Another alleged UFO sighting near volcano in Mexico (VIDEO)
Another alleged UFO sighting near volcano in Mexico (VIDEO)
A new video shows a UFO flying near Popocatépetl in central Mexico.
Popocatépetl is an active volcano that erupted as recently as 2013. Several UFOs have been reported near the volcano in recent years. Witnesses have recorded mysterious aerial objects on video. And some of these videos have allegedly shown UFOs entering the volcano.
The latest Popocatépetl UFO video was uploaded to YouTube on November 23. The Epoch Times appropriately describes the UFO in this video as a “white and blurry object.” The camera follows this blurry object as it flies across the sky.

The blurry video makes it impossible to make out any physical details of the flying object. But the object’s behavior and flight path are straight and smooth as the UFO appears to gradually descend. Additionally, it is difficult to determine just how close the unknown object is to the volcano and its neighboring mountain range.
It is important to note that there are several airports in the areas surrounding Popocatépetl from which the volcano is visible. Hermanos Serdán International Airport is one of those airports. Because the object in this latest video behaves like a conventional airplane on a landing approach, this is a likely identification for this latest UFO near Popocatépetl.

Popocatépetl has become known as somewhat of a UFO hotspot due to the number of sightings in the surrounding area. Actress Shirley MacLaine even took Australian Ambassador to the United States Andrew Peacock to the volcano to watch the skies for UFOs because people there “were having so many UFO sightings.” According to MacLaine, the two skywatchers did see multiple UFOs near Popocatépetl.

A Pennsylvania witness at Lancaster County reported watching and stopping to photograph an orange, rod-shaped UFO that appeared to be hovering in the sky 2-3 miles away about 1:24 a.m. on December 1, 2014, according to testimony in Case 61763 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving home from work when a “long, bright orange light” was noticed in the western sky.
The object appeared to be 50 yards wide, just a few meters tall and hovering 2-3 miles away. Pictured: A typical Lancaster County farm with a horse-drawn farm implement and a corn field behind. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
“The light was the most intense in the center and at the ends, but it was constant, almost like fiber optic,” the witness stated. “It appeared to be 50 yards wide, just a few meters tall, and 2-3 miles away. The object was hovering.”
As the witness drove through hills, the object would appear and disappear from view. When the object came into view again, the witness pulled over to take a photograph.
“When I parked and stepped out of my car the object rotated in place and was now very narrow and was shining white – almost like a position light.”
The witness watched as the object then moved quickly away.
“The object than flew west in a straight line and vanished quickly. As it vanished a bluish burst of light engulfed the object. This happened so fast I wasn’t able to capture a picture. I was so curious I drove towards where it had just been hoping to see some evidence of something but found none. I wouldn’t believe any of this had I not seen it myself. Truly unexplainable.”

No photos or videos were included with the MUFON report.
Lancaster County is located in the south central part of the Pennsylvania, population 519,445.
Pennsylvania has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Pennsylvania had 19 UFO reports that occurred during October 2014 – calculated at 1.49 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.
(N.Morgan) Unidentified Flying Objects-UFOs, have been seen worldwide with over 350 sightings per month now. What are these crafts and more importantly, who do they belong to? Are these military vehicles, posed to attack an enemy? UFO sightings have been officially recorded in Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, Australia and the United Kingdom, but the most complete records were those of Project Blue Book. The earliest UFO sightings in recorded history can be found in 4th century Chinese texts claiming that a “moon boat” hovered above China every 12 years. Other enthusiasts cite the Book of Ezekiel, in which a curious vessel dropped from the sky and landed in Chaldea, in modern-day Kuwait. A wave of sightings occurred near Rome in 218 B.C. and again in Germany in 1561. During World War II, Allied pilots coined the term foo fighters for the bizarre orbs of light that some insisted flew alongside their planes during combat.
Over the years, thousands have stepped forward to claim they’ve seen — or been abducted by — UFOs. Among these witnesses are more than a few famous names. Miyuki Hatoyama, wife of the current Japanese Prime Minister, wrote in a 2008 autobiography that one night while she was sleeping “my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus.” (Her soul was later returned.) U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich provided one of the oddest moments in the tumultuous 2008 presidential elections when he affirmed in a televised debate that in the 1980s, he and actress Shirley MacLaine witnessed an unidentified flying object over her house. “You have to keep in mind,” he told Tim Russert, “that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs than I think approve of George Bush’s presidency.”
Verklaring voor wereldwijde explosies in de lucht ( Video )
Vreemde onverklaarbare explosies die huizen en ramenlaten trillen en er is geen duidelijke oorzaak.
De wetenschap staat voor een raadsel en heeft geen antwoorden.
Afgelopen zondag waren er getuigen die een vreemde explosie meldden boven Den Haag waar op een zeker moment ook een oranje vuurbol bij te zien was.
De avond ervoor, zaterdag, werden door heel Engeland vreemdsoortige knallen in de lucht waargenomen.
Het vreemde was dat de geluiden zowel in het noorden zoals in Aberdeen, waren te horen, maar ook in het zuiden zoals in Devon.
Een vrouw in Croydon, gelegen in het zuiden van Londen, slaagde erin om via haar mobiele telefoon dit soort vreemde geluiden vast te leggen.
In sommige gevallen waren de knallen zo hard dat de huizen en ramen trilden.
Volgens de Engelse meteorologische dienst hadden de geluiden niets te maken met het weer want er waren geen omstandigheden die aanleiding gaven voor zoiets.
Normaal gesproken krijgen militaire vliegtuigen meestal de schuld omdat ze door de geluidsbarrière gevlogen zouden zijn, maar ook daar is dit keer volgens de RAF geen sprake van.
Uiteraard krijg je dan de speculaties over wat het geweest zou kunnen zijn. Dat zijn er teveel om op te noemen. Omdat het geluid in Engeland ook wel wat lijkt op artillerievuur of iets dergelijks dachten een aantal mensen dat de Derde Wereldoorlog was uitgebroken.
Andere theorieën waren vuurwerk, delen van een satelliet die de atmosfeer van de aarde binnenkwamen, geheime spionagevliegtuigen of meteoren. Kortom, niemand heeft enig idee.
Op hetzelfde moment dat het geluid in Engeland te horen was, werd het ook waargenomen door een getuige in Brussel. Opvallend genoeg werd rond dezelfde tijd ook een vreemde explosie gemeld door inwoners van de Amerikaanse staat New York, aan de andere kant van de oceaan.
Vooralsnog blijven de geluiden in Engeland een mysterie en het is nog maar de vraag of er ooit een aannemelijke verklaring voor gevonden zal worden.
Wanneer we kijken naar wat er aan verschijnselen de afgelopen tijd is toegenomen, dan zijn er twee dingen die eruit springen.
De eerste is dat er steeds vaker een soort dimensieportalen worden waargenomen, waarbij UFO's worden gesignaleerd die er met grote snelheid in verdwijnen, zoals in de wolk en de vulkaan in Mexico.
De krachten die vrijkomen bij dergelijke gebeurtenissen zijn enorm zoals vooral te zien is in de video waarbij een UFO met fenomenale snelheid in een wolk verdwijnt om daaruit niet meer tevoorschijn te komen. De omschrijvingen van dergelijke wolken door getuigen lijken veel op onweersbuien.
Daarnaast is er nog het verschijnsel van de vuurballen in de lucht wat de laatste jaren ook sterk is toegenomen. Hierna een overzicht van waarnemingen het afgelopen jaar en dan zie je dat dit veelvuldig voorkomt op het noordelijk halfrond.
Zoals we enkele dagen geleden hebben kunnen zien is NASA druk met het misleiden van de bevolking betreffende de toename van het aantal vuurballen in de lucht.
In werkelijkheid is die de afgelopen jaren spectaculair geweest en worden ook door mensen explosies in de lucht gemeld.
Wie weet zijn beide door ons in dit artikel genoemde mogelijke oorzaken toch ook weer gerelateerd. In die zin dat beiden wellicht te maken hebben met de nadering van de planeet Niburu.
De planetoïdengordel of hoofdgordel is een regio in het zonnenstelsel ruwweg tussen de planeten Mars en Jupiter, waar de grootste concentratie van planetoïdenbanen zich bevindt. De afstand tot de zon bedraagt tussen de 2,1 en 3,3 AE. De term planetoïdengordel kan ook in algemene zin worden gebruikt voor andere soortgelijke gebieden zoals de Kuipergordel.
Iets zorgt voor een verstoring van deze gordel, relatief dicht in onze buurt. Maar niet alleen deze, ook in de Oortwolk aan buitenrand van ons zonnenstelsel gebeurt dit, waardoor het aantal objecten uit de ruimte zoals asteroïden en meteoren die onze kant opkomen de afgelopen jaren sterk zijn toegenomen. Volgens cijfers van The American Meteor Society zijn het aantal waarnemingen van vuurballen in de lucht tussen 2010 en 2012 verdubbeld.
Asteroïden zijn vaak afkomstig vanuit de planetoïdengordel, terwijl kometen veelal vanuit de Oortwolk afkomstig zijn. Voor diegenen die in verwarring raken met asteroïden, meteorieten en kometen, hier een duidelijke uitleg.
Volgens het Skyview Team, een groep amateurastronomen, die een onbekende planeet hebben ontdekt in de Kuipergordel is deze verantwoordelijk voor alle verstoringen. Misschien wel de onbekende planeet Nibiru. Zij noemen deze planeet KBO (Kuiper Belt Object). Ook de komeet ISON is waarschijnlijk één van die kometen die door de aanwezigheid van Nibiru onze kant is opgeslingerd, volgens het Skyview Team.
Diverse mensen maken melding van een enorme knal boven Den Haag rond 15:00 uur gisteren, zondagmiddag.
Volgens een getuige: “een oranje bol en een enorme vuurzee in een kort moment.”
Update: 2 december 2014
Naar aanleiding van de vreemde grote knal in de lucht boven Den Haag hebben wij een aantal reacties ontvangen. Hartelijk dank!
Een aantal mensen is van mening dat we hier toch te maken hadden met een onweersbui, hoewel de weersomstandigheden dit niet echt deden vermoeden.
Anderen zoeken de verklaring voor deze enorme knal in een andere richting en opmerkelijk is ook dat deze knal niet alleen boven Den Haag werd gehoord, maar op meerdere plaatsen.
Hier volgen de reacties:
Reactie 1:
Uw verhaal over een knal, komt hier wel meer voor. U weet dat het mieserig en mistig weer het gevolg is van Geoinginering, dus zware metalen en vergiften gesproeid op grotehoogte voor de mensheid in te nemen. Welnu om die troep sproei-hoogte op de juiste plek op de aarde te krijgen is natuur een kunst, vandaar gebruiken ze een super lage frequentie, d.m.v. Haarp. Dit heeft een spanningsverschil met de rest van de lucht, vandaar een knal of immitatie onweer.
Reactie 2:
Even een reactie op het artikel :onweer in den haag. Ik woon ook op de leyweg en ik kan u verzekeren dat het gewoon onweer was en niets anders. Het was de hele dag al dreigend,en zoals ze op het journaal al zeiden,was er heel laaghangende bewolking wat eigenlijk op zeer dichte mist leek. Dat we geen onweerswolken zagen was dus heel normaal. En hoe zien onweerswolken er eigenlijk uit volgens onze andere persoon op de leyweg?
Reactie 3:
Woon op de rand van Loosduinen en inderdaad gistermiddag tijdens een flauw regenbuitje vanuit de richting winkelcentrum Leyweg een raar gerommel klinkend als onweer, luttele seconde onderbroken. Ik heb in de lucht niets gezien, zat met mijn rug naar het raam.
Reactie 4:
Hier in Voorburg is de knal zeker ook gehoord omstreeks 15.00 in de middag 30 november 2014. Het vreemde hiervan is dat het eerst heel erg donker werd dat het nacht leek wat ik zeer vreemd vond. In de lucht zie men geen wolken meer staat lucht strak grijs en erg donker. Later hoorde ik de knal en regende het kort en hard.
Eerder heb ik jullie een foto gestuurd dat ook hier in Voorburg een ufo gespot was afgelopen zomer. Ik spreek jonge mensen die zich zeer onprettig voelen en voelen dat er iets staat te gebeuren dat niet positief is.
Mensen voelen verward en krijgen last van depressies en hebben slapeloze nachten van het hele gebeuren wat allemaal in de lucht gebeurd wat ons staat te verwachten wat ons niet wordt vertelt. Wel vreemd dat de lucht maar zeer strak staat en er totaal geen wolken meer aan de hemel te zien is. We vermoeden dan ook dat er inderdaad bewust gespoten wordt en de lucht zo strak staat dat de moederschepen niet te zien is door mensen. mensen zeggen en voelen dat het er negatieve krachten aan het werk zijn,
Dat er twee krachten aan het werk zijn, zowel het goede als het kwade. Het licht heeft geen ufo's nodig. Het kwade zijn hagedissen/demonen die zich verschansen in ufo's. Hagedissen in menselijke gedaantes, zo wordt het verteld omdat zij de wereld willen veroveren om mensen te mobiliseren als slaven en de rest wil uitroeien.
Als dit zo is dan zijn mensen niet meer veilig op deze planeet. Mensen zullen tot zelfmoord over gaan in deze vreselijke tijden.
Reactie 5:
Via facebook las ik het bericht over de enorme knal die in Den Haag plaatsvond. Ik woon zelf in Leiden en hoorde op datzelfde tijdstip een enorme harde onweersachtige knal. Dit was eenmalig. Mijn zoon van 13 kwam naar de woonkamer en meldde dat hij ook een enorme onweersknal had gehoord. Het was maar 1 keer, zo hard klaarblijkelijk dat het zelfs in Leiden te horen was.
Reactie 6:
Gistermiddag wandelde ik in park Velserbeek, even ten oosten van IJmuiden, toen ik een flinke donderklap hoorde, op mijn horloge was het toen precies 15.15 uur. De donderslag rommelde lang door; ik denk toch dat het onweer was, want voor mijn wandeling zag ik op buienradar dat er voor de kust, maar nog wel boven open zee, enige onweersactiviteit werd weergegeven op de buienradar. Maar na deze donderslag heb ik geen enkel onweer meer kunnen waarnemen/horen.
Reactie 7:
Met een paar vrienden bespraken wij het weer maar ook de dichte luchten van tegenwoordig (chemtrails). Ik zei dat het gisteren zelfs onweerde boven Haarlem maar nu lees ik jullie artikel 'Enorme knal boven Den Haag' en denk ik: verrek, het was inderdaad één hele harde knal. Het begon daarna te regenen, mijn kinderen kwamen ook angstig naar binnen omdat de knal zo hard was. Dit was ook rond 15:00 uur. Om 16:00 uur was het gewoon al donker en regende het nog harder.
Reactie 8:
Ook mijn dochter die in Warmond woont vertelde me dat ze gistermiddag ineens een enorme "donderslag" hoorde en ze dacht dus dat dat onweer was. Maar die klap bleef de enige. Wel vreemd dus hè?
Reactie 9:
Gisteren regende het ook bijna de gehele dag in Tilburg, en het moment dat ik vanaf de bushalte naar mijn kantoor liep werd ook ik verschrikt door een onvoorstelbaar vreemde en harde klap vergezeld met een flits welke alles verlichtte, geen normale bliksem of onweer in mijn opzicht.
Opmerkelijk was dat ik geen flits heb gezien en voorafgaande aan de knal en daarna er geen enkele meer geweest is, gewoon één enkele knal en Thats it.
Origineel artikel: 1 december 2014:
Gisterenmiddag heeft het vooral in het westen van het land op diverse plaatsen even hevig geregend. Voor zover bekend waren dat geen onweersbuien en toch is er in Den Haag iets gebeurd wat lijkt op een onweersbui, maar het wellicht toch niet is.
Wij ontvingen het volgende bericht van een lezer (dank!):
Deze zondag is er iets opmerkelijks gebeurd ter hoogte van de Leyweg in Den Haag. Ik woon daar om de hoek.
Het was in het middaguur, ergens rond een uur of 15:00. Ik zat bij het raam met mijn rug ernaartoe. Het regende heel zachtjes, het miezerde. Geen onweerswolken.
Plotseling klonk er een oorverdovend gekraak en een oorverdovende knal hoog in de lucht.
Terwijl ik me omdraaide zag ik vanuit mijn ooghoeken dat het gepaard ging met licht. Het leek wel of een compleet flatgebouw ontplofte. De rest van de dag was er totaal geen onweer.
Ik ben mijn balkon op gegaan om te zien wat er speelde. Niks meer te zien. Wel denderde het flink na in de wolkenlaag. Ook anderen kwamen naar buiten om te zien wat er aan de hand was. Het was echt een enorme klap.
Later op de dag sprak ik mijn tante, zij woont bij mij weer om de hoek. Zij woont hoger en heeft het stukken beter kunnen zien. Zij was zich ook een hoedje geschrokken.
Ze sprak over een oranje bol en een enorme vuurzee in een kort moment.
Nergens op internet ben ik nog meldingen tegengekomen over dit voorval, wat het ook mag zijn.
Tot zover de lezer.
Was hier sprake van toch een onweersbui met een vreemde oranje-achtige bolbliksem of wat het iets anders?
Een oranje bol in combinatie met een onweerswolk doet ook denken aan het verhaal van de getuige uit Friesland.
Graag vernemen wij of er mensen zijn in Den Haag die ook deze enorme knal hebben gehoord en wellicht ook iets hebben gezien.
‘Eye of Sauron’ Provides New Way of Measuring Distances to Galaxies
‘Eye of Sauron’ Provides New Way of Measuring Distances to Galaxies
The center of galaxy NGC 4151, dubbed the "Eye of Sauron". (NASA*)
A team of scientists, led by Dr Sebastian Hoenig from the University of Southampton, have developed a new way of measuring precise distances to galaxies tens of millions of light years away, using the W. M. Keck Observatory near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
The method is similar to what land surveyors use on earth, by measuring the physical and angular, or ‘apparent’, size of a standard ruler in the galaxy, to calibrate the distance from this information.
The research, which is published in the journal Nature, was used to identify the accurate distance of the nearby NGC4151 galaxy, which wasn’t previously available. The galaxy NGC4151, which is dubbed the ‘Eye of Sauron’by astronomers for its similarity to the film depiction of the eye of the character in The Lord of the Rings, is important for accurately measuring black hole masses.
Recently reported distances range from 4 to 29 megaparsecs, but using this new method the researchers calculated the distance of 19 megaparsecs to the supermassive black hole.
Indeed, as in the famous saga, a ring plays a crucial role in this new measurement. All big galaxies in the universe host a supermassive black hole in their centre and in about a tenth of all galaxies, these supermassive black holes are growing by swallowing huge amounts of gas and dust from their surrounding environments. In this process, the material heats up and becomes very bright — becoming the most energetic sources of emission in the universe known as active galactic nuclei (AGN).
The hot dust forms a ring around the supermassive black hole and emits infrared radiation, which the researchers used as the ruler. However, the apparent size of this ring is so small that the observations were carried out using infrared interferometry to combine W. M. Keck Observatory’s twin 10-meter telescopes, to achieve the resolution power of an 85m telescope.
To measure the physical size of the dusty ring, the researchers measured the time delay between the emission of light from very close to the black hole and the infrared emission. This delay is the distance the light has to travel (at the speed-of-light) from close to the black hole out to the hot dust.
By combining this physical size of the dust ring with the apparent size measured with the data from the Keck interferometer, the researchers were able to determine a distance to the galaxy NGC 4151.
Dr Hoenig says: “One of the key findings is that the distance determined in this new fashion is quite precise — with only about 10 per cent uncertainty. In fact, if the current result for NGC 4151 holds for other objects, it can potentially beat any other current methods to reach the same precision to determine distances for remote galaxies directly based on simple geometrical principles. Moreover, it can be readily used on many more sources than the current most precise method.
“Such distances are key in pinning down the cosmological parameters that characterise our universe or for accurately measuring black hole masses. Indeed, NGC 4151 is a crucial anchor to calibrate various techniques to estimate black hole masses. Our new distance implies that these masses may have been systematically underestimated by 40 per cent.”
Dr Hoenig, together with colleagues in Denmark and Japan, is currently setting up a new program to extend their work to many more AGN. The goal is to establish precise distances to a dozen galaxies in this new way and use them to constrain cosmological parameters to within a few per cent. In combination with other measurements, this will provide a better understanding of the history of expansion of our universe.
NEW FOOTAGE OF PHOENIX LIGHTS SHOWS MILITARY INVOLVEMENT
PHOENIX, AZ– The events in Arizona on March 13th, 1997 known as THE PHOENIX LIGHTS, remains a mystery, however journalist David Collins has come forward with some answers. Newly released classified footage of the infamous lights depicts military craft over the Phoenix basin engaging unknown aircraft.
The Phoenix Lights were seen by thousands of Arizona residents on the evening of March 13, 1997, and 17 years after the incident, it is still a debated event. The military’s official explanation claimed the lights were flares from their aircraft. Collins footage verifies Air Force craft were present, but the other objects in the video are noticeably not military.
Collins is a freelance journalist from KWBV6 News Phoenix, and reportedly obtained the footage during a separate investigation. Air Force officials have made no comment on the footage.
Collins has stated he will post more images and videos via his Twitter feed: @David_P_Collins
By Juan von Trillion. The range of the implications of the earth being hollow are important. Hugely, massively (pun) important. They go as far as explaining dozens of anomalies that surround us. All freaking kinds of parallel, alternative, weird and conspiratorial ideas. Ideas which are becoming mainstream, and not that it matters what a majority of any kind thinks or what opinions it holds. The masses are dark (doesn't) matter in the larger scheme of things.
This is how the Inner Earth could look like from a human perspective.
Probably the most fantastic expedition ever conducted by sea to a place never seen from sea level.
The North Pole Inner Earth Expedition has gotten funding from a New York production company with a departure date set for July, 2013. According to legend, in an oceanic depression above the Arctic Circle is an entrance to an Inner Earth, and through the use of gyroscopes on the ship, they'll be to identify such a depression.
In ancient times, the idea of subterranean realms seemed arguable, and became intertwined with the concept of "places" such as the Greek Hades, the Nordic svartalfheim, the Christian Hell, and the Jewish Sheol (with details describing inner Earth in Kabalistic literature, such as the Zohar and Hesed L'Avraham - Hollow Earth Hypothesis).
The idea of a subterranean realm is also mentioned in the Vedic texts such as the Puranas, according to one story in the Puranas there is an ancient city called Shamballa which is located inside the earth, the belief in Shamballa as a city inside the earth is also found in Tibetan Buddhism. The concept of a subterranean land inside the earth is popular in mythology, folklore and legends in ancient times.
Below an interview with Brooks Agnew in where Mr. Agnew talks about the upcoming North Pole Inner Earth Expedition.

UFO mania: The Great Wall of Texas Could Change History
UFO mania: The Great Wall of Texas Could Change History
Usually, when someone thinks of the “Great Wall,” instantly China comes to mind. But, Texas holds a “Great Wall” of its own, roughly 3.5 miles wide by 5.6 mile long. It’s quite small compared to the length of the Great Wall of China. However, resting at least 40 feet high, it was quite an achievement for whoever built it—if it is indeed man-made.
Discovered in 1852 by three farmers who were digging a well, the Great Wall of Texas has received little attention over the years from the scientific and archaeological community. Harvard-trained architect John Lindsey and geologist James Shelton have been among the scientists calling for further investigation into the anomalies of this structure.
If it is man-made (rather than a natural formation), it could require a reevaluation of history. The nearby Caddo Native American tribe has no history of building such structures, and it’s commonly accepted that they were also incapable of building the structure.
“After compiling past records, data, and documents, including recent studies and research, evidence of a prehistoric structure built by man is mounting,” said Architect John Lindsey in 1996, according to the Rockwall County Historical Foundation.
A home video filmed during an excavation at the site in 1998:

Why Are Aliens Visiting Earth? The Answer May Surprise You
Why Are Aliens Visiting Earth? The Answer May Surprise You
UFOs Have Been Visiting Earth For a Long Time, Why?
While many acknowledge the presence of extraterrestrials in our world they are at a complete loss to explain why they are here. As with most things in life the explanation is fairly straightforward and not that difficult to comprehend. Understanding the primary motive for extraterrestrials visits will help explain the UFO Phenomena.
Most people believe that extraterrestrials are visiting Earth to monitor the progress and behavior of humanity. To a certain extent that might be true, but it is much more likely that they are periodically coming here to examine the health of Planet Earth. After all, even our scientist are beginning to come around to the idea that Planet Earth is a living sentient being. In the greater cosmos, human and extraterrestrial life may be fairly common. On the other hand what little we know about other planets, and the universe at large, indicate that our home planet is an extremely desirable and rare occurrence within the cosmos.
People have wondered for a long time why ET has not made their presence known. If we are not the primary reason why they are here, why would they disclose their existence. The survival of mankind is probably very far down their list of priorities. For that matter survival of humanity may not even be on their list of priorities. Have you ever stopped to consider that Planet Earth has more value to an alien race if there were no humans inhabiting the planet.
Everything we need to sustain life has been provided for us on Planet Earth. We are blessed with an abundance of water, sunshine, breathable air, enough land and food to house and feed 7 billion people. We share Earth with millions of species of plant, animal and insect life, each playing an important role in the ecosystem, that in itself is remarkable. It makes our planet an astonishing place, a very rare and unusual gem among the stars.
Those that follow UFOs closely, know the largest wave of UFO sightings in modern time coincided with the discovery of splitting the atom and the use of Atomic Energy during WWII. In other words, when we discovered how to manipulate nuclear energy we triggered an unprecedented wave of UFO sightings.
There are well documented cases of UFOs hovering over nuclear military facilities in both the United States and Russia. Reliable witnesses state that the craft were tampering with the nuclear armament control systems. This behavior by UFOs and their occupants was not an accident and it was clearly a message to humanity.
Many people 'want' to believe that if things get out of control and WWIII gets under way our extraterrestrial brethren will step in and save humanity, nothing could be further from the truth. ET may step in and save Planet Earth, but they will have little time and no admiration for a species that never understood how good they had it in the first place.
There is little doubt that Earth's oceans, forest and species of plants and animals are worth saving. The living, breathing, self-regulating sentient being that we are living on is at the core of their mission.
UFOs have a long and documented history of appearing just after natural or man-made catastrophic events. There is not much question that they are keeping their eye on the prize we call Earth.

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
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
Atlanteans allegedly harnessed the energies of the pyramids, using harmonics linked to crystals to that end. As we have the Great Pyramid at the center of the planet linked to the grid matrix that creates our reality, so, too, did the Atlanteans.
Their pyramid allegedly sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean which is a metaphor about returning to the collective unconsciousness or source of creation.
Grids point are often marked by pyramids. The Atlanteans used this energy, combined with crystals, to transmit energy from one pyramid to another or, as aliens, to enter and leave the planet.
Mystery Energy Beam
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.

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.
ENORMOUS TRIANGLE UFO SHAPED CRAFT OVER LOUISIANA NOVEMBER 5, 2014 ……. ZACHARY LOUISIANA
Large Triangle with Loud Rumbling Sound Moving Northwest in Baton Rouge. I was on my front porch looking at my phone when I suddenly hear a low rumbling noise that began to slowly get louder. At first being near Baton Rouge with our chemical plants, I thought the noise was the plant kicking up their flame stacks to burn more chemicals. Sometimes at night they do this and you can hear it for about 30 minutes to an hour. I walked out to get a better idea of which direction it was coming from and immediately noticed a group of flashing lights in the sky. I knew this couldn’t be airplanes flashing in the distance because of first off the lights were in a triangle shape and they were all the same distance from me. Also the lights were flashing in sequential order from left to right in perfect timing. I watched as the sound got louder and then noticed they were all moving together towards northwest from original location I spotted it in. The lights lead me to believe instead of 5 different objects, this was one very large object; as large as my town and half of my town of Zachary, Louisiana. This would make it roughly 4 miles across. As it moved away I ran and woke my mother to have a second witness. My mom does not believe in UFOs and she was also convinced it was one large triangle. As it got further away the rumbling stopped and also the front light became solid and stayed on until no lights were visible. I would LOVE to know if anything was reported on Radar being I live near Baton Rouge airport. This also means I am used to flashing lights from planes and also study passing satellites and orbiting rocket bodies using a sky monitoring app for satellites in the sky. Lots of cloud cover tonight but clouds were very high. I did not see any single planes tonight though. These were the only lights. I always see strange objects because I watch the skies. I have seen more than one anomaly in the same direction from my front yard. But this was the first ever hearing anything and first triangle craft or at least formation.

Scottsdale, Arizona – 30 November 2014 I saw a formation of 4-5 lights over the freeway in Scottsdale az tonight. Thought they were helicopters but then realized there were no flashing lights. One by one they went straight up into the sky and disappeared. I was driving or I would have taken a picture. I should have pulled over.

I-35 headed South, one mile North of Lathrop exit. – November 28, 2014 Looked like a triangular object hovering at about 15,000 feet. It was either reflecting sunlight or it had lights on it. It hovered for a couple minutes in one spot and then just disappeared. No jet stream, it was as if it just faded out and disappeared.

Marysville, MI – Friday, Nov 28, 2014 Facing west and looking upward at about a 60 degree angle, at 6AM I noticed 3 bright lights, which I first mistook as stars, forming a perfect equilateral triangle. But then I noticed that these “stars” were drifting apart and flattening out until they eventually aligned themselves into a straight line. At that time the leftmost light headed to the southeast in a straight line away from the other two lights. Definitely NOT typical star behavior!

Iran- Kermanshah – actually it’s almost a month (October 2014) Every night some strange lights appear in the Sky…some nights there are several lights together that blinking and moving so many faster than an Airplane..some nights it’s just one…We are Damn Sure it is not airplane…so many people in this City have already approved that ! there is an ancient place near this City called Tag Bostan (طاق بستان) people say those things fly toward this place and stop on top of there and then disappear! years ago some UFO Spaceship activites have reported in this place
Fragneto Monforte, Italy – 9 October, 2014 october 9, 2014 an UFO was observed above Fragneto Monforte. Three people, among them dott. Angelo Carannante and ing. Ennio Piccalunga, have seen an UFO and shot some photos. Then they have informed the Centro Ufologico Mediterraneo (CUFOM), whose specialists have analyzed the interesting pictures. On official CUFOM youtube channel, “CUFOMTV”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F-nm6XNnVc, it’s possible to find a video trailer about this interesting UFO sighting. News updates and further information about the results of the investigations will be given soon.

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.
In 2011 I was invited by the Saudi Arabian government to attend and speak at the Global Competitiveness Forum, an event similar to the World Economic Forum held in Davos. Former US President Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker and other attendees included the former UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair. The core audience was the business community, and attendees included CEO and board level representatives from companies such as Google, IBM, Boeing, Rolls-Royce and Reuters. My panel discussion was titled “Contact: Learning from Outer Space” and I was seated next to Michio Kaku. I spoke about the economic and financial implications of discovering extraterrestrial life, but while my presentation was well-received in Riyadh, some people in the UFO and conspiracy theory communities were outraged. How dare I drag the sordid issue of money into the equation? Why did I do it? Let me explain.
In the various discussions that take place about the societal consequences of discovering alien life, whether these are discussions among ufologists, astrobiologists, or SETI radio astronomers, certain themes and questions crop up repeatedly. Would there be panic in the streets? What would be the effect on religious belief? What about the political ramifications? How would people incorporate this new information into their personal paradigm and worldview? But of all the issues that would arise, the one that hardly ever gets a mention is money. I spoke about this at the Global Competitiveness Forum because when we find alien life, there will undoubtedly be financial implications. Some people may find this distasteful, but feeling uncomfortable about an issue doesn’t make it go away. So let’s follow the money trail.
Discovering extraterrestrial life may happen in a variety of different ways. The scenarios include something along the lines of the archetypal landing on the White House lawn; discovering an alien probe or artefact on Earth or in the solar system; discovering microbial life in our solar system – probably on Mars, Europa or Enceladus; detecting a radio signal from another civilization; or using the next generation of telescopes in parallel with spectroscopy to detect the ‘biosignature’ of life – probably oxygen, ozone and methane. Clearly there are lots of variables here, but in almost every scenario, vast sums of money will be made.
Discovering microbial (or other very simple) life in our own solar system would have huge potential benefits in terms of biotechnology, including bioweapons. Again, I appreciate that this isn’t what a lot of people want to hear, but I’m telling it like it is. Bear in mind, of course, that space missions are increasingly going to be undertaken not by the likes of NASA, ESA, or by nation states, but by the private sector. History will show that the recent crash of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo was only a minor setback to the inevitable private sector domination of space. Alongside biotechnology, consider the value of any form of alien life to private collectors. There are plenty of billionaires out there, who would be happy to pay through the nose for something truly out of this world.
Another scenario relates to discovering an exoplanet where life is detected (or reasonably deduced to exist) through spectral analysis. Whilst the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has rules on naming celestial objects, they freely admit that they have no monopoly here, and that anyone can adopt whatever name they like. So while an exoplanet discovered by a NASA telescope would probably be named according to IAU conventions (which preclude purely commercial names), it would be difficult – if not impossible – to place naming constraints where the discovery is made by an individual or a corporation. In such a situation, the person making the discovery could, in theory, opt for Planet Pepsi. How much would these naming rights and other commercial opportunities (e.g. advertising) be worth?
What about that scenario so beloved of ufologists – the UFO crash? What if the entity that acquires such wreckage isn’t a nation state, but a corporation? Bear in mind that technology acquisition is a pretty good reason for UFO secrecy, and remember that quote from the final report of the UK MoD’s Project Condign, which talked about the “novel military applications” (e.g. the development of a directed energy weapon) that might result from a better understanding of the UFO phenomenon. How much might extraterrestrial technology be worth to a private corporation that might hope to secure a monopoly on exotic new energy sources, propulsion systems, etc.? And how far do you think such corporations might go to acquire such technology, and then keep it secret from potential competitors, the media and the public, until such a time as it could be properly developed?
Lastly, let’s look at one of the most likely scenarios by which we’ll discover the existence of extraterrestrial civilisations: radio astronomy. Efforts such as SETI are underway already, and need no more tools to detect a signal from another civilisation than the tools they already have. A radio signal may be detected today. But the next generation of radio telescopes (such as the Square Kilometre Array) will substantially increase the odds of detecting such a signal. What then? SETI says the answer is to verify and then to disclose, but there may be other players in the game. One highly likely scenario is that a signal would be detected, but that it would be indecipherable. How comfortable do you think governments would be should such data be disclosed? What if we detect what science writer Timothy Ferris dubbed the “Galactic Internet” and/or downloaded an ‘Encyclopedia Galactica’? Information designed to help civilisations build the ultimate power station could doubtless be used to build the ultimate bomb. Humans are pretty good at weaponising things. But again, what if the ‘first discoverer’ here is an individual or a corporation? How much might it be worth to be the first to download an ‘Encyclopedia Galactica’?
It may be that certain corporations first got into the UFO business by accident. Governments pushed some or all of their UFO research and investigation into the private sector to take it outside the scope of Congressional/Parliamentary scrutiny, and to take it outside the scope of Freedom of Information legislation. But corporations aren’t stupid, and must recognise the potential payouts here, even if they do regard them as low probability/high impact scenarios. A new space race is underway, and the potential rewards for the winner(s) won’t be measured in millions, or in billions, but in trillions.
