The Black Knight Satellite – Defender of the Earth? K’inich Janaab’ Pakal’s “Maya Astronaut”

(Before It's News)

Interest in the Black Knight grows higher each year, in 1957, an unknown “object” was seen “shadowing”  the Sputnik 1 Spacecraft. According to reports, the “unidentified object” was in Polar orbit, at that time The United Stated nor the Russians possessed the technology to maintain a spacecraft in Polar Orbit.  According to our research the first Polar orbiting satellite was launched in 1960. Polar orbits are often used for earth-mapping, earth observation, capturing the earth as time passes from one point and reconnaissance satellites. This would put the Black Knight in the category of a observational Satellite, the only question here is, who placed The Black Knight in a polar orbit and for what purpose?

The Object continued to amaze Astronomers World Wide. In the 1960′s the Black Knight was located once again in Polar Orbit. Astronomers and Scientists calculated the objects weight to be over 10 tons which would be at that time the Heaviest Artificial Satellite to orbit our Planet. The Black Knight’s orbit was unlike any other object orbiting Earth, as it was moving twice as fast when compared to any other man-made Spacecrafts.

There are also several reports that the Grumman Aircraft Corporation gave much importance to this mysterious “Satellite”, On September 3, 1960, seven months after the satellite was first detected by radar, a tracking camera at Grumman Aircraft Corporation’s Long Island factory took a photograph of the Black Knight. At that point people all over the world started identifying the object in the sky, which could be seen as a red light moving at higher speed compared to other satellites in a East to West orbit. The Grumman Aircraft Corporation formed a committee to study the data received from the observations made but nothing was made public.

In 1963, Gordon Cooper was launched into space. On his final orbit, he reported seeing a glowing green object in front of his capsule in the distance moving towards his Spacecraft. The Muchea tracking station, in Australia, which Cooper reported the object to, picked up this Unidentified object on Radar travelling East to West. NBC reported this but after Cooper returned to Earth, the Reporter were not allowed to ask Cooper about the unidentified object. The official explanation given to Coopers sighting were “high levels of carbon dioxide, which caused hallucinations”.

The Black Knight has been a topic of interest all around the world. Until today most of the “official” information on the mysterious object is kept safe and away from society. No one has answered some of the most simple and logical questions to ask, who placed that “satellite” in Polar orbit? To what purpose?

Is the Black Knight an Extraterrestrial satellite sent to Earth to study the Human race? Did the Satellite attempt to communicate with the human race? Have we ignored attempted communications? One thing is for sure, The Black Knight remains as one of the most mysterious objects to orbit our planet. Is there a connection between this (in)famous space object and ancient mankind’s achievements?

QUESTION. C'est un enquêteur cosmique qui est arrivé sur Mars. Le vaisseau spatial américain Maven (pour Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) a pour mission de résoudre une énigme : pourquoi une grande partie de l'atmosphère de la planète Rouge a-t-elle disparu dans un lointain passé ? De quoi comprendre un peu mieux pourquoi Mars, qui a jadis hébergé de l''eau liquide, est devenue depuis cet astre inhospitalier.

Un voyage de 711 millions de kilomètres

Et les investigations vont pouvoir commencer, puisque la sonde a réussi son insertion en orbite de Mars dans la nuit du dimanche 21 au lundi 22 septembre 2014. Elle avait été lancée le lundi 18 novembre 2013 par une fusée Atlas V.

"Après dix mois de voyage et avoir parcouru 711 millions de kilomètres, Maven est arrivée en orbite de Mars tard dimanche", se félicite la Nasa sur son site internet.

BRAVOS. Des applaudissements ont retenti dans la salle de contrôle de la mission au Jet Propulsion Laboratory en Californie quand l'insertion de la sonde a été confirmée, selon les images de la Nasa retransmises en direct.

La Nasa n'avait pas encore confirmé l'heure de cette insertion qui était prévue vers 01H50 GMT lundi après l'allumage des moteurs de la sonde pendant une trentaine de minutes pour freiner sa vitesse.

Indeed, Dr. Dick, They Are Physical And Real! BTW, I'll Let You In On A Historical Fact: It's More Than 3 Or 4 % …

It Seems You Fell Hook, Line & Sinker For Donald Quarles ... Will ET Be Here Soon? NASA Brings Scientists, Theologians Together To Prepare

Looking for extraterrestrial life is akin to a search for a cosmic needle-in-a-haystack, as evidenced by the above incredible Hubble Space Telescope image showing approximately 10,000 galaxies.

In large part, thanks to NASA's Kepler spacecraft, more than 1,400 planets have been identified beyond Earth.

A few days ago, NASA tried closing the gap between life on Earth and the possibilities of life elsewhere. The space agency and the Library of Congress (image below left) brought together scientists, historians, philosophers and theologians from around the world for a two-day symposium, "Preparing For Discovery." Their agenda: To explore how we prepare for the inevitable discovery of extraterrestrial life, be it simple microbial organisms or intelligent beings.

"We're looking at all scenarios about finding life. If you find microbes, that's one thing. If you find intelligence, it's another. And if they communicate, it's something else, and depending on what they say, it's something else!" said astronomer, symposium organizer and former chief NASA historian, Steven J. Dick.

"The idea is not to wait until we make a discovery, but to try and prepare the public for what the implications might be when such a discovery is made," Dick told The Huffington Post. "I think the reason that NASA is backing this is because of all the recent activity in the discovery of exoplanets and the advances in astrobiology in general.

"People just consider it much more likely now that we're going to find something -- probably microbes first and maybe intelligence later," he added. "The driving force behind this is from a scientific point of view that it seems much more likely now that we are going to find life at some point in the future."

Among the many speakers at last week's astrobiology symposium, one has raised a few international eyebrows in recent years.

"I believe [alien life exists], but I have no evidence. I would be really excited and it would make my understanding of my religion deeper and richer in ways that I can't even predict yet, which is why it would be so exciting," Brother Guy Consolmagno, a Jesuit priest, astronomer and Vatican planetary scientist told HuffPost senior science editor David Freeman.

Consolmagno has publicly stated his belief that "any entity -- no matter how many tentacles it has -- has a soul," and he's suggested that he would be happy to baptize any ETs, as long as they requested it.

"There has to be freedom to do science. Being a good scientist means admitting we never have the whole truth -- there's always more to learn." Consolmagno also doesn't think the public would panic when or if it's revealed that alien life has been found.

"I really think it would be a three-day wonder and then we'd go back to worrying about reality TV or the crazy things going on in Washington -- that's the way human beings are. Because I think most people are like me: we expect it's out there. And our reaction would be, 'Wow, thank heavens. It's about time."

Earth is no longer the center of the universe, nor is it flat -- at least that's the currently accepted thinking among most scientists. And we now know, conclusively, that there are a lot more planets than the ones in our own solar system.

"The number of habitable worlds in our galaxy is certainly in the tens of billions, minimum, and we haven't even talked about the moons. And the number of galaxies we can see, other than our own, is about 100 billion," Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at California's SETI Institute told HuffPost.

Watch this video zooming and panning through the night sky to show 10,000 galaxies photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope.

At the NASA/Library of Congress symposium, Shostak gave out some startling numbers about how many stars there are in the part of the universe that we can see. "It's a big number: 10,000 billion, billion. And we know that most of those stars have planets -- 70 or 80 percent. If all of those planets are sterile, and you're the only interesting thing happening in the cosmos, then you are a miracle. That would be exceptional in the extreme. So, the middle-of-the-road approach is to say, 'You're not a miracle, you're just another duck in a row of ducks.'"

"The bottom line of this," Shostak said, "is something like one in five of all stars may have an analog to Earth. That's a lot of habitable worlds, and, indeed, the number of Earths in our own galaxy might be on the order of 50 billion."

Those are big numbers to ponder.

The D.C. conference included a great deal of discussion about the upcoming mission of the Hubble's long-anticipated successor: the James Webb Space Telescope. As large as a tennis court, this deep space observatory is scheduled for a 2018 launch and will orbit beyond our moon. The Webb telescope will focus on new planetary discoveries and collect data from the atmospheres of those planets, looking for certain things that might point to what we would consider possible indicators of life.

HuffPost asked Dick, an astrobiologist, for his opinion on the continuing output of UFO reports around the world.

"I try to keep an open mind on this. Ninety-some percent can be explained by natural phenomena, etc. The question is what to do with the other 3 or 4 percent," Dick said. "My opinion is that they should be studied further, on the one hand. By definition, they're something that we don't know what they are. They could be some physical, psychological or social phenomena that we don't know about. But I think it's jumping to a conclusion that they're extraterrestrial. I don't see that evidence.

"I haven't looked at the evidence close enough to say that there's intelligence behind it. But I've seen enough to know that there are unexplained things that we should look at more, and right now, the U.S. government is not doing that."

The most precise measurement of an alien world's size

Using data from NASA's Kepler and Spitzer Space Telescopes, scientists have made the most precise measurement ever of the size of a world outside our solar system, as illustrated in this artist's conception. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

What does it take to find life in the universe? Dr. Sara Seager of MIT is working hard to find out. Seager was recently interviewed by NPR’s Science Friday at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Sara believes the current search for exoplanets has broader implications for our future. “It’s a special time for us here on Earth. It’s the first time in human history that we actually have the technological capability to find other Earths, to identify them as Earths, and to hope to look for signs of life on the first handful or the first dozens or hundreds of exoplanets, and that’s a special time in history. So I’m trying to do what I can to make sure that happens now.”

Thanks to NASA's Kepler and Spitzer Space Telescopes, scientists have made the most precise measurement ever of the radius of a planet outside our solar system. The size of the exoplanet, dubbed Kepler-93b, is now known to an uncertainty of just 74 miles (119 kilometers) on either side of the planetary body.

The findings confirm Kepler-93b as a "super-Earth" that is about one-and-a-half times the size of our planet. Although super-Earths are common in the galaxy, none exist in our solar system. Exoplanets like Kepler-93b are therefore our only laboratories to study this major class of planet.

With good limits on the sizes and masses of super-Earths, scientists can finally start to theorize about what makes up these weird worlds. Previous measurements, by the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, had put Kepler-93b's mass at about 3.8 times that of Earth. The density of Kepler-93b, derived from its mass and newly obtained radius, indicates the planet is in fact very likely made of iron and rock, like Earth.

"With Kepler and Spitzer, we've captured the most precise measurement to date of an alien planet's size, which is critical for understanding these far-off worlds," said Sarah Ballard, a NASA Carl Sagan Fellow at the University of Washington in Seattle and lead author of a paper on the findings published in the Astrophysical Journal.

"The measurement is so precise that it's literally like being able to measure the height of a six-foot tall person to within three quarters of an inch -- if that person were standing on Jupiter," said Ballard.

Kepler-93b orbits a star located about 300 light-years away, with approximately 90 percent of the sun's mass and radius. The exoplanet's orbital distance -- only about one-sixth that of Mercury's from the sun -- implies a scorching surface temperature around 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit (760 degrees Celsius). Despite its newfound similarities in composition to Earth, Kepler-93b is far too hot for life.

To make the key measurement about this toasty exoplanet's radius, the Kepler and Spitzer telescopes each watched Kepler-93b cross, or transit, the face of its star, eclipsing a tiny portion of starlight. Kepler's unflinching gaze also simultaneously tracked the dimming of the star caused by seismic waves moving within its interior. These readings encode precise information about the star's interior. The team leveraged them to narrowly gauge the star's radius, which is crucial for measuring the planetary radius.

Spitzer, meanwhile, confirmed that the exoplanet's transit looked the same in infrared light as in Kepler's visible-light observations. These corroborating data from Spitzer -- some of which were gathered in a new, precision observing mode -- ruled out the possibility that Kepler's detection of the exoplanet was bogus, or a so-called false positive.

Taken together, the data boast an error bar of just one percent of the radius of Kepler-93b. The measurements mean that the planet, estimated at about 11,700 miles (18,800 kilometers) in diameter, could be bigger or smaller by about 150 miles (240 kilometers), the approximate distance between Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.

Spitzer racked up a total of seven transits of Kepler-93b between 2010 and 2011. Three of the transits were snapped using a "peak-up" observational technique. In 2011, Spitzer engineers repurposed the spacecraft's peak-up camera, originally used to point the telescope precisely, to control where light lands on individual pixels within Spitzer's infrared camera.

The upshot of this rejiggering: Ballard and her colleagues were able to cut in half the range of uncertainty of the Spitzer measurements of the exoplanet radius, improving the agreement between the Spitzer and Kepler measurements.

"Ballard and her team have made a major scientific advance while demonstrating the power of Spitzer's new approach to exoplanet observations," said Michael Werner, project scientist for the Spitzer Space Telescope at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.

JPL manages the Spitzer Space Telescope mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Spacecraft operations are based at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Littleton, Colorado. Data are archived at the Infrared Science Archive housed at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at Caltech. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

UFO sighting over Portsmouth, England in September 2014

New amazing UFO sightings photo recorded in the daytime sky above Portsmouth, England in September 2014.

New said:
The silver-grey object, which looks like a flying saucer, was photographed floating over Portsmouth. Lewis Rogers, 26, saw it when he was visiting a friend in the city. The animation director said: “My initial thought was it was an aeroplane but it was just moving too quickly. “I was the only one who saw it who was quick enough to take the picture. I definitely believe in UFOs. I often look up at the sky in the evening wondering if there is anything or anyone else out there.” Student Johnny Blackwell, 23, of nearby Southsea, said: “It didn’t look like a cloud and it was moving very fast.

Alabama witness says ‘massive-sized triangle’ UFO hovered overhead

(Before It's News)

Under heavy cloud cover on September 17, 2014, the witness saw the triangle-shaped UFO hovering about a half-mile away. Pictured: Gulf Shores, Alabama. (Credit: Google)

An Alabama witness at Gulf Shores reported watching a “massive-sized triangle” that appeared to be a half-mile away over Highway 59 west, according to testimony in Case 59981 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his family were vacating in the area when the object was first seen from a condo balcony about 9:30 p.m. on September 17, 2014.

“There had been a heavy cloud cover most of the day and was still present that night,” the witness stated. “The cloud cover was so thick I could observe no stars or planets. As I turned to my right, which would be a southwest direction, I saw three finger-tipped-sized yellow lights in a triangular pattern with a large expanse between them.”

The object appeared to hover, but slowly pivoted to change to a more southern direction. Pictured: Gulf Shores, Alabama. (Credit: Google)

The witness cleaned the binocular lens thinking it was dust or moisture and then continued to watch.

“As I watched the objects hovering just below the dense dark clouds, it became obvious it had a huge, dark, dense mass and triangular form. It appeared to be hovering perhaps a half-mile from my location with one light over Highway 59 west, one over water but close to the beach shore area and one light probably 300 to 400 feet out into the Gulf, but it was so dark with cloud coverage it was difficult to judge distance.”

The object remained in one spot, but seemed to move in place.

“It appeared to hover, but slowly pivoted to change to a more southern direction.”

The witness went inside momentarily and when he returned to the deck, the object was gone.

“The distance between lights and the dark density of the mass made me think of the Phoenix sighting several years ago. I have observed several UFOs over the years, but nothing this size before. I make an effort to eliminate other possibilities before stating an object is a UFO. I do not react with fear of them but just silently observe them when I have seen them. I will add that the object could not be seen at all with the naked eye but only with my binoculars, yet, no stars at all could be seen. I do not have video or photos of the sighting.”

The witness said the object reminded him of the 1997 Phoenix Lights sighting. Pictured: Gulf Shores, Alabama. (Credit: Google)

Gulf Shores is a coastal city in Baldwin County, Alabama, population 9,741. Alabama MUFON is investigating. Alabama has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Alabama had 11 UFO reports in August 2014 – the 18th highest reporting state – while California had 99 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.

Daily 2 Cents: More Global Heat Records — ‘I’ve spoken to Yowies’ — Spiritual Healer Kills Follower…to Bring Him Back to Life

(Before It's News)

NOAA: More Global Heat Records Fall in August

Federal meteorologists calculated that more heat records were set around the globe last month, including Earth's hottest August. May, June and August all set global heat records this year. Meteorologists said Thursday that the average world temperature in August was 61.36 degrees Fahrenheit (16.35 degrees Celsius), breaking a record set in 1998. August was especially hot in the Pacific and Indian oceans and Africa, but cooler in parts of the United States, Europe and Australia. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration records go back to 1880. The first three-quarters of 2014 are the third warmest on record. NOAA climate scientist Jake Crouch said there's a good chance that 2014 will end up as the hottest year. The world's oceans in August effectively tied last June for the seas' all-time heat record. - NBC News

Spiritual healer arrested after killing follower...to prove that he could bring him back to life

A pir was arrested in Pakistan on Wednesday for killing a follower to prove his claim that he could bring him back to life. A Saddar police spokesman said Muhammad Sabir, a pir of village Mubarakabad in Bahawalnagar, gained popularity over the last five years for his ability to perform ‘miracles’. He said on Tuesday, he announced that he could breathe life back into a dead man.

The pir gave the condition that the victim must be married and have children. Sabir said 40-year-old Muhammad Niaz, a daily wage worker and father of six children, volunteered for the miracle. On Wednesday, Niaz was placed on a table in a square and his hands and legs were bound. The police spokesman said Sabir then sliced his throat as people looked on. Meanwhile, an anonymous caller informed the police about ‘the miracle.’

The spokesman said that by the time police arrived, Niaz had died. Witnesses said Sabir uttered some words to bring him back to life. They said when he realized his ‘miracle’ had not worked, he tried to flee. He was detained by the villagers and handed over to the police. Villagers told police that he used ask a local pet store to donate birds and dogs so that could save villagers from black magic. They said he sacrificed animals and sprinkled their blood on his followers.

He also asked them to sprinkle it at the entrance of their houses to be protected from evil. A report against the cleric has been lodged in Saddar police station. The body of the victim was taken to a hospital for an autopsy and later handed over to the family for burial. Samina, sister of the victim, said that her brother had sacrificed himself for the spiritual leader. “Why should I mourn when I know that my brother is in heaven?” she said. “He will be rewarded for his services for the spiritual leader in afterlife.” She said her brother had volunteered for the miracle and that the pir should not have been arrested. - Tribune

Portsmouth UFO hoax ignites media frenzy

(Before It's News)

Alleged UFO over Portsmouth. (Credit: Lewis Rogers)

Multiple witnesses allegedly observed a UFO over the Hampshire city of Portsmouth in England.

Several people began posting sighting claims on Twitter beginning on Tuesday, September 16. Witnesses described seeing a fast moving, grey, disc-like object. One witness, Lewis Rogers, claimed he saw the strange object on Wednesday, September 17, and he posted a photo of the UFO to Twitter.

Did anyone see it again tonight? I took this pic..#pompeyufo pic.twitter.com/KF8HPEWXYr

— Lewis Rogers (@LRProductions_) September 17, 2014

Local newspaper, the Portsmouth News, published a story about the UFO sightings. “My initial thought was it was an aeroplane, but it was just moving too quickly,” Rogers explained to the paper. “I was the only one that saw it but was quick enough to take the picture.” He continued, “I definitely believe in UFOs and am very interested in science fiction, and often look up at the sky in the evening wondering if there is anything or anyone else out there.”

— Chris (@StinkySausage2) September 20, 2014

The object in Rogers’ photo is just an elongated blur, providing no detail. The object’s appearance led some to speculate that it was simply a bird or even a cloud. The Portsmouth News checked with the Met Office, UK’s national weather service, to get a professional opinion about the unusual object. The Met’s Laura Young stated, “After looking at the images, I can say the object is nothing to do with the weather. It is not meteorological and is not a cloud.”

Media outlets around the world ran with the story about this mysterious UFO over Portsmouth, despite the lack of any real details except for photos showing a blurry object in the sky.

A major red flag with this case emerged right from the start. Although several people were posting on Twitter about having seen the UFO, or about wanting to see the UFO, all of these posts included the hashtag #pompeyufo (Pompey is the nickname for Portsmouth). And the posts generally seemed silly and light-hearted. Even Rogers was having fun with his alleged sighting. He posted, “Just found the #pompeyufo,” and included a photo of himself posing with a miniature figure of E.T.

The use of a hashtag by multiple people is a good indication that a UFO sighting is a hoax carried out with the hopes of creating a buzz to promote some upcoming event.

And that is exactly what happened in this case.

Several of the people posting on Twitter about the #pompeyufo are members of the Hill Valley Preservation Society (a group of Back to the Future fans). This group is participating in the upcoming Sci Fi and Fantasy Weekend, a weekend event in Portsmouth celebrating science fiction and fantasy. On Monday, September 22, organizers posted on the event’s Facebook page that they were responsible for the UFO hoax. It was an attempt at a viral marketing campaign for the upcoming event.

Post by The Hill Valley Preservation Society.

This isn’t the first UFO hoax carried out for promotional purposes. And it surely won’t be the last. The UFO hoax is always a confusing and questionable marketing gimmick. Sure, in this case, the UFO photo made headlines around the world. But all that attention is on the UFO, not the event. Although the truth about its purpose has been revealed, very few media outlets will go back and edit their stories, or choose to publish new stories about the UFO’s true origin.

But beyond the UFO’s effectiveness as a marketing gimmick, its use in instances like this perpetuates the idea that all UFOs are either hoaxes or have some other easy explanation. It’s also like “crying wolf,” which makes media outlets less likely to take UFO sightings seriously. Yes, most UFO sightings can eventually be explained. But there are the truly unexplainable instances out there that deserve widespread attention and inquiry. Hoaxes like the Portsmouth UFO make that increasingly difficult by putting the global media’s spotlight on rubbish.

Bewijs voor versnelde oerknal nu echt van tafel - HLN

Sterrenkunde Het team van Amerikaanse astronomen dat dit voorjaar spectaculaire eerste waarnemingen vanaf de zuidpool van de versnellende oerknal presenteerde, heeft voor zijn beurt gesproken. Wat ze voor veelzeggende kreukels in de oerknal hielden, is niet te onderscheiden van stof in de Melkweg.

"Bewijs voor kosmische inflatie"
Dit voorjaar meldde het team van de Bicep2-radiotelescoop op de Zuidpool dat het die verdraaiingen op een stukje hemel had gevonden. Dat zou het rechtstreekse bewijs voor kosmische inflatie zijn. Kosmologen vierden het nieuws met champagne.

Het spectaculaire resultaat werd kort daarna echter al in twijfel getrokken, omdat experts meenden dat de Amerikanen het signaal van stof in hun analyses waren vergeten. Daarna was het wachten op het team van Planck, dat nu concludeert dat de claims van Bicep2 onhoudbaar zijn. Het stofsignaal, stellen ze vast, is niet te verwaarlozen en zelfs even sterk als wat Bicep2 voor oerknalrimpels hield.

De Groningse kosmoloog Diederik Roest noemt de Planck-resultaten overtuigend. "Dit wil niet helemaal zeggen dat Bicep2 niets van vlak na de oerknal ziet, maar wat er na aftrek van stof overblijft, is binnen de foutenmarges niet veel."

De teams van Planck en Bicep2 zeggen nu samen nog beter te gaan uitzoeken wat er eventueel nog wel uit de waarnemingen is af te leiden over kosmische inflatie. Uit de Planck-metingen is bijvoorbeeld af te leiden welke gebieden aan de hemel weinig stof bevatten, zodat nieuwe metingen op die plaatsen misschien wel bewijzen voor inflatie kunnen leveren.

Rendlesham UFO incident: Sculpture to be installed at forest site

The UFO model has been built using galvanised steel and painted black

A 'UFO' has been built to mark the spot where an alleged landing took place in one of the UK's biggest UFO mysteries.

In December 1980, there were reports of phenomena in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk near a United States Air Force base.

The Forestry Commission has created a metal interpretation of a UFO to add to its trail which commemorates the alleged sightings.

The commission said the sculpture was "impartial" and did not seek to answer the mystery.

Olivia English and Nigel Turner visited RAF Woodbridge's East Gate where reported sightings were made

Three logs currently mark the spot of the alleged
landing site in Rendlesham Forest

Olivia English said the symbols on the model were "no
secret code - it's art"

The 'Rendlesham Incident' took place over three nights starting in the early hours of 26 December 1980.

Two US servicemen claimed to have seen lights outside the perimeter fence at RAF Woodbridge.

Since then, many books and internet sites have been filled with conflicting theories about whether it was an alien visitation, a military aircraft, the beam from Orfordness Lighthouse or natural phenomena.

The Forestry Commission opened a UFO Trail in 2005 and placed three logs in a clearing where witnesses claimed a craft had landed and disappeared.

The new UFO will be placed in the same clearing.

The Forestry Commission's UFO Trail leaflet has a
disclaimer about reported UFO sightings

Nigel Turner, recreation manager at Rendlesham Forest, said: "Clearly something happened - there's a party who believe it was something military, there are people who believe it was extraterrestrial activity and we respect all opinions.

"We think it will fit in well, because it offers a goal for people completing the trail and also give an insight into our timber-growing and conservation work."

Olivia English designed the UFO sculpture and said it was based on one of the servicemen's sketches and other descriptions of sightings in the forest.

She said: "The design is really about trying to find a middle ground and remaining impartial and creating an interpretation.

"The symbols on the side of the UFO were originally part of the trail, but we've recycled them to add another dimension. There's no secret code - it's art."
