Men In Black: The “Other” Silencers

(Before It's News)

Mysterious Universe

About three weeks ago, I flew down to Houston, Texas to do a TV shoot for a forthcoming, 90-minute documentary. The subject was the controversy surrounding those mysterious, dark-suited characters that have plagued Ufology for decades. Since I have written extensively on the MIB, I often get asked to do television shows on the subject. Generally, they run smoothly. Not on this occasion, however.

It all kicked-off fine – at least, from my perspective. Things began chronologically, and I began to tell the story of Albert Bender, the brains behind the International Flying Saucer Bureau, who, in the early 1950s, was terrorized into silence by the Men in Black.

I explained that Bender’s MIB were far less like those of the Men in Black movies (with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones), and far more like something befitting the likes of an H.P. Lovecraft novel.

The producer stopped me in mid-sentence (which was the first thing that pissed me off big-time) and asked me what I meant. Well, had he not stuck his nose in, he would have known what I meant!

I explained that although popular-culture generally portrays the MIB as the “secret agents” of government groups, or (as in the aforementioned Smith-Jones films) of super-secret bodies that operate outside of the official government, the real Men in Black were very different.

Less getting jiggy with it, more terrifying the crap out of you

With the cameras rolling, I said that Albert Bender’s MIB did not knock on his door, flash ID cards, and proceed to petrify him into silence, as many might assume. No: they materialized (as in literally materialized) in his attic-based bedroom in Bridgeport, Connecticut, amid nothing less than a foul odor similar to demonic brimstone! On top of that, their eyes shone – in fact, they almost glowed.

The MIB were thin, pale, and  near-vampire-like in appearance. They “spoke” with Bender in telepathic fashion. It was an exchange that provoked intense dizziness, pounding headaches, and both psychological and physical disturbances, including overwhelming exhaustion. It was, I said, as if Bender had been the subject of nothing less than a full-blown demonic attack.

I then proceeded to state how, as someone who writes regularly on the MIB, I get dozens of reports of encounters with the dark-suited ones, per year. I also noted that the overwhelming majority of the cases I receive are of the Bender variety, rather than of the Smith-Jones type.

The producer looked aghast. This was not what he expected or – clearly – wanted to hear. What he wanted from me was a great deal of talk on “government agents,” hidden groups in the military and the intelligence community, and so on. Blah, blah, blah.

Again, I explained that what he was referring to was the pop-culture version of the MIB. If he wanted that, he really should have asked someone else to be on the show.

Then came a question that I most certainly didn’t expect to hear (although, given some of the scummy shows I’ve worked on over the years, I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised). It went something like this: “Could you talk about the Men in Black in general, and avoid things like the paranormal links and the glowing eyes?”

Are you sure you want to talk about UFOs

In other words, pretend that the cases of the Bender kind simply didn’t exist!

I replied that no, I could not do that. Whether the producer liked it or liked it not, that’s how it was and how it still is: the MIB are clearly not the agents of government; of any government. They are far, far weirder.

The guy complained that the “secret agent” angle was the one they were pursuing – and the only one they were pursuing. I said, in that case, the show would not just be  inaccurate, but it would be deliberately inaccurate, if I were to kiss TV ass.

I made a joke about how it wasn’t just the MIB that were silencing UFO researchers, but it was now TV companies, too! My sarcasm was not appreciated – not that I gave a damn, though.

I have done a lot of paranormal-themed TV shows in the last twenty years – or thereabouts – but I can state with certainty that, in the last year or two, things have definitely changed for the worse.

More and more, I’m asked to skirt around the facts for the sake of entertainment – something which I won’t do. More and more, I’m asked to avoid bringing up certain things that might impact negatively on the show. Well, that’s too bad: I won’t bow down to that crap either.

How surreal and  ironic things have become: I fly to Houston to do a TV show on Ufology’s most sinister silencers, and I find the TV company trying to silence my words on the silencers!

Although they failed to shut me up, and I told it as I see it – namely, that the MIB are paranormal, and not from “the government” – I don’t doubt that my interview will suffer a far worse fate than anything the MIB could ever dish up. That means, I will be subjected to the editing process and the cutting-room floor…

The Bizarre Secrets And Mysteries Of The Bermuda Triangle  (Video And Photos)

(Before It's News)

(N.Morgan) The Bermuda Triangle has been one of those fascinating mysteries that seems to have m ore questions than answers. Intriguing and somewhat daunting, the mystery surrounding the many disappearances of airplanes and other crafts over or around that area has been the subject of movies and books. We will explore some of those questions and look into the mysteries of this foreboding region.Some believe the Triangle is a secret base for alien life, while others believe it is something other worldly all together. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

According to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names. Popular culture has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings. Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors. In a 2013 study, the World Wide Fund for Nature identified the world’s 10 most dangerous waters for shipping, but the Bermuda Triangle was not among them.

The earliest allegation of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 17, 1950 article published in The Miami Herald (Associated Press) by Edward Van Winkle Jones. Two years later, Fate magazine published “Sea Mystery at Our Back Door”,a short article by George X. Sand covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger bombers on a training mission. Sand’s article was the first to lay out the now-familiar triangular area where the losses took place. Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine. In it, author Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying, “We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don’t know where we are, the water is green, no white.” He also wrote that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes “flew off to Mars.”Sand’s article was the first to suggest a supernatural element to the Flight 19 incident. In the February 1964 issue of Argosy, Vincent Gaddis’ article “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle” argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were part of a pattern of strange events in the region.The next year, Gaddis expanded this article into a book, Invisible Horizons.

Others would follow with their own works, elaborating on Gaddis’ ideas: John Wallace Spencer (Limbo of the Lost, 1969, repr. 1973); Charles Berlitz (The Bermuda Triangle, 1974);Richard Winer (The Devil’s Triangle, 1974), and many others, all keeping to some of the same supernatural elements outlined by Eckert.

UFO mania: Scientific Paper Explains the Possible Existence of Reptilian Humanoids

Famous chemist Ronald Breslow PhD has recently released a paper explaining the possibility that an ancient advanced Reptilian civilizations exists. The paper was published by the American Chemical Society.

(American Chemical Society) - "New scientific research raises the possibility that advanced versions of T. Rex and other dinosaurs — monstrous creatures with the intelligence and cunning of humans — may be the life forms that evolved on other planets in the universe." 

"We would be better off not meeting them", concludes the study, which appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. 

Later edit -- The paper was withdrawn from the website, about one month after I have posted this article, and linked it to their work: "This paper was withdrawn on May 16, 2012 (J. Am. Chem. Soc.2012, 134, 8287)." 

In the report, noted scientist Ronald Breslow, Ph.D., discusses the century-old mystery of why the building blocks of terrestrial amino acids (which make up proteins), sugars, and the genetic materials DNA and RNA exist mainly in one orientation or shape. There are two possible orientations, left and right, which mirror each other in the same way as hands. This is known as "chirality." 

In order for life to arise, proteins, for instance, must contain only one chiral form of amino acids, left or right. With the exception of a few bacteria, amino acids in all life on Earth have the left-handed orientation. Most sugars have a right-handed orientation. How did that so-called homochirality, the predominance of one chiral form, happen? 

Breslow describes evidence supporting the idea that the unusual amino acids carried to a lifeless Earth by meteorites about 4 billion years ago set the pattern for normal amino acids with the L-geometry, the kind in terrestial proteins, and how those could lead to D-sugars of the kind in DNA. 

“Of course,” Breslow says, “showing that it could have happened this way is not the same as showing that it did.” He adds: “An implication from this work is that elsewhere in the universe there could be life forms based on D-amino acids and L-sugars. Such life forms could well be advanced versions of dinosaurs, if mammals did not have the good fortune to have the dinosaurs wiped out by an asteroidal collision, as on Earth. We would be better off not meeting them.” 

The Dinosauroid Hypothesis (a.k.a. Sapient Dinosaurs)

Wikipedia:

"In 1982, Dale Russell, then curator of vertebrate fossils at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa, conjectured a possible evolutionary path for Troodon, if it not had perished in the K/T extinction event 65 million years ago, suggesting that it could have evolved into intelligent beings similar in body plan to humans.  

Over geologic time, Russell noted that there had been a steady increase in the encephalization quotient or EQ (the relative brain weight when compared to other species with the same body weight) among the dinosaurs.  

Russell had discovered the first Troodontid skull, and noted that, while its EQ was low compared to humans, it was six times higher than that of other dinosaurs. Russell suggested that if the trend in Troodon evolution had continued to the present, its brain case could by now measure 1,100 cm3; comparable to that of a human. 

Troodontids had semi-manipulative fingers, able to grasp and hold objects to a certain degree, and binocular vision. Russell proposed that his "Dinosauroid", like members of the troodontid family, would have had large eyes and three fingers on each hand, one of which would have been partially opposed. Russell also speculated that the "Dinosauroid" would have had a tootheless beak.  

As with most modern reptiles (and birds), he conceived of its genitalia as internal. Russell speculated that it would have required a navel, as a placenta aids the development of a large brain case. However, it would not have possessed mammary glands, and would have fed its young, as some birds do, on regurgitated food. He speculated that its language would have sounded somewhat like bird song." -- Wikipedia;

More Supporters of the "Sapient Dinosaurs" Theory

(1977) Aritsune Toyota - "A Japanese science fiction writer was one of the earliest proposers of the idea of sapient dinosaurs. Toyota was intrigued by the theory of the "Warm-blooded Deinonychus" (John Ostrom, 1964) and developed the idea that some kinds of dinosaurs would have evolved to acquire intelligence.  

He referred to The Hot-blooded Dinosaurs (Desmond, Adrian J., 1975, Rosemarie Buckman, Oxfordshire) and constructed a theoretical model of what they might have been like. He first published his ideas as science fiction in the novel Kako no kageri (A shadow of the past) in 1977. In the story he described them as reptilian humanoids who use bone tools for hunting, speak a primitive language, and build a rudimentary society. The creature was supposed to have evolved from a dinosaur similar to dromaeosaurus. 

A year later, Toyota received advice from Japanese zoologist Tatsuo Saneyoshi, and began striving for more zoological authenticity on details. He then authored Zoku jikanhō keikaku (Prospectus　for the spatiotemporal　cannon part 2). He continued to study thropoda, and serialized his novel as Dainosaurusu sakusen (The plan of the dinosaurs) in 1979." - Wikipedia; 

David Icke

Jordan Maxwell

(1977) Carl Sagan - "In his 1977 book, The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence, author Carl Sagan speculated about the related genus Saurornithoides evolving into ever more intelligent forms in the absence of any extinction event. In a world dominated by Saurornithoides, Sagan mused, arithmetic would be Base 8 rather than Base 10."

(1978) Harry Jerison - "American psychologist Harry Jerison suggested the possibility of sapient dinosaurs. In 1978, he gave a presentation titled "Smart dinosaurs and comparative psychology", at a meeting of the American Psychological Association. According to his speech, dromiceiomimus supposedly could have evolved into a highly intelligent species like human beings."

UFO mania: University of California Scientists: 'Camouflaged' Aliens...

Scientists of the University of California came up with an unusual hypothesis suggesting that space aliens have long settled on Earth and lived among us as observers.

Of course, there is no evidence of this, but according to ancient sources, including the Bible, our planet has been visited by representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations since its inception. 

In 2000 scientists of the University of California, led by Professor Jonathan Malkisom, held a press conference, during which the sensational news that representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations have long been among humans was reported. They adopted human appearance and closely monitor our every move. 

“It’s like an extreme version of the camouflage found in some insects and animals. Moreover, according to historical records, there have been aliens on Earth from the beginning of creation,” says Adrian Kent of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada. 

A confirmation of the words of the Canadian scientist can be found in the Book of Genesis, at the point where the confrontation of Jacob with the Almighty is described:

“And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.” 

The ancient philosophers were always looking for the answer to the question whether beings arriving from the sky are members of the same tribe as the angels. But as a rule, the answer was no, since the arriving beings were mortal, while the angels live forever.

The question of extraterrestrial civilizations was openly and seriously discussed for the first time only in the twentieth century, especially after the CIA declassified a small part of the archive on the so-called Roswell case, when the U.S. militaries found a crashed flying saucer and delivered its parts to the base.

There is information that in addition to the unknown space object debris, the bodies of three aliens were found and taken to the base. The cause of the incident was the impact of ground radars on the navigation equipment of aliens.

According to another version, the UFO was hit by lightning. 

There are reports that U.S. President John F. Kennedy, a few days before his death, asked the head of the CIA to provide all the materials about the incident, but he did not manage to access the most secret archives.

From the 1980′s, many people started claiming that they not only had seen the appearance of a UFO in the sky, but had been inside these objects, and even had come into contact with the aliens.

One of the most famous contactees is Bulgarian prophet Vanga:

“Sometimes one of the aliens takes my hand. They communicate only with a few inhabitants of our planet. They are constantly watching us,” said Vanga about her contacts with representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations. 

What do aliens want on Earth? 

There is only a hypothesis, which was suggested by British scientist Timothy Good in his book, Beyond Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Security Threat:

“The Earth is no longer an 'intermediate base.' They have settled here for a good long time now.” 

In January 2011, British scientists announced the need to prepare for emergency meeting with an extraterrestrial civilization, and even suggested the foundation of a special committee at the UN.

PSST, CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?  by Nick Pope.

Belief in a government (or quasi-governmental) cover-up is central to the belief system of many people in the UFO community, and in relation to this issue one frequently comes across discussions about the extent to which it’s possible to keep secrets. Having worked for 21 years in an inherently secretive part of the UK government, I thought I’d correct a few popular misconceptions about government secrecy and make some other relevant points on the issue. My knowledge and experience here comes not specifically from my three years on the MoD’s UFO project, but is something gained in the course of my wider 21-year career, which encompassed various postings at a number of different grades. My final posting – to the Directorate of Defence Security – is probably the most relevant one. More....

THREE TRIANGLES OVER LAKE ONTARIO  by Cheryl Costa.

On 25 August, little did Gordon realize that a routine chore with his dogs would lead to a sighting of three triangles over Lake Ontario. It was quarter past ten on a clear night in Rochester, NY. Gordon had just let his dogs out for a run in the backyard. His attention was immediately drawn to a bright object in the western sky about 20 degree above the horizon. While it had a flickering quality, Gordon knew it wasn’t a star. More...

MORE AERIAL SIGHTINGS OVER THE NIGHT SKIES OF NELSON, B.C.  by Ron Murdock.

In late August 2014 I was awake between 2 and 4 in the morning. I was in bed when it started to vibrate slowly. I got thinking a low magnitude earthquake was happening in Nelson or a large one was occurring on the west coast. I was looking out the window when an object flew over the roof of the building next door. It was the size of a large football was brightly lit up or it was heat radiating from its surface as the light was a bright orange. More...

NEW DISCOVERY OF 15 NEW MONUMENTS AT STONEHENGE  by Joe Martino.

THE DANGERS OF CHRISTIAN SURVIVALISM AND THE ZIONIST-FREEMASONIC-SATANIST MYTH  by Pat Regan.

Chris Bray of the Subculture Alternatives Freedom Foundation (SAFF) has kindly granted me permission to utilise the following article on Christian Survivalism. Sadly today there are countless people on the internet pushing out the Zionist-Freemasonic-Satanist Myth (ZFSM). They are not even trying to convince floating voters any more, it is sadly just taken for granted and wrongly perceived as accepted fact! More...

COSMIC SHIFT ASCENSION AGE  by Theresa J Morris.

Maybe this information is timely and maybe it will spark controversy. No one being can create that which gives us the spirit and soul. We can clone animals but do they have the same soul content makeup of the humanoids? Please begin updating your information on our COMMON and PRACTICAL history of the past way we have been programmed.  More...

CTHE POPESSA OF RENNES-LE-CHATEAU BY PIERRE PLANTARD by Mary Alice Bennett.

The Popessa of Rennes-le-Chateau sits on a thone which has been set up on the rampart leading out to the RLC tower which is behind her. From there we have an excellent view of the Chateau d` Hautpoul which was rebuilt in the 16th c. by the Hautpoul family, Marie d` Ables of the famous tombstone was the descendant who lived there.  More..

FIASCO: THE TRUE ACRONYM FOR THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT  by Jeff Krause.

As anyone who has ever filed a FOIA (also know as the “Freedom Of Information Act”) request knows, the process for obtaining requested information is seriously broken, to the extent that all agencies to which we commonly request information from have created an art form out of circumnavigating the legal process. The contempt shown by these agencies, and their FOIA Representatives, is apparent with every response, although cloaked in a sense of polite mock-legality. Claims of requested documents “not existing”, and later turning up, are more than just common, it is the norm. More...

THE OLD ROSWELL ARMY BASE IS SEEING A FEW CHANGES  by Dennis G. Balthaser .

the base at Roswell was originally opened in 1941 as a pilot training school for the Second World War, and quickly became an important military base during the years of its existence, housing many various air squadrons, and a large contingency of military personnel. Just 4 years after the base opened, the first atomic bomb was tested a short 100 miles from Roswell at Trinity site at White Sands. More...

UFO sighting over Skyros Island, Greece on 12th August 2014

New interesting video footage of two bright UFO lights recorded in the night sky above Skyros Island, Greece on 12th August 2014.

Witness said:
On Tuesday, August 12, shortly after 1 a.m. we saw five Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) aligned in parallel positions! The 5 objects flew in parallel courses above at least astonished 20 observers who were seated by the beach at Molos, on the Aegean island of Skyros! The event lasted less than one minute, when suddenly the UFOs arrived at a singular point in the sky and disappeared at breakneck speed in the distance. During the next day, we checked with the Port of Skyros, and we were told that they knew of the sighting! They were alerted by other witnesses!! Apparently, port authorities rushed to the area, but had not seen anything. Unable to believe our eyes, we captured footage of the UFOs reaching close range, almost 500 meters away from us! We attempted to capture all of the objects on video using our cell phone, but only three could be seen. The third can only barely be seen flashing.

Daily 2 Cents: Human Skull Found in Charity Store Donations — My Doppelganger — Lloyds of London Insured Nessie

(Before It's News)

Human Skull Found in Charity Store Donations

Police are investigating after a human skull was found among donations to a charity store.

Medical examiners say the skull is from an adult who died within the last two years.

The cause of death is unknown, and medics don’t know if the skull is from a man or woman.

Goodwill store staff discovered the skull as they were sorting through donations to the outlet in Austin, Texas.

Austin police say they don’t believe foul play was involved, and think the skull may be from a private collection.

Detective Derek Israel said: “We think it was probably something that belonged to the person who donated it, and it was part of a collection or an anatomical model or something like that.

“It could have been something that was kept by someone who was a student of medicine, dentistry, any of those things.”

Goodwill has 31 stores in Austin and 40 donation centres, and has had other unusual gifts in the past.

A spokeswoman said: “We have gotten prosthetic limbs. We have gotten Rolex watches. We have gotten Krugerrands. Our donations run the gamut.” – Mirror

***************************************************************

My Doppelganger

I’m ready to share something quite unnerving that just happened to me last Sunday. So, some background. I drive a ’98 Toyota Rav4 which has certainly seen better days, my grandfather was the one that used to drive the SUV before it was handed down to me. So, it got into his head that we should maybe give the Rav some love, give it a fresh coat of paint on the front and rear bumpers.

Here we are then, my grandpa just getting the finishing touches on the Rav while I just idly watch him work when something at the distance catches my attention ( I live in a closed neighborhood, my house being at the end of the street so any car that enter must turn right in front of the house ) another Rav4 identical to mine comes driving down the street, what a coincidence I think, it just so happens that when it passed in front of me I caught a glimpse of the driver, it was, well me, driving a Rav that was already painted; the driver just looked back at me, our gazes crossed, he didn’t give me a nod of acknowledgment or something, he just stared at me for a few seconds, made a u-turn and left.

I was left astounded to say the least, this guy, which I could swear looked just like me, driving the same car at me, just drove past my house, stared at me for a few seconds at leaved. I didn’t tell my grandpa of the other guy, seeing as how he didn’t even notice the car because he was to busy painting.

Do you guys have any idea as to what this may mean? Is he like a doppelganger or something, my mind playing me some sick joke? – Reddit.com

​That Time Lloyds of London Insured The Loch Ness Monster

In 1971, Cutty Sark offered an award of one million pounds ($2.4 million) to anyone who could capture the Loch Ness Monster. But, the whiskey manufacturer began to get cold feet, so it asked Lloyds of London to underwrite the contest. The insurance company agreed, with the condition that it would get to keep Nessie.

To this day, nobody is certain why Cutty Sark came to believe that someone might actually reel in the mythical, Scottish sea creature. Still, this was the 1970s, when Nessie-mania was reaching a peak and scientific expeditions were searching the dark depths of the 22-square-mile, freshwater loch. (The late monster-hunter, Robert Rines, took an underwater photo deemed so convincing that scientists at Harvard and the Smithsonian Institution expressed serious interest.)

Perhaps that’s also why Lloyds of London initially turned down the request to accept Cutty Sark as a client. A spokesperson for the firm stated that, “The Risk is too great.”

But, after a barrage of news reports that the unflappable Lloyds had “chickened out,” the insurance company reversed its decision.

“Everybody was saying that our underwriters were refusing to insure and that got our backs up,” the spokesperson said a week later.

The contract between Lloyds and Cutty Sark stated:

“As far as this insurance is concerned, the Loch Ness Monster shall be deemed to be:

In excess of 20 feet in length.

Acceptable as the Loch Ness Monster to the curators of the Natural History Museum, London.

In the event of loss hereunder, the monster shall become the property of the underwriters hereon.”

Since Lloyds had no way to calculate the probability that Nessie would be captured, it charged an outrageous premium that far exceeded the reasonable probability of loss.

Still, Cutty Sark signed. And Lloyd’s made a nice profit, since the Loch Ness Monster was never caught. Or, so we’ve been led to believe – io9

Execution by Elephant: Ancient Capital Punishment in India

The death penalty is one of the oldest methods of criminal sentencing. Although different countries have had equally gruesome methods of inflicting the highest form of punishment, India had one of the most brutal methods of criminal torture: execution by elephant.

Designed to demonstrate to the people that even the awe-inspiring power of nature was under the iron grip of the emperor, execution by elephant — or gunga rao, as it’s called in India – became a choice method for capital punishment during the Middle Ages and continued well into the 19th century. Although the execution method was thought to have originated in ancient Rome, the practice of stomping the punished via elephant became popular in both western and Southeast Asia and in India. However, this method of execution declined as the British Empire grew in power.

Sources say that Hindu and Muslim leaders executed citizens for tax evasion, rebellion, and being enemy soldiers alike. Thieves and Mongol prisoners were also punished by death.

As for the elephants, they were often trained to “instantly crush [the offender] to atoms … but if it was desired to torture him, the elephant would break his limbs successively, as men are broken on the wheel,” observed Robert Kerr, a writer from the 19th century.

Crushing the victim, however, was not the only method of elephant-inflicted torture. According to François Bernier, a French traveler who witnessed such executions in the Mughal sultanate of Delhi, the elephants were also capable of slicing the prisoners to pieces “with pointed blades fitted to their tusks.”

Another traveler who visited Delhi in the year 1330, Ibn Mattuta, witnessed and recorded his account of the event, stating: “If the order was to cut him to pieces, the elephant would do so with his irons, and then throw the pieces among the assembled multitude. But if the order was to leave him, he would be left lying before the emperor, until the skin should be taken off, and stuffed with hay, and the flesh given to the dogs.” – weirdasianews

Hornets’ nest falls through couple’s ceiling

Firefighters were called in to rescue two people after their home was invaded by giant hornets.

The couple were forced to barricade themselves in their bedroom after a large nest, which was filled with hundreds of the enormous flying insects, fell through the ceiling from the attic above.

The terrified pair ended up calling the fire brigade and had to be rescued by ladder through their bedroom window.

The incident took place in the UK where this particular species of hornet, which is from Asia, has only recently started to appear.

Measuring up to 6cm in length and with a stinger 6mm long, these giant wasp-like creatures are responsible for killing dozens of people every year and have been gradually making their way westwards since hitching a ride to France in a shipment of pottery from China back in 2004.

Last year 1,600 people were injured and 41 were killed by the insects in China’s Shaanxi province with similar figures reported in other parts of the country as well as in Japan. – maidenhead-advertisor
