UFOs, Russia Erects First Monument to Aliens and UFOs. UFO News, Alien News, 

Russia's First monument to UFOs and Aliens

Russia’s first ever statue of an alien has been unveiled near the city of Perm, in the Urals. It marks the site of the most frequent UFO sightings in Russia. The wooden statue, almost two meters tall, was erected at the entrance to the village of Molebka.
This place was not chosen accidentally as it is considered one of the most popular UFO hotspots in Russia, Itar-Tass reports. Many believe that UFOs land there more often than in other places. The so-called Molebsky triangle was discovered in the 1980s.      

"This is Russia's first monument to a UFO," the news agency quoted Nikolay Subbotin, the head of the Russian UFO Research Station (RUFORS), as saying. The monument with characteristic alien eyes was done by a local skilled craftsman, carver Viktor Sazanov, and cost local authorities 45,000 rubles (about US$1,600).

Subbotin said that now local ufologists are thinking of opening a UFO museum in Molebka with an observatory shaped like a flying saucer.
They want to send the proposal to colleagues in the US city of Roswell, the most famous zone among ufologists.

The “first contact” has already been established, as guests from Roswell attended the festival of creativity and design called “Fact and Fiction of the Molebsky Triangle.”

Mystery of the Crystal Sphere of Atlantis

Theories about Atlantis mention the extensive use of crystals by Atlanteans. Crystals varied in slight, color, and harmonic frequencies. Crystals follow harmonic frequencies and could be used with an instrument that looks like a tuning fork.

Atlantis Seed Crystal

Depending on the tilt of the Earth's axis at a particular time of the year, one pyramid would function to intensify and transmit energies to other pyramids which would then act as receiving devices and would disperse energy as it was needed. The opposite would apply when that pyramid was at an unfocused point to their celestial alignment, when other pyramids would be used as transmitters.

It was an intricate matrix crystal grid system.

As controversial as the land of Atlantis remains, it is still an enigma that cannot be disproved. To add more mystery to the dilemma, a baffling mystery exists, surrounding an unusual crystal sphere said to have been found in a submerged pyramid in the waters near the location where Atlantis was said to have existed.

The Astounding Discovery of Dr. Ray Brown

Known as Ray Brown’s Atlantean Crystal Sphere, the discovery of the sphere occurred during a scuba diving trip to the Bari Islands in the Bahamas in 1970.While diving, Ray Brown – a naturopathic doctor – became separated from his friends and while he searched for them, he came upon a strange pyramid structure.

Though startled by the find, he investigated and was amazed that the sides of the pyramid were completely smooth and the joints between the individual blocks to be nearly imperceptible. Upon entering the pyramid, Ray was further astounded by the clean, smooth sides of the interior: no algae or coral grew on the walls.

Not only that, but he was able to see the interior clearly as the room was well lit but there was no detectable source of light. He tried to remove a a multi-faceted red gemstone attached to a metallic rod that descended from the center of the ceiling, but was unable to dislodge it. About four feet below the point of the red gemstone, stood a bronze metal sculpture of two open hands, and resting upon the palms of the hands was a crystal sphere, about four inches in diameter. He was surprised that he could lift the crystal sphere easily.

And so he seized his prize and headed toward the exit. As he did so, he felt an invisible presence come near and a voice that warned him never to return. Concerned that his prize might be taken away from him by the government as salvage treasure, Ray kept the unusual sphere – and his story – hidden until 1975.

For What Purpose Was the Crystal Sphere Created

The Original Crystal Sphere (It is the size of a tennis ball)

Inside the sphere are the images of three pyramids, one in front of the other. Some, entering into a meditative or alpha brainwave state of consciousness, are able to clearly see a fourth pyramid, in the foreground of the other three. At another angle, some have claimed to see a faint image of a large single eye serenely gazing out at them. Thousands of tiny fracture lines also appear and may be electrical in nature, like some form of microscopic circuit ry. The use of the crystal sphere in ancient times is not clear: only speculative at this point. Some say that the crystal sphere was used in conjunction with other powerful faceted stones (perhaps the red stone Ray Brown saw in the underwater Pyramid?) to draw in and concentrate enormous energy from the earth, then generate and project the resulting tremendous power. For good or for ill purposes, no one can say.

Ray Brown's Atlantean crystal sphere has only made a few public appearances since 1975. It was at the 9-9-9 Crystal Skulls World Mysteries Conference in Arizona and the 10-10-10 Legend of the 13 Skulls Conference in New York.

Paranormal Events

Interestingly, whenever Ray Brown's Atlantean crystal sphere has been displayed, mysterious occurrences have often been reported: phantom lights; feeling a breath of wind; hot and cold sensations; tingling of energy; hearing voices. Some have claimed to experience healing from the sphere. At times, compasses have been affected when placed next to the crystal while some metals seemed to have become temporarily magnetic.

Demonstration of the power of the crystal sphere at 2.42 minutes:



When Ray Brown passed on at the age of 89, the Atlantean sphere came into the guardianship of Arthur Fanning.

Dr. Brown's crystal sphere is the source of a variety of paranormal events. People
have felt that activation of the sphere is increased through high intensity sound waves in combination with ancient mantras.

A compass needle placed next to the sphere will spin counterclockwise, then begin turning in the opposite direction when moved only two inches away.

Metals are temporarily magnetized in close contact with it. There are even recorded instances where one person has been temporarily healed of an ailment by touching the crystal sphere, but then the next person to come into its range took on the symptoms of the ailment of the other person, as if the crystal could draw out and then activate human disorders at will.

Trance reading on the mysterious sphere adds that there were four identical spheres created: two were destroyed in Atlantean times as they were used for evil purposes; the third still remains hidden in a submerged temple; the fourth is in possession of Arthur Fanning. Do the positions of the three pyramid images in the crystal hold a key to finding a fourth, as yet unfound subterranean pyramid, that is the fabled Hall of Records? Maybe...

Just what the purpose of the crystal sphere was, and what role it once played in the enigmatic instrument Brown found inside the sunken Bahaman pyramid, remains a mystery, though of course there are some interesting possibilities.

One idea proposed is that the sunken pyramid once attracted, accumulated and generated cosmic forces. The suspended rod may have conducted forces accumulated in the capstone; the faceted red gem at its end concentrated and projected the energy to the crystal sphere below it, showing the evidence of an energy transfer, probably amplified the release of energies; while the crystal sphere acted as the tuner and broadcaster of the energies.

All that we know for certain is that the crystal sphere Dr. Brown retrieved from this system is by itself testimony to a most sophisticated technology, for as experts at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington noted, the technology for cutting quartz stone to the perfection exhibited in the crystal sphere was not accomplished by our civilization until after 1900.

Uses of Crystals

01. Healing, childbirth, crossing over
02. Meditation, awakening, increasing psychic abilities
03. Increasing mental capacity and clarity of thought
04. Science and technology
05. Dematerialization
06. Teleportation
07. Telekinesis
08. Magnetic force fields
09. Libraries
10. Storing records and other knowledge, much like a computer
11. Botany and agriculture
12. Weather Control
13. Huge crystal tower power generators
14. Communication

Crystals have the ability to transfer energy, to retain it, to maintain its intensity, to focus and transmit it over great distance to similar receivers as are equal or comparable to the transmitter. The larger stones, called Fire Crystals, were the central receiving and broadcasting stations, while others acted as receivers for individual cities, buildings, vehicles and homes. On a higher spiritual level, rooms made of crystals were places where the Initiates left their bodies in the Final Transcendence, often never to return.

UFO stops traffic over Florida boulevard

(Before It's News)

openminds.tv

The Charlotte, FL, witness was westbound along Midway Boulevard when traffic slowed to a stop as a UFO moved overhead. Pictured: Charlotte, FL. (Credit: Google)

A Florida witness at Port Charlotte driving westbound along Midway Boulevard at 6:34 p.m. on November 30, 2014, reported getting stopped behind several cars just as a “pretty large white orb” UFO moved overhead, according to testimony in Case 61753 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

“I came to a stop behind a few cars in the middle of the road,” the witness stated. “People were looking up to the north. I head a low humming and saw a pretty large white orb. Inside was a small pill-sized and shaped black- metallic UFO.”

The object was changing colors and moving abruptly up and down before stopping to hover. Pictured: Charlotte, FL. (Credit: Google)

The witness described the object.

“It was changing colors, moved abruptly up and down, east and west, and then it hovered for a half a minute, and flew at an incomparable speed.”

The witness is not familiar with the type of craft that was seen.

“It scared me badly because I used to live near a military base and an airport in Maryland and have never seen any craft like this – it barely made any sound!”

The other drivers at the scene noticed the object too.

The witness was upset by the incident because the object could not be identified. Pictured: Charlotte, FL. (Credit: Google)

“When it shot out of sight, the cars started moving again, but during the incident a male in the car in front of me actually yelled out his window, ‘What the “blank” is that?’ I knew we were all thinking what the heck it really was. I can tell you now – I’m no longer a skeptic when it comes to UFOs.”

Port Charlotte is an unincorporated community in Charlotte County, Florida, population 54,392.

Florida has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Florida had 30 UFO reports that occurred during October 2014 – calculated at 1.55 sightings per million population.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.

Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

UFO Congress in Argentina Highlights Shocking Claims

The Seventeenth International Ufology Congress held in Capilla del Monte addressed major questions about life on Mars and invisible beings. A city in Argentina located 800 kilometers or almost 500 miles west of Buenos Aires, the Capilla del Monte hosted a four-day gathering that ended on Sunday, November 9, 2014.

Argentine and foreign UFO researchers gave updates on their work, discussed their personal experiences, and presented audiovisual records of contacts with alien UFOs. Almost 200 people attended the congress.

The congress was organized by Luz Mary Lopez, who told the audience that they fulfilled the goal of demystifying Mars and showed evidence that people may be closer than they think.

The congress featured some shocking revelations, including those from Andrew Basiago and Laura Eisenhower.

Basiago, who was in the event, and Eisenhower, who made a presentation through Skype, said they both picked by the government on secret missions that involve Mars teletransportation.

Basiago said on a two-hour presentation that he was on Mars 40 times and revealed that there are Martian and human lives in there.

A woman attendee named Mabel said that the UFO gathering gave her chills. She believes that scientists hide so much from the people, and the UFO subject could be true as she has seen UFOs personally.

Astronomer and reporter of a television show, Fernando Correa, supports Basiago’s story saying the Red Planet has evidence on the existence of humans. He explained that Google Mars application has been showing a human base on Mars.

The Mexican astronomer hosted one of the closing talks. He presented security camera videos that apparently show invisible entities and shadows from different parts of the world.

Correa said that the so-called paranormal phenomena, which are difficult to explain with science, actually more normal than the rest in reality.

Silvia Simondini of Vision Ovni center in Victoria city, located 124 miles or 200 kilometers from Buenos Aires, made presentations at the conference of analyses done on spaceship fragments, presented local spacecraft stories, and discussed collective UFO sightings all over Argentina.

Did yesterday's mysterious booms hint at military's HYPERSONIC future

So secret, its existence is not even acknowledged: Futuristic 'Aurora' spy plane that travels at SIX TIMES the speed of sound is blamed for mysterious booms heard at the weekend

• Sounds reported at the weekend from Aberdeen to Devon in the UK
• Similar noises were also reported in Lockport and Clarence in New York 
• A woman in south London managed to record the mysterious bangs  
• One expert claims the noises sound like a 'pulse detonation engine' 
• Conspiracy theorists say power source could be behind a hypersonic US spy plane, dubbed Aurora
• The top-secret Aurora project was first first reported on in 1989 and it could be behind Lockheed Martin's SR-72 plane concept

By Victoria Woollaston for MailOnline

The origin of the mysterious bangs heard across the UK and New York at the weekend are yet to be officially identified.

But a leading theory is that they were created by an aircraft possibly travelling at supersonic or hypersonic speeds above the Atlantic.

This has led conspiracy theorists to attribute the booms to a spy plane rumoured to be under development by the US military, under the codename Aurora.

Scroll down for video 

Aurora is rumoured to be a top secret aircraft that has been in development since 1989. These claims originated in Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine in 1989. In November 2013, Lockheed Martin announced it was developing a similar SR-72 spy plane (illustrated) said to be able to accelerate up to Mach 6

Dr Bhupendra Khandelwal, an engineering research associate from Sheffield, claims the loud bangs were created by a type of experimental jet engine called a pulse detonation engine.  

Claudia Angiletta, a resident from Croydon, South London, recorded the sounds as she was watching TV at home at around 10pm GMT on Saturday.

Dr Bhupendra Khandelwal, an engineering research associate from Sheffield, claims the loud bangs were created by a type of experimental jet engine called a pulse detonation engine.  

Claudia Angiletta, a resident from Croydon, South London, recorded the sounds as she was watching TV at home at around 10pm GMT on Saturday.

Enthusiasts claim that such a supersonic or hypersonic plans could be what caused the strange noises at the weekend. In particular, an expert said the sound is similar to that created by pulse detonation engines. An artist's illustration of what the Aurora plane could look like is pictured

People described it as loud enough to shake their homes and rattle windows.

This has led conspiracy theorists to claim the power source could be behind a hypersonic US spy plane, dubbed Aurora.

Aurora is rumoured to be an ultra top secret aircraft that has been in development since 1989.

It could be a successor to the Mach 3.35 Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird craft that was retired in 1998. 

By comparison, extreme reports claim the Aurora could hit up to Mach 11.8. 

These claims originated in Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine, which ran an article in 1989 about a mysterious entry in the 1985 US budget. 

The entry said $445 million was attributed to 'black aircraft production' under the name Aurora.

These reports did not reference a single craft, instead they discussed a series of planes.

Other reports suggest the Aurora programme kicked off at Lockheed Martin's Skunkworks in 1987. 

The firm was said to be looking into replacing its SR-71 Blackbird, which was later retired in 1998.

However, the former head of Lockheed's Skunkworks division, Ben Rich, said Aurora was a codename for the stealth project which eventually led to the B-2 Spirit.

But, in November 2013, Lockheed Martin announced it was developing a spy plane with similar technologies called SR-72.

The firm said the plane can accelerate up to Mach 6, or 4,567mph (7,349km/h) - three times faster than Concorde. 

Co2corde flew no faster than Mach 2, primarily because the materials weren’t available in the Sixties that could withstand greater heat.

Technology has advanced since then, and the SR-72 will be a so-called ‘warm structure’ - it will heat up rather than reflect the heat using the sort of ceramic tiles that covered the Space Shuttle.

Concorde wasn’t allowed to fly supersonic over land because of the ‘sonic boom’ - the sound associated with the shockwaves created by a craft moving faster than the speed of sound.

Aurora is rumoured to be a top secret aircraft that has been in development since 1989. It could be a successor to the Mach 3.35 Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird craft that was retired in 1998 (pictured). These claims originated in Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine in 1989

A PDE engine works by using force from a series of explosions, caused by mixing a fuel mist and air intake, to thrust itself forward. It can theoretically power planes at five times the speed of sound. A PDE can detonate between 60 and 100 times a second and its contrails appear to look like 'rings on a rope' (pictured), or a spine

According to experts, including Dr Phillip Atcliffe, senior lecturer in aeronautical engineering at Salford University, if a passenger jet flew at Mach 6 at current jet altitudes of around 30,000ft (9,144 metres), the sonic boom could damage buildings.

Officials routinely deny Aurora exists. But that has not dampened the spirits of the theorists, who point to a sighting of a mysterious triangular object by a North Sea oil engineer in August 1989. 

Dr Khandelwal was keen to distance himself from the world of conspiracy theories, though he conceded there could always some things unknown to the public.

‘Of course we can’t know for sure if someone else could have the technology already,' he said.

Dr Khandelwal, is among a team of scientists working on the technology behind such types of 'pulse detonation engine'.

'It makes the same kind of pulsing sound as the one on this audio,' he told MailOnline. 

• WHAT WOULD AN AURORA PLANE LOOK LIKE?    

  Speed: Speeds are reported to be in the range of Mach 5 to 8.

  Length: 110ft (33.5 metres)

  Wingspan: 60ft (18.2 metres)  

  Engine: There are a number of possible engine technologies that have been linked to the Aurora project.

  In November 2013, Lockheed Martin announced it was developing for its SR-72 spy plane (pictured) said to be able to accelerate up to Mach 6

  One in particular, which Dr Bhupendra Khandelwal an engineering research associate from Sheffield believes may have caused the booms heard over the UK and New York, is called a pulse detonation engine (PDE), or pulse detonation wave engine (PDWE). 

  At regular speeds, the craft would be powered by a traditional jet engines built into the lower fuselage. 

  Once it hits supersonic speed, the PDE takes over. 

  A PDE works by sending liquid methane or liquid hydrogen into the engine. The fuel mist is then ignited.

  This detonation is made inside a specially designed chamber and occurs when the aircraft is travelling beyond the speed of sound. 

  At these speeds, a 'thrust wall' is created. 

  This is when the craft is travelling so fast, air is pushed near the nose that creates a 'wall'. 

  When the detonation occurs, the aircraft's thrust wall is pushed forward, and this is repeated numerous times to propel the aircraft forward. 

  Alternatively, pulsejets could compress the air caused as the craft travels forward to make it more streamline, while fuel is ignited in a combustion chamber. 

  The pressure of the expanding gases in this chamber then propel the jet forward.

  Weapons: Rumours claim the Aurora may be equipped with air-to-ground weapons, but this would add weight to the craft, suggesting it is more likely that the plane would be used to reach destinations and reconnaissance missions instead. 
             

  When we run a test engine it’s a real industrial noise and you can hear it for miles. We have people coming to us asking to make less noise or keep it to the daytime.'

  A PDE engine works by using the force from a series of explosions, caused by mixing a fuel mist and air intake, to thrust itself forward. It can theoretically power planes at five times the speed of sound.

  The technology builds upon 'pulsejet' principles which first emerged in the early 1900s and were used in German V-1 flying bombs.

  Test flights using the most recent forms of the technology have lasted only a few seconds, but it is still listed by conspiracy theorists as a possible way of powering the so-called Aurora spy jet.

  
  Concorde flew no faster than Mach 2, mainly because the materials weren’t available in the Sixties that could withstand greater heat. Technology has advanced, and the SR-72 (engine details pictured) will be a so-called ‘warm structure’ - that will heat up rather than reflect the heat
  
  

  Steven Aftergood, a government secrecy expert at the Federation of American Scientists, said: 'If an aircraft is responsible, then it’s worth noting that it may not be local at all.

  'Because the sound wave that causes the boom can be reflected by the stratosphere, the source of the event could conceivably be hundreds or thousands of miles away from the place where it is heard on the ground.'  

  But Dr Andrew Taylor, a senior lecturer in aviation at Buckinghamshire New University, said the noises did not sound like a normal sonic boom.

  WHAT IS HYPERSONIC TRAVEL AND WHAT CAUSES THE SONIC BOOM?

  

  A supersonic plane is one that flies faster than the speed of sound, at Mach 1 or greater, using a jet engine.

  Mach 2.5 is about the speed limit for gas-turbine engines. Any faster and the temperature and pressure of air entering the engine is too high for the turbo machinery inside. 

  To fly at hypersonic speed - Mach 5 and above - requires a different type of engine such as a supersonic-combustion ramjet, or scramjet.

  These engines have no moving parts. Instead of the rotating compressor and turbine in a jet engine, air is compressed and expanded by complex systems of shockwaves under the front of the aircraft, inside the inlet and under the fuselage at the rear.

  Travel becomes hypersonic when  temperatures get so hot that air molecules become unstable and begin losing electrons. At these speeds the air becomes an electrically-charged field.

  At supersonic speeds, air moves through a series of channels until is slowed down to a point where fuel can be more easily injected and ignited. This releases energy and thrust.

  At hypersonic speed, this air moves even faster, which makes it difficult to slow down to the speed of sound and therefore requires specialist fuel and technologies, as seen in engines including the pulse detonation engine (PDE).

  Air reacts like a fluid to supersonic objects. As objects travel through the air, molecules are pushed aside with great force and this forms a shock wave much like a boat creates a bow wave. The width of the so-called boom 'carpet' beneath the aircraft is around one mile (1.6km) for each 1,000ft (304 metres) of altitude

  A PDE can make between 60 and 100 detonations a second. 

  The sonic boom is created  when an aircraft or other type of vehicle flies overhead faster than the speed of sound. 

  Air reacts like a fluid to supersonic objects. As objects travel through the air, the air molecules are pushed aside with great force and this forms a shock wave much like a boat creates a bow wave. The bigger and heavier the aircraft, the more air it displaces. 

  The width of the so-called boom 'carpet' beneath the aircraft is around one mile (1.6km) for every 100ft (30.5 metres) of altitude.

  An aircraft, for example, flying supersonic at 50,000ft (15,240 metres) can produce a sonic boom cone about 50 miles (80km) wide. 

   'Because the sound wave that causes the boom can be reflected by the stratosphere, the source of the event could conceivably be hundreds or thousands of miles away from the place where it is heard on the ground.'

  Steven Aftergood, Federation of American Scientists

  The sonic boom, however, doesn't sound the same at each point.

  The maximum intensity is heard directly beneath the aircraft, and this decreases as the lateral distance from the flight path increases until it ceases to exist because the shock waves refract away from the ground.

  The spread of the sonic boom depends only upon altitude, speed and the atmosphere - and is independent of the vehicle's shape, size, and weight. 

  Although the speed at which it was travelling, and its location above the Atlantic could reduce this altitude and spread. 

  Steven Aftergood, a government secrecy expert at the Federation of American Scientists, said: 'If an aircraft is responsible, then it’s worth noting that it may not be local at all.

  'Because the sound wave that causes the boom can be reflected by the stratosphere, the source of the event could conceivably be hundreds or thousands of miles away from the place where it is heard on the ground.' 

  But Dr Andrew Taylor, a senior lecturer in aviation at Buckinghamshire New University, said the noises did not sound like a normal sonic boom.

  Meanwhile, Professor Trevor Cox, an acoustic engineer from Salford University told MailOnline: 'To have heard a noise simultaneously in New York and the UK, the source of the sound must have been flying half way between.

  'That's an awful long way - about 4,000 miles. You do get cases of sounds travelling a long way, for example, in 2005, sounds from the Buncefield fire travelled around 125 miles to Belgium.

  'But in this instance, it sounds quite unlikely.' 

  'With smaller fighter jets just a single boom would be heard, or, as with Concorde, a "double boom" might be heard from larger aircraft as both the nose and tail cause shock waves,' he said.

  'It sounds like gunfire or other ammunition, similar to what I used to hear as a child growing up in Lincolnshire when the RAF and USAF aircraft used to do bombing runs on the east coast bombing ranges.

  THE RACE FOR SUPERSONIC AND HYPERSONICTRAVEL               

  Scramjets have been under development for decades, but a breakthrough came in May 2013, when the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory’s Boeing X-51A WaveRider flew for 240 seconds over the Pacific on scramjet power, reaching Mach 5.1 and running until its fuel was exhausted.

  Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works - builder of the Mach 3.5 SR-71 Blackbird spyplane - then unveiled plans to develop a successor, dubbed the SR-72, pictured

  The next step is to build a high-speed cruise missile, able to strike distant targets in minutes, not hours.  

  Designed for reconnaissance and strike missions, the SR-72 would combine turbojet and ramjet/scramjet engines to enable the aircraft to take off from a runway, accelerate to a Mach 6 cruise, and then return to a conventional runway landing.

  If it can secure funding from the U.S. Defense Department, Lockheed Martin believes a prototype could be flying as soon as 2023 and the SR-72 could enter service by 2030, potentially paving the way for commercial applications of scramjet technology. 

  'It could be geological or meteorological, but certainly not aeronautical in my opinion.'  

  Many Twitter users suspected sonic booms, similar to ones which shook Kent last month when two RAF jets intercepted a Latvian cargo plane in British airspace.

  But a Ministry of Defence spokesman told MailOnline last night she had no records of any jets being scrambled.

  Others suggested unusual weather conditions might be the source, but the Met Office dismissed those claims and said there was nothing out of the ordinary.

  A spokesman told MailOnline: 'It definitely wasn't meteorological'. 

  The Metropolitan Police said there had been a fireworks display in Croydon, but Twitter users insisted that could not explain sounds in Bedfordshire, Glasgow, North Devon, Leicestershire and West Sussex.

  At around the same time, a loud boom was reported by a number of people in the upstate New York areas of Buffalo, Cheektowaga and Clarence more than 3,000 miles away. 

  People described it as loud enough to shake their homes and rattle windows.

  In the US, in particular, the boom was attributed to a micro-earthquake. 

  But Brian Baptie, seismologist at the British Geological Survey told MailOnline: 'Micro earthquakes are small. 

  'Usually too small for people to feel and it’s extremely unlikely that the noises were caused by this. 

  'Even small earthquakes some have audible phenomenon. For example, the Folkestone earthquake of 2007, that had a magnitude of 4.3, had a loud booming noise.

  'This is because the vibrations travel through the ground, and when this is coupled with the atmosphere it generates sound waves that can be heard over a large distance.

  'But, observing this noise across such a large distance, including across countries, is unlikely.

  

  Many of the reports were picked up by Twitter user Virtual Astronomer (pictured), who said space debris re-entering the earth's atmosphere could have been responsible. He also said he was convinced the noises were created by aircraft sonic booms

  

  One possible explanation is that the loud noise and ground shaking could have been a meteorite breaking up in the atmosphere, which would result in a sonic boom - but this was dismissed by another expert

  'It’s a well-known phenomenon and happens for big earthquakes, but if this was the case it would have been felt as well, too, so it is unlikely the booms would just be down to an earthquake.'

  Ms Angiletta, who recorded the sounds told MailOnline: 'I was just at home watching TV when I couldn't hear the program due to the loud noises. It was very distracting as it went on for ages. 

  'I went out to look for fireworks but I couldn't see anything in the sky. That's when I recorded the clip to send to my family to see if they could hear the same thing.'  

  The 27-year-old said that her family, who live roughly seven miles away in Norbury, south London, could also hear the sounds, which lasted for about 30 minutes. She then turned to Twitter to see if anyone could explain what they were.  

  If an aircraft is responsible, then it’s worth noting that it may not be local at all... The source of the event could conceivably be hundreds or thousands of miles away

  Steven Aftergood, Federation of American Scientists

  Many of the reports were picked up by Twitter user Virtual Astronomer, who said space debris re-entering the earth's atmosphere could have been responsible.

  'Space debris such as old satellites and things can cause sonic booms heard over very large areas,' he told MailOnline. 'It's the same for big meteors or rocks that come in.

  'There was very little wind last night so conditions were perfect for sound to travel very long distances.' 

  Science writer David Dickinson was among the experts who dismissed the meteor theory. 

  He told MailOnline that there was one piece of debris from Russian satellite Kosmos 2251 scheduled for re-entry, but said that the timing was 'not a good fit' for it to have been over the UK. 

  He added: 'I do not think it was a meteor or a piece of space-junk, as the noises mentioned spanned a large segment of time. Plus, unless it was cloudy over the U.K., there would've been visual sightings.

The Truth Behind The Malibu Underwater 'Alien Base'

A little more than 6 miles off the coast of Point Dume in Malibu, California, an unusual-looking structure sits on the sea bed floor. Based on images obtained on Google Earth, the oval-shaped object has a huge flat top and what appear to be pillars or columns that seem to reveal the entrance to a darker, inner place.

The anomaly -- for the moment, we'll call it that -- is approximately 2,000 feet below the surface of the water, measuring nearly 3 miles wide. What exactly is this thing?

According to the website of a California-based radio program, "Fade to Black," this may be "the Holy Grail of UFO/USO [unidentified submerged objects]" that researchers have been looking for over the last 40 years.

Watch this video created by "Fade to Black" radio host Jimmy Church about the Malibu underwater anomaly.

Jimmy Church, who hosts "Fade to Black" on the Dark Matter Radio Network, told The Huffington Post one of his listeners -- someone named Maxwell -- contacted him last month with a Google Earth image showing something odd, underwater off the coast of Malibu. Church then asked graphic designer Dale Romero to capture as many angled images of the anomaly as he could.

"I needed him to find a way to get it under and above the water," Church said. "My first impression was that it was Greek, it looked artificial and didn't look natural.

"When you're looking at it from above, it's a nearly perfect oval shape," Church continued. "In the natural surroundings, nothing is symmetrical. Everything is eroded and covered in rocks and sloping and peaking, and right here, for 2 miles, it is a perfect oval with a black separation or outline to it.

"It just stands out that it has to be some type of roof. It's not unlike a domed stadium or a covered indoor race track or an Olympic arena -- it's got that feel to it. It looks like a perfect oval manmade structure sitting on a construction site."

Using the Google Earth coordinates -- which are, by the way, 34° 1’23.31″N 118° 59’45.64″W -- Church and Romero came up with a series of images, starting from due south, looking north, all the way around and ending up at due north, looking back south.

Check out this Google Earth slideshow of the alleged Malibu Anomaly.



As unusual as this "anomaly" appears, is alien-UFO base the only realistic explanation for it?

"I didn't see anything special about it. I think it's because it looks like there's a flat surface and then, below it, it looks like there are these vertical columns, so somebody can say, 'Oh, this is the entryway to something special,'" said earthquake geologist David Schwartz of the U.S. Geological Survey.

"I think it's natural and is a part of the continental shelf," Schwartz told HuffPost. "It's just a complicated part of what's now offshore that has seen some erosion and, maybe, slumping when perhaps this was partially exposed when sea level was lower. This is a really major earthquake area and perhaps some of these features are a result of slope failures, due to shaking.

"There's no flag under the water that says: 'I'm the entrance to an alien base.' There's nothing unnatural-looking about it -- it's just showing some sort of variation in the offshore coastal morphology," Schwartz said.

Schwartz shared with HuffPost a research paper published in 2009 by the Geological Society of America, showing cross-sections of the anomaly area -- designated as Sycamore Knoll -- by those who actually studied this underwater region.

The following image is from that paper. If you look to the left of the middle of the illustration, you can clearly see the oval-shaped "anomaly" some refer to as an underwater UFO base:

"This is interpreted as a thrust fault," Schwartz said, "meaning one side of the crust moves up over the other -- and what we're looking at is interpreted as being the surface expression of this Dume thrust, which is part of a large fault system in Southern California."

The bottom line, he added, "is that people have recognized this."

Could that be the final truth of what this object is?

HuffPost reached out to John Anthony West, an independent Egyptologist, who won an Emmy award for his research for the 1993 NBC documentary, "Mystery of the Sphinx," in which he and geologist Robert Schoch presented evidence that the Great Sphinx of Giza may be thousands of years older than previously thought.

West examined the images of the Malibu underwater object.

"The pictures are a bit misleading in that it looks as though it's on the shore," West told HuffPost. "My first reaction -- knowing that it was 2,000 feet under the water -- was that, under no circumstances could it, in fact, be artificial, manmade. And I have enough experience, looking at geology and distinguishing between what could perhaps be artificial, and then there's sort of a gray area in-between. As far as I'm concerned, there's no gray area."

West says he's inclined to go along with the geological explanation.

"It doesn't look at all manmade. It has what look like pillars there, but they're unevenly spaced and then, to the right, you see other seemingly pillars still attached, actually, to the bedrock, in the process of forming."

And yet, West acknowledges Unidentified Flying Objects.

"I'm convinced that UFOs are a reality -- there's too much evidence out there. Beyond that, we don't know anything. We don't know who they are, why they're here, [or] how much of this stuff is our own government. A point beyond that is that anything that isn't explained or that can't be explained by current scientific methods, automatically it's aliens. It's the explanation of last resort, and I just don't buy that."

Also weighing in on the Malibu mystery is former FBI Special Agent Ben Hansen, who has an extensive background investigating and analyzing questionable pictures and videos.

Hansen supplied HuffPost with the following Google Earth image of the underwater object in question:

"This was taken from a different angle of the 'mysterious base,'" Hansen told HuffPost in an email. "The dark areas that people are saying look like the inside of the base really starts to look just like shading of indentations to the shelf, and the 'pillars' are now represented as jagged ridges."

Hansen cautions about how we interpret things we see on Google Earth.

"Google obtains their underwater data from several different sources, including satellite radar and echo sonar from the Navy, NOAA, NASA and other agencies. Because they often use very different technologies, the derived information isn't always going to agree. When it doesn't, Google relies on its automatic 3D auto-generation programs to make sense of it.

"We're dealing with limited information to render the graphic because we can see it evidenced in the disparity of image quality between the anomaly and the areas immediately surrounding it," Hansen added. "The blurry sections and jagged edges obviously suggest a patchwork of image processing has taken place."

In the end, we're left with a variety of theories to explain the Malibu anomaly, a.k.a. Sycamore Knoll. Will the UFO-alien-underwater-base proponents be eventually proven right, leaving geologists in the deep blue dust, scratching their heads and wondering how they got it wrong?

West concedes the possibility that this object could be an entrance of sorts, in the same way that the action of moving water can form caves below the surface.

"There's no big mystery to this thing 2,000 feet under the sea in terms of it being an entrance," West said. "Of course, until you get a camera there, you don't know where the entrance is leading. I'd hazard a guess that it doesn't go in too far, and if they do get in there, I think the chances are that they're not going to find the lost treasures of Atlantis."

A Nineteenth Century Japanese Folk Tale Still Inspires UFO-Believers

In the early 1800s, two folk tales circulated around Japan.  Both involved a very strange woman emerging from a very strange ship.  Her dress and appearance seemed out of this world.  What happened?

There are two versions of this story.  One was written in 1825 and one in 1844.  In both versions, some Japanese sailors happened to notice, floating in the ocean, a very strange vessel.  It was circular, which was not so unusual. What caught there attention was that it seemed to have a lid that covered the top of the ship, and glass windows.  When they got it to shore, out came a very beautiful woman holding a very mysterious box.  She wouldn't let anyone touch it.  They couldn't ask her about it, because she didn't speak their language.  All the materials making her ship, her clothes, and her box, were completely unknown to them.  Eventually, the woman went back to her boat, and drifted out to sea again.

Expand

Well, that's the boring 1844 version.  The 1825 version plays out more like an old BBC murder mystery.  You can tell, because the woman is more of a vamp.  She has bright red hair and eyebrows, and red hair with white extensions. Plus, the box was bigger.  The size of the box provided a crafty local with an important clue, and, after consideration, he announced his conclusions.  The woman was a foreign princess who had had an illicit love affair.  The lover had been beheaded, and the princess was put to sea in a craft, with his head in a box.  The villagers, aghast at the hussy in their midst, pushed her and her vessel into the sea again.

As short as it is, the myth about the strange-looking vessel made with foreign materials has become an enduring favorite of ufologists.  They believe that, possibly, a flying saucer crashed in the sea, and washed up on land.  Possibly aliens were trying to blend in by matching our technology, sending flying saucers when we could fly and sailing saucers when all we could do was sail.  When people argue, the ufo believes point to the unnatural substances of the woman's clothes and ship.  They argue that, although people weren't as savvy in those days as we are today, they people in the legend were hardly yokels.  They would have recognized most kinds of materials and most kinds of vessels.  This utterly foreign being might have been crash-landed, or might have been on a scouting ship.

Nasa Secretly in Contact With Aliens? Alleged Ex-Employee's Revelation Fuels UFO Conspiracy

Artist's concept depicting a Viking lander on the surface of Mars.NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona

In a recent development that could easily be part of a Men in Black movie, a woman claiming to be a former Nasa employee revealed that she saw humans on Mars in 1979.

According to a Yahoo News report, the woman, called 'Jackie', called in to American radio station Coast to Coast AM with the claim – which reignited gossip over a 'secret space programme' kept from the general public.

Jackie claims to have seen space-suited humans via a live video feed from Mars - but apparently, the information was covered up by Nasa bosses.

Jackie claimed to have been part of a 'downstairs' team working on downlink telemetry from the Viking Lander - the first vehicle to send back images from the surface of Mars.

"I wonder if you could solve a 27-year-old mystery for me," she asked the presenter. "That old Viking rover was running around. Then I saw two men in space suits – not the bulky suits we normally used, but they looked protective. They came over the horizon walking to the Viking Explorer."

As per Jackie, she along with six others rushed to the main Nasa office to report what they had witnessed, only to have the door shut in their faces.

"We ran upstairs – but they locked the door, and taped paper over the door so we couldn't see. My question is – were they our guys?"

None of the other employees who were allegedly with Jackie when she spotted the aliens have corroborated this story – but UFO sites have joined it with other reports of a 'secret space programme' which began when humans landed on Mars in 1968.

"Conspiracy theorists believe that this is being kept from the ordinary public for various sinister reasons - and that NASA and other governments are covertly in contact with aliens," states the Yahoo report.

"In November 2005, a contact called 'anonymous', who said they worked for the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) started sending information about an extraordinary alien exchange programme, called Project Serpo. Basing his claims on a 3,000-page document written in the late 1970s, he boldly claimed that six aliens were recovered from the Roswell crash.

"Claims that aliens living and/or dead were recovered from the Roswell crash are nothing new, but in this case it was stated that an alien survivor from the crash, called EBE 1, helped to organise twelve specially trained people to visit his home planet Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli solar system. This mission occurred in 1965 and they remained there until 1978. During their stay two of them died, two remained on the planet and the rest, after returning to Earth, have died because of the high levels of radiation they were exposed to on Serpo."

Pakal the ancient Mayan astronaut and his Spacecraft

Maybe one of the best surviving ancient artifacts regarding the ancient astronaut theory is that of the image of a Maya ruler sculpted on the lid of a stone sarcophagus deep within the Temple of Inscriptions pyramid situated at the site of Palenque, Mexico.

The Maya ruler named Pakal the astronaut (Pakal means ‘Sun Shield’) portrayed in relief on that stone slab appears to be seated at a control panel within a housing device, very similar to today's spacecraft.

Survols de nos centrales : et si ce n’était pas des drones ? 

http://www.nexus.fr/actualite/exologie/survols-centrales-ce-netait-pas-drones/

Depuis le 5 octobre, les Français dorment à poings fermés, une bombe sous l’oreiller. Ils font tous le même rêve : d’inoffensifs drones survolent impunément d’inoffensives centrales nucléaires. Tout est sous contrôle et tout est mis en œuvre pour mettre rapidement fin à cette mauvaise plaisanterie… À NEXUS, quand il est question du nucléaire, on a le sommeil léger. Nous avons donc décidé de nous rendre sur place et d’enquêter auprès d’experts, de pilotes, de gendarmes et de témoins.

En comptant le survol de la centrale de Cattenom, en Moselle, dans la nuit du 10 au 11 novembre, on dénombre à ce jour 19 survols détectés depuis le 5 octobre dernier, sans qu’aucun n’ait donné lieu, officiellement, à une interception. Plus étonnant encore, aucune image n’a jamais été diffusée, les médias en étant réduits à passer en boucle le survol historique de Greenpeace ou des images d’archives des centrales sous un ciel désespérément vide.

Incroyable que personne n’ait eu le réflexe de sortir son mobile ou sa caméra pour capturer la moindre image de ces drones, non ? N’y a-t-il aucune trace radar, aucune anomalie captée par une caméra de surveillance ? Pourquoi aucun JT ne s’est-il risqué à reconstituer la trajectoire d’un de ces objets ? Même si EDF avait voulu interdire la diffusion d’images, rien n’empêche aujourd’hui le moindre témoin anonyme de poster son trophée sur la Toile. Seraient-ils impossibles à photographier ?

L’hypothèse ufologique 

Plus le phénomène se prolonge et plus s’éloigne la piste de drones civils. Leur portée limitée, la difficulté à les piloter la nuit et sous les intempéries, la taille évoquée par certains témoins (2m, 6 à 7 m), leur silence (les drones civils produisent un bruit d’hélice), etc., laissent plutôt penser à des appareils militaires. Pourtant, les spécialistes que nous avons interrogés (lire plus loin) ne reconnaissent aucun modèle connu, civil ou militaire, dans les descriptions faites par les témoins. Une question vient alors à l’esprit : pourquoi parle-t-on de drone, alors qu’EDF lui-même fait à chaque fois état d’ »aéronef assimilable à un drone » ?

Parce qu’il est impossible, en France, d’oser parler d’ufos, d’ovnis ou de PANs (phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés) sans risquer sa crédibilité et sa carrière. Paradoxe : nous sommes pourtant l’un des seuls pays au monde à disposer d’un organisme d’État chargé de les étudier. Nous avons ainsi contacté au Cnes (Centre national d’études spatiales), à Toulouse, le Geipan – Groupe d’études et d’informations sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés – qui a en charge officiellement le dossier ovni en France. Sa réponse est nette : « Nous n’avons pas été saisis. C’est EDF et les gendarmes qui ont repéré ces drones et les ont identifiés comme tels. Si un seul témoin lambda les avait vus, sans les identifier comme drones, le rapport d’observation serait arrivé sur le bureau du GEIPAN. » Dont acte !

5 novembre 1990

Cette piste ouvre pourtant d’intéressantes perspectives. Les connaisseurs savent que depuis une cinquantaine d’années, de nombreux ovnis ont été observés au-dessus d’installations nucléaires du monde entier (1). Les survols actuels ne sont pas sans rappeler la vague d’ovnis du 5 novembre 1990… il y a tout juste 24 ans (2). Ce jour-là, à partir de 18 h 30, des objets lumineux avaient été aperçus dans le ciel au-dessus de la France. On estime à plusieurs milliers le nombre de témoins français. À l’époque, on ne parlait pas de drones. Le Cnes conclura à la chute d’un étage d’une fusée russe et l’affaire sera classée. On avait pu lire que certains de ces « débris » projetaient vers le sol des faisceaux lumineux, comme c’est le cas de certains drones actuellement au-dessus de nos centrales . Mais une autre ressemblance nous a frappés : celle entre un croquis d’objet non identifié dessiné par un témoin de cette vague de 1990, à Vert-Saint-Denis (Seine-et-Marne), et le dessin que nous avons recueilli auprès d’un témoin du survol de Golfech (Tarn-et-Garonne), le 30 octobre 2014 (lire plus loin).

Ces deux événements ont-ils un lien ? En dépit des messages « rassurants » des autorités, le phénomène actuel est autrement inquiétant : les objets de 1990 se sont contentés de traverser l’hexagone d’ouest en est, ceux de 2014 montrent un grand intérêt pour notre parc nucléaire, point névralgique de l’approvisionnement énergétique de toute l’Europe, dont la dangerosité n’est plus à démontrer depuis Tchernobyl et Fukushima.

Témoignage : une image, enfin !  

S’agit-il d’engins-espions ou militaires ? Nous avons interrogé des spécialistes de l’aérospatiale, de l’armement et de la sécurité nationale. Mais nous avons d’abord entendu un témoin du survol de Golfech (Tarn-et-Garonne). Nous devons ce témoignage à un enquêteur privé, Michel Turco. Le témoin est âgé d’une quarantaine d’années, il est ingénieur et réside à proximité de la centrale, sur laquelle il a une vue dégagée.

Le soir du 30 octobre, avec un ami, il remarque vers 21 heures environ, dans le ciel, un point lumineux intense. Il pense d’abord à une étoile, mais réalise aussitôt l’absence de corps stellaire aussi bas dans le ciel. La luminosité augmente, faisant penser à un projecteur d’avion « type Airbus ou Boeing, mais c’était trop bas pour que cela soit possible ». Les amis prennent une paire de jumelles, pour mieux voir les détails de cet objet. L’un regarde avec l’optique, l’autre à l’œil nu. Le phénomène est fixe durant une minute. Il semble être au-dessus de Donzac, commune très proche de la centrale, à environ 5 km des observateurs. L’altitude est estimée à 200 m, « pas beaucoup plus haut que les tours de la centrale », précise l’un d’eux.

L’objet prend des photos !   

Quelques instants plus tard, le point commence à bouger à faible vitesse tout en pivotant sur lui-même, comme pour amorcer un virage. Une seconde lumière apparaît sur l’objet, comme un flash se déclenchant très rapidement en continu. L’un des témoins pense que des photos sont réalisées par cet appareil. L’objet bouge toujours et se dirige vers les observateurs, accélérant à une vitesse  comparable à celle d’un avion de type Cessna. Lorsqu’il est à environ 500 m des observateurs, ceux-ci discernent surtout son gros projecteur de lumière blanche. Il semble s’immobiliser pendant environ 20 secondes. À ce moment, la silhouette de l’engin apparaît nettement aux deux amis : « Il avait la forme d’un avion ou d’un drone [ndlr : type drone américain, avion stylisé), ne faisant aucun bruit. On pouvait entendre un engin agricole sur un coteau à droite, mais rien venant de cet objet ». Le témoin principal souligne qu’il a pu voir « deux ailes longues », dont il estime l’envergure entre 6 et 7 m.

D’autres détails apparaissent aux jumelles : deux autres points jaune-blanc aux extrémités des ailes et le spot blanc à l’avant, toujours bien visible. Un autre point lumineux, rouge, situé sous l’objet se détache encore visuellement. L’engin continue alors sa trajectoire vers Agen avant de disparaître aux yeux des deux observateurs. Le témoin principal insiste sur un détail : « Les contours étaient flous, gris sombre ». En fait, cet objet n’aura pas cessé d’évoluer par phase de mouvements et d’arrêts, flashant régulièrement son environnement avec une sorte de spot avant, tout en émettant une lumière rouge ventrale et deux lumières jaune-blanc sur l’arrière.

L’avis d’un expert en aéronautique

Un expert en aéronautique à qui nous avons confié la description des témoins explique : « Un drone de 6 m, c’est très grand, il faut une lourde technologie embarquée. Le profil de l’objet ressemble à celui d’un aéronef furtif, comme certains drones US à turboréacteur. Un bruit très important se fait entende à la sortie de la tuyère. Cette lumière blanche à l’avant est curieuse. Une tuyère d’éjection émet une lueur rougeâtre due de la combustion interne (1 000° environ), une lumière blanche de combustion signifierait une température beaucoup plus importante. Le contour flou fait penser à un effet de rayonnement magnétique. C’est une hypothèse.  Les autres lumières n’ont visiblement aucun intérêt, à part celui d’un camouflage pour passer pour un aéronef civil ».

Version officielle vs témoins civils

La presse locale a précisé que les gendarmes avaient bien suivi un drone sur 9 km, globalement dans la même direction que celle indiquée par les deux témoins. Mais la version officielle, celle livrée par les gendarmes, diffère totalement de celle des deux témoins : « Ce n’est pas un jouet, mais un drone pro à quatre hélices qui a été vu vers 21 h [le 30/10], d’une envergure de 60 cm! ». Ainsi, on peut s’étonner que la seule centrale au-dessus de laquelle deux témoins ont affirmé avoir aperçu un drone « non conventionnel » est aussi celle pour laquelle la presse locale a obtenu des descriptions précises des autorités. Les deux témoins civils de Golfech peuvent-ils s’être trompés à ce point ? Pour ce qui est des autres centrales, il semble que les témoins soient tous des agents d’EDF ou des gendarmes. Sauf information contraire, on ne parvient à obtenir de ces témoins-là aucun détail sur les directions, la motorisation et la taille desdits drones. Golfech semble avoir reçu en fait la visite d’un drone qui n’a rien de civil et qui dépasse le cadre du « droniste » amateur.

Creys-Malville : Un drone de 2 m

Le 3 novembre, vers 19 h 30, deux drones sont aperçus au-dessus du site de Creys-Malville (Isère). Un dispositif est aussitôt mis en place, comprenant notamment  un hélicoptère de la section aérienne de gendarmerie de Bron (Rhône). Cette unité militaire est équipée d’un Eurocopter EC135 doté d’une caméra infrarouge pouvant filmer une plaque minéralogique à plusieurs kilomètres, couplée à un projecteur capable d’éclairer de nuit un stade de foot dans son intégralité. Le drone n’a pas été « retrouvé ». L’on sait seulement que l’un des deux appareils non identifiés mesurait deux mètres de diamètre. Le couple de drones se déplaçait dans le sens Sud-Nord.

L’avis d’un pilote

Un pilote d’avion connaissant bien la région nous confie : « L’affaire de Creys-Malville m’étonne. Au moment de l’observation, il faisait nuit, avec une météo très pluvieuse et venteuse. Pour se repérer dans la nuit avec ces conditions – avec un drone mesurant 2 m – il faut être à l’affût, et le pilote du système radio-télécommandé doit être super fort. Je ne connais pas un amateur de modélisme chevronné qui puisse faire voler son appareil avec des rafales de vent de 70 km/h. De plus, il y a un réel danger. Faire voler deux drones en simultané la nuit, c’est un exploit. À part les militaires utilisant le guidage satellitaire avec des engins très performants, je ne vois rien d’autre. Peut-on imaginer des petits malins ayant piraté des satellites GPS. C’est une option complexe ».

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

Encadré : Les drones du commerce

Les drones civils vendus dans les magasins de modélisme sont à structure carrée ou ovale. Ils mesurent de 30 à 90 cm de diamètre en moyenne, pour une épaisseur de 15 à 40 cm. Il ressemble à des sortes d’insectes, mais pas à des avions ni à des disques volants. Sans vraie ossature, ils sont munis de petites hélices et sont difficiles à piloter la nuit. Dans tous les cas, leur portée est limitée à quelques centaines de mètres. Ce sont des distances théoriques, car même équipé de petite caméra, il est recommandé de ne pas perdre le drone de vue pour éviter d’en perdre le contrôle. Certains sont équipés de GPS pour qu’ils restent en contact radio avec la télécommande. Les prix des drones civils varient de 150 à 2 000 euros en moyenne. Des jouets de moins de 10 cm peuvent coûter quelques dizaines d’euros.

……………

L’embarras des autorités

« Nous n’avons aucune piste pour le moment », lançait le 2 novembre Ségolène Royal, ministre de l’Environnement, avouant ainsi que les autorités n’avaient pas identifié la source des survols illicites. Le 6 novembre, nous avons interrogé le secrétariat général de la Défense et de la sécurité nationale qui nous a renvoyé au communiqué officiel diffusé le 1er novembre,   selon lequel « des survols de drones sont actuellement effectués de manière répétée et simultanée sur certains sites nucléaires de notre pays. L’objectif manifestement recherché par ce type de provocation organisée est de perturber la chaîne de surveillance et de protection de ces sites. L’ensemble des services de l’État, en charge de la sécurité et de la sûreté des points d’importance vitale, sont mobilisés depuis le début des survols pour identifier les responsables de ces actes et y mettre un terme ».

Le 30 octobre, Bernard Cazeneuve,  ministre de l’Intérieur, indiquait que « des dispositions sont prises pour neutraliser les drones qui survolent illégalement les centrales nucléaires ». Plus de dix jours plus tard, ces dispositions n’ont pas démontré leur efficacité.

De son côté, l’armée de l’air tient à minimiser la menace éventuelle. Le colonel Jean-Pascal Breton, son porte-parole, souligne « qu’ils étaient de petite taille.  Le niveau de menace n’est pas jugé significatif pour nous, pour générer la mise en place de dispositifs particuliers, autre que ceux qui sont mis en place actuellement ».

Dans un communiqué publié en interne chez EDF, on apprend que le site du CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique), centre de recherche et d’innovations de premier plan au niveau européen, situé à Saclay dans l’Essonne, a également été survolé dès le 5 octobre, soit au tout début de la vague.

Vague de déni

Devant cette vague de drones, les autorités semblent s’enfoncer dans le déni. Quoi qu’il en soit, le phénomène aura mis en lumière, comme ont tenté de le faire auparavant des activistes anti-nucléaires,  la vulnérabilité  insoutenable de nos centrales. Il aura montré que le système de défense classique n’a pas tenu compte de certains scénarios… comme celui de phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés. Au milieu de toutes les interrogations que soulève cette  affaire et quels que soient les responsables de ces intrusions, la question essentielle est peut-être :  quelles peuvent être leurs motivations ? Nous sauver, nous espionner, nous surveiller, nous détruire ? Dans tous les cas, ils nous dominent.

Many Believe On the Existence of Intelligent Extraterrestrials But Many Also Fear on the Possibility of Contacting Bad Alien Civilization

The existence of intelligent life beyond in Earth is being believed by many. Several polls revealed that most people share this belief. But, is it right to contact intelligent aliens?

This question was asked to 1,000 adults in the U.S. as part of a YouGov/Huffington Post survey, which was conducted from July 17 to 19, 2014.

Fifty percent responded that they thought there’s intelligent life on other planets while nineteen percent believe the opposite and thirty-one percent said they were not sure.

Forty-six percent are optimistic about the possibility that humans can make contact with intelligent life on other planets while twenty-tree percent think it is not possible, and thirty-one percent aren’t sure.

While many of those being surveyed are confident about the ability of humans to contact extraterrestrials, many are uneasy about the attempt to contact with alien civilizations. Only thirty-seven percent feel that it is a good idea to attempt in contacting aliens while twenty-seven percent believe that it’s a bad idea, and thirty-six percent were not sure.

The fear of alerting evil alien cultures is the main concern of people about contacting unknown extraterrestrial civilizations. Others think that there are other more important matters that need funding than attempting to contact with extraterrestrials, even if it does work.
