Famous UFO Quotes By Presidents, Politicians, Military Officers And Astronauts
Famous UFO Quotes By Presidents, Politicians, Military Officers And Astronauts
Do UFOs and aliens exist? According to some of the most famous people in American history they do. Presidents, prominent politicians, top ranking military officers and leading astronauts have all come right out and said that UFOs exist and that the U.S. government knows about it. So why is there still such secrecy about UFOs? Is there not such a large body of evidence for the existence of UFOs at this point that it is pretty much obvious to everyone by now? Well, apparently the U.S. government still wants to keep a lid on this thing. At least for the moment. So will that change someday? Most certainly it will. In fact, it is very likely to occur in our lifetimes. But for now we'll just have to keep waiting for full disclosure. Meanwhile, thefollowing are some famous UFO quotes by presidents, politicians, military officers and astronauts.....
"I can assure you that, given they exist, these flying saucers are made by no power on this Earth." -President Harry S. Truman, 4 April 1950, at a press conference.
"While working under President Eisenhower,I discovered that Eisenhower had a keen interest in UFOs, but that he came to realize that he had lost control of the subject". -Brigadier General Steven Lovekin
"The US Airforce assures me that UFO's pose no threat to National Security." -President John F. Kennedy
"We must insist upon full access to disks recovered. For instance, in the LA case the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination." -J. Edgar Hoover
"I certainly believe in aliens in space, and that they are indeed visiting our planet. They may not look like us, but I have very strong feelings that they have advanced beyond our mental capabilities." -Senator Barry Goldwater (1965)
"I'm not at liberty to discuss the governments knowledge of extraterrestrial UFO's at this time. I am still personally being briefed on the subject!" -President Richard M. Nixon
"In the firm belief that the American public deserves a better explanation than that thus far given by the Air Force, I strongly recommend that there be a committee investigation of the UFO phenomena. I think we owe it to the people to establish credibility regarding UFOs, and to produce the greatest possible enlightenment of the subject." -President Gerald Ford (during his years as a US Congressman).
It was the darndest thing I've ever seen. It was big, it was very bright, it changed colors and it was about the size of the Moon. We watched it for ten minutes, but none of us could figure out what it was. One thing's for sure, I'll never make fun of people who say they've seen unidentified objects in the sky. -President Jimmy Carter
"I looked out the window and saw this white light.It was zigzagging around. I went up to the pilot and said,Have you ever seen anything like that? He was shocked and he said, "Nope." And I said to him: "Let's follow it!" We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light.We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens. When I got off the plane I told Nancy all about it." -President Ronald Reagen (Describing his 1974 UFO encounter to veteran newsman Norman C. Miller, then Washington bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal.)
"The phenomenon of UFOs does exist, and it must be treated seriously." -Mikhail Gorbachev
"The UFO phenomenon being reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious" -General Nathan Twining Chairman, Joint chiefs of staff, 1955-1958
"For thirty years, I've held that image in my mind. What I saw was a circular object that looked like two pie plates put on top of each other with a golf ball on top. It was a classic flying saucer,and it shot a beam of something at our warhead" -U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Robert M. Jacobs
"I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth." -Colonel L. Gordon Cooper (Mercury 9,Gemini-5 Astronaut)
"After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material I asked the base commander to personally transport it in a B-26 to Major General McMullen in Washington DC. The entire operation was conducted under strictest secrecy. The weather balloon explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the attention of the press". -Brigadier General Thomas Dubose Commanding Officer of Wright Patterson Air Force BaseAffadavit 09/16/01
"Mission control, We have a UFO pacing our position, request instructions!" -Astronaut Cady Coleman NASA transmission shuttle mission STS-73
"We heard the material was coming to Wright Field. It was brought into our material evaluation labs. I don't know how it arrived but the boys who tested it said it was very unusual". -Brigadier General Arthur E. Exon
"I speak from three years of detailed, personal research involving interviews with more than five hundred witnesses in selected UFO cases,chiefly in the United States. In my opinion the UFO problem,far from being the 'nonsense problem' it has been labelled by many scientists,constitutes an area of extraordinary scientific interest". -Dr. James McDonald Professor of Atmospheric SciencesQuoted in "UFOs - a Scientific debate"
"I've been asked about UFO's and I've said publicly I thought they were somebody else, some other civilization." -Commander Eugene Cernan, Commanded the Apollo 17 Mission. (LA TIMES, 1973)
"It is time for the truth to be brought out... Behind the scenes high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.... I urge immediate Congressional action to reduce the dangers from secrecy about unidentified flying objects." -Former CIA Director Vice Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, signed statement to Congress, August 22, 1960
"Blue Book was now under direct orders to debunk...I remember the conversations around the conference table in which it was suggested that Walt Disney or some other educational cartoon producer be enlisted in the debunking process". -Dr. J Allen Hyneck Scientific Consultant to Blue Book
"We have contact with alien cultures." -Astronaut Dr. Brian O'leary
"The Air Force has never denied the possibility that interplanetary spacecraft exist. There are many people in the Air Force who believe in UFOs". -USAF Press Liason Albert M Chop
"In my official status, I cannot comment on ET contact. However, personally, I can assure you, we are not alone!" -Charles J. Camarda(Ph.D.) NASA Astronaut
"The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government, rating even higher than the H Bomb. Flying saucers exist. Their Modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made by by a small group headed by Doctor Vannevar Bush." -Wilbert Smith in a top secret Canadian Government Memorandum ,21st November 1950
"They came up with a table of pictures of all the shapes of UFOs that have ever been recorded -about fifty ...The study of UFOs may reveal some new forms of energy to us,or at least bring us closer to a solution." -General Vasily Alexeyev Russian Air Force -Space Communications Centre.
"It isn't a question of whether or not flying saucers exist. The question is what are they and who do they belong to?" -George Flier Air Force Intelligence Officer 1958 -1978
"There are some definite flight type characteristics that are seen now that I would say represent genuine UFOs...ie: instant acceleration; instant stop; vertical acceleration -up into the air and down to the ground; reverses in direction; right angle turns -all in silence -multiple objects sometimes separating and then going back into each other. They are classic,what I would call,genuine UFO characteristics -things that we can not do in a conventional sense". -British Detective Constable Gary Heseltine of the Police UFO Reporting Organization
"Of course it is possible that UFO's really do contain aliens as many people believe, and the Government is hushing it up." -Professor Stephen Hawking
"Let there be no doubt. Alien technology harvested from the infamous saucer crash in Roswell, N.Mex., in July 1947 led directly to the development of the integrated circuit chip, laser and fiber optic technologies, Particle beams, Electromagnetic propulsion systems, Depleted uranium projectiles, Stealth capabilities, and many others! How do I know? I was in charge! (A matter of public record)I think the kids on this planet are wise to the truth, and I think we ought to give it to them. I think they deserve it." -Colonel Philip Corso Army Intelligence officer, former head of the Foreign Technology at the U.S. Army's Research and Development department at the Pentagon and former director of intelligence on President Eisenhower's White House National Security Staff
"With control of the universe at stake, a crash program is imperative.We produced the A-bomb, under the huge Manhattan Project, in an amazingly short time. The needs, the urgency today are even greater. The Air Force should end UFO secrecy, give the facts to scientists,the public, to Congress. Once the people realize the truth, they would back, even demand a crash program...for this is one race we dare not lose." -Major Donald E Keyhoe USMC, Director NICAP 1953
"All Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence." -Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems
"UFO sightings are now so common, the military doesn't have time to worry about them - so they screen them out. The major defense systems have UFO filters built into them, and when a UFO appears, they simply ignore it." -Lee Katchen (former atmospheric physicist with NASA)
"We all know that UFOs are real. All we need to ask is where do they come from, and what do they want?" -Apollo 14 Astronaut Capt. Edgar Mitchell

2011 UFO: The Nissequogue UFO Incident
2011 UFO: The Nissequogue UFO Incident
Consider this account and photo of the Nissequogue UFO incident.
It was late August 2011, Puerto Rico and the Great Antilles had been battered by a category three hurricane; that storm’s name was Hurricane Irene. Coastal areas up the eastern seaboard braced for the worst as the storm and it’s 120 mph winds made its way northward, causing significant storm surge and coastal flooding. On the north shore of Long Island, the Suffolk County bayside community of Nissequogue, NY (pronounced NISS-ə-kwog) was dealing with surge flooding.
Charlie, a local boat owner concerned for the safety of his boat, began regularly checking a webcam that monitored the Defeo Marina five miles east at Port Jefferson, where his boat was moored. It was about 2:30 pm on Sunday August 28 when Charlie logged into the camera to check the flood conditions.
Charlie tells us: “I witnessed a large silver round disc type object in the sky over the flooded bay. I watched it live for a few minutes as it hovered in the same spot rotating around. My first thought was that someone might be launching a weather balloon but I soon realized that the object had lines and a structure that didn’t look like a balloon.
Charlie took three screenshots of the live web cam, each of the images were about 10 seconds apart. “It appears in the pictures that you can see the craft rotating toward the camera.”
Charlie took three screenshots of the live web cam, each of the images were about 10 seconds apart.
Later Charlie spoke to the marina management to see if the live cam was recorded but unfortunately it wasn’t. Charlie tells us that because of the severe weather warnings at the time of the UFO sighting most of the coastal communities were evacuated; likewise no airplanes were flying in or out of the regional New York airports. Charlie later filed a report and posted his photos with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), case number is 31318.
Let’s look at some recent UFO sightings in New York Skies:
25 November 2014: at about 4:45 p.m. a married couple was driving over the Mohawk river bridge and noticed a blue green ball of light go across the evening sky leaving a small contrails behind which would disappear immediately, it made no sound.
28 November 2014: at about 7:30 p.m. a resident of Hudson, NY was walking his dog. While looking up at the moon in the clear sky, he noticed a ball or orb of bright red to fire orange, it was traveling from the south and it was heading north. It made no noise and it seemed to change size as it brightened and dimmed.
28 November 2014: at about midnight a resident of Tuxedo Park, NY was cross country skiing when he noticed a geese like V shaped flying formation. He started to pay attention to the object and noticed lights instead of geese. In front of V formation there were about 5 to 7 lights and lines forming letter V were also white amber lights. All the lights in the formation kept their position without any changes. Color of lights was bright white and looked recessed. The object moved from the Northwest to the Southeast.
9 December 2014: at about 9:50 p.m. a resident of Highland, NY was bringing home a Christmas tree. He got a strange feeling to look up and about 300 feet above him was a black triangle shaped craft. He says it hovered in place for nearly 20 minutes. He admits it scared the heck out of him.
10 December 2014: at about 5:30 p.m. a motorist in Pittsford, NY was flashes of orange and green lights in the sky, moving in an orderly fashion.
14 December 2014: at about 9 p.m. a Brooklyn, NY motorist driving on an elevated highway saw four or five glowing orange lights in the sky that were in a formation with a helicopter hovering around nearby. When he exited the highway he lost view of them. He states that several other people he knew on Facebook witnessed the same event.
If you have a UFO sighting to report, you can use either one of the two national database services: www.NUFORC.ORG or www.MUFON.COM – Both services respect confidentiality.
Recent alleged UFO videos covered by the media have some wondering if Colombia is a new hotbed for UFO activity. Also, recent discoveries have added to the possibility that Mars might be home to alien life. That and other space and UFO news on this final 2014 episode of Spacing Out!
(N.Morgan) In the world of UFOs, the mystery of who and what they are is mind blowing to researchers and astronomers. alike. Are these other worldly creatures, determined to take over Earth? Or are they military craft designed for war? In this incredible footage below, the images are startling and mystifying. This footage was sent to Thirdphaseofmoon from an anonymous tip. Just under14 thousand feet atop The Mauna Kea The Canada France Hawaii Telescope with its Cloud Cam Captures An Incredible UFO Event! Just around 3:55am this unusual craft makes an appearance that leaves a trail of vapor in its wake! Commercial Aircraft? A Meteorite? Or Something Otherworldly Making entry Into Earths Atmosphere?
"Bewijs voor bestaan van Bijbelse koningen David en Salomo"
“Bewijs voor bestaan van Bijbelse koningen David en Salomo”
Een team archeologen van de Mississippi State University heeft oude voorwerpen ontdekt die zouden bewijzen dat de Bijbelse koningen David en Salomo echt hebben bestaan.
Professor Jimmy Hardin vond in augustus zes artefacten in het zuiden van Israël. Het gaat om zogeheten bulla’s, die in de oudheid werden gebruikt om documenten te verzegelen. De vondst bewijst volgens hem dat in de 10e eeuw voor Christus, toen David en Salomo aan de macht waren, een staat of koninkrijk heeft bestaan in het gebied.
Veel moderne wetenschappers doen David en Salomo af als mythologische figuren en geloven niet dat ze echt hebben bestaan. Veel van hen zijn van mening dat verhalen over David en Salomo niet kloppen omdat er geen archeologisch bewijs is gevonden. “Deze bulla’s bewijzen dat er wel degelijk iets gebeurde in dit gebied, waar David erg geïnteresseerd in was,” zei Hardin. “Op de plek waar we deze bulla’s hebben gevonden leefde de elite.”
Jimmy Hardin (Nathaniel Greene)
De zes bulla’s, die dateren uit de 10e eeuw voor Christus, zijn gemaakt van klei en werden gebruikt om documenten te verzegelen. Dit bewijst volgens Hardin dat er in die periode in het gebied administratieve of politieke handelingen werden verricht.
De voorwerpen zijn gevonden tussen Gaza en de Westoever, het grensgebied tussen Juda en Filistia. Volgens onderzoekers was de plaats waar de voorwerpen zijn gevonden vroeger een klein boerendorp, maar de ontdekking van de bulla’s wijst op ‘activiteiten van de elite’.
De bulla’s worden op dit moment bewaard in een kluis van de Universiteit van Wisconsin-Madison, waar onderzoekers ze nader bestuderen. Het onderzoek is verschenen in het tijdschrift Near Eastern Archaeology.
UFO mania: NASA Engineer: The Billy Meier UFO Case Is Real
UFO mania: NASA Engineer: The Billy Meier UFO Case Is Real
Matthew Wieczkiewicz, a career aerospace engineer, has publicly endorsed the authenticity of the Billy Meier UFO case, ongoing in Switzerland for over 72 years.
"I first encountered the Billy Meier case when I was studying aviation at ASU, in 1978. I was also interested in the UFO phenomenon, and when the Meier photos were first released, I thought they were intriguing. But I fell for the CIA disinformation campaign, which called them a hoax. So I paid no attention to it for another 30 years, though I maintained an interest in the UFO phenomenon in general. Then, in 2011, I saw an article on a news website that mentioned one of Billy Meier’s claims had come true. So I went back and rediscovered the case and was surprised to see how much information is available compared to 1978. I went in with an open mind and spent the better part of 18 months reading all the material I could find and finally came to the conclusion that it is real," said Wieczkiewicz.
Because of his aerospace engineering background, Wieczkiewicz is convinced Meier's UFO evidence is real, such as the newly authenticated 1981 photos of the controversial WCUFO and his 1975 film of the so-called "Pendulum UFO". And he isn't alone. Respected scientists like Michael Mailn (NASA, Mars Mission) and David Froning long ago recognized the authenticity of Billy Meier's UFO evidence and the importance of his information on hyperspace propulsion. Recently, formerly skeptical physician and physicist, Dr. Sanford Weinstein also endorsed Meier's information regarding Russian military movements that he published decades before they occurred.
Wieczkiewicz later became interested in Meier's long history of publishing prophetically accurate scientific information. He agrees that recent reports from NASA and US government scientists corroborate Meier's warnings, from as far back as the 1950s, about climate change, global warming and the catastrophic environmental and weather-related consequences already upon us.
“Humanity should recognize the valuable assistance offered by the Plejaren extraterrestrials through Billy Meier for solving the most serious problems facing our world today," said Wieczkiewicz.
Michael Horn, the American media representative for the Billy Meier case, and Matthew Wieczkiewicz, will co-facilitate multi-media presentations on the evidence, information and documentation on the scientific evidence beginning this fall. Various venues will include colleges, universities and scientific forums.
The Higher Standard of Proof
Horn states that many examples of Meier's specific, prophetically accurate information are ironclad, based on copyrights establishing his publication of the information long before "official discovery" and that this is the "higher standard of proof".

Daily 2 Cents: Bizarre and Unpredictable -- Hunt For MH370 Could End in May -- Rare Rock With 30000 Diamonds Discovered in Russia
Bizarre and Unpredictable
It's been three years since the former "supreme leader" of North Korea, Kim Jong-il, died.
Since his youngest son Kim Jong-un succeeded him in late 2011, numerous occasions have seen Kim Jong-un assume a bizarre leadership.
In January this year, less than one month after the execution of his uncle, Jang Song Thaek, US basketball star Dennis Rodman flew into Pyongyang to sing Happy Birthday to his host.
Kim Jong-un disappeared from the public eye in September. Rumors circulated that the country's "supreme leader" had been deposed, or that he was seriously ill. His sister, Kim Yo-jong, became Senior Party Official in his absence.
A Hollywood comedy film called The Interview, which details a CIA plot to kill the leader, offended North Korean media in the summer. Hackers attacked Sony in November, but North Korea has denied responsibility.
Kim Jong-un continues the craziness of the hermit regime. What else can we expect?
Missing MH370: Underwater Hunt for Malaysia Airlines Jet Could End by May
The underwater hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 may be finished by May, authorities said Wednesday. More than 4,247 square miles of the floor of the southern Indian Ocean — an area half the size of Lake Erie — have now been searched, the Australia Transportation Safety Bureau (ATSB) announced in an update. It represents about one fifth of the total search area that marine experts are trawling in the hope of finding clues to the whereabouts of the Boeing 777, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.
The ATSB said that one of the vessels involved in the search, Fugro Discovery, "experienced a system issue with a component of the search equipment" on Saturday. "Search activities have been suspended while the issue is remedied." However, the statement said: "Assuming no significant delays with vessels, equipment or from the weather, the current underwater search area may be largely completed around May 2015." One other vessel, GO Phoenix, was still in the area on Wednesday but a third ship, Fugro Equator, was scheduled to return to shore in Australia. - NBC News
DNA thought to be from an extinct polar bear in the Himalayas might actually belong to something else.
Professor Bryan Sykes made headlines last year when he DNA tested suspected Yeti hair samples from Ladakh and Bhutan and found that they were actually a match for a jawbone belonging to an extinct species of polar bear that lived 120,000 years ago.
The find opened up the possibility that sightings of the mysterious Abominable Snowman in and around the Himalayan region might actually be explained by the presence of this ancient bear.
Now however two other scientists, Ceiridwen Edwards and Ross Barnett, have repeated the same DNA tests and believe that the hair samples are not from an extinct species of polar bear at all but are in fact from a rare sub-species of the common brown bear.
"The Himalayan bear is a sub-species of the brown bear that lives in the higher reaches of the Himalayas, in remote, mountainous areas of Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and India," they wrote.
"The common name for these bears in the region is Dzu-teh, a Nepalese term meaning 'cattle bear', and they have long been associated with the myth of the yeti." Read more at BBC
Rare Rock with 30000 Diamonds Discovered in Russia
Here's the perfect Christmas gift for the person who has everything: A red and green rock, ornament-sized, stuffed with 30,000 teeny-tiny diamonds.
The sparkly chunk was pulled from Russia's huge Udachnaya diamond mine and donated to science (the diamonds' tiny size means they're worthless as gems). It was a lucky break for researchers, because the diamond-rich rock is a rare find in many ways, scientists reported Monday (Dec. 15) at the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting.
"The exciting thing for me is there are 30,000 itty-bitty, perfect octahedrons, and not one big diamond," said Larry Taylor, a geologist at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who presented the findings. "It's like they formed instantaneously."
The concentration of diamonds in the rock is millions of times greater than that in typical diamond ore, which averages 1 to 6 carats per ton, Taylor said. A carat is a unit of weight (not size), and is roughly equal to one-fifth of a gram, or 0.007 ounces.
The astonishing amount of diamonds, and the rock's unusual coloring, will provide important clues to Earth's geologic history as well as the origin of these prized gemstones, Taylor said. "The associations of minerals will tell us something about the genesis of this rock, which is a strange one indeed," he said.
Although diamonds have been desired for centuries, and are now understood well enough to be recreated in a lab, their natural origins are still a mystery. Read more at Yahoo

Medellín the new Roswell? Colombian city becomes new UFO hotspot of sorts
Medellín the new Roswell? Colombian city becomes new UFO hotspot of sort spacecraft but instead something with a much more commercial purpose.
Some residents of the Colombian city of Medellín are reporting a close encounter with the third kind after video footage emerged online of unidentified flying objects – aka UFOs – hovering around the city and surrounding area.
While Medellín is unlikely to become the next Roswell, a recent string of spacey sightings have given credence to the “UFO hotspot” tag.
On video – shot on Nov. 16 and posted on YouTube on Dec. 5 – shows an almond-shaped object hovering over a forested area near Medellín. The silvery saucer looks very familiar to one spotted in South Wales in the United Kingdom on November 30, 2014.
Skeptics, however, don’t believe that the object filmed in Colombian – or South Wales for that matter – is an actual alien sI think I know immediately what we are looking at," said Marc Dantonio of remote-control model company FX Models. "In my opinion, this is a public relations unmanned helium balloon that is tethered and is 18 feet in diameter. I know the dimensions because I know the balloon itself."
"Various companies sell and rent them for publicity. In one video, you are told it is flying near Atanasio Girardot Stadium right before a big final matchup soccer game. It stands to reason that flying it for a publicity stunt before a major match makes sense. It is a UFO shape and these have been sold and rented for several years now."
Both Dantonio and Ben Hansen, lead investigator on the Syfy Channel's former "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files" series, say that all of Medellín’s paranormal sighting can be explained pretty easily – and don’t entail aliens checking out the up-and-coming Colombian city.
"It is Colombia and everyone probably lives near a soccer stadium, but if a match was going on, it might further support the idea that a balloon or blimp of some sort was involved in filming aerial shots or taking part in a promotion," Hansen said.

Multiple witnesses spot UFO over Capua in Caserta, Italy (Photo)
Multiple witnesses spot UFO over Capua in Caserta, Italy (Photo)
Italian news sites are reporting that dozens of witnesses spotted a UFO over the town of Capua, and one group of friends took a photo.
Capua is a town of nearly 19,000 people about 20 miles north of Naples. Witnesses say that on the evening of Monday, December 15, a bright cylindrical object could be seen above town. Some reported that the light could be seen from anywhere in town. Others have said that the light was so bright it could be seen throughout the country.l

A group of friend in an area called Tifata Hills, in the hamlet of Sant’Angelo in Formis, were able to snap a picture of the object. The photograph shows what witnesses all over town had reported, a bright, yellow, cylindrical object. Although the news websites caution that UFO cases need to be approached carefully before making any assumptions, they report the witnesses are convince that what they saw was “out of the ordinary.”

One Italian news website claimed that this was not the only recent UFO sighting in the area of Capua, although it did not reference others. It also claimed “2014 was a year certainly very rich in UFO sightings in Italy and more generally in the world.”
No more details have been released about the sighting or the object’s movements. So for now, all we have is the picture. Take a look and let us know what you think..

Bulgarian UFO Research on the existence of UFO’s and ET life
Bulgarian UFO Research on the existence of UFO’s and ET life
More and more centers of investigation are changing their view on the UFO reality.
They are now doing formal research on the subject. That is the case of the American University in Washington. They organized the summit UFOs: Encounters with Generals, Pilots and Government officers. It took place on November 2014.
We have also the institute of space science in Bulgaria.
Recently they had their very first conference on the existence of UFO’s and ET life. Prof. Richars Savilopof, director of the department of astrophysics and director of the space institute in Bulgaria was also there in this summit and said this has been a forbidden subject for scientists.

That's Correct, Dr. Menzel, Flying Saucers Are Real … The Rest Of Your Verdict Is Baloney!
That's Correct, Dr. Menzel, Flying Saucers Are Real … The Rest Of Your Verdict Is Baloney
Popular Science - Google Books: Saucers on Radar? ... an Expert's Verdict
Hidden from the public, there are heavily guarded government facilities all over the world dedicated to UFOs. Collating thousands of sightings, encounters, and happenings, UFOs Declassified delves deep into the once classified top secret files. Hidden away for decades, these files allow us to investigate one of the great unanswered questions of our time: do UFOs really exist?"

Archaeologists have been excavating a gigantic burial site containing up to one million mummies.
The cemetery, which is known as Fag el-Gamous (Way of the Water Buffalo), has been a site of great interest for over 30 years.
To date the remains of more than 1,700 individuals have been unearthed however archaeologists believe that in total the site is likely to be home to upwards of one million bodies.
The cemetery dates back at least 2,000 years with most of the remains dating to between the 1st and 7th centuries AD.
Some of the deceased had been buried with items such as linen, glass and jewelry while others seemed to have been buried together with other members of the same family.
One recent excavation uncovered an abnormally tall individual around 7ft in height while another found the remains of an 18-month-old child with remarkably well preserved features.
The origins of the site however remain something of a mystery. None of the people buried there appear to have come from royal backgrounds and their remains exhibit varying degrees of mummification, most having been only loosely mummified by the dryness of the surrounding dirt.
It is hoped that, given enough time, the excavations will eventually be able to shed some light on the significance of this particular location and where the people buried there originally came from.

Strange Contrails Appear Over Russian Town
Strange Contrails Appear Over Russian Town
Multiple eyewitnesses, including one who was quick with her camera, spotted strange squiggly contrails just before dawn one morning this week over Biysk in southern Russia. Many of the witnesses believed the contrails were from UFOs. Were they?
According to reports, Elisha Ponomaryov saw other people looking skyward and pointing at the contrails. She didn’t know what they were but had the presence of mind to take a photo. Unfortunately, she was too late to capture what caused the contrails. However, other witnesses claimed to have seen three or four yellow spheres flying haphazardly and leaving the trails behind them. One was Zemfira Bocharova, who gave this description:
I saw them at 6.25am and there were four, one of them was particularly bright and two others were flying parallel with that – and then the forth one was at a different angle and further away from the other three.
As usual, there was no comment from space or government officials or the military on the strange contrails. There was some speculation that they could have been from a rocket, possibly carrying a secret payload, launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, but that’s 1,500 miles from Biysk and there was no report of any launches on that day. Meteors and weather were also suggested, but there were no meteor reports and no weather incidents that could have caused the trails.
Contrails formed by planes in a holding pattern
Circular contrails are not unusual, especially near airports where planes often fly in holding patterns. They can also be seen over military bases but the patterns are generally more regular, not the random scribbles seen over Biysk.
So what caused the strange Biysk contrails? The city is a center for solid-fuel rocket production. Were the yellow spheres UFOs checking out the competition?

Curiosity has discovered organic matter on Mars
Curiosity has discovered organic matter on Mars
Molecules found by Curiosity on Mars have been confirmed as organic matter -- the building blocks of all known forms of terrestrial life.
NASA
The Curiosity rover has found and analysed the first definitively identified piece of organic matter on the surface of Mars.
These organic molecules, consisting primarily of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, are the building blocks of all life on Earth. However, it is important to note that these molecules may not have come from life forms on Mars -- organic molecules can be created from chemical processes that do not involve life, NASA said. At this stage, there is not enough evidence to determine the provenance of the molecules -- but either way, their presence has meaning.
The team responsible for Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument suite have several hypotheses. The first is, of course, a biological process. Others include chemical reactions in water at ancient hot springs on the Red Planet, or arrival from off-planet via dust, meteorites, asteroids or comets.
Recently, Curiosity found evidence of dry river and lake beds on Mars -- of surface water on the planet -- such as minerals that can only form in the presence of liquid water, and erosion patterns formed by sediment deposited by water flows. This indicates that, billions of years ago, conditions on Mars could have supported life.
The molecules -- which seem to confirm recent findings that a Martian meteorite contained extraterrestrial organic matter -- were found in a drilled sample in the Sheepbed mudstone of the Gale crater -- the location of Curiosity's exploration. The mudstone on the crater floor is consistent with the clay found on Earth from dried-up lakes, formed from sediment on the lake floor -- presenting optimum conditions for the preservation of organic matter.
"We think life began on Earth around 3.8 billion years ago, and our result shows that places on Mars had the same conditions at that time -- liquid water, a warm environment, and organic matter," said Caroline Freissinet of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "So if life emerged on Earth in these conditions, why not on Mars as well?"
The samples were analysed by the SAM laboratory heating the molecules to a temperature of 875 degrees Celsius (1,600 Fahrenheit), and then monitoring the volatiles released through a quadrupole mass spectrometer and Gas Chromotograph Mass Spectrometer Mode, which separates volatiles based on the amount of time they take to travel through a glass tube.
Other atoms present in the molecules identified by the SAM team include chlorine atoms: chlorobenzene, and dichloroalkanes such as dichloroethane, dichloropropane and dichlorobutane; the most abundant is the chlorobenzene, which is used for manufacturing pesticides, herbicides, adhesives, paints and rubber, and does not occur naturally on Earth. Dichloropropane, used as an industrial solvent in paint strippers, is carcinogenic.
While these could have been present in the mudstone, it is more likely that they formed when the molecules were heated for analysis inside the SAM instrument. Perchlorate -- chlorine bound to oxygen -- is abundant in the Martian atmosphere. As the molecules were heated, these perchlorates could have bound to the organic molecules to produce the atoms found by the SAM team.
"The search for organics on Mars has been extremely challenging for the team," said study co-author Daniel Glavin of NASA Goddard.
"First, we need to identify environments in Gale crater that would have enabled the concentration of organics in sediments. Then they need to survive the conversion of sediment to rock, where pore fluids and dissolved substances may oxidize and destroy organics. Organics can then be destroyed during exposure of rocks at the surface of Mars to intense ionising radiation and oxidants. Finally, to identify any organic compounds that have survived, we have to deal with oxychlorine compounds and possibly other strong oxidants in the sample which will react with and combust organic compounds to carbon dioxide and chlorinated hydrocarbons when the samples are heated by SAM."

UFO sighting recorded over Sydney, Australia on 15th December 2014
UFO sighting recorded over Sydney, Australia on 15th December 2014
Witness said: I am was lucky again!! I started filming the Plane this Object was pop up, passing very fast speed the plane. When I zooming on you can see how this object rotating. Similar to what I captured yesterday.
THREE UFO SIGHTINGS IN ARIZONA ON DECEMBER 10, 2014 DECEMBER 10, 2014 … MARICOPA ARIZONA 8 AM
We saw two bright orange lights at first. Same brightness but some distance from each other over the Eastern side of Maricopa as we drove down John Wayne Parkway. Then a third orange light appeared in between the other two. It slowly faded from nothing into a bright light just like the other two were. A few minutes later, the light on the far left faded out and disappeared. As we got into town, the two that remained got closer together and seemed so close they may be touching. Then they faded into darkness as well. The entire event lasted about 20-25 minutes. One thing to note, there was a spotlight display happening at the same time from in front of the grocery store in the middle of town, we could see it from a few miles out of town. We didn’t get pictures because we were driving and didn’t think about it until it was too late.
DECEMBER 10, 2014 …… ELOY ARIZONA 1 PM
Unknown object over Eloy, Arizona. Daytime sighting. At 1:03 pm, Arizona time, witness strange shaped object consisting of three outer cylinders attached to a shorter center cylinder, approximately the size of a Hot Air Balloon, hovering over farm fields in Eloy, AZ. The object was bright yellow in appearance and I could see no form of propulsion (i.e. engines, propellers, etc). It hovered for about 4 minutes, and then I noticed a jet and a couple airplanes coming from the direction of Pinal Air Park (Air National Guard base) and the object then left, going away from me, fairly quickly. By the time the jet and planes arrived, it was long gone.
DECEMBER 10, 2014 …. LITCHFIELD ARIZONA 9 PM
Multiple lights in the sky in Litchfield Park Arizona. I’m a 45 year old college graduate. My job is a server admin at a local utility. I’m also familiar with many types of aircraft and the flight paths around my area. I considered myself to be educated and use good logic. In the past I’ve seen things in the sky that at first I could not explain, however on further thought I am able to determine what I had seen in logical terms. This is the first time I could not come to a logical reason for what I saw. I just finished up being an aide in my son’s Religious Education class at Church and was walking to my automobile. Out of my left eye, I caught an orange light in the sky to the North. I then turned to look at it and noticed several more objects in trail, not flying in any sort of formation. I then looked to the Northwest in the direction of Luke Air Force Base and saw several others appearing from that direction. After viewing in Church parking lots for several minutes and taking two pictures, my son and I drove about a half mile north. The objects were almost directly over us at this point, and appeared to be a round flat light. I took another picture. As I was viewing them the lights appeared to go straight up and disappear into a thin cloud. We drive about 1,100 feet east from the point to get a better view. One last object appeared from same direction as others; however this one appeared to be larger than others. This last object disappeared straight up before I could unlock my phone to take a picture. This was not in any flight pattern I’ve seen in the 12 years living in this area. And I could look behind and above me to see the normal pattern of planes flying in/out of Sky Harbor and through its air space. At first I thought they might have been military helicopters. However I’ve seen flights of helicopters out of the Arizona National Guard base before and they tend to fly in formation and lower. Also each object had only one light with no visible tail rotor light. Further I ruled out hot air balloons because the lights were two small for that (the entire balloon usually lights up at night). Next thought was that I was seeing afterburners on jets out of Luke AFB. But this did not fit either. Flights out of the AFB are usually around four to six jets, and flying in some sort of formation. Also with 30 plus fighter jets in afterburners, the noise would have been horrendous. These objects made no observable sounds. Also if these were jets, they would have been moving much quicker in horizontal flight.

Two Michigan witnesses at Harbor Springs reported watching an 8-foot diameter ball of blue-white light hovering less than 100 feet away that appeared to move away in a controlled manner, according to testimony in Case 62045 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The testimony was filed for the witnesses by Michigan MUFON Chief Investigator Daniel Snow on December 18, 2014, for events that occurred at 6:15 a.m. on November 16, 2014.
The two witnesses had walked two hours to a remote deer hunting area when they encountered the UFO. Pictured: Harbor Springs, MI. (Credit: Google)
“Witness (A) and his brother, witness (B), were at a secluded deer hunting blind which was a two-hour hike in 10 inches of snow from their vehicle,” the investigator stated. “The location was on top of a prominent hill with a broad view of the valley below.”
The investigator described the strange encounter.
“After getting setup, still prior to sunrise, they noticed about a half dozen flashes of light. It was snowing moderately, when all of a sudden at close range, a stationary ball of white light appeared just above the tree tops nearby. The trees were about 30 feet high and the distance away was less than 100 feet.”
The object and its movement were described.
“The object appeared to be about the size of a small car, appeared to be a glowing blue/white ball of light with no edges and no attached object. After a few seconds of being stationary, the object proceeded to flow down the valley, parallel to the ground, and disappeared. The total sighting duration was about 30 seconds. The winds observed were from the north. The object departed to the east. No tracks, imprints or changes were observed to the nearby snow cover.”
The object appeared to be about the size of a small car, about 30 feet off of the ground, and less than 100 feet away. It appeared to be a glowing blue/white ball of light with no edges and no attached object. Pictured: Harbor Springs, MI. (Credit: Google)
Harbor Springs is a city and resort community in Emmet County, MI, population 1,194.
Michigan has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Michigan had 10 UFO reports that occurred during November 2014 – calculated at 1.01 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.
