UFO mania: Pope John XXIII met an alien before his death in 1961
UFO mania: Pope John XXIII met an alien before his death in 1961
Angelo Roncalli, the Good Pope, he met an alien before his death in 1961.
The meeting in the gardens of Castel Gandolo. All witnessed by Loris Francesco Capovilla. The private secretary of Pope John XXIII. The news appeared in a British newspaper and was later taken over by Sun in 1985. But no one paid any attention.
Today that meeting back in the limelight thanks to a video appeared on YouTube.
It goes around the world. That's the whole story of a "contact" very special. Walked. The lake is a short walk, the silence of one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. Walked. As they had done a thousand times in those beautiful summer afternoon. Side by side. As two friends. How ordinary people. Who want to sit a bit 'on the sidelines. Out of the daily routine. It was July. One afternoon in July 1961, when it happened. "They had over our heads. Lights. Were colored lights. Blue. Orange. Amber. A few minutes, and then ... ". And then, it happened. The imponderable. The impossible. What is also difficult to tell. So in one breath. The lights are spaceships. The spaceships are discs in the sky blue of an afternoon in Castel any Gandolo. They move silently. Are. For a few minutes on those two figures unmistakable walking side by side. How ordinary people. Then the contact. One of the spacecraft detaches from the flock. Lands. Stops "on the south side of the garden." The tailgate opens and the cockpit is something out. E '"absolutely human." Only. Just ... has a light around. A light that surrounds him. Fell to their knees. The two. Then he got up and went without hesitation to Man. Towards that being "absolutely human" wrapped in a soft light and delicate. Penetrating. They talked about. "For about twenty minutes." But they could not hear those voices. "I did not hear anything." But talking. Gesticulating. For twenty minutes. 1200, infinite seconds. Then the man turned and went back to where he had arrived. He looked at me. And he wept.
What do you think?

Complex alien organic molecule found in interstellar space
Complex alien organic molecule found in interstellar space
September 26, 2014 - Scientists have found the beginnings of life-bearing chemistry at the centre of the galaxy.
Iso-propyl cyanide has been detected in a star-forming cloud 27,000 light-years from Earth.
Its branched carbon structure is closer to the complex organic molecules of life than any previous finding from interstellar space.
The discovery suggests the building blocks of life may be widespread throughout our galaxy.
Various organic molecules have previously been discovered in interstellar space, but i-propyl cyanide is the first with a branched carbon backbone.
The branched structure is important as it shows that interstellar space could be the origin of more complex branched molecules, such as amino acids, that are necessary for life on Earth.
"Amino acids on Earth are the building blocks of proteins, and proteins are very important for life as we know it. The question in the background is: is there life somewhere else in the galaxy?"
Watch the skies
The molecule was detected in a giant gas cloud called Sagittarius B2, an active region of ongoing star formation in the centre of the Milky Way.
As stars are born in the cloud they heat up microscopic dust grains. Chemical reactions on the surface of the dust allow complex molecules like i-propyl cyanide to form.
The molecules emit radiation that was detected as radio waves by twenty 12m telescopes at the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (Alma) in Chile.
Each molecule produces a different "spectral fingerprint" of frequencies. "The game consists in matching these frequencies… to molecules that have been characterised in the laboratory," explained Dr Belloche.
"Our goal is to search for new complex organic molecules in the interstellar medium."
Previously discovered molecules in the Sagittarius B2 cloud include vinyl alcohol and ethyl formate, the chemical that gives raspberries their flavour and rum its smell.
But i-propyl cyanide is the largest and most complex organic molecule found to date - and the only one to share the branched atomic backbone of amino acids.
"The idea is to know whether the elements that are necessary for life to occur… can be found in other places in our galaxy."
Prof Matt Griffin, head of the school of physics and astronomy at Cardiff University, commented on the discovery.
"It's clearly very high-quality data - a very emphatic detection with multiple spectral signatures all seen together."
Prof Griffin added that the quantity of i-propyl cyanide detected is significant.
"There seems to be quite a lot of it, which would indicate that this more complex organic structure is possibly very common, maybe even the norm, when it comes to simple organic molecules in space.
"It's a step closer to discovering molecules that can be regarded as the building blocks or the precursors… of amino acids."
The hope is that amino acids will eventually be detected outside our Solar System. "That's what everyone would like to see," said Prof Griffin.
If amino acids are widespread throughout the galaxy, life may be also.
"So far we do not have the sensitivity to detect the signals from [amino acids]… in the interstellar medium," explained Dr Belloche. "The interstellar chemistry seems to be able to form these amino acids but at the moment we lack the evidence.
"Alma in the future may be able to do that, once the full capabilities are available."
Prof Griffin agreed this could be the first of many further discoveries from the "fantastically sensitive and powerful" Alma facility.

Rethinking the origins of the universe
Rethinking the origins of the universe
September 26, 2014 - Blackholes have long captured the public imagination and been the subject of popular culture, from Star Trek to Hollywood. They are the ultimate unknown – the blackest and most dense objects in the universe that do not even let light escape.
And as if they weren’t bizarre enough to begin with, now add this to the mix: they don’t exist.
“I’m still not over the shock,” said Mersini-Houghton. “We’ve been studying this problem for a more than 50 years and this solution gives us a lot to think about.”
For decades, black holes were thought to form when a massive star collapses under its own gravity to a single point in space – imagine the Earth being squished into a ball the size of a peanut – called a singularity. So the story went, an invisible membrane known as the event horizon surrounds the singularity and crossing this horizon means that you could never cross back. It’s the point where a black hole’s gravitational pull is so strong that nothing can escape it. The reason black holes are so bizarre is that it pits two fundamental theories of the universe against each other. Einstein’s theory of gravity predicts the formation of black holes but a fundamental law of quantum theory states that no information from the universe can ever disappear. Efforts to combine these two theories lead to mathematical nonsense, and became known as the information loss paradox.
In 1974, Stephen Hawking used quantum mechanics to show that black holes emit radiation. Since then, scientists have detected fingerprints in the cosmos that are consistent with this radiation, identifying an ever-increasing list of the universe’s black holes.
But now Mersini-Houghton describes an entirely new scenario.
There has been a great deal of study and debate surrounding the mysteries of black holes. The University of North Carolina's Laura Mersini-Houghton believes that the reason there is so much uncertainty is because black holes don't exist. Her paper has been submitted toArXiv, but has not been subjected to peer review.
She claims that as a star dies, it releases a type of radiation known as Hawking radiation - predicted by Professor Stephen Hawking. THE BLACK HOLE INFORMATION PARADOX One of the biggest unanswered questions about black holes is the so-called information paradox. Under current theories for black holes it is thought that nothing can escape from the...

GAAT NASA BINNENKORT BUITENAARDS LEVEN BEKENDMAKEN? ( VIDEO)
GAAT NASA BINNENKORT BUITENAARDS LEVEN BEKENDMAKEN? ( VIDEO)
Er zijn indicaties dat het misschien niet zolang meer zal duren voordat NASA eindelijk buitenaards leven bekend zal maken.
Afgelopen week werd er door NASA een symposium georganiseerd met de veelzeggende titel: Preparing for Discovery.
In 2009 was het Vaticaan gastheer van een conferentie waar wetenschappers, astronomen en religieuze leiders samen kwamen om de gevolgen te bespreken voor de mensheid wanneer er buitenaards leven zou worden ontdekt.
Eén van de conclusies op die conferentie was dat dat ook buitenaardsen zouden worden beschouwd als onderdeel van God's schepping en dat ze daarom onze “buitenaardse broeders” zullen zijn.
Nu lijkt het erop dat ook NASA voorzicht bewegingen maakt in de richting van bekendmaking van buitenaards leven.
Zo werd er door hen afgelopen week een symposium georganiseerd met de veelzeggende titel: Preparing for Discovery.
De reden dat NASA dit symposium hield met eveneens wetenschappers, theologen en astronomen was om te praten over en de wereld voor te bereiden op iets wat simpelweg niet langer verborgen kan worden gehouden en dat is het bestaan van buitenaards leven.
Waar voorheen bij NASA altijd sprake was van het ontdekken van leven op het niveau van microben, zo wordt er nu duidelijk gesproken over intelligent buitenaards leven.
Omdat niets bij toeval gebeurt en bij dit symposium ook theologen werden betrokken, toont dat aan dat het niet lang meer zal duren voordat NASA buitenaards leven officiëel bekend zal maken.
De kudde moet worden voorbereid op iets wat er allang is, maar officiëel nog niet bestaat. Zeker voor de aanhangers van allerlei verschillende geloven zal dit nog wel eens een grote schok kunnen betekenen in de nabije toekomst.
Met instituten als het Vaticaan en NASA moet je uiterst voorzichtig zijn want beiden hebben duidelijke satanische verbindingen.
Voor NASA is dat verband misschien wat minder voor de hand liggend, maar het is er wel degelijk.
Sinds de oprichting van NASA in 1958 is er alles aan gedaan om de occulte oorsprong van dit instituut voor het publiek verborgen te houden. De oorsprong die direct leidt naar wat men wel het “slechtste mens ooit” op aarde noemt, Alistair Crowley.
De hoogste rangen binnen NASA werden gedomineerd door leden van de geheime genootschappen zoals de Vrijmetselaars en voormalige Nazi’s, waarvan de meest bekende Wernher von Braun is.
Dus, wanneer je praat over het Vaticaan en NASA in verband met buitenaards leven, dan kan je ervan uitgaan dat ze geen onthullingen zullen doen in het belang van de mensheid.
Op een prachtige zonnige dag koerst een heteluchtballon statig door het luchtruim.
Een UFO die zich snel door de lucht verplaatst ziet ineens de ballon, remt….
Update: 25 september 2014
We ontvingen een bericht van een lezer (dank!) die zegt dat de onderstaande video waarin een witte orb/UFO een heteluchtballon benadert, nep zou zijn.
Hij zegt het volgende:
“Mooi ufo filmpje maar fake.
Door de andere filmpjes te bekijken van de uploader kan men dat ontdekken.
Het rare is dat de objecten op de filmpjes in het echt kunnen worden gezien op bijna vergelijkbare wijze.
Poging om getuigenissen van mensen en opname apparatuur te besmeuren?”
En inderdaad, als je naar wat andere video’s kijkt die deze Youtube uploader gemaakt heeft dan moet je je inderdaad afvragen of de onderstaande video wel echt is.
Het soort witte orbs/UFO’s zoals die in de video is te zien, wordt wereldwijd veel waargenomen. In dat kader is het niet zo vreemd als er één zou verschijnen in de buurt van een hete luchtballon.
Waar dit soort UFO’s ook regelmatig worden waargenomen is in de buurt bij chemtrails. Een voorbeeld daarvan is de volgende opname die een vloot van zeven van dergelijke orbs laat zien in de buurt van enkele spray sporen in de lucht.
De opname is gemaakt enkele weken geleden voor de kust van Normandië. De maker van de video zegt het volgende:
“Ik was aan boord van een jacht samen met een vriend. We waren aan het zeilen en genoten van de prachtig blauwe lucht boven Normandië. Ik keek naar een geweldig grote chemtrail die in de lucht hing terwijl ik lag te zonnebaden. Mijn aandacht werd even afgeleid en korte tijd keek ik even niet naar de lucht.
Toen ik weer keek zag ik een aantal vreemde kleine witte stippen vlak bij de grote chemtrail. Ik pakte mijn iPhone en nam op wat ik kon. Ik telde zeven witte objecten die zich langzaam door de lucht bewogen en ze leken als het ware af te dalen de chemtrail in. Het leek alsof de vloot onder leiding stond van een groter moederschip, de grootste orb/UFO”.
Origineel artikel: 24 september 2014
De hiernavolgende opname is een prachtig bewijs dat de kleine witte orbs/UFO’s die door ons luchtruim vliegen intelligent bestuurde objecten zijn.
Zoals je ziet op de volgende foto vliegt er een heteluchtballon en komt er van rechts een UFO in beeld.
In de volgende video zie je wat er vervolgens gebeurt.
De UFO die zich snel van rechts naar links door het beeld begeeft, ziet op een gegeven moment de UFO, remt af en blijft vervolgens even stilhangen.
Daarna daalt het langzaam en voorzichtig af richting luchtballon. Alsof het nog nooit zoiets heeft gezien en er als het ware even aan wil snuffelen.
Klaarblijkelijk vindt de UFO na inspectie een heteluchtballon toch niet de moeite waard en vervolgt zijn weg.
De opname is op 20 september gemaakt, maar er is verder niets bekend over de locatie of de omstandigheden.
TWEE MYSTERIES WAAROP NU UITEINDELIJK EEN ANTWOORD MOET KOMEN...
TWEE MYSTERIES WAAROP NU UITEINDELIJK EEN ANTWOORD MOET KOMEN...
Wat ons betreft zijn er twee mysteries waarvoor nu toch eindelijk eens een uitleg moet worden gevonden.
De man die deze antwoorden voor ons kan vinden is Minister Timmerfrans. Wij zullen hem daarbij een klein beetje helpen.
Het eerste mysterie is dat van de oranje bollen.
Het afgelopen jaar hebben we talloze artikelen geschreven over dit vreemde fenomeen dat zich wereldwijd voordoet, maar zeker ook in onze streken.
Het fenomeen van zich door de lucht bewegende, geluidloze oranje bollen. Soms alleen en soms in aanzienlijke formaties.
Ze worden waargenomen, mensen verbazen zich erover en soms wordt iemand die niets van UFO’s moet hebben, spontaan iemand die wel degelijk in ufo’s gelooft. Veel verder dan dat komen we eigenlijk niet.
Hoewel ze wereldwijd intussen door duizenden mensen zijn waargenomen, worden er geen vragen in de Tweede Kamer gesteld. Hoeveel wij keer op keer artikelen publiceren over oranje bollen wordt er geen enkel onderzoek opgestart.
Je zou toch zeggen dat wanneer zoiets indringends plaatsvindt boven welk land dan ook, een overheid wil weten wat daar rond vliegt?
Klaarblijkelijk niet.
Dus tijd voor drastische actie:
Bij deze verklaren wij de oranje bollen tot verkenningsbollen van Vladimir Poetin.
Misschien dat er nu in het kader van de nationale veiligheid eindelijk door Timmerfrans en kornuiten een degelijk onderzoek naar deze bollen kan worden gestart.
Ook afgelopen weekend was het weer raak. Wij ontvingen de volgende e-mail met prachtige foto (dank!):
Weekend geleden naar Frankrijk geweest regio Reims! Zondagmorgen om 7u +- stond ik naar buiten te staren met mijn fototoestel!
Toen zag ik 3 lichtbollen, vlug een foto getrokken, enkele seconden later was het al weg!
Tezamen met mijn vriendin hebben we nog zitten staren, helaas niets meer te bespeuren!!
Het tweede mysterie waarover nu eindelijk eens openheid van zaken gegeven dient te worden is het absurde aantal UFO’s dat af en aan vliegt bij het ISS ruimtestation.
Het is een bijna dagelijkse gebeurtenis waarover wij ook al talloze artikelen hebben geschreven.
Ook daar was het enkele dagen geleden weer raak.
Ze komen in alle soorten, maten en kleuren voor bij het ISS. Van gouden, sigaarvormige tot ronde gloeiende UFO’s zoals hierboven.
We weten dat Timmerfrans graag het woord voert bij de Verenigde Naties. Het liefst zo dramatisch mogelijk en een van een leugen meer of minder ligt deze man niet wakker.
Misschien dat hij daar nu eindelijk wat goeds kan doen door dit onderwerp daar aan te roeren en een antwoord te eisen voor de wereldbevolking.
Politici moeten eens gaan doen waarvoor ze aangesteld zijn en dat is het volk vertegenwoordigen.
En het volk wil weten wat er allemaal boven hun hoofden vliegt.
Europa probeert op 12 november een verkenner op het oppervlak van een komeet te zetten. Dat heeft de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA aangekondigd. Nog nooit is een verkenner geland op een komeet.
De sonde Rosetta met de verkenner Philae vliegt nu nog rond de komeet 67P/Tsjoerjoemov-Gerasimenko. Die ziet eruit als een badeendje. De plek van de landing was vorige week al bekendgemaakt. De verkenner moet naar de 'kop' van de komeet gaan. Daar is het redelijk vlak. Ook valt er genoeg zonlicht om de accu op te laden.
Als de landing daar toch niet door kan gaan, heeft de ESA een alternatief achter de hand. Dat is een plek op het 'lichaam' van de badeend. Ook daar zou de Philae op 12 november moeten landen.
Ontstaan zonnestelsel Het is de bedoeling dat de Rosetta op 12 november om 9.35 uur Belgische tijd de Philae loslaat. Dan zakt de verkenner langzaam naar het oppervlak. Na ongeveer 7 uur vliegen is de landing. Bijna een half uur later, iets na 17.00 uur, moet het signaal op aarde aankomen dat alles is geslaagd. Bij de alternatieve plek zou dat een paar uur later gebeuren.
De verkenner Philae moet het komende jaar onder meer gaan boren in het oppervlak van 67P, om vast te stellen waaruit de komeet bestaat. Dat kan wetenschappers een beter beeld geven van het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel en daarmee van de aarde. De komeet 67P is namelijk ontstaan uit dezelfde wolk van gas en stof waaruit ook de aarde en de andere planeten zijn samengeklonterd. De aarde is in de miljarden jaren erna flink veranderd, de komeet niet of nauwelijks.
6,5 miljard kilometer; 1,3 miljard euro De Rosetta werd in maart 2004 gelanceerd en heeft inmiddels ongeveer 6,5 miljard kilometer op de teller staan. De route voerde drie keer langs de aarde en één keer langs Mars. De Rosetta had de zwaartekracht van de twee planeten nodig om genoeg snelheid te maken voor de oversteek naar de komeet.
De missie is een prestigeproject van Europa en kost ruim 1,3 miljard euro. De Nederlander Fred Jansen leidt het project.

8.8 billion habitable Earth-size planets exist in Milky Way alone
8.8 billion habitable Earth-size planets exist in Milky Way alone
By Seth Borenstein
WASHINGTON — Space is vast, but it may not be so lonely after all: A study finds the Milky Way is teeming with billions of planets that are about the size of Earth, orbit stars just like our sun, and exist in the Goldilocks zone — not too hot and not too cold for life.
Astronomers using NASA data have calculated for the first time that in our galaxy alone, there are at least 8.8 billion stars with Earth-size planets in the habitable temperature zone.
The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
For perspective, that's more Earth-like planets than there are people on Earth.
As for what it says about the odds that there is life somewhere out there, it means "just in our Milky Way galaxy alone, that's 8.8 billion throws of the biological dice," said study co-author Geoff Marcy, a longtime planet hunter from the University of California at Berkeley.
The next step, scientists say, is to look for atmospheres on these planets with powerful space telescopes that have yet to be launched. That would yield further clues to whether any of these planets do, in fact, harbor life.
The findings also raise a blaring question, Marcy said: If we aren't alone, why is "there a deafening silence in our Milky Way galaxy from advanced civilizations?"
In the Milky Way, about 1 in 5 stars that are like our sun in size, color and age have planets that are roughly Earth's size and are in the habitable zone where life-crucial water can be liquid, according to intricate calculations based on four years of observations from NASA's now-crippled Kepler telescope.
If people on Earth could only travel in deep space, "you'd probably see a lot of traffic jams," Bill Borucki, NASA's chief Kepler scientist, joked Monday.
The Kepler telescope peered at 42,000 stars, examining just a tiny slice of our galaxy to see how many planets like Earth are out there. Scientists then extrapolated that figure to the rest of the galaxy, which has hundreds of billions of stars.
For the first time, scientists calculated — not estimated — what percent of stars that are just like our sun have planets similar to Earth: 22 percent, with a margin of error of plus or minus 8 percentage points.
Kepler scientist Natalie Batalha said there is still more data to pore over before this can be considered a final figure.
There are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, with 40 billion of them like our sun, Marcy said. One of his co-authors put the number of sun-like stars closer to 50 billion, meaning there would be at least 11 billion planets like ours.
Based on the 1-in-5 estimate, the closest Earth-size planet that is in the habitable temperature zone and circles a sun-like star is probably within 70 trillion miles of Earth, Marcy said.
And the 8.8 billion Earth-size planets figure is only a start. That's because scientists were looking only at sun-like stars, which are not the most common stars.
An earlier study found that 15 percent of the more common red dwarf stars have Earth-size planets that are close-in enough to be in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold Goldilocks Zone.
Put those together and that's probably 40 billion right-size, right-place planets, Marcy said.
And that's just our galaxy. There are billions of other galaxies.
Scientists at a Kepler science conference Monday said they have found 833 new candidate planets with the space telescope, bringing the total of planets they've spotted to 3,538, but most aren't candidates for life.
Kepler has identified only 10 planets that are about Earth's size circling sun-like stars and are in the habitable zone, including one called Kepler 69-c.
Because there are probably hundreds of planets missed for every one found, the study did intricate extrapolations to come up with the 22 percent figure — a calculation that outside scientists say is fair.
"Everything they've done looks legitimate," said MIT astronomer Sara Seager.
As a level headed, well-educated man trained in the technical sciences, the last thing Edward ever expected to witness was a Glowing Blue Sphere UFO.
Mid-September 1982: location Westchester County in the town of Mount Kisco, NY, population eleven thousand. Edward was in his second floor bedroom, glancing out of his window he noticed red glow in the sky.
“I thought someone had set off a firework and I looked more intently.”
He watched as the red glow moved from right to left in his southward field of view of the sky. The object seemed very strange to him, only then did he realize that the craft had no wings.
Edward tells us, “The front part of the craft was a glowing blue sphere, it was light blue. Attached to the sphere at the rear was a brightly glowing/pulsating orange/red cylinder the length of which was about twice the diameter of the blue sphere. The diameter of the cylinder was about one quarter of the diameter of the sphere and projected straight back parallel to the direction of flight for about two or three sphere diameters. I thought to myself that the cylinder was the power source driving the sphere forward. The craft made no noise that he could hear.”
As a scientifically trained person he struggled to explain the sighting in common terms.
“Without any reference it is always difficult to tell whether an object traveling in space is far or near, especially if the surfaces are smooth.”
Edward estimates that the Glowing Blue Sphere was about the size of a Boeing 747 or larger and flying at 2000ft in altitude at about 500 mph. He says that it was only in view for about 15 seconds.
“Of course, it could have been larger and further away.”
When Edward lost sight of the craft he rushed downstairs and exclaimed to his wife Audrey that he had seen a UFO.
“She looked at him very skeptically.”
The couple had been awaiting the impending birth of their son. His wife Audrey just wrote the whole thing off as her husband’s birthing nerves.
However, the next day Edward that noted in the New York Times, there was a small article that mentioned an unidentified craft that had been sighted by several people on Long Island. It had been tracked on radar as coming over the Canadian border flying south until it reached Atlanta and then it turned abruptly east and headed out into the Atlantic.
A young man, Ronnie Austin and his girlfriend, Phyllis Bruce (both 18) had driven to Mt. Vernon, Illinois, to attend a drive-in movie, “The Great Escape”. At around 11:30 PM they departed on Route 15 heading east for home, which was Wayne City. Phyllis had gotten angry with him, and as they drove along past the airport, Ronnie leaned over to speak to her. As he did this, he glanced out of the window to the south and saw a big white object moving along at treetop level, about 20-degrees above the horizon to the southwest. He described it as fuzzy and about the size of a washtub. Both witnesses watched, casually talking about the light for several minutes.
Then they discovered that the light seemed to be keeping pace with them. Ronnie reported that when he speeded the car up, the object seemed to speed up. Also, when he decelerated, the object seemed to slow down, too. This continued, as indicated by the map included in this report. At first the light was on the south side of the car; then it crossed over in front to the north side. The transition took place when they were about 6 miles west of the Orchardville Road intersection. The object had been on their right (south) and keeping up with them, when all at once the object headed for the car. It appeared to get within a few hundred feet and then it suddenly gained altitude and stopped for several seconds over an electronic relay tower. Then the light shot across the road to the north side to the left of the car. It maintained this position for a while about 500 feet distant. They then turned north on the gravel road leading to Phyllis’ home, which was approximately 1.5 miles away. The object was now on their right. Upon arrival, Phyllis’ sister Forestine came outside to observe the thing, which was now in the southeast. The object appeared to move closer, so went inside, turned out the lights and watched through a window. After 15 minutes had passed, Ronnie decided he had better go home. He made a run for the car.
As soon as he pulled away from the Bruce home, the object began to follow. In our interview with the boy’s father (Orville) on August 12, he told us that this is what scared Ronnie, the thought that the UFO was waiting for him to be alone before it took off after him. He had to head south and the object was on his left now. When he turned east onto another gravel road, the object suddenly shot diagonally ahead of him over a barn about a mile away, just beyond the T-road. The object now changed from a brilliant white to a duller or dimmer light with an orange tinge. Ronnie said he “really poured the coal” to the car and must have been doing 120 mph when he topped the hill on the gravel road. Then, he reported, the object flared bright orange and came straight toward him at high speed. It hovered over the car, within 100′. Just before it hovered it had swerved upward and Ronnie judged its size as that of an automobile. At the point right over the car his radio (tuned to WLS) went crazy with static, which was described as a loud whining sound..
At that time he noticed a “cooling effect”. The object made another pass at the car, this time west to east, and at this point where the object was again overhead, the engine of the car started missing. The object proceeded back to its position over the barn, hovered, changed to a duller orange. This small road running east to west is only about a mile long and the events that took place according to the witness indicates an increase in activity by the object, which really had the boy scared by now. Ronnie now turned north at the intersection (extension of road not shown) and headed for home which was over 3 miles away. The object followed him again. As he headed west down the lane leading to his home, the object cut across the road behind him to the left. He spun his car around in the driveway in front of the house, got out of the car and ran inside. The object was now above another farmhouse in the east about 300 yards away. When Ronnie woke his parents, they thought he had gone crazy. He told them that “it” had chased him home. He could hardly talk; every third or fourth word would trail off. Mr. Austin thought that somebody had chased the boy and was trying to hurt him, so he grabbed the shotgun as he went out the door. Ronnie told him that it wouldn’t do any good. Orville Austin told us that when he saw the object hovering over the field, he understood what the boy was trying to say. He put the gun down. The object started to move closer again so they went into the kitchen and turned out the lights, watching through the windows. Mr. Austin felt that the object was attracted by the lights. Then Ronnie told him to call the police. Orville tried but the phone was dead. Later, the phone was operating and he called Fairfield Police. He said that they thought he was joking. He wanted them to contact Scott Air Force Base which was 80 miles to the northwest. It was about l2:25 A.M. now.
At this time Ronnie’s parents saw that he needed medical aid. They called Dr. Konarski of Fairfield and he told them what to give him. When the police arrived, they saw the “object”, too. Several friends and neighbors watched this “object” and at one time Ronnie got scared and ran back into the house. Several buddies of Ronnie’s watched an object until 4:00 in the morning. Investigated by Indiana Unit No. 1, NICAP.
This is one of the best EVER – at 17:43 on the clip below dogs are barking at some kind of small alien being – then they attack and kill it, and the owner takes his camera and YIKES…….You gotta see this thing.

Alien Creature, or Chupacabra shot dead by a Colombian Farmer!
Thirdphaseofmoon has decided to release this video due to its Authenticity and Interview with Pablo Ortes. The Farmer claims that he has taken the body home, and has put the Alien body on ice!
Around the time of the video, people had been reporting that something was killing goats, dogs and other farm animals.
Pablo Ortes noticed that his dogs were acting weird by barking hysterically.
So he and another person grabbed a camera and went out to investigate.
That’s when the creature that’s been attacking livestock finally showed itself.
The creature came out from some bushes and Pablo quickly shot it with his rifle.
Upon further inspection, they discovered that the creature was an alien creature that is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Where did it come from, and are there more of these? So many underground caverns in Columbia – a breeding ground for strangeness.
Scott Waring, author of UFO Sightings Daily, says, ”this was emailed into me, about these long underwater structures, but nearby it I found 16 round objects in two groups of eight that look like disks at the bottom of the ocean…in flight formation. Very unique and may be linked to the 1940s Battle of Los Angeles UFOs seen over the city. They are at the edge of Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey.”

Waring says, “The long structures are all pointing to each other and in the center between them all the area is pixalated and obscured…thus evidence that something is being hidden from the publics view. Most likely and entrance area to an underwater alien base. This could be an ancient one and not necessarily a currently used base.”
UFO mania: More anomalies spotted in Mars photographs
UFO mania: More anomalies spotted in Mars photographs
Two more unusually shaped rock formations have been discovered on the surface of the Red Planet.
Thanks to the plethora of high quality images returned by NASA's rovers, Mars has become a prime example of how the brain can be tricked in to interpreting an otherwise abstract pattern as something of significance - a phenomenon known as pareidolia.
The first of the two most recent finds is a rock formation that looks a bit like a set of traffic lights. It consists of a tall stone with several small stones spaced vertically up the side of it.
"I saw this one and I thought 'hang on, that looks a bit strange,'" said space video journalist Joe Smith who first came across the object. "I posted it on the internet and people said they thought it looked like a set of traffic lights too - although some people did say it looked like a totem pole."
The second object, a perfectly spherical rock, was found a few days earlier by NASA themselves. Scientists explained that the ball was likely to have been formed by repeated compacting and hardening - a process known as concretion.

A star INSIDE a star: Scientists discover neutron star within a supergiant 200,000 light-years from Earth
A star INSIDE a star: Scientists discover neutron star within a supergiant 200,000 light-years from Earth
Astronomers have found a strange hybrid star using a telescope in Chile
The so-called Thorne-Żytkow object consists of a neutron star that was swallowed by a much larger red supergiant
Such objects were first predicted to exist in 1975 by astronomers Dr Kip Thorne and Dr Anna Żytkow
They are thought to occur when a neutron star collides with a red supergiant and is absorbed
The exact process by which this happens though is not well understood
HV 2112, the object that was found, is 200,000 light-years away
In 1975 astronomers Dr Kip Thorne and Dr Anna Żytkow predicted the existence of a star within a star, dubbed a Thorne-Żytkow object.
They suggested one would form when a neutron star collided with a supergiant, being swallowed inside its huge companion.
And now almost 40 years later the evidence for such an object has been found, providing astronomers with a fascinating and bizarre new space object to study.
Astronomers have found a strange double star using a telescope in Chile. The so-called Thorne-Żytkow object consists of a neutron star that was swallowed by a much larger red supergiant. This can occur if two stars are orbiting each other, as shown in this illustration, and one is pushed into the other
Thorne-Żytkow objects (TŻOs) are hybrids of red supergiant and neutron stars that, from the outside, resemble regular red supergiants such as Betelgeuse in Orion.
Their chemical signatures are different from such stars, however, due to the unique activity taking place inside.
And amazingly, while regular stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, TŻOs are actually powered by the absorbed neutron star.
The discovery of one of these incredible objects was announced earlier this year, reports Amy Teitel for Motherboard.
The astronomers made their discovery with the 6.5-metre (21.3 feet) Magellan Clay telescope on Las Campanas in Chile.
They examined the spectrum of light emitted from apparent red supergiants, which tells them what elements are present.
When the spectrum of one particular star - HV 2112 in the Small Magellanic Cloud 200,000 light-years away - was first displayed, the observers were quite surprised by some of the unusual features.
Such objects were first predicted to exist in 1975 by astronomers Dr Kip Thorne and Dr Anna Żytkow. They are thought to occur when a neutron star (shown in illustration) collides with a red supergiant and is absorbed. The exact process by which this happens though is not well understood
Project leader Dr Emily Levesque of the University of Colorado Boulder and her colleagues took a close look at the subtle lines in the spectrum and found that it contained excess rubidium, lithium and molybdenum.
WHAT IS A NEUTRON STAR?
When the core of a massive star undergoes gravitational collapse at the end of its life, protons and electrons are literally scrunched together, leaving behind one of nature's most wondrous creations: a neutron star.
Neutron stars cram roughly 1.3 to 2.5 solar masses into a city-sized sphere perhaps 12 miles (20 kilometers) across.
Matter is packed so tightly that a sugar-cube-sized amount of material would weigh more than 1 billion tons, about the same as Mount Everest.
Past research has shown that normal stellar processes can create each of these elements, but high abundances of all three of these at the temperatures typical of red supergiants is a unique signature of TŻOs.
‘Studying these objects is exciting because it represents a completely new model of how stellar interiors can work,’ said Dr Levesque.
‘In these interiors we also have a new way of producing heavy elements in our universe.
‘You've heard that everything is made of “star stuff” - inside these stars we might now have a new way to make some of it.’
And Dr Żytkow, who has now seen her prediction be validated, said: ‘I am extremely happy that observational confirmation of our theoretical prediction has started to emerge.’
‘Since Kip Thorne and I proposed our models of stars with neutron cores, people were not able to disprove our work.
‘If theory is sound, experimental confirmation shows up sooner or later.
‘So it was a matter of identification of a promising group of stars, getting telescope time and proceeding with the project.’
The astronomers made their discovery with the 6.5-meter Magellan Clay telescope on Las Campanas, in Chile (pictured). They examined the spectrum of light emitted from apparent red supergiants, which tells them what elements are present, and found one called HV 2112 was likely one of these bizarre hybrid objects
The team is careful to point out that HV 2112 displays some chemical characteristics that don't quite match theoretical models.
Co-author of the study Dr Philip Massey of Lowell Observatory in Flagstarr, Arizona points out: ‘We could, of course, be wrong.
‘There are some minor inconsistencies between some of the details of what we found and what theory predicts.
‘But the theoretical predictions are quite old, and there have been a lot of improvements in the theory since then.
‘Hopefully our discovery will spur additional work on the theoretical side now.’
Paul Hellyer recently stirred up global controversy when he testified before a half-dozen former US representatives that aliens exist. As Canada’s former Minister of Defence, Hellyer is the first and only cabinet-ranking official from a G8 nation to publicly state a belief in extraterrestrials.
MOTHERBOARD visits Paul Hellyer at his cottage in the sleepy and scenic woods of Ontario to find out more about his extraterrestrial claims. This is Paul Hellyer in real life.

Daytime UFO over Seattle, Washington on 23rd September 2014
Daytime UFO over Seattle, Washington on 23rd September 2014
(N.Morgan) Of all of the sightings we’ve seen lately, this one is by far one of the most odd and dazzling. Above the skies of Houston Texas, people were treated to the sight of a strange UFO presence. Again, one has to ponder what is going on with all of these sightings and the boldness being displayed, during the sightings.
A brief history of UFOs: An unidentified flying object, or UFO, in its most general definition, is any apparent anomaly in the sky that is not identifiable as a known object or phenomenon. Such anomalies may later be identified, but depending on the evidence or lack of evidence, such an identification may not be possible generally leaving the anomaly unexplained. While stories of unexplained apparitions have been told since antiquity, the term “UFO” (or “UFOB”) was officially created in 1953 by the United States Air Force (USAF) to serve as a catch-all for all such reports. It was stated that a “UFOB” was “any airborne object which by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to any presently known aircraft or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object.”
As originally defined, the term was restricted to those fraction of cases which remained unidentified after investigation, with USAF interest being for potential national security reasons and/or “technical aspects.” (See Air Force Regulation 200-2.) During the late 1940s and through the 1950s, UFOs were often referred to popularly as “flying saucers” or “flying discs”. The term UFO became more widespread during the 1950s, at first in technical literature, but later in popular use. UFOs garnered considerable interest during the Cold War, an era associated with a heightened concern for national security.
Various studies have concluded that the phenomenon does not represent a threat to national security nor does it contain anything worthy of scientific pursuit (e.g., 1953 CIARobertson Panel, USAF Project Blue Book, Condon Committee). Culturally, the phenomenon has often been associated with extraterrestrial life or government-related conspiracy theories, and has become a popular theme in fiction.
An Arizona witness at Yuma recalls events from 38 years ago when a UFO moved close to family members at a drive-in movie theater, according to testimony in Case 60102 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting center.

The witness was at the drive-in with her mother, stepbrother and young daughter when dim lights were seen in the sky in September 1976.

“I simply assumed the dim lit lights were that of the windows of a passenger airplane,” the witness stated. “At this point I couldn’t see its shape – just the lights.”
But the object wasn’t moving.
“After about 20 to 30 minutes of glancing at what I assumed were window lights, I realized this ‘plane’ was not moving nor was it making any sound and realized it was not a plane. I stood up in the bed of the truck and told those with me to look. I began pointing at it because they couldn’t see it. Its windows were too dim.”
Then the object moved closer.
The witness first thought the object was a passenger plane until it seemed to hover in place. Pictured: Yuma, Arizona. (Credit: Google)
“It was a very dark object, but the closer it moved the better I could see its shape. It looked as if it had a wide, huge bell on top of it. When I saw it almost over our truck, my mother and stepbrother still couldn’t see it. A lady in a car next to us began trying to see it. It moved upward, tilted and that is when I saw the brighter lights on the bottom of this object. I was almost screaming for them to see it!”
As the object moved away, it appeared to be a saucer shape.
“At that moment it began moving, wobbling, and began going upward with its shape changing into a typical saucer shape. My stepbrother saw it at this point and said, ‘I see it! Look!’ At that time it began flopping from one side to the other several times. With each flop it got smaller like it was moving away. We were both tying to get my mother to see it, and she did at the point just before it went away. It was gone in a breath but left twinkly sparkles behind it. It looked as if it had gone through a door and closed it.”
As the object moved away, the witness could see that it was saucer-shaped. Pictured: Yuma, Arizona. (Credit: Google)
Yuma is a city in and the county seat of Yuma County, Arizona, population 77,515. Arizona MUFON is investigating. Arizona has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Arizona had 10 UFO reports in August 2014 – the 19th 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.
