the Vancouver feet so I hesitated to look inside for the shoe size. No severed foot. Just a shoe. But I did notice rustling leaves as I neared the shoe, shrugging it off thinking it was a bird or something. I took the shoe because I like to return things to their rightful owner. Like when I see someone drop their keys on the way out of a busy place I rush to get them to the person. I’m a nice guy. But once I picked up the shoe, I heard above me some twigs snapping and they fell to the ground. I looked up only to see the sunlight peaking through the trees. So whatever was up there was hidden by sunlight. Today was a clear day not a cloud in the sky. Beautiful. I continued on with the shoe. It’s probably good to mention I only had a pack of about 4 water bottles and a couple granola bars. So in short, not much stuff. About, 15 minutes later (I can’t measure distance with time), I found a water bottle, empty. I hate litter so I picked it up and didn’t think anything of it. Again I heard birds in the trees, they seemed to be following me.
I had gone a while and was thinking about my girlfriend and how I could tell her for the first time that I loved her, because I did and I knew she did, me. But I saw another empty shoe, a men’s size 11. I picked it up and that’s when I noticed the sun went dim. I looked up expecting clouds but that didn’t make sense it was a clear day. Instead I saw a man. In the trees. He wasn’t sitting on a branch but he was like a cat upside down as the tree would go up, clinging to it with abnormally large nails. He had a big scraggly beard, a full head of hair and a thin almost starved body. He was naked but I didn’t see anything extra, if you know what I mean. It was bare. Like a doll.
He wasn’t a doll though he was very human(ish). He didn’t act like it though. He was licking his lips as though he hadn’t eaten in weeks. He looked the part, too. Although I couldn’t see his face, I could hear him smacking his lips. I decided it wasn’t a good idea to talk to him. But he had made an effort to be noticed. I wasn’t scared for my life I was frightened at the pose he took as he landed on the ground. His arms were outstretched until his elbows bent 90 degrees to support himself with his hands. His legs were the exact same, they were abnormally positioned for legs.
He (I don’t know how else to say this) skittered towards me. His hair had always been in his face ever since the tree. But he looked up at me. His eyes were dark green all over. His nose was misshapen as if broken. His smile was big but not inhumanly big. The thing that made me fear for my life was his teeth. They were inhuman. They were pointed like a wild animal and stained red in some places and yellow in others. I dropped the shoes and booked it.
I didn’t look back, I didn’t have to, he dropped from the trees right in front of me. I did my darnedest not to run into him for fear that he’d take a chunk out of me. I slid to a stop. He let out a blood curdling howl as a coyote would once it had caught it’s prey. I assumed that wasn’t in his best interest because after that I heard shouting and the thing skittered off down the mountain then up a tree. Gone from sight. I was petrified there until the shouting came from off the trail and in front of me. The forest rangers, there were two, were barking questions at me. “Did you touch him?” “Did you talk to him?” “Did he talk to you?” All these sort of things. I said shakily, “n-no” the forest ranger had a shotgun with him and his buddy, probably his partner, had some kind handgun. I’m no expert in guns. The mountain man had made his appearance to me and from what I understand from the rangers, he won’t stop hunting. I’m not going hiking by myself again. – Reddit.com
“My neighbor, Lucia Segovia, has even had stones thrown at her house because she’s been told the midgets hide there, and that we’re concealing them,” said local resident Osvaldo Piñeyro.
Subsequent Manifestations
Next, we shall mention only a few incidents subsequent to the matters discussed in this report, which in some way reflect certain similarities both in the description of the beings observed as well as their erratic and unusual behavior.
In December 1983, in the city of Gobernador Ingeniero Valentin Virasoro in the Department of Santo Tomé, Province of Corrientes, several children reportedly saw green, one-eyed creatures in the vicinity of an abandoned house, describing them as “some 60 centimeters tall, wrinkled skin and with piercing gazes.” (6)
During the month of April 1984, several residents of Coghlan, a neighborhood to the north of Buenos Aires, claimed having had face-to-face encounters with the little men, and not only green ones. According to these reports, the creatures sighted were sometimes orange in color, and described as “cute and kindly.” (7)
In August 1988, at School No. 35 (Perito Moreno) in the city of Mar del Plata, several students of that institution claimed having seen small green men. According to their stories, midgets standing some 60 to 80 centimeters tall were seen over three or four consecutive days in the yard, on the rooftops, in the bathrooms or on the water tanks. Despite the students’ claims, school authorities paid no mind to the situation, dismissing it as childish fantasy.
That very same year in Pergamino, on October 28 and around 0:30 hours, a group of four friends witnessed the presence of several little men, describing them as follows: “They were 5 or 6 little men, some 70 centimeters tall, naked, with a single eye, hairless, moving their arms and with three fingers on their hands. They had no wrists and we could not see their feet.”
Additional Thoughts
The case of the little green men left its mark on society, serving as a trigger for subsequent reports of manifestations in various locations, as we have seen. The term even gained popularity due to the famous rock group [Los enanitos verdes] that formed in the city of Mendoza in 1979. But contrary what can be thought a priori, the group took its name from another case that occurred in Mendoza in 1979. This is how Felipe Staiti, guitarist for Los Enanitos Verdes, tells the story: “The year was 1979 and a family of tourists took a photo while visiting Puente del Inca in Mendoza. Upon developing the photo, the family noticed some little green men beside them. No one saw them when the shot was taken, but there they were after the film was developed. This event achieved notoriety and appeared in the local press, and some even say the photo was even sent to NASA to ascertain its authenticity. Whether it was a legend or fact, a journalist friend of ours christened our new group Los Enanitos Verdes of Puente del Inca, and that’s how it appeared in the first chronicle. Band members opted for the first half of the name: “Los Enanitos Verdes”, but they could just as easily have called themselves Puente del Inca.”
The media reached the scene and from there, day after day, confected reports for television news programs that kept viewers in suspense, anxious for more adventures about the reporter of the moment (8). Another aspect to be highlighted were the recent and major movie releases concerning alien beings (some of them truly successful at the national and global level) whose main characters had the characteristic of displaying the typical aspect of the small humanoid.” (9)
There are those who consider – in view of the situation described above – and the media efforts at disseminating these events in an overblown manner and with dubious intent, played a major role in firing the imagination, reflected in the eyewitness accounts, leading people to concoct suggestive stories and narratives. However, stories and narratives of “encounters with strange beings” are not exclusive to our present society or culture. A glimpse at old legends and myths from a variety of cultures should suffice to find several suggestive similarities with such fantastic apparitions.
Thus, in the same way it all started, disturbing the peace of the neighborhood, mobilizing residents and curiosity-seekers alike, creating unusual situations that were not exempt from moments of violence and lack of control, there was no further talk of the diminutive intruders one fine day, leaving behind one of the most bizarre and curious stories regarding the alleged presence of non-human beings in our midst.

They were gathered by the fallen tree. We spent a long time together. It turns out there are little men and little women, and we were all together making love.”
(8) Tiempo magazine for 03.18.2007 made a brief summary of what went on there: “José de Zer prepared a new report for Nuevediario every day; blurry photos of the beings that must unquestionably be extraterrestrials were published in the press. A policeman patrolling the area asked for medical leave on account of having been bitten by one of these creatures. A boy saw one at the school at 72nd and 19th, and classes were called off. Even one of the school secretaries was attacked by the little man, also causing her to request leave. The news went beyond the borders. Researchers from the Swedish UFO Institute arrived to study the phenomenon, but the little men never turned up and the Swedes had all of their equipment stolen (could it have been a little man?). Others took the opportunity to make a little money, like Loco Córdoba, who sold little dolls of “Luciano el Marciano” (Lucian the Martian). Founders of the LUS cult were not to be left behind and called a press conference to say that they had sustained direct communications with “the captain of the spacecraft” and that they were “time travelers.” The cult’s leader, one Andrade, had no luck with his pronouncements. He was prosecuted by the law for defamation of character. People began to lose faith in the little green men. As the phenomenon ran out of steam over time, Jose de Zer went to find UFOs at Mount Uritorco. Loco Córdoba didn’t sell another doll, and no one went camping or spoke again of Martians or midgets in Villa Montoro.”

On 14 July 1983, the movie “El Extraterrestre”, a parody of the Spielberg film, starring Alberto Olmedo and Jorge Porcel, opened nationwide in theaters. On 8 December 1983, The Return of the Jedi by George Lucas, third installment of the Star Wars movies, opened in theaters. In this movie, Master Yoda appears prominently. He is a diminutive being with aged features, pointed ears and green skin.

The witness was touring the property designed by architect Julia Morgan for newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst and was taking photographs about 11:15 a.m. on July 25, 2014. Two days later while reviewing images on a computer, the witness noticed an anomaly in one photograph.
“One picture of the towers on the front of the Hearst mansion had a bird flying in it so I zoomed in to look at the bird and noticed an unidentifiable object towards the top of the picture,” the witness stated. “It does not have wings and appears to be a ‘typical’ flying saucer type object. I did not notice this object when I was actually taking the pictures and no one in my family noticed it that day which leads me to believe it was not making any sound or was too high to be heard.”

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.
“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.”

Don Berliner, former NICAP investigator and director of the mostly dormant Fund For UFO Research, has some ideas on how to jump-start a sober re-evaluation of The Great Taboo that doesn't involve new research: Declassify all the Project Blue Book files (yes, some are still censored more than 40 years later), assemble a team of independent credentialed scientists to render evaluations on the true unknowns, case by case, and air them out in the contemporary public arena. No doubt the effort would run into some bucks, but the cases would come from official government files. And non-government panelists wouldn't likely shy away from criticizing the slipshod work of another federal agency.
De Void rarely features guest bloggers, but at 84, Berliner merits some space here, meager though it be. So here's Don:
Why not use original government data to get it right the second time around?/CREDIT: paranormalknowledge.com
For the past several decades, the private UFO community hasn't moved one inch closer to solving the greatest mystery of the past century. Even worse, we've lost almost all our ability to influence the opinions of members of the scientific community, the mainstream media and most of the governments of the world.
We reached our peak in the mid-1960's when the 14,000-member National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), under the inspired leadership of Donald Keyhoe and Richard Hall, had established highly effective relationships with those vital elements of our society. The media, in particular, regularly came to NICAP for facts and guidance. Today, with two national organizations each collecting more than 500 UFO/UAP reports a month, it would be hard to find a reporter who has any clue that such is happening, with the result being that the public has no idea that strange craft are still being seen.
NICAP's facts were produced by the highly qualified and experienced members of carefully selected investigative sub-committees who went out into the field to find out what had actually happened, not to reinforce anyone's preconceived opinions nor to add to anyone's collection of allegedly unexplained events.
There are changes that can be made to improve the situation:
1. Get rid of "UFO", which to most people means "flying saucer," and that means alien spacecraft. In other words, "UFO" is a conclusion, when it should be no more than a starting point. A replacement is ready and waiting: "UAP," meaning Unexplained Aerial Phenomena. Many of the scientists in the private UFO community have been using this for years.
2. Get rid of "Ufology" and "Ufologist," which strongly imply that the collecting of information and the subsequent study of it constitute a science. It will remain no more than a hobby until we make drastic changes in the way we view the subject and our own involvement.
3. While we're at it, let's add "sincere" to our list of words to be dropped. The category of people most needing to be considered sincere is "con-artist." And while we certainly aren't suggesting that more than an occasional sighting witness deserves to be in that group, using it to describe someone who hasn't been subjected to an extensive background investigation is passing judgement on the basis of emotion, rather than logic.
4. Stress the need for field investigators having advanced educations and/or practical experience in appropriate scientific fields. By including hobbyists and "saucer fans," we are actively discouraging the participation of the very people we need most. Imagine a curious scientist joining a field investigation, only to find himself working alongside someone who is in serious danger of flunking freshman chemistry. The scientist won't be back, while the marginal student will.
5. Forget about trying to influence the U.S. Congress as a way to force the release of a large quantity of withheld government information. Members of Congress lack both the will and the motivation needed to risk their jobs over an issue that promises little beyond embarrassment. Let's face it: one of the easiest ways to replace a sitting member is to accuse him of believing in flying saucers. He or she may be able to withstand personal attacks based on financial or sexual misconduct, but not on something viewed by peers as suggesting a serious lack of common sense.
6. Start using the Hynek "Strangeness/Credibility Scale" to pin-point UFO/UAP reports having the potential for adding to the accumulated knowledge of UFOs/UAPs. Cramming filing cabinets with sightings of meandering night lights amounts to nothing more than wasting time on trivia. It is the quality of cases that will eventually pay off, not the quantity.
7. Perhaps the biggest step we can take in the near-term is to stop behaving like the mystery has been solved and all that remains is to lay out the evidence for the ignorant masses to absorb. In fact, the UFO mystery has not been solved, nor will it be until we have acquired proof, not merely debatable evidence. Just because we haven't been able to come up with logical, non-alien explanations for hundreds of baffling cases doesn't mean that there aren't any. Maybe we have overlooked something subtle that could change the picture.
Just what will constitute proof?
1. Clear, sharp photographs that can be scientifically verified and which show sufficient detail so that they could not possibly be of anything terrestrial.
2. Government documents that can be scientifically confirmed as original (not photocopies), and which include specific information whose authenticity can be checked.
3. Physical evidence such as obviously unusual debris from one or more crashes, whose origins can be traced with confidence and whose properties do not resemble anything found on Earth. The professional scientists or scientific organizations doing the analyses must be willing to sign their names to any reports.
We aren't going to get any of the above by sending out "saucer fans" to interview people who claim to have seen funny lights. We have to start taking the mystery as a serious challenge, and not as entertainment or a way to attract attention to ourselves.
We were told by experts like Carl Sagan, who recently passed, that Earth is too far out in the 'boonies' of our galaxy to merit attention by E.T.s, but he was dead wrong, before he died.
Earth is, and always has been, a crossroads for many highly technological lifeforms. The mean-spirited ones, now doing salvage, are the vestigial remnants of a union that donated their DNA to set up this rare jewel of a preserve.
THAT'S why our planet looms so rare, among millions of other barren worlds, that we now discern in the Universe.
I used to firmly believe that we as predators were at the very top of the food chain.
Then, others who also claimed to be abductees, some of whom I met through Budd Hopkins and his house "get-togethers," told me horror stories about abductions.
They had seen, met on-board craft, an alien race, frightening beings who radiated rage and hatred, reptilian alien overlords of many alien races who abduct humans and who pilot UFOS.
Muscular, winged, sentient, highly technological, upright standing to seven or eight feet tall, sentient UFO monitor lizard reptilians who looked upon us, as we fancied veal.
You see, these abductees had somehow also gleaned what reptoids regular diets consisted of..
Some even admitted to have pierced another horrid 'truth' that they had gleaned:
We are already cocooned within a matrix, elusive and revealing, far from "reality", and please, "Pay no attention to the Reptilian, behind the curtains!"
It was a chilling story I was to hear repeatedly echoed elsewhere.
It re-framed correctly, at least to my mind, what the true M.O. (modus operandi) was, behind this particular alien type and its interaction/visitations with mankind.
We are a 'delectable' chosen people', a harvest-able 'crop' farmed throughout the Universe, with the same impunity that we humans, assert animal husbandry rights over all other creatures, on this preserve, that we call, "Earth".
Stunning, is how blind UFO "skywatchers" and media are simply focused on documenting, reporting only craft and not ever the occupants within, and their intents, motives and tactics, surely an alien- Jedi- mind- trick, at work.
At Bud Hopkin's house, reptilians ate humans and we sipped tea and cookies, discussing it.
It put one in mind of a classic Twilight Zone episode called,"To Serve Man", which neatly summed up man's importance in the galaxy as a main course, not just a mere condiment.
But you and I, reader, should not worry as our flesh by now is too tough, old and tainted with age.
Helmeted with their God masquerade, in the Bible, and fed manna to improve taste, as we feed beef corn for a richer texture in steaks, we are food for thought!
It makes one want to change eating habits, to make an apparent moral decision and assume a vegetarian diet and not ever atavistically revert, despite the fact that we too have mouths intended by evolution to tear flesh, well equipped by nature with excellent meat-tearing incisors.....and fangs.
I had never 'imagined' such creatures!
My abduction recalls were of almost-friendly entities who were masters of illusions, ones who tested me in mind-imposed scenarios of moral dilemmas.
Small job-beings did the kidnapping and answered to taller Greys.
They were tall, white like a refrigerator, flat like a Gumby cartoon character and spoke mind-to-mind.
Extremely controlling and highly psychic, they worked for and answered to reptilian beings.
Were they "evil"?(Earthfiles.com)
Evil is as evil does: kidnapping, rape, telepathic attack, insidious omnipresent micro-managing of our emotions, energies and sexuality through implant drains, treating us as though we were guinea pigs, orchestrating joys, disasters and horrors into our lives to milk us of energy; isn't that enough of a definition?
Evil's unholy three criteria are herein satisfied: predatory, sinister and self-justifying, with these overlord reptilian entities.
I must remind sanguine abductees, who glibly relish, "contactee" as a more apt label, that these entities do not knock on the noonday door and politely ask if you'd "care to be 'abducted', if you've nothing else to do, just now?"
Taken body and spirit, wrapped in REMs, we are instead considered a product, not a sentient entity race worthy of respect and dignity and mutual non-interference..
These farmer- thieves, highly technological and uncannily canny, are very highly psychic.
I wish their morals matched their technology; if it did, they'd be better angels, but as it is, we are saddled mind, body and spirit, and they are a curse, upon the Earth.
These are the demons of the third century, abducting, controlling, nighttime, bedroom visitors, negative-thought entities, who pilot/frequent alien craft UFOs, who view us as their property.
We are, in R.E.M.s, taken, wrapped in a cocoon of delusional vivid screen memories, and kept on this short psychic leash, to be marched around a craft in dulled awareness and suggestive amnesia.
Returned to bed,one later recalls a snippet of an odd, 'dream'.
The best game-keeper never let the creatures within, suspect that it is, indeed, a preserve.
Reptilians are Hollow-Earth, inter dimensional, time-traveling, highly technological beings, whose planet we goof about, unaware of whose image we truly were created in.
Has this been going on from the beginning of time?
Alien reptilians, are as native and terrestrial to our planet as are thunderstorms; they are the game wardens of this preserve, that we call 'Earth, masters of the Universe, both inter dimensional, as well as, inter galactic.
They use the same astral dimension that ghosts and demons use to enter and exit our physical reality.
The lower Earth animal forms seen as reptiles, amphibians, insects are mirrored and echoed by the higher technological forms which have been seen aboard craft who have lent their DNA to create this preserve.
We , too, are constructs of their creative meddling.
When people ask them,"Where are you from?" Where do you come from?", they are often told,"We come from within."
That is, after physical abductions, their possessing energies are deposited, not unlike the lamprey parasites that they are, within the multi layered human psyche/mind.
Could our minds offer protection?
By virtue of the unexpected result, the appearance of a saurian monstrously tall reptilian in the center of my living room who radiated a loathsome palpable rage and hatred, shortly after I tried using a mind-weapon psychic technique, I determined that I would never remotely try any anti-reptilian mental exercise tool again!
(However, a skilled TEAM might en masse bring forth most marvelous results...)
The unused power of our minds is part of the raw quantum physics of the universe and it has latent powers, both miraculous and awesome, as seen in this power flexing exercise that back-fired.
But it brought against me almost immediate retaliation most awful, which underlined its potential efficacy.
Are you capable of being as foolhardy as I was?
With your eyes closed, visualize an alien craft, a disc-shaped or cigar- shaped large UFO, and see it in your mind's eye, perched or flying above our planet or high within our skies, many miles overhead.
Visualize all quadrants of this very large craft, full of overlord reptilians and subservient greys, all busy at machinery; study the tiers and levels of it in full detail for a full half-minute.
Visualize that a force from your mind sharply hits the ship; jar the craft violently and then toss it into another section of space, like a football, end over end.
Clearly see it hurled across a short distance in space, at a tilted pitched angle and visualize/ imagine all entities onboard now suddenly very startled and frightened.
I augmented this visualization, used a quick head tilt to accentuate my strong mental suggestion of the craft's jump.
Distracted elsewhere, I had totally forgotten about this experimental exercise within a half-hour.
But then a creature from a nightmare appeared and changed my life.
A Mothman-like reptilian, a scaled, ceiling-high saurian being semi materialized.
(Earthfiles.com)
Without moving I was suddenly warmed by a massive smoldering feeling of hatred; it surrounded me with menace as though I were near a hot radiator.
Its reddish/yellow eyes radiated a palpable loathing and rage, which amazed and awed me rather than frightened me as I had lost my senses to surprise..
Half monitor lizard, half man, it telepathed an overpowering sense of malice which stopped me in awe. I was much too surprised to feel fear.
The creature vanished after a full 10 seconds.
Later, days and weeks later in my life, that saurian vendetta surely and without question manifested a series of horrid and painful accidents which seemed later to underline the smoldering, tangible hatred and rage that it had radiated towards me.
Emergency surgeries involving neck discs which had completely pinched my spinal cord , and soon after, a drive-by automobile hit and run which had shattered my knee and had nearly almost killed me.
In retrospect, those agonies and sudden misfortunes were not worth the risk of what was, after all, a very foolhardy experiment.
But I couldn't help but wonder how just a single human mind could be such a powerful weapon/tool; it can remotely control unseen overhead alien craft that do indeed respond to powerful telepathic messages.
I later couldn't help but wonder what a highly skilled group of focused minds, an orchestra of minds in unison, might also be able to accomplish.
We are, perhaps, not as helpless against these creatures and their machines, as everyone thinks we are..
America, The Cause and Solution to UFO Research: Jacques Valle to the Rescue
You are here:Home/Paranoia/Aliens/ America, The Cause and Solution to UFO Research: Jacques Valle to the Rescue
The problem with American UFO Research: Jacques Vallee has a Solution
At 1am eastern on July 28th, 2014 we all were able to tune in to one of the most important 2 hours of the year in talk radio, in my opinion of course. George Knapp, long time weekend host for the overnight juggernaut we know and love as Coast to Coast Am, had Jacques Vallee on as a special guest. Jacques sounded well, upbeat and as always full of knowledge that you will not find at your local conference or internet radio show and realistically not on my weekly show either but, we can dare to dream. The fact is if you had to create your own version of a Mount Rushmore of UFO/UAP researchers mine would have Jacques Vallee on it 4 times. You didn’t really expect me to rattle off 3 other researchers did you? It is a fantasy Mount Rushmore and mine will have the same person on it that I know for a fact is not in the field of research for fame, big money or fabulous prizes. The man is a venture capitalist, need I go further in dispelling any idea he is here for money? No? Good. As for the fame and fabulous prizes, he has already had that 40 years ago. I don’t need to go into detailed defenses on a mans credibility because Jacques Vallee is the only one for sure that is not lying to me.
American UFO research is predicated on a few things and one of which that holds up the entire field is the propriety of collected data. That’s right, the data that various research organizations, feel free to name your own alphabet soup group if you wish to fill in the blank, is locked away for safe keeping or worse minimized. Why? Well, there are various legalities that can be trotted out about how it’s a step to protect the abductee/witness which is of course necessary. What happens next is a side effect that not many intended and has been perpetuated for decades. The data dies a slow death in a hard drive or folder creating what I call a Mind Cemetery, literally. The events, ideas, thoughts, feelings and facts get hidden from the world. Most importantly, other research organizations.
When I call the data from cases collected proprietary then I mean it becomes theirs to do so as they wish. Most organizations, big & small alike hold onto the data for the purpose up pitching it to a production company as a way to get more exposure/interest/memberships. In the cases of individual researchers it seems that the case data slides right into whatever narrative that researcher is promoting. This is where it gets greasy. This is the breeding ground of the mentally disturbed, ever vigilant, never questioning and always praising… fan or the long version fanatic. Now, a symbiotic relationship exists that must be feed, nurtured to grow bigger and inevitably less intelligent, like a mindless rabble. It pays well to have a big tent. It pays well to play to an already paranoid base by blaming the same Gub’ment boogy-man. It’s safe and we all hate the boogy-man.
The solution that Jacques Vallee spoke of is simple: Develop an international database, Yes this means you too America.
A one-stop shop internet database of every piece of digital or soon to be digitally converted data from all UFO/UAP research organizations in America. Lofty? More like impossible. With the field the way it is now and the same old language being used it’s looking more and more like researchers using Unidentified Aerial Phenomena are on the right track. The less people who keep using pseudoscience labels such as Ufologist the better. Change the language, open the faults and increase the collective knowledge. Forget the fantasy of Disclosure. That ship has sail and caught fire like a viking funeral. If any alien visitor et al. wanted to let you know they were here they would do so themselves. Asking a congressperson to watch a DVD and then bring it to the floor for discussion is career suicide in/out of election years. These things we know to be obvious but, for some reason the band plays on. Propriety.
Ask, Why?
Ask your favorite UAP research organization, be it one you are in or one you follow closely, because they gained your trust. Is this organization willing to participate in an international data base? If not, why? I bet you hear about witness/abductee confidentiality concerns which are very real and should not be taken lightly. That is unless you get some cash flashed at you then the books come flying open. That was proven the fact with a highly popular organization and an independent space pioneer. Notice how the concerns for the public’s best interests melt away with cool cash. I leave it up to the community, the culture that we have right now and the people most interested in the subject to call their local researcher tell them you want your case to be apart of a national database like Jacques Vallee has discussed. I understand the server requirements, logistics and such need to be worked out. They get worked out a lot sooner the more interest that comes Jacques Vallee’s way.
Be proactive and push the UAP researchers as individuals and organizations to work with Jacques Vallee.
Jacques Vallee is worthy of the communities trust.
De enkele-oorspronghypothese of Out of Africa-theorie is een recent model om het ontstaan van de moderne mens te verklaren. De moderne mens zou in Afrika zijn ontstaan en na vertrek uit Afrika de plaats hebben ingenomen van de ‘archaïsche’ mensen, die allemaal uitgestorven zijn.
Volgens de Australische historicus Greg Jefferys is het uit-Afrikamodel een mythe, die inmiddels volledig is ontkracht door genetici. Een recente studie van Anatole A. Kljosov en Igor L. Rozhanskii laat zien dat mensen een ‘gemeenschappelijke voorouder’ hebben die ‘niet noodzakelijkerwijs uit Afrika komt’. Het is nooit bewezen dat deze voorouder in Afrika leefde, aldus de onderzoekers.
Tijdens het onderzoek naar 7556 verschillende haplotypen troffen de wetenschappers geen Afrikaanse genen aan. Door de afwezigheid van Afrikaanse genen is het bijna onmogelijk om een link met Afrika te leggen. Volgens de onderzoekers is er genoeg reden om de Out of Africa-theorie te herzien en is het aannemelijker dat zowel Afrikanen als niet-Afrikanen afstammen van een gemeenschappelijke voorouder.
De onderzoekers merken op dat geen van de 400 niet-Afrikaanse deelnemers tijdens het project positief testte op de 13 ‘Afrikaanse’ subcladen van haplogroep A. Het is dus onwaarschijnlijk dat de voorouder van de mens in Afrika leefde.
Wetenschappers hebben vastgesteld dat minstens 20 procent van het menselijk DNA afkomstig is van andere hominide soorten die niet zijn geclassificeerd als Homo sapiens, waaronder de neanderthaler, Homo denisova, archaïsche Homo sapiens, Homo erectus en zelfs ‘Hobbit’ (Floresmens).
Genetisch gezien is de mens een hybride die niet afstamt van jager-verzamelaars uit Afrika. Uit recente sequencing van genomen blijkt dat leden van verschillende oude mensachtige groepen, waaronder ook een nog onbekende menselijke voorouder, meer dan 30.000 jaar geleden geslachtsgemeenschap hadden. “Er waren vele hominide populaties,” aldus geneticus Mark Thomas van het University College London.
In het DNA van de Denisova-mens hebben Amerikaanse wetenschappers onlangs genetische sporen van een mysterieuze mensensoort ontdekt. Uit de DNA-fragmenten blijkt dat deze soort geslachtsgemeenschap had met andere mensachtigen die 30.000 jaar geleden in Azië leefden, maar niet tot de neanderthalers of Homo sapiens behoorden.
VIDEO: Duitsland in de ban van reusachtige graancirkel
Vele duizenden mensen worden naar een mysterieuze graancirkel in het Duitse Beieren getrokken. De formatie, die afgelopen week werd ontdekt in de gemeente Raisting, heeft een diameter van 75 meter en bestaat uit drie ringen.

De graancirkel werd gespot vanuit een luchtballon, waarna het nieuws zich als een lopend vuurtje verspreidde op internetfora, meldt Bild. “Ze zongen, dansten, speelden gitaar en sliepen zelfs in het weiland,” aldus een lokale bewoonster over de bezoekers.
Veel bezoekers geloven dat de graanformatie niet is gemaakt door mensen, meldt de Süddeutsche Zeitung. “Dit is een technologie die we nog niet onder de knie hebben,” vertelde één van de bezoekers aan de krant. “Ze willen ons laten zien dat ze hier zijn en dat ze van ons houden.”
De graancirkel ligt vlak bij een oud-communicatiestation dat in 1969 werd gebruikt om de eerste maanlanding uit te zenden in Europa.
Christoph Huttner, de boer die eigenaar is van de grond, zei dat hij de graancirkel niet heeft gemaakt. “Dit is erg moeilijk om te doen,” zei hij. “Ik weet niet hoe ze dit hebben gedaan. Er zijn geen bandensporen te zien, helemaal niets.” De schade bedraagt een paar honderd euro.
Miriam Schäfer (31): “Ik heb de cirkel via Facebook ontdekt, ben er direct naartoe gegaan. Ik geloof dat dit het werk is van buitenaardsen.” (Robert Gongoll)
Schotland maakt een grote kans om tegen 2018 de eerste Britse basis voor ruimteveren te huisvesten. Dat schrijft de BBC. Het Britse ministerie weerhield acht potentiële locaties voor haar ruimtehaven - de eerste in zijn soort buiten de VS - en zes daarvan liggen in Schotland.
Het nieuws werd bekendgemaakt tijdens de Farnborough Airshow. "Ruimtehavens zullen de laatste barrière voor commerciële ruimtevluchten doorbreken", zei viceminister van Begroting Danny Alexander tijdens zijn speech.
De minister benadrukte de band die Schotland met de ruimtevaart heeft. "We vierden Neil Armstrongs Schotse afkomst toen hij als eerste man naar de maan ging en vorige week nog was een Schots bedrijf verantwoordelijk voor de bouw van de eerste satelliet van het UK Space Agency." UKube-1 werd gebouwd door de firma Clyde Space uit Glasgow en werd succesvol gelanceerd voor een testvlucht vanuit Kazachstan.
De Schotse regering juicht het nieuws toe. "Enkel de Schotse onafhankelijkheid zou tot een nog grotere ontwikkeling van de groeiende ruimtevaartindustrie leiden", klinkt het.
Toerisme Mogelijke locaties voor de eerste Britse ruimtehaven zijn in Schotland Stornoway Airport, Kinloss Barracks, RAF Lossiemouth, RAF Leuchars, Glasgow Prestwick Airport en Campbeltown Airport en in Engeland Llanbedr Airport en Newquay Cornwall Airport.
De eerste Britse ruimtehaven zal in eerste instantie vooral dienen als een faciliteit voor satellietlanceringen. Maar de Britse regering hoopt dat het ook een centrum wordt voor nieuwe toeristische initiatieven van Virgin Galactic en XCor, die van plan zijn ruimtevluchten aan te bieden voor een betalend publiek.
Uit cijfers van de overheid blijkt dat de ruimtevaartsector een van de snelst groeiende industrieën is in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. De sector levert jaarlijks meer dan 11 miljard pond (13,8 miljard euro) op voor de Britse economie en stelt 34.000 mensen tewerk - een stijging van bijna negen procent sinds 2011. De ministers hopen tegen 2030 tien procent van de globale ruimtevaartmarkt in handen te hebben, wat 100.000 bijkomende banen zou kunnen opleveren.
Elon Musk, de oprichter en directeur van het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbedrijf SpaceX, wil in de toekomst de planeet Mars koloniseren. Dat vertelde de zakenman in 'The Colbert Report', de talkshow van Stephen Colbert.
Musk is tevens medeoprichter van betaaldienst PayPal en van Tesla Motors, dat elektrische auto's produceert. Tegenwoordig profileert hij zich als pionier op het gebied van commerciële ruimtevaart.
Een van zijn doelen is om over twee tot drie jaar tijd mensen met zijn Dragon 2-ruimteschip naar het internationale ruimtestation ISS te brengen, maar daar blijft het wat de 43-jarige ondernemer betreft niet bij. "We willen mensen naar Mars brengen", zei Musk donderdag in 'The Colbert Report'. "Dat zou het grootste avontuur ooit zijn."
"Mars heeft nog wat werk nodig" Kolonisatie van Mars is volgens hem van essentieel belang voor de mensheid. De geboren Zuid-Afrikaan is vol vertrouwen. "Ik zie Mars als een planeet die nog wel wat werk nodig heeft. Het is niet makkelijk, maar op termijn is het mogelijk om van Mars een planeet als de aarde te maken."
Het is goed mogelijk dat er oude fossielen afkomstig van de aarde op het maanoppervlak liggen te wachten op hun ontdekking. Dat beweren alvast wetenschappers van de Britse University of Kent.
Meteorieten die op aarde worden teruggevonden, ontstaan vaak door inslagen op de maan, of bijvoorbeeld op het oppervlak van Mars. Zo is er de Marssteen ALH 84001, die sporen van fossiele bacteriën vertoont, al is daar onenigheid over tussen wetenschappers. Maar het kan ook omgekeerd, dat er na een inslag op aarde stenen met aardse fossielen op de maan terechtkomen. De vraag die onderzoeker Mark Burchell van de universiteit van Kent zich echter stelde, was of fossielen in gesteente wel zouden kunnen 'overleven' in de ruimte.
Daarom simuleerde hij met zijn onderzoeksteam de inslag van aards gesteente op het maanoppervlak. Daarvoor mengde hij de stenen met water, bevroor het goedje en schoot het met een door gas aangedreven pistool in een grote zak water. De kracht van het pistool moest de impact van een meteoriet op de aarde simuleren, die daardoor de ruimte wordt ingeschoten, waarna de slag in het water de inslag op het maanoppervlak voorstelde.
Succes Uit de experimenten bleek dat geen enkele van de fossielen de inslag volledig 'overleefde' en dat er steeds minder fragmenten van overbleven naargelang de snelheid van de inslag de hoogte inging (tot 5 kilometer per seconde). Maar ook al vinden we enkel het kleinste deeltje terug, dan is dat al een succes, zegt Burchell.
Het voordeel van fossielen op de maan zou zijn dat ze ondanks de inslagsnelheid beter bewaard kunnen zijn dan die op aarde, aangezien onze planeet geologisch veel actiever is. "Er is een grote kans dat wanneer je fragmenten zou vinden op de maan, er dingen inzitten die we nog nooit gezien hebben." Toch blijft het voorlopig afwachten. Stukken aarde kunnen onze planeet maar moeilijk verlaten door de dichte atmosfeer en de grote aantrekkingskracht.
De volgende keer dat u naar de hemel kijkt en een satelliet ziet passeren, bedenk dan dat het om een onbestuurbaar Russisch ruimtetuig gevuld met seksueel actieve gekko's kan gaan.
De hagedissen werden op 18 juli samen met fruitvliegjes en champignons de ruimte ingestuurd bij wijze van experiment. Donderdag meldde de Russische ruimtevaartorganisatie echter dat het ruimtetuig niet meer reageerde op haar bevelen.
Ondertussen hebben de Russen nog wel gegevens van de satelliet doorgekregen en blijkbaar zijn de gekko's (vier vrouwtjes en een mannetje) nog steeds erg druk bezig met hun 'werk'. Het experiment met de reptielen is immers volledig geautomatiseerd en gaat voorlopig dus gewoon door.
Wetenschappers hebben al video's van de seksueel actieve dieren kunnen bekijken volgens Al Jazeera. Ze hopen op het einde van de rit, na zestig dagen is dat, alle beestjes alsnog levend te recuperen.
Maar daarvoor moet wel de communicatie met de satelliet tijdig hersteld worden, anders komen de gekko's niet alleen zonder voedsel te zitten maar zijn ze gedoemd om na enkele maanden samen met het ruimtetuig neer te storten.
Ook vorig jaar kreeg het Russische ruimtevaartprogramma af te rekenen met een gelijkaardig incident. Toen stortte de Bion-M satelliet neer met vissen en muizen aan boord.
Dus als u naar de hemel kijkt, doe dan toch maar dat schietgebedje voor die arme gekko's...
Het voorbije weekend kwam een badgast om het leven toen hij door de bliksem getroffen werd op het strand van Venice Beach, vlakbij Los Angeles. Maar wat gebeurt er nu precies wanneer de bliksem inslaat op zee? Op die vraag zocht de Britse openbare omroep BBC een antwoord.
Er zijn twee ideale scenario's wanneer je je tijdens een onweer in zee bevindt. Of je begeeft je naar het vasteland om er beschutting te zoeken. Of je gaat dieper zwemmen.
Mocht je toch al op het droge zijn en kan je nergens beschutting zoeken, ga dan liever in een bolletje liggen dan plat op de grond. Op je rug of buik gaan liggen is volgens BBC gevaarlijker.
Omdat de shock van een blikseminslag zich voornamelijk horizontaal over het zeeoppervlak verspreidt, is het beter dieper te gaan zwemmen. Dat vormt echter een probleem, aangezien mensen nu eenmaal lucht nodig hebben en de neiging hebben te gaan drijven. Vissen zijn bij een zwaar onweer dus beter af.
"Als je je in open zee bevindt, ben je net als in een open veld een makkelijk doelwit", legt Jon Shonk, een meteoroloog aan de universiteit van Reading, uit aan de BBC. "Bliksem zoekt de weg van de minste weerstand." Als je op een boot zit, heb je wellicht meer geluk. Die zijn vaak voorzien van een bliksemafleider, die de bliksem onmiddellijk naar de zee afleidt.
Uit onderzoek van ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA blijkt dat bliksem meer de neiging heeft in te slaan op vasteland dan in de open zee. Maar bij de kustlijn is die kans op een blikseminslag dan weer wel groter dan in open zee.
In Siberië zijn opnieuw twee mysterieuze megakraters ontdekt. De gaten zijn kleiner dan de krater die wetenschappers twee weken geleden met verstomming sloeg, maar vertonen dezelfde structuur. Naar de oorsprong van deze formaties is het nog steeds gissen, schrijft Time Magazine.
Medewerkers van een gasbedrijf ontdekten twee weken geleden een gigantische put met een doorsnede van tachtig meter op het schiereiland Yamal in Siberië. Enkele honderden meters verderop is nu een tweede gat gevonden. Met een diameter van 15 meter is het aanzienlijk kleiner dan de eerste krater, maar ook hier is de omgeving bezaaid met grond. Volgens een afgevaardigde van het regionale parlement, die het gebied per helikopter bezocht, lijkt het of het zand door een ondergrondse explosie uit het gat werd gespuwd.
Bewoners van het dorp Antipayuta melden dat het gat zich gevormd heeft op 27 september vorig jaar, maar over de manier waarop dat gebeurde zijn de meningen verdeeld. Volgens sommigen was er eerst rookontwikkeling en daarna een felle flits; anderen spreken over de inslag van een hemellichaam.
Meer naar het oosten, in het dorp Nosok op het schiereiland Taymyr vonden herders een derde put. Deze krater heeft een diameter van 4 meter en is naar schatting 60 tot 100 meter diep.
Gasexplosies? Wetenschappers tasten nog in het duister over de oorzaak van het vreemde verschijnsel. Volgens experts zijn de kraters niet het werk van mensen, maar zien ze er ook niet uit als natuurlijke formaties. Sommigen denken dat ze het restultaat zijn van een meteorietinslag, terwijl anderen vermoeden dat gasexplosies onder het aardoppervlak mogelijk een rol spelen.
Volgens Marina Leibman van het Earth Cryosphere Institute is het noodzakelijk dat alle kraters bestudeerd worden om de verschijning van eventuele bijkomende gaten te kunnen voorspellen. Ze is hoopvol dat elk nieuw gat de wetenschappers nieuwe informatie verschaft.
As an abductee for my whole life, I have stumbled through unknowing, to suspicion, and then resistance, and counsel to offer rare insights and advice to detect and thwart alien soul and body tampering.
Published widely and recognized as an eloquent note in the chorus of barbaric yawps concerning experts who've never seen or confronted these myriad entities, personally for 45 years, I write, do radio interviews and assist filmakers with background research.
At night, your astral body travels to realms from angelic to demonic, spirit worlds of myriad vibrational levels and the pictures that you see on the backs of your eyelids, while you R.E.M., are not dreams but visits, souvenirs of a greater reality.
Like goldfish who never suspect a greater world beyond the pond's surface, the limited awareness of humankind floats beneath the surface of a greater reality, groping, mouths agape in fish ignorance.
Aliens hybridize, and invade astrally to abduct, monitor, and possess, to entangle their energies with ours to ride the reincarnation roller coaster of our auras giving a new meaning to a silent invasion.
Earth is under invasion, one person at a time, and we are all alone, together.
These are my experiences, echoed in a link, at the end of the page of this journal entry.
I felt electric vibrations throughout my whole body while in bed and saw my body then separate and float out of my body, in astral abductions of my spiritual essence, which retained all of my predilections and discriminations, all the while leaving my chop-meat-DNA- contrived- body, bereft of spirit, behind, in bed.
At first glance, I believed that I had died!
Out of body, I had conveyor belt travels, vivid OBE sublime and terrifying experiences, at the hands of aliens, directly tied to my previously monitored thoughts, more proof of
that alien-proprietary- monitored-consciousness, suffered by abductees.
I am a fifty year old happily married father of two extraordinary teens.
I am one who writes, landscapes, crafts his own ales, hunts mushrooms, breeds native giant silk moths, plays bass and drums and teaches.
My wife and I have been friends and lovers for over twenty years, and she supports my hobbies and writing with a skeptical and cautious approach which has helped to keep me centered.
I have seen different subspecies of alien entities since I was a young child living on Shore Road in Brooklyn until my later years as a resident of Long Island, and I am convinced that many others have also struggled to assess and grasp similar indigestible alien experiences which challenge everything we've ever been taught.
We were told by experts like Carl Sagan, who recently passed, that Earth is too far out in the 'boonies' of our galaxy to merit attention by E.T.s, but he was dead wrong, long before he died.
Earth is, and always has been, a crossroads for many highly technological lifeforms.
The mean-spirited ones, now doing salvage, are the vestigial remnants of a union that donated their DNA to set up this rare jewel of a preserve.
Good gamekeepers never let the animals within suspect that it is, indeed, a preserve. THAT'S why, our planet looms as a seemingly rare botanical and animal jewel, in the context of so many other barren worlds, that we can discern in the Universe.
We, rather than having been divinely ordained for Earth, have been placed, and farmed, throughout the galaxy, seen as someone else's property.
Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for me, a confirmed atheist, UNTIL I saw aliens float me out of my body, in my bed, at night.
Then, I knew that they were more interested in an essence, that I never suspected I had: a soul.
“This triangle UFO was seen recently and it closely resembles a TR3B. The fact that the person blurred out the face of the kid and didn’t get the UFO in the dead center of the video is what causes me to believe this is real. Also the lighting and shading on the UFO matches that of the trees, and the bars of jungle gym, says Scott Waring, author of UFO Sightings Daily.
UFOs were spotted by numerous residents in Toronto last weekend, causing many of them to turn to social media for answers. Toronto police confirmed they received calls about the UFOs as well, and one constable participated in the online conversation and tweeted about it.
Toronto police told local newspaper The Star that they began receiving calls at around 7 pm Saturday night. People reported seeing the lights near Yonge St. and Empress Ave in the North York section of Toronto. Police Sergeant Barry White told The Star, “[Officers] were stopping to talk to people, and we did hear from others on the street that apparently there was something up there.”
However, White says he was not sure how they were supposed to respond to UFO sightings. He said, “If it was something dangerous and we could do something under the criminal code, we might. Police would go try and check it out, but to actually go and investigate it further as a UFO — I don’t think we would. I’m trying not to laugh!” White did acknowledge that officers had reported the sightings themselves, but they were not sure what they were. Some officers suggested that they were perhaps remote controlled quadcopters. Police constable Craig Brister tweeted, “I’ve been a police officer for 15 years. Tonight I have a first! My first report of a UFO!! He was serious! #quadcopter”
I’ve been a police officer for 15 years. Tonight I have a first! My first report of a UFO!! He was serious! #quadcopter — Officer Craig (@PC7634) July 27, 2014
Brister admitted he saw the lights himself while biking, and his tweet was his best guess as to what was flying around.
Others have suggested that the lights were from night kites lit up with LEDs being flown at the nearby McKee park. This may account for one of the first reports.
Sebastian Setien says he first saw an object at 4:18 pm. He was entertaining guests and saw a triangular object while barbequing on his balcony. He says the object wasn’t doing anything, so he just went back inside.
He told The Star, “I thought it was a weather probe or a drone. Then at night time we come back out to have a beer on the balcony and then we see these lights.”
Setien’s second sighting was at 8:40 pm, at which time he says he started to video tape the objects.
Setien was not the only one capturing UFO videos at around 9 pm that night. So was Sarah Chun on nearby Finch Street. She says she saw six or seven flashing lights in a long row hovering diagonally across town. She got out her iPad and began recording.
Her video shows these strange lights hovering above North York. She also captured one of the lights closer to her.
“It was really high up, and was round, bright, and shining,” Chun told the Star. “At first I thought it was stars or something, but it was too bright to be. I didn’t know what it was.”
She says she watched the object above her for 25 minutes before “it kind of flew, and then disappeared.” She then posted the two videos she had captured on YouTube before going to bed.
While she slept, Chun’s videos went viral. She got thousands of hits that night, and as of the moment I type these words, it has nearly 850,000 hits – it had around 775,000 when I started writing this story. Media outlets across Canada are now writing about the mysterious lights.
Lending credence to the kite theory, one witness, Roxanna Malecki, said the objects looked like they had strings with “sparkles of diamonds.”

She continued, “I was so nervous. Everyone was screaming, ‘What the hell is that?’”
So was it kites that have created all of this ruckus? Checking a map, McKee park is pretty small. Chun’s video shows lights that seem to span a great distance.

As for quadcopters, UFO researcher Victor Viggiani told the CBCquadcopters don’t sit and hover for long lengths of time like these objects did.
Another suggestion has been Chinese Lanterns. Often wind will carry them in one direction making them look like a long train of lights. Viggiani isn’t convinced. He says these are genuine UFOs. Malecki seems to agree. She says she thinks extraterrestrials are involved.
ETs, kites, quadcopters, Chinese Lanterns, or maybe ETs flying kites while in quadcopter-like spaceships that look like Chinese Lanterns? The world may never know. Let us know what you think below.
