Daily 2 Cents: Ghostly Mosaic Appears…Then Disappears — New ‘Nessie’ Image — Golden UFO Photographed in Sacramento
Daily 2 Cents: Ghostly Mosaic Appears…Then Disappears — New ‘Nessie’ Image — Golden UFO Photographed in Sacramento
Ghostly mosaic appears / disappears at Shrub Hill station, Worcester
Mystery surrounds the apparent sudden appearance, and disappearance, of a beautiful mosaic wall with arches at Worcester’s Shrub Hill Station.
London Midland says the baffling account, from a regular train passenger at the station, has left them scratching their heads.
Short of mentioning ghosts or a time slip to puzzle Dr Who, the station operators can only suggest that the witness saw the recently restored waiting room and was mistaken.
But the witness is quite clear on what she saw, and said that other passengers both saw and remarked on the stunning tiled wall, which no one, apparently, had seen before.
The sighting took place on the evening of Thursday, July 31.
Worcester passenger, Rosalyn Golds said: “I spotted something from the train window in Shrub Hill station, at the far end of the station, – the platform opposite the main exit side. It was an absolutely beautiful wall – sizable – of brightly coloured mosaic tiles in red and blue with arches built into it.
” It was highly unusual – I’ve never seen anything like it in a UK station – it was almost Mediterranean. It looked to have been recently uncovered firstly as it hadn’t been there previously; but also due to the strength of its colour. I’m not sure what it was – an old ticket office maybe? The passengers were commenting on how pretty it was and everyone assumed it was being restored.”
But she added: “The next day, however, it had been taken down! There is a gap in the wall where it was and some fencing left round it. I’d be surprised if it had been demolished simply as it really did look lovely.”
London Midland say that nothing can be removed from the Grade 2 listed station, and so the mystery deepens.
A London Midland spokesman, Gerard Burgess said: “We are scratching our heads here; we’ve no idea.
“The station is grade 2 listed so nothing can be put in or taken away. The only thing we can think of is that they spotted the restored waiting room but perhaps arrived back on a different platform maybe ?” – Worcester News
A woman saw a glowing UFO in the sky above Sacramento, California on two separate days.
The witness, Sunda Barker, was walking home on the afternoon of August 9 when she noticed a UFO in the sky. She describes the aerial object as gold and extremely bright. And she states, “It was beautiful. It was radiant. It was just unexplainable.” She immediately began taking photos of the UFO with her iPhone camera.
Barker claims she saw this golden UFO two days later.
Local ABC affiliate KXTV News 10 aired a news segment about Barker’s sighting. Reporter Damany Lewis explains that, in describing the aerial object, Barker “didn’t want to use those three initials: U.F.O.” Like many UFO witnesses, Barker is hesitant to refer to the mysterious object as a UFO because, as she explains, “everyone thinks I’m crazy.”
KXTV News 10 meteorologist Monica Woods suggests that what Barker witnessed was a Sun Dog. She describes this phenomenon as “a halo created when lights interact with ice crystals in the atmosphere.” – Open Minds
Archaeologists have just discovered Greece’s largest ancient tomb. As well as attracting international media attention, the find has also had high-level political interest within Greece – the country’s prime minister, Antonis Samaras, has already visited the dig.
The tomb is located near the ancient city of Amphipolis, and archaeologists have been excavating it for the last two years. While there are still plenty of questions unanswered (who it was made for for example), enough has been uncovered to show that this will be a spectacular site. It’s built on an enormous scale, with marble decoration and frescoed walls.
The tomb dates to the period 325-300 BC, and so is roughly contemporaneous with the end of the reign of Alexander the Great (who died in Babylon in 323 BC). But as the archaeologists have been stressing, romantics shouldn’t get their hopes up that this is the tomb of Alexander himself, the location of which is unknown, but was probably in Egypt. However, given the size and decor, the Macedonian tomb’s owner must have been high ranking and incredibly wealthy.
Anyone who has visited the marvellous royal tombs at Vergina (ancient Aigai, the original capital of Macedonia) will already know that this region of Greece stands out for its impressive burial monuments. But in southern Greece, the famous sites that draw tourists tend to be public and religious buildings such as temples. This discrepancy points to what’s so interesting about Macedonia, and what sets it apart from other parts of Greece. Read more at The Conversation
This video will show that the history of Egypt dates much farther back in time than Egyptologists admit. Rather than culture arising there 5000 years ago, add at least 7000 to that. The people that existed before the pharaohs we call the Khemitians, and they had advanced machining technology.

"Nog 6000 plekken in Mexico waar iets bijzonders in de grond zit"
“Nog 6000 plekken in Mexico waar iets bijzonders in de grond zit"
Grote opwinding in Mexico vanwege de vondst van een Mayastad in het oerwoud. Hij ligt niet ver van de beroemde ruïne-stad Chalakmul in het zuidoosten van Mexico. Het gaat om een conglomeratie van grote gebouwen, gegroepeerd rond een aantal pleinen. Het zal naar verwachting nog wel een aantal jaren duren voordat toeristen erheen kunnen.
Waarom is de Mayastad nu pas ontdekt? “Ze hebben het gewoon over het hoofd gezien,” zei NOS-correspondent Cees Zoon in het Radio 1 Journaal. “Het zuiden van Mexico bestaat uit tropische jungle. Daar ligt veel onder verborgen. Ze hebben het geld niet om dat allemaal op te graven, dus dat gebeurt beetje bij beetje. Tegenwoordig krijgen de archeologen steun van satellietfoto’s die ze een beetje in de juiste richting duwen bij het zoeken.”
“Volgens officiële schattingen zijn er ongeveer 6000 plekken in Mexico waar nog iets van grote waarde en omvang in de grond zit,” ging Zoon verder. “Deze stad dateert uit de periode tussen 600 en 900. Het Mayarijk bestond uit een reeks stadstaten die elkaar ook gewoon bevochten.”
Het gekke is alleen dat veel van de steden verlaten zijn door de Maya’s zelf toen ze in grote bloei stonden, aldus Zoon. Lange tijd hebben archeologen en historici zich afgevraagd waarom ze hun steden verlieten. De gangbare theorie is dat het kwam door een combinatie van overbevolking en een tekort aan landbouwgrond.
De stad, die de naam Lagunita draagt, bestaat onder meer uit een ommuurd terrein voor het balspel pelota en een piramide van bijna 20 meter hoog. Eén van de opzienbarendste vondsten in de verdwenen stad is een gevelsteen met een figuur in de vorm van de bek van een monster, in de Mayareligie een symbool van de onderwereld.
Wetenschappers hebben een ongezien geologisch spektakel ontdekt in Taiwan. De riviercanyon van de Daan, die pas volledig gevormd was sinds 2008, is aan een ijzingwekkend tempo aan het verdwijnen. De geologen schatten dat de rivier de kloof binnen de vijftig jaar volledig opgeslokt zal hebben. Dat meldt de BBC.
Om de drie- à vierhonderd jaar wordt het westelijke heuvelgebied van Taiwan opgeschrikt door stevige aardbevingen. De kloof van de Daan is het gevolg van de Jiji-aardbeving, die in 1999 een tien meter hoge rots naar boven duwde. In 2004 begon de rivier die natuurlijke dam te overwinnen. Het water en materiaal dat langs de rivierbedding werd meegesleurd, sneden een nieuwe kloof uit die tegen 2008 1,2 kilometer lang en 20 meter diep was.
Geologen van het GeoForschungsZentrum in het Duitse Potsdam ontdekten dat de canyon nu met eenzelfde snelheid alweer aan het verdwijnen is. Ze denken dat de rivier, die geregeld zeer heftig buiten haar oevers treedt, de kloof binnen de vijftig jaar van de kaart geveegd zal hebben. Dit snelle proces zou kunnen verklaren waarom er geen bewijs overblijft van vorige aardbevingen in de regio.
Grand canyon De onderzoekers, die hun bevindingen publiceerden in het vakblad Nature Geoscience, zijn opgewonden over hun vondst. De formatie in Taiwan staat bekend als de Grand Canyon van de Daan en vertoont volgens geoloog Kristen Cook gelijkenissen met haar kolossale naamgenoot in Arizona. Deze ontdekking laat de wetenschappers toe in sneltempo gade te slaan hoe een formatie erodeert. "We verwachten dat het proces hetzelfde zal zijn als in de Grand Canyon, maar versneld", aldus dr. Cook.
Toen ze van 2009 tot 2013 aan de universiteit van Taiwan werkte, bezocht dr. Cook de vallei 51 keer. Elke twee maanden deed ze gedetailleerde GPS-metingen en ze maakte een time-lapsefilm. Twee keer per jaar mat ze de vorm van de hele canyon met een laserscanner.
17 meter per jaar Deze metingen onthulden de snelste erosie die geologen ooit zagen. De kloof wordt vanaf zijn stroomopwaartse uiteinde opgeslokt aan een tempo van 17 meter per jaar. Deze sneltreinvaart is een gevolg van de relatieve zwakte van het gesteente en de regelmatige overstromingen, veroorzaakt door tyfoons.
De wetenschappers identificeerden bovendien een volledig nieuw erosiemechanisme, dat ze 'downstream sweep' hebben genoemd, of stroomafwaarts wegvegen. Het proces ontstaat wanneer het al water van de brede riviervlakte plots als door een trechterhals in de kloof moet. Dat veroorzaakt scherpe bochten in de stroming, die het gesteente aan het uiteinde van de kloof meesleuren.
Amerikaanse astronomen zijn erin geslaagd een middelgroot zwart gat met een ongeziene nauwkeurigheid op te meten - en zo het bestaan van deze mysterieuze objecten te bewijzen. Volgens Science Daily hanteerden de wetenschappers een techniek die nooit eerder gebruikt werd. Het zwarte gat dat ze ontdekten, is ongeveer 400 keer zo groot als onze zon en bevindt zich op 12 miljoen lichtjaren van de Melkweg.
Het heelal is bezaaid met ontelbare zwarte gaten, objecten met een massa die zo dicht is dat zelfs licht niet aan hun zwaartekracht kan ontsnappen. Zwarte gaten zijn bijna allemaal onder te verdelen in twee klasses: grote en superzware zwarte gaten. Die eerste soort varieert van 10 tot 100 zonnemassa's en is een overblijfsel van een stervende ster. In de kernen van de meeste sterrenstelsels zijn superzware zwarte gaten te vinden, met een massa van meer dan een miljoen keer onze zon.
Verspreid in het heelal zijn hier en daar nog mysterieuzere objecten te vinden. Deze middelgrote zwarte gaten variëren van 100 tot enkele honderdduizenden zonnemassa's en zijn zo moeilijk te meten dat hun bestaan ter discussie staat. Hoe ze gevormd worden, is niet geweten en sommige astronomen twijfelen of ze zich wel gedragen zoals andere zwarte gaten.
Onzichtbaar Maar nu is een team astronomen van de universiteit van Maryland erin geslaagd met een ongeëvenaarde nauwkeurigheid zo'n middelgroot zwart gat te meten, en zo het bestaan ervan te bevestigen. Hun bevindingen werden gepubliceerd in het vakblad Nature. Het zwarte gat dat de Amerikanen bestudeerden, heeft een massa van ongeveer 400 keer onze zon en ligt in het galactische stelsel Messier 82 in het sterrenstelsel Ursa Major.
Zwarte gaten zijn onzichtbaar, maar astronomen kunnen ze vinden door hun zwaartekracht op andere objecten op te sporen. Sinds 1970 observeerden astronomen honderden objecten waarvan gedacht werd dat het om middelgrote zwarte gaten ging. Maar omdat ze de massa niet konden meten, bleven er veel vraagtekens. "Om redenen die moeilijk te begrijpen zijn, weerstaan deze objecten aan de standaardmeettechnieken", zegt onderzoeker Richard Mushotzky.
En dus probeerden de astronomen van de universiteit van Maryland het op een andere manier. Een satelliettelescoop van NASA nam beelden van individuele deeltjes in de x-stralen die het zwarte gat, M82 X-1 genoemd, uitzond. De intensiteit en golflengte daarvan werd in kaart gebracht. Tussen het materiaal dat rond het vermoedelijke zwarte gat cirkelde, werden twee repetitieve lichtopflakkeringen in een ritmisch patroon ontdekt.
'Mean Mr. Mustard' "De twee lichte trillingen waren als twee stofdeeltjes die vastzitten in de groeven van een vinylplaat op een draaitafel", aldus Mushotzky. "Als de trillingen muzikale beats waren, zouden ze een specifiek ritme produceren, zoals een bossanovamelodie of een deuntje van The Beatles: 'Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark, try'na save paper'."
In muziektermen is dit een 3:2-ritme. Astronomen kunnen een 3:2-ritme van lichttrillingen gebruiken om de massa van een zwart gat te meten. De techniek werd al gebruikt op kleinere zwarte gaten, maar werd nooit eerder toegepast om middelgrote zwarte gaten te meten.
Zo konden de wetenschappers meten dat M82 X-1 428 keer de massa van de zon bedraagt. Een volgende stap is te achterhalen hoe deze klasse van zwarte gaten gevormd wordt. NASA lanceert over twee jaar een nieuwe telescoop die X-stralen kan vastleggen, de Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer. De wetenschappers uit Maryland hebben alvast zes potentiële middelgrote zwarte gaten geïdentificeerd die de nieuwe telescoop kan observeren.

Tibetanen kunnen overleven op grote hoogte dankzij uniek gen
Tibetanen kunnen overleven op grote hoogte dankzij uniek gen
Een genetische mutatie heeft er 8000 jaar geleden voor gezorgd dat Tibetanen kunnen overleven in de ijle lucht van het Tibetaans Hoogland. Voor het eerst is het gen blootgelegd dat verantwoordelijk is voor de aanpassing. In het Tibetaans Hoogland zou het voor ons moeilijk zijn om te overleven. De hoogvlakte met een gemiddelde hoogte van 4500 meter bevat veel minder zuurstof dan lager gelegen gebieden.
Hoofdonderzoeker Josef Prchal van de Universiteit van Utah toonde aan dat 8000 jaar geleden een mutatie heeft plaatsgevonden in het gen EGLN1. Vandaag de dag beschikt 88 procent van de Tibetanen over de genetische variant. Achtduizend jaar is op de schaal van de evolutionaire geschiedenis een zeer korte periode. Het onderzoek is verschenen in Nature Genetics.
“De bevindingen helpen ons de unieke aspecten van de Tibetaanse aanpassing aan grote hoogte en de menselijke evolutie beter te begrijpen,” aldus Prchal. Hij sprak meerdere keren met Chinese ambtenaren en vertegenwoordigers van de Tibetanen in India om toestemming voor de studie te krijgen, maar telkens ving hij bot. De Tibetanen weigerden om bloed af te staan.
Een collega aan zijn universiteit bleek de Tibetaanse nationaliteit te hebben en wilde wel meewerken aan het onderzoek. Toen hij ook een steunbrief van de dalai lama kreeg, was hij in staat het Tibetaanse vertrouwen te winnen en meldden 90 vrijwilligers zich aan om bloed af te staan.
Door een lager zuurstofgehalte wordt het bloed dikker, een reactie om afstervend weefsel te voeden. Hierdoor kunnen complicaties zoals hartfalen optreden. De genetische aanpassing zorgt ervoor dat de Tibetanen beschermd zijn tegen deze overreactie van het bloed. Met de opgedane kennis kunnen volgens Prchal ook andere ziektes waaronder kanker beter worden begrepen.

Open Minds UFO Radio: Frank Kimbler teaches Geology and other earth sciences at the high school and college level at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell. Upon moving to Roswell, Kimbler decided to put his skills to use to try and find physical evidence of the alleged UFO crash in the nearby desert. He has since found several pieces of metal and plastic that he finds very interesting. One piece of metal has undergone isoptic analysis that has shown the piece may have been manufactured off-planet. We catch up with Kimbler to find where he is in the testing of his materials, and to find out about his new discoveries.
Kimbler will be a speaker at the 2015 International UFO Congress. Find out more here.

Gepubliceerd op 19 mrt. 2014
Please visit Richard D Hall's website RICHPLANET.NET http://www.richplanet.net/starship.php to see all his past shows, and so much more, covering all types of alternate issues that the mainstream refuses to acknowledge. Fantastic work by Richard D Hall. A must watch! The phenomenon of animal mutilation is difficult to explain in conventional terms, and has been linked for decades with UFO's, because strange lights are sometimes witnessed in proximity to sites where animal carcases are found. But have human beings suffered similar attacks? This film attempts to answer this very controversial question. Rumours about human mutilation have circulated the UFO community for years with some people claiming to have had contact with a military group which is used to acquire the corpses of victims of human mutilation. In the film we reveal the testimony of a black ops soldier, who was employed by a secret NATO "find and secure" military team. Their job is to search for and then protect sites where human mutilation has taken place. This is the FULL MOVIE.

“GOOD MORNING, VIET NAM!” THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ROBIN WILLIAMSby Jerry Mazza.
I didn’t want to grieve in the dark after I was smacked with the headline of Robin Williams’ suicide. I enjoyed him too much. So I turned to finding the best stories that highlighted his life. It begins with Williams graduating from Redwood High School in Marin County into the world of funniness. His classmates couldn't help themselves: They voted him both "most humorous" and "least likely to succeed." Good gag. Unfortunately, he topped them. Williams became one of the world's most successful entertainers, an actor and comedian whose energy animated characters who, like himself, seemed to be spinning hilariously out of control — sometimes into dark places that only the "most humorous" can understand.

LARGE UFO PHOTOGRAPHED BEHIND CLOUD COVER OVER SOUTHPORT SAND DUNESby Pat Regan.
This afternoon I was talking a stroll with my son Jason on the Southport shoreline. We always tend to take our cameras along, so on the way back I snapped a few shots of Jason on the sand dunes. I was facing due east away from the sea and towards the Ormskirk direction at the time that I took the photograph. Later on when I downloaded the images to my PC I noticed that a dark and apparently rather large, ‘rectangular-shaped’, UFO was in one of the shots to the right of Jason. More...

UFOS POSE NO THREAT TO AIRCRAFT CLAIMS CHILEAN CIVIL AVIATION DEPARTMENTby Leslie Kean.
A recent high level meeting at the headquarters of Chile's Civil Aviation Department will likely be the envy of those Americans desiring open government participation in UFO investigations, rather than the familiar blanket dismissal. Click here to enlarge top photo. The question of whether UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) pose any danger to civilian and military air operations was up for discussion. An official video about the event (the first 4 minutes), posted on Friday, is telling. You don't need to understand a word of Spanish to take note of the serious expressions on the faces of the participants. More...

VIDEO: ROBERT STANLEY - MEGALITHIC MALIBU SPHINX, BRAHMA, BUDDHA AND UNDERWATER MALIBU SPACESHIP LINKED TO ARCHONIC 9500 BC EARTH-MARS CATASTROPHEBy Alfred Lambremont Webre.
Vancouver, BC – In an ExopoliticsTV interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, author Robert M. Stanley describes his discoveries of megalithic Sphinx, Brahma, and Buddha-like monuments on a Malibu, CA mountaintop. Mr. Stanley links these megaliths with an underwater Spaceship-like structure off-Malibu, CA. he discovered in 2010. In the interview, Mr. Stanley’s finds are connected to an archonic 9500 BC solar system catastrophe that decimated both Earth and Mars.. More...
STRANGE HUMANOID ENCOUNTERS WITH TRANSIENT VISITORSby Scott Corrales.
At some point in the 1990s I had a conversation with Dr. Rafael A. Lara Palmeros, director of research for Mexico’s C.E.F.P organization regarding the motives of individuals who develop an unhealthy attraction to UFO and paranormal phenomena. Dr. Lara mentioned a case involving a certain gentleman from Central Mexico who openly expressed his wish to be “contacted by aliens”, as that would be the solution to all his problems, real or imagined. He went as far as to offer money – not small amounts, ether – to any researcher, contactee or psychic who could make his wish come true. More.

THE NEW YORK LIGHTS OF JULY 26, 2014by Cheryl Costa.
Saturday, 26 July 2014, was a relatively clear night, perhaps that why so many folks witnessed the New York Lights. The pattern of fireball sightings covered a flight path spanning from Long Island, NY to Ontario, Canada. The New York Lights were first noticed by various folks in Long Island. At about 8:45 p.m., Tom, a motorist in Islip, NY on the southern coast of the island, saw the bright yellowish fire balls through his car’s sun roof. More...
CONTACT IN THE DESERT: THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW!by Jeff Krause .
This last weekend I attended the “Contact In the Desert” event in Joshua Tree, CA, along with almost 2,000 other people. Braving temperatures exceeding the one hundred degree mark, all ages and walks of life showed up with an amazing sense of community, with just one thing on their minds: What is the truth of the UFO phenomena?

RENNES-LE-CHATEAU - PLANTARD’S EMPEROR CARD AND THE DIVINE FIRE OF THE CRISTAby Mary Alice Bennett.
It takes some esoteric knowledge to realize that the tarot Emperor drawn by Pierre Plantard is sitting below the tower at Rennes-le-Chateau. With the way the artist has cropped this print, it is difficult to discern the RLC tower. The insignia upon which he sits is different than the imperial eagle on the original Oswald Wirth card, this shape denotes an alchemical type of caduceus and is colored like the serpent rouge, the red serpent of Rennes fame. There are many colorful versions of this card, on Plantard`s black and white print, the areas colored red appear as black, so that is how I chose the reds for the helmet and the fabrics. Plantard`s Emperor has an All-Seeing Eye on his shoulder and he wears the Masonic sun and moon on his chest. More...
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, WITHOUT ENOUGH BREADCRUMBS, TO GET HOMEby Paul Schroeder.
Part of the alarming nature of the unknown is its mysterious link to the known; I awaken each night to a lewd exhibition of the merging. I open my eyes and turn to see the digital alarm clock, sitting on the lamp table next to my bed and see: 12:12, and 1:11 am, 2:22 am and 3:33 am and 4:44 am. This distresses me so badly, upon awakening, that I cannot think; just a wave of panic that SOMETHING is awakening me with alacrity, as the calculated odds of awakening each night precisely at those specific times is astronomically impossible.

Witness said: While attending the Contact in the Desert event I left around 6:15 pm on Sunday night to get some dinner from the local Sonic drive-thru. I ordered my food and paid the woman at the window. As she handed me my change I noticed this dark ball in the sky straight ahead of me. At this point it was 6:38 pm. Watching it for only a moment I inferred that it wasn’t any kind of bird or aircraft that I’m familiar with, so I grabbed my cell phone and immediately started filming. I zoomed in to catch the object on film, and the girl at Sonic opened her window to inform me they were just waiting on my sandwich to be done. I dropped the phone as she talked to me, but focused in on the flying object as soon as she left again. I watched this small spherical object fly just over the power lines, slowly, but consistently. I noticed a slight aura or field of sorts around the craft with my own eyes, and the object seemed to be rotating. When I was watching it I felt a great sense of calm, despite the unknown nature of its appearance. I followed this object with my cell phone just until that Sonic girl handed me my food. After I left the drive thru window I tried finding the object again to record its path some more, and then I noticed it had greatly descended in altitude. When it dropped below where the power lines were, the color of it became camouflaged against the valley’s mountain line and I could no longer follow it.
Glowing UFO over Perry Hall, Maryland on 2nd August 2014
Glowing UFO over Perry Hall, Maryland on 2nd August 2014
New interesting video footage of a bright glowing UFO light recorded in the sky above Perry Hall, Maryland on 2nd August2014.
Witness said: In Perry Hall, I was working on laptop from my car. I saw this object out of the corner of my eye. There was a big lightning storm moving in from west when it appeared in clear skies of the east. I thought maybe it was a remote-control airplane, but it would have been very large at the apparent distance it was at, and it climbed straight up at the end. I wasn’t sure if an RC airplane could do that. I videotaped it on my cellphone, but didn’t realize it was still in view when I stopped recording. Later when showing the footage to a military friend of mine, I noticed it reappeared at the end going straight up behind a tree – hadn’t noticed at the time. Military friend said it didn’t look like a drone. Just curious what it was – it was interesting to watch.
Tijdens het blussen van een bosbrand net buiten Vancouver in de Canadese provincie Brits-Columbia is een onbekend vliegend object vastgelegd op video. Dat meldt nieuwsorganisatie Castanet. In het filmpje is achter de wolken een helder object te zien dat van links naar rechts beweegt.
De UFO schoot tijdens de bosbrand uit de wolken boven een berg bij ons in de buurt, aldus een getuige. “Ik keek op internet naar een video van de brand en zag plotseling een UFO. Ik heb geen idee of iemand anders dit ook gezien heeft. De meeste mensen waren denk ik vooral bezig met de brand.”
Na 25 seconden in het filmpje schiet de UFO uit een wolk recht boven de berg, om vervolgens in een andere wolk te verdwijnen. “Ik was verbaasd en verrast toen ik het zag,” zei de getuige. “Het object liet een dunne streep achter toen het uit de wolk kwam. Voor mij is het daarom duidelijk dat het geen beeldartefact of effect van een lichtfenomeen is geweest.”
“De UFO was maar een paar seconden te zien,” vervolgde de getuige. “Ik neem aan dat er nog meer beelden van zijn. Toen ik de redactie van de website belde met de vraag of ik de rest van het beeldmateriaal mocht bekijken, werd er afkeurend gereageerd. Misschien had ik niet het woord UFO moeten gebruiken.”
Hoewel er geen officiële verklaring is voor de herkomst van de UFO, denkt analist Marc Dantonio van het Mutual UFO Network dat het misschien een bolide – een felle meteoor of meteoriet – is geweest.
Een oplettende YouTube-gebruiker zag nog iets anders in de video. Joe Edwards merkt op dat rond 0:32 iets donkers van rechts naar links door het beeld schiet. Het object beweegt in een oogwenk van de rechterkant van het beeld naar de linkerkant. In eerste instantie zou je denken aan een insect, maar het lijkt achter de bomen en een telefoonpaal langs te schieten.
On a chilly Saturday night in November 1974, three teenage boys lit up a Carbondale, PA silt pond and sparked a UFO legend that still glows 40 years later. The boys, including Robert Gillette Jr., reported to police on Nov. 9 they saw “a red, whirring ball fly over Salem Mountain and into the mine pond.” What would become known as the “Carbondale UFO” drew police officers, military, UFO enthusiasts and curious spectators from across the country. The glow lasted nine hours. After two days, a diver emerged from the murky waters with nothing but an old railroad lantern in hand. Twenty-five years later, Gillette admitted throwing the battery-powered lantern into the pond to scare his sister, but the legend lives on. The city plans to mark the upcoming 40th anniversary of the “close encounter” during the Pioneer Nights – Ethnic Heritage Festival with the Carbon D. Alien Regatta on Saturday. Alex Kelly, co-owner of Icon Technologies, grew up down the road from the silt pond. He doesn’t remember any UFOs or little green men but he does recall the “chaos the next day.” “There were cars everywhere, we couldn’t get out of our driveway,” he said. A Scranton Times reporter described seeing licenses plates from 17 states and Canada at the pond. A story published on Nov. 12, 1974, reports that crowds showed up from New York and Connecticut. Every regional newspaper, radio and television station was live from the scene including a three-man news crew from Philadelphia. UFO specialists from New York, New Jersey and Northwestern University in Illinois investigated. A lengthy report by Matthew J. Graeber from the UFO Research Investigation Center in Philadelphia is still on file today at the Carbondale Historical Society. Police manning the overwhelmed phone lines reported calls from as far away as England. People of all backgrounds and occupations surrounded the pond behind Russell Park, making the light in the water the lesser of then-police chief Francis Dottle’s worries. He was more concerned about the masses on the shore. Kelly said believers and non-believers of the legend are separated into a few groups. Some believe the glow was caused by a lantern thrown into the pond. Others insist a craft from outer space landed in the small pond and the government covered it up. One popular theory is that the illumination came from a fallen spy satellite, maybe from Russia, maybe from the United States, he said. Jim Racht, also a co-owner of Icon Technologies, said, “People either roll their eyes or say, ‘Yeah, they took something out of there.’” Involved with the Carbondale Historical Society and the Route 6 Task Force, Kelly and Racht began researching the event after an interview for WVIA’s “My Town” documentary about the city. Kelly said when Michele Bannon, city clerk, suggested including the UFO landing in the town’s history, the two men raised their hands and got to work. One question they asked themselves was if there was a UFO, who drove the craft? Shortly after the documentary premiered in 2012 the two men started the website, carbondalien.com. The site features old and new photos of Carbondale doctored to include the life-sized green extraterrestrial plastic figure, which they took to the WVIA documentary premiere. A comprehensive history of the lore is also on the site. In Racht’s 2010 book about the history of Carbondale, he dubs the incident the “Birth of a Suburban Legend.” Sitting in their office next to a nearly five-foot-tall green extraterrestrial-looking figure wearing a white T-shirt, Kelly and Racht said one thing that most Carbondale residents agree that a flat bed truck hauled something covered by a blue tarp away from the scene all those years ago. NOTE: The above image is real and was taken on 3-6-10 in Reading Pennsylvania.

Nick Redfern joins Dr. Rita Louise on Just Energy Radio where he reveals information regarding mysterious murders that have occurred to individuals who investigate the UFO phenomena as well as individuals who have been witnesses to the actual events.
An aircraft enthusiast observed three UFOs over Wales, near the English county of Shropshire, on the night of Wednesday, August 13.
The witness, Mervyn Davies, is a model aircraft enthusiast and the founder of the Oswestry and District Flying Club. He noticed the first UFO at approximately 9:45 p.m. from his bedroom window. The bright white light led Davies to believe he was watching a helicopter. But after observing the UFO through binoculars, he could see the object was “liked a banana shape, with both its points facing down, like in an arch.” In addition to the bright white light, Davies says he also observed red and green lights coming from the UFO.
He describes to the Shropshire Star that this UFO “climbed very slowly into space and then just stopped there.” Based on the object’s appearance and behavior, Davies is convinced that this UFO was not a helicopter or a plane.

After the first object “rose into space,” the witness describes two other bright objects emerging from or near the initial UFO. These two additional bright white lights reportedly shot across the sky at incredible speeds. Davies estimates the objects were traveling five times faster than a jet normally flies.
Davies observed the UFOs for approximately thirty minutes before he took his dog inside the house. When Davies returned, the lights were no longer visible.
The witness is perplexed by what he observed. He explains to the Shropshire Star, “I know what aircraft can do because I do the model flying club and I go to all the air shows such as at Welshpool and Cosford and these were definitely not normal aircraft.”
Did King Kong inspire the myth of the Loch Ness monster?
They are the 20th Century’s most monstrous icons and have sparked fear and fascination from the Highlands to Hollywood.
But now it has been claimed that King Kong gave birth to the myth of the Loch Ness monster.
New research from America’s Columbia University suggests the sightings in northern Scotland were triggered by the release of the 1933 classic, which, along with the giant rampaging gorilla, also featured a long-necked, hump-backed lake creature.
Author Daniel Loxton says the first reported sighting of a ‘plesiosaur-like dinosaur’ in the Loch was made by Londoner George Spicer in August 1933 – when King Kong was playing to packed cinemas in the UK.
Mr Loxton said: “Previous witnesses had reported splashes or humps in the water, but Spicer reported a close-up view of a long-necked creature that could have been lifted right off King Kong’s Skull Island.
“Indeed, I believe that is what happened.
His yarn gave rise to many other sightings, making the “plesiosaur” a favourite explanation for Nessie throughout the 20th Century.”
The following year, a photograph of the Loch Ness monster caused a global sensation.
The shadowy picture became the definitive image of Nessie until the 1990s, when it was proved it had been created by attaching a cut-out dinosaur head to a toy submarine.
Marine biologist Adrian Shine, who has studied the Loch for more than 40 years, backed Mr Loxton’s theory.
He said: “I believe that King Kong was the main influence behind the Jurassic Park hypothesis at Loch Ness. Before Spicer’s sighting there were no long-neck reports at all.” – NZ Herald
The open-air holding pen dubbed “a human zoo” outside the courthouse is just part and parcel of living in the King Country town of Te Kuiti on New Zealand’s North Island. But the sight of it has shocked justice advocates around the country who have described the outside holding area as “barbaric” and “positively Victorian”.
Retired defence lawyer Peter Williams QC called the practice ‘humiliating’ and ‘absolutely barbaric’. “How the justice department can justify a holding pen is just unbelievable, it’s beyond imagination … just absolutely wrong,” the lawyer of 60 years experience said. “Whoever is responsible for it should be dealt some type of discipline and the thing should be dismantled and the proper remand rooms or accommodation put up to civilised standards.”
Wellington human rights lawyer and member of the NZ Council for Civil Liberties Michael Bott said the cage ‘almost has an element of theatre about it’. “In many ways the cage on a street sounds like it’s barely a step removed from the stocks a couple of hundred years ago which were used to shame people … it’s positively Victorian.” Bott said not all the people in the cage were convicted of a crime either which would appear to breach people’s privacy. He said it was a clear breach of S23(5) of the Bill of Rights Act which states ‘everyone deprived of liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the person’.
“Not everyone who is bailed is convicted … it just seems bizarre.” Roger Brooking, who has 15 years experience working in the justice arena, was gobsmacked. “It’s totally weird. I have never seen anything like that before. I had no idea there was a human zoo for offenders in Te Kuiti. I think it’s disgusting, quite frankly. This is something you would see in a third world country, or something out of the middle ages.” Tony Fisher, general manager of district courts, said the Ministry of Justice had received no negative feedback about the “secure entranceway”. – Stuff
Johnstown, PA – This is probably useless information but when I was a kid in the 70′s and told people what I saw, They said I was dreaming.
There were beings who came into my bedroom and stood on the porch roof outside my bedroom at night. I would cry, please stop! They were about 3 feet tall and my lived near a farm. My Dad told me they were stray cats because of the triangular face. They weren’t cats!
I wasn’t allowed to watch TV for a long time because my parents thought the television shows were giving me the “bad dreams”!
The closest neighbor was 200 yards away and asked me why my night light was so bright. I only had a little Christmas tree light. She said it was so bright, she was concerned that the house might be on fire but she could tell it wasn’t fire. Just a bright light.
I was born in 1970 and we moved out of that house in 1979 and I never saw them again but I know what I remember. I’ve been trying to tell myself it was dreams for 35 years. I know it wasn’t dreams.
Like I said, useless information after 35 years but it feels good to tell somebody who won’t say, “You were dreaming.” And the neighbor who asked about the super bright light wasn’t dreaming either. Thanks, Greg – MUFON CMS
In it, researchers say nearly 15,000 celestial oddities have been spotted since the group began collecting data in 1989.
“Coincidentally, this almost exactly matches the total number of UFO reports collected and analysed by the United States Air Force Project Blue Book during its official run of less than 20 years from 1952 to 1970,” said the group in a blog post.
Research co-ordinator Chris Rutkowski says the group’s work doesn’t provide absolute proof about the existence of extraterrestrials, but raises questions.
“This is simply a phenomenon that’s real, that people continue to report,” Rutkowski said in an interview with The Canadian Press Press after the study was released Friday. “And I believe that science should take a better look at what’s going on because the (data) suggests the phenomenon isn’t going away.”
The study shows a growing number of unexplained sightings over the years.
The “hot spot” cities with the most sightings were Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Calgary.
The majority of sightings were spotted between 10 p.m. and midnight, and usually in July and August.
About three per cent, or 467 cases, were close encounters, including alleged alien sightings and abductions. – The Weather Network
The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In “Beyond Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.
On Aug. 15, 1977, a 72-second radio signal from space stirred up the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Astronomer Jerry Ehman viewed the signal on a computer printout and wrote the word “Wow!” on the sheet, giving the signal the moniker it has today. The signal came from the Sagittarius constellation near the center of the galaxy.

Ehman recalled in an interview with Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer: “It was the most significant thing we had seen.”
The signal, which appeared as the six characters 6EQUJ5, did not have any apparent meaning. It was received by Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio observatory. It caused much excitement, but a similar transmission has not been discovered since, leading many to lose hope that it was an attempt by extraterrestrials to make contact. But it remains a mystery 37 years later, leaving the tantalizing uncertainty—a thread to draw the imagination up into space and onto other worlds inhabited by intelligent life.
The Big Ear was used, starting in 1965, to survey celestial radio sources. Objects in the cosmos, such as pulsars, quasars, and certain nebulas, emit large amounts of radio waves. In the 1970s, it’s focus shifted and it became the first device to constantly survey radio waves from space in search of extraterrestrial communication. Though radio waves are emitted by many objects in space, the Wow! signal was very unusual—in exactly the ways we’d expect a message from aliens to be unusual.
It was resonating at 1420 MHz, on the hydrogen line. “Hydrogen line” refers to a frequency that is said to be the most likely for communication from intelligent extraterrestrial life. In 1959 Philip Morrison at Cornell University and Frank Drake at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory independently recognized this likelihood, explains the SETI website.
“They reasoned that more advanced civilizations would reason that young civilizations (like ours) might already be listening there,” according to SETI.
The hydrogen line is named as such because it is the frequency of the waves emitted by neutral hydrogen atoms. The International Telecommunications Union protects this frequency to avoid “noise” on it from earthly sources. Astronomers have used it in their studies for such purposes as making maps based on emissions from hydrogen atoms in space.
The Wow! signal’s strength and shifts in intensity along the hydrogen line make it a likely candidate for extraterrestrial communication.
Brian Dunning said on Skeptoid: “If we ever do receive a deliberate alien transmission, Wow! was exactly what we’d hope and expect to find.”
